Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to tetrahydropyrazolopyrimidine compounds that act as antagonists or inhibitors for Toll-like receptors 7 and/or 8, and their use in pharmaceutical compositions effective for treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method for treatment of a systematic lupus erythematosus or lupus, comprising administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I)

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a stereoisomer thereof or mixture of stereoisomers thereof, wherein

R 1 is optionally substituted piperidinyl, optionally substituted pyridyl, optionally substituted pyrrolyl, optionally substituted pyrroldinyl, 1,4-dimmethylthiazolyl, 2-ethyl-4-methylthiazolyl, 2-isopropylthiazol-5-yl, thiazolyl, 3-ethylthiazol-5-yl, 1-methylsulfonylpiperidin-4-yl, or
R 1 is —C(O)Z, where Z is piperazinyl, (S)-2-(3-ethylpiperazin-1-yl), optionally substituted pyrrolopyrrolyl, piperidin-3-ylamino, or,
R 1 is

 where R 13 is H, methylpyrazolyl, methylimidazolyl, benzyl, 3-hydroxybutyl, 3-(dimethylamino)-2,2-dimethylpropyl, ethylamide, methylpyridyl, methylsulfonyl, (1-methylimidazol-2-yl)methyl, (1,5-dimethylimidazol-4-yl)methyl, (1-methylpyrrol-2-yl)methyl, or where R 13 is C(O)W, where W is —N(CH 3 ) 2 , piperidinyl, piperazinyl, or morpholinyl, or,
R 1 is

 where R 14 is C(O)CH 3 , H, or (1-methylpyrrol-2-yl)methyl, or,
R 1 is

 or
R 1 is

 where A, B, and D may all be carbon, or where two of A, B, and D are carbon and the other is nitrogen, or where one of A, B, and D is carbon and the remaining two are nitrogen; and when A is nitrogen R 4 is absent, when B is nitrogen R 2 is absent, and when D is nitrogen R 3 is absent; and wherein
R 2 is H, —CH 3 , or F, or, with R 3 and the atoms at positions a and b, forms an optionally substituted pyridine or a pyrazole; and wherein
R 3 is H, F, Cl, —CN, —CH 3 , —OCH 3 , —OH, —NH 2 , methylsulfonyl,

or, with R 4 and the atoms at b and c, forms an optionally substituted benzene, optionally substituted imidazole, optionally substituted pyrazole, optionally substituted pyrazolidine, optionally substituted imidazolidine, optionally substituted isothiazole,

or, with R 2 and the atoms at a and b, forms an optionally substituted pyridine or optionally substituted pyrazole; and wherein
R 4 is F, —CN, —OCH 3 , —OEt, H, Cl, Br, —NH—C(O)—CH—(CH 3 ) 2 , —N(CH 3 ) 2 , —CH 3 , —CH 2 OH,

optionally substituted piperazinyl, 4-hydroxypiperizin-1-yl, optionally substituted piperidinyl not attached to a phenyl group through a nitrogen, or, with R 3 and the atoms at b and c, forms an optionally substituted pyrazole ring or

or, with R 5 and the atoms at c and d, forms an optionally substituted pyrazole ring or an optionally substituted pyrrole ring, or,
R 4 is -(q)-C(O)X, where q is a bond, is —NH—, or is —CH 2 —, and
where X is —NR 11 R 12 ,
where R 11 and R 12 are both H, both —CH 2 CH 3 , or both —CH 3 , or where one of R 11 and R 12 is H and the other is 1,1-dimethylethyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopropyl, lower alkyl, methyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, cyclobutylmethyl; 2,3-dihydroxypropyl, benzyl, azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, methylazetidinyl, —CH 2 —NH—CH 3 , pyrazolyl, piperazinyl, alcohol, —OCH 3 , or

or where X is optionally substituted pyrrolidinyl attached through a nitrogen to the carbonyl group of R 4 , optionally substituted piperidinyl not attached through a nitrogen to the carbonyl group of R 4 , optionally substituted pyrrolidinyl attached through a nitrogen to the carbonyl group of R 4 , optionally substituted piperazinyl attached through a nitrogen to the carbonyl group of R 4 , or optionally substituted morpholinyl attached through a nitrogen to the carbonyl group of R 4 ,
