Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] (CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 391,972, filed July 25, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The present disclosure relates generally to compounds and compositions, and methods for their preparation and use to bind IRAK3. [Background technology]
[0003] The recruitment of immune cells to the site of injury involves the coordinated interaction of multiple soluble mediators. Several cytokines, including interleukin-1 (IL-1), appear to play important roles in these processes. IL-1 triggers proinflammatory responses and is involved in the tissue degeneration seen in chronic inflammatory states. IL-1 is also involved in the process of bone resorption and the regulation of adipose tissue. Thus, IL-1 plays an important role in many pathologies, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and sepsis.
[0004] Treatment of cells with IL-1 induces the formation of a complex consisting of two IL-1 receptor chains, IL-1R1 and IL-1RAcP. The resulting heterodimer recruits an adaptor molecule called MyD88 and binds to IL-1 receptor-associated kinases (IRAKs) (Wesche et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1999, 274, 19403-19410; O'Neill et al., J. Leukoc. Biol. 1998, 63, 650-657; Auron, Cytokine Growth Factor Rev. 1998, 9:221-237; and O'Neill, Biochem. Soc. Trans. 2000, 28, 557-563). Four members of the IRAK family have been identified: IRAK1, IRAK2, IRAK3, and IRAK4. These proteins are characterized by a typical N-terminal death domain and a centrally located kinase domain that mediates interactions with adaptor proteins of the MyD88 family. Among the four members of the mammalian IRAK family, IRAK2 and IRAK3 are thought to be catalytically inactive pseudokinases (Wesche et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1999, 274, 19403-19410), but the detailed roles of these two kinases remain largely unknown (Lagne et al., Structure 2021, 29, 238-251). However, IRAK3 has been reported to be involved in the negative regulation of TLR (toll-like receptor) signaling, which is involved in microbial detection and infection prevention in multicellular organisms. Furthermore, recent studies have revealed that IRAK3 mutations and high expression levels are associated with various diseases, including asthma and cancer (Balaci et al., J. Hum. Genet. 2007, 80 (6), 1103-1114; Kesselring et al., Cancer Cell 2016, 29 (5), 685-696), suggesting the potential of IRAK3 as a drug target and the need for small molecule compounds that bind to IRAK3.
[0005] Thus, in one embodiment, provided herein are compounds that bind to IRAK3.

[0085] [Table 1-1] [Table 1-2] The compound is a compound of Table 1 above or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[0086] It is understood that combinations of substituents and / or variables of the depicted formulae herein are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.
[0087] Furthermore, all compounds of formula (I) that exist in free base or acid form can be converted into their pharmaceutically acceptable salts by treatment with an appropriate inorganic or organic base or acid by methods known to those skilled in the art. Salts of compounds of formula (I) can be converted into their free base or acid form by standard techniques.
[0088] Synthesis method The compounds described herein can be prepared using conventional organic synthesis methods and commercially available starting materials, or using the methods provided herein. By way of example and not limitation, compounds of formula (I) can be prepared as outlined in Schemes 1-4, as well as in the Examples described herein. It should be noted that one skilled in the art would know how to modify the methods described in the illustrative Schemes and Examples to obtain the desired products.
[0089] Scheme 1 [ka] wherein Pg is a protecting group; X and ring A are as described for formula (I); and R is 0 to 5 substituents selected from C-C alkyl, C-C haloalkyl, C-C alkoxy, halo, -OH, and -CN.
[0090] As outlined in Scheme 1, compounds of general formula A can be synthesized by coupling intermediate a and intermediate b to generate intermediate C. In some instances, intermediate a and intermediate b can be coupled to form intermediate c using acid- or base-promoted aromatic nucleophilic substitution. Alternatively, intermediate c can be synthesized using a Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling (Ruiz-Castillo, P. and Buchwald, SL Chemical Reviews, 116:12564-12649, 2016). Intermediate c can then undergo a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling (Miyaura, N. and Suzuki, A. Chemical Reviews, 95:2457-2483, 1995) with an appropriate boronic acid or ester, followed by acid-promoted deprotection to provide compounds of general formula A. In some cases, preparation of compound A also includes removal of a protecting group (e.g., CBz) using, for example, reductive conditions.
[0091] Scheme 2 [ka] wherein Pg is a protecting group; X and ring A are as described for formula (I); and n is an integer of 1, 2, 3, or 4.
[0092] As outlined in Scheme 2, compounds of general formula B containing cycloalkyl substituents on the imidazopyrazine scaffold can be synthesized by Suzuki cross-coupling of intermediate c and the corresponding alkenylboronic acid pinacol ester (intermediate d) to produce the styrenyl intermediate (e), which can then be subjected to palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation followed by removal of the protecting group to afford compounds of general formula B.
[0093] Scheme 3 [ka] wherein X and ring A are as described for formula (I).
[0094] Compounds of general formula C containing unsubstituted imidazopyrazines can be synthesized from the reduction of the corresponding aryl bromides as outlined in Scheme 3. Treatment of the benzyl carbamate-protected intermediate e with palladium on carbon under a hydrogen gas atmosphere provides the unsubstituted imidazopyrazines exemplified by compounds of general formula C. Scheme 4 [ka] wherein R is 0 to 5 substituents selected from C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 haloalkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, halo, -OH, and -CN; R' is C1-C6 alkyl; R'' is C1-C5 alkyl; and X and ring A are as described for formula (I).
[0095] Compounds of general formula A can be further functionalized via amide bond formation or reductive amination to produce compounds of general formula D or E, as outlined in Scheme 4. Treatment of compounds of general formula A with a carboxylic acid, HATU, and DIPEA provides amide-protected derivatives of general formula D. Alkyl-protected compounds of general formula E can be prepared by reacting compounds of general formula A with a suitable reducing agent (e.g., an aldehyde and STAB).
