AS ORIGINALLY FILED
Substituted N-cyclohexyl imidazolinones having an
MCH-modulatory effect
The invention relates to substituted N-cyclohexylheterocycles and to the
physiologically
tolerated salts and physiologically functional derivatives thereof.
Compounds similar in their overall structure to the heteroatom-substituted
cyclohexylimidazolinones described herein and having a pharmacological effect
have been
described in the prior art. Thus, for example, WO 03/057220 describes
imidazolone
derivatives (cyclic urea derivatives) having 5-HT2~ receptor activity which
can be used for
the treatment of disorders of the central nervous system, such as depression
and anxiety,
and gastrointestinal complaints. These compounds each have an aromatic group
as
substituent on the central nitrogen atoms.
The non-prior-published application with earlier priority and the file number
DE 102 33 817.5 (WO 2004/11438) likewise relates to cyclic urea derivatives
each having
an aromatic group as substituent on the central nitrogen atoms, where one of
the aromatic
groups has at least one nitrogen-containing substituent. The aryl-substituted
cyclic urea
derivatives have an MCH-modulatory effect. The compounds are suitable for
example as
anorectic agents.
In addition, EP-A 0 503 548 and EP-A 0 587 134 describe similar compounds
having a
pharmacological effect. EP 0 503 548 and EP 0 587 134 relate to cyclic urea
derivatives
which have aggregation-inhibiting effects, to medicaments comprising these
compounds
and to processes for their preparation.
Compounds having an MCH-antagonistic effect for the treatment of obesity are
described
in the prior art (examples: WO 2001021577, WO 2003035624, WO 2002089729,

R53, R54,
R55, R56, R57, R58 and R59 may be both straight-chain, branched and/or
optionally
substituted by substituents such as aryl, heteroaryl, alkoxy or halogen. This
also applies if
the alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl radicals are part of another group, for example
part of an
alkoxy group (such as (Ci-C4)-alkoxy-(C,-C4)-alkyl)). Suitable halogens are
fluorine,
chlorine, bromine and iodine, preferably fluorine, chlorine and bromine,
particularly
preferably fluorine.
Examples of alkyl groups are: methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl,
heptyl and octyl.
Included therein are both the n isomers of these radicals and branched isomers
such as
isopropyl, isobutyl, isopentyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, neopentyl, 3,3-
dimethylbutyl etc.
Unless described otherwise, the term alkyl additionally includes alkyl
radicals which are
unsubstituted or optionally substituted by one or more further radicals, for
example 1, 2, 3
or 4 identical or different radicals such as aryl, heteroaryl, alkoxy or
halogen. It is
moreover possible for the additional substituents to occur in any position of
the alkyl
radical.
Cycloalkyl means for the purposes of the present application cycloalkyl and
cycloalkyl-
alkyl (alkyl which is substituted in turn by cycloalkyl, e.g.
cyclopropylmethyl), where
cycloalkyl has at least 3 carbon atoms. Examples of cycloalkyl radicals are:
cyclopropyl,
cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, cyclononyl and
cyclodecyl.
Optional possibilities are also polycyclic ring systems such as decalinyl,
norbornanyl,
bornanyl or adamantanyl. The cycloalkyl radicals may be unsubstituted or
optionally
substituted by one or more further radicals as listed above by way of example
for the alkyl
radicals.
Examples of alkenyl and alkynyl groups are: vinyl, 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl
(allyl),
2-butenyl, 2-methyl-2-propenyl, 3-methyl-2-butenyl, ethynyl, 1-propynyl, 2-
propynyl
(propargyl), 1-butynyl, 2-butynyl or 3-butynyl.
Cycloalkenyl means for the purposes of the present application cycloalkenyl
radicals and
cycloalkenyl-alkyl radicals (alkyl which is substituted by cycloalkenyl),
which comprise at


CA 02554233 2006-07-24
APD62599PC 13
least three carbon atoms. Examples of cycloalkenyl are: cyclopentenyl,
cyclohexenyl,
cycloheptenyl and cyclooctenyl.
The alkenyl radicals and cycloalkenyl radicals may have one to three
conjugated or
unconjugated double bonds (thus also alk-dienyl and alk-trienyl radicals),
preferably one
double bond in a straight or branched chain. The same applies to the triple
bonds in alkynyl
radicals. The alkenyl and alkynyl radicals may be unsubstituted or optionally
substituted by
one or more further radicals as listed above by way of example for the alkyl
radicals.
Aryl refers in the present invention to radicals derived from monocyclic or
bicyclic
aromatic compounds comprising no ring heteroatoms. Where aryl refers to
systems which
are not monocyclic, the saturated form (perhydroform) or the partially
unsaturated from
(for example the dihydroform or tetrahydroform) is also possible, where the
respective
forms are known and stable, for the second ring. The term aryl also includes
in the present
invention for example bicyclic radicals in which both rings are aromatic and
bicyclic
radicals in which only one ring is aromatic. Examples of aryl are: phenyl,
naphthyl,
indanyl, 1,2-dihydronaphthenyl, 1,4-dihydronaphthenyl, indenyl or
1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl. Aryl is particularly preferably phenyl or
naphthyl. The term
"aryl" thus means in particular a phenyl or naphthyl group.
Heteroaryl radicals mean radicals derived from monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic
compounds comprising ring heteroatoms, preferably N, O or S. Otherwise, the
statements
made about aryl radicals apply to heteroaryl radicals.
The aryl and heteroaryl radicals may be unsubstituted or substituted by one or
more further
radicals. Suitable further radicals are listed by way of example above for the
alkyl radicals.
The compounds of the formula I may comprise one or more centers of asymmetry.
The
compounds of the formula I may therefore be in the form of their racemates,
enantiomer-
enriched mixtures, pure enantiomers, diastereomers and diastereomer mixtures.
The
present invention includes all these isomeric forms of the compounds of the
formula I.
These isomeric forms can be obtained by known methods even if not expressly
described
in some cases.

Mono-, bi- or spirocyclic rings may be saturated, partially saturated or
unsaturated and also
bridged.
C=C means a group of the formula R'C=CR" in which R' and R" are independently
of one
another H, (C~-Cs)-alkyl, preferably H.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are, because their solubility in water is
greater than that
of the initial or basic compounds, particularly suitable for medical
applications. These salts
must have a pharmaceutically acceptable anion or cation. Suitable
pharmaceutically
acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of the invention are salts of
inorganic acids
such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic, phosphoric, metaphosphoric, nitric,
sulfonic and
sulfuric acid, and of organic acids such as, for example, acetic acid,
benzenesulfonic,
benzoic, citric, ethanesulfonic, fumaric, gluconic, glycolic, isethionic,
lactic, lactobionic,
malefic, malic, methanesulfonic, trifluoromethanesulfohic, succinic, p-
toluenesulfonic,
tartaric and trifluoroacetic acid. For medical purposes the chlorine salt is
particularly
preferably used. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable basic salts are ammonium
salts,
alkali metal salts (such as sodium and potassium salts), alkaline earth metal
salts (such as
magnesium and calcium salts) and salts of trometamol (2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-
1,3-propanediol), diethanolamine, lysine or ethylenediamine.
Salts with a pharmaceutically unacceptable anion likewise belong within the
framework of
the invention as useful intermediates for the preparation or purification of
pharmaceutically
acceptable salts andlor for use in nontherapeutic, for example in vitro,
applications.
The term "physiologically functional derivative" used herein refers to any
physiologically
tolerated derivative of a compound of the formula I of the invention, for
example an ester,
which on administration to a mammal such as, for example, a human is able to
form
(directly or indirectly) a compound of the formula I or an active metabolite
thereof.
Physiologically functional derivatives include prodrugs of the compounds of
the invention,
as described, for example, in H. Okada et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1994, 42, 57-
61. Such
prodrugs can be metabolized in vivo to a compound of the invention. These
prodrugs may
themselves be active or not.

