"Bioisosteres are substituents or groups that have chemical or physical similarities, and which produce broadly similar biological properties." Silverman, Richard B., The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, 2nd Edition, Amsterdam: Elsevier Academic Press, 2004, p. 29.
While not intending to be limiting, organic acid functional groups are bioisoteres of carboxylic acids. An organic acid functional group is an acidic functional group on an organic molecule. While not intending to be limiting, organic acid functional groups may comprise an oxide of carbon, sulfur, or phosphorous. Thus, while not intending to limit the scope of the invention in any way, in certain compounds Y is a carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, or phosphonic acid functional group. 18068 PROV (AP)
Additionally, an amide or ester of one of the organic acids shown above comprising up to 14 carbon atoms is also contemplated. In an ester, a hydrocarbyl moiety replaces a hydrogen atom of an acid such as in a carboxylic acid ester, e.g. CCbMe, CCbEt, etc.
In an amide, an amine group replaces an OH of the acid. Examples of amides include CON(R2)2, CON(OR2)R2, CON(CH2CH2OH)2, and CONH(CH2CH2OH) where R2 is independently H, CrC6 alkyl, phenyl, or biphenyl. Moieties such as CONHSO2R2 are also amides of the carboxylic acid notwithstanding the fact that they may also be considered to be amides of the sulfonic acid R2-Sθ3H. The following amides are also specifically contemplated, CONSO2-biphenyl, CONSO2-phenyl, CONSO2-heteroaryl, and CONSO2-naphthyl. The biphenyl, phenyl, heteroaryl, or naphthyl may be substituted or unsubstituted. Han et. a/. (Biorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 15 (2005) 3487-3490) has recently shown that the groups shown below are suitable bioisosteres for a carboxylic acid. The activity of compounds with these groups in inhibiting HCV NS3 protease was comparable to or superior to similar compounds where the group is replaced by CO2H. Thus, Y could be any group depicted below.
18068 PROV (AP)
Carboxylic acid bioisosteres according to Han et. a/.
Figure imgf000005_0001
While not intending to limit the scope of the invention in any way, Y may also be hydroxymethyl or an ether thereof comprising up to 14 carbon atoms. An ether is a functional group wherein a hydrogen of an hydroxyl is replaced by carbon, e.g., Y is CH2OCH3, CH2OCH2CH3, etc. These groups are also bioisosteres of a carboxylic acid.
"Up to 14 carbon atoms" means that the entire Y moiety, including the carbonyl carbon of a carboxylic acid ester or amide, and both carbon atoms in the -CH2O-C of an ether has 0, 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 , 12, 13, or 14 carbon atoms.
Finally, while not intending to limit the scope of the invention in any way, Y may be a tetrazolyl functional group.
While not intending to be limiting, examples of compounds having the identified Y are depicted below. In these examples R is H or hydrocarbyl, subject to the constraints defined herein. Each structure below represents a specific embodiment which is individually contemplated, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs of 18068 PROV (AP) compounds which are represented by the structures. However, other examples are possible which may not fall within the scope of the structures shown below.

Aryl is an aromatic ring or ring system such as phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl, and the like. 18068 PROV (AP)
Heteroaryl is aryl having one or more N, O, or S atoms in the ring, i.e. one or more ring carbons are substituted by N, O, and/or S. While not intending to be limiting, examples of heteroaryl include thienyl, pyridinyl, furyl, benzothienyl, benzofuryl, imidizololyl, indolyl, and the like.
A substituent of aryl or heteroaryl may have up to 20 non-hydrogen atoms each in any stable combination and as many hydrogen atoms as necessary, wherein the non-hydrogen atoms are C, N, O, S, P, F, Cl, Br, and/or I in any stable combination. However, the total number of non-hydrogen atoms on all of the substituents combined must also be 20 or less. A substituent must be sufficiently stable for the compound to be useful as described herein. In addition to the atoms listed above, a substituent may also have a metal cation or other stable cation having an atom not listed above if the substituent is acidic and the salt form is stable. For example, -OH may form an -O Na+ salt or CO2H may form a CO2-K+ salt. Thus, while not intending to limit the scope of the invention in any way, a substituent may be: hvdrocarbyl, i.e. a moiety consisting of only carbon and hydrogen such as alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and the like, including linear, branched or cyclic hydrocarbyl, and combinations thereof; hvdrocarbyloxy, meaning O-hydrocarbyl such as OCH3, OCH2CH3, O-cyclohexyl, etc, up to 19 carbon atoms; other ether substituents such as CH2OCH3, (CH2)2θCH(CH3)2, and the like; thioether substituents including S-hydrocarbyl and other thioether substituents; hvdroxyhvdrocarbyl, meaning hydrocarbyl-OH such as CH2OH, C(CHs)2OH, etc, up to 19 carbon atoms; nitrogen substituents such as NO2, CN, and the like, including amino, such as NH2, NH(CH2CH3OH), NHCH3, and the like up to 19 carbon atoms; carbonyl substituents, such as CO2H, ester, amide, and the like; halogen, such as chloro, fluoro, bromo, and the like fluorocarbyl, such as CF3, CF2CF3, etc.; phosphorous substituents, such as PO3 2-, and the like; sulfur substituents, including S-hydrocarbyl, SH, SO3H, SO2-hydrocarbyl, SO3-hydrocarbyl, and the like. Substituted aryl or heteroaryl may have as many substituents as the ring or ring system will bear, and the substituents may be the same or different. Thus, for example, an aryl ring or a heteroaryl ring may be substituted with chloro and methyl; methyl, OH, and F; CN, NO2, and ethyl; and the like including any conceivable substituent or combination of substituent possible in light of this disclosure.
Subsituted aryl or substituted heteroaryl also includes a bicyclic or polycyclic ring system wherein one or more rings are aromatic and one or more rings are not. For example, indanonyl, indanyl, indanolyl, tetralonyl, and the like are substituted aryl. For this type of polycyclic ring system, an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring, not a non- aromatic ring, must be attached to the remainder of the molecule.

A "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is any salt that retains the activity of the parent compound and does not impart any additional deleterious or untoward effects on the subject to which it is administered and in the context in which it is administered compared to the parent compound. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt also refers to any salt which may form in vivo as a result of administration of an acid, another salt, or a prodrug which is converted into an acid or salt. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of acidic functional groups may be derived from organic or inorganic bases. The salt may comprise a mono or polyvalent ion. Of particular interest are the inorganic ions lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Organic salts may be made with amines, particularly ammonium salts such as mono-, di- and trialkyl amines or ethanol amines. Salts may also be formed with caffeine, tromethamine and similar molecules. Hydrochloric acid or some other pharmaceutically acceptable acid may form a salt with a compound that includes a basic group, such as an amine or a pyridine ring.
A "prodrug" is a compound which is converted to a therapeutically active compound after administration, and the term should be interpreted as broadly herein as is generally understood in the art. While not intending to limit the scope of the invention, conversion may occur by hydrolysis of an ester group or some other biologically labile group. 18068 PROV (AP)
Generally, but not necessarily, a prodrug is inactive or less active than the therapeutically active compound to which it is converted. Ester prodrugs of the compounds disclosed herein are specifically contemplated. An ester may be derived from a carboxylic acid of C1 (i.e. the terminal carboxylic acid of a natural prostaglandin), or an ester may be derived from a carboxylic acid functional group on another part of the molecule, such as on a phenyl ring. While not intending to be limiting, an ester may be an alkyl ester, an aryl ester, or a heteroaryl ester. The term alkyl has the meaning generally understood by those skilled in the art and refers to linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl moieties. Ci-e alkyl esters are particularly useful, where alkyl part of the ester has from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and includes, but is not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, /so-butyl, f-butyl, pentyl isomers, hexyl isomers, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and combinations thereof having from 1-6 carbon atoms, etc. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that for administration or the manufacture of medicaments the compounds disclosed herein can be admixed with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which per se are well known in the art. Specifically, a drug to be administered systemically, it may be confected as a powder, pill, tablet or the like, or as a solution, emulsion, suspension, aerosol, syrup or elixir suitable for oral or parenteral administration or inhalation. For solid dosage forms or medicaments, non-toxic solid carriers include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, the polyalkylene glycols, talcum, cellulose, glucose, sucrose and magnesium carbonate. The solid dosage forms may be uncoated or they may be 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 may be employed. They may also be coated by the technique described in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,256,108; 4,166,452; and 4,265,874 to form osmotic therapeutic tablets for control release. Liquid pharmaceutically administrable dosage forms can, for example, comprise a solution or suspension of one or more of the presently useful compounds and optional pharmaceutical adjutants in a carrier, such as for example, water, saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, ethanol and the like, to thereby form a solution or suspension. If desired, the pharmaceutical composition to be administered may also contain minor amounts of nontoxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents and the like. Typical examples of such auxiliary agents are sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine, sodium acetate, triethanolamine oleate, etc. Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in this art; for example, see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 16th Edition, 1980. The composition of the formulation to be administered, in any event, contains a quantity of one or more of the presently useful compounds in an amount effective to provide the desired therapeutic effect.
Parenteral administration is generally characterized by injection, either subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously. Injectables can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions. Suitable excipients are, for example, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol, ethanol and the like. In addition, if desired, the injectable pharmaceutical compositions to be administered may also contain minor amounts of non-toxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents and the like. 18068 PROV (AP)
The amount of the presently useful compound or compounds administered is dependent on the therapeutic effect or effects desired, on the specific mammal being treated, on the severity and nature of the mammal's condition, on the manner of administration, on the potency and pharmacodynamics of the particular compound or compounds employed, and on the judgment of the prescribing physician. The therapeutically effective dosage of the presently useful compound or compounds may be in the range of about 0.5 or about 1 to about 100 mg/kg/day.
A liquid which is ophthalmically acceptable is formulated such that it can be administered topically to the eye. The comfort should be maximized as much as possible, although sometimes formulation considerations (e.g. drug stability) may necessitate less than optimal comfort. In the case that comfort cannot be maximized, the liquid should be formulated such that the liquid is tolerable to the patient for topical ophthalmic use. Additionally, an ophthalmically acceptable liquid should either be packaged for single use, or contain a preservative to prevent contamination over multiple uses.
For ophthalmic application, solutions or medicaments are often prepared using a physiological saline solution as a major vehicle. Ophthalmic solutions should preferably be maintained at a comfortable pH with an appropriate buffer system. The formulations may also contain conventional, pharmaceutically acceptable preservatives, stabilizers and surfactants.
Preservatives that may be used in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention include, but are not limited to, benzalkonium chloride, chlorobutanol, thimerosal, phenylmercuric acetate and phenylmercuric nitrate. A useful surfactant is, for example, Tween 80. Likewise, various useful vehicles may be used in the ophthalmic preparations of the present invention. These vehicles include, but are not limited to, polyvinyl alcohol, povidone, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, poloxamers, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose and purified water.

While there are many ways the compounds disclosed herein, one exemplary synthesis may begin with commercially available N-Boc hydrazine (1 , also known as f-butyl carbazate, Aldrich Chemical Company, see Scheme 1 ). N-arylation occurs to give 2 according to Buchwald's copper-catalyzed procedure [Org. Lett. 2001 , 3, 3803-3805) using a wide variety of substituted bromophenyl and other bromoaryl compounds a. The haloarenes a are either available commercially or may be made according to published literature procedures. For example, United States Patent Application No. 11/009,298, filed on December 10, 2004 and United States Provisional Patent Application 60/742,779 filed on December 6, 2005, both of which are expressly incorporated by reference herein, disclose methods of making a number of useful substituted bromophenyl compounds. These procedures may also be readily adapted to other bromoaryl compounds such as substituted bromothienyl, substituted bromofuryl, substituted bromopyridinyl, substituted bromonaphthyl, substituted bromobenzothienyl, and the like. Intermediate 2 is then alkylated on N' using electrophiles b to provide intermediate 3.
Examples of b include ethyl 7-bromoheptanoate (commercially available from Aldrich Chemical Company) and methyl 7-bromohept-5-ynoate [Org. Synth. 1993, Collect. Vol. VIII.415420). Examples of b also include electrophiles bearing aryl and heteroaryl groups (e.g. methyl 4-(2-bromoethyl)benzoate [available in one step from commercially available 4-(2-bromoethyl)benzoic acid] and methyl 5-(3-bromopropyl)-thiophene-2-carboxylate [see WO 2004/037786, incorporated by reference herein]). Other methods for preparing b are readily ascertained by those of ordinary skill in the art based upon this disclosure.

In another hypothetical example, benzophenone hydrazone (4, Aldrich chemical company) serves as the stating material (see Scheme 2). In this case, N'-arylation occurs to give 5 according to Buchwald's palladium- catalyzed procedure (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 6621-6622) using a wide variety of substituted bromophenyl and 18068 PROV (AP) other bromoaryl compounds a. Deprotection reveals the aryl hydrazine 6 which is protected to give N-Boc-N'-aryl hydrazine 7. A large variety of substituted aryl hydrazines such as 6 are commercially available.
Intermediates 2 and 7 are regioisomers. In certain cases, the copper chemistry used to arrive at 2 will also afford compound 7 (see Buchwald, above, and Buchwald, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001 , 123, 7727-7729). Palladium- catalyzed arylation may also afford mixtures of regioisomers (Wang, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1999, 40, 3543-3546), mainly favoring isomer 2. This represents an alternative approach to compound 7.

Intermediate 3 may be acylated or sulfonylated using an appropriate acyl or sulfonyl halide d to afford intermediate 8. Removal of the Boc protecting group then affords compound 9 (Scheme 3).
