100011 This is a divisional of Canadian patent application number 2742980, filed November 6, 2009.
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND 01.1"1:11E INVENTION
[00031 ABC
transporters are a family of membrane transporter proteins that regulate the transport of a wide variety of pharmacological agents, potentially toxic drugs, and xenohiotics, as well as anions. ABC transporters are homologous membrane proteins that hind and use cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) !Or their specific activities. Some of these transporters were discovered as multidrug resistance proteins (like the MDR 1-1) glycoprotein, or the multidrug resistance protein, MRP1), defending malignant cancer cells against chemotherapeutic agents. To date, 48 ABC Transporters have been identilial and grouped into 7 families based on their sequence identity and function.
la [0004] ABC transporters regulate a variety of important physiological roles within the body and provide defense against hamiful environmental compounds. Because of this, they represent important potential drug targets for the treatment of diseases associated with defects in the transporter, prevention of drug transport out of the target cell, and intervention in other diseases in which modulation of ABC transporter activity may be beneficial.
[0005] One member of the ABC transporter family commonly associated with disease is the cAMP/ATP-mediated anion channel, CFIR. CFTR is expressed in a variety of cells types, including absorptive and secretory epithelia cells, where it regulates anion flux across the membrane, as well as the activity of other ion channels and proteins. In epithelia cells, normal functioning of MR is critical for the maintenance of electrolyte transport throughout the body, including respiratory and digestive tissue. CFIR is composed of approximately 1480 amino acids that encode a protein made up of a tandem repeat of lb transmembrane domains, each containing six transmembrane helices and a nucleotide binding domain. The two transmembrane domains are linked by a large, polar, regulatory (R)-domain with multiple phosphorylation sites that regulate channel activity and cellular trafficking.
[0006] The gene encoding CFTR has been identified and sequenced (See Gregory, R. J. et al. (1990) Nature 347:382-386; Rich, D. P. et al. (1990) Nature 347:358-362), (Riordan, J. R.
et al. (1989) Science 245:1066-1073). A defect in this gene causes mutations in CFTR
resulting in Cystic Fibrosis ("CF"), the most common fatal genetic disease in humans. Cystic Fibrosis affects approximately one in every 2,500 infants in the United States. Within the general United States population, up to 10 million people carry a single copy of the defective gene without apparent ill effects. In contrast, individuals with two copies of the CF
associated gene suffer from the debilitating and fatal effects of CF, including chronic lung disease.
[0007] In patients with cystic fibrosis, mutations in CPTR endogenously expressed in respiratory epithelia leads to reduced apical anion secretion causing an imbalance in ion and fluid transport. The resulting decrease in anion transport contributes to enhanced mucus accumulation in the lung and the accompanying microbial infections that ultimately cause death in CF patients. In addition to respiratory disease, CF patients typically suffer from gastrointestinal problems and pancreatic insufficiency that, if left untreated, results in death.
In addition, the majority of males with cystic fibrosis are infertile and fertility is decreased among females with cystic fibrosis. In contrast to the severe effects of two copies of the CF
associated gene, individuals with a single copy of the CF associated gene exhibit increased resistance to cholera and to dehydration resulting from diarrhea ¨ perhaps explaining the relatively high frequency of the CF gene within the population.
[0008] Sequence analysis of the CFIR gene of CF chromosomes has revealed a variety of disease causing mutations (Cutting, G. R. et al. (1990) Nature 346:366-369;
Dean, M. et al.
(1990) Cell 61:863:870; and Kerem, B-S. et al. (1989) Science 245:1073-1080;
Kerem, B-S
et al. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:8447-8451). To date, > 1000 disease causing mutations in the CF gene have been identified (http://www.genet.sickkids.on.cakftr/). The most prevalent mutation is a deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 of the CFTR amino acid sequence, and is commonly referred to as AF508-CFTR. This mutation occurs in approximately 70% of the cases of cystic fibrosis and is associated with a severe disease.
[0009] The deletion of residue 508 in AF508-CFTR prevents the nascent protein from folding correctly. This results in the inability of the mutant protein to exit the ER, and traffic to the plasma membrane. As a result, the number of channels present in the membrane is far less than observed in cells expressing wild-type CFTR. In addition to impaired trafficking, the mutation results in defective channel gating. Together, the reduced number of channels in the membrane and the defective gating lead to reduced anion transport across epithelia leading to defective ion and fluid transport. (Quinton, P. M. (1990), FASEB J.
4: 2709-2727). Studies have shown, however, that the reduced numbers of AF508-CFTR in the membrane are functional, albeit less than wild-type CFTR. (Dalemans et al.
(1991), Nature Lond. 354: 526-528; Denning et al., supra; Pasyk and Foskett (1995), J. Cell.
Biochem. 270:
12347-50). In addition to AF508-CFTR, other disease causing mutations in CFTR
that result in defective trafficking, synthesis, and/or channel gating could be up- or down-regulated to alter anion secretion and modify disease progression and/or severity.
[0010] Although CFTR transports a variety of molecules in addition to anions, it is clear that this role (the transport of anions) represents one element in an important mechanism of transporting ions and water across the epithelium. The other elements include the epithelial Na + channel, ENaC, Na/2C1-/K+ co-transporter, Natr-ATPase pump and the basolateral membrane K+ channels, that are responsible for the uptake of chloride into the cell.
[0011] These elements work together to achieve directional transport across the epithelium via their selective expression and localization within the cell.
Chloride absorption takes place by the coordinated activity of ENaC and CFTR present on the apical membrane and the Na+-K+-ATPase pump and Cl- channels expressed on the basolateral surface of the cell. Secondary active transport of chloride from the luminal side leads to the accumulation of intracellular chloride, which can then passively leave the cell via cr channels, resulting in a vectorial transport_ Arrangement of Na+/207K+ co-transporter, Na+-K+-ATPase pump and the basolateral membrane K+ channels on the basolateral surface and CFTR on the luminal side coordinate the secretion of chloride via CFTR on the luminal side.
Because water is probably never actively transported itself, its flow across epithelia depends on tiny transepithelial osmotic gradients generated by the bulk flow of sodium and chloride.
[0012] In addition to Cystic Fibrosis, modulation of CFTR activity may be beneficial for other diseases not directly caused by mutations in CFTR, such as secretory diseases and other protein folding diseases mediated by CFTR. These include, but are not limited to, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dry eye disease, and Sjogren's Syndrome.
[0013] COPD is characterized by airflow limitation that is progressive and not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is due to mucus hypersecretion, emphysema, and

The other elements include the epithelial Na + channel, ENaC, Na/2C1-/K+ co-transporter, Natr-ATPase pump and the basolateral membrane K+ channels, that are responsible for the uptake of chloride into the cell.
[0011] These elements work together to achieve directional transport across the epithelium via their selective expression and localization within the cell.
Chloride absorption takes place by the coordinated activity of ENaC and CFTR present on the apical membrane and the Na+-K+-ATPase pump and Cl- channels expressed on the basolateral surface of the cell. Secondary active transport of chloride from the luminal side leads to the accumulation of intracellular chloride, which can then passively leave the cell via cr channels, resulting in a vectorial transport_ Arrangement of Na+/207K+ co-transporter, Na+-K+-ATPase pump and the basolateral membrane K+ channels on the basolateral surface and CFTR on the luminal side coordinate the secretion of chloride via CFTR on the luminal side.
Because water is probably never actively transported itself, its flow across epithelia depends on tiny transepithelial osmotic gradients generated by the bulk flow of sodium and chloride.
[0012] In addition to Cystic Fibrosis, modulation of CFTR activity may be beneficial for other diseases not directly caused by mutations in CFTR, such as secretory diseases and other protein folding diseases mediated by CFTR. These include, but are not limited to, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dry eye disease, and Sjogren's Syndrome.
[0013] COPD is characterized by airflow limitation that is progressive and not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is due to mucus hypersecretion, emphysema, and
3 bronchiolitis. Activators of mutant or wild-type CFTR offer a potential treatment of mucus hypersecretion and impaired mucociliary clearance that is common in COPD.
Specifically, increasing anion secretion across CFTR may facilitate fluid transport into the airway surface liquid to hydrate the mucus and optimized periciliary fluid viscosity. This would lead to enhanced mucociliary clearance and a reduction in the symptoms associated with COPD.
Dry eye disease is characterized by a decrease in tear aqueous production and abnormal tear film lipid, protein and mucin profiles. There are many causes of dry eye, some of which include age, Lasik eye surgery, arthritis, medications, chemical/thermal burns, allergies, and diseases, such as Cystic Fibrosis and Sjogrens's syndrome. Increasing anion secretion via CFTR would enhance fluid transport from the corneal endothelial cells and secretory glands surrounding the eye to increase corneal hydration. This would help to alleviate the symptoms associated with dry eye disease. Sjogrens's syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks moisture-producing glands throughout the body, including the eye, mouth, skin, respiratory tissue, liver, vagina, and gut. Symptoms, include, dry eye, mouth, and vagina, as well as lung disease. The disease is also associated with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, systemic sclerosis, and polymypositis/deimatomyositis.
Defective protein trafficking is believed to cause the disease, for which treatment options are limited.
Modulators of CFTR activity may hydrate the various organs afflicted by the disease and help to elevate the associated symptoms.
[0014] As discussed above, it is believed that the deletion of residue 508 in prevents the nascent protein from folding correctly, resulting in the inability of this mutant protein to exit the ER, and traffic to the plasma membrane. As a result, insufficient amounts of the mature protein are present at the plasma membrane and chloride transport within epithelial tissues is significantly reduced. In fact, this cellular phenomenon of defective ER
processing of ABC transporters by the ER machinery has been shown to be the underlying basis not only for CF disease, but for a wide range of other isolated and inherited diseases.
The two ways that the ER machinery can malfunction is either by loss of coupling to ER
export of the proteins leading to degradation, or by the ER accumulation of these defective/misfolded proteins [Aridor M, et al., Nature Med., 5(7), pp 745- 751 (1999);

[0015] In addition to up-regulation of CFTR activity, reducing anion secretion by CFTR
modulators may be beneficial for the treatment of secretory diarrheas, in which epithelial water transport is dramatically increased as a result of secretagogue activated chloride transport. The mechanism involves elevation of cAMP and stimulation of CFTR.
[0016] Although there are numerous causes of diarrhea, the major consequences of diarrheal diseases, resulting from excessive chloride transport are common to all, and include dehydration, acidosis, impaired growth and death.
[0017] Acute and chronic diarrheas represent a major medical problem in many areas of the world. Diarrhea is both a significant factor in malnutrition and the leading cause of death (5,000,000 deaths/year) in children less than five years old.
[0018] Secretory diarrheas are also a dangerous condition in patients of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and chronic inflammatory bowel disease (1BD).
million travelers to developing countries from industrialized nations every year develop diarrhea, with the severity and number of cases of diarrhea varying depending on the country and area of travel.
[0019] Diarrhea in barn animals and pets such as cows, pigs and horses, sheep, goats, cats and dogs, also known as scours, is a major cause of death in these animals.
Diarrhea can result from any major transition, such as weaning or physical movement, as well as in response to a variety of bacterial or viral infections and generally occurs within the first few hours of the animal's life.
[0020] The most common diarrhea causing bacteria is enterotoxogenic E-coli (EIEC) having the K99 pilus antigen. Common viral causes of diarrhea include rotavirus and coronavirus. Other infectious agents include cryptosporidium, giardia lamblia, and salmonella, among others.
[0021] Symptoms of rotaviral infection include excretion of watery feces, dehydration and weakness. Coronavirus causes a more severe illness in the newborn animals, and has a higher mortality rate than rotaviral infection. Often, however, a young animal may be infected with more than one virus or with a combination of viral and bacterial microorganisms at one time. This dramatically increases the severity of the disease.
[0022] Accordingly, there is a need for modulators of an ABC transporter activity, and compositions thereof, that can be used to modulate the activity of the ABC
transporter in the cell membrane of a mammal.
[0023] There is a need for methods of treating ABC transporter mediated diseases using such modulators of ABC transporter activity.
[0024] There is a need for methods of modulating an ABC transporter activity in an ex vivo cell membrane of a mammal.
[0025] There is a need for modulators of CFTR activity that can be used to modulate the activity of CFTR in the cell membrane of a mammal.

[0031] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0032] I. DEFINTIIONS
[0033] As used herein, the following definitions shall apply unless otherwise indicated.
[0034] The term "ABC-transporter" as used herein means an ABC-transporter protein or a fragment thereof comprising at least one binding domain, wherein said protein or fiagment thereof is present in vivo or in vitro. The term "binding domain" as used herein means a domain on the ABC-transporter that can bind to a modulator. See, e.g., Hwang, T. C. et al., J.
Gen. Physiol. (1998): 111(3), 477-90.
[0035] The term "CFTR" as used herein means cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator or a mutation thereof capable of regulator activity, including, but not limited to, AF508 CFTR and G551D CFTR (see, e.g., http://www.genet.sickkids.on.cakftd, for CFTR
mutations).
[0036] The term "modulating" as used herein means increasing or decreasing, e.g. activity, by a measurable amount. Compounds that modulate ABC Transporter activity, such as CFTR activity, by increasing the activity of the ABC Transporter, e.g., a CFTR
anion channel, are called agonists. Compounds that modulate ABC Transporter activity, such as CFTR activity, by decreasing the activity of the ABC Transporter, e.g., CFTR
anion channel, are called antagonists. An agonist interacts with an ABC Transporter, such as CFTR anion channel, to increase the ability of the receptor to transduce an intracellular signal in response to endogenous ligand binding. An antagonist interacts with an ABC Transporter, such as CFTR, and competes with the endogenous ligand(s) or substrate(s) for binding site(s) on the receptor to decrease the ability of the receptor to transduce an intracellular signal in response to endogenous ligand binding.
[0037] The phrase "treating or reducing the severity of an ABC Transporter mediated disease" refers both to treatments for diseases that are directly caused by ABC Transporter and/or CFIR activities and alleviation of symptoms of diseases not directly caused by ABC
Transporter and/or C1-.T1t. anion channel activities. Examples of diseases whose symptoras may be affected by ABC Transporter and/or CF1lit activity include, but are not limited to, Cystic fibrosis, Hereditary emphysema, Hereditary hemochromatosis, Coagulation-Fibrinolysis deficiencies, such as Protein C deficiency, Type 1 hereditary angioedema, Lipid processing deficiencies, such as Familial hypercholesterolenna, Type 1 chylomicronemia, Abetalipoproteinemia, Lysosomal storage diseases, such as I-cell disease/Pseudo-Hurler, Mucopolysaccharidoses, Sandhof/Tay-Sachs, Crigler-Najjar type LE, Polyendocrinopadry/Hyperinsulemia, Diabetes mellitus, Laron dwarfism, Myleoperoxidase deficiency, Primary hypoparathyroidism, Melanoma, Glycanosis CDG type 1, Hereditary emphysema, Congenital hyperthyroidism, Osteogenesis imperfecta, Hereditary hypofibrinogenemia, ACT deficiency, Diabetes insipidus Neurophysiol DI, Nephrogenic DL Charcot-Marie Tooth syndrome, Perlizaeus-Merzbacher disease, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Progressive supranuclear plasy, Pick's disease, several polyglutamine neurological disorders such as Huntington, Spinocerebullar ataxia type I, Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, Dentatorabal pallidoluysian, and Myotonic dystrophy, as well as Spongiform encephalopathies, such as Hereditary Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Fabry disease, Straussler-Scheinker syndrome, COPD, dry-eye disease, and Sjogren's disease.

[0015] In addition to up-regulation of CFTR activity, reducing anion secretion by CFTR
modulators may be beneficial for the treatment of secretory diarrheas, in which epithelial water transport is dramatically increased as a result of secretagogue activated chloride transport. The mechanism involves elevation of cAMP and stimulation of CFTR.
[0016] Although there are numerous causes of diarrhea, the major consequences of diarrheal diseases, resulting from excessive chloride transport are common to all, and include dehydration, acidosis, impaired growth and death.
[0017] Acute and chronic diarrheas represent a major medical problem in many areas of the world. Diarrhea is both a significant factor in malnutrition and the leading cause of death (5,000,000 deaths/year) in children less than five years old.
[0018] Secretory diarrheas are also a dangerous condition in patients of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and chronic inflammatory bowel disease (1BD).
million travelers to developing countries from industrialized nations every year develop diarrhea, with the severity and number of cases of diarrhea varying depending on the country and area of travel.
[0019] Diarrhea in barn animals and pets such as cows, pigs and horses, sheep, goats, cats and dogs, also known as scours, is a major cause of death in these animals.
Diarrhea can result from any major transition, such as weaning or physical movement, as well as in response to a variety of bacterial or viral infections and generally occurs within the first few hours of the animal's life.
[0020] The most common diarrhea causing bacteria is enterotoxogenic E-coli (EIEC) having the K99 pilus antigen. Common viral causes of diarrhea include rotavirus and coronavirus. Other infectious agents include cryptosporidium, giardia lamblia, and salmonella, among others.
[0021] Symptoms of rotaviral infection include excretion of watery feces, dehydration and weakness. Coronavirus causes a more severe illness in the newborn animals, and has a higher mortality rate than rotaviral infection. Often, however, a young animal may be infected with more than one virus or with a combination of viral and bacterial microorganisms at one time. This dramatically increases the severity of the disease.
[0022] Accordingly, there is a need for modulators of an ABC transporter activity, and compositions thereof, that can be used to modulate the activity of the ABC
transporter in the cell membrane of a mammal.
[0023] There is a need for methods of treating ABC transporter mediated diseases using such modulators of ABC transporter activity.
[0024] There is a need for methods of modulating an ABC transporter activity in an ex vivo cell membrane of a mammal.
[0025] There is a need for modulators of CFTR activity that can be used to modulate the activity of CFTR in the cell membrane of a mammal.
[0026] There is a need for methods of treating CFTR-mediated diseases using such modulators of CFTR activity.

[0031] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0032] I. DEFINTIIONS
[0033] As used herein, the following definitions shall apply unless otherwise indicated.
[0034] The term "ABC-transporter" as used herein means an ABC-transporter protein or a fragment thereof comprising at least one binding domain, wherein said protein or fiagment thereof is present in vivo or in vitro. The term "binding domain" as used herein means a domain on the ABC-transporter that can bind to a modulator. See, e.g., Hwang, T. C. et al., J.
Gen. Physiol. (1998): 111(3), 477-90.
[0035] The term "CFTR" as used herein means cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator or a mutation thereof capable of regulator activity, including, but not limited to, AF508 CFTR and G551D CFTR (see, e.g., http://www.genet.sickkids.on.cakftd, for CFTR
mutations).
[0036] The term "modulating" as used herein means increasing or decreasing, e.g. activity, by a measurable amount. Compounds that modulate ABC Transporter activity, such as CFTR activity, by increasing the activity of the ABC Transporter, e.g., a CFTR
anion channel, are called agonists. Compounds that modulate ABC Transporter activity, such as CFTR activity, by decreasing the activity of the ABC Transporter, e.g., CFTR
anion channel, are called antagonists. An agonist interacts with an ABC Transporter, such as CFTR anion channel, to increase the ability of the receptor to transduce an intracellular signal in response to endogenous ligand binding. An antagonist interacts with an ABC Transporter, such as CFTR, and competes with the endogenous ligand(s) or substrate(s) for binding site(s) on the receptor to decrease the ability of the receptor to transduce an intracellular signal in response to endogenous ligand binding.
[0037] The phrase "treating or reducing the severity of an ABC Transporter mediated disease" refers both to treatments for diseases that are directly caused by ABC Transporter and/or CFIR activities and alleviation of symptoms of diseases not directly caused by ABC
Transporter and/or C1-.T1t. anion channel activities. Examples of diseases whose symptoras may be affected by ABC Transporter and/or CF1lit activity include, but are not limited to, Cystic fibrosis, Hereditary emphysema, Hereditary hemochromatosis, Coagulation-Fibrinolysis deficiencies, such as Protein C deficiency, Type 1 hereditary angioedema, Lipid processing deficiencies, such as Familial hypercholesterolenna, Type 1 chylomicronemia, Abetalipoproteinemia, Lysosomal storage diseases, such as I-cell disease/Pseudo-Hurler, Mucopolysaccharidoses, Sandhof/Tay-Sachs, Crigler-Najjar type LE, Polyendocrinopadry/Hyperinsulemia, Diabetes mellitus, Laron dwarfism, Myleoperoxidase deficiency, Primary hypoparathyroidism, Melanoma, Glycanosis CDG type 1, Hereditary emphysema, Congenital hyperthyroidism, Osteogenesis imperfecta, Hereditary hypofibrinogenemia, ACT deficiency, Diabetes insipidus Neurophysiol DI, Nephrogenic DL Charcot-Marie Tooth syndrome, Perlizaeus-Merzbacher disease, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Progressive supranuclear plasy, Pick's disease, several polyglutamine neurological disorders such as Huntington, Spinocerebullar ataxia type I, Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy, Dentatorabal pallidoluysian, and Myotonic dystrophy, as well as Spongiform encephalopathies, such as Hereditary Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Fabry disease, Straussler-Scheinker syndrome, COPD, dry-eye disease, and Sjogren's disease.

[00184] The compounds of formulae (I, Ic, Id, II, 11a, 11b, 11c, and Ild) may be readily synthesized from commercially available or known starting materials by known methods.
Exemplary synthetic routes to produce compounds of formulae (I, Ic, Id, 11, Ha, 1Tb, 11c, and IId) are provided below in Schemes 1-22 below.
[00185] Preparation of the compounds of the invention is achieved by the coupling of a ring B amine with a ring A carboxylic acid as illustrated in Scheme 1.
[00186] Scheme 1:

k e 0 lb a) SOC12, DMF (cat.), DCM; b) R141 , pyr.; c) R1--M 415 HATU, YEA, DCM/DMF.
[00187] Referring to Scheme 1, the acid la may be converted to the corresponding acid chloride lb using thionyl chloride in the presence of a catalystic amount of H
dimethylformamide. Reaction of the acid chloride with the amine R1¨N Co provides compounds of the invention I. Alternatively, the acid la may be directly coupled to the amine using known coupling reagents such as, for example, HATU in the presence of triethylamine.
[00188] Preparation of the acids la may be achieved as illustrated in Scheme 2.
Scheme 2:

[00189] Referring to Scheme 2, the nitrile 2a reacts with a suitable bromochloroalkane in the presence of sodium hydroxide and a phase tranfer catalyst such as butyltriethylammonium chloride to provide the intermediate 2b. Hydrolysis of the nitrile of 2b provides the acid la.
In some instances, isolation of the intermediate 2b is unnecessary.
[00190] The phenylacetonitiles 2a are commercially available or may be prepared as illustrated in Scheme 3.

[00191] Referring to Scheme 3, reaction of an aryl bromide 3a with carbon monoxide in the presence of methanol and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) provides the ester 3b.
Reduction of 3b with lithium aluminum hydride provides the alcohol 3c which is converted to the halide 3d with thionyl chloride. Reaction of 3d with sodium cyanide provides the nitrile 2a.
[00192] Other methods of producing the nitrile 2a are illustrated in schemes 4 and 5 below.

[00193] Preparation of Ri-g components is illustrated in the schemes that follow.
A number of methods for preparing ring B compounds wherein ring B is an indole have been reported. See for example Angew. Chem. 2005, 44, 606; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 5342,); J. Comb. Chem. 2005, 7, 130; Tetrahedron 2006, 62, 3439; J. Chem. Soc.
Perkin Trans. 1, 2000, 1045.
[00194] One method for preparing R1-11 is illustrated in Scheme 6.

[00195] Referring to Scheme 6, a nitroaniline 6a is converted to the hydrazine 6b using nitrous acid in the presence of HC1 and stannous chloride. Reaction of 6b with an aldehyde or ketone CH3C(0)R3 provides the hydrazone 6c which on treatment with phophoric acid in toluene leads to a mixture of nitro indoles 6d and 6e. Catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of palladium on carbon provides a mixture of the amino indoles 6f and 6g which may be separated using know methods such as, for example, chromatography.
[00196] An alternative method is illustrated in scheme 7.

[00245] The exact amount required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the infection, the particular agent, its mode of administration, and the like. The compounds of the invention are preferably formulated in dosage unit foiiii for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. The expression "dosage unit form" as used herein refers to a physically discrete unit of agent appropriate for the patient to be treated. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific effective dose level for any particular patient or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed, and like factors well known in the medical arts. The term "patient", as used herein, means an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human.
[00246] The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, as an oral or nasal spray, or the like, depending on the severity of the infection being treated. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the invention may be administered orally or parenterally at dosage levels of about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg and preferably from about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.
[002471 Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
[00248] Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.
[00249] The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.
[00250] In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present invention, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle.
Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be contract/I Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.
[00251] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.
[00252] Solid dosage foluts for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicakium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar--agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearat_e, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.
[00253] Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art.
They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like.
[00254] The active compounds can also be in microencapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical foitnulating art.
In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.
[00255] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, eardrops, and eye drops are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. Additionally, the present invention contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms are prepared by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
[00256] As described generally above, the compounds of the invention are useful as modulators of ABC transporters. Thus, without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the compounds and compositions are particularly useful for treating or lessening the severity of a disease, condition, or disorder where hyperactivity or inactivity of ABC
transporters is implicated in the disease, condition, or disorder. When hyperactivity or inactivity of an ABC transporter is implicated in a particular disease, condition, or disorder, the disease, condition, or disorder may also be refeired to as a "ABC
transporter-mediated disease, condition or disorder". Accordingly, in another aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating or lessening the severity of a disease, condition, or disorder where hyperactivity or inactivity of an ABC transporter is implicated in the disease state.
[00257] The activity of a compound utilized in this invention as a modulator of an ABC
transporter may be assayed according to methods described generally in the art and in the Examples herein.
[00258] It will also be appreciated that the compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present invention can be employed in combination therapies, that is, the compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions can be administered concurrently with, prior to, or subsequent to, one or more other desired therapeutics or medical procedures.
The particular combination of therapies (therapeutics or procedures) to employ in a combination regimen will take into account compatibility of the desired therapeutics and/or procedures and the desired therapeutic effect to be achieved. It will also be appreciated that the therapies employed may achieve a desired effect for the same disorder (for example, an inventive compound may be administered concurrently with another agent used to treat the same disorder), or they may achieve different effects (e.g., control of any adverse effects).
As used herein, additional therapeutic agents that are normally administered to treat or prevent a particular disease, or condition, are known as "appropriate for the disease, or condition, being treated".
[00259] The amount of additional therapeutic agent present in the compositions of this invention will be no more than the amount that would normally be administered in a composition comprising that therapeutic agent as the only active agent.
Preferably the amount of additional therapeutic agent in the presently disclosed compositions will range from about 50% to 100% of the amount normally present in a composition comprising that agent as the only therapeutically active agent.
[00260] The compounds of this invention or pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof may also be incorporated into compositions for coating an implantable medical device, such as prostheses, artificial valves, vascular grafts, stents and catheters.
Accordingly, the present invention, in another aspect, includes a composition for coating an implantable device comprising a compound of the present invention as described generally above, and in classes and subclasses herein, and a carrier suitable for coating said implantable device. In still another aspect, the present invention includes an implantable device coated with a composition comprising a compound of the present invention as described generally above, and in classes and subclasses herein, and a carrier suitable for coating said implantable device. Suitable coatings and the general preparation of coated implantable devices are described in US Patents 6,099,562; 5,886,026; and 5,304,121. The coatings are typically biocompatible polymeric materials such as a hydrogel polymer, polymethyldisiloxane, polycaprolactone, polyethylene glycol, polylactic acid, ethylene vinyl acetate, and mixtures thereof. The coatings may optionally be further covered by a suitable topcoat of fluorosilicone, polysaccarides, polyethylene glycol, phospholipids or combinations thereof to impart controlled release characteristics in the composition.
[00261] Another aspect of the invention relates to modulating ABC transporter activity in a biological sample or a patient (e.g., in vitro or in vivo), which method comprises administering to the patient, or contacting said biological sample with a compound of formula I or a composition comprising said compound. The term "biological sample", as used herein, includes, without limitation, cell cultures or extracts thereof; biopsied material obtained from a mammal or extracts thereof; and blood, saliva, urine, feces, semen, tears, or other body fluids or extracts thereof.
[00262] Modulation of ABC transporter activity in a biological sample is useful for a variety of purposes that are known to one of skill in the art. Examples of such purposes include, but are not limited to, the study of ABC transporters in biological and pathological phenomena; and the comparative evaluation of new modulators of ABC
transporters.
[00263] In yet another embodiment, a method of modulating activity of an anion channel in vitro or in vivo, is provided comprising the step of contacting said channel with a compound of formulae (I, Ic, Id, II, Ha, Hb, He, and Hd). In preferred embodiments, the anion channel is a chloride channel or a bicarbonate channel. In other preferred embodiments, the anion channel is a chloride channel.
[00264] According to an alternative embodiment, the present invention provides a method of increasing the number of functional ABC transporters in a membrane of a cell, comprising the step of contacting said cell with a compound of formulae (I, Ic, Id, II, Ha, Ilb, Hc, and lid). The term "functional ABC transporter" as used herein means an ABC
transporter that is capable of transport activity. In preferred embodiments, said functional ABC
transporter is CFTR.
[00265] According to another preferred embodiment, the activity of the ABC
transporter is measured by measuring the transmembrane voltage potential. Means for measuring the voltage potential across a membrane in the biological sample may employ any of the known methods in the art, such as optical membrane potential assay or other electrophysiological methods.
[00266] The optical membrane potential assay utilizes voltage-sensitive FRET
sensors described by Gonzalez and Tsien (See, Gonzalez, J. E. and R. Y. Tsien (1995) "Voltage sensing by fluorescence resonance energy transfer in single cells" Biophys J
69(4): 1272-80, and Gonzalez, J. E. and R. Y. Tsien (1997) "Improved indicators of cell membrane potential that use fluorescence resonance energy transfer" Chem Biol 4(4): 269-77) in combination with instrumentation for measuring fluorescence changes such as the Voltage/Ion Probe Reader (NUR) (See, Gonzalez, J. E., K. Oades, et al. (1999) "Cell-based assays and instrumentation for screening ion-channel targets" Drug Discov Today 4(9): 431-439).
[00267] These voltage sensitive assays are based on the change in fluorescence resonant energy transfer (FRET) between the membrane-soluble, voltage-sensitive dye, DiSBAC2(3), and a fluorescent phospholipid, CC2-DMPE, which is attached to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane and acts as a FRET donor. Changes in membrane potential (Vm) cause the negatively charged DiSBAC2(3) to redistribute across the plasma membrane and the amount of energy transfer from CC2-DMPE changes accordingly. The changes in fluorescence emission can be monitored using VIPRIm II, which is an integrated liquid handler and fluorescent detector designed to conduct cell-based screens in 96- or 384-well microtiter plates.

[00184] The compounds of formulae (I, Ic, Id, II, 11a, 11b, 11c, and Ild) may be readily synthesized from commercially available or known starting materials by known methods.
Exemplary synthetic routes to produce compounds of formulae (I, Ic, Id, 11, Ha, 1Tb, 11c, and IId) are provided below in Schemes 1-22 below.
[00185] Preparation of the compounds of the invention is achieved by the coupling of a ring B amine with a ring A carboxylic acid as illustrated in Scheme 1.

[00187] Referring to Scheme 1, the acid la may be converted to the corresponding acid chloride lb using thionyl chloride in the presence of a catalystic amount of H
dimethylformamide. Reaction of the acid chloride with the amine R1¨N Co provides compounds of the invention I. Alternatively, the acid la may be directly coupled to the amine using known coupling reagents such as, for example, HATU in the presence of triethylamine.
[00188] Preparation of the acids la may be achieved as illustrated in Scheme 2.

[00189] Referring to Scheme 2, the nitrile 2a reacts with a suitable bromochloroalkane in the presence of sodium hydroxide and a phase tranfer catalyst such as butyltriethylammonium chloride to provide the intermediate 2b. Hydrolysis of the nitrile of 2b provides the acid la.
In some instances, isolation of the intermediate 2b is unnecessary.

[00191] Referring to Scheme 3, reaction of an aryl bromide 3a with carbon monoxide in the presence of methanol and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) provides the ester 3b.
Reduction of 3b with lithium aluminum hydride provides the alcohol 3c which is converted to the halide 3d with thionyl chloride. Reaction of 3d with sodium cyanide provides the nitrile 2a.
[00192] Other methods of producing the nitrile 2a are illustrated in schemes 4 and 5 below.

[00193] Preparation of Ri-g components is illustrated in the schemes that follow.
A number of methods for preparing ring B compounds wherein ring B is an indole have been reported. See for example Angew. Chem. 2005, 44, 606; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 5342,); J. Comb. Chem. 2005, 7, 130; Tetrahedron 2006, 62, 3439; J. Chem. Soc.

[00195] Referring to Scheme 6, a nitroaniline 6a is converted to the hydrazine 6b using nitrous acid in the presence of HC1 and stannous chloride. Reaction of 6b with an aldehyde or ketone CH3C(0)R3 provides the hydrazone 6c which on treatment with phophoric acid in toluene leads to a mixture of nitro indoles 6d and 6e. Catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of palladium on carbon provides a mixture of the amino indoles 6f and 6g which may be separated using know methods such as, for example, chromatography.

In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.
[00249] The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.
[00250] In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present invention, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle.
Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be contract/I Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.
[00251] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.
[00252] Solid dosage foluts for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicakium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar--agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearat_e, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.
[00253] Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art.
They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like.
[00254] The active compounds can also be in microencapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical foitnulating art.
In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.
[00255] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, eardrops, and eye drops are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. Additionally, the present invention contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms are prepared by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
[00256] As described generally above, the compounds of the invention are useful as modulators of ABC transporters. Thus, without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the compounds and compositions are particularly useful for treating or lessening the severity of a disease, condition, or disorder where hyperactivity or inactivity of ABC
transporters is implicated in the disease, condition, or disorder. When hyperactivity or inactivity of an ABC transporter is implicated in a particular disease, condition, or disorder, the disease, condition, or disorder may also be refeired to as a "ABC
transporter-mediated disease, condition or disorder". Accordingly, in another aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating or lessening the severity of a disease, condition, or disorder where hyperactivity or inactivity of an ABC transporter is implicated in the disease state.
[00257] The activity of a compound utilized in this invention as a modulator of an ABC
transporter may be assayed according to methods described generally in the art and in the Examples herein.
[00258] It will also be appreciated that the compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present invention can be employed in combination therapies, that is, the compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions can be administered concurrently with, prior to, or subsequent to, one or more other desired therapeutics or medical procedures.
The particular combination of therapies (therapeutics or procedures) to employ in a combination regimen will take into account compatibility of the desired therapeutics and/or procedures and the desired therapeutic effect to be achieved. It will also be appreciated that the therapies employed may achieve a desired effect for the same disorder (for example, an inventive compound may be administered concurrently with another agent used to treat the same disorder), or they may achieve different effects (e.g., control of any adverse effects).
As used herein, additional therapeutic agents that are normally administered to treat or prevent a particular disease, or condition, are known as "appropriate for the disease, or condition, being treated".
[00259] The amount of additional therapeutic agent present in the compositions of this invention will be no more than the amount that would normally be administered in a composition comprising that therapeutic agent as the only active agent.
Preferably the amount of additional therapeutic agent in the presently disclosed compositions will range from about 50% to 100% of the amount normally present in a composition comprising that agent as the only therapeutically active agent.
[00260] The compounds of this invention or pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof may also be incorporated into compositions for coating an implantable medical device, such as prostheses, artificial valves, vascular grafts, stents and catheters.
Accordingly, the present invention, in another aspect, includes a composition for coating an implantable device comprising a compound of the present invention as described generally above, and in classes and subclasses herein, and a carrier suitable for coating said implantable device. In still another aspect, the present invention includes an implantable device coated with a composition comprising a compound of the present invention as described generally above, and in classes and subclasses herein, and a carrier suitable for coating said implantable device. Suitable coatings and the general preparation of coated implantable devices are described in US Patents 6,099,562; 5,886,026; and 5,304,121. The coatings are typically biocompatible polymeric materials such as a hydrogel polymer, polymethyldisiloxane, polycaprolactone, polyethylene glycol, polylactic acid, ethylene vinyl acetate, and mixtures thereof. The coatings may optionally be further covered by a suitable topcoat of fluorosilicone, polysaccarides, polyethylene glycol, phospholipids or combinations thereof to impart controlled release characteristics in the composition.
[00261] Another aspect of the invention relates to modulating ABC transporter activity in a biological sample or a patient (e.g., in vitro or in vivo), which method comprises administering to the patient, or contacting said biological sample with a compound of formula I or a composition comprising said compound. The term "biological sample", as used herein, includes, without limitation, cell cultures or extracts thereof; biopsied material obtained from a mammal or extracts thereof; and blood, saliva, urine, feces, semen, tears, or other body fluids or extracts thereof.
[00262] Modulation of ABC transporter activity in a biological sample is useful for a variety of purposes that are known to one of skill in the art. Examples of such purposes include, but are not limited to, the study of ABC transporters in biological and pathological phenomena; and the comparative evaluation of new modulators of ABC
transporters.
[00263] In yet another embodiment, a method of modulating activity of an anion channel in vitro or in vivo, is provided comprising the step of contacting said channel with a compound of formulae (I, Ic, Id, II, Ha, Hb, He, and Hd). In preferred embodiments, the anion channel is a chloride channel or a bicarbonate channel. In other preferred embodiments, the anion channel is a chloride channel.
[00264] According to an alternative embodiment, the present invention provides a method of increasing the number of functional ABC transporters in a membrane of a cell, comprising the step of contacting said cell with a compound of formulae (I, Ic, Id, II, Ha, Ilb, Hc, and lid). The term "functional ABC transporter" as used herein means an ABC
transporter that is capable of transport activity. In preferred embodiments, said functional ABC
transporter is CFTR.
[00265] According to another preferred embodiment, the activity of the ABC
transporter is measured by measuring the transmembrane voltage potential. Means for measuring the voltage potential across a membrane in the biological sample may employ any of the known methods in the art, such as optical membrane potential assay or other electrophysiological methods.
[00266] The optical membrane potential assay utilizes voltage-sensitive FRET
sensors described by Gonzalez and Tsien (See, Gonzalez, J. E. and R. Y. Tsien (1995) "Voltage sensing by fluorescence resonance energy transfer in single cells" Biophys J
69(4): 1272-80, and Gonzalez, J. E. and R. Y. Tsien (1997) "Improved indicators of cell membrane potential that use fluorescence resonance energy transfer" Chem Biol 4(4): 269-77) in combination with instrumentation for measuring fluorescence changes such as the Voltage/Ion Probe Reader (NUR) (See, Gonzalez, J. E., K. Oades, et al. (1999) "Cell-based assays and instrumentation for screening ion-channel targets" Drug Discov Today 4(9): 431-439).
[00267] These voltage sensitive assays are based on the change in fluorescence resonant energy transfer (FRET) between the membrane-soluble, voltage-sensitive dye, DiSBAC2(3), and a fluorescent phospholipid, CC2-DMPE, which is attached to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane and acts as a FRET donor. Changes in membrane potential (Vm) cause the negatively charged DiSBAC2(3) to redistribute across the plasma membrane and the amount of energy transfer from CC2-DMPE changes accordingly. The changes in fluorescence emission can be monitored using VIPRIm II, which is an integrated liquid handler and fluorescent detector designed to conduct cell-based screens in 96- or 384-well microtiter plates.
[00268] In another aspect the present invention provides a kit for use in measuring the activity of a ABC transporter or a fragment thereof in a biological sample in vitro or in vivo comprising (i) a composition comprising a compound of formulae (I, Ic, Id, H, lIIa, Ilb, [Ic, and ffd) or any of the above embodiments; and (ii) instructions for a.) contacting the composition with the biological sample and b.) measuring activity of said ABC
transporter or a fragment thereof. In one embodiment, the kit further comprises instructions for a.) contacting an additional composition with the biological sample; b.) measuring the activity of said ABC transporter or a fragment thereof in the presence of said additional compound, and c.) comparing the activity of the ABC transporter in the presence of the additional compound with the density of the ABC transporter in the presence of a composition of formulae (I, Ic, Id, II, Ha, ilb, IIc, and II(1). In preferred embodiments, the kit is used to measure the density of CFTR.
[00269] In order that the invention described herein may be more fully understood, the following examples are set forth. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting this invention in any manner.

The assay utilizes fluorescent voltage sensing dyes to measure changes in membrane potential using a fluorescent plate reader (e.g., FLIPR 111, Molecular Devices, Inc.) as a readout for increase in functional AF508-CFTR in NTH 3T3 cells. The driving force for the response is the creation of a chloride ion gradient in conjunction with channel activation by a single liquid addition step after the cells have previously been treated with compounds and subsequently loaded with a voltage sensing dye.
Identification of Correction Compounds To identify small molecules that correct the trafficking defect associated with AF508-C1-"IR; a single-addition HTS assay format was developed. Assay Plates containing cells are incubated for ¨2-4 hours in tissue culture incubator at 37oC, 5%CO2, 90%
humidity. Cells are then ready for compound exposure after adhering to the bottom of the assay plates.
The cells were incubated in serum-free medium for 16-24 hrs in tissue culture incubator at 37oC, 5%CO2, 90% humidity in the presence or absence (negative control) of test compound. The cells were subsequently rinsed 3X with Krebs Ringers solution and loaded with a voltage sensing redistribution dye. To activate AF508-CFTR, 10 tM forskolin and the CFTR
potentiator, genistein (20 uM), were added along with C1--free medium to each well. The addition of Cr-free medium promoted Cl- efflux in response to AF508-CFIR activation and the resulting membrane depolarization was optically monitored using voltage sensor dyes.
Identification of Potentiator Compounds To identify potentiators of AF508-CFTR, a double-addition HTS assay format was developed. This HTS assay utilizes fluorescent voltage sensing dyes to measure changes in membrane potential on the FLIPR III as a measurement for increase in gating (conductance) of AF508 CFTR in temperature-corrected AF508 CFTR NIH 3T3 cells. The driving force for the response is a Cl- ion gradient in conjunction with channel activation with forskolin in a single liquid addition step using a fluoresecent plate reader such as FLIPR TR after the cells have previously been treated with potentiator compounds (or DMSO vehicle control) and subsequently loaded with a redistribution dye.

Electrophysiological Assays for assaying AF508-CFIR modulation properties of compounds.
1.Ussing Chamber Assay Ussing chamber experiments were performed on polarized airway epithelial cells expressing AF508-CFIR to further characterize the AF508-CFTR modulators identified in the optical assays. Non-CF and CF airway epithelia were isolated from bronchial tissue, cultured as previously described (Galietta, L.J.V., Lanier , S.. Gazzolo, A., Sacco, O., Romano, L., Rossi, G.A., &
Zegarra-Moran, O. (1998) In Vitro Cell. Dev. Biol. 34, 478-481), and plated onto Costar SnapwellTm filters that were precoated with NIH3T3-conditioned media. After four days the apical .media was removed and the cells were gown at an air liquid interface for >14 days prior to use. This resulted in a monolayer of fully differentiated columnar cells that were ciliated, features that are characteristic of airway epithelia. Non-CF HBE were isolated from non-smokers that did not have any known lung disease. CF-HBE were isolated from patients homozygous for CF1 R.
HBE grown on Costar SnapwellTM cell culture inserts were mounted in an Ussing chamber (Physiologic Instruments, Inc., San Diego, CA), and the transepithelial resistance and short-circuit current in the presence of a basolateral to apical Cr gradient (Isc) were measured using a voltage-clamp system (Department of Bioengineering, University of Iowa, IA). Briefly, HBE were examined under voltage-clamp recording conditions (Vhoid = 0 mV) at 37 C. The basolateral solution contained (in mM) 145 NaC1, 0.83 K2HPO4, 3.3 KI-14304, 1.2 MgC12, 1.2 CaC12, 10 Glucose, 10 HEPES (pH adjusted to 7.35 with NaOH) and the apical solution contained (in mM) 145 NaGluconate, 1.2 MgC12, 1.2 CaCh, 10 glucose, 10 FIEPES
(pH adjusted to 7.35 with NaOH).
Identification of Correction Compounds Typical protocol utilized a basolateral to apical membrane Cr concentration gradient. To set up this gfadient, normal ringer was used on the basolateral membrane, whereas apical NaC1 was replaced by equimolar sodium gluconate (titrated to pH 7.4 with NaOH) to give a large CI
concentration gradient across the epithelium. All experiments were performed with intact monolayers. To fully activate AF508-CFTR, forskolin (10 uM), PDE inhibitor, TBMX (100 iniv1) and CFTR potentiator, genistein (50 1.1M) were added to the apical side.
As observed in other cell types, incubation at low temperatures of FRT cells and human bronchial epithelial cells isolated from diseased CF patients (CF-HBE)expressing AF508-CFIR
increases the functional density of CFTR in the plasma membrane. To determine the activity of correction compounds, the cells were incubated with test compound for 24-48 hours at 37 C and were subsequently washed 3X prior to recording. The cAMP- and genistein-mediated Isc in compound-treated cells was normalized to 37 C controls and expressed as percentage activity of CFTR activity in wt-HBE. Preincubation of the cells with the correction compound significantly increased the cAMP- and genistein-mediated Isc compared to the 37 C controls.
Identification of Potentiator Compounds Typical protocol utilized a basolateral to apical membrane cr concentration gradient. To set up this gradient, normal ringers was used on the basolateral membrane, whereas apical NaC1 was replaced by equimolar sodium gluconate (titrated to pH 7.4 with NaOH) to give a large CI
concentration gradient across the epithelium. Forskolin (10 tiM) and all test compounds were added to the apical side of the cell culture inserts. The efficacy of the putative AF508-CFTR
potentiators was compared to that of the known potentiator, genistein.
2. Patch-clamp Recordings Total current in AF508-NIH3T3 cells was monitored using the perforated-patch recording configuration as previously described (Rae, J., Cooper, K., Gates, P., Sz Watsky, M.
(1991) J. Neurosci. Methods 37, 15-26). Voltage-clamp recordings were performed at 22 C
using an Axopatch 200B patch-clamp amplifier (Axon Instruments Inc., Foster City, CA). The pipette solution contained (in mM) 150 N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG)-C1, 2 MgC12, 2 CaC12, EGTA, 10 HEPES, and 240 u.g/m1 amphotericin-B (pH adjusted to 7.35 with HC1).
The extracellular medium contained (in mM) 150 NMDG-C1, 2 MgC12, 2 CaC12, 10 HEPES
(pH
adjusted to 7.35 with HC1). Pulse generation, data acquisition, and analysis were performed using a PC equipped with a Digidata 1320 A/D interface in conjunction with Clampex 8 (Axon Instruments Inc.). To activate AF508-C1-I R, 10 p.M forskolin and 20 p/1 genistein were added to the bath and the current-voltage relation was monitored every 30 sec.
Identification of Correction Compounds To determine the activity of correction compounds for increasing the density of functional AF508-CFIR in the plasma membrane, we used the above-described perforated-patch-recording techniques to measure the current density following 24-hr treatment with the correction compounds. To fully activate AF508-CFTR, 101.1M forskolin and 20pM
genistein were added to the cells. Under our recording conditions, the current density following 24-hr incubation at 27 C was higher than that observed following 24-hr incubation at 37 C. These results are consistent with the known effects of low-temperature incubation on the density of AF508-CFTR in the plasma membrane. To determine the effects of correction compounds on CFI R current density, the cells were incubated with 10 ptM of the test compound for 24 hours at 37 C and the current density was compared to the 27 C and 37 C controls (%
activity). Prior to recording, the cells were washed 3X with extracellular recording medium to remove any remaining test compound. Preincubation with 10 pIVI of correction compounds significantly increased the cAMP- and genistein-dependent current compared to the 37 C
controls.
Identification of Potentiator Compounds The ability of AF508-CFTR potentiators to increase the macroscopic AF508-CFIR
current (L.F5o8) in NIH3T3 cells stably expressing AF508-CFTR was also investigated using perforated-patch-recording techniques. The potentiators identified from the optical assays evoked a dose-dependent increase in IAF508 with similar potency and efficacy observed in the optical assays. In all cells examined, the reversal potential before and during potentiator application was around -30 mV, which is the calculated En (-28 mV).
Cell Culture NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts stably expressing AF508-CFTR are used for whole-cell recordings. The cells are maintained at 37 C in 5% CO2 and 90 % humidity in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 10 % fetal bovine serum, 1 X
NEAA, p-ME, 1 X pen/strep, and 25 mM HEPES in 175 cm2 culture flasks. For whole-cell recordings, 2.500 - 5,000 cells were seeded on poly-L-lysine-coated glass coverslips and cultured for 24 - 48 hrs at 27 C before use to test the activity of potentiators; and incubated with or without the correction compound at 37 C for measuring the activity of correctors.
3.Single-channel recordings Gating activity of wt-CFIR and temperature-corrected AF508-CFTR expressed in NTH3T3 cells was observed using excised inside-out membrane patch recordings as previously described (Dalemans, W., Barbry, P., Champiany, G., Jallat, S., Don, K., Dreyer, D., Crystal, R.G., Pavirani, A., Lecoeq, J-P., Lazdunski, M. (1991) Nature 354, 526 ¨ 528) using an Axopatch 200B
patch-clamp amplifier (Axon Instruments Inc.). The pipette contained (in mM):
150 NMDG, 150 aspartic acid, 5 CaC12, 2 MgC12, and 10 HEPES (pH adjusted to 7.35 with Tris base). The bath contained (in mM): 150 NMDG-C1, 2 MgC12, 5 EGTA, 10 TES, and 14 Tris base (pH
adjusted to 7.35 with HCI). After excision, both wt- and AF508-CF1R were activated by adding 1 mM Mg-ATP, 75 nM of the catalytic subunit of CAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA;
Promega Corp. Madison, WI), and 10 mM NaF to inhibit protein phosphatases, which prevented current rundown. The pipette potential was maintained at 80 mV. Channel activity was analyzed from membrane patches containing 2 active channels. The maximum number of simultaneous openings determined the number of active channels during the course of an experiment. To determine the single-channel current amplitude, the data recorded from 120 sec of AF508-CFIR activity was filtered "off-line" at 100 Hz and then used to construct all-point amplitude histograms that were fitted with rnultigaussian functions using Bio-Patch Analysis software (Bio-Logic Comp. France). The total microscopic current and open probability (Po) were determined from 120 sec of channel activity. The Po was determined using the Bio-Patch software or from the relationship Po =1/i(N), where I = mean current, i =
single-channel current amplitude, and N = number of active channels in patch.
Cell Culture NIE3T3 mouse fibroblasts stably expressing AF508-CFTR are used for excised-membrane patch-clamp recordings. The cells are maintained at 37 C in 5% CO, and 90 %
humidity in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 2 mM
glutamine, 10 %
fetal bovine serum, 1 X NEAA, P-ME, 1 X pen/strep, and 25 mM HEPES in 175 cm2 culture flasks. For single channel recordings, 2,500 - 5,000 cells were seeded on poly-L-lysine-coated glass coverslips and cultured for 24 - 48 hrs at 27 C before use.

The assay utilizes fluorescent voltage sensing dyes to measure changes in membrane potential using a fluorescent plate reader (e.g., FLIPR 111, Molecular Devices, Inc.) as a readout for increase in functional AF508-CFTR in NTH 3T3 cells. The driving force for the response is the creation of a chloride ion gradient in conjunction with channel activation by a single liquid addition step after the cells have previously been treated with compounds and subsequently loaded with a voltage sensing dye.
Identification of Correction Compounds To identify small molecules that correct the trafficking defect associated with AF508-C1-"IR; a single-addition HTS assay format was developed. Assay Plates containing cells are incubated for ¨2-4 hours in tissue culture incubator at 37oC, 5%CO2, 90%
humidity. Cells are then ready for compound exposure after adhering to the bottom of the assay plates.
The cells were incubated in serum-free medium for 16-24 hrs in tissue culture incubator at 37oC, 5%CO2, 90% humidity in the presence or absence (negative control) of test compound. The cells were subsequently rinsed 3X with Krebs Ringers solution and loaded with a voltage sensing redistribution dye. To activate AF508-CFTR, 10 tM forskolin and the CFTR
potentiator, genistein (20 uM), were added along with C1--free medium to each well. The addition of Cr-free medium promoted Cl- efflux in response to AF508-CFIR activation and the resulting membrane depolarization was optically monitored using voltage sensor dyes.
Identification of Potentiator Compounds To identify potentiators of AF508-CFTR, a double-addition HTS assay format was developed. This HTS assay utilizes fluorescent voltage sensing dyes to measure changes in membrane potential on the FLIPR III as a measurement for increase in gating (conductance) of AF508 CFTR in temperature-corrected AF508 CFTR NIH 3T3 cells. The driving force for the response is a Cl- ion gradient in conjunction with channel activation with forskolin in a single liquid addition step using a fluoresecent plate reader such as FLIPR TR after the cells have previously been treated with potentiator compounds (or DMSO vehicle control) and subsequently loaded with a redistribution dye.

