Definitions

  • the invention relates to compounds useful in treating conditions associated with abnormal calcium channel function. More specifically, the invention concerns compounds containing substituted or unsubstituted derivatives of 6-membered heterocyclic moieties that are useful in treatment of conditions such as stroke and pain.
  • the L, N, P and Q-type channels activate at more positive potentials (high voltage activated) and display diverse kinetics and voltage-dependent properties. There is some overlap in biophysical properties ofthe high voltage-activated channels, consequently phannacological profiles are useful to further distinguish them. Whether the Q- and P-type channels are distinct molecular entities is controversial. Several types of calcium conductances do not fall neatly into any ofthe above categories and there is variability of properties even within a category suggesting that additional calcium channels subtypes remain to be classified.
  • neuronal high voltage activated calcium channels are heterooligomeric complexes consisting of at least three distinct subunits ( ⁇ i, ⁇ ⁇ and ⁇ ).
  • the ⁇ i subunit is the major pore-forming subunit and contains the voltage sensor and binding sites for calcium channel antagonists.
  • the mainly extracellular ⁇ x 2 is disulfide-linked to the transmembrane ⁇ subunit and both are derived from the same gene and are proteolytically cleaved in vivo.
  • the ⁇ subunit is a nonglycosylated, hydrophilic protein with a high affinity of binding to a cytoplasmic region ofthe ⁇ i subunit.
  • a fourth subunit, ⁇ is unique to L-type calcium channels expressed in skeletal muscle T-rubules.
  • XI A channels are ofthe P/Q type; ⁇ iB represents N; ⁇ ic, tx'io, CU IF and ⁇ is represent L; OC IE represents a novel type of calcium conductance, and (Xio- ⁇ n represent members ofthe T-type family.
  • N-type channels which are mainly localized to neurons, have been disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 5,623,051, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • N-type channels possess a site for binding syntaxin, a protein anchored in the presynaptic membrane. Blocking this interaction also blocks the presynaptic response to calcium influx.
  • syntaxin a protein anchored in the presynaptic membrane. Blocking this interaction also blocks the presynaptic response to calcium influx.
  • compounds that block the interaction between syntaxin and this binding site would be useful in neural protection and analgesia.
  • Such compounds have the added advantage of enhanced specificity for presynaptic calcium channel effects.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,646,149 describes calcium channel antagonists ofthe formula A-Y-B wherein B contains a piperazine or piperidine ring directly linked to Y.
  • A which must be an antioxidant; the piperazine or piperidine itself is said to be important.
  • the exemplified compounds contain a benzhydril substituent, based on known calcium channel blockers (see below).
  • the antioxidant can be a phenyl group containing methoxy and/or hydroxyl substituents.
  • the antioxidant In the few compounds where there is an alkylene chain between the CH to which the two phenyl groups are bound and the heterocycle, the antioxidant must be coupled to the heterocycle through an unsubstituted alkylene and in most of these cases the antioxidant is a bicyclic system. Where the antioxidant can simply be a phenyl moiety coupled through an alkynylene, the linker from the heterocycle to the phenyl moieties contains no more than six atoms in the chain.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,703,071 discloses compounds said to be useful in treating ischemic diseases. A mandatory portion of the molecule is a tropolone residue; among the substituents permitted are piperazine derivatives, including their benzhydril derivatives.
  • 5,428,038 discloses compounds which are said to exert a neural protective and antiallergic effect. These compounds are coumarin derivatives which may include derivatives of piperazine and other six-membered heterocycles. A permitted substituent on the heterocycle is diphenylhydroxymethyl.
  • Certain compounds containing both benzhydril moieties and piperidine or piperazine are known to be calcium channel antagonists and neuroleptic drugs.
  • Gould, R.J., et al, Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA (1983) 80:5122-5125 describes antischizophrenic neuroleptic drugs such as lidoflazine, fluspirilene, pimozide, clopimozide, and penfluridol. It has also been shown that fluspirilene binds to sites on L-type calcium channels (King, V.K., et al, J. Biol. Chem.
  • Lomerizine as developed by Kanebo, K.K., is a known calcium channel blocker; Lomerizine is, however, not specific for N-type channels. A review of publications concerning Lomerizine is found in Dooley, D., Current Opinion in CPNS Investigational Drugs (1999) 1:116-125.
  • the present invention is based on the recognition that the combination of a six- membered heterocyclic ring containing at least one nitrogen said nitrogen coupled through a linker to a benzhydril moiety results in effective calcium channel blocking activity. In some cases enhanced specificity for N-type channels and/or T-type channels, or decreased specificity for L-type channels is shown.
  • the compounds are useful for treating stroke and pain and other calcium channel-associated disorders, as further described below. By focusing on these moieties, compounds useful in treating indications associated with calcium channel activity are prepared.
  • the invention relates to compounds useful in treating conditions such as stroke, anxiety, overactive bladder, inflammatory bowel disease, head trauma, migraine, chronic, neuropathic and acute pain, epilepsy, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and other indications associated with calcium metabolism, including synaptic calcium channel- mediated functions.
  • the compounds ofthe invention are benzhydril derivatives of piperazine with substituents that enhance the calcium channel blocking activity ofthe compounds.

  • the members ofthe genus of compounds of formula (1) exhibit high affinity for N-type channels and/or T-type channels. Thus, as described below, they are screened for their ability to interact with N-type and/or T-type channels as an initial indication of desirable function.

  • the IC 50 is the concentration which inhibits 50% ofthe calcium, barium or other permeant divalent cation flux at a particular applied potential.
  • open channel blockage is conveniently demonstrated when displayed calcium channels are maintained at an artificially negative resting potential of about -100 mV (as distinguished from the typical endogenous resting maintained potential. of about -70 mV).
  • open channel blocking inhibitors diminish the current exhibited at the peak flow and can also accelerate the rate of current decay.
  • activation inhibition This type of inhibition is distinguished from a second type of block, referred to herein as "inactivation inhibition.”
  • inactivation inhibition When maintained at less negative resting potentials, such as the physiologically important potential of -70 mV, a certain percentage ofthe channels may undergo conformational change, rendering them incapable of being activated ⁇ i.e., opened ⁇ by the abrupt depolarization. Thus, the peak current due to calcium ion flow will be diminished not because the open channel is blocked, but because some ofthe channels are unavailable for opening (inactivated).
  • “Inactivation” type inhibitors increase the percentage of receptors that are in an inactivated state.
  • Resting channel block is the inhibition ofthe channel that occurs in the absence of membrane depolarization, that would normally lead to opening or inactivation. For example, resting channel blockers would diminish the peak current amplitude during the very first depolarization after drug application without additional inhibition during the depolarization.
  • the compounds ofthe invention modulate the activity of calcium channels; in general, said modulation is the inhibition ofthe ability ofthe channel to transport calcium.

  • Aromatic moiety or "aryl” moiety refers to a monocyclic or fused bicyclic moiety such as phenyl or naphthyl; “heteroaromatic” also refers to monocyclic or fused bicyclic ring systems containing one or more heteroatoms selected from O, S and N. The inclusion of a heteroatom permits inclusion of 5-membered rings as well as 6-membered rings.
