[0115] As used herein, the term "oxo" refers to =O. When an oxo is substituted on a carbon atom, they together form a carbonyl moiety [-C(=O)-]. When an oxo is substituted on a sulfur atom, they together form a sulfinyl moiety [-S(=O)-]; when two oxo groups are substituted on a sulfur atom, they together form a sulfonyl moiety [-S(=O)2-].
[0116] As used herein, the term "thiono" refers to =S. When an thiono is substituted on a carbon atom, they together form moiety of [-C(=S)-].
[0117] As used herein, the term "optionally substituted" means that substitution is optional and therefore includes both unsubstituted and substituted atoms and moieties. A "substituted" atom or moiety indicates that any hydrogen on the designated atom or moiety can be replaced with a selection from the indicated substituent group (up to that every hydrogen atom on the designated atom or moiety is replaced with a selection from the indicated substituent group), provided that the normal valency of the designated atom or moiety is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound. For example, if a methyl group (i.e., CH3) is optionally substituted, then up to 3 hydrogen atoms on the carbon atom can be replaced with substituent groups.
[0118] As used herein, the term "optionally substituted C1-4 alkyl" refers to C1-4 alkyl optionally substituted by one or more (e.g., 1 to 5) substituents each independently selected from the group consisting of-OH, halogen, -CN, -NH2, -NH(C1-4 alkyl), -N(C1-4 alkyl)2, C1-4 alkoxy, and C1-4 haloalkoxy.
[0119] As used herein, the term "optionally substituted C3-6 cycloalkyl" refers to C3-6 cycloalkyl optionally substituted by one or more (e.g., 1 to 5) substituents each independently selected from the group consisting of-OH, halogen, -CN, -NH2, -NH(C1-4 alkyl), -N(C1-4 alkyl)2, C1-4 alkyl, C1-4 haloalkyl, C1-4 hydroxylalkyl, C1-4 alkoxy, and C1-4 haloalkoxy.
[0120] As used herein, the term "optionally substituted C3-6 cycloalkyl-C1-2 alkyl-" refers to C3-6 cycloalkyl-C1-2 alkyl- optionally substituted by one or more (e.g., 1 to 5) substituents each independently selected from the group consisting of-OH, halogen, -CN, -NH2, -NH(C1-4 alkyl), - N(C1-4 alkyl)2, C1-4 alkyl, C1-4 haloalkyl, C1-4 hydroxylalkyl, C1-4 alkoxy, and C1-4 haloalkoxy.
[0121] As used herein, the term "optionally substituted C1-4 alkoxy" refers to C1-4 alkoxy optionally substituted by one or more (e.g., 1 to 5) substituents each independently selected from the group consisting of-OH, halogen, -CN, -NH2, -NH(C1-4 alkyl), -N(C1-4 alkyl)2, C1-4 alkoxy, and C1-4 haloalkoxy.
[0122] As used herein, unless specified, the point of attachment of a substituent can be from any suitable position of the substituent. For example, piperidinyl can be piperidin-1-yl (attached through the N atom of the piperidinyl), piperidin-2-yl (attached through the C atom at the 2-position of the piperidinyl), piperidin-3-yl (attached through the C atom at the 3-position of the piperidinyl), or piperidin-4-yl (attached through the C atom at the 4-position of the piperidinyl). For another example, pyridinyl (or pyridyl) can be 2-pyridinyl (or pyridin-2-yl), 3-pyridinyl (or pyridin-3-yl), or 4-pyridinyl (or pyridin-4-yl).
[0123] As used herein, the point of attachment of a substituent can be specified to indicate the position where the substituent is attached to another moiety. For example, "-C1-2 alkyl-(C3-4 cycloalkyl)" means the point of attachment occurs at the "C1-2 alkyl" part of the "-C1-2 alkyl-(C3-4 cycloalkyl)." For another example, "(C3-4 cycloalkyl)-C1-2 alkyl-" also means the point of attachment occurs at the "C1-2 alkyl" part of the "(C3-4 cycloalkyl)-C1-2 alkyl-."
[0124] When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any of the ring-forming atoms in that ring that are substitutable (i.e., bonded to one or more hydrogen atoms), unless otherwise specified or otherwise implicit from the context. For example, as shown in the structure of Formula a-6 below, R8 may be bonded to any of the ring atoms of ring A1, but not to the ring including the N atom as shown in Formula a-6. For another example, as shown in Formula a-5 below (when t1 is 1), the R9 group can be bonded to any of the ring carbon atoms or the N atom (of the NH moiety) because the cross-bond is through both rings of the bicyclic structure; on the other hand, R8 can only be bonded to the N atom (of the NH moiety) and the two carbon ring atoms that are directly connected to the N atom (of the NH moiety). R8 cannot be bonded to either of the carbon atom of the moiety of "CH2CH2" (the H atoms are not shown) of the pyrrolidine ring of the bicyclic system of Formula a-5 because the bond does not cross the pyrrolidine ring.
[0125] As used herein, unless otherwise specifically indicated, a linkage/linker-a moiety that links two other moieties-can be attached to the other two moieties in either direction, if the linkage/linker is asymmetric. For example, when R8 is -L1-R11 and L1 is -S(=O)2-NR23-, then R8 can be either -S(=O)2-NR23-R11 or-NR23-S(=)2-R11 (unless otherwise specifically indicated).
[0126] When a substituted or optionally substituted moiety is described without indicating the atom via which such moiety is bonded to a substituent, then the substituent may be bonded via any appropriate atom in such moiety. For example in a substituted arylalkyl, a substituent on the arylalkyl [e.g., (C6-10 aryl)-C1-4 alkyl-] can be bonded to any carbon atom on the alkyl part or on the aryl part of the arylalkyl. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
[0127] As noted above, the compounds of Formula I may exist in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts such as acid addition salts and/or base addition salts of the compounds of Formula I. The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable salt(s)", as used herein, unless otherwise indicated, includes acid addition or base salts which may be present in the compounds of Formula I.
[0128] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of Formula I include the acid addition and base salts thereof.
[0129] Suitable acid addition salts are formed from acids which form non-toxic salts. Examples include the acetate, adipate, aspartate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate/carbonate, bisulfate/sulfate, borate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclamate, edisylate, esylate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hexafluorophosphate, hibenzate, hydrochloride/chloride, hydrobromide/bromide, hydroiodide/iodide, isethionate, lactate, malate, maleate, malonate, mesylate, methylsulfate, naphthylate, 2-napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, orotate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate/hydrogen phosphate/dihydrogen phosphate, pyroglutamate, saccharate, stearate, succinate, tannate, tartrate, tosylate, trifluoroacetate and xinafoate salts.
[0130] Suitable base salts are formed from bases which form non-toxic salts. Examples include the aluminium, arginine, benzathine, calcium, choline, diethylamine, diolamine, glycine, lysine, magnesium, meglumine, olamine, potassium, sodium, tromethamine and zinc salts.
[0131] Hemisalts of acids and bases may also be formed, for example, hemisulfate and hemicalcium salts.
[0132] For a review on suitable salts, see "Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use" by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, 2002). Methods for making pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula I are known to one of skill in the art.
[0133] As used herein the terms "Formula I" or "Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof' are defined to include all forms of the compound of Formula I or pharmaceutically salt thereof, including hydrates, solvates, isomers (including for example rotational stereoisomers), crystalline and non-crystalline forms, isomorphs, polymorphs, metabolites, and prodrugs thereof.
[0134] As is known to the person skilled in the art, amine compounds (i.e., those comprising one or more nitrogen atoms), for example tertiary amines, can form N-oxides (also known as amine oxides or amine N-oxides). An N-oxide has the formula of (R100)(R200)(R300)N+-O- wherein the parent amine (R100)(R200)(R300)N can be, for example, a tertiary amine (for example, each of R100, R200, R300 is independently alkyl, arylalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, or the like), a heterocyclic or heteroaromatic amine [for example, (R100)(R200)(R300)N together forms 1-alkylpiperidine, 1-alkylpyrrolidine, 1-benzylpyrrolidine, or pyridine]. For instance, an imine nitrogen, especially a heterocyclic or heteroaromatic imine nitrogen, or pyridine-type nitrogen
atom [such as a nitrogen atom in pyridine, pyridazine, or pyrazine], can be N-oxidized to form the N-oxide comprising the group
Thus, a compound according to the present invention comprising one or more nitrogen atoms (e.g., an imine nitrogen atom) may be capable of forming an N-oxide thereof (e.g., mono-N-oxides, bis-N-oxides or multi-N-oxides, or mixtures thereof depending on the number of nitrogen atoms suitable to form stable N-oxides).
[0135] As used herein, the term "N-oxide(s)" refer to all possible, and in particular all stable, N-oxide forms of the amine compounds (e.g., compounds comprising one or more imine nitrogen atoms) described herein, such as mono-N-oxides (including different isomers when more than one nitrogen atom of an amine compound can form a mono-N-oxide) or multi-N-oxides (e.g., bis-N-oxides), or mixtures thereof in any ratio.
[0137] In the description herein below, unless otherwise specified, compounds of Formula I (or compounds of the invention) include salts of the compounds and the N-oxides of the compounds or the salts.
[0138] As is also known to the person skilled in the art, tertiary amine compounds (i.e., those comprising one or more tertiary amine nitrogen atoms) can form quaternary ammonium salts. In the description herein below, unless otherwise specified, compounds of Formula I (or compounds of the invention) further include their quaternary ammonium salts.
[0139] Compounds of Formula I may exist in a continuum of solid states ranging from fully amorphous to fully crystalline. The term 'amorphous' refers to a state in which the material lacks long-range order at the molecular level and, depending upon temperature, may exhibit the physical properties of a solid or a liquid. Typically such materials do not give distinctive X-ray diffraction patterns and, while exhibiting the properties of a solid, are more formally described as a liquid. Upon heating, a change from apparent solid to a material with liquid properties occurs, which is characterised by a change of state, typically second order ('glass transition'). The term 'crystalline' refers to a solid phase in which the material has a regular ordered internal structure at the molecular level and gives a distinctive X-ray diffraction pattern with defined peaks. Such materials when heated sufficiently will also exhibit the properties of a liquid, but the change from solid to liquid is characterized by a phase change, typically first order ('melting point').
[0140] Compounds of Formula I may exist in unsolvated and solvated forms. When the solvent or water is tightly bound, the complex will have a well-defined stoichiometry independent of humidity. When, however, the solvent or water is weakly bound, as in channel solvates and hygroscopic compounds, the water/solvent content will be dependent on humidity and drying conditions. In such cases, non-stoichiometry will be the norm.
[0141] The compounds of Formula I may exist as clathrates or other complexes (e.g., co-crystals). Included within the scope of the invention are complexes such as clathrates, drug-host inclusion complexes wherein the drug and host are present in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts. Also included are complexes of the compounds of Formula I containing two or more organic and/or inorganic components, which may be in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts. The resulting complexes may be ionized, partially ionized, or non-ionized. Co-crystals are typically defined as crystalline complexes of neutral molecular constituents that are bound together through non-covalent interactions, but could also be a complex of a neutral molecule with a salt. Co-crystals may be prepared by melt crystallization, by recrystallization from solvents, or by physically grinding the components together; see O. Almarsson and M. J. Zaworotko, Chem. Commun. 2004, 17, 1889-1896. For a general review of multi-component complexes, see J. K. Haleblian, J. Pharm. Sci. 1975, 64, 1269-1288.
[0142] The compounds of the invention may also exist in a mesomorphic state (mesophase or liquid crystal) when subjected to suitable conditions. The mesomorphic state is intermediate between the true crystalline state and the true liquid state (either melt or solution). Mesomorphism arising as the result of a change in temperature is described as 'thermotropic' and that resulting from the addition of a second component, such as water or another solvent, is described as 'lyotropic'. Compounds that have the potential to form lyotropic mesophases are described as 'amphiphilic' and consist of molecules which possess an ionic (such as -COO-Na+, -COO-K+, or -SO3-Na+) or non-ionic (such as -N-N+(CH3)3) polar head group. For more information, see Crystals and the Polarizing Microscope by N. H. Hartshorne and A. Stuart, 4th Edition (Edward Arnold, 1970).
[0143] The invention also relates to prodrugs of the compounds of Formula I. Thus certain derivatives of compounds of Formula I which may have little or no pharmacological activity themselves can, when administered into or onto the body, be converted into compounds of Formula I having the desired activity, for example, by hydrolytic cleavage. Such derivatives are referred to as "prodrugs". Further information on the use of prodrugs may be found in Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14, ACS Symposium Series (T. Higuchi and W. Stella) and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, Pergamon Press, 1987 (Ed. E. B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association).
[0144] Prodrugs in accordance with the invention can, for example, be produced by replacing appropriate functionalities present in the compounds of Formula I with certain moieties known to those skilled in the art as 'pro-moieties' as described, for example, in Design of Prodrugs by H. Bundgaard (Elsevier, 1985), or in Prodrugs: Challenges and Reward, 2007 edition, edited by Valentino Stella, Ronald Borchardt, Michael Hageman, Reza Oliyai, Hans Maag, Jefferson Tilley, pages 134-175 (Springer, 2007).
[0145] Moreover, certain compounds of Formula I may themselves act as prodrugs of other compounds of Formula I.
[0146] Also included within the scope of the invention are metabolites of compounds of Formula I, that is, compounds formed in vivo upon administration of the drug.
[0147] The compounds of Formula I include all stereoisomers and tautomers. Stereoisomers of Formula I include cis and trans isomers, optical isomers such as R and S enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers, rotational isomers, atropisomers, and conformational isomers of the compounds of Formula I, including compounds exhibiting more than one type of isomerism; and mixtures thereof (such as racemates and diastereomeric pairs). Also included are acid addition or base addition salts wherein the counterion is optically active, for example, D-lactate or L-lysine, or racemic, for example, DL-tartrate or DL-arginine.
[0148] In some embodiments, the compounds of Formula I (including salts thereof) may have asymmetric carbon atoms. The carbon-carbon bonds of the compounds of Formula I may be depicted herein using a solid line (-), a wavy line (
), a solid wedge (
), or a dotted wedge (
). The use of a solid line to depict bonds to asymmetric carbon atoms is meant to indicate that all possible stereoisomers (e.g., specific enantiomers, racemic mixtures, etc.) at that carbon atom are included. The use of either a solid or dotted wedge to depict bonds to asymmetric carbon atoms is meant to indicate that only the stereoisomer shown is meant to be included. The use of a wavy line to depict bonds to asymmetric carbon atoms is meant to indicate that the stereochemistry is unknown (unless otherwise specified). It is possible that compounds of Formula I may contain more than one asymmetric carbon atom. In those compounds, the use of a solid line to depict bonds to asymmetric carbon atoms is meant to indicate that all possible stereoisomers are meant to be included. For example, unless stated otherwise, it is intended that the compounds of Formula I can exist as enantiomers and diastereomers or as racemates and mixtures thereof. The use of a solid line to depict bonds to one or more asymmetric carbon atoms in a compound of Formula I and the use of a solid or dotted wedge to depict bonds to other asymmetric carbon atoms in the same compound is meant to indicate that a mixture of diastereomers is present.
[0149] In some embodiments, the compounds of Formula I may exist in and/or be isolated as atropisomers (e.g., one or more atropenantiomers). Those skilled in the art would recognize that atropisomerism may exist in a compound that has two or more aromatic rings (for example, two aromatic rings linked through a single bond). See e.g., Freedman, T. B. et al., Absolute Configuration Determination of Chiral Molecules in the Solution State Using Vibrational Circular Dichroism. Chirality 2003, 15, 743-758; and Bringmann, G. et al., Atroposelective Synthesis of Axially Chiral Biaryl Compounds. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2005, 44, 5384-5427.
[0150] When any racemate crystallizes, crystals of different types are possible. One type is the racemic compound (true racemate) wherein one homogeneous form of crystal is produced containing both enantiomers in equimolar amounts. Another type is a racemic mixture or conglomerate wherein two forms of crystal are produced in equal or different molar amounts each comprising a single enantiomer.
[0151] The compounds of Formula I may exhibit the phenomena of tautomerism and structural isomerism. For example, the compounds of Formula I may exist in several tautomeric forms, including the enol and imine form, the amide and imidic acid form, and the keto and enamine form and geometric isomers and mixtures thereof. All such tautomeric forms are included within the scope of the compounds of Formula I. Tautomers may exist as mixtures of a tautomeric set in solution. In solid form, usually one tautomer predominates. Even though one tautomer may be described, the present invention includes all tautomers of the compounds of Formula I. For example, when one of the following two tautomers (wherein R can be, for example, phenyl that is further substituted) is disclosed, those skilled in the art would readily recognize the other tautomer.
[0152] The present invention includes all pharmaceutically acceptable isotopically labelled compounds of Formula I or salts thereof wherein one or more atoms are replaced by atoms having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number which predominates in nature.
[0153] Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, such as 2H and 3H, carbon, such as 11C, 13C and 14C, chlorine, such as 36Cl, fluorine, such as 18F, iodine, such as 123I and 125I, nitrogen, such as 13N and 15N, oxygen, such as 15O, 17O and 18O, phosphorus, such as 32P, and sulphur, such as 35S.
[0154] Certain isotopically labelled compounds of Formula I, for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e., 3H, and carbon-14, i.e., 14C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection.
[0155] Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., 2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances.
[0156] Substitution with positron-emitting isotopes, such as 11C, 18F, 15O and 13N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy.
[0157] Isotopically labeled compounds of Formula I can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the accompanying Examples and Preparations using an appropriate isotopically labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.
[0158] The present invention also provides compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions) comprising a novel compound of Formula I. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising (a therapeutically effective amount of) a novel compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and optionally comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In one further embodiment, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising (a therapeutically effective amount of) a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, optionally comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and, optionally, at least one additional medicinal or pharmaceutical agent (such as an antipsychotic agent or anti-schizophrenia agent described below). In one embodiment, the additional medicinal or pharmaceutical agent is an anti-schizophrenia agent as described below.
[0159] The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may comprise any conventional pharmaceutical carrier or excipient. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include inert diluents or fillers, water and various organic solvents (such as hydrates and solvates). The pharmaceutical compositions may, if desired, contain additional ingredients such as flavorings, binders, excipients and the like. Thus for oral administration, tablets containing various excipients, such as citric acid, may be employed together with various disintegrants such as starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates and with binding agents such as sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often useful for tableting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed in soft and hard filled gelatin capsules. Non-limiting examples of materials, therefore, include lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions or elixirs are desired for oral administration, the active compound therein may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matters or dyes and, if desired, emulsifying agents or suspending agents, together with diluents such as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, or combinations thereof.
[0160] The pharmaceutical composition may, for example, be in a form suitable for oral administration as a tablet, capsule, pill, powder, sustained release formulation, solution or suspension, for parenteral injection as a sterile solution, suspension or emulsion, for topical administration as an ointment or cream or for rectal administration as a suppository.
[0161] Exemplary parenteral administration forms include solutions or suspensions of active compounds in sterile aqueous solutions, for example, aqueous propylene glycol or dextrose solutions. Such dosage forms may be suitably buffered, if desired.
[0162] The pharmaceutical composition may be in unit dosage forms suitable for single administration of precise dosages. One of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that the composition may be formulated in sub-therapeutic dosage such that multiple doses are envisioned.
[0163] In one embodiment the composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I or salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[0164] Compounds of Formula I (including salts thereof) are MAGL inhibitors. In some embodiments, the IC50 of a compound of Formula I (or its metabolite) is less than about 10 µM, 5 µM, 2 µM, 1 µM, 500 nM, 200 nM, 100 nM, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, 2, or 1 nM as determined by the method in Example AA described herein below.
[0165] Administration of the compounds of Formula I (including salts therof) may be effected by any method that enables delivery of the compounds to the site of action. These methods include, for example, enteral routes (e.g., oral routes, buccal routes, sublabial routes, sublingual routes), oral routes, intranasal routes, inhaled routes, intraduodenal routes, parenteral injection (including intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravascular or infusion), intrathecal routes, epidural routes, intracerebral routes, intracerbroventricular routes, topical, and rectal administration.
[0166] In one embodiment of the present invention, the compounds of Formula I may be administered/effected by parenteral injection routes (e.g., intravenous injection route).
[0167] In one embodiment of the present invention, the compounds of Formula I may be administered/effected by oral routes.
[0168] Dosage regimens may be adjusted to provide the optimum desired response. For example, a single bolus may be administered, several divided doses may be administered over time or the dose may be proportionally reduced or increased as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. It may be advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form, as used herein, refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the mammalian subjects to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specifications for the dosage unit forms of the invention are dictated by a variety of factors such as the unique characteristics of the therapeutic agent and the particular therapeutic or prophylactic effect to be achieved. In one embodiment of the present invention, the compounds of Formula I may be used to treat humans.
[0169] It is to be noted that dosage values may vary with the type and severity of the condition to be alleviated, and may include single or multiple doses. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions, and that dosage ranges set forth herein are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed composition. For example, doses may be adjusted based on pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic parameters, which may include clinical effects such as toxic effects and/or laboratory values. Thus, the present invention encompasses intra-patient dose-escalation as determined by the skilled artisan. Determining appropriate dosages and regimens for administration of the chemotherapeutic agent is well-known in the relevant art and would be understood to be encompassed by the skilled artisan once provided the teachings disclosed herein.
[0170] The amount of the compound of Formula I administered will be dependent on the subject being treated, the severity of the disorder or condition, the rate of administration, the disposition of the compound and the discretion of the prescribing physician. Generally, an effective dosage is in the range of about 0.0001 to about 50 mg per kg body weight per day, for example about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg/day, in single or divided doses. For a 70 kg human, this would amount to about 0.007 mg to about 3500 mg/day, for example about 0.7 mg to about 700 mg/day. 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.
[0171] As used herein, the term "combination therapy" refers to the administration of a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof together with an at least one additional pharmaceutical or medicinal agent (e.g., an anti-schizophrenia agent), either sequentially or simultaneously.
[0172] The present invention includes the use of a combination of a compound of Formula I (including a salt thereof) and one or more additional pharmaceutically active agent(s). If a combination of active agents is administered, then they may be administered sequentially or simultaneously, in separate dosage forms or combined in a single dosage form. Accordingly, the present invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising an amount of: (a) a first agent comprising a compound of Formula I (including a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof); (b) a second pharmaceutically active agent; and (c) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, vehicle or diluent.
