Definitions
- the present invention relates to quinoline analogs, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as TRPV4 antagonists.
- TRPV4 is a member of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) superfamily of cation channels and is activated by heat, demonstrating spontaneous activity at 528 temperatures (Guler et al., 2002. J Neurosci 22: 6408-6414). Consistent with its polymodal activation property TRPV4 is also activated by hypotonicity and physical cell stress/pressure (Strotmann et al., 2000. Nat Cell Biol 2: 695-702), through a mechanism involving phospholipase A2 activation, arachidonic acid and epoxyeicosatrienoic acid generation (Vriens et al., 2004.
- TRP Transient Receptor Potential
- tyrosine kinase activity may also regulate TRPV4 (Wegierski et al., 2009. J Biol Chem. 284: 2923-33).
- Heart failure results in the decreased ability of the left ventricle to pump blood into the peripheral circulation as indicated by a reduced ejection fraction and/or left ventricular dialation. This increases the left ventricular end diastolic pressure resulting in enhanced pulmonary blood pressures. This places the septal barrier, which separates the circulatory aqueous environment and the alveolar airspaces of the lung, at risk. Increased pulmonary pressure results in the flow of fluid from the pulmonary circulation into the alveolar space resulting in lung
- TRPV4 is expressed in the lung (Delany et al., 2001. Physiol. Genomics 4: 165-174) and has been shown to mediate Ca 2+ entry in isolated endothelial cells and in intact lungs (Jian et al., 2009 Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 38: 386-92). Endothelial cells are responsible for forming the capillary vessels that mediate oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange and contribute to the septal barrier in the lung.
- TRPV4 channels Activation of TRPV4 channels results in contraction of endothelial cells in culture and cardiovascular collapse in vivo (Willette et al., 2008 J Pharmacol Exp Ther 325: 466- 74), at least partially due to the enhanced filtration at the septal barrier evoking lung edema and hemorrage (Alvarez et al., 2006. Circ Res 99: 988-95). Indeed filtration at the septal barrier is increased in response to increased vascular and/or airway pressures and this response is dependent on the activity of TRPV4 channels (Jian et al., 2008 Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 38: 386-92). Overall this suggests a clinical benefit of inhibiting TRPV4 function in the treatment of heart failure associated lung congestion. Additional benefit is suggested in inhibiting TRPV4 function in pulmonary-based pathologies presenting with symptoms including lung edema/congestion, infection,
- TRPV4 chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder
- COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder
- Enhanced TRPV4 activity is also a key driver in ventilator-induced lung injury (Hamanaka et al., 2007. Am J Physiol 293: L923- 32) and it is suggested that TRPV4 activation may underlie pathologies involved in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pulmonary fibrosis and asthma (Liedtke & Simon, 2004.
- ARDS acute respiratory distress syndrome
- pulmonary fibrosis pulmonary fibrosis
- asthma Liedtke & Simon, 2004.
- TRPV4 channels have recently been implicated in urinary bladder function (Thorneloe et al., 2008. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 326 : 432-42) and are likely to provide therapeutic benefit for conditions of bladder overactivity, characterized by an increased urge to urinate and an enhancement of micturition frequency. These data suggest a clinically beneficial effect of inhibiting TRPV4, located on multiple cell types, on urinary bladder function that is likely to be effective in bladder disorders such as overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis and painful bladder syndrome.
- TRPV4 has in recent years been implicated in a number of other physiological/pathophysiological processes in which TRPV4 antagonists are likely to provide significant clinical benefit. These include various aspects of pain (Todaka et al., 2004. J Biol Chem 279: 35133-35138; Grant et al., 2007. J Physiol 578: 715-733; Alessandri-Haber et al., 2006. J Neurosci 26: 3864-3874), genetic motor neuron disorders (Auer-Grumbach et al., 2009. Nat Genet. PMID: 20037588; Deng et al., 2009. Nat Genet PMID: 20037587; Landoure et al., 2009.

- Substituted in reference to a group indicates that one or more hydrogen atom attached to a member atom within the group is replaced with a substituent selected from the group of defined substituents. It should be understood that the term “substituted” includes the implicit provision that such substitution be in accordance with the permitted valence of the substituted atom and the substituent and that the substitution results in a stable compound (i.e. one that does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, or elimination and that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation from a reaction mixture). When it is stated that a group may contain one or more substituents, one or more (as appropriate) member atoms within the group may be substituted. In addition, a single member atom within the group may be substituted with more than one substituent as long as such substitution is in accordance with the permitted valence of the atom. Suitable substituents are defined herein for each substituted or optionally substituted group.
- the compounds of Formula (I) may have one or more asymmetric carbon atom and may occur as racemates, racemic mixtures and as individual enantiomers or diastereomers. All such isomeric forms are included within the present invention, including mixtures thereof.

- compounds according to Formula (I) may contain an acidic functional group and are, therefore, capable of forming pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts by treatment with a suitable base.
- bases include a) hydroxides, carbonates, and bicarbonates of sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, and zinc; and b) primary, secondary, and tertiary amines including aliphatic amines, aromatic amines, aliphatic diamines, and hydroxy alkylamines such as methylamine, ethylamine, 2- hydroxyethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine,
- compounds according to Formula (I) may contain a basic functional group and are therefore capable of forming pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts by treatment with a suitable acid.

- Solvates wherein water is the solvent incorporated into the crystalline lattice are typically referred to as "hydrates.” Hydrates include stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containing variable amounts of water. The invention includes all such solvates.
- polymorphs may exhibit polymorphism (i.e. the capacity to occur in different crystalline structures). These different crystalline forms are typically known as "polymorphs.”
- the invention includes all such polymorphs. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometrical arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, may have different physical properties such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns, which may be used for identification.
- polymorphs may be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the reaction conditions or reagents, used in making the compound. For example, changes in temperature, pressure, or solvent may result in polymorphs. In addition, one polymorph may spontaneously convert to another polymorph under certain conditions.

Description
TRPV4 ANTAGONISTS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to quinoline analogs, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as TRPV4 antagonists.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
TRPV4 is a member of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) superfamily of cation channels and is activated by heat, demonstrating spontaneous activity at 528 temperatures (Guler et al., 2002. J Neurosci 22: 6408-6414). Consistent with its polymodal activation property TRPV4 is also activated by hypotonicity and physical cell stress/pressure (Strotmann et al., 2000. Nat Cell Biol 2: 695-702), through a mechanism involving phospholipase A2 activation, arachidonic acid and epoxyeicosatrienoic acid generation (Vriens et al., 2004. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101 : 396-401 ), In addition, amongst other mechanisms proposed, tyrosine kinase activity may also regulate TRPV4 (Wegierski et al., 2009. J Biol Chem. 284: 2923-33).
Heart failure results in the decreased ability of the left ventricle to pump blood into the peripheral circulation as indicated by a reduced ejection fraction and/or left ventricular dialation. This increases the left ventricular end diastolic pressure resulting in enhanced pulmonary blood pressures. This places the septal barrier, which separates the circulatory aqueous environment and the alveolar airspaces of the lung, at risk. Increased pulmonary pressure results in the flow of fluid from the pulmonary circulation into the alveolar space resulting in lung
edema/congestion, as is observed in patients with congestive heart failure.
TRPV4 is expressed in the lung (Delany et al., 2001. Physiol. Genomics 4: 165-174) and has been shown to mediate Ca2+ entry in isolated endothelial cells and in intact lungs (Jian et al., 2009 Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 38: 386-92). Endothelial cells are responsible for forming the capillary vessels that mediate oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange and contribute to the septal barrier in the lung. Activation of TRPV4 channels results in contraction of endothelial cells in culture and cardiovascular collapse in vivo (Willette et al., 2008 J Pharmacol Exp Ther 325: 466- 74), at least partially due to the enhanced filtration at the septal barrier evoking lung edema and hemorrage (Alvarez et al., 2006. Circ Res 99: 988-95). Indeed filtration at the septal barrier is increased in response to increased vascular and/or airway pressures and this response is dependent on the activity of TRPV4 channels (Jian et al., 2008 Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 38: 386-92). Overall this suggests a clinical benefit of inhibiting TRPV4 function in the treatment of heart failure associated lung congestion.
