Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compounds that are effective as Kv1.5 potassium channel inhibitors.
  • the present invention also relates to compositions comprising certain Kv1.5 potassium channel inhibitors, and to methods for treating cardiac arrhythmia.
  • Atrial fibrillation is a frequently encountered cardiac arrhythmia in the clinical setting. It affects nearly 3 million people in the United States and its prevalence increases with the aging of the population. AF is most often treated with class III antiarrhythmic agents, acting at both the atrial and ventricular levels. Commonly used or prescribed antiarrhythmic drugs inhibit various potassium channels, and prolong ventricular repolarization. Prolongation of ventricular repolarization can in turn precipitate the occurrence of life-threatening-ventricular arrhythmias, mainly Torsades de Pointes (TdP).
  • TdP Torsades de Pointes
  • Certain atrial-selective antiarrhythmic agents offer one possibility of increased therapeutic efficacy and safety by minimizing cardiac proarrhythmia inherent in conventional antiarrhythmic therapies.
  • Kv1.5 potassium channel include: Brendel, J., et al., Curr. Med. Chem. 2003, 1 , 273- 287; Firth, A. L., et al., 2008, 33, 31-47; Vidaillet, H., et al., Am. J. Med. 2002, 1 13,
  • the present invention provides compounds of Formula (I):
  • Ar 1 , Ar 2 , R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 , m, n, and p are defined as described herein.
  • compositions comprising an effective amount of one or more compounds of Formula (I) and one or more excipients.
  • the present invention also provides a method for treating or preventing cardiac arrhythmias, for example atrial arrhythmia, including but not limited to, atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, the method comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) according to the present invention.
  • the present invention also provides a method for treating or preventing cardiac arrhythmias, for example atrial arrhythmia, including but not limited to, atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, wherein the method comprises administering to a subject a composition comprising an effective amount of one or more compounds of Formula (I) according to the present invention and one or more excipients.
  • the present invention also provides methods for treating or preventing diseases or conditions associated with cardiac arrhythmias, including but not limited to, thromboembolism, stroke, and heart failure.
  • the methods comprise administering to a subject an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) according to the present invention.
  • the present invention further provides methods for treating or preventing diseases or conditions associated with cardiac arrhythmias, including but not limited to, thromboembolism, stroke, and heart failure, wherein said method comprises administering to a subject a composition comprising an effective amount of one or more compounds of Formula (I) according to the present invention and one or more excipients.
  • the present invention also provides a method for inducing cardioversion, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) to the subject.
  • the present invention also provides a method for inhibiting Kv1.5 potassium channel in a subject comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) to the subject.
  • the present invention also provides a method for treating or preventing a disorder associated with inhibition of Kv1.5 potassium channel in a subject comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) to the subject.
  • these compounds are useful in treating atrial arrhythmia, thromboembolism, stroke or cardiac failure.
  • Kv1.5 potassium channel inhibitors of the present invention are capable of treating and preventing arrhythmia in the atrial portion of the human heart or in the heart of certain animals. It has been discovered that functional Kv1.5 potassium channels are found in human atrial tissue but not in human ventricular myocytes. Without wishing to be limited by theory, it is believed the inhibition of the Kv1.5 voltage-gated Shaker-like potassium (K + ) ion channel can ameliorate, abate, or otherwise cause to be controlled, atrial fibrillation and flutter without prolonging ventricular repolarization.

Description

4-IMIDAZOLIDINONES AS KV1.5 POTASSIUM CHANNEL INHIBITORS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to compounds that are effective as Kv1.5 potassium channel inhibitors. The present invention also relates to compositions comprising certain Kv1.5 potassium channel inhibitors, and to methods for treating cardiac arrhythmia.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequently encountered cardiac arrhythmia in the clinical setting. It affects nearly 3 million people in the United States and its prevalence increases with the aging of the population. AF is most often treated with class III antiarrhythmic agents, acting at both the atrial and ventricular levels. Commonly used or prescribed antiarrhythmic drugs inhibit various potassium channels, and prolong ventricular repolarization. Prolongation of ventricular repolarization can in turn precipitate the occurrence of life-threatening-ventricular arrhythmias, mainly Torsades de Pointes (TdP).
Certain atrial-selective antiarrhythmic agents offer one possibility of increased therapeutic efficacy and safety by minimizing cardiac proarrhythmia inherent in conventional antiarrhythmic therapies.
There is an unmetneed to provide certain new compounds that function as effective atrial-selective antiarrhythmic agents and which do not affect ventricular rhythm. In addition, there is an unmet need to provide certain new compounds that function as effective atrial-selective antiarrhythmic agents and that are compatible with other cardiac devices, cardiac protocols, therapies, and medications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Kv1.5 potassium channel inhibitors of the present invention are capable of treating and preventing arrhythmia in the atrial portion of the human heart or in the heart of certain animals. It has been discovered that functional Kv1.5 potassium channels are found in human atrial tissue but not in human ventricular myocytes. Without wishing to be limited by theory, it is believed the inhibition of the Kv1.5 voltage-gated Shaker-like potassium (K+) ion channel can ameliorate, abate, or otherwise cause to be controlled, atrial fibrillation and flutter without prolonging ventricular repolarization.

Examples of C1-C5 heteroaryl include, but are not limited to for example, triazinyl, thiazol-2-yl, thiazol-4-yl, imidazol-1-yl, 1 /-/-imidazol-2-yl, 1 H- imidazol-4-yl, isoxazolin-5-yl, furan-2-yl, furan-3-yl, thiophen-2-yl, thiophen-4-yl, pyrimidin-2-yl, pyrimidin-4-yl, pyrimidin-5-yl, pyridin-2-yl, pyridin-3-yl, and pyridin-4-yl.
For the purposes of the present invention, fused ring groups, spirocyclic rings, bicyclic rings and the like, which comprise a single heteroatom will be considered to belong to the cyclic family corresponding to the heteroatom containing ring. For example, 1 ,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline having the formula:
is, for the purposes of the present invention, considered a heterocyclyl group. 6,7- Dihydro-5/-/-cyclopentapyrimidine having the formula:
is, for the purposes of the present invention, considered a heteroaryl group. When a fused ring unit contains heteroatoms in both a saturated and an aryl ring, the aryl ring will predominate and determine the type of category to which the ring is assigned. For example, 1 ,2,3,4-tetrahydro-[1 ,8]naphthyridine having the formula:
is, for the purposes of the present invention, considered a heteroaryl group.
The terms "treat" and "treating," as used herein, refer to partially or completely alleviating, inhibiting, ameliorating and/or relieving a condition from which a patient is suspected to suffer. As used herein, "therapeutically effective" refers to a substance or an amount that elicits a desirable biological activity or effect.
Except when noted, the terms "subject" or "patient" are used interchangeably and refer to mammals such as human patients and non-human primates, as well as experimental animals such as rabbits, rats, and mice, and other animals. Accordingly, the term "subject" or "patient" as used herein means any mammalian patient or subject to which the compounds of the invention can be administered. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, to identify subject patients for treatment according to the methods of the invention, accepted screening methods are employed to determine risk factors associated with a targeted or suspected disease or condition or to determine the status of an existing disease or condition in a subject. These screening methods include, but are not limited to for example, conventional work-ups to determine risk factors that may be associated with the targeted or suspected disease or condition. These and other routine methods allow the clinician to select patients in need of therapy using the methods and compounds of the present invention.
The term "substituted" is used throughout the specification. The term "substituted" is defined herein as a moiety, whether acyclic or cyclic, which has one or more (e.g. 1- 10) hydrogen atoms replaced by a substituent as defined herein below. Substituents include those that are capable of replacing one or two hydrogen atoms of a single moiety at a time, and also those that can replace two hydrogen atoms on two adjacent carbons to form said substituent. For example, substituents that replace single hydrogen atoms includes, for example, halogen, hydroxyl, and the like. A two hydrogen atom replacement includes carbonyl, oximino, and the like. Substituents that replace two hydrogen atoms from adjacent carbon atoms include, for example, epoxy, and the like. When a moiety is described as "substituted" any number of its hydrogen atoms can be replaced, as described above. For example, difluoromethyl is a substituted C1 alkyl; trifluoromethyl is a substituted C1 alkyl; 4-hydroxyphenyl is a substituted aryl ring; (N,N-dimethyl-5-amino)octanyl is a substituted C8 alkyl; 3- guanidinopropyl is a substituted C3 alkyl; and 2-carboxypyridinyl is a substituted heteroaryl. At various places in the present specification, substituents of compounds are disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that the description include each and every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the term "Ci-6 alkyl" is specifically intended to individually disclose Ci , C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, Ci-C6, C1-C5, C1-C4, C1-C3, C1-C2, C2-C6, C2-C5, C2-C4, C2-C3, C3-C6, C3-C5, C3-C4, C4-C6, C4-C5, and C5-C6 alkyl.

The reactions or the processes described herein can be carried out in suitable solvents, which can be readily selected by one skilled in the art. Suitable solvents typically are substantially nonreactive with the reactants, intermediates, and/or products at the temperatures at which the reactions are carried out, i.e., temperatures that can range from the solvent's freezing temperature to the solvent's boiling temperature. A given reaction can be carried out in one solvent or a mixture of more than one solvent. Depending on the particular reaction step, suitable solvents for a particular reaction step can be selected.
The compounds of these teachings can be prepared by methods known in the art. The reagents used in the preparation of the compounds of these teachings can be either commercially obtained or can be prepared by standard procedures described in the literature. For example, compounds of the present invention can be prepared according to the method illustrated in the General Synthetic Schemes:
GENERAL SYNTHETIC SCHEME(S) FOR PREPARATION OF COMPOUNDS.
The reagents used in the preparation of the compounds of this invention can be either commercially obtained or can be prepared by standard procedures described in the literature. In accordance with this invention, compounds in the genus may be produced by one of the following reaction schemes.
Functionalized amino acid amides (e.g. 1) may be prepared using standard literature procedures. Ring closure to form the 4-imiddazolidinone 3 can be accomplished by heating 1 in the presence of a suitable aldehyde (2) in an appropriate solvent or as a neat mixture of the two. Conventional or microwave heating may be employed.
Alternately, amino acid amide 4 may be cyclized to imidazolidinone 5 by by heating in the presence of a suitable aldehyde (2) in an appropriate solvent or as a neat mixture of the two. Conventional or microwave heating may be employed. Functionalization in the presence of a base and suitable electrophilic (e.g. alkyl halide, alkyl sulfonate, sulfonyl halide, acid halide) agent provides the desired imidazolidinone.
In cases when the amino acid side chain may be modified, such as carboxylic acid side chain examples (e.g. 6) where PG is a suitable protecting group, removal of the protecting group using standard conditions provides imidazolidinone 7. Amide synthesis may then be accomplished using standard literature procedure to provide 8.
Alternatively, imidazolidinone 7 may be converted to suitably protected amines (9) using methods described in the literature, which may be subsequently deprotected under the appropriate conditions to provide the free amine 10. Side chain functionalization may then be accomplished with a suitable electrophile (e.g. carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid halide, sulfonyl halide, isocyanante) in the presence or absence of a suitable coupling agent (e.g. EDCI) or base (e.g. NEt3, DIPEA) to provide 11.
Reduction of 7 with a suitable reducing agent (e.g. borane) may also be employed to provide alcohol 12. Conversion of the alcohol to a leaving group (e.g. halide or sulfonate) using standard literature procedures followed by displacement with a nucleophile provides 13 where Nu is a suitable alcohol or amine.

KV1.5 PATCH CLAMP EP
Kv1.5 currents are recorded by the whole cell mode of patch clamp electrophysiology. Kv1.5 is stably over expressed in HEK cells. Microelectrodes are pulled from borosilicate glass (TW150) and heat polished (tip resistance, 1.5 to 3 megaohms). The external solution is standard Tyrodes solution. The internal (microelectrode) solution contained: 1 10 mM KCI, 5 mM K2ATP, 5 mM K4BAPTA, 1 mM MgCI2 and 10 mM HEPES, adjusted to pH 7.2 with KOH. Command potentials are applied for 1 second to +6OmV from a holding potential of -70 mV using Axon software (pClamp 8.1) and hardware (Axopatch 1 D, 200B). Compounds are prepared as 10-2OmM DMSO stocks and diluted to appropriate test concentrations. After stable currents are achieved, compounds are perfused onto the cells and the cells are pulsed every 5 seconds until no further changes in current are evident at a given compound concentration. Inhibition is measured at the end of the 1 second pulses and expressed relative to controls. Kv1.5 inhibition is estimated by single point determinations done at 1 μM.
Generally following this procedure, results for representative compounds according to the present invention are listed in Table 2 below.
