Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Class III antiarrhythmic agents may be categorized as having the ability to markedly prolong cardiac action potential duration without producing significant changes in maximal upstroke velocity. Unlike Class I antiarrhythmic agents, a pure Class III agent displays no effect on cardiac sodium channels. The electrophysiologic properties of a compound defining a Class III activity profile are observed in vivo as negligible effects on atrial, ventricular and H-V conduction times while producing a marked increase (greater than 20 percent) in both the atrial and ventricular refractory period. In contrast, Class I agents will demonstrate a marked slowing of ventricular conduction velocity, often without significant changes in the refractory period. Recent reviews of these agents are: Bexton et al.; Pharmac. Ther. 17, 315-55 (1982); Vaughan-Williams, J. Clin. Pharmacol. 24, 129-47 (1984); Steinberg et al., Ann. Rep. Med. Chem. 21, 95-108 (1986) and Colatsky and Follmer, Drug Development Research 19; 129-140 (1990).
Buzby et al. recently disclosed 4-methylsulfonamido-N-[2-[(1-methylethyl)amino]ethyl]benzenesulfonamide as a potential Class III antiarrhythmic agent in U.S. Pat. No. 4,721,809, Jan. 26, 1988.
Davey et al. disclosed N-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl-4-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzamide as a potential Class III antiarrhythmic agent in U.S. Pat. No. 4,544,654, Oct. 1, 1985.
Winkley et al. disclosed N-[4-[(2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-[1,3,6]triazocino[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4-(1H)-yl)s ulfonyl]phenyl]methanesulfonamide as a potential Class III antiarrhythmic agent in U.S. Pat. No. 4,882,323, Nov. 21, 1989.
The compounds of the present invention differ from those disclosed by Buzby et al. and Davey et al. by the presence of a nitrogen containing heterocycle (R.sup.4 in general formula (I) below). They differ from the compounds disclosed by Winkley et al. in that they lack a triazocino group.

PHARMACOLOGICAL METHODS
Cardiac Electrophysiology
The compounds of this invention display a Class III antiarrhythmic profile. The class III antiarrhythmic activity was established in vitro and in vivo in accordance with the following standard test procedures:
In Vitro
Bundles of free-running Purkinje fibers with attached myocardium obtained from either ventricle of adult dog heart were pinned without stretching to the bottom of a 10 mL tissue chamber and continuously superfused with oxygenated Tyrode's solution at a flow rate of 5 mL/min. The composition of the Tyrode's solution was (mM): NaCl, 138; KCl, 4; CaCl.sub.2, 2; MgCl.sub.2, 0.5; NaHCO.sub.3, 24; dextrose, 5.5. The solution was aerated with 95% O.sub.2 /5% CO.sub.2 at 37.degree. C. The bath temperature was maintained at 37.degree..+-.0.5.degree. C. by circulating the prewarmed superfusate through a thermostatically controlled water bath immediately prior to entering the tissue chamber.
The preparations were stimulated through bipolar Teflon-coated silver wires, bared at the tips, placed on the endocardial surface of the attached myocardium, using a digital stimulator set to deliver constant current pulses 1.5 msec. in duration at cycle lengths of 300 or 1000 msec. Stimulus strength was set at approximately 2.times.diastolic threshold, and adjusted as required throughout the experiment. All preparations were allowed to equilibrate in the tissue chamber for at least 1 hour before measurements were begun. Subsequently, a minimum of 60 minutes were allowed for equilibration with each drug-containing superfusate before post-drug measurements were made. Impalements were made at 6 to 10 sites throughout the preparation before and after drug exposure. Offset potentials were rechecked after each impalement.
Glass microelectrodes filled with 3M KCl were coupled to high impedance negative capacitance electrometers and Ag/AgCl half-cells used as reference electrodes. The first derivative of the action potential upstroke (V.sub.max) was obtained using an analog differentiator circuit, coupled to a peak-hold circuit that retained the recorded value of V.sub.max for 30 to 70 msec. Action potential and V.sub.max tracings were displayed on a storage oscilloscope, and photographed for later analysis. In addition, chart paper recordings of V.sub.max were obtained using the peak-hold device output.
Fresh stock solutions of drug were prepared for each experiment. Compounds were dissolved in distilled water at total concentrations of 1 to 10 mg/mL, and subsequently diluted to a final concentration of 3 to 10 .mu.M in appropriate volumes of normal Tyrode's solution for evaluation.
