The present invention relates to heteroarylacrylamides of the formula I,
in which Het, X, Ra, Rb, R1, R2 and R3 have the meanings indicated in the claims, which modulate the transcription of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase and are valuable pharmacologically active compounds. Specifically, the compounds of the formula I upregulate the expression of the enzyme endothelial NO synthase and can be applied in conditions in which an increased expression of said enzyme or an increased NO level or the normalization of a decreased NO level is desired. The invention further relates to processes for the preparation of compounds of the formula I, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and to the use of compounds of the formula I for the manufacture of a medicament for the stimulation of the expression of endothelial NO synthase or for the treatment of various diseases including cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, coronary artery disease, hypertension and cardiac insufficiency, for example.
本发明涉及公式I的杂环基丙烯酰胺,其中Het、X、Ra、Rb、R1、R2和R3具有声明中所指示的含义,这些化合物调节内皮一氧化氮(NO)合酶的转录并且是有价值的药理活性化合物。具体地,公式I的化合物上调内皮一氧化氮合酶的表达,并可应用于需要增加该酶的表达或增加NO水平或者正常化降低的NO水平的情况。本发明还涉及制备公式I的化合物的过程,包括它们的制药组成物以及公式I的化合物用于制造刺激内皮一氧化氮合酶表达或治疗各种疾病,包括心血管疾病,如动脉粥样硬化、血栓形成、冠状动脉疾病、高血压和心脏衰竭等的药物的用途。
