[0001] GUT-DIRECTED INHIBITORS OF NLRP3 ACTIVITY AND THERAPEUTIC USES THEREOF CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority and benefits to International Patent Application No. PCT / CN2024 / 109507, filed on August 2, 2024, and Application No. PCT / CN2025 / 076802, filed on February 11, 2025, the disclosures of both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE This application relates to pyridazine compounds and analogues as modulators of cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-18, or NLRP3, and their methods of preparation and therapeutic uses. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (or NOD-like receptors, NLRs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors (PPRs), acting as intracellular sensors of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage- or danger- associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). NLRP3 can be activated by a large assortment of stimuli. Accumulating evidence indicates that NLRs play important roles in innate immune responses against infection and cellular damages. Among numerous NOD-like receptors, Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat receptor and pyrin-domain containing protein 3 (NLRP3) has been wellcharacterized to form inflammasome involving its oligomers which recruits theadaptor protein apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase activation and recruitment domain (ASC) and the effector zymogen pro-caspase-1. The formation of NLRP3 inflammasome activates caspase-1, which in turn catalyzes proteolytic reactions, releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-lβ) and IL- 18 [Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2013, 13(6):397-411]. NLRP3 inflammasome activation also leads to cleavage of Gasdermin D (GSDMD) which causes pyroptosis, a rapid and pro- inflammatory form of cell death resulting from membrane pore-forming fragments from GSDMD. It has been shown that dysregulated NLRP3 inflammasome activation contributes to the pathogenesis of several human diseases. Most notably, gain-of- function mutations in NLRP3 cause hereditary diseases such as Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS). In addition, aberrant activation of NLRP3 inf1ammasomes exacerbates chronic human diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders (multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease), metabolic ailments (atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes), and inflammatory diseases (gout flares and osteoarthritis). More recently, roles of NLRP3 in the initiation and progression of cancers have been documented [Nat. Immunol. 2021, 22(5):550-559]. A few biologic therapies targeting NLRP3 / IL-1β innate immunity pathway have been approved. They include Anakinra (recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist), Canakinumab (a human monoclonal antibody targeting IL-1β), and Rilonacept (a soluble decoy receptor that binds both IL-1β and IL-1α and prevents their interaction with cell surface receptors). Findings from the CANTOS study, where treatment with Canakinumab resulted in a significantly lower rate of recurrent cardiovascular events, demonstrating a clear benefit of targeting inflammation in high-risk patients with cardiovascular diseases. Targeting NLRP3 activation by small molecules is also feasible as exemplified by CRID3 (also known as MCC950). The direct binding of CRID3 with full-length NLRP3 and one of its analogs with NACHT domain of NLRP3 have been demonstrated by cryo-EM or X-ray crystal structures [Nature 2022, 604:184-189; J. Mol. Biol. 2021, 433(24);167309]. Potential benefits of targeting NLRP3 using specific small molecule inhibitors instead of targeting IL-1β using biologics include sparing the other IL-1β producing inflammasomes with specific NLRP3 inhibitors and typically much shorter half-life of small molecule drugs compared to biologics (for example, the half-life of Canakinumab in humans is 28 days). The latter enables quick withdrawal when needed, for example, in the event of an infection. Inhibition of the NLRP3 / IL- lβ innate immunity pathway via small molecule modulators may be a useful and practical approach to treat and prevent many diseases [Na. Rev. Drug Disco.2018, 18(5):1141-1160; Pharmacol. Rev. 2021, 73:968-1000]. This list includes, but not limited to, hereditary diseases (Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome, CAPS), neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, traumatic brain injury), metabolic ailments (atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes), inflammatory diseases (gout flares and osteoarthritis), cancer, among other related human diseases. NLRP3 inhibitors may have a role in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis [Front Immunol. 2019, 10:276]. A gut- restricted NLPR3 inhibitor may have advantages over systemic NLRP3 inhibitor in this application. Therefore, gut-restricted NLRP3 inhibitors may have practical utility in treating human diseases. Various pyridazine derivatives or analogs have been disclosed to be NLRP3 inhibitors.

The term “oxo group” refers to a =O group. The term “carboxyl” refers to a -C(O)OH group. The term “alkoxycarbonyl” refers to a -C(O)O(alkyl) group. The term “alkylcarbonyl” refers to a -C(O)-alkyl group. The term “optional” or “optionally” means that the event or circumstance described subsequently can, but need not, occur, and the description includes the instances in which the event or circumstance may or may not occur. For example, “the heterocyclyl group optionally substituted by an alkyl” means that an alkyl group can be, but need not be, present, and the description includes the case of the heterocyclyl group being substituted with an alkyl and the heterocyclyl group being not substituted with an alkyl. The term “substituted” refers to one or more hydrogen atoms in the group, preferably up to 5, more preferably 1 to 3 hydrogen atom(s), independently substituted with a corresponding number of substituents. The person skilled in the art is able to determine if the substitution is possible or impossible without paying excessive efforts by experiment or theory. For example, the combination of amino or hydroxyl group having free hydrogen and carbon atoms having unsaturated bonds (such as olefinic) may be unstable. The term “covalent bonding principle”, as used herein, refers to those basic rules and principles in formation of covalent bonds in an organic compound, as generally understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art. For example, a carbon atom is tetravalent and can form only four covalent bonds (e.g., four single bonds, or a double bond plus two single bonds, etc.), an oxygen is divalent and can only form two covalent bonds (two single bond in -O-, or a double bond in =O). In some embodiments, when an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, heteroaryl group, or the like, or a moiety thereof, is substituted, the substituent group(s) can be substituted at any available connection point(s), and the substituents can be one or more, sometimes preferably 1 to 5, and sometimes more preferably 1 to 3, group(s) independently selected from C1-C6alkyl, halogen, C1-C6alkoxy, C1-C6alkenyl, C1-C6alkynyl, C1-C6alkylthio, C1-C6 alkylamino, di-(C1-C6 alkyl)amino, thiol, hydroxyl, nitro, cyano, amino, C3- C6cycloalkyl, 5- to 10-membered heterocyclyl, C6-C10aryl, 5- to 10-membered heteroaryl, C3- C6 cycloalkoxy, C1-C6 cycloalkylthio, 5- to 10-membered heterocyclylthio and oxo group. In some embodiments, sometimes preferably, the substituents are independently selected from C1-C6alkyl, halogen, C1-C6alkoxy, C1-C6alkylthio, C1-C6alkylamino, di-(C1-C6alkyl)amino, thiol, hydroxyl, nitro, cyano, amino, and oxo group. In some embodiments, sometimes more preferably, the substituents are independently selected from C1-C4alkyl, halogen, C1-C4alkoxy, C1-C4alkylthio, C1-C4alkylamino, di-(C1-C4alkyl)amino, thiol, hydroxyl, nitro, cyano, and amino. As a person of ordinary skill in the art would understand, an oxo (=O) group cannot be a substituent of an aryl or heteroaryl group, or at an unsaturated carbon in any other group. Denotation of carbon atoms or ring atoms in a substituent group, such as alkyl, cycloalkyl, carbocyclyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, or the like, may take different forms but they should be understood to mean a same thing as would be understood by those skilled in the art. For example, an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms may be denoted as “C1-C6alkyl,” “C1-C6alkyl,” “C1-6alkyl,” “C1-6alkyl,” or the like, which may occur for other substituent groups as well. In the present disclosure, “alkyl” and “alkylene,” “alkenyl” and “alkenylene,” “aryl” and “arylene,” “cycloalkyl” and “cycloalkylene,” or the like, may sometimes be used interchangeably. Thus, interpretation of these terms should be based on the context as would be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art. For example, when the term “alkyl” appears in an expression such as “-C(O)-C1-6alkyl,” “-C(O)O-C1-6alkyl,” “O-C1-4haloalkyl,” or the like, the term should be interpreted as monovalent alkyl group; however, the term “alkyl” in an expression such as “C1-6alkyl-NRaRb”, “C1-6alkyl-O-C1-4alkyl-C(O)OR12”, “C(O)NH-C1-6alkyl-OR9”, or the like, should be interpreted as a divalent “alkylene”. In addition, some terms sometimes may include a hyphen “-” in the end to indicate a bond, such as “-C(O)-C1-6alkyl”, “-C1-6alkyl-NRaRb”, “-C(O)OH”, or the like, and sometimes may not, such as “C(O)-C1-6alkyl”, “C1-6alkyl-NRaRb”, “C(O)OH”, or the like, but they represent the same groups, respectively, as would be understood by those skilled in the art. As would be understood by those skilled in the art, the present disclosure encompasses any and all possible and reasonable combinations of the embodiments with regards to the structures of compounds disclosed, provided that such combinations would not violate covalent bond principles. The term “isomer,” as used herein, refers to all possible types of isomerism a compound may have, as suitable in the context. They may include stereoisomers, configurational isomers, geometrical isomers, conformational isomers, or the like. The term “stereoisomer” refers to isomers that are structurally identical but differ in the arrangement of the atoms in space, which may or may not by caused by asymmetric (chiral) centers in the structure. It includes enantiomers, diastereomers, atropisomers, or the like, and their respective mixtures. The term “atropisomers” refers to a special type of stereoisomer, i.e., conformational stereoisomers, which result from steric hindrance in a molecule such that rotation about a single bond is hindered or greatly slowed. Some atropisomers could be separated and isolated in a stable form. For example, certain compounds of the present disclosure may exist in the form of a mixture of atropisomers (e.g., an equal ratio mixture, a mixture enriched in one atropisomer) or a purified atropisomer under different conditions. All such stereoisomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure, whether a compound is presented as a chiral form or not, whether only one single isomer or multiple isomers are presented. The present disclosure also encompasses cis- / trans- (or Z- / E-) isomers caused by the different configurations of substituents on a double bond, especially C=C, which are sometimes called geometrical isomers. The compounds of the present disclosure may also exist in different tautomeric forms, and all such forms are included within the scope of the present disclosure. The term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to a structural isomer that exists in equilibrium and is readily converted from one isomeric form into another. Non-limiting examples include keto-enol tautomerism, imine-enamine tautomerism, or the like. As used in this specification and claim(s), the words “comprising” (and any form of comprising, such as “comprise” and “comprises”), “having” (and any form of having, such as “have” and “has”), “including” (and any form of including, such as “includes” and “include”) or “containing” (and any form of containing, such as “contains” and “contain”) are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps. The terms “a” and “an” and “the” and similar references in the present disclosure (especially in the context of the following claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by context. Where the plural form is used for compounds, salts, and the like, this is taken to mean also a single compound, salt, or the like. The term “and / or” as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. When used in a list of two or more items, the term “and / or” means that any one of the listed items can be employed by itself, or any combination of two or more of the listed items can be employed. A “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a mixture of one or more of the compounds described in the present disclosure or physiologically / pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and other chemical components such as physiologically / pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration of a compound to an organism, which is conducive to the absorption of the active ingredient and thus displaying biological activity. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable,” as used herein, refers to those compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of patients without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio, and are effective for their intended use. “Pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to salts of the compounds of the disclosure, such salts being safe and effective when used in a mammal and have corresponding biological activity. The salts can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or separately by reacting a suitable nitrogen atom with a suitable acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. See, e.g., S. M. Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, 1-19, which is incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this disclosure include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids. Acids commonly employed to form pharmaceutically acceptable salts include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrogen bisulfide as well as organic acids, such as para-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, tartaric acid, bitartaric acid, ascorbic acid, maleic acid, besylic acid, fumaric acid, gluconic acid, glucuronic acid, formic acid, glutamic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid, para-bromophenylsulfonic acid, carbonic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, acetic acid, and related inorganic and organic acids. Preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salts include the hydrochloride or hydrobromide salts. Basic addition salts can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds by reacting a carboxy group with a suitable base such as the hydroxide, carbonate, or bicarbonate of a metal cation or with ammonia or an organic primary, secondary, or tertiary amine. The cations of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminum, as well as nontoxic quaternary amine cations such as ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, diethylamine, ethylamine, tributylamine, pyridine, N,N-dimethylaniline, N-methylpiperidine, and N-methylmorpholine. When it is possible that, for use in therapy, therapeutically effective amounts of a compound of the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may be administered as the raw chemical, it is possible to present the active ingredient as a pharmaceutical composition. Accordingly, the disclosure further provides pharmaceutical compositions, which include any compounds of the present disclosure, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and one or more, preferably one to three, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or other excipients. The carrier(s), diluent(s), or other excipient(s) must be acceptable in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the subject being treated. In the compounds disclosed herein, the atoms may exhibit their natural isotopic abundances, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched in a particular isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number predominantly found in nature. For example, substitution with heavier isotopes, such as replacing hydrogen (H) with deuterium (i.e.,2H or D) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half- life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. In addition, certain isotopically-labeled compounds (e.g., with3H and14C) are useful in compound and / or substrate tissue distribution assays. Isotopically labeled compounds can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed in the Schemes and / or in the Examples below, by substituting an appropriate isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. The present disclosure also encompasses all suitable isotopic derivatives of the compounds disclosed. The term “isotopic derivative” refers to a compound in which at least one atom is replaced with an atom having the same atomic number but a different atomic mass. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds of the present disclosure include stable and radioactive isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, boron, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, or the like, such as2H (deuterium, D),3H (deuterium, T),11C,13C,14C,15N,17O,18O, etc. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present disclosure, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure. Pharmaceutical formulations may be presented in unit dose forms containing a predetermined amount of active ingredient per unit dose. Typically, the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure will be administered from once every 1 to 5 days to about 1-5 times per day, or alternatively, as a continuous infusion. Such administration can be used as a chronic or acute therapy. The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending on the condition being treated, the severity of the condition, the time of administration, the route of administration, the rate of excretion of the compound employed, the duration of treatment, and the age, gender, weight, and condition of the patient. Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose or sub-dose, as herein above recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of an active ingredient. Generally, treatment is initiated with small dosages substantially less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. In general, the compound is most desirably administered at a concentration level that will generally afford effective results without causing substantial harmful or deleterious side effects. When the compositions of this disclosure comprise a combination of a compound of the present disclosure and one or more, preferably one or two, additional therapeutic or prophylactic agent, both the compound and the additional agent are usually present at dosage levels of between about 10 to 150%, and more preferably between about 10 and 80% of the dosage normally administered in a monotherapy regimen. Pharmaceutical formulations may be adapted for administration by any appropriate route, for example, by the oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal, sublingual, or transdermal), vaginal, or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intracutaneous, intramuscular, intra-articular, intrasynovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intralesional, intravenous, or intradermal injections or infusions) route. Such formulations may be prepared by any method known in the art of pharmacy, for example by bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier(s) or excipient(s). Oral administration or administration by injection are preferred. Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules or tablets; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or whips; or oil-in-water liquid emulsions or water-in-oil emulsions. For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral, non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Powders are prepared by comminuting the compound to a suitable fine size and mixing with a similarly comminuted pharmaceutical carrier such as an edible carbohydrate, as, for example, starch or mannitol. Flavoring, preservative, dispersing, and coloring agent can also be present. Capsules are made by preparing a powder mixture, as described above, and filling formed gelatin sheaths. Glidants and lubricants such as colloidal silica, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, or solid polyethylene glycol can be added to the powder mixture before the filling operation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, or sodium carbonate can also be added to improve the availability of the medicament when the capsule is ingested. Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents, and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium chloride, and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum, and the like. Tablets are formulated, for example, by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant, and pressing into tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound, suitable comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above, and optionally, with a binder such as carboxymethylcellulose, an alginate, gelatin, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a solution retardant such as paraffin, a resorption accelerator such as a quaternary salt and / or and absorption agent such as bentonite, kaolin, or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by wetting with a binder such as syrup, starch paste, acacia mucilage, or solutions of cellulosic or polymeric materials and forcing through a screen. As an alternative to granulating, the powder mixture can be run through the tablet machine and the result is imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules can be lubricated to prevent sticking to the tablet forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc, or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The compounds of the present disclosure can also be combined with a free flowing inert carrier and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear or opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar or polymeric material, and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different unit dosages. Oral fluids such as solution, syrups, and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of the compound. Syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound in a suitably flavored aqueous solution, while elixirs are prepared through the use of a non-toxic vehicle. Solubilizers and emulsifiers such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxyethylene sorbitol ethers, preservatives, flavor additive such as peppermint oil or natural sweeteners, or saccharin or other artificial sweeteners, and the like can also be added. Where appropriate, dosage unit formulations for oral administration can be microencapsulated. The formulation can also be prepared to prolong or sustain the release, for example, by coating or embedding particulate material in polymers, wax, or the like. It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents. The term “subject,” "patient,” or the like, includes both humans and other mammalian animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, monkeys, chimpanzees, and so on, preferably humans. The term “disease,” “disorder,” and “condition,” or the like, as used herein, are often used interchangeably. The term “therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount of a compound or composition that, when administered to a subject for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease. A "therapeutically effective amount" can vary depending on, inter alia, the compound, the disease and its severity, and the age, weight, or other factors of the subject to be treated. When applied to an individual active ingredient, administered alone, the term refers to that ingredient alone. When applied to a combination, the term refers to combined amounts of the active ingredients that result in the therapeutic effect, whether administered in combination, serially, or simultaneously. The term “treat”, “treating”, “treatment”, or the like, refers to: (i) inhibiting the disease, disorder, or condition, i.e., arresting its development; and (ii) relieving the disease, disorder, or condition, i.e., causing regression of the disease, disorder, and / or condition. In addition, the compounds of present disclosure may be used for their prophylactic effects in preventing a disease, disorder or condition from occurring in a subject that may be predisposed to the disease, disorder, and / or condition but has not yet been diagnosed as having it. When the term “about” is applied to a parameter, such as pH, concentration, temperature, or the like, it indicates that the parameter can vary by ±10%, and sometimes more preferably within ±5%, and sometimes more preferably with ±2%. As would be understood by a person skilled in the art, when a parameter is not critical, a number is often given only for illustration purpose, instead of being limiting. The following non-limiting synthetic schemes, preparation methods and processes, and examples further illustrate certain aspects of the present disclosure. Compound Preparation and Biological Assays As can be appreciated by the skilled artisan, methods of synthesizing the compounds of the formulae herein will be evident to those of ordinary skill in the art. Synthetic chemistry transformations and protecting group methodologies (protection and deprotection) useful in synthesizing the compounds described herein are known in the art and include, for example, those such as described in R.

THF was continuously refluxed and freshly distilled from sodium and benzophenone under nitrogen, dichloromethane was continuously refluxed and freshly distilled from CaH2under nitrogen. Flash chromatography was performed on Biotage Isolera One using columns with silica gel particles of 200-300 mesh. Analytical and preparative TLC plates were HSGF 254 (0.15- 0.2 mm thickness, Shanghai Anbang Company, China). NMR spectra were recorded using Brucker AVANCE NEO 400 (Brucker, Switzerland) at around 20~30 °C unless otherwise specified. The following abbreviations are used: s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; q, quartet; m, multiple; dd, doublet of doublets; dt, doublet of triplets; bs, broad signal. Chemical shifts for1H NMR were reported in parts per million (ppm, δ) downfield from tetramethylsilane. Mass spectra were run with electrospray ionization (ESI) on a LCMS2020 Mass Spectrometer (Shimadzu, Japan). Compound purification was carried out as needed using a variety of methods including, but not limited to, preparative chromatography under acidic, neutral, or basic conditions using either normal phase or reverse phase HPLC, flash columns, or Prep- TLC plates. Preparative HPLC: unless otherwise described, the compounds were purified using a SHIMADZU LH-40 or FRC-40 equipped with a YMC-Triart C18 Column (5 μm, 120A, 250 x 20 mm) and one of the following solvent systems: H2O, MeCN, and 0.1% FA in H2O or H2O, MeOH, and 0.1% FA in H2O or H2O, MeCN, and 0.1% NH4OH / NH4HCO3in H2O or H2O, MeCN, and 0.1% NH4OH / NH4HCO3in H2O. Specific elution gradients were based on the retention times obtained from an analytical LC-MS, however, in general all elution gradients of H2O and MeCN or MeOH were run over a 20 minutes run time with a flow rate of 20 mL / min. An auto-blend method was used to ensure a concentration of 0.1% FA throughout each run. For purifications using eluents containing FA, the final products after lyophilization or drying are full or partial salt of FA as evident from NMR. The qualitative nature of these salts is listed in the descriptions in the Examples. Analytical LC-MS: analytical LC-MS was performed on a SHIMADZU LCMS2020 instrument equipped with a Shim-pack Scepter C18Column (3.0 x 33 mm, 3 μm) at a column temperature of 40 °C and using the following solvent system: Solvent A: 0.05% FA in H2O; and Solvent B: MeCN. All compounds were run using the same elution gradient, i.e., 20% to 95% Solvent B over a 3 min run time with a flow rate of 1.2 mL / min. Preparative Chiral SFC Separation: Stereoisomeric mixtures were separated using a Waters SFC 80 (Waters, USA) or Nexera UC Prep (Shimadzu, Japan) instrument on one of the following columns: ChiralPak AS-H (21.2 x 250 mm,5μm), ChiralPak IA (21.2 x 250 mm,5μm), ChiralPak AD-H (21.2 x 250 mm, 5μm), or ChiralPak IC (21.2 x 250 mm, 5μm); eluting with either 0.05% DEA in MeOH / CO2, or 0.05% DEA in EtOH / CO2or 0.05% DEA in isopropanol / CO2with a flow rate of 40 mL / min and a column temperature of 40 °C. Analytical Chiral SFC Separation: Stereoisomer mixtures or single enantiomers were analyzed using a Waters UPCC (Waters, USA) or UC (Shimadzu, Japan) on one of the following columns: ChiralPak AS-H (4.6 x 100 mm, 3.5μm), ChiralPak IA (4.6 x 100 mm, 3.5μm), ChiralPak AD-H (4.6 x 100 mm, 3.5μm), or ChiralPak IC (4.6 x 100 mm, 3.5μm); eluting with either 0.05% DEA in MeOH / CO2, or 0.05% DEA in EtOH / CO2or 0.05% DEA in isopropanol / CO2, with a flow rate of 1.8 mL / min and a column temperature of 40 °C. Schemes for the preparation of final targets: General Scheme 1 In general scheme 1, formulae II were prepared from commercially available formulae I with appropriate nucleophiles under nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction conditions (such as DIPEA / DMSO, CsF / DMSO, etc.) or transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (such as Buchwald coupling reaction, Negishi reaction, Suzuki coupling, etc.). Treatment of formulae II with phenyl-borate under Suzuki coupling conditions (Such as Ruphos Pd G3 or Pd(dtbpf)Cl2, K2CO3, 1,4-dioxane / H2O, etc.) afforded formulae III.
