Assessment of Biological Activity
(718) High Throughput Screening Assay
(719) This screening assay measures TRPC6 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 6) ion channel activation via addition either of the commercially available DAG ligand analogue OAG (1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol) or of the TRPC6 agonist 1-[1-(4,5,6,7,8-pentahydrocyclohepta[21-d]thiophen-2-ylcarbonyl)-4-piperidyl]-3-hydrobenzimidazol-2-one (GSK1702934A). The assay utilizes a FLIPR fluorescent calcium sensor 4-(6-Acetoxymethoxy-2,7-diftuoro-3-oxo-9-xanthenyl)-4′-methyl-2,2′-(ethylenedioxy)dianiline-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid tetrakis(acetoxymethyl) ester (Fluo4/AM) membrane potential (FMP) dye from Molecular Devices, which is a voltage sensitive indicator with a fluorescent quencher. Changes (increases) in intracellular membrane calcium concentration potential as measured by the fluorescent signal increase during membrane depolarization provide a measurement of channel activity,
(720) The commercially available HEK293/TREx line (invitrogen) was stably transthcted with a TRPC6 construct and screened by conventional calcium imaging to find clones with TRPC6 expression following stimulation with 1 μg/ml tetracycline. These cells were maintained in the growth medium recommended by the manufacturer supplemented with 100 μg/ml hygromycin to promote retention of the TRPC6 construct. After growing to near confluency, cells were plated at a density of .sup.−35,000 cells/well in 384 well CellBind plates (Corning) in the presence of 1 μg/ml tetracycline, and allowed to grow for 20-30 hrs. A nearly confluent monolayer resulted. Growth media was removed from the wells and cells were then loaded with 25 mL Fluo4/AM diluted in Ringer's Solution (6.5 g NaCl, 0.42 g KCl, 0.25 g CaCl2) and 0.2 g of sodium bicarbonate; pH 7.4) supplemented with 1% Pluronic F-127 to a final concentration of 0.5 μM and incubated for 60 min, at room temperature. Dye solution was then removed from the cells by inverting plates with a sharp flick, and replaced with 25 μl Ringer's. Following .sup.−0.5 hour for recovery from loading, cells were assayed using the Hamamatsu FDSS 6000 system, which permitted illumination at 485 nm. Frames were acquired at a rate of 0.2 Hz. During the assay, the plates were continuously vortexed, with pipette mixing of wells following addition of each reagent. For the screening assay, 26 μl of a diluted compound stock (at 50 μM) was added to each well for 2 minutes following the collection of a short (4 frame) baseline. 13 μl of agonist solution consisting of 125 nM GSK1702934A diluted in high-Ca2+Ringer solution (containing 90 mm Ca2+) was then added to each well, achieving a final concentration of 20 mm Ca2+ and 10 μM test compound. Data was collected for .sup.−3 minutes following addition of high Ca2+Ringer. The fluorescent ratio for each well was divided by the initial fluorescent intensity for that well and the overall response was determined by averaging the fluorescent ratio of the last 4 frames acquired during the experiment excepting the final frame. Negative and Positive controls were included on each plate. Negative controls wells consisted of HEK293/TRE.x TRPC6 cells exposed to assay buffer and agonist solution, but no test compound. Positive control consisted of wells consisted of HEK293/TREx TRPC6 cells exposed to 25 μM 3-[(2-chlorophenoxy)methyl]phenyl piperidyl ketone (Chembridge) diluted in Ringer's solution and agonist solution. These controls defined zero percent and 100 percent block respectively, and intensity of each well was normalized to these values.
(721) IC50s were determined using the above fluorescence method with the exception that instead of testing the compounds at 10 μM, compounds were tested at final concentrations of 20 μm, 6.667 μM, 2.222 μM, 0.741 μM, 0.247 μM, 0.082 μM, and 0.027 μM. Compounds were tested in triplicate at all concentrations. Standard software was used to fit IC50 curves.

For example, methods for treating kidney disease contemplate treating symptoms including, but not limited to, secondary hypertension, proteinuria, lipiduria, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, and coagulation abnormalities.
(726) Because of the important role that calcium regulation plays in many cellular processes including cellular activation, cytoskeletal rearrangement, gene expression, cellular trafficking and apoptotic cell death, calcium dyshomeostasis is implicated in the many diseases and disorders. These diseases and disorders include neurological and neurodegenerative diseases and disorders; inflammatory diseases and disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease; kidney disease such as hypercalcemia, kidney stones, and polycystic kidney disease; metabolic diseases and disorders including obesity and diabetes; liver and kidney diseases and disorders; chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular diseases and disorders including hypertension; respiratory diseases including COPD, IPAH, asthma, and emphysema; and cancers, including cancers of the brain, breast, kidney, cervix, prostate, gastrointestinal tract, (e.g., gastric cancer or stomach cancer), skin, and epithelia.
