Description
BACKGROUND

Discovered as a human oncogene in the early 1980s, the Kirsten rat sarcoma virus homolog (KRAS) gene encodes a monomeric small 21 kDa GTPase that has long been an elusive cancer drug target (Chang et al., PNAS, 1982, 79:4848-52; McCoy et al., Nature, 1983, 302:79-8). KRAS functions as a molecular switch for promoting cell growth by cycling between GTP- and GDP-bound states. In the GTP-bound state, KRAS signals for growth through the RAF-MAPK and PI3K-AKT-MTOR pathways. KRAS subsequently hydrolyzes GTP to GDP with the aid of GTPase activating proteins (GAPs). This GDP-bound state switches “off” KRAS pro-growth signaling. KRAS can then be switched back “on” by GDP to GTP exchange through the aid of guanine nucleotide exchange factors, such as SOS1 (Cox and Der, Small GTPases, 2010, 1:2-27; Kerk et al., Nat Rev Cancer, 2021, 21:510-525). Preventing this exchange by locking KRAS in the GDP-bound state is a practical method for inhibiting its growth promoting activity.


The human KRAS gene is encoded on Chromosome 12p12.1 and is among the most frequently mutated genes in human cancers (Pylayeva-Gupta et al., Nat Rev Cancer, 2011, 11:761-774). Mutations that prevent GTP-hydrolysis lock KRAS in the active GTP-bound state and reprogram cells for perpetual proliferation. KRAS mutated from glycine (G) at the 12th codon to aspartate (D) creates a chronically active KRAS(G12D) oncoprotein, the gene for which is observed in 6.8% of cancers cases as analyzed by next-generation sequencing (Zhou et al., Pathol Oncol Res, 2020, 26:2835-2837). In tumor type-specific studies, KRAS(G12D) is associated with poor clinical outcomes and observed in 17% of lung, 14.3% of colorectal, and 48% of pancreatic tumors (Aredo et al., Lung Cancer, 2019, 133:144-150; Olmedillas-Lopez et al., World J Gastroenterol, 2017, 23(39):7087-709; Miglio et al., Pathol Res Pract, 2014, 210:307-11; Gou et al., Br J Cancer, 2020, 22:857-867), among other cancers. Historically, oncogenic KRAS mutants have been considered undruggable (McCormick F, Biochem J, 2019, 476:356-74), however the discovery of an allosteric pocket in GDP-bound KRAS has allowed the search for small molecule inhibitors (Ostrem et al., Nature, 2013, 503: 548-51). The G12D mutation moreover provides a unique chemical moiety-binding space due to the encoding of an acidic amino acid residue (D) in place of a small flexible amino acid residue possessing only a hydrogen side chain (G). This alteration of the KRAS protein structure provides a unique space that may be targeted with small molecules drugs that specifically inhibit KRAS(G12D) oncogenic activity. It is therefore desirable to design and develop small molecule drugs that target KRAS(G12D) with sufficient bioavailability to treat diseases such as cancer.


SUMMARY

Provided herein are small molecule inhibitors of the KRAS(G12D) mutant oncoprotein. Inhibitors of KRAS(G12D) include those having the structural formula I*:





R00F2C—L—R0   (I*)


and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and compositions comprising such, wherein L, R0, and It' are as defined herein. The use of these compounds, salts, and compositions for treating diseases responsive to the inhibition of KRAS(G12D), such as cancer, is also disclosed.


In one aspect, by virtue of the trifluoroacetyl group on the nitrogen atom of the diazabicylooctanyl, the disclosed compounds show improved bioavailability over non-trifluoroacetylated counterparts and/or derivatives. See e.g., Table 2 which shows that introduction of the trifluoroacetyl group on the nitrogen atom of the diazabicylooctanyl resulted in at least at 15-fold increase in %F for inventive compounds.

4. Uses, Formulation and Administration

Compounds and compositions described herein are generally useful as anticancer therapies. In one aspect, the disclosed compounds and compositions behave as inhibitors of KRAS(G12D). Their mechanisms of action include, but are not limited to, inhibiting KRAS(G12D) and thereby impeding down-stream signals that may result in inhibition of cancer cell growth and/or induction of cancer cell death or other KRAS or KRAS(G12D) functions. In one aspect, the disclosed compounds effectuate the inhibition of KRAS(G12D).


Thus, provided herein are methods of treating conditions which are responsive to the inhibition of KRAS(G12D) comprising administering to a subject in need thereof, a therapeutically effective amount of one or more compounds or compositions described herein. Also provided is the use of one or more compounds or compositions described herein in the manufacture of a medicament for treating conditions which are responsive to the inhibition of KRAS(G12D). Further provided is the use of a compound or composition described herein for treating conditions which are responsive to the inhibition of KRAS(G12D).


In one aspect, the condition treated by the present compounds and compositions is a cancer. The terms “cancer” or “tumor” are well known in the art and refer to the presence, e.g., in a subject, of cells possessing characteristics typical of cancer-causing cells, such as uncontrolled proliferation, immortality, metastatic potential, rapid growth and proliferation rate, decreased cell death/apoptosis, and certain characteristic morphological features. Cancer cells are often in the form of a solid tumor. However, cancer also includes non-solid tumors, e.g., blood tumors, e.g., leukemia, wherein the cancer cells are derived from bone marrow. As used herein, the term “cancer” includes pre-malignant as well as malignant cancers. Cancers include, but are not limited to, acoustic neuroma, acute leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myelocytic leukemia (monocytic, myeloblastic, adenocarcinoma, angiosarcoma, astrocytoma, myelomonocytic and promyelocytic), acute T-cell leukemia, basal cell carcinoma, bile duct carcinoma, bladder cancer, brain cancer, breast cancer, bronchogenic carcinoma, cervical cancer, chondrosarcoma, chordoma, choriocarcinoma, chronic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelocytic (granulocytic) leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, craniopharyngioma, cystadenocarcinoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, dysproliferative changes (dysplasias and metaplasias), embryonal carcinoma, endometrial cancer, endotheliosarcoma, ependymoma, epithelial carcinoma, erythroleukemia, esophageal cancer, estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer, essential thrombocythemia, Ewing's tumor, fibrosarcoma, follicular lymphoma, germ cell testicular cancer, glioma, heavy chain disease, hemangioblastoma, hepatoma, hepatocellular cancer, hormone insensitive prostate cancer, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, lung cancer, lymphagioendotheliosarcoma, lymphangiosarcoma, lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoma (Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin), malignancies and hyperproliferative disorders of the bladder, breast, colon, lung, ovaries, pancreas, prostate, skin, and uterus, lymphoid malignancies of T-cell or B-cell origin, leukemia, lymphoma, medullary carcinoma, medulloblastoma, melanoma, meningioma, mesothelioma, multiple myeloma, myelogenous leukemia, myeloma, myxosarcoma, neuroblastoma, non-small cell lung cancer, oligodendroglioma, oral cancer, osteogenic sarcoma, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, papillary adenocarcinomas, papillary carcinoma, pinealoma, polycythemia vera, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, renal cell carcinoma, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, sarcoma, sebaceous gland carcinoma, seminoma, skin cancer, small cell lung carcinoma, solid tumors (carcinomas and sarcomas), small cell lung cancer, stomach cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, synovioma, sweat gland carcinoma, thyroid cancer, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, testicular tumors, uterine cancer, and Wilms' tumor. Other cancers include primary cancer, metastatic cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, liver cancer, gall bladder cancer, bile duct cancer, small intestine cancer, urinary tract cancer, kidney cancer, urothelium cancer, female genital tract cancer, uterine cancer, gestational trophoblastic disease, male genital tract cancer, seminal vesicle cancer, testicular cancer, germ cell tumors, endocrine gland tumors, thyroid cancer, adrenal cancer, pituitary gland cancer, hemangioma, sarcoma arising from bone and soft tissues, Kaposi's sarcoma, nerve cancer, ocular cancer, meningial cancer, glioblastomas, neuromas, neuroblastomas, Schwannomas, solid tumors arising from hematopoietic malignancies such as leukemias, metastatic melanoma, recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, melanoma, glioblastoma multiforme, non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer, malignant glioma, epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal serous cancer, metastatic liver cancer, neuroendocrine carcinoma, refractory malignancy, triple negative breast cancer, HER2-amplified breast cancer, nasopharageal cancer, oral cancer, biliary tract, hepatocellular carcinoma, squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN), non-medullary thyroid carcinoma, recurrent glioblastoma multiforme, neurofibromatosis type 1, CNS cancer, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, salivary gland cancer, mucosal melanoma, acral/lentiginous melanoma, paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, advanced metastatic cancer, solid tumor, triple negative breast cancer, colorectal cancer, sarcoma, melanoma, renal carcinoma, endometrial cancer, thyroid cancer, rhabdomysarcoma, multiple myeloma, ovarian cancer, glioblastoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, mantle cell lymphoma, and refractory malignancy.


