FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for the treatment of various neurological and psychological disorders, and the use of the compounds in combination therapy. In particular, the present invention relates to such compounds, compositions, and methods, where the compounds are novel glycine transporter-1 (GlyT-1) inhibitors.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Schizophrenia is a chronic and devastating mental illness that affects approximately 1% of the world's population (Andreasen, Brain Res. Rev., 31:106 (2000)). Over 2.2 million adults age 18 years and older in the United States are diagnosed with schizophrenia, which is approximately twice the number of people stricken with Alzheimer's disease and virtually six times more than those diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes. Men and women are affected equally and the incident rate is nearly the same for all countries and ethnic groups throughout the world, ranking the disease among the top ten causes of disability worldwide (Andreasen, Brain Res. Rev., 31:106 (2000)).
The symptoms of schizophrenia generally appear in late adolescence or early adulthood and can be grouped into three specific categories. These include positive symptoms (auditory and visual hallucinations, disorganized thoughts and speech, delusions and irrational fears), negative symptoms (social withdrawal, adhedonia, blunted affect, lack of energy and catatonia), and cognitive dysfunction (diminished capacity for learning and memory, attention, vigilance and social cognition). Negative symptoms and especially cognitive impairment are considered to be the primary contributors to poor social functioning, the inability to work, lack of independent living skills and poor quality of life for nearly all patients (Andreasen, Brain Res. Rev., 31:106 (2000)).
The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor is an ionotropic glutamate receptor involved in fast excitatory neurotransmission, which plays a key role in a variety of CNS functions, most notably long term potentiation (LTP) and neuronal plasticity. A growing body of evidence is emerging that suggests glutamatergic neurotransmission is playing a key role in the etiology of the schizophrenia. The “glutamate hypothesis” originated from the discovery that the non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonists ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP) induce positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms in healthy individuals and exacerbate symptoms in stable patients (Coyle, Cell. Mol. Neurobiol., 26:365 (2006)). These observations suggest that NMDA receptor hypofunction is playing a critical role in schizophrenia (Coyle, Cell. Mol. Neurobiol., 26:365 (2006); Millan, Psychopharmacology, 179:30 (2005)). Thus, agents that can enhance receptor function may effectively ameliorate the full symptomology of psychosis. Direct agonism is not a viable approach as it leads to excitotoxicity (M. J. Marino, et. al., J. Med. Chem., 51:1077 (2008)). Consequently, several strategies to indirectly potentiate the receptor and avoid toxic side effects are being investigated (M. J. Marino, et. al., J. Med. Chem., 51:1077 (2008); Hui, et. al., Recent Pat. CNS Drug Discov., 4:220 (2009); Stone, et. al., CNS Neurol. Diord. Drug Targets, 6:265 (2007); Gray, et. al., Mol. Psychiatry, 12:904 (2007)).
Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter at strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors (GlyA site) and an excitatory neurotransmitter at the glycine modulatory site located on the NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor (GlyB site). It is an obligatory co-agonist that allows glutamate to bind and stimulate the receptor (Harsing Jr., et. al., Current Med. Chem., 13:1017 (2006)). Thus, a method to potentiate NMDA receptor function would be to increase synaptic glycine concentrations at the GlyB site. Studies show that patients experience improvement of negative symptoms when administered glycine (0.8 g/kg/day) or D-serine (a GlyB site agonist, 0.03 g/kg/day) in conjunction with clozapine (Javitt, Biol. Psychiatry, 63:6 (2008). Large doses of these amino acids were required due to poor pharmacokinetics (PK) and CNS-penetrance; however these encouraging results provided an impetus to discover alternative approaches for increasing synaptic glycine levels.
Two high-affinity transporters that regulate synaptic glycine concentrations have been identified: GlyT-1 and GlyT-2 (Harsing Jr., et. al., Current Med. Chem., 13:1017 (2006)). Both share a high level of homology across species and approximate 50% homology with each other. Glycine transporters belong to the Na + /Cl − solute carrier 6 (SLC6) family, which includes the dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE), leucine, taurine, proline, and GABA transporters. GlyT-2 is expressed in the brainstem and spinal chord and is co-localized with strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors. GlyT-1 is primarily expressed in neuronal and glial cells of the forebrain and is largely co-localized with NMDA receptors (Harsing Jr., et. al., Current Med. Chem., 13:1017 (2006)). Thus, inhibition of GlyT-1 provides an opportunity to elevate glycine levels within close proximity to the GlyB site.
Knockout studies reveal that complete, homozygous GlyT-1 (−/−) knockout in mice is neonatally lethal, however heterozygous GlyT-1 (+/−) mice survive to adulthood and display enhanced NMDA receptor function in the hippocampus, better memory retention and no disruption in sensory gating when dosed with amphetamine (Gomeza, et. al., Handb. Exp. Pharmacols., 457 (2006)).
A small placebo controlled study was conducted whereby 20 stably treated schizophrenic patients were given sarcosine, a weak but selective GlyT-1 inhibitor, at a dose of 2 g per day. Patients exhibited improvement with negative and cognitive symptoms (Lane, et. al., Biol. Psychiatry, 63:9 (2009)).
Some glycine transporter-1 inhibitors are known in the art and have been reported to be efficacious in animal models predictive of antipsychotic activity. A handful of GlyT-1 inhibitors have advanced into Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III clinical studies. However, there is a need for other GlyT-1 inihibitors efficacious in the treatment of neurological and psychological disorders. The present invention is directed to achieving this objective.

The prefix aza, oxa, or thio before heterocycle means that at least a nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur atom, respectively, is present as a ring atom. A nitrogen atom of a heteroaryl is optionally oxidized to the corresponding N-oxide. A sulfur atom of a heteroaryl is optionally oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxide or sulfone. Representative aromatic monocyclic ring systems include pyrrole, 1H-pyrazole, pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, 2-oxo-pyridin-1(2H)-yl, 6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-yl, pyrazinyl, triazinyl, pyranyl, furanyl, pyrrolyl, thiophenyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, 1H-1,2,3-triazolyl, 2H-1,2,3-triazolyl, 4H-1,2,4-triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, tetrazolyl, and the like. For lactam analogues of “aromatic monocyclic heterocycles” such as pyridin-2(1H)-one, pyridazin-3(2H)-one, and the like, when these lactams are structurally connected through the nitrogen atom adjacent to the lactam carbonyl, these lactams of aromatic monocyclic heterocycle are considered as “aromatic monocyclic heterocycle” in this invention. In addition, when a nitrogen containing heterocyle is substituted by hydroxyl group on the carbon adjacent to the nitrogen, the substituted heterocycle can be named as either tautomer as exemplified by the following examples:
Two non-adjacent carbons of the ring
may form a —CH 2 — or —CH 2 CH 2 — bridge as exemplified by the following examples:
The term “heterocycle” means a nonaromatic, monocyclic ring system of about 4 to 8 ring atoms, preferably 5 or 6, in which one or more of the atoms in the ring system is/are element(s) other than carbon, for example, nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur. The prefix aza, oxa, or thio before the heterocycle means that at least a nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur atom, respectively, is present as a ring atom. A nitrogen atom in the ring is optionally oxidized to the corresponding N-oxide. A sulfur atom of a heterocycle is optionally oxidized to either the sulfoxide or sulfone. Representative monocyclic heterocycles include pyrrolidine, piperidine, piperazine, tetrahydrofuran, pyran, tetrahydropyran, oxetane, and the like.
The term “substituted” or “substitution” of an atom means that one or more hydrogen on the designated atom is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valency is not exceeded. “Unsubstituted” atoms bear all of the hydrogen atoms dictated by their valency. When a substituent is keto or oxo (i.e., ═O), then two hydrogens on the atom are replaced. When a substituent is thio (i.e., ═S), then two hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds; by “stable compound” or “stable structure” is meant a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.
The term “compounds of the invention”, and equivalent expressions, are meant to embrace compounds of general formula (I) as hereinbefore described, which expression includes the prodrugs, the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and the solvates, e.g. hydrates, where the context so permits. Similarly, reference to intermediates, whether or not they themselves are claimed, is meant to embrace their salts and solvates, where the context so permits. For the sake of clarity, particular instances when the context so permits are sometimes indicated in the text, but these instances are purely illustrative and it is not intended to exclude other instances when the context so permits.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” means the relatively non-toxic, inorganic and organic acid addition salts, and base addition salts, of compounds of the present invention. These salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds. In particular, acid addition salts can be prepared by separately reacting the purified compound in its free base form with a suitable organic or inorganic acid and isolating the salt thus formed. Representative acid addition salts include the hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, nitrate, acetate, oxalate, valerate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, borate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, citrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, tartrate, naphthylate, mesylate, glucoheptonate, lactiobionate, sulphamates, malonates, salicylates, propionates, methylene-bis-b-hydroxynaphthoates, gentisates, isethionates, di-p-toluoyltartrates, methane-sulphonates, ethanesulphonates, benzenesulphonates, p-toluenesulphonates, cyclohexylsulphamates, and quinateslaurylsulphonate salts, and the like. (See, for example Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 66:1-sup.19 (1977) and Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed, p. 1418, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa. (1985), which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.) Base addition salts can also be prepared by separately reacting the purified compound in its acid form with a suitable organic or inorganic base and isolating the salt thus formed. Base addition salts include pharmaceutically acceptable metal and amine salts. Suitable metal salts include the sodium, potassium, calcium, barium, zinc, magnesium, and aluminum salts. The sodium and potassium salts are preferred. Suitable inorganic base addition salts are prepared from metal bases which include, for example, sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and zinc hydroxide. Suitable amine base addition salts are prepared from amines which have sufficient basicity to form a stable salt, and preferably include the following amines which are frequently used in medicinal chemistry because of their low toxicity and acceptability for medical use: ammonia, ethylenediamine, N-methyl-glucamine, lysine, arginine, ornithine, choline, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, diethanolamine, procaine, N-benzylphenethylamine, diethylamine, piperazine, tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, triethylamine, dibenzylamine, ephenamine, dehydroabietylamine, N-ethylpiperidine, benzylamine, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, ethylamine, basic amino acids, e.g., lysine and arginine, and dicyclohexylamine, and the like.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs” as used herein means those prodrugs of the compounds useful according to the present invention which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals with undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and effective for their intended use, as well as the zwitterionic forms, where possible, of the compounds of the invention. The term “prodrug” means compounds that are rapidly transformed in vivo to yield the parent compound of the above formula, for example by hydrolysis in blood. Functional groups which may be rapidly transformed, by metabolic cleavage, in vivo form a class of groups reactive with the carboxyl group of the compounds of this invention. They include, but are not limited to, such groups as alkanoyl (such as acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, and the like), unsubstituted and substituted aroyl (such as benzoyl and substituted benzoyl), alkoxycarbonyl (such as ethoxycarbonyl), trialkylsilyl (such as trimethyl- and triethysilyl), monoesters formed with dicarboxylic acids (such as succinyl), and the like. Because of the ease with which the metabolically cleavable groups of the compounds useful according to this invention are cleaved in vivo, the compounds bearing such groups act as prodrugs. The compounds bearing the metabolically cleavable groups have the advantage that they may exhibit improved bioavailability as a result of enhanced solubility and/or rate of absorption conferred upon the parent compound by virtue of the presence of the metabolically cleavable group. A thorough discussion of prodrugs is provided in the following: Bundgaard, ed., Design of Prodrugs , Elsevier (1985); Widder et al., Methods in Enzymology , ed., Academic Press, 42:309-396 (1985); “Design and Applications of Prodrugs,” Krogsgaard-Larsen, ed., A Textbook of Drug Design and Development , Chapter 5:113-191 (1991); Bundgaard, “ Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews,” 8:1-38 (1992); Bundgaard et al., Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 77:285 (1988); Nakeya et al., Chem.

Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and “Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design” American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press (1987), which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate, and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups in the compounds of the invention.
The term “therapeutically effective amounts” is meant to describe an amount of compound of the present invention effective in increasing the levels of glycine at the synapse and thus producing the desired therapeutic effect. Such amounts generally vary according to a number of factors well within the purview of ordinarily skilled artisans given the description provided herein to determine and account for. These include, without limitation: the particular subject, as well as its age, weight, height, general physical condition, and medical history, the particular compound used, as well as the carrier in which it is formulated and the route of administration selected for it; and, the nature and severity of the condition being treated.
The term “pharmaceutical composition” means a composition comprising compounds of formula (I) and at least one component selected from the group comprising pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, adjuvants, excipients, or vehicles, such as preserving agents, fillers, disintegrating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, perfuming agents, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents, lubricating agents, and dispensing agents, depending on the nature of the mode of administration and dosage forms. Examples of suspending agents include ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, and tragacanth, or mixtures of these substances. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be ensured by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, for example sugars, sodium chloride, and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought about by the use of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin. Examples of suitable carriers, diluents, solvents, or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols, suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Examples of excipients include lactose, milk sugar, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, and dicalcium phosphate. Examples of disintegrating agents include starch, alginic acids, and certain complex silicates. Examples of lubricants include magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulphate, talc, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means it is, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the cells of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms” means dosage forms of the compound of the invention, and includes, for example, tablets, dragees, powders, elixirs, syrups, liquid preparations, including suspensions, sprays, inhalants tablets, lozenges, emulsions, solutions, granules, capsules. and suppositories, as well as liquid preparations for injections, including liposome preparations. Techniques and formulations generally may be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed, Easton, Pa., Mack Publishing Company (1985), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

The NMDA receptor plays a critical role in several CNS processes and dysfunction of this receptor is implicated in a variety of psychiatric diseases in humans. The function of GlyT-1 transporters is to modulate synaptic glycine levels in localized areas near to the NMDA receptor Inhibition of GlyT-1 will retard glycine removal and cause an increase in synaptic glycine levels. This increases binding to the GlyB site on the NMDA receptor, which in turn increases activation of the NMDA receptor following glutamate release from the pre-synaptic terminal Changes in NMDA receptor-mediated neurotransmission have been implicated in certain neuropsychiatric disorders such as dementia, depression, and psychoses, for example schizophrenia, and learning and memory disorders, for example attention deficit disorders and autism.
The compounds of the present invention have utility in treating a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with glutamatergic neurotransmission dysfunction, including one or more of the following conditions or diseases: schizophrenia or psychosis including schizophrenia (paranoid, disorganized, catatonic or undifferentiated), schizophreniform disorder, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, brief psychotic disorder, shared psychotic disorder, psychotic disorder due to a general medical condition and substance-induced or drug-induced (phenylcyclidine, ketamine and dissociative anaesthetic, amphetamine and other psychostimulants and cocaine), psychosis psychotic disorder, psychosis associated with affective disorders, brief reactive psychosis, schizoaffective psychosis, “schizophrenia-spectrum” disorders such as schizoid or schizotypical personality disorders, or illness associated with psychosis (such as major depression, manic depressive (bipolar) disorder, Alzheimer's disease and post-traumatic stress syndrome), including both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia and other psychoses; cognitive disorders including dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease, ischemia, multi-infarct dementia, trauma, vascular problems or stroke, HIV disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Pick's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, perinatal hypoxia, other general medical conditions or substance abuse; cognition impairment, delirium, amnestic disorders or age related cognitive decline; anxiety disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, bipolar disorder or manic depression or manic-depressive disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress disorder, social phobia, simple phobias, pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), major depressive disorder (MDD), postnatal depression, dysthymia, depression associated with Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, supranuclear palsy, eating disorders, obesity, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, diabetes, ischemic diseases, pain, substance abuse disorders, chemical dependencies, nicotine addiction, cocaine addiction, amphetamine addiction, alcohol addiction, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson's disease, late luteal phase syndrome or narcolepsy, insomnia, anger, rejection sensitivity, movement disorders, extrapyramidal syndrome, chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, Tic disorders, Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome, epilepsy, restless leg syndrome (RLS), tardive dyskinesia, supranuclear palsy, sleep related eating disorder (SRED), night eating syndrome (NES), stress urinary incontinence (SUI), migraine, neuropathic pain, diabetic neuropathy, lower back pain, fibromyalgia syndrome (FS), osteoarthritis pain, arthritis pain, chronic pain with memory impairment, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), emesis, hearing impairment, tinnitus, urinary incontinence, ocular damage, retinopathy or macular degeneration of the eye, drug induced parkinsonism; NMDA receptor-related disorders such as autism, depression, benign forgetfulness and childhood learning disorders.
The compounds provided herein are particularly useful in the treatment of these and other disorders due, at least in part, to their ability to selectively bind to the GlyT-1 with a greater affinity than to the transporter proteins for other neurochemicals.

It will be appreciated that compounds according to the present invention may contain asymmetric centers. These asymmetric centers may independently be in either the R or S configuration and such compounds are able to rotate a plane of polarized light in a polarimeter. If said plane of polarized light is caused by the compound to rotate in a counterclockwise direction, the compound is said to be the (−) stereoisomer of the compound. If said plane of polarized light is caused by the compound to rotate in a clockwise direction, the compound is said to be the (+) stereoisomer of the compound. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that certain compounds useful according to the invention may also exhibit geometrical isomerism. It is to be understood that the present invention includes individual geometrical isomers and stereoisomers and mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures, of compounds of formula (I) herein above. Such isomers can be separated from their mixtures, by the application or adaptation of known methods, for example chromatographic techniques and recrystallization techniques, or they are separately prepared from the appropriate isomers of their intermediates.
Radiolabeled compounds of the invention are synthesized by a number of techniques well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, e.g., by using starting materials incorporating therein one or more radioisotopes. Compounds of the present invention where a stable radioisotope, such as carbon-14 [ 14 C], deuterium [ 2 H], tritium [ 3 H], iodine-121 [ 121 I], or another radioisotope, has been introduced synthetically are useful diagnostic agents for identifying areas of the brain or central nervous system that may be affected by disorders where GlyT-1 is implicated.
The present invention provides compositions containing the compounds described herein, including, in particular, pharmaceutical compositions comprising therapeutically effective amounts of the compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide kits having a plurality of active ingredients (with or without carrier) which, together, may be effectively utilized for carrying out the novel combination therapies of the invention.
It is another object of the invention to provide a novel pharmaceutical composition which is effective, in and of itself, for utilization in a beneficial combination therapy because it includes a plurality of active ingredients which may be utilized in accordance with the invention.
The present invention also provides kits or single packages combining two or more active ingredients useful in treating the disease. A kit may provide (alone or in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier) the compounds of formula (I) and the additional active ingredient (alone or in combination with diluent or carrier), as described above.
In practice, the compounds of the present invention may generally be administered parenterally, intravenously, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, colonically, nasally, intraperitoneally, rectally, topically (including dermal, buccal, sublingual and intraocular) or orally. The most suitable route may depend on the condition and disorder of the recipient. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. Such methods include the step of bringing into association a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof (“active ingredient”) with the carrier, which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation.
The products according to the present invention may be presented in forms permitting administration by the most suitable route and the invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one product according to the invention which are suitable for use in human or veterinary medicine. These compositions may be prepared according to the customary methods, using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants or excipients. The adjuvants comprise, inter alia, diluents, sterile aqueous media, and the various non-toxic organic solvents. The compositions may be presented in the form of tablets, pills, granules, powders, aqueous solutions or suspensions, injectable solutions, elixirs or syrups, and can contain one or more agents chosen from the group comprising sweeteners, flavorings, colorings, or stabilizers in order to obtain pharmaceutically acceptable preparations.
The choice of vehicle and the content of active substance in the vehicle are generally determined in accordance with the solubility and chemical properties of the product, the particular mode of administration and the provisions to be observed in pharmaceutical practice. For example, excipients such as lactose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate and disintegrating agents such as starch, alginic acids and certain complex silicates combined with lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, and talc may be used for preparing tablets. To prepare a capsule, it is advantageous to use lactose and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions are used they can contain emulsifying agents or agents which facilitate suspension. Diluents such as sucrose, ethanol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, and chloroform or mixtures thereof may also be used.
For parenteral administration, emulsions, suspensions, or solutions of the products according to the invention in vegetable oil, for example sesame oil, groundnut oil, or olive oil, or aqueous-organic solutions such as water and propylene glycol, injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate, as well as sterile aqueous solutions of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are used. The solutions of the salts of the products according to the invention are especially useful for administration by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The aqueous solutions, also comprising solutions of the salts in pure distilled water, may be used for intravenous administration with the proviso that their pH is suitably adjusted, that they are judiciously buffered and rendered isotonic with a sufficient quantity of glucose or sodium chloride, and that they are sterilized by heating, irradiation, or microfiltration.
Suitable compositions containing the compounds of the present invention may be prepared by conventional means. For example, compounds of the present invention may be dissolved or suspended in a suitable carrier for use in a nebulizer or a suspension or solution aerosol, or may be absorbed or adsorbed onto a suitable solid carrier for use in a dry powder inhaler.
Solid compositions for rectal administration include suppositories formulated in accordance with known methods and containing at least one compound of formula (I).
Formulations suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary, or paste.
A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, lubricating, surface active, or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored and may be formulated so as to provide sustained, delayed, or controlled release of the active ingredient therein. The pharmaceutical compositions may include a “pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier”, and this expression is intended to include one or more inert excipients, which include starches, polyols, granulating agents, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like. If desired, tablet dosages of the disclosed compositions may be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. “Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” also encompasses controlled release means.
Pharmaceutical compositions may also optionally include other therapeutic ingredients, anti-caking agents, preservatives, sweetening agents, colorants, flavors, desiccants, plasticizers, dyes and the like. Any such optional ingredient must be compatible with the compound of formula Ito ensure the stability of the formulation. The composition may contain other additives as needed, including for example lactose, glucose, fructose, galactose, tehalose, sucrose, maltose, raffinose, maltitol, melezitose, stachyose, lactitol, palatinate, starch, xylitol, mannitol, myoinostiol and the like and hydrates thereof, and amino acids, for example alanine, glycine, and betaine, and peptides and proteins, for example albumen.
Examples of excipients for use as the pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and the pharmaceutically acceptable inert carriers and the aforementioned additional ingredients include, but are not limited to binders, fillers, disintegrants, lubricants, antimicrobial agents, and coating agents.
The percentage of active ingredient in the compositions of the present invention may be varied, it being necessary that it should constitute a proportion such that a suitable dosage shall be obtained. Obviously, several unit dosage forms may be administered at about the same time. The dose employed will be determined by the physician, and depends upon the desired therapeutic effect, the route of administration and the duration of the treatment, and the condition of the patient. In the adult, the doses are generally from about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg body weight, preferably about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg body weight per day by inhalation, from about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg body weight, preferably 0.1 to 70 mg/kg body weight, more especially 0.5 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day by oral administration, and from about 0.01 to about 50 mg/kg body weight, preferably 0.01 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day by intravenous administration. In each particular case, the doses will be determined in accordance with the factors distinctive to the subject to be treated, such as age, weight, general state of health, and other characteristics which can influence the efficacy of the medicinal product.
The products according to the present invention may be administered as frequently as necessary in order to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Some patients may respond rapidly to a higher or lower dose and may find much weaker maintenance doses adequate. For other patients, it may be necessary to have long-term treatments at the rate of 1 to 4 doses per day, in accordance with the physiological requirements of each particular patient. Generally, the active product may be administered orally 1 to 4 times per day. It goes without saying that, for other patients, it will be necessary to prescribe not more than one or two doses per day.
The present invention provides compounds which inhibit synaptic glycine uptake and are, therefore, believed to be useful in treating a disorder which is created by NMDA receptor hypofunction. The concentrations or doses at which a test compound inhibits synaptic glycine uptake are readily determined by the use of standard assay and techniques well known and appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the degree of inhibition at a particular dose in rats can be determined by the method of Dudley, J Pharmacol Exp Ther, 217:834-840 (1981), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The therapeutically effective inhibitory dose is one that is effective in substantially inhibiting synaptic glycine uptake. The therapeutically effective inhibitory dose can be determined by those skilled in the art by using conventional range finding techniques and analogous results obtained in the test systems described above.
Compounds of this invention provide a particularly beneficial therapeutic index relative to other compounds available for the treatment of similar disorders. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that this is due, at least in part, to GlyT-1 inhibitors indirectly impacting NMDA receptor function.
The in vitro and in vivo affinity of the compounds to GlyT-1 is demonstrated by means well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, including, without limitation, those described in the Examples section below.

Preparation of 1-Methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-sulfonyl chloride (57)
Step A: To an ice-cooled solution of sodium 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-thiolate (30, 1.0 g, 8.13 in EtOH (10 mL) was added benzyl bromide (1.4 g, 8.13 mmol) drop-wise. The mixture stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes then diluted with EtOAc and washed with water (10 mL), brine (10 mL), dried over Na 2 SO 4 , filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 4-(benzylthio)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole as a white solid (55, 1.5 g, 93%); 1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ 13.37 (bs, 1H), 7.48 (s, 1H), 7.21 (m, 5H), 4.09 (s, 2H).
Step B: To a 4-(benzylthio)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (140 g, 732 mmol) in DMF (1.4 L) at 0° C. was added K 2 CO 3 (126 g, 1.6 mol) followed by dimethylsulfate (202 g, 1.4 mol) drop wise. Then the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Then the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and dissolved in CH 2 Cl 2 (1 L), washed with H 2 O (1 L), dried over Na 2 SO 4 , filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was chromatographed over silica gel (Isco CombiFlash Companion unit, 9:1 mixture of CH 2 Cl 2 /CH 3 OH) to give 4-(benzylthio)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole as a white solid (56, 34.1 g, 23%): 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ 7.27 (m, 6H), 4.09 (s, 2H), 3.98 (s, 3H).
Step C: To a 0° C. cooled mixture of 4-(benzylthio)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (4.2 g, 26.4 mmol), CH 3 CN (200 mL), HOAc (7.5 mL) and H 2 O (5 mL) was added 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (8.0 g, 40.9 mmol) portion wise so as to maintain the internal temperature of the reaction below 5° C. Upon complete addition, the mixture stirred for an additional for 2 h at 0° C., then quenched slowly with the additional of aqueous 5% NaHCO 3 solution (100 mL). The resulting mixture stirred for 15 minutes and was then diluted with CH 2 Cl 2 (500 mL). The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over Na 2 SO 4 , filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude 1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-sulfonyl chloride (7.4 g) was used as is in the next step without further purification or characterization.

In Vitro [ 3 H]Glycine Uptake Assay
The inhibitory activity of compounds of the invention against the glycine transporter-1 (GlyT-1) can be determined by the following scintillation proximity assay. The potency of each compound was assessed in inhibiting the uptake of radiolabeled glycine ([ 14 C]glycine) using the human choriocarcinoma cell line, JAR cells (ATCC#HTB-144), which endogenously express GlyT-1. In brief, 50,000 JARS cells were plated per well of tissue culture treated 96-well Cytostar-T plate (PerkinElmer) in RPMI media supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS and allowed to attach overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO 2 . Compounds were serially diluted 3-fold in DMSO generating a nine (9) data point response curve for each compound. Two replicates were performed per determination. The compounds were then diluted into Uptake Buffer (10 mM Hepes, 120 mM NaCl, 2 mM KCl, 1 mM CaCl 2 and 1 mM MgCl 2 , 5 mM Alanine, pH 7.4) with a final DMSO concentration of 0.75% (v/v). Following the overnight incubation, the media was replaced with Uptake Buffer in the presence or absence of diluted compound and pre-incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes prior to the addition of [ 14 C]glycine at a final concentration of 5 μM. Following a 3 hour incubation period at 37° C. and 5% CO 2 , the plates were sealed and placed at room temperature in the dark for 15 minutes prior to quantification of incorporated radioactivity using a MicroBeta Trilux scintillation plate reader (PerkinElmer). Data were fit into a four-parameter model to determine the inhibitor concentration at half-maximal response (IC 50 ). The assay window was established by control wells incubated with [ 14 C]glycine in the presence or absence of 10 mM non-labeled glycine. A dose response curve for a synthesized reference standard was generated on every plate as a positive control.
Selectivity for GlyT-1 versus glycine transporter-2 (GlyT-2) was established using a GlyT-2 transfected cell model. The cDNA for the human gene of GlyT-2 (SLC6A5—solute carrier family 6, member 5; Accession #NM — 004211 was synthesized (Enzymax LLC) and sub-cloned into mammalian expression vector, pcDNA3.1 (Invitrogen Corp.) using standard molecular biology techniques. HEK293 cells (ATCC #CRL-1573) transfected with pcDNA3.1 (Invitrogen Corp.) were selected for stable incorporation of the construct by resistance to the selective pressure of Geneticin (450 μg/mL; Invitrogen Corp.). A polyclonal HEK-GlyT2 cell population was used in the [ 14 C]glycine uptake assay previously described to evaluate the activity of the compounds of the invention with the following protocol modifications. The HEK-GlyT-2 cells were plated in Poly-L-Lysine coated Cytostar-T plates in DMEM media supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS. After an overnight incubation at 37° C. and 5% CO 2 , the media was removed and the assay was conducted as described above. Compounds of the invention were diluted in Uptake Buffer and tested against JAR or HEK-GlyT-2 cells in parallel to evaluate relative potency and selectivity for GlyT-1 versus GlyT-2. The inhibitory activity and selectivity results for the compounds in Table 1 are shown in Table 2, below:

Example 64
CSF-Glycine Assay
This study measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glycine levels after oral administration of test compound. Drug naïve rats were administered vehicle or a dose of the test compound orally and sacrificed after 30 or 120 minutes. After the specified pretreatment time, the rats were euthanized by CO 2 asphyxiation and a hypodermic needle was inserted into the cisterna magna to withdraw 50-100 μl of CSF. The CSF was diluted with deuterated-glycine as an internal standard glycine was quantified by LC/MS/MS. The results for particular compounds in Table 1 are shown below:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for the treatment of various neurological and psychological disorders, and the use of the compounds in combination therapy. In particular, the present invention relates to such compounds, compositions, and methods, where the compounds are novel glycine transporter-1 (GlyT-1) inhibitors.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Schizophrenia is a chronic and devastating mental illness that affects approximately 1% of the world's population (Andreasen, Brain Res. Rev., 31:106 (2000)). Over 2.2 million adults age 18 years and older in the United States are diagnosed with schizophrenia, which is approximately twice the number of people stricken with Alzheimer's disease and virtually six times more than those diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes. Men and women are affected equally and the incident rate is nearly the same for all countries and ethnic groups throughout the world, ranking the disease among the top ten causes of disability worldwide (Andreasen, Brain Res. Rev., 31:106 (2000)).
The symptoms of schizophrenia generally appear in late adolescence or early adulthood and can be grouped into three specific categories. These include positive symptoms (auditory and visual hallucinations, disorganized thoughts and speech, delusions and irrational fears), negative symptoms (social withdrawal, adhedonia, blunted affect, lack of energy and catatonia), and cognitive dysfunction (diminished capacity for learning and memory, attention, vigilance and social cognition). Negative symptoms and especially cognitive impairment are considered to be the primary contributors to poor social functioning, the inability to work, lack of independent living skills and poor quality of life for nearly all patients (Andreasen, Brain Res. Rev., 31:106 (2000)).
The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor is an ionotropic glutamate receptor involved in fast excitatory neurotransmission, which plays a key role in a variety of CNS functions, most notably long term potentiation (LTP) and neuronal plasticity. A growing body of evidence is emerging that suggests glutamatergic neurotransmission is playing a key role in the etiology of the schizophrenia. The “glutamate hypothesis” originated from the discovery that the non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonists ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP) induce positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms in healthy individuals and exacerbate symptoms in stable patients (Coyle, Cell. Mol. Neurobiol., 26:365 (2006)). These observations suggest that NMDA receptor hypofunction is playing a critical role in schizophrenia (Coyle, Cell. Mol. Neurobiol., 26:365 (2006); Millan, Psychopharmacology, 179:30 (2005)). Thus, agents that can enhance receptor function may effectively ameliorate the full symptomology of psychosis. Direct agonism is not a viable approach as it leads to excitotoxicity (M. J. Marino, et. al., J. Med. Chem., 51:1077 (2008)). Consequently, several strategies to indirectly potentiate the receptor and avoid toxic side effects are being investigated (M. J. Marino, et. al., J. Med. Chem., 51:1077 (2008); Hui, et. al., Recent Pat. CNS Drug Discov., 4:220 (2009); Stone, et. al., CNS Neurol. Diord. Drug Targets, 6:265 (2007); Gray, et. al., Mol. Psychiatry, 12:904 (2007)).
Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter at strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors (GlyA site) and an excitatory neurotransmitter at the glycine modulatory site located on the NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor (GlyB site). It is an obligatory co-agonist that allows glutamate to bind and stimulate the receptor (Harsing Jr., et. al., Current Med. Chem., 13:1017 (2006)). Thus, a method to potentiate NMDA receptor function would be to increase synaptic glycine concentrations at the GlyB site. Studies show that patients experience improvement of negative symptoms when administered glycine (0.8 g/kg/day) or D-serine (a GlyB site agonist, 0.03 g/kg/day) in conjunction with clozapine (Javitt, Biol. Psychiatry, 63:6 (2008). Large doses of these amino acids were required due to poor pharmacokinetics (PK) and CNS-penetrance; however these encouraging results provided an impetus to discover alternative approaches for increasing synaptic glycine levels.
Two high-affinity transporters that regulate synaptic glycine concentrations have been identified: GlyT-1 and GlyT-2 (Harsing Jr., et. al., Current Med. Chem., 13:1017 (2006)). Both share a high level of homology across species and approximate 50% homology with each other. Glycine transporters belong to the Na + /Cl − solute carrier 6 (SLC6) family, which includes the dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE), leucine, taurine, proline, and GABA transporters. GlyT-2 is expressed in the brainstem and spinal chord and is co-localized with strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors. GlyT-1 is primarily expressed in neuronal and glial cells of the forebrain and is largely co-localized with NMDA receptors (Harsing Jr., et. al., Current Med. Chem., 13:1017 (2006)). Thus, inhibition of GlyT-1 provides an opportunity to elevate glycine levels within close proximity to the GlyB site.
Knockout studies reveal that complete, homozygous GlyT-1 (−/−) knockout in mice is neonatally lethal, however heterozygous GlyT-1 (+/−) mice survive to adulthood and display enhanced NMDA receptor function in the hippocampus, better memory retention and no disruption in sensory gating when dosed with amphetamine (Gomeza, et. al., Handb. Exp. Pharmacols., 457 (2006)).
A small placebo controlled study was conducted whereby 20 stably treated schizophrenic patients were given sarcosine, a weak but selective GlyT-1 inhibitor, at a dose of 2 g per day. Patients exhibited improvement with negative and cognitive symptoms (Lane, et. al., Biol. Psychiatry, 63:9 (2009)).
Some glycine transporter-1 inhibitors are known in the art and have been reported to be efficacious in animal models predictive of antipsychotic activity. A handful of GlyT-1 inhibitors have advanced into Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III clinical studies. However, there is a need for other GlyT-1 inihibitors efficacious in the treatment of neurological and psychological disorders. The present invention is directed to achieving this objective.

As used above, and throughout the description of the invention, the following terms, unless otherwise indicated, shall be understood to have the following meanings:
The term “alkyl” means an aliphatic hydrocarbon group which may be straight or branched having about 1 to about 6 carbon atoms in the chain. Branched means that one or more lower alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, or propyl are attached to a linear alkyl chain. Representative alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, and 3-pentyl and the like.
When an alkyl is substituted from 1 to 3 times with halogen, the substituted groups include CF 3 , CF 2 H, CH 2 CF 3 , CH 2 CF 2 H, and the like.
The term “gem-dialkyl” means two identical alkyl groups that substitute the two hydrogen atoms on a methylene group. Representative gem-dialkyl groups include gem-dimethyl, gem-diethyl, gem-dipropyl, and the like.
The term “alkenyl” means an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing a carbon-carbon double bond and which may be straight or branched having 2 to about 6 carbon atoms in the chain. Preferred alkenyl groups have 2 to about 4 carbon atoms in the chain. Branched means that one or more lower alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, or propyl are attached to a linear alkenyl chain. Representative alkenyl groups include ethenyl, propenyl, n-butenyl, i-butenyl, and the like.
The term “alkynyl” means an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing a carbon-carbon triple bond and which may be straight or branched having 2 to about 6 carbon atoms in the chain. Preferred alkynyl groups have 2 to about 4 carbon atoms in the chain. Branched means that one or more lower alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, or propyl are attached to a linear alkynyl chain. Representative alkynyl groups include ethynyl, propynyl, n-butynyl, 2-butynyl, 3-methylbutynyl, n-pentynyl, and the like.
The term “cycloalkyl” means a non-aromatic monocyclic ring system of about 3 to about 8 carbon atoms. Representative monocyclic cycloalkyl include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, and the like.
The term “cycloalkylalkyl” means a cycloalkyl-alkyl-group in which the cycloalkyl and alkyl are as defined herein. Representative cycloalkylalkyl groups include cyclopropylmethyl, cyclobutylmethyl, cyclopentylmethyl, and the like.

