FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to chroman compounds and related derivatives that have TRPM8 antagonist properties and are useful in preparing medicaments and compositions and in treating diseases and conditions such as those mediated by TRPM8. The compounds and compositions may be used to treat various diseases or conditions modulated by TRPM8 such as, but not limited to, migraines and neuropathic pain.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cold sensation is derived from activation of the somatosensory system by a cold stimulus. Calcium imaging and patch clamp experiments in dissociated trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia neurons have revealed cold stimuli induced calcium influx, suggesting the direct opening of a calcium-permeable ion channels by cold (Thut et al., 2003; Reid, 2005). A recently cloned non-selective cation channel, TRPM8 (transient receptor potential melastatin 8) or trp-p8 (identified as a prostate-specific gene, up-regulated in prostate cancer and other malignancies, (Tsavaler et al., 2001)) is activated by cold stimulus of 10 to 24° C. temperature (McKemy et al., 2002; Peier et al., 2002). In addition, TRPM8 is also activated by compounds that elicit cool sensation such as menthol, icilin (AG-3-5) (McKemy et al., 2002), and the endogenous lipid PIP2 (Rohacs et al., 2005). Correlating with the cold sensitivity of both A delta and C-fibers, TRPM8 is highly expressed in sensory neurons of the trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia (McKemy et al., 2002; Peier et al., 2002; Thut et al., 2003). TRPM8 is also expressed in nerve fibers innervating urinary bladder in guinea pigs (Tsukimi et al., 2005) and humans (Mukerji et al., 2006) and believed to contribute to the bladder hypersensitivity.
Activation mechanism of TRPM8 by menthol and icilin appears to differ. Icilin requires calcium for robust activation of TRPM8, whereas menthol and cold do not (Chuang et al., 2004). Typically, activation by all these agonists follows a period of calcium-dependent desensitization. The domain swap analysis of chicken and rat TRPM8 and further mutational studies revealed that determinants of icilin sensitivity map to a region of TRPM8 that corresponds to the capsaicin binding site in TRPV1 transmembrane domain 3 to 4 region (Chuang et al., 2004).
Cold allodynia and mechanical hyperalgesia are associated with neuropathic pain in humans and in rodent models of neuropathic and chemotherapy-induced pain. TRPM8 is shown to mediate the analgesia by agonists such as menthol and icilin (by desensitization of the receptor) during experimental neuropathic pain in rodents (Proudfoot et al., 2006). Further, attenuation of cold sensation and cold allodynia after chronic constriction injury model of neuropathic pain in TRPM8 knockout mice (Colburn et al., 2007; Dhaka et al., 2007) suggests that antagonists of TRPM8 may be considered as pain therapeutics for chemotherapy-induced pain, neuropathic pain and bladder disorders.
Mint oil that contains menthol, an agonist of TRPM8 has been reported to alleviate pain in post-herpetic neuralgia (Davies et al., 2002), a neuropathic pain condition. Furthermore, oral or intracerebroventricular injection of menthol decreased nociceptive responses to hot-plate test and acetic acid-induced writhing in mice (Galeotti et al., 2002). These responses are believed to be mediated by the activation and desensitization of the TRPM8. These observations and the knockout mice studies indicate that TRPM8 modulation by antagonists might be beneficial for patients experiencing neuropathic pain.
A need exists for TRPM8 antagonist compounds that can be used to treat diseases and conditions mediated by TRPM8 such as, but not limited to, migraines and neuropathic pain and those other conditions described herein.

“Heterocycle” means a ring comprising at least one carbon atom and at least one other atom selected from N, O and S. Examples of heterocycles that may be found in the claims include, but are not limited to, the following:







“Pharmaceutically-acceptable salt” means a salt prepared by conventional means, and are well known by those skilled in the art. The “pharmacologically acceptable salts” include basic salts of inorganic and organic acids, including but not limited to hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, malic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, mandelic acid and the like. When compounds of the invention include an acidic function such as a carboxy group, then suitable pharmaceutically acceptable cation pairs for the carboxy group are well known to those skilled in the art and include alkaline, alkaline earth, ammonium, quaternary ammonium cations and the like. For additional examples of “pharmacologically acceptable salts,” see infra and Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 66:1 (1977).
“Saturated, partially-saturated or unsaturated” includes substituents saturated with hydrogens, substituents completely unsaturated with hydrogens and substituents partially saturated with hydrogens.
“Leaving group” generally refers to groups readily displaceable by a nucleophile, such as an amine, a thiol or an alcohol nucleophile. Such leaving groups are well known in the art. Examples of such leaving groups include, but are not limited to, N-hydroxysuccinimide, N-hydroxybenzotriazole, halides, triflates, tosylates and the like. Preferred leaving groups are indicated herein where appropriate.
“Protecting group” generally refers to groups well known in the art which are used to prevent selected reactive groups, such as carboxy, amino, hydroxy, mercapto and the like, from undergoing undesired reactions, such as nucleophilic, electrophilic, oxidation, reduction and the like. Preferred protecting groups are indicated herein where appropriate. Examples of amino protecting groups include, but are not limited to, aralkyl, substituted aralkyl, cycloalkenylalkyl and substituted cycloalkenyl alkyl, allyl, substituted allyl, acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aralkoxycarbonyl, silyl and the like. Examples of aralkyl include, but are not limited to, benzyl, ortho-methylbenzyl, trityl and benzhydryl, which can be optionally substituted with halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, nitro, acylamino, acyl and the like, and salts, such as phosphonium and ammonium salts. Examples of aryl groups include phenyl, naphthyl, indanyl, anthracenyl, 9-(9-phenylfluorenyl), phenanthrenyl, durenyl and the like. Examples of cycloalkenylalkyl or substituted cycloalkylenylalkyl radicals, preferably have 6-10 carbon atoms, include, but are not limited to, cyclohexenyl methyl and the like. Suitable acyl, alkoxycarbonyl and aralkoxycarbonyl groups include benzyloxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, iso-butoxycarbonyl, benzoyl, substituted benzoyl, butyryl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, trichloro acetyl, phthaloyl and the like. A mixture of protecting groups can be used to protect the same amino group, such as a primary amino group can be protected by both an aralkyl group and an aralkoxycarbonyl group. Amino protecting groups can also form a heterocyclic ring with the nitrogen to which they are attached, for example, 1,2-bis(methylene)benzene, phthalimidyl, succinimidyl, maleimidyl and the like and where these heterocyclic groups can further include adjoining aryl and cycloalkyl rings. In addition, the heterocyclic groups can be mono-, di- or tri-substituted, such as nitrophthalimidyl. Amino groups may also be protected against undesired reactions, such as oxidation, through the formation of an addition salt, such as hydrochloride, toluenesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid and the like. Many of the amino protecting groups are also suitable for protecting carboxy, hydroxy and mercapto groups. For example, aralkyl groups. Alkyl groups are also suitable groups for protecting hydroxy and mercapto groups, such as tert-butyl.
Silyl protecting groups are silicon atoms optionally substituted by one or more alkyl, aryl and aralkyl groups. Suitable silyl protecting groups include, but are not limited to, trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, triisopropylsilyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, dimethylphenylsilyl, 1,2-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene, 1,2-bis(dimethylsilyl)ethane and diphenylmethylsilyl. Silylation of an amino groups provide mono- or di-silylamino groups. Silylation of aminoalcohol compounds can lead to a N,N,O-trisilyl derivative. Removal of the silyl function from a silyl ether function is readily accomplished by treatment with, for example, a metal hydroxide or ammonium fluoride reagent, either as a discrete reaction step or in situ during a reaction with the alcohol group. Suitable silylating agents are, for example, trimethylsilyl chloride, tert-butyl-dimethylsilyl chloride, phenyldimethylsilyl chloride, diphenylmethyl silyl chloride or their combination products with imidazole or DMF. Methods for silylation of amines and removal of silyl protecting groups are well known to those skilled in the art. Methods of preparation of these amine derivatives from corresponding amino acids, amino acid amides or amino acid esters are also well known to those skilled in the art of organic chemistry including amino acid/amino acid ester or aminoalcohol chemistry.
Protecting groups are removed under conditions which will not affect the remaining portion of the molecule. These methods are well known in the art and include acid hydrolysis, hydrogenolysis and the like. A preferred method involves removal of a protecting group, such as removal of a benzyloxycarbonyl group by hydrogenolysis utilizing palladium on carbon in a suitable solvent system such as an alcohol, acetic acid, and the like or mixtures thereof. A t-butoxycarbonyl protecting group can be removed utilizing an inorganic or organic acid, such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid, in a suitable solvent system, such as dioxane or methylene chloride. The resulting amino salt can readily be neutralized to yield the free amine. Carboxy protecting group, such as methyl, ethyl, benzyl, tert-butyl, 4-methoxyphenylmethyl and the like, can be removed under hydrolysis and hydrogenolysis conditions well known to those skilled in the art.
It should be noted that compounds of the invention may contain groups that may exist in tautomeric forms, such as cyclic and acyclic amidine and guanidine groups, heteroatom substituted heteroaryl groups (Y′═O, S, NR), and the like, which are illustrated in the following examples:




and though one form is named, described, displayed and/or claimed herein, all the tautomeric forms are intended to be inherently included in such name, description, display and/or claim.

