Definitions

  • This invention relates to azaspiro derivatives that act as modulators of the TRPM8 receptor.
  • the present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of novel azaspiro derivatives and to their use in the treatment of a wide range of diseases, syndromes, and disorders, in particular for the treatment of inflammatory, pain and urological diseases or disorders.
  • TRP channels are one of the largest groups of ion channels, and they are divided into 6 sub-families (TRPV, TRPM, TRPA, TRPC, TRPP and TRPML). TRP channels are cation-selecive channels that are activated by a variety of physical (e.g., temperature, osmolarity, mechanical) and chemical stimuli. TRPM8 is a member of TRP channel family. The receptor was cloned in 2002 (NPL 1; NPL 2) and it was found to be sensitive to cold temperature and menthol, and therefore named as cold menthol receptor-1 (CMR-1). TRPM8 can sense temperature changes in the range of both innocuous cold (15-28 o C) and noxious cold ( ⁇ 15 o C) as well as by chemical agents such as menthol and icilin.
  • CMR-1 cold menthol receptor-1
  • TRPM8 is located on primary nociceptive neurons including A-delta and C-fibers and is also modulated by inflammation-mediated second messenger signals (NPL 3; NPL 4).
  • NPL 3 inflammation-mediated second messenger signals
  • the localization of TRPM8 on both A-delta and C-fibers may provide a basis for abnormal cold sensitivity in pathologic conditions wherein these neurons are altered, resulting in pain, often of a burning nature (NPL 5; NPL 6; NPL 7, NPL 8, NPL 9).
  • NPL 5; NPL 6; NPL 7, NPL 8, NPL 9 a burning nature
  • Oxaliplatin a third-generation platinum-based chemotherapy drug, induces serious sensory neurotoxicity in patients, which is aggravated by exposure to cold.
  • Glenmark group reported that the small molecular TRPM8 antagonists produced a dose-dependent inhibition of nocifensive paw licking in oxaliplatin-induced cold allodynia in mice (NPL 11).

Abstract

The present invention relates to azaspiro derivatives of the formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a prodrug thereof, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in the treatment of various disorders which are mediated via the TRPM8 receptor.

Description

AZASPIRO DERIVATIVES AS TRPM8 ANTAGONISTS
This invention relates to azaspiro derivatives that act as modulators of the TRPM8 receptor. The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of novel azaspiro derivatives and to their use in the treatment of a wide range of diseases, syndromes, and disorders, in particular for the treatment of inflammatory, pain and urological diseases or disorders.
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are one of the largest groups of ion channels, and they are divided into 6 sub-families (TRPV, TRPM, TRPA, TRPC, TRPP and TRPML). TRP channels are cation-selecive channels that are activated by a variety of physical (e.g., temperature, osmolarity, mechanical) and chemical stimuli. TRPM8 is a member of TRP channel family. The receptor was cloned in 2002 (NPL 1; NPL 2) and it was found to be sensitive to cold temperature and menthol, and therefore named as cold menthol receptor-1 (CMR-1). TRPM8 can sense temperature changes in the range of both innocuous cold (15-28 oC) and noxious cold (<15 oC) as well as by chemical agents such as menthol and icilin.
TRPM8 is located on primary nociceptive neurons including A-delta and C-fibers and is also modulated by inflammation-mediated second messenger signals (NPL 3; NPL 4). The localization of TRPM8 on both A-delta and C-fibers may provide a basis for abnormal cold sensitivity in pathologic conditions wherein these neurons are altered, resulting in pain, often of a burning nature (NPL 5; NPL 6; NPL 7, NPL 8, NPL 9). Gauchan et al. reported that the expression of TRPM8 in the primary afferents was increased in oxaliplatin-induced cold allodynia model in mice (NPL 10). Oxaliplatin, a third-generation platinum-based chemotherapy drug, induces serious sensory neurotoxicity in patients, which is aggravated by exposure to cold. Recently, Glenmark group reported that the small molecular TRPM8 antagonists produced a dose-dependent inhibition of nocifensive paw licking in oxaliplatin-induced cold allodynia in mice (NPL 11).
Cold intolerance and paradoxical burning sensations induced by chemical or thermal cooling closely parallel symptoms seen in a wide range of clinical disorders and thus provide a strong rationale for the development of TRPM8 modulators as novel antihyperalgesic or antiallodynic agents. TRPM8 is also known to be expressed in the brain, odontoblasts, lung, bladder, gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, prostate and immune cells, thereby providing the possibility for therapeutic modulation in a wide range of maladies.
International patent application WO 2006/040136 (PTL 1) purportedly describes substituted 4-benzyloxy-phenylmethylamide derivatives as cold menthol receptor-1 (CMR-1) antagonists for the treatment of urological disorders. International patent application WO 2006/040103 (PTL 2) purportedly describes methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treatment and/or prophylaxis of respiratory diseases or disorders. Recently, International patent application WO 2014/025651 (PTL 3) from Amgen Inc. purportedly describes chroman compounds and derivatives as TRPM8 inhibitors for the treatment of migraines and neuropathic pain.
The compounds of the present invention which have TRPM8 receptor antagonist activity are structurally quite different from prior arts.
WO 2010/037081(PTL 4) and US005739336A (PTL 5) disclose spiropiperidine derivatives. However, the chemical structures of the compounds disclosed in the both patents are quite different from the compounds of the present invention. In addition, the compounds disclosed in the both patents relate to melanocortin receptor inhibitors and selective 5HT2c receptor antagonists, respectively, which is quite different from TRPM8 receptor antagonist.
WO 2012/174342 (PTL 6) and WO 2011/148962 (PTL 7) disclose spiro[cyclohexane-oxazolidinone] derivatives. However, the chemical structures of the compounds disclosed in the both patents are quite different from the compounds of the present invention. In addition, the compounds disclosed in the both patents relate to TRPV4 antagonists and antibacterial agents, respectively, which is quite different from TRPM8 receptor antagonist. The invention in WO 2005/044978 (PTL 8) discloses spiro derivatives which relate an

in the both aspects of chemical structures and biological activities.
Therefore the azaspiro derivatives in the present invention which have TRPM8 receptor antagonist activity have never been disclosed in prior arts.

Included within the scope of the "compounds of the invention" are all salts, solvates, hydrates, complexes, polymorphs, prodrugs, radiolabeled derivatives, stereoisomers and optical isomers of the compounds of formula (I).
The compounds of formula (I) can form acid addition salts thereof. It will be appreciated that for use in medicine the salts of the compounds of formula (I) should be pharmaceutically acceptable. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts will be apparent to those skilled in the art and include those described in J. Pharm. Sci, 66, 1-19, 1977, such as acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids e.g. hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric or phosphoric acid; and organic acids e.g. succinic, maleic, formic, acetic, trifluoroacetic, propionic, fumaric, citric, tartaric, benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic or naphthalenesulfonic acid. Certain of the compounds of formula (I) may form acid addition salts with one or more equivalents of the acid. The present invention includes within its scope all possible stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric forms. In addition, certain compounds containing an acidic function such as a carboxy can be isolated in the form of their inorganic salt in which the counter ion can be selected from sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium and the like, as well as from organic bases.
Also within the scope of the invention are so-called "prodrugs" of the compounds of formula (I). Thus certain derivatives of compounds of formula (I) which may have little or no pharmacological activity themselves, when administered into or onto the body, can be converted into compounds of formula (I) having the desired activity, for example, by hydrolytic cleavage. Such derivatives are referred to as "prodrugs". Further information on the use of prodrugs may be found in Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14, ACS Symposium Series (T Higuchi and W Stella) and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, Pergamon Press, 1987 (ed. E B Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association).
Prodrugs in accordance with the invention, for example, can be produced by replacing appropriate functionalities present in the compounds of formula (I) with certain moieties known to those skilled in the art as 'pro-moieties' as described, for example, in Design of Prodrugs by H Bundgaard (Elsevier, 1985). Some examples of prodrugs in accordance with the invention include:
(i) where the compound of formula (I) contains an alcohol functionality (-OH), compounds wherein the hydroxy group is replaced with a moiety convertible in vivo into the hydroxy group. Said moiety convertible in vivo into the hydroxy group means a moiety transformable in vivo into a hydroxyl group by e.g. hydrolysis and/or by an enzyme, e.g. an esterase. Examples of said moiety include, but are not limited to, ester and ether groups which may be hydrolyzed easily in vivo. Preferred are the moieties replaced the hydrogen of hydroxy group with acyloxyalkyl, 1-(alkoxycarbonyloxy)alkyl, phthalidyl and acyloxyalkyloxycarbonyl such as pivaloyloxymethyloxycarbonyl.
(ii) where the compound of the formula (I) contains an amino group, an amide derivative prepared by reacting with a suitable acid halide or a suitable acid anhydride is exemplified as a prodrug. A particularly preferred amide derivative as a prodrug is -NHCO(CH2)2OCH3, -NHCOCH(NH2)CH3 or the like.
Further examples of replacement groups in accordance with the foregoing examples and examples of other prodrug types may be found in the aforementioned references.
The compounds of formula (I), salts thereof and prodrugs thereof may be prepared in crystalline or non-crystalline form, and, if crystalline, may optionally be hydrated or solvated. This invention includes within its scope stoichiometric hydrates or solvates as well as compounds containing variable amounts of water and/or solvent.
Salts and solvates having non-pharmaceutically acceptable counter-ions or associated solvents are within the scope of the present invention, for example, for use as intermediates in the preparation of other compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
Additionally, the compounds of formula (I) may be administered as prodrugs. As used herein, a "prodrug" of a compound of formula (I) is a functional derivative of the compound which, upon administration to a patient, eventually liberates the compound of formula (I) in vivo. Administration of a compound of formula (I) as a prodrug may enable the skilled artisan to do one or more of the following: (a) modify the onset of action of the compound in vivo; (b) modify the duration of action of the compound in vivo; (c) modify the transportation or distribution of the compound in vivo; (d) modify the solubility of the compound in vivo; and (e) overcome a side effect or other difficulty encountered with the compound. Typical functional derivatives used to prepare prodrugs include modifications of the compound that are chemically or enzymatically cleaved in vivo. Such modifications, which include the preparation of phosphates, amides, esters, thioesters, carbonates, and carbamates, are well known to those skilled in the art.
In certain of the compounds of formula (I), there may be some chiral carbon atoms. In such cases, compounds of formula (I) exist as stereoisomers. The invention extends to all optical isomers such as stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I) including enantiomers, diastereoisomers and mixtures thereof, such as racemates. The different stereoisomeric forms may be separated or resolved one from the other by conventional methods or any given isomer may be obtained by conventional stereoselective or asymmetric syntheses.
Certain of the compounds herein can exist in various tautomeric forms and it is to be understood that the invention encompasses all such tautomeric forms.
The invention also includes isotopically-labeled compounds, which are identical to those described herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, iodine, and chlorine, such as 3H, 11C, 14C, 18F, 123I and 125I. Compounds of the invention that contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or other isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of the present invention. Isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H, 14C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, i.e., 3H, and carbon-14, i.e., 14C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. 11C and 18F isotopes are particularly useful in PET (positron emission tomography), and 125I isotopes are particularly useful in SPECT (single photon emission computerized tomography), all useful in brain imaging. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., 2H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances. lsotopically labeled compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the Schemes and/or in the Examples below, then substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.
The potencies and efficacies of the compounds of this invention for TRPM8 can be determined by reporter assay performed on the human cloned receptor as described herein. Compounds of formula (I) have demonstrated antagonistic activity at the TRPM8 receptor, using the functional assay described herein.
Compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are therefore of use in the treatment of conditions or disorders which are mediated via the TRPM8 receptor. In particular the compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are of use in the treatment of a wide range of diseases, syndromes, and disorders, in particular for the treatment of inflammatory, pain and urological diseases or disorders, such as wherein the condition or disorder is one or more of inflammatory, pain and urological diseases or disorders, including chronic pain; neuropathic pain including cold allodynia and diabetic neuropathy; postoperative pain; osteoarthritis; rheumatoid arthritic pain; cancer pain; neuralgia; neuropathies; algesia; dentin hypersensitivity; nerve injury; migraine; cluster and tension headaches; ischaemia; irritable bowel syndrome; Raynaud's syndrome; neurodegeneration; fibromyalgia; stroke; itch; psychiatric disorders including anxiety and depression; inflammatory disorders including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary, airways disease including COPD, pulmonary hypertension; anxiety including other stress-related disorders; and urological diseases or disorders including detrusor overactivity or overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, neurogenic detrusor overactivity or detrusor hyperflexia, idiopathic detrusor overactivity or detrusor instability, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and lower urinary tract symptoms; and combinations thereof.
Activities of the compound (I) for each diseases, syndromes, and disorders described above can be confirmed in the suitable model known to skilled in the arts. For example, activities of compounds of formula (I) for neuropathic pain have been confirmed in chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced model, such as cold allodynia and static allodynia model.
It is to be understood that "treatment" as used herein includes prophylaxis as well as alleviation of established symptoms as described above.
A pharmaceutical composition of the invention, which may be prepared by admixture, suitably at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, is usually adapted for oral, parenteral or rectal administration and, as such, may be in the form of tablets, capsules, oral liquid preparations, powders, granules, lozenges, reconstitutable powders, injectable or infusible solutions or suspensions or suppositories. Orally administered compositions are generally preferred. Tablets and capsules for oral administration may be in unit dose form, and may contain conventional excipients, such as binding agents (e.g. pregelatinised maize starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e.g. lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium hydrogen phosphate); tabletting lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc or silica); disintegrants (e.g. potato starch or sodium starch glycolate); and acceptable wetting agents (e.g. sodium lauryl sulphate). The tablets may be coated according to methods well known in normal pharmaceutical practice.
Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of, for example, aqueous or oily suspension, solutions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, or may be in the form of a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents (e.g. sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or hydrogenated edible fats), emulsifying agents (e.g. lecithin or acacia), non-aqueous vehicles (which may include edible oils e.g. almond oil, oily esters, ethyl alcohol or fractionated vegetable oils), preservatives (e.g. methyl or propyl-p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid), and, if desired, conventional flavourings or colorants, buffer salts and sweetening agents as appropriate. Preparations for oral administration may be suitably formulated to give controlled release of the active compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
For parenteral administration, fluid unit dosage forms are prepared utilising a compound of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a sterile vehicle. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form e.g. in ampoules or in multi-dose, utilising a compound of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a sterile vehicle, optionally with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilising and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile pyrogen-free water, before use. The compound, depending on the vehicle and concentration used, can be either suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. In preparing solutions, the compound can be dissolved for injection and filter sterilised before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing. Advantageously, adjuvants such as a local anaesthetic, preservatives and buffering agents are dissolved in the vehicle. To enhance the stability, the composition can be frozen after filling into the vial and the water removed under vacuum. Parenteral suspensions are prepared in substantially the same manner, except that the compound is suspended in the vehicle instead of being dissolved, and sterilisation cannot be accomplished by filtration. The compound can be sterilised by exposure to ethylene oxide before suspension in a sterile vehicle. Advantageously, a surfactant or wetting agent is included in the composition to facilitate uniform distribution of the compound.
Lotions may be formulated with an aqueous or oily base and will in general also contain one or more emulsifying agents, stabilising agents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, or colouring agents. Drops may be formulated with an aqueous or non-aqueous base also comprising one or more dispersing agents, stabilising agents, solubilising agents or suspending agents. They may also contain a preservative.
The compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g. containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
The compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts may also be formulated as depot preparations. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.
For intranasal administration, the compounds formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be formulated as solutions for administration via a suitable metered or unitary dose device or alternatively as a powder mix with a suitable carrier for administration using a suitable delivery device. Thus compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be formulated for oral, buccal, parenteral, topical (including ophthalmic and nasal), depot or rectal administration or in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation (either through the mouth or nose). The compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be formulated for topical administration in the form of ointments, creams, gels, lotions, pessaries, aerosols or drops (e.g. eye, ear or nose drops). Ointments and creams may, for example, be formulated with an aqueous or oily base with the addition of suitable thickening and/or gelling agents. Ointments for administration to the eye may be manufactured in a sterile manner using sterilized components.
A TRPM8 antagonist may be usefully combined with another pharmacologically active compound, or with two or more other pharmacologically active compounds, particularly in the treatment of inflammatory, pain and urological diseases or disorders.