The term “gem-dihalo” means two halogen groups that substitute the two hydrogen atoms on a methylene group. Representative gem-dihalo groups include gem-difluoro, gem-dichloro, gem-dibromo, and gem-diiodo.
The term “aryl” means an aromatic monocyclic or multicyclic ring system of 6 to about 14 carbon atoms, preferably of 6 to about 10 carbon atoms. In the case of a multicyclic ring system, only one of the rings needs to be aromatic for the ring system to be defined as “aryl”. Representative aryl groups include phenyl, naphthyl, indenyl, indanyl:
and the like.
The term “heteroaryl” means a means an aromatic monocyclic or multicyclic ring system of 6 to about 14 carbon atoms, preferably 5 to 10, in which one or more of the atoms in the ring system is/are element(s) other than carbon, for example, nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur. In the case of multicyclic ring systems, only one of the rings needs to be aromatic for the ring system to be defined as “heteroaryl”. The prefix aza, oxa, or thio before heterocycle means that at least a nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur atom, respectively, is present as a ring atom. A nitrogen atom of a heteroaryl is optionally oxidized to the corresponding N-oxide. A sulfur atom of a heteroaryl is optionally oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxide or sulfone. Representative aromatic monocyclic ring systems include pyrrole, 1H-pyrazole, pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, 2-oxo-pyridin-1(2H)-yl, 6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-yl, pyrazinyl, triazinyl, pyranyl, furanyl, pyrrolyl, thiophenyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, 1H-1,2,3-triazolyl, 2H-1,2,3-triazolyl, 4H-1,2,4-triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, tetrazolyl, and the like. For lactam analogues of “aromatic monocyclic heterocycles” such as pyridin-2(1H)-one, pyridazin-3(2H)-one, and the like, when these lactams are structurally connected through the nitrogen atom adjacent to the lactam carbonyl, these lactams of aromatic monocyclic heterocycle are considered as “aromatic monocyclic heterocycle” in this invention. In addition, when a nitrogen containing heterocyle is substituted by hydroxyl group on the carbon adjacent to the nitrogen, the substituted heterocycle can be named as either tautomer as exemplified by the following examples:
Two non-adjacent carbons of the ring
may form a —CH 2 — or —CH 2 CH 2 — bridge as exemplified by the following examples:
The term “heterocycle” means a nonaromatic, monocyclic ring system of about 4 to 8 ring atoms, preferably 5 or 6, in which one or more of the atoms in the ring system is/are element(s) other than carbon, for example, nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur. The prefix aza, oxa, or thio before the heterocycle means that at least a nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur atom, respectively, is present as a ring atom. A nitrogen atom in the ring is optionally oxidized to the corresponding N-oxide. A sulfur atom of a heterocycle is optionally oxidized to either the sulfoxide or sulfone. Representative monocyclic heterocycles include pyrrolidine, piperidine, piperazine, tetrahydrofuran, pyran, tetrahydropyran, oxetane, and the like.
The term “substituted” or “substitution” of an atom means that one or more hydrogen on the designated atom is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valency is not exceeded. “Unsubstituted” atoms bear all of the hydrogen atoms dictated by their valency. When a substituent is keto or oxo (i.e., ═O), then two hydrogens on the atom are replaced. When a substituent is thio (i.e., ═S), then two hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds; by “stable compound” or “stable structure” is meant a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.
The term “compounds of the invention”, and equivalent expressions, are meant to embrace compounds of general formula (I) as hereinbefore described, which expression includes the prodrugs, the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and the solvates, e.g. hydrates, where the context so permits. Similarly, reference to intermediates, whether or not they themselves are claimed, is meant to embrace their salts and solvates, where the context so permits. For the sake of clarity, particular instances when the context so permits are sometimes indicated in the text, but these instances are purely illustrative and it is not intended to exclude other instances when the context so permits.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” means the relatively non-toxic, inorganic and organic acid addition salts, and base addition salts, of compounds of the present invention. These salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds. In particular, acid addition salts can be prepared by separately reacting the purified compound in its free base form with a suitable organic or inorganic acid and isolating the salt thus formed. Representative acid addition salts include the hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, nitrate, acetate, oxalate, valerate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, borate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, citrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, tartrate, naphthylate, mesylate, glucoheptonate, lactiobionate, sulphamates, malonates, salicylates, propionates, methylene-bis-b-hydroxynaphthoates, gentisates, isethionates, di-p-toluoyltartrates, methane-sulphonates, ethanesulphonates, benzenesulphonates, p-toluenesulphonates, cyclohexylsulphamates, and quinateslaurylsulphonate salts, and the like. (See, for example Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 66:1-sup.19 (1977) and Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed, p. 1418, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa. (1985), which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.) Base addition salts can also be prepared by separately reacting the purified compound in its acid form with a suitable organic or inorganic base and isolating the salt thus formed. Base addition salts include pharmaceutically acceptable metal and amine salts. Suitable metal salts include the sodium, potassium, calcium, barium, zinc, magnesium, and aluminum salts. The sodium and potassium salts are preferred. Suitable inorganic base addition salts are prepared from metal bases which include, for example, sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and zinc hydroxide. Suitable amine base addition salts are prepared from amines which have sufficient basicity to form a stable salt, and preferably include the following amines which are frequently used in medicinal chemistry because of their low toxicity and acceptability for medical use: ammonia, ethylenediamine, N-methyl-glucamine, lysine, arginine, ornithine, choline, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, diethanolamine, procaine, N-benzylphenethylamine, diethylamine, piperazine, tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, triethylamine, dibenzylamine, ephenamine, dehydroabietylamine, N-ethylpiperidine, benzylamine, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, ethylamine, basic amino acids, e.g., lysine and arginine, and dicyclohexylamine, and the like.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs” as used herein means those prodrugs of the compounds useful according to the present invention which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals with undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and effective for their intended use, as well as the zwitterionic forms, where possible, of the compounds of the invention. The term “prodrug” means compounds that are rapidly transformed in vivo to yield the parent compound of the above formula, for example by hydrolysis in blood. Functional groups which may be rapidly transformed, by metabolic cleavage, in vivo form a class of groups reactive with the carboxyl group of the compounds of this invention. They include, but are not limited to, such groups as alkanoyl (such as acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, and the like), unsubstituted and substituted aroyl (such as benzoyl and substituted benzoyl), alkoxycarbonyl (such as ethoxycarbonyl), trialkylsilyl (such as trimethyl- and triethysilyl), monoesters formed with dicarboxylic acids (such as succinyl), and the like. Because of the ease with which the metabolically cleavable groups of the compounds useful according to this invention are cleaved in vivo, the compounds bearing such groups act as prodrugs. The compounds bearing the metabolically cleavable groups have the advantage that they may exhibit improved bioavailability as a result of enhanced solubility and/or rate of absorption conferred upon the parent compound by virtue of the presence of the metabolically cleavable group. A thorough discussion of prodrugs is provided in the following: Bundgaard, ed., Design of Prodrugs , Elsevier (1985); Widder et al., Methods in Enzymology , ed., Academic Press, 42:309-396 (1985); “Design and Applications of Prodrugs,” Krogsgaard-Larsen, ed., A Textbook of Drug Design and Development , Chapter 5:113-191 (1991); Bundgaard, “ Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews,” 8:1-38 (1992); Bundgaard et al., Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 77:285 (1988); Nakeya et al., Chem.

Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate, and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups in the compounds of the invention.
The term “therapeutically effective amounts” is meant to describe an amount of compound of the present invention effective in increasing the levels of glycine at the synapse and thus producing the desired therapeutic effect. Such amounts generally vary according to a number of factors well within the purview of ordinarily skilled artisans given the description provided herein to determine and account for. These include, without limitation: the particular subject, as well as its age, weight, height, general physical condition, and medical history, the particular compound used, as well as the carrier in which it is formulated and the route of administration selected for it; and, the nature and severity of the condition being treated.
The term “pharmaceutical composition” means a composition comprising compounds of formula (I) and at least one component selected from the group comprising pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, adjuvants, excipients, or vehicles, such as preserving agents, fillers, disintegrating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, perfuming agents, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents, lubricating agents, and dispensing agents, depending on the nature of the mode of administration and dosage forms. Examples of suspending agents include ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, and tragacanth, or mixtures of these substances. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be ensured by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, for example sugars, sodium chloride, and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought about by the use of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin. Examples of suitable carriers, diluents, solvents, or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols, suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Examples of excipients include lactose, milk sugar, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, and dicalcium phosphate. Examples of disintegrating agents include starch, alginic acids, and certain complex silicates. Examples of lubricants include magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulphate, talc, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means it is, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the cells of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms” means dosage forms of the compound of the invention, and includes, for example, tablets, dragees, powders, elixirs, syrups, liquid preparations, including suspensions, sprays, inhalants tablets, lozenges, emulsions, solutions, granules, capsules. and suppositories, as well as liquid preparations for injections, including liposome preparations.

The NMDA receptor plays a critical role in several CNS processes and dysfunction of this receptor is implicated in a variety of psychiatric diseases in humans. The function of GlyT-1 transporters is to modulate synaptic glycine levels in localized areas near to the NMDA receptor Inhibition of GlyT-1 will retard glycine removal and cause an increase in synaptic glycine levels. This increases binding to the GlyB site on the NMDA receptor, which in turn increases activation of the NMDA receptor following glutamate release from the pre-synaptic terminal Changes in NMDA receptor-mediated neurotransmission have been implicated in certain neuropsychiatric disorders such as dementia, depression, and psychoses, for example schizophrenia, and learning and memory disorders, for example attention deficit disorders and autism.
The compounds of the present invention have utility in treating a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with glutamatergic neurotransmission dysfunction, including one or more of the following conditions or diseases: schizophrenia or psychosis including schizophrenia (paranoid, disorganized, catatonic or undifferentiated), schizophreniform disorder, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, brief psychotic disorder, shared psychotic disorder, psychotic disorder due to a general medical condition and substance-induced or drug-induced (phenylcyclidine, ketamine and dissociative anaesthetic, amphetamine and other psychostimulants and cocaine), psychosis psychotic disorder, psychosis associated with affective disorders, brief reactive psychosis, schizoaffective psychosis, “schizophrenia-spectrum” disorders such as schizoid or schizotypical personality disorders, or illness associated with psychosis (such as major depression, manic depressive (bipolar) disorder, Alzheimer's disease and post-traumatic stress syndrome), including both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia and other psychoses; cognitive disorders including dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease, ischemia, multi-infarct dementia, trauma, vascular problems or stroke, HIV disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Pick's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, perinatal hypoxia, other general medical conditions or substance abuse; cognition impairment, delirium, amnestic disorders or age related cognitive decline; anxiety disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, bipolar disorder or manic depression or manic-depressive disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress disorder, social phobia, simple phobias, pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), major depressive disorder (MDD), postnatal depression, dysthymia, depression associated with Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, supranuclear palsy, eating disorders, obesity, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, diabetes, ischemic diseases, pain, substance abuse disorders, chemical dependencies, nicotine addiction, cocaine addiction, amphetamine addiction, alcohol addiction, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson's disease, late luteal phase syndrome or narcolepsy, insomnia, anger, rejection sensitivity, movement disorders, extrapyramidal syndrome, chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, Tic disorders, Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome, epilepsy, restless leg syndrome (RLS), tardive dyskinesia, supranuclear palsy, sleep related eating disorder (SRED), night eating syndrome (NES), stress urinary incontinence (SUI), migraine, neuropathic pain, diabetic neuropathy, lower back pain, fibromyalgia syndrome (FS), osteoarthritis pain, arthritis pain, chronic pain with memory impairment, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), emesis, hearing impairment, tinnitus, urinary incontinence, ocular damage, retinopathy or macular degeneration of the eye, drug induced parkinsonism; NMDA receptor-related disorders such as autism, depression, benign forgetfulness and childhood learning disorders.
The compounds provided herein are particularly useful in the treatment of these and other disorders due, at least in part, to their ability to selectively bind to the GlyT-1 with a greater affinity than to the transporter proteins for other neurochemicals.

It will be appreciated that compounds according to the present invention may contain asymmetric centers. These asymmetric centers may independently be in either the R or S configuration and such compounds are able to rotate a plane of polarized light in a polarimeter. If said plane of polarized light is caused by the compound to rotate in a counterclockwise direction, the compound is said to be the (−) stereoisomer of the compound. If said plane of polarized light is caused by the compound to rotate in a clockwise direction, the compound is said to be the (+) stereoisomer of the compound. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that certain compounds useful according to the invention may also exhibit geometrical isomerism. It is to be understood that the present invention includes individual geometrical isomers and stereoisomers and mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures, of compounds of formula (I) herein above. Such isomers can be separated from their mixtures, by the application or adaptation of known methods, for example chromatographic techniques and recrystallization techniques, or they are separately prepared from the appropriate isomers of their intermediates.
Radiolabeled compounds of the invention are synthesized by a number of techniques well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, e.g., by using starting materials incorporating therein one or more radioisotopes. Compounds of the present invention where a stable radioisotope, such as carbon-14 [ 14 C], deuterium [ 2 H], tritium [ 3 H], iodine-121 [ 121 I], or another radioisotope, has been introduced synthetically are useful diagnostic agents for identifying areas of the brain or central nervous system that may be affected by disorders where GlyT-1 is implicated.
The present invention provides compositions containing the compounds described herein, including, in particular, pharmaceutical compositions comprising therapeutically effective amounts of the compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide kits having a plurality of active ingredients (with or without carrier) which, together, may be effectively utilized for carrying out the novel combination therapies of the invention.
It is another object of the invention to provide a novel pharmaceutical composition which is effective, in and of itself, for utilization in a beneficial combination therapy because it includes a plurality of active ingredients which may be utilized in accordance with the invention.
The present invention also provides kits or single packages combining two or more active ingredients useful in treating the disease. A kit may provide (alone or in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier) the compounds of formula (I) and the additional active ingredient (alone or in combination with diluent or carrier), as described above.
In practice, the compounds of the present invention may generally be administered parenterally, intravenously, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, colonically, nasally, intraperitoneally, rectally, topically (including dermal, buccal, sublingual and intraocular) or orally. The most suitable route may depend on the condition and disorder of the recipient. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. Such methods include the step of bringing into association a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof (“active ingredient”) with the carrier, which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation.
The products according to the present invention may be presented in forms permitting administration by the most suitable route and the invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one product according to the invention which are suitable for use in human or veterinary medicine. These compositions may be prepared according to the customary methods, using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants or excipients. The adjuvants comprise, inter alia, diluents, sterile aqueous media, and the various non-toxic organic solvents. The compositions may be presented in the form of tablets, pills, granules, powders, aqueous solutions or suspensions, injectable solutions, elixirs or syrups, and can contain one or more agents chosen from the group comprising sweeteners, flavorings, colorings, or stabilizers in order to obtain pharmaceutically acceptable preparations.
The choice of vehicle and the content of active substance in the vehicle are generally determined in accordance with the solubility and chemical properties of the product, the particular mode of administration and the provisions to be observed in pharmaceutical practice. For example, excipients such as lactose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate and disintegrating agents such as starch, alginic acids and certain complex silicates combined with lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, and talc may be used for preparing tablets. To prepare a capsule, it is advantageous to use lactose and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions are used they can contain emulsifying agents or agents which facilitate suspension. Diluents such as sucrose, ethanol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, and chloroform or mixtures thereof may also be used.
For parenteral administration, emulsions, suspensions, or solutions of the products according to the invention in vegetable oil, for example sesame oil, groundnut oil, or olive oil, or aqueous-organic solutions such as water and propylene glycol, injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate, as well as sterile aqueous solutions of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are used. The solutions of the salts of the products according to the invention are especially useful for administration by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The aqueous solutions, also comprising solutions of the salts in pure distilled water, may be used for intravenous administration with the proviso that their pH is suitably adjusted, that they are judiciously buffered and rendered isotonic with a sufficient quantity of glucose or sodium chloride, and that they are sterilized by heating, irradiation, or microfiltration.
Suitable compositions containing the compounds of the present invention may be prepared by conventional means. For example, compounds of the present invention may be dissolved or suspended in a suitable carrier for use in a nebulizer or a suspension or solution aerosol, or may be absorbed or adsorbed onto a suitable solid carrier for use in a dry powder inhaler.
Solid compositions for rectal administration include suppositories formulated in accordance with known methods and containing at least one compound of formula (I).
Formulations suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary, or paste.
A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, lubricating, surface active, or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored and may be formulated so as to provide sustained, delayed, or controlled release of the active ingredient therein. The pharmaceutical compositions may include a “pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier”, and this expression is intended to include one or more inert excipients, which include starches, polyols, granulating agents, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like. If desired, tablet dosages of the disclosed compositions may be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. “Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” also encompasses controlled release means.
Pharmaceutical compositions may also optionally include other therapeutic ingredients, anti-caking agents, preservatives, sweetening agents, colorants, flavors, desiccants, plasticizers, dyes and the like. Any such optional ingredient must be compatible with the compound of formula Ito ensure the stability of the formulation. The composition may contain other additives as needed, including for example lactose, glucose, fructose, galactose, tehalose, sucrose, maltose, raffinose, maltitol, melezitose, stachyose, lactitol, palatinate, starch, xylitol, mannitol, myoinostiol and the like and hydrates thereof, and amino acids, for example alanine, glycine, and betaine, and peptides and proteins, for example albumen.
Examples of excipients for use as the pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and the pharmaceutically acceptable inert carriers and the aforementioned additional ingredients include, but are not limited to binders, fillers, disintegrants, lubricants, antimicrobial agents, and coating agents.
The percentage of active ingredient in the compositions of the present invention may be varied, it being necessary that it should constitute a proportion such that a suitable dosage shall be obtained. Obviously, several unit dosage forms may be administered at about the same time. The dose employed will be determined by the physician, and depends upon the desired therapeutic effect, the route of administration and the duration of the treatment, and the condition of the patient. In the adult, the doses are generally from about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg body weight, preferably about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg body weight per day by inhalation, from about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg body weight, preferably 0.1 to 70 mg/kg body weight, more especially 0.5 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day by oral administration, and from about 0.01 to about 50 mg/kg body weight, preferably 0.01 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day by intravenous administration. In each particular case, the doses will be determined in accordance with the factors distinctive to the subject to be treated, such as age, weight, general state of health, and other characteristics which can influence the efficacy of the medicinal product.
The products according to the present invention may be administered as frequently as necessary in order to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Some patients may respond rapidly to a higher or lower dose and may find much weaker maintenance doses adequate. For other patients, it may be necessary to have long-term treatments at the rate of 1 to 4 doses per day, in accordance with the physiological requirements of each particular patient. Generally, the active product may be administered orally 1 to 4 times per day. It goes without saying that, for other patients, it will be necessary to prescribe not more than one or two doses per day.
The present invention provides compounds which inhibit synaptic glycine uptake and are, therefore, believed to be useful in treating a disorder which is created by NMDA receptor hypofunction. The concentrations or doses at which a test compound inhibits synaptic glycine uptake are readily determined by the use of standard assay and techniques well known and appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the degree of inhibition at a particular dose in rats can be determined by the method of Dudley, J Pharmacol Exp Ther, 217:834-840 (1981), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The therapeutically effective inhibitory dose is one that is effective in substantially inhibiting synaptic glycine uptake. The therapeutically effective inhibitory dose can be determined by those skilled in the art by using conventional range finding techniques and analogous results obtained in the test systems described above.
Compounds of this invention provide a particularly beneficial therapeutic index relative to other compounds available for the treatment of similar disorders. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that this is due, at least in part, to GlyT-1 inhibitors indirectly impacting NMDA receptor function.
The in vitro and in vivo affinity of the compounds to GlyT-1 is demonstrated by means well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, including, without limitation, those described in the Examples section below.

Preparation of 1-Methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-sulfonyl chloride (57)
Step A: To an ice-cooled solution of sodium 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-thiolate (30, 1.0 g, 8.13 in EtOH (10 mL) was added benzyl bromide (1.4 g, 8.13 mmol) drop-wise. The mixture stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes then diluted with EtOAc and washed with water (10 mL), brine (10 mL), dried over Na 2 SO 4 , filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 4-(benzylthio)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole as a white solid (55, 1.5 g, 93%); 1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ 13.37 (bs, 1H), 7.48 (s, 1H), 7.21 (m, 5H), 4.09 (s, 2H).
Step B: To a 4-(benzylthio)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (140 g, 732 mmol) in DMF (1.4 L) at 0° C. was added K 2 CO 3 (126 g, 1.6 mol) followed by dimethylsulfate (202 g, 1.4 mol) drop wise. Then the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Then the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and dissolved in CH 2 Cl 2 (1 L), washed with H 2 O (1 L), dried over Na 2 SO 4 , filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was chromatographed over silica gel (Isco CombiFlash Companion unit, 9:1 mixture of CH 2 Cl 2 /CH 3 OH) to give 4-(benzylthio)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole as a white solid (56, 34.1 g, 23%): 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ 7.27 (m, 6H), 4.09 (s, 2H), 3.98 (s, 3H).
Step C: To a 0° C. cooled mixture of 4-(benzylthio)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (4.2 g, 26.4 mmol), CH 3 CN (200 mL), HOAc (7.5 mL) and H 2 O (5 mL) was added 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (8.0 g, 40.9 mmol) portion wise so as to maintain the internal temperature of the reaction below 5° C. Upon complete addition, the mixture stirred for an additional for 2 h at 0° C., then quenched slowly with the additional of aqueous 5% NaHCO 3 solution (100 mL). The resulting mixture stirred for 15 minutes and was then diluted with CH 2 Cl 2 (500 mL). The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over Na 2 SO 4 , filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude 1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-sulfonyl chloride (7.4 g) was used as is in the next step without further purification or characterization.

In Vitro [ 3 H]Glycine Uptake Assay
The inhibitory activity of compounds of the invention against the glycine transporter-1 (GlyT-1) can be determined by the following scintillation proximity assay. The potency of each compound was assessed in inhibiting the uptake of radiolabeled glycine ([ 14 C]glycine) using the human choriocarcinoma cell line, JAR cells (ATCC#HTB-144), which endogenously express GlyT-1. In brief, 50,000 JARS cells were plated per well of tissue culture treated 96-well Cytostar-T plate (PerkinElmer) in RPMI media supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS and allowed to attach overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO 2 . Compounds were serially diluted 3-fold in DMSO generating a nine (9) data point response curve for each compound. Two replicates were performed per determination. The compounds were then diluted into Uptake Buffer (10 mM Hepes, 120 mM NaCl, 2 mM KCl, 1 mM CaCl 2 and 1 mM MgCl 2 , 5 mM Alanine, pH 7.4) with a final DMSO concentration of 0.75% (v/v). Following the overnight incubation, the media was replaced with Uptake Buffer in the presence or absence of diluted compound and pre-incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes prior to the addition of [ 14 C]glycine at a final concentration of 5 μM. Following a 3 hour incubation period at 37° C. and 5% CO 2 , the plates were sealed and placed at room temperature in the dark for 15 minutes prior to quantification of incorporated radioactivity using a MicroBeta Trilux scintillation plate reader (PerkinElmer). Data were fit into a four-parameter model to determine the inhibitor concentration at half-maximal response (IC 50 ). The assay window was established by control wells incubated with [ 14 C]glycine in the presence or absence of 10 mM non-labeled glycine. A dose response curve for a synthesized reference standard was generated on every plate as a positive control.
Selectivity for GlyT-1 versus glycine transporter-2 (GlyT-2) was established using a GlyT-2 transfected cell model. The cDNA for the human gene of GlyT-2 (SLC6A5—solute carrier family 6, member 5; Accession #NM — 004211 was synthesized (Enzymax LLC) and sub-cloned into mammalian expression vector, pcDNA3.1 (Invitrogen Corp.) using standard molecular biology techniques. HEK293 cells (ATCC #CRL-1573) transfected with pcDNA3.1 (Invitrogen Corp.) were selected for stable incorporation of the construct by resistance to the selective pressure of Geneticin (450 μg/mL; Invitrogen Corp.). A polyclonal HEK-GlyT2 cell population was used in the [ 14 C]glycine uptake assay previously described to evaluate the activity of the compounds of the invention with the following protocol modifications. The HEK-GlyT-2 cells were plated in Poly-L-Lysine coated Cytostar-T plates in DMEM media supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS. After an overnight incubation at 37° C. and 5% CO 2 , the media was removed and the assay was conducted as described above. Compounds of the invention were diluted in Uptake Buffer and tested against JAR or HEK-GlyT-2 cells in parallel to evaluate relative potency and selectivity for GlyT-1 versus GlyT-2. The inhibitory activity and selectivity results for the compounds in Table 1 are shown in Table 2, below:

Example 64
CSF-Glycine Assay
This study measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glycine levels after oral administration of test compound. Drug naïve rats were administered vehicle or a dose of the test compound orally and sacrificed after 30 or 120 minutes. After the specified pretreatment time, the rats were euthanized by CO 2 asphyxiation and a hypodermic needle was inserted into the cisterna magna to withdraw 50-100 μl of CSF. The CSF was diluted with deuterated-glycine as an internal standard glycine was quantified by LC/MS/MS. The results for particular compounds in Table 1 are shown below:
