Abstract

The instant invention describes compounds having metalloenzyme modulating activity, and methods of treating diseases, disorders or symptoms thereof mediated by such metalloenzymes.

Claims (47)

1. A compound of formula (I), or salt, solvate, hydrate or prodrug thereof, wherein:

R 1 is optionally substituted naphthyl;

R 2 is alkyl; and

R 3 is independently optionally H, substituted alkyl, or substituted cycloalkyl.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is H.

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is substituted naphthyl and R 3 is H.

5. The compound of claim 4 , wherein R 1 is naphthyl substituted with 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents, independently selected from alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, cyano, halo, amino, mono-alkylamino, di-alkylamino, or heteroaryl.

6. A compound having the structure of formula (III), or salt, solvate, hydrate, or prodrug thereof:

wherein X is N, Y is CH or N, R 2 is optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted naphthyl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted aralkyl, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl, optionally substituted heteroaryl-alkyl or optionally substituted heteroaryl-(di)fluoroalkyl; R 3 is independently optionally H, substituted alkyl, or substituted cycloalkyl; R 4 and R 5 are independently H, halogen, alkoxy, fluoroalkoxy containing 1-5 fluorines, cyano, carboxamido, optionally substituted aryl, or optionally substituted heteroaryl; and R 6 is independently H, halogen, alkoxy, aryloxy, thioalkoxy, cycloalkoxy, haloalkoxy, fluoroalkoxy containing 1-5 fluorines, cyano, carboxamido, optionally substituted aryl, or optionally substituted heteroaryl.

7. The compound of claim 6 , wherein Y═N.

8. The compound of claim 6 , wherein Y═CH.

9. The compound of claim 1 that is:

1-(1-(6,7-dimethoxynaphthalen-2-yl)-2-methylpropyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole (1);

10. A method of treating a subject suffering from a metalloenzyme-related disorder or disease, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound of claim 1 or 6 ;

wherein the metalloenzyme-related disorder or disease is mediated by 17-alpha hydroxylase (CYP17).

11.
