[159] The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of one or more compounds of formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. [160] The compounds of the present invention are useful for the treatment of epilepsy, stroke, motor dysfunction and cranial diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, pain, neuropathological diseases, arthritis, sleep disorders, IBS and gastric injuries . [161] The compounds of the present invention are monosubstituted and disubstituted 3-propyl gamma-aminobutyric acids as shown in Formula I above. [162] The terms are as set forth below or are described herein. [163] The term alkyl or alkenyl includes straight or branched chain alkyl groups of 1 to 8 or 2 to 8 carbon atoms inclusive, including but not limited to methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, butyl, Or a branched chain. Alkyl may be unsubstituted or substituted with 1 to 3 fluorine atoms. Preferred groups are methyl and ethyl. [164] Cycloalkyl is a cyclic group having 3 to 7 carbon atoms. [165] The benzyl and phenyl groups may be unsubstituted or substituted with one to three groups each independently selected from halogen, especially fluoro, alkoxy, alkyl and amino. [166] Halogen includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. [167] Alkoxy is as defined above for alkyl. [168] When R is hydrogen, pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be prepared from the corresponding salts with suitable inorganic or organic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, malic acid, salicylic acid, malonic acid, maleic acid , Succinic acid and ascorbic acid. Starting from the corresponding hydroxide or carbonate, a salt with an alkali or alkaline earth metal, for example sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium, is formed. Salts with quaternary ammonium ions can also be prepared, for example, as tetramethyl-ammonium ions. [169] Prodrugs of compounds I-VIII are included within the scope of the present invention. Aminoacyl-glycolic acid esters and aminoacyl-lactic acid esters are known as prodrugs of amino acids (Wermuth C. G., Chemistry and Industry, 1980: 433-435). The carbonyl group of the amino acid can be esterified by a known method. Prodrugs and soft drugs are known in the art (Palomino E., Drugs of the Future, 1990; 15 (4): 361368). Both of these documents are hereby incorporated herein by reference. [170] The efficacy of orally administered drugs depends on the efficient delivery of the drug through the mucosal epithelium and its stability in the entero-hepatic circulation. Drugs that are effective after parenteral administration but less effective after oral administration or whose plasma half-life is considered too short may be chemically modified in the form of prodrugs. [171] A prodrug is a drug that can be chemically modified to be biologically inactive at its site of action but can be degraded or modified by one or more enzymes or other in vivo metabolism to become a bioactive model. [172] Such chemically modified drugs, or prodrugs, should be able to more easily penetrate the mucosal epithelium and be able to be absorbed, be a better salt preparation, or have their solubility and / Should be able to further improve systemic stability (e.g., increase in plasma half-life). These chemical transformations are as follows: [173] 1) an ester or amide derivative which can be cleaved, for example, by esterase or lipase. In the case of an ester derivative, the ester is derived from the carboxylic acid residue of the drug molecule by a known method. In the case of an amide derivative, the amide can be derived from the carboxylic acid residue or amine residue of the drug molecule by known methods; [174] 2) peptides that can be recognized by specific or non-specific proteases. The peptide can be coupled to the drug molecule via amide bond formation with an amine or carboxylic acid residue of the drug molecule by known methods; [175] 3) a derivative that accumulates in the action site through membrane selection of a prodrug form or a modified prodrug form; [176] 4) any combination of 1 to 3; [177] Animal studies currently show that oral absorption of some drugs can be increased by the production of "soft" quaternary salts. Quaternary salts are referred to as "soft" Quaternary salts because, unlike conventional quaternary salts, such as RN + (CH 3 ) 3 , the soft quaternary salts can release the active drug upon hydrolysis . [178] &Quot; Soft " quaternary salts have useful properties when compared to a basic drug or salt thereof. Water solubility can be increased as compared to other salts, such as hydrochloride, but more importantly, absorption of the drug from the intestines can be increased. Increased absorption is due to the fact that "soft" quaternary salts can form nonionizing pairs with micelles and bile acids that have surfactant properties and can more efficiently penetrate the intestinal epithelium same. After absorption, the prodrug is hydrolyzed rapidly, releasing the active parent drug. [179] Some compounds of the present invention may exist in dissolved form as well as hydrated form, as well as in hydrated form. Generally, the dissolution profile including the hydration profile is the same as the dissolution profile and is included in the scope of the present invention. [180] The