Description:
TRICYCLIC SULFONES AS ROR GAMMA MODULATORS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.62/419,607 filed November 9, 2016, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to modulators of the retinoid-related orphan receptor RORγ and methods for using said modulators. The compounds described herein can be particularly useful for diagnosing, preventing, or treating a variety of diseases and disorders in humans and animals. Exemplary disorders include, but are not limited to, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, acute graft-versus- host disease, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and multiple sclerosis. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The retinoid-related orphan receptors, RORα, RORβ, and RORγ, play an important role in numerous biological processes including organ development, immunity, metabolism, and circadian rhythms. See, for example, Dussault et al. in Mech. Dev. (1998) vol.70, 147- 153; Andre et al. in EMBO J. (1998) vol.17, 3867-3877; Sun et al. in Science (2000) vol. 288, 2369-2373; and Jetten in Nucl. Recept. Signal. (2009) vol.7, 1-32.

RORγ is expressed in several tissues including the thymus, kidney, liver, and muscle. Two isoforms of RORγ have been identified: RORγ1 and RORγ2 (also known, respectively, as RORγ and RORγt). See, for example, Hirose et al. in Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. (1994) vol.205, 1976-1983; Oritz et al. in Mol. Endocrinol. (1995) vol.9, 1679-1691; and He et al. in Immunity (1998) vol.9, 797-806. Expression of RORγt is restricted to lymphoid cell types including CD4+CD8+ thymocytes, IL-17 producing T helper (Th17) cells, lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells, and γδ cells. RORγt is essential for the development of lymph nodes and Peyer's patches and for the normal differentiation of Th17, γδ, and LTi cells. See, for example, Sun et al. in Science (2000) vol.288, 2369-2373; Ivanov et al. in Cell (2006) vol.126, 1121-1133; Eberl et al. in Nat. Immunol. (2004) vol.5, 64-73; Ivanov et al. in Semin. Immunol. (2007) vol.19, 409-417; and Cua and Tato in Nat. Rev. Immunol. (2010) Proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-17A (also referred to as IL-17), IL-17F, and IL-22 produced by Th17 cells and other RORγ+ lymphocytes activate and direct the immune response to extracellular pathogens. See, for example, Ivanov et al. in Semin. Immunol. (2007) vol.19: 409-417; and Marks and Craft in Semin. Immunol. (2009) vol.21, 164-171. RORγ directly regulates IL-17 transcription and disruption of RORγ in mice attenuates IL-17 production. See, for example, Ivanov et al. in Cell (2006) vol.126, 1121-1133.

Dysregulated production of IL-17 has been implicated in several human autoimmune and inflammatory diseases including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and asthma. See, for example, Lock et al. in Nat. Med. (2002) vol.8, 500-508; Tzartos et al. in Am. J. Pathol. (2008) vol.172, 146-155; Kotake et al. in J. Clin. Invest. (1999) vol.103, 1345-1352; Kirkham et al. in Arthritis Rheum. (2006) vol. 54, 1122-1131; Lowes et al. in J. Invest. Dermatol. (2008) vol.128, 1207-1211; Leonardi et al. in N. Engl. J. Med. (2012) vol.366, 1190-1199; Fujino et al. in Gut (2003) vol.52, 65-70; Seiderer et al. in Inflamm. Bowel Dis. (2008) vol.14, 437-445; Wong et al. in Clin. Exp. Immunol. (2001) vol.125, 177-183; and Agache et al. in Respir. Med. (2010) 104: 1131- 1137. In murine models of these diseases, inhibition of IL-17 function by neutralizing antibodies or genetic disruption of IL-17 or IL-17 receptor ameliorates the disease course or clinical symptoms. See, for example, Hu et al. in Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. (2011) vol.1217, 60- 76.

Disruption of RORγ in mice also attenuates disease progression or severity in animal models of autoimmunity and inflammation including experimental autoimmune

encephalomyelitis (EAE), imiquimod induced psoriasis, colitis, and allergic airway disease. See, for example, Ivanov et al. in Cell (2006) vol.126, 1121-1133; Yang et al. in Immunity (2008) vol.28, 29-39; Pantelyushin et al. in J. Clin. Invest. (2012) vol.122, 2252-2256; Leppkes et al. in Gastroenterology (2009) vol.136, 257-267; and Tilley et al. in J. Immunol. (2007) vol.178, 3208-3218.

Each of the references in this Background section is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.

Therapeutic agents exist to treat a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, but there still remains a significant unmet medical need in these therapeutic areas. Given the role of IL-17 in human disease and the validation of IL-17 and RORγ as targets in murine disease models, compounds capable of modulating RORγt activity are contemplated to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of multiple immune and inflammatory disorders.

DEFINITIONS

The following are definitions of terms used in this specification and appended claims. The initial definition provided for a group or term herein applies to that group or term throughout the specification and claims, individually or as part of another group, unless otherwise indicated. Compounds of this invention may have one or more asymmetric centers. Unless otherwise indicated, all chiral (enantiomeric and diastereomeric) and racemic forms of compounds of the present invention are included in the present invention. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C=N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present invention are described and may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms. The present compounds can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. It is well known in the art how to prepare optically active forms, such as by resolution of racemic forms or by synthesis from optically active starting materials. All chiral (enantiomeric and diastereomeric) and racemic forms and all geometric isomeric forms of a structure are intended, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomer form is specifically indicated.

When any variable (e.g., R 3 ) occurs more than one time in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-2 R 3 , then said group may optionally be substituted with up to two R 3 groups and R 3 at each occurrence is selected independently from the definition of R 3 . Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent may be bonded to any atom on the ring. When a substituent is listed without indicating the atom via which such substituent is bonded to the rest of the compound of a given formula, then such substituent may be bonded via any atom in such substituent. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

In cases wherein there are nitrogen atoms (e.g., amines) on compounds of the present invention, these can be converted to N-oxides by treatment with an oxidizing agent (e.g., MCPBA and/or hydrogen peroxides) to afford other compounds of this invention. Thus, all shown and claimed nitrogen atoms are considered to cover both the shown nitrogen and its N-oxide (N→O) derivative. In accordance with a convention used in the art, is used in structural formulas herein to depict the bond that is the point of attachment of the moiety or substituent to the core or backbone structure. A dash "-" that is not between two letters or symbols is used to indicate a point of attachment for a substituent. For example, -CONH 2 is attached through the carbon atom.

The term "optionally substituted" in reference to a particular moiety of the compound of Formula I (e.g., an optionally substituted heteroaryl group) refers to a moiety having 0, 1, 2, or more substituents. For example, "optionally substituted alkyl" encompasses both "alkyl" and "substituted alkyl" as defined below. It will be understood by those skilled in the art, with respect to any group containing one or more substituents, that such groups are not intended to introduce any substitution or substitution patterns that are sterically impractical, synthetically non-feasible and/or inherently unstable.

As used herein, the term "at least one chemical entity" is interchangeable with the term "a compound."

As used herein, the term "alkyl" or "alkylene" is intended to include both branched and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having the specified number of carbon atoms. For example, "C1-10 alkyl" (or alkylene), is intended to include C1, C2, C3, C4, C 5 , C 6 , C 7 , C 8 , C 9 , and C 10 alkyl groups. Additionally, for example, "C 1 -C 6 alkyl" denotes alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Alkyl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted so that one or more of its hydrogens are replaced by another chemical group, for example, aryl or heteroaryl groups which are optionally substituted for example with alkyl, halo or haloalkyl. Example alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (e.g., n- propyl and isopropyl), butyl (e.g., n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl), pentyl (e.g., n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl), and the like.

Alkenyl" or "alkenylene" is intended to include hydrocarbon chains of either straight or branched configuration and having one or more double carbon-carbon bonds that may occur in any stable point along the chain. For example, "C2-6 alkenyl" (or alkenylene), is intended to include C 2 , C 3 , C 4 , C 5 , and C 6 alkenyl groups. Examples of alkenyl include, but are not limited to, ethenyl, 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl, 2-butenyl, 3-butenyl, 2-pentenyl, 3- pentenyl, 4-pentenyl, 2-hexenyl, 3-hexenyl, 4-hexenyl, 5-hexenyl, 2-methyl-2-propenyl, 4- methyl-3-pentenyl, and the like.

"Alkynyl" or "alkynylene" is intended to include hydrocarbon chains of both straight or branched configuration and having one or more triple carbon-carbon bonds that may occur in any stable point along the chain. For example, "C2-6 alkynyl" (or alkynylene), is intended to include C 2 , C 3 , C 4 , C 5 , and C 6 alkynyl groups; such as ethynyl, propynyl, butynyl, pentynyl, hexynyl and the like. One skilled in the field will understand that, when the designation "CO2" is used

O

herein, this is intended to refer to the group C O .

When the term "alkyl" is used together with another group, such as in "arylalkyl", this conjunction defines with more specificity at least one of the substituents that the substituted alkyl will contain. For example, "arylalkyl" refers to a substituted alkyl group as defined above where at least one of the substituents is an aryl, such as benzyl. Thus, the term aryl(C 0- 4)alkyl includes a substituted lower alkyl having at least one aryl substituent and also includes an aryl directly bonded to another group, i.e., aryl(C 0 )alkyl. The term "heteroarylalkyl" refers to a substituted alkyl group as defined above where at least one of the substituents is a heteroaryl.

When reference is made to a substituted alkenyl, alkynyl, alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene group, these groups are substituted with one to three substituents as defined above for substituted alkyl groups.

The term "alkoxy" refers to an oxygen atom substituted by alkyl or substituted alkyl, as defined herein. For example, the term "alkoxy" includes the group -O-C1-6alkyl such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy, sec-butoxy, tert-butoxy, pentoxy, 2- pentyloxy, isopentoxy, neopentoxy, hexoxy, 2-hexoxy, 3-hexoxy, 3-methylpentoxy, and the like. "Lower alkoxy" refers to alkoxy groups having one to four carbons.

It should be understood that the selections for all groups, including for example, alkoxy, thioalkyl, and aminoalkyl, will be made by one skilled in the field to provide stable compounds.

The term "substituted", as used herein, means that any one or more hydrogens on the designated atom or group is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valence is not exceeded. When a substituent is oxo, or keto, (i.e., =O) then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Keto substituents are not present on aromatic moieties. Unless otherwise specified, substituents are named into the core structure. For example, it is to be understood that when (cycloalkyl)alkyl is listed as a possible substituent, the point of attachment of this substituent to the core structure is in the alkyl portion. Ring double bonds, as used herein, are double bonds that are formed between two adjacent ring atoms (e.g., C=C, C=N, or N=N).

Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds or useful synthetic intermediates. A stable compound or stable structure is meant to imply a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation from a reaction mixture to a useful degree of purity, and subsequent formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent. It is preferred that the presently recited compounds do not contain a N-halo, S(O)2H, or S(O)H group.

The term "cycloalkyl" refers to cyclized alkyl groups, including mono-, bi- or poly- cyclic ring systems. C3-7 cycloalkyl is intended to include C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7 cycloalkyl groups. Example cycloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, norbornyl, and the like. As used herein, "carbocycle" or "carbocyclic residue" is intended to mean any stable 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7-membered monocyclic or bicyclic or 7- , 8-, 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-, or 13-membered bicyclic or tricyclic ring, any of which may be saturated, partially unsaturated, unsaturated or aromatic. Examples of such carbocycles include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclobutenyl, cyclopentyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cycloheptenyl, adamantyl, cyclooctyl, cyclooctenyl, cyclooctadienyl, [3.3.0]bicyclooctane, [4.3.0]bicyclononane, [4.4.0]bicyclodecane,

[2.2.2]bicyclooctane, fluorenyl, phenyl, naphthyl, indanyl, adamantyl, anthracenyl, and tetrahydronaphthyl (tetralin). As shown above, bridged rings are also included in the definition of carbocycle (e.g., [2.2.2]bicyclooctane). Preferred carbocycles, unless otherwise specified, are cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and phenyl. When the term "carbocycle" is used, it is intended to include "aryl". A bridged ring occurs when one or more carbon atoms link two non-adjacent carbon atoms. Preferred bridges are one or two carbon atoms. It is noted that a bridge always converts a monocyclic ring into a bicyclic ring. When a ring is bridged, the substituents recited for the ring may also be present on the bridge.

The term "aryl" refers to monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups having 6 to 12 carbon atoms in the ring portion, such as phenyl, and naphthyl groups, each of which may be substituted.

