Summary for Patent: 8,476,284
Title:Inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase
Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds, including compounds having the Formula (A) ##STR00001## where A, R1, R2, R3, and R4 are as defined in the specification, that form covalent bonds with Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk). Also described are irreversible inhibitors of Btk. Methods for the preparation of the compounds are disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions that include the compounds. Methods of using the Btk inhibitors are disclosed, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, for the treatment of autoimmune diseases or conditions, heteroimmune diseases or conditions, cancer, including lymphoma, and inflammatory diseases or conditions.

Patent Claims: 1. A method for treating a lymphoma in a subject comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (A): ##STR00057## wherein A is N; R.sub.1 is phenyl-O-aryl or phenyl-S-aryl; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently selected from H, lower alkyl and substituted lower alkyl; R.sub.4 is L.sub.3-X-L.sub.4-G, wherein, L.sub.3 is optional, and when present is a bond, optionally substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, optionally substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, optionally substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl; X is optional, and when present is a bond, O, --C(.dbd.O), S, --S(.dbd.O), --S(.dbd.O).sub.2, --NH, --NR.sub.9, --NHC(O), --C(O)NH, --NR.sub.9C(O), --C(O)NR.sub.9, --S(.dbd.O).sub.2NH, --NHS(.dbd.O).sub.2, --S(.dbd.O).sub.2NR.sub.9--, --NR.sub.9S(.dbd.O).sub.2, --OC(O)NH--, --NHC(O)O--, --OC(O)NR.sub.9--, --NR.sub.9C(O)O--, --CH.dbd.NO--, --ON.dbd.CH--, --NR.sub.10C(O)NR.sub.10--, heteroaryl, aryl, --NR.sub.10C(.dbd.NR.sub.11)NR.sub.10--, --NR.sub.10C(.dbd.NR.sub.11)--, --C(.dbd.NR.sub.11)NR.sub.10--, --OC(.dbd.NR.sub.11)--, or --C(.dbd.NR.sub.11)O--; L.sub.4 is optional, and when present is a bond, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle; or L.sub.3, X and L.sub.4 taken together form a nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring; G is ##STR00058## wherein, R.sub.6, R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are each independently H; each R.sub.9 is independently selected from among H, substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl, and substituted or unsubstituted lower cycloalkyl; each R.sub.10 is independently H, substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl, or substituted or unsubstituted lower cycloalkyl; or two R.sub.10 groups can together form a 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-membered heterocyclic ring; or R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 can together form a 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-membered heterocyclic ring; or each R.sub.11 is independently selected from H, --S(.dbd.O).sub.2R.sub.8, --S(.dbd.O).sub.2NH.sub.2, --C(O)R.sub.8, --CN, --NO.sub.2, heteroaryl, or heteroalkyl; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula (A) is administered orally.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula (A) bonds to a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) irreversibly.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula (A) forms a covalent bond to Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk).

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the compound of Formula (A) bonds to the cysteine residue of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula (A) has the structure of Formula (D) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: ##STR00059## wherein: L.sub.a is O or S; Ar is an unsubstituted phenyl; Y is a 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-membered cycloalkyl ring, or Y is azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, or azepanyl; Z is C(.dbd.O), OC(.dbd.O), NHC(.dbd.O), S(.dbd.O).sub.x, or NHS(.dbd.O).sub.x, where x is 2; R.sub.6, R.sub.7, and R.sub.8 are each independently H; or R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 taken together form a bond and R.sub.6 is H.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein L.sub.a is O.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein Z is C(.dbd.O), NHC(.dbd.O), or S(.dbd.O).sub.2.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein R.sub.6, R.sub.7, and R.sub.8 are each independently H.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound of Formula (A) has a structure: ##STR00060## or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

11. A method for treating a lymphoma in a subject comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound having the structure ##STR00061##
