2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine derivatives
View Patent ↗The invention relates to 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine derivatives having the general Formula (I) wherein R 1 represents the group CONR 2 R 3 which is present at one of the positions 5-, 6- or 7- on the 1,2-benzisoxazole ring; R 2 and R 3 are independently H or (C 1-4 )alkyl; and R 4 is cyclopropyl, 2-pyridyl or phenyl, optionally substituted with one or more halogens; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, as well as to the use of these derivatives for the treatment of pain, such as neuropathic pain or inflammatory pain.
1. A 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine compound having the Formula I
wherein
R 1 represents the group CONR 2 R 3 which is present at one of the positions 5-, 6- or 7- on the 1,2-benzisoxazole ring;
R 2 and R 3 are independently H or (C 1-4 )alkyl; and
R 4 is cyclopropyl, 2-pyridyl or phenyl, optionally substituted with one or more halogens;
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
2. The 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is cyclopropyl.
3. The 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is 2-pyridyl.
4. The 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 4 is phenyl, optionally substituted with one or more halogens.
5. The 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 1 represents the group CONR 2 R 3 at the 6-position on the 1,2-benzisoxazole ring.
6. The 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine compound of claim 5 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 2 and R 3 are both methyl or hydrogen.
7. The 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine compound of claim 1 which is selected from:
3-(2-(1-(S)-amino-2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)phenyl)benzo[d]isoxazole-6-carboxamide;
3-(2-((S)-1-amino-2-phenylethyl)phenyl)benzo[d]isoxazole-6-carboxamide;
3-(2-(1-(S)-amino-2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)phenyl)-N,N-dimethylbenzo[d]isoxazole-6-carboxamide;
3-(2-(1-(S)-amino-2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)phenyl)-N,N-dimethylbenzo[d]isoxazole-7-carboxamide;
3-(2-(1-(S)-amino-2-cyclopropylethyl)phenyl)benzo[d]isoxazole-6-carboxamide; and
3-(2-(1-(S)-amino-2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)phenyl)benzo[d]isoxazole-7-carboxamide;
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
8. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in admixture with pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliaries.
9. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine compound of claim 7 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in admixture with pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliaries.
10. A method of treatment of pain which is mediated through modulation of the I h channel, the method comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a 2-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)benzylamine compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the pain is neuropathic pain.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the pain is inflammatory pain.
