WO 2008/081399 PCT/IB2007/055326 2-Aza-bicyclo[3. 1.01hexane derivatives The present invention relates to 2-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane derivatives of formula (I) and their use as pharmaceuticals. The invention also concerns related aspects including 5 processes for the preparation of the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compounds of formula (I), and especially their use as orexin receptor antagonists. Orexins (orexin A or OX-A and orexin B or OX-B) are novel neuropeptides found in 1998 by two research groups, orexin A is a 33 amino acid peptide and orexin B is a 28 amino 10 acid peptide (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585). Orexins are produced in discrete neurons of the lateral hypothalamus and bind to G-protein-coupled receptors (OX 1 and
OX
2 receptors). The orexin-1 receptor (OX 1 ) is selective for OX-A, and the orexin-2 receptor (OX 2 ) is capable to bind OX-A as well as OX-B. Orexins are found to stimulate food consumption in rats suggesting a physiological role for these peptides as mediators in 15 the central feedback mechanism that regulates feeding behaviour (Sakurai T. et al., Cell, 1998, 92, 573-585). On the other hand, it was also observed that orexins regulate states of sleep and wakefulness opening potentially novel therapeutic approaches to narcolepsy as well as insomnia and other sleep disorders (Chemelli R.M. et al., Cell, 1999, 98, 437-45 1). Orexin receptors are found in the mammalian brain and may have numerous implications 20 in pathologies as known from the literature. The present invention provides 2-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane derivatives, which are non peptide antagonists of human orexin receptors. These compounds are in particular of potential use in the treatment of e.g. eating disorders, drinking disorders, sleep disorders, or cognitive dysfunctions in psychiatric and neurologic disorders. 25 Up to now, several low molecular weight compounds are known having a potential to antagonise either specifically OX 1 or OX 2 , or both receptors at the same time. Piperidine derivatives useful as orexin receptor antagonists are disclosed in WOO 1/096302. The present invention describes for the first time 2-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane derivatives as orexin receptor antagonists. 30 WO 2008/081399 PCT/IB2007/055326 2 i) A first aspect of the invention relates to compounds of formula (I) H N R 1 N A 0 n B Formula (I) wherein 5 A represents aryl or heterocyclyl, wherein the aryl or heterocyclyl is unsubstituted or independently mono- or di-substituted, wherein the substituents are independently selected from the group consisting of (C 1 _4)alkyl, (C 3

Reduction of the lactam with e.g. super-hydride and elimination with trifluoroacetic anhydride resulted in the formation of dihydro-pyrrole (3) which could be transferred to (4) by cyclopropanation with e.g. diethylzinc and diiodomethane. After reduction with DIBAL at low temperatures the respective alcohol (5) was oxidized to the corresponding aldehyde (6) with e.g. Dess 10 Martin periodinane. After reductive amination of (6) with benzylamine in the presence of a reducing agent like sodium triacetoxyborohydride the benzyl group was removed by hydrogenolysis to yield the primary amine (8). The acylation of (8) with a carboxylic acid
R
1 COOH in the presence of a coupling reagent like TBTU resulted in the formation of amides (9) which after removal of the Boc-group were transferred to compounds of 15 formula (I) and/or (Ia) by amide coupling (e.g. B-A-COOH, TBTU or B-A-COCl). Another approach to compounds of formula (I) and/or (Ta) started with the protection of amine (8) with trifluoroacetic anhydride to give amides (11) which were Boc-deprotected with an acid like HCl in a solvent like dioxane. The obtained amine (12) could be coupled with a carboxylic acid B-A-COOH in the presence of a coupling reagent like TBTU or 20 with an acid chloride B-A-COCl to an amide (13). After deprotection with for instance

The obtained amino-thiazole (45) was converted to the imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivative (46) by 5 alkylation and subsequent cyclization with bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal in the presence of an acid like concentrated hydrochloric acid. By saponification of (46) with for instance NaOH in solvents like THF and MeOH the desired acids (47) were obtained. Alternatively (pathway B) the imidazole derivative (48) may be transferred to the acetal (49) by alkylation with a bromoacetaldehyde dialkyl acetal derivative in the presence of a 10 base like sodium ethoxide. Cyclization under acidic conditions (e.g. aq. hydrochloric acid) and dehydration of the intermediate (50) with for instance phosphorus oxychloride led to ester (51) which was transformed to the desired acid (52) by saponification with for instance NaOH in solvents like THF and MeOH. In still an alternative procedure (pathway C) the respective amino-thiazole (53; 15 commercially available) was converted to the formamidine derivative (54) by heating (53) with NN-dimethylformamide dimethylacetale in a solvent like toluene. After alkylation with ethyl bromoacetate the respective thiazolium bromide (55) was cyclised with DBU to yield the ester (56) which was saponified to the desired acid (57) with for instance NaOH in solvents like THF and MeOH. 20 Finally pathway D started with the alkylation of 2-amino-thiazole with 3-bromo-1,1,1 trifluoroacetone to yield the trifluoromethyl-substituted imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivative (59) which was formylated to the aldehyde (60) by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride in a solvent like DMF. By oxidation of aldehyde (60) with sodium chlorite the desired imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-carboxylic acid (61) was obtained. In analogy, the commercially 25 available chlorinated aldehyde (60, being substituted with Cl instead of CF 3 ) was oxidized to the corresponding acid.
