Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to indazole and azaindazole compounds which are inhibitors of LRRK2 and are useful in the treatment of CNS disorders.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Parkinson's disease (“PD”) is the most common form of parkinsonism, a movement disorder, and the second most common, age-related neurodegenerative disease estimated to affect 1-2% of the population over age 65. PD is characterized by tremor, rigidity, postural instability, impaired speech, and bradykinesia. It is a chronic, progressive disease with increasing disability and diminished quality of life. In addition to PD, parkinsonism is exhibited in a range of conditions such as progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, multiple system atrophy, and dementia with Lewy bodies.


Current therapeutic strategies for PD are primarily palliative and focus on reducing the severity of symptoms using supplemental dopaminergic medications. At present, there is no disease-modifying therapy that addresses the underlying neuropathological cause of the disease, thus constituting a significant unmet medical need.


It has long been known that family members of PD patients have an increased risk of developing the disease compared to the general population. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (“LRRK2,” also known as dardarin) is a 286 kDa multi-domain protein that has been linked to PD by genome-wide association studies. LRRK2 expression in the brain is highest in areas impacted by PD (Eur. J. Neurosci. 2006, 23(3):659) and LRRK2 has been found to localize in Lewy Bodies, which are intracellular protein aggregates considered to be a hallmark of the disease. Patients with point mutations in LRRK2 present disease that is indistinguishable from idiopathic patients. While more than 20 LRRK2 mutations have been associated with autosomal-dominantly inherited parkinsonism, the G2019S mutation located within the kinase domain of LRRK2 is by far the most common. This particular mutation is found in >85% of LRRK2-linked PD patients. It has been shown that the G2019S mutation in LRRK2 leads to an enhancement in LRRK2 kinase activity and inhibition of this activity is a therapeutic target for the treatment of PD.


In addition to PD, LRRK2 has been linked to other diseases such as cancer, leprosy, and Crohn's disease (Sci. Signal., 2012, 5(207), pe2). As there are presently limited therapeutic options for treating PD and other disorders associated with aberrant LRRK2 kinase activity, there remains a need for developing LRRK2 inhibitors.

It is further appreciated that certain features of the invention, which are, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, can also be provided in combination in a single embodiment (while the embodiments are intended to be combined as if written in multiply dependent form). Conversely, various features of the invention which are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, can also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination. Thus, it is contemplated as features described as embodiments of the compounds of Formula I can be combined in any suitable combination.


At various places in the present specification, certain features of the compounds are disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that such a disclosure include each and every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the term “C1-6 alkyl” is specifically intended to individually disclose (without limitation) methyl, ethyl, C3 alkyl, C4 alkyl, C5 alkyl and C6 alkyl.


The term “n-membered,” where n is an integer, typically describes the number of ring-forming atoms in a moiety where the number of ring-forming atoms is n. For example, piperidinyl is an example of a 6-membered heterocycloalkyl ring, pyrazolyl is an example of a 5-membered heteroaryl ring, pyridyl is an example of a 6-membered heteroaryl ring and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene is an example of a 10-membered cycloalkyl group.


At various places in the present specification, variables defining divalent linking groups may be described. It is specifically intended that each linking substituent include both the forward and backward forms of the linking substituent. For example, —NR(CR′R″)n— includes both —NR(CR′R″)n— and —(CR′R″)nNR— and is intended to disclose each of the forms individually. Where the structure requires a linking group, the Markush variables listed for that group are understood to be linking groups. For example, if the structure requires a linking group and the Markush group definition for that variable lists “alkyl” or “aryl” then it is understood that the “alkyl” or “aryl” represents a linking alkylene group or arylene group, respectively.


The term “substituted” means that an atom or group of atoms formally replaces hydrogen as a “substituent” attached to another group.

The substituents are independently selected, and substitution may be at any chemically accessible position. It is to be understood that substitution at a given atom is limited by valency. It is to be understood that substitution at a given atom results in a chemically stable molecule. The phrase “optionally substituted” means unsubstituted or substituted. The term “substituted” means that a hydrogen atom is removed and replaced by a substituent. A single divalent substituent, e.g., oxo, can replace two hydrogen atoms.

