## Title
Benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives, preparation thereof, and pharmaceutical composition containing the same

## Abstract

The present invention is related to benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives, a preparation method thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same. The derivatives have potent inhibitory effect on the sodium/hydrogen exchanger NHE-I, improve the functional recovery of ischemia/reperfusion-induced heart injury in isolated ischemic heart models, and significantly reduce the myocardiac infarct size in in vivo ischemic animal models, thereby showing excellent cardioprotective effects. Also, the derivatives are protective of both neuronal cells and the brain as proven by their protective effects on neuronal cells from necrosis and apoptosis and by their ability to significantly reduce cerebral infarct sizes in in vivo ischemic brain models. The derivatives can be effectively used for the prevention and treatment of ischemic heart diseases such as myocardiac infarction, arrhythmia, angina pectoris and the like, and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral stroke and be used as cardioprotective agents to the patients undergoing reperfusion therapy including chemicals such as thrombolytic agents, or surgery such as coronary artery bypass and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

## Background
This application is a 371 of PCT/KR2005/004573 filed on Dec. 27, 2005, published on Jul. 6, 2006 under publication number WO 2006/071047 A1 which claims priority benefits from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2004-0112856 filed Dec. 27, 2004, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives, preparation thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions containing the same.
BACKGROUND ART
Although coronary reperfusion therapy with chemicals such as thrombolytic agents, or surgery such as coronary artery bypass and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty immediately after ischemic heart diseases such as acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, heart failure, etc., increases the survival rate of patients suffering therefrom, the effect thereof remains controversial because of aftereffects including a high recurrence rate of myocardiac infarction or arrhythmia, or cardiac dysfunction or neurocognitive dysfunction [Robert, M. (2003) Ann. Thorac. Surg. 75: S700-708]. Thus, there is a need for a heart protection agent that can delay the progress of ischemic damage to cardiomyocytes and protect reperfusion-induced injuries [Kloner, R. A.; Rezkalla, S. H. (2004) J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 44: 276-286].
NHE (sodium-hydrogen exchanger) is an ion channel expressed in various cell species, playing an important role in intracellular pH control. Thus far, 7 subtypes have been found, with NHE-1, major subtype in myocardiac cell, known to play a pivotal role in myocardial ischemic-reperfusional injury [Avkiran, M. et al., (2002) J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 39: 747-753]. NHE-1 doesn't work at a normal physiological pH condition (7.2). NHE-1 is activated by the profound intracellular acidosis (pH=6.4) that accompanies ischemia. The efflux of H+ through the activated NHE-1 is increased, causing intracellular Na+ overload, which leads to intracellular Ca2+ overload through a reverse mode of NCX (Na+/Ca2+ exchanger). An increase of intracellular calcium ions activates enzymes, such as proteases, phospholipase, endonucleases, etc., to cause protein degradation, ROS (reactive oxygen species) increase attributed to lipid metabolism hindrance, DNA damage, and finally, cell injury. This leads to the conclusion that the inhibition of NHE-1 reduces intracellular Na+ ion overload and thus intracellular Ca2+ ion overload, thereby protecting cells from ischemic/reperfusional injury. However, the inhibition of NHE-1 does not induce the intracellular acidosis as the increased intracellular hydrogen ion concentration is controlled by other ion channels.
The pyrazine derivative amiloride, used as a diuretic agent, was found at first to function as an NHE inhibitor [Benos, D J. (1982) A. J. Physiol. 242: C131]. In a rat ischemic heart model, amiloride was observed to improve cardiac function recovery after ischemia/reperfusion by the inhibition of NHE-1. However, amiloride has a problem as a carioprotecting agent due to a lack of selectivity for NHE-1, as it was found to inhibit NHE-2 and sodium channels as well as NHE-1.
Hence, extensive research has been done in order to develop the agents specific for NHE-1, and Hoechst Marion Roussel (now Aventis) succeeded in developing cariporide (HOE-694), a benzoyl guanidine derivative highly specific for NHE-1 [Scholz, W. et. al., (1993) Br. J. Pharmacol. 109: 562]. Almost all of the NHE-1 inhibitors known so far are acylguanidines, as exemplified by the selective NHE-1 inhibitors zoniporide, sabiporide, SM-20220, BMS-284640, etc.
It was found that the protective effects of NHE-1 inhibitors on ischemic reperfused hearts, that is, apoptosis or necrosis reduction, functional recovery of injured myqcardium, arrhythmia reduction, and metabolic status improvement, can be achieved by reducing the intracellular overload of sodium and calcium ions [Karmazyn, M. (2002) Science & Medicine: 18-26]. Hence, functioning as cardioprotectives against ischemia/reperfusion injury, selective NHE-1 inhibitors can be applied to the patients undergoing reperfusion therapy including coronary artery bypass, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and/or thrombolytics for acute myocardiac infarction, and therefore will live up to the hope of treatment and prevention of a broad spectrum of ischemic heart diseases including heart failure, arrhythmia, etc.
Leading to the present invention, the intensive and thorough research on selective NHE-1 inhibitors, conducted by the present inventors, resulted in the finding that benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives as selective inhibitors of NHE-1, are effective in functional recovery of ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial injury, and neuroprotective against apoptosis, in addition to having a significant reduction in infarction size as measured in cerebral and cardiac ischemia models, thereby greatly contributing to the treatment and prevention of ischemic heart and brain diseases.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method for preparing the benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives of Formula 1, as represented by Scheme 1, is provided.




wherein,
R1 and R2 are as defined in Formula 1;
L is a leaving group that is readily substitutable with guanidine and is selected from among halogen, alkoxy, aryloxy, sulfonyloxy, and carbonyloxy, preferably halogen, alkoxy, tosylate(—OSO2PhCH3), or mesylate (—OSO2CH3).
In Scheme 1, the carboxylic acid derivative (II) may be ester, acyl halide, or acid anhydride depending on the leaving group L. Examples of the ester derivative include active ester derivatives (e.g., p-nitrophenyl ester, N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, pentafluorophenyl ester), or sulfonate ester (tosylate ester, mesylate ester) in addition to general alkyl esters (e.g., methyl ester, ethyl ester). These carboxylic acid derivatives may be readily prepared from carboxylic acids using a typical method well known in the art.
In Scheme 1,
1) when the carboxylic acid derivative (II) is an alkyl ester or an active ester,
it is allowed to react with a proper amount of, or an excess of, guanidine in a suitable solvent to afford the compound (I).
The solvent suitable for this reaction may be selected from among alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, and dimethylformamide (DMF), and mixtures thereof. The reaction is conducted at the temperature raging from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent used.
2) When the carboxylic acid derivative (II) is an acyl halide or an acid anhydride,
it is allowed to react with an excess of guanidine in a suitable solvent or with guanidine in the presence of a base to afford the compound (I). An inorganic base, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, etc., or an organic base, such as triethyl amine, pyridine, etc., may be suitable for use in this reaction.
As the reaction solvent, an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as benzene, toluene, etc., an ether solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent such as dichloromethane, chloroform, etc., dimethylformamide (DMF), or combinations thereof may be used.
The carboxylic acid derivative (II), used as the starting material in Scheme 1, is prepared as follows.
1) In the case where the carboxylic acid derivative (II) in Scheme 1 is a general alkyl ester, such as methyl or ethyl ester (L=OMe or OEt) and R1 is H, halogen (Br, Cl, F, I), CN, NO2, NH2, amino, haloalkyl, or alkoxy.
When R1 of the carboxylic acid derivative (II) used in Scheme 1 is hydrogen, halogen (Br, Cl, F, I), cyano, nitro, amino, haloalkyl, or alkoxy, a compound (IV) is fomylated to give an aldehyde compound (V) which is subjected to a nucleophilic substitution reaction with methyl thioglycolate and subsequently to an intramolecular cyclization reaction, in order to produce the compound (II-1), as described in the following Scheme 2.




wherein,
R1 is H, halogen (Br, Cl, F, I), CN, NO2, amino, C1 ̃C5 haloalkyl, or C1 ̃C5 alkoxy;

X is F, NO2, Cl, or Br.
The aldehyde compound (V) used in Scheme 2 may be a commercially available compound or may be prepared from the compound (IV) having suitably substituted R1, R2 and X using a base. In latter case, the base, such as lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) or n-butyl lithium, is used to eliminate the proton from the carbon atom positioned between R1 and X-substituted carbon atoms, and the negative charge thus produced attacks dimethylformamide (DMF) or methyl formate to introduce an aldehyde group thereinto, as known in the art.
The compound (V) undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction in the presence of a base, in which the nucleophilic attack of the thiol group of methyl thioglycolate on the carbon atom substituted with X, that is, halogen (F, Cl, Br) or nitro, occurs, so that methyl thioglycolate is added thereto while the X group is removed therefrom. Subsequently, there occurs an intramolecular cyclization reaction in which the alpha hydrogen of ester is eliminated and the negative charge thus formed attacks the aldehyde, followed by dehydration. That is, the benzothiophene ring compound (II-1) is prepared from the compound (V) via a sequence of nucleophilic substitution, intraomolecular cyclization and dehydration. The base suitable for these reactions is preferably potassium carbonate, potassium t-butoxide or sodium hydride. The serial reactions are preferably conducted in DMF or an ether solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane at a temperature ranging from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent used.
In Scheme 2, the compound having an amino group as R1 may be prepared from a compound (II-1) having a nitro group as R1 by a typical reduction process.

If used, palladium is preferred as a catalyst. Pd2(dba)3 or Pd(PPh3)4 is more preferable as a catalyst. In order to promote the reaction in combination with the catalyst, dppf (1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene), Et4NCN, or Bu3SnCl may be used. When a palladium catalyst is employed, an ether, such as dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, an aromatic hydrocarbon, such as benzene or toluene, CH3CN, or DMF may be used, alone or in combination, as a solvent. The reaction temperature is allowed to range from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent used.
2) In the case where the carboxylic acid derivative (II) in Scheme 1 is a general alkyl ester, such as methyl or ethyl ester (L=OMe or OEt) and R1 is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or aryl.

Y and Z are independently H, halogen, CN, NO2, amino, branched or straight C1 ̃C5 alkyl, C1 ̃C5 alkenyl, C1 ̃C5 alkynyl, C1 ̃C5 alkoxy, or C1 ̃C5 haloalkyl;
R1 is branched or straight C1 ̃C5 alkyl, C1 ̃C5 alkenyl, C1 ̃C5 alkynyl or C6 ̃C14 aryl, the C6 ̃C14 aryl being non-substituted or substituted with one selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, I, CN, NO2, an amino group, and branched or straight C1 ̃C5 alkyl, C1 ̃C5 alkenyl, C1 ̃C5 alkynyl, C1 ̃C5 alkoxy, and C1 ̃C5 haloalkyl; and
R2 is as defined in Formula 1;
Q is B(OH)2, BCl2, BBr2,




SnBU3, SnMe3, or ZnCl.

In Scheme 4, a phosphine such as PPh3, P-(o-tolyl)3, or PBu3, or a salt such as lithium chloride, lithium bromide or lithium iodide may be used as an additive in order to promote the reaction and increase the production yield.
The base is used in an amount of 1 to 3 equivalents for the Suzuki-type reaction in Scheme 4. A tertiary amine organic base such as triethylamine and isopropylethylamine, or an inorganic base such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, cesium carbonate, barium hydroxide, and the like is useful. If an inorganic base is insoluble in an organic solvent, it may be added as a 0.5 to 4 M aqueous solution.
For the reaction in Scheme 4, an ether such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, an aromatic such as benzene, toluene, xylene, etc., an alcohol solvent such as methanol, ethanol, etc., DMF, acetonitryl, or ethylacetate may be used, alone or in combination, as a solvent.

PREPARATIVE EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of 4-Bromobenzothiophene-2-Carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester
(Step 1) Preparation of 2,6-Dibromo Benzaldehyde
To anhydrous THF (70 ml), diisopropylamine (8.3 ml, 59.34 mmol) was added and then n-BuLi (1.6 M, 59.34 mmol) was slowly added dropwise at 0° C. using a syringe in a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, and the temperature thereof was cooled to −78° C. Subsequently, 1,3-dibromobenzene (7 g, 29.67 mmol) in THF (35 ml) was slowly added using a dropping funnel. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min, following the slow addition of DMF (4.6 ml, 59.34 mmol), and then continuously stirred for 1 hour. After the termination of the reaction, an aqueous solution of dilute H2SO4 was added, and the resulting solution was extracted two times with ethyl acetate, washed with a saturated NaCl solution, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=40:1), thus obtaining the title compound as a white solid (6.64 g, 25.16 mmol, 85%).

Compounds of Formula 1 according to the present invention were assayed for various biochemical and pharmacologic activities through the following experiments.
EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 1
Inhibitory Effect on NHE-1
The benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives of the present invention were examined for NHE-1 inhibitory effect in cells according to the following procedure.
Human NHE-1 was expressed in CCL39-derived PS120 cells. These human NHE-1 expressed cells were cultured in DMEM (Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin (100× solution), 1% L-glutamine (200 mM aqueous solution). The PS120/NHE-1 cells grown in 100 mm dishes were treated with trypsin at 80-90% confluency, followed by washing with PBS (phosphate buffer saline) once, and then once with an Na-free buffer (138.2 mM Choline chloride, 4.9 mM KCl, 1.5 nM CaCl2. 2H2O, 1.2 mM MgSO4.7H2O, 1.2 mM KH2PO4, 15 mM D-glucose, 20 mM HEPES, at pH 7.4). After centrifugation, the pellet was suspended in an Na-free buffer containing 20 mM NH4Cl and 10 μM BCECF-AM [2′,7′-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5,6-carboxy-fluorescein acetoxymethyl ester] and incubated at 37° C. for 30 min in a CO2 incubator. After being harvested by centrifugation, the PS120/NHE-1 cells were washed once with an Na-free buffer to remove both NH4Cl and extracellular BCECF-AM, suspended at a density of 2.5×104 cells/10 μl and stored at 4° C. in a dark room until reuse. In each well of 96-well microplates, 180 μl of HBS (137 mM NaCl, 4.9 mM KCl, 1.5 mM CaCl2. 2H2O, 1.2 mM MgSO4.7H2O, 1.2 mM KH2PO4, 15 mM D-glucose, 20 mM HEPES, at pH 7.4) and 10 μl of DMSO or 10 μl of a solution of the compound (0.03 ̃10 μM) of the present invention in DMSO were placed and well mixed, after which 10 μl aliquots of the intracellular acidosis-induced PS120/NHE-1 cells were added thereto. 4 min after the cell addition, fluorescence (excitation: 485/444 nm, emission: 535 nm) was measured in the GEMINI-XS Microplate Spectrofluorometer (Molecular Devices). The fluorescence measured was converted into pH values using a high-K+/nigericin technique. The cells in which intracellular acidosis was induced with NH4Cl prepulses, were recovered to normal pH values through the operation of NHE-1. The inhibitory effect of the compound against NHE-1 was evaluated as concentrations at which the recovery from the intracellular acidosis to a normal state was 50% inhibited (IC50 values), with cariporide used as a control.
The results were shown in Table 2, below.

As shown in Table 2, the control cariporide showed a potent inhibitory effect on NHE-1, with an IC50 value of 0.68 μM. Compounds of Examples 1, 3, 19, 23, 32 ̃39, 41 ̃43, and 45 ̃47 according to the present invention inhibited NHE-1, with IC50 values below 3.0 μM. Especially, compounds of Examples 1, 32, 34, 36, 37, 43 and 45 had IC50 values less than 0.5 μM, showing more potent inhibition on NHE-1 than that of cariporide.
Hence, the compounds of the present invention could be used as cardioprotectives against ischemia/reperfusion injury owing to their potent inhibitory effect on NHE-1.
EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 2
Cardioprotective Effect in Isolated Ischemic Rat Heart Model
For examining whether the benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives of the present invention were cardioprotective, the heart was excised from rats according to the Langendorff heart preparation method.