Prodrugs of the compounds of this invention are also contemplated by this invention. A prodrug is an active or inactive compound that is modified chemically through in vivo physiological action, such as hydrolysis, metabolism and the like, into a compound of this invention following administration of the prodrug to a patient. The suitability and techniques involved in making and using prodrugs are well known by those skilled in the art. For a general discussion of prodrugs involving esters see Svensson and Tunek Drug Metabolism Reviews 165 (1988) and Bundgaard Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier (1985). Examples of a masked carboxylate anion include a variety of esters, such as alkyl (for example, methyl, ethyl), cycloalkyl (for example, cyclohexyl), aralkyl (for example, benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl), and alkylcarbonyloxyalkyl (for example, pivaloyloxymethyl). Amines have been masked as arylcarbonyloxymethyl substituted derivatives which are cleaved by esterases in vivo releasing the free drug and formaldehyde (Bungaard J. Med. Chem. 2503 (1989)). Also, drugs containing an acidic NH group, such as imidazole, imide, indole and the like, have been masked with N-acyloxymethyl groups (Bundgaard Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier (1985)). Hydroxy groups have been masked as esters and ethers. EP 039,051 (Sloan and Little, Apr. 11, 1981) discloses Mannich-base hydroxamic acid prodrugs, their preparation and use.
The specification and claims contain listing of species using the language like “selected from . . . and . . . ” and “is . . . or . . . ” (sometimes referred to as Markush groups). When this language is used in this application, unless otherwise stated it is meant to include the group as a whole, or any single members thereof, or any subgroups thereof. The use of this language is merely for shorthand purposes and is not meant in any way to limit the removal of individual elements or subgroups as needed.

General Method of Preparation
The compounds described herein are prepared using techniques known to one skilled in the art through the reaction sequences depicted in Schemes 1-4 as well as by other methods. Furthermore, in the following schemes, where specific acids, bases, reagents, coupling agents, solvents, etc. are mentioned, it is understood that other suitable acids, bases, reagents, coupling agents, solvents, etc. may be used and are included within the scope of the present invention.
Amines used for the synthesis of compounds of the present invention were prepared as described in Scheme 1. Ketones of the Formula (1) were treated with aryl or heteroaryl metal halides of Formula (2) at low temperature to give alcohols of the Formula (3). The alcohol of Formula (4) was treated with substituted cyanides (4) and sulfuric acid to give amides of Formula (5). Amides of Formula (5) could be hydrolized with acid or base to give amines of Formula (6c).




An alternative approach to amines of Formula (6c) is shown in Scheme 2. Ketones of the Formula (7) were treated with 2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide and titanium ethoxide in 2-MeTHF to give sulfinimines of the Formula (8). The compounds of Formula (8) were treated with aryl or heteroaryl metal halides of Formula (9) at low temperature to give sulfinamides of the Formula (10). Hydrolysis of sulfinamides (10) with hydrochloric acid in MeOH gives diaryl amines of Formula (6c).




The method described in Scheme 2 can be adapted to a asymmetric syntheses using the appropriate (R)- or (S)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamides to give sulfinimines of the Formula (10a) or (10b). Subsequent aryl metal addition and hydrolysis provides chiral amines of Formula (6a) or (6b).




The coupling reaction of chromanamines of Formula (6a-c) with various carboxylic acids of Formula (11) provides amides of Formula (Ia), and the coupling can be performed as shown in Scheme 4. The coupling reaction can be mediated by a suitable coupling agent such as HATU in the presence of a base in a suitable solvent to afford compounds of the present invention. Alternatively, ureas, carbamates, or sulfonamides, can also be prepared utilizing the appropriate partner and coupling conditions.

To a solution of (S)-4-(3-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-b]pyridin-4-amine hydrochloride, the corresponding carboxylic acid (1.2 eq), and DIPEA (2 eq) in DCM or DMF (1 mL) at room temperature was added an amide coupling reagent such as (HATU, TBTU, or EDCI) (1.2 eq.). The reaction was stirred for 1-16 h at room temperature. The reaction was diluted with DMF (1 mL), filtered through a syringe filter, and then purified by preperative reverse phase HPLC (gradient elution 10-100% MeCN/0.1% TFA in H2O). The product containing fractions were then combined and the solvent removed by lyophilzation to provide the target compound as the TFA salt; or the product was dissolved in MeOH (1 mL) and washed through PL-HCO3 MP-resin and the resin was further washed with MeOH (2×0.4 mL). The combined filtrates were then concentrated and dried in vacuo to give the title compounds as free bases; or the product containing fractions were concentrated, the solids dissolved in DCM and the organic layer extracted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, dried, and concentrated to provide the title compounds as free bases.

1-oxoisoindoline-5-carboxylic acid




Step 1. methyl 4-cyano-2-methylbenzoate. To a stirred solution of methyl 4-bromo-2-methylbenzoate (2 g, 8.7 mmol) in DMF (20 mL), was added CuCN (1.9 g, 12.2 mmol). The reaction was then stirred at 175° C. for 6 h. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC (10% EtOAc in hexanes). The reaction was diluted with EtOAc (10 mL) and filtered through Celite® brand filtering agent. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the material was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 0-50% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the title compound. MS (ESI pos. ion) m/z: 177.1 (MH+).




Step 2. methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-4-cyanobenzoate. To a stirred solution of methyl 4-cyano-2-methylbenzoate (1 g, 5.7 mmol) in CCl4 (30 mL), was added NBS (1.4 g, 6.2 mmol), and catalytic AIBN. The reaction mixture was stirred for 48 h at 80° C. The reaction progress was monitored by TLC (10% EtOAc in hexanes). The reaction was cooled to room temperature and diluted with water (25 mL). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, concentrated, and purified by column chromatography silica (60-120 mesh silica with 80-100% EtOAc in petroleum ether) as eluent to give the title compound as a colorless solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.05 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.78 (s, 1H), 7.6 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 4.9 (s, 2H), 4.0 (s, 3H).




Step 3. 1-oxoisoindoline-5-carbonitrile. To methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-4-cyanobenzoate (0.3 g, 1.18 mmol) in a sealed tube, was added 7N NH3 in MeOH (10 mL). The tube was then sealed and the reaction stirred at 40° C. for 18 h. The reaction progress was monitored by TLC (90% EtOAc in hexanes). The reaction was filtered to give the title compound as a white solid. 1H NMR (400MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 8.95 (s, 1H), 8.1 (s, 1H), 7.9 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.8 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 4.4 (s, 2H).




Step 4. 1-oxoisoindoline-5-carboxylic acid. To a stirred solution of 1-oxoisoindoline-5-carbonitrile (0.15 g, 1.1 mmol) in H2O (0.15 mL), were added H2SO4 (0.15 mL) and AcOH (0.15 mL). The reaction was then stirred at 100° C. for 24 h. The reaction progress was monitored by TLC (80% EtOAc in hexanes). The reaction was diluted with water (25 mL) and the organic layer separated. The aqueous layer was then extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a colorless solid. MS (ESI pos. ion) m/z: 178.2 (MH+).

(S)-4-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-b]pyridin-4-amine hydrochloride




Step 1: (S)-2-methyl-N—((S)-4-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-b]pyridin-4-yl)propane-2-sulfinamide. To a solution of magnesium turnings (0.083 mL, 5.80 mmol) and iodine (10 mg) in 2-MeTHF (6 mL) under N2 at room temperature was slowly added a solution of 2-bromonaphthalene (1.0 g, 4.83 mmol) in 2-MeTHF (4 mL). After addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h. The mixture was cooled to −78° C., and a solution of (S,E)-2-methyl-N-(2H-pyrano[3,2-b]pyridin-4(3H)-ylidene)propane-2-sulfinamide (0.490 g, 1.942 mmol) in 2-MeTHF (3 mL) was added dropwise. The mixture was then stirred at −78° C. for 1 h and at room temperature for 5 h. The mixture was quenched with saturated NH4Cl (1.5 mL). The mixture was then extracted with EtOAc (2×5 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, concentrated, and purified by silica gel column chromatography using ISCO (30-60% EtOAc/hexanes) to give the title compound as a yellow solid. MS (ESI, positive ion) m/z: 381.0 (M+H)




Step 2: (S)-4-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-b]pyridin-4-amine hydrochloride. To a solution of (S)-2-methyl-N—((S)-4-(naphthalen-2-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-b]pyridin-4-yl)propane-2-sulfinamide (45 mg, 0.118 mmol) in EtOH (0.4 mL) was added 4M HCl in 1,4-dioxane (0.059 mL, 0.237 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was concentrated and dried in vacuo to give the title compound, which was used in the next step without further purification. MS (ESI, positive ion) m/z: 277.1 (M+H).

General Amide Formation Procedure for Examples (82-110)
To a solution of intermediate amine hydrochloride, the corresponding carboxylic acid (1.2 eq), and DIPEA (2 eq) in DCM or DMF (1 mL) at room temperature is added an amide coupling reagent such as (HATU, TBTU, or EDCI) (1.2 eq.). The reaction is stirred for 1-24 h at room temperature. The reaction is diluted with DMF (1 mL), filtered through a syringe filter and purified by preperative reverse phase HPLC (gradient elution 10-100% MeCN/0.1% TFA in H2O). The product containing fractions may then be combined and the solvent removed by lyophilzation to provide the target compound as the TFA salt; or the product is dissolved in MeOH (1 mL) and washed through PL-HCO3 MP-resin, the resin is further washed with MeOH (2×0.4 mL). The combined filtrates are then concentrated and dried in vacuo to give the title compounds as the free base; or the product containing fractions are concentrated, the solids dissolved in DCM and the organic layer extracted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, the organic layer are dried, and concentrated to provide the title compounds as the free base.

Stereochemistry
Absolute stereochemistry for Example 2, was determined by comparison of VCD spectra (VCD, Biotools, Inc.) (Stephens, P. J. et. al, Chirality 2008, 20, 643). Comparison of experimental VCD data with ab initio DFT calculations provide for the assigned absolute stereochemistry.
Assays
Luminescence Readout Assay for Measuring Intracellular Calcium.
A stable Chinese hamster ovary cell line expressing human TRPM8 was generated using tetracycline inducible T-RExTM expression system from Invitrogen, Inc. (Carlsbad, Calif.). In order to enable a luminescence readout based on intracellular increase in calcium (Le Poul et al., 2002), the cell line was also co-transfected with pcDNA3.1 plasmid containing jelly fish aequorin cDNA. Twenty four hours before the assay, cells were seeded in 96-well plates and TRPM8 expression was induced with 0.5 μg/ml tetracycline. On the day of the assay, culture media was removed and cells were incubated with assay buffer (Ham's F12 containing 30 mM HEPES) that contained 15 μM coelenterazine (P. J. K, Germany) for 2 h. Potential antagonists were added 2.5 min prior to the addition of agonist, 1 μM icilin, 100 μM L-menthol, or 1 min prior to the addition of cold buffer (<10° C.). The luminescence was measured by a CCD camera based FLASH-luminometer built by Amgen, Inc. A cooling device attached to FLASH luminometer was used for cold activation. Compound activity was calculated using either GraphPad Prism 4.01 (GraphPad Software Inc, San Diego, Calif.) or Genedata Screener.
The following compounds exhibit IC50 values of less than 10 μM in the assay described above with icilin activation. Results are shown in Table 10. The prophetic examples may be tested using the same procedure and will be found to inhibit TRPM8.

Icilin Biochemical Challenge Models
Inhibition of Icilin Induced Jumping in Mice
Example compounds at doses ranging from 0.01 to 10 mg/kg may be administered to male C57BL/6 mice (18-25 g, Taconic, n=10/treatment) 1 h before icilin to assess the ability to block the spontaneous jumps induced by icilin (i.p. suspended in 100% PEG400 at 20 mg/kg, 5 mL/kg). The total number of jumps will be recorded during the 10 min post-icilin administration based on the number of photocell beam breaks from the vertical array of open field boxes (Kinder Scientific) while movement of the mice will be restricted within a clear Plexiglas® cylinder 9.5 cm diameter×30 cm height.
Inhibition of Icilin Induced Shaking in Rats
Example compounds at doses ranging from 0.01 to 3 mg/kg (p.o, suspended in 5% Tween80/Oralplus or suspended in 2% HPMC-1% Tween-80 pH2.2 with MSA, 5 mL/kg) can be administered to male Sprague Dawley rats (200-300 g, Harlan, n=6-8/treatment) 2 h before icilin to assess the ability to block the spontaneous wet-dog shake phenomena induced by icilin (i.p., suspended in 100% PEG400 at 0.5 mg/kg, 1 mL/kg or p.o., suspended in 2% HPMC-1% Tween-80 at 3 mg/kg, 2.5 mL/kg). Spontaneous wet-dog shakes may be counted manually by two blinded observers or using LABORAS automation (Metris) for 30 min post-icilin. The Example synthesized and prophetic compounds may be measured using these procedures and will be found to reduce the spontaneous wet dog shake phenomena indicued by icilin.
Cold Pressor Test (CPT) as a Translatable PD Model for TRPM8
The cold pressor test (CPT) was developed as a method to measure blood pressure response following exposure to a cold stimulus and has been used over 70 years in the diagnosis of hypertension and other cardiac autonomic disorders (Hines and Brown 1936). In healthy human subjects, the CPT is typically performed by immersing a subject's hand into ice water (0-5° C.) which triggers, through a vascular sympathetic activation of afferent pain and temperature neurons, an increase in blood pressure. With some modifications, this test has also been utilized in rat to delineate the medullary and spinal pathways mediating the cardio-vascular responses to cold pressor test and to identify neurotransmitters in these pathways (Sapru N et al 2008) or to characterize analgesic compounds (Koltzenburg M et al 2006 and Player M R et al 2011).
TRPM8 antagonists may be evaluated in rat CPT to determine whether they will attenuate the increase in blood pressure resulting from exposure to cold stimulation of the paws and ventral half of the body. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 350-450 g may be instrumented with a unilateral carotid artery-cannula connected to a transducer for measuring blood pressure using a Digi-Med Blood Pressure Analyzer, Model 400 Animals may then be orally administrated with Vehicle (2% HPMC 1% Tween 80 pH 2.2 with MSA) or test compounds at 120 min prior to cold challenge and anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital at 60 mg/kg ip at 100 min prior to cold. Blood pressure may be recorded for 5 min for pre-cold baseline and additional 5 min during immersion of the paws and ventral half of body in ice water. Percent inhibition attributed to treatment with test compound may then be determined using the following Formula: [1−(cold evoked change in MBP/cold evoked change in MBP post-vehicle)]×100. Plasma may be collected through artery catheter immediately after CPT for pk analysis and IC50/90 determination.

CCI Model


    Surgery—A chronic constriction injury (CCI) can be produced as previously described (Bennett & Xie, 1988). Under gaseous anesthesia with a mixture of isoflurane (3% for induction and 2% for maintenance) in O2, the sciatic nerve can be exposed at the mid-thigh level proximal to the sciatic trifurcation. Four chromic gut ligatures (4-0) can be tied loosely around nerve, 1-2 mm apart such that the vascular supply will not be compromised.
    Behavioral testing—A behavioral test can be performed to estimate cold-induced ongoing pain as previously described (Choi et al., 1994). The rat can be placed under a transparent plastic cover on an aluminum plate (IITC PE34, Woodland, Calif.) which can be kept at a cold temperature (5±0.5° C.). After 2 min of adaptation, the cumulative duration of time that the rat lifts its foot off the plate for the next 5 min can be measured. Foot lifts associated with locomotion or grooming are not counted. Seven to 9 days after the CCI surgery, baseline of the cold-induced ongoing pain can be measured. Any rat showing a cold-induced ongoing pain less than 100 sec out of 300 sec observation period can be eliminated from the study. Twenty four hours after the baseline measurement, test compound, positive control, morphine (2 mg/kg, Sigma, St. Louis) or a vehicle (saline or 2% HPMC/1% Tween 80) can be administered orally (test compound) or subcutaneously (morphine). Two hours (test compound) or 30 mins (morphine) after the drug administration, the cold-induced ongoing pain can be measured again.


Chung Model


    Surgery—Spinal nerve ligation surgery can be performed as previously described (Kim & Chung, 1992). Briefly, under gaseous anesthesia with a mixture of isoflurane (3% for induction and 2% for maintenance) in O2, the spinal nerve injury can be produced by ligating the left L5 and L6 spinal nerves taking special care to avoid any possible damage to the L4 spinal nerve or surrounding area. Additional treatments can be performed to increase the development of mechanical allodynia. First, L5 spinal nerve can be cut approximately 1 mm distal to the suture as described by Li et al. (2000). Second, immediately after ligation and cut, the L4 spinal nerve can be lightly manipulated by slightly stretching it with a fine hooked glass rod and gently sliding the hook back and forth 20 times along the nerve as described by Lee et al. (2003). The whole surgery procedure from anesthesia to the clipping of the incised skin can take at most 15 min.
    Behavioral testing—Two weeks later, mechanical sensitivity can be measured by determining the median 50% foot withdrawal threshold for von Frey filaments using the up-down method (Chaplan et al., 1994). The rats can be placed under a plastic cover (9×9×20 cm) on a metal mesh floor. The area tested consists of the middle glabrous area between the footpads of the plantar surface of the hind paw. The plantar area can be touched with a series of 9 von Frey hairs with approximately exponentially incremental bending forces (von Frey values: 3.61, 3.8, 4.0, 4.2, 4.41, 4.6, 4.8, 5.0 and 5.2; equivalent to: 0.41, 0.63, 1.0, 1.58, 2.51, 4.07, 6.31, 10 and 15.8 g). The von Frey hair can be presented perpendicular to the plantar surface with sufficient force to cause slight bending, and held for approximately 3-4 sec. Abrupt withdrawal of the foot (paw flinching, shaking or licking for more than 1 sec) can be recorded as a response. Any rat showing a mechanical threshold of more than 3.16 g or less than 0.7 g after surgery can be eliminated from the study. After measuring basal threshold, test compound, positive control gabapentin (Sigma, St. Louis) or a vehicle (saline or 2% HPMC/1% Tween 80) can be administered orally (test compound) or intraperitoneally (gabapentin). The measurement of the tactile threshold can be reassessed at 1.5 and 2 h after drug administration.
    Data—Since the von Frey filament set is calibrated on a logarithmic scale by the vendor (Stoelting) and our selection of 9 filaments for the up-down method is also based on near equal logarithmic intervals (Dixon et al., 1980), data can be treated using logarithmic values in every aspect (statistical treatment as well as plotting). However, an equivalent gram value scale is labeled on the Y-axis of the figures for convenience. Data are expressed as mean±standard error of the mean (S.E.M.).

