FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel compounds that are MALT1 (mucosa- associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1) inhibitors. These compounds may be useful for the treatment of a disease, syndrome, condition, or disorder, particularly a MALT 1 -related disease, syndrome, condition, or disorder, including but not limited to, cancer and immunological diseases. The invention also relates to
pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of such compounds, to processes to prepare such compounds and compositions, and to the use of such compounds or pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of cancer and autoimmunological diseases, syndromes, disorders, or conditions associated with MALT1 inhibitors.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENHON MALT1 (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation 1) is a key mediator of the classical NFKB signaling pathway. MALT1 is the only human paracaspase and transduces signals from the B cell receptor (BCR) and T cell receptor (TCR). MALT1 is the active subunit of the CBM complex which is formed upon receptor activation. The CBM complex consists of multiple subunits of three proteins: CARD11 (caspase recruitment domain family member 11), BCL10 (B-cell CLL/Lymphoma 10) and MALT1. MALT1 affects NFKB signaling by two mechanisms: firstly, MALT1 functions as a scaffolding protein and recruits NFKB signaling proteins such as TRAF6, TAB-TAK1 or NEMO-IKKa/b; and secondly, MALT1, as a cysteine protease, cleaves and thereby deactivates negative regulators of NFKB signaling, such as RelB, A20 or CYLD. The ultimate endpoint of MALT1 activity is the nuclear translocation of the NFKB transcription
factor complex and activation of NFKB signaling (Jaworski et al, Cell Mol Life Science 2016. 73, 459-473).
Constitutive activation of NFKB signaling is the hallmark of ABC-DLBCL (Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma of the Activated B Cell-like subtype), the more aggressive form of DLBCL. DLBCL is the most common form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), accounting for approximately 25% of lymphoma cases while ABC-DLBCL comprises approximately 40% of DLBCL. NFKB pathway activation is driven by mutations of signaling components, such as CD79A/B, CARD11, MYD88 or A20, in ABC-DLBCL patients (Staudt, Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol 2010, 2; Lim et al, Immunol Rev 2012, 246, 359-378).
The use of BTK inhibitors, for example Ibrutinib, provides clinical proof-of- concept that inhibiting NFKB signaling in ABC-DLBCL is efficacious. MALT1 is downstream of BTK in the NFKB signaling pathway and a MALT1 inhibitor could target ABC-DLBCL patients not responding to Ibrutinib, mainly patients with CARD 11 mutations, as well as treat patients that acquired resistance to Ibrutinib.
Small molecule tool compound inhibitors of MALT1 protease have demonstrated efficacy in preclinical models of ABC-DLBCL (Fontan et al., Cancer Cell 2012, 22, 812- 824; Nagel et al., Cancer Cell 2012, 22, 825-837). Interestingly, covalent catalytic site and allosteric inhibitors of MALT 1 protease function have been described, suggesting that inhibitors of this protease may be useful as pharmaceutical agents (Demeyer et al., Trends Mol Med 2016, 22, 135-150).
The chromosomal translocation creating the API2-MALT1 fusion oncoprotein is the most common mutation identified in MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma. API2-MALT1 is a potent activator of the NFKB pathway (Rosebeck et al, World J Biol Chem 2016, 7, 128-137). API2-MALT1 mimics ligand-bound TNF receptor, promotes TRAF2-dependent ubiquitination of RIP1 which acts as a scaffold for activating canonical NFKB signaling. Furthermore, API2-MALT1 has been shown to cleave and generate a stable, constitutively active fragment of NFKB-inducing kinase (NIK) thereby
activating the non-canonical NFKB pathway (Rosebeck et al, Science, 2011, 331, 468- 472).
In addition to lymphomas, MALT1 has been shown to play a critical role in innate and adaptive immunity (Jaworski M, etal, Cell Mol Life Sci. 2016). MALT1 protease inhibitor can attenuate disease onset and progression of mouse experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (Me Guire et al, J.
Neuroinflammation 2014, 11, 124). Mice expressing catalytically inactive MALT1 mutant showed loss of marginal zone B cells and Bl B cells and general immune deficiency characterized as decreased T and B cell activation and proliferation. However, those mice also developed spontaneous multi-organ autoimmune inflammation at the age of 9 to 10 weeks. It is still poorly understood why MALT1 protease dead knock-in mice show a break of tolerance while conventional MALT1 KO mice do not. One hypothesis suggests the unbalanced immune homeostasis in MALT1 protease dead knock-in mice may be caused by incomplete deficiency in T and B cell but severe deficiency of
immunoregulatory cells (Jaworski et al., EMBO J. 2014; Gewies et al, Cell Reports 2014; Bornancin et al., J. Immunology 2015; Yu et al., PLOS One 2015). Similarly, MALT deficiency in humans has been associated with combined immunodeficiency disorder (McKinnon et al., J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 2014, 133, 1458-1462; Jabara et al., J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 2013, 132, 151-158; Punwani et al., J. Clin. Immunol. 2015, 35, 135-146). Given the difference between genetic mutation and pharmacological inhibition, a phenotype of MALT1 protease dead knock-in mice might not resemble that of patients treated with MALT1 protease inhibitors. A reduction of immunosuppressive T cells by MALT1 protease inhibition may be beneficial to cancer patients by potentially increasing antitumor immunity.
