FIELD

This application is directed to MAP4K1 inhibitors and methods for their use, such as to control the activity of MAP4K1 in a subject.


BACKGROUND

MAP4K1, also known as hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1), was originally cloned from hematopoietic progenitor cells (Hu, M. C., et al., Genes Dev, 1996. 10(18): p. 2251-64). MAP4K1 is of particular interest as a target, because it is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells such as T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and mast cells (Hu, M. C., et al, Genes Dev, 1996. 10(18): p. 2251-64; Kiefer, F., et al, EMBO J, 1996. 15(24): p. 7013-25). MAP4K1 kinase activity has been shown to be induced upon activation of T cell receptors (TCR) (Liou, J., et al., Immunity, 2000. 12(4): p. 399-408), B cell receptors (BCR) (Liou, J., et al., Immunity, 2000. 12(4): p. 399-408), transforming growth factor receptor (TGF-R) (Wang, W., et al, J Biol Chem, 1997. 272(36): p. 22771-5; Zhou, G., et al, J Biol Chem, 1999. 274(19): p. 13133-8), or Gs-coupled PGE2 receptors (EP2 and EP4) (Ikegami, R, et al, J Immunol, 2001. 166(7): p. 4689-96). As such, MAP4K1 regulates diverse functions of various immune cells.


MAP4K1 is important in regulating the functions of various immune cells and it has been implicated in autoimmune diseases and anti-tumor immunity (Shui, J. W., et al, Nat Immunol, 2007. 8(1): p. 84-91; Wang, X., et al, J Biol Chem, 2012. 287(14): p. 11037-48). Those observations suggested that attenuation of MAP4K1 activity may contribute to autoimmunity in patients. Furthermore, MAP4K1 may also control anti-tumor immunity via T cell-dependent mechanisms. In the PGE2-producing Lewis lung carcinoma tumor model, the tumors developed more slowly in MAP4K1 knockout mice as compared to wild-type mice (see US 2007/0087988). In addition, it was shown that adoptive transfer of MAP4K1 deficient T cells was more effective in controlling tumor growth and metastasis than wild-type T cells (Alzabin, S., et al., Cancer Immunol Immunother, 2010. 59(3): p. 419-29). Similarly, bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) from MAP4K1 knockout mice were more efficient to mount a T cell response to eradicate Lewis lung carcinoma as compared to wild-type BMDCs (Alzabin, S., et al., J Immunol, 2009. 182(10): p. 6187-94). Data obtained from MAP4K1 kinase dead mice demonstrated that MAP4K1 kinase activity is critical in conferring suppressive functions of MAP4K1 in a wide range of immune cells including CD4+, CD8+, DC, NK to T regulatory cells (Tregs) and inactivation of kinase domain was sufficient to elict robust anti-tumor immune responses. Liu et at, PLoS ONE 14(3):e0212670 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0212670. Moreover, loss of MAP4K1 kinase function suppresses tumor growth in preclinical tumor models and therapeutic co-blockade of MAP4K1 kinase and PD-L1 enhances anti-tumor responses. Hernandez S. et al., Cell Reports 2018 25: p. 80-94. Recently presented results show tumor growth inhibition in a CT-26 syngeneic mouse model using a small molecule (Seungmook, L., Cancer research.AACR Journal, 2019, Abstract 4150). These data have validated MAP4K1 as a novel drug target for enhancing antitumor immunity. Accordingly, there is a need for new compounds that modulate MAP4K1 activity for the treatment of MAP4K1-dependent diseases or disorders such as cancer, viral infection, and other diseases and disorders.

Included in the present teachings are pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds disclosed herein (including compounds disclosed in Table 1 and Exemplification) as well as the corresponding neutral form.


Another embodiment of the disclosure a deuterated is a compound disclosed herein, including a compound of Formulas I-IV, V(A)-V(C), VI(A)-VI(C), VII-IX, VII(A)-IX(A) and X or a compound in Table 1 and exemplification or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the foregoing, in which one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced with deuterium. The deuterium enrichment at any one of the sites where hydrogen has been replaced by deuterium is at least 50%, 75%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or 99%. Deuterium enrichment is a mole percent and is obtained by dividing the number of compounds with deuterium enrichment at the site of enrichment with the number of compounds having hydrogen or deuterium at the site of enrichment.


Definitions


As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to pharmaceutical salts that are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, and allergic response, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al. describes pharmacologically acceptable salts in J. Pharm. Sci. (1977) 66:1-19. Compounds of the present teachings with basic groups can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acid(s). Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds described herein include salts of inorganic acids (such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic, phosphoric, nitric, and sulfuric acids) and of organic acids (such as acetic acid, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, methanesulfonic, and p-toluenesulfonic acids). Compounds of the present teachings with acidic groups can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with pharmaceutically acceptable base(s). Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts (such as sodium and potassium salts) and alkaline earth metal salts (such as magnesium and calcium salts).


The term “alkyl” used alone or as part of a larger moiety, such as “alkoxy”, “hydroxyalkyl” and the like, means a saturated aliphatic straight-chain or branched monovalent hydrocarbon radical. Unless otherwise specified, an alkyl group typically has 1 to 6 carbon atoms (C1-6 alkyl), alternatively, 1 to 3 carbon atoms (C1-3 alkyl). “C1-6 alkyl” is means a radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms in a linear or branched arrangement, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, and the like.


“Alkoxy” means an alkyl radical attached through an oxygen linking atom, represented by —O-alkyl, wherein alkyl is as defined above. For example, “C1-6 alkoxy” includes methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, pentoxy, isopentoxy, isopropoxy, and hexoxy.


The term “halogen” or “halo” means fluorine or fluoro (F), chlorine or chloro (Cl), bromine or bromo (Br), or iodine or iodo (I).


“Cycloalkyl” means a saturated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon ring radical. Unless otherwise specified, a cycloalkyl has 3 to 8 ring carbon atoms (C3-8 cycloalkyl) (i.e., 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8), alternatively, 3 to 6 ring carbon atoms (C3-6 cycloalkyl) (i.e., 3, 4, 5, or 6), alternatively, 3 to 5 carbon atoms (C3-5 cycloalkyl) (i.e., 3, 4, or 5). “C3-6 Cycloalkyl” means a radical having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms arranged in a monocyclic ring. A C3-6 cycloalkyl includes cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl. A C3-5 cycloalkyl includes cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, and cyclopentyl.


The term “heterocycle” refers to a monocyclic non-aromatic ring radical containing unless otherwise specified, 3 to 8 ring atoms (i.e., “3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 membered”) selected from carbon atom and 1 or 2 heteroatoms. Each heteroatom is independently selected from nitrogen, quaternary nitrogen, oxidized nitrogen (e.g., NO); oxygen; and sulfur, including sulfoxide and sulfone. Representative heterocycles include morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, pyrrolidinonyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, hydantoinyl, valerolactamyl, oxiranyl, oxetanyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahydropyrindinyl, tetrahydropyrimidinyl, tetrahydrothiophenyl, tetrahydrothiopyranyl, and the like.


The term “substituted”, whether preceded by the term “optionally” or not, refers to the replacement of a hydrogen substituent in a given structure with a non-hydrogen substituent. Thus, for example, a substituted alkyl is an alkyl wherein at least one non-hydrogen substituent is in the place of a hydrogen substituent on the alkyl group. To illustrate, monofluoroalkyl is an alkyl substituted with a fluoro substituent, and difluoroalkyl is an alkyl substituted with two fluoro substituents. It should be recognized that if there is more than one substitution on a substituent, each non-hydrogen substituent can be identical or different (unless otherwise stated).


If a group is described as being “optionally substituted”, the group can be either (1) not substituted or (2) substituted.


If a group is described as being optionally substituted with up to a particular number of non-hydrogen substituents, that group can be either (1) not substituted; or (2) substituted by up to that particular number of non-hydrogen substituents or by up to the maximum number of substitutable positions on the substituent, whichever is less. Thus, for example, if a group is described as a cycloalkyl optionally substituted with up to 3 non-hydrogen substituents, then any cycloalkyl with less than 3 substitutable positions would be optionally substituted by up to only as many non-hydrogen substituents as the cycloalkyl has substitutable positions.


Compounds having one or more chiral centers can exist in various stereoisomeric forms, i.e., each chiral center can have an R or S configuration or can be a mixture of both. Stereoisomers are compounds that differ only in their spatial arrangement. Stereoisomers include all diastereomeric and enantiomeric forms of a compound. Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other. Diastereomers are stereoisomers having two or more chiral centers that are not identical and are not mirror images of each other.


When the stereochemical configuration at a chiral center in a compound having one or more chiral centers is depicted by its chemical name (e.g., where the configuration is indicated in the chemical name by “R” or “S”) or structure (e.g., the configuration is indicated by “wedge” bonds), the enrichment of the indicated configuration relative to the opposite configuration is greater than 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% (except when the designation “rac” or “racemate accompanies the structure or name, as explained in the following two paragraphs). “Enrichment of the indicated configuration relative to the opposite configuration” is a mole percent and is determined by dividing the number of compounds with the indicated stereochemical configuration at the chiral center(s) by the total number of all of the compounds with the same or opposite stereochemical configuration in a mixture.


When the stereochemical configuration at a chiral center in a compound is depicted by chemical name (e.g., where the configuration is indicated in the name by “R” or “S”) or structure (e.g., the configuration is indicated by “wedge” bonds) and the designation “rac” or “racemate” accompanies the structure or is designated in the chemical name, a racemic mixture is intended.


When two or more stereoisomers are depicted by their chemical names or structures, and the names or structures are connected by an “or”, one or the other of the two or more stereoisomers is intended, but not both.


When a disclosed compound having a chiral center is depicted by a structure without showing a configuration at that chiral center, the structure is meant to encompass the compound with the S configuration at that chiral center, the compound with the R configuration at that chiral center, or the compound with a mixture of the R and S configuration at that chiral center. When a disclosed compound having a chiral center is depicted by its chemical name without indicating a configuration at that chiral center with “S” or “R”, the name is meant to encompass the compound with the S configuration at that chiral center, the compound with the R configuration at that chiral center or the compound with a mixture of the R and S configuration at that chiral center.


A racemic mixture means a mixture of 50% of one enantiomer and 50% of its corresponding enantiomer. The present teachings encompass all enantiomerically-pure, enantiomerically-enriched, diastereomerically pure, diastereomerically enriched, and racemic mixtures, and diastereomeric mixtures of the compounds described herein.


Enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures can be resolved into their component enantiomers or stereoisomers by well known methods, such as chiral-phase gas chromatography, chiral-phase high performance liquid chromatography, crystallizing the compound as a chiral salt complex, or crystallizing the compound in a chiral solvent. Enantiomers and diastereomers can also be obtained from diastereomerically- or enantiomerically-pure intermediates, reagents, and catalysts by well known asymmetric synthetic methods.


“Peak 1” or “first eluting isomer” in the Experimental section refers to an intended reaction product compound obtained from a chromatography separation/purification that elutes earlier than a second intended reaction product compound from the same preceding reaction. The second intended product compound is referred to as “peak 2” or “second eluting isomer”.


When a compound is designated by a name or structure that indicates a single enantiomer, unless indicated otherwise, the compound is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% optically pure (also referred to as “enantiomerically pure”). Optical purity is the weight in the mixture of the named or depicted enantiomer divided by the total weight in the mixture of both enantiomers.


When the stereochemistry of a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure, and the named or depicted structure encompasses more than one stereoisomer (e.g., as in a diastereomeric pair), it is to be understood that, unless otherwise indicated, one of the encompassed stereoisomers or any mixture of the encompassed stereoisomers are included. It is to be further understood that the stereoisomeric purity of the named or depicted stereoisomers at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight. The stereoisomeric purity in this case is determined by dividing the total weight in the mixture of the stereoisomers encompassed by the name or structure by the total weight in the mixture of all of the stereoisomers.


Use


Compounds of the disclosure are MAP4K1 inhibitors. The use of the word “inhibitor” means that a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof inhibits activity of MAP4K1. By “inhibit” herein is meant to decrease the activity of the target enzyme as compared to the activity of that enzyme in the absence of the inhibitor. In some alternatives, the term “inhibit” means a decrease in MAP4K1 activity of at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 79%, at least 80%, at least 90% or at least 95%. In other alternatives, inhibit means a decrease in MAP4K1 activity of 5% to 25%, 25% to 50%, 50 to 70%, 75 to 100%. In some embodiments, inhibit means a decrease in MAP4K1 activity about 95% to 100%, e.g., a decrease in activity of 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%. Such decreases can be measured using a variety of techniques that would be recognizable by one of skill in the art, including in vitro kinase assays.


Compounds of the disclosure are selective MAP4K1 inhibitors. As used herein, a “selective MAP4K1 inhibitor” refers to a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that has the ability to selectively inhibit MAP4K1 kinase over other targets. More specifically, a selective MAP4K1 inhibitor has the ability to selectively inhibit MAP4K1 over another kinase. A selective MAP4K1 inhibitor has the ability to selectively reduce target signaling activity relative to off-target signaling activity, via direct or indirect interaction with the target. The ability to selectively target MAP4K1 with a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof provides advantages in terms of improved potency, less off-target activity and an increased probability of clinical success in comparison with a non-selective compound or salt. A MAP4K1 inhibitor that selectively inhibits MAP4K1 may have an activity that is at least 2-fold relative to another kinase (e.g., at least 10-fold; at least 15-fold; at least 20-fold; at least 30-fold; at least 40-fold selectivity; at least 50-fold; at least 60-fold; at least 70-fold; at least 80-fold; at least 90-fold; at least 100-fold; at least 125-fold; at least 150-fold; at least 175-fold; or at least 200-fold. In some alternatives, a selective MAP4K1 inhibitor exhibits at least 15-fold selectivity over another kinase, e.g., LCK and MAP4K family members (MAP4K4 (HGK) and MAP4K3 (GLK)). In some alternatives, the selective MAP4K1 inhibitors are selective over EGFR and L858R/T790M EGFR. In some alternatives, the selective MAP4K1 inhibitors of the disclosure are selective over BTK. In some alternatives, the selective MAP4K1 inhibitors of the disclosure are selective over JNK.

