Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This application is related to Merck U.S. patent application Ser. No. 353,224. Cholecystokinins (CCK) and gastrin are structurally-related neuropeptides which exist in gastrointestinal tissue and in the the central nervous system (see, V. Mutt, Gastrointestinal Hormones, G. B. J. Glass, Ed., Raven Press, N.Y., p. 169 and G. Nisson, ibid, p. 127). 
     The isolation of the 33-amino acid polypeptide, cholecystokinin (CCK-33), from porcine intestine, Mutt, V. et al., &#34;Structure of Porcine Cholecystokininpancreozymin. 1. Cleavage with Thrombin and Trypsin&#34;, European J. Biochem. 6, 156, (1968), was followed by the discovery that it occurs in numerous molecular forms at various sites throughout the peripheral and central nervous systems, Larsson, L. et al., &#34;Localization and Molecular Heterogeneity of Cholecystokinin in the Central and Peripheral Nervous System&#34;, Brain Res., 165, 201 (1979). In the mammalian brain the predominant fragments are the carboxy terminal octapeptide, H-Asp-Tyr(SO 3  H)-Met-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH 2  (CCK-8s, CCK 26-33 ) and tetrapeptide, CCK-4 (CCK 30-33 ). 
     The carboxy terminal octapeptide possesses the full biological profile of CCK, Dockray, G.J. et al., &#34;Isolation, Structure and Biological Activity of Two Cholecystokinin Octapeptides from Sheep Brain&#34;, Nature 274, 711 (1978), and meets many anatomical and biochemical criteria which characterize a neurotransmitter, Vanderhaeghen, J.J. et al., &#34;J. Neuronal Cholecystokinin&#34;, Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 448, (1985). The presence of high concentrations of CCK-8s in the mammalian CNS is complemented with findings of specific and high affinity membrane-bound CCK binding sites, Innis, R.B. et al., &#34;Distinct Cholecystokinin Receptors in Brain and Pancreas&#34;, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 77, 6917 (1980). 
     Evidence that more than one form of CCK receptor might exist was first provided in 1980 by Innis and Snyder, Innis, R.B. et al., &#34;Distinct Cholecystokinin Receptors in Brain and Pancreas&#34;, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 77, 6917 (1980). At present, CCK receptors have been differentiated into primarily two subtypes based on their affinity for CCK fragments and analogues, Innis, R.B. et al., &#34;Distinct Cholecystokinin Receptors in Brain and Pancreas&#34;, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 77, 6917 (1980). The subsequent development of agents which discriminate between different CCK receptor types afforded further support for these assignments, Chang, R.S.L. et al., &#34;Biochemical and Pharmacological Characterization of an Extremely Potent and Selective Nonpeptide Cholecystokinin Antagonist&#34;, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 83, 4923 (1986). 
     The CCK-A receptors, previously known as peripheral CCK receptors, are located in organs such as the pancreas, gallbladder, and colon. They exhibit high affinity for CCK-8s and a lower affinity for the corresponding desulphated fragment, CCK-8d, for CCK-4, and gastrin. Recent autoradiographic results have localized CCK-A receptors in the brain as well, Hill, D.R. et al., &#34;Autoradiographic Localization and Biochemical Characterization of Peripheral Type CCK Receptors in Rat CNS Using Highly Selective Nonpeptide CCK Antagonists⃡, J. Neurosci., 7, 2967 (1987). 
     The majority of the CCK receptors in the brain are of the CCK-B type. These were previously designated as central CCK receptors. CCK-B receptors are widely distributed throughout the brain and display high affinity for CCK-8s, CCK-4, and pentagastrin, Hill, D.R. et al., &#34;Autoradiographic Localization and Biochemical Characterization of Peripheral Type CCK Receptors in Rat CNS Using Highly Selective Nonpeptide CCK Antagonists&#34;, J. Neurosci, 7, 2967 (1987). 
     In addition to the above mentioned CCK receptor subtypes is a third type, the stomach gastrin receptor, which appears to be closely related to the CCK-B receptor subtype, Beinfeld, M.C., &#34;Cholecystokinin in the Central Nervous System; a Minireview&#34;, Neuropeptides, 3, 4111 (1983). The minimum fully potent CCK sequence at this receptor is CCK-4, Gregory, R.A., &#34;A Review of some Recent Development in the Chemistry of the Gastrins&#34;, Biorg. Chem., 8,497 (1979). 
     A wide range of physiological response has been attributed to CCK. In an effort to elucidate its biological roles, researchers have relied primarily on a collection of CCK-A antagonists which has been steadily supplemented and improved to now include very selective, high-affinity agents, Evans, B.E., &#34;Recent Developments in Cholecystokinin Antagonist Research,&#34; Drugs Future, 14, 971 (1989). In addition to their value as investigative tools, CCK antagonists retain considerable therapeutic potential, Gertz, B.J., &#34;Potential Clinical Applications, of a CCK Antagonist in Cholecystokinin Antagonists,&#34; Alan R. Liss, Inc.: New York, pp. 327 (1988). 
     In recent years, interest in agonists and antagonists of CCK has been stimulated by the possible clinical application of such compounds, Silverman, M.A. et al., &#34;Cholecystokinin Receptor Antagonists, a Review&#34;, Am J. Gastroenterol, 82, 703, (1987). The discovery of the presence of CCK in the brain and its significance in relation to its modulation of dopaminergic functions, effects on satiety, its roles in nociception, in anxiety, and other brain functions, Vanderhaeghen, J.J., et al., &#34;J. Neuronal Cholecystokinin&#34;, Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 448 (1985) has understandably intensified the search for CCK-B selective agents. Since the relevant biologically active fragment, CCK-8s, has a half-life of less than 1 hour, Deschodt-Lanchman, K., et al., &#34;Degradation of Cholecystokinin-like Peptides by a Crude Rat Brain Synaptosomal Fraction: a Study by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography&#34;, Reg. Pept., 2, 15 (1981), implicit in the development of candidates for clinical use are criteria of high potency, selectivity, long in-vivo duration, oral bioavailability, and capability of penetrating the blood-brain barrier. These are strict prerequisites, given the tenuous stature of peptides as drugs, Veber, D.F., et al., &#34;The Design of Metabolically-stable Peptide Analogs&#34;, Trends Neurosci.  8, 392 (1985). 
     Nevertheless, by employing stratagems which stabilize peptide structures, advances have been made toward developing highly potent and selective peptidal CCK-B receptor ligands Charpentier, B. et al., &#34;Cyclic Cholecystokinin Analogues with High Selectivity for Central Receptors&#34;. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 85, 1968, (1988). Analogues are now available which have proven resistant to enzymatic degradation Charpentier, B. et al., &#34;Enzyme-resistant CCK Analogs with High Affinities for Central Receptors&#34;, Peptides, 9 835 (1988). Despite favorable receptor binding profiles, this class of compounds fails to meet previously cited key requirements which characterize a drug candidate. In response, researchers have turned to non-peptide compounds which offer a broader range of structure and physicochemical properties. 
     It was, therefore, an object of this invention to identify pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of Formula I which are useful in the treatment of panic disorder or anxiety disorder in a mammal, especially in a human. It was another object of this invention to prepare pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of Formula I which are useful in the treatment of oncologic disorders, controlling pupil constriction in the eye, treating pain or inducing analgesia, or treating a withdrawal response produced by treatment or abuse of drugs or alcohol. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     It has now been found that pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of Formula I are useful in the treatment of panic disorder or anxiety disorder in a mammal, especially in a human. The compounds of Formula I are also useful in the treatment of oncologic disorders, controlling pupil constriction in the eye, treating pain or inducing analgesia, or treating a withdrawal response produced by treatment or abuse of drugs or alcohol. 
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention contain compounds of Formula I: ##STR1## wherein 
     R 1  is H, C 1  -C 4  -alkyl, cyclo-C 3  -C 7  alkyl, ##STR2## NR 4  R 5 , C 1  -C 4  -alkoxy, thio-C 1  -C 4  -alkoxy, OH, or SH; 
     R 2  is H, C 1  -C 4  alkyl, mono- or disubstituted or unsubstituted phenyl (wherein the substitutent(s) is/are independently selected from the group consisting of halo, C 1  -C 4  alkyl, C 1  -C 4  alkoxy, C 1  -C 4  -alkylthio, carboxyl, carboxy-C 1  -C 4  -alkyl, nitro, --CF 3 , ##STR3## and hydroxy), 2-, 3- or 4-pyridyl or --(CH x ) m  COOR 6  ; ##STR4##

     R 8  is H, C 1  -C 4  -alkyl, cyclo-C 3  -C 7  -alkyl, --(CH 2 ) n  -cyclo-C 3  -C 7  alkyl, ##STR6## 
     R 9  is OH, OR 11  or NR 4  R 5  ; 
     R 10  is H, --OH, or --CH 3  ; 
     R 11  and R 12  are independently C 1  -C 4  alkyl or cyclo-C 3  -C 7  -alkyl; 
     R 13  is ##STR7## 
     R 14  is C 1  -C 4  -alkyl or phenyl-C 1  -C 4  alkyl; 
     R 18  is H, C 1  -C 4  alkyl, formyl, acetyl, propionyl or butyryl; 
     m is 1 to 4; 
     n is 0 to 4; 
     q is 0 to 4; 
     r is 1 to 2; 
     X 1  is H, --NO 2  CF 3 , CN, OH, C 1  -C 4  -alkyl, halo, C 1  -C 4  alkylthio, C 1  -C 4  -alkoxy, --(CH 2 ) n  COOR 6 , --NR 4  R 5 , or ##STR8## 
     X 2  and X 3  are independently H, --OH, --NO 2 , halo, C 1  -C 4  -alkylthio, C 1  -C 4  alkyl, C 1  -C 4  alkoxy or ##STR9##

     --is a saturated (single) or unsaturated (double) bond; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 
     The stereochemistry of the compounds may be D, L or DL. 
     As used herein, the definition of each expression, e.g., m, n, p, loweralkyl, etc., when it occurs more than once in any structure, is intended to be independent of its definition elsewhere in the same structure. 
     However, in the compounds of Formula I, the preferred stereochemistry for CCK-antagonism relates to D-tryptophan, where C 3a  and N 5  (C 4a  and N 6  for pyrimido analogs) of Formula I correspond to the carbonyl carbon and a-amino nitrogen of D-tryptophan respectively, and R 3  occupies the position of the indolylmethyl side chain. Then, in the compounds of Formula I, the preferred stereochemistry for gastrin antagonism may be either D or L depending on the nature of R 3 . For example, when R 3  is (CH 2 ) n  R 7  or ##STR10## the preferred stereochemistry corresponds to D-tryptophan, as above, and when R 3  is ##STR11## the preferred stereochemistry corresponds to L-tryptophan. 
     As used herein, halo is F, Cl, Br, or I and C 1  -C 4  alkyl groups are either straight or branched-chain alkyl and include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, and t-butyl. 
     Preferred pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds according to the present invention are those wherein R 1  is H or methyl, R 2  is phenyl or o-F-phenyl, R 3  is ##STR12## 
     X 1  and X 2  are independently H, --NO 2 , halo, methyl, or methoxy, and either: W is CR 1 , Y is N and Z is CH; or W is CR 1 , Y is S and Z is absent; or W is CR 1 , 
     Y is O and Z is absent; or W is NH, Y is N and Z is absent. Another representative example of a preferred pharmaceutical composition are those wherein R 3  is ##STR13## R 7  is ##STR14## and the stereochemistry corresponds to L-tryptophan. For preventing and treating CCK-related problems, preferred compounds are those wherein R 3  is 
     R 7  is ##STR15## 
     X 2  is halo and wherein R 3  is ##STR16## 
     R 7  is ##STR17## and the stereochemistry corresponds to D-tryptophan. Such particularly preferred pharmaceutical compositions include, for CCK-antagonism: 
     5(S)-5-(2-indolecarbonylamino)-7-phenyl-5H-pyrimido[5,4-d][2]benzazepine; 
     4(S)-4-(4-chlorophenylcarbonylamino)-2-methyl-6-phenyl - 4H-thiazolo-[5,4-d][2]benzazepine; 
     4(S)-4-(2-indolecarbonylamino)-6-phenyl-4H-oxazolo[5,4-d][2]benzazepine; or 
     4(S)-4-(2-indolecarbonylamino)-6-phenyl-2H, 4H-[1,2,3]triazolo-[5,4-d]2]benzazepine; and for gastrin antagonism: 
     5(R)-5-(3-methoxyphenylaminocarbonylamino)-7-phenyl-5H-pyrimido[5,4-d][2]benzazepine; 
     4(R)-4-(3-methylphenylaminocarbonylamino)-2-methyl-6-phenyl-4H-thiazolo-[5,4-d]5,4-d][2]benzazepine; 
