Assignee: NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Bedminster, NJ)
Application Number:10/389,093
Patent Claims:1. A compound having the formula: ##STR00001## wherein: R' and R'' are independently naphthalene or phenyl, wherein the phenyl is optionally substituted by one or more moieties independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, unsubstituted alkyl, lower alkyl substituted with one or more halogens, lower alkoxy optionally substituted with one or more halogens, nitro, and phenyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of said compound.

2. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, having the formula: ##STR00002## wherein: R' and R'' are independently naphthalene or phenyl, wherein the phenyl is optionally substituted by one or more moieties independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, unsubstituted alkyl, lower alkyl substituted with one or more halogens, lower alkoxy optionally substituted with one or more halogens, nitro, and phenyl; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

3. A method for inhibiting parathyroid hormone secretion in a patient comprising administering to said patient an effective amount of a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, having the formula: ##STR00003## wherein: R' and R'' are independently naphthalene or phenyl, wherein the phenyl is optionally substituted by one or more moieties independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, unsubstituted alkyl, lower alkyl substituted with one or more halogens, lower alkoxy optionally substituted with one or more halogens, nitro, and phenyl.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein said effective amount of said compound reduces said parathyroid hormone secretion in said patient.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein said patient has an abnormally high parathyroid secretion and said therapeutically effective amount of said compound reduces said parathyroid hormone secretion in said patient to a degree sufficient to cause a decrease of plasma Ca.sup.2+.

6. A method for inhibiting one or more Ca.sup.2+ receptor activities in a cell comprising administration to said cell one or more compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, having the formula: ##STR00004## wherein: R' and R'' are independently naphthalene or phenyl, wherein the phenyl is optionally substituted by one or more moieties independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, unsubstituted alkyl, lower alkyl substituted with one or more halogens, lower alkoxy optionally substituted with one or more halogens, nitro, and phenyl.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein said cell is a parathyroid cell, a juxtaglomerular kidney cell, a proximal tubule kidney cell, a parafollicular thyroid cell, a bone osteoclast, a keratinocyte or a placental trophoblast.

8. A method for treating or preventing a disorder selected from the group consisting of hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, osteoporosis, Paget's disease and hypertension comprising administering to a patient suffering from said disorder a therapeutically effective amount of a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, having the formula: ##STR00005## wherein: R' and R'' are independently naphthalene or phenyl, wherein the phenyl is optionally substituted by one or more moieties independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, unsubstituted alkyl, lower alkyl substituted with one or more halogens, lower alkoxy optionally substituted with one or more halogens, nitro, and phenyl.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein said hyperparathyroidism is primary hyperparathyroidism.

10. The method of claim 8 wherein said hyperparathyroidism is secondary hyperparathyroidism.

11. A pharmaceutical composition for treatment of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism comprising a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, of claim 1; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

12. A pharmaceutical composition for treatment of renalosteodystrophy comprising a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, of claim 1; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

13. A pharmaceutical composition for treatment of hypercalcemia comprising a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, of claim 1; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

14. A pharmaceutical composition for treatment of osteoporosis comprising a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, having the formula: ##STR00006## wherein: R' and R'' are independently naphthalene or phenyl, wherein the phenyl is optionally substituted by one or more moieties independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, unsubstituted alkyl, lower alkyl substituted with one or more halogens, lower alkoxy optionally substituted with one or more halogens, nitro, and phenyl; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

15. A compound selected from the group consisting of: ##STR00007## ##STR00008## ##STR00009## ##STR00010## ##STR00011## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
