These compounds are also useful for treating, preventing or managing various disorders that are herein disclosed. PYRAZOLE DERIVATIVES AS SGC STIMULATORS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [001] This application claims priority from US provisional application numbers 62/051,557, filed September 17, 2014, and 62/204,710, filed August 13, 2015. The entire contents of each of these applications are hereby incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [002] The present disclosure relates to stimulators of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), pharmaceutical formulations comprising them and their uses thereof, alone or in combination with one or more additional agents, for treating and/or preventing various diseases, wherein an increase in the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) or an increase in the concentration of cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) might be desirable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [003] Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is the primary receptor for nitric oxide (NO) in vivo. sGC can be activated via both NO-dependent and NO-independent mechanisms. In response to this activation, sGC converts GTP into the secondary messenger cyclic GMP (cGMP). The increased level of cGMP, in turn, modulates the activity of downstream effectors including protein kinases, phosphodiesterases (PDEs) and ion channels. [004] In the body, NO is synthesized from arginine and oxygen by various nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzymes and by sequential reduction of inorganic nitrate. Three distinct isoforms of NOS have been identified: inducible NOS (iNOS or NOS II) found in activated macrophage cells; constitutive neuronal NOS (nNOS or NOS I), involved in neurotransmission and long term potentiation; and constitutive endothelial NOS (eNOS or NOS III) which regulates smooth muscle relaxation and blood pressure. [005] Experimental and clinical evidence indicates that reduced bioavailability and/or responsiveness to endogenously produced NO contributes to the development of cardiovascular, endothelial, renal and hepatic disease, as well as erectile dysfunction and other sexual disorders (e.g. female sexual disorder or vaginal atrophy). In particular, the NO signaling pathway is altered in cardiovascular diseases, including, for instance, systemic and pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, angina, stroke, thrombosis and other thromboembolic diseases, peripheral arterial disease, fibrosis of the liver, lung or kidney and atherosclerosis. [O j s sumulators+ are also useful m the+ treatment+ 01 lipid related+ disorders sucn as e.g., dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, sitosterolemia, fatty liver disease, and hepatitis. [007] Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a disease characterized by sustained elevation of blood pressure in the pulmonary vasculature (pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein and pulmonary capillaries), which results in right heart hypertrophy, eventually leading to right heart failure and death. In PH, the bioactivity of NO and other vasodilators such as prostacyclin is reduced, whereas the production of endogenous vasoconstrictors such as endothelin is increased, resulting in excessive pulmonary vasoconstriction. sGC stimulators have been used to treat PH because they promote smooth muscle relaxation, which leads to vasodilation. [008] Treatment with NO-independent sGC stimulators also promoted smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum of healthy rabbits, rats and humans, causing penile erection, indicating that sGC stimulators are useful for treating erectile dysfunction. [009] NO-independent, heme-dependent, sGC stimulators, such as those disclosed herein, have several important differentiating characteristics, including crucial dependency on the presence of the reduced prosthetic heme moiety for their activity, strong synergistic enzyme activation when combined with NO and stimulation of the synthesis of cGMP by direct stimulation of sGC, independent of NO. The benzylindazole compound YC-1 was the first sGC stimulator to be identified. Additional sGC stimulators with improved potency and specificity for sGC have since been developed. These compounds have been shown to produce anti-aggregatory, anti-proliferative and vasodilatory effects. [0010] Since compounds that stimulate sGC in an NO-independent manner offer considerable advantages over other current alternative therapies, there is a need to develop novel stimulators of sGC. They are potentially useful in the prevention, management and treatment of disorders such as pulmonary hypertension, arterial hypertension, heart failure, atherosclerosis, inflammation, thrombosis, renal fibrosis and failure, liver cirrhosis, lung fibrosis, erectile dysfunction, female sexual arousal disorder and vaginal atrophy and other cardiovascular disorders; they are also potentially useful for the prevention, management and treatment of lipid related disorders. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0011] The present invention is directed to compounds, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, useful as sGC stimulators. Compounds of the invention are depicted in Table IA or Table IB.

SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION 1.1. Introduction Thelin contains sitaxentan sodium, which is an endothelin receptor antagonist, with higher selectivity for the ETA receptor than the ETB receptor subtype. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vascular paracrine and autocrine peptide in the lung, and can also promote fibrosis, cell proliferation, cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling, and is pro-inflammatory. ET-1 concentrations are elevated in plasma and lung tissue of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), as well as other cardiovascular disorders and connective tissue diseases, including scleroderma, acute and chronic heart failure, myocardial ischaemia, systemic hypertension, and atherosclerosis, suggesting a pathogenic role of ET- 1 in these diseases. In PAH and heart failure, in the absence of endothelin receptor antagonism, elevated ET-1 concentrations are strongly correlated with the severity and prognosis of these diseases. Additionally, PAH is also characterised by reduced nitric oxide activity. ET-1 actions are mediated through endothelin A receptors (ETA), present on smooth muscle cells, and endothelin B receptors (ETB), present on endothelial cells.

    Access to New Medicines in New Zealand Compared to Australia

    THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association Access to new medicines in New Zealand compared to Australia Michael Wonder, Richard Milne Abstract Aim To compare access to new prescription-only medicines in New Zealand (NZ) with that in Australia. Method The range of new prescription medicines and the timing of their regulatory approval and reimbursement in NZ and Australia in the period 2000 to 2009 were compared. Results 136 new prescription medicines were first listed in the Australian Schedule of Pharmaceutical Benefits in the study period and 59 (43%) of these were listed in the NZ Pharmaceutical Schedule. Listing of these 59 medicines for reimbursement occurred later in NZ (mean difference=32.7 months; 95% CI 24.2 to 41.2 months; p<0.0001) due largely to a longer time from registration to listing (mean difference=23.7 months; 95% CI 14.9 to 32.4 months; p<0.0001). The remaining 77 medicines that are reimbursed in Australia but not in NZ cover a wide range of therapeutic areas, including some diseases for which there are no reimbursed medicines in NZ. Four new medicines were listed in NZ but not Australia. Conclusion In the last decade, public access to new medicines in NZ has been more limited and delayed compared to Australia. Access to new medicines is an ongoing public health issue in most developed countries. Many new medicines are costly and unaffordable for many patients; therefore public access is very limited. Governments are under continual pressure to provide timely access to new medicines, many of which are costly.
