Tricyclic Quinoxalinedione Derivatives
This invention relates to a new class of tricyclic quinoxalinedione
derivatives which are selective antagonists of glycine binding site of the NMDA
(N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor. Particularly, ~he compounds provided by the
present invention show in viYo antagonism against the excitation of the NMDA
receptors under systemic administrations and therefore, are especially useful
for minlmizing damage of central nervous system induced by ischemic or
hypoxic conditions such as stroke, hypoglycemia, cardiac arrest, and physical
trauma, (see, J. McCulloch, Br. J. clin. Pharmacol., 34, 106 (1992)). The
compounds are also useful in treatment of a number of neurodegenerative
disorders including epilepsy, Huntington's chorea, Parkinson's disease, and : -
Alzheimer's disease (reviews: G. Johnson, Annu. Rep. Med. Chem., 24, 41
(1989) and C,. Johson and C. F. Bigge, ibid., 26, 11, (1991)). The present
1~ compounds may also have analgesic, antidepressant, anxiolytic, and anti -
schizophrenic activities, by virtue of these NMDA-glycine antagonism, as
indicated by recent reports, e.g. A. H. ~ickenson and E. Aydar, Neuroscience
Lett., 121, 263 (1991), R. Trullas and P. Skolnick, Eur. J. Pharmacol., 185, 1
(1990), J. H. Kehne, et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol., 193, 283 (1991), P. H. Hutson, et
al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 103, 2037 (1991), in which the reagents affecting glycine -
binding site of NMDA receptors have shown such aGtivities. Excessive release
of glutamic acid and/or glycine from neuronal and glial cells results in
overexcitation of NMDA receptor-Ca2+ channel complexes and successive
massive amount of Ca2-~ influx into the cell, which leads to neuronal cell death.
NMDA-glycine antagonist described in the present invention would obviously
regulate the amount of Ca2+ influx from the glycine modulatory site of NMDA
receptor-channel complex to maintain normal activities of neuronal cell.
Therefore, the compounds of the present invention may be potential
therapeutic agents for any diseases of animals including human caused by
excessive glutamic acid and/or glycine release in addition to the diseases
indicated above.

whereln X and R1 ar~ as defined abov~.
Compounds of formula 62 may be readily prepared by a method
doscribed in litera~ures. For ~xample, tetrahydroquinollne-2-carboxyllc acid
methyl ester may conveniently be prepared by hydrogenation of quinaldinic
5 acid over PtO2 in methanol followed by treatment of thionyl chloride In
methanol at ambient to refluxing temperature, or by direc~ hydrogenation of
quinaldinic acid rn~thyl ester in acetic acid. Alternatively, tetrahydroquinoline-2 -
carboxylic acid methyl ester may be prepared by rsduction of quinaidinic acid
methyl ester with combination of NiC12 and sodium borohydrlde in methanol at
10 0C to room temperature. R1 sub.stituted tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acid
methyl esters comprised in compounds ~2 can be prepared by following
sequence: a) Carboxyl group can be introduced into C 2 position of
R1substituted corresponding quinolines by using Reissert reaction followed by
hydrolysis ~W. E. McEwen and R. L. Cobb, Chem. Rev., 5~, 511 (1955)): and b)
15 the resulUng substituted quinoline-2-carboxylic acids were methylated, and
then reduc0d to tha corresponding tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acid
methyl esters as mentioned above. The R1 substituted quinolines may be
commercially available or readily prepared by using Skraup reaction ~R. H. F.
Manske and M. Kulka, Org. React., 7, 59 (19~3)). When R1 is not hydrogen,
20 compounds 62 may exist as a diastereomixture. Such a diastereomer can be
convenientiy separated to a pure isomer by a conventional column
chromatography technique.
1) Compounds 82 are reduced to the corresponding alcohols 64 by
using lithium aluminum hydride in an iner~ solvent such as diethyi ether or T~iF25 at 0C to refluxing temperature.
2) Compounds 64 can be converted into 65 by two step sequences: a)
treatment with triphenyl phosphine imidazole-iodine in toluene or in a mixed
solvent oF toluene-acstonitrile at 0C to ambient temperature to form the
corresponding iodides, and b) replacement ef the iodide to the Gyanide with
30 sodium cyanlde in DMF at amblent tempsra~ure to around 80~C to provide 6~.
3) Hydrolysis of compounds 65 with a strong acid such as 12 N
hydrochloric acid at elevated temperatur~ followed by methylation of the
resulting carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride in methanol gives compounds

; 2~2~9
66.
4) Compounds of formula 66 are transformed to compounds 67 by
reaction with ethyl chloroglyoxalate in an inert solvent such as methylene
chloride, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and ethyl acetate, at temperature
range of - 10 to 30C.
5) Compounds 67 are converted to compounds 68 by using
conventional aromatic electrophilic substitution technique (see, for example
~dvanced Organic Chemistry, Jerry March ed., Chapter 13, 576). In the case
of X = Br, compounds 67 are reacted with bromine in halogenated solvent such
as methylene chloride in the presence or absence of a catalyst such as Fe
powder to give the brominated compounds comprised in 68. In the case of X =
Cl, compounds 67 are reacted with N-chlorosuccinimide in dimethylformamide
(DMF) at ambient temperature to give the chlorinated compounds comprised in
68. When X is Br, compounds 68 can also be synthesized by direct
1~ bromination of compounds 66 with N-bromosuccinimide in dimethylformamide
(DMF) followed by acylation with ethyl chloroglyoxalate.
~) Compounds 6~ can be transformed to compounds 69 by
conventional nitration conditions including treatment with fuming nitric acid at0C to ambient temperature, nitric acid or isopropyl nitrate in concentrated
sulfuric acid at 0C to ambient temperature, a mixed reagent of trifluoroacetic
anhydride and ammonium nitrate in halogenated solvent such as chloroform
and methylene chloride at ambient to refluxing temperature, and nitronium
tetrafluoroborate in halogenated solvent such as chloroform and methylene
chloride at ambient temperature.
7) Reductive ring closure of compounds &~ to 70 are effected by
aqueous titanium trichloride in protic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, and
acetic acid or in aprotic solvent such as acetone, THF, or DMF at 0C to
ambient temperature. Other reducing reagents including stannous dichloride,
zinc, iron powder, and formate-palladium on carbon may be utilizable for the
ring closure. The compounds of formula 70 wherein X is Br may be especially
useful, since the Br substituent of X can be readily displaced to various
substituents such as Cl, I, CN, alkyl, and CF3 under conditions such as CuCI -
dimethyl sulfoxide-1 50C, Cul-KI-hexamethylphosphorous triamide-1 50C,

~ t ~
- 15 -
CuCN-dimethyl sulfoxide-150C, alkyl-copper reagent-TllF-0C, and
CF3CO2Na-Cul-N-methylpyrrolidone-1 60C, respectively. Compounds of
formula 70 wherein X is hydrogen may be obtained by catalytic hydrogenation
of compounds of formula 70 wherein X is Br by using Pd/C in methanol.
5 Compounds of formula 70 wherein X is nitro may be obtained by standard
nitration of compounds of formula 7û wherein X is hydrogen.
8) Carboxylic acids 4 can be prepared by hydrolysis of 70. The
hydrolytic conditions include treatment with alkaline metal hydroxide or
carbonate such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate
10 in a mixed solvent of water and protic or aprotic solvent such as methanol,
ethanol, or THF at temperature range of 0 to 60C, or treatment with aqueous
strong acid such as 1 N ~ 12 N hydrochloric acid, or 5 ~ 48% hydrobromic acid
in protic or aprotic solvent such as acetic acid or dioxane at temperature rangeof ambient temperature to 1 00C.
Similarly, Optically active 4 wherein R1 is hydrogen may be prepared, if
desired, starting from optically active 62 wherein R1 is hydrogen of which
synthesis is described in J. Chem. Soc. Perkin 1 1977, ~96.

The compounds of the present invention strongly inhibit both [3H] 5,7 -
dichlorokynurenic acid (DCKA) and [3H] glycine binding to the rat brain
synaptic membrane preparation, implying that these compounds possess the
potent affinities for strychnine-insensitive glycine modulatory site of NMDA (N -
methyl D-aspartate) receptors (see, for example, Y. Yoneda, et al., J.
Neurochem., ~0, 634 (1993)). The activities of the compounds were measured
by [3H] DCKA and [3H] glycine binding inhibition studies as illustrated below.
[3H] glycine binding studies
A crude rat brain synaptic membrane preparation was washed three
times by centrifugation at 50,000 x g for 30 min with 50 mM tris acetate (pH 7.4).
The pellets obtained were suspended in 0.23 M sucrose solution and stored at

0.08% triton X-100 at 2C for 10 min, and washed twice by the centrifugation as
mentioned above. The synaptic membrane thus prepared (ca. 150 - 200 ~19 of
protein) was incubated with 10 nM [3H] glycine (1.11 TBq/mmol) and the test
compound (10 ng/mL ~ 0.1 nglmL) at 2C for 10 min in 50 mM tris acetate (pH
