Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This is a 371 of PCT/US93/03389filed Apr. 14, 1993. 
     The present invention relates to novel substituted benzothiazepines and benzoxazepines, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and the use of such compounds in the treatment and prevention of central nervous system and gastrointestinal disorders. The pharmaceutically active compounds of this invention are cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor antagonists. 
     Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a 33-amino acid peptide originally discovered and characterized in 1971. (See Mutt et al., Biochem. J., 125, 57 (1971 )). It carries out its biological responses by binding to its two receptor types: CCK-A and CCK-B. The CCK-A receptor is located primarily in the gallbladder and pancreas, and mediates CCK-induced enzyme secretion and gallbladder contraction during a meal. The CCK-B receptor is located in the stomach, where it is involved in acid secretion, and in the brain, where it mediates pain and anxiety responses. 
     A number of potent and selective non-peptide antagonists for these two receptors are known (See M. G. Bock, Drugs of the Future, 16(7), 631-640 (1991) and R. M. Freidinger, Med. Res. Rev., 9, 271-290 (1989)). Merck&#39;s L-364,718 (devazepide) is a selective CCK-A antagonist. (See O&#39;Neill et al., Brain Res., 534, 287-290 (1990)). Merck&#39;s benzodiazepine L-365,260 is a selective CCK-B antagonist that was found to have an analgesic effect on squirrel monkeys. (See O&#39;Neill et al., Brain Res., 534, 287-290 (1990)). Parke-Davis&#39; CI-988 is a selective CCK-B antagonist that was found to reverse the pentagastrin-induced anxiogenic response in rats. (See Singh et al., Proc. Nat&#39;l. Acad. Sci., U.S., 88, 1130-33 (1991 )). U.S. patent application 825,677, filed Jan. 27, 1992, refers to substituted hexahydroazepinones and tetrahydrobenzazepinones that are selective CCK-B receptor antagonists.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The compounds of the formulae I and II may be prepared as described in the following reaction schemes and discussion. Unless otherwise indicated, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , and X in the reaction schemes and discussion that follow are defined as above. ##STR10## 
     Scheme 1 illustrates the preparation of the pharmaceutically active compounds of the formula I and the intermediate compounds of the formulae XIX and XX from starting materials of the formula VII. The method illustrated in scheme 1 preserves the stereochemical configuration of the carbon adjacent to the oxo substituent in compounds of the formula VII, and therefore can be used to prepare any racemic compound or stereoisomer of the formula I from the appropriate starting material having the same configuration. 
     Referring to scheme 1, compounds of the formula I may be prepared by adding the R 2  containing sidechain to the starting material and then adding the R 1  substituent, or, alternatively, performing the two foregoing steps in the opposite order. If the R 2  containing sidechain is added first, the compounds are prepared in the following manner. 
     A compound of the formula VII is reacted with an isocyanate of the formula R 2  NCO. This reaction is generally carried out at a temperature from about -78° C. to about 50° C., preferably at about 0° C., in an aprotic solvent such as methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, chloroform or ether, preferably in methylene chloride. It yields a compound of the formula XIX. The compound of formula XIX is then reacted with a compound having the formula R 1  I in the presence of a strong base to produce the desired compound of formula I wherein X is either oxygen or sulfur. This reaction is typically conducted at a temperature from about -78° C. to about 0° C., preferably at about -78° C., in an anhydrous, aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF), tetrahydrofuran (THF), ether or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), preferably in THF. Preferably, the reactant of formula R 1  I is added to the reaction mixture at about -78 ° C., after which the mixture is warmed to room temperature and stirred for about two hours. Suitable strong bases include sodium hydride, potassium hydride, lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and lithium diisopropylamide. Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide is preferred. 
     As indicated above, the two foregoing reaction steps may be performed in the opposite order. This reverse reaction sequence is depicted in scheme 1 as sequence VII→XX→I. 
     Compounds of the formula I wherein X is sulfur may be converted into the corresponding compounds of the formula I wherein X is sulfoxide by reacting them with sodium periodate or metachloroperbenzoic acid. When sodium periodate is used, the reaction is generally carried out in a water/alcohol solvent, and when metachloroperbenzoic acid is used, the reaction is generally carried out in methylene chloride or peracetic acid. The reaction temperature may range from about room temperature to about 100° C. Preferably, the reactant is added and the reaction mixture is heated to about 60° C. for about five hours. 
     Compounds of the formula I wherein X is sulfur may be converted into the corresponding compounds of the formula I wherein X is sulfone by reacting them with hydrogen peroxide. This reaction is usually carried out in an appropriate solvent at a temperature from about -50° C. to about 100° C. Preferably, 30 percent aqueous hydrogen peroxide is added to acetic acid so that the reaction mixture contains 1 equivalent of hydrogen peroxide per equivalent of the formula I compound, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for about 3 days. Other appropriate solvents include methanesulfonic acid and formic acid. 
     Scheme 2 illustrates a method of preparing racemic mixtures of the starting materials of the formula VII. This method is exemplified in Example 1 of this application for compounds of the formula VII wherein X is sulfur. Compounds of the formula VII wherein X is oxygen may be prepared in an analogous fashion, by replacing the reactant of the formula ##STR11## wherein X is sulfur, which is depicted in scheme 2 and referred to in Example 1B, sulfur with the corresponding reactant wherein X is oxygen. 
     Scheme 3 illustrates a method of synthesizing the &#34;R&#34; and &#34;S&#34; enantiomers of the starting materials of the formula VII wherein X is sulfur. These compounds are designated in scheme 3 as having the formula VII-A. (The chiral center of such compounds is designated with an asterisk in structure VII-A. Asterisks are also used to designate the same chiral carbon in the synthetic intermediates from which compounds of the formula VII-A are made.) Example 2 of this application describes the preparation of the &#34;S&#34; enantiomer by the method shown in scheme 3. The &#34;R&#34; enantiomer may be prepared in an analogous fashion by replacing the &#34;S&#34; enantiomer of the compound of formula IX depicted in scheme 3 and referred to in Example 3A (i.e., D-cysteine) with the corresponding &#34;R&#34; enantiomer (i.e., L-cysteine). 
     Scheme 4 illustrates a method of preparing the &#34;R&#34; and &#34;S&#34; enantiomers of compounds of the formula VII wherein X is oxygen. These compounds are referred to in scheme 4 as having the formula VII-B. (The chiral center of such compounds is designated with an asterisk in structure VII-B. Asterisks are also used to designate the same chiral carbon in the synthetic intermediates from which compounds of the formula VII-B are made.) Example 105 of this application describes the preparation of the &#34;R&#34; enantiomer by the method shown in scheme 4. The &#34;S&#34; enantiomer may be prepared in an analogous fashion, by replacing the &#34;R&#34; enantiomer of the compound of formula XV depicted in scheme 4 and referred to in Example 105A (i.e., N-t-butoxycarbonyl-D-serine) with the corresponding &#34;S&#34; enantiomer (i,e., N-t-butoxycarbonyl-L-serine). Racemic mixtures of compounds of the formula VII may be prepared in an analogous fashion according to the procedure of scheme 4, using the racemate of the starting material of formula XV. 
     When R 7  and R 8  are both hydrogen, the compound of formula XV employed is the N-t-butoxycarbonyl derivative (&#34;the BOC derivative&#34;) of D-serine, L-serine or a racemic mixture of these amino acids. Other variations of R 7  and R s  may be obtained using the BOC derivatives of D- and L-threonine, D- and L-allothreonine, and D- and L-2-amino-3-methyl-3-hydroxybutyric acid and the respective racemates of these compounds. D- and L-threonine and D- and L-serine are commercially available. D-allothreonine and L-allothreonine may be prepared as described by Pons et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 31, 5023 (1990). D- and L-2-amino-3-methyl-3-hydroxybutyric acid may be prepared as described by Belakon et al., J.A.C.S., 107, 4252 (1985). The BOC derivatives of all of the above amino acids may be prepared as described by Keller et al., Organic Synthesis, 63, 160 (1984). All of the foregoing references are incorporated herein in their entirety. 
     The preparation of other compounds of the formulae I, XIX and XX not specifically described in the foregoing experimental section can be accomplished using combinations of the reactions described above that will be apparent to those skilled in the art. 
     In each of the reactions discussed or illustrated in schemes 1 to 3 above, pressure is not critical unless otherwise indicated. Pressures from about 0.5 atmospheres to about 5 atmospheres are generally acceptable, and ambient pressure, i.e., about 1 atmosphere, is preferred as a matter of convenience. 
     The compounds of the formula I (the active compounds of this invention) which are basic in nature are capable of forming a wide variety of different salts with various inorganic and organic acids. Although such salts must be pharmaceutically acceptable for administration to animals, it is often desirable in practice to initially isolate a compound of the formula I from the reaction mixture as a pharmaceutically unacceptable salt and then simply convert the latter back to the free base compound by treatment with an alkaline reagent and subsequently convert the latter free base to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt. The acid addition salts of the active base compounds of this invention are readily prepared by treating the base compound with a substantially equivalent amount of the chosen mineral or organic acid in an aqueous solvent medium or in a suitable organic solvent, such as methanol or ethanol. Upon careful evaporation of the solvent, the desired solid salt is readily obtained. 
     The active compounds of this invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful as CCK receptor antagonists, i.e., they possess the ability to antagonize the effects of CCK at its receptor site in mammals, and therefore they are able to function as therapeutic agents in the treatment of the aforementioned disorders and diseases in an afflicted mammal. 
     The active compounds of this invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be administered via either the oral, parenteral or topical routes. In general, these compounds are most desirably administered in dosages ranging from about 5.0 mg up to about 1500 mg per day, although variations will necessarily occur depending upon the weight and condition of the subject being treated and the particular route of administration chosen. However, a dosage level that is in the range of about 0.07 mg to about 21 mg per kg of body weight per day is most desirably employed. Variations may nevertheless occur depending upon the species of animal being treated and its individual response to said medicament, as well as on the type of pharmaceutical formulation chosen and the time period and interval at which such administration is carried out. In some instances, dosage levels below the lower limit of the aforesaid range may be more than adequate, while in other cases still larger doses may be employed without causing any harmful side effect, provided that such larger doses are first divided into several small doses for administration throughout the day. 
     The active compounds of the invention may be administered alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or diluents by either of the three routes previously indicated, and such administration may be carried out in single or multiple doses. More particularly, the novel therapeutic agents of this invention can be administered in a wide variety of different dosage forms, i.e., they may be combined with various pharmaceutically acceptable inert carriers in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges, troches, hard candies, powders, sprays, creams, salves, suppositories, jellies, gels, pastes, lotions, ointments, aqueous suspensions, injectable solutions, elixirs, syrups, and the like. Such carriers include solid diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous media and various non-toxic organic solvents, etc. Moreover, oral pharmaceutical compositions can be suitably sweetened and/or flavored. In general, the therapeutically-effective compounds of this invention are present in such dosage forms at concentration levels ranging from about 5.0% to about 70% by weight. 
     For oral administration, tablets containing various excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate and glycine may be employed along with various disintegrants such as starch (and preferably corn, potato or tapioca starch), alginic acid and certain complex silicates, together with granulation binders like polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often very useful for tabletting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in gelatin capsules; preferred materials in this connection also include lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs are desired for oral administration, the active ingredient may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matter or dyes, and, if so desired, emulsifying and/or suspending agents as well, together with such diluents as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin and various like combinations thereof. 
     For parenteral administration, solutions of an active compound of the present invention in either sesame or peanut oil or in aqueous propylene glycol may be employed. The aqueous solutions should be suitably buffered (preferably pH greater than 8) if necessary and the liquid diluent first rendered isotonic. These aqueous solutions are suitable for intravenous injection purposes. The oily solutions are suitable for intraarticular, intramuscular and subcutaneous injection purposes. The preparation of all these solutions under sterile conditions is readily accomplished by standard pharmaceutical techniques well known to those skilled in the art. 
     Additionally, it is also possible to administer the active compounds of the present invention topically when treating inflammatory conditions of the skin and this may preferably be done by way of creams, jellies, gels, pastes, ointments and the like, in accordance with standard pharmaceutical practice. 
     The activity of the compounds of the present invention as CCK antagonists may be determined by an assay that measures their ability to inhibit the binding of 125-I-BH-CCK-8 to the CCK-B receptor in a guinea pig cortical membrane preparation. This procedure is carried out as follows. The cortex is dissected from one male Hartley Guinea pig and homogenized (15 strokes) with a teflon homogenizer in 20 volumes (w./v.) of the assay buffer, which consists of 50 mM Tris (i.e., trimethamine, which is 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol) hydrochloric acid having pH 7.4 and 5 mM of manganese chloride at 4° C. The homogenate is centrifuged at 4° C. for 30 minutes at 100,000×G. The pellet is resuspended in the same buffer and spun as described above. The final pellet is diluted to a concentration of 20 mg/ml with the assay buffer for use in the binding assay. The tissue is kept on ice at all times. 
     An incubation mixture is prepared, which consists of 50 uL of the tissue preparation, prepared as described above, 100 uL 125-I-BH-CCK-8 (to give a concentration of 50 pM in the final assay), 20 uL of a blank or the compound being tested, and 30 uL of Tris with 4% DMSO. All drugs and dilutions are made using 4% DMSO in the assay buffer yielding a final assay DMSO concentration of 1%. 
     The reaction is initiated with the addition of tissue to a 96-well plate containing 125-I-BH-CCK-8 and the appropriate blank or compound being tested. Non-specific binding is estimated using 1 uM sulphated CCK-8. The reaction is terminated by spinning the plates in a H1000B rotor fitted on a Sorvall RT6000 refrigerated centrifuge at 4° C. The supernatant is discarded, and the pellets washed with 200 uL of assay buffer, and the plate is spun as above. The supernatant is decanted again, and the pellet is harvested onto Betaplate filters (which have been soaked in 0.2% polyethyleneimine for a minimum of 2 hours) using a Skatron cell harvester at setting 222 using Tris HCI pH 7.4 as the wash buffer. The filtermats are counted on a Betaplate counter for 45 seconds per sample. 
     Data are expressed as IC 50  values (the concentration which inhibits 50% of the specific binding of 125-I-BH-CCK-8). The data is analyzed using non-linear regression analysis.
