Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to quaternary piperidine compounds, particularly (S)-N-(2-(3 -(4-chlorophenyl)piperidin-3 -yl)ethyl)- 1, 1,1 -trifluoro-2- methylpropan-2 -amine and salts thereof.
  • This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such a compound, uses of such a compound (including, for example, treatment methods and medicament preparations), and processes for making such a compound.
  • the brain contains neurons that communicate with each other through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
  • Neurotransmitters are produced by neurons.
  • the cellular membrane of a neuron contains receptors with which the neurotransmitters may interact.
  • Serotonin (SERT), dopamine (DAT), and norepinephrine (NET) neurotransmitters belong to a group of neurotransmitters called the monoamine neurotransmitters.
  • Monoamine neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft between neurons and act by stimulating postsynaptic receptors. Monoamine neurotransmitters are removed (or inactivated) primarily by reuptake into presynaptic terminals. In various diseases and/or conditions where neurotransmitters are out of balance, reuptake of a particular neurotransmitter can be inhibited to improve a patient's condition and/or the disease from which the patient suffers.
  • SSRIs serotonin reuptake inhibitors
  • SNRIs norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors
  • SSRIs and SNRIs are generally no more efficacious than monoamine oxidase inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants, although they do pose less serious side effect risks. Nevertheless, tricyclic antidepressants continue to be used to treat depression.
  • Nomifensine marketed in late 1970's by Hoescht, was an effective motivating and anxiolytic drug reported to be a selective NET:DAT reuptake inhibitor.
  • the unique NET:DAT reuptake inhibitor profile of nomifensine was thought to confer a unique therapeutic benefit to melancholic depressive patients.
  • Nomifensine was, however, withdrawn from the market in 1980 in the wake of nomifensine-associated immune reactions appearing in the literature, several cases of autoimmune haemo lytic anaemia, and some deaths.
  • the prevailing theory suggests a reactive metabolite of nomifensine forms a complex with proteins on red blood cells (RBC) to initiate an auto-immune complex.

Description

QUATERNARY PIPERIDINE COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOF
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] This invention generally relates to quaternary piperidine compounds, particularly (S)-N-(2-(3 -(4-chlorophenyl)piperidin-3 -yl)ethyl)- 1, 1,1 -trifluoro-2- methylpropan-2 -amine and salts thereof. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such a compound, uses of such a compound (including, for example, treatment methods and medicament preparations), and processes for making such a compound.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The brain contains neurons that communicate with each other through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are produced by neurons. The cellular membrane of a neuron contains receptors with which the neurotransmitters may interact. Serotonin (SERT), dopamine (DAT), and norepinephrine (NET) neurotransmitters belong to a group of neurotransmitters called the monoamine neurotransmitters.
[0003] Monoamine neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft between neurons and act by stimulating postsynaptic receptors. Monoamine neurotransmitters are removed (or inactivated) primarily by reuptake into presynaptic terminals. In various diseases and/or conditions where neurotransmitters are out of balance, reuptake of a particular neurotransmitter can be inhibited to improve a patient's condition and/or the disease from which the patient suffers.
[0004] Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and dual serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are used in treating depression. Patients, however, often complain of side effects, such as, for example, weight gain and sexual dysfunction. Additionally, not all patients have a positive therapeutic response to SSRIs and/or SNRIs. In fact, SSRIs and SNRIs are generally no more efficacious than monoamine oxidase inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants, although they do pose less serious side effect risks. Nevertheless, tricyclic antidepressants continue to be used to treat depression.
[0005] Nomifensine, marketed in late 1970's by Hoescht, was an effective motivating and anxiolytic drug reported to be a selective NET:DAT reuptake inhibitor. The unique NET:DAT reuptake inhibitor profile of nomifensine was thought to confer a unique therapeutic benefit to melancholic depressive patients. Nomifensine was, however, withdrawn from the market in 1980 in the wake of nomifensine-associated immune reactions appearing in the literature, several cases of autoimmune haemo lytic anaemia, and some deaths. The prevailing theory suggests a reactive metabolite of nomifensine forms a complex with proteins on red blood cells (RBC) to initiate an auto-immune complex.
[0006] As the SSRIs and SNRIs are not effective in treating at least some patients suffering from depression, new treatments continue to be needed. Such treatments are particularly desirable to treat underserved subpopulations, such as, for example, patients suffering from atypical depression. As the unique NET:DAT reuptake inhibitor profile of nomifensine appeared to confer a unique therapeutic benefit to melancholic depressive patients, efforts have been undertaken to develop dual NET and DAT reuptake inhibitors that do not have the undesirable side effect profile that led to nomifensine's withdrawal.

