Disclosed herein are compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, which modulate TYK2. Also disclosed herein is the therapeutic use of such compounds, for example, in treating and/or ameliorating a TYK2 mediated inflammatory syndrome, disorder, and/or disease.

Background

Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is a member of the Janus Kinase (JAK) family, which consists of non-receptor tyrosine kinases essential for type I and type II cell-surface cytokine receptors signaling. There are four JAK family members: JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2. Different cytokine receptor families utilize specific JAK isoforms for their signal transduction. Phosphorylation of a JAK when a cytokine binds to its cognate receptor leads to phosphorylation of other intracellular molecules that eventually lead to gene transcription (O’Shea, J. J. et al. Annu. Rev. Med. 2015, 66, 311-328). Evidence exists that selective inhibitors of TYK2 dependent signaling pathways (e.g., interleukin-12 and/or interleukin-23) would be efficacious for the treatment of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis (Ps), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), type 1 diabetes (T1D), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), Crohn’s disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), multiple sclerosis (MS), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) (Shaw, M. H. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 2003, 100, 11594-9; Lazear, H. M. et al. Immunity 2015, 43, 15-28; Karaghiosoff, M. et al. Immunity 2000, 13, 549-560; Dendrou, C.A. et al. Sci. Transl. Med. 2016, 8, 363ral49; Schwartz, M. et al., Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2017, 16, 843-862; Teng, W. L. Nature Medicine 2015, 21,719-729; Papp, K. et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2018, 379; 1313-1321 ; Psarras, A. et al. Rheumatology 2017, 56 (10), 1662-1675).

All the JAK family members share a high degree of homology between their active sites in the kinase catalytic domain (called Janus Homology Domain 1 or JH1); thus it would be challenging to obtain selectivity for TYK2 over the other JAK family members with ATP- competitive small molecule inhibitors. However, the JAK family also has a pseudokinase domain (called Janus Homology Domain 2 or JH2). The TYK2 pseudokinase domain, despite its lack of intrinsic kinase activity, has been shown to be important in regulating TYK2 kinase activity (Min, X. et al., J. Biol. Chem. 2015, 290, 27261-27270; Lupardus, P.J. et al., PNAS, 2014, 111 (22) 8025-8030. Also, there are several coding SNPs in this region that regulate TYK2 kinase activity and have been associated with multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases Dendrou, C.A. et al. Sci. Transl. Med. 2016, 8, 363ral49, Li, Z et al. PLoS ONE 2020, 15(1): e0225289; Boisson-Dupuis S. et al. Sci. Immunol. 2018. 3, eaau8714). Given the ongoing need to treat the numerous autoimmune and inflammatory diseases mentioned above, there is an ongoing need for selective allosteric TYK2 inhibitors that bind to the JH2 domain. These inhibitors would specifically block signaling downstream from IL-12, IL-23, and Type 1 Interferon receptors that use TYK2 for signal transduction while sparing signaling from cytokine receptors that use the other JAK family members. Accordingly, specifically targeting TYK2 with a small molecule inhibitor as described herein may provide an opportunity to avoid certain adverse effects observed with certain JAK inhibitors (Gadina, M. etal Rheumatology, 2019, 58, i4— i16), such as the pan- JAK inhibitor Tofacitinib (Xeljanz®), which may have dose-limiting and systemically-mediated adverse events.

Where the compounds of Formula I disclosed herein have at least one stereo center, they may accordingly exist as enantiomers or diastereomers. It is to be understood that all such isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.

“Diastereoisomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror images of each other.

“Enantiomers” are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A “racemic” mixture is a 1 : 1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers. A “scalemic” mixture of enantiomers is mixture of enantiomers at a ratio other than 1 :1. Where the processes for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention give rise to mixture of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared in racemic form, a scalemic mixture, or individual enantiomers may be prepared either by enantiospecific synthesis or by resolution. The compounds may, for example, be resolved into their component enantiomers by standard techniques, such as the formation of diastereomeric pairs by salt formation with an optically active acid, such as (-)-di-p-toluoyl-D-tartaric acid and/or (+)-di-p- toluoyl-L-tartaric acid followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base. The compounds may also be resolved by formation of diastereomeric esters or amides, followed by chromatographic separation and removal of the chiral auxiliary. Alternatively, the compounds may be resolved using a chiral column vial HPLC or SFC. In some instances retainers of compounds may exist which are observable by ¹ H NMR leading to complex multiplets and peak integration in the ¹ H NMR spectrum.

