Application Number:14/036,286
Claims:1. A method of activating Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) activity comprising the step of contacting the CFTR with a compound of formula I: ##STR00848## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein, independently for each occurrence: R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are --Z.sup.AR.sub.4, wherein each Z.sup.A is independently a bond or an optionally substituted branched or straight C.sub.1-6 aliphatic chain wherein up to two carbon units of Z.sup.A are optionally and independently replaced by --CO--, --CS--, --CONR.sup.A--, --CONR.sup.ANR.sup.A--, --CO.sub.2--, --OCO--, --NR.sup.ACO.sub.2--, --O--, --NR.sup.ACONR.sup.A--, --OCONR.sup.A--, --NR.sup.ANR.sup.A--, --NR.sup.ACO--, --S--, --SO--, --SO.sub.2--, --NR.sup.A--, --SO.sub.2NR.sup.A--, --NR.sup.ASO.sub.2--, or --NR.sup.ASO.sub.2NR.sup.A--; or any two adjacent R.sub.2 groups together with the atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted carbocycle or optionally substituted heterocycle; R.sub.4 is independently R.sup.A, halo, --OH, --NH.sub.2, --NO.sub.2, --CN, or --OCF.sub.3; R.sup.A is independently hydrogen, an optionally substituted aliphatic, an optionally substituted cycloaliphatic, an optionally substituted heterocycloaliphatic, an optionally substituted aryl, or an optionally substituted heteroaryl; ring A is an optionally substituted 3-7 membered monocyclic ring having 0-3 heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S; n is and integer from 1 to 3 inclusive; ring B is ##STR00849## wherein: p is 2 or 3; and R.sub.3 is C.sub.1-C.sub.6 aliphatic or halo, and; R'.sub.3 is --Z.sup.CR.sub.6, where Z.sup.C is an optionally substituted branched or straight C.sub.1-6 aliphatic chain wherein up to two carbon units of Z.sup.C are optionally and independently replaced by --CO--, --CS--, --CONR.sup.C--, --CONR.sup.CNR.sup.C--, --CO.sub.2--, --OCO--, --NR.sup.CCO.sub.2--, --O--, --NR.sup.CCONR.sup.C--, --OCONR.sup.C--, --NR.sup.CNR.sup.C--, NR.sup.CCO--, --S--, --SO--, --SO.sub.2--, --NR.sup.C, --SO.sub.2NR.sup.C--, --NR.sup.CSO.sub.2--, or --NR.sup.CSO.sub.2NR.sup.C--; R.sub.6 is R.sup.C, halo, --OH, --NH.sub.2, --NO.sub.2, --CN, or --OCF.sub.3; R.sup.C is hydrogen, an optionally substituted aliphatic, an optionally substituted cycloaliphatic, an optionally substituted heterocycloaliphatic, or an optionally substituted heteroaryl; and wherein when one of the 2 or 3 R.sub.3 is adjacent to R'.sub.3 and the adjacent R.sub.3 is C.sub.1-C.sub.6 aliphatic, then R'.sub.3 and the adjacent R.sub.3, together with the atoms to which they are attached, form an optionally substituted heterocycle.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein R.sub.1 is H or C.sub.1-C.sub.6 aliphatic in the compound of formula I.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein R.sub.1 is H in the compound of formula I.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein two adjacent R.sub.2 in the compound of formula I together with the atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted carbocycle or an optionally substituted heterocycle.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein two adjacent R.sub.2 in the compound of formula I together with the atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted heterocycle.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein two adjacent R.sub.2 in the compound of formula I together with the atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted heterocycle selected from ##STR00850##

7. The method of claim 1, wherein two adjacent R.sub.2 in the compound of formula I together with the atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted heterocycle selected from ##STR00851##

8. The method of claim 1, wherein two adjacent R.sub.2 in the compound of formula I together with the atoms to which they are attached form ##STR00852##

9. The method of claim 1, wherein ring A in the compound of formula I is selected from ##STR00853##

10. The method of claim 1, wherein ring A in the compound of formula I is ##STR00854##

11. The method of claim 1, wherein 1 R.sub.3 in the compound of formula I is halo.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein 1 R.sub.3 in the compound of formula I is F.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein R'.sub.3 and an adjacent R.sub.3 in the compound of formula I together with the atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted heterocycle.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein R'.sub.3 and an adjacent R.sub.3 in the compound of formula I together with the atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted 3 to 7 membered heterocycle in which one or more of the ring atoms is N, O, S, or combination thereof.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein R'.sub.3 and an adjacent R.sub.3 together with the atoms to which they are attached form an optionally substituted 7 membered heterocycle in which one or more of the ring atoms is N, O, S, or combination thereof.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of formula I is administered as a pharmaceutical composition additionally comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or adjuvant.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the composition comprises an additional agent selected from a mucolytic agent, bronchodialator, an anti-biotic, an anti-infective agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, CFTR modulator, or a nutritional agent.

18. A method of treating or lessening the severity of a disease in a patient, wherein the disease is selected from cystic fibrosis, hereditary emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and dry-eye disease, comprising administering to the patient a compound of claim 1.
