The present invention relates to 3-substituted-2-(arylalkyl)-1-azabicycloalkanes, methods of preparing the compounds and methods of treatment using the compounds. The azabicycloalkanes generally are azabicycloheptanes, azabicyclooctanes, or azabicyclononanes. The aryl group in the arylalkyl moiety is a 5- or 6-membered ring heteroaromatic, preferably 3-pyridinyl and 5-pyrimidinyl moieties, and the alkyl group is typically a C
1-4
alkyl. The substituent at the 3-position of the 1-azabicycloalkane is a carbonyl group-containing moiety, such as an amide, carbamate, urea, thioamide, thiocarbamate, thiourea or similar functionality. The compounds exhibit activity at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), particularly the &agr;7 nAChR subtype, and are useful towards modulating neurotransmission and the release of ligands involved in neurotransmission. Methods for preventing or treating conditions and disorders, including central nervous system (CNS) disorders, which are characterized by an alteration in normal neurotransmission, are also disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for treating inflammation, autoimmune disorders, pain and excess neovascularization, such as that associated with tumor growth.
本发明涉及3-取代-2-(芳基烷基)-1-氮杂双环烷类化合物,制备这些化合物的方法以及使用这些化合物进行治疗的方法。这些氮杂双环烷通常是氮杂双环庚烷、氮杂双环辛烷或氮杂双环壬烷。芳基烷基中的芳基是一个5-或6-成员环杂芳基,优选是3-吡啶基和5-嘧啶基,烷基通常是C1-4烷基。1-氮杂双环烷的3-位取代基是一个含有羰基的基团,例如酰胺、碳酸酯、脲、硫代酰胺、硫代碳酸酯、硫脲或类似功能基团。这些化合物在尼古丁型乙酰胆碱受体(nAChRs)上表现出活性,特别是α7 nAChR亚型,并且对调节神经递质传递和与神经递质有关的配体释放具有用处。还公开了用于预防或治疗中枢神经系统(CNS)疾病等疾病和疾病的方法,这些疾病和疾病以正常神经递质传递的改变为特征。还公开了用于治疗炎症、自身免疫疾病、疼痛和过度新生血管化的方法,例如与肿瘤生长相关的新生血管化。
