Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001]     Adenosine is a ubiquitous biochemical messenger. Adenosine binds to and activates certain seven transmembrane-spanning G-protein coupled receptors, eliciting a variety of physiological responses. Adenosine receptors are divided into four known subtypes (i.e. A 1 , A 2a , A 2b , and A 3 ). These receptor subtypes mediate different and sometimes opposing effects. In general, activation of the adenosine A 2a  or A 2b  receptor leads to an increase in cellular cAMP levels, while activation of the adenosine A 1  or A 3  receptor leads to a decrease in cellular cAMP levels. A 2a  adenosine receptors are abundant in the basal ganglia, a region of the brain associated with the pathphysiology of Parkinson&#39;s disease. For reviews concerning A 2a  adenosine receptors, see, e.g., Moreau et al., Brain Research Reviews 31:65-82 (1999) and Svenningsson et al., Progress in Neurobiology 59:355-396 (1999). For a discussion of the role and regulation of adenosine in the central nervous system, see, e.g., Dunwiddie et al., Ann. Rev. Neuroscience 24:31-55 (2001).  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0002]     The invention is based on the discovery that compounds of formula (I) are unexpectedly potent antagonists of the A 2a  subtype of adenosine receptors. Many compounds of formula (I) also selectively inhibit the A 2a  adenosine receptors. Adenosine antagonists of the present invention are useful in the prevention and/or treatment of various diseases and disorders related to modulation of A 2a  adenosine receptor signaling pathways. Such a disease or disorder can be, e.g., neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson&#39;s disease and Parkinson&#39;s-like syndromes such as progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy, senile dementia such as Alzheimer&#39;s disease, depression, AIDS encephalopathy, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, migraine, attention deficit disorder, narcolepsy, sleep apnea or other disorders that cause excessive daytime sleepiness, Huntington&#39;s disease, cerebral ischemia, brain trauma, hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver.

         [0016]     Some examples of a compound of formula (I) are shown in Examples 1-153 below.  
         [0017]     An N-oxide derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of each of the compounds of formula (I) is also within the scope of this invention. For example, a nitrogen ring atom of the triazolotriazine or the pyrazolotriazine core ring or a nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl substituent can form an oxide in the presence of a suitable oxidizing agent such as m-chloroperbenzoic acid or H 2 O 2 .  
         [0018]     A compound of formula (I) that is acidic in nature (e.g., having a carboxyl or phenolic hydroxyl group) can form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt such as a sodium, potassium, calcium, or gold salt. Also within the scope of the invention are salts formed with pharmaceutically acceptable amines such as ammonia, alkyl amines, hydroxyalkylamines, and N-methylglycamine. A compound of formula (I) can be treated with an acid to form acid addition salts. Examples of such an acid include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, p-bromophenyl-sulfonic acid, carbonic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, salicylic acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, ascorbic acid, maleic acid, acetic acid, and other mineral and organic acids well known to a skilled person in the art. The acid addition salts can be prepared by treating a compound of formula (I) in its free base form with a sufficient amount of an acid (e.g., hydrochloric acid) to produce an acid addition salt (e.g., a hydrochloride salt). The acid addition salt can be converted back to its free base form by treating the salt with a suitable dilute aqueous basic solution (e.g., sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, or ammonia). Compounds of formula (I) can also be, e.g., in a form of achiral compounds, racemic mixtures, optically active compounds, pure diastereomers, or a mixture of diastereomers.  
         [0019]     Compounds of formula (I) exhibit surprisingly high affinity to the A 2a  subtype of adenosine receptors, e.g., with K i  values of less than 10 μM under conditions as described in Example 154. Some compounds of formula (I) exhibit K i  values of below 1 μM. Many compounds of formula (I) are selectively inhibitors of the A 2a  adenosine receptors (e.g., these compounds inhibit the A 2a  adenosine receptors at least 10 times better than other subtypes of adenosine receptors, e.g., the A 1  adenosine receptors or the A 3  adenosine receptors.  
         [0020]     Compounds of formula (I) can also be modified by appending appropriate functionalities to enhance selective biological properties. Such modifications are known in the art and include those that increase biological penetration into a given biological system (e.g., blood, lymphatic system, central nervous system), increase oral availability, increase solubility to allow administration by injection, alter metabolism, and/or alter rate of excretion. Examples of these modifications include, but are not limited to, esterification with polyethylene glycols, derivatization with pivolates or fatty acid substituents, conversion to carbamates, hydroxylation of aromatic rings, and heteroatom-substitution in aromatic rings.

Also included in the present invention is a medicament composition including any of the compounds of formula (I), alone or in a combination, together with a suitable excipient.  
         [0022]     In a further aspect, the invention features a method of inhibiting the A 2a  adenosine receptors (e.g., with an K i  value of less than 10 μM; preferably, less than 1 μM) in a cell, including the step of contacting the cell with an effective amount of one or more compounds of formula (I). Also with the scope of the invention is a method of modulating the A 2a  adenosine receptor signaling pathways in a cell or in a subject (e.g., a mammal such as human), including the step of contacting the cell with or administering to the subject an effective amount of one or more of a compound of formula (I).  
         [0023]     Also within the scope of the present invention is a method of treating a subject or preventing a subject suffering from a condition or a disease wherein the causes or symptoms of the condition or disease are associated with an activation of the A 2a  adenosine receptor. The method includes the step of administering to the subject an effective amount of one or more of a compound of formula (I). The conditions or diseases can be, e.g., neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson&#39;s disease and Parkinson&#39;s-like syndromes such as progressive supranuclear palsy and multiple system atrophy, senile dementia such as Alzheimer&#39;s disease, depression, AIDS encephalopathy, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, migraine, attention deficit disorder, narcolepsy, sleep apnea or other disorders that cause excessive daytime sleepiness, Huntington&#39;s disease, cerebral ischemia, brain trauma, hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver.  
         [0024]     Compounds of formula (I) may be utilized as sedatives, muscle relaxants, antipsychotics, antidepressants, anxiolytics, analgesics, respiratory stimulants, antiepileptics, anticonvulsants, and cardioprotective agents.  
         [0025]     Also within the scope of the invention is a method of treating or preventing a condition or a disease characterized by or resulted from an over-activation of the A 2a  adenosine receptor by administering to a subject in need of such a treatment an effective amount of any of compounds of formula (I) in combination with one or more known A 2a  antagonists. For example, a patient suffering from Parkinson&#39;s disease can be treated by administering an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) in combination with an agent such as L-DOPA, a dopaminergic agonist, an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (type B), a DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor, or a catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor. The compound of formula (I) and the agent can be administered to a patient simultaneously or in sequence.

         [0047]     An antagonist is a molecule that binds to the receptor without activating the receptor. It competes with the endogenous ligand(s) or substrate(s) for binding site(s) on the receptor and, thus inhibits the ability of the receptor to transduce an intracellular signal in response to endogenous ligand binding.  
         [0048]     As compounds of formula (I) are antagonists of the A 2a  subtype of the adenosine receptors, these compounds are useful in inhibiting the consequences of signal transduction through the adenosine A 2a  receptor. Thus, compounds of formula (I) possess the therapeutical utility of treating and/or preventing disorders or diseases for which inhibition of the adenosine A 2a  receptor signaling pathways is desirable (e.g., Parkinson&#39;s disease or depression).

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0051]     Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, suitable materials and methods are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and are not intended to be limiting.  
         [0000]     Synthesis of the Adenosine Antagonist Compounds  
         [0052]     Compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by a number of known methods from commercially available or known starting materials.  
         [0053]     In one method, a compound of formula (I) is prepared according to the method outlined in Scheme 1 below. Specifically, the method utilizes a sulfone starting material (II) or a chloro (or other halo groups) starting material (III). The sulfone starting material (II), wherein B, B 1 , and B 2  are N and X 1  is a bond, can be prepared according to known methods, e.g., see Caulkett et al.,  J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans I.  801-808 (1995) and de Zwart et al.,  Drug Dev. Res.  48:95-103 (1999). The chloro starting material (III) (wherein B is N or C, either B 1  or B 2  is N, and X 1  is a bond) can also be prepared according to known methods, see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,222,035 and WO 99/43678. See also Kranz, E. et al., Chemische Berichte 105:388-405 (1972) and Marei, M. G., Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan 66:1172-1175 (1993). As apparent to a skilled person in the art, starting materials wherein X 1  is not a bond (e.g., X 1  is an alkynylene) can be prepared by many known methods. For example, one can react the sulfone starting material (II) wherein X 1  is a bond (e.g., 2-furan-2-yl-5-methanesulfonyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-7-ylamine) with an appropriate nucleophile, e.g., methylsulfanylethyne or chloroethyne, to form an intermediate with a methylsulfanyl or a chloro group, respectively. The intermediate with a methylsulfanyl group can be further modified by, e.g., oxidation of the methylsulfanyl group to methylsulfonyl group to form a starting material (II) wherein X 1  is an alkynylene.  
         [0054]     According to the method depicted in Scheme 1, the starting material (II) or (III) can react with a bicyclic diamine compound L (e.g., 2,5-diaza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) to form an intermediate (IV). The reaction can be carried out in an appropriate solvent such as acetonitrile (CH 3 CN), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), or N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at a temperature ranging from about 80° C. to about 120° C. The intermediate (IV) can further react, via the free amino group of moiety L, with a compound of the formula R 1 —Y—X 2 -LG (where R 1 , Y, and X 2  have been defined above and LG represents an appropriate leaving group such as halide, mesylate, or tosylate) to form a desired compound of formula (I). See Route (A) below and Examples 13 and 15.  
         [0055]     Alternatively, the intermediate (IV) can react with an appropriate aldehyde or carboxylic acid to form an amide, which can then undergo reductive amination to form a desired compound of formula (I). Examples of a typical reducing agent used in this reaction are sodium cyanoborohydride and sodium triacetoxyborohydride. See Route (B) below and Example 14.  
         [0056]     Still another alternative method involves reacting the intermediate (IV) with an appropriate epoxide to form a desired compound of formula (I). See Route (C) below. Note that the reaction between moiety L and the epoxide ring leads to opening of the ring, thus forming a hydroxy-containing moiety X 2 . Moiety X 2a  and hydroxyethylene group (from the epoxide ring) together form moiety X 2  (see route (C) shown in Scheme 1 below).  
                         
 
         [0057]     In another method, a compound of formula (I) can be prepared by reacting the starting material of formula (II) or formula (III) with a compound of the formula Y′—X 2 -L′, where L′ and Y′ are the precursor of moieties L and Y, respectively. For example, the compound Y′—X 2 -L′ can be a hydroxyalkyl substituted bicyclic compound with a nitrogen ring atom (e.g., (octahydro-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazin-7-yl)-methanol). Note that a compound of the formula Y′—X 2 -L′ can be prepared by known methods, see, e.g., Bright and Desai, U.S. Pat. No. 5,122,525 and Urban, J. Heterocyclic Chem. 32: 857 (1995). The free amine of the bicyclic ring can react with the sulfone or halo group of the starting material (II) or (III) to form the intermediate (V). The hydroxy group of moiety Y′ can undergo further modification and then react with a compound R 1 ′ (the precursor of moiety R 1 ) to form a compound of formula (I). For example, Y′ can be converted from a hydroxyl group to a mesylate or a tosylate group, which can react with a compound R 1 ′ (e.g., a phenol or a piperidine) to form a compound of formula (I). See Scheme 2, route (1) below and Example 5. As another example, Y′ can be converted from a hydroxyl group to tin amine group, which can undergo further transformations, e.g., according to route (A), (B), or (C) as shown in Scheme 1, to form a compound of formula (I). See Scheme 2, route (2) below and Examples 9-12.  
                         
                         
 
         [0058]     In a further method, the compound of the formula L′-X 1′  (wherein L′ and X 1 ′ are precursors of moiety L and X 1 , respectively) can couple to a compound R 1 —Y—X 2 ′ (wherein X 2 ′ is the precursor of moiety X 2 ) to form a compound of the formula R 1 —Y—X 2 -L-X 1 ′ prior to reacting with a starting material of formula (II) or formula (III). For example, the compound L′-X 1 ′ can be a hydroxyalkyl substituted bicyclic compound with a nitrogen ring atom (e.g., (octahydro-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazin-6-yl)-methanol), which can react with a halo-substituted aralkyl (e.g., 2,4-difluorobenzylbromide) to form a compound of the formula R 1 —Y—X 2 -L-X 1 ′ (e.g., [2-(2,4-difluoro-benzyl)-octahydro-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazin-6-yl]-methanol, wherein Y is a bond). This compound of the formula R 1 —Y—X 2 -L-X 1 ′ can be further modified to convert the hydroxyl group into an amine group (e.g., C-[2-(2,4-difluoro-benzyl)-octahydro-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazin-6-yl]-methylamine), which can react with a starting material (II) or (III) to yield a compound of formula (I). See Scheme 3 and Example 6 below.  
                         
 
         [0059]     As can be appreciated by the skilled artisan, the above synthetic schemes are exemplary and not intended to comprise a comprehensive list of all means by which the compounds described and claimed in this application may be synthesized. For example, the reaction steps shown in the schemes above can be conducted in a different order, e.g., by reacting a compound of the formula Y—X 2 -L with the sulfone or chloride starting material before coupling with R 1 . Further methods will be evident to those of ordinary skill in the art.  
         [0060]     For reference on protecting groups, see, e.g., Greene and Wutts:  Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis,  3 rd  edition, John Wiley &amp; Sons (1999).  
         [0000]     Uses for the A 2a  Adenosine Antagonist Compounds  
         [0061]     Compounds of the invention are useful in the prevention and/or treatment of various neurological diseases and disorders whose causes or symptoms are mediated by the A 2a  adenosine receptor signaling pathways. Such diseases and disorders include Parkinson&#39;s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders, depression, anxiety, and cerebrovascular disorders such as migraine. In addition, compositions of the invention are useful for neuroprotection, i.e., to prevent or inhibit neuronal death or degeneration associated with conditions such as Alzheimer&#39;s disease, stroke (cerebral ischemia), and brain trauma.  
         [0000]     Administration of Compounds of the Invention  
         [0062]     Compounds of the invention can be administered to an animal, preferably a mammal, e.g., a human, non-human primate, dog, pig, sheep, goat, cat, mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, hamster, or marmoset. The compounds can be administered in any manner suitable for the administration of pharmaceutical compounds, including, but not limited to, pills, tablets, capsules, aerosols, suppositories, liquid formulations for ingestion or injection or for use as eye or ear drops, dietary supplements, and topical preparations. The compounds can be administered orally, intranasally, transdermally, intradermally, vaginally, intraaurally, intraocularly, buccally, rectally, transmucosally, or via inhalation, implantation (e.g., surgically), or intravenous administration.  
         [0000]     Pharmaceutical Compositions  
         [0063]     Compounds of the invention can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions for administration to animals, including humans. These pharmaceutical compositions preferably include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and an amount of A 2a  adenosine receptor antagonist effective to improve neurological functions such as motor functions and cognitive functions.  
         [0064]     Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers useful in these pharmaceutical compositions include, e.g., ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum stearate, lecithin, serum proteins, such as human serum albumin, buffer substances such as phosphates, glycine, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, partial glyceride mixtures of saturated vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes, such as protamine sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, zinc salts, colloidal silica, magnesium trisilicate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, cellulose-based substances, polyethylene glycol, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylates, waxes, polyethylene-polyoxypropylene-block polymers, polyethylene glycol and wool fat.  
         [0065]     The compositions of the present invention can be administered parenterally, orally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally or via an implanted reservoir. The term “parenteral” as used herein includes subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-articular, intra-synovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intrahepatic, intralesional and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. Preferably, the compositions are administered orally, intraperitoneally or intravenously.  
         [0066]     Sterile injectable forms of the compositions of this invention can be aqueous or oleaginous suspension. These suspensions may be formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation can also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer&#39;s solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or di-glycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically-acceptable oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions also can contain a long-chain alcohol diluent or dispersant, such as carboxymethyl cellulose or similar dispersing agents which are commonly used in the formulation of pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms including emulsions and suspensions. Other commonly used surfactants, such as Tweens, Spans and other emulsifying agents or bioavailability enhancers which are commonly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutically acceptable solid, liquid, or other dosage forms also can be used for the purposes of formulation.  
         [0067]     Parenteral formulations can be a single bolus dose, an infusion or a loading bolus dose followed with a maintenance dose. These compositions can be administered once a day or on an “as needed” basis.  
         [0068]     The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention be administered orally in any orally acceptable dosage form including, capsules, tablets, aqueous suspensions or solutions. In the case of tablets for oral use, carriers commonly used include lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are also typically added. For oral administration in a capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dried cornstarch. When aqueous suspensions are required for oral use, the active ingredient is combined with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening, flavoring or coloring agents can also be added.  
         [0069]     Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration. These can be prepared by mixing the agent with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at room temperature but liquid at rectal temperature and therefore will melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter, beeswax and polyethylene glycols.  
         [0070]     The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may also be administered topically. Topical application can be effected in a rectal suppository formulation (see above) or in a suitable enema formulation. Topically-transdermal patches may also be used.  
         [0071]     For topical applications, the pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated in a suitable ointment containing the active component suspended or dissolved in one or more carriers. Carriers for topical administration of the compounds of this invention include, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, propylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene compound, emulsifying wax and water. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated in a suitable lotion or cream containing the active components suspended or dissolved in one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Suitable carriers include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60, cetyl esters wax, cetearyl alcohol, 2-octyldodecanol, benzyl alcohol and water.  
         [0072]     For ophthalmic use, the pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated as micronized suspensions in isotonic, pH adjusted sterile saline, or, preferably, as solutions in isotonic, pH adjusted sterile saline, either with or without a preservative such as benzylalkonium chloride. Alternatively, for ophthalmic uses, the pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in an ointment such as petrolatum.  
         [0073]     The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention also can be administered by nasal aerosol or inhalation. Such compositions can be prepared according to techniques known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation, and can be prepared as solutions in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance bioavailability, fluorocarbons, and/or other conventional solubilizing or dispersing agents.  
         [0074]     The amount of A 2a  adenosine receptor antagonist that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. The compositions can be formulated so that a dosage of between 0.01-100 mg/kg body weight of the A 2a  adenosine receptor antagonist is administered to a patient receiving these compositions. In some embodiments of the invention, the dosage is 0.1-10 mg/kg body weight. The composition may be administered as a single dose, multiple doses or over an established period of time in an infusion.  
         [0075]     A specific dosage and treatment regimen for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the particular A 2a  adenosine receptor antagonist, the patient&#39;s age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet, and the time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the severity of the particular disease being treated. Judgment of such factors by medical caregivers is within ordinary skill in the art. The amount of antagonist will also depend on the individual patient to be treated, the route of administration, the type of formulation, the characteristics of the compound used, the severity of the disease, and the desired effect. The amounts of antagonist can be determined by pharmacological and pharmacokinetic principles well-known in the art.  
         [0076]     The invention will be further described in the following examples, which do not limit the scope of the invention described in the claims.

         [0110]     The A 2a  modulating activity of compounds of the present invention can be assessed by methods described in the following examples.  
       EXAMPLE 154  
       [0111]     Numerous compounds of the present invention were prepared (see working examples and table above) and tested. Specifically, the K i  values for rat and human A 1  adenosine receptors and for human A 2a  adenosine receptors were determined according to the following binding assay protocol. The ratio A 2a /A 1  was also calculated.  
         [0000]     Materials  
         [0112]     Adenosine deaminase and HEPES were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Mo.). Ham&#39;s F-12 cell culture medium and fetal bovine serum were purchased from GIBCO Life Technologies (Gaithersburg, Md.). Antibiotic G-418, Falcon 150 mM culture plates and Costar 12-well culture plates were purchased from Fisher (Pittsburgh, Pa.). [ 3 H]CPX was purchased from DuPont-New England Nuclear Research Products (Boston, Mass.). Penicillin/streptomycin antibiotic mixture was purchased from Mediatech (Washington, D.C.). The composition of HEPES-buffered Hank&#39;s solution was: 130 mM NaCl, 5.0 mM Cl, 1.5 mM CaCl 2 , 0.41 mM MgS0 4 , 0.49 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 0.44 mM KH 2 PO 4 , 5.6 mM dextrose, and 5 mM HEPES (pH 7.4).  
         [0000]     Membrane Preparation  
         [0113]     A 2a  Receptor: Membranes were prepared from rat brain tissues purchased from Pel-Freez (Brown Deer, Wis.). Tissues were homogenized in buffer A (10 mM EDTA, 10 mM Na-HEPES, pH 7.4) supplemented with protease inhibitors (10 μg/ml benzamidine, 100 μM PMSF, and 2 μg/ml each of aprotinin, pepstatin and leupeptin), and centrifuged at 20,000×g for 20 minutes. Pellets were resuspended and washed twice with buffer HE (10 mM Na-HEPES, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4, plus protease inhibitors). Final pellets were resuspended in buffer HE, supplemented with 10% (w/v) sucrose and protease inhibitors, and frozen in aliquots at −80° C. Protein concentrations were measured using BCA protein assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, Ill.).  
