Abstract

The present invention provides methods of treating or preventing autoimmune diseases with 2,4-pyrimidinediamine compounds, as well as methods of treating, preventing or ameliorating symptoms associated with such diseases. Specific examples of autoimmune diseases that can be treated or prevented with the compounds include rheumatoid arthritis and/or its associated symptoms, systemic lups erythematosis and/or its associated symptoms and multiple sclerosis and/or its associated symptoms.

each Ra is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, (C1-C6) alkyl, (C3-C8) cycloalkyl, (C4-C11) cycloalkylalkyl, (C5-C10) aryl, (C6-C16) arylalkyl, 2-6 membered heteroalkyl, 3-8 membered cycloheteroalkyl, 4-11 membered cycloheteroalkylalkyl, 5-10 membered heteroaryl and 6-16 membered heteroarylalkyl;
each Rb is a suitable group independently selected from the group consisting of ═O, —ORd, (C1-C3) haloalkyloxy, ═S, —SRd, ═NRd, ═NORd, —NRcRc, halogen, —CF3, —CN, —NC, —OCN, —SCN, —NO, —NO2, ═N2, —N3, —S(O)Rd, —S(O)2Rd, —S(O)2ORd, —S(O)NRcRc, —S(O)2NRcRc, —OS(O)Rd, —OS(O)2Rd, —OS(O)2ORd, —OS(O)2NRcRc, —C(O)Rd, —C(O)ORd, —C(O)NRcRc, —C(NH)NRcRc, —C(NRa)NRcRc, —C(NOH)Ra, —C(NOH)NRcRc, —OC(O)Rd, —OC(O)ORd, —OC(O)NRcRc, —OC(NH)NRcRc, —OC(NRa)NRcRc, —[NHC(O)]n—Rd, —[NRaC(O)]n—Rd, —[NHC(O)]n—ORd, —[NRaC(O)]n—ORd, —[NHC(O)]nNRcRc, —[NRaC(O)]nNRcRc, —[NHC(NH)]nNRcRc and —[NRaC(NRa)]nNRcRc;
each Rc is independently a protecting group selected from the group consisting of formyl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, benzyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl, trimethylsilyl, 2-trimethylsilyl-ethanesulfonyl, trityl and substituted trityl groups, allyloxycarbonyl, 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl, and nitro-veratryloxycarbonyl, or Ra, or, alternatively, each Rc is taken together with the nitrogen atom to which it is bonded to form a 5 to 8-membered cycloheteroalkyl or heteroaryl which may optionally include one or more of the same or different additional heteroatoms and which may optionally be substituted with one or more of the same or different Ra or suitable Rb groups;
each Rd is independently an Ra;
each m is independently an integer from 1 to 3;
each n is independently an integer from 0 to 3;
R35 is hydrogen or R8;
R36 is hydrogen or alkyl;
and
R37 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a progroup selected from the group consisting of aryl, arylalkyl, heteroaryl, Ra, Rb, —CRaRb—O—C(O)R8, —CRaRb—O—PO(OR8)2, —CH2—O—PO(OR8)2, —CH2—PO(OR8)2, —C(O)—CRaRb—N(CH3)2, —CRaRb—O— C(O)—CRaRb—N(CH3)2, —C(O)R8, —C(O)CF3 and —C(O)—NR8—C(O)R8.