In another hypothetical example, intermediate 7 may be acylated or sulfonylated using an appropriate acyl or sulfonyl halide d to afford intermediate 10. Removal of the Boc protecting group and alkylation of the resulting amine 11 then affords compound 12 (Scheme 4). Compounds 9 and 12 may be the target compounds, or may require deprotection(s) and/or functionalization (depending on the nature of B and Y) to arrive at the target compounds.

Based upon this disclosure, numerous other ways of preparing the compounds disclosed herein will be apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
A person of ordinary skill in the art understands the meaning of the stereochemistry associated with the hatched wedge/solid wedge structural features. For example, an introductory organic chemistry textbook (Francis A. Carey, Organic Chemistry, New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company 1987, p. 63) states "a wedge indicates a bond coming from the plane of the paper toward the viewer" and the hatched wedge, indicated as a "dashed line", "represents a bond receding from the viewer."
Treatment of inflammatory bowel disease may be accomplished by the administration of the compounds described herein to the suffering mammal. Inflammatory bowel disease describes a variety of diseases characterized by inflammation of the bowels including, but not limited to, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Treatment may be accomplished by oral administration, by suppository, or parenteral administration, or some other suitable method.
While not intending to limit the scope of the invention in any way, delivery of the compounds disclosed herein to the colon via oral dosage forms may be accomplished by any of a number of methods known in the art. For example, reviews by Chourasia and Jain in J Pharm Pharmaceut Sci 6 (1): 33-66, 2003 and Shareef et. al (AAPS PharmSci 2003; 5 (2) Article 17) describe a number of useful methods. While not intending to limit the scope of the invention in any way these methods include 1 ) administration of a prodrug, including an azo or a carbohydrate based prodrug; 2) coating the drug with, or encapsulating or impregnating the drug into a polymer designed for delivery to the colon, 3) time released delivery of the drug, 4) use of a bioadhesive system; and the like.
While not intending to be bound in any way by theory, it is believed that intestinal microflora are capable of reductive cleavage of an azo bond leaving the two nitrogen atoms as amine functional groups. While not intending to limit the scope of the invention in any way, the azo prodrug approach has been used to deliver to 5-aminosalicylic acid to the colons of humans in clinical trials for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. It is also believed that bacteria of the lower Gl also have enzymes which can digest glycosides, glucuronides, cyclodextrins, dextrans, and other carbohydrates, and ester prodrugs formed from these carbohydrates have been shown to deliver the parent active drugs selectively to the colon. For example, in vivo and in vitro studies on rats and guinea pigs with prodrugs of dexamethasone, prednisolone, hydrocortisone, and fludrocortisone, suggest that glycoside conjugates may be useful for the delivery of steroids to the human colon. Other in vivo studies have suggested that glucouronide, cyclodextrin, and dextran prodrugs of steroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are useful for delivery of these drugs to the lower Gl tract. An amide of salicylic acid and glutamic acid has been shown to be useful for the delivery of salicylic acid to the colon of rabbit and dog.
While not intending to limit the scope of the invention in any way, carbohydrate polymers such as amylase, arabinogalactan, chitosan, chondroiton sulfate, dextran, guar gum, pectin, xylin, and the like, or azo-group containing polymers can be used to coat a drug compound, or a drug may be impregnated or encapsulated in the polymer. It is believed that after oral administration, the polymers remain stable in the upper Gl tract, but are digested by the microflora of the lower Gl thus releasing the drug for treatment.
Polymers which are sensitive to pH may also be used since the colon has a higher pH than the upper Gl tract. Such polymers are commercially available. For example, Rohm Pharmaceuticals, Darmstadt, Germany, commercially provides pH dependent methacrylate based polymers and copolymers which have varying solubilities 18068 PROV (AP) over different pH ranges based upon the number of free carboxylate groups in the polymer under the tradename Eudragit®. Several Eudragit® dosage forms are currently used to deliver salsalazine for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Time release systems, bioadhesive systems, and other delivery systems have also been studied. The foregoing description details specific methods and compositions that can be employed to practice the present invention, and represents the best mode contemplated. However, it is apparent for one of ordinary skill in the art that further compounds with the desired pharmacological properties can be prepared in an analogous manner, and that the disclosed compounds can also be obtained from different starting compounds via different chemical reactions. Similarly, different pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared and used with substantially the same result. Thus, however detailed the foregoing may appear in text, it should not be construed as limiting the overall scope hereof; rather, the ambit of the present invention is to be governed only by the lawful construction of the claims.
