BACKGROUND

Ras is a family of proteins which are associated with cell membrane through their C-terminal membrane targeting region and well known as the molecular switch in intracellular signaling network (Cox A D, Der C J. Ras history: The saga continues. Small GTPases. 2010; 1(1):2-27). Ras proteins bind with either GTP or GDP and switch between “on” and “off” states. When Ras proteins bind with GDP, it is in the off (or inactive) state. And when Ras is switched on by certain growth promoting stimuli like growth factors, Ras proteins will be induced to exchange its bound GDP for a GTP and turn into on (or active) state (Malumbres M, Barbacid M. RAS oncogenes: the first 30 years. Nat Rev Cancer. 2003; 3(6):459-465). By switching to active state, Ras protein can interact with different downstream proteins and activate related signaling pathways (Berndt N, Hamilton A D, Sebti S M. Targeting protein prenylation for cancer therapy. Nat Rev Cancer. 2011; 11(11):775-791). Ras superfamily contains different subfamilies including Ras, Ral, Rap, Rheb, Rad, Rit and Miro (Wennerberg K, Rossman K L, Der C J. The Ras superfamily at a glance. J Cell Sci. 2005; 118(Pt 5):843-846). HRas, NRas and KRas are the most well studied proteins in Ras family since these proteins are the most common oncogenes in human cancers (O'Bryan J P. Pharmacological targeting of RAS: Recent success with direct inhibitors. Pharmacol Res. 2019; 139:503-511).


KRas is one of the most frequently mutated genes in human cancers. Based on data from Catalogue of Somatic Mutations (COSMIC) database, KRas mutation can be found in about 20% of human cancers, including pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer etc. (O'Bryan J P. Pharmacological targeting of RAS: Recent success with direct inhibitors. Pharmacol Res. 2019; 139:503-511). The most common KRas mutations are found at position G12 and G13 by blocking the GTPase activating proteins (GAP) stimulated GTP hydrolysis activity of KRas (Wang W, Fang G, Rudolph J. Ras inhibition via direct Ras binding—is there a path forward?. Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2012; 22(18):5766-5776). That results in the over activation of KRas protein and ultimately leads to uncontrolled cell proliferation and cancer.


Among different cancers, pancreatic cancer is considered as the most KRas-addicted cancer type. KRas mutation is found in 94.1% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). G12D (41%) and G12V (34%) mutations of KRas are the two most predominant mutations in all the KRas mutated PDAC (Waters A M, Der C J. KRAS: The Critical Driver and Therapeutic Target for Pancreatic Cancer. Cold Spring Harb Perspect Med. 2018; 8(9):a031435). In vivo data generated by mouse models proves that the progression and maintenance of pancreatic cancer highly rely on the constitutive activation of KRas downstream signaling (Siveke J T, Schmid R M. Chromosomal instability in mouse metastatic pancreatic cancer—it's Kras and Tp53 after all. Cancer Cell. 2005; 7(5):405-407). This indicates that mutated KRas protein is a highly attractive drug target for pancreatic cancer and also other cancers with KRas mutation. Because Kras protein is generally considered as a non-druggable target, there is no therapeutics which can selectively target Kras protein with G12D mutation in the clinic.


Thus, KRas G12D mutation is a highly attractive target for pancreatic cancer and other cancers with this mutation. As such, small-molecule therapeutic agents that are capable of selectively binding with Kras G12D and inhibiting its function would be very useful.

As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “stereoisomer” or “stereomerically pure” means one stereoisomer of a compound that is substantially free of other stereoisomers of that compound. For example, a stereomerically pure compound having one chiral center will be substantially free of the opposite enantiomer of the compound. A stereomerically pure compound having two chiral centers will be substantially free of other diastereomers of the compound. A typical stereomerically pure compound comprises greater than about 80% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 20% by weight of other stereoisomers of the compound, greater than about 90% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 10% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, greater than about 95% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 5% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, or greater than about 97% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 3% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound. The compounds can have chiral centers and can occur as racemates, individual enantiomers or diastereomers, and mixtures thereof. All such isomeric forms are included within the embodiments disclosed herein, including mixtures thereof.


The use of stereomerically pure forms of such compounds, as well as the use of mixtures of those forms, are encompassed by the embodiments disclosed herein. For example, mixtures comprising equal or unequal amounts of the enantiomers of a particular compound may be used in methods and compositions disclosed herein. These isomers may be asymmetrically synthesized or resolved using standard techniques such as chiral columns or chiral resolving agents. See, e.g., Jacques, J., et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen, S. H., et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, E. L., Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, S. H., Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN, 1972).


It should also be noted the compounds can include E and Z isomers, or a mixture thereof, and cis and trans isomers or a mixture thereof. In certain embodiments, the compounds are isolated as either the E or Z isomer. In other embodiments, the compounds are a mixture of the E and Z isomers.


As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, “atropisomers” refer to stereoisomers resulting from hindered rotation about a single bond axis where the rotational barrier is high enough to allow for the isolation of the individual rotational isomers


“Tautomers” refers to isomeric forms of a compound that are in equilibrium with each other. The concentrations of the isomeric forms will depend on the environment the compound is found in and may be different depending upon, for example, whether the compound is a solid or is in an organic or aqueous solution. For example, in aqueous solution, pyrazoles may exhibit the following isomeric forms, which are referred to as tautomers of each other:

As readily understood by one skilled in the art, a wide variety of functional groups and other structures may exhibit tautomerism and all tautomers of compounds of formula (I) are within the scope of the present invention.


It should also be noted the compounds can contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I), sulfur-35 (35S), or carbon-14 (14C), or may be isotopically enriched, such as with deuterium (2H), carbon-13 (13C), or nitrogen-15 (15N). As used herein, an “isotopologue” is an isotopically enriched compound. The term “isotopically enriched” refers to an atom having an isotopic composition other than the natural isotopic composition of that atom. “Isotopically enriched” may also refer to a compound containing at least one atom having an isotopic composition other than the natural isotopic composition of that atom. The term “isotopic composition” refers to the amount of each isotope present for a given atom.

Assays
KRAS Probe Displacement Assay

This assay was used to identify compounds which bind to GDP-loaded KRAS protein and are able to displace a biotinylated probe occupying the KRAS binding site. GST-tagged GDP-loaded WT KRAS (amino acids 1-188) and GST-tagged GDP-loaded KRAS G12D (amino acids 1-188) were expressed in E. coli and purified in house. All protein and reaction solutions were prepared in assay buffer containing 50 mM HEPES pH7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM TCEP, 0.01% BSA, and 0.008% Brij-35. Purified WT KRAS (3 nM final concentration) or KRAS G12D protein (0.5 nM final concentration) was incubated with a 3-fold serially diluted compound in the assay plate (384 well microplate, black, Corning). Plates are incubated at 24° C. for 1 hr. Following the incubation, biotinylated probe 1 (60 nM final assay concentration) for WT KRAS and biotinylated probe 2 (4 nM final assay concentration) for KRAS G12D was added to the assay plate, respectively. After 1 hr incubation at 24C, Mab Anti-GST-Th cryptate (Cisbio) and Streptavidin-XL665 (Cisbio) were added and further incubated at 24° C. for another 1 hr. The TR-FRET signals (ex337 nm, em665 nm/620 nm) were read on BMG PHERAstar FSX instrument. The inhibition percentage of KRAS protein binding with biotinylated probe in presence of increasing concentrations of compounds was calculated based on the ratio of fluorescence at 665 nm to that at 620 nm. The IC50 value of each compound was calculated from fitting the data to the four-parameter logistic model by Dotmatics.


pERK assay


AsPC-1 cell line was used in this study. Cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher), 50 units/mL penicillin and streptomycin (Thermo Fisher) and kept at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. Cells were reinstated from frozen stocks that were laid down within 30 passages from the original cells purchased. 30000 cells per well were seeded into a 96-well plate and incubated overnight. Cells were treated with a 10-point dilution series. The final compound concentration is from 0 to 10 μM. After 2 h compound treatment, cells were lysed, and the pERK1/2(THR202/TYR204) level in the cell lysates was detected by HTRF kit (Cisbio). In brief, a total of 16 μL of cell lysate from each well of a 96-well plate was transferred to a 384-well white assay plate. Lysate from each well was incubated with 2 μL of Eu3+-cryptate (donor) labeled anti-phospho-ERK1/2 and 2 μL of D2 (acceptor) labeled anti-phospho-ERK1/2 antibodies (Cisbio) overnight in dark at room temperature. When donor and acceptor are in close proximity, excitation of the donor with laser triggers a Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) towards the acceptor, which in turn fluoresces at 655 nm wavelength. FRET signals were measured using a PHERAstar FSX reader (BMG Labtech). IC50 determination was performed by fitting the curve of percent inhibition versus the log of the inhibitor concentration using Dotmatics.
