[00227] In another embodiment there is provided a compound selected from any one of the Examples herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. [00228] In another embodiment there is provided a compound selected from Table 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. In particular there is provided a compound selected from Table 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: Table 1
[00229] The “Exemplary salts” in Table 1 represent one example of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound shown in the table. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds are also included, for example any of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts disclosed herein. [00230] Also provided is any one of the Examples disclosed herein. Pharmaceutical Compositions [00231] In accordance with another aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention, except the compounds of the formulae (A) and (B) are not excluded, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. [00232] Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable pharmaceutical compositions are described in, for example, "Pharmaceuticals - The Science of Dosage Form Designs", M. E. Aulton, Churchill Livingstone, 1988. [00233] The compositions of the invention may be in a form suitable for oral use (for example as tablets, lozenges, hard or soft capsules, aqueous or oily suspensions, emulsions, dispersible powders or granules, syrups or elixirs), for topical use (for example as creams, ointments, gels, or aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions), for administration by inhalation (for example as a finely divided powder or a liquid aerosol), for administration by insufflation (for example as a finely divided powder) or for parenteral administration (for example as a sterile aqueous or oily solution for intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular or intraperitoneal dosing or as a suppository for rectal dosing). [00234] The compositions of the invention may be obtained by conventional procedures using conventional pharmaceutical excipients, well known in the art. Thus, compositions intended for oral use may contain, for example, one or more colouring, sweetening, flavouring and/or preservative agents. [00235] An effective amount of a compound of the present invention for use in therapy of a condition is an amount sufficient to symptomatically relieve in a warm-blooded animal, particularly a human the symptoms of the condition or to slow the progression of the condition. [00236] The amount of active ingredient that is combined with one or more excipients to produce a single dosage form will necessarily vary depending upon the host treated and the particular route of administration. For example, a formulation intended for oral administration to humans will generally contain, for example, from 0.1 mg to 0.5 g of active agent (more suitably from 0.5 to 100 mg, for example from 1 to 30 mg) compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount of excipients which may vary from about 5 to about 98 percent by weight of the total composition. [00237] The size of the dose for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes of a compound of the invention will naturally vary according to the nature and severity of the conditions, the age and sex of the animal or patient and the route of administration, according to well- known principles of medicine. [00238] In using a compound of the invention for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes it will generally be administered so that a daily dose in the range, for example, a daily dose selected from 0.05 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg to 75mg/kg, 1 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to 5 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to 2 mg/kg or 0.1 mg/kg to 1 mg/kg body weight is received, given if required in divided doses. In general lower doses will be administered when a parenteral route is employed. Thus, for example, for intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular or intraperitoneal administration, a dose in the range, for example, 0.05 mg/kg to 30 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to 30 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to 5 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg to 2 mg/kg or 0.1 mg/kg to 1 mg/kg body weight will generally be used. Similarly, for administration by inhalation, a dose in the range, for example, 0.05 mg/kg to 25 mg/kg body weight will be used. Suitably the compound of the invention is administered orally, for example in the form of a tablet, or capsule dosage form. The daily dose administered orally may be, for example a total daily dose selected from 1 mg to 1000 mg, 5 mg to 1000 mg, 10 mg to 750 mg, 25 mg to 500 mg, 1 mg to 100 mg, 5 mg to 75 mg, or 10 mg to 50 mg. Typically, unit dosage forms will contain about 0.5 mg to 0.5 g of a compound of this invention. In a particular embodiment the compound of the invention is administered parenterally, for example by intravenous administration. In another particular embodiment the compound of the invention is administered orally. [00239] The compounds of the invention may be administered at a dosage interval of, for example, once every hour, once every 2 hours, once every 4 hours, once every 6 hours, once every 8 hours, or once every 12 hours. In some embodiments the compound is administered once per day, twice per day, three times per day, four times per day, once every 2 days, or once per week. Suitably the compound of the invention is administered once or twice per day. [00240] Regular dosing of the compound of the invention may provide a cumulative, and sustained analgesic effect. The Examples herein show that a single injection of a compound of the invention results in analgesia, but the analgesic effect reduces towards the baseline level within a few hours of administration. Regular repeated dosing of a compound of the invention may provide a cumulative and sustained analgesic effect as illustrated in Examples 137 and 138 herein. The cumulative effect on analgesia provided by the compounds of the invention may enable the compound to be administered at a dose which is lower than the dose required to give a full analgesic effect administered as a single bolus dose. Accordingly, regular administration of a low dose of a compound of the invention may provide a greater therapeutic window between analgesia and undesirable side-effects which might be associated with higher doses, for example bradycardia or tremors. [00241] In certain embodiments a compound of the invention is administered regularly so as to provide a plasma concentration of 10% to 120% of the analgesic ED50 for the compound. For example the compound may be administered at a dose which provides from 10% to 100%, from 10% to 80%, from 10% to 60%, from 15% to 50%, from 20% to 50%, from 25% to 50% or from 25% to 45% of the analgesic ED50 of the compound. The regular dosage interval may be, for example, any of the dosage intervals set out above. THERAPEUTIC USES AND APPLICATIONS [00242] In accordance with another aspect, the present invention provides a compound of the invention, except the compounds of the formulae (A) and (B) are not excluded, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition of the invention, for use as a medicament. [00243] A further aspect of the invention provides a compound of the invention, except