Nitrosated And Nitrosylated Cardiovascular Compounds, Compositions And Methods Of Use

Abstract

The invention describes novel nitrosated and / or nitrosylated cardiovascular compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and novel compositions comprising at least one nitrosated and / or nitrosylated cardiovascular compound, and, optionally, at least one nitric oxide donor and / or at least one therapeutic agent. The invention also provides novel compositions and kits comprising at least one cardiovascular compound of the invention, that is optionally nitrosated and / or nitrosylated, and, optionally, at least one nitric oxide donor compound and / or at least one therapeutic agent. The invention also provides methods for (a) treating cardiovascular diseases; (b) treating renovascular diseases; (c) treating diabetes; (d) treating diseases resulting from oxidative stress; (e) treating endothelial dysfunctions; (f) treating diseases caused by endothelial dysfunctions; (g) treating cirrhosis; (h) treating pre-eclampsia; (j) treating osteoporosis; and (k) treating nephropathy. The nitrosated and / or nitrosylated cardiovascular compounds are preferably nitrosated and / or nitrosylated aldosterone antagonists, nitrosated and / or nitrosylated angiotensin II antagonists, nitrosated and / or nitrosylated calcium channel blockers, nitrosated and / or nitrosylated endothelin antagonists, nitrosated and / or nitrosylated hydralazine compounds, nitrosated and / or nitrosylated neutral endopeptidase inhibitors and nitrosated and / or nitrosylated renin inhibitors.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides new cardiovascular compounds that have been modified with nitrogen oxides (NO and / or NO2) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. These compounds have improved properties when compared to their unmodified counterparts. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and a therapeutic agent such as an aldosterone antagonist, an angiotensin II antagonist, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, a β-blocker, a diuretic, an endothelin antagonist, a hydralazine compound, a H2 receptor antagonist, a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory compound, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, a potassium channel blocker, or a combination of two or more thereof. The invention also provides methods for treating cardiovascular diseases, renovascular diseases, diabetes, diseases resulting from oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunctions, and other related diseases.

Problems solved by technology

The compounds administered for the treatment of diuresis, cardiovascular diseases, and diseases resulting from oxidative and / or endothelial dysfunctions often result in toxic, chronic and / or debilitating side effects.
