The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry and particularly relates to a phosphonic acid compound and a prodrug thereof, and a preparation method therefor and use thereof as an ENPP1 inhibitor.
As the first line of the body to defend against pathogens, the human immune system plays an undeniable role in combating tumor cells. STING (Stimulator of Interferon Gene) is an interferon gene stimulator composed of 378 amino acids, which plays an important role in the immune response to tumor cells. STING can be activated by binding to cGAMP (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase), which in turn recruits TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), leading to phosphorylation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). The phosphorylated IRF3 will produce type I interferon (IFN) and other cytokines, which together with IFN trigger the immune response of human adaptive immune system to tumor cells and infectious diseases.
Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodi-esterase 1 (ENPP1) is one of the seven enzymes in the ENPP family and a type II transmembrane glycoprotein. Research has shown that ENPP1 has high hydrolysis ability and can decompose various ligands, including phosphodiester bonds and pyrophosphate bonds. ATP is also one of the main targets of ENPP1. ENPP1 not only hydrolyzes ATP into AMP and PPi, but also hydrolyzes cGAMP, inhibiting the amount of cGAMP in the human body and reducing STING activity. Therefore, the activity of ENPP1 inhibits anti-tumor and anti-infectious diseases immune response of the human immune system through STING, and inhibiting the activity of ENPP1 contributes to the synthesis of cGAMP and the increase of STING activity, thus improving the resistance of the human immune system to tumors and infectious diseases. In addition, ENPP1 has been confirmed to have a more prominent expression than usual in human breast tumors, which not only indicates that ENPP1 is a potential predictive marker of breast cancer, but also highlights the possibility and reliability of ENPP1 as an anticancer drug target.
In addition to the prominent expression of ENPP1 in tumors, studies have shown that the expression of ENPP1 is related to a variety of infectious diseases caused by bacteria or viruses. Therefore, ENPP1 can also be used for the treatment of infectious diseases.
Although cancer patients have multiple treatment options, there is still a need for effective and safe therapeutic agents and optimal application in combination therapy thereof.
The present disclosure provides a compound of formula (I) or formula (I-A), a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a pharmaceutical composition thereof and a combination thereof. The inventor unexpectedly discovered that the phosphonic acid compound of formula (I) is a good ENPP1 inhibitor. The inventor also unexpectedly found that the compound of the present disclosure, especially a phosphonate compound, has good physical and chemical stability, good bioavailability. A phosphonic acid parent drug compound disclosed herein is a good ENPP1 inhibitor, and has good activity and high selectivity. However, it is relatively polar and not suitable for oral administration. A phosphonate or amide prodrug compound disclosed herein can be rapidly metabolized in vivo to produce the parent drug compound. Therefore, the phosphonate or amide prodrug compound or a pharmaceutical salt thereof disclosed herein is used as an effective ingredient in a wide variety of formulations such as an oral formulation and rapidly produce an active ingredient as a parent drug compound after absorbed in vivo. Therefore, the phosphonate or amide prodrug compound or the pharmaceutical salt thereof disclosed herein is useful as a prodrug of an active ingredient compound. By preparing the phosphonic acid active ingredient compound into the phosphonate or amide prodrug compound, the physicochemical properties of the parent drug are improved, the fat solubility, the oral availability and the bioavailability of the drug are improved, the side effect is reduced, and the safety is higher.

In the present disclosure, unless otherwise explicitly stated, the terms used in the present disclosure have the meanings defined below. Terms not explicitly defined in the present disclosure have general meanings that are generally understood by those skilled in the art.
The term “a”, “an”, “the” and similar terms used in the context of the present disclosure (especially in the context of the claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and plural unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by the context.
A dash (“-”) that is not between two letters or symbols is used to indicate a connecting site for a substituent. For example, —O(C1-C3 alkyl) indicates that the group is connected to the rest of the molecule through an oxygen atom. However, when the connecting site of the substituent is obvious to those skilled in the art, for example, for substituents such as halogen and hydroxyl, the “-” can be omitted. When a group has a wavy line “”, the wavy line represents the connection position between the group and the rest of the molecule.
As used herein, “” represents single or double bonds. Those skilled in the art can determine
whether to represent a single bond or a double bond based on the valence of the relevant ring atoms and the connected groups, which falls within the scope of their abilities. Those skilled in the art can understand that the relevant rings can be saturated, partially saturated or aromatic.
As used herein, “heteroatoms” refer to nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or sulfur (S) atoms, particularly nitrogen or oxygen atoms, each of which can be substituted or unsubstituted, including their oxidized forms. Examples of heteroatoms include but are not limited to —O—, —N═, —NR—, —S—, —S(O)— and —S(O)2—, wherein R is hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl or nitrogen protective groups (for example, benzyloxycarbonyl, p-methoxybenzylcarbonyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl, acetyl, benzoyl, benzyl, p-methoxy-benzyl, p-methoxy-benzyl, 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl, etc.). Any heteroatom with an unsatisfied valence bond is considered to have a hydrogen atom sufficient to satisfy the valence bond, unless otherwise indicated.
As used herein, “halogen” or “halogenated” refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. The preferred halogen as a substituent is fluorine and chlorine.
As used herein, “alkyl” refers to a monovalent hydrocarbon group of completely saturated straight or branched chains. Alkyl preferably contains 1-10 carbon atoms, more preferably 1-8 carbon atoms, 1-6 carbon atoms, 1-4 carbon atoms or 1-3 carbon atoms. The number before alkyl represents the number of carbon atoms. For example, “C1-C6 alkyl” represents an alkyl with 1-6 carbon atoms, “C1-C4 alkyl” represents an alkyl with 1-4 carbon atoms, and “C1-C3 alkyl” represents an alkyl with 1-3 carbon atoms. Representative examples of alkyl include but are not limited to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl, 3-methylhexyl, 2,2-dimethylpentyl, 2,3-dimethylpentyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, n-nonyl, n-decyl, etc. Whether the term “alkyl” appears alone or as part of other functional groups such as haloalkyl, alkoxy, etc., this definition applies.
As used herein, “alkoxy” refers to an alkyl, i.e. an alkyl-0 group, connected by an oxygen bridge as defined herein. The number before alkoxy represents the number of carbon atoms.

The term “optionally” used herein refers to the events described subsequently that may or may not occur, and this description includes both the situations in which the event occurred and the situations in which it did not occur. For example, “optionally substituted alkyl” includes “unsubstituted alkyl” and “substituted alkyl” as defined herein. “Optionally substituted by halogens” includes situations where “substituted by halogens” and situations where “not substituted by halogens”, such as being substituted by 0-3 halogens. Those skilled in the art should understand that for any functional group containing one or more substituents, the group does not include any spatially impractical, chemically incorrect, synthetic infeasible, and/or inherently unstable substitution patterns.
When any variable appears more than once in any composition or formula of a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at each other occurrence. Therefore, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted by 0-3 Rs, the group can be either unsubstituted or substituted by up to three Rs, and R is independently selected from the definition of R each time it appears. For example, when applied to one or more substitutions in the definition of ring A, that is, when ring A is C6-C10 aryl or 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl, these groups are unsubstituted or substituted by one or more, for example, two substituent groups independently selected from the given definition each time they appear. This applies similarly to the definition of other similar situations.
When the valence bond of a substituent shows a valence bond connecting two atoms through the ring, the substituent can bond with any atom on the ring. When a substituent is listed without specifying the substituent connected to the rest of the compound of the formula, the substituent can be bonded through any atom in the substituent.
The combination of substituents and/or variables is allowed as long as such combination produces stable compounds.
When using dashed rings in a ring structure, it indicates that the ring structure can be saturated, partially saturated or unsaturated.
The term “substituted” used herein refers to one or more hydrogen atoms on a given atom or group being replaced by one or more substituents selected from a given substituent group, provided that they do not exceed the normal valence of the given atom. When the substituent is an oxo (i.e. ═O), the two hydrogen atoms on a single atom are replaced by oxygen. There are no oxygen substituents present on the aromatic portion. When a ring system (such as a carbon ring or heterocycle) is replaced by a carbonyl group or double bond, it is intended that the carbonyl group or double bond is part of the ring (i.e., within the ring).
Only when the combination of substituents and/or variables leads to chemically correct and stable compounds, such combinations are allowed. A chemically correct and stable compound means that it is sufficiently stable to be separated from the reaction mixture and its chemical structure can be determined, and subsequently formulated into a preparation with at least practical utility. For example, in the absence of a clear list of substituents, the terms “substituted” used herein refer to one or more hydrogen atoms on a given atom or group being independently replaced by one or more substituents, such as 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents. When an atom or group is replaced by multiple substituents, the substituents can be the same or different.
Unless otherwise specified, the terms “the compound of the present disclosure” refer to a compound comprising one or more of the formula (I) or its subforms defined herein, such as formulas (II) and (III), or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and all isomers such as stereoisomers (including diastereoisomers, enantiomers and racemes), geometric isomers, conformational isomers (including rotamers and atropisomers), tautomers, internal addition products of isomers, prodrugs, and isomer labeled compounds (including deuterium substitution) and naturally formed parts (such as polymorphic forms, solvates, and/or hydrates). When there is a part that can form salt, it also includes salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The presence of internal addition products of tautomers or isomers can be identified by those skilled in the art using tools such as NMR. The compound of formula (I) of the present disclosure can easily form internal addition products of tautomers and isomers as described herein.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that the compound of the present disclosure may contain chiral centers, allowing for the existence of different isomeric forms. Therefore, the compound of the present invention can be present in the form as individual stereoisomers (e.g. enantiomers and diastereomers) and a mixture thereof in any proportion, for example, a racemate, and where appropriate, in the form as tautomers and geometric isomers thereof. As used herein, “stereoisomers” refer to different compounds with the same molecular formula but different atomic arrangements and configurations.
The stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers and conformers. As used herein, the “enantiomers” are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

The racemate mixture can be used as such or resolved into individual isomers. The resolution may result in a stereochemically pure compound or in a mixture enriched in one or more isomers.
As used herein, the “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to structural isomers of different energies that are interconvertible via a low-energy barrier. For example, proton tautomers (also known as proton transfer tautomers) include interconversion by proton migration, such as keto-enol and imine-enamine isomerizations. Valence tautomers include interconversions through recombination of some bonding electrons.
As used herein, the “geometric isomers” are isomers resulting from the inability of a free rotation of a double bond or a single bond of a cyclic carbon atom and also known as cis-trans isomers. Cis-isomers are substituent groups on the same side of the plane and trans-isomers are substituent groups on the opposite side of the plane. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituent may be in the E or Z conformation.
Some of the compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers or axes, thus producing enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomers that can be defined as (R)- or (S)- in absolute stereochemistry.
The “conformational isomers” are isomers that differs by the rotation of one or more valence bonds. “Rotamers” are conformational isomers that differs by the rotation of only a single valence bond. “Atropisomers” refers to a structural isomer based on axial or planar chirality generated by rotational confinement within a molecule.

Typically, isotopic labeled compounds of the present disclosure can be prepared by using readily available isotope labeled reagents instead of non-isotope labeled reagents, as described in the following processes or examples and preparation examples.
Moreover, being replaced by heavier isotopes, particularly deuterium (i.e. 2H or D), can also yield certain therapeutic benefits due to greater metabolic stability, such as prolonging in vivo half-life, reducing dose requirements, or improving treatment indices. It can be understood that deuterium in the context can be regarded as a substituent of the compound of the present disclosure. The concentration of these heavier isotopes, particularly deuterium, can be defined by isotopic enrichment factors. “Isotope enrichment factor” represents the ratio between the isotopic abundance of a specified isotope and its natural abundance.

It can be seen from Table 1 that the activity of the phosphonic acid compound of the present disclosure in inhibiting an ENPP1 kinase was equivalent to that of a positive compound STF32 and significantly better than that of a compound STF22 from the literature (STF22 was derived from Cell Chemical Biology 2020 (27), 1347-1358), especially a naphthyridine phosphonic acid compound. It was reported by the literature that in-vivo metabolism of STF32 in mice was unstable, the half-life of injection administration was relatively short and T1/2=14 min. The in-vivo metabolic stability of the phosphonic acid compound of the present disclosure was remarkably improved and the T1/2 was 3-5 h. Besides, the prodrug had relatively high oral bioavailability and thus can overcome the defect that the phosphonic acid compound cannot be taken orally.
1. In each administration mode, 9 healthy ICR mice male, weighing 30-35 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups (M1, M2, M3) with 3 mice in each group. The tested compound was administered by gavage (50 mg/kg) and intravenous injection (1 mg/kg), respectively:
2. Blood collection time and sample processing Intragastric administration: 0.25 h, 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 2.0 h, 3.0 h, 4.0 h, 6.0 h, 8.0 h and 24 h after administration.
Intravenous administration: 5 min, 0.25 h, 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 2.0 h, 4.0 h, 6.0 h, 8.0 h and 24 h after administration.
Blood was collected continuously, with 3 animals collected at each time point. Plasma collection and processing: at the above set time points, 30-40 μL of venous blood was collected from the posterior venous plexus of the mouse eyeball, placed in EDTA-K2 test tube, centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 min, plasma was separated, and frozen at −20° C. in a refrigerator.
3. Sample testing and data analysis
LC/MS/MS method was used to determine the concentration of compounds in mice plasma. The pharmacokinetic parameters after administration were calculated using a non-compartmental model using Phoenix 8.3 software (Pharsight, USA).
4. Experimental results
In the oral administration experiment of prodrug compounds 7 and 8 in mice, the plasma concentrations of the prodrug compounds 7 and 8, and an active ingredient thereof (parent drug compound 1) were respectively detected by LC-MS/MS. The results found that the plasma concentrations of the active ingredient (parent compound 1) in the mice after 5 min were 2,941 ng/mL and 2,432 ng/mL respectively, indicating that the prodrug compounds 7 and 8 were converted to the parent drug compound 1 in the mice plasma at a faster rate (within 5 min) after the oral administration of the prodrug compounds 7 and 8.
