Benefits of technology

"The present disclosure describes new compounds that can be used as drugs to treat various diseases and disorders such as immunosuppression, inflammatory disorders, allergic disorders, and autoimmune disorders. These compounds have been found to inhibit the activity of CRAC ion channels and produce low levels of off-target effects. They also have a favorable toxicity profile and can be orally bioavailable. The compounds described herein are particularly advantageous in that they can treat diseases that currently have no effective drugs available."

Problems solved by technology

However, while transient inflammation is necessary to protect a mammal from infection, uncontrolled inflammation causes tissue damage and is the underlying cause of many illnesses.
IL-2, although useful in the immune response, can cause a variety of problems.
This renders them potentially inert to any antigenic stimulation they might receive in the future.
Despite this proof of concept, agents that inhibit IL-2 production remain far from ideal.
Among other problems, efficacy limitations and unwanted side effects (including dose-dependant nephrotoxicity and hypertension) hinder their use.

Synthesis of Representative Exemplary Compounds of this Invention

[0170]General Procedure for Suzuki cross coupling: To a solution of [N-(3-bromo-4-methylphenyl)pyridin-2-amine] (95 mg, 0.36 mmol), dichloro-bis (triphenylphosphine)-palladium (II) (Pd(PPh3)2Cl2, 60 mg, 0.09 mmol), and 2,6-difluoro-N-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)benzamide (195 mg, 0.54 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) were added Na2CO3 (2 N, 1.0 mL) and ethanol (1.0 mL). The stirred mixture was heated at 80° C. for 16 hr. The solution was cooled to room temperature and diluted with H2O (10 mL) and EtOAc (10 mL). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, concentrated, and chromatographed to give the pure product in 61% yield.

2,6-Difluoro-N-(5-(5-methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)thiazol-4-yl)pyridin-2-yl)benzamide

[0171]

[0172]To the solution of 1 (1 g, 6.57 mmol) in DCM (50 mL) were added 2,6-difluorobenzoyl chloride (1.73 mL, 13.8 mmol) and pyridine (3.56 mL, 12.5 mmol) at room temperature. After stirring for 60 m...

Inhibition of IL-2 Production

[0214]Jurkat cells were placed in a 96 well plate (0.5 million cells per well in 1% FBS medium), and then a test compound of this invention was added at different concentrations. After 10 minutes, the cells were activated with PHA (final concentration 2.5 μg / mL) and incubated for 20 hours at 37° C. under 5% CO2. The final volume was 200 μL. Following incubation, the cells were centrifuged, and the supernatants collected and stored at −70° C. prior to assaying for IL-2 production. A commercial ELISA kit (IL-2 Eli-pair, Diaclone Research, Besancon, France) was used to detect production of IL-2, from which dose response curves were obtained. The IC50 value was calculated as the concentration at which 50% of maximum IL-2 production after stimulation was inhibited versus a non-stimulation control.

[0215]Inhibition of other cytokines, such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, GM-CSF, TNFα, and IFN-γ, can be tested in a similar manner using a commercially available ELISA kit f...

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 194,831, filed Oct. 1, 2008, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to biologically active chemical compounds that may be used for immunosuppression or to treat or prevent inflammatory conditions and immune disorders.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Inflammation is a mechanism that protects mammals from invading pathogens. However, while transient inflammation is necessary to protect a mammal from infection, uncontrolled inflammation causes tissue damage and is the underlying cause of many illnesses. Inflammation is typically initiated by binding of an antigen to T-cell antigen receptor. Antigen binding by a T-cell initiates calcium influx into the cell via calcium ion channels, such as Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+ channels (CRAC). Calcium ion influx in turn initiates a signaling cascade that leads to activ...
