FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The invention relates to substituted urea derivatives,
particularly to compounds that selectively modulate the cardiac
sarcomere, and specifically to compounds, pharmaceutical
formulations and methods of treatment for systolic heart failure,
including congestive heart failure.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The Cardiac Sarcomere
[0003] The "sarcomere" is an elegantly organized cellular structure
found in cardiac and skeletal muscle made up of interdigitating
thin and thick filaments; it comprises nearly 60% of cardiac cell
volume. The thick filaments are composed of "myosin," the protein
responsible for transducing chemical energy (ATP hydrolysis) into
force and directed movement. Myosin and its functionally related
cousins are called motor proteins. The thin filaments are composed
of a complex of proteins. One of these proteins, "actin" (a
filamentous polymer) is the substrate upon which myosin pulls
during force generation. Bound to actin are a set of regulatory
proteins, the "troponin complex" and "tropomyosin," which make the
actin-myosin interaction dependent on changes in intracellular
Ca.sup.2+ levels. With each heartbeat, Ca.sup.2+ levels rise and
fall, initiating cardiac muscle contraction and then cardiac muscle
relaxation (Robbins J and Leinwand L A. (1999) Molecular Basis of
Cardiovascular Disease, Chapter 8. editor Chien, K. R., W.B.
Saunders, Philadelphia). Each of the components of the sarcomere
contributes to its contractile response.
[0004] Myosin is the most extensively studied of all the motor
proteins. Of the thirteen distinct classes of myosin in human
cells, the myosin-II class is responsible for contraction of
skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. This class of myosin is
significantly different in amino acid composition and in overall
structure from myosin in the other twelve distinct classes (Goodson
H V and Spudich J A. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:659-663).
Myosin-II consists of two globular head domains linked together by
a long alpha-helical coiled-coiled tail that assembles with other
myosin-IIs to form the core of the sarcomere's thick filament. The
globular heads have a catalytic domain where the actin binding and
ATP functions of myosin take place. Once bound to an actin
filament, the release of phosphate (cf. ATP to ADP) leads to a
change in structural conformation of the catalytic domain that in
turn alters the orientation of the light-chain binding lever arm
domain that extends from the globular head; this movement is termed
the powerstroke. This change in orientation of the myosin head in
relationship to actin causes the thick filament of which it is a
part to move with respect to the thin actin filament to which it is
bound (Spudich J A. (2001) Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2(5):387-92).
Un-binding of the globular head from the actin filament (also
Ca.sup.2+ modulated) coupled with return of the catalytic domain
and light chain to their starting conformation/orientation
completes the contraction and relaxation cycle.
[0005] Mammalian heart muscle consists of two forms of cardiac
myosin, alpha and beta, and they are well characterized (Robbins,
supra). The beta form is the predominant form (>90 percent) in
adult human cardiac muscle. Both have been observed to be regulated
in human heart failure conditions at both transcriptional and
translational levels (Miyata supra), with the alpha form being
down-regulated in heart failure.
[0006] The sequences of all of the human skeletal, cardiac, and
smooth muscle myosins have been determined. While the cardiac alpha
and beta myosins are very similar (93% identity), they are both
considerably different from human smooth muscle (42% identity) and
more closely related to skeletal myosins (80% identity).
Conveniently, cardiac muscle myosins are incredibly conserved
across mammalian species. For example, both alpha and beta cardiac
myosins are >96% conserved between humans and rats, and the
available 250-residue sequence of porcine cardiac beta myosin is
100% conserved with the corresponding human cardiac beta myosin
sequence. Such sequence conservation contributes to the
predictability of studying myosin based therapeutics in animal
based models of heart failure.
[0007] The components of the cardiac sarcomere present targets for
the treatment of heart failure, for example by increasing
contractility or facilitating complete relaxation to modulate
systolic and diastolic function, respectively.
Heart Failure
[0008] Congestive heart failure ("CHF") is not a specific disease,
but rather a constellation of signs and symptoms, all of which are
caused by an inability of the heart to adequately respond to
exertion by increasing cardiac output. The dominant pathophysiology
associated with CHF is systolic dysfunction, an impairment of
cardiac contractility (with a consequent reduction in the amount of
blood ejected with each heartbeat). Systolic dysfunction with
compensatory dilation of the ventricular cavities results in the
most common form of heart failure, "dilated cardiomyopathy," which
is often considered to be one in the same as CHF. The counterpoint
to systolic dysfunction is diastolic dysfunction, an impairment of
the ability to fill the ventricles with blood, which can also
result in heart failure even with preserved left ventricular
function. Congestive heart failure is ultimately associated with
improper function of the cardiac myocyte itself, involving a
decrease in its ability to contract and relax.
[0009] Many of the same underlying conditions can give rise to
systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction, such as atherosclerosis,
hypertension, viral infection, valvular dysfunction, and genetic
disorders. Patients with these conditions typically present with
the same classical symptoms: shortness of breath, edema and
overwhelming fatigue. In approximately half of the patients with
dilated cardiomyopathy, the cause of their heart dysfunction is
ischemic heart disease due to coronary atherosclerosis. These
patients have had either a single myocardial infarction or multiple
myocardial infarctions; here, the consequent scarring and
remodeling results in the development of a dilated and
hypocontractile heart. At times the causative agent cannot be
identified, so the disease is referred to as "idiopathic dilated
cardiomyopathy." Irrespective of ischemic or other origin, patients
with dilated cardiomyopathy share an abysmal prognosis, excessive
morbidity and high mortality.
[0010] The prevalence of CHF has grown to epidemic proportions as
the population ages and as cardiologists have become more
successful at reducing mortality from ischemic heart disease, the
most common prelude to CHF. Roughly 4.6 million people in the
United States have been diagnosed with CHF; the incidence of such
diagnosis is approaching 10 per 1000 after 65 years of age.
Hospitalization for CHF is usually the result of inadequate
outpatient therapy. Hospital discharges for CHF rose from 377,000
(in 1979) to 957,000 (in 1997) making CHF the most common discharge
diagnosis in people age 65 and over. The five-year mortality from
CHF approaches 50% (Levy D. (2002) New Engl J. Med.
347(18):1442-4). Hence, while therapies for heart disease have
greatly improved and life expectancies have extended over the last
several years, new and better therapies continue to be sought,
particularly for CHF.
[0011] "Acute" congestive heart failure (also known as acute
"decompensated" heart failure) involves a precipitous drop in heart
function resulting from a variety of causes. For example in a
patient who already has congestive heart failure, a new myocardial
infarction, discontinuation of medications, and dietary
indiscretions may all lead to accumulation of edema fluid and
metabolic insufficiency even in the resting state. A therapeutic
agent that increases heart function during such an acute episode
could assist in relieving this metabolic insufficiency and speeding
the removal of edema, facilitating the return to the more stable
"compensated" congestive heart failure state. Patients with very
advanced congestive heart failure particularly those at the end
stage of the disease also could benefit from a therapeutic agent
that increases heart function, for example, for stabilization while
waiting for a heart transplant. Other potential benefits could be
provided to patients coming off a bypass pump, for example, by
administration of an agent that assists the stopped or slowed heart
in resuming normal function. Patients who have diastolic
dysfunction (insufficient relaxation of the heart muscle) could
benefit from a therapeutic agent that modulates relaxation.
Therapeutic Active Agents
[0012] Inotropes are drugs that increase the contractile ability of
the heart. As a group, all current inotropes have failed to meet
the gold standard for heart failure therapy, i.e., to prolong
patient survival. In addition, current agents are poorly selective
for cardiac tissue, in part leading to recognized adverse effects
that limit their use. Despite this fact, intravenous inotropes
continue to be widely used in acute heart failure (e.g., to allow
for reinstitution of oral medications or to bridge patients to
heart transplantation) whereas in chronic heart failure, orally
given digoxin is used as an inotrope to relieve patient symptoms,
improve the quality of life, and reduce hospital admissions.
[0013] Given the limitations of current agents, new approaches are
needed to improve cardiac function in congestive heart failure. The
most recently approved short-term intravenous agent, milrinone, is
now nearly fifteen years old. The only available oral drug,
digoxin, is over 200 hundred years old. There remains a great need
for agents that exploit new mechanisms of action and may have
better outcomes in terms of relief of symptoms, safety, and patient
mortality, both short-term and long-term. New agents with an
improved therapeutic index over current agents will provide a means
to achieve these clinical outcomes.
[0014] The selectivity of agents directed at the cardiac sarcomere
(for example, by targeting cardiac beta myosin) has been identified
as an important means to achieve this improved therapeutic index.
The present invention provides such agents (particularly sarcomere
activating agents) and methods for their identification and
use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0015] The present invention provides compounds, pharmaceutical

[0070] The term "optional" or "optionally" means that the
subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur,
and that the description includes instances where said event or
circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For
example, "optionally substituted alkyl" means either "alkyl" or
"substituted alkyl," as defined below. It will be understood by
those skilled in the art with respect to any group containing one
or more substituents that such groups are not intended to introduce
any substitution or substitution patterns (e.g., substituted alkyl
includes optionally substituted cycloalkyl groups, which in turn
are defined as including optionally substituted alkyl groups,
potentially ad infinitum) that are sterically impractical,
synthetically non-feasible and/or inherently unstable.
[0071] "Alkyl" is intended to include linear, branched, or cyclic
hydrocarbon structures and combinations thereof. Lower alkyl refers
to alkyl groups of from 1 to 5 carbon atoms. Examples of lower
alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, s-
and t-butyl and the like. Preferred alkyl groups are those of
C.sub.20 or below. More preferred alkyl groups are those of
C.sub.13 or below. Still more preferred alkyl groups are those of
C.sub.6 and below. Cycloalkyl is a subset of alkyl and includes
cyclic hydrocarbon groups of from 3 to 13 carbon atoms. Examples of
cycloalkyl groups include c-propyl, c-butyl, c-pentyl, norbornyl,
adamantyl and the like. In this application, alkyl refers to
alkanyl, alkenyl and alkynyl residues; it is intended to include
cyclohexylmethyl, vinyl, allyl, isoprenyl and the like. Alkylene is
another subset of alkyl, referring to the same residues as alkyl,
but having two points of attachment. Examples of alkylene include
ethylene (--CH.sub.2CH.sub.2--), propylene
(--CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.2--), dimethylpropylene
(--CH.sub.2C(CH.sub.3).sub.2CH.sub.2--) and cyclohexylpropylene
(--CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH(C.sub.6H.sub.13)--). When an alkyl residue
having a specific number of carbons is named, all geometric isomers
having that number of carbons are intended to be encompassed; thus,
for example, "butyl" is meant to include n-butyl, sec-butyl,
isobutyl and t-butyl; "propyl" includes n-propyl and isopropyl.
[0072] The term "alkoxy" or "alkoxyl" refers to the group
--O-alkyl, preferably including from 1 to 8 carbon atoms of a
straight, branched, cyclic configuration and combinations thereof
attached to the parent structure through an oxygen. Examples
include methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, cyclopropyloxy,
cyclohexyloxy and the like. Lower-alkoxy refers to groups
containing one to four carbons.
[0073] The term "substituted alkoxy" refers to the group
--O-(substituted alkyl). One preferred substituted alkoxy group is
"polyalkoxy" or --O-(optionally substituted alkylene)-(optionally
substituted alkoxy), and includes groups such as
--OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2OCH.sub.3, and glycol ethers such as
polyethyleneglycol and --O(CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.xCH.sub.3, where
x is an integer of about 2-20, preferably about 2-10, and more
preferably about 2-5. Another preferred substituted alkoxy group is
hydroxyalkoxy or --OCH.sub.2(CH.sub.2).sub.yOH, where y is an
integer of about 1-10, preferably about 1-4.
[0074] "Acyl" refers to groups of from 1 to 10 carbon atoms of a
straight, branched, cyclic configuration, saturated, unsaturated
and aromatic and combinations thereof, attached to the parent
structure through a carbonyl functionality. One or more carbons in
the acyl residue may be replaced by nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur as
long as the point of attachment to the parent remains at the
carbonyl. Examples include a cetyl, benzoyl, propionyl, isobutyryl,
t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl and the like. "Lower-acyl"
refers to groups containing 1 to 4 carbons; "acyloxy" refers to the
group O-acyl.
[0075] The term "amino" refers to the group --NH.sub.2. The term
"substituted amino" refers to the group --NHR or --NRR where each R
is independently selected from the group: optionally substituted
alkyl, optionally substituted alkoxy, optionally substituted amino,
optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl,
optionally substituted heterocyclyl, acyl, alkoxycarbonyl,
sulfanyl, sulfinyl and sulfonyl, e.g., diethylamino,
methylsulfonylamino, furanyl-oxy-sulfonamino.
[0076] "Aryl" means a 5- or 6-membered aromatic ring, a bicyclic 9-
or 10-membered aromatic ring system, or a tricyclic 12- to
14-membered aromatic ring system. Examples include
cyclopenta-1,3-diene, phenyl, naphthyl, indane, tetraline,
fluorene, cyclopenta[b]naphthalene and anthracene.
[0077] "Aralkoxy" refers to the group --O-aralkyl. Similarly,
"heteroaralkoxy" refers to the group --O-heteroaralkyl; "aryloxy"
refers to --O-aryl; and "heteroaryloxy" refers to the group
O-heteroaryl.
[0078] "Aralkyl" refers to a residue in which an aryl moiety is
attached to the parent structure via an alkyl residue. Examples
include benzyl, phenethyl, phenylvinyl, phenylallyl and the like.
"Heteroaralkyl" refers to a residue in which a heteroaryl moiety is
attached to the parent structure via an alkyl residue. Examples
include furanylmethyl, pyridinylmethyl, pyrimidinylethyl and the
like.
[0079] "ATPase" refers to an enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP. ATPases
include proteins comprising molecular motors such as the
myosins.
[0080] "Halogen" or "halo" refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine or
iodine. Fluorine, chlorine and bromine are preferred. Dihaloaryl,
dihaloalkyl, trihaloaryl etc. refer to aryl and alkyl substituted
with a plurality of halogens, but not necessarily a plurality of
the same halogen; thus 4-chloro-3-fluorophenyl is within the scope
of dihaloaryl.
[0081] "Heteroaryl" means a 5- or 6-membered aromatic ring
containing 14 heteroatoms, a bicyclic 8-, 9- or 10-membered
aromatic ring system containing 1-4 (or more) heteroatoms, or a
tricyclic 11- to 14-membered aromatic ring system containing 1-4
(or more) heteroatoms; the heteroatoms are selected from O, N or S.

triazole, tetrazole, dithiole, oxazole, isoxazole, oxadiazole,
thiazole, thiopyran, pyridine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine,
indole, benzofuran, benzothiophene, quinoline, isoquinoline and
quinoxaline.
[0082] "Heterocycle" or "heterocyclyl" refers to a cycloalkyl
residue in which one to four of the carbons is replaced by a
heteroatom such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur. a 4-, 5-, 6- or
7-membered non-aromatic ring containing 1-4 heteroatoms, a bicyclic
8-, 9- or 10-membered non-aromatic ring system containing 1-4 (or
more) heteroatoms, or a tricyclic 11- to 14-membered non-aromatic

tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydro-thiophene, thiazolidine, piperidine,
tetrahydro-pyran, tetrahydro-thiopyran, piperazine, morpholine,
thiomorpholine and dioxane. Heterocyclyl also includes ring systems
including unsaturated bonds, provided the number and placement of
unsaturation does not render the group aromatic. Examples include
imidazoline, oxazoline, tetrahydroisoquinoline, benzodioxan,
benzodioxole and 3,5-dihydrobenzoxazinyl. Examples of substituted
heterocyclyl include 4-methyl-1-piperazinyl and

[0083] "Isomers" are different compounds that have the same
molecular formula. "Stereoisomers" are isomers that differ only in
the way the atoms are arranged in space. "Enantiomers" are a pair
of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each
other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a "racemic"
mixture. The term "(..+-..)" is used to designate a racemic mixture
where appropriate. "Diastereoisomers" are stereoisomers that have
at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of
each other. The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to
the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog R-S system. When a compound is a pure
enantiomer the stereochemistry at each chiral carbon may be
specified by either R or S. Resolved compounds whose absolute
configuration is unknown can be designated (+) or (-) depending on
the direction (dextro- or levorotatory) which they rotate plane
polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line. Certain of
the compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric
centers and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and
other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of
absolute stereochemistry, as (R) -- or (S)--. The present invention
is meant to include all such possible isomers, including racemic
mixtures, optically pure forms and intermediate mixtures. Optically
active (R)- and (S)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons
or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. When
the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or
other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified
otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z
geometric isomers. All tautomeric forms are also intended to be
included.
[0084] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" or
"pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" includes any and all
solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal
agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like. The
use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances
is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media
or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the
therapeutic compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active
ingredients can also be incorporated into the compositions.
[0085] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to salts
that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the
compounds of this invention and, which are not biologically or
otherwise undesirable. In many cases, the compounds of this
invention are capable of forming acid and/or base salts by virtue
of the presence of amino and/or carboxyl groups or groups similar
thereto. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be
formed with inorganic acids and organic acids. Inorganic acids from
which salts can be derived include, for example, hydrochloric acid,
hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and
the like. Organic acids from which salts can be derived include,
for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic
acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid,
fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic
acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid,
p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like.
Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be formed with
inorganic and organic bases. Inorganic bases from which salts can
be derived include, for example, sodium, potassium, lithium,
ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese,
aluminum, and the like; particularly preferred are the ammonium,
potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium salts. Organic bases from
which salts can be derived include, for example, primary,
secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including
naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, basic ion
exchange resins, and the like, specifically such as isopropylamine,
trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, and
ethanolamine.
[0086] The term "solvate" refers to a compound (e.g., a compound of
Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) in
physical association with one or more molecules of a
pharmaceutically acceptable solvent. It will be understood that
phrases such as "a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically
acceptable salt or solvate thereof" are intended to encompass the
compound of Formula I, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the
compound, a solvate of the compound, and a solvate of a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound.
[0087] "Substituted-" alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl and heterocyclyl
refer respectively to alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl and heterocyclyl
wherein one or more (up to about 5, preferably up to about 3)
hydrogen atoms are replaced by a substituent independently selected
from the group: acyl, optionally substituted alkyl (e.g.,
fluoroalkyl), optionally substituted alkoxy, alkylenedioxy (e.g.

substituted heterocyclyl).
[0089] The term "sulfinyl" refers to the groups: --S(O)--H,
--S(O)-(optionally substituted alkyl), --S(O)-(optionally
substituted amino), --S(O)-(optionally substituted aryl),
--S(O)-(optionally substituted heteroaryl), and --S(O)-(optionally
substituted heterocyclyl).
[0090] The term "sulfonyl" refers to the groups: --S(O.sub.2)--H,

--S(O.sub.2)-(optionally substituted heterocyclyloxy).
[0091] The term "therapeutically effective amount" or "effective
amount" refers to that amount of a compound of Formula I that is
sufficient to effect treatment, as defined below, when administered
to a mammal in need of such treatment. The therapeutically
effective amount will vary depending upon the subject and disease
condition being treated, the weight and age of the subject, the
severity of the disease condition, the particular compound of
Formula I chosen, the dosing regimen to be followed, timing of
administration, the manner of administration and the like, all of
which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the
art.
[0092] The term "treatment" or "treating" means any treatment of a
disease in a mammal, including: [0093] a) preventing the disease,
that is, causing the clinical symptoms of the disease not to
develop; [0094] b) inhibiting the disease, that is, slowing or
arresting the development of clinical symptoms; and/or [0095] c)
relieving the disease, that is, causing the regression of clinical
symptoms.

Synthesis of the Compounds of Formula I
[0138] The compounds of the invention can be synthesized utilizing
techniques well known in the art, e.g., as illustrated below with
reference to the Reaction Schemes.
Synthetic Reaction Parameters
[0139] Unless specified to the contrary, the reactions described
herein take place at atmospheric pressure, generally within a
temperature range from -10.degree. C. to 110.degree. C. Further,
except as employed in the Examples or as otherwise specified,
reaction times and conditions are intended to be approximate, e.g.,
taking place at about atmospheric pressure within a temperature
range of about -10.degree. C. to about 110.degree. C. over a period
of about 1 to about 24 hours; reactions left to run overnight
average a period of about 16 hours.
[0140] The terms "solvent", "organic solvent" or "inert solvent"
each mean a solvent inert under the conditions of the reaction
being described in conjunction therewith [including, for example,
benzene, toluene, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran ("THF"),
dimethylformamide ("DMF"), chloroform, methylene chloride (or
dichloromethane), diethyl ether, methanol, pyridine and the like].
Unless specified to the contrary, the solvents used in the
reactions of the present invention are inert organic solvents.
[0141] The term "q.s." means adding a quantity sufficient to
achieve a stated function, e.g., to bring a solution to the desired
volume (i.e., 100%).
[0142] Isolation and purification of the compounds and
intermediates described herein can be effected, if desired, by any
suitable separation or purification procedure such as, for example,
filtration, extraction, crystallization, column chromatography,
thin-layer chromatography or thick-layer chromatography, or a
combination of these procedures. Specific illustrations of suitable
separation and isolation procedures can be had by reference to the
examples hereinbelow. However, other equivalent separation or
isolation procedures can, of course, also be used.
[0143] When desired, the (R)- and (S)-isomers may be resolved by
methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by formation
of diastereoisomeric salts or complexes which may be separated, for
example, by crystallization; via formation of diastereoisomeric
derivatives which may be separated, for example, by
crystallization, gas-liquid or liquid chromatography; selective
reaction of one enantiomer with an enantiomer-specific reagent, for
example enzymatic oxidation or reduction, followed by separation of
the modified and unmodified enantiomers; or gas-liquid or liquid
chromatography in a chiral environment, for example on a chiral
support, such as silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the
presence of a chiral solvent. For example, a compound of Formula I
can be dissolved in a lower alkanol and placed on a Chiralpak AD
(205.times.20 mm) column (Chiral Technologies, Inc.) conditioned
for 60 min at 70% EtOAc in Hexane. It will be appreciated that
where the desired enantiomer is converted into another chemical
entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a
further step may be required to liberate the desired enantiomeric
form. Alternatively, a specific enantiomer may be synthesized by
asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates,
catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer to the other
by asymmetric transformation.
Brief Description of Reaction Schemes
[0144] Reaction Scheme 1 illustrates the synthesis of compounds of
Formula I.
[0145] Reaction Scheme 2 illustrates an alternative synthesis of
compounds of Formula I.
[0146] Reaction Scheme 3 illustrates the preparation of compounds
of Formula 305, which are useful as intermediates in the synthesis
of compounds of Formula I.
[0147] Reaction Schemes 4 and 5 illustrate the preparation of
stereospecific reactants useful in the asymmetric synthesis of
single enantiomers of compounds of Formula I.
[0148] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that one
or more of the reactants, steps and/or conditions described in the
reaction schemes may require adjustment to accommodate various
substituents at R.sup.1 and R.sup.2.
Materials
[0149] Many of the optionally substituted starting compounds 101,
103, 201, 301a and 301b and other reactants are commercially
available, e.g., from Aldrich Chemical Company (Milwaukee, Wis.) or
can be readily prepared by those skilled in the art using commonly
employed synthetic methodology.
##STR00017##
[0150] Preparation of Compounds of Formula I Referring to Reaction
Scheme 1, a flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, reflux
condenser and thermal well, under nitrogen, is charged with
phosgene or a phosgene equivalent (typically triphosgene) and a
nonpolar, aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane or
tetrahydrofuran. A solution of a compound of Formula 101 in a
nonpolar, aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane or
tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise over about 10-60 minutes and the
solution is allowed to stir between 1 to 15 hr. A compound of
Formula 103 is added portionwise, and the solution is stirred for
about 10-60 min. A base, such as DIEA, is added dropwise for about
one hour, and the solution is allowed to stir for about 1-15 hr.
The product, a compound of Formula 105, is isolated and
purified.
##STR00018##
[0151] Preparation of Compounds of Formula I Reaction Scheme 2
illustrates an alternative synthesis of compounds of Formula I. The
isocyanate of Formula 201 can be formed and isolated independently
from either corresponding amine (i.e., R.sup.2--NH.sub.2) using
phosgene or a phosgene equivalent or from the corresponding
carboxylic acid (i.e., R.sup.2--COOH) using a Curtius or Hoffman
rearrangement. A mixture of compounds of Formula 101 and 201 in an
aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane or tetrahydrofuran from
40.degree. C. to 110.degree. C. is allowed to stir for between 1 to
15 hr. The product, a compound of Formula I, is isolated and
purified.

[0154] Preparation of Formula 305 Referring to Reaction Scheme 3,
Step 2, a Parr hydrogenation bomb is charged with 10% Pd/C under a
nitrogen atmosphere, followed by a solution of a compound of
Formula 303 in a polar, protic solvent such as ethanol. The
reaction is stirred for about 24 hr under about 70 psi H.sub.2. The
reaction mixture is filtered through celite and concentrated in
vacuo to afford a compound of Formula 305, which can be carried
forward to Formula I as illustrated with respect to Reaction
Schemes 1 and 2.
[0155] Preparation of Specific Enantiomers of Formula I As
discussed above, a specific enantiomer of Formula I can be
synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active
reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one
enantiomer to the other by asymmetric transformation. For example,
(R)- and (S)-3-hydroxypiperidine are commercially available are
commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, as are (R)- and
(S)-hydroxypyrrolidine; they can also be resolved [e.g., using
(6,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-adamantan-1-yl)-methane sulfonic acid, see:
Ringdahl et al., J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. II, 1981, 4, 697-8]
and via other published methodology. Additional asymmetric
synthetic approaches can be employed as illustrated in Reaction
Schemes 4 and 5, in which PG represents an orthogonal protecting
group (or a hydrogen, depending on the stage of synthesis, as will
be appreciated by those skilled in the art), LG represents a
leaving group, and n is 1, 2 or 3. These protecting and leaving
groups can be readily inserted and removed by those skilled in the
art using commonly employed synthetic methodology.

[0156] Preparation of Formula 403 Referring to Reaction Scheme 4,
Steps 1 and 2, a compound of Formula 401 is combined with about 1

to 48 hours. The product, a compound of Formula 403, is isolated
conventionally and then treated with a reducing agent (such as
lithium aluminum hydride or borane) in an aprotic solvent such as
THF. The reaction takes place at -20.degree. C. to 100.degree. C.
over a period of 1 to 48 hours. The product, a compound of Formula
403, is then isolated conventionally, and can be carried forward to
the compounds of Formula I, e.g., as described above.
##STR00021##
[0157] Preparation of Formula 502 Referring to Reaction Scheme 5,
Step 1, a compound of Formula 501 is treated with a reducing agent
(such as lithium aluminum hydride or lithium borohydride) in
solvent such as THF. The reaction takes place at -20.degree. C. to
100.degree. C. over a period of 1 to 48 hours. The product, a
compound of Formula 502, is isolated conventionally.
[0158] Preparation of Formula 503 Referring to Reaction Scheme 5,
Steps 2 and 3, a compound of formula 502 is stirred with an
acylating agent, such as trifluoroacetic anhydride in a solvent,
such as THF from -78 C to 70 C for 1 to 12 hours. After addition of
a base, such as triethylamine, the mixture is stirred at 20.degree.
C. to reflux from 8 to 48 hours. The product, a compound of Formula
503, is isolated conventionally (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No.
6,316,626) and can be carried forward to the compounds of Formula
I, e.g., as described above.
[0159] Compounds prepared by the above-described process of the
invention can be identified, e.g., by the presence of a detectable
amount of Formula 101, 103, 201 or 305. While it is well known that
pharmaceuticals must meet pharmacopoeia standards before approval
and/or marketing, and that synthetic reagents (such as the various
substituted amines or alcohols) and precursors should not exceed
the limits prescribed by pharmacopoeia standards, final compounds
prepared by a process of the present invention may have minor, but
detectable, amounts of such materials present, for example at
levels in the range of 95% purity with no single impurity greater
than 1%. These levels can be detected, e.g., by emission
spectroscopy. It is important to monitor the purity of
pharmaceutical compounds for the presence of such materials, which
presence is additionally disclosed as a method of detecting use of
a synthetic process of the invention.

optionally substituted pyridinyl. [0226] R.sup.2 is phenyl having
one or two substituents selected from: lower alkyl, lower alkoxy,
halo, hydroxy and hydroxy lower alkyl. [0227] R.sup.2 is
pyridin-2-yl, pyridin-3-yl or pyridin-4-yl optionally having a
substituent selected from: acetyl, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower
alkoxyalkyl, lower alkoxy carbonyl, carboxy and trifluoromethyl.
[0228] R.sup.2 is optionally-p-substituted pyridin-3-yl. [0229]
R.sup.2 is pyridin-3-yl optionally p-substituted with a member of
the group: acetyl, methyl, ethyl, methoxy, methoxymethyl, hydroxy,
hydroxymethyl and hydroxyethyl. [0230] R.sup.2 is pyridin-3-yl or
6-methyl-pyridin-3-yl. Thus, the compounds where R.sup.1 is
represented by Formula II in which X is --, Y and Z are --C.dbd.,
R.sup.1.2 is hydrogen, R.sup.1.3 is fluoro, including those where
the above-described groupings and sub-groups of substituents are
taken individually and/or combined together as illustrated with
regard to those compounds where R.sup.1.1 is tetrahydrofuranyl,
tetrahydropyranyl, substituted-pyrrolidinyl,
substituted-piperidinyl, pyridinyl or hydroxy-lower alkyl-phenyl,
are particularly preferred for practice of the present invention,
as are the compounds of Formula III.
[0231] In another embodiment, where R.sup.1 is represented by
Formula II in which X is --O--, Y and Z are --C.dbd., R.sup.1.1 is
N-substituted-piperidin-3-yl, R.sup.1.2 is hydrogen, R.sup.1.3 is
fluoro, and R.sup.2 is pyridin-3-yl, modulation of myocyte
contractility, aortic ring dilation and protein binding properties
has been observed by varying the substituent on R.sup.1.1, for
example as between N-acyl, methyl carbamate, dimethyl urea,
morpholinyl urea, piperidinyl urea, piperazinyl urea,
N,N-dimethylcyanoguanidine, and sulfamide analogues, as well as
certain N-substituted pyrrolidin-2-yl homologs (such modulation
also being influenced by stereochemistry and the nature of the
other substituent groups).

Utility, Testing and Administration
[0503] The compounds of the present invention are selective for and
modulate the cardiac sarcomere, and are useful to bind to and/or
potentiate the activity of cardiac myosin, increasing the rate at
which myosin hydrolyzes ATP. As used in this context, "modulate"
means either increasing or decreasing myosin activity, whereas
"potentiate" means to increase activity. It has also been
determined in testing representative compounds of the invention,
that their administration can also increase the contractile force
in cardiac muscle fiber.
[0504] The compounds, pharmaceutical formulations and methods of
the invention are used to treat heart disease, including but not
limited to: acute (or decompensated) congestive heart failure, and
chronic congestive heart failure; particularly diseases associated
with systolic heart dysfunction. Additional therapeutic utilities
include administration to stabilize heart function in patients
awaiting a heart transplant, and to assist a stopped or slowed
heart in resuming normal function following use of a bypass
pump.
Testing
[0505] ATP hydrolysis is employed by myosin in the sarcomere to
produce force. Therefore, an increase in ATP hydrolysis would
correspond to an increase in the force or velocity of muscle
contraction. In the presence of actin, myosin ATPase activity is
stimulated >100 fold. Thus, ATP hydrolysis not only measures
myosin enzymatic activity but also its interaction with the actin
filament. A compound that modulates the cardiac sarcomere can be
identified by an increase or decrease in the rate of ATP hydrolysis
by myosin, preferably exhibiting a 1.4 fold increase at
concentrations less than 10 .mu.M (more preferably, less than 1
.mu.M). Preferred assays for such activity will employ myosin from
a human source, although myosin from other organisms can also be
used. Systems that model the regulatory role of calcium in myosin
binding are also preferred.
[0506] Alternatively, a biochemically functional sarcomere
preparation can be used to determine in vitro ATPase activity, for
example, as described in U.S. Ser. No. 09/539,164, filed Mar. 29,
2000. The functional biochemical behavior of the sarcomere,
including calcium sensitivity of ATPase hydrolysis, can be
reconstituted by combining its purified individual components
(particularly including its regulatory components and myosin).
Another functional preparation is the in vitro motility assay. It
can be performed by adding test compound to a myosin-bound slide
and observing the velocity of actin filaments sliding over the
myosin covered glass surface (Kron S J. (1991) Methods Enzymol.
196:399416).
[0507] The in vitro rate of ATP hydrolysis correlates to myosin
potentiating activity, which can be determined by monitoring the
production of either ADP or phosphate, for example as described in
Ser. No. 09/314,464, filed May 18, 1999. ADP production can also be
monitored by coupling the ADP production to NADH oxidation (using
the enzymes pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase) and
monitoring the NADH level either by absorbance or fluorescence
(Greengard, P., Nature 178 (Part 4534): 632-634 (1956); Mol
Pharmacol 1970 Jan. 6(1):3140). Phosphate production can be
monitored using purine nucleoside phosphorylase to couple phosphate
production to the cleavage of a purine analog, which results in
either a change in absorbance (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1992 Jun. 1;
89(11):4884-7) or fluorescence (Biochem J 1990 Mar. 1 ;
266(2):611-4). While a single measurement can be employed, it is
preferred to take multiple measurements of the same sample at
different times in order to determine the absolute rate of the
protein activity; such measurements have higher specificity
particularly in the presence of test compounds that have similar
absorbance or fluorescence properties with those of the enzymatic
readout.
[0508] Test compounds can be assayed in a highly parallel fashion
using multiwell plates by placing the compounds either individually
in wells or testing them in mixtures. Assay components including
the target protein complex, coupling enzymes and substrates, and
ATP can then be added to the wells and the absorbance or
fluorescence of each well of the plate can be measured with a plate
reader.
[0509] A preferred method uses a 384 well plate format and a 25
.mu.L reaction volume. A pyruvate kinase/lactate dehydrogenase
coupled enzyme system (Huang T G and Hackney D D. (1994) J Biol
Chem 269(23):16493-16501) is used to measure the rate of ATP
hydrolysis in each well. As will be appreciated by those in the
art, the assay components are added in buffers and reagents. Since
the methods outlined herein allow kinetic measurements, incubation
periods are optimized to give adequate detection signals over the
background. The assay is done in real time giving the kinetics of
ATP hydrolysis, which increases the signal to noise ratio of the
assay.
[0510] Modulation of cardiac muscle fiber contractile force can be
measured using detergent permeabilized cardiac fibers (also
referred to as skinned cardiac fibers), for example, as described
by Haikala H, et al (1995) J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 25(5):794-801.
Skinned cardiac fibers retain their intrinsic sarcomeric
organization, but do not retain all aspects of cellular calcium
cycling, this model offers two advantages: first, the cellular
membrane is not a barrier to compound penetration, and second,
calcium concentration is controlled. Therefore, any increase in
contractile force is a direct measure of the test compound's effect
on sarcomeric proteins. Tension measurements are made by mounting
one end of the muscle fiber to a stationary post and the other end
to a transducer that can measure force. After stretching the fiber
to remove slack, the force transducer records increased tension as
the fiber begins to contract. This measurement is called the
isometric tension, since the fiber is not allowed to shorten.
Activation of the permeabilized muscle fiber is accomplished by
placing it in a buffered calcium solution, followed by addition of
test compound or control. When tested in this manner, compounds of
the invention caused an increase in force at calcium concentrations
associated with physiologic contractile activity, but very little
augmentation of force in relaxing buffer at low calcium
concentrations or in the absence of calcium (the EGTA data
point).
[0511] Selectivity for the cardiac sarcomere and cardiac myosin can
be determined by substituting non-cardiac sarcomere components and
myosin in one or more of the above-described assays and comparing
the results obtained against those obtained using the cardiac
equivalents.
[0512] A compound's ability to increase observed ATPase rate in an
in vitro reconstituted sarcomere assay could result from the
increased turnover rate of S1-myosin or, alternatively, increased
sensitivity of a decorated actin filament to Ca.sup.++-activation.
To distinguish between these two possible modes of action, the
effect of the compound on ATPase activity of Si with undecorated
actin filaments is initially measured. If an increase of activity
is observed, the compound's effect on the Ca-responsive regulatory
apparatus could be disproved. A second, more sensitive assay, can
be employed to identify compounds whose activating effect on
S1-myosin is enhanced in the presence of a decorated actin
(compared to pure actin filaments). In this second assay activities
of cardiac-S1 and skeletal-S1 on cardiac and skeletal regulated
actin filaments (in all 4 permutations) are compared. A compound
that displays its effect on cardiac-S1/cardiac actin and
cardiac-S1/skeletal actin, but not on skeletal-S1/skeletal actin
and skeletal-S1/cardiac actin systems, can be confidently
classified as cardiac-S1 activator.
[0513] Initial evaluation of in vivo activity can be determined in
cellular models of myocyte contractility, e.g., as described by
Popping S, et al ((1996) Am. J. Physiol. 271: H357-H364) and Wolska
B M, et al ((1996) Am. J. Physiol. 39:H24-H32). One advantage of
the myocyte model is that the component systems that result in
changes in contractility can be isolated and the major site(s) of
action determined. Compounds with cellular activity (for example,
selecting compounds having the following profile: >120% increase
in fractional shortening over basal at 2 .mu.M, limited changes in
diastolic length (<5% change), and no significant decrease in
contraction or relaxation velocities) can then be assessed in whole
organ models, such as such as the Isolated Heart (Langendorff)
model of cardiac function, in vivo using echocardiography or
invasive hemodynamic measures, and in animal-based heart failure
models, such as the Rat Left Coronary Artery Occlusion model.
Ultimately, activity for treating heart disease is demonstrated in
blinded, placebo-controlled, human clinical trials.
Administration
[0514] The compounds of Formula I are administered at a
therapeutically effective dosage, e.g., a dosage sufficient to
provide treatment for the disease states previously described.
While human dosage levels have yet to be optimized for the
compounds of the invention, generally, a daily dose is from about
0.05 to 100 mg/kg of body weight, preferably about 0.10 to 10.0
mg/kg of body weight, and most preferably about 0.15 to 1.0 mg/kg
of body weight. Thus, for administration to a 70 kg person, the
dosage range would be about 3.5 to 7000 mg per day, preferably
about 7.0 to 700.0 mg per day, and most preferably about 10.0 to
100.0 mg per day. The amount of active compound administered will,
of course, be dependent on the subject and disease state being
treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner and schedule of
administration and the judgment of the prescribing physician; for
example, a likely dose range for oral administration would be about
70 to 700 mg per day, whereas for intravenous administration a
likely dose range would be about 700 to 7000 mg per day, the active
agents being selected for longer or shorter plasma half-lives,
respectively.
[0515] Administration of the compounds of the invention or the
pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be via any of the
accepted modes of administration for agents that serve similar
utilities including, but not limited to, orally, subcutaneously,
intravenously, intranasally, topically, transdermally,
intraperitoneally, intramuscularly, intrapulmonarilly, vaginally,
rectally, or intraocularly. Oral and parenteral administration are
customary in treating the indications that are the subject of the
present invention.
[0516] Pharmaceutically acceptable compositions include solid,
semi-solid, liquid and aerosol dosage forms, such as, e.g.,
tablets, capsules, powders, liquids, suspensions, suppositories,
aerosols or the like. The compounds can also be administered in
sustained or controlled release dosage forms, including depot
injections, osmotic pumps, pills, transdermal (including
electrotransport) patches, and the like, for prolonged and/or
timed, pulsed administration at a predetermined rate. Preferably,
the compositions are provided in unit dosage forms suitable for
single administration of a precise dose.
[0517] The compounds can be administered either alone or more
typically in combination with a conventional pharmaceutical
carrier, excipient or the like (e.g., mannitol, lactose, starch,
magnesium stearate, sodium saccharine, talcum, cellulose, sodium
crosscarmellose, glucose, gelatin, sucrose, magnesium carbonate,
and the like). If desired, the pharmaceutical composition can also
contain minor amounts of nontoxic auxiliary substances such as
wetting agents, emulsifying agents, solubilizing agents, pH
buffering agents and the like (e.g., sodium acetate, sodium
citrate, cyclodextrine derivatives, sorbitan monolaurate,
triethanolamine acetate, triethanolamine oleate, and the like).
Generally, depending on the intended mode of administration, the
pharmaceutical formulation will contain about 0.005% to 95%,
preferably about 0.5% to 50% by weight of a compound of the
invention. Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known,
or will be apparent, to those skilled in this art; for example, see
Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company,
Easton, Pa.
[0518] In addition, the compounds of the invention can be
co-administered with, and the pharmaceutical compositions can
include, other medicinal agents, pharmaceutical agents, adjuvants,
and the like. Suitable additional active agents include, for
example: therapies that retard the progression of heart failure by
down-regulating neurohormonal stimulation of the heart and attempt
to prevent cardiac remodeling (e.g., ACE inhibitors or
.beta.-blockers); therapies that improve cardiac function by
stimulating cardiac contractility (e.g., positive inotropic agents,
such as the .beta.-adrenergic agonist dobutamine or the
phosphodiesterase inhibitor milrinone); and therapies that reduce
cardiac preload (e.g., diuretics, such as furosemide).
[0519] In one preferred embodiment, the compositions will take the
form of a pill or tablet and thus the composition will contain,
along with the active ingredient, a diluent such as lactose,
sucrose, dicalcium phosphate, or the like; a lubricant such as
magnesium stearate or the like; and a binder such as starch, gum
acacia, polyvinylpyrrolidine, gelatin, cellulose, cellulose
derivatives or the like. In another solid dosage form, a powder,
marume, solution or suspension (e.g., in propylene carbonate,
vegetable oils or triglycerides) is encapsulated in a gelatin
capsule.
[0520] Liquid pharmaceutically administrable compositions can, for
example, be prepared by dissolving, dispersing, etc. an active
compound as defined above and optional pharmaceutical adjuvants in
a carrier (e.g., water, saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol,
glycols, ethanol or the like) to form a solution or suspension.
Injectables can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid
solutions or suspensions, as emulsions, or in solid forms suitable
for dissolution or suspension in liquid prior to injection. The
percentage of active compound contained in such parenteral
compositions is highly dependent on the specific nature thereof, as
well as the activity of the compound and the needs of the subject.
However, percentages of active ingredient of 0.01% to 10% in
solution are employable, and will be higher if the composition is a
solid which will be subsequently diluted to the above percentages.
Preferably the composition will comprise 0.2-2% of the active agent
in solution.
[0521] Formulations of the active compound or a salt may also be
administered to the respiratory tract as an aerosol or solution for
a nebulizer, or as a microfine powder for insufflation, alone or in
combination with an inert carrier such as lactose. In such a case,
the particles of the formulation have diameters of less than 50
microns, preferably less than 10 microns.
Use In Screening
[0522] Generally, to employ the compounds of the invention in a
method of screening for myosin binding, myosin is bound to a
support and a compound of the invention is added to the assay.
Alternatively, the compound of the invention can be bound to the
support and the myosin added. Classes of compounds among which
novel binding agents may be sought include specific antibodies,
non-natural binding agents identified in screens of chemical
libraries, peptide analogs, etc. Of particular interest are
screening assays for candidate agents that have a low toxicity for
human cells. A wide variety of assays may be used for this purpose,
including labeled in vitro protein-protein binding assays,
electrophoretic mobility shift assays, immunoassays for protein
binding, functional assays (phosphorylation assays, etc.) and the
like. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,495,337, incorporated herein by
reference.

sodium bicarbonate were added, and the solution was stirred
overnight (without vacuum). The solids were filtered and rinsed
with 24 L (12 L per flask) dichloromethane. The filtrates were
split into 4 L quantities per 20 L carboys and diluted with 1690 L

Target Identification Assays
[0573] Specificity assays: Compound specificity towards cardiac
myosin is evaluated by comparing the effect of the compound on
actin-stimulated ATPase of a panel of myosin isoforms: cardiac,
skeletal and smooth muscle, at a single 50 .mu.M compound
concentration.
[0574] Myofibril assays: To evaluate the effect of compounds on the
ATPase activity of full-length cardiac myosin in the context of
native sarcomere, skinned myofibril assays are performed. Rat
cardiac myofibrils are obtained by homogenizing rat cardiac tissue
in the presence of detergent. Such treatment removes membranes and
majority of soluble cytoplasmic proteins but leaves intact cardiac
sarcomeric acto-myosin apparatus. Myofibril preparations retain the
ability to hydrolyze ATP in an Ca.sup.++ controlled manner. ATPase
activities of such myofibril preparations in the presence and
absence of compounds are assayed at Ca.sup.++ concentrations giving
50% and 100% of a maximal rate.
Example 19
In Vitro Model of Dose Dependent Cardiac Myosin ATPase
Modulation
[0575] Dose responses are measured using a calcium-buffered,
pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase-coupled ATPase assay
containing the following reagents (concentrations expressed are
final assay concentrations): Potassium PIPES (12 mM), MgCl.sub.2 (2
mM), ATP (1 mM), DTT (1 mM), BSA (0.1 mg/ml), NADH (0.5 mM), PEP
(1.5 mM), pyruvate kinase (4 U/ml), lactate dehydrogenase (8 U/ml),
and antifoam (90 ppm). The pH is adjusted to 6.80 at 22.degree. C.
by addition of potassium hydroxide. Calcium levels are controlled
by a buffering system containing 0.6 mM EGTA and varying
concentrations of calcium, to achieve a free calcium concentration
of 1.times.10.sup.-4 M to 1.times.10.sup.-8 M.
[0576] The protein components specific to this assay are bovine
cardiac myosin subfragment-1 (typically 0.5 IBM), bovine cardiac
actin (14 .mu.M), bovine cardiac tropomyosin (typically 3 .mu.M),
and bovine cardiac troponin (typically 3-8 .mu.M). The exact
concentrations of tropomyosin and troponin are determined
empirically, by titration to achieve maximal difference in ATPase
activity when measured in the presence of 1 mM EGTA versus that
measured in the presence of 0.2 mM CaCl.sub.2. The exact
concentration of myosin in the assay is also determined
empirically, by titration to achieve a desired rate of ATP
hydrolysis. This varies between protein preparations, due to
variations in the fraction of active molecules in each
preparation.
[0577] Compound dose responses are typically measured at the
calcium concentration corresponding to 50% of maximal ATPase
activity (pCa.sub.50), so a preliminary experiment is performed to
test the response of the ATPase activity to free calcium
concentrations in the range of 1.times.10.sup.4 M to
1.times.10.sup.4 M. Subsequently, the assay mixture is adjusted to
the pCa.sub.50 (typically 3.times.10.sup.-7 M). Assays are
performed by first preparing a dilution series of test compound,
each with an assay mixture containing potassium Pipes, MgCl.sub.2,
BSA, DTT, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, myosin
subfragment-1, antifoam, EGTA, CaCl.sub.2, and water. The assay is
started by adding an equal volume of solution containing potassium
Pipes, MgCl.sub.2, BSA, DTT, ATP, NADH, PEP, actin, tropomyosin,
troponin, antifoam, and water. ATP hydrolysis is monitored by
absorbance at 340 nm. The resulting dose response curve is fit by
the 4 parameter equation y=Bottom+((Top-Bottom)/(1+((EC50/X)
Hill))). The AC1.4 is defined as the concentration at which ATPase
activity is 1.4-fold higher than the bottom of the dose curve.

Myocyte Assays
[0578] 20A. PREPARATION OF ADULT CARDIAC VENTRICULAR RAT MYOCYTES.
Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats are anesthetized with a mixture of
isoflurane gas and oxygen. Hearts are quickly excised, rinsed and
the ascending aorta cannulated. Continuous retrograde perfusion is
initiated on the hearts at a perfusion pressure of 60 cm H.sub.2O.
Hearts are first perfused with a nominally Ca.sup.2+ free modified
Krebs solution of the following composition: 110 mM NaCl, 2.6 mM
KCL, 1.2 mM KH.sub.2PO.sub.4 7H.sub.2O, 1.2 mM MgSO.sub.4, 2.1 mM
NaHCO.sub.3, 11 mM glucose and 4 mM Hepes (all Sigma). This medium
is not recirculated and is continually gassed with O.sub.2. After
approximately 3 minutes the heart is perfused with modified Krebs
buffer supplemented with 3.3% collagenase (169 .mu./mg activity,
Class II, Worthington Biochemical Corp., Freehold, N.J.) and 25
.mu.M final calcium concentration until the heart becomes
sufficiently blanched and soft. The heart is removed from the
cannulae, the atria and vessels discarded and the ventricles are
cut into small pieces. The myocytes are dispersed by gentle
agitation of the ventricular tissue in fresh collagenase containing
Krebs prior to being gently forced through a 200 sum nylon mesh in
a 50 cc tube. The resulting myocytes are resuspended in modified
Krebs solution containing 25 .mu.m calcium. Myocytes are made
calcium tolerant by addition of a calcium solution (100 mM stock)
at 10 minute intervals until 100 .mu.M calcium is achieved. After
30 minutes the supernatant is discarded and 30-50 ml of Tyrode
buffer (137 mM NaCL, 3.7 mM KCL, 0.5 mM MgCL, 11 mM glucose, 4 mM
Hepes, and 1.2 mM CaCl.sub.2, pH 7.4) is added to cells. Cells are
kept for 60 min at 37.degree. C. prior to initiating experiments
and used within 5 hrs of isolation. Preparations of cells are used
only if cells first passed QC criteria by responding to a standard
(>150% of basal) and isoproterenol (ISO; >250% of basal).
Additionally, only cells whose basal contractility is between 3 and
8% are used in the following experiments.
[0579] 20B. ADULT VENTRICULAR MYOCYTE CONTRACTILITY EXPERIMENTS.
Aliquots of Tyrode buffer containing myocytes are placed in
perfusion chambers (series 20 RC-27NE; Warner Instruments) complete
with heating platforms. Myocytes are allowed to attach, the
chambers heated to 37.degree. C., and the cells then perfused with
37 C Tyrode buffer. Myocytes are field stimulated at 1 Hz in with
platinum electrodes (20% above threshold). Only cells that have
clear striations, and are quiescent prior to pacing are used for
contractility experiments. To determine basal contractility,
myocytes are imaged through a 40.times. objective and using a
variable frame rate (60-240 Hz) charge-coupled device camera, the
images are digitized and displayed on a computer screen at a
sampling speed of 240 Hz. [Frame grabber, myopacer, acquisition,
and analysis software for cell contractility are available from
IonOptix (Milton, Mass.).] After a minimum 5 minute basal
contractility period, test compounds (0.01-15 .mu.M) are perfused
on the myocytes for 5 minutes. After this time, fresh Tyrode buffer
is perfused to determine compound washout characteristics. Using
edge detection strategy, contractility of the myocytes and
contraction and relaxation velocities are continuously
recorded.
[0580] 20C. CONTRACTILITY ANALYSIS: Three or more individual
myocytes are tested per compound, using two or more different
myocyte preparations. For each cell, twenty or more contractility
transients at basal (defined as 1 min prior to compound infusion)
and after compound addition, are averaged and compared. These
average transients are analyzed to determine changes in diastolic
length, and using the Ionwizard analysis program (IonOptix),
fractional shortening (% decrease in the diastolic length), and
maximum contraction and relaxation velocities (um/sec) are
determined. Analysis of individual cells are combined. Increase in
fractional shortening over basal indicates potentiation of myocyte
contractility.
[0581] 20D. CALCIUM TRANSIENT ANALYSIS: Fura loading: Cell
permeable Fura-2 (Molecular Probes) is dissolved in equal amounts
of pluronic (Mol Probes) and FBS for 10 min at RT. A 1 .mu.M Fura
stock solution is made in Tyrode buffer containing 500 mM
probenecid (Sigma). To load cells, this solution is added to
myocytes at RT. After 10 min. the buffer is removed, the cells
washed with Tyrode containing probenecid and incubated at RT for 10
min. This wash and incubation is repeated. Simultaneous
contractility and calcium measurements are determined within 40
min. of loading.
[0582] Imaging: A test compound is perfused on cells. Simultaneous
contractility and calcium transient ratios are determined at
baseline and after compound addition. Cells are digitally imaged
and contractility determined as described above, using that a red
filter in the light path to avoid interference with fluorescent
calcium measurements. Acquisition, analysis software and hardware
for calcium transient analysis are obtained from IonOptix. The
instrumentation for fluorescence measurement includes a xenon arc
lamp and a Hyperswitch dual excitation light source that alternates
between 340 and 380 wavelengths at 100 Hz by a galvo-driven mirror.
A liquid filled light guide delivers the dual excitation light to
the microscope and the emission fluorescence is determined using a
photomultiplier tube (PMT). The fluorescence system interface
routes the PMT signal and the ratios are recorded using the
Ionwizard acquisition program.
[0583] Analysis: For each cell, ten or more contractility and
calcium ratio transients at basal and after compound addition,
where averaged and compared. Contractility average transients are
analyzed using the Ionwizard analysis program to determine changes
in diastolic length, and fractional shortening (% decrease in the
diastolic length). The averaged calcium ratio transients are
analyzed using the Ionwizard analysis program to determine changes
in diastolic and systolic ratios and the 75% time to baseline
(T.sub.75).
[0584] 20E. DURABILITY: To determine the durability of response,
myocytes are challenged with a test compound for 25 minutes
followed by a 2 min. washout period. Contractility response is
compared at 5 and 25 min. following compound infusion.
[0585] 20F. THRESHOLD POTENTIAL: Myocytes are field stimulated at a
voltage approximately 20% above threshold. In these experiments the
threshold voltage (minimum voltage to pace cell) is empirically
determined, the cell paced at that threshold and then the test
compound is infused. After the compound activity is at steady
state, the voltage is decreased for 20 seconds and then restarted.
Alteration of ion channels corresponds to increasing or lowering
the threshold action potential.
[0586] 20G. HZ FREQUENCY: Contractility of myocytes is determined
at 3 Hz as follows: a 1 min. basal time point followed by perfusion
of the test compound for 5 min. followed by a 2 min. washout. After
the cell contractility has returned completely to baseline the Hz
frequency is decreased to 1. After an initial acclimation period
the cell is challenged by the same compound. As this species, rat,
exhibits a negative force frequency at 1 Hz, at 3 Hz the FS of the
cell should be lower, but the cell should still respond by
increasing its fractional shortening in the presence of the
compound.
[0587] 207H. ADDITIVE WITH ISOPROTERENOL: To demonstrate that a
compound act via a different mechanism than the adrenergic
stimulant isoproterenol, cells are loaded with fura-2 and
simultaneous measurement of contractility and calcium ratios are
determined. The myocytes are sequentially challenged with 5 .mu.m a
test compound, buffer, 2 nM isoproterenol, buffer, and a
combination of a test compound and isoproterenol.

In Vitro Model of Dose Dependent Cardiac Myosin ATPase
Modulation
[0588] Bovine and rat cardiac myosins are purified from the
respective cardiac tissues. Skeletal and smooth muscle myosins used
in the specificity studies are purified from rabbit skeletal muscle
and chicken gizzards, respectively. All myosins used in the assays
are converted to a single-headed soluble form (S1) by a limited
proteolysis with chymotrypsin. Other sarcomeric components:
troponin complex, tropomyosin and actin are purified from bovine
hearts (cardiac sarcomere) or chicken pectoral muscle (skeletal
sarcomere).
[0589] Activity of myosins is monitored by measuring the rates of
hydrolysis of ATP. Myosin ATPase is very significantly activated by
actin filaments. ATP turnover is detected in a coupled enzymatic
assay using pyruvate kinase (PK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).
In this assay each ADP produced as a result of ATP hydrolysis is
recycled to ATP by PK with a simultaneous oxidation of NADH
molecule by LDH. NADH oxidation can be conveniently monitored by
decrease in absorbance at 340 nm wavelength.
[0590] Dose responses are measured using a calcium-buffered,
pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase-coupled ATPase assay
containing the following reagents (concentrations expressed are
final assay concentrations): Potassium PIPES (12 mM), MgCl.sub.2 (2
mM), ATP (1 mM), DTT (1 mM), BSA (0.1 mg/ml), NADH (0.5 mM), PEP
(1.5 mM), pyruvate kinase (4 U/ml), lactate dehydrogenase (8 U/ml),
and antifoam (90 ppm). The pH is adjusted to 6.80 at 22.degree. C.
by addition of potassium hydroxide. Calcium levels are controlled
by a buffering system containing 0.6 mM EGTA and varying
concentrations of calcium, to achieve a free calcium concentration
of 1.times.10.sup.-4 M to 1.times.10.sup.-8 M.
[0591] The protein components specific to this assay are bovine
cardiac myosin subfragment-1 (typically 0.5 .mu.M), bovine cardiac
actin (14 .mu.M), bovine cardiac tropomyosin (typically 3 .mu.M),
and bovine cardiac troponin (typically 3-8 .mu.M). The exact
concentrations of tropomyosin and troponin are determined
empirically, by titration to achieve maximal difference in ATPase
activity when measured in the presence of 1 mM EGTA versus that
measured in the presence of 0.2 mM CaCl.sub.2. The exact
concentration of myosin in the assay is also determined
empirically, by titration to achieve a desired rate of ATP
hydrolysis. This varies between protein preparations, due to
variations in the fraction of active molecules in each
preparation.
[0592] Compound dose responses are typically measured at the
calcium concentration corresponding to 50% of maximal ATPase
activity (pCa.sub.50), so a preliminary experiment is performed to
test the response of the ATPase activity to free calcium
concentrations in the range of 1.times.10.sup.-4 M to
1.times.10.sup.-8 M. Subsequently, the assay mixture is adjusted to
the pCa.sub.50 (typically 3.times.10.sup.-7 M). Assays are
performed by first preparing a dilution series of test compound,
each with an assay mixture containing potassium Pipes, MgCl.sub.2,
BSA, DTT, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, myosin
subfragment-1, antifoam, EGTA, CaCl.sub.2, and water. The assay is
started by adding an equal volume of solution containing potassium
Pipes, MgCl.sub.2, BSA, DTT, ATP, NADH, PEP, actin, tropomyosin,
troponin, antifoam, and water. ATP hydrolysis is monitored by
absorbance at 340 nm. The resulting dose response curve is fit by
the 4 parameter equation y=Bottom+((Top-Bottom)/(1+((EC50/X)
Hill))). The AC1.4 is defined as the concentration at which ATPase
activity is 1.4-fold higher than the bottom of the dose curve.
[0593] Ability of a compound to activate cardiac myosin is
evaluated by the effect of the compound on the actin stimulated
ATPase of S1 subfragment. Actin filaments in the assay are
decorated with troponin and tropomyosin and Ca.sup.++ concentration
is adjusted to a value that would result in 50% of maximal
activation. S1 ATPase is measured in the presence of a dilution
series of the compound. Compound concentration required for 40%
activation above the ATPase rate measured in the presence of
control (equivalent volume of DMSO) is reported as AC.sub.40.

