ABSTRACT
PYRROLO-PYRIDINE DERIVATIVES
A class of pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives, substituted at the 3-position by a substituted piperazinylmethyl moiety, are antagonists of dopamine receptor subtypes within the brain, having a selective affinity for the dopamine D4 receptor subtype over other dopamine receptor subtypes, and are accordingly of benefit in the treatment and/or prevention of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia whilst manifesting fewer side-effects than those associated with classical neuroleptic drugs.

Description
2:~6213 PYE2ROLO--PYRIDINE DERIVATIVE~:
This invention relates to the use of a particular class of heteroaromatic compounds. More particularly, the invention is concerned with the use of substituted pyrrolo[ 2, 3 -b]pyridine derivatives which are antagonists of dopamine receptor subtypes within the brain and are therefore of bene~it in the treatment and/or prevention of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia.
~ he "dopamine hypothesis" of schizophrenia predicts an increased activity of dopamine neurotransmission in the disease. The hypothesis is supported by early observations that drugs, such as amphetamine, with dopamine agonist or dopamine-releasing properties are capable of eliciting a psychosis indistinguishable from acute paranoid schiæophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a disorder which is conventionally treated with drugs known as neuroleptics.
In the majori~y of cases, the symptoms of schizophrenia can be treated successfully with so-called "classical"
neuroleptic agents such as haloperidol. Classical neuroleptics generally are antagonists at dopamine D2 receptors. The fact that classical neuroleptic drugs have an action on dopamine receptors in the brain thus lends credence to the "dopamine hypothesis" of schizophrenia.
Molecular biological techniques have revealed the existence o~ several subtypes of the dopamine receptor. The dopamine Dl receptor subtype has been shown to oc~ur in at least two discrete forms. Two ~orms of the D2 receptor subtype, and at least one form of the D3 receptor subtype, have also been discovered. More . , ::
2~l6~2~
recently, the D4 (Van Tol et al., Nature (London), 1991, 350, 610) and D5 (Sunahara et al., Nature (London), 1991, 350, 6143 receptor subtypes have been described.
Notwithstanding their beneficial antipsychotic effects, classical neuroleptic agents such as haloperidol are frequently responsible for eliciting acute extrapyramidal symptoms and neuroendocrine disturbances.
These side-effects, which clearly detract from the clinical desirability o~ classical neuroleptics, are lo believed to be attri~utable to D2 receptor blockade in the striatal region of the brain. It is considered (Van Tol et al., supra) that compounds which can interact selectively with the dopamine D4 receptor subtype, whilst having a less-pronounced action at the D2 subtype, might be free from, or at any rate less prone to, the side-effe~ts associated with classical neuroleptics, whilst at the same time maintaining a beneficial level of antipsychotic activity.
The compounds of use in the present invention, being antagonists of dopamine receptor subtypes within the brain, are accordingly of benefit in the treatment and/or prevention of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Moreover, the compounds of use in the invention have a selective affinity for the dopamine D4 receptor subtype over other dopamine receptor subtypes, in particular the D2 subtype, and can therefore be expected to manifest fewer side-effects than those associated with classical neuroleptic drugs.
US Patents 3362956 and 3511~41 describe certain 1-[(heterocyclyl)-lower-alkyl]-4-substituted-piperazines, in which the heterocyclyl moiety represents inter alia a pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine group (referred to therein as a 7-azaindole group). These compounds are alleged therein to possess a panoply of depressant actions on the autonomic 2~6~13 nervous system, the cardiovascular system and the skeletal muscular system (including psychomotor depressant, sedative, adrenolytic, rectal temperature lowering, anticonvulsant, blood pressure lowering and heart force increasing activities), and are consequently alleged to be useful as tranquilizers, sedatives, adrenolytic agents, hypothermic agents, anti-convulsants, hypotensive agents and cardiovascular agents. There is, however, no precise suggestion in US Patents 3362956 or 3511841 that the compounds described therein would be of any benefit in the treatment and/or prevention of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, still less that in doing so they might be expected to manifest fewer side-effects than those exhibited by classical neuroleptic agents.
The present invention accordingly provides the use of a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a prodrug thereo~:

This invention relates to the use of a particular class of heteroaromatic compounds. More particularly, the invention is concerned with the use of substituted pyrrolo[ 2, 3 -b]pyridine derivatives which are antagonists of dopamine receptor subtypes within the brain and are therefore of bene~it in the treatment and/or prevention of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia.
~ he "dopamine hypothesis" of schizophrenia predicts an increased activity of dopamine neurotransmission in the disease. The hypothesis is supported by early observations that drugs, such as amphetamine, with dopamine agonist or dopamine-releasing properties are capable of eliciting a psychosis indistinguishable from acute paranoid schiæophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a disorder which is conventionally treated with drugs known as neuroleptics.
In the majori~y of cases, the symptoms of schizophrenia can be treated successfully with so-called "classical"
neuroleptic agents such as haloperidol. Classical neuroleptics generally are antagonists at dopamine D2 receptors. The fact that classical neuroleptic drugs have an action on dopamine receptors in the brain thus lends credence to the "dopamine hypothesis" of schizophrenia.
Molecular biological techniques have revealed the existence o~ several subtypes of the dopamine receptor. The dopamine Dl receptor subtype has been shown to oc~ur in at least two discrete forms. Two ~orms of the D2 receptor subtype, and at least one form of the D3 receptor subtype, have also been discovered. More . , ::
2~l6~2~
recently, the D4 (Van Tol et al., Nature (London), 1991, 350, 610) and D5 (Sunahara et al., Nature (London), 1991, 350, 6143 receptor subtypes have been described.
Notwithstanding their beneficial antipsychotic effects, classical neuroleptic agents such as haloperidol are frequently responsible for eliciting acute extrapyramidal symptoms and neuroendocrine disturbances.
These side-effects, which clearly detract from the clinical desirability o~ classical neuroleptics, are lo believed to be attri~utable to D2 receptor blockade in the striatal region of the brain. It is considered (Van Tol et al., supra) that compounds which can interact selectively with the dopamine D4 receptor subtype, whilst having a less-pronounced action at the D2 subtype, might be free from, or at any rate less prone to, the side-effe~ts associated with classical neuroleptics, whilst at the same time maintaining a beneficial level of antipsychotic activity.
The compounds of use in the present invention, being antagonists of dopamine receptor subtypes within the brain, are accordingly of benefit in the treatment and/or prevention of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Moreover, the compounds of use in the invention have a selective affinity for the dopamine D4 receptor subtype over other dopamine receptor subtypes, in particular the D2 subtype, and can therefore be expected to manifest fewer side-effects than those associated with classical neuroleptic drugs.
US Patents 3362956 and 3511~41 describe certain 1-[(heterocyclyl)-lower-alkyl]-4-substituted-piperazines, in which the heterocyclyl moiety represents inter alia a pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine group (referred to therein as a 7-azaindole group). These compounds are alleged therein to possess a panoply of depressant actions on the autonomic 2~6~13 nervous system, the cardiovascular system and the skeletal muscular system (including psychomotor depressant, sedative, adrenolytic, rectal temperature lowering, anticonvulsant, blood pressure lowering and heart force increasing activities), and are consequently alleged to be useful as tranquilizers, sedatives, adrenolytic agents, hypothermic agents, anti-convulsants, hypotensive agents and cardiovascular agents. There is, however, no precise suggestion in US Patents 3362956 or 3511841 that the compounds described therein would be of any benefit in the treatment and/or prevention of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, still less that in doing so they might be expected to manifest fewer side-effects than those exhibited by classical neuroleptic agents.

The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of the novel compounds according to the invention in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Preferably these compositions are in unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, capsules, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, metered aerosol or liquid sprays, drops, ampoules, auto-injector devices or . .
21~ 2~ ~
suppositories; for oral, parenteral, intranasal, sublingual or rectal administration, or for administration by inhalation or insufflation.
Alternatively, the compositions may be presented in a form suitable for once-weekly or once-monthly administration; for example, an insoluble salt of the active compound, such as the decanoate salt, may be adapted to provide a depot preparation for intramuscular injection. For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g. conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g. water, to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention, or a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation composition is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention. The tablets or pills of the novel composition can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage compcnent, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in : : . ~ - :

the stomach and permits the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A
variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol and cellulose acetate.
The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavoured syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavoured emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Suitable dispersiny or suspending agents for aqu~ous suspensions include synthetic and natural gums such as tragacanth, acacia, alginate, dextran, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone or gelatin.
In the treatment of schizophrenia, a suitable dosage level is about 0.01 to ~50 mg/kg per day, preferably about 0005 to 100 mg/kg per day, and especially about 0.05 to 5 mg/kg per day. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day.
The compounds of formula I above, including the novel compounds according to the present invention, may be prepared by a process which comprises reacting a compound of formula III with a compound of formula IV:

(III) (IV) wherein Rl, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are as dafined above, and RP corresponds to the group R as defined above or represents a suitable protecting group; in the presence of a substantially equimolar amount of ~ormaldehyde;
followed, where required, by removal of the protecting group RP; and subsequently, if necessary, N-alkylation by standard methods to introduce the moiety R.
The reaction is conveniently carried out by stirring the reactants in aqueous acetic acid, ideally in the presence of a buffer such as sodium acetate trihydrate, suitably at room temperature.
The formaldehyde may be utilised in the form of paraformaldehyde; or as a solution of formaldehyde in an inert solvent, e.g. 37~ aqueous formaldehyde.
The protecting group RP, when present, is suitably an acyl moiety such as acetyl, which can conveniently be rèmoved as necessary by treatment under strongly basic conditions, e.g. sodium methoxide in methanol. Alternatively, the protecting group RP may be a carbamoyl moiety such as t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC), which can conveniently be removed as necessary by treatment -under mildly acidic conditions.
21~213 In an alternative procedure, the compounds of formula I above, including the novel compounds according to the present invention, may be prepared by a process which comprises reacting a compound of formula IV as defined above with a compound of formula V~
R
R N
R P
(V~
wherein R3, R4, R5 and RP are as defined above, and L
represents a suitable leaving group; followed, where required, by removal of the protecting group RP; and subsequently, if necessary, N-alkylation by standard methods to introduce the moiety R.
The leaving group L is suitably a halogen atom, e.g. chlorine or bromine; or a dialkylamino group, e~g.
dimethylamino.
When L represents a halogen atom, the reaction between compounds IV and V is conveniently carried out by ~5 ~tirring the reactants under basic conditions in a suitable solvent, for example potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylformamide, or triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran or acetonitrile. Where L represents a dialkylamino group, the reaction is conveniently effected by heating the reactants in an inert solvent such as toluene, typically at the reflux temperature of the solvent.
Whexe they are not commercially available, the starting materials of formula III, IV and V may be prepared by procedures analogous to those described in 211~2~l3 the accompanying Examples, or by standard methods well known ~rom the art.
It will be appreciated that any compound of formula I initially obtained from any of the above processes may, where appropriate, subsequently be elaborated into a further desired compound of formula I
using techniques known from the art. For example, a compound of formula I wherein R is hydrogen initially obtained may be converted into a compound of formula I
wherein R represents Cl_6 alkyl by standard alkylation techniques, such as by treatment with an alkyl iodide, e.g. methyl iodide, typically under basic conditions, e.g. sodium hydride in dimethylformamide, or triethylamine in acetonitrila. Moreover, a compound of formula I wherein the R2 moiety is substituted by carboxy may be obtained from the corresponding alkyl ester derivative initially obtained by conventional deesterification procedures, typically by treatment with a base such as sodium hydroxide in a lower alkanol such as ethanol. Similarly, a compound of formula I wherein the R2 moiety is substituted by an alkyl ester or carboxamide moiety initially obtained may be converted into the corresponding hydroxymethyl or aminomethyl derivative respectively by reduction with an appropriate reducing agent, e.g. diisobutylaluminium hydride or lithium aluminium hydride.
Where the above-described processes for the preparation of the compounds of use in the invention give rise to mixtures of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared in racemic form, or individual enantiomers may be prepared either by enantiospecific synthesis or by resolution. The compounds may, for example, be resolved into their .- . ... . ... - . . ..
21~213 - 22 ~ T1232Y
component enantiomers by standard techniques such as preparative HPLC, or the formation of diasteraomeric pairs by salt formation with an optically activa acid, such as ~ di-p-toluoyl-d-tartaric acid and/or (+)-di-p-toluoyl-l-tartaric acid, followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base. Tha compounds may also be resolved by formation of diastereomeric esters or amides, followed by chromatographic separation and removal of the chiral auxiliary.
During any of the above synthetic sequences it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J.F.W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973;
and T.W. Greene & P.G.M. Wuts, Protective Groups in organic Synthesis, John Wiley ~ Sons, 1991. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known from the art.
The followin~ Examples illustrate the preparation of compounds according to the invention.
The compounds useful in this invention potently inhibit [3H~-spiperone binding to human dopamine D4 receptor subtypes expressed in clonal cell lines.
[ H]-Spiperone Binding Studies Clonal cell lines expressing the human dopamine D4 receptor subtype were harvested in PBS and then lysed in 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4 buffer containing 5 mM MgS04 for 20 min on ice.

Incubations were carried out for 60 min at room temperature (22C~ in the presence of 0.05 2 nM [3H]-spiperone or 0.2 nM for displacemant studies and were initiated by addition of 20-lO0 ~g protein in a final assay volume of 0.5 ml. The incubation was terminated by rapid filtration over GF/B
filters presoaked in 0.3% PEI and washed with 10 ml ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4. Specific binding was determined by 10 ~M apomorphine and radioactivity determined by counting in a LKB beta counter. Binding parameters were determined by non-linear least squares .
regression analysis, from which the inhibition constant Ki could be calculated for each test compound.
The compounds of the accompanying Examples were tested in the above assay, and all were found ko possess a Ki value for displacement of [3H]-spiperone from the human dopamine D4 receptor subtype of below 1.5 ~M.

The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of the novel compounds according to the invention in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Preferably these compositions are in unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, capsules, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, metered aerosol or liquid sprays, drops, ampoules, auto-injector devices or . .
21~ 2~ ~
suppositories; for oral, parenteral, intranasal, sublingual or rectal administration, or for administration by inhalation or insufflation.
Alternatively, the compositions may be presented in a form suitable for once-weekly or once-monthly administration; for example, an insoluble salt of the active compound, such as the decanoate salt, may be adapted to provide a depot preparation for intramuscular injection. For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g. conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g. water, to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention, or a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation composition is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention. The tablets or pills of the novel composition can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage compcnent, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in : : . ~ - :

the stomach and permits the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A
variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol and cellulose acetate.
The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavoured syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavoured emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Suitable dispersiny or suspending agents for aqu~ous suspensions include synthetic and natural gums such as tragacanth, acacia, alginate, dextran, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone or gelatin.
In the treatment of schizophrenia, a suitable dosage level is about 0.01 to ~50 mg/kg per day, preferably about 0005 to 100 mg/kg per day, and especially about 0.05 to 5 mg/kg per day. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day.
The compounds of formula I above, including the novel compounds according to the present invention, may be prepared by a process which comprises reacting a compound of formula III with a compound of formula IV:

(III) (IV) wherein Rl, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are as dafined above, and RP corresponds to the group R as defined above or represents a suitable protecting group; in the presence of a substantially equimolar amount of ~ormaldehyde;
followed, where required, by removal of the protecting group RP; and subsequently, if necessary, N-alkylation by standard methods to introduce the moiety R.
The reaction is conveniently carried out by stirring the reactants in aqueous acetic acid, ideally in the presence of a buffer such as sodium acetate trihydrate, suitably at room temperature.
The formaldehyde may be utilised in the form of paraformaldehyde; or as a solution of formaldehyde in an inert solvent, e.g. 37~ aqueous formaldehyde.
The protecting group RP, when present, is suitably an acyl moiety such as acetyl, which can conveniently be rèmoved as necessary by treatment under strongly basic conditions, e.g. sodium methoxide in methanol. Alternatively, the protecting group RP may be a carbamoyl moiety such as t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC), which can conveniently be removed as necessary by treatment -under mildly acidic conditions.

