Abstract

This invention is directed to benzenesulfonamide compounds, as stereoisomers, enantiomers, tautomers thereof or mixtures thereof; or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or prodrugs thereof, for the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with voltage-gated sodium channels, such as epilepsy.

Claims (57)

1. A method of treating a disease or a condition associated with aberrant Nav1.6 activity in a patient, wherein the disease or condition is epilepsy or epileptic seizure disorder, comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the following formula:

wherein:

R 1 is an optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted pyridyl;

R 2 is an optionally substituted thiazolyl, an optionally substituted thiadiazolyl, an optionally substituted isothiazolyl, or an optionally substituted pyridinyl;

R 3 is —O— or —N(R 13 )—;

R 4 , R 5 , and R 13 are each independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, and haloalkyl;

each R 6 is independently selected from hydrogen, halo, alkyl, and haloalkyl;

R 7 is halo;

each R 8 is independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, and haloalkyl;

m is 1 or 2; and

n is 1 or 2;

as an individual stereoisomer, enantiomer or tautomer thereof or a mixture thereof;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease or condition is epilepsy.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease or condition is epileptic seizure disorder.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disease or condition is SCN8A developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (SCN8A-DEE).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has a SCN8A mutation.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

R 1 is phenyl or pyridyl, each optionally substituted with halo or alkyl;

R 2 is thiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, isothiazolyl, or pyridinyl, each optionally substituted with halo or alkyl;

R 3 is —O— or —N(R 13 )—;

R 4 and R 5 are each hydrogen;

R 13 is hydrogen, alkyl, or haloalkyl;

each R 6 is independently selected from hydrogen, halo, alkyl, and haloalkyl;

R 7 is halo;

R 8 is hydrogen;

m is 1; and

n is 1 or 2;

as an individual stereoisomer, enantiomer or tautomer thereof or a mixture thereof;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is (S)-4-((1-benzylpyrrolidin-3-yl)(methyl)amino)-2-fluoro-5-methyl-N-(thiazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonamide, represented by the formula:

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is (S)-4-((1-benzylpyrrolidin-3-yl)(methyl)amino)-2-fluoro-5-methyl-N-(thiazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonamide, represented by the formula:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is (S)-4-((1-benzylpyrrolidin-3-yl)(methyl)amino)-2,6-difluoro-3-methyl-N-(thiazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonamide, represented by the formula:

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is (S)-4-((1-benzylpyrrolidin-3-yl)(methyl)amino)-2,6-difluoro-3-methyl-N-(thiazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonamide, represented by the formula:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is (S)-2,6-difluoro-3-methyl-4-(methyl(1-((6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl)amino)-N-(thiazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonamide, represented by the formula:

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is (S)-2,6-difluoro-3-methyl-4-(methyl(1-((6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl)amino)-N-(thiazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonamide, represented by the formula:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is (S)-4-((1-benzyl-3-methylpyrrolidin-3-yl)oxy)-2,6-difluoro-3-methyl-N-(thiazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonamide, represented by the formula:

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is (S)-4-((1-benzyl-3-methylpyrrolidin-3-yl)oxy)-2,6-difluoro-3-methyl-N-(thiazol-4-yl)benzenesulfonamide, represented by the formula:
