1H-PYRAZOLO[3,4-D]PYRIMIDIN-4-AMINES AS ANTI-INFECTIOUS AGENTS CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 504,716, filed May 26, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 562,667, filed on March 7, 2024, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH

[0002] This invention was made with government support under grant no. AI141184 awarded by the National Institutes of Health. The government has certain rights in the invention. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0003] The apicomplexan parasites Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis are major etiologic agents of cryptosporidiosis in humans. Infection is typically self- limited in immunocompetent adults, but it can lead to chronic and fulminant disease in immunocompromised patients, as well as malnutrition and stunting in children. Nitazoxanide is the current standard of care for cryptosporidiosis, but the drug only exhibits partial efficacy in children and is no more effective than placebo in AIDS patients. Unfortunately, the development of novel therapeutics for cryptosporidiosis has proven to be extremely difficult as a result of the financial obstacles that plague drug discovery for diseases that disproportionately affect the developing world, as well as technical limitations associated with the laboratory study of Cryptosporidium parasites.

[0004] While cryptosporidiosis is a significant cause of self-limited diarrhea in immunocompetent individuals who may be exposed to parasites through contaminated municipal and recreational water supplies or through occupational exposures, the burden of cryptosporidiosis is even more substantial in immunocompromised and pediatric populations. Immunodeficient individuals, including patients maintained on immunosuppressive regimens following organ transplantation and AIDS patients, in particular, risk developing chronic, fulminant, and sometimes fatal disease (especially when CD-4+T-cell counts drop below 50 cells / mm3). Diarrhea is also a leading cause of death in children under 5 years of age, and the recent Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS) identified Cryptosporidium as a major cause of life-threatening diarrhea during the first two years of life. Moreover,cryptosporidiosis has been associated with malnutrition and persistent deficits in development in this population. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0019] Although claimed subject matter will be described in terms of certain examples, other examples, including examples that do not provide all of the benefits and features set forth herein, are also within the scope of this disclosure. Various structural, logical, process step, and electronic changes may be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure.

[0020] As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, “about”, “substantially”, or “the like”, when used in connection with a measurable variable (such as, for example, a parameter, an amount, a temporal duration, or the like) or a list of alternatives, is meant to encompass variations of and from the specified value including, but not limited to, those within experimental error (which can be determined by, e.g., a given data set, an art accepted standard, etc. and / or with, e.g., a given confidence interval (e.g.90%, 95%, or more confidence interval from the mean), such as, for example, variations of + / -10% or less, + / -5% or less, + / -1% or less, and + / -0.1% or less of and from the specified value), insofar such variations in a variable and / or variations in the alternatives are appropriate to perform in the instant disclosure. As used herein, the term “about” may mean that the amount or value in question is the exact value or a value that provides equivalent results or effects as recited in the claims or taught herein. That is, it is understood that amounts, sizes, compositions, parameters, and other quantities and characteristics are not and need not be exact, but may be approximate and / or larger or smaller, as desired, reflecting tolerances, conversion factors, rounding off, measurement error, or the like, or other factors known to those of skill in the art such that equivalent results or effects are obtained. In general, an amount, size, composition, parameter, or other quantity or characteristic, or alternative is “about” or “the like,” whether or not expressly stated to be such. It is understood that where “about,” is used before aquantitative value, the parameter also includes the specific quantitative value itself, unless specifically stated otherwise.

[0021] Ranges of values are disclosed herein. The ranges set out a lower limit value and an upper limit value. Unless otherwise stated, the ranges include the lower limit value, the upper limit value, and all values between the lower limit value and the upper limit value, including, but not limited to, all values to the magnitude of the smallest value (either the lower limit value or the upper limit value) of a range. It is to be understood that such a range format is used for convenience and brevity, and thus, should be interpreted in a flexible manner to include not only the numerical values explicitly recited as the limits of the range, but also to include all the individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub-range is explicitly recited. To illustrate, a numerical range of “0.1% to 5%” should be interpreted to include not only the explicitly recited values of 0.1% to 5%, but also, unless otherwise stated, include individual values (e.g., 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%) and the sub-ranges (e.g., 0.5% to 1.1%; 0.5% to 2.4%; 0.5% to 3.2%, and 0.5% to 4.4%, and other possible sub-ranges) within the indicated range. It is also understood (as presented above) that there are a number of values disclosed herein, and that each value is also herein disclosed as “about” that particular value in addition to the value itself. For example, if the value “10” is disclosed, then “about 10” is also disclosed. Ranges can be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and / or to “about” another particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about, it will be understood that the particular value forms a further disclosure. For example, if the value “about 10” is disclosed, then “10” is also disclosed.

[0022] The articles “a” and “an” are used in this disclosure to refer to one or more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, “an element” means one element or more than one element.

[0023] As used herein, unless otherwise stated or indicated, “s” refers to second(s), “min” refers to minute(s), and “h” refers to hour(s).

[0024] The phrase “therapeutically effective amount” is used herein to mean an amount sufficient to reduce by at least about 15 percent, preferably by at least 50 percent, more preferably by at least 90 percent, and most preferably prevents oxidative stress in the individual. Alternatively, a therapeutically effective amount is sufficient to cause an improvement in a clinically significant condition in the individual.

[0065] The composition may be for administration to an individual in need of treatment.

[0066] In various examples, a composition comprises a pH sensitive polymer.

[0067] In an embodiment the composition comprises a compound of the present disclosure encapsulated in a pH sensitive polymer suitable for release of a compound of the disclosure in the small intestines, distal small intestine, or colon.

[0068] In an embodiment, the pH sensitive polymer suitable for such a release can be a synthetic anionic polymer based on a monomer such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, propionic acid, 2-acrylmido-2-methylpropylsulfonic acid, 2-methacryloxyethylsulfonic acid, 3-methacryloxy-2-hydroxypropylsulfonic acid, ethylenesulfonic acid, styrenesulfonic acid, sulfoxyethyl methacrylate, or a combination thereof. In another embodiment, the anionic polymer can be a natural anionic polymer such as hyaluronic acid, alginic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl dextran, poly(aspartic acid), or heparin. Several commercial pH sensitive polymers are available. For example, Eudragit L, Eudragit S from Röhm Pharma GmBH (based on methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate) or CMEC from Freund Sangyo Co., Ltd; CAP from Wako Pure Chemicals Ltd.; or HP-50 and ASM from Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. (derived from cellulose) can be used.

[0069] Without intending to be bound by any particular theory, it is considered that compounds with minimal solubility to access the parasites within intestinal epithelial cells with poor metabolic stability may be desired. For example, compounds are desired to be largely retained at the site of infection within the gut rather than rapid absorption and systemic exposure in the plasma in order to maximize efficacy against the parasite while minimizing systemic off-target effects. In essence, compounds for treatment of cryptosporidiosis may break some of Lipinski’s rules for selection of drug leads. Thus, physiochemical properties and formulations of each scaffold that are optimized for treatment of cryptosporidiosis will be distinct from physiochemical properties and formulations appropriate for treatment of a systemic infection such as malaria. Drug exposure (both theability to penetrate the cell and parasitophorous vacuole, and retention at the site of infection rather than oral absorption) will be equivalent. In an example, the compounds are not significantly distributed systemically but are preferentially retained in the gastrointestinal tract. In an example, the compounds of the method are taken up by the cells of the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. In another example, systemic exposure may be necessary in certain cases. For example, in severely immunocompromised people such as those with AIDS, infection can involve the biliary tree and, rarely, even the lungs. In these circumstances, a drug or formulation that favors systemic absorption, and / or enterohepatic recirculation may be desirable.

[0070] In an embodiment, a formulation comprising a compound of the disclosure is formulated in a manner such that an extended release in the small intestines, distal small intestine, or colon is achieved. For example, pH sensitive polymers can be used as described herein.

[0071] In an aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for treating an individual diagnosed with or suspected of having a cryptosporidium infection. Compounds of the present disclosure can be used in the methods.

[0072] In an embodiment, a method for treating an individual diagnosed with or suspected of having a cryptosporidium infection comprises administering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of a compound or composition of the present disclosure.

[0073] The compounds may be used to treat a cryptosporidium infection caused by any species of Cryptosporidium. Examples of Cryptosporidium species include, Cryptosporidium parvum, Cryptosporidium andersoni, Cryptosporidium hominis, Cryptosporidium ryanae, Cryptosporidium bovis, Cryptosporidium meleagridis, Cryptosporidium baileyi, Cryptosporidium galli, Cryptosporidium felis, Cryptosporidium canis, and the like. A subject infected with any one or more of the preceding species may be treated by a method of the present disclosure.

[0074] Cryptosporidium infection is defined as detection of Cryptosporidium in the feces, by any standard means such as microscopic parasite exam, antigen detection, and polymerase chain reaction. In some instances, such individuals may be suffering from diarrhea, but may be asymptomatic where there are indications to treat for prevention of long- term sequelae (such as malnutrition and growth stunting) and for prevention of spreading infection to others. In areas where Cryptosporidium infection are highly endemic, treatment for cryptosporidiosis may be provided (alone or in combination with treatment for other enteric infections) for suspected infection without microbiologic confirmation.

[0075] The individual to be treated by the method of the disclosure may be human or non-human (e.g., mammal). Non-human animals include ungulates such as bovines. Additional on-limiting examples of non-human mammals include pigs, mice, rats, rabbits, cats, dogs, or other agricultural mammals, pet, or service animals, and the like.

[0076] Compositions comprising a compound of the disclosure and a pharmaceutical agent can be prepared at a patient’s bedside, or by a pharmaceutical manufacture. In the latter case, the compositions can be provided in any suitable container, such as a sealed sterile vial or ampoule, and may be further packaged to include instruction documents for use by a pharmacist, physician, or other health care provider. The compositions can be provided as a liquid, or as a lyophilized or powder form that can be reconstituted, if necessary, when ready for use. In particular, the compositions can be provided in combination with any suitable delivery form or vehicle, examples of which include, for example, liquids, caplets, capsules, tablets, inhalants, or aerosol, etc. The delivery devices may comprise components that facilitate release of the pharmaceutical agents over certain time periods and / or intervals and can include compositions that enhance delivery of the pharmaceuticals, such as nanoparticle, microsphere or liposome formulations, a variety of which are known in the art and are commercially available.

[0077] The dose of the composition comprising a compound of the present disclosure and a pharmaceutical agent generally depends upon the needs of the individual to whom the composition of the disclosure is to be administered. These factors include, for example, the weight, age, sex, medical history, and nature and stage of the disease for which a therapeutic or prophylactic effect is desired. The compositions can be used in conjunction with any other conventional treatment modality designed to improve the disorder for which a desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect is intended, non-limiting examples of which include surgical interventions and radiation therapies. The compositions can be administered once, or over a series of administrations at various intervals determined using ordinary skill in the art and given the benefit of the present disclosure.

[0078] It is envisioned, therefore, that a compound of the present disclosure is useful in the treatment of a cryptosporidium infection. Thus, the present disclosure concerns the use of a compound of the present disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition containing either a compound of the present disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of such conditions and diseases.

[0079] The compounds of the present disclosure can be therapeutically administered as the neat chemical, but it is preferred to administer a compound of the present disclosure as a pharmaceutical composition or formulation. Thus, the present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the present disclosure together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier therefor. Also provided is a process of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising admixing a compound of the present disclosure with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier therefor.

[0080] In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable formulation is such that it provides sustained delivery of a compound of the present disclosure to an individual for at least 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, one week, two weeks, three weeks, or four weeks after the pharmaceutically acceptable formulation is administered to the individual.

[0081] In certain embodiments, these pharmaceutical compositions are suitable for oral administration to an individual. In other embodiments, as described in detail below, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may be specially formulated for administration in solid or liquid form, including those adapted for the following: oral administration, for example, drenches (aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions), tablets, boluses, powders, granules, and pastes.

[0082] The compositions may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any methods well known in the art of pharmacy. The amount of active ingredient which can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the individual being treated, the particular mode of administration. The amount of active ingredient which can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will generally be that amount of a compound of the present disclosure which produces a therapeutic effect. Generally, out of one hundred per cent, this amount will range from about 1 per cent to about ninety-nine percent of active ingredient, preferably from about 5 per cent to about 70 per cent, more preferably from about 10 per cent to about 30 per cent.

[0083] Methods of preparing these compositions include the step of bringing into association a compound of the present disclosure with the carrier and, optionally, one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association a compound of the present disclosure with liquid carriers, or finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.

[0084] When a compound of the present disclosure is administered as pharmaceuticals to humans and animals, they can be given per se or as a pharmaceuticalcomposition containing, for example, 0.1 to 99.5% (more preferably, 0.5 to 90%) of active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier.

[0085] In certain embodiments, the methods of the disclosure include administering to an individual a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure in combination with another pharmaceutically active ingredient. Pharmaceutically active ingredients that may be used can be found in Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine, Thirteenth Edition, Eds. T.R. Harrison et al. McGraw-Hill N.Y., NY; and the Physicians Desk Reference 50th Edition 1997, Oradell New Jersey, Medical Economics Co., the complete contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. A compound of the present disclosure and the pharmaceutically active ingredient may be administered to the individual in the same pharmaceutical composition or in different pharmaceutical compositions (at the same time or at different times).

[0086] Methods delineated herein include those wherein the individual is identified as in need of a particular stated treatment. Identifying an individual in need of such treatment can be in the judgment of an individual or a health care professional and can be subjective (e.g., opinion) or objective (e.g., measurable by a test or diagnostic method). In other methods, the individual is prescreened or identified as in need of such treatment by assessment for a relevant marker or indicator of suitability for such treatment.

[0087] The compounds and compositions disclosed in the present disclosure can also be used for prophylaxis in an individual who is at risk of being exposed to cryptosporidium. A prophylactic use may be useful, for example, in an individual who is about to undertake a journey to a region where an outbreak of cryptosporidium has been reported or is known to occur. For the prophylactic use, one or more doses of a composition comprising the compounds of the present disclosure may be administered. Dosing for prophylactic treatment may vary compared to dosing of known cryptosporidium infections. In one embodiment treatment may be given 1-3 times a day for 1 to 10 days or longer. In one embodiment, treatment is given for up to three times (such as 1 to 3 times) daily for up to 10 days (such as 1-10 days) in immunocompetent hosts. For immmuosuppressed hosts such as those with AIDS, long-term suppressive treatment may be warranted.

[0088] The identification of those patients who are in need of prophylactic treatment for a Cryptosporidium infection can readily identify such candidate patients, by the use of, for example, clinical tests, physical examination and medical / family history. The individual may have a Cryptosporidium infection, may be at risk of developing a Cryptosporidium infection, or may need prophylactic treatment prior to anticipated or unanticipated exposure to acondition(s) capable of increasing susceptibility to a Cryptosporidium infection. In an embodiment, those in need of prophylactic treatment for a Cryptosporidium infection can take a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure from 1 to 30 days prior to an anticipated or unanticipated exposure to a condition(s) capable of increasing susceptibility to a Cryptosporidium infection. In another embodiment, those in need of prophylactic treatment for a Cryptosporidium infection can take a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure from 1 to 24 hours prior to an anticipated or unanticipated exposure to a condition(s) capable of increasing susceptibility to a Cryptosporidium infection. In an embodiment, an individual can take a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure shortly after exposure to Cryptosporidium infection.

[0089] In another aspect, the disclosure provides a packaged composition including a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. The composition may be formulated for treating an individual suffering from or susceptible to a Cryptosporidium infection and packaged with instructions to treat an individual suffering from or susceptible to a Cryptosporidium infection.

The instructions may include details on one or more of the following: dosage, frequency, number of administrations to be carried out (such as number of tablets to be consumed), whether the composition needs to be taken with food, water etc., storage of the composition, and the like.

[0091] For veterinary use, a compound of the present disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug, is administered as a suitably acceptable formulation in accordance with normal veterinary practice. The veterinarian can readily determine the dosing regimen and route of administration that is most appropriate for a particular animal. Animals treatable by the present compounds and methods include, but are not limited to, bovines or ungulates.

[0092] When administered in combination with other therapeutics, a present compound may be administered at relatively lower dosages. In addition, the use of targetingagents may allow the necessary dosage to be relatively low. Certain compounds may be administered at relatively high dosages due to factors including, but not limited to, low toxicity and high clearance.

[0093] For human use, a compound of the present disclosure can be administered alone, but generally is administered in admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present disclosure can be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carrier comprising excipients and auxiliaries that facilitate processing of a compound of the present disclosure into pharmaceutical preparations.

[0094] In an aspect, a compound as described herein exhibits activity against Cryptosporidium.

[0100] This example provides a description of synthesis of compounds of the present disclosure.

[0101] Chemistry. As illustrated in the Scheme 1 below, synthesis of the pyrazolopyrimidine core began by the reaction of malononitrile with ethyl orthopropionate in acetic anhydride at refluxing temperatures to give the fully substituted alkene product I. Compound I was sufficiently pure (>95 % purity by LCMS) that it was used in the next step without further purification. Compound I then was condensed with methyl hydrazine in ethanol to afford the aminocyanopyrazole II (Burch, H. A. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (1968), 11(1), 79-83). The exact regioisomer of product II from the aforementioned reaction was confirmed by 2D NMR (Nuclear Overhauser Effect). Functional group interconversion of the nitrile group on II to amide functionality in III was achieved by acid-mediated hydrolysis at room temperature overnight. As observed with compound I, aminopyrazole amide III was sufficiently pure (>95 % purity by LCMS) that it was used in the subsequent step without the need of further purification. Reaction of product III with urea at elevated temperatures gave the desired 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(5H,7H)-dione core IV within 2 hours of refluxing. At refluxing temperatures, a mixture of phosphorus (V) chloride, PCl5 and phosphoryl chloride, POCl3 was required to ensure full conversion of the dione in IV to the dichlorinated product V. The use of only POCl3resulted mostly in the mono chlorinated product and trace of the desired dichlorinated product V. Next, 4- fluorobenzylamine reacted regioselectively at the 4-Cl position of precursor V in the presence of diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) at room temperature in a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) fashion to afford synthetic intermediate VI (SLU-0002812). At room temperature, SNAr reactivity is much faster at the 4-Cl position than the 6-Cl position making this SNAr highly selective towards the 4-position of 4,6-chloropyrazolopyrimidine.

[0117] An improved synthesis of benzoxaborole SLU-0010906 was developed (Scheme 8B). Condensation of methyl 2-bromo-5-formylbenzoate with aminopyrazole III under oxidative conditions gave pyrazolopyrimidinone 8B.1. 8B.1 was then converted to the 4-chloro with POCl3and then treated with 4-fluorobenzylamine under basic conditions to yield 8B.2. Under Pd catalysis, bromo 8B.2 was converted to the boronate ester and then treated with sodium borohydride to reduce the ester and induce cyclication to give the target benzoxaborole SLU-0010906 in good yield. Boronate ester intermediate 8B.3 was also hydrolyzed directly with NaOH and, upon acidification, gave SLU-0011527. Subsituted benzoxaboroles 8B.5 and 8B.6 were prepared via either direct treatment of ester 8B.2 with Grignard reagent and subsequent borylation with B2pin2 to give 8B.6 or first conversion of 8B.2 to aldehyde 8B.4 before borylation to give 8B.5 (including SLU-0011695 where R’=H and R=Me).Reaction conditions: a) I2, CH3CN, reflux, 16 h; b) POCl3, 110 °C, 3 h; c) 4- flurobenzylamine, K2CO3, NMP, 80 °C; d) Pd(dppf)Cl2, KOAc, B2pin2, 1,4-dioxane, 80 °C; e) NaBH4, MeOH, 0 °C-rt, 4 h; f) 1 M NaOH, MeOH, 2 h; g) 1 M HCl; h) DIBAL-H, DCM, 0 °C, 1 h; i) MnO2, DCM, 3 h; j) RMgCl, THF, 0 °C, 2-3 h.

[0123] Scheme 10 illustrates the multi-step synthesis of target analogs 11i-f. To initiate the process, 5-amino-3-ethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide 6 and ethyl 4- cyanobenzoate 7 were heated in sodium ethoxide and ethanol to yield pyrazolopyrimidinone intermediate 8. Intermediate 8 was derivatized by activation with BOP and DIEA followed by treatment with benzylamines 9a-i at room temperature overnight to give derivatized intermediates 10 a-i. Finally, nitriles 10a-i were hydrolized in aq. KOH at elevated temperatures, acidified with HCl, and purified by reverse phase HPLC to give final target analogs, 11a-i.intermediate 8.

[0125] Scheme 11 illustrates another route to synthesize target compounds. This modified route involved an initial step wherein 5-amino-3-ethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4- carboxamide 6 and 4-formylbenzoic acid 15, along with K2CO3, are dissolved in DMF and treated with iodine and heated at a temperature of 90 °C for an extended period overnight, resulting in the formation of intermediate 16. Next, POCl3 is used to generate chloro intermediate 17. Subsequently, intermediate 17 and DIEA were dissolved in acetonitrile, followed by the addition of amine derivatives 9l-ah. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight to give analog methyl ester precursors 18l-ah. Hydrolysis followed by reverse phase HPLC purification yielded the desired target analogs 19l-ah.intermediate 17.

Next, nucleophilic aromatic substitution of intermediates 23a-j with 4-fluorobenzylamine in the presence of diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) at room temperature formed intermediates 24a-j. Finally, Suzuki coupling of 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid with 24a-j gave target compounds 25a-j. Cl Cl CHOHClab N H2N N NH N

[0131] Schemes 14-16 illustrate the synthesis of R1and R2variation to the target compounds. The overall procedures are similar to those described for Scheme 1 with modest experimental variations. To introduce R1variations, the corresponding alkyl or aryl hydrazine is condensed with I or 33 as illustrated in Schemes 14 and 15. The resultant aminocyanopyrazoles 27a-h and 34a-g are carried forward over 5 steps as described inprevious schemes to give the target analogs 32a-h and 39a-g. Scheme 16 illustrates keeping R1constant as methyl while varying R2. The R2group is introduced in the first step from commercially available alkyl or aryl orthoformates, which, upon condensation with malononitrile and subsequently with methylhydrazine, gives aminocyanopyrazoles 43a-c. 43a-c were then transformed over 5 steps as described in previous schemes to give target compounds 46a-c.