Example 19: Inhibition of MAP4K1 Biochemical Enzymatic Activity

MAP4K1 (HPK1) and relevant off-target enzymatic activity was monitored using the Perkin Elmer electrophoretic mobility shift technology platform—the EZReader 2. Fluorescent labeled substrate peptide was incubated in the presence of kinase and ATP, and in the presence of dosed compound, such that each dose of compound resulted in a reflective proportion of the peptide to be phosphorylated. Within the linear, steady-state phase of the kinase enzymatic reaction, the mixed pool of phosphorylated (product) and non-phosphorylated (substrate) peptides was passed through the microfluidic system of the PerkinElmer EZ Reader 2, under an applied electric potential difference. The presence of the phosphate group on the product peptide provided a difference in mass and charge between that of the substrate peptide, resulting in a separation of the substrate and product pools in the sample (Perrin et al. 2010). As the product and substrate peptide mixture passes the lasers within the instrument, these pools are detected (λex=488 nm, λent=568 nm) and resolved as separate peaks. The ratio between these peaks reflects the activity of the compound at that concentration, in that well, under those conditions.


Enzyme Activity Inhibition Assay Protocol:


Inhibitors were dissolved in 100% DMSO at a stock concentration of 10 mM. A 100×, 10-point, 4-fold serial dilution of each inhibitor was created in 100% DMSO either manually or on a Hamilton STAR liquid handler, starting at a relevant concentration, usually 1 mM. A volume of 0.130 μL of each concentration was transferred to the relevant wells of a 384-well plate (Greiner 781 201) in duplicate using a TTPLabtech Mosquito nano-litre dispenser. Using a Multidrop Combi, the remaining constituents of the kinase reaction were added to the 130 nL of dosed compound as follows (see table below for final reaction details):


Enzyme activity assays at the APPKM for ATP or 1 mM ATP: In each well of a 384-well plate, 0.1-15 nM of untreated enzyme was incubated in a total of 13 μL of buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij 35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT) with 1.5 μM fluorescent peptid and 20-1000 μM ATP, at 25° C., for 60-180 minutes in the presence or absence of a dosed concentration series of compound (1% DMSO final concentration). The kinase reactions were stopped by the addition of 70 μl of Stop buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij 35, 35 mM EDTA and 0.2% of Coating Reagent 3 (Caliper Lifesciences)). The plates were read on a Caliper EZReader 2 as described above.

Example 20: T Cell Enhancement of Cytokines

Isolation and Expansion of T Cells from Whole Blood


T cells are isolated from whole blood of healthy donors by immunomagnetic negative selection following manufacture's protocol (StemCell Technologies, human T cell isolation kit). Purity of isolated cells is assessed by flow cytometry and yields 95-98% CD3+ T cells. For expansion of T cells, 1×106 cells/well are plated in serum free cell expansion media (ThermoFisher) containing 30 U of recombinant human IL2 (R&D) and stimulated with 25 ul of CD3/CD28 beads (Invitrogen) in 24 well plates for 3-4 days. T cells are then expanded in 175 cm flasks and maintained at a cell density of 1 to 2.5×106 cells/ml days by addition of ⅔ of fresh media every 2-3 days. After 10-14 days, cells are frozen in BamBanker freezing media (Thermo) and stored in liquid nitrogen. Phenotypic analysis of expanded T cells by flow cytometry, routinely shows 60% cells are CD8+ T cells upon freezing.


Cytokine Measurement


For IL2 measurement, expanded CD3+ T cells are dispensed at 100K cells/well (cultured in X-VIVO 10 Serum-free media) and are stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28 in the presence of vehicle or compound of the disclosure at various concentrations for 24 h. As outlined in the manufacturer's protocol (Cisbio), 16 μL of conditioned media is transferred to a white 384-well low volume plate. Following a 24 h incubation with the anti-IL2 antibodies, the homogenous time resolved fluorescence (HTRF) is measured.


Example 21: Inhibition of Anti-Tumor Activity in a Syngeneic Mouse Model

Generation of the MCA205 Syngeneic Xenograft Anti-Tumor Efficacy Study


Six to eight-week-old female, C57BL/6 mice (Jackson Labs, Bar Harbor, Me.) are implanted subcutaneously on the left flank with 1×106 MCA205 cells/mouse. After tumors reach an average volume of 50 mm3, mice are randomized into treatment groups, 10 mice per group, with tumors in the size range of 30-70 mm3. Compounds of the disclosure 10-30 mg/kg, anti-mouse PD-L1 mAb (B7H1, clone #10F.9G2 Bio-X-cell, Lebanon, N.H.) and vehicle either alone or in different combinations are administered to tumor bearing mice. Reduction in tumor volume is measured [mm3] over time.
