in which R1 to R9, X, m and n are as defined below. The compounds of the formula I are inhibitors of the acid-sensitive potassium channel TASK-1 and suitable for the treatment of TASK-1 channel-mediated diseases such as arrhythmias, in particular atrial arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, and respiratory disorders, in particular sleep-related respiratory disorders like sleep apnea, for example.


Potassium channels are widespread membrane proteins which, owing to their influences on cell membrane potentials, play an important role in many physiological processes. Within the various classes of the potassium channels; a distinction is drawn on the basis of their molecular structure between three large groups which are characterized by the number of transmembrane domains, which is 2, 4 or 6. The group of the potassium channels with four transmembrane segments is delimited from the two others in that their representatives each have two pore domains, which is why these channels are also referred to as K2P channels (Coetzee W. J. et al., Molecular diversity of K+ channels, Ann. New York Acad. Sci. 1999, 868, 233-285). In functional terms, K2P channels are characterized in that the “leak” or “background” currents flow through them, which play an important role for the resting membrane potential and hence the excitability of nerve or muscle cells.


A family which is of particular interest among the K2P channels is that of the TASK channels (tandem of P domains in a weak inwardly rectifying K+ channel-(TWIK-)-related acid-sensitive K+ channels), which include the TASK-1, TASK-3, and TASK-5 subtype (Bayliss D. A. et al., Emerging roles for two-pore-domain potassium channels and their potential therapeutic impact, Trends in Pharmacological Sciences 2008, 29, 586-575), Other terms used in the literature for the underlying genes are KCNK3 or K2P3.1 (TASK-1), KCNK9 or K2P9.1 (TASK-3) and KCNK15 or K2P15.1 (TASK-5). The greatest homology within this family is possessed by the TASK-1 and TASK-3 channels with an amino acid identity of more than 50%. Dimerization of K2P channels forms functional potassium channels with a total of four pore units. The currents which flow through these channels are referred to in the literature as IKso current. In addition to a homodimerization of, for example, two TASK-1 or two TASK-3 proteins, heterodimerization of TASK-1 and TASK-3 is also possible in this context (Berg A. P. et al., Motoneurons express Heteromeric TWIK-related acid-sensitive K+ (TASK) Channels containing TASK-1 (KCNK3) and TASK-3 (KCNK9) subunits, J. Neuroscience 2004, 24, 6693-6702).


The TASK channels are notable in particular for their very strong dependence upon the extracellular pH in the physiological range (ca. 6.5-7.5). The channels are inhibited at acidic pH and activated at alkaline pH. Owing to this pH dependence, the physiological function of a sensor which translates small changes in the extracellular pH to corresponding cellular signals is ascribed to the TASK channels (Duprat F. et al., TASK, a human background K+ channel to sense external pH variations near physiological pH, EMBO J. 1997, 16, 5464-5471; Patel A. J. et al., Properties and modulation of mammalian 2P domain K+ channels, Trends Neurosciences 2001, 24, 339-346).


TASK-1 knock-out mice show a mild phenotype and appear generally in good health and show normal breeding behavior (Aller M. I. et al., Modifying the Subunit Composition of TASK Channels Alters the Modulation of a Leak Conductance in Cerebellar Granule Neurons, J. Neuroscience 2005, 25, 11455-11467).


TASK-1 is expressed in the brain and also in spinal ganglia and some peripheral tissues, for example pancreas, placenta, uterus, lung, heart, kidney, small intestine and stomach. In addition, TASK-1 has been detected in the chemosensitive cells of the brainstem and of the carotid bodies, and also the motor neurons of the hypoglossal nerve (Medhurst A. D. et al., Distribution analysis of human two pore domain potassium channels in tissues of the central nervous system and periphery, Mol. Brain Res. 2001, 86, 101-114).


Electrical currents which are caused by TASK-1 potassium channel have been detected in motor neurons of the hypoglossal nerve, a motor cranial nerve which possesses the most important function for the maintenance and patency of the upper respiratory pathways, mastication, swallowing, phonation and speech, and locus coeruleus. Moreover, TASK-1 potassium channels have been found in other cranial and spinal motoneurons (Lazarenko R. M. et al., Motoneuronal TASK Channels Contribute to Immobilizing Effects of Inhalational General Anesthetics, J. Neuroscience 2010, 30, 7691-7704). It has been found that TASK-1 channels are involved in respiratory regulation in respiratory neurons of the brainstem, in carotid bodies and in motor neurons of the hypoglossal nerve, and also in neuroepithelial cells of the lung. In the event of inadequate respiration (hypoxia, hindered breathing) and in the event of physical stress, either via a rise in the carbon dioxide concentration and the resulting acidosis or via acidic metabolites, there is a lowering of the pH and hence a blockage of the pH-dependent TASK-1 channels. This depolarizes the cells, which leads to the activation of the neurons involved in the respiratory regulation (Buckler K. J. et al., An oxygen-, acid- and anesthetic-sensitive TASK-like background potassium channel in rat arterial chemoreceptor cells, J. Physiol. 2000, 525.1, 135-142; Bayliss D. A. et al., TASK-1 is a highly modulated pH-sensitive ‘leak’ K+ channel expressed in brainstem respiratory neurons, Respiration Physiology 2001, 129, 159-174).


An increase in the activity of chemosensitive neurons in conjunction with an activation of the motor neurons of the hypoglossal nerve through blockage of the TASK-1 channel can stimulate respiration and simultaneously stabilize the upper airways to protect them from collapse and occlusion. Moreover, snoring can be inhibited by stabilizing the upper airway via an increase in pharyngeal muscle activity. The blockage of the TASK-1 ion channels is therefore useful in the treatment of respiratory disorders, for example of sleep apnea (WO 2007/124849).


Activation of the motor neurons of the hypoglossal nerve and other cranial motoneurons through blockage of the TASK-1 channel can also improve swallowing, and is therefore useful for the treatment of dysphagia and disturbed mastication, speech and facial muscles function in diseases where these functions are impaired, which is the case in many different neurodegenerative, neuromuscular and muscular diseases, dementia and in old age. Equally, in the diseases mentioned, blockage of the TASK-1 channel in spinal motoneurons can improve peripheral motor function of the limbs, for example in the case of paresis, and trunk reducing the degree of the motor disability.


In cultivated granulosa cells of the cerebellum, it has been shown that genetic inactivation of TASK channels brings about a neuroprotective action (Lauritzen I. et al., K+-dependent cerebellar granule neuron apoptosis—Role of Task leak K+ channels, J. Biol. Chem. 2003, 278, 32068-32076). It has also been shown that TASK-1 channels are responsible for programmed cell death (apoptosis) in granulosa cells, and that the cell death can be prevented by blocking the TASK-3. Thus, specific inhibitors of TASK-1 and/or TASK-3 channels are useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders (Patel A. J. et al., The 2P-domain K+ channels: role in apoptosis and tumorigenesis, Pflugers Arch.—Eur. J. Physiol. 2004, 448, 261-273).


TASK-1 has been identified as potassium conductance on T lymphocytes critically influencing T cell effector function, and identified as a possible molecular target for immunomodulation in T cell-mediated autoimmune disorders (Meuth S. G. et al., TWIK-related Acid-sensitive K+ Channel 1 (TASK1) and TASK3 Critically Influence T Lymphocyte Effector Functions, J. Biol. Chem. 2008, 283, 14559-14570). It has been stated that TASK-1 is relevant for setting the resting membrane potential and balancing neuronal excitability that is expressed on T cells and neurons, and is a key modulator of T cell immunity and neurodegeneration in autoimmune central nervous system inflammation. After induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, on experimental model mimicking multiple sclerosis, TASK-1(−/−) mice showed a significantly reduced clinical severity and markedly reduced axonal degeneration compared with wild-type controls. T cells from TASK-1(−/−) mice displayed impaired T cell proliferation and cytokine production, while the immune repertoire is otherwise normal. In addition to these effects on systemic T cell responses, TASK-1 exhibits an independent neuroprotective effect which was demonstrated using both a model of acutely prepared brain slices cocultured with activated T cells as well as in vitro cultivation experiments with isolated optic nerves. Preventive blockade of TASK-1 significantly ameliorated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis after immunization and significantly reduced disease severity and was capable of lowering progressive loss of brain parenchymal volume as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Thus, TASK-1 blockers are useful for the therapy of inflammatory and degenerative central nervous system disorders (Bittner S. et al., TASK1 modulates inflammation and neurodegeneration in autoimmune inflammation of the central nervous system, Brain: a journal of neurology 2009, 132, 2501-2516).


TASK-1, a member of two-pore-domain (K2P) potassium channel family, has emerged as a target for the pharmacological treatment, of atrial fibrillation recently. Two-pore-domain (K2P) potassium channels mediate background potassium currents, stabilizing resting membrane potential and expediting action potential repolarization. In the heart, TASK-1 channels have been shown to play a role in cardiac repolarization (Donner B. C. et al., Functional role of TASK-1 in the heart: studies in TASK-1-deficient mice show prolonged cardiac repolarization and reduced heart rate variability. Basic Res. Cardiol. 2011, 108, 75-87; Putzke C. et al., The acid-sensitive potassium channel TASK-1 in rat cardiac muscle, Cardiovascular Research 2007, 75, 59-68).


Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter are very common cardiac rhythm disorders that cause substantial morbidity and contribute to mortality (Wakili R. et al., Recent advances in the molecular pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation, J. Clin. Invest. 2011: 121, 2955-2988). Presently available therapeutic approaches have major limitations, including limited efficacy and potentially serious side effects sued as malignant ventricular arrhythmia induction or negative inotropic effects. The occurrence of AF increases with age and frequently leads to fatal sequelae such as stroke. The class I and III antiarrhythmics which are in use at present reduce the rate of recurrence of AF but are used to only a limited extent because of their potential proarrhythmic side effects and limited efficacy. The growing incidence of AF emphasizes the importance of identifying appropriate treatments, particularly drugs, that are safe, effective, and associated with improved clinical outcomes.


It has been shown that in atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter re-entrant mechanisms play an important role in the induction and maintenance of the arrhythmia. Such reentries or re-entrant waves occur when the cardiac tissue has a low conduction velocity and, at the same time, short refractory periods, increasing the myocardial refractory period by prolonging the action potential is an acknowledged mechanism for terminating arrhythmias or for preventing them to develop (Colatsky T. J. et al., Potassium channels as targets for antiarrhythmic drug action, Drug Dev. Res. 1990, 19, 129-140). The length of the action potential is essentially determined by the extent of repolarizing K+ currents which flow out of the cells through various K+ channels. TASK-1 constitutes one of those repolarizing potassium currents. Its inhibition prolongs the action potential and thereby refractoriness.


Most of the known class III antiarrhythmics, for example dofetilide, E4031 and d-sotalol, block predominantly or exclusively the rapidly activating IKr potassium channel which can be detected both in cells of the human ventricle and in the atrium. It has emerged that these compounds have an increased proarrhythmic risk at heart rates which are low or normal, and arrhythmias referred to as torsades de pointes have been observed in particular (Roden D. M., Current status of class III antiarrhythmic drug therapy. Am. J. Cardiol, 1993, 72, 44B-49B). Apart from this proarrhythmic risk, the therapeutic efficacy of the IKr blockers has been found to decline under the conditions of tachycardia (electrical tachycardic atrial remodelling).


TASK-1 expression in the human heart has been shown to be restricted to the atria with no or very little expression in the ventricles. A further advantage is that TASK-1 expression is not decreased but even slightly Increased in atrial fibrillation patients compared with sinus rhythm parents. By contrast, a decreased expression of other atrial K+ channels has been reported in atrial fibrillation patients compared with sinus rhythrn patients (Dobrev D. et al., Remodeling of cardiomyocyte ion channels in human atrial fibrillation, Basic Res. Cardiol. 2003, 98, 137-148; Brundel B. J. J. M. et al., Alterations in Potassium Channel Gene Expression in Atria of Patients With Persistent and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Differential Regulation of Protein and mRNA Levels for K+ Channels, J. American College of Cardiology 2001, 37, 926-932). Thus, TASK-1 is still expressed in the larger patient population (Kääb S. et all, Global gene expression in human myocardium-oligonucleotide microarray analysis of regional diversity and transcriptional regulation in heart failure, J. Molecular Medicine 2004, 82, 308-316; Barth A. S. et al., Functional profiling of human atrial and ventricular gene expression, European J. Physiol. 2005, 450, 201-208; WO 2005/016965; Ellinghaus P. et al., Comparing the global mRNA expression profile of human atrial and ventricular myocardium with high-density oligonucleotide array, J. Thoracic Cardiovascular Surgery 2005, 129, 1383-1390).


In spite of the great physiological significance of the TASK channels, only very few pharmacological modulators of these channels are known to date in the literature. It has been stated that an activation of the TASK-1 channel can be achieved by therapeutic concentrations of the inhalative anesthetics halothane and isoflurane (Patel A. J. et al., Inhalational anesthetics activate two-pore-domain background K+ channels, Nature Neuroscience 1999, 2, 422-426). Furthermore, some Kv1.5 blockers which also inhibit the TASK-1 channel, are described in the state of the art (WO 2007/124849; WO 2006/136304). The compound A1899, a previously described Kv1.5 blocker (Peukert S. et al., Identification, Synthesis, and Activity of Novel Blockers of the Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel Kv1.5., J. Med. Chem. 2003, 46, 486-498) has been stated to be a TASK-1 blocker (Streit A. K. et al., A Specific Two-pore Domain Potassium Channel Blocker Defines the Structure of the TASK-1 Open Pore, J. Biol. Chem. 2011, 286, 13977-13984). Also the arachidonic acid amide anandamide, an endogenous ligand of the cannabinoid receptor, and its methanandamide homolog have been described as TASK-1 blockers (Maingret F. et al., The endocannabinoid anandamide is a direct and selective blocker of the background K+ channel TASK-1, EMBO J. 2001, 20, 47-54). Doxapram, which is used for the treatment of respiratory disorders, has been stated to be a TASK-1 blocker (Cotten J. F. et al.; The Ventilatory Stimulant Doxapram Inhibits TASK Tandem Pore (K2P) Potassium Channel Function but Does Not Affect Minimum Alveolar Anesthetic Concentration, Anesth. Analg. 2006, 102, 779-785). Carvedilol has been found to be an unselective TASK-1 blocker at micromolar concentrations (Standaucher K. et al., Carvedilol targets human K2P3.1 (TASK1) K+ leak channels, Brit. J. Pharmacol. 2011, 163, 1099-1110). There is a need for further compounds which are suitable for the treatment of TASK-1 related conditions, which are efficient TASK-1 inhibitors and preferably have further favorable properties, for example exhibit a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, are selective for TASK-1, or are devoid of proarrhythmic properties, in particular do not substantially inhibit the hERG channel. The present invention satisfies this need by providing the compounds of the formula I.


A subject of the present invention are the compounds of the formula I, in any of their stereoisomeric forms and mixtures of stereoisomers forms in any ratio, and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof,

In a dialkylamino group, for example, the alkyl groups can be identical or different.


Alkyl groups, i.e. saturated hydrocarbon residues, can be straight-chain (linear) or branched. This also applies if these groups are substituted or part of another group, for example in a fluorinated alkyl group or an alkoxy group (alkyloxy group, alkyl-O-group, wherein the terminal hyphen in the latter group, and likewise in all other groups where it occurs, denotes the free bond via which the group is bonded, and thus indicates via which atom or subgroup a group composed of several subunits is bonded). Depending on the respective definition, the number of carbon atoms of an alkyl group can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, or 1, 2, 3 or 4, or 1, 2 or 3, or 1 or 2, or 1, for example. In one embodiment of the invention, the number of carbon atoms of an alkyl group occurring in the compounds of the formula I is, independent of any other occurrence, 1, 2, 3, or 4, in another embodiment 1, 2 or 3, in another embodiment 1 or 2, in another embodiment 1. Examples of alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl including n-propyl and isopropyl, butyl including n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl, pentyl and hexyl. One or more, for example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, hydrogen atoms in alkyl groups in the compounds of the formula I can in general be replaced by fluorine atoms, unless specified otherwise. Examples of fluorinated alkyl groups are CF3 (trifluoromethyl), CF2H, CFH2, CF3—CH2—, CF2H—CH2—, CFH2—CH2—, CH3CF2—, CH3—CFH—, CF3—CF2—, CF3—CH2—CH2—, CF2H—CH2—CH2, CF3—CF2—CF2—, CFR3—CF2—CH2—, CF3—CFH—CH2— and CF2H—CF2—CH2—. With respect to all groups or substituents in the compounds of the formula I which can be an alkyl group which can generally contain one or more fluorine substituents, as an example of groups or substituents containing fluorine-substituted alkyl, which may be included in the definition of the group or substituent, any one or more of the mentioned groups, for example the group CF3 (trifluoromethyl), may be mentioned in the definition besides any alkyl groups not substituted by fluorine. In one embodiment of the invention, an alkyl group in any occurrence in the compound of the formula I is, independently of any other substituents which may be present on it and independently of any other occurrences of alkyl groups, unsubstituted by fluorine, in another embodiment it is unsubstituted or substituted by fluorine, and in another embodiment it is substituted by fluorine.


Examples of alkyl-O— groups are methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy, sec-butoxy, isobutoxy, tert-butoxy, which can in general, and irrespective of any other substituents, also be substituted by one or more fluorine substituents as outlined above with respect to the comprised alkyl subunits. Examples of fluorinated alkyl-O— groups are CF3—O—, CF2H—O—, CF3—CH2—O— and CF2H—CH2—O—. An example of a substituted alkyl-O— group is cyclopropylmethoxy- (cyclopropyl-CH2—O—). Examples of alkyl-S(O)p— groups are methylsulfanyl (CH3—S—), methylsulfinyl (CH3—S(O)—), methanesulfonyl (CH3—S(O)2—), ethylsulfanyl (CH3—CH2—S—), methylsulfinyl (CH3—S(O)—), methanesulfonyl (CH3—S(O)2—), ethanesulfonyl (CH3—CH2—S—), methylethylsulfanyl ((CH3)2CH—S—), methylethylsulfinyl ((CH3)2CH—S(O)—) and methylethenesulfonyl ((CH3)2CH—S(O)2—). In one embodiment of the invention, the number p is selected from the series consisting of 0 and 2, in another embodiment it is 0, and in another embodiment it is 2, wherein all numbers p are independent of one another and can be identical or different. An example of a fluorinated alkyl-S(O)p— group is CF3—S—.

or which is any one of these compounds, and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, wherein the compound of the formula I is a subject of the invention in any of its stereoisomeric forms or a mixture of stereoisomers forms in any ratio, unless a specific configuration or stereoisomers form is specified with respect to any carbon atoms or structural element in the respective compound.


Another subject of the present invention are processes for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I which are outlined below and by which the compounds of the formula I and intermediates occurring in the course of their synthesis are obtainable. For example, one such process starts with the formation of fused pyrrolecarboxylic acid esters of the formula V from heterocyclic amino acids of the formula II by following a similar synthetic method as described in Pizzorno M. T. et al., J. Org. Chem. 1977, 42, 909-910. As shown in Scheme 1, in this process the compound of tine formula II is first formyiafed to give the compound of the formula III, for example by adding acetanhydride to a solution of the amino acid in formic acid, for example at temperatures from about 0° C. to about 25° C., followed by treatment with water. The obtained compound of the formula III is treated with an excess of acetanhydride and a propiohc acid ester of the formula IV, optionally in the presence of dimethylformamide, for example at temperatures from about 80° C. to about 120° C., to give a mixture of the isomeric fused pyrroiecarboxylic acid esters of the formulae V and VI, in which the desired compound of the formula V usually is the major isomer and from which the compound of the formula V can be isolated by standard techniques, for example by chromatography.

R4 to R9, X, m and n in the compounds of the formulae II, III, V and VI are defined as in the compounds of the formula I. The group R3 in the compounds of the formulae IV, V and VI is hydrogen or (C1-C4)-alkyl, in particular hydrogen, the group R70 in the compounds of Lhe formulae IV, V and V can be (C1-C4)-alkyl, for example (C1-C3)-alkyl such as ethyl. The method according to Scheme 1 is particularly suitable for the preparation of compounds of the formula V in which X is oxygen, sulfur or C(R10)(R11) and n and m are 1, and compounds in which X is sulfur and one of n and m is 0 and the other is 1. The heterocyclic amino acids of the formula II used as starting compounds are commercially available or have been described in the literature or can be synthesized according to various procedures described in the literature. For example, compounds of the formula II in which X is oxygen and n and m are 1, can be prepared according to the method described in Meinzer A. et al., Helv. Chim. Acta 2004, 87, 90-105 by reacting a 2-benzylamino-3-hydroxy-alkanoic acid with a 2-chloro-alkanoyl chloride to give, after esterification, the respective 4-benzyl-5-oxo-morpholine-3-carboxylic acid ester in which the lactam moiety can be reduced to the cyclic amine moiety, for example by means of a borane or complex hydride reducing agent, for example the complex of borane and dimethylsulfide, the benzyl protecting group then cleaved by catalytic hydrogenation, for example over palladium on charcoal, and the ester moiety saponified, for example with an alkali metal hydroxide like potassium hydroxide, to afford the respective rnorpholine-3-carboxylic acid. Compounds of the formula II in which X is sulfur and n and m are 1, can be prepared by the methods described in WO 82/03860, for example by reacting a 2-amino-3-mercapto-alkanoic acid derivative with a 2-halo-alkanone and reducing the cyclic imine intermediate by means of hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium or a complex hydride. Methods for the preparation of compounds of the formula II In which X is (R10)(R11)C and n and m are 1, are described in Shuman R. T. et al., J. Org. Chem. 1990, 55, 738-741; Takahafa H. et al., Amino Acids 2003, 24, 267-272; Maison W. et al., J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1 1999, 3515-3525; or EP 0447704, for example.


The fused pyrrolecarboxyllc acid esters of the formula V can then be reacted with 2,2,2-trichloroacetyl chloride in an inert solvent, such as a chlorinated hydrocarbon like dichloromethane, at temperatures from about 10° C. to about 30° C. to give compounds of the formula VII (Scheme 2).

R3 to R9, R70, X, m and n in the compounds of the formula VII is defined as in the compounds of the formula V. The trichloroacetyl derivatives can be further reacted in different ways. In one of them, which is shown in Scheme 3 and can in the first step be performed according to the procedure described in Wood K. et al., Tetrahedron 2011, 87, 4093-4102, the trichloroacetyl group is directly converted into a carboxamide group by reaction of the compound of the formula VII either with an amine of the formula (R30)(R31)NH or with an amine of the formula R20—NH2 in an

inert solvent such as an ether like tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 80° C., for example at the reflux temperature of tetrahydrofuran, to give the compounds of the formulae VIIIa and VIIIb, respectively. The ester group R70—O—C(O)— in the compounds of the formulae VIIIa and VIIIb can then be hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid group according to standard procedures, for example by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in an inert solvent such as water or a mixture of water and an organic solvent, for example a mixture of water and an alcohol like methanol or ethanol, at temperatures from about 50° C. to about 100° C., to give the compounds of the formulae IXa and IXb, respectively.


R3 to R9, R70, X, m and n in the compounds of the formulae VIIIa, VIIIb, IXa and IXb are defined as in the compounds of the formula V. R20, R30 and R31 in the compounds of the formulae VIIIa, VIIIb, IXa and IXb and the employed amines of the formulae (R30)(R31)NH and R20—NH2 are defined as in the compounds of the formula I, and additionally can functional groups be present in protected form or in the form of a precursor group which are subsequently converted into the final groups.


In another way for further reacting the compounds of the formula VII, which is shown in Scheme 4, the trichloroacetyl group is first converted into a carboxylic acid group, which conversion has in general been described in the literature, for example in Hewlett N. M. et al., Organic Letters 2011, 13, 4550-4553, without interfering with the ester group R70—O—C(O)—. For example, by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in an inert solvent, such as a mixture of water and an organic solvent, for example a mixture of water and an ether like tetrahydrofuran, at temperatures of about 20° C. to about 30° C. chemoselective hydrolysis can be achieved to give the carboxylic acids of the formula X, in which R3 to R9, R70, X, m and n are defined as in the compounds of the formula V.

The carboxylic acids of the formula X can be convened into carboxamides of the formulae VIIIa and VIIIb by reaction either with an amine of the formula (R30)(R31)NH or with an amine of the formula R20—NH2 according to the many methods for the formation of amides from carboxylic acids, for example by means of the various peptide coupling agents which are well known in the art, such as N,N′-carbonyldiazoles, carbodiimides or uronium-hased coupling agents, in an inert solvent, for example a hydrocarbon like toluene, a chlorinated hydrocarbon like dichloromethane, an ether like tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or 1,2-dimethoxyethane, or an amide like dimethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one, optionally in the presence of an auxiliary agent such as 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole and/or a base such as a tertiary amine, in a favorable manner for the formation of the carboxamides, a compound of the formula X is treated with a carbodiimide like 1-ethyl -3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC, EDC; EDCI) and 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole and then with an amine of the formula (R30)(R31)NH or R20—NH2 in an amide like dimethylformamide as solvent at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 60° C. The ester group R70—O—C(O)— in the compounds of the formulae VIIIa and VIIIb can then be hydrolyzed according to standard procedures, for example by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide as already outlined above, to give the carboxylic acids of the formulae IXa and IXb. The explanations given above with respect to the compounds of the formulae VIIIa, VIIIb, IXa and IXb and the amines of the formulae (R30)(R31)NH and R20—NH2 occurring in the methods of Scheme 3 apply likewise to these compounds occurring in the methods of Scheme 4.


For the conversion into the final compounds of the formula I, the carboxylic acids of the formulae Xa and IXb, which have been obtained according to any of the methods outlined above, are then reacted with amines of the formulae (R30)(R31)NH and R20—NH2 to give the compounds of the formulae Ia and Ib, respectively (Scheme 5). The explanations given above with respect to the conversion of the carboxylic acid group in the compounds of tbe formula X into a carboxamide group apply likewise to the conversion of the carboxylic acid group in the compounds of the Formulae IXa and IXb into a carboxarnlde group. Thus, for example, the carboxylic acid group can be activated by means of one of the various peptide coupling agents well known in the art, such as a N,N′-carbonyldiazole, a carbodiimide or a uronium-based coupling agent, optionally in the presence of an auxiliary agent such as 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole and/or a base such as a tertiary amine, and then treated with the amine of the formula (R30)(R31)NH or R20—NH2. In this reaction, like in the reaction with the carboxylic acids of the formula X and in other reactions, the amines of the

formulae (R30)(R31)NH and R20—Nh2 can also be employed in the form of their salts, for example as hydrochloride or hydrobromide, and in such case a suitable auxiliary base be added for the liberation of the free amine, for example a tertiary amine like triethylamine, N,N-diisopropyl-ethylamine, or N-methyl-morpholine. It applies in general to the processes used in the preparation of the compounds of the formula I that starting compounds and intermediates can also be employed in the form of their salts, and intermediates as well as the compounds of the formula I can also be isolated in the form of their salts. Favorably, the carboxylic acid group in the compounds of the formula IXa and IXb is activated with a barbodiimide like 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride and 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole and then treated with an amine of the formula (R30)(R31)NH or R20—NH2 in an amide like dimethylformamide as solvent at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 60° C. The explanations given above with respect to the compounds of the formulae IXa and IXb and the amines of the formulae (R30)(R31)NH and R20—NH2 occurring in the methods of Scheme 3 apply likewise to these compounds occurring in the methods of Scheme 5. In the compounds of the formulae Ia and Ib which are initially obtained in the reaction of the compounds of the formulae IXa and IXb with the amines of the formula (R30)(R31)NH and R20—NH2, any functional groups may be present. In protected form or in the form of a precursor group which are subsequently converted into the desired final groups to give the target compound of the formula Ia or Ib.


In another synthetic approach for the preparation of compounds of the formula I, which is outlined in Scheme 6, the compounds of the formula V, in which R3 to R9, R70, X, m and n are defined as above, are first converted into the carboxylic acids of the formula XI. Similarly as outlined above, the saponification of the carboxylic acid ester group R70—O—C(O)— can be performed, for example, by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in an inert solvent such as water or a mixture of water and an organic solvent, for example a mixture of water and an alcohol like methanol or ethanol, at temperatures from about 50° C. to about 80° C. For the subsequent reaction of the compound of the formula XI with the amines of the formulae R20—NH2 and (R30)(R31)NH or their salts to give the compounds of the formulae XIIa and XIIb, respectively, likewise the methods outlined above can be used. Thus, for example, the compound of the formula XI can be activated with an activating agent such as a carbodiimide like 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole and then treated with the amine in an inert solvent such as an amide like dimethylformamide at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 60° C. optionally in the presence of an auxiliary base such as a tertiary amine like triethylamine. Reaction of the obtained compounds of the formulae XIIa and XIIb with trichloroacetyl chloride, for example in a chlorinated hydrocarbon like dschloromethane at temperatures from about 10° C. to about 50° C., affords the compounds of the formulae XIIIa and XIIIb,

The compounds of the formulae XIIIa and XIIIb can be converted into the bisamides of the formulae Ia and Ib either by reacting them directly with the amine of the formula (R30)(R31)NH or R20—NH2, respectively, as outlined above with respect of tine reaction of the compounds of the formula VII with these amines, for example in an ether like tetrahydrofuran as solvent at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 80° C., or by first converting the trichloroacetyl group into a carboxylic acid group, for example by reaction with an alkali metal hydroxide like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in an inert solvent, such as a mixture of water and an organic solvent, for example a mixture of water and an ether like tetrahydrofuran, at temperatures from about 40° C. to about 80° C., to give the compounds of the formulae XIVa and XIVb, and then activating the compound of the formula XIVa or XIVb and treating it with the amine of the formula (R30)(R31)NH or R20—NH2, respectively, for example by the carbodiimide methodology outlined above, such as by means of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole in a solvent like dimethyl formamide at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 60° C. R3to R9, X, n and m in the compounds of the formulae XI, XIIa, XIIb, XIIIa, XIIIb, XIVa and XIVb are defined as in the compounds of the formula V. R20, R30 and R31 in the compounds of the formulae XIIa, XIIb, XIIIa, XIIIb, XIVa and XIVb, the initially obtained compounds of the formula Ia and Ib and the employed amines of the formulae (R30)(R31)NH and R20—NH2 in the reactions depicted in Scheme 6 are defined as in the compounds of the formula I, and additionally can functional groups be present in protected form or in the form of a precursor group which are subsequently converted into the final groups.


In a further synthetic approach for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I, which is outlined in Scheme 7, the carboxamioes of the formulae XIIa and XIIb are first brominated with N-bromo-succinimide in an inert solvent such as a chlorinated hydrocarbon like dichloromethane at temperatures from about −80° C. to about 30° C. to give the brominated compounds of the formulae XVa and XVb, which are then subjected to a transition metal-catalyzed aminocarbonylation to give the compounds of the formulae Ia and Ib, respectively.

R3 to R9, X, n and m in the compounds of the formulae XVa and XVb are defined as in the compounds of the formula V. R20, R30 and R31 in the compounds of the formulae XVa and XVb, the initially obtained compounds of the formula Ia and Ib and the employed amines of the formulae (R30)(R31)NH and R20—NH in the reactions depicted in Scheme 7 are defined as in the compounds of the formula I, and additionally can functional groups be present in protected form or in the form of a precursor group which are subsequently converted into the final groups. The arrsinocarbonylation can favorably be carried out with a metal carbonyl as source of carbon monoxide, for example molybdenumhexacarbonyl Mo(CO)6, and the amine of the formula R20—NH2 or (R30)(R31)NH in the presence of a palladium catalyst like trans-di-(μ-acetato)bis[2-(di-o-tolylphosphino)benzyl]dipalladium(II) and a base like 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in a solvent such as an ether like tetrahydrofuran or dioxane at temperatures from about 100° C. to about 150° C. under pressure and microwave irradiation, in analogy to the procedure described in Wannberg J. et al., J. Org. Chem. 2003, 68, 5750-5753.


An alternative synthesis of compounds of the formula I in which the number n is 0 and the group X is oxygen or sulfur, in particular oxygen, i.e. compounds of the formula Ih which is outlined in Scheme 8, starts from 5-halo-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylic

acid diesters of the formula XVI, which can be obtained from respective pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylic acid diesters which are unsubstituted in ring position 5, by halogen at son with N-chloro-succinimide or N-bromo-succinimide as described in US 2004/0209886. The compound of the formula XVI is alkylated at the ring nitrogen atom with a compound of the formula XVII under standard conditions for such allegations, for example in the presence of a base such as an alkali metal carbonate like cesium carbonate in an inert solvent such as a ketone like acetone or methyl ethyl ketone at temperatures from about 50° C. to about 80° C., to give a compound of the formula XVIII. The group Y2 in the compounds of the formula XVII is a nucleophliically substitutable leaving group, for example halogen such as bromine or a sulfonyloxy group such as methanesulfonyloxy in the compounds of the formulae XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI and Ih, the groups R4 to R7 are defined as in the compounds of the formula I, the group R3 is hydrogen or (C1-C4)-alkyl. the group X is oxygen or sulfur, in particular oxygen, the number m is 1 or 2, the group Y1 is chlorine or bromine, and the group R73 is a suitable protecting group, for example tert-butyl or a trialkylsilanyl group like trimethylsilanyl, triisopropylsllanyl or tert-butyl-dimethylsilanyl. The groups R71 and R72 in the compounds of the formulae XVI and XVIII can be alkyl groups such as (C1-C4)-alkyl like ethyl, for example, and can be identical or different. In particular for the synthesis of compounds of the formula Ih in which the two groups R1 and R2 are identical, the groups R71 and R72 can be identical and the ester groups R71—O—C(O)— and R72—O—C(O)— in the compound of the formula XVIII simultaneously be hydrolyzed, for example by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in an inert solvent such as wafer or a mixture of water and an organic solvent, for example a mixture of wafer and an alcohol like ethanol or isopropanol, at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 30° C. in the case of ethyl esters, to give a compound of the formula XIX in which the groups R74 and R75 are hydrogen, i.e. the groups R74—O—C(O)— and R75—O—C(O)— are carboxylic acid groups. Under suitable conditions, ester groups in compounds of the formula XVIII, in which R71 and R72 are identical or different, can be hydrolyzed sequentially or selectively, to give a compound of the formula XIX in which one of the groups R74 and R75 is hydrogen, i.e. one of the ester groups in the compound of the formula XVIII is converted into a carboxylic acid group, and the other is defined as the respective group in the compound of the formula XVIII, i.e. the other of the ester groups is maintained. The carboxylic acid group or groups in the compounds of the formula XIX are reacted with an amine of the formula R1—H and/or an amine of the formula R2—H to give the biscarboxamides of the formula XX. In the compounds of the formulae XX and XXI, the employed amines of the formulae R1—H and R2—H and in the initially obtained compounds of the formula Ih are the croups R1 and R2 defined as in the compounds of the formula I, i.e. one of the groups R1 and R2 is the group R20—NH— and the other is the group (R30)(R31)N—, and additionally can functional groups be present in protected form or in the form of a precursor group which are subsequently converted into the final groups, wherein the groups R1 and R2 can be identical or different, and in one embodiment of the invention are identical. For the conversion into the carboxamides, the carboxylic acid group or groups in the compounds of the formula XIX can be activated as outlined above for other amide formations, for example according to the carbodiimide methodology by treatment with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and an N-hydroxy-triazole such as 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole or 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole in a solvent like dimethylformamide at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 30° C. In case one carboxylic acid and one ester group is present in the compound of the formula XIX, after the conversion of the carboxylic acid group info a carboxamicie group the ester can group can be hydrolyzed and the obtained carboxync acid group likewise reacted with an amine, which can be different from the amine employed in the first amide formation, to give a compound of the formula XX in which both groups R1—C(O)— and R2—C(O)— are amide groups. In case a mixture of compounds is obtained after the amidation reaction or reactions, the individual compounds can be separated by chromatography. De-protection of the moiety R73—X— in the compound of the formula XX, for example by treatment with an acid like hydrochloric acid at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 30° C. in the case of a trialkylsiianyl protecting group, affords a compound of the formula XXI, whose cyclization, for example by treatment with a base such as an alkali metal carbonate like cesium carbonate in an inert solvent such as an amide like dimethylformamide at temperatures from about 100° C. to about 150° C. under microwave irradiation, then provides the compound of the formula Ih.


The amines of the formulae R20—NH2 and (R30)(R31)NH, which are used as starting compounds in the synthesis of the compounds of the formula I, are commercially available or have been described in the literature or can be synthesized according to various procedures for the synthesis of such compounds described in the literature. By way of example, in the following some procedures are outlined by which such amines can be prepared. For example, chiral amines of the formulae XXIVa and XXIVa, which can be amines of the formula R20—NH2 in which R20 is (R21)(R22)(R23)C— and R23 is hydrogen, or amines of the formula (R30)(R31)NH in which R30 is hydrogen, R31 is (R32)(R33)(R34)C— and R32 is hydrogen, for example, can be prepared in analogy to the EHmsn synthesis with the aid of enantiopure (R)- or (S)-tert-butyl sulfinamide of the formula (CH3)3C—S(O)—NH2 (cf. Ellman J. A. et al., Acc. Cham. Res 2002, 35, 984-995; Morton D. et al., Tetrahedron 2006, 82, 8869-8905), as outlined In Schemes 9 and 10. The groups R80 and R81 in the compounds

of the formulae XXII, XXIII, XXIVa and XXIVb and the formulae R80—C(O)—H and R81—MgY3 are defined as R21 and R22, or as R33 and R34, wherein R21, R22, R33 and R34 are defined as in the compounds of the formula I and additionally can functional groups be present in protected form or in the form of a precursor group which are subsequently converted into the final groups.


For example, starting from an aldehyde of the formula R80—C(O)—H, in particular an anomatic aldehyde in which R80 is an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl group or aromatic heterocyclic group, by reaction with enantiopure (R)or (S)-tert-butylsulfinamide in the presence of a catalyst such as an acidic compound like potassium hydrogensulfate in an inert solvent such as a hydrocarbon like toluene at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 80° C. enantiopure N-tert-butylsulfinyl imines of the formula XXII can be obtained, which can be reacted with Grignard reagents of the formula R81—MgY3, in which Y3 is halogen, for example chlorine or bromine, and R81 in particular is an aliphatic or alicyclic group, for example an alkyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkyl-alkyl- group in an inert solvent such as an ether like tetrahydrofuran at low temperatures, for example at about −80° C., to give the intermediate of the formula XXIII, which can be a mixture of dsastereomers. The individual diastereomers of the formula XXIII, which can be separated by chromatography, can then be converted into the chiral amines of the formula XXIVa or XXIVb or their salts, for example their hydrochlorides, by treatment with an acid, for example hydrogen chloride in an alcohol like methanol or trifluoroacetic acid in a chlorinated hydrocarbon like dichloromethane, at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 30° (Scheme 9).


In another method, starting from an aldehyde of the formula R81—C(O)—H, in particular an aliphatic or alicyclic group aldehyde in which R81 is an alkyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkyl-alkyl- group, for example, by reaction with enantiopure (R)- or (S)-tert-butylsulfinamide enantiopure N-tert-butylsulfinyl imines of the formula XXV can be obtained as outlined above with respect to the compounds of the formula XXII.

Reaction of a compound of the formula XXV with an organolithium compound of the formula R80—Li, in which R80 is in particular an aromatic group like an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl group or aromatic heterocyclic group and which can be obtained from the respective halogemdes, for example compounds of the formula R80—Br, by treatment with an organolithium compound such as n-butyllithium in an inert solvent such as an ether like diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran at temperatures from about −80° C. to about −° C., in an inert solvent such as an ether like tetrahydrofuran at low temperatures, for example at about −80° C., provides the intermediate of the formula XXIII, which can be a mixture of diastereomers. As in the case of its synthesis from the compound of the formula XXII, the individual diastereomers of the formula XXIII, which can be separated by chromatography, can then be converted into the chiral amines of the formula XXIVa or XXIVb or their salts, for example their hydrochlorides, by treatment with an acid such as hydrogen chloride or trifluoroacetic acid (Scheme 10).


Racemic amines of the formula (R80)(R81)CH—NH2, in which R80 and R81 are defined as sn the compounds of the formula XXIVa and XXlVb, can be prepared from nitriles of the formula R80—CN or R81—CN by reaction with a Grignard reagent of the formula R81—MgY3 or R80—MgY3, respectively, in which Y3 is halogen, for example chlorine or bromine, in an inert solvent such as an ether like tetrahydrofuran at temperatures from about −80° C. to about 30° C., and in situ reduction of the imine intermediate of the formula (R80)(R81)C═NH with a complex hydride, for example sodium borohydride, at temperatures from about −80° C. to about 30° C. If desired, a mixture of stereoisomeric forms of an amine such as an racemate can be separated into the individual stereoisomers by conventional techniques, such as by chromatography, for example on a chiral phase, or by salt formation with an enantiopure carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid and fractional crystallization of dIastereomeric salts.


Secondary amines of the formula (R30)(R31)NH, in which R30 is different from hydrogen, can be prepared from amines of the formula R31—NH2, including enantiopure and racemic amines of the formula (R80)(R81)CH—NH2, for example, by reaction with a compound of the formula R30—Y4, in which R30 is defined as in the compounds of the formula I except for the denotation hydrogen, and Y4 is a nucleophilically substitutable leaving group, for example halogen like bromine, in a solvent such as acetonitrlle in the presence of a base such as a tertiary amine like trlethylamine at temperatures from about 20° C. to about 80° C., or by any of the other methods for the alkylation of amines well known in the art, for example by reaction with an aldehyde and reduction of the imine that is initially obtained.


As another example of the preparation of amines which can be employed in the synthesis of compounds of the formula I, the formation of certain amines of the formula (R30)(R31)NH in which R30 and R31, together with the nitrogen atom carrying them, form a heterocycle substituted by R36, may be mentioned. For example, enantiopure amines of such type which are saturated heterocycles comprising no further ring heteroatom and carrying on a ring carbon atom in position 2 a substituent R36 which is an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl group or aromatic heterocyclic group Het3, i.e. compounds of the formula XXVI, in particular pyrrolidines carrying such a substituent R36 in ring position 2, can be obtained from the respective N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-protected heterocycle, for example N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-pyrrolidine, in analogy to the procedure described in WO 2008/053319 by deprotonation with sec-butyllithium in the presence of (−)-sparteine, treatment with zinc chloride, reaction with a compound of the formula R36—Y4, in which R36 is an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl group or aromatic Het3 group and Y4 is a nucleophllically substitutable leaving group, for example halogen like bromine, in the presence of a palladium compound such as palladium acetate and tri-tert-butylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate in an inert solvent such as an ether like tert-butyl methyl ether at temperatures from about −80° C. to about 30° C., and cleavage of the protecting group, for example by treatment with hydrogen chloride (Scheme 11) .

For obtaining further compounds of the formula I, including the compounds of the formulae Ia, Ib and Ih, whose synthesis is outlined above, various transformations of functional groups can be carried out under standard conditions in compounds of the formula I obtained as described above, and in intermediates and starting compounds of the synthesis of the compounds of the formula I. Such transformations can in particular be performed with functional groups present in the groups R20, R30 and R31, in case R20 occurs in R1 and R30 and R31 occur in R2 as well as in case R20 occurs in R2 and R30 and R31 occur in R1. Some examples of such transformations are briefly outlined in the following.


For the preparation of compounds of the formula I in which R3 is halogen, i.e. compounds of the formula Ij in which R3″ is halogen, for example fluorine, chionne or bromine, in particular chlorine or bromine, respective compounds of the formula I in which R3 is hydrogen, i.e. compounds of the formula Ii, can be haiogenated, for example by treatment with an N-halo-succinimide like N-chloro-succinimide or N-bromo-succinimide in a chlorinated hydrocarbon like dichloromethane or chloroform at temperatures from about −80° C. to about 50° C., or by treatment with an N-fluoro-pyridinium salt like 2,6-dichloro-1-fluoro-pyridinium triflate (Scheme 12). R1, R2, R4 to R9, X, m and n in the compounds of the formulae Ii and Ij are defined as in the compounds of the formula I, and additionally can functional groups be present in protected form or in the form of a precursor group which are subsequently converted into the final groups.

(Scheme 13), analogously to the procedure for the replacement of bromine atoms on aromatic rings with alkyl groups described in Macdonald, S. J. F. et al., J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Comm. 1987, 1528-1530, for example, R1, R2, R4 to R9, X, m and n in the compounds of the formulae Ik and Ik are defined as in the compounds of the formula I, and additionally can functional groups be present in protected form or in the form of a precursor group which are subsequently converted into the final groups.

Hydroxy groups and amino groups, including ring nitrogen atoms in heterocyoles which can be acylated, in compounds of the formula I obtained as described above, and in intermediates and starting compounds can be acylated, i.e. converted into acyioxy groups and aoylamlno groups, respectively, which can also be termed as carboxylic acid ester groups and carboxamide groups, by treatment with a reactive carboxylic acid derivative like a carboxylic acid chloride, which may be obtained from carboxylic acid with thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride, or with a carboxylic acid anhydride, or with a carboxylic acid in the presence of an activating agent similarly as already described above, for example in the presence of a coupling agent such as an N,N′-carbonyldiazole like N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), a carbodiimide like 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) or 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC), or a uroniom-based coupling agent like O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU), O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU) or O-(cyano(ethoxycarbonyl)methyeneamino)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TOTU), in an inert solvent, for example a hydrocarbon like toluene, a chlorinated hydrocarbon like dichloromethane, an ether like tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or 1,2-dimethoxyethane, or an amide like dimethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one, generally in the presence of a base, such as a tertiary amine like triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorphonine or pyridine, or an inorganic base. In such acylation reactions, an acylation catalyst like 4-dimethylaminopyridine may be added. Similarly, amino groups can be sulfonylated to give sulfonylamino groups by reaction with activated sulfonic acids derivatives such as sulfonic acid chlorides.


Hydroxy groups can be etherified, for example by alkylation or arylation with a halogen compound like a bromide or iodide or with a sulfonyloxy compound, generally in the presence of a base, such an alkali metal carbonate like potassium carbonate or cesium carbonate or an amide like sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide in an inert solvent such as an amide like dimethylformamide or N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one or a ketone like acetone or butan-2-one or an ether like tetrahydrofuran, or with an alcohol under the conditions of the Mitsunobu reaction in the presence of a phosphine like triphenylphosphine or tributylphosphine and an azodicarboxylic acid derivative like diethyl azodicardoxylate or diisopropyl azodicarboxylate. Ether groups can be converted into hydroxy groups by standard methods for ether cleavage, for example in the case of methoxy groups on phenyl rings and aromatic heterocyclic rings favorably by treatment with trimethylsilyl iodide in an inert solvent like acetonitrile.


By treatment with a suitable halogenating agent, hydrogen atoms on carbon atoms can be replaced with halogen atoms to give halides, and oxygen functional groups like hydroxy groups can be convened into halides. Halogen atoms can be replaced with a variety of groups in substitution reactions, which may also be transition-metal catalyzed reactions. For example, halides such as bromides can be converted into alkylmercapto compounds by treatment with alkylmercaptanes in the presence of a base, or with salts of alkylmercaptanes like their sodium salts, in an inert solvent such as an amide like dimethylformamide, or into nitriles by treatment with alkali metal cyanides, trimethylsilyl cyanide or, in the case of aromatic bromides, copper cyanide, which latter reaction can favorably be performed in an inert solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide under microwave irradiation, or into other halides by halogen exchange. Instead of halides, in reactions for the preparation of such compounds also sulfonyloxy compounds can be employed which can be obtained from hydroxy compounds with sulfony chlorides such as methanesulfonyl chloride, for example.


Amino groups, including ring nitrogen atoms in heterocycles which can carry a hydrogen atom or substituent, such as ring nitrogen atoms in pyrrolidine rings and piperidine rings bonded via a ring carbon atom, or in piperazine rings or tetrazole rings, for example, can be modified under standard conditions for alkylation, for example by reaction with a halogen compound or by reductive amination with a carbonyl compound. Mixtures of products obtained in such reactions, can be separated by chromatography. Similarly, the nitrogen atom in a sulfonamide group H2N—S(O)2— can be alkylated, for example with a halide in the presence of a base such as an alkali metal hydroxide like potassium hydroxide, to give N-monosubstituted and N,N-disubstituted sulfonamides.


Carboxylic acid ester groups can be hydrolyzed under acidic or basic conditions, for example by treatment with an alkali metal hydroxide like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in an inert solvent such as water or an alcohol like methanol, ethanol or isopropanol or an ether like tetrahydrofuran or dioxane or mixtures thereof, to give carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acid groups can be activated or convened into a reactive derivative as outlined above, and reacted with an alcohol or with ammonia or an amine to give an ester or amide, respectively, Nitrile groups can be hydrolyzed to amide groups and carboxylic acid groups and reduced to aminomethyl- groups.


Carboxylic acid groups, carboxylic acid ester groups and ketone groups and aldehyde groups can be reduced, for example with complex hydrides such as lithium aluminum hydride, lithium borohydhde or sodium borohydride, and reacted with Grignard compounds and other organometal compounds to give hydroxy compounds. Hydroxy groups can be oxidized to oxo groups by means of pyridinium chlorochromate or the Dess-martin periodinane reagent, for example. Sulfur atoms in alkylmercapto compounds and sulfur heterocycles can be oxidized with a peroxide like hydrogen peroxide or a peracid to give sulfoxide (S(O)) or sulfone (S(O)2) moieties.


All such reactions, which can be used in the preparation of the compounds of the formula I, are known per se and can be carried out in a manner familiar to a person skilled in the art according to, or analogously, to procedures which are described in the standard literature, for example in Houben-Weyl, Methods of Organic Chemistry, Thieme: or Organic Reactions, John Wiley & Sons, or R. C. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations: A Guide to Functional Group Preparations, 2. ed. (1999), John Wiley & Sons, and the references quoted therein.


As already indicated, if can be advantageous or necessary in all reactions which are carried out in the course of the preparation of the compounds of the formula I, to temporarily protect functional groups or have them initially present in the form of precursor groups, and later deprotect them or convert them into the desired groups. Appropriate synthesis strategies and protective groups and precursor groups which are suitable for the respective case, are known to the person skilled in the art and can be found in P. G. M. Wuts and T. W. Greene, Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 4, ed. (2007), John Wiley & Sons, for example. Examples of protective groups which may be mentioned, are benzyl protective groups, for example benzyl ethers of hydroxy compounds and benzyl esters of carboxylic acids, from which the benzyl group can be removed by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a palladium catalyst, tert-butyl protective groups, for example tert-butyl esters of carboxylic acids, from which the tert-butyl group can be removed by treatment with trufluoroacetic acid, acyl protective groups, for example ester and amides of hydroxy compounds and amino compounds, which can be cleaved by acidic or basic hydrolysis, alkoxycarbonyl protective groups, for example tert-butoxycarbonyl derivatives of amino compounds, which can be cleaved by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid, or benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives of amino compounds, which can be cleaved by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a palladium catalyst. Examples of precursors which may be mentioned, are halogen atoms which can be replaced by many other groups as outlined above, or nitro groups which can be converted into amino groups, for example by catalytic hydrogenation.


As is usual and applies to all reactions performed in the course of the synthesis of a compound of the formula I, appropriate details of the conditions applied in a specific preparation process, including the solvent, a base or acid, the temperature, the order of addition, the molar ratios and other parameters, are routinely chosen by the skilled person in view of the characteristics of the starting compounds and the target compound and the other particularities of the specific case. As is also known to the skilled person, not all processes described herein will in the same way be suitable for the preparation of all compounds of the formula I and their intermediates, and adaptations have to be made. In all processes for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I, workup of the reaction mixture and the purification of the product is performed according to customary methods known to the skilled person which include, for example, quenching of a reaction mixture with water, adjustment to a certain pH, precipitation, extraction, drying, concentration, crystallization, distillation and chromatography including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Also for the characterization of the products, customary methods are used such as NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy.


Another subject of the present invention are the novel starling compounds and intermediates occurring in the synthesis of the compounds of the formula I, including the compounds of the formulae II, III, IV, V, VII, VIIIa, VIIIb, IXa, IXb, X, XI, XIIa, XIIb, XIIIa, XIIIb, XIVa, XIVb, XVa, XVb, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXXIVa, XXXIVb, XXV, XXVI and amines of the formulae R20—NH2 and (R30)(R31)NH, wherein R1 to R9, R20, R30, R31, R36, R70 to R75, R80, R81, X, Y1 to Y4, m and n are defined as above, in any of their stereoisomeric forms or a mixture of stereoisomers forms in any ratio, and their salts, and their use as synthetic intermediates or starting compounds.

A subject of the invention are In particular the novel specific starting compounds and intermediates described herein, independently thereof whether they are described as a free compound and/or as a specific salt, they are a subject of the invention both in the form of the free compounds and in the form of their salts, and if a specific salt is described, additionally in the form of this specific salt.


The compounds of the formula I inhibit TASK ion channels, especially TASK-1, and in one embodiment of the invention have further favorable properties, for example exhibit a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, are selective for TASK-1, or are devoid of proarrhythmic properties, in particular do not substantially inhibit the hERG channel, as can be shown in the pharmacological tests described below and in other pharmacological tests which are known to a person skilled in the art, including animal models in which the effect of the compounds can be determined ex vivo or in vivo. The compounds of the formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts therefore are valuable pharmaceutically active compounds. The compounds of the formula I and their pharmaceutically active salts can in particular be used for blocking TASK-1 channels with the aim of treating TASK-1 channel-mediated diseases, including disorders which are caused by activation of TASK-1 channels or by activated TASK-1 channels, and also disorders in which TASK-1-related damages appear secondary to another, primary cause, and more generally in disorders in which an inhibition of TASK-1 is intended by the physician for improving the patient's condition.

Such a composition comprises the active ingredient normally in a concentration of about 0.1 percent to about 10 percent, in particular of about 0.3 percent to about 3 percent, by weight.


As usual, the dosage of the compounds of the formula I and the frequency of administration depend on the circumstances of the specific case and are adjusted by the physician according to the customary rules and procedures. They depend, for example, on the compound of the formula I administered and its potency and duration of action, on the nature and severity of the individual syndrome, on the gender, age, weight and the individual responsiveness of the human or animal to be treated, on whether the treatment is acute or chronic or prophylactic, or on whether further pharmaceutically active compounds are administered in addition to a compound of the formula I. Normally, in the case of administration to an adult weighing about 75 kg, a dose from about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg per kg per day, in particular from about 0.1 mg to about 20 mg per kg per day (in each case in mg per kg of body weight), is sufficient. The daily dose can be administered in the form of a single dose or divided into a number of individual doses, for example two, three or four individual doses. The administration can also be carried out continuously, for example by continuous injection or infusion. Depending on the individual behavior in a specific case, it may be necessary to deviate upward or downward from the indicated dosages, for example in acute episodes of a disease or in an intensive care unit. Especially in the treatment of acute cases of cardiac arrhythmias, for example in an intensive care unit, parenteral administration by continuous injection or infusion may be advantageous.


Besides as a pharmaceutically active compound in human medicine and veterinary medicine, the compounds of the formula I can also be employed as an aid in biochemical investigations or as a scientific tool or for diagnostic purposes, for example in in vitro diagnoses of biological samples, if an inhibition of TASK channels is intended. The compounds of the formula I and their salts can also be used as intermediates for the preparation of further pharmaceutical active substances.


The following examples illustrate the invention.


When example compounds containing a basic group were purified by preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on reversed phase (RP) column material and, as customary, the eluent was a gradient mixture of water and acetonltnie containing trifluoroacetic acid, they were in part obtained in the form of acid addition salts with trifluoroacetic acid, depending on the details of the workup such as evaporation or lyophilization conditions. In the names and structural formulae of the example compounds such contained trifluoroacetic acid is not specified. The prepared compounds were in general characterized by spectroscopic data and chromatographic data, in particular mass spectra (MS) and HPLC retention times (Rt; in min) which were obtained by combined analytical HPLC/MS characterization (LC/MS), and/or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. Unless specified otherwise, 1H-NMR spectra were recorded at 500 MHz in D6-dimethyl sulfoxide as solvent at room temperature. In the NMR characterization, the chemical shift δ (in ppm), the number of hydrogen atoms (H) and the multiplicity (s: singlet, bs: broad singlet, d: doublet, dd: double doublet, t: triplet, q: quartet, m: multiplet) of the peaks are given. In the MS characterization, in general the detected mass number (m/z) of the peak of the molecular ion (M), for example (M+), or of a related ion such as the ion (M+1), for example (M+1+), i.e. the protonated molecular ion (M+H+) (MH+), or the ion (M−1), for example (M−1), i.e. the deprotonated molecular ion (M−H), which was formed depending on the ionization method used, is given. The particulars of the LC/MS methods used were as follows. “ACN” means acetonitrile, “TFA” means trifluoroacetic acid, and “FA” means formic acid. Unless specified otherwise, the MS ionization method was electrospray ionization ES+.

