SPECIFICATION
THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES
TEC~NOLOGICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a novel therapeutic
agent for neurological diseases in the peripheral nervous
system and the central nervous system of animals More
specifically, it relates to a novel therapeutic agent for
neurological diseases comprising a particular 2-pipera-
zinopyrimidine derivative or its pharmaceutically accept-
able salt.
~ACKGROUND TECENOLOGY
In the therapy of neurological diseases, namely
disorders in the central nervous system and the peripheral
nervous system, therapeutic agents for the central nervous
system have been vigorously studied and applied. In
contrast, very few therapeutic agents for diseases of the
peripheral nervous system, especially disorders of peri-
pheral nerves, have been put to practical use worldwide.
Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No.
34912/1977 discloses a pharmaceutical comprising a dis-
persion or solution of ganglioside in a medium, which is
effective for pathology at~ributed to neural stimulus
transmission disorders in the central nervous system and
the peripheral nervous syste~. Only ganglioside (a pro-
duct named Cronassial is sold in Italy), a natural carbo-
hydrate, disclosed in the above-cited laid-open publica-
tion~and mecobalamin, a kind of vitamin, have so far beenapplied clinically to diseases of the peripheral nervous
system, but no entirely satlsfactory effect has been
obtained.
Japanese Patent Publication No.~ 28548/lg84
discloses 2-isopropylaminopyrimidine ortho-phosphate
represented by the following formula

~3~ .Z
-- 2 --
~ NHCH ~ 3-H3Po4
and a therapeutic agent comprising this compound for
treatment of peripheral nerve diseases. As far as the
present inventors know, the above compound ~common name,
S isaxonine phosphate to be abbreviated hereinafter as
isaxonine) is the first synthetic compound which was used
in clinical research on peripheral nerve disorders (La
Nouvelle Presse Medicale, vol. 16, pages 1189-12B0, 1982).
It appears that this compound is not actually marketed
now. No synthetic compound has been known which is used
for treating peripheral nerve disorders.
Factors acting on the growth and regeneration of
nerves are kn~wn to exist in an animal. They are called a
nerve growth factor (NGF) or a neurotrophic factor~ These
factors are high-molecular proteins, and many problems
exis~ which have to be technically solved in applying them
to neurological diseases.
Japanese Laid-~pen Patent Publication No~
222424fl984 discloses that a gangliside mixture extracted
from the cow brain or a single component in ganglioside~
acts promotingly on the proliferatio~ of the primary
culture of nerve cells or neuroblasto~a cells, and the
formation and growth of the neurite, and that it has the
same effect as mecobalamin in an animal model of neuro-
logical disorder. ~urthermore, as stated above, ganglioside is actually used clinically for the treatment of
disorders in the peripheral nervous system and the central
nervous system (not psychopathy)
~anglioside, however, is a natural extract
originated from an ani~al of a different species, and the
antigenicity of itself or a foreign material contained in
it becoaes a problem. Another problea is that ~t is very
.
,

~L3~$~
difficult to specify and d~fine it as a uniform ~able
substance in drug preparation.
Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No~
144,765/1984 discloses a 2-(1-piperazinyl~pyrimidine
s havin~ the following formula (I)

wherein one of P and Q represents hydrogen or a
hydroxyl or lower alkyl group and the other
represents hydrogen, and X represent~ a c;roup of
the formula CO-Rl i~ which Rl is a lower alkyl
group, a group of the formula CO-CH-R2
NH-R3
in whïch R2 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl,
phenyl, p-hydroxyphenyl, benzyl, p-hydroxy-
benzyl, hydroxymethyl, l-hydroxyethyl or 3-
indolylmethyl group, R3 is hydrogen, a lower
alkylcarbonyl group, a benzoyl group, an acyl
group derived from an amino acid selected from
glycine, phenylglycine~ alanine, valine,
leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine~
serine, threonine and tryptophan, or an acyl
group derived ~rom a dipeptide comprised of two
of the above amino acids, or R2 and R3 together
may form an ethylene group, a group of the
formula Alk-COOY in which Alk represents a liner
or branched alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon
atoms and Y represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl
group, a gro~p of the formula ~lk-CH2OZ in which
Alk is as defined, and Z represents hydrogen or
a lower alkylt ~lower alkoxyl-lower alkyl, or
3~ lower alkylcarbonyl group, or a group of the

31 3~S~
formula Alk~CO-W in which Alk is as defined and
W represents a lower alkyl group or its pharma-
ceutically acceptable acid addition salts.
This patent document states that the compounds
of formula tI)- or acid addition salt5 thereof have
dopamine-type psychotherapeutic activity~
Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No.
144,766/1984 describes an acid addition salt of 2~
piperazinyl)pyrimidine with a dicarboxylic acid, and
states that this compound has good phrenotropic activity
having dopamine mechanism, particularly antipsychotic
activity, antimelanchoric activity and ataractic and
tranguilizing activity.
~apanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No~
155,316/1984 discloses a dr~g having dopamine-acting
phrenotropic activity comprising as an active ingredient
a 2-piperazinopyrimidine represented by the formula

However~ none of the above four cited patent
documents describe or suggest that 2-piperazinopyri~idines
are effective for reproducing neurocytes and can be
applied to peripheral nerve disorders, and central nerve
disorders which are not psychopathy.
It is an object of this invention therefore to
provide a novel therapeutic agent for neurological
diseases~
Another object o~ this invention provides a
novel therapeutic agent for neurological diseases ef-
fective for reproducing and repairing neurocytes.
Still another object of this invention is to
provide a novel therapeutic agent for neurological
diseases which can be applied to disorders of peripheral
nerves~
Yet another object of this invention is to
provide a novel therapeutic agent for neurological dis
orders which can be applied to central nerve disorders
that are regarded as being primarily due to the involve-
ment of derangement of the active and metabolic systems ofnerve transmitting substances.
Further sbjects of this invention along with its
advantages will become apparent from the following descrip-
tion.

administration of the pharmaceutical composition through
the skin as an ointment or a cataplasm. In this case, a
molded cataplasm or a tape is advantageous.
The composition of this invention contains 0~1
to 2000 mg, more generally O.S to 1000 mg, of the active
component for each unit dosage formO
The compound of formula ~I) is effective over a
wide dosage range. For example, the amount of the com-
pound administered for one day usually falls within the
range of 0.003 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg. The amount of the
compound to be actually administered is determined ~y a
physician depending, for example, upon the type of the
compound administered, and the age, body weight, reaction,
condition~ etc. of the patient and the administration
15 rOllte.
The above dosage range, therefore, does not
limit the scope of the invention. The suitable number of
administration~ is 1 to 6, usually 1 to 4, daily.
The compound of formula (I) by itself is an
effective therapeutic agent for disorders of the peri-
pheral nervous system and the central nervous system. If
required, it may be administered in combination with at
least one other equally effective drug. Examples of such
an additional drug are gangliosides~ mecobalamin and
isaxonine.
The formulation of the compounds of formula (I)
used in this invention and their biological activities
will now be illustrated in more detail by a series of

neuro-2a (Dainippon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) which have
been established as the cells of the nervous system. The
above neuve cells were grown in an incubator at 37C in
the presence of 5% caebon dioxide gas exponentially, and
then cultiva~ed for a ceetain period of ~ime together with
the compounds of formula ~I). The results demonstrated
that the compounds of formula (I~ have nerve cell growth
promoting activity and neurite formation and sprouting
promoting activity which are markedly higher with a signi-
ficance than a control, and are equal to, or higher than,
isaxonine as a control drug ~the compound described in
Japanese Patent Publication No. 28548~1984).
The biological activities of the compounds of
formaula ~I) in accordance with this invention on rat
PC-12 pheochromocytoma cell line were also tested. When
NGF is added to PC-12 cells, the neurites sprout. It was
shown that when the compound (I~ of this invention is
added at this time, the binding of NGF to the PC-12 cells
and the up-take of NGF into the cells increased.
When the ef~ect of the compounds (I) of this
invention on the binding of NGF to rabbit superior
cervical ganglion was examined, ~hey were found to promote
the NGF binding.
Rats whose sciatic nerves were crushed were
prepared as a model of peripheral nervous disorder, and
the effects of the compounds of this invention on it were
tested. I~ was made clear that the compounds tI) of the
present invention have an effect of promoting recovery of
the interdigi~ distance and the weight of the soleus
muscle to normal values.
Rats and mice models of central nervous dis-
orders were prepared, and the pharmacological effects
of the compounds (I) of this invention were tested.
Specifically, nigral dopamine cells o~ the rat brain were

~3~
- 7~ ~
chemically destroyed by injec~ing a very small amount of
6-hydroxydopamine to induce motor imbalance. Two weeks
later, dopamine cells of fetal brain were transplanted in
the caudate nucleus into the lesioned side of the rat
brain and an attempt was made to improve ~he motor
trouble. Specifically, beginning on the day of trans-
plantation, the compound (I) of the invention was intra-
peritoneally administered every day over 2 weeks, and the
activity of the compounds (I) of the invention on the
improvement of the motor imbalance and the growth of the
transplanted cells was examined. It was found that the
compounds SI) of the invention have a promoting effect on
the improvement of the motor trouble.
Rats and mice having a nerve trouble by mercury
poisoning were prepared and the activity of the compounds
~I) of the invention was tested. The compounds ~I) were
found to have a promoting ef~ect and a curative effect on
the improvement of the conditîon and recovery to a normal
condition.
Thus, it has been made clear that the compounds
(I) of this invention are useful as agents for improving
or curing various neurological diseases of mammals, such
as troubles in peripheral and central nerves.
Various types of neuropathy including, ~or
example, various peripheral nerve disorders accompanied by
motorgenic, seonsory or objective flex retardation, and
alcohol-induced or drug-induced, diabetic and metabolic,
or idiopathic peripheral nerve disorders, including
~ traumatic, inflammatory or immunological nerve root
;~ 30 lesions may be cited as such neurological diseases. More
specific examples include facial palsy, sciatic nerve
paralysis, spinal muscular atrophy, muscular dystrophy,
myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis, acute disseminated cerebromyelitis, Guillan-
Barre syndrome, postvaccinal encephalomyelitis, SMON

disease, dementia, Alzheimer syndrome, a condition after
cranial injury, cerebral ischemia, sequela of cerebral
infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, and rheumatism. These
ex~mples are not limitative.
By a toxicity test, the compounds of this
invention ~ere found to have only wealk toxicity, and be
useful as safe medicines.
Example lC
The effect of the compounds of this invention on
neuroblastoma cells was examined by the following method.
A culture medium [composed of 45% of RPMI 1640
medium, 45% modiied Bagle's medium (MEM~ and 10% of fetal
calf serum (FCS) and containing penicillin ~ sodium (100
units/ml) and streptomycin sulfate (100 microgram/ml)]
containing neurobalstoma cell line GOTO in the logarithmic
growth period was poured in an amount of 2 ml each into
polystyrene dishes S35 mm; made by Corning Co.) so that
the cell concentration was 2 to ~ x 104 cells per dish,
and the cells were cultured for 1 to 2 days in a carbon
2~ dioxide gas incubator containing S~ of carbon dioxide gas
in air at 37VC. Then, the culture fluid was remo~ed, and
: 2 ml of a fresh serum-free culture ~luid ~consisting of
50~ of ~PMI medium and 50~ of MEM medium and containing
penicillin G sodium and streptomycin sulfate in the same
amounts as above) was added~:At the same time, a pre-
sterilized PBS solution tphosphate buffered saline) of
each of the test compounds in various concentrations was
; added to each of the dishes. After culturing for 24
hours, the number of living cells was counted. Further-
more, the culture was photographed, and fro~ ~he photos,
the number and length of neurites per cell were measured.
The numer of living cells was counted for 3 to 6 dishes by
resistance to staining with~erythrosine dye. The number
; and length of the neurites were measured with regard to 6
3s photos (more than 200 cells per photo~
As a simple method of evaluation, the number of

