The present invention provides the use of a NK-1 receptor antagonist for the manufacture of a medicament adapted for oral administration for the treatmen t or prevention of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders and moveme nt disorders, methods of treatment using such a NK-1 receptor antagonist and pharmaceutical compositions and products comprising the same.
Description
WO 99/64010 PCT/GB99/01819 _ PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS
This invention relates to the treatment or prevention of certain schizophrenic disorders, certain substance use disorders, and movement disorders by the administration of a NK-1 receptor antagonist, in particular, 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The essential features of schizophrenia are a mixture of characteristic signs and symptoms (both positive and negative) which are present in an individual for a significant portion of time over at least one month. The so-called "active-phase" symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganised speech, disorganised or catatonic behaviour and negative symptoms (e.g. affective flattening, alogia and avolition).
Some patients have only a single episode of the illness, but most have either recurrent episodes or chronic illness.
The care of schizophrenic patients is a major part of the work of psychiatrists. The long-term care of schizophrenic patients is complicated, however, generally symptoms can at least be kept under control if patients with chronic schizophrenia receive long-term treatment with an antipsychotic drug. Frequently, schizophrenic symptoms cannot be controlled without invoking extrapyramidal side-effects. Consequently, antiparkinsonian drugs may also be prescribed to reduce these side-effects, however, the use of anticholinergic drugs may actually increase the risk of tardive dyskinesia (a late and sometimes irreversible side-effect of prolonged treatment with antipyschotic drugs).
Treatment of schizophrenia with antipsychotic (or neuroleptic) agents, such as haloperidol and chlorpromazine, is typically associated with a number of side-effects, including extrapyramidal symptoms, acute dystonias, tardive dyskinesias, akathesia, tremor, tachycardia, drowsiness, WO 99/64010 PCT/GB99/01819 _ confusion, postural hypotension, blurring of vision, precipitation of glaucoma, dry mouth, constipation, urinary hesitance and impaired sexual function. Such side-effects are often debilitating and contribute considerably to a patient's non-compliance with prescribed treatment.
They may also hinder a patient's social rehabilitation.
A common, though not inevitable, outcome of long-term drug use is the occurrence of a withdrawal response, which occurs either when the drug is withdrawn or when an antagonist is given and which usually takes the form of some sort of adverse reaction.
A withdrawal syndrome occurs in opiate addicts when the opiate is withdrawn or when an antagonist, such as naloxone, is given. The symptoms consist of yawning, rhinorrhoea, and sweating, followed by the so-called cold turkey, in which there is shivering and goose flesh. Later, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and hypertension may occur. The acute syndrome subsides within a week, but the addict may have anxiety and sleep disturbances for several weeks or months after. This syndrome can be avoided by introducing increasing doses of methadone as the opiate is withdrawn, as the later withdrawal of methadone, which has a much longer duration of action than morphine, may not result in this syndrome.
Delirium tremens may occur on withdrawal of alcohol from chronic alcoholics. This syndrome consists of disorientation and visual hallucinations.
Withdrawal of benzodiazepines after long-term therapy may result in a disturbance of sleep pattern (rebound insomnia assicated with abnormal sleep patterns), agitation, restlessness, and occasionally epileptic convulsions.
The pharmacological management of drug withdrawal disorders is not always effective and is often hampered by the addictive potential of many of the drugs which are prescribed to treat withdrawal symptoms.
Diseases of the extrapyramidal motor systems cause either a loss of movement (akinesia) accompanied by an increase in muscle tone (rigidity) or abnormal involuntary movements (dyskinesias) often accompanied by a reduction in muscle tone. The akinetic-rigid syndrome called parkinsonism, and the dyskinesias represent opposite ends of the spectrum of movement disorders (for review see C. D. Marsden in Oxford Textbook of Medicine, 3rd Edition, Oxford University Press, 1996, vol. 3, pages 3998-4022).
Treatment of akinetic-rigid conditions such as parkinsonism typically involves the use of levodopa, anticholinergics or dopamine agonists. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain by the enzyme dopa decarboxylase. However, this enzyme is also present in the gut wall, liver, kidney and cerebral capillaries, thus the peripheral formation of levodopa metabolites may give rise to side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, cardiac dysrhythmias and postural hypotension. This peripheral decarboxylation is largely prevented by the addition of a selective extracerebral decarboxylase inhibitor, such as carbidopa or benserazide, which themselves do not penetrate the brain. Levodopa combined with carbidopa (SINEMET'"~ or benserazide (MADOPA.R,"~ is now the treatment of choice when levodopa is indicated. Even then, this combination therapy may be associated with side-effects such as dyskinesias and psychiatric disturbances.
An anticholinergic such as benzhexol or orphenadrine may be used, however, anticholinergics cause peripheral parasympathetic blockade which may cause dry mouth; blurred vision and constipation, and they may also precipitate glaucoma, urinary retention and a toxic confusional state.
Dopamine agonists such as bromocriptine (PAR,LODELT'~, lisuride and pergolide (CELANCE~ act directly on dopamine receptors and have a similar side-effect profile to levodopa.
The dyskinesias, notably tremor, chorea, myoclonus, tics and dystonias, are treated with a variety of pharmacological agents. Thus, for example, tremor may be treated with benzodiazepines such as diazepam;
chorea may be treated with diazepam, a phenothiazide or haloperidol, or tetrabenazine; tics may be controlled with neuroleptics such as haloperidol or pimozide; and dystonias tend to be treated with levodopa, benzodiazepines such as diazepam, anticholinergics such as benzhexol, phenothiazines and other neuroleptics such as haloperidol, and tetrabenazine.
Treatment of psychotic disorders with neuroleptic agents, such as haloperidol may be at the expense of a number of side-effects, including extrapyramidal symptoms, acute dystonias, tardive dyskinesias, akathesia, tremor, tachycardia, drowsiness, confusion, postural hypotension, blurring of vision, precipitation of glaucoma, dry mouth, constipation, urinary hesitance and impaired sexual function.
Neurokinin 1 (NK-1; substance P) receptor antagonists are being developed for the treatment of a number of physiological disorders associated with an excess or imbalance of tachykinins, and in particular substance P. Examples of conditions in which substance P has been implicated include disorders of the central nervous system such as anxiety, depression and psychosis (see, for instance, International (PCT) patent specification Nos. WO 95/1GG79, WO 95/18124 and WO 95/23798).
On the other hand, European Patent Specification No. 0 286 928 describes inhibitors of the enzyme prolyl-endopeptidase, which enzyme degrades neuropeptides such as substance P, the enzyme inhibitors having an antipsychotic, anxiolytic and antidepressant action. Thus, degrading substance P or reducing the action of substance P in some other way (e.g.
antagonism at its preferred NK-1 receptor) might be expected to be detrimental to the treatment of psychoses such as schizophrenic disorders.
More recently, International (PCT) patent specification No. WO
96/24353 (published 15th August 199G) suggests that a more efficacious and safe treatment of psychiatric disorders would be achieved using a combination of a tachykinin antagonist and a serotonin agonist or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
It has been reported that central (i.c.v.) injection of RP67580 could attenuate naloxone-precipitated withdrawal signs in rats receiving morphine for five days (Maldonado et al, Neurosci. Letts., 156:135, 1993).
This study resembles an earlier report using guinea-pigs showing that the morphine withdrawal response was inhibited by i.c.v. injection of peptide substance P antagonists (Johnston & Chahl, Arch. Pharrnacol., 343:283, 1991). These investigators subsequently attempted to block the withdrawal response in guinea-pigs using systemic administration of CP-96,345, and found that only high doses (20mglkg) were active, and this could therefore not be attributed with confidence to a specific blockage of NK-1 receptors (Chahl & Johnston, Regul. Pept. Suppl. 1, 543, 1992).
In view of the short-comings of existing antipsychotic therapy, there is a need for new, safe and effective treatment for schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders.
The present invention provides the use of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in an oral, once-a-day medicament for the treatment of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders.
The compounds of this class advantageously exhibit a rapid onset of action and a reduced side-effect profile when compared against conventional antipsychotic agents.
The exceptional pharmacology of the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use in the present invention enables the treatment of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders, without the need for concomitant therapy and in particular, without the need for concomitant therapy.
Furthermore, the exceptional pharmacology of the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use in the present invention results in a rapid onset of action.
The present invention accordingly provides the use of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the manufacture of a medicament adapted for oral administration for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders.
The present invention also provides a method for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders, which method comprises the oral administration to a patient in need of such treatment of an effective amount of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof_ In a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided an oral pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders which comprises 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
There exists a patient population in whom schizophrenic disorders are inadequately treated with existing antipsychotic therapy.
Furthermore, some patients may be adversely affected by the side-effects of antipsychotic drugs.
The present invention accordingly provides the use of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for the manufacture of a medicament adapted for oral administration for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders in a patient who is non-responsive to antipsychotic agents, or for whom antipsychotic agents are contraindicated.
_7_ The present invention also provides a method for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders in a patient who is non-responsive to antipsychotic agents, or for whom antipsychotic agents are contraindicated, which method comprises oxal administration to the patient in need of such treatment of an effective amount of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3, 5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Whilst it is envisaged that 2-(R.)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, will be useful alone in the treatment of schizophrenic disorders, it will be appreciated that a combination of a conventional antipsychotic drug with a NK-1 receptor antagonist may provide an enhanced effect in the treatment of schizophrenic disorders. Such a combination would be expected to provide for a rapid onset of action to treat schizophrenic symptoms thereby enabling prescription on an "as needed basis".
Furthermore, such a combination may enable a lower dose of the antipsychotic agent to be used without compromising the efficacy of the antipsychotic agent, thereby minimising the risk of adverse side-effects. A
yet further advantage of such a combination is that, due to the action of the NK-1 receptor antagonist, adverse side-effects caused by the antipsychotic agent such as acute dystonias, dyskinesias, akathesia and tremor may be reduced or prevented.
Thus, according to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an antipsychotic agent for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders.
The present invention also provides a method for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders, which method comprises administration to a patient in need of such treatment of an amount of 2-(R,)-{1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an amount of an antipsychotic agent, such that together they give effective relief.
It will be appreciated that the NK-1 receptor antagonist and the antipsychotic agent may be present as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders. Such combined preparations may be, for example, in the form of a twin pack.
In a further or alternative aspect of the present invention, there is therefore provided a product comprising 2-(R)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an antipsychotic agent as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders.
There also exists a patient population in whom dyskinesias are inadequately treated with existing neuroleptic therapy. Furthermore, some patients may be adversely affected by the side-effects of neuroleptic drugs.
The present invention accordingly provides the use of 2-(R.)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the manufacture of a medicament adapted for oral administration for the treatment or prevention of dyskinesias in a patient who is non-responsive to neuroleptic agents, or for whom neuroleptic agents are contraindicated.
_9_ The present invention also provides a method for the treatment or prevention of dyskinesias in a patient who is non-responsive to neuroleptic agents, or for whom neuroleptic agents are contraindicated, which method comprises oral administration to the patient in need of such treatment of an effective amount of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-( 1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Whilst it is envisaged that 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-{3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4 (1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, will be useful alone in the treatment of movement disorders, it will be appreciated that a combination of a conventional antiparkinsonian drug with 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may provide an enhanced effect in the treatment of akinetic-rigid disorders such as parkinsonism. Such a combination may enable a lower dose of the antiparkinsonian agent to be used without compromising the efficacy of the antiparkinsonian agent, thereby minimising the risk of adverse side-effects.
Thus, according to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-{S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an antiparkinsonian agent for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of akinetic-rigid disorders.
The present invention also provides a method for the treatment or prevention of akinetic-rigid disorders, which method comprises administration to a patient in need of such treatment of an amount of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an amount of an antiparkinsonian agent, such that together they give effective relief.
In a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-{1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an antiparkinsonian agent, together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
It will be appreciated that the NK-1 receptor antagonist and the antiparkinsonian agent may be present as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use for the treatment or prevention of akinetic-rigid disorders. Such combined preparations may be, for example, in the form of a twin pack.
In a further or alternative aspect of the present invention, there is therefore provided a product comprising 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an antiparkinsonian agent as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment or prevention of akinetic-rigid disorders.

Such a combination may enable a lower dose of the neuroleptic agent to be used without compromising the efficacy of the neuroleptic agent, thereby minimising the risk of adverse side-effects. A yet further advantage of such a combination is that, due to the action of the NK-1 receptor antagonist, adverse side-effects caused by the neuroleptic agent such as acute dystonias, dyskinesias, akathesia and tremor may be reduced or prevented.
Thus, according to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of 2-(R)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a neuroleptic agent for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of dyskinesias.
The present invention also provides a method for the treatment or prevention of dyskinesias, which method comprises administration to a patient in need of such treatment of an amount of 2-(R.)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an amount of a neuroleptic agent, such that together they give effective relief.
In a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a neuroleptic agent, together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

Preferably the compositions containing the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use according to the present invention are in unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, capsules, wafers and the like. Additionally, the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use according to the present invention may be presented as granules or powders for extemporaneous formulation as volume defined solutions or suspensions. Alternatively, the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use according to the present invention may be presented in ready-prepared volume defined solutions or suspensions.
Preferred forms are tablets and capsules.
For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g. conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g. water, to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention, or a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation composition is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention. The tablets or pills of the novel composition can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permits the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol and cellulose acetate.
The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally include aqueous solutions, suitably flavoured syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavoured emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil or soybean oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

The activity of the NK-1 receptor antagonists of use in the present invention may be measured using the following assays:
ASSAY 1: NK-1 Receptor binding NK-1 receptor binding assays are performed in intact Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human NK-1 receptor using a modification of the assay conditions described by Cascieri et al, J.
Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 1992, 42, 458. Typically, the receptor is expressed at a level of 3x105 receptors per cell. Cells are grown in monolayer culture, detached from the plate with enzyme-free dissociation solution (Speciality Media Inc.), and washed prior to use in the assay. Iz5I_Tyr$-substance P
(0. lnM, 2000Ci/mmol; New England Nuclear) is incubated in the presence or absence of test compounds (dissolved in 5Nl dimethylsulphoxide, DMSO) with 5x104 CHO cells. Ligand binding is performed in 0.25m1 of 50mM
Tris-HCI, pH7.5, containing 5mM MnCla, 150mM NaCI, 0.02% bovine serum albumin (Sigma), 50~g/ml chymostatin (Peninsula), 0.lnM
phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride, 2~.g/ml pepstatin, 2~.g/ml leupeptin and 2.8pg/ml furoyl saccharine. The incubation proceeds at room temperature until equilibrium is achieved (>40 minutes) and the receptor-ligand complex is harvested by filtration over GF/C filters pre-soaked in 0.1%
polyethylenimine using a Tomtek 9G-well harvester. Non-specific binding is determined using excess substance P (1~ and represents <10% of total binding.
ASSAY 2: Gerbil Foot-Tapping CNS-penetrant NK-1 receptor antagonists for use in the present invention can be identifiied by their ability to inhibit foot tapping in gerbils induced by anxiogenic agents {such as pentagastrin) or central infusion of NK-1 receptor agonists such as GR73632, or caused by aversive stimulation such as foot shock or single housing, based on the method of Rupniak & Williams, Eur. J. Phczrmacol., 1994, 265, 179.
Male or female Mongolian gerbils (35-70g) are anaesthetised by inhalation of an isoffuraneloxygen mixture to permit exposure of the jugular vein in order to permit administration of test compounds or vehicle in an injection volume of 5m1/kg i.v. Alternatively, test compounds may be administered orally or by subcutaneous or intraperitoneal routes. A skin incision is then made in the midline of the scalp to expose the skull. An anxiogenic agent {e.g. pentagastrin) or a selective NK-1 receptor agonist (e.g. GR73632 (d Ala[L-Pro9,Me-Leu»~-substance P-(7-11)) is infused directly into the cerebral ventricles (e.g. 3pmo1 in 5~1 i.c.v., depending on test substance) by vertical insertion of a cuffed 27 gauge needle to a depth of 4.5mm below bregma. The scalp incision is closed and the animal allowed to recover from anaesthesia in a clear perspex observation box (25cm x 20cm x 20cm). The duration and/or intensity of hind foot tapping is then recorded continuously for approximately 5 minutes. Alternatively, the ability of test compounds to inhibit foot tapping evoked by aversive stimulation, such as foot shock or single housing, may be studied using a similar method of quantification.
ASSAY 3: Ferret Emesis Individually housed male ferrets (1.0 -2.5 kg) are dosed orally by gavage with test compound. Ten minutes later they are fed with approximately 100g of tinned cat food. At 60 minutes following oral dosing, cisplatin (l0mg/kg) is given i.v. uia a jugular vein catheter inserted under a brief period of halothane anaesthesia. The catheter is then removed, the jugular vein ligated and the skin incision closed. The ferrets recover rapidly from the anaesthetic and are mobile within 10-20 minutes. The animals are observed continuously during recovery from the anaesthetic and for 4 hours following the cisplatin injection, after which time the animals are killed humanely. The numbers of retches and vomits occurring during the 4 hours after cisplatin administration are recorded by trained observers.
