  • the key mediators of the immune system include the immune cells and the cytokines produced by them.
  • Chemokines are a family of small, secreted cytokines that control several processes such as cellular adhesion, localization, migration and cell-cell interaction (Clemens Esche, J Invest Dermatol.2005 Oct;125(4):615-28).

Cells expressing the chemokine receptors migrate in the direction of the respective chemokine gradient secreted by the tissue resident cells. CCR4 (C-C chemokine receptor) is an important member of the GPCR family that plays a critical role in the migration of immune cells in response to inflammatory chemokines CCL22 and CCL17 (Hongyi Li, MedComm (2020).2022 Jun 8;3(2):e147).

Description

AZETIDINE LINKED BICYCLIC HETEROCYCLYL COMPOUNDS AS CCR4 MODULATORS CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application claims priority to and the benefit of Indian Patent Application No. IN 202341034417, filed on May 17, 2023, which application is incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD The present application is directed to azetidine linked bicyclic heterocyclyl compounds of formula (I-1) as CCR4 modulators, useful for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases or disorders. The disclosure also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising compounds of the present application and methods of using said compositions in the treatment of diseases associated with CCR4. BACKGROUND Innate and adaptive immune responses and their coordinated interplay are essential to maintain homeostasis and for effective immune surveillance against pathogens and inflammatory diseases. The key mediators of the immune system include the immune cells and the cytokines produced by them. Chemokines are a family of small, secreted cytokines that control several processes such as cellular adhesion, localization, migration and cell-cell interaction (Clemens Esche, J Invest Dermatol.2005 Oct;125(4):615-28). Inflammatory chemokines secreted by various types of cells control the recruitment of inflammatory effector cells such as leukocytes in response to infection, inflammation, tissue injury and in the tumor microenvironment (Anna E Vilgelm, Front Immunol. 2019 Feb 27;10:333). They exert their effect through the activation of chemokine receptors on the cell surface of the effector cells. Chemokine receptors belong to the large family of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR). Cells expressing the chemokine receptors migrate in the direction of the respective chemokine gradient secreted by the tissue resident cells. CCR4 (C-C chemokine receptor) is an important member of the GPCR family that plays a critical role in the migration of immune cells in response to inflammatory chemokines CCL22 and CCL17 (Hongyi Li, MedComm (2020).2022 Jun 8;3(2):e147). Tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages secrete CCL22 leading to the recruitment of CCR4 expressing regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment. This increased infiltration of Tregs leads to an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment and is associated with poor prognosis (Osamu Yoshie, Cancers (Basel). 2021 Nov 4;13(21):5542). Thus, CCR4 is implicated in the pathology of various immune-associated disorders. Effective modulation of CCR4 is hence crucial for the therapeutic intervention of inflammatory disorders and cancer. SUMMARY Provided herein are compounds of formula (I-1) and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, which are capable of modulating CCR4. In one aspect of the present disclosure, it comprises compounds of formula (I-1):