Use
This invention further relates to the use of compounds of the formula I and
their
pharmaceutical compositions as MCH receptor ligands. The MCH receptor ligands
of the
invention are particularly suitable as modulators of the activity of the
MCH1R.
The role of MCH in regulating the energy balance has now been well documented
(Qu, D.
et al.; Nature 1996, 380, 243-7; Shimada, M. et al. Nature 1998, 396, 670-4;
Chen, Y et al.
Endocrinology 2002, 143, 2469-77; Endocrinology 2003, 144, 4831-40; Review: G.
Hervieu, Expert Opin. Ther. Targets 2003, 7, 495-511 ).
There are also indications that MCH antagonists can have a beneficial
influence on
centrally related disorders such as, for example, depression (Borowsky, B. et
al.; Nature
Medicine 2002, 8, 825-30; Review: G. Hervieu, Expert Opin. Ther. Targets 2003,
7, 495-
511).
Compounds of this type are particularly suitable for the treatment and/or
prevention of


CA 02554233 2006-07-24
APD62599PC
1. Obesity
2. Diabetes mellitus, especially type 2 diabetes, including the prevention of
the sequelae
associated therewith.
Particular aspects in this connection are
- hyperglycemia,
- improvement in insulin resistance,
- improvement in glucose tolerance,
1 U - protection of the pancreatic 13 cells
- prevention of macro- and microvascular disorders
3. Dyslipidemias and their sequelae such as, for example, atherosclerosis,

triglyceride
concentrations,
- low HDL cholesterol concentration
4. Various other conditions which may be associated with the metabolic
syndrome, such
as:
- thromboses, hypercoagulable and prothrombotic stages (arterial and venous)
- high blood pressure
- heart failure such as, for example (but not restricted thereto), following
myocardial
infarction, hypertensive heart disease or cardiomyopathy
5. Psychiatric indications such as
- depressions
- anxiety states
- disturbances of the circadian rhythm

Formulations
The amount of a compound of formula (I) necessary to achieve the desired
biological effect
depends on a number of factors, for example the specific compound chosen, the
intended
use, the mode of administration and the clinical condition of the patient. The
daily dose is
generally in the range from 0.001 mg to 100 mg, preferably 0.3 mg to 100 mg
(typically
from 0.01 mg to 50 mg, preferably 3 mg to 50 mg) per day and per kilogram of
bodyweight, for example 0.1-10 mg/kg/day, preferably 3-10 mg/kg.day. An
intravenous
dose may be, for example, in the range from 0.001 mg to 1.0 mg/kg, preferably
0.3 mg to
1.0 mg/kg, which can suitably be administered as infusion of 10 ng to 100 ng
per kilogram
and per minute. Suitable infusion solutions for these purposes may contain,
for example,
from 0.1 ng to 10 mg, typically from 1 ng to 10 mg, per milliliter. Single
doses may
contain, for example, from 1 mg to 10 g of the active ingredient. Single doses
may contain,
for example, from 1 mg to 10 g of the active ingredient. Thus, ampoules for
injections may
contain, for example, from 1 mg to 100 mg, and single-dose formulations which
can be
administered orally, such as, for example, tablets or capsules, may contain,
for example,
from 0.05 to 1000 mg, typically from 0.5 to 600 mg, or in a further embodiment
from 1.0
to 1000 mg, typically from 10 to 600 mg. In the case of pharmaceutically
acceptable salts,
the aforementioned weight data are based on the weight of the free compound
from which
the salt is derived. For the prophylaxis and therapy of the abovementioned
conditions, the
compounds of formula (I) may be used as the compound itself, but they are
preferably in
the form of a pharmaceutical composition with an acceptable carrier. The
carrier must, of
course, be acceptable in the sense that it is compatible with the other
ingredients of the
composition and is not harmful for the patient's health. The carrier may be a
solid or a
liquid or both and is preferably formulated with the compound as a single
dose, for
example as a tablet, which may contain from 0.05% to 95% by weight of the
active
ingredient. Other pharmaceutically active substances may likewise be present,
including
other compounds of formula (I). The pharmaceutical compositions of the
invention can be
produced by one of the known pharmaceutical methods, which essentially consist
of
mixing the ingredients with pharmacologically acceptable carriers and/or
excipients.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are those suitable for oral,
rectal, topical,
peroral (for example sublingual) and parenteral (for example subcutaneous,
intramuscular,
intradermal or intravenous) administration, although the most suitable mode of


CA 02554233 2006-07-24
APD62599PC 31
administration depends in each individual case on the nature and severity of
the condition
to be treated and on the nature of the compound of formula (I) used in each
case. Coated
formulations and coated slow-release formulations also belong within the
framework of the
invention. Preference is given to acid- and gastric juice-resistant
formulations. Suitable
_5 coatings resistant to gastric juice comprise cellulose acetate phthalate,
polyvinyl acetate
phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate and anionic polymers of
methacrylic
acid and methyl methacrylate.
Suitable pharmaceutical preparations for oral administration may be in the
form of separate
units such as, for example, capsules, cachets, suckable tablets or tablets,
each of which
contain a defined amount of the compound of formula (I); as powders or
granules; as
solution or suspension in an aqueous or nonaqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-
water or water-
in-oil emulsion. These compositions may, as already mentioned, be prepared by
any
suitable pharmaceutical method which includes a step in which the active
ingredient and
I S the carrier (which may consist of one or more additional ingredients) are
brought into
contact. The compositions are generally produced by uniform and homogeneous
mixing of
the active ingredient with a liquid and/or finely divided solid carrier, after
which the
product is shaped if necessary. Thus, for example, a tablet can be produced by
compressing
or molding a powder or granules of the compound, where appropriate with one or
more
additional ingredients. Compressed tablets can be produced by tableting the
compound in
free-flowing form such as, for example, a powder or granules, where
appropriate mixed
with a binder, glidant, inert diluent and/or one or more surface-
active/dispersing agents) in
a suitable machine. Molded tablets can be produced by molding the compound,
which is in
powder form and is moistened with an inert liquid diluent, in a suitable
machine.
Pharmaceutical compositions which are suitable for peroral (sublingual)
administration
comprise suckable tablets which contain a compound of formula (I) with a
flavoring,
normally sucrose and gum arabic or tragacanth, and pastilles which comprise
the
compound in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerol or sucrose and gum
arabic.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration comprise
preferably
sterile aqueous preparations of a compound of formula (I), which are
preferably isotonic
with the blood of the intended recipient. These preparations are preferably
administered
intravenously, although administration may also take place by subcutaneous,
intramuscular


CA 02554233 2006-07-24
APD62599PC 32
or intradermal injection. These preparations can preferably be produced by
mixing the
compound with water and making the resulting solution sterile and isotonic
with blood.
Injectable compositions of the invention generally contain from 0.1 to 5% by
weight of the
active compound.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for rectal administration are preferably
in the form of
single-dose suppositories. These can be produced by mixing a compound of the
formula (I)
with one or more conventional solid carriers, for example cocoa butter, and
shaping the
resulting mixture.
l0
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for topical use on the skin are
preferably in the form
of ointment, cream, lotion, paste, spray, aerosol or oil. Carriers which can
be used are
petrolatum, lanolin, polyethylene glycols, alcohols and combinations of two or
more of
these substances. The active ingredient is generally preseht in a
concentration of from 0.1
I S to 15% by weight of the composition, for example from 0.5 to 2%.
Transdermal administration is also possible. Pharmaceutical compositions
suitable for
transdermal uses can be in the form of single plasters which are suitable for
long-term
close contact with the patient's epidermis. Such plasters suitably contain the
active
20 ingredient in an aqueous solution which is buffered where appropriate,
dissolved and/or
dispersed in an adhesive or dispersed in a polymer. A suitable active
ingredient
concentration is about 1% to 35%, preferably about 3% to 15%. A particular
possibility is
for the active ingredient to be released by electrotransport or iontophoresis
as described,
for example, in Pharmaceutical Research, 2(6): 318 ( 1986).
The compounds of the formula I are distinguished by beneficial effects on
lipid
metabolism, and they are particularly suitable for weight reduction and for
maintaining a
reduced weight after weight reduction has taken place in mammals and as
anorectic agents.
The compounds are distinguished by their low toxicity and their few side
effects. The
compounds can be employed alone or in combination with other weight-reducing
or
anorectic active ingredients. Further anorectic active ingredients of this
type are mentioned,
for example, in the Rote Liste, chapter Ol under weight-reducing
agents/appetite
suppressants, and they also include active ingredients which increase the
energy turnover
of the organism and thus lead to weight reduction or else those which
influence the general


CA 02554233 2006-07-24
APD62599PC 33
metabolism of the organism in such a way that an increased calorie intake does
not lead to
an enlargement of the fat depots and a normal calorie intake leads to a
reduction of the fat
depots of the organism. The compounds are suitable for the prophylaxis and, in
particular,
for the treatment of excessive weight or obesity. The compounds are further
suitable for the
prophylaxis and, in particular, for the treatment of type II diabetes, of
arteriosclerosis and
for normalizing lipid metabolism and for the treatment of high blood pressure.
Combinations with other medicaments
In a further aspect of the invention the compounds of the formula I can be
administered
alone or in combination with one or more further pharmacologically active
substances
which have, for example, favorable effects on metabolic disturbances or
disorders
frequently associated therewith. Examples of such medicaments are
1. medicaments which lower blood glucose, antidiabetics,
2. active ingredients for the treatment of dyslipidemias,
3. antiatherosclerotic medicaments,
4. antiobesity agents,
5. antiinflammatory active ingredients
6. active ingredients for the treatment of malignant tumors
7. antithrombotic active ingredients
8. active ingredients for the treatment of high blood pressure
9. active ingredients for the treatment of heart failure and
10. active ingredients for the treatment and/or prevention of complications
caused by
diabetes or associated with diabetes.
They can be combined with the compounds of the invention of the formula I in
particular
for a synergistic improvement in the effect. Administration of the active
ingredient
combination can take place either by separate administration of the active
ingredients to the
patient or in the form of combination products in which a plurality of active
ingredients are
present in one pharmaceutical preparation.
Further particularly suitable pharmacologically active substances are:

It will be appreciated that every suitable combination of the compounds of the
invention
with one or more of the aforementioned compounds and optionally one or more
other
pharmacologically active substances is regarded as falling within the
protection conferred
by the present invention.
In two articles which appeared simultaneously in Nature (Nature 400, 261-264,
1999;
Nature 400, 265-269, 1999), two research groups separately described a highly
specific
receptor for melanin concentrating hormone (MCH). MCH assumes important
functions in
controlling food intake. Compounds which act on the MCH receptor therefore
have an
anorectic effect and are suitable for the treatment of obesity. Testing for an
anorectic effect
of the compounds of the invention of the formula I was therefore carried out
as follows.
Functional measurements to determine IC50 values
I 5 Cloning of the cDNA for the human MCH receptor, preparation of a
recombinant HEK293
cell line which expresses the human MCH receptor, and functional measurements
with the
recombinant cell line took place in analogy to the description by Audinot et
al. (J. Biol.
Chem. 276, 13554-13562, 2001). A difference from the reference was, however,
the use of
the plasmid pEAK8 from EDGE Biosystems (USA) for the construction of the
expression
vector. The host used for the transfection was a transformed HEK cell line
named "PEAK
Stable Cells" (likewise from EDGE Biosystems). Functional measurements of the
cellular
calcium flux after addition of agonist (MCH) in the presence of ligand of the
invention
took place with the aid of the FLIPR apparatus from Molecular Devices (USA),
using
protocols of the apparatus manufacturer.
Biological activity testing
The IC50 values measured for exemplary compounds 1, 2, 5 and 8 under the
aforementioned conditions were of the order of 0.01 to 2 ~M. Exemplary
compounds 3, 6
and 9 showed IC50 values of from 2 to 10 ~,M.
The examples and preparation methods detailed below serve to illustrate the
invention
