Abstract
Bifunctional compounds that increase uric acid excretion and reduce uric acid production, and monofunctional compounds that either increase uric acid excretion or reduce uric acid production. Methods of using these compounds for reducing uric acid levels in blood or serum, for treating disorders of uric acid metabolism, and for maintaining normal uric acid levels in blood or serum are also provided. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the bifunctional and monofunctional compounds are also provided.

A compound selected from the group consisting of
- a) compounds having a structure represented by Formula (I):
- wherein
- W is selected from O, S, and NR2, Y is selected from OH and N(R2)2, X is selected from O, S, and NR2;
- T is —CONR2—, —C(NR2)NH—, —C(NOR2)NH—, —C(N-NR2)NH—, —C(SR2)N—, or —NHC(O)—;
- A is phenyl, heteroaryl, C5-C10 branched or unbranched cycloalkyl, C6-C10 bicycloalkyl or C5-C10 spirocycloalkyl;
- each Z is independently present or absent and, if present, is independently selected from one or more halogen atoms, —CN, —CF3, —OR2, —C(O)R2, SR2, —S(O)gR3 where g is 1 or 2, —N(R2)2, —NO2, —CO2R2, —OCO2R3, OC(O)R2, —CON(R2)2, —NR2C(O)R2, —SO2N(R2)2, —NR2SO2R3, —NR2SO2N(R2)2 or —NR2C(O)N(R2)2, —C(O)NHOR2, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl and alkynyl;
- wherein each R2 is independently H, alkyl or aryl;
- wherein each R3 is independently alkyl or aryl, optionally substituted with one or more halogen atoms or OR2;
- and
- wherein a, b, c, d, and e are each independently carbon or nitrogen, or four of a, b, c, d, and e are each independently carbon or nitrogen and one of a, b, c, d, and e is O, with the proviso that at least one of a, b, c, d and e is nitrogen, and Z is not connected directly to nitrogen or oxygen;
- and
- tautomers thereof,
- b) compounds having a structure represented by Formula (III):
- wherein
- W is selected from O, S, and NR2, Y is selected from OH and N(R2)2, X is selected from O, S, and NR2;
- each R2 is independently H, alkyl or aryl;
- and
- f is divalent —CR2—, —C(O)—, —SR2, —S(O)g— where g is 1 or 2, —N(R)2—;
- or —C(—O(CR2)nO—)— where n=2−3;
- and
- tautomers thereof,
- c) compounds having a structure represented by Formula (IV):
- wherein
- W is selected from O, S, and NR2, Y is selected from OH and N(R2)2, X is selected from O, S, and NR2;
- each R2 is independently H, alkyl or aryl;
- and
- f is divalent —CR2—, —C(O)—, —S(O)g— where g is 1−2, —N(R2)2—;
- or —C(—O(CR2)nO—)— where n is 2−3;
- and
- tautomers thereof,
- d) compounds having a structure represented by Formula (V):
- wherein
- W is selected from O, S, and NR2, Y is selected from OH and N(R2)2, X is selected from O, S, and NR2;
- and
- each R2 is independently H, alkyl or aryl;
- and
- tautomers thereof, and
- e) compounds having a structure represented by Formula (VIII):
- wherein
- the structure is selected from the group consisting of
- and
- tautomers thereof.
