RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present application is a U.S. Non-Provisional Application which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/035,581, filed Aug. 11, 2014, the entirety of which application is hereby incorporated herein by reference.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione derivatives and their use as TRPC5 modulators, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, and methods of using the same as agents for the treatment of TRPC5 receptor mediated disorders or conditions.
BACKGROUND
A variety of ion channel proteins exist to mediate ion flux across cellular membranes. The proper expression and function of ion channel proteins is essential for the maintenance of cell function, intracellular communication, and the like. Numerous diseases are the result of misregulation of membrane potential or aberrant calcium handling. Given the central importance of ion channels in modulating membrane potential and ion flux in cells, identification of agents that can promote or inhibit particular ion channels are of great interest as research tools and as possible therapeutic agents.
Cation channels such as TRPC5 modulate the flux of calcium and sodium ions across cellular membranes. Sodium and calcium influx leads to a depolarization of the cell. This increases the probability that voltage-gated ion channels will reach the threshold required for activation. As a result, activation of non-selective cation channels can increase electrical excitability and increase the frequency of voltage-dependent events. Voltage-dependent events include, but are not limited to, neuronal action potentials, cardiac action potentials, smooth muscle contraction, cardiac muscle contraction, and skeletal muscle contraction.
Calcium influx caused by the activation of non-selective cation channels such as TRPC5 also alters the intracellular free calcium concentration. Calcium is a ubiquitous second messenger molecule within the cell and the alterations in intracellular calcium levels have profound effects on signal transduction and gene expression. Thus, activation of non-selective cation channels such as TRPC5 can lead to changes in gene expression and cellular phenotype. Gene expression events include, but are not limited to, production of mRNAs encoding cell surface receptors, ion channels, and kinases. These changes in gene expression can lead to hyperexcitability in that cell.
Transient receptor potential (TRP) homomeric TRPC5 ion channels are signal transduction gated, Ca2+-permeable channels predominantly expressed in the neurons. TRPC5 forms homomultimeric structures such as tetramers (i.e., TRPC5 homomultimers) and heteromultimeric structures such as tetramers (i.e., TRPC5-TRPC1 heteromultimers). Unless expressly stated otherwise, when the term TRPC5 is used herein, for example, when identifying a modulator of TRPC5 such as a TRPC5 antagonist, the term TRPC5 is used generically so as to include either or both of a TRPC5 homomultimer or a heteromultimer (e.g., TRPC5-TPRC1 or TRPC5-TRPC4 heteromultimer). Examples of TRPC5 in the literature include the following: Nature. 2008 Jan. 3; 451 (7174):69-72; Mol Pharmacol. 2008 January; 73 (1):42-9; J Biol Chem. 2007 Nov. 16; 282 (46):33868-78; Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2008 Jan. 11; 365 (2):239-45; J Biol Chem. 2006 Nov. 3; 281 (44):33487-96; Eur J Pharmacol. 2005 Mar. 14; 510 (3):217-22; J Biol Chem. 2006 Feb. 24; 281 (8):4977-82; Biochem Soc Trans. 2007 February; 35 (Pt 1):101-4; Handb Exp Pharmacol. 2007; (179):109-23; J Biol Chem. 2005 Mar. 25; 280 (12):10997-1006; J Physiol. 2006 Jan. 15; 570 (Pt 2):219-35; and Nat Neurosci. (2003) 6: 837-45.
Modulating the function of TRPC5 proteins provides a means of modulating calcium homeostasis, sodium homeostasis, membrane polarization, and/or intracellular calcium levels, and compounds that can modulate TRPC5 function are useful in many aspects, including, but not limited to, maintaining calcium homeostasis, modulating intracellular calcium levels, modulating membrane polarization, and treating or preventing diseases, disorders, or conditions associated with calcium and/or sodium homeostasis or dyshomeostasis.

In certain embodiments, the compounds of Formula (I) inhibit at least 95% of TRPC5-mediated current or TRPC5-mediated ion flux when administered at 1 micromolar or less.
In another aspect, compounds of Formula (I), which are TRPC5 antagonists, can be used to inhibit a function of TRPC5, for example a TRPC5-mediated current and/or a TRPC5-mediated ion flux. In some embodiments, compounds of Formula (I) can be used to inhibit a TRPC5 mediated current in vitro, for example in cells in culture. In other embodiments, compounds of Formula (I) can be used to inhibit a TRPC5 mediated current in vivo.

The terms “antagonist” and “inhibitor” are used interchangeably to refer to an agent that decreases or suppresses a biological activity, such as to repress an activity of an ion channel, such as TRPC5. TRPC5 ion channels as described herein include homomultimeric and heteromultimeric structures (e.g., homomultimeric TRPC5 and heteromeric TRPC5-TRPC1 or TRPC5-TRPC4). TRPC5 antagonists include inhibitors having any combination of the structural and/or functional properties disclosed herein.
An “effective amount” of, e.g., a TRPC5 antagonist, with respect to the subject methods of inhibition or treatment, refers to an amount of the antagonist in a preparation which, when applied as part of a desired dosage regimen brings about a desired clinical or functional result. Without being bound by theory, an effective amount of a TRPC5 antagonist for use in the methods of the present invention includes an amount of a TRPC5 antagonist effective to decrease one or more in vitro or in vivo function of a TRPC5 channel. Exemplary functions include, but are not limited to, membrane polarization (e.g., an antagonist may promote hyperpolarization of a cell), ion flux, ion concentration in a cell, outward current, and inward current. Compounds that antagonize TRPC5 function include compounds that antagonize an in vitro or in vivo functional activity of TRPC5. When a particular functional activity is only readily observable in an in vitro assay, the ability of a compound to inhibit TRPC5 function in that in vitro assay serves as a reasonable proxy for the activity of that compound. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to inhibit a TRPC5-mediated current and/or the amount sufficient to inhibit TRPC5 mediated ion flux.
The TRPC5 antagonists for use in the methods of the present invention may be characterized according to their activity, or lack of activity, against one or more other ion channels. When other ion channels are referred to, inhibition of a function of such other ion channels is defined similarly. For example, inhibition of an ion channel or an activity of an ion channel means the antagonist inhibits one or more functional activities of the other ion channel. Such functions include the current mediated by the particular ion channel, ion flux, or membrane polarization.
The term “preventing” is art-recognized, and when used in relation to a condition, such as a local recurrence, a disease such as cancer, a syndrome complex such as heart failure or any other medical condition, is well understood in the art, and includes administration of a composition which reduces the frequency of, or delays the onset of, symptoms of a medical condition in a subject relative to a subject which does not receive the composition. Thus, prevention of cancer includes, for example, reducing the number of detectable cancerous growths in a population of patients receiving a prophylactic treatment relative to an untreated control population, and/or delaying the appearance of detectable cancerous growths in a treated population versus an untreated control population, e.g., by a statistically and/or clinically significant amount. Prevention of an infection includes, for example, reducing the number of diagnoses of the infection in a treated population versus an untreated control population, and/or delaying the onset of symptoms of the infection in a treated population versus an untreated control population. Prevention of pain includes, for example, reducing the magnitude of, or alternatively delaying, pain sensations experienced by subjects in a treated population versus an untreated control population.

The terms “TRPC5”, “TRPC5 protein”, and “TRPC5 channel” are used interchangeably throughout the application. Unless expressly stated, the term TRPC5 includes homomultimeric structures (e.g., homomultimeric TRPC5) and heteromultimeric structures (e.g., heteromultimeric TRPC5-TRPC1).
The term “oxidative metabolite” is intended to encompass compounds that are produced by metabolism of the parent compound under normal physiological conditions. Specifically, an oxidative metabolite is formed by oxidation of the parent compound during metabolism. For example, a thioether group may be oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxide or sulfone.
The term “solvate” as used herein, refers to a compound formed by solvation (e.g., a compound formed by the combination of solvent molecules with molecules or ions of the solute).
The term “hydrate” as used herein, refers to a compound formed by the union of water with the parent compound.
The term “treating” includes prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatments. The term “prophylactic or therapeutic” treatment is art-recognized and includes administration to the host of one or more of the subject compositions. If it is administered prior to clinical manifestation of the unwanted condition (e.g., disease or other unwanted state of the host animal) then the treatment is prophylactic, (i.e., it protects the host against developing the unwanted condition), whereas if it is administered after manifestation of the unwanted condition, the treatment is therapeutic, (i.e., it is intended to diminish, ameliorate, or stabilize the existing unwanted condition or side effects thereof).
Contemplated equivalents of the compounds described above include compounds which otherwise correspond thereto, and which have the same general properties thereof (e.g., the ability to antagonize TRPC5 activity), wherein one or more simple variations of substituents are made which do not adversely affect the efficacy of the compound. In general, the compound of the present invention may be prepared by the methods illustrated in the general reaction schemes as, for example, described below, or by modifications thereof, using readily available starting materials, reagents and conventional synthesis procedures. In these reactions, it is also possible to make use of variants which are in themselves known, but are not mentioned here.
For purposes of this invention, the chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 67th Ed., 1986-87, inside cover. Also for purposes of this invention, the term “hydrocarbon” is contemplated to include all permissible compounds having at least one hydrogen and one carbon atom. In a broad aspect, the permissible hydrocarbons include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic organic compounds which can be substituted or unsubstituted.
The compounds described herein can be asymmetric (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). All stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended unless otherwise indicated. Compounds of the present invention that contain asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Methods on how to prepare optically active forms from optically active starting materials are known in the art, such as by resolution of racemic mixtures or by stereoselective synthesis. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present invention are described and may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms.
Resolution of racemic mixtures of compounds can be carried out by any of numerous methods known in the art. An example method includes fractional recrystallizaion using a “chiral resolving acid” which is an optically active, salt-forming organic acid. Suitable resolving agents for fractional recrystallization methods are, for example, optically active acids, such as the D and L forms of tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, lactic acid or the various optically active camphorsulfonic acids such as β-camphorsulfonic acid. Other resolving agents suitable for fractional crystallization methods include stereoisomerically pure forms of α-methylbenzylamine (e.g., S and R forms, or diastereomerically pure forms), 2-phenylglycinol, norephedrine, ephedrine, N-methylephedrine, cyclohexylethylamine, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, and the like.
Resolution of racemic mixtures can also be carried out by elution on a column packed with an optically active resolving agent (e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine). Suitable elution solvent composition can be determined by one skilled in the art. Compounds of the invention also include tautomeric forms, such as keto-enol tautomers.
Compounds of the invention can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” includes salts of a compound of Formula (I) which are prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases. Base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of a compound of Formula (I) with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salt, or a similar salt. Acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of a compound of Formula (I) with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived from relatively nontoxic organic acids like acetic, trifluoroacetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, lactic, mandelic, phthalic, benzensulfonic, p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like.

The neutral forms of a compound of Formula (I) is preferably regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present invention.
The term “low enough pyrogen activity”, with reference to a pharmaceutical preparation, refers to a preparation that does not contain a pyrogen in an amount that would lead to an adverse effect (e.g., irritation, fever, inflammation, diarrhea, respiratory distress, endotoxic shock, etc.) in a subject to which the preparation has been administered. For example, the term is meant to encompass preparations that are free of, or substantially free of, an endotoxin such as, for example, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

To further illustrate, additional exemplary indications for which a compound of Formula (I) can be used include oral pain, pelvic pain, Fabry's disease, complex regional pain syndrome, pancreatitis, and fibromyalgia syndrome.
A compound of Formula (I) may also be used in connection with prevention or treatment of sensitivity to pain and touch. Pain or sensitivity to pain and touch may be indicated in a variety of diseases, disorders or conditions, including, but not limited to, diabetic neuropathy, breast pain, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, burn, post-herpetic neuralgia (shingles), nociceptive pain, peripheral neuropathic and central neuropathic pain, chronic pain, cancer and tumor pain, spinal cord injury, crush injury and trauma induced pain, migraine, cerebrovascular and vascular pain, sickle cell disease pain, rheumatoid arthritis pain, musculoskeletal pain including treating signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, orofacial and facial pain, including dental, temperomandibular disorder, and cancer related, lower back or pelvic pain, surgical incision related pain, inflammatory and non-inflammatory pain, visceral pain, psychogenic pain and soft tissue inflammatory pain, fibromyalgia-related pain, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and pain resulting from kidney stones or urinary tract infection.
The foregoing are merely exemplary of diseases and conditions that cause or lead to inflammation, lesions, ulcers, or other sources of oral pain. In other embodiments, the oral pain is due to an injury to the mouth, jaw, lips, gums, or teeth. In other embodiments, the oral pain is due to oral surgery, for example, surgery for cancer, tooth extraction, or jaw remodeling. Other conditions that may lead to oral ulcers, and thus oral pain, include, but are not limited to chickpox, herpes zoster, infectious mononucleosis, syphilis, tuberculosis, acute necrotizing gingivitis, and burning mouth syndrome.
