FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] This invention is directed to novel triazolones, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, useful in the treatment of prostate, breast, colon, pancreatic, human chronic lymphocytic leukemia, melanoma and other cancers. The invention disclosed herein enables methods of treating prostate, breast, ovarian, liver, kidney, colon, pancreatic, human chronic lymphocytic leukemia, melanoma and other cancers comprising administration of selective PPARα antagonists. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are also useful in the treatment of viral infections, such as HCV infections and HIV infections.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] While tremendous strides have been made in the treatment of various cancers, in many cases, cancer treatment continues to be a matter of administering one or more anti-cancer agents that are marginally less chemotoxic to healthy cells than they are to the cancer in question. In recognition of this problem, there has been substantial research effort aimed at identifying, understanding and taking advantage of phenotypical behavior peculiar to certain cancer cells. It has long been observed that most cancer cell types generate energy for cellular processes through aerobic glycolysis rather than through oxidative phosphorylation as found in the normal cell. This process, which became known as the "Warburg effect", is highly energy inefficient and requires cancer cell mitochondria to resort to glucose fermentation to make up the energy deficit. Since perhaps the mid-1990's researchers have sought to identify methods of treating cancer that take advantage of the "Warburg effect" and associated aspects of cancer cell mitochondrial metabolism. See, for example, Wang, et al., Small mitochondrial-targeting molecules as anti-cancer agents, Mol. Aspects Med. 2010 February; 31(1): 75-92.
[0003] Samudio, et al., J. Clin. Invest. 120: 142-156 (2010), disclosed that in certain leukemia cell lines "mitochondrial uncoupling - the continuing reduction of oxygen without ATP synthesis - has recently been shown in leukemic cells to circumvent the ability of oxygen to inhibit glycolysis, and may promote the metabolic preference for glycolysis by shifting from pyruvate oxidation to fatty acid oxidation (FAO)." Samudio, et. al., also provided data indicating that inhibition of FAO could sensitize human leukemia cells to apoptosis, and further that inhibition of FAO may prove useful in the treatment of leukemia.
[0004] PPARα is known to be an important regulator of fatty acid oxidation. See Pyper, et al., Nucl. Recept. Signal. 8:e002., e002 (2010). It has been reported that the expression of the PPARα gene can be higher in human chronic lymphocyte leukemia (CLL) making this cancer type sensitive to therapies aimed at reducing FAO (Samudio et al., J. Clin. Invest. 120:142-156 (2010)). This effect may generalize to several cancer types. For example, ovarian cancer and breast cancer (Linher-Melville et al., 2011, BMC, 4;11:56), thrive in an adipose rich environment and as a result can be negatively impacted by targeted therapies that reduce fatty acid metabolism (Nieman et al., 2011, Nat Med. 2011 Oct 30;17(11):1498-503). Still other cancers that rely on FAO include prostate cancer (Liu, Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis. 2006; 9(3):230-4), colon cancer (Holla et al., 2011, JCB 286(34):30003-30009), pancreatic cancer (Khasawneh et al., 2009, PNAS 106(9):3354-3359) and lung cancer (Zaugg et al., 2011, Genes and Development, 25:1041-1051).
[0005] GW6471 (Xu et al., Nature 415, 813-817 (2002) and MK-866 (Kehrer et al., Biochem. J. 356, 899-906 (2001) have been identified as antagonists of PPARα. Moreover, MK-866, whose primary activity is as an inhibitor of FLAP, has been disclosed to induce apoptosis in a human chronic lymphocytic leukemia cell line in a FLAP-independent manner; and has also been disclosed to induce apoptosis in prostate and glioblastoma cell lines.
[0006] It is our belief that in cancers that rely heavily on FAO, antagonism of PPARα by small molecules provides a panoply of anti-cancer treatment opportunities to: reduce or halt proliferation; decrease or reverse immunosupression; enhance apoptosis; and increase susceptibility of cancerous cells to other anti-cancer agents. These cancers include prostate, breast, colon and pancreatic cancer, among others.
[0007] Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is model of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) disease. In 2008, Ito et al. disclosed evidence linking the loss of promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene expression with favorable outcomes in CML (Nature, 2008 June 19; 453 (7198) 1072-1078). More recently Ito et al. disclosed that in the PML pathway, loss of PPARδ and accompanying inhibition of mitochondrial FAO induced loss of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance (Nature Medicine, doi:10.1038/nm.2882). Moreover, Carracedo et al. disclosed that whereas PML expression allowed luminal filling in 3D basement membrane breast cancer, the effect was reversed by inhibition of FAO (J. Clin. Invest. 2012;122(9):3088-3100). This and other evidence supports our view that inhibition of fatty acid oxidation, via antagonism of PPAR's (including PPARα), will prove effective in inhibiting asymmetric leukemia stem cell differentiation, and therefore, prove effective in preventing the onset of and/or recurrence of acute and chronic myeloid leukemia, as well as other cancers.
[0008] PPARα antagonists have also been shown to inhibit HCV replication and thereby prove useful in the treatment of HCV infection (Rakic et al., Chem. & Biol. 13, 23-30 (January 2006)). In some embodiments, PPAR modulators have been shown to inhibit viral transcription and replication and thereby prove useful in the treatment of viral diseases (Capeau et al., PPAR Research Volume 2009, Article ID 393408, 2 pages). In some embodiments, PPARα antagonists are useful in the treatment of HIV infection. PPARα antagonists have also been disclosed to be useful in the treatment of metabolic disorders (WO2012/027482A2). Metabolic disorders include, but are not limited to diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, impaired glucose tolerance, syndrome X, and cardiovascular disease.

DEFINITIONS
[0043] The term "patient" includes mammals such as mice, rats, cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits, goats, horses, monkeys, dogs, cats, and humans.
[0045] The term "alkyl" refers to a saturated hydrocarbon chain that may be a straight chain or branched chain, containing the indicated number of carbon atoms. For example, C1-6alkyl indicates that the group may have from 1 to 6 (inclusive) carbon atoms in it. Any atom can be optionally substituted, e.g., by one or more substitutents. Examples of alkyl groups include without limitation methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl.
[0046] The term "haloalkyl" refers to an alkyl group, in which at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by halo. In some embodiments, more than one hydrogen atom (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14) are replaced by halo. In these embodiments, the hydrogen atoms can each be replaced by the same halogen (e.g., fluoro) or the hydrogen atoms can be replaced by a combination of different halogens (e.g., fluoro and chloro). "Haloalkyl" also includes alkyl moieties in which all hydrogens have been replaced by halo (sometimes referred to herein as perhaloalkyl, e.g., perfluoroalkyl, such as trifluoromethyl). Any atom can be optionally substituted, e.g., by one or more substituents.
[0047] As referred to herein, the term "alkoxy" refers to a group of formula -O(alkyl).

BIOLOGICAL FUNCTION
[0080] The utility of the invention can be demonstrated by one or more of the following methods or other methods known in the art:
Human PPARα Reporter Assay
[0081] The screening of test compounds for agonist or antagonist activities against human PPARα receptors was performed using a commercial kit, Human PPARα Reporter Assay System (Indigo Biosciences, Cat. #IB00111).
[0082] This nuclear receptor assay system utilizes proprietary non-human mammalian cells engineered to provide constitutive, high-level expression of Human PPARα. Because these cells incorporate a PPARα-responsive luciferase reporter gene, quantifying expressed luciferase activity provides a sensitive surrogate measure of PPARα activity in the treated cells. The primary application of this reporter assay system is in the screening of test samples to quantify any functional activity, either agonist or antagonist, that they may exert against human PPARα. While this assay may be used to measure agonism, each of the Examples, infra, exhibits antagonism rather than agonism. Briefly, the reporter cells are dispensed into wells of the assay plate and then immediately dosed with test compounds. Following an overnight incubation, the treatment media are discarded and Luciferase Detection Reagent (LDR) is added. The intensity of light emission from the ensuing luciferase reaction provides a sensitive measure that is directly proportional to the relative level of PPARα activation in the reporter cells.
Target Selectivity Assays
[0083] To determine species selectivity, a Mouse PPARα Reporter Assay System was used (Indigo Biosciences, Cat. #M00111). Activity of test compounds to antagonize or agonize other isoforms of human PPAR, for example β/δ and γ, were assessed using the corresponding kits from Indigo Biosciences (Cat. #IB00121 and #IB00101, respectively). In addition to PPAR activity, compounds were also screened for activity against other nuclear hormone receptors including Estrogen Receptor β, Glucocorticoid Receptor and Thyroid Receptor β using commercially available kits (Indigo Biosciences, Cat. #IB00411, IB00201 and IB01101, respectively). Each assay system from Indigo Biosciences uses technology analogous to the human PPARα kit, with the variance being that the cells used for each assay were engineered to over-express the receptor of interest. In addition, the appropriate receptor agonist (included with each kit) was used at ∼EC80 for assays in which antagonist potency was being assessed.
| Example | PPAR alpha IC50 (nM) | PPAR beta/delta IC50 (nM) | PPAR gamma IC50 (nM) | Thyroid Receptor β IC50 (nM) | Glucocorticoid Receptor IC50 (nM) | Estrogen Receptor β IC50 (nM) |
| 6 | 58 | 13265 | 39845 | 30849 | 18191 | 19444 |
Measuring fatty acid oxidation using 3H palmitate
[0084] Fatty acid oxidation is measured using 3H palmitate metabolism into 3H2O as described previously (Nieman et al., 2011). Briefly, cells (e.g. HepG2, PC3 and CLL) are plated in growth media and allowed to adhere overnight. Cells are then treated with compound or 40 µM etomoxir (an inhibitor of fatty acid oxidation) as control. After treatment, cells are washed with DPBS followed by incubation in assay buffer (growth media, 3H palmitate and compound). After incubation, media is collected and proteins precipitated with 5% tricholoroacetic acid. The precipitate is pelleted by centrifugation and the supernatant collected. Any remaining 3H palmitate in the supernatant is then removed by purification over a Dowex anion exchange column. 3H2O is then measured by scintillation counting.
Measurement of cell viability
[0085] Purified CLL cells were cultured at 2 x 105 cells/200 µL of RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% FCS in 96-well plates under various treatment conditions. Determination of CLL cell viability was based on the analysis of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨm) using 3,3'-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC6) (Invitrogen) and cell membrane permeability to propidium iodide (PI) (Sigma). For viability assays, 100 µL of the cell culture was collected at the indicated time points and transferred to polypropylene tubes containing 100 µL of 40 µM DiOC6 and 10 µg/mL PI in culture media. The cells were then incubated at 37 °C for 15 min and analyzed within 30 min by flow cytometry using an Accuri C6 flow cytometer. The percentage of viable cells was determined by gating on PI negative and DiOC6 bright cells.
In vivo PD model: PPAR alpha agonist-induced changes in liver gene expression
[0086] CD-1 mice were treated with test compound 1-2 hours prior to oral gavage with the PPAR alpha agonist WY14,643 (3 mg/kg). For the 1 day pharmacodynamic model, animals were euthanized 6 hours after agonist treatment. For the 3 day pharmacodynamic model, mice were dosed again with antagonist and WY14,643 on day 2 and day 3. In this case, mice were euthanized 6 hours following WY14,643 on day 3. Upon termination, blood was collected for DMPK analysis. Liver was collected, placed into Trizol and stored at -80 °C until processing. RNA was extracted from thawed and homogenized tissue using standard Trizol RNA isolation methods. RT-PCR was performed on the extracted RNA using primers specific for PPAR alpha regulated genes. Quantitative PCR was performed on the resulting cDNA and expression was normalized to β-actin.
In vivo cancer model: B16F10 model of pulmonary metastasis
[0087] B16F10 cells were cultured in standard growth media, harvested when approximately 50% confluent and injected into C57BL/6 mice via the tail vein (50,000 cells per mouse in 200 µL). Mice were treated daily with test compound. On day 21, mice were euthanized. Lungs were harvested and placed into Fekete's solution overnight to facilitate visualization of the tumors. Black nodules were enumerated.
[0088] Figure 1 shows inhibition of metastasis of B16F10 melanoma cells to the lung following oral doses of Example 6 at 0.3, 3 and 30 mg/kg. Statistics were performed by ANOVA with Dunnett's Multiple Comparison Test post-hoc to determine statistical differences from vehicle treatment group. * denotes P<0.05, while *** denotes P<0.001.

