ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a novel series of 4-substituted-3-substituted-amino-cyclobutyl-3-ene-1,2-diones having pharmacological activity, to a process for their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and to their use in the treatment of disorders associated with smooth muscle contraction, via potassium channel modulation. Such disorders include, but are not limited to: urinary incontinence, asthma, premature labor, irritable bowel syndrome, congestive heart failure, angina, and cerebral vascular disease.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Modulation of potassium channels remains at the forefront of current approaches for controlling resting cell membrane potential and affecting cell excitability. A wide variety of discrete potassium channels exist and these have been thoroughly classified according to structure, function, pharmacological properties, and gating mechanisms in several recent reviews: Rudy, B.
