Definitions

  • Described herein are compounds, methods of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments comprising such compounds, and methods of using such compounds to treat, prevent or diagnose diseases, disorders or conditions associated with prostaglandin D 2 .
  • Prostaglandins are acidic lipids derived from the metabolism of arachidonic acid by the action of cyclooxygenase enzymes and downstream synthases. Prostaglandins have a diverse range of activities and have a well recognized role in pain and inflammation.
  • Prostaglandin D 2 (PGD 2 ) is an acidic lipid mediator derived from the metabolism of arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenases and PGD 2 synthases.
  • PGD 2 is produced by mast cells, macrophages and Th2 lymphocytes in response to local tissue damage as well as allergic inflammation in diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis. Exogenous PGD 2 applied to bronchial airways elucidates many characteristics of an asthmatic response suggesting that PGD 2 plays an important pro-inflammatory role in allergic diseases.
  • PGD 2 binds to a number of receptors, which include the thromboxane-type prostanoid (TP) receptor, PGD 2 receptor (DP, also known as DPi) and chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2; also known as DP 2 ).
  • TP thromboxane-type prostanoid
  • DP PGD 2 receptor
  • CRTH2 chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells
  • compositions and medicaments for (a) diagnosing, preventing, or treating allergic and non-allergic inflammation, (b) mitigating adverse signs and symptoms that are associated with inflammation, and/or (c) controlling immunological, proliferative or disorders. These disorders may arise from one or more of a genetic, iatrogenic, immunological, infectious, metabolic, oncological, toxic, surgical, and/or traumatic etiology.
  • the methods, compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and medicaments described herein comprise antagonists of PGD 2 receptors.

  • Prostaglandin D 2 is an acidic lipid derived from the metabolism of arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenases and PGD 2 synthases. PGD 2 is produced by mast cells, macrophages and Th2 lymphocytes in response to local tissue damage as well as in response allergic inflammation observed in diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis. More specifically, exogenous PGD 2 applied to bronchial airways elicits many responses that are characteristic of acute asthma.
  • PGD 2 is a major mast cell product that acts via two receptors, the D-type prostanoid (DP, also known as DPi) and the chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2, also known as DP 2 ) receptors.
  • DP 2 mediates the chemotaxis of eosinophils, basophils, and Th2 lymphocytes, and DPi receptor plays an important role in eosinophil trafficking.
  • DPi antagonists do not inhibit the release of eosinophils when induced by the DP 2 - selective agonists.

  • DPi, DP 2 and dual DP 1 /DP 2 antagonists are useful in the treatment of allergic inflammation.
  • Activation of DP 2 is associated with chemotaxis and activation of Th2 lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils.

  • Prostaglandins are recognized physiological lipid acid mediators produced by the release of arachidonic acid from cell membrane phospholipids and converted to prostaglandins by the action of COXi and COX 2 cyclooxygenases and PG synthases.
  • the cyclooxygenases sequentially convert arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxide prostaglandin G 2 (PGG 2 ) and subsequently, prostaglandin H 2 (PGH 2 ).
  • PGH 2 can be converted to numerous different prostaglandins, such as PGE 2 , PGD 2 , PGF 2 (X, and PGI 2 as well as thromboxane A 2 , another eicosanoid signaling molecule. These mediators then elicit a wide variety of physiological responses including vasoconstriction or dilation, platelet aggregation, calcium transport, pain sensitization, hormone release, inflammatory and immune response, and cellular growth.
  • Prostaglandin D 2 is a major metabolite produced from the PGH 2 intermediate via hematopoietic PGD 2 synthase or lipocalin PGD 2 synthase.
  • PGD 2 is produced and thought to function in pain perception and sleep regulation.

Studies in preclinical species have observed the following features when PGD 2 is applied to in vivo preparations, or its overproduction is engineered by genetic manipulation: -Vasodilatation leading to erythema (flare) and -potentiation of oedema (wheal).
  • the main receptors that are activated by PGD 2 or its metabolites and mediate its effects are DP h CRTH2 (or DP 2 ) and TP.
  • DPi (or DP) is a G-protein coupled seven-transmembrane receptor that, upon activation by PGD 2 binding, leads to an increase in intracellular cAMP levels.
  • DPi is expressed in the brain, bronchial smooth muscle, vascular and airway smooth muscle, dendritic cells, and platelets and induces PGD 2 dependent bronchodilation, vasodilation, platelet aggregation inhibition, and suppression of cytokine production.
  • Genetic analysis of DPi function using knock-out mice has shown that mice lacking DP do not develop asthmatic responses in an ovalbumin-induced asthma model.
  • DP antagonism alleviate allergen-induced plasma exudation in the conjunctiva in a guinea pig allergic conjuctivitis model and antigen-induced esinophil infiltration into the lung in a guinea pig asthma model.
  • DP 2 is a G-protein coupled receptor and is typically highly expressed in Th2 lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils. DP 2 activation functions to directly activate and recruit Th2 lymphocytes and eosinophils. Activated Th2 lymphocytes produce and secrete inflammatory cytokines including IL4, IL5, and IL13. Despite binding PGD 2 with a similar affinity as DPi, DP 2 is not structurally related to DPi and signals through a different mechanism- the effects of DP 2 are mediated through Gi-dependent elevation in intracellular calcium levels and reduction in intracellular levels of cyclic AMP.
  • DP 2 activation is important in eosinophil recruitment in response to allergic challenge in such tissues as nasal mucosa, bronchial airways, and skin.
  • the application of either PGD 2 or selective DP 2 agonists both exacerbate and enhance allergic responses in lung and skin.

