lZ93256 d) halogenating a compound of formula I wherein A is a group of formula II and R2 is a hydrogen to obtain the corresponding compound wherein R2 is halogen, or e) alkoxylating a compound of formula I wherein A is a group of formula II and R2 is halogen to obtain the corresponding compound wherein R2 is alkoxy, and recovering the resultant compound of formula I as such or as an acid addition salt or as a quaternary ammonium salt thereof.

The condensation process of the invention to obtain amides and esters may be effected in conventional manner for analogous compounds.

For example the carboxylic acid group may be activated in the form of a reactive acid derivative, especially for the production of amides.

Suitable reactive acid derivatives may be formed by reaction with N,N'-carbonyl-diimidazole producing an intermediate carboxylic acid imidaæolide, or with N-hydroxy-succinimide.
Alternatively an acid chloride may be used, e.g. produced by reaction with oxalyl chloride.

........

3Z5~

For production of esters, the alcohol may be used, e.g. in the form of an alkali metal salt, preferably the lithium salt.
Such salts may be produced in conventional manner, e.g. by reaction of a n-butyl lithium with the alcohol in tetrahydrofuran.
If desired a heterocyclic or tertiary amine, e.g. pyridine or triethylamine, may be present, especially for the production of amides.

Suitable reaction temperatures may be from about - 10 ~ to I0 about 10C- In the case of compounds wherein B is NH and D is a group of formula IV the reaction temperature may be for example up to about 100 C ,e.g. in boiling methanol or ethanol.

Other suitable inert organic solvents include, e.g tetrahydrofuran or dimethoxyethane.

In these reactions the endo or exo configuration of the substituent B in the group of formula III is believed to be maintained. The compound of formula VI may be reacted if desired as a mixture of endo and exo isomers and the pure endo or exo isomer isolated, e.g. by chromatography or crystallization.

The compounds of the invention may be converted into other compounds of the invention, e.g. in conventional manner. Some interconversions are exemplified in processes b), c), d) and e).

The alkylation reaction of process b) may be effected in conventional manner. ~ny free amino group may be alkylated, especially compounds of formula II wherein X = NH.
Appropriate alkylation con~itions include reaction with an alkyl halide in the presence of a sodium alcoholate. Suitable temperatures may be from about - 50C to about - 30C.

~, ~

~3Z~6 The deprotection reaction of process c) is specifically suitable for the production of compounds with secondary amino groups, e.g. R4 = H in the group of formula III or primary amino groups.

For example a compound of formula I may be produced in protected form, e.g. R4 being replaced by a secondary amino protectiny group such as benzyl.

The benzyl group may be split off in conventional manner, e.g.
by hydrogenation to produce the corresponding compound of formula I wherein R4 is hydrogen.

Suitably the hydrogenation may be effected in the presence of palladium on active charcoal at room temperature or at a slightly elevated temperature. Suitable solvents include acetic acid, ethyl acetate or ethanol.

93~

Halogenation according to process d) may be effected in the conventional manner. For example reaction with N-chloro-succinimide may lead to chlorination. Such reactions may be effected in a suspension in chloroform. Reaction with N-iodo-succinimide may alternatively lead to iodina-tion.

Replacement of reactive h~logen groups according to process e) may be effected in conventional manner, e.g. by reaction with an appropriate alcohol at, e.g. room temperature from 10 to 20 hours at least.

A precursor of a starting material may be employed if desired.
Such a precursor may be capable of being converted into the starting material in conventional manner but instead the process of the invention is carried out with the precursor and the other starting material or materials or a precursor thereof. The resultant product is converted into the compound of the invention in conventional manner, e.g. by using the same reaction conditions by which the precursor may be converted into the starting material. Typical precursors include protected forms of a starting material, e.g. wherein amino groups are temporaril~ protected.

The compounds of the invention may be isolated and purified in conventional manner.

Insofar as the production of any starting material is not particularly described herein, it is known, or may be produced in analogous manner to known compounds, in analogous manner to that described herein, e.g. the examples, or to known procedures for analogous compounds.

Compounds of formula VI wherein B is -NH-, and D is a group of formula III wherein n is 4 are new. These compounds have never been specifically suggested before although they fall under various generic disclosures.

The compounds are useful intermediates, e.g. for the preparation of amides as described herein which have an interesting pharmacological profile and e.g. have never been disclosed as serotonin M antagonists and having other activities disclosed hereinafter.

These compounds of formula VI may for example be produced by reduction of the corresponding oxime, like the other compounds of formula VI wherein B is -NH-. Compounds of formula VI
wherein B is -O- may be produced in conventional manner by reduction of the corresponding ketone.

All the above reductions may be effected, e.g. by catalytic hydrogenation, e.g. over platinum ~believed to lead primarily to endo isomers), Bouveault-Blanc reaction procedures, e.g.
sodium/amyl alcohol or butanol (believed to lead primarily to exo isomers), or aluminum hydride procedures, or sodium borohydride (often leading to a mixture of endo/exo isomers).

Any mixture of the exo and endo forms may be separated by chromatography.

", 5~

Free base forms of compounds of the invention may be converted into salt forms. For example acid addition salts may be produced in conventional manner by reacting with a suitable acid, and vice versa. Suitable acids for salt formation include hydrochloric acid, malonic acid, hydrobromic acid, maleic acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, methanesulphonic acid, oxalic acid, and tartaric acid. Quaternary ammonium salts of the compounds of the invention may be produced in conventional manner, e.g. by reaction with methyl iodide.

