The compounds can also be isotope-labeled with .sup.2H, .sup.11C, .sup.13C, .sup.15N, .sup.17O, .sup.18O, .sup.18F, .sup.32P, .sup.35S, and .sup.36Cl. Certain isotope-labeled disclosed compounds (e.g., those labeled with .sup.3H and .sup.14C) are useful in compound and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e., .sup.3H) and carbon-14 (i.e., .sup.14C) isotopes can allow for ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., H) can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements). Isotopically labeled disclosed compounds can generally be prepared by substituting an isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. In some embodiments, provided herein are compounds that can also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of atoms that constitute such compounds. All isotopic variations of compounds of the present disclosure, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0153] The term isomers as used herein generally refers to different compounds that have the same molecular formula, including any and all geometric isomers, tautomers and stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are isomers that differ only in the way the atoms are arranged in space. For example, isomers include geometric double bond cis- and trans-isomers, also termed E- and Z-isomers; R- and S-enantiomers; diastereomers, (d)-isomers and (l)-isomers, racemic mixtures thereof; and other mixtures thereof, as falling within the scope of this disclosure, unless specified otherwise. As used herein, the term tautomer is a type of isomer that includes two or more interconvertible compounds resulting from at least one formal migration of a hydrogen atom and at least one change in valency (e.g., a single bond to a double bond, a triple bond to a single bond, or vice versa).

[0154] The term each independently, as used herein, means that at least two groups (or ring systems) present in a structure with the same or similar value ranges may have the same or different meanings under certain circumstances. For example, if substituent X and substituent Y are each independently hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, alkyl or aryl, then when substituent X is hydrogen, substituent Y can be hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, alkyl or aryl. Similarly, when the substituent Y is hydrogen, the substituent X can be hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, alkyl or aryl.

[0155] The terms optional or optionally, as used herein, mean that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes both the occurrence and the non-occurrence of the subsequent event or circumstance.

[0156] In some embodiments, the compound(s) of Formulas (I), (II), (III), (IV), or (V) is used to treat a subject by administering the compound(s) as a pharmaceutical composition. To this end, the compound(s), in one embodiment, is combined with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, including carriers, diluents or adjuvants, to form a suitable composition, which is described in more detail herein.

[0157] The term excipient as used herein generally refers to any pharmaceutically acceptable additive, carrier, adjuvant, or other suitable ingredient, other than the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), which is typically included for formulation and/or administration purposes.

[0158] The term diluent as used herein generally refers to an agent used as filler in order to achieve the desired composition volume or weight. The diluent may be present in the pharmaceutical composition within granules in the form of a single compound or in the form of a mixture of compounds. Non-limiting examples of diluent include lactose, starch, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, silicified microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose acetate, dextrose, mannitol, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, calcium phosphate, fructose, maltose, sorbitol, or sucrose.

[0159] The term adjuvant, as used herein generally refers to any substance or mixture of substances that increases the efficacy or potency of a compound disclosed herein on a target where the adjuvant is used together with the compound disclosed herein. However, when the adjuvant is used alone, no pharmacological effect is observed on the same target.

[0160] The terms treat, treating, treatment, and therapy as used herein generally refer to therapy, including without limitation, curative therapy, prophylactic therapy, and preventative therapy. Prophylactic treatment generally constitutes either preventing the onset of disorders altogether or delaying the onset of a pre-clinically evident stage of disorders in individuals. Treatment includes the medical management of a patient with the intent to cure, ameliorate, stabilize, or prevent a disease, pathological condition, or disorder. This term includes active treatment, that is, treatment directed specifically toward the improvement of a disease, pathological condition, or disorder, and also includes causal treatment, that is, treatment directed toward removal of the cause of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder. In addition, this term includes palliative treatment, that is, treatment designed for the relief of symptoms rather than the curing of the disease, pathological condition, or disorder, preventative treatment, that is, treatment directed to minimizing or partially or completely inhibiting the development of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder, and supportive treatment, that is, treatment employed to supplement another specific therapy directed toward the improvement of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder.

