Definitions

  • the present invention relates to aminoalkyl substituted 9H-pyridino [2, 3-b] indole and 9H-pyrimidino [4 , 5-b] indole derivatives which selectively bind to corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF]_) receptors and to mammalian neuropeptide Y (NPY ] _) receptors. It further relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and the use of such compounds in treating physiological disorders induced or facilitated by CRF or those associated with an excess of neuropeptide Y.
  • CRF corticotropin-releasing factor
  • Corticotropin releasing factor (herein referred to a ⁇ CRF) , a 41 amino acid peptide, is the primary physiological regulator of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) derived peptide secretion from the anterior pituitary gland [J. Rivier et al . , Proc . Na t . Acad . Sci . (USA) 80:4851 (1983); . Vale et al . , Science 213:1394 (1981)].
  • POMC proopiomelanocortin
  • CRF has a role in psychiatric disorders and neurological diseases including depression, anxiety-related disorders and feeding disorders.
  • CRF cerebral spinal fluid
  • CRF produces anxiogenic effects in animals and interactions between benzodiazepine /
  • CRF cardiovascular or heart-related diseases such as hypertension, tachycardia and congestive heart failure, stroke and osteoporosis.
  • CRF has also been implicated in premature birth, psychosocial dwarfism, stress-induced fever, ulcer, diarrhea, post-operative ileus and colonic hypersensitivity associated with psychopathological disturbance and stress.
  • Neuropeptide Y a peptide first isolated in 1982, is widely distributed in the central and peripheral neurons and is responsible for a multitude of biological effects in the brain and the periphery.
  • Various animal studies have shown that activation of neuropeptide NPYi receptors is related to vasoconstriction, Wahlestedt et al . , Regul . Peptides, 13_: 307- 318 (1986), McCauley and Westfall, J. Pharmacol . Exp . Ther. 261: 863-868 (1992), and Grundemar et al . , Br. J. Pharmacol .
  • This invention provides novel compounds of Formula I which interact with CRF ⁇ receptors and NPY ⁇ receptors. It further relates to the use of such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, and methods useful for the treatment of psychiatric and affective disorders and neurological diseases, including major depression, headaches, anxiety-related disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, supranuclear palsy, as well as treatment of immunological, cardiovascular or heart-related diseases, hypertension, feeding disorders, diabetes, dislipidemia, colonic hypersensitivity associated with psychopathological disturbance, and stress. It further relates to the use of such compounds in treating physiological disorders induced or facilitated by CRF or those associated with an excess of neuropeptide Y.

Samples are filtered over presoaked GF/C Whatman filters (1.0% polyethyleneimine for 2 hours) and rinsed 2 times with 5 mL cold binding buffer lacking BSA. Remaining bound radioactivity is measured by gamma counting. To estimate the Bmax, Kd and Ki , the results of binding experiments are analyzed using SigmaPlot software (Jandel) .
  • the binding affinities for the compounds of Formula I towards the NPY]_ receptor are expressed as IC50 values and are less than 10 micromolar.
