FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to substituted pyrrole-2-yl-carboxamides bearing a fluorinated methyl moiety in 5-position as voltage gated Ca-channel (CaV) blockers, to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and also to these compounds for use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of pain and further diseases and/or disorders. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Ion channels are proteins that form pores in membranes of biological cells and control the flow of ions down their electrochemical gradient. They are involved in the regulation of a wide range of cellular functions in both excitable and nonexcitable cells and provide attractive therapeutic targets for the treatment of various diseases.
In the somatosensory context, CaV2.2 channels, specific cellular plasma membrane calcium channels that belong to a diverse superfamily of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), were demonstrated to play an important role in spinal nociceptive processing. The critical role of CaV2.2 in pain processing was underlined by the clinical efficacy of the intrathecally delivered, selective CaV2.2 channel antagonist Ziconotide (SNX-1 1 ; Prialt™), a synthetic peptide derived from a io-(omega)-conotoxin peptide (Miljanich, 2004, Curr. Med. Chem. , 11(23), p. 3029-40; Staats et al., 2004, JAMA, 291(1 ), p. 63-70). Inthrathecal administration of Ziconotide is required in order to reach the ion channel in presynaptic terminals of sensory neurons in the spinal cord. Common side effects of Ziconotide include memory impairment, dizziness, nystagmus, speech disorder, nervousness, somnolence and abnormal gait (Rauck et al., 2009, Pain Pract., 9, p. 327-37), which have been attributed to the inhibition of CaV2.2 channels in the brain by Ziconotide.
Therefore, a demand remains for the development of orally available CaV2.2 calcium channel blockers that show the desired qualities and effectively block CaV2.2 calcium channels in the nociceptive signaling pathway.
1 ,4-disubstituted pyrrol-2-yl carboxylic acid amides are known from WO2007/141039 A1 . SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention describes small molecule CaV2.2 channel blockers.
It was therefore an object of the invention to provide novel compounds, preferably having advantages over the prior-art compounds. The compounds should be suitable in particular as pharmacological active ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions, preferably in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of disorders or diseases which are at least partially mediated by CaV2.2 calcium channels.
This object is achieved by the subject matter described herein.
It has surprisingly been found that the compounds of general formula (I), as given below, display outstanding affinity to CaV2.2 calcium channels and are therefore particularly suitable for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of disorders or diseases which are at least partially mediated by CaV2.2 calcium channels. A specific substitution in 5-position of the pyrrol (R 4 ) render these compounds particularly suitable for the purpose of the invention.

The compounds according to the invention are defined by substituents, for example by R 1 , R 2 and R 3 (1 st generation substituents) which are for their part if appropriate themselves substituted (2 nd generation substituents). Depending on the definition, these substituents of the substituents can for their part be resubstituted (3 rd generation substituents). If, for example, R 1 = a C^-alky! (1 st generation substituent), then the C^e-alkyl can for its part be substituted, for example with a NH- C^e-alkyl (2 nd generation substituent). This produces the functional group R 1 = (C^e-alkyl-NH-C^e-alkyl). The NH-d_
6- alkyl can then for its part be resubstituted, for example with CI (3 rd generation substituent). Overall, this produces the functional group R 1 = d-e-alkyl-NH-d-e-alkyl, wherein the d -e -alkyl of the NH-d. 6 - alkyl is substituted by CI. However, in a preferred embodiment, the 3 rd generation substituents may not be resubstituted, i.e. there are then no 4 th generation substituents. If a residue occurs multiply within a molecule, then this residue can have respectively different meanings for various substituents: if, for example, both R 1 and R 2 denote a 3 to 10 membered he ' terocyclyl, then the 3 to 10 membered heterocyclyl can e.g. represent morpholinyl for R 1 and can represent piperazinyl for R 2 .
Within the scope of the present invention, the symbols ? or used in the formulae denotes a link of a corresponding residue to the respective superordinate general structure.

Step 1 : Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-5-(trifluoromethvn-1 H-Dyrrole-2-carboxylateThe reaction was performed under nitrogen. A solution of ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1 H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate [step 2, PY-1] (5.69 g, 21.6 mmol) in DMF (100 mL) was prepared, powdered FeS0 4 -7H 2 0 (3.60 g, 13.0 mmol) was added, followed by trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride (4.59 mL, 43.2 mmol). An ice/H 2 0 bath was applied. Subsequently, 35% aqueous H 2 0 2 (5.67 mL, 64.7 mmol) was added dropwise over 45 min. The mixture was stirred at 10 °C for 40 min. The reaction mixture was poured out in ice/H 2 0 (500 mL) and stirred for 20 min. The solid was filtered off, washed with H 2 0 (3x50 mL) and dried. The residue was mixed with heptane (10 mL), adding DCM (around 30 mL) and warming was necessary to dissolve all material. Crystals were formed on cooling to RT. The volume was reduced at 600 mbar/ 40°C to around 25 mL. The resulting clear solution was cooled to RT slowly. The crystals were filtered off and washed with heptane//-Pr 2 0 (1 :1 , 20 mL).

Addition of EtOAc (0.4 mL) and warming resulted in a clear solution, which was mixed with heptane (6 mL, 1 mL portions) to result in a precipitate. Filtration provided a residue and a filtrate. The residue was discarded. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, dissolved in heptane/DCM (1 :1 , 1 mL) and used for flash chromatography (silica, gradient heptane/EtOAc, 98:2→ 80:20) to arrive at 140 mg (77%) of the desired product as a colourless oil.

2. Assay Descriptions and Biological Data:
2.1 Fluorescent assay for CaV2.2 channels using potassium depolarization to induce channel opening
Human CaV2.2 channels were stably expressed in HEK293 cells together with alpha2-delta and beta subunits of voltage gated calcium channels. In addition, an inwardly rectifying potassium channel (Kir2.3) was stably expressed in these cells to augment control of the cell membrane potential by the concentration of extracellular potassium ions. Raise of the extracellular potassium concentration leads to depolarization of the membrane potential and thus regulates the voltage dependent state of CaV2.2 channels. For preparation, cells were seeded in black poly-D-lysine coated 96-well plates (Becton Dickinson, Biocoat 4640) in 100 μί. medium [500 mL DMEM/F-12 plus Glutamax (Invitrogen 31331 - 093) plus 5.5 mL MEM NEAA 100x (Invitrogen 1 1 140-035) plus 50 mL FBS decomplemented (Invitrogen 10270-106) plus 200 μg/mL Geneticin (Invitrogen 10 31 -027) plus 50 pg/nriL Hygromycin B (Invitrogen 10687-010) plus 2 μg/mL Blasticidin (anti-bl5b Invivo-Gen) plus 0.2 μg/mL Puromycin (A 1 1 138-03)] at a cell density of 30.000 cells per well. Plates were incubated at 37°C (5% C0 2 ) for 20 to 23 h. On the day of experiment medium was discarded and cells were loaded with Fluo 4 by addition of 100 μΐ of basic assay buffer (10 mM HEPES, 1 mM KCI, 149 mM NaCI, 0.8 mM CaCI 2 , 1 .7 mM MgCI 2 , 10 mM Glucose, 0.1 % BSA. pH 7.4) containing 2 μΜ Fluo 4 (Molecular Probes; F-14201 ), 0.01 % pluronic acid (Molecular Probes; P-6866) and 2.5 mM probenecid (Molecular Probes; P36400). Cells were incubated in the dark at 25°C for 60 min. Then dye containing buffer was discarded and 100 JL basic (1 mM KCI) or alternative (30 mM KCI) assay buffer was added. The alternative assay buffer contained altered concentrations of KCI (30 mM) and NaCI (120 mM) and was used in order to promote the inactivated channel state. After that 25 μί of basic or alternative assay buffer with or without test compound were added and cells were incubated again in the dark at 25°C for 15 min. Fluorescence intensity was measured on a FLIPR 3 instrument (Molecular Devices Corp., Sunnyvale, CA) with excitation at 480 nm and emission at 535 nm. After continuously reading fluorescence for 30 sec, 50 pL of basic assay buffer containing 210 mM KCI (NaCI omitted) were added for depolarization. Peak fluorescent signal intensity was determined and the amplitude of the peak signal, normalized to base line, was used to measure channel inhibition by test compounds.
The following table summarizes the inhibitory activity of exemplified compounds according to the present invention.
* %-lnhib (CaV2.2) @3μΜ @30m KCI: "A": %-lnhibition > 95 %; "B": %-lnhibition > 75 % up to≤ 95 %; "C": %-lnhibition > 40 % up to < 75 %, "D": %-lnhibition > 30 % up to < 40 %.
2.2 Electrophysiological assessment of calcium channel activity
Patch-clamp recordings were performed using HEK293 cells stably expressing human Cav2.2. Cells were plated in T150 flasks and grown a humidified incubator at 37°C and under 5% C0 2 to approximately 50-60% confluency. Cells were maintained at 30°C for 48 hrs prior to recording. On the day of the experiment, cells were harvested with TrypLE cell detachment solution (Invitrogen) diluted to 25% with phosphate buffered saline and maintained in 50% cell culture media, 50% NaCI based external saline (in mM, 140 NaCI, 4 KCI, 1 MgCI 2 , 2 CaCI 2 , 5 Glucose, 10 HEPES, pH 7.4) up to several hours prior to experiment.
Currents were recorded at room temperature (21 -23°C) using the Patchliner planar array technology (Nanion). Patchliner is a multi-well whole-cell automated patch clamp device that operates asynchronously with fully integrated fluidics. Capacitance and series resistance compensation was auto- mated and no correction for liquid junction potential was employed. Leak was subtracted on-line. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were obtained using extracellular saline consisting of (mM): 145 TEA-CI, 10 BaCI 2 , 10 HEPES, 10 Glucose. The pH was adjusted to 7.35 with NaOH and the osmolarity was adjusted to 310 mOsm with sucrose. Intracellular solution consisted of (mM): 50 CsCI, 60 CsF, 10 NaCI, 20 EGTA, 5 BAPTA, 10 HEPES. Prior to an experiment, 5 mM MgATP and 0.3 NaGTP were added, the pH was adjusted to 7.2 with CsOH and the osmolarity was adjusted to 290 mOsm with sucrose.
A voltage pulse protocol was utilised to assess compound inhibition. Cells were held at a holding potential of -60 mV and channels were activated using a 10 ms test pulse to +30 mV activated every 10 seconds (0.1 Hz). Increasing concentrations of compound were applied to individual cells with 5 minutes at each test concentration. Compounds were prepared in DMSO as 10 mM stock solutions and subsequent 1 :3 serial dilutions performed. Final dilution of 1 :1000 in external solution resulted in a final DMSO concentration of 0.1 %. For each cell, current responses were normalised to dimethyl sulfoxide vehicle control to generate concentration-response curves. When multiple doses were achieved per cell, IC50 values were calculated from the fits of the Hill equation to the data. The form of the Hill equation used was: Relative current = (100/(1 +(IC50/conc) A Slope)). A selection of the foregoing exemplified compounds was tested under these conditions: Several compounds are potent inhibitors (IC50 < 5 μΜ) or even very potent inhibitors (IC50 < 2 μΜ).
