Abstract

Described herein are compounds of Formula (I), pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Compounds described herein are useful for inhibiting arginine methyltransferase activity. Methods of using the compounds for treating arginine methyltransferase-mediated disorders are also described.

Claims (29)

1. A compound of Formula (II):

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

wherein

L 1 is a bond;

R 3 is hydrogen, C 1-4 alkyl, or C 3-4 cycloalkyl;

R 4 is hydrogen or optionally substituted C 1-6 alkyl;

R 5 is hydrogen or optionally substituted C 1-4 alkyl;

R x is optionally substituted C 1-4 alkyl or optionally substituted C 3-4 cycloalkyl; and

R W is optionally substituted carbocyclyl or optionally substituted heterocyclyl.

2. The compound or salt of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is C 1-4 alkyl.

3. The compound or salt of claim 2 , wherein R 3 is methyl.

4. The compound or salt of claim 1 , wherein R 4 is hydrogen.

5. The compound or salt of claim 1 , wherein R 5 is hydrogen.

6. The compound or salt of claim 1 , wherein R x is methyl.

7. The compound or salt of claim 1 , wherein R W is substituted cyclohexyl.

8. The compound or salt of claim 1 , wherein R W is optionally substituted heterocyclyl.

9. The compound or salt of claim 8 , wherein the heterocyclyl is monocyclic or bicyclic.

10. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is methyl, R 4 is hydrogen, R 5 is hydrogen, R x is methyl, and R W is substituted cyclohexyl.

11. The compound or salt of claim 1 , selected from the group consisting of:

and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

12. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

13. A method of inhibiting an arginine methyl transferase (RMT) comprising contacting a cell with an effective amount of a compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

14. A method of modulating gene expression or transcription comprising contacting a cell with an effective amount of a compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

15. A method of treating a RMT-mediated disorder, comprising administering to a subject having the RMT-mediated disorder a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the RMT-mediated disorder is a PRMT1-mediated disorder, a PRMT6-mediated disorder, a PRMT3-mediated disorder, a PRMT8-mediated disorder, or a CARM1-mediated disorder.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the disorder is a proliferative disorder, a neurological disorder, a muscular dystrophy, an autoimmune disorder, a vascular disorder, or a metabolic disorder.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the disorder is diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, coronary heart disease, oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the disorder is cancer.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the cancer is breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colon cancer, bladder cancer, lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), leukemia, or acute myelocytic leukemia (AML).
