Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the field of biological medicines, and relates to a combination of a compound represented by formula (I), an isomer thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which is used as an IAP inhibitor, and an immune checkpoint inhibitor; and use of the combination in the preparation of a cancer treatment drug.


BACKGROUND

The evasion of apoptosis and the escape of immune check are two important pathways for the occurrence and development of tumor. Members of the inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPB) gene family play a role in both pathways through which cancer occurs. Firstly, IAPB, as inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, have their own role in inhibiting the cell apoptosis. IAP inhibitors can inhibit such an anti-apoptotic effect, which in turn acts to promote the apoptosis in tumor cells. Mechanistically, IAP inhibitors bind to the N-terminus of cIAPs, inducing self-ubiquitination and subsequent proteasome-mediated degradation of cIAPs. Thus, tumor cells are rendered more sensitive to TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor α)-mediated apoptosis. Secondly, IAP inhibitors have also been found to have certain immunomodulatory effects. Mechanistically, IAP inhibitors can promote the proliferation of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, as well as the viability of these cells. Meanwhile, they can also promote T cells and NK cells to secrete IL-2, IFN-γ and other cytokines that enhance the tumor immunity.


At present, many drug molecules have entered the clinical research, such as LCL-161, Debio 1143, BI-891065, and ASTX-660. In order to obtain more effective therapeutic agents for clinical use, it can be attempted to administer immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with the immunomodulatory function of IAP inhibitors to achieve the ultimate goal of treating tumors.

Definitions and Description

Unless otherwise specified, the following terms and phrases used herein are intended to have the following meanings. A specific term or phrase, if not particularly defined, should not be considered as uncertain or ambiguous, but should be understood as its ordinary meaning. When a trade name appears herein, it is intended to refer to the corresponding commodity thereof or an active ingredient thereof. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” used herein is intended to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions and/or dosage forms which, within the scope of reliable medical judgment, are suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problems or complications, and commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” is used herein for those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problems or complications, and commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt of a compound of the present disclosure, which is prepared from a compound having particular substituent(s) as found by the present disclosure and a relatively non-toxic acid or base. When a compound of the present disclosure contains a relatively acidic functional group, a base addition salt may be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compound with a sufficient amount of a base in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. When a compound of the present disclosure contains a relatively basic functional group, an acid addition salt may be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compound with a sufficient amount of an acid in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include inorganic acid salts. Certain specific compounds of the present disclosure contain basic and acidic functional groups and thus may be converted to any of base addition salts or acid addition salts.


The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present disclosure may be synthesized from the parent compounds containing acid radicals or basic radicals by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts are prepared by the following method: reacting these compounds in the form of free acid or base with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate base or acid in water or an organic solvent or a mixture of both.


The compounds of the present disclosure may have specific geometric isomeric form or stereoisomeric form. The present disclosure contemplates all such compounds, including cis- and trans-isomers, (−)- and (+)-enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, as well as the racemic mixtures and other mixtures thereof, such as enantiomerically or diastereomerically enriched mixtures, and all these mixtures fall within the scope of the present disclosure. Additional asymmetric carbon atom(s) may be present in the substituent(s) such as alkyl. All these isomers and the mixtures thereof are included in the scope of the present disclosure.


Unless otherwise specified, the term “enantiomer” or “optical isomer” refers to either of a pair of stereoisomers that are the mirror images of each other.


Unless otherwise specified, the term “cis-trans isomer” or “geometric isomer” refers to an isomer resulting from the fact that the double bond or the single bond between ring-forming carbon atoms cannot rotate freely.


Unless otherwise specified, the term “diastereomer” refers to either of a pair of stereoisomers, of which the molecule has two or more chiral centers and which has a non-mirror-image relationship with the other stereoisomer of the molecule.


Unless otherwise specified, “(+)” means right-handed, “(−)” means left-handed, and “(±)” means racemic.


Unless otherwise specified, the wedge-shaped solid-line bond (custom-character) and the wedge-shaped dashed-line bond (custom-character) are used to represent the absolute configuration of a stereogenic center, and the straight solid-line bond (custom-character) and the straight dashed-line bond (custom-character) are used to represent the relative configuration of a stereogenic center. The wavy line (custom-character) is used to represent a wedge-shaped solid-line bond (custom-character) or a wedge-shaped dashed-line bond (custom-character) or the wavy line (custom-character) is used to represent a straight solid-line bond (custom-character) and a straight dashed-line bond (custom-character).


The compounds of the present disclosure may have specific tautomeric forms. Unless otherwise specified, the term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to each of two or more isomers in which different isomeric forms of a functional group are in dynamic equilibrium and may readily convert to each other at room temperature. If tautomers possibly exist (for example, exist in a solution), a chemical equilibrium between the tautomers may be achieved. For example, proton tautomers (also referred to as prototropic tautomers) involve interconversions via proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers involve interconversions via recombination of some bonding electrons. Among them, a specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the interconversion between the following two tautomers: pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one.


Unless otherwise specified, when a compound of the present disclosure has isomers, there are cases where the compound is “enriched in one isomer”, “isomerically enriched”, “enriched in one enantiomer” or “enantiomerically enriched”. The terms “enriched in one isomer”, “isomerically enriched”, “enriched in one enantiomer” or “enantiomerically enriched” mean that the content of one of the isomers or enantiomers is less than 100%, and the content of this isomer or enantiomer is greater than or equal to 60%, or greater than or equal to 70%, or greater than or equal to 80%, or greater than or equal to 90%, or greater than or equal to 95%, or greater than or equal to 96%, or greater than or equal to 97%, or greater than or equal to 98%, or greater than or equal to 99%, or greater than or equal to 99.5%, or greater than or equal to 99.6%, or greater than or equal to 99.7%, or greater than or equal to 99.8%, or greater than or equal to 99.9%.


Unless otherwise specified, when a compound of the present disclosure has isomers, there are cases of “isomeric excess” or “enantiomeric excess”. The term “isomeric excess” or “enantiomeric excess” refers to the difference between the relative percentages of two isomers or two enantiomers. For example, if the content of one isomer or enantiomer is 90% and the content of the other isomer or enantiomer is 10%, then the isomeric or enantiomeric excess (ee value) is 80%.


The optically active (R)- and (9-isomers and D- and L-isomers may be prepared by chiral synthesis, or with chiral reagents, or by other conventional techniques. If an enantiomer of a certain compound of the present disclosure is desired, it may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization that uses a chiral auxiliary, in which the resulting mixture of diastereomers is separated and the auxiliary group is cleaved to provide the desired pure enantiomer. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as amino) or an acidic functional group (such as carboxyl), a salt of the diastereomer is formed by the molecule and an appropriate optically active acid or base, then diastereomeric resolution is performed by conventional methods well known in the art, and the pure enantiomer is obtained by recovery. In addition, the separation between enantiomer and diastereomer is usually accomplished by using chromatography, which adopts a chiral stationary phase and is optionally combined with a chemical derivatization method (for example, the formation of carbamate from amine). The compounds of the present disclosure may contain an atomic isotope in an unnatural proportion at one or more atoms constituting such compounds. For example, the compounds may be labeled with a radioisotope, such as tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or C-14 (14C). For another example, hydrogen may be substituted with heavy hydrogen to form a deuterated drug. The bond formed by deuterium and carbon is stronger than the bond formed by ordinary hydrogen and carbon. Compared with an undeuterated drug, a deuterated drug has advantages such as reduced toxicity and side effects, increased drug stability, strengthened efficacy, and prolonged biological half-life of drugs. All variations of the isotopic composition of the compounds of the present disclosure are included within the scope of the present disclosure regardless of the radioactivity.


The term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a mixture consisting of one or more of the active ingredients or therapeutic combinations thereof of the present disclosure and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The pharmaceutical composition is intended to facilitate the administration of the compound or the therapeutic combination thereof to a subject.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to any preparation or carrier medium capable of delivering an effective amount of the active substance of the present disclosure without interfering with the biological activity of the active substance, and exerts no toxic or side effects on the host or patient. Representative carriers include water, oils, vegetables and minerals, cream bases, lotion bases, ointment bases, etc. Such bases include suspending agents, tackifiers, penetration enhancers, and the like. Their preparations are well known to those skilled in the cosmetics field or the field of drugs for topical administration.


The term “excipient” generally refers to a carrier, a diluent and/or a medium required for the formulation of an effective pharmaceutical composition.


The wording “comprise” and the variants thereof, such as “comprises” or “comprising”, should be understood as having an open and non-exclusive meaning, namely, “including but not limited to”.


