ABSTRACT:

The present invention relates to novel arylsulphonamides and analogues, to processes for their preparation and to their use for the prophylaxis and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, in particular for the treatment of cerebral apoplexy, craniocerebral trauma, pain and spasticity.
&Dgr;
9
-Tetrahydrocannabinol (&Dgr;
9
-THC) and, to a small extent, also &Dgr;
8
-THC are the biologically active constituents in extracts of the plant Cannabis sativa (marihuana, hashish) and are responsible for the effects on the human central nervous system (CNS). Potential historical and contemporary therapeutic uses of cannabis preparations include, inter alia, analgesia, emesis, anorexia, glaucoma and mobility disorders.
Until now, two subtypes of cannabinoid receptors and a splice variant have been identified. The CB1 receptor (Nature 1990, 346, 561) and a splice variant CB1a (J. Biol. Chem. 1995, 270, 3726) are mainly localized in the central nervous system. The CB2 receptor was found mainly in peripheral tissue, in particular in leucocytes, spleen and macrophages (Eur. J. Biochem. 1995, 232, 54).
CB1 and CB2 receptors have seven transmembrane regions and belong to the family of G protein receptors. Both receptors are negatively coupled via G
1
/G
O
protein to adenylate cyclase and possibly negatively coupled to the presynaptic release of glutamate (J. Neurosci. 1996, 16, 4322). CB1 receptors are moreover positively coupled to potassium channels and also negatively coupled to N- and Q-type calcium channels.
Four classes of CB1 receptor agonists are known to date: classical cannabinoids, such as, for example, &Dgr;
9
-THC, non-classical cannabinoids, aminoalkylindoles and eicosanoids. The latter include the generally accepted endogenous CB1 receptor agonist anandamide.
It is additionally known that cerebral apoplexy is a consequence of a sudden circulatory disorder of a human brain region with subsequent functional losses, with corresponding neurological and/or psychological symptoms. The causes of cerebral apoplexy can lie in cerebral haemorrhages (e.g. after a vascular tear in hypertension, arteriosclerosis and appoplectic aneurysm) and ischaemias (e.g. due to a drop in blood pressure or embolism). The functional losses in the brain lead to a degeneration or destruction of brain cells (Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism 1981, 1, 155); Chem. Eng. News 1996 (May 13), 41; Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 1996, 17, 227). Craniocerebral trauma is understood as meaning covered and open cranial injuries with involvement of the brain.