The term parenteral as used herein includes, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal, infusion techniques or intraperitoneally.
Treatment of diseases and disorders herein is intended to also include the prophylactic administration of a compound of the invention, a pharmaceutical salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition of either to a subject (i.e., an animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human) believed to be in need of preventative treatment, such as, for example, pain, inflammation and the like.
The dosage regimen for treating TRPM8-receptor-mediated diseases, cancer, and/or hyperglycemia with the compounds of this invention and/or compositions of this invention is based on a variety of factors, including the type of disease, the age, weight, sex, medical condition of the patient, the severity of the condition, the route of administration, and the particular compound employed. Thus, the dosage regimen may vary widely, but can be determined routinely using standard methods. Dosage levels of the order from about 0.01 mg to 30 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, preferably from about 0.1 mg to 10 mg/kg, more preferably from about 0.25 mg to 1 mg/kg are useful for all methods of use disclosed herein.
The pharmaceutically active compounds of this invention can be processed in accordance with conventional methods of pharmacy to produce medicinal agents for administration to patients, including humans and other mammals.
For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a capsule, a tablet, a suspension, or liquid. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a given amount of the active ingredient. For example, these may contain an amount of active ingredient from about 1 to 2000 mg, preferably from about 1 to 500 mg, more preferably from about 5 to 150 mg. A suitable daily dose for a human or other mammal may vary widely depending on the condition of the patient and other factors, but, once again, can be determined using routine methods.
The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as a composition with suitable carriers including saline, dextrose, or water. The daily parenteral dosage regimen will be from about 0.1 to about 30 mg/kg of total body weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg, and more preferably from about 0.25 mg to 1 mg/kg.
Injectable preparations, such as sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions, may be formulated according to the known are using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.
Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols that are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.
A suitable topical dose of active ingredient of a compound of the invention is 0.1 mg to 150 mg administered one to four, preferably one or two times daily. For topical administration, the active ingredient may comprise from 0.001% to 10% w/w, e.g., from 1% to 2% by weight of the formulation, although it may comprise as much as 10% w/w, but preferably not more than 5% w/w, and more preferably from 0.1% to 1% of the formulation.
Formulations suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations suitable for penetration through the skin (e.g., liniments, lotions, ointments, creams, or pastes) and drops suitable for administration to the eye, ear, or nose.
For administration, the compounds of this invention are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate for the indicated route of administration. The compounds may be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, stearic acid, talc, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, acacia, gelatin, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidine, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and tableted or encapsulated for conventional administration. Alternatively, the compounds of this invention may be dissolved in saline, water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, tragacanth gum, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well known in the pharmaceutical art. The carrier or diluent may include time delay material, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax, or other materials well known in the art.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be made up in a solid form (including granules, powders or suppositories) or in a liquid form (e.g., solutions, suspensions, or emulsions). The pharmaceutical compositions may be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or may contain conventional adjuvants, such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, buffers etc.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration may include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as in normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
Compounds of the present invention can possess one or more asymmetric carbon atoms and are thus capable of existing in the form of optical isomers as well as in the form of racemic or non-racemic mixtures thereof. The optical isomers can be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixtures according to conventional processes, e.g., by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, by treatment with an optically active acid or base. Examples of appropriate acids are tartaric, diacetyltartaric, dibenzoyltartaric, ditoluoyltartaric, and camphorsulfonic acid and then separation of the mixture of diastereoisomers by crystallization followed by liberation of the optically active bases from these salts. A different process for separation of optical isomers involves the use of a chiral chromatography column optimally chosen to maximize the separation of the enantiomers. Still another available method involves synthesis of covalent diastereoisomeric molecules by reacting compounds of the invention with an optically pure acid in an activated form or an optically pure isocyanate. The synthesized diastereoisomers can be separated by conventional means such as chromatography, distillation, crystallization or sublimation, and then hydrolyzed to deliver the enantiomerically pure compound. The optically active compounds of the invention can likewise be obtained by using active starting materials. These isomers may be in the form of a free acid, a free base, an ester or a salt.
Likewise, the compounds of this invention may exist as isomers, that is compounds of the same molecular formula but in which the atoms, relative to one another, are arranged differently. In particular, the alkylene substituents of the compounds of this invention, are normally and preferably arranged and inserted into the molecules as indicated in the definitions for each of these groups, being read from left to right. However, in certain cases, one skilled in the art will appreciate that it is possible to prepare compounds of this invention in which these substituents are reversed in orientation relative to the other atoms in the molecule. That is, the substituent to be inserted may be the same as that noted above except that it is inserted into the molecule in the reverse orientation. One skilled in the art will appreciate that these isomeric forms of the compounds of this invention are to be construed as encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
The compounds of the present invention can be used in the form of salts derived from inorganic or organic acids. The salts include, but are not limited to, the following: acetate, adipate, alginate, citrate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, digluconate, cyclopentanepropionate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, glucoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, fumarate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methansulfonate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, palmoate, pectinate, persulfate, 2-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, tartrate, thiocyanate, tosylate, mesylate, and undecanoate. Also, the basic nitrogen-containing groups can be quaternized with such agents as lower alkyl halides, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chloride, bromides and iodides; dialkyl sulfates like dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, and diamyl sulfates, long chain halides such as decyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides, aralkyl halides like benzyl and phenethyl bromides, and others. Water or oil-soluble or dispersible products are thereby obtained.
Examples of acids that may be employed to from pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include such inorganic acids as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid and such organic acids as oxalic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid and citric acid. Other examples include salts with alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, such as sodium, potassium, calcium or magnesium or with organic bases.
Also encompassed in the scope of the present invention are pharmaceutically acceptable esters of a carboxylic acid or hydroxyl containing group, including a metabolically labile ester or a prodrug form of a compound of this invention. A metabolically labile ester is one which may produce, for example, an increase in blood levels and prolong the efficacy of the corresponding non-esterified form of the compound. A prodrug form is one which is not in an active form of the molecule as administered but which becomes therapeutically active after some in vivo activity or biotransformation, such as metabolism, for example, enzymatic or hydrolytic cleavage. For a general discussion of prodrugs involving esters see Svensson and Tunek Drug Metabolism Reviews 165 (1988) and Bundgaard Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier (1985). Examples of a masked carboxylate anion include a variety of esters, such as alkyl (for example, methyl, ethyl), cycloalkyl (for example, cyclohexyl), aralkyl (for example, benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl), and alkylcarbonyloxyalkyl (for example, pivaloyloxymethyl). Amines have been masked as arylcarbonyloxymethyl substituted derivatives which are cleaved by esterases in vivo releasing the free drug and formaldehyde (Bungaard J. Med. Chem. 2503 (1989)). Also, drugs containing an acidic NH group, such as imidazole, imide, indole and the like, have been masked with N-acyloxymethyl groups (Bundgaard Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier (1985)). Hydroxy groups have been masked as esters and ethers. EP 039,051 (Sloan and Little, Apr. 11, 1981) discloses Mannich-base hydroxamic acid prodrugs, their preparation and use. Esters of a compound of this invention, may include, for example, the methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl esters, as well as other suitable esters formed between an acidic moiety and a hydroxyl containing moiety. Metabolically labile esters, may include, for example, methoxymethyl, ethoxymethyl, iso-propoxymethyl, α-methoxyethyl, groups such as α-((C1-C4)alkyloxy)ethyl, for example, methoxyethyl, ethoxyethyl, propoxyethyl, iso-propoxyethyl, etc.; 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-ylmethyl groups, such as 5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3,dioxolen-4-ylmethyl, etc.; C1-C3 alkylthiomethyl groups, for example, methylthiomethyl, ethylthiomethyl, isopropylthiomethyl, etc.; acyloxymethyl groups, for example, pivaloyloxymethyl, α-acetoxymethyl, etc.; ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl; or α-acyloxy-α-substituted methyl groups, for example α-acetoxyethyl.
Further, the compounds of the invention may exist as crystalline solids which can be crystallized from common solvents such as ethanol, N,N-dimethyl-formamide, water, or the like. Thus, crystalline forms of the compounds of the invention may exist as polymorphs, solvates and/or hydrates of the parent compounds or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. All of such forms likewise are to be construed as falling within the scope of the invention.
While the compounds of the invention can be administered as the sole active pharmaceutical agent, they can also be used in combination with one or more compounds of the invention or other agents. When administered as a combination, the therapeutic agents can be formulated as separate compositions that are given at the same time or different times, or the therapeutic agents can be given as a single composition.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the disclosed compounds. Variations and changes which are obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be within the scope and nature of the invention which are defined in the appended claims.
From the foregoing description, one skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the invention to adapt it to various usages and conditions.