[0173] Various pharmaceutically active agents may be selected for use in conjunction with the compounds of Formula I, depending on the disease, disorder, or condition to be treated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0180] Compounds of the invention, including salts of the compounds, can be prepared using known organic synthesis techniques and can be synthesized according to any of numerous possible synthetic routes. The reactions for preparing compounds of the invention can be carried out in suitable solvents, which can be readily selected by one of skill in the art of organic synthesis. Suitable solvents can be substantially non-reactive with the starting materials (reactants), the intermediates, or products at the temperatures at which the reactions are carried out, e.g., temperatures that can range from the solvent's freezing temperature to the solvent's boiling temperature. A given reaction can be carried out in one solvent or a mixture of more than one solvent. Depending on the particular reaction step, suitable solvents for a particular reaction step can be selected by the skilled artisan.
[0181] Preparation of compounds of the invention can involve the protection and deprotection of various chemical groups. The need for protection and deprotection, and the selection of appropriate protecting groups, can be readily determined by one skilled in the art. The chemistry of protecting groups can be found, for example, in T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Ed., Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York (1999), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0182] Reactions can be monitored according to any suitable method known in the art. For example, product formation can be monitored by spectroscopic means, such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (e.g., 1H or 13C), infrared spectroscopy, spectrophotometry (e.g., UV-visible), mass spectrometry, or by chromatographic methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or thin layer chromatography (TLC).
[0183] Compounds of Formula I and intermediates thereof may be prepared according to the following reaction schemes and accompanying discussion. Unless otherwise indicated, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, r and structural Formula I (including I-a) in the reaction schemes and discussion that follow are as defined above. In general, the compounds of this invention may be made by processes which include processes analogous to those known in the chemical arts, particularly in light of the description contained herein. Certain processes for the manufacture of the compounds of this invention and intermediates thereof are provided as further features of the invention and are illustrated by the following reaction schemes. Other processes are described in the experimental section. The schemes and examples provided herein (including the corresponding description) are for illustration only, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0184] Scheme 1 refers to the synthesis of compounds of Formula I. Referring to Scheme 1, a compound of Formula 1-3 [wherein Pg1 is an alcohol protecting group such as tert-butyldimethyl silyl (TBDMS) or p-methoxbenzyl] can be prepared by reacting an amine of Formula 1-1 with a compound of Formula 1-2 using standard methods of carbamate formation well known to those skilled in the art [for example, in the presence of phosgene, triphosgene, or a suitably activated carbonate reagent such as bis(pentafluorophenyl)carbonate or N,N'-disuccinimidyl carbonate]. Amines of Formula 1-1 may be obtained commercially, synthesized by methods described herein, or made by other methods well known to those skilled in the art. Carbamate formation may be accomplished in the presence of a base (such as triethylamine or hunigs base). A compound of Formula 1-4 may be obtained by deprotecting the compounds of Formula 1-3, using appropriate conditions depending on the selection of the Pg1 group. For example, where Pg1 is TBDMS, treatment with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid in aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane may be employed. The compound of Formula 1-4 (which is a compound of Formula I wherein R7 is H) may optionally be converted to a compound of Formula I wherein R7 is other than H. For example, an alkylation reaction of the compound of Formula 1-4 with a halide compound (alkyl halide or cycloalkyl halide) can provide a compound of Formula I wherein R7 is C1-6 alkyl, C3-7 cycloalkyl. As another example, reaction of the alcohol of Formula 1-4 with diphosphoryl tetrachloride in a suitable solvent such as acetonitrile affords compounds of Formula I where R7 is -P(=O)(OH)2 or a salt thereof. For yet another example, reaction of the alcohol of Formula 1-4 with a sulfating agent [e.g. SO3, sulfamic acid H2N-S(=O)2(OH), chlorosulfonic acid HO-S(=O)2(Cl)] under suitable conditions can afford a compound of Formula I wherein R7 is -S(=O)2(OH) or a salt thereof.
[0185] Scheme 2 refers to synthesis of compounds of Formula I-a. An amine of Formula 1-1 may be reacted with a compound of Formula 2-2 [where Pg1 is a suitable alcohol protecting group, such as TBDMS or p-methoxybenzyl], using methods analogous to those described in Scheme 1, to form a carbamate of Formula 2-3. The compound of Formula 2-3 may be deprotected using appropriate conditions depending of the selection of Pg1 to give a compound of Formula 2-4. Similar to the discussions in Scheme 1, the compound of Formula 2-4 (which is a compound of Formula I-a wherein R7 is H) may optionally be converted to a compound of Formula I-a wherein R7 is other than H.
[0186] Scheme 3 refers to the preparation of compounds of Formula 3-4 [wherein Pg1 is an alcohol protecting group such TBDMS or p-methoxbenzyl], which can be used as a compound of Formula 1-2 in Scheme 1 [wherein r is 1; and both R5 and R6 are H]. Referring to Scheme 3, a compound of Formula 3-3 may be prepared by treatment of compound 3-1 with a base (such as n-butyllithium) followed by addition to formaldehyde 3-2 (or its equivalent such as paraformaldehyde) in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride. Protection of the alcohol moiety in the compound of Formula 3-3 may be achieved by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, where the Pg1 is TBDMS, the protection can be achieved by treatment of the compound of Formula 3-3 with an activated silyl reagent [such as tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl chloride] in the presence of a base (such as 1H-imidazole) in a suitable non-protic solvent (such as THF or DMF) at a suitable temperature (e.g., ambient temperature).
[0187] Scheme 4 refers to a synthesis of compounds of Formula 4-3 [wherein Pg2 is an alcohol protecting group such p-methoxbenzyl], which can be used as a compound of Formula 1-2 in Scheme 1 [wherein r is 0]. Referring to Scheme 4, reaction of an epoxide of Formula 4-1 with an alcohol of Formula 4-2, in the presence of a base [e.g., NaN(TMS)2) in a in non-protic solvent (e.g., THF or DMF), affords a compound of Formula 4-3.
[0188] Scheme 4A refers to a synthesis of a compound of Formula 4A-5 or a salt thereof [i.e., a compound of Formula I-a or salt thereof, wherein R7 is -P(=O)(OH)2]. Referring to Scheme 4A, reaction of an epoxide of Formula 4A-1 with a phosphorus compound of Formula 4A-2 [wherein each of Pg2A is a hydroxyl protecting group such as benzyl], optionally in the presence of a base [e.g., NaN(TMS)2] in a in non-protic solvent (e.g., THF or DMF), affords a compound of Formula 4A-3. Similar to the carbamate formation reaction described in Schemes 1 and 2, reaction of the compound of Formula 4A-3 and an amine of Formula 1-1 affords a compound of Formula 4A-4. Depending on the choice of the Pg2A groups, removal of the protecting Pg2A groups under suitable conditions will afford a compound of Formula 4A-5 or a salt thereof.
[0189] Scheme 5 refers to the preparation of amines of Formula 5-8 (wherein R31 is aryl or heteroaryl that are optionally substituted), which can be used as a specific type of amine of Formula 1-1 for the preparation of compounds of Formula I or I-a in Schemes 1 and 2. The Weinreb amide of Formula 5-2 [where Pg3 is an amine protecting group such as tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC)] can be prepared by coupling N-methoxymethanamine with a carboxylic acid of Formula 5-1 using a suitable coupling agent [e.g., O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N;N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU)]. Addition of a Grignard reagent (e.g., methylmagnesium bromide) to the Weinreb amide of Formula 5-2 results in a ketone of Formula 5-3. Treatment of the ketone of Formula 5-3 with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal at elevated temperatures results in an enamine of Formula 5-4. Subsequent treatment with hydrazine (or its equivalent) in a protic solvent such as ethanol affords a pyrazole of Formula 5-5. A compound of Formula 5-7 can be obtained by reacting the pyrazole of Formula 5-5 with a (hetero)aryl boronic acid of Formula 5-6 in the presence of a catalyst (such as copper acetate) and a base (e.g., pyridine) in a suitable solvent (such as dichloromethane). Alternatively, the pyrazole of Formula 5-5 can be transformed into the compound of Formula 5-7 by palladium-catalyzed coupling with a suitable (hetero)aryl halide of Formula 5-9 wherein X is a suitable halide such are Cl, Br or I. Coupling can be achieved by reaction of the pyrazole of Formula 5-5 and (hetero)aryl halide of Formula 5-9 in the presence of a palladium catalyst such as [1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(ll) [Pd(dppf)Cl2] together with a base such as potassium acetate at an elevated temperature in a non-protic solvent such as toluene. A compound of Formula 5-8 can be prepared by removal of the protecting group Pg3. For example, wherein the Pg3 is tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC), cleavage can be achieved under acidic conditions by treatment with, for example, trifluoroacetic acid.
[0190] Scheme 6 refers to a synthesis of a spiromorpholine of Formula 6-6 (wherein Pg4 is a suitable amine protecting group such as BOC), which can be used as a starting material in Scheme 7. Referring to Scheme 6, reaction of a suitably protected piperidine of Formula 6-1 with nitromethane in the presence of a mild base such as triethylamine affords a compound of Formula 6-2. Reduction of the nitro moiety of the compound of Formula 6-2 to obtain an aminoalcohol of Formula 6-3 can be achieved by using methods such as palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation, for example utilizing 10% palladium on carbon in an alcoholic solvent under an atmosphere of hydrogen. Acetylation of the compound of Formula 6-3 can be achieved by treatment with chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of a suitable base such as potassium carbonate. Ring closure of the chloride compound of Formula 6-4 can be achieved by treatment with a suitable base (e.g., potassium tert-butoxide) in a non-protic solvent (e.g., THF) under reflux conditions to furnish a compound of Formula 6-5. A spiromorpholine compound of Formula 6-6 may be obtained by reduction of the amide functionality in the compound of Formula 6-5 using a suitable reducing agent (e.g.. borane-dimethyl sulfide complex in THF).
[0191] Scheme 7 refers to the synthesis of compounds of Formula 7-4, 7-7, 7-10, or 7-13 from an amine of Formula 6-6. A compound of Formula 7-3 [wherein R70 can be, for example, R11, R12, R13, or R14] can be prepared by reacting the amine of Formula 6-6 with an aldehyde of Formula 7-2 using reductive amination conditions well known to those skilled in the art. For example, treatment with titanium(IV) isopropoxide and a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride can be employed. Reaction of an amine of Formula 6-6 with sulfonyl chlorides of Formula 7-5 [wherein R70 can be, for example, R11, R12, R13, or R14] in the presence of a suitable base (such as pyridine or sodium bicarbonate) results in a sulfonamide of Formula 7-6. An amine 6-6 can be treated with a suitably activated compound of Formula 7-8 (wherein Lg1 is a leaving group such as Cl) to give a compound of Formula 7-9 [wherein R71 can be, for example, R23; and R72 can be, for example, R11, R12, R13, R14, -(CR21 R22)p-R11, -(CR21R22)p-R12, - (CR21 R22)p-R13, or -(CR21R22)p-R14; or R71 and R72, together with the N atom to which they are attached, form 4- to 14-membered heterocycloalkyl optionally substituted with R8 and one or more independently selected R9]. A compound of Formula 7-12 [wherein R73 can be, for example, R11 or R12] can be prepared by metal-catalyzed coupling of compounds of Formula 6-6 with a compound of Formula 7-11 (wherein X is a halogen atom such as Cl or Br). A compound of Formula 7-3, 7-6, 7-9, or 7-12 can be converted to a compound of Formula 7-4, 7-7, 7-10, or 7-13, respectively, by appropriate deprotection. For example, when Pg4 is BOC, the deprotection can be achieved by treatment with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid. A compound of Formula 7-4, 7-7, 7-10, or 7-13 can each be used as starting material [as a specific amine of Formula 1-1] for synthesis of compounds of Formula I (e.g., Formula I-a or I-b) as described in Schemes 1 and 2.
[0192] Scheme 8 refers to a synthesis of compounds of Formula 8-6 [where each t2a is independently 0 or 1; and R8A can be, for example, R11, R12, R13, or R14]. A compound of Formula 8-3 can be prepared by treatment of the aminoalcohol of Formula 8-1 (which can be prepared using the method as described in Scheme 6 for the aminoalcohol of Formula 6-3) with a sulfonyl chloride of Formula 8-2 in the presence of a suitable base (e.g., pyridine). Reaction of the compound of Formula 8-3 with a compound of Formula 8-4 (wherein each X is independently a suitable leaving group such as Br or CI), in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate in a polar aprotic solvent such as DMF, results in a compound of Formula 8-5. Removal of the protecting group results in a compound of Formula 8-6, which can be used as starting material [as a specific amine of Formula 1-1] in Schemes 1 and 2 for the preparation of compounds of Formula I (including compounds of Formula I-a or I-b).
[0193] Scheme 9 refers to a preparation of compounds of Formula 9-3 [where R8A can be, for example, R11, R12, R13, or R14]. A compound of formula 9-1 [where Pg4 is an amine protecting group (e.g., BOC)] can be obtained commercially or be readily synthesized by methods well known to those skilled in the art. A compound of Formula 9-2 can be obtained by reaction of a compound of Formula 9-1 with sulfonyl chlorides of Formula 8-2 in a suitable solvent (e.g., dichloromethane) in the presence of a suitable base (e.g., sodium bicarbonate). Deprotection of compounds of Formula 9-2 using appropriate conditions well known to those skilled in the art provides a compound of Formula 9-3. The compound of Formula 9-3 can be used as starting material [as a specific amine of Formula 1-1] in Schemes 1 and 2 for the preparation of compounds of Formula I (including compounds of Formula I-a or I-b).
[0194] Additional starting materials and intermediates useful for making the compounds of the present invention can be obtained from chemical vendors such as Sigma-Aldrich or can be made according to methods described in the chemical art.
[0195] Those skilled in the art can recognize that in all of the schemes described herein, if there are functional (reactive) groups present on a part of the compound structure such as a substituent group, for example R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, etc., further modification can be made if appropriate and/or desired, using methods well known to those skilled in the art. For example, a -CN group can be hydrolyzed to afford an amide group; a carboxylic acid can be converted to an amide; a carboxylic acid can be converted to an ester, which in turn can be reduced to an alcohol, which in turn can be further modified. For another example, an OH group can be converted into a better leaving group such as a methanesulfonate, which in turn is suitable for nucleophilic substitution, such as by a cyanide ion (CN-). For another example, an - S- can be oxidized to -S(=O)- and/or -S(=O)2-. For yet another example, an unsaturated bond such as C=C or C=C can be reduced to a saturated bond by hydrogenation. One skilled in the art will recognize further such modifications. Thus, a compound of Formula I having a substituent that contains a functional group can be converted to another compound of Formula I having a different substituent group.
[0196] Similarly, those skilled in the art can also recognize that in all of the schemes described herein, if there are functional (reactive) groups present on a substituent group such as R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, etc., these functional groups can be protected/deprotected in the course of the synthetic scheme described here, if appropriate and/or desired. For example, an OH group can be protected by a benzyl, methyl, or acetyl group, which can be deprotected and converted back to the OH group in a later stage of the synthetic process. For another example, an NH2 group can be protected by a benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) or BOC group; conversion back to the NH2 group can be carried out at a later stage of the synthetic process via deprotection.
[0197] As used herein, the term "reacting" (or "reaction" or "reacted") refers to the bringing together of designated chemical reactants such that a chemical transformation takes place generating a compound different from any initially introduced into the system. Reactions can take place in the presence or absence of solvent.
[0198] Compounds of Formula I may exist as stereoisomers, such as atropisomers, racemates, enantiomers, or diastereomers. Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate using, for example, chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Alternatively, the racemate (or a racemic precursor) may be reacted with a suitable optically active compound, for example, an alcohol, or, in the case where the compound contains an acidic or basic moiety, an acid or base such as tartaric acid or 1-phenylethylamine. The resulting diastereomeric mixture may be separated by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization and one or both of the diastereoisomers converted to the corresponding pure enantiomer(s) by means well known to one skilled in the art. Chiral compounds of Formula I (and chiral precursors thereof) may be obtained in enantiomerically enriched form using chromatography, typically HPLC, on an asymmetric resin with a mobile phase consisting of a hydrocarbon, typically heptane or hexane, containing from 0% to 50% 2-propanol, typically from 2% to 20%, and from 0% to 5% of an alkylamine, typically 0.1% diethylamine. Concentration of the eluate affords the enriched mixture. Stereoisomeric conglomerates may be separated by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds by E. L. Eliel and S. H. Wilen (Wiley, New York, 1994), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Suitable stereoselective techniques are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0199] Where a compound of Formula I contains an alkenyl or alkenylene (alkylidene) group, geometric cis/trans (or Z/E) isomers are possible. Cis/trans isomers may be separated by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallization. Salts of the present invention can be prepared according to methods known to those of skill in the art.
[0200] The compounds of Formula I that are basic in nature are capable of forming a wide variety of 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 the compound of the present invention 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 basic compounds of this invention can be prepared by treating the basic compound with a substantially equivalent amount of the selected mineral or organic acid in an aqueous solvent medium or in a suitable organic solvent, such as methanol or ethanol. Upon evaporation of the solvent, the desired solid salt is obtained. The desired acid salt can also be precipitated from a solution of the free base in an organic solvent by adding an appropriate mineral or organic acid to the solution.
[0201] If the inventive compound is a base, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, isonicotinic acid, lactic acid, pantothenic acid, bitartric acid, ascorbic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, gluconic acid, saccharic acid, formic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and pamoic [i.e., 4,4'-methanediylbis(3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid)] acid, a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, such as citric acid or tartaric acid, an amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid, such as ethanesulfonic acid, or the like.
[0202] Those compounds of Formula I that are acidic in nature are capable of forming base salts with various pharmacologically acceptable cations. Examples of such salts include the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts, and particularly the sodium and potassium salts. These salts are all prepared by conventional techniques. The chemical bases which are used as reagents to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable base salts of this invention are those which form non-toxic base salts with the acidic compounds of Formula I. These salts may be prepared by any suitable method, for example, treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base, such as an amine (primary, secondary or tertiary), an alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, or the like. These salts can also be prepared by treating the corresponding acidic compounds with an aqueous solution containing the desired pharmacologically acceptable cations, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness, for example under reduced pressure. Alternatively, they may also be prepared by mixing lower alkanolic solutions of the acidic compounds and the desired alkali metal alkoxide together, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness in the same manner as before. In either case, stoichiometric quantities of reagents are, for example, employed in order to ensure completeness of reaction and maximum yields of the desired final product.
[0203] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula I (including compounds of Formula I-a or I-b) may be prepared by, e.g., one or more of three methods:
- (i) by reacting the compound of Formula I with the desired acid or base;
- (ii) by removing an acid- or base-labile protecting group from a suitable precursor of the compound of Formula I or by ring-opening a suitable cyclic precursor, for example, a lactone or lactam, using the desired acid or base; or
- (iii) by converting one salt of the compound of Formula I to another by reaction with an appropriate acid or base or by means of a suitable ion exchange column.
[0204] All three reactions are typically carried out in solution. The resulting salt may precipitate out and be collected by filtration or may be recovered by evaporation of the solvent. The degree of ionization in the resulting salt may vary from completely ionized to almost non-ionized.
[0205] Polymorphs can be prepared according to techniques well-known to those skilled in the art, for example, by crystallization.
[0206] When any racemate crystallizes, crystals of two different types are possible. The first type is the racemic compound (true racemate) referred to above wherein one homogeneous form of crystal is produced containing both enantiomers in equimolar amounts. The second type is the racemic mixture or conglomerate wherein two forms of crystal are produced in equimolar amounts each comprising a single enantiomer.
[0207] While both of the crystal forms present in a racemic mixture may have almost identical physical properties, they may have different physical properties compared to the true racemate. Racemic mixtures may be separated by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art - see, for example, Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds by E. L. Eliel and S. H. Wilen (Wiley, New York, 1994).
[0208] The invention also includes isotopically labeled compounds of Formula I wherein one or more atoms is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Isotopically labeled compounds of Formula I (or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or N-oxides thereof) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed.
[0209] Prodrugs in accordance with the invention can, for example, be produced by replacing appropriate functionalities present in the compounds of Formula I with certain moieties known to those skilled in the art as 'pro-moieties' as described, for example, in Design of Prodrugs by H. Bundgaard (Elsevier, 1985).
[0210] The compounds of Formula I should be assessed for their biopharmaceutical properties, such as solubility and solution stability (across pH), permeability, etc., in order to select the most appropriate dosage form and route of administration for treatment of the proposed indication.
[0211] Compounds of the invention intended for pharmaceutical use may be administered as crystalline or amorphous products. They may be obtained, for example, as solid plugs, powders, or films by methods such as precipitation, crystallization, freeze drying, spray drying, or evaporative drying. Microwave or radio frequency drying may be used for this purpose.
[0212] They may be administered alone or in combination with one or more other compounds of the invention or in combination with one or more other drugs (or as any combination thereof). Generally, they will be administered as a formulation in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The term "excipient" is used herein to describe any ingredient other than the compound(s) of the invention. The choice of excipient will to a large extent depend on factors such as the particular mode of administration, the effect of the excipient on solubility and stability, and the nature of the dosage form.
[0213] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the delivery of compounds of the present invention (or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) and methods for their preparation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Such compositions and methods for their preparation may be found, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 19th Edition (Mack Publishing Company, 1995).
[0214] The compounds of the invention (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) may be administered orally. Oral administration may involve swallowing, so that the compound enters the gastrointestinal tract, and/or buccal, lingual, or sublingual administration by which the compound enters the bloodstream directly from the mouth.
[0215] Formulations suitable for oral administration include solid, semi-solid and liquid systems such as tablets; soft or hard capsules containing multi- or nano-particulates, liquids, or powders; lozenges (including liquid-filled); chews; gels; fast-dispersing dosage forms; films; ovules; sprays; and buccal/mucoadhesive patches.
[0216] Liquid formulations include suspensions, solutions, syrups and elixirs. Such formulations may be employed as fillers in soft or hard capsules (made, for example, from gelatin or hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose) and typically comprise a carrier, for example, water, ethanol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, methyl cellulose, or a suitable oil, and one or more emulsifying agents and/or suspending agents. Liquid formulations may also be prepared by the reconstitution of a solid, for example, from a sachet.
[0217] The compounds of the invention may also be used in fast-dissolving, fast-disintegrating dosage forms such as those described by Liang and Chen, Expert Opinion in Therapeutic Patents 2001, 11, 981-986.
[0218] For tablet dosage forms, depending on dose, the drug may make up from 1 weight % to 80 weight % of the dosage form, more typically from 5 weight % to 60 weight % of the dosage form. In addition to the drug, tablets generally contain a disintegrant. Examples of disintegrants include sodium starch glycolate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, calcium carboxymethyl cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, lower alkyl-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, starch, pregelatinized starch and sodium alginate. Generally, the disintegrant will comprise from 1 weight % to 25 weight %, for example, from 5 weight % to 20 weight % of the dosage form. Binders are generally used to impart cohesive qualities to a tablet formulation. Suitable binders include microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, sugars, polyethylene glycol, natural and synthetic gums, polyvinylpyrrolidone, pregelatinized starch, hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Tablets may also contain diluents, such as lactose (monohydrate, spray-dried monohydrate, anhydrous and the like), mannitol, xylitol, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, microcrystalline cellulose, starch and dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate.
[0219] Tablets may also optionally comprise surface active agents, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and polysorbate 80, and glidants such as silicon dioxide and talc. When present, surface active agents may comprise from 0.2 weight % to 5 weight % of the tablet, and glidants may comprise from 0.2 weight % to 1 weight % of the tablet.
[0220] Tablets also generally contain lubricants such as magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, zinc stearate, sodium stearyl fumarate, and mixtures of magnesium stearate with sodium lauryl sulfate. Lubricants generally comprise from 0.25 weight % to 10 weight %, for example, from 0.5 weight % to 3 weight % of the tablet.
[0221] Other possible ingredients include anti-oxidants, colorants, flavoring agents, preservatives and taste-masking agents.
[0222] Exemplary tablets contain up to about 80% drug, from about 10 weight % to about 90 weight % binder, from about 0 weight % to about 85 weight % diluent, from about 2 weight % to about 10 weight % disintegrant, and from about 0.25 weight % to about 10 weight % lubricant.
[0223] Tablet blends may be compressed directly or by roller to form tablets. Tablet blends or portions of blends may alternatively be wet-, dry-, or melt-granulated, melt-congealed, or extruded before tabletting. The final formulation may comprise one or more layers and may be coated or uncoated; it may even be encapsulated.
[0224] The formulation of tablets is discussed in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets, Vol. 1, by H. Lieberman and L. Lachman (Marcel Dekker, New York, 1980).
[0225] Consumable oral films for human or veterinary use are typically pliable water-soluble or water-swellable thin film dosage forms which may be rapidly dissolving or mucoadhesive and typically comprise a compound of Formula I, a film-forming polymer, a binder, a solvent, a humectant, a plasticizer, a stabilizer or emulsifier, a viscosity-modifying agent and a solvent. Some components of the formulation may perform more than one function.
[0226] The compound of Formula I (or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or N-oxides thereof) may be water-soluble or insoluble. A water-soluble compound typically comprises from 1 weight % to 80 weight %, more typically from 20 weight % to 50 weight %, of the solutes. Less soluble compounds may comprise a smaller proportion of the composition, typically up to 30 weight % of the solutes. Alternatively, the compound of Formula I may be in the form of multiparticulate beads.
[0227] The film-forming polymer may be selected from natural polysaccharides, proteins, or synthetic hydrocolloids and is typically present in the range 0.01 to 99 weight %, more typically in the range 30 to 80 weight %.
[0228] Other possible ingredients include anti-oxidants, colorants, flavorings and flavor enhancers, preservatives, salivary stimulating agents, cooling agents, co-solvents (including oils), emollients, bulking agents, anti-foaming agents, surfactants and taste-masking agents.
[0229] Films in accordance with the invention are typically prepared by evaporative drying of thin aqueous films coated onto a peelable backing support or paper. This may be done in a drying oven or tunnel, typically a combined coater dryer, or by freeze-drying or vacuuming.
[0230] Solid formulations for oral administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted and programmed release.
[0231] Suitable modified release formulations for the purposes of the invention are described in US Patent No. 6,106,864. Details of other suitable release technologies such as high energy dispersions and osmotic and coated particles are to be found in Verma et al., Pharmaceutical Technology On-line, 25(2), 1-14 (2001). The use of chewing gum to achieve controlled release is described in WO 00/35298.
[0232] The compounds of the invention (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) may also be administered directly into the bloodstream, into muscle, or into an internal organ. Suitable means for parenteral administration include intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intraventricular, intraurethral, intrasternal, intracranial, intramuscular, intrasynovial and subcutaneous. Suitable devices for parenteral administration include needle (including microneedle) injectors, needle-free injectors and infusion techniques.
[0233] Parenteral formulations are typically aqueous solutions which may contain excipients such as salts, carbohydrates and buffering agents (for example to a pH of from 3 to 9), but, for some applications, they may be more suitably formulated as a sterile non-aqueous solution or as a dried form to be used in conjunction with a suitable vehicle such as sterile, pyrogen-free water.
[0234] The preparation of parenteral formulations under sterile conditions, for example, by lyophilization, may readily be accomplished using standard pharmaceutical techniques well known to those skilled in the art.
[0235] The solubility of compounds of Formula I (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) used in the preparation of parenteral solutions may be increased by the use of appropriate formulation techniques, such as the incorporation of solubility-enhancing agents.
[0236] Formulations for parenteral administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted and programmed release. Thus compounds of the invention may be formulated as a suspension or as a solid, semi-solid, or thixotropic liquid for administration as an implanted depot providing modified release of the active compound. Examples of such formulations include drug-coated stents and semi-solids and suspensions comprising drug-loaded poly(DL-lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres.
[0237] The compounds of the invention (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) may also be administered topically, (intra)dermally, or transdermally to the skin or mucosa. Typical formulations for this purpose include gels, hydrogels, lotions, solutions, creams, ointments, dusting powders, dressings, foams, films, skin patches, wafers, implants, sponges, fibers, bandages and microemulsions. Liposomes may also be used. Typical carriers include alcohol, water, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, glycerin, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol. Penetration enhancers may be incorporated. See e.g., Finnin and Morgan, J. Pharm. Sci. 1999, 88, 955-958.
[0238] Other means of topical administration include delivery by electroporation, iontophoresis, phonophoresis, sonophoresis and microneedle or needle-free (e.g., Powderject™, Bioject™, etc.) injection.
[0239] Formulations for topical administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted and programmed release.
[0240] The compounds of the invention (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) can also be administered intranasally or by inhalation, typically in the form of a dry powder (either alone; as a mixture, for example, in a dry blend with lactose; or as a mixed component particle, for example, mixed with phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine) from a dry powder inhaler, as an aerosol spray from a pressurized container, pump, spray, atomizer (for example an atomizer using electrohydrodynamics to produce a fine mist), or nebulizer, with or without the use of a suitable propellant, such as 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane or 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, or as nasal drops. For intranasal use, the powder may comprise a bioadhesive agent, for example, chitosan or cyclodextrin.
[0241] The pressurized container, pump, spray, atomizer, or nebulizer contains a solution or suspension of the compound(s) of the invention comprising, for example, ethanol, aqueous ethanol, or a suitable alternative agent for dispersing, solubilizing, or extending release of the active, a propellant(s) as solvent and an optional surfactant, such as sorbitan trioleate, oleic acid, or an oligolactic acid.
[0242] Prior to use in a dry powder or suspension formulation, the drug product is micronized to a size suitable for delivery by inhalation (typically less than 5 microns). This may be achieved by any appropriate comminuting method, such as spiral jet milling, fluid bed jet milling, supercritical fluid processing to form nanoparticles, high pressure homogenization, or spray drying.
[0243] Capsules (made, for example, from gelatin or hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose), blisters and cartridges for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated to contain a powder mix of the compound of the invention, a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch and a performance modifier such as L-leucine, mannitol, or magnesium stearate. The lactose may be anhydrous or in the form of the monohydrate. Other suitable excipients include dextran, glucose, maltose, sorbitol, xylitol, fructose, sucrose and trehalose.
[0244] A suitable solution formulation for use in an atomizer using electrohydrodynamics to produce a fine mist may contain from 1 µg to 20 mg of the compound of the invention per actuation and the actuation volume may vary from 1 µL to 100 µL. A typical formulation may comprise a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, propylene glycol, sterile water, ethanol and sodium chloride. Alternative solvents which may be used instead of propylene glycol include glycerol and polyethylene glycol.
[0245] Suitable flavors, such as menthol and levomenthol, or sweeteners, such as saccharin or saccharin sodium, may be added to those formulations of the invention intended for inhaled/intranasal administration.
[0246] Formulations for inhaled/intranasal administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release using, for example, PGLA. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted and programmed release.
[0247] In the case of dry powder inhalers and aerosols, the dosage unit is determined by means of a valve which delivers a metered amount. Units in accordance with the invention are typically arranged to administer a metered dose or "puff' containing from 0.01 to 100 mg of the compound of Formula I. The overall daily dose will typically be in the range 1 µg to 200 mg, which may be administered in a single dose or, more usually, as divided doses throughout the day.
[0248] The compounds of the invention (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) may be administered rectally or vaginally, for example, in the form of a suppository, pessary, or enema. Cocoa butter is a traditional suppository base, but various alternatives may be used as appropriate.
[0249] Formulations for rectal/vaginal administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted and programmed release.
[0250] The compounds of the invention (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) may also be administered directly to the eye or ear, typically in the form of drops of a micronized suspension or solution in isotonic, pH-adjusted, sterile saline. Other formulations suitable for ocular and aural administration include ointments, gels, biodegradable (e.g., absorbable gel sponges, collagen) and non-biodegradable (e.g., silicone) implants, wafers, lenses and particulate or vesicular systems, such as niosomes or liposomes. A polymer such as crossed-linked polyacrylic acid, polyvinylalcohol, hyaluronic acid, a cellulosic polymer, for example, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, or methyl cellulose, or a heteropolysaccharide polymer, for example, gelan gum, may be incorporated together with a preservative, such as benzalkonium chloride. Such formulations may also be delivered by iontophoresis.
[0251] Formulations for ocular/aural administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted, or programmed release.
[0252] The compounds of the invention (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) may be combined with soluble macromolecular entities, such as cyclodextrin and suitable derivatives thereof or polyethylene glycol-containing polymers, in order to improve their solubility, dissolution rate, taste-masking, bioavailability and/or stability for use in any of the aforementioned modes of administration.
[0253] Drug-cyclodextrin complexes, for example, are found to be generally useful for most dosage forms and administration routes. Both inclusion and non-inclusion complexes may be used. As an alternative to direct complexation with the drug, the cyclodextrin may be used as an auxiliary additive, i.e., as a carrier, diluent, or solubilizer. Most commonly used for these purposes are alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins, examples of which may be found in International Patent Applications Nos. WO 91/11172, WO 94/02518 and WO 98/55148.
