NOVEL GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS: FUSED CYCLOALKYL
QUINOXALINEDIONES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to 2 , 3 -quinoxaline- diones with a substituted C5-C7 cycloalkyl ring fused to the quinoxaline system. The substituted C5-C7 cycloalkyl ring fused 2 , 3-quinoxalinediones are active as excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists acting at glutamate receptors, including either or both N-methyl- D-aspartate (MNDA) receptors and nonNMDA receptors such as the α-amino-3 -hydroxy-5-methyl-4 -isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptor and the kainate receptor. The invention also relates to the use of those quinoxalinediones as neuroprotective agents for treating conditions such as cerebral ischemia or cerebral infarction resulting from a range of phenomena, such as thromboembolic or hemorrhagic stroke, cerebral vasospasms, hypoglycemia, cardiac arrest, status epilepticus, perinatal asphyxia, anoxia such as from drowning, pulmonary surgery, and cerebral trauma, as well as to treat chronic neurodegenerative disorders such as lathyrism, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinsonism, and Huntington's Disease, and as anticonvulsants . The compounds of the present invention may also be useful in the treatment of schizophrenia, epilepsy, anxiety, pain, and drug addiction.
RELATED BACKGROUND ART
Excessive excitation by neurotransmitters can cause the degeneration and death of neurons. It is believed that this degeneration is in part mediated by the excitotoxic actions of the excitatory amino acid (EAA) glutamate and aspartate at the N-methyl-D- aspartate (NMDA) , the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4- isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptor, and the kainate receptor. This excitotoxic action is responsible for the loss of neurons in cerebrovascular disorders such as cerebral ischemia or cerebral infarction resulting from a range of conditions, such as thromboembolic or hemorrhagic stroke, cerebral vasospasms, hypoglycemia, cardiac arrest, status epilepticus, perinatal asphyxia, anoxia such as from drowning, pulmonary surgery, and cerebral trauma, as well as lathyrism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. Several classes of quinoxalinedione derivatives have been disclosed as glutamate (EAA) receptor antagonists. For example, United States Patent No. 4,889,855 is directed to compounds of formula

The compounds are disclosed as useful for treating conditions caused by the hyperactivity of the excitatory neurotransmitter . The reference, however, does not disclose any compounds with substitution of the fused cyclohexyl ring, i.e., where R is other than hydrogen. Nor does the reference disclose or suggest any methods which would allow substitution of the cyclohexyl ring.
United States Patent No. 5,308,845 and United States Patent No. 5,081,123 are directed to compounds of formula
wherein R is hydroxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, aralkyloxy, cycloalkylalkoxy, cycloalkoxy, or acyloxy; R and R together form a further fused ring, which is substituted with hydrogen, halogen, or CN, and R' and R independently are hydrogen, N0

The compounds are disclosed as useful in the treatment of indications caused by hyperactivity of the excitatory neurotrans itters, particularly the quisqualate receptors and especially as neuroleptics . Again, however, these references do
not suggest or illustrate any examples of substituted cyclohexyl rings.
Cyclohexyl-fused and cyclopentyl- fused quinoxalinediones and a method for preparing the same are described in copending application No. 08/350,765, filed December 7, 1994, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
Having both NMDA and nonNMDA antagonist properties in a single entity may provide a superior pharmacological profile. Combinations of NMDA and nonNMDA receptor antagonists have shown synergistic activity in focal and global ischemia (K. Lippert, M. Welsch, and J. Krieglstein, Rnr. iT.

1991;113 :10-17) . Among excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists recognized for usefulness in the treatment of disorders are those that block AMPA receptors (C.F. Bigge and T.C. Malone, r^r-r Op-iπ. Thfir. Pat . r 1993:951; M.A. Rogawski, Ti PS 1993 ;14 :325) . AMPA receptor antagonists have prevented neuronal injury in several models of global cerebral ischemia (H.

Several precursors are available commercially or via known chemical transformations that are starting materials for the compounds disclosed in the present invention. For example, several tetrahydronapthalene and indane derivatives which are substituted on the saturated ring are available. Example of substituents on the saturated ring include, but are not limited to the following, OH, NHR, CH2NHR, CN, N3, and COOH, wherein R is hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
Illustrated below are several indane and tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives with substitution on the saturated ring that are readily available or can be prepared by those skilled in the art. Such compounds may be employed as precursors in preparation of the compounds of this invention.
G is a substituent of the aromatic ring. Typical substituents include OH, N0 , acid amide, methyl groups, or a halogen atom and q is 1 to 3. The indanones and tetralones are readily reduced to alcohols using standard hydride reagents (lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride, and their derivatives) , or catalytic hydrogenation. They can also undergo reductive amination to form amines; the keto group is treated with a primary or secondary amine under dehydrating conditions, and the resulting imine can be reduced by a hydride reagent (sodium cyanoborohydride , for example) or catalytic hydrogenation to give the amine. Both the indanones and tetralones can be homologated via several procedures known in the literature to give either nitriles or carboxylic acid functionality in place of the ketone. Cyanohydrin formation by classical methodology, or by using trimethylsilylcyanide, followed by elimination of the alcohol and reduction of the double bond can give the nitrile moiety in place of the ketone. Subsequent hydrolysis gives the carboxylic acid derivative, or reduction of the nitrile gives the aminomethyl derivative. Each of these intermediates, alcohols, amines, nitriles, or carboxylic acid derivatives can be separately processed according to procedures known to those skilled in the art to give the desired side chains described within this invention. The reactions and methodologies described can be performed at a number of different stages of the sequence, and the preferred order of reaction may be
optimally dependent upon each individual substrate and product that is generated.
When the substituent of the saturated ring is hydroxy it can be transformed into a good leaving group such as a mesylate, tosylate, halide, or the like, or a variety of ether derivatives may be prepared by the Williamson ether synthesis. The above transformations can be performed either before or after establishing the substitution pattern of the aromatic ring. Standard chemistry methodologies can be used to further elaborate the side chain from derivatives of the indanone and tetralone systems. Enolate chemistry (formed by treatment with an appropriate base, such as lithium diisopropylamide) or enamine chemistry (formed by treatment with pyrrolidine under dehydrating conditions) can result in substitution of the α-carbon atom when treated with an electrophile . Subsequent reductive methods, known to those skilled in the art (Wulff Kishner reduction, Clemmenson reduction, catalytic hydrogenation, metal hydrides) are used to provide the deoxygenated species.

The keto group can be displaced directly via treatment with a variety of known Wittig reagents (such as 3- (2-thienyl)propyltriphenylphosphonium bromide) or Horner-Emmons reagents (triethylphosphonoacetate) , with subsequent catalytic hydrogenation of the double bond formed in the condensation process. Alternatively, aldol-like and Knoevenagel condensations can be performed with the indanone or tetralone substrate to give similar products.
SCHEME 1 Establishing Regiochemistry of Aromatic Ring and Conversion to Quinoxalinedione
Scheme 1 illustrates two methods of electrophilic aromatic substitution that were used to obtain regiospecific substitution of the aromatic ring and enabled formation of the desired quinoxalinediones . Z represents the side chain substitutent of the indane or tetralin system, and may be either a precursor side chain or the final side chain as previously described herein. In the first method the acetamide is used as a directing group for the aromatic substitution and a protecting group for the aniline nitrogen. When the aniline is protected as the oxamide, the aromatic substitution proceeds in a similar manner, but the quinoxalinedione can be formed via intramolecular condensation without the deprotection step. The substitution pattern of the aromatic ring can be elaborated from an acetamidotetralin or acetamidoindane derivative as illustrated in Scheme 1. Electrophilic aromatic substitution occurs preferentially ortho and para to the acetamido group. The substituent that is introduced (halide, sulfate, etc.) may act as a protecting group, to be removed later, to block a specific position on the aromatic ring and allow the subsequent regioselective introduction of another functional group, such as nitro. The substituent can also be retained in the final quinoxalinedione, and allows each of the positions of the aromatic ring to be selectively substituted. Nitration of the aromatic ring ortho to the acetamido functionality, followed by hydrolysis and reduction provides a diamino derivative that can be condensed with an oxalic acid derivative (free acid, dimethyl ester, diphenyl ester, etc.) to form a quinoxalinedione. Several alternative methodologies known to those skilled in the art exist, including starting with an oxalyamide, introduction of the nitro functionality, selective reduction of the nitro moiety to the amine, and subsequent ring closure.
When Y acts as a protecting group, such as bromine or sulfate, conditions can be used that simultaneously reduce the nitro functionality and give hydrogenolysis of the bromine, or reverse sulfonylation, to give a hydrogen atom in its place. Subsequent aromatic electrophilic substitution will give the X-substitution preferentially, and some of the Y-substitution. X and Y are previously described substitutents for Formula I.
SCHEME 2 Alternate methods of establishing regiochemistry of the aromatic ring and subsequent conversion to quinoxalinedone
Scheme 2 illustrates an alternative substrate that enables the necessary regioselectivity of substitution of the aromatic ring to be established using similar methodology as previously described. Conversion to the quinoxalinedione can proceed from the ortho diamine with condensation with an oxalic acid derivative, or from an ortho amino oxamide derivative by intramolecular condensation.
Compounds of this invention can be prepared using the methods described in Schemes 1 or 2 with elaboration of the side chain as described in Scheme 3 , There is no restriction as to the order in which the methods may be used to generate the compounds of this invention, i.e., the side chains may be elaborated before or after the aromatic substitution pattern is set .

