BACKGROUND

Sphingosine 1 -phosphate (SIP) is a lysophospho lipid mediator that evokes a variety of cellular processes, including those that result in cell proliferation, cell morphology, tumor-cell invasion, endothelial cell chemotaxis, and angiogenesis. S IP mediates its effects on cellular behavior through the SIP receptors, a family of five cell surface G protein coupled receptors called S lPl, S1P2, S 1P3, S1P4, and S 1P5, which were formerly known as EDG-1 , -3, -5, -6, and -8, respectively. In addition to the S IP receptors, SIP also activates various less well-defined intracellular targets. The EDG receptors are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and on stimulation propagate second messenger signals via activation of heterotrimeric G-protein alpha (G_a) subunits and beta-gamma (Gp_y) dimers.

Ultimately, this S IP-driven signaling results in cell survival, increased cell migration and often, mitogenesis. The recent development of agonists targeting SIP receptors has provided insight regarding the role of this signaling system in physiologic homeostasis.

SIP is synthesized by the action of two enzymes, sphingosine kinase types 1 and 2 (SphKl, SphK2). These enzymes catalyze the transfer of a phosphate residue from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to Ό-erythro sphingosine. SphKl and SphK2 also catalyze the phosphorylation of reduced sphingosine D-erythro sphinganine) and hydro xylated sphinganine (Ό-ribo phytosphingosine) to yield sphinganine 1 - phosphate (dihydroSIP) and phytosphingosine 1-phosphate.

One example of a non-SIP agonist is the phosphorylated form of the immunomodulator, fingolimod (2-amino-2-[2-(4-octylphenyl) ethyl] propane 1 ,3- diol), which is an agonist of four of the five SIP receptors. Enhancing SIP tone at S 1P1 influences lymphocyte trafficking by decreasing lymphocyte egress from secondary lymphoid tissues. Consistent with the role of S 1P1 agonists in preventing lymphocyte egress, antagonists of some S1P1 receptors cause leakage of the lung capillary endothelium, which suggests that SIP may be involved in maintaining the integrity of the endothelial barrier in some tissue beds.

Indeed, infection and tissue injury induce a cascade of biochemical changes that trigger reactions of the immune system, collectively referred to as an inflammatory response. The evolution of this response is based, at least in part, on enhancing vascular permeability and activation of the vascular endothelium, which allows white blood cells to efficiently circulate and migrate to the damaged site, thereby increasing their chances to bind to and destroy any antigens. The vascular endothelium is then thought to be activated or inflamed. Generally, inflammation is a welcomed immune response to a variety of unexpected stimuli, and as such it exhibits rapid onset and short duration (acute inflammation). Its persistent or uncontrolled activity (chronic inflammation) has, however, detrimental effects to the body and results in the pathogenesis of several immune diseases, such as: septic shock, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, acute lung injury, pulmonary fibrosis, and congestive heart failure, for example. Furthermore, chronic inflammation resulting from persistent tissue injury can lead to organ fibrosis, and eventually, organ failure, as is the case in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, end-stage renal failure, and liver cirrhosis, for example.

During vascular injury and in inflammation thrombin is also released from the blood, and it activates thrombin receptors (PA s) expressed on endothelial surface. Thrombin and thrombin receptors regulate various endothelial functions and play a role in the response of endothelial cells to vascular injury, including inducing cytoskeletal changes resulting in cell rounding. Contraction of endothelial cells leads to increased permeability and compromises in the endothelial barrier. In contrast to the edemagenic effects of thrombin, SIP may enhance endothelial cell barrier properties.

SIP has also been shown to have a direct role in modulating several important effects on cells that mediate immune functions. Platelets, monocytes and mast cells secrete SIP upon activation, promoting inflammatory cascades at the site of tissue damage. Activation of SphK is required for the signaling responses since the ability of TNF-a to induce adhesion molecule expression via activation of Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NFKB) is mimicked by S IP and is blocked by DMS. Similarly, SIP mimics the ability of TNF-a to induce the expression of

cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and the synthesis of prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂), and knock-down of SphK by RNA interference blocks these responses to TNF-a. SIP is also a mediator of calcium influx during neutrophil activation by TNF-a and other stimuli, leading to the production of superoxide and other toxic radicals. Therefore, reducing the production of S 1 P within immune cells and their target tissues may be an effective method to treat disorders arising from oxidative stress and abnormal inflammation. Examples of such disorders include inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, atherosclerosis, asthma, allergy, inflammatory kidney disease, circulatory shock, ischemia-reperfusion injury, post-surgical organ failure, organ

transplantation, multiple sclerosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, skin inflammation, periodontal disease, psoriasis and T cell-mediated diseases of immunity.

SIP also has several effects on cells that mediate immune functions. For example, platelets, monocytes, and mast cells secrete SIP upon activation, promoting inflammatory cascades. It is believed that SphK activation is required for the related signaling responses. In addition, deregulation of apoptosis in phagocytes can be an important component of chronic inflammatory diseases. SIP has been found to protect neutrophils and macrophages in response to inflammatory stresses, such as TNF-a. Additional information regarding the role of SIP and SphK in various specific inflammatory and/or autoimmune conditions can be found in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2008/0167352, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein. Accordingly, inhibition of the enzymatic activity of SphK (which can reduce levels of SIP) can prevent the hyperproliferation of immune cells that are important for inflammation.