Description

HETEROARYL ANTAGONISTS OF PROSTAGLANDIN D2 RECEPTORS
RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S provisional patent application no. 61/101,074 entitled "HETEROARYL ANTAGONISTS OF PROSTAGLANDIN D2 RECEPTORS" filed on September 29, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Described herein are compounds, methods of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments comprising such compounds, and methods of using such compounds to treat, prevent or diagnose diseases, disorders or conditions associated with prostaglandin D2.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Prostaglandins are acidic lipids derived from the metabolism of arachidonic acid by the action of cyclooxygenase enzymes and downstream synthases. Prostaglandins have a diverse range of activities and have a well recognized role in pain and inflammation. Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is an acidic lipid mediator derived from the metabolism of arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenases and PGD2 synthases. PGD2 is produced by mast cells, macrophages and Th2 lymphocytes in response to local tissue damage as well as allergic inflammation in diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis. Exogenous PGD2 applied to bronchial airways elucidates many characteristics of an asthmatic response suggesting that PGD2 plays an important pro-inflammatory role in allergic diseases.
[0004] PGD2 binds to a number of receptors, which include the thromboxane-type prostanoid (TP) receptor, PGD2 receptor (DP, also known as DPi) and chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2; also known as DP2). DP2 is associated with promoting chemotaxis and activation of Th2 lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils. In particular, PGD2 binds to DP2, and mediates its effects through a Grdependant elevation in calcium levels and reduction of intracellular cyclic AMP. In Th2 lymphocytes, IL4, IL5 and IL13 cytokine production is stimulated. These cytokines have been implicated in numerous biological actions including, by way of example only, immunoglobulin E production, airway response, mucous secretion, and eosinophil recruitment.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] Presented herein are compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments, methods, for (a) diagnosing, preventing, or treating allergic and non-allergic inflammation, (b) mitigating adverse signs and symptoms that are associated with inflammation, and/or (c) controlling immunological, proliferative or disorders. These disorders may arise from one or more of a genetic, iatrogenic, immunological, infectious, metabolic, oncological, toxic, surgical, and/or traumatic etiology. In one aspect, the methods, compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and medicaments described herein comprise antagonists of PGD2 receptors. In one aspect, the methods, compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and medicaments described herein comprise antagonists of DP2
[0006] In one aspect provided herein are compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V), pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, and pharmaceutically acceptable solvates thereof, which are anatgonists OfDP2, and are used to treat patients suffering from one or more PGD2-dependent conditions or diseases, including, but not limited to, asthma, rhinitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung fibrosis, arthritis, allergy, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome, myocardial infarction, aneurysm, stroke, cancer, endotoxic shock, proliferative disorders and inflammatory conditions. In some embodiments, PGD2- dependent conditions or diseases include those wherein an absolute or relative excess of PGD2 is present and/or observed.
[0007] In one aspect is a compound having the structure of Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutically acceptable solvate, iV-oxide, or pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug thereof:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[00196] Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is an acidic lipid derived from the metabolism of arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenases and PGD2 synthases. PGD2 is produced by mast cells, macrophages and Th2 lymphocytes in response to local tissue damage as well as in response allergic inflammation observed in diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis. More specifically, exogenous PGD2 applied to bronchial airways elicits many responses that are characteristic of acute asthma. [00197] PGD2 is a major mast cell product that acts via two receptors, the D-type prostanoid (DP, also known as DPi) and the chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2, also known as DP2) receptors. DP2 mediates the chemotaxis of eosinophils, basophils, and Th2 lymphocytes, and DPi receptor plays an important role in eosinophil trafficking. DPi antagonists do not inhibit the release of eosinophils when induced by the DP2- selective agonists. However, eosinophils in human bone marrow specimens express DPi and DP2 receptors at similar levels and human peripheral blood expresses both DPi and DP2, but the DPi receptor is expressed at lower levels. In agreement with this, the chemotaxis of human peripheral blood eosinophils is inhibited by both DPi and DP2 antagonists. Accordingly, DPi, DP2 and dual DP 1/DP2 antagonists are useful in the treatment of allergic inflammation. [00198] Activation of DP2 is associated with chemotaxis and activation of Th2 lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils. In particular, PGD2 binds to DP2 and mediates many of its effects through a Grdependent elevation of intracellular calcium levels and reduction of cyclic AMP. In Th2 lymphocytes, IL4, IL5 and IL 13 cytokine production are also stimulated by DP2 activation. These cytokines have been implicated in numerous biological actions including, by way of example only, immunoglobulin E production, airway response, mucous secretion, and eosinophil recruitment.
[00199] The terms CRTH2 and DP2, refer to the same receptor and are used interchangeably herein. Likewise, another common name for DP is DPi, and the two terms are used interchangeably herein. Illustrative Biological Activity
[00200] Prostaglandins (PGs) are recognized physiological lipid acid mediators produced by the release of arachidonic acid from cell membrane phospholipids and converted to prostaglandins by the action of COXi and COX2 cyclooxygenases and PG synthases. The cyclooxygenases sequentially convert arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxide prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) and subsequently, prostaglandin H2 (PGH2). Depending on the tissue, physiological signal, and/or synthase type, PGH2 can be converted to numerous different prostaglandins, such as PGE2, PGD2, PGF2(X, and PGI2 as well as thromboxane A2, another eicosanoid signaling molecule. These mediators then elicit a wide variety of physiological responses including vasoconstriction or dilation, platelet aggregation, calcium transport, pain sensitization, hormone release, inflammatory and immune response, and cellular growth.
[00201] Prostaglandin D2 is a major metabolite produced from the PGH2 intermediate via hematopoietic PGD2 synthase or lipocalin PGD2 synthase. In the brain and central nervous system, PGD2 is produced and thought to function in pain perception and sleep regulation. In other tissues, PGD2 is produced primarily in immunoglobulin E (IgE) activated mast cells and to a lesser extent, in macrophages, dendritic cells, T helper 2 (Th2) lymphocytes and other leukocytes. In the cell, PGD2 is rapidly metabolized and converted to other downstream effectors including A12PGJ2, 9αl lβPGF2, 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGD2, and 15-deoxy-Δ12'14PGD2.. [00202] Mast-cell-derived PGD2 is produced in high concentrations in response to an allergen challenge. Studies in preclinical species have observed the following features when PGD2 is applied to in vivo preparations, or its overproduction is engineered by genetic manipulation: -Vasodilatation leading to erythema (flare) and -potentiation of oedema (wheal).
-Recruitment of eosinophils and Th2 lymphocytes.
-Modulation of Th2-cytokine production.
-Bronchoconstriction.
[00203] Injection OfPGD2 into human skin has been shown to produce a long lasting erythema, to potentiate the effects of other mediators on induration and leukocyte infiltration in human skin and to enhance oedema formation in rat skin. It is most likely that these effects of PGD2, like those of other vasodilator prostaglandins, are due to an increased blood flow to the inflamed lesion and are, therefore, most likely to be mediated predominantly by the DPi receptor. Although these observations make it clear that DPi mediates the vascular effects of PGD2, the capacity of PGD2 to promote the cellular changes associated with inflammation is not due to an action on DPi.
[00204] The main receptors that are activated by PGD2 or its metabolites and mediate its effects are DPh CRTH2 (or DP2) and TP.
[00205] DPi (or DP) is a G-protein coupled seven-transmembrane receptor that, upon activation by PGD2 binding, leads to an increase in intracellular cAMP levels. DPi is expressed in the brain, bronchial smooth muscle, vascular and airway smooth muscle, dendritic cells, and platelets and induces PGD2 dependent bronchodilation, vasodilation, platelet aggregation inhibition, and suppression of cytokine production. Genetic analysis of DPi function using knock-out mice has shown that mice lacking DP do not develop asthmatic responses in an ovalbumin-induced asthma model. Analysis of selective DP anatgonists in guinea pig allergic rhinitis models demonstrated dramatic inhibition of early nasal responses, as assessed by sneezing, mucosal plasma exudation and eosinophil infiltration. DP antagonism alleviate allergen-induced plasma exudation in the conjunctiva in a guinea pig allergic conjuctivitis model and antigen-induced esinophil infiltration into the lung in a guinea pig asthma model.
[00206] Much of the pro-inflammatory activity of PGD2 is through interaction with DP2 (or CRTH2). DP2 is a G-protein coupled receptor and is typically highly expressed in Th2 lymphocytes, eosinophils and basophils. DP2 activation functions to directly activate and recruit Th2 lymphocytes and eosinophils. Activated Th2 lymphocytes produce and secrete inflammatory cytokines including IL4, IL5, and IL13. Despite binding PGD2 with a similar affinity as DPi, DP2 is not structurally related to DPi and signals through a different mechanism- the effects of DP2 are mediated through Gi-dependent elevation in intracellular calcium levels and reduction in intracellular levels of cyclic AMP. DP2 activation is important in eosinophil recruitment in response to allergic challenge in such tissues as nasal mucosa, bronchial airways, and skin. The application of either PGD2 or selective DP2 agonists both exacerbate and enhance allergic responses in lung and skin. DP2 activation appears to have a crucial role in mediating allergic responses, and thus the use of antagonists of PGD2 activation of the DP2 receptor are an attractive approach to treat the inflammatory component of allergic diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, and dermatitis.
[00207] TP receptors primarily function to antagonize DPi receptor's effects such as promoting bronchoconstriction, vasoconstriction, and platelet aggregation. While TP receptor's main ligand is thromboxane A2, it also binds and is activated by the PGD2 derivative, 9αl lβPGF2. TP is a
Gq-coupled prostanoid receptor that binds thromboxane with high affinity, promoting platelet aggregation and constriction of both vascular and airway smooth muscle. PGD2 activates the TP receptor in human bronchial muscle, probably through the formation of the 11-ketoreductase metabolite 9αl lβPGF2. The bronchoconstrictor effects of TP dominate over the bronchodilator effects of DPi in the airways.
[00208] DPi and DP2 have crucial, and complementary, roles in the physiological response of animals to PGD2 and blockade of either one or both of these receptors may prove beneficial in alleviating allergic diseases or conditions triggered by PGD2, such as, but not limited to, allergic rhinitis, asthma, dermatitis, and allergic conjunctivitis. In one aspect, blockade of DP2 and TP activity is beneficial in alleviating allergic diseases or conditions triggered by PGD2, such as, but not limited to, allergic rhinitis, asthma, dermatitis, and allergic conjunctivitis. In another aspect, blockade of DPi, DP2 and TP activity is beneficial in alleviating allergic diseases or conditions triggered by PGD2, such as, but not limited to, allergic rhinitis, asthma, dermatitis, and allergic conjunctivitis.

[00281] The starting material used for the synthesis of the compounds of Formula (I) described in the prior section are either synthesized or obtained from commercial sources, such as, but not limited to, Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, Wis.), or Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, Mo.). The compounds described herein, and other related compounds having different substituents are synthesized using known techniques and materials, including those found in March, ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 4th Ed., (Wiley 1992); Carey and Sundberg, ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 4th Ed., VoIs. A and B (Plenum 2000, 2001), and Green and Wuts, PROTECTIVE GROUPS IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS 3rd Ed., (Wiley 1999). General methods for the preparation of compounds can be modified by the use of appropriate reagents and conditions for the introduction of the various moieties found in the formulae as provided herein. [00282] In one aspect, compounds described herein are prepared according to Scheme 1 (where A1, A2, A3, A4, RB, R6, R10, R11 and R13 are as described herein). Scheme 1:
Figure imgf000054_0001
[00283] In one aspect, 2-halo-benzaldehydes, such as 2-bromobenzaldehydes of structure I are reacted with amines of structure II under reductive animation conditions to provide secondary amines of structure III. Secondary amines of structure III are then reacted with acid chlorides, chloroformates, isocyantes, sulfonylchlorides and the like, to provide 2-bromobenzylamines of structure V. In some embodiments, amines of structure III are reacted with, but not limited to, a carboxylic acid and coupling reagent such as EDC, DCC, BOP, HATU or the like, or a carboxylic acid activated ester or an acid halide, alkylchloroformates, arylchloroformates, benzylchloroformates, alkylisocyanates, benzylisocyanates, arylisocyanates, alkylsulfonyl chlorides, arylsulfonyl chlorides, heteroarylsulfonyl chlorides, or the like in dichloromethane, dichloroethane, tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxyethane or the like in the presence of a hindered base such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, pyridine or the like, to afford compounds of structure V.
[00284] 2-Bromobenzylamines of structure V are converted to boronic esters of structure VI via metal-mediated reactions with boranes. Other methods of borylation are known, including but not limited to the Miyaura borylation reaction and other magnesium, lithium, copper, irridium and palladium mediated reactions of triflates or halides with boranes (T. Ishiyama, et al., J. Org. Chem., 1995, 60, 7508-7510; X.-J. Wang, et al., Org. Lett., 2006, 8, 305-307; M. Murata, et al., Synlett, 2006, 1867-1870; W. Zhu, D. Ma, Org. Lett., 2006, 8, 261-263). [00285] Boronic esters of structure VI are coupled to halogen containing heteroaryl compounds of structure VII under palladium mediated coupling conditions to provide esters of structure VIII. Other metal mediated coupling reactions to form phenyl-heteroaryl compounds of structure VIII include, but are not limited to Suzuki reactions, Stille cross couplings, Negishi couplings, Kumada couplings, Ullmann reactions, Hiyama Coupling, and variants thereof (Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions, Armin de Meijere (Editor), Francois Diederich (Editor), John Wiley & Sons; 2nd edition, 2004; Ozdemir, et al, Tetrahedron, 2005, 61, 9791-9798; Ackermann, et al, Org. Lett., 2006, 8, 3457-3460; Blakey, et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 2003, 125, 6046-6047; Dai, et al, Org. Lett., 2004, 6, 221-224; Yoshikai, et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 2005, 127, 17978-17979; Tang, et al, J. Org. Chem., 2006, 71, 2167-2169; Murata, et al, Synthesis, 2001, 2231-2233). [00286] The ester group of amides of structure VIII is then hydro lyzed to form carboxylic acid compounds of structure IX.

[00290] Reaction of benzylamines of structure III with chloro formates provides carbamates of structure XIII, which are used in the synthesis of compounds of Formula (I) as outlined in Scheme 1. Methods for the preparation of carbamates are known, such as described herein or in reference texts such as, but not limited to, Greene, T. W. and Wuts, P. G. M "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", 3rd Edition, p.549, New York: Wiley, 1999. In one aspect, benzylamines (compounds of structure V) are treated with phosgene or a phosgene equivalent, such as, for example, trichloromethyl chloroformate or carbonyldiimidazole, to yield an intemediate, which is then treated with a hydroxy containing compound R15-OH to provide carbamates of structure XIII. [00291] In one aspect, ureas of structure XVIII are prepared as depicted in Scheme 4:

The synthesis of ureas include the following procedures: C. Han, J. A. Porco, Jr, Org. Lett., 2007, 9, 1517-1520; H. Lebel, O. Leogane, Org. Lett., 2006, 8, 5717-5720; M. B. Bertrand, J. P. Wolfe, Tetrahedron, 2005, 61, 6447-6459; M. McLaughlin, M. Palucki, I. W. Davies, Org. Lett., 2006, 8, 3311-3314; J. A. Fritz, et al, Org. Lett., 2006, 8, 2531-2534; L. Marinescu, et al, J. Org. Chem., 2003, 68, 9453- 9455; S.-H. Lee, et al., Tetrahedron, 2004, 60, 3439-3443.

[00296] In another aspect, compounds of Formula (I) are synthesized as outlined in Scheme 6. Scheme 6:
Figure imgf000058_0001
[00297] In one aspect, 2-bromobenzaldehydes of structure I are converted to boronic esters of structure XXII via palladium metal-mediated reactions with boranes. Boronic esters of structure XXII are coupled with halogen containing heteroaryl compounds of structure VII under palladium mediated coupling conditions to provide phenyl-heteroaryl compounds of structure XXIII. Other metal mediated coupling reactions to form phenyl-heteroaryl compounds are known in the art. The aldehyde group of the phenyl-heteroaryl compounds of structure XXIII are reacted with amines (i.e. R1 ^NH2) under reductive amination conditions to provide secondary amines of structure XXIV. Secondary amines of structure XXIV are then reacted with a variety of acid chlorides, chloroformates, isocyantes, sulfonyl chlorides and the like, to provide compounds of structure VIII. Compounds of structure VIII are then treated with base to provide the free acid compounds of structure IX.
[00298] In cases where R6 is a halide or other leaving group, metal mediated coupling reactions may be used to introduce other groups at R6. Metal mediated coupling reactions include, but are not limited to Suzuki reactions, Stille cross couplings, Negishi couplings, Kumada couplings, Ullmann reactions, Hiyama Coupling, and variants thereof (Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions, Armin de Meijere (Editor), Francois Diederich (Editor), John Wiley & Sons; 2nd edition, 2004; Ozdemir, et al., Tetrahedron, 2005, 61, 9791-9798; Ackermann, et al, Org. Lett., 2006, 8, 3457-3460; Blakey, et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 2003, 125, 6046-6047; Dai, et al, Org.
Lett., 2004, 6, 221-224; Yoshikai, et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 2005, 127, 17978-17979; Tang, et al, J. Org. Chem., 2006, 71, 2167-2169; Murata, et al, Synthesis, 2001, 2231-2233). [00299] In one aspect, R6 in any of Schemes 1 to 8 is a nitro group (-NO2). Reduction of the nitro group provides the amine (i.e. R6 is -NH2). Typical reaction conditions for the reduction of nitro groups include treatment of the the nitro compound with iron trichloride in the presence of hydrazine. Other reaction conditions exist for the reduction of nitrobenzenes to anilines such as, but not limited to, catalytic hydrogenation using palladium-on-carbon (Bavin, P. M. G. (1973). Org. Synth.; Coll. Vol. 5: 30), platinum oxide, or Raney nickel (Allen, C. F. H.; VanAllan, J. (1955)). Org. Synth.; Coll. Vol. 3: 63), iron in acidic media (Fox, B. A.; Threlfall, T. L. (1973). Org. Synth.; Coll. Vol. 5: 346), sodium hydrosulfϊte (Redemann, C. T.; Redemann, C. E. (1955). Org. Synth.; Coll. Vol. 3: 69), sodium sulfide (or hydrogen sulfide and base), tin(II) chloride, titanium(III) chloride, and zinc. In one embodiment, when R6 is -NH2, such compounds are: (1) reacted with acyl halides to provide amides (i.e. R6 is -NHC(=O)R12); (2) reacted with chloroformates to provide carbamates (i.e. R6 is -NHC(=O)OR12); (3) reacted with isocyanates to provide ureas (i.e. R6 is -NHC(=O)N(R13)2; (4) reacted with sulfonyl chlorides to provide sulfonamides (i.e. R6 is -SO2R12); or reacted with a variety of other electrophiles to provide derivatized amino groups.
[00300] In one aspect, the acetic acid moiety of compounds of Formula (I) are introduced using the chemistry outlined in Scheme 7.

