[0057] The compounds of the present invention also include crystalline and amorphous forms of these compounds, pharma- ceutically acceptable salts, and active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity, including, for example, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, solvates, hydrates, nonsolvated polymorphs (including anhydrates), conformational polymorphs, and amorphous forms of the compounds, and mixtures thereof.

[0058] The present disclosure includes the salts of the compounds described herein, particularly pharma- ceutically acceptable salts.Compounds of the present disclosure that have sufficiently acidic, sufficiently basic, or both functional groups can react with some inorganic bases and inorganic and organic acids to form salts.Alternatively, compounds that are inherently charged, such as those that have quaternary nitrogen, can form salts with suitable counterions, such as halides, such as bromide, chloride, or fluoride, particularly bromide.

[0059] The compounds described herein may exist as diastereomers, enantiomers, or other stereoisomeric forms in some cases. The compounds presented herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms, as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. Separation of stereoisomers can be carried out by chromatography, or by formation of diastereomers and recrystallization or separation by chromatography, or any combination thereof. (Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H. Wilen, "Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions", John Wiley And Sons, Inc., 1981, which is incorporated herein by reference for the present disclosure). Stereoisomers can also be obtained by stereoselective synthesis.

[0060] The methods and compositions described herein include the use of amorphous and crystalline forms (also known as polymorphs). The compounds described herein may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. However, in some embodiments, the active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity are included within the scope of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the compounds described herein may exist in unsolvated form as well as in solvated form with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, etc. The solvated forms of the compounds presented herein are also considered to be disclosed herein.

[0061] In certain embodiments, the compound or salt of the compound may be a prodrug, for example, a hydroxyl in the parent compound exists as an ester or carbonate, or a carboxylic acid in the parent compound exists as an ester. The term "prodrug" is intended to encompass compounds that are converted under physiological conditions to become pharmaceutical agents of the present disclosure. One method for making a prodrug is to include one or more selected moieties that are hydrolyzed under physiological conditions to reveal the desired molecule. In other embodiments, the prodrug is converted by the enzyme activity of the host animal, such as a specific target cell in the host animal. For example, esters or carbonates (e.g., esters or carbonates of alcohols or carboxylic acids, and esters of phosphonic acids) are preferred prodrugs of the present disclosure.

[0062] Prodrug forms of the compounds described herein that are metabolized in vivo to provide the compounds described herein are included within the scope of the claims. In some cases, some of the compounds described herein may be prodrugs of another derivative or active compound.

[0063] Prodrugs are often useful because in some circumstances they can be administered more easily than the parent drug. For example, they may be bioavailable by oral administration, whereas the parent drug is not. Prodrugs can help improve the cell permeability of the compound compared to the parent drug. Prodrugs can also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions compared to the parent drug. Prodrugs can be designed as reversible drug derivatives to improve drug transport to site-specific tissues or to be used as modifiers to enhance drug retention inside cells.

[0113] Combination therapy Combination therapy is also contemplated herein, for example, co-administration of the disclosed compounds and additional active agents as part of a specific treatment plan intended to produce beneficial effects from the co-action of these therapeutic agents. The beneficial effects of the combination include, but are not limited to, pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic co-actions resulting from the combination of therapeutic agents. The administration of these therapeutic agents in combination is typically carried out over a period of time (usually hours, days, weeks, months or years, depending on the combination selected). Combination therapy is intended to encompass not only the administration of multiple therapeutic agents or at least two of the therapeutic agents substantially simultaneously, but also the sequential administration of these therapeutic agents, i.e., administration of each therapeutic agent at a different time.

[0114] Substantially simultaneous administration can be achieved, for example, by administering to the subject separate formulations or compositions (e.g., tablets or capsules with a fixed ratio of each therapeutic agent), or multiple separate formulations (e.g., capsules) for each of the therapeutic agents. Sequential or substantially simultaneous administration of each therapeutic agent can be by any suitable route, including, but not limited to, oral, intravenous, intramuscular, and direct absorption through mucosal tissue. The therapeutic agents can be administered by the same or different routes. For example, a first therapeutic agent of the selected combination is administered by intravenous injection, and the other therapeutic agent of the combination is administered orally. Alternatively, for example, all therapeutic agents are administered orally, or all therapeutic agents are administered by intravenous injection.

[0115] The components of the combination are administered to a patient simultaneously or sequentially. It will be understood that the components are administered simultaneously by being present in the same pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier. Alternatively, the active components are present in separate pharmaceutical carriers, such as conventional oral dosage forms, which are administered either simultaneously or sequentially. EXAMPLES

[0116] The invention, generally described herein, will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples, which are included merely for the purpose of illustrating certain aspects and embodiments of the invention, and are not intended to limit the invention in any way.

[0117] In some embodiments, compound 5 described herein is prepared as depicted in Scheme A.

[0118] Scheme A. [ka] Compound 5 can be prepared via the synthetic route described in Scheme A. A simple and selective one-pot reaction using commercially available 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1) and ethyl diazoacetate efficiently affords 3-ethoxycarbonylbenzofuran (2), which can be easily converted to 3-ethoxycarbonylbenzofuran by the addition of NaCN and Zn(CN). 2 Palladium catalyzed cyanation with a cyanaide salt such as 3 affords compound 3. The synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles from organic nitriles 3 can be achieved by one of a number of catalysts and methodologies, where hydrolysis of (1H-tetrazol-5-yl)benzofuran-3-carboxylate in basic medium affords key intermediate 4. Finally, compound 5 is obtained from the amide coupling reaction of carboxylic acid 4 with the corresponding substituted aromatic amine in the presence of a coupling reagent such as HATU, EDCl, or CDI.

[0119] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are prepared as depicted in Scheme B.

[0120] Scheme B. [ka] Compound 5 may alternatively be prepared via the synthetic route described in Scheme B. Starting from benzofuran acid (6), compound 7 is obtained from a two-step sequence of amide coupling and transition metal-catalyzed cyanation. The tetrazole of 5 can then be introduced using a procedure similar to that described in step c of Scheme A. The cyano group can also be converted to other five-membered heterocycles such as 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)-ones (e.g., 8) via an N-hydroxyimide amide intermediate.

[0121] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are prepared as depicted in Scheme C.

[0122] Scheme C. [ka] Compound 15 can be prepared via the synthetic route described in Scheme C. Commercially available 9 is converted to hydroxybenzaldehyde (10), which is then converted to 3-ethoxycarbonylbenzofuran (11) under conditions similar to those described in Scheme A, step a. 3 Demethylation facilitated by Br-(CH 2 ) n Realkylation with CN affords compound 13. Final compound (15) is synthesized starting from 13 in a similar manner as described in steps c-e of Scheme A.

[0123] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are prepared as depicted in Scheme D.

[0124] Scheme D. [ka] Substituted anilines (18, 20, 22) can be prepared via the synthetic route described in Scheme D. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S N Ar) reaction gives compound 17, which is then reduced to oxyaniline (18). Compound 19 can be obtained from aryl bromide (16, Y=Br) via a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of the corresponding amine, known as the Buchwald-Hartwig amination, which is then reduced to diaminobenzene (20). Finally, the (cyclo)alkylation of aryl bromide (16, Y=Br) to compound 22 is completed by a two-step reaction of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with the corresponding alkenylboronic acid / ester and alkenyl reduction.

[0125] In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are prepared as depicted in Scheme E.

[0126] Scheme E. [ka] Compound 27 can be prepared by a procedure similar to that described in Scheme E. Compound 27 can be obtained from a procedure similar to that described in steps b-e of Example A. Alternatively, AlMe 3 Compound 25 can also be obtained directly by amide formation with the corresponding aniline promoted by:
