Description

[0001] Cross Reference to Related Applications This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 496,836, filed April 18, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present invention relates to novel substituted bicyclic derivatives that can selectively inhibit ROCK2 and / or Rho kinase-mediated phosphorylation of myosin light chain phosphate, processes for their production, formulations thereof and their use for the manufacture of medicaments, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts, diastereomers, enantiomers, racemates. BACKGROUND

[0003] Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinases (ROCK / Rho kinases / Rho-associated kinases) are downstream effectors of the small GTPases Rho (RhoA, RhoB, RhoC and RhoE) and belong to the serine / threonine kinase family. The active GTP-bound form of Rho mediates several biological functions, including smooth muscle contraction, cell motility and cytokinesis, through the action of ROCK. The ROCK proteins were identified in 1996 as proteins that bind to Rho GTPases. Two proteins were independently isolated as pl60 and pl64. Later, these proteins were identified as ROCK-1 and ROCK-2, respectively, and are isoforms of Rho-associated kinases. The two isoforms, ROCK-1 (ROCK-b / pl60) and ROCK-2 (ROCK-a / pl64), share 92% similarity in their amino acid sequences. Their structure contains a catalytic kinase domain at the N-terminus, followed by a region containing coiled-coils (600 amino acids), and at the C-terminus, a Rho-binding domain and a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. They have different localizations and distinct physiological roles have been identified for each. The ROCK-1 transcript (gene on chromosome 18) is ubiquitous, with more prominent expression in the liver, kidney, spleen, testis, thymus and blood cells, while the ROCK-2 mRNA (chromosome 2) has more abundant expression in skeletal muscle and brain, suggesting specialized roles for them in these locations.

[0004] ROCK inhibitors have been considered for a variety of diseases such as cerebral ischemia, hypertension, erectile dysfunction, glaucoma, osteoporosis, cardiac hypertrophy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, retinopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and atherosclerosis. However, their implementation has been limited due to lack of knowledge about the involvement of specific ROCK isoforms. Whether isoform-specific targeting or combination of ROCK inhibition would provide better therapeutic outcome remains to be verified. Although they are not completely specific for ROCK isoforms and other serine / threonine kinases (e.g. PRK2, PKC, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and citron kinase), some non-specific ROCK2 inhibitors have shown promising results in certain pathological conditions (e.g. glaucoma and hypertension). However, further work is needed for isoform-selective ROCK2 inhibitors to be used in the clinic, but some research-based studies have helped to a great extent in resolving the ambiguity of ROCK-1 and ROCK-2 specific functions. Since ROCK plays a critical role in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton, it is foreseeable that complete inhibition of both isoforms can cause adverse events in patients. Therefore, selective ROCK2 inhibition can have a greater therapeutic index of specificity than dual inhibition of ROCK1 and ROCK2. Thus, understanding the individual functions of each isoform in a particular disorder can help to improve safety and specificity and expand the therapeutic applications of ROCK inhibitors. SUMMARY

The heterocycloalkyl group can have a total of 3-10, or 3-8, or 5-8 atoms in the ring system, unless otherwise indicated. The heterocycloalkyl group can have one or more carbon-carbon double bonds or carbon-heteroatom double bonds in the ring group, as long as the ring group does not become aromatic as a result of their presence.

Heteroaryl groups have 4 to 14 atoms in the heteroaromatic ring, 1 to 9 of the atoms being independently selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. Heteroaryl groups have 1-3 heteroatoms in 5-8 membered aromatic groups. The aryl or heteroaryl group can be a monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic group.

Substituents of aromatic groups are typically covalently bonded to a ring carbon atom. The term "substituted" means that a hydrogen atom in a molecule is replaced with a substituent group, such that the valency of the designated atom is not exceeded, and such that a chemically stable compound results from the substitution (i.e., a compound that can be isolated, characterized, and tested for biological activity).

[0083] Examples The present application is further illustrated by the following examples, which illustrate the preparation of the compounds of Figure 1 according to the present application. The examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended, nor should they be interpreted to, limit the application in any way. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that variations and modifications can be made without changing the scope of the application.

[0084] The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) spectra of the compounds obtained in the following examples and the compounds described herein are consistent with the NMR and MS spectra of the compounds of the formulae described herein.

[0085] Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method: 1. The samples were run on an Agilent Technologies 6120 MSD system with a Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C18 (3.5 ) reversed-phase column (4.6 x 50 mm) run at room temperature with a flow rate of 1.5 mL / min.

[0086] 2. The mobile phase used solvent A (water / 0.1% formic acid) and solvent B (acetonitrile / 0.1% formic acid): 95% / 5% to 0% / 100% (A / B) for 5 minutes.

[0087] 3. Mass spectra (m / z) were recorded using electrospray ionization (ESI).

[0088] 4. Ionization data was rounded to the nearest whole number.

[0089] Proton NMR spectra: Unless otherwise indicated, all 1 H NMR spectra were run on a Varian Series Mercury 400 or 500 MHz. The conventional abbreviations used for designating multiplet peaks are used: e.g., s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), m (multiplet), and br s (broad singlet), all observed protons are reported as parts per million (ppm) from the low field of tetramethylsilane.

[0090] Example 1: Preparation of Compounds Compound 1-1: (6-chlorochroman-3-yl)-[1-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-6-(3-methoxy-1H- pyrazol-4-yl)pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-3-yl]methanone (Step 5a) Step 1: A mixture of 6-chlorochroman-3-carboxylic acid (6.0 g, 28.2 mmol), thionyl chloride (21.0 mL, 282.2 mmol), and DMF (0.1 mL, catalyst) in toluene (60 mL) was heated to reflux with stirring for 3 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated to remove the volatile organic solvent. The crude product was dissolved in acetonitrile (100 mL) and concentrated to provide 1a as a light brown oil. 1a was used in the next step without further purification.

[0091] Step 2: A mixture of 1a (5.4 g, 23 mmol) and 6-bromo-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine (3.7 g, 19 mmol) in dichloromethane (60 mL) was cooled in an ice bath and aluminum chloride (9.4 g, 70 mmol) was added. After stirring at 0 °C for 1 h, the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl (100 mL) at 0 °C to form a solid precipitate. The mixture was then warmed to room temperature and stirred for an additional 2 h. The solid was collected by filtration and then rinsed with methanol. The resulting solid was dried under high vacuum to provide 1b as a white solid in 80% yield (7.4 g). LC / MS found 391.0 and 393.0 [M+H] + .

[0092] Step 3: A mixture of 1b (800 mg, 2.1 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.76 g, 1.3 mmol, 770 μL), and 2-chloro-N,N-dimethylethanamine hydrochloride (690 mg, 6.4 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was heated to 70 °C for 16 h. The mixture was poured into water (100 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (100 mL). The organic layer was separated, washed with brine (100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated.
