Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to compounds of formulas (I)-(VI), which are useful as modulators of USP19. The compounds are further useful in the inhibition of USP19 and the treatment of diseases or disorders associated with the inhibition of USP19. For instance, the disclosure is concerned with compounds and compositions for inhibition of USP19 and methods of treating diseases associated with the inhibition of USP19 (e.g., Parkinson's disease, Ewing sarcoma, and other metabolic diseases including muscle wasting and diabetes).

Claims (48)

1 . A compound of formula (I):

and enantiomers, diastereomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein:

X is N or C;

wherein if X is N, one of R 1 and R 1′ is absent and one of R 2 and R 2′ is absent;

Y is N or CR 7 ;

Z is CH or CH 2 ;

R 1 and R 1′ are each independently selected from H, C 1-4 alkyl, and aryl optionally substituted with one R 8 ;

R 2 and R 2′ are each independently selected from H and C 1-4 alkyl;

wherein one of R 1 or R 1′ may be joined to one of R 2 or R 2′ to form an aryl or heteroaryl ring that includes the atoms to which they are attached and is substituted with one R 9 ;

one of R 1 or R 1′ and one of R 2 or R 2′ may be absent, such that ring A contains an unsaturated bond between X and the carbon to which R 2 and R 2′ are connected;

R 3 is selected from: H, —OR 10 , and halogen;

R 4 is H or C 1-4 alkyl;

R 5 is H or C 1-4 alkyl;

wherein R 4 and R 5 may be joined to one another to form a cycloalkyl that includes the carbon to which they are attached;

R 6 is selected from: alkylcycloalkyl, alkylaryl, and alkylheteroaryl, each of which may optionally be substituted with one C 1-4 alkyl;

R 7 is —C(O)R 11 ;

R 8 is selected from: halogen, C 1-4 alkyl, and C 1-4 alkoxy;

R 9 is selected from: H, halogen, C 1-4 alkyl, C 1-4 alkoxy, —C(O)N(R 12 ) 2 , and heteroaryl;

R 10 is H or C 1-4 alkyl;

R 11 is —N(R 12 ) 2 or a 5 to 6-membered heterocycle containing two heteroatoms selected from N and O;

R 12 is a C 1-4 alkyl group; and

m is 0.

2 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 6 is selected from the group consisting of:

3 . The compound of claim 1 , wherein each R 4 and R 5 are independently selected from C 1-4 alkyl.

4 . The compound of claim 1 , further given by formula (II):

and enantiomers, diastereomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein,

R 13 is selected from: H, halogen, C 1-4 alkyl, C 1-4 alkoxy, —C(O)N(R 19 ) 2 , or a five-membered heteroaryl ring;

R 14 is selected from: H, C 1-4 alkyl, and —C(O)N(R 19 ) 2 ;

wherein one of R 13 and R 14 must be H;

R 15 is H or OH;

R 16 is a C 1-4 alkyl group;

R 17 is a C 1-4 alkyl group;

wherein R 16 and R 17 may be joined to one another to form a cycloalkyl that includes the carbon to which they are attached;

R 18 is selected from: alkylcycloalkyl, alkylphenyl, and alkylheteroaryl, each of which may optionally be substituted with one C 1-4 alkyl; and

R 19 is a C 1-4 alkyl group.

5 . The compound of claim 4 , wherein R 13 is selected from the group consisting of: —Cl, methyl, methoxy, —C(O)N(CH 3 ) 2 , thiazolyl, pyrazolyl, and oxazolyl.

6 . The compound of claim 4 , wherein R 14 is selected from the group consisting of: methyl and —C(O)N(CH 3 ) 2 .

7 . The compound of claim 4 , wherein R 18 is selected from the group consisting of:

8 . The compound of claim 1 , further given by formula (IV):

and enantiomers, diastereomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein:

R 27 is a C 1-4 alkyl group;

R 28 is a C 1-4 alkyl group;

wherein R 27 and R 28 may be joined to one another to form a cycloalkyl that includes the carbon to which they are attached; and

R 29 is an alkylcycloalkyl group substituted with one C 1-4 alkyl group.

9 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of claim 1 and one or more of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle.

10 . A method of treating, preventing, inhibiting, or eliminating a disease or disorder associated with the activity of USP19 in a patient comprising: administering to the patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of claim 1 .

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the disorder is selected from the group consisting of Parkinson's disease, Ewing sarcoma, muscle wasting, and diabetes.

12 . The compound of claim 4 , selected from the group consisting of:
