[0027] The compounds of formula I may form salts with alkali metals such as sodium, potassium and lithium, with alkaline earth metals such as calcium and magnesium, with organic bases such as dicyclohexylamine, tributylamine, pyridine and amino acids such as arginine, lysine and the like. Such salts may be obtained, for example, by exchanging the carboxylic acid protons, if they contain a carboxylic acid, in compound I with the desired ion in a medium in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by evaporation. Other salts can be formed as known to those having ordinary skill in the art.
[0028] The compounds of formula I may form salts with a variety of organic and inorganic acids. Such salts include those formed with hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, methanesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, maleic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid and various others (e.g., nitrates, phosphates, borates, tartrates, citrates, succinates, benzoates, ascorbates, salicylates and the like). Such salts may be formed by reacting compound I in an equivalent amount of the acid in a medium in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by evaporation.
[0029] In addition, zwitterions (“inner salts”) may be formed.
[0030] A compound of the formula I may also have prodrug forms. Any compound that will be converted in vivo to provide the bioactive agent (i.e., the compound of formula 1) is a prodrug within the scope and spirit of the invention.
[0031] Various forms of prodrugs are well known in the art. For examples of such prodrug derivatives, see:

[0038] It should further be understood that solvates (e.g., hydrates) of the compounds of formula I are also within the scope of the present invention. Methods of salvation are generally known in the art.
[0039] All stereoisomers of the compounds of the instant invention are contemplated, either in admixture or in pure or substantially pure form. The compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers at any of the carbon atoms including any one of the R substituents. Consequently, compounds of formula I can exist in diastereomeric forms or in mixtures thereof. The below described processes can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional methods for example, chromatographyc or fractional crystallization.
[0040] Use and Utility
[0041] The compounds of formula I are useful in the treatment of arrhythmia. More specifically, the compounds of the present invention have the pharmacological properties required for the antiarrhythmic agents of Class III.
[0042] Class III agents increase myocardial refractoriness via a prolongation of cardiac action potential duration. Theoretically, prolongation of the cardiac action potential can be achieved by enhancing inward currents (i.e. Na + or Ca 2+ currents; hereinafter I Na and I Ca respectively) or by reducing outward repolarizing potassium (K + ) currents. The delayed rectifier (I K )K + current is the main outward current involved in the overall repolarization process during the action potential plateau, whereas the transient outward (I to ) and inward rectifier (I K1 )K + current are responsible for the rapid initial and terminal phases of repolarization, respectively. Cellular electrophysiologic studies have demonstrated that I K consists of two pharmacologically and kinetically distinct K + current subtypes, I Kr (rapidly activating and deactivating) and I KS (slowly activating and deactivating).
[0043] Most Class III agents that are known to be in development predominantly block I Kr . These agents have a potential liability in that they have an enhanced risk of proarrhythmia at slow heart rates. The compounds of the present invention prolong the mycocardial action potential in vitro without a significant depression of the Vmax and with the prolongation of Qtc-interval in anesthetized dogs. In addition the compounds of the present invention selectively block I Ks . The preferred compounds of the present invention are those which have selectivity of I Ks :I Kr greater than or equal to 5.
[0044] The compounds of the present invention are effective in treating and preventing all types of arrhythmias including ventricular and atrial (supraventricular) arrhythmias. The compounds of the present invention are especially useful to control reentrant arrhythmias and prevent sudden death due to the ventricular fibrillation.
[0045] In the novel method of this invention of treating arrhythmia, a novel compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered in an amount ranging from about 0.0001 to about 20 mg per kg of body weight per day, preferably from about 0.001 to about 10 mg per kg of body weight per day in a single dose or in 2 to 4 divided doses.
[0046] The novel compounds of this invention can be administered as the sole active ingredient or in combination with other antiarrhythmic agents or other cardiovascular agents.
[0047] The compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, of the present invention, in the described dosages, are administered orally, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, transdermally, sublingually or intravenously. They are preferably administered orally, for example in the form of tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, chewing gum, or the like prepared by art recognized procedures. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained.
[0048] Preferred Moieties
[0049] The preferred compounds of the present invention are those compounds of formula I where:
[0050] X is oxygen or N—CN;
[0051] Y is a single bond or —C═C—; and

[0102]
[0103] A. 3,3-Dimethylcyclohexanecarbonitrile
[0104] Tosylmethyl isocyanide (3.0 g, 15.4 mmol) was dissolved in 15 mL of anhydrous dimethylsulfoxide and the solution was cooled to 5-10° C. in an ice water bath. Potassium tert-butoxide (5.03g, 44.8 mmol) was then added and the solution turned dark brown in color. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. A solution of the cyclohexanone (1) (1.62 g, 12.8 mmol) in anhydrous methanol (685 μL) was added to the reaction via syringe and the reaction was stirred at room temperature under argon for 40 hours. The reaction was then diluted with 25 mL of water and placed in an ice water bath and the reaction was made acidic by the dropwise addition of aqueous HCl (6.0 M, aq.). The aqueous phase was extracted 2 times with hexane, and the organic phases were combined and dried over MgSO 4 , filtered and concentrated to provide 2.24 g of a yellow mixture of oil and solid. The crude mixture was purified by chromatography on silica gel (eluted with 0-50% dichloromethane in hexanes) and the fractions were concentrated and monitored by IR to find 870 mg (50%) of the nitrile product (2) as a transparent oil.
[0105] B. 3,3-Dimethylcyclohexanemethanamine Hydrochloride
[0106] The nitrile (2) (410 mg, 2.99 mmol) was dissolved in 6 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran and the resulting solution was cooled to 0° C. on an ice water bath. Solid lithium aluminum hydride (114 mg, 3.0 mmol) was then slowly added to the reaction in small portions. Upon full addition, the bath was removed and the reaction was stirred at room temperature under argon for 16 hours. The reaction was then cooled on an ice water bath and solid Na 2 SO 4 ·10 H 2 O was slowly added until gas evolution ceased. The reaction was diluted in 10 mL of Et 2 O and several drops of water were added to produce a filterable solid. The reaction was then filtered through a pad of Celite and 1.5 mL of 4.0 M HCl in dioxane was added to the filtrate. The cloudy reaction solution was stirred for 15 minutes and then concentrated in vacuo to provide 477 mg (90%) of a white solid.
[0107] C. N—[(3,3-Dimethylcyclohexyl)Methyl]-4-(Hexyloxy)-benzamide
[0108] The amine (3) was dissolved in 5 mL of anhydrous dichloromethane and triethylamine (171 μL, 1.23 mmol) was added at room temperature under argon. The solution was cooled in an ice water bath and hexyloxybenzoyl chloride (134 μL, 0.61 mmol) was added via syringe and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 64 hours. The reaction was partitioned between HCl (1.0 M , aq) and dichloromethane and the organic phase was washed with NaHCO 3 (sat'd, aq.), dried over MgSO 4 , filtered and concentrated to provide 224 mg of a white solid. The solid was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluted with 15% acetone, hexane to provide 142 mg (67%) of the desired amide.

[0109]
[0110] A. 6-methyl-1-cyclohexenenitrile and 2-methyl-1-cyclohexenenitrile
[0111] Trimethylsilyl cyanide (8.0 mL, 60.0 mmol) was added dropwise over a 5 minute period to a suspension of 2-methylcyclopentanone (1) (6.1 mL, 50.0 mmol) and zinc iodide (399 mg, 1.25 mmol) in methylene chloride (25 mL). After stirring for 3 hours, a mixture of phosphorous oxychloride (11.2 mL, 120 mmol) and pyridine (60 mL) was added to the reaction. The reaction was heated at 110° C. for 23 hours and then cooled to room temperature. The reaction was carefully poured onto 250 g of crushed ice, acidified with 6 N HCl (30 mL), and extracted with ether (3×150 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (50 mL), saturated NaHCO 3 (50 mL), dried (MgSO 4 ) and concentrated by distillation. Vacuum distillation (10 mm Hg) provided 5.56 g of a mixture of 6-methyl-1-cyclohexenenitrile and 2-methyl-1-cyclohexenenitrile (bp 86-91° C.).
[0112] B. ((2-Methylcylohexyl)Methyl)Amine Hydrochloride
[0113] The mixture of title A compounds (2.00 g, 16.5 mmol), PtO 2 (120 mg), and saturated ethanolic HCl (4.5 mL) in ethanol (75 mL) was shaken under a hydrogen atmosphere (55 psi) on a Parr shaker for 3.5 hours. After purging with nitrogen, the reaction was filtered through Celite AFA. The pad was rinsed with ethanol (3×15 mL) and the combined filtrates were concentrated in vacuo. Trituration of the solid residue with ether (1×50 mL, 2×20 mL) provided 2.29 g (85%) of ((2-methylcylohexyl)methyl)amine hydrochloride as a mixture of isomers.
[0114] C. 4-(Hexyloxy)-N-[(2-methylcyclohexyl)Methyl]Benzamide
[0115] To a suspension of title B compound (213 mg, 1.30 mmol) in THF (6 mL) was added triethylamine 0.42 mL, 3.0 mmol). After stirring for 5 minutes, 4-hexyloxybenzoyl chloride (0.223 mL, 1.00 mmol) was added. After stirring for 4 hours, the reaction was filtered through a Celite pad. The pad was rinsed with ether (4×5 mL) and the combined filtrates were concentrated in vacuo. Purification by RP-HPLC (YMC SH-365-10 120A S-110 30×500 mm column, 40 mL/minute, 90:10 methanol/water (containing 0.1% TFA)) afforded the title compound as a 1:1 mixture of cis- and trans- isomers (43 mg). MS: (ESI) (m/z) 332.

The layers were separated and the organic layer washed with brine, stirred over magnesium sulfate/charcoal for 15 minutes, filtered through Celite and concentrated in vacuo to give 7.5 g of a white solid which was dissolved in ethanol and added to a pressure flask. Palladium-hydroxide on carbon (10%, 750 mg) was added. The flask was placed on a Parr shaker and agitated under a hydrogen atmosphere (63 psi) for 4 hours. At the end of this time, nitrogen was bubbled through the reaction mixture for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite and concentrated in vacuum to afford 5.32 g of a white solid. Dry dichloromethane (100 mL) was added to the flask containing the above material. The flask was cooled to −78° C. in a dry ice-acetone bath and a solution of boron tribromide in dichloromethane (1 M, 57 mL, 57 mmol) was added via syringe over a period of 20 minutes. The reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours. At this time the dry ice-acetone bath was replaced with an ice-water bath and the reaction was allowed to warm to 4° C. over the period of 1 hour. At this time, the reaction was placed in the dry ice-acetone bath. After 10 minutes, methanol (10 mL) was added via syringe over a 2 minute period. The reaction was poured into a dichloromethane (500 mL)-water (100 mL) mixture. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (5×200 mL). The dichloromethane extracts were combined, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting material was purified by flash column chromatography (silica, 9:1-dichloromethane:methanol). The appropriate fractions were pooled and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2.99 g of a white solid. The above material was suspended in acetic anhydride and 3 drops of an acetic acid:sulfuric acid (1:1) mixture were added. The reaction flask was immersed in an oil bath which was heated to 160° C. for 1.5 hours. At the end of this time, the reaction was poured over an ice (50 g)/water (50 mL) mixture. The flask containing this mixture was heated at 55° C. with stirring for 1 hour. Over this period a white precipitate appeared in the flask. The flask was cooled in an ice-water bath for ½ hour and the precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration. This procedure yielded 3.3 g of 2.
[0279] B. Resin 3
[0280] Resin 1 (the title A resin of example 99, 5.6 g, loading=0.97 mmol/g, 5.4 mmol) was transferred into a glass SPOS reaction vessel. The resin was swelled with 20 mL of dry dichloromethane. After 10 minutes the solvent was drained away and 25 mL of dry dichloromethane was added. Acid 2 (2.07 g, 10.5 mmol) was added followed by 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (2.82 g, 10.5 mmol), triethylamine (1.8 mL, 12.9 mmol) and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (20 mg, cat.). The reaction was agitated on a wrist-action shaker for 16 hours. The solvent was drained from the resin which was then washed with dichloromethane (3×40 mL), THF (3×40 mL), methanol (3×40 mL) and THF (3×40 mL).
[0281] C. Resin 4
[0282] 6.0 g of resin 3 (loading=0.78 mmol/g, 4.7 mmol) was transferred into a glass SPOS reaction vessel. The resin was swelled with 50 mL of THF and 20 mL of a solution of sodium methoxide in methanol (0.5 M, 10 mmol) was added. The reaction was agitated for 20 hours and drained. The resin was washed with THF (40 mL) which was drained. A solution of acetic acid in THF (1:9) was then added. After agitating for ½ hour, the reaction was drained and the resin was then washed with dichloromethane (3×40 mL), THF (3×40 mL), methanol (3×40 mL) and THF (3×40 mL).
[0283] D. The title compound of Example 120
[0284] Resin 4 (200 mg, 0.164 mmol) was transferred into a polypropylene reaction tube which was fitted into a solid-phase reactor. The resin was swelled by the addition of 2.0 mL of dichloromethane. To the resin was added 4-(dimethylamino)-phenethyl alcohol (136 mg, 0.82 mmol), 1 mL of a solution of triphenylphosphine in THF (0.82 M, 0.82 mmol) and 1 mL of a solution of diisopropyl azodicarboxylate in THF (0.82 M, 0.82 mmol). The reaction block was agitated at 275 rpm for 20 hours. At the end of this period the solvent was drained and the resin was washed with DMF (3×5 mL), DMF-water (3×5 mL), DMF (3×5 mL), dichloromethane (3×5 mL), THF (3×5 mL), methanol (3×5 mL), and dichloromethane (3×5 mL). Dichloromethane (0.5 mL) was added followed by trifluoroacetic acid (3 mL). After 1 hour, the product was collected into a tared test-tube. The solvent was removed from the cleavage product in vacuo. The product was reconstituted with 3 mL of dichloromethane and the solvent removed in vacuo to provide the title compound (30.3 mg).
[0285] Using the procedure described in example 120, the following compounds were prepared.

Such salts include those formed with hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, methanesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, maleic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid and various others (e.g., nitrates, phosphates, borates, tartrates, citrates, succinates, benzoates, ascorbates, salicylates and the like). Such salts may be formed by reacting compound I in an equivalent amount of the acid in a medium in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by evaporation.
[0029] In addition, zwitterions (“inner salts”) may be formed.
[0030] A compound of the formula I may also have prodrug forms. Any compound that will be converted in vivo to provide the bioactive agent (i.e., the compound of formula 1) is a prodrug within the scope and spirit of the invention.
[0031] Various forms of prodrugs are well known in the art. For examples of such prodrug derivatives, see:

[0038] It should further be understood that solvates (e.g., hydrates) of the compounds of formula I are also within the scope of the present invention. Methods of salvation are generally known in the art.
[0039] All stereoisomers of the compounds of the instant invention are contemplated, either in admixture or in pure or substantially pure form. The compounds of the present invention can have asymmetric centers at any of the carbon atoms including any one of the R substituents. Consequently, compounds of formula I can exist in diastereomeric forms or in mixtures thereof. The below described processes can utilize racemates, enantiomers or diastereomers as starting materials. When diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional methods for example, chromatographyc or fractional crystallization.
[0040] Use and Utility
[0041] The compounds of formula I are useful in the treatment of arrhythmia. More specifically, the compounds of the present invention have the pharmacological properties required for the antiarrhythmic agents of Class III.
[0042] Class III agents increase myocardial refractoriness via a prolongation of cardiac action potential duration. Theoretically, prolongation of the cardiac action potential can be achieved by enhancing inward currents (i.e. Na + or Ca 2+ currents; hereinafter I Na and I Ca respectively) or by reducing outward repolarizing potassium (K + ) currents. The delayed rectifier (I K )K + current is the main outward current involved in the overall repolarization process during the action potential plateau, whereas the transient outward (I to ) and inward rectifier (I K1 )K + current are responsible for the rapid initial and terminal phases of repolarization, respectively. Cellular electrophysiologic studies have demonstrated that I K consists of two pharmacologically and kinetically distinct K + current subtypes, I Kr (rapidly activating and deactivating) and I KS (slowly activating and deactivating).
[0043] Most Class III agents that are known to be in development predominantly block I Kr . These agents have a potential liability in that they have an enhanced risk of proarrhythmia at slow heart rates. The compounds of the present invention prolong the mycocardial action potential in vitro without a significant depression of the Vmax and with the prolongation of Qtc-interval in anesthetized dogs. In addition the compounds of the present invention selectively block I Ks . The preferred compounds of the present invention are those which have selectivity of I Ks :I Kr greater than or equal to 5.
[0044] The compounds of the present invention are effective in treating and preventing all types of arrhythmias including ventricular and atrial (supraventricular) arrhythmias. The compounds of the present invention are especially useful to control reentrant arrhythmias and prevent sudden death due to the ventricular fibrillation.
[0045] In the novel method of this invention of treating arrhythmia, a novel compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered in an amount ranging from about 0.0001 to about 20 mg per kg of body weight per day, preferably from about 0.001 to about 10 mg per kg of body weight per day in a single dose or in 2 to 4 divided doses.
[0046] The novel compounds of this invention can be administered as the sole active ingredient or in combination with other antiarrhythmic agents or other cardiovascular agents.
[0047] The compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, of the present invention, in the described dosages, are administered orally, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, transdermally, sublingually or intravenously. They are preferably administered orally, for example in the form of tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, chewing gum, or the like prepared by art recognized procedures. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions or preparations is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained.
[0048] Preferred Moieties
[0049] The preferred compounds of the present invention are those compounds of formula I where:
[0050] X is oxygen or N—CN;
[0051] Y is a single bond or —C═C—; and

[0060] The nitrile of formula 4 is converted to the imino ether of formula 5 by treatment with hydrochloric acid in ethanol. The imino ether 6 is then reacted with cyanamide to provide a compound of formula 6 which on reaction with an amine of formula 3 provides the compounds of formula Ib.

A. Compound 2
[0278] A solution of 3-methoxybenzene boronic acid (4.0 g, 26.3 mmol) and benzyl-4-bromobenzoate (7.66 g, 26.3 mmol) in toluene (50 mL) was degassed by bubbling nitrogen through for 15 minutes. A solution of potassium carbonate in water (2 M, 13.1 mL, 26.2 mmol) was added followed by the addition of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (0.66 g, 0.57 mmol). The reaction flak was fitted with a reflux condenser and immersed in an oil bath which was heated to 150° C. After stirring under reflux for 14 hours, the reaction was allowed to cool and poured into an EtOAc (500 mL) -water (200 mL) mixture. The layers were separated and the organic layer washed with brine, stirred over magnesium sulfate/charcoal for 15 minutes, filtered through Celite and concentrated in vacuo to give 7.5 g of a white solid which was dissolved in ethanol and added to a pressure flask. Palladium-hydroxide on carbon (10%, 750 mg) was added. The flask was placed on a Parr shaker and agitated under a hydrogen atmosphere (63 psi) for 4 hours. At the end of this time, nitrogen was bubbled through the reaction mixture for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite and concentrated in vacuum to afford 5.32 g of a white solid. Dry dichloromethane (100 mL) was added to the flask containing the above material. The flask was cooled to −78° C. in a dry ice-acetone bath and a solution of boron tribromide in dichloromethane (1 M, 57 mL, 57 mmol) was added via syringe over a period of 20 minutes. The reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours. At this time the dry ice-acetone bath was replaced with an ice-water bath and the reaction was allowed to warm to 4° C. over the period of 1 hour. At this time, the reaction was placed in the dry ice-acetone bath. After 10 minutes, methanol (10 mL) was added via syringe over a 2 minute period. The reaction was poured into a dichloromethane (500 mL)-water (100 mL) mixture. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (5×200 mL). The dichloromethane extracts were combined, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting material was purified by flash column chromatography (silica, 9:1-dichloromethane:methanol). The appropriate fractions were pooled and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2.99 g of a white solid. The above material was suspended in acetic anhydride and 3 drops of an acetic acid:sulfuric acid (1:1) mixture were added. The reaction flask was immersed in an oil bath which was heated to 160° C. for 1.5 hours. At the end of this time, the reaction was poured over an ice (50 g)/water (50 mL) mixture. The flask containing this mixture was heated at 55° C. with stirring for 1 hour. Over this period a white precipitate appeared in the flask. The flask was cooled in an ice-water bath for ½ hour and the precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration. This procedure yielded 3.3 g of 2.
