Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • This disclosure is directed to small molecule agonists of the chemokine receptor CXCR3, and product containing the same, as well as to methods related to the use of such small molecule agonists.
  • BACKGROUND
  • The chemokine receptor CXCR3 is a member of the seven transmembrane-spanning G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. CXCR3 is primarily expressed on activated T lymphocytes and NK cells. CXCL9/Mig, CXCL10/IP-10 and CXCL11/I-TAC, the natural chemokine ligands for CXCR3, are involved in directing activated T cells and other cells, such as NK cells, to sites of inflammation. CXCR3 has been implicated in Th1 cell-mediated inflammation, and upregulation of CXCR3 has been shown in a number of diseases involving T cells, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and diabetes, to name a few.
  • CXCR3 receptor agonists inhibit migration of activated T lymphocytes and NK cells. As described by O'Boyle et al (“Chemokine receptor CXCR3 agonist prevents human T-cell migration in a humanized model of arthritic inflammation,” PNAS, 109(12):4598-4603, 2012), generalized chemokine receptor desensitization can be induced by specific stimulation of a CXCR3 receptor on the surface of activated T cells, resulting in the inhibition of the inflammatory response that is normally produced. In effect, CXCR3 receptor agonists may act as functional antagonists through chemokine receptor desensitization.
  • Prior efforts directed to the identification of small molecule agonists of CXCR3 have been undertaken, resulting in the identification of several compounds. As described by Stroke et al (“Identification of CXCR3 receptor agonists in combinatorial small-molecule libraries,” Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communication, 349:221-228, 2006), high-throughput screening of encoded combinatorial libraries have identified two classes of receptor agonists. In one class, compounds A and B have been identified, while the other class includes compound C:
  • Figure US20190345133A1-20191114-C00001
  • While advances have been made in this field, there remains a significant need for small molecule agonists of CXCR3, as well as for products and methods related to the same. The present disclosure fulfills these and other needs, as described in more detail in the following detailed description.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

      • or R8 and R9 taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a heterocyclyl substituted with 0-4 R4 groups and optionally substituted with oxo (═O) or thioxo (═S).
  • As used herein, “alkyl” groups include straight chain and branched alkyl groups and cycloalkyl groups having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, and typically from 1 to 12 carbons (C1-C12 alkyl), or, in some embodiments, from 1 to 8 carbon atoms (C1-C8 alkyl), or, in some embodiments, from 1 to 4 carbon atoms (C1-C4 alkyl). In the case of cycloalkyl groups, such groups have from 3-20 carbon atoms as more specifically defined below. Examples of straight chain alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, and n-octyl groups. Examples of branched alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, isopropyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl, neopentyl, isopentyl, and 2,2-dimethylpropyl groups.
  • “Alkenyl” groups include straight and branched chain and cyclic alkyl groups as defined above, except that at least one double bond exists between two carbon atoms. Thus, alkenyl groups have from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms, and typically from 2 to 12 carbons or, in some embodiments, from 2 to 8 carbon atoms. Examples include, but are not limited to —CH═CH2, —CH═CH(CH3), —CH═C(CH3)2, —C(CH3)═CH2, —C(CH3)═CH(CH3), —C(CH2CH3)═CH2, —CH═CHCH2CH3, —CH═CH(CH2)2CH3, —CH═CH(CH2)3CH3, —CH═CH(CH2)4CH3, vinyl, cyclohexenyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexadienyl, butadienyl, pentadienyl, and hexadienyl among others.
  • “Alkynyl” groups include straight and branched chain alkyl groups, except that at least one triple bond exists between two carbon atoms. Thus, alkynyl groups have from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms, and typically from 2 to 12 carbons or, in some embodiments, from 2 to 8 carbon atoms. Examples include, but are not limited to —C≡CH, —C≡C(CH3), —C≡C(CH2CH3), —CH2C≡CH, —CH2C≡C(CH3), and —CH2C≡C(CH2CH3), among others.
  • “Cycloalkyl” groups are alkyl groups forming a ring structure, which can be substituted or unsubstituted, wherein the ring is either completely saturated, partially unsaturated, or fully unsaturated, wherein if there is unsaturation, the conjugation of the pi-electrons in the ring do not give rise to aromaticity. Examples of cycloalkyl include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, and cyclooctyl groups. In some embodiments, the cycloalkyl group has 3 to 8 ring members, whereas in other embodiments the number of ring carbon atoms range from 3 to 5, 3 to 6, or 3 to 7. Cycloalkyl groups further include polycyclic cycloalkyl groups such as, but not limited to, norbornyl, adamantyl, bornyl, camphenyl, isocamphenyl, and carenyl groups, and fused rings such as, but not limited to, decalinyl, and the like.
