Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel ion channel modulating agents. More particularly, the present invention relates to a particular class of chemical compounds that has proven useful as modulators of SK Ca , IK Ca and BK Ca channels. In further aspects, the present invention relates to the use of these SK/IK/BK channel modulating agents for the manufacture of medicaments, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the SK/IK/BK channel modulating agents.
  • the SK/IK/BK channel modulating agents of the invention are useful for the treatment or alleviation of diseases and conditions associated with the SK/IK/BK channels.
  • Ion channels are transmembrane proteins, which catalyse the transport of inorganic ions across cell membranes.
  • the ion channels participate in processes as diverse as the generation and timing of action potentials, synaptic transmissions, secretion of hormones, contraction of muscles, etc.
  • anti-epileptic compounds like Phenytoin and Lamotrigine, which block voltage dependent Na + -channels in the brain
  • anti-hypertensive drugs like Nifedipine and Diltiazem
  • stimulators of insulin release like Glibenciamide and Tolbutamide, which block an ATP-regulated K + -channel in the pancreas.
  • K + potassium channels
  • nerve and muscle cells they regulate the frequency and form of the action potential, the release of neurotransmitters, and the degree of broncho- and vasodilation.
  • the K + channels represent the largest and most diverse group of ion channels. For an overview they can be divided into five large subfamilies: Voltage-activated K + channels (K v ), long QT related K + channels (KvLQT), inward rectifiers (K IR ), two-pore K + channels (K TP ), and calcium-activated K + channels (K ca ).
  • the latter group the Ca 2+ -activated K + channels, consists of three well-defined subtypes: SK channels, IK channels and BK channels.
  • SK, IK and BK refer to the single-channel conductance (Small, Intermediate and Big conductance K channel).
  • the SK, IK, and BK channels exhibit differences in e.g. voltage- and calcium-sensitivity, pharmacology, distribution and function.
  • Ca 2+ -activated SK channels are present in many central neurons and ganglia, where their primary function is to hyperpolarize nerve cells following one or several action potentials to prevent long trains of epileptogenic activity to occur.
  • the SK channels are also present in several peripheral cells including skeletal muscle, gland cells, liver cells, and T-lymphocytes.
  • the Ca 2+ -activated IK channel shares a number of characteristics with the Ca 2+ -activated SK channel, since it is highly K-selective, is activated by sub-micromolar concentrations of Ca 2+ , and has an inwardly rectifying conductance. However, there are also striking differences.
  • the unit conductance of the IK channel is 4-5 fold higher than that of the SK channel, and the distribution of the IK channel is restricted to the blood and vasculature. Thus, the IK channel is not expressed in the nervous system and in muscle, but in endothelial cells, cells of epithelial origin and in red blood cells.
  • IK channels have also been implicated in the microvasculature of the kidney, where they may be responsible for the vasodilatory effects of bradykinin.
  • the decrease in blood pressure during septic shock is caused by an increased NO production by the endothelial cells, and the IK channels in these cells are responsible for maintaining the Ca influx activating the Ca 2+ -sensitive NO-synthase.
  • IK channels activated by endothelin that is produced by neurons and glia, shunt excess K + into the blood.
  • Neurotrophilic granulocytes i.e. mobile phagocytic cells that defend the body against microbial invaders, undergo large depolarisation subsequent to agonistic stimulation, and IK channels have been implicated in depolarising the stimulated granulocyte.
  • the Ca 2+ -activated BK channels present in many cells including most central and peripheral nerve cells, striated muscle cells, cardiac cells, smooth muscle cells of the airways, the vasculature, the gastrointestinal tract and bladder, in endo- and exocrine glands including pancreatic b-cells and in kidney tubules.

  • folinic acid Ganciclovir
  • antilymphocyte immunoglobulins normal immunoglobulin
  • Conditions which may benefit from this treatment include, but are not limited to diseases, disorders or conditions such as auto-immune diseases, e.g. Addison's disease, alopecia areata, Ankylosing spondylitis, haemolytic anemia (anemia haemolytica), pernicious anemia (anemia perniciosa), aphthae, aphthous stomatitis, arthritis, arteriosclerotic disorders, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, aspermiogenese, asthma bronchiale, auto-immune asthma, auto-immune hemolysis, Bechet's disease, Boeck's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, Burkitt's lymphoma, Chron's disease, chorioiditis, colitis ulcerosa, Coeliac disease, cryoglobulinemia, dermatitis herpetiformis, dermatomyositis, insulin-dependent
  • suitable dosage ranges are 0.1 to 1000 milligrams daily, 10-500 milligrams daily, and especially 30-100 milligrams daily, dependent as usual upon the exact mode of administration, form in which administered, the indication toward which the administration is directed, the subject involved and the body weight of the subject involved, and further the preference and experience of the physician or veterinarian in charge.
  • IK channels Intermediate-conductance Ca 2+ -activated K + channels
  • the lipofection mixture was overlaid on the cells and incubated at 37° C. for 5 hours. The cells were then rinsed with regular media and grown for 72 hours in DMEM, 10% FCS at 37° C. in 5% CO 2 . 72 hours post transfection, cells transfected with pNS1Z_hIK were selected in media supplemented with 0.25 mg/ml Zeocin. Single clones were picked and propagated in selection media until sufficient cells for freezing were available. Hereafter the cells were cultured in regular medium without selection agent. Expression of functional hIK channels was verified by patch-clamp measurements.
  • the free concentration of Mg 2+ is calculated to be 1 mM.
  • Test compounds are usually dissolved as 1000 times concentrated stock solutions in DMSO and then diluted in the extracellular solution.
  • Active compounds are quantified by calculating the change in baseline current.
  • the baseline current is set to 100 and a value of 50 indicates that the compound has reduced the baseline current to half its value (i.e. blockers will have values between 0 and 99 with lowest values for the strongest blokers).
  • Activators will have values greater than 100 and a value of 200 indicates a doubling of the baseline current.
  • Finally a value of 100 indicates that the compound does not influence the hIK current.
