BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel piperidinone compounds, which are formyl peptide 2 (FPR2) receptor agonists and/or formyl peptide 1 (FPR1) receptor agonists, compositions containing them, and methods of using them, for example, for the treatment of atherosclerosis, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and related diseases.

Formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) belongs to small group of seven-transmembrane domain, G protein-coupled receptors that are expressed mainly by mammalian phagocytic leukocytes and are known to be important in host defense and inflammation. FPR2 shares significant sequence homology with FPR1 and FPR3. Collectively, these receptors bind large number of structurally diverse group of agonists, including N-formyl and nonformyl peptides which act as chemo attractants and activate phagocytes. The endogenous antiinflammatory peptide Annexin Al and its N-terminal fragments also bind human FPR1 and FPR2. Importantly, anti-inflammatory eicosanoid lipoxin A4, which belongs to newly discovered class of small pro-resolution mediators (SPMs), has been identified as an agonist for FPR2 (Ye RD., et al, Pharmacol. Rev., 2009, 61, 119-61).

Endogenous FPR2 pro-resolution ligands, such as lipoxin A4 and Annexin Al trigger a wide array of cytoplasmatic cascades such as Gi coupling, Ca 2+ mobilization and □ -arrestin recruitment via FPR2. Activation of FPR2 by lipoxin A4 modifies the effects of peptidic agonists, such as serum amyloid A (SAA), and has alternative effects on phosphorylation pathways depending on the cell type. Lipoxins regulate components of both innate and adaptive immune systems including neutrophils, macrophages, T-, and B- cells. In neutrophils, lipoxins modulate their movement, cytotoxicity and life span. In macrophages, lipoxins prevent their apoptosis and enhance efferocytosis. In most inflammatory cells, lipoxins also down-regulate expression of several pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-1□ and IL-8 as well as up-regulate expression of anti- inflammatory cytokine IL-10 (Chandrasekharan JA, Sharma-Walia N,. J. Inflamm. Res., 2015, 8, 181-92). The primary effects of lipoxin on neutrophils and macrophages are termination of inflammation and initiation of resolution of inflammation. The latter is primarily responsible for enhancing anti-fibrotic wound healing and returning of the injured tissue to homeostasis (Romano M., et al, Eur. J. Pharmacol, 2015, 5, 49-63).

Chronic inflammation is part of the pathway of pathogenesis of many human diseases and stimulation of resolution pathways with FPR2 agonists may have both protective and reparative effects. Ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common feature of several diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Non-productive wound healing associated with cardiomyocyte death and pathological remodeling resulting from ischemia-reperfusion injury leads to scar formation, fibrosis, and progressive lost of heart function. FPR2 modulation is proposed to enhance myocardial wound healing post injury and diminish adverse myocardial remodeling (Kain V., et al, J. Mol. Cell. Cardiol, 2015, 84, 24-35). In addition, FPR2 pro-resolution agonists, in the central nervous system, may be useful therapeutics for the treatment of a variety of clinical I/R conditions, including stroke in brain (Gavins FN., Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 2010, 31 , 266-76) and I/R induced spinal cord injury (Liu ZQ ., et al., Int. J. Clin. Exp. Med., 2015, 8, 12826-33). In addition to beneficial effects of targeting the FPR2 with novel pro-resolution agonists for treatment of I/R induced injury therapeutic, utility of these ligands can also be applied to other diseases. In the cardiovascular system both the FPR2 receptor and its pro-resolution agonists were found to be responsible for atherogenic-plaque stabilization and healing (Petri MH., et al, Cardiovasc. Res., 2015, 105, 65-74; and Fredman G, et al, Sci. Trans. Med., 2015, 7(275);275ra20). FPR2 agonists also have been shown to be beneficial in preclinical models of chronic inflammatory human diseases, including: infectious diseases, psoriasis, dermatitis, occular inflammation, sepsis, pain,

metabolic/diabetes diseases, cancer, COPD, asthma and allergic diseases, cystic fibrosis, acute lung injury and fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and other joint diseases, Alzheimer's disease, kidney fibrosis, and organ transplantation (Romano M., et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol, 2015, 5, 49-63, Perrett, M., et al, Trends in Pharm. Scl, 2015, 36, 737-755).

