CARBOXAMIDE DERIVATIVES AS ION CHANNEL MODULATORS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No.
60/874,206, filed December 11, 2006, the entire disclosure of which is
incorporated
herein by reference, and of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/874,102,

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present teachings relate to certain substituted benzamides and related
derivatives, processes for their preparation, and their use in therapeutic
treatments.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

All cells rely on the regulated movement of inorganic ions across cell
membranes to
perform essential physiological functions. Electrical excitability, synaptic
plasticity,
and signal transduction are examples of processes in which changes in ion
concentration play a critical role. In general, the ion channels that permit
these
changes are proteinaceous pores consisting of one or multiple subunits, each
containing two or more membrane-spanning domains. Most ion channels have
selectivity for specific ions, primarily Na+, K+, Ca2+, or CI-, by virtue of
physical
preferences for size and charge. Electrochemical forces, rather than active
transport,
drive ions across membranes, thus a single channel may allow the passage of
millions of ions per second. Channel opening, or "gating" is tightly
controlled by
changes in voltage or by ligand binding, depending on the subclass of channel.
Ion
channels are attractive therapeutic targets due to their involvement in so
many
physiological processes, yet the generation of drugs with specificity for
particular
channels in particular tissue types remains a major challenge.

Voltage-gated ion channels open in response to changes in membrane potential.
For
example, depolarization of excitable cells such as neurons results in a
transient influx
of Na+ ions, which propagates nerve impulses. This change in membrane
potential is


CA 02672239 2009-06-10
WO 2008/073936 PCT/US2007/087077
sensed by voltage-gated K+ channels, which then allow an efflux of K+ ions.
The
efflux of K+ ions repolarizes the membrane. Other cell types rely on voltage-
gated
Ca2+ channels to generate action potentials. Voltage-gated ion channels also
perform important functions in non-excitable cells, such as the regulation of
secretory, homeostatic, and mitogenic processes. Ligand-gated ion channels can
be
opened by extracellular stimuli such as neurotransmitters (e.g., glutamate,
serotonin,
and acetylcholine), or intracellular stimuli (e.g., cAMP, Ca2+, and
phosphorylation).
The Cav2 family of voltage-gated calcium channels consists of 3 main subtypes
Cav2.1 (P or Q-type calcium currents), Cav2.2 (N-type calcium currents), and
Cav2.3
(R-type calcium currents). These currents are found almost exclusively in the
central
nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS) and neuroendocrine
cells,
and constitute the predominant forms of presynaptic voltage-gated calcium
current.
Presynaptic calcium entry is modulated by many types of G-protein coupled
receptors (GPCRs) and modulation of Cav2 channels is a widespread and highly
efficacious means of regulating neurotransmission. The subunit composition of
the
Cav2 channels is defined by their a, subunit, which forms the pore and
contains the
voltage-sensing gates (a12.1, a12.2, and a12.3, also known as a,A, a,B, and
alE,
respectively) and the P and a2 subunits.

Genetic or pharmacological perturbations in ion channel function can have
dramatic
clinical consequences. Long QT syndrome, epilepsy, cystic fibrosis, and
episodic
ataxia are a few examples of heritable diseases resulting from mutations in
ion
channel subunits. Toxic side effects such as arrhythmia and seizure, which can
be
triggered by certain drugs, can be due to interference with ion channel
function
(Sirois, J.E. and Atchison, W.D. (1996), Neurotoxicology, 17(1): 63-84;
Keating, M.T.
(1996), Science, 272: 681-685). Drugs are useful for the therapeutic
modulation of
ion channel activity, and have applications in treatment of many pathological
conditions, including hypertension, angina pectoris, myocardial ischemia,
asthma,
bladder overactivity, alopecia, pain, heart failure, dysmenorrhea, type II
diabetes,
arrhythmia, graft rejection, seizure, convulsions, epilepsy, stroke, gastric
hypermotility, psychoses, cancer, muscular dystrophy, and narcolepsy (Coghlan,
M.J. et al. (2001), J. Med. Chem., 44: 1627-1653; Ackerman, M.J. and Clapham,
-2-


CA 02672239 2009-06-10
WO 2008/073936 PCT/US2007/087077
D.E. (1997), N. Eng. J. Med., 336: 1575-1586). The growing number of
identified ion
channels and understanding of their complexity will assist in future efforts
at
therapies, that can modify ion channel function.

Therapeutic modulation of Ca,2 channel activity has applications in treatment
of
many pathological conditions. All primary sensory afferents provide input to
neurons
in the dorsal horns of the spinal cord and in dorsal root ganglia neurons in
the dorsal
horn, and calcium influx through Cav2.2 channels triggers the release of
neurotransmitters from presynaptic nerve terminals in the spinal cord. Hence,
blockade of Cav2.2 channels is expected to be broadly efficacious because
these
channels are in a common pathway downstream from the wide variety of receptors
that mediate pain (Julius, D. and Basbaum, A.I. (2001), Nature, 413: 203-216).
Indeed, intrathecal injection of the Cav2.2-selective conotoxin ziconitide
(SNX-111)
has been shown to be effective against both neuropathic pain and inflammatory
pain
in animals and man (Bowersox, S.S. et al. (1996), J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther.,
279:
1243-1249). Ziconotide has also been shown to be effective as a
neuroprotective
agent in rat models of global or focal ischemia (Colburne, F. et al. (1999),
Stroke, 30:
662-668). Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that modulation of Cav2.2 can
have
implications in the treatment of neuroprotection and/or stroke.

Cav2.2 channels are found in the periphery and mediate catecholamine release
from
sympathetic neurons and adrenal chroffin cells. Some forms of hypertension
result
from elevated sympathetic tone. Cav2.2 modulators could be particularly
effective in
treating this disorder. Although complete block of Cav2.2 channels can cause
hypotension or impair baroreceptor reflexes, partial inhibition by Cav2.2
modulators
might reduce hypertension with minimal reflex tachycardia (Uneyama, O.D.
(1999),
Int. J. Mol. Med., 3: 455-466).

Overactive bladder (OAB) is characterized by storage symptoms such as urgency,
frequency, and nocturia, with or without urge incontinence, resulting from the
overactivity of the detrusor muscle in the bladder. OAB can lead to urge
incontinence. The etiology of OAB and painful bladder syndrome is unknown,
although disturbances in nerves, smooth muscle and urothelium can cause OAB
-3-


CA 02672239 2009-06-10
WO 2008/073936 PCT/US2007/087077
(Steers, W., Rev. Urol., 4: S7-S18). There is evidence to suggest that
reduction of
bladder hyperactivity may be indirectly effected by inhibition of Cav2.2
and/or Cav1
channels.

The localization of Cav2.1 channels in the superficial laminae of the dorsal
horn of the
spinal cord suggests involvement of these channels in the perception and
maintenance of certain forms of pain (Vanegas, H. and Schaible, H. (2000),
Pain, 85:
9-18). Complete elimination of Cav2.1 calcium currents alters synaptic
transmission,
resulting in severe ataxia. Gabapentin has been used clinically for many years
as an
add-on therapy for the treatment of epilepsy. In recent years, it has emerged
as a
leading treatment of neuropathic pain. Clinical trials have shown gabapentin
to be
effective for the treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy,
trigeminal
neuralgia, migrane and fibromyalgia (Mellegers, P.G. et al. (2001), Clin. J.
Pain, 17:
284-295). Gabapentin was designed as a metabologically stable GABA mimetic,
but
most studies find no effect on the GABA receptors. The a2b subunit of voltage-
gated
calcium channels has been identified as a high affinity binding site for
gabapentin in
the CNS. There is evidence that suggests that gabapentin could inhibit
neurotransmission in the spinal cord by interfering with the function of the
a2b
subunits, thereby inhibiting presynaptic calcium currents.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of formula (I), which can
have
an acidic moiety, can be formed using organic and inorganic bases. Both mono
and
polyanionic salts are contemplated, depending on the number of acidic
hydrogens
available for deprotonation. Suitable salts formed with bases include metal
salts,
such as alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts, for example sodium,
potassium, or
magnesium salts; ammonia salts and organic amine salts, such as those formed
with
morpholine, thiomorpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, a mono-, di- or tri-lower
alkylamine (e.g., ethyl-tert-butyl-, diethyl-, diisopropyl-, triethyl-,
tributyl- or
dimethylpropylamine), or a mono-, di-, or trihydroxy lower alkylamine (e.g.,
mono-, di-
or triethanolamine). Specific non-limiting examples of inorganic bases include
NaHCO3, Na2CO3, KHCO3, K2CO3, Cs2CO3, LiOH, NaOH, KOH, NaH2PO4, Na2HPO4,
and Na3PO4. Internal salts also can be formed. Similarly, when a compound
disclosed herein contains a basic moiety, salts can be formed using organic
and
inorganic acids. For example, salts can be formed from the following acids:
acetic,
benzenesulfonic, benzoic, camphorsulfonic, citric, dichloroacetic,
ethenesulfonic,
formic, fumaric, gluconic, glutamic, hippuric, hydrobromic, hydrochloric,
isethionic,
lactic, maleic, malic, malonic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, mucic,
napthalenesulfonic,
nitric, oxalic, pamoic, pantothenic, phosphoric, phthalic, propionic,
succinic, sulfuric,
tartaric, toluenesulfonic, and as well as other known pharmaceutically
acceptable
acids.

Pharmaceutically acceptable esters in the present invention refer to non-toxic
esters
of the compounds of formula (I), preferably the alkyl esters such as methyl,
ethyl,
propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl or pentyl esters, of which the methyl ester
is
preferred. However, other esters such as phenyl-C,_5 alkyl may be employed if
-60-


CA 02672239 2009-06-10
WO 2008/073936 PCT/US2007/087077
desired. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable esters include, but are not
limited
to, C2-C6 alkyl esters such as methyl esters and ethyl esters.
Pharmaceutically
acceptable esters include esters made with aliphatic carboxylic acids,
preferably
those with a linear chain of between two and six carbon atoms, preferably
acetic
acid, and made with aromatic carboxylic acids, e.g. C7_12 acids such as
benzoic acid.
The aliphatic and aromatic acids may optionally be substituted by one or more
C,_a
alkyl groups.

Also provided in accordance with the present teachings are prodrugs of the
compounds disclosed herein. As used herein, "prodrug" refers to a moiety that
produces, generates or releases a compound of the present teachings when
administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs can be prepared by modifying
functional groups present in the compounds in such a way that the
modifications are
cleaved, either by routine manipulation or in vivo, from the parent compounds.
Examples of prodrugs include compounds as described herein that contain one or
more molecular moieties appended to a hydroxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, or carboxyl
group of the compound, and that when administered to a mammalian subject, is
cleaved in vivo to form the free hydroxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, or carboxyl
group,
respectively. Examples of prodrugs can include, but are not limited to,
acetate,
formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups in the
compounds of the present teachings. Preparation and use of prodrugs is
discussed
in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, "Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems," Vol. 14 of
the
A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed.
Edward
B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, the
entire disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein for all
purposes.

Carboxylic acid amide compounds of formula (I) in accordance with the present
invention can be prepared as outlined in the schemes below and as illustrated
in the
examples, from (a) commercially available starting materials, (b) compounds
known
in the literature, or readily prepared intermediates using literature
procedures, or (c)
new intermediates described in the schemes and experimental procedures herein.

Standard synthetic methods and procedures for the preparation of organic
molecules
and functional group transformations and manipulations can be readily obtained
from
the relevant scientific literature or from standard textbooks in the field. 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 one
skilled in the art can determine such conditions by routine optimization
procedures.
Those skilled in the art of organic synthesis will recognize that the nature
and order
of the synthetic steps presented may be varied for the purpose of optimizing
the
formation of the compounds described herein.

Reactions are performed in a solvent appropriate to the reagents and materials
employed and suitable for the transformation being effected. Suitable solvents
typically are substantially nonreactive with the reactants, intermediates,
and/or
products at the temperatures at which the reactions are carried out, i.e.,
temperatures that can range from the solvent's freezing temperature to the
solvent's
boiling temperature. A given reaction can be carried out in one solvent or a
mixture
of more than one solvent. Depending on the particular reaction step, suitable
solvents for a particular reaction step can be selected. One skilled in the
art of
organic synthesis can readily selected suitable solvents.

It is understood by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the
various
functionalities present on the molecule must be consistent with the chemical
transformation proposed. This may necessitate routine judgment as to the order
of
synthetic steps, and the need for protecting groups for remote
functionalities. One
skilled in the art can readily determine the need for protection and
deprotection and
select appropriate protecting groups. The chemistry of protecting groups can
be
found, for example, in Greene, et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis,
2d.
Ed., Wiley & Sons, 1991, the entire disclosure of which is herein incorporated
by
reference.

The processes described herein can be monitored according to any suitable
method
known in the art. For example, product formation can be monitored by
spectroscopic
means, such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (e.g., 'H or13C),
infrared
spectroscopy, spectrophotometry (e.g., UV-visible), or mass spectrometry, or
by
chromatography such as high performance liquid chromatograpy (HPLC) or thin
layer
chromatography.

In the schemes provided herein, unless expressed to the contrary, variables in
chemical formulae are as defined in other formulae herein. For example, Ar,
R1, R2,
R3, X and n in the schemes are defined as in any of the formulae herein,
except
where defined otherwise in the schemes.

One method for preparing compounds of formula (I) where X is a covalent bond
involves the coupling of an aryl acid or acid derivative (II) with an
appropriate amine

their
derivatives are commercially available or can otherwise be prepared by
literature
methods.

Examples of activated acid derivatives include, for example, acid chlorides,
esters,
acylimidazoles, anhydrides; these activated acid derivatives can be generated
in situ

In this scheme, an acid halide, anhydride or activated acid derivative (VI) is
reacted
with the appropriate amine (R2-NH2) to provide the amide (VII). Alkylation of
the
resulting amide (VII) with a compound of formula (VIII) provides the
substituted

can
otherwise be readily synthesized. Displacement of the leaving group on the
substituted amide (IX) with the desired R3 group provides a compound of
Formula (I).

compound (XI) with the appropriate amine (R3, wherein R3 is NRfRg) provides
the
amine-substituted aryl derivative (XII). Alternatively, alkylation of the
protected amine

conditions
provides the desired amine (III).

In this scheme, a substituted acid halide, anhydride or activated carboxylic
acid
derivative (Xllla or Xlllb) is reacted with the appropriate amine R2-NH2 to
provide the
amide (XIVa or XIVb). In the case of amide (XIVb), displacement of the leaving
group (LG) with the appropriate amine (R3, wherein R3 is NRfRg) provides amide
(XIVa). Finally, the amide (XIVa) is reduced under standard conditions to
provide the
desired amine (III).

A third approach commences with a substituted aryl compound (XV), as

provides the aryl aldehyde (la). Reductive amination with the appropriate
amine (R2-

Evaluation of representative compounds according to embodiments of this
invention
indicated that the compounds of the present teachings can modulate the
activity of
ion channels in a mammal, for example, Cav2.2 voltage-gated calcium channels.

A variety of pathological conditions, states, disorders or diseases can be
treated by
modulating the activity of certain ion channels. As used herein, "ion channel
mediated condition" refers to any condition or pathological state of a mammal
or any
disease present in a mammal that can be treated, or the symptoms of which can
be
alleviated, by modulation of the activity of one or more ion channels such as
Cav2.2
voltage-gated calcium channels. An ion channel mediated condition can be
attributed to the abnormal functioning of one or more ion channels. An ion

As used herein, the term "chronic pain" refers to centralized or peripheral
pain that is
intense, localized, sharp, or stinging, and/or dull, aching, diffuse, or
burning in nature
and that occurs for extended periods of time (i.e., persistent and/or
regularly
reoccurring), including, for the purpose of the present invention, neuropathic
pain and
cancer pain. Chronic pain includes neuropathic pain, hyperalgesia, and/or
allodynia.
One skilled in the art will also recognize that at least some of the types of
pain
described above can be attributed to a condition associated with the abnormal
activity of one or more ion channels such as, but not limited to, the abnormal
regulation of glutamate.The present teachings therefore include methods of
administering to a mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a compound
disclosed herein. As used herein, "administer" or "administering" refers to
either
directly administering a compound of the present teachings or a pharmaceutical
composition containing the compound, or administering the compound or
pharmaceutical composition indirectly via a prodrug derivative or analog which
will
form an equivalent amount of the active compound or substance within the body.
The methods also can include identifying a mammal in need of such treatment,
and
administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound disclosed
herein to
the mammal in need thereof. As used herein, "therapeutically effective" refers
to a
substance or an amount that elicits a desirable biological activity or effect.

In some embodiments, the method includes administering to a mammal a
pharmaceutical composition that comprises a compound disclosed herein in
combination or association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The
compound of the present teachings can be administered alone or in combination
with
other therapeutically effective compounds or therapies for the treatment of
such
condition(s). For example, the other therapeutically effective compounds can
include
a cardiovascular disease agent and/or a nervous system disease agent. A
nervous
system disease agent can be a peripheral nervous system (PNS) disease agent
and/or a central nervous (CNS) disease agent.

the present teachings relate to methods of modulating the activity of an ion
channel
such as a Cav2.2 voltage-gated calcium channel that include in vitro or in
vivo
administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of one or more compounds
of
formula (I). As used herein, "pharmaceutically effective" refers to an amount
that can
elicit an intended biological activity or effect.

When administered for the treatment or inhibition of a particular disease
state or
disorder, it is understood that an effective dosage can vary depending upon
the
particular compound utilized, the mode of administration, and severity of the
condition being treated, as well as the various physical factors related to
the
individual being treated. In therapeutic applications, a compound of the
present
teachings can be provided to a patient already suffering from a disease in an
amount
sufficient to treat the symptoms of the disease and its complications. The
dosage to
be used in the treatment of a specific individual typically must be
subjectively
determined by the attending physician. The variables involved include the
specific
condition and its state as well as the size, age and response pattern of the
patient.
The present teachings also provide pharmaceutical compositions comprising at
least
one compound described herein and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable
carriers, excipients, or diluents. Examples of such carriers are well known to
those
skilled in the art and can be prepared in accordance with acceptable
pharmaceutical
procedures, such as, for example, those described in Remington's
Pharmaceutical
Sciences, 17th edition, ed. Alfonoso R. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Company,
Easton,

cetomacrogol emulsifying wax, sorbitan esters, colloidol silicon dioxide,
phosphates,
sodium dodecylsulfate, magnesium aluminum silicate, and triethanolamine. Oral
formulations herein can utilize standard delay or time-release formulations to
alter the
absorption of the active compound(s). The oral formulation can also consist of
administering an active compound in water or fruit juice, containing
appropriate
solubilizers or emulisifiers as needed.

Liquid carriers can be used in preparing solutions, suspensions, emulsions,
syrups,
and elixirs. An active compound described herein can be dissolved or suspended
in
a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier such as water, an organic
solvent, or a
mixture of both, or pharmaceutically acceptable oils or fats. The liquid
carrier can
contain other suitable pharmaceutical additives such as solubilizers,
emulsifiers,

Examples of
liquid carriers for oral and parenteral administration include, but are not
limited to,
water (particularly containing additives as described above, e.g., cellulose
derivatives
such as a sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution), alcohols (including
monohydric
alcohols and polyhydric alcohols, e.g., glycols) and their derivatives, and
oils (e.g.,
fractionated coconut oil and arachis oil). For parenteral administration, the
carrier
can be an oily ester such as ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate. Sterile
liquid
carriers are used in sterile liquid form compositions for parenteral
administration.
The liquid carrier for pressurized compositions can be halogenated hydrocarbon
or
other pharmaceutically acceptable propellants.

Liquid pharmaceutical compositions, which are sterile solutions or
suspensions, can
be utilized by, for example, intrathecal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal or
subcutaneous injection. Sterile solutions can also be administered
intravenously.
Compositions for oral administration can be in either liquid or solid form.

Preferably the pharmaceutical composition is in unit dosage form, for example,
as
tablets, capsules, powders, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, granules, or
suppositories. In such form, the pharmaceutical composition can be sub-divided
in
unit dose(s) containing appropriate quantities of the active compound. The
unit
-74-


CA 02672239 2009-06-10
WO 2008/073936 PCT/US2007/087077
dosage forms can be packaged compositions, for example, packeted powders,
vials,
ampoules, prefilled syringes or sachets containing liquids. Alternatively, the
unit
dosage form can be a capsule or tablet itself, or it can comprise the
appropriate
number of any such compositions in package form. Such unit dosage form may
contain from about 1 mg/kg of active compound to about 500 mg/kg of active
compound, and can be given in a single dose or in two or more doses. Such
doses
can be administered in any manner useful in directing the active compound(s)
to the
recipient's bloodstream, including orally, via implants, parenterally
(including
intravenous, intraperitoneal and subcutaneous injections), rectally,
vaginally, and
transdermally. Such administrations can be carried out using the compounds of
the
present teachings including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in
lotions,
creams, foams, patches, suspensions, solutions, and suppositories (e.g.,
rectal and
vaginal).

In some cases, it may be desirable to administer a compound directly to the
airways
of the patient in the form of a dry powder or an aerosol. For administration
by
intranasal or intrabronchial inhalation, the compounds of the present
teachings can
be formulated, for example, into an aqueous or partially aqueous solution.

Compounds described herein can be administered enterally or parenterally (such
as,
without limitation, interperitoneal, intramuscular, intravascular,
intrathecal, intra-
articular or subcuteaneous injection or infusion). Solutions or suspensions of
these
active compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be prepared
in
water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxyl-propylcellulose.
Dispersions
can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures
thereof in
oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations
typically
contain a preservative to inhibit the growth of microorganisms.

The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injection can include sterile aqueous
solutions
or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of
sterile
injectable solutions or dispersions. In preferred embodiments, the form is
sterile and
its viscosity permits it to flow through a syringe. The form preferably is
stable under
the conditions of manufacture and storage and can be preserved against the
-75-


CA 02672239 2009-06-10
WO 2008/073936 PCT/US2007/087077
contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier
can
be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol,
polyol
(e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable
mixtures
thereof, and vegetable oils.

Compounds described herein can be administered transdermally, i.e.,
administered
across the surface of the body and the inner linings of bodily passages
including
epithelial and mucosal tissues. Such administration can be carried out using
the
compounds of the present teachings including pharmaceutically acceptable salts
thereof, in lotions, creams, foams, patches, suspensions, solutions, and
suppositories (e.g., rectal and vaginal). Topical formulations that deliver
active
compound(s) through the epidermis can be useful for localized treatment of
inflammation and arthritis.

Transdermal administration can be accomplished through the use of a
transdermal
patch containing an active compound and a carrier that can be inert to the
active
compound, can be non-toxic to the skin, and can allow delivery of the active
compound for systemic absorption into the blood stream via the skin. The
carrier can
take any number of forms such as creams and ointments, pastes, gels, and
occlusive
devices. The creams and ointments can be viscous liquid or semisolid emulsions
of
either the oil-in-water or water-in-oil type. Pastes comprised of absorptive
powders
dispersed in petroleum or hydrophilic petroleum containing the active compound
can
also be suitable. A variety of occlusive devices can be used to release the
active
compound into the blood stream, such as a semi-permeable membrane covering a
reservoir containing the active compound with or without a carrier, or a
matrix
containing the active compound. Other occlusive devices are known in the
literature.

Compounds described herein can be administered into a body cavity, (e.g.,
rectally
or vaginally) in the form of a conventional suppository. Suppository
formulations can
be made from traditional materials, including cocoa butter, with or without
the
addition of waxes to alter the suppository's melting point, and glycerin.
Water-soluble
suppository bases, such as polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights,
can
also be used.

Lipid formulations or nanocapsules can be used to introduce compounds of the
present teachings into host cells either in vitro or in vivo. Lipid
formulations and
nanocapsules can be prepared by methods known in the art. For example, the
compounds described herein can be administered in the form of liposomes. As is
known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other
lipid
substances, and are formed by mono or multilamellar hydrated liquid crystals
that are
dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any nontoxic, pharmacologically acceptable
lipid
capable of forming liposomes can be used.

To increase the effectiveness of compounds of the present teachings, it can be
desirable to combine a compound with other agents effective in the treatment
of the
target disease. For inflammatory diseases, other active compounds (i.e., other
active
ingredients or agents) effective in their treatment, and particularly in the
treatment of
asthma and arthritis, can be administered with active compounds of the present
teachings. The other agents can be administered at the same time or at
different
times than the compounds disclosed herein.

It should be understood that the order of steps or order for performing
certain actions
is immaterial so long as the present teachings remain operable. Moreover, two
or
more steps or actions may be conducted simultaneously.

Compounds described herein can contain an asymmetric atom (also referred as a
chiral center), and some of the compounds can contain one or more asymmetric
atoms or centers, which can thus give rise to optical isomers (enantiomers)
and
diastereomers. The present teachings and compounds disclosed herein include
such optical isomers (enantiomers) and diastereomers (geometric isomers), as
well
as the racemic and resolved, enantiomerically pure R and S stereoisomers, as
well
as other mixtures of the R and S stereoisomers and pharmaceutically acceptable
salts thereof. Optical isomers can be obtained in pure form by standard
procedures
known to those skilled in the art, which include, but are not limited to,
diastereomeric
salt formation, kinetic resolution, and asymmetric synthesis. The present

Oocyte Assay

This assay was essentially performed as described in Lin et al. (1997), Neuron
18(11): 153-166; Pan J. and Lipsombe D. (2000), J. Neurosci.,20(13): 4768-75;
and
Xu W. and Lipscombe D. (2001), J. Neurosci., 21(16): 5944-5951, the entire
disclosures of which are herein incorporated by reference, using Xenopus
oocyte
heterologeous expression system. The assay was performed on various calcium
channels (e.g., Cav2.2 subfamily) whereby the modulation of the calcium
channel
was measured for each tested compound. For measuring compound potency on
Cav2.2, a train of five depolarizing pulses of 20-30 ms to about +10 mV was
applied
at a frequency of 5 Hz from a holding potential of -100 mV every 30 seconds.
The
50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the test compounds was calculated by
measuring the current obtained at the fifth pulse (P5).

HEK Assay

HEK-293T/17 cells were transiently transfected in a similar manner as
described in
FuGENE 6 Package Insert Version 7, April 2002, Roche Applied Science,
Indianapolis, IN. The cells were plated at 2.5 x 105 cells in 2 mL in a 6-well
plate,
incubated for one night, and achieved a -30-40% confluence. In a small sterile
tube,
sufficient serum-free medium was added as diluent for FuGENE Transfection
Reagent (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN) to a total volume of 100 pL.
To
this medium was added 3 pL of FuGENE 6 Reagent. The mixture was tapped gently
to mix. To the prediluted FuGENE 6 Reagent was added 2 pg of DNA solution (0.8-

2.0 pg/pL). The DNA/Fugene 6 mixture was gently pipeted to mix the contents
and
incubated for about 15 minutes at room temperature. The complex mixture was
then
added to the HEK-293T/17 cells, distributed around the well, and swirled to
ensure
even dispersal. The cells were returned to the incubator for 24 hours. The
transfected cells were then replated at density 2.5 x 105 in a 35 mm dish with
5 glass
coverslips and grew in low serum (1%) media for 24 hours. Coverslips with
isolated
cells were then transferred into a chamber, and calcium channel (e.g., L-type,
N-type,
etc.) current or other currents for counter screening were recorded from the
transiently transfected HEK-293T/17 cells.

The whole-cell voltage clamp configuration of the patch clamp technique was
employed to evaluate voltage-dependent calcium currents essentially as
described
by Thompson and Wong (1991), J. Physiol., 439: 671-689, the entire disclosure
of
which is herein incorporated by reference. To record calcium channel (e.g., L-
type,
N-type, etc.) currents for evaluation of inhibitory potency of compounds
(steady-state
concentration-response analysis), five pulses of 20-30 ms voltage steps to
about +10
mV (the peak of the current voltage relationship) were delivered at five Hz
every 30
second from a holding potential at -100mV. In order to obtain an estimate of
the
degree of use-dependent block of the test compounds, IC50 values were
determined
at the first and fifth pulse of the train (P, and P5, respectively, in Table
2). Compound
evaluations were carried out essentially as described by Sah D.W. and Bean
B.P.
(1994), Mol. Pharmacol., 45:84-92, the entire disclosure of which is herein
incorporated by reference.

FLIPR Assay

TSA201 cells stably transfected with human Cav2.2 (composed of the subunits
al,
03 and a26) and human Kir2.3 to enhance the FLIPR Ca2+ signal were used. These
cells were plated on 384-well collagen-coated plates (BD Bioscience, Franklin
Lakes,
NJ) at a density of 2x104 cells/well one day prior to the FLIPR assay. For
each assay
plate, FLUO-4 dye (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was diluted in 12 mL of
Dulbecco's
Modified Eagle's Medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) to a final concentration of
4 M in
the presence of Pluronic F-127 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Culture media is
removed
and replaced with 25 l of the FLUO-4 dye solution and incubated for one hour
at
room temperature. The cell plate is then placed on the FLIPR where the dye is
aspirated off and replaced with 25 l of HBSS (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). The
HBSS
is then aspirated and replaced with 25 l of compound which is diluted in HBSS
with
1% DMSO. Compounds are incubated on the cells for 15 minutes. The cells are
then depolarized with 25 l of 140mM KCI solution (also containing 2mM CaCl2
and
10mM HEPES). The final concentration of KCI on the cells is 70mM.
