Abstract

Description
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and more particularly to phenyl triazole compounds that inhibit MLL1-WDR5 protein-protein interactions, and preparation and medical uses thereof.


BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Translocation and re-arrangement of the methyl transferase MLL1 gene for histone H3K4 can lead to mixed lineage leukemia (MLL1, acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoid leukemia). MLL1 gene rearrangement is found in about 10% of leukemia patients. Upon re-arrangement, MLL1 gene fuses with other chaperone genes to form fusion genes, and the carcinogenic MLL fusion protein is expressed. The fusion protein can interact with RNA polymerase II (Pol II) related elongation factors to form the super elongation complex (SEC). The complex can lead to abnormal expression of the Hox gene regulated by MLL1 through Pol II, which causes a series of serious consequences to induce MLL1 leukemia onset.


Chromosomal translocation of MLL1 gene is monoallelic and there is a wildtype MLL1. When the wildtype MLL1 allele is knocked out, the MLL1 fusion protein alone will not lead to leukemia, and the enzymatic activity of the wildtype MLL1 is necessary for the MLL1 fusion protein to induce leukemia. Thus, specific inhibition of the enzymatic activity of the wildtype MLL1 can achieve the effect of treating leukemia.


Catalytic activity on H3K4 methylation by MLL1 alone is very weak and can only result in monomethylation; the enzyme catalytic activity improves greatly upon the formation of the MLL1 core catalytic complex, especially the catalytic activity on H3K4me2. The MLL-C-terminal WIN motif moiety is capable of binding WDR5, RbBP5, Ash2L and DPY30 to form complexes. MLL1 interacts with WDR5 directly through the C-terminal WIN motif moiety, to mediate the interaction between the catalytic domain of MLLISET and other protein complexes. When WDR5 is knocked out, the level of H3K4me2/3 decreases and the Hox gene expression is downregulated.


Thus, use of small molecule inhibitors to interfere with the protein-protein interaction of MLL1-WDR5 is an effective method to inhibit MLL1 enzymatic activity and downregulate Hox and Meis-1 gene expression to block the progression of leukemia. MLL1-WDR5 protein-protein interaction inhibitors have been described in WO2019205687A1, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. A need exists for additional MLL1-WDR5 protein-protein interaction inhibitors having additional and/or improved properties.

In some embodiments, the compound is a compound selected from Table 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, polymorph or prodrug thereof. In some embodiments, the compound is a compound selected from Table 2, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, polymorph or prodrug thereof. In some embodiments, the compound is a compound selected from Table 3, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, polymorph or prodrug thereof. In some embodiments, the compound is a compound selected from Table 4, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, polymorph or prodrug thereof.


Further Forms of Compounds

In some embodiments, a compound disclosed herein possesses one or more stereocenters and each stereocenter exists independently in either the R or S configuration. The compounds presented herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. The compounds and methods provided herein include all cis, trans, syn, anti, entgegen (E), and zusammen (Z) isomers as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared as their individual stereoisomers by reacting a racemic mixture of the compound with an optically active resolving agent to form a pair of diastereoisomeric compounds/salts, separating the diastereomers and recovering the optically pure enantiomers. In some embodiments, resolution of enantiomers is carried out using covalent diastereomeric derivatives of the compounds described herein. In some embodiments, diastereomers are separated by separation/resolution techniques based upon differences in solubility. In some embodiments, separation of stereoisomers is performed by chromatography or by the forming of diastereomeric salts and separation is carried out by recrystallization, or chromatography, or any combination thereof. Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H. Wilen, “Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions”, John Wiley And Sons, Inc., 1981. In some embodiments, stereoisomers are obtained by stereoselective synthesis.


In some embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared as prodrugs. A “prodrug” refers to an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the effective water solubility. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug is a compound described herein, which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”) to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is detrimental to mobility but which then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity, once inside the cell where water-solubility is beneficial. A further example of a prodrug might be a short peptide (polyaminoacid) bonded to an acid group where the peptide is metabolized to reveal the active moiety. In some embodiments, upon in vivo administration, a prodrug is chemically converted to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the compound. In some embodiments, a prodrug is enzymatically metabolized by one or more steps or processes to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the compound.


In some embodiments, prodrugs are designed to alter the metabolic stability or the transport characteristics of a drug, to mask side effects or toxicity, to improve the flavor of a drug or to alter other characteristics or properties of a drug. By virtue of knowledge of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic processes and drug metabolism in vivo, once a pharmaceutically active compound is known, the design of prodrugs of the compound is possible. (see, for example, Nogrady (1985) Medicinal Chemistry A Biochemical Approach, Oxford University Press, New York, pages 388-392; Silverman (1992), The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, pages 352-401, Rooseboom et al., Pharmacological Reviews, 56:53-102, 2004; Aesop Cho, “Recent Advances in Oral Prodrug Discovery”, Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 41, 395-407, 2006; T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series).


In some embodiments, some of the herein-described compounds may be a prodrug for another derivative or active compound.


In some embodiments, sites on the aromatic ring portion of compounds described herein are susceptible to various metabolic reactions. Therefore incorporation of appropriate substituents on the aromatic ring structures will reduce, minimize or eliminate this metabolic pathway. In specific embodiments, the appropriate substituent to decrease or eliminate the susceptibility of the aromatic ring to metabolic reactions is, by way of example only, a halogen, or an alkyl group.


In another embodiment, the compounds described herein are labeled isotopically (e.g., with a radioisotope) or by another other means, including, but not limited to, the use of chromophores or fluorescent moieties, bioluminescent labels, or chemiluminescent labels.


Compounds described herein include isotopically-labeled compounds, which are identical to those recited in the various formulae and structures presented herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the present compounds include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine such as, for example, 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, and 125I. In some embodiments, isotopically-labeled compounds described herein, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H and 14C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. In some embodiments, substitution with isotopes such as deuterium affords certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, such as, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements.


In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are metabolized upon administration to an organism in need to produce a metabolite that is then used to produce a desired effect, including a desired therapeutic effect.


“Pharmaceutically acceptable” as used herein, refers to a material, such as a carrier or diluent, which does not abrogate the biological activity or properties of the compound, and is relatively nontoxic, i.e., the material may be administered to an individual without causing undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the components of the composition in which it is contained.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a formulation of a compound that does not cause significant irritation to an organism to which it is administered and does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the compound. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are obtained by reacting a compound disclosed herein with acids. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are also obtained by reacting a compound disclosed herein with a base to form a salt.


Compounds described herein may be formed as, and/or used as, pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The type of pharmaceutical acceptable salts, include, but are not limited to: (1) acid addition salts, formed by reacting the free base form of the compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable: inorganic acid, such as, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, and the like; or with an organic acid, such as, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, hexanoic acid, cyclopentanepropionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, 3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 1,2-ethanedisulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 4-methylbicyclo-[2.2.2]oct-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid, glucoheptonic acid, 4,4′-methylenebis-(3-hydroxy-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid), 3-phenylpropionic acid, trimethylacetic acid, tertiary butylacetic acid, lauryl sulfuric acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, hydroxynaphthoic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, muconic acid, butyric acid, phenylacetic acid, phenylbutyric acid, valproic acid, and the like; (2) salts formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound is replaced by a metal ion, e.g., an alkali metal ion (e.g., lithium, sodium, potassium), an alkaline earth ion (e.g., magnesium, or calcium), or an aluminum ion. In some embodiments, compounds described herein may coordinate with an organic base, such as, but not limited to, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, N-methylglucamine, dicyclohexylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine. In some embodiments, compounds described herein may form salts with amino acids such as, but not limited to, arginine, lysine, and the like. Acceptable inorganic bases used to form salts with compounds that include an acidic proton, include, but are not limited to, aluminum hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and the like.


It should be understood that a reference to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt includes the solvent addition forms, particularly solvates. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and may be formed during the process of crystallization with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Solvates of compounds described herein can be conveniently prepared or formed during the processes described herein. In addition, the compounds provided herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the compounds and methods provided herein.

Therapeutically effective amounts are optionally determined by methods including, but not limited to, a dose escalation clinical trial.


In prophylactic applications, compositions containing the compounds disclosed herein are administered to a patient susceptible to or otherwise at risk of a particular disease, disorder or condition.


In some embodiments, the dose of drug being administered may be temporarily reduced or temporarily suspended for a certain length of time (i.e., a “drug holiday”).


Doses employed for adult human treatment are typically in the range of 0.01 mg-5000 mg per day or from about 0.01 mg to about 1000 mg per day. In one embodiment, the desired dose is conveniently presented in a single dose or in divided doses.


Methods of Treatment

Provided herein are methods for the treatment of diseases mediated by MLL1 through inhibiting MLL1-WDR5 protein-protein interaction, wherein the diseases, such as for example MLL gene fusion type leukemia can be treated through inhibition of the enzymatic activity of MLL1. In some embodiments, described herein is a method of treating a disease or condition including administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a compound disclosed herein.


In some embodiments, the disease or condition being treated is a cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a blood cancer.


Leukemia

Leukemia is characterized by an abnormal increase of white blood cells in the blood or bone marrow. Among all types of cancers, the morbidity of leukemia is the highest for patients below 35 years old. Over 70% of infant leukemia patients bear a translocation involving chromosome 11, resulting in the fusion of the MLL1 gene with other genes (Nat. Rev. Cancer., 2007, 7(11):823-833). MLL1 translocations are also found in approximately 10% of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who were previously treated with topoisomerase II inhibitors for other types of cancers.


MLL1 enzymatic activity is determined by MLL1 and WDR5 protein-protein interaction; MLL1 enzymatic activity affects the methylation level of H3K4. The H3K4 methylation level increases abnormally in MLL fusion type leukemia, and the downstream Hox and Meis-1 gene expression levels are up-regulated abnormally. When MLL1-WDR5 protein-protein interaction is inhibited, MLL1 catalytic activity decreases, H3K4 methylation level decreases, Hox and Meis-1 gene expression levels are downregulated, inhibiting leukemia cell proliferation.


In some embodiments, the cancer is leukemia. In some embodiments, the leukemia is acute leukemia. In some embodiments, the acute leukemia is acute leukemia with MLL1 gene rearrangement.


Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

The CEBPA gene is mutated in 9% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Selective expression of a short (30-kDa) CCAAT-enhancer binding protein-a (C/EBPa) translational isoform, termed p30, represents the most common type of CEBPA mutation in AML. The molecular mechanisms underlying p30-mediated transformation remain incompletely understood. Studies have shown that C/EBPa p30, but not the normal p42 isoform, preferentially interacts with WDR5, a key component of SET/MLL (SET-domain/mixed-lineage leukemia) histone-methyltransferase complexes. Accordingly, p30-bound genomic regions are enriched for MLL-dependent H3K4me3 marks. The p30-dependent increase in self-renewal and inhibition of myeloid differentiation required WDR5, as downregulation of the latter inhibited proliferation and restored differentiation in p30-dependent AML models. Small-molecule inhibitors of WDR5-MLL binding selectively inhibited proliferation and induced differentiation in p30-expressing human AML cells revealing the mechanism of p30-dependent transformation and establish the p30 cofactor WDR5 as a therapeutic target in CEBPA-mutant AML (Nat Chem Biol. 2015; 11(8):571-8).


In some embodiments, the leukemia is AML leukemia.


MYCN-Amplified Neuroblastoma

MYCN gene amplification in neuroblastoma drives a gene expression program that correlates strongly with aggressive disease. Mechanistically, trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) at target gene promoters is a prerequisite for the transcriptional program to be enacted. WDR5 is a histone H3K4 presenter that has been found to have an essential role in H3K4 trimethylation. The relationship between WDR5-mediated H3K4 trimethylation and N-Myc transcriptional programs in neuroblastoma cells was investigated. N-Myc upregulated WDR5 expression in neuroblastoma cells. Gene expression analysis revealed that WDR5 target genes included those with MYC-binding elements at promoters such as MDM2. WDR5 has been shown to form a protein complex at the MDM2 promoter with N-Myc, but not p53, leading to histone H3K4 trimethylation and activation of MDM2 transcription (Cancer Res 2015; 75(23); 5143-54). RNAi-mediated attenuation of WDR5 upregulated expression of wild-type but not mutant p53, an effect associated with growth inhibition and apoptosis. Similarly, a small-molecule antagonist of WDR5 reduced N-Myc/WDR5 complex formation, N— Myc target gene expression, and cell growth in neuroblastoma cells. In MYCN-transgenic mice, WDR5 was overexpressed in precancerous ganglion and neuroblastoma cells compared with normal ganglion cells. Clinically, elevated levels of WDR5 in neuroblastoma specimens have an independent predictor of poor overall survival. WDR5 has been identified as a relevant cofactor for N-Myc-regulated transcriptional activation and tumorogenesis and as a novel therapeutic target for MYCN-amplified neuroblastomas (Cancer Res 2015; 75(23); 5143-54, Mol Cell. 2015; 58(3):440-52).


In some embodiments, the cancer is a solid tumor. In some embodiments, the cancer is a neuroblastoma.

The terms “co-administration” or the like, as used herein, are meant to encompass administration of the selected therapeutic agents to a single patient, and are intended to include treatment regimens in which the agents are administered by the same or different route of administration or at the same or different time.


The terms “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refer to a sufficient amount of an agent or a compound being administered which will relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disease or condition being treated. The result can be reduction and/or alleviation of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. For example, an “effective amount” for therapeutic uses is the amount of the composition comprising a compound as disclosed herein required to provide a clinically significant decrease in disease symptoms. An appropriate “effective” amount in any individual case may be determined using techniques, such as a dose escalation study. An “effective amount” is an amount sufficient for a compound to accomplish a stated purpose relative to the absence of the compound (e.g., achieve the effect for which it is administered, treat a disease, reduce enzyme activity, increase enzyme activity, reduce a signaling pathway, or reduce one or more symptoms of a disease or condition). An example of an “effective amount” is an amount sufficient to contribute to the treatment, prevention, or reduction of a symptom or symptoms of a disease, which could also be referred to as a “therapeutically effective amount.” A “reduction” of a symptom or symptoms (and grammatical equivalents of this phrase) means decreasing of the severity or frequency of the symptom(s), or elimination of the symptom(s). A “prophylactically effective amount” of a drug is an amount of a drug that, when administered to a subject, will have the intended prophylactic effect, e.g., preventing or delaying the onset (or reoccurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology or condition, or reducing the likelihood of the onset (or reoccurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology, or condition, or their symptoms. The full prophylactic effect does not necessarily occur by administration of one dose, and may occur only after administration of a series of doses. Thus, a prophylactically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations. An “activity decreasing amount,” as used herein, refers to an amount of antagonist required to decrease the activity of an enzyme relative to the absence of the antagonist. A “function disrupting amount,” as used herein, refers to the amount of antagonist required to disrupt the function of an enzyme or protein relative to the absence of the antagonist. The exact amounts will depend on the purpose of the treatment, and will be ascertainable by one skilled in the art using known techniques (see, e.g., Lieberman, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (vols. 1-3, 1992); Lloyd, The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding (1999); Pickar, Dosage Calculations (1999); and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition, 2003, Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins).


The term “pharmaceutical combination” as used herein, means a product that results from the mixing or combining of more than one active ingredient and includes both fixed and non-fixed combinations of the active ingredients. The term “fixed combination” means that the active ingredients, e.g., a compound of Formula (I) and a co-agent, are both administered to a patient simultaneously in the form of a single entity or dosage. The term “non-fixed combination” means that the active ingredients, e.g., a compound of Formula (I) and a co-agent, are administered to a patient as separate entities either simultaneously, concurrently or sequentially with no specific intervening time limits, wherein such administration provides effective levels of the two compounds in the body of the patient. The latter also applies to cocktail therapy, e.g., the administration of three or more active ingredients.


The term “subject” or “patient” encompasses mammals. Examples of mammals include, but are not limited to, humans. In one embodiment, the mammal is a human.


The terms “treat,” “treating” or “treatment,” as used herein, include alleviating, abating or ameliorating at least one symptom of a disease or condition, preventing additional symptoms, inhibiting the disease or condition, e.g., arresting the development of the disease or condition, relieving the disease or condition, causing regression of the disease or condition, relieving a condition caused by the disease or condition, or stopping the symptoms of the disease or condition either prophylactically and/or therapeutically.
