Definitions

• the present disclosure relates to large-conductance potassium channel modulators, compositions thereof, methods of manufacturing thereof, and methods of use thereof in a treatment of a disease or a condition modulated by large-conductance potassium channels.
• G-protein coupled receptors are ubiquitous transmembrane receptor proteins that are major targets in disease-treatment and drug-development. They are currently the most common targets for FDA(United States Food and Drug Administrationj-approved drugs. Although the GPCRs are more commonly focused upon, BK (big potassium) channels are perhaps even more fundamental. Due to variability in component composition and posttranslational modifications, BK channel subtypes are expressed in different frequencies in various organs/tissues, with differing chemo-sensitivities and 2nd-messenger transduction processes.
• BK channels Although widely distributed, the physiological differences among BK channels which results from posttranslational modification (alternative splicing) and co-assembly with auxiliary modulatory subunits (bi- 4 and gi-4), bestows localized differences in subunit composition, distribution, 2 nd - messengerger coupling, and pharmacologic properties. Due to the ubiquitous nature of BK channels and the multiplicity of subtypes, they have many potential therapeutic applications in the maintenance of oxygen homeostasis, cerebro- and cardio-protection, and stimulation of respiration in response to drug-induced respiratory depression. BK channels may also offer other potentially broad and underrecognized promising targets for novel pharmaceutical development.

• the substituents are independently selected from the group consisting of Ci-6 alkyl, — OH, Ci-6 alkoxy, halo, amino, acetamido and nitro.
• the carbon chain may be branched, straight or cyclic, with straight being preferred.
• BK channels There are three main subfamilies of Ca 2+ -activated potassium channels, SK (small conductance), IK (intermediate conductance), and BK (big conductance).
• the terms “large- conductance potassium channels” and “BK channels” may be used interchangeably throughout this disclosure.
• the BK channels (encoded by the Kcnmal gene) are also called BKc a , MaxiK, Slol, KCal.1, and KCNMA1, among other names. They were first cloned in 1992, and based on their modulatory roles have been described as the “universal regulator of cellular excitability” and even “king of ion channels”.
• BK channels are voltage- and Ca 2+ -sensitive potassium channels, tetramers formed of a subunits.
• BK a subunits differ from the SK/IK group in the existence of an additional transmembrane helix which drives the /V-terminus to the extracellular side of the plasma membrane.
• Each membrane-spanning domain of a BK channel contains a pore-gate and voltage sensing domain. These two domains are made of two regulators of conductance of potassium, RCK1 and RCK2. The RCK1-RCK2 link with BK channels is highly conserved.
• BK channels allow rapid and large influxes of potassium through the channel, thus hyperpolarizing the membrane. Conformational change of the subunits and channels transduces and stabilizes the channel pore in its open state. The large (‘big’) influx is 10-20 times larger than most other K + channels. They can form homo- and hetero-multimeric channels and can be expressed on both pre and post synaptic sites. BK channels can detect intracellular calcium concentrations as well as membrane depolarization independently. This puts the BK channel in a “unique” position to control of excitable cells. And the expression of particular BK subunit subtypes tune the BK channels to the local signaling environment. The different subunit subtypes differentiate the functional expression of these channels.
• BK channel currents abruptly increase during the first two weeks after birth in animal models, which may be coincident with their functional maturation as the channels adjust (to) neuronal properties as the animal matures. This is an “experience dependent plasticity” that helps shape how BK channels will function in the mature animal.
• FIG. 1 provides a representation of a transmembrane BK channel, showing the pore-related a subunit with Ca 2+ -sensing RCK1 and RCK2, and accessory b subunit. Variations in each of the components provides diversity in the sensitivity and the response of the BK channel.
• BK channels could participate in the maintenance of protection against ischemia and hypoxia at multiple points throughout the body. For instance, it is believed that BK channels play a role in providing cerebro- and cardio- protective actions against ischemia and hypoxia, and stimulate respiration in the presence of such conditions (both local and systemic).

• BK channels function as an “emergency brake” which limits calcium-induced glutamate release and NMDA activity, which occurs during cerebral ischemia.
• Blood flow in the brain is closely regulated by a number of processes, but especially by neurovascular coupling. The component processes are controlled through coordinated activity of neurons, astrocytes, and parenchymal arterioles. Changes in localized blood flow ensures adequate oxygenation and nutrition to brain tissues.
• BK channel subtypes appear to be a prime mechanism in the transition from vasodilation in normal oxygenation of brain tissue, to vasoconstriction in the presence of blood consequent to a cerebral aneurysm rupture, worsening cerebral ischemia, and damage to cells.
• BK channel subtypes may also play a role during cerebral ischemia from stroke other than aneurysmal bleed.
• Focal ischemia occurs due to the activity of BK channels on astrocytes increasing intracellular calcium and potassium efflux resulting in apoptotic and necrotic cellular death and reactive gliosis, all of which extend the damage from the initial ischemic event.