Thus, examples of aryl groups include:

fluorenyl) and the like, which optionally may be substituted at any available carbon or nitrogen atom. A preferred aryl group is optionally- substituted phenyl.

Accordingly, in compounds of Formula I, the term "cycloalkyl" includes cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, bicyclooctyl, etc., as well as the following ring systems:

and the like, which optionally may be substituted at any available atoms of the ring(s). Preferred cycloalkyl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and

The term "halo" or "halogen" refers to chloro, bromo, fluoro and iodo.

The term "haloalkyl" means a substituted alkyl having one or more halo substituents. For example, "haloalkyl" includes mono, di, and trifluoromethyl.

The term "haloalkoxy" means an alkoxy group having one or more halo substituents. For example, "haloalkoxy" includes OCF3.

The terms“heterocycle”, "heterocycloalkyl", "heterocyclo", "heterocyclic", or "heterocyclyl" may be used interchangeably and refer to substituted and unsubstituted 3- to 7- membered monocyclic groups, 7- to 11-membered bicyclic groups, and 10- to 15-membered tricyclic groups, in which at least one of the rings has at least one heteroatom (O, S or N), said heteroatom containing ring preferably having 1, 2, or 3 heteroatoms selected from O, S, and N. Each ring of such a group containing a heteroatom can contain one or two oxygen or sulfur atoms and/or from one to four nitrogen atoms provided that the total number of heteroatoms in each ring is four or less, and further provided that the ring contains at least one carbon atom. The nitrogen and sulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized and the nitrogen atoms may optionally be quaternized. The fused rings completing the bicyclic and tricyclic groups may contain only carbon atoms and may be saturated, partially saturated, or fully unsaturated.

The term "heteroaryl" refers to substituted and unsubstituted aromatic 5- or 6- membered monocyclic groups, 9- or 10-membered bicyclic groups, and 11- to 14-membered tricyclic groups which have at least one heteroatom (O, S or N) in at least one of the rings, said heteroatom-containing ring preferably having 1, 2, or 3 heteroatoms selected from O, S, and N. Each ring of the heteroaryl group containing a heteroatom can contain one or two oxygen or sulfur atoms and/or from one to four nitrogen atoms provided that the total number of heteroatoms in each ring is four or less and each ring has at least one carbon atom. The fused rings completing the bicyclic and tricyclic groups may contain only carbon atoms and may be saturated, partially saturated, or unsaturated. The nitrogen and sulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized and the nitrogen atoms may optionally be quaternized. Heteroaryl groups which are bicyclic or tricyclic must include at least one fully aromatic ring but the other fused ring or rings may be aromatic or non-aromatic. The heteroaryl group may be attached at any available nitrogen or carbon atom of any ring. As valence allows, if said further ring is cycloalkyl or heterocyclo it is additionally optionally substituted with =O (oxo).

Throughout the specification, groups and substituents thereof may be chosen by one skilled in the field to provide stable moieties and compounds and compounds useful as pharmaceutically-acceptable compounds and/or intermediate compounds useful in making pharmaceutically-acceptable compounds.

The compounds of Formula I may exist in a free form (with no ionization) or can form salts which are also within the scope of this invention. Unless otherwise indicated, reference to an inventive compound is understood to include reference to the free form and to salts thereof. The term "salt(s)" denotes acidic and/or basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids and bases. In addition, the term "salt(s) may include zwitterions (inner salts), e.g., when a compound of Formula I, contains both a basic moiety, such as an amine or a pyridine or imidazole ring, and an acidic moiety, such as a carboxylic acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salts are preferred, such as, for example, acceptable metal and amine salts in which the cation does not contribute significantly to the toxicity or biological activity of the salt. However, other salts may be useful, e.g., in isolation or purification steps which may be employed during preparation, and thus, are contemplated within the scope of the invention. Salts of the compounds of the Formula I may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound of the Formula I with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.

Exemplary acid addition salts include acetates (such as those formed with acetic acid or trihaloacetic acid, for example, trifluoroacetic acid), adipates, alginates, ascorbates, aspartates, benzoates, benzenesulfonates, hydrogen sulfates, borates, butyrates, citrates, camphorates, camphorsulfonates, cyclopentanepropionates, digluconates, dodecylsulfates, ethanesulfonates, fumarates, glucoheptanoates, glycerophosphates, hemisulfates, heptanoates, hexanoates, hydrochlorides (formed with hydrochloric acid), hydrobromides (formed with hydrogen bromide), hydroiodides, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonates, lactates, maleates (formed with maleic acid), methanesulfonates (formed with methanesulfonic acid), 2- naphthalenesulfonates, nicotinates, nitrates, oxalates, pectinates, persulfates, 3- phenylpropionates, phosphates, picrates, pivalates, propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates (such as those formed with sulfuric acid), sulfonates (such as those mentioned herein), tartrates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates such as tosylates, undecanoates, and the like.

Exemplary basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium, lithium, and potassium salts; alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium salts; barium, zinc, and aluminum salts; salts with organic bases (for example, organic amines) such as trialkylamines such as triethylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, N-benzyl-β- phenethylamine, 1-ephenamine, N,N′-dibenzylethylene-diamine, dehydroabietylamine, N- ethylpiperidine, benzylamine, dicyclohexylamine or similar pharmaceutically acceptable amines and salts with amino acids such as arginine, lysine and the like. Basic nitrogen- containing groups may be quaternized with agents such as lower alkyl halides (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), dialkyl sulfates (e.g., dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, and diamyl sulfates), long chain halides (e.g., decyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), aralkyl halides (e.g., benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others. Preferred salts include monohydrochloride, hydrogen sulfate, methanesulfonate, phosphate or nitrate salts.

