Description
FIELD

The present invention relates to certain carbon-linked tetrahydro-pyrazolo-pyridine compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and methods of using them for the treatment of disease states, disorders, and conditions mediated by cathepsin S activity.


BACKGROUND

Cathepsin S is one of the major cysteine proteases expressed in the lysosome of antigen presenting cells, mainly dendritic cells, B cells and macrophages. Cathepsin S is best known for its critical function in the proteolytic digestion of the invariant chain chaperone molecules, thus controlling antigen presentation to CD4+ T cells by major histocompatibility complex class II molecules or to NK1.1+ T cells via CD1 molecules. Cathepsin S also appears to participate in direct processing of exogenous antigens for presentation by MHC class II to CD4+ T cells or crosspresentation by MHC class I molecules to CD8+ T cells. In addition, cathepsin S in secreted form is implicated in degradation of extracellular matrix, which may contribute to the pathology of a number of diseases, including arthritis, atherosclerosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Therefore, inhibition of cathepsin S is a promising target for the development of novel therapeutics for a variety of indications. For a review, see: Thurmond, R. L. et al. Curr. Opin. Invest. Drugs 2005, 6(5), 473-482.


Pyrazole inhibitors of cathepsin S were disclosed in a series of applications from Ortho-McNeil, and additional publications on this work have also appeared (See: U.S. Pat. Appl. Publ. Nos. 2002/0040020, 2003/0078419, and 2002/0040019; Wei, J. et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2007, 17, 5525-5528; Grice, C. A. et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2006, 16, 2209-2212; and Gustin, D. J. et al. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2005, 15, 1678-1691). See also: Thurmond, R. L. et al. J. Pharm. Exp. Ther. 2004, 308, 268-276; and Thurmond, R. L. et al. J. Med. Chem. 2004, 47, 4799-4801). However, there remains a need for potent cathepsin S modulators with desirable pharmaceutical properties.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that the species of heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, and heterocycloalkyl groups listed or illustrated above are not exhaustive, and that additional species within the scope of these defined terms may also be selected.


The term “halogen” represents chlorine, fluorine, bromine, or iodine. The term “halo” represents chloro, fluoro, bromo, or iodo.


The term “substituted” means that the specified group or moiety bears one or more substituents. The term “unsubstituted” means that the specified group bears no substituents. The term “optionally substituted” means that the specified group is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more substituents. Where the term “substituted” is used to describe a structural system, the substitution is meant to occur at any valency-allowed position on the system that yields a stable chemical structure.


Any formula given herein is intended to represent compounds having structures depicted by the structural formula as well as certain variations or forms. In particular, compounds of any formula given herein may have asymmetric centers and therefore exist in different enantiomeric forms. All optical isomers and stereoisomers of the compounds of the general formula, and mixtures thereof, are considered within the scope of the formula. Thus, any formula given herein is intended to represent a racemate, one or more enantiomeric forms, one or more diastereomeric forms, one or more atropisomeric forms, and mixtures thereof. Furthermore, certain structures may exist as geometric isomers (i.e., cis and trans isomers), as tautomers, or as atropisomers. Additionally, any formula given herein is intended to represent hydrates, solvates, and polymorphs of such compounds, and mixtures thereof.


To provide a more concise description, some of the quantitative expressions given herein are not qualified with the term “about”. It is understood that, whether the term “about” is used explicitly or not, every quantity given herein is meant to refer to the actual given value, and it is also meant to refer to the approximation to such given value that would reasonably be inferred based on the ordinary skill in the art, including equivalents and approximations due to the experimental and/or measurement conditions for such given value. Whenever a yield is given as a percentage, such yield refers to a mass of the entity for which the yield is given with respect to the maximum amount of the same entity that could be obtained under the particular stoichiometric conditions. Concentrations that are given as percentages refer to mass ratios, unless indicated differently.


Reference to a chemical entity herein stands for a reference to any one of: (a) the actually recited form of such chemical entity, and (b) any of the forms of such chemical entity in the medium in which the compound is being considered when named. For example, reference herein to a compound such as R—COOH, encompasses reference to any one of, for example, R—COOH(s), R—COOH(sol), and R—COO(sol). In this example, R—COOH(s) refers to the solid compound, as it could be for example in a tablet or some other solid pharmaceutical composition or preparation; R—COOH(sol) refers to the undissociated form of the compound in a solvent; and R—COO(sol) refers to the dissociated form of the compound in a solvent, such as the dissociated form of the compound in an aqueous environment, whether such dissociated form derives from R—COOH, from a salt thereof, or from any other entity that yields R—COO upon dissociation in the medium being considered. In another example, an expression such as “exposing an entity to compound of formula R—COOH” refers to the exposure of such entity to the form, or forms, of the compound R—COOH that exists, or exist, in the medium in which such exposure takes place. In this regard, if such entity is for example in an aqueous environment, it is understood that the compound R—COOH is in such same medium, and therefore the entity is being exposed to species such as R—COOH(aq) and/or R—COO(aq), where the subscript “(aq)” stands for “aqueous” according to its conventional meaning in chemistry and biochemistry. A carboxylic acid functional group has been chosen in these nomenclature examples; this choice is not intended, however, as a limitation but it is merely an illustration. It is understood that analogous examples can be provided in terms of other functional groups, including but not limited to hydroxyl, basic nitrogen members, such as those in amines, and any other group that interacts or transforms according to known manners in the medium that contains the compound. Such interactions and transformations include, but are not limited to, dissociation, association, tautomerism, solvolysis, including hydrolysis, salvation, including hydration, protonation, and deprotonation. No further examples in this regard are provided herein because these interactions and transformations in a given medium are known by any one of ordinary skill in the art.


