A2B adenosine receptor antagonists
View Patent ↗Disclosed are novel A 2B adenosine receptor antagonists having the structure of Formula I or Formula II: The compounds are particularly useful for treating asthma, inflammatory gastrointestinal tract disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and diseases related to undesirable angiogenesis.
1. A method of treating a disease state chosen from asthma, diabetic retinopathy, and diarrhea, comprising administering to a mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective dose of a compound of the formula:
wherein:
R 1 and R 2 are independently chosen from hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, or a group -D-E, in which D is a covalent bond or alkylene, and E is optionally substituted alkoxy, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, or optionally substituted alkynyl, with the proviso that when D is a covalent bond E cannot be alkoxy;
R 3 is hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl or optionally substituted cycloalkyl;
X is optionally substituted arylene or heteroarylene;
Y is a covalent bond or alkylene in which one carbon atom can be optionally replaced by —O—, —S—, or —NH—, and is optionally substituted by hydroxy, alkoxy, optionally substituted amino, or —COR, in which R is hydroxy, alkoxy or amino;
with the proviso that when the optional substitution is hydroxy or amino said substitution cannot be present on a carbon atom adjacent to a heteroatom; and
Z is hydrogen, optionally substituted monocyclic aryl or optionally substituted monocyclic heteroaryl;
with the proviso that Z is hydrogen only when Y is a covalent bond and X is optionally substituted 1,4-pyrazolene attached to the purine ring by a carbon atom; and,
with the proviso that when X is optionally substituted arylene, Z is an optionally substituted monocyclic heteroaryl other than optionally substituted imidazole.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease state is asthma.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease state is diabetic retinopathy.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inflammatory disease state is diarrhea.
5. A method of treating a disease state chosen from asthma, diabetic retinopathy, and diarrhea, comprising administering to a mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective dose of the compound 3-ethyl-1-propyl-8-{1-[(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)methyl]pyrazol-4-yl}-1,3,7-trihydropurine-2,6-dione.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the disease state is asthma.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the disease state is diabetic retinopathy.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the disease state is diarrhea.