Measurement of the menthol-induced Ca 2+ influx in HEK293 cells stably expressing human TRPM8
A cell-based Ca2+ influx assay using HEK293 cells stably expressing human TRPM8 is used to identify the activity of compounds.
HEK293 cells stably expressing human TRPM8 are grown in T175 flasks at 37oC in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator to about 80% confluence. Media composition consists of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (high glucose), 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), 100 units/mLPenicillin, 100 microg/mL Streptomycin and 600 microg/mL Geneticine. At 24 hours prior to assay, cells are seeded in poly-D-lysine coated 384-well plates (BD FALCON) at a density of 30,000 cells per well in culture medium and grown overnight in 5% CO2 at 37oC. On the assay day, growth media is removed and cells are loaded with 0.5 microM Fluo4-AM (Molecular Probes) and 0.005 % Pluronic F-127 dissolved in assay buffer (Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS), 19.4 mM HEPES pH7.4, 2.5 mM Probenecid) for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing with assay buffer, the cells are preincubated with various concentrations of the compounds for 5 min. The changes in intracellular calcium concentration by addition of 30 microM menthol are monitored by the cell imaging technology by Hamamatsu Photonics Functional Drug Screening System (FDSS).
The IC50 values for compounds of the present invention are determined from 11-point dose-response studies. Curves are generated using the average of duplicate wells for each data point. Finally, the IC50 values are calculated with the best-fit dose curve determined by XLfit (ID Business Solutions Ltd.).

Measurement of the menthol-induced Ca 2+ influx in a human malignant melanoma cell lines
Since TRPM8 is expressed in a human malignant melanoma cell lines, G-361 (Health Science Research Resources Bank, Osaka, Japan), the G-361 cells are used for in vitro functional assay.
G-361 cells are grown in T175 flasks at 37oC in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator to about 80% confluence. Media composition consists of McCoy's 5A medium and 10% FCS. At 48 hours prior to assay, cells are seeded in poly-D-lysine coated 96-well plates (Corning) at a density of 12,000 cells per well in culture medium and grown in 5% CO2 at 37oC. On the assay day, growth media is removed and cells are loaded with 5 microM Fluo-4 AM (Molecular Probes) and 0.005 % Pluronic F-127 dissolved in assay buffer (HBSS, 19.4 mM HEPES pH7.4, 2.5 mM Probenecid) for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing with assay buffer, the cells are preincubated with various concentrations of the compounds for 5 min. The changes in intracellular calcium concentration by addition of 300 microM menthol are monitored by FDSS.
The IC50 values for compounds of the present invention are determined from dose-response studies. Curves are generated using the average of duplicate wells for each data point. Finally, the IC50 values are calculated with the best-fit dose curve determined by XLfit (ID Business Solutions Ltd.).
Compounds of this invention show good IC50 values, which show the above-mentioned practical use.
Chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced model of neuropathic pain; cold allodynia
Male Sprague Dawley rats (7 weeks old at the start of experiment, n=7-10/treatment) purchased from Charles River Japan, Inc. are used. The CCI is made according to the method of Bennett GJ and Xie YK (Pain 1988, 33: 87-107). Rats are anesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital. The left common sciatic nerve is exposed at the level of the middle of the thigh and four ligatures are loosely tided around it by using 4-0 silk thread (Ethicon Inc.) with about 1 mm space. Sham operation is performed in the same manner except of sciatic nerve ligation. One to two weeks following CCI surgery, cold allodynia is assessed using a cold plate (LHP-1700CP, TECA) with a temperature controller (Mode13300-0, CAL Controls Inc.) as described by Tanimoto-Mori S et al. (Behav Pharmacol.,19: 85-90, 2008). The animals are habituated to the apparatus which consists of a transparent acrylic box (10 x12 x12 cm) on a stainless-steel plate (15 x33 cm). The surface of the cold plate held on 10oC and the temperature of the plate is monitored continuously with a precision of 0.1oC. For testing, the rat is placed on the cold plate and the paw withdrawal latency (PWL) is measured before and after the compound administration, with a cut-off value of 120 seconds. The compounds of the invention or their vehicles are administered perorally, subcutaneously or intraperitoneally. The percentages of inhibition are calculated as follows;

Chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced model of neuropathic pain; static allodynia
Male Sprague Dawley rats (7 weeks old at the start of experiment, n=7-10/treatment) purchased from Charles River Japan, Inc. are used. The CCI is made according to the method of Bennett GJ and Xie YK (Pain 1988, 33: 87-107). Rats are anesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital. The left common sciatic nerve is exposed at the level of the middle of the thigh and four ligatures are loosely tided around it by using 4-0 silk thread (Ethicon Inc.) with about 1 mm space. Sham operation is performed in the same manner except of sciatic nerve ligation. Static allodynia is assessed using von Frey hairs (VFHs) at two to three weeks following CCI surgery as described by Field MJ et al. (Pain 1999, 83: 303-311). The animals are habituated to grid bottom cages prior to the start of experiment. VFHs in ascending order of force (0.16, 0.4, 0.6, 1, 1.4, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15 and 26 gram) are applied to the plantar surface of the hind paw. Each VFH is applied to the ipsilateral paw for 6 seconds or until a withdrawal response is occurred. Once a withdrawal response is happened, the paw is re-tested, starting with the next descending VFH until no response is occurred. The lowest amount of force required to elicit a response is recorded as paw withdrawal threshold (PWT). Static allodynia is defined as present if animals responded to or below the innocuous 1.4 gram VFH. The compounds of the invention or their vehicles are administered perorally, subcutaneously or intraperitoneally. The percentages of inhibition are calculated as follows;

Oxaliplatin-induced model of neuropathic pain; cold and static allodynia
Male Sprague Dawley rats (7 weeks old at the start of experiment, n=7-10/treatment) purchased from Charles River Japan, Inc. are used. The study is conducted according to the method of Gauchan P et al. (NeuroSci Lett, 2009, 458, 93-95). Oxaliplatin (Yakult Co., Ltd.) is dissolved in 5% glucose. Oxaliplatin (4 mg/kg) is injected intraperitoneally twice a week for two-week. Cold allodynia is assessed using a cold plate (LHP-1700CP, TECA) with a temperature controller (Mode13300-0, CAL Controls Inc.) as described by Tanimoto-Mori S et al. (Behav Pharmacol.,19: 85-90, 2008). The animals are habituated to the apparatus which consists of a transparent acrylic box (10 x 12 x 12 cm) on a stainless-steel plate (15 x 33 cm). The surface of the cold plate held on 10oC and the temperature of the plate is monitored continuously with a precision of 0.1oC. For testing, the animal is placed on the cold plate and PWL is measured before and after the compound administration, with a cut-off value of 120 seconds. Static allodynia is assessed using VFHs. The animals are habituated to grid or mesh bottom cages prior to the start of experiment. VFHs in ascending order of force (0.16, 0.4, 0.6, 1, 1.4, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15 and 26 gram) are applied to the plantar surface of the hind paw. Once a withdrawal response is happened, the paw is re-tested, starting with the next descending VFH until no response is occurred.

Oxaliplatin-induced model of neuropathic pain; cold hyperalgesia/allodynia
Male Sprague Dawley rats (7 weeks old, n=8-10/treatment) purchased from Charles River Japan, Inc. were used. Oxaliplatin (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Led.) was dissolved in 5% glucose for injection to make 4 mg/mL solution. Oxaliplatin (4 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally twice a week for two-week (on Days 1, 2, 8, 9) in a volume of 1 mL/kg. First day of treatment was defined as Day 1. Cold hyperalgesia/allodynia was assessed by acetone test. The animals were habituated to grid or mesh bottom cages prior to the start of experiment. Acetone (50 mL) was applied to the plantar surface of the hind paw. After the application, nociceptive responses were scored as follows: 0; no response, 1; stamping and/or lifting of the paw, 2; licking/biting or flinching of the paw once, 3; repeated licking/biting and/or flinching of the paw. Acetone was repeatedly applied to the left and right hind paws (twice for each, total 4 applications), thus total score were maximum 12 and minimum 0. For testing, total score was measured before and after the compound administration. The compounds of the invention or their vehicles were administered perorally, subcutaneously or intraperitoneally.
Compounds of this invention showed potent activities in this model, which show the above-mentioned practical use

