Description

The present invention relates to compounds for the use in the treatment or prevention of pain in mammals, notably in humans, as well as a method for preparing these compounds.

Analgesics used today are old products and several of them date from the 19th century. Morphine is the reference analgesic for pains by nociception excesses.

However, morphine may be at the origin of multiple undesirable effects such as sleepiness, respiratory depression, nauseas, vomiting, convulsions, miosis, constipation or further dry mouth feeling.

Thus, the discovering of new anti-pain agents with at least equivalent effectiveness or even superior than morphine and without any undesirable effects is a major research objective for many teams worldwide.

Document WO 2011/033241 describes the use of potassium channel activators, notably TREK channels, as analgesic agents. However, the document does not give any indications for the compounds that may exhibit such an activity.

Cinnamyl 3,4-dihydroxy-α-cyanocinnamate or CDC, as well as its potential use as neuro- or cardio-protective agents, was described as an activator of TREK-1 channels (Sanjay et al., Mol. Pharmacol., 2004, 65, 599-610). However this document does not describe any analgesic activity of CDC.

Thus, a first object of the invention consists of proposing anti-pain compounds which get rid of the drawbacks of the state of the art and which provide a solution to all or part of the problems of the state of the art.

Another object is to propose anti-pain compounds for which the effectiveness for treating pain, notably pains by nociception excesses, is equivalent to, or even superior than the presently available compounds, notably morphine, while suppressing or limiting the risks of undesirable effects.

Another object of the invention is to propose anti-pain compounds which may be combined with other anti-pain agents, such as morphine, thereby reducing the risks of secondary effects related to their use.

The object of the invention is a compound of formula (A):

By chronic pains, are meant pains, the duration of which may be of several months, or even of several years. They may accompany inflammatory or neuropathic pathologies.

By neuropathic pains, are meant pains related to peripheral or central lesions. These pains are related to malfunction of the mechanisms for controlling nociceptive messages and may be classified according to 2 types:

    • peripheral neuropathic pains may be caused by medicinal treatment, for example by alkaloids of periwinkle (vinorelbine) used in the treatment of cancers.
    • central neuropathic pains caused by spinal or traumatic damages, for example a lesion at the brain.

These pains may last for a long time after the repairing of the damaged tissues and may therefore become chronic pains.

By visceral pains, are meant pains essentially with a hypernociceptive nature, which may originate in the skin area. They may be accompanied by hyperalgesia of the skin and of the deep tissues, by tonic muscular contractions and intense emotional reactions.

By cancer pains, are meant the pains which develop in a cancer context, associating both a nociception excess related to cancer development and a neuropathic component, related to dysfunction of the peripheral nervous system consecutive to lesional invasion or to treatments.

By pains by dysfunction of the sympathetic system, are meant pains expressed both as an excess of nociception, of signs suggestive of a neuropathic component but also of sympathetic perturbations.

By psychical pains, are meant pains accompanying mental pathologies, such as for example depression or schizophrenia.

Within the scope of the present invention, the compound of formula (A) may be incorporated into a pharmaceutical composition.

Thus, the object of the invention is also a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (A) and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The whole of the characteristics or preferences shown for the compound of formula (A) also apply to the composition according to the invention.

By pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, is meant any solvent, dispersion medium or additives which does not produce any secondary reaction, for example an allergic reaction, in humans or in animals. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may notably be selected according to the administration route, for example an oral, sub-lingual, nasal, buccal, rectal or parenteral route (i.e. intravenous, sub-cutaneous, intra-dermal or intra-muscular route). The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is preferentially selected for an oral or parenteral administration route.

The dose depends on factors such as the administration method, the nature of the pain, the age, the weight and the health condition of the patient.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a kit comprising:

    • a first composition comprising a compound of formula (A),
    • a second composition comprising an anti-pain agent.

The whole of the characteristics or preferences shown for the compound of formula (A) also applies to the kit according to the invention.

The anti-pain agents used in the kit according to the invention may be selected from analgesic agents of level 1 to 3 according to the classification of the World Health Organization.

Analgesics of level 1 are peripheral analgesics against weak or moderate pains, such as paracetamol, aspirin, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories.

Analgesics of level 2 are weak central analgesics against moderate to severe pains, which may correspond to associations between analgesics of level 1 and weaker opioid analgesics, such as tradamol.

Analgesics of level 3 are strong central analgesics against very severe and stubborn pains, such as strong opioids (morphine, pethadine, dextromoramide) and antagonists (pentazocine, nalbuphine).

According to the invention, the compositions may be administered at the same time, simultaneously or extemporaneously to the patient.

Thus, the use of the kit according to the invention gives the possibility of obtaining an equivalent anti-pain effectiveness, or even greater than the one obtained by isolated administration of the anti-pain agent, while reducing the risks of secondary effects relating to their use.
