Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of treatment for chronic pain, opioid dependence, alcohol use disorder or autism using a class of pyrimidinone compounds, an adenylyl cyclase 1 (AC1) inhibitor. The invention described herein also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating diseases in mammals using those compounds disclosed herein.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for treatment of pain, opioid dependence, alcohol use disorder, or autism comprising the step of administering to a mammal in need of relief from pain or opioid dependence thereof a therapeutically effective amount of one or more compounds of formula (I)

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more carriers, diluents, or excipients, wherein
R 1 is hydrogen, or a lower alkyl;
R 2 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, or cycloalkyl;
R 3 is hydrogen, or a lower alkyl;
R 4 is hydrogen, or a lower alkyl;
or R 3 and R 4 are taken together with the attached carbons to form an optionally substituted cycle or heterocycle;
and
R 5 is an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein R 1 is hydrogen, a C 1 -C 12 alkyl, or an optionally substituted C 3 -C 12 cycloalkyl.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein R 2 is hydrogen, a C 1 -C 12 alkyl, or an optionally substituted C 3 -C 12 cycloalkyl.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein R 1 and R 2 together with the attached carbons are linked to form an optionally substituted cycle.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 is a C 1 -C 12 alkyl.

6. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 5 is an optionally substituted C 4 -C 12 heteroaryl or aryl.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said pain is chronic pain.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein treating pain or opioid dependence further comprises administering the compound of formula I in combination with an opioid drug, wherein the compound of Formula I enhances μ-opioid receptor inhibition of adenylyl cyclase 1.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the opioid drug is selected from the group consisting of codeine, morphine, thebaine, oripavine, diacetylmorphine, nicomorphine, dipropanoylmorphine, diacetyldihydromorphine, acetylpropionylmorphine, desomorphine, methyldesorphine, dibenzoylmorphine, dihydrocodeine, ethylmorphine, heterocodeine, buprenorphine, etorphine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxycodone, oxymorphone, fentanyl, alphamethylfentanyl, alfentanil, sufentanil, remifentanil, carfentanyl, ohmefentanyl, pethidine (meperidine), ketobemidone, desmethylprodine (MPPP), allylprodine, prodine, phenethylphenylacetoxypiperidine (PEPAP), promedol, propoxyphene, dextropropoxyphene, dextromoramide, bezitramide, piritramide, methadone, dipipanone, levomethadyl acetate (LAAM), difenoxin, diphenoxylate, loperamide, dezocine, pentazocine, phenazocine, buprenorphine, dihydroetorphine, etorphine, butorphanol, nalbuphine, levorphanol, levomethorphan, lefetamine, menthol, meptazinol, mitragynine, tilidine, tramadol, tapentadol, eluxadoline, nalmefene, naloxone, and naltrexone.
