The present application claims the benefit of Chinese patent application CN201810387693.2 filed on Apr. 26, 2018. The contents of the Chinese patent application are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The present application relates to a crystal form of a c-MFT inhibitor, a salt form thereof and a preparation method therefor, and a use of the crystal form and the salt form in the manufacture of a medicament for treating a tumor is also included in the present application.
The c-Met encoded by proto-oncogene Met is a receptor tyrosine kinase with high affinity belonging to RON subgroup. It is the only known receptor for scattering factor or hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). HGF induces phosphorylation of c-Met by binding to its extracellular domain, and recruits a variety of interstitial factors such as GAB1 (growth factor receptor binding protein-1) and GAB2 (growth factor receptor binding protein-2) in the C-terminal multifunctional domain, further attracting molecules such as SHP2, PI3K to bind here, hence activating RAS/MAPK, PI3K/AKT, JAK/STAT pathways etc., thereby regulating the growth, migration, proliferation and survival of cells. Abnormal action of the c-Met pathway would lead to tumorigenesis and metastasis, and abnormal high expression of c-Met has been found in various human malignancies such as bladder cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer.
In addition, c-Met is also associated with drug resistance to multiple kinase inhibitors in tumors. The interaction between c-Met and various membrane receptors (crosstalk) constitutes a complex network system. The crosstalk between c-Met and adhesion receptor CD44 amplifies the response of signal peptide; the crosstalk between c-Met and the brain protein receptor activates c-Met level of independent ligand HGF, and then enhances the invasion effect; the crosstalk between c-Met and the pro-apoptotic receptor FAS accelerates apoptosis; the crosstalk between c-Met and various receptor tyrosine kinases such as EGFR, VEGFR regulates the activation between each other, thus affecting the angiogenesis process. The crosstalk between c-Met and these membrane receptors promotes tumorigenesis, metastasis and induces drug resistance.
There are currently two kinds of anti-tumor drugs targeting at c-Met pathway: one is monoclonal antibody against HGF or c-Met; the other is small molecule inhibitor against c-Met. The small molecule inhibitors that have already entered clinical research or under research include PF-2341066, EMD-1214063, XL-184 and ARQ-197 etc. Among them, Tepot nib has the best anti-tumor activity and has a strong inhibitory effect on a variety of tumor cells overexpressing c-Met (activity on c-MET enzyme IC50=3.67 nM, on MHCC97-H cells IC50=6.2 nM), and it has entered clinical research phase II. However, although tepotinib has high selectivity, it still has the drawbacks of low metabolic stability and high clearance rate in vivo. Therefore, metabolically stable c-Met inhibitors are urgently needed to compensate for the deficiency.

Conclusion: The compound represented by formula (I) shows better tumor inhibitory effect than tepotinib in the pharmacodynamic experiment on MHCC97H liver cancer cell subcutaneous xenograft tumor model.
The compound represented by formula (I) has better metabolic stability than tepotinib. The t1/2 of the compound represented by formula (I) by human, rat, and mouse liver microsome metabolism were 62.1 min, 36.5 min, and 49.1 min, respectively, under the same conditions, the t1/2 of tepotinib by human, rat and mouse liver microsome metabolism was 48.3 min, 10.5 min, and 12.4 min, respectively. The compound represented by the present disclosure has increased half-life, thus having prolonged action time against the target, enhanced metabolism stability and better inhibitory activity. The prolongation of half-life will allow the drug concentration to be maintained in the blood for a longer period of time. From this, it can be predicted that the compound will reduce the dose or the frequency of administration compared with similar drugs when used in tumor treatment, and patient compliance will be significantly improved.
When c-MET binds to HGF, the MAPK, PI3K/AKT, Cdc42/Rac1 and other pathways will be activated, leading to tumor cell survival and proliferation, thereby accelerating the tumor growth. Therefore, the pyridone compounds as c-Met inhibitor have great application prospects in targeted therapy drugs such as liver cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and gastric cancer. Especially in the treatment of liver cancer, these compounds have a precise therapeutic effect on liver cancer with high expression of c-MET. Therefore, the compound represented by formula (I) as pyridone c-MET inhibitor is expected to be a more therapeutically effective new drug than other similar products in view of its remarkable inhibitory activity in vivo and in vitro, as well as its good metabolic stability.
