Abstract
Fused [1,2]Imidazo[4,5-c] ring compounds (e.g., imidzao[4,5-c]quinolines, 6,7,8,9-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]quinolines, imidazo[4,5-c]naphthyridines, and 6,7,8,9-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-c]naphthyridines) substituted on the fused ring with a group that contains a guanidine or substituted guanidine moiety, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, and methods of making the compounds are disclosed. Methods of use of the compounds as immune response modifiers, for inducing cytokine biosynthesis in animals and in the treatment of diseases including viral and neoplastic diseases are also disclosed.
Claims23
A compound of the Formula (I):
- wherein:
- R2 and R3 are taken together to form a fused benzene ring, a fused pyridine ring, a fused cyclohexene ring, or a fused tetrahydropyridine ring;
- wherein the fused benzene ring, fused pyridine ring, fused cyclohexene ring, or fused tetrahydropyridine ring is either unsubstituted or substituted by one or more R groups;
- R is selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, —C(O)Oalkyl, —C(O)OCH2Ph, —C(O)Oaryl, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, aryl, arylalkylenyl, aryloxyalkylenyl, arylalkyleneoxy, aryloxy, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkylenyl, heteroaryloxyalkyenyl, heteroarylalkyleneoxy, and heteroaryloxy, wherein the alkyl, aryl, arylalkylenyl, aryloxyalkylenyl, arylalkyleneoxy, aryloxy, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkylenyl, heteroaryloxyalkyenyl, heteroarylalkyleneoxy, and heteroaryloxy groups can be unsubstituted or substituted by one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, haloalkyl, hydroxy, hydroxyalkylenyl, alkoxyalkylenyl, arylalkyleneoxy, nitrile, amino, alkylamino, and dialkylamino;
- R1 is —X—N(R4)—C(═N—R5)—N(H)R6;
- X is selected from the group consisting of alkylene, alkenylene, and alkynylene, wherein any of the alkylene, alkenylene, and alkynylene groups can be optionally interrupted by one or more —O— groups;
- R4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, arylalkylenyl, alkoxyalkylenyl, aryloxyalkylenyl, benzyloxyalkylenyl, aryl-(CH2)2-6—O-alkylenyl, and cycloalkylalkylenyl;
- wherein any of the alkyl, arylalkylenyl, alkoxyalkylenyl, aryloxyalkylenyl, benzyloxyalkylenyl, aryl-(CH2)2-6—O-alkylenyl, and cycloalkylalkylenyl groups can be either unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, and nitrile;
- R5 and R6 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, arylalkylenyl, aryloxyalkylenyl, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkylenyl, heteroaryloxyalkylenyl, cycloalkylalkylenyl, aryl-(CH2)2-6—O-alkylenyl, benzyloxyalkylenyl, and —C(O)Oalkyl;
- wherein any of the alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, arylalkylenyl, aryloxyalkylenyl, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkylenyl, heteroaryloxyalkylenyl, cycloalkylalkylenyl, aryl-(CH2)2-6—O-alkylenyl, and benzyloxyalkylenyl groups can be either unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, alkyl, haloalkyl, cycloalkyl, nitrile, aryl, heteroaryl, and dialkylamino;
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
A compound of the Formula VI:
- wherein:
- R1B is —XB—N(R4B)—C(═N—R5B)—N(H)R6B;
- XB is selected from the group consisting of alkylene, alkenylene, and alkynylene, wherein the alkylene, alkenylene, and alkynylene groups can be optionally interrupted by one or more —O— groups;
- R4B is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, arylalkylenyl, alkoxyalkylenyl, aryloxyalkylenyl, benzyloxyalkylenyl, aryl-(CH2)2-6—O-alkylenyl, and cycloalkylalkylenyl;
- wherein any of the alkyl, arylalkylenyl, alkoxyalkylenyl, aryloxyalkylenyl, benzyloxyalkylenyl, aryl-(CH2)2-6—O-alkylenyl, and cycloalkylalkylenyl groups can be either unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, and nitrile;
- R5B and R6B are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, arylalkylenyl, aryloxyalkylenyl, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkylenyl, heteroaryloxyalkylenyl, cycloalkylalkylenyl, aryl-(CH2)2-6—O-alkylenyl, benzyloxyalkylenyl, and —C(O)Oalkyl;
- wherein any of the alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, arylalkylenyl, aryloxyalkylenyl, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkylenyl, heteroaryloxyalkylenyl, cycloalkylalkylenyl,
- aryl-(CH2)2-6—O-alkylenyl, and benzyloxyalkylenyl groups can be either unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, alkyl, haloalkyl, cycloalkyl, nitrile, aryl, heteroaryl, and dialkylamino;
