The present invention relates to a compound that inhibits the activity of CDK kinase, and use of the above compound in the manufacture of a medicament for treating and/or preventing a cancer-related disease mediated by CDK kinase.
Cyclin-Dependent-Kinases (CDKs) are a group of serine/threonine protein kinases, which are closely related to important cellular processes such as cell cycle or transcription regulation. Studies have shown that, instead of exerting kinase activity per se, CDKs exert protein kinase activity by binding to cyclin to form a specific CDK-Cyclin complex, thereby possessing functions such as promoting phase transition of the cell cycle, initiating DNA synthesis, and regulating cellular transcription.
Currently, the CDK family comprises 13 members (CDK1 to CDK13). According to their intracellular functions, they are classified into two major categories: CDKs that control the cell cycle (CDK1, CDK2, CDK4, CDK6, etc.) and CDKs that control the transcription (CDK7, CDK9, etc.). There are 11 subtypes of cyclins, named after A-I, k, and T. Their expressions are transcriptionally regulated and fluctuate regularly during the cell cycle. In the CDK subtypes involved in cell cycle regulation, CDK4/6 plays an irreplaceable role. Cancer-related cell cycle mutations mainly exist in the G1 phase and the G1/S transition process. CDK4/6 binds to Cyclin D to form a complex with a kinase activity, which releases the bound transcription factor E2F through phosphorylation of the oncostatin Rb, initiating transcription of the genes related to the S phase, and prompting cells to pass through the checkpoint and transfer from the G1 phase to the S phase. The specific activation of CDK4/6 is closely related to the proliferation of certain tumors. There is an abnormal cyclin D-CDK4/6-INK4-Rb pathway in about 80% of human tumors. A change in this pathway may accelerate the progression of the G1 phase, resulting in accelerated proliferation and survival advantages of tumor cells. Therefore, it is a treatment strategy to interfere with the pathway, and CDK4/6 becomes one of the anti-tumor targets.
To date, more than 50 CDK inhibitors have been reported, some of which have potential anti-tumor activities. Some broad-spectrum CDK inhibitors have been developed as anti-tumor drugs, and some are undergoing preclinical or clinical trials. New CDK inhibitors are constantly being developed. Flavopiridol, also known as L86-8275 or HMR1275, a current inhibitor for CDK, is a representative of the first generation of CDK inhibitors. It has not entered Phase III clinical trial due to unobvious efficacy and high toxicity.
Recently, some pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Novartis, successively reported a series of CDK inhibitors with better selectivity, which are in clinical trials. Of particular concern are Palbociclib (PD-0332991) developed by Pfizer, Abemaciclib (LY2835219) developed by Eli Lilly, and Ribociclib (LEE011) developed by Novartis.
Palbociclib is a highly specific CDK4- (IC50=0.011 μmol/L) and CDK6- (IC50=0.016 μmol/L) selective inhibitor developed by Pfizer (see Literatures 1 and 2). Palbociclib is inactive for 36 protein kinases including other CDK tyrosine/serine and threonine kinases. In February 2015, Palbociclib was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of patients with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. The successful listing of this compound once again set off a wave of development of CDK inhibitors.
Abemaciclib is an orally effective cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, which targets the CDK4 (cyclin D1) and CDK6 (cyclin D3) cell cycle pathways, and has a potential anti-tumor activity. Abemaciclib specifically inhibits CDK4/6, thereby inhibiting phosphorylation of retinoblastoma (Rb) protein in the early G1 phase. Inhibition of Rb phosphorylation prevents CDK-mediated G1-S transition, such that the cell cycle arrests in the G1 phase, thereby inhibiting DNA synthesis and inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. In March 2017, Eli Lilly announced a successful Phase III clinical study of Abemaciclib in the treatment of breast cancer.
Ribociclib is another orally effective CDK4- and CDK6-selective inhibitor (with IC50 of 10 and 39 nmol/L, respectively) (see Literatures 3 and 4). As expected, Ribociclib inhibits Rb phosphorylation, causes G0/G1 phase arrest, and induces senescence of tumor cells (including melanoma, breast cancer, liposarcoma, and neuroblastoma cells with B-Raf or N-Ras mutation). On Mar. 14, 2017, Ribociclib was approved by the US FDA as a combination regimen with an aromatase inhibitor for the treatment of hormone receptor positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative postmenopausal female patients.
