Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivative compounds having a histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitory activity, stereoisomers thereof, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, a use thereof in preparation of a medicament, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, a therapeutic method using the composition, and a method for preparing the same.


BACKGROUND

In cells, a post-translational modification such as acetylation serves as a very important regulatory module at the hub of biological processes and is also strictly controlled by a number of enzymes. As a core protein constituting chromatin, histone functions as an axis, around which DNA winds, and thus helps a DNA condensation. Also, a balance between acetylation and deacetylation of histone plays a very important role in gene expression.


As an enzyme for removing an acetyl group from lysine residue of histone protein, which constitutes chromatin, histone deacetylase (HDAC) is known to be associated with gene silencing and induce a cell cycle arrest, angiogenic inhibition, immunoregulation, apoptosis, etc. (Hassig et al., Curr. Opin. Chem. Biol. 1997, 1, 300-308). Also, it is reported that the inhibition of HDAC enzyme functions induces cancer cells into committing apoptosis for themselves by lowering an activity of cancer cell survival-related factors and activating cancer cell death-related factors in the body (Warrell et al., J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 1998, 90, 1621-1625).


For humans, 18 HDACs are known and classified into four classes according to homology with yeast HDAC. In this case, eleven HDACs using zinc as a cofactor may be divided into three groups: Class I (HDAC1, 2, 3, 8), Class II (IIa: HDAC4, 5, 7, 9; IIb: HDAC6, 10) and Class IV (HDAC11). Further, seven HDACs of Class III (SIRT 1-7) use NAD+ as a cofactor instead of zinc (Bolden et al., Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2006, 5(9), 769-784).


Various HDAC inhibitors are now in a preclinical or clinical development stage, but only non-selective HDAC inhibitors have been known as an anti-cancer agent so far. Vorinostat (SAHA) and romidepsin (FK228) have obtained an approval as a therapeutic agent for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, while panobinostat (LBH-589) has won an approval as a therapeutic agent for multiple myeloma. However, it is known that the non-selective HDAC inhibitors generally bring about side effects such as fatigue, nausea and the like at high doses (Piekarz et al., Pharmaceuticals 2010, 3, 2751-2767). It is reported that the side effects are caused by the inhibition of class I HDACs. Due to the side effects, etc., the non-selective HDAC inhibitors have been subject to restriction on drug development in other fields than an anticancer agent (Witt et al., Cancer Letters 277 (2009) 8.21).


Meanwhile, it is reported that the selective inhibition of class II HDACs would not show toxicity, which have occurred in the inhibition of class I HDACs. In case of developing the selective HDAC inhibitors, it would be likely to solve side effects such as toxicity, etc., caused by the non-selective inhibition of HDACs. Accordingly, there is a chance that the selective HDAC inhibitors may be developed as an effective therapeutic agent for various diseases (Matthias et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 2008, 28, 1688-1701).


HDAC6, one of the class IIb HDACs, is known to be mainly present in cytoplasma and contain a tubulin protein, thus being involved in the deacetylation of a number of non-histone substrates (HSP90, cortactin, etc.) (Yao et al., Mol. Cell 2005, 18, 601-607). HDAC6 has two catalytic domains, in which a zinc finger domain of C-terminal may bind to an ubiquitinated protein. HDAC6 is known to have a number of non-histone proteins as a substrate, and thus play an important role in various diseases such as cancers, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurological diseases, neurodegenerative disorders and the like (Santo et al., Blood 2012 119: 2579-2589; Vishwakarma et al., International Immunopharmacology 2013, 16, 72-78; Hu et al., J. Neurol. Sci. 2011, 304, 1-8).


A structural feature that various HDAC inhibitors have in common is comprised of a cap group, a linker and a zinc binding group (ZBG) as shown in a following structure of vorinostat. Many researchers have conducted a study on the inhibitory activity with regard to enzymes and selectivity through a structural modification of the cap group and the linker. Out of the groups, it is known that the zinc binding group plays a more important role in the enzyme inhibitory activity and selectivity (Wiest et al., J. Org. Chem. 2013 78: 5051-5065; Methot et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2008, 18, 973-978).

Most of said zinc binding group is comprised of hydroxamic acid or benzamide, out of which hydroxamic acid derivatives show a strong HDAC inhibitory effect, but have a problem with low bioavailability and serious off-target activity. Benzamide contains aniline and thus has a problem in that it may produce toxic metabolites in vivo (Woster et al., Med. Chem. Commun. 2015, online publication).


Accordingly, to treat cancers, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurological diseases, neurodegenerative disorders and the like, there is a need to develop a selective HDAC6 inhibitor which has a zinc binding group with improved bioavailability, while causing no side effects unlike the non-selective inhibitors having side effects.

Protocol for Measuring and Analyzing the Activity of the Inventive Compound


<Experimental Example 1> Identification of HDAC Enzyme Activity Inhibition (In Vitro)

A selective HDAC6 inhibitor is important for selectivity of HDAC1 inhibition, which is a cause of side effects, and thus HDAC1/6 enzyme selectivity and cell selectivity (HDAC1: histone acetylation/HDAC6: tubulin acetylation) were identified.


1. Experimental Method

A HDAC enzyme inhibitory capacity of a test material was measured by using HDAC1 Fluorimetric Drug Discovery Assay Kit (Enzolifesciences: BML-AK511) and HDAC6 human recombinant (Calbiochem: 382180). For a HDAC1 assay, samples were treated at a concentration of 100, 1000 and 10000 nM. For a HDAC6 assay, samples were treated at a concentration of 0.1, 1, 10, 100 and 1000 nM. After the above sample treatment, a reaction was continued at 37° C. for 60 minutes, then treated with a developer, and then subjected to a reaction at 37° C. for 30 minutes, after which fluorescence intensity (Ex 390, Em 460) was measured by using FlexStatin3 (Molecular device).


2. Experimental Results

The results of measuring HDAC enzyme inhibitory activity obtained according to the above experimental method are shown in a following table 2.
