Benefits of technology

The present invention provides compounds that can prevent and treat neurodegenerative diseases caused by abnormal GSK3β activity. These compounds are inhibitors of GSK3β, which is an enzyme involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. The compounds have been found to have inhibitory activity against GSK3β and can be used as an active ingredient in a medicament for preventive and therapeutic treatment of these diseases. The invention also provides a method for preventive and therapeutic treatment of neurodegenerative diseases caused by abnormal GSK3β activity.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, it appears that inhibition of GSK3β activity may result in neurotrophic activity.

Compound No 2 of Table 1

1-[3-(2-Fluoro-phenyl)-propyl]-7-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one hydrochloride (1:1)

1.1. 7-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one

[0073]A mixture containing 2.9 g (15 mmol) of 3-oxo-3-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-propionic acid ethyl ester (prepared by analogy to the method described in patent DE 2705582), 2 g (15 mmol) of 2-aminoimidazole hemisulfate and 1.2 g (15 mmol) of ammonium acetate was heated at 140° C. during 18 h.

[0074]The cooled mixture was treated with 30 ml of acetonitrile and filtered and the precipitate was added to water and heated at reflux temperature for 30 min.

[0075]The resulting solution was cooled and the precipitate recovered by filtration. The crude product thus obtained was recrystallized from ethanol to give 1.75 g of pure product as a gray solid.

1-[2-(4-Fluoro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-7-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one

2.1 (4-Fluoro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester

[0080]To a suspension of 14.34 g (32.47 mmol) of lead (IV) acetate in 100 ml of anhydrous toluene was added a mixture of 5.2 g (30.92 mmol) of 1-(4-fluoro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-ethanone and 15.02 ml (123.13 mmol) of boron trifluoride etherate in 9 ml of methanol. The reaction mixture is further stirred at room temperature for 16 h. Water was added to the cooled mixture and the resulting solution extracted with toluene. The extracts were washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, saturated sodium chloride solution and dried with sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to dryness to give 6 g of product as an oil which was used in the subsequent step without further purification.

2.2 2-(4-Fluoro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-ethanol

[0081]To a suspension of 1.72 g (45.41 mmol) of lithium aluminum hydride in 120 ml of ...

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 504,679, filed Jan. 31, 2005, now allowed, which was the National Stage of International application No. PCT / EP03 / 02,652, filed Feb. 26, 2003, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety; which claims the benefit of priority of European Patent Application No. EP 02290487.4, filed Feb. 28, 2002.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]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 activity of GSK3β.BACKGROUND ART[0003]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 recognized that GSK3β was ident...
