Abstract

Provided herein are alpha2-selective Na,K-ATPase inhibitors and prodrugs thereof, characterized by having a cyclic moiety attached to a digoxin or digitoxin derivative, as well as uses thereof in lowering intraocular pressure and in treating glaucoma and heart conditions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A compound represented by general Formula I:

including any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, enantiomer and diastereomer thereof, and any mixtures thereof,
wherein:
X is H or OH;
R is represented by general Formula II:

A is —CH 2 —, —(CH 2 ) 2 — or a covalent bond; and
B is a cyclic moiety selected from the group consisting of an unsubstituted alicyclic moiety, a substituted alicyclic moiety, an unsubstituted heterocyclic moiety, a substituted heterocyclic moiety, an unsubstituted heteroaryl moiety and a substituted heteroaryl moiety;
or
B is selected from the group consisting of an alkylsulfonyl, an arylsulfonyl and a sulfonamide;
or
B is —N 1 R 2 , wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently H or a C 1 -C 4 alkyl provided that at least one of R 1 and R 2 is a C 1 -C 4 alkyl.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein A is selected from the group consisting of a covalent bond, an unsubstituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, a substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl, an unsubstituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl interrupted by one or more heteroatom and a substituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl interrupted by one or more heteroatom.

3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said unsubstituted alicyclic moiety is selected from the group consisting of cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl.

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said unsubstituted heteroaryl moiety is imidazolyl.

5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said alkylsulfonyl is selected from the group consisting of methylsulfonyl, ethylsulfonyl and isopropylsulfonyl.

6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said arylsulfonyl is selected from the group consisting of phenylsulfonyl, benzylsulfonyl and tosyl.

7. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said sulfonamide is selected from the group consisting of methylsulfonamide, N-methylmethanesulfonamide and N,N-dimethylmethanesulfonamide.

8. The compound of claim 1 , wherein B is —N(Et) 2 .

9. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R is selected from the group consisting of cyclopropyl, methylcyclopropane, ethylcyclopropane, propylcyclopropane, cyclobutyl, methylcyclobutane, methyl-3,3-dimethylcyclobutane, ethylcyclobutane, propylcyclobutane, cyclopentyl, methylcyclopentane, ethylcyclopentane, propylcyclopentane, cyclohexyl, azetidinyl, oxetanyl, thietanyl, histaminyl and benzyl.

10. The compound of claim 1 , having an affinity to at least one isoform of Na,K-ATPase, wherein said isoform is selected from the group consisting of α1β1, α1β2, α1β3, α2β1, α2β2, α2β3, α3β1, α3β2, α3β3, α4β1, α4β2 and α4β3.

11. The compound of claim 10 , wherein said affinity to any one of α2β1, α2β2 and α2β3 is higher than the affinity to α1β1, α1β2, α1β3, α3β1, α3β2, α3β3, α4β1, α4β2 and α4β3 by at least 100%.

12. A pharmaceutical composition comprising as an active ingredient a compound of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

13. A method of reducing intraocular pressure (TOP) in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of claim 1 .

14. A method of treating a heart condition in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of claim 1 .

15. A pharmaceutical composition comprising as active ingredients:
at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of a prostaglandin analog, a β-blocker, an adrenergic agent, an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, a miotic agent, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and a cholinergic agonist; and
a compound represented by Formula III:

including any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, enantiomer and diastereomer thereof, and any mixtures thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,
wherein:
X is H or OH;
R′ is represented by general Formula II:

A is —CH 2 —, —(CH 2 ) 2 — or a covalent bond; and
B is a cyclic moiety selected from the group consisting of an unsubstituted alicyclic moiety, a substituted alicyclic moiety, an unsubstituted heterocyclic moiety, a substituted heterocyclic moiety, an unsubstituted heteroaryl moiety and a substituted heteroaryl moiety, or B is selected from the group consisting of an alkylsulfonyl, an arylsulfonyl and a sulfonamide, or B is —N 1 R 2 , wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently H or a C 1 -C 4 alkyl provided that at least one of R 1 and R 2 is a C 1 -C 4 alkyl, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

16. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 15 , being packaged in a packaging material and identified in print, or on said packaging material, for use in reducing intraocular pressure (TOP).

17. A method of treating a heart condition in a subject in need thereof, comprising co-administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of:
an agent selected from the group consisting of a β-blocker, an anticoagulation agent, an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor and an angiotensin II receptor antagonist; and
a compound represented by Formula III:

including any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, enantiomer and diastereomer thereof, and any mixtures thereof,
wherein:
X is H or OH;
R′ is represented by general Formula II:

A is a spacer moiety or a covalent bond; and
B is a cyclic moiety, or B is selected from the group consisting of an alkylsulfonyl, an arylsulfonyl and a sulfonamide, or B is —N 1 R 2 , wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently H or a C 1 -C 4 alkyl provided that at least one of R 1 and R 2 is a C 1 -C 4 alkyl.