compounds of the present invention include all enantiomeric and epimeric forms as well as suitable mixtures thereof. For example, the compound of Example 1 is a mixture of all four possible stereoisomers. The compound of Example 6 is one of the above isomers. When the structure can be defined, the structure of the cyclohexane ring carbon center may be R or S in these compounds. [181] Radiation ligand binding assays using [ 3 H] gabapentin and α 2 δ subunits derived from porcine brain tissue were used (Gee NS, Brown JP, Dissanayake VUK, Offord J., Thurlow R., Woodruff GN, Novel Anti-convulsant Drug, Gabapentin, Binds to the α 2 δ Subunit of a Calcium Channel, "J. Biol Chem., 1996; 271: 5879-5776). [182] <Table 1> [183] [184] Table 1 shows the binding affinities of the 2 Subunit and the compound of the present invention. [185] Compounds of the invention are compared to Neurontin (TM), a marketable drug useful for the treatment of diseases such as epilepsy. Neurotin (R) is 1- (aminomethyl) -cyclohexanoic acetic acid of the formula: [186] [187] Gabapentin (neuronal (TM)) is about 0.10 to 0.12 μM in this assay. Thus, the compounds of the invention are expected to exhibit pharmacological properties comparable to gabapentin or gabapentin, for example, as medicines for convulsions, anxiety and pain. [188] The present invention also relates to the therapeutic use of the compounds of the present invention, which are similar to those for neurodegenerative diseases. [189] Such neurodegenerative diseases are, for example, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [190] The present invention also encompasses treating neurodegenerative diseases called acute brain injury. These diseases include, but are not limited to, stroke, cranial trauma, and asphyxia. [191] Stroke refers to cerebrovascular disease and can also be referred to as CVA (Cerebral Vascular Incident) and includes acute thromboembolic stroke. Calcane includes both focal ischemia and systemic ischemia. It also includes transient cerebral ischemic attacks and other cerebrovascular diseases accompanied by cerebral ischemia. The patient is specifically undergoing carotid endarterectomy, generally undergoing other cerebral or vascular procedures, or undergoing angiography, including cerebral angiography. [192] Other diseases include head trauma, spinal trauma, or similar damage that occurs during the course of general anoxia, hypoxia, hypoglycemia, hypertension, as well as dislocation, hyperperfusion, and hypoxia. [193] The present invention will be useful in various cases, such as during cardiac bypass, intracranial hemorrhage, prenatal vaginism, heart attack and epileptic persistence. [194] Pain refers to acute pain as well as chronic pain. [195] Acute pain is usually short-term pain and is associated with hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. Examples include postoperative pain and allodynia. [196] Chronic pain is defined as pain that usually lasts for three to six months and includes both chain pain and cardiogenic pain. Other pain is traumatic. [197] Other pain is caused by injury or infection of the peripheral sensory nerve. This pain includes, but is not limited to, peripheral nerve trauma, herpes virus infection, diabetes mellitus, causalgia, plexus avulsion, neuroma, limb amputation and pain from vasculitis. Neuropathic pain is also caused by chronic alcoholism, human immunodeficiency virus infection, hypothyroidism, uremia, or nerve damage from vitamin deficiency. Neuropathic pain includes, but is not limited to, pain caused by nerve damage, such as pain caused by diabetes. [198] Psychogenic pain is a pain not resulting from an organ such as back pain, irregular facial pain and chronic headache. [199] Other forms of pain include, but are not limited to, inflammatory pain, osteoarthritic pain, trigeminal neuralgia, cancer pain, diabetic neuropathy, restless leg syndrome, herpetic neuralgia, postherpetic neuralgia, burning pain, brachial plexus excision, laryngeal pain, gout, Other forms of neuralgia, neuropathic and idiopathic pain syndrome. [200] A skilled physician will be able to determine the conditions suitable for administering the compounds of the present invention to, for example, patients suffering from stroke, as well as patients susceptible to stroke or at risk for stroke. [201] The compounds of the present invention are expected to be useful in the treatment of depression. The origin of depression can be the result of an institutional illness, a result of stress associated with personal loss, or idiopathic. Some forms of depression tend to occur on a family basis, suggesting that there is at least one causative mechanism for some form of depression. Depression is mainly diagnosed by quantifying changes in the mood of the ball. This assessment of mood is performed primarily by physicians or quantified by a neuropsychologist using proven evaluation criteria such as the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale or the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. A number of criteria have been developed to quantify and measure the degree of mood changes in patients with depression, such as insomnia, lack of concentration, lack of energy, feelings of lack of value, and guilt. The criteria for all psychiatric diagnoses, as well as the diagnosis of depression, are described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, referred to as the DSM-IV-R (1994) manual published by the American Psychiatric Association. [202] GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system. Within the general context of inhibition, GABA-like mimics depression or depresses brain function, slowing brain function and reducing mood, resulting in depression. [203] The compounds of the present invention can induce an anticonvulsant effect through an increase in the newly generated GABA at the synaptic boundary. If gabapentin actually increases the efficacy of GABA at the GABA level or at the synaptic interface, gabapentin may be classified as a GABA-like and will cause depression by slowing or depressing brain function, slowing brain function and reducing mood. [204] The fact that a GABA agonist or GABA-like mimics the opposite action by elevating mood and thus is an anticonvulsant is a new concept different from the general opinion of the GABA activity. [205] The compounds of the present invention are expected to be useful in the treatment of anxiety and panic, as evidenced by standard pharmacological procedures. [206] In addition, the compounds of the present invention are expected to be useful in the treatment of sleep disorders. Sleep disorders are disorders that affect sleep ability and / or ability to maintain a sleep state, disorders that involve too much sleep, or abnormal behavior associated with sleep. Such disorders include, for example, insomnia, drug-related insomnia, sleep overload, sleep apnea, sleep apnea syndrome, and parasomnia. [207] The compounds of the present invention are also useful in the treatment of arthritis. [208] <Biological activity> [209] <Table 2> [210] [211] [212] [213] [214] The compounds of the present invention are useful as anxiolytics and anticonvulsants as described in Table 2 above. These are compared with isobutylglyba or pregabalin, which is (S) -3- (aminomethyl) -5-methylhexanoic acid of the formula: [215] [216] <Materials and Methods> [217] Hyperalgesia induced by Carrageenin [218] The Randall-Selitto method (Randall LO and Selitto JJ, "A method for measurement of analgesic activity on inflamed tissue," Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., Vol. 1957; 4: 409-419). Male Sprague-Dawley rats (70-90 g) were trained in this apparatus prior to testing. The pressure was gently applied to the hind feet of each rat, and the perforation boundary was measured as the pressure (g) required to pull the foot back. A 250 g cut-off point was used to prevent any tissue damage to the foot. On the day of the test, baseline measurements were taken 2 to 3 times, and 100 μl of 2% carrageenin was administered into the right hind paw by intraplantar injection. In order to establish an animal with hyperalgesia, the intracoronary acceptance boundary was measured 3 hours after the administration of carrageenin. Animals were administered gabapentin (3 to 300 mg, subcutaneously), morphine (3 mg / kg, subcutaneously) or physiological water 3.5 hours after the administration of carrageenin, And 5 hours later. [219] (R) -2-aza-spiro [4.5] decane-4-carboxylic acid hydrochloride was tested in the above carrageenin-induced hyperalgesia model. 30 mg / kg of the compound was orally administered and showed a maximum possible effect (MPE) of 53% after 1 hour of administration. Only 4.6% of MPE was seen 2 hours after administration. [220] <Semicarbazide-induced tense seizures> [221] Subcutaneous administration of semicarbazide (750 mg / kg) induced a tense seizure in mice. The latency period for stretching and extending forepaws was measured. Any mice that did not show convulsions within 2 hours after semicarbazide administration were considered protected mice and given a maximal incubation score of 120 min. [222] <Animal> [223] Male Hooded Lister rats (200-250 g) were purchased from Interfauna (Huntingdon, UK) and male TO mice (20-25 g) were purchased from Bantin and Kingman , UK). Two rodents were divided into six groups. A pair of 10 weight-bearing, double-calligraphy monkeys (Callithrix Jacchus) weighing 280 g to 360 g, raised at the Manchester University Metcalk School (Manch Ester, UK), were housed. All animals were placed in a light and dark place over a 12-hour period to provide sufficient food and water. [224] ≪ Drug administration > [225] Prior to testing, the drug is administered intraperitoneally (IP) or subcutaneously (SC) at a volume of 1 ml / kg for rats and spiny monkeys, and at a volume of 10 ml / kg for mice. [226] <Mouse light / arm box> [227] The device is a box with an open top (length 45 cm, width 27 cm, height 27 cm), which is divided into small (2/5) and large (93/5) (Costall B., et al., "Exploration of mice in a black and white box: validation as a model of anxiety," Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav., 1989; 32: 777-785). [228] There is a 7.5 x 7.5 cm opening in the center of the bottom of the floor. Small compartments are painted black and large compartments are painted white. The white block illuminates with a 60-W tungsten bulb. The laboratory illuminates with a red light. Each mouse is tested by placing each mouse in the center of the white area and letting the mouse explore the new environment for 5 minutes. Measures the time spent on the illuminated side (Kilfoil T., et al., "Effects of anxiolytic and anxiogenic drugs on exploratory activity in a simple model of anxiety inmice," Neuropharmacol., 1989; 28: 901-905). [229] <Rat Rising X-maze> [230] The standard elevated X-maze (Handley SL, et al., "Effects of alpha adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists in a maze-exploratory model of'fear'motivated behavior," Naunyn-Schiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol., 1984; (Field, et al., &Quot; Automation of the rat elevated X-maze test of anxiety, " Br. J. Pharmacol., 1991; 102 (Suppl.): 304P). Place the animal in the center of the X-maze facing one of the open tubes. To measure the anxiolytic effect, the time spent in the distal half of the open tube is measured during a 5-minute test period (Costall, et al., "Use of the elevated plus maze to assess anxiolytic potential in the rat, &Quot; Br. J. Pharmacol., 1989; 96 (Suppl.): 312p). [231] <Silkworm monkey human threat test> [232] Record the total number of body postures the animal represents for a 2-minute trial period on a threat stimulus (a silkworm monkey standing about 0.5 cm away from us and staring at the eyes of a Silkworm monkey). The recorded body posture is an arching of glancing stare, tail posture, odor display of our / seated spot, hairy, retracted, and so on. Each animal is exposed twice to the challenge stimulus on the day before and after the drug treatment. The difference between the two scores is analyzed using Dunnett's t-test after unidirectional deviation analysis. All drug treatments are performed by subcutaneous administration at least 2 hours after the first (control) threat. The total treatment time for each compound is 40 minutes. [233] ≪ [234] The rats are trained to press the lever for food compensation in the moving chamber. The training schedule is based on the assumption that a signal is delivered by digestion of the chamber, etc., without punishing four times over a period of 30 seconds at which the signal is delivered by the ignition of the chamber, And the bee is applied three times at a ratio of 3 for 3 minutes alternately. The degree of footshock for each rat is adjusted so as to obtain a reaction inhibition rate of approximately 80% to 90% as compared with the reaction when not subjected to bees. Give rats a menstrual cycle on the day of training. [235] ≪ DBA2 mouse model of anticonvulsant efficacy > [236] All procedures were performed according to NIH guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals under protocols approved by the Parke-Davis Animal Use Committee. Male DBA / 2 mice, 3 to 4 weeks old, were purchased from Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, Maine. Immediately prior to the anticonvulsant test, the mice were placed on a wire mesh [10.16 cm 2 (4 inch square)] floating from a steel rod. The mesh was slowly rotated 180 degrees and the mice were observed for 30 seconds. Any mouse away from the wire mesh was recorded as impaired (Coughenour LL, McLean JR, Parker RB, "A new device for impaired motor function in mice," Pharm. Biochem. Behav. 3): 351-3). The mice were confined within a closed acrylic plastic chamber (21 cm high, approximately 30 cm in diameter) with high frequency speakers (4 cm diameter) in the center of the top lid. A continuous S-shaped tone was generated that spread linearly at a frequency of 8 kHz to 16 kHz per 10 msec using an audio signal generator (Protek model B-810). The average sound pressure during stimulation was approximately 100 dB at the bottom of the chamber The mice were allowed to acclimate for 1 minute with the mouse in the chamber. The characteristic seizure sequence, consisting of a rigid extension following an intermittent seizure after a rough run in the vehicle-treated group DBA / 2 mice, and finally a respiratory arrest and death in more than 80% (Applied for up to 60 minutes, or for up to 60 sec.) In vehicle-treated mice, the seizure or respiratory arrest lasts for approximately 15 to 20 seconds Drug Treatment < RTI ID = 0.0 > recording the events of all ictal and pro-bit (probit) was analyzed by using the incidence of tonic seizures for calculating anticonvulsant ED 50 (Litchfield JT, Wilcoxon F. "A simplified method for evaluating dose-effect experiments," J. Pharmacol., 1949, 96: 99-113.) The mice were used only once to test at each administration point. (N = 5 to 10 per administration) were tested for the two-hour seizure response (time of peak effect previously measured) induced by sound. And dissolved orally and administered orally at a volume of 10 ml / kg per kg of body weight The insoluble compound will be suspended in 1% carboxymethylcellulose The dosage is expressed as the weight of the active drug moiety. [237] The compounds of the present invention are expected to be useful in the treatment of pain and phobias (Am. J. Pain Manag, 1995; 5: 7-9). [238] In addition, the compounds of the present invention are expected to be useful in treating the symptoms of bipolar disorder, acute or chronic depression, single upside depression or recurrent depression. In addition, the compounds of the present invention are expected to be useful in the treatment and / or prevention of bipolar disorder (U.S. Patent No. 5,510,381). [239] In addition, the compounds of the present invention are expected to be useful for sleep disorders. The prediction is as described in the literature (Drug Dev Res 1988; 14: 151-159). [240] The compounds of the present invention can be manufactured and administered in a wide variety of oral and parenteral dosage forms. Thus, the compounds of the invention may be administered by injection, i. E., Intravenously, intramuscularly, intradermally, subcutaneously, intraduodenally or intraperitoneally. In addition, the compounds of the invention may be administered by inhalation, for example, intranasally. In addition, the compounds of the present invention can be transdermally administered. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following dosage forms may comprise as the active ingredient a compound of formula I or a corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula I. [241] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for the production of pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds of the present invention may be either solid or liquid. Solid formulations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. The solid carrier may be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, binders, preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or encapsulating materials. [242] In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid mixed with the finely divided active component. [243] In tablets, the active ingredient is mixed with the carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted to the desired shape and size. [244] The powders and tablets preferably contain 5 or 10 to about 70% active ingredient. Suitable carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, low melting wax, cocoa butter and the like. The term " preparation " is intended to encompass a preparation of the active compound, comprising as carrier a encapsulating material which provides a capsule in which the active ingredient, unmixed or unmixed with the other carrier, is surrounded by the carrier and bound to the carrier. Similarly, cachet and rosen map are included. Tablets, powders, capsules, pills, cachets and lozenges may be used in solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration. [245] To prepare a suppository, a low melting wax, such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter, is first melted and stirred to homogeneously disperse the active ingredient in the molten wax. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds and allowed to cool and solidify. [246] Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, emulsions, for example, water or water propylene glycol solutions. The liquid formulation for parenteral administration may be formulated as a solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution. [247] Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolving the active ingredient in water and adding the appropriate dye, flavoring, stabilizing and thickening agents as desired. [248] Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dispersing the finely divided active ingredient in water, including viscous materials such as natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and other known suspending agents. [249] Also included are solid form preparations that can be converted to liquid preparations for oral administration immediately prior to use. Such liquid formers include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. These preparations may contain pigments, flavors, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizers and the like in addition to the active ingredients. [250] The pharmaceutical preparation is preferably in a single dosage form. In this form, the agent is subdivided into a single dose containing an appropriate amount of the active ingredient. Single dosage forms may be packaged preparations such as tablets, capsules and powders in vials or ampoules, and the package contains a quantity of the formulation. In addition, the unit dosage form may be a capsule, tablet, cachet, or lozenge itself, or it may be any suitable number of these formulations in packaged form. [251] The amount of the active ingredient in the unit dosage form may vary depending on the specific use and efficacy of the active ingredient, or may be adjusted to 0.1 mg to 1 g. For medical use, the drug can be administered, for example, as a 100 or 300 mg capsule three times a day. If desired, the composition may contain other compatible therapeutic agents. [252] For therapeutic use, the compounds used in the pharmaceutical methods of the present invention are administered at an initial dosage of from about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg / kg per day. A daily dose of about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg / kg is preferred. However, the dosage may vary depending on the patient's need, the severity of the condition to be treated and the compound used. Determination of the dosage appropriate for the particular condition is made by those skilled in the art. In general, the treatment is initiated at a lower dose than the optimal dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dose is gradually increased until the optimum effect is obtained under the specific conditions. For convenience, a total daily dose may be divided and administered in divided doses, if desired. [253] The following examples illustrate the invention and are not intended to limit its scope.
