Abstract

Disclosed herein are Notch transcriptional activation complex kinase (“MACK”) inhibitors, and methods for their use in treating or preventing diseases, such as cancer. The inhibitors described herein include compounds of Formula (Ia) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: wherein the substituents are as described.

First claim

We claim:

1. An oral pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to Formula (Ia):

or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
A is C 1-4 alkyl or

X is CH or N;
Y is CH 2 or N, and when X is N, then Y is CH 2 ;
m is 0 or 1, and when m is 1 then Y is CH 2 ;
n is 0 or 1;
R1 is H, C 1-6 alkyl, C 0-6 alkyleneC(═O)R 6 , halo, cyano, aryloxy, amino, C 0-3 alkylene-amido, carbamyl, S-thiocarbamyl, or ureido;
R 2 is H, halo, C 1-6 alkyl, C 3-8 cycloalkyl, or heteroaryl;
each R 3 and R 4 independently is H, C 1-6 alkyl, or C 1-3 aralkyl, or R 3 and R 4 and the nitrogen to which they are attached join together to form a 3-6 membered ring optionally comprising 1 to 3 additional heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S;
R 5 is H, or R 1 and R 5 together with the atoms to which they are attached form a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring comprising 1 to 3 ring heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S;
R 6 is OH, C 1-6 alkyl, or OC 1-6 alkyl; and
R 7 is H, halo or amino; and
a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

2. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein A is methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, s-butyl, isobutyl, or t-butyl.

3. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein A is

4. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 3 , wherein n is 0.

5. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 3 , where wherein R 1 and R 5 together with the atoms to which they are attached form a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring comprising 1 to 3 ring heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S.

6. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 5 , wherein A is selected from the group consisting of

7. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 3 , wherein R 5 is H.

8. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 7 , wherein R 1 is:
(i) H;
(ii) methyl, ethyl, fluoromethyl, or trifluoromethyl;
(iii)

(iv) F;
(v) CN or —OPh;
(vi) —NH 2 , —N(CH 3 ) 2 or —NH 2 Ph; or
(vii)

9. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein A is selected from the group consisting of CH 3 ,

10. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein R 2 is
(i) H;
(ii) Br or Cl;
(111) CH 3 , CF 3 , CH 2 OH, or CH 2 OCH 3 ;
(iv) cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, or cyclohexyl; or
(v) 3-furanyl.

11. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein each of R 3 and R 4 independently is H, C 1-6 alkyl, or C 1-3 aralkyl.

12. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein

is selected from the group consisting of
(i)

or
(ii)

13. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein R 7 is:
(i) H; or
(ii) NH 2 , Br, Cl, or F.

14. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is either a solid or liquid.

15. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 14 , wherein the oral pharmaceutical composition is a solid selected from the group consisting of a capsule, tablet, powder, and granules.

16. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 15 , further comprising an excipient, filler, binder, humectant, disintegrating agent, solution retarder, absorption accelerator, wetting agent, adsorbent, buffering agent, enteric coating, opacifying agent, sweetening, or flavoring.

17. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 14 , wherein the oral pharmaceutical composition is a liquid selected from the group consisting of an emulsion, solution, suspension, syrup, and elixir.

18. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 17 , further comprising a solvent, solubilizing agent, emulsifier, wetting agent, suspending agent, sweetening, or flavoring.

19. The oral pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein m is 1.
