Some compounds of formula (I) were subjected to pharmacological tests for determining their activation effects on TRPM8 receptor.

In Vitro Pig and Human TRPM8 Fluorescence Calcium Flux Assays

[0980] For functional expression of TRPM8, the full-length cDNA encoding human (NM_024080) and pig (XM_001927892.1) TRPM8 sequences were subcloned into p658 and pcDNA5/FRT/TO mammalian expression vectors, respectively. Engineered recombinant CHO cell lines expressing human or pig TRPM8 were generated. Culture media was Ham-F12 with 10% FCS for both lines, and for the pig cell line only 400 ?g/ml hygromycin B and 30 ?g/mL blasticidin were added as selection antibiotics (all reagents were obtained from Invitrogen, Fisher Scientific). Cells were grown in culture flasks up to 80% confluence where they were harvested using accutase (Sigma, MO, USA) to detach the cells by enzymatic dissociation and either seeded directly into assay plates or cryopreserved for future use.

[0981] For calcium flux assays, cells were plated into clear base poly-D-lysine coated 384-well plates (BD Biosciences, NJ USA) at a density of 15,000 cells per well in appropriate culture medium and grown overnight. The following day, all medium was removed then the cells were incubated with 2 ?M of Fluo4-AM Dye (Molecular Probes) prepared in complete HBSS assay buffer containing 20 mM HEPES, 0.1% BSA, and 2.5 mM probenecid at room temperature for one hour. Following incubation, plates were inserted into a FDSS6000 instrument (Hamamatsu, Photonics, Japan) instrument, where cells were challenged with compounds of the formula (at varying concentrations) and intracellular calcium was measured kinetically for 3 min after addition.

[0982] This protocol allowed the determination of an EC50 value, from the sixteen-point dose response data, for each compound of the formula tested. Maximal fluorescence intensity achieved upon addition of 100 ?M menthol (stock solution prepared in ethanol from solid, Sigma-Aldrich) was exported from the FDSS and further analyzed using IDBS XLFit 5. Data were normalized to the average 100 ?M menthol response (maximum control wells) included in each plate. The dose response curves from the average of wells for each data point were analyzed by using nonlinear regression of sigmoidal dose response (formula 205). Finally, the (menthol-related) EC50 values (Half maximal effective concentration) were calculated with the best-fit dose curve determined by IDBS XLFit 5 software.

In Vitro Pig and Human TRPM8 Automated Patch-Clamp Assays

[0983] Automated whole-cell recordings of compound effects were performed on the SyncroPatch 384PE (Nanion Technologies, Munich, Germany) incorporated into a Biomek FX pipetting robot (Beckman Coulter, Jersey City, NJ, USA) using the same engineered CHO cell lines expressing human or pig TRPM8 channels. Data acquisition and analysis were performed with the proprietary software PatchControl 384 and DataControl 384, respectively (Nanion Technologies, Munich, Germany). All recordings were carried out using planar borosilicate glass patch clamp chips in a 384-microtiter plate format with patch hole resistances of 2-4 MO. For recordings, standard intracellular solution was used containing (in mM): 130 KF, 4 NaCl, 1 MgCl.sub.2, 0.5 CaCl.sub.2, 10 HEPES and 10 EGTA/KOH (pH 7.2) and standard extracellular solution contained in mM: 150 NaCl, 4 KCl, 0.5 CaCl.sub.2, 1 MgCl.sub.2 and 10 HEPES (pH 7.3).

[0984] Prior to the electrophysiological measurements, cells were harvested using Accutase (GIBCO, Fisher Scientific) and resuspended in warmed extracellular solution. The cell suspension was kept in the dedicated cell reservoir at 28? C. at a 1 million/ml cell density and shaken at 500 rounds per min (rpm). Experiments were performed at 28? C. throughout. Cells were distributed in high resistance 4-holes-per-well Nanion chips where they were caught on the patch holes by application of a ?80 mbar pressure. The cell membrane was ruptured to obtain the whole-cell configuration with a pressure pulse of ?250 mbar for 2 seconds. Voltage protocols were constructed using PatchControl 384. The cells were held at a holding potential of ?60 mV and TRPM8 currents were recorded using a ramp protocol from ?80 to +80 mV every 5 seconds before and after compound addition. Resulting currents were recorded at both ?80 and +80 mV and current kinetics were exported and analyzed. From each plate, control wells with 200 ?M menthol were recorded to validate the assay. One concentration of compound was applied to each of the other wells. For each concentration, compound response was determined by subtracting the baseline current recorded before compound addition from the maximum peak elicited currents obtained after compound addition. Then, each compound response was normalized to control condition without compound and maximum current (Emax) obtained for each compound. Nanion DataControl 384 software plotted current response for each compound concentration and was able to calculate an EC50 value for each active compound.

[0986] For testing the efficacy of TRPM8 agonists for enhancing swallowing, experiment using the pig model can be conducted according to assay described below. The efficacy can be compared to a vehicle control.

In Vivo Assay

[0987] Male castrated German Landrace pigs (weight range of 20 to 35 kg) were used. Anesthesia was induced by injecting 20 ml of a urethane solution (20 g/100 mL dissolved in saline) into an ear vein corresponding to a dose of around 16.8 mg/Kg. Anesthesia was maintained by continuous infusion of 15-20 mL per hour of the urethane solution, which was infused into an epigastric vein, and additionally by infusion of Zoletil and Rompun (500 mg Zoletil is disssovled in 10 ml of Rompun 2%, then diluted 1:10 with saline and 3-5 mL per hour of this diluted solution. Bupivacain 0.5% JENAPHARM@ was injected for additional infiltration anesthesia. Anesthesia was monitored via pulsoximetry (ear) and regular reflex testing for pain. Body temperature was monitored and maintained by an infrared lamp.

[0988] Preparation of pigs: Swallowing responses were assessed by manometry with a pressure probe placed into the mouth of the pig. The pressure probe consisted of a plastic tube (diameter 3.3 mm) to which a small balloon was attached. The tube was advanced about 12-14 cm into the mouth related to the snout. The balloon was then inflated with air to yield a pressure of 20-30mbar (vehicle). Ideally a swallowing response with 1 ml of fluid raised this pressure by 20-50mbar which was then referred to as the swallowing pressure (the increment of this pre-set pressure in the inflated balloon after swallowing) to be further enhanced by an effective test drug.

[0989] The free end of the tube was connected to a differential pressure transducer MPX Type 399/2 (Hugo Sachs Elektronik-Harvard Apparatus) and a Hugo Sachs Plugsys-amplifier system. The biological signals were recorded by a Hugo Sachs Plugsys-amplifier system and continuously stored on a computer hard disk by an on line data acquisition and analysis system (Hem 4.2 Notocord Systems, Croissy-sur-Seine, France).

[0990] A second tube referred to as injection tube was placed dorsally to the manometer tube to enable the administration of the vehicle that induced the baseline swallowing activity, or of this same vehicle containing the test compound.

[0991] Induction and assessment of swallowing activity: 0.5h after anesthesia induction 1 ml of a fluid or the vehicle for the test drug was injected into the injection tube placed into the oral cavity. The number of swallows was counted and the highest-pressure increment was registered. Challenges with vehicle were repeated at intervals of 30 min until two consecutive vehicle challenges show an about equal swallowing response. The next challenge was the vehicle loaded with the test drug (otherwise same procedure). The efficacy of a compound to enhance swallowing as shown in Table 7 was expressed as the % increase in pressure and frequency of swallowing after administration of the compound compared to the pressure and frequency recorded for its vehicle administered just before.
