Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to RIPK1 inhibitors. Specifically, the RIPK1 inhibitors described herein can be useful in preventing, treating or acting as a remedial agent for RIPK1-related diseases.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Receptor-interacting protein-1 kinase (RIPK1) belongs to the family serine/threonine protein kinase involved in innate immune signaling. RIPK1 has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of a wide range of human neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases. This is supported by extensive studies which have demonstrated that RIPK1 is a key mediator of apoptotic and necrotic cell death as well as inflammatory pathways.


For example, RIPK1 inhibition has been found to be useful as a treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI), a destructive clinical condition induced by multiple insults including ischemic reperfusion, nephrotoxic drugs and sepsis. It has been found that RIPK1-mediated necroptosis plays an important role in AKI and a RIPK1 inhibitor may serve as a promising clinical candidate for AKI treatment. Wang JN, et al., RIPK1 Inhibitor Cpd-71 Attenuates Renal Dysfunction in Cisplatin-Treated Mice via Attenuating Necroptosis, Inflammation and Oxidative Stress. Clin Sci (Lond). 2019 Jul. 25:133 (14): 1609-1627.


Additionally, human genetic evidence has linked the dysregulation of RIPK1 to the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis as well as other inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Alexei Degterev, Dimitry Ofengeim, and Junying Yuan, Targeting RIPK1 for the treatment of human diseases, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, May 14, 2019, 116 (20), 9714-9722: I to Y, et al., RIPK1 mediates axonal degeneration by promoting inflammation and necroptosis in ALS, Science, 2016, 353:603-8: Caccamo A, et al., Necroptosis activation in Alzheimer's disease, Nat Neurosci, 2017, 20:1236-46; Ofengeim D, et al., Activation of necroptosis in multiple sclerosis, Cell Rep., 2015, 10:1836-49.


It also has been demonstrated that necroptosis is a delayed component of ischemic neuronal injury, thus RIPK1 inhibition may also play a promising role as a treatment for stroke. Degterev A, et al., Chemical inhibitor of nonapoptotic cell death with therapeutic potential for ischemic brain injury, Nat Chem Biol 2005, 1 (2): 112-119.


Therefore, there is a need for inhibitors of RIPK1 that offer high selectivity which can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, thus offering the possibility to target neuroinflammation and cell death which drive various neurologic conditions including Alzheimer's disease, ALS, and multiple sclerosis as well as acute neurological diseases such as stroke and traumatic brain injuries.

Their absolute stereochemistry may be determined by the X-ray crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline intermediates which are derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute configuration. If desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds may be separated so that the individual enantiomers are isolated. The separation can be carried out by methods well known in the art, such as the coupling of a racemic mixture of compounds to an enantiomerically pure compound to form a diastereomeric mixture, followed by separation of the individual diastereomers by standard methods, such as fractional crystallization or chromatography. The coupling reaction is often the formation of salts using an enantiomerically pure acid or base. The diastereomeric derivatives may then be converted to the pure enantiomers by cleavage of the added chiral residue. The racemic mixture of the compounds can also be separated directly by chromatographic methods utilizing chiral stationary phases, which methods are well known in the art.


Alternatively, any enantiomer of a compound may be obtained by stereoselective synthesis using optically pure starting materials or reagents of known configuration by methods well known in the art.


It will be understood that the present invention is meant to include the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and also salts that are not pharmaceutically acceptable, of the compounds described herein, when they are used as precursors to the free compounds or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or in other synthetic manipulations.


Solvates, and in particular, the hydrates of the compounds of the structural formulas described herein are included in the present invention as well.


Some of the compounds described herein may exist as tautomers, which have different points of attachment of hydrogen accompanied by one or more double bond shifts. For example, a ketone and its enol form are keto-enol tautomers. The individual tautomers as well as mixtures thereof are encompassed with compounds of the present invention.


In the compounds described herein, the atoms may exhibit their natural isotopic abundances, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched in a particular isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number predominantly found in nature. The present invention is meant to include all suitable isotopic variations of the compounds of the formulas described herein. For example, different isotopic forms of hydrogen (H) include protium (1H) and deuterium (2H). Protium is the predominant hydrogen isotope found in nature. Enriching for deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages, such as increasing in vivo half-life or reducing dosage requirements, or may provide a compound useful as a standard for characterization of biological samples. A 3H, 11C, 18F labeled compound may be used for PET or SPECT or other imaging studies. Isotopically-enriched compounds can be prepared without undue experimentation by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Schemes and Examples herein using appropriate isotopically-enriched reagents or Intermediates.


It should be noted that chemically unstable compounds are excluded from the embodiments contained herein.

RIPK1-ADP-Glo Enzymatic Assay

The enzymatic activity of RIPK1 was measured using an assay derived from ADP-Glo kit (™Promega), which provides a luminescent-based ADP detection system. Specifically, the ADP generated by RIPK1 kinase was proportionally detected as luminescent signals in a homogenous fashion. In this context, the assessment of the inhibitory effect of small molecules (EC50) was measured by the effectiveness of the compounds to inhibit the ATP to ADP conversion by RIPK1.


In this assay, the potency (EC50) of each compound was determined from a ten-point (1:3 serial dilution: top compound concentration of 100000 nM) titration curve using the following outlined procedure. To each well of a white ProxiPlus 384 well-plate, 30 nL of compound (1% DMSO in final assay volume of 3 μL) was dispensed, followed by the addition of 2 μL of 1x assay buffer (25 mM Hepes 7.3, 20 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.005% Tween20, and 0.02% BSA) containing 37.5 nM of GST-RIPK1 (recombinant GST-RIPK1 kinase domain (residues 1-327) enzyme produced from baculovirus-transfected Sf21 cells: MW=62 kDa). Plates were placed in an ambient temperature humidified chamber for a 30 minutes pre-incubation with compound. Subsequently, each reaction was initiated by the addition of 1 μL 1× assay buffer containing 900 μM ATP and 3 μM dephosphorylated-MBP substrate. The final reaction in each well of 3 μL consists of 25 nM of GST-RIPK1, 300 M ATP, and 3 μM dephosphorylated-MBP. Kinase reactions were allowed to proceed for 150 minutes prior to adding ADP-Glo reagents per Promega's outlined kit protocol. Dose-response curves were generated by plotting percent effect (% product conversion: Y-axis) vs. Logio compound concentrations (X-axis). EC50 values were calculated using a non-linear regression, four-parameters sigmoidal dose-response model and are provided for example compounds of the invention (labeled “RIPK1 EC50 (nM)” throughout the above examples).
