Abstract

A novel pyridyl non-aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic-1-carboxylate compound and its pharmaceutically acceptable salt has a potent FAAH-inhibitory activity. Further, the pyridyl non-aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic-1-carboxylate compound of the present disclosure is also useful in the treatment of urinary frequency and urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and/or pain.

R 15 represents H, or lower alkyl;

X represents CH, or N;

R 8 , R 9 , and R 10 are the same or different, each representing

(i) a group selected from the group consisting of H, halo, —CN, —CF 3 , lower alkyl, and —O-lower alkyl;

(ii) aryl optionally substituted with the same or different 1 to 5 groups selected from the group consisting of H, halo, —CN, —CF 3 , lower alkyl, and —O-lower alkyl;

(iii) nitrogen-containing heteroaryl optionally substituted with the same or different 1 to 5 groups selected from the group consisting of H, halo, —CN, —CF 3 , lower alkyl, and —O-lower alkyl;

(iv) R 16 —(lower alkylene)-O—;

(v) R 16 —(lower alkylene)-N(R 15 )—; or

(vi) R 17 R 18 N—C(═O)—,

wherein R 16 represents

(i) aryl optionally substituted with the same or different 1 to 5 groups selected from the group consisting of H, halo, —CN, —CF 3 , lower alkyl, and —O-lower alkyl;

(ii) nitrogen-containing heteroaryl optionally substituted with the same or different 1 to 5 groups selected from the group consisting of H, halo, —CN, —CF 3 , lower alkyl, and —O-lower alkyl; or

(iii) 3- to 8-membered cycloalkyl,

wherein R 17 and R 18 are the same or different, each representing H, lower alkyl, or 3- to 8-membered cycloalkyl, or R 17 and R 18 may form, together with the N atom bonding thereto, 3- to 8-membered nitrogen-containing hetero ring,

R 11 represents H, lower alkyl, or oxo (═O), and

R 12 , R 13 and R 14 are H.

2. The pyridyl non-aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic-1-carboxylate compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt according to claim 1 , wherein the ring A is benzene ring, cyclohexane ring, piperidine ring, or piperazine ring.

3. The pyridyl non-aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic-1-carboxylate compound or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt according to claim 2 , wherein R 9 , R 10 , and R 11 are H.

4. A pyridyl non-aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic-1-carboxylate compound of a general formula (IV) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt:

wherein the symbols in formula (IV) have the following meanings:

ring A 1 represents benzene ring, piperidine ring or piperazine ring;

L 1 represents lower alkylene, lower alkenylene, —N(R 15 )—C(═O)—, or —O—, wherein R 15 represents H, or lower alkyl;

R 19 represents

(i) a group selected from the group consisting of H, halo, —CN, —CF 3 , lower alkyl, and —O-lower alkyl;

(ii) nitrogen-containing heteroaryl optionally substituted with the same or different 1 to 5 groups selected from the group consisting of H, halo, —CN, —CF 3 , lower alkyl, and —O-lower alkyl;

(iii) R 16 —(lower alkylene)-O—; or

(iv) R 17 R 18 N—C(═O)—,

wherein R 16 represents

(i) aryl optionally substituted with the same or different 1 to 5 groups selected from the group consisting of H, halo, —CN, —CF 3 , lower alkyl, and —O-lower alkyl;

(ii) nitrogen-containing heteroaryl optionally substituted with the same or different 1 to 5 groups selected from the group consisting of H, halo, —CN, —CF 3 , lower alkyl, and —O-lower alkyl; or

(iii) 3- to 8-membered cycloalkyl,

wherein R 17 and R 18 are the same or different, each representing H or lower alkyl, or R 17 and R 18 may form, together with the N atom bonding thereto, 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing hetero ring, and

R 20 represents H.

5. A pyridyl non-aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic-1-carboxylate compound of a general formula (V) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt:

wherein the symbols in formula (V) have the following meanings:
