  • The carbamate-esters (Ib) may be prepared according to the method illustrated by scheme 2 below.
  • Figure US20100279998A1-20101104-C00006
  • According to scheme 2 the carbamate-ester of general formula (Ib) is obtained by reacting an amine of general formula (IV), in which B, n and o are as defined in the general formula (I) and PG represents a protective group such as a Boc, with a carbonate of general formula (V), in which V represents a hydrogen atom or a nitro group, R2 is as defined in the general formula (I) and R represents a methyl or ethyl group.

  • The carbonates of general formula (V) may be prepared according to any method described in the literature, by reaction for example of an alcohol of general formula HOCHR2COOR where R represents a methyl or ethyl group with phenyl chloroformate or 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine.
  • The compounds of general formulae (III) and (IV) and the amines of general formula R3NH2 are available commercially or are prepared according to methods which are described in the literature or which are known to the skilled person.

  • The compounds of the invention were subjected to pharmacological tests allowing determination of their inhibitory effect on the enzyme FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase).
  • The inhibitory activity was demonstrated in a radioenzymatic assay based on measuring the product of hydrolysis ([1-3H]ethanolamine) of anandamide [1-3H ethanolamine] by FAAH (Life Sciences (1995), 56, 1999-2005 and Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (1997), 283, 729-734). Accordingly, mouse brains (minus the cerebellum) are removed and stored at −80° C. Membrane homogenates are prepared at the time of use by homogenizing the tissues in a Polytron in a 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) containing 150 mM NaCl and 1 mM EDTA. The enzymatic reaction is subsequently conducted in 70 μl of buffer containing bovine serum albumin without fatty acids (1 mg/ml). In succession the test compounds, at various concentrations, anandamide [1-3H ethanolamine] (specific activity: 15-20 Ci/mmol) diluted to 10 μM with cold anandamide, and the membrane preparation (400 μg of frozen tissue per assay) are added. After 15 minutes at 25° C., the enzymatic reaction is terminated by adding 140 μl of chloroform/methanol (2:1). The mixture is stirred for 10 minutes and then centrifuged for 15 minutes at 3500 g. An aliquot (30 μl) of the aqueous phase containing the ethanolamine [1-3H] is counted by liquid scintillation.
  • Under these conditions the most active compounds of the invention exhibit IC50 values (concentration inhibiting by 50% the control enzymatic activity of FAAH) of between 0.001 and 1 μM.
  • Table 2 below presents the IC50 values of some compounds according to the invention.
  • TABLE 2
    Compound IC50
    25 0.225 μM
    77 0.049 μM
  • It is therefore apparent that the compounds according to the invention have an inhibitory activity on the FAAH enzyme.
  • The in vivo activity of the compounds of the invention was evaluated in an analgesia test.
  • Accordingly, intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of PBQ (phenylbenzoquinone, 2 mg/kg in a 0.9% sodium chloride solution containing 5% of ethanol) to male OF1 mice weighing 25 to 30 g causes abdominal stretches, on average 30 twists or contractions during the period from 5 to 15 minutes after injection. The test compounds are administered orally (p.o.) or intraperitoneally (i.p.) in suspension in Tween 80 at 0.5%, 60 minutes or 120 minutes before the administration of PBQ. Under these conditions the most potent compounds of the invention reduce by 35% to 70% the number of stretches induced by PBQ, within a dose range of between 1 and 30 mg/kg.
  • For example, compound 26 of the table reduces by 56% the number of stretches induced by PBQ, at a dose of 10 mg/kg p.o. at 120 minutes.
  • As discussed earlier, the enzyme FAAH (Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, (2000), 108, 107-121) catalyses the hydrolysis of endogenous derivatives of amides and of esters of various fatty acids such as N-arachidonoylethanolamine (anandamide), N-palmitoylethanolamine, N-oleoylethanolamine, oleamide or 2-arachidonoylglycerol. These derivatives exert various pharmacological activities by interacting, inter alia, with cannabinoid and vanilloid receptors.
  • The compounds of the invention block this degradation pathway and increase the tissue level of these endogenous substances. They can be used in this respect in the prevention and treatment of pathologies in which endogenous cannabinoids and/or any other substrates metabolized by the FAAH enzyme are involved.
  • The use of a compound of formula (I), in the base or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or solvate form, in the preparation of a medicament intended to treat the above-mentioned pathologies forms an integral part of the invention.
  • Another subject-matter of the invention is medicaments which comprise a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or solvate of the compound of formula (I). These medicaments are used in therapeutics, in particular in the treatment of the above-mentioned pathologies.
  • According to another of its aspects, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions including, as active principle, at least one compound according to the invention. These pharmaceutical compositions comprise an effective dose of a compound according to the invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or solvate of the said compound and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
  • The said excipients are chosen, depending on the pharmaceutical form and the method of administration desired, from the usual excipients which are known to a person skilled in the art such as those selected from the group comprising carbohydrates, cellulose and cellulose derivatives, starches, synthetic and natural polymers, sugars and sugar alcohols, gelatin, lipids, fats, lubricants and mixtures thereof.
  • In the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention for oral, sublingual, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, topical, local, intrathecal, intranasal, transdermal, pulmonary, ocular or rectal administration, the active principle of formula (I) above, or its salt, solvate or hydrate where appropriate, may be administered in a single-dose administration form, in a mixture with conventional pharmaceutical excipients, to animals and to humans for the prophylaxis or treatment of the above disorders or diseases.
  • The unit-dose administration forms which are appropriate include oral forms such as tablets, soft or hard gelatine capsules, powders, granules, chewing gums and oral solutions or suspensions, forms for sublingual, buccal, intratracheal, intraocular and intranasal administration, and for administration by inhalation, forms for subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous administration and forms for rectal or vaginal administration. For topical application the compounds according to the invention may be used in creams, ointments or lotions.
  • By way of example a single-dose administration form of a compound according to the invention in tablet form may comprise the following components:
  •
    A compound according to the invention 50.0 mg
    Mannitol 223.75 mg 
    Croscaramellose sodium  6.0 mg
    Maize starch 15.0 mg
    Hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose 2.25 mg
    Magnesium stearate  3.0 mg
  • The said single-dose forms contain a dose permitting daily administration of 0.01 to 20 mg of active principle per kg of body weight, depending on the pharmaceutical form.
  • There may be particular cases in which higher or lower dosages are appropriate; such dosages also belong to the invention. In accordance with customary practice, the dosage appropriate to each patient is determined by the doctor according to the mode of administration, the weight and the response of the said patient.
  • According to another of its aspects the invention also provides a method of treating the pathologies indicated above, which comprises administering an effective dose of a compound according to the invention, one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, a solvate or a hydrate of the said compound.
