Definitions

  • the present invention relates to certain thioether derivatives, their stereoisomers, their salts, their preparation and medicine containing them.
  • Various central nervous system disorders such as anxiety, depression, motor disorders etc., are believed to involve a disturbance of the neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) or serotonin.
  • Serotonin is localized in the central and peripheral nervous systems and is known to affect many types of conditions including psychiatric disorders, motor activity, feeding behavior, sexual activity, and neuroendocrine regulation among others.
  • 5 -HT receptor subtypes regulate the various effects of serotonin.
  • Known 5 -HT receptor family includes the 5-HT ] family (e.g. 5-HTIA), the 5-HT 2 family (e.g.5- HT 2 A) 5 5-HT 3 , 5-HT4, 5-HT 5 , 5-HT 6 and 5- HT7 subtypes.
  • the 5-HTg receptor subtype was first cloned from rat tissue in 1993 (Monsma, F. J.; Shen, Y.; Ward, R. P.; Hamblin, M. W., Molecular Pharmacology, 1993, 43, 320-327) and subsequently from human tissue (Kohen, R.; Metcalf, M. A.; Khan, N.; Druck, T.; Huebner, K.; Sibley, D. R., Journal of Neurochemistry, 1996, 66, 47-56).
  • the receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) positively coupled to adenylate cyclase (Ruat, M.; Traiffort, E.; Arrang, J-M.; Tardivel-Lacombe, L.; Diaz, L.; Leurs, R.; Schwartz, J-C, Biochemical Biophysical Research Communications, 1993, 193, 268-276).
  • GPCR G-protein coupled receptor
  • the receptor is found almost exclusively in the central nervous system (CNS) areas both in rat and in human.
  • 5-HTg receptor mRNA lower levels of 5-HTg receptor mRNA were seen in the granular layer of the cerebellum. several diencephalic nuclei, amygdala and in the cortex. Northern blots have revealed that 5- HTg receptor mRNA appears to be exclusively present in the brain, with little evidence for its presence in peripheral tissues.
  • 5-HTg ligands there are many potential therapeutic uses for 5-HTg ligands in humans based on direct effects and on indications from available scientific studies. These studies include the localization of the receptor, the affinity of ligands with known in-vivo activity, and various animal studies conducted so far. Preferably, antagonist compounds of 5-hg receptors are sought after as therapeutic agents.
  • One potential therapeutic use of modulators of 5-HTg receptor function is in the enhancement of cognition and memory in human diseases such as Alzheimer's.
  • 5-HTg ligands A related potential therapeutic use for 5-HTg ligands is the treatment of attention deficit disorders (ADD, also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD) in both children and adults.
  • ADD attention deficit disorders
  • 5-HTg antagonists appear to enhance the activity of the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway and because ADHD has been linked to abnormalities in the caudate (Ernst, M; Zametkin, A. J.; Matochik, J. H.; Jons, P. A.; Cohen, R. M., Journal of Neuroscience, 1998, 18(15), 5901-5907), 5-HTg antagonists may attenuate attention deficit disorders.

Field of Invention;
The present invention relates to certain thioether derivatives, their stereoisomers, their salts, their preparation and medicine containing them. Background of the Invention „-•
Various central nervous system disorders such as anxiety, depression, motor disorders etc., are believed to involve a disturbance of the neurotransmitter 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) or serotonin. Serotonin is localized in the central and peripheral nervous systems and is known to affect many types of conditions including psychiatric disorders, motor activity, feeding behavior, sexual activity, and neuroendocrine regulation among others. 5 -HT receptor subtypes regulate the various effects of serotonin. Known 5 -HT receptor family includes the 5-HT] family (e.g. 5-HTIA), the 5-HT2 family (e.g.5- HT2A)5 5-HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT5, 5-HT6 and 5- HT7 subtypes.
The 5-HTg receptor subtype was first cloned from rat tissue in 1993 (Monsma, F. J.; Shen, Y.; Ward, R. P.; Hamblin, M. W., Molecular Pharmacology, 1993, 43, 320-327) and subsequently from human tissue (Kohen, R.; Metcalf, M. A.; Khan, N.; Druck, T.; Huebner, K.; Sibley, D. R., Journal of Neurochemistry, 1996, 66, 47-56). The receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) positively coupled to adenylate cyclase (Ruat, M.; Traiffort, E.; Arrang, J-M.; Tardivel-Lacombe, L.; Diaz, L.; Leurs, R.; Schwartz, J-C, Biochemical Biophysical Research Communications, 1993, 193, 268-276). The receptor is found almost exclusively in the central nervous system (CNS) areas both in rat and in human.
In situ hybridization studies of the 5-HTg receptor in rat brain using mRNA indicate principal localization in the areas of 5-HT projection including striatum, nucleus accumbens, olfactory tubercle and hippocampal formation (Ward, R. P.; Hamblin, M. W.; Lachowicz, J. E.; Hoffman, B. J.; Sibley, D. R.; Dorsa, D. M., Neuroscience,v 1995, 64, 1105-1111). Highest levels of 5-HTg receptor mRNA has been observed in the olfactory tubercle, the striatum, nucleus accumbens, dentate gyrus as well as CA], CA2 and CA3 regions of the hippocampus. Lower levels of 5-HTg receptor mRNA were seen in the granular layer of the cerebellum. several diencephalic nuclei, amygdala and in the cortex. Northern blots have revealed that 5- HTg receptor mRNA appears to be exclusively present in the brain, with little evidence for its presence in peripheral tissues.
The high affinity of a number of antipsychotic agents for the 5-HTg receptor, in addition to its mRNA localization in striatum, olfactory tubercle and nucleus accumbens suggests that some of the clinical actions of these compounds may be mediated through this receptor. Its ability to bind a wide range of therapeutic compounds used in psychiatry, coupled with its intriguing distribution in the brain has stimulated significant interest in new compounds which are capable of interacting with or affecting the said receptor. At present, there are no known fully selective agonists. Significant efforts are being made to understand the possible role of the 5-HTg receptor in psychiatry, cognitive dysfunction, motor function and control, memory, mood and the like. To that end, compounds which demonstrate a binding affinity for the 5-HTg receptor are earnestly sought both as an aid in the study of the 5-HTg receptor and as potential therapeutic agents in the treatment of central nervous system disorders, for example see C. Reavill and D. C. Rogers, Current Opinion in Investigational Drugs, 2001, 2(l):104-109, Pharma Press Ltd.
There are many potential therapeutic uses for 5-HTg ligands in humans based on direct effects and on indications from available scientific studies. These studies include the localization of the receptor, the affinity of ligands with known in-vivo activity, and various animal studies conducted so far. Preferably, antagonist compounds of 5-hg receptors are sought after as therapeutic agents. One potential therapeutic use of modulators of 5-HTg receptor function is in the enhancement of cognition and memory in human diseases such as Alzheimer's. The high levels of receptor found in important structures in the forebrain, including the caudate/putamen, hippocampus, nucleus accumbens, and cortex suggest a role for the receptor in memory and cognition since these areas are known to play a vital role in memory (Gerard, C; Martres, M. P.; Lefevre, K.; Miquel, M. C; Verge, D.; Lanfumey, R.; Doucet, E.; Hamon, M.; EI Mestikawy, S., Brain Research, 1997, 746, 207-219). The ability of known 5-HTg receptor ligands to enhance cholinergic transmission also supported the potential cognition use (Bentey, J. C; Boursson, A. ; Boess, F. G.; Kone, F. C; Marsden, C. A.; Petit, N.; Sleight, A. J., British Journal of Pharmacology, 1999, 126 (7), 1537-1542). Studies have found that a known 5-HTg selective antagonist significantly increased glutamate and aspartate levels in the frontal cortex without elevating levels of noradrenaline, dopamine, or 5 -HT. This selective elevation of neurochemicals known to be involved in memory and cognition strongly suggests a role for 5-HTg ligands in cognition (Dawson, L. A.;
Nguyen, H. Q.; Li, P. British Journal of Pharmacology, 2000, 130 (I)3 23-26). Animal studies of memory and learning with a known selective 5-HTg antagonist found some positive effects
