Description
FIELD

The present invention is directed to allosteric chromenone inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) useful in the treatment of diseases, or disorders associated with PI3K modulation. The invention is directed toward compounds and compositions which inhibit PI3K, methods of (or uses for) treating a disease, or disorder associated with PI3K (e.g., CLOVES syndrome (congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, epidermal naevi, scoliosis/skeletal, and spinal syndrome), PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndrome (PROS), breast cancer, brain cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, gastric cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, sarcoma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, skin cancer, or head and neck cancer), and using, or methods of using, PI3K inhibitors in combination with one or more additional cancer therapies.


BACKGROUND

The phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) signaling pathway is one of the most highly mutated systems in human cancers. PI3K signaling is involved in many other disease states including allergic contact dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, disorders related to diabetic complications, and inflammatory complications of the cardiovascular system such as acute coronary syndrome.


PI3Ks are members of a unique, and conserved family of intracellular lipid kinases that phosphorylate the 3′-OH group on phosphatidylinositols, or phosphoinositides. The PI3K family comprises 15 kinases with distinct substrate specificities, expression patterns, and modes of regulation (Katso et al., Annu Rev Cell Dev Biol. 2001; 17:615-75). The class I PI3Ks (p110α, p110β, p110δ, and p110γ) are typically activated by tyrosine kinases, or G-protein coupled receptors to generate PIP3, which engages downstream effectors such as those in the pathways of Akt/PDK1, mTOR, the Tec family kinases, and the Rho family GTPases. The class II, and III PI3Ks play a key role in intracellular trafficking through the synthesis of PI(3)P, and PI(3,4)P2.


The PI3K isoforms have been implicated, for example, in a variety of human cancers, and disorders. Mutations in the gene coding for PI3K isoforms, or mutations which lead to upregulation of a PI3K isoform are believed to occur in many human cancers. Mutations in the gene coding for a PI3K isoform are point mutations clustered within several hotspots in helical, and kinase domains. Because of the high rate of PI3K mutations, targeting of this pathway may provide valuable therapeutic opportunities.


Genetic alterations in genes in PI3K signaling are believed to be involved in a range of cancers such as endometrial cancer, breast cancer, esophageal squamous-cell cancer, cervical squamous-cell carcinoma, cervical adenocarcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer, esophagogastric cancer, nerve-sheath tumor, head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma, melanoma, esophagogastric adenocarcinoma, soft-tissue sarcoma, prostate cancer, fibrolamellar carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, diffuse glioma, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, B-cell lymphoma, mesothelioma, adrenocortical carcinoma, renal non-clear-cell carcinoma, renal clear-cell carcinoma, germ-cell carcinoma, thymic tumor, pheochromocytoma, miscellaneous neuroepithelial tumor, thyroid cancer, leukemia, and encapsulated glioma (Goncalves M D, Hopkins B D, Cantley L C. Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase, Growth Disorders, and Cancer. N Engl J Med. 2018 Nov. 22; 379(21):2052-2062).


The alpha (α) isoform of PI3K has been implicated, for example, in a variety of human cancers. Angiogenesis has been shown to selectively require the a isoform of PI3K in the control of endothelial cell migration. (Graupera et al, Nature 2008; 453; 662-6). Mutations in the gene coding for PI3Kα, or mutations which lead to upregulation of PI3Kα are believed to occur in many human cancers such as lung, stomach, endometrial, ovarian, bladder, breast, colon, brain, prostate, and skin cancers. Mutations in the gene coding for PI3Kα are point mutations clustered within several hotspots in helical, and kinase domains, such as E542K, E545K, and H1047R. Many of these mutations have been shown to be oncogenic gain-of-function mutations. Because of the high rate of PI3Kα mutations, targeting of this pathway may provide valuable therapeutic opportunities. While other PI3K isoforms such as PI3Kδ, or PI3Kγ are expressed primarily in hematopoietic cells, PI3Kα, along with PI3Kβ, is expressed constitutively.


Mutated PI3Kα has been implicated in brain metastases in HR+/HER2− metastatic breast cancers. Development of brain-penetrant PI3Kα inhibitors may provide improved therapeutic benefit over current PI3Kα inhibitors. (Fitzgerald et al., Association between PIK3CA mutation status and development of brain metastases in HR+/HER2− metastatic breast cancer. Ann Oncol 30:v110, 2019 (suppl 5)).


Due to the central role of PI3Kα in regulating organismal glucose homeostasis, PI3K inhibition in patients often gives rise to hyperglycemia and/or hyperinsulinemia (Busaidy N L, et al, Management of metabolic effects associated with anticancer agents targeting the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway. J Clin Oncol 2012; 30:2919-28). High levels of circulating insulin could potentially be mitogenic and/or antiapoptotic for cancer cells, and thus negate the antiproliferative effects of PI3K inhibitors (Blouin M-J, et al, Abstract 4615: the hyperinsulinemia caused by PI3K inhibitors attenuates their antineoplastic efficacy, but can be minimized by co-administration of metformin. Cancer Res 2013; 73:4615).


In the setting of cancer with mutated PI3Kα, one way to overcome the problem of compensatory production of insulin and/or glucose upon systemic PI3Kα inhibition would be to develop inhibitors with enhanced selectivity for mutant PI3Kα over wild-type PI3Kα. This would create an increased window for drug dosing to selectively inhibit the pathologic signaling of mutant PI3Kα in the cancer cells without affecting the wild-type PI3Kα in the host tissues that control systemic metabolism (Okkenhaug K, Graupera M, Vanhaesebroeck B. Targeting PI3K in Cancer: Impact on Tumor Cells, Their Protective Stroma, Angiogenesis, and Immunotherapy. Cancer Discov. 2016 October; 6(10):1090-1105), thus limiting toxicities, and permitting higher doses, and more complete inhibition of the drug target (Ariella B. Hanker, et al, Challenges for the clinical development of PI3K inhibitors: Strategies to improve their impact in solid tumors. Cancer Discov. 2019 April; 9(4): 482-491).


Currently PI3Kα inhibitors are nearly equipotent to wild-type, and mutant PI3Kα. Mutant selective inhibitors have been elusive due to the PI3Kα mutations location far from the active site.


As such, inhibitors which target a second, peripheral binding pocket near a known mutation (e.g., H1047R) may provide a route to selective PI3Kα inhibition. Thus, targeting a mutated, peripheral binding pocket of PI3Kα, provides a valuable therapeutic target for drug development.


As such, kinase inhibitors of lipid kinases such as PI3Kα are prime areas for drug development. One goal is to develop PI3Kα inhibitors that exhibit suitable potency for PI3Kα 's. One goal is to develop PI3Kα inhibitors that exhibit suitable potency for PI3Kα 's that are associated with metastatic disease such as PI3Kα(H1047R) and PI3Kα(E545K). Another goal is to develop PI3Kα inhibitors that exhibit suitable selectivity versus wild-type for mutant PI3Kα 's that are associated with metastatic disease including PI3Kα(H1047R) and PI3Kα(E545K). Another goal is to develop PI3Kα inhibitors that exhibit metabolic stability. A further goal is to develop PI3Kα inhibitors that do not substantially modify the expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes, such as the expression of CYP3A4, where the modified expression of a cytochrome P450 enzyme may affect the metabolic stability of the PI3Kα inhibitors or may affect the metabolic stability of another drug and result in a drug-drug interactions (DDI). Another goal is to develop PI3Kα inhibitors that do not cause adverse events (AEs) such as hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and diarrhea when the PI3Kα inhibitors are administered at an effective dose for inhibiting the activity of PI3Kα and treating a disease or disorder associated with PI3Kα activity. Another goal is to develop PI3Kα inhibitors that do not exhibit substantial activity against targets other than PI3Kα, including other kinases other than PI3Kα.

The term “isomers” refers to compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”. Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomers or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.


The term “modulate”, “modulation”, or “modulating” refers to a biological activity of a compound, or substrate that inhibits and/or activates PI3K.


The term “patient”, or “subject” is a mammal, e.g., a human, mouse, rat, guinea pig, dog, cat, horse, cow, pig, or non-human primate, such as a monkey, chimpanzee, baboon, or rhesus. Preferably, the mammal is human.


The term “therapeutically effective amount” when used in connection with a compound refers to the amount or dose of the compound which upon single or multiple dose administration to the patient, provides the desired effect in the patient under diagnosis or treatment. An effective amount can be determined by one skilled in the art by the use of known techniques and by observing results obtained under analogous circumstances. In determining the effective amount for a patient, a number of factors are considered by the attending diagnostician, including, but not limited to: the species of patient; its size, age, and general health; the specific disease or disorder involved; the degree of or involvement or the severity of the disease or disorder; the response of the individual patient; the particular compound administered; the mode of administration; the bioavailability characteristics of the preparation administered; the dose regimen selected; the use of concomitant medication; and other relevant circumstances.


The term “treating” with regard to a subject, includes restraining, slowing, stopping, or reversing the progression or severity of an existing symptom or disorder.

A flask equipped with overhead stirring was charged with 8-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-3,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-chromen-4-one (20.0 g, 68.0 mmol) and cyclopentyl methyl ether (200 mL). Added 2,4,6-trichloro[1,3,5]triazine (12.5 g, 23.8 mmol) followed by DMF (7.9 mL, 102 mmol) and stirred overnight at rt. The reaction was treated slowly with 2M aqueous NaOH (100 mL) and allowed to stir for 10 min. The reaction was transferred to a separatory funnel and the organic layer removed. The organic layer was diluted with water (100 mL) and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (100 mL). After removal of the aqueous layer, the organic layer was washed with 5% aqueous LiCl. The organic layer was transferred to a flask and solvent swapped with IPA by charging the flask with 200 mL of IPA and concentrating down to 100 mL three times. The slurry was then warmed to 45° C. and stirred at that temperature for 2 h and allowed to cool to rt. The material was treated with 80 mL of water via syringe pump over 4 h and the reaction aged overnight. The product (18.4 g, 87%) was collected by filtration, washed with 40 mL of 1:1 IPA/water and dried at 45° C.

To a solution of 6-chloro-3-[(1R)-1-(3,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-phenyl-chromen-8-yl)ethoxy]pyridine-2-carbonitrile (0.588 g, 1.36 mmol) in EtOH (6 mL) was added triethylamine (0.38 mL, 2.73 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.114 g, 1.64 mmol). The reaction was heated at 80° C. overnight and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by reversed phase chromatography eluted with a gradient of 0 to 100% ACN in H2O+0.1% formic acid. Fractions containing the desired product were combined, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, and extracted with IPA:CHCl3 (1:3). The combined extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (0.180 g, 28%). MS ES+ m/z 464 [M+H]+.


The following compounds in Table 16 were made in a similar way as described for 6-chloro-3-[(1R)-1-(3,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-phenyl-chromen-8-yl)ethoxy]-N′-hydroxy-pyridine-2-carboxamidine. Various methods were used to purify the compounds, which would be apparent to one skilled in the art.

A mixture of 6-chloro-3-[1-[7-chloro-3,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-(3-pyridyl)chromen-8-yl]ethoxy]pyridine-2-carbonitrile (0.070 g, 0.150 mmol) and hydrido(dimethylphosphinous acid-kP)[hydrogen bis(dimethylphosphinito-kP)]platinum(II) (0.013 g, 0.030 mmol) in EtOH (2 mL) and water (2 mL) was stirred at 50° C. for 12 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue purified by reversed phase chromatography on C18 eluted with 0% to 100% ACN in water to give the racemic product (0.033 g, 45%) as a white solid. Chiral separation [Prep-Chiral-HPLC; Phenomenex Lux i-Amylose-3, 30×150 mm, 20-100% EtOH in heptane, 42.5 mL/min] was carried out to give the two title compounds. MS ES+ m/z 484 [M+H]+.


The following compounds in Table 28 were made in a similar way as described for 6-chloro-3-[1-[7-chloro-3,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-(3-pyridyl)chromen-8-yl]ethoxy]pyridine-2-carboxamide. Various methods were used to purify the compounds, which would be apparent to one skilled in the art.

PI3K-Alpha Kinase (PI3Kα) Activity: Wild-Type PI3Kα, H1047R Mutant PI3Kα, and E545K Mutant PI3Kα In Vitro Cell Based Assays and Determination of IC50 Values for Inhibitors


The MDA-MB-453 (ATCC-HTB-131) cell line (PI3Kα H1047R) and MCF-7 (ATCC-HTB-22) cell line (PI3Kα E545K), MDA-MB-361 (ATCC-HTB-27) cell line (PI3Kα E545K), and SKBR3 (ATCC-HTB-30) cell line (wild type PI3Kα) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA). MDA-MB-453 cells were maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Media (DMEM, Gibco 12430) supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum, heat inactivated (FBS HI, Gibco 10082), 1× non-essential amino acids (NEAA, Gibco 11140), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco 11360) and 1× Anti-Anti (Gibco 15240). MCF-7 cells were maintained in Minimum Essential Media (MEM) (Gibco 11095) supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum, heat inactivated (FBS HI, Gibco 10082), 1× non-essential amino acids (NEAA, Gibco 11140), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco 11360), 1× Anti-Anti (Gibco 15240) and 10 μg/mL human insulin (Sigma I 9278). MDA-MB-361 cells were maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Media (DMEM, Gibco 12430) supplemented with 20% Fetal Bovine Serum, heat inactivated (FBS HI, Gibco 10082), 1× non-essential amino acids (NEAA, Gibco 11140), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco 11360) and 1× Anti-Anti (Gibco 15240). SKBR3 cells were maintained in McCoy's 5A (Gibco 16600) supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum, heat inactivated (FBS HI, Gibco 10082), and 1× Anti-Anti (Gibco 15240). Cultures were maintained in a humidified incubator at 37° C. under 5% CO2/95% air.


For compound testing in 0% FBS, MDA-MB-453, MCF-7 and SKBR3 cells were seeded at a density of 1.5×104, 1.0×104, and 1.0×104 cells, respectively, per well in white 384-well plates in 20 μl of Minimum Essential Media (MEM) assay media with 1×NEAA, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, and 1 μg/mL human insulin (Sigma 19278) (Assay Medium); while MDA-MB-361 cells were seeded at a density of 1.5×104 per well in white 384-well plates in 20 μl Assay Medium without insulin. After plating, cells were allowed to attach overnight. Compounds dissolved in 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO were serially diluted 1:3 in DMSO to generate a 10-point dilution series and plated using an acoustic liquid handler system (Echo 550 Series Liquid Handler, Labcyte). A 5× intermediate compound dilution plate in MEM with 1×NEAA and 1 mM sodium pyruvate (150 μM starting compound concentration in 1.5% DMSO) was then prepared. Five μl of the intermediate serially diluted compounds were added to the cell plate to final concentrations ranging from 30 mM to 0.0015 mM in 0.3% DMSO. 0.3% DMSO alone was used to establish the maximum (MAX) signal and GDC-0032 at a final concentration of 1 μM was used as a reference compound for the minimum (MIN) signal. After 3 hours treatment, the medium was removed, and the cells were lysed in 10 μL of 1× SureFire Lysis buffer with shaking for 10 minutes at room temperature. The Acceptor Mix (Reaction Buffer 1+Reaction Buffer 2+Activation Buffer+SureFire Ultra Acceptor Beads) was prepared by diluting Activation buffer 25-fold in combined Reaction Buffer 1 and Reaction Buffer 2.


The Acceptor beads were diluted 50-fold in the combined Reaction Buffers. Five μL of Acceptor Mix was added to each well, the plate was sealed and covered with foil and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. The Donor Mix (dilution buffer+SureFire Ultra Donor Beads) was prepared by diluting Donor Beads 50-fold in dilution buffer. Five μL of the Donor Mix was added to each well and the plate sealed and covered with foil and incubated for 1-2 hours at room temperature in the dark. The plates were read on a Neo2 plate reader instrument from Biotek using standard AlphaLisa settings.


Compounds were tested in duplicate and the % inhibition at each compound concentration was used to generate two dose response curves. One IC50 was generated using average % inhibition at each compound concentration. The data were processed using the Genedata-Screener tool. Relative IC50 values were determined using luminescence units by calculating percent inhibition with respect to the in-plate “MIN” (GDC-0032 reference control) and “MAX” (DMSO) controls. The data was analyzed using a 4-parameter nonlinear logistic equation (four-parameter logistic concentration-response curve):






Y=bottom+[(top−bottom)/1+(X/IC50)slope], where

    • Y=% inhibition,
    • X=concentration of inhibitor,
    • bottom=minimum value of y attained by curve-fit,
    • top=maximum value of y attained by curve-fit and
    • slope=steepness of curve at the IC50.





% Inhibition=[(signal at X−median Min)/(median Max−median Min)]×100

    • IC50: concentration of compound that reduces a given response (ligand binding, enzyme response) by 50%.
    • Relative IC50: concentration giving half the compound's maximum response.


Compound selectivity was calculated by dividing IC50 in SKBR3 by IC50 in cell lines harboring mutant PI3Kα (MDA-MB-453: H1047R; MCF-7 and MDA-MB-361: E545K).