Fibromyalgia (FMS; fibromyalgia syndrome) is a widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder. Fibromyalgia is characterized by pain in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The condition affects more women than men, and occurs in people of all ages. Overall, FMS is estimated to afflict 3-6% of the population. Patients have described the pain associated with fibromylagia as deep muscular aching, throbbing, shooting, and stabbing. The pain sometimes includes an intense burning sensation. The pain and stiffness are often worse in the morning or after repetitive use of a particular muscle group.
Additionally, varying levels of fatigue ranging from mild to incapacitating are often associated with fibromylagia. Other symptoms of fibromylagia include gastrointestinal symptoms. Irritable bowel syndrome and IBS-like symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, frequent abdominal pain, abdominal gas, and nausea occur in roughly 40 to 70% of FMS patients. Acid reflux or gastroesophogeal reflux disease (GERD) occurs at a similar frequency.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS; also known as chronic regional pain syndrome) is a chronic pain condition. CRPS was formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). CRPS is a chronic, painful, and progressive neurological condition that affects skin, muscles, joints, and bones. The syndrome usually develops in an injured limb, such as a broken leg or following surgery. However, many cases involve only a minor injury, such as a sprain, and sometimes no precipitating injurious event can be identified. CRPS involves continuous, intense pain that is disproportionate to the severity of the injury. The pain worsens, rather than improves, over time.
Although CRPS can affect a variety of regions of the body, it most often affects the arms, legs, hands, or feet. Often the pain begins in one portion of a limb, but spreads over time to include the entire limb or even to include a different limb. Typical features include dramatic changes in the color and temperature of the skin over the affected limb or body part, accompanied by intense burning pain, skin sensitivity, sweating, and swelling.
The compounds disclosed herein can also be used to treat endometriosis and the pain associated therewith.
Neurological or Neurodegenerative Diseases and Disorders
Neurodegenerative diseases and disorders include but are not limited to Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and other brain disorders caused by trauma or other insults including aging.
Mechanisms associated with calcium signaling may be altered in many neurodegenerative diseases and in disorders resulting from brain injury. For example, fibroblasts or T-lymphocytes from patients with AD have consistently displayed an increase in Ca2+ release from intracellular stores compared to controls (Ito et al. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 91:534-538; Gibson et al. (1996) Biochem. Biophys. ACTA 1316:71-77; Etchenberrigaray et al. (1998) Neurobiology of Disease, 5:37-45). Consistent with these observations, mutations in presenilin genes (PS1 or PS2) associated with familial AD (FAD) have been shown to increase InsP3-mediated Ca2+ release from internal stores (Guo et al. (1996) Neuro Report, 8:379-383; Leissring et al. (1999) J. Neurochemistry, 72:1061-1068; Leissring et al. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274 (46):32535-32538; Leissring et al. (2000) J. Cell Biol. 149 (4):793-797; Leissring et al. (2000) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 97 (15):8590-8593). Furthermore, mutations in PS1 or PS2 associated with an increase in amyloidogenic amyloid β peptide generation in AD are reported to be associated with a decrease in intracellular calcium level (Yoo et al. (2000) Neuron, 27 (3):561-572).
Experimental traumatic brain injury has been shown to initiate massive disturbances in Ca2+ concentrations in the brain that may contribute to further neuronal damage. Intracellular Ca2+ may be elevated by many different ion channels. It has been further shown that channel blockers may be beneficial in the treatment of neurological motor dysfunction when administered in the acute posttraumatic period (Cheney et al. (2000) J. Neurotrauma, 17 (1):83-91).
Seizure
Excitotoxicity of a variety of origins leads to seizures. Commonly excess neuronal firing can drive seizure activity. Compounds that reduce the hyperexcitability of relevant neuronal populations have significant potential in reducing seizure activity.
Proteinuric Kidney Disease
TRPC5 is also expressed in the podocyte of the kidney. It has been proposed that there is an antagonistic regulation of actin dynamics and cell in the podocytes by TRPC5 and TRPC6 (Tian et al., (2010) Science Signaling). Thus, inhibiting TRPC5 may impact the reaction of the podocyte to injury.
Combination Therapy
The present invention provides a compound of Formula (I) for use in vitro and in vivo. The present invention also provides compositions and pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula (I) that inhibits TRPC5 activity. In certain embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) is selective.

