and the use of the compounds of the present invention for the treatment and/or prevention of hyperproliferative diseases and disorders in mammals, especially humans, and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Src homology region 2 (SH2) containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase encoded by the PTPN11 gene that contributes to multiple cellular functions including proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle maintenance and migration. SHP2 is involved in signaling through the Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase, the JAK-STAT or the phosphoinositol 3-kinase-AKT pathways. SHP2 has two N-terminal Src homology 2 domains (N-SH2 and C-SH2), a catalytic domain (PTP), and a C-terminal tail. The two SH2 domains control the subcellular localization and functional regulation of SHP2. The molecule exists in an inactive, self-inhibited conformation stabilized by a binding network involving residues from both the N-SH2 and PTP domains. Stimulation by, for example, cytokines or growth factors leads to exposure of the catalytic site resulting in enzymatic activation of SHP2.


SHP2 is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues and cell types. It plays an important role in diverse signaling pathways to regulate cellular biological processes and is involved in the signaling pathways of a variety of growth factors and cytokines. Within a single signaling pathway, SHP2 can play both positive (signal enhancing) and negative (signal diminishing) roles intracellular signaling processes. SHP2 is believed to function by dephosphorylating its associated signaling molecules, theerby attenuating the local signaling flow. However, the main effect of SHP2 action in most signaling pathways (e.g. growth factor, cytokine and extracellular matrix receptors) is to enhance signal transduction. For example, SHP2 is a positive regulator of the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway, playing a key role in regulating cellular proliferation and survival (K. S. Grossman et al., Adv. Cancer Res., 2010, 106, 53-89 and references cited therein).


Mutations in the PTPN11 gene that affect the N-SH2 or PTP domain residues involved in basal inhibition of SHP2 result in more readily activatable forms of SHP2 protein, which can lead to unregulated or increased SHP2 activity. Such activated mutants of SHP2 have been associated with developmental disorders such as Noonan syndrome, where nearly all mutated forms of SHP2 demonstrate increased PTP activity. Activating SHP2 mutations have also been detected in juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (e g. Q506P), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (e.g. Y63C), neuroblastoma (e.g. T507K), melanoma (e.g RI38Q), acute myeloid leukemia (e.g, G503V), breast cancer, lung cancer (e.g. E76V) and colorectal cancer (e.g. E76G) (M. Bentires-Alj er al., in Cancer Res. 2004, 64, 8816-8820; and references cited therein). Additional PTPN1 mutations associated with cancers are disclosed in WO 2015/107495 and references cited therein.


Mutations in the PTPN11 gene and subsequently in SHP2 have been identified in several human diseases, such as Noonan Syndrome (NS), Leopard Syndrome, diabetes, neutropenia (Kostmann's syndrome), systemic lupus erythematosus, neuroblastoma, melanoma, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, juvenile leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and other cancers associated with SHP2 deregulation such as cancers of the lung, colon and breast such as HER2-positive breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, ductal carcinoma of the breast, invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, non-small cell lung cancer (including adenocarcinoma of the lung), esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, squamous-cell carcinoma of hhe head and neck (SCCHN) and colon cancer. (N. Aceto et al., Nature Medicine, 2012, 28, 529-538; C. M. Furcht et al., Oncogene, 2013, 32, 2346-2355; V. E. Schneeberger et al., Oncotarget, 2015, 6, 6191-6202; P. Cai et al., Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy 2014, 6, 285-290; and references cited therein).


Therefore, SHP2 represents a highly attractive target for the development of novel therapies for the treatment of various diseases. The compounds of the present disclosure fulfill the need for small molecules to that inhibit the activity of SHP2.


SHP2 phosphatase inhibitors are disclosed e.g. in WO 2015/107493. WO 2015/107494, WO 2015/107495, WO 2016/203404, WO 2016/203405, WO 2016/203406, WO2017/216706, WO2018/013597, WO2018/136264, WO2018/136265, WO2018/057884, WO2018/081091 and J. G. Fortanet et al., J. Med. Chem. 2016, doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.6b00600 and references cited therein. The effects of SHP2 phsophatase inhibition are described e.g. in Y.-N. P. Chen et al., Nature, 2016, doi. 10.1038/nature/18621; J. Wang et al., J. Clin. Invest., 2016, 126, 2077-2092 and references cited therein. SHP2 phosphatase inhibitors include e.g. 8-Hydroxy-7-[(6-sulfo-2-naphthyl)azo]-5-quinolinesulfonic acid (NSC 87077) and SHP099.


However, known compounds such as SHP099 (or the compounds of the WO2015/107493) and/or RMC-4550 (the compounds of the WO2018/013597) do not show a high selectivity over hErg which is very important for the safety of compounds which are intended to be used for the prevention or treatment of diseases.


Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention show superior pharmacokinetic properties (e.g., low clearance and/or high exposure) as compared to known compounds such as SHP099 (or the compounds of the WO2015/107493) or RMC-4550 (the compounds of WO2018/013597).


Thus, there remains a need for highly effective SHP2 inhibitors which do not show the described disadvantages. It was a specific object of the invention to provide improved methods of preventing or treating hyperproliferative diseases and disorders in a host, especially to provide effective SHP2 antagonists for the treatment and prevention of such diseases.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Surprisingly, it has been found that the carboxamide-pyrimidine derivatives according to the invention are highly effective inhibitors of SHP2 and thus they can be used for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases and disorders such as cancer.


Additionally, the compounds of the present invention are highly effective inhibitors of ERK1 2, a target downstream form SHP2 in the signaling pathway (as mentioned above SHP2 is a positive regulator of the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway, ERK phosphorylation depends on SHP2 activation), which is playing a key role in regulating cellular proliferation and survival. This also confirms that the compounds of the present invention can be used for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases and disorders such as cancer.


At the same time, the compounds of the present invention in comparison with the known SHP2 antagonists SHP099, RMC-4550 and similar pyrimidine derivatives surprisingly have a much higher selectivity over hErg (the ion channel Kv11.1). The high hErg inhibitory activity of SHP099, RMC-4550 and similar pyrimidine derivatives clearly point to a potential cardiotoxicity risk, which is avoided by the compounds of the present invention. This improved safety profile of the compounds of the present invention is combined with the more desirable pharmacokinetic properties and enhanced target engagement (lower IC50s). The surprising properties of the compounds of the present invention show a significant needed advancement in the field of SHP2 inhibitors.


The invention relates to carboxamide-pyrimidine derivatives of the general Formula I*,

Compounds of the present invention may form atropisomers, which are conformational isomers in relation to the pyrimidine moiety present in Formulae I, la, Ib, Ic, Id, Ie and If. Atropisomers are stereoisomers arising because of hindered rotation about a single bond, where energy differences due to steric strain or other contributors create a barrier to rotation that is high enough to allow for isolation of individual conformers. There are two different atropisomers that were observed in the compounds of the present invention, which are shown, for example below when R2 is a phenyl substituted with R6, R7 and R8:

The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical preparation comprising the compound according to the present invention and/or one of its physiologically acceptable salts.


The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical preparation according to the invention of this type, comprising further excipients and/or adjuvants.


In addition, the invention relates to an above pharmaceutical preparation according to the invention, further comprising one or more additional therapeutic agent.


The compound of the present invention can be used in its freebase form. On the other hand, the present invention also encompasses the use of the compounds of the present invention in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which can be derived from various organic and inorganic bases by procedures known in the art. The term pharmaceutical salt is used to refer to an ionisable drug that has been combined with a counter-ion to form a neutral complex. Converting a drug into a salt through this process can increase its chemical stability, render the complex easier to administer and allow manipulation of the agent's pharmacokinetic profile. Salt selection is now a common standard operation performed with small ionisable molecules during drug development, and in many cases the drug salts display preferential properties as compared with the parent molecule. Pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms of the compounds of the present invention are for the most part prepared by conventional methods.


In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of the invention may be selected from hydrochloride, sodium, sulfate, acetate, phosphate or diphosphate, chloride, potassium, maleate, calcium, citrate, mesylate, nitrate, tartrate, aluminium, gluconate, benzoate, besylate, and edisylate. In one aspect of this embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is benzoate, besylate, or edisylate.


A pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of the present invention includes solvates of said salts. The term solvate is taken to mean adductions of inert solvent molecules of the compounds of the present invention which form owing to their mutual attractive force. Solvates are, for example, hydrates, such as monohydrates or dihydrates, or alcoholates, i.e. addition compounds with alcohols, such as, for example, with methanol or ethanol.


Compounds of the general formula I may contain one or more centres of chirality, so that all stereoisomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, etc., of the compounds of the general formula I are also claimed in the present invention Thus, the invention also relates to the optically active forms (stereoisomers), the enantiomers, the racemates, the diastereomers and hydrates and solvates of these compounds.


It is furthermore intended that a compound of the formula I includes isotope-labelled forms thereof. An isotope-labelled form of a compound of the formula I is identical to this compound apart from the fact that one or more atoms of the compound have been replaced by an atom or atoms having an atomic mass or mass number which differs from the atomic mass or mass number of the atom which usually occurs naturally. Examples of isotopes which are readily commercially available and which can be incorporated into a compound of the formula I by well-known methods include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine and chlorine, for example 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 31P, 32P, 35S, 18F and 36Cl, respectively. A compound of the formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which contains one or more of the above-mentioned isotopes and/or other isotopes of other atoms is intended to be part of the present invention. An isotope-labelled compound of the formula I can be used in a number of beneficial ways. For example, an isotope-labelled compound of the formula I into which, for example, a radioisotope, such as 3H or 14C, has been incorporated is suitable for medicament and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. These radioisotopes, i.e. tritium (3H) and carbon-14 (14C), are particularly preferred owing to their simple preparation and excellent detectability. Incorporation of heavier isotopes, for example deuterium (2H), into a compound of the formula I has therapeutic advantages owing to the higher metabolic stability of this isotope-labelled compound. Higher metabolic stability translates directly into an increased in-vivo half-life or lower dosages, which under most circumstances would represent a preferred embodiment of the present invention. An isotope-labelled compound of the formula I can usually be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the synthesis schemes and the related description, in the example part and in the preparation part in the present text, replacing a non-isotope-labelled reactant with a readily available isotope-labelled reactant.


In order to manipulate the oxidative metabolism of the compound by way of the primary kinetic isotope effect, deuterium (2H) can also be incorporated into a compound of the formula I. The primary kinetic isotope effect is a change in the rate of a chemical reaction that results from exchange of isotopic nuclei, which in turn is caused by the change in ground state energies necessary for covalent bond formation after this isotopic exchange. Exchange of a heavier isotope usually results in a lowering of the ground state energy for a chemical bond and thus causes a reduction in the rate in rate-limiting bond breakage. If the bond breakage occurs in or in the vicinity of a saddle-point region along the coordinate of a multi-product reaction, the product distribution ratios can be altered substantially. For explanation: if deuterium is bonded to a carbon atom in a non-exchangeable position, rate differences of kM/kD=2-7 are typical. If this rate difference is successfully applied to a compound of the formula I that is susceptible to oxidation, the profile of this compound in vivo can thereby be drastically modified and result in improved pharmacokinetic properties.


The replacement of hydrogen by deuterium in a compound of the formula I can also be used to achieve a favourable modification of the metabolite spectrum of the starting compound in order to diminish or eliminate undesired toxic metabolites. For example, if a toxic metabolite arises through oxidative carbon-hydrogen (C—H) bond cleavage, it can reasonably be assumed that the deuterated analogue will greatly diminish or eliminate production of the undesired metabolite, even if the particular oxidation is not a rate-determining step. Further information on the state of the art with respect to deuterium-hydrogen exchange is given, for example in Hanzlik et al., J. Org. Chem. 55, 3992-3997, 1990, Reider et al., J. Org. Chem. 52, 3326-3334, 1987, Foster, Adv. Drug Res. 14, 1-40, 1985, Gillette et al., Biochemistry 33(10), 2927-2937, 1994, and Jarman et al., Carcinogenesis 16(4), 683-688, 1993.


The invention also relates to mixtures of the compounds of the formula I according to the invention, for example mixtures of two atropisomers and/or two or more diastereomers, for example in the ratio 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:10, 1:100 or 1:1000. These are particularly preferably mixtures of two stereoisomeric compounds. In one embodiment of the present invention, mixtures of atropisomers and/or diastereomers contain at least 80% of the desired conformation. In one aspect of this embodiment, the mixture of atropisomers and/or diastereomers contain at least 85% of the desired conformation. In another aspect of this embodiment, the mixture of atropisomers and/or diastereomers contain at least 90% of the desired conformation. In one aspect of this embodiment, the mixture of atropisomers and/or diastereomers contain at least 95% of the desired conformation. In one aspect of this embodiment, the mixture of atropisomers and/or diastereomers contain at least 98% of the desired conformation.


If desired, the starting materials can also be formed in situ by not isolating them from the reaction mixture, but instead immediately converting them further into the compounds of the formula I.


The compounds of the formula I are preferably obtained by liberating them from their functional derivatives by solvolysis, in particular by hydrolysis, or by hydrogenolysis. Preferred starting materials for the solvolysis or hydrogenolysis are those which contain correspondingly protected amino, carboxyl and/or hydroxyl groups instead of one or more free amino, carboxyl and/or hydroxyl groups, preferably those which carry an amino-protecting group instead of an H atom which is connected to an N atom. Preference is furthermore given to starting materials which carry a hydroxyl-protecting group instead of the H atom of a hydroxyl group. Preference is also given to starting materials which carry a protected carboxyl group instead of a free carboxyl group. It is also possible for a plurality of identical or different protected amino, carboxyl and/or hydroxyl groups to be present in the molecule of the starting material. If the protecting groups present are different from one another, they can in many cases be cleaved off selectively.


The term “amino-protecting group” is generally known and relates to groups which are suitable for protecting (blocking) an amino group against chemical reactions, but which can easily be removed after the desired chemical reaction has been carried out elsewhere in the molecule. Typical of such groups are, in particular, unsubstituted or substituted acyl groups, furthermore unsubstituted or substituted aryl (for example 2,4-dinitophenyl) or aralkyl groups (for example benzyl, 4-nitrobenzyl, triphenylmethyl). Since the amino-protecting groups are removed after the desired reaction or reaction sequence, their type and size is, in addition, not crucial, but preference is given to those having 1-20, in particular 1-8, C atoms. The term “acyl group” is to be understood in the broadest sense in connection with the present process. It encompasses acyl groups derived from aliphatic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic carboxylic acids or sulfonic acids and, in particular, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl and especially aralkoxycarbonyl groups. Examples of such acyl groups are alkanoyl, such as acteyl, propionyl, buturyl, aralkanoyl, such as phenylacetyl, aroyl, such as benzoyl or toluyl, aryoxyaklkanoyl, such as phenoxyacetyl, alkyoxycarbonyyl, such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, BOC, 2-iodoethoxycaronyl, aralkoxycarbonyl. such as CBZ, 4-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl or FMOC. Preferred acyl groups are CBZ, FMOC, benzyl and acetyl.


The term “acid-protecting group” or “carboxyl-protecting group” is likewise generally known and relates to groups which are suitable for protecting a —COOH group against chemical reactions, but which can easily be removed after the desired chemical reaction has been carried out elsewhere in the molecule. The use of esters instead of the free acids, for example of substituted and unsubstituted alkyl esters (such as methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl and substituted derivatives thereof), of substituted and unsubstituted benzyl esters or silyl esters, is typical. The type and size of the acid-protecting groups is not crucial, but preference is given to those having 1-20, in particular 1-10, C atoms.


The term “hydroxyl-protecting group” is likewise generally known and relates to groups which are suitable for protecting a hydroxyl group against chemical reactions, but which can easily be removed after the desired chemical reaction has been carried out elsewhere in the molecule. Typical of such groups are the above-mentioned unsubstituted or substituted aryl, aralkyl or acyl groups, furthermore also alkyl groups. Their type and size of the hydroxyl-protecting groups is not crucial, but preference is given to those having 1-20, in particular 1-10, C atoms. Examples of hyrdoxyl-protecting groups are, inter alia, benzyl, p-nitrobenzoyl, p-toluenesulfonyl and acetyl, where benzyl and acetyl are preferred.


Further typical examples of amino-, acid- and hydroxyl-protecting groups are found, for example, in “Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, fourth edition, Wiley-Interscience, 2007.


The resultant compounds according to the invention can be separated from the corresponding solution in which they are prepared (for example by centrifugation and washing) and can be stored in another composition after separation, or they can remain directly in the preparation solution. The resultant compounds according to the invention can also be taken up in desired solvents for the particular use. Conventional work-up steps, such as, for example, addition of water to the reaction mixture and extraction, enable the compounds to be obtained after removal of the solvent. It may be advantageous, for further purification of the product, to follow this with a distillation or crystallisation or to carry out a chromatographic purification.


It has been surprisingly found that the compounds of the formula I may have advantageous efficacy, selectivity, pharmacokinetic properties, dosing schedule, lower toxicity, and/or physical properties as compared to prior art compounds.


The invention furthermore relates to the use of compounds according to the invention for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of diseases which are caused, promoted and/or propagated by SHP2 or its agonists.


The invention thus also relates, in particular, to a medicament comprising at least one compound according to the invention and/or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, for use in the treatment of physiological and/or pathophysiological states.

In another aspect of this embodiment, the cancer is gastric cancer.


The invention further relates to a medicament comprising at least one compound according to the invention and/or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, for use in the treatment of physiological and/or pathophysiological states selected from the group consisting of hyperproliferative and infectious diseases and disorders, wherein the hyperproliferative disease or disorder is selected from the group consisting of age-related macular degeneration, Crohn's disease, cirrhosis, chronic inflammatory-related disorders, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, granulomatosis, immune hyperproliferation associated with organ or tissue transplantation and an immunoproliferative disease or disorder selected from the group consisting of inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), vascular hyperproliferation secondary to retinal hypoxia and vasculitis.


It is intended that the medicaments disclosed above include a corresponding use of the compounds according to the invention for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of the above physiological and/or pathophysiological states.


It is additionally intended that the medicaments disclosed above include a corresponding method for the treatment of the above physiological and/or pathophysiological states in which at least one compound according to the invention is administered to a patient in need of such a treatment.


The compounds according to the invention preferably exhibit an advantageous biological activity which can easily be demonstrated in enzyme assays and animal experiments, as described in the examples. In such enzyme-based assays, the compounds according to the invention preferably exhibit and cause an inhibiting effect, which is usually documented by IC50 values in a suitable range, preferably in the micromolar range and more preferably in the nanomolar range.


The compounds according to the invention can be administered to humans or animals, in particular mammals, such as apes, dogs, cats, rats or mice, and can be used in the therapeutic treatment of the human or animal body and in the combating of the above-mentioned diseases. They can furthermore be used as diagnostic agents or as reagents.


Furthermore, compounds according to the invention can be used for the isolation and investigation of the activity or expression of SHP2. In addition, they are particularly suitable for use in diagnostic methods for diseases in connection with disturbed SHP2 activity. The invention therefore furthermore relates to the use of the compounds according to the invention for the isolation and investigation of the activity or expression of SHP2 or as binders and inhibitors of SHP2.


For diagnostic purposes, the compounds according to the invention can, for example, be radioactively labelled. Examples of radioactive labels are 3H, 14C, 231I and 125I. A preferred labelling method is the iodogen method (Fraker et al., 1978). In addition, the compounds according to the invention can be labelled by enzymes, fluorophores and chemophores. Examples of enzymes are alkaline phosphatase, β-galactosidase and glucose oxidase, an example of a fluorophore is fluorescein, an example of a chemophore is luminol, and automated detection systems, for example for fluorescent colorations, are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,125,828 and 4,207,554.


The invention therefore furthermore relates to pharmaceutical preparations comprising at least one compound of the formula I and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In particular, the invention also relates to pharmaceutical preparations which comprise further excipients and/or adjuvants, and also to pharmaceutical preparations which comprise at least one further medicament active compound.


In particular, the invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical preparation, characterised in that a compound of the formula I and/or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, is brought into a suitable dosage form together with a solid, liquid or semi-liquid excipient or adjuvant and optionally with one or more additional therapeutic agent.


The pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention can be used as medicaments in human or veterinary medicine. The patient or host can belong to any mammal species, for example a primate species, particularly humans; rodents, including mice, rats and hamsters; rabbits; horses, cattle, dogs, cats, etc. Animal models are of interest for experimental investigations, where they provide a model for the treatment of a human disease.


Suitable carrier substances are organic or inorganic substances which are suitable for enteral (for example oral), parenteral or topical administration and do not react with the novel compounds, for example water, vegetable oils (such as sunflower oil or cod-liver oil), benzyl alcohols, polyethylene glycols, gelatine, carbohydrates, such as lactose or starch, magnesium stearate, talc, lanolin or Vaseline. Owing to his expert knowledge, the person skilled in the art is familiar with which adjuvants are suitable for the desired medicament formulation. Besides solvents, for example water, physiological saline solution or alcohols, such as, for example, ethanol, propanol or glycerol, sugar solutions, such as glucose or mannitol solutions, or a mixture of the said solvents, gel formers, tablet assistants and other active-ingredient carriers, it is also possible to use, for example, lubricants, stabilisers and/or wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts for influencing the osmotic pressure, antioxidants, dispersants, antifoams, buffer substances, flavours and/or aromas or flavour correctants, preservatives, solubilisers or dyes. If desired, preparations or medicaments according to the invention may comprise one or more further active compounds, for example one or more vitamins.


If desired, preparations or medicaments according to the invention may comprise one or more further active compounds and/or one or more action enhancers (adjuvants).


The terms “pharmaceutical formulation” and “pharmaceutical preparation” are used as synonyms for the purposes of the present invention.


As used here, “pharmaceutically acceptable” relates to medicaments, precipitation reagents, excipients, adjuvants, stabilisers, solvents and other agents which facilitate the administration of the pharmaceutical preparations obtained therefrom to a mammal without undesired physiological side effects, such as, for example, nausea, dizziness, digestion problems or the like.


In pharmaceutical preparations for parenteral administration, there is a requirement for isotonicity, euhydration and tolerability and safety of the formulation (low toxicity), of the adjuvants employed and of the primary packaging. Surprisingly, the compounds according to the invention preferably have the advantage that direct use is possible and further purification steps for the removal of toxicologically unacceptable agents, such as, for example, high concentrations of organic solvents or other toxicologically unacceptable adjuvants, are thus unnecessary before use of the compounds according to the invention in pharmaceutical formulations.


The invention particularly preferably also relates to pharmaceutical preparations comprising at least one compound according to the invention in precipitated noncrystalline, precipitated crystalline or in dissolved or suspended form, and optionally excipients and/or adjuvants and/or further pharmaceutical active compounds.


