Provided herein are compounds that are modulators of JAK kinases, compositions comprising the compounds and methods of use thereof. The compounds provided are useful in the treatment, prevention, or amelioration of a disease or disorder related to JAK, including JAK2, JAK3 or TYK2 kinases, or one or more symptoms associated with such diseases or disorders. Further provided are methods for treatment of cancer, including blood borne and solid tumors.
The JAK kinase family is a cytoplasmic protein kinase family comprising the members JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2. Growth factor or cytokine receptors that recruit JAK kinases include the interferon receptors, interleukin receptors (receptors for the cytokines IL-2 to IL-7, IL-9 to IL-13, IL-15, IL-23), various hormone receptors (erythropoietin (Epo) receptor, the thrombopoietin (Tpo) receptor, the leptin receptor, the insulin receptor, the prolactin (PRL) receptor, the Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) receptor and the growth hormone receptor, receptor protein tyrosine kinases (such as EGFR and PDGFR), and receptors for other growth factors such as leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), Oncostatin M (OSM), IFNα/β/γ, Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) (See, Rane, S. G. and Reddy E. P., Oncogene 2000 19, 5662-5679).
Phosphorylated receptors serve as docking sites for other SH-2 domain containing signaling molecules that interact with JAKs such as the STAT family of transcription factors, Src family of kinases, MAP kinases, PI3 kinase and protein tyrosine phosphatases (Rane S. G. and Reddy E. P., Oncogene 2000 19, 5662-5679). The family of latent cytoplasmic transcription factors, STATs, is the most well characterized downstream substrates for JAKs. The STAT proteins bind to phosphorylated cytokine receptors through their SH2 domains to become phosphorylated by JAKs, which leads to their dimerization and release and eventual translocation to the nucleus where they activate gene transcription. The various members of STAT which have been identified thus far, are STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STATS (including STAT5a and STAT5b) and STATE.
Since the JAK kinases may play an important signaling role via such receptors, disorders of fat metabolism, growth disorders and disorders of the immune system are all potential therapeutic targets.
The JAK kinases and JAK2 mutations are implicated in myeloproliferative disorders, cancers, including blood borne and solid tumors. Exemplary disorders include chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF), chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and systemic mastocytosis (SM). Myeloproliferative disorders are believed to arise from either gain-of-function mutations to JAK itself or from activation by the oncoprotein BCR-ABL, which specifically activates the JAK2 pathway. Several literature reports describe role of JAK2 mutations in various disorders. See, Samanta et al. Cancer Res 2006, 66(13), 6468-6472, Sawyers et al. Cell, 1992, 70, 901-910, Tefferi N. Eng. J.

Literature indicates that JAK may also serve as a target for prostate cancer, including androgen-resistant prostate cancer. See, Barton et al. Mol. Canc. Ther. 2004 3(1), 11-20, Blume-Jensen et al. Nature (2001) 411(6835):355-356 and Bromberg J Clin Invest. (2002) 109(9):1139-1142, Rane Oncogene (2000) 19(49):5662-5679. JAK as a prominent mediator of the cytokine signaling pathway, is considered to be a therapeutic target for inflammation and transplant rejections. See, Borie et al., Transplantation (2005) 79(7):791-801 and Milici et al., Arthritis Research (2008) 10(R14):1-9
Given the multitude of diseases attributed to the dysregulation of JAK signaling, many small molecule inhibitors of JAK are currently being developed. Examples of compounds in preclinical development include TG101209 (TargeGen). Examples of compounds being investigated in clinical studies include INCB018424 (Incyte), XL019 (Exelixis) and TG101348 (TargeGen). See, Pardanani et al. Leukemia 2007, 21:1658-1668; and Pardanai, A. Leukemia 2008 22:23-20.

As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “hydrate” means a compound provided herein or a salt thereof, that further includes a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometeric amount of water bound by non-covalent intermolecular forces.
As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “solvate” means a solvate formed from the association of one or more solvent molecules to a compound provided herein. The term “solvate” includes hydrates (e.g., mono-hydrate, dihydrate, trihydrate, tetrahydrate and the like).
As used herein, “substantially pure” means sufficiently homogeneous to appear free of readily detectable impurities as determined by standard methods of analysis, such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), gel electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS), used by those of skill in the art to assess such purity, or sufficiently pure such that further purification would not detectably alter the physical and chemical properties, such as enzymatic and biological activities, of the substance. Methods for purification of the compounds to produce substantially chemically pure compounds are known to those of skill in the art. A substantially chemically pure compound may, however, be a mixture of stereoisomers. In such instances, further purification might increase the specific activity of the compound.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, where a compound may assume alternative tautomeric, regioisomeric and/or stereoisomeric forms, all alternative isomers are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the claimed subject matter. For example, where a compound is described as having one of two tautomeric forms, it is intended that the both tautomers be encompassed herein. Thus, the compounds provided herein may be enantiomerically pure, or be stereoisomeric or diastereomeric mixtures.
It is to be understood that the compounds provided herein may contain chiral centers. Such chiral centers may be of either the (R) or (S) configuration, or may be a mixture thereof.
Optically active (+) and (−), (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques, such as reverse phase HPLC or by crystallization.
As used herein, the term “enantiomerically pure” or “pure enantiomer” denotes that the compound comprises more than 75% by weight, more than 80% by weight, more than 85% by weight, more than 90% by weight, more than 91% by weight, more than 92% by weight, more than 93% by weight, more than 94% by weight, more than 95% by weight, more than 96% by weight, more than 97% by weight, more than 98% by weight, more than 98.5% by weight, more than 99% by weight, more than 99.2% by weight, more than 99.5% by weight, more than 99.6% by weight, more than 99.7% by weight, more than 99.8% by weight or more than 99.9% by weight, of the desired enantiomer.
Where the number of any given substituent is not specified (e.g., haloalkyl), there may be one or more substituents present. For example, “haloalkyl” may include one or more of the same or different halogens.
In the description herein, if there is any discrepancy between a chemical name and chemical structure, the structure preferably controls.
As used herein, “isotopic composition” refers to the amount of each isotope present for a given atom, and “natural isotopic composition” refers to the naturally occurring isotopic composition or abundance for a given atom. Atoms containing their natural isotopic composition may also be referred to herein as “non-enriched” atoms. Unless otherwise designated, the atoms of the compounds recited herein are meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. For example, unless otherwise stated, when a position is designated specifically as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural isotopic composition.
As used herein, “isotopically enriched” refers to an atom having an isotopic composition other than the natural isotopic composition of that atom. “Isotopically enriched” may also refer to a compound containing at least one atom having an isotopic composition other than the natural isotopic composition of that atom.
As used herein, “isotopic enrichment” refers to the percentage of incorporation of an amount of a specific isotope at a given atom in a molecule in the place of that atom's natural isotopic abundance. For example, deuterium enrichment of 1% at a given position means that 1% of the molecules in a given sample contain deuterium at the specified position. Because the naturally occurring distribution of deuterium is about 0.0156%, deuterium enrichment at any position in a compound synthesized using non-enriched starting materials is about 0.0156%. The isotopic enrichment of the compounds provided herein can be determined using conventional analytical methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art, including mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
In certain embodiments, compounds herein having one or more deutero substituents have an isotopic enrichment factor for each designated deuterium atom of from about 50% to about 99.5%, 60% to about 99.5%, 70% to about 99.5% deuterium incorporation.

In one embodiment, provided herein is a compound selected from
Also provided herein are isotopically enriched analogs of the compounds provided herein. Isotopic enrichment (for example, deuteration) of pharmaceuticals to improve pharmacokinetics (“PK”), pharmacodynamics (“PD”), and toxicity profiles, has been demonstrated previously with some classes of drugs. See, for example, Lijinsky et. al., Food Cosmet. Toxicol., 20: 393 (1982); Lijinsky et. al., J. Nat. Cancer Inst., 69: 1127 (1982); Mangold et. al., Mutation Res. 308: 33 (1994); Gordon et. al., Drug Metab. Dispos., 15: 589 (1987); Zello et. al., Metabolism, 43: 487 (1994); Gately et. al., J. Nucl. Med., 27: 388 (1986); Wade D, Chem. Biol. Interact. 117: 191 (1999).
Isotopic enrichment of a drug can be used, for example, to (1) reduce or eliminate unwanted metabolites, (2) increase the half-life of the parent drug, (3) decrease the number of doses needed to achieve a desired effect, (4) decrease the amount of a dose necessary to achieve a desired effect, (5) increase the formation of active metabolites, if any are formed, and/or (6) decrease the production of deleterious metabolites in specific tissues and/or create a more effective drug and/or a safer drug for combination therapy, whether the combination therapy is intentional or not.
Replacement of an atom for one of its isotopes often will result in a change in the reaction rate of a chemical reaction. This phenomenon is known as the Kinetic Isotope Effect (“KIE”). For example, if a C—H bond is broken during a rate-determining step in a chemical reaction (i.e. the step with the highest transition state energy), substitution of a deuterium for that hydrogen will cause a decrease in the reaction rate and the process will slow down. This phenomenon is known as the Deuterium Kinetic Isotope Effect (“DKIE”). (See, e.g, Foster et al., Adv. Drug Res., vol. 14, pp. 1-36 (1985); Kushner et al., Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol., vol. 77, pp. 79-88 (1999)).
Tritium (“T”) is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, used in research, fusion reactors, neutron generators and radiopharmaceuticals. Tritium is a hydrogen atom that has 2 neutrons in the nucleus and has an atomic weight close to 3. It occurs naturally in the environment in very low concentrations, most commonly found as T2O. Tritium decays slowly (half-life=12.3 years) and emits a low energy beta particle that cannot penetrate the outer layer of human skin Internal exposure is the main hazard associated with this isotope, yet it must be ingested in large amounts to pose a significant health risk. As compared with deuterium, a lesser amount of tritium must be consumed before it reaches a hazardous level. Substitution of tritium (“T”) for hydrogen results in yet a stronger bond than deuterium and gives numerically larger isotope effects. Similarly, substitution of isotopes for other elements, including, but not limited to, 13C or 14C for carbon, 33S, 34S, or 36S for sulfur, 15N for nitrogen, and 17O or 18O for oxygen, will provide a similar kinetic isotope effects.

The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, including direct compression, dry or wet granulation followed by compression, melt-granulation followed by compression.
2. Osmotic Controlled Release Devices
The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be fabricated using an osmotic controlled release device, including one-chamber system, two-chamber system, asymmetric membrane technology (AMT), and extruding core system (ECS). In general, such devices have at least two components: (a) the core which contains the active ingredient(s); and (b) a semipermeable membrane with at least one delivery port, which encapsulates the core. The semipermeable membrane controls the influx of water to the core from an aqueous environment of use so as to cause drug release by extrusion through the delivery port(s).
In addition to the active ingredient(s), the core of the osmotic device optionally includes an osmotic agent, which creates a driving force for transport of water from the environment of use into the core of the device. One class of osmotic agents water-swellable hydrophilic polymers, which are also referred to as “osmopolymers” and “hydrogels,” including, but not limited to, hydrophilic vinyl and acrylic polymers, polysaccharides such as calcium alginate, polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), poly(acrylic) acid, poly(methacrylic) acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), crosslinked PVP, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA/PVP copolymers, PVA/PVP copolymers with hydrophobic monomers such as methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate, hydrophilic polyurethanes containing large PEO blocks, sodium croscarmellose, carrageenan, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and carboxyethyl, cellulose (CEC), sodium alginate, polycarbophil, gelatin, xanthan gum, and sodium starch glycolate.
The other class of osmotic agents is osmogens, which are capable of imbibing water to affect an osmotic pressure gradient across the barrier of the surrounding coating. Suitable osmogens include, but are not limited to, inorganic salts, such as magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, lithium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium phosphates, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfite, lithium sulfate, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate; sugars, such as dextrose, fructose, glucose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, raffinose, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose, and xylitol,; organic acids, such as ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, maleic acid, sebacic acid, sorbic acid, adipic acid, edetic acid, glutamic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid; urea; and mixtures thereof.
Osmotic agents of different dissolution rates can be employed to influence how rapidly the active ingredient(s) is initially delivered from the dosage form. For example, amorphous sugars, such as MANNOGEM™ EZ (SPI Pharma, Lewes, Del.) can be used to provide faster delivery during the first couple of hours to promptly produce the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release of the remaining amount to maintain the desired level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In this case, the active ingredient(s) is released at such a rate to replace the amount of the active ingredient metabolized and excreted.
The core can also include a wide variety of other excipients and carriers as described herein to enhance the performance of the dosage form or to promote stability or processing.
Materials useful in forming the semipermeable membrane include various grades of acrylics, vinyls, ethers, polyamides, polyesters, and cellulosic derivatives that are water-permeable and water-insoluble at physiologically relevant pHs, or are susceptible to being rendered water-insoluble by chemical alteration, such as crosslinking Examples of suitable polymers useful in forming the coating, include plasticized, unplasticized, and reinforced cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, CA propionate, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), CA ethyl carbamate, CAP, CA methyl carbamate, CA succinate, cellulose acetate trimellitate (CAT), CA dimethylaminoacetate, CA ethyl carbonate, CA chloroacetate, CA ethyl oxalate, CA methyl sulfonate, CA butyl sulfonate, CA p-toluene sulfonate, agar acetate, amylose triacetate, beta glucan acetate, beta glucan triacetate, acetaldehyde dimethyl acetate, triacetate of locust bean gum, hydroxylated ethylene-vinylacetate, EC, PEG, PPG, PEG/PPG copolymers, PVP, HEC, HPC, CMC, CMEC, HPMC, HPMCP, HPMCAS, HPMCAT, poly(acrylic) acids and esters and poly-(methacrylic) acids and esters and copolymers thereof, starch, dextran, dextrin, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, polyalkenes, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.
Semipermeable membrane can also be a hydrophobic microporous membrane, wherein the pores are substantially filled with a gas and are not wetted by the aqueous medium but are permeable to water vapor, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,798,119. Such hydrophobic but water-vapor permeable membrane are typically composed of hydrophobic polymers such as polyalkenes, polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyacrylic acid derivatives, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.
The delivery port(s) on the semipermeable membrane can be formed post-coating by mechanical or laser drilling. Delivery port(s) can also be formed in situ by erosion of a plug of water-soluble material or by rupture of a thinner portion of the membrane over an indentation in the core. In addition, delivery ports can be formed during coating process, as in the case of asymmetric membrane coatings of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,612,059 and 5,698,220.
The total amount of the active ingredient(s) released and the release rate can substantially by modulated via the thickness and porosity of the semipermeable membrane, the composition of the core, and the number, size, and position of the delivery ports.
The pharmaceutical compositions in an osmotic controlled-release dosage form can further comprise additional conventional excipients or carriers as described herein to promote performance or processing of the formulation.

All commercially available compounds were used without further purification unless otherwise indicated. Proton (1H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were typically recorded at 300 MHz on a Bruker Avance 300 NMR spectrometer unless otherwise noted. Significant peaks are tabulated and typically include: number of protons, and multiplicity (s, singlet; d, double; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiplet; br s, broad singlet). Chemical shifts are reported as parts per million (6) relative to tetramethylsilane. Unless otherwise noted, low resolution mass spectra (MS) were obtained as electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectra, which were typically recorded on a Shimadzu HPLC/MS instrument using reverse-phase conditions using a mobile phase gradients of either acetonitrile/water containing 0.05% acetic acid or MeOH/water containing 0.2% formic acid. Preparative reverse phase HPLC was typically performed using a Varian HPLC system equipped with a Phenomenex phenylhexyl, a Phenomenex Luna C18, or a Varian Pursuit diphenyl reverse phase column; typical elution conditions utilized a gradient of acetonitrile/water containing 0.05% acetic acid. Silica gel chromatography was either performed manually, typically following the published procedure for flash chromatography (Still et al. (1978) J. Org. Chem. 43:2923), or on an automated system (for example, on a Biotage SP instrument) using pre-packed silica gel columns.
It is understood that in the following description, combinations of substituents and/or variables of the depicted formulae are permissible only if such contributions result in stable compounds under standard conditions.
It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in the process described below the functional groups of intermediate compounds may need to be protected by suitable protecting groups. Such functional groups include hydroxy, amino, mercapto and carboxylic acid. Suitable protecting groups for hydroxy include trialkylsilyl or diarylalkylsilyl (e.g., t-butyldimethylsilyl, t-butyldiphenylsilyl or trimethylsilyl), tetrahydropyranyl, benzyl, and the like. Suitable protecting groups for amino, amidino and guanidino include t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, and the like. Suitable protecting groups for mercapto include —C(O)—R (where R is alkyl, aryl or aralkyl), p-methoxybenzyl, trityl and the like. Suitable protecting groups for carboxylic acid include alkyl, aryl or aralkyl esters.
Protecting groups may be added or removed in accordance with standard techniques, which are well-known to those skilled in the art and as described herein. The use of protecting groups is described in detail in Green, T. W. and P. G. M. Wutz, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (1991), 2nd Ed., Wiley-Interscience.

Compounds provided herein are synthesized according to the following schemes and descriptions.
As illustrated in Scheme 1, an appropriate aminothiophene-carboxamide 1 can be treated with phosgene or and equivalent (for example diphosgene, triphosgene, carbonyl diimidazole) to form the 2,4-dihydroxythienopyrimidine 2, which is then treated with an appropriate phosphorous or phosphoryl halide reagent, for example phosphoryl chloride, to form the 2,4-dihalo derivative 3 (X=halo). Alternatively, X can be a different leaving group moiety, for example sulfonate, via treatment of 2 with an appropriate sulfonyl halide in the presence of base such as a tertiary amine. As a further alternative, 2 may also be transformed into 3 (X═S(O)-alkyl or S(O)2-alkyl) by treatment with Lawesson's reagent, or P2S5, followed by alkylation and subsequent oxidation. When 3 is treated with an azolyl amine in the presence of tertiary amine base in a suitable solvent such as DMF or DMA with heating as necessary, preferential displacement of X at the 4-position occurs to afford 4. Then 4 is treated with an appropriate thioalkoxide in a suitable solvent such as DMF, DMA, or an alcoholic solvent to form 5. The sulfide of 5 is then oxidized by treatment at 0° C. to rt with a stoichiometric or slight excess quantity of an oxidant such as a percarboxylic acid to give sulfoxide 6. Sulfone 7 is formed either from further oxidation of 6 using additional equivalents of oxidant at rt to elevated temperature as required, or can be formed directly from 5 by treatment with two to four equivalents of oxidant at rt to elevated temperature as required to drive the reaction to substantial completion.
As illustrated in Scheme 2, an appropriate aminothiophene-carboxamide 1 can be transformed to a 2-carboxylate substituted thienopyrimidine 8 by treatment with an activated oxalic acid derivative such as a dialkyl oxalate either neat or in a suitable solvent such as EtOH or HOAc with heating as required. Alternatively, 1 is treated with an oxalic acid monoalkyl ester chloride in a suitable solvent such as DCM in the presence of a base such as TEA and optionally in the presence of a catalyst such as DMAP; or 1 is treated with a cyano oxoacetate monoalkyl ester with heating in a suitable solvent such as acetonitrile or DMF in the presence of a base such as TEA. Subsequent treatment under dehydrating conditions, for example, heating with or without TMSCl in the presence of a suitable base such as DIEA in a suitable solvent such as DCE affords the bicyclic product 8. Treatment of 8 with an appropriate phosphorous or phosphoryl halide reagent, for example phosphoryl chloride, forms the 4-halo derivative 9. Alternatively, 8 may be treated with a sulfonyl halide to form 9 (X═O-sulfonyl). As a further alternative, 8 may also be transformed into 9 (X═S(O)-alkyl or S(O)2-alkyl) by treatment with Lawesson's reagent, or P2S5, followed by alkylation and subsequent oxidation. Treatment of 9 with a metalloarene or metalloheteroarene, for example an aryl or heteroaryl lithium or an aryl or heteroaryl Grignard reagent in a suitable solvent such diethyl ether, THF, or other ether solvent, produces ketone 10. Subsequent conversion of 10 to 11 is accomplished under conditions analogous to those described in Scheme 1 for conversion of 3 to 4.
As illustrated in Scheme 3, compounds 1 may be condensed with a suitably activated carboxylic acid derivative 12 followed by dehydrative cyclization, promoted for example, with heat or with TMSCl in the presence of a tertiary amine base such as TEA, DIEA, or pyridine to form 4-hydroxy derivatives 13. Alternatively, heating of 1 with a carboxylic acid (12, Y═OH), or its salt, in the presence of trimethylsilyl polyphosphate affords 13. Treatment of 13 with an appropriate phosphorous or phosphoryl halide reagent, for example phosphoryl chloride, forms the 4-halo derivative 14. Alternatively, 13 may be treated with a sulfonyl halide in the presence of base to form 14 (X═O-sulfonyl). As a further alternative, 13 may also be transformed into 14 (X═S(O)-alkyl or S(O)2-alkyl) by treatment with Lawesson's reagent, or P2S5, followed by alkylation and subsequent oxidation. Subsequent conversion of 14 to 15 is accomplished under conditions analogous to those described in Scheme 1 for conversion of 3 to 4.
In Scheme 4 is illustrated synthetic methodology suitable for preparation of thienopyridines 21. Treatment of an appropriate halothiophene carboxylic acid 16 with acetoacetate ester and subsequent processing under conditions described in the literature (see Bender and Sarantakis, Org Prep Proc Int 1986, 18, 286-289 and references therein), 18 is formed. The hydroxyl groups of 18 are converted to leaving groups X in a manner analogous to that described in Scheme 1 for conversion of 2 to 3 to form 19. Treatment of 19 with an aminoazole with heating as required in the presence of acid or base or in the presence of a suitable Pd catalyst with added Pd ligands as required affords 20. Treatment of 20 with a suitable thiolate reagent with heating as required forms an intermediate sulfide, which is oxidized to sulfoxides or sulfones 21 in a manner analogous to that described in Scheme 1 for conversion of 5 to 6 or 7. In some cases it may be advantageous to displace one of the X groups of 19 with a group “Prot” followed by reaction with a thiolate reagent to form 22. “Prot” is intended to be a group, for example alkoxy, which can be subsequently conveniently reverted to a leaving group X, for example to afford 23. Conversion of 23 to 24 is effected under conditions analogous to, or if needed, more forcing than, those that used to effect conversion of 19 to 20. Conversion of 24 to 21 is carried out under conditions analogous to those described in Scheme 1 for the conversion of 5 to 6 or 7.
In Scheme 5 is illustrated synthetic methodology suitable for preparation of thienopyridines 29. A suitable halothiophene carboxylic ester 25 is treated with 2-acetamidoacrylate ester in the presence of a Pd catalyst, for example palladium acetate, with heating in a suitable solvent such as DMF to form 26. The hydroxyl group of 26 is converted to a leaving group X to form 27 in a manner analogous to that described in Scheme 1 for conversion of 2 to 3. Treatment of 27 with a metalloarene or metalloheteroarene, for example an aryl or heteroaryl lithium or an aryl or heteroaryl Grignard reagent in a suitable solvent such diethyl ether, THF, or other ether solvent, produces ketone 28. Treatment of 28 with an aminoazole with heating as required in the presence of acid or base or in the presence of a suitable Pd catalyst with added Pd ligands as required affords 29.
In Scheme 6 is illustrated synthetic methodology suitable for preparation of thienopyridines 34. In a manner analogous to procedures described in WO2003/106421, a suitable methylthiophene carbonitrile 30 is deprotonated using strong base and then treated with a suitably activated carboxylic acid 12, wherein Y may be alkoxy or —N(Me)OMe, to form ketone 31. Treatment of 31 under acidic conditions effects ring closure to the fused hydroxypyridine derivative 32. The hydroxyl group of 32 is converted to a leaving group X to form 33 in a fashion analogous to that described in Scheme 1 for conversion of 2 to 3. Treatment of 33 with an aminoazole with heating as required in the presence of acid or base or in the presence of a suitable Pd catalyst with added Pd ligands as required affords 34.
In Scheme 7 is illustrated synthetic methodology suitable for preparation of thienopyridines 39. As described by Barker, et al. (J. Chem. Res. 1985, 5, 214-215), treatment of a suitable aminothiophene carboxylic ester 35 with a dialkyl malonate such as 35a affords amide 36. Alternatively, as described in WO2006/61642, treatment of 35 with an alkyl 3-chloro-3-oxopropanoate in the presence of a tertiary amine base affords 36. Treatment of 36 with a base such as sodium hydride or an alkoxide with heating effects ring closure, which is followed by ester hydrolysis and decarboxylation to afford 37. Conversion of 37 to 39 via 38 is effected using methodology analogous to that described in Scheme 4 for conversion of 18 to 21.
In Scheme 8 is illustrated synthetic methodology suitable for preparation of thienopyridines 44. As described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,026,700, treatment of a suitable aminothiophene 40 with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate in refluxing alcohol solvent affords fused hydroxypyridine 41 Alternatively, dialkyl 2-oxosuccinate may be substituted for dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate. Conversion of 41 to 44 via 42 and 43 may be effected using methodology analogous to that described in Scheme 5 for converting 26 to 29.
In Scheme 9 is illustrated synthetic methodology suitable for preparation of thienopyridines 48. A suitable aminothiophene 40 is acetylated under Friedel-Crafts conditions and then the amino group is acylated with a suitably activated carboxylic acid derivative 12 to afford amide 45. Ring closure to 46 is effected by treatment with a base such as hydroxide or alkoxide with heating as required. Conversion of 46 to 48 via 47 is effected using methodology analogous to that described in Scheme 6 for conversion of 32 to 34.
In Scheme 10 are illustrated representative examples by which the keto group in any of 11 (Scheme 2), 29 (Scheme 5), or 44 (Scheme 8) can be further modified to afford additional compounds of the invention. Treatment of ketone with Lawesson's reagent affords thioketones 49. Treatment of ketone with an amine, hydroxylamine, or alkoxylamine under dehydrating conditions optionally in the presence of acid with heating affords, respectively, imines, oximes, or 0-alkyl oximes 50. Treatment of ketone with a Wittig reagent or Horner-Emmons reagent affords olefins 51. Treatment of ketone with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride or lithium borohydride affords secondary alcohols 52. Treatment of ketone with an organometallic reagent such as a Grignard reagent or an organolithium compound affords tertiary alcohols 53. Heating ketone with an alcohol in the presence of acid with removal of water affords ketals 54. Heating ketone with a 1,2-1,3- or 1,4 diol in the presence of acid with removal of water affords cyclic ketals 55.
In Scheme 11 is illustrated a useful method for preparing acids 12 used in Schemes 3, 6, and 9. A carboxylic acid derivative 56, where Y′ is for example alkoxy or a subsequently removable chiral auxiliary, is deprotonated at the alpha position with a strong base and treated with an alkylating agent to afford 57. The sequence is repeated with the same or a different alkylating agent to form 58. The Y′ group of 58 is then converted by procedures well known in the art to the Y group of 12 that is suitable for use in Scheme 3, 6, or 9.
In Scheme 12 is illustrated an alternative method for preparing acids 12 used in Schemes 3, 6, and 9. A suitable carboxylic acid derivative, following conversion with base to an enolate 59 or its equivalent is treated with an aryl halide, or more suitably with a heteroaryl halide to form 61. The Y′ group of 61 is then converted by procedures well known in the art to the Y group of 12 that is suitable for use in Scheme 3, 6, or 9.
It will be appreciated by one skilled in the art that standard functional group manipulations may be used to prepare additional compounds of the invention from products or intermediates prepared as described by the foregoing methods. In Scheme 13 are shown representative examples that are intended to illustrate, but in no way to limit the scope of, such standard functional group manipulations.
Aminoazole or azolyl amine intermediates employed herein may be obtained either via commercial sources or prepared using methods known to those skilled in the art. Scheme 14 illustrates representative methods that may be employed for the preparation of additional aminoazoles or azolyl amines. For example, nitroazoles 73 may be converted to aminoazoles 74 via treatment with a suitable reducing agent such as SnCl2 in a suitable solvent such as DCE or EtOH optionally in the presence of HCl, with heating. Alternatively, treatment of 73 with activated iron or zinc metal in HOAc with heating, will afford 74. Alternatively, treatment of 73 with palladium metal on activated carbon in the presence of ≧1 atmosphere pressure of hydrogen gas, in a suitable solvent such as MeOH, EtOH, or EtOAc or mixtures of these, at rt or with heating as required, will afford 74. Alternatively treatment of 73 with sodium hydrosulfite in a suitable solvent mixture such as THF and water at rt or with heating as required, will afford 74. Alternatively, aminoazoles 74 may also be obtained from azole carboxylic acids 75 via initial treatment with diphenylphosphoryl azide in the presence of an organic base such as TEA, and in a suitable solvent such as toluene or THF, and with heating from 50° C. to 150° C. as required, followed by hydrolysis. Alternatively, treatment of 75 with diphenylphosphoryl azide in the presence of an organic base such as TEA, and in the presence of excess tent-butanol, and in a suitable solvent such as toluene or THF, and with heating from 50° C. to 150° C. as required, will afford a tert-butylcarbamoyl azole intermediate, which upon treatment with an acid such as TFA or HCl in a suitable solvent, will afford 74. Aminoazoles 74 may also be obtained from azolyl bromides or iodides 76, bearing (as required) suitable protecting groups on any azole ring N—H positions, via initial treatment with a suitable amino containing reagent (where P=protecting group), such as benzophenone imine, 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine, or tent-butyl carbamate, and in the presence of a catalytic amount of a suitable organopalladium-complex, and optionally in the presence of a suitable phosphine-ligand, and optionally in the presence of a suitable base, and in a suitable solvent at elevated temperature or under microwave conditions, to afford intermediate 77. Subsequent N-deprotection of intermediate 77 (including azole ring N-deprotection, where required), employing appropriate methods known to those skilled in the art will afford 74. Conversion of aminoazoles 74 to alkylated aminoazoles 78 may be achieved via treatment of 74 with an appropriate aldehyde or ketone substrate, in the presence of a suitable Lewis acid such as TMSCl or TiCl4 and a reducing agent such as sodium (triacetoxy)borohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride, in a suitable organic solvent such as DCM, DCE, THF, or MeOH, optionally in the presence of HOAc, at rt or with heating as required. Alternatively, 78 may be obtained via treatment of 74 with an alkyl halide in the presence of a suitable organic base such as pyridine or DIEA, and sodium or potassium iodide, and in a suitable solvent such as DMF or THF, at rt or with heating as required. Nitroazoles 73, azole carboxylic acids 75, and azole bromides or iodides 76 may be obtained from commercial sources or prepared using methods known to those skilled in the art.

Competition binding assays used herein were developed, validated and performed as described in Fabian et al., Nature Biotechnology 2005, 23,329-336. Kinases were produced as fusions to T7 phage (See, Fabian et al. or WO04/015142) or alternatively, the kinases were expressed in HEK-293 cells and subsequently tagged with DNA for PCR detection (See, WO08/005310). For the binding assays, streptavidin-coated magnetic beads were treated with biotinylated affinity ligands for 30 min at rt to generate affinity resins. The liganded beads were blocked with excess biotin and washed with blocking buffer (SeaBlock (Pierce), 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20, 1 mM DTT) to remove unbound ligand and to reduce non-specific binding. Binding reactions were assembled by combining kinase, liganded affinity beads, and test compounds in 1× binding buffer (20% SeaBlock, 0.17×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 6 mM DTT). Test compounds were prepared as 100× stocks in DMSO and rapidly diluted into the aqueous environment. DMSO was added to control assays lacking a test compound. Primary screen interactions were performed in polypropylene 384-well plates in a final volume of 34 μL, while Kd determinations were performed in polystyrene 96-well plates in a final volume of 135 μL. The assay plates were incubated at room temperature with shaking for 1 hour, long enough for binding reactions to reach equilibrium, and the affinity beads were washed extensively with wash buffer (1× PBS, 0.05% Tween 20) to remove unbound protein. The beads were then resuspended in elution buffer (1× PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 2 μM non-biotinylated affinity ligand) and incubated at room temperature with shaking for 30 min. The kinase concentration in the eluates was measured by quantitative PCR. Each kinase was tested individually against each compound. Kds were determined using eleven serial threefold dilutions. A selectivity score, which is a quantitative measure of selectivity of a compound against a panel of enzymes, may be calculated for a compound by dividing the number of enzymes for which a compound meets a set criteria, (for example, a binding constant of 100 nM or less), by the total number of enzymes tested. A kinase selectivity score, S10, for example, is calculated for each compound by dividing the number of kinases for which a compound at a certain concentration (for example,10 μM) displayed inhibition of 90% or greater compared to negative control lacking inhibitors (DMSO only), divided by the number of distinct kinases tested excluding mutant variants, typically 359 or 386 kinases.
In one embodiment, the compounds provided herein were found to have Kds of less than about 20 μM against JAK2. In another embodiment, the compounds provided herein were found to have Kds of less than about 10 μM against JAK2.