SIP also has effects on vascular contractility, vascular tone, and blood pressure control. For example, the non-SIP agonist, fingolimod produces modest hypertension in patients (2-3 mmHg in 1-yr trial). In addition, it has been found that exogenous SIP elicits a marked Ca²⁺- and Rho kinase-dependent pulmonary vasoconstriction in hypertensive rat lungs. Furthermore, it has been found that SIP selectively and potently constricts isolated cerebral arteries. Therefore, reducing S IP levels may be an effective method to treat disease or disorders arising from hypertension. Examples of such diseases or disorders include chronic kidney disease, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, and stroke.

Given SIP's involvement in mediating disease pathologies associated with changes in cellular proliferation, morphology, migration, and chemotaxis, sphingosine kinases are good targets for therapeutic applications such as modulating fibrosis, tumor growth inhibition, angiogenesis, endothelial cell chemotaxis, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and disorders. For example, SphKl and SphK2 have roles in affecting cell survival and proliferation. These kinases are also responsible for the equilibrium between the anti-apoptotic SIP and its pro-apoptotic metabolic precursor sphingosine and its precursor, ceramide. Thus, SphKl and SphK2 are important drug targets.

To date, only a small number of compounds including DL-threo- dihydrosphingosine, N,N-dimethylsphingosine, and short-chain DL-erythro- sphingosine analogues, have been shown to inhibit sphingosine kinases. However, with a typical ¾ value in excess of 10 μΜ, these compounds have relatively low potency. These compounds are also neither generally selective for either SphKl or SphK2, nor are they metabolically stable in vivo. Accordingly, these compounds are not ideally suited for addressing questions concerning SphK mediated disease states.

Traditional methods of inhibiting kinases, including sphingosine kinases, have centered on targeting the ATP binding site of the kinase, a strategy that has enjoyed moderate success. However, such methods suffer from lack of selectivity across a wide array of kinases. Additionally, the amino acid sequence of the ATP binding domain of SphKl and SphK2 is conserved across a number of

diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase family members, rendering the traditional strategy problematic because it does not discriminate among kinases. By contrast, the inhibitors in the present invention are competitive with sphingosine, not with ATP, and thus are not expected to inhibit other protein and diacylglycerol kinases.

Currently, there is a need for novel, potent, and selective agents that inhibit the sphingosine substrate-binding domain of the sphingosine kinases (e.g., human SphKl or SphK2, or both) that have enhanced potency, selectivity, and

bioavailability. In addition, there is a need in the art for identification, as well as the synthesis and use, of such compounds. The present invention satisfies these needs.

The following abbreviations are used: sphingosine kinase ("SphK");

sphingosine kinase type 1 ("SphKl"); sphingosine kinase type 2 ("SphK2");

sphingosine ("Sph"); sphingosine 1 -phosphate ("SIP"); sphinganine ("dhSph" or "H2Sph"); sphinganine 1-phosphate ("dhSIP" or "H2S 1P").

The term "affected cell" refers to a cell of a subject afflicted with a disease or disorder, which affected cell has an altered phenotype relative to a subject not afflicted with a disease or disorder.

Cells or tissue are "affected" by a disease or disorder if the cells or tissue have an altered phenotype relative to the same cells or tissue in a subject not afflicted with a disease or disorder.

A disease or disorder is "alleviated" if the severity of a symptom of the disease or disorder, the frequency with which such a symptom is experienced by a patient, or both, is reduced.

The terms "cell," "cell line," and "cell culture" may be used interchangeably. A "control" cell, tissue, sample, or subject is a cell, tissue, sample, or subject of the same type as a test cell, tissue, sample, or subject. The control may, for example, be examined at precisely or nearly the same time the test cell, tissue, sample, or subject is examined. The control may also, for example, be examined at a time distant from the time at which the test cell, tissue, sample, or subject is examined, and the results of the examination of the control may be recorded so that the recorded results may be compared with results obtained by examination of a test cell, tissue, sample, or subject. The control may also be obtained from another source or similar source other than the test group or a test subject, where the test sample is obtained from a subject suspected of having a disease or disorder for which the test is being performed.

A "test" cell, tissue, sample, or subject is one being examined or treated. A "patho indicative" cell, tissue, or sample is one which, when present, is an indication that the animal in which the cell, tissue, or sample is located (or from which the tissue is obtained) is afflicted with a disease or disorder. By way of example, the presence of one or more breast cells in a lung tissue of an animal is an indication that the animal is afflicted with metastatic breast cancer.

A tissue "normally comprises" a cell if one or more of the cell are present in the tissue in an animal not afflicted with a disease or disorder.

The use of the word "detect" and its grammatical variants is meant to refer to measurement of the species without quantification, whereas use of the word

"determine" or "measure" with their grammatical variants are meant to refer to measurement of the species with quantification. The terms "detect" and "identify" are used interchangeably herein.

A "detectable marker" or a "reporter molecule" is an atom or a molecule that permits the specific detection of a compound having the marker in the presence of similar compounds without a marker. Detectable markers or reporter molecules include, e.g., radioactive isotopes, antigenic determinants, enzymes, nucleic acids available for hybridization, chromophores, fluorophores, chemiluminescent molecules, electrochemically detectable molecules, and molecules that provide for altered fluorescence-polarization or altered light-scattering.