[0254] Since the present invention has an aspect that relates to the treatment of the disease/conditions described herein with a combination of active ingredients which may be administered separately, the invention also relates to combining separate pharmaceutical compositions in kit form. The kit comprises two separate pharmaceutical compositions: a compound of Formula I, a prodrug thereof, or a salt of such compound or prodrug; and a second compound as described above. The kit comprises means for containing the separate compositions such as a container, a divided bottle or a divided foil packet. Typically the kit comprises directions for the administration of the separate components. The kit form is particularly advantageous when the separate components are for example administered in different dosage forms (e.g., oral and parenteral), are administered at different dosage intervals, or when titration of the individual components of the combination is desired by the prescribing physician.
[0255] An example of such a kit is a so-called blister pack. Blister packs are well known in the packaging industry and are being widely used for the packaging of pharmaceutical unit dosage forms (tablets, capsules, and the like). Blister packs generally consist of a sheet of relatively stiff material covered with a foil of a transparent plastic material. During the packaging process recesses are formed in the plastic foil. The recesses have the size and shape of the tablets or capsules to be packed. Next, the tablets or capsules are placed in the recesses and the sheet of relatively stiff material is sealed against the plastic foil at the face of the foil which is opposite from the direction in which the recesses were formed. As a result, the tablets or capsules are sealed in the recesses between the plastic foil and the sheet. In some embodiments, the strength of the sheet is such that the tablets or capsules can be removed from the blister pack by manually applying pressure on the recesses whereby an opening is formed in the sheet at the place of the recess. The tablet or capsule can then be removed via said opening.
[0256] It may be desirable to provide a memory aid on the kit, e.g., in the form of numbers next to the tablets or capsules whereby the numbers correspond with the days of the regimen on which the tablets or capsules so specified should be ingested. Another example of such a memory aid is a calendar printed on the card, e.g., as follows "First Week, Monday, Tuesday, etc.... Second Week, Monday, Tuesday,..." etc. Other variations of memory aids will be readily apparent. A "daily dose" can be a single tablet or capsule or several pills or capsules to be taken on a given day. Also, a daily dose of Formula I compound can consist of one tablet or capsule while a daily dose of the second compound can consist of several tablets or capsules and vice versa. The memory aid should reflect this.
[0257] In another specific embodiment of the invention, a dispenser designed to dispense the daily doses one at a time in the order of their intended use is provided. For example, the dispenser is equipped with a memory aid, so as to further facilitate compliance with the regimen. An example of such a memory aid is a mechanical counter which indicates the number of daily doses that has been dispensed. Another example of such a memory aid is a battery-powered micro-chip memory coupled with a liquid crystal readout, or audible reminder signal which, for example, reads out the date that the last daily dose has been taken and/or reminds one when the next dose is to be taken.
[0258] The invention will be described in greater detail by way of specific examples. The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner. Those of skill in the art will readily recognize a variety of non-critical parameters that can be changed or modified to yield essentially the same results. Additional compounds within the scope of this invention may be prepared using the methods illustrated in these Examples, either alone or in combination with techniques generally known in the art. In the following Examples and Preparations, "DMSO" means dimethyl sulfoxide, "N" where referring to concentration means Normal, "M" means molar, "mL" means milliliter, "mmol" means millimoles, "µmol" means micromoles, "eq." means equivalent, "°C" means degrees Celsius, "MHz" means megahertz, "HPLC" means high-performance liquid chromatography.
EXAMPLES
[0259] The following illustrate the synthesis of various compounds of the present invention. Additional compounds within the scope of this invention may be prepared using the methods illustrated in these Examples, either alone or in combination with techniques generally known in the art.
[0260] Experiments were generally carried out under inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon), particularly in cases where oxygen- or moisture-sensitive reagents or intermediates were employed. Commercial solvents and reagents were generally used without further purification. Anhydrous solvents were employed where appropriate, generally AcroSeal® products from Acros Organics or DriSolv® products from EMD Chemicals. In other cases, commercial solvents were passed through columns packed with 4Å molecular sieves, until the following QC standards for water were attained: a) <100 ppm for dichloromethane, toluene, N,N-dimethylformamide and tetrahydrofuran; b) <180 ppm for methanol, ethanol, 1,4-dioxane and diisopropylamine. For very sensitive reactions, solvents were further treated with metallic sodium, calcium hydride or molecular sieves, and distilled just prior to use. Products were generally dried under vacuum before being carried on to further reactions or submitted for biological testing. Mass spectrometry data is reported from either liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) instrumentation. Chemical shifts for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data are expressed in parts per million (ppm, δ) referenced to residual peaks from the deuterated solvents employed. In some examples, chiral separations were carried out to separate enantiomers or diastereomers of certain compounds of the invention (in some examples, the separated enantiomers are designated as ENT-1 and ENT-2, or the separated diastereomers are designated as DIAST-1 and DIAST-2, according to their order of elution). In some examples, the optical rotation of an enantiomer was measured using a polarimeter. According to its observed rotation data (or its specific rotation data), an enantiomer with a clockwise rotation was designated as the (+)-enantiomer and an enantiomer with a counter-clockwise rotation was designated as the (-)-enantiomer. Racemic compounds are indicated by the presence of (+/-) adjacent to the structure; in these cases, indicated stereochemistry represents the relative (rather than absolute) configuration of the compound's substituents.
[0261] Reactions proceeding through detectable intermediates were generally followed by LCMS, and allowed to proceed to full conversion prior to addition of subsequent reagents. For syntheses referencing procedures in other Examples or Methods, reaction conditions (reaction time and temperature) may vary. In general, reactions were followed by thin-layer chromatography or mass spectrometry, and subjected to work-up when appropriate. Purifications may vary between experiments: in general, solvents and the solvent ratios used for eluents/gradients were chosen to provide appropriate Rfs or retention times.
[0262] For clarity purposes, the stereochemistry of the substituents on the 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl skeleton in Examples and intermediates herein is indicated by using Chemical Abstracts nomenclature. The stereochemistry of the other compounds in the Examples and intermediates herein is indicated by using IUPAC nomenclature.

[0275] Triethylamine (1.10 g, 10.9 mmol) was slowly added to a 0 °C solution of C10 (from the previous step, 1.27 g, ≤2.17 mmol) in acetonitrile (20 mL), whereupon the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. Compound C2 [from step 2, as the crude reaction mixture in acetonitrile (30 mL); ∼1.6 g, 3.4 mmol] was added to the 0 °C reaction mixture, which was then stirred at 28 °C for 18 hours. It was then cooled in an ice-water bath and slowly treated with a second batch of C2 (∼0.74 g, 1.6 mmol). After stirring for 18 hours at 25 °C, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo; the residue was purified via chromatography on silica gel (Gradient: 0% to 30% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to provide the product as a white solid.

Step 1. Synthesis of tert-butyl (3R)-3-[(phenylsulfonyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (C48) and tert-butyl (3S)-3-[(phenylsulfonyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (C49).
[0341] Reaction of tert-butyl 3-amino-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate with benzenesulfonyl chloride was carried out as described for synthesis of C32 from C31 in Example 7. The racemic product was purified using silica gel chromatography (Gradient: 20% to 50% ethyl acetate in heptane) to afford a white solid (2.88 g), which was then separated into its component enantiomers via supercritical fluid chromatography [Column: Phenomenex Lux Cellulose-3, 5 µm; Eluent: 7.5% (1:1 methanol / acetonitrile) in carbon dioxide]. The first-eluting product, obtained as a tacky white solid that exhibited a negative (-) rotation, was designated as C48. Yield: 1.35 g, 3.40 mmol, 45%. LCMS m/z 395.5 [M-H+]. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.90-7.86 (m, 2H), 7.64-7.59 (m, 1H), 7.57-7.52 (m, 2H), 4.81 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 4.00-3.91 (m, 1H), 3.81 (dd, J=9.7, 5.7 Hz, 1H), 3.59-3.48 (m, 3H), 3.30-3.19 (m, 2H), 1.97 (dd, J=13.4, 7.7 Hz, 1H), 1.67-1.49 (m, 4H), 1.48-1.38 (m, 1H), 1.44 (s, 9H).
[0342] The second-eluting product, obtained as a tacky white solid that exhibited a positive (+) rotation, was designated as C49. Yield: 1.15 g, 2.90 mmol, 38%. LCMS m/z 395.5 [M-H+]. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.90-7.86 (m, 2H), 7.64-7.59 (m, 1H), 7.57-7.52 (m, 2H), 4.79 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 4.00-3.91 (m, 1H), 3.81 (dd, J=9.7, 5.7 Hz, 1H), 3.59-3.48 (m, 3H), 3.30-3.19 (m, 2H), 1.97 (dd, J=13.4, 7.7 Hz, 1H), 1.67-1.49 (m, 4H), 1.47-1.38 (m, 1H), 1.44 (s, 9H).
[0343] The absolute configurations shown were established as follows: a portion of this batch of C48 was recrystallized from dichloromethane / tert-butyl methyl ether, and its absolute configuration was determined via single crystal X-ray structure determination: Single-crystal X-ray structural determination of C48
[0344] Data collection was performed on a Bruker APEX diffractometer at room temperature. Data collection consisted of omega and phi scans.
[0345] The structure was solved by direct methods using SHELX software suite in the space group P212121. The structure was subsequently refined by the full-matrix least squares method. All non-hydrogen atoms were found and refined using anisotropic displacement parameters.
[0346] The hydrogen atom located on nitrogen was found from the Fourier difference map and refined with distances restrained. The remaining hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and were allowed to ride on their carrier atoms. The final refinement included isotropic displacement parameters for all hydrogen atoms.
[0347] Analysis of the absolute structure using likelihood methods (Hooft, 2008) was performed using PLATON (Spek, 2010). The results indicate that the absolute structure has been correctly assigned. The method calculates that the probability that the structure is correct is 100.0. The Hooft parameter is reported as 0.015 with an esd of 0.09.
[0348] The final R-index was 4.2%. A final difference Fourier revealed no missing or misplaced electron density.
[0349] Pertinent crystal, data collection and refinement information is summarized in Table 1. Atomic coordinates, bond lengths, bond angles, and displacement parameters are listed in Tables 2 - 5.

Step 2. Synthesis of tert-butyl (3R)-3-[methyl(phenylsulfonyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (C50).
[0352] To a solution of C48 (1.5 g, 3.8 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide at 0 °C was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil; 227 mg, 5.67 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, whereupon iodomethane (1.61 g, 11.3 mmol) was added, and stirring was continued for 1 hour. Saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added, and the aqueous layer was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to provide the product. Yield: 1.53 g, 3.73 mmol, 98%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.80-7.76 (m, 2H), 7.63-7.58 (m, 1H), 7.56-7.50 (m, 2H), 4.73-4.64 (m, 1H), 3.78 (dd, J=10.2, 7.4 Hz, 1H), 3.64-3.51 (m, 2H), 3.55 (dd, J=10.2, 4.9 Hz, 1H), 3.27-3.13 (m, 2H), 2.76 (s, 3H), 1.87 (dd, J=13.5, 9.1 Hz, 1H), 1.63-1.54 (m, 3H), 1.44 (dd, J=13.5, 6.8 Hz, 1H), 1.43 (s, 9H), 1.37 (br ddd, J=13, 10, 4 Hz, 1H).
Step 3. Synthesis of (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]propan-2-yl (3R)-3-[methyl(phenylsulfonyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (C51).

24. In this case, the final deprotection was effected with hydrogen chloride in 1,4-dioxane, rather than trifluoroacetic acid.

After the reaction mixture had been stirred at 0 °C for 30 minutes, a solution of bromoethane (27.5 mg, 0.252 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (0.1 mL) was added, and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 25 °C for 16 hours. It was subsequently cooled to 0 °C, and additional sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil; 15 mg, 0.38 mmol) was added; stirring was continued at 0 °C for 30 minutes, whereupon a solution of bromoethane (20 mg, 0.18 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (0.1 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 25 °C for 16 hours. Water (30 mL) was added, and the resulting mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 30 mL).

Alternate Synthesis of Example 93
(2R)-1,1,1-Trifluoro-3-hydroxypropan-2-yl(3R)-3-[(cyclopropylsulfonyl)(methyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (93)
Step 1. Synthesis of tert-butyl (3R)-3-amino-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (C93).
[0449] A pH 8.0 buffer solution was prepared, containing 0.1 M aqueous potassium phosphate and 2 mM magnesium chloride. A stock solution of substrate was prepared as follows: tert-butyl 3-oxo-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (18.0 g, 70.5 mmol) was dissolved in water containing 4% dimethyl sulfoxide (14.4 mL). Warming and stirring were required for dissolution, and the resulting solution was maintained at 40 °C. Propan-2-amine, hydrochloride salt (16.8 g, 176 mmol) was added to a mixture of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate monohydrate (1.87 g, 7.05 mmol) and the pH 8.0 buffer (300 mL). The resulting pH was approximately 6.5; the pH was adjusted to 8 via addition of aqueous potassium hydroxide solution (6 M; approximately 4 mL). The stock solution of substrate was added via syringe, in 5 mL portions, resulting in a suspension, still at pH 8. Codex® ATA-200 transaminase (batch #11099; 1.4 g) was almost completely dissolved in pH 8 buffer (20 mL), and poured into the reaction mixture. Additional pH 8 buffer (25.6 mL) was used to ensure complete transfer of the enzyme. The reaction mixture was stirred at 35 °C with a nitrogen sweep (32 mL/minute) through a needle placed approximately 0.5 cm above the reaction surface. Due to difficulties in stirring, vacuum (220 Torr, 300 mbar) was applied after 3 hours, to remove the acetone generated by the transamination reaction. The suspended solids were broken up manually, which improved the stirring of the reaction mixture. After 26 hours, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, and aqueous hydrochloric acid (6 M, 5 mL) was added, to bring the pH from 8 to 6.5. After addition of ethyl acetate (200 mL), the mixture was vigorously stirred for 5 minutes and then filtered through diatomaceous earth (43 g; this filter aid had been slurried in water prior to being introduced into the filter funnel. The water was then removed, providing a tightly packed bed). The filter pad was washed sequentially with water (120 mL) and ethyl acetate (100 mL), and the aqueous layer of the combined filtrates was adjusted to pH 9 - 9.5 with aqueous potassium hydroxide solution (6 M; approximately 10 mL). The aqueous layer was then treated with dichloromethane (200 mL), and the resulting mixture was vigorously stirred for 5 minutes before being filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth. The filter pad was washed with dichloromethane (100 mL), and the aqueous layer of the combined filtrates was extracted twice with dichloromethane, in the same manner as that described above, with adjustment of the pH to 9 -10 (this required approximately 2 mL of the 6 M aqueous potassium hydroxide solution in both cases). All of the dichloromethane extracts were combined and dried over sodium sulfate with vigorous stirring. Filtration and concentration in vacuo afforded the product as an oily yellow solid (14.76 g). A fourth extraction was carried out in the same manner, but in this case the aqueous layer was adjusted to a pH of >10. The product obtained from this extraction was a white solid (1.9 g). Combined yield: 16.61 g, 64.79 mmol, 92%. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.95 (dd, J=9.0, 5.6 Hz, 1H), 3.69-3.63 (m, 1H), 3.62-3.52 (m, 3H), 3.38-3.27 (m, 2H), 2.6-2.2 (v br s, 2H), 2.07 (dd, J=13.0, 7.6 Hz, 1H), 1.78-1.71 (m, 1H), 1.69-1.56 (m, 2H), 1.55-1.47 (m, 2H), 1.45 (s, 9H).
Step 2. Synthesis of tert-butyl(3R)-3-amino-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate, (2R)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylate salt (C94).
[0450] A solution of C93 (16.61 g, 64.79 mmol) in ethanol (400 mL) was heated to 63 °C and treated portion-wise with (2R)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (7.78 g, 60.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was then removed from the heating bath, and allowed to cool overnight. The mixture was cooled to 12 °C in an ice bath, and filtered. The collected solids were washed with cold ethanol (2 x 50 mL) and then with diethyl ether (100 mL), affording the product as a pale yellow solid (19.2 g). The combined filtrates were concentrated in vacuo, with removal of approximately 400 mL of solvents. A thin line of solid formed around the inner surface of the flask. This was swirled back into the remaining solvents; diethyl ether (100 mL) was added, and the mixture was cooled in an ice bath with stirring. After approximately 15 minutes, the mixture was filtered and the collected solids were washed with diethyl ether (100 mL), affording additional product as a yellow solid (1.5 g). Combined yield: 20.7 g, 53.7 mmol, 89%. 1H NMR (500 MHz, D2O) δ 4.16 (dd, J=8.9, 5.9 Hz, 1H), 4.11 (dd, half of ABX pattern, J=10.4, 5.8 Hz, 1H), 4.09-4.03 (m, 1H), 3.93 (dd, J=10.3, 3.1 Hz, 1H), 3.61-3.46 (m, 2H), 3.46-3.30 (m, 2H), 2.53-2.36 (m, 4H), 2.06-1.97 (m, 1H), 1.85 (dd, J=14.1, 4.6 Hz, 1H), 1.82-1.72 (m, 2H), 1.72-1.65 (m, 1H), 1.59 (ddd, half of ABXY pattern, J=18, 9, 4.5 Hz, 1H), 1.43 (s, 9H).
Conversion of C94 to C48, for assessment of absolute stereochemistry
[0451] A small sample of C94 was derivatized via reaction with benzenesulfonyl chloride and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution for 1 hour at 40 °C. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the solvent was removed from the extract under a stream of nitrogen. Supercritical fluid chromatographic analysis (Column: Chiral Technologies Chiralcel OJ-H, 5 µm; Mobile phase A: carbon dioxide; Mobile phase B: methanol; Gradient: 5% to 60% B) revealed the product to have an enantiomeric excess of >99%. Injection under the same conditions of samples of C48 and C49 established the derivatization product as identical to C48, the absolute configuration of which was determined via X-ray crystallographic analysis (see above).
Step 3. Synthesis of tert-butyl(3R)-3-[(cyclopropylsulfonyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (C95).
[0452] Cyclopropanesulfonyl chloride (56.8 mg, 0.404 mmol) and triethylamine (136 mg, 1.34 mmol) were added to a suspension of C94 (100 mg, 0.26 mmol) in dichloromethane (1 mL) at 16 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 10 °C for 14 hours, whereupon it was concentrated in vacuo and combined with material from a similar reaction carried out using C94 (30 mg, 78 µmol). The resulting mixture was purified via silica gel chromatography (Gradient: 0% to 15% methanol in dichloromethane) to provide the product as a yellow gum. Yield: 90 mg, 0.25 mmol, 74%. LCMS m/z 383.3 [M+Na+].
Step 4. Synthesis of tert-butyl (3R)-3-[(cyclopropylsulfonyl)(methyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (C96).
[0453] To a 0 °C suspension of C95 (90 mg, 0.25 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL) was added sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil; 20 mg, 0.50 mmol), and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 30 minutes. lodomethane (53.2 mg, 0.375 mmol) was added at 0 °C, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 15 °C for 2 hours. It was then treated with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (40 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 30 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel chromatography (Gradient: 0% to 50% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) provided the product as a colorless gum. Yield: 78 mg, 0.21 mmol, 84%. LCMS m/z 397.3 [M+Na+].

[0454] Conversion of C96 to the product was carried out using the method described for synthesis of C89 from C88 in Example 92. The product was obtained as a colorless gum. Yield: 67 mg, 0.12 mmol, 57%. LCMS m/z 573.0 [M+Na+].

[0455] Conversion of C97 (67 mg, 0.12 mmol) to the product was carried out using the method described for synthesis of 93 from C91 in Example 93. In this case, purification was effected using reversed phase HPLC (Column: Agela Durashell C18, 5 µm; Mobile phase A: water containing 0.225% formic acid; Mobile phase B: acetonitrile; Gradient: 35% to 55% B), affording the product as a brown gum.

(2R)-1,1,1-Trifluoro-3-hydroxypropan-2-yl 3-phenyl-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate [From C101, ENT-2] (95)
Step 1. Synthesis of tert-butyl 4-(2,3-dibromopropyl)-4-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (C98).
[0457] This reaction was carried out in two identical batches. A solution of tert-butyl 4-hydroxy-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (209 g, 0.866 mol) in dichloromethane (1.2 L) was cooled in a cold water bath. A solution of bromine (152 g, 0.951 mol) in dichloromethane (250 mL) was added at such a rate that the color of the reaction mixture did not become intense. At the conclusion of the addition, an aqueous solution containing sodium thiosulfate and sodium bicarbonate was added to the reaction mixture, and stirring was continued until the mixture had completely decolorized. At this point, the two batches were combined. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 400 mL), and the combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (2 x 200 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to afford the product as a red gum. Yield: 600 g, 1.5 mol, 87%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.43-4.33 (m, 1H), 3.96-3.74 (m, 2H), 3.91 (dd, J=10.3, 4.0 Hz, 1H), 3.66 (dd, J=10.0, 9.8 Hz, 1H), 3.27-3.13 (m, 2H), 2.47 (dd, half of ABX pattern, J=15.8, 2.8 Hz, 1H), 2.13 (dd, half of ABX pattern, J=15.7, 8.9 Hz, 1H), 1.78-1.68 (m, 2H), 1.65-1.53 (m, 2H, assumed; partially obscured by water peak), 1.47 (s, 9H).
Step 2. Synthesis of tert-butyl 3-bromo-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (C99).
[0458] Potassium carbonate (119 g, 861 mmol) was added to a cooled solution of C98 (230 g, 573 mmol) in methanol (1.5 L), and the reaction mixture was stirred at 10 °C to 15 °C for 16 hours. The crude reaction mixture was combined with the crude reaction mixtures from two similar reactions using C98 (350 g, 873 mmol; and 20 g, 50 mmol) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, and the resulting red oil was recrystallized from petroleum ether (150 mL) at 0 °C to provide a light yellow solid (360 g). This was subjected to silica gel chromatography (Eluent: dichloromethane), and the purified material was recrystallized from petroleum ether (120 mL) and washed with petroleum ether (3 x 40 mL) to afford the product as a white solid (180 g). The mother liquors from recrystallization were concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by silica gel chromatography (Gradient: 0% to 20% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether).