(V~
wherein R3, R4, R5 and RP are as defined above, and L
represents a suitable leaving group; followed, where required, by removal of the protecting group RP; and subsequently, if necessary, N-alkylation by standard methods to introduce the moiety R.
The leaving group L is suitably a halogen atom, e.g. chlorine or bromine; or a dialkylamino group, e~g.
dimethylamino.
When L represents a halogen atom, the reaction between compounds IV and V is conveniently carried out by ~5 ~tirring the reactants under basic conditions in a suitable solvent, for example potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylformamide, or triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran or acetonitrile. Where L represents a dialkylamino group, the reaction is conveniently effected by heating the reactants in an inert solvent such as toluene, typically at the reflux temperature of the solvent.
Whexe they are not commercially available, the starting materials of formula III, IV and V may be prepared by procedures analogous to those described in 211~2~l3 the accompanying Examples, or by standard methods well known ~rom the art.
It will be appreciated that any compound of formula I initially obtained from any of the above processes may, where appropriate, subsequently be elaborated into a further desired compound of formula I
using techniques known from the art. For example, a compound of formula I wherein R is hydrogen initially obtained may be converted into a compound of formula I
wherein R represents Cl_6 alkyl by standard alkylation techniques, such as by treatment with an alkyl iodide, e.g. methyl iodide, typically under basic conditions, e.g. sodium hydride in dimethylformamide, or triethylamine in acetonitrila. Moreover, a compound of formula I wherein the R2 moiety is substituted by carboxy may be obtained from the corresponding alkyl ester derivative initially obtained by conventional deesterification procedures, typically by treatment with a base such as sodium hydroxide in a lower alkanol such as ethanol. Similarly, a compound of formula I wherein the R2 moiety is substituted by an alkyl ester or carboxamide moiety initially obtained may be converted into the corresponding hydroxymethyl or aminomethyl derivative respectively by reduction with an appropriate reducing agent, e.g. diisobutylaluminium hydride or lithium aluminium hydride.
Where the above-described processes for the preparation of the compounds of use in the invention give rise to mixtures of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared in racemic form, or individual enantiomers may be prepared either by enantiospecific synthesis or by resolution. The compounds may, for example, be resolved into their .- . ... . ... - . . ..
21~213 - 22 ~ T1232Y
component enantiomers by standard techniques such as preparative HPLC, or the formation of diasteraomeric pairs by salt formation with an optically activa acid, such as ~ di-p-toluoyl-d-tartaric acid and/or (+)-di-p-toluoyl-l-tartaric acid, followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base. Tha compounds may also be resolved by formation of diastereomeric esters or amides, followed by chromatographic separation and removal of the chiral auxiliary.
During any of the above synthetic sequences it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J.F.W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973;
and T.W. Greene & P.G.M. Wuts, Protective Groups in organic Synthesis, John Wiley ~ Sons, 1991. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known from the art.
The followin~ Examples illustrate the preparation of compounds according to the invention.

Incubations were carried out for 60 min at room temperature (22C~ in the presence of 0.05 2 nM [3H]-spiperone or 0.2 nM for displacemant studies and were initiated by addition of 20-lO0 ~g protein in a final assay volume of 0.5 ml. The incubation was terminated by rapid filtration over GF/B
filters presoaked in 0.3% PEI and washed with 10 ml ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4. Specific binding was determined by 10 ~M apomorphine and radioactivity determined by counting in a LKB beta counter. Binding parameters were determined by non-linear least squares .
regression analysis, from which the inhibition constant Ki could be calculated for each test compound.
The compounds of the accompanying Examples were tested in the above assay, and all were found ko possess a Ki value for displacement of [3H]-spiperone from the human dopamine D4 receptor subtype of below 1.5 ~M.
