Abstract

Provided are compounds, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of treating ophthalmic diseases and disorders, such as age-related macular degeneration and Stargardt's Disease, using said compounds and compositions.

Claims (63)

1. A compound of Formula (V) or tautomer, stereoisomer, geometric isomer or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or N-oxide thereof:

wherein,

Z is —C(R 9 )(R 10 )—C(R 1 )(R 2 )—;

G is selected from —N(R 42 )C(═O)—R 40 , or —N(R 42 )—C(R 42 )(R 42 )—R 40 ;

R 40 is selected from —C(R 16 )(R 17 )(R 18 );

each R 42 is independently selected from hydrogen, or alkyl;

R 1 and R 2 are each independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 5 alkyl, fluoroalkyl, —OR 6 ; or R 1 and R 2 together form an oxo;

R 3 and R 4 are each hydrogen;

R 9 and R 10 are each independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, fluoroalkyl, or —OR 19 ; or R 9 and R 10 form an oxo; or optionally, R 9 and R 1 together form a direct bond to provide a double bond; or optionally, R 9 and R 1 together form a direct bond, and R 10 and R 2 together form a direct bond to provide a triple bond;

R 11 and R 12 are each independently selected from hydrogen, CH 3 , —C(═O)R 23 , or CO 2 R 23 ;

R 23 is alkyl;

R 6 and R 19 are each independently hydrogen or alkyl;

R 16 and R 17 , together with the carbon to which they are attached form a carbocyclyl;

R 18 is selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, halo or fluoroalkyl;

each R 33 is independently selected from halogen, hydroxyl, alkoxy, alkyl, or fluoroalkyl; and n is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

2. The compound of claim 1 wherein,

R 9 and R 10 are each independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, fluoroalkyl, —OR 19 ; or R 9 and R 10 form an oxo.

3. The compound of claim 1 wherein,

R 11 and R 12 are each independently selected from hydrogen, CH 3 , or —C(═O)R 23 .

4. The compound of claim 3 wherein,

R 9 and R 10 are each independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, —OH; or R 9 and R 10 together form an oxo.

5. The compound of claim 3 wherein,

G is selected from —N(R 42 )C(═O)—R 40 ; and R 11 and R 12 are each hydrogen.

6. The compound of claim 3 wherein,

G is selected from —N(R 42 )—C(R 42 )(R 42 )—R 40 ; and R 11 and R 12 are each hydrogen.

7. The compound of claim 4 wherein,

G is selected from —N(R 42 )C(═O)—R 40 ; and R 11 and R 12 are each hydrogen.

8. The compound of claim 4 wherein,

G is selected from —N(R 42 )—C(R 42 )(R 42 )—R 40 ; and R 11 and R 12 are each hydrogen.

9. The compound of claim 3 wherein,

R 16 and R 17 , together with the carbon to which they are attached, form a cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, or cyclooctyl; and

n is 0, 1, or 2.

10. The compound of claim 9 wherein,

R 16 and R 17 , together with the carbon to which they are attached, form a cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, or cycloheptyl; and

n is 0, 1, or 2.

11. The compound of claim 4 wherein, R 16 and R 17 , together with the carbon to which they are attached, form a cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, or cyclooctyl; and

n is 0, 1, or 2.

12. The compound of claim 5 wherein,

R 16 and R 17 , together with the carbon to which they are attached, form a cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, or cyclooctyl; and

n is 0, 1, or 2.

13. The compound claim 6 wherein,

R 16 and R 17 together with the carbon to which they are attached, form a cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, or cyclooctyl; and

n is 0, 1, or 2.

14. The compound of claim 7 wherein,

R 16 and R 17 , together with the carbon to which they are attached, form a cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, or cyclooctyl; and

n is 0, 1, or 2.

15. The compound of claim 8 wherein,

R 16 and R 17 , together with the carbon to which they are attached, form a cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, or cyclooctyl; and

n is 0, 1, or 2.

16. The compound of claim 4 wherein,

G is selected from —N(R 42 )C(═O)—R 40 ; and R 11 is hydrogen and R 12 is C(═O)R 23 .

17. The compound of claim 4 wherein,

G is selected from —N(R 42 )—C(R 42 )(R 42 )—R 40 ; and R 11 is hydrogen and R 12 is C(═O)R 23 .
