Abstract

Provided herein are compounds and methods of preparation of compounds that are capable of functioning as agonists or antagonists of a nicotinic receptor. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of these compounds, which may further comprise one or more additional therapeutic agents. Further provided are methods of treatment of various conditions that may be responsive to such activity at the nicotinic receptors, such as nicotine dependence.

Claims (45)

1. A compound according to the structure:

wherein:

A is —R, —N(R) 2 , —C(═NR)N(R) 2 , or —OR,

each R is, independently, H, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, or aralkyl;

each X is, independently, H, halo, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, —OR, —CH 2 —CO 2 R, —C(O)R, —CO 2 R, —N(R) 2 , —NR—C(O)R, —C(O)N(R) 2 , —NR—CO 2 R, —SO 3 CF 3 , —NO 2 , —N 3 , —CF 3 , —CH═CHY, or —CN;

Y is halo;

n is an integer from 0-3; and

R 1 is an optionally substituted heteroaryl selected from thiophene and pyrimidine;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.

2. A compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound has the following structure:

wherein:

each R 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-6 alkoxy, amino, halo, hydroxyl, amide, CN, CH 3 SO 2 , and CF 3 SO 2 ;

each X is independently H or halo; and

p is an integer from 0-3;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.

3. A compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound has the following structure:

wherein:

each R 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-6 alkoxy, amino, halo, hydroxyl, amide, CN, CH 3 SO 2 , and CF 3 SO 2 ;

each X is independently H or halo; and

p is an integer from 0-3;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.

4. A compound according to claim 1 selected from the group consisting of:

2-exo- [2′-Fluoro-3′-(pyrimidin-3-yl)-5′-pyridinyl]-7-azabicyclo [2.2.1]heptane;

2-exo-[2′-Chloro-3′-(pyrimidin-5-yl)-5′-pyridnyl]-7-azabicyclo [2.2.1]heptane;

5. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of claim 1 and one or more phaimaceutically acceptable carriers.

6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is optionally substituted pyrimidine.

7. The compound of claim 6 , wherein X is halo, n=1, and A is H.

8. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the optionally substituted heteroaryl has one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of amino, amido, alkyl, halo, R 12 R 13 NSO 2 , and alkoxy substituents, wherein R 12 and R 13 are each independently selected from H and C1-10 alkyl.

9. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the optionally substituted heteroaryl is substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of C1-6 alkoxy, amino, halo, hydroxyl, amide, CN, CH 3 SO 2 , and CF 3 SO 2 .