The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refer to derivatives of the disclosed compounds wherein the parent compound is modified by making acid or base salts thereof. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, mineral or organic acid salts of basic groups such as amines; and alkali or organic salts of acidic groups such as carboxylic acids. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts include the conventional non-toxic salts or the quaternary ammonium salts of the parent compound formed, for example, from non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. For example, such conventional non-toxic salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric, and nitric; and the salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, stearic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, pamoic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, phenylacetic, glutamic, benzoic, salicylic, sulfanilic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, fumaric, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, oxalic, and isethionic, and the like.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from the parent compound which contains a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base or acid in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two; generally, nonaqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile are preferred. Lists of suitable salts are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, PA (1990), the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

All stereoisomers of the compounds of the instant invention are contemplated, either in admixture or in pure or substantially pure form. Stereoisomers may include compounds which are optical isomers through possession of one or more chiral atoms, as well as compounds which are optical isomers by virtue of limited rotation about one or more bonds (atropisomers). The definition of compounds according to the invention embraces all the possible stereoisomers and their mixtures. It very particularly embraces the racemic forms and the isolated optical isomers having the specified activity. The racemic forms can be resolved by physical methods, such as, for example, fractional crystallization, separation or crystallization of diastereomeric derivatives or separation by chiral column chromatography. The individual optical isomers can be obtained from the racemates from the conventional methods, such as, for example, salt formation with an optically active acid followed by crystallization. One enantiomer of a compound of Formula I may display superior activity compared with the other.

The present invention is intended to include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the present compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include deuterium and tritium. Isotopes of carbon include 13 C and 14 C. Isotopically- labeled compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed.

Prodrugs and solvates of the inventive compounds are also contemplated. The term "prodrug" denotes a compound which, upon administration to a subject, undergoes chemical conversion by metabolic or chemical processes to yield a compound of the Formula I, and/or a salt and/or solvate thereof. Any compound that will be converted in vivo to provide the bioactive agent (i.e., the compound for Formula I) is a prodrug within the scope and spirit of the invention. For example, compounds containing a carboxy group can form physiologically hydrolyzable esters which serve as prodrugs by being hydrolyzed in the body to yield Formula I compounds per se. Such prodrugs are preferably administered orally since hydrolysis in many instances occurs principally under the influence of the digestive enzymes. Parenteral administration may be used where the prodrug per se is active, or in those instances where hydrolysis occurs in the blood. Examples of physiologically hydrolyzable esters of compounds of Formula I containing a carboxy group include C1-6-alkylbenzyl, 4- methoxybenzyl, indanyl, phthalyl, methoxymethyl, C 1-6 -alkanoyloxy-C 1-6 -alkyl, e.g., acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl or propionyloxymethyl, C1-6-alkoxycarbonyloxy-C1-6- alkyl, e.g., methoxycarbonyl-oxymethyl or ethoxycarbonyloxymethyl, glycyloxymethyl, phenylglycyloxymethyl, (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)-methyl and other well known physiologically hydrolyzable esters used, for example, in the penicillin and cephalosporin arts. Such esters may be prepared by conventional techniques known in the art. Also, compounds containing a hydroxy group can form physiologically cleavable esters, acetals or ketals which serve as prodrugs by being hydrolyzed in the body to yield Formula I compounds per se. Examples of physiologically hydrolyzable esters, acetals and ketals of compounds of Formula I containing a hydroxy group include compounds where the hydrogen of the hydroxy group is replaced by acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, pivalyl,

hydroxyacetyl, hydroxypropionyl, aminoacetyl, alanyl, β-alanyl, aspartyl, asparaginyl, glutamyl, glutaminyl, arginyl, lysyl, seryl, dihydroxyphosphoryl, hydroxysulfonyl, dihydroxyphosphoryloxymethyl, 1-dihydroxyphosphoryloxyethyl,

hydroxysulfonyloxymethyl, 1-hydroxysulfonyloxyethyl, acetoxymethyl, 1-acetoxyethyl, optionally 2-substituted 2-aminoacyloxymethyl, and the like. Salt forms of such prodrugs are also contemplated, for example an acid addition salt (such as a hydrochloride) of an aminoacyl ester or aminoacyloxymethyl acetal, a mono- or disodium salt of a

dihydroxyphosphoryl or dihydroxyphosphoryloxymethyl derivative, or a sodium salt of a hydroxysulfonyloxy or hydroxysulfonyloxymethyl derivative. Such esters, acetals and ketals may be prepared by conventional techniques known in the art.

Various forms of prodrugs are well known in the art. For examples of such prodrug derivatives, see:

Compounds of the Formula I and salts thereof may exist in their tautomeric form, in which hydrogen atoms are transposed to other parts of the molecules and the chemical bonds between the atoms of the molecules are consequently rearranged. It should be understood that the all tautomeric forms, insofar as they may exist, are included within the invention.

Additionally, inventive compounds may have trans and cis isomers.

It should further be understood that solvates (e.g., hydrates) of the compounds of Formula I are also with the scope of the present invention. Methods of solvation are generally known in the art. FORMULATIONS/COMPOSITIONS Another aspect of the invention is a pharmaceutical composition including a compound, stereoisomeric form, pharmaceutical salt, solvate or hydrate as described herein. The pharmaceutical compositions described herein generally comprise a combination of a compound described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient. Such compositions are substantially free of non-pharmaceutically acceptable components, i.e., contain amounts of non-pharmaceutically acceptable components lower than permitted by U.S. regulatory requirements at the time of filing this application. In some embodiments of this aspect, if the compound is dissolved or suspended in water, the composition further optionally comprises an additional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein are solid pharmaceutical compositions (e.g., tablet, capsules, etc.).

These compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art, and can be administered by a variety of routes, depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and upon the area to be treated. Administration may be topical (including ophthalmic and to mucous membranes including intranasal, vaginal and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal, intranasal, epidermal and transdermal), ocular, oral or parenteral. Methods for ocular delivery can include topical administration (eye drops), subconjunctival, periocular or intravitreal injection or introduction by balloon catheter or ophthalmic inserts surgically placed in the conjunctival sac. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal or intramuscular injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be in the form of a single bolus dose, or may be, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders.

Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable.

Also, pharmaceutical compositions can contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds described herein above in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In making the compositions described herein, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.

In preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. about 40 mesh.

Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The compositions described herein can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the subject by employing procedures known in the art.

The active compound can be effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will usually be determined by a physician, according to the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual subject, the severity of the subject's symptoms, and the like.

For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound described herein. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition can be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid

preformulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of a compound described herein. The tablets or pills can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.

The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions can be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in can be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be breathed directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device can be attached to a face masks tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions can be administered orally or nasally from devices which deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.

