RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/457,857, filed on April 7, 2023. The entire contents of the foregoing application are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure relates to inhibitors of Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts 5 thereof, compositions of these compounds, processes for their preparation, their use in the treatment of diseases, their use in optional combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for the manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations, the use of the pharmaceutical preparations in the treatment of diseases, and methods of treating diseases comprising administering the TYK2 inhibitor to a warm-blooded animal, especially a 10 human.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cytokines are small secreted proteins released by cells and have a specific effect on the interactions and communications between cells. Cytokine pathways mediate a broad range of biological functions including many aspects of inflammation and immunity through mostly extracellular signaling.
Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is a member of Janus kinases (JAK) that are cytoplasmic protein kinases associated with cytokine receptors and play a central role in mediating cytokine signaling (Kisseleva et al., Gene, 2002, 285, 1; and Yamaoka et al. Genome Biology 2004, 5, 253). The JAK family also includes JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3. More specifically, cytokine’s engagement with cognate receptors triggers activation of receptors associate with JAK, which leads to JAK mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins and ultimately transcriptional activation of specific gene sets (Schindler et al, 2007, J. Biol. Chem. 282: 20059-63). Numerous cytokines known to activate the JAK family include the interferon (IFN) family (IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, IFN- omega, Limitin, IFN-gamma, IL- 10, IL- 19, IL-20, IL-22), the glycoprotein (gp) 130 family (IL-6, IL-11, OSM, L1F, CNTF, NNT-l/BSF-3, G-CSF, CT-1, Leptin, IL-12, IL-23), the gamma C family (IL-2, IL-7, TSLP, IL-9, IL-15, IL-21, IL-4, IL-13), IL-3 family (IL-3, IL-5,
GM-CSF), the single chain family (EPO, GH, PRL, TPO), receptor tyrosine kinases (EGF, PDGF, CSF-1, HGF), and G-protein coupled receptors (AT1). TYK2 is important in the signaling of the type I interferons (e.g., IFN-alpha), IL-6, IL-10, IL-12 and IL-23 (Liang, Y. et al., Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets, 2014, 18,5, 571-580; Kisseleva et al., 2002, Gene 285:1-24; and Watford, W.T. & O’Shea, J.J., 2006, Immunity 25:695-697). Consistent with this, primary cells derived from a TYK2 deficient human are defective in type I interferon, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12 and IL-23 signaling. TYK2 signals with other members of the JAK family in the following combinations: TYK2/JAK1, TYK2/JAK2, TYK2/JAK1/JAK2. Studies have shown that inappropriate JAK activities can arise from mutation, over- expression, or inappropriate regulation, dys-regulation or de-regulation, as well as over- or under-production of growth factors or cytokines, and therefore trigger a variety of biological cellular responses relating to cell growth, cell differentiation, cell function, survival, apoptosis, and cell mobility. The inappropriate JAK activities are implicated in many diseases that include but not limited to cancer, cardiovascular diseases, allergies, asthma and other respiratory diseases, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases, metabolic disorders, and neurological and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Small molecule JAK inhibitors have emerged as a major therapeutic advancement in treating autoimmune diseases. To date, all known small molecule JAK inhibitors that have progressed into development are active site-directed inhibitors that bind to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) site of the catalytic domain (also referred to as the JH1 or “Janus Homology 1” domain) of the JAK protein, which prevents catalytic activity of the kinase by blocking ATP, downstream phosphorylation, and resulting pathway signal transduction (Bryan et al., J. Med. Chem.2018, 61, 9030−9058). Because of the high homology of the ATP active site across the kinome and especially within the JAK family, it is a significant challenge to achieve high selectivity for a specific JAK family member while also maintaining selectivity within the kinome. As a result, many JAK inhibitors that have been developed are pan-JAK inhibitors or are modestly selective for one or more JAK family members. While these inhibitors have shown encouraging results in treating autoimmune diseases, undesirable side effects leading to a narrow therapeutic index have been observed and suggest the need for improved treatments. TYK2 has been shown to be important in the differentiation and function of multiple cell types important in inflammatory disease and autoimmune disease including natural killer
cells, B cells, and T helper cell types. Aberrant TYK2 expression is associated with multiple autoimmune or inflammatory conditions. There remains a need for potent compounds that demonstrate high selectivity for TYK2 over other members of the JAK family.

It will be recognized by those skilled in the art that the compounds of the present disclosure may contain chiral centers and as such may exist in different stereoisomeric forms. As used herein, the term “an optical isomer” or “a stereoisomer” refers to any of the various stereo isomeric configurations which may exist for a given compound of the present disclosure. It is understood that a substituent may be attached at a chiral center of a carbon atom. Therefore, the disclosure includes enantiomers, diastereomers or racemates of the compound.
Certain of the compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers or axes and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-. In accordance with the present disclosure any structure that does not designate the stereochemistry is to be understood as embracing all the various stereoisomers (e.g., diastereomers and enantiomers) in pure or substantially pure form, as well as mixtures thereof (such as a racemic mixture, or an enantiomerically enriched mixture). It is well known in the art how to prepare such optically active forms (for example, resolution of the racemic form by recrystallization techniques, synthesis from optically-active starting materials, by chiral synthesis, or chromatographic separation using a chiral stationary phase). In some embodiment, the compounds described herein are isolated stereoisomers wherein each of the compounds has one stereocenter and the stereoisomer is in the R configuration. In other embodiment, the compounds described herein are isolated stereoisomers wherein each of the compounds has one stereocenter and the stereoisomer is in the S configuration. In one embodiment, the compounds described herein are isolated stereoisomers wherein each of the compounds has two stereocenters and the stereoisomer is in the R R configuration. In one embodiment, the compounds described herein are isolated stereoisomers wherein each of the compounds has two stereocenters and the stereoisomer is in the R S configuration. In one embodiment, the compounds described herein are isolated stereoisomers stereoisomer wherein each of the compounds has two stereocenters and the stereoisomer is in the S R configuration. In one embodiment, the compounds described herein are isolated stereoisomers stereoisomer wherein each of the compounds has two stereocenters and the stereoisomer is in the S S configuration. In one embodiment, the compounds described herein each have one or two stereocenters and are racemic mixtures. When a particular stereoisomer of a compound is depicted by name or structure, the stereochemical purity of the compounds is at least 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 99%, 99.5% or 99.9%. “Stereochemical purity” means the weight percent of the desired stereoisomer relative to the combined weight of all stereoisomers. When a particular enantiomer of a compound is depicted by name or structure, the stereochemical purity of the compounds is at least 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 99%, 99.5% or 99.9%. “Stereochemical purity” means the weight percent of the desired enantiomer relative to the combined weight of all stereoisomers. When the stereochemistry of a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure, and the named or depicted structure encompasses more than one stereoisomer (e.g., as in a
diastereomeric pair), it is to be understood that one of the encompassed stereoisomers or any mixture of the encompassed stereoisomers are included. It is to be further understood that the stereoisomeric purity of the named or depicted stereoisomers is at least 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 99%, 99.5% or 99.9%. The stereoisomeric purity means the weight percent of the desired stereoisomers encompassed by the name or structure relative to the combined weight of all of the stereoisomers. When a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure without indicating the stereochemistry, and the compound has one chiral center, it is to be understood that the name or structure encompasses one enantiomer of compound in pure or substantially pure form, as well as mixtures thereof (such as a racemic mixture of the compound and mixtures enriched in one enantiomer relative to its corresponding optical isomer). Unless specified otherwise, the compounds of the present disclosure are meant to include all such possible stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures, optically pure forms and intermediate mixtures. Optically active (R)- and (S)-stereoisomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques (e.g., separated on chiral SFC or HPLC chromatography columns, such as CHIRALPAKRTM and CHIRALCEL RTM available from DAICEL Corp. using the appropriate solvent or mixture of solvents to achieve good separation). If the compound contains a double bond, the substituent may be E or Z configuration. If the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl, the cycloalkyl substituent may have a cis- or trans-configuration. All tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. When a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure without indicating the stereochemistry and, e.g., the compound has at least two chiral centers, it is to be understood that the name or structure encompasses one stereoisomer in pure or substantially pure form, as well as mixtures thereof (such as mixtures of stereoisomers, and mixtures of stereoisomers in which one or more stereoisomers is enriched relative to the other stereoisomer(s)). The disclosed compounds may exist in tautomeric forms and mixtures and separate individual tautomers are contemplated. All such forms are embraced within the scope of the disclosure. In addition, some compounds may exhibit polymorphism. The term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to structural isomers of different energies which are interconvertible via a low energy barrier. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions via migration of a proton, such as keto-enol and imine-enamine isomerizations. A specific example of a proton tautomer is the imidazole moiety where the proton may migrate between the two ring nitrogens. Valence tautomers
include interconversions by reorganization of some of the bonding electrons. Furthermore, the compounds of the present disclosure, including their salts, may also be obtained in the form of their hydrates, or include other solvents used for their crystallization. The compounds of the present disclosure may inherently or by design form solvates with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents (including water); therefore, it is intended that the disclosure embrace both solvated and unsolvated forms. The term “solvate” refers to a molecular complex of a compound of the present disclosure (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) with one or more solvent molecules. Such solvent molecules are those commonly used in the pharmaceutical art, which are known to be innocuous to the recipient, e.g., water, ethanol, and the like. The term “hydrate” refers to the complex where the solvent molecule is water. Compounds of the disclosure that contain groups capable of acting as donors and/or acceptors for hydrogen bonds may be capable of forming co-crystals with suitable co-crystal formers. These co-crystals may be prepared from the compounds by known co-crystal forming procedures. Such procedures include grinding, heating, co-subliming, co-melting, or contacting in solution the compounds with the co-crystal former under crystallization conditions and isolating co-crystals thereby formed. Suitable co-crystal formers include those described in WO 2004/078163. Hence the disclosure further provides co-crystals comprising a compound described herein. In one embodiment, the disclosure provides deuterated compounds disclosed herein, in which any or more positions occupied by hydrogen can include enrichment by deuterium above the natural abundance of deuterium. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium at an abundance that is at least 3340 times greater than the natural abundance of deuterium, which is 0.015% (i.e., at least 50.1% incorporation of deuterium), at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium atom), at least 4000 (60% deuterium incorporation), at least 4500 (67.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 5000 (75% deuterium), at least 5500 (82.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 6000 (90% deuterium incorporation), at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium incorporation), at least 6466.7 (97% deuterium incorporation), at least 6600 (99% deuterium incorporation), or at least 6633.3 (99.5% deuterium incorporation). In one embodiment, hydrogen is present at all positions at its natural abundance. In another embodiment, the present disclosure is a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least on compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” includes generally recognized as safe (GRAS) solvents, dispersion media, surfactants, antioxidants, preservatives (e.g., antibacterial agents, antifungal agents), isotonic agents, salts, preservatives, drug stabilizers, buffering agents (e.g., maleic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, sodium bicarbonate, sodium phosphate, and the like), and the like and combinations thereof, as would be known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Ed. Mack Printing Company, 1990, pp.1289- 1329). Except insofar as any conventional carrier is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic or pharmaceutical compositions is contemplated. The formulations may be prepared using conventional dissolution and mixing procedures. For example, the bulk drug substance (i.e., compound of the present disclosure or stabilized form of the compound (e.g., complex with a cyclodextrin derivative or other known complexation agent)) is dissolved in a suitable solvent in the presence of one or more of the excipients described above. The compound of the present disclosure is typically formulated into pharmaceutical dosage forms to provide an easily controllable dosage of the drug and to give the patient an elegant and easily handleable product. The pharmaceutical composition (or formulation) for application may be packaged in a variety of ways depending upon the method used for administering the drug. Generally, an article for distribution includes a container having deposited therein the pharmaceutical formulation in an appropriate form. Suitable containers are well-known to those skilled in the art and include materials such as bottles (plastic and glass), sachets, ampoules, plastic bags, metal cylinders, and the like. The container may also include a tamper-proof assemblage to prevent indiscreet access to the contents of the package. In addition, the container has deposited thereon a label that describes the contents of the container. The label may also include appropriate warnings. The pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the present disclosure is generally formulated for use as a parenteral or oral administration. For example, the pharmaceutical oral compositions of the present disclosure can be made up in a solid form (including without limitation capsules, tablets, pills, granules, powders or suppositories), or in a liquid form (including without limitation solutions, suspensions or emulsions). The pharmaceutical compositions can be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or can contain conventional inert diluents, lubricating agents, or buffering agents, as well as adjuvants, such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifers and buffers, etc.
Typically, the pharmaceutical compositions are tablets or gelatin capsules comprising the active ingredient together with a) diluents, e.g., lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose and/or glycine; b) lubricants, e.g., silica, talcum, stearic acid, its magnesium or calcium salt and/or polyethyleneglycol; for tablets also c) binders, e.g., magnesium aluminum silicate, starch paste, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone; if desired d) disintegrants, e.g., starches, agar, alginic acid or its sodium salt, or effervescent mixtures; and/or e) absorbents, colorants, flavors and sweeteners.

Suitable compositions for oral administration include a compound of the disclosure in the form of tablets, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsion, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use are prepared according to any method known in the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions can contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets may contain the active ingredient in admixture with nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients are, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example, starch, gelatin or acacia; and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets are uncoated or coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate can be employed. Formulations for oral use can be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example, peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.
The parenteral compositions (e.g, intravenous (IV) formulation) are aqueous isotonic solutions or suspensions. The parenteral compositions may be sterilized and/or contain adjuvants, such as preserving, stabilizing, wetting or emulsifying agents, solution promoters, salts for regulating the osmotic pressure and/or buffers. In addition, they may also contain other therapeutically valuable substances. The compositions are generally prepared according to conventional mixing, granulating or coating methods, respectively, and contain about 0.1- 75%, or contain about 1-50%, of the active ingredient.

In some embodiments, the subject can be a human. Compounds of the present disclosure may be synthesized by synthetic routes that include processes analogous to those well-known in the chemical arts, particularly in light of the description contained herein. The starting materials are generally available from commercial sources such as Sigma-Aldrich or are readily prepared using methods well known to those skilled in the art (e.g., prepared by methods generally described in Louis F. Fieser and Mary Fieser, Reagents for Organic Synthesis, v.1-19, Wiley, New York (1967- 1999 ed.), or Beilsteins Handbuch der organischen Chemie, 4, Aufl. ed. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, including supplements (also available via the Beilstein online database)). The protection of functional groups by protecting groups, the protecting groups themselves, and their cleavage reactions are described for example in standard reference works, such as J. F. W. McOmie, “Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry”, Plenum Press, London and New York 1973, in T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, Third edition, Wiley, New York 1999, in “The Peptides”; Volume 3 (editors: E. Gross and J. Meienhofer), Academic Press, London and New York 1981, in “Methoden der organischen Chemie” (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Houben Weyl, 4th edition, Volume 15/I, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart 1974, and in H.-D. Jakubke and H. Jeschkeit, “Aminosauren, Peptide, Proteine” (Amino acids, Peptides, Proteins), Verlag Chemie, Weinheim, Deerfield Beach, and Basel 1982. A characteristic of protecting groups is that they can be removed
readily (i.e. without the occurrence of undesired secondary reactions) for example by solvolysis, reduction, photolysis or alternatively under physiological conditions (e.g. by enzymatic cleavage). Salts of compounds of the present disclosure having at least one salt-forming group may be prepared in a manner known to those skilled in the art. For example, acid addition salts of compounds of the present disclosure are obtained in customary manner, e.g. by treating the compounds with an acid or a suitable anion exchange reagent. Salts can be converted into the free compounds in accordance with methods known to those skilled in the art. Acid addition salts can be converted, for example, by treatment with a suitable basic agent. Any resulting mixtures of isomers can be separated on the basis of the physicochemical differences of the constituents, into the pure or substantially pure geometric or optical isomers, diastereomers, racemates, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. For those compounds containing an asymmetric carbon atom, the compounds exist in individual optically active isomeric forms or as mixtures thereof, e.g. as racemic or diastereomeric mixtures. Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereoisomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereoisomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereoisomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of a commercially available chiral HPLC column. The disclosure further includes any variant of the present processes, in which the reaction components are used in the form of their salts or optically pure material. Compounds of the disclosure and intermediates can also be converted into each other according to methods generally known to those skilled in the art.

BIOLOGICAL ASSAYS Biochemical Assay Compounds of the disclosure were assessed for their ability to inhibit TYK2, JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3 activity. The inhibitory properties of the compounds of the disclosure described herein can be evidenced by testing in any one of the following protocols.
JH1 Biochemical Assay for TYK2, JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3 The kinase activity of recombinantly generated catalytic kinase (also known as JH1) domain of human JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2 were evaluated in a plate-based assay using the ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay platform. Specifically, 4 nM of recombinant JAK1 kinase domain is used to phosphorylate 50 µM of a JAK3-342 (sequence ALVDGYFRLTT) peptide in the presence of 35 µM ATP. Catalytic activities of recombinant JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2 kinase domain (0.2, 0.3 and 2nM, respectively) are evaluated by the phosphorylation status of the JAK3-974 (50µM; sequence LPLDKDYYVVR) peptide with the addition of ATP (15, 4 and 10µM, respectively). The reactions proceed for 100 minutes and the catalytic activity is quantified by first depleting the unused ATP, converting the hydrolyzed ADP into ATP to generate luminescence in a luciferase reaction; which is the basis of the ADP-Glo platform. Compounds are tested at either 10 µM or 1 µM top concentration, 11 points of 3-fold dilution. The data is normalized and the percent activity versus log concentration of compound is fitted with a 4-parameter logistic model to generate a curve and an IC50 value. pSTAT4 cell assay The inhibitory potency of compounds of the disclosure against the Tyk2 kinase activity on STAT4 was evaluated using an MSD-platform plate-based assay format. NK92 cells natively expressing STAT4 and Tyk2 were serum-starved to reduce background phosphorylation levels, then cells were treated compounds for 1 hr with a 10-point four-fold dilution series starting at 10 µM. Cells were then stimulated with 30 ng/mL IL2 for 15 minutes. Cells were lysed and pSTAT5 levels were quantitated using an MSD plate-based assay with anti-STAT4 antibodies. The data were normalized and the percent activity versus log concentration of compound were fitted with a 4-parameter logistic model to generate to generate IC50 curves. pSTAT5 cell assay The inhibitory potency of compounds of the disclosure against the JAK2 kinase activity on STAT5 was evaluated using an MSD-platform plate-based assay format. TF1 cells natively expressing STAT5 and JAK2 were serum-starved to reduce background phosphorylation levels, then cells were treated with compounds of disclosure for 1 hour with a 10-point four-fold dilution series starting at 10 µM. Cells were then stimulated with 30 ng/mL IL-3 for 15 minutes. Cells were then lysed and pSTAT5 levels were quantitated using an MSD plate-based assay with anti-STAT5 antibodies. The data were normalized and the percent activity versus log
concentration of compound was fitted with a 4-parameter logistic model to generate a curve and an IC50 value. pSTAT3 cell assay The inhibitory potency of compounds of the disclosure against the JAK1 kinase activity on STAT3 was evaluated using an MSD-platform plate-based assay format. TF1 cells natively expressing STAT3 and JAK1 were serum-starved to reduce background phosphorylation levels, then cells were treated with compounds of the disclosure for 1 hour with a 10-point four-fold dilution series starting at 10 µM. Cells were then stimulated with 30 ng/mL interleukin 6 (IL- 6) for 15 minutes. Cells were lysed and pSTAT3 levels were quantitated using an MSD plate- based assay with anti-STAT3 antibodies. The data were normalized and the percent activity versus log concentration of compound was fitted with a 4-parameter logistic model to generate IC50 curves.
