Abstract
Provided herein are compounds and methods for the treatment of cancer. The methods include administering to a subject in need a therapeutically effective amount of a WEE1 inhibitor disclosed herein.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Described herein are compounds, methods of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and medicaments comprising such compounds, and methods of using such compounds for inhibiting WEE1.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cells depend on cell cycle checkpoint enzymes to allow time for DNA repair and maintenance of genomic integrity before they begin cell division, a process known as mitosis. Damage to cellular DNA activates the intracellular DNA damage response mechanisms. Essential to this process is the activation of WEE1 tyrosine kinase. WEE1, a nuclear tyrosine kinase, regulates the G2-M cell-cycle checkpoint via phosphorylation and inactivation of Cyclin Dependent Kinase 1 (CDK1) at Tyrl5 in response to extrinsic DNA damage and errors in DNA synthesis, thereby preventing entry into mitosis. WEE1 is regarded as essential to the DNA repair process, and is viewed as a mitotic gatekeeper.


Many conventional anticancer treatments, including antimetabolites, ionizing radiation, alkylating agents, platinum compounds and DNA topoisomerase inhibitors exert their antitumor effects by damaging DNA in tumor cells. However, these treatments also cause activation of cell cycle checkpoints, including WEE1 and CDK1 and 2, which gives the tumor cell time to repair the damaged DNA before it begins mitosis. Thus, tumor cells can exploit the DNA repair process, rendering them somewhat refractory or even immune to the anticancer therapy.


Although certain WEE1 inhibitors have been identified, such as AZD1775, there are shortcomings such as dose-limiting toxicities, including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and nausea, and off-target activity against other kinases, for example, the Ser/Thr kinase, PLK1.


There is a need for an agent that more selectively eliminates WEE1 activity, as well as an agent that offers the potential for reducing off-target toxicities.


BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Described herein are WEE1 inhibitors that are useful in treating cancer.


Disclosed herein is a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or stereoisomer thereof:

Further Forms of Compounds Disclosed Herein
Isomers/Stereoisomers

In some embodiments, the compounds described herein exist as geometric isomers. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein possess one or more double bonds. The compounds presented herein include all cis, trans, syn, anti, entgegen (E), and zusammen (Z) isomers as well as the corresponding mixtures thereof. In some situations, the compounds described herein possess one or more chiral centers and each center exists in the R configuration or S configuration. The compounds described herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the corresponding mixtures thereof. In additional embodiments of the compounds and methods provided herein, mixtures of enantiomers and/or diastereoisomers, resulting from a single preparative step, combination, or interconversion are useful for the applications described herein. In some embodiments, the 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, separating the diastereomers, and recovering the optically pure enantiomers. In some embodiments, dissociable complexes are preferred. In some embodiments, the diastereomers have distinct physical properties (e.g., melting points, boiling points, solubilities, reactivity, etc.) and are separated by taking advantage of these dissimilarities. In some embodiments, the diastereomers are separated by chiral chromatography, or preferably, by separation/resolution techniques based upon differences in solubility. In some embodiments, the optically pure enantiomer is then recovered, along with the resolving agent.


Labeled Compounds

In some embodiments, the compounds described herein exist in their isotopically-labeled forms. In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein include methods of treating diseases by administering such isotopically-labeled compounds. In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein include methods of treating diseases by administering such isotopically-labeled compounds as pharmaceutical compositions. Thus, in some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein include isotopically-labeled compounds, which are identical to those recited 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 compounds described herein, or a solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, fluorine, and chloride, such as 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 31P, 32P, 35S, 18F, and 36Cl, respectively. Compounds described herein, and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or stereoisomers thereof that contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or other isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of this disclosure. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H and 14C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, i.e., 3H and carbon-14, i.e., 14C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavy isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., 2H, produces certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. In some embodiments, the isotopically labeled compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof is prepared by any suitable method.

ecDNA mediates an important and clinically distinct mechanism of resistance to targeted therapies. There are immediate therapeutic opportunities for utility of the one or more WEE1 inhibitor described herein as a single agent or in combination with other therapies. In some embodiments, the one or more WEE1 inhibitor described herein may be used to treat an ecDNA+ cancer, ecDNA+ tumor or ecDNA+ tumor cells. One or more WEE1 inhibitor described herein may be used to treat tumors, such as with one or more amplified oncogenes (e.g. FGFR, EGFR, MET, KRAS, MDM2 amplifications), in some cases, the one or more amplified oncogenes comprise non-mutant forms of the oncogene and in some cases, the amplified oncogenes comprises mutant forms of the oncogenes. One or more WEE1 inhibitor described herein may be used to treat tumors for which there are no approved targeted therapies or for which highly efficacious therapies are lacking. One or more WEE1 inhibitor described herein may be used to treat tumors that have developed resistance to another therapy such as a resistance to a targeted agent. In some cases, a tumor (or tumor cells) treated with one or more targeted agents develops resistance to a targeted agent, such as a targeted agent directed to an oncogene or a targeted agent that directly inhibits activating mutant forms of certain oncoproteins (e.g. KRAS, BRAF, EGFR) or as a consequence of focal amplification such as ecDNA-based amplification of the target gene itself, and the one or more WEE1 inhibitor described herein may be used to treat such tumors or tumor cells.


Provided herein are methods wherein inhibition of WEE1 by the one or more WEE1 inhibitors described herein exhibits synthetic lethality with a cancer-targeted agent. In some embodiments, synthetic lethality arises with one or more WEE1 inhibitors described herein in combination with a cancer targeted agent. In some cases, a tumor background is identified as hyper-sensitive to a WEE1 inhibitor and allows a sufficient therapeutic index to enable tolerated doses that are efficacious. In some embodiments, synthetic lethality arises with one or more WEE1 inhibitors described herein in combination with a cancer targeted agent where the tumor or tumor cells are ecDNA+. In some cases, WEE1 inhibition results in reduced ecDNA copy number. In some cases, WEE1 inhibition results in enhanced cytotoxicity in ecDNA+ cells. In some cases, enhanced cytotoxicity results from the combination of WEE1 inhibition and inhibition of a cancer-target, such as an oncogene.


In an aspect of methods herein, a tumor or tumor cells to be treated are ecDNA+. In some cases, such tumor or tumor cells are determined to have an ecDNA signature. In some cases, a tumor or tumor cells are determined to have an ecDNA signature when the tumor or tumor cells have one or more characteristics associated with ecDNA+ tumors or tumor cells. For example, in some cases, the ecDNA signature is selected from the group consisting of a gene amplification; a p53 loss of function mutation; absence of microsatellite instability (MSI-H); a low level of PD-L1 expression; a low level of tumor inflammation signature (TIS); a low level of tumor mutational burden (TMB); an increased frequency of allele substitutions, insertions, or deletions (indels); and any combination thereof.

Gene amplification plays a role in the response of a tumor or tumor cells to cancer-directed therapies and in the development of resistance to targeted therapies. In some instances, gene amplification includes amplification of one or more genes, such as oncogenes, in a focal amplification, where the one or more oncogenes are in higher copy number, whereas surrounding genetic material (e.g., from the chromosomal location of such amplified gene) is not amplified or not at the same level of amplification. Focal amplifications may be located on ecDNA or ecDNA-derived, (i.e., derived from ecDNA, such as ecDNA that has reintegrated into a chromosomal location). ecDNA mediates an important and clinically distinct mechanism of resistance to targeted therapies. Tumor cells with ecDNA and/or ecDNA-derived amplifications may become non-responsive, less responsive, or resistant to a targeted therapy. There are immediate therapeutic opportunities for utility of the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof in combination with other therapies. In some embodiments, the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof may be used in combination with a therapeutic agent to treat an ecDNA+ cancer, ecDNA+ tumor or ecDNA+ tumor cells (i.e., tumor cells containing gene amplifications on ecDNA or derived from ecDNA). The combination of the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof and a therapeutic agent may be used to treat tumors, such as with one or more amplified oncogenes (e.g., BRAF, CDK4, CDK6, EGFR, FGFR, HER2, KRAS, MET, MDM2 amplifications); in some cases, the one or more amplified oncogenes comprise non-mutant forms of the oncogene and in some cases, the amplified oncogenes comprises mutant forms of the oncogenes. In some cases, the one or more amplified oncogenes are extrachromosomal (i.e., on ecDNA) and/or are ecDNA-derived and located on a chromosome. In some embodiments herein, the therapeutic agent used in combination with the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof is an inhibitor of a protein encoded by a gene that is amplified on ecDNA or the ecDNA-derived amplification.


The combinations described herein may be used to treat tumors that have developed resistance to another therapy such as a resistance to a targeted agent. In some cases, a tumor (or tumor cells) treated with a first targeted agent develops resistance to the first targeted agent or becomes less responsive or non-responsive to the first targeted agent. In some cases, the first therapeutic agent is an inhibitor of a protein encoded by a gene that is amplified on ecDNA or the ecDNA-derived amplification and the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof and the first targeted agent may be used to treat such tumors or tumor cells. In some cases, the first therapeutic agent is an inhibitor of a protein encoded by a gene that is amplified on ecDNA or the ecDNA-derived amplification and the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof and a second targeted agent may be used to treat such tumors or tumor cells, where the second targeted agent is an inhibitor of a different protein from the protein target of the first targeted agent.


Provided herein are methods wherein inhibition of WEE1 by the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof exhibits synthetic lethality with a cancer-targeted agent. In some embodiments, synthetic lethality arises with the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof in combination with a cancer targeted agent. In some cases, a tumor background is identified as hyper-sensitive to a WEE1 inhibitor and allows a sufficient therapeutic index to enable tolerated doses that are efficacious. In some embodiments, synthetic lethality arises with the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof in combination with a cancer-targeted agent where the tumor or tumor cells are ecDNA+ (i.e., contain ecDNA or ecDNA-derived gene amplification). In some cases, WEE1 inhibition results in reduced ecDNA copy number. In some cases, WEE1 inhibition results in enhanced cytotoxicity in ecDNA+ cells. In some cases, enhanced cytotoxicity results from the combination of WEE1 inhibition and inhibition of a cancer-target, such as an oncogene.


In some embodiments of a method disclosed herein, prior to treatment the tumor or tumor cells comprise ecDNA and wherein the treatment results in a reduction in the amount of ecDNA in the tumor or tumor cells.


In some embodiments of a method disclosed herein, prior to treatment the tumor or tumor cells comprise ecDNA and wherein level or amount of ecDNA subsequent to the treatment is not increased as compared to prior to treatment.

In some cases, such information is obtained prior to treatment with the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof and a targeted cancer therapeutic agent. In some cases, such information is obtained during the course of treatment with the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof inhibitor and a targeted cancer therapeutic agent. In some cases, such information is obtained after treatment with a first targeted cancer therapeutic agent but prior to treatment with the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, and if the information indicates the presence of ecDNA, or an ecDNA-derived gene amplification, the subject is treated with a combination of the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof and the first targeted cancer therapeutic agent or with a combination of the compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof and a second targeted cancer therapeutic agent.


In an aspect of methods herein, a tumor or tumor cells are determined to have an ecDNA signature. In some cases, a tumor or tumor cells are determined to have an ecDNA signature when the tumor or tumor cells have one or more characteristics associated with ecDNA+ tumors or tumor cells. For example, in some cases, the ecDNA signature is selected from the group consisting of a gene amplification; a focal gene amplification; characterization of a structural variation; a p53 loss of function mutation; absence of microsatellite instability (MSI-H); a low level of PD-L1 expression; a low level of tumor inflammation signature (TIS); a low level of tumor mutational burden (TMB); an increased frequency of allele substitutions, insertions, or deletions (indels); and any combination thereof.