- The compounds of the invention exhibit pharmacological activity and are therefore useful as pharmaceuticals,e.g. for therapy.

In particular the compounds exhibit serotonin M receptor antagonist activity as indicated in standard tests. For example, in one test the action of the compounds in inhibiting the action of serotonin in reducing the amplitude of the compound action potential from the isolated rabbit vagus nerve was observed according to the principles of Riccioppo Neto, European Journal of Pharmacology (1978) 49 351-356,under conditions permitting 10 differentation between action potentials generated in myelinated nerve fibres (A fibres) and those generated in small non-myelinated flbres (C fibres) as described by B.Oakley and R.Schater, Experimental Neurobiology, A Laboratory Manual, ! University of Michigan Press, 1978, p.85 to 96. Serotonin itself lS exerts its effect selectively on the C fibres and reduces the amplitude of the action potential ln these fibres progressively w;th dosage. This action of serotonin is not blocked by the known serotonin antagonlsts, metitepine, methysergide, BOL ~148, which have been said to block D receptors for serotonin, but not M
20 receptors (see Gaddam and Picarelli9 Brit.J.Pharmacol.(1957), 12, 323-328), It therefore appears that serotonin reduces the amplitude of the action potential carried by the C fibres through an effect mediated by M receptors ~or serotonin which are located on these nerve libres.

~?

3~5~i ~ 39 ~ 100-5819 The test may be effected by establishing a dose response curve for serotonin (10-7 - 5 x 10-6 M) after setting up the nerve. The serotonin is washed out and when the C fibre action potential has regained its original amplitude the compound of the invention at a set concentration of from about 10-16 M to about 10-6 M is preincubatPd with the nerve for 30 to 60 minutes. Varying concentrations of serotonin (10 7 to 10-4 M) are then applied with the compound of the invention at the concentration as was present during the preincubation period.

10 The M receptor antagonists of the invention either entirely block the action of serotonin (non-competitive antagonist) or cause a parallel shift of the serotonin/dose response curve to the right (i,e, increased concentrations of serotonin were required for effect) (competitlve antagonist). The PD'2 or PA2 value may be obtained in the conventional manner.

The serotonin M receptor antagonist activity is also indicated by inhibiting the effect of serotonin on the isolated rabbit heart according to the method of J.R.Fozard and A.T.Moborak Ali, European Journal of Pharmacology, (1978) 499 109-112 at 20 concentrations of 10-11 to 10-5 M of the compound of the invention. PD'2 or PA2 values may be calculated in the conventional manner.
.
The action of the compounds as serotinin M receptor antagonists for the treatment of analgesia is confirmed by action in the hot 25 plate test at a dose of from about 0.1 to 100 mg/kg s,c. or p.o.

~ J
~, 1~3256 ~ - 40 - 100-5819 i The serotonin M receptor antagonist activity is furthermore indicated in the cantharidine blister base test at a concentration of about 10-8 M. A blister is produced on the skin of the forearm of human volunteers with cantharidine. When S serotonin is applled to the base of such blisters it produces pain which can be measured, the intensity being proportional to the concentration of serotonin applied. The procedure has been described by C.A. Keele and D.Armstrong in Substances producing Pain and Itch, Edward Arnold, London9 1964, p.30 to 57. This 10 algesic action of serotonin is not inhibited by the serotonin D
receptorantagonists such as lysergic acid diethylamide or its bromo derivative and is therefore believed to be mediated by M
receptors.
.

In the procedure followed the area under the curve instead of the 15 peak amplltude is measured by a linear integrater coupled to a pain intensity indicator which is operated by the volunteer. With increasing concentrations of serotonin a cumulative dose-response curve to serotonin may be obtained. When no further reponse on increasing the serotonin concentration is obtained, the serotonin 20 is washed off and the blister incubated with physiological buffer solution for at least 40 mlnutes before the compound of the invention, e.g. the preferred compounds of Examples A-2 or A-3, ls~applied. The test substance is preincubated with the blister base for 30 minutes at a concentration of about 10-8 M before ~25 varying concentrations of serotonin~are applied. A Ph2 value may be obtained in the~conventional manner.

~ : ' ~t32S6 ; The compounds of the invention are therefore be indicated for use as serotonin M receptor antagonists e.g~ for the treatment of ; pain, especially migraine, vascular and cluster headaches and trigeminal neuralgia and also for the treatment of heart circulation disorders~ e.g, for the treatment of sudden death, and possibly as anti-psychotics.

An indicated daily dose is from about 0.5 to 500 mg conveniently administered in divided doses in unit dosage form 2 to 4 times a day containing from about 0.2 to about 250 mg of the compound or 10 in sustained release form.

.

3Z~6 :

The compounds of the invention furthermore exhibit anti-arrhythmic activity as indicated by their serotonin M
receptor antagonist activity and in standard tests. For example the compounds ~inhibit arrhythmias induced by norepinephrine in anaesthetized rats.~ In this test infusions of norepinerphrine (3 to 10 microgram/animal body weight) are given until an arrhythmic pha~se as indicated by ECG measurements lasts longer than 10 seconds duration. After control of 3 consecutive injections of norephinephriné the compound of the invention is injected at 10 from about 10 to about 500 microgram/kg animal body weight followed by norepinephrine injections. The arrhythmic phase is reduced, or abolished depending on the dose of test compound.

The compounds are therefore lndicated for use as anti-arrhythmic agents, An indicated daily dose is from about O.S to about 500 mg 15 conveniently administered orally or by injection in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day or in unit dosage form containing from about 0,2 to about 2S0 mg, or in sustained release form.