Preferred analgesics are non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and opioids (preferably morphine).
In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) can be administered in conjunction with a therapeutic whose administration causes pain. For example, a compound of Formula (I) can be administered in conjunction with an anesthetic, to reduce the pain caused by the administration of the anaesthetic. A compound of Formula (I) can also be administered in conjunction with a chemotherapeutic agent, to reduce the pain caused by administration of the chemotherapeutic agent.

The actual pharmaceutically effective amount or therapeutic dosage will of course depend on factors known by those skilled in the art such as age and weight of the patient, route of administration and severity of disease. In any case the combination will be administered at dosages and in a manner which allows a pharmaceutically effective amount to be delivered based upon patient's unique condition.
Disease and Injury Models
A compound of Formula (I) which antagonizes TRPC5 function may be useful in the prophylaxis and treatment of any of the foregoing injuries, diseases, disorders, or conditions. In addition to in vitro assays of the activity of the compound of Formula (I), its efficacy can be readily tested in one or more animal models. By way of example, numerous well known animal models exist. One or more suitable animal models (e.g., suitable in light of the particular indication) can be selected.
Fear-related behaviors can be measured as described, e.g., in Riccio et al. Pain behaviors can be studied using various agents or procedures to simulate pain resulting from injuries, diseases, or other conditions. Blackburn-Munro (2004) Trends in Pharmacological Sciences 25: 299-305. Behavioral characteristics of challenged animals can then be observed. Compounds or procedures that may reduce pain in the animals can be readily tested by observing behavioral characteristics of challenged animals in the presence versus the absence of the test compound(s) or procedure.
Exemplary behavioral tests used to study chronic pain include tests of spontaneous pain, allodynia, and hyperalgesia. Id. To assess spontaneous pain, posture, gait, nocifensive signs (e.g., paw licking, excessive grooming, excessive exploratory behavior, guarding of the injured body part, and self-mutilation) can be observed. To measure evoked pain, behavioral responses can be examined following exposure to heat (e.g., thermal injury model).
Exemplary animal models of pain include, but are not limited to, the Chung model, the carageenan induced hyperalgesia model, the Freund's complete adjuvant induced hyperalgesia model, the thermal injury model, the formalin model and the Bennett Model. The Chung model of neuropathic pain (without inflammation) involves ligating one or more spinal nerves. Chung et al. (2004) Methods Mol Med 99: 35-45; Kim and Chung (1992) Pain 50: 355-363. Ligation of the spinal nerves results in a variety of behavioral changes in the animals including heat hyperalgesia, cold allodynia, and ongoing pain. Compounds that antagonize TRPC5 can be administered to ligated animals to assess whether they diminish these ligation-induced behavioral changes in comparison to that observed in the absence of compound.
Useful anxiety and depression models include the maternal separation model, the elevated plus-maze model, the forced swim test, the tail suspension test, the light/dark preference model, the light-enhanced startle model, and the ultrasonic vocalization model.
Useful seizure models include but are not limited to maximal electric shock (MES), acoustic startle in susceptible animals (e.g., DBA mice), and chemical induced seizure (with proconvulsant compounds such as pilocarpine, pentalene tetrazole, kainic acid, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid).
Useful models of kidney function include the LPS-induced proteinuria (waiting for a reference for others).
EXAMPLES
Example 1
High Throughput Screening Assay
The assay depended on detection of the rise in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) following channel activation in cells inducibly expressing the TRPC5 channel. Ca2+ rise was quantified with the use of fluorescent Ca2+ indicators that were loaded into cells and thereafter indicated the [Ca2+]i Ca2+ influx followed activation of the TRPC5 channel. Compounds inhibiting the [Ca2+]i rise were considered hits for further investigation.
The commercially available HEK293/TREx line (Invitrogen) was stably transfected with a TRPC5 construct and screened by conventional calcium imaging to find clones with TRPC5 expression following stimulation with 1 μg/ml tetracycline. These cells were maintained in the growth medium recommended by the manufacturer supplemented with 100 μg/ml hygromycin to promote retention of the TRPC5 construct. After growing to near confluency, cells were plated at a density of  ̃35,000 cells/well in 384 well CellBind plates (Corning) in the presence of 1 μg/ml tetracycline, and allowed to grow for 20-30 hrs. A nearly confluent monolayer resulted. Cells were then loaded with Ca2+ dye: Fura-2/AM or Fluo4/AM was added to the wells to a final concentration of 4 μM or 0.5 μM, respectively, and incubated for 80 min or 60 min, respectively, at room temperature. Supernatant was then removed from the cells by inverting plates with a sharp flick, and 25 μl Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS; 0.185 g/l D-glucose, 0.9767 g/l MgS04 (anhydrous), 0.4 g/l KCl, 0.06 g/l KH2PO4 (anhydrous), 0.35 g/l NaHCO3, 8.0 g/l NaCl, and 0.04788 g/l Na2HPO4 (anhydrous); pH 7.4) was then added to each well. Following  ̃0.5 hour for recovery from loading, cells were assayed using the Hamamatsu FDSS 6000 system, which permitted illumination alternately at 340 nm and 380 nm for Fura-2 experiments, or at 485 nm for Fluo4 experiments. Frames were acquired at a rate of 0.2 Hz. During the assay, the plates were continuously vortexed, with pipette mixing of wells following addition of each reagent. For the screening assay, 26 μl of a diluted compound stock (at 50 μM) was added to each well for 2 minutes following the collection of a short (4 frame) baseline. 13 μl 62 mM high-Ca2+Ringer solution (4.17 ml of normal ringer (with 2 mM Ca2+) plus 5.83 ml of isotonic calcium ringer (105 mM Ca2+; in this ringer all sodium has been replaced with calcium)) was then added to each well, achieving a final concentration of 14 mM Ca2+ and 10 μM test compound. Data was collected for  ̃3 minutes following addition of high Ca2+Ringer, where the fluorescent intensity (for Fluo4) and the F340/F380 ratio (for Fura-2) were proportional to the [Ca2+]i Negative controls consisted of HEK293/TREx TRPC5 cells exposed to high Ca2+ solution, but no compound. Positive control conditions consisted of addition of 2-APB, a promiscuous blocker of TRPC5 and other channels, to columns 23 and 24 of the plates, to a final concentration of 200 μM. These controls defined a screening window, and “hits” were defined as those compounds inhibiting the fluorescence response by at least 40%. IC50 values were determined for compounds defined as “hits.” The Fluo4 cell-based fluorescence assay was used to determine the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in the presence of varying drug concentration. Final concentrations of compounds tested were 20 μM, 6.667 μM, 2.222 μM, 0.741 μM, 0.247 μM, 0.082 μM, and 0.027 μM. Compounds were tested in triplicate at all concentrations. Standard software was used to fit IC50 curves. A value of NF was assigned when no IC50 curves could not be fit.
Additionally or alternatively, efficacy can be represented as % inhibition in the presence (of a given concentration of compound) versus the absence of compound or in comparison to a control compound. For example, efficacy can be represented as % inhibition of ion flux in the presence versus the absence of compound. Exemplary compounds are shown in Table 2 below.

Example 2
Patch Clamp Experiments
Patch clamp experiments permit the detection of currents through the TRPC5 channel in the cell line described above. In normal whole-cell patch clamp recordings, a glass electrode is brought into contact with a single cell and a high-resistance (gigaohm) seal is established with the cell membrane. The membrane is then ruptured to achieve the whole-cell configuration, permitting control of the voltage of the cell membrane and measurement of currents flowing across the membrane using the amplifier attached to the electrode and resulting in the replacement of cytoplasm with the pipette solution. A perfusion system permits control of the extracellular solution, including the addition of blockers and activators of the current. The current can be activated by including 1.4 μM free Ca2+ in the pipette (intracellular) solution, and 80 μM LaCl3 in the extracellular solution.
TRPC5 cells were induced 20-48 hours, removed from growth plates, and replated at low density (to attain good single-cell physical separation) on glass coverslips for measurement. In some cases, cells were grown in low density overnight on glass coverslips. Patch clamp recordings were made in the whole-cell mode with a holding potential of −40 mV. Every 5 seconds, a voltage ramp was applied from −120 to +100 mV, 400 ms in duration. Currents elicited were quantified at −80 mV and +80 mV. The internal solution consisted of 140 mM cesium aspartate, 10 mM HEDTA, 2 mM CaCl2, 2.27 mM MgCl2 and 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, with 1,400 nM calculated free Ca2+. The external solution consisted of 150 mM NaCl, 4.5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CaCl2, 10 mM HEPES, 10 mM glucose, 1 mM EGTA, pH 7.4. Upon addition of LaCl3, TRPC5 current was induced only in TRPC5-expressing cells and not in parental HEK293 TREx cells. Removal of the LaCl3 stimulus causes most of the current to go away. Potential blockers were tested for ability to block both inward and outward currents in the continued presence of LaCl3.
IC50 of a compound of Formula (I) was estimated by testing the compound at 5 μM and 500 nM. When 5 μM of a compound showed no block, IC50 was estimated as >10 μM. When 5 μM of a compound showed 50% or less block, a rough estimate of IC50 in the range of 5-10 μM could be made. IC50 for a compound of Formula (I) between 500 nM and 5 μM was similarly estimated. Exemplary compounds are shown in Table 3 below.

General Experimental Procedures
General Procedures
All reagents were purchased from commercial suppliers and used without further purification unless otherwise stated. Reactions were monitored via thin layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel plates and visualized using UV light (254 nm or 365 nm) and/or staining with a solution of DNP (12 g of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine dissolved in H2SO4 (60 mL), water (80 mL) and ETOH (200 mL) and subsequent heating or monitored by LCMS. Preparative TLC plates used were Analtech Uniplate Silica Gel GF plates or Shanghia SANPONT PLC plate SGF254 20×20 cm size and 2000 um thickness.
All reactions were run under an inert atmosphere using either argon or nitrogen. All non-aqueous reactions were run using anhydrous solvents. All reactions were stirred either with a magnetic stir bar or with overhead mechanical stirring. All saturated extraction solutions are assumed to be aqueous (NH4Cl for example). All drying agents are anhydrous. Drying organic solutions with a drying agent implies that the drying agent was removed from the organic solution by filtration. Chromatography refers to column chromatography on silica gel. Concentration of reaction mixtures implies concentration under reduced pressure using of a Rotary Evaporation instrument. Drying of final products implies drying under high vacuum conditions. (MW) means using a microwave instrument with reaction carried out in a sealed microwave vial. Microwave reactions were carried out using a Biotage Smith Synthesizer.
LCMS were performed on a SHIMADZU LCMS-2010EV instrument using one of two sets of conditions. LCMS conditions one: (Chromolith SdeedROP, RP-18e column. 50×4.6 mm. mobile phase: Solvent A: CH3CN/H2O/HCOOH=10/90/0.05. Solvent B: CH3CN/H2O/HCOOH=90/10/0.05, 0.8 min @ 10% B. 2.7 min gradient (10-95% B), then 0.8 min @95% B. Flow rate: 3 mL/min. temperature: 40° C.). LCMS conditions two: (Zorbax. 3.5 micron. 2.1×50 mm C18 column. Mobile phase: Solvent A: 0.1% HCOOH/CH3CN. Solvent B: 0.1% HCOOH/H2O. Gradient 5% to 95% B using a 5 min or 8 min runtime.
Preparative HPLC was performed either on a SHIMADZU LC-8A instrument. (Column: YMC Pack ODS-A (150*30 mm 10 um)) or LC-6AD (column: Shim=Pack PREP-ODS-H (250*20 mm, 10 um)) with UV detection which was controlled by LC solution Chemstation software. H2O (0.1% HCOOH) and methanol (CH3OH) as mobile phase at the indicated flow rate.
Analytical HPLC was performed on a SHIMADZU LCMS-2010EV (Chromolith SpeedROD, RP-18e, 50×4.6 mm, mobile phase: Solvent A: CH3CN/H2O/HCOOH=10/90/0.05, Solvent B: CH3CN/H2O/HCOOH=90/10/0.05, 0.8 min@ 10% B, 2.7 min gradient (10-95% B), then 0.8 min@95% B, Flow rate: 3 mL/min, temperature: 40° C.
1H NMR spectra were recorded on either a Bruker Avance II 400 MHz or a Varian Unity Inova 400 MHz instrument. Chemical shifts (δ) are reported in ppm relative to tetramethylsilane (δ=0.00 ppm) and the spectra were calibrated to the residual solvent signal of Chloroform (δ=7.26). Dimethyl sulfoxide (δ=2.52), methanol (δ=3.34). Data for 1H NMR spectra are reported as follows: chemical shift (multiplicity, J value, number of hydrogens). Abbreviations are as follows: s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), td (doublet of triplets) q (quartet), quint (quintet), m (multiplet), brd (broad).
