Patent ID: 8865739

Claim:
A method of treating a disease state in a human that is alleviable by treatment with an agent capable of reducing late sodium current, wherein the disease state is a cardiovascular disease selected from atrial arrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, congestive heart failure, diastolic heart failure, systolic heart failure, acute heart failure, Prinzmetal's variant angina, stable angina, unstable angina, exercise induced angina, congestive heart disease, ischemia, recurrent ischemia, reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, peripheral arterial disease, intermittent claudication, diabetes and diabetic peripheral neuropathy, comprising administering to said human in need thereof, a therapeutically effective dose of a compound of Formula (I): wherein: R 1 is amino or alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms optionally substituted by halo, alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms, or phenoxy optionally substituted by 1, 2, or 3 substituents independently chosen from halo, alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, and alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms; or R 1 is alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms substituted by —NR 6 R 7 , in which R 6 and R 7 are independently chosen from hydrogen or alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, or R 6 and R 7 when combined with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached is a nitrogen-bearing heterocyclyl or heteroaryl group; R 2 is alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, phenyl, or heteroaryl, all of which are optionally substituted by halo, alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, hydroxyl, cyano, alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms, or —C(O)R, in which R is alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms or —NR 6 R 7 , in which R 6 and R 7 are independently chosen from hydrogen or alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms; R 3 , R 4 , and R 5 are independently chosen from hydrogen, halo, alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, hydroxyl, cyano, or alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms; X is a covalent bond, cyano, —C(O)—, —C(O)O—, —CH(OH)—, or —C(O)NR 6 R 7 ; Y is a covalent bond, alkylene of 1-6 carbon atoms, heterocyclyl, or heteroaryl; Z is a covalent bond, hydrogen, phenyl, benzyl, or cycloalkyl of 3-8 carbon atoms, all of which are optionally substituted by phenyl or heteroaryl, both of which are optionally substituted by 1, 2, or 3 substituents independently chosen from halo, alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms, and —C(O)R 8 , where R 8 is alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms, or —NR 6 R 7 , in which R 6 and R 7 are independently chosen from hydrogen or alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms; or Z is phenyl optionally substituted by 1, 2, or 3 substituents independently chosen from halo, alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms optionally substituted by heteroaryl, and alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms; with the proviso that X, Y and Z cannot all be covalent bonds; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, prodrug, or solvate thereof.
