Benefits of technology

[0105]By “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” of an agent, as used herein, is that amount sufficient to effect beneficial or desired results, such as clinical results, and, as such, an effective amount depends upon the context in which it is being applie

Problems solved by technology

While much is known about the mechanisms of action that control apoptosis, control of necrosis is not as well understood.
More recent studies, however, demonstrate that the underlying cell death mechanisms resulting in these two phenotypes are much more complicated and under some circumstances interrelated.

example 1

Preparation of [1,2,3]thiadiazole derivatives of Formula (I-a)

[0177]The [1,2,3]thiadiazole derivatives are prepared according to the method outlined in Scheme 1. Meldrum's acid was treated with acyl chlorides in the presence of pyridine to give β-ketoester (step (a); Oikawa et al., J. Org. Chem. 43: 2087 (1978)). The esters were allowed to react with mono-Boc-hydrazine in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) to give the corresponding imines (step (b); Thomas et al., J. Med. Chem. 28: 442 (1985)). Cyclization in the presence of thionyl chloride yielded the [1,2,3]thiadiazole esters (step (c)). Base hydrolysis of the esters provided acids (step (d)). These materials were coupled with various amines utilizing HBTU (Method A), the corresponding acyl chlorides (Method B) or through the use of EDCI (Method C) to give amides of Formula (I-b).

example 2

Preparation of Compounds (13) and (16)

[0178]

[0179]Compound 13 was prepared according to the procedure outlined in Scheme 2. The ester was reduced with sodium borohydride (step (a)) and the product alcohol was converted to the corresponding aldehyde utilizing Dess-Martin reagent (step (b)). The aldehyde was condensed with 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzylamine in the presence of anhydrous magnesium sulfate to give an imine, which was subsequently reduced with sodium triacetoxyborohydride to give the secondary amine 13 (step (c)). The imide derivative 16 was also prepared starting with a carboxylic acid which was first converted to the corresponding acid chloride (step (d)). This material was then allowed to react with the anion of 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzamide generated with sodium hydride to give imide 16 in 34% yield (step (e)).

example 3

Preparation of α-substituted (±)-2-chloro-6-fluorobenzylamines

[0180]

[0181]The α-substituted (±)-2-chloro-6-fluorobenzylamines were prepared according to Scheme 3 (Polniaszek et al., J. Org. Chem., 55: 215 (1990)). 2-Chloro-6-fluorophenyl ketones were reduced with borane-tetrahydrofuran complex to give the secondary alcohols (step (a)). The alcohols were converted to the corresponding phthalimides via a Mitsonobu reaction (step (b)). The benzylamines were isolated following treatment with hydrazine monohydrate (step (c)). (S)-1-(2-Chloro-6-fluorophenyl)ethylamine was prepared by treating the benzonitrile starting material with methyl magnesium chloride followed by treatment with acetic anhydride to give α-enamide (step (d)). Asymmetric hydrogenation in the presence of the chiral catalyst (S,S)-Me-BPE-Rh gave the corresponding amide (step (e); Burk et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 118: 5142 (1996)). Acid hydrolysis of the amide yielded the optically pure amine (step (f)), isolated as the hyd...

Abstract

The invention features a series of heterocyclic derivatives that inhibit tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) induced necroptosis. The heterocyclic compounds of the invention are described by Formulas (I) and (Ia)-(Ie) and are shown to inhibit TNF-α induced necroptosis in FADD-deficient variant of human Jurkat T cells. The invention further features pharmaceutical compositions featuring the compounds of the invention. The compounds and compositions of the invention may also be used to treat disorders where necroptosis is likely to play a substantial role.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 60 / 955,966, filed Aug. 15, 2007, and 61 / 038,175, filed Mar. 20, 2008, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference.STATEMENT AS TO FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH[0002]The present research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (Grant No. GM-64703 and Grant No. U01 NS050560). The U.S. government has certain rights to this invention.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0003]The invention relates to heterocyclic compounds and to cell death, in particular through necrosis and necroptosis, and regulation thereof by heterocyclic compounds.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]In many diseases, cell death is mediated through apoptotic and / or necrotic pathways. While much is known about the mechanisms of action that control apoptosis, control of necrosis is not as well understood. Understanding the mechanisms regulating both necrosis and apoptosis in cells is essential t...