The compounds according to the invention preferably enable the preparation of highly concentrated formulations without unfavourable, undesired aggregation of the compounds according to the invention occurring. Thus, ready-to-use solutions having a high active-ingredient content can be prepared with the aid of compounds according to the invention with aqueous solvents or in aqueous media.


The compounds and/or physiologically acceptable salts and solvates thereof can also be lyophilised and the resultant lyophilisates used, for example, for the preparation of injection preparations.


Pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention may also comprise mixtures of a plurality of compounds according to the invention.


The preparations according to the invention are physiologically well tolerated, easy to prepare, can be dispensed precisely and are preferably stable with respect to assay, decomposition products and aggregates throughout storage and transport and during multiple freezing and thawing processes. They can preferably be stored in a stable manner over a period of at least three months to two years at refrigerator temperature (2-8° C.) and at room temperature (23-27° C.) and 60% relative atmospheric humidity (R.H.).


For example, the compounds according to the invention can be stored in a stable manner by drying and when necessary converted into a ready-to-use pharmaceutical preparation by dissolution or suspension. Possible drying methods are, for example, without being restricted to these examples, nitrogen-gas drying, vacuum-oven drying, lyophilisation, washing with organic solvents and subsequent air drying, liquid-bed drying, fluidised-bed drying, spray drying, roller drying, layer drying, air drying at room temperature and further methods.


The term “effective amount” denotes the amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which causes in a tissue, system, animal or human a biological or medical response which is sought or desired, for example, by a researcher or physician.


In addition, the term “therapeutically effective amount” denotes an amount which, compared with a corresponding subject who has not received this amount, has the following consequence: improvement of one or more symptoms, healing, or elimination of a disease, syndrome, disease state, complaint, disorder or prevention of side effects. “Therapeutically effective amount” also encompasses a reduction in the progress of a disease, complaint or disorder. In the context of cancer treatment, a “therapeutically effective amount” can lead to lessening the tumor burden of a subject, delaying the progression of disease (“progression-free survival”), prolonging the life expectancy of the subject (improving the overall survival), slowing or preventing the metastasis of the primary tumor to other tissues and/or improving the quality of life of the subject undergoing treatment. The term “therapeutically effective amount” also encompasses the amounts which are effective for increasing normal physiological function.


One embodiment of the present invention is the use of preparations or medicaments consisting of compounds according to the invention, and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, for preparations in dosages of between 0.1 and 500 mg, in particular 1 and 300 mg, per use unit. The daily dose is preferably between 0.001 and 250 mg/kg, in particular 0.01 and 100 mg/kg, of body weight. The preparation can be administered one or more times per day, for example two, three or four times per day. However, the individual dose for a patient depends on a large number of individual factors, such as, for example, on the efficacy of the particular compound used, on the age, body weight, general state of health, sex, nutrition, on the time and method of administration, on the excretion rate, on the combination with other medicaments and on the severity and duration of the particular disease.


A measure of the uptake of a medicament active compound in an organism is its bioavailability. If the medicament active compound is delivered to the organism intravenously in the form of an injection solution, its absolute bioavailability, i.e. the proportion of the pharmaceutical which reaches the systemic blood, i.e. the major circulation, in unchanged form, is 100%. In the case of oral administration of a therapeutic active compound, the active compound is generally in the form of a solid in the formulation and must therefore first be dissolved in order that it is able to overcome the entry barriers, for example the gastrointestinal tract, the oral mucous membrane, nasal membranes or the skin, in particular the stratum corneum, or can be absorbed by the body. Data on the pharmacokinetics, i.e. on the bioavailability, can be obtained analogously to the method of J. Shaffer et al., J. Pharm. Sciences, 88 (1999), 313-318.


Furthermore, medicaments of this type can be prepared by means of one of the processes generally known in the pharmaceutical art.


Medicaments can be adapted for administration via any desired suitable route, for example by the oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, pulmonary, nasal, topical (including buccal, sublingual or transdermal), vaginal or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intradermal and in particular intraarticular) routes. Medicaments of this type can be prepared by means of all processes known in the pharmaceutical art by, for example, combining the active compound with the excipient(s) or adjuvant(s).


Suitable for enteral administration (oral or rectal) are, in particular, tablets, dragees, capsules, syrups, juices, drops or suppositories, and suitable for topical use are ointments, creams, pastes, lotions, gels, sprays, foams, aerosols, solutions (for example solutions in alcohols, such as ethanol or isopropanol, acetonitrile, DMF, dimethylacetamide, 1,2-propanediol or mixtures thereof with one another and/or with water) or powders. Also, particularly suitable for topical uses are liposomal preparations.


It goes without saying that, besides the constituents particularly mentioned above, the medicaments according to the invention may also comprise other agents usual in the art with respect to the particular type of pharmaceutical formulation.


The invention also relates to a set (kit) consisting of separate packs of

  • a) an effective amount of a compound of the formula I and/or physiologically acceptable salts, derivatives, solvates, prodrugs, stereoisomers and atropisomers thereof, including mixtures thereof in all ratios, and
  • b) an effective amount of a further medicament active compound.


The set comprises suitable containers, such as boxes or cartons, individual bottles, bags or ampoules. The set may, for example, comprise separate ampoules each containing an effective amount of a compound of the formula I and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and an effective amount of one or more additional therapeutic agents in dissolved or lyophilised form.


Furthermore, the medicaments according to the invention can be used in order to provide additive or synergistic effects in certain known therapies and/or can be used in order to restore the efficacy of certain existing therapies.


Besides the compounds according to the invention, the pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention may also comprise one or more additional therapeutic agents, for example for use in the treatment of cancer, other anti-tumor medicaments. For the treatment of the other diseases mentioned, the pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention may also, besides the compounds according to the invention, comprise further medicament active compounds which are known to the person skilled in the art in the treatment thereof.

In one apsect of this embodiment, the one or more additional therapeutic agents is Erbitux, tepotinib, avelumab, pimasertib or a combination thereof.


In one principal embodiment, methods are provided for enhancing an immune response in a host in need thereof. The immune response can be enhanced by reducing T cell tolerance, including by increasing IFN-γ release, by decreasing regulatory T cell production or activation, or by increasing antigen-specific memory T cell production in a host. In one embodiment, the method comprises administering a compound of the present invention to a host in combination or alternation with an antibody. In one aspect of this embodiment, the antibody is a therapeutic antibody. In one particular embodiment, a method of enhancing efficacy of passive antibody therapy is provided comprising administering a compound of the present invention in combination or alternation with one or more passive antibodies. This method can enhance the efficacy of antibody therapy for treatment of abnormal cell proliferative disorders such as cancer or can enhance the efficacy of therapy in the treatment or prevention of infectious diseases. The compound of the present invention can be administered in combination or alternation with antibodies such as rituximab, herceptin or erbitux, for example.


In another principal embodiment, a method of treating or preventing abnormal cell proliferation is provided comprising administering a compound of the present invention to a host in need thereof substantially in the absence of another anti-cancer agent.


In another principal embodiment, a method of treating or preventing abnormal cell proliferation in a host in need thereof is provided, comprising administering a first a compound of the present invention substantially in combination with a first anti-cancer agent to the host and subsequently administering a second SHP2 antagonist. In one aspect of this embodiment, the second antagonist is administered substantially in the absence of another anti-cancer agent.

If such starting materials are not commercially available, they may be prepared by standard synthetic techniques. In general, the synthesis pathways for any individual compound of Formula(I) and related formulae will depend on the specific substituents of each molecule, such factors being appreciated by those of ordinary skilled in the art. The following general methods and procedures described hereinafter in the examples may be employed to prepare compounds of Formula (I) and related formulae. Those methods are illustrative and are not meant to limit the possible methods one skilled in the art may use to prepare compounds disclosed herein. Reaction conditions depicted in the following schemes, such as temperatures, solvents, or co-reagents, are given as examples only and are not restrictive. It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred experimental conditions (i.e. reaction temperatures, time, moles of reagents, solvents etc.) are given, other experimental conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvents used, but such conditions can be determined by the person skilled in the art, using routine optimisation procedures.

All NMR experiments were recorded on Bruker Avance III 400 NMR Spectrometer equipped with a Bruker PABBO BB-1H/D Z GRD probe at 400 MHz for proton NMR or a Bruker DPX-300 MHz. Most deuterated solvents contained typically 0.03% to 0.05% v/v tetramethylsilane, which was used as the reference signal (set at 0.00 for both 1H and 13C). In cases where the deuterated solvents did not contain tetramethylsilane, the residual non-deuterated solvent peaks were used as a reference signal, as per published guidelines (J. Org. Chem., Vol. 62, No. 21, 1997). Chemical shifts are expressed in parts per million (ppm, b units). Coupling constants are in units of hertz (Hz). Splitting patterns describe apparent multiplicities and are designated as s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), m (multiplet), qt (quintuplet) or brs (broad singlet).

