TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] U.S. patent No. 4,452,808 discloses 4-aminoalkyl-indol-2-one derivatives having a selective D₂ receptor activity. These compounds can be used for the treatment of hypertension. One of the compounds provided by this patent, namely 4-[2-(di-N-propylamino)ethyl]-2(3H)-indolone, is used in the clinical treatment.

[0005] European patent No. 281,309 provides indol-2-one derivatives carrying an arylpiperazinyl-alkyl substituent in position 5, which can be applied for the treatment of psychotic conditions. One of the compounds described in this patent, namely 5-[2-[4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl]-ethyl]-6-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one, exerts its activity by interaction with D₂, 5-HT_1A and 5-HT₂ receptors and is used in the clinical treatment.

[0006] European patent No. 376,607 discloses indol-2-one derivatives substituted in position 3 by an alkylpiperazinyl-aryl group, which exert their activity on 5-HT_1A receptors and are useful for the treatment of central nervous disorders.

[0007] In the international patent application WO 98/008816 indol-2-one derivatives containing a substituted alkylpiperazinyl, substituted alkyl-piperidinyl or alkyl-cyclohexyl group in position 3 are disclosed. These compounds exert anti-psychotic activity.

[0008] The acceleration of technical-social development in the XX. century constitutes a permanent compulsion of adaptation for humans, which, in adverse cases, my lead to the occurrence of adaptation disorders. Adaptation disorders constitute an important risk factor in the development of diseases of mental or psychosomatic origin, such as anxiolytic syndrome, stress disorder, depression, schizophrenia, disorders of the sense organs, gastrointestinal diseases, cardiovascular diseases or renal disorders.

[0009] For the treatment of the above clinical patterns most widespreadly pharmaceuticals exerting their activity on the benzodiazepine system (e.g. diazepam) or on central 5-HT_1A receptors (e.g. buspiron, ziprasidon) have been applied.

[0010] The pharmaceuticals acting on 5-HT_1A receptors that have been so far applied in the therapy are accompanied, however, by several drawbacks and undesired side-effects. It is a drawback that the anxiolytic effect can be achieved only after a treatment lasting for at least 10 - 14 days. Besides, after the initial administration an anxiogenic effect occurs. As to the side-effects, the occurrence of sleepiness, somnolence, vertigo, hallucination, headache, cognitive disturbances or nausea has often been observed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0011] The object of the present invention is to develop pharmaceutical ingredients which are devoid of the above-specified drawbacks and undesired side-effects characteristic of the active agents binding to 5-HT_1A receptors and which, at the same time, can be used for the treatment of disorders of the central nervous system.

[0012] The invention is based on the recognition that the 3,3-dialkyl-substituted indol-2-one derivatives of the general Formula (I) possess a significant anxiolytic effect, but surprisingly - in contrast to the prior art compounds of similar structure - do not bind to 5-HT_1A receptors. As a consequence, the compounds according to the invention are devoid of the side-effects characteristic of the compounds binding to the said receptor.

Prep. Proc. Int. 1993, 25, 481-513; B. Volk, T. Mezei, Gy. Simig Synthesis 2002, 595-597].

[0027] The compounds of the general Formula (I) can also be prepared according to process variant (c) by reacting a compound of the general Formula (IV) - wherein R¹-R⁴ are as stated above - with a compound of the general Formula (VI) - wherein R⁵, R⁶ and m are as stated above and L is a leaving group - according to methods known from the literature [R.

Wilkerson, A. A. Kergaye, S. W. Tam J. Med. Chem. 1993, 36, 2899-2907].

[0028] During the preparation of the compounds of the general Formula (I) the formation of the substituents R¹-R⁶ can also be carried out in different successions in the last reaction step. In this case as starting material a compound of the general Formula (I) containing hydrogen in the place of the substituent to be formed. The introduction and conversion of the substituents are carried out according to methods known from the literature [Houben-Weyl: Methoden der organischen Chemie, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1977, 4th Edition, IV/1a-d; vol. V/2b]. During the introduction of the substituents application or elimination of protecting groups may become necessary. Such methods are specified in T. W. Greene, Protective groups in organic synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 1981.

R. Katritzky, Ch. W. Rees: Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, 1th Edition, Pergamon, Oxford, 1984, vol. 4 (ed.: C. W. Bird, G. W. H. Cheeseman), 98-150 and 339-366; C. Gautier, M. Aletru, Ph. Bovy WO 99/62900; B. Volk, T. Mezei, Gy. Simig Synthesis 2002, 595-597; G. M. Karp Org. Prep. Proc. Int. 1993, 25, 481-513; A. S. Kende, J. C. Hodges Synth. Commun. 1982, 12, 1-10].

[0030] The compounds of the general Formula (I) prepared by the methods according to the invention can be liberated from their salts or converted into pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts according to methods known from the literature.

[0031] According to a further aspect of the present invention there are provided pharmaceutical compositions comprising as active ingredient a compound of the general Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof in admixture with one or more conventional carrier(s) or auxiliary agent(s).

[0032] The pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention contain generally 0,1-95 % by weight, preferably 1-50 % by weight, particularly 5-30 % by weight of the active ingredient.

[0033] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be suitable for oral (e.g. powders, tablets, coated tablets, capsules, microcapsules, pills, solutions, suspensions or emulsions), parenteral (e.g. injection solutions for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous or intraperitoneal use), rectal (e.g. suppositories) transdermal (e.g. plasters) or local (e.g. ointments or plasters) administration or for the application in form of implants. The solid, soft or liquid pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention may be produced by methods conventionally applied in the pharmaceutical industry.

[0035] The liquid compositions suitable for oral administration can be solutions, suspensions or emulsions. Such compositions may contain suspending agents (e.g. gelatine, carboxymethyl cellulose), emulsifiers (e.g. sorbitane mono-oleate, solvents (e.g. water, oils, glycerol, propyleneglycol, ethanol), buffering agents (e.g. acetate, phosphate, citrate buffers) and pre-servatives (e.g. methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate etc.).

[0036] Liquid pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration are generally sterile izotonic solutions optionally containing, in addition to the solvent, buffering agents and preservatives.

[0037] Soft pharmaceutical compositions containing as active ingredient a compound of the general Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, such as suppositories, contain the active ingredient evenly dispersed in the basic material of the suppository (e.g. in polyethylene glycol or cocoa butter).

[0038] According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of an indol-2-one derivative of the general Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the treatment or prophylaxis of disorders of the central nervous system or psychosomatic disorders including anxiety syndromes, particularly generalized anxiety disorders, panic disease, compulsive disorder, social phobia, agoraphobia, phobias in connection with specific situations, post-traumatic stress disorders, post-traumatic memory disturbances, cognitive disturbances, sexual dysfunction of central nervous system origin, depression, schizophrenia, gastrointestinal diseases and cardiovascular diseases.

[0039] According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of an indol-2-one derivative of the general Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the treatment or prophylaxis of disorders of the central nervous system or psychosomatic disorders including anxiety syndromes, particularly generalized anxiety disorders, panic disease, compulsive disorder, social phobia, agoraphobia, phobias in connection with specific situations, post-traumatic stress disorders, memory disturbances caused by trauma, cognitive disturbances, sexual dysfunction of central nervous system origin, depression, schizophrenia, gastrointestinal diseases and cardiovascular diseases.

[0040] The pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention can be prepared by known methods of the pharmaceutical industry. The active ingredient is admixed with pharma-ceutically acceptable solid or liquid carriers and/or auxiliary agents and the mixture is brought to galenic form. The carriers and auxiliary agents together with the methods which can be used in the pharmaceutical industry are disclosed in the literature (Remington's Pharma-ceutical Sciences, Edition 18, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, USA, 1990).

[0041] The pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention contain generally a dosage unit. The daily dosage for human adults can be generally 0,1-1000 mg/kg body weight of a compound of the general Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. Said daily dose can be administered in one or more portion(s). The actual daily dose depends on several factors and is determined by the physician.

[0042] According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of the compounds of the general Formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof for the treatment or prophylaxis of disorders of the central nervous system and psychosomatic disorders including anxiety syndrome, particularly generalized anxiety disorders, panic disease, compulsive disorder, social phobia, agoraphobia, phobias in connection with specific situations, stress disorders, post-traumatic memory disorders, cognitive disturbances, sexual dysfunction of central nervous system origin, depression, schizophrenia, gastrointestinal diseases and cardiovascular diseases.

[0043] It is known from the European patent specification No. 376,607 and from the technical literature (A. Dekeyne, J.M. Rivet, A. Gobert, M.J. Millan: Neuropharmacology 40(7) p. 899-910 (2001); J.S: Sprouse et al.: Neuropsychopharmacology 21(5) p.622-631 (1999); A. Newman-Tancredi et al.: Eur. J. Pharmacol. 355(2-3) pp. 245-246 (1998)) that the prior art compounds of 1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one type selectively bind to 5-HT_1A receptors and thus affect the central nervous system. As a consequence, they can be used for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders, furthermore cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and renal diseases.

[0044] The invention is based on the surprising recognition that the compounds of the general Formula (I) exert anxiolytic activity but do not bind to 5-HT_1A receptors. Thus, it can be expected that they are devoid of the above-listed adverse side-effects characteristic of the ingredients binding to 5-HT_1A receptors.

[0045] Binding of the compounds of the general Formula (I) to 5-HT_1A receptors was investigated according to the method of Peroutka (S.J. Peroutka: J. Neurochem. 47, p. 529 (1986)).

[0046] Receptor bindings were determined from isolated frontal cortex membrane preparation of rats by using tritiated 8-hydroxy-N,N-dipropyl-2-amino-tetraline (8-OH-DPAT) ligand. For the determination of non-specific binding 10 µM serotonin creatinine sulfate was used. The following conditions were applied: incubation blood volume: 250 µl, incubation temperature: 25 ° C, incubation time: 30 minutes. The reaction was terminated by the addition of 9 ml of 50 mM ice-cold TRIS-HCl buffer (pH=7,7) and quick vacuum filtration using Whatman GFIB fibreglass filtering paper. Radioactivity of the filter boards was measured with the aid of a liquid scintillation spectrometer.

[0047] IC₅₀ is the concentration whereby the difference between whole binding and non-specific binding in the presence of 10 µM serotonin creatinine sulfate is 50%. The compounds with an IC₅₀ value smaller than 100 nmol were considered effective in this test. The results are given in Table 1.

26	>100

[0048] From the results disclosed in Table 1 it can be seen that the test compounds do not bind to 5-HT_1A receptors.

[0049] The anxiolytic effect of the compounds according to the invention was investigated on rats according to the so-called elevated plus-maze test (S. Pelow, P. Chopin, S.E. File, J. Briley: Neurosci. Methods 14, p. 149 (1985)).

[0050] A wooden cross elevated to 50 cm above the floor, 15 cm wide with 100 cm long arms was used for the experiments. The sides and ends of two opposite arms of the cross were equipped with 40 cm high walls, however, the arms were open to the 15 cm x 15 cm central area (closed arms). The two other opposite arms were not encircled by walls (open arms).

[0051] Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-220 g were used for the experiments. The animals were placed in the central area of the equipment 60 min after treatment and the following four parameters have been observed for the 5 min test time:

time spent in the open arms (sec),

time spent in the closed arms (sec),

number of entries into the open arms,

number of entries into the closed arms.

[0052] The effect was expressed as percent increase in either the time spent in the open arms or number of entries into the open arms. MEDs (minimal effective doses) were determined for each compound. The results are summarized in Table 5.

Table 5

[0053] From the data of the above tables it can be seen that the compounds of the general Formula (I) possess a significant anxiolytic effect.

[0054] On the basis of the above experiments the compounds according to the invention show a considerable efficacy in the treatment of disorders of the central nervous system. They may prove particularly suitable for the treatment of anxiety disorders, mixed anxiety and depression or in case of other disorders characterized by extreme stress conditions requiring tranquilliz-ation of the patient. They can also be used for the treatment of psychosomatic diseases, such as hypertension of psychic origin, gastrointestinal ulcer, colitis, asthma etc. In case of these clinical patterns it can be supposed that chronic stress, anxiety and/or unprocessed conflicts are in the background. The new compounds according to the invention surprisingly do not exert their favourable therapeutic activity via 5-HT_1A receptors, so it can be expected that they are devoid of the side-effects characteristic of the active ingredients acting on 5-HT_1A receptors.

Preparation of ω-haloalkyl compounds (Process "A")

[0063] Into a flask rinsed with argon 2.5 M n-butyl lithium (60 ml; 0.15 mole) is measured. 200 ml of THF are added to it, and the solution is cooled in an acetone-dry ice bath to -78 °C. At this temperature a solution of the appropriate 3-alkyl oxindole (0.20 mole) in 250 ml of THF is dropped to it under stirring. The mixture is stirred for further 10 minutes, a dihaloalkane (1-bromo-4-chlorobutane, 1-bromo-3-chloropropane, 1,5-dibromopentane or 1,6-dibromohexane; 0,50 mole) is added dropwise to it, and the solution is allowed to warm up to room temperature. Then it is stirred further for 3 hours, and 20 ml of ethanol is dropped to it in order to decompose excess of butyl lithium. The solution is distilled with a rotary evaporator and the residual oil is extracted with water and ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate. The residual oil is made crystalline by trituration with hexane. The separated off-white crystals are stirred in 200 ml of hexane in order to remove excess of dihaloalkane, filtered and washed with hexane. The product is used for the further reactions without recrystallization. Analytical samples may be obtained by recristallization from the indicated solvent.
