Abstract

The present invention relates to compounds that modulate nicotinic receptors as non-competitive antagonists, methods for their synthesis, methods for use, and their pharmaceutical compositions.

Claims (20)

1. A compound of Formula I:

wherein

each of R 1 and R 2 individually is H, C 1-6 alkyl, or aryl-substituted C 1-6 alkyl, or R 1 and R 2 combine with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached to form a 3- to 8-membered ring, which ring may be optionally substituted with C 1-6 alkyl, aryl, C 1-6 alkoxy, or aryloxy substituents;

R 3 is H, C 1-6 alkyl, or C 1-6 alkoxy-substituted C 1-6 alkyl;

each of R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , and R 7 individually is H, C 1-6 alkyl, or C 1-6 alkoxy;

L 1 is a linker species selected from the group consisting of CR 8 R 9 , CR 8 R 9 CR 10 R 11 , and O;

L 2 is a linker species selected from the group consisting of CH 2 , CH 2 CH 2 , CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 , and CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 ;

each of R 8 , R 9 , R 10 , and R 11 individually is hydrogen or C 1-6 alkyl; and

the dashed line indicates an optional double bond;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is H and R 2 is C 1-6 alkyl.

3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is C 1-6 alkyl.

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein each of R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , and R 7 is H.

5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein L 1 is CR 8 R 9 , and each of R 8 and R 9 is hydrogen.

6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein L 2 is CH 2 CH 2 .

7. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the dashed line is a single bond.

8. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound as claimed in claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

9. A compound

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

10. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound as claimed in claim 9 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
