Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a non-provisional application claiming priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0027395, filed on 26 Feb. 2015. The entire disclosure of the application identified in this paragraph is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure generally relates to a compound modulating receptor activity, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compound, and methods useful for treating diseases. The present disclosure relates to a compound useful as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and/or treatment of disorders mediated by glutamate dysfunction and mGluR5 comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the same.

BACKGROUND

[0003] Glutamate is the most prevalent excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammals. Glutamate plays an important role in numerous physiological functions such as cardiovascular regulation, perception and recognition, and synaptogenesis as well as learning and memory. As such, in the occurrence of imbalance in glutamate neurotransmission, various nervous and mental diseases such as schizophrenia may be caused, and thus glutamate plays an important role in physiology.

[0004] Glutamate mediates synaptic neurotransmission via ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR)--i.e., the activation of NMDA receptors, AMPA receptors and kainate receptors involved in rapid excitatory transmission (Nakanishi S. et al., Brain Res. Rev., (1998) 26: 230-235). In addition, glutamate plays a role in subtly regulating excitatory synaptic neurotransmission via the activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR).

[0005] Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) consist of eight (8) subtypes and are sub-divided into three groups (Groups I, II and III) according to arrangement, homology and pharmacological property. mGluR5 belongs to Group I, and it is known that mGluR5 interacts with NMDA receptors via various proteins and neurotransmission pathways. Therefore, because the balance of deficiency or hyperactivity of physiological function by NMDA receptors can be regulated via the modulation of mGluR5, to modulate mGluR5 is very important.

[0006] Since a variety of pathophysiological processes and disease states affecting the CNS are thought to be related to abnormal glutamate neurotransmission and NMDA receptor malfunction, modulators of mGluR5 receptors could be therapeutically beneficial in the treatment of various CNS diseases. Moreover, because mGluR5 receptor modulators which act through allosteric binding site have some advantages such as subtype selectivity, brain penetration and safety potential, many studies have reported that the mGluR5 positive allosteric modulators were useful for the treatment of schizophrenia and CNS diseases.

[0007] International Publication Nos. WO 2008/151184 and WO 2011/035324 disclose benzamide and O-benzyl nicotinamide derivatives as an mGluR5 positive allosteric modulator, respectively. International Publication No. WO 2010/124055 discloses 2-alkyl piperidine derivatives as an mGluR5 positive allosteric modulator, and International Publication No. WO 2011/082010 discloses tetrahydrotriazolopyridine derivative compounds. International Publication Nos. WO 2012/078817 and WO 2012/083224 disclose bicyclic pyrazole and bicyclic triazole compounds as an mGluR5 positive allosteric modulator, respectively.

SUMMARY

[0008] In an embodiment, there is provided imidazopyrimidine and imidazotriazine derivative compound as a positive allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

[0009] In another embodiment, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising the above imidazopyrimidine and imidazotriazine derivative compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient.

[0445] In various embodiments, both R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are optionally substituted pyridinyl, and such compounds include, but are not limited to, the following compounds: [0446] 2-(2-pyridyloxymethyl)-6-[6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridyl]imidazo[1,2-a]pyr- imidine; [0447] 2-[(5-fluoro-2-pyridyl)oxymethyl]-6-[6-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridyl]imidaz- o[1,2-a]pyrimidine; and [0448] 6-(5-fluoro-2-pyridyl)-2-(2-pyridyloxymethyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine.

[0449] As described herein, it is confirmed that the compounds of Chemical Formula (1) are effective as a positive allosteric modulator of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5 PAM). Also, they have selective activity as a positive allosteric modulator of mGluR5 PAM. Such medicinal effects of the compounds of Chemical Formula (1) can be maintained in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

[0450] Therefore, in still another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of disorder mediated by glutamate dysfunction and metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of Chemical Formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. The pharmaceutical composition may further comprise one or more additives selected from the group consisting of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent and adjuvant.

[0451] Specifically, the pharmaceutical composition may be a composition for a positive allosteric modulator of mGluR5.

[0452] In addition, the pharmaceutical composition may be a composition for the prevention and/or treatment of disorders mediated by glutamate dysfunction and mGluR5. The disorders mediated by glutamate dysfunction and mGluR5 may be, for example, schizophrenia, and include any disorders known as being related to glutamate dysfunction and mGluR5. In this regard, the article (N. Matosin et al., Schizophrenia Research, 2013, Vol. 146, pp. 170-176) reported the relation between a positive allosteric modulator of mGluR5 and the treatment of schizophrenia.

[0453] The pharmaceutically acceptable salt includes any acid or base addition salts, and any stereochemical isomer thereof. These salts are not specifically limited and may be any salt that is able to retain activity of a parent compound thereof in a target subject and does not cause any undesirable effect. Examples of these salts are both inorganic and organic salts, such as acetic acid, nitric acid, aspartic acid, sulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, maleic acid, glutamic acid, formic acid, succinic acid, phosphoric acid, phthalic acid, tannic acid, tartaric acid, hydrobromic acid, propionic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, stearic acid, cresylic acid, lactic acid, bicarbonic acid, bisulfuric acid, bitartaric acid, oxalic acid, butylic acid, calcium edatate, camsylic acid, carbonic acid, chlorobenzoic acid, citric acid, edetic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, edicylinic acid, ecylinic acid, fumaric acid, gluceptic acid, pamoic acid, gluconic acid, glycollarsanylic acid, methyl nitrate, polygalactronic acid, hexyllisorcynonic acid, malonic acid, hydrobamic acid, hydrochlorinic acid, hydroiodic acid, hydroxynaphtholic acid, isethionic acid, lactobionic acid, mandelic acid, estolinic acid, mucic acid, muconic acid, p-nitromethanesulfonic acid, hexamic acid, phantothenic acid, monohydrogen phosphoric acid, dihydrogen phosphoric acid, salicylic acid, sulfamine acid, sulfanilic acid, methanesulfonic acid and theoclic acid. In addition, examples of a basic salt are an ammonium salt, a salt of an alkali or alkali earth metal such as lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, or calcium, a salt containing an organic base such as benzathine, N-methyl-D-glucamine, or hydrabamine, and a salt containing an amino acid such as arginine or lysine. These salts may be converted into a free form by treatment with appropriate acid or base. The term "addition salt" may be taken to include solvates obtainable from any of the compounds of Chemical Formula (1) and salts thereof. Examples of these solvates are hydrates and alcoholates.

[0454] The pharmaceutical composition may be formulated into various types for oral or parenteral administration. For example, it may be formulated into any dosage form for oral administration such as tablets, pills, soft/hard capsules, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, granules and elixirs. Besides the effective ingredient, such a dosage form for oral administration may further include any pharmaceutically acceptable carriers depending on a typical construction of each formulation--for example, diluents such as lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose and/or glycine, or lubricants such as silica, talc, steric acid and its magnesium or calcium salt, and/or polyethylene glycol.

[0455] In addition, in case the formulation for oral administration is in a tablet form, it may also comprise binding agents such magnesium aluminum silicate, starch paste, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and/or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and if desired, it may also include disintegrating agents such as starch, agar, or alginic acid or its sodium salt, or a boiling mixture, and/or an absorbing agent, a colorant, a flavoring agent, or a sweetening agent.

[0456] The pharmaceutical composition may be formulated into a form of parenteral administration.

Experimental Example: Pharmacological Activity Test

[1073] Efficacy as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of mGluR5 of the compounds of the Examples was tested as follows:

[1074] Calcium Influx Assay Based on Fluorescence

[1075] Ca.sup.2+ (calcium) influx assay is an experiment for measuring the activity of a positive allosteric modulator of mGluR5 receptor in which human mGluR5 receptor-overexpressed HEK293 cell line is used. The day before the experiment, cells were prepared in a cell culture medium (DMEM, 5% FBS) with the density of 80,000/well, and 100 .mu.l of cells were dispensed into each well of a poly-D-lysine-coated 96-well plate. Cells were incubated in a 5% CO.sub.2, 37.degree. C. incubator. The next day, the cell culture medium was removed from the plate, and 100 .mu.l of 1.times. Fluo-4 calcium indicator diluted with a buffer (1.times. Hank's balanced salt solution, 20 mM HEPES, 2.5 mM probenecid) were added to each well and incubated at 37.degree. C. for 1 hour. The compound stock solutions were prepared in 100% DMSO, and the compounds were serially diluted with a 1/4 dilution to 6 or 7 concentrations (final concentration was 10 .mu.M to 10 nM). The diluted compound solutions were added to the plate with 0.1 to 0.2% of final DMSO concentration. 1 hour after the addition of Fluo-4 calcium indicator, L-glutamate (EC.sub.20 concentration) and the test compound solutions were added to the plate, and Ca.sup.2+ reaction was then measured by FLIPR at room temperature. The activity of the compounds was standardized on the basis of the results of maximum value-minimum value of fluorescent reaction, and the activity value was calculated on the basis that no activity on glutamate EC.sub.20 is 0% and the reaction to glutamate maximum value is 100%.

[1076] In the same manner as in the above assay, the efficacy of the test compounds as a human mGluR5 positive allosteric modulator was calculated to EC.sub.50 and is represented in Table 1 (+: 500-1,000 nM, ++: 100-500 nM, +++: 100 nM or less).
