Use of 2-alkoxyphenol-substituted imidazotriazinones
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to the use of known 2-phenyl-substituted imidazotriazinones having short, unbranched alkyl radicals in the 9-position and cGMP PDE-inhibitory properties for the production of medicaments for the treatment of cardiac insufficiency, psoriasis, female infertility, cancer, diabetes, ophthalmic disorders such as glaucoma, disorders of gastric motility, cystic fibrosis, premature labour, pulmonary hypertension, bladder disorders, prostate hyperplasia, nitrate-induced tolerance, pre-eclampsia, alopecia, Parkinson's disease, pain, tinnitus or the renal syndrome.
1. A method for the treatment of, psoriasis, female infertility, diabetes, ophthalmic disorders, glaucoma, disorders of gastric motility, cystic fibrosis, premature labour, pulmonary hypertension, nitrate-induced tolerance, pre-eclampsia, alopecia, Parkinson's disease, pain, tinnitus or the renal syndrome comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of one or more 2-phenyl-substituted imidazotriazinones of the general formula (I)
in which
R 1 represents methyl or ethyl,
R 2 represents ethyl or propyl,
R 3 and R 4 are identical or different and represent a straight-chain or branched alkyl chain having up to 5 carbon atoms, which is optionally up to disubstituted identically or differently by hydroxyl or methoxy,
or
R 3 and R 4 together with the nitrogen atom form a piperidinyl ring, morpholinyl ring, thio-morpholinyl ring or a radical of the formula
in which
R 5 denotes hydrogen, formyl, acyl or alkoxycarbonyl in each case having up to 3 carbon atoms,
or denotes straight-chain or branched alkyl having up to 3 carbon atoms, which is optionally mono- to disubstituted, identically or differently, by hydroxyl, carboxyl, straight-chain or branched alkoxy or alkoxycarbonyl in each case having up to 3 carbon atoms or by groups of the formula —(D) a- NR 6 R 7 or —P(O)(OR 8 )(OR 9 ),
in which
a denotes a number 0 or 1,
D denotes a group of the formula —CO,
R 6 and R 7 are identical or different and denote hydrogen or methyl,
R 8 and R 9 are identical or different and denote hydrogen, methyl or ethyl,
or
R 5 denotes cyclopentyl,
and the heterocycles mentioned under R 3 and R 4 , formed together with the nitrogen atom, are optionally mono- to disubstituted, identically or differently, optionally also geminally, by hydroxyl, formyl, carboxyl, acyl or alkoxycarbonyl in each case having up to 3 carbon atoms or groups of the formula —P(O)(OR 10 )(OR 11 ) or —(CO) b NR 12 R 13 ,
in which
R 10 and R 11 are identical or different and denote hydrogen, methyl or ethyl,
b denotes a number 0 or 1,
and
R 12 and R 13 are identical or different and denote hydrogen or methyl
and/or the heterocycles mentioned under R 3 and R 4 , formed together with the nitrogen atom, are optionally substituted by straight-chain or branched alkyl having up to 3 carbon atoms, which is optionally mono- to disubstituted, identically or differently, by hydroxyl, carboxyl or by a radical of the formula P(O)OR 14 OR 15 ,
in which
R 14 and R 15 are identical or different and denote hydrogen, methyl or ethyl,
and/or the heterocycles mentioned under R 3 and R 4 , formed together with the nitrogen atom, are optionally substituted by piperidinyl or pyrrolidinyl linked via N,
and
R 16 represents ethoxy or propoxy,
and their salts, hydrates and/or solvates.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compounds are of the general formula (Ia),
where R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 and R 16 have the meaning indicated in claim 1 ,
and their salts, hydrates and/or solvates.
3. The method according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the 2-phenyl-substituted imidazotriazinones have the following structures:
