Description

The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2021101958215 filed on Feb. 19, 2021 and Chinese Patent Application No. 2022101226828 filed on Feb. 9, 2022, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly to a fused cyclic compound with an inhibitory effect on the Wee1 kinase, a method for preparing same and use of such compounds in the preparation of anti-tumor drugs.


BACKGROUND

Wee-1 protein kinase is an important negative regulatory protein in cell cycle checkpoints. The cell cycle checkpoints include a G1 checkpoint for the transition from G1 phase (cell resting phase) to S phase (DNA synthesis phase), a G2 checkpoint for the transition from G2 phase (cell division preparation phase) to M phase (cell division phase), and a spindle checkpoint for the transition from metaphase (cell division metaphase) to anaphase (cell division anaphase) of the M phase. The Wee-1 protein kinase plays an important role in the G2 phase checkpoint. Cell entry into M phase depends on CDK1 kinase activity, and Wee-1 inhibits the activity of CDK1 by phosphorylating Tyr 15 of CDK1 protein, preventing cells from entering M phase (cell division phase). In contrast, polo kinase phosphorylates Wee-1 and activates the degradation of Wee-1 protein, promoting the start of M phase. Thus, Wee-1 kinase activity determines the activity of G2 checkpoint and regulates the G2-to-M transition of cells [Cell Cycle, 2013.12(19): p. 3159-3164].


The cell cycle checkpoints are activated primarily following DNA damage and play an important role in the repair of DNA in cells. The normal activation of the cell cycle checkpoints blocks the cell cycle and promotes DNA repair. If the functions of the checkpoints are inhibited, the DNA damage is unable to be repaired, and the cells undergo apoptosis. Compared with normal cells, a variety of tumor cells repair DNA damage and avoid apoptosis mainly depending on the activation of the G2 phase checkpoint due to the impaired function of the important protein p53 protein of the G1 phase checkpoint. Therefore, tumor cells can be selectively killed by inhibiting the G2 phase checkpoint. The important role of Wee-1 kinase activity in the G2 phase checkpoint suggests that Wee-1 kinase determines the repair or death of tumor cells after DNA damage, and the inhibition of Wee-1 activity can promote the start of M phase in unrepaired tumor cells after DNA damage and induce apoptosis [Curr Clin Pharmacol, 2010.5(3): p. 186-191].


Studies have shown that in addition to the role in the G2 checkpoint, Wee-1 is involved in DNA synthesis, DNA homologous repair, post-translational modification of chromosomal histones, and other functions closely related to the development and progression of tumors [J Cell Biol, 2011.194(4): p. 567-579]. Wee-1 expression is greatly increased in many tumors including liver cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, melanoma and lung cancer [PLoS One, 2009.4(4): p.e5120; Hepatology, 2003.37(3): p. 534-543; Mol Cancer, 2014.13: p. 72]. The high expression of Wee-1 is in a positive correlation with the progression and poor prognosis of tumors, suggesting that Wee-1 kinase may be involved in the development and progression of tumors. Studies on in vitro cell models and in vivo animal models have shown that inhibiting Wee-1 activity while inducing DNA damage can significantly inhibit the growth of a variety of tumors [Cancer Biol Ther, 2010.9(7): p. 514-522; Mol Cancer Ther, 2009.8(11): p. 2992-3000]. Therefore, the development of specific and highly active small-molecule inhibitors against Wee-1 kinase would be of important clinical value for tumor treatment, especially targeting tumors with impaired G1 checkpoints such as P53 deletion.

Further Forms of the Compounds

“Pharmaceutically acceptable” herein refers to a substance, such as a carrier or diluent, which will not lead to loss of biological activity or properties of a compound and is relatively non-toxic. For example, when an individual is given a substance, the substance will not cause undesired biological effects or interact with any component contained therein in a deleterious manner.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a form of a compound that does not cause significant irritation to the organism receiving the administration or eliminate the biological activity and properties of the compound. In certain specific aspects, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is obtained by subjecting the compound of general formula (1) to a reaction with acids, e.g., inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, picric acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and the like, and acidic amino acids such as aspartic acid, glutamic acid and the like.


