[0002] Field of the Disclosure The present disclosure relates to inhibitors of NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) protein. The inhibitors described herein are useful for treating diseases and disorders associated with the regulation of NLRP3 protein. In particular, the present invention relates to compounds and pharmaceutical compositions that inhibit NLRP3, methods of using the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions to treat diseases and disorders associated with NLRP3, and methods of synthesizing the compounds and compositions. [Background technology]
[0003] The innate immune response is mediated by different types of receptors called pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). PRRs recognize the presence of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Once bound, these receptors trigger the activation of downstream inflammatory pathways that help resolve damage. However, in many cases, this activation can be uncontrolled, leading to disease.
[0004] Inflammasomes represent a class of PRRs that are crucial components of the innate immune response. Inflammasome activation triggers a cascade of events that releases IL-1β, IL-18, and promotes an inflammatory form of cell death called pyroptosis, induced by activation of gasdermins. Pyroptosis is a unique form of inflammatory cell death that results in the release of not only cytokines but also other intracellular components that promote a broader immune response of both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Thus, inflammasome activation is a major regulatory inflammatory cascade.
[0005] NLRP3 is the best characterized inflammasome and has been shown to be important for innate immunity and inflammatory responses. While some other NLR complexes, such as NLRC4, are activated under very specific circumstances, NLRP3 can be activated by many stimuli and should be considered as a sensor of homeostatic imbalance within the cell. Its precise function is therefore essential. In addition to playing a role in host immune defense, dysregulation of NLRP3 has been linked to the pathogenesis of many inflammatory disorders. These include inherited diseases such as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), which are caused by gain-of-function mutations in the NLRP3 gene, as well as many common neurological and systemic diseases. Importantly, hyperactivation of NLRP3 has been preclinically demonstrated to play a key role in many inflammatory and degenerative diseases, including NASH, atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, gout, and many other autoinflammatory diseases. Thus, there is an unmet need in the art to develop small molecules to modulate NLRP3 activity to treat various diseases and disorders. Summary of the Invention

[0059] As used herein, "one or more of A, B, or C," "one or more of A, B, or C," "one or more of A, B, and C," "one or more of A, B and C," "selected from the group consisting of A, B, and C," "selected from A, B, and C," etc. are used interchangeably and all refer to selection from the group consisting of A, B, and / or C, i.e., one or more A, one or more B, one or more C, or any combination thereof, unless otherwise indicated.
[0060] If a bond to a substituent is shown to cross the bond connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any atom in the ring. When substituents are listed without indicating the atom at which such substituent is bonded to the remainder of the compound of a given formula, then such substituent may be bonded through any atom in such formula. Combinations of substituents and / or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
[0061] When any variable (e.g., R) occurs more than once in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-2 R moieties, that group may be optionally substituted with up to 2 R moieties, and R is independently selected from the definitions of R at each occurrence. Also, combinations of substituents and / or variables are permissible, but only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

These texts may also be referred to when making or using certain aspects of the present disclosure.
[0073] It should be understood that the present disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising any of the compounds described herein in combination with at least one pharma- ceutically acceptable excipient or carrier.
[0074] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a formulation that contains the disclosed compound in a form suitable for administration to a subject. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is in bulk or unit dosage form. The unit dosage form is any of a variety of forms, including, for example, a capsule, an IV bag, a tablet, a single pump of an aerosol inhaler, or a vial. The amount of active ingredient (e.g., a formulation of the disclosed compound or its salt, hydrate, solvate, or isomer) in a unit dose of the composition is an effective amount and varies according to the specific treatment involved. Those skilled in the art will understand that it is sometimes necessary to make routine modifications to the dosage depending on the age and condition of the patient. The dosage also depends on the route of administration. Various routes are contemplated, including oral, pulmonary, rectal, parenteral, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, inhalation, buccal, sublingual, intrathoracic, intrathecal, intranasal, etc. Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of the compounds of this disclosure include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. In one embodiment, the active compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives or buffers or propellants which may be required.
[0075] As used herein, the term "pharmacologically acceptable" refers to compounds, anions, cations, materials, compositions, carriers, and / or dosage forms that are suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, within the scope of sound medical judgment, and commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0076] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" refers to an excipient that is generally safe, non-toxic, and not biologically or otherwise harmful, useful in the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition, and includes excipients that are acceptable for veterinary and human pharmaceutical use. As used in the specification and claims, "a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" includes both one and more than one such excipient.
[0077] It is understood that the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure is formulated to suit its intended route of administration. Examples of routes of administration include parenteral, e.g., intravenous, intradermal, subcutaneous, oral (e.g., ingestion), inhalation, transdermal (topical), and transmucosal administration. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, or subcutaneous application can contain the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerin, propylene glycol, or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methylparabens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffers such as acetates, citrates, or phosphates, and agents for adjusting osmolality such as sodium chloride or dextrose. The pH can be adjusted with acids or bases such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. Parenteral preparations can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes, or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic.
[0078] It should be understood that the compound or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure can be administered to a subject by many of the well-known methods currently used for chemotherapy treatment.For example, the compound of the present disclosure can be injected into the bloodstream or body cavity, taken orally, or applied to the skin using a patch.The dose selected should be sufficient to constitute an effective treatment, but not so high as to cause unacceptable side effects.The stage of the disease (e.g., disease or disorder disclosed herein) and the health condition of the patient should preferably be closely observed during and for a reasonable period after treatment.
[0079] The term "therapeutically effective amount" as used herein refers to an amount of an agent that treats, ameliorates, or prevents a confirmed disease or condition, or that exhibits a detectable therapeutic or suppressive effect. This effect can be detected by any assay method known in the art. The precise effective amount for a subject will depend on the subject's weight, size, and health; the nature and extent of the condition; and the therapeutic agent or combination of therapeutic agents selected for administration. The therapeutically effective amount for a given situation can be determined by routine experimentation that is within the skill and judgment of the clinician.
[0080] It should be understood that for any compound, the therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially, for example, in cell culture assays of neoplastic cells, or in animal models, usually rats, mice, rabbits, dogs, or pigs. Animal models can also be used to determine appropriate concentration ranges and routes of administration. Such information can then be used to determine useful doses and routes for administration in humans. Therapeutic / prophylactic efficacy and toxicity, e.g., ED 50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population) and LD 50 The dose that is lethal to 50% of the population (LD) can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals. The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index, which is the LD 50 / ED 50 Pharmaceutical compositions that exhibit large therapeutic indices are desirable. Dosages can vary within this range depending on the dosage form used, sensitivity of the patient, and the route of administration.
[0081] Dosage and administration are adjusted to obtain sufficient levels of active agent(s) or to maintain the desired effect. Factors that may be taken into account include the severity of the disease stage, the overall health of the subject, the subject's age, weight, and sex, diet, time and frequency of administration, drug combination(s), reaction sensitivities, and tolerance / response to treatment.
[0082] The pharmaceutical composition comprising the active compound of the present disclosure can be prepared in a generally known manner, for example, by conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, encapsulating or lyophilizing process.The pharmaceutical composition can be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, including excipients and auxiliaries, which facilitate the processing of active compound into pharmaceutically usable preparations.Of course, suitable formulation depends on the selected route of administration.
[0083] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EL® (BASF, Parsippany, NJ) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and should be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. The composition must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier may be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of microbial action can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, etc. In many cases, it is preferable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, polyalcohols, such as mannitol and sorbitol, and / or sodium chloride in the composition. Prolonged absorption of injectable compositions can be achieved by including agents that delay absorption, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin, in the composition.
[0084] Sterile injectable solution can be prepared by incorporating the required amount of active compound into suitable solvent with one or combination of the above-listed components as required, followed by filtration sterilization.Generally, dispersion is prepared by incorporating active compound into sterile vehicle that contains basic dispersion medium and other components required from above-listed.For the preparation of sterile injectable solution, the preparation method is vacuum drying and freeze-drying, which obtains the powder of active ingredient plus any additional desired components from its solution that has been previously sterile-filtered.
[0085] Oral compositions generally contain an inert diluent or an edible pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier. They may be enclosed in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. For the purpose of oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may be formulated with an excipient and used in the form of tablets, lozenges, or capsules. Oral compositions may also be prepared using a fluid carrier for use as a mouthwash, in which the compound in the fluid carrier is orally applied, swished in the mouth, and expectorated or swallowed. Pharmacologically compatible binding agents and / or adjuvant materials may be included as part of the composition. The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like may contain any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth, or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or Stellite; a flow agent such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavor.
[0086] For administration by inhalation, the compounds are delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from pressured container or dispenser which contains a suitable propellant, e.g., a gas such as carbon dioxide, or a nebulizer.
[0087] Systemic administration may also be by transmucosal or transdermal means. For transmucosal or transdermal administration, a penetrant appropriate to the barrier to be permeated is used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art, and include, for example, for transmucosal administration, detergents, bile salts, and fusidic acid derivatives. Transmucosal administration can be achieved through the use of nasal sprays or suppositories. For transdermal administration, the active compound is formulated into ointments, salves, gels, or creams, as generally known in the art.
[0088] The active compound can be prepared with a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier that protects the body from rapid release of the compound, such as sustained release formulations, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid, can be used. Methods for preparing such formulations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Materials can also be obtained commercially from Alza Corporation and Nova Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Liposomal suspensions, including liposomes targeted to infected cells with monoclonal antibodies against viral antigens, can also be used as pharma- ceutically acceptable carriers. These can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,522,811.
[0089] For ease of administration and uniformity of dosage, it is particularly advantageous to formulate oral or parenteral compositions in dosage unit form.The term "unitary dosage form" used herein refers to a physically separate unit suitable as a unitary dosage for treating a subject, each unit containing a predetermined amount of active compound calculated to produce desired therapeutic effect in association with required pharmaceutical carrier.The specification of dosage unit form of the present disclosure is required and directly depends on the characteristics inherent to active compound and the specific therapeutic effect to be achieved.
[0090] In therapeutic applications, dosages of pharmaceutical compositions used in accordance with the present disclosure will vary depending on the agent, the age, weight, and clinical condition of the recipient patient, and the experience and judgment of the clinician or practitioner administering the treatment, among other factors that influence the selected dosage. In general, the dosage should be sufficient to slow, preferably regress, and preferably cause complete regression of the symptoms of the disease or disorder disclosed herein. Dosages may range from about 0.01 mg / kg per day to about 5000 mg / kg per day. An effective amount of an agent is an amount that produces an objectively identifiable improvement as noted by a clinician or other qualified observer. Improved survival and proliferation are indicative of regression. As used herein, the term "dosage-effective method" refers to an amount of an active compound that produces a desired biological effect in a subject or cell.
[0091] It should be understood that the pharmaceutical compositions may be included in a container, pack, or dispenser together with instructions for administration.
[0092] For compounds of the present disclosure that are further capable of forming salts, it is to be understood that all of these forms are also contemplated within the scope of the claimed disclosure.
[0093] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to derivatives of the compounds of the present disclosure, where the parent compound is modified by making its acid or base salt. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, inorganic or organic acid salts of basic residues such as amines, alkali or organic salts of acidic residues such as carboxylic acids, and the like. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, for example, conventional non-toxic salts or quaternary ammonium salts of the parent compound formed from non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. For example, such conventional non-toxic salts include, but are not limited to, 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, acetic acid, ascorbic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, bicarbonate, carbonate, citric acid, edetic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, 1,2-ethanesulfonic acid, fumaric acid, glucoheptonic acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, glycolic acid, glycolarsanoic acid, hexylresorcylic acid, hydrabamic acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydroiodic acid, hydroxymaleic acid, hydroxynaphthoic acid, isethionic acid, benzo ...

[0280] For the avoidance of doubt, when a group is modified herein as "as described herein," it is to be understood that the group includes the broadest definition occurring first, as well as each and every specific definition of that group.
[0281] Suitable pharma- ceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the present disclosure are, for example, sufficiently basic acid addition salts of the compounds of the present disclosure, such as inorganic or organic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, formic acid, citric acid methanesulfonate, or maleic acid. In addition, suitable pharma- ceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the present disclosure that are sufficiently acidic are alkali metal salts, such as sodium or potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts, such as calcium or magnesium salts, ammonium salts, or salts with organic bases that provide pharma- ceutically acceptable cations, such as methylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, trimethylamine, piperidine, morpholine, or tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine.
[0282] It will be understood that the compounds of any one of the formulas disclosed herein, and any pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof, include stereoisomers of said compounds, mixtures of stereoisomers, and polymorphs of all isomeric forms of said compounds.
[0283] In some embodiments, the compound of formula (I) is not: [ka] or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt, solvate, clathrate, hydrate, stereoisomer, tautomer, isotopically labeled compound, or prodrug thereof.
[0284] As used herein, the term "isomerism" means compounds that have identical molecular formulae but differ in the sequence of bonds of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are called "stereoisomers." Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are called "diastereoisomers," and stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are sometimes called "enantiomers" or optical isomers. A mixture containing equal amounts of individual enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality is called a "racemic mixture."
[0285] As used herein, the term "chiral center" refers to a carbon atom bonded to four nonidentical substituents.
[0286] As used herein, the term "chiral isomer" refers to a compound having at least one chiral center. Compounds having two or more chiral centers may exist as individual diastereomers or as a mixture of diastereomers, termed a "diastereomeric mixture." When one chiral center is present, a stereoisomer may be characterized by the absolute configuration (R or S) of that chiral center. Absolute configuration refers to the spatial arrangement of the substituents attached to the chiral center. The substituents attached to the chiral center under consideration are ranked according to the Cahn, Ingold, and Prelog sequencing rules. (Cahn et al.,Angew. 1956, 12, 81; Cahn, J. Chem. Educ. 1964, 41, 116).
[0287] As used herein, the term "geometric isomers" refers to diastereomers that result from hindered rotation around a double bond or a cycloalkyl linker (e.g., 1,3-cyclobutyl). These configurations are distinguished in their names by the prefixes cis and trans, or Z and E, to indicate that the groups are on the same or opposite sides of a double bond in the molecule, according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules.
[0288] It should be understood that the compounds of the present disclosure can be depicted as different chiral isomers or geometric isomers.When a compound has chiral isomers or geometric isomers, it should also be understood that all isomeric forms are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure, and the name of the compound does not exclude any isomeric form.It should be understood that all isomers do not have the same activity level.
[0289] It is to be understood that the structures and other compounds discussed in this disclosure include all atropisomers thereof. It is also to be understood that not all non-atropic forms have the same level of activity.
[0290] As used herein, the term "tautomer" refers to one of two or more structural isomers that exist in equilibrium and are easily converted from one isomeric form to another. This conversion results in the formal migration of a hydrogen atom accompanied by the switching of adjacent conjugated double bonds. Tautomers exist as a mixture of tautomer sets in solution. In solutions where tautomerization is possible, a chemical equilibrium of tautomers is reached. The exact ratio of tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. The concept of tautomers that are interconvertible by tautomerization is called tautomerism. Of the various types of tautomerism possible, two are commonly observed. In keto-enol tautomerism, a simultaneous shift of electrons and hydrogen atoms occurs. Ring-chain tautomerism occurs as a result of an aldehyde group (-CHO) in a sugar molecule reacting with one of the hydroxyl groups (-OH) in the same molecule to produce a cyclic (ring-shaped) form as shown in glucose.
[0291] It should be understood that the compounds of the present disclosure can be depicted as different tautomers.When a compound has tautomeric forms, it should also be understood that all tautomeric forms are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure, and the name of the compound does not exclude tautomeric forms.It should be understood that certain tautomers may have a higher level of activity than other tautomers.
[0292] Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are called "isomers". Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are called "stereoisomers", stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other are called "diastereomers", and stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are called "enantiomers". When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, when it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. Enantiomers can be characterized by the absolute configuration of their asymmetric center and are described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog or by the way the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and are designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., (+) or (-) isomers, respectively). Chiral compounds may exist as either individual enantiomers or as mixtures thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture".
[0293] The compounds of the present disclosure may have one or more asymmetric centers; therefore, such compounds may be produced as individual (R)- or (S)-stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof. Unless otherwise indicated, the description or naming of a particular compound in this specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and their racemic or otherwise mixtures. Methods for determining stereochemistry and separating stereoisomers are well known in the art, for example, by synthesis from optically active starting materials or by resolution of racemic forms (see discussion in Chapter 4 of "Advanced Organic Chemistry", 4th edition J. March, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 2001). Some of the compounds of the present disclosure may have geometric isomeric centers (E- and Z-isomers). It is to be understood that the present disclosure encompasses all optical, diastereomeric, and geometric isomers, and mixtures thereof, that have inflammasome inhibitory activity.
[0294] It should be understood that the compounds of any formula described herein include the compounds themselves, as well as their salts, and their solvates, if applicable.For example, salts can be formed between anions and positively charged groups (e.g., amino) on the substituted compounds disclosed herein.Suitable anions include chloride, bromide, iodide, sulfate, bisulfate, sulfamate, nitrate, phosphate, citrate, methanesulfonate, trifluoroacetate, glutamate, glucuronate, glutarate, malate, maleate, succinate, fumarate, tartrate, tosylate, salicylate, lactate, naphthalenesulfonate, and acetate (e.g., trifluoroacetate).
[0295] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable anion" refers to an anion suitable for forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.Similarly, salts can be formed between a cation on the substituted compounds disclosed herein and a negatively charged group (e.g., carboxylate).Suitable cations include sodium ion, potassium ion, magnesium ion, calcium ion, and ammonium cations such as tetramethylammonium ion or diethylamine ion.Substituted compounds disclosed herein also include salts containing quaternary nitrogen atoms.
[0296] It should be understood that the compounds of the present disclosure, for example, salts of the compounds, can exist in either hydrated or non-hydrated (anhydrous) form, or as solvates with other solvent molecules.Non-limiting examples of hydrates include monohydrates, dihydrates, etc.Non-limiting examples of solvates include ethanol solvates, acetone solvates, etc.
[0297] As used herein, the term "solvate" refers to a solvent addition form that contains either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent. Some compounds have a tendency to trap a fixed molar ratio of solvent molecules in the crystalline solid state, thus forming a solvate. When the solvent is water, the solvate formed is a hydrate; when the solvent is alcohol, the solvate formed is an alcoholate. A hydrate is formed by the combination of one or more water molecules with a molecule of a substance in which the water retains its molecular state as H2O.
[0298] As used herein, the term "analog" refers to a compound that is structurally similar to another but differs slightly in composition (e.g., when one atom is replaced by an atom of a different element, or when a particular functional group is present, or by replacing one functional group with another). Thus, an analog is a compound that is similar or equivalent in function and appearance to the reference compound, but not similar or equivalent in structure or origin.
[0299] As used herein, the term "derivative" refers to compounds that have a common core structure and are substituted with various groups as described herein.
[0300] It should also be understood that any one of the specific compounds of the formula disclosed herein can exist in solvated form as well as non-solvated form, such as hydrated form. Suitable pharma-ceutically acceptable solvates are, for example, hydrates such as hemihydrates, monohydrates, dihydrates, or trihydrates. It should be understood that the present disclosure encompasses all such solvated forms that have inflammasome inhibitory activity.
[0301] It should also be understood that any one of the specific compounds of the formula disclosed herein may exhibit polymorphism, and the present disclosure encompasses all such forms, or mixtures thereof, that have inflammasome inhibitory activity.In general, crystalline materials can be analyzed using conventional techniques, such as X-ray powder diffraction analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, diffuse reflectance infrared transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy, near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, solution and / or solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.The water content of such crystalline materials can be determined by Karl Fischer analysis.
[0302] Compounds of any one of the formulas disclosed herein may exist in several different tautomeric forms, and all such forms are intended to be encompassed.For the avoidance of doubt, even if a compound may exist in one of several tautomeric forms, and only one is specifically described or shown, all others are encompassed by formula (I).Examples of tautomeric forms include keto forms, enol forms, and enol forms, such as in the following tautomeric pairs: keto / enol (exemplified below), imine / enamine, amide / iminoalcohol, amidine / amidine, nitroso / oxime, thioketone / enethiol, and nitro / aci-nitro.

Examples of prodrugs include derivatives that contain alkyl or acyl substituents that can be cleaved in vivo in the ester or amide group in any one of the formulas disclosed herein.
[0304] Thus, the present disclosure includes compounds of any one of the formulas disclosed herein as defined hereinbefore when made available by organic synthesis and when made available in the human or animal body by cleavage of its prodrug.

Each cell received 150 μL of plasma or brain homogenate spiked with 1 mM compound and dialyzed against an equal volume of dialysis buffer (PBS). The dialysis plate was sealed and incubated for 6 hours in an incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2, 100 rpm. At the end of the incubation, compound concentrations were measured in both chambers by LC-MS / MS on a Triple Quad™ 5500 from AB Inc after separation on an XSelect Hss T3 2.5μ (2.1×30 mm) column. The free fraction (Fu) was calculated as (peak area ratio buffer chamber / peak area ratio plasma chamber).
[0640] Kp uu is (AUC tot,br ×F u,br ) / (AUC tot,pl ×F u,pl ) was calculated.
[0641] Activity Data Table D assigns each compound a code for potency in the human whole blood (hWB) NLRP3 assay: A or B. According to this code, A is IC 50 A represents an IC value ≤ 1.0 µM; B represents an IC 50 Values >1.0 μM represent the corresponding raw activity data.
[0642] The table below also assigns each compound a code of kp and kpu,u values: A or B, where A represents a value greater than 0.3 and B represents a value less than 0.3. The kp values were calculated by measuring the total brain drug level (AUC) over 24 hours in mice dosed at 20 mpkPO and dividing by the plasma AUC. The kpu,u was then calculated by correcting this kp value for mouse plasma protein binding and mouse brain homogenate binding. Kpu,u values >0.3 are brain penetrant and Kpu,u values 0.3 or less are not brain penetrant. ND=not determined. The corresponding raw kp and kpu,u data are also included. [Table 6-1] [Table 6-2]
[0643] Comparative Example The compounds described in the present disclosure are useful for treating NLRP3 protein-mediated diseases and / or disorders, and are structurally related to the compounds previously disclosed in US Patent Application No. 17 / 528,928 as inhibitors of the same NLRP3 protein.However, the brain levels of these active pharmaceutical ingredients are unexpected and therefore not contemplated in US Patent Application No. 17 / 528,928.Therefore, the unexpected ability of the present compounds 1*, 2*, 3*, 4*, 5 and 6 to penetrate the blood-brain barrier constitutes a novel invention.
[0644] Moreover, as shown in Table D above, it is not clear that the inhibitors of NLPR3 protein described in USSN 17 / 528,928 exhibit this unexpected activity. Selected NLPR3 inhibitors of the present disclosure have been found to exhibit stronger brain-penetrating properties in direct comparison with compounds of the USSN 17 / 528,928 application that have similar NLPR3 inhibitory activity in blood, as shown in Table D. As illustrated more clearly in the above table, compounds 1*, 2, 3*, 4*, 5, and 6 of the present disclosure exhibit unexpected "A" brain levels compared to compound 7* (Comparative Example 1, compound 89 of USSN 17 / 528,928) and compound 8 (Comparative Example 2, compound 96 of USSN 17 / 528,928), each of which exhibits "B" brain levels and is not brain-penetrating, thereby making the compounds of the present application more useful for treating NLPR3-mediated CNS diseases.
[0645] The solubility of the compound of formula (I) is also improved by the incorporation of R groups such as chloro groups while maintaining a Kpu,u of more than 0.3. 3 It has further been discovered that the compounds can be improved by replacing the halogen moiety of with a C1-C6 alkyl or C1-C6 alkoxy group, where alkyl or alk- are independently substituted with 0, 1, 2, or 3 halogen atoms. See, for example, Table E below. For example, chloro R 3 The solubility of Comparative Example 3 (compound 105 of USSN 17 / 528,928) having the moiety in phosphate buffer solution (PBS, pH 7.4) is compared to compounds 9*, 9B*, and 5. Both compound 9* and compound 9B* have chloro R 3 Part from -OCHF2R 3 Compound 5 results in a seven-fold increase in solubility in the chloro R 3 Part -CH3R 3 Each of these maintains good brain penetration. 3Incorporation of meta non-hydrogen groups into the moiety results in further increases in solubility: Compound 21* (37-fold increase), Compound 26* (42-fold increase), and Compound 24* (43-fold increase) compared to Comparative Example 3. Compounds with improved properties such as solubility, but not brain penetrability, may be useful for treating systemic (non-CNS) NLPR3-mediated diseases. [Table 7-1] [Table 7-2]
