Abstract

The present invention includes compounds having structural formula (Ia):

or salts or solvates thereof. These compounds are useful as sweet flavor modifiers. The present invention also includes compositions comprising the present compounds and methods of modulating the sweet taste of compositions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An ingestible composition comprising a compound having structural Formula (Ia):

or a salt or solvate thereof;
wherein
m is 4, and n is 0; or m is 3, and n is 1; or m and n are both 2;
q is 0, 1, 2, or 3;
X is a covalent bond;
Y is alkyl, substituted alkyl, carbocyclyl, substituted carbocyclyl, heterocyclyl, substituted heterocyclyl, aryl, substituted aryl, heteroaryl, substituted heteroaryl, aralkyl, substituted aralkyl, heteroarylalkyl, or substituted heteroarylalkyl; and
each R 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, halo, hydroxyl, alkoxy, and haloalkyl,
wherein the substituents of a moiety indicated as substituted are selected from the group consisting of —R a , halo, ═O, —OR b , —SR b , ═S, —NR c R c , ═NR b , ═N—OR b , trihalomethyl, —CF 3 , —CN, —OCN, —SCN, —NO, —NO 2 , ═N 2 , —N 3 , —S(O) 2 R b , —S(O) 2 OR b , —OS(O) 2 R b , —OS(O) 2 OR b , —P(O)(OR b )(OR b ), —C(O)R b , —C(S)R b , —C(NR b )R b , —C(O)OR b , —C(S)OR b , —C(O)NR c R c , —C(NR b )NR c R c , —OC(O)R b , —OC(S)R b , —OC(O)OR b , —OC(S)OR b , —NR b C(O)R b , —NR b C(S)R b , —NR b C(O)OR b , —NR b C(S)OR b , —NR b C(O)NR c R c , —NR b C(NR b )R b and —NR b C(NR b )NR c R c , where R a is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloheteroalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, heteroaryl and heteroarylalkyl; each R b is independently hydrogen or R a ; and each R c is independently R b or alternatively, the two R c s may be taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded form a 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered cycloheteroalkyl which may optionally include from 1 to 4 of the same or different additional heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O (oxygen), N (nitrogen) and S (sulfur); and
an ingestibly acceptable excipient.

2. The ingestible composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound is represented by structural Formula (Ib):

or a salt or solvate thereof;
wherein,
Y is alkyl, substituted alkyl, carbocyclyl, substituted carbocyclyl, heterocyclyl, substituted heterocyclyl, aryl, substituted aryl, heteroaryl, substituted heteroaryl, aralkyl, substituted aralkyl, heteroarylalkyl, or substituted heteroarylalkyl.

3. The ingestible composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound is represented by structural Formula (Id):

wherein,
Y is alkyl, substituted alkyl, carbocyclyl, substituted carbocyclyl, heterocyclyl, substituted heterocyclyl, aryl, substituted aryl, heteroaryl, substituted heteroaryl, aralkyl, substituted aralkyl, heteroarylalkyl, or substituted heteroarylalkyl.

4. The ingestible composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a salt or solvate thereof.

5. The ingestible composition of claim 4 , wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a salt or solvate thereof.

6. The ingestible composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a salt or solvate thereof.

7. The ingestible composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a salt or solvate thereof.

8. An ingestible composition comprising a compound having structural Formula (Ia):

or a salt or solvate thereof;
wherein
m is 4, and n is 0; or m is 3, and n is 1; or m and n are both 2;
q is 0, 1, 2, or 3;
X is a covalent bond or —NR 1 —;
R 1 is hydrogen or C1 to C6 alkyl;
Y is carbocyclyl, substituted carbocyclyl, heterocyclyl, substituted heterocyclyl, aryl, substituted aryl, heteroaryl, substituted heteroaryl, aralkyl, substituted aralkyl, heteroarylalkyl, or substituted heteroarylalkyl; and
each R 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, halo, hydroxyl, alkoxy, and haloalkyl,
wherein the substituents of a moiety indicated as substituted are selected from the group consisting of —R a , halo, ═O, —OR b , —SR b , ═S, —NR c R c , ═NR b , ═N—OR b , trihalomethyl, —CF 3 , —CN, —OCN, —SCN, —NO, —NO 2 , ═N 2 , —N 3 , —S(O) 2 R b , —S(O) 2 OR b , —OS(O) 2 R b , —OS(O) 2 OR b , —P(O)(OR b )(OR b ), —C(O)R b , —C(S)R b , —C(NR b )R b , —C(O)OR b , —C(S)OR b , —C(O)NR c R c , —C(NR b )NR c R c , —OC(O)R b , —OC(S)R b , —OC(O)OR b , —OC(S)OR b , —NR b C(O)R b , —NR b C(S)R b , —NR b C(O)OR b , —NR b C(S)OR b , —NR b C(O)NR c R c , —NR b C(NR b )R b and —NR b C(NR b )NR c R c , where R a is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloheteroalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, heteroaryl and heteroarylalkyl; each R b is independently hydrogen or R a ; and each R c is independently R b or alternatively, the two R c s may be taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded form a 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered cycloheteroalkyl which may optionally include from 1 to 4 of the same or different additional heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O (oxygen), N (nitrogen) and S (sulfur); and