M. et al., Org. Process Res. Dev. 2007, 11, 431-440) in iPrOH (75 mL) and EtOAc (25 mL). To this was then added Adam's catalyst (0.7 g, 0.3 mmol) and the resulting suspension was thoroughly deoxygenated via subsurface purging with nitrogen. The reaction vessel was then connected to a Parr shaker and the reaction suspension was shaken under 50 psi of H2 for 3 days (or until no further consumption of hydrogen gas could be discerned). At this point, the excess H2 was discharged from the vessel and the reaction was immediately quenched with DCM. The deactivated catalyst was then removed via filtration through a pad of DCM-wetted celite and the insolubles were washed thoroughly with DCM.

After deoxygenation via subsurface purging with nitrogen, the resulting suspension was shaken under 50 psi of H2 for 2 more days. Finally, excess H2 was discharged from the vessel and the reaction was quenched with DCM.

To this was then added neat MsOH (4.7 mL, 73 mmol) drop-wise over a period of 15 min and the resulting solution was allowed to stir under nitrogen at RT over 16 h. The volatiles were then in vacuo and the resulting residue was co-evaporated with DCM (3 x 500 mL) and MeOH (3 x 500 mL) to furnish 19.1 g (99% yield) of intermediate (M) as a pale yellow foam.

The reaction as allowed to cool, partitioned between EtOAc and water, the organic phase extracted, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified on silica gel eluting with a gradient of 0 to 60% EtOAc in hexanes to afford the ester of the title compound.

The resulting mixture was stirred in a sealed pressure vessel at 85 °C for 16 hrs. The solution was cooled to rt and diluted with DCM and water. The organics were washed once more with water and the solution was filtered through a Na2SO4paper plug and concentrated. The residue was purified by preparatory TLC using 40% EtOAc/hexanes as eluent to afford 0.065 g of 1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-3-(3,3-difluoro-3-(3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)propyl)-4-ethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one (54% yield).

To this solution was then added a solution of saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (1 mL) and the resulting biphasic mixture was then subsurface purged with N2 for 5 minutes. Finally, Pd(PPh)4 (0.014 g, 0.012 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was stirred in a sealed pressure vessel at 85 °C for 16 hrs. The solution was cooled to rt, evaporated, and diluted with EtOAc and 1:1 brine/water. The organics were washed once more with water and brine. The organics were then filtered through a Na2SO4/paper plug and concentrated.

