Definitions

• the present invention relates to furanopyrimidine compounds which are potassium channel inhibitors.
• Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and their use in the treatment of arrythmia are also provided.
• Ion channels are proteins that span the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane and provide an aqueous pathway through which specific ions such as Na + , K + , Ca + and CI " can pass (Herbert, 1998). Potassium channels represent the largest and most diverse sub-group of ion channels and they play a central role in regulating the membrane potential and controlling cellular excitability (Armstrong & Hille, 1998). Potassium channels have been categorized into gene families based on their amino acid sequence and their biophysical properties (for nomenclature see Gutman et al, 2003).
• potassium channels which modulate potassium channels have multiple therapeutic applications in several disease areas including cardiovascular, neuronal, auditory, renal, metabolic and cell proliferation (Shieh et al., 2000; Ford et al., 2002). More specifically potassium channels such as Kv4.3, Kir2.1, hERG, KVLQTl/minK, and Kvl.5 are involved in the repolarisation phase of the action potential in cardiac atrial myocytes. These potassium channel subtypes have been associated with cardiovascular diseases and disorders including long QT syndrome, hypertrophy, ventricular fibrillation, and atrial fibrillation, all of which can cause cardiac failure and fatality (Marban, 2002).
• cardiovascular diseases and disorders including long QT syndrome, hypertrophy, ventricular fibrillation, and atrial fibrillation, all of which can cause cardiac failure and fatality (Marban, 2002).
• Kvl.5 The human delayed rectifier voltage gated potassium channel subunit, Kvl.5, is exclusively expressed in atrial myocytes and is believed to offer therapeutic opportunities for the management of atrial fibrillation for several different reasons (see review of Brendel and Peukert, 2002): (i) There is evidence that Kvl.5 underlies the cardiac ultrarapid delayed rectifier (Kv (ur) ) physiological current in humans due to similar biophysical and pharmacological properties (Wang et al, 1993; and Fedida et al., 1993). This has been supported with antisense oligonucleotides to Kvl.5 which have been shown to reduce Kv (ur) amplitude in human atrial myocytes (Feng et al, 1997).
• the novel benzopyran derivative, NIP- 142 blocks Kvl.5 channels, prolongs the atrial refractory period and terminates atrial fibrillation and flutter in in vivo canine models (Matsuda et al, 2001), and S9947 inhibited Kvl.5 stably expressed in both Xenopus oocytes and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and Kv (ur) in native rat and human cardiac myocytes (Bachmann et al, 2001).
• Furanopyrimidines have been reported to be useful as folate inhibitors, anti-histamines, muscle relaxants and agrochemicals. Furanopyrimidines have not previously been reported as useful agents for modulating ion channels.
• Furanopyrimidines substituted in the 5 -position with an alkyl group have been identified as pesticides and fungicides.
• EP459611 discloses a family of 4-phenylethyl derivatives
• EP196524 discloses a series of 4-phenoxypropyl derivatives.
• Furanopyrimidines substituted with an alkyl group at the 5-position have also been disclosed as having muscle-relaxant activity (JP48081893 and DEI 817146).
• This invention provides compounds that are potassium channel inhibitors. Specifically, furanopyrimidines with an aromatic or heteroaromatic substituent at the 5-position are disclosed. These compounds are particularly useful for inhibiting potassium channels Kvl.5 or Kv (ur) , which are known targets for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia in the atria such as atrial fibrillation (Nattel et al, 1999; Wang et al, 1993).
• This invention is not limited to treating cardiac arrythmias, the compounds also being useful to treat other diseases which require potassium channel inhibition (e.g. Shieh et al, 2000; Ford et al, 2002).

• Patch pipettes were filled with an electrode solution of composition (in mM): 160 KC1, 0.5 MgCl 2 , 10 HEPES, 1 EGTA, pH 7.4 with KOH.
• Compounds were dissolved in DMSO (100 %) and made up in the external bather at a concentration of l ⁇ M. All experiments were conducted at room temperature (22-24°C).
• the lOO ⁇ l cell resuspension solution was then stored on the bench at 4°C (using a Peltier-based temperature control device) until used.
• a length of capillary glass (1B150F-4, WPI) was dipped into the cell suspension solution, such that ⁇ 3 cm column of fluid was taken up by capillary action.
• An Ag/AgCl wire was dropped into the non-dipped end of the capillary also.
• the outside of the solution-filled end of the capillary was then dried and the capillary was loaded into the AutoPatchTM.
• Borosilicate glass patch pipettes (from 1.5mm OD, thin-walled filamented, GC150-TF capillary glass, Harvard) were pulled using a DMZ pipette puller (Zeitz Instruments), and were back-filled using the internal pipette solution, being careful that no bubbles remain at the tip or in the body of the pipette. Patch pipettes typically had resistances of 2.3-3.5 M ⁇ . Once filled, the pipette tip and a proportion of the shaft ( ⁇ 15 mm) were dipped into Sigmacote (Sigma). The recording pipette was then loaded into the AutoPatchTM. Automated patch-clamping was initiated by the operator, but thereafter AutoPatch.exe continued the experiment providing that pre-set conditions and criteria were satisfied.