ASSAY 4: Separation-Induced Vocalisation Male and female guinea-pigs pups are housed in family groups with their mothers and littermates throughout the study. Experiments are commenced after weaning when the pups are 2 weeks old. Before entering an experiment, the pups are screened to ensure that a vigorous vocalisation response is reproducibly elicited following maternal separation. The pups are placed individually in an observation cage (55cm x 39cm x l9cm) in a room physically isolated from the home cage for 15 minutes and the duration of vocalisation during this baseline period is recorded. Only animals which vocalise for longer than 5 minutes are employed for drug challenge studies (approximately 50% of available pups may fail to reach this criterion). On test days each pup receives an oral dose or an s.c. or i.p. injection of test compound or vehicle and is then immediately returned to the home cage with its mother and siblings for 30 to GO minutes (or for up to 4 hours following an oral dose, dependent upon the oral pharmacokinetics of the test compound) before social isolation for 15 minutes as described above. The duration of vocalisation on drug treatment days is expressed as a percentage of the pre-treatment baseline value for each animal. The same subjects are retested once weekly for up to G weeks. Between 6 and 8 animals receive each test compound at each dose tested.
As used herein, the term "CNS-penetrant" refers to NK-1 receptor antagonists which are able to inhibit NK-1 receptor antagonist-induced foot-tapping in the gerbil as hereinafter defined.
Essentially, hind foot-tapping in the gerbil induced by infusion of the NK-1 receptor agonist, GR73632 (d Ala[L-Pro~,Me-Leulfl]-substance P-(7-11)), under anaesthesia, directly into the central ventricles is inhibited when a CNS-penetrant NK-1 receptor antagonist is administered intravenously immediately prior to GR73632 challenge, wherein hind foot-tapping over a period of five minutes following recovery from the anaesthesia is inhibited with an ID~o<_3mg/kg, and preferably with an IDso<_ lmg/kg.
In an alternative method, the NK-1 receptor antagonist is administered orally, 1 hour prior to GR73632 challenge, wherein the foot-tapping over a period of five minutes following recovery from anaesthesia is inhibited with an IDso<_30mg/kg, and preferably with an IDsoslOmg/kg.
CNS-penetrant NK-1 receptor antagonists of use in the present invention are also effective in the attenuation of separation-induced vocalisations by guinea-pig pups as hereinafter defined.
Essentially, a vocalisation response in guinea-pig pups is induced by isolation from their mothers and littermates, which response is attenuated when a CNS-penetrant NK-1 receptor antagonist is administered subcutaneously 30 minutes prior to isolation, wherein vocalisations during the first 15 minutes of isolation are attenuated with an IDso<_20mg/kg, preferably with an IDso<_lOmg/kg, and especially with an IDso<_5mg/kg.
In an alternative method, the NK-1 receptor antagonist is administered orally, 4 hours prior to isolation, wherein vocalisations during the first 15 minutes of isolation are attenuated with an IDSO<_20mg/kg, preferably with an ID~o<_lOmg/kg, and especially with an IDso__<5mg/kg.

(iii) Determine central duration of action of compounds in gerbil foot tapping assay following intravenous administration 24 hours prior to central NK1 agonist challenge; select compounds showing _< 25-fold loss of potency compared with IDso determined in step (ii) above with the proviso that IDso s l0mg/kg i.v., and preferably s 5mg/kg i.v. after 24 hour pre-treatment.
(iv) Determine oral bioavailability of compounds by pharmacoki.netic analysis, activity in gerbil foot tapping assay following oral administration and/or by ability to inhibit cisplatin-induced emesis in ferrets (Assay 3);
select compounds with IDso s 3mg/kg p.o., and preferably ID~o <_ lmg/kg p.o.
Particularly preferred compounds of use in the present invention are identified using steps (i) to (iv) followed by step (v).
(v) Determine activity of compounds in assays sensitive to conventional antipsychotic drugs (inhibition of distress vocalisations in guinea-pig pups (Assay 4)). Select compounds with IDso <_ 20mg/kg, and preferably IDso <_ lOmg/kg.
Yet further preferred compounds of use in the present invention may be selected from those compounds which satisfy the NK-1 receptor binding criteria of step (i) which, in addition, have <_ 5-fold shift in affinity when incubated in the presence of human serum albumin (HSA) to show non-specific protein binding.
The NK-1 receptor antagonist of use in the present invention is the compound 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, the preparation of which is described in International Patent Specification No.
WO 95/18124 and US Patent No. 5,612,337. In the aforementioned assays, this compound has the following activity:
human NK-1 receptor binding: ICso= 0.12 nM
gerbil foot-tapping (5 mins.): ID~a = 0.38 mg/kg i.v.
gerbil foot-tapping (24 hrs.): IDSO = 2.2 mg/kg i.v.

This invention relates to the treatment or prevention of certain schizophrenic disorders, certain substance use disorders, and movement disorders by the administration of a NK-1 receptor antagonist, in particular, 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The essential features of schizophrenia are a mixture of characteristic signs and symptoms (both positive and negative) which are present in an individual for a significant portion of time over at least one month. The so-called "active-phase" symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganised speech, disorganised or catatonic behaviour and negative symptoms (e.g. affective flattening, alogia and avolition).
Some patients have only a single episode of the illness, but most have either recurrent episodes or chronic illness.
The care of schizophrenic patients is a major part of the work of psychiatrists. The long-term care of schizophrenic patients is complicated, however, generally symptoms can at least be kept under control if patients with chronic schizophrenia receive long-term treatment with an antipsychotic drug. Frequently, schizophrenic symptoms cannot be controlled without invoking extrapyramidal side-effects. Consequently, antiparkinsonian drugs may also be prescribed to reduce these side-effects, however, the use of anticholinergic drugs may actually increase the risk of tardive dyskinesia (a late and sometimes irreversible side-effect of prolonged treatment with antipyschotic drugs).
Treatment of schizophrenia with antipsychotic (or neuroleptic) agents, such as haloperidol and chlorpromazine, is typically associated with a number of side-effects, including extrapyramidal symptoms, acute dystonias, tardive dyskinesias, akathesia, tremor, tachycardia, drowsiness, WO 99/64010 PCT/GB99/01819 _ confusion, postural hypotension, blurring of vision, precipitation of glaucoma, dry mouth, constipation, urinary hesitance and impaired sexual function. Such side-effects are often debilitating and contribute considerably to a patient's non-compliance with prescribed treatment.
They may also hinder a patient's social rehabilitation.
A common, though not inevitable, outcome of long-term drug use is the occurrence of a withdrawal response, which occurs either when the drug is withdrawn or when an antagonist is given and which usually takes the form of some sort of adverse reaction.
A withdrawal syndrome occurs in opiate addicts when the opiate is withdrawn or when an antagonist, such as naloxone, is given. The symptoms consist of yawning, rhinorrhoea, and sweating, followed by the so-called cold turkey, in which there is shivering and goose flesh. Later, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and hypertension may occur. The acute syndrome subsides within a week, but the addict may have anxiety and sleep disturbances for several weeks or months after. This syndrome can be avoided by introducing increasing doses of methadone as the opiate is withdrawn, as the later withdrawal of methadone, which has a much longer duration of action than morphine, may not result in this syndrome.
Delirium tremens may occur on withdrawal of alcohol from chronic alcoholics. This syndrome consists of disorientation and visual hallucinations.
Withdrawal of benzodiazepines after long-term therapy may result in a disturbance of sleep pattern (rebound insomnia assicated with abnormal sleep patterns), agitation, restlessness, and occasionally epileptic convulsions.
The pharmacological management of drug withdrawal disorders is not always effective and is often hampered by the addictive potential of many of the drugs which are prescribed to treat withdrawal symptoms.
Diseases of the extrapyramidal motor systems cause either a loss of movement (akinesia) accompanied by an increase in muscle tone (rigidity) or abnormal involuntary movements (dyskinesias) often accompanied by a reduction in muscle tone. The akinetic-rigid syndrome called parkinsonism, and the dyskinesias represent opposite ends of the spectrum of movement disorders (for review see C. D. Marsden in Oxford Textbook of Medicine, 3rd Edition, Oxford University Press, 1996, vol. 3, pages 3998-4022).
Treatment of akinetic-rigid conditions such as parkinsonism typically involves the use of levodopa, anticholinergics or dopamine agonists. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain by the enzyme dopa decarboxylase. However, this enzyme is also present in the gut wall, liver, kidney and cerebral capillaries, thus the peripheral formation of levodopa metabolites may give rise to side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, cardiac dysrhythmias and postural hypotension. This peripheral decarboxylation is largely prevented by the addition of a selective extracerebral decarboxylase inhibitor, such as carbidopa or benserazide, which themselves do not penetrate the brain. Levodopa combined with carbidopa (SINEMET'"~ or benserazide (MADOPA.R,"~ is now the treatment of choice when levodopa is indicated. Even then, this combination therapy may be associated with side-effects such as dyskinesias and psychiatric disturbances.
An anticholinergic such as benzhexol or orphenadrine may be used, however, anticholinergics cause peripheral parasympathetic blockade which may cause dry mouth; blurred vision and constipation, and they may also precipitate glaucoma, urinary retention and a toxic confusional state.
Dopamine agonists such as bromocriptine (PAR,LODELT'~, lisuride and pergolide (CELANCE~ act directly on dopamine receptors and have a similar side-effect profile to levodopa.
The dyskinesias, notably tremor, chorea, myoclonus, tics and dystonias, are treated with a variety of pharmacological agents. Thus, for example, tremor may be treated with benzodiazepines such as diazepam;
chorea may be treated with diazepam, a phenothiazide or haloperidol, or tetrabenazine; tics may be controlled with neuroleptics such as haloperidol or pimozide; and dystonias tend to be treated with levodopa, benzodiazepines such as diazepam, anticholinergics such as benzhexol, phenothiazines and other neuroleptics such as haloperidol, and tetrabenazine.
Treatment of psychotic disorders with neuroleptic agents, such as haloperidol may be at the expense of a number of side-effects, including extrapyramidal symptoms, acute dystonias, tardive dyskinesias, akathesia, tremor, tachycardia, drowsiness, confusion, postural hypotension, blurring of vision, precipitation of glaucoma, dry mouth, constipation, urinary hesitance and impaired sexual function.
Neurokinin 1 (NK-1; substance P) receptor antagonists are being developed for the treatment of a number of physiological disorders associated with an excess or imbalance of tachykinins, and in particular substance P. Examples of conditions in which substance P has been implicated include disorders of the central nervous system such as anxiety, depression and psychosis (see, for instance, International (PCT) patent specification Nos. WO 95/1GG79, WO 95/18124 and WO 95/23798).
On the other hand, European Patent Specification No. 0 286 928 describes inhibitors of the enzyme prolyl-endopeptidase, which enzyme degrades neuropeptides such as substance P, the enzyme inhibitors having an antipsychotic, anxiolytic and antidepressant action. Thus, degrading substance P or reducing the action of substance P in some other way (e.g.
antagonism at its preferred NK-1 receptor) might be expected to be detrimental to the treatment of psychoses such as schizophrenic disorders.
More recently, International (PCT) patent specification No. WO
96/24353 (published 15th August 199G) suggests that a more efficacious and safe treatment of psychiatric disorders would be achieved using a combination of a tachykinin antagonist and a serotonin agonist or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
It has been reported that central (i.c.v.) injection of RP67580 could attenuate naloxone-precipitated withdrawal signs in rats receiving morphine for five days (Maldonado et al, Neurosci. Letts., 156:135, 1993).
