DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
This invention relates to a class of cyclic compounds, which are useful as tachykinin antagonists. More particularly, the compounds of the invention comprise a cyclohexyl ring system substituted by an arylmethyloxy or arylmethylthio moiety, phenyl and an optionally substituted amino group.
The tachykinins are a group of naturally-occurring peptides found widely distributed throughout mammalian tissues, both within the central nervous system and in the peripheral nervous and circulatory systems. The three known mammalian tachykinins are: substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B:
Evidence for the usefulness of tachykinin receptor antagonists in pain, headache, especially migraine, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, attenuation of morphine withdrawal, cardivascular changes, oedema, such as oedema caused by thermal injury, chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma/bronchial hyperreactivity and other respiratory diseases including allergic rhinitus, inflammatory diseases of the gut including ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease, ocular injury and ocular inflammatory diseases, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, irritable bowel syndrome and disorders of bladder function including cystitis and bladder detruser hyper-reflexia is reviewed in "Tachykinin Receptors and Tachykinin Receptor Antagonists", C. A. Maggi, R. Patacchini, P. Rovero and A. Giachetti, J. Auton. Pharmacol. (1993) 13, 23-93. Tachykinin antagonists are also believed to be useful in allergic conditions [Hamelet et al Can. J. Pharmacol. Physiol. (1988) 66 1361-7], immunoregulation [Lotz et al Science (1988) 241 1218-21 and Kimball et al, J. Immunol. (1988) 141 (10) 3564-9], and as anticonvulsants [Garant et al., Brain Research (1986) 382 372-8]. Tachykinin antagonists may also be useful in the treatment of small cell carcinomas, in particular small cell lung cancer (SCLC) [Langdon et al., Cancer Research (1992) 52, 4554-7].
It has furthermore been suggested that tachykinins have utility in the following disorders: depression, dysthymic disorders, chronic obstructive airways disease, hypersensitivity disorders such as poison ivy, vasospastic diseases such as angina and Reynauld's disease, fibrosing and collagen diseases such as scleroderma and eosinophillic fascioliasis, reflex sympathetic dystrophy such as shoulder/hand syndrome, addiction disorders such as alcoholism, stress related somatic disorders, neuropathy, neuralgia, disorders related to immune enhancement or suppression such as systemic lupus erythmatosis (European patent application no. 0 436 334), conjuctivitis, vernal conjunctivitis, contact dermatitis, atropic dermatitis, urticaria, and other eczematoid dermatitis (European patent application no. 0 394 989) and emesis (European patent application no. 0 533 280).
We have now found a class of non-peptides which are potent antagonists of tachykinin.
European patent application no. 0 436 334 discloses 4- to 7-membered azacyclic compounds substituted at the 3-position by a benzyl substituted amino moiety and at the 2-position by an aryl moiety. The compounds are said to be tachykinin antagonists.
The present invention provides a compound of formula (I), or a salt or prodrug thereof: ##STR2## wherein X represents O or S; selected from C.sub.1-6 alkyl, C.sub.2-6 alkenyl, C.sub.2-6 alkynyl, halo, cyano, nitro, trifluoromethyl, trimethylsilyl, --OR.sup.a, SR.sup.a, SOR.sup.a, SO.sub.2 R.sup.a, --NR.sup.a R.sup.b, --NR.sup.a COR.sup.b, --NR.sup.a CO.sub.2 R.sup.b, --CO.sub.2 R.sup.a or --CONR.sup.a R.sup.b ; C.sub.1-6 alkoxy, halo or trifluoromethyl; R.sup.a or C.sub.1-6 alkyl optionally substituted by a group selected from (CO.sub.2 R.sup.a, CONR.sup.a R.sup.b, hydroxy, cyano, COR.sup.a, NR.sup.a R.sup.b, and phenyl optionally substituted by C.sub.1-6 alkyl, C.sub.1-6 alkoxy, halo or trifluoromethyl); optionally substituted by 1, 2 or 3 groups selected from C.sub.1-6 alkyl, C.sub.2-6 alkenyl, C.sub.2-6 alkynyl, halo, cyano, nitro, trifluoromethyl, trimethylsilyl, --OR.sup.a, SR.sup.a, SOR.sup.a, SO.sub.2 R.sup.a, --
