Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of drug synthesis, and specifically relates to a novel RET inhibitor and a preparation method and use thereof. Background Art

[0002] The present invention generally relates to novel compounds and methods for their preparation and use as RET inhibitors, for example for the treatment of cancer.

[0003] The RET gene was discovered by Takahashi et al. (Takahashi M, Ritz J, Cooper GM. Activation of novel human transforming gene, ret, by DNA rearrangement. Cell, 1985, 42(2): 581-588) in transformed cultured mouse NTH3T3 cells and was named the RET gene. The RET gene is a proto-oncogene located on the long arm of chromosome 10 (10q11.2). The encoded RET protein is a tyrosine kinase receptor composed of a cysteine-rich cadherin-like extracellular region, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular domain with tyrosine kinase activity. It shares 37% amino acid identity with the ALK kinase domain. RET protein stimulates receptor dimerization through the binding of ligand to receptor, and the intracellular region undergoes autophosphorylation and intracellular substrate phosphorylation, thereby activating various downstream pathways, such as RAS / RAF / MEK / ERK, PI3K / AKT and STAT pathways, playing an important role in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation (J Clin Oncol, 2012, 30(2): 200-202).

[0004] With the gradual progress of research, it has been found that the occurrence of many diseases is closely related to RET gene mutations, including papillary thyroid carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, congenital medullary colon, lung adenocarcinoma, etc. Currently, only four RET fusion genes, KIF5B-RET, CCDC6-RET, TRIM33-RET, and NCOA4-RET, have been reported in non-small cell lung cancer, and KIF5B-RET is the most common RET fusion gene in non-small cell lung cancer (Cancer, 2013, 119(8): 1486-1494). KIF5B-RET is a fusion gene formed by chromosomal inversion (p11;q11) of the KIF5B (kinesin family member 5B) gene and the RET gene. It was first confirmed in adenocarcinoma of non-smoking Koreans through whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing. KIF5B-RET is present at a very low rate in lung cancer and is more common in non-smokers and adenocarcinoma patients. It is also exclusive of other mutations, such as EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, ErbB2, and EML4-ALK (Genome Res, 2012, 22(3): 436-445). The KIF5B-RET fusion protein contains a motor domain and a coiled-coil domain of KIF5B. Through dimerization of the coiled-coil domain, the RET tyrosine kinase activity of the fusion protein can be abnormally activated, thereby promoting lung tumorigenesis (Cancer, 2011, 117(12): 2709-2718). In a study by Qian et al. (Mol Cancer, 2014, 13:176), the KIF5B-RET fusion kinase was shown to possess significant oncogenic activity both in vitro and in vivo, and the STAT3 signaling pathway may be a major downstream mediator of tumorigenesis. Evidence suggests that KIF5B-RET regulates the sustained activation of STAT3. The KIF5B-RET fusion kinase can bind to STAT3, directly phosphorylating and activating STAT3 at Tyr705. It can also mediate activation of STAT3 at Tyr705 through a JAK / STAT3-dependent pathway, triggering phosphorylation of Ser727 via the RAS / RAF / MEK / ERK1 pathway. Currently, some small molecule kinase inhibitors targeting multiple kinases have inhibitory activity against RET kinase. For example, Vandetinib and Cabozantinib have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of thyroid cancer. Others such as Ponatinib, Nintedanib, and Lenvatinib are also undergoing clinical research on tumors with abnormal RET signaling activation. However, due to the lack of selectivity for the RET protein, the above-mentioned multi-kinase inhibitors have different problems in efficacy and safety, which limits their further research and application in RET-abnormal tumors.Therefore, there is an urgent need for small molecule kinase inhibitory compounds that highly selectively target the RET protein in clinical practice.

[0005] Recently, the RET selective inhibitors Selpercatinib and Pralsetinib have been approved for marketing, with indications for thyroid cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (Selpercatinib and Pralsetinib drug instructions, FDA). Not all patients with RET rearrangement / mutation respond to these drugs, so it is necessary to develop inhibitors with high activity, few side effects, strong specificity, and effective against RET mutations and rearrangements.

[0331] 3. Data Analysis

[0332] Calculation formula: %Inhibition = (Conversion%_max - Conversion%_sample) / (Conversion%_max - Conversion%_min) × 100%

[0333] Where: Conversion%_sample is the conversion reading of the sample;

[0334] Conversion%_min: Mean value of negative control wells, representing the conversion rate reading of wells without enzyme activity;

[0335] Conversion%_max: The mean of the positive control wells, representing the conversion rate readings of wells without compound inhibition.

[0336] Fitting the dose-effect curve: The log value of the concentration was used as the X-axis and the percentage inhibition rate was used as the Y-axis. The analysis software GraphPad Prism 5 was used to fit the dose-effect curve to obtain the IC value of each compound on the enzyme activity. 50 Value. “++++” means IC 50 ≤10nM; “+++” means 10nM <IC 50 ≤500nM; “++” means 500nM <IC 50 ≤2000nM; “+” indicates 2000nM <IC 50 .

[0341] Test Example 1: Inhibitory effect of the compounds of the present invention on the growth of Ba / F3KIF5B-RET cells

[0342] Ba / F3 KIF5B-RET, Ba / F3 KIF5B-RET-V804M, and Ba / F3 RET-M918T cells in the logarithmic growth phase were harvested and counted using a platelet counter. Cell viability was assessed by trypan blue exclusion to ensure viability was above 90%. The cell concentration was adjusted and 90 μL of the cell suspension was added to each 96-well plate. The cells in the 96-well plate were incubated overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 95% humidity. Each well of the 96-well plate seeded with cells was then incubated with 10 μL of the corresponding drug solution (maximum concentration: 1000 nM) in a gradient of concentrations. Each drug concentration was replicated in triplicate, with a final DMSO concentration of 0.1%. The cells in the drug-treated 96-well plate were incubated for an additional 72 hours at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 95% humidity. After the drug treatment, 100 μL of CellTiter-Glo reagent was added to each well and the cells were shaken on an orbital shaker for 5 minutes to lyse the cells. The cell plate was placed at room temperature for 20 minutes to stabilize the luminescence signal, and then the luminescence value was read. The data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 5.0 software, and the data were fitted using nonlinear S-curve regression to obtain the dose-effect curve, from which the IC was calculated. 50 The results are shown in Table 2. “++++” indicates IC 50 ≤10nM; “+++” means 10nM <IC 50 ≤500nM; “++” means 500nM <IC 50 ≤2000nM; “+” indicates 2000nM <IC 50 .
