Abstract

The present invention provides compounds of Formula (I) and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are inhibitors of the ROMK (Kir1.1) channel. The compounds may be used as diuretic and/or natriuretic agents and for the therapy and prophylaxis of medical conditions including cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, heart failure and chronic kidney disease and conditions associated with excessive salt and water retention.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A compound having structural Formula I:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein:
Z is

X is C(R 4 );
R 1 is —H, halo, —OH, or —OC 1-3 alkyl;
R 2 is —H, ═O, —OH, —C 1-3 alkyl or —OC 1-3 alkyl;
R 3a is —H, —C 3-4 cycloalkyl or —C 1-3 alkyl optionally substituted with —OCH 3 or 1 to 3 of —F;
R 3b is —H or —C 1-3 alkyl, or R 3b is absent when the dashed bond is a double bond;
or R 3a and R 3b are joined together with the carbon to which they are both attached to form cyclopropyl or cyclobutyl;
R 4 is —H, halo, —CN, —C 3-6 cycloalkyl, —C(O)OC 1-4 alkyl, —OC 1-4 alkyl, or —C 1-4 alkyl optionally substituted with OH or 1-3 of —F;
R 5 is —H, halo, or —C 1-3 alkyl optionally substituted with —O—C 1-3 alkyl;
R 6 is —H or —C 1-3 alkyl;
R 7 is —H or —C 1-3 alkyl optionally substituted with —OH, —OCH 3 or 1 to 3 of —F, or R 7 is absent when n is zero;
R 8 is —H or —C 1-3 alkyl, or R 8 is absent when n is zero;
or R 7 and R 8 are joined together with the carbon to which they are both attached to form cyclopropyl or cyclobutyl;
R 9 is —H, halo, —OH, —C 1-3 alkyl, —OC 1-3 alkyl or —CH 2 OH;

R 12 and R 13 are each independently —H, halo, —CN, —C 3-6 cycloalkyl, —C(O)OC 1-4 alkyl, —OC 1-4 alkyl, or C 1-4 alkyl optionally substituted with —OH or 1-3 of —F;
m is zero where R 3b is absent, or one where R 3b is present;
the partially dashed double bond (“ ”) represents a single or double bond wherein:
(i) when m is one, then the dashed bond is a single bond; and
(ii) when m is zero and R 2 is not ═O, then the dashed bond is a double bond; and

n is zero or one.
