The compounds disclosed herein may contain one or more asymmetric centers and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-. Unless stated otherwise, it is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein are contemplated by this disclosure. When the compounds described herein contain alkene double bonds, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that this disclosure includes both E and Z geometric isomers (e.g., cis or trans.) Likewise, all possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms, and all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. The term “geometric isomer” refers to E or Z geometric isomers (e.g., cis or trans) of an alkene double bond. The term “positional isomer” refers to structural isomers around a central ring, such as ortho-, meta-, and para-isomers around a benzene ring.
A “tautomer” refers to a molecule wherein a proton shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule is possible. The compounds presented herein may, in certain embodiments, exist as tautomers. In circumstances where tautomerization is possible, a chemical equilibrium of the tautomers will exist. The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including physical state, temperature, solvent, and pH. Some examples of tautomeric equilibrium include:
“Optional” or “optionally” means that a subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur and that the description includes instances when the event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “optionally substituted aryl” means that the aryl radical may or may not be substituted and that the description includes both substituted aryl radicals and aryl radicals having no substitution.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” includes both acid and base addition salts. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any one of the substituted heterocyclic derivative compounds described herein is intended to encompass any and all pharmaceutically suitable salt forms. Preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds described herein are pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt” refers to those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free bases, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable, and which are formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, hydroiodic acid, hydrofluoric acid, phosphorous acid, and the like. Also included are salts that are formed with organic acids such as aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxy alkanoic acids, alkanedioic acids, aromatic acids, aliphatic and. aromatic sulfonic acids, etc. and include, for example, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like. Exemplary salts thus include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, nitrates, phosphates, monohydrogenphosphates, dihydrogenphosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, trifluoroacetates, propionates, caprylates, isobutyrates, oxalates, malonates, succinate suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, mandelates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, phthalates, benzenesulfonates, toluenesulfonates, phenylacetates, citrates, lactates, malates, tartrates, methanesulfonates, and the like. Also contemplated are salts of amino acids, such as arginates, gluconates, and galacturonates. See, e.g., Berge S. M. et al., Pharmaceutical Salts, J. Pharm. Sci. 66:1-19 (1997)). Acid addition salts of basic compounds may be prepared by contacting the free base forms with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt according to methods and techniques with which a skilled artisan is familiar.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt” refers to those salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. These salts are prepared from addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to the free acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts may be formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum salts and the like. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins, for example, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, 2-diethylaminoethanol, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, caffeine, procaine, N,N-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, hydrabamine, choline, betaine, ethylenediamine, ethylenedianiline, N-methylglucamine, glucosamine, methylglucamine, theobromine, purines, piperazine, piperidine, N-ethylpiperidine, polyamine resins and the like. See Berge et al., supra.
As used herein, “treatment” or “treating,” or “palliating” or “ameliorating” are used interchangeably herein. These terms refers to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including but not limited to therapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit. By “therapeutic benefit” is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient may still be afflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, the compositions may be administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease may not have been made.
“Prodrug” is meant to indicate a compound that may be converted under physiological conditions or by solvolysis to a biologically active compound described herein. Thus, the term “prodrug” refers to a precursor of a biologically active compound that is pharmaceutically acceptable. A prodrug may be inactive when administered to a subject, but is converted in vivo to an active compound, for example, by hydrolysis. The prodrug compound often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility or delayed release in a mammalian organism (see, e.g., Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs (1985), pp. 7-9, 21-24 (Elsevier, Amsterdam).
A discussion of prodrugs is provided in Higuchi, T., et al., “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” A.C.S. Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987.
The term “prodrug” is also meant to include any covalently bonded carriers, which release the active compound in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of an active compound, as described herein, may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the active compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent active compound. Prodrugs include compounds wherein a hydroxy, amino or mercapto group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug of the active compound is administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, free amino or free mercapto group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol or amine functional groups in the active compounds and the like.
Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are intended to include compounds which differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures except for the replacement of a hydrogen by a deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by 13C- or 14C-enriched carbon are within the scope of the present disclosure.
The compounds of the present disclosure optionally contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be labeled with isotopes, such as for example, deuterium (2H), tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or carbon-14 (14C). Isotophic substitution with 2H, 11C, 13C, 13C, 14C, 15C, 12N, 13N, 15N, 16N, 16O, 17O, 14F, 15F, 16F, 17F, 18F, 33S, 34S, 35S, 36S, 35Cl, 37Cl, 79Br, 81Br, 125I are all contemplated. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present embodiments, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present embodiments.

Bromodomain Inhibition and cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein
Histone acetylation is generally associated with the activation of gene transcription, as the modification is known to loosen the interaction of the DNA and the histone octamer by changing the electrostatics. In addition to this physical change, specific proteins are known to bind to acetylated lysine residues within histones in order to read the epigenetic code. Bromodomains are small (110 amino acid) distinct domains within proteins that are known to bind to acetylated lysine resides commonly, but not exclusively, in the context of histones. Around 50 proteins are known to contain bromodomains, and they have a range of functions within the cell, including bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) family of proteins and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP).
CBP and its paralog p300 are highly homologous, ubiquitous, versatile transcriptional coactivator proteins that are essential for development and many other physiological processes. In addition to involvement in transcriptional events, the coactivator proteins are known to contribute to other processes such DNA repair, RNA splicing. (R. Janknecht, The versatile functions of the transcriptional coactivators p300 and CBP and their roles in disease, Histology and Histopathology, 2002, 17: 657-668).
The human CBP protein contains 2442 amino acids. Several structural and functional domains have been identified in CBP, including the bromodomain (BRD), three cysteine-histidine rich regions (CH1, CH2 and CH3), and the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) domain. The bromodomain, which is found in many chromatin associated proteins, is thought to function as a histone binding motif. The three cysteine/histidine-rich domains are known to serve as docking modules for numerous transcriptional regulators. The CH2 domain is partly located within the HAT domain. Based on sequence homology data, part of the CH2 region has been classified as a plant homeodomain (PHD) type zinc finger which is found predominantly in proteins that function at the chromatin level. (Kalkhoven et al., The PHD Type Zinc Finger Is an Integral Part of the CBP Acetyltransferase Domain, Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2002, Vol. 22, No. 7: 1961-1970).
Bromodomains are made up of about 110 amino acids arranged in a characteristic structure made up of four α-helices (αZ, αA, αB, αC) connected by interhelical loops, termed the BRD fold. Bromodomains are known to bind specifically to acetylated lysine. (Hay et al., Discovery and Optimization of Small-Molecule Ligands for the CBP/p300 Bromodomains, Journal of The American Chemical Society, 2014, 136: 9308-9319). The human bromodomain family consists of 61 members, of which there are two distinct subgroups representing the histone acetyltransferase transcriptional co-activators, such as CBP/p300 which contains a single bromodomain, and the BET family proteins that usually contain two tandem bromodomains, such as BRD4. The bromodomains of BRD4 and CBP are also known to function differently as a transcriptional co-activator and a chromatin organizer, respectively. (Plotnikov et al., Structural Insights into Acetylated-Histone H4 Recognistion by the Bromodomain-PHD Finger Module of Human Transcriptional Co-Activator CBP, Structure, 2014, 22(2): 353-360).
Recent studies have elucidated the structure of the bromodomain-PHD tandem module of human CBP protein bound lysine-acetylated histone H4 peptides. Two different histone H4 peptides were used in the study, containing the same H4 residues 5-25, but carrying distinct lysine acetylation sites, i.e. lysine residue 20 was acetylated in case of H4K20ac and lysine residues 12 and 16 were acetylated in case of H4K12ac/K16ac. The structural analysis revealed various distinctions between the bromodomains of BRD4 and that of CBP. For example, it was observed that unlike the BRD4 bromodomains, which prefer di-acetylated histone H4 sequences, the CBP bromodomain demonstrated a clear preference of a singly-acetylated H4 sequence motif. The study further provided insights into distinct modes of singly and di-acetylated histone H4 recognition by the bromodomains of CBP and BRD4. (Plotnikov et al., Structural Insights into Acetylated-Histone H4 Recognistion by the Bromodomain-PHD Finger Module of Human Transcriptional Co-Activator CBP, Structure, 2014, 22(2): 353-360). Without being bound by any specific theory, it is hypothesized that the differences between the bromodomains of CBP and BRD4 will facilitate the identification of inhibitors that selectively target the bromodomain of CBP.
The CBP proteins have been associated with various clinical conditions. Haploinsufficiency of CBP in humans leads to Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, characterized by mental retardation, craniofacial abnormalities, and broad thumbs and big toes. Heterozygous deletion of CBP in mice has been shown to cause defects in multiple tissues including the hematopoietic system. Altered function of CBP, resulting from chromosomal translocations, also contributes to the formation of leukemias. (Gerd A. Blobel, CBP and p300: versatile coregulators with important roles in hematopoietic gene expression, Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 2002, Vol. 71: 545-556). The CBP protein has also been implicated to play a role in human cancers characterized by p53 mutations. In response to cellular stress, p53 undergoes post-translational modification of the C and N-terminal regions, including acetylation at the C-terminal region (e.g., lysine acetylation at K382 pf p53), which results in recruitment of CBP via its bromodomain. The CBP-p53 acetylated lysine interaction in turn is crucial for p53-induced p21 mediated G1 cell cycle arrest. Thus, it is hypothesized that inhibition of the CBP bromodomain, and thereby p53-mediated p21 activation, has important clinical applications in cancer and other diseases wherein hyperactive p53 is known to play a role, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease spinal cord diseases, multiple sclerosis, ischemic brain injury, infectious and auto-immune diseases, and myocardial ischemia. (Hay et al., Discovery and Optimization of Small-Molecule Ligands for the CBP/p300 Bromodomains, Journal of The American Chemical Society, 2014, 136: 9308-9319). Furthermore, studies have suggested that sequenstration of CBP is one of the underlying cause of neurodegenerative diseases caused by expanded polyglutamine repeats, such as Huntington's disease, Dentatorubral pallioluysian atrophy, spinal bulbar muscular atrophy and spinocerebellar ataxia type 1, 2,3,6,7 and 12 (Janknecht, The versatile functions of the transcriptional coactivators p300 and CBP and their roles in disease, Histol. Histopathol. 17:657-668 (2002)).
Therapeutic targeting of bromodomains has recently been recognized as an important potential therapeutic modality in human malignant and inflammatory diseases (Muller et al., 2011, Expert Rev Mol Med 13:e29; Filippakopoulos and Knapp, 2014, Nat Rev Drug Discov 13(5):337-356). Inhibitors of bromodomains exhibit anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting expression of anti-inflammatory genes. Th17 cells are a subset of T helper cells which produce IL-17A, IL17F, IL-21, IL-22, and GM-CSF. Th17 cells have been implicated as key effectors of autoimmune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PSA), rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and multiple sclerosis (MS). JQ1, a bromo and extraterminal domain (BET) bromodomain inhibitor, was shown to reduce collagen-induced arthritis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, two other human inflammatory diseases in which Th17 is implicated (Belkina et al., 2013, J Immunology 190(7):3670-3678). Secukinumab, an anti-IL-17A antibody, was shown to ameliorate ankylosing spondylitis (Baeten et al., 2013, Lancet 382(9906):1705-1713). In addition to supporting the importance of TH17 cells in such inflammatory diseases, this finding has intensified the search for new drugs capable of targeting TH17 cytokine production.
Th17 cells serve an important role in host immune responses by mediating the recruitment of neutrophils and macrophages in infected areas. Aberrant regulation of Th17 cells has been suggested to be a component in the pathogeneis of multiple inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. While Th17 cells have been understood to play a role in autoimmune and inflammatory processes, more recently Th17 cells have received new attention for their role in tumor immunology (Zou and Restifo, 2010, Nat Rev Immuno 10, 248-256; Coffelt et al., 2015, Nature 522, 345-348).
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are often recruited to and accumulate within tumors, which lead to immune evasion by cancer cells. These intra-tumoral regulatory T cells decrease the response of effector T cells, which is a major roadblock to clearance of tumor cells by the immune system. One approach to strengthening the immune response to tumors is to specifically inhibit regulatory T cell recruitment or accumulation within tumors, an approach referred to as cancer immunotherapy (Dougan and Dranoff, 2009, Ann. Rev Immuno 27, 83-117; Mellman et al., 2011, Nature 480, 480-489; Curiel, 2007, J Clinical Inv 117, 1167-1174; Nishikawa and Sakaguchi, 2014, Cur Op Imm 27, 1-7).
