Pulmonary edema is a common ailment of heart failure patients and has remained an unmet medical need due to dose-limiting side effects associated with current treatments. Preclinical studies in rodents have suggested that inhibition of transient receptor potential vanilloid-4 (TRPV4) cation channels may offer an alternative-and potentially superior-therapy. Efforts directed toward small-molecule antagonists of the TRPV4 receptor have led to the discovery of a novel sulfone pyrrolidine sulfonamide chemotype exemplified by lead compound 6. Design elements toward the optimization of TRPV4 activity, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties are described. Activity of leading exemplars 19 and 27 in an in vivo model suggestive of therapeutic potential is highlighted herein.