At present, an increasing number of researches focus on this target in the world. CDK-targeting small molecule inhibitor (especially, CDK4/6 kinase inhibitor) drugs have a high development value. There is a large room for development, and it is of great significance for exploring new anti-tumor drugs in this field.

In some embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared into prodrugs. A “prodrug” refers to an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they are easier to administer than the parent drug. For example, in some cases, an active compound itself is difficult to be bioavailable by oral administration, and a prodrug can be used to achieve this goal. The prodrug may have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. Prodrugs may be designed as reversible drug derivatives, to enhance drug transport to site-specific tissues. In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the effective water solubility. See, e.g., Fedorak, et al., Am. J. Physiol, 269: G210-218(1995); McLoed, et al., Gastroenterol, 106: 405-413(1994); Hochhaus, et al., Biomed. Chrom., 6:283-286 (1992); J. Larsen and H. Bundgaard, Int. J. Pharmaceutics, 37, 87(1987); J. Larsen, et al., Int. J. Pharmaceutics, 47, 103 (1988); Sinkula, et al., J. Pharm. Sd., 64:181-210 (1975); T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, the A.C.S. Symposium Series, Vol. 14; and Edward B. Roche, Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, all incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. An non-limiting example of a prodrug would be a compound as described herein which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”) to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is detrimental to mobility but which then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity, once inside the cell where water solubility is beneficial. A further example of a prodrug might be a short peptide (polyamino acid) bonded to an acid group where the peptide is metabolized to reveal the active moiety. In certain embodiments, upon in vivo administration, a prodrug is chemically converted to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the compound. In certain embodiments, a prodrug is enzymatically metabolized by one or more steps or processes to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the compound. A pharmaceutically active compound can be modified to produce a prodrug such that the active compound will be regenerated upon in vivo administration. The prodrug can be designed to alter the metabolic stability or the transport characteristics of a drug, to mask side effects or toxicity, to improve the effect of a drug or to alter other characteristics or properties of a drug. Based on knowledge of pharmacodynamic processes and drug metabolism in vivo, once a pharmaceutically active compound is known, those skilled in the art can design prodrugs of the compound (see, for example, Nogrady (1985) Medicinal Chemistry A Biochemical Approach, Oxford University Press, New York, pages 388-392; Silverman (1992), The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, pages 352-401; and Saulnier, et al., (1994), Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, Vol. 4, p. 1985).
Prodrug forms of the compounds described herein, wherein the prodrug is metabolized in vivo to produce a derivative as set forth herein, are included within the scope of the claims. In some cases, some of the compounds described herein may be prodrugs or other derivatives of active compounds. The compounds described herein encompass compounds comprising isotopes, which are identical to those recited herein in molecular formula and structural formula, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by a nuclide that belongs to the same element but has an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. For example, when hydrogen is present at any position in the compound described herein, it also includes the case where an isotope of hydrogen (e.g., protium, deuterium, tritium, or the like) occurs at that position. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds described herein include, but are not limited to, isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and chlorine, such as, for example, 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, respectively. The compounds described herein that comprise certain isotopes (e.g., radioactive isotopes such as 3H and 14C) are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays.
In additional or further embodiments, the compounds described herein are metabolized upon administration to an organism in need thereof to produce a metabolite that is then used to produce a desired effect, including a desired therapeutic effect.

It should be understood that a reference to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt includes the solvent addition forms or crystal forms thereof, particularly solvates or polymorphs. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and may be formed during the process of crystallization with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Solvates of the compounds described herein can be conveniently prepared or formed during the processes described herein. In addition, the compounds provided herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the compounds and methods provided herein.
Compounds described herein may be in various forms, including, but not limited to, amorphous forms, sphere-shaped forms and nano-particulate forms. In addition, compounds described herein include crystalline forms, also known as polymorphs. Polymorphs include the different crystal packing arrangements of the same elemental composition of a compound. Polymorphs usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shapes, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Various factors such as the recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, and storage temperature may cause a single crystal form to dominate.
The screening and characterization of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, polymorphs, and/or solvates may be accomplished using a variety of techniques, including, but not limited to, thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, vapor sorption, and microscopy. Thermal analysis methods address thermo chemical degradation or thermo physical processes, including, but not limited to, polymorphic transitions, and such methods can be used to analyze the relationships between polymorphic forms, and determine weight loss, to find the glass transition temperature, or for excipient compatibility studies. Such methods include, but are not limited to, Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC), Modulated Differential Scanning calorimetry (MDCS), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Thermogravimetric and Infrared Analysis (TG/IR). X-ray diffraction methods include, but are not limited to, single crystal and powder diffractometers and synchrotron sources.

The following abbreviations are used in the following synthesis schemes:
Step 1:
To a 1 L two-necked flask were added 100 g of Compound 1-1 and 91 g of Compound 1-2, and then 500 mL of dioxane was added as a solvent. A water separator and a condenser were connected. 9 mL of a hydrochloric acid solution (2 mol/L) was added. The mixture was heated to 115° C. and reacted for 1 h. Then, 2 mL of an HCl solution (2 mol/L) was added, and a reaction was conducted overnight at a controlled temperature of 95° C. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. A saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added to adjust the pH to an alkaline value. The mixture was concentrated to remove dioxane, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The resultant organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated, and purified by column chromatography (gradient elution, acetone:n-hexane=1:8 to 1:5) to give 40 g of the product.
Step 2:

In an in vitro cell-free kinase activity assay, the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the compound of the present invention on CDK6/CyclinD1 (trade name: Carna, product No. 04-114) was detected by the method as below. It should be noted that the assay can also be conducted by a similar method. The assay steps in this Test Example are as follows:
The CDK6/CyclinD1 kinase activity was determined using a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) method. Measurements were performed in a reaction volume of 20 μL using 384-well assay plates. The kinase, inhibitor, ATP (at a concentration equivalent to the Km for CDK6/CyclinD1 kinase, trade name: Sigma, product No. A7699), and polypeptide substrate (at a concentration equivalent to the Km for CDK6/CyclinD1 kinase, trade name: Cisbio, product No. 64CUS000C01B) were incubated in a reaction buffer consisting of 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 1 mM EGTA, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.02% Briji35, 0.02 mg/ml BSA, 0.1 mM Na3VO4, 2 mM DTT, and 1% DMSO (pH 7.5) for 1.5 h. The reaction was stopped by adding a mixture of a peptide antibody (trade name: Cisbio, product No. 64CUSKAY) and Sa-XL665 (trade name: Cisbio, product No. 610SAXLB) diluted in HTRF KinEASE detection buffer (trade name: Cisbio, product No. 62SDBRDF, containing EDTA). After the mixture was incubated for 1 hour at room temperature, the plate was read. The TR-FRET signal was measured on a multimode plate reader (EnVision™, a multi-function microplate detector, PerkinElmer) at an excitation wavelength (λEx) of 330 nm and detection wavelengths (λEm) of 615 and 665 nm. The activity was determined by the ratio of fluorescence at 665 nm to that at 615 nm. For each compound, the enzyme activities of different concentrations of the compound were measured to determine IC50. The negative control contained no inhibitor. Two no-enzyme controls were used to determine baseline fluorescence levels. IC50 was obtained by fitting using the GraphPad 6.02 software.
Each Example compound and Reference Example compound were prepared following the schemes described above, as shown in Table 1 for details. 8-10 concentrations were prepared for each compound, and formulated in DMSO. The stock concentration was 200× the working concentration. For example, if the working concentration was 100 nM, the corresponding concentration of the formulated stock solution was 20 μM.
In the analysis of in vitro inhibitory activity on CDK kinase, the IC50 value of each of the Example compounds and Reference Example compounds was determined. The IC50 values are given according to the interval of the IC50 value, where “+++” represents IC50<100 nM; “++” represents 100 nM≤IC50<1000 nM; “+” represents 1000 nM≤IC50<3000 nM; and “−” represents “more than 3000 nM”.