Measurement of the micturition frequency in guinea pigs in vivo
Female Guinea Pigs (300-450g) are anaesthetized with urethane. A midline abdominal incision is performed, both ureters are exposed and ligated, a catheter is implanted in the bladder pole and the abdomen is closed. For administration of the compounds the vena jugularis is exposed and cannulated with a catheter. After this surgery the bladder catheter is connected via a t-shaped tube to an infusion pump and to a pressure transducer. Saline is infused and intrabladder pressure is registered. After 1 h of equilibration period and the establishment of constant voiding cycles, menthol (0.2 - 0.6 mM) is added to the infused saline. At this point also vehicle (control group) or TRPM8 antagonists are administered i.v. as bolus injection. The effect of treatment on the micturition interval (corresponding to bladder capacity) and micturition pressure is calculated and compared between vehicle-treated and compound-treated groups.
Compounds of this invention show potent activities in this model, which show the above-mentioned practical use.

Human dofetilide binding assay
Human HERG transfected HEK293S cells are prepared and grown in-house. The collected cells are suspended in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4 at 4 oC) and homogenized using a hand held Polytron PT 1200 disruptor set at full power for 20 sec on ice. The homogenates are centrifuged at 48,000 x g at 4 oC for 20 min. The pellets are then resuspended, homogenized, and centrifuged once more in the same manner. The final pellets are resuspended in an appropriate volume of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2 (pH 7.4 at 4 oC), homogenized, aliquoted and stored at -80 oC until use. An aliquot of membrane fractions is used for protein concentration determination using BCA protein assay kit (PIERCE) and ARVOsx plate reader (Wallac). Binding assays are conducted in a total volume of 30 microL in 384-well plates. The activity is measured by PHERAstar (BMG LABTECH) using fluorescence polarization technology. Ten microL of test compounds are incubated with 10 microL of fluorescence ligand (6 nM Cy3B tagged dofetilide derivative) and 10 microL of membrane homogenate (6 microgram protein) for 120 minutes at room temperature. Nonspecific binding is determined by 10 microM E4031 at the final concentration.
All tested compounds of the invention show higher IC50 values in human dofetilide binding than IC50 values in TRPM8 functional assay described above.
The closest compound described as an example 2-121 in WO2014/130582 to the present invention is the following compound.

Metabolic stability assay:
Half-life in human liver microsomes (HLM)
Test compounds (1 microM) are incubated with 1 mM MgCl2 and 0.78 mg/mL HLM (HL101) or 0.74 mg/mL HLM (Gentest UltraPool 150) or 0.61 mg/mL HLM (XenoTech XTreme 200) in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37 oC on the 96-deep well plate. The reaction mixture is split into two groups, a non-P450 and a P450 groupon necessary. NADPH is only added to the reaction mixture of the P450 group. (NADPH generation system is also used instead of NADPH.) An aliquot of samples of P450 group is collected at 0, 10, 30, and 60 min time point, where 0 min time point indicated the time when NADPH is added into the reaction mixture of P450 group. An aliquot of samples of non-P450 group is collected at -10 and 65 min time point. Collected aliquots are extracted with acetonitrile solution containing an internal standard. The precipitated protein is spun down in centrifuge (2000 rpm, 15 min). The compound concentration in supernatant is measured by LC/MS/MS system.
The half-life value is obtained by plotting the natural logarithm of the peak area ratio of compounds/ internal standard versus time. The slope of the line of best fit through the points yield the rate of metabolism (k). This is converted to a half-life value using following equations:
