Summary of The Invention
The present invention relates to a class of compounds or pharmaceutical compositions thereof for the treatment or prevention of cathepsin dependent disorders. The compound or the pharmaceutical composition has good inhibition activity on cathepsin K, has poor inhibition activity on other subtypes such as cathepsin B, L, cathepsin S and the like, and shows very high selectivity.
Cathepsin K is a key enzyme in the bone resorption process and is a hot target in the research of osteoporosis diseases in recent years, but due to the existence of various subtypes of cathepsin, especially, cathepsin B, L and S have high homology with cathepsin K and have very important physiological effects in human bodies, cathepsin K inhibitors can easily cause off-target effect in human bodies and generate serious side effects. Therefore, how to improve the selectivity of cathepsin K inhibitors is a difficult problem that must be overcome in the development of such inhibitors. The compound has better inhibition activity on cathepsin K, has poorer inhibition effect on cathepsin B, L and cathepsin S with high homology, shows high selectivity, and reduces off-target side effect caused by compound selectivity, thereby greatly improving the possibility of developing medicaments for treating osteoporosis as cathepsin K inhibitors.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that many methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice of the present invention. The present invention is in no way limited to the methods and materials described herein. In the event that one or more of the incorporated documents, patents, and similar materials differ or contradict this application (including but not limited to defined terminology, application of terminology, described techniques, and the like), this application controls.
It will be further appreciated that certain features of the invention, which are, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the invention which are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, may also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. All patents and publications referred to herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The following definitions as used herein should be applied unless otherwise indicated. For the purposes of the present invention, the chemical elements are in accordance with the CAS version of the periodic Table of the elements, and the handbook of chemistry and Physics, 75 th edition, 1994. In addition, general principles of Organic Chemistry can be found in the descriptions of "Organic Chemistry", Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausaltito: 1999, and "March's Advanced Organic Chemistry" by Michael B.Smith and Jerry March, John Wiley & Sons, New York:2007, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The articles "a," "an," and "the" as used herein are intended to include "at least one" or "one or more" unless otherwise indicated or clearly contradicted by context. Thus, as used herein, the articles refer to articles of one or more than one (i.e., at least one) object. For example, "a component" refers to one or more components, i.e., there may be more than one component contemplated for use or use in embodiments of the described embodiments.
The term "subject" as used herein refers to an animal. Typically the animal is a mammal. Subjects, e.g., also primates (e.g., humans, males or females), cows, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice, fish, birds, etc. In certain embodiments, the subject is a primate. In other embodiments, the subject is a human.
The term "patient" as used herein refers to humans (including adults and children) or other animals. In some embodiments, "patient" refers to a human.
The term "comprising" is open-ended, i.e. includes the elements indicated in the present invention, but does not exclude other elements.
"stereoisomers" refers to compounds having the same chemical structure but differing in the arrangement of atoms or groups in space. Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, conformers (rotamers), geometric isomers (cis/trans), atropisomers, and the like.
"chiral" is a molecule having the property of not overlapping its mirror image; and "achiral" refers to a molecule that can overlap with its mirror image.
"enantiomer" refers to two isomers of a compound that are not overlapping but are in mirror image relationship to each other.
"diastereomer" refers to a stereoisomer having two or more chiral centers and whose molecules are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers have different physical properties, such as melting points, boiling points, spectral properties, and reactivities. Mixtures of diastereomers may be separated by high resolution analytical procedures such as electrophoresis and chromatography, e.g., HPLC.
The stereochemical definitions and rules used in the present invention generally follow the general definitions of S.P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hilldictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; andEliel, E.and Wilen, S., "Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds", John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994.
Many organic compounds exist in an optically active form, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane polarized light. In describing optically active compounds, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of a molecule with respect to one or more of its chiral centers. The prefixes d and l or (+) and (-) are the symbols used to specify the rotation of plane polarized light by the compound, where (-) or l indicates that the compound is left-handed. Compounds prefixed with (+) or d are dextrorotatory. A particular stereoisomer is an enantiomer and a mixture of such isomers is referred to as an enantiomeric mixture. A50: 50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or racemate, which may occur when there is no stereoselectivity or stereospecificity in the chemical reaction or process.
Any asymmetric atom (e.g., carbon, etc.) of a compound disclosed herein can exist in racemic or enantiomerically enriched forms, such as the (R) -, (S) -or (R, S) -configuration. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom has at least 50% enantiomeric excess, at least 60% enantiomeric excess, at least 70% enantiomeric excess, at least 80% enantiomeric excess, at least 90% enantiomeric excess, at least 95% enantiomeric excess, or at least 99% enantiomeric excess in the (R) -or (S) -configuration.
Depending on the choice of starting materials and methods, the compounds of the invention may exist as one of the possible isomers or as mixtures thereof, for example as racemates and mixtures of non-corresponding isomers (depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms). Optically active (R) -or (S) -isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituents may be in the E or Z configuration; if the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl group, the substituents of the cycloalkyl group may have cis or trans configuration.
Any resulting mixture of stereoisomers may be separated into pure or substantially pure geometric isomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, depending on differences in the physicochemical properties of the components, e.g., by chromatographic methods and/or fractional crystallization methods to separate the different stereoisomers.
The racemates of any of the resulting end products or intermediates can be resolved into the optical enantiomers by known methods using methods familiar to those skilled in the art, e.g., by separation of the diastereomeric salts obtained. The racemic product can also be separated by chiral chromatography, e.g., High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) using a chiral adsorbent. In particular, Enantiomers can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis, for example, see Jacques, et al, Enantiomers, racemases and solutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); principles of Asymmetric Synthesis (2)ndEd.Robert E.Gawley,Jeffrey Aubé,Elsevier,Oxford,UK,2012);Eliel,E.L.Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds(McGraw-Hill,NY,1962);Wilen,S.H.Tablesof Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p.268(E.L.Eliel,Ed.,Univ.of NotreDame Press,Notre Dame,IN 1972);Chiral Separation Techniques:A PracticalApproach(Subramanian,G.Ed.,Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH&Co.KGaA,Weinheim,Germany,2007)。
The term "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" refers to structural isomers having different energies that can interconvert by a low energy barrier (lowenergy barrier). If tautomerism is possible (e.g., in solution), then the chemical equilibrium of the tautomer can be reached. For example, proton tautomers (also known as proton transfer tautomers) include interconversions by proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers (valenctautomers) include interconversion by recombination of some of the bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerism is the tautomerism of the pentan-2, 4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerism is phenol-ketone tautomerism. One specific example of phenol-ketone tautomerism is the tautomerism of pyridin-4-ol and pyridin-4 (1H) -one tautomers. Unless otherwise indicated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention.
In the various parts of this specification, substituents of the disclosed compounds are disclosed in terms of group type or range. It is specifically intended that the invention includes each and every independent subcombination of the various members of these groups and ranges. For example, the term "C1-C4Alkyl "or" C1-4Alkyl "means in particular independently disclosed methyl, ethyl, C3Alkyl and C4An alkyl group.
In each of the parts of the invention, linking substituents are described. Where the structure clearly requires a linking group, the markush variables listed for that group are understood to be linking groups. For example, if the structure requires a linking group and the markush group definition for the variable recites "alkyl" or "aryl," it is understood that the "alkyl" or "aryl" represents an attached alkylene group or arylene group, respectively.
The compounds of the invention may be optionally substituted with one or more substituents, as described herein, in compounds of the general formula above, or as specifically exemplified, sub-classes, and classes of compounds encompassed by the invention. It is understood that the term "optionally substituted" may be used interchangeably with the term "substituted or unsubstituted". In general, the term "substituted" means that one or more hydrogen atoms in a given structure are replaced with a particular substituent; the term "optionally" whether preceded by the term "substituted" or not, indicates that one or more hydrogen atoms in a given structure may be substituted or unsubstituted with a particular substituent. Unless otherwise indicated, an optional substituent group may have one substituent substituted at each substitutable position of the group. When more than one position in a given formula can be substituted with one or more substituents selected from a particular group, the substituents may be substituted at each position, identically or differently. "one or more" means substituted with one or more substituents, preferably 1,2,3,4, 5 or 6 substituents.

For example, formula a represents any possible substituted position on ring a that may be substituted with R, as shown in formula b, formula c, formula d, and formula e; meanwhile, R may be substituted at any substitutable position on ring D, as in formula f, ring D is specifically a spiro structure formed by ring B and ring C, and then R may be substituted at any substitutable position on ring a, ring B or ring C.
As described herein, the attachment point may be attached to the rest of the molecule at any point on the ring where it can be attached. For example, formula g represents the point on the A ring at which any of the possible attachment sites may be attached as a point of attachment to the remainder of the molecule, as shown in formulas g-1, g-2, g-3 and g-4.
In addition, unless otherwise expressly indicated, the descriptions "… and … are each independently," "… and … are each independently," and "… and … are each independently" used throughout this document are interchangeable and should be broadly construed to mean that particular items expressed between the same symbols in different groups do not affect each other, or that particular items expressed between the same symbols in the same groups do not affect each other. For example, each R in formula hcThe specific options can be the same or different, and the specific items expressed mutually are different; the specific options for each k may be the same or different in different cases.
The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to molecular entities and compositions that are physiologically tolerable and do not typically produce an allergic or similar untoward reaction, such as gastrointestinal upset, dizziness and the like, when administered to a human. Preferably, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" as used herein refers to those approved by a federal regulatory agency or a state government or listed in the U.S. pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans.
The term "carrier" refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or matrix with which the compound is administered. Such pharmaceutical carriers can be sterile liquids, such as water and oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like. Aqueous saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions are preferably used as carriers, particularly injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in e.w. martin, "Remington's pharmaceutical sciences".
The "hydrate" of the present invention refers to the compound or salt thereof provided by the present invention, which further comprises water bonded by non-covalent intermolecular forces in a chemical amount or in a non-chemical equivalent amount, and may be said to be an association of solvent molecules with water.

Vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 have the same biological potency in humans. When vitamin D2 or vitamin D3 enters the circulation, it is hydroxylated by cytochrome P450-vitamin D-25-hydroxylase to give 25-hydroxyvitamin D. The metabolite 25-hydroxyvitamin D is biologically inactive and can be further hydroxylated in the kidney by cytochrome P450-monooxygenase, 25(OH) D-la-hydroxylase, to give 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D. When serum calcium is reduced, -like paraglandular hormone (PTH) production is increased, which regulates pan homeostasis and increases plasma calcium levels by increasing the conversion of 25-hydroxy vitamin to 1, 25-dihydroxy vitamin D.
In an embodiment of the invention, the appropriate amount of vitamin D compound is selected to provide sufficient vitamin D nutrition during the dosing interval without interfering with the ability of the cathepsin K inhibitor to obtain a bone resorption inhibiting effect.
"synthetic vitamin D analogs" include non-naturally occurring compounds that produce a vitamin D-like effect.
"calcium" includes, but is not limited to, calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, or any other compound containing elemental calcium. Calcium is essential for human health and is required for the integrity of the skeletal structure. The ionized portion of serum calcium is physiologically important and is tightly maintained by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1, 25-dihydroxy vitamin D. As such, a decrease in blood calcium (or simply inadequate dietary calcium) can rapidly affect PTH and 1, 25-dihydroxy vitamin D levels, as well as adversely affect bone health, and thus the supply of supplemental calcium tends to reduce PTH levels to reduce hook removal from skeletal storage, as well as to contribute to bone health.
"RANKL inhibitor" refers to an inhibitor of the receptor active agent NF- κ β ligand (RANKL). RANKL is a key stimulator of osteoclast formation and maturation. Non-limiting examples of RANKL inhibitors include AMG-162.

For oral administration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of tablets containing 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 25.0, 50.0, 100 and 500 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. The medicament generally comprises from about 0.01mg to about 500mg of active ingredient, preferably from about 1mg to about 100mg of active ingredient. During infusion at a constant rate, the most preferred intravenous dose is from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg/minute. The compounds of the invention may advantageously be administered in a single daily dose form, or the total daily dose may be administered in divided doses of two, three or four times daily. In addition, preferred compounds of the present invention may be administered in intranasal form by using suitable intranasal matrices, or they may be administered by transdermal routes using such transdermal patch forms as are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. For administration in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dose administered will, of course, be administered continuously rather than intermittently during the dosage regimen.
The compounds of the present invention may be used in combination with other agents useful in the treatment of cathepsin-mediated conditions. The components of such combinations may be administered separately or simultaneously at different time points during the course of therapy, in divided or single combination forms. The invention is therefore to be understood as embracing all such regimes of simultaneous or alternating treatment and the term "administering" is to be interpreted accordingly. It will be appreciated that the scope of combinations of the compounds of the present invention with other agents useful in the treatment of cathepsin mediated conditions includes in principle any combination with any pharmaceutical composition useful in the treatment of conditions involving oestrogen function.
