Assignee:	Ferring B.V. (Hoofddorp, NL)
Application Number:	12/673,375
Patent Claims:	1. A method of treating a condition comprising administering to an animal in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound having the formula (I): ##STR00003## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein: R.sub.1 is H; and R.sub.2 is (CH.sub.2).sub.m--X; or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 in combination with the carbon atom to which they are attached together form an acyclic structure that comprises from 3 to 8 carbon atoms; m is selected from 0, 1, 2 and 3; n is selected from 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4; p is selected from 2, 3 and 4; when m is 0, 2 or 3, X is selected from C.sub.3-8-cycloalkyl and C.sub.5-8-cycloalkenyl; when m is 1, X is selected from C.sub.3-8-cycloalkyl, C.sub.5-8-cycloalkenyl, isopropyl and tert-butyl; said alicyclic structure, C.sub.3-8-cycloalkyl, and C.sub.5-8-cycloalkenyl, optionally have at least one alkyl, O-alkyl or hydroxyl substituent; R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are each independently selected from H, alkyl, OH, O-alkyl and OC(O)-alkyl; and alkyl is selected from C.sub.1-6 straight and C.sub.4-8 branched chain alkyl and optionally has at least one hydroxyl substituent; and wherein the condition is selected from: hypertensive gastropathy bleeding, prolonged and severe hypotension, intradialytic hypotension, vasodilatory shock induced by cardiopulmonary bypass, milrinone-induced vasodilatory shock in congestive heart failure, anaphylactic shock, cardiovascular instability induced by brain death, acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute lung injury, shock induced by metformin intoxication, mitochondrial disease or cyanide poisoning, vascular leak syndrome induced by interleukin-2 or another cytokine, denileukin diftitox or another immunotoxin, or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, hypertension induced by end-stage renal disease, reperfusion injury, infant respiratory distress syndrome, ascites, vasodepressor syncope, including vasovagal syncope, postural hypotension with syncope or neurocardiogenic syncope, toxic shock syndrome, inadequate tissue oxygenation, and idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (Clarkson's disease). 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the condition is: acute respiratory distress syndrome or acute lung injury. 3. A method according to claim 1, wherein the condition is: inadequate tissue oxygenation, shock induced by metformin intoxication, mitochondrial disease or cyanide poisoning, vascular leak syndrome induced by interleukin-2 or another cytokine, denileukin diftitox or another immunotoxin, or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, hypertension induced by end-stage renal disease, reperfusion injury, infant respiratory distress syndrome, ascites, vasodepressor syncope, including vasovagal syncope, postural hypotension with syncope or neurocardiogenic syncope, toxic shock syndrome, and idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome (Clarkson's disease). 4. A method according to claim 1, wherein R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are H. 5. A method according to claim 1, wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are H. 6. A method according to claim 1, wherein n is 1 or 2. 7. A method according to claim 1, wherein alkyl is selected from methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, t-butyl and i-amyl. 8. A method according to claim 1, wherein X is cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl. 9. A method according to claim 1, wherein said alicyclic structure is a cyclobutyl structure. 10. A method according to claim 1, wherein the condition is: hypertensive gastropathy bleeding, prolonged and severe hypotension, intradialytic hypotension, vasodilatory shock induced by cardiopulmonary bypass, milrinone-induced vasodilatory shock in congestive heart failure, anaphylactic shock, or cardiovascular instability induced by brain death. 11. A method according to claim 1, wherein the compound is a compound of the following formula: ##STR00004## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 12. A method according to claim 1, wherein the compound is a compound of the following formula: ##STR00005## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 13. A method according to claim 1, wherein the compound is a compound of the following formula: ##STR00006## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 14. A method according to claim 1, wherein the compound is a compound of the following formula: ##STR00007## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
