Abstract

The present disclosure relates to thiazole- or diathiazole-substituted aryl and heteroaryl compounds (I), pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and methods of using them, including treatment of disorders or disease related to regulation of the Vps34/PI3K III signaling pathway.

Core Innovation

The invention relates to a compound of Formula I in which the structural definition is governed by variables R1, L, Y1, and R2. R1 is defined as a C6-C14 aryl, 5- to 10-membered heteroaryl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl, or 4- to 10-membered heterocycloalkyl that is unsubstituted or substituted with one or more selected substituents, and L is —S(O)2—, —O—, —C(O)—, or —CH2—, while Y1 is CH or N. R2 is defined as a 5-membered heteroaryl or a 5-membered heterocycloalkyl that is unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents from a specified group.

The compounds include pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The described embodiments include thiazole- or di(thiazole)-substituted aryl/heteroaryl Vps34 (PI3K III) pathway inhibitor compounds according to Formula I, and morpholine and a phenylsulfonyl group linked to an aryl-thiadiazole or aryl-thiazole framework.

Examples include 5-(3-morpholino-5-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-amine and 5-(6-morpholino-4-(phenylsulfonyl)pyridin-2-yl)thiazol-2-amine and related variants. The compounds are presented as inhibitors of the Vps34/PI3K III signaling pathway.

Claims Coverage

The provided claim set includes one explicitly independent claim defining Formula I compounds, with additional dependent claims narrowing structural variables and including therapeutic method coverage linked to regulation of the Vps34/PI3K III signaling pathway. In total, the consolidated coverage reflects one broad structural Formula I claim family plus additional selected compound group claims.

Formula I compound with defined R1, L, Y1, and R2 substituent ranges

A compound of Formula I wherein R1 is C6-C14 aryl, 5- to 10-membered heteroaryl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl, or 4- to 10-membered heterocycloalkyl, each unsubstituted or substituted with one or more selected substituents; L is —S(O)2—, —O—, —C(O)—, or —CH2—; Y1 is CH or N; and R2 is a 5-membered heteroaryl or a 5-membered heterocycloalkyl, each unsubstituted or substituted with one or more selected substituents, including a further limitation when L is —S(O)2— and Y1 is N, and including a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Selected depicted compound group for pharmaceutically acceptable salts

A compound selected from a group consisting of depicted compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Therapeutic treatment linked to regulation of Vps34/PI3K III signaling pathway

A method for treating a disease or medical condition linked to regulation of the Vps34/PI3K III signaling pathway by administering to a subject an effective amount of at least one compound of claim 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Across the provided claims, the inventive scope is centered on Formula I compounds with defined selectable substituent frameworks for R1, L, Y1, and R2, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Additional coverage is provided by selected depicted compound groups and therapeutic methods directed to diseases or medical conditions associated with regulation of the Vps34/PI3K III signaling pathway.