the compounds of the formulae (A) and (B) are not excluded, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition of the invention, for use in the treatment of a disease or medical condition mediated by hyperpolarisation activated cyclic-nucleotide modulated ion channel 2 (HCN2). [00244] Also provided is the use of a compound of the invention, except the compounds of the formulae (A) and (B) are not excluded, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition of the invention, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a disease or medical condition mediated by HCN2. [00245] Also provided is a method of treating a disease or medical condition mediated by HCN2 in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of: (i) a compound of the invention, except the compounds of the formulae (A) and (B) are not excluded, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; or (ii) a pharmaceutical composition of the invention. [00246] The conditions mediated by HCN2 may be, for example, any of the conditions disclosed herein. [00247] In some embodiments in the therapeutic uses and applications described herein the compound of the invention is not a compound of the formula (A) or formula (B). [00248] The compounds of the invention are HCN2 inhibitors, useful in the treatment of a conditions in which inhibition of HCN2 ion channels is beneficial. As discussed in the Background to the Invention, the disclosure of which is incorporated into the main description, HCN4 is highly expressed in cardiac tissue and is the major regulator of cardiac pacemaking. Inhibition of HCN4 induces bradycardia and deletion of HCN4 in mice, either globally, or locally in the heart, is lethal. Accordingly, compounds which significantly inhibit HCN4 in addition to HCN2 would not be suitable as a chronic treatment, for example as an analgesic used for the chronic treatment of pain. Preferred compounds of the invention selectively inhibit HCN2 over HCN4. HCN2 selective compounds are expected to reduce or eliminate the risks of undesirable cardiac side-effects associated with the use of a compound of the invention as a medicament for the treatment of conditions mediated by HCN2. In preferred embodiments a compound of the invention exhibits an IC 50 in the HCN2 assay described herein (see Example 126) which is at least 2 times, for example at least 5 times, at least 10 times, or at least 20 times lower than the IC 50 of the same compound measured in the HCN4 assay described herein (see Example 126). [00249] HCN1 channels are also expressed in cardiac tissue and are associated with cardiac function. Accordingly, preferred compounds of the invention selectively inhibit HCN2 over HCN1. In some embodiments a compound of the invention exhibits an IC 50 in the HCN2 assay described herein (see Example 126) which is at least 2 times, for example at least 5 times, at least 10 times or at least 20 times lower than the IC 50 of the same compound measured in the HCN1 assay described herein (see Example 126). [00250] The voltage-gated Na + channel Na v 1.5 is found predominantly in cardiac muscle. It initiates the cardiac action potential in the heart and is essential for conduction of the electrical impulse, as well as the action potential duration. In preferred embodiments a compound of the invention selectively inhibits HCN2 over Na v 1.5. In some embodiments a compound of the invention exhibits an IC 50 in the HCN2 assay described herein (see Example 126) which is at least 2 times, for example at least 5 times, at least 10 times, at least 20 times or at least 50 times lower than the IC 50 of the same compound measured in the Na v 1.5 assay described herein (see Example 128). [00251] It is well known that drugs which inhibit the hERG potassium channel in the hearts can result in delayed ventricular repolarization (QT interval prolongation). Preferred compounds of the invention are those with a low hERG liability. In some embodiments a compound of the invention exhibits an IC 50 in the HCN2 assay described herein which is at least 2 times, for example at least 5 times, at least 10 times or at least 20 times lower than the IC 50 of the same compound measured in the hERG assay described herein (see Example 127). [00252] Accordingly, in preferred embodiments a compound of the invention has a high therapeutic window between the concentration required for inhibition of HCN2 and ion channels associated with cardiac function. In some embodiments compounds of the invention are selective for HCN2 over one or more of HCN4, HCN1, Nav1.5 or hERG. In particular embodiments preferred compounds of the invention selectively inhibit HCN2 over HCN4 and/or HNC1. [00253] HCN2 channels are widely expressed in the brain and significant inhibition of HCN2 in the brain could induce undesirable CNS side-effects such as tremors or ataxia. In preferred embodiments, compounds of the invention are peripherally restricted HCN2 inhibitors such that when present at therapeutically effective concentrations in peripheral tissues, only low levels of the compound are present in the brain at a concentration below that necessary to induce undesirable CNS associated side effects. In some embodiments the compound of the invention is a substrate for the transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp). P-gp substrates are generally effluxed at the brain endothelium. Accordingly, compounds which are P-gp substrates are expected to exhibit low concentrations in brain tissue. In some embodiments a compound of the invention has a high efflux ratio when measured in the MDCK-MDR1 permeability assay described herein (see Example 129). The MDCK-MDR1 assay described in Example 129 run in the absence and presence of a P-gp inhibitor can be used to identify compounds having the potential to be peripherally restricted. A net flux value >5 (i.e. efflux ratio without inhibitor divided by efflux ratio plus inhibitor) is indicative of compounds being substrates for the transporter P-gp and would therefore have a greater likelihood of being restricted from the CNS (i.e. compounds with low CNS penetration). In some embodiments a compound of the invention with low CNS penetration has a net flux of 5 or more, for example 10 or more, 15 or more, or 20 or more when measured in the MDCK- MDR1 permeability assay described herein. Compounds of the invention which exhibit low CNS penetration following administration, are referred to herein as “peripherally restricted compounds” or “peripherally restricted HCN2 inhibitors”. [00254] In the following sections of the application reference is made to a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for use in the treatment of certain diseases or conditions. It is to be understood that any reference herein to a compound for a particular use is also intended to be a reference to (i) the use of the compound of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of that disease or condition; and (ii) a method of treating the disease or condition in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. [00255] The disease or medical condition mediated by HCN2 may be any of the diseases or medical conditions listed in this application. Pain [00256] In some embodiments a compound of the invention is for use in the treatment or prevention of pain generally, including, but not limited to NP and IP. Neuropathic Pain [00257] In some embodiments a compound of the invention is for use in the treatment or prevention of neuropathic pain.

[00259] In some embodiments a compound of the invention is for use in the prevention or relief of one or more of the symptoms of NP, for example dysesthesia (spontaneous or evoked burning pain, often with a superimposed lancinating component), deep pain, aching pain, hyperesthesia, hyperalgesia, allodynia and hyperpathia. Inflammatory Pain [00260] In some embodiments a compound of the invention is for use in the treatment or prevention of inflammatory pain. In some embodiments the pain is chronic inflammatory pain. In some embodiments the pain is acute inflammatory pain. In some embodiments a compound of the invention is for use in the treatment or prevention of inflammatory pain, especially chronic inflammatory pain, resulting from or associated with one or more of: inflammatory bowel disease, visceral pain, post-operative pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, lower back pain, joint pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, labour, musculoskeletal diseases, skin diseases, toothache, pyresis, burn, sunburn, animal or insect bite or sting, neurogenic bladder, interstitial cystitis, urinary tract infection, rhinitis, dermatitis including contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis, pharyngitis, mucositis, enteritis, irritable bowel syndrome, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, postmastectomy pain syndrome, menstrual pain, endometriosis, sinus headache, tension headache, or arachnoiditis. [00261] In some embodiments a compound of the invention is for use in the treatment of inflammatory hyperalgesia, including inflammatory somatic hyperalgesia or inflammatory visceral hyperalgesia. Inflammatory somatic hyperalgesia can be characterized by the presence of an inflammatory hyperalgesic state in which a hypersensitivity to thermal, mechanical and/or chemical stimuli exists. Inflammatory visceral hyperalgesia can also be characterized by the presence of an inflammatory hyperalgesic state, in which an enhanced visceral irritability exists. Tinnitus [00262] As set out in the Background to the Invention, and illustrated in the Examples, the inventors have for the first time shown that tinnitus can be treated using an HCN2 inhibitor in animal models. The Examples suggest that the effects observed are applicable to any HCN2 inhibitor and are not limited to a compound of the invention. [00263] In one embodiment of the invention there is provided an HCN2 inhibitor for use in the treatment of tinnitus or a related condition. In a preferred embodiment the HCN2 inhibitor is a compound of the invention. Accordingly there is provided a compound of the invention, except the compounds of Formulae (A) and (B) are not excluded, for use in the prevention or treatment of tinnitus or a related condition. [00264] Ivabradine is a peripherally restricted compound, with pan-HCN inhibitory action. The Examples herein show that despite being peripherally restricted the compound successfully treated tinnitus. Similar results were obtained using a peripherally restrictive compound of the invention. The experiments therefore suggest that tinnitus may be treated without the need for CNS penetration, thereby avoiding undesirable side effects that might be associated with HCN2 inhibition in the CNS such as tremors or ataxia. [00265] Accordingly, also provided is a peripherally restricted HCN2 inhibitor for use in the treatment of tinnitus or a related condition. In some embodiments the peripherally restricted HCN2 inhibitor is a peripherally restricted HCN2 inhibitor, for example ivabradine. In preferred embodiments the peripherally restricted HCN2 inhibitor is peripherally restricted compound of the invention. [00266] Tinnitus may occur as objective tinnitus, or subjective tinnitus. Subjective tinnitus is the most common type of tinnitus. Subjective tinnitus, also known as sensorineural tinnitus can only be heard by the affected person. Objective tinnitus, on the other hand, can be detected by other people and is usually caused by myoclonus or a vascular condition, although in some cases, tinnitus is generated by a self-sustained oscillation within the ear. In preferred embodiments the HCN2 inhibitor (preferably a compound of the invention) is for use in the treatment of subjective tinnitus. The tinnitus may be acute tinnitus, however, in preferred embodiments the tinnitus is chronic tinnitus, for example tinnitus that persists for more than 2 weeks, more than 1 month or more than 6 months. [00267] In some embodiments the HCN2 inhibitor (preferably a compound of the invention) is for use in the treatment or prevention of tinnitus caused by or associated with one of more of: exposure to loud noise; presbyacusis (hearing loss); ear or head injuries, ear infections; tumours which impact on auditory nerves; Ménière's disease; cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease; hyperthyroidism; hypothyroidism; side-effects of a drug therapy (for example salicylates (including mesalamine or aspirin), particularly when taken in high doses), quinine anti-malarial agents, aminoglycoside antibiotics, chemotherapy (including, but not limited to platinum cytotoxic agents (e.g. cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin)) or loop diuretics (e.g. furosemide, ethacrynic acid and torsemide); or an auditory dysfunction (e.g. hyperacusis, distortion of sounds, misophonia, phonophobia and central auditory processing disorders). [00268] In some embodiments the HCN2 inhibitor (preferably a compound of the invention) is for use in the treatment or prevention of tinnitus, Ménière's disease or hyperacusis. In some embodiments the HCN2 inhibitor is for use in the treatment or prevention of tinnitus or Ménière's disease. In a particular embodiment there is provided a compound of the invention, except the compounds of the formulae A and B are not excluded for use in the treatment or prevention of tinnitus. Migraine [00269] The debilitating pain of migraine imposes a significant personal and economic burden. Actual or potential promise as therapeutics in migraine is shown by the triptan family, by the “gepant” family of antagonists to the CGRP receptor and by monoclonal antibodies against CGRP, amongst others. All have significant disadvantages, including the promotion of medication overuse headaches by triptans, liver toxicity in gepants and the need for regular injection of monoclonals. However, a significant fraction of migraine patients do not achieve relief with these treatments. There remains a need for new treatments for migraine. [00270] Triptans are agonists at 5HT1B/D receptors, which couple to Gi/o and therefore inhibit production of cAMP5 (Alexander et al., Br. J. Pharmacol.174 Suppl.1, S17-S129, (2017)). The receptor for CGRP, which is emerging as a critical mediator of migraine, couples to Gs and therefore increases cAMP (Alexander et al. supra). These considerations suggest that cAMP in trigeminal nociceptive afferents innervating the meninges and dura may be a critical downstream mediator of migraine (Schytz et al., Curr. Opin. Neurol.23, 259-265, (2010)). [00271] As discussed herein, it has been shown that the HCN2 ion channel isoform, whose activation is potentiated by cAMP, promotes firing in nociceptive afferent neurons and, as a result, is a critical final effector of pain in animal models of nerve injury pain, of chemotherapy-induced pain and of painful diabetic neuropathy ((Tsantoulas, et al., Sci Transl Med 9, eaam6072, (2017); Tsantoulas et al., Biochem J 473, 2717-2736, 2016); Young et al., Pain 155, 1708-1719, (2014); and Emery et al., Science 333, 1462-1466, (2011)). Accordingly, HCN2 ion channels may be a critical downstream mediator of migraine pain. A HCN2 inhibitor may be useful in the treatment or prevention of migraine, particularly in the treatment or prevention of migraine pain. [00272] In certain embodiments there is provided an HCN2 inhibitor for use in the prevention or treatment of migraine. In certain embodiments there is provided an HCN2 inhibitor for use in the treatment or prevention of migraine pain. In a preferred embodiment the HCN2 inhibitor is a compound of the invention. Accordingly there is provided a compound of the invention, except the compounds of Formulae (A) and (B) are not excluded, for use in the prevention or treatment of migraine. Also provided is a compound of the invention, except the compounds of Formulae (A) and (B) are not excluded, for use in the prevention or treatment of migraine pain. Treatment of Specific Pain Syndromes and Conditions [00273] In certain embodiments a compound of the invention is for use in the treatment of a condition selected from: painful diabetic neuropathy; migraine rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), pain associated with long-term use of opioids (Opioid-induced hyperalgesia, OIH), cancer-associated bone pain and fibromyalgia (FMS, fibromyalgia syndrome). Subjects [00274] A compound of the invention may be for use in the treatment of a human or animal subject affected by any of the medical conditions disclosed herein. The subject may be a warm-blooded mammal such as a farm animal (e.g. cow, sheep or pig) or a companion animal or pet (e.g. a dog, cat or horse). Preferably, the subject is a human. Combination Therapies [00275] The methods of treatment according to the invention or the compound of the invention for use in the treatment of conditions mediated by HCN2 as defined herein may be applied as a sole therapy or be a combination therapy with an additional active agent. [00276] For example, where the condition is pain (e.g. NP or IP) a compound of the invention maybe used in combination with another analgesic agent. Examples of analgesic agents include, but are not limited to an opioid (e.g. morphine and other opiate receptor agonists; nalbuphine or other mixed opioid agonist/antagonists; or tramadol); a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAIDs) (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or a selective COX2 inhibitor such as celecoxib); paracetamol; baclofen, pregabalin, gabapentin, a tricyclic antidepressant (e.g. clomipramine or amitriptyline), or a local anaesthetic (e.g. lidocaine), or a combination of two or more thereof. [00277] The combination therapies defined herein may be achieved by way of the simultaneous, sequential or separate dosing of the individual components of the treatment. Such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within a therapeutically effective dosage range described herein and the other pharmaceutically-active agent within its approved dosage range. [00278] Herein, where the term “combination” is used it is to be understood that this refers to simultaneous, separate or sequential administration. In one aspect of the invention “combination” refers to simultaneous administration. In another aspect of the invention “combination” refers to separate administration. In a further aspect of the invention “combination” refers to sequential administration. Where the administration is sequential or separate, the delay in administering the second component should not be such as to lose the beneficial effect of the combination. [00279] In some embodiments in which a combination treatment is used, the amount of the compound of the invention and the amount of the other pharmaceutically active agent(s) are, when combined, therapeutically effective to treat a targeted disorder in the patient. In this context, the combined amounts are “therapeutically effective amount” if they are, when combined, sufficient to reduce or completely alleviate symptoms or other detrimental effects of the disorder; cure the disorder; reverse, completely stop, or slow the progress of the disorder; or reduce the risk of the disorder getting worse. Typically, such amounts may be determined by one skilled in the art by, for example, starting with the dosage range described in this specification for the compound of the invention and an approved or otherwise published dosage range(s) of the other pharmaceutically active compound(s). [00280] According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical product comprising a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as defined herein and an additional active agent for the treatment of pain (e.g. NP or IP). The additional active agent may be an analgesic agent as defined herein. [00281] In an embodiment there is provided a pharmaceutical product comprising a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as defined herein and an additional active agent for the treatment of a condition which is modulated by HCN2. The additional active agent may be an analgesic agent as defined herein. [00282] According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for use simultaneously, sequentially or separately with an analgesic agent as defined herein, in the treatment of pain (e.g. NP or IP). Synthesis [00283] In the description of the synthetic methods described below and in the referenced synthetic methods that are used to prepare the staring materials, it is to be understood that all proposed reaction conditions, including choice of solvent, reaction atmosphere, reaction temperature, duration of the experiment and workup procedures, can be selected by a person skilled in the art. [00284] It is understood by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the functionality present on various portions of the molecule must be compatible with the reagents and reaction conditions utilised. [00285] Necessary starting materials may be obtained by standard procedures of organic chemistry. The preparation of such starting materials is described in conjunction with the following representative process variants and within the accompanying Examples. Alternatively necessary starting materials are obtainable by analogous procedures to those illustrated which are within the ordinary skill of an organic chemist. [00286] It will be appreciated that during the synthesis of the compounds of the invention in the processes defined below, or during the synthesis of certain starting materials, it may be desirable to protect certain substituent groups to prevent their undesired reaction. The skilled chemist will appreciate when such protection is required, and how such protecting groups may be put in place, and later removed. [00287] For examples of protecting groups see one of the many general texts on the subject, for example, ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ by Theodora Green (publisher: John Wiley & Sons). Protecting groups may be removed by any convenient method described in the literature or known to the skilled chemist as appropriate for the removal of the protecting group in question, such methods being chosen so as to effect removal of the protecting group with the minimum disturbance of groups elsewhere in the molecule. [00288] Thus, if reactants include, for example, groups such as amino, carboxy or hydroxy it may be desirable to protect the group in some of the reactions mentioned herein. [00289] By way of example, a suitable protecting group for an amino or alkylamino group is, for example, an acyl group, for example an alkanoyl group such as acetyl or trifluoroacetyl, an alkoxycarbonyl group, for example a methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl or t-butoxycarbonyl group, an arylmethoxycarbonyl group, for example benzyloxycarbonyl, or an aroyl group, for example benzoyl. The deprotection conditions for the above protecting groups necessarily vary with the choice of protecting group. Thus, for example, an acyl group such as an alkanoyl or alkoxycarbonyl group or an aroyl group may be removed by, for example, hydrolysis with a suitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example lithium or sodium hydroxide. Alternatively an acyl group such as a tert-butoxycarbonyl group may be removed, for example, by treatment with a suitable acid as hydrochloric, sulfuric or phosphoric acid or trifluoroacetic acid and an arylmethoxycarbonyl group such as a benzyloxycarbonyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon, or by treatment with a Lewis acid for example BF 3 .OEt2. A suitable alternative protecting group for a primary amino group is, for example, a phthaloyl group which may be removed by treatment with an alkylamine, for example dimethylaminopropylamine, or with hydrazine. [00290] A suitable protecting group for a hydroxy group is, for example, an acyl group, for example an alkanoyl group such as acetyl, an aroyl group, for example benzoyl, or an arylmethyl group, for example benzyl. The deprotection conditions for the above protecting groups will necessarily vary with the choice of protecting group. Thus, for example, an acyl group such as an alkanoyl or an aroyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrolysis with a suitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example lithium, sodium hydroxide or ammonia. Alternatively an arylmethyl group such as a benzyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon. [00291] A suitable protecting group for a carboxy group is, for example, an esterifying group, for example a methyl or an ethyl group which may be removed, for example, by hydrolysis with a base such as sodium hydroxide, or for example a t-butyl group which may be removed, for example, by treatment with an acid, for example an organic acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, or for example a benzyl group which may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon. [00292] Resins may also be used as a protecting group. General Synthetic Routes [00293] Compounds of Formula (I) in which A is oxygen may be prepared according to Scheme 1.
[00294] Intermediate alcohols 2 may be prepared by the reaction of an anion generated from an appropriately substituted protected benzaldehyde (1) using an alkyllithium (such as n-butyllithium) with an appropriately substituted benzaldehyde in a solvent such as diethyl ether or THF at a temperature between -78°C and 0°C. The resultant alcohol 2 may be oxidised to give the ketone 3 under standard conditions known to one skilled in the art. For example the oxidation may be carried out using TEMPO and 1,3-dibromo-4,4- dimethylhydantoin in a mixture of tert-butanol and water, in the presence of a base such as sodium bicarbonate at a temperature between room temperature and the80°C. Alternatively, ketones 3 may be prepared by the reaction of the same anion generated from 1 and an appropriately substituted Weinreb’s amide (prepared according to standard conditions known to those skilled in the art from the corresponding benzoic acid) using similar conditions to those employed in the reaction with the aldehyde. The oximes 4 may be generated from the fluoro ketones 3 by reaction with acetone oxime in the presence of a strong base (such as sodium hydride or potassium t-butoxide) in an ether solvent (such as dry diethyl ether or THF) at a temperature between 0°C and the reflux temperature of the solvent. Treatment of 4 with mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid in a solvent such as ethanol or isopropanol at the reflux temperature of the solvent provides the cyclised benzisoxazole 5. Conversion of the aldehyde 5 to the imine 6 was achieved by treatment with the appropriate chiral single enantiomer of (S)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide in the presence of a base such as cesium carbonate in a chlorinated solvent such as dichloromethane, at the reflux temperature of the solvent. Alternatively, reaction with (S)-2- methylpropane-2-sulfinamide may be carried out in the presence of for example titanium ethoxide in an appropriate solvent such as ethanol or THF at a temperature between room temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent. Reaction of the generated single enantiomer of the sulfinamide 6 with the anion generated from the appropriately substituted 2-alkyl pyridine and an organolithium reagent such as n-butyl lithium, lithium di- isopropylamide or lithium hexamethyl disilazide in a solvent such as THF at a temperature between -78°C and 0°C gives preferentially the desired diastereomeric isomer of the intermediate 7 which can be purified by chromatography to remove the undesired minor diastereomer. Deprotection under acidic conditions using for example HCl or trifluoroacetic acid in a solvent such as dichloromethane, ethyl acetate methanol or dioxane then provides the target compounds as single enantiomers. [00295] One skilled in the art will recognise that interconversion of various groups R 1 , R 2 , R 3 or R 8 may be carried out at different stages of the synthesis and that protection of various functionalities may be required in order to complete the required syntheses. [00296] An alternative synthetic approach to prepare compounds of Formula (I) in which A is oxygen is shown in Scheme 2. Scheme 2 [00297] An appropriately substituted 2-formylbenzoate ester may be converted to the corresponding oxime 9 by treatment with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium acetate in a solvent such as aqueous alcohol at a temperature between room temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent. Treatment of oxime 9 with a chlorinating reagent such as chlorine gas or N-chlorosuccinimide in a solvent such as dichloromethane provides the chloro-oxime 10. 3+2 cycloaddition of the nitrile oxide generated in situ from 10 with benzyne generated in situ from 11 using cesium fluoride gives the benzisoxazole ester 12. Conversion of the ester 12 to the aldehyde 5 may be achieved in a number of different ways by methods known to one skilled in the art. Examples of such methods include the direct reduction using a reducing agent such as DIBAL in a variety of solvents such as dichloromethane, toluene or THF at temperatures between 0°C and the reflux temperature of the solvent. Alternatively, the generation of the aldehyde may be achieved in a two-step process by reducing the ester 12 to the alcohol using for example lithium aluminium hydride in an ether solvent such as diethyl ether of THF at a temperature between 0°C and room temperature followed by oxidation of the alcohol to the aldehyde using for example TEMPO (as described in Scheme 1) or using activated manganese oxide in a chlorinated solvent such as dichloromethane. With the aldehyde in hand, conversion to the compounds of Formula (I) may be achieved using the same methods as described in Scheme 1. [00298] Compounds of Formula (I) in which A is NR 9 may be prepared according to Scheme 3. Scheme 3 [00299] The appropriately substituted N-alkylated indazoles may be prepared by alkylation of the corresponding 3-bromoindazole using the appropriate alkyl halide (alkyl bromide or iodide) and a strong base such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as THF at a temperature between 0°C and the reflux temperature of the solvent. The desired isomer of the indazole can be isolated from the mixture by chromatographic separation from the undesired regio- isomer. The desired aldehyde 14 may then be achieved by Suzuki coupling of the bromoindazole 13 with the appropriate 2-formylphenylboronic acid or boronate using a palladium catalyst such as tetrakis-triphenylphosphine palladium, bis-triphenylphosphine palladium chloride or palladium chloride dppf in the presence of a base such as sodium carbonate or cesium carbonate in a mixture or water and an appropriate solvent such as dioxane, THF or DME at a temperature between room temperature and the reflux temperature of the solvent. Conversion of the aldehyde 14 to the compounds of Formula (I) may be achieved in a manner similar to that shown in Scheme 1.

Example 126: Assay for HCN1 HCN2 and HCN4 Example 126A, Using PatchXpress 7000A [00762] Solutions for recording HCN currents were: [00763] For HCN1 and HCN2, the pulse protocol involved stepping from a holding potential of -30mV to -110mV (see Fig.1A) for 2 seconds to evoke the current. The membrane voltage was then stepped back to -30mV for a further 8 seconds. This sequence was evoked repeatedly every 10 seconds throughout the experiment, starting prior to drug (Control A) and during cumulative additions of 5 increasing compound concentrations, then finally a 100% inhibiting concentration of cesium chloride (CsCl, 3mM). [00764] For HCN4, the pulse protocol involved stepping from a holding potential of -30mV to -130mV (see Fig. 1B) for 4 seconds to evoke the current. The membrane voltage was then stepped back to -30mV, the voltage protocol had a start-to-start interval of 14 seconds, starting prior to drug (Control A) and during cumulative additions of increasing compound concentrations, then finally a 100% inhibiting concentration of cesium chloride (CsCl, 3mM). [00765] The peak inward current measured at the end of the pulse to -110mV (HCN1 and HCN2) or -130mV (HCN4) was measured and any leak current subtracted to calculate the HCN current. The HCN current amplitude was measured after each control or compound addition and normalized to the control amplitude (Control A). [00766] All experiments were performed at room temperature (approximately 22ºC). [00767] Each test compound concentration was applied to the cell for seven (7) minutes, at which point the next cumulative concentration was applied.3mM CsCl was applied to each cell for 2 minutes at the end of each experiment (Control B) to determine 100% inhibition level of the HCN current. Example 126B, Using the Sophion Qube [00768] Solutions for recording HCN currents were: [00769] For HCN1 and HCN2 the cells were held at -30 mV and then stepped to -110 mV for 2 seconds before stepping back to -30 mV, this represents 1 experimental sweep. This voltage protocol was applied every 20 seconds for the duration of the experiment. Both the vehicle (0.3% DMSO) and full block (3 mM CsCl) addition periods were applied for 10 experimental sweeps each. The compound addition period was applied for 30 sweeps. [00770] For HCN4, the cells were held at -30 mV and then stepped to -130 mV for 4 seconds before stepping back to -30 mV, this represents 1 experimental sweep. This voltage protocol was applied every 20 seconds for the duration of the experiment. Both the vehicle (0.3% DMSO) and full block (3 mM CsCl) addition periods were applied for 10 experimental sweeps each. The compound addition period was applied for 30 sweeps. [00771] The currents evoked by the step to -110 mV (HCN1 and HCN2) or -130 mV (HCN4) were measured for the analysis of the percentage inhibition by test compounds. The current amplitudes were measured by subtracting metric A from metric B (see Fig.2) with inhibition calculated by normalising to the vehicle addition (0.3% DMSO) and full inhibition by 3mM CsCl in the same well. [00772] The potency (IC 50 ) of test compound to inhibit the HCN ion channel was determined from a concentration-response curve generated from up to 8 test compound concentrations with up to 8 replicates per concentration. In total, compound was applied to the well for 600 seconds. Example 127: Assay for hERG Example 127A, Using IonWorks Quattro [00773] Solutions for recording hERG currents were: [00774] Electrophysiological recordings were made from a Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK) cell line stably expressing the full length hERG channel. Single cell ionic currents were measured in the perforated patch clamp configuration (100 μg ml -1 amphotericin) at room temperature (approx.22°C) using an IonWorks Quattro from Molecular Devices. [00775] Cells were clamped at a holding potential of -70mV for 30s and then stepped to +40mV for 1s. This was followed by a hyperpolarising step of 1s to -30mV to evoke the hERG tail current. This sequence was repeated 5 times at a frequency of 0.25Hz (see Fig. 3). Currents were measured from the tail step at the 5th pulse and referenced to the holding current. Compounds were then incubated for 6-7 minutes prior to a second measurement of the hERG signal using an identical pulse train. [00776] The potency (IC50) of test compounds to inhibit the hERG channel were determined from a concentration-response curve generated from up to 8 test compound concentrations with up to 4 replicates per concentration. Example 127B, Using Sophion Qube [00777] Solutions for recording hERG currents were: [00778] The cells were held at a voltage of -80 mV and then stepped to +40 mV for 2 seconds before stepping to -40 mV for a further 2 seconds, this represents 1 experimental sweep. This voltage protocol was applied every 15 seconds for the duration of the experiment. Both the vehicle and 1st compound addition periods were applied for 10 sweeps. The 2nd compound addition period was applied for 20 sweeps. The compound concentration was added to the test well twice to assure complete exchange of the external buffer with the test compound. In total, compound was applied to the well for 450 seconds. [00779] The peak tail currents evoked by the step to -40 mV were measured for the analysis of the percentage inhibition by test compounds. The peak tail currents were first normalised to the vehicle addition (0.3% DMSO) in the same well. [00780] The potency (IC50) of test compounds to inhibit the hERG channel were determined from a concentration-response curve generated from up to 8 test compound concentrations with up to 4 replicates per concentration. Example 128: Assay for hNav1.5 Example 128A, Using IonWorks Quattro [00781] Solutions for recording Na v 1.5 currents were: [00782] Electrophysiological recordings were made from a human embryonic kidney (HEK) cell line stably expressing the full length hNa V 1.5. Population patch clamp measurements were made in the perforated patch clamp configuration (100 μg ml -1 amphotericin) at room temperature (approx. 22°C) using an IonWorks Quattro from Molecular Devices. The voltage protocol is illustrated in Fig. 4. Currents were first measured under control (pre- compound addition) conditions. Compounds were then incubated for 5-7 minutes prior to a second measurement of the hNaV1.5 signal using an identical pulse train. Currents were measured from the depolarising step at the 15 th pulse and referenced to the holding current. Example 128B, Using Sophion Qube [00783] The cells were held at -100 mV followed by a depolarising step to -10 mV for 100 milliseconds before stepping back to -100 mV, this represents 1 experimental sweep. This voltage protocol was applied at 0.1Hz and 4Hz, to evaluate both tonic block, and the potential for use-dependent block of the hNa v 1.5 channel. The vehicle and compound addition periods were applied for 20 sweeps at 0.1Hz to assess tonic block, and as a train of 20 depolarisations at a frequency of 4Hz to test for use-dependent block. [00784] For tonic block (0.1Hz), the peak currents evoked by the step to -10 mV were measured for the analysis of the percentage inhibition by test compounds. For use- dependent block (4Hz), the peak current evoked at the 20 th depolarising step to -10 mV was measured for the analysis of the percentage inhibition by test compounds. Peak currents were first normalised to the vehicle addition (0.3% DMSO) in the same well. The potency (IC 50 ) of test compounds to inhibit the hNa v 1.5 channel were determined from a concentration-response curve generated from up to 8 test compound concentrations with up to 4 replicates per concentration and are quoted for the use dependent block. Example 129: MDCK Assay [00785] The bi-directional MDCK permeability assay in MDCK-MDR1 cells was performed using MDCK-MDR1 cells (Solvo Biotechnology) seeded onto 24-well Transwell plates at 2.35 x 105 cells per well and used in confluent monolayers after a 3 day culture at 37 °C under 5% CO 2 . Test compounds were added (10 µM, 0.1% DMSO final, n=2) to donor compartments of the Transwell plate assembly in assay buffer (Hanks balanced salt solution supplemented with 25 mM HEPES, adjusted to pH 7.4) for both apical to basolateral (A>B) and basolateral to apical (B>A) measurements. A parallel series of incubations were performed in the presence of the transporter inhibitor elacridar (5 µM) which was added to both compartments in the transwell plate. Incubations were performed at 37 °C, with samples removed from both donor and acceptor chambers at T=0 and 1 hour for recovery assessment and compound analysed by mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), including an analytical internal standard. Apparent permeability (Papp) values were determined from the relationship: Papp = [CompoundAcceptor T=end] x VAcceptor / ([CompoundDonor T=0] x VDonor) / incubation time x VDonor / Area x 60 x 10-6 cm/s Where V is the volume of each Transwell compartment (apical 125 µL, basolateral 600 µL), and concentrations are the relative MS responses for compound (normalized to internal standard) in the donor chamber before incubation and acceptor chamber at the end of the incubation. Area = area of cells exposed for drug transfer (0.33 cm2). [00786] Efflux ratios (Papp B>A / Papp A>B) were calculated for each compound from the mean Papp values in each direction. The MDCK-MDR1 cell line has been engineered to over-express the efflux transporter, MDR1 (P-glycoprotein), and a finding of good permeability B>A, but poor permeability A>B, suggests that a compound is a substrate for this transporter. The efflux ratios were also calculated in the same way from the runs carried out in the presence of the inhibitor. The net flux is the ratio of the efflux in the absence of inhibitor to that in the presence of inhibitor. A net flux value >5 (i.e. efflux ratio without inhibitor divided by efflux ratio plus inhibitor) is indicative of compounds being substrates for the transporter P-gp and would therefore have a greater likelihood of being restricted from the CNS (i.e. peripherally restricted). [00787] Lucifer Yellow (LY) was added to the apical buffer in all wells to assess viability of the cell layer. As LY cannot freely permeate lipophilic barriers, a high degree of LY transport indicates poor integrity of the cell layer and wells with a LY Papp > 10 x 10 -6 cm/s were rejected. Note that an integrity failure in one well does not affect the validity of other wells on the plate. [00788] Compound recovery from the wells was determined from MS responses (normalized to internal standard) in donor and acceptor chambers at the end of incubation compared to response in the donor chamber pre-incubation. Recoveries <50% suggest compound solubility, stability or binding issues in the assay which may reduce the reliability of a result.