The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog R-S system. Chiral centers, of which the absolute configurations are known, are labelled by prefixes R and S, assigned by the standard sequence-rule procedure, and preceded when necessary by the appropriate locants (Pure & Appl. Chem. 45, 1976, 11-30). Certain examples contain chemical structures that are depicted or labelled as an (*R) or (*S). When (*R) or (*S) is used in the name of a compound or in the chemical representation of the compound, it is intended to convey that the compound is a pure single isomer at that stereocenter; however, absolute configuration of that stereocenter has not been established. Thus, a compound designated as (*R) refers to a compound that is a pure single isomer at that stereocenter with an absolute configuration of either (R) or (S), and a compound designated as (*S) refers to a compound that is a pure single isomer at that stereocenter with an absolute configuration of either (R) or (S). For example, (*R)- N-( 1 -(4-(Difluoromethyl)-6-(3 -methoxy tetrahy drofuran-3 -yl)pyridine-2-yl)-3-methyl- 1H- pyrazol o[4,3 -c]pyridine-6-yl)acetamide:

refers to a compound that is:

Pseudoasymmetric stereogenic centers are treated in the same way as chiral centers, but are given lower-case symbols, r or 5 (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed Engl. 1982, 21, 567-583).

During any of the processes for preparation of the compounds disclosed herein, it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J.F.W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973; and T.W. Greene & P.G.M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis. John Wiley & Sons, 1991. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known from the art.

Furthermore, it is intended that within the scope of the present invention, any element, in particular when mentioned in relation to a compound of Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, shall comprise all isotopes and isotopic mixtures of said element, either naturally occurring or synthetically produced, either with natural abundance or in an isotopically enriched form. For example, a reference to hydrogen includes within its scope ¹ H, ² H (i.e., deuterium or D), and ³ H (i.e., tritium or T). In some embodiments, the compounds described herein include a ² H (i.e., deuterium) isotope. By way of example, the group denoted -C _(1-6) alkyl includes not only -CH ₃ , but also CD ₃ ; not only CH ₂ CH ₃ , but also CD ₂ CD ₃ , etc. . Similarly, references to carbon and oxygen include within their scope respectively ¹² C, ¹³ C and ¹⁴ C and ¹⁵ O and ¹⁶ O and ¹⁷ O and ¹⁸ O. The isotopes may be radioactive or non-radioactive. Radiolabelled compounds of Formula I may include a radioactive isotope selected from the group comprising 3H, ¹¹ C, ¹⁸ F, ³⁵ S, ¹²² I, ¹²³ I, ¹²⁵ I, ¹³¹ I, ⁷⁵ Br, ⁷⁶ Br, ⁷⁷ Br and ⁸² Br. Preferably, the radioactive isotope is selected from the group of ³ H, ¹¹ C and ¹⁸ F.

IN VITRO BIOLOGICAL ASSAYS AND DATA

Probe Displacement Assay

The probe displacement assay is conducted as follows: In a 384-well plate, test compound along with recombinantly expressed His-tagged protein corresponding to amino acids 556-871 of human TYK2 (sequence shown below) at 5 nM, 33 nM probe (BB, preparation described below) and 0.33 mg/mL Yttrium oxide (YOx) His-capture SPA beads (PerkinElmer, RPNQ0276) in IX PBS containing 10 mM MgCl ₂ , 0.1 mg/mL BSA, 0.1 mM TCEP, 0.005% Tween-20, and 1% DMSO (final concentration) were incubated for 10 hours at room temperature. The amount of radiolabeled probe bound to TYK2 was then quantified using a ViewLux Microplate Imager, and the fraction bound by the test compound calculated by comparison to wells containing scale references for 0% and 100% probe displacement. The IC ₅₀ value is defined as the concentration of test compound required to inhibit radiolabeled probe binding by 50%.

The radiolabeled probe (BB) mentioned above was prepared by treating (R)-N-(1-(3-(8- methyl-5-(methylamino)-8H-imidazo[4,5-d]thiazolo[5,4-b]pyrid in-2-yl)phenyl)ethyl)-2- (methylsulfonyl)benzamide (AA) with tritium (1.0 equiv) and Crabtree’s catalyst (CAS# 64536- 78-3, 0.6 equiv) in DCM (0.005M) as shown below.

Protein sequence of recombinant His-tagged Tyk2 (556-871):

Human PBMC IL-23 stimulation assay Interleukin 23 exerts its effects in the human peripheral blood monocytic cells (PBMCs) by interacting with its receptor and signaling through the JAK2/TYK2-STAT4 pathway. Upon receptor activation JAK2/TYK2 are auto-phosphorylated. This initiates a downstream phosphorylation of STAT4 (pSTAT4). Intracellular levels of pSTAT4 are measured using the AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ p-STAT4 (Tyr693) Kit from Perkin Elmer. The time-resolved fluorescence signal generated by the assay is acquired on a fluorescent plate reader. As cells are exposed to increasing concentrations of each test compound, the percentage of IL-23 -dependent pSTAT4 inhibition is determined at each concentration. Therefore, this assay evaluates the test compound effect elicited by Tyk2 inhibition.

The assay is performed as follows: Ciyopreserved human PBMCs (BioSpecialty) are thawed, washed and resuspended in complete growth media (RPMI-1640 containing 10% FBS, 1% Pen/Strep, 1% Na Pyruvate, 55uM b-ME). Human T-Activator CD3/CD28 Dynabeads (Thermo Scientific, 11161D) are washed and resuspended in complete growth media supplemented with 30U/ml of IL-2 (R&D Systems, 202- IL). The PBMC cells and Dynabeads are then mixed together in a T75 flask for 5 days at 37 °C, 5% CO ₂ , with a final bed-to-cell ratio of 1 :2, and a final cell density of 0.6x10 ⁶ cells/ml at 50ml total volume. After 5 days of culture, the Dynabeads are removed and the cells are resuspended in RPMI-1640 containing 0.1% BSA to perform serum/cytokine starvation for 4 hours (kept in T75 flask at 37°C, 5% CO ₂ ). Upon completion of starvation, cells are resuspended in HBSS containing 0.1% BSA at 2x10 ⁶ cells/ml, and seeded at 40,000cells/well in PerkinElmer OptiPlate-384 pre-spotted with 72 nL of compounds. The assay plate is incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C, 5% CO ₂ . IL-23 is resuspended in HBSS containing 0.1% BSA and is added to the assay plate at 4μl/well, yielding a dosage of EC ₉₀ determined empirically per donor, except for the low control wells which receive only HBSS containing 0.1% BSA. Assay plate is incubated for additional 30 minutes at 37°C, 5% CO ₂ . 5X lysis buffer provided by the AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ p-STAT4 (Tyr693) kit is added to the plate and incubated for 20 minutes on plate shaker at ~350 RPM. Per instructions of the AlphaLISA kit, the acceptor and donor mix are prepared and added to the assay plate. After 2 h of incubation at room temperature, the assay plate is read on fluorescent plate readers using AlphaLISA settings. The fluorescent signal is plotted against the compound concentration and the data is fitted to 4-parameters logistical fit model to yield IC ₅₀ of the compound. The assay is accepted based on the performance of the reference compound, Tofacitinib Citrate (Sigma- Aldrich; Catalog No. PZ0017), of the expected IC ₅₀ value of O.24μM. The IC ₅₀ will fall within a 3-fold window of the value reported above.

Human PBMC IL-12 stimulation assay

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) exerts its effects in the human peripheral blood monocytic cells (PBMCs) by interacting with its receptor and signaling through the JAK2/TYK2-STAT4 pathway. Upon receptor activation, JAK2/TYK2 are auto-phosphorylated. This initiates a downstream phosphorylation of STAT4 (pSTAT4). Intracellular levels of pSTAT4 are measured using the AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ p-STAT4 (Tyr693) Kit from PE. The time-resolved fluorescence signal generated by the assay is acquired on a fluorescent plate reader. As cells are exposed to increasing concentrations of each test compound, the percentage of IL-12-dependent pSTAT4 inhibition is determined at each concentration. Therefore, this assay evaluates the test compound effect elicited by Tyk2 inhibition.

The assay is performed as follows: Cryopreserved human PBMCs (BioSpecialty) are thawed, washed and resuspended in complete growth media (RPMI-1640 containing 10% FBS, 1% Pen/Strep, 1% Na Pyruvate) containing 10μ g/ml of anti-CD28 (Biolegend #302934). Cells are plated at a final volume of 15 mL, 2.0x10 ⁶ cells/ml in petri dish pre-coated with anti-CD3 (Biolegend #300332), and incubated overnight at 37 °C, 5% CO ₂ . After overnight incubation, the cells are resuspended in HBSS containing 0.1% BSA at 2x10 ⁶ cells/ml and seeded at 40,000 cells/well in PerkinElmer OptiPlate-384 pre-spotted with 72 nL of compounds. The assay plate is incubated for 30 minutes at 37 °C, 5% CO ₂ . IL-12 (R&D Systems, #219-IL) is resuspended in HBSS containing 0.1% BSA and is added to the assay plate at 4μ l/well, yielding a dosage of EC ₉ 0 determined empirically per donor, except for the low control wells which receive only HBSS containing 0.1% BSA. The assay plate is incubated for additional 30 minutes at 37 °C, 5% CO ₂ . 5X lysis buffer provided by the AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ p-STAT4 (Tyr693) kit is added to the plate and it is incubated for 20 minutes on plate shaker at ~350 RPM. Per instructions of the AlphaLISA kit, the acceptor and donor mix are prepared and added to the assay plate. After 2 h of incubation at room temperature, the assay plate is read on fluorescent plate readers using AlphaLISA settings. The fluorescent signal is plotted against the compound concentration and the data is fitted to 4- parameters logistical fit model to yield IC ₅₀ of the compound. The assay is accepted based on the performance of the reference compound, Tofacitinib Citrate (Sigma-Aldrich; Catalog No.

PZ0017), of the expected IC ₅₀ value of 2.06 pM. The IC ₅₀ will fall within a 3-fold window of the value reported above.
