As shown above, bridged rings are also included in the definition of carbocyclyl (e.g., [2.2.2]bicyclooctane). A bridged ring occurs when one or more carbon atoms link two non-adjacent carbon atoms. Preferred bridges are one or two carbon atoms. It is noted that a bridge always converts a monocyclic ring into a tricyclic ring. When a ring is bridged, the substituents recited for the ring may also be present on the bridge. When the term carbocyclyl is used, it is intended to include aryl, cycloalkyl, spirocycloalkyl, and cycloalkenyl. Preferred carbocyclyls, unless otherwise specified, are cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, and indanyl.
[0325] Cycloalkyl is intended to mean cyclized alkyl groups, including mono-, bi- or multicyclic ring systems. C.sub.3 to C.sub.7 cycloalkyl or C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl is intended to include C.sub.3, C.sub.4, C.sub.5, C.sub.6, and C.sub.7 cycloalkyl groups.

The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms may optionally be oxidized (i.e., N.fwdarw.O and S(O).sub.p, wherein p is 0, 1 or 2). The nitrogen atom may be substituted or unsubstituted (i.e., N or NR wherein R is H or another substituent, if defined). The heterocyclic ring may be attached to its pendant group at any heteroatom or carbon atom that results in a stable structure. The heterocyclic rings described herein may be substituted on carbon or on a nitrogen atom if the resulting compound is stable. A nitrogen in the heterocyclyl may optionally be quaternized. It is preferred that when the total number of S and O atoms in the heterocyclyl exceeds 1, then these heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another. It is preferred that the total number of S and O atoms in the heterocyclyl is not more than 1. Bridged rings are also included in the definition of heterocyclyl.

Also included are fused ring and spiro compounds containing, for example, the above heterocyclyls.
[0333] Bicyclic heterocyclyl bicyclic heterocyclyl or bicyclic heterocyclic group is intended to mean a stable 9- or 10-membered heterocyclic ring system which contains two fused rings and consists of carbon atoms and 1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms independently selected from the group consisting of N, O and S. Of the two fused rings, one ring is a 5- or 6-membered monocyclic aromatic ring comprising a 5-membered heteroaryl ring, a 6-membered heteroaryl ring or a benzo ring, each fused to a second ring. The second ring is a 5- or 6-membered monocyclic ring which is saturated, partially unsaturated, or unsaturated, and comprises a 5-membered heterocyclyl, a 6-membered heterocyclyl or a carbocyclyl (provided the first ring is not benzo when the second ring is a carbocyclyl).
[0334] The bicyclic heterocyclic group may be attached to its pendant group at any heteroatom or carbon atom which results in a stable structure. The bicyclic heterocyclic group described herein may be substituted on carbon or on a nitrogen atom if the resulting compound is stable. It is preferred that when the total number of S and O atoms in the heterocyclyl exceeds 1, then these heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another. It is preferred that the total number of S and O atoms in the heterocyclyl is not more than 1.
[0335] Examples of a bicyclic heterocyclic group are, but not limited to, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, phthalazinyl, quinazolinyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, indolinyl, 1H-indazolyl, benzimidazolyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolinyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolinyl, 2,3-dihydrobenzofuranyl, chromanyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxalinyl, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolinyl.
[0336] Heteroaryl is intended to mean stable monocyclic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that include at least one heteroatom ring member such as sulfur, oxygen, or nitrogen. Heteroaryl groups include, without limitation, pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, triazinyl, furyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, thienyl, imidazolyl, thiazolyl, indolyl, pyrroyl, oxazolyl, benzofuryl, benzothienyl, benzthiazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, indazolyl, 1,2,4-thiadiazolyl, isothiazolyl, purinyl, carbazolyl, benzimidazolyl, indolinyl, benzodioxolanyl, and benzodioxane.

The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms may optionally be oxidized (i.e., N.fwdarw.O and S(O).sub.p, wherein p is 0, 1 or 2).
[0337] As referred to herein, the term substituted means that at least one hydrogen atom is replaced with a non-hydrogen group, provided that normal valencies are maintained and that the substitution results in a stable compound. When a substituent is keto (i.e., =O), then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Keto substituents are not present on aromatic moieties. When a ring system (e.g., carbocyclic or heterocyclic) is said to be substituted with a carbonyl group or a double bond, it is intended that the carbonyl group or double bond be part (i.e., within) of the ring. Ring double bonds, as used herein, are double bonds that are formed between two adjacent ring atoms (e.g., CC, CN, or NN).
[0338] In cases wherein there are nitrogen atoms (e.g., amines) on compounds of the present invention, these may be converted to N-oxides by treatment with an oxidizing agent (e.g., mCPBA and/or hydrogen peroxides) to afford other compounds of this invention. Thus, shown and claimed nitrogen atoms are considered to cover both the shown nitrogen and its N-oxide (N.fwdarw.0) derivative.
[0339] When any variable occurs more than one time in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-3 R groups, then said group may optionally be substituted with up to three R groups, and at each occurrence R is selected independently from the definition of R. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
[0340] When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any atom on the ring. When a substituent is listed without indicating the atom in which such substituent is bonded to the rest of the compound of a given formula, then such substituent may be bonded via any atom in such substituent. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
[0341] The invention includes all pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms of the compounds. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those in which the counter ions do not contribute significantly to the physiological activity or toxicity of the compounds and as such function as pharmacological equivalents. These salts can be made according to common organic techniques employing commercially available reagents. Some anionic salt forms include acetate, acistrate, besylate, bromide, chloride, citrate, fumarate, glucouronate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroiodide, iodide, lactate, malcate, mesylate, nitrate, pamoate, phosphate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, tosylate, and xinofoate.

Unless otherwise indicated, all chiral (enantiomeric and diastereomeric) and racemic forms are within the scope of the invention. Enantiomers and diastereomers are examples of stereoisomers. The term enantiomer refers to one of a pair of molecular species that are mirror images of each other and are not superimposable. The term diastereomer refers to stereoisomers that are not mirror images. The term racemate or racemic mixture refers to a composition composed of equimolar quantities of two enantiomeric species, wherein the composition is devoid of optical activity.
[0343] The term counterion is used to represent a negatively charged species such as chloride, bromide, hydroxide, acetate, and sulfate.
[0344] The invention includes all tautomeric forms of the compounds, atropisomers and rotational isomers.
[0345] All processes used to prepare compounds of the present invention and intermediates made therein are considered to be part of the present invention.
[0346] The symbols R and S represent the configuration of substituents around a chiral carbon atom(s). The isomeric descriptors R and S are used as described herein for indicating atom configuration(s) relative to a core molecule and are intended to be used as defined in the literature (IUPAC Recommendations 1996, Pure and Applied Chemistry, 68:2193-2222 (1996)).
[0347] The term chiral refers to the structural characteristic of a molecule that makes it impossible to superimpose it on its mirror image. The term homochiral refers to a state of enantiomeric purity. The term optical activity refers to the degree to which a homochiral molecule or nonracemic mixture of chiral molecules rotates a plane of polarized light.
[0348] The invention is intended to include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include deuterium and tritium. Isotopes of carbon include .sup.13C and .sup.14C. Isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed. Such compounds may have a variety of potential uses, for example as standards and reagents in determining biological activity. In the case of stable isotopes, such compounds may have the potential to favorably modify biological, pharmacological, or pharmacokinetic properties.
Biological Methods
[0349] RXFP1 Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) Assays. Human embryonic kidney cells 293 (HEK293) cells and HEK293 cells stably expressing human RXFP1, were cultured in MEM medium supplemented with 10% qualified FBS, and 300 ng/ml hygromycin (Life Technologies). Cells were dissociated and suspended in assay buffer. The assay buffer was HBSS buffer (with calcium and magnesium) containing 20 mM HEPES, 0.05% BSA, and 0.5 mM IBMX. Cells (3000 cells per well, except 1500 cell per well for HEK293 cells stably expressing human RXFP1) were added to 384-well Proxiplates (Perkin-Elmer). Cells were immediately treated with test compounds in DMSO (2% final) at final concentrations in the range of 0.010 nM to 50 M. Cells were incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The level of intracellular cAMP was determined using the HTRF HiRange cAMP assay reagent kit (Cisbio) according to manufacturer's instructions. Solutions of cryptate conjugated anti-cAMP and d2 fluorophore-labelled cAMP were made in a supplied lysis buffer separately. Upon completion of the reaction, the cells were lysed with equal volume of the d2-cAMP solution and anti-cAMP solution. After a 1 h room temperature incubation, time-resolved fluorescence intensity was measured using the Envision (Perkin-Elmer) at 400 nm excitation and dual emission at 590 nm and 665 nm. A calibration curve was constructed with an external cAMP standard at concentrations ranging from 2.7 M to 0.1 pM by plotting the fluorescent intensity ratio from 665 nm emission to the intensity from the 590 om emission against cAMP concentrations. The potency and activity of a compound to inhibit cAMP production was then determined by fitting to a 4-parametric logistic equation from a plot of cAMP level versus compound concentrations.
[0350] The examples disclosed below were tested in the human RXFP1 (hRXFP1) HEK293 cAMP assay described above and found to have agonist activity. Table 1 lists EC.sub.50 values in the hRXFP1 HEK293 cAMP assay measured for the examples.

[0367] Unless otherwise specified, the following terms have the stated meanings.
[0368] The term patient or subject refers to any human or non-human organism that could potentially benefit from treatment with a RXFP1 agonist as understood by practioners in this field. Exemplary subjects include human beings of any age with risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Common risk factors include, but are not limited to, age, sex, weight, family history, sleep apnea, alcohol or tobacco use, physical inactivity, arrhythmia, or signs of insulin resistance such as acanthosis nigricans, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
[0369] Treating or treatment cover the treatment of a disease-state as understood by practitioners in this field and include the following: (a) inhibiting the disease-state, i.e., arresting it development; (b) relieving the disease-state, i.e., causing regression of the disease state; and/or (c) preventing the disease-state from occurring in a mammal, in particular, when such mammal is predisposed to the disease-state but has not yet been diagnosed as having it.
[0370] Preventing or prevention cover the preventive treatment (i.e., prophylaxis and/or risk reduction) of a subclinical disease-state aimed at reducing the probability of the occurrence of a clinical disease-state as understood by practitioners in this field. Patients are selected for preventative therapy based on factors that are known to increase risk of suffering a clinical disease state compared to the general population. Prophylaxis therapies can be divided into (a) primary prevention and (b) secondary prevention. Primary prevention is defined as treatment in a subject that has not yet presented with a clinical disease state, whereas secondary prevention is defined as preventing a second occurrence of the same or similar clinical disease state. Risk reduction or reducing risk covers therapies that lower the incidence of development of a clinical disease state. As such, primary and secondary prevention therapies are examples of risk reduction.
[0371] Therapeutically effective amount is intended to include an amount of a compound of the present invention that is effective when administered alone or in combination with other agents to treat disorders as understood by practitioners in this field. When applied to a combination, the term refers to combined amounts of the active ingredients that result in the preventive or therapeutic effect, whether administered in combination, serially, or simultaneously.

[0376] The compounds of this invention can be administered by any suitable means, for example, orally, such as tablets, capsules (each of which includes sustained release or timed release formulations), pills, powders, granules, elixirs, tinctures, suspensions (including nanosuspensions, microsuspensions, spray-dried dispersions), syrups, and emulsions; sublingually; bucally; parenterally, such as by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, or intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions); nasally, including administration to the nasal membranes, such as by inhalation spray; topically, such as in the form of a cream or ointment; or rectally such as in the form of suppositories. They can be administered alone, but generally will be administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.
[0377] Pharmaceutical composition means a composition comprising a compound of the invention in combination with at least one additional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier refers to media generally accepted in the art for the delivery of biologically active agents to animals, in particular, mammals, including, i.e., adjuvant, excipient or vehicle, such as diluents, preserving agents, fillers, flow regulating agents, disintegrating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, perfuming agents, anti-bacterial agents, anti-fungal agents, lubricating agents and dispensing agents, depending on the nature of the mode of administration and dosage forms.
[0378] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are formulated according to a number of factors well within the purview of those of ordinary skill in the art. These include, without limitation: the type and nature of the active agent being formulated; the subject to which the agent-containing composition is to be administered; the intended route of administration of the composition; and the therapeutic indication being targeted. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include both aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media, as well as a variety of solid and semi-solid dosage forms. Such carriers can include a number of different ingredients and additives in addition to the active agent, such additional ingredients being included in the formulation for a variety of reasons, e.g., stabilization of the active agent, binders, etc., well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Descriptions of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and factors involved in their selection, are found in a variety of readily available sources such as, for example, Allen, L. V., Jr. et al., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (2 Volumes), 22nd Edition, Pharmaceutical Press (2012).