Action potential (AP) parameters measured included: diastolic take-off potential (or activation voltage (V.sub.act); AP overshoot (V.sub.os); AP duration measured as the time taken to repolarize to -20 mV (APD.sub.-20), -60 mV (APD.sub.-60), and -80 mV (APD.sub.-80); and maximal upstroke velocity (V.sub.max). An increase in APD.sub.-60 that occurred without a significant change in V.sub.max was taken, by definition, to indicate Class III antiarrhythmic activity "in vitro".
In Vivo
Mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 12 to 18 kg were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (35 mg/kg i.v. supplemented with 5 mg/kg/h) and artificially ventilated with room air (minute volume: 200 mL/kg).
The heart was exposed by a right thoracotomy performed at the fifth intercostal space and suspended in a pericardial cradle. Epicardial electrodes for stimulation and recording were sutured to the free wall of the lower right atrium and near the base of the right ventricle. Each electrode set contained a linear array of electrodes consisting of 1 bipolar stimulating electrode and 2 bipolar recording electrodes embedded in a rigid acrylic matrix. The stimulating bipole was 7 mm from the proximal recording electrode, which in turn was 10 mm from the distal recording bipole. Each electrode array was oriented to be parallel to the epicardial fiber axis.
Arterial blood pressure and lead ECG were displayed on a chart recorder and monitored on an oscilloscope. Conduction times and refractory periods were measured during pacing at a cycle length of 300 msec. The dog heart was placed by a stimulator driving a constant current isolation unit. Electrical signals from the atrial and ventricular electrodes were displayed on a digital oscilloscope and recorded on an ink-jet recorder. The diastolic threshold was determined before and after each trial.
Refractory periods of the right atrium (AERP) and right ventricle (VERP) were determined by introducing an extrastimulus (S.sub.2) every 8 paced beats (S.sub.1). The extrastimulus was followed by a 4-second rest interval during which no pacing occurred. Both S.sub.1 and S.sub.2 were of identical intensity (twice threshold) and duration (2 msec). The S.sub.1 -S.sub.2 interval was gradually decreased in 2 msec steps until the extrastimulus failed to induce a propagated response. This S.sub.1 -S.sub.2 interval was considered to define the effective refractory period.
Atrial and ventricular conduction times (ACT and VCT) were measured as the time interval between the two electrograms recorded at the proximal and distal sites of the recording electrode array. The time of activation for electrograms with predominantly biphasic complexes was taken as the moment when the trace crossed the zero reference line, and for triphasic complexes, as the peak of the major deflection.
Animals received the test compound by i.v. injection. Drugs were administered cumulatively at the following dose levels: 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 mg/kg. Each dose was administered over a 3 minute period. Electrophysiologic testing was performed 15 minutes following the end of dosing. Every 30 minutes the dog received the next incremental dose.
Vehicle-treated animals did not show any significant change of the electrophysiologic parameters. An increase in ERP that occurred without a significant decrease of CT was taken, by definition, to indicate "in vivo" Class III antiarrhythmic activity.
The results of the assays are set forth in the tables below.
Based upon the activity profile elicited by the compounds of this invention in the above-described standard scientifically recognized test models, the compounds are established as antiarrhythmic agents useful in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and conditions characterized by coronary artery vasospasms. For that purpose, the compounds may be administered orally or parenterally in suitable dosage forms compatible with the route of administration, whether oral, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intravenous, internasal, buccal, etc. The effective dose range determined in the animal test models has been established at from about 1 to about 5 milligrams per kilogram host body weight (preferably from 2 to 10 mg/kg) i.v., and from about 2 to about 10 mg/kg (preferably 5 to 20 mg/kg) p.o., to be administered in single or plural doses as needed to relieve the arrhythmic dysfunction. The specific dosage regimen for a given patient will depend upon age, pathological state, severity of dysfunction, size of the patient, etc. Oral administration is performed with either a liquid or solid dosage unit in any conventional form such as tablets, capsules, solutions, etc., which comprise a unit dose (e.g. from about 50 milligrams to about 400 milligrams) of the active ingredient alone or in combination with adjuvants needed for conventional coating, tableting, solubilizing, flavoring or coloring. Parenteral administration with liquid dosage forms may be via sterile solutions or suspensions in aqueous or oleaginous medium. Isotonic aqueous vehicle for injection is preferred with or without stabilizers, preservatives and emulsifiers.
The following examples illustrate the preparation of a representative number of compounds of this invention.
