Claims (37)

1. A compound, having a formula 1

or a salt thereof, wherein:

at least one of R 1 and R 2 is a nitrogen-containing heteroaryl, and the remaining R 1 or R 2 is H, alkyl, haloalkyl, nitro, cyano, amide, amino, hydroxyl, carboxyl, carboxyl ester, or acyl;

R 3 is H, aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, heterocyclyl, amide, aromatic, or araliphatic;

R 4 is H, aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, or one of R 1 or R 2 together with R 4 , and together with the atoms to which they are attached, form a heterocyclic ring;

R 5 is H or alkyl; and

ring A is a heterocyclic ring.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound has a structure according to Formula 2

or a salt thereof.

3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein one of R 1 and R 2 is pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl or pyrazinyl, and the other of R 1 and R 2 is H.

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound has a structure according to Formula 5

or a salt thereof, wherein:

each of Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 and Z 4 independently is N or CR 10 where at least one of Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 and Z 4 is N; and

each R 10 independently is H, halogen, or aliphatic.

5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein ring A is pyrazolyl.

6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroaliphatic, or heterocycloaliphatic.

7. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is R a , R b , R a substituted with 1, 2, or 3 R b , R a substituted with R b and R c , R a substituted with R c , —(CR a R a ) n -R a , -(CH 2 ) n -R a , -(CR a R a ) n -R b , -(CH 2 ) n -R b , -[(CH 2 ) m -O-] n -R a , -[(CH 2 ) m -O-] n -[R a , substituted with 1, 2 or 3 R a , or - (CH 2 ) m -O-(CH 2 ) m -O-R a wherein each m and n independently are 1, 2 or 3;

R a is independently for each occurrence H, D, C 1-6 alkyl, C 1-6 haloalkyl C 3-6 cycloalkyl, C 3-6 heteroalicyclyl,

where Y and Z independently are —CH 2 , —CHR b , O or NR d ;

R b is independently for each occurrence -OH, -CF 3 , —OR c , -NR d R d , or halogen;

R c is independently for each occurrence C 1-6 alkyl, C 3-6 heteroalicyclyl, C 1-6 alkyl substituted with 1, 2 or 3 R e , C 3-6 cycloalkyl substituted with 1, 2 or 3 R e , or C 3-6 heteroalicyclyl substituted with 1, 2 or 3 R e ;

R d is independently for each occurrence H, C 1-6 alkyl optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 R e , or two R d groups together with the nitrogen bound thereto form a C 3-6 heteroalicyclyl moiety optionally substituted with C 1-6 alkyl and optionally interrupted with one or two —O— or —N(R g ) wherein R g is R 70 ; and

R e is independently for each occurrence C 1-6 alkyl, or -OR a .

8. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound has a structure according to Formula 7

or a salt thereof, wherein:

each of Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 and Z 4 independently is N or CR 10 where at least one of Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 and Z 4 is N;

each R 6 independently is H, aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, aryl, —O-aliphatic, araliphatic, heterocyclyl, sulfonyl, halogen, nitro, OH, haloalkyl, carboxyl ester, cyano, acyl, amino, alkyl phosphate or alkylphosphonate; and

each R 10 independently is H, halogen, or aliphatic.

9. The compound of claim 8 , wherein Z 1 is N, and none or one of Z 2 , Z 3 and Z 4 is N.

12. The compound of claim 8 , wherein Z 1 and Z 4 are N, and Z 2 and Z 3 are CR 10 .

13. The compound of claim 8 , wherein each R 6 independently is H, halogen, alkyl, or R a substituted with −OP(O)(R f ) 2 , and R f is independently for each occurrence -OR a , -O − M + where each M + independently is an alkali metal ion or an ammonium ion.

14. A composition, comprising a compound according to claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

15. A method for treating a disease or condition in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 , or a composition comprising the compound.

16. A method for inhibiting IRAK in a subject, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 , or a composition comprising the compound.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the IRAK protein is in a subject, and the method comprising administering the compound to the subject.