BIOLOGICAL METHODS

N-formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) are a family of chemo attractant receptors that facilitate leukocyte response during inflammation. FPRs belong to the seven- transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and are linked to inhibitory G- proteins (Gi). Three family members (FPR1, FPR2 and FPR3) have been identified in humans and are predominantly found in myeloid cells with varied distribution and have also been reported in multiple organs and tissues. After agonist binding, the FPRs activate a multitude of physiological pathways, such as intra cellular signaling transduction, Ca2+ mobilization and transcription. The family interacts with a diverse set of ligands that includes proteins, polypeptides and fatty acid metabolites which activate both pro-inflammatory and pro-resolution downstream responses.

The FPR2 receptor binds multiple ligands to invoke both inflammatory and anti- inflammatory responses. Inflammation mediator release by FPR2 is promoted by endogenous protein ligands such as Serum amyloid A (SAA) and Amyloid□ (1-42), whereas resolution of inflammation is induced by ligands that include arachidonic acid metabolites, lipoxin A4 (LXA4) and Epi-lipoxin (ATL), and a docosahexenoic acid metabolite, resolvin Dl (RvDl). The pro-resolving fatty acid metabolites mediate inhibition and resolution of inflammation through the FPR2 receptor by stimulating phagocytosis of apototic neutrophils by macrophages. Removal of the apototic neutrophils induces the release of cytokines that activate pro-resolution pathways.

The FPRl receptor was originally isolated as a high affinity receptor for N- Formylmethionine containing peptides, such as N-Formylmethionine-leucyl- phenylalanine (FMLP). The protein directs mammalian phagocytic and blood leukocyte cells to sites of invading pathogens or inflamed tissues and activates these cells to kill pathogens or to remove cellular debris.

FPR2 and FPRl Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) Assays. A mixture of forskolin (5 μΜ final for FPR2 or 10 μΜ final for FPRl) and IBMX (200 μΜ final) were added to 384-well Proxiplates (Perkin-Elmer) pre-dotted with test compounds in DMSO (1% final) at final concentrations in the range of 1.7 nM to 100 μΜ. Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (CHO) overexpressing human FPRl or human FPR2 receptors were cultured in F-12 (Ham's) medium supplemented with 10% qualified FBS, 250 μg/ml zeocin and 300 μg/ml hygromycin (Life Technologies). Reactions were initiated by adding 2,000 human FPR2 cells per well or 4,000 human FPRl cells per well in Dulbecco's PBS (with calcium and magnesium) (Life Technologies) supplemented with 0.1 % BSA (Perkin- Elmer). The reaction mixtures were incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The level of intracellular cAMP was determined using the HTRF HiRange cAMP assay reagent kit (Cisbio) according to manufacturer's instruction. Solutions of cryptate conjugated anti- cAMP and d2 flurorophore-labelled cAMP were made in a supplied lysis buffer separately. Upon completion of the reaction, the cells were lysed with equal volume of the d2-cAMP solution and anti-cAMP solution. After a 1-h room temperature incubation, time-resolved fluorescence intensity was measured using the Envision (Perkin-Elmer) at 400 nm excitation and dual emission at 590 nm and 665 nm. A calibration curve was constructed with an external cAMP standard at concentrations ranging from 1 μΜ to 0.1 pM by plotting the fluorescent intensity ratio from 665 nm emission to the intensity from the 590 nm emission against cAMP concentrations. The potency and activity of a compound to inhibit cAMP production was then determined by fitting to a 4-parametric logistic equation from a plot of cAMP level versus compound concentrations.

The exemplified Examples disclosed below were tested in the FPR2 and FPRl cAMP assay described above and found having FPR2 and/or FPRl agonist activity. A range of IC50 values of < 1 μΜ (1000 nM) in one of the assays was observed. Table 1 below lists EC50 values in the FPR2 and FPRl cAMP assays measured for the following examples.

The compounds of this invention can be made by various methods known in the art including those of the following schemes and in the specific embodiments section. The structure numbering and variable numbering shown in the synthetic schemes are distinct from, and should not be confused with, the structure or variable numbering in the claims or the rest of the specification. The variables in the schemes are meant only to illustrate how to make some of the compounds of this invention.

The disclosure is not limited to the foregoing illustrative examples and the examples should be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced.

It will also be recognized that another major consideration in the planning of any synthetic route in this field is the judicious choice of the protecting group used for protection of the reactive functional groups present in the compounds described in this invention. An authoritative account describing the many alternatives to the trained practitioner is Greene, T.W. et al, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 4th Edition, Wiley (2007)).

Compounds having the general Formula (IA): wherein rings A, B and C are defined above as Ar 1 , Ar 2 and R 1 , respectively, and can be prepared by the following or more of the synthetic Schemes.

1-Arylpiperidinone compounds of this invention wherein rings A and B are substituted phenyl or heteroaryl rings and ring C is a substituted saturated heterocycle can be prepared by the general route shown in Scheme 1, starting from a suitably protected 3- aminopiperidin-2-one la, where PG is a protecting group such as Boc or Cbz. Copper- catalyzed coupling of la to a substituted iodobenzene lb or other suitable halo aryl or heteroaryl compound in a suitable solvent such as butanol or dioxane, in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate and a suitable ligand such as Ν,Ν'- dimethylethylenediamine, can afford 1-arylpiperidinones lc. Additional methods for this transformation include other variations of Ullmann, Goldberg, and Buchwald copper- catalyzed amidation or Buchwald Pd-catalyzed amidation depending on the nature of ring B, using methods known to one skilled in the art for these types of couplings (see for example Yin & Buchwald Organic Lett. 2000, 2, 1101; Klapers et al. JACS, 2001, 123, 7727; Klapars et al. JACS, 2002, 124, 7421 ; Yin & Buchwald JACS. 2002, 124, 6043; Kiyomor, Madoux & Buchwald, Tet. Lett., 1999, 40, 2657, Surry and Buchwald Angew. Chern. Int. Ed., 2008, 47, 6338). Subsequent palladium-catalyzed animation of lc to a suitably substituted amine Id can provide compound le. Other methods for forming this bond can be found in the literature and can used by those skillied in the art. (Surry & Buchwald Chem Sci. 2011 ; 2(1): 27-50; Shaughnessy, Ciganek & DeVasher, Organic Reactions. 2014, 85: 1 : 1-668). Removal of the protecting group from le, followed by condensation of the resulting free amine with a suitably substituted phenyl isocyanate, lg or phenylcarbamate lh can provide ureas If. Suitable isocyanates or 4- nitrophenylcarbamates are either commercially available or can be readily obtained from the corresponding aniline by methods known to one skilled in the art. Alternately, the ureas If can be obtained by treatment of the deprotected 3-aminopiperidinone intermediate with 4-nitrophenylchloroformate to form the carbamate, followed by condensation with an appropriately substituted aniline lj. It will also be recognized by one skilled in the art that additional compounds of this invention wherein rings A and B are heteroaryl rings, such as pyridine, pyrimidine, thiazole, etc., can also be prepared using the methods outlined in Scheme 1 by substituting the appropriate heteroaryl iodide or bromine for lb and heteroaryl amine, isocyanate or p-nitrophenylcarbamate for le. Scheme 1

Alternatively as described in Scheme 2, compounds of this invention can be prepared from intermediate lc by first deprotecting the amine and forming the urea linkage to ring A using the conditions described above for the conversion of le to If to provide compounds 2a. Compound 2a can then be coupled with amine under Pd- catalysis or Cu-catalysis conditions as shown in Scheme 1 for the transformation of lc to le

Additionally, compounds of this invention can be prepared from intermediate 2a by conversion to boronate 3b using palladium-catalyzed borylation according to the method of Suzuki and Miyaura followed by coupling of the resulting pinacolatoboron species with an amine copper catalyzed Chan-Lam coupling to provide compounds If (J. Org. Chem. , 2016, 81 (9), pp 3942-3950).

Scheme 3

Alternatively, compounds of this invention can be prepared from intermediate 4b by nucleophilic displacement of the arylfluoride with cyclic amines (Id) to form intermediate 4c. Deprotection and installation of the urea, as shown in the above Schemes, results in the synthesis of some compounds described by this invention. Scheme 4

Even though rings A and B are shown as phenyl and C is shown as piperidine in Schemes 1-4, those skilled in the art can use analogous chemistry to make other compounds claimed in this patent. For example, the chemistry for introducing Ring C can also used with other cyclic amines.

Example 1A: tert-Butyl (l-(4-((R)-3-hydroxypyrrolidin-l-yl)phenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-3 - yl)carbamate

(i?)-pyrrolidin-3-ol (0.24 g, 2.7 mmol), and CS2CO3 (1.8 g, 5.4 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of tert-butyl (i?)-(l-(4-bromophenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)carbamate (1.0 g, 2.7 mmol)) in toluene (10 mL). The reaction mixture was purged with nitrogen for 5 min and charged with Pd(OAc)2 (0.061 g, 0.27 mmol) and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',6' diipropoxy-l,l'-biphenyl (0.25 g, 0.54 mmol). The reaction mixture was again purged with nitrogen for 3 min and heated to 100°C for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled, filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was purified using column chromatography to afford fert-butyl (l-(4-((i?)- 3-hydroxypyrrolidin-l-yl)phenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)carbama te (250 mg, 0.66 mmol, 25% yield) as a pale yellow solid. MS(ESI) m/z: 376.2 (M+H) + .

Example IB: 3-Amino-l-(4-((R)-3-hydroxypyrrolidin-l-yl)phenyl)piperidin- 2-one hydrochloride

4N HC1 in 1,4-dioxane (1.7 mL, 6.7 mmol) was added to an ice cooled solution of tert- butyl (l-(4-((i?)-3-hydroxypyrrolidin-l-yl)phenyl)-2-oxopiperidin- 3-yl)carbamate (0.25 g, 0.67 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (1 mL), and the mixture was stirred at rt for two hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain a gummy solid. The solid was triturated with diethyl ether (2 x 20 mL) and dried to afford 3-amino-l-(4-((i?)-3- hydroxypyrrolidin-l-yl)phenyl)piperidin-2-one hydrochloride (0.20 g, 0.64 mmol, 96 % yield) as a off white solid. MS(ESI) m/z: 275.9 (M+H) + .

Example 1 : To an ice cooled solution of 3-amino-l-(4-((i?)-3-hydroxypyrrolidin-l- yl)phenyl)piperidin-2-one hydrochloride (0.20 g, 0.64 mmol) in DMSO (1 mL) under nitrogen, were added K2CO3 (0.052 mL, 0.37 mmol) and phenyl (4- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl)carbamate (0.20 g, 0.71 mmol). The reaction mixture was gradually warmed to rt and stirred for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through syringe filter, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was purified by reverse phase chromatography followed by chiral HPLC to afford Example 1 (6 mg,

0.013 mmol, 2.71%). MS(ESI) m/z: 463.2 (M+H) + ; ¾ NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-c e): δ 9.19 (s, 1H), 7.70 - 7.47 (m, 4H), 7.13 - 6.98 (m, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 6.66 (d, J=6.4 Hz, 1H), 6.56 - 6.41 (m, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 4.94 (d, J=3.4 Hz, 1H), 4.39 (br. s.,lH), 4.30 - 4.21 (m, 1H), 3.58 (t, J=6.1 Hz, 2H), 3.42 - 3.38 (m, 2H), 3.26 (dd, J=8.3, 3.4 Hz,lH), 3.05 (d, J=10.5 Hz, 1H), 2.30 (d, J=5.9 Hz, 1H), 2.09 - 1.83 (m, 4H), 1.79 - 1.68 (m, 1H). RT = 1.56 min, 98.7% (Method F); chiral purity determined by chiral SFC analysis (method IV).

Additional examples of compounds of this invention shown in Table 1 were prepared using combinations of the procedures described in Example 1 or modifications thereof known to one skilled in the art of organic synthesis.

Example 54A: tert-Butyl (l -(6-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)carbamate

To a solution of tert-bu yl (2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)carbamate (5.0 g, 23 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) at rt, were added 5-bromo-2-fiuoropyridine (2.9 mL, 28 mmol), potassium phosphate tribasic (9.9 g, 47 mmol) and, N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (0.41 g, 4.7 mmol). The reaction mixture was purged with nitrogen for 5 min and charged with copper(I) iodide (0.44 g, 2.3 mmol). The reaction mixture was again purged with nitrogen for 3 min and heated at 60 °C for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled, filtered through celite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was purified using column chromatography to afford Example 54 A (3.5 g, 11 mmol, 49% yield) as a white solid.

Example 54B: tert-Butyl (l-(6-morpholinopyridin-3-yl)-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)carbamate

To a stirred solution of Example 54 A (1.0 g, 3.2 mmol) in DMF (1 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature, morpholine (0.34 g, 3.9 mmol), and DIPEA (1.7 mL, 9.7 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was gradually warmed to 130 °C and stirred for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to rt, filtered through celite, and washed with EtOAc. The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure, and the crude compound was purified using by column chromatography to afford Example 54B (0.50 g, 1.3 mmol, 41 % yield) as a pale yellow solid. MS(ESI) m/z: 377.5 [M+H]+ Example 54C: 3-Amino-l-(6-mo holinopyridin-3-yl)piperidin-2-one hydrochloride

To an ice cooled solution of Example 54B (0.80 g, 2.1 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (5 mL), was added 4N HCl in 1 ,4-dioxane (5.3 mL, 21 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at rt for two hours. The solvent was evaporated, and the sample was dried under reduced pressure to obtain a gummy solid. The solid was triturated with diethyl ether (2 x 20 mL) and dried to afford Example 54C (0.66 g, 2.1 mmol, 99 % yield) as a off white solid. The product was used in the subsequent step without purification.

Example 54: TEA (0.20 mL, 1.4 mmol), and l-isocyanato-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (0.15 g, 0.80 mmol) were added sequentially to a stirred solution of Example 54C (0.20 g, 0.64 mmol) in THF (3 mL) under nitrogen at rt. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with ice cold water, brine, dried over Na2S04, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude compound was purified by column chromatography followed by chiral HPLC to afford Example 54 (18 mg, 0.038 mmol, 5.9% yield).

tert-Buty] irans-5-hydroxy-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)carbaraaie was synthesized using the procedures found in Gordon, Sandra et al, Farmaco, 52(10), 603-608; 1997. Acetic anhydride (20 mL, 210 mmol) was added to a solution of tert-butyl trans -(5 -hydroxy -2- oxopiperidin-3-yl)carbamate (8.0 g, 35 mmol) in pyridine (20 mL) at rt and the reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h under nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give Example 65A (8.0 g, 29 mmol, 85% yield) as a white solid. Example 65B: frans-l-(4-bromophenyl)-5-((tert-k

3-yl acetate

A mixture of Example 65A (6.0 g, 22 mmol), 4-bromophenylboronic acid (5.3 g, 26 mmol), copper (II) acetate (4.8 g, 26 mmol) and TEA (9.2 mL, 66 mmol) in DCM (30 mL) was stirred for 2 h under an oxygen atmosphere at rt. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product, which was purified via column

chromatography (1 :4 ethyl acetate/hexanes) to yield Example 65B (3.0 g, 7.0 mmol, 32% yield). MS(ESI) m/z: 427.0/429.0(M+H) + .

Example 65 C: tert-butyl (trans- 1 -(4-bromophenyl)-5-hydroxy-2-oxopiperidin-3- y])carbamate

LiOH (0.19 g, 8.0 mmol) was added to a solution of Example 65B (3.4 g, 8.0 mmol) in THF/water (1 : 1 , 30 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at rt. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the volatiles and acidified with aqueous citric acid solution. The solution was filtered and the precipitate was washed with water and dried m vacuo. The crude compound purified by prep HPLC to yield Example 65C (2.0 g, 5.2 mraol, 65% yield). MS(ESI) tn/z: 385.0/387.0 (M+H)+.

Example 65D: tert-Butyl (5-hydroxy-l-(4-morpholinophenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-3- yl)carbamate

To a stirred solution of Example 65C (0.30 g, 0.78 mmol) in toluene (2 mL), were added morpholine (0.14 g, 0.78 mmol), and CS2CO3 (0.51 g, 1.56 mmol). The reaction mixture was purged with nitrogen for 5 min and charged with PdOAc2 (0.017 g, 0.078 mmol) and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',6'-diisopropoxy-l,l'-biphenyl (0.073 g, 0.16 mmol). The reaction mixture was again purged with nitrogen for 3 min and heated to 100°C for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, filtered through celite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was purified by column chromatography to afford a mixture of trans enantiomers of Example 65D (0.12 g, 0.22 mmol, 27.6 %) as pale yellow solid. MS(ESI) m/z: 392.3 [M+H] +

It will be evident to one skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the foregoing illustrative examples, and that it can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the essential attributes thereof. It is therefore desired that the examples be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing examples, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
