Sulfonylureas and sulfonylthioureas as NLRP3 inhibitors

The present invention relates to sulfonylureas and sulfonylthioureas comprising a 5-membered heteroaryl ring attached to the sulfonyl group, wherein the heteroaryl ring is di-substituted at the 3- and 4-positions relative to the point of attachment of the sulfonyl group, wherein at least one of the di-substituents contains a nitrogen atom. The present invention further relates to salts, solvates and prodrugs of such compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and to the use of such compounds in the treatment and prevention of medical disorders and diseases, most especially by the inhibition of NLRP.sub.3.

Compounds

The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I), wherein Q is selected from O or S; R.sup.1 is a 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl group consisting of one or more carbon atoms, and one or more nitrogen and/or oxygen atoms, and substituted with a monovalent, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl or heterocyclic group, wherein the 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl group of R.sup.1 may optionally be further substituted; R.sup.2 is an α,α′-substituted cyclic group which may optionally be further substituted; R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each independently hydrogen, halogen, —OH, —NH.sub.2, —CN, —R.sup.5, —OR.sup.5, —NHR.sup.5 or —N(R.sup.5).sub.2; or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 together with the carbon atom to which they are attached may form a 3- to 7-membered saturated or unsaturated, optionally substituted cyclic group; and R.sup.5 is independently an optionally substituted C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl group. The present invention further relates to salts, solvates and prodrugs of such compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and to the use of such compounds in the treatment and prevention of medical disorders and diseases, most especially by the inhibition of NLRP3. ##STR00001##