[0029] As noted above, this invention is directed, in part, to the compound of
Formula (I) or a salt thereof. Formula (I) corresponds to:
Figure imgf000006_0001
[0030] Salts of the compound of Formula (I) are typically acid addition salts. In general, an acid addition salt can be prepared using various inorganic or organic acids. Such salts can typically be formed by, for example, mixing the compound with an acid (e.g., a stoichiometric amount of acid) using various methods known in the art. This mixing may occur in water, an organic solvent (e.g., ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile), or an aqueous/organic mixture.
[0031] A salt may be advantageous due to one or more of its chemical or physical properties, such as stability in differing temperatures and humidities, or a desirable solubility in water, oil, or other solvent. In some instances, a salt may be used to aid in the isolation or purification of the compound. In some embodiments (particularly where the salt is intended for administration to an animal, or is a reagent for use in making a compound or salt intended for administration to an animal), the salt is pharmaceutically acceptable.
[0032] Examples of inorganic acids that typically may be used to form acid addition salts include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, nitric, carbonic, sulfuric, and phosphoric acid. Examples of organic acids include, for example, aliphatic,
cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic, heterocyclic, carboxylic, and sulfonic classes of organic acids.

[0033] It is contemplated that an amine of the compound of Formula I or a salt thereof may form an N-oxide. Such an N-oxide is intended to be encompassed by the compound of Formula I and salts thereof. An N-oxide can generally be formed by treating an amine with an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide or a per-acid (e.g., a peroxycarboxylic acid). See, e.g., Advanced Organic Chemistry, by Jerry March, 4th Edition, Wiley Interscience. N-oxides also can be made by reacting the amine with m- chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA), for example, in an inert solvent, such as dichloromethane. See L. W. Deady, Syn. Comm., 7, pp. 509-514 (1977).
[0034] It is contemplated that the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof could form isolatable atropisomers in certain solvents at certain temperatures. The compound of Formula (I) and salts thereof are intended to encompass any such atropisomers.
Atropisomers can generally be isolated using chiral LC.
[0035] The compound of Formula (I) and salts thereof are intended to encompass any isotopically-labeled (or "radio-labeled") derivatives of the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof. Such a derivative is a derivative of the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof wherein one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number typically found in nature. Examples of radionuclides that may be incorporated include 2H (also written as "D" for deuterium), 3H (also written as "T" for tritium), nC, 13C, 14C, 13N, 15N, 18F, and 36C1. The radionuclide that is used will depend on the specific application of that radio-labeled derivative. For example, for in vitro receptor labeling and competition assays, 3H or 14C are often useful. For radio-imaging applications, nC or 18F are often useful. In some embodiments, the radionuclide is 3H. In some embodiments, the radionuclide is 14C. In some embodiments, the radionuclide is nC. And in some embodiments, the radionuclide is F.
[0036] The compound of Formula (I) and salts thereof are intended to cover all solid state forms of the compound and salts. The compound of Formula (I) and salts thereof also are intended to encompass all solvated (e.g. , hydrated) and unsolvated forms of the compound and salts. [0037] The compound of Formula (I) and salts thereof also are intended to encompass coupling partners in which the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof is linked to a coupling partner by, for example, being chemically coupled to the compound or salt or physically associated with it. Examples of coupling partners include a label or reporter molecule, a supporting substrate, a carrier or transport molecule, an effector, a drug, an antibody, or an inhibitor. Coupling partners can be covalently linked to a compound or salt via an appropriate functional group on the compound, such as an amino group. Other derivatives include formulating the compound or salt with liposomes.
[0038] This invention provides, in part, for methods to treat various disorders in animals, particularly mammals. Mammals include, for example, humans. Mammals also include, for example, companion animals (e.g., dogs, cats, and horses), livestock animals (e.g., cattle and swine); lab animals (e.g., mice and rats); and wild, zoo, and circus animals (e.g., bears, lions, tigers, apes, and monkeys). It is contemplated that the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof may generally be used to treat a range of disorders in which modulating the norepinephrine transport receptor and/or dopamine transport receptor is beneficial. Accordingly, this invention is directed, in part, to a method of using the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof for treating a norepinephrine transport receptor and/or dopamine transport receptor associated condition therewith.
[0039] In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof is used to modulate at least one norepinephrine transport receptor and/or dopamine transport receptor. The terms "modulate", "modulates", "modulating", or "modulation", as used in this patent, mean the activation (i.e., act as an agonist) or inhibition (i.e., act as antagonist) of the norepinephrine transport receptor and/or dopamine transport receptor. In some embodiments, the terms "modulate", "modulates", "modulating", or "modulation" mean the inhibition of at least one norepinephrine transport receptor and/or dopamine transport receptor.