(727) These disorders have been well characterized in man, but also exist with a similar etiology in other mammals, and can be treated by pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention.
(728) Accordingly, a compound of the invention, as described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof may be used for the preparation of a medicament for treating a disease or disorder mediated by TRPC6, including those mehtioned above and in the Background and Detailed Description aections.
(729) For therapeutic use, the compounds of the invention may be administered via a pharmaceutical composition in any conventional pharmaceutical dosage form in any conventional manner. Conventional dosage forms typically include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier suitable to the particular dosage form selected. Routes of administration include, but are not limited to, intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intrasynovially, by infusion, sublingually, transdermally, orally, topically or by inhalation. The preferred modes of administration are oral and intravenous.
(730) The compounds of this invention may be administered alone or in combination with adjuvants that enhance stability of the inhibitors, facilitate administration of pharmaceutical compositions containing them in certain embodiments, provide increased dissolution or dispersion, increase inhibitory activity, provide adjunct therapy, and the like, including other active ingredients. In one embodiment, for example, multiple compounds of the present invention can be administered. Advantageously, such combination therapies utilize lower dosages of the conventional therapeutics, thus avoiding possible toxicity and adverse side effects incurred when those agents are used as monotherapies. Compounds of the invention may be physically combined with the conventional therapeutics or other adjuvants into a single pharmaceutical composition. Advantageously, the compounds may then be administered together in a single dosage form. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions comprising such combinations of compounds contain at least about 5%, but more preferably at least about 20%, of a compound of the invention (w/w) or a combination thereof. The optimum percentage (w/w) of a compound of the invention may vary and is within the purview of those skilled in the art. Alternatively, the compounds of the present invention and the conventional therapeutics or other adjuvants may be administered separately (either serially or in parallel). Separate dosing allows for greater flexibility in the dosing regimen.
(731) As mentioned above, dosage forms of the compounds of this invention may include pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and adjuvants known to those of ordinary skill in the art and suitable to the dosage form. These carriers and adjuvants include, for example, ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum stearate, lecithin, scram proteins, buffer substances, water, salts or electrolytes and cellulose-based substances. Preferred dosage forms include tablet, capsule, caplet, liquid, solution, suspension, emulsions, lozenges, syrup, reconstitutable powder, granule, suppository and transdermal patch. Methods for preparing such dosage forms are known (see, for example, H. C. Ansel and N. G. Popovish, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, 5th ed., Lea and Febiger (1990)). Dosage levels and requirements for the compounds of the present invention may be selected by those of ordinary skill in the art from available methods and techniques suitable for a particular patient. In some embodiments, dosage levels range from about 1-1000 mg/dose for a 70 kg patient. :Although one dose per day may be sufficient, up to 5 doses per day may be given. For oral doses, up to 2000 mg/day may be required. As the skilled artisan will appreciate, lower or higher doses may be required depending on particular factors. For instance, specific dosage and treatment regimens will depend on factors such as the patient's general health profile, the seventy and course of the patient's disorder or disposition thereto, and the judgment of the treating physician.
(732) The compounds of the invention may be used alone or in combination of one or more additional therapeutic agents. Nonlimiting examples of additional therapeutic agents may include:
(733) angiotensin II receptor antagonists (angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)) such as candesartan, eprosartan, candesartan, irbesartan, losartan, olmesartan, telmisartan, valsartan, azilsartan, and medoxomil;
(734) angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (e.g., benazepril, captopril, enalapril, fosinopril, lisinopril, moexipril, and perindopril);
(735) antidiabetics such as alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g., miglitol and acarbose), amylin analogs (e.g., pramlintide), dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (e.g., alogliptin, sitagliptin, saxagliptin, and linagliptin), incretin mimetics (e.g., liraglutide, exenatide, liraglutide, exenatide, dulaglutide albiglutide, and lixisenatide, insulin, meglitinides (e.g., repaglinide and nateglinide), biguanides (e.g., metformin); SGLT-2 inhibitors (e.g., canagliflozin, empaglifiozin, and dapaglitlozin), sulfonylureas (e.g., chlorpropamide, glimepiride, glyburide, glipizide, glyburide, tolazamide, and tolbutamide), and thiazolidinediones (e.g., rosiglitazone and pioglitazone);
(736) bronchodilators including short-acting and long-action beta agonists (e,g., albuterol, levalbuterol, salmeterol, formoterol, and arformoterol) and short- and long-acting anticholinergics (ipratropium, tiotropium, umeclidinium, glycopyrrolatei), and aclidinium).
(737) steroids such as fluticasone and budesonide;
(738) When used as combination treatment of a pharmaceutical combination, the compounds of the invention and the one or more additional agents can be administered in the same dosage form or different dosage forms. The compounds of the invention and the one or more additional agents can be administered simultaneously or separately, as part of a regimen.