Additional benefit is suggested in inhibiting TRPV4 function in pulmonary-based pathologies presenting with symptoms including lung edema/congestion, infection,
inflammation, pulmonary remodeling and/or altered airway reactivity. A genetic link between TRPV4 and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) has recently been identified (Zhu et al., 2009. Hum Mol Genetics, 18: 2053-62) suggesting potential efficacy for TRPV4 modulation in treatment of COPD with or without coincident emphysema. Enhanced TRPV4 activity is also a key driver in ventilator-induced lung injury (Hamanaka et al., 2007. Am J Physiol 293: L923- 32) and it is suggested that TRPV4 activation may underlie pathologies involved in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pulmonary fibrosis and asthma (Liedtke & Simon, 2004. Am J Physiol 287: 269-71 ). A potential clinical benefit for TRPV4 blockers in the treatment of sinusitis, as well as allergic and non-allergic rhinitis is also supported (Bhargave et al., 2008. Am J Rhinol 22:7-12).
In addition, TRPV4 channels have recently been implicated in urinary bladder function (Thorneloe et al., 2008. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 326 : 432-42) and are likely to provide therapeutic benefit for conditions of bladder overactivity, characterized by an increased urge to urinate and an enhancement of micturition frequency. These data suggest a clinically beneficial effect of inhibiting TRPV4, located on multiple cell types, on urinary bladder function that is likely to be effective in bladder disorders such as overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis and painful bladder syndrome.
Furthermore TRPV4 has in recent years been implicated in a number of other physiological/pathophysiological processes in which TRPV4 antagonists are likely to provide significant clinical benefit. These include various aspects of pain (Todaka et al., 2004. J Biol Chem 279: 35133-35138; Grant et al., 2007. J Physiol 578: 715-733; Alessandri-Haber et al., 2006. J Neurosci 26: 3864-3874), genetic motor neuron disorders (Auer-Grumbach et al., 2009. Nat Genet. PMID: 20037588; Deng et al., 2009. Nat Genet PMID: 20037587; Landoure et al., 2009. Nat Genet PMID: 20037586), cardiovascular disease (Earley et al., 2005. Circ Res 97: 1270-9; Yang et al., 2006. Am. J Physiol. 290:L1267-L1276), and bone related disorders;
including osteoarthritis (Muramatsu et al., 2007. J. Biol. Chem. 282: 32158-67), genetic gain-of function mutations (Krakow et al., 2009. Am J Hum Genet 84: 307-15; Rock et al., 2008 Nat Genef 40: 999-1003) and osteoclast differentiation (Masuyama et al. 2008. Cell Metab 8: 257- 65).

"Alkyl" refers to a monovalent saturated hydrocarbon chain having the specified number of member atoms. For example, C-M alkyl refers to an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 member atoms. Alkyl groups may be straight or branched. Representative branched alkyl groups have one, two, or three branches. Alkyl includes methyl, ethyl, propyl (n-propyl and isopropyl), and butyl (n-butyl, isobutyl, and t-butyl).
"Cycloalkyl" refers to a monovalent saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon ring having the specified number of member atoms. For example, C3-6 cycloalkyl refers to a cycloalkyl group having from 3 to 6 member atoms. Unsaturated cycloalkyl groups have one or more carbon-carbon double bonds within the ring. Cycloalkyl groups are not aromatic. Cycloalkyl includes cyclopropyl, cyclopropenyl, cyclobutyl, cyclobutenyl, cyclopentyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexyl, and cyclohexenyl.
When used herein, the terms 'halogen' and 'halo' mean fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, and fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo, respectively.
"Substituted" in reference to a group indicates that one or more hydrogen atom attached to a member atom within the group is replaced with a substituent selected from the group of defined substituents. It should be understood that the term "substituted" includes the implicit provision that such substitution be in accordance with the permitted valence of the substituted atom and the substituent and that the substitution results in a stable compound (i.e. one that does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, or elimination and that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation from a reaction mixture). When it is stated that a group may contain one or more substituents, one or more (as appropriate) member atoms within the group may be substituted. In addition, a single member atom within the group may be substituted with more than one substituent as long as such substitution is in accordance with the permitted valence of the atom. Suitable substituents are defined herein for each substituted or optionally substituted group.