Any formula given herein is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 33P, 33P, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, and 125I, respectively. Such isotopically labelled compounds are useful in metabolic studies (preferably with 14C), reaction kinetic studies (with, for example 2H or 3H), detection or imaging techniques [such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)] including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or in radioactive treatment of patients. In particular, an 18F or 11C labeled compound may be particularly preferred for PET or SPECT studies. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., 2H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Isotopically labeled compounds of this invention and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.


When referring to any formula given herein, the selection of a particular moiety from a list of possible species for a specified variable is not intended to define the same choice of the species for the variable appearing elsewhere. In other words, where a variable appears more than once, the choice of the species from a specified list is independent of the choice of the species for the same variable elsewhere in the formula, unless stated otherwise.


By way of a first example on substituent terminology, if substituent S1example is one of S1 and S2, and substituent S2example is one of S3 and S4, then these assignments refer to embodiments of this invention given according to the choices S1example is S1 and S2example is S3; S1example is S1 and S2example is S4; S example is S2 and S2example is S3; S1example is S2 and S2example is S4; and equivalents of each one of such choices. The shorter terminology “S1example is one of S1 and S2, and S2example is one of S3 and S4” is accordingly used herein for the sake of brevity, but not by way of limitation. The foregoing first example on substituent terminology, which is stated in generic terms, is meant to illustrate the various substituent assignments described herein. The foregoing convention given herein for substituents extends, when applicable, to any generic substituent symbol used herein.


Furthermore, when more than one assignment is given for any member or substituent, embodiments of this invention comprise the various groupings that can be made from the listed assignments, taken independently, and equivalents thereof. By way of a second example on substituent terminology, if it is herein described that substituent Sexample is one of S1, S2, and S3, this listing refers to embodiments of this invention for which Sexample is S1; Sexample is S2; Sexample is S3; Sexample is one of S1 and S2; Sexample is one of S1 and S3; Sexample is one of S2 and S3; Sexample is one of S1, S2 and S3; and Sexample is any equivalent of each one of these choices. The shorter terminology “Sexample is one of S1, S2, and S3” is accordingly used herein for the sake of brevity, but not by way of limitation. The foregoing second example on substituent terminology, which is stated in generic terms, is meant to illustrate the various substituent assignments described herein. The foregoing convention given herein for substituents extends, when applicable, to any generic substituent symbol used herein.


The nomenclature “Ci-j” with j>i, when applied herein to a class of substituents, is meant to refer to embodiments of this invention for which each and every one of the number of carbon members, from i to j including i and j, is independently realized. By way of example, the term C1-3 refers independently to embodiments that have one carbon member (C1), embodiments that have two carbon members (C2), and embodiments that have three carbon members (C3).


The term Cn-malkyl refers to an aliphatic chain, whether straight or branched, with a total number N of carbon members in the chain that satisfies n≦N≦m, with m>n.


Any disubstituent referred to herein is meant to encompass the various attachment possibilities when more than one of such possibilities are allowed. For example, reference to disubstituent -A-B-, where A≠B, refers herein to such disubstituent with A attached to a first substituted member and B attached to a second substituted member, and it also refers to such disubstituent with A attached to the second substituted member and B attached to the first substituted member.


According to the foregoing interpretive considerations on assignments and nomenclature, it is understood that explicit reference herein to a set implies, where chemically meaningful and unless indicated otherwise, independent reference to embodiments of such set, and reference to each and every one of the possible embodiments of subsets of the set referred to explicitly.

      and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, and metabolites thereof.



Other embodiments include combinations of the above variable definitions for Formula (I) and Formula (IV).


The invention includes also pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds represented by Formula (I), preferably of those described above and of the specific compounds exemplified herein, and methods of treatment using such salts.


A “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” is intended to mean a salt of a free acid or base of a compound represented by Formula (I) that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, or otherwise biologically suitable for administration to the subject. See, generally, S. M. Berge, et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts”, J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66:1-19, and Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts, Properties, Selection, and Use, Stahl and Wermuth, Eds., Wiley-VCH and VHCA, Zurich, 2002. Preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those that are pharmacologically effective and suitable for contact with the tissues of patients without undue toxicity, irritation, or allergic response. A compound of Formula (I) may possess a sufficiently acidic group, a sufficiently basic group, or both types of functional groups, and accordingly react with a number of inorganic or organic bases, and inorganic and organic acids, to form a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, phosphates, monohydrogen-phosphates, dihydrogenphosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, propionates, decanoates, caprylates, acrylates, formates, isobutyrates, caproates, heptanoates, propiolates, oxalates, malonates, succinates, suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, butyne-1,4-dioates, hexyne-1,6-dioates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, hydroxybenzoates, methoxybenzoates, phthalates, sulfonates, xylenesulfonates, phenylacetates, phenylpropionates, phenylbutyrates, citrates, lactates, γ-hydroxybutyrates, glycolates, tartrates, methane-sulfonates, propanesulfonates, naphthalene-1-sulfonates, naphthalene-2-sulfonates, and mandelates.


If the compound of Formula (I) contains a basic nitrogen, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acid, nitric acid, boric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, phenylacetic acid, propionic acid, stearic acid, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, maleic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, isethionic acid, succinic acid, valeric acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, lauric acid, a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, such as mandelic acid, citric acid, or tartaric acid, an amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid, 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, naphthoic acid, or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid, such as laurylsulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, any compatible mixture of acids such as those given as examples herein, and any other acid and mixture thereof that are regarded as equivalents or acceptable substitutes in light of the ordinary level of skill in this technology.


If the compound of Formula (I) is an acid, such as a carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method, for example, treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base, such as an amine (primary, secondary or tertiary), an alkali metal hydroxide, alkaline earth metal hydroxide, any compatible mixture of bases such as those given as examples herein, and any other base and mixture thereof that are regarded as equivalents or acceptable substitutes in light of the ordinary level of skill in this technology. Illustrative examples of suitable salts include organic salts derived from amino acids, such as glycine and arginine, ammonia, carbonates, bicarbonates, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, and cyclic amines, such as benzylamines, pyrrolidines, piperidine, morpholine, and piperazine, and inorganic salts derived from sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, and lithium.


The invention also relates to pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs of the compounds of Formula (I), pharmaceutical compositions containing such pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, and treatment methods employing such pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs. The term “prodrug” means a precursor of a designated compound that, following administration to a subject, yields the compound in vivo via a chemical or physiological process such as solvolysis or enzymatic cleavage, or under physiological conditions (e.g., a prodrug on being brought to physiological pH is converted to the compound of Formula (I)). A “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug” is a prodrug that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, and otherwise biologically suitable for administration to the subject. Illustrative procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in “Design of Prodrugs”, ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.


Examples of prodrugs include compounds having an amino acid residue, or a polypeptide chain of two or more (e.g., two, three or four) amino acid residues, covalently joined through an amide or ester bond to a free amino, hydroxy, or carboxylic acid group of a compound of Formula (I). Examples of amino acid residues include the twenty naturally occurring amino acids, commonly designated by three letter symbols, as well as 4-hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, demosine, isodemosine, 3-methylhistidine, norvalin, beta-alanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, citrulline homocysteine, homoserine, ornithine and methionine sulfone.


Additional types of prodrugs may be produced, for instance, by derivatizing free carboxyl groups of structures of Formula (I) as amides or alkyl esters. Examples of amides include those derived from ammonia, primary C1-6alkyl amines and secondary di(C1-6alkyl) amines. Secondary amines include 5- or 6-membered heterocycloalkyl or heteroaryl ring moieties. Examples of amides include those that are derived from ammonia, C1-3alkyl primary amines, and di(C1-2alkyl)amines. Examples of esters of the invention include C1-7alkyl, C5-7cycloalkyl, phenyl, and phenyl(C1-6alkyl) esters. Preferred esters include methyl esters. Prodrugs may also be prepared by derivatizing free hydroxy groups using groups including hemisuccinates, phosphate esters, dimethylaminoacetates, and phosphoryloxymethyloxycarbonyls, following procedures such as those outlined in Adv. Drug Delivery Rev. 1996, 19, 115. Carbamate derivatives of hydroxy and amino groups may also yield prodrugs. Carbonate derivatives, sulfonate esters, and sulfate esters of hydroxy groups may also provide prodrugs. Derivatization of hydroxy groups as (acyloxy)methyl and (acyloxy)ethyl ethers, wherein the acyl group may be an alkyl ester, optionally substituted with one or more ether, amine, or carboxylic acid functionalities, or where the acyl group is an amino acid ester as described above, is also useful to yield prodrugs. Prodrugs of this type may be prepared as described in J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 10. Free amines can also be derivatized as amides, sulfonamides or phosphonamides. All of these prodrug moieties may incorporate groups including ether, amine, and carboxylic acid functionalities.


The present invention also relates to pharmaceutically active metabolites of compounds of Formula (I), and uses of such metabolites in the methods of the invention. A “pharmaceutically active metabolite” means a pharmacologically active product of metabolism in the body of a compound of Formula (I) or salt thereof. Prodrugs and active metabolites of a compound may be determined using routine techniques known or available in the art. See, e.g., Bertolini, et al., J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40, 2011-2016; Shan, et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 1997, 86 (7), 765-767; Bagshawe, Drug Dev. Res. 1995, 34, 220-230; Bodor, Adv. Drug Res. 1984, 13, 224-331; Bundgaard, Design of Prodrugs (Elsevier Press, 1985); and Larsen, Design and Application of Prodrugs, Drug Design and Development (Krogsgaard-Larsen, et al., eds., Harwood Academic Publishers, 1991).


The compounds of Formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, and pharmaceutically active metabolites (collectively, “active agents”) of the present invention are useful in the methods of the invention.


The compounds of Formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, and pharmaceutically active metabolites, whether alone or in combination, (collectively, “active agents”) of the present invention are useful as cathepsin S modulators in the methods of the invention. Such methods for modulating cathepsin S activity comprise exposing cathepsin S to an effective amount of at least one chemical entity selected from compounds of Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs of compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically active metabolites of compounds of Formula (I). Embodiments of this invention inhibit cathepsin S activity.


In some embodiments, the cathepsin S is in a subject with a disease, disorder, or medical condition mediated through modulation of the cathepsin S, such as those described herein. Symptoms or disease states are intended to be included within the scope of “medical conditions, disorders, or diseases.”


Accordingly, the invention relates to methods of using the active agents described herein to treat subjects diagnosed with or suffering from a disease, disorder, or condition mediated through cathepsin S activity, such as an autoimmune disease, an allergic condition, inflammation, a bowel disorder, tissue transplant rejection, pain, or cancer. Active agents according to the invention may therefore be used as immunomodulating agents, immunosuppressants, anti-allergy agents, anti-inflammatory agents, analgesics, or anti-cancer agents.


In some embodiments, an active agent of the present invention is administered to treat lupus, asthma, allergic reaction, atopic allergy, hay fever, atopic dermatitis, food allergy, rhinitis (such as allergic rhinitis and the inflammation caused by non-allergic rhinitis), skin immune system disorders (such as psoriasis), uveitis, inflammation, upper airway inflammation, Sjögren's syndrome, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, type I diabetes, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), tissue transplant rejection, pain, neuropathic pain, chronic pain (such as pain due to conditions such as cancer, neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and inflammatory conditions), or cancer (and cancer-related processes such as angiogenesis, tumor growth, cell proliferation, and metastasis). In certain embodiments, an active agent of the present invention is administered to treat psoriasis, pain, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, or rheumatoid arthritis.


Thus, the active agents may be used to treat subjects diagnosed with or suffering from a disease, disorder, or condition mediated through cathepsin S activity. The term “treat” or “treating” as used herein is intended to refer to administration of an active agent or composition of the invention to a subject for the purpose of effecting a therapeutic or prophylactic benefit through modulation of cathepsin S activity. Treating includes reversing, ameliorating, alleviating, inhibiting the progress of, lessening the severity of, or preventing a disease, disorder, or condition, or one or more symptoms of such disease, disorder or condition mediated through modulation of cathepsin S activity. The term “subject” refers to a mammalian patient in need of such treatment, such as a human. “Modulators” include both inhibitors and activators, where “inhibitors” refer to compounds that decrease, prevent, inactivate, desensitize or down-regulate cathepsin S expression or activity, and “activators” are compounds that increase, activate, facilitate, sensitize, or up-regulate cathepsin S expression or activity.


In treatment methods according to the invention, an effective amount of at least one active agent according to the invention is administered to a subject suffering from or diagnosed as having such a disease, disorder, or condition. An “effective amount” means an amount or dose sufficient to generally bring about the desired therapeutic or prophylactic benefit in patients in need of such treatment for the designated disease, disorder, or condition. Effective amounts or doses of the active agents of the present invention may be ascertained by routine methods such as modeling, dose escalation studies or clinical trials, and by taking into consideration routine factors, e.g., the mode or route of administration or drug delivery, the pharmacokinetics of the agent, the severity and course of the disease, disorder, or condition, the subject's previous or ongoing therapy, the subject's health status and response to drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician. An exemplary dose is in the range of from about 0.001 to about 200 mg of active agent per kg of subject's body weight per day, preferably about 0.05 to 100 mg/kg/day, or about 1 to 35 mg/kg/day, or about 0.1 to 10 mg/kg daily in single or divided dosage units (e.g., BID, TID, QID). For a 70-kg human, an illustrative range for a suitable dosage amount is from about 0.05 to about 7 g/day, or about 0.2 to about 2.5 g/day.


Once improvement of the patient's disease, disorder, or condition has occurred, the dose may be adjusted for preventative or maintenance treatment. For example, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect is maintained. Of course, if symptoms have been alleviated to an appropriate level, treatment may cease. Patients may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms.


In addition, the active agents of the invention may be used in combination with additional active ingredients in the treatment of the above conditions. The additional active ingredients may be coadministered separately with an active agent of Formula (I) or included with such an agent in a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention. In an exemplary embodiment, additional active ingredients are those that are known or discovered to be effective in the treatment of conditions, disorders, or diseases mediated by cathepsin S activity, such as another cathepsin S modulator or a compound active against another target associated with the particular condition, disorder, or disease. The combination may serve to increase efficacy (e.g., by including in the combination a compound potentiating the potency or effectiveness of an agent according to the invention), decrease one or more side effects, or decrease the required dose of the active agent according to the invention.


The active agents of the invention are used, alone or in combination with one or more additional active ingredients, to formulate pharmaceutical compositions of the invention. A pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprises: (a) an effective amount of at least one active agent in accordance with the invention; and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.


A “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” refers to a substance that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, and otherwise biologically suitable for administration to a subject, such as an inert substance, added to a pharmacological composition or otherwise used as a vehicle, carrier, or diluent to facilitate administration of a agent and that is compatible therewith. Examples of excipients include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars and types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, vegetable oils, and polyethylene glycols.


Delivery forms of the pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more dosage units of the active agents may be prepared using suitable pharmaceutical excipients and compounding techniques known or that become available to those skilled in the art. The compositions may be administered in the inventive methods by a suitable route of delivery, e.g., oral, parenteral, rectal, topical, or ocular routes, or by inhalation.


The preparation may be in the form of tablets, capsules, sachets, dragees, powders, granules, lozenges, powders for reconstitution, liquid preparations, or suppositories. Preferably, the compositions are formulated for intravenous infusion, topical administration, or oral administration.


For oral administration, the active agents of the invention can be provided in the form of tablets or capsules, or as a solution, emulsion, or suspension. To prepare the oral compositions, the active agents may be formulated to yield a dosage of, e.g., from about 0.05 to about 50 mg/kg daily, or from about 0.05 to about 20 mg/kg daily, or from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg daily.


Oral tablets may include the active ingredient(s) mixed with compatible pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as diluents, disintegrating agents, binding agents, lubricating agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preservative agents. Suitable inert fillers include sodium and calcium carbonate, sodium and calcium phosphate, lactose, starch, sugar, glucose, methyl cellulose, magnesium stearate, mannitol, sorbitol, and the like. Exemplary liquid oral excipients include ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Starch, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP), sodium starch glycolate, microcrystalline cellulose, and alginic acid are exemplary disintegrating agents. Binding agents may include starch and gelatin. The lubricating agent, if present, may be magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. If desired, the tablets may be coated with a material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate to delay absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, or may be coated with an enteric coating.


Capsules for oral administration include hard and soft gelatin capsules. To prepare hard gelatin capsules, active ingredient(s) may be mixed with a solid, semi-solid, or liquid diluent. Soft gelatin capsules may be prepared by mixing the active ingredient with water, an oil such as peanut oil or olive oil, liquid paraffin, a mixture of mono and di-glycerides of short chain fatty acids, polyethylene glycol 400, or propylene glycol.


Liquids for oral administration may be in the form of suspensions, solutions, emulsions or syrups or may be lyophilized or presented as a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid compositions may optionally contain: pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients such as suspending agents (for example, sorbitol, methyl cellulose, sodium alginate, gelatin, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, aluminum stearate gel and the like); non-aqueous vehicles, e.g., oil (for example, almond oil or fractionated coconut oil), propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, or water; preservatives (for example, methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid); wetting agents such as lecithin; and, if desired, flavoring or coloring agents.


The active agents of this invention may also be administered by non-oral routes. For example, compositions may be formulated for rectal administration as a suppository. For parenteral use, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous routes, the agents of the invention may be provided in sterile aqueous solutions or suspensions, buffered to an appropriate pH and isotonicity or in parenterally acceptable oil. Suitable aqueous vehicles include Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride. Such forms may be presented in unit-dose form such as ampules or disposable injection devices, in multi-dose forms such as vials from which the appropriate dose may be withdrawn, or in a solid form or pre-concentrate that can be used to prepare an injectable formulation. Illustrative infusion doses range from about 1 to 1000 μg/kg/minute of agent admixed with a pharmaceutical carrier over a period ranging from several minutes to several days.


For topical administration, the agents may be mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier at a concentration of about 0.1% to about 10% of drug to vehicle. Another mode of administering the agents of the invention may utilize a patch formulation to affect transdermal delivery.


