Description

[0001] The disclosure relates to 5- and 6-membered heterocyclic compounds which are inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 10. The disclosure further relates to processes, pharmaceutical compositions, pharmaceutical preparations and pharmaceutical use of the compounds in the treatment of mammals, including human(s) for central nervous system (CNS) disorders and other disorders which may affect CNS function. The disclosure also relates to methods for treating neurological, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders including but not limited to those comprising cognitive deficits or schizophrenic symptoms.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Cyclic phosphodiesterases are intracellular enzymes which, through the hydrolysis of cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP, regulate the levels of these mono phosphate nucleotides which serve as second messengers in the signaling cascade of G-protein coupled receptors. In neurons, PDEs also play a role in the regulation of downstream cGMP and cAMP dependent kinases which phosphorylate proteins involved in the regulation of synaptic transmission and homeostasis. To date, eleven different PDE families have been identified which are encoded by 21 genes. The PDEs contain a variable N-terminal regulatory domain and a highly conserved C-terminal catalytic domain and differ in their substrate specificity, expression and localization in cellular and tissue compartments, including the CNS.

[0003] The discovery of a new PDE family, PDE10, was reported simultaneously by three groups in 1999 (Soderling et al. "Isolation and characterization of a dual-substrate phosphodiesterase gene family: PDE10A" Proc. Natl Sci. 1999, 96, 7071-7076; Loughney et al. "Isolation and characterization of PDE10A, a novel human 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase" Gene 1999, 234, 109-117; Fujishige et al. "Cloning and characterization of a novel human phosphodiesterase that hydrolyzes both cAMP and cGMP (PDE10A)" J. Biol. Chem. 1999, 274, 18438-18445). The human PDE10 sequence is highly homologous to both the rat and mouse variants with 95% amino acid identity overall, and 98% identity conserved in the catalytic region.

[0004] PDE10 is primarily expressed in the brain (caudate nucleus and putamen) and is highly localized in the medium spiny neurons of the striatum, which is one of the principal inputs to the basal ganglia. This localization of PDE10 has led to speculation that it may influence the dopaminergic and glutamatergic pathways both which play roles in the pathology of various psychotic and neurodegenerative disorders.

[0005] PDE10 hydrolyzes both cAMP (K.sub.m=0.05 uM) and cGMP (K.sub.m=3 uM) (Soderling et al. "Isolation and Characterization of a dual-substrate phosphodiesterase gene family: PDE10." Proc. Natl Sci. USA 1999, 96(12), 7071-7076). In addition, PDE10 has a five-fold greater V.sub.max for cGMP than for cAMP and these in vitro kinetic data have lead to the speculation that PDE10 may act as a cAMP-inhibited cGMP phosphodiesterase in vivo (Soderling and Beavo "Regulation of cAMP and cGMP signaling: New phosphodiesterases and new functions," Curr. Opin. Cell Biol., 2000, 12, 174-179).

[0006] PDE10 is also one of five phosphodiesterase members to contain a tandem GAF domain at their N-terminus. It is differentiated by the fact that the other GAF containing PDEs (PDE2, 5, 6, and 11) bind cGMP while recent data points to the tight binding of cAMP to the GAF domain of PDE10 (Handa et al. "Crystal structure of the GAF-B domain from human phosphodiesterase 10A complexed with its ligand, cAMP" J. Biol. Chem. 2008 May 13, ePub).

[0007] PDE10 inhibitors have been disclosed for the treatment of a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, Huntington's disease, delusional disorders, drug-induced psychoses, obsessive compulsive and panic disorders (US Patent Application 2003/0032579). Studies in rats (Kostowski et. al "Papaverine drug induced stereotypy and catalepsy and biogenic amines in the brain of the rat" Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav. 1976, 5, 15-17) have showed that papaverine, a selective PDE10 inhibitor, reduces apomorphine induced stereotypes and rat brain dopamine levels and increases haloperidol induced catalepsy. This experiment lends support to the use of a PDE10 inhibitor as an antipsychotic since similar trends are seen with known, marketed antipsychotics.

[0008] Antipsychotic medications are the mainstay of current treatment for schizophrenia. Conventional or classic antipsychotics, typified by haloperidol, were introduced in the mid-1950s and have a proven track record over the last half century in the treatment of schizophrenia. While these drugs are effective against the positive, psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia, they show little benefit in alleviating negative symptoms or the cognitive impairment associated with the disease. In addition, drugs such as haloperidol have extreme side effects such as extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) due to their specific dopamine D2 receptor interaction. An even more severe condition characterized by significant, prolonged, abnormal motor movements known as tardive dyskinesia also may emerge with prolonged classic antipsychotic treatment.