In some embodiments, compounds of Formula I are selective LRRK2 G2019S mutant inhibitors as compared to wild-type LRRK2.


As used herein, the term “contacting” refers to the bringing together of the indicated moieties in an in vitro system or an in vivo system such that they are in sufficient physical proximity to interact.


The terms “individual” or “patient,” used interchangeably, refer to any animal, including mammals, preferably mice, rats, other rodents, rabbits, dogs, cats, swine, cattle, sheep, horses, or primates, and most preferably humans.


The phrase “therapeutically effective amount” refers to the amount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal response in a tissue, system, animal, individual or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician.


As used herein, the term “treating” or “treatment” refers to one or more of (1) inhibiting the disease; e.g., inhibiting a disease, condition or disorder in an individual who is experiencing or displaying the pathology or symptomatology of the disease, condition or disorder (i.e., arresting further development of the pathology and/or symptomatology); and (2) ameliorating the disease; e.g., ameliorating a disease, condition or disorder in an individual who is experiencing or displaying the pathology or symptomatology of the disease, condition or disorder (i.e., reversing the pathology and/or symptomatology) such as decreasing the severity of disease.


As used herein, the term “selective” or “selectivity” as it relates to kinase activity, means that a compound as described herein, e.g. a compound of Formula I, is a more potent inhibitor of a particular kinase, such as LRRK2 kinase, when compared to another kinase.


While LRRK2 has other enzymatic activities, it is understood that when inhibitory activity or selectivity of LRRK2, or any mutation thereof, is mentioned, it is the LRRK2 kinase activity that is being referred to, unless clearly stated otherwise. As such, selectivity of LRRK2 relative to another kinase indicates a comparison of the IC50 of a compound on the kinase activity of LRRK2 to the IC50 of the compound on the kinase activity of another kinase. For example, a compound that is 10 fold selective for LRRK2 kinase activity relative to another kinase activity will have a ratio of IC50(other kinase)÷IC50(LRRK2)=10 (or a ratio of IC50(LRRK2)÷IC50(other kinase)=0.1).


In some embodiments, a compound as described herein, e.g., a compound of Formula I, is selective for a LRRK2 mutant over wild type LRRK2. Selectivity of LRRK2 mutants relative to wild type LRRK2 indicates a comparison of the IC50 of a compound on the kinase activity of the mutant LRRK2 to the IC50 of the compound on the kinase activity of wild type LRRK2. For example, a compound that is 10 fold selective for LRRK2 mutant kinase activity relative to wild type LRKK2 kinase activity will have a ratio of IC50(wild type LRRK2)÷IC50(mutant LRRK2)=10. In some embodiments, a compound provided herein is greater than 1 fold selective, greater than 2 fold selective, greater than 5 fold selective, greater than 10 fold selective, greater than 25 fold selective, or greater than 50 fold selective for LRRK2 mutant kinase over wild type LRRK2. In some embodiments, the LRRK2 mutant is LRRK2 G2019S.


The term “LRRK2-mediated condition”, “Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 mediated disorder” or any other variation thereof, as used herein means any disease or other condition in which LRRK2, including any mutations thereof, is known to play a role, or a disease state that is associated with elevated activity or expression of LRRK2, including any mutations thereof. For example, a “LRRK2-mediated condition” may be relieved by inhibiting LRRK2 kinase activity. Such conditions include certain neurodegenerative diseases, such as Lewy body diseases, including, but not limited to, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease, combined Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, diffuse Lewy body disease, as well as any syndrome identified as multiple system atrophy; certain cancers, such as melanoma, papillary renal cell carcinoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma; certain autoimmune diseases, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (e.g. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis); and leprosy.


The term “neurodegenerative diseases” includes any disease or condition characterized by problems with movements, such as ataxia, and conditions affecting cognitive abilities (e.g., memory) as well as conditions generally related to all types of dementia. “Neurodegenerative diseases” may be associated with impairment or loss of cognitive abilities, potential loss of cognitive abilities and/or impairment or loss of brain cells. Exemplary “neurodegenerative diseases” include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Down syndrome, dementia, multi-infarct dementia, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), epilepsy, seizures, Huntington's disease, neurodegeneration induced by viral infection (e.g. AIDS, encephalopathies), traumatic brain injuries, as well as ischemia and stroke.


