Abstract

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising 3-aminoisoxazolopyridine compounds of the Formula I having IDO1 and/or TDO inhibitory activity are described, where W is CR1, N or N-oxide; X is CR2, N or N-oxide; Y is CR3, N or N-oxide; Z is CR4, N or N-oxide; and at least one of W, X, Y, and Z is N or N-oxide; and R9 and R10 are as defined. Also described are methods of using such compounds in the treatment of various conditions, such as cancer.

Core Innovation

The disclosure describes 6-chloro-5-fluoroisoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof within the structural framework of isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine and closely related substituted isoxazolo analogs. Representative characterization is provided for substituted members of this family, including halogenated, methyl- and phenyl-substituted variants and additional aromatic or heteroaryl substituted members.

The material also describes substituted isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine derivatives and related intermediates, including 6-(2-Thienyl)isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine, (1-Methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine, and ether/alkylation analogs such as 6-(3-(Dimethylamino)propoxy)isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine, 6-(2-(Dimethylamino)ethoxy)isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine, and 6-(2-Morpholinoethoxy)isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine.

The disclosure further includes related isoxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-3-amine and isoxazolo[5,4-b]quinolin-3-amine members, and variants such as carboxylate and diamine derivatives explicitly enumerated in the compound lists. The invention also presents 3-aminoisoxazolopyridine compounds of Formula I as inhibitors of IDO1 and/or TDO, and states that the compounds are used to treat cancer and to modulate tumor-related immunity.

Claims Coverage

The provided claim set contains three independent claims. Across these claims, the coverage is defined by one specific compound and two overlapping selected-compound lists of substituted isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine(-type) structures, each with optional pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

6-chloro-5-fluoroisoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt

The claim covers 6-chloro-5-fluoroisoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine, including any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Selected substituted isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine and related variants with pharmaceutically acceptable salts

The claim covers a compound selected from a specified list of substituted isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine structures and related carboxylate/diamine variants, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Selected substituted isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine(-type) structures with pharmaceutically acceptable salts

The claim covers a compound selected from a specified list of substituted isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine structures and related carboxylate/diamine variants, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Across the independent claims, the inventive coverage is the selection of explicitly enumerated substituted isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridin-3-amine(-type) compounds, including specific halogenated examples, with optional pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms.
