Abstract

Provided are alkynyl phenyl derivative compounds, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of treating ophthalmic diseases and disorders, such as age-related macular degeneration and Stargardt's Disease, using said compounds and compositions.

Claims (31)

1. A compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, having a structure of Formula (A):

wherein:

m is 0 or 1;

Z is —X—C(R 21 )(R 22 )—;

X is —S—, —S(═O)—, —S(═O) 2 —, —N(R 31 )—, —C(═N—NR 35 )—, or —C(═N—OR 35 )—;

Y is a bond, —C(R 27 )(R 28 )—, or —C(R 27 )(R 28 )—C(R 29 )(R 30 )—;

R 21 and R 22 are each independently selected from hydrogen, C 1 -C 5 alkyl, or fluoroalkyl;

R 3 and R 4 are hydrogen;

R 5 is alkyl, aryl, or carbocyclyl;

each R 6 is the same or different and independently hydrogen or C 1 -C 5 alkyl;

R 12 and R 13 are hydrogen;

each R 14 is the same or different and independently alkyl, halo, or —OCH 3 ;

each R 27 , R 28 , R 29 and R 30 are the same or different and independently hydrogen, alkyl or —OR 6 ; and

R 31 and R 35 are each independently hydrogen or C 1 -C 5 alkyl.

2. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 5 is alkyl.

3. The compound of claim 2 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein m is 0.

4. The compound of claim 3 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 21 and R 22 are each independently hydrogen or C 1 -C 5 alkyl.

5. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 5 is aryl.

6. The compound of claim 5 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein m is 0.

7. The compound of claim 6 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 21 and R 22 are each independently hydrogen or C 1 -C 5 alkyl.

8. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 5 is carbocyclyl.

9. The compound of claim 8 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein m is 0.

10. The compound of claim 9 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 21 and R 22 are each independently hydrogen or C 1 -C 5 alkyl.

11. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, chosen from:

3-amino-1-(3-(3-hydroxy-3-propylhex-1-ynyl)phenyl)propan-1-one oxime;

4-((3-(2-aminoethylamino)-phenyl)ethynyl)heptan-4-ol;

4-((3-(2-aminoethylthio)phenyl)ethynyl)heptan-4-ol;

4-((3-(2-aminoethylsulfinyl)phenyl)ethynyl)heptan-4-ol; or

4-((3-(2-aminoethylsulfonyl)phenyl)ethynyl)heptan-4-ol.

12. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (A), or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as described in claim 1 , and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

13. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of claim 11 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
