Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as are commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. In the event that there are a plurality of definitions for a term herein, those in this section prevail unless stated otherwise. As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, conventional methods of mass spectroscopy, NMR, HPLC, protein chemistry, biochemistry, recombinant DNA techniques, and pharmacology are employed. The use of “or” or “and” means “and/or” unless stated otherwise. Furthermore, use of the term “including” as well as other forms, such as “include,” “includes,” and “included,” is not limiting.

[0063] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) are to be given their ordinary and customary meaning to a person of ordinary skill in the art and are not to be limited to a special or customized meaning unless expressly so defined herein. It should be noted that the use of particular terminology when describing certain features or aspects of the disclosure should not be taken to imply that the terminology is being re-defined herein to be restricted to include any specific characteristics of the features or aspects of the disclosure with which that terminology is associated.

[0064] Where a range of values is provided, it is understood that the upper and lower limit, and each intervening value between the upper and lower limit of the range is encompassed within the embodiments.

[0065] As used herein, any “R” group(s) represent substituents that can be attached to the indicated atom. An R group may be substituted or unsubstituted. If two “R” groups are described as being “taken together,” the R groups and the atoms they are attached to can form cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl. For example, without limitation, if R.sup.a and R.sup.b, and the atom to which they are attached, are indicated to be “taken together” or “joined together,” it means that they are covalently bonded to one another to form a ring.

[0110] Where the number of substituents is not specified (e.g., haloalkyl), there can be one or more substituents present. For example, “haloalkyl” can include one or more of the same or different halogens.

[0111] The term “solvate” refers to a complex or aggregate formed by one or more molecules of a solute, e.g., a compound provided herein, and one or more molecules of a solvent, which are present in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, and acetic acid. In certain embodiments, the solvent is pharmaceutically acceptable. In one embodiment, the complex or aggregate is in a crystalline form. In another embodiment, the complex or aggregate is in a noncrystalline form. Where the solvent is water, the solvate is a hydrate. Examples of hydrates include, but are not limited to, a hemihydrate, monohydrate, dihydrate, trihydrate, tetrahydrate, and pentahydrate.

[0112] It is understood that, in any compound described herein having one or more chiral centers, if an absolute stereochemistry is not expressly indicated, then each center may independently be of R-configuration or S-configuration or a mixture thereof. Thus, the compounds provided herein can be enantiomerically pure or enantiomerically enriched, or can be stereoisomeric mixtures, and include all diastereomeric and enantiomeric forms. In addition, it is understood that, in any compound described herein having one or more double bond(s) generating geometrical isomers that can be defined as E or Z, each double bond can independently be E or Z or a mixture thereof. Stereoisomers are obtained, if desired, by methods such as, stereoselective synthesis and/or the separation of stereoisomers by chiral chromatographic columns. Likewise, it is understood that, in any compound described, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.

[0113] Wherever a substituent is depicted as a di-radical (i.e., has two points of attachment to the rest of a molecule), it is to be understood that the substituent can be attached in any directional configuration unless otherwise indicated. For example, unless a particular orientation is specified, the formula -AE- represents both -AE- and -EA-. In addition, if a group or substituent is depicted as

##STR00013##

and when L is defined as a bond or absent; such group or substituent is equivalent to

##STR00014##

In addition, when a group is depicted as a di-radical, such as X or ring A in Formula (II), one of ordinary skill in the art understands that the definition of such a group should also be di-radical. For example, when X is defined as phenyl, 5 to 6 membered heteroaryl, 5 to 6 membered heterocyclyl, or C.sub.3-C.sub.8 cycloalkyl, one skilled in the art understands that X is a phenylene, 5 to 6 membered heteroarylene, 5 to 6 membered heterocyclylene, or C.sub.3-C.sub.8 cycloalkylene.

[0114] It is to be understood that, where a compound disclosed herein has an unfilled valency, the valency is to be filled with hydrogen or deuterium.

[0115] It is understood that the compounds described herein can be labeled isotopically or by another other means, including, but not limited to, the use of chromophores or fluorescent moieties, bioluminescent labels, or chemiluminescent labels. Substitution with isotopes such as deuterium can afford certain therapeutic advantages from greater metabolic stability, such as, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Each chemical element as represented in a compound structure may include any isotope of said element. For example, in a compound structure, a hydrogen atom may be explicitly disclosed or understood to be present in the compound. At any position of the compound that a hydrogen atom may be present, the hydrogen atom can be any isotope of hydrogen, including, but not limited to, hydrogen-1 (protium), hydrogen-2 (deuterium), and hydrogen-3 (tritium). Thus, a reference herein to a compound encompasses all potential isotopic forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0116] It is understood that the methods and formulations described herein include the use of crystalline forms, amorphous phases, and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, and conformers of the compounds provided herein, as well as metabolites and active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity. A conformer is a structure that is a conformational isomer. Conformational isomerism is the phenomenon of a molecule with the same structural formula but different conformations (conformers) of atoms about a rotating bond. In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein exist in solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water or ethanol. In certain embodiments, the compounds provided herein exist in unsolvated form. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent and may be formed during the process of crystallization with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water or ethanol. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. In addition, the compounds provided herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms. Other forms in which the compounds provided herein can be provided include amorphous forms, milled forms, and nano-particulate forms.

[0117] Likewise, it is understood that a compound described herein include the compound in any of the forms described herein (e.g., pharmaceutically acceptable salts, crystalline forms, amorphous form, solvated forms, enantiomeric forms, and tautomeric forms).

[0118] As used herein, the abbreviations for any protective groups, amino acids, and other compounds are, unless indicated otherwise, in accord with their common usage, recognized abbreviations, or the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (See, Eur. J. Biochem. 1992, 204, 1-3).

[0119] The term “protecting group” as used herein refer to any atom or group of atoms that is added to a molecule in order to prevent existing groups in the molecule from undergoing unwanted chemical reactions. Examples of protecting group moieties are described in Greene and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd. Ed. John Wiley & Sons, 1999; and in McOmie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press, 1973; each of which is hereby incorporated by reference for the limited purpose of disclosing suitable protecting groups. The protecting group moiety may be chosen in such a way that they are stable to certain reaction conditions and readily removed at a convenient stage using methodology known in the art.

[0120] Generally, the nomenclature used herein and the laboratory procedures in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and pharmacology described herein are those well-known and commonly employed in the art.

[0124] The terms “alleviate” and “alleviating” refer to easing or reducing one or more symptoms (e.g., pain) of a disorder, disease, or condition. The terms can also refer to reducing adverse effects associated with an active ingredient. Sometimes, the beneficial effects that a subject derives from a prophylactic or therapeutic agent do not result in a cure of the disorder, disease, or condition.

[0125] The term “contacting” or “contact” is meant to refer to bringing together of a therapeutic agent and a biological molecule (e.g., a protein, enzyme, RNA, or DNA), cell, or tissue such that a physiological and/or chemical effect takes place as a result of such contact. Contacting can take place in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo. In one embodiment, a therapeutic agent is contacted with a biological molecule in vitro to determine the effect of the therapeutic agent on the biological molecule. In another embodiment, a therapeutic agent is contacted with a cell in cell culture (in vitro) to determine the effect of the therapeutic agent on the cell. In yet another embodiment, the contacting of a therapeutic agent with a biological molecule, cell, or tissue includes the administration of a therapeutic agent to a subject having the biological molecule, cell, or tissue to be contacted.

[0126] The term “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” is meant to include the amount of a compound that, when administered, is sufficient to prevent development of, or alleviate to some extent, one or more of the symptoms of the disorder, disease, or condition being treated. The term “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” also refers to the amount of a compound that is sufficient to elicit a biological or medical response of a biological molecule (e.g., a protein, enzyme, RNA, or DNA), cell, tissue, system, animal, or human, which is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor, or clinician.

[0127] The term “IC.sub.50” or “EC.sub.50” refers to an amount, concentration, or dosage of a compound that is required for 50% inhibition of a maximal response in an assay that measures such a response.

or an enantiomer, a mixture of enantiomers, a diastereomer, a mixture of two or more diastereomers, a tautomer, a mixture of two or more tautomers, or an isotopic variant thereof; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, or prodrug thereof.

[0418] In certain embodiments, a compound provided herein is isolated or purified. In certain embodiments, a compound provided herein has a purity of at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 98%, at least about 99%, or at least about 99.5% by weight.

[0419] The compounds provided herein are intended to encompass all possible stereoisomers, unless a particular stereochemistry is specified. Where a compound provided herein contains an alkenyl group, the compound may exist as one or mixture of geometric cis/trans (or Z/E) isomers. Where structural isomers are interconvertible, the compound may exist as a single tautomer or a mixture of tautomers. This can take the form of proton tautomerism in the compound that contains, for example, an imino, keto, or oxime group; or so-called valence tautomerism in the compound that contains an aromatic moiety. It follows that a single compound may exhibit more than one type of isomerism.

[0420] A compound provided herein can be enantiomerically pure, such as a single enantiomer or a single diastereomer, or be stereoisomeric mixtures, such as a mixture of enantiomers, e.g., a racemic mixture of two enantiomers; or a mixture of two or more diastereomers. As such, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that administration of a compound in its (R) form is equivalent, for the compound that undergoes epimerization in vivo, to administration of the compound in its (S) form. Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor, asymmetric synthesis from achiral starting materials, or resolution of an enantiomeric mixture, for example, chiral chromatography, recrystallization, resolution, diastereomeric salt formation, or derivatization into diastereomeric adducts followed by separation.

[0421] When a compound provided herein contains an acidic or basic moiety, it can also be provided as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. See, Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, 1-19; Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use, 2nd ed.; Stahl and Wermuth Eds.; John Wiley & Sons, 2011. In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound provided herein is a solvate. In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound provided herein is a hydrate.

[0422] Suitable acids for use in the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound provided herein include, but are not limited to, acetic acid, 2,2-dichloroacetic acid, acylated amino acids, adipic acid, alginic acid, ascorbic acid, L-aspartic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, 4-acetamidobenzoic acid, boric acid, (+)-camphoric acid, camphorsulfonic acid, (+)-(1S)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid, capric acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, cinnamic acid, citric acid, cyclamic acid, cyclohexanesulfamic acid, dodecylsulfuric acid, ethane-1,2-disulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonic acid, formic acid, fumaric acid, galactaric acid, gentisic acid, glucoheptonic acid, D-gluconic acid, D-glucuronic acid, L-glutamic acid, α-oxoglutaric acid, glycolic acid, hippuric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydroiodic acid, (+)-L-lactic acid, (±)-DL-lactic acid, lactobionic acid, lauric acid, maleic acid, (−)-L-malic acid, malonic acid, (±)-DL-mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid, naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, nicotinic acid, nitric acid, oleic acid, orotic acid, oxalic acid, palmitic acid, pamoic acid, perchloric acid, phosphoric acid, L-pyroglutamic acid, saccharic acid, salicylic acid, 4-amino-salicylic acid, sebacic acid, stearic acid, succinic acid, sulfuric acid, tannic acid, (+)-L-tartaric acid, thiocyanic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, undecylenic acid, and valeric acid.

[0423] Suitable bases for use in the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound provided herein include, but are not limited to, inorganic bases, such as magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, or sodium hydroxide; and organic bases, such as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary, aliphatic and aromatic amines, including, but not limited to, L-arginine, benethamine, benzathine, choline, deanol, diethanolamine, diethylamine, dimethylamine, dipropylamine, diisopropylamine, 2-(diethylamino)-ethanol, ethanolamine, ethylamine, ethylenediamine, isopropylamine, N-methyl-glucamine, hydrabamine, 1H-imidazole, L-lysine, morpholine, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-morpholine, methylamine, piperidine, piperazine, propylamine, pyrrolidine, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-pyrrolidine, pyridine, quinuclidine, quinoline, isoquinoline, triethanolamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, N-methyl-D-glucamine, 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol, and tromethamine.

[0424] A compound provided herein may also be provided as a prodrug, which is a functional derivative of the compound and is readily convertible into the parent compound in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent compound. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent compound is not. The prodrug may also have enhanced solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent compound. A prodrug may be converted into the parent drug by various mechanisms, including enzymatic processes and metabolic hydrolysis.

Example B1. Cell-based TNF-α Inhibition Assay

[0663] Frozen primary blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were quick thawed, washed once with RPMI 1640 media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin, and 1% streptomycin, and plated in a 96 well plate at 200,000 cells per well. The cells were pretreated with DMSO only as a control or a compound for 1 h, and then induced with LPS (lipopolysaccharide) (100 ng/mL) for 18-24 h. The supernatant was analyzed for TNF-α using the Meso Scale assay. Compound activity was determined as a percentage of the stimulated DMSO control. The results are summarized in Table 1, where A represents a percent inhibition value≥60%; B represents a percent inhibition value<60% and ≥40%; C represents a percent inhibition value<40% and >20%; and D represents a single percent inhibition value<20%.

Example B2. Protein Degradation Assay

[0664] A549 cells were grown in RPMI 1640 media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, streptomycin, and penicillin. The cells were plated in 6-well plates in the growth media. The next day, fresh growth media were replaced on the cells. The cells were then treated with a compound for 24 h at predetermined concentrations. Whole cell extracts were prepared using an immunoprecipitation (IP) lysis buffer. Briefly, the cells were washed once in PBS, and the cell pellets were resuspended in the IP lysis buffer and incubated for 15 min on ice. Cells debris was removed by centrifugation and the cleared whole cell lysates were transferred to new tubes for further analysis.

[0665] For a western blot analysis, the whole cell protein extracts were separated on 4-12% SDS-polyacrylamide gels, transferred to nitrocellulose, and probed with primary antibodies. Membranes were subsequently washed and probed with IRDYE® secondary antibodies. The signals were detected using an ODYSSEY® Imaging System. The antibodies used in the assay included anti-PDE4B antibody; anti-PDE4D antibodies (top, bottom, and short isoform); β-actin mouse monoclonal antibody; IRDYE® 680RD goat anti-rabbit antibody; and IRDYE® 800CW goat anti-mouse antibody. Compounds B2 to B4, B18, B49 to B52, B76, B77, B79, B81 to B83, B88, B89, and B91 were determined to be able to degradate PDE4B as high as about 50% relative to DMSO. Compounds B2 to B4, B16, B18, B43, B44, B47, B51, B52, B54, B58, B70, B74 to B79, B88, and B89 were determined to be able to degradate PDE4D, in particular, PDE4D short isoform, as high as about 95% relative to DMSO; whereas apremilast did not degradate the PDE4D under the same conditions.
