Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to heterocyclic amides that inhibit RIP1 kinase and methods of making and using the same.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Receptor-interacting protein-1 (RIP1) kinase, originally referred to as RIP, is a TKL family serine/threonine protein kinase involved in innate immune signaling. RIP1 kinase is a RHIM domain containing protein, with an N-terminal kinase domain and a C-terminal death domain (Trends Biochem. Sci., 30, 151-159 (2005)). The death domain of RIP1 mediates interaction with other death domain containing proteins including Fas and TNFR-1 (Cell, 81 513-523 (1995)), TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2 (Immunity, 7, 821-830 (1997)), and TRADD (Immunity, 4, 387-396 (1996)), while the RHIM domain is crucial for binding other RHIM domain containing proteins such as TRIF (Nat. Immunol., 5, 503-507 (2004)), DAI (EMBO Rep. 10, 916-922 (2009)) and RIP3 (J. Biol. Chem., 274, 16871-16875 (1999)); Curr. Biol., 9, 539-542 (1999)) and exerts many of its effects through these interactions. RIP1 is a central regulator of cell signaling, and is involved in mediating both pro-survival and programmed cell death pathways which will be discussed below.


The role for RIP1 in cell signaling has been assessed under various conditions [including TLR3 (Nat Immunol., 5, 503-507 (2004)), TLR4 (J. Biol. Chem., 280, 36560-6566 (2005)), TRAIL (Cell Signal., 27(2), 306-314 (2015)), FAS (J. Biol. Chem., 279, 7925-7933 (2004))], but is best understood in the context of mediating signals downstream of the death receptor TNFR1 (Cell, 114, 181-190 (2003)). Engagement of the TNFR by TNF leads to its oligomerization, and the recruitment of multiple proteins, including linear K63-linked polyubiquitinated RIP1 (Mol. Cell, 22, 245-257 (2006)), TRAF2/5 (J. Mol. Biol., 396, 528-539 (2010)), TRADD (Nat. Immunol., 9, 1037-1046 (2008)), and cIAPs (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., 105, 11778-11783 (2008)), to the cytoplasmic tail of the receptor. This complex which is dependent on RIP1 as a scaffolding protein (i.e. kinase independent), termed complex I, provides a platform for pro-survival signaling through the activation of the NFκB and MAP kinases pathways (Sci. Signal., 115, re4 (2010)). Alternatively, binding of TNF to its receptor under conditions promoting the deubiquitination of RIP1 (by proteins such as A20 and CYLD or inhibition of the cIAPs) results in receptor internalization and the formation of complex II or DISC (death-inducing signaling complex) (Cell Death Dis., 2, e230 (2011)). Formation of the DISC, which contains RIP1, TRADD, FADD and caspase 8, results in the activation of caspase 8 and the onset of programmed apoptotic cell death also in a RIP1 kinase independent fashion (FEBS J, 278, 877-887 (2012)). Apoptosis is largely a quiescent form of cell death, and is involved in routine processes such as development and cellular homeostasis.


Under conditions where the DISC forms and RIP3 is expressed, but apoptosis is inhibited (such as FADD/caspase 8 deletion, caspase inhibition, or viral infection), a third RIP1 kinase-dependent possibility exists. RIP3 can now enter this complex, become phosphorylated by RIP1 and initiate a caspase-independent programmed necrotic cell death through the activation of MLKL and PGAM5 (Cell, 148, 213-227 (2012)); (Cell, 148, 228-243 (2012)); (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., 109, 5322-5327 (2012)). As opposed to apoptosis, programmed necrosis (not to be confused with passive necrosis which is not programmed) results in the release of danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) from the cell. These DAMPs are capable of providing a “danger signal” to surrounding cells and tissues, eliciting proinflammatory responses including inflammasome activation, cytokine production and cellular recruitment (Nat. Rev. Immunol., 8, 279-289 (2008)).


Dysregulation of RIP1 kinase-mediated programmed cell death has been linked to various inflammatory diseases, as demonstrated by use of the RIP3 knockout mouse (where RIP1-mediated programmed necrosis is completely blocked) and by Necrostatin-1 (a tool inhibitor of RIP1 kinase activity with poor oral bioavailability). The RIP3 knockout mouse has been shown to be protective in inflammatory bowel disease (including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) (Nature, 477, 330-334 (2011)), psoriasis (Immunity, 35, 572-582 (2011)), retinal-detachment-induced photoreceptor necrosis (PNAS, 107, 21695-21700, (2010)), retinitis pigmentosa (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 109:36, 14598-14603 (2012)), cerulein-induced acute pancreatits (Cell, 137, 1100-1111 (2009)), and sepsis/systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (Immunity, 35, 908-918 (2011)). Necrostatin-1 has been shown to be effective in alleviating ischemic brain injury (Nat. Chem. Biol., 1, 112-119 (2005)), retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury (J. Neurosci. Res., 88, 1569-1576 (2010)), Huntington's disease (Cell Death Dis., 2 e115 (2011)), renal ischemia reperfusion injury (Kidney Int., 81, 751-761 (2012)), cisplatin induced kidney injury (Ren. Fail., 34, 373-377 (2012)), and traumatic brain injury (Neurochem. Res., 37, 1849-1858 (2012)). Other diseases or disorders regulated at least in part by RIP1-dependent apoptosis, necrosis or cytokine production include hematological and solid organ malignancies (Genes Dev., 27, 1640-1649 (2013)), bacterial infections and viral infections (Cell Host & Microbe, 15, 23-35 (2014)) (including, but not limited to, tuberculosis and influenza (Cell, 153, 1-14 (2013)) and Lysosomal storage diseases (particularly, Gaucher Disease, Nature Medicine Advance Online Publication, 19 Jan. 2014, doi:10.1038/nm.3449).


A potent, selective, small molecule inhibitor of RIP1 kinase activity would block RIP1-dependent cellular necrosis and thereby provide a therapeutic benefit in diseases or events associated with DAMPs, cell death, and/or inflammation.

    or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.


It is to be understood that the references herein to a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Thus, in one embodiment, the invention is directed to a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II). In another embodiment, the invention is directed to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II). In a further embodiment, the invention is directed to a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.


Because of their potential use in medicine, it will be appreciated that a salt of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) is preferably pharmaceutically acceptable. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts can include acid or base addition salts.


As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means a compound which is suitable for pharmaceutical use. Salts and solvates (e.g. hydrates and hydrates of salts) of the compounds of Formulas (I) and (II) which are suitable for use in medicine are those wherein the counterion or associated solvent is pharmaceutically acceptable.


Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, amongst others, those described in Berge, J. Pharm. Sci., 66, 1-19, (1977) or those listed in P. H. Stahl and C. G. Wermuth, editors, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts; Properties, Selection and Use, Second Edition Stahl/Wermuth: Wiley-VCH/VHCA (2011) (see http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-3906390519.html).


Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts can include acid or base addition salts.


Such base addition salts can be formed by reaction of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) (which, for example, contains a carboxylic acid or other acidic functional group) with the appropriate base, optionally in a suitable solvent such as an organic solvent, to give the salt which can be isolated by a variety of methods, including crystallisation and filtration.


Such acid addition salts can be formed by reaction of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) (which, for example contains a basic amine or other basic functional group) with the appropriate acid, optionally in a suitable solvent such as an organic solvent, to give the salt which can be isolated by a variety of methods, including crystallisation and filtration.

A therapeutically “effective amount” is intended to mean that amount of a compound that, when administered to a patient in need of such treatment, is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined herein. Thus, e.g., a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is a quantity of an inventive agent that, when administered to a human in need thereof, is sufficient to modulate and/or inhibit the activity of RIP1 kinase such that a disease condition which is mediated by that activity is reduced, alleviated or prevented. The amount of a given compound that will correspond to such an amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound (e.g., the potency (pIC50), efficacy (EC50), and the biological half-life of the particular compound), disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., age, size and weight) of the patient in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art. Likewise, the duration of treatment and the time period of administration (time period between dosages and the timing of the dosages, e.g., before/with/after meals) of the compound will vary according to the identity of the mammal in need of treatment (e.g., weight), the particular compound and its properties (e.g., pharmacokinetic properties), disease or disorder and its severity and the specific composition and method being used, but can nevertheless be determined by one of skill in the art.


“Treating” or “treatment” is intended to mean at least the mitigation of a disease or disorder in a patient. The methods of treatment for mitigation of a disease or disorder include the use of the compounds in this invention in any conventionally acceptable manner, for example for prevention, retardation, prophylaxis, therapy or cure of a RIP1 kinase mediated disease or disorder, as described hereinabove.


The compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable route of administration, including both systemic administration and topical administration. Systemic administration includes oral administration, parenteral administration, transdermal administration, rectal administration, and administration by inhalation. Parenteral administration refers to routes of administration other than enteral, transdermal, or by inhalation, and is typically by injection or infusion. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injection or infusion. Inhalation refers to administration into the patient's lungs whether inhaled through the mouth or through the nasal passages. Topical administration includes application to the skin.


The compounds of the invention may be administered once or according to a dosing regimen wherein a number of doses are administered at varying intervals of time for a given period of time. For example, doses may be administered one, two, three, or four times per day. Doses may be administered until the desired therapeutic effect is achieved or indefinitely to maintain the desired therapeutic effect. Suitable dosing regimens for a compound of the invention depend on the pharmacokinetic properties of that compound, such as absorption, distribution, and half-life, which can be determined by the skilled artisan. In addition, suitable dosing regimens, including the duration such regimens are administered, for a compound of the invention depend on the disease or disorder being treated, the severity of the disease or disorder being treated, the age and physical condition of the patient being treated, the medical history of the patient to be treated, the nature of concurrent therapy, the desired therapeutic effect, and like factors within the knowledge and expertise of the skilled artisan. It will be further understood by such skilled artisans that suitable dosing regimens may require adjustment given an individual patient's response to the dosing regimen or over time as individual patient needs change. Total daily dosages range from 1 mg to 2000 mg.


For use in therapy, the compounds of the invention will be normally, but not necessarily, formulated into a pharmaceutical composition prior to administration to a patient. Accordingly, the invention also is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.


The invention is further directed to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and at least one other therapeutically active agent, specifically one or two other therapeutically active agents, more specifically one other therapeutically active agent.


The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in bulk form wherein an effective amount of a compound of the invention can be extracted and then given to the patient such as with powders, syrups, and solutions for injection. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in unit dosage form. A dose of the pharmaceutical composition contains at least a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of this invention (i.e., a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof). When prepared in unit dosage form, the pharmaceutical compositions may contain from 1 mg to 1000 mg of a compound of this invention.


As provided herein, unit dosage forms (pharmaceutical compositions) containing from 1 mg to 1000 mg of a compound of the invention may be administered one, two, three, or four times per day, preferably one, two, or three times per day, and more preferably, one or two times per day, to effect treatment of a RIP1 kinase-mediated disease or disorder.


As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” means a material, composition or vehicle involved in giving form or consistency to the composition. Each excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition when commingled such that interactions which would substantially reduce the efficacy of the compound of the invention when administered to a patient and interactions which would result in pharmaceutical compositions that are not pharmaceutically acceptable are avoided. In addition, each excipient must of course be of sufficiently high purity to render it pharmaceutically acceptable.


The compounds of the invention and the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or excipients will typically be formulated into a dosage form adapted for administration to the patient by the desired route of administration. Conventional dosage forms suitable for use with the compounds of this invention include those adapted for (1) oral administration such as tablets, capsules, caplets, pills, troches, powders, syrups, elixirs, suspensions, solutions, emulsions, sachets, and cachets; (2) parenteral administration such as sterile solutions, suspensions, and powders for reconstitution; (3) transdermal administration such as transdermal patches; (4) rectal administration such as suppositories; (5) inhalation such as aerosols and solutions; and (6) topical administration such as creams, ointments, lotions, solutions, pastes, sprays, foams, and gels.


Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients will vary depending upon the particular dosage form chosen. In addition, suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for a particular function that they may serve in the composition. For example, certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of uniform dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of stable dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the carrying or transporting the compound or compounds of the invention once administered to the patient from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to enhance patient compliance.


Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients include the following types of excipients: diluents, fillers, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, glidants, granulating agents, coating agents, wetting agents, solvents, co-solvents, suspending agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, flavoring agents, flavor masking agents, coloring agents, anti-caking agents, humectants, chelating agents, plasticizers, viscosity increasing agents, antioxidants, preservatives, stabilizers, surfactants, and buffering agents. The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may serve more than one function and may serve alternative functions depending on how much of the excipient is present in the formulation and what other ingredients are present in the formulation.


Skilled artisans possess the knowledge and skill in the art to enable them to select suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients in appropriate amounts for use in the invention. In addition, there are a number of resources that are available to the skilled artisan which describe pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and may be useful in selecting suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Examples include Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company), The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives (Gower Publishing Limited), and The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (the American Pharmaceutical Association and the Pharmaceutical Press).


The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are prepared using techniques and methods known to those skilled in the art. Some of the methods commonly used in the art are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company). Accordingly, another embodiment of this invention is a method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising the step of admixing a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof, with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.


In one aspect, the invention is directed to a topical dosage form such as a cream, ointment, lotion, paste, or gel comprising an effective amount of a compound of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Lipophilic formulations, such as anhydrous creams and ointments, generally will have a base derived from fatty alcohols, and polyethylene glycols. Additional additives include alcohols, non-ionic surfactants, and antioxidants. For ointments, the base normally will be an oil or mixture of oil and wax, e.g., petrolatum. Also, an antioxidant normally will be included in minor amounts. Because the compositions are applied topically and the effective dosage can be controlled by the total composition applied, the percentage of active ingredient in the composition can vary widely. Convenient concentrations range from 0.5% to 20%.


Topically applied gels can also be a foamable suspension gel comprising a compound of the invention, as an active agent, one or more thickening agents, and optionally, a dispersing/wetting agent, a pH-adjusting agent, a surfactant, a propellent, an antioxidant, an additional foaming agent, a chelating/sequestering agent, a solvent, a fragrance, a coloring agent, a preservative, wherein the gel is aqueous and forms a homogenous foam.


In one aspect, the invention is directed to a topical dosage form that can be administered by inhalation, that is, by intranasal and oral inhalation administration. Appropriate dosage forms for such administration, such as an aerosol formulation or a metered dose inhaler, may be prepared by conventional techniques. Intranasal sprays may be formulated with aqueous or non-aqueous vehicles with the addition of agents such as thickening agents, buffer salts or acid or alkali to adjust the pH, isotonicity adjusting agents or anti-oxidants. Solutions for inhalation by nebulization may be formulated with an aqueous vehicle with the addition of agents such as acid or alkali, buffer salts, isotonicity adjusting agents or antimicrobials.


Formulations for administration by inhalation or foamable gel often require the use of a suitable propellant. Capsules and cartridges of e.g. gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated using a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.


In another aspect, the invention is directed to a solid oral dosage form such as a tablet or capsule comprising an effective amount of a compound of the invention and a diluent or filler. Suitable diluents and fillers include lactose, sucrose, dextrose, mannitol, sorbitol, starch (e.g. corn starch, potato starch, and pre-gelatinized starch), cellulose and its derivatives (e.g. microcrystalline cellulose), calcium sulfate, and dibasic calcium phosphate. The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a binder. Suitable binders include starch (e.g. corn starch, potato starch, and pre-gelatinized starch), gelatin, acacia, sodium alginate, alginic acid, tragacanth, guar gum, povidone, and cellulose and its derivatives (e.g. microcrystalline cellulose). The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a disintegrant. Suitable disintegrants include crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, croscarmelose, alginic acid, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a lubricant. Suitable lubricants include stearic acid, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, and talc.


Definitions

As used herein, the term “alkyl” represents a saturated, straight or branched hydrocarbon group having the specified number of carbon atoms. The term “(C1-C4)alkyl” refers to an alkyl moiety containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Exemplary alkyls include, but are not limited to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, s-butyl, and t-butyl.


As used herein, “5-6-membered heteroaryl” represents an aromatic monocyclic group containing 5 or 6 ring atoms, including at least one carbon atom and 1 to 4 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Selected 5-membered heteroaryl groups contain one nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur ring heteroatom, and optionally contain 1, 2, or 3 additional nitrogen ring atoms. Selected 6-membered heteroaryl groups contain 1, 2, or 3 nitrogen ring heteroatoms. Examples of 5-membered heteroaryl groups include furyl (furanyl), thienyl, pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, oxadiazolyl and oxo-oxadiazolyl. Selected 6-membered heteroaryl groups include pyridinyl, oxo-pyridyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl and triazinyl.


The term “halogen” represents chloro, fluoro, bromo, or iodo substituents.


As used herein, the term “cyano” refers to the group —CN.


The term “independently” means that where more than one substituent is selected from a number of possible substituents, those substituents may be the same or different.


As used herein, the term “optionally” means that the subsequently described event(s) may or may not occur, and includes both event(s) that occur and event(s) that do not occur.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to those compounds (including salts), materials, compositions, and dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.


The compounds of this invention contain one or more asymmetric centers (also referred to as a chiral center), such as a chiral carbon, or a chiral —SO— moiety. The stereochemistry of the chiral carbon center present in compounds of this invention is generally represented in the compound names and/or in the chemical structures illustrated herein. Compounds of this invention containing one or more chiral centers may be present as racemic mixtures, diastereomeric mixtures, enantiomerically enriched mixtures, diastereomerically enriched mixtures, or as enantiomerically or diastereomerically pure individual stereoisomers.


In those instances where the stereochemistry of the chiral carbon center present in compounds of this invention is not represented in the compound name or in the accompanying chemical structure, it will be understood that the compound is present as a mixture of enantiomers or diastereomers. It is understood that one skilled in the art can obtain either the (R) or (S) isomer of any stereoisomeric compound mixture described herein using the resolution techniques described herein or using other conventional resolution techniques.


Individual stereoisomers of a compound described herein may be resolved (or mixtures of stereoisomers may be enriched) using methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, such resolution may be carried out (1) by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, complexes or other derivatives; (2) by selective reaction with a stereoisomer-specific reagent, for example by enzymatic oxidation or reduction; or (3) by gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example, on a chiral support such as silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. The skilled artisan will appreciate that where the desired stereoisomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired form. Alternatively, specific stereoisomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer to the other by asymmetric transformation.


The alternative definitions for the various groups and substituent groups of Formula(s) (I) and/or (II) provided throughout the specification are intended to particularly describe each compound species disclosed herein, individually, as well as groups of one or more compound species. The scope of this invention includes any combination of these group and substituent group definitions. The compounds of the invention are only those which are contemplated to be “chemically stable” as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art.


As used herein, the terms “compound(s) of the invention” or “compound(s) of this invention” mean a compound of Formula(s) (I) and/or (II) as defined herein, in any form, i.e., any salt or non-salt form (e.g., as a free acid or base form, or as a salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) and any physical form thereof (e.g., including non-solid forms (e.g., liquid or semi-solid forms), and solid forms (e.g., amorphous or crystalline forms, specific polymorphic forms, solvate forms, including hydrate forms (e.g., mono-, di- and hemi-hydrates)), and mixtures of various forms.


Accordingly, included within the present invention are the compounds of Formulas (I) and (II), as defined herein, in any salt or non-salt form and any physical form thereof, and mixtures of various forms. While such are included within the present invention, it will be understood that the compounds of Formulas (I) and (II), as defined herein, in any salt or non-salt form, and in any physical form thereof, may have varying levels of activity, different bioavailabilities and different handling properties for formulation purposes.


“Treating” or “treatment” is intended to mean at least the mitigation of a disease or disorder in a patient. The methods of treatment for mitigation of a disease or disorder include the use of the compounds in this invention in any conventionally acceptable manner, for example for prevention, retardation, prophylaxis, therapy or cure of a RIP1 kinase mediated disease or disorder, as described hereinabove.


As used herein, the term “cancer,” refers to cells that have undergone a malignant transformation that makes them pathological to the host organism. Primary cancer cells can be readily distinguished from non-cancerous cells by well-established techniques, particularly histological examination. The definition of a cancer cell, as used herein, includes not only a primary cancer cell, but any cell derived from a cancer cell ancestor. This includes metastasized cancer cells, and in vitro cultures and cell lines derived from cancer cells. When referring to a type of cancer that normally manifests as a solid tumor, a “clinically detectable” tumor is one that is detectable on the basis of tumor mass; e.g., by procedures such as computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray, ultrasound or palpation on physical examination, and/or which is detectable because of the expression of one or more cancer-specific antigens in a sample obtainable from a patient. Tumors may be a hematopoietic (or hematologic or hematological or blood-related) cancer, for example, cancers derived from blood cells or immune cells, which may be referred to as “liquid tumors.”


A therapeutically “effective amount” is intended to mean that amount of a compound that, when administered to a patient in need of such treatment, is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined herein. Thus, e.g., a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is a quantity of an inventive agent that, when administered to a human in need thereof, is sufficient to modulate and/or inhibit the activity of RIP1 kinase such that a disease condition which is mediated by that activity is reduced, alleviated or prevented. The amount of a given compound that will correspond to such an amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound (e.g., the potency (pIC50), efficacy (EC50), and the biological half-life of the particular compound), disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., age, size and weight) of the patient in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art. Likewise, the duration of treatment and the time period of administration (time period between dosages and the timing of the dosages, e.g., before/with/after meals) of the compound will vary according to the identity of the mammal in need of treatment (e.g., weight), the particular compound and its properties (e.g., pharmacokinetic properties), disease or disorder and its severity and the specific composition and method being used, but can nevertheless be determined by one of skill in the art.


As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” means a material, composition or vehicle involved in giving form or consistency to the composition. Each excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition when commingled such that interactions which would substantially reduce the efficacy of the compound of the invention when administered to a patient and interactions which would result in pharmaceutical compositions that are not pharmaceutically acceptable are avoided. In addition, each excipient must of course be of sufficiently high purity to render it pharmaceutically acceptable.


Compound Preparation
Generic Synthesis Schemes

The compounds of this invention may be made by a variety of methods, including well-known standard synthetic methods. Illustrative general synthetic methods are set out below and then specific compounds of the invention are prepared in the working examples. The skilled artisan will appreciate that if a substituent described herein is not compatible with the synthetic methods described herein, the substituent may be protected with a suitable protecting group that is stable to the reaction conditions. The protecting group may be removed at a suitable point in the reaction sequence to provide a desired intermediate or target compound. In all of the schemes described below, protecting groups for sensitive or reactive groups are employed where necessary in accordance with general principles of synthetic chemistry. Protecting groups are manipulated according to standard methods of organic synthesis (T. W. Green and P. G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons (1991) incorporated by reference with regard to protecting groups). These groups are removed at a convenient stage of the compound synthesis using methods that are readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The selection of processes as well as the reaction conditions and order of their execution shall be consistent with the preparation of compounds of the present invention. Starting materials are commercially available or are made from commercially available starting materials using methods known to those skilled in the art.


As will be understood by the skilled chemist, references to preparations carried out in a similar manner to, or by the general method of, other preparations, may encompass variations in routine parameters such as time, temperature, workup conditions, minor changes in reagent amounts, etc. The syntheses of intermediates provided in the Examples herein are applicable for producing intermediates of the invention having a variety of R groups employing appropriate precursors, which are protected if needed, to achieve compatibility with the reactions described.


Compounds of Formula I can be prepared according to Scheme 1. An aldehyde of Formula A can be reacted with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione and tert-butyl N-hydroxycarbamate in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane to afford an isoxazolidinone of Formula B. Treatment of a compound of Formula B with lithium borohydride gives an alcohol of Formula C. A compound of Formula C can be cyclized under Mitsunobu conditions, and the Boc group of the resulting isoxazolidine (D) can be subsequently removed upon treatment with acid to afford a compound of Formula E. An isoxazolidine of Formula E can be coupled with an appropriately substituted carboxylic acid or acid chloride to afford a compound of Formula I.

Alternatively, compounds of Formula I can be prepared according to Scheme 2. An isoxazolidine of Formula E, prepared according to Scheme 1, can be coupled with a Boc protected piperidine-4-carboxylic acid to give a compound of Formula F. The Boc group of a compound of Formula F can be removed upon treatment with acid, and the resulting amine salt (G) can be reacted with a heteroaryl halide in the presence of base to afford a compound of Formula I.

Alternatively, compounds of Formula II can be prepared according to Scheme 4. An aldehyde of Formula A can be condensed with acetaldehyde to afford an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde of Formula H. A compound of Formula H can be reacted with Boc-protected hydroxylamine and subsequently reduced to yield a compound of Formula J. A compound of Formula J can be cyclized under Mitsunobu conditions, and the Boc group of the resulting isoxazolidine can be subsequently removed upon treatment with acid to afford a compound of Formula M. A compound of Formula M can be further transformed according to the methods outlined in Scheme 1 or Scheme 2 to afford a compound of Formula II.
