Abstract

Provided are compounds of Formula I; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof: The compounds of Formula I described herein relate to and/or have application(s) in (among others) the fields of drug discovery, pharmacotherapy, physiology, organic chemistry and polymer chemistry.

Claims (41)

1. A compound according to Formula I:

wherein:

R 1 is an optionally substituted phenyl;

R 2 is hydrogen;

R 3 is selected from hydrogen and an optionally substituted alkyl;

R 4 is an optionally substituted phenyl;

R 5 and R 6 taken together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a pyrrolidinyl or azetidinyl ring substituted with —X-POLY;

X is an optional linker selected from a covalent bond; —C(O)NH—; —C(O)NHCH 2 —; —C(O)NHCH 2 CH 2 —; —OC(O)NH—; —C(O)NH—; —O—; —NHC(O)—; —NHC(O)CH 2 —; —NHC(O)CH 2 (O)—; —NHC(O)CH 2 CH 2 —; or —NHS(O) 2 —; and

POLY is a poly(alkylene oxide) oligomer comprising 2 to 10 alkylene oxide monomers;

or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is substituted with 1 to 3 halogens.

3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is hydrogen.

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is methyl.

5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the poly(alkylene oxide) oligomer is a poly(ethylene oxide) oligomer.

6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein POLY is end-capped with a hydroxyl group, a lower alkoxy group, or a trifluoromethoxy group.

7. The compound of claim 1 , having a structure selected from:

wherein X is selected from —O—, —OC(O)NH—, and a covalent bond;

POLY is ˜(CH 2 CH 2 O) n —Y,

n is an integer from 2 to 10, and

Y is selected from hydrogen, methyl, or trifluoromethoxy

or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof.

8. The compound of claim 1 , having the structure:

wherein X is selected from —O—, —OC(O)NH—, and a covalent bond;

POLY is —(CH 2 CH 2 O) n —Y,

n is an integer from 2 to 10, and

Y is selected from hydrogen, methyl, or trifluoromethoxy

or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof.

9. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of claim 1 and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

10. A composition of matter comprising the compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound is present in a dosage form.

11. A method of treating pain or inflammation comprising administering the compound of claim 1 to a patient in need thereof.

12. A compound having the structure:

wherein R 10 is selected from the group consisting of ˜H, ˜OCH 2 CH 2 OH, ˜OCH 2 CH 2 OCH 3 , ˜NHCH 2 CH 2 OH, and ˜NHCH 2 CH 2 OCH 3 ,

X is an optional linker selected from a covalent bond; —C(O)NH—; —C(O)NHCH 2 —;

—C(O)NHCH 2 CH 2 —; —OC(O)NH—; —C(O)NH—; —O—; —NHC(O)—; and —NHC(O)CH 2 —;

POLY is a poly(alkylene oxide) oligomer comprising 2 to 10 alkylene oxide monomers, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof.

13. The compound of claim 12 , wherein X-POLY is ˜O—(CH 2 CH 2 O) n —Y, wherein n is 2 to 30, and Y is selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl and trifluoromethoxy.

14. A compound having the following structure:

wherein:

n is an integer of from 1 to 30;

R 10 is selected from the group consisting of ˜H, ˜OCH 2 CH 2 OH, ˜OCH 2 CH 2 OCH 3 , ˜NHCH 2 CH 2 OH, and ˜NHCH 2 CH 2 OCH 3 ;

R 11 is selected from the group consisting of ˜H, ˜CH 3 , and ˜CF 3 , and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof.
