Abstract

Disclosed are pyrimidine compounds of formula Z:
(see formula I) formula ZZ:
(see formula II) formula III:
(see formula III) wherein R100 is (C1-C8) alkyl, benzyl or phenyl, said benzyl or phenyl being unsubstituted or substituted, as well as a process for preparing the compound of formula Z. Those compounds are useful as intermediates for producing aminepyridine compounds of the formula:

(see formula IV) in which R1 is formyl, acetyl, etc.; R2 is H, alkyl or alkoxy; and R3 is a substituted amino group such as (see formula V) in which R9 is pyrimidyl or triazinyl, useful as sorbitol dehydrogenase inhibitors.

Description

PYRIMIDINE DERIVATIVES INTERMEDIATES FOR PRODUCING
AMINOPYRIMIDINES AS SORBITOL DEHYDROGENASE INHIBITORS , This is a divisional application of Canadian Patent Application No. 2,366,858 filed September 27, 2001.
The parent application describes novel aminopyrimidine derivatives and to the use of such derivatives and related compounds to inhibit sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), lower fructose levels, or treat or prevent diabetic complications such as diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetic microangiopathy and diabetic macroangiopathy in mammals. The parent also describes pharmaceutical compositions containing such pyrimidine derivatives and related compounds. The parent also describes pharmaceutical compositions comprising a combination of a sorbitol dehydrogenase inhibitor of formula I and an aldose reductase inhibitor and to the use of such compositions to treat or prevent diabetic complications in mammals. The parent also describes pharmaceutical compositions comprising a combination of a sorbitol dehydrogenase inhibitor of formula I and an NHE=1 inhibitor and to the use of such compositions to reduce tissue damage resulting from ischemia, and particularly to prevent perioperative myocardial ischemic injury. The present divisional application is directed to specific novel pyrimidine derivatives of the formulae Z, ZZ and III
described hereinunder and their production processes.
Throughout the specification, it should be understood that the expression "present invention" or the like encompasses the subject matters of both the parent and divisional applications.

~ -la-S. Ao et al., Metabolism, 40, 77-87 (1991) have shown that significant functional improvement in the nerves of diabetic rats (based on nerve conduction velocity) occurs when nerve fructose levels are pharmacologically lowered, and that such improvement correlates fore closely with the lowering of nerve fructose than the lowering of nerve sorbitol. Similar results were reported by N. E. Cameron and M. A. Cotter, Diabetic Medicine, 8, Suppl. 1, 35A-36A
(1991). In both of these cases, lowering of nerve fructose was achieved using relatively high dose of aldose reductase inhibitors, which inhibit the formation of sorbitol, a precursor of fructose, from glucose via the enzyme aldose reductase.
U.S. Patent Nos. 5,138,058 and 5,215,990 each disclose compounds of the formula:
2 3 R ~N/R

N
Ri/ \N/ 4 R

where R'. R~, R', R' and RS are as disclosed therein. Said o~mpounds are disclosed as having utility as tools in screening for aldose reductase inhibitors due to tt~e sorbitol aoarmulating activity of said compounds:
Commonly assigned U.S. Patent Nos. 5,728,704 and 5,866,578 each disclose compounds of the formula A, A
wherein R' through RS are defined as disclosed therein. Further, U.S.
5,728,704 discloses that sorbitol dehydrogenase compounds have utility in the treatment of diabetic complications.
Pyrimidine derivatives of the formula I, as defined below, and their pham~aoeutically axeptable salts, lower fiuctose levels in the tissues of mammals affected by diabetes (e.g., nerve, kidney and retina tissue) and are useful in the treatment and prevention of the diabetic complications referred to above.
These compounds, or their metabolites in vivo, are inhibitors of the enzyme sorbibot dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the oxidation of sorbitol to fructose.

VIII-g According to Scheme I, the Formula I-a compound, wherein R' is as described above for the compound of formula NHE, is dissolved or suspended in an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution (e.g. 1 N sodium hydroxide) along with sodium nitrite and the mixture is added to an aqueous aadic solution (e.g. 10% v/v sulfuric acrd) at a pH of about 0 at a temperature of about 0°C to about 5°C for about 30 min to about 1 hour. The resulting mixture is filtered to yield the Formula i-b oxime.
AitematNeiy, the Formula 1-a compound is dissolved in 1:1 acetic aadlpropionic acrd and soC~d sodium nitrite is added at about 0°C. The reaction mbct<rre is stirred at about 0°C for about 2 hours, then poured into ice water and the Fomwla !-b oxime is obtained by filtration.
The Fortnuia I-b compound is reacted with a Formula t-c cornpour~, vifierein R5 is as described above for the compound of formula NHE in a erotic solvent such as ethanol at a temperature of about 50°C to about 110°C .for about 10 min to about 1 hour to form the Formula I-d hydrazone. , , The Formula I-d hydrazone is cydized and hydrolyzed to the Formula I-a triazole in an alcoholic solvent such as 2-ethoxyethanol under basic conditions (e.g., potassium hydroxide) at a temperature of about 100 °C to about 175°C for about 1I2 hour to about 2 hours followed by addification to yield the Formula I-a triazole aad.
The Formula I-a aad is coupled with guanidine in the presence of a suitable coupling agent. A suitable coupling agent is one which transforms a carboxylic acid into a reactive speaes which fortes an amide linkage on readion with an amine.
The coupling agent may be a reagent which effects this condensation in a one pot process when mixed together with the carboxylic aad and guanidine.
Exemptary coupling reagents are 1-(3~imethylaminopropyl~3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride-hydroxybenzotriazole (EDCIHBT), dicydohexylcarbodiimidelhydroxybenzotriazole(HBT), 2-ethoxy-1-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ), and diethylphosphoryfcyanide. The coupling is perfom~ed in an inert solvent, preferably an aprobc solvent at a temperature of about -20°C to about 50°C for about 1 to about 48 hours, in the presence of excess guanidine as base. Exemplary solvents include acetonitrile, dida~oromethane, dimethylfom~amide and chloroform or mixtures thereof.
The coupling agent may also be that agent which converts the carboxylic acid to an activated intermediate which is isolated and/or fom~ed in a first step and allowed to react with guanidine in a second step. Examples of such coupling agents and activated intermediates are thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride to form the aad chloride, cyanuric fluoride to form an aad fluoride or an alkyl chlorofomiate such as isobutyl or isopropenyl chloroformate or propanephosphonic anhydride (propanephosphonic add anhydride, PPA) (with a tertiary amine base) to form a mixed anhydride of the carboxylic aad, or carbonyldiimidazote to form an acylimidazole. ff the coupling agent is oxaiyl chloride, it is advantageous to employ a small amount of dimethylforrrrarrode as cosolvent with another solvent (such as dichforomethane) to catalyze the formation of the acid chloride. This activated aad derivative may be coupled by mixing with excess guanidine in an appropriate solvent together with an appropriate base.
Appropriate solvent/base combinations are for example, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide or acetori~trile or mixtures thereof in the presence of excess WO OOI59510 PCTIIB~O/00296 guanidine as base. Other appropriate solvent/base combinations inGude water or a (C,-Cs~lcohot or a mixture thereof together with a cosplvent such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane and a base such as sodium, potassium or lithium hydroxide in sufficient quantity to consume the acid liberated in the reaction.
Use of these coupling agents and appropriate selection of solvents and temperatures are known to those skilled in the art or can be readily determined from the literature.
These and other exemplary conditions useful for coupling carboxylic aads are described in Houben-Weyl, Vol XV, part II, E. Wunsch, Ed., G. Theime Verlag,1974, Stuttgart: M. Bodansky, Prinapfes of Peptide Synthesis, Springer Verlag, 8eriin 1984;

Measurement of Human NHE-1 Inhibitory Activity Methodologies for measurement of human NHE-1 adtvity and inhibitor potency are based on those published by Watson et at., Am. J. Physiol., 24:6229-6238,1991 ), where NHE-mediated recovery of intracellular pH is measured following intracellular aad~cation. Thus, tabroblasts stably expressing human NHE-1 (Counillon; L et at.,,Mol. Pham~acol., 44:1041-1045 (1993) are plated onto collagen coated 96 well plates (50,QOOiwell) and grown to cont3uence in growth media (DMEM

WO 00/59510 PCTlIB00f00296 high glucose, 10°~ fetal bovine serum. 50 uiml penicillin and streptomyan)' ~ Confluent plates are incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C with the pH sensitive fluorescent probe BCECF (5 ~M; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR). BCECF loaded cells are incubated for 30 minutes of 37°C in aad loading media (70 mM choline chloride, 50 mM NHCI,; 5 mM KCI, 1 mM MgCI?,1.8 mM CaCl2, 5 mM glucose,10 mM HEPES, pN 7.5), and then placed in a Fluorescent imaging Plate Reader (Mofecuiar Devices, CA):;, BCECF
,, fluorescence is monitored using exatation and emission wavelengths of 485 nM
and 525 nM, respectively. Intracellular aadihcatfon is initiated via rapid replacement of acid loading media with recovery media (120 mM NaCI, 5 mM KCI,1 mM MgCl2, 1.8 mM CaCl2, 5 mM glucose,10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5) ~ test combination, and NHE-mediated recovery of intracellular pH is monitored as the subsequent time-dependent increase BCECF fluorescence. The potency of the combinations of the compounds of formula I of this invention with NHE-1 inhibitors is calculated as the concentration that reduces recovery of intracellular pH by 50% (ICS). Under these conditions reference NHE inhibitors amiforide and HOE-642 had IC~ values for human NHE-1 of 50 ~AII
and 0.5 pM, respectively.
As background infom~ation, it is noted that brief periods of myocardial ischemia fo(iowed by coronary artery reperfusion protects the heart from subsequent severe myocardial ischemia (Muny et al., Circulation 74:1124-1136,1986).
The therapeutic effects of the combination of the compounds of formula 1 of this invention with NHE-1 inhibitors in preventing heart tissue damage resulting from an ischemic insult can be demonstrated in vitro along lines presented in Liu et al.
(Cardiovasc. Res., 28:1057-7061, 1994), as described specifically herein.
Cardioprotection, as indicated by a reduction in infarcted myocardium, can be induced pharrnacologicaNy using adenosine receptor agonists in isolated, retrogradely perfused rabbit hearts as an in vitro model of ~rdial ischemic preconditioning (Uu et al., Cardiovasc. Res., 28:1057-1061,1994). The in vitro test described below demonstrates thata test compound or, in this case a test combination (i.e., a combination of a compound of formula I with an NHE-1 antagonist) can also pham~acoiogically induce carciioprotection, i.e., reduced myocardial ir>tarct size, when administered to a rabbit isolated heart. The effects of the test combination are compared to ischemic preconditioning-and the A1/A3 adenosine agonise, APNEA
(N°-[2-(4-aminophenyl)ethytJadenosine), that has been shown to pharmaootogicatfy WO 00/59510 pCTIIB00I00296 induce cardioprotection in the rabbit isolated heart (Liu~et aL, Cardiovasc.
Res., 28:1057-1061, 1994). The exact methodology is described below.
The protocol used for these experiments closely follows that described by Liu et al., Cardiovasc. Res., 28:1057-1061,1994. Male New Zealand White rabbits (3-kg) are anesthetized with sodium pentobai~bitel (30 mglkg, i.v.). After deep anesthesia is achieved (determined by the absence of an ocular blink reflex) the animal is intubated and ventilated with 100°~ OZ using a positive pressure ventilator. A left thoracotomy is performed, the heart exposed, and a snare (2-0 silk) is placed loosely around a prominent branch of the left coronary artery, approximately 213 of the distance towards the apex of the heart The heart is removed from the diest and rapidly (<30 sec) mounted on a Langendorff apparatus. The heart is retrogradety perfused in a non-rearculating manner with a modified Krebs solution (NaCI
118.5 mM, KCI 4.7 mM, Mg SO, 1.2 mM, KHzPO, t.2 mM, NaHC03 24.8 mM, CaCh 2.5 mM, and glucose 10 mM), at a constant pressure of 80 mmHg and a temperature of 37°C. Perfusate pH is maintained at 7.4-7.5 by bubbling with 95% 015%
CO~. Heart temperature is tightly controlled by using heated reservoirs for the physiological solution and water jacketing around both the perfusion tubing and the isolated heart.
Heart rate and left ventricular pressures an: determined via a latex balloon which is inserted in the left ventride and connected by stainless steel tubing to a pressure transducer. The intraventricular balloon is inflated to provide a systolic pressure of 80-100 mmHg, and a diastolic pressure _< 10 mmHg. Total coronary flow is also continuously monitored using an in-line flow probe and normalized for heart weight The heart is allowed to equilibrate for 30 minutes, over which time the heart must show stable left ventricular pnasures within the parameters outlined above. If the heart rate falls below 180 bpm at any time prior to the 30 minutes period of regional ischemia, the heart is paced at about 200 bpm for the remainder of the experiment. tschemic preconditioning is induced by total cessation of cardiac perfusion (global ischemia) for 5 minutes, followed by reperfusi~ for 10 minutes. The regional ischemia is provided by tightening the snare around the coronary artery branch. Following the 30 minutes regional ischemia, the snare is released and the heart reperfused for an additional 120 minutes.
Pharmacological cardioprotection is induced by infusing the test combination, i.e., a corrrbinafron of a compound of formula I with an NHE-1 inhibitor, at WO 00/59510 PCTIIB00~00296 predetermined concentrations, starting 30 minutes poor to the 30 minutes regional ischemia, and continuing until the end of the 120 minutes reperfuston period.
Hearts which receive the test combination do not undergo the period of ischemic preconditioning. The reference compound, APNF~ (500 nM) is perfused through hearts (which do not receive the test compound) for a 5 minutes period which ends 10 minutes before the 30 minutes regional ischemia. , At the end of the 120 minutes reperfusion period, the coronary artery snare is tightened, and a 0.5% suspension of fluorescent zinc cadmium sulfate par6Ges (1-10 NM) Duke Scientific Corp.(Palo Atto, CA) is perfused through the hearty this stains alt of the myocardium, except that area-at-risk for infarct development (area-at-risk). The heart is removed from the Langendorff apparatus, blotted dry, wrapped in aluminum foil and stored overnight at -20°C. The next day, the heart is sliced into ,~ mm transverse sections from the apex to the top of the ventrides_ The slices are stained v~i~th 1 % triphenyt tetrazotium chloride (TTC) in phosphate-buffered saline for 20 minutes at 37°C. Since TTC reacts with living flssue (containing NAD-dependent dehydrogenases), this stain differentiates between fnring (red stained) tissue, and dead tissue (unstained infarcted tissue). The infarcted area (no stain) and the area-at-risk (no fluorescent partides) are catculated for each slice of left ventride using a precalibrated image analyzer. To normalize the ischemic injury for differences in the area-at-risk between hearts, the data is expressed as the ratio of infarct area vs. area-at-risk (%IAlAAR). All data are expressed as mean t SE and compared statistiraliy using a Mann-Whitney non-parametric test with a Bonfemoni cornection for multiple comparisons. Significance is considered as p < 0.05.
The results from the above in vitro test demonstrate that a combination of a compound of this invention with an NHE-1 inhibitor induce signficartt cardioprotection relative to the control group.
The therapeutic effects of a combination of a compound of formula t of this invention with an NHE-1 inhibitor in preventing heart tissue damage otherwise resulting from an ischemic insult can also be demonstrated in vivo along Unes presented in tau et at. (Circulation, Voi. &4:350-356,1991 ) as described speaficalty herein. The in vivo assay tests the cardioprotedion of the test combination, i.e., a compound of formula ! together with an NHE-1 inhibitor, relative to the control group which receives saline vehide. Cardioprotection, as indicated by a reducfion in pGTIIB00/00296 infarcted myocardium, can be induced pharmacologically using intravenously administered adenosine receptor agonists in intact; anesthetized rabbits studied as an in situ model of myocardial ischemic preconditioning (Liu et af., Circulation 84:350-356, 1991 ). The in vivo assay tests whether the instant combination of a compound of formula I with an NHE-1 inhibitor can phaiinaGOlogicaliy induce cardioprotection, i.e., reduced myocardial infarct size, when parenterally administered to intact, anesthetized rabbits. The effects of the combination of a compound of formula I of this invention with an NHE-11 inhibitor can be compared to ischemic preconditioning using the A1 adenosine agonist, N6-1-(phenyl-2R-isopropyl) adenosine (PIA) that has been shown to phamiacologicaAy induce cardioprotection in intact anesthetized rabbits studied in situ (Liu et al., Circulation 84:350-356, 1991 ). The methodology is described below.
Surcrerv: New Zealand White male rabbits (3-4 kg) are anesthetized with sodium .
pentobarbital (30 mg/kg, i.v.). A tracheotomy is performed via a ventral midline cervical incision and the rabbits are ventilated with 100% oxygen using a positive p pressure ventilator. Catheters are placed in the left jugular vein for dntg administration and in the left carotid artery for blood pressure measurements.
The hearts are then exposed through a left thoracotomy and a snare (00 silk) placed around a prorinent branch of the left coronary artery. lschemia is induced by pulling the snare tight and damping it in place. Releasing the snare allows the affected area to repertuse. Myocardial ischemia is evidenced by regional cyanosis;
reperfusion is evidenced by readive hyperemia.
Protocol: Once arterial pressure and heart rate have been stable for at least minutes the test is started. Ischemic preconditioning is induced by occluding the coronary artery for 5 rtvnutes followed by a 10 minutes reperfusion.
Pharmacological preconditioning is induced by infusing the test combination, i.e., a combination of a compound of formula I of this invention with an NHE-1 inhibitor, over, for example, 5 minutes and allowing 10 minutes before further intervention or by infusing the adenosine agonist, PiA (0.25 mg/kg). Following ischemic preconditioning, pham~acologicat preconditioning or no conditioning (unconditioned, vehicle control) the artery is occluded for 30 minutes and then reperfused for two hours to induce myocardial infarction. The test combination and PIA are dissolved in saline or other suitable vehicle and delivered at 1 to 5 mglkg, respectively.

Stainin (Liu et al., Circulation 84:350-356, 7 991 ): At the end of the 2 hour ~ , , reperfusion period, the hearts are quiddy removed, hung on a Langendorff apparatus, , and flushed for 1 minute with normal saline heated to body temperature (38°C). The silk suture used as the snare is then tied tighny to reocdude the artery and a 0.5%
suspension of fluorescent zinc cadmium sulphate particles (1-10 um) Duke Sdentific Corp. (Palo Alto, CA) is infused with the perfusate to stain all of the myocardium except the area at risk (nonfiuorescent ventricle). The hearts are then quiddy frozen and stored overnight at -20°c. On the following day, the hearts are cut into 2 mm slices and stained with 7 % triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (1'TC). Since TTY
reacts with living tissue, this stain differentiates between living (red stained) tissue, and dead tissue (unstained infarcted tissue). The infarded area (no stain) and the area at risk (no fluorescent particles) are calculated for each slice of left ventricle using a pre-calibrated image analyzer. To normalize the ischemic injury for differences in the area at risk between hearts, the data is expressed as the ratio of infarct area vs.
area at risk (%IA/AAR). All data are expressed as MeantSEM and compared statistically using single factor ANOVA or Mann Whitney non parametric test. Signficance is considered as p<0.05.
The combination of a compound of formula I of this invention with an NHE-1 inhibitor can be tested for their utility in redudng or preventing ischemic injury in non-cardiac tissues, for example, the brain, or the liver, utilizing procedures reported in the scientific literature. The combination of a compound of formula I of this invention with an NHE-1 inhibitor in such tests can be administered by the preferred route and vehicle of administration and at the preferred bme of administration either prior to the ischemic episode, during the ischemic episode, following the isdiemic episode (reperfusion period) or during any of the below-mentioned experimental stages.
The benefit of the combination of NHE-1 inhibitors and compounds of fortnuta 1 of this invention to reduce ischemic brain damage can be demonstrated, for example, in mammals using the method of Park, et al (Ann. Neurol.1988;24:543-551 ).
According to the procedure of Park, et al., adult male Sprague Dawley rats are anesthetized initially with 2% halothane, and thereafter by mechanical venWabon with a nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture (70%:30%) containing 0.5-1% halothane. A
tracheostotny is then perfom~ed. The stroke volume of the ventilator is adjusted to maintain arterial carbon dioxide tension at approximately 35 mm Hg and adequate arterial oxygenation (PaOz>90 mm Hg). Body temperature can, be monitofed by a rectal thermometer, and the animals can be maintained normothermic, if necessary, by external heating. The animals next undergo subtemporal cxanieto expose the main trunk of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) under an operating microscope, and the exposed artery is occluded with microbipolar coagulation to generate large ischemic lesions in the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia.
After three hours of MCA occlusion, the rats are deeply anesthetized with 2% halothane and a thoracotomy is pertormed to infuse heparinized saline into the left ventricle.
The effluent is collected via an indsion of the right atrium. The saline washout is followed by approximately 200 m! of a 40% formaldehyde, glaclal acetic add and absolute methanol solution (FAM;1:1:8, v/vlv), then the animals are decapitated and the head is stored in fixative for 24 hours. The brain is then removed, dissected, embedded in paraffin wax, and sectioned (approximately 100 sections 0.2mm per brain). The sections are then stained with hematoxylin~osin or with a combination of cresyl violet and Luxol fast blue, and examined by light microscopy to identify and quantitate the ischemic damage using a precalibrated image analyzer. The isdzemic volumes and areas are expressed in absolute units (mm' and mmz) and as a peroentage of the total region examined. The effect of the compositions and methods of this invention to reduce ischemic brain damage induced by MCA occlusion is noted based on a reduction in the area or volume of relative or absolute ischemic damage in the brain sections from the rats in the treatment group compared to brain sections from rats in a ptaoebo-treated control group.
Other methods which could alternatively be utilized to demonstrate the benefit of the invention to reduce ischemic brain damage include those described by Nakayama, et al, in Neurology 1988, 38:1667-1673;_ Memezawa, et al. in Stroke 1992, 23:552-559; Folbergrova, et al. in Pros. Natl. Acad. Sd 1995, 925057-5059; and Goth, et al. in Brain Res.1990, 522:290-307.
The benefit of the compositions and methods of this invention to reduce ischemic liver damage can be demonstrated, for example, in mammals using the method of Yokoyama, et al. (Am. J. Physiol.1990~58:G564-G570). According tp the procedure of Yokoyama, et al., fasted adult male Sprague Dawley rats are anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (40 mglkg i.p.), then the animals are trad~eotomized and mechanically ventilated with room air. The fryer is extirpated and placed in an environmental chamber maintained at constant temperature (37 ~°C), then perfused through the portal vein at a constant pressure pf 15 cm H=0 with a mod~ed, hemoglobin-free Krebs-Henseleit buffer (n mM:118 NaCI, 4.7 KCI, 27 NaHCO', 2.5 CaClz, 1.2 MgSO" 12 KH=PO,, 0.05 EDTA, and 11, mM,glucose, plus 300 U
heparin).
The pH of the perfusate is maintained at 7.4 by gassing the buffer with 95% 02 - 5%
COZ. Each liver is perfused at a flow rate of 20 mUminutes in a single-pass, manner for a 30 minutes washout and equilibration period (preischemic period), followed by a 2 hour period of global ischemia, and then a 2 hour period of reperfusion under conditions identical to the preisdtemic period. Aliquots (20 ml) of the perfusate are collected during the preischemic period, immediately after the occlusive isd~emic period, and every 30 minutes of the 2 hour reperfusion period. The perfusate samples are assayed for the appearance of hepatocellular enzymes, for example, aspartate amino-transferase (AS't~, alanine amino-transferase (ALTS, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which are taken to quantitatively reflect the degree of ischemic liver tissue damage during the procedure. AST, ALT, and LDH activities in the perfusate can be determined by several methods, for example, by the reflectometry method using an automatic Kodak Ektachem 500 analyzer reported by Nakano, et al.
(Hepatology 1995;22:539-545). The effect of the compositions and methods of this invention in reducing ischemic liver damage induced by occlusion is noted based on a reduction in the release of hepatooelluiar enzymes immediately following the ocdus'rve period andlor during the postischemio-reperfusion period in the perfused livers from the rats in the treatment group compared to perfused fivers from rats in a placebo-treated control group.
Other methods and parameters which could alternatively be utifrzed to demonstrate the benefit of the compositions and methods of this invention in redudng isd~emic liver damage include those described by Nakano, et at. (Hepatology 1995;22:539-545).
Any glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor may be used as the second compound of this invention, The term glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor refers to any substance or agent or any combination of substances andlor agents which reduces, retards, or eliminates the enzymatic action of glycogen phosphorytase. The currently known enzymatic action of glycogen phosphorylase is the degradation of glycogen by catalysis of the reversible reaction of a glycogen macrortrolearle and incxganic phosphate to glucose-i-phosphate and a glycogen macromolecule which is one glucosyl residue shorter than the original glycogen macromolecule (forward direction of gfycogenolysis). Such actions are readily determined by those. skilled in the art according to standard assays (e.g., as described hereinafter). A variety of these compounds are inducted in the following published PCT patent applications: PCT