Electrophysiological Assays for assaying AF508-CFIR modulation properties of compounds.
1.Ussing Chamber Assay Ussing chamber experiments were performed on polarized airway epithelial cells expressing AF508-CFIR to further characterize the AF508-CFTR modulators identified in the optical assays. Non-CF and CF airway epithelia were isolated from bronchial tissue, cultured as previously described (Galietta, L.J.V., Lanier , S.. Gazzolo, A., Sacco, O., Romano, L., Rossi, G.A., &
Zegarra-Moran, O. (1998) In Vitro Cell. Dev. Biol. 34, 478-481), and plated onto Costar SnapwellTm filters that were precoated with NIH3T3-conditioned media. After four days the apical .media was removed and the cells were gown at an air liquid interface for >14 days prior to use. This resulted in a monolayer of fully differentiated columnar cells that were ciliated, features that are characteristic of airway epithelia. Non-CF HBE were isolated from non-smokers that did not have any known lung disease. CF-HBE were isolated from patients homozygous for CF1 R.
HBE grown on Costar SnapwellTM cell culture inserts were mounted in an Ussing chamber (Physiologic Instruments, Inc., San Diego, CA), and the transepithelial resistance and short-circuit current in the presence of a basolateral to apical Cr gradient (Isc) were measured using a voltage-clamp system (Department of Bioengineering, University of Iowa, IA). Briefly, HBE were examined under voltage-clamp recording conditions (Vhoid = 0 mV) at 37 C. The basolateral solution contained (in mM) 145 NaC1, 0.83 K2HPO4, 3.3 KI-14304, 1.2 MgC12, 1.2 CaC12, 10 Glucose, 10 HEPES (pH adjusted to 7.35 with NaOH) and the apical solution contained (in mM) 145 NaGluconate, 1.2 MgC12, 1.2 CaCh, 10 glucose, 10 FIEPES
(pH adjusted to 7.35 with NaOH).
Identification of Correction Compounds Typical protocol utilized a basolateral to apical membrane Cr concentration gradient. To set up this gfadient, normal ringer was used on the basolateral membrane, whereas apical NaC1 was replaced by equimolar sodium gluconate (titrated to pH 7.4 with NaOH) to give a large CI
concentration gradient across the epithelium. All experiments were performed with intact monolayers. To fully activate AF508-CFTR, forskolin (10 uM), PDE inhibitor, TBMX (100 iniv1) and CFTR potentiator, genistein (50 1.1M) were added to the apical side.
As observed in other cell types, incubation at low temperatures of FRT cells and human bronchial epithelial cells isolated from diseased CF patients (CF-HBE)expressing AF508-CFIR
increases the functional density of CFTR in the plasma membrane. To determine the activity of correction compounds, the cells were incubated with test compound for 24-48 hours at 37 C and were subsequently washed 3X prior to recording. The cAMP- and genistein-mediated Isc in compound-treated cells was normalized to 37 C controls and expressed as percentage activity of CFTR activity in wt-HBE. Preincubation of the cells with the correction compound significantly increased the cAMP- and genistein-mediated Isc compared to the 37 C controls.
Identification of Potentiator Compounds Typical protocol utilized a basolateral to apical membrane cr concentration gradient. To set up this gradient, normal ringers was used on the basolateral membrane, whereas apical NaC1 was replaced by equimolar sodium gluconate (titrated to pH 7.4 with NaOH) to give a large CI
concentration gradient across the epithelium. Forskolin (10 tiM) and all test compounds were added to the apical side of the cell culture inserts. The efficacy of the putative AF508-CFTR
potentiators was compared to that of the known potentiator, genistein.
2. Patch-clamp Recordings Total current in AF508-NIH3T3 cells was monitored using the perforated-patch recording configuration as previously described (Rae, J., Cooper, K., Gates, P., Sz Watsky, M.
(1991) J. Neurosci. Methods 37, 15-26). Voltage-clamp recordings were performed at 22 C
using an Axopatch 200B patch-clamp amplifier (Axon Instruments Inc., Foster City, CA). The pipette solution contained (in mM) 150 N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG)-C1, 2 MgC12, 2 CaC12, EGTA, 10 HEPES, and 240 u.g/m1 amphotericin-B (pH adjusted to 7.35 with HC1).
The extracellular medium contained (in mM) 150 NMDG-C1, 2 MgC12, 2 CaC12, 10 HEPES
(pH
adjusted to 7.35 with HC1). Pulse generation, data acquisition, and analysis were performed using a PC equipped with a Digidata 1320 A/D interface in conjunction with Clampex 8 (Axon Instruments Inc.). To activate AF508-C1-I R, 10 p.M forskolin and 20 p/1 genistein were added to the bath and the current-voltage relation was monitored every 30 sec.
Identification of Correction Compounds To determine the activity of correction compounds for increasing the density of functional AF508-CFIR in the plasma membrane, we used the above-described perforated-patch-recording techniques to measure the current density following 24-hr treatment with the correction compounds. To fully activate AF508-CFTR, 101.1M forskolin and 20pM
genistein were added to the cells. Under our recording conditions, the current density following 24-hr incubation at 27 C was higher than that observed following 24-hr incubation at 37 C. These results are consistent with the known effects of low-temperature incubation on the density of AF508-CFTR in the plasma membrane. To determine the effects of correction compounds on CFI R current density, the cells were incubated with 10 ptM of the test compound for 24 hours at 37 C and the current density was compared to the 27 C and 37 C controls (%
activity). Prior to recording, the cells were washed 3X with extracellular recording medium to remove any remaining test compound. Preincubation with 10 pIVI of correction compounds significantly increased the cAMP- and genistein-dependent current compared to the 37 C
controls.
Identification of Potentiator Compounds The ability of AF508-CFTR potentiators to increase the macroscopic AF508-CFIR
current (L.F5o8) in NIH3T3 cells stably expressing AF508-CFTR was also investigated using perforated-patch-recording techniques. The potentiators identified from the optical assays evoked a dose-dependent increase in IAF508 with similar potency and efficacy observed in the optical assays. In all cells examined, the reversal potential before and during potentiator application was around -30 mV, which is the calculated En (-28 mV).
Cell Culture NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts stably expressing AF508-CFTR are used for whole-cell recordings. The cells are maintained at 37 C in 5% CO2 and 90 % humidity in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 10 % fetal bovine serum, 1 X
NEAA, p-ME, 1 X pen/strep, and 25 mM HEPES in 175 cm2 culture flasks. For whole-cell recordings, 2.500 - 5,000 cells were seeded on poly-L-lysine-coated glass coverslips and cultured for 24 - 48 hrs at 27 C before use to test the activity of potentiators; and incubated with or without the correction compound at 37 C for measuring the activity of correctors.
3.Single-channel recordings Gating activity of wt-CFIR and temperature-corrected AF508-CFTR expressed in NTH3T3 cells was observed using excised inside-out membrane patch recordings as previously described (Dalemans, W., Barbry, P., Champiany, G., Jallat, S., Don, K., Dreyer, D., Crystal, R.G., Pavirani, A., Lecoeq, J-P., Lazdunski, M. (1991) Nature 354, 526 ¨ 528) using an Axopatch 200B
patch-clamp amplifier (Axon Instruments Inc.). The pipette contained (in mM):
150 NMDG, 150 aspartic acid, 5 CaC12, 2 MgC12, and 10 HEPES (pH adjusted to 7.35 with Tris base). The bath contained (in mM): 150 NMDG-C1, 2 MgC12, 5 EGTA, 10 TES, and 14 Tris base (pH
adjusted to 7.35 with HCI). After excision, both wt- and AF508-CF1R were activated by adding 1 mM Mg-ATP, 75 nM of the catalytic subunit of CAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA;
Promega Corp. Madison, WI), and 10 mM NaF to inhibit protein phosphatases, which prevented current rundown. The pipette potential was maintained at 80 mV. Channel activity was analyzed from membrane patches containing 2 active channels. The maximum number of simultaneous openings determined the number of active channels during the course of an experiment. To determine the single-channel current amplitude, the data recorded from 120 sec of AF508-CFIR activity was filtered "off-line" at 100 Hz and then used to construct all-point amplitude histograms that were fitted with rnultigaussian functions using Bio-Patch Analysis software (Bio-Logic Comp. France). The total microscopic current and open probability (Po) were determined from 120 sec of channel activity. The Po was determined using the Bio-Patch software or from the relationship Po =1/i(N), where I = mean current, i =
single-channel current amplitude, and N = number of active channels in patch.
Cell Culture NIE3T3 mouse fibroblasts stably expressing AF508-CFTR are used for excised-membrane patch-clamp recordings. The cells are maintained at 37 C in 5% CO, and 90 %
humidity in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 2 mM
glutamine, 10 %
fetal bovine serum, 1 X NEAA, P-ME, 1 X pen/strep, and 25 mM HEPES in 175 cm2 culture flasks. For single channel recordings, 2,500 - 5,000 cells were seeded on poly-L-lysine-coated glass coverslips and cultured for 24 - 48 hrs at 27 C before use.
