AXL is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that belongs to the TAM family. AXL regulates important processes such as cell growth, migration, aggregation, and apoptosis. AXL can be activated by a variety of mechanisms including ligand-dependent and ligand-independent mechanisms. Once activated AXL is involved in a variety of signaling pathways including the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway leading to cancer cell proliferation, and also the PI3K/AKT pathway responsible for several pro-survival proteins.
AXL has been shown to be overexpressed in a variety of malignancies. In cancer settings, AXL overexpression is associated with poor patient survival and resistance mechanisms (both targeted and non-targeted).
In view of the research linking AXL inhibition to diseases such as cancer, there is a need in the art for new AXL inhibitors. The present disclosure addresses this need and provides additional advantages over previous AXL inhibitors.
The present disclosure relates to compounds that inhibit the activity of AXL. The compounds are represented by Formula (I):
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, wherein R1, R5, Ring A, and vertices G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5 have the meanings defined herein below.
In a related aspect, provided herein are methods for treating a disease or disorder mediated by AXL in a subject (e.g., a human) comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of at least one AXL inhibitor described herein. Diseases and disorders mediated by AXL include cancer, inflammation, autoimmune disorders and metabolic disorders, as described hereafter. Other diseases, disorders and conditions that can be treated or prevented, in whole or in part, by modulation of AXL activity are candidate indications for the AXL inhibitor compounds provided herein.
Also provided herein is the use of the described AXL inhibitors in combination with one or more additional agents as hereinafter described.
Before the present disclosure is further described, it is to be understood that the disclosure is not limited to the particular embodiments set forth herein, and it is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting.
Where a range of values is provided, it is understood that each intervening value, to the tenth of the unit of the lower limit unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, between the upper and lower limit of that range and any other stated or intervening value in that stated range, is encompassed within the disclosure. The upper and lower limits of these smaller ranges may independently be included in the smaller ranges, and are also encompassed within the disclosure, subject to any specifically excluded limit in the stated range. Where the stated range includes one or both of the limits, ranges excluding either or both of those included limits are also included in the disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, 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.
As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It is further noted that the claims may be drafted to exclude any optional element. As such, this statement is intended to serve as antecedent basis for use of such exclusive terminology such as “solely,” “only” and the like in connection with the recitation of claim elements, or use of a “negative” limitation.
The publications discussed herein are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing date of the present application. Further, the dates of publication provided may be different from the actual publication dates, which may need to be independently confirmed.

As used herein, a wavy line, “A”, that intersects a single, double or triple bond in any chemical structure depicted herein, represent the point of attachment of the single, double, or triple bond to the remainder of the molecule. Additionally, a bond extending from a substituent to the center of a ring (e.g., a phenyl ring) is meant to indicate attachment of that substituent to the ring at any of the available ring vertices, i.e., such that attachment of the substituent to the ring results in a chemically stable arrangement.
As referred to herein, divalent components include either orientation (forward or reverse) of that component. For example, the group “—C(O)NH—” is meant to include a linkage in either orientation: —C(O)NH— or —NHC(O)—, and similarly, “—O—CH2CH2—” is meant to include both —O—CH2CH2— and —CH2CH2—O—.
The terms “halo” or “halogen,” by themselves or as part of another substituent, mean, unless otherwise stated, a fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom. Additionally, terms such as “haloalkyl,” are meant to include monohaloalkyl and polyhaloalkyl. For example, the term “C1-4 haloalkyl” is meant to include trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 4-chlorobutyl, 3-bromopropyl, and the like.
The term “aryl” means, unless otherwise stated, a monocyclic, bicyclic or tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon group. Bicyclic and tricyclic ring systems may be fused together or linked covalently. Non-limiting examples of aryl groups include phenyl, naphthyl and biphenyl. The term is also meant to include fused cycloalkylphenyl and heterocycloalkylphenyl ring systems such as, for example, indane, tetrahydronaphthalene, chromane and isochromane rings. As a substituent group, the point of attachment to the remainder of the molecule, for a fused ring system can be through any carbon atom on the aromatic portion, a carbon atom on the cycloalkyl portion, or an atom on the heterocycloalkyl portion.
The term “heteroaryl” refers to monocyclic or fused bicyclic aromatic groups (or rings) that contain from one to five heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S in a chemically stable arrangement, wherein the nitrogen and sulfur atoms are optionally oxidized, and the nitrogen atom(s) are optionally quaternized. A heteroaryl group can be attached to the remainder of the molecule through a heteroatom or a carbon atom. Non-limiting examples of heteroaryl groups include pyridyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimindinyl, triazinyl, quinolinyl, quinoxalinyl, quinazolinyl, cinnolinyl, phthalazinyl, benzotriazinyl, purinyl, benzimidazolyl, benzopyrazolyl, benzotriazolyl, benzisoxazolyl, isobenzofuryl, isoindolyl, indolizinyl, benzotriazinyl, thienopyridinyl, thienopyrimidinyl, pyrazolopyrimidinyl, imidazopyridines, benzothiaxolyl, benzofuranyl, benzothienyl, indolyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, isothiazolyl, pyrazolyl, indazolyl, pteridinyl, imidazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiadiazolyl, pyrrolyl, thiazolyl, furyl, thienyl and the like.

M., et al, “Pharmaceutical Salts”, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19). Certain specific compounds of the present disclosure contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts.
The neutral forms of the compounds may be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present disclosure.
In addition to salt forms, the present disclosure provides compounds which are in a prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present disclosure. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present disclosure by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present disclosure when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent.
Certain compounds of the present disclosure can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. Certain compounds of the present disclosure may exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms.
Certain compounds of the present disclosure possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds; the racemates, diastereomers, geometric isomers, regioisomers and individual isomers (e.g., separate enantiomers) are all intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure. When a stereochemical depiction is shown, it is meant to refer the compound in which the depicted isomer is present and substantially free of the other isomer(s). ‘Substantially free of’ the other isomer(s) indicates at least an 80/20 ratio of the depicted isomer to the other isomer(s), more preferably 90/10, or 95/5 or more. In some embodiments, one of the isomers will be present in an amount of at least 99%.
The compounds of the present disclosure may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. Unnatural proportions of an isotope may be defined as ranging from the amount found in nature to an amount consisting of 100% of the atom in question. For example, the compounds may incorporate radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or carbon-14 (14C), or non-radioactive isotopes, such as deuterium (2H) or carbon-13 (13C). Such isotopic variations can provide additional utilities to those described elsewhere within this application. For instance, isotopic variants of the compounds of the disclosure may find additional utility, including but not limited to, as diagnostic and/or imaging reagents, or as cytotoxic/radiotoxic therapeutic agents. Additionally, isotopic variants of the compounds of the disclosure can have altered pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present disclosure, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure.
The terms “patient” or “subject” are used interchangeably to refer to a human or anon-human animal (e.g., a mammal).
The terms “treat”, “treating”, treatment” and the like refer to a course of action (such as administering an inhibitor of AXL or a pharmaceutical composition comprising same) initiated after a disease, disorder or condition, or a symptom thereof, has been diagnosed, observed, and the like so as to eliminate, reduce, suppress, mitigate, or ameliorate, either temporarily or permanently, at least one of the underlying causes of a disease, disorder, or condition afflicting a subject, or at least one of the symptoms associated with a disease, disorder, condition afflicting a subject. Thus, treatment includes inhibiting (e.g., arresting the development or further development of the disease, disorder or condition or clinical symptoms association therewith) an active disease.
The term “in need of treatment” as used herein refers to a judgment made by a physician or other caregiver that a subject requires or will benefit from treatment. This judgment is made based on a variety of factors that are in the realm of the physician's or caregiver's expertise.
The terms “prevent”, “preventing”, “prevention” and the like refer to a course of action (such as administering an AXL inhibitor or a pharmaceutical composition comprising same) initiated in a manner (e.g., prior to the onset of a disease, disorder, condition or symptom thereof) so as to prevent, suppress, inhibit or reduce, either temporarily or permanently, a subject's risk of developing a disease, disorder, condition or the like (as determined by, for example, the absence of clinical symptoms) or delaying the onset thereof, generally in the context of a subject predisposed to having a particular disease, disorder or condition. In certain instances, the terms also refer to slowing the progression of the disease, disorder or condition or inhibiting progression thereof to a harmful or otherwise undesired state.
The term “in need of prevention” as used herein refers to a judgment made by a physician or other caregiver that a subject requires or will benefit from preventative care. This judgment is made based on a variety of factors that are in the realm of a physician's or caregiver's expertise.
The phrase “therapeutically effective amount” refers to the administration of an agent (e.g., a compound according to this disclosure) to a subject, either alone or as part of a pharmaceutical composition and either in a single dose or as part of a series of doses, in an amount capable of having any detectable, positive effect on any symptom, aspect, or characteristic of a disease, disorder or condition when administered to the subject. The therapeutically effective amount can be ascertained by measuring relevant physiological effects, and it can be adjusted in connection with the dosing regimen and diagnostic analysis of the subject's condition, and the like. By way of example, measurement of the serum level of an AXL inhibitor (or, e.g., a metabolite thereof) at a particular time post-administration may be indicative of whether a therapeutically effective amount has been used. Additionally, a therapeutically effective dose of the AXL inhibitors of the present disclosure may be an amount that, when administered in one or more doses to a subject, produces a desired result relative to a healthy subject. For example, for a subject experiencing a particular disorder, an effective dose may be one that improves a diagnostic parameter, measure, marker and the like of that disorder by at least about 5%, at least about 10%, at least about 20%, at least about 25%, at least about 30%, at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, or more than 90%, where 100% is defined as the diagnostic parameter, measure, marker and the like exhibited by a normal subject.
The phrase “in a sufficient amount to effect a change” means that there is a detectable difference between a level of an indicator measured before (e.g., a baseline level) and after administration of a particular therapy. Indicators include any objective parameter (e.g., serum concentration) or subjective parameter (e.g., a subject's feeling of well-being).
The terms “inhibitors” and “antagonists”, or “activators” and “agonists” refer to inhibitory or activating molecules, respectively, for example, for the activation of, e.g., a ligand, receptor, cofactor, gene, cell, tissue, or organ. Inhibitors are molecules that decrease, block, prevent, delay activation, inactivate, desensitize, or down-regulate, e.g., a gene, protein, ligand, receptor, or cell. An inhibitor may also be defined as a molecule that reduces, blocks, or inactivates a constitutive activity. Activators are molecules that increase, activate, facilitate, enhance activation, sensitize, or up-regulate, e.g., a gene, protein, ligand, receptor, or cell. An “agonist” is a molecule that interacts with a target to cause or promote an increase in the activation of the target. An “antagonist” is a molecule that opposes the action(s) of an agonist. An antagonist prevents, reduces, inhibits, or neutralizes the activity of an agonist, and an antagonist can also prevent, inhibit, or reduce constitutive activity of a target, e.g., a target receptor, even where there is no identified agonist.
The terms “modulate”, “modulation” and the like refer to the ability of a molecule (e.g., an activator or an inhibitor) to increase or decrease the function or activity of a particular target, e.g., AXL, either directly or indirectly. A modulator may act alone, or it may use a cofactor, e.g., a protein, metal ion, or small molecule. Examples of modulators include small molecule compounds (e.g., the compounds according to this disclosure) and other bioorganic molecules.
The “activity” of a molecule may describe or refer to the binding of the molecule to a ligand or to a receptor; to catalytic activity; to the ability to stimulate gene expression or cell signaling, differentiation, or maturation; to antigenic activity; to the modulation of activities of other molecules; and the like. The term “proliferative activity” encompasses an activity that promotes, that is necessary for, or that is specifically associated with, for example, normal cell division, as well as cancer, tumors, dysplasia, cell transformation, metastasis, and angiogenesis.
As used herein, “comparable”, “comparable activity”, “activity comparable to”, “comparable effect”, “effect comparable to”, and the like are relative terms that can be viewed quantitatively and/or qualitatively. The meaning of the terms is frequently dependent on the context in which they are used. By way of example, two agents that both activate a receptor can be viewed as having a comparable effect from a qualitative perspective, but the two agents can be viewed as lacking a comparable effect from a quantitative perspective if one agent is only able to achieve 20% of the activity of the other agent as determined in an art-accepted assay (e.g., a dose-response assay) or in an art-accepted animal model. When comparing one result to another result (e.g., one result to a reference standard), “comparable” frequently (though not always) means that one result deviates from a reference standard by less than 35%, by less than 30%, by less than 25%, by less than 20%, by less than 15%, by less than 10%, by less than 7%, by less than 5%, by less than 4%, by less than 3%, by less than 2%, or by less than 1%. In particular embodiments, one result is comparable to a reference standard if it deviates by less than 15%, by less than 10%, or by less than 5% from the reference standard. By way of example, but not limitation, the activity or effect may refer to efficacy, stability, solubility, or immunogenicity.
“Substantially pure” indicates that a component (e.g., a compound according to this disclosure) makes up greater than about 50% of the total content of the composition, and typically greater than about 60% of the total content. More typically, “substantially pure” refers to compositions in which at least 75%, at least 85%, at least 90% or more of the total composition is the component of interest. In some cases, the component of interest will make up greater than about 90%, or greater than about 95% of the total content of the composition.
The term “response,” for example, of a cell, tissue, organ, or organism, encompasses a change in biochemical or physiological behavior, e.g., concentration, density, adhesion, or migration within a biological compartment, rate of gene expression, or state of differentiation, where the change is correlated with activation, stimulation, or treatment, or with internal mechanisms such as genetic programming. In certain contexts, the terms “activation”, “stimulation”, and the like refer to cell activation as regulated by internal mechanisms, as well as by external or environmental factors; whereas the terms “inhibition”, “down-regulation” and the like refer to the opposite effects.
Compounds that are selective may be particularly useful in the treatment of certain disorders or may offer a reduced likelihood of undesired side effects. In one embodiment, compounds of the present disclosure are selective over other receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., MER, and/or TYRO3). Selectivity may be determined, for example, by comparing the inhibition of a compound as described herein against AXL with the inhibition of the compound against another receptor tyrosine kinase (e.g., MER, and/or TYRO3). In one embodiment, the selective inhibition of AXL is at least 1000 times greater, 500 times greater, 100 times greater, 50 times greater, 40 times greater, 30 times greater, or 20 times greater than inhibition of other receptor tyrosine kinases.

With reference to ring A, it is understood that ring A is fused to an aromatic ring comprising G3, G4 and G5, and that the presence of ring A does not disrupt the aromaticity of the aromatic ring. Specifically, the ring vertices that fuse the two rings together are sp2 hybridized carbon atoms. Therefore, each of these ring vertices have a p orbital that participates in the conjugated pi system of the aromatic ring. Accordingly, it is understood that all ring A moieties have a point of unsaturation at the fusion point to the remainder of the molecule. For example, cyclopentane at ring A refers to cyclopentene, where the double bond is between the two carbon atoms that fuse to the remainder of the compound.

General methods for the preparation of compounds of the claims
Without limitation, useful methods for constructing the compounds according to this disclosure may consist of four parts, which may be done in any order: connection of the a and b fragments, connection of the b and c fragments, connection of the c and d fragments, or modification of the functional groups present in all fragments. The general retrosynthetic disconnection of the compounds of the disclosure into fragments a-d useful for construction of the compounds is shown below:
Several methods for the preparation of claimed compounds are exemplary (eq. 1-7). Eq. (1) demonstrates one method of forming the bond between fragments a and b via reductive amination. Formation of the bond between the fragments a and b may take place before or after formation of the bond between the fragments b and c. In the case of Eq. (1), the desired amine is connected to the desired ketone via use of a hydride source and acetic acid or any other conditions known for reductive amination.
The relative positions of the amine and ketone may be reversed as well, as exemplified in Eq. (2). Those skilled in the art will recognized that there are other possible conditions which will result in the desired connectivity and product.
Eq. (3) demonstrates another method of forming the a-b fragment though initial condensation and aminal formation of the two partners, followed by addition of a Grignard reagent. This sequence results in an additional alkyl substituent on the carbon atom adjacent to the amine nitrogen atom.
The relative positions of the amine and ketone may be reversed as well, as exemplified in Eq. (4). Those skilled in the art will recognized that there are other possible conditions which will result in the desired connectivity and product. Formation of the a-b fragment as exemplified in Eq. (1)-(4) can occur either before or after formation of the b-c fragment.
Formation of the bond between the fragments b and c may take place before or after formation of the bond between the fragments a and b or fragments c and d. Eq. (5) demonstrates one method to connect the b and c fragments via cross-coupling. Y may be chosen from an appropriate group such as B(OH)2, B(OR)2, ZnCl, MgBr, or SnR3. Z may be chosen from an appropriate group such as Cl, Br, I, OTf, etc. The coupling is mediated by a transition metal catalyst, preferably palladium with an appropriate ligand. The coupling may be assisted by an organic or inorganic base. Use of a protecting group such as SEM, Boc, THP, PMB, MOM, MEM, TIPS, etc. on the bicyclic moiety generally improves the yield and purity of the desired product.
The relative functionalization of the coupling partners may also be reversed, as shown in Eq. (6). Those skilled in the art will recognize there are other possible combinations and conditions which will also result in the desired product.
Formation of the bond between the fragments c and d may take place before or after formation of the bond between the fragments b and c. Eq. (7) demonstrates one method to connect the c and d fragments via cross-coupling. Y may be chosen from an appropriate group such as B(OH)2, B(OR)2, ZnCl, MgBr, SnR3, etc. Z may be chosen from an appropriate group such as Cl, Br, I, OTf, etc. The coupling is mediated by a transition metal catalyst, preferably palladium with an appropriate ligand. The coupling may be assisted by an organic or inorganic base. Use of a protecting group such as SEM, Boc, THP, PMB, MOM, MEM, TIPS, etc. on the bicyclic moiety generally improves the yield and purity of the desired product.
For the most efficient preparation of any particular compound of the disclosure, the timing and order of connection of the fragments and modification of the functionality present in any of the fragments may vary and will be dependent on the functionality present. A variety of the methods described above have been used to prepare compounds of this disclosure, and are exemplified below. Deuterated forms of the below examples can be synthesized using appropriate deuterated intermediates.

Combinations of the AXL inhibitor according to this disclosure with a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor is also contemplated. Exemplary PARP inhibitors contemplated by this disclosure include olaparib, niraparib and rucaparib.
Additional treatment modalities that may be used in combination with an AXL inhibitor include radiotherapy, a monoclonal antibody against a tumor antigen, a complex of a monoclonal antibody and toxin, a T-cell adjuvant, bone marrow transplant, or antigen presenting cells (e.g., dendritic cell therapy), including TLR agonists which are used to stimulate such antigen presenting cells.
In certain embodiments, the present disclosure contemplates the use of the compounds described herein in combination with adoptive cell therapy, a new and promising form of personalized immunotherapy in which immune cells with anti-tumor activity are administered to cancer patients. Adoptive cell therapy is being explored using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and T cells engineered to express, for example, chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) or T cell receptors (TCR). Adoptive cell therapy generally involves collecting T cells from an individual, genetically modifying them to target a specific antigen or to enhance their anti-tumor effects, amplifying them to a sufficient number, and infusion of the genetically modified T cells into a cancer patient. T cells can be collected from the patient to whom the expanded cells are later reinfused (e.g., autologous) or can be collected from donor patients (e.g., allogeneic).
In certain embodiments, the present disclosure contemplates the use of the compounds described herein in combination with RNA interference-based therapies to silence gene expression. RNAi begins with the cleavage of longer double-stranded RNAs into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). One strand of the siRNA is incorporated into a ribonucleoprotein complex known as the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which is then used to identify mRNA molecules that are at least partially complementary to the incorporated siRNA strand. RISC can bind to or cleave the mRNA, both of which inhibits translation.
In certain embodiments, the present disclosure contemplates the use of the compounds described herein in combination with agents that target the extracellular production of adenosine. Such therapeutic agents may act on the ectonucleotidases that catalyze the conversion of ATP to adenosine, including ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 (ENTPD1, also known as CD39 or Cluster of Differentiation 39), which hydrolyzes ATP to ADP and ADP to AMP, and ecto-5′-nucleotidase (NT5E or 5NT, also known as CD73 or Cluster of Differentiation 73), which converts AMP to adenosine. The enzymatic activities of CD39 and CD73 play strategic roles in calibrating the duration, magnitude, and chemical nature of purinergic signals delivered to various cells (e.g., immune cells). Alteration of these enzymatic activities can change the course or dictate the outcome of several pathophysiological events, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, infections, atherosclerosis, and ischemia-reperfusion injury, suggesting that these ecto-enzymes represent novel therapeutic targets for managing a variety of disorders. Exemplary anti-CD39 and anti-CD73 antibodies include ES002023, TTX-030, IPH-5201, SRF-617, CPI-006, oleclumab (MEDI9447), NZV930, IPH5301, uliledlimab (TJD5, TJ004309), and BMS-986179. In one embodiment, the present disclosure contemplates combination with CD73 inhibitors such as those described in WO 2017/120508, WO 2018/094148, WO 2018/067424, and WO 2020/046813. In one embodiment, the CD73 inhibitor is quemliclustat (AB680).
Another approach to targeting the extracellular production of adenosine is to target adenosine A2A and/or A2B receptors. Thus, in some embodiments, this disclosure contemplates the combination of the compounds according to this disclosure with agents that target A2A and/or A2B receptors. Such therapeutic agents can be adenosine 2 receptor (A2R) (e.g., A2A and/or A2B) antagonists. Adenosine can bind to and activate four different G-protein coupled receptors: A1R, A2AR, A2BR, and A3R. The binding of adenosine to the A2aR receptor, which is expressed on T cells, natural killer cells and myeloid cells such as dendritic cells, leads to increased intracellular levels of cyclic AMP and the impairment of maturation and/or activation of such cells. This process significantly impairs the activation of the immune system against cancer cells. In addition, A2AR has been implicated in selectively enhancing anti-inflammatory cytokines, promoting the upregulation of PD-1 and CTLA-4, promoting the generation of LAG-3 and Foxp3+ regulatory T cells, and mediating the inhibition of regulatory T cells. PD-1, CTLA-4 and other immune checkpoints are discussed further herein. Combining A2R antagonists in the combinations described herein may provide at least an additive effect in view of their differing mechanisms of actions. In one embodiment, the therapeutic agent can be an adenosine receptor antagonist as described in WO/2018/136700, WO 2018/204661, or WO 2020/023846. In one embodiment, the adenosine receptor antagonist is AB928 (i.e., etrumadenant).
In certain embodiments, the present disclosure contemplates the use of the compounds described herein in combination with inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks), particularly the PI3Kγ isoform. PI3Kγ inhibitors can stimulate an anti-cancer immune response through the modulation of myeloid cells, such as by inhibiting suppressive myeloid cells, dampening immune-suppressive tumor-infiltrating macrophages or by stimulating macrophages and dendritic cells to make cytokines that contribute to effective T-cell responses thereby decreasing cancer development and spread. PI3Kγ inhibitors include those described in WO 2020/0247496A1.
In certain embodiments, the present disclosure contemplates the use of the compounds described herein in combination with inhibitors of arginase, which has been shown to be either responsible for or to participate in inflammation-triggered immune dysfunction, tumor immune escape, immunosuppression and immunopathology of infectious disease. Exemplary arginase compounds can be found, for example, in PCT/US2019/020507 and WO/2020/102646.
In certain embodiments, the present invention contemplates the use of the AXL inhibitors according to this disclosure with inhibitors of HIF-2α, which plays an integral role in cellular response to low oxygen availability. Under hypoxic conditions, the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription factors can activate the expression of genes that regulate metabolism, angiogenesis, cell proliferation and survival, immune evasion, and inflammatory response. HIF-2a overexpression has been associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with various cancers; hypoxia is also prevalent in many acute and chronic inflammatory disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Exemplary HIF-2α inhibitors include belzutifan, ARO-HIF2, PT-2385, AB521, and those described in WO 2021113436 and WO 2021188769. In some embodiments, the AXL inhibitors according to this disclosure are combined with AB521.
The present disclosure also contemplates the combination of the AXL inhibitors described herein with one or more RAS signaling inhibitors. Oncogenic mutations in the RAS family of genes, e.g., HRAS, KRAS, and NRAS, are associated with a variety of cancers. For example, mutations of G12C, G12D, G12V, G12A, G13D, Q61H, G13C and G12S, among others, in the KRAS family of genes have been observed in multiple tumor types. Direct and indirect inhibition strategies have been investigated for the inhibition of mutant RAS signaling. Indirect inhibitors target effectors other than RAS in the RAS signaling pathway, and include, but are not limited to, inhibitors of RAF, MEK, ERK, PI3K, PTEN, SOS (e.g., SOS1), mTOR (e.g., mTORC1), SHP2 (PTPN11), and AKT. Non-limiting examples of indirect inhibitors under development include RMC-4630, RMC-5845, RMC-6291, RMC-6236, JAB-3068, JAB-3312, TNO155, RLY-1971, BI1701963. Direct inhibitors of RAS mutants have also been explored, and generally target the KRAS-GTP complex or the KRAS-GDP complex. Exemplary direct RAS inhibitors under development include, but are not limited to, sotorasib (AMG510), MRTX849, mRNA-5671 and ARS1620. In some embodiments, the one or more RAS signaling inhibitors are selected from the group consisting of RAF inhibitors, MEK inhibitors, ERK inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, PTEN inhibitors, SOS1 inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, SHP2 inhibitors, and AKT inhibitors. In other embodiments the one or more RAS signaling inhibitors directly inhibit RAS mutants.
In some embodiments, one or more of the additional therapeutic agents is (i) an agent that inhibits the enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (e.g., olaparib, niraparib and rucaparib, etc.); (ii) an inhibitor of the Bcl-2 family of proteins (e.g., venetoclax, navitoclax, etc.); (iii) an inhibitor of MCL-1; (iv) an inhibitor of the CD47-SIRPα pathway (e.g., an anti-CD47 antibody) (v) an isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) inhibitor, e.g., IDH-1 or IDH-2 inhibitor (e.g., ivosidenib, enasidenib, etc.).
The present disclosure contemplates the use of the inhibitors of AXL described herein in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
The tremendous number of genetic and epigenetic alterations that are characteristic of all cancers provides a diverse set of antigens that the immune system can use to distinguish tumor cells from their normal counterparts. In the case of T cells, the ultimate amplitude (e.g., levels of cytokine production or proliferation) and quality (e.g., the type of immune response generated, such as the pattern of cytokine production) of the response, which is initiated through antigen recognition by the T-cell receptor (TCR), is regulated by a balance between co-stimulatory and inhibitory signals (immune checkpoints). Under normal physiological conditions, immune checkpoints are crucial for the prevention of autoimmunity (i.e., the maintenance of self-tolerance) and also for the protection of tissues from damage when the immune system is responding to pathogenic infection. The expression of immune checkpoint proteins can be dysregulated by tumors as an important immune resistance mechanism.
T-cells have been the major focus of efforts to therapeutically manipulate endogenous antitumor immunity because of i) their capacity for the selective recognition of peptides derived from proteins in all cellular compartments; ii) their capacity to directly recognize and kill antigen-expressing cells (by CD8+ effector T cells; also known as cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs)); and iii) their ability to orchestrate diverse immune responses by CD4+ helper T cells, which integrate adaptive and innate effector mechanisms.
In the clinical setting, the blockade of immune checkpoints—which results in the amplification of antigen-specific T cell responses—has shown to be a promising approach in human cancer therapeutics.
T cell-mediated immunity includes multiple sequential steps, each of which is regulated by counterbalancing stimulatory and inhibitory signals in order to optimize the response. While nearly all inhibitory signals in the immune response ultimately modulate intracellular signaling pathways, many are initiated through membrane receptors, the ligands of which are either membrane-bound or soluble (cytokines). While co-stimulatory and inhibitory receptors and ligands that regulate T-cell activation are frequently not over-expressed in cancers relative to normal tissues, inhibitory ligands and receptors that regulate T cell effector functions in tissues are commonly overexpressed on tumor cells or on non-transformed cells associated with the tumor microenvironment. The functions of the soluble and membrane-bound receptor—ligand immune checkpoints can be modulated using agonist antibodies (for co-stimulatory pathways) or antagonist antibodies (for inhibitory pathways). Thus, in contrast to most antibodies currently approved for cancer therapy, antibodies that block immune checkpoints do not target tumor cells directly, but rather target lymphocyte receptors or their ligands in order to enhance endogenous antitumor activity. [See Pardoll, (April 2012) Nature Rev. Cancer 12:252-64].
Examples of immune checkpoints (ligands and receptors), some of which are selectively upregulated in various types of tumor cells, that are candidates for blockade include PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1); PD-L1 (PD-1 ligand); BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator); CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4); TIM-3 (T-cell membrane protein 3); LAG-3 (lymphocyte activation gene 3); TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains); and Killer Inhibitory Receptors, which can be divided into two classes based on their structural features: i) killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), and ii) C-type lectin receptors (members of the type II transmembrane receptor family). Other less well-defined immune checkpoints have been described in the literature, including both receptors (e.g., the 2B4 (also known as CD244) receptor) and ligands (e.g., certain B7 family inhibitory ligands such B7-H3 (also known as CD276) and B7-H4 (also known as B7-S1, B7x and VCTN1)). [See Pardoll, (April 2012) Nature Rev. Cancer 12:252-64].
The present disclosure contemplates the use of the inhibitors of AXL described herein in combination with inhibitors of the aforementioned immune-checkpoint receptors and ligands, as well as yet-to-be-described immune-checkpoint receptors and ligands. Certain modulators of immune checkpoints are currently approved, and many others are in development. When it was approved for the treatment of melanoma in 2011, the fully humanized CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody ipilimumab (YERVOY®; Bristol-Myers Squibb) became the first immune checkpoint inhibitor to receive regulatory approval in the US. Fusion proteins comprising CTLA-4 and an antibody (CTLA4-Ig; abatcept (ORENCIA®; Bristol-Myers Squibb)) have been used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and other fusion proteins have been shown to be effective in renal transplantation patients that are sensitized to Epstein Barr Virus. The next class of immune checkpoint inhibitors to receive regulatory approval were against PD-1 and its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2. Approved anti-PD-1 antibodies include nivolumab (OPDIVO®; Bristol-Myers Squibb) and pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®; Merck) for various cancers, including squamous cell carcinoma, classical Hodgkin lymphoma and urothelial carcinoma. Approved anti-PD-L1 antibodies include avelumab (BAVENCIO®, EMD Serono & Pfizer), atezolizumab (TECENTRIQ®; Roche/Genentech), and durvalumab (IMFINZI®; AstraZeneca) for certain cancers, including urothelial carcinoma. Another approach to target the PD-1 receptor is the recombinant protein composed of the extracellular domain of PD-L2 (B7-DC) fused to the Fc portion of IgGl, called AMP-224. While there are no approved therapeutics targeting TIGIT or its ligands CD155 and CD112, those in development include BMS-986207 (Bristol-Myers Squibb), tiragolumab (Roche/Genentech), OMP-31M32 (OncoMed), etigilimab, ociperlimab, vibostolimab, AB308, and AB154 (domvanalimab).

Selection of the additional therapeutic agent(s) may be informed by current standard of care for a particular cancer and/or mutational status of a subject's cancer and/or stage of disease. Detailed standard of care guidelines are published, for example, by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). See, for instance, NCCN Acute Myeloid Leukemia v1.2022, NCCN Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia v1.2022, NCCN Multiple Myeloma v5.2022, NCCN Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer v3.2022, NCCN Kidney Cancer v4.2022, NCCN Colon Cancer v1.2022, NCCN Rectal Cancer v1.2022, NCCN Hepatobiliary Cancer v1.2022, NCCN Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma vi.2022, NCCN Esophageal and Esophagogastric Junction Cancers v2.2022, NCCN Prostate Cancer v3.2022, NCCN Gastric Cancer v2.2022, Cervical Cancer vi.2022, Ovarian Cancer/Fallopian Tube Cancer/Primary Peritoneal Cancer v1.2022, NCCN Breast Cancer v2.2022.
The AXL inhibitors of the present disclosure may be administered to a subject in an amount that is dependent upon, for example, the goal of administration (e.g., the degree of resolution desired); the age, weight, sex, and health and physical condition of the subject to which the formulation is being administered; the route of administration; and the nature of the disease, disorder, condition or symptom thereof. The dosing regimen may also take into consideration the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse effects associated with the agent(s) being administered and prior or concomitant therapy. Effective dosage amounts and dosage regimens can be determined from, for example, safety and dose-escalation trials, in vivo studies (e.g., animal models).
In general, dosing parameters dictate that the dosage amount be less than an amount that could be irreversibly toxic to the subject (the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)) and not less than an amount required to produce a measurable effect on the subject. Such amounts are determined by, for example, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters associated with ADME, taking into consideration the route of administration and other factors.
In general, the disclosed methods comprise administering a compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, or a composition thereof, in an effective amount to a subject in need thereof. An “effective amount” with reference to an AXL inhibitor of the present disclosure means an amount of the compound that is sufficient to engage the target (by inhibiting, agonizing or antagonizing the target) at a level that is indicative of the potency of the compound. For AXL, target engagement can be determined by one or more biochemical or cellular assays resulting in an EC50, ED50, EC90, IC50, or similar value which can be used as one assessment of the potency of the compound. Assays for determining target engagement include, but are not limited to, those described in the Examples. The effective amount may be administered as a single quantity or as multiple, smaller quantities (e.g., as one tablet with “x” amount, as two tablets each with “x/2” amount, etc.).
In certain embodiments, the AXL inhibitors contemplated by the present disclosure may be administered (e.g., orally, parenterally, etc.) at dosage levels of about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg, or about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.
For administration of an oral agent, the compositions can be provided in the form of tablets, capsules and the like containing from 1 to 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient (i.e., a compound of Formula (I), particularly 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 750, 800, 900, and 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient.
In certain embodiments, the dosage of the desired AXL inhibitor is contained in a “unit dosage form”. The phrase “unit dosage form” refers to physically discrete units, each unit containing a predetermined amount of the AXL inhibitor, either alone or in combination with one or more additional agents, sufficient to produce the desired effect. It will be appreciated that the parameters of a unit dosage form will depend on the particular agent and the effect to be achieved. For intravenous administration, the unit dosage form may contain from 1 to 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient (i.e., a compound of Formula (I), particularly 1, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, or 500 milligrams.
The present disclosure also contemplates kits comprising a compound described herein, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof.

Step a: To a mixture of 5-bromo-3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine (25.0 g, 77.2 mmol), camphorsulfonic acid (1.79 g, 7.72 mmol) and THF (193 mL) at r.t. was added 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (14.1 mL, 154 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 3 hr at 65° C., cooled to r.t., and quenched with 28% wt. NH3(aq) (10 mL). The mixture was concentrated onto silica gel and purified by column chromatography (hexanes:EtOAc, 4:1) to afford the desired product as a white solid (26.8 g; 85%).
Step b: A mixture of 1-bromo-4-(cyclopropylsulfonyl)benzene (12.9 g, 49.3 mmol), B2pin2 (12.5 g, 49.3 mmol), (dppf)PdCl2 (1.80 g, 2.46 mmol), and KOAc (9.67 g, 98.6 mmol) was placed under nitrogen. Degassed dioxane (246 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 1 hr. The mixture was cooled to r.t., concentrated, diluted with EtOAc (250 mL), filtered through celite to remove solids, and again concentrated to afford the desired product which was used crude in step c.
Step c: A mixture of the product from step a (20.1 g, 49.3 mmol), the product from step b (49.3 mmol assumed), (dppf)PdCl2 (3.61 g, 4.93 mmol), and K2CO3 (13.6 g, 98.6 mmol) was placed under nitrogen. Degassed dioxane (197 mL) and degassed water (49 mL) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 4 hr. The mixture was cooled to r.t., concentrated, diluted with CH2Cl2 (250 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (330 g silica gel, CH2Cl2:EtOAc) 0% to 50% gradient (25 min) to afford the desired product as an off-white solid (20.7 g; 91%).
Step d: The desired product was prepared in a similar manner to Example 1, step b and was used crude in step f. CH2Cl2 was used in place of EtOAc as solvent for the filtration step.
Step e: To a mixture of 2-bromo-5,6,8,9-tetrahydro-7H-benzocyclohepten-7-one (5.05 g, 21.1 mmol) and (2R)-2-methylpyrrolidine (2.3 mL, 23.2 mmol) in toluene (100 mL) was added 1H-1,2,3-triazole (1.5 mL, 25.3 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at reflux for 12 h while collecting water via a Dean-Stark trap. Upon cooling, the toluene solution was added over 30 min to a cooled (0° C.) mixture of MeMgBr solution (3M in Et2O, 42 mL, 127 mmol) and THE (84 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, then warmed to r.t. and stirred for 1 h. The reaction mixture was again cooled to 0° C. and sat. aq. NH4Cl was carefully added followed by H2O. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL), then the combined organic layers were washed with 2 N aq. NaOH solution (2×30 mL) and brine, dried over anhyd. MgSO4, and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (100% CH2Cl2 to 10% MeOH in CH2Cl2, 1% NH4OH) followed by iterative precipitation from MeOH afforded the desired product as a white powder (4.44 g; 65%; ˜1:1 d.r.).
Step f: The desired product was prepared in a similar manner to Example 1, step c, except the reaction mixture was stirred at 95° C. for 20 hr and the crude material was purified by column chromatography (330 g silica gel, CH2Cl2:(EtOAc+1% Et3N)) 0% to 100% gradient (20 min); 100% (5 min) to afford the desired product as a light yellow solid (12.7 g; 49%).
Step g: A mixture of the product from step f (12.7 g, 20.3 mmol) and 3M HCl in MeOH (101 mL). was stirred at r.t for 23 hr and diluted with MTBE (750 mL). The precipitated solids were collected by filtration, washing with MTBE. The crude material was purified by column chromatography (4×130 g C18, (H2O/ACN)+0.1% TFA) 5% to 50% gradient (25 min) and the combined fractions were neutralized with sat. NaHCO3(aq) (50 mL). The ACN was removed under vacuum. The precipitated solids were collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried to afford the desired product as a white solid (8.00 g; 73%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.86 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 8.72 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 8.36 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 8.00 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 7.55 (t, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (dt, J=7.6, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.20 (dd, J=7.8, 3.5 Hz, 1H), 3.45-3.26 (m, 1H), 3.25-3.05 (m, 2H), 2.94-2.86 (m, 1H), 2.80 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 2.69-2.48 (m, 3H), 1.96-1.56 (m, 5H), 1.44-1.19 (m, 3H), 1.18-1.10 (m, 2H), 1.10-1.03 (m, 2H), 1.00 (d, J=6.2 Hz, 3H), 0.89 (s, 3H).

The plate was then immediately read utilizing an Envision (Perkin Elmer) plate reader. The BRET signal is measured by taking the ratio of the emissions reading at 610 nm and 450 nm. Compound binding is based on the decrease BRET signal caused by the displacement of the K-5 tracer. DMSO treated activity was used as neutral control and normalized to 100% activity, and CEP-40783 control compound at 20 μM which reaches 100% inhibition was used as positive control and normalized to 0% activity. IC50 value of compounds was determined by 4-parameter non-linear regression fitting of percent activity in GraphPad Prism software. Values are reported in Table 1 (Cell Binding).
Purified recombinant human AXL, TYRO3 and MER proteins were purchased from Invitrogen™. 10 nM AXL, 2 nM TYRO3 or MER were incubated with varying concentrations of compounds in 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% BSA, 1 mM DTT and 2% DMSO in a total volume of 20 μl in a 384-well microplate (Corning™ #3640) at RT for 1 h. The AXL, TYRO3 and MER enzymatic reaction was initiated by transferring 10 μl of enzyme and compound mixture into 10 μl of 1.6 μM TK Substrate-biotin (HTRF® KinEASE-TK kit, Cisbio) and 1400 μM ATP pre-incubated in 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% BSA, 1 mM DTT in a 384-well microplate (Corning™ #3640) at RT, giving the final reaction conditions: 5 nM AXL, 1 nM TYRO3 or MER, 800 nM TK Substrate-biotin and 700 μM ATP in 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% BSA, 1 mM DTT and 1% DMSO with varying concentrations of compounds. Following 2 h incubation at RT, the AXL, TYRO3 and MER enzymatic reaction was stopped by transfer of 10 μl of reaction into 10 μl of detection mix (400 nM Streptavidin-XL665, 200-fold dilution TK Antibody-Cryptate and detection buffer, HTRF® KinEASE-TK kit, Cisbio) in a white 384-well microplate (Perkin Elmer, OptiPlate 384). After 1 h incubation at RT, the plate was put into a plate reader (Evision) to read at 665/620 nm (acceptor/donor) for HTRF. The value of the DMSO blank (MIN inhibition=100% activity) was used as a negative control. The positive control was established by adding 5 μl of enzyme and DMSO mixture into 10 μl of detection mix followed by addition of 5 μl of TK Substrate-biotin and ATP mixture (MAX inhibition=0% activity). To calculate the percent activity, Equation 1 was used. Ratio 665/620 is the value at a given compound concentration:
The concentration of compound that resulted in 50% loss of the enzyme activity (IC50) was calculated by GraphPad Prism using Equation 2 where N is the Hill coefficient:
Values are reported in Table 1 (Biochemical Potency).