It should be understood that references to pharmaceutically acceptable salts include solvent addition forms or crystalline forms, especially solvates or polymorphs. A solvate contains an either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of solvent and is selectively formed during crystallization in a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent such as water and ethanol. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is ethanol. The solvates of the compound of general formula (1) are conveniently prepared or formed according to the methods described herein. For example, hydrates of the compound of general formula (1) are conveniently prepared by recrystallization in a mixed solvent of water/organic solvent, wherein the organic solvent used includes, but is not limited to, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, ethanol, or methanol. Furthermore, the compounds described herein may be present in either a non-solvated form or a solvated form. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the non-solvated forms for purposes of the compounds and methods provided herein.


In other specific examples, the compound of general formula (1) is prepared in different forms including, but not limited to, amorphous, pulverized, and nanoparticle forms. In addition, the compound of general formula (1) includes crystalline forms, but may also be polymorphs. Polymorphs include different lattice arrangements of the same elements of a compound. Polymorphs generally have different X-ray diffraction spectra, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystalline forms, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Different factors such as recrystallization solvent, crystallization rate, and storage temperature may lead to a single dominant crystalline form.


In another aspect, the compound of general formula (1) may have a chiral center and/or axial chirality, and thus may be present in the form of a racemate, a racemic mixture, a single enantiomer, a diastereomeric compound, a single diastereomer, and a cis-trans isomer. Each chiral center or axial chirality will independently produce two optical isomers, and all possible optical isomers, diastereomeric mixtures, and pure or partially pure compounds are included within the scope of the present invention. The present invention is meant to include all such isomeric forms of these compounds.


The compound of the present invention may contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute the compound. For example, the compound may be labeled with radioactive isotopes, such as tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I), and C-14 (14C). For another example, deuterium can be used to substitute a hydrogen atom to form a deuterated compound. The bond formed by deuterium and carbon is stronger than that formed by common hydrogen and carbon, and compared with an undeuterated medicament, the deuterated medicament generally has the advantages of reduced adverse effects, increased medicament stability, enhanced efficacy, prolonged in vivo half-life, and the like. All isotopic variations of the compound of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.

Example 297. In-Vitro Assay of the Compounds of the Present Invention for Inhibiting Enzymatic Activity of Recombinant Protein Wee-1

The inhibitory effect of the compounds on the enzyme activity of recombinant protein Wee-1 was determined by HTRF. The procedures are as follows:


After DMSO or serially diluted compounds (up to 200 nM, 1:5 serially diluted) and recombinant proteins were co-incubated in a kinase buffer at 37° C. for 30 min Fluorescein-PolyGAT and ATP were added, and then the reaction was started by the addition of a substrate. After incubation at room temperature for 90 min, an antibody and a detection solution were added, and after further incubation at room temperature for 60 min, fluorescence values were detected (excitation wavelength: 340 nm, emission wavelengths: 495 and 520 nm). The 520 nm/495 nm fluorescence intensity ratio value was calculated, and compared with that of the DMSO group, and then the inhibition percentages and IC50 values of the compounds were calculated. The results are shown in Table 3 below.

Example 300. In-Vivo Pharmacodynamic Study—Mouse HT29 Subcutaneous Xenograft Tumor Model

HT29 is a colon cancer cell. Each nude mouse was grafted subcutaneously with 5×106 HT29 cells. When the tumor grew to 100-200 mm3, the compound was administered orally once a day alone or in combination with 15 mg/kg of gemcitabine injected intraperitoneally once a week, and the tumor volume was measured twice a week and at the end of treatment. Tumor growth inhibition of the compound was calculated according to the following equation: tumor growth inhibition (TGI)=1−(tumor volume on day 18 in treatment group−tumor volume on day 1 in treatment group)/(tumor volume on day 18 in vehicle control group−tumor volume on day 1 in treatment group). The results are shown in Tables 6 and 7.