With regard to stereoisomers, the compounds of Formula (I) may have one or more asymmetric carbon atom and may occur as racemates, racemic mixtures and as individual
enantiomers or diastereomers. All such isomeric forms are included within the present invention, including mixtures thereof.
As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to those compounds, materials, compositions, and dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.
The skilled artisan will appreciate that pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds according to Formula (I) may be prepared. These pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compound, or by separately treating the purified compound in its free acid or free base form with a suitable base or acid, respectively.
In certain embodiments, compounds according to Formula (I) may contain an acidic functional group and are, therefore, capable of forming pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts by treatment with a suitable base. Examples of such bases include a) hydroxides, carbonates, and bicarbonates of sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, and zinc; and b) primary, secondary, and tertiary amines including aliphatic amines, aromatic amines, aliphatic diamines, and hydroxy alkylamines such as methylamine, ethylamine, 2- hydroxyethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine,
diethanolamine, and cyclohexylamine.
In certain embodiments, compounds according to Formula (I) may contain a basic functional group and are therefore capable of forming pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts by treatment with a suitable acid. Suitable acids include pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic acids and organic acids. Representative pharmaceutically acceptable acids include hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, hydroxyacetic acid, phenylacetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, maleic acid, acrylic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, tannic acid, formic acid, stearic acid, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, methylsulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, oleic acid, lauric acid, and the like.
As used herein, the term "a compound of Formula (I)" or "the compound of Formula (I)" refers to one or more compounds according to Formula (I). The compound of Formula (I) may exist in solid or liquid form. In the solid state, it may exist in crystalline or noncrystalline form, or as a mixture thereof. The skilled artisan will appreciate that pharmaceutically acceptable solvates may be formed for crystalline compounds wherein solvent molecules are incorporated
into the crystalline lattice during crystallization. Solvates may involve non-aqueous solvents such as, but not limited to, ethanol, isopropanol, DMSO, acetic acid, ethanolamine, or ethyl acetate, or they may involve water as the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice. Solvates wherein water is the solvent incorporated into the crystalline lattice are typically referred to as "hydrates." Hydrates include stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containing variable amounts of water. The invention includes all such solvates.
The skilled artisan will further appreciate that certain compounds of the invention that exist in crystalline form, including the various solvates thereof, may exhibit polymorphism (i.e. the capacity to occur in different crystalline structures). These different crystalline forms are typically known as "polymorphs." The invention includes all such polymorphs. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometrical arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, may have different physical properties such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns, which may be used for identification. The skilled artisan will appreciate that different polymorphs may be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the reaction conditions or reagents, used in making the compound. For example, changes in temperature, pressure, or solvent may result in polymorphs. In addition, one polymorph may spontaneously convert to another polymorph under certain conditions.
The subject invention also includes isotopically-labelled compounds, which are identical to those recited in formula (I) and following, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulphur, fluorine, iodine, and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 1 1C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 170, 180, 31 P, 32P, 35S, 18F, 36CI, 1231 and 1251.
Compounds of the present invention and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds that contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or other isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of the present invention. Isotopically-labelled compounds of the present invention, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H, 14C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, i.e., 3H, and carbon-14, i.e., 14C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. 1 1 C and 18F isotopes are particularly useful in PET (positron emission tomography), and 1251 isotopes are particularly useful in SPECT (single photon emission computerized tomography),
all useful in brain imaging. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e. , 2H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopically labelled compounds of formula I and following of this invention can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the
Schemes and/or in the Examples below, by substituting a readily available isotopically labelled reagent for a non-isotopically labelled reagent.

