Abstract

The present invention encompasses compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or hydrates thereof, which are useful as selective glucocorticoid receptor ligands for treating a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases or conditions. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use are also included.

Claims (297)

(a) halo,

(b) OCH 3 ,

(c) CH 3 , and

(d) CN;

R 2 and R 3 are each individually hydrogen or methyl; and

each R 4 is independently selected from the group consisting of

(1) —OH,

(2) —C 1-6 alkyl optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents selected independently from hydroxy, oxo, —COOH, amino, methylamino, di-methylamino, =S, and halo,

(3) C 2-6 alkenyl optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents selected independently from hydroxy, halo and —C(O)—O—C 1-2 alkyl,

(4) C 2-6 alkynyl optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents selected independently from hydroxy and halo,

(5) phenyl optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents selected independently from hydroxy, C 1-2 alkyl, —COOH, —C(O)—O—CH 3 and halo,

(6) —C 1-2 alkyl-phenyl optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents independently selected from hydroxy, C 1-2 alkyl and halo,

(7) —CO 2 H,

(8) —CO 2 C 1-3 alkyl,

(9) —OC 1-3 alkyl,

(10) —SO 2 —C 1-3 alkyl,

(11) —SO 2 -phenyl optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 substituents independently selected from hydroxy, C 1-2 alkyl and halo

(12) —C 1-2 alkyl-O—C 1-2 alkyl,

(13) —C 1-2 alkyl-O—C 2-4 alkenyl,

(14) —C 1-2 alkyl-O-phenyl optionally substituted with with 1, 2 or 3 substituents independently selected from hydroxy, C 1-2 alkyl and halo,

(15) —C 1-2 alkyl-C(O)O—C 1-2 alkyl,

(16) 2-(1,3-dioxan)ethyl,

(17) —C 1-2 alkyl-C(O)—NH-phenyl and

(18) —C 1-2 alkyl-C(O)—NHN.

2. A compound according to claim 1 wherein each R 4 is independently selected from the group consisting of —C 1-6 alkyl or hydrogen.

3. A compound according to claim 1 wherein X and Y are both O or are both S or X is O and Y is CH 2 ; and

R 1 is phenyl optionally mono or di-substituted with halo.