[0497] A solution of tert-butyl 2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (36 mg, 0.15 mmol) in pyridine (0.4 mL) was added to a solution of benzenesulfonyl chloride (39.7 mg, 0.225 mmol) and N,N-dimethylpyridin-4-amine (0.25 mg, 2.0 µmol) in pyridine (0.4 mL), and the reaction mixture was shaken at room temperature for 2 days. The pyridine was removed in vacuo, and the residue was partitioned between half-saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (1.5 mL) and ethyl acetate (2.4 mL). After the mixture had been vortexed, the organic layer was eluted through a solid phase extraction cartridge (6 mL) charged with sodium sulfate (∼1 g); this extraction procedure was repeated twice, and the combined eluents were concentrated in vacuo. The residue was treated with a mixture of 1,2-dichloroethane and trifluoroacetic acid (1:1; 1 mL), shaken at room temperature for 2.5 hours, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The remaining material was dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (2.4 mL), vortexed, and loaded onto an SCX (strong cation exchanger) solid phase extraction cartridge (Silicycle, 6 mL, 1 g); the vial was rinsed with a mixture of methanol and 1,2-dichloroethane (1:1; 2 x 2.4 mL). The cartridge was eluted with methanol (5 mL), followed by a solution of triethylamine in methanol (1 M, 7.5 mL) to elute the deprotected intermediate. Fractions containing the desired material were concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was azeotroped with toluene (2 x 1 mL) to remove trace methanol. The resulting material was dissolved in dichloromethane (0.5 mL).

Sufficient tetrahydrofuran was added to bring the total volume to 98 mL, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. A portion of this crude C2 solution (1.0 mL, 0.15 mmol of C2 and 3 mmol of triethylamine) was added to the deprotected amine solution prepared above, and the reaction mixture was shaken at room temperature for 5 days.

36. Prior to the final deprotection, intermediate (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]propan-2-yl 3-{[(3-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]amino}-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate was deprotonated with potassium tert-butoxide and methylated with dimethyl sulfate to afford (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]propan-2-yl 3-{[(3-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl](methyl)amino}-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate.
37. Examples 108 and 109 were synthesized as a mixture and separated into the component diastereomers using supercritical fluid chromatography (Column: Phenomenex Lux Amylose-2, 5 µm; Mobile phase: 87.5:12.5 carbon dioxide / 2-propanol). Example 108 was the first-eluting diastereomer, and Example 109 was the second-eluting diastereomer.
38. Examples 110 and 111 were synthesized as a mixture and separated into the component diastereomers using supercritical fluid chromatography (Column: Phenomenex Lux Amylose-2, 5 µm; Mobile phase: 85:15 carbon dioxide / 2-propanol). Example 110 was the first-eluting diastereomer, and Example 111 was the second-eluting diastereomer.
39. In this case, the 2 diastereomers of the product were not separated.
40. Prior to the final deprotection, intermediate (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]propan-2-yl 3-[(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate was deprotonated with sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and methylated with iodomethane, affording (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]propan-2-yl 3-[methyl(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate.
41. In this case, the sulfonylation of C73 was effected using pyridine in tetrahydrofuran, rather than aqueous sodium bicarbonate in dichloromethane.
42. The requisite tert-butyl 3-[methyl(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylsulfonyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate was synthesized via potassium carbonate-mediated reaction of C99 with tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-sulfonamide. The resulting tert-butyl 3-[(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylsulfonyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate was then methylated using sodium hydride and iodomethane.
43. Prior to the final deprotection, intermediate (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]propan-2-yl 3-[methyl(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylsulfonyl)amino]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate was separated into its component diastereomers via supercritical fluid chromatography (Column: Chiral Technologies Chiralcel OD, 5 µm; Mobile phase A: carbon dioxide; Mobile phase B: 0.1% ammonium hydroxide in 2-propanol; Gradient: 30% to 35% B). The first-eluting diastereomer was assigned as DIAST-1, and the second-eluting diastereomer as DIAST-2.
44. Reaction of C99 with [3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]boronic acid was carried out using the method described for synthesis of the mixture of C100 and C101 from C99 in Example 95. The product was deprotected with hydrogen chloride in 1,4-dioxane and dichloromethane to afford the requisite 3-[3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane, hydrochloride salt.
45. Reaction of tert-butyl 3-oxo-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate with 3-chlorophenylmagnesium bromide provided tert-butyl 3-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate. This was subjected to triethylsilane, boron trifluoride diethyl etherate and trifluoroacetic acid, providing partial deoxygenation, followed by hydrogenation in methanol and acetic acid, to afford 3-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane.
46. In this case, the first step was an amide formation, rather than a sulfonamide formation. tert-Butyl 2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate was reacted with the appropriate carboxylic acid using 2-[2-oxo-1(2H)-pyridyl]-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TPTU) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine in N,N-dimethylformamide.
47. tert-Butyl 3-hydroxy-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate was deprotonated with potassium tert-butoxide and reacted with 2-chloropyridine to afford the requisite tert-butyl 3-(pyridin-2-yloxy)-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate.
48. The mixture of Examples 129 and 130 was separated into its component diastereomers using reversed phase HPLC (Column: Phenomenex Luna C18, 5 µm; Mobile phase A: water containing 0.225% formic acid; Mobile phase B: acetonitrile; Gradient: 25% to 45% B). The first-eluting diastereomer was Example 129, and the second-eluting diastereomer was Example 130.
49. Reaction of tert-butyl 3-hydroxy-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate with sodium hydride and benzyl bromide afforded tert-butyl 3-(benzyloxy)-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate, which was deprotected with hydrochloric acid to provide the requisite 3-(benzyloxy)-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane.
50. tert-Butyl 2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate was converted to (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]propan-2-yl 2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate using the method described for synthesis of C73 from tert-butyl 3-amino-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate in Example 27. In this case, the palladium catalyst employed for the final step was tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0).
51. Reaction of (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]propan-2-yl 2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate (see footnote 50) with 4-nitrophenyl pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (see E. Bridgeman and N. C. O. Tomkinson, Synlett 2006, 243-246) in the presence of N,N-diisopropylethylamine provided (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]propan-2-yl 2-(pyrrolidin-1-ylcarbonyl)-2,8-diazaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate, which was deprotected with trifluoroacetic acid to afford Example 133.
52. Compound C125 was reacted with the appropriate carboxylic acid using 2,4,6-tripropyl-1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriphosphinane 2,4,6-trioxide and N,N-diisopropylethylamine in 1,4-dioxane. The resulting product was deprotected with trifluoroacetic acid to afford the Example.
53. Conditions for analytical HPLC. Column: Waters XBridge C18, 2.1 x 50 mm, 5 µm; Mobile phase A: 0.05% ammonium hydroxide in water; Mobile phase B: acetonitrile; Gradient: 5% B for 0.5 minutes; 5% to 100% B over 2.9 minutes; 100% B for 0.8 minutes; Flow rate: 0.8 mL/minute.
54. In this case, C79 was synthesized from C50, via deprotection with p-toluenesulfonic acid and conversion of the resulting amine to C79 using the method described for synthesis of C84 from C85 in Alternate Synthesis of Example 32.
55. In this case, the final product did not precipitate out of the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was therefore concentrated in vacuo; the residue was dissolved in hot methanol, filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure, and crystallized from methanol / tert-butyl methyl ether to afford Example 148.
56. An aqueous solution of Example 91 was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid at 0 °C. After 30 minutes at room temperature, the reaction mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford the requisite (neutral) phosphate of Example 91.
57. In this case, the final product did not precipitate out of the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was therefore concentrated in vacuo; the residue was dissolved in hot methanol, cooled to 0 °C and treated with tert-butyl methyl ether. Filtration afforded Example 149.
58. Using the method described in Example 11, C125 was converted to (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-hydroxypropan-2-yl (3R)-3-{[(4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl](methyl)amino}-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate. Phosphate formation, using the chemistry employed for conversion of 15 to C79 in Example 30, then provided the requisite (2R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(phosphonooxy)propan-2-yl (3R)-3-{[(4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl](methyl)amino}-1-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-carboxylate.
59. In this case, after the reaction mixture had been heated at 40 °C, it was slowly treated with tert-butyl methyl ether (3 mL). After the suspension had cooled to room temperature and then to 0 °C, it was filtered to afford Example 150.
Example AA: MAGL and FAAH Enzymatic assays
[0508] Assessment of MAGL inhibition utilizes human recombinant Monoacylglycerol Lipase and the fluorogenic substrate 7-hydroxycoumarinyl arachidonate (7-HCA, Biomol ST-502). 400 nL of a test compound at decreasing concentration (ranging from 150 µM down to 1.5 nM) was spotted into a 384-well back plate (PerkinElmer, 6007279) using a Labcyte Echo, followed by addition of 10 µL of MAGL enzyme in assay buffer (50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.1% Triton X-100 and 25% glycerin). An equal volume of 7-HCA in assay buffer with 10% DMSO was added either immediately (T = 0 min) or after a 30 minute incubation (T = 30 min) to initiate the reaction. The final concentration of MAGL enzyme was 88 pM and 7-HCA substrate was 5 µM. After these dilutions, the final concentration of the test compound ranged from 3 µM to 0.03 nM. The reaction was allowed to progress for 60 minutes, after which the plate was read at an Ex/Em of 340/465. Percent inhibitions were calculated based on control wells containing no compound (0% inhibition) and a control compound (e.g., a MAGL inhibitor whose activity is known or was previously reported in the literature, such as one with about 100% inhibition). IC50 values were generated based on a four parameter fit model using ABASE software from IDBS. See e.g., Wang, Y. et al., "A Fluorescence-Based Assay for Monoacylglycerol Lipase Compatible with Inhibitor Screening," Assay and Drug Development Technologies, 2008, Vol. 6 (3) pp 387-393 (reporting an assay for measuring MAGL activity).
[0509] To measure MAGL inactivation, the same protocol for the (T = 0 min) MAGL inhibition IC50 assay was performed with data collected every minute to acquire enzyme progress curves at decreasing concentrations of compound. Kobs values were calculated from this data and kinact/Kl ratios were determined from a plot of Kobs values vs. compound concentrations.
[0510] Assessment of FAAH inhibition utilizes human recombinant FAAH and the fluorescent substrate, Arachidonoyl-AMC. 400 nL of a test compound at decreasing concentrations was spotted into a 384-well back plate (PerkinElmer, 6007279) using a Labcyte Echo, followed by addition of 10 µl of FAAH enzyme (Cayman 10010183) in assay buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 9.0, 1 mM EDTA). After a 30 minute incubation at room temperature, 10 µL of Arachidonyl-AMCA was added in assay buffer with 16% DMSO. Final concentration of FAAH enzyme was 0.0125 Units and AAMCA substrate was used at the Km of 5 µM. After these dilutions, the final concentration of the test compound ranged from 3 µM to 0.03 nM. The reaction was allowed to progress for 60 minutes, after which the plate was read on a Molecular Devices FlexStation reader at an Ex/Em of 355/460. Percent inhibitions were calculated based on controls wells containing either no compound (0% inhibition) or a control compound (e.g., an FAAH inhibitor whose activity is known or was previously reported in the literature, such as one with about 100% inhibition). IC50 values were generated based on a four parameter fit model using ABASE software from IDBS.