  • “(Cycloalkyl)alkyl” groups, also referred to as “cycloalkylalkyl”, are alkyl groups as defined above in which a hydrogen or carbon bond of the alkyl group is replaced with a bond to a cycloalkyl group as defined above.
  • The term “cycloalkenyl” alone or in combination denotes a cyclic alkenyl group wherein at least one double bond is present in the ring structure. Cycloalkenyl groups include cycloalkyl groups having at least one double bond between two adjacent carbon atoms. Thus for example, cycloalkenyl groups include but are not limited to cyclohexenyl, cyclopentenyl, and cyclohexadienyl groups, as well as polycyclic and/or bridging ring systems such as adamantine.
  • “(Cycloalkenyl)alkyl” groups, also referred to as “cycloalkylalkyl”, are alkyl groups as defined above in which a hydrogen or carbon bond of the alkyl group is replaced with a bond to a cycloalkenyl group as defined above.
  • The terms “carbocyclic” and “carbocyclyl” denote a ring structure wherein the atoms of the ring are carbon. In some embodiments, the carbocyclyl has 3 to 8 ring members, whereas in other embodiments the number of ring carbon atoms is 4, 5, 6, or 7. Carbocyclyl includes, for example, cycloalkyl and cycloalkenyl.
  • “(Carbocyclyl)alkyl” groups, also referred to as “carbocyclylalkyls”, are alkyl groups as defined above in which a hydrogen or carbon bond of the alkyl group is replaced with a bond to a carbocyclyl as defined above.
  • A “nonaromatic carbocyclyl” or a “nonaromatic carbocyclylalkyl” is a group in which the carbocyclic ring of the carbocyclyl or carbocyclylalkyl is a completely saturated, a partially unsaturated, or a fully unsaturated carbocyclyl, wherein if there is unsaturation, the conjugation of the pi-electrons of the carbocyclic ring do not give rise to aromaticity.
  • “Aryl” groups are cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that do not contain heteroatoms. Thus aryl groups include, but are not limited to, phenyl, azulenyl, heptalenyl, biphenyl, indacenyl, fluorenyl, phenanthrenyl, triphenylenyl, pyrenyl, naphthacenyl, chrysenyl, biphenylenyl, anthracenyl, and naphthyl groups. In some embodiments, aryl groups contain 6-14 carbons in the ring portions of the groups. The phrase “aryl groups” includes groups containing fused rings, such as fused aromatic-aliphatic ring systems (e.g., indanyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, and the like).
  • “Aralkyl” groups are alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl groups as defined above in which a hydrogen atom of an alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group is replaced with an aryl group as defined above. Representative aralkyl groups include benzyl (—CH2phenyl), phenylethyl (—CH2CH2phenyl) and phenylethylene (—CH═CHphenyl) groups and fused (cycloalkylaryl)alkyl groups such as 4-ethyl-indanyl. Aralky groups can be substituted on the aryl moiety, the alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl moiety, or both.
  • “Heterocyclyl” or “heterocyclic” groups include aromatic and non-aromatic ring moieties containing 3 or more ring members, of which one or more is a heteroatom such as, but not limited to, N, O, S, or P. In some embodiments, heterocyclyl groups include 3 to 20 ring members, whereas other such groups have 3 to 15 ring members, including for example single ring systems containing 5, 6 or 7 ring members. At least one ring contains a heteroatom, but every ring in a polycyclic system need not contain a heteroatom. For example, a dioxolanyl ring and a benzdioxolanyl ring system (methylenedioxyphenyl ring system) are both heterocyclyl groups within the meaning herein. A heterocyclyl group designated as a C2-heterocyclyl can be a 5-ring with two carbon atoms and three heteroatoms, a 6-ring with two carbon atoms and four heteroatoms, and so forth. Likewise a C4-heterocyclyl can be a 5-ring with one heteroatom, a 6-ring with two heteroatoms, and so forth. The number of carbon atoms plus the number of heteroatoms sums up to equal the total number of ring atoms.
  • The term “heterocyclyl” includes fused ring species including those having fused aromatic and non-aromatic groups. The phrase also includes polycyclic and/or bridging ring systems containing a heteroatom such as, but not limited to, quinuclidyl and 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane. A heterocyclyl group as defined herein can be a heteroaryl group or a partially or completely saturated cyclic group including at least one ring heteroatom.

  • “Heteroaryl” groups are aromatic ring moieties containing 5 or more ring members, of which, one or more is a heteroatom such as, but not limited to, N, O, and S. A heteroaryl group designated as a C2-heteroaryl can be a 5-ring with two carbon atoms and three heteroatoms, a 6-ring with two carbon atoms and four heteroatoms and so forth. Likewise a C4-heteroaryl can be a 5-ring with one heteroatom, a 6-ring with two heteroatoms, and so forth. The number of carbon atoms plus the number of heteroatoms sums up to equal the total number of ring atoms. Heteroaryl groups include, but are not limited to, groups such as pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, pyridinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidyl, pyrazyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, thiadiazolyl, imidazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thienyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, triazinyl, thiazolyl, thiophenyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, benzothiophenyl, benzofuranyl, indolyl, azaindolyl, indazolyl, benzimidazolyl, azabenzimidazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzothiadiazolyl, imidazopyridinyl, isoxazolopyridinyl, thianaphthalenyl, purinyl, xanthinyl, adeninyl, guaninyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, quinoxalinyl, and quinazolinyl groups.

  • A “monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic, aromatic or partially aromatic ring” as the term is used herein refers to a ring system including an unsaturated ring possessing 4n+2 pi electrons, or a partially reduced (hydrogenated) form thereof. The aromatic or partially aromatic ring can include additional fused, bridged, or spiro rings that are not themselves aromatic or partially aromatic. For example, naphthalene and tetrahydronaphthalene are both a “monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic, aromatic or partially aromatic ring” within the meaning herein. Also, for example, a benzo-[2.2.2]-bicyclooctane is also a “monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic, aromatic or partially aromatic ring” within the meaning herein, containing a phenyl ring fused to a bridged bicyclic system. A fully saturated ring has no double bonds therein, and is carbocyclic or heterocyclic depending on the presence of heteroatoms within the meaning herein.
  • When two “R” groups are said to be joined together or taken together to form a ring, it is meant that together with the carbon atom or a non-carbon atom (e.g., nitrogen atom), to which they are bonded, they may form a ring system. In general, they are bonded to one another to form a 3- to 7-membered ring, or a 5- to 7-membered ring. Non-limiting specific examples are the cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, pyrolidinyl, pyrrolyl, pyridinyl.
  • The term “alkoxy” refers to an oxygen atom connected to an alkyl group, including a cycloalkyl group, as are defined above. Examples of linear alkoxy groups include but are not limited to methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, n-butoxy, n-pentyloxy, n-hexyloxy, n-heptyloxy, n-octyloxy n-nonyloxy, and the like. Examples of branched alkoxy include but are not limited to isopropoxy, sec-butoxy, tert-butoxy, isopentyloxy, isohexyloxy, and the like. Examples of cyclic alkoxy include but are not limited to cyclopropyloxy, cyclobutyloxy, cyclopentyloxy, cyclohexyloxy, and the like.
  • The terms “aryloxy” and “arylalkoxy” refer to, respectively, an aryl group bonded to an oxygen atom and an aralkyl group bonded to the oxygen atom at the alkyl moiety. Examples include but are not limited to phenoxy, naphthyloxy, and benzyloxy.
  • An “acyl” group as the term is used herein refers to a group containing a carbonyl moiety wherein the group is bonded via the carbonyl carbon atom. The carbonyl carbon atom is also bonded to another carbon atom, which can be part of an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, heterocyclyl, heterocyclylalkyl, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkyl group or the like. In the special case wherein the carbonyl carbon atom is bonded to hydrogen, the group is a “formyl” group, an acyl group as the term is defined herein. An acyl group can include 0 to about 12-20 additional carbon atoms bonded to the carbonyl group. An acyl group can include double or triple bonds within the meaning herein. An acryloyl group is an example of an acyl group. An acyl group can also include heteroatoms within the meaning here. A nicotinoyl group (pyridyl-3-carbonyl) group is an example of an acyl group within the meaning herein. Other examples include acetyl, benzoyl, phenylacetyl, pyridylacetyl, cinnamoyl, and acryloyl groups and the like. When the group containing the carbon atom that is bonded to the carbonyl carbon atom contains a halogen, the group is termed a “haloacyl” group. An example is a trifluoroacetyl group.
  • The term “amine” includes primary, secondary, and tertiary amines having, e.g., the formula N(group)3 wherein each group can independently be H or non-H, such as alkyl, aryl, and the like. Amines include but are not limited to R—NH2, for example, alkylamines, arylamines, alkylarylamines; R2NH wherein each R is independently selected, such as dialkylamines, diarylamines, aralkylamines, heterocyclylamines and the like; and R3N wherein each R is independently selected, such as trialkylamines, dialkylarylamines, alkyldiarylamines, triarylamines, and the like. The term “amine” also includes ammonium ions as used herein.
  • An “amino” group is a substituent of the form —NH2, —NHR, —NR2, —NR3 +, wherein each R is independently selected, and protonated forms of each. Accordingly, any compound substituted with an amino group can be viewed as an amine.
  • An “ammonium” ion includes the unsubstituted ammonium ion NH4 +, but unless otherwise specified, it also includes any protonated or quaternarized forms of amines. Thus, trimethylammonium hydrochloride and tetramethylammonium chloride are both ammonium ions, and amines, within the meaning herein.
  • The term “amide” (or “amido”) includes C- and N-amide groups, i.e., —C(O)NR2, and —NRC(O)R groups, respectively. Amide groups therefore include but are not limited to carbamoyl groups (—C(O)NH2) and formamide groups (—NHC(O)H). A “carboxamido” group is a group of the formula C(O)NR2, wherein R can be H, alkyl, aryl, etc.
  • The term “hydroxyl” refers to an —OH group.
  • The term “hydroxyalkyl” refers to an -alkyl-OH group.
  • The term “cyano” refers to a —CN group.

  • “Halo,” “halogen,” and “halide” include fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine.
  • The term “perhaloalkyl” refers to an alkyl group where all of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by halogen atoms. Perhaloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, —CF3 and —C(CF3)3. The term “haloalkyl” refers to an alkyl group where some but not necessarily all of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by halogen atoms. Haloalkyl groups include but are not limited to —CHF2 and —CH2F.
  • The term “perhaloalkoxy” refers to an alkoxy group where all of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by halogen atoms. Perhaloalkoxy groups include, but are not limited to, —OCF3 and —OC(CF3)3. The term “haloalkoxy” refers to an alkoxy group where some but not necessarily all of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by halogen atoms. Haloalkoxy groups include but are not limited to —OCHF2 and —OCH2F.
  • The compounds disclosed herein may be in the form of a neutral compound, or in the form of the free acid or free base. Alternatively, the compounds disclosed herein may be associated with a counter ion, and be in the form a salt. In one embodiment, the compound is in the form of a “pharmaceutically acceptable” salt, which refers to a salt possessing toxicity profiles within a range that affords utility in pharmaceutical applications.
  • A “hydrate” is a compound that exists in a composition with water molecules. The composition can include water in stoichiometric quantities, such as a monohydrate or a dihydrate, or can include water in random amounts. As the term is used herein a “hydrate” refers to a solid form (i.e., a compound in water solution, while it may be hydrated, is not a hydrate as the term is used herein).
  • A “solvate” is a similar composition except that a solvent other that water replaces the water. For example, methanol or ethanol can form an “alcoholate”, which can again be stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric. As the term is used herein a “solvate” refers to a solid form (i.e., a compound in solution in a solvent, while it may be solvated, is not a solvate as the term is used herein).
  • A prodrug is a substance that can be administered to a patient where the substance is converted in vivo by the action of biochemicals within the patient's body, such as enzymes, to the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Examples of prodrugs include esters of carboxylic acid groups, which can be hydrolyzed by endogenous esterases as are found in the bloodstream of humans and other mammals. In one embodiment of the present invention, substances are provided that can be administered to a patient where the substance is converted in vivo by the action of biochemical within the patient's body, such as enzymes, to a compound having the structure of any one of Formulas (I)-(IV).
  • The term “isotope” refers to atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, and an isotope of a compound of Formula (I) includes any such compound wherein one or more atoms are replaced by an isotope of that atom. For example, carbon 12, the most common form of carbon, has six protons and six neutrons, whereas carbon 13 has six protons and seven neutrons, and carbon 14 has six protons and eight neutrons. Hydrogen has two stable isotopes, deuterium (one proton and one neutron) and tritium (one proton and two neutrons). While fluorine has a number of isotopes, fluorine 19 is longest-lived. Thus, an isotope of a compound having the structure of Formula (I) includes, but not limited to, compounds of Formula (I) wherein one or more carbon 12 atoms are replaced by carbon 13 and/or 14 atoms, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium and/or tritium, and/or wherein one or more fluorine atoms are replaced by fluorine 19.
  • In addition, where features or aspects of the invention are described in terms of Markush groups, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention is also thereby described in terms of any individual member or subgroup of members of the Markush group. For example, if X is described as selected from the group consisting of bromine, chlorine, and iodine, claims for X being bromine and claims for X being bromine and chlorine are fully described. Moreover, where features or aspects of the invention are described in terms of Markush groups, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention is also thereby described in terms of any combination of individual members or subgroups of members of Markush groups. Thus, for example, if X is described as selected from the group consisting of bromine, chlorine, and iodine, and Y is described as selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, and propyl, claims for X being bromine and Y being methyl are fully described.
  • All chiral, diastereomeric, racemic forms of a structure are intended, unless a particular stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated. Compounds of the present invention include enriched or resolved optical isomers at any or all asymmetric atoms as are apparent from the depictions, at any degree of enrichment. Both racemic and diastereomeric mixtures, as well as the individual optical isomers can be synthesized so as to be substantially free of their enantiomeric or diastereomeric partners, and these are all within the scope of certain embodiments of the invention.
  • “Isolated optical isomer” means a compound which has been substantially purified from the corresponding optical isomer(s) of the same formula. In an embodiment, the isolated isomer is at least about 80% pure by weight, or at least 80% pure by weight, or at least 85% pure by weight. In other embodiments, the isolated isomer is at least 90% pure by weight, or at least 98% pure by weight, or at least 99% pure by weight.
  • “Substantially enantiomerically or diastereomerically” pure means a level of enantiomeric or diastereomeric enrichment of one enantiomer with respect to the other enantiomer or diastereomer of at least 80%, and in other embodiments means in excess of 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%, 99.5% or 99.9%.
  • Enantiomers are sometimes called optical isomers because a pure enantiomer rotates plane-polarized light in a particular direction. If the light rotates clockwise, then that enantiomer is labeled “(+)” or “d” for dextrorotatory, its counterpart will rotate the light counterclockwise and is labeled “(−)” or “1” for levorotatory.
  • The terms “racemate” and “racemic mixture” are frequently used interchangeably. A racemate is an equal mixture of two enantiomers. A racemate is labeled “(±)” because it is not optically active (i.e., will not rotate plane-polarized light in either direction since its constituent enantiomers cancel each other out).
  • All structures encompassed within a claim are “chemically feasible,” by which is meant that the structure depicted by any combination or subcombination of optional substituents meant to be recited by the claim is physically capable of existence with at least some stability as can be determined by the laws of structural chemistry and by experimentation. Structures that are not chemically feasible are not within a claimed set of compounds. Further, isotopes of the atoms depicted (such as deuterium and tritium in the case of hydrogen) are encompassed within the scope of this invention.
  • Phrases such as “under conditions suitable to provide” or “under conditions sufficient to yield” or the like, in the context of methods of synthesis, as used herein refers to reaction conditions, such as time, temperature, solvent, reactant concentrations, and the like, that are within ordinary skill for an experimenter to vary, that provide a useful quantity or yield of a reaction product. It is not necessary that the desired reaction product be the only reaction product or that the starting materials be entirely consumed, provided the desired reaction product can be isolated or otherwise further used.
  • The term “heteroatoms” as used herein refers to non-carbon and non-hydrogen atoms, capable of forming covalent bonds with carbon, and is not otherwise limited. Typical heteroatoms are N, O, and S. When sulfur (S) is referred to, it is understood that the sulfur can be in any of the oxidation states in which it is found, thus including sulfoxides (R—S(O)—R′) and sulfones (R—S(O)2—R′), unless the oxidation state is specified; thus, the term “sulfone” encompasses only the sulfone form of sulfur; the term “sulfide” encompasses only the sulfide (R—S—R′) form of sulfur.

  • As used herein, “individual” (as in the subject or patient of the treatment) means both mammals and non-mammals. Mammals include, for example, humans; non-human primates, e.g., apes and monkeys; cattle; horses; sheep; and goats. Non-mammals include, for example, fish and birds.
  • A “receptor”, as is well known in the art, is a biomolecular entity usually comprising a protein that specifically binds a structural class of ligands or a single native ligand in a living organism, the binding of which causes the receptor to transduce the binding signal into another kind of biological action, such as signaling a cell that a binding event has occurred, which causes the cell to alter its function in some manner. Any molecule, naturally occurring or not, that binds to a receptor and activates it for signal transduction, is referred to as an “agonist” or “activator.” Any molecule, naturally occurring or not, that binds to a receptor, but does not cause signal transduction to occur, and which can block the binding of an agonist and its consequent signal transduction, is referred to as an “antagonist.” Certain molecules bind to receptors at locations other than the binding sites of their natural ligands and such allosteric binding molecules may potentiate, activate or agonize the receptor and may enhance the effect of a natural ligand or a co-administered ligand.
  • A “CXCR3 compound” or “CXCR3 agonist” or “CXCR3 activator” or “CXCR3 modulator” or “CXCR3 antagonist” or “CXCR3 potentiator” or “CXCR3 modulator” as the terms are used herein refer to compounds that interact in some way with the CXCR3 receptor. They can be agonists, potentiators, or activators, or they can be antagonists or inhibitors, and can be selective for action of the CXCR3 receptor family.
  • The term “disease” or “disorder” or “malcondition” are used interchangeably, and are used to refer to diseases or conditions wherein a CXCR3 receptor plays a role in the biochemical mechanisms involved in the disease or malcondition or symptom(s) thereof such that a therapeutically beneficial effect can be achieved by acting on a CXCR3 receptor.
  • “Substantially” as the term is used herein means completely or almost completely; for example, a composition that is “substantially free” of a component either has none of the component or contains such a trace amount that any relevant functional property of the composition is unaffected by the presence of the trace amount, or a compound is “substantially pure” is there are only negligible traces of impurities present.
  • “Treating” or “treatment” within the meaning herein refers to an alleviation of symptoms associated with a disorder or disease, or inhibition of further progression or worsening of those symptoms, or prevention or prophylaxis of the disease or disorder.
  • The expression “effective amount”, when used to describe use of a compound of the invention in providing therapy to a patient suffering from a disorder or malcondition mediated by a CXCR3 receptor refers to the amount of a compound of the invention that is effective to bind to as an agonist or as an antagonist a CXCR3 receptor in the individual's tissues, wherein the CXCR3 is implicated in the disorder, wherein such binding occurs to an extent sufficient to produce a beneficial therapeutic effect on the patient. Similarly, as used herein, an “effective amount” or a “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound of the invention refers to an amount of the compound that alleviates, in whole or in part, symptoms associated with the disorder or condition, or halts or slows further progression or worsening of those symptoms, or prevents or provides prophylaxis for the disorder or condition. In particular, a “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic result by acting as an agonist of CXCR3 activity. A therapeutically effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of compounds of the invention are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. For example, in the context of treating a malcondition mediated by activation of a CXCR3 receptor, a therapeutically effective amount of a CXCR3 receptor antagonist of the invention is an amount sufficient to control the malcondition, to mitigate the progress of the malcondition, or to relieve the symptoms of the malcondition.
  • In the following disclosure, reference to “a compound of Formula I” is intended to include the more specific embodiment of Formulas II-XII, as well as the compounds listed in the above Tables A and B.
  • In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition is provided comprising a compound of Formula I together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient.
  • In certain embodiments, a method is provided for activating, potentiating, or agonizing (i.e., to have an agonic effect, to act as an agonist) a CXCR3 receptor, with a compound of Formula I. The method involves contacting the receptor with a suitable concentration of a compound of Formula I to bring about activation of the receptor. The contacting can take place in vitro, for example in carrying out an assay to determine the CXCR3 receptor activation activity of a compound undergoing experimentation related to a submission for regulatory approval.
