Abstract

Described herein are compounds of Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Compounds described herein are useful for inhibiting arginine methyltransferase activity. Methods of using the compounds for treating arginine methyltransferase-mediated disorders are also described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A compound of Formula VI-1:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
Ring A is optionally substituted carbocyclyl or optionally substituted heterocyclyl;
X is N, Z is NR 4 , and Y is CR 5 ;
R x is optionally substituted C 1-4 alkyl;
R 3 is hydrogen or C 1-4 alkyl;
R 4 is hydrogen or optionally substituted C 1-6 alkyl; and
R 5 is hydrogen.

2. The compound of claim 1 , having the structure of Formula XII-b1:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
V 21 , V 22 , V 23 , and V 24 are each C(R C ) 2 ;
each instance of R C is independently hydrogen, halo, —CN, —NO 2 , optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted carbocyclyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, —OR A , —N(R B ) 2 , —SR A , —C(═O)R A , —C(O)OR A , —C(O)SR A , —C(O)N(R B ) 2 , —C(O)N(R B )N(R B ) 2 , —OC(O)R A , —OC(O)N(R B ) 2 , —NR B C(O)R A , —NR B C(O)N(R B ) 2 , —NR B C(O)N(R B )N(R B ) 2 , —NR B C(O)OR A , —SC(O)R A , —C(═NR B )R A , —C(═NNR B )R A , —C(═NOR A )R A , —C(═NR B )N(R B ) 2 , —NR B C(═NR B )R B , —C(═S)R A , —C(═S)N(R B ) 2 , —NR B C(═S)R A , —S(O)R A , —OS(O) 2 R A , —SO 2 R A , —NR B SO 2 R A , or —SO 2 N(R B ) 2 ;
each instance of R A is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted carbocyclyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, an oxygen protecting group when attached to an oxygen atom, and a sulfur protecting group when attached to a sulfur atom;
each instance of R B is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted carbocyclyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, and a nitrogen protecting group; and
each R D is independently optionally substituted alkyl, or two R D groups are joined to form an optionally substituted carbocyclic ring or an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring.

3. The compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of claim 2 , wherein V 21 , V 22 , V 23 , and V 24 are each —CH 2 —.

4. The compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of claim 2 , wherein each R D is independently optionally substituted alkyl.

5. The compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of claim 4 , wherein each R D is independently optionally substituted alkoxyalkyl.

6. The compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of claim 5 , wherein each alkoxyalkyl is independently —CH 2 OR A , —CH 2 CH 2 OR A , or —CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OR A ,
wherein each R A is independently optionally substituted alkyl.

7. The compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of claim 2 , wherein two R D groups are joined to form an optionally substituted carbocyclic ring.

8. The compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of claim 7 , wherein the carbocyclic ring is optionally substituted cyclopentane and optionally substituted cyclohexane.

9. The compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of claim 2 , wherein two R D groups are joined to form an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring.

10. The compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of claim 9 , wherein the heterocyclic ring is optionally substituted furan or optionally substituted pyran.

11. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

12. A kit or packaged pharmaceutical comprising a compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and instructions for use thereof.

13. A method of inhibiting an arginine methyl transferase (RMT) comprising contacting a cell with an effective amount of a compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

14. A method of modulating gene expression or transcription comprising contacting a cell with an effective amount of a compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

15. A method of treating a RMT-mediated disorder, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the RMT-mediated disorder is a PRMT1-mediated disorder, a PRMT6-mediated disorder, a PRMT3-mediated disorder, a PRMT8-mediated disorder, or a CARM1-mediated disorder.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the disorder is a proliferative disorder, a neurological disorder, a muscular dystrophy, an autoimmune disorder, a vascular disorder, or a metabolic disorder.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the disorder is diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, coronary heart disease, oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the disorder is cancer.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the cancer is breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colon cancer, bladder cancer, lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), leukemia, or acute myelocytic leukemia (AML).
