It has surprisingly been found that the compounds of general formula I are metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonists. Compounds of formula I are distinguished by valuable therapeutic properties.
In the central nervous system (CNS) the transmission of stimuli takes place by the interaction of a neurotransmitter, which is sent out by a neuron, with a neuroreceptor.
L-glutamic add, the most commonly occurring neurotransmitter in the CNS, plays a critical role in a large number of physiological processes. The glutamate-dependent

stimulus receptors are divided into two main groups. The first main group forms ligand-controfled ion channels. The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) form the second main group and, furthermore, belong to the femily of G-protein-coupled
receptors.
At present, eight different members of these mGluR are known and of these some even have sub-types. On the basis of structural parameters, the different influences on the synthesis of secondary metabolites and the different aflSnity to low-molecular weight chemical compounds, these eight receptors can be sub-divided into three sub-groups: mGluRl and mGluRS belong to group I, mGluR2 and mGluRS belong to group II and mGluR4, mGluR6, mGluR7 and mGluRS belong to group m.
ligands of metabotropic glutamate receptors belonging to the group 11 can be used for the treatment or prevention of acute and/or chronic neurological disorders such as psychosis, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, cognitive disorders and memory deficits.
Other treatable indications in this connection are restricted brain function caused by bypass operations or transplants, poor blood supply to the brain, spinal cord injuries, head injuries, hypoxia caused by pregnancy, cardiac arrest and hypoglycaemia, Further treatable indications are chronic and acute pain, Huntington's chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), dementia caused by AIDS, eye injuries, retinopathy, idiopathic parkinsonism or parkinsonism caused by medicaments as well as conditions which lead to glutamate-deficiency functions, such as e.g. muscle spasms, convulsions, migraine, minary incontinence, nicotine addiction, opiate addiction, anxiety, vomiting, dyskinesia and depressions.

The compounds of formula I can also be used in form of their prodrugs. Examples are esters, N-oxides, phosphate esters, glycoamide esters, glyceride conjugates and the like. The prodrugs may add to the value of the present compoimds advantages in absorption, pharmacokinetics in distribution and transport to the brain.

Other treatable indications are restricted brain function caused by bypass operations or transplants, poor blood supply to the brain, spinal cord injuries, head injuries, hypoxia caused by pregancy, cardiac arrest and hypoglycaemia. Further treatable indications are acute and chronic pain, Himtington's chorea, ALS, dementia caused by AIDS, eye injuries, retinopathy, idiopathic parkinsonism or parkinsonism caused by medicaments as well as conditions which lead to glutamate-defident functions, such as e.g. musde spasms, convulsions, migraine, urinary incontinence, nicotine addiction, psychoses, opiate addiction, anxiety, vomiting, dyskinesia and depression.
The compounds of formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be used as medicaments, e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical preparations. The pharmaceutical preparations can be administered orally, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions. However, the administration can also be effacted rectally, e.g. in the form of suppositories, or parenterally, e.g. in the form of injection solutions.
The compounds of formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be processed with pharmaceutically inert, inorganic or organic carriers for the production of pharmaceutical preparations. Lactose, com starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic add or its salts and the like can be used, for example, as such carriers for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable carriers for soft gelatine capsules are, for °Cample, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, semi-solid and liquid polyols and the like; depending on the nature of the active substance no carriers are, however, usually required in the case of soft gelatine capsules. Suitable carriers for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, sucrose, invert sugar, glucose and the like. Adjuvants, such as alcohols, polyols, glycerol, vegetable oils and the like, can be used for aqueous injection solutions of water-soluble salts of compounds of formula I,

but as a rule are not necessary. Suitable carriers for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats, semi-liquid or liquid polyols and the like.
In addition, the pharmaceutical preparations can contain preservatives, solubilizers, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorants, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, masking agents or antioxidants. They can also contain still other therapeutically valuable substances.
As mentioned earlier, medicaments containing a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a therapeutically inert excipient are also an object of the present invention, as is a process for the production of such medicaments which comprises bringing one or more compounds of formula I or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and, if desired, one or more other therapeutically valuable substances into a galenical dosage form together with one or more therapeutically inert carriers.
The dosage can vary within wide limits and will, of course, be fitted to the individual requirements in each particular case. In general, the effactive dosage for oral or parenteral administration is between 0.01-20 mg/kgday, with a dosage of 0.1-10 mg/ kg/day being preferred for all of the indications described. The daily dosage for an adult human being weighing 70 kg accordingly lies between 0.7-1400 mg per day, preferably between 7 and 700 mg per day.
The present invention relates also to the use of compounds of formula I and of pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for the production of medicaments, especially for the control or prevention of acute and/or chronic neurological disorders of the aforementioned kind.
The compounds of the present invention are group II mGlu receptor antagonists. The compotmds show activities, as measured in the assay described below, of 0.060 ^M or less, typically 0.025 ^M or less, and ideally of 0,010 jiM or less. In the table below are described some specific Ki values of preferred compounds.










3[H] -LY354740 binding on mGlii2 transfacted CHO cell membranes.
Transection and cell culture
cDNA encoding the rat mGlu2 receptor protein in pBluescript II was subdoned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA I-amp from Invitrogen (NV Leek, The Netherlands). This vector construct (pcDlmGR2) was co-transfacted with a psvNeo plasmid encoding the gene for neomycin resistance, into CHO cells by a modified calcium phosphate method described by Chen & Okayama (1988). The cells were maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle medium with reduced L-glutamine (2 mM final concentration) and 10 % dialysed foetal calf serum from Gibco BRL (Basel, Switzerland). Selection was made in the presence of G-418 (1000 ug/ml final). Clones were identified by reverse transcription of 5 µg total RNA, followed by PCR using mGlu2 receptor specific primers 5'-atcactgcttgggtttct°Cactg-3' and 5'-agcatcactgtgggggcataggagc-3' in 60 mM Tris HQ (pH 10), 15 mM (NH4)2S04,2 mM MgQ2,25 units/ml Taq Polymerase with 30 cydes annealing at 60 °C for 1 min., extention at 72 °C for 30 s, and 1 min. 95 °C denaturation.
Membrane preparation
Cells, cultured as above, were harvested and washed three times with cold PBS and firozen at -80 °C, The pellet was resuspended in cold 20 mM HEPES-NaOH buffer containing 10 mM EDTA (pH 7.4), and homogenised with a polytron (Kinematica, AG, Littau, Switzerland) for 10 s at 10 000 rpm. After centrifugation for 30 min. at 4 '°C, the pellet was washed once with the same buffer, and once with cold 20 mM HEPES-NaOH buffer containing 0.1 mM EDTA, (pH 7.4). Protein content was measured using the Pierce method (Socodiim, Lausanne, Switzerland) using bovine serum albumin as standard.
[^H]-LY354740 binding
After thawing, the membranes were resuspended in cold 50mM Tris-HCl buffer containing 2 mM MgCl2 and 2 mM CaCl2, (pH 7) (binding buffer). The final concentration of the membranes in the assays was 25µg protein/ml. Inhibition experiments were performed with membranes incubated with 10 nM [3H]-Ly354740 at room temperature, for 1 hour, in presence of various concentrations of the compound to be tested. Following the incubations, membranes were filtered onto Whatmann GF/C glass fiber filters and washed 5 times with cold binding buffer. Non specific binding was measured in the presence of 10 µM DCGIV. After transfer of the filters into plastic vials containing 10 ml of Ultima-gold scintillation fluid (Packard, Zurich, Switzerland), the radioactivity was measured by liquid scintillation in a Tri-Carb 2500 TR counter (Packard, Zurich, Switzerland).

Data analysis.
The inhibition curves were fitted with a four parameter logistic equation giving IC50
values, and Hill coefficients,
EXAMPLES
General procedure A

Method a (from 2-nitrnani1inP5;)! To a solution of diphosgene (4.1 mL, 34.1 mmol) in EtOAc (40 mL) at 0 was added a solution of the 2-nitroaniline (45.5 mmol) in EtOAc (200-500 mL), and the mixture was heated to reflux for 18 h. The solvent was removed in vacuum to leave a brown solid, which was triturated with hot hexane (200 mL), The solid material was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to leave the pure 2-nitrophenyl disocyanate as a yellow solid. This material was refluxed in a mixture of excess tert-BuOH in CH2CI2 for 2.5 h. Removal of the solvent left an orange solid which was purified by silica gel column chromatography with hexane/EtOAc to give the (2-nitro-phenyi)-carbamic add tert-butyl ester as a yellow solid.
Method b (from 2'nitroanilines): To a mixture of the 2-mtroaniline (142 mmol) and cesium carbonate (55.5 g, 170 mmol) in 2-butanone (740 mL) was dropwise added a solution of B0C2O (37.8 g, 173 mmol) in 2-butanone (170 mL) and the resulting mixture was stirred at 50 °C to 80 °C until tic indicated complete conversion. The solvent was removed in vacuum, the residue was treated with a mixture of H2O (240 mL) and MeOH (240 mL) and extracted with hexane (3 x 500 mL). The combined hexane layer was washed with brine (200 mL) and all aqueous layers were reextracted with hexane (300 mL). All combined hexane layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent was removed in vacuum to give an orange solid, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography with hexane/EtOAc to give the (2-nitro-phenyl)-carbamic add tert-butyl ester as a yellow solid.
Method c (from 2-nitroanilines'): To a solution of the 2-nitroaniline (550 mmol) and DMAP (1.22 g, 10 mmol) in THF (1000 mL) at 23 °C was dropwise added within 70 min a solution of B0C2O (246 g, 1128 mmol) in THF (500 mL) and stirring was continued at 23 °C for 75 min. The entire mixture was evaporated to dryness and dried at HV to leave a darlc brown solid. This material was dissolved in DCM (1100 mL), cooled to 0 °C and TFA (84 mL, 1100 namol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 2 h, poured into icecold sat NaHCOs-solution, extracted with DCM, washed witii brine and dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent in vacuum left a dark brown solid which was

coated on silica gel and purified by silica gel column chromatography "with hexane/EtOAc to give the (2-nitro-phenyl)-cafbamic acid tert-but)i ester as a yellow solid.
Method d f from 2-nitroacetanilides'): To a solution of the 2-nitroacetanilide (100 mmol) and DMAP (122 mg, 1 mmol) in THF (100 mL) at 23 °C was dropwise added within 15 min a solution of BocaO (22.92 g, 105 mmol) in THF (100 mL) and stirring was continued at 23 °C until tic indicated completed conversion. The entire mixture was evaporated to dryness and dried at HV to leave a yellow to dark brown solid. This material was dissolved in THF (200 mL) and 25 % NH4OH (77 mL, 500 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 23 °C until tic indicated complete conversion, poured into IN HCl-solution, extracted with EtOAc, washed the organic layer with sat. NaHCOs-solution and brine, dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent in vacuum left an yellow to brown solid which was generafly pur-e enough for futher transformation or - if necessary - coated on silica gd and purified by silica gel column chromatography with hexane/EtOAc to give the (2-nitro-phenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a yellow solid.
