EP 1 432 707 B1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 1 432 707 B1 Description FIELD OF INVENTION 5 [0001] Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) play a large role in central nervous system (CNS) activity. Partic- ularly, they are known to be involved in cognition, learning, mood, emotion, and neuroprotection. There are several types of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, and each one appears to have a different role in regulating CNS function. Nicotine affects all such receptors, and has a variety of activities. Unfortunately, not all of the activities are desirable. In fact, o ne of the least desirable properties of nicotine is its addictive nature and the low ratio between efficacy and safety. The 10 present invention relates to molecules that have a greater effect upon theα 7 nAChRs as compared to other closely related members of this large ligand-gated receptor family. Thus, the invention provides compounds that are active drug molecules with fewer side effects. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 15 [0002] Cell surface receptors are, in general, excellent and validated drug targets. nAChRs comprise a large family of ligand-gated ionchannels thatcontrol neuronal activity andbrain function.These receptors have a pentameric structure. In mammals, this gene family is composed of nine alpha and four beta subunits that assembleco- to form multiple subtypes of receptors that have a distinctive pharmacology. Acetylcholine is the endogenous regulator of all of the 20 subtypes, while nicotine non-selectively activates all nAChRs. [0003] The α7 nAChR is one receptor system that has proved to be a difficult target for testing. Native α7 nAChR is not routinely able to be stably expressed in most mammalian cell lines (Cooper and Millar, J. Neurochem., 1997, 68 (5): 2140-51). Another feature that makes functional assays ofα 7 nAChR challenging is that the receptor is rapidly (100 milliseconds) inactivated. This rapid inactivation greatly limits the functional assays that can be used to measure channel 25 activity. [0004] Recently, Eisele et al. has indicated that a chimeric receptor formed between the N-terminal ligand binding domain of the α7 nAChR (Eisele et al., Nature, 366 (6454), p 479-83, 1993), and the pore forming C- terminal domain of the 5-HT3 receptor expressed well in Xenopus oocytes while retaining nicotinic agonist sensitivity. Eisele et al. used the N-terminus of the avian (chick) form of the α7 nAChR receptor and the C-terminus of the mouse form of the 5- HT3 gene. 30 However, under physiological conditions the α7 nAChR is a calcium channel while the 5- HT3R is a sodium and potassium channel. Indeed, Eisele et al. teaches that the chickenα 7 nAChR/ mouse 5-HT3R behaves quite differently than the native α7 nAChR with the pore element not conducting calcium but actually being blocked by calcium ions. WO 00/73431 A2 reports on assay conditions under which the 5-HT3R can be made to conduct calcium. This assay may be used to screen for agonist activity at this receptor. 35 [0005] US Patent 6,054,464 discloses azabicyclic esters of carbamic acids useful in therapy, especially in the treatment or prophylaxis of psychotic disorders and intellectual impairment disorders, as well as intermediates and use of inter- mediates in synthesis.
