Abstract

Claims (37)

1. A method for modulating a voltage gated sodium ion channel current in a subject, wherein the method comprises administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound having Formula (I):

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof,

wherein:

(i) X 1 is N; and

X 2 is CR d ; or

(ii) X 1 is CR d ; and

X 2 is N;

R 1 is CR 2 R 3 R 4 , monocyclic C 3-6 cycloalkyl, or monocyclic 4- to 7-membered heterocyclyl, wherein the C 3-6 cycloalkyl or 4- to 7-membered heterocyclyl is optionally substituted with one or more independently selected R a substituents;

R 2 is C 1-4 haloalkyl or monocyclic C 3-6 cycloalkyl, wherein the C 3-6 cycloalkyl is optionally substituted with one or more independently selected R b substituents;

R 3 is hydrogen, C 1-4 alkyl, or C 1-4 haloalkyl;

R 4 is hydrogen, C 1-4 alkyl, or C 1-4 haloalkyl;

R 5 is halo;

R 6 is C 1-4 haloalkyl or monocyclic C 3-6 cycloalkyl, wherein the C 3-6 cycloalkyl is optionally substituted with one or more independently selected Re substituents;

each R a is independently halo, C 1-4 alkyl, C 1-4 haloalkyl, OC 1-4 alkyl, or OC 1-4 haloalkyl;

each R b is independently halo, C 1-4 alkyl, C 1-4 haloalkyl, OC 1-4 alkyl, or OC 1-4 haloalkyl;

each R c is independently halo, C 1-4 alkyl, C 1-4 haloalkyl, OC 1-4 alkyl, or OC 1-4 haloalkyl;

R d is hydrogen, halo, or C 1-4 alkyl; and

t is 0, 1, or 2;

with the provisos that:

(1) when R 3 and R 4 are each independently hydrogen, then R 6 is not CF 2 Cl, cyclopropyl, fluorocyclopropyl, difluorocyclopropyl, or difluorocyclobutyl;

(2) when R 6 is CHF 2 or CF 3 , then R 1 is not difluorocyclobutyl;

(3) when R 6 is CHF 2 or CF 3 and R 3 and R 4 are each independently hydrogen, then R 2 is not CF 3 ;

(4) when R 6 is CHF 2 or CF 3 , one of R 3 or R 4 is hydrogen, X 1 is N, and X 2 is CH, then R 2 is not CF 3 ; and

(5) when R 6 is CF 3 , one of R 3 or R 4 is hydrogen, X 1 is CH, and X 2 is N, then R 2 is not CF 3 .

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has a condition selected from the group consisting of autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy, a benign familial neonatal-infantile seizure, cryptogenic pediatric partial epilepsy with an SCN3A mutation, focal epilepsy with an SCN3A mutation, generalized epilepsy with a febrile seizure, an infantile spasm, intractable childhood epilepsy with a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, a malignant migrating partial seizure of infancy, Dravet syndrome, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), epileptic encephalopathy with an SCN1A mutation, epileptic encephalopathy with an SCN2A mutation, epileptic encephalopathy with an SCN8A mutation, early infantile epileptic encephalopathy, KCNQ2 epileptic encephalopathy, KCNT1 epileptic encephalopathy, and Rasmussen's encephalitis.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the Dravet syndrome is Dravet syndrome with an SCN1A mutation.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has a condition selected from the group consisting of epilepsy, an epilepsy syndrome, epileptic encephalopathy, pain, and Rasmussen's encephalitis.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the subject has pain.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the pain is selected from the group consisting of cerebellar ataxia, a cluster headache, a migraine, neuropathic pain, and trigeminal neuralgia.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the pain is a migraine.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the migraine is a hemiplegic migraine.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the hemiplegic migraine is a familial hemiplegic migraine.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the familial hemiplegic migraine is familial hemiplegic migraine type 3.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
