Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the pharmaceutical field, and more particularly to a nitrogen-containing spirocyclic compound, a pharmaceutical composition containing the stereoisomer or deuterated form of the compound, and uses of the compound and pharmaceutical composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are a class of ion channel proteins present in the plasma membrane or membranes of intracellular organelles. They include seven subfamilies: TRPC, TRPV, TRPM, TRPML, TRPP, TRPA, and TRPN. Furthermore, the mammalian transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor subfamily (TRPV) includes TRPV1-6. ​​Recent studies have shown that TRPV3 is primarily expressed in human skin keratinocytes and plays an important role in mediating skin sensation, influencing epidermal keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation and hair growth, participating in inflammatory responses, and maintaining skin homeostasis and normal function. This ion channel is regulated by many factors, such as temperature, osmotic pressure, pH, mechanical force, and intracellular signaling molecules. Research has shown that TRPV3 is the causative gene for the rare skin disorder Olmsted syndrome (Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2012, 90, 558), and TRPV3 inhibitors hold potential therapeutic promise for treating pruritic skin disorders, inflammatory disorders, hair growth disorders, and painful skin disorders. TRPV3 is primarily expressed in skin keratinocytes, but also in tissues such as the tongue, dorsal root ganglion, trigeminal ganglion, spinal cord, and brain. It primarily detects thermal stimuli (32–39°C). The thermal sensitivity of TRPV3 is regulated by calcium in the extracellular fluid, and repeated exposure to heat stimulates the channel current, which continues to increase. It is possible that free nerve endings beneath the skin detect and transmit thermal stimuli through signaling molecules similar to those present in thermosensitive neurons. Therefore, TRPV3 holds potential therapeutic promise for treating painful disorders.

[0003] TRPV3 is activated by monoterpenoid compounds (camphor, borneol, peppermint, etc.) and induces the release of intracellular divalent calcium ions (Ca 2+ Research has shown that TRPV3 inhibitors work by increasing the levels of TRPV3. These aromatic compounds have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-itching effects and are widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other fields. However, most of these early TRPV3 inhibitors were natural products, lacked specificity, and required high effective doses, potentially causing severe side effects. Research and development of these inhibitors was largely halted due to mediocre molecular structure activity. Existing TRPV3 inhibitors have limited structural types, slowing their development. The development of novel molecules with novel structures and clinical value is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The present invention will be described in more detail below through embodiments, through which the features and advantages of the present invention will be more clearly defined.

[0029] The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration." Any embodiment described herein as "exemplary" should not be construed as superior or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0030] Furthermore, the technical features in different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other if they are not inconsistent.

[0031] definition The terms "antagonist" and "inhibitor" are used interchangeably and refer to agents that reduce or inhibit biological activity, such as inhibiting the activity of an ion channel such as TRPV3.

[0032] For example, in the present invention, an "effective amount" of a TRPV3 antagonist refers to the amount of the antagonist in a formulation that, when used as part of a desired dosing regimen, produces a desirable clinical or functional result. Effective amounts of TRPV3 antagonists for use in the methods of the present invention include TRPV3 antagonists that are effective in reducing one or more in vitro or in vivo functions of TRPV3 channels, but this theory is not intended to limit the present invention. Exemplary functions include, but are not limited to, intracellular calcium levels, membrane polarization (e.g., antagonists can promote cellular hyperpolarization), phase I outward current, phase II outward current, phase I inward current, and phase II inward current. Compounds that antagonize TRPV3 function include compounds that antagonize the in vitro or in vivo functional activity of TRPV3 activity. When a particular functional activity can only be readily observed in an in vitro assay, the ability of a compound to inhibit TRPV3 function in this in vitro assay serves as a reasonable proxy for the compound's activity. The term "preventing," when used in reference to a condition such as local recurrence (e.g., pain), a disease such as cancer, a complex syndrome such as heart failure, or any other medical condition, is art-recognized and includes administration of a composition that reduces the frequency, delay, onset, or symptomatic manifestation of the condition in a subject relative to subjects not receiving the composition. Thus, cancer prevention includes, for example, a reduction in the number of detectable cancerous growths in a patient population receiving a prophylactic treatment relative to an untreated control population, and / or a delay in the appearance of detectable cancerous growths in a treated population relative to an untreated control population, e.g., a statistically and / or clinically significant amount. Infection prevention includes, for example, a reduction in the number of infection diagnoses in a treated population relative to an untreated control population and / or a delay in the onset of symptoms of infection in a treated population relative to an untreated control population. Pain prevention includes, for example, a reduction in, or alternatively a delay in, the magnitude of pain experienced by subjects in a treated population relative to an untreated control population.

[0033] The present invention provides compounds in prodrug form. The term "prodrug" is intended to encompass compounds that are converted under physiological conditions to the therapeutically active agents of the present invention. A common method for making prodrugs involves hydrolysis under physiological conditions to reveal selected portions of the desired molecule. In other embodiments, the prodrug is converted by enzymatic activity in the host animal. Prodrugs can also be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent.

[0034] The term "oxidative metabolite" is intended to encompass compounds obtained by metabolism of a parent compound under normal physiological conditions. Specifically, an oxidative metabolite is formed when the parent compound is oxidized during metabolism. For example, a thioether group can be oxidized to yield the corresponding sulfoxide or sulfone.

[0035] As used herein, the term "solvate" refers to a compound formed by solvation (eg, a compound formed by the combination of solvent molecules and solute molecules or ions).

[0036] As used herein, the term "hydrate" refers to a compound formed by the combination of water with the parent compound.

[0037] The term "treating" includes prophylactic and / or therapeutic treatment. The term "prophylactic or therapeutic" treatment is art-recognized and includes administration of one or more compositions of the invention to a host. When administered prior to clinical manifestation of an unwanted condition (e.g., a disease or other unwanted condition in a host animal), the treatment is prophylactic (i.e., protects the host from developing the unwanted condition), whereas when administered after manifestation of an unwanted condition, the treatment is therapeutic (i.e., intended to reduce, alleviate, or stabilize an existing unwanted condition or its side effects).

[0038] The terms "TRPV3," "TRPV3 protein," and "TRPV3 channel" are used interchangeably throughout this application. These terms refer to an ion channel (e.g., a polypeptide) comprising an amino acid sequence, e.g., the amino acid sequence of a human TRPV3 protein, or an equivalent polypeptide or functional, biologically active fragment thereof. In one embodiment, the terms refer to a polypeptide that comprises, consists of, or consists essentially of a TRPV3 amino acid sequence, e.g., as set forth in any of the patent applications referenced herein. TRPV3 proteins can also include orthologs, e.g., mouse, rat, horse, or Drosophila TRPV3.

Polypeptides of the present invention also include homologs of human TRPV3 polypeptides, such as orthologs and paralogs. TRPV3 polypeptides and amino acid sequences include, for example, the sequences set forth in any of the patent applications referenced herein.

[0040] The term "TRPV3" also refers to nucleic acids encoding polypeptides of the invention, e.g., nucleic acids containing a sequence consisting of or essentially consisting of a TRPV3 polynucleotide sequence. Nucleic acids of the invention include (i) a TRPV3 nucleotide sequence, (ii) a nucleotide sequence that is at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to a TRPV3 nucleotide sequence, (iii) a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes to a TRPV3 nucleotide sequence under stringent conditions, (iv) a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide functionally equivalent to a polypeptide of the invention, (v) a nucleotide sequence that is at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, or 99% homologous or identical to a TRPV3 polypeptide sequence, or (vi) a nucleic acid that has the activity of a polypeptide of the invention and is at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, or 99% homologous to a TRPV3 polypeptide sequence. The present invention may include all or a portion of the following: (i) nucleic acids encoding polypeptides with at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, or 99% homology or identity; (ii) nucleotide sequences that differ from the TRPV3 nucleotide sequence by 1 to about 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 75, or more nucleotide substitutions, additions, or deletions, such as allelic variants; (iii) nucleic acids evolutionarily related to TRPV3 nucleotide sequences; and (ix) complements of all of the above and other nucleic acids and nucleotide sequences resulting from the degeneracy of the genetic code. Nucleic acids of the present invention also include homologs of TRPV3 nucleic acid sequences, such as orthologs and paralogs, and codon-optimized variants for expression in a particular organism (e.g., a host cell). TRPV3 nucleic acid sequences include, for example, those set forth in any of the patent applications referenced herein. Unless explicitly stated, those skilled in the art can readily assess whether TRPV3 refers to a nucleic acid or a protein.

