English Abstract




The invention pertains to triazolopurines of formula (I). The claimed
compounds show an affinity to adenosine receptors and thus represent a new
class of adenosine antagonists. Generally, adenosine antagonists can have a
therapeutically useful effect in cases where diseases or pathological
situations involve activation of adenosine receptors.


French Abstract

L'invention concerne des triazolopurines de formule (I). Les composés de l'invention présentent une affinité vis-à-vis des récepteurs d'adénosine et constituent ainsi une nouvelle catégorie d'antagonistes de l'adénosine. En général, les antagonistes d'adénosine peuvent avoir un effet utile sur le plan thérapeutique dans les cas où les maladies ou les états pathologiques sont liés à une activation des récepteurs d'adénosine.

The compounds according to the invention have an affinity
for adenosine receptors and thus constitute a new category
of adenosine antagonists. In general, adenosine
antagonists may exhibit a therapeutically useful activity
in cases where diseases or pathological situations are
connected with the activation of adenosine receptors.

Adenosine is an endogenous neuromodulator with
predominantly inhibitory effects on the CNS, heart,
kidneys and other organs. The effects of adenosine are
mediated through at least three receptor subtypes:
adenosine Al, ~ and A3 receptors.
In the CNS, adenosine develops inhibitory effects
predominantly by activating Al receptors: presynaptically
by inhibiting synaptic transmission (inhibiting the
release of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine,
dopamine, noradrenalin, serotonin, glutamate, etc.), and
postsynaptically by inhibiting neuronal activity.


CA 022~6736 1998-12-02





Al antagonists cancel out the inhibitory effects of
adenosine and promote neuronal transmission and neuronal
activity.

Al antagonists are therefore of great interest in the
treatment of degenerative diseases of the central nervous
system such as senile dementia of the Alzheimer's type and
age-associated disorders of memory and learning
performance.
The disease includes, in addition to forgetfulness in its
mild form and total helplessness and absolute dependence
'; on care in the most severe form, a range of other
accompanying systems such as sleep disorders, motor-
coordination disorders up to the clinical picture of
Parkinson's disease as well as increased lability affect
and depressive symptoms. The disease is progressive and
can result in death. Therapy up till now has been
unsatisfactory. Hitherto, there has been a complete
absence of specific therapeutic agents. Attempts at
therapy with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors exhibit some
effect in a small proportion of patients but are connected
with a high level of side effects.

,
The pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease and SDAT is
characterised by a severe impairment of the cholinergic
system, but other transmitter systems are also affected.
As a result of the loss of presynaptic cholinergic and
other neurons and the resulting lack of provision of
neurotransmitters, neuronal transmission and neuronal
activity is significantly reduced in the areas of the
brain essential for learning and memory.

Selective adenosine Al receptor antagonist~ promote
neuronal transmission by increased provision of
neurotransmitters, they increa~e the excitability of


CA 022~6736 1998-12-02





postsynaptic neurons and can thus counteract the symptoms
of the disease.

The high receptor affinity and selectivity of some of the
compounds claimed should make it possible to treat
Alzheimer's disease and SDAT with low doses, so that
hardly any side effects can be expected which cannot be
attributed to the blockade of A1 receptors.

Another indication for centrally acting adenosine Al
~ antagonists is depression. The therapeutic success of
antidepressant substances appears to be connected to the
regulation of A1 receptors. A1 antagonists may lead to
the regulation of adenosine A1 receptors and thus present
a new therapeutic approach to the treatment of depressive
patients.

Other fields of use particularly for A2-selective
adenosine antagonists are neurodegenerative diseases such
as Parkinson's disease and also migraine. Adenosine
inhibits the release of dopamine from central synaptic
nerve endings by interaction with dopamine-D2 receptors.
A2 antagonists increase the release and availability of
dopamine and thus offer a new therapeutic principle for
treating Parkinson's disease.

In migraine, vasodilation of cerebral blood vessels
mediated by A2 receptors appears to be involved.
Selective A2 antagonists inhibit vasodilation and may thus
be useful in treating migraine.

Adenosine antagonists may also be used in the treatment of
peripheral indications.

For example, the activation of Al receptors in the lungs
may lead to bronchoconstriction. Selective adenosine Al
antagoniqts relax the smooth muscle of the trachea, cause


CA 022~6736 1998-12-02





bronchodilation and may thus be useful as antiasthmatic
agents.

By activating A2 receptors, adenosine may also lead, under
certain circumstances, to respiratory depression and
stoppage of breathing. A2 antagonists cause respiratory
stimulation. For example, adenosine antagonists
(theophyllin) are used for treating respiratory distress
and for preventing "sudden infant death" in premature
babies.

Important fields of therapy for adenosine antagonists are
also cardiovascular diseases and kidney diseases.

In the heart, adenosine causes inhibition of electrical
and contractile activity by activating Al receptors. In
conjunction with coronary vasodilation mediated by A2
receptors, adenosine has a negative chronotropic,
ionotropic, dromotropic, bathmotropic and bradycardiac
effect and lowers the minute output.

Adenosine Al receptor antagonists are able to prevent
damage to the heart and lungs caused by ischaemia and
subsequent reperfusion. Consequently, adenosine
, 25 antagonists may be used for the prevention and early
treatment of damage to the heart caused by ischaemic
reperfusion, e.g. after coronary bypass surgery, heart
transplants, angioplasty or thrombolytic treatment of the
heart and similar interventions. The same is true of the
lungs.

In the kidneys, the activation of A1 receptors causes
vasoconstriction of afferent arterioles and, consequently,
a fall in renal blood flow and glomerular filtration. Al
antagonists act as powerful potassium-saving diuretics on
the kidneys and can thus be used for kidney protection and


CA 022~6736 1998-12-02





for the treatment of oedema, renal insufficiency and acute
renal failure.

Because of the adenosine antagonism on the heart and the
- 5 diuretic activity, Al antagonists may be used to
therapeutic effect for various cardiovascular diseases,
such as cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmias
(bradyarrhythmias) associated with hypoxia or ischaemia,
conduction disorders, hypertension, ascites in liver
failure (hepato-renal syndrome) and as an analgesic in
circulatory disorders.
.~.
! ~
Surprisingly, some of the compounds according to the
invention display an affinity for the A3-adenosine
receptor. A3 antagonists inhibit the degranulation of
mast cells caused by activation of the A3 receptor and are
therefore therapeutically useful in all diseases and
pathological situations connected with mast cell
degranulation; e.g. as anti-inflammatory substances in
hypersensitivity reactions such as asthma, allergic
rhinitis, urticaria, in myocardial reperfusion injury,
scleroderma, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory
bowel diseases, and the like. Cystic fibrosis - also
known as mucoviscidosis - is a congenital metabolic
,~ ) 25 disorder caused by a genetic defect on a certain
chromosome. As a result of increased production and
increased viscosity of the secretions of the mucous glands
in the bronchi, there may be severe complications in the
airways. Early investigations have shown that A1
antagonists increase the efflux of chloride ions, e.g. in
CF PAC cells. On the basis of these findings it is to be
expected that the compounds according to the invention
will regulate the disrupted electrolyte bands of the cells
and alleviate the symptoms of the disease in patients
- 35 suffering from cystic fibrosis (mucovicidosis).

The base may be an alkali or alkaline earth metal
alkoxide, e.g. of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-, sec-
or tert.-butyl alcohol. Suitable alkali and alkaline
earth metals include for example lithium, sodium,
potassium, magnesium and calcium. Sodium methoxide,
sodium ethoxide, sodium isopropoxide and potassium
tert.-butoxide are particularly preferred as the base.
Furthermore, alkali or alkaline earth metal hydrides may
be used as bases. The hydrides of sodium, lithium,
potassium, magnesium and calcium are preferred. Suitable
inert sol~ents are dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide,
methylene chloride and tetrahydrofuran. Additionally,
alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxides of lithium,
sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium may also be used,
but preferably sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide,
lithium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide in alcoholic or
aqueous solution.

In addition to the alkylcyanoacetates, cyanoacetic acid

ambient temperature for 0.5 to 4 hours, preferably 1 to 2
hours and then mixed with a compound of general formula
(3) and stirred for 2 to 12, preferably 4 to 6 hours,
preferably at reflux temperature. The reaction mixture is
then mixed with water at ambient temperature and
acidified, after which the solid is filtered off, washed
and dried. Examples of suitable acids are formic acid,

~ halogenated solvent such as carbon tetrachloride,
methylene chloride, preferably methylene chloride,
whereupon the compound of general formula (5) can be
isolated as a solid by filtering. The compound of general
formula (12) can be obtained from the filtrate by removing

formula (12) from the filtrate, the phases of the filtrate
may be separated, the aqueous solution may be extracted
with an halogenated solvent, preferably methylene
chloride, and the combined organic phases may be dried and

Dia~ram 4:

According to the invention, there are two alternative
processes which may be used.

Step 4, alternative A:
A compound of general formula (5) is dissolved or
suspended in a polar solvent, the polar solvent possibly
consistlng of any of the above-mentioned solvents and
dimethylacetamide or an alcohol, e.g. methanol, ethanol,
~ propanol, isopropanol and butanol. Dimethylformamide is
particularly preferred. It is advisable to use the chosen

ambient temperature if required to finish off the
reaction. The solvent is eliminated in vacuo, the residue
is filtered with a solvent, e.g. diethylether, washed with

Diaqram 5:

The following alternative methods may be used for this
purpose.

Step 5, alternative A:
The nitroso compound (6) is suspended in water with
stirring and combined with a suitable reducing agent.
Suitable reducing agents are dithionite in acid or
alkaline solution. Also ammonium sulphite, lithium,

hydrogenation, e.g. with cyclohexane or ammonium formate
as the hydrogen source. However, it is preferable to use
sodium dithionite. Apart from the aqueous ammonia
solution which is preferably used, alkali or alkaline
earth metal hydroxide solutions, e.g. lithium, sodium,
potassium hydroxide or magnesium, calcium and barium
hydroxide solutions, but preferably the dilute solutions,
may be used as bases. Furthermore, the methyl, ethyl,
isopropyl, n-propyl, isobutyl, tert.-butyl and n-butyl
alkoxides of the above-mentioned alkali and alkaline earth

100~C, preferably 50 to 90~C, most preferably 60 to 80~C
~ and mixed with an acid, preferably at the beginning, but
most preferably within the first 30 minutes. Possible
acids are inorganic acids, hydrochloric and sulphuric acid
and organic acids such as formic acid and acetic acid and
mixtures thereof, sulphuric acid being preferred whilst
50~ sulphuric acid is particularly preferred. The
resulting mixture is refluxed until the reaction is
complete. On cooling, the product is precipitated as a
hemisulphate. Moreover, the product can be precipitated
by neutralising with an aqueous base, e.g. lithium
hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide,
preferably sodium hydroxide solution, most preferably 30
by weight sodium hydroxide solution by neutralising and
then filtered off as a free base.

Step 5, alternative B:
The nitroso compound (6) is added to a mixture of aqueous
base and an alcohol, with stirring. Then, after the
nitroso compound has been dissolved or suspended, the
reducing agent is added, preferably in solution. Possible
reducing agents are those mentioned in Method A, an
aqueous solution of sodium dithionite being particularly
preferred. Then the mixture is stirred at ambient
temperature for 0.5 to 6, preferably 1 to 4, most

For this, the amino compound of general formula (7) is
suspended in an organic solvent and mixed with an organic
base. After the mixture has been kept at ambient
temperature for 40 to 60 minutes, preferably 20 to 50
minutes, most preferably 25 to 45 minutes, the mixture is
cooled to 0 to 15~C, preferably 5 to 10~C and combined
with a carboxylic acid derivative wherein the group R2 is

dimethylformamide is particularly preferred. Suitable
organic bases are dimethylaminopyridine, pyridine, tert.-
amines, such as trimethylamine, triethylamine,
diisopropylethylamine, DBU (diazabicycloundecene) or one
of the inorganic bases mentioned earlier, particularly
alkali or alkaline earth metal carbonates or hydrogen
carbonates. However, dimethylaminopyridine is
particularly suitable as the base. Carboxylic acid
derivatives which may be used according to the invention
are the carboxylic acid halides, preferably carboxylic
acid chlorides or carboxylic acids if they are suitably

activated. This may be done, for example, by reacting
with chloroformic acid esters, carbonyldiimidazole,
carbodiimides, such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, EDAC, or
benzotriazoles, such as HOBt (1-hydroxy-1-H-benzotriazole)
5 and TBTU. Similarly, the corresponding aldehyde may also
be used instead of the carboxylic acid derivative and the
~ intermediate product may be oxidised with
iron(II)chloride, azodicarboxylic acid esters and other
oxidising agents. The mixture is then stirred at ambient
temperature for 0.5 to 4 hours, preferably 1 to 3 hours,
most preferably 2 hours, at 5 to 20~C, preferably 7 to
f 15~C, most preferably 10~C and overnight at ambient
temperature and the solvent is then eliminated in vacuo.

preferably 1 to 2 hours, most preferably 1.5 hours at 50
to 250~C, preferably 100 to 225~C, most preferably 180 -
200~C. The formamide remaining is distilled off in vacuo
and the residue is taken up in water. The solid thus
obtained is filtered off, washed with water and the
resulting product is purified optionally by
recrystallisation or chromatography, preferably column
chromatography.
Step 7, Method C:
Moreover, the compound of general formula (9) may be
obtained directly from the nitroso compound of general
formula (6) if R2 denotes a group NR8R9, wherein R8 and R9
are as hereinbefore defined. To a solution of the desired
~ N-formylamine in diglyme, phosphorusoxychloride is added
at -10 to +20~C, preferably -5 to +5~C, most preferably

The mixture is refluxed until the reaction is complete.
After cooling, the product is usually obtained as a
hemisulphate. If no solid is precipitated, the mixture is
neutralised with 30~ sodium hydroxide solution and the
S free base precipitated is filtered off.

General method (alternative B):
11.5 mMol of nitroso compound (6) or (13) are added to a
mixture of 175 ml of 25~ aqueous ammonia and 36 ml of
ethanol, with stirring. Then the mixture is stirred at
30~C until the nitroso compound has substantially
dissolved, a solution of 6.1 g (34.7 mMol) of Na2S2O4 in
57 ml of H2O is added dropwise and stirring is continued
for a further 1.5 to 3 hours at ambient temperature. If
some starting compound is still present, 10~ of the above
quantity of Na2S2O4 are added and stirring is continued
until the reaction is complete. The product is isolated
by filtering.

The compounds of general formula (I) may be used on their
own or combined with other active substances according to
the invention, possibly also together with other
pharmacologically active substances. Suitable
preparations include, for example, tablets, capsules,
suppositories, solutions, syrups, emulsions or dispersible
powders. Corresponding tablets may be obtained, for
example, by mixing the active substance or substances with
known excipients such as inert diluents, e.g. calcium
carbonate, calcium phosphate or lactose, disintegrants
such as corn starch or alginic acid, binders such as
starch or gelatine, lubricants such as magnesium stearate
' or talc, and/or agents for achieving delayed release such
as carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate or
polyvinyl acetate. The tablets may also be made up of
several layers.

Coated tablets may be prepared analogously by coating
cores produced in the same way as the tablets with agents
conventionally used in tablet coatings, e.g. collidone or
shellack, gum arabic, talc, titanium dioxide or sugar. To
achieve delayed release or prevent incompatibilities, the
core may also be made up of several layers. Similarly,
the tablet coating may be made up of several layers to
- 25 achieve delayed release, in which case the excipients used
for the tablets may be used.

Syrups of the active substances according to the invention
or combinations of active substances may additionally
contain a sweetener such as saccharin, cyclamate, glycerol
or sugar and a flavouring improving agent, e.g. a
flavouring such as vanillin or orange extract. They may
also contain suspension adjuvants or thickeners such as
sodium carboxymethylcellulose, wetting agents, e.g.
condensation products of fatty alcohols with ethylene
oxide, or preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates.



CA 022~6736 1998-12-02



133
Injectable solutions are produced in the usual way, e.g.
by adding preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates or
stabilisers such as alkali metal salts of ethylenediamine
tetraacetic acid and are transferred into injection vials
or ampoules.

The capsules containing one or more active substances or
combinations of active substances may be produced by
mixing the active substances with inert carriers such as
lactose or sorbitol and packing them into gelatine
capsules.

! Suitable suppositories may be prepared, for example, by
mixing with carriers intended for this purpose such as
neutral fats or polyethyleneglycol or derivatives thereof.

A therapeutically active daily dose is between 1 and
800 mg, preferably 10 to 300 mg per adult.
