Abstract:
The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically the present invention pertains to certain (4-phenyl-piperidin-1-yl)- [5-(1 H-pyrazol-4-yl)-thiophen-3-yl]-methanone compounds that, inter alia, inhibit 11 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 β-HSD1 ). The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit 1 1 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1; to treat disorders that are ameliorated by the inhibition of 11 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1; to treat the metabolic syndrome, which includes disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, and associated disorders including insulin resistance, hypertension, lipid disorders and cardiovascular disorders such as ischaemic (coronary) heart disease; to treat CNS disorders such as mild cognitive impairment and early dementia, including Alzheimer's disease; etc.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to physiologically active compounds of formula (I) wherein R represents R -Z , R -L -R -Z -, R -L -Ar -L -Z - or R -L -Ar -L -R -Z -; R represents hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy; A represents a straight chain C2-3alkylene linkage optionally substituted by one or more groups chosen from alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkyl, imino, oxo, thioxo, or alkyl substituted by -ZR , -NY Y , -CO2R or -C(=O)-NY Y ; L represents a direct bond; an alkenylene, alkylene, alkynylene, cycloalkenylene, cycloalkylene, heteroaryldiyl, heterocycloalkylene or arylene linkage each optionally substituted by (a) an acidic functional group, cyano, oxo, -S(O)mR , R , -C(=O)-R , -C(=O)-OR , -N(R )-C(=O)-R , -N(R )-C(=O)-OR , -N(R )-SO2-R , -NY Y or -[C(=O)-N(R )-C(R )(R )]p-C(=O)-NY Y , or by (b) alkyl substituted by an acidic functional group, or by S(O)mR , -C(=O)-NY Y or -NY Y ; a -[C(=O)-N(R )-C(R )(R )]p-linkage; a-Z -R -linkage; a -C(=O)-CH2-C(=O)-linkage; a -R -Z -R - linkage; a -C(R )(R )-[C(=O)-N(R )-C(R )(R )]p- linkage; or a -L -L -L - linkage; Z is NR or O; Y is carboxy or an acid bioisostere; and the corresponding N-oxides, and their prodrugs; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates of such compounds and their N-oxides and prodrugs. Such compounds have valuable pharmaceutical properties, in particular the ability to regulate the interaction of VCAM-1 and fibronectin with the integrin VLA-4 ( alpha 4 beta 1).
