AI Technical Summary
There is a need for new targeted therapies for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have developed resistance to existing EGFR inhibitors due to mutations such as T790M, C797S, or double mutants like del19/T790M/C797S or L858R/T790M/C797S, as current therapies like osimertinib are ineffective against these resistant forms.
Development of compounds that act as allosteric inhibitors of EGFR, specifically targeting mutant forms of EGFR over wild-type EGFR, which are designed to inhibit kinase activity and reduce EGFR dimer formation, potentially combined with other agents like antibodies or ATP-competitive inhibitors to enhance efficacy.
These compounds effectively inhibit EGFR kinase activity in mutant forms, reducing resistance to existing therapies and minimizing toxicity to wild-type EGFR, offering a more potent treatment option for NSCLC patients with resistant mutations.

Background Art
[0003] The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, Erb-B1) belongs to a family of receptor tyrosine kinases that mediate the growth, differentiation, and survival of normal and malignant cells (Arteaga, C. L., J. Clin. Oncol. 19, 2001, 32-40). Dysregulation of EGFR is involved in many types of human cancer, and overexpression of this receptor is present in at least 70% of human cancers (Seymour, L. K., Curr. Drug Targets 2, 2001, 117-133), including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, glioma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and prostate cancer (Raymond, E., et al., Drugs 60 (Suppl. 1), 2000, 15-23, discussion 41-2; Salomon, D. S., et al., Crit. Rev. Oncol. Hematol. 19, 1995, 183-232; Voldborg B. R., et al., Ann. Oncol. 8, 1997, 1197-1206). Thus, EGFR has emerged as an interesting target for the design and development of diagnostic and therapeutic agents that can specifically bind to and inhibit the receptor tyrosine kinase activity and signaling pathways in cancer cells. The two most common EGFR-activating mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are deletion of exon 19 (del19) and the L858R point mutation.
[0004] The reversible EGFR inhibitors gefitinib and erlotinib are effective clinical therapies for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutations (Mok, T. S., et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 361, 2009, 947-57; Paez, J. G., et al., Science 304, 2004, 1497-500; Lynch, T. J., et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 350, 2004, 2129-39; Rosell, R., et al., Lancet Oncol. 13, 2012, 239-46). However, disease progression occurs in most patients after treatment with these drugs. In 60% of patients, the most common mechanism of acquired resistance is a secondary mutation in EGFR at position T790 (T790M) (Yu, H. A., et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 19, 2013, 2240-7). This mutation results in increased ATP affinity and thus makes it more difficult for the reversible EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) gefitinib and erlotinib to bind to the EGFR TKI domain (Yun C. H., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 105, 2008, 2070-5).
[0005] Covalent EGFR inhibitors have been developed to address resistance conferred by the EGFR T790M mutation. One such covalent EGFR inhibitor is afatinib, which has potent activity against both the mutant and wild-type (WT) EGFR (Li, D.; et al., Oncogene 27, 2008 (4702-2711). However, inhibition of WT EGFR results in toxicities including skin rash and diarrhea and thus may be dose-limiting in the clinic. (Yap, T. A.; et al., J Clin Onc, 28, 2010 (3965-3972)).
[0006] Third-generation covalent EGFR inhibitors that are selective for mutant EGFR over WT EGFR have overcome the limitations of afatinib and demonstrated improved clinical efficacy and tolerability (Cross, D. E. A.; et al., Cancer Discov. 4, 2014 (1046-1061)). Osimertinib was first approved for patients who developed resistance to reversible inhibitors via the T790M mutation and is now also approved as first-line therapy. Despite addressing the major resistance mechanisms of first-generation inhibitors, resistance to osimertinib has also emerged (Schmid, S., et al., Lung Cancer 147, 2020, 123-129). The resistance mechanisms include the C797S mutation, which prevents osimertinib from forming a covalent bond with the cysteine residue (Thress, K. T., et al., Nature Med. 21, 2015, 560-562). This resistance results in triple mutants (del19 / T790M / C797S or L858R / T790M / C797S) or double mutants (e.g., L858R / C797S) in the case of first-line therapy, which cannot be successfully treated with the currently approved series of EGFR inhibitors.
[0007] Therefore, there is still a need for new targeted therapies for NSCLC patients who have developed resistance to existing inhibitors.

The proliferation assay is performed at a range of inhibitor concentrations (10 μΜ, 3 μΜ, 1.1 μΜ, 330 nM, 110 nM, 33 nM, 11 nM, 3 nM, 1 nM), and the EC 50 is calculated.
[0136] An alternative method for measuring the effect on EGFR activity is to assay for EGFR phosphorylation. Wild-type or mutant (L858R / T790M, L858R / C797S, L858R / T790M / C797S, L858R / T790M / I941R, or L858R / T790M / L718Q) EGFR can be transfected into NIH-3T3 cells (which do not normally express endogenous EGFR), and the ability of an inhibitor to inhibit EGFR phosphorylation (using the concentrations as described above) can be assayed. While increasing the concentration of the inhibitor, the cells were exposed to the inhibitor for 6 hours and stimulated with EGF for 10 minutes. The effect on EGFR phosphorylation was assayed by Western blotting using a phospho-specific (Y1068) EGFR antibody.

Competitive in vitro assays can be measured by quantifying the ability of an inhibitor to bind to a protein kinase, radiolabeling the inhibitor prior to binding, isolating the inhibitor / kinase complex, and determining the amount of radiolabel bound, or by performing a competition experiment in which a novel inhibitor is incubated with a kinase bound to a known radioligand. Detailed conditions for assaying the compounds utilized as inhibitors of various kinases in the present disclosure are described in the following examples.
[0167] In accordance with the foregoing, the present disclosure provides a method for preventing or treating any of the diseases or disorders described above in a subject in need of such treatment, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and optionally a second active agent, wherein the second active agent blocks EGFR dimer formation. For any of the above uses, the required dosage will vary depending on the mode of administration, the particular condition being treated, and the desired effect.
[0168] In other embodiments, the compound and the second active agent that blocks EGFR dimer formation are administered simultaneously or sequentially.
[0169] Administration / Dosage / Formulation Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active compound, the liquid dosage forms can contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water or other solvents, solubilizing agents, and emulsifying agents, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3 - butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (especially cottonseed, groundnut, corn (maize), germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols, and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. In addition to the inert diluent, the oral compositions can also contain adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, and perfuming agents.
[0170] Injectable preparations (for example, sterile aqueous or oily suspensions for injection) can be formulated according to known techniques using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. Sterile injectable preparations can also be sterile injectable solutions, suspensions, or emulsions in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, a solution of 1,3-butanediol. Among others, water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P., and isotonic sodium chloride solution can be utilized as acceptable vehicles and solvents. In addition, sterile, non-volatile oils are conventionally used as solvents or suspending media. For this purpose, any non-irritating non-volatile oil can be utilized, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids, such as oleic acid, are used in injectable preparations.
[0171] In order to prolong the action of a drug, it is often desirable to delay the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be achieved by using a liquid suspension of a crystalline or amorphous material having poor water solubility. Thus, the absorption rate of a drug depends on its dissolution rate and, thus, can depend on crystal size and crystal form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form can be achieved by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
[0172] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories that can be prepared by mixing a compound of the present disclosure with a suitable non-irritating excipient or carrier, such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or suppository wax, which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and thus melt within the rectum or vaginal cavity to release the active compound.
[0173] Similar types of solid compositions can also be used as fillers in soft and hard filled gelatin capsules using excipients such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycol.
[0174] The active compound can also be in microencapsulated form using one or more excipients as described above. Solid dosage forms such as tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared using coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings, release control coatings, and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulation art. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound can also be admixed with at least one inert diluent, such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms can also, as is normal practice, contain additional substances other than inert diluents, such as tabletting lubricants and other tabletting aids, such as magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage form can also contain buffering agents.
[0175] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of the compounds of the present disclosure include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active ingredient is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and, optionally, any required preservative or buffer. Ophthalmic formulations, ear drops, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0176] Ointments, pastes, creams and gels can contain, in addition to the active compound of the present disclosure, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starches, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonite, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.
[0177] Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to the compound of the present disclosure, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminium hydroxide, calcium silicate and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can further contain conventional propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons.
[0178] Transdermal patches have the additional advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in a suitable vehicle. Penetration enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymeric matrix or gel.
[0179] In accordance with the methods of treatment of the present disclosure, a disorder is treated or prevented in a subject, such as a human or other animal, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure in an amount and for a period of time necessary to achieve the desired result.

The enzyme reaction solution (2× concentration, 5 μL) was added to the 384-well plate containing the compound and incubated for 30 minutes. With the addition of 5 μL of ATP up to a final concentration of 100 μM, the enzyme reaction was initiated and reacted for 20 minutes. The reaction was quenched by the addition of 10 μL of phospho-tyrosine antibody-europium(III) cryptate (1:180 volume ratio) and streptavidin XL665 (46.7 nM) in detection buffer containing EDTA, then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour and read on a PHERAstar plate reader (excitation = 337 nm, emission = 620 nm and 665 nm). The IC 50 values were determined by non-linear least squares fitting method in GraphPad Prism 7.0d, in triplicate, by an inhibition curve (an 11-point curve from 1.0 μM to 0.130 nM or a 23-point curve from 1.0 μM to 0.130 pM). The data obtained are shown in Table 3 below.

[0234] [Example 3] Ba / F3 cell proliferation model EGFR mutants L858R and L858R / T790M Ba / F3 cells have been described previously (Zhou, W., et al. Nature 462, 2009, 1070-1074). All cell lines were maintained in RPMI 1640 (Cellgro; Mediatech Inc., Herndon, VA) supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 units / mL penicillin, and 100 units / mL streptomycin. The EGFR I941R mutation was introduced via site-directed mutagenesis using the Quick Change Site-Directed Mutagenesis kit (Stratagene; La Jolla, CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. All constructs were confirmed by DNA sequencing. The constructs were transferred into the retroviral vector JP1540 using the Cre recombination system (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). Ba / F3 cells were then infected with the retrovirus according to a standard protocol as previously described (Zhou, et al, Nature 2009). Stable clones were obtained by selection with puromycin (2 μg / ml).
[0235] Growth and growth inhibition were evaluated by the Cell Titer Glo assay (Promega, Madison, WI) and performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The Cell Titer Glo assay is a luminescence-based method used to determine the number of viable cells based on the quantification of ATP present, and the number of viable cells is directly proportional to the amount of metabolically active cells present. Ba / F3 cells of different EGFR genotypes were exposed to the compounds disclosed herein for 72 hours, and the number of cells used in each experiment was determined empirically as previously established (Zhou, et al., Nature 2009). All experimental points were plated in triplicate within 384-well plates, and all experiments were repeated at least three times. A luminometer was used to detect the luminescent signal, and the data were graphed using GraphPad Prism version 5.0 in the window (GraphPad Software; www.graphpad.com). Curves were fitted using a non-linear regression model with a sigmoid dose response. The results of this assay for the compounds disclosed herein are shown in Table 4 below.
