ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to compounds of formula I, which may be useful for treating diseases or conditions caused by or exacerbated by histamine-3 receptor activity, pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of formula I and methods of treatment using compounds of formula I.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Histamine is a well-known mediator in hypersensitive reactions (e.g. allergies, hay fever, and asthma) which are commonly treated with antagonists of histamine or “antihistamines.” It has also been established that histamine receptors exist in at least two distinct types, referred to as H
1
and H
2
receptors.
A third histamine receptor (H
3
receptor) is believed to play a role in neurotransmission in the central nervous system, where the H
3
receptor is thought to be disposed presynaptically on histaminergic nerve endings (Nature, 302, 832-837 (1983)). The existence of the H
3
receptor has been confirmed by the development of selective H
3
receptor agonists and antagonists (Nature, 327, 117-123 (1987)) and has subsequently been shown to regulate the release of other neurotransmitters in both the central nervous system and peripheral organs, particularly the lungs, cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal tract.
A number of diseases or conditions may be treated with histamine-3 receptor ligands wherein the H
3
ligand may be an antagonist, agonist or partially agonist, see: (Imamura et al., Circ.Res., (1996) 78, 475-481); (Imamura et. al., Circ. Res., (1996) 78, 863-869); (Lin et al., Brain Res.
