Alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonists are useful in the treatment and/or prevention 10 of many diseases.
Individuals having a deletion in the alpha-2B-adrenoceptor protein (WO 01/29082; Heinonen et al., 1999), particularly the deletion/deletion genotype (D/D genotype) is an important target group, which benefits from administration of selective alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonists. These individuals have a deletion of 3 15 glutamates from the glutamic acid repeat element of 12 glutamates (amino acids 297-309), in an acid stretch of 17 amino acids, located in the third intracellular loop of the receptor polypeptide.
It has been found that in a population-based cohort of Finnish middle-aged men that subjects with a D/D genotype of the alpha-2B-adrenoceptor gene have a 20 significantly elevated risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a five-year follow-up study. The risk for AMI was increased in subjects who had no previously diagnosed coronary heart disease (CHD) at the study outset. Therefore, it has been postulated that the D/D genotype is related to an impaired capacity to down-regulate alpha-2B-adrenoceptor function during sustained receptor 25 activation. Therefore, alpha-2B-adrenoceptors are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of a significant fraction of all cases of AMI, especially in subjects with the D/D genotype, but also in I/D and I/I subjects (I means "insertion" and stands for the "normal" allele).
The alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonists as disclosed in this invention would be particularly useful in the treatment or prevention of coronary heart diseases. As 5 examples can be mentioned a) Acute AMI If alpha-2B-adrenoceptor dependent vasoconstriction is a causative factor in some cases of AMI, then antagonism of these receptors should restore coronary circulation and reduce the ischemic myocardial damage. b) Unstable angina pectoris An alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonist will relieve the vasoconstrictive component in the sustained ischemic episode, thus alleviating the symptoms and preventing AMI. c) Prinzmetal's variant form of angina pectoris Vasoconstriction is a key factor in the pathogenesis of Prinzmetal's angina, and an alpha-2B- adrenoceptor antagonist may resolve and prevent attacks. d) Other forms of chronic angina pectoris and CHD An alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonist will help to alleviate the vasoconstrictive component in all types of CHD, providing both symptomatic 20 relief and protection from AMI. A general reduction in vascular tone will contribute to this by reducing venous return, cardiac workload and oxygen consumption (a nitrate-type effect; see below). e) Prevention of restenosis after coronary angioplasty in cases where vasoconstriction plays a role in restenosis.
Furthermore, the alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonists as disclosed in this invention would be useful in the treatment or prevention of essential hypertension, especially in subjects with increased sympathetic activity and a hyperdynamic circulatory system.
In the study mentioned above, the D/D variant of the alpha-2B-adrenoceptor gene was not clearly associated with blood pressure. The inventors believe that this was 5 due to two main factors, 1) antihypertensive treatment, and 2) complex regulation of systemic blood pressure. In another study (Heinonen et al.), it was observed that the D/D genotype was associated with reduced basal metabolic rate and reduced heart rate. These associations probably reflect increased vascular resistance in these subjects.
In transgenic mice with targeted inactivation of the alpha-2B-adrenoceptor gene, intravenously administered alpha-2-adrenoceptor agonists fail to induce the characteristic blood pressure elevation, which is seen in normal animals and also in humans after large doses of such drugs (Link et al., 1996). The hypotensive effect of these drugs was markedly accentuated. This demonstrates that alpha-2B-15 adrenoceptors mediate vascular contraction. Thus, an antagonist should reduce blood pressure. This effect has not been seen with alpha-2B-non-selective alpha-2-adrenoceptor antagonists, because antagonism of alpha-2A-adrenoceptors increases sympathetic outflow, cardiac output and blood pressure. In mice with dysfunctional alpha-2A-adrenoceptors, alpha-2-adrenoceptor agonists caused an 20 accentuated hypertensive response and no hypotension (MacMillan et al., 1996).
An alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonist is postulated to have favourable effects in hypertensive subjects through their effects on renal function, muscle blood flow, and also on vascular resistance in other vascular beds. The anti-AMI effect of such a drug will be an additional benefit, as hypertension is a significant risk factor for 25 AMI. This protection is due to three factors: 1) a reduction in systemic blood pressure, 2) decreased risk of coronary vasoconstriction, and 3) a nitrate-like effect on venous return, myocardial workload and oxygen consumption.