[0161] As used herein, the term prevent or preventing refers to precluding, averting, obviating, forestalling, stopping, or hindering something from happening, especially by advance action. It is understood that where reduce, inhibit or prevent are used herein, unless specifically indicated otherwise, the use of the other two words is also expressly disclosed.

[0162] The term effective amount or therapeutically effective amount, as used herein, refers to a sufficient amount of an agent or a compound being administered which will relieve one or more of the symptoms of the disease or condition being treated to some extent; achieve the goal of improvement in disorder severity and the frequency of incidence over treatment of each agent by itself, the result thereof can be reduction and/or alleviation of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system; while avoiding adverse side effects typically associated with alternative therapies. For example, an effective amount for therapeutic uses is the amount of the composition as disclosed herein required to provide a clinically significant decrease in disease symptoms. An appropriate effective amount in any individual case may be determined using techniques, such as a dose escalation study. The effective amount, in one embodiment, is administered in a single dosage form or in multiple dosage forms.

[0163] Regardless of the route of administration selected, the compounds of the present invention, which may be used in a suitable hydrated form, and/or the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, are formulated into pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms or by other conventional methods known to those of skill in the art.

[0164] Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be varied so as to obtain an effective amount of the active ingredient to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient.

[0165] The selected dosage level will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the particular compound of the present invention employed, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the particular hedgehog inhibitor employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors well known in the medical arts.

[0166] A physician or veterinarian having ordinary skill in the art can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition required. For example, the physician or veterinarian could start doses of the compounds of the invention employed in the pharmaceutical composition at levels lower than that required in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved.

[0167] In general, a suitable daily dose of a compound of the invention will be that amount of the compound which is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above. Generally, intravenous, intracerebroventricular and subcutaneous doses of the compounds of this invention for a patient will range from about 0.0001 to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day. The mode of administration can have a large effect on dosage. Higher doses may be used for localized routes of delivery.

[0168] If desired, the effective daily dose of the active compound may be administered as two, three, four, five, six or more sub-doses administered separately at appropriate intervals throughout the day, optionally, in unit dosage forms. Those of skill in the art will readily appreciate that dose levels can vary as a function of the specific compound, the severity of the symptoms and the susceptibility of the subject to side effects. Dosages for a given compound disclosed herein are readily determinable by those of skill in the art by a variety of means.

Pharmaceutical Compositions/Formulations

[0169] One embodiment provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formulas (I), (II), (III), (IV), or (V), or a stereoisomer, tautomer, hydrate, solvate or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

[0170] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are formulated into pharmaceutical compositions. Pharmaceutical compositions are formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable inactive ingredients that facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations that can be used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. A summary of pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be found, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Nineteenth Ed., Easton, Pa.: Mack Publishing Company (1995); Hoover, John E., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pennsylvania (1975); Liberman, H. A. and Lachman, L., Eds., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, Marcel Decker, New York, N.Y.

[0171] A pharmaceutical composition, as used herein, refers to a mixture of a compound of Formulas (I), (II), (III), (IV), or (V) with other chemical components (i.e. pharmaceutically acceptable inactive ingredients), such as carriers, excipients, binders, filling agents, suspending agents, flavoring agents, sweetening agents, disintegrating agents, dispersing agents, surfactants, lubricants, colorants, diluents, solubilizers, moistening agents, plasticizers, stabilizers, penetration enhancers, wetting agents, anti-foaming agents, antioxidants, preservatives, or one or more combination thereof. The pharmaceutical composition facilitates administration of the compound to an organism. In practicing the methods of treatment or use provided herein, therapeutically effective amounts of compounds described herein are administered in a pharmaceutical composition to a mammal having a disease, disorder, or condition to be treated. In some embodiments, the mammal is a human. A therapeutically effective amount can vary widely depending on the severity of the disease, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the compound used and other factors. The compounds can be used singly or in combination with one or more therapeutic agents as components of mixtures.

[0172] The pharmaceutical formulations described herein are administered to a subject by appropriate administration routes, including but not limited to, oral, parenteral (e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular), intranasal, buccal, topical, rectal, or transdermal administration routes.

Synthetic Methods

[0175] The examples and preparations provided below illustrated and exemplify the compounds described herein and methods of preparing such compounds. In general, the compounds described herein may be prepared by processes known in the general chemical arts.

[0176] The compounds of the present invention can be prepared using various synthetic routes, including those described below, starting from commercially available materials. Starting materials of the invention, are either known, commercially available, or can be synthesized in analogy to or according to methods that are known in the art. Many starting materials may be prepared according to known processes and, in particular, can be prepared using processes described in the examples. In synthesizing starting materials, functional groups in some cases are protected with suitable protecting groups when necessary. Functional groups may be removed according to known procedures in the art.

[0177] The protection of functional groups by protecting groups, the protecting groups themselves, and their removal reactions (commonly referred to as deprotection) are described, for example, in standard reference works, such as J. F. W. McOmie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press, London and New York (1973), in T. W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Wiley, New York (1981), in The Peptides, Volume 3, E. Gross and J. Meienhofer editors, Academic Press, London and New York (1981).

[0178] All synthetic procedures described herein can be carried out under known reaction conditions, advantageously under those described herein, either in the absence or in the presence (usually) of solvents or diluents.

[0179] The invention further encompasses intermediate compounds, including structures produced from the synthetic procedures described, whether isolated or not, prior to obtaining the finally desired compound. Structures resulting from carrying out steps from a transient starting material, structures resulting from divergence from the described method(s) at any stage, and structures forming starting materials under the reaction conditions are all intermediates included in the invention. Further, structures produced by using starting materials in the form of a reactive derivative or salt, or produced by a compound obtainable by means of the process according to the invention and structures resulting from processing the compounds of the invention in situ are also within the scope of the invention.

[0180] New starting materials and/or intermediates, as well as processes for the preparation thereof, are likewise the subject of this invention. In select embodiments, such starting materials are used and reaction conditions so selected as to obtain the desired compound(s).

[0181] Starting materials of the invention, are either known, commercially available, or can be synthesized in analogy to or according to methods that are known in the art. Many starting materials may be prepared according to known processes and, in particular, can be prepared using processes described in the examples. In synthesizing starting materials, functional groups in some cases are protected with suitable protecting groups when necessary. Protecting groups, their introduction and removal are described above.

[0182] All reagents and solvents were obtained commercially unless stated otherwise. All commercial reagents and solvent were used without purification unless stated otherwise. When required, some reagents and solvents were purified by standard techniques. For example, tetrahydrofuran may be purified by distillation from sodium. All thin-layer chromatography (TLC, GF254) analyses and column purification (100-200 mesh) were performed on silica gel (Qingdao Haiyang Chemical Co. Ltd. or Yantai Chemical Co. Ltd.), using petroleum ether (b.p. 60-90 C.)/ethyl acetate (v/v) as eluent; and spots revealed by UV visualization at 254 nm and I.sub.2 vapor or phosphomolybdic acid. All organic layers after extraction were dried over anhydrous Na.sub.2SO.sub.4 unless stated otherwise. All nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (.sup.1H NMR) were recorded using a Varian-400 spectrometer at 400 MHz using TMS as an internal standard. LC-MS was run using an Agilent 1100 system with LC-MSDTrap recorder, diode array detector (DAD) with detecting wavelength at 214 nm and 254 nm, and ESI source. The HPCL column is an AgelaDurashell C18 3.5 m 4.650 mm column. Gradients were run using 0.1 NH.sub.4HCO.sub.3 aqueous solution and acetonitrile with gradient 5/95 to 95/5 in the run time indicated (for example, 5 min), flow rate at 1.8 mL/min.

[0183] The size and scale of the synthetic methods will vary depending on the desired amount of end product. It is understood that while specific reactants and amounts are provided in the Examples, one of skill in the art knows other alternative and equally feasible sets of reactants that will also yield the same compounds. Thus, where general oxidizers, reducers, solvents of various nature (aprotic, apolar, polar, etc.) are utilized, equivalents will be known in the art and are herein contemplated for use in the present methods.

[0184] Many of the steps below indicate various work-ups following termination of the reaction. A work-up involves generally quenching of a reaction to terminate any remaining catalytic activity and starting reagents. This is generally followed by addition of an organic solvent and separation of the aqueous layer from the organic layer. The product is typically obtained from the organic layer and unused reactants and other spurious side products and unwanted chemicals are generally trapped in the aqueous layer and discarded. The work-up in standard organic synthetic procedures found throughout the literature is generally followed by drying the product by exposure to a drying agent, such as anhydrous Na.sub.2SO.sub.4, to remove any excess water or aqueous byproducts remaining partially dissolved in the organic layer and concentration of the remaining organic layer. Concentration of product dissolved in solvent may be achieved by any known means, such as evaporation under pressure, evaporation under increased temperature and pressure, and the like. Such concentrating may be achieved by use of standard laboratory equipment such as rotary-evaporator distillation, and the like. This is optionally followed by one or more purification steps which may include, but is not limited to, flash column chromatography, filtration through various media and/or other preparative methods known in the art and/or crystallization/recrystallization.

[0346] According to Table 2, Compounds A1-A8, A11-A14, A17-A19, A21, A23-A24, A26, A29-A31, A33-A35, A38-A42, A48-A51, A55-A56, A58-A59, A63, and A65-A67 displayed inhibitory activities on IFN, induced TYK2/JAK1 mediated STAT activation. Furthermore, by comparing the inhibitory effects of the five groups of Compounds A1, B5 and B10, A4 and B4, A6 and B6, A12 and B1, A17 and B7, respectively, it can be tentatively summarized that the compounds of the A series containing the B ring (e.g., pyrazole ring) have higher inhibitory activity compared with the compounds of the B series that do not contain the B ring in the general structure (see, e.g., Formulas (I)-(IV)).

Example 25, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA)

Experimental Procedure:

[0347] 1. Soak plate: Add 300 L 1 washing solution and let stand for 30 seconds. After discarding the washing solution, anhydrous the microporous plate on absorbent paper. [0348] 2. Add standard: Add 100 L of 2-fold standard to standard well. Add 100 L standard dilution (serum/plasma sample) or culture medium (cell culture supernatant sample) to blank well. [0349] 3. Add sample: Serum/plasma: Add 50 L 1 assay buffer and 50 L sample to sample well. Cell culture supernatant: Add 100 L cell culture supernatant to sample well. [0350] 4. Add detection antibody: Add 50 L diluted detection antibody (1:100 diluted) to each well. Make sure steps 4, 5 and 6 are added continuously without interruption. The sampling process was completed within 15 minutes. [0351] 5. Incubation: Use sealing plate film to seal the plate. Shake at 300 rpm and incubate for 2 hours at room temperature. [0352] 6. Washing: Discard the liquid, add 300 L of washing solution and wash the plate 6 times. Pat anhydrous on blotting paper after each wash. To obtain the desired experimental performance, the residual liquid must be completely removed. [0353] 7. Enzyme addition: Add 100 L diluted horseradish peroxidase labeled streptavidin to each well (1:100 diluted). [0354] 8. Incubation: Seal the plate with a new sealing film. Shake at 300 rpm and incubate at room temperature for 45 minutes. [0355] 9. Washing: Repeat step 8. [0356] 10. Add substrate for color development: Add 100 L of color development substrate TMB to each well, keep away from light, and incubate at room temperature for 5-30 minutes. [0357] 11. Add Stop Solution: Add 100 L stop solution to each well. The color changed from blue to yellow. If the color appears green or the color changes unevenly, gently tap the frame of the plate to mix well. [0358] 12. Assay readout: Within 30 minutes, perform dual wavelength detection using a microplate reader to measure the OD at the absorption maximum at 450 nm and reference wavelengths at 570 nm or 630 nm. The calibrated OD value is the measured value at 450 nm minus the measured value at 570 nm or 630 nm.

[0359] As shown in table 3. Compound A1 effectively inhibited IFN induced CXCL-10 in PBMC, thereby indicating the ability of Compound A1 to inhibit the JAK1/TYK2 signaling pathway. The inhibitory effect of A1 was better than that of BMS986165.

