Compounds for nonsense suppression, and methods for their use
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to methods, compounds, and compositions for treating or preventing diseases associated with nonsense mutations in an mRNA by administering the compounds or compositions of the present invention. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods, compounds, and compositions for suppressing premature translation termination associated with a nonsense mutation in an mRNA.
1. A compound of Formula 1:
wherein:
X is a halogen;
R is a C 1 -C 8 alkyl group; a C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl group; an —OR 1 group; or an amino group which is optionally substituted with one or two independently selected R 2 groups;
R 1 is a C 1 -C 8 alkyl group which is optionally substituted with one or more independently selected R a groups; a —R b group; a pyrrolidinyl group which is optionally substituted with one or more independently selected C 1 -C 4 alkyl or oxo groups; a piperidyl group which is optionally substituted with one or more independently selected C 1 -C 4 alkyl groups, benzyl groups, or carboxy groups optionally substituted with one or more C 1 -C 4 alkyl or C 1 -C 4 alkoxy groups; a tetrahydro-furyl group; a tetrahydro-pyranyl group; a tetrahydro-naphthyl group; or an indanyl group;
R 2 is a hydrogen, a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group; a C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl group; a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group; a —R b group; a pyrimidinyl group; a pyridyl group; a sulfonyl group optionally substituted with an —R b group; or two R 2 groups together with the amino to which they are attached form a morpholinyl group, a pyrrolidinyl group, an isoindolinyl group, or a piperazinyl group which is optionally substituted with a phenyl group;
wherein R a is a halogen; a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group; a carbamoyl group which is optionally substituted with one or two independently selected C 1 -C 4 alkyl or C 1 -C 4 alkoxy groups; a phosphinoyl group which is optionally substituted with one or two independently selected C 1 -C 4 alkyl or C 1 -C 4 alkoxy groups; a morpholinyl group; a pyridyl group; or an —R b group; and
wherein R b is a C 6 -C 8 aryl which is optionally substituted with one or more of the following, independently selected: a hydroxy, a halogen, a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group, a C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl group, a C 1 -C 4 alkoxy group, or an amino group which is optionally substituted with one or more independently selected C 1 -C 4 alkyl groups;
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, racemate or stereoisomer thereof.
2. The compound of claim 1 , where R is a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group; a C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl group; an —OR 1 group; or an amino group which is optionally substituted with one or two independently selected R 2 groups.
3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein said compound is selected from the group consisting of:
and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, racemate or stereoisomer thereof.
