Definitions
- the invention relates to 8-substituted 2-(benzimidazolyl)purine derivatives and 8-substituted 2-(imidazolo[4,5-c]pyridinyl)purine derivatives useful as immunosuppressants.
- Immunosuppression is an important clinical approach in treating autoimmune disease and in preventing organ and tissue rejection.
- the clinically available immunosuppressants including azathioprine, cyclosporine and tacrolimus, although effective, often cause undesirable side effects including nephrotoxicity, hypertension, gastrointestinal disturbances and gum inflammation.
- Inhibitors of the tyrosine kinase Jak3 are known to be useful as immunosuppressants (see US patent 6,313,129).
- the members of the Janus kinase (Jak) family of non-receptor intracellular tyrosine kinases are components of cytokine signal transduction. Four family members have been identified to date: Jakl, Jak2, Jak3 and Tyk2.
- Jaks play a key role in the intracellular signaling mediated through cytokine receptors. Upon binding of cytokines to their receptors, Jaks are activated and phosphorylate the receptors, creating docking sites for other signaling molecules, in particular members of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) family. While expression of Jakl, Jak2 and Tyk2 is relatively ubiquitous, Jak3 expression is temporally and spatially regulated.
- Jak3 is predominantly expressed in cells of hematopoietic lineage; it is constitutively expressed in natural killer (NK) cells and thymocytes and is inducible in T cells, B cells and myeloid cells (reviewed in Ortmann, et al., 1999 and Yamaoka, et al., 2004). Jak3 is also is expressed in mast cells, and its enzymatic activity is enhanced by IgE receptor/Fc ⁇ RI cross-linking (Malaviya and Uckun, 1999).
- Jak3 inhibitor A specific, orally active Jak3 inhibitor, CP-690,550, has been shown to act as an effective immunosuppressant and prolong animal survival in a murine model of heart transplantation and a primate model of kidney transplantation (Changelian, et al., 2003).
- Jak3 activity has been linked to a leukemic form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (Sezary's syndrome) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common form of childhood cancer.
- the identification of Jak3 inhibitors has provided the basis for new clinical approaches in treating leukemias and lymphomas (reviewed in Uckun, et al, 2005).
- WHI-P131 Two dimethoxyquinazoline derivatives, WHI-P131 (JANEX-I) and WHI-P154 (JANEX-2), have been reported to be selective inhibitors of Jak3 in leukemia cells (Sudbeck et al., 1999).
- Jak3 has also been shown to play a role in mast-cell mediated allergic reactions and inflammatory diseases and serves as a target in indications such as asthma and anaphylaxis.
- Jak3 are useful for indications such as leukemias and lymphomas, organ and bone marrow transplant rejection, mast cell- mediated allergic reactions and inflammatory diseases and disorders.

- the invention relates to a method for treating a disease by altering a response mediated by Jak3 tyrosine kinase.
- the method comprises bringing into contact with Jak3 at least one compound of general formula I.
- the present invention relates to a method of suppressing the immune system in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of general formula I.

- the compounds of the present invention are useful in preventing and treating diseases and disorders related to mast cell-mediated allergic reactions and inflammation.
- Jak3 inhibitors are useful include leukemias and lymphomas.

[0061] As used herein, and as would be understood by the person of skill in the art, the recitation of "a compound” is intended to include salts, solvates and inclusion complexes of that compound.
- solvate refers to a compound of Formula I or II in the solid state, wherein molecules of a suitable solvent are incorporated in the crystal lattice.
- a suitable solvent for therapeutic administration is physiologically tolerable at the dosage administered.
- suitable solvents for therapeutic administration are ethanol and water. When water is the solvent, the solvate is referred to as a hydrate.
- solvates are formed by dissolving the compound in the appropriate solvent and isolating the solvate by cooling or using an antisolvent. The solvate is typically dried or azeotroped under ambient conditions.
- Inclusion complexes are described in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy 19th Ed. (1995) volume 1, page 176-177, which is incorporated herein by reference. The most commonly employed inclusion complexes are those with cyclodextrins, and all cyclodextrin complexes, natural and synthetic, are specifically encompassed within the claims.

- Hyperacute, acute and chronic organ transplant rejection may be treated. Hyperacute rejection occurs within minutes of transplantation. Acute rejection generally occurs within six to twelve months of the transplant. Hyperacute and acute rejections are typically reversible where treated with immunosuppressant agents. Chronic rejection, characterized by gradual loss of organ function, is an ongoing concern for transplant recipients because it can occur anytime after transplantation. [0068] There are about 75 different autoimmune disorders known that may be classified into two types, organ-specific (directed mainly at one organ) and non-organ- specific (affecting multiple organs).
- organ-specific autoimmune disorders are insulin-dependent diabetes (Type I) which affects the pancreas; Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease which affect the thyroid gland; pernicious anemia which affects the stomach; Cushing's disease and Addison's disease which affect the adrenal glands; chronic active hepatitis which affects the liver; polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), celiac disease, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ankylosing spondylitis.
- non-organ-specific autoimmune disorders are rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus and myasthenia gravis.
- Type I diabetes ensues from the selective aggression of autoreactive T-cells against insulin secreting ⁇ cells of the islets of Langerhans.
- Targeting Jak3 in this disease is based on the observation that multiple cytokines that signal through the Jak pathway are known to participate in the T-cell mediated autoimmune destruction of ⁇ cells. Indeed, a Jak3 inhibitor, JANEX-I was shown to prevent spontaneous autoimmune diabetes development in the NOD mouse model of type I diabetes.
- GVHD a donor T-cell initiated pathological condition that frequently follows allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Substantial experimental and clinical research have demonstrated that donor T-cells are the principal mediators and effectors of GVHD.
- Jak3 plays a key role in the induction of GVHD and treatment with a Jak3 inhibitor, JANEX-I, was shown to attenuate the severity of GVHD (reviewed in Cetkovic-Cvrlje and Ucken, 2004).
- Mast cells express Jak3 and Jak3 is a key regulator of the IgE mediated mast cell responses including the release of inflammatory mediators. Jak3 was shown to be a valid target in the treatment of mast cell mediated allergic reaction.
- Allergic disorders associated with mast cell activation include Type I immediate hypersensitivity reactions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever), allergic urticaria (hives), angioedema, allergic asthma and anaphylaxis, i.e., "anaphylatic shock.” These disorders are treated or prevented by inhibition of Jak3 activity, for example, by administration of a Jak3 inhibitor according to the present invention.
- the Jak3 inhibitors may be administered prophylactically, i.e., prior to onset of acute allergic reaction, or they may be administered after onset of the reaction, or at both times.
- Inflammation of tissues and organs occurs in a wide range of disorders and diseases and in certain variations results from activation of the cytokine family of receptors.
- Exemplary inflammatory disorders associated with activation of Jak3 include, in a non-limiting manner, skin inflammation due to radiation exposure, asthma, allergic inflammation and chronic inflammation.
- the Jak3 inhibitors of the present invention are also useful in treating certain malignancies, including skin cancer and hematological malignancy such as lymphomas and leukemias.

Description
8-SUBSTITUTED 2-(BENZIMIDAZOLYL)PURINE DERIVATIVES FOR IMMUNOSUPPRESSION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to 8-substituted 2-(benzimidazolyl)purine derivatives and 8-substituted 2-(imidazolo[4,5-c]pyridinyl)purine derivatives useful as immunosuppressants.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Immunosuppression is an important clinical approach in treating autoimmune disease and in preventing organ and tissue rejection. The clinically available immunosuppressants, including azathioprine, cyclosporine and tacrolimus, although effective, often cause undesirable side effects including nephrotoxicity, hypertension, gastrointestinal disturbances and gum inflammation. Inhibitors of the tyrosine kinase Jak3 are known to be useful as immunosuppressants (see US patent 6,313,129). [0003] The members of the Janus kinase (Jak) family of non-receptor intracellular tyrosine kinases are components of cytokine signal transduction. Four family members have been identified to date: Jakl, Jak2, Jak3 and Tyk2. The Jaks play a key role in the intracellular signaling mediated through cytokine receptors. Upon binding of cytokines to their receptors, Jaks are activated and phosphorylate the receptors, creating docking sites for other signaling molecules, in particular members of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) family. While expression of Jakl, Jak2 and Tyk2 is relatively ubiquitous, Jak3 expression is temporally and spatially regulated. Jak3 is predominantly expressed in cells of hematopoietic lineage; it is constitutively expressed in natural killer (NK) cells and thymocytes and is inducible in T cells, B cells and myeloid cells (reviewed in Ortmann, et al., 1999 and Yamaoka, et al., 2004). Jak3 is also is expressed in mast cells, and its enzymatic activity is enhanced by IgE receptor/FcεRI cross-linking (Malaviya and Uckun, 1999).
[0004] A specific, orally active Jak3 inhibitor, CP-690,550, has been shown to act as an effective immunosuppressant and prolong animal survival in a murine model of heart transplantation and a primate model of kidney transplantation (Changelian, et al., 2003).
[0005] Furthermore, aberrant Jak3 activity has been linked to a leukemic form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (Sezary's syndrome) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common form of childhood cancer. The identification of Jak3 inhibitors has provided the basis for new clinical approaches in treating leukemias and lymphomas (reviewed in Uckun, et al, 2005). Two dimethoxyquinazoline derivatives, WHI-P131 (JANEX-I) and WHI-P154 (JANEX-2), have been reported to be selective inhibitors of Jak3 in leukemia cells (Sudbeck et al., 1999).
[0006] Jak3 has also been shown to play a role in mast-cell mediated allergic reactions and inflammatory diseases and serves as a target in indications such as asthma and anaphylaxis.
[0007] Therefore, compounds that inhibit Jak3 are useful for indications such as leukemias and lymphomas, organ and bone marrow transplant rejection, mast cell- mediated allergic reactions and inflammatory diseases and disorders.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] It has now been found that compounds of general formula I are potent and selective inhibitors of Jak3:
[0009] In these compounds,
Q is selected from the group consisting of CX and nitrogen; X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen and an electron- withdrawing group;
Z is selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, and NR2; p is zero or one;
A is chosen from the group consisting of alkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, substituted alkyl, substituted heterocyclyl, substituted aryl, and halogen;
W is (Ci-C6)alkylene; q is zero or one; y is zero or an integer selected from 1, 2 and 3;
R2 and R3 are selected independently for each occurrence from the group consisting of hydrogen and (Ci-C6)alkyl;
R4 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, heterocyclyl, aryl, substituted alkyl, substituted heterocyclyl, substituted aryl, and C(O)NHR7; and
R7 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl and haloalkyl.
[0010] The members of this genus are useful in inhibiting Jak3 activity and as such are useful in indications where clinical immunosuppression is desired and in the treatment of hematological cancers.
[0011] In another aspect, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of general formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[0012] In another aspect, the invention relates to a method for treating a disease by altering a response mediated by Jak3 tyrosine kinase. The method comprises bringing into contact with Jak3 at least one compound of general formula I.
[0013] In yet another aspect the present invention relates to a method of suppressing the immune system in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of general formula I.
[0014] Suppression of immune system activity is desirable for preventing or treating tissue or organ rejection following transplant surgery and for preventing and treating diseases and disorders arising from aberrant activity of the immune system, in particular autoimmune disorders and diseases. Exemplary autoimmune disorders include graft versus host disease (GVHD), insulin-dependent diabetes (Type I),
Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease, pernicious anemia, Addison's disease, chronic active hepatitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, scleroderma and myasthenia gravis.
[0015] The compounds of the present invention are useful in preventing and treating diseases and disorders related to mast cell-mediated allergic reactions and inflammation.
[0016] Other indications in which the Jak3 inhibitors are useful include leukemias and lymphomas.

[0018] In a first aspect the invention relates to purines having general formula I:
[0019] The members of the genus I may be conveniently divided into two subgenera based on the values of Q. When Q is nitrogen, a subgenus of purines having an attached imidazo[5,4-c]pyridine arises. When Q is carbon, a subgenus of purines having an attached benzimidazole arises. The structures of these subgenera are shown below:

In some embodiments, y is 1 or 2 and R2 and R3 are hydrogen or methyl, and in particular, y may be one, both of R2 and R3 may be hydrogen and R4 may be selected from aryl, heteroaryl and their substituted counterparts. In other embodiments, y may be one to three, R2 and R3 may be hydrogen in all occurrences and R4 may be alkoxy.
[0021] In yet other embodiments, y is zero and R4 is a residue selected from an optionally substituted monocycle or bicycle. The R4 residue in this case contains at least one oxygen atom. More particularly, R4 may be an oxygen heterocycle, an amide, a substituted alkyl amide, a halogen-substituted oxygen heterocycle or an alkoxy- substituted cycloalkyl, such as

DEFINITIONS
[0027] For convenience and clarity certain terms employed in the specification, examples and claims are described herein.
[0028] Alkyl is intended to include linear, branched, or cyclic hydrocarbon structures and combinations thereof. Lower alkyl refers to alkyl groups of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Examples of lower alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl (both n-propyl and isopropyl), butyl (including s-and t-butyl) and the like. Preferred alkyl groups are those of C20 or below; more preferred are Ci-Cs alkyl. Cycloalkyl is a subset of alkyl and includes cyclic hydrocarbon groups of from 3 to 8 carbon atoms. Examples of cycloalkyl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, norbornyl and the like.
[0029] Ci to C20 hydrocarbon includes alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl and combinations thereof. Examples include phenethyl, cyclohexylmethyl, camphoryl and naphthylethyl.
[0030] Alkoxy or alkoxyl refers to groups of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms of a straight, branched, cyclic configuration and combinations thereof attached to the parent structure through an oxygen. Examples include methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, cyclopropyloxy, cyclohexyloxy and the like. Lower-alkoxy refers to groups containing one to four carbons.
[0031] Heteroalkyl refers to alkyl residues in which one or more carbons (and their associated hydrogens) have been replaced by a heteroatom. For example, oxaalkyl refers to alkyl residues in which one or more carbons (and their associated hydrogens) have been replaced by oxygen. Examples include methoxypropoxy, 3,6,9-trioxadecyl and the like. The term oxaalkyl is intended as it is understood in the art [see Naming and Indexing of Chemical Substances for Chemical Abstracts, published by the American Chemical Society, 1196, but without the restriction of U127(a)], i.e. it refers to compounds in which the oxygen is bonded via a single bond to its adjacent atoms (forming ether bonds); it does not refer to doubly bonded oxygen, as would be found in carbonyl groups. Similarly, thiaalkyl and azaalkyl refer to alkyl residues in which one or more carbons have been replaced by sulfur or nitrogen, respectively. Examples include ethylaminoethyl and methylthiopropyl.
[0032] Acyl refers to groups of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms of a straight, branched, cyclic configuration, saturated, unsaturated and aromatic and combinations thereof, attached to the parent structure through a carbonyl functionality. One or more carbons in the acyl residue may be replaced by nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur as long as the point of attachment to the parent remains at the carbonyl. Examples include acetyl, benzoyl, propionyl, isobutyryl, t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl and the like. Lower-acyl refers to groups containing one to four carbons.
[0033] Aryl and heteroaryl mean a 5- or 6-membered aromatic or heteroaromatic ring containing 0-3 heteroatoms selected from O, N, or S; a bicyclic 9- or 10-membered aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system containing 0-3 heteroatoms selected from O, N, or S; or a tricyclic 13- or 14-membered aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system containing 0-3 heteroatoms selected from O, N, or S. The aromatic 6- to 14-membered carbocyclic rings include, e.g., benzene and naphthalene, and for the purposes of the present invention, fused moieties such as tetrahydronaphthalene (tetralin), indane and fluorene, in which one or more rings are aromatic, but not all need be. The 5- to 10- membered aromatic heterocyclic rings include, e.g., imidazole, pyridine, indole,
indoline, thiophene, benzopyranone, thiazole, furan, benzimidazole, benzodioxole, quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, pyrimidine, pyrazine, tetrazole and pyrazole. [0034] Arylalkyl refers to a substituent in which an aryl residue is attached to the parent structure through alkyl. Examples are benzyl, phenethyl and the like. Heteroarylalkyl refers to a substituent in which a heteroaryl residue is attached to the parent structure through alkyl. Examples include, e.g., pyridinylmethyl, pyrimidinylethyl and the like.
[0035] Heterocycle means a cycloalkyl or aryl residue in which from one to three carbons is replaced by a heteroatom selected from the group consisting of N, O and S. The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms may optionally be oxidized, and the nitrogen heteroatom may optionally be quaternized. Examples of heterocycles include pyrrolidine, pyrazole, pyrrole, indole, quinoline, isoquinoline, tetrahydroisoquinoline, benzofuran, benzodioxan, benzodioxole (commonly referred to as methylenedioxyphenyl, when occurring as a substituent), tetrazole, morpholine, thiazole, pyridine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, thiophene, furan, oxazole, oxazoline, isoxazole, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and the like. It is to be noted that heteroaryl is a subset of heterocycle in which the heterocycle is aromatic. Examples of heterocyclyl residues additionally include piperazinyl, 2-oxopiperazinyl, 2-oxopiperidinyl, 2-oxo- pyrrolidinyl, 2-oxoazepinyl, azepinyl, 4-piperidinyl, pyrazolidinyl, imidazolyl, imidazolinyl, imidazolidinyl, pyrazinyl, oxazolidinyl, isoxazolidinyl, thiazolidinyl, isothiazolyl, quinuclidinyl, isothiazolidinyl, benzimidazolyl, thiadiazolyl, benzopyranyl, benzothiazolyl, tetrahydrofuryl, tetrahydropyranyl, thienyl, benzothienyl, thiamorpholinyl, thiamorpholinylsulfoxide, thiamoφholinylsulfone, oxadiazolyl, triazolyl and tetrahydroquinolinyl. A nitrogenous heterocycle is a heterocycle containing at least one nitrogen in the ring; it may contain additional nitrogens, as well as other heteroatoms.
[0036] The term "carbocycle" is intended to include ring systems, including polycyclic structures, consisting entirely of carbon but of any oxidation state. Thus (C3-C10) carbocycle refers to such systems as cyclopropane, benzene and cyclohexene; (Cs-Ci2) carbopolycycle refers to such systems as norbornane, decalin, indane and naphthalene. [0037] The terms "monocycle" and "bicycle" or "monocyclic" and "bicyclic" refer to carbocycles and heterocycles having one or two rings respectively. Preferred monocycles are 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7-membered rings, which may be aromatic, saturated or
partially unsaturated. Non-limiting examples include cyclopropane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, pyran, furan, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, oxepane and phenyl. Preferred bicycles are those having from 8 to 12 ring atoms in total. Non-limiting examples include chroman, tetralin, naphthalene, benzofuran, indole, octahydropentalene and tetrahydrobenzo[b]oxepine. A particular embodiment comprises fused 5:6 and 6:6 systems.
[0038] Substituted alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl etc. refer to alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, or heterocyclyl wherein up to three H atoms in each residue are replaced with halogen, haloalkyl, hydroxy, loweralkoxy, hydroxyloweralkyl, carboxy, carboalkoxy (also referred to as alkoxycarbonyl), carboxamido (also referred to as alkylaminocarbonyl), cyano, carbonyl, nitro, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, mercapto, alkylthio, sulfoxide, sulfone, acylamino, amidino, phenyl, benzyl, heteroaryl, phenoxy, benzenesulfonyl, benzyloxy, or heteroaryloxy. When the parent is a heterocycle that allows such substitution, the term also includes oxides, for example pyridine-N-oxide, thiopyran sulfoxide and thiopyran-S,S-dioxide. As mentioned above, two hydrogens on a single carbon may be replaced by a carbonyl to form an oxo derivative. Noteworthy oxo-substituted aryl residues include tetralone (3,4- dihydronaphthalen-l(2H)-one) and indanone (2,3-dihydroinden-l-one). [0039] The terms "halogen" and "halo" refer to fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. [0040] The terms "electron-withdrawing group" or "electron-withdrawing residue" refer to substituents which have a Ηammett σmeta greater than 0.2. Examples of such substituents include cyanide, trifluoromethoxy, trifluoromethyl, chlorine and fluorine. [0041] Some of the compounds described herein may contain one or more asymmetric centers and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-. The present invention is meant to include all such possible isomers, as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (R)- and (S)- isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. The configuration of any carbon- carbon double bond appearing herein is selected for convenience only and is not
intended to designate a particular configuration; thus a carbon-carbon double bond depicted arbitrarily herein as trans may be Z, E or a mixture of the two in any proportion.
[0042] The graphic representations of racemic, ambiscalemic and scalemic or enantiomerically pure compounds used herein are taken from Maehr J. Chem. Ed. 62, 114-120 (1985): solid and broken wedges are used to denote the absolute configuration of a chiral element; wavy lines indicate disavowal of any stereochemical implication which the bond it represents could generate; solid and broken bold lines are geometric descriptors indicating the relative configuration shown but denoting racemic character; and wedge outlines and dotted or broken lines denote enantiomerically pure compounds of indeterminate absolute configuration. For example, the graphic representation OCH
indicates either, or both, of the two trans enantiomers
[0043] It will be recognized that the compounds of this invention can exist in radiolabeled form, i.e., the compounds may contain an unnatural ratio of one or more atoms containing an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Radioisotopes of hydrogen, carbon, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine and iodine include 3H, 14C, 35S, 18F, 36Cl and 125I, respectively. Compounds that contain those radioisotopes and/or other radioisotopes of other atoms are within the scope of this invention. Tritiated, i.e. 3H, and carbon- 14, i.e., 14C,
radioisotopes are particularly preferred for their ease in preparation and detectability. Radiolabeled compounds of this invention can generally be prepared by methods well known to those skilled in the art. Conveniently, such radiolabeled compounds can be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the Examples by substituting a readily available radiolabeled reagent for a non-radiolabeled reagent. Because of the high affinity for the JAK3 enzyme active site, radiolabeled compounds of the invention are useful for JAK3 assays.
[0044] An oxygenous heterocycle is a heterocycle containing at least one oxygen in the ring; it may contain additional oxygens, as well as other heteroatoms. Exemplary oxygenous heterocycles include tetrahydropyran, chroman and their variously substituted derivatives, such as:
Chemical Synthesis
[0045] Terminology related to "protecting", "deprotecting" and "protected" functionalities occurs throughout this application. Such terminology is well understood by persons of skill in the art and is used in the context of processes that involve sequential treatment with a series of reagents. In that context, a protecting group refers to a group which is used to mask a functionality during a process step in which it would otherwise react, but in which reaction is undesirable. The protecting group prevents reaction at that step, but may be subsequently removed to expose the original
functionality. The removal or "deprotection" occurs after the completion of the reaction or reactions in which the functionality would interfere. Thus, when a sequence of reagents is specified, as it is in the processes of the invention, the person of ordinary skill can readily envision those groups that would be suitable as "protecting groups". Suitable groups for that purpose are discussed in standard textbooks in the field of chemistry, such as Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis by T. W. Greene [John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991], which is incorporated herein by reference. [0046] A comprehensive list of abbreviations utilized by organic chemists appears in the first issue of each volume of the Journal of Organic Chemistry. The list, which is typically presented in a table entitled "Standard List of Abbreviations", is incorporated herein by reference.
[0047] In general, the compounds of the present invention may be prepared by the methods illustrated in the general reaction schemes as, for example, described below, or by modifications thereof, using readily available starting materials, reagents and conventional synthesis procedures. In these reactions, it is also possible to make use of variants that are in themselves known, but are not mentioned here. The starting materials, for example in the case of suitably substituted benzimidazole ring compounds, are either commercially available, synthesized as described in the examples or may be obtained by the methods well known to persons of skill in the art. [0048] The present invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising as active agents, the compounds described herein.
[0049] As used herein a "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a preparation of one or more of the compounds described herein, or physiologically acceptable salts or solvates thereof, with other chemical components such as physiologically suitable carriers and excipients.
[0050] Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present invention thus may be formulated in conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries, which facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations which, can be used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. [0051] Compounds that inhibit Jak-3 can be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions and administered to a mammalian subject, such as a human patient in a variety of forms adapted to the chosen route of administration, i.e., orally or
parenterally, by intravenous, intramuscular, topical, transdermal or subcutaneous routes.
[0052] For oral administration, the compounds can be formulated readily by combining the active compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art. Such carriers enable the compounds of the invention to be formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions, and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient. Pharmacological preparations for oral use can be made using a solid excipient, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients are, in particular, fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; cellulose preparations such as, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium carbomethylcellulose; and/or physiologically acceptable polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents may be added, such as cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar or alginic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium alginate.
[0053] In addition, enteric coating may be useful as it is may be desirable to prevent exposure of the compounds of the invention to the gastric environment. [0054] Pharmaceutical compositions, which can be used orally, include push-fit capsules made of gelatin as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules may contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. [0055] In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers may be added. All formulations for oral administration should be in dosages suitable for the chosen route of administration.
[0056] For injection, the compounds of the invention may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hank's or Ringer's solution or physiological saline buffer. For transmucosal and transdermal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated may be used in the composition. Such penetrants, including for example DMSO or polyethylene glycol, are known in the art.
[0057] For administration by inhalation, the compounds for use according to the present invention are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from a pressurized pack or a nebulizer with the use of a suitable propellant, e. g., dichlorodifiuoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichloro- tetrafluoro ethane or carbon dioxide. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of, e.g., gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.
[0058] Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active ingredients in water-soluble form. Additionally, suspensions of the active compounds may be prepared as appropriate oily injection suspensions. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acids esters such as ethyl oleate, triglycerides or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances, which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents, which increase the solubility of the compounds, to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.
[0059] The compounds of the present invention may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, using, e.g., conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
[0060] Depending on the severity and responsiveness of the condition to be treated, dosing can also be a single administration of a slow release composition, with course of treatment lasting from several days to several weeks or until cure is effected or diminution of the disease state is achieved. The amount of a composition to be administered will, of course, be dependent on many factors including the subject being treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner of administration, the judgment of the prescribing physician. The compounds of the invention may be administered orally or via injection at a dose from 0.001 to 2500 mg/kg per day. The dose range for adult humans is generally from 0.005 mg to 10 g/day. Tablets or other forms of presentation provided in discrete units may conveniently contain an amount of compound of the invention which is effective at such dosage or as a multiple of the same, for instance,
units containing 5 mg to 500 mg, usually around 10 mg to 200 mg. The precise amount of compound administered to a patient will be the responsibility of the attendant physician. However, the dose employed will depend on a number of factors, including the age and sex of the patient, the precise disorder being treated, and its severity. Also, the route of administration may vary depending on the condition and its severity. [0061] As used herein, and as would be understood by the person of skill in the art, the recitation of "a compound" is intended to include salts, solvates and inclusion complexes of that compound. The term "solvate" refers to a compound of Formula I or II in the solid state, wherein molecules of a suitable solvent are incorporated in the crystal lattice. A suitable solvent for therapeutic administration is physiologically tolerable at the dosage administered. Examples of suitable solvents for therapeutic administration are ethanol and water. When water is the solvent, the solvate is referred to as a hydrate. In general, solvates are formed by dissolving the compound in the appropriate solvent and isolating the solvate by cooling or using an antisolvent. The solvate is typically dried or azeotroped under ambient conditions. Inclusion complexes are described in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy 19th Ed. (1995) volume 1, page 176-177, which is incorporated herein by reference. The most commonly employed inclusion complexes are those with cyclodextrins, and all cyclodextrin complexes, natural and synthetic, are specifically encompassed within the claims.
[0062] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids or bases including inorganic acids and bases and organic acids and bases. When the compounds of the present invention are basic, salts may be prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids including inorganic and organic acids. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts for the compounds of the present invention include acetic, benzenesulfonic (besylate), benzoic, camphorsulfonic, citric, ethenesulfonic, fumaric, gluconic, glutamic, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, isethionic, lactic, maleic, malic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, mucic, nitric, pamoic, pantothenic, phosphoric, succinic, sulfuric, tartaric acid, p-toluenesulfonic, and the like. When the compounds contain an acidic side chain, suitable pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts for the compounds of the present invention include metallic salts made from aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc or organic salts made from
lysine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine (N-methylglucamine) and procaine. [0063] The term "preventing" as used herein refers to administering a medicament beforehand to forestall or obtund an attack. The person of ordinary skill in the medical art (to which the present method claims are directed) recognizes that the term "prevent" is not an absolute term. In the medical art it is understood to refer to the prophylactic administration of a drug to substantially diminish the likelihood or seriousness of a condition, and this is the sense intended herein.
[0064] It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations of this invention may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents. [0065] The compositions may be presented in a packaging device or dispenser, which may contain one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. Examples of a packaging device include metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack and a nebulizer for inhalation. The packaging device or dispenser may be accompanied by instructions for administration. Compositions comprising a compound of the present invention formulated in a compatible pharmaceutical carrier may also be placed in an appropriate container and labeled for treatment of an indicated condition.
Indications
[0066] The compounds of the present invention are useful in inhibiting the activity if Jak3 or in inhibiting Jak3 mediated activity and are useful as immunosuppressive agents for tissue and organ transplants, including bone marrow transplant and in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and of complications arising therefrom.
[0067] Hyperacute, acute and chronic organ transplant rejection may be treated. Hyperacute rejection occurs within minutes of transplantation. Acute rejection generally occurs within six to twelve months of the transplant. Hyperacute and acute rejections are typically reversible where treated with immunosuppressant agents. Chronic rejection, characterized by gradual loss of organ function, is an ongoing concern for transplant recipients because it can occur anytime after transplantation.
[0068] There are about 75 different autoimmune disorders known that may be classified into two types, organ-specific (directed mainly at one organ) and non-organ- specific (affecting multiple organs).
[0069] Examples of organ-specific autoimmune disorders are insulin-dependent diabetes (Type I) which affects the pancreas; Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease which affect the thyroid gland; pernicious anemia which affects the stomach; Cushing's disease and Addison's disease which affect the adrenal glands; chronic active hepatitis which affects the liver; polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), celiac disease, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and ankylosing spondylitis. [0070] Examples of non-organ-specific autoimmune disorders are rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus and myasthenia gravis.
[0071] Type I diabetes ensues from the selective aggression of autoreactive T-cells against insulin secreting β cells of the islets of Langerhans. Targeting Jak3 in this disease is based on the observation that multiple cytokines that signal through the Jak pathway are known to participate in the T-cell mediated autoimmune destruction of β cells. Indeed, a Jak3 inhibitor, JANEX-I was shown to prevent spontaneous autoimmune diabetes development in the NOD mouse model of type I diabetes. [0072] Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a donor T-cell initiated pathological condition that frequently follows allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Substantial experimental and clinical research have demonstrated that donor T-cells are the principal mediators and effectors of GVHD. Jak3 plays a key role in the induction of GVHD and treatment with a Jak3 inhibitor, JANEX-I, was shown to attenuate the severity of GVHD (reviewed in Cetkovic-Cvrlje and Ucken, 2004). [0073] Mast cells express Jak3 and Jak3 is a key regulator of the IgE mediated mast cell responses including the release of inflammatory mediators. Jak3 was shown to be a valid target in the treatment of mast cell mediated allergic reaction. [0074] Allergic disorders associated with mast cell activation include Type I immediate hypersensitivity reactions such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever), allergic urticaria (hives), angioedema, allergic asthma and anaphylaxis, i.e., "anaphylatic shock." These disorders are treated or prevented by inhibition of Jak3 activity, for example, by administration of a Jak3 inhibitor according to the present invention.
[0075] According to the present invention, the Jak3 inhibitors may be administered prophylactically, i.e., prior to onset of acute allergic reaction, or they may be administered after onset of the reaction, or at both times.
[0076] Inflammation of tissues and organs occurs in a wide range of disorders and diseases and in certain variations results from activation of the cytokine family of receptors. Exemplary inflammatory disorders associated with activation of Jak3 include, in a non-limiting manner, skin inflammation due to radiation exposure, asthma, allergic inflammation and chronic inflammation.
[0077] The Jak3 inhibitors of the present invention are also useful in treating certain malignancies, including skin cancer and hematological malignancy such as lymphomas and leukemias.

Synthesis and resolution of 8 -fluorochroman-4-amine:
[0081] 3-(2-Fluorophenoxy)propanoic acid. A mixture of 2-fluorophenol (15 g), 3-bromopropanoic acid (20 g) and NaOH (11 g) was refluxed in 5OmL of water. The solution was cooled to room temperature and acidified to pH 2 with 3 M HCl. The resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration to yield 9.27 g of title compound as a white solid. The filtrate was extracted 3 times with EtOAc to yield 2.5g of less pure compound.
[0082] 8-Fluorochroman-4-one. Oxalyl chloride (8.79 mL) and 1 drop of DMF were added to an ice cold solution of 3-(2-fluorophenoxy)propanoic acid (9.27 g) in DCM (50 mL). The solution was stirred at 0 °C for 2 hours, then aluminum chloride
(7.39g, 55.42mM) was added and the solution was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. The mixture was poured onto ice water, and extracted three times with DCM. The combined organics were washed with 0.5M NaOH and brine, then dried, evaporated, and purified by column chromatography (eluting with 20% EtO Ac/Hex) to give of the title compound (8.2Og, 98%).
[0083] 8-Fluorochroman-4-amine. A round bottom flask was charged with 8- fluorochroman-4-one (8.2g), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (3.78g) and sodium acetate (4.46g). A reflux condenser was added, the flask was purged with argon, dry EtOH (20 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at reflux for 18 hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc, and washed with water. The organic phase was dried, and evaporated to give the intermediate 8-fluorochroman-4-one oxime, which was reduced with Raney Nickel in EtOH at 50 PSI to yield the titled amine (4.69g, 57%).
[0084] Resolution of 8-fluorochroman-4-amine: (Procedure based on US published application 2004/0157739).
[0085] A mixture of 8-fluorochroman-4-amine (3.40 g), methyl 2-methoxyacetate (2.44 g) and Novozyme 435 (Aldrich, 0.68 g) in anhydrous tert-butyl methyl ether (75mL) was heated at reflux under argon for 2 hours (at which time the ratio of acylated to unacylated product was 1 : 1 by HPLC). The solid that formed upon cooling was collected via filtration and dissolved in EtOAc. The mixture was filtered to remove the biocatalyst and washed once with 0.5M HCl to remove any lingering (S)-amine. The solvent was evaporated and the product was recrystallized from tert-butyl methyl ether to yield (R)-N-(8-fluorochroman-4-yl)-2-methoxyacetamide (0.78 g). The reaction
solvent and recrystallization mother liquor was washed 3 times with 0.5 M HCl and concentrated to yield additional (R)-N-(8-fluorochroman-4-yl)-2-methoxyacetamide (0.83 g).

Jak3 kinase assay
[00182] Human Jak3 cDNA was amplified by PCR. A fragment encoding the catalytic domain of Jak3 (508aa to 1124aa) was ligated with GST at 5' end. This fused GST- Jak3 DNA fragment was cloned into the EcoRI site of the donor plasmid pFastBac 1 (Life Technologies #10359-016). The transformation, transposition, and transfection of insect cells (Sf9) were performed according to the manufacture's instructions. The cell lysate containing recombinant GST- Jak3 was used in the kinase assay. Anti-GST antibody (10 μg/ml, Sigma #G1417) was coated onto a 384-well plate at 4 °C overnight. Cell lysate containing GST- Jak3 (1 : 100 dilution) was added to the anti-GST coated plates, and GST-Jak3 was captured by immobilized anti-GST antibody. Testing compounds and substrate mix (50 mM HEPES, pH 7, 0.5 mM Na3VO4, 25 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.005% BSA, 1 μM ATP, and 4.5 μg/ml biotinyl poly-Glu,Ala,Tyr) were added to the plate to initiate the reaction. After a 60-min incubation, the reaction was stopped by 4 mM EDTA, and phosphorylation of biotinyl poly-Glu,Ala,Tyr was detected using 17 μg/ml Cy5-streptavidin (Amersham, #PA92005) and 2.7 μg/ml Europium-conjugated anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (PerkinElmer #AD0069) using homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) technology.
Jak3 cellular assay
[00183] The mouse F7 pre-B lymphocyte cell line was used for the cellular Jak3 assay. Human IL-2Rβc cDNA is stably expressed in F7 cells (Kawahara et al., 1995). F7 cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum plus IL-3. Cells (30,000 cells/well) in serum-free medium were seeded in 96- well plates for the cell proliferation assay. Testing compounds were added to cells, followed by the addition of IL-2 (final 20 ng/ml). After a 24-h incubation, the number of viable cells was determined by the CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay kit (Promega, #G7573) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
IL-2-induced IFN-γ production in the mouse
[00184] Administration of IL-2 leads to an increase in serum IFN-γ in the mouse due to NK secretion of the cytokine (Thornton S, Kuhn KA, Finkelman FD and Hirsch R. NK cells secrete high levels of IFN-γ in response to in vivo administration of IL-2.
Eur J Immunol 2001 31 :3355-3360). The experiment is carried out essentially according to the protocol in Thornton et al. and the test compounds are administered in order to determine the level of inhibition attained. In summary, female BALB/c mice are fasted for 12-18 hours before a study but have free access to water at all times. Test compounds are administered by gavage one hour before intraperitoneal injection of IL- 2 and capture antibody. At termination of the studies, the mice are sacrificed by carbon dioxide inhalation, terminal blood samples are collected by cardiac puncture and serum is generated. Serum is stored frozen until assayed for IFN-γ, as described by the kit manufacturer (BD Pharmingen™, San Diego, CA). Using this method Examples 13 and 6 were shown to inhibit IFN-γ production by 76 and 93% respectively on oral dose at 30 mg/kg.