“Solid tumor,” as used herein, is understood as any pathogenic tumor that can be palpated or detected using imaging methods as an abnormal growth having three dimensions. A solid tumor is differentiated from a blood tumor such as leukemia. However, cells of a blood tumor are derived from bone marrow; therefore, the tissue producing the cancer cells is a solid tissue that can be hypoxic.


“Tumor tissue” or “tumorous tissue” are understood as cells, extracellular matrix, and other naturally occurring components associated with the solid tumor.


A specific dosage and treatment regimen for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the judgment of the treating physician and the severity of the particular disease being treated. The amount of a compound described herein in the composition will also depend upon the particular compound in the composition.

Biological Assays/Testing

Cell lines


The following cancer cell lines were employed: A427 human lung carcinoma [1 copy of KRAS(G12D)] (ATCC, #HTB-53); AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma [1 copy of KRAS(G12D)] (ATCC, #CRL-1739); and AsPC-1 human adenocarcinoma [2 copies of KRAS(G12D)] (ATCC, CRL-1682). Cell lines were cultured essentially according to American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) recommendations.


Cell Cytotoxicity

A427 and AGS cells were plated in 96-well tissue culture plates at 4,000 cells/well and incubated at 37° C/5% CO2 for 72 hr in 100 μl of media. 3-fold serial dilutions of each test compound were prepared ranging from 20 μM to 1.02 nM. Each cell line was then treated with test compounds at various concentrations with a final concentration of 0.5%


DMSO/well, and then incubated at 37° C/5% CO2 for 24 hr. 100 Ill of CellTiter-Glo® Reagent (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI) was added to each well and processed according manufacturer's protocol. Results were analyzed and IC50 values were calculated in GraphPad 7 software. Results are listed in Table 1.


KRAS(GI2D)/SOSI Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) Assay

Binding of test compounds to KRAS(G12D) target protein, which in turn blocks KRAS(G12D) interaction with the SOS1 protein, was measured in the absences of GTP by homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence using the KRAS-G12D/SOS1 Binding Assay Kit (Cisbio, #63ADK000CB16PEG), following the manufacturer's instructions, except as noted. 3-fold serial dilutions of each test compound were prepared ranging from 20 μM to 1.02 nM. The test compound was mixed and incubated with reaction components, incubated in a sealed plate at 4° C. for 3 hr and fluorescence was measured using a PerkinElmer Envision plate reader. The KRAS(G12D)-SOS1 IC50 values (the concentration of 50% of the maximal inhibition) were calculated using GraphPad Prism 7 software. Results are listed in Table 1.

In Vivo Xenograft Tumor Model

BALB/c nude mice at 8 to 9 weeks age were maintained in a pathogen-free environment. AsPC-1 cells (5×106) were subcutaneously implanted into female mice. Mice bearing established tumors (˜170 mm3) were randomized into treatment groups of 4. Mice were intravenously (i.v.) dosed with 5% sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin (SBECD) vehicle control once a week (QW) or orally dosed (PO) twice a day (BID) with 75 mg/kg Compound 3, for over 3 weeks. Tumors were measured twice a week with calipers. Tumor volume (TV) was calculated as TV=(L×W2)/2, where L is tumor length and W is tumor width. Results were graphed with +/− standard error (SEM). Student T-test with Bonferroni post hoc adjustment was used to measure statistical significance of the final (day 24) tumor measurements (P=0.036). Results are shown in FIG. 1.
