Described herein are Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors, methods of making such inhibitors, and pharmaceutical compositions containing such inhibitors.
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) plays an important role in signal transduction in B cells and is a factor that contributes to the survival, differentiation, proliferation, and activation of B cells. There is currently a need for methods of treating diseases in which B cells or mast cells participate. Btk is also known to participate in mast cell activation and in the physiological functions of platelets. Therefore, Btk inhibitors are effective for the treatment of diseases in which B cells or mast cells participate, for example, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, thromboembolic diseases, and cancers.
The Btk inhibitors described herein have the following Formula (I):
In Formula (I), A is N or CR1; B, C, and D are each N or C—H, with the proviso that only one or two of A, B, C, and D can be N. R1 is hydrogen, amino, OH, CN, —NHOH or CONH2; R2 is
—X-E is one of the followings: (1) X is O, OCRaRb, S(O), S(O)2, CRaRb, CRaRbO, NRc(C═O), C═ONRc or a bond; and E is a hydrogen, an aryl or a heteroaryl substituted with one to three R5 substituents; or a 3-7 membered saturated or partially unsaturated carbocyclic ring, an 8-10 membered bicyclic saturated, partially unsaturated or aryl ring, a 5-6 membered monocyclic heteroaryl ring having 1-4 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, a 4-7 membered saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic ring having 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, a 7-10 membered bicyclic saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic ring having 1-5 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, or an 8-10 membered bicyclic heteroaryl ring having 1-5 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur; or (2) —X-E is hydrogen, halogen, —ORa, —O(CH2)1-4Ra, —CN, —NO2. R4 and R5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, cyano, OCF3, OCF2H, C1-6 alkyl, optionally substituted with one to five fluorines, C3-6 cycloalkyl, optionally substituted with one to five fluorines, C1-4 alkoxy, optionally substituted with one to five fluorines, C1-4 alkylthio, optionally substituted with one to five fluorines, C1-4 alkylsulfonyl, optionally substituted with one to five fluorines, carboxy, C1-4 alkyloxycarbonyl, and C1-4 alkylcarbonyl. Ra and Rb are each independently hydrogen, fluorine, or C1-3 alkyl, optionally substituted with one to five fluorines. Rc is hydrogen or C1-3 alkyl, optionally substituted with one to five fluorines. R3 is a group having a double bond.

These examples further illustrate details for the preparation of the compounds of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that known variations in the conditions and processes can be used to prepare such compounds.
The Btk inhibitor compounds of Formula I can be prepared by methods well known in the art of organic chemistry. The starting material used for the synthesis of these compounds can be either synthesized or obtained from commercial sources, such as, but not limited to, China chemical companies or Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co. (St. Louis, Mo.) at China. The compounds described herein, and other related compounds having different substituents are optionally synthesized using techniques and materials, such as described, for example, in March, ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 4th Ed., (Wiley 1992); Carey and Sundberg, ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 4th Ed., Vols. A and B (Plenum 2000, 2001); Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volumes 1-17 (John Wiley and Sons, 1991); Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Volumes 1-5 and Supplementals (Elsevier Science Publishers, 1989); Organic Reactions, Volumes 1-40 (John Wiley and Sons, 1991); and Larock's Comprehensive Organic Transformations (VCH Publishers Inc., 1989). Other methods for the synthesis of compounds described herein may be found in United States Patent Application Publication No. US 2011/0130429 A1, Burgeyet al. Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemisty Letters 10 (2006) 5052-5056. The definitions of chemistry terms used in this application may be found in these reference (if not otherwise defined herein). As a guide the following synthetic methods may be utilized.
During the synthetic sequences it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This is achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in T. W Greene and P. G. M. Wutts “Protective groups in Organic Synthesis” 3rd Edition, John Wiley and Sons, 1999. The protective groups are optionally removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods well known in the art. The products of the reactions are optionally isolated and purified. If desired, using conventional techniques, but not limited to, filtration, distillation crystallization, chromatography and the like. Such materials are optionally characterized using conventional means, including physical constant and spectra data.
Compounds described herein may possess one or more sterocenters and each center may exist in the R or S configuration. The compounds presented herein include all diasterometic, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof.
