Abstract
This disclosure relates to, in part, the treatment of an organic acidemia in a subject in need thereof via administration of a therapeutically effective amount of compounds that inhibit BCAT2. The disclosure also relates to, in part, methods for identifying a candidate compound for treatment of organic acidemias such as maple syrup urinary disease, methylmalonic acidemia, propionic acidemia and isovaleric acidemia.
Claims21
A compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:
- wherein
- Z is CH2, CF2, O, or a bond;
- each of J1, J2, J3, and J4 is independently CH or N;
- X1 is N or CR5A;
- X2 is N or CR5B;
- R1 is —NR3SO2R4, —NR3C(O)R4, or —C(O)(CH2)mNR3R4;
- R2 is —NR6R7, C3-C8 cycloalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, or 5-10 membered heteroaryl, wherein each aryl or heteroaryl is optionally substituted with one, two, or three substituents R2′ independently selected from halo, —CN, —NO2, C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, haloC1-C6 alkyl, haloC1-C6 alkoxy, C2-C6 alkenyl, C2-C6 alkynyl, —C(O)NR6R7, —C(O)R6, —NR6R7, —NR6C(O)R7, —OH, —S-(haloC1-C6 alkyl), C6-C10 aryl, and 5-10 membered heterocyclyl;
- or two R2′ substituents together with the atoms to which they are attached form a five-membered heterocyclyl or C3-C8 cycloalkyl, each optionally substituted with halo;
- R3 is H or methyl;
- R4 is phenyl, thiophene, oxazole, isoxazole, thiazole, furan, pyrrole, or C2-C6 alkenyl, wherein each phenyl, thiophene, oxazole, isoxazole, thiazole, furan, or pyrrole is optionally substituted with one, two, or three substituents R4′ independently selected from halo, —CN, —NO2, C1-C6 alkyl, haloC1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, C2-C6 alkenyl, C3-C8 cycloalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, —(CH2)qNR8C(O)R9, —C(O)NR8R9, —C(O)OR9, —C(O)R9, and 5-10 membered heterocyclyl;
- R5A is F;
- R5B is H, halo, —CN, C1-C6 alkyl, haloC1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, —(CH2), OH, —C(O)NR8R9, —NR8COR9, 5-10 membered heteroaryl, —C(O)R8, or —C(O)OR8;
- or R5A and R5B together with the atoms to which they are attached form a six-membered heterocyclyl ring optionally substituted with oxo;
- R6 and R7 are independently H, C1-C6 alkyl, or C3-C8 cycloalkyl;
- each R8 is independently H, C1-C6 alkyl, or C3-C8 cycloalkyl;
- each R9 is independently H, C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl, or C3-C8 cycloalkyl;
- m is 0;
- q is 0 or 1;
- and
- r is 0 or 1.
