Abstract

Disclosed are compounds of Formula A: Formula A, or a salt thereof, wherein “Het”, R a , and R b are defined herein, which have properties for blocking Na v 1.7 ion channels found in peripheral and sympathetic neurons. Also described are pharmaceutical formulations comprising the compounds of Formula A or their salts, and methods of treating neuropathic pain disorders using the same.

Claims (88)

1. A compound of the Formula:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:

one of R 1 and R 2 is —H and the other is:

(i) —H;

(ii) —C 1-8 alkyl, wherein the alkyl moiety is optionally substituted with a C 3-6 cycloalkyl moiety;

R a is —H, C 1-6 alkyl, C 1-6 alkoxy, —CN or halogen;

one of R G1 and R G3 is —H and the other is —H or Halogen; and

R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 are independently:

(i) —H;

(ii) halogen;

(iii) linear C 1-8 -alkyl, C 3-8 -branched alkyl, C 3-8 -cycloalkyl, C 2-8 alkenyl, or C 2-6 alkynyl, as these moieties are defined herein, which substituents may optionally be substituted by one or more moieties which are:

(a) halogen;