Thus, MALT1 inhibitors of the present invention may provide a therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from cancer and/or immunological diseases.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
With reference to substituents, the term“independently” refers to the situation where when more than one substituent is possible, the substituents may be the same or different from each other.
The term“alkyl” whether used alone or as part of a substituent group, refers to straight and branched carbon chains having 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Therefore, designated numbers of carbon atoms (e.g., Ci-x) refer independently to the number of carbon atoms in an alkyl moiety or to the alkyl portion of a larger alkyl-containing substituent. In substituent groups with multiple alkyl groups such as, (Ci-6alkyl)2amino-, the Ci-6alkyl groups of the dialkylamino may be the same or different.
The term“alkoxy” refers to an -O-alkyl group, wherein the term“alkyl” is as defined above.
The terms“alkenyl” and“alkynyl” refer to straight and branched carbon chains having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, wherein an alkenyl chain contains at least one double bond and an alkynyl chain contains at least one triple bond.
The term“cycloalkyl” refers to saturated or partially saturated, monocyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbon rings of 3 to 14 carbon atoms. Examples of such rings include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, and adamantyl.
The term“heterocyclyl” refers to a nonaromatic monocyclic or bicyclic ring system having 3 to 10 ring members that include at least 1 carbon atom and from 1 to 4 heteroatoms independently selected from N, O, and S. Included within the term heterocyclyl is a nonaromatic cyclic ring of 5 to 7 members in which 1 to 2 members are N, or a nonaromatic cyclic ring of 5 to 7 members in which 0, 1 or 2 members are N and up to 2 members are O or S and at least one member must be either N, O, or S; wherein, optionally, the ring contains 0 to 1 unsaturated bonds, and, optionally, when the ring is of 6
or 7 members, it contains up to 2 unsaturated bonds. The carbon atom ring members that form a heterocycle ring may be fully saturated or partially saturated. The term
“heterocyclyl” also includes two 5 membered monocyclic heterocycloalkyl groups bridged to form a bicyclic ring. Such groups are not considered to be fully aromatic and are not referred to as heteroaryl groups. When a heterocycle is bicyclic, both rings of the heterocycle are non-aromatic and at least one of the rings contains a heteroatom ring member. Examples of heterocycle groups include, and are not limited to, pyrrolinyl (including 2//-pyrrole, 2-pyrrolinyl or 3 -pyrrolinyl), pyrrolidinyl, imidazolinyl, imidazolidinyl, pyrazolinyl, pyrazolidinyl, piperidinyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, and piperazinyl. Unless otherwise noted, the heterocycle is attached to its pendant group at any heteroatom or carbon atom that results in a stable structure.
The term“aryl” refers to an unsaturated, aromatic monocyclic or bicyclic ring of 6 to 10 carbon members. Examples of aryl rings include phenyl and naphthalenyl.
The term“heteroaryl” refers to an aromatic monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic ring system having 5 to 10 ring members and which contains carbon atoms and from 1 to 4 heteroatoms independently selected from the group consisting of N, O, and S. Included within the term heteroaryl are aromatic rings of 5 or 6 members wherein the ring consists of carbon atoms and has at least one heteroatom member. Suitable heteroatoms include nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. In the case of 5 membered rings, the heteroaryl ring preferably contains one member of nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur and, in addition, up to 3 additional nitrogens. In the case of 6 membered rings, the heteroaryl ring preferably contains from 1 to 3 nitrogen atoms. For the case wherein the 6 membered ring has 3 nitrogens, at most 2 nitrogen atoms are adjacent. Examples of heteroaryl groups include furyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl, oxazolyl, thiazolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, oxazolyl, thiazolyl, oxadiazolyl, triazolyl, thiadiazolyl, pyridinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, benzofuryl, benzothienyl, indazolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzisoxazolyl, benzothiadiazolyl, benzotriazolyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl and quinazolinyl. Unless otherwise noted, the heteroaryl is attached to its pendant group at any heteroatom or carbon atom that results in a stable structure.
The term“halogen” or“halo” refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine atoms.
The term“carboxy” refers to the group -C(=0)OH.
The term“formyl” refers to the group -C(=0)H.
The term“oxo” or“oxido” refers to the group (=0).
