Description
BACKGROUND
Field of Invention

The present invention relates to new compounds having protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 agonist activity and treatment methods using the same.


Description of Related Art

Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase-1 (SHP-1), a protein tyrosine phosphatase with two Src homology 2 (SH2) domains, is a regulator of various intracellular signaling molecules, such as signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), KIT, CD22, CD5, CD72, SHPS-1, TIMP (metalloproteinases), CDK2, p27, SRC, ZAP70, IL-10, NF-κB, Lck, 3BP2, Lyn and cyclin D1.


STAT3 is a transcription factor which regulates inflammation, cell growth and survival by modulating the expression of target genes. It acts as an oncogene which is constitutively active in many cancers including liver, lung, head and neck, prostate, and breast as well as myeloma and leukemia. A key regulator of STAT3 activity is SHP-1. From a mechanistic perspective, SHP-1 exhibits protein phosphatase activity which reduces the level of Phospho-STAT3 (P-STAT) and subsequently blocks the dimerization of P-STAT3. Therefore, expression of target genes, such as cyclin D1 and survivin transcribed by STAT3, is significantly reduced.


In addition, studies of SHP-1 protein and SHP-1 mRNA showed that expression level of SHP-1 was low in most cancer cells; and genetic increase in SHP-1 in cancer cells resulted in the suppression of cell growth, suggesting that the SHP-1 gene acts as a tumor suppressor. From the drug discovery point of view, development of a small molecule which can reduce P-STAT3 and increase SHP-1 level is a promising direction for cancer therapy.


SHP-1 also plays an important role in bone remodeling, a process of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Loss function of SHP-1 results in osteoclast activation and eventually leads to osteoporosis. Therefore, enhancement of SHP-1 activity might be a direction for osteoporosis patient.


In addition, increase of SHP-1 is benefit for the macrophages of multiple sclerosis patients.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are by examples, and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.







DETAILED DESCRIPTION

According to this disclosure, the newly designed compounds act as SHP-1 agonists are useful for treating a disease or condition characterized by decreased expression levels or biological activity of SHP-1, such as cancer (e.g. hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, leukemia, lung cancer, breast cancer, renal cancer, thyroid cancer, head and neck cancer, sclerosis and osteoporosis). These compounds also provide a new therapeutic option for patients with the resistance to kinase inhibitors. These tumors generate kinase mutation after treatment and constitutively in the phosphorylated active form, even in the present of a kinase inhibitor.


Therefore, upregulation of a tumor suppressor, especially the activity and the level of SHP-1, to repress the active mutation form of kinases is a promising direction for chemo-resistance patients. In other words, the compounds of this disclosure, acting through a new targeting mechanism (kinase independent), provide alternative therapeutic options that may be helpful in the treatment of cancer with resistance to conventional medical therapeutics.

Chemical Synthesis

Synthesis Scheme I




embedded image


In the first step of synthesis scheme I, compound A was coupled with compound B to generate intermediate C in the present of t-BuOK. In this step, t-BuOK was first added to a DMSO solution of the compound B at 4° C. Next, compound A was added to the reaction mixture. The obtained reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes and heated to 150° C. for 20 minutes by microwave afterwards. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, ice water was added thereto to quench the reaction. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The collected organic phases were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and finally filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and then purified with chromatography to obtain intermediate C.


In step 2, the intermediate C and the amine R7NH2 were reacted with triphosgene to obtain the final compound I. In this step, a dried THF solution of amine R and triethylamine was slowly added to a dried THF solution of triphosgene in an ice-bath. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 30 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the temperature was cooled to room temperature, in a dried THF solution of the intermediate C was slowly added to the mixture in an ice-bath and heated at 60° C. overnight. The resulting solution was filtered to get rid of the salt and the filtrate was concentrated for chromatography. After purified with chromatography, compound I was obtained.

Synthetic Method of SC-92 (Example of Synthetic Scheme 1)



embedded image


In the synthesis of compound SC-92, 4-fluorobenzonitrile was first coupled with 5-amino-2-chlorophenol and then reacted with triphosgene to obtain compound SC-92.


In the first step, intermediate 4-(5-amino-2-chlorophenoxy)benzonitrile was synthesized. To the DMSO (1 mL) solution of 5-amino-2-chlorophenol (0.25 g, 1.75 mmol), t-BuOK (0.245 g, 2.19 mmol) was added at ice-bath. 4-fluorobenzonitrile (0.176, 1.45 mmol) were added to the solution and stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes and then heated to 150° C. for 20 minutes by microwave machine. Ice water was added, and the suspension was extracted with Ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The collected organic phases were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and then purified with chromatography to obtain the intermediate of 4-(5-amino-2-chlorophenoxy)benzonitrile.


4-(5-amino-2-chlorophenoxy)benzonitrile: 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOD): δ 7.68 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 7.18 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 6.99 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 6.58 (dd, J=8.4 Hz, 2.8 Hz, 1H), 6.49 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 1H).


In the second step, the product 1,3-bis(4-chloro-3-(4-cyanophenoxy) phenyl)urea (SC-92) was synthesized. First, 4-(5-amino-2-chlorophenoxy) benzonitrile (0.148 g, 0.61 mmol) with triethylamine (0.153 mL, 1.1 mmol) in dried THF (3 mL) were added slowly to the dried THF (3 mL) solution of triphosgene (0.082 g, 0.28 mmol) in ice-bathed. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. overnight under a nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling the temperature to room temperature, the resulting solution was filtered to get rid of the salt and concentrated the filtrate. The concentrated filtrate then washed with hexane (3×5 mL) and collected the resultant precipitate to dry under reduced pressure to obtain 1,3-bis(4-chloro-3-(4-cyanophenoxy) phenyl)urea.

Bioactivity Assay

Effects of SC Derivatives on Phosphatase Activity in Recombinant SHP-1 RediPlate 96 EnzChek Tyrosine Phosphatase Assay kit (R-22067) was used for SHP-1 activity assay (Molecular Probes). Recombinant SHP-1 protein (25 ng) was reacted with SC derivatives at 1 μM for 2 hr. Then the SHP-1 phosphatase activity assay was performed according to the user's manual and the absorbance was measured at 465 nm. The SHP-1 activities of the SC derivatives are shown in table 7 below. The control group was DMSO, which functioned as the solvent of the SC derivatives. The values were expressed by mean±SD (N=3).


Effects of SC Derivatives on Cytotoxicity


PLC5 cells (a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line) were seeded at 5×103 cells per well in 96-well plates. Then, cells were exposed to SC derivatives at the indicated doses for 72 h. After that, cells were incubated with MTT (1 mg/ml) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.) for 2 h at 37° C. Cell viability was then assessed by measuring the absorbance at 570 nm using a microplate reader. IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) of SC derivatives on PLC5 cancer cell line are shown in table 7 below, too.
