Description
'~O 93/08166 2 1 1 ~ PCT/US92/07314 THEIR USE IN THERAPEUTICS
The present invention relates to novel compositions of matter. More particularly, the present invention relates to new isoguinoline and pyridine derivatives, processes for preparing these S compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds. The present invention further relates to the use of these compounds in the treatment of certain psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunction schizophrenia and parkinsonism.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Psychiat~ic diseases are thought to be due to dysfunctions in monoaminergic neuronal 10 systems, particularly those involving serotonin (5-HT,) and dopamine (DA).
Serotonin (5 HT~2 Anxiety is associated with increased activity in 5-HT systems. In animals where 5-HT hæ
been depleted, benzodiazepine anxiolytics are not active in anti-anxiety assays that they otherwise are effeclive in. Serotonin neurons have autoreceptors that, when activated by agonists, depress 15 firing ra~es of 5-HT cells. These receptors are of the S-HT,A subtype. Because they depress 5-HT
neuronal activity, it can be expected that 5 HTIA agonists will be an effective anxiolytic. Clinical1y, S-HTIA agonists have demonstrated anxioly~ic properties. The drug buspirone is the only currently available marketed 5-HT,~ agonist having anxiolytic activity. This compound antagonizes dopamine receptors at the same dose it stimulates S-HT,~ receptors. A similar drug, gepirone, also has 20 dopamine antagonist properties. These dopamine antagonist properties reduce the clinical utility of these compounds because long term treatment with dopamine antagonists can p~duce tardive dyskinesia.
Depression is a psychiatric condition thought to be associated with decreased 5-HT release.
~; Most anti-depressants potentiate the effects of 5-HT by blocking the termination of activity through 25 re-uptake into nenre terminals. Since some 5-HT", receptors are activated postsynaptically by 5-HT, 5-HT~ agonists may also be anti-depressants. Since the postsynaptic 5~ receptor may be less sensitive than the autoreceptor, high doses of 5~ agonists, panicularly ve~ effective ones (i.e.~
those causing greater stimulation of the 5-HT,~ receptor~ a parameter referred to as "efficacy")~ can be expected to be effective anti-depressants. Gepirone has already been demonstrated to have 30 ameliorative effccts on some depressive end points in some patients.
Serotonin is also involved in the regulation of feeding and sexual behavlor and in cardiovascular regulation. Thus~ 5~HT~ agonists may be useful in treating overealing and sexual dysfunction. These compounds have been shown to alter feeding and sexual behavior in animals.
5-HT,~ agonists are also known to depress sympathetic nerve discharge and thus lower blood 35 pressure. Thus, they may be useful in treating hypenension~ congestive heart failure by reducing cardiovascular afterload and hean attack by removing sympathetic drive to the heart.
The present invention relates to novel compositions of matter.

The present invention further relates to the use of these compounds in the treatment of certain psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunction schizophrenia and parkinsonism.

DoDamine(DA) Schizophrenia is thought to be due to hyperactivity in DA systems. Thus, currently available anti-psychotics are DA antagonists. Dopamine autoreceptors depress DA neuron firing rates, DA synthesis and release. Thus DA autoreceptor agonists can also be expected to be anti-5 psychotics. DA agonists are also useful for ~:a~ng Parkinsonism, a disease caused by degenerationof DA neurons, and hyperprolactinemia, since DA agonists depress prolactin release.
Dopamine autoreceptor antagonists are a new clæs of drug that increæe releæe of DA by releæing the DA neuron from autoreceptor control. Thus, these drugs can be expected to be useful in conditions treatable with amphetamine and other similar stimulants which directly rclease DA.
10 Dopamine autoreceptor agonists are expected to be much milder stimulants than amphetamines because they simply increase the release æsociated with the normal DA activity, by releasing the cell from autoreceptor control, rather than directly releasing DA. Thus, DA autoreceptor antagonists can be expected to be useful in treating overeating, attention deficit disorders, psychiatric, cognitive and motor retardation in demented and elderly patients, and in treating nausea and dizziness.
Drugs acting on central DA transmission are clinically effective in treating a variety of central nervous system disorders such as parkinsonism, schizophrenia, and manic-depressive illness.
In parkinsonism, for example, the nigro-neostriatal hypofunction can be restored by an increase in postsynaptic DA receptor stimulation. In schizophrenia, the condition can be normalized by achieving a decrease in postsynaptic DA receptor stimulation. Classical anti-psychotic agents 20 directly block the postsynaptic DA receptor. The same effect can be achieved by inhibition of in-traneuronal presynaptic events essential for the maintenance of adequate neurotransmission, transporl mechanism and transmitter synthesis.
In recent years a large body of pharmacological, biochemical and electrophysical evidence hac provided considerable support in favor of the existence of a specific population of central 25 autoregulatory DA receptors located in the dopaminergic neulon it~elf. These receptors are part of a homeostatic mechanism that modulates nerve i~pulse flow and transmitter synthesis and regulates the amount of DA released from the nerve endings.
Direct DA receptor agonists, like apomorphine, are able to activate the DA autoreceptors as well as the p~st synaptic DA receptors. The effects of autoreceptor stimulation appear to 30 predominate when apomorphine is administcred at low doses, whereas at higher doses the attenuation of DA transmission is outweighed by the enhancement of postsynapdc receptor stimulation. The anti-psychotic and anti-dyskinetic effects in man of low doses of apomorphine are likely due to the autoreceptor-stimulator properties of this DA receptor agonist. This body of Icnowledge indicates DA receptor stimulants with a high selectivity for central nervous DA
35 autoreceptors would be valuable in treating psychiatric disorders. The compounds of the present invention have a variety of effects at S-HTI~ and DA receptors, and offer a variety of utilities 2 ~ 2 ~

DoDamine(DA) Schizophrenia is thought to be due to hyperactivity in DA systems. Thus, currently available anti-psychotics are DA antagonists. Dopamine autoreceptors depress DA neuron firing rates, DA synthesis and release. Thus DA autoreceptor agonists can also be expected to be anti-5 psychotics. DA agonists are also useful for ~:a~ng Parkinsonism, a disease caused by degenerationof DA neurons, and hyperprolactinemia, since DA agonists depress prolactin release.
Dopamine autoreceptor antagonists are a new clæs of drug that increæe releæe of DA by releæing the DA neuron from autoreceptor control. Thus, these drugs can be expected to be useful in conditions treatable with amphetamine and other similar stimulants which directly rclease DA.
10 Dopamine autoreceptor agonists are expected to be much milder stimulants than amphetamines because they simply increase the release æsociated with the normal DA activity, by releasing the cell from autoreceptor control, rather than directly releasing DA. Thus, DA autoreceptor antagonists can be expected to be useful in treating overeating, attention deficit disorders, psychiatric, cognitive and motor retardation in demented and elderly patients, and in treating nausea and dizziness.
Drugs acting on central DA transmission are clinically effective in treating a variety of central nervous system disorders such as parkinsonism, schizophrenia, and manic-depressive illness.
In parkinsonism, for example, the nigro-neostriatal hypofunction can be restored by an increase in postsynaptic DA receptor stimulation. In schizophrenia, the condition can be normalized by achieving a decrease in postsynaptic DA receptor stimulation. Classical anti-psychotic agents 20 directly block the postsynaptic DA receptor. The same effect can be achieved by inhibition of in-traneuronal presynaptic events essential for the maintenance of adequate neurotransmission, transporl mechanism and transmitter synthesis.
In recent years a large body of pharmacological, biochemical and electrophysical evidence hac provided considerable support in favor of the existence of a specific population of central 25 autoregulatory DA receptors located in the dopaminergic neulon it~elf. These receptors are part of a homeostatic mechanism that modulates nerve i~pulse flow and transmitter synthesis and regulates the amount of DA released from the nerve endings.
Direct DA receptor agonists, like apomorphine, are able to activate the DA autoreceptors as well as the p~st synaptic DA receptors. The effects of autoreceptor stimulation appear to 30 predominate when apomorphine is administcred at low doses, whereas at higher doses the attenuation of DA transmission is outweighed by the enhancement of postsynapdc receptor stimulation. The anti-psychotic and anti-dyskinetic effects in man of low doses of apomorphine are likely due to the autoreceptor-stimulator properties of this DA receptor agonist. This body of Icnowledge indicates DA receptor stimulants with a high selectivity for central nervous DA
35 autoreceptors would be valuable in treating psychiatric disorders. The compounds of the present invention have a variety of effects at S-HTI~ and DA receptors, and offer a variety of utilities 2 ~ 2 ~

5-HT and DA Cell Flring (PART I - TABLE Il): Glass microelectrodes filled with pontamine sky blue in 2M NaCI were used for extracellular recordings from Sprague-Dawley rats anesthetized with chloral hydrate (400 mg~lcg i.p.). Drugs were injected intravenous and five 15 neurons were located in the dorsal raphe nucleus according to Aghajaruan et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp.
Ther. 137:178 (1970). DA neurons werc located in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNPC) and identified according to Bunney et al., l. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 185:560 (1973). For S HTIA agonist effects, the ED50 is the dose required to depress dorsal raphe neuron firing by 50% of the maximal depression obtainable. Lum and Piercey, Eur. J. Pharmacol. 149:9-15 (1988). For DA agonist 20 effects, the ED50 is the dose required to depress SNPC neuron firing by 50% for full agonists, or for partial agonists, the dose required to depress SNPC neuron firing by 50% of the maximal depression atlainable. Piercey and Hoffmann, l. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 243:391, (1987). For DA
antagonists, the ED50 is the dose reguired to reverse the depression of SNPC neuron firing caused by a DA agonist (usually either 1-3 mgJkg amphetamine, or 100 ugQcg apomorphine). For partial DA agonists, the antagonist ED50 is the dose required to reverse the agonist-induced depression of SNPC neuron firing by 50% of the maximum reversal. Piercey and Hoffmarm, J. Pharmacol.

