Abstract
The present invention provides neuronal gap junction blocking compounds according to formula (I) or a hydrate, solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: wherein the integers Q, R2, A, R1, Z1, Z2, and Z3 are as defined in claim 1. The compounds are useful for the treatment or prevention of a range of conditions including, e.g., migraine, epilepsy, non-epileptic seizures, brain injury, and cardiovascular disease.
Claims25
A compound according to formula (I) or a hydrate, solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:
- wherein
- Z1, Z2, and Z3 are each independently selected from H, F, or Cl,
- Q is O,
- R2 is H,
- A is a direct bond, —C(O)O*—, C(R3)(R4)O*—, —C(O)NH* wherein the atom marked * is directly connected to R1,
- R3 and R4 are selected independently from H, fluoro, C1-4 alkyl, or C1-4 fluoroalkyl, or R3 and R4 together with the atom to which they are attached form a cyclopropyl group,
- R1 is selected from any one of the groups [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] or [10] wherein the atom marked ** is directly connected to A:
- n is 0, 1, 2, or 3,
- R5 is hydrogen,
- R6 is selected from —CH2CH(OH)CH2OH, or —CH2CH2R9,
- R7 and R7b are independently selected from H, C1-4 alkyl, or C1-4 fluoroalkyl,
- R8 and R8b are selected from:
- (i) H, C1-4 alkyl, or C1-4 fluoroalkyl, or
- (ii) the side chain of a natural or unnatural alpha-amino acid,
- or R7 and R8 together with the atom to which they are attached form a C3-7 carbocyclic ring,
- R9 is selected from —N(R11)(R12), or —N+ (R11)(R12)(R13)X−, N(R11)C(O)R14, —SO3H, or —OP(O)(OH)2,
- wherein R11, R12, and R13 are independently selected from H, C1-4 alkyl, or C1-4 fluoroalkyl, or
- R11 and R12 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a 4-7 membered heterocyclic ring optionally substituted with one or more groups selected from H, fluoro, C1-4 alkyl, C1-4 fluoroalkyl, C1-4 alkoxy, or —C(O)R3,
- or in the case where R1 is group [7], R9 is —NR11R12, wherein R11 is hydrogen, C1-4 alkyl, or C1-4 fluoroalkyl, and R12 is C1-4 alkyl, or C1-4 fluoroalkyl, and R12 joins together with R8b such that R12 and R8b together with the nitrogen to which R12 is attached form a 5 or 6 membered cyclic amine group,
- R14 is H, C1-4 alkyl, or C1-4 fluoroalkyl,
- X− is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion,
- R15 is 3-pyridyl or 1,4-dihydro-1-methyl-pyridin-3-yl,
- Y is —O—, —CH2—, —N(H)—, or —N(CH3)—.