(Rogers, D. C; Hatcher, P. D.; Hagan, J. J. Society of Neuroscience, Abstracts, 2000, 26, 680). A related potential therapeutic use for 5-HTg ligands is the treatment of attention deficit disorders (ADD, also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD) in both children and adults. Because 5-HTg antagonists appear to enhance the activity of the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway and because ADHD has been linked to abnormalities in the caudate (Ernst, M; Zametkin, A. J.; Matochik, J. H.; Jons, P. A.; Cohen, R. M., Journal of Neuroscience, 1998, 18(15), 5901-5907), 5-HTg antagonists may attenuate attention deficit disorders. International Patent Publication WO 03/066056 Al reports that antagonism of 5-HTg receptor could promote neuronal growth within the central nervous system of a mammal. Another International Patent Publication WO 03/065046 A2 discloses new variant of human 5- HTg receptor, and proposes that human 5-HTg receptor is being associated with numerous other disorders. Early studies examining the affinity of various CNS ligands with known therapeutic utility or a strong structural resemblance to known drugs suggests a role for 5-HTg ligands in the treatment of schizophrenia and depression. For example, clozapine (an effective clinical antipsychotic) has high affinity for the 5-HTg receptor subtype. Also, several clinical antidepressants have high affinity for the receptor as well and act as antagonists at this site (Branchek, T. A.; Blackburn, T. P., Annual Reviews in Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2000, 40, 319-334).
Further, recent in vivo studies in rats indicate that 5-HTg modulators may be useful in the treatment of movement disorders including epilepsy (Stean, T.; Routledge, C; Upton, N., British Journal of Pharmacology, 1999, 127 Proc. Supplement-131P; and Routledge, C; Bromidge, S. M.; Moss, S. F.; Price, G. W.; Hirst, W.; Newman, H.; Riley, G.; Gager, T.; Stean, T.; Upton, N.; Clarke, S. E.; Brown, A. M., British Journal of Pharmacology, 2000, 30 (7), 1606-1612).
Taken together, the above studies strongly suggest that compounds which are 5-HTg receptor modulators, i.e. ligands, may be useful for therapeutic indications including: the treatment of diseases associated with a deficit in memory, cognition, and learning such as
Alzheimer's and attention deficit disorder; the treatment of personality disorders such as schizophrenia; the treatment of behavioral disorders, e. g. anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorders; the treatment of motion or motor disorders such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy; the treatment of diseases associated with neurodegeneration such as stroke or head trauma; or withdrawal from drug addiction including addiction to nicotine, alcohol, and other substances of abuse.
Such compounds are also expected to be of use in the treatment of certain gastrointestinal (GI) disorders such as functional bowel disorder. See for example, B. L. Roth et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 1994, 268, pages 1403-14120, D. R. Sibley et al., Molecular Pharmacology, 1993, 43, 320-327, A. J. Sleight et al., Neurotransmission, 1995, 11, 1-5, and A. J. Sleight et al., Serotonin ID Research Alert, 1997, 2(3), 115-118.
Furthermore, the effect of 5-HTg antagonist and 5-HTg antisense oligonucleotides to reduce food intake in rats has been reported thus potentially in treatment of obesity. See for example, Bentley et al., British Journal of Pharmacology, 1999, Suppl., 126, A64: 255; Wooley et al., Neuropharmacology, 2001, 41: 210-129; and WO 02/098878.
International Patent Publications WO 2004/055026 Al, WO 2004/048331 Al, WO 2004/048330 Al and WO 2004/048328 A2 (all assigned to Suven Life Sciences Limited) describes related prior art. These PCT applications and the references reported therein are all incorporated herein. Further WO 98/27081, WO 99/02502, WO 99/37623, WO 99/42465 and WOO 1/32646 (all assigned to Glaxo SmithKline Beecham PLC) disclose a series of aryl sulphonamide and sulphoxide compounds as 5-HTg receptor antagonists and which are claimed to be useful in the treatment of various CNS disorders. While some 5-HTg modulators have been disclosed, there continues to be a need for compounds that are useful for modulating 5- HT6.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide compounds, which are useful as therapeutic agents in the treatment of a variety of central nervous system disorders related to or affected by the 5-HTg receptor.

