  • the lipophilic vanilloid, capsaicin activates primary sensory fibers via a specific cell surface capsaicin receptor, cloned as TRPVl.
  • the intradermal administration of capsaicin is characterized by an initial burning or hot sensation followed by a prolonged period of analgesia.
  • the analgesic component of TRPVl receptor activation is thought to be mediated by a capsaicin-induced desensitization of the primary sensory afferent terminal.
  • capsaicin analogs as analgesic agents.
  • capsazepine a capsaicin receptor antagonist can reduce inflammation-induced hyperalgesia in animal models. TRPVl receptors are also localized on sensory afferents which innervate the bladder. Capsaicin or resiniferatoxin has been shown to ameliorate incontinence symptoms upon injection into the bladder.
  • the TRPVl receptor has been called a "polymodal detector" of noxious stimuli since it can be activated in several ways.
  • the receptor channel is activated by capsaicin and other vanilloids and thus is classified as a ligand-gated ion channel.
  • TRPVl receptor activation by capsaicin can be blocked by the competitive TRPVl receptor antagonist, capsazepine.
  • the channel can also be activated by protons. Under mildly acidic conditions (pH 6-7), the affinity of capsaicin for the receptor is increased, whereas at pH ⁇ 6, direct activation of the channel occurs.
  • membrane temperature reaches 43.degree. C, the channel is opened. Thus heat can directly gate the channel in the absence of ligand.
  • the capsaicin analog, capsazepine which is a competitive antagonist of capsaicin, blocks activation of the channel in response to capsaicin, acid, or heat.
  • the channel is a nonspecific cation conductor. Both extracellular sodium and calcium enter through the channel pore, resulting in cell membrane depolarization. This depolarization increases neuronal excitability, leading to action potential firing and transmission of a noxious nerve impulse to the spinal cord. In addition, depolarization of the peripheral terminal can lead to release of inflammatory peptides such as, but not limited to, substance P and

Description

CERTAIN CHEMICAL ENTITIES, COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS FOR
MODULATING TRPVl
[001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application number
60/749,019, filed December 8, 2005, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application number
60/834,695, filed July 31, 2006, each of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
[002] Provided are certain chemical entities which are useful for treating disorders modulated by TRPVl activity, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such chemical entities, and methods for treating pain, bladder overactivity, and urinary incontinence.
[003] Nociceptors are primary sensory afferent (C and A.delta. fibers) neurons that are activated by a wide variety of noxious stimuli including chemical, mechanical, thermal, and proton (pH<6) modalities. The lipophilic vanilloid, capsaicin, activates primary sensory fibers via a specific cell surface capsaicin receptor, cloned as TRPVl. The intradermal administration of capsaicin is characterized by an initial burning or hot sensation followed by a prolonged period of analgesia. The analgesic component of TRPVl receptor activation is thought to be mediated by a capsaicin-induced desensitization of the primary sensory afferent terminal. Thus, the long lasting anti-nociceptive effects of capsaicin has prompted the clinical use of capsaicin analogs as analgesic agents. Further, capsazepine, a capsaicin receptor antagonist can reduce inflammation-induced hyperalgesia in animal models. TRPVl receptors are also localized on sensory afferents which innervate the bladder. Capsaicin or resiniferatoxin has been shown to ameliorate incontinence symptoms upon injection into the bladder.
[004] The TRPVl receptor has been called a "polymodal detector" of noxious stimuli since it can be activated in several ways. The receptor channel is activated by capsaicin and other vanilloids and thus is classified as a ligand-gated ion channel. TRPVl receptor activation by capsaicin can be blocked by the competitive TRPVl receptor antagonist, capsazepine. The channel can also be activated by protons. Under mildly acidic conditions (pH 6-7), the affinity of capsaicin for the receptor is increased, whereas at pH<6, direct activation of the channel occurs. In addition, when membrane temperature reaches 43.degree. C, the channel is opened. Thus heat can directly gate the channel in the absence of ligand. The capsaicin analog, capsazepine, which is a competitive antagonist of capsaicin, blocks activation of the channel in response to capsaicin, acid, or heat.
[005] The channel is a nonspecific cation conductor. Both extracellular sodium and calcium enter through the channel pore, resulting in cell membrane depolarization. This depolarization increases neuronal excitability, leading to action potential firing and transmission of a noxious nerve impulse to the spinal cord. In addition, depolarization of the peripheral terminal can lead to release of inflammatory peptides such as, but not limited to, substance P and
CGRP, leading to enhanced peripheral sensitization of tissue.
[006] TRPVl thus represents a pharmacological target of interest for the treatment of human disease. The identification and development of compounds that modulate the functioning of TRPVl is therefore of considerable interest.
[007] Provided is at least one chemical entity chosen from compounds of Formula I:

[012] As used in the present specification, the following words and phrases are generally intended to have the meanings as set forth below, except to the extent that the context in which they are used indicates otherwise.
[013] As used herein, when any variable occurs more than one time in a chemical formula, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. In accordance with the usual meaning of "a" and "the" in patents, reference, for example, to "a" compound or "the" compound is inclusive of one or more compounds.
[014] A dash ("-") that is not between two letters or symbols is used to indicate a point of attachment for a substituent. For example, -CONH2 is attached through the carbon atom.
[015] The terms "TRPVl", "VRl" and "capsaicin receptor" are used interchangeably herein to refer to the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid type 1 receptor. Unless otherwise specified, these terms encompass both rat and human TRPVl receptors (e.g., GenBank
Accession. Numbers AF327067, AJ277028 and NM.sub.~018727).
[016] A "TRPVl modulator," also referred to herein as a "modulator," is a compound that modulates TRPVl activation and/or TRPVl -mediated signal transduction. A TRPVl modulator may be a TRPVl agonist, antagonist, inverse agonist or a positive or negative allosteric modulator.
[017] A modulator is considered an "antagonist" if it detectably inhibits vanilloid ligand binding to TRPVl and/or TRPVl -mediated signal transduction; in general, such an antagonist inhibits TRPVl activation with a IC5O value of less than 100 micromolar within the assay provided in Example 3. TRPVl antagonists include neutral antagonists, inverse agonists and negative allosteric modulators. In certain embodiments, capsaicin receptor antagonists provided herein are not vanilloids.
[018] An "inverse agonist" of TRPVl is a compound that reduces the activity of TRPVl below its basal activity level in the absence of added vanilloid ligand. Inverse agonists of TRPVl may also inhibit the activity of vanilloid ligand at TRPVl, and/or may also inhibit binding of vanilloid ligand to TRPVl . The ability of a compound to inhibit the binding of vanilloid ligand to TRPVl may be measured by a binding assay. The basal activity of TRPVl, as well as the reduction in TRPVl activity due to the presence of TRPVl antagonist, may be determined from a calcium mobilization assay.
[019] A "neutral antagonist" of TRPVl is a compound that inhibits the activity of vanilloid ligand at TRPVl, but does not significantly change the basal activity of the receptor (i.e., within a calcium mobilization assay performed in the absence of vanilloid ligand, TRPVl activity is reduced by no more than 10%, in some embodiments, by no more than 5%, for example, by no more than 2%; and in some embodiments, there is no detectable reduction in activity). Neutral antagonists of TRPVl may inhibit the binding of vanilloid ligand to TRPVl.
[020] As used herein a "capsaicin receptor agonist" or "TRPVl agonist" or a "TRPVl positive allosteric modulator" is a compound that elevates the activity of the receptor above the basal activity level of the receptor (i.e., enhances TRPVl activation and/or TRPVl -mediated signal transduction). In general, such an agonist has an ECs0 value of less than 100 micromolar within the assay provided in Example 3. In certain embodiments, capsaicin receptor agonists provided herein are not vanilloids.
[021] A "vanilloid" is capsaicin or any capsaicin analogue that comprises a phenyl ring with two oxygen atoms bound to adjacent ring carbon atoms (one of which carbon atom is located para to the point of attachment of a third moiety that is bound to the phenyl ring). A vanilloid is a "vanilloid ligand" if it binds to TRPVl . Vanilloid ligand agonists include capsaicin, olvanil, N-arachidonoyl-dopamine and resiniferatoxin (RTX). Vanilloid ligand antagonists include capsazepine and iodo-resiniferatoxin.
[022] A "capsaicin receptor modulatory amount" is an amount that, upon administration to a patient, achieves a concentration of TRPVl modulator at a capsaicin receptor within the patient that is sufficient to alter the binding of vanilloid ligand to TRPVl in vitro and/or TRPVl- mediated signal transduction. The capsaicin receptor may be present, or example, in a body fluid such as blood, plasma, serum, CSF, synovial fluid, lymph, cellular interstitial fluid, tears or urine.
[023] By "optional" or "optionally" is meant that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, "optionally substituted alkyl" encompasses both "alkyl" and "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 that are sterically impractical, synthetically non- feasible and/or inherently unstable.
[024] "Alkyl" encompasses straight chain and branched chain having the indicated number of carbon atoms, usually from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, for example 1 to 8 carbon atoms, such as 1 to 6 carbon atoms. For example C1-C6 alkyl encompasses both straight and branched chain alkyl of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, 2-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, 2-hexyl, 3- hexyl, 3-methylpentyl, and the like. Alkylene is another subset of alkyl, referring to the same residues as alkyl, but having two points of attachment. Alkylene groups will usually have from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, for example 2 to 8 carbon atoms, such as from 2 to 6 carbon atoms. For example, C0 alkylene indicates a covalent bond and C1 alkylene is a methylene group. When an alkyl residue having a specific number of carbons is named, all geometric combinations 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.
"Lower alkyl" refers to alkyl groups having one to four carbons. [025] "Alkenyl" refers to an unsaturated branched or straight-chain alkyl group having at least one carbon-carbon double bond derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent alkene.

[026] "Alkynyl" refers to an unsaturated branched or straight-chain alkyl group having at least one carbon-carbon triple bond derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent alkyne. Typical alkynyl groups include, but are not limited to, ethynyl; propynyls such as prop-1-yn-l-yl, prop-2-yn-l-yl; butynyls such as but-1-yn-l-yl, but-l-yn-3-yl, but-3-yn-l-yl; and the like. In certain embodiments, an alkynyl group has from 2 to 20 carbon atoms and in other embodiments, from 3 to 6 carbon atoms.
[027] "Cycloalkyl" indicates a non-aromatic carbocyclic ring, usually having from 3 to

[029] "Mono- and di-alkylcarboxamide" encompasses a group of the formula -
(C=O)NRaRb where Ra and Rb are independently chosen from hydrogen and alkyl groups of the indicated number of carbon atoms, provided that R3 and Rb are not both hydrogen. [030] "Acyl" refers to the groups (alkyl)-C(O)-; (cycloalkyl)-C(O)-; (aryl)-C(O)-;
(heteroaryl)-C(O)-; and (heterocycloalkyl)-C(O)-, wherein the group is attached to the parent structure through the carbonyl functionality and wherein alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and heterocycloalkyl are as described herein. Acyl groups have the indicated number of carbon atoms, with the carbon of the keto group being included in the numbered carbon atoms.

[031] By "alkoxycarbonyl" is meant a group of the formula (alkoxy)(C=O)- attached through the carbonyl carbon wherein the alkoxy group has the indicated number of carbon atoms. Thus a C1-C6 alkoxycarbonyl group is an alkoxy group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms attached through its oxygen to a carbonyl linker.
[032] By "amino" is meant the group -NH2.
[033] "Mono- and di-(alkyl)amino" encompasses secondary and tertiary alkyl amino groups, wherein the alkyl groups are as defined above and have the indicated number of carbon atoms. The point of attachment of the alkylamino group is on the nitrogen. Examples of mono- and di-alkylamino groups include ethylamino, dimethylamino, and methyl-propyl-amino.

6-membered carbocyclic aromatic rings, for example, benzene;
bicyclic ring systems wherein at least one ring is carbocyclic and aromatic, for example, naphthalene, indane, and tetralin; and
tricyclic ring systems wherein at least one ring is carbocyclic and aromatic, for example, fluorene.
For example, aryl includes 6-membered carbocyclic aromatic rings fused to a 5- to 7-membered heterocycloalkyl ring containing 1 or more heteroatoms chosen from N, O, and S. For such fused, bicyclic ring systems wherein only one of the rings is a carbocyclic aromatic ring, the point of attachment may be at the carbocyclic aromatic ring or the heterocycloalkyl ring. Bivalent radicals formed from substituted benzene derivatives and having the free valences at ring atoms are named as substituted phenylene radicals. Bivalent radicals derived from univalent polycyclic hydrocarbon radicals whose names end in "-yl" by removal of one hydrogen atom from the carbon atom with the free valence are named by adding "-idene" to the name of the corresponding univalent radical, e.g., a naphthyl group with two points of attachment is termed naphthylidene. Aryl, however, does not encompass or overlap in any way with heteroaryl, separately defined below. Hence, if one or more carbocyclic aromatic rings is fused with a heterocycloalkyl aromatic ring, the resulting ring system is heteroaryl, not aryl, as defined herein.

For example, heteroaryl includes a 5- to 7-membered heterocycloalkyl, aromatic ring fused to a 5- to 7-membered cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl ring. For such fused, bicyclic heteroaryl ring systems wherein only one of the rings contains one or more heteroatoms, the point of attachment may be at either ring. When the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group exceeds 1, those heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another. In certain embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group is not more than 2. hi certain embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the aromatic heterocycle is not more than 1. Examples of heteroaryl groups include, but are not limited to, (as numbered from the linkage position assigned priority 1), 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2,3-pyrazinyl, 3,4-pyrazinyl, 2,4-pyrimidinyl, 3,5- pyrimidinyl, 2,3-pyrazolinyl, 2,4-imidazolinyl, isoxazolinyl, oxazolinyl, thiazolinyl, thiadiazolinyl, tetrazolyl, thienyl, benzothiophenyl, furanyl, benzofuranyl, benzoimidazolinyl, indolinyl, pyridazinyl, triazolyl, quinolinyl, pyrazolyl, and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinolinyl. Bivalent radicals derived from univalent heteroaryl radicals whose names end in "-yl" by removal of one hydrogen atom from the atom with the free valence are named by adding "- idene" to the name of the corresponding univalent radical, e.g., a pyridyl group with two points of attachment is a pyridylidene. Heteroaryl does not encompass or overlap with aryl, cycloalkyl, or heterocycloalkyl, as defined herein
[042] Substituted heteroaryl also includes ring systems substituted with one or more oxide (-O") substituents, such as pyridinyl N-oxides.
[043] By "heterocycloalkyl" is meant a single, non-aromatic ring, usually with 3 to 7 ring atoms, containing at least 2 carbon atoms in addition to 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen, as well as combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing heteroatoms. The ring may be saturated or have one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. Suitable heterocycloalkyl groups include, for example (as numbered from the linkage position assigned priority 1), 2-pyrrolidinyl, 2,4-imidazolidinyl, 2,3-pyrazolidinyl, 2-piperidyl, 3- piperidyl, 4-piperidyl, and 2,5-piperizinyl. Morpholinyl groups are also contemplated, including 2-morpholinyl and 3-morpholinyl (numbered wherein the oxygen is assigned priority 1).
Substituted heterocycloalkyl also includes ring systems substituted with one or more oxo (=0) or oxide (-O") substituents, such as piperidinyl N-oxide, morpholinyl-N-oxide, 1-oxo-l- thiomorpholinyl and 1,1-dioxo-l-thiomorpholinyl.
[044] "Heterocycloalkyl" also includes bicyclic ring systems wherein one non-aromatic ring, usually with 3 to 7 ring atoms, contains at least 2 carbon atoms in addition to 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen, as well as combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing heteroatoms; and the other ring, usually with 3 to 7 ring atoms, optionally contains 1-3 heteratoms independently selected from oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen and is not aromatic.
[045] As used herein, "modulation" refers to a change in activity as a direct or indirect response to the presence of compounds of Formula I, relative to the activity of in the absence of the compound. The change may be an increase in activity or a decrease in activity, and may be due to the direct interaction of the compound with the receptor, or due to the interaction of the compound with one or more other factors that in turn affect receptor activity. For example, the presence of the compound may, for example, increase or decrease receptor activity by directly binding to the receptor, by causing (directly or indirectly) another factor to increase or decrease the receptor activity, or by (directly or indirectly) increasing or decreasing the amount of receptor present in the cell or organism.
[046] The term "sulfanyl" includes the groups: -S-(optionally substituted (C1-C6)alkyl),
-S-(optionally substituted aryl), -S-(optionally substituted heteroaryl), and -S-(optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl). Hence, sulfanyl includes the group C1-C6 alkylsulfanyl.

-S(O2)-optionally substituted aryloxy), -S(O2)-optionally substituted heteroaryloxy),
-S(02)-(optionally substituted heterocyclyloxy); and -S(O2)-(optionally substituted amino).
[049] The term "substituted", as used herein, means that any one or more hydrogens on the designated atom or group is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valence is not exceeded. When a substiruent is oxo (i.e., =O) then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds or useful synthetic
intermediates. A stable compound or stable structure is meant to imply a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation from a reaction mixture, and subsequent formulation as an agent having at least practical utility. Unless otherwise specified, substituents are named into the core structure. For example, it is to be understood that when (cycloalkyl)alkyl is listed as a possible substiruent, the point of attachment of this substiruent to the core structure is in the alkyl portion.
[050] The terms "substituted" alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl, and heteroaryl, unless otherwise expressly defined, refer respectively to alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl, and heteroaryl wherein one or more (such as up to 5, for example, up to 3) hydrogen atoms are replaced by a substituent independently chosen from:

Thus, for example, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, and syrups containing, for example, from 1% to 90% by weight of at least one chemical entities of the present disclosure using, for example, soft and hard gelatin capsules.
[0122] In preparing a composition, it can be necessary to mill the active compound to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with other ingredients. If the active compound is insoluble, the active component ordinarily can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is water soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide a uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. 40 mesh.
[0123] Examples of suitable excipients include, but are not limited to, lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, modified
cyclodextrins, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. Some compositions can additionally include, lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil, wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy- benzoates, sweetening agents, and flavoring agents. Compositions of the present disclosure can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the subject by employing procedures known in the art.
[0124] Some compositions of the present disclosure can be formulated in unit dosage form, each dosage containing, for example, 0.1 mg to 2 g of the active ingredient. As used herein, "unit dosage forms" refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient, diluent, carrier and/or adjuvant, hi certain embodiments, compositions of the present disclosure can be formulated in multiple dosage forms. The amount of the chemical entities of the present disclosure that can be combined with other materials and therapeutic agents to produce compositions of the present disclosure in a single dosage form will vary depending upon the subject and the particular mode of administration.
[0125] In the treatment of disease, chemical entities of the present disclosure can be administered in a therapeutically effective amount. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound administered will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual subject, the severity of the subject's symptoms, and the like.
[0126] For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient can be mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present present disclosure. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. The solid preformulation can then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, 0.1 mg to 2 g of the therapeutically effective compound of the present present disclosure.
[0127] The tablets or pills comprising certain compositions of the present disclosure can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer that serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials include a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
[0128] The liquid forms in which the compositions of the present disclosure may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
