The present invention relates tc a novel pyrazole derivative, to its salts and to the solvates cne:: eor , to a process for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
Patent applications EP-A-576 357, EP-A--553 546 and WO-97/19063 describe pyrazole derivatives with affinity for cannabinoid receptors. More particularly, patent appliction EP-A-656 354 describes N-piperidino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1 -(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methylpyrazole-3-carboxami.de, also known as SR 141 716, and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which have very good affinity for the central cannabinoid receptors.
Compounds similar to SR 141716 have been described in the literature, in particular N-piperidino-5-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methylpyrazole-3-carboxamide, referred to hereinbelow as compound A, which is described by B.F. Thomas et al. in J. Pharm. Exp, Therap., 1998, 285, 285-292.
The effects of cannabinoids are due to an interaction with specific high-affinity receptors present at the central level (Devane et al., Mol. Pharrnacol . , 1988, 34, 605-613) and at the peripheral

level. (Nye *••::. ai,, Fharmaco 1 . and Exper imental Ther., 1985, 23-1, ..... ••••J--79L ; Kamnski et al . , 1992, Mel. Pharmaco ; . , •-.;, 736-M3 ; Munr: et al . , Nature, 1993,

in which Alk represents a (C:-Ct) alkyl are novel and
form part of. the invention. Preferably, Alk represents
an ethyl.
The compound of formula (I) obtained by the process according to the invention is isolated, in the
form of the free base or of a salt or solvate, according to the conventional techniques.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound of formula (I) comprise the addition salts with acids, such as the hydrochloride, the hydrobromide, the sulphate, the hydrogen sulphate, the dihydrogen phosphate, the methanesulphonate, the methyl sulphate, t.he oxalate, the maleate, the fumarate, the

2-naphthaLenesulphonate, the glyconate, the gluconate, the citrate, the isethionate, the para-toluenesulphonate or the succinate.
The compound of formula (I) can be isolated in i:he form of one of its salts, for example the hydrochioride or the oxalate; in this case, the free base car. be prepared by neutralizing the said salt with an inorganic or organic base, such as sodium hydroxide or ammonium hydroxide, triethylamine or an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate such as sodium or potassium carbonate or bicarbonate, and converted into another salt such as the methanesulphonate, fumarate or 2 -naphthalenesulphonate.
When the compound of formula (I) is obtained in the form of the free base, the salification is carried out by treatment with the acid chosen in an organic solvent. By treating the free base, dissolved, for example, in an ether such as diethyl ether or in acetone, with a solution of the acid in the same solvent, the corresponding salt is obtained and is then isolated according to the conventional technicjues .
The compounds of formula (I) have very good in vitro affinity for the CBi cannabinoid receptors, under the experimental conditions described by Devane et al - , Mol. Pharmacol., 1988, 3.4, 605-613.
Thus, the compound according to the invention has very strong affinity for human CBi cannabinoid receptors (Ki = 5.4 riM) which compares favourably with

that of SF 141716 for the same receptors, determined under the same conditions (Ki = 34 nM),
'The compound according to the invention was also compared with N-piperidino-5-(4-bromophenyl)-1 - (2 , 4~u.ichi oropnenyl) - 4 -me thy Ipyrazole- 3 -carboxamide, (compound A). The affinity of this compound for human
C5. eanr.aoi.-iG. •; receptors, measured under the same
conditions, is reflected by a Ki value of 8 nM.
Moreover, the duration of occupation of the
CB: receptors present in the brain by the 3 compounds
below was compared:
- the compound of formula (I) according to the
invention,
- SR 141716,
- compound A.
The study was performed in vivo in mice,
after oral administration of each of the compounds at a dose of 10 mg/kg, according to the technique described in M. Rinaldi-Carmona et al., Life Sciences, 1995, 56, 1941-1947. The results obtained are collated in the table below

Surprisingly, it is observed that the
compound of formula (I) according to the invention is the only compound which shows appreciable occupation (44%) 24 hours after its administration.
Moreover, the antagonist nature of the
compound of formula (I) was demonstrated by the results obtained in models of adenylate-cyclase inhibition as described in M. Rinaldi-Carmona et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp, Ther., 1996, 278, 871-878.
More particularly, the compound of the
present invention, in its native form or in the form of one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, is a powerful, and selective antagonist of the CBi cannabinoid receptors.
The antagonist nature of the compound according to the invention, as well as its good penet. rat: ion into the central nervous system, are confirmed by the results obtained in the model of

antagonism of the hypothermia induced with a cannabinoid receptor agonist. Thus, the compound of formula (I) according to the invention antagonizes the hypothermia induced with WIN 55212-2 in mice, with an oral ED-., or: G.3 ing/kg in the Lest described by Per twee R.G. et al . in Marijuana, E[4, Ed. Harvey, D.Y. Oxford .1RL -ress, 1965, 263-2 "7. In this test, the activity and the duration of action of 3 compounds were compared. Tne results obtained are collated in the table below:
