Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This disclosure relates to novel compounds that are useful for treatment of certain diseases. Specifically, this disclosure relates to novel compounds that bind hematopoietic progenitor kinases (HPKs), such as HPK1, and induce HPK1 degradation, and treat HPK1 dependent disorders.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1), also known as MAP4K1, is a serine/threonine kinase and is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells, such as T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells (DC). HPK1 kinase activity can be induced by a variety of receptor stimulations, including, for example, TCR, BCR, EP2/4, and CD95 (Sawasdikosol & Burakoff, 2020). Upon the TCR engagement, HPK1 is phosphorylated at tyrosine 379 by ZAP70, allowing binding with SH2 domain of SLP76. HPK1 subsequently phosphorylates serine 376 of SLP76 and threonine 262 of Gads (Di Bartolo et al., 2007; Lasserre et al., 2011), creating binding sites for 14-3-3 disruption of SLP76 and LAT complex (di Bartolo et al., 2007; Lasserre et al., 2011). This acts as negative feedback signaling to TCR activation. The functions of HPK1 have been validated by various genetic evidence. HPK1−/− T cells have lower activation threshold with increased pro-inflammatory cytokine and hyper-proliferative response (Liu et al., 2019). HPK1−/− T cells also exhibit resistance to PGE2-mediated suppression (Alzabin et al., 2009). HPK1−/− dendritic cells have demonstrated superior antigen presentation ability in vitro, leading to anti-tumor responses in vivo. In addition, the HPK1−/− mice showed better anti-tumor activity than the wild type mice in several tumor models (Liu et al., 2019). These highlight the importance of HPK1's activity in enhancing immune cells' functions and preventing the tumor progression. In addition to autoimmune diseases, it was also reported that MAP4K1 expression is a novel resistance mechanism and independent prognostic marker in AML (Knight et al; 2021; Ling et al, 2021). Thus, HPK1 can be a novel target for cancer and other disorders.


Structurally, HPK1 comprises N-terminal kinase domain, proline-rich domain, and C-terminal citron homology domain. Traditionally, HPK1 activity can be modulated by kinase domain. HPK1 binds many adaptor proteins, including, for example, Grb2, Nck, Crk, and SLP-76, and actin-binding adaptors HIP-55. The proline-rich domain can bind proteins that contain SH3 domains. HPK1 can interact with IKK-α/β to prevent complex formation of ADAP and SLP76. A bivalent heterobifunctional molecule, also known as proteolysis-targeted chimeras (PROTAC), in addition to inhibiting enzymatic activity, also eliminates scaffolding functions of the protein. Thus, a molecule that binds HPK1 and induces its degradation can not only have better efficacy than inhibition of the kinase activity, but also overcome the inhibition induced expression or acquired resistance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
I. Definitions

The term “a” or “an” when referring to a noun as used herein encompasses the expression “at least one” and therefore encompasses both singular and plural units of the noun. For example, “an additional pharmaceutical agent” means a single or two or more additional pharmaceutical agents.


The term “protein kinase” is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups on tyrosine, serine, and threonine residues of proteins. Serine/threonine kinases, specific for phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues, constitute an important family of protein kinases.


The term “HPK1” or “hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1” as used herein, also known as MAP4K1, is a serine/threonine kinase and is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells, such as T cells, B cells and dendritic cells (DC). HPK1 is involved in the modulation of various downstream signaling pathways, such as extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), which are all associated with the regulation of cellular proliferation and immune cell activation.


Compounds disclosed herein can degrade the protein kinase HPK1. Thus, compounds disclosed herein are generally useful in the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with such a kinase. In one embodiment, the compounds disclosed herein are HPK1 degraders, and are useful for treating diseases, such as cancer, associated with such a kinase.


The term “degrader” as used herein, refers to a molecule agent that binds to hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 and subsequently lowers the steady state protein levels of the kinase. In some embodiments, a degrader as disclosed herein lowers steady state HPK1 protein levels by at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99%. In some embodiments, a degrader as disclosed herein lowers steady state HPK1 protein levels by at least 65%. In some embodiments, a degrader as disclosed herein lowers steady state HPK1 protein levels by at least 85%.


The term “compound,” when referring to a compound of the present disclosure, refers to a collection of molecules having an identical chemical structure unless otherwise indicated as a collection of stereoisomers (for example, a collection of racemates, a collection of cis/trans stereoisomers, or a collection of (E) and (Z) stereoisomers), except that there may be isotopic variation among the constituent atoms of the molecules. Thus, it will be clear to those of skill in the art that a compound represented by a particular chemical structure containing indicated deuterium atoms, will also contain lesser amounts of isotopologues having hydrogen atoms at one or more of the designated deuterium positions in that structure. The relative amount of such isotopologues in a compound of the present disclosure will depend upon a number of factors, including, for example, the isotopic purity of reagents used to make the compound and the efficiency of incorporation of isotopes in the various synthesis steps used to prepare the compound. However, as set forth above the relative amount of such isotopologues in to will be less than 49.9% of the compound. In other embodiments, the relative amount of such isotopologues in to will be less than 47.5%, less than 40%, less than 32.5%, less than 25%, less than 17.5%, less than 10%, less than 5%, less than 3%, less than 1%, or less than 0.5% of the compound.


As used herein, “optionally substituted” is interchangeable with the phrase “substituted or unsubstituted.” In general, the term “substituted,” refers to the replacement of hydrogen radicals in a given structure with the radical of a specified substituent. Unless otherwise indicated, an “optionally substituted” group may have a substituent at each substitutable position of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure may be substituted with more than one substituent chosen from a specified group, the substituent may be either the same or different at every position. Combinations of substituents envisioned by the present disclosure are those that result in the formation of stable or chemically feasible compounds.


The term “isotopologue” refers to a species in which the chemical structure differs from only in the isotopic composition thereof. Additionally, unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures except for the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by a 13C or 14C are within the scope of the present disclosure.


Unless otherwise indicated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all isomeric forms of the structure, e.g., racemic mixtures, cis/trans isomers, geometric (or conformational) isomers, such as (Z) and (E) double bond isomers, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, geometric and conformational mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the present disclosure. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the present disclosure are within the scope of the present disclosure.


The term “tautomer,” as used herein, refers to one of two or more isomers of compound that exist together in equilibrium, and are readily interchanged by migration of an atom, e.g., a hydrogen atom, or group within the molecule.


“Stereoisomer” as used herein refers to enantiomers and diastereomers.


As used herein, “deuterated derivative” refers to a compound having the same chemical structure as a reference compound, but with one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by a deuterium atom (“D” or “2H”). It will be recognized that some variation of natural isotopic abundance occurs in a synthesized compound depending on the origin of chemical materials used in the synthesis. The concentration of naturally abundant stable hydrogen isotopes, notwithstanding this variation is small and immaterial as compared to the degree of stable isotopic substitution of deuterated derivatives disclosed herein. Thus, unless otherwise stated, when a reference is made to a “deuterated derivative” of a compound of the present disclosure, at least one hydrogen is replaced with deuterium at a level that is well above its natural isotopic abundance, which is typically about 0.015%. In some embodiments, the deuterated derivatives disclosed herein have an isotopic enrichment factor for each deuterium atom, of at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium), at least 4500 (67.5% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium), at least 5000 (75% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium), at least 5500 (82.5% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium), at least 6000 (90% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium), at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium), at least 6466.7 (97% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium), or at least 6600 (99% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium).


The term “isotopic enrichment factor” as used herein means the ratio between the isotopic abundance and the natural abundance of a specified isotope.

2. HPK1 p-SLP-76 Inhibition Assay


Human PBMC were purchased from OriCells (FPB004F-C). Before compound treatment, PBMC were starved in PRMI-1640 medium supplemented with 0.5% FBS overnight. The cell density was adjusted to 1*10{circumflex over ( )}7 cells/mL in assay medium (RPMI-1640 no phenol red with 0.5% FBS) and 16 μL cell suspension was transferred per well to a 384-well plate (Corning #3765). 6× solution of test compound was prepared in assay medium and 4 μL was added per well to the 384-well plate. The plate was then incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 6 h. PBMC in 384-well plate were stimulated with anti-CD3 (BD Biosciences #555329, final conc. is 10 ug/mL) for 20 min at 37° C., 5% CO2 by adding 4 μL 6× antibody solution per well. Phospho-SLP76 HTRF kit was purchased from Cisbio (63ADK076PEH). 8 μL 4× Lysis Buffer was added to 384-well plate after anti-CD3 stimulation. The plate was centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 1 min, shaken at 250 rpm for 60 min and centrifuged again at 1,000 rpm for 5 min. Afterwards the cell lysates were transferred to the assay plate (Greiner #784075) with 16 μL per well. 4 μL detection antibody mix per well prepared in Detection Buffer was added to the assay plate, followed by centrifugation at 1,000 rpm for 1 min and incubation at 25° C. overnight. The fluorescence emission at two different wavelengths (665 nm and 620 nm) was read by an HTRF compatible microplate reader and the IC50 value of the compound was calculated.

3. Western Blots

HPK1 protein degradation in mouse pan T cell: the CD3+ T cell population was isolated from spleenocytes of mice by using Pan T cell isolation kit from Miltenyi Biotec (130-095-130) following manufacture's instruction. The isolated T cells were then incubated with a variety of concentrations of compound. After incubation for 18 h, the cells were collected and lysed. The protein concentration was determined by BCA protein assay kit from Thermo (23227). The HPK1 protein level was determined by western blots, using anti-human HPK1 polyclonal antibody from CST (4472). Proteins were loaded into each well of the pre-casting gels and subjected to electrophoretic separation by SDS-PAGE. The protein resolved by SDS-PAGE were transferred to PVDF, blocked by 5% skim milk and probed with anti-human HPK1 antibody or β-actin antibody from CST (3700S), using following standard western blotting procedure. The degradation results are shown in the following Table 4
