Thyroid hormone analog prodrugs and uses thereof
[0001] Reference to Related Applications
[0002] This disclosure claims the entire benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 202411008314.6, filed on July 25, 2024, entitled “Thyroid hormone analog prodrugs and uses thereof,” which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0003] TECHNICAL FIELD
[0004] The present disclosure relates to thyroid hormone derivative prodrugs, methods of making, and uses thereof.
[0005] BACKGROUND
[0006] Thyroid hormones are essential for normal growth and development and for maintaining metabolic balance (Paul M. Yen Physiological Review, Vol. 81(3): pp. 1097-1126 (2001)). Circulating levels of thyroid hormones are tightly regulated by feedback mechanisms of the hypothalamus / pituitary / thyroid (HPT) axis. Thyroid dysfunction leading to hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism clearly demonstrates that thyroid hormones have profound effects on cardiac function, body weight, metabolism, metabolic rate, body temperature, cholesterol, bone, muscle, and behavior. The major thyroid receptor isoforms are α1, α2, β1, and β2. Thyroid hormone receptors α1, β1, and β2 bind thyroid hormone. The thyroid hormone receptor subtypes can differ in their contribution to specific physiological responses. Recent studies have shown that TRβ1 plays an important role in the liver in mediating the effects of TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone) and mediating thyroid hormone. TRβ2 plays a major role in mediating TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) (Abel et al., J. Clin. Invest., Vol. 104: pp. 291-300 (1999)). TRβ1 plays an important role in mediating heart rate (B. Gloss et al., Endocrinology, Vol. 142: pp. 544-550 (2001); C. Johansson et al., Am. J. Physiol., Vol. 275: pp. R640-R646 (1998)).

[0031] Detailed Explanation
[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Dashes at the beginning or end of chemical groups are for convenience in indicating the connection point with the parent molecule; chemical groups may or may not be described with one or more dashes without losing their ordinary meaning. Prefixes such as "C" u-v "or"C u -C v "This indicates that the following groups have u to v carbon atoms, where u and v are integers. For example, "C 1-6 "alkyl" or "C1-C6 alkyl" indicates that the alkyl group has 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
[0033] "Alkyl" is a monovalent or divalent straight-chain or branched saturated hydrocarbon group. For example, alkyl groups can have 1 to 30 carbon atoms (i.e., C64-C ... 1-30 Alkyl groups or 1 to 10 carbon atoms (i.e., C14) 1-10 Alkyl groups or 1 to 8 carbon atoms (i.e., C64) 1-8 Alkyl groups or 1 to 6 carbon atoms (i.e., C64) 1-6 Alkyl groups or 1 to 4 carbon atoms (i.e., C46) 1-4Examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to: methyl (Me, -CH3), ethyl (Et, -CH2CH3), 1 -propyl (n-Pr, n-propyl, -CH2CH3), 2-propyl (i-Pr, i-Propyl, -CH(CH3)2), 1 -butyl (n-Bu, n-butyl, -CH2CH2CH3), 2-methyl-1 -propyl (i-Bu, i-Bu, i-butyl, -CH2CH(CH3)2), 2-butyl (s-Bu, s-butyl, -CH(CH3)CH2CH3), 2-methyl-2-propyl (t-Bu, t-butyl, -C(CH3)3), 1-pentyl (n-pentyl, -CH2CH2CH2CH3), 2-pentyl (-CH(CH3)CH2CH3), 3-pentyl (-CH(CH2CH3)2), 2-methyl-2-butyl (-C(CH3)2CH2CH3), 3-methyl-2-butyl (-CH(CH3)CH(CH3)2), 3-methyl-1 -butyl (-CH2CH2CH(CH3)2), 2-methyl-1 -butyl (-CH2CH(CH3)CH2CH3), 1-hexyl (-CH2CH2CH2CH3), 2-hexyl (-CH(CH3)CH2CH2CH3), 3-hexyl (-CH(CH2CH3)(CH2CH2CH3)), 2-methyl-2-pentyl (-C(CH3)2CH2CH2CH3), 3-methyl-2-pentyl (-CH(CH3)CH(CH3)CH2CH3), 4-methyl-2-pentyl (-CH(CH3)CH2CH(CH3)2), 3-methyl-3-pentyl (-C(CH3)(CH2CH3)2), 2-methyl-3-pentyl (-CH(CH2CH3)CH(CH3)2), 2,3-dimethyl-2-butyl (-C(CH3)2CH(CH3)2), 3,3-dimethyl-2-butyl (-CH(CH3)C(CH3)3, and octyl (-(CH2)7CH3). Alkyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted.
[0034] "Alkenyl" is a monovalent or divalent straight or branched chain hydrocarbon group having at least one carbon-carbon double bond. For example, an alkenyl group can have 2 to 30 carbon atoms (i.e., C2-30alkenyl), or 2 to 10 carbon atoms (i.e., C2-10alkenyl), or 2 to 8 carbon atoms (i.e., C2-8alkenyl), or 2 to 6 carbon atoms (i.e., C2-6alkenyl), or 2 to 4 carbon atoms (i.e., C2-4alkenyl). Examples of alkenyl groups include, but are not limited to, ethylenyl (i.e., -CH=CH2), propylenyl (i.e., -CH=CHCH3), butylenyl (i.e., -CH=CHCH2CH3), and the like. 2-30 Alkenyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted. 2-10 Alkenyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted. 2-8 Alkenyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted. 2-6 Alkenyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted. 2-4"Alkenyl" refers to a monovalent or divalent straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon group having at least one carbon-carbon double bond. For example, an alkenyl group can have 2 to 30 carbon atoms (i.e., C
[0035] "Alkynyl" refers to a monovalent or divalent straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon group having at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. For example, an alkynyl group can have 2 to 30 carbon atoms (i.e., C 2-30 or 2 to 10 carbon atoms (i.e., C 2-10 or 2 to 8 carbon atoms (i.e., C 2-8 or 2 to 6 carbon atoms (i.e., C 2-6 or 2 to 4 carbon atoms (i.e., C 2-4 Alkynyl groups include, but are not limited to, ethynyl (-CºCH), propynyl (-CH2CºCH), and -CH2-CºC-CH3. Alkynyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted.
[0036] "Alkoxyalkyl" is an alkoxy group attached to an alkyl group as defined above, such that the alkyl group is divalent. For example, C 2-6 Alkoxyalkyl groups include -CH2-OMe, -CH2-O-iPr, -CH2-CH2-OMe, -CH2-CH2-O-CH2-CH3, and -CH2-CH2-O-tBu. Alkoxyalkyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted.
[0037] "Halogen" refers to fluorine (-F), chlorine (-Cl), bromine (-Br), and iodine (-I).
[0038] "Haloalkyl" is an alkyl group as defined herein, wherein one or more of the hydrogen atoms of the alkyl group are independently replaced with a halogen, which can be the same or different, such that the alkyl group is divalent. The alkyl group and the halogen can be any of those described above. In some embodiments, the haloalkyl defines the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl portion, e.g., C 1-4 Haloalkyl groups include CF3, CH2F, CHF2, CH2CF3, CH2CH2CF3, CCl2CH2CH3, and C(CH3)2(CF2H). Haloalkyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted.
[0039] "Aryl" means a monovalent or divalent mono- or polycyclic all-carbon aromatic ring system, wherein the ring is aromatic. For example, in some embodiments, an aryl group has 6 to 20 carbon atoms, 6 to 14 carbon atoms, 6 to 12 carbon atoms, or 6 to 10 carbon atoms. Aryl includes a phenyl group. Aryl also includes polycyclic ring systems having about 9 to 20 carbon atoms (e.g., ring systems composed of 2, 3, or 4 rings), wherein the rings are aromatic. Where valence permits, the rings of the polycyclic ring system can be connected to each other through a fused bond. It is also understood that when referring to an aryl group as a member of an atomic range (e.g., aryl groups of 6-10 members), the atomic range refers to the total ring atoms of the aryl group. For example, a 6-membered aryl group includes a phenyl group, and a 10-membered aryl group includes a naphthyl group. Non-limiting examples of aryl groups include, but are not limited to, phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl, and the like. An aryl group can be unsubstituted or substituted.
[0040] "5-10 membered heteroaryl" refers to a single aromatic ring having at least one atom in the ring that is not carbon, wherein the atom is selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur; "5-10 membered heteroaryl" also includes multiple condensed ring systems having at least one such aromatic ring, which are further described below. Thus, "5-10 membered heteroaryl" includes a single aromatic ring of about 1-6 carbon atoms and about 1-4 heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur in the ring. The sulfur and nitrogen atoms can also exist in oxidized forms, so long as the ring is aromatic. Exemplary 5-10 membered heteroaryl ring systems include, but are not limited to, pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, oxazolyl, or furanyl. "5-10 membered heteroaryl" also includes multiple condensed ring systems (e.g., ring systems composed of 2, 3, or 4 rings) in which a 5-10 membered heteroaryl as defined above is condensed with one or more rings selected from 5-10 membered heteroaryl (forming, for example, 1,8-naphthyridinyl) and aryl (forming, for example, benzimidazolyl or indazolyl), forming a multiple condensed ring system. Thus, a 5-10 membered heteroaryl (either a single aromatic ring or a multiple condensed ring system) can have about 1-20 carbon atoms, with about 1-6 heteroatoms in the 5-10 membered heteroaryl ring. For example, tetrazolyl has 1 carbon atom and 4 nitrogen heteroatoms in the ring. Where valence permits, the rings of a multiple condensed ring system can be connected to one another through a fused bond. It will be appreciated that the individual rings of a multiple condensed ring system can be connected to one another in any order. It will be appreciated that the point of attachment of a 5-10 membered heteroaryl or 5-10 membered heteroaryl multiple condensed ring system can be any suitable atom of the 5-10 membered heteroaryl or 5-10 membered heteroaryl multiple condensed ring system, including carbon atoms and heteroatoms (e.g., nitrogen). It will also be appreciated that when referring to a membered heteroaryl of a certain range of atoms (e.g., 5 to 10 membered heteroaryl), the range of atoms is with respect to the total ring atoms of the heteroaryl, including both carbon atoms and heteroatoms. It will also be appreciated that the rings of a multiple condensed ring system can include an aryl ring fused to a heterocyclic ring (e.g., 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 membered ring) having saturated or partially unsaturated bonds, the ring having about 1 to 6 ring carbon atoms and about 1 to 3 ring heteroatoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur in the ring. For example, 5-10 membered heteroaryl includes thiazolyl, 5-10 membered heteroaryl includes quinolinyl. Exemplary 5-10 membered heteroaryl includes, but is not limited to, pyridyl, pyrrolyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazolyl, thienyl, indolyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, furanyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, benzothiazolyl, benzoxazolyl, indazolyl, quinoxazolyl, quinazolinyl, benzofuranyl, benzimidazolyl, thiophenyl, pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridyl, quinazolin-4(3H)-one, triazolyl, and tetrazolyl. A 5-10 membered heteroaryl can be unsubstituted or substituted.
[0041] "Cycloalkyl" is a monovalent or divalent single fully carbon ring or multiple condensed fully carbon ring system in which the ring in each instance is a non-aromatic saturated or unsaturated ring. For example, in some embodiments, cycloalkyl has 3 to 12 carbon atoms, 3 to 10 carbon atoms, 3 to 8 carbon atoms, 3 to 6 carbon atoms, 3 to 5 carbon atoms, or 3 to 4 carbon atoms. Exemplary monocyclic cycloalkyl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloheptyl, cycloheptenyl, and cyclooctyl. Cycloalkyl also includes multiple condensed ring systems (e.g., ring systems including 2 rings) having about 7 to 12 carbon atoms. Where valence permits, the rings of a multiple condensed ring system can be connected to one another by a fused bond, a spiro bond, or a bridged bond. Exemplary polycyclic cycloalkyl groups include octahydro-pentene, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, bicyclo[2.2]oct-2-ene, and spiro[2.5]octane. Cycloalkyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted.
[0042] "Heterocycle" or "heterocyclyl" as used herein means a single saturated or partially unsaturated non-aromatic ring or non-aromatic multiple ring system in which at least one of the ring atoms is a heteroatom (i.e., at least one ring-forming atom is selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur). Unless otherwise specified, a heterocyclyl group has from 3 to about 20 ring atoms, for example, 3 to 12 ring atoms, for example, 4 to 12 ring atoms, 4 to 10 ring atoms, or 3 to 8 ring atoms, or 3 to 6 ring atoms, or 4 to 6 ring atoms, or 4 to 5 ring atoms. Thus, the term includes single saturated or partially unsaturated rings having from about 1 to 6 ring carbon atoms and from about 1 to 3 ring heteroatoms, the ring heteroatoms being selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Where valence permits, the rings of a multiple condensed ring (e.g., bicyclic heterocycle) system can be connected to one another by a fused bond, a spiro bond, and a bridged bond. Heterocycles include, but are not limited to, azepine, aziridine, imidazolidine, morpholine, oxirane, oxepine, thiepine, piperazine, piperidine, pyrazolidine, pyrrolidine, pyrrolidine, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrothiophene, dihydro-pyridine, tetrahydropyridine, quinuclidine, 2-oxo-6-azaspiro[3.3]heptane-6-yl, 6-oxa-l-azaspiro[3.3]heptane-l-yl, 2-thia-6-azaspiro[3.3]heptane-6-yl, 2,6-diazaspiro[3.3]heptane-2-yl, 2-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2-yl, 3-azabicyclo[3.0]hexyl, 2-azabicyclo[2.1.1]hexyl, 2-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-yl, 4-azaspiro[2.4]heptyl, 5-azaspiro[2.4]heptyl, and the like. Heterocyclyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted.
[0043] As used herein, "substituted" means that one or more hydrogen atoms of a group are independently replaced with one or more substituents (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or 4 or more) with the proviso that the substituents are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heteroalicyclic, hydroxy, protected hydroxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, thiohydroxy, alkylthio, arylthio, cyano, halo, carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, O-carbamyl, N-carbamyl, O-thiocarbamyl, N-thiocarbamyl, C-amido, N-amido, S-sulfonamido, N-sulfonamido, C-carboxy, protected C-carboxy, O-carboxy, isocyanate, thiocyanate, isothiocyanate, nitro, silyl, trihalomethanesulfonyl, -NR'R" (R' and R" are alkyl as defined in this disclosure), or protected amino.
[0044] "Optionally" or "optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or can not occur, and encompasses the two instances in which the event or circumstance occurs and in which it does not.
[0045] "Optionally substituted" means that the group can or can not be substituted and, unless otherwise specified, the types and number of substituents are any that are chemically possible. For example, "optionally (option) substituted alkyl substituted with halo or cyano" includes instances in which the alkyl is substituted with halo or cyano and instances in which the alkyl is not substituted with halo or cyano.
[0046] It is understood that the phrase "optionally substituted" is used interchangeably with the phrase "substituted or unsubstituted." Unless otherwise indicated, an optionally substituted group can have a substituent at each substitutable position independent of any other substituents; and when more than one position in any given structure can be substituted with more than one substituent selected from a specified group, the substituent can be either the same or different at every position.
[0047] "Compounds of the disclosure" include the compounds disclosed herein, e.g., the compounds of the disclosure include the compounds of Formula I, including the compounds of the Examples. In some embodiments, "compounds of the disclosure" include the compounds of Formula I.
[0048] "Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" includes, but is not limited to, any adjuvant, carrier, excipient, lubricant, sweetening, diluent, preservative, dye / colorant, flavor-enhancing, surfactant, wetting agent, dispersing agent, suspending agent, stabilizer, isotonic agent, solvent, or emulsor that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as being acceptable for use in humans or domestic animals.
[0049] As used herein, "therapeutic effective amount" or "effective amount" means an amount that effectively elicits the desired biological or medical response, including, when administered to a subject treating a disease, an amount sufficient to affect the treatment of that disease. Effective amounts will vary depending on the compound, the disease and its severity, and factors such as the age and weight of the subject being treated. Effective amounts can include a range of amounts. As understood in the art, an effective amount can be one or more doses, meaning that one or more doses may be required to achieve the desired therapeutic endpoint. An effective amount can be considered when administering one or more therapeutic agents, and if, when used with one or more other agents, a desired or beneficial result may have been achieved, the single agent may be considered to have been administered at an effective amount. Due to the combined effects of compounds (e.g., additive or synergistic effects), the appropriate dose of any co-administered compound may be selectively reduced.
[0050] As used herein, "co-administration" means administering a unit dose of the disclosed compound before or after administration of a unit dose of one or more additional therapeutic agents, for example, administering the disclosed compound within seconds, minutes, or hours after administration of one or more additional therapeutic agents. For example, in some embodiments, a unit dose of the disclosed compound is administered first, followed by a unit dose of one or more additional therapeutic agents within seconds or minutes. Alternatively, in other embodiments, a unit dose of one or more additional therapeutic agents is administered first, followed by a unit dose of the disclosed compound within seconds or minutes. In some embodiments, a unit dose of the disclosed compound is administered first, followed by a unit dose of one or more additional therapeutic agents several hours later (e.g., 1-12 hours). In other embodiments, a unit dose of one or more additional therapeutic agents is administered first, followed by a unit dose of the disclosed compound several hours later (e.g., 1-12 hours). Co-administration of the disclosed compound with one or more additional therapeutic agents generally means administering the disclosed compound and one or more additional therapeutic agents simultaneously or sequentially, such that a therapeutically effective amount of each agent is present in the subject.
[0051] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solutions, isomers, polymorphs, and prodrugs of the compounds described herein are also provided.
[0052] "Pharmaceutically acceptable" or "physiologically acceptable" refers to compounds, salts, compositions, dosage forms, and other materials that are useful in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions suitable for veterinary or human use.
[0053] The compounds described herein can be prepared and / or formulated as pharmaceutically acceptable salts or, where appropriate, as the free base. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are non-toxic salts of the free base forms of the compounds which are
[0054] Examples of "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" of the compounds disclosed herein also include salts derived from the appropriate base, such as an alkali metal (for example, sodium and potassium), an alkaline earth (for example, magnesium), ammonium and N(Ci-C4alkyl)4ammonium. 4+ Base addition salts, such as sodium or potassium salts, are also included.
[0055] Also provided are compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, isomers, or mixtures thereof described herein, wherein from 1 to n hydrogen atoms attached to a carbon atom can be replaced with deuterium atoms or D, wherein n is the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule. As is known in the art, a deuterium atom is a non-radioactive isotope of a hydrogen atom. Such compounds can increase resistance to metabolism, and thus can be useful to increase the half-life of a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, isomer, or mixture thereof described herein when administered to a mammal. See "Foster, "Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism", Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 5(12):524-527 (1984)". Such compounds are synthesized by methods well known in the art, for example, using starting materials in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium.