WO 03/008387 PCT/FI02/00643 11 Moreover, the alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonists as disclosed in this invention would be useful in the treatment or prevention of other vascular diseases. Specifically, benefits can be expected in the treatment or prevention of - vasoconstriction and hypoxic brain damage subsequent to subarachnoid 5 haemorrhage, - migraine, - Raynaud's disease and cold intolerance, - pre-eclampsia, - male erectile dysfunction, and - obesity and the metabolic syndrome.
The last mentioned effect is due to the fact that reduced muscle blood flow and reduced basal metabolic rate contribute to the development of obesity and hypertension. An alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonist will, by increasing the muscle blood flow, increase energy expenditure and shift the caloric balance to a 15 favourable direction.
The alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonists disclosed in this invention are also useful in anaesthesia and analgesia to potentiate the clinical efficacy of alpha-2-adrenoceptor agonists, which are not selective for the alpha-2B-adrenoceptor subtype. By blocking the vasoconstriction induced by these agonists, a 20 simultaneously administered alpha-2B-adrenoceptor antagonist will allow the use of larger doses of said agonists, up to anaesthetic dose levels which have not previously been possible in man, only in veterinary anaesthetic practice. 12 EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Human alpha-2-adrenoceptor binding affinity The affinity of test compounds for the three human a2-adrenoceptor subtypes (0C2A, (X2B and 0C2c) was determined in competition binding assays with 3H-rauwolscine. 5 The biological material for these experiments consisted of membranes from Shionogi SI 15 cells stably transfected with any of the three human a2 subtypes (Maijamaki et al. 1992). Membrane (5-10 fig of total protein per sample) and 1-2 nM 3H-rauwolscine (specific activity 78 Ci/mmol) were incubated in 50 mM KH2PO4, pH 7.5 with 6 concentrations of the compounds. Each concentration was 10 run in duplicate. Non-specific binding was defined by 100 jiM oxymetazoline and corresponded to 5-15% of total binding. After 30 min at room temperature, incubations were terminated by rapid vacuum filtration through GF/B glass fiber filter and three 5 ml washes with ice-cold incubation buffer. The filters were then dried, impregnated with scintillate and their radioactivity was measured by 15 scintillation counting. The analysis of the experiments was carried out by nonlinear least square curve fitting. Experimentally determined IC50 values were converted to Ki's by making use of the Cheng-Prusoff equation (Cheng and Prusoff, 1973). Experiments were repeated a minimum of three times.

Antagonist activity on human alpha-2-adrenoceptor subtypes Antagonist potencies were determined as the ability of test compounds to competitively inhibit epinephrine-stimulated 35S-GTPyS binding to G proteins (Tian et al., 1993; Wieland and Jakobs, 1994; Jasper et al., 1998) in membranes of CHO cells stably transfected with one of the three human 0C2 subtypes (Pohjanoksa 10 et al., 1997; Marjamaki et al., 1998). Membranes (2-6 jig of protein per sample) and 12 concentrations of test compound were preincubated for 30 min with a fixed concentration fo epinephrine (5 |iM for a2A„ 15 |iM for 0t2B> 5 |iM for 02c) in 50 mM Tris, 5 mM MgCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 10 |iM GDP, 30 |iM ascorbic acid, pH 7.4 at room temperature. Binding of radiolabel was 15 started by the addition of trace amounts of 35S-GTPyS (0.08-0.15 nM, specific activity 1250 Ci/mmol) to the incubation mixture. After an additional 60 min at room temperature, the incubation was terminated by rapid vacuum filtration through glass fibre filter. Filters were washed three times with 5 ml ice cold wash buffer (20 mM Tris, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA pH 7.4 at room temperature), 20 dried and counted for radioactivity in a scintiallation counter. Analysis of experiments was carried out by non-linear least square fitting. Results are based on a minimum of three experiments. 14 Table 2: Antagonist effect on human (^-adrenoceptor subtypes.
