Description

UROTENSIN 11 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This present application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60/834,720 filed July 31, 2006, which is incorporated herein 5 by reference in its entirety and for all purposes. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to certain novel compounds, methods for preparing compounds, compositions, intermediates and derivatives thereof and methods for treating or ameliorating a Urotensin-Il mediated disorder. More 10 particularly, the compounds of the present invention are Urotensin-II receptor antagonists useful for treating or ameliorating Urotensin-Il mediated disorders. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Urotensin-Il (U-il) is a cysteine-linked cyclic peptide, which exerts potent effects on the cardiovascular, renal, pancreatic, and central nervous systems. 15 Originally, this substance was isolated from the urophysis (a caudal neurosecretory organ) of the goby fish (Gillichthys mirabilis) as a 12-mer, AGTAD cyclo(CFWKYC)-V (D. Pearson. J. E. Shively, B. R. Clark, I. 1. Geschwind, M. Barkley, R. S. Nishioka, H. A. Bem, Proc. Natl. Aced. Sci. USA 1980, 77, 5021 5024). but it has now been identified in all classes of vertebrates. The 20 composition of U-Il ranges from II amino acids in humans to 14 amino acids in mice, always with a conserved cysteine-linked macrocycle, CFWKYC. Recently, the U-11 receptor was identified (R. S. Ames, H. M. Sarau, J. K. Chambers, R. N. Willette, N. V. Aiyar, A. M. Romanic, C. S. Louden. J. J. Foley, C. F. Sauermelch, R. W. Coatney, Z. Ao, J. Disa, S. D. Holmes, J. M. Stadel, J. D. Martin, W.-S. Liu, 25 G. 1. Glover, S. Wilson, D. E. McNulty, C. E. Ellis, N. A. Elshourbagy, U. Shabon, J. J. Trill, D. W. P. Hay, E. H. Ohistein, D. J. Bergsma, S. A. Douglas, Nature (London) 1999, 401, 282-286) as a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) previously known as the GPR14 orphan receptor. (M. Tal, D. A. Ammar, M. Karpuj, V. Krizhanovsky, M. Naim, D. A. Thompson, Biochem. Biophys; Res. Commun. 1995, 209, 752-759; and A. Marchese, M. Heiber, T. Nguyen, H. H. Q. Heng, V. R. Saldivia, R. Cheng, P. M. Murphy, L.-C. Tsui, X. Shi, P. Gregor, S. R. George, B. 5 F. O'Dowd, J. M. Docherty, Genomics 1995, 29, 335-344) which is expressed predominantly in cardiovascular tissues. Goby U-11 possesses powerful vasoconstrictor activity in fish, mammals, and humans (J. M. Conlon, K. Yano, D. Waugh, N. Hazon, J. Exp. Zool. 1996, 275, 226-238; F. B6hm, J. Pemow, Br. J. Pharmacol. 2002, 135,25-27). 10 Moreover, it appears to be the most potent vasoconstrictor known, (S. A. Douglas, E. H. Ohistein, Trends Cardiovasc. Med. 2000, 10, 229-237) causing concentration-dependent contraction of isolated arterial rings of rats and humans with an EC50 value of less than I nM, which is ca. ten times more potent than endothelin-1. Recently. Kikkawa. H. and Kushida, H. in International Publication' 15 WO 2005/072226 disclosed the use of Urotensin-l antagonists for the prevention and/or treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases including, but not limited to, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and inflammatory colitis caused by bacteria, ischemia, radiation, drugs, or chemical substances. Relative to the role of U-Il in chronic vascular disease, this peptide was 20 reported to induce hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes (Y. Zou, R. Nagai, T. Yamazaki, FEBS Letters 2001, 508, 57-60) and the proliferation of smooth muscle cells (T. Watanabe, R. Pakala, T. Katagiri, C. R. Benedict, Circulation 2001, 104, 16-18), which suggests an involvement in heart failure and atherosclerosis. In addition, U II has been shown to increase peripheral vascular tone, a characteristic of chronic 25 heart failure (M. Lim, S. Honisett, C. D. Sparkes, P. Komesaroff, A. Kompa, H. Krum, Circulation 2004, 109, 1212-1214). Recent results have shown increased U-11 receptor levels observed in the atherosclerotic lesions of the human aorta (N. Bousette, L. Patel, S. A. Douglas, E. H. Ohlstein, A. Giaid, Atherosclerosis 2004, 176, 117-123). 30 Relative to healthy individuals, the expression of U-Il-like immunoreactivity 2 was 2-fold higher in the plasma of patients with renal dysfunction who were not on dialysis, and 3-fold higher in those on haemodialysis (K. Totsune, K. Takahashi, Z. Arihara, M. Sone, F. Satoh, S. Ito, Y. Kimura, H. Sasano, 0. Murakami, Lancet 2001, 358, 810-811). Recently, Kinoshita, M. and Kushida, H. in Intemational 5 Publication WO 2005/034873 disclosed the use of Urotensin-Il antagonists for reducing nephrotoxicity and diarrhea caused by anti-neoplastic agents. U-1l has been described as a potential mediator in diabetes. For instance, U-Il was shown to inhibit the release of insulin in the perfused rat pancreas in response to increasing glucose levels (R. A. Silvestre, J. Rodriguez-Gallardo, E. 10 M. Egido, J. Marco, Horm. Metab. Res. 2001, 33, 379-381). Elevated U-Il levels were seen in patients with diabetis mellitus (K. Totsune, K. Takahashi, Z. Arihara, M. Sone,.S. Ito, 0. Murakami, Clin. Sci. 2003, 104, 1-5) even without renal failure. Haplotypes.in the urotensin Il gene and urotensin Il receptor gene are reported to be associated with insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance (K. Ong, L. 15 Wong, Y. Man, R. Leung, Y. Song, K. Lam, B. Cheung, Peptides, 2006, 27(7), 1659-1667). A U-Il antagonist may be useful for the treatment of pain, neurological and psychiatric conditions, migraine, neuromuscular deficit, anxiety disorders and cardiovascular disorders. ICV (intracerebroventricular) administration of U-Il 20 increases rearing, grooming, and motor activity suggesting a CNS -stimulatory activity (J. Gartlon, F. Parker, D. C. Harrison, S. A. Douglas, T. E. Ashmeade, G. J. Riley, Z. A. Hughes, S. G. Taylor, R. P. Munton, J. J. Hagan, J. A. Hunter, D. N. C. Jones, Psychopharmacology 2001. 155,426-433). U-Il increases Fos expression in the cingulate cortex and periaqueductal grey brain regions important 25 in cognitive, emotional, and motor responses; the perceptions of pain; and panic responses (J. E. Gartlon, T. Ashmeade, M. Duxon, J. J. Hagan, D. N. C. Jones, Eur. J. of Pharmacol. 2004, 493, 95-98). U-Il induces anxiogenic-like responses in rodents in the elevated plus maze and hole-board tests (Y. Matsumoto, M. Abe, T. Watanabe, Y. Adachi, T. Yano, H. Takahashi, T. Sugo, M. Mori, C. Kitada, T. 30 Kurokawa, M. Fujino, Neuroscience Letters 2004, 358, 99-102). 3 Application JP 07242662 (also referred to as JP1995242662) describes substituted 4H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-ones as phospholipase A2 and interleukin 1 inhibitors. PCT Application WO 03/091248 describes 7-fluoro-6-(1-[2-(7-fluoro-2 5 methyl-quinolin-5-yloxy)-ethyl]-piperidin-4-ylmethyl)-4H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-3-one as a 5-HT1A receptor inhibitor. PCT Application WO 05/061457 describes substituted benzo[1,4]oxazines as renin inhibitors. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide compounds 10 that are Urotensin-Il antagonists useful for treating Urotensin-Il mediated disorders. It is another object of the invention to provide a process for preparing compounds, compositions, intermediates and derivatives thereof. It is a further object of the invention to provide methods for treating 15 Urotensin-li mediated cardiovascular, renal, pancreatic and central nervous system disorders including, but not limited to, chronic vascular disease, vascular hypertension, heart failure, atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's. disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory colitis (caused by bacteria, ischemia, radiation, drugs or chemical substances), renal dysfunction, renal failure, renal 20 failure caused by drug induced toxicity, nephrotoxicity and diarrhea caused by anti-neoplastic agents, nephrotoxicity caused by radiocontrast agents and aminoglycosides, post-myocardial infarction, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, Insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes, diabetic complications, diabetic nephropathy, pain, Alzheimer's disease, convulsions. 25 depression, migraine, psychosis, anxiety, neuromuscular deficit and stroke. 4 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a compound of Formula (I): R2 L R3 A N I.

The present invention includes within its scope prodrugs of the compounds 25 of this invention. In general, such prodrugs will be functional derivatives of the compounds that are readily convertible in vivo into the required compound. Thus, in the methods of treatment of the present invention, the term "administering" shall encompass the treatment of the various disorders described with the compound specifically disclosed or with a compound which may not be specifically disclosed, 30 but which converts to the specified compound in vivo after administration to the 42 patient. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in "Design of Prodrugs". ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985. Where the compounds according to this invention have at least one chiral 5 center, they may accordingly exist as enantiomers. Where the compounds possess two or more chiral centers, they may additionally exist as diastereomers. It is to be understood that all such isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, compounds of the present invention may have one or more crystalline polymorph or amorphous forms and, 10 as such, are intended to be included in the scope of the invention. In addition, some of the compounds may form solvates with water (i.e., hydrates) or common organic solvents (e.g.,-organic esters such as ethanolate and the like) and, as such, are also intended to be encompassed within the scope of this invention.. Where the processes for the preparation of the compounds according to the 15 invention give rise to mixture of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated using various well known chromatographic methods such as preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared in racemic form, or individual enantiomers may be prepared either by enantlospecific synthesis or by resolution. The compounds may, for example, be resolved into their component enantiomers 20 by standard techniques, such as the formation of diastereomeric pairs by salt formation with an optically active acid, such as (-)-di-p-toluoyl-d-tartaric acid and/or (+)-di-p-toluoyl-1-tartaric acid followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base. The compounds may also be resolved by formation of diastereomeric esters or amides, followed by chromatographic separation and 25 removal of the chiral auxiliary. Alternatively, the compounds may be resolved using a chiral HPLC column. During any of the processes for preparation of the compounds of the present invention, it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by 30 means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in Protective 43 Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J.F.W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973; and T.W. Greene & P.G.M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 1991. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known from the art. 5 Even though the compounds of the present invention (including their pharmaceutically, acceptable salts and pharmaceutically acceptable solvates) can be administered alone, they will generally be administered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier, excipient or diluent selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical or veterinary practice. Thus, 10 the present invention is directed to pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or diluents. By way of example, in the pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions of the present invention, the compounds of the present invention may be admixed 15 with any suitable binder(s), lubricant(s), suspending agent(s), coating agent(s), and/or solubilising agent(s). Tablets or capsules of the compounds may be administered singly or two or more at a time, as appropriate.. It is also possible to administer the compounds in sustained release formulations. 20 Alternatively, the compounds of the general Formula (1) can be administered by inhalation or in the form of a suppository or pessary, or they may be applied topically in the form of a lotion, solution, cream, ointment or dusting powder. An alternative means of transdermal administration is by use of a skin patch. For example, they can be incorporated into a cream consisting of an 25 aqueous emulsion of polyethylene glycols or liquid paraffin. They can also be incorporated, at a concentration of between I and 10% by weight, into an ointment consisting of a white wax or white soft paraffin base together with such stabilizers and preservatives as may be required. For some applications, preferably the compositions are administered orally 44 . in the form of tablets containing excipients such as starch or lactose, or in capsules or ovules either alone or in admixture with exciplents, or in the form of elixirs, solutions or suspensions containing flavoring or coloring agents. The compositions (as well as the compounds alone) can also be injected 5 parenterally, for example intracavernosaly, intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. In this case, the compositions will comprise a suitable carrier or diluent. For parenteral administration, the compositions are best used in the form of a sterile aqueous solution which may contain other substances, for example 10 enough salts or monosaccharides to make the solution isotonic with blood. Forbuccal or sublingual administration the compositions may be administered in the form of tablets or lozenges which can be formulated in a conventional manner. By way of further example, pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions 15 containing one or more of the compounds of the invention described herein as the active ingredient can be prepared by intimately mixing the compound or compounds with a pharmaceutical carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending upon the desired route of administration (e.g., oral, parenteral). 20 Thus for liquid oral preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions, suitable carriers and additives include water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, stabilizers, coloring agents and the like; for solid oral preparations, such as powders, capsules and tablets, suitable carriers and additives include starches, sugars, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, 25 binders, disintegrating agents and the like. Solid oral preparations may also be coated with substances such as sugars or be enteric-coated so as to modulate the major site of absorption. For parenteral administration, the carrier will usually consist of sterile water and other ingredients may be added to increase solubility or preservation. Injectable suspensions or solutions may also be prepared 45 utilizing aqueous carriers along with appropriate additives. Advantageously, compounds of the present invention may be administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered in divided doses of two, three or four times daily. Furthermore, compounds for the present 5 invention can be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal skin patches well known to those skilled in that art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen. 10 It is also apparent to one skilled in the art that the therapeutically effective dose for active compounds of the invention or a pharmaceutical composition thereof will vary according to the desired effect. Therefore, optimal dosages to be administered may be readily determined and will vary with the particular compound used, the mode of administration, the strength of the preparation, and 15 the advancement of the disease condition- In addition, factors associated with the particular subject being treated, including subject age, weight, diet and time of administration, will result in the need to adjust the dose to an appropriate therapeutic level. The above dosages are thus exemplary of the average case. There can, of course, be individual instances where higher or lower dosage 20 ranges are merited, and such are within the scope of this invention. Compounds of this invention may be administered in any of the foregoing compositions and dosage regimens or by means of those compositions and dosage regimens established in the art whenever use of the compounds of the invention as analgesics is required for a subject in need thereof. 25 The invention also provides a pharmaceutical or veterinary pack or kit comprising one or more containers filled with one or more of the ingredients of the pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions of the invention. Optionally associated with such container(s) can be a notice in the form prescribed by a governmental agency regulating the manufacture, use or sale of pharmaceuticals 46 or biological products, which notice reflects approval by the agency of manufacture, use or sale for human administration. The present invention is also directed to a method for treating or ameliorating a Urotensin-l mediated disorder. 5 An example of the method of the present invention is a method for treating or ameliorating a disease or condition in a mammal which disease or condition is affected by antagonism of a Urotensin 11 receptor, which method comprises administering to the mammal in need of such treatment or prevention an effective amount of a compound of Formula (1): R2 L L3 R3 A N 0 N 10 R and forms thereof, wherein Ring A is selected from the group consisting of piperidinyl, 8-aza-bicyclo[3.2.l]oct-2 enyl, 8-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octy and 1,2,3.6-tetrahydro-pyridinyl; Y is selected from the group consisting of CH 2 , 0 and S; 15 L 1 is absent or is selected from the group consisting of -C(O)O-RI, -C(O)N(Rs)-R, and -NHC(O)-R1;

Another example of the method of the present invention is a method for treating or ameliorating a Urotensin-Il mediated disorder in a subject in need 5 thereof comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound of Formula (1) or a form thereof. In particular, a Urotensin Il-mediated disorder includes, and is not limited to, chronic vascular disease, vascular hypertension, heart failure, atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory 10 colitis (caused by bacteria, ischemia, radiation, drugs or chemical substances), renal dysfunction, renal failure, renal failure caused by drug induced toxicity, nephrotoxicity and diarrhea caused by anti-neoplastic agents, nephrotoxicity caused by radiocontrast agents and aminoglycosides, post-myocardial infarction, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, insulin resistance and impaired 15 glucose tolerance, diabetes, diabetic complications, diabetic nephropathy, pain, Alzheimer's disease, convulsions, depression, migraine, psychosis, anxiety, neuromuscular deficit and stroke. The present invention also includes the use of the compound of formula (I) or a form thereof for the manufacture of a medicament for treating or ameliorating 20 a Urotensin-l mediated disorder In a subject in need thereof. An example of the present invention includes a method for treating or ameliorating a Urotensin-ll mediated disorder, wherein the disorder is heart failure. The term "medicament" refers to a product for use in treating or ameliorating a Urotensin-l mediated disorder. 25 The term "subject" as used herein, refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human, who has been a patient or the object of treatment, observation or experiment. The term "effective amount" as used herein, means that amount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal 49 response In a tissue system, animal or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician, which includes alleviation of the symptoms of the disease or disorder being treated. The effective amount of said compound or form thereof is from about 0.001 5 mg/kg/day to about 300 mg/kg/day. As used herein, the term "composition" is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combinations of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts. 10 As used herein, the-term neoplasmm" refers to an abnormal growth of cells or tissue and is understood to include benign, i.e., non-cancerous growths, and malignant, i.e., cancerous growths. The term "neoplastic" means of or related to neoplasm. As used herein, the term "agent" is understood to mean a substance that 15 produces a desired effect in a tissue, system, animal., mammal (in particular human), or other subject. Accordingly, the term "anti-neoplastic agent" is understood to mean a substance producing an anti-neoplastic effect in a tissue, system, animal, mammal (in particular human), or other subject. It is understood that an "agent" may be a single compound or a combination or composition of two 20 or more compounds. Some of the typical anti-neoplastic agents include alkylating agents such as melphalan, chlorambucil, cyclophosphamide, mechlorethamine, hexamethylmelamine, busulfan, carmustine, lomustine, and dacarbazine; antimetabolites such as 5-fluorouracil, methotrexate, cytarabine, mecaptopurine, 25 and thioguanine; antimitotic agents such as paclitaxel, docetaxel, vinblastine, vincristine; topoisomerase I inhibitors such as irinotecan, campthothecin and camptothecin derivatives, for example topotecan; topoisomerase II inhibitors such as doxorubicin; and platinum coordination complexes such as cisplatin and carboplatin. 50 An embodiment of the present invention is a method for treating a U-Il mediated disorder including, but not limited to, vascular hypertension, heart failure, atherosclerosis, renal failure, renal failure caused by drug induced toxicity, nephrotoxicity and diarrhea caused by anti-neoplastic agents, nephrotoxicity 5 caused by radiocontrast agents and aminoglycosides, post-myocardial infarction, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes, diabetic complications, diabetic nephropathy, depression, psychosis, anxiety and stroke. The present method of using Urotensin Il receptor antagonists to reduce 10 anti-neoplastic agent induced diarrhea and nephrotoxicity is applicable in any situation when anti-neoplastic agents (such as cisplatin, cis diaminedichloroplatinum) are being administered to treat cancers or tumors. However, most often Uli antagonists are used when tumors or cancers being treated are those of solid malignancies, notably those of the bladder, cervix, lung, 15 ovary, and tests such as testicular tumor, bladder cancer, ureterpyelonephritic tumor, prostatic cancer, ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer, esophageal cancer, cervical cancer, neuroblastoma, gastric cancer, small cell lung cancer, bone cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, tumors of brain, endometrium, upper gastrointestinal tract, head and neck and thymus, 20 neuroblastoma and sarcoma of bone and soft tissue. Recent data has demonstrated that Urotensin I receptor antagonists may be useful for improving cardiac function and for cardiac remodeling associated with chronic heart failure (CHF) (N. Bousette, F. Hu, E. H. Ohlstein, D. Dhanak, S. A. Douglas, A. Giaid, Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology 2006, In 25 Press). Long-term treatment of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats with palosuran improved survival, increased insulin, and slowed the increase in glycemia, glycosylated hemoglobin, and serum lipids. Furthermore, palosuran increased renal blood flow and delayed the development of proteinuria and renal damage (M. Clozel, P. Hess, C. Qiu, S. S. Ding, M. Rey, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2006, 316 30 (3), 1115-1121). 51 A therapeutically effective amount for use of the instant compounds or a pharmaceutical composition thereof comprises-a dose range from about 0.1 mg to about 3000 mg, in particular from about 1 mg to about 1000 mg or, more particularly from about 10 mg to about 500 mg of active ingredient in a regimen of 5 about 1 to 4 times per day for an average (70 kg) human; although, it is apparent to one skilled in the art that the therapeutically effective amount for active compounds of the invention will vary as will the conditions being treated. Optimal dosages of the compounds of Formula (1) to be administered for the treatment of or prevention of Urotensin it mediated disorders may be readily 10 determined by those skilled in the art, and will vary with the particular compound used, the mode of administration, the strength of the preparation, and the advancement of the disease condition. In addition, factors associated with the particular patient being treated, including patient age, weight, diet and time of administration, will result in the need to adjust dosages. 15 For oral administration, a pharmaceutical composition is preferably provided in the form of tablets containing 0.01, 10.0, 50.0. 100, 150, 200, 250, and 500 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the subject to be treated. A representative compound of Formula (I) or a form thereof includes a 20 compound selected from the group consisting of: Cpd Name 1

2 20 3-2 34 Step 3. Synthesis of 2-naphthalen-2-yl-ethylamine (Compound 3-3). Arylethylamines that were not commercially available were made by the following procedure. 2-Naphthylacetonitrile Compound 3-2 (16.7 g, 0.10 mol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was added to 1M solution of BHa-THF (250 25 mL, 0.25 mol) over 10 min at room temperature. The reaction proceeds with an induction period of 2-4 min. Following the addition, the mixture was heated under reflux and under argon for one hour (TLC of a quenched aliquot showed no 78 starting material). The reaction was cooled in an ice bath and 10% aqueous HCI (150 mL) was added with caution over a 30 min period (vigorous reaction with the first few drops). Following the addition concentrated hydrochloric acid (100 mL) was added and the mixture brought up to reflux for 30 min. The reaction was 5 cooled in an ice bath and extracted once with ethyl ether. The aqueous layer was carefully brought to pH 12 with 40% sodium hydroxide solution (use of concentrated base allows for smaller volumes of the aqueous layer and simplifies the extraction of the amine) and extracted with diethyl ether (4 x 250 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (50 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, and 10 evaporated at reduced pressure below 40 "C. The solvent was not completely removed to avoid loss of product. TLC (85:15 CHCI/MeOH, Rf = 0.1) shows that the amine is essentially pure. Oxalic acid (9.0 g, 0.10 mole) was dissolved in methanol (10 mL) and added to the crude amine diluted with diethyl ether to a 300 mL volume. The white precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with ether, 15 and dried in vacuo to provide Compound 3-3 (22.3 g, 85%) as the oxalate salt (mp = 191-193 *C).