Compound Preparation
The skilled artisan will appreciate that if a substituent described herein is not compatible with the synthetic methods described herein, the substituent may be protected with a suitable protecting group that is stable to the reaction conditions. The protecting group may be removed at a suitable point in the reaction sequence to provide a desired intermediate or target compound. Suitable protecting groups and the methods for protecting and de-protecting different substituents using such suitable protecting groups are well known to those skilled in the art; examples of which may be found in T. Greene and P. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Chemical Synthesis (3rd ed.), John Wiley & Sons, NY (1999). In some instances, a substituent may be specifically selected to be reactive under the reaction conditions used. Under these
circumstances, the reaction conditions convert the selected substituent into another substituent that is either useful as an intermediate compound or is a desired substituent in a target compound.
The synthesis of the compounds of the general formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives and salts thereof may be accomplished as outlined below in Schemes 1 - 8. In the following description, the groups are as defined above for compounds of formula (I) unless otherwise indicated. Starting materials are commercially available or are made from commercially available starting materials using methods known to those skilled in the art.
As shown in Scheme 1 , the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in a multi-step sequence from substituted methyl 3-methyl-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylates. The substituted methyl 3-methyl-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate is treated with V-bromosuccinimide and benzoyl peroxide to form an appropriately substituted bromomethyl quinoline, which can undergo displacement with an appropriate amine in acetonitrile to afford the corresponding tertiary amine. The methyl ester can be hydrolyzed under standard conditions, for example by treatment with KOH in methanol/water. Coupling of the acid with an appropriate benzylamine under standard conditions, for example, EDC/HOBT or T3P, provides compounds of Formula I.

The substituted methyl 3-methyl-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate employed in Scheme 1 can be prepared using the multi-step sequence described in Scheme 2. The substituted 3- methyl-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid can be formed by reaction of an appropriately substituted 1 H-indole-2,3-dione with KOH in refluxing ethanol. This compound can be converted to a substituted methyl 3-methyl-6-(alkylthio)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate in a two-step procedure wherein the acid is converted to the methyl ester via an acid chloride intermediate (oxalyl chloride, DMF, then MeOH). The fluoroquinoline can be displaced with an appropriate thiol nucleophile to afford methyl 3-methyl-6-(alkylthio)-2-phenyl-4- quinolinecarboxylates.
Methyl 3-methyl-6-(alkylthio)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylates can also be accessed in a one-pot procedure by displacement of the fluoride with an appropriate thiolate nucleophile, followed by esterification with iodomethane. Alternatively, thioether intermediates can be accessed directly using an appropriately substituted thioalkyi isatin under standard conditions. Methyl 3-methyl-6-(alkylthio)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylates can be converted to the required
sulfones using standard oxidation procedures, for example, oxone or m-CPBA in suitable solvents.

The 7-methoxy group can be converted to other substitutions using procedures known to those skilled in the art. For example, the
substituted methyl 3-methyl-7-(methoxy)-6-(alkylsulfonyl)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate can be demethylated by treatment with HBr in AcOH . The substituted 3-methyl-7-hydroxy-6- (alkylsulfonyl)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid can be treated with oxalyl chloride in the presence of DMF to form the ester. Formation of the methyl 3-methyl-7-alkoxy-6-(alkylsulfonyl)- 2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate can be accomplished by alkylation of the hydroxyl quinoline with an appropriately substituted alkyi halide such as alkyi iodide in the presence of base such as cesium carbonate.

Substituted 3-methyl-2-phenyl-4- quinolinecarboxylic acids can be formed by reaction of an appropriately substituted 1 H-indole- 2,3-dione with KOH in refluxing ethanol. This intermediate can be converted to the substituted methyl 3-methyl-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate by treatment with oxalyl chloride in the presence of DMF, and methanolysis of the resulting acid chloride. The substituted methyl 3- methyl-6-bromo-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate can undergo a Cu-mediated coupling with an appropriate alkyi sulfinate to install the requisite alkyi sulfone. The resulting substituted methyl 3-methyl-6-(alkylsulfonyl)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate can be converted to the compounds of Formula I using the method described in Scheme 1.

When R5 is alkoxy, the substituted methyl 3-methyl-6-(alkylsulfonyl)-2-phenyl-4- quinolinecarboxylate can also be accessed via the multistep sequence outlined in Scheme 6. An appropriately substituted 6-bromo-3-methyl-7-(methyloxy)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid can be prepared from the appropriately substituted aniline, the appropriately substituted benzaldehyde, and 2-oxobutanoic acid. Incorporation of the alkylsulfone can be accomplished by Cu-mediated coupling of an appropriate sodium sulfinate. The resulting carboxylic acid can be converted to the corresponding methyl ester by treatment with oxalyl chloride in DMF, followed by methanolysis of the resulting acid chloride to afford the 3-methyl-6-(alkylsulfonyl)-7- (methyloxy)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate. Alternatively, as known to those skilled in the art, the order of steps can be modified, and the substituted 6-bromo-3-methyl-7-(methyloxy)-2- phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid can be converted to the methyl ester using standard conditions (for example, oxalyl chloride in DMF, then MeOH). The substituted methyl 3-methyl- 6-(alkylsulfonyl)-7-(methyloxy)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate can be then be generated from the corresponding quinoline bromide using a Cu-mediated coupling reaction to install the alkylsulfone. The resulting substituted methyl 3-methyl-6-(alkylsulfonyl)-2-phenyl-4- quinolinecarboxylate can be converted to the compounds of Formula I using the method described in Scheme 1. Alternatively, the substituted methyl 3-methyl-7-(methoxy)-6- (alkylsulfonyl)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate can be demethylated by treatment with HBr in AcOH. The substituted 3-methyl-7-hydroxy-6-(alkylsulfonyl)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid can be treated with oxalyl chloride in the presence of DMF to form the ester. Formation of the methyl 3-methyl-7-alkoxy-6-(alkylsulfonyl)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate can be
accomplished by alkylation of the hydroxyl quinoline with an appropriately substituted alkyl iodide in the presence of cesium carbonate. The resulting substituted methyl 3-methyl-7-alkoxy- 6-(alkylsulfonyl)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylate can be converted to the compounds of Formula I using the method described in Scheme 1.
The compounds of Formula I can also be formed using the multistep sequence outlined in Scheme 7. The substituted 3-methyl-7-(alkylthio)-2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid is formed by reaction of the appropriately substituted benzaldehyde, the appropriate 3- (alkylthio)aniline, and 2-oxobutanoic acid in refluxing ethanol. Oxidation of this intermediate using m-CPBA provides the substituted methyl 3-methyl-7-(alkylsulfonyl)-2-[3- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-quinolinecarboxylate. The resulting intermediate is treated with N- bromosuccinimide and benzoyl peroxide in carbon tetrachloride, followed by an appropriate amine in acetonitrile to afford the corresponding tertiary amine. The methyl ester can be hydrolyzed with KOH in methanol/water. The acid is then coupled with the appropriate benzylamine in the presence of T3P to provide compounds of Formula I.

Accordingly, in another aspect the invention is directed to methods of treating such conditions.
The methods of treatment of the invention comprise administering a safe and effective amount of a compound according to Formula I or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof to a patient in need thereof.
As used herein, "treat" in reference to a condition means: (1 ) to ameliorate or prevent the condition or one or more of the biological manifestations of the condition, (2) to interfere with (a) one or more points in the biological cascade that leads to or is responsible for the condition or (b) one or more of the biological manifestations of the condition, (3) to alleviate one or more of the symptoms or effects associated with the condition, or (4) to slow the progression of the
The skilled artisan will appreciate that "prevention" is not an absolute term. In medicine, "prevention" is understood to refer to the prophylactic administration of a drug to substantially diminish the likelihood or severity of a condition or biological manifestation thereof, or to delay the onset of such condition or biological manifestation thereof.
As used herein, "safe and effective amount" in reference to a compound of the invention or other pharmaceutically-active agent means an amount of the compound sufficient to treat the patient's condition but low enough to avoid serious side effects (at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio) within the scope of sound medical judgment. A safe and effective amount of a compound will vary with the particular compound chosen (e.g. consider the potency, efficacy, and half-life
of the compound); the route of administration chosen; the condition being treated; the severity of the condition being treated; the age, size, weight, and physical condition of the patient being treated; the medical history of the patient to be treated; the duration of the treatment; the nature of concurrent therapy; the desired therapeutic effect; and like factors, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by the skilled artisan.