Male rats (300 ̃450 g, the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, Experimental Animal Lab) were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection with sodium pentobarbital at a dose of 100 mg/kg and were intravenously administered with heparine at a dose of 1000 U/kg, followed by the excision of the heart. In detail, a tracheotomy was performed and a tracheal cannula (PE 240) was inserted into the trachea for subsequent artificial ventilation with room air using a rodent ventilator. Following thoracotomy, the heart was rapidly excised, mounted on a Langendorff apparatus and perfused via retrograde cannulation of the aorta at a constant perfusion pressure of 85 mmHg using a 37° C. physiological buffer saturated with 95% O2/5% CO2 (modified Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer; composition <mM/L>: 116 NaCl, 4.7 KCl, 1.1, MgSO4, 1.17 KH2PO4, 24.9 NaHCO3, 2.52 CaCl2, 8.32 Glucose, 2.0 Pyruvate).
A catheter tip manometer connected to a latex balloon filled with a mixture of ethanol and distilled water (1:1 v/v) was inserted via an incision in the left atrium into the left ventricle, and the intraventricular pressure thereof transmitted to the latex balloon was measured isovolumetrically with a transducer and recorded on a recording system (Linearcorder mark 8 WR 3500) with the aid of an amplifier (Plugsys bridge amplifier). After stabilizing the heart for 15 min, the balloon volume was adjusted to create a left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) of 5 mmHg during the initial baseline period. The volume of the balloon was maintained until the end of the experiment.
Baseline heart contraction function, spontaneous heart rate (HR) and coronary flow (CF) were determined from the left ventricular contraction interval. The left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), which is regarded as an index of contractile function of the isolated heart, was calculated by subtracting left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) from left ventricular peak systolic pressure (LVSP). In contrast to the heart in the body, the Langendorff heart cannot be measured for cardiac output and thus, RPP (rate-pressure product), which is an important indirect indicator for cardiac performance, was calculated by multiplying heart rate (HR) by LVDP. Throughout the experiment, the temperature of the heart was maintained constant by immmersing the heart in a 37° C. physiological solution to which 95% O2/5% CO2 was continuously supplied. The heart thus stabilized was perfursed for 10 min with a solution of the compounds of the invention or control drugs in DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) diluted with HBS (final DMSO conc. 0.04%), or with the solvent only (a negative control; 0.04% DMSO) and then measured again for contractile function, heart rate (HR) and coronary flow (CF). The supply of perfusates was completely stopped for 30 min in order to induce global ischemia in the heart, followed by reperfusion for 30 min. The indices (LVDP, HR, LVEDP, and CF) were measured again. After the reperfusion, the total level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the reperfusates was measured using a kit and taken as an index of ischemic myocardial injury. A negative control group was treated with the solvent only while cariporide was used as a positive control.
The results were summarized in Table 3, below.

In the isolated ischemia/reperfusion rat heart experiment, as shown in Table 3, the negative control was significantly decreased in contractile function as its RPP (LVDP×HR), an index of the contractile function of the heart, was reduced to as low as 15.5% relative to that before the ischemia induction. The reperfusional LVEDP, which indicates the myocardiac contracture upon ischemia/reperfusion, serving as an index of cardioprotective activity, significantly increased from 5 mgHg to 55.3 mmHg in the negative control. The released lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level upon reperfusion, regarded as an index of cell injury, was measured to be 33.6 u/g.
The group treated with 10 μM of cariporide considerably improved with respect to myocardiac contractile function (LVDP×HR) after the reperfusion, amounting to as large as 69.8% of that before the ischemia induction, as compared with the negative control. The LVEDP of the cariporide-treated group was 22.4 mmHg, which was significantly low relative to that of the negative control, implying that it had a protective effect on the ischemic heart. The level of LDH upon reperfusion was significantly reduced to 19.3 u/g compared with the control.
By the treatment with 10 μM of each of the compounds of Example 1, 32-39, 42, 43, 45 and 47, which showed excellent inhibitory effects on NHE-1 in the cell experiments, significant protective effects against ischemic/reperfusion heart injury were observed. In all indices including heart contracture, LVEDP, and released LDH level, the compounds of Example 32, 34, 39, 42 and 43 were similar to or better than cariporide. Especially, the compounds of Example 39, 42, and 43 represented RPPs of 73.3, 82.3, and 80.6% relative to that before ischemia induction, LVEDPs of 11.3, 6.0, and 5.8 mmHg, and LDH levels of 10.8, 14.7, and 5.2 u/g, respectively, indicating far superior cardioprotective activity against ischemia/reperfusion to that of cariporide.
Therefore, the compounds of the present invention showed excellent protective effects on ischemic hearts by effectively improving the functional recovery of ischemia/reperfusion-induced heart injury, so that they could be effectively used for the prevention and treatment of ischemic heart diseases.
EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 3
Cardioprotective Effect on in vivo Ischemic Rat Heart Model
The cardioprotective effect of the benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives according to the present invention in in vivo ischemic hearts was judged with regard to their antischemic effects (myocardiac infarction reduction) on rats as follows.
Each male rat (300 ̃450 g, the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, Experimental Animal Lab) was anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection with sodium pentobarbital at a dose of 75 mg/kg. Tracheotomy was performed and a tube was inserted into the trachea for subsequent artificial ventilation with a stroke volume of 10 ml/kg and a respiratory rate of 60 breaths/min. The femoral vein and the femoral artery were cannulated for the administration of the compounds and for the measurement of blood pressures, respectively. Meanwhile, the body temperature of the rats, an important factor to influence experimental results in the ischemic myocardiac injury model, was maintained constant at 37° C. using a homeothermic blanket control unit, with a body temperature-monitoring probe inserted into the rectum. Subsequently, rats were continuously measured for mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate HR throughout the experimental time period using a Statham P23XL pressure transducer (Grass Ins., Mass., USA) and an ECG/RATE Coupler (Hugo Sachs Electronic, Germany), respectively, with all continuous changes thereof recorded by Graphtec Linearcorder WR 3310 (Hugo Sachs Electronic).
The left coronary artery was occluded according to Selye H.'s method. In detail, after the chest of each rat was partially opened by left thoracotomy, the middle finger of the left hand was pressed against the right side of the chest of the rat to thrust out the heart which was then slightly fixed with the forefinger and the thumb of the same hand. Then, immediately after the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was sutured with a 5-0 silk ligature, the heart was repositioned back in the thoracic cavity with both ends of the suture positioned outside. The ends of the suture were threaded through a PE tube (PE100, 2.5 cm) and allowed to stand for 20 min for stabilization. Through the cannula inserted into the femoral vein, a vehicle or the compounds of the invention were administered and 30 min was needed for sufficient effects of the administered compounds. Cariporide was used as a control. The ends of the suture threaded through the PE tube were pulled taut with hemostatic forceps to vertically press the PE tube against the coronary artery. After occlusion for 45 min, the hemostatic forceps were removed and reperfusion was conducted for 90 min.
The coronary artery was reoccluded in the same manner as described above, followed by the intravenous injection of 2 ml of 1% Evans blue. The intravenous injection of an excess of pentobarbital killed the rats, from which the hearts were then excised. The left ventricle was removed alone from the isolated heart and transected from the cardiac apex into 5 or 6 slices. Each slice was weighed. The image of each of the heart slices was captured using a Hi-scope, a compact vision system, and analyzed for blue-stained normal areas and non-stained areas with an image analyzing program (Image Pro Plus). In each slice, the area at risk (AAR) was calculated by multiplying the ratio of the non-stained area to the total area of the slice with the weight of the slice. Sum of the individual area at risk (AAR) for each slice was divided by the total weight of the left ventricle to obtain AAR (%) according to the following mathmatical formula 1.

Separately, the heat slices were incubated in 1%. 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), 37° C., for 15 min and fixed in 10% formalin for 20 ̃24 hours. In the normal area of the tissue, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride was reduced by the myocardial dehydrogenase in the presence of the cofactor NADH to form formazan dye, which appeared as a brick-red color. In contrast, infarction areas of the tissue did not appear red because 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride was not reduced due to their lack of the dehydrogenase and the cofactor.
Taking advantage of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, each slice was analyzed to determine normal area and infarct size (IS) in the same manner as in AAR. The sum of the individual infarct sizes for each slice was divided by the total weight of AAR or left ventricle to calculate IS (%) according to the following Mathematical Formula 2. In this experimental model, lower IS (%) reflected smaller infarct sizes, implying more potent anti-ischemic effects of the compounds.

1IS/AAR (infarct size/area at risk)






As is apparent from the data of Table 4, the compounds of the present invention was found to significantly reduce myocardiac infarction rates with regard to area at risk in the in-vivo ischemic myocardiac injury model.
In more detail, the vehicle-administered group had a myocardiac infarction rate relative to area at risk (IS/AAR, %) of as high as 58.6%, suffering from serious myocardiac injury. The positive control cariporide showed significant anti-ischemic activity, as it allowed myocardiac infarction rates to be 40.5% at an injection dose of 0.1 mg/kg and 37.9% at an injection dose of 0.3 mg/Kg.
When compounds of Example 1, 32, 33, 34, 35, 47 and 48 were injected at a dose of 0.1 mg/Kg each, myocardiac infarction rates less than 50% were observed, which were significantly lower than that of the negative control. Particularly, the compound of Example 42, which was evaluated to have excellent inhibitory activity against NHE-1 and highly improve the functional recovery of the isolated ischemic/reperfusional rat heart model, allowed the myocardiac infarction rate to be 36.9% at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg and 34.4% at a dose of 0.3 mg/Kg, demonstrating that it is far superior in terms of cardioprotective activity against ischemia to cariporide.
Therefore, the compounds of the present invention, as demonstrated by the low myocardiac infarction rates in in vivo ischemic heart models, effectively protected the heart from ischemia so that they could be useful for the prevention and treatment of ischemic heart disease such as myocardiac infarction, arrhythmia, angina pectoris, and the like, and are effective as cardioprotective agents for cardiac surgery, such as coronary artery bypass and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty immediately.
EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 4
Neuroprotective Effect
In order to examine whether the benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives of the present invention inhibit the neuronal cell injury and necrosis induced by glutamate, an experiment was conducted as follows.
Cortical neurons were isolated from the brain of 14-day-old fetal rats and cultured in Eagle's MEM (Minimum essential medium) at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. On day 3 or 4 of culturing, 10 μM cytosine-β-arabinofuranoside (AraC) was added to the culture medium to prevent the overgrowth of glial cells. 80% or more of the cells grown in the medium were found to be neurons, as demonstrated by staining with NeuN (neuronal nuclei, specific neuronal markers) and GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein, glial cell markers). On day 7 ̃9 of culturing, the cells were induced to cellular toxicity by treatment with 100 μM glutamate in combination with the compounds of interest or vehicle alone as a negative control. Necrosis was determined by released LDH (Lactate dehydrogenase) levels at 20 hours after glutamate treatment. For the analysis of apoptosis, the count of TUNEL (Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase UTP nick end labeling)-positive cells was measured at 12 hours after glutamate treatment.
The results were summarized in Table 5, below.

As seen in Table 5, the compound of Example 42 inhibited the necrosis and apoptosis of neurons in dose-dependent manners, showing neuroprotective activity against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity.
Therefore, the compounds of the present invention were highly neuroprotective, so that they could be effectively used as neuroprotective agents for cerebral ischemic diseases such as neuronal cell injury or necrosis-induced stroke or trauma.
EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 5
Cerebroprotective Effect on in vivo Ischemic Rat Brain Model
In order to examine whether the benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives of the present invention protect the brain from ischemia-reperfusion-induced cerebral injury, the following experiment was conducted.
Male Sparague-Dawley Rats (350±50 g, Samyook Experimental Animal Lab) were anesthetized and intraperitoneally injected with heparine. After ischemia by the occlusion of the right carotid artery for 60 min, reperfusion was performed for 24 hours. Compounds or a vehicle was intravenously injected at 20 min before the occlusion.
After the perfusion for 24 hours, rats were anesthetized with a fatal dose of sodium pentobarbital. The brains were carefully isolated and transected at intervals of 2 mm. The coronary slices thus obtained were stained at 37° C. for 20 min using a 2% 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride solution. Stained slices were analyzed for % necrosis area relative to total brain area using an image analyzer (BAS image 1500). Also, the cerebroprotective activity of the compounds against brain edema was expressed as % volume of the left hemisphere relative to that of the ischemic right hemisphere.
The results were summarized in Table 6, below.

Having superior cerebroprotective activity against ischemia/reperfusion-induced brain injury, therefore, the compounds of the present invention could be effectively used for the treatment of various diseases caused by ischemic brain injury, such as cerebral stroke.
EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 6
Experiment for Acute Oral Toxicity in Rat
The benzothiophen-2-carbonylguanidine derivatives of the present invention were assayed for acute oral toxicity as follows.
Specific pathogen free (SPF) SD rats 6 weeks old were used for this experiment. Each of the compounds of Examples 1 to 51 was suspended in a 0.5% methylcellulose solution, and the suspensions were orally administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg·ml to respective groups of two rats.
After the oral administration, the rats were observed for death, clinical symptoms, change in body weight, and the like, and subjected to hematological and serobiochemical tests. Autopsy was performed to examine the abnormality of thoracic and abdominal organs with the naked eyes.
Neither particular clinical symptoms nor perished animals were observed. In addition, no acute toxicity was observed in body weight change, haematological test, serobiochemical test, and autopsy examination. These results demonstrated that the compounds tested did not induce toxicity to the dose of 10 mg/kg in rats, and were proven safe with an LD50 of 100 mg/kg or more upon oral administration. Furthermore, the compounds according to the present invention may be formulated in various forms according to the intended purpose.