     4(R)-4-(3-chlorophenylaminocarbonylamino)-6-phenyl-4H-oxazolo-[5,4-d][2]benzazepine; or 
     4(R)-4-(3-methoxyphenylaminocarbonylamino)-6phenyl-2H,4H-[1,2,3]triazolo-[5,4-d][2]benzazepine; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 
     The pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of the compounds of Formula I include the conventional non-toxic salts or the qarternary ammonium salts of the compounds of Formula I formed, e.g., from non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. For example, such conventional non-toxic salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric and the like; and the salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, stearic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, pamoic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, phenylacetic, glutamic, benzoic, salicylic, sulfanilic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, fumaric, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, isethionic, and the like. 
     The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of Formula I are particularly distinguished from benzazepines of the prior art by the presence of 3-substituents. These Formula I compounds bind strongly to CCK-receptors, but only weakly to benzodiazepine-receptors, especially with the increasing size of the 3-substituent. 
     Compounds according to Formula (I) may be prepared according to Scheme I through VIII as follows: ##STR18## (wherein R 3 ,n is at least 1, when the attachment atom to R 7  is C, and otherwise, n is at least 2). ##STR19## (except where atom adjacent to R 7  is other than C). ##STR20## 
     Referring to Reaction Scheme I, the iodobenzophenone 2 required for the palladium catalyzed coupling reaction between the aryl iodide and monosubstituted acetylene, is readily prepared by diazotization of the corresponding o-aminobenzophenone 1 with nitrosyl sulfate followed by treatment of the diazonium salt with aqueous potassium iodide. The coupling of 2 with propargylphthalimide in the presence of dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) and cuprous iodide in a mixture of diethylamine and methylene chloride yields the acetylenic benzophenone 3. Removal of the phthaloyl protecting group from 3 with 40% aqueous methylamine in ethanol gives the amine 4, in approximately quantitative yield, which contains the atoms necessary for construction of the benzazepine ring. Hydration of the acetylene in 4 with either cold concentrated sulfuric acid or with mercuric sulfate in formic acid gives, after basification of the reaction medium, the 2-benzazepin-4-one 6, presumably via the amino ketone 5. 
     Treatment of 6 with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal in DMF between room temperature and 80° C. gives in high yield the (dimethylamino)methylene ketone 7. The addition of reagents, exemplified by acetamidine, isobutyramidine, thiourea, and guanidine, to 7 in the presence of sodium methoxide leads to the corresponding 2-substituted pyrimidobenzazepines 9. 
     Continuing with Reaction Scheme I, the 2-amino derivative 9 proves to be a useful compound for preparing pyrimidobenzazepines having substituents in the 2-position that were not readily accessible via 7 and the appropriately-substituted guanidine or amidine. Hydrolysis of 9 with aqueous sulfuric acid gives the pyrimidone 10, which, when treated with phosphorous oxychloride leads to the chloro derivative 11. Displacement of the chloride in 11 with an alkoxide or an amine gives the corresponding alkoxy or amino derivatives 9. In addition, reaction of 11 with sodium malonate esters gives upon workup the esters 12. Hydrolsis of 12 with aqueous sodium hydroxide leads to the acid 13; treatment of 12 with amines yields 14. 
     The starting materials for the preparation of thiazolo[5,4-][2]benzazepines are the acetylenic compounds 3. Hydration of 3 with formic acid/water in the presence of mercuric sulfate gives the ketones 15. Bromination of 15 with cupric bromide yields the bromo ketones 16, which condenses readily with thiourea or thioamide derivatives to give the thiazoles 17. Removal of the phthaloyl group by treatment of 17 with methylamine gives the thiazolo[5,4-d][2]benzazepines 18, see Scheme II. 
     A less efficient synthesis of compound 18 starts with the alcohol 19, and is outlined in Scheme III. Oxidation of 19 with pyridinium chlorochromate gives the aldehyde 20, which is further oxidized by the method of Corey et al., (J. Amer. Chem. Soc., (1968) 90, 5616), and gives the methyl ester 21. Condensation of 21 with anion of acetonitrile gives the keto nitrile 22. Treatment of 22 with cupric bromide gives the bromo ketone 23, which, without purification, is condensed with thiourea to give the thiazole 24. Treatment of 24 with acetic anhydride gives 25, which is oxidized to the ketone 26. Hydrogenation of 26 with Raney nickel as catalyst gives directly the cyclized 2-benzazepine 27. Basic hydrolysis of 27 gives the amine 18, identical with the product prepared by the method of Scheme II. 
     Referring to Scheme IV, pyrimidobenzazepine 9 is reduced with zinc in acetic acid and methylene chloride, and the resultant amine is protected as either the p-toluenesulfonate or trifluoroacetate. Oxidation of 28 with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid gives oxazole 29 and some pyrimidine N-oxide. Treatment of 29 with sodium methoxide gives oxazolobenzazepine 30. 
     The readily-available acetylenic benzophenones 3, whose preparation has been described in Scheme I, provides a convenient starting point for the synthesis of triazolobenzazepine ring systems, as shown in Scheme V. Treatment of 3 with sodium azide in warm dimethyl sulfoxide containing acetic acid results in the formation of the triazoles 31. Removal of the phthaloyl group from 31 with 40% aqueous methylamine in ethanol generates the opened derivatives, which spontaneously ring closes to the desired triazolobenzazepines 34, respectively. 
     When the benzophenone is substituted in the ortho position with a halogen atom, the sodium azide addition to the acetylene requires the use of at least 1 equiv of acetic acid or a similar proton source. In the absence of acetic acid, the initially formed triazole anion displaces the ortho halogen and results in the formation of 9 triazolodibenzazepine. The use of acetic acid allows protonation of the initially formed anion, and the resulting triazole, a weaker nucleophile, is less likely to displace the halogen. This method works well where the ortho substituent is chlorine. The displacement of fluorine in 31 can not be satisfactorily suppressed with acetic acid; thus, it is necessary to deactivate the carbon atom bearing fluorine by reduction of the carbonyl group to give the benzhydrol 32. Reaction of 32 with sodium azide and acetic acid in dimethyl sulfoxide gives the triazole 33. Oxidation of 33 with Jones reagent gives 31. 
     An alternate procedure for the synthesis of 34 utilizes the reaction of sodium azide with the benzoate 35. By this method, not only is the triazole ring formed but also azide ion displaces the benzoate group in 35, resulting in the triazolo azide 36. Hydrogenation of 36 with Raney nickel as catalyst gives the amino compound, which cyclizes in situ to the triazolobenzazepine 34. 
     Referring now to Reaction Scheme VI, the anion 37 is generated from compounds produced in Schemes I-V using lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) or using potassium tert-butoxide. 
     The compound 37 may be variously treated. For example, the hydroxy alkyl derivative 40 is generated by adding an aldehyde to a solution of 36. Treatment of 37 with an epoxide yields the hydroxyethyl derivative 39. By treating 37 with an alkyl halide, the alkyl derivative 38 is produced. 
     An alternative procedure for obtaining 37 is to treat the compounds from Schemes I-V with an alkyl halide and a strong base such as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and heating. 
     Reaction Scheme VII describes the formation of R 3  =keto compounds of Formula I. These are produced by treating the anion 37 with an acid halide or anhydride. This reaction produces both isomers 41 and 42. When the reaction is run in the presence of peroxide, the hydroxy compounds 43 and 44 are produced. 
     Reaction Scheme VIII describes the formation of Formula I compounds where R 3  is a substituted amino or aminomethyl. The heterocycle fused benzazepines are either known or readily derivable from known compounds. The amino compounds may also be obtained by nitrosation of 37 followed by reduction of the oxime 44 with Raney nickel and hydrogen. 
     When 45 is treated with an alkyl halide, the N-alkyl derivative 46 is produced. Treatment of 45 with an acid halide or anhydride produces the N-acyl derivative 48. Compound 45 may also be treated with an N-protected a-amino acid and a coupling reagent such as DCC or DPPA (diphenylphosphorylazide) to give the amides of structure 49. Treatment of compound 45 with an isocyanate gives the ureas 47. 
     The pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of the present invention may be synthesized from the compounds of Formula I which contain an acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Generally, the salts are prepared by reacting the free acid with stoichiometric amounts of or with an excess of the desired salt-forming inorganic or organic base in a suitable solvent or in various combinations of solvents. 
     The pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of the compounds of Formula I include the conventional non-toxic salts of the compounds of Formula I prepared by conventional procedures, such as treating a basic moiety of Formula I with an appropriate amount of an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, nitric and the like or an organic acid, such as acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, stearic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, pamoic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, phenylacetic, glutamic, benzoic, salicylic, sulfanilic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, fumaric, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, isethionic, and the like. 
     Screening of the novel compounds according to the present invention to determine biological activity and obtain an IC 50  value for them (in order to identify significant CCK-antagonism), may be accomplished using an  125  I-CCK-receptor binding assay and in vitro isolated tissue preparations. To identify significant gastrin antagonism,  125  I-gastrin and  3  H-pentagastrin binding assays are used. These tests involve the following: 
     CCK receptor binding (pancreas) method 
     CCK-8, radiolabeled with  125  I-Bolton Hunter reagent (2000 Ci/mmole), is purchased from New England Nuclear (NEN) and receptor binding is performed according to Innis and Snyder (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 77, 6917-6921, 1980), with minor modification as described in Chang and Lotti (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 83, 4923-4926, 1986). 
     The whole pancreas of a male Sprague-Dawley rat (200-350 g), which has been sacrificed by decapitation, is dissected free of fat tissue and homogenized in 20 volumes of ice-cold 50 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.7 at 25° C.) with a Brinkmann Polytron PT-10. The homogenates are centrifuged at 48,000 g for 10 minutes, then the resulting pellets are resuspended in Tris Buffer, Centrifuged as above, and resuspended in 200 volumes of binding assay buffer (50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.7 at 25° C., 5 mM dithiothreitol and 0.1 mM bacitracin). 
     For the binding assay, 25 ml of buffer (for total binding), or unlabeled CCK-8 sulfate sufficient to give a final concentration of 1 mM of CCK-8 (for nonspecific binding), or the compounds according to the instant invention (for determination of antagonism to  125  I-CCK binding) and 25 ml of  125  I-CCK-8 (30,000-40,000 cpm), are added to 450 ml of the membrane suspensions in duplicate or triplicate test tubes. The reaction mixtures are incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes and then filtered on glass fiber GF/B filters, which are then rapidly washed with 3×4 ml of ice cold Tris HCl containing 1 mg/ml BSA, and the filters are counted with a Beckman Gamma 5000. For Scatchard analysis to determine the mechanism of inhibition of  125  I-CCK binding by the most potent compounds (Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 51, 660, 1949),  125  I-CCK-8 is progressively diluted with increasing concentrations of CCK-8. 
     CCK receptor binding (brain) method 
       125  I-CCK-8 binding is performed similarly to the method described by Saito et al., (J. Neurochem., 37, 483-490, 1981), with modification described by Chang and Lotti (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 83, 4923-4924, 1986). 
     Male Hartley guinea pigs (300-500 g) are sacrificed by decapitation, and the brains are removed and placed in ice-cold 50 mM Tris HCl (Trizma-7.4) [pH 7.4 at 25° C.]. The cerebral cortex is dissected and used as a receptor source and each gram of fresh guinea pig brain tissue is homogenized in 10 ml of Tris/Trizma buffer with a Brinkmann polytron PT-10. The homogenates are centrifuged at 42,000 g for 15 minutes, then the resulting pellets are resuspended in 200 volumes of binding assay buffer (10 mM N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N&#39;-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), 5 mM MgCl 2 , 1 mM ethylene glycol-bis-(β-aminoethylether)-N,N&#39;-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), 0.4% BSA (bovine serum albumin) and 0.25 mg/ml bacitracin, (pH 6.5). 
