Abstract

CXCR4 antagonists and pharmaceutical formulations thereof are disclosed. The compounds and pharmaceutical formulations disclosed herein can be used to antagonize the CXCR4 pathway for mobilizing stem cells or treating a condition, disorder, or disease associated with the CXCR4 pathway. Exemplary conditions, disorders, and diseases relevant to this disclosure include HIV infections, WHIM syndrome, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, chronic neutropenia, primary immune-deficiency, aplastic anemia, hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), ankylosing spondylitis, autoimmune diseases, and cancers.

Claims (24)

1 . A compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

wherein W is CH 2 or O;

wherein Vis hydrogen, an optionally substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, or an optionally substituted C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl;

wherein:

(1) R 1 is an optionally substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl, an optionally substituted C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, an optionally substituted C 1 -C 4 alkenyl, an optionally substituted C 1 -C 4 haloalkenyl, an optionally substituted carbocyclyl, or an optionally substituted halocarbocyclyl, or

(2) R 1 is an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 alkyl, an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 alkenyl, or an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 haloalkenyl, joining the carbon atom labeled by the “*” sign to form an optionally substituted heterocycle;

wherein the pair of R 8 and R 9 is ═O or ═S;

wherein R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , and R 7 are independently hydrogen, halogen, amino, optionally substituted hydroxyl, optionally substituted alkyl, or optionally substituted haloalkyl;

optionally wherein one or more of the following pairs—R 2 and R 3 , R 4 and R 5 , and R 6 and R 7 —are independently ═O or ═S; and

optionally wherein two of R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , and R 7 joint together to form a bridge on the morpholine ring or a carbocycle or heterocycle that is connected to the morpholine ring in a spiro manner (i.e., the two rings are connected through a single common atom) or in a fused manner (i.e., the two rings share two adjacent atoms; in other words, the two rings share one covalent bond).

2 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein Formula I is in the following configuration.

3 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein Wis CH 2 and Vis hydrogen.

4 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is methyl.

5 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is —R 10 —R 11 ,

wherein R 10 is an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 alkylene (alkyl bridge), an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 haloalkylene (haloalkyl bridge), an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 alkenylene (alkenyl bridge), an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 haloalkenylene (haloalkenyl bridge), an optionally substituted, bridging carbocyclylene (carbocyclyl bridge), or an optionally substituted, bridging halocarbocyclylene (halocarbocyclyl bridge), and

wherein R 11 is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkenyl, haloalkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkynyl, carbocyclyl, alkylcarbocyclyl, haloalkylcarbocyclyl, halocarbocyclyl, heterocyclyl, alkylheterocyclyl, haloalkylheterocyclyl, haloheterocyclyl, —NR a R b , —NR c [C(═O)R d ], or —OR f , wherein R a , R b , R c , R d , and R f are independently hydrogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkenyl, haloalkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkynyl, carbocyclyl, alkylcarbocyclyl, haloalkylcarbocyclyl, halocarbocyclyl, heterocyclyl, alkylheterocyclyl, haloalkylheterocyclyl, haloheterocyclyl, aryl, alkylaryl, haloalkylaryl, haloaryl, heteroaryl, alkylheteroaryl, haloalkylheteroaryl, or haloheteroaryl.

6 . The compound of claim 5 , wherein R 1 is selected from the group consisting of: ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, —(CH 2 ) 2 OH, —(CH 2 ) 2 NH 2 , —(CH 2 ) 3 OH, —(CH 2 ) 3 NH 2 , —(CH 2 ) 4 OH, —(CH 2 ) 4 NH 2 , —(CH 2 ) 3 CF 3 ,

7 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 alkyl, an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 alkenyl, or an optionally substituted, bridging C 1 -C 4 haloalkenyl, joining the carbon atom labeled by the “*” sign to form an optionally substituted heterocycle, wherein the optionally substituted heterocycle is five- or six-membered.

8 . The compound of claim 7 , wherein the optionally substituted heterocycle is a piperidine.

9 . The compound of claim 1 , selected from the group consisting of:

or is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

10 . A pharmaceutical formulation, comprising the compound of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

11 . The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 10 , wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is in the form of tablet, capsule, pill, gel, cream, granule, solution, suspension, emulsion, or nanoparticulate formulation.

12 . The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 10 , wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is an oral formulation.
