The present invention relates to ion channel activating agents. More particularly, the present invention relates to a particular class of chemical compounds that has proven useful as openers of SKCa and IKCa channels. In further aspects, the present invention relates to the use of these SK/IK channel activating agents for the manufacture of medicaments and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the SK/IK channel activating agents. The SK/IK channel activating agents of the invention are useful for the treatment or alleviation of diseases and conditions associated with the SK/IK channels, in particular respiratory diseases such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and rhinorrhea, convulsions, vascular spasms, coronary artery spasms, renal disorders, polycystic kidney disease, bladder spasms, urinary incontinence, bladder outflow obstruction, irritable bowel syndrome, gastrointestinal dysfunction, secretory diarrhea, ischaemia, cerebral ischaemia, ischaemic heart disease, angina pectoris, coronary heart disease, traumatic brain injury, psychosis, anxiety, depression, dementia, memory and attention deficits, Alzheimer's disease, dysmenorrhea, narcolepsy, Reynaud's disease, intermittent claudication, Sjorgren's syndrome, migraine, arrhythmia, hypertension, absence seizures, myotonic muscle dystrophia, xerostomi, diabetes type II, hyperinsulinemia, premature labor, baldness, cancer, and immune suppression.
本发明涉及离子通道激活剂。更具体地,本发明涉及一类特定的化学化合物,已被证明可作为SKCa和IKCa通道的开放剂。在进一步的方面,本发明涉及使用这些SK/IK通道激活剂制造药物和药物组合物。本发明的SK/IK通道激活剂对于治疗或缓解与SK/IK通道相关的疾病和症状具有用处,特别是呼吸道疾病,如哮喘、囊性纤维化、慢性阻塞性肺疾病和流涕、惊厥、血管痉挛、冠状动脉痉挛、肾脏疾病、多囊肾病、膀胱痉挛、尿失禁、膀胱出口梗阻、肠易激综合症、胃肠功能障碍、分泌性腹泻、缺血、脑缺血、缺血性心脏病、心绞痛、冠心病、创伤性脑损伤、精神病、焦虑、抑郁症、痴呆、记忆和注意力缺陷、阿尔茨海默病、痛经、嗜睡病、雷诺氏病、间歇性跛行、Sjogren综合症、偏头痛、心律失常、高血压、失神发作、肌萎缩性肌病、口干症、2型糖尿病、高胰岛素血症、早产、秃发、癌症和免疫抑制等。
