TECHNICAL FIELD
The present patent application relates to fused ‘pyrimidineone’ compounds with Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 3 (TRPV3) activity.
BACKGROUND
Movement of ions across cellular membranes is carried out by specialized proteins. TRP channels are one large family of non-selective cation channels that function to help regulate ion flux and membrane potential. TRP channels are subdivided into 6 sub-families including the TRPV family. TRPV3 is a member of the TRPV class of TRP channels.
TRPV3 is a calcium permeable nonselective cation channel. In addition to calcium ions, TRPV3 channels are permeable to other cations, for example sodium. Thus, TRPV3 channels modulate membrane potential by modulating the flux of cations such as calcium and sodium ions. TRPV3 receptors are mechanistically distinct from voltage-gated calcium channels. Generally, voltage-gated calcium channels respond to membrane depolarization and open to permit an influx of calcium from the extracellular medium that result in an increase in intracellular calcium levels or concentrations. In contrast, TRP channels which are non-selective, long lasting, produce more prolonged changes in ion concentration and are ligand gated (modulated by chemicals such as 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate [2-APB], vanilloids and heat). These mechanistic differences are accompanied by structural differences among voltage-gated and TRP channels. Thus, although many diverse channels act to regulate ion flux and membrane potential in various cell types and in response to numerous stimuli, it is important to recognize the significant structural, functional, and mechanistic differences among different classes of ion channels.
TRPV3 proteins are thermosensitive channels expressed in skin cells (Peier et al. Science (2002), 296, 2046-2049) and dorsal root ganglion, trigeminal ganglion, spinal cord and brain (Xu et al. Nature (2002), 418, 181-185; Smith et al. Nature (2002), 418, 186-188). In a keratinocyte cell line, stimulation of TRPV3 leads to release of inflammatory mediators including interleukin-1. Thus TRPV3 may also play an important role in regulating inflammation and pain that results from the release of inflammatory stimuli. Particular TRPV3 proteins that may be used in screening assays, as described herein, to identity compounds that modulate a function of TRPV3 include, but are not limited to human TRPV3, mouse TRPV3, rat TRPV3 and Drosophila TRPV3. US2004/0009537 (the '537 application) disclosed sequences corresponding to human, mouse, and Drosophila TRPV3. For example, SEQ ID Nos 106 and 107 of the '537 application correspond to the human nucleic acid and amino acid sequences, respectively. SEQ ID Nos 108 and 109 of the '537 application correspond to the mouse nucleic acid and amino acid sequences, respectively.
TRPV3 function has been basically implicated in the reception and transduction of pain. Accordingly, it would be desirable to identify and make compounds that can modulate one or more functions of TRPV3.
WO 2007/056124, WO 2008/140750 and WO 2008/033564 disclose TRPV3 modulators, in particular antagonists, for treatment of various diseases mediated TRPV3.
In efforts to discover better analgesics, there still exists a need for therapeutic treatment of diseases, conditions and/or disorders modulated by TRPV3.

(Foulis, M. J. et al. J. Med. Chem., (1971), 14, 1075-1077; Kikugawa, Y. et al. Synthesis., (1981), 124-125; Tanaka, K. et al. J. Het. Chem., (1991), 28, 907-911; Kauffman J. M. et al. J. Org. Chem. (2003), 68, 839-853).




According to one embodiment, a compound of formula (I) is prepared by the process described in scheme 1. Amine of a general (1) is converted into compound of formula (3) by reacting with compound of formula (2) (where R′ is H or alkyl), in the presence of suitable solvent e.g. acetic acid, polyphosphoric acid etc. (Allen, C. F. H. et al. J. Org. Chem., (1959), 24, 779-787; Andrew, H. F. et al. J. Het. Chem., (1967), 4, 577-581; Hermecz, I. et al. Synthesis., (1984), 155-158). Halogenation of intermediate of a formula (3) with suitable halogenating agents [e.g., N-Iodosuccinimide (NIS), N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS), Iodine and Ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) etc.] in suitable polar aprotic solvents (e.g., acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran etc.) affords halogenated compound of formula (4) (where L is halogen) which, in turn, subjected to palladium (0) catalyzed C—C coupling (e.g, Suzuki coupling) reactions with appropriate boronic acid of formula (5) gives compound of formula (6). Compound of formula (6) is then converted into compound of general formula (I) by classical modified Knoevenagel reaction with appropriate aldehyde of formula (7) and in the presence of suitable base (e.g. sodium acetate, sodium ethoxide, potassium tert-butoxide, sodium hydride etc.) in suitable polar solvent (e.g, ethanol, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran etc.).

Pharmacological Activity
The illustrative examples of the present invention are screened for TRPV3 activity according to a modified procedure described in Tóth, A., Kedei, N., Wang, Y. and Blumberg, P. M. Life Sciences (2003), 73, 487-498. The screening of the compounds can be carried out by other methods and procedures known to a person skilled in the art. Such screening methods may be found in (a) Hu, H.-Z. et al. J. Biol. Chem. (2004), 279, 35741-35747; (b) Smith, G. D. et al. Nature (2002), 418, 186-190; (c) Peier, A. M. et al. Science (2002), 296, 2046-2049.
Screening for TRPV3 Antagonist Using the 45Calcium Uptake Assay:
The inhibition of TRPV3 receptor activation was followed as inhibition of 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB) induced cellular uptake of radioactive calcium. Test compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to prepare 20 mM stock solution and then diluted using plain medium with DMEM/F-12 containing 1.8 mM CaCl2 to get desired concentration. Final concentration of DMSO in the reaction was 0.5% (v/v). Human TRPV3 expressing CHO cells were grown in DMEM/F-12 medium with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin-streptomycin solution, 400 μg/ml of G-418. Cells were seeded 24 h prior to the assay in 96 well plates so as to get  ̃50,000 cells per well on the day of experiment. Cells were treated with test compounds for 10 minutes followed by addition of 2-APB at a final concentration of 500 μM and 5 μCi/ml 45Ca+2 for 4 minutes. Cells were washed and lysed using buffer containing 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% deoxycholate and 0.1% SDS. Radioactivity in the lysate was measured in Packardt Top count after addition of liquid scintillant. Concentration response curves were plotted as a % of maximal response obtained in the absence of test antagonist. IC50 value was calculated from concentration response curve by nonlinear regression analysis using GraphPad PRISM software.
The compounds prepared were tested using the above assay procedure and the results obtained are given in Table 6. Percentage inhibition at concentrations of 1.0 μM and 10.0 μM are given in the table along with IC50 (nM) values for selected examples.
The IC50 (nM) values of the compounds are set forth in Table 6 wherein “A” refers to an IC50 value of less than 250.0 nM, “B” refers to IC50 value in range of 250.1 to 500.0 nM, “C” refers to an IC50 value in range of 500.1 to 1000 nM and D refers to an IC50 value in range of 1000.1 nM to 10,000 nM. Group of compounds structurally disclosed herein with IC50 of less than 250 nM, less than 500 nM, and less than 1000 nM are separately comtemplated.
