[0005] This invention relates to a class of dimethyl-substituted thiazolactam compounds and their use in the preparation of medicaments for treating related diseases. Specifically, it relates to compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Background Technology
[0006] The Ras / Raf / MEK / ERK pathway is a classic mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade pathway that participates in the signal transduction of various growth factors, cytokines, mitogens, and hormone receptors after activation. It is one of the most important signal transduction pathways controlling cell growth, differentiation, and survival.
[0007] Studies have shown that abnormal activation of the Ras / Raf / MEK / ERK pathway caused by mutations or amplifications is a decisive factor in the development of various cancers. In human tumors, the mutation rate of RAS is approximately 22%, BRAF approximately 7%, and MEK approximately 1%. Therefore, key node proteins in this pathway have become important targets for cancer therapy (CancerDiscov. 2019, 9, 329-341). Currently, several BRAF inhibitors and MEK1 / 2 inhibitors, as well as their combination regimens, have been approved by the US FDA for the treatment of melanoma, BRAFV600E-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, and other cancers. However, the use of these upstream node BRAF and MEK inhibitors often leads to rapid drug resistance due to mutations or pathway reactivation, significantly limiting their clinical application.
[0008] Extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERKs), particularly ERK1 and ERK2 kinases, are key participants and downstream nodes in the Ras / Raf / MEK / ERK pathway, and their overactivation is found in many human cancers. As the terminal signaling kinase of this pathway, ERK has not yet exhibited drug resistance mutations. Therefore, drugs targeting ERK kinases hold promise for overcoming drug resistance issues arising from upstream inhibitor therapy, representing a more promising therapeutic strategy. However, to date, research on ERK inhibitors remains in the clinical stage, and no ERK inhibitor has been approved for marketing.
[0009] In conclusion, there is an urgent need to develop safe and effective ERK inhibitor drugs to meet the needs of cancer treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0049] Definitions and Explanations
[0050] Unless otherwise stated, the following terms and phrases as used herein are intended to have the following meanings. A particular term or phrase should not be considered uncertain or unclear unless specifically defined, but should be understood in its ordinary sense. When a trade name appears herein, it is intended to refer to the corresponding product or its active ingredient.
[0051] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” as used herein refers to compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms that, within the bounds of reliable medical judgment, are suitable for use in contact with human and animal tissues without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, or other problems or complications, in proportion to a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0052] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to the salt of the compounds of this invention, prepared by reacting a compound with a relatively non-toxic acid or base, as discovered in this invention, with a specific substituent. When the compounds of this invention contain relatively acidic functional groups, a base addition salt can be obtained by contacting such compounds with a sufficient amount of base in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. When the compounds of this invention contain relatively basic functional groups, an acid addition salt can be obtained by contacting such compounds with a sufficient amount of acid in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. Certain specific compounds of this invention contain both basic and acidic functional groups, and thus can be converted into either a base or an acid addition salt.
[0053] The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from parent compounds containing acid radicals or bases by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts are prepared by reacting these compounds in free acid or base form with a stoichiometric amount of a suitable base or acid in water or an organic solvent or a mixture thereof.
[0054] Unless otherwise stated, the term "isomer" is intended to include geometric isomers, cis-trans isomers, stereo isomers, enantiomers, optical isomers, diastereomers and tautomers.
[0055] The compounds of this invention can exist in specific geometric or stereoisomeric forms. This invention contemplates all such compounds, including cis and trans isomers, (-)- and (+)- enantiomers, (R)- and (S)- enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)- isomers, (L)- isomers, and racemic mixtures thereof, as well as other mixtures, such as mixtures enriched with enantiomers or diastereomers, all of which are within the scope of this invention. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in substituents such as alkyl groups. All such isomers and mixtures thereof are included within the scope of this invention.
[0056] Unless otherwise stated, the terms "enantiomer" or "optical isomer" refer to stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other.
[0057] Unless otherwise stated, the terms "cis-trans isomers" or "geometric isomers" arise because the single bonds of double bonds or cyclic carbon atoms cannot rotate freely.
[0058] Unless otherwise stated, the term "diastereomer" refers to a stereoisomer of a molecule having two or more chiral centers and being in a non-mirror relationship with each other.
[0059] Unless otherwise stated, "(+)" indicates right-handed rotation, "(-)" indicates left-handed rotation, and "(±)" indicates racemic rotation.
[0060] Unless otherwise specified, use wedge-shaped solid line keys. and wedge-shaped dashed key The absolute configuration of the center of a solid is represented by a straight solid line key. and straight dashed key The relative configuration of the center of a solid is indicated by a wavy line. Indicates wedge-shaped solid line key or wedge-shaped dashed key Or use wavy lines Indicates a straight solid line key Or straight dashed key
[0061] Unless otherwise stated, the terms "tautomer" or "tautomer form" refer to isomers with different functional groups in dynamic equilibrium at room temperature, capable of rapidly interconverting into each other. Tautomers can be chemically equilibrated if possible (e.g., in solution). For example, proton tautomers (also called prototropic tautomers) involve interconversions via proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers involve interconversions involving the rearrangement of some bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the interconversion between the tautomers pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one.
[0062] Unless otherwise stated, the terms "rich in one isomer," "isomer enrichment," "rich in one enantiomer," or "enantiomer enrichment" mean that the content of one isomer or enantiomer is less than 100%, and the content of the isomer or enantiomer is greater than or equal to 60%, or greater than or equal to 70%, or greater than or equal to 80%, or greater than or equal to 90%, or greater than or equal to 95%, or greater than or equal to 96%, or greater than or equal to 97%, or greater than or equal to 98%, or greater than or equal to 99%, or greater than or equal to 99.5%, or greater than or equal to 99.6%, or greater than or equal to 99.7%, or greater than or equal to 99.8%, or greater than or equal to 99.9%.
[0063] Unless otherwise stated, the terms "isomer excess" or "enantiomer excess" refer to the difference between the relative percentages of two isomers or two enantiomers. For example, if one isomer or enantiomer is 90% and the other isomer or enantiomer is 10%, then the isomer or enantiomer excess (ee value) is 80%.
[0064] Optically active (R)- and (S)- isomers, as well as D- and L- isomers, can be prepared by chiral synthesis, chiral reagents, or other conventional techniques. To obtain an enantiomer of a compound of the present invention, it can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization with a chiral auxiliary, wherein the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated, and the auxiliary group is cleaved to provide the desired enantiomer in pure form. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as an amino group) or an acidic functional group (such as a carboxyl group), a salt of the diastereomeric isomer is formed with a suitable optically active acid or base, followed by diastereomeric resolution using conventional methods known in the art, and then the pure enantiomer is recovered. Furthermore, the separation of enantiomers and diastereomeric isomers is typically accomplished by using chromatography employing a chiral stationary phase, optionally combined with chemical derivatization (e.g., from amines to carbamates).
[0065] The compounds of this invention may contain atomic isotopes in non-natural proportions on one or more atoms constituting the compound. For example, the compounds may be labeled with radioactive isotopes, such as tritium. 3 H), Iodine-125 125 I) or C-14 14 C). For example, deuterium can be used to replace hydrogen to form deuterated drugs. The bond between deuterium and carbon is stronger than that between ordinary hydrogen and carbon. Compared with undeuterated drugs, deuterated drugs have advantages such as reduced toxicity, increased drug stability, enhanced efficacy, and prolonged drug biological half-life. All isotopic variations of the compounds of this invention, regardless of radioactivity, are included within the scope of this invention.
[0066] The terms “optional” or “optionally” refer to events or conditions that may occur but are not required to occur as described below, and the description includes both cases where said events or conditions occur and cases where said events or conditions do not occur.
[0067] The term "substituted" means that any one or more hydrogen atoms on a particular atom are replaced by a substituent, which can include deuterium and hydrogen variants, provided that the valence state of the particular atom is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is oxygen (i.e., =O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are replaced. Oxygen substitution does not occur on aromatic groups. The term "optionally substituted" means that it may or may not be substituted, unless otherwise specified, and the type and number of substituents can be arbitrary on a chemically feasible basis.
[0068] When any variable (e.g., R) appears more than once in the composition or structure of a compound, its definition is independent in each case. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted by 0-2 Rs, the group can optionally be substituted by at most two Rs, and the Rs in each case have independent options. Furthermore, combinations of substituents and / or their variants are only permitted if such combinations produce a stable compound.
[0069] When the number of a linking group is 0, such as -(CRR)0-, it indicates that the linking group is a single bond.
[0070] When the number of a substituent is 0, it means that the substituent does not exist. For example, -A-(R)0 means that the structure is actually -A.
[0071] When a substituent is vacant, it means that the substituent does not exist. For example, if X is vacant in AX, it means that the structure is actually A.
[0072] When one of the variables is selected as a single bond, it means that the two groups it connects to are directly connected. For example, when L in ALZ represents a single bond, it means that the structure is actually AZ.
[0073] When a substituent can be cross-bonded to two or more atoms on a ring, this substituent can bond with any atom on that ring, for example, structural units. This indicates that the substituent R can be substituted at any position on the cyclohexyl or cyclohexadiene. When the listed substituents do not specify which atom they are attached to the substituted group, such substituents can be bonded to any of their atoms. For example, a pyridyl group as a substituent can be attached to the substituted group through any carbon atom on the pyridine ring.
[0074] When the listed linking groups do not specify their linking direction, the linking direction is arbitrary, for example, The linker group L is -MW-. In this case, -MW- can connect ring A and ring B in the same direction as the reading order from left to right to form a ring. Alternatively, rings A and B can be connected in the opposite direction to the left-to-right reading order to form a ring. The combination of linking groups, substituents, and / or their variants is permitted only if such a combination produces a stable compound.
[0075] Unless otherwise specified, when a group has one or more connectable sites, any one or more sites of that group can be connected to other groups by chemical bonds. When the chemical bond connection is non-directional and the connectable site contains H atoms, the number of H atoms at that site will decrease accordingly with the number of chemical bonds connected, resulting in a group with a corresponding valence. The chemical bonds connecting the site to other groups can be straight solid line bonds. Straight dashed key or wavy line For example, a straight solid line bond in -OCH3 indicates that the oxygen atom in that group is connected to other groups; The straight dashed bond in the diagram indicates that the group is connected to other groups through both ends of the nitrogen atom in the group; The wavy lines in the text indicate that the phenyl group is connected to other groups through the carbon atoms at positions 1 and 2 of the phenyl group. This indicates that any connectable site on the piperidinyl group can be linked to other groups via a single chemical bond, including at least... Even if H atoms are drawn on -N- in these four connection methods, Still includes In this type of linkage, when a chemical bond is attached, the number of hydrogen atoms at that site is reduced by one, resulting in a monovalent piperidinyl group.
[0076] Unless otherwise specified, the number of atoms in a ring is usually defined as the elemental number of the ring. For example, a “5-7 elemental ring” refers to a “ring” with 5-7 atoms arranged around it.
[0077] Unless otherwise specified, the term "C" 1-3 "alkyl" is used to denote a straight-chain or branched saturated hydrocarbon group consisting of 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The C 1-3 Alkyl groups include C 1-2 and C 2-3 Alkyl groups, etc.; they can be monovalent (e.g., methyl), divalent (e.g., methylene), or polyvalent (e.g., methine). C 1-3 Examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (including n-propyl and isopropyl), etc.
[0078] Unless otherwise specified, the term "C" 1-3 "Alkoxy" refers to alkyl groups containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms that are attached to the rest of the molecule by an oxygen atom. The C 1-3 Alkoxy groups include C 1-2 C 2-3 C3 and C2 alkoxy groups, etc. 1-3 Examples of alkoxy groups include, but are not limited to, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy (including n-propoxy and isopropoxy), etc.

Before applying a 5-second +40 mV depolarization stimulus, a 50-millisecond -50 mV pre-voltage was applied, followed by repolarization to -50 mV for 5 seconds, and then back to -80 mV. This voltage stimulus was applied every 15 seconds. After recording for 2 minutes, extracellular fluid was applied for 5 minutes of recording, and then the drug administration process began. The compound concentration started from the lowest test concentration, and each test concentration was administered for 2.5 minutes. After all concentrations were administered, the positive control compound 3MCisapride was administered. At least 3 cells were tested for each concentration (n≥3).

Then, 80 μL of each of the six intermediate concentrations was added to 320 μL of extracellular fluid and diluted 5-fold to the final concentration to be tested. The highest test concentration was 40 μM, with subsequent concentrations of 40, 13.3, 4.4, 1.48, 0.494, and 0.165 μM. The DMSO content in the final test concentration did not exceed 0.2%, as this concentration of DMSO has no effect on the hERG potassium channel.
