Abstract

The present invention relates generally to compounds of formula (I): wherein X is a five or six-membered heteroaromatic ring, containing one to four heteroatoms, selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, provided that at least one heteroatom is nitrogen; and G 1 and G 2 are independently CH or N. The present invention also relates to the preparation of the compounds, pharmaceutical formulations thereof, and their use in medicine as potent or selective A 2B adenosine receptor antagonists and their uses for treating asthma, autoimmune diseases and retinal vascular diseases.

Claims (189)

1. A method of treating asthma, which method comprises administering to a patient in need of treatment thereof an effective amount of a compound of formula (I):

wherein

R 1 and R 2 are independently hydrogen, (C 1 to C 8 )alkyl, (C 2 to C 8 )alkenyl, (C 2 to C 8 )alkynyl, (C 7 to C 14 )aralkyl, (C 8 to C 14 )aralkenyl, or (C 8 to C 14 )aralkynyl;

R 3 is hydrogen, (C 1 to C 4 )alkyl, (C 2 to C 5 )alkenyl, or (C 2 to C 5 )alkynyl;

A is a carbon-carbon bond, alkyl chain of one to four carbons, alkenyl chain of two to four carbons, or alkynyl chain of two to four carbons;

X is an optionally substituted five or six-membered heteroaromatic ring, containing one to four heteroatoms, selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, provided that at least one heteroatom is nitrogen;

M is a (C 1 to C 8 )alkylene, (C 2 to C 8 )alkenylene, or (C 2 to C 8 )alkynylene, wherein at least one of the carbon atoms of the alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene group is present as a carbonyl, and one or more of the remaining carbon atoms of the alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene group may be replaced by —O—, —N(R 7 )—, —S—, —S(O)—, or —S(O) 2 —;

G 1 and G 2 are independently CH or N;

R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are independently hydrogen, (C 1 to C 4 )alkyl, (C 2 to C 5 )alkenyl, (C 2 to C 5 )alkynyl, optionally substituted (C 6 to C 10 )aryl, (C 7 to C 14 )aralkyl, (C 8 to C 14 )aralkenyl, or (C 8 to C 14 )aralkynyl, acyl, optionally substituted alkoxy, aralkoxyalkylthio, amino, substituted amino, disubstituted amino, fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo, nitro, cyano, azido, hydroxy, sulflhydryl, S(O)alkyl, S(O) 2 alkyl, CO 2 H, SO 3 H; or
