A novel phenyl acetamide series of short-acting T-type calcium channel antagonists has been identified and evaluated using in vitro and in vivo assays. Heterocycle substitutions of the 4-position of the phenyl acetamides afforded potent and selective antagonists that exhibited desired short plasma half-lives across preclinical species. Lead compound TTA-A8 emerged as a compound with excellent in vivo efficacy as indicated by its significant modulation of rat sleep architecture in an EEG telemetry model, favorable pharmacokinetic properties, and excellent preclinical safety. TTA-A8 recently progressed into human clinical trials, and in line with our predictions, preliminary studies (n = 12) with a 20 mg oral dose afforded a high Cmax of 1.82 ± 0.274 μM with an apparent terminal half-life of 3.0 ± 1.1 h.