Example 26, Competitive Binding Assay

Experimental Procedure:

[0360] For most assays, kinase-tagged T7 phage strains were prepared in an E. coli host derived from the BL21 strain. E. coli were grown to log-phase and infected with T7 phage and incubated with shaking at 32 C. until lysis. The lysates were centrifuged and filtered to remove cell debris. The remaining kinases were produced in HEK-293 cells and subsequently tagged with DNA for qPCR detection. Streptavidin coated magnetic beads were treated with biotinylated small molecule ligands for 30 minutes at room temperature to generate affinity resins for kinase assays. The liganded beads were blocked with excess biotin and washed with blocking buffer (SeaBlock (Pierce), 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20, 1 mM DTT) to remove unbound ligand and to reduce non-specific binding. Binding reactions were assembled by combining kinases, liganded affinity beads, and test compounds in 1 binding buffer (20% SeaBlock, 0.17PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 6 mM DTT). Test compounds were prepared as 111X stocks in 100% DMSO. Dissociation constants (Kds) were determined using an 11-point 3-fold compound dilution series with three DMSO control points. All compounds for Kd measurements are distributed by acoustic transfer (non-contact dispensing) in 100% DMSO. The compounds were then diluted directly into the assays such that the final concentration of DMSO was 0.9%. All reactions performed in polypropylene 384-well plate. Each was a final volume of 0.02 ml. The assay plates were incubated at room temperature with shaking for 1 hour and the affinity beads were washed with wash buffer (1PBS, 0.05% Tween 20). The beads were then re-suspended in elution buffer (1PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 0.5 M nonbiotinylated affinity ligand) and incubated at room temperature with shaking for 30 minutes. The kinase concentration in the eluates was measured by qPCR.

[0361] An 11-point 3-fold serial dilution of each test compound was prepared in 100% DMSO at 100 final test concentration and subsequently diluted to 1 in the assay (final DMSO concentration=1%). Most Kds were determined using a compound top concentration=30,000 nM. If the initial Kd determined was <0.5 nM (the lowest concentration tested), the measurement was repeated with a serial dilution starting at a lower top concentration. A Kd value reported as 40,000 nM indicates that the Kd was determined to be >30,000 nM.

[0362] Binding constants (Kds) were calculated with a standard dose-response curve using the Hill equation:

[00001]$\mathrm{Response}=\mathrm{Background}+\frac{\mathrm{Signal}-\mathrm{Background}}{1+\left({\mathrm{Kd}}^{\mathrm{Hill}\mathrm{Slope}}/{\mathrm{Dose}}^{\mathrm{Hill}\mathrm{Slope}}\right)}$

[0363] The Hill Slope was set to 1.

[0364] Curves were fitted using a non-linear least square fit with the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.

[0365] As shown in Table 4, Compound A1 displayed strong affinity to TYK2 JH2 and JAK1 JH2, and weak affinity to JAK1 JH1, JAK2 JH1, JAK3 JH1 and TYK2 JH1. Compound A1 is more than 10,000 times more selective to bind JAK1 JH2 and TYK2 JH2 than to bind JAK1 JH1, JAK2 JH1, JAK3 JH1 and TYK2 JH1.

Example 27, Selectivity Evaluation

Purpose 1: To Test the Inhibitory Activity on JAK2/JAK2 Pathway

Experimental Procedure:

[0366] HEL cells were digested by trypsin, re-suspended in 1640 medium and counted. The compounds to be measured were added to 6 well plates (1 million/per well) for 2 hours, and then thrombopoietin (TPO)(final concentration: 100 ng/mL) was added to stimulate cells for 30 minutes. The cells were collected and lysed with protein lysate. The protein was quantitatively tested by bicinchoninic acid (BCA) kit. Finally, p-STAT3/STAT3 and internal reference protein -actin were detected by Western blot.

