The present invention relates to compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof, useful as inhibitors of cyclophilins, and for the treatment of cyclophilin-related disorders.
1 . A compound of formula I,
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein:
Ring A is a fused 5-10 membered saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic mono- or bicyclic ring having 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur; which is optionally substituted;
each R 1 is independently —H or C 1-6 aliphatic which is optionally substituted;
R 2 is —H or C 1-6 aliphatic which is optionally substituted;
R 3 is —H, C 1-6 aliphatic, C 3-10 aryl, a 3-8 membered saturated or partially unsaturated carbocyclic ring, a 3-7 membered heterocylic ring having 1-4 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, or a 5-6 membered monocyclic heteroaryl ring having 1-4 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur; each of which is optionally substituted;
or R 2 and R 3 taken together with the nitrogen to which they are attached to form a 3-7 membered heterocylic ring having 0-4 additional heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, which is optionally substituted; and
m is 1 or 2.