The active compounds and compositions of this invention may be administered alone or in combination with pharme~utically acceptable carriers, in either single or multiple doses. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers indude inert solid diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous solutions and various organic solvents_ The pharmaceutical compositions formed by combining the active compounds of formula I

These pham~aceutical compositions can, if desired, contain additional ingredients such as flavorings, binders, exapients and the like.
Thus, for purposes of oral administration, tablets containing various exapients such as sodium citrate, cafaum carbonate and calaum phosphate may be employed along with various disintegrants such as starch, alginic aad and certain complex silicates, together with binding agents such as potyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, gelatin and acaaa. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often useful for tabletting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as 511ers in soft and hard filled gelatin capsules.

For parenteral administration; solutions of the active compounds and compositions of this invention in sesame or peanut oil, aqueous propylene glycol, or in sterile aqueous solutions may be employed. Such aqueous solutions should be t 0 suitably buffered if necessary and the liquid diiuent first~rendenrd isotonic with sufficient saline or glucose. These partiarlar aqueous solutions are espeaally suitable for intravenous, intramuscxriar, subcutaneous and intraperitoneal administration. In this connection, the sterile aqueous media employed arse all readily available by standard techniques known to those skilled in the art Administration of the compounds of formula 1 of this inventi~ can be via any method which delivers a compound of this invention preferentially to the desired tissue (e.g., nerve, kidney, retina andlor cardiac tissues). These methods indude oral routes, parenteral, intraduodenal routes; etc. Generally, the compounds of the present invention are administered in single (e.g., once daily) or multiple doses or via ant infusion.
The compositions of this invention comprising a compound of fomu~la I in combination with an NHE-1 inhibitor are useful, for example, in reduang or minimizing damage effected directly to any tissue that may be susceptible to ischemialreperfusion injury (e.g., heart, brain, lung, kidney, Liver, gut, skeletal muscle, retina) as the result of an ischemic event (e.g., myocardial infarction). The composition is therefore usefully employed prophytadically to prevent, i.e.
(P~Pe~IY ~ ProPhY~~~IIY) m blunt or stem, tissue darrrage (eg., rtyoc~rdial tissue) in patients who are~at risk for ischemia (e.g., myocardial ischert~ia).
Generally, a compound of formula I of this invention is adrronistened orally, or parenterany (e.g., intravenous, intramuscutar, subcutaneous or intramedullary).
Topical administration may also be indicated, for example, where the patient is suffering from gastrointestinal disorders or whenever the medication is.best applied to the surface of a tissue or organ as determined by the attending physician.

pCTIIB00/00296 The amount and timing of compounds administered wilt, of course,'be dependent on the subject being treated, on the severity of the affliction, on the manner of administration and on the judgement of the prescribing physidan. Thus, because of patient to patient variability, the dosages given below are a guideline and the physician may titrate doses of the drug to achieve the treatment that the physidan considers appropriate for the patient In considering the degree of treatment desired, the physician must balance a variety of factors such as age of the patient, presence of preexisting disease, as well as presence of other diseases.
Thus, for example, in one mode of administration the compounds of formula I
of this invention may be administered just prior to surgery (e.g., within twenty-four hours before surgery for example cardiac surgery) during or subsequent to surgery (e.g., within twenty-four hours after surgery) where there is risk of myocardial ischemia. The compounds of formula I of this invention may also'be administered in a chronic daily mode.
The compounds of the present invention are generally administered in the form of a pham~aceutical composition comprising at least one of the compounds of formula I of this invention together with a pham~aceutically acceptable vehide or diluent. Thus, the compounds of formula I of this invention can be administered individually or together in any conventional oral, parenteral, rectal flr transdem~al dosage forma For purposes of transdem~al (e.g.,topical) administration, dilute sterile, aqueous or partially aqueous solutions (usually in about 0.1 % to 5%
concentration), otherwise similar to the above parenteral solutions, are prepared.
Methods of preparing various phamiaceubcal compositions with a certain amount of active ingredient are known, or will be apparent in light of this disdosure, to those skilled in this art For examples of methods of preparing pharmaceutical compositions, see Reminaton's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Madc Publishing Company, Easton, Pa:, '19th Edition (1995).
Pham~aoeutical compositions according to the invention may contain for example 0.0001%-95% of the compounds) of this invention. In any event, the composition or-formulation to be administered wiA contain a quantity of a compounds) according to the invention in an amount effective to treat the diseaselcondition of the subject being treated.

WO 00!59510 PGT/IB00/00296 The two different compounds of this combination of this invention can be co-administered simultaneously or sequentially in any order, or as a single pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formuta I and an aldose reductase inhibitor as described above or a giyoQgen phosphorylase inhibitor as described above or a cardiovascular agent ~"
Since the present invention has an aspect that relates to the treatment of the diseaselconditions described herein with a combination of active ingredients which may be administered separately, the invention also relates to combining separate pharrnaceuticai compositions in kit form. The kit comprises two separate pham~aceutical compositions: a compound of formula I a prodnrg thereof or a satt of such compound or prodnrg and a second compound as described above The k'rt comprises means for containing the separate compositions such as a container, a divided bottle 'or a divided foil packet. TypicaNy the kit comprises dir~ec~tions for the administration of the separate components. The kit form is particularly advantageous when the separate components are preferably administered in different dosage fom~.s (e.g., oral and parenteral), are administered at different dosage intervals, or when titration of the individual components of the combination is desired by the prescxibing physican.
An example of such a kit is a so-called blister pads. Blister packs are well known in the packaging industry and are being widely used for the packaging of phamiaoeutical unit dosage fortes (tablets, capsules, and the like). Blister packs generally consist of a sheet of relatively stiff material covered with a foil of a preferably transparent plastic material. During the packaging process recesses are formed in the plastic foil. the recesses have the size ancJ shape of the tablets or capsules to be packed. Next, the tablets or capsules are placed in the recesses and the sheet of relatively stiff material is sealed against the plastic foil at the face of the foil which is opposite from the direction in which the recesses were formed. As a result, the tablets or capsules are sealed in the recesses between the plastic foil and the sheet Preferably the strength of the sheet is such that the tablets or capsules can be removed from tide blister pads by manually applying pressure on the recesses whereby an opening is fom~ed in the sheet at the place of the recess. The tablet or capsule can then be removed via said opening.

It may be desirable to provide a memory aid on the kit, e.g., in the form of numbers next to the tablets or capsules whereby the numbers correspond with the days of the regimen which the tablets or capsules so specfied should be ingested.
Another example of such a memory aid is a calendar printed on the card, e.g., as follows ~Fin;t Wesk, Monday, Tuesday, ...etc.... Second Week, Monday, Tuesday,.. "
etc. Other variations of memory aids will be readily apparent. A "daily dose"~
can be a single tablet or capsule or several pills or capsules to be taken on a given day. Also, a daily dose of Formula I compound can consist of one tablet or capsule while a daily dose of the second compound can consist of several tablets or capsules and vice versa. The memory aid should reflect this.
tn another speafic embodiment of the invention, a dispenser designed to dispense the daily doses one at a time in the order of their intended use~is provided.
Preferably, the dispenser is equipped with a memory-aid, so as to further facititate compliance with the regimen. An example of such a memory-aid is a mechanical counter which indicates the number of daily doses that has been dispensed.
Another example of such a memory-aid is a battery-powered miao-chip memory coupled with a liquid crystal readout, or audible reminder signal which, for example, reads out the date that the fast daily dose has been taken andlor reminds one when the next dose is to be taken.

Method 1: To a~solution of 1R-[4-(2R,6S-dimethyl-piperazin-1-y!)-pyrimidin-2-yQ-ethyl butyrate (prepared according to the method of Preparation Four, 72.8 g, 238 mmol) and triethylamine (50 mL, 357 mmol) in isopropanol (793 mL) was added (R)-1-(4-chloro-pyrimidin-2-yl~thyl butyrate (prepared according to the method of Preparation Seven, 54.3 g, 238 mmol). This mixture was stirred at reflux for 12 h and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in a 3:1:1 mixture of tetrahydrofuraNmethanoUwater (1200 mL) and lithium hydroxide hydrate (60 g, 1.43 mot) was added. This mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 h, concentrated somewhat, diluted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and extracted with 10% isopropanoUchloroform (6x). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate; filtered, and evaporated. The residue was diluted with 1:1 ethyl acetatelmethanol (1100 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The precipitate was collected by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated to about 850 mL.
After 1 h, more preapitate had formed and this material was collected by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated somewhat and ethyl acetate was added. After 1 h more precipitate had again formed and this material was collected by filtration. This was repeated one more time to give in total 65.9 g (77%) of the title compound as a white solid. mp:

Method 2, Step A: 1 R-(4-f4-f2-(1 R-Buivrvloxv~thvl~pvrimidin-4-vtl-2R 6S-dimethvl-piperazin-1-vl~-ovrimidin-2-vll-ethyl butyrate. To a solution of (R~2-(1-btrtyryloxy-ethylr3H-pyrimidin-4-one (828 g, 3.9 rr~ol) in dichloromethane (50 L) was added triethylamine (576 mL, 4.1 mol) and the resulting solution was copied to 5 °C. A
solution of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (729 mL, 4.3 mol) in dichloromethane (6 L) was added slowly such that the internal temperature was maintained at <10 °C.
After the addition was complete, the reaction was judged complete by TLC and quenched by the addition of water (5.3 L). The organic layer was separated, washed with water (20 L) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (20 L), and'dried over sodium sulfate. This solution was then slowly added to a solution of 1 R-[4-(2R,fiS-dimethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-pyrimidin-2-ylj-ethyl butyrate dibenzoyl-L-tartrate salt (prepared according to the method of Preparation Fifteen, 2.49 kg, 3.75 mdl) and triethylamine (1.6 L, 11.6 mol) in dimethylacetamide (18 L) such that the internal temperature was maintained at <10 °C. The resulting solution was allowed to stir for 12 h at 10 °C and then diluted with ethyl acetate (40 L) and water (27 L).' The aqueous layer was removed and the organic layer was washed twice with water (40 L) and once with brine (20 L), and dried over sodium sulfate. The resulting solution was partially concentrated (8 L) and then hexanes (23 L) was added. The resulting suspension was allowed to granulate for 12 h and then filtered over cotton.
The solids were dried under vacuum (40 °C) to provide 1178 gm (63%) of the title compound of Example 26, Method 2, Step A as a white solid. The'H NMR and MS data for this compound are in agreement with that of Example 266.

To a solution of 1 R-(4-(4-[2-(1 R-butyryloxy-ethylrpyrimidin-4-ylj-2R,6S-dimethyl-piperazin-1-yI)-pyrimidin-2-yl~ethyl butyrate (prepared according to the method of Example 26, Method 2, Step A, 1140 g, 2.28 mol) in isopropanol (11.4 L) was added 40% aqueous potassium hydroxide (800 mL) at room temperature. The resulting solution was allowed to stir for 16 h and then diluted with water (5 L) and dichloromethane (4 L). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (4 L). The combined organic layers were washed twice with 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide (10 L) and twice with water {5 L), partially concentrated {5 L), diluted with ethyl acetate (4 L), and again partially concentrated (6 L). Hexanes (10 L) was added and the resulting slurry was allowed to stir at reflux for 12 h, cooled to room temperature, and filtered. The resulting solid was dried under vacuum to provide 758 g (93%) of the title compound pC'f/IB00/00296 as a white solid. The mp, 'H NMR, MS, and optical rotation data for this compound are in agreement with that of Example 26. Method 1.
