AZOLO TRIAZINES AND PYRIMIDINES

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

= This invention zelates a treatment of
psychiatric disorders and neurological diseases
inr-luding major depression, anxiety-related
disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder,
supranuclear palsy and feeding disorders as well as
treatment of immunological, cardiovascular or heart-
related diseases and colonic hypersensitivity
associated with psychopathological disturbance and
. 15 stress, by administration of certain [1,5-a]-
pyrazolo-1,3,5-triazines, (1,5-a]-1,2,3-triazolo-
1,3,5-triazines, (1,5-a]-pyrazolo-pyrimidines and
[1,5-a]-1,2,3-triazolo-pyrimidines.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Corticotropin releasing factor (herein referred
to as CRF), a 41 amino acid peptide, is the primary
physiological regulator of proopiomelanocortin(POMC)
-derived peptide secretion from the anterior
pituitary gland (J. Rivier et al., Proc. Nat. Acad.
= Sci. (USA) 80:4851 (1983); W. Vale et al., Science
213:1394 (1981)]. In addition to its endocrine role
at the pituitary gland, immunohistochemical
localization of CRF has demonstrated that the hormone
has a broad extrahypothalamic distribution in the
central nervous system and produces a wide spectrum
of autonomic, electrophysiological and behavioral
effects consistent with a neurotransmitter or
neuromodulator role in brain (W. Vale et al., Rec.
Prog. Horm. Res. 39:245 (1983); G.F. Koob, Persp.
Behav. Med. 2:39 (1985); E.B. De Souza et al., J.

~ .
WO 98/03510 PCT/US97/13072

Neurosci. 5:3189 (1985)). There is also evidence
that CRF plays a significant role in integrating the
response of the immune system to physiological,
psychological, and immunological stressors [J.E.
Blalock, Physiological Reviews 69:1 (1989); J.E.
Morley, Life Sci. 41 : 527 (1987)).
Clinical data provide evidence that CRF has a
role in psychiatric disorders and neurological
diseases including depression, anxiety-related
disorders and feeding disorders. A role for CRF has
also been postulated in the etiology and
pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's
disease, Huntington's disease, progressive
supranuclear palsy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
as they relate to the dysfunction of CRF neurons in =
the central nervous system [for review see E.B. De
Souza, Hosp. Practice 23:59 (1988)].
In affective disorder, or major depression, the
concentration of CRF is significantly increased in
the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of drug-free
individuals [C.B. Nemeroff et al., Science 226:1342
(1984); C.M. Banki et al., Am. J. Psychiatry 144:873
(1987); R.D. France et al., Biol. Psychiatry 28:86
(1988); M. Arato et al., Bio1 Psychiatry 25:355
(1989)]. Furthermore, the density of CRF receptors
is significantly decreased in the frontal cortex of =
suicide victims, consistent with a hypersecretion of
CRF [C.B. Nemeroff et al., Arch. Gen. Psychiatry
45:577 (1988)]. In addition, there is a blunted
adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) response to CRF (i.v.
administered) observed in depressed patients [P.W.
Gold et al., Am J. Psychiatry 141:619 (1984); F.
Holsboer et al., Psychoneuroendocrinology 9:147
(1984); P.W. Gold et al., New Eng. J. Med. 314:1129
(1986)]. Preclinical studies in rats and non-human
primates provide additional support for the

-2-

_..

= WO 98/03510 PCT/US97/13072
hypothesis that hypersecretion of CRF may be involved
in the symptoms seen in human depression [R.M.
Sapolsky, Arch. Gen. Psychiatry 46:1047 (1989)].
There is preliminary evidence that tricyclic
antidepressants can alter CRF levels and thus
modulate the numbers of CRF receptors in brain
[Grigoriadis et al., Nevropsychopharmacology 2:53
(1989) ] =
There has also been a role postulated for CRF in
the etiology of anxiety-related disorders. CRF
produces anxiogenic effects in animals and
interactions between benzodiazepine / non-
benzodiazepine anxiolytics and CRF have been
demonstrated in a variety of behavioral anxiety
models [D.R. Britton et al., Life Sci. 31:363 (1982);
= C.W. Berridge and A.J. Dunn Regul. Peptides 16:83
(1986)). Preliminary studies using the putative CRF
receptor antagonist a-helical ovine CRF (9-41) in a
variety of behavioral paradigms demonstrate that the
antagonist produces "anxiolytic-like" effects that
are qualitatively similar to the benzodiazepines
(C.W. Berridge and A.J. Dunn Horm. Behav. 21:393
(1987), Brain Research Reviews 15:71 (1990)].
Neurochemical, endocrine and receptor binding studies
have all demonstrated interactions between CRF and
benzodiazepine anxiolytics providing further evidence
= for the involvement of CRF in these disorders.
Chlordiazepoxide attenuates the "anxiogenic" effects
of CRF in both the conflict test (K.T. Britton et
al., Psychopharmacology 86:170 (1985); K.T. Britton
et al., Psychopharmacology 94:306 (1988)] and in the
acoustic startle test [N.R. Swerdlow et al.,
Psychopharmacology 88:147 (1986)] in rats. The
benzodiazepine receptor antagonist (Ro15-1788), which
was without behavioral activity alone in the operant
conflict test, reversed the effects of CRF in a dose-
-3-


CA 02532925 2008-10-21

dependent manner while the benzodia2epine inverse
agonist (FG7142) enhanced the actions of CRF (K.T.
Britton et al., Psychopharmacology 94:306 (1988)).
The mechanisms and sites of action through which
the standard anxiolytics and antidepressants produce
their therapeutic effects remain to be elucidated.
It has been hypothesized however, that they are
involved in the suppression of the CRF hypersecretion
tha: is observed in these disorders. Of particular
interest is that preliminary studies examining the
effects of a CRF receptor antagonist (a - h elical
CRF9-41) in a variety of behavioral -paradigms have
demonstrated that the CRF antagonist produces
"anxiolytic-like" effects qualitatively similar to
the ber.zodiazepines [for review see G.F. Koob and
K.T. Britton, in: Corticotropin-Releasing Factor:
Basic and Clinical Studies of a Neuropeptide, E.B. De
Souza and C.B. Nemeroff eds., CRC Press p221 (1990)].
Several publications describe corticotropin
releasing factor antagonist compounds and their use
to treat psychiatric disorders and neurological
diseases. Examples of such publications include

Insofar as is known, (1,5-a)-pyrazolo-
1,3,5-triazines, (1,5-a)-1,2,3-triazolo-1,3,5-
triazines, (1,5-a)-pyrazolo-pyrimidines and (1,5-a)-
1,2,3-triazolo-pyrirnidines, have not been previously
reported as corticotropin releasing factor antagonist
compounds useful in the treatment of psychiatric
disorders and neurological diseases. However, there
have been publications which teach some of these
compounds for other uses.

"Prodrugs" are considered to be any covalently
bonded carriers which release the active parent drug
of formula (I) or (II) in vivo when such prodrug is
administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of the
compounds of formula (I) and (II) are prepared by
modifying functional groups present in the compounds
in such a way that the modifications are cleaved,
e her in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the
parent compounds. Prodrugs include compounds wherein
hydroxy, amine, or sulfhydryl groups are bonded to
any group that, when administered to a mammalian
subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxyl, amino, or
sulfhydryl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs
include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and
benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional
groups in the compounds 'of formulas (I) and (II); and
the like.
The term "therapeutically effective amount" of a

CRF-R1 Receptor Binding Assay for the Evaluation of
Biological Activity

The following is a description of the
isolation of cell membranes containing cloned human CRF-
R1 receptors for use in the standard binding assay as =
well as a description of the assay itself.
Messenger RNA was isolated from human hippocampus.
The mRNA was reverse transcribed using oligo (dt) 12-18
and the-coding region was amplified by PCR from start to
stop codons The resulting PCR fragment was cloned into
the EcoRV site of pGEMV, from whence the insert was
reclaimed using XhoI + XbaI and cloned into the XhoI +
XbaI sites of vector pm3ar ( which contains a CMV
promoter, the SV40 't' splice and early poly A signals,
an Epstein-Barr viral origin of replication, and a

hygromycin selectable marker). The resulting expression
vector, called phchCRFR was transfected in 293EBNA cells
and cells retaining the episome were selected in the
presence of 400 M hygromycin. Cells surviving 4 weeks
of selection in hygromycin were pooled, adapted to
growth in suspension and used to generate membranes for
the binding assay described below. Individual aliquots
containing approximately 1 x 108 of the suspended cells
were then centrifuged to form a pellet and frozen.
For the binding assay a frozen pellet described
above containing 293EBNA cells transfected with hCRFR1
receptors is homogenized in 10 ml of ice cold tissue
buffer ( 50 mM HEPES buffer pH 7.0, containing 10 mM
MgC12, 2 mM EGTA, 1 4g/1 aprotinin, 1 g/ml leupeptin
= 15 and 1 g/ml pepstatin). The homogenate is centrifuged
at 40,000 x g for 12 min and the resulting pellet
rehomogenized in 10 ml of tissue buffer. After another
centrifugation at 40,000=x g for 12 min, the pellet is
resuspended to a protein concentration of 360 g/ml to

be used in the assay.
Binding assays are performed in 96 well plates;
each well having a 300 l capacity. To each well is
added 50 l of test drug dilutions (final concentration
of drugs range from 10-10 - 10-5 M), 100 }ll of 125I-
ovine-CRF (1251-o-CRF) (final concentration 150 pM) and
= 150 l of the cell homogenate described above. Plates
are then allowed to incubate at room temperature for 2
hours before filtering the incubate over GF/F filters
(presoaked with 0.3% polyethyleneimine) using an
appropriate cell harvester. Filters are rinsed 2 times
with ice cold assay buffer before removing individual
filters and assessing them for radioactivity on a gamma
counter.
Curves of the inhibition of 125I-o-CRF binding to
cell membranes at various dilutions of test drug are
analyzed by the iterative curve fitting program LIGAND

are then used to assess biological activity.
A compound is considered to be active if it has
a Ki value of less than about 10000 nM for the
inhibition of CRF.

Inhibition of CRF-Stimulated Adenyla P yclaSe
Activity
Inhibition of CRF-stimulated.adenylate cyclase
activity can be performed as described by G.
Battaglia et al. Synapse 1:572 (1987). Briefly,
assays are carried out at 37 C for 10 min in 200 ml
of buffer containing 100 mM Tris-HC1 (pH 7.4 at 37
C), 10 mM MgC12, 0.4 mM EGTA, 0.1% BSA, 1 mM
isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), 250 units/ml
phosphocreatine kinase, 5 mM creatine phosphate, 100
mM guanosine 5'-triphosphate, 100 nM oCRF, antagonist
peptides (concentration range 10-9 to 10-6m) and 0.8
mg original wet weight tissue (approximately 40-60 mg
protein). Reactions are initiated by the addition of
1 mM ATP/32PJATP (approximately 2-4 mCi/tube) and
terminated by the addition of 100 ml of 50 mM Tris-
HCL, 45 mM ATP and 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate. In
order to monitor the recovery of cAMP, 1 l of
[3H]cAMP (approximately 40,000 dpm) is added to each =
tube prior to separation. The separation of
[32P]cAMP from [32P]ATP is performed by sequential
elution over Dowex and alumina columns.

Acoustic Startle Assay, the Stair Climbing Test, and
the Chronic Administration Assay. These and other
models useful for the testing of compounds of the
present invention have been outlined in C.W. Berridge
and A.J. Dunn Brain Research Reviews 15:71 (1990).
Compounds may be tested in any species of rodent or
small mammal.

Compounds of this invention have utility in the
treatment of inbalances associated.with abnormal
levels of corticotropin releasing factor in patients
suffering from depression, affective disorders,
and/or anxiety.
Compounds of this invention can be administered
= 15 to treat these abnormalities by means that produce
contact of the active agent with the agent's site of
action in the body of a mammal. The compounds can be
administered by any conventional means available for
use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals either as
individual therapeutic agent or in combination of
therapeutic agents. They can be administered alone,
but will generally be administered with a
pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the
chosen route of administration and standard
pharmaceutical practice.
The dosage administered will vary depending on
the use and known factors such as pharmacodynamic
character of the particular agent, and its mode and
route of administration; the recipient's age, weight,
and health; nature and extent of symptoms; kind of
concurrent treatment; frequency of treatment; and
desired effect. For use in the treatment of said
