Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to novel Aurora-A kinase selective degradation-inducing compounds containing modified cereblon conjugates, methods for preparing the compounds, and their uses. Background Technology
[0002] Aurora kinases belong to the serine / threonine kinase family and are crucial for cell proliferation. The two main Aurora kinases (Aurora-A and Aurora-B) are closely related in their kinase domain sequences but have distinctly different functions during mitosis. Among small molecule-based Aurora kinase inhibitors, selective inhibitors of Aurora-A kinase (AURKA) have been extensively studied as potential anticancer therapeutics (Borisa, Ankit C., and Hardik G. Bhatt. "A comprehensive review on Aurora kinase: Small molecule inhibitors and clinicaltrial studies." European journal of medicinal chemistry 140(2017):1-19).
[0003] While the catalytic activity of AURKA is crucial for its mitotic function, recent reports have also highlighted additional non-catalytic functions that are difficult to target with conventional small molecules. As an alternative approach, PROTAC-mediated AURKA depletion suggests that AURKA has an important non-catalytic function during DNA replication (Adhikari, Bikash et al. "PROTAC-mediated degradation reveals a non-catalytic function of AURORA-A kinase." Nature Chemical Biology 16.11(2020):1179-1188).
[0004] 2,4-Diphenylamine pyrimidine derivatives have been reported as excellent selective AURKA inhibitors (Aliagas-Martin, Ignacio et al., "A class of 2,4-dianilinopyrimidine Aurora A inhibitors with unusually high selectivity against Aurora B." Journal of medicinal chemistry 52.10 (2009):3300-3307). The applicant previously reported the synthesis of novel PROTAC compounds by linking 2,4-diphenylamine pyrimidine derivatives via a linker to von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) or cereblon (CRBN) conjugates (e.g., thalidomide), which mediate the selective degradation of AURKA.
[0005] In current PROTAC technology, regulating the chemical composition of CRBN conjugates is a crucial step in optimizing protein degraders, and even small structural changes can have a profound impact on the overall characteristics of PROTACs (including targeted degradation depth, off-target effects, and other drug-like properties) (Norris, Stephen et al., "Design and Synthesis of Novel Cereblon Binders for Use in Targeted Protein Degradation." Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2023)). In this context, by using a low molecular weight glutarimide-based CRBN conjugate, the inventors successfully synthesized a novel optimized AURKA degrader that exhibits effective selective degradation of AURKA and / or cytotoxicity against cancer cells, as well as improved drug properties.

[0203] In one embodiment, the novel compound disclosed herein is an AURKA degrader that induces the degradation of AURKA protein in cells.
[0204] The PROTAC of the present invention can induce the proteasome degradation of AURKA in cells by recruiting CRBN ubiquitin ligase to AURKA (supported by experimental examples of the present disclosure). For example, the present disclosure discloses that compounds 1 to 123 have AURKA-degrading activity (confirmed by luciferase assays on the HeLa LgBit cell system), thereby resulting in inhibitory activity against cancer cell viability (confirmed by cell viability assays on the small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line NCI-H446).

[0210] Neurological disorders include all neurological disorders that can exhibit preventive or therapeutic effects due to inhibition of AURKA activity, and specifically may be one or more of the following: central nervous system disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, senile dementia, epilepsy, Lou Gehrig's disease, stroke, and neurological damage and axonal degeneration-related disorders following brain or spinal cord injury, but are not limited thereto.
[0211] To improve drug activity, any known strategy in the field of PROTACs can be applied to the PROTACs of this invention, including photochemically controlled PROTACs (PHOTACs), hypoxia-activated PROTACs, folic acid-encapsulated PROTACs, antibody-PROTAC conjugates (Ab-PROTACs) and aptamer-PROTAC conjugates (APCs), as well as BCL-XL PROTACs, etc. (Zhao, Chunlong and Frank J. Dekker. "Novel Design Strategies to Enhance the Efficiency of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras." ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science 5.9(2022):710-723).
[0212] In one embodiment, the PROTAC of the present invention can be used as a payload for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) (e.g., antibody-PROTAC conjugates (Ab-PROTAC)). ADCs can specifically deliver cytotoxic payloads to cancer cells, enabling maximum effect against cancer cells while minimizing undesirable effects on non-cancer cells. Therefore, Ab-PROTACs utilizing the PROTAC of the present invention can be a strategy for improving the tissue- and cell-type selectivity of PROTACs.
