Definitions

  • TECHNICAL FIELD Novel dihydropyridine compounds and their derivatives can open potassium channels and are useful for treating a variety of medical conditions.
  • Potassium channels play an important role in regulating cell membrane excitability. " When the potassium channels open, changes in the electrical potential across the cell membrane occur and result in a more polarized state. A number of diseases or conditions can be treated with therapeutic agents that open potassium channels; see (K. Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., v. 70, pp. 39-63 (1996)); (D.R. Gehlert et al., Prog. Neuro-Psychopharmacol & Biol. Psychiat, v. 18, pp. 1093-1102 (1994)); (M. Gopalakrishnan et al., Drug Development Research, v. 28, pp. 95-127 (1993)); (J.E.
  • Such diseases or conditions include asthma, epilepsy, hypertension, male sexual dysfunction, female sexual dysfunction, migraine, pain, urinary incontinence, stroke, Raynaud's Syndrome, eating disorders, functional bowel disorders, and neurodegeneration.
  • Potassium channel openers also act as smooth muscle relaxants. Because urinary incontinence can result from the spontaneous, uncontrolled contractions of the smooth muscle of the bladder, the ability of potassium channel openers to hyperpolarize bladder cells and relax bladder smooth muscle provides a method to ameliorate or prevent urinary incontinence.
  • EP 0539153 Al and EP 0539154 Al disclose a group of acridinedione and quinolone compounds that belong to the larger general chemical class of dihydropyridines.
  • Dihydropyridines of differing chemical structure may possess a variety of biological activities.
  • DE 3605742 Al and US 4,284,634 disclose compounds that are calcium channel antagonists.
  • US 5,025,011 discloses pyridine compounds as possessing both calcium channel and ⁇ -receptor blocking activity while EP 299727 discloses compounds that act as platelet activating factor (PAF) antagonists.
  • PAF platelet activating factor
  • Compounds of the present invention are novel, hyperpolarize cell membranes, open potassium channels, relax smooth muscle cells, inhibit bladder contractions and are useful for treating diseases that can be ameliorated by opening potassium channels.

Description

DIHYDROPYRIDINE COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF USE
TECHNICAL FIELD Novel dihydropyridine compounds and their derivatives can open potassium channels and are useful for treating a variety of medical conditions.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Potassium channels play an important role in regulating cell membrane excitability. "When the potassium channels open, changes in the electrical potential across the cell membrane occur and result in a more polarized state. A number of diseases or conditions can be treated with therapeutic agents that open potassium channels; see (K. Lawson, Pharmacol. Ther., v. 70, pp. 39-63 (1996)); (D.R. Gehlert et al., Prog. Neuro-Psychopharmacol & Biol. Psychiat, v. 18, pp. 1093-1102 (1994)); (M. Gopalakrishnan et al., Drug Development Research, v. 28, pp. 95-127 (1993)); (J.E. Freedman et al., The Neuroscientist, v. 2, pp. 145- 152 (1996)); (D. E. Nurse et al, Br. J. UroL, v. 68 pp. 27-31 (1991)); (B. B. Howe et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., v. 274 pp. 884-890 (1995)); and (D. Spanswick et al, Nature, v. 390 • pp. 521-25 (December 4, 1997)). Such diseases or conditions include asthma, epilepsy, hypertension, male sexual dysfunction, female sexual dysfunction, migraine, pain, urinary incontinence, stroke, Raynaud's Syndrome, eating disorders, functional bowel disorders, and neurodegeneration.
Potassium channel openers also act as smooth muscle relaxants. Because urinary incontinence can result from the spontaneous, uncontrolled contractions of the smooth muscle of the bladder, the ability of potassium channel openers to hyperpolarize bladder cells and relax bladder smooth muscle provides a method to ameliorate or prevent urinary incontinence.
WO 9408966, EP 0539153 Al and EP 0539154 Al disclose a group of acridinedione and quinolone compounds that belong to the larger general chemical class of dihydropyridines.
Dihydropyridines of differing chemical structure may possess a variety of biological activities. DE 3605742 Al and US 4,284,634 disclose compounds that are calcium channel antagonists. US 5,025,011 discloses pyridine compounds as possessing both calcium channel and β-receptor blocking activity while EP 299727 discloses compounds that act as platelet activating factor (PAF) antagonists.
Compounds of the present invention are novel, hyperpolarize cell membranes, open potassium channels, relax smooth muscle cells, inhibit bladder contractions and are useful for treating diseases that can be ameliorated by opening potassium channels.

