Description
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

Disclosed herein is a compound of Formula (I) for inhibiting TYK2 and treating a disease associated with the undesirable tyk-2 activity (tyk-2 related diseases), a method of using the compounds disclosed herein for treating inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same.


BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Janus family of kinases includes JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and tyrosine kinase 2 (Tyk2) and are nonreceptor tyrosine kinases that bind to the intracellular portion of cell surface cytokine receptors. In response to the stimulation of these receptors, the Janus kinases phosphorylate signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins, which then dimerize, translocate to the nucleus, and activate gene transcription. Tyrosine kinase 2 (Tyk2) is a member of the Janus kinase (JAK) family of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases and has been shown to be critical in regulating the signal transduction cascade downstream of receptors for IL-12, IL-23 and type I interferons in both mice (Ishizaki, M. et al., “Involvement of Tyrosine Kinase-2 in Both the IL-12/TH1 and IL-23/TH17 Axes in vivo”, J. Immunol., 187: 181-189 (2011); Prchal-Murphyl, M. et al., “TYK2 kinase activity is required for functional type I interferon responses in vivo”, PloS one, 7:e39141 (2012)) and humans (Minegishi, Y. et al., “Human tyrosine kinase 2 deficiency reveals its requisite roles in multiple cytokine signals involved in innate acquired immunity”, Immunity, 25:745-755 (2006)). Tyk2 mediates the receptor-induced phosphorylation of members of the STAT family of transcription factors, an essential signal that leads to the dimerization of STAT proteins and the transcription of STAT-dependent pro-inflammatory genes. Tyk2-deficient mice are resistant to experimental model of colitis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis, demonstrating the importance of Tyk2-mediated signaling in autoimmunity and related disorders (Ishizaki, M. et al., “Involvement of Tyrosine Kinase-2 in Both the IL-12/TH1 and IL-23/TH17 Axes in vivo”, J. Immunol., 187: 181-189 (2011); Oyamada, A. et al., “Tyrosine kinase 2 plays critical roles in the pathogenic CD4 T cell responses for the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis”, J. Immunol., 2009, 183, 7539-7546).


To date, most of the known small molecule JAK inhibitors that have progressed into development are active site-directed inhibitors that bind to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) site of the catalytic domain (also referred to as the JH1 or “Janus Homology 1” domain) of the JAK protein, which prevents catalytic activity of the kinase by blocking ATP, downstream phosphorylation, and resulting pathway signal transduction (Bryan, M. et al., “Kinase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Immunological Disorders: Recent Advances”, J Med. Chem. 2018, 61, 9030-9058). It's well-known that JAK2 is involved in hematopoiesis (Neubauer, H.; et al., “JAK2 deficiency defines an essential developmental checkpoint in definitive hematopoiesis”, Cell 1998, 93, 397-409) and the inhibition of JAK2 can cause side effects such as anemia, neutropenia, and increased infection risk and dyslipidemia (Wollenhaupt, J., et al., “Safety and efficacy of tofacitinib, an oral Janus Kinase Inhibitor, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in open-label. J. Rheumatol. 2014, 41, 837-852; He, Y., et al., Efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Musculoskelet. Disord. 2013, 14, 298; Zerbini, C. A, et al., Tofacitinib for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Expert Rev Clin. Immunol. 2012, 8, 319-331).


Small molecule inhibitors of TYK2-JH2 domain are being developed for treating autoimmune diseases. BMS986165 (WO2014074661A1, WO2018183649A1, WO2018183656A1 and WO2019232138A1) is a first-in-class of TYK2-JH2 inhibitor, currently undergoing multiple clinical trials in psoriasis, ulcerative colitis (UC), lupus and systemic lupus erythematosus. The other TYK2-JH2 inhibitor which entered clinical trials is ABBV-712 (See, for example, WO2019178079A1, WO2019178079A9, JP6557436B1, and US2019276450A1) and it is in a clinical trial for psoriasis.


SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

Disclosed herein provides a serial of compounds which inhibit the pseudokinase (JH2) domain of TYK2. These compounds showed picomolar to nanomolar biochemical activity in TYK2-JH2 binding assay and also showed nanomolar activity in cellular assay. In the meanwhile, these compounds showed excellent selectivity against JAK1 in biochemical assay and excellent selectivity against JAK2 in cellular assay.


In the present discourse, compounds bind to the pseudokinase (JH2) domain of TYK2 and inhibit its function through an allosteric mechanism. In the meanwhile, these compounds have greatly improved selectivity over other JAK family members (JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3).

Where the compounds disclosed herein possess two or more asymmetric centers, they may additionally exist as diastereomers. Enantiomers and diastereomers fall within the broader class of stereoisomers. All such possible stereoisomers as substantially pure resolved enantiomers, racemic mixtures thereof, as well as mixtures of diastereomers are intended to be included. All stereoisomers of the compounds disclosed herein and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are intended to be included. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, reference to one isomer applies to any of the possible isomers. Whenever the isomeric composition is unspecified, all possible isomers are included.


The term “substantially pure” as used herein means that the target stereoisomer contains no more than 35%, such as no more than 30%, further such as no more than 25%, even further such as no more than 20%, by weight of any other stereoisomer(s). In some embodiments, the term “substantially pure” means that the target stereoisomer contains no more than 10%, for example, no more than 5%, such as no more than 1%, by weight of any other stereoisomer(s).


When compounds disclosed herein contain olefinic double bonds, unless specified otherwise, such double bonds are meant to include both E and Z geometric isomers.


When compounds disclosed herein contain a di-substituted cyclohexyl or cyclobutyl group, substituents found on cyclohexyl or cyclobutyl ring may adopt cis and trans formations. Cis formation means that both substituents are found on the upper side of the 2 substituent placements on the carbon, while trans would mean that they were on opposing sides.


It may be advantageous to separate reaction products from one another and/or from starting materials. The desired products of each step or series of steps is separated and/or purified (hereinafter separated) to the desired degree of homogeneity by the techniques common in the art. Typically such separations involve multiphase extraction, crystallization from a solvent or solvent mixture, distillation, sublimation, or chromatography. Chromatography can involve any number of methods including, for example: reverse-phase and normal phase; size exclusion; ion exchange; high, medium and low pressure liquid chromatography methods and apparatus; small scale analytical; simulated moving bed (“SMB”) and preparative thin or thick layer chromatography, as well as techniques of small scale thin layer and flash chromatography. One skilled in the art will apply techniques most likely to achieve the desired separation.


“Diastereomers” refers to stereoisomers of a compound with two or more chiral centers but which are not mirror images of one another. Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereoisomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of a chiral HPLC column.


A single stereoisomer, e.g., a substantially pure enantiomer, may be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixture using a method such as formation of diastereomers using optically active resolving agents [Eliel, E. and Wilen, S. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1994; Lochmuller C. H., et al. “Chromatographic resolution of enantiomers: Selective review.” J Chromatogr., 113 (3) (1975): pp. 283-302]. Racemic mixtures of chiral compounds of the invention can be separated and isolated by any suitable method, including: (1) formation of ionic, diastereomeric salts with chiral compounds and separation by fractional crystallization or other methods, (2) formation of diastereomeric compounds with chiral derivatizing reagents, separation of the diastereomers, and conversion to the pure stereoisomers, and (3) separation of the substantially pure or enriched stereoisomers directly under chiral conditions. See: Wainer Irving W, Ed. Drug Stereochemistry: Analytical Methods and Pharmacology. New York: Marcel Dekker Inc., 1993.


“Pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

embedded image


To a solution of methyl 4,6-dichloronicotinate (2 g, 9.7 mmol) and PMBNH2 (2.1 g, 15.3 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was added TEA (3 g, 29.7 mmol) at rt. The mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h. Then H2O was added and the mixture was extracted with EA. The organic layer was concentrated and the crude product was used in the next step without purification. MS (ESI) m/e [M+H]+=307.


Step 2: Synthesis of 6-chloro-4-((4-methoxybenzyl)amino)nicotinic acid

The X-ray crystal structure of human Tyk2 JH12 domain in complex with BMS986165 (PDB ID: 6NZP) was downloaded from the RCSB protein data bank and prepared by the Protein Preparation Wizard in Schrödinger 2020, including removing crystallographic waters, fixing bond orders, adding hydrogens, assigning partial charges with the OPLS3e force field, and minimizing the added hydrogens. The 3D structure of the Example B5 was processed by LigPrep module of Schrödinger 2020 at pH7.4. And then the ligand was docked into the binding pocket (with a radius of 10 Å around BMS986165 binding site) of the above prepared Tyk2 JH2 domain using Glide SP (standard precision). Standard default settings were used for other parameters.


The binding pose of Example B5 in Tyk2 JH2 domain showed importance of substituted position of methylsulfonyl group and acetamide group on the two pyridine rings, for the Tyk2 inhibitors of the present disclosure (Scheme 1). The substituted position of methylsulfonyl group was essential for potency, meta position was much better than orth position, for example, Examples B1 and B5 showed Tyk2 JH2 domain bio-chemical potency at 0.038 nM and 0.016 nM, respectively, whereas Examples B15 and B14 were 3079-fold and 5000-fold less potent, respectively, that was due to the strong interaction between methylsulfonyl group on the pyridine ring and Lys642 residue of Tyk2 (Scheme 1). The acetamide group on the other pyridine ring can also form crucial interaction with Lys642 of Tyk2. Furtherly, the substitution R of acetamide group on the other pyridine ring effected the Tyk2 inhibition potency, for example, the potency dramatically decreased when replacing R from methyl group (Example B1) to cyclopropane group (Example B20). and. In addition, the nitrogen (N) atom of the pyridine ring, which is at the adjacent position of methylsulfonyl, was essential for coplanarity of the two pyridine rings, for example, Example B5 is 2-fold more potent than Example B1 in bio-chemical assay and 40-fold more potent in cellular assay.

Biological Assay: Mouse PK Study

The pharmacokinetics of compounds were evaluated in male CD-1 mouse via Oral Administration (dose of 10 mg/kg). For oral administration study, test compounds were added in 0.5% MC in water and administrated to mice at 10 mg/kg by gavage. Blood was collected into EDTA-K2 anticoagulant tube at 15, and 30 min and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 h after administration. Approximately 30 μL blood was collected at each time point. And then the blood was centrifuged at 2000 g for 5 min at 4° C. using a centrifuge to obtain the plasma. The plasma sample was transferred into a tube and stored in a freezer at approximately −70° C. until the determination of concentration by LC-MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated by using WinNonlin software (version 8.1, Pharsight Corporation, CA, USA) with non-compartmental method. The following pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated, whenever possible from the plasma concentration-time data: Tmax, Cmax, AUClast, AUCinf, T1/2 for PO administration. All animals were fasted before experiment. The results are shown in Table 15.