Certain compounds of formula (I) are capable of existing in stereoisomeric forms (e. g. diastereomers and enantiomers) and the invention extends to each of these stereoisomeric forms and to mixtures thereof including racemates. The different stereoisomeric forms may be separated one from the other by the usual methods, or any given isomer may be obtained by stereospecifϊc or asymmetric synthesis. The invention also extends to any tautomeric forms and mixtures thereof.
The term "stereoisomers" is a general term for all isomers of the individual molecules that differ only in the orientation of their atoms in space. It includes mirror image isomers (enantiomers), geometric (cis-trans) isomers and isomers of compounds with more than one chiral centre that are not mirror images of one another (diastereomers).
The stereoisomers as a rule are generally obtained as racemates that can be separated into the optically active isomers in a manner known per se. In the case of the compounds of general formula (I) having an asymmetric carbon atom the present invention relates to the D- form, the L-form and D5L- mixtures and in the case of a number of asymmetric carbon atoms, the diastereomeric forms and the invention extends to each of these stereoisomeric forms and to mixtures thereof including racemates. Those compounds of general formula (I) which have an asymmetric carbon and as a rule are obtained as racemates can be separated one from the other by the usual methods, or any given isomer may be obtained by stereospecifϊc or asymmetric synthesis. However, it is also possible to employ an optically active compound from the start, a correspondingly optically active or diastereomeric compound then being obtained as the final compound.
The stereoisomers of compounds of general formula (I) may be prepared by one or more ways presented below:
i) One or more of the reagents may be used in their optically active form. ϋ) Optically pure catalyst or chiral ligands along with metal catalyst may be employed in the reduction process. The metal catalysts may be employed in the reduction process.
The metal catalyst may be Rhodium, Ruthenium, Indium and the like. The chiral ligands may preferably be chiral phosphines (Principles of Asymmetric synthesis, J. E. Baldwin Ed., Tetrahedron series, 14, 311-316). iii) The mixture of stereoisomers may be resolved by conventional methods such as forming a diastereomeric salts with chiral acids or chiral amines, or chiral amino alcohols, chiral amino acids. The resulting mixture of diastereomers may then be separated by methods such as fractional crystallization, chromatography and the like, which is followed by an additional step of isolating the optically active product by hydrolyzing the derivative (Jacques et. al., "Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolution",
Wiley Interscience, 1981). iv) The mixture of stereoisomers may be resolved by conventional methods such as microbial resolution, resolving the diastereomeric salts formed with chiral acids or chiral bases.
Chiral acids that can be employed may be tartaric acid, mandelic acid, lactic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, amino acids and the like. Chiral bases that can be employed may be cinchona alkaloids, brucine or a basic amino group such as lysine, arginine and the like. In the case of the compounds of general formula (I) containing geometric isomerism the present invention relates to all of these geometric isomers.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts will be apparent to those skilled in the art and include those described in J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, 1-19, such as acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids e. g. hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric or phosphoric acid; and organic acids e. g. succinic, maleic, acetic, fumaric, citric, tartaric, benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic or naphthalenesulfonic acid. The present invention includes within its scope all possible stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric forms.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts forming a part of this invention may be prepared by treating the compound of formula (I) with 1-6 equivalents of a base such as sodium hydride, sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium t-butoxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium acetate, calcium chloride, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium chloride and the like. Solvents such as water, acetone, ether, THF, methanol, ethanol, t-butanol, dioxane, isopropanol, isopropyl ether or mixtures thereof may be used.
In the addition to pharmaceutically acceptable salts, other salts are included in the invention. They may serve as intermediates in the purification of the compounds, in the preparation of other salts, or in the identification and characterization of the compounds or intermediates. The compounds of formula (I) may be prepared in crystalline or non-crystalline form, and, if crystalline, may optionally be solvated, eg. as the hydrate. This invention includes within its scope stoichiometric solvates (eg. hydrates) as well as compounds containing variable amounts of solvent (eg. water).