This study resembles an earlier report using guinea-pigs showing that the morphine withdrawal response was inhibited by i.c.v. injection of peptide substance P antagonists (Johnston & Chahl, Arch. Pharrnacol., 343:283, 1991). These investigators subsequently attempted to block the withdrawal response in guinea-pigs using systemic administration of CP-96,345, and found that only high doses (20mglkg) were active, and this could therefore not be attributed with confidence to a specific blockage of NK-1 receptors (Chahl & Johnston, Regul. Pept. Suppl. 1, 543, 1992).
In view of the short-comings of existing antipsychotic therapy, there is a need for new, safe and effective treatment for schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders.
The present invention provides the use of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in an oral, once-a-day medicament for the treatment of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders.
The compounds of this class advantageously exhibit a rapid onset of action and a reduced side-effect profile when compared against conventional antipsychotic agents.
The exceptional pharmacology of the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use in the present invention enables the treatment of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders, without the need for concomitant therapy and in particular, without the need for concomitant therapy.
Furthermore, the exceptional pharmacology of the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use in the present invention results in a rapid onset of action.
The present invention accordingly provides the use of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the manufacture of a medicament adapted for oral administration for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders.
The present invention also provides a method for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders, which method comprises the oral administration to a patient in need of such treatment of an effective amount of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof_ In a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided an oral pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of schizophrenic disorders, substance use disorders, and movement disorders which comprises 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
There exists a patient population in whom schizophrenic disorders are inadequately treated with existing antipsychotic therapy.
Furthermore, some patients may be adversely affected by the side-effects of antipsychotic drugs.
The present invention accordingly provides the use of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for the manufacture of a medicament adapted for oral administration for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders in a patient who is non-responsive to antipsychotic agents, or for whom antipsychotic agents are contraindicated.
_7_ The present invention also provides a method for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders in a patient who is non-responsive to antipsychotic agents, or for whom antipsychotic agents are contraindicated, which method comprises oxal administration to the patient in need of such treatment of an effective amount of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3, 5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Whilst it is envisaged that 2-(R.)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, will be useful alone in the treatment of schizophrenic disorders, it will be appreciated that a combination of a conventional antipsychotic drug with a NK-1 receptor antagonist may provide an enhanced effect in the treatment of schizophrenic disorders. Such a combination would be expected to provide for a rapid onset of action to treat schizophrenic symptoms thereby enabling prescription on an "as needed basis".
Furthermore, such a combination may enable a lower dose of the antipsychotic agent to be used without compromising the efficacy of the antipsychotic agent, thereby minimising the risk of adverse side-effects. A
yet further advantage of such a combination is that, due to the action of the NK-1 receptor antagonist, adverse side-effects caused by the antipsychotic agent such as acute dystonias, dyskinesias, akathesia and tremor may be reduced or prevented.
Thus, according to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an antipsychotic agent for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders.
The present invention also provides a method for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders, which method comprises administration to a patient in need of such treatment of an amount of 2-(R,)-{1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an amount of an antipsychotic agent, such that together they give effective relief.
It will be appreciated that the NK-1 receptor antagonist and the antipsychotic agent may be present as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use for the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders. Such combined preparations may be, for example, in the form of a twin pack.
In a further or alternative aspect of the present invention, there is therefore provided a product comprising 2-(R)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an antipsychotic agent as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment or prevention of schizophrenic disorders.
There also exists a patient population in whom dyskinesias are inadequately treated with existing neuroleptic therapy. Furthermore, some patients may be adversely affected by the side-effects of neuroleptic drugs.
The present invention accordingly provides the use of 2-(R.)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the manufacture of a medicament adapted for oral administration for the treatment or prevention of dyskinesias in a patient who is non-responsive to neuroleptic agents, or for whom neuroleptic agents are contraindicated.

Whilst it is envisaged that 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-{3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4 (1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, will be useful alone in the treatment of movement disorders, it will be appreciated that a combination of a conventional antiparkinsonian drug with 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may provide an enhanced effect in the treatment of akinetic-rigid disorders such as parkinsonism. Such a combination may enable a lower dose of the antiparkinsonian agent to be used without compromising the efficacy of the antiparkinsonian agent, thereby minimising the risk of adverse side-effects.
Thus, according to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-{S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an antiparkinsonian agent for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of akinetic-rigid disorders.

In a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-{1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an antiparkinsonian agent, together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
It will be appreciated that the NK-1 receptor antagonist and the antiparkinsonian agent may be present as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use for the treatment or prevention of akinetic-rigid disorders. Such combined preparations may be, for example, in the form of a twin pack.
In a further or alternative aspect of the present invention, there is therefore provided a product comprising 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an antiparkinsonian agent as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment or prevention of akinetic-rigid disorders.
It will be further appreciated that a combination of a conventional neuroleptic drug with 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-( 1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may provide an enhanced effect in the treatment of dyskinesias. Such a combination may enable a lower dose of the neuroleptic agent to be used without compromising the efficacy of the neuroleptic agent, thereby minimising the risk of adverse side-effects. A yet further advantage of such a combination is that, due to the action of the NK-1 receptor antagonist, adverse side-effects caused by the neuroleptic agent such as acute dystonias, dyskinesias, akathesia and tremor may be reduced or prevented.
Thus, according to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided the use of 2-(R)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(triffuoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a neuroleptic agent for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of dyskinesias.
The present invention also provides a method for the treatment or prevention of dyskinesias, which method comprises administration to a patient in need of such treatment of an amount of 2-(R.)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an amount of a neuroleptic agent, such that together they give effective relief.