         [0114]     A 1  Receptor: Membranes were prepared from rat cerebral cortex isolated from freshly euthanized rats. Tissues were homogenized in buffer A (10 mM EDTA, 01 mM Na-HEPES, pH 7.4) supplemented with protease inhibitors (10 μg/ml benzamidine, 100 μM PMSF, and 2 μg/ml each of aprotinin, pepstatin and leupeptin), and centrifuged at 20,000×g for 20 minutes. Pellets were resuspended and washed twice with buffer HE (10 mM Na-HEPES, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4, plus protease inhibitors). Final pellets were resuspended in buffer HE, supplemented with 10% (w/v) sucrose and protease inhibitors, and frozen in aliquots at −80° C. Protein concentrations were measured using BCA protein assay kit (Pierce).  
         [0000]     Radioligand Binding Assays  
         [0115]     Membranes (40-70 μg membrane protein), radioligands and varying concentrations of test compounds of the present invention were incubated in triplicates in 0.1 ml buffer HE plus 2 units/ml adenosine deaminase for 2.5 hours at 21° C. Radioligand [ 3 H]DPCPX was used for competition binding assays on A 1  receptors and [ 3 H]ZM241385 was used for A 2a  adenosine receptors. Nonspecific binding was measured in the presence of 10 μM NECA for A 1  receptors, or 10 μM XAC for A 2a  receptors. Binding assays were terminated by filtration over Whatman GF/C glass fiber filters using a BRANDEL cell harvester. Filters were rinsed three times with 3-4 mL ice cold 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4 and 5 mM MgCl 2  at 4° C., and were counted in a Wallac β-counter.  
         [0000]     Analysis of Binding Data  
         [0116]     K i  determination: Competition binding data were fit to a single-site binding model and plotted using Prizm GraphPad. Cheng-Prusoff equation K i =IC 50 /(1+[I]/K d ) was used to calculate K i  values from IC 50  values, where K i  is the affinity constant for the competing test compound, [I] is the concentration of the free radioligand; and K d  is the affinity constant for the radioligand.  
         [0117]     A 2a  % binding: Data were generally expressed as percentage of total specific binding at 1 μM of competing test compound (% total specific binding)=100%×(specific binding with 1 μM of competing test compound/total specific binding).  
         [0000]     Results  
         [0118]     Compounds of formula (I) typically exhibited K i  values of less than 10 μM and A 2a  % binding ranging from 1% to 50%; some compounds exhibited K i  values of less than 1 μM.  
       EXAMPLE 155  
       [0000]     Catalepsy Experiments  
         [0119]     Haloperidol-induced catalepsy was used to mimic the effects of Parkinson&#39;s disease in rats and mice. Animals were injected with haloperidol, which causes immobility. A test compound of the present invention was then administered orally and the compound&#39;s ability to reverse these Parkinson&#39;s-like symptoms was analyzed. For reference, see Sanberg et al., Behavioral Neuroscience 102: 748-759 (1988).  
         [0000]     Rats  
         [0120]     Male Sprague-Dawley rats (225-275 g) were injected with haloperidol (1 mg/kg s.c.) to induce catalepsy. These rats were then subjected to the bar test. In this test, the rats&#39; forelimbs were placed on an aluminum bar (1 cm in diameter) suspended horizontally 10 cm above the surface of the bench. The elapsed time until the rat placed one forepaw back on the bench was measured, with a maximum time of 120 seconds allowed. It should be noted that these rats were in a cataleptic state and therefore were unable to correct an externally imposed posture (i.e., the cataleptic rats, when placed in this unnatural position, were unable to come down from the horizontal bar over a period of 120 seconds or more). Once the rats showed a stable baseline cataleptic response (about three hours after haloperidol injection), a test compound of the present invention or vehicle alone is administered orally, and catalepsy data from the bar test were measured every 30 minutes for the next 3 hours. Data were analyzed by one factor analysis of variance with Dunnett&#39;s ‘t’ test used to make post-hoc comparisons. Many compounds of this invention showed oral activity at a dosage of 10 mg/kg or lower, which allowed the cataleptic animals to come down from the bar within 60 seconds and remained in a catalepsy-free state for at least 60 minutes  
         [0000]     Mice  
         [0121]     Mice catalepsy experiment was conducted in the same manner as described above except mice (CD-1; 25-30 g) were used instead of rats, the dose of haloperidol was 3 mg/kg s.c. instead of 1 mg/kg s.c., and the bar was suspended 4.5 cm instead of 10 cm above the surface of the bench. Many compounds of this invention showed oral activity at a dosage of 10 mg/kg or lower, which allowed the cataleptic animals to come down from the bar within 60 seconds and remained in a catalepsy-free state for at least 60 minutes.
