  • FGIDs include Functional Dyspepsia (FD), functional heartburn (a subset of GERD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Functional Bloating, Functional Diarrhea, Chronic Constipation, Functional Disturbancies of the Biliary Tract as well as other conditions according to Gut 1999; Vol. 45 Suppl. II.
  • Post-operative Ileus is defined as failure of aboral passage of intestinal contents due to transient impairment of Gl motility following abdominal surgery.
  • disorders of the Urinary Tract comprise conditions associated with functional disturbancies and/or discomfort/pain of the urinary tract.
  • disorders of the urinary tract include but are not limited to incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, detrusor hyperreflexia, outlet obstruction, urinary frequency, nocturia, urinary urgency, overactive bladder (OAB), pelvic hypersensitivity, urge incontinence, urethritis, prostatodynia, cystitis, idiopathic bladder hypersensitivity and the like.
  • OAB is a syndrome characterized by urgency, with or without urinary incontinence, and usually with increased voiding frequency and nocturia.
  • Gastro-Esophaqeal Reflux Disease results from the retrograde flow of gastric contents into the esophagus. It is the most common ailment in the upper gastro-intestinal tract; its cardinal feature and symptom is commonly known as "heartburn".
  • a major factor considered for GERD is an incompetence of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter that opens transiently and allows passage of material (e.g. meal, acidic fluid or bile), from the stomach into the esophagus.
  • This motor event denominated Transient Lower Esophageal Sphincter Relaxation occurs more often in patients suffering from GERD than in healthy subjects and occurs more often in infants with regurgitation.
  • Functional Dyspepsia is defined as a condition associated with a heterogeneous pattern of upper abdominal symptoms including discomfort, pain, aching, bloating, belching, fullness, early satiety, nausea and vomiting, burning and indigestion Almost 80 % of patients with Functional Dyspepsia have two or more of the above mentioned symptoms of the upper Gl tract.
  • the pathophysiological abnormalities observed in FD are as follows: Impaired gastric accommodation upon meal intake, hypersensitivity to gastric distension, delayed gastric emptying, autonomous and/or central nervous system disorder, exaggerated phasic contractile activity, abnormalities of the gastric electrical rhythm, duodenal hypersensitivity to lipids or acid, small intestinal dysmotility.
  • Meals evoke symptoms in more than 75 % of FD patients, and symptoms increase with meal ingestion in more than 90 % of patients. Therefore, a treatment that prepares the stomach to meal intake has the potential to reduce meal - evoked symptoms. In fact, low fasting volume (not postprandial volume) was found to be an independent predictor for reduced meal size and post-meal symptoms in FD patients (Delgado-Aros et al., Gastroenterology, 2004; 127:1685-1694).
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a chronic or remittent gastrointestinal illness characterized by symptoms that include abdominal pain and/or discomfort, bloating and bowel disturbances, which may be either diarrhea or constipation or a bowel habit that has features of both. Pain and/or Discomfort is often associated with FGIDs, disorders of the urinary tract and post-operative ileus; it is not only a symptom of GERD. Patients suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), dyspepsia, diseases of the biliary tract, pancreas, urinary bladder and post-operative conditions report pain and discomfort.
  • IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Visceral hypersensitivity has been discovered as a key phenomenon in many patients suffering from conditions like IBS, dyspepsia, GERD, functional heartburn and other conditions listed above. To date, there is no medication available which specifically treats visceral hypersensitivity and, thereby, reduces symptoms of pain/discomfort in patients suffering from GERD, functional heartburn, IBS, dyspepsia, diseases of the biliary tract, pancreas, urinary bladder and post-operative conditions. Pain, as used in this specification, includes visceral pain and/or visceral discomfort.

It will be understood that in the discussion of methods, references to the active ingredients are meant to also include the pharmaceutically acceptable salts. If these active ingredients have, for example, at least one basic center, they can form acid addition salts. Corresponding acid addition salts can also be formed having, if desired, an additionally present basic center. The active ingredients having an acid group (for example COOH) can also form salts with bases. The active ingredient or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof may also be used in form of a hydrate or include other solvents used for crystallization. The compounds of formula (I) and their manufacture is known, e.g. from WO03/047581.
In accordance with the present invention, it has now surprisingly been found that the compounds of formula (I) are useful in the treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal and urinary tract.
In particular compounds of formula (I) are useful in the treatment of conditions associated with visceral hypersensitivity, discomfort/ pain and/or altered motor dysfunctions.
Disorders of the Gl tract are well known to the expert. These disorders include Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Functional Gastro-intestinal Disorders and Post-operative Ileus. Functional Gastro-intestinal Disorders (FGIDs) are defined as chronic or recurrent conditions associated with abdominal symptoms without organic cause using conventional diagnostic measures. A cardinal symptom present in many FGIDs is visceral pain and/or discomfort. FGIDs include Functional Dyspepsia (FD), functional heartburn (a subset of GERD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Functional Bloating, Functional Diarrhea, Chronic Constipation, Functional Disturbancies of the Biliary Tract as well as other conditions according to Gut 1999; Vol. 45 Suppl. II.
Post-operative Ileus is defined as failure of aboral passage of intestinal contents due to transient impairment of Gl motility following abdominal surgery.
Disorders of the Urinary Tract comprise conditions associated with functional disturbancies and/or discomfort/pain of the urinary tract. Examples of disorders of the urinary tract include but are not limited to incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, detrusor hyperreflexia, outlet obstruction, urinary frequency, nocturia, urinary urgency, overactive bladder (OAB), pelvic hypersensitivity, urge incontinence, urethritis, prostatodynia, cystitis, idiopathic bladder hypersensitivity and the like. OAB is a syndrome characterized by urgency, with or without urinary incontinence, and usually with increased voiding frequency and nocturia.
Gastro-Esophaqeal Reflux Disease (GERD) results from the retrograde flow of gastric contents into the esophagus. It is the most common ailment in the upper gastro-intestinal tract; its cardinal feature and symptom is commonly known as "heartburn". A major factor considered for GERD is an incompetence of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter that opens transiently and allows passage of material (e.g. meal, acidic fluid or bile), from the stomach into the esophagus. This motor event denominated Transient Lower Esophageal Sphincter Relaxation (TLESR) occurs more often in patients suffering from GERD than in healthy subjects and occurs more often in infants with regurgitation. Current standard therapies in GERD aim at suppressing gastric acid secretion or enhancing gastrointestinal motility to limit the exposure of the esophagus to acidic gastric contents. Frequent exposure of the esophageal mucosa to acid can trigger pain (often perceived as heartburn) and lead to erosions. It can also lead to extra-esophageal disorders such as asthma, cough and laryngitis. Todate, there is no treatment available which reduces the occurrence of TLESRs and, thereby, the symptoms associated with GERD or regurgitation in infants.
Functional Dyspepsia (FD) is defined as a condition associated with a heterogeneous pattern of upper abdominal symptoms including discomfort, pain, aching, bloating, belching, fullness, early satiety, nausea and vomiting, burning and indigestion Almost 80 % of patients with Functional Dyspepsia have two or more of the above mentioned symptoms of the upper Gl tract. The pathophysiological abnormalities observed in FD are as follows: Impaired gastric accommodation upon meal intake, hypersensitivity to gastric distension, delayed gastric emptying, autonomous and/or central nervous system disorder, exaggerated phasic contractile activity, abnormalities of the gastric electrical rhythm, duodenal hypersensitivity to lipids or acid, small intestinal dysmotility. Meals evoke symptoms in more than 75 % of FD patients, and symptoms increase with meal ingestion in more than 90 % of patients. Therefore, a treatment that prepares the stomach to meal intake has the potential to reduce meal - evoked symptoms. In fact, low fasting volume (not postprandial volume) was found to be an independent predictor for reduced meal size and post-meal symptoms in FD patients (Delgado-Aros et al., Gastroenterology, 2004; 127:1685-1694).
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a chronic or remittent gastrointestinal illness characterized by symptoms that include abdominal pain and/or discomfort, bloating and bowel disturbances, which may be either diarrhea or constipation or a bowel habit that has features of both. Pain and/or Discomfort is often associated with FGIDs, disorders of the urinary tract and post-operative ileus; it is not only a symptom of GERD. Patients suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), dyspepsia, diseases of the biliary tract, pancreas, urinary bladder and post-operative conditions report pain and discomfort. Visceral hypersensitivity has been discovered as a key phenomenon in many patients suffering from conditions like IBS, dyspepsia, GERD, functional heartburn and other conditions listed above. To date, there is no medication available which specifically treats visceral hypersensitivity and, thereby, reduces symptoms of pain/discomfort in patients suffering from GERD, functional heartburn, IBS, dyspepsia, diseases of the biliary tract, pancreas, urinary bladder and post-operative conditions. Pain, as used in this specification, includes visceral pain and/or visceral discomfort.

The invention furthermore provides a method for the treatment of any of the above- indicated diseases / conditions, in a subject in need of such treatment, which comprises administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I).
The effectiveness of the compounds can be shown by a number of well established tests / models, including but not limiting to a GERD model in dogs, a model of fasted gastric tone and gastric accommodation to meal in dogs, visceral hyperalgesia models in rats, a visceral sensation/pain (urinary bladder) model in mice and model of volume - induced contractions of urinary bladder in rats.
GERD model in dogs:
Beagle dogs are equipped with a chronic esophagostomy to allow passage of a manometric catheter and a pH probe along the esophagus and the stomach.
Following recording of basal pressures of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter and the stomach, one of the novel compound of formula (I) described in WO 03/047581 A1 is administered at doses of 0.03, 0.1 , 0.3 and 1 mg/kg Lv.. Transient Lower Esophageal Sphincter Relaxations (TLESRs) and acid reflux are induced by infusion of an acidified meal followed by stomach distention using a peristaltic pump infusing air at 40 ml/min, according to a modification of Stakeberg, J. and Lehmann, A. Neurogastroenterol. Mot. (1999) 11 : 125-132. Selected compounds of formula (I) reduce dose-dependently the frequency of TLESRs and TLESRs associated with acid reflux. The extent of inhibition obtained for TLESRs as compared to vehicle control was 37 % (4.0 ± 0.5, n = 6 versus vehicle control 6.4 ± 0.6, n = 10, P < 0.05) and 62 % (2.4 ± 0.2, n = 5 versus vehicle control 6.4 ± 0.6, n = 10, P < 0.01) at doses of 0.3 and 1 mg/kg i.v., respectively. For TLESRs with acid reflux the extent of inhibition as compared to vehicle control was 85 % (0.3 ± 0.2, n = 6 versus vehicle control 2.1 ± 0.3, n = 10, P < 0.05) and 70 % (0.6 ± 0.4, n = 5 versus vehicle control 2.1 ± 0.3, n = 10, P > 0.05) at doses of 0.3 and 1 mg/kg i.v., respectively
Model of fasted gastric tone and gastric accommodation to meal in dogs: Beagle dogs are equipped with a chronic esophagostomy to allow passage of a balloon (10 cm long, max. volume 950 ml) into the stomach. Approx. 200 ml of air is slowly infused to unfold the balloon, the catheter is retracted to adequately position the balloon in the proximal stomach. After deflation of the balloon, the dog is left undisturbed for 30 min to allow the stomach to return to fasting volume. The balloon is then connected to a barostat device controlling both pressure and volume of the balloon. The minimal distending pressure (MDP) is determined and the balloon pressure is then set at MDP + 2 mmHg for 60 min. Afterwards, the pressure is lowered to 0 mmHg while a liquid nutritive meal (20 ml/kg body weight) is infused intragastrically at a speed of 100 ml/min. The balloon is re-inflated at a pressure of MDP + 2 mmHg for 60 min while meal - induced gastric accommodation occurs. The compound of formula (I) at a dose of 3 mg/kg or its vehicle is administered orally 10 min after the first balloon distension in the fasting condition. Baseline fasting gastric volume prior to administration was set at 100 %. The fasting gastric volume averaged every 10 min (from 0 to 50 min) post vehicle administration amounted to 85 %, 81 %, 79 %, 69 % and 68 %, respectively. In comparison, a selected compound of formula (I) increased the fasting volume; the averaged volumes (from 0 to 50 min) amounted to 97 %, 97 %, 159 %, 188 % and 197 %, respectively. One- way repeated measure ANOVA revealed that the gastric volume decreased significantly post vehicle administration (n = 5, P < 0.01), however, it increased significantly post administration of selected compound of Formula (I) (n = 5, P < 0.01). Following administration of the meal, gastric volumes were increased significantly to 427 % (P < 0.05) and 338 % (P < 0.05) of baseline gastric volume with vehicle and, selected compound of formula (I), .respectively. The results of this study show that the selected compound of formula (I) relaxes the fasted stomach (prior to meal intake) without affecting gastric accommodation as consequence of meal intake. In conclusion, selected compound of formula (I) should be useful for the treatment of dyspeptic symptoms in patients suffering from Functional Dyspepsia, GERD, Functional heartburn and IBS. Visceral hyperalgesia in rats (model 1):
Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS, 30 mg/kg in ethanol 25 %) is instilled in the colon of rats to induce visceral hyperalgesia 7 days prior to experiments applying graded colorectal distensions according to a modified method by Tarrerias, A. et al., Pain (2002) 100: 91-97. Abdominal striated muscle contractions induced by graded colorectal distension (10 - 60 mmHg, 10 mmHg increments, 3 min duration with 1 min deflation using a barostat) indicate the degree of visceral nociception. Selected compounds of formula (I) at doses of 0.1-10 mg/kg (oral or parenteral administration) reduce the exaggerated abdominal striated muscle contractions, indicative of a visceral antinociceptive activity.
Visceral hyperalgesia in rats (model 2):
In the water avoidance stress model, according to a modification of Schwetz, I. et al., Am. J. Physiol. (2005) 286: G683-G691 , selected compounds of formula (I) at doses of 0.1-10 mg/kg (oral or parenteral administration) reduce responses to graded colorectal distension (10 - 60 mmHg, 10 mmHg increments, 3 min duration with 1 min deflation using a barostat), such as abdominal striated muscle contractions, indicative of a visceral antinociceptive activity.
Visceral hyperalgesia in rats (model 3):
In the model with intracolonic acetic acid (1.5 %, 3 days prior to the colorectal distensions), according to a modification of La, J. et al., World J. Gastroenterol. (2003) 9: 2791-2795, selected compounds of formula (I) at doses of 0.1-10 mg/kg (oral or parenteral administration) reduce responses to graded colorectal distension (10 - 60 mmHg, 10 mmHg increments, 3 min duration with 1 min deflation using a barostat), such as abdominal striated muscle contractions, indicative of a visceral antinociceptive activity.
Visceral sensation/pain (urinary bladder) in mice: An angiocatheter is placed intravesically via the urethra in anesthetized mice and anchored in place. After establishing a reproducible response to urinary bladder distention (UBD; e.g., 60 mm Hg) responses to graded stimuli (10 to 80 mm Hg) are determined according to Ness TJ and Elhefni H. J Urol. (2004) 171 :1704-8. Electromyographic responses to UBD (electrodes implanted in the superior oblique musculature of the abdomen) are quantified. Selected compounds of formula (I) at doses of 0.1 -10 mg/kg (oral or parenteral administration) reduce the EMG (visceromotor) response, indicative of a visceral antinociceptive and /or hypo- sensensitivity activity.
Distension - induced contractions of rat urinary bladder: In anesthetized rats, the urinary bladder was catheterized by use of a PE50 polyethylene tubing filled with physiological saline. Intravesical pressure was measured by a pressure transducer. Cystometry was performed during constant infusion (0.06 ml/min) of saline into the bladder to elicit bladder contractions (Tagaki- Matzumoto et al J. Pharmacol. Sci. (2004) 95 : 458-465). Selected compound of formula (I) at doses of 0.1-10 mg/kg (oral or parenteral administration) increased threshold volumes eliciting bladder contractions indicative of therapeutic potential in conditions with bladder dysfunctions (listed above), e.g., such as overactive bladder, urge incontinence, detrusor hyperreflexia.
These findings with compound of formula (I) are inter alia indicative for the therapeutic use in the treatment of GERD, regurgitation, IBS, dyspepsia, functional bloating, OAB and of conditions associated with visceral discomfort and/or pain.
Post-operative ileus model: Moreover, it has been found that compound of formula (I) described in WO
03/047581 A1 at doses of 0.01-100 mg/kg, preferably at 0.1-10 mg/kg, e.g., at 1 mg/kg (parenteral adminstration) show activity in the post-operative ileus model according to Huge, A. et al., J. Surg. Res (1998) 74: 112-118, as evidenced by a faster restauration of gastrointestinal motility as compared to vehicle/placebo treatment.
Hence, it follows that compounds of formula (I) are useful in the treatment of postoperative complaints such as visceral pain and/or discomfort, and ileus.
