ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to adamantane derivatives, a process for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, a process for preparing the pharmaceutical compositions, and their use in therapy.
The P2X
7
receptor (previously known as P2Z receptor), which is a ligand-gated ion channel, is present on a variety of cell types, largely those known to be involved in the inflammatory/immune process, specifically, macrophages, mast cells and lymphocytes (T and B). Activation of the P2X
7
receptor by extracellular nucleotides, in particular adenosine triphosphate, leads to the release of interleukin-1&bgr; (IL-1&bgr;) and giant cell formation (macrophages/microglial cells), degranulation (mast cells) and L-selectin shedding (lymphocytes). P2X
7
receptors are also located on antigen-presenting cells (APC), keratinocytes, salivary acinar cells (parotid cells), hepatocytes, erythrocytes, erydiroleukaemic cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, bone marrow cells, neurones and renal mesangial cells.
It would be desirable to make compounds effective as P2X
7
receptor antagonists for use in the treatment of inflammatory, immune or cardiovascular diseases, in the aetiologies of which the P2X
7
receptor may play a role.
In accordance with the present invention, there is therefore provided a compound of general formula
