and salts and solvates thereof, in particular, physiologically acceptable solvates and salts thereof.
Conveniently the adenosine A1 agonists of the general formula (I) above exhibit greater activity at the adenosine A1 receptor than the other adenosine receptor subtypes, particularly A3. More particularly the compounds exhibit little or no activity at the the A3 receptor.
It will be appreciated that wherein R
1
and/or R
2
in compounds of formula (I) contain one or more asymmetric carbon atoms the invention includes all diastereoisomers of compounds of formula (I) and mixtures thereof. Otherwise the stereochemical configuration of compounds of the invention is as depicted in formula (I) above.
As used herein, the term “alkyl” means a straight or branched chain alkyl group. Examples of suitable alkyl groups within R
1
and R
2
include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl and 2,2-dimethylpropyl.
As used herein, the term “alkylene” means a straight or branched chain alkylene group containing 1-6 carbon atoms, e.g. methylene.
As used herein, the term “C
2-6
alkenyl” means a straight or branched chain alkenyl group containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms. Allyl represents an example of a suitable C
2-6
alkenyl group.
The term “halogen” means fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine.
By aliphatic heterocyclic group is meant a cyclic group of 4-6 carbon atoms wherein one or more of the carbon atoms is/are replaced by heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur. This group may optionally be substituted as defined hereinabove.
The term heterocyclic aromatic group refers to an aromatic mono or bicyclic ring system comprising from 5 to 10 carbon atoms wherein one or more of the carbon atoms is/are replaced by heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, which ring system may optionally be substituted as defined hereinabove.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of formula (I) include those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic and organic acids. Examples of suitable acids include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric, nitric, perchloric, fumaric, maleic, phosphoric, glycollic, lactic, salicylic, succinic, toluene-p-sulphonic, tartaric, acetic, citric, methanesulphonic, formic, benzoic, malonic, naphthalene-2-sulphonic and benzenesulphonic acids. A particularly suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compounds of formula (I) is the hydrochloride salt. Other acids such as oxalic, while not, in themselves pharmaceutically acceptable, may be useful as intermediates in obtaining the compounds of the invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts. The solvates may be, for example, hydrates.
