【0003】 甲状腺機能亢進症または甲状腺機能低下症の患者をT3/T4内因性リガンドまたはこれらの内因性リガンドの初期類似体で治療することによって生じる有益な効果が、文献に記載されている(Richardson Hill Jr., S. et al. J. Clin. Invest. 1960, 39, 523-533)。これらの初期の研究、および同様の追随する研究では、甲状腺機能亢進症と甲状腺機能低下症の両方の副作用の発現する主要な器官として、心臓が示された(Klein, I. et al. Circulation, 2007, 1725-1735)。特に、頻脈、肥大症、心房性不整脈、および心房細動は、深刻な懸念事項である。さらに、骨ミネラル密度の低下につながる骨代謝の増加も注目されている。心臓と骨の両方の部位でのネガティブな効果は、THRアルファアイソフォームのアゴニズムに関連しており、一方、肝臓でのTHRアゴニズムの有益な効果は、主にTHRベータアイソフォームに関連している(Sinha, R. A. et al. Nat. Rev. Endocrinology 2018, 14, 259-269)。

[Technical Field]
[0001] Cross-reference of related applications This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 891,078, filed on 23 August 2019, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 967,943, filed on 30 January 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0002] Field of the present invention The present invention relates to compounds, preferably thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR beta) agonist compounds, compositions thereof, methods for producing the same, methods for agonizing THR beta, and methods for treating THR beta-mediated disorders. [Background technology]
[0003] Beneficial effects resulting from treating patients with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism with T3 / T4 endogenous ligands or early analogues of these endogenous ligands have been documented in the literature (Richardson Hill Jr., S. et al. J. Clin. Invest. 1960, 39, 523-533). These early studies, and similar follow-up studies, have shown the heart to be the primary organ where side effects of both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism manifest (Klein, I. et al. Circulation, 2007, 1725-1735). In particular, tachycardia, hypertrophy, atrial arrhythmias, and atrial fibrillation are serious concerns. Furthermore, increased bone metabolism leading to decreased bone mineral density has also been noted. Negative effects in both the heart and bone are associated with agonism of the THR alpha isoform, while beneficial effects of THR agonism in the liver are primarily associated with the THR beta isoform (Sinha, RA et al. Nat. Rev. Endocrinology 2018, 14, 259-269).
[0004] Diseases or disorders associated with THR beta include non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypercholesterolemia. There is a need for thyroid hormone analogs, such as THR beta agonists, that avoid the undesirable effects of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism while maintaining the beneficial effects of thyroid hormones, for example, for the treatment of patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In particular, there is a need to develop novel thyroid hormone analogs that are selective agonists of THR beta, preferably that avoid the undesirable effects associated with THR alpha agonism while maintaining the beneficial effects of thyroid hormones, for example, for the treatment of patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, or hypercholesterolemia.

[0019] An "isotopic isomer" of a compound is a compound in which one or more atoms of the compound are replaced with isotopes of the same atoms. For example, when H is replaced with D or T, 12 C is 11 replaced with C, or 14 N is 15In some cases, N may be substituted. For example, but not limited to this, substituting with D may, in some cases, result in a decrease in metabolic rate and a longer half-life. Substituting H with T may provide a radioligand that could be useful for binding studies. 12 C is a short-lived isotope 11 Replacing it with C can provide a ligand useful for positron emission tomography (PET) scans. 14 N 15 If we replace it with N, 15 Compounds that can be detected / monitored by N-NMR spectroscopy are provided. For example, an isotopic isomer of a compound containing -CH2CH3 is a compound containing -CD2CD3 instead of -CH2CH3.

For example, “the nitrogen atom may, optionally, be oxidized to provide an N-oxide (N→O) moiety” means that the nitrogen atom can be oxidized, but does not have to be oxidized, and this description includes both the situation in which the nitrogen atom is not oxidized and the situation in which the nitrogen atom is oxidized.
[0033] "Optionally substituted" means, unless otherwise specified, that the group may be unsubstituted, or may be substituted by one or more substituents (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) listed for the group, which may be identical or different, as long as they do not exceed the normal valency of the group. In one embodiment, the optionally substituted group has one substituent. In another embodiment, the optionally substituted group has two substituents.

[0034] Unless otherwise specified, the nomenclature of substituents not explicitly defined herein is done by naming the terminal portion of the functional group, followed by the functional groups adjacent to the bond site. For example, the substituent "alkoxycarbonylalkyl" means a group represented by (alkoxy)-C(O)-(alkyl)-.
[0035] It is understood that polymers formed by defining substituents that have further substituents on themselves in all the substituted groups defined above (e.g., substituted aryls having substituted aryl groups as substituents that themselves are substituted with substituted aryl groups) are not intended to be included here. In such cases, the maximum number of such substituents is three. That is, each of the above definitions is constrained, for example, by the restriction that the substituted aryl group is limited to -substituted aryl-(substituted aryl)-substituted aryl.
[0036] It should be understood that the above definition is not intended to include unacceptable substitution patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with four fluoro groups). Such unacceptable substitution patterns are well known to those skilled in the art.
[0037] It is understood that certain features of the Invention described in the context of a different embodiment for clarification may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, for brevity, various features of the Invention described in the context of a single embodiment may also be provided in another or any suitable subcombination.
