racemisation can additionally be suppressed, if desired, or the reaction speed
can be increased. The couplings are normally carried out with equimolar
amounts of the coupling components as well as the coupling reagent in
solvents such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dimethyl
formamide (DMF), dimethyl acetamide (DMA), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or

Stereoisomeric compounds of formula (I) may be separated in principle by
conventional methods. The diastereomers may be separated on the basis of
their different physico-chemical properties, e.g. by fractional
crystallisation
from suitable solvents, by high pressure liquid or column chromatography,
using chiral or preferably non-chiral stationary phases.
Racemates covered by general formula (I) may be separated for example by
HPLC on suitable chiral stationary phases (e.g. Chiral AGP, Chiralpak AD).
Racemates which contain a basic or acidic function can also be separated via
the diastereomeric, optically active salts which are produced on reacting with
an optically active acid, for example (+) or (-)-tartaric acid, (+) or (-)-
diacetyl
tartaric acid, (+) or (-)-monomethyl tartrate or (+)-camphorsulphonic acid, or
an optically active base, for example with (R)-(+)-1-phenylethylamine, (S)-(-)-
1-phenylethylamine or (S)-brucine.
According to a conventional method of separating isomers, the racemate of a
compound of general formula (I) is reacted with one of the abovementioned
optically active acids or bases in equimolar amounts in a solvent and the
resulting crystalline, diastereomeric, optically active salts thereof are
separated using their different solubilities. This reaction may be carried out
in
any type of solvent provided that it is sufficiently different in terms of the
solubility of the salts. Preferably, methanol, ethanol or mixtures thereof,
for
example in a ratio by volume of 50:50, are used. Then each of the optically
active salts is dissolved in water, neutralised with a base such as sodium -
carbonate or potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide solution or potassium
hydroxide solution and in this way the corresponding free compound is
obtained in the (+) or (-) form.
The (R) or (S) enantiomer alone or a mixture of two optically active
diastereomeric compounds covered by general formula I may also be
obtained by performing the syntheses described above with a suitable
reaction component in the (R) or (S) configuration.

chlorine or bromine atom, the S02H, S03H or OPOC12- group and Nu", which
may be different from Nu or may also be the same as Nu, may assume the
same meanings as Nu.
The compounds of general formula I obtained may, if they contain suitable
basic functions, be converted, particularly for pharmaceutical use, into their
physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids. Suitable
acids
include for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid,
nitric acid, sulphuric acid, methanesulphonic acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid,
acetic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, malic
acid,
citric acid, tartaric acid or malefic acid.
Moreover, the new compounds of formula (I), if they contain an acid function,
for example a carboxy group, may if desired be converted into the addition
salts thereof with inorganic or organic bases, particularly for pharmaceutical
use into the physiologically acceptable addition salts thereof. Suitable bases
for this include, for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide,
ammonia, cyclohexylamine, dicyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine
and triethanolamine.
The new compounds of general formula I and the physiologically acceptable
salts thereof have CGRP-antagonistic properties and exhibit good affinities in
CGRP receptor binding studies. The compounds display CGRP-antagonistic
properties in the pharmacological test systems described hereinafter.
The following experiments were carried out to demonstrate the affinity of
compounds of general formula I for human CGRP-receptors and their
antagonistic properties:

A. Binding studies with SK-N-MC cells (expressing the human CGRP
receptor)
SK-N-MC cells are cultivated in "Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium". The
medium is removed from confluent cultures. The cells are washed twice with
PBS buffer (Gibco 041-04190 M), detached by the addition of PBS buffer
mixed with 0.02% EDTA, and isolated by centrifuging. After resuspension in
20 ml of "Balanced Salts Solution" [BSS (in mM): NaCI 120, KCI 5.4, NaHC03
16.2, MgS04 0.8, NaHP04 1.0, CaCl2 1.8, D-glucose 5.5, HEPES 30, pH
7.40] the cells are centrifuged twice at 100 x g and resuspended in BSS. After
the number of cells has been determined, the cells are homogenised using an
Ultra-Turrax and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 3000 x g. The supernatant is
discarded and the pellet is recentrifuged in Tris buffer (10 mM Tris, 50 mM
NaCI, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.40) enriched with 1 % bovine serum
albumin and 0.1% bacitracin, and resuspended (1 ml / 1000000 cells). The
homogenised product is frozen at -80°C. The membrane preparations are
stable for more than 6 weeks under these conditions.
After thawing, the homogenised product is diluted 1:10 with assay buffer (50
mM Tris, 150 mM NaCI, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.40) and
homogenised for 30 seconds with an Ultra-Turrax. 230 NI of the homogenised
product are incubated for 180 minutes at ambient temperature with 50 pM
1251-iodotyrosyl-Calcitonin-Gene-Related Peptide (Amersham) and increasing
concentrations of the test substances in a total volume of 250 NI. The
incubation is ended by rapid filtration through GF/B-glass fibre ~Iters
treated
with polyethyleneimine (0.1 %) using a cell harvester. The protein-bound
radioactivity is measured using a gamma counter. Non-specific binding is
defined as the bound radioactivity in the presence of 1 NM human CGRP-
alpha during incubation.
The concentration binding curves are analysed using computer-aided non-
linear curve matching.

The compounds of general formula I show IC50 values s 10000 nM in the
test described.
B. CGRP Antagonism in SK-N-MC cells
SK-N-MC cells (1 million cells) are washed twice with 250 NI incubation buffer
(Hanks' HEPES, 1 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 1% BSA, pH 7.4) and
pre-incubated at 37°C for 15 minutes. After the addition of CGRP (10
pl) as
agonist in increasing concentrations (10-11 to 10-6 M), or additionally the
substance in 3 to 4 different concentrations, the mixture is incubated for
another 15 minutes.
Intracellular cAMP is then extracted by the addition of 20 pl of 1 M HCI and
centrifugation (2000 x g, 4°C, for 15 minutes). The supernatants are
frozen in
liquid nitrogen and stored at -20°C.
The cAMP contents of the samples are determined by radioimmunoassay
(Messrs. Amersham) and the pA2 values of antagonistically acting
substances are determined graphically.
The compounds of general formula I exhibit CGRP-antagonistic properties in
the in vitro test model described, in a dosage range of between 10-" to 10-5
M.
In view of their pharmacological properties the compounds of general formula
I and the salts thereof with physiologically acceptable acids or bases are
thus
suitable for the acute and prophylactic treatment of headaches, particularly
migraine or cluster headaches. Moreover, the compounds of general formula I
also have a positive effect on the following diseases: complex regional pain
syndrome, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus ("NIDDM"), cardiovascular
diseases, morphine tolerance, diarrhoea caused by clostridium toxin, skin

52 Case 1 /1308

diseases, particularly thermal and radiation-induced skin damage including
sunburn, inflammatory diseases, e.g. inflammatory diseases of the joints
(arthritis), neurogenic inflammation of the oral mucosa, inflammatory lung
diseases, allergic rhinitis, asthma, diseases accompanied by excessive
vasodilatation and consequent reduced circulation of blood through the
tissues, e.g. shock and sepsis. In addition, the compounds according to the
invention have a general pain-relieving effect. The symptoms of menopausal
hot flushes caused by vasodilatation and increased blood flow in oestrogen-
deficient women and hormone-treated patients with prostate carcinoma are
favourably affected by the CGRP-antagonists of the present application in a
preventive and acute-therapeutic capacity, this therapeutic approach being
distinguished from hormone replacement by the absence of side effects.
The dosage required to achieve a corresponding effect is conveniently 0.0001
to 3 mglkg of body weight, preferably 0.01 to 1 mg/kg of body weight, when
administered intravenously or subcutaneously and 0.01 to 10 mg/kg of body
weight, preferably 0.1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight when administered orally,
nasally or by inhalation, 1 to 3 x a day in each case.
If the treatment with CGRP antagonists and/or CGRP release inhibitors is
given as a supplement to conventional hormone substitution, it is advisable to
reduce the doses specified above, in which case the dosage may be from 1/5
of the lower limits mentioned above up to 1/1 of the upper limits specified.
The compounds prepared according to the invention may be administered
either on their own or optionally in combination with other active substances
for the treatment of migraine by intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular,
intrarectal, intranasal route, by inhalation, transdermally or orally, while
aerosol formulations are particularly suitable for inhalation. The
combinations
may be administered either simultaneously or sequentially.
Categories of active substance which may be used in the combination include

mild analgesics, non-steroidal antiinflammatories, corticosteroids, calcium
antagonists, 5-HT1 g/1 D agonists or other anti-migraine agents, which may be
formulated together with one or more inert conventional carriers and/or
diluents, e.g. with corn starch, lactose, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose,
magnesium stearate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid, water,
water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol, water/polyethylene glycol,
propylene glycol, cetylstearyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose or fatty
substances such as hard fat or suitable mixtures thereof, into conventional
galenic preparations such as plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders,
suspensions, solutions, metered dose aerosols or suppositories.

The dosage of these active substances is expediently 1/5 of the lowest
recommended dose to 1/1 of the normally recommended dose, i.e. for
example 20 to 100 mg of sumatriptan.
The invention further relates to the use of the compounds of general formula I
as valuable adjuvants for the production and purification (by affinity
chromatography) of antibodies as well as in RIA and ELISA assays, after
suitable radioactive labelling, for example by direct labelling with '251
or'3'I or
by tritiation of suitable precursors, for example by replacing halogen atoms
with tritium, and as a diagnostic or analytical adjuvant in neurotransmitter
research.
The Examples which follow are intended to illustrate the invention:
Preliminary remarks:
As a rule, melting points, IR, UV,'H-NMR and/or mass spectra have been
obtained for the compounds prepared. Unless otherwise stated, Rf values
were obtained using ready- made silica gel TLC plates 60 F2sa (E. Merck,
Darmstadt, Item no. 1.05714) without chamber saturation. The Rf values
obtained under the name Alox were obtained using ready-made aluminium
oxide 60 F2sa TLC plates (E. Merck, Darmstadt, item no. 1.05713) without
chamber saturation. The ratios given for the eluants relate to units by volume
of the solvent in question. For chromatographic purification, silica gel made
by Millipore (MATREXT"", 35-70 my) was used. If no detailed information is
given as to the configuration, it is not clear whether it is a pure enantiomer
or
whether partial or even complete racemisation has occurred.