A. Kinney, H. R. Almond, Jr., J. Qi, C. E. Smith, R. J. Santulli, L. de Garavilla, P. Andrade-Gordon, D. S. Cho, A. M. Everson, M. A. Feinstein, P. A. Leung, B. E. Maryanoff, Angew. Chem., Intl. Ed. 2002, 41, 2940 2944), in CHO cells transfected with rat GPR14 (U-il receptor) (M. Tal, D. A. Ammar, M. Karpuj, V. Krizhanovsky, M. Naim, D. A. Thompson, Biochem. 25 Biophys. Res. Commun. 1995, 209, 752-759. A. Marchese, M. Heiber, T. Nguyen, H. H. Heng, V. R. Saldivia, R. Cheng, P. M. Murphy, L. C. Tsui, X. Shi, P. Gregor, Genomics 1995, 29, 335-344). To derive these cells, the complete coding sequence of rat U-il (Genbank 98 Accession No. U32673) was amplified by nested PCR from rat heart marathon Ready cDNA. PCR was carried out by using the DNA polymerase PFU (Stratagene) following conditions suggested by the manufacturer. The PCR products were cloned into pcDNA3 (Invitrogen) digested with EcoR I and Xba 1. 5 Clones containing rat U-Il receptor were verified by complete sequencing of the U I receptor insert to ensure a lack of PCR-introduced errors. The constructed vector was transfected into CHO cells by using lipofectamine (GIBCO BRL). CHO cells with high expression of rat U-l receptor were selected and established as stable cell lines by using G418. CHO cells were seeded at 25,000 cells per well 10 into 96-well, black-wall, clear-bottom microtiter plates 24 hrs before assay. Cells in culture media (DMEM/F12 containing 15 mM HEPES, L-glutamine, pyridoxine hydrochloride; 10% fetal bovine serum; 1 mg/mL G418 sulfate; antibiotic antimycotic; pH 7.4) were loaded with proprietary dye, from the FLIPR Calcium Assay Kit (Molecular Devices), prepared in assay buffer (Hanks Balanced Salts 15 Solution, 20 mM HEPES, 0.1% BSA, 2.5 mM probenecid, pH 7.4), and incubated for 1 hr at 37 *C. Calcium mobilization determinations were performed at room temperature (23 *C). The use of rat GPR14 was considered acceptable, because human U-Il has similar affinity for human or rat GPR14 in.the transfected cells (S. A. Douglas, E. H. Ohlstein, Trends Cardiovasc. Med. 2000, 10,229-237). The 20 resulting data is shown in Table 3. Example 2 Human Radioligand Binding Assay Human Skeletal Muscle Myoblasts (HSMM) were obtained from Cambrex, and were cultured according to manufacturer's instruction. Cell viability was 25 examined by trypan blue exclusion. Cells at less than 4 passages were used in all studies. For the ( 25 1)-U-lI binding experiments (Described in: "Characterization of Functional Urotensin II Receptors in Human Skeletal Muscle Myoblasts: Comparison with Angiotensin I Receptors" J. Qi, L. K. Minor, C. Smith, B, Hu, J. Yang, P. Adrade-Gordon, B. Damiano, Peptides 2005, 26, 683-690), HSMM were 99 plated in 12-well Costar plates in complete medium for 48 hrs to reach 70% confluence. The binding medium used was Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 2 mg/ml BSA and 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.4). The cells were washed at room temperature 2x with the binding medium, and were incubated with 5 0.2 ml per well of prepared binding medium containing 0.150 nM (125)-U-11 and compounds for 3 hrs. The cells were washed 4x with the binding medium and solubilized in 1% SDS and 0.5 N NaOH. Radioactivity was quantified by gamma counting. Radiolabeled ( 12 5 1)-U-ll bound specifically and saturably to intact adherent 10 HSMM. The binding assays were performed at 25 'C to lower nonspecific uptake of ( 125 1)-U-1l by the cells that is seen at 37 'C. Using this method, the nonspecific binding was below 10% of total binding. Analysis of the saturation data using the non-linear curve-fitting technique of GraphPad Prism Version 3.0 revealed that the best fit observed was for a one-site model. The derived Kd value was 0.309 ± 15 0.022 nM (N=3 experiments) with the Hill slope close to unity. Based on the number of cells in a well and Bmax value, the number of UT receptors in HSMM was 2311 ± 236 per cell (N=3 experiments). A time course experiment demonstrated that ( 12 5 i)-U-Il binding to HSMM reached steady state at 3 hrs, and remained constant up to 5 hr, the longest time point measured. Human U-Il, when 20 add at time 0, efficiently displaced specific binding of ( 12 5 1)-U-ll with a Ki of 0.425 ± 0.096 nM (N=3 experiments). The resulting data is shown in Table 4.
