The present invention relates to new chemical compounds which modulates the activity of certain protein tyrosine kinases and methods of making and using the same. The compounds of this invention are therefore useful for treating diseases caused by deregulated protein tyrosine kinases, in general to the field of cancers, more particularly to CNS cancers, preferably glioblastoma.
The present invention relates to compounds which inhibit, regulate and/or modulate protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) signal transduction, compositions which contain these compounds, and methods of using them to treat PTK-dependent diseases and conditions such as angiogenesis, tumour growth and migration.
PTKs are a class of proteins with tyrosine kinase activity that catalyses the transfer of phosphate groups on ATP to the tyrosine residues of many important proteins, the phosphorylated proteins transfer signals to regulate cell growth, differentiation, death and a series of biochemical processes. Tyrosine kinases abnormal expression/activation is also associated with tumour invasion and metastasis, tumour neovascularization and tumour resistance to chemotherapy (Jiao Q et al, Mol Cancer. 2018).
PTKs can be divided in two categories, as receptor type or non-receptor type.
Receptor type tyrosine kinases have an extracellular, a transmembrane, and an intracellular portion, while non-receptor type tyrosine kinases are wholly intracellular. In particular EGFR, a member of the Erb family (a group of four tyrosine kinases sharing similarities in structures and functions: ErbB1 (EGFR or HER1), ErbB2 (HER2), ErbB3 (HER3), and ErbB4 (HER4)), is a cell surface receptor and plays a pivotal role in regulating survival and apoptosis of tumours. Alteration or overexpression of EGFR and its ligands is present in a variety of epithelial tumour cells such as lung, breast, bladder and prostate cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and glioblastoma (Brennan C W et al. Cell 2013).
Another receptor tyrosine kinase with a key role in angiogenesis is KDR, which is also known as vascular endothelial growth factor 2 or VEGFR2, since it binds VEGF with high affinity. VEGF and KDR play an important role in the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells, and the formation and sprouting of blood vessels (vasculogenesis and angiogenesis). Inhibiting KDR modulates the level of mitogenic VEGF activity. In fact, tumour growth has been shown to be susceptible to the angiogenic effect of VEGF receptor antagonists.
The non-receptor type of tyrosine kinase is formed by numerous subfamilies, including Src. The Src subfamily is one of the largest and includes Src, Fyn, Yes, Lck, Lyn, Blk, Hck, Fgr, Frk, Srm and Yrk. Some Src subfamily members has been linked to oncogenesis. Fyn and Yes for example contributes to the development and progression of several cancer types through its involvement in the control of cell growth, death and cellular motility. Enhanced expression and/or activation is observed in different cancers, including melanoma, glioblastoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, breast and prostate cancer. Moreover recently Fyn role in the resistance or susceptibility of cancer cells to some anti-cancer treatment was demonstrated (Elias D et al, Pharmacol Res. 2015).
Accordingly, the identification of small compounds which specifically inhibit, regulate and/or modulate the signal transduction of PTK is desirable and is an object of this invention.
Besides cancer, EGFR, VEGFR2, Fyn and Yes are involved in inflammatory diseases, Central Nervous System degenerative diseases and viral diseases. For instance, EGFR is involved in the pathogenesis of RA (Yuan F L et al, Clin Rheumatol. 2013) and may have a role in neurometabolic disorders (Chen X, et al Med Sci Monit. 2018); VEGFR2 is known to be heavily involved in arthritis, osteoarthritis (Shang L, et al. Med Sci Monit. 2018) and pain (Nagai T, et al. Arthritis Res Ther. 2014); src family kinases such as Fyn and Yes are implicated in inflammation, cartilage degradation (Li K, et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2018), pain (Yang H B, et al. J Neurochem. 2011), neurodegeneration (Nygaard H B, et al. Alzheimers Res Ther. 2014) and viral diseases (Shin J S, et al. Viruses. 2018).