[0040] In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof is administered to an animal in which the modulation of at least one norepinephrine transport receptor and/or dopamine transport receptor in the animal is beneficial to the animal for treating a disorder. The compound or salt is normally administered to the animal in the form of a pharmaceutical composition that also comprises at least one carrier, diluent, or excipient.

[0043] In some embodiments of this invention, the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof is used to treat a major depressive disorder. In some such embodiments, the compound or salt is administered (generally a therapeutically effective amount) to an animal to treat a major depressive disorder in the animal. In some embodiments, the disorder comprises melancholy depression. In other embodiments, the disorder comprises atypical depression.
[0044] In some embodiments of this invention, the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof is used to treat an attention-deficit or disruptive behavior disorder. In some such embodiments, the compound or salt is administered (generally a therapeutically effective amount) to an animal to treat an attention-deficit or disruptive behavior disorder in the animal. In some embodiments, the disorder comprises ADHD.
[0045] In some embodiments of this invention, the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof is used to treat a cocaine-related disorder. In some such embodiments, the compound or salt is administered (generally a therapeutically effective amount) to an animal to treat a cocaine-related disorder in the animal. In some such embodiments, the disorder comprises cocaine abuse.
[0046] In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof is used to make a medicament (i.e., a pharmaceutical composition). In general, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of the compound or salt. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof can vary widely. Although it is contemplated that the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof could be administered by itself (i.e., without any other active or inactive ingredient), the pharmaceutical composition normally will instead comprise one or more additional active ingredients and/or inert ingredients. The inert ingredients present in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention are sometimes collectively referred to as "carriers, diluents, and excipients." Methods for making pharmaceutical compositions and the use of carriers, diluents, and excipients are well known in the art. See, e.g., for example, Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, PA, 15th Edition, 1975.
[0047] In some embodiments of this invention, the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof (generally a therapeutically effective amount) is used to make a medicament for treating a major depressive disorder. In some such embodiments, the disorder comprises melancholy depression. In other embodiments, the disorder comprises atypical depression.
[0048] In some embodiments of this invention, the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof (generally a therapeutically effective amount) is used to make a medicament for treating a cocaine-related disorder. In some such embodiments, the disorder comprises cocaine abuse.
[0049] In some embodiments of this invention, the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof (generally a therapeutically effective amount) is used to make a medicament for treating an attention-deficit or disruptive behavior disorder. In some such
embodiments, the disorder comprises ADHD. [0050] It is contemplated that compositions comprising the compound of Formula
(I) or a salt thereof may be formulated for a variety of suitable routes and means of administration, including oral, rectal, nasal, topical, buccal, sublingual, vaginal, inhalation, insufflation, or parenteral administration. In some embodiments, the compound or salt is administered orally. In some embodiments, the compound or salt is administered intravenously. In some embodiments, the compound or salt is administered
intramuscularly. In some embodiments, the compound or salt is administered
subcutaneously. And, in some embodiments, the compound or salt is administered intraperitoneally, intrathoracially, epidurally, intrathecally, intracerebroventricularly, and injection into the joints.
[0051] It is contemplated that pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may, for example, be in the form of solids, aqueous or oily solutions, suspensions, emulsions, creams, ointments, mists, gels, nasal sprays, suppositories, finely divided powders, and aerosols or nebulisers for inhalation. In some embodiments, the composition comprises a solid or liquid dosage form that may be administered orally.
[0052] Solid form compositions may include, for example, powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories. A solid carrier may comprise one or more substances. Such substances are generally inert. A carrier also may act as, for example, a diluent, flavoring agent, solubilizer, lubricant, preservative, stabilizer, suspending agent, binder, or disintegrating agent. It also may act as, for example, an encapsulating material. Examples of often suitable carriers include pharmaceutical grade mannitol, lactose, magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, lactose, sugar (e.g., glucose and sucrose), pectin, dextrin, starch, tragacanth, cellulose, cellulose derivatives (e.g., methyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), sodium saccharin, low-melting wax, and cocoa butter.
[0053] In powders, the carrier is typically a finely divided solid, which is in a mixture with the finely divided active component. In tablets, the active component is typically mixed with the carrier having the desirable binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted into the desired shape and size.
[0054] For preparing suppository compositions, a low-melting wax (e.g., a mixture of fatty acid glycerides and cocoa butter) is typically first melted, followed by dispersing the active ingredient therein by, for example, stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient-sized molds and allowed to cool and solidify. Examples of non- irritating excipients that may be present in suppository compositions include, for example, cocoa butter, glycerinated gelatin, hydrogenated vegetable oils, mixtures of polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights, and fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol.
