## Background
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/484,500, filed on May 10, 2011 and 61/503,543, filed on Jun. 30, 2011, the entirety of which are incorporated herein by reference.


FIELD
The present disclosure relates to novel compounds and to their use in the treatment of various diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The disclosure also relates to methods for preparation of the compounds and to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds.
BACKGROUND
The late sodium current (INaL) is a sustained component of the fast Na+ current of cardiac myocytes and neurons. Many common neurological and cardiac conditions are associated with abnormal INaL enhancement, which contributes to the pathogenesis of both electrical and contactile dysfunction in mammals. See, for example, Pathophysiology and Pharmacology of the Cardiac “Late Sodium Current”, Pharmacology and Therapeutics 119 (2008) 326-339. Accordingly, compounds that selectively inhibit INaL in mammals are useful in treating such disease states.
One example of a selective inhibitor of INaL is RANEXA®, a compound approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris. RANEXA® has also been shown to be useful for the treatment of a variety of cardiovascular diseases, including ischemia, reperfusion injury, arrhythmia, unstable angina, and diabetes. It would be desirable to provide novel compounds that selectively inhibit INaL in mammals and that have the same selectivity over peak INa inhibition as RANEXA®.
SUMMARY

Where a given group (moiety) is described herein as being attached to a second group and the site of attachment is not explicit, the given group may be attached at any available site of the given group to any available site of the second group. For example, a “lower alkyl-substituted phenyl”, where the attachment sites are not explicit, may have any available site of the lower alkyl group attached to any available site of the phenyl group. In this regard, an “available site” is a site of the group at which a hydrogen of the group may be replaced with a substituent.
It is understood that in all substituted groups defined above, polymers arrived at by defining substituents with further substituents to themselves (e.g., substituted aryl having a substituted aryl group as a substituent which is itself substituted with a substituted aryl group, etc.) are not intended for inclusion herein. Also not included are infinite numbers of substituents, whether the substituents are the same or different. In such cases, the maximum number of such substituents is three. Each of the above definitions is thus constrained by a limitation that, for example, substituted aryl groups are limited to-substituted aryl-(substituted aryl)-substituted aryl.
A compound of a given formula (e.g. the compound of Formula I, which also includes Formulas II, III, IV, V, VI, IA, IB, IC, ID, IIA, IIIA, IVA, IVB, VA, VIA, VIIA, VIIIA and IXA) is intended to encompass the compounds of the disclosure, and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable esters, isomers, tautomers, solvates, isotopes, hydrates, polymorphs, and prodrugs of such compounds. Additionally, the compounds of the disclosure may possess one or more asymmetric centers, and can be produced as a racemic mixture or as individual enantiomers or diastereoisomers. The number of stereoisomers present in any given compound of a given formula depends upon the number of asymmetric centers present (there are 2n stereoisomers possible where n is the number of asymmetric centers). The individual stereoisomers may be obtained by resolving a racemic or non-racemic mixture of an intermediate at some appropriate stage of the synthesis or by resolution of the compound by conventional means. The individual stereoisomers (including individual enantiomers and diastereoisomers) as well as racemic and non-racemic mixtures of stereoisomers are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure, all of which are intended to be depicted by the structures of this specification unless otherwise specifically indicated.
“Isomers” are different compounds that have the same molecular formula. Isomers include stereoisomers, enantiomers and diastereomers.
“Stereoisomers” are isomers that differ only in the way the atoms are arranged in space.
“Enantiomers” are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a “racemic” mixture. The term “(±)” is used to designate a racemic mixture where appropriate.
“Diastereoisomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other.
The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn Ingold Prelog R S system. When the compound is a pure enantiomer the stereochemistry at each chiral carbon may be specified by either R or S. Resolved compounds whose absolute configuration is unknown are designated (+) or (−) depending on the direction (dextro- or laevorotary) that they rotate the plane of polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line.
Some of the compounds exist as tautomeric isomers. Tautomeric isomers are in equilibrium with one another. For example, amide containing compounds may exist in equilibrium with imidic acid tautomers. Regardless of which tautomer is shown, and regardless of the nature of the equilibrium among tautomers, the compounds are understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to comprise both amide and imidic acid tautomers. Thus, the amide containing compounds are understood to include their imidic acid tautomers. Likewise, the imidic acid containing compounds are understood to include their amide tautomers. Non-limiting examples of amide-comprising and imidic acid-comprising tautomers are shown below:




The term “polymorph” refers to different crystal structures of a crystalline compound. The different polymorphs may result from differences in crystal packing (packing polymorphism) or differences in packing between different conformers of the same molecule (conformational polymorphism).

The term “hydrate” refers to the complex formed by the combining of a compound of Formula I, or any formula disclosed herein, and water.
The term “prodrug” refers to compounds of Formula I, or any formula disclosed herein, that include a chemical groups which, in vivo, can be converted and/or can be split off from the remainder of the molecule to provide for the active drug, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a biologically active metabolite thereof.
Any formula or structure given herein, including Formula I, or any formula disclosed herein, is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as, but not limited to 2H (deuterium, D), 3H (tritium), 11C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18F 31P, 32P, 35S, 36Cl and 125I. Various isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H, 13C and 14C are incorporated. Such isotopically labelled compounds may be useful in metabolic studies, reaction kinetic studies, detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays or in radioactive treatment of patients.
The disclosure also included compounds of Formula I, or any formula disclosed herein, in which from 1 to “n” hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is/are replaced by deuterium, in which n is the number of hydrogens in the molecule. Such compounds exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and are thus useful for increasing the half life of any compound of Formula I when administered to a mammal. See, for example, Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism”, Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium.
Deuterium labelled or substituted therapeutic compounds of the disclosure may have improved DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics) properties, relating to absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. An 18F labeled compound may be useful for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically labeled compounds of this disclosure and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes, particularly deuterium (i.e., 2H or D) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements or an improvement in therapeutic index. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent in the compound of the Formula I, or any formula disclosed herein.
The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, may be defined by an isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of this disclosure any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwise stated, when a position is designated specifically as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition. Accordingly, in the compounds of this disclosure any atom specifically designated as a deuterium (D) is meant to represent deuterium.
The term “treatment” or “treating” refers to the administration of a compound as disclosed herein to a mammal for the purpose of:

    
    
        (i) preventing the disease, that is, causing the clinical symptoms of the disease not to develop;
        (ii) inhibiting the disease, that is, arresting the development of clinical symptoms; and/or
        (iii) relieving the disease, that is, causing the regression of clinical symptoms.
    
    


In many cases, the compounds of this disclosure are capable of forming acid and/or base salts by virtue of the presence of amino and/or carboxyl groups or groups similar thereto.

The term “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount that is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined below, when administered to a mammal in need of such treatment. The therapeutically effective amount will vary depending upon the subject and disease condition being treated, the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration and the like, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art.
“Coronary diseases” or “cardiovascular diseases” refer to diseases of the cardiovasculature arising from any one or more than one of, for example, heart failure (including congestive heart failure, diastolic heart failure and systolic heart failure), acute heart failure, ischemia, recurrent ischemia, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, angina (including exercise-induced angina, variant angina, stable angina, unstable angina), acute coronary syndrome, diabetes and intermittent claudication.
“Intermittent claudication” means the pain associated with peripheral artery disease. “Peripheral artery disease” or PAD is a type of occlusive peripheral vascular disease (PVD). PAD affects the arteries outside the heart and brain. The most common symptom of PAD is a painful cramping in the hips, thighs or calves when walking, climbing stairs or exercising. The pain is called intermittent claudication. When listing the symptom intermittent claudication, it is intended to include both PAD and PVD.
Arrhythmia refers to any abnormal heart rate. Bradycardia refers to abnormally slow heart rate whereas tachycardia refers to an abnormally rapid heart rate. As used herein, the treatment of arrhythmia is intended to include the treatment of supra ventricular tachycardias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, AV nodal reentrant tachycardia, atrial tachycardia and the ventricular tachycardias (VT5), including idiopathic ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, pre-excitation syndrome and Torsade de Pointes (TdP).

