Description



Throughout this application, various publications are referenced by full citations. The disclosures of these publications in their entireties are hereby incorporated by reference into this application in order to more fully describe the state of the art as known to those skilled therein as of the date of the invention described and claimed herein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Adenosine is an ubiquitous modulator of numerous physiological activities, particularly within the cardiovascular and nervous systems. The effects of adenosine appear to be mediated by specific cell surface receptor proteins. Adenosine modulates diverse physiological functions including induction of sedation, vasodilation, suppression of cardiac rate and contractility, inhibition of platelet aggregability, stimulation of gluconeogenesis and inhibition of lipolysis. In addition to its effects on adenylate cyclase, adenosine has been shown to open potassium channels, reduce flux through calcium channels, and inhibit or stimulate phosphoinositide turnover through receptor-mediated mechanisms (See for example, C. E. Muller and B. Stein "Adenosine Receptor Antagonists: Structures and Potential Therapeutic Applications," Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2:501 (1996) and C. E. Muller "A1-Adenosine Receptor Antagonists," Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 7(5):419 (1997)).

Adenosine receptors belong to the superfamily of purine receptors which are currently subdivided into P1 (adenosine) and P2 (ATP, ADP, and other nucleotides) receptors. Four receptor subtypes for the nucleoside adenosine have been cloned so far from various species including humans. Two receptor subtypes (A1 and A2a) exhibit affinity for adenosine in the nanomolar range while two other known subtypes A2b and A3 are low-affinity receptors, with affinity for adenosine in the low-micromolar range. A1 and A3 adenosine receptor activation can lead to an inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity, while A2a and A2b activation causes a stimulation of adenylate cyclase.

A few A1 antagonists have been developed for the treatment of cognitive disease, renal failure, and cardiac arrhythmias. It has been suggested that A2a antagonists may be beneficial for patients suffering from Morbus Parkinson (Parkinson's disease). Particularly in view of the potential for local delivery, adenosine receptor antagonists may be valuable for treatment of allergic inflammation and asthma. Available information (for example, Nyce & Metzger "DNA antisense Therapy for Asthma in an Animal Model" Nature (1997) 385: 721-5)indicates that in this pathophysiologic context, A1 antagonists may block contraction of smooth muscle underlying respiratory epithelia, while A2b or A3 receptor antagonists may block mast cell degranulation, mitigating the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. A2b receptors have been discovered throughout the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the colon and the intestinal epithelia. It has been suggested that A2b receptors mediate cAMP response (Strohmeier et al., J. Bio. Chem. (1995) 270:2387-94).

A2b receptors have also been implicated in wide variety of physiological activities, thereby suggesting that treatment of associated disorders can be effected by blocking the A2b receptor. For example, A2b receptor sites play a role in the degranulation of mast cells and hence in the treatment of asthma, myocardial reperfusion injury, allergic reactions including but not limited to rhinitis, poison ivy induced responses, urticaria, scleroderm arthritis, other autoimmune diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases (Gao, Z. et al., J. Biol. Chem. (1999), 274(9):5972-5980, Linden, J. et al., Life Sciences (1998), 62(17-18):1519-1524 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,117,878, issued Sep. 12, 2000). A2b receptors have also been shown to inhibit the growth of cardiac fibroblasts, thereby suggesting that they may prevent cardiac remodeling associated with hypertension, myocardial infarction and myocardial reperfusion after ischemia (Dubey, R. K. et al., Hypertension (2001), 37:716-721), mediate the role of adenosine in lymphocyte activation (Mirabet, M. et al., J. Cell. Sci. (1999), 112(4):491-502), regulate vasodilation and growth (Ralevic, V. and Burnstock, G., Pharmacol. Rev. (1998), 50(3):413-492, Corset, V. et al., Nature (2000), 407(6805):747-750, and Haynes, J. Jr. et al., Am. J. Physiol. (1999), 276(6):H1877-83), participate in neural reflexes in the human gut (Christofi, F. L. et al., J. Comp. Neurol. (2001), 439(1):46-64), and regulate retinal angiogenesis-thereby suggesting the use of A2b antagonists in treating diseases associated with abberant neovascularization such as diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity (Grant, M. B. et al., Invest. Opthalmol. Vis. Sci. (2001), 42(9):2068-2073). They are also involved in the modulation of intestinal tone and secretion and neurotransmission and neurosecretion (Feoktistov, I. and Biaggioni, I., Pharmacol. Rev. (1997), 49(4):381-402).

A2b receptors are also coupled to Gs/Gq signaling which has been shown to be involved in cellular transformations such as cellular invasion (Faivre, K. et al., Molecular Pharmacology (2001), 60:363-372 and Regnauld, K. et al., Oncogene (2002), 21(25):4020-4031), thereby suggesting that treatment of cancer can be effected with A2b antagonists.

Adenosine receptors have also been shown to exist on the retinas of various mammalian species including bovine, porcine, monkey, rat, guinea pig, mouse, rabbit and human (See, Blazynski et al., "Discrete Distributions of Adenosine Receptors in Mammalian Retina," Journal of Neurochemistry, volume 54, pages 648-655 (1990); Woods et al., "Characterization of Adenosine A1-Receptor Binding Sites in Bovine Retinal Membranes," Experimental Eye Research, volume 53, pages 325-331 (1991); and Braas et al., "Endogenous adenosine and adenosine receptors localized to ganglion cells of the retina," Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, volume 84, pages 3906-3910 (1987)). Recently, Williams reported the observation of adenosine transport sites in a cultured human retinal cell line (Williams et al., "Nucleoside Transport Sites in a Cultured Human Retinal Cell Line Established By SV-40 T Antigen Gene," Current Eye Research, volume 13, pages 109-118 (1994)).

Compounds which regulate the uptake of adenosine have previously been suggested as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of retinal and optic nerve head damage. In U.S. Pat. No. 5,780,450 to Shade, Shade discusses the use of adenosine uptake inhibitors for treating eye disorders. Shade does not disclose the use of specific A3 receptor inhibitors. The entire contents of U.S. Pat. No. 5,780,450 are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Compounds specific to the adenosine A1, A2a and A3 receptors and their uses thereof have been previously disclosed in PCT International Publication Nos. WO 99/62518 and WO 01/39777 A1. The entire contents of PCT International Publication Nos. WO 99/62518 and WO 01/39777 A1 are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

PCT International Publication No. WO 99/64407 generically discloses α-(1-piperazinyl)acetamido arenecarboxylic acid derivatives as antidaibetic agents. However, the compounds disclosed differ from the compounds of the present invention in that they have a carboxylic acid group rather than an amino group attached to the central ring. In addition, the cited application does not exemplify any compounds in which the central ring is pyrimidine or any compounds which have a phenyl ring or a heterocyclic ring attached to the central aryl ring.

PCT International Publication No. WO 97/47601 discloses fused heterocyclic compounds having D4 and D2 receptor activity. The disclosed compounds differ from the compounds of the present invention in that the central ring structure is bicyclic in WO 97/47601 rather than monocyclic as in the compounds of the present invention, and the central ring structure in WO 97/47601 does not allow for an additional aminoalkyl substituent.

Additional adenosine receptor antagonists are needed as pharmacological tools and are of considerable interest as drugs for the above-referenced disease states and/or conditions.