A solution of 5-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester (500 mg, 2.035 mmol; prepared according to the procedure described in US 2004/0209886) in dry acetone (6 ml) was treated with (3-bromo-propoxy)tert-butyldimethylsilane (1.063 g, 0.973 ml, 4.070 mmol) and cesium carbonate (663 mg, 2.035 mmol) and stirred for 2.5 h at 65° C. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and dispersed between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate-solution. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated.


Part of the obtained crude 1-[3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-propyl]-5-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester (110 mg, 0.263 mmol) was dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of water and isopropanol (2 ml), sodium hydroxide (11.6 mg, 0.289 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, the pH was adjusted to pH 6 with 0.1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid and the solution was washed with a 3:1 mixture of dichloromethane and isopropanol before being freeze-dried. The resulting white solid was used in the next step without further purification.


The obtained crude 1-[3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-propyl]-5-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (50.0 mg, 0.138 mmol) was dissolved in dimethylformamide (2 ml) and, sequentially, 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (39.5 mg, 0.290 mmol), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (55.6 mg, 0.290 mmol) and, after 10 min, (R)-1-phenyl-propylamine (39.2 mg, 0.290 mmol) were added. After stirring for 48 h at room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and washed with water, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and brine. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield 1-[3-(tert-butyl -dimethyl-silanyloxy)-propyl]-5-chloro-1H-pyrrole-2,4-dicarboxylic acid bis-[((R)-1-phenyl-propyl)-amide] as a white solid. The crude bis-amide was treated with a 4 M solution of hydrochloric acid in dioxane (2 ml), stirred for 3 h at room temperature, evaporated and freeze-dried from water (10 ml).

Determination of the activity on the TASK-1 channel in Xenopus oocytes


Human TASK-1 channels were expressed in Xenopus oocytes. For this purpose, oocytes were isolated from Xenopus laevis and defoliculated. Subsequently, TASK-1-encoding RNA synthesized in vitro was injected into the oocytes. After two days of TASK-1 protein expression, TASK-1 currents were measured by two-microelectrode voltage clamp. Data were acquired and analyzed using a TEC-10cx amplifier (NPI Electronic, Tamm, Germany) connected to an ITC-16 interface (Instrutech Corp., Long island, USA) and Pulse software (HEKA Elektronik, Lambrecht, Germany). Oocytes were clamped to −90 mV and TASK-1 mediated currents were measured during 500 ms voltage pulses to 40 mV. Oocytes were continuously superfused with ND96 buffer containing 98 mM sodium chloride, 2 mM potassium chloride, 1.8 mM calcium chloride, 1 mM magnesium chloride, 5 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES: pH adjusted to 7.4 with sodium hydroxide). All experiments were performed at room temperature. Test compounds were consecutively added to the bath solution at rising concentrations. Compound effects were calculated as the percentage inhibition of TASK-1 control current before compound addition. IC50 values were obtained by fitting the data to the general dose-response equation.


in Tables 14 and 15, activities determined in this assay with compounds of the formula I from the examples above are shown values in μM for TASK-1 inhibition in Table 14; TASK-1 inhibitions in percent at a compound concentration of 5 μM in Table 15).

Investigation of the refractory period and the left-atrial vulnerability in the pig


The compounds were tested for prolongation of the refractory period and antiarrhythmic activity or the atrium of the anesthetized pig as described in Knobloch K. et al., Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol. 2002, 366, 482-487. Here the anti-arrhythmic action relates to the inhibition of the occurrence of episodes of atrial arrhythmias which are induced by a prematurely placed extra-stimulus (S2) in the left athum (=left-atrial vulnerability). The prolongation of the refractory period (refractoriness) is expressed as the increase in percent of the value of the refractory period 15 min after the end of administration of the test compound vs. the basal value before administration. Mean values of the prolongation of the refractory period are shown from three rates (150/min, 200/min and 250/min). The values for the inhibition of left atrial vulnerability (inhibition of episodes of arrhythmias) in percent refer to three measurements (three time points) before administration of the test compound vs. at least three measurements during the first hour after administration.


in Table 16, the action of compounds of the formula I from the examples above on the refractory period of the left atrium and their antiarrhythmic activity in the anesthetized pig after intravenous (i.v.) administration of the described dose is shown.

Effect on upper airway collapsibility in the pig


Pharmacoiogicai efficacy against obstructive apneas was investigated in chloralose-urethane anesthetized pigs (weight range 20 to 35 kg), a large-animal model for obstructive apneas. Negative pressure generated by a negative pressure device was applied with a cannula to the upper part of the trachea for at least three breaths so that the upper airway was exposed to the negative pressure generated by the device. This caused an upper airway collapse as in an obstructive apnea in control animals treated with vehicle only, and in animals of the treatment group before the test compound was administered (baseline situation). Different levels of negative pressure were used to cause a collapse of the upper airway (−50 mbar, −100 mbar and −150 mbar). These negative pressure challenges were repeated several times before vehicle or test compound was given, and at regular intervals after administration of vehicle or test compound. Whether the upper airway was collapsed or open, was judged by airflow measurement and by the tracheal pressure in the cannula inserted into the upper trachea. In case the upper airway was collapsed by the negative pressure, airflow to the negative pressure device was close to zero. As a second parameter tracheal pressure approached the negative pressure generated by the device during upper airway collapse. Test compounds were administered by intravenous bolus injection. After administration of an effective test compound the upper airway was open during the negative pressure challenges, i.e. not collapsed, as indicated by airflow to the negative pressure device and the fact that tracheal pressure now approached atmospheric pressure in the inspiratory phase where upper airway muscles are activated. In vehicle-treated controls upper airway collapse occurred at every negative pressure challenge at −50 mbar, −100 mbar and −150 mbar.


In Table 17, the time after administration of compounds of the formula I from the examples above is shown during which no upper airway collapse occurred dime of inhibition of collapsibility) at a negative pressure of −150 mbar. The data show the efficacy of the compounds for inhibiting collapsibility.

Determination of the effect on the hERG channel in CHO cells


An inhibition of the hERG (human Ether-a-go-go-Related Gene) potassium channel is unwanted because it can lead to dangerous arrhythmias. The effect of compounds of the formula I on the cloned human cardiac hERG channel was evaluated in an in vitro model using a whole-cell patch-clamping technique. CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cells stably expressing hERG, the potassium channel underlying IKr currents in human hearts, were grown in HAM's F-12 media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1×penicillin/streptomycin and 500 μg/ml G418 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif., USA) in an atmosphere of 95% air and 5% carbon dioxide. Cells used for patch-clamping were seeded on glass or plastic coverslips 12 to 38 hours before use. hERG channel currents were recorded at room temperature using the whole-cell configuration of the patch clamp technique with an Axopatch 200B amplifier (Axon Instruments, Foster City, Calif., USA). Briefly, electrodes (3 to 8 MΩ resistance) were fashioned from TW150F glass capillary tubes (World Precision instruments, Sarasota, Fla., USA) and filled with pipette solution (containing 120 mM potassium aspartate, 20 mM potassium chloride, 4 mM adenosine triphosphate disodium salt, 5 mM HEPES, 1 mM magnesium chloride; pH adjusted to 7.2 with potassium hydroxide). hERG currents were initiated by a positive voltage pulse (20 mV) followed by a negative pulse (−40 mV) and were recorded for off-line analyses. Once hERG current from a cell perfused with external solution (containing 130 mM sodium chloride, 5 mM potassium chloride, 2.8 mM sodium acetate, 1 mM magnesium chloride, 10 mM HEPES, 10 mM glucose, 1 mM calcium chloride; pH adjusted to 7.4 with sodium hydroxide) without the test compound, i.e. control solution, was stabilized, the cell was perfused with external solution containing the test compound at specific concentrations. For each concentration from each cell, peak amplitude of the steady-state hERG tail current at −40 mV was measured in picoAmpere (pA). The peak amplitude in pA for each concentration (up to a maximum concentration of 10 μM) was compared with that for the control solution from the same cell and expressed as percent value of the control. From the percent values at multiple concentrations, IC50 values for inhibition of hERG can be determined.


in Table 18, IC50 values in μM for hERG inhibition are shown which result from measurements with compounds of the formula I from the examples above. The data show that the compounds are substantially devoid of the unwanted inhibition of hERG channels or have significant selectivity for TASK-1 inhibition vs. hERG inhibition.
