The compounds of the present invention may have one or two chiral centers, providing for up to two ((R) and (S)) or four (R9R), (S5S), (R,S), and (S9R) stereoisomers. This invention includes all of the stereoisomers and mixtures thereof. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, reference to one stereoisomer applies to any of the possible stereoisomers. Whenever the stereoisomeric composition is unspecified, all possible stereoisomers are included. The structure marking "*" indicates the location of a carbon atom that is a chiral center,
As used herein except where noted, "alkyl" is intended to include both branched- and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having the specified number of carbon atoms. Commonly used abbreviations for alkyl groups are used throughout the specification, e.g. methyl may be represented by conventional abbreviations including "Me" or CH3 or a symbol that is an extended bond as the terminal group, e.g. «* , ethyl may be represented by "Et" or CH2CH3, propyl may be represented by "Pr" or CH2CH2CH3, butyl may be represented by "Bu" or CH2CH2CH2CH3 , etc. "C i .4 alkyl" (or "C 1 -C4 alkyl") for example, means linear or branched chain alkyl groups, including all isomers, having the specified number of carbon atoms. C 1-4 alkyl includes n-, iso-, sec- and t-butyl, n- and isopropyl, ethyl and methyl. If no number is specified, 1-4 carbon atoms are intended for linear or branched alkyl groups.
The term "aikenyl" includes both branched and straight chain unsaturated hydrocarbon groups containing at least two carbon atoms joined by a double bond. The alkene ethylene is represented, for example, by "CH2CH2" or alternatively, by "H2C=CH2". "C2-5 aikenyl" (or "C2-C5 aikenyl") for example, means linear or branched chain aikenyl groups having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms and includes all of the pentenyl isomers as well as 1-butenyl, 2- butenyl, 3-butenyl, l-propenyl, 2-ρroρenyl, and ethenyl (or ethylenyl). Similar terms such as "C2-3 aikenyl" have an analogous meaning.
The term "cycloalkyl" means a cyclic ring of an alkane having a specified number of ring atoms (e.g., "C3-C8 cycloalkyl" has three to eight total carbon atoms, e.g., cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, or cyclooctyl). The terms "C3-7 cycloalkyl", "C3-6 cycloalkyl", "C5-7 cycloalkyl" and the like have analogous meanings. The term "aryl" refers to a functional group or substituent derived from a simple aromatic ring, e.g., phenyl, benzyl, lolyl, o-xylyl. The term "benzyl" refers to -CH2C6H5. The term "phenyl" refers to - CgHs .
The term alkylarylene (e.g, C I-.4 alkylarylene) refers to a substituent group wherein the aryl portion of the substituent is attached to the substituted molecule, e.g.
T 'he term arylalkylene (e.g, arylC I-.4 alkylene) refers to a substituent group wherein the alkyl portion of the substituent is attached to the substituted molecule, e.g.
The term "amino" refers to NH2.
The term "morpholino" refers to the ring
Figure imgf000016_0001
Unless indicated otherwise, the term "heterocycle" (and variations thereof such as "heterocyclic" or "heterocyclyl") broadly refers to (i) a stable 4- to 8-membered, saturated or unsaturated monocyclic ring, (ii) a stable 7- to 12-membered bicyclic ring system, or (iii) a stable 11- to 15-membered tricyclic ring stystem, wherein each ring in (ii) and (iii) is independent of, or fused to, the other ring or rings and each ring is saturated or unsaturated, and the monocyclic ring, bicyclic ring system or tricyclic ring system contains one or more heteroatoms (e.g., from 1 to 6 heteroatoms, or from 1 to 4 heteroatoms) selected from N, O and S and a balance of carbon atoms (the monocyclic ring typically contains at least one carbon atom and the bicyclic and tricyclic ring systems typically contain at least two carbon atoms); and wherein any one or more of the nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms is optionally oxidized, and any one or more of the nitrogen heteroatoms is optionally quaternized. Unless otherwise specified, the heterocyclic ring may be attached at any heteroatom or carbon atom, provided that attachment results in the creation of a stable structure. Unless otherwise specified, when the heterocyclic ring has substituents, it is understood that the substituents may be attached to any atom in the ring, whether a heteroatom or a carbon atom, provided that a stable chemical structure results.
Saturated heterocyclics form a subset of the heterocycles. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, the term "saturated heterocyclic" generally refers to a heterocycle as defined above in which the entire ring system (whether mono- or poly-cyclic) is saturated. The term
"saturated heterocyclic ring" refers to a 4- to 8-membered saturated monocyclic ring, a stable 7- to 12-membered bicyclic ring system, or a stable 1 1- to 15-membered tricyclic ring system, which consists of carbon atoms and one or more heteroatoms selected from N, O and S. Representative examples include piperidinyl, piperazinyl, azepanyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrazolidinyl, imidazolidinyl, oxazolidinyl, isoxazolidinyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, thiazolidinyl, isothiazolidinyl, and tetrahydrofuryl (or tetrahydrofuranyl).
Unsaturated heterocyclics form another subset of the heterocycles. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, the term "unsaturated heterocyclic" generally refers to a heterocycle as defined above in which the entire ring system (whether mono- or poly-cyclic) is not saturated, i.e., such rings are either unsaturated or partially unsaturated. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, the term "heteroaromatic ring" refers a 5- or 6-membered monocyclic aromatic ring, a 7- to 12-membered bicyclic ring system, or a 1 1- to 15-membered tricyclic ring system, which consists of carbon atoms and one or more heteroatoms selected from N, O and S. In the case of substituted heteraromatic rings containing at least one nitrogen atom (e.g., pyridine), such substitutions can be those resulting in N-oxide formation. Representative examples of heteroaromatic rings include pyridyl, pyrrolyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, thienyl (or thiophenyl), thiazolyl, furanyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, oxazolyl, isooxazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, and thiadiazolyl. Representative examples of bicyclic heterocycles include benzotriazolyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, indazolyl, indolinyl, isoindolinyl, quinoxalinyl, quinazolinyl, cinnolinyl, chromanyl, isochromanyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, quinolinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, isoquinolinyl,

Vessel relaxation
The ability of the compounds to induce vasorelaxation was tested in vitro in isolated rabbit thoracic aorta preparations (Wanstall J.C. et ah, Br. Jf. Pharmacol., 134:463-472, 2001). Male New Zealand rabbits were anaesthetized with thiopental-Na (50 mg/kg, iv), sacrificed by exsanguinations and then the thorax was opened and the aorta dissected. Aortic ring preparations (4 mm in length) were set up in physiological salt solution (PSS) at 37°C in small organ chambers (5 ml). The composition of PSS was (rnM): NaCl 130, NaHCO3 14.9, KH2PO4 1.2, MgSO4 1.2, HEPES 10, CaCl2 , ascorbic acid 170 and glucose 1.1 (95% O2 /5% CO2 ; pH 7.4). Each ring was mounted under 2 g passive tension. Isometric tension was recorded with a Grass transducer (Grass FT03) attached to a BIOPAC MP 150 System. Preparations were allowed to equilibrate for Ih, and then contracted submaximally with noradrenaline (NA, 1 μM) and, when the contraction was stable, acetylcholine (ACh, 10 μM) was added. A relaxant response to ACh indicated the presence of a functional endothelium. Vessels that were unable to contract NA or showed no relaxation to ACh were discarded. When a stable precontraction was reached, a cumulative concentration-response curve to either of the vasorelaxant agents was obtained in the presence of a functional endothelium. Each arterial ring was exposed to only one combination of inhibitor and vasorelaxant. Moreover, the effect of the soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ (1 -H-( 1 ,2,4)-oxadiazol(4,3-a)quinoxalm- 1 -one) on vasorelaxation elicited by the compounds was examined preincubating the aortic rings with ODQ (10 μM) for 20 min.
Examples 32 and 48 were evaluated for vessel relaxation. In vitro, tissue-based measure of vessel relaxation, determined in rabbit aortic slices, demonstrated vessel relaxation according to the indicated EC50 (molar concentration of compound which produces 50% of the maximum possible response for that compound - Data Table 1).