Active agents may alternatively be administered in methods of this invention by inhalation, via the nasal or oral routes, e.g., in a spray formulation also containing a suitable carrier.

Referring to Scheme A, the tetrahydro-pyrazolo-pyridine core structure of Formula (I) may be prepared from commercially available piperidones (X). Installation of the R4 substituent is accomplished through, for example, alkylation, acylation, sulfonylation, amide formation, or other suitable methods known in the art to provide ketones (XI). Alternatively, an amine protecting group, such as a Boc group, may be installed, and, at a later point in the synthesis, be removed (for example, by treatment with an acid such as HCl or TFA) and replaced with R4 (See Scheme F). Enamine formation according to general methods gives enamines (XII), which are then reacted with acyl chlorides, ArC(O)Cl, where Ar is a suitable substituted phenyl group, in the presence of a suitable tertiary amine base, to form enamines (XIII) or the corresponding beta-diketones, or a mixture thereof (not isolated). In situ reaction of the enamines with hydrazine generates pyrazoles (XIV).







Where Ar is a suitably substituted group as in Formula (XV), where substituent X is iodide, bromide, or trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate), formation of alkynes (XVI) may be accomplished by any one of several methods, as depicted in Scheme B. In some embodiments, a three-step process is employed, including: 1) palladium-catalyzed coupling with a suitably protected alkyne ≡-PG, where PG is, for example, a trialkylsilyl group such as trimethylsilyl; 2) deprotection of the alkyne with, for example, a fluoride source such as TBAF; and 3) coupling with a suitable reagent R7X, where R7 is as defined for Formula (I) and substituent X is as defined above, to give alkynes (XVI). Alternatively, palladium-mediated coupling of compounds (XV) with alkynes ≡-R7 yields alkynes (XVI) in one step. In preferred embodiments, palladium-catalyzed couplings are performed in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst such as PdCl2(PPh3)2, Pd(PPh3)4, or Pd2(dba)3, or a mixture thereof, a copper(1) salt such as copper(1) iodide, a tertiary amine base such as Et3N or DBU, in a polar aprotic solvent such as THF or DMF or a mixture thereof, at a temperature from about room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent. Alkynes (XVI) may then be hydrogenated or otherwise reduced using methods known in the art to provide alkanes and alkenes (XVII), where ALK is C2-5alkyl or C2-alkenyl. In another embodiment, phenyl groups (XV) where substituent X is iodide may be coupled with suitably substituted Reformatsky reagents (where substituent X is preferably Cl) in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form alkanes (XVIIIa) in one step.


One skilled in the art will recognize that the chemistry described in Scheme B may be used with alkynes other than ≡-R7 or ≡-PG or reagents other than XZn(C2-5alkyl)R8/R9 to generate other embodiments of Formula (I) or intermediates that are amenable to subsequent conversion into other embodiments of Formula (I). Examples of such conversions are shown in Scheme C. For example, where R7 is substituted with one or two Rk substituents, such substituents may be present for the couplings shown in Scheme B, or such substituents may be installed in subsequent reaction step(s).







As shown in Scheme C, protected amines (XVIII), where Y is ethynyl, ethynyl-(C1-4alkyl), or C3-5alkyl, and PG is a suitable nitrogen protecting group, such as a Boc or phthalimide group, may be protected and converted into substituted amines (XIX). Exemplary transformations include reactions with suitably substituted alkyl halides, sulfonyl chlorides, acyl chlorides, or carboxylic acids. Alternatively, ethers (XX), where PG is H or a suitable hydroxyl protecting group, may be optionally deprotected and subsequently acylated, alkylated, or activated by conversion to the corresponding iodide, bromide, chloride, tosylate, or mesylate, and then displaced with suitable nucleophiles. The intermediate alcohols may also be oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes and reacted with amines using reductive amination methods known in the art.







Two variations for the installation of the propyl amino chain are shown in Scheme D. One skilled in the art will recognize an amine protecting group, such as a Boc group, may be installed in place of the R4 shown, and, at a later point in the synthesis, be removed (for example, by treatment with an acid such as HCl or TFA) and replaced with R4. Pyrazoles (XXI) are alkylated with optionally protected reagents (XXII), where R3 is H, C1-4alkyl, —OC1-4alkyl, or a protected hydroxyl group, T is an aldehyde, a protected aldehyde, —CH2—OH, a —CH2— (protected hydroxyl) group, —CH2—Cl, or —CH2NR1R2, and LG is a suitable leaving group, such as a chloride, bromide, iodide, mesylate or tosylate, to give compounds (XXIII). Where T is a protected aldehyde (such as an acetal) or protected hydroxyl group, deprotection of (XXIII) is accomplished under general conditions. Resulting aldehydes are reacted with amines (XXIV) under reductive amination conditions, to provide propyl amines (XXV) where R3 is H, C1-4alkyl, or —OC1-4alkyl. Alcohols are converted to suitable leaving groups (LG), and displaced with amines HNR1R2, or are oxidized to the corresponding aldehydes for coupling with amines HNR1R2 by reductive amination. One skilled in the art will recognize that transformations from T to —CH2NR1R2 may be performed at any one of several later points in the synthesis. Where T is —CH2NR1R2, the alkylation step leads to compounds (XXV) directly.


Alternatively, pyrazoles (XXI) are reacted with epichlorohydrin or glycidyinosylate (each optionally as racemic mixtures or single enantiomers), in the presence of a suitable base, to give epoxides (XXVI). Epoxide opening with amines (XXIV), preferably at elevated temperatures, yields propyl amines (XXV) where R3 is OH.







In another embodiment, shown in Scheme E, addition of pyrazoles (XXI) to α,β-unsaturated nitriles (XXVI), in the presence of a suitable base, such as aq. NaOH, generates nitriles (XXVII). Reduction of the nitriles to the corresponding aldehydes (XXIII, not shown) is accomplished with a reducing agent such as DIBAL-H. Reductive amination of aldehydes (XXIII) with amines (XXIV) gives amines (XXV) as described in Scheme D.







In preferred embodiments, compounds of Formula (IV) are prepared as shown in Scheme F. N-Boc-Piperidone (XXX) is reacted with cyclic secondary amines HNR2, such as pyrrolidine, morpholine, or piperidine, in the presence of a catalytic amount of an acid catalyst such as p-toluenesulfonic acid or citric acid, in a solvent such as benzene or toluene, under dehydrating conditions (involving, for example, addition of molecular sieves or reaction at reflux temperature with a Dean-Stark trap), to form enamines (XXXI). Enamines (XXXI) are reacted with acid chlorides (XXXII, where substituent X is as defined above), prepared using methods known in the art, in the presence of a tertiary amine base such as TEA, DIPEA, or DBU, in a solvent such as CH2Cl2, DCE, or toluene, to provide enamines (XXXIII) or their corresponding beta-diketones (not shown), or a mixture thereof. Such compounds are not isolated, but are reacted directly with hydrazine, in a solvent such as MeOH or EtOH, to form pyrazoles (XXXIV).


The Boc protecting group of compounds (XXXIV) is removed using methods known in the art. In preferred embodiments, compounds (XXXIV) are treated with HCl or TFA in a solvent such as CH2Cl2 or 1,4-dioxane, to give the corresponding secondary amines (not shown, R4═H). Installation of R4 substituents other than H is accomplished using standard methods, including alkylation, acylation, amide coupling, sulfonylation, and other suitable transformations. In preferred embodiments, reaction with methanesulfonyl chloride in presence of a suitable tertiary amine base, or with oxamic acid in the presence of a coupling agent such as 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole, provides pyrazoles (XXXV).


Alkylation of pyrazoles (XXXV) with reagents (XXXVI, where substituent X is iodo, bromo, chloro, mesylate or trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate)), in the presence of a suitable base, gives compounds (XXXVII). Alkylations may also be performed as shown in Schemes D and E. In preferred embodiments, X in formula (XXXVI) is chloro, and reactions are performed using in DMF using Cs2CO3 as the base.


Compounds of Formula (IV) are prepared by reaction of compounds (XXXVII) under palladium-catalyzed conditions with alkynes (XXXVIII). In preferred embodiments, palladium-catalyzed couplings are performed in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst such as PdCl2(PPh3)2, Pd(PPh3)4, or Pd2(dba)3, or a mixture thereof, a copper(1) salt such as copper(1) iodide, a tertiary amine base such as TEA, DIPEA, or DBU, in a polar aprotic solvent such as THF or DMF or a mixture thereof, at a temperature from about room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent. In further preferred embodiments, substituents Rk are present in reagents (XXXVIII). In alternative embodiments, suitable surrogate substituents are present, and the Rk substituents are formed in subsequent reaction steps using standard chemical transformations.


Additional preferred embodiments, including preferred solvents, temperatures, reagents, and other conditions, are provided in the Examples below.


Compounds of Formula (I) may be converted to their corresponding salts using methods described in the art. For example, an amine of Formula (I) may be treated with trifluoroacetic acid, HCl, citric acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, 2-oxo-butanoic acid, 2-oxo-hexanoic acid, 2-keto-glutaric acid, 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid, or phosphoric acid in a solvent such as CH3CN, Et2O, CH2Cl2, THF, or MeOH to provide the corresponding salt form. Alternatively, compounds of Formula (I) may be converted to their corresponding tartrate salts by reaction with tartaric acid in Et2O, CH2Cl2, THF, or MeOH; to their corresponding monoethyl oxalate salts by reaction with mono- or diethyl oxalate in CH3CN; or to their corresponding 2-oxo-pentanoate salts by reaction with 2-oxo-pentanoic acid in CH3CN.


Those skilled in the art will recognize that the chemical transformations described above may be performed in a different order than that depicted in the above Schemes. Compounds prepared according to the schemes described above may be obtained as single enantiomers, diastereomers, or regioisomers, by enantio-, diastero-, or regiospecific synthesis, or by resolution. Compounds prepared according to the schemes above may alternately be obtained as racemic (1:1) or non-racemic (not 1:1) mixtures or as mixtures of diastereomers or regioisomers. Where racemic and non-racemic mixtures of enantiomers are obtained, single enantiomers may be isolated using conventional separation methods known to one skilled in the art, such as chiral chromatography, recrystallization, diastereomeric salt formation, derivatization into diastereomeric adducts, biotransformation, or enzymatic transformation. Where regioisomeric or diastereomeric mixtures are obtained, single isomers may be separated using conventional methods such as chromatography or crystallization.

A. 4-Morpholin-4-yl-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-but I ester. In a 3-L round-bottom flask equipped with a Dean-Stark trap, a reflux condenser and an internal thermocouple, N-Boc-piperidone (200 g, 1.0 mol, 1.0 equiv), toluene (2 L), morpholine (92 mL, 1.05 mol, 1.05 equiv), and p-toluenesulfonic acid (1.0 g, 0.005 mmol, 0.5% equiv) were added sequentially. The reaction solution was refluxed under N2 for 16 h (about 18 mL water was collected). The solvent was evaporated and the residue was used directly in the next reaction (colorless oil, ˜270 g, 100%).


B. 4-Chloro-3-iodo-benzoyl chloride. In a 5-L round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar and a gas scrubber, 4-chloro-3-iodobenzoic acid (275 g, 0.975 mol, 1.0 equiv) was suspended in CH2Cl2 (3 L) and DMF (2 mL, 0.026 mol, 2.5% equiv) was added. Under N2 at 0° C., oxalyl chloride (93.5 mL, 1.1 mol, 1.1 equiv) was added dropwise over 1 h. The ice bath was removed and the reaction solution was stirred at rt for 16 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was used directly in the next reaction (−290 g, 100%).


C. 3-(4-Chloro-3-iodo-phenyl)-1,4,6,7-tetrahydro-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester. 4-Morpholin-4-yl-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (270 g, 1.0 mol, 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (1.6 L) and then Et3N (209 mL, 1.5 mol, 1.5 equiv) was added. At 0° C. under N2, a solution of 4-chloro-3-iodo-benzoyl chloride (290 g, 1.0 mol, 1.0 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (400 mL) was added over 30 min. The ice bath was then removed and the reaction solution was stirred at rt for 3 h. All the volatile solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue was re-dissolved in EtOH (1.5 L). At 0° C., anhydrous NH2NH2 (47 mL, 1.5 mol, 1.5 equiv) was added over 30 min (exothermic reaction). The reaction solution was stirred at rt for 16 h. The precipitated white solid was collected by filtration and washed with cold EtOH to afford the desired pyrazole product (white solid, ˜333 g, 0.73 mol, >95% purity, 73%). The mother liquor was concentrated and was partitioned between CH2Cl2 and H2O. Emulsion was observed due to the low solubility of the desired product in CH2Cl2. The insoluble solid was collected by filtration to provide an additional portion of the desired product. The organic layer was warmed slightly to assist phase separation. The organic layer was washed with water (3×), dried, and concentrated. The crude product (filtered material plus residue) was recrystallized from hot CH3CN to give the title compound (74 g, 0.16 mmol, 16%). The total yield was 89% for the three steps.

Biological Testing:

Recombinant human cathepsin S (CatS) was expressed in the baculovirus system and purified in one step with a thiopropyl-sepharose column. 10-L yielded ˜700 mg of CatS and N-terminal sequencing confirmed identity. The assay is run in 150 mM sodium acetate pH 5.0 containing 1.5 mM DTT and 150 mM NaCl. The substrate for the assay is: Z-Valine-Valine-Arginine-AMC (catalog #1-1540, Bachem). The Km for the substrate is around 5 μM but the presence of substrate inhibition makes kinetic analysis difficult. With 10 μM substrate the assay rate is linear over the range of 1-8 ng CatS in 100 μL reaction. Using 2 ng/well of CatS, the production of product is linear and yields-7-fold signal after 20 min with only 20% loss of substrate. Measurements are taken every min for 20 min. The rate is calculated from the slope of the increase in fluorescence and the percent inhibition is calculated from this.


Results for the compounds tested in this assay are presented in Tables 2, 3, and 4 as an average of results obtained. Compounds were tested in free base, hydrochloride salt, trifluoroacetic acid salt, citric acid salt, or formic acid salt forms.
