Address for Service is: PHILLIPS ORKONDE FITZPATRICK Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys 367 Collitis Street Melbourne 3000 AUSTRALIA Complete Specification for the invention entitled: 1,4-DISJBSTIT’ITD-PIPERIDINYL CCOIPCONDS Our Ref 120120 POF Code: 1432/1432 The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the beat method of performing it known to applicant(s): 6003q/1 1 1,4-Disubstituted-Piperidinyl Compounds The present invention relates to 1,4-disubstitutedpiperidinyl compounds which are useful as analgesics and muscle relaxants. Another aspect of the invention relates «0 .0 5 to methods for relieving pain. A further aspect of the present invention relates to methods for relieving muscle S, sa’asms.
0 0 o e o o Q A wide number of compounds are currently available which possess therapeutic activity as analgesics. Unfortunately, most of the more potent analgesics are narcotics. Narcotics oO.o are potentially addictive and therefore are prone to abuse a 0 by susceptible individuals.
There are also a large number of compounds available S° which are capable of relieving muscle spasms. Most of these compounds have undesirable side effects such as sedation and impairment of motor skills.
S
o Thus, it would be a valuable contribution to the art to develop potent analgesics which are non-narcotic and therefore devoid of abuse potential.
It would also be a valuable contribution to the art to develop muscle relaxants which do not sedate the patient or impair his motor skills. In accordance with the present M01305A -1Ainvention a new class of analgesics and muscle relaxants have been discovered. These compounds may be represented by the formulae: R I -CHOH-CH 2 -N -CHOH- FORMULA I A CO-CH 2 -N X A FORMULA II 0 0 o0\, wherein: a) in Formula I, each R and R’ is independently selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, hydrogen and halogen; and, b) in Formula II, X is represented by either a carbonyl group or a hydroxymethylene group; A’ is at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of halogen, O lower alkyl, and lower alkoxy; and, A is selected from the oO* group consisting of halogen, hydrogen, lower alkyl, and 15 lower alkoxy; with the proviso that when X is a carbonyl 400000 S group, A’ is not a halogen when A is a lower alkyl or lower alkoxy.
o° Additionally, it has been discovered that the following o known compounds have utility as analgesics and as muscle relaxants: M01305A -2i ^Q CO-CH 2 -N X A FORMULA III -CHOH-CH2-NB FORMULA IV wherein: na) in Formula III, X is represented by a carbonyl group o 5 or a hydroxymethylene group; and A is selected from the o o group consisting of halogen, hydrogen, lower alkyl, and Q 0 So lower alkoxy; and, So b) in Formula IV, each B and B’ are independently o 0* selected from the group consisting of halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, and hydrogen; with the proviso that B’ and B o.o are not both halogens.
Thus, the compounds of the present invention which possess therapeutic utility as analgesics or muscle relaxants may be conveniently represented by the following generic formula:
D
D -Z-CH2-N y FORMULA V wherein: Y is represented by a hydroxymethylene group or a carbonyl group; Z is represented by a hydroxymethylene group or a carbonyl group; each D and D’ are independently selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, M01305A -3o 0 a o 0 3 *0 o 3 0 0 e s Ii
B
a halogen and hydrogen; with the following provisos: i) that when Y and Z are both represented by carbonyl groups, then D is not a lower alkyl or lower alkoxy when D’ is a halogen; and, ii) that when Y is represented by a carbonyl group and Z is represented by a hydroxymethylene group, then D and D’ are not both halogens.
As used in this application: a) the term hydroxymethylene group refers to a structure corresponding to, -CHOH-; b) the term carbonyl group refers to a structure corresponding to -CO-; c) the term halogen refers to a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom; d) the term lower alkyl group refers to a branched or straight chain alkyl group containing from 1-4 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl and isobutyl; and, e) the term lower alkoxy group refers to a straight or branched alkoxy group containing from 1-4 carbon atoms, such 20 as methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy and isobutoxy.
The expression «pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts» is intended to apply to any non-toxic organic or inorganic acid addition salt of the base compounds represented by Formulae I-V. Illustrative inorganic acids which form suitable salts include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric and phosphoric acid and acid metal salts such as sodium monohydrogen orthophosphate and potassium hydrogen sulfate. Illustrative organic acids which form suitable salts include the mono-, di- and tricarboxylic acids.
Illustrative of such acids are, for example, acetic, glycolic, lactic, pyruvic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, fumaric, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, benzoic, hydroxybenzoic, phenylacetic, cinnamii, salicylic, 2-phenoxybenzoic and sulfonic acids 0 o M01305A -4such as methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and 2hydroxyethane sulfonic acid.
Some of the compounds of Formulae I-V contain asymmetric centers. Any reference in this application to one of the compounds represented by Formulae I-V is meant to encompass either a specific optical isomer or a mixture of enantiomers or diasteriomers. The specific optical isomers can be separated and recovered by techniques known in the art such as chromatography on chiral stationary phases or resolution via chiral salt formation and subsequent separation by selective crystallization.
The specific optical isomers can also be resolved by the use of enantiospecific enzymes as is known in the art. For o’o example in those compounds containing an alcohol, the 0 15 alcohol is acylated with an acylating agent such as acetyl chloride, butyryl chloride, chloroacetyl chloride, or their equivalents. The compound containing the acylated alcohol is then contacted with a suitable enantiospecific enzyme thereby producing the desired stereoisomerically enriched alcohol via enzymatic hydrolysis. The desired alcohol can be separated from the complementary stereoisomerically enriched acylated alcohol by-product by chromatographic techniques as is known in the art. Examples of such enzymes include the fungal lipase Amano AP-12®, derived from Aspergillus niger and the fungal lipase derived from Candida cylindracea. The acylation is typically conducted in an organic solvent such as DMF. The enzymatic hydrolysis is typically conducted in an aqueous buffer with or without an organic solvent such as hexane, heptane, chloroform, ethyl ether and dichloromethane. The quantity of enzyme can vary widely as known to those skilled in the art.
An alternative method of resolving those compounds of Formulae I-V which contain an alcohol is by enzymatic esterification. The racemic alcohol containing compound of Formulae I-V is contacted with a suitable enantiospecific M01305A I I enzyme, such as one of those described above, in the presence of an esterifying agent such butyric acid, palmytic acid, lauric acid, ethyl acetate, or dichloroethyl butyrate.
The desired stereoisomerically enriched ester and the complementary stereoisomerically enriched alcohol by-product can be separated by conventional chromatographic techniques.
After the desired ester is separated, it can be subjected to a basic hydrolysis to produce the desired compound. The enzymatic esterification is also typically conducted in an organic solvent such as one of those described above. Other enantiospecific enzymes are known in the art. Some of these may also be suitable for either of the resolution techniques discussed above as known to those skilled in the art.

SEach of the phenyl rings contained within the compounds represented by Formulae I-V, may be substituted at up to three positions with the indicated chemical entities. These substitutions may be located at positions 2-6 of the phenyl ring. Each phenyl ring may be substituted with differing M01305A -6- !i II. -ulra~~para, chemical entities or a single chemical entity. Thus, for example, in Formula V, D can represent up to 3 substituents which may be the same or differing chemical entities which are located at any of positions 2-6 on the indicated ring.
It is also possible for the two phenyl rings contained within a compound to have differing substituents provided that the limitations of the provisos described above are followed.
If the phenyl rings are substituted, it is currently preferred for the substitutions to occur at either position 3 or 4 of the phenyl ring.

M01305A \r0 As noted supra, the compounds described by Formula V may be utilized as analgesics. The compounds possess a level of potency sufficient to inhibit the sensation of the severe levels of pain that are commonly associated with conditions such as metastatic carcinoma, myocardial infarctions or traumatic injuries.
Despite this high level of potency, the compounds are non-narcotic. This means that they are devoid of the abuse potential that accompanies most analgesics.
One manner of demonstrating the analgesic utility of these compounds is to conduct the following test protocol.
From 5 to 10 mice, should be administered from 0.1 to 200 mg/kg of the compound either subcutaneously or intragas- Si o trically. Thirty minutes after the administration of the test compound, the mice should be admin. tered 0.4 ml of a 0.25% v/v solution of acetid acid intraperitoneally.
Five minutes after the administration of the acetic acid, the mice should be observed for signs of squirming and writhing which is indicative of pain.
15 A compound is considered to posses significant analgesic activity if the mice which are administered said compound do not exhibit signs of pain during the test squirming «and writhing).
04 4 One manner of demonstrating the non-narcotic properties of these compounds is the following test protocol.
Three mice should be administered up to 800 mg/kg of the desired compound subcutaneously. Thirty minutes later the mice should be placed upon a hot plate which has been heated to a temperature of 55 0
C.
A compound is considered to be non-narcotic if the mice M01305A -16-
A
jump within the first 20 seconds of when they are initially placed upon the hot plate.
One manner of demonstrating the utility of these compounds as muscle relaxants, is by their ability to antagonize the sustained contraction of the sacrococcygeus dorsalis muscle in mice, which the administration of morphine typically causes (Straub Tail Test). This may be demonstrated in the following manner.
From 5 to 10 mice should be administered from 0.1 to 200 mg/kg of the compound. Thirty minutes later the mice should be administered 60 mg/kg of morphine subcutaneously.
The mice should be observed for 30 minutes after the administration of the morphine in order to determine whether the test compound has blocked the ability of morphine to cause the sustained contraction of the sacrococcygeus dorsalis muscle in the mice. Contraction of this muscle causes the tails of the mice to be elevated at an angle of at least 900. Thus if a compound is a muscle relaxant, the tails of the mice will not be elevated.
S 20 One manner of demonstrating that the compounds of the present invention do not impair motor skills or cause sedation is the following test protocol.
0 o* iMice are initially screened for use in the test by placing them on a horizontal rod which is rotating at rpm. Those mice which fall off during a 120 second interval are excluded from further testing. The mice satisfying the criterion described above are then administered up to 800 mg/kg either subcutaneously or intragastrically of the test compound.
Thirty minutes later the mice are placed back upon the rotating horizontal bar and observed for 90 seconds.
M01305A -17- In order to determine if the compound is non-sedative and does not impair motor skills, it is necessary to interpret the results of this test in light of the ED 50 obtained in the Straub Tail test noted supra. A compound is considered to be non-sedative and to not impair motor skills, if the ratio between the dose at which approximately one-half of the mice fall off the rotating rod and the dose at which approximately one-half of the mice did not experience morphine induced contraction of the sacrococcygeus dorsalis muscle is about 2:1 or greater.
The compounds of the present invention may be administered by a variety of routes. They are effective if administered orally. The compounds may also be administered parenterally subcutaneously, intravenously, intrai 15 muscularly, or intraperitoneally).
It is currently preferred that the compounds are administered parenterally. The quantity of the compound administered will vary depending on the patient, the mode of administration, and the severity of the condition that is being treated. Repetitive daily administration of the Scompounds may be desired and will vary with patient condition and mode of administration.
.O Although the dosage required will vary from patient to patient, it is generally preferred that the compounds of the present invention be administered within a dosage range of from 0.1-200 mg/kg of patient body weight/day whether being administered orally or parenterally. This dosage range is applicable whether the compounds are being utilized as an analgesic or as a muscle relaxant.
As used in this application, the term patient refers to a warm-blooded animal. Thus, the compounds are effective for the relief of pain and muscle spasms in birds, such as chickens and turkeys, or mammals, such as humans, primates, M01305A -18i I sheep, horses, cattle, pigs, dogs, cats, rats, and mice, etc.
For oral administration, the compounds can be formulated into solid or liquid preparations such as capsules, pills, tablets, lozenges, melts, powders, suspensions, or emulsions. Solid unit dosage forms can be capsules of the ordinary gelatin type containing, for example, surfactants, lubricants and inert fillers such as lactose, sucrose, and cornstarch or they can be sustained release preparations.
In another embodiment, the compounds of Formulae I-V can be tableted with conventional tablet bases such as lactose, sucrose, and cornstarch in combination with binders, such as acacia, cornstarch, or gelatin, disiategrating agents such as potato starch or algenic acid, and a lubricant such as stearic acid or magnesium stearate. Liquid preparations are prepared by dissolving the active ingredient in an aqueous or non-aqueous pharmaceutically acceptable solvent which may also contain suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, and preservative agents as are known in the art.
o 25 For parenteral administration, the compounds may be dissolved il a physiologically acceptable pharmaceutical carrier and administered as either a solution or a suspension. Illustrative of suitable pharmaceutical carriers are water, saline, dextrose solutions, fructose solutions, ethanol, or oils of animal, vegetative, or synthetic origin.
The pharmaceutical carrier may also contain preservatives, buffers, etc., as are known in the art.
The following examples are presented in order to further illustrate the present invention. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any manner.
