Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a series of substituted 1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole-3-carboxamide compounds of formula I as kinase inhibitors, particularly Bruno's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors, and methods for their preparation and use in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, cancer and potential allergies.

[0002] Background Art

[0003] Bruno's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase belonging to the Tec family (Bradshaw et al, Cell Signal, 2010, 22, 1175-184). It plays an important role in the maturation of B cells, bone marrow cells, mast cells and platelets. BTK is an essential kinase in the B cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and is the driving force of CLL and other B cell malignancies (Treon SP et al, New England journal of Medicine, 2015, 373, 584-586; Treon SP et al, New England journal of Medicine, 2015, 372, 1430-1440; Cao Y et al, British Journal of Haematology, 2015, 170, 134-138; Carrie J Li et al, Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, 2018). It is mainly expressed in hematopoietic cells such as B cells, mast cells and macrophages, and is present in tissues including bone marrow, lymph nodes and spleen. They participate in signal transduction caused by almost all types of extracellular stimuli transmitted by growth factor receptors, cytokine receptors, G-protein coupled receptors, antigen-receptors and integrins (Qiu et al, Oncogene, 2000, 19, 5651-5661). Structurally, it is characterized by having a pleckstrin homology domain, a Src homology 3 domain, a Src homology 2 domain and a Src homology 1 domain (kinase domain). The pleckstrin homology domain binds to phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate (PIP3), inducing BTK to phosphorylate phospholipase Cγ, which then hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) into two second messengers, inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), thereby regulating downstream B cell signaling. Abnormal BTK activation is the main cause of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, and lupus, and is associated with many cancers. BTK gene mutations are directly associated with the immunodeficiency disease X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). Patients with this disease have immature B cells in the bone marrow, but they do not mature further and enter the circulation.

[0004] Several small molecule BTK inhibitors have been reported. As a first-generation BTK inhibitor, ibrutinib (Structure A, Lee A. Honigberg et al, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2010, 107, 13075-13080) has been used clinically to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (Novero A et al, Experimental Hematology & Oncology, 2014, 3, 1-7; Treon SP et al, New England journal of Medicine, 2015, 372, 1430-40; Wang ML et al, New England journal of Medicine, 2013, 369, 507-16; Brown JR et al, Blood, 2015, 125, 2915-22). However, ibrutinib has been shown to have some adverse side effects, such as vomiting, nausea, bleeding, rash, diarrhea, and atrial fibrillation, some of which are severe. These adverse reactions are partly due to its off-target effects on epidermal growth factor receptor and Tec family proteins other than BTK (Schwartzberg PL et al, Nature Reviews Immunology, 2005, 5, 284-295; Byrd JC et al, New England journal of Medicine, 2013, 369, 32-42; Rai K, Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2015, 8, 85; Treon SP et al, New England journal of Medicine, 2015, 372, 1430-1440; Brown JR et al, Blood, 2015, 125, 2915-2922; Wu JJ et al, Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2016, 21, 2-4). Based on these findings, more selective BTK inhibitors are being explored.

[0005] Acalabrutinib (ACP-196, structure B, Barf et al, Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2017, 363, 240-252; Robert B. Kargbo, ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2017, 8, 911-913) is a novel, irreversible, second-generation BTK inhibitor that is more selective than ibrutinib (Covey T et al, Cancer Research, 2015, 75, 2596; Wu J et al, Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2016, 9, 21).

[0006] ONO / GS-4059 (Structure C) is another novel, highly potent and selective BTK inhibitor. Its antitumor activity has been studied in preclinical models (Yasuhiro T et al, Cancer Research, 2013, 73, 2452) and clinical trials for the treatment of B-cell malignancies (Dyer M HC et al, Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2014, 32, 8553; Rule S SN et al, Blood, 2013, 122, 4397; Jones R et al, Blood, 2015, 126, 1749).

[0007] Zanubrutinib (BGB-3111, structure D, WO2014 / 173289A1; WO2018 / 137681A1; Guo YH et al, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2019, 62, 7923-7940) is another more selective and investigational second-generation irreversible BTK inhibitor reported. Compared with ibrutinib, it has good oral bioavailability and lower off-target inhibitory activity (Tam C et al, Blood, 2015, 126, 832; Na L et al, Cancer Research, 2015, 75, 2597).

[0008] Several other candidates (Bradshaw et al. Nat Chem Biol, 2015, 11(7), 525-531; US9447106 B2; CN103848810 A1) are in various stages of clinical trials and are being tested for a variety of diseases, including cancer and autoimmune diseases. All of these indicate that BTK inhibitors can be used to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer, allergies, and autoimmune diseases.

The techniques and methods described above can generally be performed according to conventional methods well known in the art, as described in the various general and more specific references cited and discussed in this specification.

[0205] When a substituent is described by a conventional chemical formula written from left to right, the substituent also includes chemically equivalent substituents that would result if the structure were written from right to left. For example, CH2O is equivalent to OCH2.

[0206] Unless otherwise indicated, general chemical terms such as, but not limited to, "alkyl" and "aryl" are equivalent to their optionally substituted forms. For example, "alkyl" as used herein includes optionally substituted alkyl.

[0207] The compounds described herein may have one or more stereogenic centers, and each center may exist in the form of R or S configuration or a combination thereof. Similarly, the compounds described herein may have one or more double bonds, and each double bond may exist in the form of E (trans) or Z (cis) configuration or a combination thereof. A specific stereoisomer described should be understood to include all possible stereoisomers, including positional isomers, diastereomers, enantiomers or epimers and mixtures thereof. Therefore, the compounds described herein include all configurationally different stereoisomers, positional isomers, diastereomers, enantiomers and epimers and their corresponding mixtures. Racemates (mixtures of S and R forms), diastereomers and single S or R isomers may exist. The present invention is intended to illustrate that the compounds claimed herein may be mixtures of diastereomers, racemates or single S or R isomers.

