Provided herein are compounds and pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the selective inhibition of histone lysine demethylase-5 (KDM5), particularly KDM5B, and methods for their use in treating conditions and diseases modulated by KDM5 activity.
Epigenetic enzymes modify DNA or histones by adding or removing chemical markers including methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination. These alterations modify the interactions between histones and DNA and lead to local changes in chromatin structure that silence or activate local genes. Histone Demethylases (HDMs) are a class of epigenetic enzyme that remove methyl groups from histone lysine residues, in particular lysine residues 4 (H3K4), 9 (H3K9), 27 (H3K27), 36 (H3K36), and 79 (H3K79) on histone 3, and lysine residue 20 (H4K20) on histone 4. Although there is some literature on the roles of HDMs in non-cancer settings (e.g. inflammation and wound healing), the vast majority of the current HDM literature is in cancer where HDMs are frequently over-expressed and where genetic approaches support pro-tumorigenic HDM functions.
At least 17 different HDMs have been identified so far. While the first and most studied HDMs belong to the lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1; also known as KDM1) family of amine oxidases, the remainder are all Jumonji C (JmjC) domain containing Fe(II)-dependent and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent dioxygenases. The JmjC domain is responsible for the demethylation activity by first hydroxylating histone lysine methylamine groups utilizing oxygen and 2-OG, which is then followed by the spontaneous loss of the unstable hydroxymethyl group. (See, e.g., Loenarz and Schofield (2008) Nat Chem Biol 4(3):152-6; Ozer et al (2007) Nat Chem Biol 3(3):144-53.)
The KDM5, or JARID1, family of JmjC HDMs includes KDM5A (JARID1A/RBP2), KDM5B (JARID1B/PLU-1), KDM5C (JARID1C/SMCX), and KDM5D (JARID1D/SMCY). These enzymes can act on di- and trimethylated H3K4 and demethylate H3K4me3/me2/me. There are numerous reports of pro-tumorigenic functions for KDM5A, KDM5B, and KDM5C. (See, e.g., Tang et al (2015) Oncotarget 6(14):12723-39.) For example, KDM5B has been implicated in the development of prostate, breast, and skin cancer and also has been associated with melanoma maintenance. (See, e.g., Han et al. (2017) Oncotarget 8(5):8980-8991.) KDM5B is also overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and is associated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis, advanced stages, and poor overall survival in NSCLC patients. (Kuo et al. (2018) Clin Epigenetics 10(1):107.)
There remains a need for compounds that are effective in the treatment and prevention of conditions and disorders associated with KDM5 and, in particular KDM5B, including various cancers. The compounds provided herein inhibit KDM5 activity and can be used to treat and prevent KDM5-associated disorders such as cancer.

In certain embodiments, provided is a method of preparing a compound of Formula I, comprising contacting a compound of Formula I-1:
and
R5-A I-7
Scheme I illustrates a general method which can be employed for the synthesis of compounds described herein, where W, X, R1, R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, R8, and R9 are defined herein, Y and Z are hydrogen or leaving groups (e.g.; halo, such as Cl, Br, or I, or a pseudohalide, such as a triflate, sulfonate, or phosphate), the transformation of which is known to those of skill in the art, A and B are boronic acid, zinc(II) halide (e.g., —ZnBr or —ZnCl), trialkyltin (e.g., —SnBu3), fluorosulfonyl esters, tin, zinc, sodium, or hydrogen, R51 is C1-6 alkyl, C2-6 alkenyl, C2-6 alkynyl, C1-6 haloalkyl, C3-10 cycloalkyl, C3-10 cycloalkenyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, and R52 and R53 are each independently C1-6 alkoxy, —O—C2-6 alkenyl, —O—C2-6 alkynyl, —O—C1-6 haloalkyl, —O—C3-10 cycloalkyl, —O—C3-10 cycloalkenyl, —O— heterocyclyl, —O-aryl, or —O-heteroaryl.
In Scheme I, Y and A, and Z and B are complimentary cross-coupling substituents, and W, X, R1, R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R51, R52, and R53 are defined herein.
Referring to Scheme I, a compound of Formula I-2 is exposed to a base, for example n-butyl lithium, then reacted with a compound of Formula I-1 to produce phosphine oxides I-3. The compound of Formula I-3 can then be treated with a compound of Formula I-4, to provide compounds of Formula I-5. In certain embodiments, when control of stereochemistry is desired, proper control of reaction conditions and selection of substituents for the reagents and compounds of Formula I-3 and Formula I-4 can at least partially dictate the formation of E or Z isomers of Formula I-5, allowing for the stereocontrol of substituents R6, R7, R8, and R9 on subsequent fully-saturated compounds of Formula I-6. Further derivatization of α,β-unsaturated dioxo compounds of Formula I-5, transformations which are known to those of skill in the art, or exposure to standard reducing conditions, provides compounds of Formula I-6. A compound of Formula I-6 is coupled to compounds of Formula I-7 under standard cross coupling conditions to produce compounds of Formula I-8, which can be further coupled to compounds of Formula I-9 under standard cross coupling conditions to produce compounds of Formula I. Compounds of Formula I can be transesterified or hydrolyzed using methods known to one of skill in the art. For example, compounds of Formula I-8 are prepared by contacting compounds of Formula I-6, wherein Y is a leaving group (e.g., halo, such as Cl, Br, or I, or a pseudohalide, such as a triflate, sulfonate, or phosphate), with compounds of Formula I-7, wherein A is a suitable functional group such as, but not limited to, a boronic acid or a derivative thereof, such as a boronic ester, zinc or magnesium halide, an organotin compound, such as tributylstannane or trimethylstannane, fluorosulfonyl esters, tin, sodium, hydrogen, and the like. Similarly, compounds of Formula I are prepared by contacting compounds of Formula I-8, wherein Z is a leaving group (e.g., halo, such as Cl, Br, or I, or a pseudohalide, such as a triflate, sulfonate, or phosphate), with compounds of Formula I-9, wherein B is a suitable functional group such as, but not limited to, a boronic acid or a derivative thereof, such as a boronic ester, zinc or magnesium halide, an organotin compound, such as tributylstannane or trimethylstannane, fluorosulfonyl esters, tin, sodium, hydrogen, and the like. These reactions are typically conducted in the presence of suitable catalyst such as, but not limited to, a palladium catalyst including [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) dichloride, Pd(OAc)2, Pd(PPh3)4, PdCl2(PPh3)2 or tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0), and the like, or a copper catalyst such as CuCl or CuI, and if required suitable mediator, co-catalyst and/or base known to one skilled in the art using suitable solvents/solvent mixtures. Upon reaction completion, compounds of Formula I can be recovered by conventional techniques such as neutralization, extraction, precipitation, chromatography, filtration and the like.
In some embodiments, the various substituents of compound I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5, I-6, I-7, 1-8, and I-9 (e.g., W, X, R1, R2, R3, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, Y, Z, A, B, L, R51, R52, and R53) are as defined for formula I. However, derivatization of compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5, I-6, I-7, I-8, and I-9 prior to coupling and/or further derivatization of the resulting coupling product provides various compounds of formula I. Appropriate starting materials and reagents can be purchased or prepared by methods known to one of skill in the art.

In Scheme II, W, X, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, and R9 are independently as defined throughout, and each R50 is hydrogen, alkyl, or together with the atoms to which they are attached, form a cyclic boronic ester.
Exemplary compounds of Formula I, where W is CR4, X is N and R3 is cyano (Formula II-1a) or trifluoromethyl (Formula II-1b), can be prepared by reacting pyridine ester compounds of Formula II-2 with bromine under appropriate solvent and reaction conditions, to provide compounds of Formula II-4. An appropriately halogenated starting compound of Formula II-4 can then be coupled with a boronic acid or ester compound of Formula II-5 under suitable coupling conditions (e.g., Suzuki coupling), or can be coupled with an organozinc compound of Formula II-6 under suitable coupling conditions, or can be coupled with a zinc halide of Formula II-7 under suitable coupling conditions (e.g., Negishi coupling), or can be reacted with a sodium alkylthiolate or sodium alkoxide compound of Formula II-8 under suitable reaction conditions, or can be reacted with an alcohol compound of Formula II-9 under suitable reaction conditions, or can be coupled with a tetraorganotin compound of Formula II-10 under suitable coupling conditions, or can be coupled with an organotin compound of Formula II-11 under suitable coupling conditions (e.g., Stille coupling), or can be reacted with a fluorosulfonyl ester compound of Formula II-12 under suitable reaction conditions, to provide compounds of Formula II-13.

In Scheme III, W, X, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, and R9 are independently as defined throughout, and each R50 is hydrogen, alkyl, or together with the atoms to which they are attached, form a cyclic boronic ester.
Further exemplary compounds of formula I, where W and X are CR4 and R3 is cyano, can be prepared by reacting substituted phenyl ketone compounds of Formula III-2 with bromoacetate compounds of Formula III-3 under appropriate solvent and reaction conditions, to provide compounds of Formula III-4.

The compounds of Formula III-8 can be further derivatized by brominating with bromine under appropriate solvent and reaction conditions, to provide compounds of Formula III-10. Coupling appropriately halogenated starting compounds of Formula III-10 with zinc cyanide (Formula III-11) under suitable coupling conditions provides compounds of Formula III-1.
Scheme IV further illustrates various general methods which can be employed for the synthesis of compounds described herein. In Scheme IV, W, X, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R1, R9, R51, R52, and R53 are independently as defined throughout, and each R50 is hydrogen, alkyl, or together with the atoms to which they are attached, form a cyclic boronic ester.
Further exemplary compounds of Formula I, where W is N, X is CR4 and R3 is cyano, can be prepared by reacting isonicotinic acid ester compounds of Formula IV-2 with iodine under appropriate solvent and reaction conditions, to provide compounds of Formula IV-4. An appropriately halogenated starting compound of Formula IV-4 can then be coupled with copper cyanide (Formula IV-5) under suitable coupling conditions to provide cyano isonicotinic acid ester compounds of Formula IV-6. A compound of Formula IV-7 is then exposed to a base, for example sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, then reacted with cyano isonicotinic acid ester compounds of Formula IV-6 to produce phosphine oxide compounds of Formula IV-8. The compound of Formula IV-8 can then be treated with a compound of Formula IV-9, to provide compounds of Formula IV-10. In certain embodiments, when control of stereochemistry is desired, proper control of reaction conditions and selection of substituents for the reagents and compounds of Formula IV-8 and Formula IV-9 can at least partially dictate the formation of E or Z isomers of Formula IV-10, allowing for the stereocontrol of substituents R6, R7, R8, and R9 on subsequent fully-saturated compounds of Formula IV-11. Further derivatization of α,β-unsaturated dioxo compounds of Formula IV-10, transformations which are known to those of skill in the art, or exposure to standard reducing conditions, provides compounds of Formula IV-11. The compounds of Formula IV-11 can be further derivatized by brominating with N-bromosuccinimide (Formula IV-12) under appropriate solvent and reaction conditions, to provide compounds of Formula IV-13.

Upon each reaction completion, each of the intermediate or final compounds can be recovered, and optionally purified, by conventional techniques such as neutralization, extraction, precipitation, chromatography, filtration, and the like.
Other modifications to arrive at compounds of this disclosure are within the skill of the art.
The compositions of the present disclosure can be delivered directly or in pharmaceutical compositions along with suitable carriers or excipients, as is well known in the art. Present methods of treatment can comprise administration of an effective amount of a compound of the disclosure to a subject in need; e.g., a subject having or at risk for a hyperproliferative disease or cancer. In certain embodiments, the subject is a mammalian subject. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human subject.
An effective amount of such agents can readily be determined by routine experimentation, as can the most effective and convenient route of administration and the most appropriate formulation. Various formulations and drug delivery systems are available in the art. See, e.g., Gennaro, A. R., ed. (1995) Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, supra.
Suitable routes of administration may, for example, include oral, rectal, topical, nasal, pulmonary, ocular, intestinal, and parenteral administration. The indication to be treated, along with the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the drug, dictate the type of formulation and the route of administration to be used, as well as whether local or systemic delivery would be preferred.
Pharmaceutical compositions are often composed of the drug and an excipient(s). Pharmaceutical dosage forms are often composed of the drug, an excipient(s), and a container/closure system. One or multiple excipients, also referred to as inactive ingredients, can be added to a compound of the disclosure to improve or facilitate manufacturing, stability, administration, and safety of the drug, and can provide a means to achieve a desired drug release profile. Therefore, the type of excipient(s) to be added to the drug can depend on various factors, such as, for example, the physical and chemical properties of the drug, the route of administration, and the manufacturing procedure. Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are available in the art and include those listed in various pharmacopoeias. (See, e.g., the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and British pharmacopeia (BP); the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (www.fda.gov) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CEDR) publications, e.g., Inactive Ingredient Guide (1996); Ash and Ash, Eds. (2002) Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives, Synapse Information Resources, Inc., Endicott NY; etc.)
Pharmaceutical dosage forms of a compound of the present disclosure may be manufactured by any of the methods well-known in the art, such as, for example, by conventional mixing, sieving, dissolving, melting, granulating, dragee-making, tableting, suspending, extruding, spray-drying, levigating, emulsifying, (nano/micro-) encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilization processes. As noted above, the compositions of the present disclosure can include one or more physiologically acceptable inactive ingredients that facilitate processing of active molecules into preparations for pharmaceutical use.
Proper formulation is dependent upon the desired route of administration. For intravenous injection, for example, the composition may be formulated in aqueous solution, if necessary using physiologically compatible buffers, including, for example, phosphate, histidine, or citrate for adjustment of the formulation pH, and a tonicity agent, such as, for example, sodium chloride or dextrose. For transmucosal or nasal administration, semisolid, liquid formulations, or patches may be preferred, possibly containing penetration enhancers. Such penetrants are generally known in the art. For oral administration, the compounds can be formulated in liquid or solid dosage forms, and as instant or controlled/sustained release formulations. Suitable dosage forms for oral ingestion by a subject include tablets, pills, dragees, hard and soft shell capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions, and emulsions. The compounds may also be formulated in rectal compositions, such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
Solid oral dosage forms can be obtained using excipients, which may include fillers, disintegrants, binders (dry and wet), dissolution retardants, lubricants, glidants, antiadherants, cationic exchange resins, wetting agents, antioxidants, preservatives, coloring, and flavoring agents. These excipients can be of synthetic or natural source. Examples of such excipients include cellulose derivatives, citric acid, dicalcium phosphate, gelatine, magnesium carbonate, magnesium/sodium lauryl sulfate, mannitol, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, silicates, silicium dioxide, sodium benzoate, sorbitol, starches, stearic acid or a salt thereof, sugars (i.e. dextrose, sucrose, lactose, etc.), talc, tragacanth mucilage, vegetable oils (hydrogenated), and waxes. Ethanol and water may serve as granulation aides. In certain instances, coating of tablets with, for example, a taste-masking film, a stomach acid resistant film, or a release-retarding film is desirable. Natural and synthetic polymers, in combination with colorants, sugars, and organic solvents or water, are often used to coat tablets, resulting in dragees. When a capsule is preferred over a tablet, the drug powder, suspension, or solution thereof can be delivered in a compatible hard or soft shell capsule.
A therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially using a variety of techniques well-known in the art. Initial doses used in animal studies may be based on effective concentrations established in cell culture assays. Dosage ranges appropriate for human subjects can be determined, for example, using data obtained from animal studies and cell culture assays.
An effective amount or a therapeutically effective amount or dose of an agent, e.g., a compound of the disclosure, refers to that amount of the agent or compound that results in amelioration of symptoms or a prolongation of survival in a subject. Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such molecules can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., by determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio of toxic to therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index, which can be expressed as the ratio LD50/ED50. Agents that exhibit high therapeutic indices are generally preferred.
The effective amount or therapeutically effective amount is the amount of the compound or pharmaceutical composition that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. Dosages typically fall within a range of circulating concentrations that includes the ED50 with little or no toxicity. Dosages may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and/or the route of administration utilized. Dosages are typically expressed as a number of milligrams of a compound described herein per kilogram of the subject's body weight (mg/kg).

The plate and filter paper were sandwiched between two custom made aluminum plates (Advanced Component Manufacturing, Burlingame, CA) and transferred to a 37° C. oven and allowed to incubate for 1 hour. After incubation, the filter paper was dried in a 103° C. oven for 40-60 minutes. To determine percent turnover, aliquots of the reaction mixture were spotted onto the filter paper and the filter paper was dried again. The dry filter paper was exposed to a storage phosphor screen for 24-72 hours and the images recorded using a Typhoon FLA 7000 Imager (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ). Integrated spot intensities corresponding to control reactions lacking the enzyme were subtracted from integration results for enzyme containing reactions and data were converted to enzyme dependent percent 14CO2 release. All enzymatic reactions were run in duplicates.
For IC50 determination, a 3-fold dilution series of compound was prepared and added to the reaction mixture (final 1% DMSO, v/v) prior to enzyme addition. The final reagent concentrations were: 10 μM Fe(SO4), 10 μM [1-14C] αKG, 90 μM non-labeled αKG, 2 mM ascorbate, 50 μM peptide substrate, 75 mM NaCl, 0.01% Tween-20 and ˜2 units/μL catalase. IC50s were determined by non-linear fitting using Grafit version 7.0. Data for compounds disclosed herein is shown in Table 2.
COS-7 monkey kidney fibroblasts (ATCC, Manassas VA) were seeded into collagen-coated 96-well culture dishes and incubated overnight at 37° C., 5% CO2 in standard culture medium, e.g., Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. The next day, cells were transfected with an expression plasmid for Myc-His-tagged KDM5B (Origene, Rockville MD) for 3h before replacing the transfection medium with fresh culture medium and treating with vehicle or compound.
After 18h incubation, the cell culture treatment medium was removed and cell layers were fixed using 4% formaldehyde in Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS), then permeabilized with 0.25% Triton X-100, and then blocked using a suitable blocking agent e.g., Odyssey Blocking Buffer (LICOR, Lincoln NE). Cell layers were then incubated overnight with primary antibodies for detection of MYC (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham MA) and tri-methylated Lysine 4 of Histone 3 (H3K4me3) (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers MA). The next day cell layers were washed and incubated with appropriate fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies. Finally, nuclei were stained using 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI).
In one analysis method, fold increases in H3K4me3 levels per cell were assessed. A suitable cell imaging system e.g., Cytation5 (Biotek, Winooski VT) was used to scan cell layers that had been immunostained for MYC and H3K4me3. Scanned objects were gated using DAPI (cells) and binned according to MYC-KDM5B expression levels (low, medium, or high). H3K4me3 levels were quantified per cell. Mean fold increases in H3K4me3 in compound-treated cells relative to vehicle-treated cells were calculated for each MYC-KDM5B expressing bin (low, medium, or high).
In another analysis method, the percentages of MYC-KDM5B-overexpressing cells with H3K4me3 levels above a pre-determined threshold were calculated. A suitable cell imaging system e.g., Incucyte ZOOM (Sartorius, Germany) was used to scan cell layers that had been immunostained for MYC-KDM5B and H3K4me3. Cells highly overexpressing MYC-KDM5B were gated based on MYC staining levels and then the percentages of cells within vehicle- and compound-treated groups with H3K4me3 levels above a set threshold were determined. Compound-dependent increases in percentages of cells above the pre-determined H3K4me3 threshold were calculated.