[0379] The dosage regimen for the compounds of the present invention will, of course, vary depending upon known factors, such as the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent and its mode and route of administration; the species, age, sex, health, medical condition, and weight of the recipient; the nature and extent of the symptoms; the kind of concurrent treatment; the frequency of treatment; the route of administration, the renal and hepatic function of the patient, and the effect desired.
[0380] By way of general guidance, the daily oral dosage of each active ingredient, when used for the indicated effects, will range between about 0.01 to about 5000 mg per day, preferably between about 0.1 to about 1000 mg per day, and most preferably between about 0.1 to about 250 mg per day. Intravenously, the most preferred doses will range from about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg/minute during a constant rate infusion. Compounds of this 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.
[0381] The compounds are typically administered in admixture with suitable pharmaceutical diluents, excipients, or carriers (collectively referred to herein as pharmaceutical carriers) suitably selected with respect to the intended form of administration, e.g., oral tablets, capsules, elixirs, and syrups, and consistent with conventional pharmaceutical practices.
[0382] Dosage forms (pharmaceutical compositions) suitable for administration may contain from about 1 milligram to about 2000 milligrams of active ingredient per dosage unit. In these pharmaceutical compositions the active ingredient will ordinarily be present in an amount of about 0.1-95% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. A typical capsule for oral administration contains at least one of the compounds of the present invention (250 mg), lactose (75 mg), and magnesium stearate (15 mg). The mixture is passed through a 60 mesh sieve and packed into a No. 1 gelatin capsule. A typical injectable preparation is produced by aseptically placing at least one of the compounds of the present invention (250 mg) into a vial, aseptically freeze-drying and sealing. For use, the contents of the vial are mixed with 2 mL of physiological saline, to produce an injectable preparation.
[0383] The compounds may be employed in combination with other suitable therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of diseases or disorders including: anti-atherosclerotic agents, anti-dyslipidemic agents, anti-diabetic agents, anti-hyperglycemic agents, anti-hyperinsulinemic agents, anti-thrombotic agents, anti-retinopathic agents, anti-neuropathic agents, anti-nephropathic agents, anti-ischemic agents, anti-hypertensive agents, anti-obesity agents, anti-hyperlipidemic agents, anti-hypertriglyceridemic agents, anti-hypercholesterolemic agents, anti-restenotic agents, anti-pancreatic agents, lipid lowering agents, anorectic agents, memory enhancing agents, anti-dementia agents, cognition promoting agents, appetite suppressants, agents for treating heart failure, agents for treating peripheral arterial disease, agents for treating malignant tumors, and anti-inflammatory agents.
[0384] The additional therapeutic agents may include ACE inhibitors, -blockers, diuretics, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, ryanodine receptor modulators, SERCA2a activators, renin inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, adenosine A1 receptor agonists, partial adenosine A1 receptor, dopamine -hydroxylase inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, angiotensin II receptor antagonists with biased agonism for select cell signaling pathways, combinations of angiotensin II receptor antagonists and neprilysin enzyme inhibitors, neprilysin enzyme inhibitors, soluble guanylate cyclase activators, myosin ATPase activators, rho-kinase 1 inhibitors, rho-kinase 2 inhibitors, apelin receptor agonists, nitroxyl donating compounds, calcium-dependent kinase II inhibitors, antifibrotic agents, galectin-3 inhibitors, vasopressin receptor antagonists, FPR2 receptor modulators, natriuretic peptide receptor agonists, transient receptor potential vanilloid-4 channel blockers, anti-arrhythmic agents, I.sub.f funny current channel blockers, nitrates, digitalis compounds, inotropic agents and -receptor agonists, cell membrane rescaling agents for example Poloxamer 188, anti-hyperlipidemic agents, plasma HDL-raising agents, anti-hypercholesterolemic agents, cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitors (such as HMG CoA reductase inhibitors), LXR agonist, FXR agonist, probucol, raloxifene, nicotinic acid, niacinamide, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, bile acid sequestrants, anion exchange resins, quaternary amines, cholestyramine, colestipol, low density lipoprotein receptor inducers, clofibrate, fenofibrate, bezafibrate, ciprofibrate, gemfibrizol, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, anti-oxidant vitamins, anti-diabetes agents, platelet aggregation inhibitors, fibrinogen receptor antagonists, aspirin and fibric acid derivatives, PCSK9 inhibitors, aspirin, and P2Y12 Inhibitors such as Clopidogrel.
[0385] The additional therapeutic agents may also include nintedanib, Pirfenidone, LPA1 antagonists, LPA1 receptor antagonists, GLP1 analogs, tralokinumab (IL-13, AstraZeneca), vismodegib (hedgehog antagonist, Roche), PRM-151 (pentraxin-2, TGF beta-1, Promedior), SAR-156597 (bispecific Mab IL-4&IL-13, Sanofi), simtuzumab ((anti-lysyl oxidase-like 2 (anti-LOXL2) antibody, Gilead), CKD-942, PTL-202 (PDE inh./pentoxifylline/NAC oral control. release, Pacific Ther.), omipalisib (oral PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, GSK), IW-001 (oral sol. bovine type V collagen mod., Immune Works), STX-100 (integrin alpha V/beta-6 ant, Stromedix/Biogen), Actimmune (IFN gamma), PC-SOD (midismase; inhaled, LTT Bio-Pharma/CKD Pharm), lebrikizumab (anti-IL-13 SC humanized mAb, Roche), AQX-1125 (SHIP1 activator, Aquinox), CC-539 (JNK inhibitor, Celgene), FG-3019 (FibroGen), SAR-100842 (Sanofi), and obeticholic acid (OCA or INT-747, Intercept).
[0386] The above other therapeutic agents, when employed in combination with the compounds of the present invention may be used, for example, in those amounts indicated in the Physicians' Desk Reference, as in the patents set out above, or as otherwise determined by practitioners in the art.
[0387] Particularly when provided as a single dosage unit, the potential exists for a chemical interaction between the combined active ingredients. For this reason, when the compound of the present invention and a second therapeutic agent are combined in a single dosage unit they are formulated such that although the active ingredients are combined in a single dosage unit, the physical contact between the active ingredients is minimized (that is, reduced). For example, one active ingredient may be enteric coated. By enteric coating one of the active ingredients, it is possible not only to minimize the contact between the combined active ingredients, but also, it is possible to control the release of one of these components in the gastrointestinal tract such that one of these components is not released in the stomach but rather is released in the intestines. One of the active ingredients may also be coated with a material that affects a sustained-release throughout the gastrointestinal tract and also serves to minimize physical contact between the combined active ingredients. Furthermore, the sustained-released component can be additionally enteric coated such that the release of this component occurs only in the intestine. Still another approach would involve the formulation of a combination product in which the one component is coated with a sustained and/or enteric release polymer, and the other component is also coated with a polymer such as a low viscosity grade of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or other appropriate materials as known in the art, in order to further separate the active components. The polymer coating serves to form an additional barrier to interaction with the other component.
[0388] The compounds of the present invention are also useful as standard or reference compounds, for example as a quality standard or control, in tests or assays involving RXFP1. Such compounds may be provided in a commercial kit, for example, for use in pharmaceutical research involving RXFP1. For example, a compound of the present invention could be used as a reference in an assay to compare its known activity to a compound with an unknown activity. This would ensure the experimenter that the assay was being performed properly and provide a basis for comparison, especially if the test compound was a derivative of the reference compound. When developing new assays or protocols, compounds according to the present invention could be used to test their effectiveness. The compounds of the present invention may also be used in diagnostic assays involving RXFP1.
[0389] The present invention also encompasses an article of manufacture. As used herein, article of manufacture is intended to include, but not be limited to, kits and packages. The article of manufacture of the present invention, comprises: (a) a first container; (b) a pharmaceutical composition located within the first container, wherein the composition, comprises a first therapeutic agent, comprising a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form thereof; and, (c) a package insert stating that the pharmaceutical composition can be used for the treatment of dyslipidemias and the sequelae thereof. In another embodiment, the package insert states that the pharmaceutical composition can be used in combination (as defined previously) with a second therapeutic agent for the treatment of dyslipidemias and the sequelae thereof. The article of manufacture can further comprise: (d) a second container, wherein components (a) and (b) are located within the second container and component (c) is located within or outside of the second container. Located within the first and second containers means that the respective container holds the item within its boundaries.
[0390] The first container is a receptacle used to hold a pharmaceutical composition. This container can be for manufacturing, storing, shipping, and/or individual/bulk selling. First container is intended to cover a bottle, jar, vial, flask, syringe, tube (e.g., for a cream preparation), or any other container used to manufacture, hold, store, or distribute a pharmaceutical product.
[0391] The second container is one used to hold the first container and, optionally, the package insert. Examples of the second container include, but are not limited to, boxes (e.g., cardboard or plastic), crates, cartons, bags (e.g., paper or plastic bags), pouches, and sacks. The package insert can be physically attached to the outside of the first container via tape, glue, staple, or another method of attachment, or it can rest inside the second container without any physical means of attachment to the first container. Alternatively, the package insert is located on the outside of the second container. When located on the outside of the second container, it is preferable that the package insert is physically attached via tape, glue, staple, or another method of attachment. Alternatively, it can be adjacent to or touching the outside of the second container without being physically attached.
[0392] The package insert is a label, tag, marker, etc. that recites information relating to the pharmaceutical composition located within the first container. The information recited will usually be determined by the regulatory agency governing the area in which the article of manufacture is to be sold (e.g., the United States Food and Drug Administration). Preferably, the package insert specifically recites the indications for which the pharmaceutical composition has been approved. The package insert may be made of any material on which a person can read information contained therein or thereon. Preferably, the package insert is a printable material (e.g., paper, plastic, cardboard, foil, adhesive-backed paper or plastic, etc.) on which the desired information has been formed (e.g., printed or applied).

##STR00031##
[0495] Scheme VII illustrates an example method for the further functionalization of benzoic acids VI-1 for incorporation onto the norbornyl scaffold according to Scheme VI. Starting from benzyl bromide VII-1, a nucleophilic substitution using K.sub.2CO.sub.3 and a variety of nucleophiles VII-2 (NuH=alcohols, primary and secondary amines, etc.) led to formation of benzoate VII-3. Conversion of this ester to the benzoic acid of the general structure VII-4 was accomplished using standard conditions depending on the nature of R (e.g., R=Me, Et, saponification with LiOH/water; R=tBu, TFA mediated ester cleavage, R=CH.sub.2CCl.sub.3, treatment with Zn/AcOH, etc.).
##STR00032##
[0496] Scheme VIII outlines another method for the further functionalization of benzoic acids VI-1 for incorporation onto the norbornyl scaffold according to Scheme 6. Starting from bromobenzene VIII-1, performing a Suzuki reaction with a vinyl boronate VIII-2, Pd-catalyst, and base led to formation of benzoate VIII-3. Alternatively, VIII-3 could be prepared by reversing the components in the Suzuki reaction by using boronic acids of the general structure VIII-4 and vinyl halides of the general structure VIII-5. The resulting benzoate VIII-3 could be cleaved to the benzoic acid VIII-6. Alternatively, the olefin VIII-3 could be further manipulated (e.g., reduction with Pd/C, H.sub.2; or cyclopropanoated with a diazoester and Rh.sub.2(OAc).sub.4, etc.), followed by ester hydrolysis to furnish benzoic acids (e.g, VIII-7 or VIII-8 among others).
##STR00033##
[0497] Alternatively, Scheme IX shows a strategy for the Pd-mediated coupling of intermediate VIII-1 to a variety of alkynes IX-1. The resulting esters IX-2 could be leaved directly to benzoic acids IX-3, or further elaborated for instance by reduction of the alkyne followed by ester cleavage to benzoic acids IX-4 (among other elaboration strategies).
##STR00034##
[0498] Scheme X illustrates a method for the production of benzoic acids VI-1 for incorporation onto the norbornyl scaffold according to Scheme VI. Aldehyde X-1 was subjected to a Homer-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination to furnish enoate X-2. Deprotection of the t-butyl ester (TFA/DCM), followed by amide formation (e.g., HATU, Hunig's base) furnished enamides X-3 which could be saponified to acids X-4. Alternatively, X-3 could be reduced (e.g., Pd/C, H.sub.2) to furnish X-5, which upon saponification yielded benzoic acids X-6.

[0738] It will be evident to one skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the foregoing illustrative examples, and that it can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the essential attributes thereof. It is therefore desired that the examples be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing examples, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
