SPECIFICATION
Technical Field
The present invention relates to compounds that are useful as an active
ingredient of a medicament for preventive and/or therapeutic treatment of
neurodegenerative diseases caused by abnormal activities of GSK3β alone or by
the combined effects of GSK3β and cdk5/p25.
Background Art
GSK3β (glycogen synthase kinase 3β) is a proline directed serine,
threonine kinase that plays an important role in the control of metabolism,
differentiation and survival. It was initially identified as an enzyme able to
phosphorylate and hence inhibit glycogen synthase. It was later recognised that
GSK3β was identical to tau protein kinase 1 (TPK1), an enzyme that
phosphorylates tau protein in epitopes that are also found to be
hyperphosphorylated in Alzheimer's disease and in several tauopathies.
Interestingly, protein kinase B (AKT) phosphorylation of GSK3β results in a loss of
its kinase activity, and it has been hypothesised that this inhibition may mediate
some of the effects of neurotrophic factors. Moreover, phosphorylation by GSK3β
of β-catenin, a protein involved in cell survival, results in its degradation by an
ubiquitinilation dependent proteasome pathway.
Thus, it appears that inhibition 01 GSK3β activity may result in neurotrophic
activity. Indeed there is evidence that lithium, an non-competitive inhibitor of
GSK3β, enhances neuritogenesis in some models and also increases neuronal
survival, through the induction ot survival factors such as Bcl-2 and the inhibition
of the expression of proapoptotic factors such as P53 and Bax.
Recent studies have demonstrated that β-amyloid increases the GSK3β activity

and tau protein phosphorylation. Moreover, this hyperphosphorylation as well as
the neurotoxic effects of p-am/loid are blocked by lithium chloride and by a
GSK3β antisense mRNA. These observations strongly suggest that GSK3β may
be the link between the two major pathological processes in Alzheimer's disease:
abnormal APP (Amyloid Precursor Protein) processing and tau protein
hyperphosphorylation.
Although tau hyperphosphorylation results in a destabilization of the neuronal
cytoskeleton, the pathological consequences of abnormal GSK3P activity are,
most likely, not only due to a pathological phosphorylation of tau protein because,
as mentioned above, an excessive activity of this kinase may affect survival
through the modulation of the expression of apoptotic and antiapoptotic factors.
Moreover, it has been shown that p-amyloid-induced increase in GSK3β activity
results in the phosphorylation and, hence the inhibition of pyruvate
dehydrogenase, a pivotal enzyme in energy production and acetylcholine
synthesis.
Cdk5/p25, also known an tau protein kinase 2 (TPK2), is a proline
directed, Ser/Thr kinase essential for central nervous system development and in
particular for neuronal migration and neurite outgrowth. Cdk5 is a homologue of
cyclin-dependent kinases and rather ubiquitously expressed. Its activator p35 (a
305 aa protein) or a truncated form p25 (208 aa, missing an N-terminal proline-
rich domain not required for activity) are selectively expressed in neurons, limiting
cdk5 kinase activity essentially to the CNS. Cdk5 is completely inactive in the
absence of p35 or p25. The term cdk5/p25 will be used here for the active
enzyme since evidence exists suggesting that p25 and less so p35 may be
involved in pathological processes.
Physiological substrates of cdk5/p25 include DARPP-32, Munc-18, PAK1,
synapsin 1 and perhaps some otners. In addition, it is now well established that
cdk5/p25 phosphorylates tau protein epitopes which are hyperphosphorylated in
Alzheimer's disease. More recently, elevated cdk5/p25 activity, mislocalization of
cdk5 and an increase in p25 activator has been found in the brain of Alzheimer
patients. Interestingly, prephosprorylation of tau protein by cdk5/p25 considerably
enhances phosphorylation of tau by GSK3β on other epitopes, also found

hyperphosphorylated in Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, neurofibrillary tangly
hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, are labelled with antisera for GSK3β and cdk5,
but not GSK3α and MAP kinase, also, GSK3β and cdk5 are associated with
microtubules and both, more than PKA and CK, contribute to the AD-like
phosphorylation of tau protein. These results taken together suggest that mixed
inhibitors of GSK3β and cdk5/p25 should efficient in protecting tau protein from
hyperphosphorylation. Therefore, they would be useful in the treatment of any
pathological disorder associated with the abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein,
in particular Alzheimer's disease, but also other tauopathies (e.g.
frontotemporoparietal dementia, corticobasal degeneration, Pick's disease,
progressive supranuclear palsy).
Cdk5/p25 has been linked to apoptosis and neurodegeneration in more
general terms. Its overexpression induces apoptosis in cultured neurons, in brain
tissue apoptotic cells show strong immunoreactivity for cdk5. Neurotoxic agents,
incl. Ap(1-42), neuronal injury, ischemia or growth factor withdrawal lead to
activation and mislocalization of cdk5/p25, abnormal phosphorylation of cdk5
substrates, cytoskeletal disruption and cell death. Moreover, phosphorylation by
cdk5/p25 transforms DARPP-32 into an inhibitor of protein kinase A, reducing
signal transduction in the striatum with obvious implications for Parkinson's
disease. A role for cdk5 in ALS has also been proposed based on its ability to
phosphorylate neurofilaments. More recently, deregulation of cdk5 was detected
in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Altogether, these experimental observations indicate that GSK3β inhibitors may
find application in the treatment of the neuropathological consequences and the
cognitive and attention deficits associated with Alzheimer's disease, as well as
other acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases. These include, in a non-
limiting manner, Parkinson's disease, tauopathies (e.g. frontotemporoparietal
dementia, corticobasal degeneration, Pick's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy) and other dementia including vascular dementia; acute stroke and others
traumatic injuries; cerebrovascular accidents (e.g. age related macular
degeneration); brain and spinal cord trauma; peripheral neuropathies;
retinopathies and glaucoma.