[0055] Liquid compositions can be prepared by, for example, dissolving or dispersing the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof in a carrier, such as, for example, water, water/propylene glycol solutions, saline aqueous dextrose, glycerol, or ethanol. In some embodiments, aqueous solutions for oral administration can be prepared by dissolving the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof in water with a solubilizer (e.g., a polyethylene glycol). Colorants, flavoring agents, stabilizers, and thickening agents, for example, also may be added. In some embodiments, aqueous suspensions for oral use can be made by dispersing the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof in a finely divided form in water, together with a viscous material, such as, for example, one or more natural synthetic gums, resins, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, or other suspending agents. If desired, the liquid composition also may contain other non-toxic auxiliary inert ingredients, such as, for example, wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents and the like, for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate, etc. Such compositions also may contain other ingredients, such as, for example, one or more pharmaceutical adjuvants.
[0056] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about 0.05% to about 99% (by weight) of the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof. In some such embodiments, for example, the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about 0.10% to about 50% (by weight) of the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof.
[0057] When the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof is administered as a sole therapy for treating a disorder, a "therapeutically effective amount" is an amount sufficient to reduce or completely alleviate symptoms or other detrimental effects of the disorder; cure the disorder; reverse, completely stop, or slow the progress of the disorder; reduce the risk of the disorder getting worse; or delay or reduce the risk of onset of the disorder.
[0058] The optimum dosage and frequency of administration will depend on the particular condition being treated and its severity; the species of the patient; the age, sex, size and weight, diet, and general physical condition of the particular patient; brain/body weight ratio; other medication the patient may be taking; the route of administration; the formulation; and various other factors known to physicians (in the context of human patients), veterinarians (in the context of non-human patients), and others skilled in the art.
[0059] It is contemplated that, in some embodiments, the optimum amount of the compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof is from about 0.05 to about 300 mg/kg body weight per day. In other embodiments, the optimum amount is less than about 200 mg/kg body weight per day. In other embodiments, the optimum amount is from about 1 to about 1000 mg/kg body weight per day, or from about 1 to about 100 mg/kg body weight per day (e.g., about 15 mg/kg body weight per day).
[0060] It is contemplated that the pharmaceutical compositions can be in one or more unit dosage forms. Accordingly, the composition may be divided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be, for example, a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged forms. The unit dosage form alternatively can be a packaged preparation in which the package contains discrete quantities of the composition, such as, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, or powders in vials or ampoules. Unit dosage forms may be prepared by, for example, various methods well known in the art of pharmacy.
[0061] It is contemplated that a dosage can be given once daily or in divided doses, such as, for example, from 2 to 4 times per day. In some embodiments, the dose is conventionally formulated in an oral dosage form by compounding from about 5 to about 250 mg per unit of dosage with, for example, one or more inert or active ingredients using accepted pharmaceutical practices.

Example 4. Biological Evaluation
[0095] The compound of Formula (I) was tested with the in vitro assay described below to determine its activity toward norepinephrine transport receptors and dopamine transport receptors. More specifically, the compound was tested in the assay to determine whether it is an effective norepinephrine transport receptor and/or dopamine transport receptor ligand. In the in vitro assay, a compound can be tested for its activity toward norepinephrine transport receptors and dopamine transport receptors, and Ki values can be obtained to determine the activity for a particular compound toward both receptors. While the in vitro activity of a compound may be related to in vivo activity, it may not be linearly correlated with binding affinity.
[0096] In the assay, the compound of Formula (I) was evaluated in an eleven point
IC50 curve for ability to inhibit uptake of a fluorescent substrate (dye) that mimics biogenic amine neurotransmitters. A stable population of HEK293F cells transfected with the human transporter (NET: norepinephrine, DAT: dopamine) were cryopreserved, then plated and used on the day of the assay. Cells were at 60K/well. Final dye concentration was 7% (NET) or 50% (DAT) of the vendor-recommended reconstitution concentration (100%). The compound of Formula (I) was diluted 1 :20 in buffer and incubated with the cells for 30 min before adding dye. In this fluorescence intensity assay, plates were read after a 20 min (NET or DAT) dye incubation to determine percent effect with respect to total signal (0.5% DMSO, final) and background signal (NET: 10μΜ desipramine, DAT: 10μΜ GBR12909). The IC50, half of the control response, was converted to Ki using the standard Cheng-Prusoff equation. Set forth in Table 1 below are Ki values for the compound of Formula I (Example 3) that were generated in accordance with the above assay.
