Dihydropyridazinone cardiotonics: synthesis and inotropic activity of 5'-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-6-oxo-3-pyridazinyl)spiro[cycloalkane- 1,3'-[3H]indol]-2'(1'H)-ones

In the 1,3-dihydro-5-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-6-oxo-3-pyridazinyl)-2H-indol-2-one series of cardiotonics, we found that a spirocycloalkyl ring may be annealed to the 3-position of the indolone moiety while retaining inotropic activity. An inverse relationship was found between spirocyloalkyl ring size and inotropic potency. ED50 values of the spirocyclopropane 10, spirocyclobutane 12, and spirocyclopentane 13 were 2.7, 35, and 133 micrograms/kg, respectively, following iv administration to pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs. The most potent compound prepared was 11 (5'-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-4-methyl-6-oxo-3-pyridazinyl)spiro[cyclopropane- 1,3'-[3H]indol]-2'(1'H)-one), the 4-methyl analogue of 10. This compound had an iv ED50 of 1.5 microgram/kg. Oral activity was evaluated by administering 50 micrograms/kg of 10 to conscious, chronically instrumented dogs. A 39% increase in LV dP/dt60 was observed, and an inotropic effect was demonstrable in excess of 7 h. Thus, the spirocyclic dihydropyridazinone inotropes are potent, long-acting, orally effective cardiotonics. Compound 11 was a potent inhibitor (IC50 = 13 nM) of cAMP phosphodiesterase derived from canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR-PDE). Importantly, -log IC50 values for inhibition of SR-PDE for this entire series of compounds were highly correlated (r = 0.949, p less than 0.02) with their inotropic -log ED50 values, supporting the hypothesis that inhibition of this enzyme contributes to the mechanism of action of the spirocyclic dihydropyridazinones.     

Molecular structure of the dihydropyridazinone cardiotonic 1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-6-oxo-pyridazinyl)- 2H-indol-2-one, a potent inhibitor of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase

The cardiotonic 1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-6-oxo-3- pyridazinyl)-2H-indol-2-one (1, LY195115) is a potent, competitive inhibitor (Ki = 80 nM) of sarcoplasmic reticulum derived phosphodiesterase (SR-PDE). Moreover, the compound is a potent positive inotrope both in vitro and in vivo. To assist further cardiotonic drug-design studies, we have mapped the three-dimensional structure of 1 using X-ray crystallography. From a global viewpoint, this drug was essentially planar, but two small regions of nonplanarity were apparent. These involved the geminal methyl substituents in the indol-2-one moiety and the C5' methylene unit of the dihydropyridazinone ring. Because of our previous studies involving the bipyridine cardiotonics amrinone and milrinone, the conformational relationship between the plane of the phenyl ring and the horizontal symmetry plane defined by N2', C3', and C4' of 1 was of particular interest. The C6-C5-C3'-C4' dihedral angle was -2.7 degrees, whereas the C6-C5-C3'-N2' dihedral angle was 174.6 degrees. Therefore the two rings maintain a high degree of coplanarity. Compound 4, the congener of 1 possessing a completely unsaturated pyridazinone ring was also studied. In terms of inotropic activity, this compound, devoid of any puckering in the pyridazinone moiety, was equipotent with 1. Methyl substitution at the 4-position of the dihydropyridazinone and pyridazinone rings provided disparate results. Compound 2, the 4-methyl analogue of 1, was 2-fold more potent than 1, and the methyl substituent probably caused only minor perturbations in overall molecular topology. However 5, the 4-methyl analogue of the pyridazinone 4, was 4.4-fold less active than 4, perhaps as a result of methyl-induced molecular nonplanarity.     

Nonsteroidal cardiotonics. 3. New 4,5-dihydro-6-(1H-indol-5-yl)pyridazin-3(2H)-ones and related compounds with positive inotropic activities

A series of substituted indolyldihydropyridazinones and related compounds 1-18 were synthesized and evaluated for positive inotropic activity. In rats, most of these indole derivatives produced a dose-related increase in myocardial contractility with little effect on heart rate and blood pressure. Compound 13, 4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-6-(2-pyridin-4-yl-1H-indol-5-yl)pyrazin-3(2H) -one (BM 50.0430), was further investigated in cats. The increase in contractility in this animal model was not mediated via stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors. After oral administration of 1 mg/kg to conscious dogs, compound 13 and pimobendan were still active after 6.5 h. However, the cardiotonic effect of 13 was at least 2-fold that of pimobendan after this period of time. The structural requirements necessary for optimal cardiotonic activity within this novel class of indole derivatives are a heterocyclic aromatic ring in position 2, a hydrogen or a methyl group in position 3, and a dihydropyridazinone ring system in position 5 of the indole.     

Nonsteroidal cardiotonics. 2. The inotropic activity of linear, tricyclic 5-6-5 fused heterocycles

We previously reported the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of adibendan (1), a potent and long-acting cardiotonic. This paper describes the synthesis of a novel series of linear, tricyclic fused heterocycles of the 5-6-5 type. The compounds were evaluated for positive inotropic activity in anesthetized rats, cats, and dogs. Changes in left ventricular dP/dt were measured as an index of cardiac contractility. The increase in contractility was not mediated via stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors. The data revealed the intrinsic positive inotropic activity of the parent compound of this series, 5,7-dihydro-7,7-dimethylpyrrolo[2,3-f]benzimidazol-6(1H)-one (2). The structural features that impart optimal inotropic activity are presented and compared with those of the 4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone series. The most potent compounds were evaluated orally in conscious dogs with implanted Konigsberg pressure transducers to measure ventricular pressures, and their effect on left ventricular dP/dt was compared with that of 1, pimobendan, and indolidan. After administration of 1 mg/kg, 1, 3, 7, 19, 22, 24, 31, 54, pimobendan, and indolidan were equipotent, but only with 1, 31, pimobendan, and indolidan, durations of action exceeded 6 h.     

(9S)-9-(2-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-6-oxo-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-xanthen-1-one, a selective and orally active neuropeptide Y Y5 receptor antagonist

(9S)-9-(2-Hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-6-oxo-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-xanthen-1-one ((S)-1) was identified as a selective and orally active neuropeptide Y Y5 receptor antagonist. The structure-activity relationship for this structural class was investigated and showed that limited substitution on the phenyl ring was tolerated and that modification of the 4,4-dimethyl group of the cyclohexenone and the 3,3-dimethyl group of the xanthenone parts slightly improved potency. The plasma concentration-time profile after oral administration of (S)-1 in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats showed significant in vivo racemization of (S)-1 and that (S)-1 is cleared much more quickly than (R)-1. The duration of (S)-1 in SD rats after oral administration of (RS)-1 racemate was twice as long as that following oral administration of (S)-1. The C max values of (S)-1 after administration of (S)-1 and (RS)-1 were comparable, and the brain to plasma ratio for (S)-1 was 0.34 in SD rats. In our acute D-Trp (34)NPY-induced food intake model, both (S)-1 and (RS)-1 showed potent and dose-dependent efficacy. Therefore, the use of (RS)-1 is suitable for studies that require sustained plasma exposure of (S)-1.
