Abstract

A compound having the structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate of said compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, wherein A, A′ and A″ are independently O, C═O, C—R′ or N—R″, where R′ and R″ may independently be H, amino, —NR 7 COR 6 , COR 6 , —CONR 7 R 8 , C 1 -C 6 alkyl, or hydroxy(C 1 -C 6 alkyl), and R″ may be present or absent, and is present where the rules of valency permit, and where not more than one of A, A′ and A″ is O or C═O; R 0 and R are independently H, Br, Cl, F, or C 1 -C 6 alkyl; R 1 is H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, or hydroxy(C 1 -C 6 alkyl); R 2 is selected from the group consisting of H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, hydroxy(C 1 -C 6 alkyl), phenyl(C 1 -C 6 alkyl), formyl, heteroaryl, heterocyclic, —COR 6 , —OCOR 6 , —COOR 6 , —NR 7 COR 6 , —CONR 7 R 8 , and —(CH 2 ) n —W, where W is cyano, hydroxy, C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, —SO 2 NR 7 R 8 , and —SO 2 —R 9 , where R 9 is C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclic; wherein each of said alkyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclic, or heteroaryl may be unsubstituted or substituted by halo, cyano, hydroxy, or C 1 -C 6 alkyl; X is C—R 3 or N, where R 3 may be H or C 1 -C 6 alkyl; R 4 and R 5 are independently H, amino, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, or hydroxy(C 1 -C 6 alkyl); R 6 , R 7 and R 8 are each independently H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy(C 1 -C 6 alkyl), or C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, said C 1 -C 6 alkyl is optionally substituted by halo, CN or hydroxy; or, R 7 and R 8 together with the atom bonded thereto form a 5- or 6-membered ring, said ring being optionally substituted by halo, hydroxy, CN, or C 1 -C 6 alkyl; and, n is 0, 1, 2 or 3. Also provided are methods of treatment as Janus Kinase inhibitors and pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of the invention and combinations thereof with other therapeutic agents.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of treating ulcerative colitis, comprising administering to a subject suffering therefrom a therapeutically effective amount of a compound having the structure (Ic):

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate of said compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, wherein:
R″ is H, —COR 6 , —CONR 7 R 8 , C 1 -C 6 alkyl-, or hydroxy(C 1 -C 6 alkyl)-;
R 2 is selected from the group consisting of H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy-, hydroxy(C 1 -C 6 alkyl)-, phenyl(C 1 -C 6 alkyl-), formyl, heteroaryl, heterocyclic, —COR 6 , —OCOR 6 , —COOR 6 , —NR 7 COR 6 , —CONR 7 R 8 , and —(CH 2 ) n —W, where W is cyano, hydroxy, C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, —SO 2 NR 7 R 8 , and —SO 2 —R 9 , where R 9 is C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclic; wherein each of said alkyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclic, or heteroaryl may be unsubstituted or substituted by halo, cyano, hydroxy, or C 1 -C 6 alkyl;
R 3 is H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, amino, cyano, or C 1 -C 6 alkoxy-;
R 5 is H, amino, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, or hydroxy(C 1 -C 6 alkyl)-;
R 6 , R 7 and R 8 are each are each independently H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy(C 1 -C 6 alkyl)-, or C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl, said C 1 -C 6 alkyl is optionally substituted by halo, CN or hydroxy; or, R 7 and R 8 together with the atom bonded thereto form a 5- or 6-membered ring, said ring being optionally substituted by halo, hydroxy, CN, or C 1 -C 6 alkyl;
and, n is 0, 1, 2 or 3.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein R″ is C 1 -C 6 alkyl and R 5 is H.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 2 is cyano and R 3 is H.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is (1R,3R)-3-(cyanomethyl)-3-(4-(6-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)cyclobutane-1-carbonitrile, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