In addition GSK3β inhibition may find application in the treatment of other
diseases such as:
Non-insulin dependent diabetes (such as diabetes type II ) and obesity; manic
depressive illness; schizophrenia; alopecia; cancers such as breast cancer, non-
small cell lung carcinoma, thyroid cancer, T or B-cell leukemia and several virus-
induced tumors.
Since it appears that both, GSK3β and cdk5/p25 play a major role in the induction
of apoptosis in neuronal cells, combined inhibition of these two enzymes may find
application in the treatment of not only Alzheimer's disease and the other above-
mentioned tauopathies, but also in a number of other neurodegenerative
disorders, in particular Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis;
other dementias including vascular dementia; acute stroke and other traumatic
injuries; cerebrovascular accidents (e.g. age related macular degeneration); brain
and spinal cord trauma; peripheral neuropathies; retinopathies and glaucoma.
In addition mixed TPK1/TPK2 innibitors may find their applications in the
treatment of other diseases such as : smoking cessation and other withdrawal
syndromes, epilepsy.

As a further object, the present invention concerns also methods for preparing the
compounds represented by the aforementioned formula (I).
These compounds can be prepared, for example, according to methods explained
below.

Preparation method
Pyrimidone compounds represented by the aforementioned formula (I)
may be prepared according to scheme 1.

The pyrimidin-5(1H)-one derivative represented by the above formula (III),
wherein R1 is as defined for compound of formula (I), is allowed to react with a
base such as sodium hydride, sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate in a
solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidine, N,N-
dimethylacetamide or chloroform at a suitable temperature ranging from 0 to
130°C under ordinary air, then with a compound of formula (II), wherein R2, X, Y
and n are as defined for compound of formula (I) and L represents a leaving group
preferably bromide or mesyloxy group, is added to obtain the compound of the
aforementioned formula (I).
Compound of formula (II) are commercially available or may be
synthesised according to wel-known methods of one skilled in the art. The
compound of formula (III) may be prepared according to the method defined in
scheme 2.


(In the above scheme the definition of R1, R3, R4, R5, p and m are the
same as already described.)
According to this method, the 3-ketoester of formula (IV) is allowed to react with a
compound of formula (V). The reaction may be carried out in the presence of
potassium carbonate, in an alcoholic solvent such as methanol, ethanol and the
like or without, at a suitable temperature ranging from 25°-140°C under ordinary
air.
Alternatively, compounds, of formula (III) wherein R5 represents a hydrogen
atom may be halogenated in order to give compounds of formula (III) wherein R5
is a halogen atom such as a bromine atom or a chlorine atom.
The reaction may be carried out in an acidic medium such as acetic acid or
propionic acid, in presence of bromosuccinimide or chlorosuccinimide, or bromine.
In addition, compounds of formula (III) wherein R5 represents a fluorine
atom may be obtained by analcgy to the method described in Tetrahedron
Letters, Vol.30,N°45,pp6113-6116, 1989.
Compounds of formula (V) or (IV) are commercially available or may be
synthesised according to well-Known methods of one skilled in the art.
For example compounds of formula (IV), wherein R1 represent a pyrimidine ring
optionally substituted by a C1-4 alkyl group, C1-4 alkoxy group or a halogen atom,
can be prepared by reacting a pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid optionally substituted
by a C1-4 alkyl group, C1-4 alkoxy group or a halogen, with a malonic acid

monoester. The reaction can be carried out using methods well known to one
skilled in the art, such as for example in presence of a coupling agent such as
1,1'-carbonylbis-1H-imidazole in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at a
temperature ranging from 20 to 70°C.
Compounds of formula (I) may also be obtained starting from another
compound of formula (I) using well-known methods of one skilled in the art.
In the above reactions protection or deprotection of a functional group
may sometimes be necessary. A suitable protecting group Pg can be chosen
depending on the type of the functional group, and a method described in the
literature may be applied. Exanples of protecting groups, of protection and
deprotection methods are given for example in Protective groups in Organic
Synthesis Greene et al., 2nd Ed. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York).
The compounds of the present invention have inhibitory activity against
GSK3β or GSK3β and cdk5/p25. Accordingly, the compounds of the present
invention are useful as an active ingredient for the preparation of a medicament,
which enables preventive and/or therapeutic treatment of a disease caused by
abnormal GSK3β or GSK3β and cdk5/p25 activity and more particularly of
neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the
compounds of the present invention are also useful as an active ingredient for the
preparation of a medicament for preventive and/or therapeutic treatment of
neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis, tauopathies (e.g. frontotemporoparietal dementia, corticobasal
degeneration, Pick's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy) and other dementia
including vascular dementia; acute stroke and others traumatic injuries;
cerebrovascular accidents (e.g. age related macular degeneration); brain and
spinal cord trauma; peripheral neuropathies; retinopathies and glaucoma; and
other diseases such as non-insulin dependent diabetes (such as diabetes type II)
and obesity; manic depressive illness; schizophrenia; alopecia; smoking cessation
and other withdrawal syndromes, epilepsy; cancers such as breast cancer, non-
small cell lung carcinoma, thyroid cancer, T or B-cell leukemia and several virus-

induced tumors.
The present invention further relates to a method for treating
neurodegenerative diseases caused by abnormal activity of GSK3β or GSK3β and
cdk5/p25 and of the aforementioned diseases which comprises administering to a
mammalian organism in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of the
formula (I).
As the active ingredient of the medicament of the present invention, a
substance may be used which is selected from the group consisting of the
compound represented by the aforementioned formula (I) and pharmacologically
acceptable salts thereof, and solvates thereof and hydrates thereof. The
substance, per se, may be administered as the medicament of the present
invention, however, it is desirable to administer the medicament in a form of a
pharmaceutical composition which comprises the aforementioned substance as.
an active ingredient and one or more pharmaceutical additives. As the active
ingredient of the medicament of the present invention, two or more of the
aforementioned substances nray be used in combination. The above
pharmaceutical composition may be supplemented with an active ingredient of
another medicament for the treatment of the above mentioned diseases. The type
of pharmaceutical composition is not particularly limited, and the composition may
be provided as any formulation for oral or parenteral administration. For example,
the pharmaceutical composition may be formulated, for example, in the form of
pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration such as granules, fine
granules, powders, hard capsules, soft capsules, syrups, emulsions, suspensions,
solutions and the like, or in the form of pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral
administrations such as injections for intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous
administration, drip infusions, transdermal preparations, transmucosal
preparations, nasal drops, inhalants, suppositories and the like. Injections or drip
infusions may be prepared as powdery preparations such as in the form of
lyophilised preparations, and may be used by dissolving just before use in an
appropriate aqueous medium such as physiological saline. Sustained-release

preparations such as those coated with a polymer may be directly administered
intracerebrally.
Types of pharmaceutical additives used for the manufacture of the
pharmaceutical composition, content ratios of the pharmaceutical additives
relative to the active ingredient, and methods for preparing the pharmaceutical
composition may be appropriately chosen by those skilled in the art. Inorganic or
organic substances, or solid or liquid substances may be used as pharmaceutical
additives. Generally, the pharmaceutical additives may be incorporated in a ratio
ranging from 1 % by weight to 90% by weight based on the weight of an active
ingredient.
Examples of excipients used for the preparation of solid pharmaceutical
compositions include, for example, lactose, sucrose, starch, talc, cellulose,
dextrin, kaolin, calcium carbonate and the like. For the preparation of liquid
compositions for oral administration, a conventional inert diluent such as water or
a vegetable oil may be used. The liquid composition may contain, in addition to
the inert diluent, auxiliaries such as moistening agents, suspension aids,
sweeteners, aromatics, colorants, and preservatives. The liquid composition may
be filled in capsules made of an absorbable material such as gelatin. Examples of
solvents or suspension mediums used for the preparation of compositions for
parenteral administration, e.g. injections, suppositories, include water, propylene
glycol, polyethylene glycol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl oleate, lecithin and the like.
Examples of base materials used for suppositories include, for example, cacao
butter, emulsified cacao butter, lauric lipid, witepsol.
The dose and frequency of administration of the medicament of the
present invention are not particularly limited, and they may be appropriately
chosen depending on conditions such as a purpose of preventive and/or
therapeutic treatment, a type of a disease, the body weight or age of a patient,
severity of a disease and the like. Generally, a daily dose for oral administration
to an adult may be 0.01 to 1,000 mg (the weight of an active ingredient), and the
dose may be administered once a day or several times a day as divided portions,
or once in several days. When the medicament is used as an injection,

administrations may preferably be performed continuously or intermittently in a
daily dose of 0.001 to 100 mg (the weight of an active ingredient) to an adult.