4. Further Embodiments
In some embodiments, the compounds provided by the present disclosure are effective in the treatment of conditions or diseases known to respond to administration of late sodium channel blockers, including but not limited to cardiovascular diseases such as atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, Prinzmetal's (variant) angina, stable angina, unstable angina, ischemia and reperfusion injury in cardiac, kidney, liver and the brain, exercise induced angina, pulmonary hypertension, congestive heart disease including diastolic and systolic heart failure, and myocardial infarction. In some embodiments, compounds provided by the present disclosure which function as late sodium channel blockers may be used in the treatment of diseases affecting the neuromuscular system resulting in pain, itching, seizures, or paralysis, or in the treatment of diabetes or reduced insulin sensitivity, and disease states related to diabetes, such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Certain compounds of the disclosure may also possess a sufficient activity in modulating neuronal sodium channels, i.e., Nav 1.1., 1.2, 1.5, 1.7, and/or 1.8, and may have appropriate pharmacokinetic properties such that they may active with regard to the central and/or peripheral nervous system. Consequently, some compounds of the disclosure may also be of use in the treatment of epilepsy or pain or itching of a neuropathic origin.
In one embodiment, this disclosure provides a method of treating a disease state in a mammal that is alleviable by treatment with an agent capable of reducing late sodium current, comprising administering to a mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective dose of a compound of Formula I as described above. In another embodiment, the disease state is a cardiovascular disease selected from one or more of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure (including congestive heart failure, diastolic heart failure, systolic heart failure, acute heart failure), Prinzmetal's (variant) angina, stable and unstable angina, exercise induced angina, congestive heart disease, ischemia, recurrent ischemia, reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, peripheral arterial disease, pulmonary hypertension, and intermittent claudication. In another embodiment, the disease state is diabetes or diabetic peripheral neuropathy. In a further embodiment, the disease state results in one or more of neuropathic pain, epilepsy, seizures, or paralysis.
In one embodiment, this disclosure provides a method of treating diabetes in a mammal, comprising administering to a mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective dose of a compound of Formula I as described above. Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by hyperglycemia; altered metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins; and an increased risk of complications from vascular disease. Diabetes is an increasing public health problem, as it is associated with both increasing age and obesity.
There are two major types of diabetes mellitus: 1) Type I, also known as insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM) and 2) Type II, also known as insulin independent or non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM). Both types of diabetes mellitus are due to insufficient amounts of circulating insulin and a decrease in the response of peripheral tissue to insulin.
Type I diabetes results from the body's failure to produce insulin, the hormone that “unlocks” the cells of the body, allowing glucose to enter and fuel them. The complications of Type I diabetes include heart disease and stroke; retinopathy (eye disease); kidney disease (nephropathy); neuropathy (nerve damage); as well as maintenance of good skin, foot and oral health.
Type II diabetes results from the body's inability to either produce enough insulin or the cells inability to use the insulin that is naturally produced by the body. The condition where the body is not able to optimally use insulin is called insulin resistance. Type II diabetes is often accompanied by high blood pressure and this may contribute to heart disease. In patients with type II diabetes mellitus, stress, infection, and medications (such as corticosteroids) can also lead to severely elevated blood sugar levels. Accompanied by dehydration, severe blood sugar elevation in patients with type II diabetes can lead to an increase in blood osmolality (hyperosmolar state). This condition can lead to coma.
It has been suggested that ranolazine (RANEXA®, a selective inhibitor of INaL) may be an antidiabetic agent that causes β-cell preservation and enhances insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner in diabetic mice (see, Y. Ning et al. J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2011, 337(1), 50-8). Therefore it is contemplated that the compounds of Formula I as disclosed herein can be used as antidiabetic agents for the treatment of diabetes.
Pharmaceutical Compositions and Administration
Compounds provided in accordance with the present disclosure are usually administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. This disclosure therefore provides pharmaceutical compositions that contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds described, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, carriers, including inert solid diluents and fillers, diluents, including sterile aqueous solution and various organic solvents, permeation enhancers, solubilizers and adjuvants. The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents. Such compositions are prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art (see, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mace Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa. 17th Ed. (1985); and Modern Pharmaceutics, Marcel Dekker, Inc. 3rd Ed. (G. S. Banker & C. T. Rhodes, Eds.)
The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered in either single or multiple doses by any of the accepted modes of administration of agents having similar utilities, for example as described in those patents and patent applications incorporated by reference, including rectal, buccal, intranasal and transdermal routes, by intra-arterial injection, intravenously, intraperitoneally, parenterally, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, orally, topically, as an inhalant, or via an impregnated or coated device such as a stent, for example, or an artery-inserted cylindrical polymer.
One mode for administration is parenteral, particularly by injection. The forms in which the novel compositions of the present disclosure may be incorporated for administration by injection include aqueous or oil suspensions, or emulsions, with sesame oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs, mannitol, dextrose, or a sterile aqueous solution, and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Aqueous solutions in saline are also conventionally used for injection, but less preferred in the context of the present invention. Ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like (and suitable mixtures thereof), cyclodextrin derivatives, and vegetable oils may also be employed. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like.
Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating a compound according to the present disclosure in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various other ingredients as enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum-drying and freeze-drying techniques which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. Preferably, for parenteral administration, sterile injectable solutions are prepared containing a therapeutically effective amount, e.g., 0.1 to 700 mg, of a compound described herein. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered usually will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered and its relative activity, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.
Oral administration is another route for administration of compounds in accordance with the invention. Administration may be via capsule or enteric coated tablets, or the like. In making the pharmaceutical compositions that include at least one compound described herein, the active ingredient is usually diluted by an excipient and/or enclosed within such a carrier that can be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be in the form of a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material (as above), which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.
Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, sterile water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents.
The compositions of the disclosure can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art. Controlled release drug delivery systems for oral administration include osmotic pump systems and dissolutional systems containing polymer-coated reservoirs or drug-polymer matrix formulations. Examples of controlled release systems are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,845,770; 4,326,525; 4,902514; and 5,616,345. Another formulation for use in the methods of the present disclosure employs transdermal delivery devices (“patches”). Such transdermal patches may be used to provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the compounds of the present disclosure in controlled amounts. The construction and use of transdermal patches for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents is well known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,023,252, 4,992,445 and 5,001,139. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents.
The compositions are preferably formulated in a unit dosage form. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient (e.g., a tablet, capsule, ampoule). The compounds are generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. Preferably, for oral administration, each dosage unit contains from 1 mg to 2 g, or alternatively, or 100 mg to 500 mg, of a compound described herein, and for parenteral administration, preferably from 0.1 mg to 700 mg, or alternatively, 0.1 mg to 100 mg, of a compound a compound described herein. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered usually will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered and its relative activity, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.
For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules.
The tablets or pills of the present disclosure may be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action, or to protect from the acid conditions of the stomach. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer that serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. Preferably, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in preferably pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be inhaled directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device may be attached to a facemask tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered, preferably orally or nasally, from devices that deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.
Combination Therapy
Patients being treated by administration of the late sodium channel blockers of the disclosure often exhibit diseases or conditions that benefit from treatment with other therapeutic agents. These diseases or conditions can be of the cardiovascular nature or can be related to pulmonary disorders, metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal disorders and the like. Additionally, some coronary patients being treated by administration of the late sodium channel blockers of the disclosure exhibit conditions that can benefit from treatment with therapeutic agents that are antibiotics, analgesics, and/or antidepressants and anti-anxiety agents.
Cardiovascular Agent Combination Therapy
Cardiovascular related diseases or conditions that can benefit from a combination treatment of the late sodium channel blockers of the disclosure with other therapeutic agents include, without limitation, angina including stable angina, unstable angina (UA), exercised-induced angina, variant angina, arrhythmias, intermittent claudication, myocardial infarction including non-STE myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), pulmonary hypertension including pulmonary arterial hypertension, heart failure including congestive (or chronic) heart failure and diastolic heart failure and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (diastolic dysfunction), acute heart failure, or recurrent ischemia.
Therapeutic agents suitable for treating cardiovascular related diseases or conditions include anti-anginals, heart failure agents, antithrombotic agents, antiarrhythmic agents, antihypertensive agents, and lipid lowering agents.
The co-administration of the late sodium channel blockers of the disclosure with therapeutic agents suitable for treating cardiovascular related conditions allows enhancement in the standard of care therapy the patient is currently receiving.
Anti-Anginals
Anti-anginals include beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and nitrates. Beta blockers reduce the heart's need for oxygen by reducing its workload resulting in a decreased heart rate and less vigorous heart contraction. Examples of beta-blockers include acebutolol (Sectral®), atenolol (Tenormin®), betaxolol (Kerlone®), bisoprolol/hydrochlorothiazide (Ziac®), bisoprolol (Zebeta®), carteolol (Cartrol®), esmolol (Brevibloc®), labetalol (Normodyne®, Trandate®), metoprolol (Lopressor®, Toprol® XL), nadolol (Corgard®), propranolol (Inderal®), sotalol (Betapace®), and timolol (Blocadren®).
Nitrates dilate the arteries and veins thereby increasing coronary blood flow and decreasing blood pressure. Examples of nitrates include nitroglycerin, nitrate patches, isosorbide dinitrate, and isosorbide-5-mononitrate.
Calcium channel blockers prevent the normal flow of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels causing the blood vessels to relax thereby increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Examples of calcium channel blockers include amlodipine (Norvasc®, Lotrel®), bepridil (Vascor®), diltiazem (Cardizem®, Tiazac®), felodipine (Plendil®), nifedipine (Adalat®, Procardia®), nimodipine (Nimotop®), nisoldipine (Sular), verapamil (Calan®, Isoptin®, Verelan®), and nicardipine.
Heart Failure Agents
Agents used to treat heart failure include diuretics, ACE inhibitors, vasodilators, and cardiac glycosides. Diuretics eliminate excess fluids in the tissues and circulation thereby relieving many of the symptoms of heart failure. Examples of diuretics include hydrochlorothiazide, metolazone (Zaroxolyn®), furosemide (Lasix®), bumetanide (Bumex®), spironolactone (Aldactone®), and eplerenone (Inspra®).
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce the workload on the heart by expanding the blood vessels and decreasing resistance to blood flow. Examples of ACE inhibitors include benazepril (Lotensin®), captopril (Capoten®), enalapril (Vasotec®), fosinopril (Monopril®), lisinopril Zestril®), moexipril (Univasc®), perindopril (Aceon®), quinapril (Accupril®), ramipril (Altace®), and trandolapril (Mavik®).
Vasodilators reduce pressure on the blood vessels by making them relax and expand. Examples of vasodilators include hydralazine, diazoxide, prazosin, clonidine, and methyldopa. ACE inhibitors, nitrates, potassium channel activators, and calcium channel blockers also act as vasodilators.
Cardiac glycosides are compounds that increase the force of the heart's contractions. These compounds strengthen the pumping capacity of the heart and improve irregular heartbeat activity. Examples of cardiac glycosides include digitalis, digoxin, and digitoxin.
Antithrombotic Agents
Antithrombotics inhibit the clotting ability of the blood. There are three main types of antithrombotics—platelet inhibitors, anticoagulants, and thrombolytic agents.
Platelet inhibitors inhibit the clotting activity of platelets, thereby reducing clotting in the arteries. Examples of platelet inhibitors include acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), ticlopidine, clopidogrel (Plavix®), prasugrel (Effient®), dipyridamole, cilostazol, persantine sulfinpyrazone, dipyridamole, indomethacin, and glycoprotein llb/llla inhibitors, such as abciximab, tirofiban, and eptifibatide (Integrelin®). Beta blockers and calcium channel blockers also have a platelet-inhibiting effect.
Anticoagulants prevent blood clots from growing larger and prevent the formation of new clots. Examples of anticoagulants include bivalirudin (Angiomax®), warfarin (Coumadin®), unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin, danaparoid, lepirudin, and argatroban.
Thrombolytic agents act to break down an existing blood clot. Examples of thrombolytic agents include streptokinase, urokinase, and tenecteplase (TNK), and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA).
Antiarrhythmic Agents
Antiarrhythmic agents are used to treat disorders of the heart rate and rhythm. Examples of antiarrhythmic agents include amiodarone, dronedarone, quinidine, procainamide, lidocaine, and propafenone. Cardiac glycosides and beta blockers are also used as antiarrhythmic agents.
Combinations with amiodarone and dronedarone are of particular interest (see U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010/0056536 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2011/0183990, the entirety of which are incorporated herein).
Antihypertensive Agents
Antihypertensive agents are used to treat hypertension, a condition in which the blood pressure is consistently higher than normal. Hypertension is associated with many aspects of cardiovascular disease, including congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, and clot formation. Examples of antihypertensive agents include alpha-1-adrenergic antagonists, such as prazosin (Minipress®), doxazosin mesylate (Cardura®), prazosin hydrochloride (Minipress®), prazosin, polythiazide (Minizide®), and terazosin hydrochloride (Hytrin®); beta-adrenergic antagonists, such as propranolol (Inderal®), nadolol (Corgard®), timolol (Blocadren®), metoprolol (Lopressor®), and pindolol (Visken®); central alpha-adrenoceptor agonists, such as clonidine hydrochloride (Catapres®), clonidine hydrochloride and chlorthalidone (Clorpres®, Combipres®), guanabenz Acetate (Wytensin®), guanfacine hydrochloride (Tenex®), methyldopa (Aldomet®), methyldopa and chlorothiazide (Aldoclor®), methyldopa and hydrochlorothiazide (Aldoril®); combined alpha/beta-adrenergic antagonists, such as labetalol (Normodyne®, Trandate®), carvedilol (Coreg®); adrenergic neuron blocking agents, such as guanethidine (Ismelin®), reserpine (Serpasil®); central nervous system-acting antihypertensives, such as clonidine (Catapres®), methyldopa (Aldomet®), guanabenz (Wytensin®); anti-angiotensin II agents; ACE inhibitors, such as perindopril (Aceon®) captopril (Capoten®), enalapril (Vasotec®), lisinopril Zestril®); angiotensin-II receptor antagonists, such as candesartan (Atacand®), eprosartan (Teveten®), irbesartan (Avapro®), losartan (Cozaar®), telmisartan (Micardis®), valsartan (Diovan®); calcium channel blockers, such as verapamil (Calan®, Isoptin®), diltiazem (Cardizem®), nifedipine (Adalat®, Procardia®); diuretics; direct vasodilators, such as nitroprusside (Nipride®), diazoxide (Hyperstat® IV), hydralazine (Apresoline®), minoxidil (Loniten®), verapamil; and potassium channel activators, such as aprikalim, bimakalim, cromakalim, emakalim, nicorandil, and pinacidil.

5. Synthesis of Example Compounds
The compounds of the disclosure may be prepared using methods disclosed herein and routine modifications thereof which will be apparent given the disclosure herein and methods well known in the art. Conventional and well-known synthetic methods may be used in addition to the teachings herein. The synthesis of typical compounds described herein, e.g. compounds having structures described by one or more of Formula I, may be accomplished as described in the following examples. If available, reagents may be purchased commercially, e.g. from Sigma Aldrich or other chemical suppliers.
General Syntheses
Typical embodiments of compounds in accordance with the present disclosure may be synthesized using the general reaction schemes described below. It will be apparent given the description herein that the general schemes may be altered by substitution of the starting materials with other materials having similar structures to result in products that are correspondingly different. Descriptions of syntheses follow to provide numerous examples of how the starting materials may vary to provide corresponding products. Given a desired product for which the substituent groups are defined, the necessary starting materials generally may be determined by inspection. Starting materials are typically obtained from commercial sources or synthesized using published methods. For synthesizing compounds which are embodiments of the present invention, inspection of the structure of the compound to be synthesized will provide the identity of each substituent group in view of the general schemes provided herein. The identity of the final product will generally render apparent the identity of the necessary starting materials by a simple process of inspection, given the examples herein.
Synthetic Reaction Parameters
The compounds of this disclosure can be prepared from readily available starting materials using, for example, the following general methods and procedures. It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred process conditions (i.e., reaction temperatures, times, mole ratios of reactants, solvents, pressures, etc.) are given, other process conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvent used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art by routine optimization procedures.
Additionally, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, conventional protecting groups may be necessary to prevent certain functional groups from undergoing undesired reactions. Suitable protecting groups for various functional groups as well as suitable conditions for protecting and deprotecting particular functional groups are well known in the art. For example, numerous protecting groups are described in T. W. Greene and G. M. Wuts (1999) Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, Wiley, New York, and references cited therein.
Furthermore, the compounds of this disclosure may contain one or more chiral centers. Accordingly, if desired, such compounds can be prepared or isolated as pure stereoisomers, i.e., as individual enantiomers or diastereomers, or as stereoisomer-enriched mixtures. All such stereoisomers (and enriched mixtures) are included within the scope of this invention, unless otherwise indicated. Pure stereoisomers (or enriched mixtures) may be prepared using, for example, optically active starting materials or stereoselective reagents well-known in the art. Alternatively, racemic mixtures of such compounds can be separated using, for example, chiral column chromatography, chiral resolving agents, and the like.
The starting materials for the following reactions are generally known compounds or can be prepared by known procedures or obvious modifications thereof. For example, many of the starting materials are available from commercial suppliers such as Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, Wis., USA), Bachem (Torrance, Calif., USA), Emka-Chemce or Sigma (St. Louis, Mo., USA). Others may be prepared by procedures, or obvious modifications thereof, described in standard reference texts such as Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volumes 1-15 (John Wiley, and Sons, 1991), Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Volumes 1-5, and Supplementals (Elsevier Science Publishers, 1989), Organic Reactions, Volumes 1-40 (John Wiley, and Sons, 1991), March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, (John Wiley, and Sons, 5th Edition, 2001), and Larock's Comprehensive Organic Transformations (VCH Publishers Inc., 1989).
The terms “solvent,” “inert organic solvent” or “inert solvent” refer to a solvent inert under the conditions of the reaction being described in conjunction therewith (including, for example, benzene, toluene, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran (“THF”), dimethylformamide (“DMF”), chloroform, methylene chloride (or dichloromethane), diethyl ether, methanol, pyridine and the like). Unless specified to the contrary, the solvents used in the reactions of the present disclosure are inert organic solvents, and the reactions are carried out under an inert gas, preferably nitrogen.
The term “q.s.” means adding a quantity sufficient to achieve a stated function, e.g., to bring a solution to the desired volume (i.e., 100%).
Synthesis of the Compounds of Formula I
The compounds of Formula I are typically prepared by first providing the molecular core 1-2; which may be commercially obtained, for example 7-bromophthalazin-1(2H)-one, 6-bromophthalazin-1(2H)-one, and the like, or synthesized de novo, and then attaching the desired -Q-R1 substituents using suitable coupling conditions (e.g., Suzuki coupling) and the desired —R2 substituents using suitable substitution conditions. These processes are shown below in Scheme 1 for the synthesis of a compound of Formula I (or a compound of Formula IA, IB, IC, ID, II, IIA, III, IIIA, IV, IVA, IVB, V, VA, VI, VIA, VIIA, VIIIA, or IXA).




In general, a halogenated compound of formula 1-1, in this case a brominated compound, is reacted with an appropriately substituted boronic acid derivative of formula R1Q-B(OH)2, or a boronic ester thereof, in an inert solvent, for example aqueous N,N-dimethylformamide, in the presence of a mild base, for example potassium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. The reaction is typically conducted in the presence of a metal catalyst with an appropriate ligand, for example dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine) palladium(II), at a temperature of about 120-170° C., for about 10 minutes to about 1 hour or at a lower temperature, i.e., 90-110° C. for 2 to 5 days. When the reaction is substantially complete, the product of Formula I is isolated by conventional means.
It will be appreciated that the R2 substitutent can be modified or added either before (as shown in Scheme 1) or after the addition of the R1 moiety. The R2 moiety may be coupled to the core 1-2 under substitution reaction conditions with an appropriate reagent of formula LG-R2 (where LG is a leaving group such as a halo, hydroxyl, alkoxy, and the like) as shown in Scheme 1. Typical substitution reaction conditions include the presence of a base, such as potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, triethylamine, and the like, in a polar aprotic solvent, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, and optionally an elevated temperature of about 100-150° C., or in a microwave. Also, in the case where the R2 substituent contains a heteroaryl ring, the heteroaryl ring may be synthesized and cyclized before or after addition of the -Q-R1 portion.
Optional Core Synthesis
In certain embodiments, the core may be synthesized and cyclized before or after addition of the -Q-R1 substitutent (Scheme 2). For example, such alternative routes for the synthesis of benzo[d][1,2,3]triazin-4(3H)-one compounds of Formula 2-8 (i.e., Formula II, IIA, VA, and VIIA) are shown in Scheme 2, below.




In one embodiment, compounds of Formula 2-2 are prepared from commercially available compounds of Formula 2-1 using bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate.

Compounds of Formula 2-5 can be provided from compounds of Formula 2-4 via reaction with an appropriately substituted boronic acid derivative of formula R1Q-B(OH)2, or a boronic ester thereof, under typical coupling reaction conditions.
Typical coupling reaction conditions an inert solvent, for example aqueous N,N-dimethylformamide, in the presence of a mild base, for example potassium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. The reaction is typically conducted in the presence of a metal catalyst with an appropriate ligand, for example dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine) palladium(II), at a temperature of about 120-170° C., for about 10 minutes to about 1 hour or at a lower temperature, i.e., 90-110° C. for 2 to 5 days. When the reaction is substantially complete, the compounds of Formula 2-5 can be isolated by conventional means.
In another embodiment, compounds of Formula 2-5 can be provided from compounds of Formula 2-6. For example, compounds of Formula 2-6 are coupled with an appropriately substituted boronic acid derivative of formula R1Q-B(OH)2, or a boronic ester thereof, under typical coupling reaction conditions as described hereinabove, to afford compounds of Formula 2-7. Compounds of Formula 2-7 are cyclized to afford compounds of Formula 2-5 using sodium nitrite in the presence of an acid, such as hydrochloric acid, in a suitable solvent system, such as aqueous dioxane.
The R2 moiety may be coupled to compounds of Formula 2-5 under substitution reaction conditions with an appropriate reagent of formula LG-R2 (where LG is a leaving group such as a halo, hydroxyl, alkoxy, or the like) as shown in Scheme 1 to afford benzo[d][1,2,3]triazin-4(3H)-one compounds of Formula 2-8.

In addition, the acid of Formula 2-6 can first be converted to the corresponding acid halide using, for example, thionylchloride, prior to reaction with the amine of formula H2N—R2. Compounds of Formula 3-1 are then cyclized to afford compounds of Formula 3-2 using sodium nitrite in the presence of an acid, such as hydrochloric acid, in a suitable solvent system, such as aqueous dioxane. Compounds of Formula 3-2 are then coupled with an appropriately substituted boronic acid derivative of formula R1Q-B(OH)2, or a boronic ester thereof, under typical coupling reaction conditions as described hereinabove, to afford compounds of Formula 2-8.

Compounds of Formula 6-2 are then coupled with an appropriately substituted boronic acid derivative of formula R1Q-B(OH)2, or a boronic ester thereof, under typical coupling reaction conditions as described hereinabove, to afford compounds of Formula 6-3. The R2 moiety may be coupled to compounds of Formula 6-3 under substitution reaction conditions with an appropriate reagent of formula LG-R2 (where LG is a leaving group such as a halo, hydroxyl, alkoxy, or the like) to afford compounds of Formula 6-4.

Compounds of Formula 7-2 are then cyclized using an excess of the appropriate amide to afford compounds of Formula 7-3.
In another embodiment, compounds of Formula 7-3 are prepared from compounds of Formula 7-1 by way of compounds of Formula 7-4. Reaction of compounds of Formula 7-1 with an excess of the appropriate amide affords compounds of Formula 7-4, which are then converted to compounds of Formula 7-3 via reaction with an appropriately substituted boronic acid derivative of formula R1Q-B(OH)2, or a boronic ester thereof, under typical coupling reaction conditions.

The sustained release formulations of this disclosure are prepared as follows: compound and pH-dependent binder and any optional excipients are intimately mixed (dry-blended). The dry-blended mixture is then granulated in the presence of an aqueous solution of a strong base which is sprayed into the blended powder. The granulate is dried, screened, mixed with optional lubricants (such as talc or magnesium stearate), and compressed into tablets. Preferred aqueous solutions of strong bases are solutions of alkali metal hydroxides, such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, preferably sodium hydroxide, in water (optionally containing up to 25% of water-miscible solvents such as lower alcohols). The resulting tablets may be coated with an optional film-forming agent, for identification, taste-masking purposes and to improve ease of swallowing. The film forming agent will typically be present in an amount ranging from about 1% to 10%, or from about 2% and 4% of the tablet weight. Suitable film-forming agents are well known to the art and include hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, cationic methacrylate copolymers (dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate/methyl-butyl methacrylate copolymers—Eudragit® E—Röhm. Pharma), and the like. These film-forming agents may optionally contain colorants, plasticizers, and other supplemental ingredients.
The compressed tablets preferably have a hardness sufficient to withstand 8 Kp compression. The tablet size will depend primarily upon the amount of compound in the tablet. The tablets will include from 300 to 1100 mg of compound free base. Preferably, the tablets will include amounts of compound free base ranging from 400-600 mg, 650-850 mg, and 900-1100 mg.
In order to influence the dissolution rate, the time during which the compound containing powder is wet mixed is controlled. Preferably the total powder mix time, i.e. the time during which the powder is exposed to sodium hydroxide solution, will range from 1 to 10 minutes and preferably from 2 to 5 minutes. Following granulation, the particles are removed from the granulator and placed in a fluid bed dryer for drying at about 60° C.
Example 256
Activity testing is conducted in the Examples below using methods described herein and those well known in the art.
Sodium Current Screening Assays:
The late sodium current (Late INa) and peak sodium current (Peak INa) assays are performed on an automated electrophysiology platform, QPatch 16× (Sophion Bioscience, Copenhagen, Denmark), which uses the whole cell patch clamp technique to measure currents through the cell membrane of up to 16 cells at a time. The assay uses an HEK293 (human embryonic kidney) cell line heterologously expressing the wild-type human cardiac sodium channel, hNav1.5, purchased from Millipore (Billerica, Mass.). No beta subunits were coexpressed with the Na channel alpha subunit. Cells are maintained with standard tissue culture procedures and stable channel expression is maintained with 400 μg/mL Geneticin in the culture medium. Cells isolated for use on QPatch are incubated for 5 minutes in Detachin 1× (Genlantis, San Diego, USA) at 37° C. to ensure that 80-90% of the cells are single and not part of a cell cluster. Experiments are carried out at 23-25° C.
For both the Late INa and Peak INa assays, series resistance compensation is set to 100% and series resistance and whole-cell compensation are performed automatically. Currents are digitized at 25 kHz and low-pass filtered at 12 kHz and 10 kHz for the late and peak INa assays, respectively. Currents through open sodium channels are automatically recorded and stored in the Sophion Bioscience Oracle database (Sophion Bioscience, Copehagen, Denmark). Analysis is performed using QPatch Assay and database software and data are compiled in Excel.
Compound stocks are routinely made by the Gilead Sample Bank in plastic vials to 10 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). In some cases, when compounds are not soluble in DMSO, they are made in 100% ethanol. Stocks are sonicated as necessary. The extracellular solution for screening Late INa is composed of: 140 mM NaCl, 4 mM KCl, 1.8 mM CaCl2, 0.75 mM MgCl2 and 5 mM HEPES with pH adjusted to 7.4 using NaOH. The intracellular solution used to perfuse the inside of the cells for both the Late INa and Peak INa assays contains: 120 mM CsF, 20 mM CsCl, 5 mM EGTA, 5 mM HEPES and pH adjusted to 7.4 with CsOH. Compounds are diluted in extracellular solution to 1 μM in glass vials and then transferred to glass well plates before robotic addition to the cells. The 0Na extracellular solution used at the end of each experiment for the Late INa and Peak INa assays to measure baseline current contains: 140 mM N-methyl-D-glucamine; 4 mM KCl; 1.8 mM CaCl2; 0.75 mM MgCl2; 5 mM HEPES and pH was adjusted to 7.4 with HCl.
Late INa Screening Assay:
For the Late INa assay, sodium channels are activated every 10 seconds (0.1 Hz) by depolarizing the cell membrane to −20 mV for 250 milliseconds (ms) from a holding potential of −120 mV. In response to a −20 mV voltage step, typical hNav1.5 sodium currents activate rapidly to a peak negative current and then inactivate nearly completely within 3-4 ms.
All compounds were tested to determine their activity in blocking the late sodium current. Late INa was generated by adding 10 μM Tefluthrin (pyrethroid) to the extracellular solution while recording Na currents. To confirm the block of late INa observed using the automated screening method, a second late INa enhancer (ATX-II) and the manual patch clamp method were used. ATX-II and tefluthrin occupy distinct, non-overlapping binding sites and modify Na+ channel function differently to increase late INa. All compounds tested to date have been found to inhibit the enhanced late INa caused by either late INa enhancer. For the purposes of the screening, late INa is defined as the mean current between 225 ms and 250 ms after stepping to −20 mV to activate Na channels. After establishing the whole cell recording configuration, late INa activator is added to each well 4 times over a 16-17 minute period so that the late component of the Na current reaches a stable value. Compounds were then added (typically at 1 μM), in the presence of late INa activator, with 3 additions over the course of 7 or 8 minutes. Measurements were made at the end of exposure to the third compound addition and values were normalized to the current level when all Na+ was removed from the extracellular solution after two additions of 0Na-ECF. Results are reported as percent block of late INa. When tested in the assay disclosed above with 10 μM Tefluthrin activating late INa, Compound II-3 of Example 10 inhibited (or reduced) the late sodium current by 53% (see table 1 for additional compound data).
Peak INa Screening Assay:
Compounds were also evaluated for their effect in several other assays, including their effect on Peak INa. Good separation between the concentrations of test compound to reduce late and peak INa is beneficial to enable separation of the desired effect to reduce late INa induced electrical and mechanical dysfunction from the undesired effect to reduce peak INa, which can lead to slowing or block of conduction of electrical excitation in the heart. It is contemplated that the compounds of Formula I avoid significant block of peak INa. Since the peak INa in the cells used herein can be very large, introducing artifacts in the recording, the concentration of Na+ in the bath can be reduced to 20 mM and a nonpermeant cation added to compensate for the Na+ that was removed to maintain the osmolarity and ionic strength of the solution (see solution details below). Analysis of peak INa generally requires correction for rundown before determining the % block of peak current by the tested compound.
A separate Peak INa screening assay was developed to allow assessment of the effect of compounds on peak INa at both low and high stimulation frequencies in order to identify compounds that are highly selective for block of late INa but do not block peak INa. A low stimulation frequency of 0.1 Hz was used to determine the effect of the test compound when the channel spent most of the time in the resting (closed) state and provides information about Tonic Block (TB). A higher stimulation frequency (3 Hz) was used to measure block of the channel when it spent more time in the activated and inactivated states and provided a measure of Use-Dependent Block (UDB). Use-dependent block refers to the accumulation of block with increased frequency of channel activation. Block of cardiac peak INa by compounds of this invention is increased with an increase in the frequency of stimulation from 0.1 to 1-5 Hz (frequencies encountered either in the normal heart or during tachycardia). It is therefore expected that reduction of peak INa by compounds of this invention will be greater at high heart rates, such as those during tachyarrhythmias, than at normal heart rates. As a consequence, compounds of this invention may reduce Na+ and Ca2+ overload due to late INa and abnormal electrical activity and electrical conduction in myocardium that is arrhythmic, especially during ischemia.
The −100 mV holding potential and the 3 Hz stimulation frequency were chosen so that the benchmark compound would have a small but detectable effect under experimental conditions, allowing for direct comparison of new compounds with the benchmark. The extracellular solution for screening Peak INa is composed of: 20 mM NaCl, 120 mM N-methyl-D glucamine, 4 mM KCl, 1.8 mM CaCl2, 0.75 mM MgCl2 and 5 mM HEPES with pH adjusted to 7.4 using HCl. The intracellular solution used for the Peak INa assay is the same as outlined for the Late INa assay (see above).
For the peak INa assay, Na+ channels were activated by depolarizing the cell membrane to 0 mV for 20 ms from a holding potential of −100 mV. After establishing the whole cell recording configuration, channels were stimulated to open with low frequency stimulation (0.1 Hz) for 7 minutes so that the recording can be monitored and the extent to which the recording has stabilized can be assessed. After this stabilization period the stimulation frequency was increased to 3 Hz for 2 minutes and then returned to 0.1 Hz. Since 3 Hz stimulation causes a small decrease in the peak current even in the absence of compound, this internal control was used for each cell, when no compound is present, to correct the results from 3 Hz stimulation when compound is present. Following 3 Hz stimulation under control conditions, the cell is allowed to recover for 200 seconds before compound is added. The test compound tested at 1 or 3 μM (depending on the % block of late INa at 1 μM) was added 3 times at 60 second intervals, while stimulating the channels to open at 0.1 Hz to monitor the progression of TB. After the third compound addition, a 320 second wait period was imposed to allow for equilibration before the second period of 3 Hz stimulation begins. TB was measured before the second period of 3 Hz stimulation. Both TB and UDB were analyzed by incorporating rundown correction for the peak INa and UDB was calculated by compensating for the small use-dependent effect of the stimulation protocol on peak INa in the absence of compound. Compound II-3 of Example 10 exhibited peak INa TB of 19% and UDB of 10%, both measured at 1 This demonstrates the selectivity of Compound II-3 to block late INa compared to peak INa and suggests that Compound II-3 should show minimal to no effects on conduction through the heart (which is driven by peak INa) at concentrations that effectively block late INa (see table 1 for additional compound data).
hERG Screening Assay:
Compounds were also tested for their effect to block the hERG K+ channel. At least a 3-5-fold separation, preferably 10 fold separation, of IC50 values for compounds to inhibit late INa (more potent) and hERG (less potent) indicates that a compound is unlikely to cause QT prolongation and/or proarrhythmic effects at concentrations needed to reduce late INa.
Compounds were screened to test their activity in blocking the hERG potassium channel at AVIVA Biosciences (San Diego, Calif., USA). The hERG channel is heterologously expressed in a CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cell line. Cells were maintained with standard tissue culture procedures and stable channel expression was maintained with 500 μg/mL G418 in the culture medium. Cells were harvested for testing on the PatchXpress 7000A automated patch clamp with Accumax (Innovative Cell Technologies, San Diego, Calif.) to isolate single cells.
The following solutions were used for electrophysiological recordings. The external solution contained: 2 mM CaCl2; 2 mM MgCl2; 4 mM KCl; 150 mM NaCl; 10 mM Glucose; 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4 with 1M NaOH; osmolarity,  ̃310 mOsm). The internal solution contained: 140 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 6 mM EGTA, 5 mM HEPES, 5 mM ATP (pH adjusted to 7.25 with KOH; osmolarity,  ̃295 mOsm).
hERG channels were activated when the voltage was first stepped to −50 mV for 300 ms from the −80 mV holding potential and then stepped to +20 mV for 5 seconds. At +20 mV the channels open and then largely inactivate, so the currents are relatively small. Upon returning to −50 mV from +20 mV, hERG currents transiently become much larger as inactivation is rapidly removed and then the channel closes. The first step to −50 mV for 300 ms was used as a baseline for measuring the peak amplitude during the step to −50 mV after channel activation. The peak tail current at −50 mV was measured both under control conditions and after addition of compound, each cell serving as its own control.
All compounds were prepared as 10 mM DMSO stocks in glass vials. Stock solutions were mixed by vigorous vortexing and sonication for about 2 minutes at room temperature. For testing, compounds were diluted in glass vials using an intermediate dilution step in pure DMSO and then further diluted to working concentrations in external solution. Dilutions were prepared no longer than 20 minutes before use.
For the electrophysiological recordings, after achieving the whole-cell configuration, cells were monitored for 90 seconds to assess stability and washed with external solution for 66 seconds. The voltage protocol described above was then applied to the cells every 12 seconds and throughout the whole procedure. Only cells with stable recording parameters and meeting specified health criteria were allowed to enter the compound addition procedure.
External solution containing 0.1% DMSO (vehicle) was applied to the cells first to establish the control peak current amplitude. After allowing the current to stabilize for 3 to 5 minutes, 1 μM and then 10 μM test compounds were applied. Each compound concentration was added 4 times and cells were kept in test solution until the effect of the compound reached steady state or for a maximum of 12 minutes. After addition of test compound, a positive control (1 μM Cisapride) was added and must block >95% of the current for the experiment to be considered valid. Washout in the external solution compartment was performed until the recovery of the current reached steady state. Data were analyzed using DataXpress software and its associated SQL server database, Clampfit (Molecular Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale) and Origin 7 (Originlab Corp.) When tested in the assay disclosed above, Compound II-3 of Example 10 inhibited (or reduced) the activity of the hERG potassium channel by 15.5% at 1 μM and 24.5% at 10 μM (see table 2 for additional compound data).
The compounds were tested using the above described assay methods. Data are obtained by testing the listed compounds at 1 μM concentration in the late and peak INa assays (and other concentrations as needed) and at 1 μM and 10 μM for the hERG channel assay.
Microsomal Stability Assay
The micorsomal stability assay is generally performed as follows.
Format: 15 compounds (and 1 control—verapamil) in 3 different species in duplicate sets
General Conditions:
Substrate: 3 uM
Protein concentration: 0.5 mg/mL (for dog, rat, and human liver microsomes)
Cofactor: 1× NADPH-Regenerating system
Time-points: 2, 12, 25, 45, and 65 minutes
Reaction composition (in each incubation well):













5
uL compound (150 uM stock solution, 25:75 DMSO:H2O)


25
uL NRS solution


6.25
uL 20 mg/mL liver microsomes


213.75
uL 100 mM KPO4, pH 7.4


250
uL total volume









TECAN program: Microsomal_Stability; Microsome_S9_Standard
Sample preparation: 25 uL at each timepoint is added to plate with 225 uL quenching solution (50% MeOH, 25% ACN, 25% H2O, and 50 nM test compound). After plates are vortexed, centrifuge for 30 minutes.
“Ideal” numbers to use for setup:
Compound plate: take 6 uL of 10 mM stock in DMSO and dilute with 394 uL 25:75 DMSO:H2O to make a 150 uM stock solution. Use tall plate and add an additional 300 uL 25:75 DMSO:H2O to the third column for the standard-making program. Shake well before use. Place this plate in “coolstack 1”.
Fill the water jug in the back of TECAN and then turn on TECAN and associated cooling systems. Run through the “Flush” maintenance program and let system initialize. Standard plate: Fill 1 trough with buffer and place in trough 3, 1 trough with 70% MeoH and place in trough 2, 1 trough with Quench and place in trough 1. Label one tall plate as “Standards” and place in position 1. Place “compound plate” in position 2. Run the “Microsome_S9_Standards” program.
After the standard program is complete, label 5 tall plates for each of the 5 time-points and place them in the correct positions on the TECAN countertop. Fill the 3 “Quench” troughs 90% full with the quenching solution (located in the fridge across from TECAN) and place it in positions 1, 2, and 3. Run the “Microsomal_Stability” program through the quenching portion (steps 1-52).
While the quenching filling portion of the program is running, prepare microsomes and cofactor.
Microsomal solutions: take 400 uL of 20 mg/mL microsomes and add to 13,680 uL 100 mM KPO4 buffer. Using an 8-channel, add 650 uL of this solution to the designated two columns on a short plate. The order should be dog microsomes in columns 1 and 2, rat microsomes in columns 3 and 4, and human microsomes in columns 5 and 6. Keep on ice before use. Place this plate in incubator 1 on the TECAN countertop.
Cofactor solution: mix 3000 uL Solution A, 600 uL Solution B, and 2400 uL 100 mM KPO4 buffer in 15 mL tube/10 mL glass vial and pour solution into the “Cofactor” trough and put in position 3.
Remove the quenching troughs and place the cofactor trough in “position 3”. Also fill up another trough with the 70:30 MeOH:H2O wash mixture and place in “position 2”. Place the original compound plate in “coolstack 1”. Place a 96-well Costar assay block on the TeShake. Once everything is setup correctly, submit the remaining portions of the Microsomal_Stability script (steps 53-312).
The assay results suggests that the compounds tested showed activity as modulators of late sodium current, for example by inhibiting (or reducing) the late sodium current. Data are shown in Table 1 below for those compounds that inhibit Late INa by at least 15% at the 1 μM concentration.

The assay results shown in the above Table suggest that compounds tested showed activity as modulators of late sodium current, for example by inhibiting (or reducing) the late sodium current.
In some embodiments the effects of a compound of Formula I are specific for the late sodium current and show little or no activity with respect to one or more other ion channels. Thus, in some embodiments, a compound having an activity of reducing late sodium current will also exhibit little or no activity with regard to the peak sodium current. In particular embodiments, a compound having an activity of reducing late sodium current will also exhibit little or no activity with regard to the hERG potassium channel.
L-Type Ca2+ Channel Assay—ChanTest:
Selected compounds were screened for block of the cardiac L-type Ca2+ channel (hCav1.2, encoded by the human CACNA1C gene and coexpressed with the beta 2 subunit, encoded by the human CACNB2 gene and alpha2delta1, encoded by the CACNA2D1 gene). The Ca2+ channel is heterologously expressed in a CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cell line. Cells are maintained following standard tissue culture procedures and stable channel expression is maintained with appropriate selection antibiotics in the culture medium. Cells are harvested for testing on the PatchXpress automated patch clamp (Model 7000A, Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.) by washing twice with Hank's Balanced Salt Solution, treating the cells with trypsin and re-suspending cells in culture medium (4-6×106 cells in 20 mL). Cells in suspension are allowed to recover for 10 minutes in a tissue culture incubator set at 37° C. in a humidified 95% air, 5% CO2 atmosphere.
The following solutions are used for electrophysiological recordings. The external solution contains (mM): 137 NaCl, 4 KCl, 1.8 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, 10 Glucose, 10 HEPES (pH 7.4 with NaOH). The internal solution contains (mM): 130 Cs Aspartate, 5 MgCl2, 10 EGTA, 4 ATP, 0.5 GTP, 10 HEPES, (pH adjusted to 7.2 with N-methyl-D-glucamine).
Vehicle is applied to naive cells (n≧2, where n=the number cells), for a 5-10 minute exposure interval. Each solution exchange is performed in quadruplicate. At the end of each experiment, a saturating concentration of nifedipine (10 μM) is added to block hCav1.2 current. Leak current is digitally subtracted from the total membrane current record.
Test compound stock solutions are prepared by addition of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and stored frozen. Each test compound DMSO stock is sonicated (Model 2510/5510, Branson Ultrasonics, Danbury, Conn.), at ambient room temperature for at least 20 minutes to facilitate dissolution. Test compound concentrations are prepared fresh daily by diluting stock solutions into the standard extracellular physiological saline solution (see above). The maximum percent of DMSO added with compound is 0.1%. All test compound and control solutions are placed in a glass-lined 96-well compound plate before loading on PatchXpress.
Two concentrations (1, 10 μM) of each test compound are applied at five (5) minute intervals via disposable polyethylene micropipette tips to naïve cells (n≧2, where n=the number cells/concentration). Each test compound concentration is added to the cell in quadruplicate. Total duration of exposure to each test compound concentration is 5 minutes.
Onset and steady state block of hCav1.2 (α1C/β2/α2δ□ channels is measured using a stimulus voltage pattern consisting of a depolarizing test pulse (duration, 200 ms; amplitude, 10 mV) at 10 s intervals from a −80 mV holding potential. Peak current is measured during a step to 10 mV.

Compounds of this invention that block cardiac late INa may also mediate UDB of other Na+ channel isoforms including the major Na+ channel isoforms in peripheral nervous system pain fibers, Nav1.7 and 1.8. Compounds of this invention that block these channels may also be useful to decrease neuropathic pain.
In particular embodiments, a compound will exhibit a high selectivity for the late sodium current modulatory activity as compared to the activity in one or more other ion channels. The selectivity of a compound may be determined by determining the percentage reduction in late sodium current due to the compound, as measured by the assay described above. The percentage reduction in one other ion channel activity, such as the hERG potassium channel, due to the compound is determined as described above. The selectivity is determined by taking the ratio of (percentage reduction in late sodium current) to (percentage reduction in one other ion channel activity). The assays conducted to measure activities in this regard should be performed as described above, with the compound at a concentration of 10 μM (or at the upper limit of solubility, if less). In particular embodiments, the selectivity of a compound of the disclosure will be at least 5:1, e.g. at least 6:1, at least 7:1, at least 8:1, at least 9:1, at least 10:1, at least 12:1, at least 15:1, at least 20:1, or at least 25:1, when comparing the percentage reduction in late sodium current versus percentage reduction of one of the peak sodium current, the hERG potassium channel current. Selectivity data can be calculated based on the values provided in the Examples above.
Evidence supports a role for the tetrodotoxin-sensitive Nav1.7 in the pathogenesis of pain. In this assay, using whole-cell patch-clamp technique, the effects of compounds of the invention on hNav1.7 (hNav1.7+β1 subunits) peak Na+ current (INa) are tested as described previously (Rajamani et al, 2009). Cells are continuously maintained using MEM (Gibco-Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 600 μg/mL geneticin (Gibco-Invitrogen), 2 μg/mL blastocydin (Calbiochem, N.J., USA), and are incubated at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. For recording hNav1.7 INa, HEK293 cells are superfused with an extracellular solution containing (in mM): 140 NaCl, 3KCl, 10 HEPES, 10 glucose, 1 MgCl2, 1 CaCl2, pH 7.4 (with NaOH). Patch pipettes are filled with an internal solution containing (in mM): 140 CsF, 10 NaCl, 1 EGTA, 10 HEPES, pH 7.3 (with CsOH).
Whole-cell INa are recorded as described previously (Rajamani et al, 2009) using an Axopatch 200B amplifier (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, USA). Signals are filtered at 5 kHz and sampled at 20 kHz. Patch pipettes are formed using borosilicate glass (World Precision Instruments, Sarasota, USA) using a micropipette puller (Dagan Corporation, Minneapolis, USA). The offset potential is zeroed before the pipette is attached to the cell and the voltages are not corrected for the liquid junction potential. In all recordings, 75-80% of the series resistance compensation will be achieved, thus yielding a maximum voltage error of 5 mV and leak currents are cancelled by P/−4 subtraction. pCLAMP 10.0 software (Molecular Devices) will be used to generate voltage clamp protocols and acquire data. Hold cells at a membrane potential of −100 or −120 mV and dialyzed with pipette solution for 5-7 minutes before current is recorded, to avoid time-dependent shifts in Na+ channel gating within the first several minutes after patch rupture. In all experiments, the temperature of experimental solutions will be maintained at 20±1° C. using a CL-100 bipolar temperature controller (Warner Instruments, Hamden, USA).
Analyze data using Clampfit and Microcal Origin (MicroCal, Northampton, USA) software.

Expression of Human Nav1.1 cDNA
All experiments with humanNav1.1 are conducted as described (Kahlig, 2008). Briefly, expression of hNav1.1 is achieved by transient transfection using Qiagen Superfect reagent (5.5 μg of DNA is transfected at a plasmid mass ratio of 10:1:1 for α1:β1:β2). The human β1 and β2 cDNAs are cloned into plasmids containing the marker genes DsRed (DsRed-IRES2-hβ1) or eGFP (eGFP-IRES2-hβ2) flanking an internal ribosome entry site (IRES).
Electrophysiology
Whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings are used to measure the biophysical properties of WT and mutant Nav1.1 channels, as described previously (Kahlig, 2008). For recording hNav1.1 INa, HEK293 cells are superfused with solution containing (in mM): 145 NaCl, 4 KCl, 1.8 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, 10 dextrose, 10 HEPES, with a pH of 7.35 and osmolarity of 310 mOsmol/kg. The pipette solution contains (in mM): 110 CsF, 10 NaF, 20 CsCl, 2 EGTA, 10 HEPES, with a pH of 7.35 with an osmolarity of 300 mOsmol/kg. Cells are allowed to stabilize for 10 min after establishment of the whole-cell configuration before current is measured. Series resistance is compensated 90% to assure that the command potential is reached within microseconds with a voltage error <2 mV. Leak currents are subtracted by using an online P/4 procedure and all currents are low-pass Bessel filtered at 5 kHz and digitized at 50 kHz.
For use-dependent studies, cells are stimulated with depolarizing pulse trains (−10 mV, 5 ms, 300 pulses, 10 and 25 Hz) from a holding potential of 120 mV. Currents are then normalized to the peak current recorded in response to the first pulse in each frequency train. For tonic block studies, peak and persistent currents are evaluated in response to a 200 ms depolarization to 10 mV (0.2 Hz) following digital subtraction of currents recorded in the presence and absence of 0.5 μM tetrodotoxin (TTX). Persistent current is calculated during the final 10 ms of the 200 ms step. Data analysis is performed using Clampfit 9.2 (Axon Instruments, Union City, Calif., U.S.A), Excel 2002 (Microsoft, Seattle, Wash., U.S.A.), and OriginPro 7.0 (OriginLab, Northampton, Mass., U.S.A) software. Results are presented as mean±SEM.
In Vitro Pharmacology
A stock solution of 10 mM compound of Formula I is prepared in 0.1 M HCl or DMSO. A fresh dilution of the compound of Formula I in the bath solution is prepared every experimental day and the pH is readjusted to 7.35 as necessary. The final DMSO concentration was kept at 0.1% in all solutions. Direct application of the perfusion solution to the clamped cell is achieved using the Perfusion Pencil system (Automate, Berkeley, Calif.). Direct cell perfusion is driven by gravity at a flow rate of 350 μL/min using a 250 micron tip. This system sequesters the clamped cell within a perfusion stream and enables complete solution exchange within 1 second. The clamped cell is perfused continuously starting immediately after establishing the whole-cell configuration. Control currents are measured during control solution perfusion. Where appropriate, concentration inhibition curves are fit with the Hill equation: I/Imax=1/[1+10^(log IC50−I)*k], where IC50 is the concentration that produces half inhibition and k is the Hill slope factor.
Solutions containing the compounds of the disclosure are perfused for three minutes prior to current recordings to allow equilibrium (tonic) drug block. Tonic block of peak current is measured from this steady-state condition. Use-dependent block of peak current is measured during pulse number 300 of the pulse train, (−10 mV, 5 ms, 300 pulses, 10 Hz) from a holding potential of −120 mV. Two sequential pulse train stimulations are averaged to obtain mean current traces for each recording condition.
In Vivo Pharmacology
Jugular vein cannulated male Sprague Dawley rats (250-350 g, Charles River Laboratories, Hollister, Calif.) are used to study brain penetration of the compounds of the disclosure in vivo. Animal use is approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, Gilead Sciences. Three rats per group are infused intravenously with the compound of the disclosure in saline at 85.5 μg/kg/min. After 1, 2.5 or 5 h animals are sacrificed for plasma and brain collection, and concentrations of the compound of the disclosure are measured by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Brain tissue is homogenated in 1% 2N HCl acidified 5% sodium fluoride (final homogenate is diluted 3-fold). Plasma and brain homogenate samples (50 μl) are precipitated along with deuterated D3-Formula I as an internal standard, vortexed and centrifuged. The supernatant (50 μL) is transferred and diluted with water (450 μl) prior to injection (10 μl). High performance liquid chromatography was performed using a Shimadzu LC-10AD liquid chromatograph and a Luna C18(2), 3 μm, 20×2.0 mm column with a mobile phase consisting of water containing 0.1% formic acid (solution A) and acetonitrile (solution B) carried out under isocratic conditions (75% solution A, 25% solution B; flow rate 0.300 ml/min). Mass spectrometric analyses are performed using an API3000 mass spectrometer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) operating in positive ion mode with MRM transition 428.1>98. Brain-to-plasma ratios are calculated for each sample as ng compound/g brain divided by ng compound/ml plasma.
Results
Using the above methods it may be demonstrated that the compound of the disclosure have the ability to inhibit WT-Nav1.1 and a panel of Nav1.1 mutant channels associated with the epilepsy and migraine syndromes GEFS+, SMEI and FHM3 suggesting the ability of the compounds of the disclosure to preferentially block the abnormal increased persistent current carried by these mutant channels. The ability of the compounds of the disclosure to cross the blood brain barrier may also be established using the above methods.

For clarity, representative ramp currents are low pass filtered off-line at 50 Hz. Specific voltage-clamp protocols assessing channel activation, fast inactivation and availability during repetitive stimulation are used. Results are presented as mean±SEM
Tonic block of peak current is measured using a step to −10 mV (20 ms) from a holding potential of −120 mV (0.2 Hz). Use-dependent block of peak current is measured during pulse number 300 of a pulse train (−10 mV, 5 ms, 300 pulses, 10 Hz or 25 Hz) from a holding potential of −120 mV.

Ischemia-Induced ST Segment Elevation in Anesthetized Rabbits
This study was undertaken to determine the anti-ischemic effects of compounds of the present invention in an in vivo rabbit model.
Methods
Female New Zealand rabbits (3.0-4.0 kg) were purchased from Western Oregon Rabbitry. Animals were housed on a 12-h light and dark cycle and received standard laboratory chow and water. All experiments were performed in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals published by The National Research Council and with the experimental protocol approved by the Institutional Animal Care Committee of Gilead Sciences, Inc.
Rabbits were anesthetized with ketamine (35 mg/kg) and xylazine (5 mg/kg) intramuscular injection (im). A tracheotomy was performed and the trachea was intubated with an endotracheal tube. The animal was ventilated with room air supplemented with oxygen using a pressure control animal ventilator (Kent Scientific Corp., Torrington, Conn.) at a respiratory rate of 40 strokes/min and peak inspiration pressure of 10 mmH2O, which was adjusted to keep blood gases and pH within the physiological range (iSTAT clinic analyzer, Heska Corp.; Waukesha, Wis.). The left femoral artery was cannulated for the measurement of blood pressure (BP). Blood samples were also withdrawn from femoral artery. The right external jugular vein was cannulated for drug/vehicle administration. Needle electrodes were inserted subcutaneously into the limbs for recording of the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). The heart was exposed via an incision in the 4th intercostal space (4th and/or 5th ribs were cut for a clear surgical vision). The chest was opened and a pericardial cradle was formed using 4 retractors. A coronary artery occluder, comprised of a snare made of 5 cm PE-10 tubing with a 6-0 Prolene polypropylene suture in it, was placed loosely around the left anterior descending artery (LAD) at its origin. Two unipolar electrodes, made with teflon coated silver wire attached to a small patch of filter paper, were attached on the surface of the ischemic and normal regions of the left ventricle to record epicardial electrocardiogram. Reference electrodes were placed in the open incision of the neck. The body temperature of the animal was monitored via a rectal thermometer and maintained at 37-40° C. by adjusting the surface temperature of the surgical table. Regional ischemia (15 min) was induced by ligating the LAD followed by 15 min of reperfusion caused by releasing the ligation. The heart was excised at the end of the experiment and the LAD was re-ligated. The ischemic area was visualized by perfusing the heart with 1% Evans blue in saline and calculated as a percentage of total ventricular weight. Rabbits with ischemic area less than 10% or larger than 25% were excluded from the analysis. Animals were randomly assigned to vehicle and test compound groups. Test compounds was dissolved in 5% NMP, 30% PG, 45% PEG 400 and 20% de-ionized water (dH2O). Test compound was given as an iv bolus at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg. After 30 min of dosing, the heart was subjected to 15 min of ischemia followed by 15 min of reperfusion.
Results
The compound of Example II-14 dose-dependently prevented the ischemia-induced ST elevation. The area under curve (AUC) for the ST segment height was reduced (vs. control) by 19% and 75% at 0.3 and 0.7 μM plasma concentration of compound of Example II-14. At the plasma concentration levels studied, compound of Example II-14 had no significant effect on blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and ECG intervals prior to the ischemia. The data suggests the compound of Example II-14 prevents ischemia-induced myocardial electrical dysfunction in a dose-dependent manner.
Example 261
Rabbit Heart (RHEART) MAPD90 ATX
Materials and Methods
New Zealand White female rabbits weighing 2.5-3.5 kg were used in this study. Animal use was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Gilead Sciences, Palo Alto. Each rabbit was sedated using an intramuscular administration of a mixture of 6 mg/kg xylazine and 40 mg/kg ketamine, and then anesthetized by i.v. administration of 15 mg/kg ketamine+4 mg/kg xylazine in 1.5 ml saline via the marginal ear vein. After anesthesia was complete, the thorax was quickly opened. The heart was excised and placed in a modified Krebs-Henseleit (K-H) solution at room temperature. The K—H solution contained (in mmol/L): NaCl 118, KCl 2.8, KH2PO4 1.2, CaCl2 2.5, MgSO4 0.5, pyruvate 2.0, glucose 5.5, Na2EDTA 0.57 and NaHCO3 25. The solution was continuously gassed with 95% O2 and 5% CO2, warmed to 36-36.5° C., and adjusted to pH 7.4. The aorta was rapidly catheterized and the heart was perfused by the method of Langendorff with K—H solution at a rate of 20 mL/min, using a roller pump (Gilson Minipuls3).
Coronary perfusion pressure was measured with a Biopac MP 150 pressure transducer from a side port of the aortic catheter and continuously recorded. To facilitate exit of fluid from the chamber of the left ventricle (LV), the leaflets of the mitral valve were trimmed with fine spring-handled scissors. The right atrial wall was partially removed to allow access to the right ventricular septum.
Complete AV block was induced by thermoablation of the AV nodal area. The spontaneous ventricular rate (i.e., the ventricular escape rhythm) was a few beats per minute after successful AV nodal ablation. A bipolar Teflon-coated electrode was placed on the right ventricular septum to pace the heart. Electrical stimuli 3 ms in width and 3-fold threshold amplitude were delivered to the pacing electrode at a frequency of 1 Hz throughout an experiment using a Grass S48 stimulator. After initiation of ventricular pacing, a 30-40 min delay was allowed for heart rhythm and perfusion pressure to achieve a steady state, an essential experimental condition for recording a good quality monophasic action potential (MAP).
Assay
The total duration of the experimental protocol was limited to 2.5 h, the time during which the preparation exhibited good stability. In experiments wherein compound concentration-response data were obtained, the compound was administered in increasing concentrations sequentially with no washout period between concentrations.
Responses were recorded after the effect of a given test drug (or drug concentration) had achieved a steady-state. Continuous left ventricular MAP and 12-lead pseudo-electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were recorded using electrodes from Harvard Apparatus, Inc. An MAP electrode was placed on the epicardial left ventricular free wall below the level of atrial-ventricular valves to record MAP signals from the base of the heart left ventricle. Electrode signals were amplified and displayed on an oscilloscope for visual monitoring throughout an experiment. The MAP duration (from onset of depolarization to 100% repolarization) was measured using an on-screen caliper throughout each drug infusion period, to ensure that each response to drug had achieved a steady state before a drug concentration was changed. Electronic signals were saved on a computer hard disk for subsequent analysis. The 12-lead pseudo-ECG was generated using an isolated-heart ECG apparatus (Harvard Apparatus) attached to Biopac amplifier system. MAPs, ECGs, and coronary perfusion pressure signals were appropriately amplified, filtered, and digitized in real time using a Biopac MP 150 signal processor and displayed on a computer screen. All signals were saved on a computer hard disk for subsequent analysis. Original MAP profiles were transferred into the software program Spike-II (Cambridge Electronic Design) to measure the duration of the MAP at the level at which repolarization is 90% completed (MAPD90).
Data Analysis
Data were plotted and analyzed using Prism version 5 (Graph Pad Software, San Diego, Calif.) and expressed as mean±SEM. The significance of differences of measurements before and after interventions in the same heart was determined by repeated measure one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Student-Newman-Kaul's test. When treatment values were obtained from different groups of hearts that were electrically paced at 1 Hz, two-way ANOVA with repeated measures was used. A paired or un-paired student t test was used to determine the statistical difference between values of two means obtained from the same or different experiments, respectively (see results in Table 2).