Whenever the term“alkyl” or“aryl” or either of their prefix roots appear in a name of a substituent (e.g., arylalkyl, alkylamino) the name is to be interpreted as including those limitations given above for“alkyl” and“aryl.” Designated numbers of carbon atoms (e.g., Ci-Ce) refer independently to the number of carbon atoms in an alkyl moiety, an aryl moiety, or in the alkyl portion of a larger substituent in which alkyl appears as its prefix root. For alkyl and alkoxy substituents, the designated number of carbon atoms includes all of the independent members included within a given range specified. For example Ci-6 alkyl would include methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl and hexyl individually as well as sub-combinations thereof (e.g., C1-2, C1-3, C1-4, C1-5, C2-6, C3-6, C4-6, C5-6, C2-5, etc.).
In general, under standard nomenclature rules used thoughout this disclosure, the terminal portion of the designated side chain is described first followed by the adjacent functionality toward the point of attachment. Thus, for example, a“C1-C6 alkylcarbonyl” substituent refers to a group of the formula:
The label“R” at a stereocenter designates that the stereocenter is purely of the R- configuration as defined in the art; likewise, the label“S” means that the stereocenter is purely of the L-configuration. As used herein, the labels“*R” or“*S” at a stereocenter are used to designate that the stereocenter is of pure but unknown absolute configuration. As used herein, the label“RS” refers to a stereocenter that exists as a mixture of the R- and S- configurations.
A compound containing one stereocenter drawn without a stereo bond designation is a mixture of two enantiomers. A compound containing two stereocenters both drawn
without stereo bond designations is a mixture of four diastereomers. A compound with two stereocenters both labeled“RS” and drawn with stereo bond designations is a mixture of two enantiomers with relative stereochemistry as drawn. A compound with two stereocenters both labeled“*RS” and drawn with stereo bond designations is a mixture of two enantiomers with a single, but unknown, relative stereochemistry.
Unlabeled stereocenters drawn without stereo bond designations are mixtures of the R- and L-configurations. For unlabeled stereocenters drawn with stereo bond designations, the relative and absolute stereochemistry is as depicted.
Unless otherwise noted, it is intended that the definition of any substituent or variable at a particular location in a molecule be independent of its definitions elsewhere in that molecule. It is understood that substituents and substitution patterns on the compounds of the present invention can be selected by one of ordinary skill in the art to provide compounds that are chemically stable and that can be readily synthesized by techniques known in the art as well as those methods set forth herein.
The term“subject” refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human, who has been the object of treatment, observation or experiment.
The term“therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount of an active compound or pharmaceutical agent, including a compound of the present invention, which elicits the biological or medicinal response in a tissue system, animal or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician, including reduction or inhibition of an enzyme or a protein activity, or ameliorating symptioms, alleviating conditions, slowing or delaying disease progression, or preventing a disease.
In one embodiment, the term“therapeutically effective amount” refers to the amount of a compound of the present invention that, when administered to a subject, is effective to (1) at least partially alleviate, inhibit, prevent, and/ or ameliorate a condition, or a disorder or a disease (i) mediated by MALT1; or (ii) associated with MALT1 activity; or (iii) characterized by activity (normal or abnormal) of MALT1; or (2) reduce or inhibit the activity of MALT1 ; or (3) reduce or inhibit the expression of MALT1 ; or (4) modify the protein levels of MALT1.
The term“composition” refers to a product that includes the specified ingredients in therapeutically effective amounts, as well as any product that results, directly, or indirectly, from combinations of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts.

Embodiments of the present invention include prodrugs of compounds of Formula (I). In general, such prodrugs will be functional derivatives of the compounds that are readily convertible in vivo into the required compound. Thus, in the methods of treating or preventing embodiments of the present invention, the term“administering” encompasses the treatment or prevention of the various diseases, conditions, syndromes and disorders described with the compound specifically disclosed or with a compound that may not be specifically disclosed, but which converts to the specified compound in vivo after administration to a patient. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in“Design of Prodrugs”, ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.
Where the compounds according to embodiments of this invention have at least one chiral center, they may accordingly exist as enantiomers. Where the compounds possess two or more chiral centers, they may additionally exist as diastereomers. It is to be understood that all such isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, some of the crystalline forms for the compounds may exist as polymorph and as such are intended to be included in the present invention. In addition, some of the compounds may form solvates with water (i.e., hydrates) or common organic solvents, and such solvates are also intended to be encompassed within the scope
of this invention. The skilled artisan will understand that the term compound as used herein, is meant to include solvated compounds of Formula (I).
A person of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that the compounds described herein may exist as tautomers and that other tautomeric arrangements of the structures depicted herein are possible. It is understood that all tautomeric forms are encompassed by a structure where one possible tautomeric arrangement of the groups of the compound is described, even if not specifically indicated.
Where the processes for the preparation of the compounds according to certain embodiments of the invention give rise to mixture of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as, preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared in racemic form, or individual enantiomers may be prepared either by enantiospecific synthesis or by resolution. The compounds may, for example, be resolved into their component enantiomers by standard techniques such as, the formation of diastereomeric pairs by salt formation with an optically active acid such as,
(-)-di-p-toluoyl-d-tartaric acid and/or (+)-di-p-toluoyl-l-tartaric acid followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base. The compounds may also be resolved by formation of diastereomeric esters or amides, followed by chomatographic separation and removal of the chiral auxiliary. Alternatively, the compounds may be resolved using a chiral HPLC column.
One embodiment of the present invention is directed to a composition, including a pharmaceutical composition, comprising, consisting of, and/or consisting essentially of the (+)-enantiomer of a compound of Formula (I) wherein said composition is substantially free from the (-)-isomer of said compound. In the present context, substantially free means less than about 25 %, preferably less than about 10 %, more preferably less than about 5 %, even more preferably less than about 2 % and even more preferably less than about 1 % of the (-)-isomer calculated as
( mass (+) - enantiomer)
% (+) - enantiomer x 100
(mass (+) - enantiomer) + ( mass(- ) - enantiomer)
Another embodiment of the present invention is a composition, including a pharmaceutical composition, comprising, consisting of, and consisting essentially of the (- )-enantiomer of a compound of Formula (I) wherein said composition is substantially free from the (+)-isomer of said compound. In the present context, substantially free from means less than about 25 %, preferably less than about 10 %, more preferably less than about 5 %, even more preferably less than about 2 % and even more preferably less than about 1 % of the (+)-isomer calculated as
( mass (-) - enantiomer)
% (-) - enantiomer x lOO
(mass (+) - enantiomer) + ( mass(- ) - enantiomer)
It is intended that within the scope of the present invention, any one or more element(s), in particular when mentioned in relation to a compound of Formula (I), shall comprise all isotopes and isotopic mixtures of said element(s), either naturally occurring or synthetically produced, either with natural abundance or in an isotopically enriched form. For example, a reference to hydrogen includes within its scope ' H, 2H (D), and ¾ (T). Similarly, references to carbon and oxygen include within their scope respectively 12C, 13C and 14C and 160 and 180. The isotopes may be radioactive or non
radioactive. Radiolabelled compounds of formula (I) may comprise one or more radioactive isotope(s) selected from the group of 3H, nC, 18F, 122I, 123I, 125I, 131I, 75Br, 76Br, 77Br and 82Br. Preferably, the radioactive isotope is selected from the group of 2H, 3H, nC and 18F.
During any of the processes for preparation of the compounds of the various embodiments of the present invention, it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Second Edition, J.F.W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973; T.W. Greene &
P.G.M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 1991; and T.W. Greene & P.G.M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1999. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known from the art.
Even though the compounds of embodiments of the present invention (including their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and pharmaceutically acceptable solvates) can be administered alone, they will generally be administered in admixture with a
pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical or veterinary practice. Thus, particular embodiments of the present invention are directed to pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I) and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, and/or pharmaceutically acceptable diluent.
By way of example, in the pharmaceutical compositions of embodiments of the present invention, the compounds of Formula (I) may be admixed with any suitable binder(s), lubricant(s), suspending agent(s), coating agent(s), solubilizing agent(s), and combinations thereof.
Solid oral dosage forms such as, tablets or capsules, containing the compounds of the present invention may be administered in at least one dosage form at a time, as appropriate. It is also possible to administer the compounds in sustained release formulations.
Additional oral forms in which the present inventive compounds may be administered include elixirs, solutions, syrups, and suspensions; each optionally containing flavoring agents and coloring agents.
Alternatively, compounds of Formula (I) can be administered by inhalation (intratracheal or intranasal) or in the form of a suppository or pessary, or they may be applied topically in the form of a lotion, solution, cream, ointment or dusting powder. For example, they can be incorporated into a cream comprising, consisting of, and/or
consisting essentially of an aqueous emulsion of polyethylene glycols or liquid paraffin. They can also be incorporated, at a concentration of between about 1 % and about 10 % by weight of the cream, into an ointment comprising, consisting of, and/or consisting essentially of a wax or soft paraffin base together with any stabilizers and preservatives as may be required. An alternative means of administration includes transdermal administration by using a skin or transdermal patch.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention (as well as the compounds of the present invention alone) can also be injected parenterally, for example, intracavernosally, intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, intradermally, or intrathecally. In this case, the compositions will also include at least one of a suitable carrier, a suitable excipient, and a suitable diluent.
For parenteral administration, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are best used in the form of a sterile aqueous solution that may contain other substances, for example, enough salts and monosaccharides to make the solution isotonic with blood.
For buccal or sublingual administration, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered in the form of tablets or lozenges, which can be formulated in a conventional manner.
By way of further example, pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one of the compounds of Formula (I) as the active ingredient can be prepared by mixing the compound(s) with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The carrier, excipient, and diluent may take a wide variety of forms depending upon the desired route of administration (e.g., oral, parenteral, etc.). Thus, for liquid oral preparations such as, suspensions, syrups, elixirs and solutions, suitable carriers, excipients and diluents include water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, stabilizers, coloring agents and the like; for solid oral preparations such as, powders, capsules, and tablets, suitable carriers, excipients and diluents include starches, sugars, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders,

Compounds of Formula (I) may be prepared according to the process outlined in
Scheme 1.
Scheme 1
Amide Coupling
or
1 G, base
A carboxylic acid of formula (1A) may be treated with carbonyldiimidazole followed by addition of a mono-ester of malonic acid of formula (IB), wherein R' is Ci-4alkyl, and a base, such as isopropylmagesium chloride, to yield a ketoester of formula (1C).
Condensation with tri ethyl orthoformate in acetic anhydride or with 1 , 1 -dimethoxy-/V,/V- dimethylmethanamine may yield a 2-ethoxymethylidene-3-oxo ester (or 2- ((dimethylamino)methylidene-3-oxo ester) of formula (ID). A compound of formula (ID) may be reacted with a hydrazine of formula (IE) to provide a pyrazole of formula (IF). Hydrolysis of the ester group may be effected via by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide in the presence of an alcohol co-solvent, to provide the corresponding carboxylic acid intermediate, which, subsequently, may be converted to a compound of Formula (I) upon amide coupling with a compound of formula (1G). The amide coupling may be carried out, for example, in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride in pyridine to afford the corresponding acid chloride, followed by treatment with a compound of formula (1G), in the presence of a base. In one embodiment, the amide coupling reaction is carried out in the presence of a suitable amide coupling reagent such as HATU, in the presence of a base such as, but not limited to, diisopropylethyl amine.
Alternatively, the pyrazole ester of formula (IF) may be directly converted to a compound of Formula (I) via treatment with a compound of formula (1G) and a base, such as potassium /er/-butoxide.
An alternate route to compounds of Formula (I) is illustrated in Scheme 2.
Scheme 2

Aniline (1G) may be coupled with a lithium acetoacetate of formula (2A) in the presence of coupling reagent such as BOP, a base such as DIPEA, and a solvent such as NMP, to provide a compound of formula (2B). A compound of formula (2B) may then be reacted with DMF-DMA (2C) in the presence of an acid, such as TsOH, or reacted with triethoxymethane (2D) in AcOH to afford a compound of formula (2E). A compound of formula (2E) may then be treated with a hydrazine of formula (IE) to afford a compound of Formula (I).

An aryl or heteroaryl amine of formula (3B) may be converted to an aryl or heteroaryl diazonium salt via treatment with sodium nitrite under acidic conditions. This intermediate may be reduced, using a reductant such as tin (II) chloride or ascorbic acid, to form the hydrazine of formula (IE). For aryl or heteroaryl amines of formula (3B) that are not
commercially available, they may be accessed by reduction of the nitroarene or heteronitroarene (3 A) using hydrogen and Pt/C or other conventional nitro-reducing conditions (path one).
Chlorides, bromides, or iodides substituted aryls or heteroaryls may undergo a palladium catalyzed Buchwald Hartwig coupling with benzophenone hydrazine, in the presence of a ligand, such as Xantphos, and a base, such as sodium / /v-butoxide, to form a hydrazine of formula (3D). Acidic hydrolysis may afford the hydrazine of formula (IE) (path two).
Aryl or heteroaryl substituted boronic acids may also serve as a precursor to compounds of formula (IE) by the route shown in path three. A boronic acid of formula (3E) may undergo a Cu2+-catalyzed addition to di- c/7-butylazodicarboxylate to afford an intermediate of formula (3F), which may be deprotected under acidic conditions to yield the compound of formula (IE). Heteroaryl hydrazines of formula (IE), having a nitrogen atom in the ortho- or para- position with respect to the hydrazine functionality, may be prepared via direct displacement of a halogen with hydrazine or hydrazine hydrate (path four). Alternatively, halogenated (hetero)arenes of formula (3H) may undergo palladium- catalyzed cross-coupling with hydrazine to directly furnish intermediate (IE) (path five).
Scheme 4 illustrates multiple pathways available for the synthesis of intermediate (1G, Q2 = CR),
Scheme 4
Compound (4A) may be reacted with a compound of formula RH in the presence of a base, such as CS2CO3, in a solvent, such as DMF, to yield a compound of formula (4B).
Alternatively, a compound of formula (4C) may be treated with a crossing coupling reagent, such as a boron reagent of formula (4D) or a tin reagent of formula RSn(Bu)v in the presence of a palladium catalyst, including but not limited to, Pd(dppf)Ck or
Pd(PPh3)4; in a suitable solvent or solvent system such as DMF, dioxane/water, or the like; to produce a compound of formula (4B). Another suitable pathway includes the reaction of a compound of formula (4C) with a compound of formula RH, in the presence of a coupling reagent such as Cul, with a base such as CS2CO3, and in a solvent such as DMF, to afford a compound of formula (4B). A compound of formula (4B) may be reduced to a compound of formula (1G) using a reducing agent such as Zn or Fe in the presence of NH4CI, in a solvent such as MeOH.
Alternatively, intermediate 1G can be prepared via Curtius rearrangement of suitable aryl acids (Scheme 5) which can be prepared like Scheme 4 (replace NO2 with acid or ester)
Scheme 5
Acid 5A treated with diphenyl phosphoryl azide in the present a base in t-butanol produces the t-butoxy-carbonyl protected amino compound 5B, deprotected 5B under acidic condition such as HC1 or TFA to give intermediate 1G.
Scheme 6
Formula I Formula IA
In the instance when L is H, alkylation of compounds of formula Formula I may occur via formation of a radical from R2-L, generated by treatment with ammonium persulfate and (IR[DF(CF3)PPY]2(DTBPY))PF6, in a mixture of water and CFFCN or DMSO and TFA, under irradiation with blue LED. Compounds of Formula I may also be converted to their corresponding A-oxides via treatment with an oxidizing agent such as m-CPBA in DCM or THF. Said A-oxides of compounds of Formula I may also be converted to their corresponding ortho- chloro derivatives by the action of POCh, optionally in a solvent such as CHCh. Such ortho- chloro derivatives may be reacted with appropriately substituted amines to afford Ci-6alkylamino, Ci-6cycloalkylamino, or A-linked heterocyclic rings of the present invention.

Biological Examples
In vitro assays include assays that determine cell morphology, protein expression, and/or the cytotoxicity, enzyme inhibitory activity, and/or the subsequent functional consequences of treatment of cells with compounds of the invention. Alternate or additional in vitro assays may be used to quantitate the ability of the inhibitor to bind to protein or nucleic acid molecules within the cell.
Inhibitor binding may be measured by radiolabelling the inhibitor prior to binding, isolating the inhibitor/target molecule complex and determining the amount of radiolabel bound. Alternatively or additionally, inhibitor binding may be determined by running a competition experiment where new inhibitors are incubated with purified proteins or nucleic acids bound to known radioligands. Detailed conditions of exemplary systems for assaying a compound of Formula (I) of the present invention as MALT1 inhibitors are set forth in the Biological Examples below.
Such assays are exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The skilled practitioner can appreciate that modifications can be made to conventional assays to develop equivalent or other assays that can be employed to comparably assess activity or otherwise characterize compounds and/or compositions as described herein.
In Vitro Assays
Biological Example 1
MALT1 Biochemical Protease Assay
MALT1 protease activity was assessed in an in vitro assay using a tetrapeptide as substrate and full-length MALT1 protein (Strep-MALTl(l-824)-His) purified from baculovirus-infected insect cells. The tetrapeptide LRSR is coupled to AMC (7-amino-4- methylcoumarin) and provides a quenched, fluorescent substrate for the MALT1 protease (SM Biochemicals). Cleavage of AMC from the Arginine residue results in an increase in coumarin fluorescence measured at 460 nm (excitation 355 nm). The final assay buffer consisted of 10 nM FL MALT1 protein, 200 mM Ac-LRSR-AMC, 50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 0.6 M Citrate, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 0.05% BSA and 1.5% DMSO. Test compounds were spotted at 50 nL in 100% DMSO per well of a black 384-Proxiplate (Perkin Elmer). Test compound concentrations ranged from 30 mM to 0.5 nM using 11 dilution steps (1 :3). Background signal was measured from control wells containing assay buffer without enzyme which functions as low control (LC). High control (HC) values were generated using the reaction with enzyme but no compound treatment. Compounds were pre incubated with MALT1 enzyme for 50 minutes at RT. Substrate was added subsequently and fluorescence was measured in Labsystems fluoroskan at excitation 355 nm and emission 460 nm to determine time 0. The reaction was subsequently incubated for 4 h at RT and fluorescence was measured. For ICso calculations, timepoint 0 was subtracted from the 4 h timepoint to correct for any potential autofluorescence of the compounds. The enzyme reaction was linear during the 4 h incubation period. Characterization of the substrate Ac-LRSR-AMC determined the Michaelis constant KM at 200 mM.
IC50 values were calculated using the following formula (Z prime should be >0.5):
LC = Median of the low control values
= Low control: Reaction without enzyme
HC= Median of the High control values
= High Control: Reaction with enzyme
%Effect = lOO-[(sample-LC) / (HC-LC) x 100]
%Control = (sample /HC) x 100
%Controlmin = (sample-LC) / (HC-LC) x 100
A best-fit curve was fitted by a minimum sum of squares method to the plot of %Controlmin vs. compound concentration. From this an IC50 value (inhibitory concentration causing 50 % inhibition) can be obtained. An estimate of the slope of the plot in terms of the Hill coefficient was also obtained.
IC50 Calculation:
y = LB + _ UB LB _
j + 1 Q(h(pConc-pIC50))
With y = estimated response
UB = upper bound
LB = lower bound
h = hill

PMA Induced IL2 Production In Jurkat Cells
Jurkat cells were maintained in complete RPMI 1640 media containing 10% fetal bovine serum, lOmM HEPES, 100 units/mL of penicillin and 100 pg/mL of streptomycin. Prior to the assay, compounds were made 2- to 4-fold serial dilutions in DMSO. A volume of 10 uL of DMSO-diluted compound in each well were further diluted into 240 uL RPMI1640 complete media. Jurkat cells were harvested by centrifuge at 1200RPM for 5 min, washed one time with RPMI 1640 media, and suspended in fresh complete RPMI 1640 media at concentration of 1.25 x 106 cell/mL. A volume of 160 uL of Jurkat cells (2 x 105 cells) were seeded in each well of 96 well plate-bottom plates. A volume of 20 uL of diluted compound in RMPI 1640 complete media were added to each well and incubated with Jurkat cells for 30 min at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator. A volume 20 uL of diluted PMA / Ionomycin (81 nM / 1.3 uM respectively, ebioscience, catalog number 00-4970-93) in RMPI 1640 complete media were added to each well. After incubation at 37 °C in 5% CO2 incubator for 20 h, supernatants were harvested. IL-2 concentration were assessed by ELISA (IL2 Duoset, R&D Systems, catalog number DY202). Colorimetric intensity at 450 nm was read by Spectramax plate reader and analyzed with Softmax Pro software.
Cell viability was assessed by Cell Titer Glo kit (Promega, catalog number G7571) using Victor Luminescence reader (Victor 3 V 4202938 by Perkin Elmer).
Resultant data are shown in Table 3.

Human IL6/IL10 Mesoscale Assay
NFKB signaling regulates the secretion of multiple cytokines, including IL6 and IL10. Secretion of the cytokines IL6 and IL10 by TMD8 or OCI-LY3 ABC-DLBCL cells was measured using a mesoscale assay. Inhibition of NFKB signaling by MALT1 or BTK inhibitors results in a decrease of IL6/10 secretion.
TMD8 or OCI-LY3 cells were propagated in RPMI-1640 (Sigma Aldrich) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone), 1 mM sodium pyruvate
(Invitrogen), 2 mM L-glutamine (Sigma Aldrich) and 1% PenStrep (Sigma Aldrich). Cell passage number should not exceed 30. Cells should be kept between 0.5 - 2.5 million cells per mL during culturing and cells should be supplemented every 2-3 days with fresh 50 mM beta-mercaptoenthanol. No beta-mercaptoethanol was used during the mesoscale assay.
For the Mesoscale assay, 100,000 TMD8 or OCI-LY3 cells were seeded per well into black-colored 96- well plates with clear bottom (Corning #3904) and test compounds were added in 9 dilution steps (1 :2) ranging from 15 mM to 58.6 nM (final DMSO concentration 0.3%). DMSO control wells were used to determine the maximum signal (High Control (HC)). Treatment with the BTK inhibitor RN486 in a dose range from 30 nM to 131 pM (9 dilutions of 1 :2) served as a positive control for NFKB pathway inhibition and was used to determine the maximum inhibition (Low Control (LC)). Compounds and cells were incubated for 24 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2 (assay volume is 150 pL). After 24 h of incubation 50 pL of the supernatant was transferred to a MSD plate (V-Plex
Proinflammation Panel 1 (human) kit, Mesoscale (MSD)) and incubated for 2 h with vigorous shaking (600 rpm) at room temperature. Following incubation, plates were washed 3x with PBS + 0.05% Tween-20 and 25 pL detection antibody solution (IL6 & IL10 antibodies in diluent 3 (MSD)) was added per well followed by 2 h of incubation with vigorous shaking (600 rpm) at room temperature. After 3x washes with PBS + 0.05% Tween-20, plates were incubated with 150 pL 2x Read Buffer T and read on SECTOR imager. Resultant data are shown in Table 3.

Proliferation Assays
To assess anti-proliferative effects, MALT1 inhibitor test compounds were tested in
4-day proliferation assays using three different DLBCL cell lines. Two ABC-DLBCL cell lines with activating mutations in the classical NFKB pathway were evaluated (OCI-Ly3 (CARD11, MYD88 & A20 mutations), TMD8 (CD79B & MYD88 mutations), which are generally sensitive to NFKB pathway inhibition. A GCB-DLBCL cell line (OCI-Ly7), which has not been shown to have active NFKB signaling, served as a negative control to exclude compounds with general cytotoxic effects.
OCI-Ly3 cells were propagated in RPMI-1640 (Sigma Aldrich) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone), 2 mM L-glutamine (Sigma Aldrich) and 1% PenStrep
(Sigma Aldrich). TMD8 cells were propagated in RPMI-1640 (Sigma Aldrich) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone), 1 mM sodium pyruvate
(Invitrogen), 2 mM L-glutamine (Sigma Aldrich) and 1% PenStrep (Sigma Aldrich). Cells should be kept between 0.5 - 2.5 million cells per mL during culturing and cells should be supplemented every 2-3 days with fresh 50 mM beta-mercaptoenthanol. No beta- mercaptoethanol is used during the proliferation assay. OCI-Ly7 cells were propagated in IMDM (ThermoFisher) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone), 2 mM L- glutamine (Sigma Aldrich) and 50 pg/mL Gentamycin. Cell passage numbers should not exceed 30.
To assess anti-proliferative effects, 400 nL of test compounds were spotted per well of 96-well plates (Costar, catalogue number 3904). 10,000 TMD8, 10,000 OCI-Ly3 or 2,000 OCI-Ly7 cells were seeded in 100 pL media per well and incubated for 4 days at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Cell plating numbers were chosen based on growth curves to ensure linear cell growth. After 4 days of incubation 50 mΐ CellTiterGLO reagent (Promega) were added to each well and luminescence was measured on the Envision after 10 min of incubation at room temperature.
IC50 values were calculated using the following formula (Z prime should be >0.5): LC = median of the low control values
= Low control: Reaction without cells
HC = Median of the High control values
= High control: Reaction with cells without compound
%Effect = 100 - (sample-LC) / (HC-LC) x 100
%Control = (sample /HC) x 100
%Controlmin = (sample-LC) / (HC-LC) x 100
A best-fit curve was fitted by a minimum sum of squares method to the plot of %Control vs. compound concentration. From this an IC50 value (inhibitory concentration causing 50 % cytotoxicity) can be obtained. An estimate of the slope of the plot in terms of the Hill coefficient was also obtained.
Resultant data are shown in Table 4.

Tumor Efficacy Studies
The OCI-Ly3 (DSMZ, catalog number ACC 761) human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma tumor cells may be maintained in vitro in RPMI medium supplemented with heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (10% v/v) and 2mM L-Glutamine 200 mM at 37 °C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. The cells may be routinely subcultured once weekly. The cells growing in an exponential growth phase may be harvested and counted, and cell suspension diluted 1 : 1 in Matrigel™ (Corning Matrigel™ Matrix Basement Membrane Growth Factor Reduced) for tumor cell inoculation.
Male NSG ( NOD. Cg-ZY c”'^ II2rglin 1 Ύ/SzJ ) mice may be subcutaneously inoculated with OCI-Ly3 cells (lOxlO6 cells in 1 : 1 medium :Matrigel™ in a volume of 200 pL) in the inguinal region of each animal. The day of tumor cell inoculation may be denoted as day 0. Tumor measurements may be monitored twice weekly beginning seven days post-implantation, until the mean tumor volume is l69±42 mm3, at which point mice may be randomized by tumor volume into treatment groups. Compound or vehicle may be orally administered according to body weight (5 mL/kg) once or twice daily until study termination. Tumor measurements and body weights may be recorded twice weekly.
The endpoints of the studies are tumor growth inhibition, maximal tumor burden (individual tumor size equaling 10% of body weight), and body weight loss greater than 20% treatment initiation body weight. Percent body weight change may be calculated using the formula: Body weight change = [(C-I)/I]*l00 where C is the current body weight and I is the body weight at the initiation of treatment. Tumor size may be measured twice weekly in two dimensions using a caliper and the volume may be expressed in mm3 using the formula: V=0.5axb2 where and b are the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. Complete tumor regression (CR) is defined as tumors that are reduced to below the limit of palpation (20 mm3). Partial tumor regression (PR) is defined as tumors that are reduced by at least half from initial tumor volume. A minimum duration of CR or PR in three or more successive tumor measurements is required for a CR or PR to be considered durable.
Summary statistics, including mean and the standard error of the mean (SEM), are provided for the tumor volume of difference in tumor volume among each group at each time-point are shown in corresponding study tables. Statistical analysis of difference in tumor volume among the groups may be evaluated using a two-way ANOVA repeated measures test, followed by Tukey post-test, using GraphPad Prism version 6.
