Abstract

The present invention provides compounds of Formula (I) and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are inhibitors of the ROMK (Kir1.1) channel. The compounds may be used as diuretic and/or natriuretic agents and for the therapy and prophylaxis of medical conditions including cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, heart failure and chronic kidney disease and conditions associated with excessive salt and water retention.

Claims (90)

1. A compound having structural Formula I:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein:

Z is

X is C(R 4 );

R 3b is —H or —C 1-3 alkyl, or R 3b is absent when the dashed bond is a double bond;

or R 3a and R 3b are joined together with the carbon to which they are both attached to form cyclopropyl or cyclobutyl;

R 4 is —H, halo, —CN, —C 3-6 cycloalkyl, —C(O)OC 1-4 alkyl, —OC 1-4 alkyl, or —C 1-4 alkyl optionally substituted with OH or 1-3 of —F;
