FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to a nitrogenous macrocyclic compound, a preparation method therefor, a pharmaceutical composition and a use thereof.


PRIOR ARTS

Tumor is one of the leading causes of worldwide human death in recent years. The overall cure rate of tumor is low while the recurrence rate is high, thus the treatment of tumor shows important value.


Abnormal epigenetic regulation is one of the important factors leading to tumorigenesis. Epigenetics refer to changes in gene expression levels caused by non-gene sequence changes, including DNA methylation, histone modification, chromosomal remodeling and non-coding RNA regulation etc., which mainly affect the gene function and feature by regulations of gene transcription and translation process. Histone is the core of chromatin and is involved in post-transcription modification, including acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination.


The bromodomain is an evolutionarily highly conserved protein consisting of 110 amino acids. It can mediate the protein interaction by recognizing the acetylated lysine residue on the histone, thus further affect the process of transcriptional regulation of genes. 61 types of bromodomains in 46 different proteins were found in the human gene genome. The bromodomain typically has deep hydrophobic pocket with small but tight binding site for its binding with acetylated lysine. Moreover, the conserved water molecules at the bottom of the pocket have a significant effect on its druggability. The binding of the bromodomain to the acetylated protein is generally weak (with a KD value in micromole to millimole level), which increases the probability of finding potent inhibitors. Evaluation of the druggability of the bromodomain family shows that the BET (bromodomain and additional C-terminal domain) subfamily scores relatively high, which has been proven by revealments of some small molecule inhibitors with different skeleton structures.


Human BET family consist of 4 members: BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDT. Each member comprises two tandem bromodomains (BD1 and BD2) for recognizing the acetylated lysine residues at the end of the histone, as well as an additional C-terminal domain. Wherein, BRD2 regulates the body's energy balance, abnormal regulation of dyslipidemia or lipogenesis, inflammation levels and autoimmne diseases; BRD3 binds to the acetylated GATA1, regulating the red blood cell targeted genes; BRD4 marks mitosis and promotes transcription; BRDT only express in the testis and is important for expression of gene that produces sperm. After binding to histone, BRD2 and BRD3 involve in promoting transcriptional elongation, BRD4 could bind to positive transcriptional elongation factor b (P-TEFb), thus induces phosphorylation of RNA polymerase and increases the transcription output. BRD4 bins to different transcription factors and regulates downstream gene expression. Its binding with acetylated RelA induces stimulation of nuclear NF-κB and activate the transcription of inflammatory gene. BRD4 associates with the N-terminal domain of retinoic acid receptor a to regulate a discrete group of gene, and its association with p53 would regulate the p21 expression. BRD4 also interacts with several chromatin modifying enzymes, including histone methylase NSD3 and hydroxylase JMJD6. BRD4 target genes (eg c-Myc, C-Fos, aurora B, cyclin D1 and cyclin D2) take part in the regulation of the cell cycle. Research data show that BRD4 is also involved in the DNA damage signaling. BRD4 takes part in the regulation of the apolipoprotein A1 gene, therefore regulate the high-density lipoprotein level, which is related to the pathology of arteriosclerosis.


The BET family is associated with a variety of diseases. Chromosomal translocation induces BRD4 (or BRD3) fuses and co-expresses with testis nuclear protein (NUT), leading to a rare cancer: NUT midline cancer (NMC). BRD4 plays an important role in many hematological malignancies, including acute myeloid lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoma and many myelomas. Besides, BRD4 also relates to a range of tumors, such as neuroblastoma, malignant glioma, lung cancer and melanoma. BRD4 is also associated with inflammation and the lifecycle of some viruses.


Therefore, the compound that inhibits the binding of bromodomain and acetylated protein indicates a trial of novel methods for treating inflammation and cancer. So far, academic and industrial research groups have found different chemical types of BET inhibitors, some of them already have entered clinical trial phase. A series of patent applications for BET inhibitors have been disclosed by now, including WO2011054553, WO2011054845, WO2013097052, WO2013185284, WO2014139324, WO2014164771, WO2015100282, WO2015075665, WO2015080707, WO2015164480, WO2015195862, WO2016050821 etc.


Wherein, the bromodomain inhibitor ABBV-075, developed by Abbive Company, has a promising prospect in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), multiple myeloma (MM) and solid tumor, and is now under phase I clinical trial. Tensha Therapeutics Company devotes to development of small molecule epigenetic protein BET inhibitor, and its first drug candidate Tensha-010 has two phase Ib studies being conducted. Besides, CPI-0610 developed by Constellation Pharmaceuticals company, GSK-525762 developed by GlaxoSmithKline and MK-8628 developed by Merck also have entered phase I/II clinical trial.

Unless otherwise indicated, the following terms and phrases used herein are intended to have the following meanings:


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt of the compound of the present invention that is prepared by reacting the compound having a specific substituent of the present invention with a relatively non-toxic acid or base. When the compound of the present invention contains a relatively acidic functional group, a base addition salt can be obtained by bringing the neutral form of the compound into contact with a sufficient amount of base in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. The pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt includes a salt of sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amine or magnesium or similar salts. When the compound of the present invention contains a relatively basic functional group, an acid addition salt can be obtained by bringing the neutral form of the compound into contact with a sufficient amount of acid in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. Examples of the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt include an inorganic acid salt, wherein the inorganic acid includes, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid, bicarbonate, phosphoric acid, monohydrogen phosphate, dihydrogen phosphate, sulfuric acid, hydrogen sulfate, hydroiodic acid, phosphorous acid, and the like; and an organic acid salt, wherein the organic acid includes, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid, suberic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, phthalic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, and methanesulfonic acid, and the like; and an salt of amino acid (such as arginine and the like), and a salt of an organic acid such as glucuronic acid and the like (refer to Berge et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts,” Journal of Pharmaceutical Science 66: 1-19 (1977)). Certain specific compounds of the present invention that contain both basic and acidic functional groups can be converted to any base or acid addition salt.


Preferably, through bringing the salt into contact with a base or an acid in a conventional manner, then separating the parent compound, the neutral form of the compound is thereby regenerated. The difference between the parent form of the compound and its various salt forms lies in specific physical properties, such as different solubility in a polar solvent.


“Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” used herein belongs to a derivative of the compound of the present invention, wherein, the parent compound is modified by forming a salt with an acid or a base. Examples of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt include but are not limited to an inorganic acid or organic acid salt of a basic moiety such as amine, an alkali metal salt or an organic salt of an acidic moiety such as carboxylic acid, and the like. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt includes conventional non-toxic salt or quaternary ammonium salt of the parent compound, such as a salt formed by a non-toxic inorganic acid or an organic acid. The conventional non-toxic salt includes but is not limited to the salt derived from an inorganic acid and an organic acid, wherein the inorganic acid or organic acid is selected from the group consisting of 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, acetic acid, ascorbic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, bicarbonate, carbonic acid, citric acid, edetic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, fumaric acid, glucoheptose, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, glycolic acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydroiodide, hydroxyl, hydroxynaphthalene, isethionic acid, lactic acid, lactose, dodecylsulfonic acid, maleic acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, nitric acid, oxalic acid, pamoic acid, pantothenic acid, phenylacetic acid, phosphoric acid, polygalactanal acid, propionic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, subacetic acid, succinic acid, sulfamic acid, sulfanilic acid, sulfuric acid, tannin, tartaric acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid.


The pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present invention can be prepared from the parent compound that contains an acidic or basic moiety by conventional chemical method. Generally, such salt can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base form of the compound with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate base or acid in water or an organic solvent or a mixture thereof. Generally, non-aqueous media such as ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol or acetonitrile are preferred.


In addition to the salt form, the compound provided by the present invention also exists in prodrug form. The prodrug of the compound described herein is the compound that readily undergoes chemical change under physiological condition to be converted into the compound of the present invention. Additionally, the prodrug can be converted to the compound of the present invention by a chemical or biochemical method in vivo environment.


Certain compounds of the present invention can exist in an unsolvated form or a solvated form, including hydrated form. Generally, the solvated form is equivalent to the unsolvated form, and both are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to any agent or carrier medium which is capable of delivering an effective amount of the active substance of the present invention, does not interfere with the biological activity of the active substance and has no toxic side effect on the host or patient. The representative carrier includes water, oil, vegetable and mineral, cream base, lotion base, ointment base and the like. The base includes a suspending agent, a thickener, a penetration enhancer and the like. Their formulations are well known to the skilled in the cosmetic field or the topical pharmaceutical field.

The term “excipient” generally refers to a carrier, a diluent and/or a medium required for formulating an effective pharmaceutical composition.


For a medicament or a pharmacologically active agent, the term “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to a nontoxic but sufficient amount to achieve a desired effect of the medicament or the agent. For the oral dosage form of the present invention, an “effective amount” of the active substance in the composition refers to an amount required for achieving a desired effect when combining with another active substance in the composition. The effective amount varies from person to person and is determined depending on the age and general condition of the recipient as well as the specific active substance. The appropriate effective amount in an individual case can be determined by the skilled in the art based on routine experiment.


Certain compounds of the present invention can have an asymmetric carbon atom (optical center) or a double bond. The racemate, diastereomer, geometric isomer and individual isomer are all encompassed within the scope of the present invention.