  • In certain embodiments, the method for activating a CXCR3 receptor can be carried out in vivo; that is, within the living body of a mammal, such as a human patient or a test animal. The compound of Formula I can be supplied to the living organism via a suitable route (e.g., orally), or can be provided locally within the body tissues.
  • In one embodiment, a method is provided for treatment of a disease or condition in a subject or patient for which activation of a CXCR3 receptor is medically indicated, wherein the subject or patient is administered a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I.
  • In one embodiment, a method is provided for treating or preventing a disease or condition comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula I together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient to a subject or patient in need thereof.
  • In more specific embodiments, the subject or patient is afflicted with, or at risk of developing, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or inflammatory bowel disease.
  • In certain embodiments, use of a compound of Formula I is provided for preparation of a medicament.
  • In certain embodiments, methods are provided for synthesis of compounds of Formula I, including compounds of the invention as more fully illustrated herein.

After 2 h, the reaction mixture was partitioned between DCM (5 mL) and al M aqueous solution of HCl (100 mL). The layers were separated using a phase sep-cartridge and the aqueous layer was re-extracted with DCM (100 mL). The combined organic phases were concentrated. The crude product was purified by chromatography (EA/isohexane) to afford 2.6 g (93%) of Intermediate 13 as a white foaming solid. LCMS [m/z] calculated for C37H41N3O7: 639.3; found 662.1 [M+Na]+, tR=2.85 min (Method 4).

  • Example 48 Biological Assays
  • CXCR3 cAMP Assay
  • The cAMP Hunter™ CHOK1 CXCR3 Gi cell line was purchased from DiscoveRx. Cells were seeded into a 96-well white assay plate at 50,000 cells/well/94 μl assay buffer (Hank's Buffered Saline Solution, 10 mM HEPES, 0.1% fatty acid-free BSA, pH 7.4) and immediately assayed in suspension. Forskolin was added to 20 μM (5 μl of 400 μM stock) simultaneously with a 12-point dose response curve of compound at 0-10 μM (1 μl of 100× stock in 100% DMSO), and cells were incubated for 30 minutes. A cAMP standard curve is run as an assay control. A CXCL11 dose response was included to determine maximum efficacy. Direct detection of cAMP was carried out using the DiscoveRx HitHunter cAMP kit according to manufacturer's instructions, and luminescence was read using a SpectraMax M5 plate reader.

  • Preparation of Study Samples and Standards for Analysis by LC-MS/MS
  • 50 μL of plasma was aliquoted into a 96 well deep-well polypropylene plate (2 mL) to which 5 μL of DMSO was added. For standards, 5 μl of test compound in DMSO at 10× the standard concentration was added to 50 μL of blank matrix in a 96 well deep-well polypropylene plate. For example, for a 300 nM standard, the 10×DMSO concentration was 3 M. Study samples that require dilution are diluted with the appropriate blank matrix. For example, for a 10× dilution, 5 μL of study sample is added to 45 μL of blank matrix. Protein was precipitated from study samples and standards with the addition of 150 μL of acetonitrile. After a clean plate map was placed firmly over the top of the 96-well plate, a bench top shaker was used for 1 min to ensure complete precipitation of protein. The precipitated protein was pelleted by centrifuging for 3,000 rpm for 10 min at 20° C. and then the clear supernatant was transferred to a clean 96-well plate and spun again under the same conditions in order to pellet any solid material that may have been transferred.
  • Analysis of Study Samples and Standards with LCMS with MRM Detection
  • An Agilent 1200 HPLC with binary pump and a Leap CTC with fast wash autosampler were used to introduce samples to the mass spectrometer. The reversed phase chromatography method was as shown in the following Table 37.
  • TABLE 37

  • The column used was a Phenomenex Luna C8 30×2 mm 5 m with a security guard. Mass detection was performed by an Applied Biosystems 4000 Qtrap in MRM mode and ionization was achieved by positive electrospray with a source temperature of 500° C. The ion transitions, depolarizing potential and collision energies were dependent on the specific analyte.
  • Prepared samples were usually analyzed in reverse chronological order with bracketing standard curves. Typically at least 6 standards were used for quantification with a percent accuracy of +/−15% for all standards except at the LLOQ where a percent accuracy of +/−20% was allowed. The concentration time profile was fit using a one compartment model for the applicable mode of dosing using Phoenix WinNonLin 6.4.
  • The results of these assays are presented in the following Tables 38, 39 and 40.