Specifically, the pharmacokinetics of the active ingredient 1 detected in the plasma of the mice after the oral administration of the prodrug compounds 7 and 8 (50 mg/kg) in the mice respectively were shown in
*After the oral administration of the compounds in example 7 and example 8, the active ingredient compound 1 converted by the compounds 7 and 8 in plasma was detected.
It can be seen from Table 2, after the phosphonate or amide prodrug compound of the present disclosure, such as those in example 7 and example 8, was orally taken by the mice for 5 min, only the active ingredient compound 1 thereof was detected in the plasma. Compared with the prodrug compounds 7 and 8, the parent drug compound 1 of the present disclosure showed a significant improvement in AUC0_t. Thus, it is demonstrated that the phosphonate or amide prodrug of the present disclosure can be used for oral absorption. Since the phosphonic acid parent drug compound containing a free phosphate group had too large polarity, it had poor lipid solubility and low oral bioavailability and was not conductive for absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and the oral administration. The problem can be overcome after the phosphate group was converted into a phosphonic diester or amide derivative. For example, the ester obtained by esterifying the compound 1, such as the compounds 7 and 8, had enhanced lipid solubility and was hydrolyzed into the compound 1 in vivo to play a pharmacological action, and the oral bioavailability can reach 10%-17%. Compared with the compound 1, the phosphonate form improved the lipid solubility, the oral taking property and the bioavailability of the drug, reduced the side effect and had higher safety.
1. Six SD rats of 6-8 weeks old, male, were taken in each administration mode, and the tested compound was administered by gavage (5 mg/kg) and intravenous injection (1 mg/kg), respectively: fasting for 12 hours before the experiment and drinking water freely.

2. Blood collection time and sample processing Intragastric administration: 0.25 h, 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 2.0 h, 3.0 h, 4.0 h, 6.0 h, 8.0 h and 24 h after administration.
Intravenous administration: 5 min, 0.25 h, 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 2.0 h, 4.0 h, 6.0 h, 8.0 h and 24 h after administration.
Plasma collection and processing: at the above set time points, 150-200 μL of blood was collected via the plexus jugularis or a suitable part, placed in EDTA-K2 test tube, centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 min, plasma was separated, and frozen at −20° C. in a refrigerator.
3. Sample testing and data analysis
LC/MS/MS method was used to determine the concentration of compounds in rats plasma. The pharmacokinetic parameters after administration were calculated using a non-compartmental model using Phoenix 8.3 software (Pharsight, USA).
4. Experimental results
In the intravenous injection and oral administration experiment of the prodrug compound 7 in the rats, the plasma concentration of the parent drug compound 1 thereof (active ingredient) was detected by LC-MS/MS. The results were shown in Table 3.
Experimental Example 4: Pharmacokinetic test experiment for dogs 1. In each administration mode, 6 beagle dogs of 0.5-1.5 old were administered by gavage (2 mg/kg) and intravenous injection (1 mg/kg), respectively: fasting for 12 hours before the experiment and drinking water freely. Feeding uniformly 4 hours after administration.
2. Blood collection time and sample processing
Intravenous and Intragastric administration: 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h after administration. Blood was collected continuously, with 3 animals collected at each time point. Plasma collection and processing: at the above set time points, 1,000 μL of blood was collected via the plexus jugularis or a suitable part, placed in EDTA-K2 test tube, centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 10 min, plasma was separated, and frozen at −20° C. in a refrigerator.
3. Sample testing and data analysis
LC/MS/MS method was used to determine the concentration of compounds in the beagle dogs plasma. The pharmacokinetic parameters after administration were calculated using a non-compartmental model using Phoenix 8.3 software (Pharsight, USA).
4. Experimental results
In the intravenous injection and oral administration experiment of the prodrug compound 7 in the beagle dogs, the plasma concentration of the parent drug compound 1 thereof (active ingredient) was detected by LC-MS/MS. The results were shown in Table 3.
The results of the pharmacological test in the SD rats and beagle dogs showed that the intravenous injection of the active compound 1 had the lower clearance and longer half-life in vivo. The orally administrated prodrug compound 7 can be rapidly metabolized to the active compound 1 in vivo and had the relatively high oral bioavailability.
In conclusion, although the phosphonate or amide prodrug compound disclosed by the disclosure did not have the biological activity, it can be changed into an active phosphonic acid compound through in-vivo metabolism after IV or PO administration. The phosphonic acid parent drug compound had the strong inhibitory activity of ENPP1, but was not beneficial to oral administration due to high polarity. However, the phosphonate or amide prodrug compound can increase the drug solubility, improve the administration route, also increase the drug stability and improve the drug oral bioavailability.
The phosphonate or amide compound (I-A) of the present disclosure can be used as a prodrug of the phosphonate compound (I). The compound of formula (I) was shown to be an ENPP1 inhibitor, and therefore, the compound of the present disclosure can be used in the treatment of ENPP 1-related diseases and used as a therapeutic agent for the ENPP 1-related diseases.
