Benefits of technology

The present invention provides compounds that can be used to treat or prevent pain, itch, and neurogenic inflammation. These compounds have specific structures and can be made using various methods. The compounds can be used alone or in combination with other compounds to create even more powerful treatments. The technical effect of this invention is the provision of new compounds that can help alleviate pain and inflammation in various ways.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, while the goal of topical or regional anesthesia is to block transmission of signals in nociceptors to prevent pain, administration of local anesthetics also produces unwanted or deleterious effects such as general numbness from block of low threshold pressure and touch receptors, motor deficits and / or paralysis from block of motor axons and other complications from block of autonomic fibers.
This reflex, however, can became aberrant in a number of diseases leading to a non-productive dry cough where hyper- or allo-tussive states exist.
In addition, inappropriate cough reflexes can be manifested acutely and chronically following viral infection.

Synthesis of intermediate methyl 3-(2-bromoacetamido)-4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate

[0195]A stirred suspension of methyl 3-amino-4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate (5 g, 29.20 mmol) in water (50.0 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and 2-bromoacetyl bromide (12 mL, 137.74 mmol) was added drop wise. The resulting mixture was allowed to stir at RT for 16 h as progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC (10% EtOAc in petroleum ether, visualization by UV). The reaction mixture...

n of Nav1.7 Current

[0200]Representative compounds of the invention were synthesized according to the described methods and tested for the ability to inhibit voltage-gated sodium channels.

Cell Culture

[0201]NaV1.7 was expressed upon induction with tetracycline. Cells were cultured in DVEM containing 10% dialyzed Fetal Bovine Serum (VWR, Radnor, Pa.),1% Glutamax (VWR, Radnor, Pa.), 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin (VWR, Radnor, Pa.), 100 mg / L Hygromycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass. and 5 mg / L Blasticidin (Alfa Aesar, Haverhill, Mass.). Cells were grown and maintained at 37° C. in a humidified environment containing 10% CO2 in air. Cells were detached from the culture flask for passage and harvested using 0.05% Trypsin-EDTA (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass.). To induce NaV1.7, cells were induced with tetracycline (0.1-1 μg / mL, IBI Scientific, Peosta, Iowa) the day before recording and plated onto 24-well plates. Cells were washed with DPBS (VWR, Radnor, Pa.), trypsinized ...

Permeability

[0213]The PAMPA assay (pION, Inc., Woburn Mass.) was used to determine the ability of compounds of the invention to cross an artificial lipid membrane by passive diffusion. Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO (10 mM) and diluted 200-fold in buffer (pION Inc., pH 7.4) to provide 50 uM stock solutions. Buffer (150 μL) was added to a UV blank plate and stock solutions (150 μL) were transferred to a UV reference plate. The blank and reference spectrum were read using a spectrophotometer. Stock solutions (200 μL) were added to the donor plate of the PAMPA sandwich plate and an accept plate painted with GIT lipid (pION Inc, 5 μL) was placed on top. Buffer (200 μL) was added to the acceptor plate and the PAMPA sandwich plate was incubated for 4 hours. Aliquots (150 μL) from the acceptor plate were added to a UV plate and read as acceptor spectrum. Aliquots (150 μL) of the donor solutions were added to a UV analysis plate and read as donor spectrum. The permeability coefficien...

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 16 / 815,325 filed on Mar. 11, 2020, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62 / 931,444 filed Nov. 6, 2019. The entire contents of the above applications are incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention features compounds, compositions and methods for the selective inhibition of sensory neurons (nociceptors, cough receptors and pruriceptors) and the treatment of neurogenic inflammation by targeting nociceptors with a small molecule drug, while minimizing effects on non-nociceptive-sensing neurons or other types of cells. According to the method of the invention, small, cationic drug molecules gain access to the intracellular compartment of sensory neurons via entry through large pore receptor / ion channels that are present in pain- cough- and itch-sensing neurons but to a lesser extent or not at all in other types of neurons or in other types...