[00302] In certain embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared according to Scheme

[00303] In one aspect, benzyl halides of structure XXVII are reacted with heterocycles of structure XXVIII to form benzyl heterocycles of structure XXIX. Boronate compounds of structure XXX are reacted with bromo heterocycles of structure VII under palladium mediated coupling conditions to form phenyl-heteroaryl compounds of structure XXXI. The ester group of the phenyl-heteroaryl compounds of structure XXXI is then hydro lyzed to form carboxylic acid compounds of structure XXXII. Each Rl 3 in Scheme 8 is independently defined as described herein. [00304] The preceding Schemes have exemplified the synthesis of compounds of Formula (I)

Use of Protecting Groups
[00307] In the reactions described, it is necessary in certain embodiments to protect reactive functional groups, for example hydroxy, amino, thiol or carboxy groups, where these are desired in the final product, to avoid their unwanted participation in the reactions. Protecting groups are used to block some or all reactive moieties and prevent such groups from participating in chemical reactions until the protective group is removed. In one embodiment, each protective group is removable by a different means. Protective groups that are cleaved under totally disparate reaction conditions fulfill the requirement of differential removal. In some embodiments, protective groups are removed by acid, base, and/or hydrogeno lysis. Groups such as trityl, dimethoxytrityl, acetal and t-butyldimethylsilyl are acid labile and are used in certain embodiments to protect carboxy and hydroxy reactive moieties in the presence of amino groups protected with Cbz groups, which are removable by hydrogenolysis, and/or Fmoc groups, which are base labile. In other embodiments, carboxylic acid and hydroxy reactive moieties are blocked with base labile groups such as, but not limited to, methyl, ethyl, and acetyl in the presence of amines blocked with acid labile groups such as t-butyl carbamate or with carbamates that are both acid and base stable but hydro lyrically removable.
[00308] In another embodiment, carboxylic acid and hydroxy reactive moieties are blocked with hydrolytically removable protective groups such as the benzyl group, while amine groups capable of hydrogen bonding with acids are blocked with base labile groups such as Fmoc. In another embodiment, carboxylic acid reactive moieties are protected by conversion to simple ester compounds as exemplified herein, or they are, in yet another embodiment, blocked with oxidatively-removable protective groups such as 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl, while co-existing amino groups are blocked with fluoride labile silyl carbamates.
[00309] Allyl blocking groups are useful in the presence of acid- and base- protecting groups since the former are stable and can be subsequently removed by metal or pi-acid catalysts. For example, an allyl-blocked carboxylic acid can be deprotected with a Pd(0)-catalyzed reaction in the presence of acid labile t-butyl carbamate or base-labile acetate amine protecting groups. Yet another form of protecting group is a resin to which a compound or intermediate is attached. As long as the residue is attached to the resin, that functional group is blocked and cannot react. Once released from the resin, the functional group is available to react. [00310] Typically blocking/protecting groups are, by way of example only:

[00311] Other protecting groups, plus a detailed description of techniques applicable to the creation of protecting groups and their removal are described in Greene and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, NY, 1999, and Kocienski, Protective Groups, Thieme Verlag, New York, NY, 1994, which are incorporated herein by reference for such disclosure. Further Forms of Compounds
[00312] In certain embodiments, compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are prepared as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt (which is a type of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt) by reacting the free base form of the compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic acid, including, but not limited to, inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid metaphosphoric acid, and the like; and organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, hexanoic acid, cyclopentanepropionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, tartaric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, 3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, arylsulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 1 ,2-ethanedisulfonic acid, 2- hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 4-methylbicyclo- [2.2.2]oct-2-ene-l-carboxylic acid, glucoheptonic acid, 4,4'-methylenebis-(3-hydroxy-2-ene-l - carboxylic acid), 3-phenylpropionic acid, trimethylacetic acid, tertiary butylacetic acid, lauryl sulfuric acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, hydroxynaphthoic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, and muconic acid.
[00313] By "pharmaceutically acceptable," as used herein, refers to a material, such as a carrier or diluent, which does not abrogate the biological activity or properties of the compound, and is relatively nontoxic, i.e., the material may be administered to an individual without causing undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the components of the composition in which it is contained.
[00314] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a formulation of a compound that does not cause significant irritation to an organism to which it is administered and does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the compound. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are obtained by reacting a compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) with acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid and the like. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are also obtained by reacting a compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) with a base to form a salt such as an ammonium salt, an alkali metal salt, such as a sodium or a potassium salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, such as a calcium or a magnesium salt, a salt of organic bases such as dicyclohexylamine, JV-methyl-D- glucamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine, and salts with amino acids such as arginine, lysine, and the like.
[00315] In other embodiments, compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are prepared as a pharmaceutically acceptable salts by reacting the free acid form of the compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic base, including, but not limited to organic bases such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, N-methylglucamine, and the like, or with an inorganic base such as aluminum hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and the like.
[00316] It should be understood that a reference to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt includes the solvent addition forms or crystal forms thereof, particularly solvates or polymorphs. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and are optionally formed during the process of crystallization with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Solvates of compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are conveniently prepared or formed during the processes described herein. By way of example only, hydrates of compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are conveniently prepared by recrystallization from an aqueous/organic solvent mixture, using organic solvents including, but not limited to, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ethanol, or methanol. In addition, the compounds provided herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the compounds and methods provided herein.
[00317] In yet other embodiments, the compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are prepared in various forms, including but not limited to, amorphous forms, milled forms and nano-particulate forms. In addition, compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) include crystalline forms, also known as polymorphs. Polymorphs include the different crystal packing arrangements of the same elemental composition of a compound. Polymorphs usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Various factors such as the recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, and storage temperature may cause a single crystal form to dominate. [00318] In some embodiments, compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are prepared as prodrugs. A "prodrug" refers to an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) which is administered as an ester (the "prodrug") to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is detrimental to mobility but which then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity, once inside the cell where water-solubility is beneficial. A further example of a prodrug might be a short peptide (polyaminoacid) bonded to an acid group where the peptide is metabolized to reveal the active moiety.
[00319] Prodrugs are generally drug precursors that, following administration to a subject and subsequent absorption, are converted to an active, or a more active species via some process, such as conversion by a metabolic pathway. Some prodrugs have a chemical group present on the prodrug that renders it less active and/or confers solubility or some other property to the drug. Once the chemical group has been cleaved and/or modified from the prodrug the active drug is generated. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they are easier to administer than the parent drug. In certain embodiments, the prodrug of a compound described herein is bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the prodrug of a compound described herein has improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug.
[00320] In other embodiments, prodrugs are designed as reversible drug derivatives, for use as modifiers to enhance drug transport to site-specific tissues. In specific embodiments, the design of prodrugs to date is to increase the effective water solubility of the therapeutic compound for targeting to regions where water is the principal solvent.

Stella, Prodrugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series; and Edward B. Roche, Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987.
[00321] Additionally, prodrug derivatives of compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are prepared, if desired (e.g., for further details see Saulnier et al., (1994), Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, Vol. 4, p. 1985). By way of example only, in one aspect appropriate prodrugs are prepared by reacting a non-derivatized compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) with a suitable carbamylating agent, such as, but not limited to, 1,1-acyloxyalkylcarbanochloridate, para- nitrophenyl carbonate, or the like. Prodrug forms of the herein described compounds, wherein the prodrug is metabolized in vivo to produce a derivative as set forth herein are included within the scope of the claims. Indeed, some of the herein-described compounds are a prodrug for another derivative or active compound.
[00322] In some embodiments, sites on the aromatic ring portion of compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are susceptible to various metabolic reactions Therefore incorporation of appropriate substituents on the aromatic ring structures will reduce, minimize or eliminate this metabolic pathway. In specific embodiments, the appropriate substituent to decrease or eliminate the susceptibility of the aromatic ring to metabolic reactions is, by way of example only, a halogen, or an alkyl group.
[00323] In another embodiment, the compounds described herein are labeled isotopically (e.g. with a radioisotope) or by another other means, including, but not limited to, the use of chromophores or fluorescent moieties, bioluminescent labels, or chemiluminescent labels. [00324] In yet another embodiment, the compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) possess one or more stereocenters and each center exists independently in either the R or S configuration. The compounds presented herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. In certain embodiments, compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are prepared as their individual stereoisomers by reacting a racemic mixture of the compound with an optically active resolving agent to form a pair of diastereoisomeric compounds, separating the diastereomers and recovering the optically pure enantiomers. In some embodiments, resolution of enantiomers is carried out using covalent diastereomeric derivatives of the compounds described herein. In other embodiments, dissociable complexes are utilized (e.g., crystalline diastereomeric salts). Diastereomers have distinct physical properties (e.g., melting points, boiling points, solubilities, reactivity, etc.) and are, in specific embodiments, separated by taking advantage of these dissimilarities. In these embodiments, the diastereomers are separated by chiral chromatography or by separation/resolution techniques based upon differences in solubility. The optically pure enantiomer is then recovered, along with the resolving agent, by any practical means that does not result in racemization. Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H. Wilen, "Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions", John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1981.
[00325] Additionally, in certain embodiments, the compounds provided herein exist as geometric isomers. The compounds and methods provided herein include all cis, trans, syn, anti, entgegen (E), and zusammen (Z) isomers as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein exist as tautomers. All tautomers are intended to be within the scope of the molecular formulas described herein. In additional embodiments of the compounds and methods provided herein, mixtures of enantiomers and/or diastereoisomers, resulting from a single preparative step, combination, or interconversion are envisioned.

In other embodiments, the compounds described herein exist in unsolvated form. Certain Pharmaceutical and Medical Terminology
[00351] The term "acceptable" with respect to a formulation, composition or ingredient, as used herein, means having no persistent detrimental effect on the general health of the subject being treated. [00352] The term "modulate," as used herein, means to interact with a target either directly or indirectly so as to alter the activity of the target, including, by way of example only, to enhance the activity of the target, to inhibit the activity of the target, to limit the activity of the target, or to extend the activity of the target.
[00353] The term "modulator," as used herein, refers to a molecule that interacts with a target either directly or indirectly. The interactions include, but are not limited to, the interactions of an agonist, partial agonist, an inverse agonist and antagonist. In one embodiment, a modulator is an antagonist.
[00354] The term "agonist," as used herein, refers to a molecule such as a compound, a drug, an enzyme activator or a hormone modulator that binds to a specific receptor and triggers a response in the cell. An agonist mimics the action of an endogenous ligand (such as prostaglandin, hormone or neurotransmitter) that binds to the same receptor.
[00355] The term "antagonist," as used herein, refers to a molecule such as a compound, which diminishes, inhibits, or prevents the action of another molecule or the activity of a receptor site.
Antagonists include, but are not limited to, competitive antagonists, non-competitive antagonists, uncompetitive antagonists, partial agonists and inverse agonists.
[00356] Competitive antagonists reversibly bind to receptors at the same binding site (active site) as the endogenous ligand or agonist, but without activating the receptor.
[00357] Non-competitive antagonists (also known as allosteric antagonists) bind to a distinctly separate binding site from the agonist, exerting their action to that receptor via the other binding site. Non-competitive antagonists do not compete with agonists for binding. The bound antagonists may result in a decreased affinity of an agonist for that receptor, or alternatively may prevent conformational changes in the receptor required for receptor activation after the agonist binds.
[00358] Uncompetitive antagonists differ from non-competitive antagonists in that they require receptor activation by an agonist before they can bind to a separate allosteric binding site.
[00359] Partial agonists are defined as drugs which, at a given receptor, might differ in the amplitude of the functional response that they elicit after maximal receptor occupancy. Although they are agonists, partial agonists can act as a competitive antagonist if co-administered with a full agonist, as it competes with the full agonist for receptor occupancy and producing a net decrease in the receptor activation observed with the full agonist alone.
[00360] An inverse agonist can have effects similar to an antagonist, but causes a distinct set of downstream biological responses. Constitutively active receptors which exhibit intrinsic or basal activity can have inverse agonists, which not only block the effects of binding agonists like a classical antagonist, but inhibit the basal activity of the receptor. [00361] The term "PGD2-dependent", as used herein, refers to conditions or disorders that would not occur, or would not occur to the same extent, in the absence OfPGD2.
[00362] The term "PGD2-mediated", as used herein, refers to refers to conditions or disorders that might occur in the absence of PGD2 but can occur in the presence of PGD2.
[00363] The term "asthma" as used herein refers to any disorder of the lungs characterized by variations in pulmonary gas flow associated with airway constriction of whatever cause
(intrinsic, extrinsic, or both; allergic or non-allergic). The term asthma may be used with one or more adjectives to indicate cause.
[00364] The term "rhinitis" as used herein refers to any disorder of the nose in which there is inflammation of the mucous lining of the nose by whatever cause (intrinsic, extrinsic or both; allergic or non-allergic).
[00365] The term "bone disease,' as used herein, refers to a disease or condition of the bone, including, but not limited to, inapproriate bone remodeling, loss or gain, osteopenia, osteomalacia, osteofϊbrosis, and Paget's disease.
[00366] The term "cardiovascular disease," as used herein refers to diseases affecting the heart or blood vessels or both, including but not limited to: arrhythmia (atrial or ventricular or both); atherosclerosis and its sequelae; angina; cardiac rhythm disturbances; myocardial ischemia; myocardial infarction; cardiac or vascular aneurysm; vasculitis, stroke; peripheral obstructive arteriopathy of a limb, an organ, or a tissue; reperfusion injury following ischemia of the brain, heart or other organ or tissue;endotoxic, surgical, or traumaticshock; hypertension, valvular heart disease, heart failure, abnormal blood pressure; shock; vasoconstriction (including that associated with migraines); vascular abnormality, inflammation, insufficiency limited to a single organ or tissue..
[00367] The term "cancer," as used herein refers to an abnormal growth of cells which tend to proliferate in an uncontrolled way and, in some cases, to metastasize (spread). The types of cancer include, but is not limited to, solid tumors (such as those of the bladder, bowel, brain, breast, endometrium, heart, kidney, lung, lymhatic tissue (lymphoma), ovary, pancreas or other endocrine organ (thyroid), prostate, skin (melanoma) or hematological tumors (such as the leukemias).
[00368] The term "carrier," as used herein, refers to relatively nontoxic chemical compounds or agents that facilitate the incorporation of a compound into cells or tissues.
[00369] The terms "co-administration" or the like, as used herein, are meant to encompass administration of the selected therapeutic agents to a single patient, and are intended to include treatment regimens in which the agents are administered by the same or different route of administration or at the same or different time. [00370] The term "dermatological disorder," as used herein refers to a skin disorder. Such dermatological disorders include, but are not limited to, proliferative or inflammatory disorders of the skin such as, atopic dermatitis, bullous disorders, collagenoses, contact dermatitis eczema,
Kawasaki Disease, rosacea, Sjogren-Larsso Syndrome, urticaria.
[00371] The term "diluent" refers to chemical compounds that are used to dilute the compound of interest prior to delivery. Diluents can also be used to stabilize compounds because they can provide a more stable environment. Salts dissolved in buffered solutions (which also can provide pH control or maintenance) are utilized as diluents in the art, including, but not limited to a phosphate buffered saline solution.
[00372] The terms "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount," as used herein, refer to a sufficient amount of an agent or a compound being administered which will relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disease or condition being treated. The result can be reduction and/or alleviation of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. For example, an "effective amount" for therapeutic uses is the amount of the composition comprising a compound as disclosed herein required to provide a clinically significant decrease in disease symptoms. An appropriate "effective" amount in any individual case may be determined using techniques, such as a dose escalation study.
[00373] The terms "enhance" or "enhancing," as used herein, means to increase or prolong either in potency or duration a desired effect.

Methods of Dosing and Treatment Regimens
[00422] In one embodiment, the compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are used in the preparation of medicaments for the treatment of PGD2- dependent or PGD2-mediated diseases or conditions. In addition, a method for treating any of the diseases or conditions described herein in a subject in need of such treatment, involves administration of pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutically active metabolite, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug, or pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof, in therapeutically effective amounts to said subject. [00423] In certain embodiments, the compositions containing the compound(s) described herein are administered for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatments. In certain therapeutic applications, the compositions are administered to a patient already suffering from a disease or condition, in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease or condition. Amounts effective for this use depend on the severity and course of the disease or condition, previous therapy, the patient's health status, weight, and response to the drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician. Therapeutically effective amounts are optionally determined by methods including, but not limited to, a dose escalation clinical trial.
[00424] In prophylactic applications, compositions containing the compounds described herein are administered to a patient susceptible to or otherwise at risk of a particular disease, disorder or condition. Such an amount is defined to be a "prophylactically effective amount or dose." In this use, the precise amounts also depend on the patient's state of health, weight, and the like. When used in a patient, effective amounts for this use will depend on the severity and course of the disease, disorder or condition, previous therapy, the patient's health status and response to the drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician.
[00425] In certain embodiments wherein the patient's condition does not improve, upon the doctor's discretion the administration of the compounds are administered chronically, that is, for an extended period of time, including throughout the duration of the patient's life in order to ameliorate or otherwise control or limit the symptoms of the patient's disease or condition. [00426] In certain embodiments wherein a patient's status does improve, the dose of drug being administered may be temporarily reduced or temporarily suspended for a certain length of time (i.e., a "drug holiday"). In specific embodiments, the length of the drug holiday is between 2 days and 1 year, including by way of example only, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20 days, 28 days, 35 days, 50 days, 70 days, 100 days, 120 days, 150 days, 180 days, 200 days, 250 days, 280 days, 300 days, 320 days, 350 days, and 365 days. The dose reduction during a drug holiday is, by way of example only, by 10%- 100%, including by way of example only 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, and 100%.
[00427] Once improvement of the patient's conditions has occurred, a maintenance dose is administered if necessary. Subsequently, in specific embodiments, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, is reduced, as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved disease, disorder or condition is retained. In certain embodiments, however, the patient requires intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms. [00428] The amount of a given agent that corresponds to such an amount varies depending upon factors such as the particular compound, disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., weight, sex) of the subject or host in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be determined according to the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, e.g., the specific agent being administered, the route of administration, the condition being treated, and the subject or host being treated. In general, however, doses employed for adult human treatment are typically in the range of 0.02mg-5000 mg per day, preferably 1-1500 mg per day. In one embodiment, the desired dose is conveniently presented in a single dose or in divided doses administered simultaneously (or over a short period of time) or at appropriate intervals, for example as two, three, four or more sub-doses per day.
[00429] In some embodiments, compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are administered chronically. In some embodiments, compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are administered intermittently (e.g. drug holiday that includes a period of time in which the compound is not administered or is administered in a reduced amount). In some embodiments, compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are administered in cycles that include: (a) a first period that includes daily administration of the compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V); followed by (b) a second period that includes a dose reduction of the daily amount of the compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) that is administered. In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) is not administered in the second period. In some embodiments, the duration of the first and second periods, as well as the dose amounts are determined using methods described herein or known in the art. By way of example only, a drug holiday or a dose reduction period is appropriate depending on the pharmacodynamic profile of the active agent, e.g., the 'off rate of the active agent is significantly slower than the 'off rate of prostaglandin D2 from the DP2 receptor. [00430] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition described herein is in unit dosage forms suitable for single administration of precise dosages. In unit dosage form, the formulation is divided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of one or more compound. In specific embodiments, the unit dosage is in the form of a package containing discrete quantities of the formulation. Non- limiting examples are packaged tablets or capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. Aqueous suspension compositions are optionally packaged in single-dose non-re-closeable containers. Alternatively, multiple-dose re-closeable containers are used, in which case it is typical to include a preservative in the composition. By way of example only, formulations for parenteral injection are, in some embodiments, presented in unit dosage form, which include, but are not limited to ampoules, or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative.
[00431] In one embodiment, the daily dosages appropriate for the compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) described herein are from about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg per body weight. In specific embodiments, an indicated daily dosage in a large mammal, including, but not limited to, humans, is in the range from about 0.5 mg to about 1000 mg, conveniently administered in divided doses, including, but not limited to, up to four times a day. In one embodiment, the daily dosage is administered in extended release form. In certain embodiments, suitable unit dosage forms for oral administration comprise from about 1 to 500 mg active ingredient. In other embodiments, the daily dosage or the amount of active in the dosage form are lower or higher than the ranges indicated herein, based on a number of variables in regard to an individual treatment regime. In various embodiments, the daily and unit dosages are altered depending on a number of variables including, but not limited to, the activity of the compound used, the disease or condition to be treated, the mode of administration, the requirements of the individual subject, the severity of the disease or condition being treated, and the judgment of the practitioner.
[00432] Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such therapeutic regimens are determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, including, but not limited to, the determination of the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between the toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it is expressed as the ratio between LD50 and ED50. In certain embodiments, the data obtained from cell culture assays and animal studies are used in formulating the therapeutically effective daily dosage range and/or the therapeutically effective unit dosage amount for use in mammals, including humans. In some embodiments, the daily dosage amount of the compounds described herein lies within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with minimal toxicity. In certain embodiments, the daily dosage range and/or the unit dosage amount varies within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized.

[00460] In certain embodiments, different therapeutically-effective dosages of the compounds disclosed herein will be utilized in formulating pharmaceutical composition and/or in treatment regimens when the compounds disclosed herein are administered in combination with one or more additional agent, such as an additional therapeutically effective drug, an adjuvant or the like. Therapeutically-effective dosages of drugs and other agents for use in combination treatment regimens can be determined by means similar to those set forth hereinabove for the actives themselves. Furthermore, the methods of prevention/treatment described herein encompasses the use of metronomic dosing, i.e., providing more frequent, lower doses in order to minimize toxic side effects. In some embodiments, a combination treatment regimen encompasses treatment regimens in which administration of a DP2 antagonist described herein is initiated prior to, during, or after treatment with a second agent described above, and continues until any time during treatment with the second agent or after termination of treatment with the second agent. It also includes treatments in which a DP2 antagonist described herein and the second agent being used in combination are administered simultaneously or at different times and/or at decreasing or increasing intervals during the treatment period. Combination treatment further includes periodic treatments that start and stop at various times to assist with the clinical management of the patient. For example, in one embodiment, a DP2 antagonist described herein in the combination treatment is administered weekly at the onset of treatment, decreasing to biweekly, and decreasing further as appropriate.
[00461] Compositions and methods for combination therapy are provided herein. In accordance with one aspect, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are used to treat PGD2- dependent or PGD2 mediated conditions. In accordance with another aspect, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are used to treat respiratory diseases (e.g., asthma), where treatment with a DP2 antagonist is indicated and to induce bronchodilation in a subject. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are used to treat airways or nasal inflammation diseases such as asthma and rhinitis.
[00462] In one embodiment, pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are used to treat a subject suffering from a vascular inflammation-driven disorder. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are used to treat skin inflammation diseases such as atopic dermatitis.
[00463] In certain embodiments, combination therapies described herein are used as part of a specific treatment regimen intended to provide a beneficial effect from the co-action of a DP2 described herein and a concurrent treatment. It is understood that the dosage regimen to treat, prevent, or ameliorate the condition(s) for which relief is sought, is modified in accordance with a variety of factors. These factors include the type of respiratory disorder and the type of bronchoconstriction or inflammation from which the subject suffers, as well as the age, weight, sex, diet, and medical condition of the subject. Thus, in some instances, the dosage regimen actually employed varies and, in some embodiments, deviates from the dosage regimens set forth herein.
[00464] For combination therapies described herein, dosages of the co-administered compounds vary depending on the type of co-drug employed, on the specific drug employed, on the disease or condition being treated and so forth. In additional embodiments, when co-administered with one or more biologically active agents, the compound provided herein is administered either simultaneously with the biologically active agent(s), or sequentially. If administered sequentially, the attending physician decides on the appropriate sequence of administering protein in combination with the biologically active agent(s).
[00465] In combination therapies, the multiple therapeutic agents (one of which is one of the compounds described herein) are administered in any order or even simultaneously. If administration is simultaneous, the multiple therapeutic agents are, by way of example only, provided in a single, unified form, or in multiple forms (e.g., as a single pill or as two separate pills). In one embodiment, one of the therapeutic agents is given in multiple doses, and in another, two (or more if present) are given as multiple doses. In some embodiments of non- simultaneous administration, the timing between the multiple doses vary from more than zero weeks to less than four weeks. In addition, the combination methods, compositions and formulations are not to be limited to the use of only two agents; the use of multiple therapeutic combinations is also envisioned.
[00466] In additional embodiments, the compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) are used in combination with procedures that provide additional or synergistic benefit to the patient. By way of example only, patients are expected to find therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefit in the methods described herein, wherein pharmaceutical composition of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) and/or combinations with other therapeutics are combined with genetic testing to determine whether that individual is a carrier of a mutant gene that is known to be correlated with certain diseases or conditions.
[00467] The compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) and combination therapies are administered before, during or after the occurrence of a disease or condition, and the timing of administering the composition containing a compound varies. Thus, in one embodiment, the compounds described herein are used as a prophylactic and are administered continuously to subjects with a propensity to develop conditions or diseases in order to prevent the occurrence of the disease or condition. In another embodiment, the compounds and compositions are administered to a subject during or as soon as possible after the onset of the symptoms. The administration of the compounds are initiated within the first 48 hours of the onset of the symptoms, preferably within the first 48 hours of the onset of the symptoms, more preferably within the first 6 hours of the onset of the symptoms, and most preferably within 3 hours of the onset of the symptoms. The initial administration is accomplished via any practical route, such as, for example, by intravenous injection, a bolus injection, infusion over 5 minutes to about 5 hours, a pill, a capsule, transdermal patch, buccal delivery, and the like, or combination thereof. In specific embodiments, a compound described herein is administered as soon as is practicable after the onset of a disease or condition is detected or suspected, and for a length of time necessary for the treatment of the disease, such as, for example, from about 1 month to about 3 months. In some embodiments, the length required for effective treatment varies, and the treatment length is adjusted to suit the specific needs of each subject. For example, in specific embodiments, a compound described herein or a formulation containing the compound is administered for at least 2 weeks, about 1 month to about 5 years, or from about 1 month to about 3 years.
[00468] By way of example, therapies which combine compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) with inhibitors OfPGD2 synthesis or PGD2 receptor antagonists, either acting at the same or other points in the PGD2 synthesis pathway, are encompassed herein for treating PGD2-dependent or PGD2 mediated diseases or conditions. In addition, by way of example, encompassed herein are therapies that combine compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) with inhibitors of inflammation for treating PGD2-dependent or PGD2 mediated diseases or conditions. Anti-Inflammatory Agents
[00469] In another embodiment described herein, methods for treatment of PGD2-dependent or PGD2 mediated conditions or diseases include administration to a patient compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, or medicaments described herein in combination with an antiinflammatory agent including, but not limited to, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids (glucocorticoids). Anti-inflammatory agents include, but are not limited to: arthrotec, mesalamine, auralglan, sulfasalazine, daypro, etodolac, ponstan, and solumedrol; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents; corticosteroids; and leukotriene pathway modulators (e.g. montelukast, zilueton).
[00470] By way of example only, asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by pulmonary eosinophilia and airway hyperresponsiveness. In patients with asthma, PGD2 is released from mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils. PGD2 is involved in contraction of airway smooth muscle, an increase in vascular permeability and mucus secretions, and has been reported to attract and activate inflammatory cells in the airways of asthmatics.

[00779] Mass spectrometric data for compounds described in the Examples are displayed in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3. Example 83: CRTH2 Assays Example 83a: DP2/CRTH2 binding assay
[00780] The ability of a compound to bind to the human DP2 receptor is assessed via a radioligand binding assay using [3H]PGD2. HEK293 cells stably expressing recombinant human DP2 are resuspended in 10 mM Hepes, 7.4 containing 1 mM DTT, lysed and centrifuged at 75,000 xg to pellet the membranes. The membranes are resuspended in 10 mM Hepes, 7.4 containing 1 mM DTT and 10% glycerol to approximately 5 mg protein/ml. Membranes (2-10 μg protein/well) are incubated in 96-well plates with 1 nM [ H]PGD2 and test compound in Assay Buffer (50 mM Hepes, 10 mM MnCl2, 1 mM EDTA, plus or minus 0.2% human serum albumin, pH 7.4) for 60 minutes at room temperature. The reactions are terminated by rapid filtration through Whatman GF/C glass fibre filter plates. The filter plates were pre-soaked in 0.33% polythylenimine for 30 minutes at room temperature then washed in Wash Buffer (50 mM Hepes, 0.5 M NaCl pH 7.4) prior to harvesting. After harvesting, the filter plates are washed 3 times with 1 ml cold Wash Buffer then dried. Scintillant is then added to the plates and the radioactivity retained on the filters is determined on a Packard TopCount (Perkin Elmer). Specific binding is determined as total radioactive binding minus non-specific binding in the presence of 10 μM PGD2. IC50S were determined using GraphPad prism analysis of drug titration curves. Compounds tested had an IC50 of less than 100 micromolar in this assay. Example 83b: GTPγS Binding Assay
[00781] The ability of a compound to inhibit binding of GTP to DP2 is assessed via a membrane GTPγS assay. CHO cells stably expressing the recombinant human CRTH2 receptor are resuspended in 10 mM Hepes, 7.4 containing 1 mM DTT, lysed and centrifuged at 75,000 xg to pellet the membranes. The membranes are resuspended in 10 mM Hepes, 7.4 containing 1 mM DTT and 10% glycerol. Membranes (-12.5 μg per well) are incubated in 96-well plates with 0.05 nM [35S]-GTPγS, 80 nM PGD2, 5 μM GDP, and test compound in Assay Buffer (50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2 and 0.2% human serum albumin) for 60 minutes at 300C. The reactions are terminated by rapid filtration through Whatman GF/B glass fibre filter plates. The filter plates are washed 3 times with 1 ml cold Assay Buffer and dried. Scintillant is then added to the plates and the radioactivity retained on the filters is determined on a Packard TopCount (Perkin Elmer). Specific binding is determined as total radioactive binding minus nonspecific binding in the absence of the ligand (80 nM PGD2). IC50S were determined using Graphpad prism analysis of drug titration curves. Example 83c: Whole Blood Esoinophil Shape Change Assay
[00782] Blood is drawn from consenting human volunteers in EDTA vacutainer tubes and used within 1 hr of draw. A 98 μl aliquot of blood is mixed with 2 μl of test compound (in 50% DMSO) in 1.2 ml polypropylene tubes. The blood is vortexed and incubated at 37°C for 15 minutes. 5 μl of 1 μM PGD2 in PBS is added for a final concentration of 50 nM and the tubes briefly vortexed. The reactions are incubated for exactly 5 minutes at 37°C and then terminated by placing the tubes on ice and immediately adding 250 μl of ice-cold 1 :4 diluted Cytofix (BD Biosciences). The reactions are transferred to 12 x 75 mM polystyrene round bottom tubes and the red blood cells lysed by the addition of 3 ml ammonium chloride lysing solution (150 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM KHCO3, 0.1 mM EDTA disodium salt) and incubation at room temperature for 15 minutes. The cells are pelleted by spinning at 1300 rpm for 5 minutes at 4°C and washed once with 3 ml ice-cold PBS. The cells are resuspended in 0.2 ml of ice-cold 1 :4 diluted Cytofix (BD Biosciences) and analyzed on a FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences) within 2 hours. Eosinophils were gated on the basis of autofluorescence in the FL2 channel and shape change on 500 eosinophils was assayed by forward scatter and side scatter analysis. The specific change in shape induced by PGD2 was calculated as the difference between the percentage of high forward scatter eosinophils in the presence and absence of PGD2. IC50S were determined using Graphpad Prism® analysis of drug titration curves. Example 83d: DPi binding assay
[00783] The ability of a compound to bind to the human DPI receptor was evaluated via a radioligand membrane binding assay using the DPi selective synthetic ligand [ HJBWA868C. Packed human platelets (Biological Specialty Corporation), were resuspended in 6 volumes of Hepes/HBSS buffer (10 mM Hepes, 1 mM DTT in Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS)), lysed and centrifuged at 75,000 xg to pellet the membranes. Membranes were resuspended in Hepes/HBSS buffer to approximately 12 mg protein/ml. Membranes (20 μg protein/well) are incubated in 96-well plates with 2 nM [3H]BWA868C and test compound in Assay Buffer (50 mM Hepes, 10 mM MnCl2, 1 mM EDTA, plus or minus 0.2% human serum albumin, pH 7.4) for 60 minutes at room temperature. The reactions are terminated by rapid filtration through Whatman GF/C glass fibre filter plates. The filter plates were pre-soaked in 0.33% polethylenimine for 30 minutes at room temperature then washed in Wash Buffer (50 mM Hepes, 0.5 M NaCl pH 7.4) prior to harvesting. After harvesting, the filter plates are washed 3 times with 1 ml cold Wash Buffer then dried. Scintillant is then added to the plates and the radioactivity retained on the filters is determined on a Packard TopCount (Perkin Elmer). Specific binding is determined as total radioactive binding minus non-specific binding in the presence of 10 μM BW A868C. IC50S were determined using GraphPad prism analysis of drug titration curves. Example 84: In vivo assays Mouse Allergic Rhinitis Model
[00784] The compounds ability to inhibit allergen-induced sneezing and nasal rubbing is assessed using a mouse model of allergic rhinitis. Methods were adapted from those detailed in Nakaya, M., et al.. 2006. Noninvasive system for evaluating allergen-induced nasal hypersensitivity in murine allergic rhinitis. Laboratory Investigation, 86:917-926. Female BALB/c mice (20-25g) are immunized by an intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) of 2 μg ovalbumin (OVA) complexed with alum in a volume 0.2 ml on days 0 and 14. Seven days later (day 21) mice are challenged intranasally with 20 μl of a 10mg/ml solution of OVA. The challenge period occurs daily from days 21 to day 25. Mice (5-7/group) are randomly assigned to receive either compound or vehicle and are treated by oral gavage 1-2 hour prior to each OVA challenge. The number of sneezes and nasal rubs are counted by an independent blind observe during a period of 8 minutes immediately following OVA challenge on days 21, 23 and 25. A significant increase in allergen-induced sneezing and nasal rubbing occurs over the 5 -day challenge period. Inhibition of this effect by select compounds is determined statistically using Graphpad prism. Example 85: Guinea Pig IV-DKPGD2-induced peripheral blood leukocyte influx [00785] The compounds ability to inhibit leukocyte migration in vivo was assessed using intravenous injection of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin D2 (DK-PGD2). Methods were adapted from those detailed Shichijo et al., 2003, Chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells activation in vivo increases blood leukocyte counts and its blockade abrogates 13, 14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin D2-induced eosinophilia in rats. Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 307:518-525. Male Hartley guinea pigs were immunized with ovalbumin (OVA) on day 0 by intraperitoneal (IP) injection of 1 ml of a 100 μg/ml solution in Imject Alum. They were then used in the DK-PGD2 procedure between days 14 and 21. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either vehicle (0.5% methyl cellulose, 4 ml/kg, oral (PO)) or one of three to four doses of test compound. Two hours or eighteen hours after dosing, animals were anesthetized with ketamine and challenged with DK- PGD2 (1 mg/kg, IV). Thirty minutes after IV administration, blood was collected via the marginal ear vein into EDTA tubes for cell analysis. 10 μl blood was lysed in 190μl water followed by a further 20-fold dilution in PBS. A 10 μl fraction was mixed with equal parts trypan blue and loaded on a hemocytometer. Cells were visualized at a magnification of 4OX using a LabPro light microscope and totals counted and recorded. Cells are expressed as total cells x 108 per ml of blood. Inhibition of this effect by select compounds is determined statistically using Graphpad prism.

Example 86: Clinical Trials in Humans
Study 1: Clinical Trial Evaluating Effect of Compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) on ex vivo PGD∑-induced blood eosinophil shape change
In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study of Compound of Formula (I), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), or Formula (V) in healthy volunteers the inhibition of ex vivo PGD2-induced blood eosinophil shape change is determined to show proof of biochemical mechanism of DP2 receptor antagonism. Eight subjects (6 active, 2 placebo) per dose level are used. Pre dose blood is drawn and challenged with PGD2 to determine baseline shape change as described above in example 83. At varying times after dosing blood is drawn for both pharmacokinetic analyses of drug concentration in blood, and also for PGD2 challenge and eosinophil shape change determination. The extent of receptor blockage is determined from the relationship between drug blood concentration and percentage inhibition of eosinophil shape change.