In process (ii), examples of protecting groups and the means for their removal can be found in T. W. Greene 'Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis' (J. Wiley and Sons, 1991). Suitable amine protecting groups include sulphonyl (e. g. tosyl), acyl (e. g. acetyl, X, 2\ X- trichloroethoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl or t-butoxycarbonyl) and arylalkyl (e. g. benzyl), which may be removed by hydrolysis (e. g. using an acid such as hydrochloric or trifluoroacetic acid) or reductively (e. g. hydrogenolysis of a benzyl group or reductive removal of a 2\ 2\ X- trichloroethoxycarbonyl group using zinc in acetic acid) as appropriate. Other suitable amine protecting groups include trifluoroacetyl(-COCF3) which may be removed by base catalysed hydrolysis or a solid phase resin bound benzyl group, such as a Merrifield resin bound 2,6- dimethoxybenzyl group(EHman linker), which may be removed by acid catalysed hydrolysis, for example withtrifluoroacetic acid. Process (iii) may be performed using conventional interconversion procedures such as epimerisation, oxidation, reduction, alkylation, nucleophilic or electrophilic aromatic substitution, ester hydrolysis or amide bond formation.

Male Wistar rats (120-140 g) obtained from N. I. N. (National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, India) were used. fsThe chronic effect of the compounds of general formula (I) on food intake in well-fed rats was then determined as follows. The rats were housed in their single home cages for 28 days. During this period, the rats were either dosed orally or Lp., with a composition comprising a compound of formula (1) or a corresponding composition (vehicle) without the said compound (control group), once-a- day. The rat is provided with ad libitum food and water.
On 0, 1st, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day the rat is left with the pre-weighed amounts of food. Food intake and weight gain is measured on the routine basis. Also a food ingestion method is disclosed in the literature (Kask et al., European Journal of Pharmacology, 414, 2001, 215-224, and Turnball et. Al., Diabetes, vol 51, August, 2002, and some in-house modificatins.). The respective parts of the descriptions are herein incorporated as a reference, and they form part of the disclosure. Some representative compounds have shown the statistically significant decrease in food intake, when conducted in the above manner at the doses of either 10 mg/Kg, or 30 mg/Kg or both.

Ex. 100: Object Recognition Task Model.
The cognition-enhancing properties of compounds of this invention were estimated using a model of animal cognition: the object recognition task model. Male wistar rats (230 - 280 g) obtained from N. I. N. (National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, India) were used as an experimental animal. Four animals were housed in each cage. Animals were kept on 20 % food deprivation before one day and given water ad libitum throughout the experiment, and maintained on a 12 h light/dark cycle. Also the rats were habituated to individual arenas for 1 hour in absence of any objects.
One group of 12 rats received vehicle (1 mL/Kg) orally and another set of animals received compound of the formula (I) either orally or i.p., before one hour of the familiar (Tl) and choice trial (T2).
The experiment was carried out in a 50 x 50 x 50 cm open field made up of acrylic. In the familiarization phase, (Tl), the rats were placed individually in the open field for 3 min., in which two identical objects (plastic bottles, 12.5 cm height x 5.5 cm diameter) covered in yellow masking tape alone (al and a2) were positioned in two adjacent comers, 10 cm. from the walls. After 24 hour of the (Tl) trial for long-term memory test, the same rats were placed in the same arena as they were placed in Tl trial. Choice phase (T2) rats were allowed to explore the open field for 3 min. in presence of one familiar object (a3) and one novel object (b) (Amber color glass bottle, 12 cm high and 5 cm in diameter. Familiar objects presented similar textures, colors and sizes. During the Tl and T2 trial, exploration of each object (defined as sniffing, licking, chewing or having moving vibrissae whilst directing the nose towards the object at a distance of less than 1 cm) were recorded separately by stopwatch. Sitting on an object was not regarded as exploratory activity, however, it was rarely observed. Tl is the total time spent exploring the familiar objects (al + a2).
T2 is the total time spent exploring the familiar object and novel object (a3 +b). The object recognition test was performed as described by Ennaceur, A., Delacour, J., 1988, A new one-trial test for neurobiological studies of memory in rats- Behavioral data, Behav. Brain Res., 31, 47-59. Some representative compounds have shown positive effects indicating the increased novel object recognition viz; increased exploration time with novel object and higher discrimination index. Ex. 101: Chewing/Yawning/Stretching induction by 5HTeR antagonists.
Male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g were used. Rats were given vehicle injections and placed in individual, transparent chambers for 1 h each day for 2 days before the test day, to habituate them to the observation chambers and testing procedure. On the test day, rats were placed in the observation chambers immediately after drug administration and observed continuously for yawning, stretching, and chewing behaviors from 60 to 90 min after drug or vehicle injections. 60 minutes prior to the drug administration Physostigmine, 0.1 mg/kg i.p. was administered to all the animals. Average number of yawns, stretches, and vacuous chewing movements during the 30 min observation period were recorded.
Some compounds demonstrated 40 - 60 % increase in the stretching, yawning and chewing behaviors in comparison with the vehicle treated groups, at 1 mg/Kg, 3 mg/Kg, 10 mg/Kg and 30 mg/Kg. REFERENCES:

The water maze apparatus consisted of a circular pool (1.8 m diameter, 0.6 m high) constructed in black Perspex (TSE systems, Germany) filled with water (24 ± 20C) and positioned underneath a wide-angled video camera to track animal. The 10 cm2 perspex platform, lying 1 cm below the water surface, was placed in the centre of one of the four imaginary quadrants, which remained constant for all rats. The black Perspex used in the construction of the maze and platform offered no intramaze cues to guide escape behavior. By contrast, the training room offered several strong extramaze visual cues to aid the formation of the spatial map necessary for escape learning. An automated tracking system, [Videomot 2 (5.51), TSE systems, Germany] was employed. This program analyzes video images acquired via a digital camera and an image acquisition board that determined path length, swim speed and the number of entries and duration of swim time spent in each quadrant of the water maze.

Ex. 103: Passive avoidance Apparatus
Animals were trained in a single-trial, step through, light-dark passive avoidance paradigm. The training apparatus consisted of a chamber 300 mm in length, 260 mm wide, and
270 mm in height, constructed to established designs. The front and top were transparent, allowing the experimenter to observe the behavior of the animal inside the apparatus. The chamber was divided into two compartments, separated by a central shutter that contained a small opening 50 mm wide and 75 mm high set close to the front of the chamber. The smaller of the compartments measured 9 mm in width and contained a low-power (6V) illumination source. The larger compartment measured 210 mm in width and was not illuminated. The floor of this dark compartment consisted of a grid of 16 horizontal stainless-steel bars that were 5mm in diameter and spaced 12.5 mm apart. A current generator supplied 0.75 niA to the grid floor, which was scrambled once every 0.5 s across the 16 bars. A resistance range of 40-60 microohms was calculated for a control group of rats and the apparatus was calibrated accordingly. An electronic circuit detecting the resistance of the animal ensured an accurate current delivery by automatic variation of the voltage with change in resistance.
Experimental procedure: This was carried out as described previously (Fox et al., 1995). Adult male Wistar rats weighing 200-230 g were used. Animals were brought to the laboratory 1 h before the experiment. On the day of training, animals were placed facing the rear of the light compartment of the apparatus. The timer was started once the animal has completely turned to face the front of the chamber. Latency to enter the dark chamber was recorded (usually < 20 s), and having completely entered the dark compartment an inescapable foot shock of 0.75 mA for 3 s was administered to the animal. Animals were then returned to their home cages. Between each training session, both compartments of the chamber were cleaned to remove any confounding olfactory cues. Recall of this irihibitory stimulus was evaluated 24 h, 72 h and on 7 day post-training by returning the animal into the light chamber and recording their latency to enter the dark chamber, a criterion time of 300 s was employed. Some of the compounds showed the significant increase in latency to reach the dark zone, at 10 mg/Kg oral dose.