[0009] The 1990s saw the development of several new drugs for schizophrenia, referred to as atypical antipsychotics, typified by risperidone and olanzapine and most effectively, clozapine. These atypical antipsychotics are generally characterized by effectiveness against both the positive and negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia, but have little effectiveness against cognitive deficiencies and persisting cognitive impairment remain a serious public health concern (Davis, J. M et al. "Dose response and dose equivalence of antipsychotics." Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, 2004, 24 (2), 192-208; Friedman, J. H. et al "Treatment of psychosis in Parkinson's disease: Safety considerations." Drug Safety, 2003, 26 (9), 643-659). In addition, the atypical antipsychotic agents, while effective in treating the positive and, to some degree, negative symptoms of schizophrenia, have significant side effects. For example, clozapine which is one of the most clinically effective antipsychotic drugs shows agranulocytosis in approximately 1.5% of patients with fatalities due to this side effect being observed. Other atypical antipsychotic drugs have significant side effects including metabolic side effects (type 2 diabetes, significant weight gain, and dyslipidemia), sexual dysfunction, sedation, and potential cardiovascular side effects that compromise their clinically effectiveness. In the large, recently published NIH sponsored CATIE study, (Lieberman et al "The Clinical Antipsychotic Trials Of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE) Schizophrenia Trial: clinical comparison of subgroups with and without the metabolic syndrome." Schizophrenia Research, 2005, 80 (1), 9-43) 74% of patients discontinued use of their antipsychotic medication within 18 months due to a number of factors including poor tolerability or incomplete efficacy. Therefore, a substantial clinical need still exists for more effective and better tolerated antipsychotic mediations possibly through the use of PDE10 inhibitors.

Tables

[0449] In the following tables of examples, if a specific example contains a single value in the column "R.sub.1a and R.sub.1b", then both R.sub.1a and R.sub.1b (if present) are taken to be this value. If this column contains multiple values separated by a comma, the first value is taken to be R.sub.1a and the second to be R.sub.1b. In the following tables, if a specific example contains multiple instances of R.sub.2, they will be separated by commas in the table (e.g. Me, Me or Et, Me). If the R.sub.2 column contains a value "--group--" e.g. "--cyclopropyl--", then both R.sub.2 values are taken together to be a spiro ring.

Dosage and Administration

[0453] The present disclosure includes pharmaceutical composition for treating a subject having a neurological disorder comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III), a derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, carrier or diluent. The pharmaceutical compositions can be administered in a variety of dosage forms including, but not limited to, a solid dosage form or in a liquid dosage form, an oral dosage form, a parenteral dosage form, an intranasal dosage form, a suppository, a lozenge, a troche, buccal, a controlled release dosage form, a pulsed release dosage form, an immediate release dosage form, an intravenous solution, a suspension or combinations thereof. The dosage can be an oral dosage form that is a controlled release dosage form. The oral dosage form can be a tablet or a caplet. The compounds can be administered, for example, by oral or parenteral routes, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, transdermal, airway (aerosol), rectal, vaginal and topical (including buccal and sublingual) administration. In one embodiment, the compounds or pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds are delivered to a desired site, such as the brain, by continuous injection via a shunt.

[0454] In another embodiment, the compound can be administered parenterally, such as intravenous (IV) administration. The formulations for administration will commonly comprise a solution of the compound of the Formulas (I), (II) and (III) dissolved in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water and Ringer's solution, an isotonic sodium chloride. In addition, sterile fixed oils can conventionally be employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid can likewise be used in the preparation of injectables. These solutions are sterile and generally free of undesirable matter. These formulations may be sterilized by conventional, well known sterilization techniques. The formulations may contain pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances as required to approximate physiological conditions such as pH adjusting and buffering agents, toxicity adjusting agents, e.g., sodium acetate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium lactate and the like. The concentration of compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) in these formulations can vary widely, and will be selected primarily based on fluid volumes, viscosities, body weight, and the like, in accordance with the particular mode of administration selected and the patient's needs. For IV administration, the formulation can be a sterile injectable preparation, such as a sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. This suspension can be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation can also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a nontoxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, such as a solution of 1,3-butanediol.

[0455] In one embodiment, a compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) can be administered by introduction into the central nervous system of the subject, e.g., into the cerbrospinal fluid of the subject. The formulations for administration will commonly comprise a solution of the compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) dissolved in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In certain aspects, the compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) is introduced intrathecally, e.g., into a cerebral ventricle, the lumbar area, or the cisterna magna. In another aspect, the compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) is introduced intraocularly, to thereby contact retinal ganglion cells.

[0456] The pharmaceutically acceptable formulations can easily be suspended in aqueous vehicles and introduced through conventional hypodermic needles or using infusion pumps. Prior to introduction, the formulations can be sterilized with, preferably, gamma radiation or electron beam sterilization.

[0457] In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) is administered into a subject intrathecally. As used herein, the term "intrathecal administration" is intended to include delivering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) directly into the cerebrospinal fluid of a subject, by techniques including lateral cerebroventricular injection through a burrhole or cisternal or lumbar puncture or the like (described in Lazorthes et al. Advances in Drug Delivery Systems and Applications in Neurosurgery, 143-192 and Omaya et al., Cancer Drug Delivery, 1: 169-179, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference). The term "lumbar region" is intended to include the area between the third and fourth lumbar (lower back) vertebrae. The term "cisterna magna" is intended to include the area where the skull ends and the spinal cord begins at the back of the head. The term "cerebral ventricle" is intended to include the cavities in the brain that are continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord. Administration of a compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) to any of the above mentioned sites can be achieved by direct injection of the pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) or by the use of infusion pumps. For injection, the pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated in liquid solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hank's solution or Ringer's solution. In addition, the pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in solid form and re-dissolved or suspended immediately prior to use. Lyophilized forms are also included. The injection can be, for example, in the form of a bolus injection or continuous infusion (e.g., using infusion pumps) of pharmaceutical composition.

[0458] In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) is administered by lateral cerebro ventricular injection into the brain of a subject. The injection can be made, for example, through a burr hole made in the subject's skull. In another embodiment, the encapsulated therapeutic agent is administered through a surgically inserted shunt into the cerebral ventricle of a subject. For example, the injection can be made into the lateral ventricles, which are larger, even though injection into the third and fourth smaller ventricles can also be made.

[0459] In yet another embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is administered by injection into the cisterna magna, or lumbar area of a subject.

[0460] For oral administration, the compounds will generally be provided in unit dosage forms of a tablet, pill, dragee, lozenge or capsule; as a powder or granules; or as an aqueous solution, suspension, liquid, gels, syrup, slurry, etc. suitable for ingestion by the patient. Tablets for oral use may include the active ingredients mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as inert diluents, disintegrating agents, binding agents, lubricating agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preservatives. Suitable inert diluents include sodium and calcium carbonate, sodium and calcium phosphate, and lactose, while corn starch and alginic acid are suitable disintegrating agents. Binding agents may include starch and gelatin, while the lubricating agent, if present, will generally be magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. If desired, the tablets may be coated with a material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, to delay absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.

[0461] Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained through combination of a compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) with a solid excipient, optionally grinding a resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable additional compounds, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable solid excipients in addition to those previously mentioned are carbohydrate or protein fillers that include, but are not limited to, sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; starch from corn, wheat, rice, potato, or other plants; cellulose such as methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose or sodium carboxymethylcellulose; and gums including arabic and tragacanth; as well as proteins such as gelatin and collagen. If desired, disintegrating or solubilizing agents may be added, such as the cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, alginic acid, or a salt thereof, such as sodium alginate.

[0462] Capsules for oral use include hard gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with a solid diluent, and soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredients is mixed with water or an oil such as peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil. Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.

[0463] For transmucosal administration (e.g., buccal, rectal, nasal, ocular, etc.), penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art.

[0464] Formulations for rectal administration may be presented as a suppository with a suitable base comprising for example cocoa butter or a salicylate. Formulations suitable for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing in addition to the active ingredient such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate. For intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and intravenous use, the compounds will generally be provided in sterile aqueous solutions or suspensions, buffered to an appropriate pH and isotonicity. Suitable aqueous vehicles include Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride. Aqueous suspensions may include suspending agents such as cellulose derivatives, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone and gum tragacanth, and a wetting agent such as lecithin. Suitable preservatives for aqueous suspensions include ethyl and n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate.