The term “treating” means administering a compound or a preparation described in the present application to ameliorate or eliminate a disease or one or more symptoms associated with the disease, and includes:


(i) inhibiting a disease or a disease state, i.e., restraining its development; and


(ii) alleviating a disease or a disease state, i.e., causing the regression of the disease or the disease state.


As for a drug or a pharmacologically active agent, the term “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to a sufficient amount of the drug or medicament that is not toxic but yet capable of achieving the intended effect. For the oral dosage form in the present disclosure, an “effective amount” of one active substance in a composition is the amount required to achieve the intended effect when used in combination with another active substance in the composition. The determination of an effective amount varies from person to person, depending on the age and the general condition of the subject as well as the specific active substance. An appropriate effective amount in a case may be determined by a person skilled in the art based on routine tests.


The terms “administer”, “administration” and “administering” refer to physically introducing the composition comprising a therapeutic agent to an entity using any of a variety of methods and delivery systems known to those skilled in the art. Routes of administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., an anti-PD-1 antibody or an anti-PD-L1 antibody) include intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, spinal, or other parenteral routes of administration, for example, by injection or infusion. The phrase “parenteral administration” used herein refers to modes of administration apart from enteral and local administration, typically by injection, including but not limited to, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intralymphatic, intralesional, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, epidural and intrasternal injection and infusion and in vivo electroporation. In some embodiments, the immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., an anti-PD-1 antibody or an anti-PD-L1 antibody) is administered by a non-parenteral route, and in some embodiments, by oral administration. Other non-parenteral routes include local, epidermal or mucosal routes of administration, for example, intranasal, vaginal, rectal, sublingual or local administration. Administration may also be performed, e.g., once, multiple times, and/or over one or more extended periods of time.


The term “subject” refers to a mammal. In some embodiments, the subject is a mouse. In some embodiments, the subject is a human.


As used herein, “combined use” or “use in combination” means that two or more active substances may be administered to a subject simultaneously or sequentially in any order as a single formulation.


The term “active ingredient”, “therapeutic agent”, “active substance” or “active agent” refers to a chemical entity that may be effective in treating a target disorder, disease or condition.


“Optional” or “optionally” means that the event or situation described later may occur, but not necessarily, and such description includes a case where the event or situation occurs and a case where the event or situation does not occur.


The term “substituted” means that any one or more of the hydrogen atom(s) on a specific atom are replaced with a substituent, which may include heavy hydrogen or variants of hydrogen, as long as the valence state of the specific atom is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is oxygen (i.e., ═O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are substituted. Oxo does not occur on an aromatic group. The term “optionally substituted” means that it may or may not be substituted. Unless otherwise specified, the type and number of substituents may be arbitrary as long as the substitution is chemically feasible.


When any variable (such as R and custom-character) appears more than once in the composition or the structure of a compound, its definition in each case is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 0 to 2 R, the group may optionally be substituted with up to two R, and there are independent options for R in each case. In addition, any combination of variables and/or variants thereof is allowed only in a case where such combination results in a stable compound.


When the number of a linking group is zero, such as —(CRR)0—, it means that the linking group is a single bond.


When one of the variables is selected from a single bond, it means that the two groups linked by this variable are directly linked to each other. For example, when L in A-L-Z represents a single bond, the structure is actually A-Z.


When a substituent is absent, it means that the substituent does not exist. For example, when X in A-X is absent, it means that the structure is actually A. When a substituent may be linked to one or more atoms of a ring, such substituent may be bonded to any atom of the ring. For example, the structural unit




embedded image


means a structural unit in which any position of cyclohexyl or cyclohexadiene may be substituted with the substituent R. When it is not specified that via which atom a listed substituent is linked to a substituted group, such substituent may be bonded via any atoms thereof. For example, pyridyl as a substituent may be linked to the substituted group via any carbon atom of the pyridine ring. When the linking direction of a listed linking group is not specified, the linking direction thereof is arbitrary. For example, when the linking group L in




embedded image


is -M-W—, the ring A and the ring B may be linked by -M-W— to either form




embedded image


in the direction same as the left-to-right reading order, or form




embedded image


in the direction opposite to the left-to-right reading order. Combinations of the linking groups, substituents, and/or variants thereof are allowed only in a case where such combinations result in stable compounds.


Unless otherwise specified, the term “hetero” means a heteroatom or a heteroatom radical (i.e., a heteroatom-containing radical), including atoms other than carbon (C) and hydrogen (H), and radicals containing these heteroatoms, such as oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), aluminum (Al), boron (B), —O—, —S—, ═O, ═S, —C(═O)O—, —C(═O)—, —C(═S)—, —S(═O), —S(═O)2—, and optionally substituted —C(═O)N(H)—, —N(H)—, —C(═NH)—, —S(═O)2N(H)— or —S(═O)N(H)—.


The term “heteroalkyl” per se or in combination with another term refers to a stable linear or branched alkyl radical consisting of a certain number of carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom, or a combination thereof. In a typical example, the heteroatom is selected from B, O, N and S, wherein the nitrogen atom and the sulfur atom are optionally oxidized, and the nitrogen heteroatom is optionally quaternized. The heteroatom or heteroatom radical may be located at any internal position of the heterohydrocarbyl, including the position where the hydrocarbyl is linked to the rest moiety of a molecule. However, the terms “alkoxy”, “alkylamino” and “alkylthio” (or thioalkoxy) are used by convention and refer to those alkyl groups that are linked to the rest moiety of a molecule via an oxygen atom, an amino group, or a sulfur atom, respectively. Examples include, but are not limited to —CH2—CH2—O—CH3, —CH2—CH2—NH—CH3, —CH2—CH2—N(CH3)—CH3, —CH2—S—CH2—CH3, —CH2—CH2, —S(O)—CH3, —CH2—CH2—S(O)2—CH3, —CH═CH—O—CH3, —CH2—CH═N—OCH3 and —CH═CH—N(CH3)—CH3. At most two heteroatoms may appear consecutively, for example, —CH2—NH—OCH3.


Unless otherwise specified, the term “heterocycloalkyl” per se or in combination with other terms refers to a cyclized “heteroalkyl”. In addition, in the case of “heterocycloalkyl”, a heteroatom may occupy the position where the heterocycloalkyl is linked to the rest moiety of a molecule. In some embodiments, the heterocycloalkyl is a 4- to 6-membered heterocycloalkyl; in some other embodiments, the heterocycloalkyl is a 5- to 6-membered heterocycloalkyl. Examples of heterocycloalkyl include, but are not limited to, azetidinyl, oxetanyl, thietanyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrazolidinyl, imidazolidinyl, tetrahydrothienyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, dioxanyl, dithianyl, isoxazolidinyl, isothiazolidinyl, 1,2-oxazinyl, 1,2-thiazinyl, hexahydropyridazinyl, homopiperazinyl, homopiperidinyl, oxepanyl,

Experimental Example I
In-Vivo Drug Efficacy Study 1

To evaluate the tumor immunotherapeutic effect of test drugs in the mouse triple-negative breast cancer EMT6 cell line (EMT6 is from ATCC, cell No.: CRL-2755) transplanted BALB/c mouse model.


Experimental Operation:


BALB/c mice, female, 6-7 weeks old, weighing about 19.1-22.6 g, were housed in separated ventilated boxes with constant temperature and humidity. The feeding room was under the following conditions: temperature: 20-26° C., humidity: 40-70%, ventilation: 10-20 times/h, and light/dark cycle: 12 h/12 h. The Co-60 radiation-sterilized complete pellet feed for mice was supplied continuously and can be taken freely without limitation, and the drinking tap water (used after autoclaving) was supplied continuously by the water bottle and can be taken freely. A total of 144 mice purchased from Shanghai Lingchang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. were used for the study. The BALB/c mice were inoculated with EMT6 cells subcutaneously to establish murine breast cancer models with subcutaneously-transplanted tumors. The mice were administered when the mean tumor volume reached about 97.3 mm3. The test compounds were administered orally once every 3 days at a dose of 50 mg/kg. PD1 mAb (from BioXcell, cat No.: BP0146, batch No.: 695318A1B, clone No.: RMP1-14) was administered intraperitoneally once every 3 days at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Tumor volume was measured every 3 days with a two-dimensional caliper, and the volume was measured in mm3 and calculated according to the following formula: V=0.5 a×b2, where a and b are the long and short diameters, respectively, of the tumor. Anti-tumor efficacy was determined by dividing the mean tumor increase volume of compound-treated animals by the mean tumor increase volume of untreated animals.
