Abstract

A class of polycyclic compounds of general formula (I), of general formula (I′), or of general formula (I″), wherein Base 1 , Base 2 , Y, Y a , X a , X a1 , X b , X b1 , X c , X c1 , X d , X d1 , R 1 , R 1a , R 2 , R 2a , R 3 , R 4 , R 4a , R 5 , R 6 , R 6a , R 7 , R 7a , R 8 , and R 8a are defined herein, that may be useful as inductors of type I interferon production, specifically as STING active agents, are provided. Also provided are processes for the synthesis and use of compounds.

Claims (36)

1. A method of inducing STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the subject.

2. A method of inducing a-STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition to the subject, said pharmaceutical composition comprising:

(a) a compound selected from the group consisting of a compound selected from the group consisting of:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and

(b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

3. A method of inducing STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound to the subject, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of

5. A method of inducing STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound to the subject, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of

7. A method of inducing STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound to the subject, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of

9. A method of inducing STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound to the subject, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of

13. A method of inducing STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound to the subject, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of

15. A method of inducing STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound to the subject, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of

17. A method of inducing STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound to the subject, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

18. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of

19. A method of inducing STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound to the subject, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

20. The method according to claim 19 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of

21. A method of inducing STING-dependent type I interferon production in a subject, said method comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound to the subject, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

22. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of
