Abstract

A compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, useful in therapy, in particular in the treatment of a viral infection or a disease linked to impaired or abnormal autophagy.

Core Innovation

The invention relates to compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, with structural variables including m, ring A, X/Y/Z selections, and multiple substituent groups with defined allowable atom and functional group options. Ring A is phenyl or 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl containing one or more heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.

The document discloses compounds within a pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-4-amine scaffold, including named structural embodiments Ia–Im and moieties II/IIa that support the structural scope of formula (I). The disclosed examples include indazol-5-yl substitution patterns such as aminomethyl-benzene sulfonamide and methanesulfonamide substituents, as well as benzyl and heteroaryl/alkylamine substituents.

The invention is directed to using the compounds of formula (I) as inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase IIIβ (PI4KIIIβ) and as inhibitors of picornavirus replication and picornaviral cytopathogenic effects. A further use described in the document is modulation of impaired or abnormal autophagy for treating viral infections, including non-enveloped single-stranded (+) RNA viruses, especially picornaviruses.

Claims Coverage

The provided claim content includes one independent claim defining a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with extensive structural definitions and related method-of-use and composition coverage. The inventive features center on the formula (I) scaffold, defined ring A and X/Y/Z selections, broad R-group patterning, and pharmaceutical composition and treatment claims. Six inventive features are identified.

Formula (I) compound with defined m and ring A

A compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein m is 0, 1, or 2, and ring A is phenyl, 5-membered heteroaryl, or 6-membered heteroaryl having one or more heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.

X, Y, Z structural selections

The compound is defined with X being CH or N; Y is N and Z is C, or Y is C and Z is N.

Multisubstituent R1–R16 patterning

The compound includes substituents R1 through R16 with specified options, including halogen, C1-C6 alkyl optionally substituted by halogen, carbonyl-containing groups, amide/amine-related groups, ether OR2, sulfone S(O)2R3, and hydrogen or C1-C6 alkyl for several positions.

Pharmaceutical composition with excipient

A pharmaceutical composition includes a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and a compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Treating viral infection in a mammal

A method for treating a viral infection in a mammal includes administering an effective amount of the compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Inhibiting phosphatidylinositol kinase activity

A method of inhibiting phosphatidylinositol kinase activity in a mammal includes administering an effective amount of the compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Overall, the claim coverage focuses on a structurally defined formula (I) scaffold with constrained ring A selection, defined X/Y/Z selections, extensive R1–R16 substitution options, and coverage extending to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating viral infection in a mammal and inhibiting phosphatidylinositol kinase activity.