[0184] Step 1: To a degassed (sparged) solution of 2-bromo-6-chloropyridine (2.0 g, 10.4 mmol) in THF (75 mL) was added Pd(PPh3)4 (200 mg) followed by a solution of (4-ethoxy-4-oxobutyl)zinc(II) bromide (0.5M in THF; 20.8 mL, 20.8 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 2 hrs, the solution was poured on to a mixture of ice and 1N HCl, extracted with EtOAc, the organic phase separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The isolated residue was purified on silica gel (0 to 30% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford 1.4 g of ethyl 4-(6-chloropyridin-2-yl)butanoate.
[0185] Step 2: Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (400 mg) was added to a solution of ethyl 4-(6-chloropyridin-2-yl)butanoate (1.4 g, 7.0 mmol) in a mixture of THF (20 mL), MeOH (8 mL) and water (8 mL). After stirring at room temperature for 1hr, the solution was diluted with EtOAc and water. Solid citric acid was then added until an acidic pH was attained and the organic phase separated, washed with water, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to afford 4-(6-chloropyridin-2-yl)butanoic acid. The crude product thus obtained was used without further purification.
[0186] Step 3: To a solution of 4-(6-chloropyridin-2-yl)butanoic acid (600 mg, 3.0 mmol) in DMF (15 mL) was added HATU (1.3 g, 3.42 mmol) followed by DIPEA (1.6 mL) and stirred at RT for 30 minutes. Intermediate (M) (1.2 g, 3.47 mmol) was then added and the solution allowed to stir at rt for 24 hrs. The reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and water, the organic phase separated, dried (MgSO4) and filtered. To the filtrate was then added camphorsulfonic acid (697 mg, 3.0 mmol) and the resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 24 hrs. After cooling, the solution was neutralized following the addition of saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The organic phase was then separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue thus obtained was purified on silica gel, eluting with a gradient of 0 to 80% EtOAc in hexanes to afford 1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-3-(3-(6-chloropyridin-2-yl)propyl)-4-ethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one.
[0187] Step 4: The title compound was then obtained as previously described for Example 1, whereby the requisite boronate was cross-coupled and the resulting ester was then hydrolyzed under the same conditions.
Example 25: 3-(3-(3'-(1H-Tetrazol-5-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)propyl)-1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-4-ethyl-1H 1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one
[0189] A mixture of 3-(3-(3'-bromo-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)propyl)-1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-4-ethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one (112 mg, 0.245 mmol), 3-(tetrazol-5yl)phenylboronic acid (46 mg, 0.245 mmol, 1.0 eq) and potassium phosphate tribasic (208 mg, 0.980 mmol, 4 eq) were taken up in a DME (2 mL) and water (1 mL) solution. To this was added tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (6 mg, .0061 mmol, 0.025 eq) and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',6'-dimethoxybiphenyl (20 mg, 0.049 mmol, 0.2 eq), and the resulting mixture was stirred at 85 °C under an atmosphere of N2 for 24 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The crude material was then partitioned between water and EtOAc. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted further with EtOAc (3 x 20 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was evaporated in vacuum to obtain the crude product. The crude product was purified on reverse phase HPLC to afford a white solid (20 mg, 16% yield) LC-MS: 521 (M+H)+.
Example 26: 2-(5-(4-(3-(1-(4-(tert-Butyl)benzyl)-4-ethyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propyl)pyrimidin-2-yl)-2-ethoxyphenyl)acetic acid
[0191] Step 1: To a THF solution of 2,4-dichloropyrimidine (1.00 g, 6.71 mmol) was added at 0 °C (4-ethoxy-4-oxobutyl)zinc(II) bromide (13.42 mL, 6.71 mmol, 0.5 M in THF) followed by Pd(PPh)4 (0.194 g, 0.167 mmol).The reaction mixture thus obtained was then allowed to slowly warm to rt. By TLC, it was noted that this reaction had stalled after 1.5 hr, so another spatula tip of Pd(PPh)4 was then added and reaction was allowed to continue at rt for another 16 hrs. The reaction mixture was then poured into ice-cold 0.5M aq. HCl solution and diluted with EtOAc and brine. The organics were separated, washed once more with water and then concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography using 0%-50% gradient EtOAc/hexanes as eluent to afford 0.930 g (60% yield) of ethyl 4-(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)butanoate.
[0192] Step 2: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, ethyl 4-(2-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)butanoate (0.193 g, 0.842 mmol) and ethyl 2-(2-ethoxy-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)acetonitrile (0.220 g, 0.766 mmol) were dissolved in dioxane (8 mL) to which was added a solution of saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (4 mL). The resulting solution was then subsurface purged with N2 for 5 minutes after which, Pd(PPh)4 (0.088 g, 0.077 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred in a sealed pressure vessel at 85 °C for 16 hrs. The solution was cooled to rt, evaporated, and diluted with EtOAc and brine.

The resulting mixture was then stirred at rt for 1.5 hrs. The solvents were evaporated and the residue treated with EtOAc and a 20% aq. solution of citric acid. The organic layer was separated and washed with water (2X). The organics were then filtered through a Na2SO4/paper plug and concentrated. The resulting crude 4-(2-(3-(cyanomethyl)-4-ethoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)butanoic acid thus obtained was used directly in the next step.
[0194] Step 4: 4-(2-(3-(Cyanomethyl)-4-ethoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)butanoic acid (0.32 g, 0.984 mmol), Hunig's base (0.45 mL, 1.86 mmol) and 2-(7-aza-1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3- tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (0.449 g, 1.18 mmol) were combined in anhydrous DMF (10 mL). The reaction solution was stirred for 40 min at rt before intermediate (M) (0.248 g, 0.717 mmol), dissolved in a minimal amount of DMF, was added dropwise. The resulting solution was allowed to stir at rt for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then evaporated and diluted with EtOAc and water. The organics were washed sequentially with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate concentrated. The crude 1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-2-(4-(2-(3-(cyanomethyl)-4-ethoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)butanoyl)-N-ethylhydrazinecarboxamide thus obtained was used as is in the next step.
[0195] Step 5: To an EtOAc solution (10 mL) of 1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-2-(4-(2-(3-(cyanomethyl)-4-ethoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)butanoyl)-N-ethylhydrazinecarboxamide (0.547 g, 0.982 mmol) was added camphorsulfonic acid (0.228 g, 0.982 mmol) and the resulting solution was heated at reflux for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with EtOAc and brine. The organics were separated and washed sequentially with 1M NaOH, water, and brine. The organic extract was then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography using 0%-50% gradient acetone/hexanes as eluent to afford 0.300 g (57% yield, three steps) of 2-(5-(4-(3-(1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-4-ethyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propyl)pyrimidin-2-yl)-2-ethoxyphenyl)acetonitrile.

The resulting mixture was then stirred at 120 °C for 16 hrs. The reaction was quenched with 1 M aq. HCl (1.86 mL, 1.86 mmol) and the residue was diluted with EtOAc and water. The organic layer was separated and washed further with water (2X). The organics were then filtered through a Na2SO4/paper plug and concentrated. The organics were concentrated to afford 0.095 g (92% yield) of the title compound as a yellow solid. LCMS (ESI), M+H 558.

Example 31: 2-(3'-(3-(1-(4-(tert-Butyl)benzyl)-4-ethyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propyl)-3-hydroxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acetic acid
[0201] Step 1: In a 75mL screw-cap reaction flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer was combined 1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-4-ethyl-3-(3-(3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)propyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-one (300 mg, 0.60 mmol), methyl 2-(benzyloxy)-5-bromobenzoate (200 mg, 0.60 mmol) and K3PO4 (330 mg, 2.4 mmol) in DME (4 mL) and water (2 mL). The resulting biphasic mixture was then subsurface purged with N2 for 15 min after which, Pd2(dba)3 (14 mg, 0.015 mmol) and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',6'-dimethoxybiphenyl (25 mg, 0.060 mmol) were added in one rapid portion. The now golden-yellow biphasic suspension was subsurface purged with N2 for another 15 min before the vessel was tightly sealed and then heated at 85 °C for 15 h. The now dark orange reaction suspension was allowed to cool to RT, diluted with tert-butyl methyl ether and washed sequentially with 10% aq. HCl, water and brine. The organic extract thus obtained was then dried over Na2SO4, de-colorized with activated charcoal and finally filtered through a pad of ether-wetted celite. The insolubles were rinsed further with tert-butyl methyl ether and the filtrate thus obtained was concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the crude product thus obtained by way of column chromatography (SiO2, gradient elution, 4:1 Hex: EtOAc →EtOAc) furnished 2-(3-(benzyloxy)-3'-(3-(1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-4-ethyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acetate as a pale yellow oil (190 mg, 49% yield).
[0202] Step 2: In a 500mL Parr shaker flask was dissolved methyl 2-(3-(benzyloxy)-3'-(3-(1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-4-ethyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propyl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acetate (190 mg, 29 mmol) from the previous step in MeOH (10 mL). To this was then added Pd/C (10% wt/wt wet, 120 mg, 0.06 mmol) and the resulting suspension was thoroughly deoxygenated via subsurface purging with nitrogen. The reaction vessel was then connected to a Parr shaker and the reaction suspension was shaken under 50 psi of H2 for 5 h. The excess H2 was discharged from the vessel and the reaction was immediately quenched with DCM. The deactivated catalyst was then removed via filtration through a pad of DCM-wetted celite and the insolubles were washed thoroughly with DCM. The filtrate thus obtained was concentrated in vacuo to furnish a pale yellow solid. Purification of the crude product thus obtained by way of column chromatography (SiO2, gradient elution, 4:1 Hex: EtOAc → EtOAc) furnished methyl 2-(3'-(3-(1-(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl)-4-ethyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propyl)-3-hydroxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)acetate as a pale yellow solid (110 mg, 66% yield).

To this was then added 2N aq. LiOH (0.2 mL, 0.4 mmol) and the resulting solution was stirred at RT for 16 h. The volatiles were then removed in vacuo and the resulting residue was acidified with 1 N aq. HCl and extracted with DCM (3 x 10 mL). The combined organic extracts were then washed further with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. Concentration of the filtrate thus obtained in vacuo furnished the title compound as a white solid (33 mg, 66% yield). LC-MS: 528 (M+H)+, 526 (M-H)+.