“Neurodegenerative diseases” also includes any undesirable condition associated with the disease. For instance, a method of treating a neurodegenerative disease includes methods of treating or preventing loss of neuronal function characteristic of neurodegenerative disease.


In some embodiments, the compounds of the invention are useful in preventing or reducing the risk of developing any of the diseases referred to herein; e.g., preventing or reducing the risk of developing a disease, condition or disorder in an individual who may be predisposed to the disease, condition or disorder but does not yet experience or display the pathology or symptomatology of the disease.

This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, the compound of the present disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In some embodiments, the composition is suitable for topical administration. In making the compositions of the invention, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, e.g., a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, e.g., up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions and sterile packaged powders.


In some embodiments, the composition is a sustained release composition comprising at least one compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient


The compositions can be formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 5 to about 1,000 mg (1 g). The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.


The active compound may be effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a therapeutically effective amount. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will usually be determined by a physician, according to the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms and the like.


The therapeutic dosage of a compound of the present invention can vary according to, e.g., the particular use for which the treatment is made, the manner of administration of the compound, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a compound of the invention in a pharmaceutical composition can vary depending upon a number of factors including dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of administration. The dosage is likely to depend on such variables as the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the compound selected, formulation of the excipient, and its route of administration. Effective doses can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.


The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of the present invention can be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

Example A. LRRK2 Kinase Activity

LRRK2 kinase activity was measured using a LanthaScreen™ Kinase Activity Assay from ThermoFisher Scientific. Recombinant wild type or G2019S-LRRK2 protein (Life Technologies, PR8604B or PV4881, respectively), was incubated with a fluorescein-labeled peptide substrate called LRRKtide that is based upon ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) (Life Technologies, PV4901) in the presence of ATP and serially diluted compound. After an incubation period of 1 hr, the phosphotransferase activity was stopped and a terbium-labelled anti-pERM antibody (Life Technologies, PV4899) was added to detect the phosphorylation of LRRKtide by measuring the time resolved-Förster resonant energy transfer (TR-FRET) signal from the terbium label on the antibody to the fluorescein tag on LRRKtide, expressed as the 520 nm/495 nm emission ratio. Compound-dependent inhibition of the TR-FRET signal was used to generate a concentration-response curve for IC50 determination.


The assay was carried out under the following protocol conditions: 1 mM compound in DMSO was serially diluted 1:3, 11 points in DMSO with a Biomek FX and 0.1 μL of the diluted compound was subsequently stamped into the assay plate (384-well format Lumitrac 200, Greiner, 781075) with an Echo Labcyte such that the final compound concentration in the assay was 10 μM to 169 μM. Subsequently, 5 μL of 2×kinase solution (2.9 nM final concentration) was added to the assay plate in assay buffer composed of 50 mM Tris pH 8.5 (Sigma, T6791), 5 mM MgCl2 (Fluka, 63020), 1 mM EGTA (Sigma, E3889), 0.01% BRIJ-35 (Sigma, P1254) and 2 mM DTT. The reaction was started by addition of 2×ATP/LRRKtide solution in assay buffer such that the final concentration was 400 nM LRRKtide and 25 μM ATP. After 60 min incubation at room temperature, the reaction was stopped by addition of 10 μL of 2×stop solution containing a final concentration of 2 nM anti-pERM antibody and 10 mM EDTA. After a 30 min incubation at RT, the TR-FRET signal was measured on a Wallac 2104 EnVision® multilabel reader at an excitation wavelength of 340 nm and reading emission at 520 nm and 495 nm. The ratio of the 520 nm and 495 nm emission was used to analyze the data.


The Results of the LRRK2 kinase activity assay are shown in Table A-1. Data is displayed as follows: + is IC50≤100 nM; ++ is 100 nM<IC50≤1,000 nM; and +++ is 1,000 nM<IC50≤10,000 nM.