The compound of the present invention may have a specific geometric or stereoisomeric form. The present invention contemplates all such compounds, including cis and trans isomer, (−)- and (+)-enantiomer, (R)- and (S)-enantiomer, diastereoisomer, (D)-isomer, (L)-isomer, and racemic mixture and other mixtures, for example, an enantiomer or diastereoisomer enriched mixture, all of which are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. The substituent such as alkyl may have an additional asymmetric carbon atom. All these isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.


Graphical representation used herein for racemates, ambiscalemic and scalemic or pure enantiomer compounds are from Maehr, J. Chem. Ed. 1985, 62: 114-120. 1985, 62: 114-120. Unless otherwise stated, the absolute configuration of a stereocenter is indicated by wedge bonds and dashed bond. When the compound described herein comprises olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, unless otherwise specified, they includes the E and Z geometric isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are included within the scope of the invention.


The chemical formula of the present invention may exhibit tautomerism, structural isomerism, and stereoisomerism. The invention includes any interconversion or structural or stereoisomeric forms thereof, and mixtures thereof, the ability of which is not limited to any one or a mixture thereof.


Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomer, or D and L isomer can be prepared using chiral synthesis or chiral reagents or other conventional techniques. If one kind of enantiomer of certain compound of the present invention is to be obtained, the pure desired enantiomer can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis or derivative action of chiral auxiliary followed by separating the resulting diastereomeric mixture and cleaving the auxiliary group. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as amino) or an acidic functional group (such as carboxyl), the compound reacts with an appropriate optically active acid or base to form a salt of the diastereomeric isomer which is then subjected to diastereomeric resolution through the conventional method in the art to give the pure enantiomer. In addition, the enantiomer and the diastereoisomer are generally isolated through chromatography which uses a chiral stationary phase and optionally combines with a chemical derivative method (for example, carbamate generated from amine).


The compound of the present invention may contain an unnatural proportion of atomic isotope at one or more than one atom(s) that constitute the compound. For example, the compound can be radiolabeled with a radioactive isotope, such as tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or C-14 (14C). All isotopic variations of the compound of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.


Unless otherwise defined, the term “substituted” means one or more than one hydrogen atom(s) on a specific atom are substituted with the substituent, including deuterium and hydrogen variants, as long as the valence of the specific atom is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is a ketone (i.e. ═O), it means two hydrogen atoms are substituted. Positions on an aromatic ring can not be substituted with a ketone. The term “optionally substituted” means an atom can be substituted with a substituent or not, unless otherwise specified, the type and number of the substituent may be arbitrary as long as being chemically achievable.


When any variable (such as R) occurs in the constitution or structure of the compound more than once, the definition of the variable at each occurrence is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 0-2 R, the group can be optionally substituted with up to two R, wherein the definition of R at each occurrence is independent. Moreover, a combination of the substituent and/or the variant thereof is allowed only when the combination results in a stable compound.


When one of the variable is selected from a single bond, it means that the two groups linked by the single bond are connected directly. For example, when L in A-L-Z represents a single bond, the structure of A-L-Z is actually A-Z.


In the present invention, when the type and range of the substituent is defined in form similar to “R1-R2-R3-”, it means that the substituent as represented by “R1-R2-R3-” is entirely bonded to the compound by R3, and the R1, R2, R3 is bonded sequentially to each other by chemical bonds; besides, “R1-R2-R3-” also may be desfied by text description, as in the present invention, “R1-R2-R3-” and “R2-R3-substituted by R1” have the same meaning.


Unless otherwise specified, when a group or a bond of a substituent may be cross-linked to two atoms on a ring, such group or substituent may be bonded to any atom on the ring. When the recited group or substituent does not indicate which atom is attached to the compound included but not specified in the chemical structural formula, such group or substituent may be bonded through any of its atoms. Combinations of groups or substituents and/or variants thereof are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

Effect Embodiment 1: Determinations of the Enzyme Activity Levels of the BRD4 (BD1, BD2) of BET Protein Inhibitor

Determinations of the enzyme activity levels of the BRD4 (BD1, BD2) of the compounds in the above embodiments, detailed operations are as followed:


Experimental Methods:


The binding activity of each compound in the above embodiments to the bromodomain of BRD4 protein was tested by HTRF detection technique, by testing the IC50 values of the compound. DMSO was used to serially dilute the compounds. The Diluent Buffer in the reagent kit was used to dilute the BRD4 (BD1, BD2) protein and the Biotin labeled histone H4 peptide fragment, then the reaction solution was prepared. The Detection Buffer in the reagent kit was used to dilute the Anti-GST-TB2+Cryptate and SA-XL-665, and the detection solution was prepared. A 384 well plate was used and according to the plate arrangement, the plate was divided into test compound wells, control wells min (intense concentration positive drug), control wells max (DMSO), and control wells containing positive drugs. Then each of the wells were added into corresponding concentration compounds or 20 nL DMSO solution. 10 μL reaction solution were further added into each of the wells, then followed by 10 μL detection solution. After 2 h incubation at r.t., the Envision detector is used in the TR-Fret mode (λex=340 nm, λem1=615 nm, λem2=665 nm) to read the fluorence values and HTRF signal values.


Numerical treatment: inhibition rate=(Max−Signal)/(Max−Min)*100%. Max: the HTRF signal values of Biotin labeled histone H4 peptide fragement binded completely with the protein. Min: the HTRF background value of the Biotin labeled histone H4 peptide that completely non-binding to the protein after adding intensed concentration positive drug. Signal: the HTRF signal value of the corresponding concentration compound. The IC50 of the corresponding compound is obtained by fitting the 4-parameters curve with the concentrations of the compounds and its inhibition rates.


Table 1 shows the experimental results of BRD4 biological activity of the compounds.

The preparation and any revision of this experimental protocol are carried out in accordance with the evaluation criteria of the “Institute for Animal Care and Use (IACUC)” of Shanghai Chempartner Chemical Research Co., Ltd. The use and welfare of laboratory animals are carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC). Animals are monitored daily for health and death. Routine examinations include observations of the effects of the test substance and the drug on the daily behavior of the animal such as behavioral activities, intake of water and feeds, weight change (three weights measured weekly), appearance signs or other anormal circumstance. The number of animal deaths and side effects in the group were recorded based on the number of animals in each group.


7.3.5. Experimental Indicator


The experimental indicator is to investigate whether tumor growth can be inhibited, delayed or cured. Tumor diameters were measured with vernier calipers three times a week. The formula for calculating tumor volume is: V=0.5×a×b2, a and b represent the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. The antitumor effect of the compound was evaluated by T/C (%). T/C %=TRTV/CRTV×100% (TRTV: treatment group RTV; CRTV: negative comparative group RTV). The relative tumor volume RTV is calculated as RTV=Vt/V1. Where V1 is the measured tumor volume at the time of group administration (i.e., Day 1), and Vt is the tumor volume at each measurement. The percentage value of T/C (%) reflects the tumor growth inhibition rate, which the drug is considered to be effective according to the guidelines of the anti-tumor drugs of the drug testing center, if T/C %≤40%. Tumor volume was evaluated by TGI %, tumor weight inhibition rate (TGI) (1-(TVTreatment/Dx−TVTreatment/D1)/(TVControl/Dx-TVControl/D1))×100%, TVControl: control tumor volume, TVTreatment: tumor volume in the treatment group. According to the guidelines of the drug trial center for anti-tumor drugs, TGI≥58%, the drug is considered effective.


7.3.6. Sample Collection


15 days after administration, 4009 10 mg/kg group number 4-6 mouse was euthanized 3 hours after admnistraion, collect tumor and plasma samples of each mouse from the administrated group; plasma and tumors were placed on dry ice, for detection of the drug content in tumors and plasma. The other experiment mice were euthanized on the 15th day 24 hours after administration.


7.3.7. Statistical Analysis


The tumor volume and tumor size were analysed by statistical software. GraphPad Prism software was used for analyzation, p<0.05 is considered to have significant difference, p<0.01 is considered to have extremely significant difference.


Two-way Anova Bonferroni post-test is used to compare the tumor volume difference between the control group and the treatment group.

7.5. Conclusion and Discussion of the Experimental Results


In the present experiment, we evaluated the in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of test compound 4009 in a MV-4-11 acute myeloid leukemia cell xenograft tumor model.


The changes in body weight of mice in each group after administration are shown in FIG. 4. During the entire administration period, the mice in the 4009 dose groups did not decrease in body weight and were in good condition, and the mice were tolerant to the dose of the test compound.


The tumor volume changes of the animals in each group after administration are shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. Tumor volume TGI (%) values, T/C (%) and statistical evaluation analysis, see Table 7-3 and Table 7-4 and Table 7-5.


On the 15th day after administration, the tumor volumes of the blank control group, ABBV-075 3 mg/kg, GSK762 15 mg/kg, and 4009 10 mg/kg were respectively 1036.78 mm3, 346.72 mm3, 617.02 mm3, and 305.80 mm3.


During the experimental administration, the tumor volume TGI (%) analysis, ABBV-075 3 mg/kg and 4009 10 mg/kg group from the 4th day of administration to the 15th day of administration, TGI (%) were greater than 58%, GSK762 15 mg/kg from 4th of administration to 8th after administration TGI (%) was greater than 58%, and TGI (%) was less than 58% from 11th to 15th of administration.