[0046] Furthermore, the term "alkyl" (or "lower alkyl") as used throughout the specification, examples, and patent claims is intended to include both "unsubstituted alkyl" and "substituted alkyl," the latter of which refers to alkyl moieties having substituents replacing a hydrogen atom of one or more carbon atoms of the hydrocarbon backbone. Such substituents include, for example, halogen atoms, hydroxyl, carbonyl (e.g., carboxyl, alkoxycarbonyl, formyl, or acyl), thiocarbonyl (e.g., thioester, thioacetate, thioformate), alkoxyl, phosphoryl, phosphate, phosphonate, phosphinate, amino, amido, amidine, imine, cyano, nitro, azido, sulfhydryl, alkylthio, sulfate, sulfonate, sulfamoyl, sulfamido, sulfonyl, heterocyclyl, aralkyl, or aromatic or heteroaromatic moieties.

Rings joined through non-adjacent atoms are referred to as "bridged" rings, e.g., C5-C 12 and include, but are not limited to, bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl, bicyclo[3.2.1]octyl, and bicyclo[2.1.1]pentyl. Each ring of the polycycle can be substituted with a substituent as described above, such as a halogen atom, alkyl, aralkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, hydroxyl, amino, nitro, sulfhydryl, imino, amide, phosphate, phosphonate, phosphinate, carbonyl, carboxyl, silyl, ether, alkylthio, sulfonyl, ketone, aldehyde, ester, heterocyclyl, aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety, —CF, —CN, and the like.

[0058] As used herein, the term "protecting group" refers to temporary substituents that protect a potentially reactive functional group from undesired chemical transformations. Examples of such protecting groups include esters of carboxylic acids, silyl ethers of alcohols, and acetals and ketals of aldehydes and ketones, respectively. Protecting groups are reviewed in chemistry (Greene, TW; Wuts, PGM Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed.; Wiley: New York, 1991).

[0059] As used herein, the term "substituted" is intended to include all permissible substituents for organic compounds. Broadly, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic substituents of organic compounds (e.g., alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkylalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aralkyl, or heteroaralkyl, any of which may themselves be further substituted), as well as halogen atoms, carbonyl (e.g., ester, carboxyl, or formyl), thiocarbonyl (e.g., thioester, thiocarboxylate, or thioformate), ketone, aldehyde, amino, acylamino, amido, amidino, cyano, nitro, azido, sulfonyl, sulfoxide, sulfate, sulfonate, sulfamoyl, sulfamido, and phosphoryl.

For purposes of this invention, heteroatoms such as nitrogen atoms may have hydrogen atom substituents and / or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein which satisfy the valences of the heteroatoms. This invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the permissible substituents of organic compounds.

[0060] "Substituted" or "substituted with" is understood to include the implicit proviso that the substitution is in accordance with the substituted atom and the allowed valence of the substituent, and that the substitution results in a stable compound that does not change spontaneously by, for example, rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc. f "Substituted with" means that the corresponding group has 0, 1 or 2 Rf.

[0061] The definition of each expression used herein, when it occurs more than one time in any structure, is intended to be independent of its definitions elsewhere in the same structure.

[0062] The abbreviations Me, Et, Ph, Tf, Nf, Ts, and Ms represent methyl, ethyl, phenyl, trifluoromethanesulfonyl, nonafluorobutanesulfonyl, p-toluenesulfonyl, and methanesulfonyl, respectively. A more comprehensive list of abbreviations utilized by organic chemists of ordinary skill in the art appears in the first volume of each issue of the Journal of Organic Chemistry. This list is usually presented in a table entitled "Standard List of Abbreviations." The abbreviations contained in said list, and all abbreviations utilized by organic chemists of ordinary skill in the art, are hereby incorporated by reference.

[0063] Certain compounds of the present invention may exist in particular geometric or stereoisomeric forms. The present invention contemplates all compounds within the scope of the present invention, including cis and trans isomers, R- and S-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, racemates, and other mixtures thereof. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in substituents such as alkyl groups. All such isomers, as well as mixtures thereof, are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.

[0064] Methods for producing substantially isomerically pure compounds are well known in the art. For example, if a specific enantiomer of a compound of the invention is desired, it can be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization with a chiral auxiliary, the resulting diastereomeric mixture separated, and the auxiliary cleaved to provide the desired pure enantiomer. Alternatively, if the molecule contains a basic functional group, such as amino, or an acidic functional group, such as carboxyl, one can form a diastereomeric salt with an appropriate optically active acid or base, then resolve the formed diastereomers using fractional recrystallization or chromatographic methods well known in the art, and then recover the pure enantiomer. Alternatively, enantiomerically pure synthetic intermediates can be used in combination with reactions that leave the stereochemistry of the asymmetric center unchanged or completely invert it to produce enantiomerically enriched mixtures and enantiomerically pure compounds. Techniques for inverting or leaving a specific stereocenter unchanged and for resolving stereoisomeric mixtures are well known in the art, and selecting the appropriate method for a particular situation is within the ability of one of ordinary skill in the art. See generally Vogel's Encyclopedia of Practical Organic Chemistry, edited by Furniss et al., 5th edition, Longman Scientific and Technical Ltd., Essex, 1991, pp. 809-816; Heller, Acc. Chem. Res., vol. 23, p. 128 (1990).

[0065] The compounds of the present invention may be identical to or correspond to those anticipated, and may have the same general characteristics (e.g., the ability to inhibit TRPV3 activity), including one or more substituents that do not negatively affect the activity of the compound. Generally, the compounds of the present invention can be prepared using readily available starting materials, reagents, and conventional synthetic methods, for example, by the methods shown in the general reaction schemes set forth below, or modifications thereof. These reactions may also utilize variations that are well known per se but are not described herein.

[0066] In this invention, chemical elements are identified according to the Periodic Table of the Elements. Also, in this invention, the term "hydrocarbon" is intended to include all possible compounds having at least one hydrogen atom and one carbon atom. In general, possible hydrocarbons are intended to include substituted or unsubstituted acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and non-aromatic organic compounds.

[0067] The compounds of the present invention may also contain artificial proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may contain isotopes of, for example, tritium ( 3 H), iodine-125( 125 I) or carbon 14 ( 14 It is intended that isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. 1 H), deuterium ( 2 H) and tritium ( 3 Unless stated together with H, "hydro" or "H" refers to all isotopes of hydrogen, protium ( 1 H), deuterium ( 2 H) and tritium ( 3 H).

[0069] Certain compounds of the present invention can exist in solvated forms, including hydrated forms, as well as unsolvated forms. Generally, solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are within the scope of the present invention. Certain compounds of the present invention can exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. Generally, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplated by the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.

[0070] Where substituents are designated as written from left to right in a conventional chemical formula, they equally include the chemically identical substituents that result from writing the structure from right to left, e.g., -CH2O- is also intended to be listed as -OCH2-, -NHS(O)2- is also intended to represent -S(O)2HN-, etc.

[0071] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" includes salts of active compounds formed with relatively non-toxic acids or bases, depending on the specific substituents found on the compounds described herein. When a compound of the present invention contains a relatively acidic functional group, the neutral form of the compound is contacted, neat or in a suitable inert solvent, with a sufficient amount of the desired base to obtain a base addition salt. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino acid, magnesium, or similar salts. When a compound of the present invention contains a relatively basic functional group, the neutral form of the compound is contacted, neat or in a suitable inert solvent, with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to obtain an acid addition salt. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydroiodic, phosphoric acid, and the like, as well as salts of relatively non-toxic organic acid derivatives such as acetic, trifluoroacetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, lactic, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic acid, and the like, as well as salts of amino acids such as alginate and the like, and organic acid salts such as glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, and the like (see, e.g., Berge, et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, Vol. 66, pp. 1-19). Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts.

[0072] The neutral forms of the compounds are preferably regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound may differ from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but the salts are otherwise equivalent to the parent form of the compound for purposes of the present invention.

[0073] The term "sufficiently low pyrogen activity" with respect to a pharmaceutical formulation means a formulation that does not contain an amount of pyrogen that would cause adverse side effects in a subject to which the formulation is administered, such as irritation, fever, inflammation, diarrhea, respiratory distress, endotoxic shock, etc. For example, the term is meant to include formulations that are free or substantially free of endotoxins, such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS).

[0074] TRPV3 function-related diseases, disorders, or conditions In embodiments for the prevention or treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition, the administered agent modulates TRPV3 protein level and / or activity. In some embodiments, the compound inhibits TRPV3 protein expression and / or activity. In other embodiments, the compound selectively inhibits TRPV3 protein expression. In other words, in some embodiments, the compound preferentially inhibits TRPV3 protein activity relative to the activity of one or more other ion channels.

[0075] In particular embodiments of the methods for preventing or treating a disease or disorder provided herein, the disease or disorder is pain or tactile hypersensitivity, e.g., pain or disease- or disorder-related pain, e.g., cancer pain, skin diseases or disorders, e.g., psoriasis, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, neurodegenerative diseases or disorders, e.g., Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease, Hutchington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), other brain disorders caused by trauma or other injuries, including aging, inflammatory diseases (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, glomerulonephritis, neuroinflammatory diseases, multiple sclerosis, and immune system disorders), cancer or other proliferative diseases, kidney and liver disease, metabolic disorders such as diabetes, etc. Additional diseases and conditions include post-surgical pain, post-herpetic neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and shingles.

[0076] Because of the critical role calcium regulation plays in many cellular processes, including cell activation, gene expression, intracellular trafficking, and apoptotic cell death, calcium dyshomeostasis is implicated in many diseases and disorders involving this cellular activity, including skin diseases and disorders, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases and disorders, fever-related diseases, disorders, or conditions, incontinence, inflammatory diseases and disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease, respiratory diseases and disorders such as chronic cough, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), digestive disorders such as ulcers and acid reflux, metabolic diseases and disorders including obesity and diabetes, liver and kidney diseases and disorders, malignancies including cancer, aging-related disorders, and pain and tactile hypersensitivity.

[0077] Other treatable diseases and disorders include epilepsy, cognition, vomiting, pain (e.g., migraine), asthma, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, immune and inflammatory diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, cystitis, depression, age-related degenerative diseases, urinary incontinence, premature ejaculation, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, contraception and infertility, and wound healing (see, e.g., Foresta et al. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 257: 19443-19447; Wang et al. (1990) Biochim. Biophys. Res. Commun. 166: 251-258; Burnstock and Williams, (2000) J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 295: 862-869; and Burnstock, Pharmacol Rev (2006) 58: 58-86).

[0078] The TRPV3 inhibitors described herein can be used to treat any of the diseases or disorders described above or below, including treating pain associated with any of the diseases or disorders described above or below. When used in a treatment method, the inhibitor can be selected and formulated based on the intended route of administration.

[0079] The compounds and compositions provided herein may be used in connection with the prevention or treatment of pain or pain hyperesthesia, which is manifested in a variety of diseases, disorders, or conditions, including, but not limited to, diabetic neuropathy, chest pain, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, burns, postherpetic neuralgia (shingles), nociceptive pain, peripheral neuropathic pain and central neuroendogenous pain, chronic pain, cancer pain and tumor pain, spinal cord injury, crush injury and trauma-induced pain, migraine, cerebrovascular and vascular pain, sickle cell disease pain, musculoskeletal pain, including rheumatoid arthritis pain, osteoarthritis and treatment of the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, orofacial pain, including dental and cancer-related, low back or pelvic pain, surgical incision-related pain, inflammatory and non-inflammatory pain, visceral pain, psychogenic and soft tissue inflammatory pain, fibromyalgia-related pain, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy. The compounds and methods of the present invention can be used to treat acute pain as well as chronic pain, which may be the result of injury, age, or disease.

[0080] Other ion channels are involved in the perception or transmission of pain. For example, N-type calcium channels have been implicated in synaptic transmission, which conveys pain signals from sensory afferent neurons to the central nervous system. Certain naturally occurring peptide neurotoxins that specifically block N-type calcium channels have been shown to act as extremely potent and effective analgesics in a wide range of animal pain models, including inflammatory and neuropathic pain models. Available evidence suggests that N-type calcium channel blockers are at least as effective as opiates, do not have many of the side effects of typical opiate-like substances (e.g., respiratory depression), and their analgesic effects are not subject to tolerance development.

[0081] Like TRPV3, TRPV1 and TRPV4 are expressed in a pattern consistent with their involvement in pain. TRPV3 is expressed in pain-sensitive neurons, and this expression is upregulated following injury. Furthermore, TRPV3 is highly expressed in the skin. Therefore, pain treatment strategies include (i) antagonists of TRPV3 function, (ii) combinations of selective antagonists of TRPV3 and TRPV1 and / or TRPV4 function, or (iii) administration of pan-TPR inhibitors that suppress TRPV3, TRPV1, and TRPV4 function.

[0082] In addition to TRPV3 family members, other TRP channels have been implicated in pain perception and / or stimulation. For example, certain TRPM channels, including TRPM8, have been implicated in pain perception and / or stimulation. Accordingly, in certain embodiments, the methods of the invention include treating pain by administering (i) a combination of a selective TRPM3 antagonist and a selective TRPM8 antagonist, (ii) a combination of a selective TRPV3 antagonist, a selective TRPM8 antagonist, and one or more selective TRPV1 and / or TRPV4 antagonists, (iii) a cross-TRP inhibitor that antagonizes TRPV3 and TRPM8 function, or (iv) a pan-inhibitor that antagonizes TRPV3, TRPM8, and one or more of TRPV1 and TRPV4 function.

[0083] Calcium influx across the plasma membrane of skin cells is a critical signaling element involved in cell differentiation in the skin epidermis (Dotto, Crit Rev Oral Biol Med 10:442-457, 1999). Controlling or regulating calcium influx pathways, and thus critical control points of skin cell growth, can treat or prevent skin diseases or disorders characterized by epidermal hyperplasia, a condition in which skin cells proliferate too rapidly and differentiate too poorly. These diseases include psoriasis, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Bovine eczema, an estimated 7 million people in the United States, suffers from mild to severe disease, with secondary infections resulting in increased susceptibility and cardiac effects due to malformations from the invasive area (Lebwohl and Ali, 2001 J Am Acad Dermatol 45:487-498). Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin account for at least one-third of all cancer diagnoses in the United States each year. More than one million new cases are reported annually, and incidence rates are also increasing. Despite being a relatively non-aggressive, slow-growing cancer, BCC causes significant local tissue destruction and disfigurement. SCC is more aggressive and therefore leads to even more complications. Furthermore, given that 80% of lesions occur in the head and neck and the remaining 15% occur on the shoulders, back, or chest, BCC and SCC of the skin have a significant impact on the appearance and quality of life of those who develop them.

[0084] Many skin disorders are accompanied by itching (pruritus). Pruritus and pain share many mechanistic similarities. Both are associated with C-fiber activation, both are potentiated by elevated temperature and increased levels of inflammatory mediators, and both are quelled by opiate-like substances. Decreased neuronal excitability, particularly C-fiber excitability, can relieve pruritus associated with dialysis, dermatitis, pregnancy, ivy rash, allergies, dry skin, chemotherapy, and eczema.

[0085] Acne is a skin disorder with a complex etiology. Among other factors, oil secretion from sebaceous glands contributes to acne development. TRPV3 is also expressed in sebaceous glands and has been shown to regulate secretion in other skin cells, suggesting that antagonizing TRPV3 function may reduce the signs and symptoms of acne.

[0086] In a preferred embodiment, a TRPV3 antagonist is administered to prevent, treat, or alleviate the signs and symptoms of acute pain, chronic pain, tactile sensitivity, pruritus sensitivity, or as part of a burn treatment, such as post-surgical pain, cancer pain, or neuropathic pain.

[0095] Pharmaceutical Composition The compounds of the present invention can be administered alone, but are preferably administered as a pharmaceutical formulation (composition). The compounds of the present invention can be formulated into a formulation for administration in a manner convenient for use in human or veterinary medicine. In some embodiments, the compound contained in the pharmaceutical formulation may be active itself or may be a prodrug that can be converted to an active compound, for example, in a physiological setting.

[0096] Regardless of the route of administration selected, the compounds of the invention used in their appropriate hydrated form, and / or pharmaceutical compositions of the invention, are formulated into pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms as described below, or by other conventional methods known to those skilled in the art.

[0097] Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the compounds described above, formulated with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (excipients) and / or diluents.

However, in some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention may simply be dissolved or suspended in sterile water. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical formulations are non-pyrogenic, i.e., do not elevate a patient's body temperature.

[0098] The TRPV3 antagonist can be administered alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, for example, in combination with one or more of the following therapeutic agents: anti-inflammatory agents, anti-acne agents, anti-wrinkle agents, anti-scar agents, anti-psoriasis agents, anti-proliferative agents, anti-fungal agents, anti-viral agents, antiseptic agents, anti-migraine agents, keratolytic agents, or hair growth inhibitors.

[0099] The TRPV3 antagonist can typically be administered topically, orally, transdermally, rectally, intravaginally, parenterally, intranasally, intraocularly, intravenously, intramuscularly, intraarterially, intrathecally, intracapsularly, intraorbitally, intracardially, intradermally, intraperitoneally, transtracheally, subcutaneously, subcorneally, intraarticularly, subcapsularly, subarachnoidally, intrathecally, intrasternally, or by inhalation.

[0103] As used herein, the term "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount of a compound, material, or composition, including a compound of the present invention, effective to inhibit TRPV3 function in at least a subpopulation of cells in an animal, thereby masking the biological consequences of that function in the treated cells at a reasonable benefit / loss ratio applicable to any medical treatment, and producing some desirable therapeutic effect.

[0104] As used herein, the terms "systemic administration," "administering systemically," "peripheral administration," and "administering peripherally" refer to administration of a compound, drug, or other material other than direct administration into the central nervous system, such that it enters the patient's system and is subsequently metabolized and otherwise processed, e.g., subcutaneous administration.

[0105] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" is used to mean compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms that are, within the reasonable bounds of medical evaluation, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0106] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition, or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent, or encapsulating material, that is involved in carrying or transporting an antagonist of the present invention from one organ or part of the body to another. Each carrier must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not injurious to the patient. Some examples of materials that serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include: (1) sugars such as lactose, glucose, and sucrose; (2) starches such as corn starch and potato starch; (3) cellulose and cellulose derivatives such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, and cellulose acetate; (4) powdered tragacanth; (5) malt; (6) gelatin; (7) talc; (8) excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; (9) oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and soybean oil.

[0107] As set forth above, certain embodiments of the compounds of the present invention may contain a basic functional group, such as amino or alkylamino, and thus may form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids. In this regard, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to the relatively non-toxic, inorganic and organic acid addition salts of the compounds of the present invention. These salts can be formed in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of the present invention, or can be formed by separately reacting the purified compounds of the present invention, in their free base form, with a suitable organic or inorganic acid and then isolating the resulting salt. Representative salts include hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, nitrate, acetate, valerate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, citrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, tartrate, naphthylate, mesylate, glucoheptonate, lactobionate, and lauryl sulfonate salts and the like (see, e.g., Berge et al. (1977) "Pharmaceutical Salts," J. Pharm. Sci. 66:1-19).

[0108] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the present invention include the conventional non-toxic salts or quaternary ammonium salts of the compounds, for example, from non-toxic organic or inorganic acids, including those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloride, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and the like, and those formed from organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, succinic acid, glycolic acid, stearic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, palmitic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, phenylacetic acid, glutamic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, sulfanilic acid, 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, fumaric acid, toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, oxalic acid, isothionic acid, and the like.

In these instances, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to the relatively non-toxic, inorganic and organic base addition salts of the compounds of the present invention. These salts can be formed in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of the present invention, or can be formed separately by reacting the purified compounds, in their free acid form, with a suitable base, such as the hydroxide, carbonate, or bicarbonate of a pharmaceutically acceptable metal cation, ammonia, or a pharmaceutically acceptable organic primary, secondary, or tertiary amine. Representative alkali or alkaline earth salts include lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and aluminum, and analogs. Representative organic amines useful for base addition salt formation also include ethylamine, diethylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperazine, and analogs (see, e.g., Berge et al., supra).

[0111] Formulations of the present invention include those suitable for oral, nasal, topical (including buccal and sublingual), rectal, vaginal, and / or parenteral administration. Oral formulations include those that are delivered and maintained in the mouth without swallowing, as well as those that are swallowed in part or for subsequent use. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be formulated by any method well known in the pharmaceutical arts. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will typically be that amount of the compound that produces a therapeutic effect. This amount will typically be from about 1 percent to about 99 percent of one hundred percent of the active ingredient, preferably from about 5 percent to about 70 percent, and most preferably from about 10 percent to about 30 percent.

[0112] Methods of preparing these formulations or compositions include the step of bringing into association a compound of the present invention with a carrier, and, optionally, one or more accessory ingredients. Generally, such formulations typically involve uniformly and intimately associating a compound of the present invention with liquid carriers, or finely divided solids, or both, and then, if necessary, formulating the product into product form.

[0113] Formulations of the present invention suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules, cachets, pills, tablets, lozenges (with a flavored base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth), powders, granules, or as a solution or suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, as an oil-in-water emulsion or a water-in-oil emulsion, as an elixir or syrup, as lozenges (with an inert base such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia), and / or mouthwashes and the like, each containing a predetermined amount of a compound of the present invention as an active ingredient.

Then, a solution of 9.70 g (38.9 mmol, 1.0 eq) of p-bromobenzyl bromide in 25 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise at a temperature controlled between -70 and -60 °C. The temperature was then allowed to rise naturally. The reaction was continued for 4 hours with stirring. Samples were taken for intermediate analysis by LC-MS. The reaction was considered complete if the residual p-bromobenzyl bromide concentration was 5% or less. The reaction mixture was quenched by dropwise addition of saturated ammonium chloride solution (60 mL) at a temperature controlled between 10 and 25°C. Ethyl acetate (100 mL) was added, the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, and the mixture was allowed to stand for 5 minutes.

[0494] Inhibitory activity test of the compounds of the present invention In this study, HEK-293 cells transiently expressing TRPV3 were used for experimental detection.

[0495] The operation steps are as follows: The cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at a temperature of 37°C and a carbon dioxide concentration of 5%.

[0496] Day 1: Plate cells in a 6-well plate, 5 x 10 cells per well. 5 were inoculated individually.

[0497] Day 2: Transfection was performed using Lipofectamine 3000 transfection reagent at a ratio of 1 μg:2 μL of plasmid to transfection reagent. The total amount of plasmid used per well was 3 μg. Specifically, two sterile centrifuge tubes were prepared and 100 μL of Opti-MEM was added to each tube. 6 μL of Lipofectamine 3000 was added to one tube and mixed well. 3 μg of plasmid was added to the other tube and mixed well, followed by 6 μL of P3000 and mixing well. The diluted plasmid DNA was then added to the diluted Lipofectamine 3000 and incubated at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. The DNA-liposome complex was then added dropwise to the cells, gently shaken to mix well, and then cultured in an incubator. The liquid was replaced after 4–6 hours.

[0498] Day 3: Digest the cells and plate them at 8 x 10 cells per well in a 24-well plate with a pre-placed cover slide. 3 cells were seeded.

[0499] Day 4: Patch clamp testing was performed.

[0500] The voltage stimulation protocol for recording TRPV3 currents using whole-cell patch clamp was as follows: after forming a whole-cell seal, the cell membrane voltage clamp was set to -80 mV. The membrane potential was first recorded at 0 mV, and then a voltage was applied from -100 mV, followed by a 100 ms depolarization ramp to 100 mV, and finally back to 0 mV. Data collection was repeated every 5 seconds to observe the inhibitory effects of drugs on peak currents. Experimental data were collected using an EPC 10 amplifier (HEKA) and stored in PatchMaster (HEKA) software.

[0501] A microelectrode puller was used to pull a glass capillary into a recording electrode. The electrode, filled with intracellular solution, was inserted into the microelectrode holder. Under an inverted microscope, a microelectrode manipulator was used to immerse the electrode in the extracellular solution, and the electrode resistance (Rpip) was recorded. The electrode was then brought into contact with the cell surface, and negative pressure suction was applied to form a high-resistance seal (GΩ). At this point, fast capacitance compensation was performed, and negative pressure was continued to rupture the cell membrane, forming the whole-cell recording mode. Subsequently, slow capacitance compensation was performed, and experimental parameters such as film capacitance (Cm) and series resistance (Rs) were recorded. Leak compensation was not performed.

[0502] Administration began after the TRPV3 currents recorded from all cells stabilized. Each drug concentration was allowed to act for 5 minutes (or until the current stabilized) before detecting the next concentration. Multiple concentrations of each test compound were tested. The coverslips covered with cells were placed in a recording chamber under an inverted microscope. Blank control extracellular solution and working solutions of the test compounds were perfused into the recording chamber in order from low to high concentrations using gravity perfusion, allowing the cells to act on the compounds. Fluid exchange during recording was performed using a peristaltic pump. Currents detected by each cell in compound-free extracellular solution served as its own control. Each concentration was tested twice independently using at least two cells. All electrophysiological tests were performed at room temperature.

[0503] Compounds prepared using the above analytical process were tested, and the results are shown in Table 9. The table details the percent inhibition at 0.3 μM for selected examples, where "A" indicates an inhibition value between 70% and 100%, "B" indicates an inhibition value between 50% and 69.99%, "C" indicates an inhibition value between 25% and 49.99%, "D" indicates an inhibition value less than 25%, and "ND" indicates that the data is unconfirmed.

[0506] Liver microsome metabolic stability test Two separate experiments were performed. a) NADPH: 10 μL of 20 mg / mL liver microsomes and 40 μL of 10 mM NADPH were added to the culture medium. The final concentrations of microsomes and NADPH were 0.5 mg / mL and 1 mM, respectively. b) No NADPH: 10 μL of 20 mg / mL liver microsomes and 40 μL of ultrapure water were added to the culture medium. The final concentration of microsomes was 0.5 mg / mL.

[0507] At the start of the reaction, 4 μL of a 100 μM test compound solution or a control compound solution with a final concentration of 1 μM was added, and the reaction was carried out at 37°C.

[0508] Aliquots of 50 μL were taken from the reaction mixture at 0, 7, 15, 30, and 60 minutes. The reaction was stopped by adding 4 volumes of cold acetonitrile and IS (100 nM alprazolam, 200 nM labetalol, 200 nM caffeine, and 2 μM ketoprofen). The samples were centrifuged at 3220 g for 40 minutes. Aliquots of 100 μL of the supernatant were mixed with 100 μL of ultrapure water and used for LC-MS / MS analysis.
