Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001] 〔background〕 The Janus kinase family consists of four known family members: JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and JAK tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2). These cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases associate with membrane cytokine receptors, such as the common gamma chain receptor and glycoprotein 130 (gp130) (Murray, J. Immunol. 178(5):2623-2629, 2007). Approximately 40 cytokine receptors signal through a combination of these four JAK family members and seven downstream substrates, namely, signal transduction and activator of transcription (STAT) family members (Ghoreschi et al., Immunol Rev. 228(1):273-287, 2009). Cytokine binding to the receptor initiates JAK activation through transphosphorylation and autophosphorylation. JAK family kinases then phosphorylate cytokine receptor residues, forming binding sites for proteins containing sarcoma homology 2 (SH2), such as STAT factors and other regulatory factors, which are subsequently activated by JAK phosphorylation. Activated STATs enter the nucleus and initiate the expression of survival factors, cytokines, chemokines, and molecules that promote leukocyte trafficking (Schindler et al., J. Biol. Chem. 282(28):20059-20063, 2007). JAK activation also leads to cell proliferation via pathways mediated by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B.

[0002] Tofacitinib, a JAK1 / JAK3 / JAK2 inhibitor, was the first JAK inhibitor approved by the FDA for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis. Recently, the JAK1-selective compounds upadacitinib and abrocitinib have been approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (Nakashima et al. Allergol Int. 2022 Jan; 71(1):40-46). The TYK2-selective inhibitor deuclavacitinib has shown favorable phase 2 and 3 results in patients with psoriasis (Papp et al. N Engl J Med. 2018, 379; 14) and is FDA-approved for the treatment of psoriasis. Ruxolitinib (Opzelura), a selective JAK1 / JAK2 inhibitor, is also approved. TM Topical formulations of JAK inhibitors have also been approved for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis and are in clinical development for the treatment of psoriasis, alopecia areata, vitiligo, hidradenitis pustules, hand eczema, lipoid necrolysis, chronic graft-versus-host disease (CVS), digital dermatitis, and lichen planus. Therefore, JAK inhibitors are useful for the treatment of various skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, urticaria, alopecia areata, vitiligo, hidradenitis pustules, hand eczema, lipoid necrolysis, chronic graft-versus-host disease (CVS), digital dermatitis, or lichen planus (Zhang et al. J Inflamm Res. 2022 Mar 18; 15:1935-1941).

[0003] However, the approved oral agents, upadacitinib and abrocitinib, carry black box warnings regarding risks such as serious infections, non-melanoma skin cancer, thrombosis, and thrombocytopenia. Interestingly, topical formulations of ruxolitinib pose similar risks, likely due to high systemic exposure, with doses of 1.2 g to 37.6 g applied topically twice daily (FDA-approved Medication Guide, September 2021), reaching a Cmax of 449 ± 883 nM and an IC of 100 for JAK1 and JAK2 inhibition in biochemical assays. 50(3.3 nM and 2.8 nM, respectively) or by far exceeding the inhibition of cellular assays involving JAK1 and JAK2 (maximal effect at ≤300 nM, ruxolitinib FDA pharmacology review 2011).

[0004] Many of the reported JAK inhibitors, including tofacitinib, abrocitinib, ruxolitinib, baricitinib, and oclacitinib, share a pyrrolopyrimidine core structure, as shown below: [ka]

[0017] The details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the description below. Other features or advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following drawings and detailed description of certain embodiments, as well as from the appended claims.

[0018] [Definition] Definitions of certain chemical terms are detailed below. Chemical elements are identified according to the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75th Ed., inside cover, and certain functional groups are generally defined as set forth therein. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional groups and reactivities, are described in detail in Thomas Sorrell, Organic Chemistry, University Science Books, Sausalito, 1999; Michael B. Smith, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 7th Ed. th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2013; Richard C. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2018; and Carruthers, Some Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis, 3 rd Edition, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1987.

[0019] The compounds described herein may contain one or more asymmetric centers and therefore may exist in various stereoisomeric forms, such as enantiomers and / or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein may be in the form of individual enantiomers, diastereomers, or geometric isomers, or may be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomers. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods well known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725(1977); Eliel, EL Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, SH, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (EL Eliel, Ed., University of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). The present invention further encompasses the compounds as individual isomers, substantially free of other isomers, and alternatively, as mixtures of various isomers.

[0020] The compounds herein may also contain bonds (e.g., carbon-carbon bonds) where bond rotation is restricted relative to that particular bond, for example, restrictions due to the presence of a ring or double bond. Accordingly, all cis / trans and E / Z isomers are expressly included in the present disclosure. The compounds herein may also be represented in multiple tautomeric forms; in such cases, even if only a single tautomer may be represented, the present disclosure expressly includes all tautomeric forms of the compounds described herein. All isomeric forms of such compounds herein are expressly included in the present disclosure. The term "isomer" is intended to include diastereomers, enantiomers, positional isomers, structural isomers, rotamers, tautomers, and the like. For compounds containing one or more stereoisomeric centers, e.g., chiral compounds, the methods of the present disclosure can be practiced using enantiomerically enriched compounds, racemates, or mixtures of diastereomers. All isomers of the compounds defined herein are expressly included in the present disclosure.

[0021] In the formula, the bond [ka] is a single bond, and the dashed line [ka] is a single bond or is absent, and [ka] is a single or double bond.

[0022] Unless otherwise specified, formulas and structures depicted herein include compounds that do not contain isotopically enriched atoms, as well as compounds that contain isotopically enriched atoms, e.g., replacement of hydrogen with deuterium or tritium, 19 F 18 Substitution by F or carbon 13 C- or 14Compounds having this structure except for the C-enriched carbon substitution are within the scope of this disclosure. Such compounds are useful, for example, as analytical tools or probes in biological assays.

[0023] The term "isotope" refers to varieties of a particular chemical element such that all isotopes of the element have the same number of protons in each atom of the element, but the isotopes differ in the number of neutrons.

[0024] When a range of values ​​("range") is described, the range includes each value and subrange within the range. Unless otherwise specified, a range includes both endpoints of the range.

[0025] As used herein, the term "salt" refers to any salt, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Salts include ionic compounds resulting from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. Salts are composed of one or more cations (positively charged ions) and one or more anions (negatively charged ions) so that they are electrically neutral (have no net charge). Salts of the compounds of the present invention include those derived from inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of acid addition salts include salts of amino groups formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid, or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid, or salts formed using other methods known in the art, such as ion exchange. Other salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecyl sulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfonate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactobacillus acid salt, and benzoate. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N-methyl-2-hydroxybenzoates, such as benzoates, ... + (C 1~4Representative alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Additional salts include ammonium salts, quaternary ammonium salts, and amine cation salts formed with counterions such as halide salts, hydroxide salts, carboxylate salts, sulfate salts, phosphate salts, nitrate salts, lower alkyl sulfonates, and aryl sulfonates.

[0026] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt that is, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic reaction, and the like, and that is commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, which is incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the present invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic acid addition salts include salts of amino groups formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid, or salts of amino groups formed with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid, or salts formed using other methods known in the art, such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecyl sulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfonate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N-methyl-N ... + (C 1~4Representative alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, where appropriate, non-toxic ammonium salts, quaternary ammonium salts, and amine cation salts formed with counterions such as halide salts, hydroxide salts, carboxylate salts, sulfate salts, phosphate salts, nitrate salts, lower alkyl sulfonates, and aryl sulfonates.

[0027] It is also understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers." Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "stereoisomers."

[0028] Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are called "diastereomers," while isomers whose mirror images are non-superimposable are called "enantiomers." When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, when it is bonded to four different groups, it can have a pair of enantiomers. Enantiomers can be characterized by the absolute configuration of their asymmetric center, described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light, designating it as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+)- or (-)-isomers, respectively). Chiral compounds can exist as individual enantiomers or as mixtures thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture."

[0029] The term "prodrug" refers to a compound having a cleavable group that, upon solvation or under physiological conditions, becomes a compound described herein and has in vivo pharmaceutical activity. Examples include, but are not limited to, choline ester derivatives, N-alkylmorpholine esters, and the like. Other derivatives of the compounds described herein are active in both their acid and acid-derivative forms, but the acid-sensitive forms often offer advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in mammalian organisms (see Bundgaard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to those skilled in the art, such as esters prepared by reacting the parent acid with an appropriate alcohol, amides prepared by reacting the parent acid with a substituted or unsubstituted amine, acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters, amides, and anhydrides derived from the acidic groups appended to the compounds described herein are particularly suitable prodrugs. In some cases, it may be desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs, such as (acyloxy)alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkyl esters. C1-C8 alkyl esters, C2-C8 alkenyl esters, C2-C8 alkynyl esters, aryl esters, C7-C12 substituted aryl esters, and C7-C12 arylalkyl esters of the compounds described herein may be preferred.

[0030] The terms "composition" and "formulation" are used interchangeably.

[0031] A "subject" to which administration is contemplated refers to a human (i.e., male or female of any age, e.g., a pediatric subject (e.g., infant, child, or adolescent) or an adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult, or elderly adult)), or a non-human animal. In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal (e.g., a primate (e.g., a cynomolgus or rhesus monkey), a commercially relevant mammal (e.g., a cow, pig, horse, sheep, goat, cat, or dog), or a bird (e.g., a commercially relevant bird, e.g., a chicken, duck, goose, or turkey)). In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a fish, reptile, or amphibian. The non-human animal may be male or female, at any stage of development. The non-human animal may be a genetically modified or engineered animal. The term "patient" refers to a human subject in need of treatment for a disorder or disease.

[0032] The terms "administer," "administering," or "administration" refer to implanting, absorbing, ingesting, injecting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing a compound described herein or a composition thereof into or onto a subject.

[0033] The terms "treatment," "treat," and "treating" refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset, or inhibiting the progression of a disorder or disease described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms of a disease have developed or been observed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of signs or symptoms of a disorder. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible subject prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., based on a history of symptoms and / or exposure to a pathogen). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, e.g., to delay or prevent recurrence.

[0034] The terms "condition," "disease," and "disorder" are used interchangeably. An "effective amount" of a compound described herein refers to an amount sufficient to elicit a desired biological response. The effective amount of a compound described herein can vary depending on factors such as the desired biological endpoint, side effects, severity of the disease or disorder, the identity of the specific compound, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, the condition being treated, the mode, route, and desired or required frequency of administration, the species, age, and health or general condition of the subject. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is a therapeutically effective amount. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is a prophylactic treatment. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is a single dose of a compound described herein. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is the total amount of a compound described herein in multiple administrations. In certain embodiments, the desired dosage is delivered three times a day, twice a day, once a day, every other day, every other day, every week, every two weeks, every three weeks, or every four weeks. In certain embodiments, the desired dose is delivered using multiple administrations (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or more administrations).

[0035] A "therapeutically effective amount" of a compound described herein is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a condition or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound refers to an amount of a therapeutic agent that, alone or in combination with other therapies, provides a therapeutic effect in the treatment of a condition. The term "therapeutically effective amount" can encompass an amount that improves overall treatment, reduces or avoids symptoms, signs, or causes of a condition, and / or enhances the therapeutic effect of another therapeutic agent. In certain embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient to inhibit TYK2 / JAK1 / JAK2 kinase. In certain embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient to treat a skin disorder. In certain embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient to inhibit TYK2 / JAK1 / JAK2 kinase and treat a skin disorder.

[0036] Detailed Description of the Invention The present disclosure is based, at least in part, on the unexpected finding that compounds of Formulas (I)-(III) are selective TYK2 / JAK1 / JAK2 kinase inhibitors and exhibit good exposure in the skin but low exposure in plasma.

[0071] [Composition] The present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula (I)-(III), or a salt, solvate, hydrate, polymorph, co-crystal, tautomer, stereoisomer, isotopically labeled derivative, or prodrug thereof, and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein comprise a compound of Formula (I)-(III), or a salt, solvate, hydrate, polymorph, co-crystal, tautomer, stereoisomer, isotopically labeled derivative, or prodrug thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

[0072] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be prepared by any method well known in the art of pharmacy. Generally, such methods of preparation include bringing into association a compound described herein (i.e., the "active ingredient") with the carrier or excipient, and / or one or more other accessory ingredients, and then, if necessary and / or desirable, shaping and / or packaging the product into a desired single- or multi-dosage unit.

[0073] Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients used in the preparation of the provided pharmaceutical compositions include inert diluents, dispersing and / or granulating agents, surfactants and / or emulsifying agents, disintegrating agents, binders, preservatives, buffers, lubricants, and / or oils. Excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes, coloring agents, coating agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, and flavoring agents may also be present in the compositions.

[0074] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention include those suitable for oral, rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal and sublingual), vaginal, or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, and intradermal) administration. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the formulations herein are administered transdermally (for example, using a transdermal patch). Other formulations can be conveniently presented in unit dosage forms, such as tablets and sustained-release capsules, and liposomes, and can be prepared by any method well known in the art of pharmacy. See, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Philadelphia, PA (17th ed. 1985).

[0075] Such preparative methods include the step of bringing into association with the molecule a component to be administered, such as a carrier, which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredients with liquid carriers, liposomes or finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.

[0076] In certain preferred embodiments, compound is orally administered.The composition of the present invention suitable for oral administration can be presented in the form of individual units such as capsules, sachets or tablets, each containing a predetermined amount of active ingredient; as powder or granules; as a solution or suspension in aqueous liquid or non-aqueous liquid; or as oil-in-water liquid emulsion or water-in-oil liquid emulsion, or as liposome encapsulation, and as bolus.Soft gelatin capsules are useful for containing such suspensions, and can advantageously increase the absorption rate of compound.

[0077] Tablets can be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing the active ingredient in a free-flowing form, such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, surfactant, or dispersing agent, in a suitable machine. Molded tablets can be made by molding a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent in a suitable machine. The tablets can optionally be coated or scored and can be molded to provide a slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein. Methods for formulating such sustained- or controlled-release compositions of pharmaceutically active ingredients, such as the compounds described herein and other compounds known in the art, are well known in the art and are described in several issued U.S. patents, some of which include, but are not limited to, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,369,172 and 4,842,866, and the references cited therein. Coatings can be used to deliver compounds to the intestine (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 6,638,534, 5,217,720, 6,569,457, 6,461,631, 6,528,080, and 6,800,663, and references cited therein). A useful formulation of the compounds of the invention is in the form of enteric-coated pellets, in which the enteric layer comprises hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate.

[0078] For oral tablets, commonly used carriers include lactose and corn starch.Lubricants such as magnesium stearate are also commonly added.For oral administration in capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dry corn starch.For oral administration of aqueous suspension, active ingredient is combined with emulsifier and suspending agent.If desired, certain sweeteners and / or flavorings and / or colorings can be added.

[0079] Compositions suitable for topical administration include lozenges, which typically contain the ingredient in a flavored base, such as sucrose and acacia or tragacanth; and tablets, which contain the active ingredient in an inert base, such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia.

[0080] Compositions suitable for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostatic agents, and solutes that make the preparation isotonic with the patient's blood; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions, which may contain suspending agents and thickening agents.The preparations can be stored in single-dose or multi-dose containers, such as sealed ampoules and vials, in a lyophilized (freeze-dried) state, and only require the addition of sterile liquid carriers, such as water for injection, immediately before use.Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions can also be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets.

[0081] Such injections may be in the form of, for example, a sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. This suspension can be formulated using suitable dispersants or wetting agents (e.g., Tween 80, etc.) and suspending agents according to techniques known in the art. Sterile injectable preparations may also be sterile injectable solutions or suspensions in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, such as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among acceptable vehicles and solvents, mannitol, water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution can be used. Additionally, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally used as solvents or suspending media. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil can be employed, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives, are useful in the preparation of injections, as are pharmaceutically acceptable natural oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions may also contain long-chain alcohol diluents or dispersants.

[0082] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration.These compositions can be prepared by mixing the compound of the present invention with a suitable non-irritating excipient that is solid at room temperature but liquid at rectal temperature, thereby melting in the rectum and releasing the active ingredient.Such materials include, but are not limited to, cocoa butter, beeswax and polyethylene glycol.

[0083] The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be administered by nasal aerosol or inhalation. Such compositions are prepared according to techniques well known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation and may be prepared as a solution in saline using benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption enhancers to enhance bioavailability, fluorocarbons, and / or other solubilizing or dispersing agents well known in the art.

[0084] Topical administration of the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention is particularly useful when the desired treatment involves areas or organs easily accessible by topical application. For topical application to the skin, the pharmaceutical composition should be formulated in a suitable ointment containing the active ingredient suspended or dissolved in a carrier. Carriers for topical administration of the compounds of the present invention include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, liquid petroleum, white petroleum, propylene glycol, polyoxyethylene compounds, emulsifying wax, and water. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical composition can be formulated in a suitable lotion or cream containing the active compound suspended or dissolved in a carrier. Suitable carriers include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60, cetyl esters wax, cetearyl alcohol, 2-octyldodecanol, benzyl alcohol, and water. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can also be applied topically to the lower intestinal tract via a rectal suppository or suitable enema. Topical transdermal patches and iontophoretic administration are also included in the present invention.

[0085] Particularly preferred derivatives and prodrugs are those that increase the bioavailability of the compounds of the invention when such compounds are administered to a mammal (e.g., by making an orally administered compound more readily absorbed into the blood) or that enhance delivery of the parent compound to a biological compartment (e.g., the brain or central nervous system) relative to the parent species. Preferred prodrugs include derivatives in which groups that enhance water solubility or active transport across the intestinal membrane have been added to the structures of the formulas described herein.

[0090] Such agents are described in detail in the art. Preferably, the second therapeutic agent is an agent useful for treating or preventing a disease or condition selected from cancer and neoplastic diseases or disorders, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases or disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases or disorders.

[0091] In another embodiment, the present invention provides separate dosage forms of a compound of the present invention and a second therapeutic agent that are associated with each other. As used herein, the term "associated with each other" refers to the separate dosage forms being packaged together or otherwise attached to each other in a manner that makes it readily apparent that the separate dosage forms are intended to be sold together and administered together (within 24 hours of each other, sequentially or simultaneously).

[0092] In the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, the compound of the present invention is present in an effective amount. As used herein, the term "effective amount" refers to an amount that, when administered in a proper dosage regimen, is sufficient to reduce or ameliorate the severity, duration, or progression of the disorder being treated, prevent the progression of the disorder being treated, cause regression of the disorder being treated, or enhance or improve the prophylactic or therapeutic effects of other therapies.

[0093] The correlation of dosages for animals and humans (based on milligrams per square meter of body surface area) is described in Freireich et al. (1966) Cancer Chemother Rep 50:219. Body surface area can be roughly determined from the patient's height and weight. See, e.g., Scientific Tables, Geigy Pharmaceuticals, Ardley, NY, 1970, 537. Effective amounts of the compounds of the present invention may range from about 0.001 mg / kg to about 500 mg / kg, more preferably 0.01 mg / kg to about 50 mg / kg, and even more preferably 0.1 mg / kg to about 2.5 mg / kg. As recognized by those skilled in the art, effective dosages will also vary depending on the disease being treated, the severity of the disease, the route of administration, the patient's sex, age, and general health, the amount of excipients used, the possibility of concurrent use of other therapeutic treatments, such as the use of other drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician.

[0094] In pharmaceutical compositions containing a second therapeutic agent, the effective amount of the second therapeutic agent is about 20% to 100% of the dosage typically used in monotherapy using only that agent. Preferably, the effective amount is about 70% to 100% of the typical monotherapy dose. Typical monotherapy doses of these second therapeutic agents are well known in the art. See, for example, Wells et al., eds., Pharmacotherapy Handbook, 2nd Edition, Appleton and Lange, Stamford, Conn. (2000); PDR Pharmacopoeia, Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2000, Deluxe Edition, Tarascon Publishing, Loma Linda, Calif. (2000), the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0095] [Treatment Method] As generally described herein, the present disclosure provides a method for treating a skin disorder (or a symptom thereof), comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure, or a salt, solvate, hydrate, polymorph, cocrystal, tautomer, stereoisomer, isotopically labeled derivative or prodrug thereof, or a composition comprising an effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure, or a salt, solvate, hydrate, polymorph, cocrystal, tautomer, stereoisomer, isotopically labeled derivative or prodrug thereof. Such a method can be performed in vivo (i.e., by administration to a subject) or in vitro (e.g., by contact with tissue or cell culture). As used herein, treating includes therapeutic treatment. In certain embodiments, the subject is identified as a subject in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the method further comprises treating the subject; i.e., improving the disease, disorder, or its symptoms.

[0096] In certain embodiments, the effective amount is a therapeutically effective amount. For example, in certain embodiments, the method slows the progression of a skin disorder in a subject. In certain embodiments, the method improves the condition of a subject suffering from a skin disorder. In certain embodiments, the subject is suspected or confirmed to have a skin disorder.

[0097] Exemplary skin disorders include, but are not limited to, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, urticaria, alopecia areata, vitiligo, hidradenitis pustulosis, hand eczema, lipoid necrolysis, chronic graft-versus-host disease of the non-sclerosing skin, digital dermatitis, or lichen planus.

[0098] In certain embodiments, the skin disorder is regulated by the JAK-STAT pathway. In certain embodiments, the skin disorder is regulated by JAK1. In certain embodiments, the skin disorder is regulated by JAK2. In certain embodiments, the skin disorder is regulated by TYK2. In certain embodiments, the skin disorder is regulated by any combination of TYK2, JAK1, and JAK2.