As used herein, "patient" refers to a human or other animal.
The compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable route of administration, including both systemic administration and topical administration. Systemic administration includes oral administration, parenteral administration, transdermal
administration, rectal administration, and administration by inhalation. Parenteral administration refers to routes of administration other than enteral, transdermal, or by inhalation, and is typically by injection or infusion. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injection or infusion. Inhalation refers to administration into the patient's lungs whether inhaled through the mouth or through the nasal passages. Topical administration includes application to the skin as well as intraocular, otic, intravaginal, and intranasal administration.
The compounds of the invention may be administered once or according to a dosing regimen wherein a number of doses are administered at varying intervals of time for a given period of time. For example, doses may be administered one, two, three, or four times per day. Doses may be administered until the desired therapeutic effect is achieved or indefinitely to maintain the desired therapeutic effect. Suitable dosing regimens for a compound of the invention depend on the pharmacokinetic properties of that compound, such as absorption, distribution, and half-life, which can be determined by the skilled artisan. In addition, suitable dosing regimens, including the duration such regimens are administered, for a compound of the invention depend on the condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the age and physical condition of the patient being treated, the medical history of the patient to be treated, the nature of concurrent therapy, the desired therapeutic effect, and like factors within the knowledge and expertise of the skilled artisan. It will be further understood by such skilled artisans that suitable dosing regimens may require adjustment given an individual patient's response to the dosing regimen or over time as individual patient needs change.
Typical daily dosages may vary depending upon the particular route of administration chosen. Typical dosages for oral administration range from 1 mg to 1000 mg per person per dose. Preferred dosages are 10 - 500 mg BID per person.
Additionally, the compounds of the invention may be administered as prodrugs. As used herein, a "prodrug" of a compound of the invention is a functional derivative of the compound which, upon administration to a patient, eventually liberates the compound of the invention in vivo. Administration of a compound of the invention as a prodrug may enable the skilled artisan to do one or more of the following: (a) modify the onset of the compound in vivo; (b) modify the duration of action of the compound in vivo; (c) modify the transportation or distribution of the compound in vivo; (d) modify the solubility of the compound in vivo; and (e) overcome or overcome a side effect or other difficulty encountered with the compound. Typical functional derivatives used to prepare prodrugs include modifications of the compound that are chemically or enzymatically cleaved in vivo. Such modifications, which include the preparation of phosphates, amides, esters, thioesters, carbonates, and carbamates, are well known to those skilled in the art.
Compositions
The compounds of the invention will normally, but not necessarily, be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions prior to administration to a patient. Accordingly, in another aspect the invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in bulk form wherein a safe and effective amount of a compound of the invention can be extracted and then given to the patient such as with powders or syrups. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in unit dosage form wherein each physically discrete unit contains a safe and effective amount of a compound of the invention. When prepared in unit dosage form, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention typically contain from 1 mg to 1000 mg.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention typically contain one compound of the invention. However, in certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention contain more than one compound of the invention. For example, in certain embodiments the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention contain two compounds of the invention. In addition, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may optionally further comprise one or more additional pharmaceutically active compounds.
As used herein, "pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient" means a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle involved in giving form or consistency to the pharmaceutical composition. Each excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of
the pharmaceutical composition when commingled such that interactions which would substantially reduce the efficacy of the compound of the invention when administered to a patient and interactions which would result in pharmaceutical compositions that are not pharmaceutically acceptable are avoided. In addition, each excipient must of course be of sufficiently high purity to render it pharmaceutically-acceptable.
The compound of the invention and the pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient or excipients will typically be formulated into a dosage form adapted for administration to the patient by the desired route of administration. For example, dosage forms include those adapted for (1 ) oral administration such as tablets, capsules, caplets, pills, troches, powders, syrups, elixers, suspensions, solutions, emulsions, sachets, and cachets; (2) parenteral administration such as sterile solutions, suspensions, and powders for reconstitution; (3) transdermal administration such as transdermal patches; (4) rectal administration such as suppositories; (5) inhalation such as dry powders, aerosols, suspensions, and solutions; and (6) topical administration such as creams, ointments, lotions, solutions, pastes, sprays, foams, and gels.
Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients will vary depending upon the particular dosage form chosen. In addition, suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for a particular function that they may serve in the composition. For example, certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of uniform dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of stable dosage forms. Certain
pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the carrying or transporting of the compound or compounds of the invention once administered to the patient from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to enhance patient compliance.
Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients include the following types of excipients: diluents, fillers, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, glidants, granulating agents, coating agents, wetting agents, solvents, co-solvents, suspending agents, emulsifiers, sweetners, flavoring agents, flavor masking agents, coloring agents, anticaking agents, hemectants, chelating agents, plasticizers, viscosity increasing agents, antioxidants, preservatives, stabilizers, surfactants, and buffering agents. The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may serve more than one function and may
serve alternative functions depending on how much of the excipient is present in the formulation and what other ingredients are present in the formulation.
Skilled artisans possess the knowledge and skill in the art to enable them to select suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients in appropriate amounts for use in the invention. In addition, there are a number of resources that are available to the skilled artisan which describe pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients and may be useful in selecting suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients. Examples include Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company), The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives (Gower Publishing Limited), and The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (the American

To a solution of methyl 6-bromo-3-methyl-7-(methyloxy)-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4- quinolinecarboxylate (72 g, 159 mmol) in dimethyl sulfoxide (1057 mL) was added copper(l) iodide (60.4 g, 317 mmol) and isopropyl sulfinic acid sodium salt (41.3 g, 317 mmol). The mixture was evacuated and purged with N2 three times and then heated at 120°C for 6 h, then cooled to 65°C. Stirring was continued at 65°C overnight then cooled to room temperature and Mel (39.6 mL, 634 mmol) was added. After stirring for 1 h, the mixture was diluted with DCM (750 mL) and water (1 L), followed by vigorous stirring for 30 min. The mixture was then filtered over celite and washed with DCM. The two layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with DCM. The DCM extracts were washed 2x brine, dried over Na2S04, filtered and concentrated to afford a thick dark residue. To the residue was added MeOH (500 mL) and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure until a precipitate formed. This solution was then heated to reflux with stirring and then allowed to cool slowly overnight. The following day, the mixture was filtered and washed with MeOH (100 mL) to give 44 g of an off white solid. The filtrate was concentrated and the process was repeated to give an additional 20 g. The resulting off white solids were a mixture of product, the acid of the product, and some unreacted starting material. The 44g crop was dissolved in DCM (500 mL) and washed with 2N NaOH (400 mL). The DCM was separated and the aqueous layer extracted 2 times with DCM (100 ml). The
combined DCM extracts were dried over Na2S04 and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a light yellow residue. The same procedure was repeated with the 20 g crop. This process removed the acid from the mixture. The first residue was dissolved in DCM (100 ml.) and this mixture was heated to reflux and hexanes (500 ml.) was added. The mixture was again heated to reflux making sure all the material was in solution. The solution was allowed to stir at reflux without a condenser. This reduced the amount of DCM in the solution allowing the product to crystallize. Once solid material began to appear in the solution, the solution was allowed to slowly cool to room temperature then filtered and washed with hexanes. The same procedure was repeated with the other residue. The two solids were combined in a 1 L flask and the DCM/Hex procedure was repeated. The filter cake was transferred into a 1 L flask and dried under reduced pressure to afford methyl 3-methyl-6-[(1-methylethyl)sulfonyl]-7- (methyloxy)-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-quinolinecarboxylate (53 g, 69% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.24 (s, 1 H), 7.99 - 8.05 (m, 2H), 7.92 (d, J = 8.03 Hz, 1 H), 7.76 - 7.84 (m, 2H), 4.09 (s, 6H), 3.83 (quin, J = 6.78 Hz, 1 H), 2.37 (s, 3H), 1.21 (s, 3H), 1.20 (s, 3H); MS (m/z) 482.1 (M+H+).
