Abstract

Fused aryl derivatives are described as lusitropic agents for use in the treatment of cardiovascular disease where there is a component of diastolic failure.

Description

La présente invention concerne l'utilisation de certains dérivés aryliques condensés comme agents lusitropes dans le traitement d'affections cardio-vasculaires où il existe une composante d'insuffisance diastolique. The present invention relates to the use of certain condensed aryl derivatives as lusitropic agents in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions where there is a component of diastolic insufficiency.

Le document WO 91/17987 fait connaître des dérivés aryliques condensés comme agonistes d'une protéine-kinase dépendante de AMP cyclique. WO 91/17987 discloses condensed aryl derivatives as agonists of a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

On a maintenant découvert que ces dérivés améliorent la relaxation myocardique, c'est-à-dire qu'ils possèdent une activité lusitrope positive, et sont donc utiles dans le traitement d'affections cardio-vasculaires où il existe une composante d'insuffisance diastolique. We have now discovered that these derivatives improve myocardial relaxation, that is to say that they have a positive lusitrope activity, and are therefore useful in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions where there is a component of diastolic insufficiency. .

Ainsi, sous un premier aspect, la présente invention propose l'utilisation d'un composé de formule (1)

Preferably, R1 is P (O) (OH) (OR) or a bioprecursor thereof as defined in document WO 91/17987.

Des composés particuliers de formule (1) com prennent
le pivaloyloxyméthyl [6- (1 -naphtyl ) -2-oxo-1 ,2-dihydro- 3-pyridyl]phosphonate d'éthyle,
la 6-(2-naphtyl)-3-( 5-tétrazolyl) pyridine-i!(lH) -one, et
la 6-[2-(1-pentyloxy)naphtyl]-3-(5-tétrazolyl)- pyridine-2(1H)-one.
Specific compounds of formula (1) include
ethyl pivaloyloxymethyl [6- (1-naphthyl) -2-oxo-1,2,2-dihydro-3-pyridyl] phosphonate,
6- (2-naphthyl) -3- (5-tetrazolyl) pyridine-i! (1H) -one, and
6- [2- (1-pentyloxy) naphthyl] -3- (5-tetrazolyl) - pyridine-2 (1H) -one.

Les composés de formule (1) peuvent être préparés et administrés sous forme de compositions pharmaceutiques, comme décrit dans le document WO 91/17987. The compounds of formula (1) can be prepared and administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions, as described in document WO 91/17987.

L'effet lusitrope positif des composés de formule (1) peut être démontré par la mesure du temps de relaxation du muscle cardiaque dans le ventricule de lapin. The positive lusitrope effect of the compounds of formula (1) can be demonstrated by measuring the relaxation time of the heart muscle in the rabbit ventricle.

Des muscles papillaires du ventricule droit de lapins de Nouvelle-Zélande albinos femelles sont placés dans des bains pour organes normaux contenant une solution de
Krebs oxygénée. Une extrémité du muscle est rattachée à un transducteur isométrique qui permet d'enregistrer la force contractile et sa dérivée première sur des enregistreurs graphiques. Les composés examinés sont ajoutés au bain d'une manière cumulative. Le temps de relaxation est calculé comme le temps compté depuis la tension crête jusqu'au point de demi-relaxation. A des concentrations 30 à 300uM, les composés examinés suivants ont provoqué une diminution de 5 à 25 % du temps de relaxation, ce qui dénote un effet lusitrope positif utile dans le traitement d'affections cardio-vasculaires où il existe une composante d'insuffisance diastolique comme décrit ci-dessus.
Papillary muscles of the right ventricle of female albino New Zealand rabbits are placed in normal organ baths containing a solution of
Oxygenated Krebs. One end of the muscle is attached to an isometric transducer which makes it possible to record the contractile force and its first derivative on graphic recorders. The compounds examined are added to the bath in a cumulative manner. The relaxation time is calculated as the time counted from the peak voltage to the half-relaxation point. At concentrations 30 to 300 µM, the following examined compounds caused a reduction of 5 to 25% of the relaxation time, which indicates a positive lusitrope effect useful in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions where there is a component of insufficiency diastolic as described above.

Les composés examinés étaient
le pivaloyloxyméthyl [6- (1 -naphtyl ) -2-oxo-1 , 2-dihydro- 3-pyridyl]phosphonate d'éthyle,
la 6- ( 2-naphtyl ) -3- (5-tétrazolyl )pyridine-2 (1H) -one, et
la 6-[2-(1-pentyloxy)naphtyl]-3-(5-tétrazolyl)pyridine-2(1H)-one.
The compounds examined were
ethyl pivaloyloxymethyl [6- (1-naphthyl) -2-oxo-1,2,2-dihydro-3-pyridyl] phosphonate,
6- (2-naphthyl) -3- (5-tetrazolyl) pyridine-2 (1H) -one, and
6- [2- (1-pentyloxy) naphthyl] -3- (5-tetrazolyl) pyridine-2 (1H) -one.
