专利说明:
HETEROCYCLIC AMIDES AS ROCK INHIBITORS The present application is a divisional application of Australian Application No. 2011222900, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference. Field of the invention The present invention relates to new kinase inhibitors, more specifically ROCK inhibitors, compositions, in particular pharmaceuticals, comprising such inhibitors, and to uses of such inhibitors in the treatment and prophylaxis of disease. In particular, the present invention relates to new ROCK inhibitors, compositions, in particular pharmaceuticals, comprising such inhibitors, and to uses of such inhibitors in the treatment and prophylaxis of disease. Background of the invention The serine/threonine protein kinase ROCK consists in humans of two isoforms ROCK I and ROCK 11. ROCK I is encoded on chromosome 18 whereas ROCK ||, also called Rho-kinase, is located on chromosome 12. They both have a molecular weight close to 160kDa. They share an overall homology of 65% while being 95% homologous in their kinase domains. Despite their sequence similarity, they differ by their tissue distributions. The highest levels of expression for ROCK I are observed in heart, lung and skeletal tissues whereas ROCK 11 is mostly expressed in brain. Recent data indicate that these two isoforms are partially function redundant, ROCK I being more involved in immunological events, ROCK || in smooth muscle function. The term ROCK refers to ROCK I (aka ROK-1 9 , p160ROCK, or Rho-kinase p) and ROCK 11 (aka ROCK-a or Rho-kinase a). ROCK activity has been shown to be enhanced by GTPase RhoA that is a member of the Rho (Ras homologous) GTP-binding proteins. The active GTP-bound state of RhoA interacts with Rho binding domain (RBD) of ROCK that is located in an autoinhibitory carboxyl-terminal loop. Upon binding, the interactions between the ROCK negative regulatory domain and the kinase domain are disrupted. The process enables the kinase to acquire an open conformation in which it is fully active. The open conformation is also induced by the binding of lipid activators such as arachidonic acid to the PH domain in the kinase carboxyl-terminal domain. Another activation mechanism has been described during apoptosis and involves the cleavage of carboxyl terminus by caspase-3 and -2 (or granzyme B) for ROCK I and II, respectively. ROCK plays an important role in various cellular functions such as smooth muscle contraction, actin cytoskeleton organization, platelet activation, downregulation of myosin phosphatase cell adhesion, -migration, -proliferation and survival, thrombin-induced responses of aortic smooth muscle cells, hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes, bronchial smooth muscle contraction, smooth muscle contraction and cytoskeletal reorganization of non- muscle cells, activation of volume- regulated anion channels, neurite retraction, wound healing, cell transformation and gene expression. ROCK also acts in several signaling pathways that are involved in auto-immunity and inflammation. ROCK has been shown to play a part in the activation of NF-KB, a critical molecule that leads to the - 1 production of TNF and other inflammatory cytokines. ROCK inhibit are reponed to act against TNFealpha and IL4 production in iipcpolysacchande tLS-ystimuiated THPI macraciaes. Therefore. ROCK nihibors provide a useM therapy to treat autoimmune and inflammatory diseases as well as oxidative stress, ionclusic. ROCK is a mago ctrol point i smooth muscle eil function and a key signaing component involved iiramatory processes i various inflammatory cells as wel as fibrosis and remodelign many diseased organsm"hereare clear indications that ROCK is involved in the patfogenesis of many diseases, inuding asthma COPQ and glaucoma re aditHon ROCK has been irp1icated in various diseases and disorders including nye dsases; ainway diseases: Cardtiovascuiar and vascular diseases; inflammatory diseases; neurological ad CNS disorders; poliferative diseases kidney diseases; sexual dysfuncon; blood diseases; bone diseases; diabetes; benign prostatic hyperplasia transplant rejection, liver disease systemic lupus erythmatosis, spasm, hypertension. chronic obsiructive bladder disease, remature birth. infection, aergy, obesity, pancreatic disease and AIDS ROCK appears to be a safe target as exempified by knockout rnodels and a erge number of academic studies. These KO mice data, in combination with poshmarketing surveince studies with Fasudi a moderate potent ROOCK inhibitor used for the treatment of vasospasm after suberachnOid hemorrhage indicate ta ROCK is a ,gemuine and signiicant drug target ROCK inhibitors would be useful as therapeutic agents for the treatment of disorders implicated in the pathway, Acdghere is a great need to develop ROCK inhibitors that are useful in treating varous diseases or conditions associated with ROCK activationn partiulay given the inadequate treatments currently available for the majority of Tese disorders. Soe non-imiting examples are gaucoma. asthma and OPD.

The human sexual response in both maics and females results from an interplay of physlogicat psychologicaliand hrmional factors. One common aspect of he sexnt response in males and males, however, is the vasoactive response, which results in ergoroement of the sexual tissues of the genita with blood as a result of vascular smooth muscle relaxation in response to sexual simulation. Thus, blood pressure and blood flow inside the penis and aitons increase when smooth muscles of the lpudental vasCulature relax. This arterial influx of blood causes enlargement of the penile or cditoral corporal cavernosa and results in erection, -3- Impomtnceerectle dystucton irn menk is qeneraly defined as an inabriity to acheve and sustain p an erection suffiieet for satisfacicry sexual perdormnarne and intercourse. Impotence can be due to psychological disturbances. neurological abanormnaities. or other physiological disturbances noluding hrmonali deficiencies or; a combination of causes. n the Urnted Statesale impotence is estimated to affect 40% of men at age 40, increasing with age to about 50% by 50 years: and is as higas s 67% by the age of 70. It is stated that up to 30 miion males may suffer from impotence in the U. S, Females can also have sexual dysfucinhat ncrepses with age and is asoccitedwih the onset of menopause and increased risk of vascuardisorder Thus similar to enr sexual arousal in womn is accompanied, at least in part, by increased blood flow which engorges the citoisBlood flow to the vagina also increases vaginal licatin Thu. femae sexual dysfuncan can result from an nability to attain or maintain cltoral eingorgement and/or vaginal ubriation throughout the period of sexual activity. Currently, mccvasodilators used to treat ectile dysfunction target signal transducton pathways that reduce calcium ion, which is needed to initiate contracne activity in vascuar smoont muse. However, from a physiological standpoint the initiation of vasoconstriction is a veny aute event lasting only seconds to a few minutes. The erecile tissue is maintained in the flaccid state by long term vasoconstriction through a signal transduction pathway that is calcium-independent. A signal pathway that maintains caUiumnidependent vasoconstriction is the RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway. ROCK inhibitors are according useful to treat erectile dysfunct Thus, in one aspect. the present invention comprises a method for treating male or female Asesual dysfunction which comprises topical administration to an indAdua In need thereof of a composition comprising a compound which attenuatesfhoknase actiy t ar organ subject to sexualstimulation and a pharmaceutrcaly acceptable carter Several different classes of ROCK inhibitors are known. The cunrnt focus is oncology and cardiovascular applications Unti now the outstanding therapeutic potential of ROCK inhibitors has ordybeen explored to aliited extent The reason i the fact that ROCK is such a potent and videspread biochemial regulator that systernic iniition of ROCK leads to strong hsiogtai effects that are considered as being side effects for the treatment of most of the diseases. Indeed the medical use of ROCK inhibitors to treat diseases with astrongintiarmatory component is hampered by the pivotal role of ROCK in the reguiation of the tonic phase of smooth muse cell conraction Systemically available ROCK inhibitors induce a marked decrease in blood pressure. Therefore, ROCK inhibitors with different properties arehhly requied. -4- For the tagoet spendi treyhtdient of thsorders by ratdaicn smooth ste ftnztion erdfor Thfhmmatorv processes anor remdetng tiS h desird to delver a ROC inhnitor to the am~k, 1,0 ,rgs toenter otter k~ras, TI-eefm target organ and to avoid significant amounts of these du tenrohrognsTherefore, local or topicat appucation is desired.
