Title: Febrifugine Derivatives

Description:
CROSS REFERENCE 
     This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/942,355 filed Dec. 2, 2019, which is incorporated herein in its entirety. 
    
    
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention generally relates to compounds that are derivatives of febrifugine, methods of making the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and methods of using the compounds to treat diseases. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Febrifugine is a natural product extracted from the roots of the  hydrangea Dichroa febrifuga. Dichroa febrifuga  is one of the “fifty fundamental herbs” of traditional Chinese medicine, originally used as an anti-malarial remedy (Jiang et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. (2005) 49: 1169-1176). 
     Halofuginone is a halogenated derivative of febrifugine. Halofuginone (7-bromo-6-chloro-3-[3-(3-hydroxy-2-piperidinyl)-2-oxopropyl]-4(3H)-quinazolinone), and halofuginone derivatives are described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,694,711. Halofuginone is disclosed as having anti-fibrotic properties in vivo (Pines, et al., Biol. Blood Marrow Transplant (2003) 9: 417-425; U.S. Pat. No. 6,028,075). However, halofuginone has shown some toxicity in humans, such as nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, and possibly bleeding complications (de Jonge et al., Eur. J. Cancer (2006) 42: 1768-1774). 
     Patent applications WO2010019210, published Feb. 18, 2010 and WO2013106702, published Jul. 18, 2013 disclose derivatives of halofuginone. In the Abstract of WO2013106702, it is disclosed that: 
     The present invention provides halofuginol, and derivatives and salts thereof, including diasteromerically enriched compositions thereof. The invention also provides pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions thereof as well as methods for using halofuginol and derivatives thereof in treating chronic inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, dry eye syndrome, fibrosis, scar formation, angiogenesis, viral infections, malaria, ischemic damage, transplant rejection, neurodegenerative diseases, T-cell neoplasms, and cosmetic conditions. 
     Despite the recognition of the potential medical uses for febrifugine and discovery of halofuginone, halofuginol and other compounds, new derivatives of febrifugine are desired that may provide benefits to patients such as, for example, enhanced activity and less side effects. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is directed to derivatives of febrifugine, methods of making the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and methods of using the compounds to treat diseases. By virtue of the present invention, it may now be possible to provide more effective treatment to patients with the compounds of the present invention. Patients may experience an improved response in one or more areas including, for example, increased efficacy, reduced side effects, and enhanced quality of life.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The following detailed description is provided to aid those skilled in the art in practicing the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art may make modifications and variations in the aspects described herein without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used in the description is for describing particular aspects only and is not intended to be limiting. 
     As used in this application, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below. Additional definitions are set forth throughout the application. In instances where a term is not specifically defined herein, that term is given an art-recognized meaning by those of ordinary skill applying that term in context to its use in describing the present invention. 
     The articles “a” and “an” refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. By way of example, “an element” means one element or more than one element. 
     The term “about” refers to a value or composition that is within an acceptable error range for the particular value or composition as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the value or composition is measured or determined, i.e., the limitations of the measurement system. For example, “about” can mean within 1 or more than 1 standard deviation per the practice in the art. Alternatively, “about” can mean a range of up to 10% or 20% (i.e., 10% or 20%). For example, about 3 mg can include any number between 2.7 mg and 3.3 mg (for 10%) or between 2.4 mg and 3.6 mg (for 20%). Furthermore, particularly with respect to biological systems or processes, the terms can mean up to an order of magnitude or up to 5-fold of a value. When particular values or compositions are provided in the application and claims, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of “about” should be assumed to be within an acceptable error range for that particular value or composition. 
     The term “administering” refers to the physical introduction of a composition comprising a therapeutic agent to a subject, using any of the various methods and delivery systems known to those skilled in the art. For example, routes of administration for the compounds of the invention can include enteral, intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, spinal or other parenteral routes of administration, for example by injection or infusion. The phrase “parenteral administration” as used herein means modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intralymphatic, intralesional, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, epidural and intrasternal injection and infusion, as well as in vivo electroporation. In some aspects, the compounds of the invention are administered orally. Typical routes of administration can include bucal, intranasal, ophthalmic, oral, osmotic, parenteral, rectal, sublingual, topical, transdermal, or vaginal. Administering can also be performed, for example, once, a plurality of times, and/or over one or more extended periods and can be a therapeutically effective dose or a subtherapeutic dose. Administering may also be performed over an extended period of time such as, for example, by using controlled release, delayed release or slow release formulations. 
     The term “effective amount” refers to that amount which is sufficient to effect an intended result. The effective amount will vary depending on the subject and disease state being treated, the severity of the affliction and the manner of administration, and may be determined routinely by one of ordinary skill in the art. 
     The terms “in combination with” and “in conjunction with” refer to administration of one treatment modality in addition to another treatment modality. As such, “in combination with” or “in conjunction with” refers to administration of one treatment modality before, during, or after administration of the other treatment modality to the subject. 
     The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” includes any and all adjuvants, solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like that are physiologically compatible, examples of which are hereinafter described. 
     The term “salt” refers to a salt form of one or more of the compounds or produges described herein. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” is a type of salt form which are presented to increase the solubility of the compound in the gastric or gastroenteric juices of the patient&#39;s gastrointestinal tract in order to promote dissolution and the bioavailability of the compounds. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic bases and acids, where applicable. Suitable salts include those derived from alkali metals such as potassium and sodium, alkaline earth metals such as calcium, magnesium and ammonium salts, among numerous other acids and bases well known in the pharmaceutical art. These salts can be made according to common organic techniques employing commercially available reagents. Some anionic salt forms include acetate, acistrate, besylate, bromide, chloride, citrate, fumarate, glucouronate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroiodide, iodide, lactate, maleate, mesylate, nitrate, pamoate, phosphate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, tosylate, and xinofoate. Some cationic salt forms include ammonium, aluminum, benzathine, bismuth, calcium, choline, diethylamine, diethanolamine, lithium, magnesium, meglumine, 4-phenylcyclohexylamine, piperazine, potassium, sodium, tromethamine, and zinc. The compounds may be present as a neutral compound, salt form, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form thereof. 
     The term “prodrug” refers to a precursor of a drug which may be administered in an altered or less active form. The prodrug may be converted into the active drug form in physiological environments by hydrolysis or other metabolic pathways. A discussion of prodrugs is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems (1987) 14 of the  A.C.S. Symposium Series , and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, (1987) Edward B. Roche, ed., American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press. 
     The terms “subject” and “patient” refer any human or nonhuman animal. The term “nonhuman animal” includes, but is not limited to, vertebrates such as nonhuman primates, sheep, dogs, and rodents such as mice, rats and guinea pigs. In some aspects, the subject is a human. The terms, “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein. 
     The term, “subtherapeutic dose” refers a dose of a therapeutic agent (e.g., a compound of the invention) that is lower than the usual or typical dose of the therapeutic agent when administered alone for the treatment of a disease (e.g., fibrosis). 
     The terms “therapeutically effective amount”, “therapeutically effective dosage” and “therapeutically effective dose” of an agent (also sometimes referred to herein as a “drug”) refers to any amount of the agent that, when used alone or in combination with another agent, protects a subject against the onset of a disease or promotes disease regression evidenced by a decrease in severity of disease symptoms, an increase in frequency and duration of disease symptom-free periods, or a prevention of impairment or disability due to the disease affliction. The ability of an agent to promote disease regression can be evaluated using a variety of methods known to the skilled practitioner, such as in human subjects during clinical trials, in animal model systems predictive of efficacy in humans, or by assaying the activity of the agent in in vitro assays. In certain aspects, the therapeutically effective amount prevents the development or recurrence of the disease entirely. “Inhibiting” the development or recurrence of a disease means either lessening the likelihood of the disease&#39;s development or recurrence, or preventing the development or recurrence of the disease entirely. 
     The term “treatment” refers to any treatment of a condition or disease in a subject and may include: (i) preventing the disease or condition from occurring in the subject which may be predisposed to the disease but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (ii) inhibiting the disease or condition, i.e., arresting its development; relieving the disease or condition, i.e., causing regression of the condition; or (iii) ameliorating or relieving the conditions caused by the disease, i.e., symptoms of the disease. Treatment could be used in combination with other standard therapies or alone. Treatment or “therapy” of a subject also includes any type of intervention or process performed on, or the administration of an agent to, the subject with the objective of reversing, alleviating, ameliorating, inhibiting, slowing down or preventing the onset, progression, development, severity or recurrence of a symptom, complication or condition, or biochemical indicia associated with a disease.
         The scope of any instance of a variable, including R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , E and Z, can be used independently with the scope of any other instance of a variable substituent. As such, the invention includes combinations of the different aspects.       

     Some compounds of the invention may exist in stereoisomeric forms. The invention includes all stereoisomeric and tautomeric forms of the compounds. 
     The invention is intended to include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the present compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include deuterium and tritium. Isotopes of carbon include  13 C and  14 C. Isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed. Such compounds may have a variety of potential uses, for example as standards and reagents in determining biological activity. In the case of stable isotopes, such compounds may have the potential to favorably modify biological, pharmacological, or pharmacokinetic properties.
         In some variations, the compounds disclosed herein may be varied such that from 1 to “n” hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is/are replaced by deuterium, in which “n” is the number of hydrogens in the molecule. Such compounds may exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and are thus useful for increasing the half life of the compound when administered to a subject. See, for example, Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism”,  Trends Pharmacol. Sci.  5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium.       

     Deuterium labeled or substituted therapeutic compounds of the disclosure may have improved drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) properties, relating to absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements and/or an improvement in therapeutic index. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent in the compounds provided herein. 
     Preferably, the compounds of the invention do not promote the formation of glutathione (“GSH”) adducts in any significant amounts. In the liver, GSH can form stable addusts with many reactive species, e.g., active drug metabolites. In accordance with the present invention, the compounds surprisingly do not form significant amounts of GSH adducts. As a result, the GSH pool in the liver of patients is substantially not reduced by administration of the compounds of the invention.

     It will also be recognized that another major consideration in the planning of any synthetic route in this field is the judicious choice of the protecting group used for protection of the reactive functional groups present in the compounds described in this invention. An authoritative account describing the many alternatives to the trained practitioner is Greene, T. W. et al.,  Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis,  4th Edition, Wiley (2007)). 
     Compounds having the general Formula (Q): wherein A and B defined below as Ar 1 , and Ar 2  respectively, can be prepared by the following one or more of the synthetic Schemes. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Halofuginone and Halofuginol derivatives of this invention wherein rings A and B are substituted phenyl and or heteroaryl rings can be prepared by the general route shown in Scheme 1, starting from a benzyl (2R,3S)-3-(((benzyloxy)carbonyl)oxy)-2-(2-oxopropyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate, which was synthesized using methods known to one skilled in the art for these types of couplings (see for example Satoshi et al.,  Synthesis.  2008, 19, 3081). The methyl group in 1 was brominated using a two-step, one-pot procedure involving the formation of a trimethylsilyl enol ether. The crude bromo compound was then treated with quinazoline derivatives (2) in the presence of base to form Cbz protected halofuginone derivatives 3. The protection in 3 was removed either with 6M aq. HCl or trifluoroacetic acid and the crude compound obtained was directly converted to corresponding tert-butyl carbamate 3. The Boc deprotection of 4 using acids (HCl, TFA) afforded the halofuginone derivatives 5 as the corresponding acid salt. The reduction of Boc-protected halofuginone derivatives 4 with NaBH 4  provided diastereomers which were separated by RP HPLC. The desired isomer 6 was deprotected to the corresponding halofuginol derivatives (e.g. 7) as acid salt. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Pharmaceutical Compositions 
     Liquid dosage forms for oral and parenteral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable sprays, e.g., for intranasal administration, emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active agents, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, com, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents. In certain aspects for parenteral administration, agents of the invention are mixed with solubilizing agents such CREMOPHOR EL® (polyethoxylated castor oil), alcohols, oils, modified oils, glycols, polysorbates, cyclodextrins, polymers, and combinations thereof. 
     Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. Sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer&#39;s solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables. 
     Injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use. In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in tum, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form can be accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as poly(lactide-co-glycolide). Depending upon the ratio of drug compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues. 
     Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active agent. 
     Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, films, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active agent is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents. 
     Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like. 
     Formulations suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations such as liniments, lotions, gels, applicants, oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions such as creams, ointments, or pastes; or solutions or suspensions such as drops. Formulations for topical administration to the skin surf ace can be prepared by dispersing the drug with a dermatologically acceptable carrier such as a lotion, cream, ointment, or soap. Useful carriers are capable of forming a film or layer over the skin to localize application and inhibit removal. For topical administration to internal tissue surfaces, the agent can be dispersed in a liquid tissue adhesive or other substance known to enhance adsorption to a tissue surface. For example, hydroxypropylcellulose or fibrinogen/thrombin solutions can be used to advantage. Alternatively, tissue-coating solutions, such as pectin-containing formulations can be used. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, and eye drops are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. Additionally, the present invention contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of an agent to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the agent in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the agent across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the agent in a polymer matrix or gel. 
     Additionally, the carrier for a topical formulation can be in the form of a hydroalcoholic system (e.g., quids and gels), an anhydrous oil or silicone based system, or an emulsion system, including, but not limited to, oil-in-water, water-in-oil, water-in-oil-in-water, and oil-in-water-in-silicone emulsions. The emulsions can cover a broad range of consistencies including thin lotions (which can also be suitable for spray or aerosol delivery), creamy lotions, light creams, heavy creams, and the like. The emulsions can also include microemulsion systems. Other suitable topical carriers include anhydrous solids and semisolids (such as gels and sticks); and aqueous based mousse systems. 
     It will also be appreciated that the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be employed in combination therapies, that is, the agents and pharmaceutical compositions can be administered concurrently with, prior to, or subsequent to, one or more other desired therapeutics or medical procedures. The particular combination of therapies (therapeutics or procedures) to employ in a combination regimen will take into account compatibility of the desired therapeutics and/or procedures and the desired therapeutic effect to be achieved. It will also be appreciated that the therapies employed may achieve a desired effect for the same disorder (for example, an inventive compound may be administered concurrently with another agent), or they may achieve different effects (e.g., control of any adverse effects).

     Assay for Inhibitors of Prolyl tRNA Synthetase Activity 
     In order to establish the activities of the compounds highlighted above, we determined extent of inhibition of prolyl tRNA synthetase activity in dose response curves to obtain IC50 values. 
     The prolyl tRNA synthetase moiety (ProRS) in the cDNA of glutamyl prolyl tRNA synthetase was subcloned, tagged with a single biotin, purified and used in the assay. 
     Briefly, human ProRS with a 6×N-terminal His tag in pET28N with TVMV BioP was transformed in  E. coli  BL21 (DE3) cells, selected, overexpressed and purified using a Ni Seph 6 FF XK 16/20 column in the first stage. Ni-NTA eluates were pooled and treated with TVMV protease, and biotinylated using d-Biotin, MgCl 2 , ATP and the BirA enzyme. This was rerun through a Ni column as before. The eluates were further enriched and purified using membrane ultrafiltration and a SuperDex 200 XK 16/60 column, and peak fractions were confirmed by SDS-PAGE prior to protein amount determination, aliquoting and storage at −80° C.
         ProRS assay was performed in 96 well plates in a final reaction volume of 20 μl, using staggered additions of Tris-Cl (pH 7.5, 60 mM), dithiothreitol (2 mM), ATP (5 mM, pH 7.0), MgCl 2  6 mM), ProRS (20 nM, with pre-determined active fraction range) and bovine tRNA (20 μg). Controls and compounds, at various concentrations (10 μM to 0.5 nM), were incubated on ice with enzyme mix for 15 min followed by addition of proline (non-labeled and labeled, 3.96 and 1.04 μM (1 μCi) respectively) to initiate the reaction. Reaction was carried out for 10 min at 37° C. and terminated by addition of TCA (10%, 100 μl). Reaction mix was collected on a Whatman GF/B filter using a vacuum filtration manifold. This filter was washed 3 times with 5% TCA followed by 2 washes with ethanol, air dried, and read using a liquid scintillation counter (TopCount NXT) using MicroScint O. IC 50  values were calculated and analyzed using ToolSet (4-parameter plot) and depicted herein.       

     GSH Trapping Assay 
     Rat hepatocytes were isolated from male Sprague-Dawley rats (Vivo Biotech Ltd, HYD, India), weighing 230 to 280 g by the two step collagenase perfusion method ( seglen,  1976; Berry M N and Friend D S.1969). Rat hepatocytes were cultured in Dulbecco&#39;s Modified Eagle&#39;s Medium (DMEM, Gibco®, USA) supplemented with 10 −6  M dexamethasone (Gibco®), 5% fetal bovine serum (Gibco®) and cocktail-A mix (CM3000, Gibco®) containing HEPES buffer (PH 7.4), GlutaMAX™, human recombinant insulin, penicillin and streptomycin. Initial cell viability assessed by Trypanblue stain 0.4% (Sigma, UK) and viability more than 80% were considered for culturing. Hepatocytes were seeded in 96 well type-I collagen coated plates (Gibco®) at 4×10 4  cells/well in 100 μL of the culture medium and incubated at 37° C. in 5% CO 2  and 95% relative humidity (RH) for 4 hr of cell attachment. 
     After 4 hr incubation, rat hepatocytes were washed twice with pre-warmed (37° C.) DMEM incubation medium supplemented with 10 −7  M dexamethasone and cell maintenance cocktail-B (CM4000, Gibco®) solution to remove unattached cells. Post washing hepatocytes were treated with test and reference compounds in incubation medium at single concentration (30 μM) in duplicate and incubate further for 24 hr at 37° C. with 5% CO 2  and 95% RH. The final concentration of DMSO in medium was 0.5%. 
     Post 24 hr incubation, hepatocyte samples were quenched with equal volumes of acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid followed by vortex mix, sonicate and centrifuge at 12000 rpm at room temperature for 5 min. Supernatant samples were analyzed for GSH adducts on a C18 reverse-phase column (Xbridge™ Shield, C 18 , 4.6×150 mm, 3.5 μm) with solvent A (10 mM ammonium formate and 0.1% formic acid/water) and solvent B (0.1% formic acid/acetonitrile). 
     The column was eluted with 5% B for 5 min and then with a linear gradient to 20% B over 10 min and it was maintained up to 15 min, then it was increased linearly to 40% B up to 27 min and then increase to 90% B up to 29 min, and then equilibrate back the column to 5% B up to 33 min at a flow rate of 0.6 ml/min. The column effluent was directed into the ESI source of a LTQ Velos Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, Calif.). The ESI conditions were as follows: sheath gas flow rate, 40 arbitrary units; auxiliary gas, 30 arbitrary units; spray voltage, 4.5 kV; capillary temperature, 230° C.; capillary voltage, 30 V; and tube lens offset, 25 V. Data were acquired in positive ion mode using Xcalibur software (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with one full scan followed by two data-dependent scans of the most intense and the second most intense ions. During the data interpretation the characteristic fragments of neutral loss of glycine (75.0320 Da), pyroglutamic acid (129.0426 Da) and loss of neutral moiety GSH (307.0838 Da) and/or a specific fragment of (GSH+H) +  (m/z 308.0911) were monitored. Finally the fragments ions with m/z e.g. 179.0485, 177.0328 and 162.0219 Da, which were derived from the glutathione moiety were used to report GSH positive results. The results of the biological testing are shown in Table 4.

     Throughout this application, various publications are referenced by author name and date, or by patent number or patent publication number. The disclosures of these publications are hereby incorporated in their entireties by reference into this application in order to more fully describe the state of the art as known to those skilled therein as of the date of the invention described and claimed herein. However, the citation of a reference herein should not be construed as an acknowledgement that such reference is prior art to the present invention. 
     Those skilled in the art will recognize, or be able to ascertain using no more than routine experimentation, numerous equivalents to the specific procedures described herein. Such equivalents are considered to be within the scope of this invention and are covered by the following claims. For example, it is intended in accordance with the present invention that the compounds of the invention can be employed to treat diseases other than the specific diseases disclosed in the description herein. Further, compounds other than those disclosed in the description and Examples herein can be employed. Furthermore, it is intended that specific items within lists of items, or subset groups of items within larger groups of items, can be combined with other specific items, subset groups of items or larger groups of items whether or not there is a specific disclosure herein identifying such a combination. 
     It will be evident to one skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the foregoing illustrative examples, and that it can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the essential attributes thereof. It is therefore desired that the examples be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing examples, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