The amount of compound or composition administered to a subject will vary depending upon what is being administered, the purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the state of the subject, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeutic applications, compositions can be administered to a subject already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications. Effective doses will depend on the disease condition being treated as well as by the judgment of the attending clinician depending upon factors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight and general condition of the subject, and the like.

The compositions administered to a subject can be in the form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterile filtered. Aqueous solutions can be packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compound preparations typically will be between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5 to 9 and most preferably from 7 to 8. It will be understood that use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers will result in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.

The therapeutic dosage of the compounds can vary according to, for example, the particular use for which the treatment is made, the manner of administration of the compound, the health and condition of the subject, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a compound described herein in a

pharmaceutical composition can vary depending upon a number of factors including dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of administration. For example, the compounds described herein can be provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% w/v of the compound for parenteral administration. Some typical dose ranges are from about 1 µg/kg to about 1 g/kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dose range is from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. The dosage is likely to depend on such variables as the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular subject, the relative biological efficacy of the compound selected, formulation of the excipient, and its route of administration. Effective doses can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems. UTILITY

METHODS OF PREPARATION

The compounds of the present invention may be synthesized by many methods available to those skilled in the art of organic chemistry. General synthetic schemes for preparing compounds of the present invention are described below. These schemes are illustrative and are not meant to limit the possible techniques one skilled in the art may use to prepare the compounds disclosed herein. Different methods to prepare the compounds of the present invention will be evident to those skilled in the art. Examples of compounds of the present invention prepared by methods described in the general schemes are given in the Examples section set out hereinafter. Preparation of homochiral examples may be carried out by techniques known to one skilled in the art. For example, homochiral compounds may be prepared by separation of racemic products or diastereomers by chiral phase preparative HPLC. Alternatively, the example compounds may be prepared by methods known to give enantiomerically or diastereomerically enriched products.

The reactions and techniques described in this section are performed in solvents appropriate to the reagents and materials employed and are suitable for the transformations being effected. Also, in the description of the synthetic methods given below, it is to be understood that all proposed reaction conditions, including choice of solvent, reaction atmosphere, reaction temperature, duration of the experiment and work up procedures, are chosen to be the conditions standard for that reaction, which should be readily recognized by one skilled in the art. It is understood by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the functionality present on various portions of the molecule must be compatible with the reagents and reactions proposed. Such restrictions to the substituents that are compatible with the reaction conditions will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, with alternatives required when incompatible substituents are present. This will sometimes require a judgment to modify the order of the synthetic steps or to select one particular process scheme over another in order to obtain a desired compound of the invention. It will also be recognized that another major consideration in the planning of any synthetic route in this field is the judicious choice of a protecting group used for protection of reactive functional groups present in the compounds described in this invention. An authoritative account describing the many alternatives to the trained practitioner is Wuts and Greene, Greene’s Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Fourth Edition, Wiley and Sons (2007).

Substituents shown in the schemes do not necessarily correspond to those used in the summary of the invention or in the claims. A method for preparing compounds 8 is shown in Scheme 1. An appropriately functionalized carbonyl compound 1 (which is commercially available, or can be synthesized using various methods known in the literature; see, for example: Eur. J. Med. Chem.2015, 90, 834; Science of Synthesis 2007, 31a, 1097; PCT Int. Appl.2014/138484; Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.2012, 22, 240; Eur. J. Med. Chem.2013, 69, 490; or PCT Int. Appl.

2013/178322) can be reacted with an appropriate thiol in the presence of an acid such as HCl or TiCl4 to provide a vinyl sulfide 2a, a thioketal 2b, or a mixture of 2a and 2b. Oxidation of sulfide 2a, thioketal 2b, or a mixture of 2a and 2b can be accomplished using a reagent such as m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to provide sulfone 3. A protected carbinol 4 (where EWG is an electron-withdrawing group, for example, a carboxylic acid ester or NO 2 , and PG is a suitable carbinol protecting group such as, for example, tert-butyldimethylsilyl) can be treated with a strong base such as lithium diisopropylamide or lithium

bis(trimethylsilyl)amide to form the corresponding anion, which can react with sulfone 3 to provide a protected carbinol 5. The protecting group can be removed using suitable conditions (for example, if PG is tert-butyldimethylsilyl, by treatment with HCl) to provide carbinol 6. The carbinol of 6 can be converted to a suitable leaving group LG of compound 7, such as methanesulfonate, for example by treatment with methanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine. Treatment of 7 with a base such as potassium tert-butoxide can provide a tricyclic compound 8. SCHEME 1

Alternatively, as shown in Scheme 2, a compound 9 (where LG is an appropriate leaving group such as Cl) can be deprotonated with a strong base such as lithium

diisopropylamide or lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide and reacted with sulfone 3 to directly provide the tricyclic compound 8 (see for example, J. Org. Chem.2010, 75, 3251-3259). SCHEME 2

Conversion of certain compounds 8 into certain amide compounds of the present invention is illustrated in Scheme 3. Compound 8a, where R can be, for example, methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl, or benzyl, can be converted to acid 10 using standard methods. For example, if R is methyl or ethyl, treatment with lithium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide in the presence of water can provide 10, or if R is tert-butyl, treatment with a strong acid such as HCl or trifluoroacetic acid can provide 10, or if R is benzyl, treatment with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium on carbon can provide 10. Acid 10 can then be converted to an amide 11 using methods well known in the literature, for example by treatment with an amine in the presence of a suitable base and a coupling reagent such as (benzotriazol-1- yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP), O-(7-azabenzotriazol- l-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU), benzotriazol-1-yl- oxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP), or a combination of 1- hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC). SCHEME 3

Methods for the preparation of certain amine compounds of the present invention are illustrated in Scheme 4. Acid 10 can be converted to an amine 13 using a variety of well- known methods, for example by treatment with diphenylphosphosphoryl azide in the presence of an alcohol such as tert-butanol or trimethylsilylethanol (known as the Curtius rearrangement, see for example J. Am. Chem. Soc.1972, 94, 6203), to provide the corresponding carbamate 12. Treatment of the carbamate under appropriate conditions, for example by treatment with a strong acid such as trifluoroacetic acid if R is tert-butyl or trimethylsilylethyl, can give amine 13. Alternatively, a compound 8b (compound 8 where EWG is nitro) could be reduced to amine 13 by treatment with, for example, HCl and indium (J. Org. Chem.2005, 70, 8140). SCHEME 4

Alternative methods for the preparation of certain amine compounds of the present invention are illustrated in Scheme 5. An ester 8a (R = alkyl) can be reduced to a primary carbinol 14 using any of a number of methods known in the literature, for example by treatment with a reducing agent such as lithium aluminum hydride. The hydroxy group of 14 can be converted to a suitable leaving group such as a methanesulfonate or p-toluenesulfonate by treatment with a base and the appropriate sulfonyl chloride, followed by reaction with ammonia or a primary or secondary amine HNR 8 R 9 to provide the amine 15. Alternatively, an acid 8a (R = H) can be converted to a ketone 16 using any of a number of methods known in the literature, for example by coupling with N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine in the presence of a suitable amide coupling reagent such as BOP or HATU to give the corresponding N,O- dimethylhydroxamide (known as a Weinreb amide), followed by treatment with an organometallic reagent such as an alkylmagnesium halide or an alkyllithium to provide 16. Treatment of the ketone with ammonia or a primary amine in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride can then provide the amine 17. SCHEME 5

Methods for the preparation of certain amine compounds of the present invention are illustrated in Scheme 6. A sulfone 3 can be treated with a vinylic organometallic compound such as vinylmagnesium bromide or a vinyllithium, optionally in the presence of a copper reagent such as copper(I) bromide or copper(I) iodide, to provide olefin 18 (see, for example, J. Organometallic Chem.2001, 624, 380; Tetrahedron 2000, 56, 7715; or J. Org. Chem. 2009, 74, 4188). The olefin can be converted to an epoxide 19, for example by treatment with an oxidizing reagent such as m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, or by conversion to a

bromohydrin, for example by treatment with a brominating agent such as N- bromosuccinimide in the presence of water, followed by treatment with a base such as potassium carbonate (see, for example, J. Org. Chem.1986, 51, 5447). Treatment of the epoxide with a suitable base such as methylmagnesium bromide or potassium tert-butoxide can provide cyclopropyl carbinol 20, cyclobutanol 21, or a mixture of 20 and 21 (see, for example, PCT Int. Appl.2010/068564). The carbinol 20 can be converted to an amine 22 using methods known in the literature, for example by conversion of the hydroxy to a leaving group such as a methanesulfonate by treatment with methanesulfonyl chloride and a base such as triethylamine, followed by treatment with an amine; or by oxidation of the carbinol to an aldehyde using a reagent such as pyridinium chlorochromate followed by treatment with an amine in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride. Likewise, the carbinol 21 can be converted to the amine 23 using similar methods. SCHEME 6

A variety of methods well known in the literature can be used for conversion of amines of the present invention to other compounds of the present invention. Some examples are shown in Scheme 7, starting from an amine 13 for illustrative purposes. An amine 13 can be treated with an acid anhydride (RC(=O))2O or an acid chloride RC(=O)Cl in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine to provide an amide 24. Alternatively, an amine 13 can be treated with an acid RC(=O)OH in the presence of a suitable base and a coupling reagent such as (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP), O-(7-azabenzotriazol- l-yl)-1, 1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU), benzotriazol-1-yl-oxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP), or a combination of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'- ethylcarbodiimide (EDC) to provide an amide 24. An amine 13 can also be treated with a sulfonyl chloride RSO2Cl in the presence of a suitable base to provide a sulfonamide 25. Amine 13 can also be treated with an isocyanate RN=C=O to provide a urea 26 (where R' is H), or with an aminocarbonyl chloride RN(R')C(=O)Cl to provide a urea 26. Alternatively, an amine 13 can be treated with phosgene or triphosgene to provide the intermediate N- chlorocarbonyl derivative, which can then be treated with an amine RN(R')H to provide a urea 26. An amine 13 can be treated with a sulfamyl chloride RN(R')SO2Cl to provide a sulfamide 27. Alternatively, an amine 13 can be treated with sulfuric diamide to provide a sulfamide 27 where R and R' are both H. An amine 13 can be treated with an appropriate substituted or unsubstituted alkyl halide, cycloalkyl halide, or arylalkyl halide RC(R')(H)X' where X' is Br, I or Cl, or with a related alkyl group containing another leaving group X' such as methanesulfonate or trifluoromethanesulfonate, in the presence of a suitable base, to provide an alkylated amine 28. Alternatively, an amine 13 can be treated with an aldehyde RCHO or a ketone RC(=O)R', in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium

cyanoborohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride, to provide an alkylated amine 28 (where R' is H if an aldehyde is used). An amine 13 can be treated with an aryl or heteroaryl iodide ArI, an aryl or heteroaryl bromide ArBr, an aryl or heteroaryl chloride ArCl, or an aryl or heteroaryl trifluoromethanesulfonate ArOS(=O) 2 CF 3 in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst to provide an arylamine 29 (a reaction commonly known as the Buchwald-Hartwig coupling; see, for example, Chem. Sci.2011, 2, 27; Acc. Chem. Res.1998, 31, 805; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2008, 47, 6338). SCHEME 7

Many additional methods known in the literature can be used to modify intermediates or compounds of the present invention, converting them into other intermediates or compounds of the present invention. For example, by way of illustration, Scheme 8 shows some methods which can provide access to intermediates through modification of compounds 8. Compound 29, wherein R 1 is a halide such as Cl, Br or I, can be transformed into compounds 30, where R 1' is a different substituent. Some examples, not intended to be limiting, are: (1) treatment with an aryl or alkenyl boronic acid or boronate ester in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst, commonly known as the Suzuki coupling (see, for example, Chem. Rev.1979, 95, 2457; J. Organometallic Chem.1999, 576, 147), to give 30 where R 1' can be aryl, heteroaryl or alkenyl (the latter of which can be further converted to the corresponding alkyl by catalytic reduction); (2) treatment with a zinc reagent such as zinc(II) cyanide or an alkyl- or cycloalkylzinc halide in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst, commonly known as the Negishi coupling (see, for example, Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions (2 nd edition), 2004, 815), to give 30 where R 1' can be, for example, alkyl, cycloalkyl or cyano; (3) treatment with an amine or amide in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst, commonly known as the Buchwald-Hartwig coupling (see, for example, Chem. Sci.2011, 2, 27; Acc. Chem. Res.1998, 31, 805; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2008, 47, 6338), to give 30 where R 1' can be, for example, dialkylamino; (4) treatment with an organomagnesium halide in the presence of a suitable iron catalyst (see, for example, Org. React.2014, 83, 1; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2002, 13856), to give 30 where R 1' can be, for example, methyl or trideuteromethyl; (5) treatment with a fluorinated alkyl halide in the presence of a copper catalyst (see, for example, Tetrahedron 1969, 25, 5921; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.2011, 50, 3793), to give 30 where R 1' can be, for example, trifluoromethyl, heptafluoropropyl, heptafluoroisopropyl, or the like; or (6) treatment with copper(I) halide to give 30 where R 1' is a different halide from R 1 in 29; or (7) treatment with palladium catalyst in the presence of a base such as KOH (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2006, 12810694) to yield a phenol which can be further derivatized for example with a substituted benzyl halide to give 30 where R 1' , for example, is OH or substituted or unsubstituted O-benzyl; or (8) treatment with an alkyllithium reagent to provide the corresponding aryllithium, followed by treatment with an aldehyde or ketone to give 30 where R 1' , for example, is a carbinol; or (9) treatment with a suitable reducing agent such as lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride in the presence of a catalyst such as a nickel catalyst to give 30 where R 1' is H. The same or similar methods can also be applied to a tricyclic 31 wherein R 3 is a halide such as Cl, Br or I to give the corresponding 32 where R 3' is a different group, as described above. SCHEME 8

Many other simple functional group manipulations, well known to those skilled in the art of organic chemistry, can be used to convert an intermediate or compound of the present invention to a different intermediate or compound of the present invention. Examples include those methods described in Schemes 7 and 8, as well as others, including but not limited to: reduction of an ester or acid to a carbinol by treatment with a reagent such as lithium aluminum hydride or lithium borohydride; conversion of an ester to a tertiary carbinol by treatment with an organometallic reagent such as an alkylmagnesium halide or an alkyllithium; conversion of a carbinol to a fluoride by treatment with a reagent such as dimethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST); conversion of a carbinol to an ester by treatment with an acyl chloride or an acyl anhydride; conversion of a carbinol to a phosphate by treatment with a suitable phosphorus reagent such as dibenzyl diisopropylphorphoramidite in the presence of 5-methyl-1H-tetrazole followed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide and subsequent reductive debenzylation; or alkylation on nitrogen by treatment with an olefin substituted with an electron-withdrawing group such as cyano or a carboxylate ester. Also, it will be appreciated by one skilled in the art of organic chemistry that various steps in a synthesis may be performed in an alternative sequence from that described in order to give a desired compound or compounds. Examples

The following examples illustrate the particular and preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Chemical abbreviations and symbols as well as scientific abbreviations and symbols have their usual and customary meanings unless otherwise specified. Additional abbreviations employed in the Examples and elsewhere in this application are defined below. Common Intermediates are generally useful for the preparation of more than one Example and are identified sequentially by the

Intermediate number and step in which they were prepared (e.g., Intermediate 1, Step A), or by the Intermediate number only where the compound is the title compound. Compounds of the Examples are identified by the Example number and step in which they were prepared (e.g., Example 1, Step A) if the compound is an intermediate, or by the Example number only where the compound is the title compound of the Example. In some instances alternative preparations of Intermediates or Examples are described. Frequently chemists skilled in the art of synthesis may devise alternative preparations which may be desirable based on one or more considerations such as shorter reaction time, less expensive starting materials, ease of operation or isolation, improved yield, suitability to catalysis, avoidance of toxic reagents, accessibility of specialized instrumentation, decreased number of linear steps, etc. The intent of describing alternative preparations is to further enable the preparation of the Examples of this invention. In some instances some functional groups in the outlined Examples and claims may be replaced by well-known bioisosteric replacements known in the art, for example, replacement of a carboxylic acid group with a tetrazole or a phosphate moiety. Starting materials and intermediates for which no preparation is explicitly shown are available commercially, are known in the literature, or may be prepared by analogy to similar compounds which are known in the literature.

Drying of organic solutions to remove residual water was done by allowing to stand over anhydrous sodium sulfate or anhydrous magnesium sulfate, followed by decantation or filtration. Solvent removal was performed by concentration under reduced pressure. Column chromatography was generally performed with pre-packed silica gel cartridges using a CombiFlash ® automated chromatography apparatus (Teledyne Isco), eluting with the solvent or solvent mixture indicated. Analytical and preparative high performance liquid

chromatography (HPLC) was generally performed using a reverse phase column of a size appropriate to the quantity of material being separated, generally eluting with a gradient of increasing concentration of methanol or acetonitrile in water, also containing 0.05% or 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid or 10 mM ammonium acetate, at a rate of elution suitable to the column size and separation to be achieved. Chiral super-critical fluid chromatographic (SFC) separation of enantiomers or diastereomers was performed using conditions described for the individual cases. Mass spectral data were obtained by liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (LCMS) using electrospray ionization.

Many Intermediates and Examples are homochiral (entirely or mostly a single enantiomer). If the absolute configuration at an asymmetric center of an Intermediate or Example is known, or that asymmetric center is derived from a precursor whose absolute configuration is known, this is explicitly shown in the structure of the Intermediate or Example. In some cases an Intermediate or Example is homochiral but the absolute configuration has not been proven at all asymmetric centers. In those cases, the

stereochemistry at the unknown asymmetric center is not explicitly shown, and a text notation below the structure will indicate that the compound is homochiral and that the compound was obtained from the specified peak eluting during chiral SFC separation. For example, the structure 94 shown below indicates that, while the material is homochiral, the absolute configuration at two asymmetric centers of the material, which was derived from the first- eluting peak during SFC separation, is not known, but the material has one of the absolute configurations shown in 94a, 94b, 94c, or 94d.

In some cases an Intermediate or Example is a mixture of diastereomers with one, some, or all of the asymmetric centers being either of undefined absolute configuration or a mixture of both absolute configurations. In those cases a text notation below the structure will indicate that the compound is a mixture of diastereomers.

ethyl 9b-((4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl)-7-iodo-2,3,3a,4,5,9b-hexahydro -1H- cyclopenta[a]naphthalene-3-carboxylate (four single enantiomers)

Step A: 4-((4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl)-7-iodo-1,2-dihydronaphthalene

A solution of 6-iodo-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (13.3 g, 48.9 mmol) and TiCl4 (1 M in DCM; 48.9 mL, 48.9 mmol) in THF (326 mL) in an ice-water bath was treated with a solution of 4-fluorobenzenethiol (6.3 mL, 58.7 mmol) and Et3N (13.6 mL, 98.0 mmol) in THF (25 mL) at a rate such that the temperature remained below 10 °C. The solution was stirred at rt for 60 min, treated with water (200 mL) and concentrated to remove the bulk of the organic solvent. The aqueous residue was extracted with diethyl ether (2 x 250 mL). The combined organic layers were dried and concentrated to provide crude (4-fluorophenyl)(6- iodo-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)sulfane (20 g) as a mixture with (6-iodo-1,2,3,4- tetrahydronaphthalene-1,1-diyl)bis((4-fluorophenyl)sulfane), which was used directly. HPLC t R 1.36 min (method B).

A solution of the mixture from the above reaction (18.7 g) in DCM (978 mL) was cooled on an ice-water bath and was treated portionwise with mCPBA (21.9 g, 98.0 mmol). The mixture was allowed to warm to rt and was stirred for 1 h, when LCMS showed consumption of the starting material and 4-((4-fluorophenyl)sulfinyl)-7-iodo-1,2- dihydronaphthalene as the major product. Additional mCPBA (11.0 g, 48.9 mmol) was added at rt. The mixture was stirred for 30 min, when LCMS showed very little sulfoxide (t R 1.00 min, method B). The mixture was washed twice with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, and the organic phase was dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by column

chromatography, eluting with EtOAc-hexanes (gradient from 0-10%). The resulting material was dissolved in EtOAc and washed twice with saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The organic phase was dried and concentrated to provide 4-((4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl)-7-iodo-1,2- dihydronaphthalene as a white amorphous solid (12.0 g, 59% yield over two steps). LCMS m/z 455.9 (M+H+MeCN) + , HPLC t R 1.09 min (method A). 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ 7.97 - 7.89 (m, 2H), 7.64 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.57 - 7.47 (m, 3H), 7.22 - 7.13 (m, 2H), 2.79 - 2.68 (m, 2H), 2.61 - 2.50 (m, 2H). 19 F NMR (471 MHz, CDCl 3 ) δ -102.7 (s, 1F). Alternative procedure:

A solution of 6-iodo-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (5.0 g, 18.4 mmol), 4- fluorobenzenethiol (4.1 mL, 38.6 mmol) and absolute ethanol (20 mL) was cooled on an ice- water bath and bubbled with HCl gas until saturation was reached (observed by the formation of a white precipitate). The mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stirred overnight. The mixture was dissolved in diethyl ether (250 mL) and washed sequentially with water (2 x 125 mL), 0.5 M aqueous Na 2 CO 3 (3 x 100 mL) and brine (100 mL). The organic layer was dried and concentrated to provide a solid (9.20 g) which was a mixture of (4-fluorophenyl)(6-iodo- 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)sulfane and (6-iodo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,1- diyl)bis((4-fluorophenyl)sulfane). The solid was dissolved in chloroform (150 mL) and cooled in an ice-water bath. A solution of mCPBA (35.0 g, 156 mmol) in DCM (200 mL) was washed with brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and the filter cake was washed with DCM (50 mL). The combined filtrates were added dropwise in portions to the chloroform solution of the mixture of (4-fluorophenyl)(6-iodo-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)sulfane and (6-iodo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,1-diyl)bis((4-fluoro phenyl)sulfane) until the reaction was completed as judged by LCMS (175 mL of the mCPBA solution was needed). The mixture was cooled in an ice bath, filtered to remove the insoluble material, and the filtrate was stirred with 10% aqueous Na 2 S 2 O 3 (120 mL) for 5 min. The organic phase was separated, washed sequentially with 10% aqueous Na2S2O3 (2 x 120 mL), 10% aqueous Na 2 CO 3 (3 x 200 mL) and brine (150 mL), dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with EtOAc-hexanes (gradient from 0-20%) to give 4-((4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl)-7-iodo-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (5.3 g, 70% yield) as a white amorphous solid. Step B: ethyl 9b-((4-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl)-7-iodo-2,3,3a,4,5,9b-hexahydro -1H- cyclopenta[a]naphthalene-3-carboxylate (four single enantiomers)

A solution of ethyl 4-chlorobutanoate (4.9 mL, 35 mmol) and 4-((4- fluorophenyl)sulfonyl)-7-iodo-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (4.8 g, 12.0 mmol) in THF (120 mL) was cooled to -78 °C and treated dropwise with LDA (1.0 M in THF; 35 mL, 35 mmol). The mixture was stirred at -78 °C for 45 min, then was treated with saturated aqueous NH 4 Cl. The mixture was warmed to rt, diluted with EtOAc and washed with saturated aqueous NH4Cl.

Inverse agonist activity of potential ligands to RORγ was measured by inhibition of luminescence in a Gal4-luciferase reporter assay in Jurkat cells.

Jurkat cells stably over-expressing the RORγ receptor, Jurkat pEx/Gal/hRORγ CLBD/HYG pG5luc/blast, were plated at a concentration of 10,000 cells/well in a 384-well solid white cell culture plate (Perkin Elmer #6007899) in assay buffer RPMI 1640 (Gibco 11875-0851L ) containing 0.1% BSA, 100X HEPES (Gibco 15360-080), 100 mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco 11360-040), 50 mg/mL Hygromycin B (Invitrogen 10687-010) and 10mg/mL blasticidin (Invitrogen R210-01).100 nL of test compound in a 3-fold serial dilution, with final concentrations ranging from 40 μM to 0.67 nM, were added to the cells which were then incubated overnight.

The following day, cells were lysed with 10 μL of Steady-Glo Luciferase Assay System (Promega Cat. No. EZ550), and analyzed immediately. IC 50 values were determined. The IC50 value is defined as the concentration of test compound needed to reduce luciferase activity by 50% and is calculated using the four parameter logistic equation to fit the normalized data. IC50 values for compounds of the invention in the RORγ Gal4 reporter assay are provided below.
