COMPOUNDS AS CD73 INHIBITORS

FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to compounds that are inhibitors of CD73 and are useful in treating CD73-associated diseases or conditions. Compositions containing the compounds of the present disclosure are also provided.

BACKGROUND

CD73 is a 70-kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein normally expressed on endothelial cells and subsets of hematopoietic cells. CD73 is up-regulated by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and after exposure to type I interferons. In steady state, CD73 regulates vascular barrier function, restricts lymphocyte migration to draining lymph nodes, and stimulates mucosal hydration.

CD73 expression on tumor cells has been reported in several types of cancer, including bladder cancer, leukemia, glioma, glioblastoma, melanoma, ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer, esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. (Stagg, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 107(4): 1547-1552). Notably, CD73 expression has been associated with a prometastatic phenotype in melanoma and breast cancer.

There is still a need for new CD73 inhibitors. In this regard, the compounds provided herein address the need.

General Synthetic Methods

The compounds of the present disclosure may be prepared by a number of processes as generally described below and more specifically in the Examples hereinafter (such as the schemes provided in the Examples below). In the following process descriptions, the symbols when used in the formulae depicted are to be understood to represent those groups described above in relation to the formulae herein.

Where it is desired to obtain a particular enantiomer of a compound, this may be accomplished from a corresponding mixture of enantiomers using any suitable conventional procedure for separating or resolving enantiomers. Thus, for example, diastereomeric derivatives may be produced by reaction of a mixture of enantiomers, e.g., a racemate, and an appropriate chiral compound. The diastereomers may then be separated by any convenient means, for example by crystallization and the desired enantiomer recovered. In another resolution process, a racemate may be separated using chiral High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. Alternatively, if desired a particular enantiomer may be obtained by using an appropriate chiral intermediate in one of the processes described.

Chromatography, recrystallization and other conventional separation procedures may also be used with intermediates or final products where it is desired to obtain a particular isomer of a compound or to otherwise purify a product of a reaction.

General methods of preparing compounds according to the present disclosure are depicted in the schemes below, wherein PG is a protecting group; and X¹, X², A, Y, Z, Q, R¹, R², R^1a, R^1b, R⁴, R⁵, and R⁶are as detailed herein.

As shown in Scheme 1, some compounds of this invention can be prepared from Int-1. Int-1 is commercially available or can be prepared by procedures described in the literature. For example, the intermediate where R²=Cl, can be synthesized according to a procedure given in J. Med. Chem., 55, 10414-10423, (2012). Compound Int-1 can be converted into Int-2 by reacting with NBS in an appropriate solvent such as, for example, CHCl₃or CCl₄. Int-2 can be reacted with an alcohol in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydride in a solvent, such as THF, to give Int-3a. Alternatively, Int-2 can be reacted with a primary or secondary amine in the presence of a base, such as, for example, Et₃N or DIEA in a solvent, such as THF or EtOH to give Int-3b. Int-3a and Int-3b can be treated with an organometallic compound to give the metalated species Int-4a or Int-4b, respectively. This halogen-metal exchange of Int-3a to give Int-4a and Int-3b to give Int-4b, respectively, can be accomplished, for example, with n-BuLi, sec-BuLi or tert-Buli or with MeMgBr and iPrMgBr in a solvent such as diethylether, dimethoxyethane, or THF.

The organometallic species Int-4a or Int-4b can be added to the appropriately protected lactone, Int-5a, to give Int-6a, as shown in Scheme 2. The organometallic species Int-4a or Int-4b can also be added to appropriately protected lactone, Int-5b, to give Int-6b, as shown in Scheme 2. Appropriate protecting groups (PG) are known to those skilled in the art and are described, for example, in “Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2014. Int-6a or Int-6b can be reduced to Int-7a or Int-7b, respectively, with a silane in presence of a Lewis acid. For example, Et₃SiH in presence of BF₃—OEt₂will accomplish this reaction. Int-7a and Int-7b can be deprotected to give Int-8a or Int-8b, respectively. Deprotection will be accomplished by methods known to the skilled practitioner and are also described in “Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2014. For example, if the protection group is a benzyl ether (PG=Bn), hydrogen in presence of a catalyst, such as Pd on carbon, or BCl₃in DCM will achieve the deprotection. If the protection group is a silyl ether, the deprotection can be accomplished, for example, by using Bu₄NF in THF. Many other protecting groups and methods for removing them are known to those skilled in the art.

As shown in Scheme 3, Int-8a or Int-8b can be converted into the ((hydroxy-phosphoryl)methyl)phosphonic acid A by reacting with, for example, methylenebis(phosphonic dichloride) in trimethylphosphate followed by hydrolysis in presence of a base, such as, TEAC. Alternatively, Int-8a can be converted into Int-9. The primary alcohol Int-9 can be then be condensed with di-tert-butyl ((tert-butoxy(diisopropylamino)phosphaneyl)methyl)phosphonate, followed by in situ oxidation to provide the methylene bisphosphonate tetraester according to a procedure similar to the one described in Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 56, 2955-2959, (2017). Deprotection of the tetraester gives the methylene bisphosphonate A.

Other compounds of this invention can be prepared as shown in Schemes 4 and 5. Scheme 4 shows an exemplary synthesis of Int-12. Treating the lactone Int-5 with a reducing agent, such as DIBAL-H in a solvent, such as toluene, will give the lactol Int-10a. Other reducing agents, such as lithium triethylborohydride or sodium borohydride will also accomplish this transformation [see e.g. Carbohydr. Res. 432, 17, (2016)].

The conversion of the lactol Int-10 to the acetate Int-10b is achieved by acetylation with acetic anhydride. Treatment of either Int-10a or Int-10b with trimethylsilyl cyanide in an inert solvent, such as DCM, in the presence of a Lewis acid, such as boron trifluoride etherate or InBr₃will give Int-11. Int-11 can be converted to the acid Int-12 by hydrolysis with, for example, AcOH and HCl.

As shown in Scheme 5, Int-13 can be reacted with an alcohol in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydride in a solvent, such as THF, to give Int-14a. Alternatively, Int-13 can be reacted with a primary or secondary amine in the presence of a base, such as, for example, Et₃N or DIEA in a solvent, such as THF or EtOH to give Int-14b. Int-14a and Int-14b can be converted to the alcohol Int-15 with a reducing agent, such as lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH₄), or lithium triethylborohydride (LiEt₃BH). Int-15 is converted to the chloride Int-16 by reacting with SOCl₂, PCl₅or POCl₃. Reaction of Int-16 with potassium phthalimide in a suitable solvent, such as DMF, followed by reaction with hydrazine in a solvent such as water, ethanol or isopropanol gives the amine Int-18. Int-18 can be reacted with the acid Int-12 to yield the amide Int-19. Reaction conditions that are suitable for such amide formation are well known to those skilled in the art. For example HATU and DIEA or N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) are suitable reagents for the formation of amides. Int-19 is cyclized to give Int-20 in the presence of POCl₃in a solvent such as DCE. Int-20 can be deprotected to give Int-21. Deprotection will be accomplished by methods known to the skilled practitioner and are also described in “Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2014. For example, if the protection group is a benzoyl group (PG=Bz), hydrolysis with a base, such as K₂CO₃will achieve the deprotection. If the protection group is a silyl ether, the deprotection can be accomplished, for example, by using Bu₄NF in THF. Many other protecting groups and methods for removing them are known to those skilled in the art. The ((hydroxy-phosphoryl)methyl) phosphonic acid B can be obtained from Int-21 by methods similar to the ones shown in Scheme 3 and described above.

Yet, other compounds of this invention can be prepared as shown in Schemes 6 and 7. As shown in Scheme 6, Int-22 can be brominated by using bromine in acetic acid. The resulting Int-23 is converted to the chloride Int-24 by reacting with SOCl₂, PCl₅or POCl₃. As shown in Scheme 6, Int-24 can be reacted with an alcohol in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydride in a solvent, such as THF, to give Int-25a. Alternatively, Int-24 can be reacted with a primary or secondary amine in the presence of a base, such as, for example, Et₃N or DIEA in a solvent, such as THF or EtOH to give Int-25b. Int-25a and Int-25b can be treated with an organometallic compound to give the metalated species Int-26a or Int-26b, respectively. This halogen-metal exchange can be accomplished, for example, with n-BuLi, sec-BuLi or tert-Buli or with MeMgBr and iPrMgBr in a solvent such as diethylether, dimethoxyethane, or THF.

As shown in Scheme 7 Int-26a or Int-26b can be reacted with Int-5 to give compound Int-27. Int-27 can be converted to Int-28 with a silane in presence of a Lewis acid. For example, Et₃SiH in presence of BF₃.OEt₂will accomplish this reaction. Int-28 can be deprotected to give Int-29. Deprotection will be accomplished by methods known to the skilled practitioner and are also described in “Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2014. For example, if the protection group is a benzyl ether (PG=Bn), hydrogen in presence of a catalyst, such as Pd on carbon, or BCl₃in DCM will achieve the deprotection. If the protection group is a silyl ether, the deprotection can be accomplished, for example, by using Bu₄NF in THF. Many other protecting groups and methods for removing them are known to those skilled in the art. The ((hydroxy-phosphoryl)methyl) phosphonic acid C can be obtained from Int-29 by methods similar to the ones shown in Scheme 3 and described above.

The organic layer was concentrated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel (EA/PE=0-50%) to give 3-[(2S,3R,4R,5R)-4-(benzyloxy)-5-[(benzyloxy)methyl]-3-fluorooxolan-2-yl]-5-chloro-7-{hexahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]pyrrol-2-yl}thieno[3,2-b]pyridine (350 mg, 44.2% yield) as a yellow oil. Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/z=593.1 (M+1).

Step F: To a solution of 3-[(2S,3R,4R,5R)-4-(benzyloxy)-5-[(benzyloxy)methyl]-3-fluorooxolan-2-yl]-5-chloro-7-{hexahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]pyrrol-2-yl}thieno[3,2-b]pyridine (300 mg, 0.51 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) was added BCl₃in DCM (5.1 mL, 5.1 mmol) dropwise at −78° C. under N₂atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at this temperature for 1 h, then the reaction was quenched with methanol:chloroform (1:1, 20 mL). After the reaction mixture reached to rt, it was neutralized with NH₃in methanol (10%, 30 mL) and concentrated.

Then the reaction solution was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. TEAC (0.5 M, 2 mL) was added to the reaction carefully and the reaction was stirred at this temperature for 15 mins, then warmed to room temperature and stirring was continued for 1 h. Trimethylphosphate was extracted using MTBE (2 mL×3), and the aqueous layer was basified with ammonium hydroxide to pH=8. The mixture was purified by Prep-HPLC (Daisogel—C18 250×50 mm, 10 um column) using a gradient of 0.02 mol/L TEAC/ACN from 85:15 to 60:40. Suitable fractions were pooled and lyophilized to give the final product (2R,3R,4S,5S)-5-(5-chloro-7-{hexahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]pyrrol-2-yl}thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-3-yl)-4-fluoro-2-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-3-ol (10.2 mg, 5.3% yield) as a white solid.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES

A variety of assays can be used to evaluate inhibition of compounds for CD73. Compounds of the present disclosure display inhibition of CD73 in the following assays.

Example B1. CD73 Enzyme Assay

Soluble recombinant CD73 catalyzes the conversion of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine and inorganic phosphate. The phosphate detection reagent, PiColorLock™ (Innova Bioscience, Cat #303-0125) is based on the change in absorbance of the dye malachite green in the presence of inorganic phosphate (Pi) and this property can be exploited to measure any enzyme that generates Pi. Recombinant Human 5′-Nucleotidase (CD73) (R&D #5795-EN, CHO derived CD73 (Trp27-Lys547), with a C-terminal 6-His tag) was used in the enzymatic assay. This assay, run in a 384-well plate format (Corning® NBS™ 384 well plates, Cat #3640), is a generic method for measuring inorganic phosphate. The basic assay procedure involves two steps: 1) Enzyme reaction: The CD73 enzyme (R&D #5795-EN) is incubated in the presence or absence of compounds. AMP (sigma, cat #01930) is added to start the kinase reaction. 2) Detection step: Gold mix is added to the assay system, then stabilizers are added. After incubation the absorbance of the solution is read at OD 635 nm. The recorded OD signal is proportional to the enzyme activity.

Briefly, 25 μl human CD73 (0.5 nM final concentration) in the enzymatic buffer solutions (20 mM Tris, 25 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl₂, pH 7.5, 0.005% Tween-20) were mixed with various concentrations of the test compound (dissolved in 100% DMSO). These solutions were incubated for 15 min at 25° C., and subsequently 25 μl AMP (30 μM final concentration) was added to start the reaction. The final reaction mixture of enzyme-substrate-compound was incubated for 20 min at 37° C. Meanwhile ‘Gold mix’ was prepared shortly before use by adding 1/100 vol. of accelerator to the PiColorLock™ Gold reagent. 12 μL/well of the ‘Gold mix’ was added to assay plate containing 50 μL enzyme reaction buffer and incubated at 25° C. for 5 min. 5 μL/well stabilizer was added to the assay plate and incubated at 25° C. for 30 min. The absorbance of the well solutions was measured at 635 nm on a Spark 10M instrument (TECAN).

The percent (%) inhibition at each concentration of a compound was calculated relative to the GD value in the Max and Min control wells contained within each assay plate. The Max control wells contained enzyme and substrate as 0% inhibition, and the Min control wells only contained substrate without enzyme as 100% inhibition. The concentrations and percent inhibition values for a test compound are plotted and the concentration of the compound required to achieve 50% inhibition (IC₅₀) was determined with a four-parameter logistic dose response equation. Results for certain compounds are provided in the table 2 below.