The Btk inhibitor compounds of Formula I can be, for example, 1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine derivatives. Specifically, the Btk inhibitor compounds of Formula I can be, for example, compounds F, wherein R1-R2 have the previously defined meanings. A non-limiting example of a synthetic approach towards the preparation of compounds F can be prepared by the general synthetic route shown in Scheme I and Scheme II.
Referring to Scheme I, different aldehyde (B), in which FG is a functional group (e.g. ester, protected anilines, protected phenols, bromide), could be added to a range of substituted o-haloaromatics A to form an alcohol, followed by oxidation of the product C with CrO3 in acetone to give benzoyl D. Ring closure D with (NH2)2—H2O under reflux to obtain the key intermediates indazole E. Intermediate E is coupled with R2OH via Mitsunobu reaction or with R2OTs via replacement to give the intermediate G, which then are derivatived by metal catalyst coupling reaction using appropriately substituted phenylboronic acid (corresponding boronic esters may also be used) directly affords the desired compounds F. In a typical procedure, a mixture of intermediates G, a copper catalyst (e.g. Cu(OAc)2), base (e.g. TEA, DIPEA or the like) and an aryl boronic acid or aryl boronic ester in a suitable solvent such as DCM, or toluene to form compounds F (FG is converted to groups defined for XAr).
Referring to Scheme II, compounds F can be obtained from another route, selective ortho-lithiation in dry THF with LDA in suitu made and later reaction with DMF to afford aldehyde H, which reacts with (NH2)2-H2O under reflux to obtain the key intermediates indazole I, then regioselective bromination or iodation with Br2/I2 or NBS/NIS to afford compound J. Coupling reaction of the 1-nitrogen on the indazole with R2OH via Mitsunobu reaction or with R2OTs via replacement to give the intermediate K, which then are derivatived by metal catalyst coupling reaction using appropriately substituted phenylboronic acid (corresponding boronic esters may also be used) affords a key intermediate G or directly affords the desired compounds F. The transformation from G to F is synthesized in a similar manner as before showed at Scheme I.
Alternatively, compound F can be obtained from compounds G, in which FG is a functional group (e.g. ester, protected anilines, protected phenols, bromide) that can be easily converted to groups defined for XAr. Non-limiting examples of suitable functional groups in compounds G are a benzyl ether, dibenzyl anime, or methyl ester, which can be treated with base or Pd/C/H2 to form the key intermediates G-1a, G-2a, G-3a, then form corresponding compounds F-1, F-2, F-3, F-4 at Scheme III.
The deprotection reactions for the protective groups of compound F in Scheme IV are known and can be run by the methods described below. Examples here are (a) deprotection reaction under acidic conditions for Boc protecting group and (b) deprotection reactions based on hydrogenolysis for benzyl protecting group. After deprotection with these conditions, coupling with, but not limited to, an acid chloride, such as, but not limited to, aryloyl chloride, completes the synthesis to provide compound F-b.

By using the fluorescently tagged derivative PCI-33380, we found that 25 nM of compound 77; 50 nM of compound 3, 78, 79, 80, 83, 100 nM of Compound 2, 4, 17, 41, 43, 69, 71, 73, 98 and 99 were sufficient to fully occupy the active site of Btk in human mantle cell lymphoma cell lines Jeko-1 cells in culture.
For analysis of Btk occupancy in Babc/L mice following oral dosing of compounds after 4 hours. Isolating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with mouse peripheral blood separation kit (Hao Yang Biological Manufacture CO., LTD, Tianjin) were collected from Babc/L mice (1 ml blood from two mice). Spleens were processed to splenocytes followed by 5 min incubation in red blood cell lysing buffer (from mouse peripheral blood separation kit). PBMCs or splenocytes were then PCI-33380labeled and lysates analyzed by fluorescent gel scanning as described in cellular assays. Compound 2, 3, 4, 71 were achieved full occupancy at 10 mg/kg single oral dose in all Babc/L mice. Compound 73, 91 were achieved full occupancy at 5 mg/kg single oral dose in all Babc/L mice.
The present application claims priority to U.S. provisional application No. 62/281,252, filed on Jan. 21, 2016, which is incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.
