The present invention relates to novel noncardiotoxic compounds and pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of a variety of disorders including the treatment of depression, allergies, psychoses, cancer and gastrointestinal disorders. In particular, the present invention describes pharmaceutical compositions that mitigate life-threatening arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes. Torsade de pointes is a particular cardiac problem associated with many therapeutic agents and has been implicated as a possible cause of sudden death, particularly in those individuals with a past history of disturbances of cardiac rhythm, myocardial infarction, congenital repolarization abnormalities and cardiac risk factors such as hyperlipidemia and age. This arrhythmia is a variant of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia associated with a prolonged QTc interval or prominent U waves on the ECG. Torsade de pointes is potentially lethal because it can progress to ventricular fibrillation, life-threatening arrhythmias or precipitate sudden death.

La présente invention se rapporte à de nouveaux composés et compositions pharmaceutiques non cardiotoxiques, qui sont utiles pour traiter une pluralité de troubles tels que la dépression, les allergies, les psychoses, le cancer et les troubles gastro-intestinaux. L'invention a trait en particulier à des compositions pharmaceutiques qui atténuent les arythmies constituant un danger de mort, telles que les torsades de pointes. Les torsades de pointes sont un problème cardiaque particulier associé à de nombreux agents thérapeutiques, et ont été identifiées comme étant une cause possible de mort subite, en particulier chez les personnes présentant des antécédents de perturbations du rythme cardiaque, d'infarctus du myocarde, des anomalies de repolarisation congénitales et des facteurs de risque cardiaque tels que l'hyperlipidémie et l'âge. Ladite arythmie est une variante de la tachycardie ventriculaire paroxystique associée à un intervalle QTc prolongé ou à des ondes U marquées sur l'ECG. Les torsades de pointes sont potentiellement létales, car elles peuvent évoluer en fibrillation ventriculaire, en arythmies constituant un danger de mort, ou provoquer une mort subite.
