ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to benzocycloalkylenylamine derivatives, associated pharmaceutically acceptable salts, or hydrates thereof, and associated pharmaceutical compositions and methods for use as selective muscarinic receptor antagonists.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Acetylcholine (Ach) is the principal transmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system. The physiological actions of Ach are mediated by activation of either nicotinic or muscarinic receptors. Both of these receptor classes are heterogeneous: e.g., the muscarinic receptor family comprises five subtypes (M
1
, M
2
, M
3
, M
4
, and M
5
) each encoded by distinct genes and possessing unique pharmacology and distribution.
Almost all smooth muscle tissues express both muscarinic M2 and M3 receptors, both of which have a functional role. M2 receptors outnumber M3 receptors by a proportion of approximately 4 to 1. Generally, M3 receptors mediate the direct contractile effects of acetylcholine in the vast majority of smooth muscle tissues. M2 receptors, on the other hand, cause smooth muscle contraction indirectly by inhibiting sympathetically (&bgr;-adrenoreceptor)-mediated relaxation.
Compounds that act as antagonists of muscarinic receptors have been used to treat several disease states associated with improper smooth muscle function, as well as in the treatment of cognitive and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Until recently, most of these compounds have been non-selective for the various muscarinic receptor subtypes, leading to unpleasant anti-cholinergic side-effects such as dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, or tachycardia. The most common of these side-effects is dry-mouth resulting from muscarinic receptor blockade in the salivary gland. Recently developed M2 and/or M3 specific antagonists have been shown to have reduced side effects. Evidence suggests that blockade of M2 and/or M3 receptors over M5 receptor could be therapeutically effective in the treatment of disease states associated with smooth muscle disorders.
Additionally, muscarinic receptor antagonists are front-line therapy as bronchodilators in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is thought that the efficacy of this class of molecules is mediated through antagonism of the natural transmitter (acetylcholine) at M3 receptors on airway smooth muscle and there may be additional benefit in COPD through inhibition of mucus secretion which may also be mediated through M3 receptors. The current standard antimuscarinic for the treatment of COPD is ipratropium (Atrovent) which is administered by aerosol 4 times per day. More recently tiotropium (Spiriva) has been developed by Boehringer-Ingelheim as a second-generation muscarinic antagonist and is expected to be launched in 2002 (in collaboration with Pfizer). Tiotropium is also given by aerosol but has a slow off-rate from the M3 receptor and, as a result, causes a prolonged bronchodilatation. Tiotropium will be given once per day. Although tiotropium has high affinity for all muscarinic receptor subtypes, it is a quaternary ammonium compound which is poorly absorbed.
Few M2 and/or M3 selective antagonists have been developed. The present invention fills this need by providing these types of antagonists useful in the treatment of disease states associated with improper smooth muscle function and respiratory disorders.