CBP has been shown to be a critical component in regulatory T cell biology and suggested to be required for differentiation of Tregs from naïve T cells. Specifically, deletion of CBP in mouse regulatory T cells led to impaired Treg suppressive function and reduced tumor growth in murine cancer models. Liu et al., Nat. Med. 19:1173 (2013); Liu et al., Mol. Cel. Biol. 34:3993 (2014). The CBP bromodomain comprises a hydrophobic pocket well suited to binding inhibitors, while the diversity of the surface and loop residues across the bromodomain allows for selective targeting by pharmacological agents. (Muller et al., 2011, Exp Rev Mol Med 13, e29; Hay et al., 2014, J Am Chem Soc, 136, 9308-9313). These characteristics make CBP an ideal target for immunotherapy. In support of this approach, Th17 cytokine production is disrupted by CBP bromodomain inhibition (Ghosh et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2016); Hammitzsch et al., PNAS 112:10768-10773 (2015)).
The activity of CBP inhibitors could result in impaired Treg differentiation and function, thus releasing suppression of effector responses in cancer and possibly reinitiate antitumor immunity. Therefore, these inhibitors, either alone or in conjunction with complementary cancer immunotherapies, could potentiate tumor eradication, such as through the reversal of cytotoxic CD8+ T cell exhaustion by antibody-mediated checkpoint inhibition (Brahmer et al., NEJM 366:2455 (2012); Topalian et al., 2012, NEJM 366, 2443-2454; Hodi et al., NEJM 363:711-723 (2010)). Other CBP inhibitors have been studied in the context of leukemia therapy (Picaud et al., Cancer Res. 75(23):1-14 (2015).

Determination of the IC50 for the CREBBP inhibitors disclosed herein was performed as follows: CREBBP was cloned and expressed in E. Coli as His-tag protein and purified by Nickel affinity and gel-filtration chromatography. The protein was further characterized as a single band with the correct molecular weight by SDS-PAGE. CREBBP binding and inhibition was assessed by monitoring the interaction of biotinylated H4-tetraacetyl peptide (AnaSpec, H4K5/8/12/16(Ac), biotin-labeled) with the target using the AlphaScreen technology (Perkin Elmer). In a 384-well ProxiPlate CREBBP (50 nM final) was combined with peptide (20 nM final) in 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.3), 10 mM NaCl, 0.25 mM TCEP, 0.1% (w/v) BSA, and 0.005% (w/v) Brij-35 either in the presence of DMSO (final 0.4% DMSO) or compound dilution series in DMSO. After 20-minute incubation at room temperature, Alpha streptavidin donor beads and Nickel Chelate acceptor beads were added to a final concentration of 5 μg/mL. After two hours of equilibration, plates were read on an Envision instrument and the IC50 was calculated using a four parameter non-linear curve fit.
The ability of the compounds disclosed herein to inhibit CBP activity was quantified and the respective IC50 value was determined. The IC50 values of various compounds disclosed herein is provided in Table 28.
Inhibition of BRD4 was determined as previously described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,034,900.
The IC50 values for inhibition of CREBBP and BRD4 by various compounds disclosed herein and known in the art are provided in Table 29.
Th17 Differentiation—IL-17A Secretion Assay: 100K CD4+ cells per well are plated in a 96 well plate in 1× Th17 differentiation cocktail (0.05 μg/ml IL6, 0.02 μg/ml IL23, 10 μg/ml anti-IFNγ, 10 μg/ml anti-IL4, 0.01 μg/ml IL1β, 0.003 μg/ml TGFβ and 1 bead/cell anti-CD3/CD28) for a total volume of 100 μL/well. The plates are cultured for 96 hr at 37° C. in 5% CO2. Differentiated Th17 cells are pooled, washed and suspended in complete media. 100K Th17 cells per well are plated in a 96 well plate in the presence of IL-23 at a final concentration of 25 ng/mL. Appropriate concentrations of CBP inhibitors are added to the cells for a total volume of 100 μL/well. DMSO and media controls are included. Plates are cultured for 96 h at 37° C. in 5% CO2. IL-17A levels in the supernatants are determined by using manufacturer's protocol (Meso Scale Discovery # K151ATB-2). Secreted IL-17A levels are interpolated from a standard curve and plotted by % DMSO control.