The term "disease" or "disorder" or "malcondition" are used interchangeably, and are used to refer to diseases or conditions wherein a sphingosine kinase, such as sphingosine kinase type 1 or sphingosine kinase type 2, plays a role in the biochemical mechanisms involved in the disease or malcondition or symptom(s) thereof such that a therapeutically beneficial effect can be achieved by acting on the sphingosine kinase, e.g. with an effective amount or concentration of a synthetic ligand of formula (IA) or (IB) of the invention. "Acting on" sphingosine kinase, or "modulating" sphingosine kinase, can include binding to sphingosine kinase and/or inhibiting the bioactivity of sphingosine kinase and/or allosterically regulating the bioactivity of sphingosine kinase in vivo. Thus, a "disease" is a state of health of an animal wherein the animal cannot maintain homeostasis, and wherein if the disease is not ameliorated then the animal's health continues to deteriorate.

A "disorder" in an animal is a state of health in which the animal is able to maintain homeostasis, but in which the animal's state of health is less favorable than it would be in the absence of the disorder. Left untreated, a disorder does not necessarily cause a further decrease in the animal's state of health.

An "autoimmune disease" is a disease or disorder arising from and directed against an individual's own tissues. Examples of autoimmune diseases or disorders include, but are not limited to arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis), Caplan's Syndrome, Felty's Syndrome, psoriasis, dermatitis, Sjorgren's Syndrome, Still's Disease,

"Vascular permeability" refers to the capacity of small molecules (e.g., ions, water, nutrients), large molecules (e.g., proteins and nucleic acids) or even whole cells (lymphocytes on their way to the site of inflammation) to pass through a blood vessel wall. Diseases and disorders characterized by undesirable vascular permeability include, for example, edema associated with brain tumors, ascites associated with malignancies, Meigs' syndrome, lung inflammation, nephrotic syndrome, pericardial effusion and pleural effusion.

A "functional" molecule is a molecule in a form in which it exhibits a property by which it is characterized. By way of example, a functional enzyme is one that exhibits the characteristic catalytic activity by which the enzyme is characterized.

The term "inhibit" refers to the ability of a disclosed compound to reduce or impede a described function. Inhibition is by at least 10%, preferably by at least 25%, more preferably by at least 50%, even more preferably by at least 75%, and most preferably, the function is inhibited by at least 95%.

The term "selective" refers to the ability of the disclosed compounds to inhibit one of the sphingosine kinase 1 or sphingosine kinase 2 (SphKl & SphK2) enzymes and not the other enzyme. Preferably, the selective compound will have a Ki value for one enzyme that is less than, by at least an order of magnitude (e.g., a ten-fold difference), the Ki value for the other enzyme or in inhibition of one of the SphK enzymes over the other enzyme.

By "chemically feasible" is meant a bonding arrangement or a compound where the generally understood rules of organic structure are not violated; for example a structure within a definition of a claim that would contain in certain situations, e.g., a pentavalent carbon atom that would not exist in nature would be understood to not be within the claim. The structures disclosed herein, in all of their embodiments are intended to include only "chemically feasible" structures, and any recited structures that are not chemically feasible, for example in a structure shown with variable atoms or groups, are not intended to be disclosed or claimed herein.

When a substituent is specified to be an atom or atoms of specified identity,

"or a bond", a configuration is referred to when the substituent is "a bond" that the groups that are immediately adjacent to the specified substituent are directly connected to each other in a chemically feasible bonding configuration.

All single enantiomer, diastereomeric, and racemic forms of a structure are intended, unless a particular stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated. In several instances though an individual stereoisomer is described among specifically claimed compounds, the stereochemical designation does not imply that alternate isomeric forms are less preferred, undesired, or not claimed. Compounds used in the present invention can include enriched or resolved optical isomers at any or all asymmetric atoms as are apparent from the depictions, at any degree of enrichment. Both racemic and diastereomeric mixtures, as well as the individual optical isomers can be isolated or synthesized so as to be substantially free of their enantiomeric or diastereomeric partners, and these are all within the scope of the invention.

The isomers resulting from the presence of a chiral center comprise a pair of non-superimposable isomers that are called "enantiomers." Single enantiomers of a pure compound are optically active, i.e., they are capable of rotating the plane of plane polarized light. Single enantiomers are designated according to the

Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system. The priority of substituents is ranked based on atomic weights, a higher atomic weight, as determined by the systematic procedure, having a higher priority ranking. Once the priority ranking of the four groups is determined, the molecule is oriented so that the lowest ranking group is pointed away from the viewer. Then, if the descending rank order of the other groups proceeds clockwise, the molecule is designated as having an (R) absolute configuration, and if the descending rank of the other groups proceeds

counterclockwise, the molecule is designated as having an (S) absolute

configuration. In the example in the Scheme below, the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog ranking is A > B > C > D. The lowest ranking atom, D is oriented away from the viewer. The solid wedge indicates that the atom bonded thereby projects toward the viewer out of the plane of the paper, and a dashed wedge indicates that the atom bonded thereby projects away from the viewer out of the plan of the paper, i.e., the plane "of the paper" being defined by atoms A, C, and the chiral carbon atom for the (R) configuration shown below.

(R) configuration (S) configuration

A carbon atom bearing the A-D atoms as shown above is known as a "chiral" carbon atom, and the position of such a carbon atom in a molecule is termed a "chiral center." Compounds of the invention may contain more than one chiral center, and the configuration at each chiral center is described in the same fashion.

There are various conventions for depicting chiral structures using solid and dashed wedges. For example, for the (R) configuration shown above, the following two depictions are equivalent:

The present invention is meant to encompass diastereomers as well as their racemic and resolved, diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure forms and salts thereof. Diastereomeric pairs may be resolved by known separation techniques including normal and reverse phase chromatography, and crystallization. "Isolated optical isomer" or "isolated enantiomer" means a compound which has been substantially purified from the corresponding optical isomer(s) of the same formula. Preferably, the isolated isomer is at least about 80%, more preferably at least 90% enantiomerically pure, even more preferably at least 98%

enantiomerically pure, most preferably at least about 99% enantiomerically pure, by weight. By "enantiomeric purity" is meant the percent of the predominant enantiomer in an enantiomeric mixture of optical isomers of a compound. A pure single enantiomer has an enantiomeric purity of 100%.

Isolated optical isomers may be purified from racemic mixtures by well-known chiral separation techniques. According to one such method, a racemic mixture of a compound of the invention, or a chiral intermediate thereof, is separated into 99% wt.% pure optical isomers by HPLC using a suitable chiral column, such as a member of the series of DAICEL^® CHIRALPAK^® family of columns (Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The column is operated according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Another well-known method of obtaining separate and substantially pure optical isomers is classic resolution, whereby a chiral racemic compound containing an ionized functional group, such as a protonated amine or carboxylate group, forms diastereomeric salts with an oppositely ionized chiral nonracemic additive. The resultant diastereomeric salt forms can then be separated by standard physical means, such as differential solubility, and then the chiral nonracemic additive may be either removed or exchanged with an alternate counter ion by standard chemical means, or alternatively the diastereomeric salt form may retained as a salt to be used as a therapeutic agent or as a precursor to a therapeutic agent.

As used herein, the terms "stable compound" and "stable structure" are meant to indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent. Only stable compounds are contemplated herein.

When a group is recited, wherein the group can be present in more than a single orientation within a structure resulting in more than single molecular structure, e.g., a carboxamide group C(=0)NR, it is understood that the group can be present in any possible orientation, e.g., X-C(=0)N(R)-Y or X-N(R)C(=0)-Y, unless the context clearly limits the orientation of the group within the molecular structure.

When a number of carbon atoms in a group, e.g., an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, etc., is specified as a range, each individual integral number representing the number of carbon atoms is intended. For example, recitation of a (Ci-C4)alkyl group indicates that the alkyl group can be any of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, or tert-butyl. It is understood that a specification of a number of carbon atoms must be an integer.

When a number of atoms in a ring is specified, e.g., a 3- to 9-membered cycloalkyl or heterocyclyl ring, the cycloalkyl or heterocyclyl ring can include any of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 atoms. A cycloalkyl ring is carbocyclic; a heterocyclyl ring can include atoms of any element in addition to carbon capable of forming two or more bonds, e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and the like. The number of atoms in a ring is understood to necessarily be an integer.

Alkyl groups include straight chain and branched carbon-based groups having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, and typically from 1 to 12 carbons or, in some embodiments, from 1 to 8 carbon atoms.

The term "cycloalkenyl" alone or in combination denotes a cyclic alkenyl group, i.e., a cycloalkyl including one or more carbon-carbon double bond.

The terms "carbocyclic," "carbocyclyl," and "carbocycle" denote a ring structure wherein the atoms of the ring are carbon, such as a cycloalkyl group or an aryl group. In some embodiments, the carbocycle has 3 to 8 ring members, whereas in other embodiments the number of ring carbon atoms is 4, 5, 6, or 7. If specified as substituted, a carbocyclic ring can be substituted with as many as N-l substituents wherein N is the size of the carbocyclic ring with, for example, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, amino, aryl, hydroxy, cyano, carboxy, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, nitro, thio, alkoxy, and halogen groups, or other groups as are listed above.

Aryl groups are cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that do not contain

heteroatoms in the ring. An aromatic compound, as is well-known in the art, is a multiply-unsaturated cyclic system that contains 4n+2 π electrons where n is an integer. Thus aryl groups include, but are not limited to, phenyl, azulenyl, heptalenyl, biphenyl, indacenyl, fluorenyl, phenanthrenyl, triphenylenyl, pyrenyl, naphthacenyl, chrysenyl, biphenylenyl, anthracenyl, and naphthyl groups. In some embodiments, aryl groups contain about 6 to about 14 carbons in the ring portions of the groups. Aryl groups unless otherwise specified, are unsubstituted, as defined above. Representative substituted aryl groups can be mono-substituted or substituted more than once, such as, but not limited to, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-substituted phenyl or 2-8 substituted naphthyl groups, which can be substituted with carbon or non-carbon groups such as those listed above.

Heterocyclyl groups or the term "heterocyclyl" includes aromatic and non- aromatic ring compounds containing 3 or more ring members, of which one or more ring atom is a heteroatom such as, but not limited to, N, O, and S. Thus a heterocyclyl can be a cycloheteroalkyl, or a heteroaryl, or if polycyclic, any combination thereof. In some embodiments, heterocyclyl groups include 3 to about 20 ring members, whereas other such groups have 3 to about 15 ring members. A heterocyclyl group designated as a C2-heterocyclyl can be a 5-ring with two carbon atoms and three heteroatoms, a 6-ring with two carbon atoms and four heteroatoms and so forth. Likewise a C/t-heterocyclyl can be a 5-ring with one heteroatom, a 6- ring with two heteroatoms, and so forth. The number of carbon atoms plus the number of heteroatoms sums up to equal the total number of ring atoms. Ring sizes can also be expressed by the total number of atoms in the ring, e.g., a 3- to 10- membered heterocyclyl group, counting both carbon and non-carbon ring atoms. A heterocyclyl ring can also include one or more double bonds. Heterocyclyl groups, unless otherwise specified, are unsubstituted. A heteroaryl ring is an embodiment of a heterocyclyl group. The term "heterocyclyl group" includes fused ring species including those comprising fused aromatic and non-aromatic groups. For example, a dioxolanyl ring and a benzdioxolanyl ring system (methylenedioxyphenyl ring system) are both heterocyclyl groups within the meaning herein. The term also includes polycyclic, e.g., bicyclo- and tricyclo- ring systems containing one or more heteroatom such as, but not limited to, quinuclidyl.

Heteroaryl groups are aromatic ring compounds containing 5 or more ring members, of which, one or more is a heteroatom such as, but not limited to, N, O, and S; for instance, heteroaryl rings can have 5 to about 8-12 ring members. A heteroaryl group is a variety of a heterocyclyl group that possesses an aromatic electronic structure, which is a multiply-unsaturated cyclic system that contains 4n+2 π electrons, wherein n is an integer. A heteroaryl group designated as a C₂- heteroaryl can be a 5-ring (i.e., a 5-membered ring) with two carbon atoms and three heteroatoms, a 6-ring (i.e., a 6-membered ring) with two carbon atoms and four heteroatoms and so forth. Likewise a C/j-heteroaryl can be a 5-ring with one heteroatom, a 6-ring with two heteroatoms, and so forth. The number of carbon atoms plus the number of heteroatoms sums up to equal the total number of ring atoms. Heteroaryl groups include, but are not limited to, groups such as pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, thiophenyl, benzothiophenyl, benzofuranyl, indolyl, azaindolyl, indazolyl, benzimidazolyl, azabenzimidazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzothiadiazolyl, imidazopyridinyl, isoxazolopyridinyl, thianaphthalenyl, purinyl, xanthinyl, adeninyl, guaninyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, quinoxalinyl, and quinazolinyl groups. Heteroaryl groups, unless otherwise specified, are unsubstituted. Representative substituted heteroaryl groups can be substituted one or more times with independently selected groups such as those listed above.

The terms "halo" or "halogen" or "halide" by themselves or as part of another substituent mean, unless otherwise stated, a fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom, preferably, fluorine, chlorine, or bromine.

A "haloalkyl" group includes mono-halo alkyl groups, poly-halo alkyl groups wherein all halo atoms can be the same or different, and per-halo alkyl groups, wherein all hydrogen atoms are replaced by the same or differing halogen atoms, such as fluorine and/or chlorine atoms. Examples of haloalkyl include trifluoromethyl, 1 , 1 -dichloroethyl, 1 ,2-dichloroethyl, l,3-dibromo-3,3- difluoropropyl, perfluorobutyl, and the like.

A "haloalkoxy" group includes mono-halo alkoxy groups, poly-halo alkoxy groups wherein all halo atoms can be the same or different, and per-halo alkoxy groups, wherein all hydrogen atoms are replaced by halogen atoms, such as fluoro. Examples of haloalkoxy include trifluoromethoxy, 1 , 1 -dichloroethoxy, 1,2- dichloroethoxy, l ,3-dibromo-3,3-difluoropropoxy, perfluorobutoxy, and the like.

Standard abbreviations for chemical groups such as are well known in the art are used; e.g., Me = methyl, Et = ethyl, i-Pr = isopropyl, Bu = butyl, t-Bu = tert- butyl, Ph = phenyl, Bn = benzyl, Ac = acetyl, Bz = benzoyl, and the like. A "salt" as is well known in the art includes an organic compound such as a carboxylic acid, a sulfonic acid, or an amine, in ionic form, in combination with a counterion. For example, acids in their anionic form can form salts with cations such as metal cations, for example sodium, potassium, and the like; with ammonium salts such as NH/_t ⁺ or the cations of various amines, including tetraalkyl ammonium salts such as tetramethylammonium, or other cations such as trimethylsulfonium, and the like. A "pharmaceutically acceptable" or "pharmacologically acceptable" salt is a salt formed from an ion that has been approved for human consumption and is generally non-toxic, such as a chloride salt or a sodium salt. A "zwitterion" is an internal salt such as can be formed in a molecule that has at least two ionizable groups, one forming an anion and the other a cation, which serve to balance each other. For example, amino acids such as glycine can exist in a zwitterionic form. A "zwitterion" is a salt within the meaning herein. The compounds of the present invention may take the form of salts. The term "salts" embraces addition salts of free acids or free bases which are compounds of the invention. Salts can be "pharmaceutically-acceptable salts." The term "pharmaceutically-acceptable salt" refers to salts which possess toxicity profiles within a range that affords utility in pharmaceutical applications. Pharmaceutically unacceptable salts may nonetheless possess properties such as high crystallinity, which have utility in the practice of the present invention, such as for example utility in process of synthesis, purification or formulation of compounds of the invention. "Pharmaceutically or

pharmacologically acceptable" include molecular entities and compositions that do not produce an adverse, allergic or other untoward reaction when administered to an animal, or a human, as appropriate. For human administration, preparations should meet sterility, pyrogenicity, and general safety and purity standards as required by FDA Office of Biologies standards.

In addition, where features or aspects of the invention are described in terms of Markush groups, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention is also thereby described in terms of any individual member or subgroup of members of the Markush group. For example, if X is described as selected from the group consisting of bromine, chlorine, and iodine, claims for X being bromine and claims for X being bromine and chlorine are fully described. Moreover, where features or aspects of the invention are described in terms of Markush groups, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention is also thereby described in terms of any combination of individual members or subgroups of members of Markush groups. Thus, for example, if X is described as selected from the group consisting of bromine, chlorine, and iodine, and Y is described as selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, and propyl, claims for X being bromine and Y being methyl are fully described.

If a value of a variable that is necessarily an integer, e.g., the number of carbon atoms in an alkyl group or the number of substituents on a ring, is described as a range, e.g., 0-4, what is meant is that the value can be any integer between 0 and 4 inclusive, i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

invention can have a ¾ for hSPHK2 in the sub-micromolar range, while the ¾ for hSPHKl can be greater than 1 micromolar, or can be greater than 10 micromolar.

Potential uses of the SphK inhibitors of the invention include, but are not limited to, anti-angiogenesis, treating neoplastic disease, treating autoimmune

disorders, treating disease characterized by inflammation, treating diseases

characterized by fibrosis, and treating vascular injury, such as acute lung injury, sepsis, capillary and vascular leak syndromes, pneumonia, ischemia reperfusion

injury, acute kidney injury, as well as enhancing the delivery of therapeutics by

improving the integrity of vascular barriers (e.g., Blood Brain Barrier) in diseases where they are disrupted such as, but not limited to cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

In various embodiments of the invention, the method of treating any of the

foregoing conditions may include administration of an antagonist of any one, or combination thereof, of S 1P1, S1P2, S 1P3, S1P4, and S1P5.

As stated above, the SphK inhibitors of the invention may be used to treat autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, i.e., immunomodulate components of the immune system. As such, in various embodiments of the invention, the SphK inhibitors of the invention may affect the cell signaling events associated with, but not limited to, the following interleukins, cytokines, and immunomodulators: a) members of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family; b) interleukin 2 (IL-2); c) interleukin 4 (IL-4); d) interleukin 5 (IL-5); e) interleukin-6 (IL-6); f) interleukin- 12 (IL-12); g) interleukin 13 (IL-13); h) interleukin-23 (IL-23); i) tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha; and j) interferon gamma. For example, a SphK inhibitor of the invention may be used to treat a disease that is at least in part characterized by the over-expression or undesirable cell-signaling activities mediated by any of the above factors. Thus, in various embodiments, the presently disclosed subject matter provides a method for preventing, treating, managing, and/or ameliorating an autoimmune or inflammatory disorder or one or more symptoms thereof, said method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a prophylactically and/or therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the presently disclosed subject matter and a prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount of one or more

immunomodulatory agents.

The compounds of Formula (IA) or (IB) are also useful for the treatment of diseases or disorders that are associated with excessive vascular permeability. Thus, provided herein is a method of treating or preventing these or any other disease associated with an increase in vascular permeability or edema. For example, inhibiting edema formation should be beneficial to overall patient outcome in situations such as inflammation, allergic diseases, cancer, cerebral stroke, myocardial infarction, pulmonary and cardiac insufficiency, renal failure, and retinopathies, to name a few. Furthermore, as edema is a general consequence of tissue hypoxia, it can also be concluded that inhibition of vascular leakage represents a potential approach to the treatment of tissue hypoxia. For example, interruption of blood flow by pathologic conditions (such as thrombus formation) or medical intervention (such as cardioplegia, organ transplantation, and angioplasty) could be treated both acutely and prophylactically using inhibitors of vascular leakage.

Ischemia/reperfusion injury following stroke and myocardial infarction is also characterized by vascular permeability and edema. A deficit in tissue perfusion leads to persistent post-ischemic vasogenic edema, which develops as a result of increased vascular permeability. Tissue perfusion is a measure of oxygenated blood reaching the given tissue due to the patency of an artery and the flow of blood in an artery. Tissue vascularization may be disrupted due to blockage, or alternatively, it may result from the loss of blood flow resulting from blood vessel leakage or hemorrhage upstream of the affected site. The deficit in tissue perfusion during acute myocardial infarction, cerebral stroke, surgical revascularization procedures, and other conditions in which tissue vascularization has been disrupted, is a crucial factor in outcome of the patient's condition. Edema can cause various types of damage including vessel collapse and impaired electrical function, particularly in the heart. Subsequent reperfusion, however, can also cause similar damage in some patients, leading to a treatment paradox. While it is necessary, to unblock an occluded blood vessel or to repair or replace a damaged blood vessel, the ensuing reperfusion can, in some cases, lead to further damage. Likewise, during bypass surgery, it is necessary to stop the heart from beating and to have the patient hooked to a heart pump. Some patients who undergo bypass surgery, for example, may actually experience a worsening of condition ("post-pump syndrome"), which may be the result of ischemia during cessation of cardiac function during surgery. An arterial blockage may cause a reduction in the flow of blood, but even after the blockage is removed and the artery is opened, if tissue reperfusion fails to occur, further tissue damage may result. For example, disruption of a clot may trigger a chain of events leading to loss of tissue perfusion, rather than a gain of perfusion.

Additional diseases and disorders characterized by undesirable vascular permeability include, for example, infectious and non-infectious diseases that may result in a cytokine storm. A cytokine storm can be precipitated by a number of infectious and non-infectious diseases including, for example, graft versus host disease (GVHD), adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, avian influenza, smallpox, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).

Accordingly, in various embodiments, the invention can provide a method of inhibiting a sphingosine kinase, comprising contacting the sphingosine kinase with an effective amount or concentration of a compound of formula (IA) or (IB) of the invention, or an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition of the invention.

Scheme 8. AUylation of benzimidazole.

General Procedure A. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution

4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (1 equiv) and the alcohol (1 equiv) were added to a microwave vial and cooled in an ice bath, then 0.5M potassium tert- butoxide in tetrahydrofuran (1.1 equiv) was carefully added and allowed to warm to room temperature. The contents were then heated to 115 °C for 1 minute in the microwave. After cooling, celite was added and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The resulting powder was subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel.

General Procedure B. Conversion of nitrile to amidoxime

The nitrile (1 equiv) and hydro xylamine hydrochloride (2.2 equiv) were suspended in absolute ethanol. Triethylamine (2.3 equiv) was added and the contents were heated to 70 °C for 3 hours. Multi-gram scale reactions were heated overnight. Upon cooling, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. To the resulting residue, ethyl acetate and saturated NaHC0₃ solution were added and stirred until all residue was dissolved. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and the aqueous layer was discarded. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over a₂S0₄, filtered, and concentrated to provide the product in sufficiently pure form to be used without further purification. General Procedure C. PyBOP-mediated oxadiazole formation

The carboxylic acid (1.1 equiv) and PyBOP (1.2 equiv) were dissolved in dry N,N- dimethylformamide. N,N-diisopropylethylamine (3 equiv) was added and stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature. The amidoxime (1 equiv) dissolved in minimal Ν,Ν-dimethylformamide was added and the mixture was stirred for 4 hours at room temperature, then heated to 100 °C overnight. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, then poured into a separatory funnel and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organics were washed with saturated NaHC0₃, followed by brine. The bicarbonate wash was back-extracted with ethyl acetate and all organics were combined, dried over Na₂SC>4 and filtered. Celite was added to the flask and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting powder was subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel.

General Procedure D. Guanidine formation

The Boc-protected pyrrolidine (1 equiv) was dissolved in 4M HCl in dioxane and heated to 100 °C in the microwave for 1 minute. The solvent was removed and the crude was reconstituted in dry acetonitrile. tert-butyl (Z)-(((tert- butoxycarbonyl)amino)(lH-pyrazol-l-yl)methylene)carbamate (0.9 equiv) and ,N- diisopropylethylamine (3 equiv) were added and the mixture was heated to 85 °C for 30 minutes in the microwave (or alternatively, room temperature for 72 hours). Upon cooling, celite was added and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting powder was subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel.

General Procedure E. Bis-Boc guanidine deprotection

The bis-Boc guanidine was dissolved in 4M HCl in dioxane and heated to 100 °C in the microwave for 1 minute. The solvent was removed to provide the final product, which was optionally purified by reverse-phase HPLC. General Procedure F. Conversion of carboxylic acid to alcohol

The carboxylic acid (1 equiv) and sodium borohydride (5 equiv) were suspended in dry tetrahydrofuran. The mixture was cooled in an ice bath and a solution of iodine (2 equiv) in THF was added drop wise over 30 minutes.

General procedure A. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution. To a roundbottom, the alkyl alcohol (1 equiv) and potassium teri-butoxide (2.5 equiv) were added and dissolved in THF. The solution was then refluxed for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the solution was cooled to room temperature. Once cool, 4- fluorobenzonitrile was added to the reaction and the solution was refluxed for 18 h. Once completion was observed, the reaction was cooled to rt. The reaction was the partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was

subsequently washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to yield the desired product.

General procedure B. Conversion of nitrile to amidoxime. Triethylamine (3.3 equiv) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (2 equiv) were added to a solution of chosen nitrile intermediate in 95% ethanol (0.2 M solution). The reaction mixture was then refluxed for 2-3 h. The organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel to provide the desired product.

General procedure C. Coupling of amidoxime with amino acids. DIEA (1.8 equiv) was added to a solution of amidoxime (1 equiv) and the appropriate Boc- protected amino acid (1.2 equiv) in DMF (0.2 M solution). HCTU (1.5 equiv) was then added to the resulting mixture at rt and stirred at 80 °C for 18h. At this time, TLC showed complete conversion of starting material. The solution was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was collected and washed twice with a sat. LiBr. The aqueous solution was then back extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were then combined and washed with sat. NaHC0₃ and brine, dried over a₂S04, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel to yield the desired product.

General Procedure D: Deprotection of t-Boc protecting groups using TFA. To a solution of Boc-protected intermediate in CH₂C1₂, a IN TFA solution in CH₂C1₂ was added. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature until complete consumption of the starting material was observed using TLC. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and triturated with diethyl ether to yield the corresponding free amine TFA salt. General Procedure E: Guanidylation of amines using the microwave. DIE A (3 equiv) was added to a solution of the corresponding amine hydrochloric acid salt and the reagent {Z)-tert- vXy\ (((ieri-butoxycarbonyl) imino)(lH-pyrazol-l -yl) methyl) carbamate (1.05 equiv) in a reaction tube with acetonitrile (20% vol/wt). The resulting reaction mixture was then placed in the microwave reactor and stirred for 2 hours at 50 degrees Celsius at 200 W. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure and the resulting colorless residue was purified by flash column chromatography over silica gel to yield the pure product.

General Procedure F: Deprotection of ί-Boc protecting groups using HC1 gas. Hydrochloric acid gas was bubbled through a solution of the N-Boc protected compound in methanol for 2-5 minutes, or until complete consumption of starting material was observed by TLC. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and triturated with diethyl ether to yield the corresponding free amine hydrochloride salt, which was further purified by trituration with diethyl ether until satisfactory analytical data was obtained.

General procedure G. Williamson ether synthesis with alkyl bromides. To a roundbottom, 1 -bromooctane (1.2 equiv), potassium carbonate (4 equiv), and chosen substituted 4-hydroxybenzonitrile were dissolved in ACN. The reaction was then refluxed for 18 h. Once the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was then washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was then purified by silica gel column chromatography to yield the desired product.

General procedure H: Suzuki coupling. Chosen alkene (1.1 equiv) was added to a round bottom flask containing THF. 9-BBN (1.2 equiv) was added as a 0.5 M solution in THF and the solution was stirred overnight at rt. To the above borane solution was added a solution of substituted or non-substituted 4-iodobenzonitrile in DMF. The reaction mixture was degassed for 15 min by bubbling N₂ through the solution. CS2CO3 (2 equiv) and PdCl₂ (dppf) (0.03 equiv) were added together. The resulting reaction mixture was then stirred at 80 °C for 18 h, after which it was poured into a saturated solution of LiBr and extracted three times with hexane. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na₂SC>4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting brown residue was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel to give the desired product.

General Procedures

I. General Procedure for Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution To a solution of (1) in THF was added potassium tertiary butoxide (1M in THF) under cooling. The resultant solution was maintained at 75 °C for 7 - 10 h. Cooled the reaction mixture to rt and partitioned between ethylacetate and water. Extracted the aqueous layer twice with ethylacetate. Combined organic layers were given water, brine washes. Dried over anhydrous Na₂SC>4 and purified on a silica column with hexane and ethyl acetate.

II. General Procedure for Synthesis of Amidoxime

Nitrile intermediate (1 equiv.), hydro xylamine hydrochloride (3 equiv.), TEA (3 equiv.) were added to a round bottom flask containing ethanol. The reaction mixture was heated to 80 °C for 6-12 hours and monitored via TLC. Once the starting material was consumed, the solution was cooled to room temperature, concentrated under reduced pressure, loaded onto celite, and purified on a silica column with hexane and ethyl acetate. III. General Procedure for Synthesis of 1,2,4-Oxadiazole

Amidoxime intermediate (1 equiv.), Boc-L-proline (1.4 equiv.) or Boc-trans-3- hydroxy-L-proline (1.4 equiv.), and DIEA (1.4 equiv.) were added to a round bottom flask containing DMF. HCTU (1.8 equiv.) was added to the reaction mixture and maintained at 110 °C for 12-16 hours. Cooled the reaction mixture to r.t. and partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated LiBr solution. The combined organic layers were washed with sat. NaHC0₃, brine and dried over sodium sulfate.

Combined organic layers were subjected to rotary evaporation and column chromatography to afford the desired Oxadiazole intermediate.

IV. General Procedure for O-Alkylation

(1 equiv.), potassium carbonate (2 equiv.), KI (1.5 equiv.) and alkyl halide (1.2 equiv.) were added to a 8 mL microwave reactor containing acetone. The reaction mixture was heated to 80 °C for 4-12 hours until TLC indicated the starting material had been fully consumed. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and D.I. water. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. After filtration and concentration via reduced pressure, the resulting brown oil was purified on a silica column with hexane and ethyl acetate.

V. General Procedure for Boc-Deprotection

N-Boc Pyrrolidine or ', N" - Di-Boc-guanidine 6a-e was dissolved in methanol. HC1 gas was bubbled into the solution for 1 minute. The solution was stirred until TLC indicated that all of the Boc-protected amine had been consumed. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The resulting white to light yellow solid was washed with diethyl ether to yield pure product as HC1 salt. VI. General Procedure for Guanylation of secondary amines

Pyrrolidine Hydrogen chloride salt (1 equiv.) was added to a 8 mL microwave reaction flash with acetonitrile and DIE A (3 equiv.). The solution was allowed to stir for 10 minutes before the addition of (Z)-Tert-butyl (((tert- butoxycarbonyl)imino)(lH-pyrazol-l-yl)methyl)carbamate (1.05 equiv.). The solution was subjected to microwave irradiation at 55 °C for 2 - 6 h until TLC indicated that the starting material had been consumed. The reaction mixture is subjected to rotary evaporation and performed column chromatography to afford the Ν',Ν'-diboc guanidine intermediate.

VII. General Procedure for Mitsunobu Reaction

To a pre-cooled solution of 23 in dry THF and PPh₃ added DIAD (40% in toluene) and alcohol. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h then refluxed for 2 h.

Quenched reaction mixture with aqueous NaHC0₃, rotary evaporated and partitioned between dichloromethane and DI water. Combined organic layers were subjected to rotatory evaporation and performed column chromatography to afford the desired product.
