[0001] This application is a continuation of PCT Application
HU2004/000080, filed 23 Jul. 2004, which designated the United
States.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to an adenosine A.sub.3
receptor ligand of the general formula (I), within those preferably
to the antagonists, including a salt, solvate or isomer (tautomer,
desmotrop, and optically active isomer) thereof, to a
pharmaceutical composition containing the ligand, to the use of the
ligand, to its preparation, and intermediates of the ligand of the
general formula (II''), (III''), (IV''), (V''), (VI''), (VII''),
(VIII'') and (XIII'') and their preparation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Adenosine is a well-known component of several endogenous
molecules (ATP, NAD.sup.+, nucleic acids). It plays an important
regulatory role in many physiological processes. The effect of
adenosine on the heart function was described already in 1929
(Drury and Szentgyorgyi, Physiol. 68:213, 1929). The identification
of an increasing number of physiological functions mediated by
adenosine and the discovery of new adenosine receptor subtypes are
offering possibilities for the therapeutic application of specific
ligands (Poulse, S. A. and Quinn, R. J. Bioorganic and Medicinal
Chemistry 6:619, 1998).
[0004] To date, the receptors for adenosine have been classified
into three main classes: A.sub.1, A.sub.2 and A.sub.3. The A.sub.1
subtype is partly responsible for the inhibition of the adenylate
cyclase by coupling to G.sub.i membrane protein, and partly
influences other second messenger systems. The A.sub.2 receptor
subtype can be subdivided into two further subtypes--A.sub.2a and
A.sub.2b--, which stimulate the adenylate cyclase activity. The
sequence of the adenosine A.sub.3 receptors have been first
identified from rat testis cDNA library. Later it was proved that
it corresponds to a novel, functional adenosine receptor. The
activation of the A.sub.3 receptors is also connected with several
second-messenger systems: inhibiting of adenylate cyclase,
stimulating phospholipase C and D.
[0005] The adenosine receptors are found in several organs and
regulate their functions. Both A.sub.1 and A.sub.2a receptors play
important role in the central nervous system and cardiovascular
system. In the CNS, the adenosine inhibits the release of synaptic
transmitters which effect is mediated by A.sub.1 receptors. In the
heart, the A.sub.1 receptors also mediate the negative inotropic,
chronotropic and dromotropic effects of adenosine. The adenosine
A.sub.2a receptors, which are located in a relatively high amount
in the striatum, display functional interaction with the dopamine
receptors in regulating the synaptic transmission. The A.sub.2a
adenosine receptors on endothelial and smooth muscle cells are
responsible for adenosine-induced vasodilation.
[0006] On the basis of RNA identification, the A.sub.2b adenosine
receptors are widely distributed in different tissues. They have
been identified in almost every cell type, but its expression is
the highest in the intestine and the bladder. This subtype probably
also has important regulatory function in the regulation of the
vascular tone and plays a role in the function of mast cells.
[0007] Contrary to A.sub.1 and A.sub.2a receptors, where the tissue
distribution was detected on the protein level, the presence of
A.sub.2b and A.sub.3 receptors was detected on the basis of their
mRNA level. Expression levels for A.sub.3 adenosine receptors are
rather low compared to other subtypes and they are highly species
dependent. A.sub.3 adenosine receptors are expressed primarily in
the central nervous system, in the testis and in the immune system,
and appear to be involved in the modulation of the mediator release
from the mast cells in immediate hypersensitivity reaction.
[0008] For therapeutic use, it is essential to ensure that the
molecule does not bind, or binds only in the case of very high
concentration to the A.sub.1, A.sub.2a and A.sub.2b sub-types of
the adenosine receptor.
[0009] A.sub.3 antagonists published so far in the literature,
belong to the groups of flavonoides, 1,4-dihydropyridine
derivatives, triazoloquinazolines, thiazolonaphthyridines and
thiazolopyrimidines. Most of the effective and for the adenosine
subtypes selective antagonists, however posses strong lipophilic
character, and they are therefore sparingly soluble in water. This
feature hinders the in vivo applicability of the compounds. In the
literature more and more studies are to find aiming the preparation
of water-soluble adenosine A3 receptor antagonists (Ch. E. Muller
et al., J. Med. Chem. 45:3440, 2002; A. Maconi et al., J. Med.
Chem. 45:3579, 2002).

2-amino-3-cyanoquinoline derivatives as structurally novel type,
effective A.sub.3 antagonists. The compounds described in patent
application WO 02/096879 are A.sub.3 antagonists with high

[0018] n' represents zero, 1 or 2;
[0019] These compounds too, have the characteristic disadvantage
that they are only sparingly soluble, which hampers their
development into a drug. What would be useful would be compounds
having solubility profiles that are far better than those of the
known 2-amino-3-cyanoquinolines, besides, and which would also be
highly active.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0040] Our aim was to prepare A.sub.3 ligands, within them
preferably antagonists, with quinoline structure, which exert
strong antagonistic effect and high selectivity for the A.sub.3
receptor, i.e. they inhibit the A.sub.3 receptor in much lower
concentration than they inhibit the A.sub.1, A.sub.2a and A.sub.2b
receptors. Further aims were to have stability, bioavailability,
therapeutic index, toxicity and solubility data, which enable these
new compounds to develop into drug substances, and that the new
compounds possess favourable enteric absorption to be applied
orally.
[0041] As shown by liquid phase NMR studies, in solution the
compound of the general formula (I) is in equilibrium mixtures of
the tautomeric forms (IA) and (IB):
##STR00004##
In solid phase the tautomers (IA) and (IB) can be isolated
separately, as the desmotrop (IA) or (IB).
[0042] According to the above findings, the present invention also
relates to the desmotropic isomers (IA) and (IB). The meanings of
the substituents in the general formulae (IA) and (IB) are as
defined for the general formula (I).
[0043] The compound of the general formula (I) may have a chiral
centre depending for instance on the meaning of the set of
substituents R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3. Thus, the invention
also relates to the racemic form or an optically active form of the
compound of the general formula (I), or a salt, tautomer or
desmotrop thereof.

[0320] Results
[0321] We consider the compounds as biologically active ones if
they inhibit the binding of the radioligand on human adenosine
A.sub.3 receptors with an activity above 80% at 1 .mu.M in our
experimental conditions.
[0322] The dissociation constant (K.sub.d) of [.sup.125I]AB-MECA on
CHO-hA.sub.3 membrane preparation is determined by isotope
saturation studies with the help of Scatchard analysis (G.
Scatchard, Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 51:660, 1949). The IC.sub.50 is
converted to an affinity constant (K.sub.i) by application of the
Cheng-Prusoff equation (Y. J. Cheng and W. H. Prusoff, Biochem.
Pharmacol. 22:3099, 1973).
[0323] A number of the compounds of the general formula (I)
displayed remarkable biological effects. The most active compounds
of the general formula (I) were those defined in claims 2-4.
Especially advantageous are the compounds given in the Examples,
their K.sub.i values are in the range of 0.5 nM and 900 nM,
preferably 0.5 nM and 700 nM. K.sub.i values of the most
advantageous compounds are in the range of 0.5 nM 18 nM, most
preferably 0.5 and 15 nM.
[0324] The compounds possess good bioavailability and a selectivity
of at least 3 order of magnitude, in respect to the human adenosine
A.sub.1, A.sub.2a and A.sub.2b receptor subtypes.
[0325] Further, the duration of their action at intravenous and
oral administration is long, their ED.sub.50 values are low, their
toxicological and side-effect profiles are advantageous.
[0326] These above data are favourable for the therapeutic
application of the compound of the general formula (I).