[0208] The term "optionally" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. For example, according to the definitions below, "alkyl optionally substituted with" means "alkyl" or "alkyl substituted with."

[0209] As used herein, a group referred to as "C1-C6" refers to a group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the moiety, i.e., groups containing 1 carbon atom, 2 carbon atoms, 3 carbon atoms, 4 carbon atoms, 5 carbon atoms, and 6 carbon atoms. Thus, by way of example only, "C1-C6 alkyl" means that there are from 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, i.e., the alkyl group is selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl, and isomers thereof.

[0210] As used herein, the terms "ring," "cyclic," and "membered ring," alone or in combination, refer to any covalently closed structure as described herein, including alicyclic, heterocyclic, aromatic, heteroaromatic, and polycyclic fused or non-fused ring systems. The ring may be optionally substituted. The ring may form part of a fused ring system. The term "membered" refers to the number of skeletal atoms comprising the ring. Thus, by way of example only, cyclohexane, pyridine, pyran, and pyrimidine are 6-membered rings.

[0211]

[0046] The term "fused," as used herein, alone or in combination, refers to ring structures wherein two or more rings have one or more bonds in common.

For example, the designation "C3-C6 heterocycle" refers only to the number of carbon atoms in the ring, not the total number of atoms in the ring. For example, the designation "4-8 membered heterocycle" refers to the total number of atoms contained in the ring (i.e., a four-, five-, six-, seven-, or eight-membered ring in which at least one atom is a carbon atom, at least one atom is a heteroatom, and the remaining 2 to 6 atoms are carbon atoms or heteroatoms). For heterocycles having two or more heteroatoms, the two or more heteroatoms may be the same or different. A heterocycle may be optionally substituted. It may be bonded to the heterocycle (i.e., attached to or further substituted with the parent molecule) via a heteroatom or carbon atom. A "heterocycle" in which the ring is saturated is referred to as a heterocycloalkyl.

[0213] The term "spiroheterocyclyl" as used herein, alone or in combination, refers to a polycyclic ring radical in which two rings have one carbon atom in common and at least one ring-forming atom is a heteroatom.

A fused aromatic ring group contains 2 to 4 fused rings, wherein the connected ring is an aromatic ring, and the other independent rings can be an alicyclic ring, a heterocyclic ring, an aromatic ring, a heteroaromatic ring, or any combination thereof. In addition, the term aryl also includes fused rings and non-fused rings. Moreover, the term aryl includes monocyclic, bicyclic, tricyclic, or more rings. Aryl (e.g., monocyclic aryl) contains, for example, 6 to about 12, or 6 to about 10, or 6 to about 8 ring-forming carbon atoms. Non-limiting examples of monocyclic aryl include phenyl; fused ring aryl includes naphthyl, phenanthrenyl, anthracenyl, azulenyl; and non-fused biaryl includes biphenyl.

[0789] Example 66 BTK (EGFR, BMX, or ITK, etc.) kinase assay

[0790] This assay was performed in-house.

[0791] Internal procedures:

[0792] The kinase inhibitory activity of the compounds was evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). BTK (EGFR, BMX or ITK, etc.) kinases were purchased from Carna Bioscience (Kobe, Japan). A total of 10 ng / mL anti-phosphotyrosine (PY713) antibody (abcam, Cambridge Science Park, UK) was pre-coated in a 96-well ELISA plate. The kinases were incubated with the indicated drugs in 1× reaction buffer (50 mmol / L HEPES pH 7.4, 20 mmol / L MgCl2, 0.1 mmol / L MnCl2, 1 mmol / L DTT) containing 20 μmol / L substrate (NH2-ETVYSEVRK-biotin) at 25°C for 1 hour. Then, a total of 3 μmol / L ATP was added and the reaction was allowed to continue for 2 hours. The reaction products were transferred to a 96-well ELISA plate containing the antibody and incubated at 25°C for 30 min. After incubation, the wells were washed with PBS and then incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled streptavidin. The wells were visualized using 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and the absorbance was read at 450 nm using a multimode plate reader (PerkinElmer, USA).

[0804] Example 67 Cell Antiproliferative Activity Assay

[0805] Reaction procedure:

[0806] Spin down the suspended cells and resuspend them in growth medium and count them using a cell counter. Dilute the cell suspension in growth medium to the desired concentration. Remove 95 μl of the cell suspension and place it in a 96-well plate. Add 5 μl of 20X compound to the 96-well plate. The final DMSO concentration in each well is 0.1%. Incubate at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 72 hours. Allow the assay plate to equilibrate to room temperature before measurement. Add 50 μl of CellTiter-Glo to each well. Reagents were added. The contents were mixed on an orbital shaker for 2 minutes to induce cell lysis. Incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes to stabilize the luminescent signal. Luminescence was recorded using an EnVision Multilabel Reader (PerkinElmer).

[0807] Cell viability (CV%) was calculated relative to vehicle (DMSO) treated control wells using the following formula: Cell viability (%) = (RLU compound - RLU blank) / (RLU control - RLU blank) * 100%. Data were analyzed using Graphpad 7.0, fitting a 4-parameter equation to generate concentration response curves.