Step 2, the benzylic alcohol, C2, is converted into the benzylic bromide, C3, with S NBS and triphenylphosphine. Step 3, the benzylic bromide, C3 is alkylated with the enolate of - ethyl acetate to give C4. Step 4, C4 is reduced to the alcohol, C5, with LAH. Step 5, the alcohol, C5, is oxidized under Swem conditions to afford the aldehyde, C6.
Step 6, the atdehyde, C6, is treated with vinylmagnesium bromide to afford the allylic alcohol, C7. Step 7, the atlylic alcohol, C7, is treated with triethylorthoacetate to cause a Claisen 10 rearrangement to give the ester, C8. Step 8, the ester, C8, is saponified with sodium hydroxide in aqueous methanol to afford the acid, C9. Step 9, the acid, C9, underwent a Curtus rearrangement with the aid of diphenylphosphorylazide to afford the carbamate, C10.
Step 10, the carbamate, C10, is cycliz'ed to the 1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,10b-transoctahydrobenzo[f~isoquinoline, Cll, using paJaformaldehyde and borontrifluoride-etherate.
15 Step 11, the carbamate, Cl 1, is saponified by refluxing potassium hydroxide in aqueous ethanol to afford the amine C12. Step 12, the amine, C12, is resolved into pure enantiomers by crystaDization with opticatly active di-~toluoyltartaric acid in methanol. From this point, step 12, each enantiomer is independently converted through the subsequent steps to afford opticatly pure products.
Step 13, the amine, now the pure enantiomer, C13, is converted into the propionamide, C14, 20 with propionylchloride. Step 14, the propionamide, C14, is reduced with LAH to give C15.
Altematively, from Step 13, the amine, the pure enantiomer, C13, can be converted directly into C15 by atkylation with bromopropane. Step 15, C15 is converted into the carboxamide, C16, by subsequent treatment with t-butyllithium and trimethylsilylisocyanate. The hydro-debrominated anatog, C17, was isolated as a side product. The hydro-debrominated analog, C17, can be 25 synthesized in high yield by treatment with t-butyllithium followed by a water quench.
Step 16, the carboxamide, C16, is dehydra~ed to the nitrile, C20, with the aid of Burgess' reagent. Step 17, the carboxamide, C16, is hydrogenated to remove the chlorine using palladi-um/carbon, affording C18. Step 18, the compound, C18. is dehydrated using Burgess' reagent to afford the nitrile, C19.

Step 2, the benzylic alcohol, C2, is converted into the benzylic bromide, C3, with S NBS and triphenylphosphine. Step 3, the benzylic bromide, C3 is alkylated with the enolate of - ethyl acetate to give C4. Step 4, C4 is reduced to the alcohol, C5, with LAH. Step 5, the alcohol, C5, is oxidized under Swem conditions to afford the aldehyde, C6.
Step 6, the atdehyde, C6, is treated with vinylmagnesium bromide to afford the allylic alcohol, C7. Step 7, the atlylic alcohol, C7, is treated with triethylorthoacetate to cause a Claisen 10 rearrangement to give the ester, C8. Step 8, the ester, C8, is saponified with sodium hydroxide in aqueous methanol to afford the acid, C9. Step 9, the acid, C9, underwent a Curtus rearrangement with the aid of diphenylphosphorylazide to afford the carbamate, C10.
Step 10, the carbamate, C10, is cycliz'ed to the 1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,10b-transoctahydrobenzo[f~isoquinoline, Cll, using paJaformaldehyde and borontrifluoride-etherate.
15 Step 11, the carbamate, Cl 1, is saponified by refluxing potassium hydroxide in aqueous ethanol to afford the amine C12. Step 12, the amine, C12, is resolved into pure enantiomers by crystaDization with opticatly active di-~toluoyltartaric acid in methanol. From this point, step 12, each enantiomer is independently converted through the subsequent steps to afford opticatly pure products.
Step 13, the amine, now the pure enantiomer, C13, is converted into the propionamide, C14, 20 with propionylchloride. Step 14, the propionamide, C14, is reduced with LAH to give C15.

Step 15, C15 is converted into the carboxamide, C16, by subsequent treatment with t-butyllithium and trimethylsilylisocyanate. The hydro-debrominated anatog, C17, was isolated as a side product. The hydro-debrominated analog, C17, can be 25 synthesized in high yield by treatment with t-butyllithium followed by a water quench.
Step 16, the carboxamide, C16, is dehydra~ed to the nitrile, C20, with the aid of Burgess' reagent. Step 17, the carboxamide, C16, is hydrogenated to remove the chlorine using palladi-um/carbon, affording C18. Step 18, the compound, C18. is dehydrated using Burgess' reagent to afford the nitrile, C19.