Such pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosage forms thereof may comprise conventional ingredients in conventional proportions, with or without additional active compounds or principles, and such unit dosage forms may contain any suitable effective amount of the active ingredient commensurate with the intended daily dosage range to be employed. Tablets containing 10 mg of active ingredients or, more broadly, 0.1 to 100 mg per tablet, are accordingly suitable representative unit dosage forms .
Solid forms of pharmaceutical compositions for PO administration and injectable solutions are preferred.
METHOD OF TREATING
The compounds of this invention are extremely useful in the treatment of central nervous system disorders related to their biological activity. The compounds of this invention may accordingly be administered to a subject, including a human, in need of treatment, alleviation, or elimination of an indication associated with the biological activity of the compounds. This includes especially excitatory
amino-acid-dependent psychosis, excitatory amino-acid- dependent anoxia, excitatory amino-acid-dependent ischemia, excitatory amino-acid-dependent Parkinsonism, excitatory amino-acid-dependent convulsions, and excitatory amino-acid-dependent migraine. Suitable dosage ranges are 0.1 to 1000 mg daily, dependent as usual upon the exact mode of administration, the form in which administered, the indication toward which the administration is directed, the subject involved, and the body weight of the subject involved, and further, the preference and experience of the physician or veterinarian in charge.
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
The compounds of the invention exhibit valuable biological properties because of their strong excitatory amino acid (EAA) antagonizing properties at one of several binding sites on glutamate receptors: the AMPA ( (RS) - -amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole- propionic acid (or kainic acid) binding site on AMPA (nonNMDA) receptors or the glycine site of NMDA receptors. The compounds generally have activity at both NMDA and nonNMDA receptors, and thus may act in disorders arising from overexcitation of either receptor family.
The compounds of the present invention exhibit binding affinity for the AMPA receptor as described by Honore T. , et al., Nen n.rH e cp T.Pt-f s 1985;54:27-32. Preferred compounds demonstrate IC50 values <100 μM in this assay. Values for selected compounds are found in Table 1. The compounds of the present invention exhibit binding affinity for the kainate site (nonNMDA receptor) as described by London E.D. and Coyle J, Mol . Pha macol . f 1979; 15: 492. The compounds of the present
invention exhibit binding affinity for the glycine site of the NMDA receptor as described by Jones S.M., et al., Pharmacol ■ Methods, 1989;2l:161. To functionally measure AMPA antagonist activity, the effects of the agent on AMPA-induced neuronal damage in primary cortical neuronal cultures was examined using techniques similar to those outlined by Koh, J.-Y. et al., J. Neurosri . , 1990; 10:693. The neuronal damage produced by long-term exposure to 100 μM AMPA is measured by the release of the cytosolic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) .
As a preliminary indicator of in vivo CNS activity related to anticonvulsant activity and potential neuroprotection, a maximal electroshock assay in CF-1 strain mice (20-25 g) is performed with corneal electrodes by conventional methods as described previously (Krall et al . , Kpi is si ar 1988;19:409-28. The claimed compounds generally demonstrated ED50 values of <50 mg/kg. Also, compounds of the present invention when administered IV or IP in the in vivo AMPA seizure test, as described below, inhibit the clonic seizures induced by AMPA.
AMPA- Induced Clonic Seizures
AMPA given ICV (intracerebroventricular) (15 μg/kg) to NMRI mice induces clonic seizures which should be inhibited by nonNMDA receptor antagonists .
METHOD
Test compound was given IV 5 minutes (or PO 30 minutes) before a 0.3 μg ICV administration of AMPA to ten female NMRI mice (weighing 24-26 g) per dose.
The number of mice experiencing clonic seizures within the next 5 minutes was noted. An ED Q value was calculated as the dose inhibiting 50% of the mice from having clonic seizures.
