Abstract
The disclosure provides compounds of Formula 1, and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The variables in Formula 1, e.g. X1-X5, A1, A2, and R1-R4 are described herein. Such compounds are useful as prostaglandin transport (PGT) inhibitors. The disclosure further includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula 1 or salt thereof and methods of using compounds of Formula 1 and salts thereof to treat diseases and disorders mediated, at least in part, by prostaglandin levels or cyclooxygenase activity. Such diseases and disorders include painful and inflammatory conditions.
Claims15
A compound of Formula 1:
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
- R1 and R2 are independently chosen from C1-C6alkyl, (C1-C4alkoxy) (C1-C4alkyl), (C3-C7cycloalkyl)C0-C2alkyl, —CO2C1-C6alkyl, and —CO2C0-C2alkyl(C3-C7cycloalkyl), or
- R1 and R2 together may be a 3-6 membered carbocyclic ring or a 4-6-membered heterocycloalkyl ring containing one heteroatom or substituted heteroatom chosen from NH, N—C1-C6alkyl, NCO—C1-C6-alkyl, NCO2—C1-C6-alkyl, NSO2—C1-C6-alkyl, O, S and SO2;
- R3 and R4 are independently chosen from hydrogen, fluoro, and methyl or R3 and R4 can be taken together to form a C3-C5 saturated or partially unsaturated carbocyclic ring or an oxetanyl ring which is optionally 2,2 or 3,3 disubstituted with halogen or C1-C2alkyl;
- A1 is a pyrazinyl or pyrimidinyl heteroarylene group optionally substituted with one or more substituents independently chosen from halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6alkoxy, (C3-C7-cycloalkyl) C0-C2alkyl, C1-C2haloalkyl, and C1-C2haloalkoxy;
- A2 is —CO2H;
- X1, X2, X3, X4, and X5 are aromatic ring atoms chosen from N and C, where up to 3 of X1, X2, X3, X4, and X5 are N ring atoms and each C ring atom is optionally substituted with R6 where each R6 is independently chosen from halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, amino, —CONH2, C1-C6alkyl, C1-C6alkoxy, C1-C2haloalkyl, C1-C2haloalkoxy, mono- or di-(C1-C6alkylamino) C0-C2alkyl, (C3-C7cycloalkyl) C0-C2alkyl, (C3-C7cycloalkyl) C0-C2alkoxy, (C1-C6alkylSO2) C0-C2alkyl, C1-C6alkylNHCO—, and (C1-C6alkyl)2NCO—;
- and
- Q is absent or is —CH2—, or —CH2CH2—.
