No. 354,411, filed May 19, 1989, (Attorney Docket Nos. 02489-0028-00000 and HR-1161), now abandoned. The entire disclosure of these applications is relied upon and incorporated by reference herein.
This invention relates to heteroarylpiperidines, pyrrolidines and piperazines. More particularly, this invention relates to heteroarylpiperidines, pyrrolidines and piperazines having antipsychotic activity and to their use as antipsychotic drugs.
The therapeutic treatment of schizophrenic patients by administration of neuroleptic drugs, such as chlorpromazine, haloperidol, sulpiride, and chemically closely related compounds, is widespread. While control of schizophrenic symptoms has been successful, treatment with these drugs does not cure the psychotic patient, who will almost certainly relapse if medication is discontinued. There exists a continuing need in the art for antipsychotic drugs for the treatment of psychoses.
Moreover, some of the known neuroleptics produce unwanted side effects. For example, the side effects of many antipsychotic drugs include the so-called extrapyramidal symptoms, such as rigidity and tremor, continuous restless walking, and tardive dyskinesia which causes facial grimacing, and involuntary movements of the face and extremities. Orthostatic hypotension is also common. Thus, there also exists a need in the art for antipsychotic drugs that produce fewer or less severe manifestations of these common side effects.
Moreover, there has been a need for drugs that can produce other biological effects. For example, relief from pain has been an age-old aspiration which has led to the discovery of natural and synthetic analgetics. Nevertheless, the need for safe and effective analgetics has continued to the present day.
This invention aids in fulfilling these needs in the by providing a compound of the formula:
##STR00001##
wherein
This invention also aids in fulfilling these needs the art by providing a compound of the formula:

##STR00065##
X is —O—, and Y is 6-F;
This invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition, which comprises a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor. In one embodiment of the invention, the pharmaceutical composition is an antipsychotic composition comprising a compound of the invention in an amount sufficient to produce an antipsychotic effect.
In addition, this invention provides a method of treating psychoses, which comprises administering to a patient a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of the invention.
Finally, this invention provides a method of alleviating pain by administering to a patient a pain-relieving amount of a compound of the invention.

The compounds of the present invention are useful for treating psychoses by virtue of their ability to elicit a antipsychotic response in mammals. Antipsychotic activity is determined in the climbing mice assay by a method similar to those described by P. Protais, et al., Psychopharmacol., 50:1 (1976) and B. Costall, Eur. J. Pharmacol., 50:39 (1978).
Subject CK-1 male mice (23-27 grams) are group-housed under standard laboratory conditions. The mice are individually placed in wire mesh stick cages (4″×10″) and are allowed one hour for adaption and exploration of the new environment. Then apomorphine is injected subcutaneously at 1.5 mg/kg a dose causing climbing in all subjects for 30 minutes. Compounds to be tested for antipsychotic activity are injected intraperitoneally or given oral doses at various time intervals, e.g. 30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc. prior to the apomorphine challenge at 8 screening doses of 10-60 mg/kg.
For evaluation of climbing, 3 readings are taken at 10. 20, and 30 minutes after apomorphine administration according to the following scale:
Climbing Behavior
Mice with:
Score
4 paws on bottom (no climbing)
0
2 paws on the wall (rearing)
1
4 paws on the wall (full climb)
2
Mice consistently climbing before the injection of apomorphine are discarded.
With full-developed apomorphine climbing, the animals are hanging on to the cage walls, rather motionless, over long periods of time. By contrast, climbs due to mere motor stimulation usually only last a few seconds.
The climbing scores are individually totaled (maximal score: 6 per mouse over 3readings) and the total score of the control group (vehicle intraperitoneally-apomorphine subcutaneously) is set to 100%. ED50 values with 95% confidence limits, calculated by a linear regression analysis, of some of the compounds of the, present invention as well as a standard antipsychotic agent are presented in Table 1.

To a solution of 2-bromobenzoic acid, hydrazide (132 g) in pyridine (1.2 l) cooled to about 10° with an ice bath, was added benzenesulfonyl chloride (7.3 ml). After complete addition, the reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for four hours, and then poured into ice-hydrochloric acid to precipitate a yellow solid, 135 g. The material was recrystallized from isopropanol to yield 125 g of 2-bromobenzoic acid 2-phenylsulfonylhydrazide, m.p.=154°-156° C.
A mixture of 2-bromobenzoic acid phenylsulfonylhydrazide (125 g, (1.35 mol) and thionyl chloride (265 ml) was stirred and refluxed for 2hours. After about 15 minutes of reflux, the solid went into solution. The reaction was permitted to cool, and then it was poured into hexane. The resultant white solid was collected to afford 124 g of α-chloro-2-bromobenzaldehyde phenylsulfonylhydrazone, m.p.=120°-122° C.
To a stirred solution, under nitrogen, of α-chloro-2-bromobenzaldehyde phenylsulfonylhydrazone (271.1 g; 0.72 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (THF; 2liters), was added dropwise N-methylpiperazine (159.7 g; 1.6 mol). The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for three hours, and then permitted to stand at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The reaction was chilled in an ice bath, and then filtered to remove the piperazine hydrochloride that was formed. The filtrate was concentrated to yield a brown gum. The gum was triturated with hot acetonitrile, the mixture was cooled in an ice bath, and when cold, was filtered to remove unwanted side product. The filtrate was then concentrated to afford 392.9 g of a brown gum of crude 1-[[(phenylsulfonyl)hydrazono]-(2-bromophenyrmethyl]-4-methylpiperazine.
A mixture of 1-[[(phenylsulfonyl)hydrazone]-(2-bromo phenyl)methyl]-4-methylpiperazine (31.0 g, 0.08 mol), copper bronze (3.1 g), K2CO3 (11.5 g), and dimethylformamide (500 ml), was stirred and refluxed for 1.5 hours. The reaction was poured into water and the aqueous suspension was stirred vigorously with ethyl acetate. The biphasic mixture was filtered through celite, and subsequently the layers were separated. The aqueous portion was extracted with another portion of ethyl acetate, and the combined extracts were washed (H2O) and dried (MgSO4). Concentration of the extract afforded a solid, which upon trituration with ether gave 19.7 g of solid. The solid was recrystallized from isopropanol afford 17.7 g (60%) of product, m.p. 158°-161° C.

To a stirred mixture of 4-[1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indazol-3-yl]1-piperazinecarbonitrile (163 g, 0.44 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (2.01) was added, dropwise, lithium aluminum hydride (880 ml, 0.88 mol of a 1M lithium aluminum hydride solution in tetrahydrofuran). After complete addition, the reaction was heated to reflux and stirred for 6hours, stirred at ambient temperature for one hour and allowed to sit at room temperature overnight. The reaction war quenched by the careful dropwise addition of water. After no more hydrogen could be observed to evolve, the reaction was filtered and the lithium salt filter cake was washed well with tetrahydrofuran. The filtrate was combined with the filtrate of another run (all together the starting material totaled 300 g, i.e. 0.82 mol) and the combined filtrates were concentrated to afford 372 g of a yellow solid suspended in water. An attempt was made to partition the product between water and dichloromethane, but the product proved to be only slightly soluble in dichloromethane.

The product is further purified by recrystallization to afford N-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-4-fluorophthalimide.
A mixture of 2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethylamine (2.44 gm, 9.24 mmoles), 4-methylphthalic anhydride (1.76 gm, 10.8 moles) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (2.1 gm, 1.0 moles) in dichloromethane (DCM, 100 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The insolubles were filtered off. The DCM solution was concentrated to a crude solid. This was purified on a flash chromatography column (35 gm, SiO2, Sorbsil-C-30; eluted with 1% CH3OH in 99% DCM). The material thus purified weighed 1.0 gm (26%) as a white solid. Recrystallization from hot ethanol gave 665 mg of crystals, m.p.=138°-140° C.

A stirred mixture of 2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethylamine (2.63 g, 0.01 mole) and 4-nitrophthalic anhydride (1.93 g, 0.01 mole) in dichloromethane (200 ml) is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The solvent is then removed under reduced pressure and the residual material is purified by flash chromatography. The product is purified further by recrystallization to give N-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-4-nitrophthalimide.
To a solution of ethyl 3-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]propionate (3.21 gm, 10 mmoles) in tetrahydrofuran (THF, 100 ml), methylmagnesium bromide (10 ml, 30 moles, 3M solution in ether) was added dropwise over 15 minutes at room temperature under N2. The resulting mixture was stirred for 16 hours. The mixture was slowly hydrolyzed with aqueous NH4Cl solution. The THF solution was diluted with EtOAc (300 ml), then was washed with water and brine. The organic solution was separated and dried over MgSO4. After removal of solvent, the crude product was purified by flash chromatography (25 gm, SiO2; eluted with 1% CH3OH:99% DCM). The material thus purified weighed 2.36 gm (77%) as white crystals. This was converted to the fumerate salt by treatment with fumaric acid (895 mg) in ethanol. Recrystallization from ethanol yielded with crystals, 2.47 gm, m.p.=156°-158° C.

Found: 59.40% C 6.27% H 6.28% N.
A mixture of 4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxaxol-3-yl)piperidine (5 gm, 22.7 mmoles), K2CO3 (3.8 gm, 27.5 mmoles) and ethyl bromopropionate (5 gm, 27.6 mmoles, 1.2 eq) in acetonitrile (200 ml) was heated at reflux for 16 hours. The mixture was cooled and filtered. The solvent was removed, and the residue was purified on a flash chromatography column (60 gm, SiO2, eluted with DCM). The material thus purified weighed 7.27 gum (83%). The fumarate salt was prepared by treatment of the free base (2.17 gm) with fumaric acid (820 mg, 1.0 eq) in ethanol. Recrystallization from ethanol yielded 2.49 gm of white crystals, m.p.=135°-136° C.