[0367] As shown in FIGS. 1-7, Compounds A1-A9, A12, A17, A29, A35, A38-A42, and A49-A50 were similar to BMS986165 and had no effect on TPO-induced downstream STAT3 phosphorylation. This observation indicated that these compounds have no inhibitory activity on the JAK2/JAK2 pathway. Therefore, Compounds A1-A9, A12, A17, A29, A35, A38-A42, A49-A50 had no inhibitory activity on JAK2. Pan-JAK inhibitor Ruxolitinib (Rux in FIGS. 2-6) can inhibit the JAK2/JAK2 pathway. JAK2 can pair with itself and is essential in platelet production, erythropoiesis, myelopoiesis, and keratinocyte production. Hence, inhibition of the JAK2 activity can lead to serious adverse effects such as thrombocytopenia and anemia. The compounds of the present invention have no JAK2 inhibitory activity and can avoid these adverse effects caused by the inhibition of JAK2.

Purpose 2: To Test the Inhibitory Activity on the TYK2/JAK2 Pathway

Experimental Procedure:

[0368] The spleen of mice was isolated and ground into single cells with bent tweezers. The single cells of the spleen were centrifuged for 5 minutes (400 g), and erythrocytes were lysed with Ammonium-Chloride-Potassium (ACK) solution and neutralized in 1640 medium, centrifuged for 5 minutes (400 g), and then re-suspended in 1640 medium. The spleen single cell suspension was counted, transferred to and incubated on a 6-well plate (5 million/well). The compounds to be tested were added. After 2 hours, IL-12 (50 ng/mL) was added to stimulate the cells for 1 h. The cells were collected and lysed with protein lysate. The protein was quantitatively tested by BCA kit. Finally, p-STAT4/STAT4 and internal reference protein S-actin were detected by Western blot.

[0369] As shown in FIGS. 8-12, Compounds A1-A5, A8-A9, A12, A17, A29, A35, A38-A42, and A49-A50 effectively inhibited the downstream STAT4 phosphorylation induced by IL-12, indicating that the compounds can inhibit the TYK2/JAK2 pathway, and the inhibitory activity was better than that of BMS986165. Combined with the results in FIGS. 1-7 showing that Compounds A1-A5, A8, A9, A12, A17, A29, A35, A38-A42, A49, and A50 did not inhibit JAK2, their inhibitory activities on the TYK2/JAK2 pathway mainly came from their selective inhibition of TYK2. Overall, the activity of A1-A5, A8-A9, A12, A17, A29, A35, A38-A42, and A49-A50 on TYK2 was superior to BMS986165.

Purpose 3: To Test the Inhibitory Activity of JAK1/JAK2 Pathway

Experimental Procedure:

[0370] HT-29 cells were digested by trypsin and suspended in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and counted. The tested compounds were added into the 6 well plates (400 000/per well). After 2 hours, IFN- (100 ng/mL) was added to stimulate cells for 30 minutes. The cells were collected and lysed with protein lysate. The protein was quantitatively tested by BCA kit. Finally, p-STAT1/STAT1 and internal reference protein -actin were detected by Western blot.

[0371] As shown in FIGS. 13-16, Compound BMS986165 had no effect on downstream STAT1 phosphorylation induced by IFN-, indicating that it had no inhibitory effect on the JAK1/JAK2 pathway, while Compounds A1-A2, A4-A6, A8-A9, A12, A17, A29, A35, A38-A42, A49-A50 and Ruxolitinib inhibited JAK1/JAK2 pathway in a concentration-dependent manner. Combined with the results in FIGS. 1-7 showing that Compounds A1-A2, A4-A6, A8-A9, A12, A17, A29, A35, A38-A42, A49-A50 had no inhibitory activity on JAK2, the inhibitory effects of A1-A2, A4-A6, A8-A9, A12, A17, A29, A35, A38-A42, and A49-A50 on the JAK1/JAK2 pathway came from their inhibition of JAK1. As a consequence, A1-A2, A4-A6, A8-A9, A12, A17, A29, A35, A38-A42, and A49-A50 had additional biological functions than BMS986165. With these unique selective inhibition profiles, the compounds of the present disclosure may become more efficiently treatment for autoimmune diseases.
