Technical Field

[0003] The present invention generally relates to novel substituted heterocyclic compounds having Menin-MLL interaction inhibitory activity, methods for their preparation, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and also relates to the use of such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof in treating diseases that benefit from inhibition of Menin-MLL interaction, such as the treatment of acute leukemia. Background Art

[0004] The development of human acute leukemia is associated with genetic and epigenetic alterations (Figueroa 2010; Rodríguez 2011). Approximately 5% to 10% of children and adults with acute leukemia develop a chromosomal translocation in the 11q23 region of chromosomes, resulting in rearrangement of KMT2A (MLL1) (Bill 2020). MLL1 rearrangement (MLL-r) triggers an aggressive form of leukemia with a 5-year survival rate of only 35% (Dimartino 1999; Marschalek 2011). This translocation occurs in up to 80% of infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Brown 2013). MLL-r leukemia generally carries a poor prognosis, especially in infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and effective and less toxic treatments are still lacking.

[0005] MLL1 is a histone lysine-N methyltransferase responsible for H3K4 methylation and is essential for the expression of the HOX family of hematopoietic cell differentiation regulators. MLL1 rearrangement to form MLL1 fusion proteins leads to transcriptional aberrations, driving the development of acute leukemia (Meyer 2018). MLL1 fusion proteins regulate target gene expression through interactions with chromatin-associated protein complexes. Menin, a key MLL partner protein in this complex, plays a crucial role in MLL fusion protein-driven target gene expression, regulating the expression of MEIS1 and HOX family proteins (Chen 2006). Menin has a surface binding pocket for MLL1, allowing it to bind with high affinity to a conserved sequence at the N-terminus of MLL1. This interaction is crucial for the transcriptional regulation of target genes by MLL1 fusion proteins (Yokoyama 2005; Caslini 2007). Therefore, modulating the Menin-MLL interaction is an important target for small molecule therapies for MLL-r leukemia. Blocking the interaction between Menin and MLL1 fusion protein using small molecule inhibitors has been shown to be a potential therapeutic option for treating MLL-r leukemia.

[0006] Currently, no Menin-MLL inhibitors have been approved for marketing, but six inhibitors have recently entered clinical trials abroad. Syndax's inhibitor SNDX-5613 (revumenib) first entered a Phase I / II clinical trial (NCT04065399) on August 22, 2019, targeting acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), mixed lineage acute leukemia (MLAL), mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and unidentified lineage acute leukemia (ALAL) with MLL rearrangements or NPM1 mutations. Kura's inhibitor KO-539 began a Phase I / II clinical trial on August 26, 2019 (NCT04067336). Janssen began a Phase I clinical trial of JNJ-75276617 on March 21, 2021 (NCT04065399). Daiichi Sankyo's inhibitor DS-1594 began a Phase I clinical trial on March 25, 2021. Biomea's inhibitor BMF-219 began a Phase I clinical trial on January 24, 2022. Sumitomo's inhibitor DSP-5336 began a Phase I clinical trial on February 28, 2022. Yehui Pharmaceutical's BN104 began a Phase I clinical trial on September 4, 2023. Bayer, Agios, the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania, and others also have patent portfolios.

[0007] Recently, according to the results of the AUGMENT-101 (NCT04065399) study, patients developed acquired resistance after receiving treatment with the Menin inhibitor revumenib (Perner 2023). Second-generation sequencing of bone marrow samples from resistant patients revealed somatic mutations in Menin. The mutation sites included M327V or M327I, T349M, G331R, and S160T, with a mutation frequency of 5.9% to 28.2%. The PDX model showed that when mice were continuously treated with the Menin inhibitor VTP-50469, 68% of the relapsed samples had mutations in Menin, including MEN1. M327V , MEN1 M327I , MEN1 G331R , MEN1 G331D , MEN1 T349M and MEN1 S160C , nearly identical to the patient's mutation site. Crystal structures revealed that the three most frequently mutated residues, M327, G331, and T349, are located near W346, impairing hydrogen bonding between revumenib and the indole NH group of W346. This reduces revumenib's binding activity to the Menin protein, but does not affect the Menin-MLL binding surface. Cellular and in vitro binding experiments also demonstrated a significant reduction in revumenib binding activity to the mutant Menin protein, thereby preventing revumenib-mediated regulation of leukemia gene expression by the Menin-MLL1 protein complex.

[0008] Therefore, developing a new generation of Menin inhibitors targeting Menin resistance mutations will effectively overcome the problem of drug resistance recurrence in patients, which is a huge clinical need. We use computer-aided drug design to discover novel compounds and, through structural modification, we obtain the desired new compounds with strong efficacy and good pharmaceutical properties against Menin resistance mutations.
