β-Amyloid deposits and neurofibrillary tangles are two major pathologic characterizations associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Clinically, AD is characterized by the loss of memory, cognition, reasoning, judgment, and orientation. Also affected, as the disease progresses, are motor, sensory and linguistic abilities until global impairment of multiple cognitive functions occurs. These cognitive losses take place gradually, but typically lead to severe impairment and eventual death in 4-12 years.
β-Amyloid deposits are predominantly an aggregate of Aβ peptide, which in turn is a product of the proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein (APP). More specifically, Aβ peptide results from the cleavage of APP at the C-terminals by one or more γ-secretases, and at the N-terminus by β-secretase enzyme (BACE), also known as aspartyl protease, as part of the β-amyloidogenic pathway.
BACE activity is correlated directly to the generation of Aβ peptide from APP, and studies increasingly indicate that the inhibition of BACE inhibits the production of Aβ peptide.
Amyloidogenic plaques and vascular amyloid angiopathy also characterize the brains of patients with Trisomy 21 (Down's Syndrome), Hereditary Cerebral Hemorrhage with Amyloidosis of the Dutch-type (HCHWA-D), and other neurodegenerative disorders. Neurofibrillary tangles also occur in other neurodegenerative disorders including dementia-inducing disorders.
Recently, Amyloid-β (Aβ) has been reported to be implicated in the development of RGC apotosis in glaucoma, with evidence of caspase-3-mediated abnormal amyloid precursor protein processing, increased expression of Aβ in RGCs in experimental glaucoma and decreased vitreous Aβ levels (consistent with retinal Aβ deposition) in patients with glaucoma.
The present invention provides compounds that are BACE inhibitors and are useful as therapeutic agents in the treatment, prevention and amelioration of a disease or disorder characterized by elevated β-amyloid deposits or β-amyloid levels in a patient.

Terms not specifically defined herein should be given the meanings that would be given to them by one of skill in the art in light of the disclosure and the context. As used in the specification, however, unless specified to the contrary, the following terms have the meaning indicated and the following conventions are adhered to.
In the groups, radicals, or moieties defined below, the number of carbon atoms is often specified preceding the group. For example, (C1-C6)alkyl means an alkyl group or radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. In general, for groups comprising two or more subgroups, the last named subgroup is the radical attachment point. For example, the substituent “aryl(C1-C3)alkyl” means an aryl group which is bound to a (C1-C3)alkyl group, the latter of which is bound to the core or to the group to which the substituent is attached.
When a compound of the present invention is depicted in form of a chemical name and as a formula, in case of any discrepancy, the formula shall prevail.
When any variable (e.g. aryl, heterocyclyl, R1, R2 etc.) occurs more than once in a compound, its definition on each occurrence is independent of any other occurrence.
“Alkyl” means a saturated aliphatic branched or straight-chain monovalent hydrocarbon radical having the specified number of carbon atoms. For example, “(C1-C6)alkyl” means a radical having from 1-6 carbon atoms in a linear or branched arrangement. “(C1-C6)alkyl” includes methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, and hexyl.
“Alkenyl” means branched or straight-chain monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing at least one double bond and having specified number of carbon atoms. Alkenyl may be mono or polyunsaturated, and may exist in the E or Z configuration. For example, “(C2-C6)alkenyl” means a radical having from 2-6 carbon atoms in a linear or branched arrangement.
“Alkynyl” means branched or straight-chain monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing at least one triple bond and having specified number of carbon atoms. For example, “(C2-C6)alkynyl” means a radical having from 2-6 carbon atoms in a linear or branched arrangement.
“Cycloalkyl” means a saturated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon radical having the specified number of carbon atoms. It can be monocyclic, bicyclic, polycyclic (e.g., tricyclic), fused, bridged, or spiro. For example, monocyclic (C3-C8)cycloalkyl means a radical having from 3-8 carbon atoms arranged in a monocyclic ring. Monocyclic (C3-C8)cycloalkyl includes but is not limited to cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl and cyclooctane.
Monocyclic ring systems have a single ring structure. They include saturated or unsaturated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon rings or aromatic hydrocarbon ring having the specified number of carbon atoms. The monocyclic ring system can optionally contain 1 to 3 heteroatoms in the ring structure and each heteroatom is independently selected from the group consisting O, N and S.

Unless otherwise indicated, all variables are as defined below. The abbreviations used in these experimental details are listed below and additional ones should be known to a person skilled in the art of synthesis. In addition one can refer to the following references for suitable methods of synthesis as described in March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1985 or Greene and Wuts Protective groups in organic synthesis 2nd edition, John Wiley & sons 1991 and as in Richard Larock, comprehensive organic transformations, 4th edition, VCH publishers Inc, 1989.
The above shown intermediate can be synthesized by the following methods or by any other methods not detailed here by anyone who is well versed in the art of synthesis.
Method 1
Method 1. Starting with the appropriate ketone one can sequentially alkylate with alkyl halides, triflates and mesylates utilizing bases such as LDA, NaH in various solvents such as THF, DME etc at temperatures varying from −78° C. to 50° C. Each alkylation can be carried out in a sequential fashion with each intermediate being isolated and purified or in one pot in a stepwise fashion. In the event the final product from the above reactions yields a substituent on the alkyl group such as an olefin, sulfone, cyano etc, they can be further manipulated by Dieckman cyclization, RCM or other known reaction such as cycloaddition, nucleophilic substitution etc. to yield highly functionalized spirocyclic intermediates.
Method 2
Method 2 represents a specific method for the synthesis of spirocyclic compounds through the Diels Alder reaction or through other cycloaddition reaction such as 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The first step involves condensation of ketone with formaldehyde, aldehydes and ketones in presence of any protic acid or boronic acid in solvents such as benzene or toluene at temperatures varying from room temperature to 80° C. The dienophile (or enone) intermediate then can be reacted with various dienes utilizing the Diels-Alder reaction. This reaction can be carried out neat or in presence of non-protic solvents such as benzene, THF in a sealed tube at temperature 30-220° C. In addition one can utilize Lewis acids or any other agents that may assist in the reaction to yield pure enantiomers or diastereomers. The resulting spirocyclic cyclohexyl product may optionally contain one or more alkyl/aryl substituent or functional groups such as a ketone aldehyde, cyano etc. These functional groups can be further elaborated by known functional group transformations. For example the reaction of the dienophile with the Danishefsky diene in refluxing solvents such as benzene or toluene under nitrogen atmosphere yields spirocyclohexanone. The spirocyclohexanone can be further elaborated by reactions such as reduction with hydrides like NaBH4, LAH, DiBAL etc. to yield an alcohol. This alcohol can be further alkylated with various alkyl groups by employing base such as NaH or LiHMDS in solvents such as DMF, THF etc. at room temperature to yield spirocyclic alkyl ethers. The alcohol can also be reacted with aryl/heteroarylhalides in the presence of palladium or copper catalyst along with appropriate bases such as Cs2CO3 to yield aryl ethers.
Alternatively the ketone functional group can be further modified by known procedures in literature to yield heterocycles or other bicyclic ring systems. In addition the dienophile intermediate can also be reacted with 1,3 ylides to yield 5-membered spirocyclic heterocycles or carbocycles. The utility of these cycloaddition reaction are well documented in literature and are exemplified in these references: Synthesis of heterocycles via cycloadditions, Volume 1 By Alfred Hassner, Topic in heterocyclic chemistry volume 12, 1st edition, springer, 2008 and Cycloaddition reactions in organic synthesis; Kobayashi and Jørgensen, 1st edition, Wiley-VCH, 2002
Method 3
In method 3, starting with alkyl or cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl derivatives containing electron withdrawing groups such as cyano or esters, the alkyl/cycloalkyl/heterocycloalkyl groups can be alklylated with optionally substituted ortho-halo benzyl bromides or chlorides utilizing base such as LDA, NaH, or LiHMDS in solvents such as benzene, THF etc. at temperatures ranging from −78° C. to 80° C. The alkylated intermediate can be isolated and further subjected to base such as n-BuLi or LDA in aprotic solvents such as THF, Hexane etc. to effect ring cyclization towards the final intermediate A. Alternatively one can also utilize transition metal based chemistry such as Pd/Cu or Rh containing chelating agents such as phosphine derivatives or amines in solvents such as DMF, DMA, THF and toluene in presence of base (TEA, or K2CO3) at temperatures varying from room temperature to 80° C. In the event where the final product from the above reactions yields substituent on the alkyl group such as olefins or sulfones, cyano etc, they can be further manipulated by Dieckman cyclization, RCM or other known reactions such as cycloaddition, nucleophilic substitution etc to yield highly functionalized spirocyclic intermediates.
Method 4
Method 4 represents a one pot reaction towards the synthesis of spirocyclic ketone intermediate A. Starting with appropriate ketone one can utilize alkylation chemistry of internally tethered bis alkyl halides/triflates or mesylates in presence of base such as LDA, LiHMDS and in aprotic solvents such as THF, dioxane, ether etc. at temperature varying from 0° C. to 80° C. to yield spirocyclic intermediate A.
Alternatively ketones can be reacted with acrylates in presence of base such as KOtBu and solvents such as tert-butanol with subsequent decarboxylation of β-keto ester to yield spirocyclic ketone intermediate A.
The ketone intermediate A can be further functionalized and cyclized to yield various monocyclic heterocycles as described in “Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry: The Structure, Reactions, Synthesis and Uses of Heterocyclic Compounds: The Structure, Reactions, Synthesis and Uses of Heterocyclic Compounds” by Katritzky and Rees, Wiley and sons, 3rd edition 1991, or as described in Heterocyclic Chemistry by Joule Keith Mills, 5th edition by Wiley. Alternatively the methods outlined in WO 2008/103351 can also be utilized in the synthesis of various monocyclic heterocycles. Representative examples of some monocyclic amino heterocycles are shown below.
The ketone intermediate is condensed with bis trimethylsilyl carbodimide in presence of Lewis acids such as titanium isoporpoxide in solvents such as DCM or THF at room temperature to yield the N-cyanoimine product. The imine is subsequently condensed with hydroxylamine derivative in presence of base such as sodium methoxide in protic solvent such as methanol, t-Butanol etc. at room temperature to yield the desired 1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-amine heterocycle.
The N-cyano intermediate as described in scheme 2a is reacted with ammonium carbonate and KCN in protic solvent mixture such as ethanol/water and heated to 50-150° C. in a sealed tube overnight. The resulting hydantoin can be alkylated with various alkylating agents in the presence of inorganic bases such as Cs2CO3 or K2CO3 or organic bases such as TEA or DBU in various solvents such as ethanol, DMF or dioxane at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 120° C. The resulting alkylated product is reacted with thionating reagents such as Lawesson's reagent or P2S5 in a solvent such as THF, Dioxane, toluene etc. at temperatures ranging from 50-150° C. The thioimide is then converted to a 2-amino imidazalinone by reacting with tert butyl hydroperoxide in presence of ammonia or alkylamines.
Alternatively the synthesis of 2-amino imidazolinone can be realized from the hydantoin by converting it to a thioimide, followed by bis-alkylation of the thioamide and imide functions in a one pot procedure. Such a bis-alkylated reagent can be reacted with ammonium hydroxide and ammonium iodide in various solvents such as DMF, ethanol, dioxane etc. at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 150° C. in a sealed tube to yield 2-amino-1H-imidazol-5(4H)-one. Similar procedure can also be employed starting with ketone intermediate A.
The intermediate ketone A can be condensed with t-butyl sulfonylamine or any other amine such as a-methylbenzylamine under dehydrating conditions as exemplified by use of titanium alkoxide reagents or under a Dean Stark apparatus. The imine is reacted with various nucleophiles as illustrated by lithiated ethylacetate. The deprotection of t-butyl sulfonamide is achieved by reacting with acids such as HCl in protic solvents such as methanol etc. The amino ester intermediate product is then condensed with thiophosgene or its equivalent reagent to convert the amino ester to the thioisocyanate ester. Condensation of thioisocyanate intermediate with various primary/secondary amines yielded thiodihydropyrimidinone. The thiodiydropyrimidnone can be converted to 2-amino dihydropyrimidinone by utilizing methods as described in method 2b.
The imine intermediate form above example can also be reacted with carbon nucleophiles such as allylmagnesium bromide to yield sulfonamide. The olefin is subsequently oxidized to aldehyde by ozonolysis or any of its equivalent protocol. The alcohol is obtained from the reaction of aldehyde with reducing agents such as sodium borohydride or utilizing Grignard reagents to yield primary or secondary alcohols. The resulting amino alcohol can be reacted with cyanogen bromide in protic solvents at room temperature to yield 5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazin-2-amine derivatives.
The ketone intermediate A can be converted to an olefin by utilizing the Wittig reaction or any derivation thereof or by other known literature methods. The olefin is hydroborated with borane or equivalent thereof in aprotic solvents such as THF, DCM, diethyl ether etc. at room temperature. The alcohol is condensed with sulfamoyl chloride in presence of base such as NMM, TEA in solvents such as DCM at room temperature. The cyclization of the methylsulfamate can be affected by rhodium catalyst in presence of oxidizing agent such as phenyliodoacetate in solvents such as toluene, acetonitrile, dichloromethane at room temperature to refluxing temperature of the solvent. The cyclic sulfamate is then activated towards nucleophilic attack by reacting with chloroformates followed by addition of a nucleophile such as alkoxide as illustrated by boc protected-N-substituted hydroxyl amine. The protecting group such as t-butyl carbamate can be removed and the resulting amino alcohol condensed with cyanogen bromide in solvents such as ethanol to yield 2,4-oxadiazin-3-amine or 1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazin-3-amine heterocycles.
The ketone intermediate A is reacted with a vinyl magnesium derivative or substituted vinyl lithium at room temperature in solvents such as THF, ether, toluene or in hexane to yield a vinylic alcohol. The vinylic alcohol undergoes electrophilic substitution under acidic conditions (such as AcOH/1M HCl or MeSO3H) in presence of thiourea to yield a vinylogous thiourea derivative. This intermediate can be cyclized to 1, 3 thiazine-2-amine when exposed to strong acidic conditions as in TFA/MeSO3H at room temperature overnight.
The monoheterocyclic intermediate A containing halogens on the benzene ring can be further elaborated by known organic transformations such as Suzuki couplings of boronates or trifluorborates or with pinacol boronates using various palladium catalyst such as Pd[P(Ph3)3] or Pd(dppf)2Cl2 or any such similar catalyst in presence of inorganic bases such as K2CO3, CsCO3 in variety of solvents either as single solvent or as combination comprising of Toluene, DMF, Ethanol, water etc. at temperature ranging from 50-100° C. One can utilize copper mediated Sonogashira coupling to introduce alkyne substituent's on the scaffold. Alternatively one can utilize additional transition metal chemistry to introduce alkyne, alkenes, aryls, heterocycles and additional functional groups. Number of such chemical transformations are exemplified in following references: Transition Metals for Organic Synthesis: Building Blocks and Fine Chemicals, by Beller and Bolm, 2nd Edition by Wiley-VCH, 2002 and in Modern Arylation Methods by Lutz Ackermann, 1st edition, 2009.
For example, the amino heterocycle of the bromo intermediate is protected as its Boc derivative utilizing Boc anhydride in solvents such as THF, DCM at room temperature. This allows conversion of the bromo to the corresponding pinacolboronate derivative as described in literature. Peroxide oxidation of the pinacolboronate to yield the alcohol is then an available option. The alcohol can be further alkylated with various alkyl/cycloalkyl/heteroalkyl halides in presence of bases such as Cs2CO3, KOtBu or TEA in solvents such as DMF or dioxane. In addition the alcohol can be arylated under variety of coupling conditions to yield aryl/heteroaryl ethers. The Boc group is further deprotected to yield final compound.

Suitable reagents and reaction conditions for Grignard reaction can be used for the reaction depicted in Scheme. Exemplary reagents and reaction conditions are described in Example 410I.
In cases where the synthetic intermediates and final products of Formula (A), (I′) or (I) described below contain potentially reactive functional groups, for example amino, hydroxy, thiol and carboxylic acid groups, that may interfere with the desired reaction, it may be advantageous to employ protected forms of the intermediate. Methods for the selection, introduction and subsequent removal of protecting groups are well known to those skilled in the art. (T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis” John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York 1999). Such protecting group manipulations are assumed in the discussion below and not usually described explicitly. Generally, reagents in the reaction schemes are used in equimolar amounts; however, in certain cases it may be desirable to use an excess of one reagent to drive a reaction to completion. This is especially the case when the excess reagent can be readily removed by evaporation or extraction. Bases employed to neutralize HCl in reaction mixtures are generally used in slight to substantial excess (1.05-5 equivalents).

The reagents used in the preparation of the compounds of this invention can be either commercially obtained or can be prepared by standard procedures described in the literature.

Dilute contents of Row A 1:3 in Row B, then continue through Rows C-H.
Create Media Plate.
To create a 2× solution of compound in media, add 996 μL Culture Medium to each well of a 96-well 2 mL deep well plate (Media Plate) in biosafety hood. Add 4 μL 5 mM control compound to Media Plate wells A1-D1 for determination of full inhibition. Add 4 μL from Compound Dilution Plate to corresponding wells of Medium Plate (do not add additional DMSO to wells A1-D1).
Add Media to Cell Plate.
With a multichannel pipettor, mix each well of Media Plate several times to insure homogeneity. Add 100 μL of mixture to Black polymer bottom P-D-L plates. Next, place Medium Plate and Cell Plate in the incubator.
Add Cells to Cell Plate.
Trypsinize and count H4-APPsw cells. Dilute cells 6×105 cells/mL in Culture Medium and remove Cell Plate from incubator.

Results
The in vitro cell activity studies were carried out for compounds of the invention and the data is shown below:
For each compound being tested, the BACE activity was monitored in a fluorescence quenching assay (FRET) using the ectodomain of BACE (aa 1-454) fused to a myc-his tag and secreted from HEK293/BACEect. cells into OptiMEM™ (Invitrogen) as enzyme source and a substrate peptide derived from the APP-Swedish mutation which possesses a Cy3-fluorophore at the N-terminus and a Cy5Q-quencher at the C-terminus (Cy3-SEVNLDAEFK-Cy5Q-NH2; Amersham). The substrate was dissolved at 1 mg/mL in DMSO.
The assay was performed in the presence of 5 μl OptiMEM (supernatant collected over 24 hours and cleared from cellular debris by centrifugation) containing the ectodomain of BACE, 25 μl water containing the desired concentration of test compound and 1% DMSO, 1 μM substrate peptide, 20 mM NaOAc, pH 4.4 and 0.04% Triton-X100 in a total assay volume of 50 μl in a 384 well plate. In general, 25 μl of compound dilution were given to the plate followed by the addition of 10 μl of BACE containing OptiMEM™ diluted 1:2 in water with 0.2% Triton X-100. The reaction was started with the addition of 15 μl substrate in NaOAc buffer. The reaction was incubated at 30° C. in a fluorimeter and the cleavage of the substrate was recorded as kinetic for 60 min. at ex: 530 nm, em: 590 nm. Blank wells containing either no inhibitor or no enzyme were included on each plate.
The intensity of fluorescence was regressed against time in order to derive velocities of reaction in all 384 wells. These velocities were used for calculating percent inhibition using an uninhibited control containing 1% DMSO and a fully inhibited control incubations performed in the absence of enzyme. IC50 values were calculated by fitting percent inhibition vs. inhibitor concentration using standard software like GraphPadPrism.
Using this assay protocol, compound dilutions were either done using a Tecan Freedom EV0 (assay format A) or manually using multichannel pipettes (assay format B).