In Vivo Fractional Shortening Assay
[0594] 22A. ANIMALS Male Sprague Dawley rats from Charles River
Laboratories (275-350 g) are used for bolus efficacy and infusion
studies. Heart failure animals are described below. They are housed
two per cage and have access to food and water ad libitum. There is
a minimum three-day acclimation period prior to experiments.
[0595] 22B. ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY Animals are anesthetized with
isoflurane and maintained within a surgical plane throughout the
procedure. Core body temperature is maintained at 37.degree. C. by
using a heating pad. Once anesthetized, animals are shaven and hair
remover is applied to remove all traces of fur from the chest area.
The chest area is further prepped with 70% ETOH and ultrasound gel
is applied. Using a GE System Vingmed ultrasound system (General
Electric Medical Systems), a 10 MHz probe is placed on the chest
wall and images are acquired in the short axis view at the level of
the papillary muscles. 2-D M-mode images of the left ventricle are
taken prior to, and after, compound bolus injection or infusion. In
vivo fractional shortening ((end diastolic diameter-end systolic
diameter)/end diastolic diameter.times.100) is determined by
analysis of the M-mode images using the GE EchoPak software
program.
[0596] 22C. BOLUS AND INFUSION EFFICACY For bolus and infusion
protocols, fractional shortening is determined using
echocardiography as described above. For bolus and infusion
protocols, five pre-dose M-Mode images are taken at 30 second
intervals prior to bolus injection or infusion of compounds. After
injection, M-mode images are taken at 1 min and at five minute
intervals thereafter up to 30 min. Bolus injection (0.5-5 mg/kg) or
infusion is via a tail vein catheter. Infusion parameters are
determined from pharmacokinetic profiles of the compounds. For
infusion, animals received a 1 minute loading dose immediately
followed by a 29 minute infusion dose via a tail vein catheter. The
loading dose is calculated by determining the target
concentration.times.the steady state volume of distribution. The
maintenance dose concentration is determined by taking the target
concentration.times.the clearance. Compounds are formulated in 25%
cavitron vehicle for bolus and infusion protocols. Blood samples
are taken to determine the plasma concentration of the
compounds.
Example 23
Hemodynamics in Normal and Heart Failure Animals
[0597] Animals are anesthetized with isoflurane, maintained within
a surgical plane, and then shaven in preparation for
catheterization. An incision is made in the neck region and the
right carotid artery cleared and isolated. A 2 French Millar
Micro-tip Pressure Catheter (Millar Instruments, Houston, Tex.) is
cannulated into the right carotid artery and threaded past the
aorta and into the left ventricle. End diastolic pressure readings,
max+/-dp/dt, systolic pressures and heart rate are determined
continuously while compound or vehicle is infused. Measurements are
recorded and analyzed using a PowerLab and the Chart 4 software
program (ADInstruments, Mountain View, Calif.). Hemodynamics
measurements are performed at a select infusion concentration.
Blood samples are taken to determine the plasma concentration of
the compounds.
Example 24
Left Coronary Artery Occlusion Model of Congestive Heart
Failure
[0598] 24A. ANIMALS Male Sprague-Dawley CD (220-225 g; Charles
River) rats are used in this experiment. Animals are allowed free
access to water and commercial rodent diet under standard
laboratory conditions. Room temperature is maintained at
20-23.degree. C. and room illumination is on a 12/12-hour
light/dark cycle. Animals are acclimatized to the laboratory
environment 5 to 7 days prior to the study. The animals are fasted
overnight prior to surgery.
[0599] 24B. OCCLUSION PROCEDURE Animals are anaesthetized with
ketamine/xylazine (95 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg) and intubated with a
14-16-gauge modified intravenous catheter. Anesthesia level is
checked by toe pinch. Core body temperature is maintained at
37.degree. C. by using a heating blanket. The surgical area is
clipped and scrubbed. The animal is placed in right lateral
recumbency and initially placed on a ventilator with a peak
inspiratory pressure of 10-15 cm H.sub.2O and respiratory rate
60-110 breaths/min. 100% O.sub.2 is delivered to the animals by the
ventilator. The surgical site is scrubbed with surgical scrub and
alcohol. An incision is made over the rib cage at the
4.sup.th-5.sup.th intercostal space. The underlying muscles are
dissected with care to avoid the lateral thoracic vein, to expose
the intercostal muscles. The chest cavity is entered through
4.sup.th-5.sup.th intercostal space, and the incision expanded to
allow visualization of the heart. The pericardium is opened to
expose the heart. A 6-0 silk suture with a taper needle is passed
around the left coronary artery near its origin, which lies in
contact with the left margin of the pulmonary cone, at about 1 mm
from the insertion of the left auricular appendage. The left
coronary artery is occluded by tying the suture around the artery
("LCO"). Sham animals are treated the same, except that the suture
is not tied. The incision is closed in three layers. The rat is
ventilated until able to ventilate on its own. The rats are
extubated and allowed to recover on a heating pad. Animals receive
buprenorphine (0.01-0.05 mg/kg SQ) for post operative analgesia.
Once awake, they are returned to their cage. Animals are monitored
daily for signs of infection or distress. Infected or moribund
animals are euthanized. Animals are weighed once a week.
[0600] 24C. EFFICACY ANALYSIS Approximately eight weeks after
infarction surgery, rats are scanned for signs of myocardial
infarction using echocardiography. Only those animals with
decreased fractional shortening compared to sham rats are utilized
further in efficacy experiments. In all experiments, there are four
groups, sham+vehicle, sham+compound, LCL+vehicle and LCL+compound.
At 10-12 weeks post LCL, rats are infused at a select infusion
concentration. As before, five pre-dose M-Mode images are taken at
30 second intervals prior to infusion of compounds and M-mode
images are taken at 30 second intervals up to 10 minutes and every
minute or at five minute intervals thereafter. Fractional
shortening is determined from the M-mode images. Comparisons
between the pre-dose fractional shortening and compound treatment
are performed by ANOVA and a post-hoc Student-Newman-Keuls. Animals
are allowed to recover and within 7-10 days, animals are again
infused with compounds using the hemodynamic protocol to determine
hemodynamic changes of the compounds in heart failure animals. At
the end to the infusion, rats are killed and the heart weights
determined.
[0601] When tested as described in Examples 18-24, compounds of
Formula I are shown to have the desired activity.