[0465] The suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperatures and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials are cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.

[0466] The compounds can be delivered transdermally, by a topical route, formulated as applicator sticks, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, gels, creams, ointments, pastes, jellies, paints, powders, or aerosols.

[0467] The compounds may also be presented as aqueous or liposome formulations. Aqueous suspensions can contain a compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients include a suspending agent, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia, and dispersing or wetting agents such as a naturally occurring phosphatide (e.g., lecithin), a condensation product of an alkylene oxide with a fatty acid (e.g., polyoxyethylene stearate), a condensation product of ethylene oxide with a long chain aliphatic alcohol (e.g., heptadecaethylene oxycetanol), a condensation product of ethylene oxide with a partial ester derived from a fatty acid and a hexitol (e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitol mono-oleate), or a condensation product of ethylene oxide with a partial ester derived from fatty acid and a hexitol anhydride (e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate). The aqueous suspension can also contain one or more preservatives such as ethyl or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose, aspartame or saccharin. Formulations can be adjusted for osmolarity.

[0468] Oil suspensions can be formulated by suspending a compound of Formulas (I), (II) and (III) in a vegetable oil, such as arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin; or a mixture of these. The oil suspensions can contain a thickening agent, such as beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents can be added to provide a palatable oral preparation, such as glycerol, sorbitol or sucrose. These formulations can be preserved by the addition of an antioxidant such as ascorbic acid. As an example of an injectable oil vehicle, see Minto, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 281:93-102, 1997. The pharmaceutical formulations can also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase can be a vegetable oil or a mineral oil, described above, or a mixture of these. Suitable emulsifying agents include naturally-occurring gums, such as gum acacia and gum tragacanth, naturally occurring phosphatides, such as soybean lecithin, esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, such as sorbitan mono-oleate, and condensation products of these partial esters with ethylene oxide, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate. The emulsion can also contain sweetening agents and flavoring agents, as in the formulation of syrups and elixirs. Such formulations can also contain a demulcent, a preservative, or a coloring agent.

[0469] In addition to the formulations described previously, the compounds may also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation or transcutaneous delivery (e.g., subcutaneously or intramuscularly), intramuscular injection or a transdermal patch. Thus, for example, the compounds may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (e.g., as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.

[0470] The pharmaceutical compositions also may comprise suitable solid or gel phase carriers or excipients. Examples of such carriers or excipients include but are not limited to calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars, starches, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, and polymers such as polyethylene glycols.

[0471] For administration by inhalation, the compounds are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized packs or a nebulizer, with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of e.g., gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.

[0472] In general a suitable dose will be in the range of 0.01 to 100 mg per kilogram body weight of the recipient per day, preferably in the range of 0.1 to 10 mg per kilogram body weight per day. The desired dose is preferably presented once daily, but may be dosed as two, three, four, five, six or more sub-doses administered at appropriate intervals throughout the day.

[0473] The compounds can be administered as the sole active agent, or in combination with other known therapeutics to be beneficial in the treatment of neurological disorders. In any event, the administering physician can provide a method of treatment that is prophylactic or therapeutic by adjusting the amount and timing of drug administration on the basis of observations of one or more symptoms (e.g., motor or cognitive function as measured by standard clinical scales or assessments) of the disorder being treated. Details on techniques for formulation and administration are well described in the scientific and patent literature, see, e.g., the latest edition of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Maack Publishing Co, Easton Pa. After a pharmaceutical composition has been formulated in an acceptable carrier, it can be placed in an appropriate container and labeled for treatment of an indicated condition. For administration of the compounds of Formulas (I), (II) and (III), such labeling would include, e.g., instructions concerning the amount, frequency and method of administration.

Biological Examples

In Vivo Methods

Subjects:

[0474] Male C57BL/6J mice (Charles River; 20-25 g) were used for all assays except prepulse inhibition (PPI) which used male DBA/2N mice (Charles River, 20-25 g). For all studies, animals were housed five/cage on a 12-h light/dark cycle with food and water available ad libitum.

Conditioned Avoidance Responding:

[0475] Testing was performed in commercially available avoidance boxes (Kinder Scientific, Poway Calif.). The boxes were divided into two compartments separated by an archway. Each side of the chamber has electronic grid flooring that is equipped to administer footshocks and an overhead light. Training consisted of repeated pairings of the light (conditioned stimulus) followed by a shock (unconditioned stimulus). For each trial the light was presented for 5 sec followed by a 0.5 mA shock that would terminate if the mouse crossed to the other chamber or after 10 seconds. The intertrial interval was set to 20 seconds. Each training and test session consisted a four min habituation period followed by 30 trials. The number of avoidances (mouse crossed to other side during presentation of the light), escapes (mouse crossed to the other side during presentation of the shock) and failures (mouse did not cross during the entire trial period) were recorded by a computer. For study inclusion an animal had to reach a criterion of at least 80% avoidances for two consecutive test sessions.

PPI:

[0476] Mice were individually placed into the test chambers (StartleMonitor, Kinder Scientific, Poway Calif.). The animals were given a five min acclimation period to the test chambers with the background noise level set to 65 decibel (dB) which remained for the entire test session. Following acclimation, four successive trials 120 dB pulse for 40 msec were presented, however these trials were not included in data analysis. The mice were then subjected to five different types of trials in random order: pulse alone (120 dB for 40 msec), no stimulus and three different prepulse+pulse trials with the prepulse set at 67, 69 or 74 dB for 20 msec followed a 100 msec later by a 120 dB pulse for 40 msec. Each animal received 12 trials for each condition for a total of 60 trials with an average intertrial interval of 15 sec. Percent PPI was calculated according to the following formula: (1-(startle response to prepulse+pulse)/startle response to pulse alone)).times.100.

MK-801-Induced Hyperactivity:

[0477] After a 30 min acclimatation to the test room mice were individually placed into test cages for a 30 min habituation period. Following habituation to test cages, baseline activity was recorded for 60 min. Mice were then briefly removed and administered test compound and placed immediately back into the test cage. At 5 min prior to test time mice were again briefly removed from test cages and administered MK-801 (0.3 mg/kg, i.p. in 0.9% saline) and then immediately placed back into test cages and activity level recorded 1 hour. Activity level was measured as distance traveled in centimeters (Ethovision tracking software, Noldus Inc. Wageningen, Netherlands).

Catalepsy:

[0478] Mice were placed on a wire mesh screen set at a 60 degree angle with their heads facing upwards and the latency to move or break stance was recorded. Animals were given three trials per time point with a 30 sec cut-off per trial.

Data Analysis:

[0479] A one-way or two-way ANOVA was used to evaluate overall differences between treatments and a Tukey's post-hoc test or Student's t-test was used to evaluate differences between treatment groups for the one-way ANOVA and a Bonferroni test was used for the two-way ANOVA. The criterion for statistical significance was set to p.ltoreq.0.05.

In Vitro Methods

[0480] hPDE10A1 Enzyme Activity:

[0481] 50 .mu.l samples of serially diluted Human PDE10A1 enzyme were incubated with 50 .mu.l of [.sup.3H]-cAMP for 20 minutes (at 37.degree. C.). Reactions were carried out in Greiner 96 deep well 1 ml master-block. The enzyme was diluted in 20 mM Tris HCl pH7.4 and [.sup.3H]-cAMP was diluted in 10 mM MgCl.sub.2, 40 mM Tris.HCl pH 7.4. The reaction was terminated by denaturing the PDE enzyme (at 70.degree. C.) after which [.sup.3H]-5'-AMP was converted to [.sup.3H]-adenosine by adding 25 .mu.l snake venom nucleotidase and incubating for 10 minutes (at 37.degree. C.). Adenosine, being neutral, was separated from charged cAMP or AMP by the addition of 200 .mu.l Dowex resin. Samples were shaken for 20 minutes then centrifuged for 3 minutes at 2,500 r.p.m. 50 .mu.l of supernatant was removed and added to 200 .mu.l of MicroScint-20 in white plates (Greiner 96-well Optiplate) and shaken for 30 minutes before reading on Perkin Elmer TopCount Scintillation Counter.

hPDE10A1 Enzyme Inhibition:

[0482] To check inhibition profile 11 .mu.l of serially diluted inhibitor was added to 50 .mu.l of [.sup.3H]-cAMP and 50 ul of diluted Human PDE10A1 and assay was carried out as in the enzyme activity assay. Data was analysed using Prism software (GraphPad Inc). Representative compounds of this disclosure are shown in the table below.
