Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compounds that inhibit the KRAS G12C protein; methods of treating diseases or conditions, such as cancer, using the compounds; and pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds.


BACKGROUND

KRAS gene mutations are common in pancreatic cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, gall bladder cancer, thyroid cancer, and bile duct cancer. KRAS mutations are also observed in about 25% of patients with NSCLC, and some studies have indicated that KRAS mutations are a negative prognostic factor in patients with NSCLC. Recently, V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations have been found to confer resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) targeted therapies in colorectal cancer; accordingly, the mutational status of KRAS can provide important information prior to the prescription of TKI therapy. Taken together, there is a need for new medical treatments for patients with pancreatic cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, or colorectal cancer, especially those who have been diagnosed to have such cancers characterized by a KRAS mutation, and including those who have progressed after chemotherapy.


The compounds disclosed herein can be in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The compounds provided can be formulated into a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a compound disclosed herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.


Also provided is a method of inhibiting KRAS G12C in a cell, comprising contacting the cell with a compound or composition disclosed herein. Further provided is a method of treating cancer in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound or composition disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the cancer is lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, or colorectal cancer.

Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e. 2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence are preferred in some circumstances.


Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as 11C, 18F, 15O and 13N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds of structure (I) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Preparations and Examples as set out below using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.


Isotopically-labeled compounds as disclosed herein can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the accompanying examples and schemes using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.


Certain of the compounds as disclosed herein may exist as stereoisomers (i.e., isomers that differ only in the spatial arrangement of atoms) including optical isomers and conformational isomers (or conformers). The compounds disclosed herein include all stereoisomers, both as pure individual stereoisomer preparations and enriched preparations of each, and both the racemic mixtures of such stereoisomers as well as the individual diastereomers and enantiomers that may be separated according to methods that are known to those skilled in the art. Additionally, the compounds disclosed herein include all tautomeric forms of the compounds.


Certain of the compounds disclosed herein may exist as atropisomers, which are conformational stereoisomers that occur when rotation about a single bond in the molecule is prevented, or greatly slowed, as a result of steric interactions with other parts of the molecule. The compounds disclosed herein include all atropisomers, both as pure individual atropisomer preparations, enriched preparations of each, or a non-specific mixture of each. Where the rotational barrier about the single bond is high enough, and interconversion between conformations is slow enough, separation and isolation of the isomeric species may be permitted.

Step 1. 3-Chloro-8-cyclopentyl-2-(2-fluorophenyl)-8-methyl-1,6-naphthyridine-5,7(6H,8H)-dione

To a 100-mL round-bottomed flask was added 2-cyclopentylpropanenitrile (Intermediate I-1x, 0.691 g, 5.61 mmol) in toluene (3.51 mL). The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. with an ice bath, then potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1.0M in THF) (6.31 mL, 6.31 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo., USA) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 0° C. while under an inert (N2) atmosphere for 30 min. Then a heterogeneous mixture of 2,5-dichloro-6-(2-fluorophenyl)nicotinamide (Intermediate 99B, 0.400 g 1.4040 mol) in toluene (3.51 mL) was added to the reaction mixture. The resulting reaction mixture was allowed to stir 30 min, while the temperature was maintained at 0° C., then the ice bath was removed and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature over 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with sat. aq. NaHCO3 and EtOAc. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo.


The crude residue was treated with cone, hydrochloric acid, 37% a.c.s. reagent (2.60 mL, 84 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated and stirred at 70° C. for 16 h.

For compounds in Table 5, in which a mixture of atropisomers and phosphorus isomers are listed, the following assay conditions were employed:


Coupled Nucleotide Exchange Assay:


Purified GDP-bound KRAS protein (aa 1-169), containing both G12C and C118A amino acid substitutions and an N-terminal His-tag, was pre-incubated in assay buffer (25 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, and 0.01% Triton X-100) with a compound dose-response titration for either 5 min or 2 hours (see Table 15). Following compound pre-incubation, purified SOS protein (aa 564-1049) and GTP (Roche 10106399001) were added to the assay wells and incubated for an additional 30 min (for 5 min compound pre-incubation) or 1 hour (for 2 hour compound pre-incubation). To determine the extent of inhibition of SOS-mediated nucleotide exchange, purified GST-tagged cRAF (aa 1-149), nickel chelate AlphaLISA acceptor beads (PerkinElmer AL108R), and AlphaScreen glutathione donor beads (PerkinElmer 6765302) were added to the assay wells and incubated for 10 minutes. The assay plates were then read on a PerkinElmer EnVision Multilabel Reader, using AlphaScreen® technology, and data were analyzed using a 4-parameter logistic model to calculate IC50 values.


Phospho-ERK1/2 MSD Assay:


MIA PaCa-2 (ATCC® CRL-1420™)-cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 Medium (ThermoFisher Scientific 11875093) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (ThermoFisher Scientific 16000044) and 1× penicillin-streptomycin-glutamine (ThermoFisher Scientific 10378016). Sixteen hours prior to compound treatment, MIA PaCa-2 cells were seeded in 96-well cell culture plates at a density of 25,000 cells/well and incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2. A compound dose-response titration was diluted in growth media, added to appropriate wells of a cell culture plate, and then incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 2 or 4 hours. Following compound treatment, cells were stimulated with 10 ng/mL EGF (Roche 11376454001) for 10 min, washed with ice-cold Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline, no Ca2+ or Mg2+ (ThermoFisher Scientific 14190144), and then lysed in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HC pH 7.5, 1% Igepal, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate) containing protease inhibitors (Roche 4693132001) and phosphatase inhibitors (Roche 4906837001). Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in compound-treated lysates was assayed using Phospho-ERK1/2 Whole Cell Lysate kits (Meso Scale Discovery KI51DWD) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Assay plates were read on a Meso Scale Discovery Sector Imager 6000, and data were analyzed using a 4-parameter logistic model to calculate IC50 values.