Preparation of Compounds of The Invention The compounds and processes of the present invention will be better understood in connection with the following synthetic schemes and methods which illustrate a means bywhich the compounds of the invention can be prepared.
The compounds of this invention can be prepared by a variety of synthetic routes. Representative procedures are shown in Schemes 1-41. Scheme 1
Dihydropyridines of general formula (4), wherein R2=R2> and Ri and R are as defined in formula I, can be prepared as described in Scheme 1. Diester (1), prepared by the Hantzsch reaction (Singer, A. And McElvain, S.M., Org. Synth., Coll. Vol. II (1943) 214), can be treated with with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) to provide dibrominated dihydropyridine (2). Dibrominated dihydropyridine (2) can be treated with a primary amine (R NH ) or ammonia in a protic solvent such as ethyl or methyl alcohol to provide dihydropyridines of general formula (4).
Dihydropyridines of general formula (5), wherein Ri is as defined in formula I, can be prepared by heating dibromide (2) neat at 180 °C.

Determination of Potassium Channel Opening Activity Membrane Hyperpolarization Assays
Compounds were evaluated for potassium channel opening activity using primary cultured guinea-pig urinary bladder (GPB) cells.
For the preparation of urinary bladder smooth muscle cells, urinary bladders were removed from male guinea-pigs (Hartley, Charles River, Wilmington, MA) weighing 300- 400 grams (g) and placed in ice-cold Ca2+-free Krebs solution (Composition, millimolar (mM): KC1, 2.7; KH2PO4, 1.5; NaCl, 75; Na2HPO4, 9.6; Na2HPO4.7H2O, 8; MgSO4, 2; glucose, 5; HEPES, 10; pH 7.4). Cells were isolated by enzymatic dissociation (Klockner, U. and Isenberg, G., Pflugers Arch. (1985), 405, 329-339). The bladder was cut into small sections and incubated in 5 milliliters (mL) of the Kreb's solution containing 1 milligram per milliliter (mg/mL) of collagenase (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and 0.2 mg/mL of pronase (Calbiochem, La Jolla, CA) with continuous stirring in a cell incubator for 30 minutes. The mixture was then centrifuged at 1300 x g for 5 minutes, and the pellet resuspended in Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (GIBCO, Gaithersburg, MD) and recentrifuged to remove residual enzyme. The cell pellet was resuspended in 5 mL growth media (composition: Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10%) fetal bovine serum, 100 units/mL penicillin, 100 units/mL streptomycin and 0.25 mg/mL amphotericin B) and further dissociated by pipetting the suspension through a flame-polished Pasteur pipette and passing it through a polypropylene mesh membrane (Spectrum, Houston, TX). The cell density was adjusted to 100,000 cells/mL by resuspension in growth media. Cells were plated in clear-bottomed black 96-well plates (Packard) for membrane potential studies at a density of 20,000 cells/well and maintained in a cell incubator with 90% air: 10% CO2 until confluent. Cells were confirmed to be of smooth muscle type by cytoskeletal staining using a monoclonal mouse anti human-α-smooth muscle actin (Biomeda, Foster City, CA).
Functional activity at potassium channels was measured by evaluating changes in membrane potential using the bis-oxonol dye DiBAC(4)3 (Molecular Probes) in a 96-well cell-based kinetic assay system using a Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR) (K.S. Schroeder et al., J. Biomed. Screen., v. 1 pp. 75-81 (1996)). DiBAC(4)3 is an anionic potentiometric probe which partitions between cells and extracellular solution in a membrane potential-dependent manner. With increasing membrane potential (for example, K+ depolarization), the probe further partitions into the cell; this is measured as an increase in fluorescence due to dye interaction with intracellular lipids and proteins. Conversely, decreasing membrane potential (hypeφolarization by potassium channel openers) evokes a decrease in fluorescence. Confluent guinea-pig urinary bladder cells cultured in black clear-bottomed 96-well plates were rinsed twice with 200 mL assay buffer (composition, mM: HEPES, 20; NaCl, 120; KC1, 2; CaCl2, 2; MgCl2, 1; glucose, 5; pH 7.4 at 25 °C) containing 5 μM DiBAC(4)3 and incubated with 180 mL of the buffer in a cell incubator for 30 minutes at 37 °C to ensure dye distribution across the membrane. After recording the baseline fluorescence for 5 minutes, the reference or test compounds, prepared at 10 times the concentration in the assay buffer, were added directly to the wells. Changes in fluorescence were monitored for an additional 25 minutes. Hypeφolarization responses were corrected for any background noise and were normalized to the response observed with 10 μM of the reference compound PI 075 (assigned as 100%>), a potent opener of smooth muscle KAτp channels (Quast et al., Mol. Pharmacol., v. 43 pp. 474-481 (1993)).
Routinely, five concentrations of PI 075 or test compounds (log or half-log dilutions) ■ were evaluated and the maximal steady-state hypeφolarization values (expressed as %> relative to PI 075) plotted as a function of concentration. The EC50 (concentration that elicites 50%> of the maximal response for the test sample) values were calculated by non- linear regression analysis using a four parameter sigmoidal equation. The maximal micromolar EC5o response of each compound (expressed as %> relative to PI 075) is reported. Stock solutions of compounds were prepared in 100% DMSO and further dilutions were carried out in the assay buffer and added to a 96-well plate.
Table 1 Membrane Hypeφolarization (MHP) in Guinea-Pig Bladder (GPB) Cells
In vitro Functional models Compounds were evaluated for functional potassium channel opening activity using tissue strips obtained from Landrace pig bladders.
Landrace pig bladders were obtained from female Landrace pigs of 9-30 kg. Landrace pigs were euthanized with an intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital solution, Somlethal® , J.A. Webster Inc., Sterling MA. The entire bladder was removed and immediately placed into Krebs Ringer bicarbonate solution (composition, mM: NaCl, 120; NaHCO3, 20; dextrose, 11; KC1, 4.7; CaCl2, 2.5; MgSO4, 1.5; KH2PO4, 1.2; K2EDTA, 0.01, equilibrated with 5% CO2/95% O2 pH 7.4 at 37 °C). Propranolol (0.004 mM) was included in all of the assays to block β-adrenoceptors. The trigonal and dome portions were discarded. Strips 3-5 millimeters (mm) wide and 20 mm long were prepared from the remaining tissue cut in a circular fashion. The mucosal layer was removed. One end was fixed to a stationary glass rod and the other to a Grass FT03 transducer at a basal preload of 1.0 g. Two parallel platinum electrodes were included in the stationary glass rod to provide field stimulation of 0.05 Hz, 0.5 milli-seconds at 20 volts. This low frequency stimulation produced a stable twitch response of 1.00-500. centigrams. Tissues were allowed to equilibrate for at least 60 minutes and primed with 80 mM KC1. A control concentration response curve (cumulative) was generated for each tissue using the potassium channel opener PI 075 as the control agonist. PI 075 completely eliminated the stimulated twitch in a dose dependent fashion over a concentration range of 10"9 to 10"5 M using 1/2 log increments. After a 60 minute rinsing period, a concentration response curve (cumulative) was generated for the test agonist in the same fashion as that used for the control agonist PI 075. The maximal efficacy of each compounds (expressed as % relative to PI 075) is reported. The amount of agent necessary to cause 50% of the agent's maximal response (ED5o) was calculated using "ALLFIT" (DeLean et al., Am. J. Physiol., 235, E97 (1980)), and agonist potencies were expressed as po2 (the negative logarithm). Agonist potencies were also expressed as an index relative to PI 075. The index was calculated by dividing the ED5o for PI 075 by the ED5o for the test agonist in a given tissue. Each tissue was used for only one test agonist, and the indices obtained from each tissue were averaged to provide an average index of potency. These data are shown in Table 2. Table 2 Functional Potassium Channel Opening Activity in Isolated Bladder Strips
As shown by the data in Tables 1 and 2, the compounds of this invention reduce stimulated contractions of the bladder by opening potassium channels and therefore may have utility in the treatment of diseases prevented by or ameliorated with potassium channel openers.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier," as used herein, means a non-toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; glycols; such a propylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgment of the formulator.
The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions which comprise compounds of the present invention formulated together with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated for oral administration in solid or liquid form, for parenteral injection or for rectal administration.
Further included within the scope of the present invention are pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of the compounds of formula I-NI prepared and formulated in combination with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated for oral administration in solid or liquid form, for parenteral injection or for rectal administration.
The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other mammals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments or drops), bucally or as an oral or nasal spray. The term "parenterally," as used herein, refers to modes of administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous, intraarticular injection and infusion.
Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions and sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil) and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity may be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.
These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservative agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, sodium chloride and the like. Prolonged absoφtion of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the use of agents delaying absoφtion, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absoφtion of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amoφhous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absoφtion of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absoφtion of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle. Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents, as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.
If desired, and for more effective distribution, the compounds of the present invention can be incoφorated into slow-release or targeted-delivery systems such as polymer matrices, hposomes, and microspheres. They may be. sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter or by incoφoration of sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions, which may be dissolved in sterile water or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use. The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, 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 formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound can 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.