Compounds of Formula (I), according to the invention, have been studied in vitro in order to establish their potential FYN, EGFR and VEGFR2 kinases inhibitory activity, and their efficacy in a cellular model for testing kinase inhibition, as well as to establish the efficacy of the best compounds, resulting from the screening in vitro, in experiments of glioblastoma
The obtained results are summarized in the following Tables
Assays to determine the kinase inhibitory activity of compounds were performed using an automatic liquid handling device (Microlab STAR Hamilton) and Z′-LYTE™ Kinase Assay Platform (Invitrogen), a Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)-based assay platform compatible with high-throughput screening (HTS) applications. The assay employs a fluorescence-based, coupled-enzyme format and utilizes the differential sensitivity of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptides to proteolytic cleavage.
Test compounds were evaluated towards active FYN (CarnaBioscience). The enzyme was incubated in a 384 low-volume microplate with a synthetic peptide-substrate, ATP and different inhibitor concentrations, ranging from 10−10 M up to 10−5 M final concentration. Samples representing the 0% inhibition (or total enzymatic activity) were in the presence of compound diluent (1% DMSO final) in Reaction Buffer (50 mM Hepes, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.01% Brij-35, pH 7.5).
A near-Km ATP concentrations for the kinase and an optimal enzyme concentration that phosphorylates 20-40% of the Z′-LYTE™ Tyr 2 Peptide in a one-hour incubation, were selected. All reagents were diluted in reaction buffer and the kinase reaction was carried out in a total volume of 10 μl, for 60 minutes at 25° C. The 0% Phosphorylation (i.e. no ATP) and 100% Phosphorylation (i.e. synthetically phosphorylated peptide supplied) Assay Controls, included in each plate, allowed to calculate the percent phosphorylation achieved in the specific reaction well. The 0% Inhibition and 0% Phosphorylation (i.e. 100% Inhibition) Controls define the dynamic range in the screen. At the end of incubation, a secondary reaction (the Development Reaction) started by adding 5 μl of Development Reagent, containing a site-specific protease that recognizes and cleaves non-phosphorylated peptides, and was interrupted after 60 minutes with 5 μl/sample of Stop Reagent. Measurement of the Coumarin (Ex. 400 nm, Em. 460 nm) and Fluorescein (Ex. 400 nm, Em. 535 nm) emission signals were performed by a fluorescence plate reader (Envision, PerkinElmer).
Results are expressed as percentage of inhibition and the IC50 values were calculated by non-linear curve fitting using GraphPad™ Prism software.
The FYN kinase inhibitory activity of representative compounds of Formula (I) is reported in the following table.
In this assay, several compounds emerged as inhibitors with IC50 in the nanomolar concentration range. In particular, compounds 5, 11, 15 and 28 were the more active.
The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay (Promega), monitoring ADP produced in the kinase reaction, was performed in two steps. In the first one, after the kinase reaction, the ADP-Glo™ Reagent is added to terminate the kinase reaction and deplete the remaining ATP. In the second step, the Kinase Detection Reagent is added to simultaneously convert ADP to ATP (ATPn or newly synthesized ATP) and introduce luciferase and luciferin, allowing the ATPn to be measured (luciferase/luciferin reaction). The amount of light generated correlates with the amount of ATPn (indirectly with the ADP produced in kinase reaction).
Kinase reaction was performed in 10 μl in a white 384-well plate, inhibitor solutions in DMSO/Kinase buffer (40 mM Tris-Cl, 20 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, 50 μM DTT, pH 7.5) and EGFR kinase in Kinase buffer (SignalChem, 2.5 ng/μl final concentration in assay) were pre-incubate 15 minutes at room temperature. At the kinase concentration selected a signal-to negative control ratio >10 was calculated, according to supplier indication. In samples representing the Total enzymatic activity (no inhibitor) or the negative control (no enzyme), inhibitor solution was replaced by diluents (1 DMSO in kinase buffer, final concentration) or ultra-pure water, respectively.
The range of inhibitor concentrations was from 10−11 M up to 3×10−6 M (final concentration in assay) and each experimental point was performed in duplicate.
To start the reaction, a substrate/ATP mix (ATP 10 μM final concentration, near to ATP Km value) was added to each sample and after 30 minutes incubation at room temperature, ADP-Glo™ Reagent and Kinase Detection Reagent, incubated in sequence according to the respective incubation time and supplier indication, allowed to stop and develop the kinase reaction. The luminescence was measured with a plate-reading luminometer (Envision 2104 Multilabel reader, PerkinElmer). The percentage of inhibition was calculated towards the Total enzymatic activity and the corresponding curves were analyzed by non linear curve fitting (GraphPad software, version 7 for Windows), allowing to calculate the IC50 value±standard error of the estimate.
In this assay, compounds 1, 5, 20, 47 and 48 emerged as the more active.

At the kinase concentration selected, a signal-to negative control ratio >10 was calculated, according to supplier indication. In samples representing the Total enzymatic activity or the negative control (no enzyme), inhibitor solution was replaced by diluents (1 DMSO in kinase buffer, final concentration) or ultra-pure water, respectively.

The luminescence was measured with a plate-reading luminometer (Envision 2104 Multilabel reader, PerkinElmer). The percentage of inhibition was calculated towards the Total enzymatic activity and the corresponding curves were analyzed by non linear curve fitting (GraphPad software, version 7 for Windows), allowing to calculate the IC50 value±standard error of the value
As Tables 19 shows, the more potent VEGFR2 kinase inhibitors of Formula (I) resulted to be compounds 23, 28, 29, 30, 32, 47 and 48. Advantageous compounds hence are those with pyrazolo-pyridinic core.

At the kinase concentration selected, a signal-to negative control ratio >10 was calculated, according to supplier indication. In samples representing the Total enzymatic activity or the negative control (no enzyme), inhibitor solution was replaced by diluents (1 DMSO in kinase buffer, final concentration) or ultra-pure water, respectively.

Compound 5 inhibited YES in a concentration dependent way (IC50 3.6 nM).
HEK293 cells (Human Embryonic Kidney 293) were seeded at 6×105 in poly-D-lysine 12 w microplates and grown adherent in medium DMEM/10% FBS at 37° C. with 5% CO2. After 24 h, cells were transfected in order to over-express either constitutively active form of human FynB and Tau protein (isoform 0N4R), through an optimized Lipofectamine® 3000 Transfection protocol (Life Technologies™). A non-transfected sample (negative control) was included in every experiment.
Twenty-four hours from transfection, treatments of cells were performed by adding fresh medium containing diluent (DMSO 0.1% final concentration) or test compounds. The incubation was carried out for 6 or 24 hours at 37° C. with 5% CO2. All experimental conditions were performed in duplicate.
At the end of the incubation, the medium was removed and cellular lysates were obtained by adding M-PER lysis buffer containing a 1× Protease/Phosphatase inhibitors cocktail. Then, lysates were transferred into Eppendorf tubes, sonicated and stored at −80° C.
Protein content was measured by Bradford method. Lysates were analyzed by a customized ELISA assay for Tau phosphorylation (Tyrosine 18 residue-Fyn mediated) and Total amount determination. The net OD values were used to calculate the inhibitory effect of compounds.
In this cell test, the compounds 5, 20, 23, 28 and 48 emerged as the best inhibitors.
U87MG cells (Uppsala 87 Malignant Glioma, a human glioblastoma cell line from ATCC) were plated at 3×105 cells/well in 12 w microplates and grown adherent in medium DMEM+10% FBS at 37° C. with 5% CO2. After 24 h, medium was removed and starvation was induced overnight in medium DMEM+0.1% FBS (medium starvation). At the end of incubation, treatment of cells was performed by medium replacement and by adding fresh medium containing or not diluent or test compounds (DMSO 0.1% final concentration) diluted in medium starvation. After 1 hour, EGF stimuli (diluted in medium starvation, 10 ng/ml final concentration) was added to each sample, with the exception of basal sample; plate was then incubated for 15 min at 37° C. with 5% CO2. At the end of the incubation, the medium was removed and cellular lysates were obtained by adding M-PER lysis buffer containing 1× Protease/Phosphatase inhibitors cocktail. Then, lysates were transferred into Eppendorf tubes, sonicated and stored at −80° C.
Protein content was measured by Bradford method. Lysates were analyzed by Western blot for EGFR phosphorylation (Tyrosine 1068) and total receptor amount determination. Densitometric analysis of sample lanes were performed by ImageQuant TL software (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). Each sample value was normalized by respective actin; resulting data were used to calculate inhibitory effect of compounds with respect to stimuli control (absence of inhibitor). Compound 5 inhibited EGFR-phosphorylation in a concentration dependent way (IC50 of 3 μM).
HUVEC-C cells (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells from ATCC) were plated at 6×104 cells/well in 24 w microplates and grown adherent in medium F12K+0.1 mg/ml Heparin+0.05 mg/ml ECGS+10% FBS at 37° C. with 5% CO2. After 24 h, medium was removed and starvation was induced overnight in medium F12K+0.1 mg/ml Heparin+0.5% FBS (medium starvation). At the end of incubation, treatment of cells was performed by medium replacement and by adding fresh medium containing or not diluent or test compounds (DMSO 0.1% final concentration) diluted in medium starvation. After 1 hour, VEGF stimuli (diluted in medium starvation, 50 ng/ml final concentration) was added to each sample, with the exception of basal sample; plate was then incubated for 5 min at 37° C. with 5% CO2. At the end of the incubation, the medium was removed and cellular lysates were obtained by adding M-PER lysis buffer containing 1× Protease/Phosphatase inhibitors cocktail. Then, lysates were transferred into Eppendorf tubes, sonicated and stored at −80° C.
