Benefits of technology

[0054]In another aspect, the invention provides pharmaceutical therapy in combination with one or more other compounds of the invention or one or more other accepted therapies or as any combination thereof to increase the potency of an existing or future drug therapy or to decrease the adverse events associated with the accepted therapy. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition combining compounds of the present invention with established or future therapies for the indications listed in the invention.

Problems solved by technology

Research in this area has identified variants of the alpha subunits that result in major changes in channel function and activities, which can ultimately lead to major pathophysiological conditions.
However, the potency and therapeutic index of these blockers is not optimal and have limited the usefulness of these compounds in a variety of therapeutic areas where a sodium channel blocker would be ideally suited.

preparation 1

Synthesis of 4-bromo-3-(6-hydroxy-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)-1-pentyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one

A. Synthesis of 4-bromo-1-pentyl-1H-indole

[1799]To a mixture of sodium hydride (2.54 g, 66.3 mmol, 60% dispersion in mineral oil) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (50.0 mL) was added 4-bromoindole (10.0 g, 51.0 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 0.5 h followed by the addition of 1-bromopentane (9.25 g, 61.2 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 6 h and quenched with brine solution (20.0 mL). The reaction mixture was diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with ether (3×200 mL). The combined organic layers was washed with brine (100 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to dryness. The residue was subjected to column chromatography eluting with hexane (100%) to give the title compound (13.3 g, 98%) as a yellow oil: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.30-7.27 (m, 2H), 7.14 ...

preparation 2

Synthesis of 1-(2-cyclopropylethyl)-3-(6-hydroxy-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one

A. Synthesis of 1-(2-cyclopropylethyl)-1H-indole-2,3-dione

[1804]To a suspension of sodium hydride (1.61 g, 41.9 mmol, 60% dispersion in mineral oil) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (25.0 mL) was added isatin (6.17 g, 41.9 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 0.5 h followed by the addition of (2-bromoethyl)cyclopropane (Maercker, A., et al, Justus Liebigs Ann. Chem. (1972), 759:132-157) (9.25 g, 61.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 h and quenched with water (50.0 mL). The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers was washed with water (3×50.0 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to dryness to yield the title compound (6.50 g, 90%) as a viscous gum: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.57-7.51 (m, 2H), 7.05 (t, 1H), 6.88 (d, 1H), ...

preparation 3

Synthesis of ethyl [3-(6-hydroxy-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-1-yl]acetate

A. Synthesis of ethyl (2,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-1-yl)acetate

[1808]Following the procedure as described in PREPARATION 2A, and making non-critical variations to replace (2-bromoethyl)cyclopropane with ethyl bromoacetate, the title compound was obtained (79%) as a light yellow powder: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.64-7.54 (m, 2H), 7.16-7.11 (m, 1H), 6.77 (d, 1H), 4.47 (s, 2H), 4.22 (q, 2H), 1.26 (t, 3H); MS (ES+) m / z 256.2 (M+23).

Abstract

This invention is directed to methods of using spiro-oxindole compounds of formula (I): wherein k, j, Q, R1, R2a, R2b, R2c, R2d, R3a, R3b, R3c, and R3d are as defined herein, as a stereoisomer, enantiomer, tautomer thereof or mixtures thereof; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or prodrug thereof, for the treatment and / or prevention of hypercholesterolemia, benign prostatic hyperplasia, pruritis and cancer.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is directed to methods of using spiro-oxindole compounds as therapeutic agents. In particular, this invention is directed to the use of certain spiro-oxindole compounds in treating diseases or conditions such as hypercholesterolemia, benign prostatic hyperplasia, pruritis and cancer.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Voltage-gated sodium channels, transmembrane proteins that initiate action potentials in nerve, muscle and other electrically excitable cells, are a necessary component of normal sensation, emotions, thoughts and movements (Catterall, W. A., Nature (2001), Vol. 409, pp. 988-990). These channels consist of a highly processed alpha subunit that is associated with auxiliary beta subunits. The pore-forming alpha subunit is sufficient for channel function, but the kinetics and voltage dependence of channel gating are in part modified by the beta subunits (Goldin et al., Neuron (2000), Vol. 28, pp. 365-368). Each alpha-subunit c...
