Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention application with application date of October 26, 2021, application number 202180070254.9, and invention name “A highly active HPK1 kinase inhibitor”. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to a heterocyclic compound, in particular to a highly active HPK1 kinase inhibitor and use thereof. Background Art

[0003] HPK1, a member of the MAP4K family, is primarily expressed in hematopoietic cells and serves as an intracellular negative regulator of T cell proliferation and signaling. Antigen stimulation of T cells triggers the recruitment of the cytoplasmic adaptor protein SLP-76 to the lipid membrane TCR complex, providing binding sites for signal transduction kinases to facilitate TCR-mediated signaling and induce T cell activation. During this process, HPK1 is activated by phosphorylation by the tyrosine kinases Lck and Zap70, mediating T cell receptor protein interactions. HPK1 phosphorylates the adaptor protein SLP-76 at Ser376, enabling SLP-76 to bind to the scaffold protein 14-3-3ε and subsequently be degraded by the proteasome. This effect reduces SLP-76 binding to signal transduction kinases, blocking TCR signaling and subsequently inhibiting T cell activation and proliferation. HPK1 also regulates the maturation and activation of dendritic cells (DCs). Specifically, it inhibits the expression of T cell activation-related proteins such as CD80, CD86, and MHC complexes in DCs, thereby impairing DCs' ability to regulate T cell activation. The presentation of tumor antigens by activated DCs and the collaborative efforts between DCs and T cells are crucial components of the anti-tumor immune system. Furthermore, the tumor microenvironment is home to numerous immunosuppressive molecules, such as progesterone (PGE2) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), whose immunosuppressive effects are also closely linked to HPK1. Overall, small molecule compounds that specifically inhibit HPK1 could potentially suppress tumor growth by enhancing anti-tumor immunity through multiple pathways, primarily by improving T cell function, enhancing DC function, and reversing the tumor's immunosuppressive microenvironment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In one aspect, the present invention provides an intermediate for preparing a compound having HPK1 kinase inhibitory activity, having the following structure:

[0005]

[0006] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the intermediate Int-9, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0007]

[0008] Compound Int-6 (230 mg, 1.04 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous DMF (10 mL) and NaH (42 mg, 60% content, 1.04 mmol) was added under ice bath. After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, it was cooled to 0°C and a DMF (3 mL) solution of Int-8 (244 mg, 1.14 mmol) was added dropwise. After the addition was complete, the reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 2 hours. LCMS detected that the reaction of the raw material was complete. 0.1N NaOH solution (1 mL) was added to the reaction solution and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction solution was poured into water (40 mL), and a yellow solid precipitated. The solid was collected by filtration and dried to obtain Int-9.

[0009] Preferably, int-8 is prepared by the following method:

[0011] Compound Int-8a (300 mg, 1.42 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (10 mL). m-CPBA (604 mg, 85% content, 2.98 mmol) was added under ice-cooling. After completion of the addition, the reaction was continued under ice-cooling for 4 hours. LCMS confirmed complete reaction. The reaction solution was concentrated, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to yield Int-8 as a pale yellow solid.

[0012] Preferably, int-6 is prepared by the following method:

[0013]

[0014] Formic acid (2.14 g, 46.57 mmol, 1.76 mL) was added dropwise to acetic anhydride (3.17 g, 31.05 mmol, 2.93 mL) under ice bath conditions at 0°C, and then heated to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was then recooled to 0°C and added dropwise to a solution of Int-2 (500 mg, 2.59 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) (0°C), and then heated to room temperature and stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction solution was diluted with dichloromethane and washed three times with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution.

The reaction was quenched by adding saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate until bubbling ceased. The aqueous phase was extracted with methanol / dichloromethane (1 / 20, 50 mL x 2). The combined organic phases were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to yield compound Int-2a.

The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, concentrated, and the residue was purified by preparative thin-layer chromatography (methanol / dichloromethane / triethylamine = 1 / 10 / 0.1) to afford Int-2 as a yellow solid.

[0019] More preferably, int-1 is prepared by the following method:

[0020]

[0021] 1-Methyl-3,5-dinitropyridin-2-one Int-1a (1.0 g, 5.02 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (50 mL). Ammonia methanol solution (7 mol / L, 8.61 mL, 60.27 mmol) and 1-methylpiperidin-4-one Int-1b (625 mg, 5.52 mmol) were added sequentially. The reaction mixture was heated to 50°C and stirred for 5 hours. After cooling to room temperature and allowing to stand for 48 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was added with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain Int-1c (1.0 g), a red solid, which was used directly in the next reaction.

[0022] Compound Int-1c (1.0 g) obtained in the previous step was dissolved in methanol (30 mL), and 10% Pd-C (400 mg) was added. The mixture was reacted at room temperature under a hydrogen atmosphere for 6 hours. The palladium-carbon was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated to yield Int-1.

The compound solution is gradually diluted 3-fold with 0.2% DMSO medium, for a total of 8 concentration points. A solution containing 0.1% DMSO in RPMI 1640 medium is used as a control. 10 mice are added to each well of a Corning 96-well cell culture plate (Cat. No. 3599). 5 Spleen cells were then treated with an equal volume of compound dilutions. The control group was treated with RPMI 1640 medium containing 0.2% DMSO and incubated at 37°C in a cell culture incubator (Thermo Fisher Scientific, model: 3111) for 1 hour. Concanavalin A Cells were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. IL-2 levels in cell supernatants were measured using the Mouse IL-2 DuoSet ELISA Kit according to the kit's instructions. Data are presented as the highest fold ratio of the compound-stimulated signal to the 0.1% DMSO-induced signal.
