Abstract

This application discloses compounds according to generic Formula (I) wherein all variables are defined as described herein, which inhibit BTK. The compounds disclosed herein are useful to modulate the activity of BTK and treat diseases associated with excessive BTK activity. The compounds are further useful to treat inflammatory and auto immune diseases associated with aberrant B-cell proliferation such as rheumatoid arthritis. Also disclosed are compositions containing compounds of Formula (I) and at least one carrier, diluent or excipient.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A compound of Formula 1,

wherein:
A 1 is H or A 1′ ;
A 1″ is lower alkyl or phenyl, optionally substituted with one or more A 1″ ;
each A 1″ is independently halo or lower alkyl;
A 2 is H or A 2′ ;
A 2′ is a monocyclic heteroaryl, optionally mono-substituted with tower alkyl;
X 1 is —NH, C(═O), or absent;
X 2 is —NH, C(═O), or absent;
X 3 is lower alkylene or absent; and
X 4 is —NH or absent;
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
with the proviso that A 2 is A 2′ and X 4 is —NH when X 1 , X 2 and X 3 are absent and A 1 is H.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 1 is —NH.

3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 2 is —C(═O).

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 3 is absent.

5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein A 1 is phenyl, optionally substituted with one or more A 1′ .

6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 4 is absent.

7. The compound of claim 1 , wherein A 2 is H.

8. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 1 is —C(═O).

9. The compound of claim 8 , wherein X 2 is —NH.

10. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 3 is methylene.

11. The compound of claim 1 , wherein A 1 is phenyl, optionally substituted with one or more A 1″ .

12. The compound of claim 1 , wherein X 4 is —NH, A 2 is pyrazolyl, and A 2′ is methyl.

13. The compound of claim 1 , selected from the group consisting of:
4-tert-butyl-N-[3-(7H-purin-6-ylamino)cyclohexyl]benzamide;
N-[(3-chlorophenyl)methyl]-3-(9H-purin-6-ylamino)cyclohexane-1-carboxamide;
6-N-cyclohexyl-2-N-(1-methylpyrazol-4-yl)-9H-purine-2,6-diamine;
6-N-(3-methylcyclohexyl)-2-N-(1-methylpyrazol-4-yl)-9H-purine-2,6-diamine; and
4-tert-butyl-N-[3-[[2-[(1-methylpyrazol-4-yl)amino]-9H-purin-6-yl]amino]cyclohexyl]benzamide.

14. The compound of claim 1 , selected from the group consisting of:
4-tert-Butyl-N-[3-(9H-purin-6-ylamino)-cyclohexyl]-benzamide;
3-(9H-Purin-6-ylamino)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 3-chloro-benzylamide,
N*6*-Cyclohexyl-N*2*-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-9H-purine-2,6-diamine;
N*6*-(3-Methyl-cyclohexyl)-N*2*-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-9H-purine-2,6-diamine; and
4-tert-Butyl-N-{3-[2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-ylamino)-9H-purin-6-ylamino]-cyclohexyl}-benzamide.

15. A method for treating rheumatoid arthritis, comprising the step of administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

16. A method for treating asthma, comprising the step of administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

17. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, admixed with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient or diluent.