Example 130: Effect on tinnitus by pharmacological block of HCN2 ion channels [00792] Tinnitus in guinea pigs was monitored using the gap induced inhibition of the acoustic startle (GPIAS) test (see Fig.5). GPIAS is reduced when tinnitus was present; see Berger, J. I. et al. Effects of the cannabinoid CB1 agonist ACEA on salicylate ototoxicity, hyperacusis and tinnitus in guinea pigs. Hearing research, (2017), and Coomber, B. et al. Neural changes accompanying tinnitus following unilateral acoustic trauma in the guinea pig. Eur J Neurosci 40, 2427-2441, (2014). [00793] In Fig.5, sound stimulus (above) and corresponding pinna reflex (below) are shown in freely moving guinea pigs. Stimuli with no gap and gap are presented in a randomised order. Traces contaminated by movement (the upper trace in “no gap”) were removed before analysis. [00794] Tinnitus was induced within 1-2 hours in humans by high doses of salicylate. A similar short-term tinnitus model was implemented in guinea pigs by i.p. injection of salicylate. In all animals, salicylate caused behavioural inhibition of GPIAS (see bar 2 in Fig.6). Block of HCN ion channels by the non-selective inhibitor ivabradine (which blocks HCN1-4 equally) reversed GPIAS (see bar 3 in Fig.6). Thus, it was found that HCN ion channel block reverses behavioural signs of tinnitus in this short-term (salicylate) model. [00795] Salicylate (350 mg/kg, i.p.) impairs behavioural gap detection 2 h after salicylate administration (see bar 2 in of Fig.6). Gap detection was restored by blocking HCN channels with ivabradine (5 mg/kg, s.c.). [00796] Mild unilateral noise exposure has been found to reduce GPIAS in around 40% of guinea pigs, an observation that resembles the effect of noise in humans, where noise exposure causes tinnitus in some but not all subjects. The noise-exposure model is more clinically relevant than the salicylate model, as it parallels a common cause of tinnitus in humans. A second important point is that it is long-term, while tinnitus induced by salicylate is rapidly reversed following salicylate exposure. [00797] The reduced GPIAS seen following noise exposure (see bar B in Fig. 7) was found to be rapidly and completely reversed by HCN ion channel block with ivabradine, which blocks all four HCN ion channel isoforms equally (see bar C in Fig. 7). GPIAS returns following drug wash-out (see bar D in Fig.7). Thus, it was found that block of HCN2 ion channels abolishes behavioural signs of tinnitus. [00798] An HCN2-selective compound in accordance with present invention, Example 5 (“compound 476” in Fig. 7), chemically unrelated to ivabradine, also caused a complete reversal of “tinnitus” behaviour (see bar E in Fig, 7). In control experiments on noise- exposed guinea pigs showing no behavioural evidence of tinnitus, ivabradine was without effect on GPIAS (n = 3, results not shown). The similar results obtained in the short-term salicylate model and in the long-term noise-exposure model suggest that tinnitus is both initiated and maintained by activity of HCN2 ion channels. • Bar A: naïve guinea pigs showed a large reduction in the acoustic startle response following a brief gap in continuous noise. • Bar B: following unilateral noise exposure (NE, 110 dB, 1h, 8 weeks prior to testing) around 40% of guinea pigs developed impaired GPIAS. • Bar C: non-selective HCN inhibitor ivabradine (5 mg/kg, s.c.) fully restores GPIAS. Dark grey bar: reduced GPIAS returns following drug washout (1-2d). • Bar E: Example 5, a compound with high selectivity for HCN2 over HCN1 (28x) and HCN4 (63x) fully restored GPIAS at the same dose that achieves full block of neuropathic pain (0.5 mg/kg, s.c.). [00799] In control experiments on noise-exposed guinea pigs showing no behavioural tinnitus, ivabradine was without effect on gap detection (not shown). Example 131: Evaluation of CNS penetration of HCN blocker ivabradine [00800] Ivabradine in guinea pig plasma, brain (somatosensory cortex) and auditory nerve were assayed at 30 min after injection, the time used in Example 130. [00801] Ratios of total concentrations in preliminary experiments for plasma : brain : auditory nerve were 1:0.12:0.57 (n=2). The small amount (12% of plasma level) detected in brain is largely accounted for by the presence of ivabradine within the vascular supply of the brain. As in other species, therefore, ivabradine is strongly excluded from guinea pig brain because of its hydrophilicity and Pgp substrate activity; see Young, G. T., Emery, E. C., Mooney, E. R., Tsantoulas, C. & McNaughton, P. A. Inflammatory and neuropathic pain are rapidly suppressed by peripheral block of hyperpolarisation-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels. Pain 155, 1708-1719, (2014). [00802] The ratio of 0.57 between auditory nerve and plasma total concentrations shows that ivabradine is not excluded from auditory nerve, which is therefore accessible to plasma concentrations of ivabradine. The difference from a value of 1 may be accounted for by differences in binding to proteins in plasma and auditory nerve. Thus, it was found that the HCN blocker ivabradine penetrates the auditory nerve but not the CNS. Example 132: Effect of genetic deletion or pharmacological block of HCN2 on hearing thresholds [00803] It was tested whether genetic deletion or pharmacological block of HCN2 affects auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds to tone pulses, with frequencies from 3 kHz to 42 kHz. Results are shown in Fig.8, in which WT mice and sox10- Cre +/- /fHCN2 litter mates (auditory-targeted HCN2 deletion, see above) show no significant difference in ABR threshold or latency. Similar results were obtained in adult mice treated with the non-selective HCN blocker ivabradine and with Example 29, an HCN2-selective blocker in accordance with the invention (20 mg/kg ip). No significant difference in hearing in mice with a global genetic deletion of HCN2 was found, but in this case the hearing was compared with WT littermates at age 2 weeks as the HCN2 -/- mice die by 3-4 weeks. It was concluded that HCN2 does not participate in normal hearing but is only activated in pathological circumstances, such as following noise exposure. [00804] Mice carrying an auditory-targeted HCN2 deletion (upper line of unfilled dots in Fig.8) and WT littermates (lower line of filled dots in Fig.8) show no significant difference in either threshold (Fig.8) or response latency (data not shown, latency of P1 and N1 waves measured with click and at 12KHz and 18kHz). Deletion of HCN2 expressed in spiral ganglion neurons therefore does not affect normal hearing thresholds or response latencies. Bars show SD (n= 6). Thus, it was found that genetic deletion or pharmacological block of HCN2 does not affect normal hearing thresholds. Example 133: Mechanical analgesic effect of compound of Example 5 in a mouse neuropathic pain model tested using a von Frey filament [00805] The compound of Example 5 was tested in a mouse neuropathic pain model using WT Black6 strain mice. The model used was analogous to the model described in Seltzer Z, Dubner R, & Shir Y (1990), A novel behavioural model of neuropathic pain disorders produced in rats by partial sciatic nerve injury, Pain 43: 205-218). Further details of the methods used are described in Young GT et al. (2014), Inflammatory and neuropathic pain are rapidly suppressed by peripheral block of hyperpolarisation-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels; Pain 155: 1708-1719; and Tsantoulas C et al., (2017), Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated 2 (HCN2) ion channels drive pain in mouse models of diabetic neuropathy. Sci Transl Med 9: eaam6072. [00806] The compound of Example 5 was administered i.p. to the mice on day 5 following partial sciatic nerve ligation surgery, average data from 3-4 mice. The mechanical pain threshold was measured by manual von Frey filament applied to hind paw on the operated side, using the “up-down” method. Example 5 was compared to ivabradine at 5mg/kg i.p. and i.p. injection of vehicle. The compound of Example 5 delivered full analgesia at 0.5 mg/kg i.p. and partial analgesia at 0.1mg/kg i.p. (see Figure 9 (significance over vehicle injection shown (*, p<0.05))). No hyperalgesia observed in the contralateral (unoperated) hind paw of the mice. Example 134: Analgesic effect of compound of Example 5 in a mouse neuropathic pain model tested with paw pressure (Randall Sellito test) [00807] The compound of Example 5 was tested in the mouse model described in Example 133, but by assessing pain from mechanical paw pressure using the Randall Sellito test. The compound of Example 5 delivers full analgesia at 0.5mg/kg i.p. and partial analgesia at 0.1mg/kg i.p. The compound was compared with analgesia delivered by ivabradine at 5mg/kg i.p. and with injection of vehicle only (see Figure 10). Example 135: Thermal analgesic effect of compound of Example 116 in a mouse neuropathic pain model [00808] The Compound of Example 116 was tested in the mouse model described in Example 133, but pain threshold was assessed by thermal withdrawal latency (seconds) measured using infrared stimulus as described in Emery EC et al., (2011), HCN2 ion channels play a central role in inflammatory and neuropathic pain, Science 333: 1462- 1466. [00809] The compound of Example 116 delivered full analgesia in the thermal test at a dose of 1.5mg/kg i.p. The compound was compared with analgesia delivered by ivabradine at 5mg/kg i.p. and with injection of vehicle only (see Figure 11 (significance is relative to vehicle)). Example 136: Selective block of HCN2 over HCN4 delivers effective analgesia with minimal bradycardia in mice [00810] The compound of Example 5 was administered i.p. at doses of from 0.1 mg/kg to 40 mg/kg to awake, behaving Black6 strain mice together with a vehicle only control arm. Heart rate in the mice were measured with MouseOx pulse oximeter. The effect on heart rate with dose is shown in Figure 13. [00811] The compound of Example 5 gave full analgesia at an i.p. dose of 0.5 mg/kg (see Example 133), and at this dose the compound produced minimal bradycardia. The compound of Example 5 is approximately 63x selective for HCN2 over HCN4 measured using the PatchXpress 7000A automated patch clamp system described in Example 126. [00812] Figure 14 illustrates collected bradycardia data measured 10-20min following injection of the compound of Example 5 in experiments similar to those above in mice, compared with maximal analgesia in experiments similar to those described in Example 133 above. Each point is mean from n = 3-4 mice of Black6 strain. Analgesic ED 50 = 0.17 mg/kg i.p., giving a 37x therapeutic window for analgesia over bradycardia in mice (ED 50 for bradycardia = 6.13 mg/kg i.p.). No neurological effects were observed in the mice until doses of 40mg/kg i.p. when mild tremor was observed. This provides a 235x window for analgesia over neurological effects in the mice tested. [00813] In comparison Figure 12 shows that ivabradine blocks pain but because ivabradine does not discriminate between HCN2 and HCN4, there is little therapeutic window between analgesia and bradycardia in Black6 mice. This data is based on inflammatory pain measured in a formalin model implemented in Black6 mice. Heart rate was measured using MouseOx pulse oximeter in awake, behaving, mice (published data from Young GT et al. (2014), Pain 155: 1708-1719). Example 137: Repeated subthreshold injections of the compound of Example 5 confers gradual build up of analgesia [00814] The compound of Example 5 was tested in the mouse neuropathic pain model described in Example 133. Mechanical pain threshold was measured as in Example 1331 day before and 8 days after partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL) neuropathic pain induction. The test compound was administered at a low dose of 0.2 mg/kg every two hours with a control arm of vehicle only injections. Figure 15 shows the analgesic effect over time as the successive doses of test compound were administered. Consistent with the data in Example 133 and Figure 9, the first dose of 0.2 mg/kg resulted in only partial analgesia. However Figure 15 shows that subsequent doses of the test compound resulted in an increase in analgesia towards full analgesia. Example 138: Regular dosing of the compound of Example 5 provides a cumulative analgesic effect [00815] The compound of Example 5 was tested in the mouse neuropathic pain model described in Example 133. Mechanical pain threshold was measured as in Example 1331 day before and 5-8 days after partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL) neuropathic pain induction. The test compound was administered at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg twice-daily at 8 hour intervals with a control arm of vehicle only injections, and mechanical pain threshold was measured 4 hours after the first injection. Figure 16 shows the analgesic effect over time as the successive doses of test compound were administered. [00816] The compound of Example 5 resulted in little analgesia when measured 4 hours after first injection (consistent with Figure 9) but with successive doses injected twice-daily over 4 days, a build up to full and sustained analgesia was observed.