~3~ ~-3~
- 74 -
cells having neurites with a length equal to, or larger
than, the long diameter of the cell was divided by the
total number of cells~ The results are shown in Tables 1
and 2.
In order to examine the effects of the test
compounds, the following method was also employed.
Mouse neuro 2a cells in the logarithmic growth
period in the Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM)
containing 10% FCS was seeded in a 48-well plate so that
the number of cells was 1,000 cells/well, and cultured for
one day in 0.25 ml of the culture fluid in each well. The
culture medium was then replaced by a medium containing
each of the test compounds and FCS, and the cells were
further cultured for 24 hours. Then, a 4~ aqueous
glutaraldehyde solution in the same amount as the medium
(0.25 ml) was added, and the culture fluid was left to
stand at room temperature for 2 hours to fix the cells.
After washing with water, a 0.05% aqueous solution of
methylene blue was added to stain the cells. Under a
microscope; the nu~ber of cells containing outgrown
neurites (cells having at least one neurite with a length
at least two times as large as;the long diameter of the
cell~ was counted visually~ and the proportion of these
cells in the entire cells was calculated. The well was
observed over 5 or more visual fields (at least 2~ of the
entire surface area of the well) continuous to the left
and right from a mark put at the center of the well, and
more than 200 cells was counted. One drug co~pound was
used in 6 different concentrations at most, and three runs
were conducted for each concentration. The results were
expressed as a mean ~S.D., and ~he results are shown in
Table 3.

Example 2C
Gura~ive effect on rats with crushed sciatic
nerves:-
The curing effect of the compound (I) of the
invention was tested on rats having crushed sciatic nervesas a model of peripheral nervous disorder using ~1~ a
change in the action of the hind paw with the crushed
scia~ic nerves and (2) a change in the weight of the
muscle as an index of ~he course of degeneration and
regeneartion of peripheral nerves.
In the experiment, male Wistar rats (6 weeks
old), seven pee group, were used. The sciatic nerves were
crushed by a method similar to the method of Yamatsu et
al. ~see Kiyomi Yamatsu, Takenori Kaneko, Akifumi Kitahara
and Isao Ohkawa, Journal of Japanese Pharmacological
Society, 72, 259-268 (1976) and the method of Hasegawa et
al. (see Kazuo Hasegawa, Naoji Mikuni and Yutaka Sakai,
Journal of Japanese Pharmacological Society, 74, 721-734
(1978). Specifically, under anesthesia with pentobarbital
(40 mg/kg, i.p.~, the left side sciatic nerve was exposed
at the femur and that site of the exposed sciatic nerve
which was 5 mm to the center from the branched part
between the NO tibialis and the N. suralis was crushed
using a modified artery, klomme, having a width of 2 mm
and a gap of 0.1 mm. After the operation, the rats were
assigned to the test groups at random.
Compound No. 408~was selected as the compound
(I) of the invention and intraperitoneaIly administered to
the rats once a day from the day of operation to the 22nd
day. A group to which mecobalamin (made hy Gedeon Richter
Ltd.) was administered and a group to which 0.9% saline
was administered were used as controls. The ~ollowing
; items were measured with the lapse of time (on the 1st,
4th, 7th, 10th, 14th, 17th,-21st, and 23rd days after the
3s crushing of the sciatic nerves~.

(1) Chan~e in the action of the side of the
hind paw with the crushed sciatic nerve:-
The distance between digits was measured becausethis is a good index which functionally shows the de-
gellera~ion and regeneration of the nerve and its changecan be measured with the lapse of time.
By a method similar to ~he method of Hasegawa
tHasegawa~ K~, Experientia, 34~ 750-751 tl978)1, the
distance be~ween the first and fifth digits of the hind
paw was measured~
The ratio of the measured distance to the normal
distance was calculated and expressed in percentage ~%~.
The average calculated values and the standard errors (S~ :
E~) are shown in Table 4. To the values of the test
groups which are significantly different, by the t-test of
9tudent, from that of the control group to which physio-
logical saline was administered, superscript :is attached
where p<0.05 and superscript , where p<0~01.
: The distance between the digits was about half
(50~ of he normal distance immediately after the crush-
ing:of the sciatic nerve~ and tended to decline until the
tenth dayO No significant difference was seen among the
groups. Regeneration proceeded in the drug-administered
groups on the 14th and 17th:days, but they showed no
: ~ 25 significant dif~erence from the group to which saline was
administered. On the 21st day, there was an apparent
tendency ~o quicker recovery in the drug-administered
groups and the mecobbalamin-administered group, and these
groups also show significant differences from the group to
: 30 which saline was administered. Recovery continued also on
the 23rd day~
(2) Change in the weight of muscle
It is known that removal o~ a nerve or its
disorder causes atrophy of the muscle which is under its
control, and the atrophy is gradually cured by re-control
by the nerve. For this reason, a change in the weight of
,

~L3~
-- 8g --
the muscle, which is quantitative, was selected as an
index. Twenty-three days after the operation, the soleus
muscles of both sides of paws were extracted under
anesthesia with pentobarbital, and their weights were
measured. The ratio of the weight of the soleus muscle on
the crushed side to that of normal side was calculated and
expressed in percentage (%). The average values and the
standard errors ~S. E.) of the groups are shown in Table
4.
~ccording to experience with another experiment,
the weight of the muscle in the saline-administered group
began to decrease two days after the crushing of the
sciatic nerve and became about 90% of the normal Yalue
In 10 to 14 days, it reached about 40%, the lowest value,
and the atrophy of the muscle reached a maximum. There-
after~ the atrophy began to cure gradually.
In the present experiment, it is clear that in
the groups to which tbe compound of the invention was
administered, the recovery of the weight of the muscle was
2~ promoted dose-dependently with a significant difference
from the saline-adminsitered group on the 21st day.

Example 3C
Promoting effect on th~ improvement of motor
imbalance due to injury of the rat's brain cells by trans-
plantation of fetal cerebral cells:
Nigral dopaminergic nerve cells at the ~eft side
of the brain of 4-week old female Wist:ar rats tbody weight
100 g~ were lesioned by injecting a very small quantity
of 6 hydroxydopamine. The rats showed a tendency to
rotate spontaneously in a direction opposite to the
lesioned side for several days, but no apparent abnormal
action was observed after that. Upon administration of
methamphethamine (5 mg~kg, i~po~ to the rats having the
lesioned nigral dopaminergic nerve cells, they began
rotational movement toward the lesioned side.
After two weeks from the destruction by the
administration of the drug, portions of the truncus
corporis callosi containing dopamine cells (i. e., sub-
stantia nigra and the tagmentum at the abdomen side) were
cut from the brain of a fetal rat of 14 to 17 days of age,
cut finely, and treated with trypsin. Then, the extracted
tissues were incubated at 37C for 30 minu~es, and the
tissues were subjected to pipetting to form a suspensionO
Five microliters of the suspension wa~ transplanted each
into two sites of the caudate nucleus of the lesioned side
~10 microliters in total, about 105 cells).
Each of the compounds ~I~ in a dose oE 100 mg/kg
(i.p.) was administered every day over two weeks from the
day of transplantation. The rotational movements induced
by administration of methamphetamine were examined 2
weeks and 1 week before, and 2 weeks and 4 week~ after,
the transplantation and the administration of the drug.
The number of rotational movements within one minute was
counted at intervals of 10 minutes after the administra-
tion of methamphetamine, and the total number of rota-
tional movements counted six times was averaged to find amean number of the rotational movements.
The results are shown in Table 5.

The results given in Table 5 demonstrate that
the rats, tWQ and four weeks after administration of the
drug, showed less numbers of rotational movements than the
rats to which saline was administered, and the compounds
(I) have an effect of repairing and regernerating the
nerves and an effect of recovering motor functionO
Example 4C
The acute toxicity of the compounds of the
inven~ion was examined by the following method~
Male ddy-s~rain 5-week old mice and male Wistar-
strain 8 week old rats, five per group, were used as
experimental animals. Each of the compounds was dissolved
in saline and administered perorally~ and the toxicity of
the compound was assessed 24 hours after the administra-
tion. The results are shown in Tables 6 and 7.