In a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-ffuorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a neuroleptic agent, together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
It will be appreciated that the NK-1 receptor antagonist and the neuroleptic agent may be present as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use for the treatment or prevention of dyskinesias. Such combined preparations may be, for example, in the form of a twin pack.
In a further or alternative aspect of the present invention, there is therefore provided a product comprising 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4 (1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an neuroleptic agent as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment or prevention of dyskinesias.
It will be appreciated that when using a combination of the present invention, the NK-1 receptor antagonist and the antipsychotic, antiparkinsonian, or neuroleptic agent may be in the same pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and therefore administered simultaneously. They may be in separate pharmaceutical carriers such as conventional oral dosage forms which are taken simultaneously. The term "combination" also refers to the case where the compounds are provided in separate dosage forms and are administered sequentially. Therefore, by way of example, the antipsychotic, antiparkinsonian, or neuroleptic agent may be administered as a tablet and then, within a reasonable period of time, the NK-1 receptor antagonist may be administered either as an oral dosage form such as a tablet or a fast-dissolving oral dosage form. By a "fast-dissolving oral formulation" is meant, an oral delivery form which when placed on the tongue of a patient, dissolves within about 10 seconds.

Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use in the present invention include acid addition salts which may, for example, be formed by mixing a solution of the compound with a solution of a pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acid such as hydrochloric acid, fumaric acid, malefic acid, succinic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, carbonic acid, phosphoric acid or sulphuric acid. Salts of amine groups may also comprise the quaternary ammonium salts in which the amino nitrogen atom carries an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or aralkyl group.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the antipsychotic, antiparkinsonian, or neuroleptic agents used in combination with the NK-1 receptor antagonist according to the present invention include those salts described above in relation to the salts of the NK-1 receptor antagonist. Where the antipsychotic agent carries an acidic group, for example a carboxylic acid group, the present invention also contemplates the use of salts thereof, preferably non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, such as the sodium, potassium and calcium salts thereof.
Preferably the compositions containing the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use according to the present invention are in unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, capsules, wafers and the like. Additionally, the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use according to the present invention may be presented as granules or powders for extemporaneous formulation as volume defined solutions or suspensions. Alternatively, the NK-1 receptor antagonist of use according to the present invention may be presented in ready-prepared volume defined solutions or suspensions.
Preferred forms are tablets and capsules.
For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g. conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g. water, to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention, or a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation composition is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention. The tablets or pills of the novel composition can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permits the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol and cellulose acetate.
The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally include aqueous solutions, suitably flavoured syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavoured emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil or soybean oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Suitable dispersing or suspending agents for aqueous suspensions include synthetic and natural gums such as tragacanth, acacia, alginate, dextran, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, metbylcellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone or gelatin.
Compositions of the present invention may also be administered via the buccal cavity using conventional technology, for example, absorption wafers.
Compositions in the form of tablets, pills, capsules or wafers for oral administration are particularly preferred.
The present invention further provides a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an antipsychotic, antiparkinsonian, or neuroleptic agent, which process comprises bringing the compound 2-(R,)-(1-(S)-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethoxy)-3-(S)-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methylmorpholine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an antipsychotic, antiparkinsonian, or neuroleptic agent, into association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

The activity of the NK-1 receptor antagonists of use in the present invention may be measured using the following assays:
ASSAY 1: NK-1 Receptor binding NK-1 receptor binding assays are performed in intact Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human NK-1 receptor using a modification of the assay conditions described by Cascieri et al, J.
Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 1992, 42, 458. Typically, the receptor is expressed at a level of 3x105 receptors per cell. Cells are grown in monolayer culture, detached from the plate with enzyme-free dissociation solution (Speciality Media Inc.), and washed prior to use in the assay. Iz5I_Tyr$-substance P
(0. lnM, 2000Ci/mmol; New England Nuclear) is incubated in the presence or absence of test compounds (dissolved in 5Nl dimethylsulphoxide, DMSO) with 5x104 CHO cells. Ligand binding is performed in 0.25m1 of 50mM
Tris-HCI, pH7.5, containing 5mM MnCla, 150mM NaCI, 0.02% bovine serum albumin (Sigma), 50~g/ml chymostatin (Peninsula), 0.lnM
phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride, 2~.g/ml pepstatin, 2~.g/ml leupeptin and 2.8pg/ml furoyl saccharine. The incubation proceeds at room temperature until equilibrium is achieved (>40 minutes) and the receptor-ligand complex is harvested by filtration over GF/C filters pre-soaked in 0.1%
polyethylenimine using a Tomtek 9G-well harvester. Non-specific binding is determined using excess substance P (1~ and represents <10% of total binding.
ASSAY 2: Gerbil Foot-Tapping CNS-penetrant NK-1 receptor antagonists for use in the present invention can be identifiied by their ability to inhibit foot tapping in gerbils induced by anxiogenic agents {such as pentagastrin) or central infusion of NK-1 receptor agonists such as GR73632, or caused by aversive stimulation such as foot shock or single housing, based on the method of Rupniak & Williams, Eur. J. Phczrmacol., 1994, 265, 179.
Male or female Mongolian gerbils (35-70g) are anaesthetised by inhalation of an isoffuraneloxygen mixture to permit exposure of the jugular vein in order to permit administration of test compounds or vehicle in an injection volume of 5m1/kg i.v. Alternatively, test compounds may be administered orally or by subcutaneous or intraperitoneal routes. A skin incision is then made in the midline of the scalp to expose the skull. An anxiogenic agent {e.g. pentagastrin) or a selective NK-1 receptor agonist (e.g. GR73632 (d Ala[L-Pro9,Me-Leu»~-substance P-(7-11)) is infused directly into the cerebral ventricles (e.g. 3pmo1 in 5~1 i.c.v., depending on test substance) by vertical insertion of a cuffed 27 gauge needle to a depth of 4.5mm below bregma. The scalp incision is closed and the animal allowed to recover from anaesthesia in a clear perspex observation box (25cm x 20cm x 20cm). The duration and/or intensity of hind foot tapping is then recorded continuously for approximately 5 minutes. Alternatively, the ability of test compounds to inhibit foot tapping evoked by aversive stimulation, such as foot shock or single housing, may be studied using a similar method of quantification.
ASSAY 3: Ferret Emesis Individually housed male ferrets (1.0 -2.5 kg) are dosed orally by gavage with test compound. Ten minutes later they are fed with approximately 100g of tinned cat food. At 60 minutes following oral dosing, cisplatin (l0mg/kg) is given i.v. uia a jugular vein catheter inserted under a brief period of halothane anaesthesia. The catheter is then removed, the jugular vein ligated and the skin incision closed. The ferrets recover rapidly from the anaesthetic and are mobile within 10-20 minutes. The animals are observed continuously during recovery from the anaesthetic and for 4 hours following the cisplatin injection, after which time the animals are killed humanely. The numbers of retches and vomits occurring during the 4 hours after cisplatin administration are recorded by trained observers.
ASSAY 4: Separation-Induced Vocalisation Male and female guinea-pigs pups are housed in family groups with their mothers and littermates throughout the study. Experiments are commenced after weaning when the pups are 2 weeks old. Before entering an experiment, the pups are screened to ensure that a vigorous vocalisation response is reproducibly elicited following maternal separation. The pups are placed individually in an observation cage (55cm x 39cm x l9cm) in a room physically isolated from the home cage for 15 minutes and the duration of vocalisation during this baseline period is recorded. Only animals which vocalise for longer than 5 minutes are employed for drug challenge studies (approximately 50% of available pups may fail to reach this criterion). On test days each pup receives an oral dose or an s.c. or i.p. injection of test compound or vehicle and is then immediately returned to the home cage with its mother and siblings for 30 to GO minutes (or for up to 4 hours following an oral dose, dependent upon the oral pharmacokinetics of the test compound) before social isolation for 15 minutes as described above. The duration of vocalisation on drug treatment days is expressed as a percentage of the pre-treatment baseline value for each animal. The same subjects are retested once weekly for up to G weeks. Between 6 and 8 animals receive each test compound at each dose tested.
As used herein, the term "CNS-penetrant" refers to NK-1 receptor antagonists which are able to inhibit NK-1 receptor antagonist-induced foot-tapping in the gerbil as hereinafter defined.
Essentially, hind foot-tapping in the gerbil induced by infusion of the NK-1 receptor agonist, GR73632 (d Ala[L-Pro~,Me-Leulfl]-substance P-(7-11)), under anaesthesia, directly into the central ventricles is inhibited when a CNS-penetrant NK-1 receptor antagonist is administered intravenously immediately prior to GR73632 challenge, wherein hind foot-tapping over a period of five minutes following recovery from the anaesthesia is inhibited with an ID~o<_3mg/kg, and preferably with an IDso<_ lmg/kg.
In an alternative method, the NK-1 receptor antagonist is administered orally, 1 hour prior to GR73632 challenge, wherein the foot-tapping over a period of five minutes following recovery from anaesthesia is inhibited with an IDso<_30mg/kg, and preferably with an IDsoslOmg/kg.
CNS-penetrant NK-1 receptor antagonists of use in the present invention are also effective in the attenuation of separation-induced vocalisations by guinea-pig pups as hereinafter defined.
Essentially, a vocalisation response in guinea-pig pups is induced by isolation from their mothers and littermates, which response is attenuated when a CNS-penetrant NK-1 receptor antagonist is administered subcutaneously 30 minutes prior to isolation, wherein vocalisations during the first 15 minutes of isolation are attenuated with an IDso<_20mg/kg, preferably with an IDso<_lOmg/kg, and especially with an IDso<_5mg/kg.
In an alternative method, the NK-1 receptor antagonist is administered orally, 4 hours prior to isolation, wherein vocalisations during the first 15 minutes of isolation are attenuated with an IDSO<_20mg/kg, preferably with an ID~o<_lOmg/kg, and especially with an IDso__<5mg/kg.

(iii) Determine central duration of action of compounds in gerbil foot tapping assay following intravenous administration 24 hours prior to central NK1 agonist challenge; select compounds showing _< 25-fold loss of potency compared with IDso determined in step (ii) above with the proviso that IDso s l0mg/kg i.v., and preferably s 5mg/kg i.v. after 24 hour pre-treatment.
(iv) Determine oral bioavailability of compounds by pharmacoki.netic analysis, activity in gerbil foot tapping assay following oral administration and/or by ability to inhibit cisplatin-induced emesis in ferrets (Assay 3);
select compounds with IDso s 3mg/kg p.o., and preferably ID~o <_ lmg/kg p.o.
Particularly preferred compounds of use in the present invention are identified using steps (i) to (iv) followed by step (v).
(v) Determine activity of compounds in assays sensitive to conventional antipsychotic drugs (inhibition of distress vocalisations in guinea-pig pups (Assay 4)). Select compounds with IDso <_ 20mg/kg, and preferably IDso <_ lOmg/kg.
Yet further preferred compounds of use in the present invention may be selected from those compounds which satisfy the NK-1 receptor binding criteria of step (i) which, in addition, have <_ 5-fold shift in affinity when incubated in the presence of human serum albumin (HSA) to show non-specific protein binding.

WO 95/18124 and US Patent No. 5,612,337. In the aforementioned assays, this compound has the following activity:
human NK-1 receptor binding: ICso= 0.12 nM
gerbil foot-tapping (5 mins.): ID~a = 0.38 mg/kg i.v.
gerbil foot-tapping (24 hrs.): IDSO = 2.2 mg/kg i.v.
ferret emesis: IDso = 1 mg/kg p.o.