Example 3: Testing Compounds of the Present Invention for Inhibitory Activities Against SHP2 and ERK1 2
SHP2 Biochemical Assay:

The inhibition of SHP2 by compounds of the invention was monitored using the surrogate substrate DiFMUP after protein activation by a peptide bearing two appropriately spaced phosphotyrosine. Full length SHP2 protein (Recombinant HumanSHP-2, E. coli derived Ser2Arg593, N-terminal 6His tag from R&D systems; 0.0.24 nM) was incubated with activating peptide, IRSI_2pY (New England Peptide, 140 nM) and DiFMUP (molecular probes, 80 uM) at RT in buffer (HEPES pH 7.2 60 mM, DDT 5 mM, KCl 75 mM, NaCl 75 mM, EDTA 1 mM, Tween 20 0.05%) in presence of compound (10 concentrations range, top concentration 50 μM) for 60 min. The generation of the DiFMU product by activated SHP2 was monitored through Fluorescence measurement with a PerkinElmer Envision reader.


The inhibitor dose response curves were analyzed with Genedata Screener. IC50 ranges for compounds of the invention are shown in table 4 below.


p-Erk Cellular Assay in MDA-MB-468 and KYSE520:


The effect of SHP2 inhibitors on pERK level was assessed using phospho-specific antibody using Mesoscale quantification platform. For measuring change in pERK levels using mesoscale, 30,000 cells of MDA MB468 and KYSE520 cells were plated in 96-well tissue culture treated plate in 175 ul volume of media. After an overnight incubation at 37° C., various SHP2 inhibitors were added in different concentration to each well maintaining duplicate wells across plates and incubated with compounds for 2 h at 37° C. followed by a wash with ice cold PBS buffer. The cells were then lysed in lysis buffer and processed and analyzed for p-ERK/ERK as per manufacturer's instructions (Mesoscale discovery, cat No. K15107D-3). IC50 ranges for compounds of the invention are shown in table 4 below.

Example 4: In-Vitro Safety Profile—Testing the Selectivity Over hErg

Inhibition of the ion channel hErg (or Kv11.1) current causes QT interval prolongation resulting in potentially fatal ventricular tachyarrhythmia called Torsade de Pointes. This is one of the major causes of cardiotoxicity and hErg channel activity is usually evaluated early in the drug development process to mitigate cardiotoxicity risk.


hERG ion channel activity was assessed using a patch clamp technique in stable Kv11.1 (hERG) transfected human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK293). Whole cell recordings were carried out with an automated patch clamp device Patchliner™ from Nanion Technologies, Munich following manufacturer recommendation. Different concentrations of the test compound or reference, quinidine, were applied to whole cells suspension and current was measured using a pulse pattern with fixed amplitudes. The effect on Kv11.1 (hERG) ion channel activity was judged from the tail current amplitude and Changes in Kv11.1 (hERG) ion channel activity between control value (defined as 100%) and test compound and reported as percent change of control value of COI.

Result

The compounds of the present invention show a much better split between hErg activity (Ki in patch clamp assay) and cell activity (IC50 in KYSE) as compared to known SHP2 inhibitors SHP-099 and RMC-4550. This should translate to less likelihood of cardio toxicity when administered to subjects.


Example 5: Testing the Pharmacokinetic Properties of the Compounds of the Present Invention in Mouse

Female CD1 mice (N=3) received a single oral (gavage) or a single intravenous (bolus) injection of compound. Dosing vehicles were typically given by oral gavage as 0.5% Methocel K4M/0.25% Tween20 in sodium citrate buffer, 0.1M, pH 3.0 or, for IV administration, as a solution in 10% Kolliphor HS15 in Na acetate buffer, 0.01M, pH 4.5. Consecutive blood samples were taken sub-lingually under isofluorane inhalation from animals after 0.083 (IV), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 24 h and were further processed to obtain plasma. Samples were protein precipitated and analyzed by LC/MS/MS.

In strongly SHP2 activating conditions, our compound retains a nM range potency while known inhibitor SHP099 losses several logs in similar conditions. This can be an advantage for treating cancer with strongly activating SHP2 mutations.


Example 6: Activity in U937 Cells

Selected compounds were tested in a cytokine release assay in monocytic cells (U937) to test their anti-inflammatory properties. Cells were plated in a 96-well cell culture plate using serum-free media. The cells were treated with indicated concentrations of SHP-2 inhibitors for 30 minutes followed by overnight stimulation with recombinant IL-6 (50 ng/ml). The MCP-1 production was measured in the culture supernatant using a MCP-1 AlphaLISA kit (Perkin Elmer).


The mixture of compounds (117+118) suppressed MCP-1 production in U937 cells stimulated with IL-6 with an IC50=67 nM (see FIG. 1). This result indicates that compounds of the present invention should be useful for treatment of hyperproliferative disorders associated with the immune system, as described herein.