     The remainder of the binding assay method is as described for the pancreas method, except that the reaction mixtures are incubated at 25° C. for 2 hours before centrifugation. 
     Isolated guinea pig gall bladder method 
     The two halves of the gall bladders, free of adjacent tissue, of male Hartley guinea pigs (400-600 g), which have been sacrificed by decapitation, are suspended under 1 g tension along the axis of the bile duct in 5 ml organ bath, containing a Kreb&#39;s bicarbonate solution of 118 mM NaCl, 4.75 mM KCl, 2.54 mM CaCl 2 , 1.19 mM KH 2  PO 4 , 1.2 mM MgSO 4 , 25 mM NaHCO 3  and 11 mM dextrose, which is maintained at 32° C. and bubbled with a mixture of 95% O 2  and 5% CO 2 . The tissues are washed every 10 minutes for one hour to obtain equilibrium prior to the beginning of the study and the isometric contractions of the strips are recorded using Statham (60 g:0.12 mm) strain gauges and a Hewlett-Packard 77588 recorder. 
     CCK-8 is added cumulatively to the baths and EC 50  &#39;s are determined using regression analysis. After washout (ever 10 minutes for one hour), the compound to be tested is added at least 5 minutes before the addition of CCK-8 and the EC 50  of CCK-8 in the presence of compound to be tested is similarly determined. 
     A shift to the right of the CCK dose response curve without reduction of the maximal centractile response, indicates competitive antagonism of CCK from this method. 
     Isolated longitudinal muscle of guinea pig ileum 
     Longitudinal muscle strips with attached nerve plexus are prepared as described in Brit. J. Pharmac. 23:356-363, 1964; J. Physiol. 194: 13-33, 1969. Male Hartley guinea pigs are decapitated and the ileum removed (10 cm of the terminal ileum is discarded and the adjacent 20 cm piece used) with a 10 cm piece of the ileum being stretched on a glass pipette. Using a cotton applicator to stroke tangentially away from the mesentery attachment at one end, the longitudinal muscle is separated from the underlying circular muscle and the longitudinal muscle is tied to a thread and by gently pulling, stripped away from the entire muscle. A piece of approximately 2 cm is suspended in 5 ml organ bath containing Krebs solution and bubbled with 95% O 2  and 5% CO 2  at 37° C. under 0.5 g tension. CCK-8 is added cumulatively to the baths and EC 50  values in the presence and absence of compounds to be tested are determined, as described in the gall bladder protocol above. 
     Gastrin Receptor Binding in Guinea Pig Gastric Glands 
     Guinea pig gastric mucosal glands are prepared by the procedure of Berglingh and Obrink, Acta Physiol. Scand. 96: 150 (1976), with a slight modification according to Praissman et al. E. J. Receptor Res. 3: (1983). Gastric mucosa from male Hartley guinea pigs (300-500 g body weight) are washed thoroughly and minced with fine scissors in standard buffer consisting of the following: 130 mM NaCl, 12 mM NaHCO 3 , 3 mM NaH 2  PO 4 , 3 mM glucose, 4 mM L-glutamine and 25 mM HEPES at pH 7.4. The minced tissues are washed and incubated in a 37° C. shaker bath for 40 minutes, with the buffer containing 0.1% collagenase and 0.1% BSA, and bubbled with 95% O 2  and 5% CO 2 . The tissues are passed twice through a 5 ml glass syringe to liberate the gastric glands, and then filtered through 200 mesh nylon. The filtered glands are centrifuged at 270 g for 5 minutes and washed twice by resuspension and centrifugation. 
     The washed guinea pig gastric glands are resuspended in 25 ml of standard buffer containing 0.25 mg/ml of bacitracin. For binding studies, 10 ml of buffer (for total binding) or gastrin (1 mM final concentration, for nonspecific binding) or test compound and 10 ml of  125  I-gastrin (NEN, 2200 Ci/mmole, 25 pM final) or  3  H-pentagastrin (NEN, 22 Ci/mmole, 1 nM final) are added to 220 ml of gastric glands in triplicate tubes which are aerated with 95% O 2  and 5% CO 2 , and capped. The reaction mixtures, after incubation at 25° C. for 30 minutes, are filtered under reduced pressure on glass G/F B filters (Whatman) and immediately washed with 4×4 ml of standard buffer containing 0.1% BSA. The radioactivity on the filters is measured using a Beckman gamma 5500 for  125  I-gastrin or liquid scintillation counting for  3  H-pentagastrin. 
     The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of Formula I may further be useful in the treatment or prevention of central nervous system disorders including neurological and pyschiatric disorders. Examples of such central nervous system disorders include anxiety disorders and panic disorders. Additional examples of central nervous system disorders include panic syndrome, anticipatory anxiety, phobic anxiety, panic anxiety, chronic anxiety, and endogenous anxiety. 
     The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of Formula I may further be useful in the treatment of oncologic disorders. Examples of such oncologic disorders include small cell adenocarcinomas and primary tumors of the central nervous system glial and neuronal cells. Examples of such adenocarcinomas and tumors include, but are not limited to, tumors of the lower esophagus, stomach, intestine, colon and lung, including small cell lung carcinoma. 
     The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of Formula I may further be used to control pupil constriction in the eye. The compounds may be used for therapeutic purposes during eye examinations and intraocular surgery in order to prevent miosis. The compounds may further be used to inhibit moisis occurring in association with iritis, uveitis and trauma. 
     The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of Formula I are also useful for directly inducing analgesia, opiate or non-opiate mediated, as well as anesthesia or loss of the sensation of pain. 
     The pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of Formula I may further be useful for preventing or treating the withdrawal response produced by chronic treatment or abuse of drugs or alcohol. Such drugs include, but are not limited to cocaine, alcohol or nicotine. 
     A further embodiment of this invention is a composition comprising an effective amount of a compound of Formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 
     When a compound according to Formula I is used as an antagonist of CCK or gastrin in a human subject, the daily dosage will normally be determined by the prescribing physician with the dosage generally varying according to the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, as well as the severity of the patient&#39;s symptoms. However, in most instances, an effective daily dosage will be in the range of from about 000.5 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight , and preferably, of from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight, and most preferably, of from about 0.5 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg of body weight administered in single or divided doses. 
     In some cases, however, it may be necessary to use dosage levels outside these limits. For example, doses as low as about 1 ng/kg, about 0.005 μg to about 0.05 μg, or about 100 ng to about 100 μg/kg may be administered. 
     In the effective treatment of panic syndrome, panic disorder, anxiety disorder and the like, preferably about 0.05 mg/kg to about 0.5 mg/kg of CCK antagonist maybe administered orally (p.o.), administered in single or divided doses per day (b.i.d.). Other routes of administration are also suitable. 
     For directly inducing analgesia, anesthesia or loss of pain sensation, the effective dosage range is preferably from about 100 ng/kg to about 1 mg/kg by intraperitoneal administration. Oral administration is an alternative route, as well as others. 
     The compounds of the instant invention or pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, may be administered to a human subject either alone or, preferably, in combination with pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers, excipients or diluents, optionally with known adjuvants, such as alum, in a pharmaceutical composition, according to standard pharmaceutical practice. The compounds can be administered orally or parenterally, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and topical administration. 
     For oral use of an antagonist of CCK, according to this invention, the selected compounds may be administered, for example, in the form of tablets or capsules, or as an aqueous solution or suspension. In the case of tablets for oral use, carriers which are commonly used include lactose and corn starch, and lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are commonly added. For oral administration in capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dried corn starch. When aqueous suspensions are required for oral use, the active ingredient is combined with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening and/or flavoring agents may be added. For intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and intravenous use, sterile solutions of the active ingredient are usually prepared, and the pH of the solutions should be suitably adjusted and buffered. For intravenous use, the total concentration of solutes should be controlled in order to render the preparation isotonic. 
     The invention is further defined by reference to the following examples which are intended to be illustrative and not limiting.
