Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to deuterated aminopyridine derivatives and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. Background Art

[0002] B cell signaling through the B cell receptor (BCR) can generate a wide range of biological output signals. Abnormal BCR-mediated signal transduction can result in dysregulated B cell activation and / or formation of pathogenic autoantibodies that lead to various autoimmune and / or inflammatory diseases. Mutations in BTK in humans result in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) (Conley et al., Annu. Rev. Immunol. 27:199-227, 2009). This disease is associated with impaired B cell maturation, reduced immunoglobulin production, impaired T cell-independent immune responses, and a marked attenuation of sustained calcium signaling upon BCR stimulation. Evidence for the role of BTK in allergic and / or autoimmune and / or inflammatory diseases has been established in BTK-deficient mouse models.

[0003] Due to the role of BTK in B cell activation, BTK inhibitors can be used as inhibitors of B cell-mediated pathogenic activities (such as autoantibody production). BTK is also expressed in osteoclasts, mast cells, and monocytes, and has been shown to be important for the function of these cells.

[0004] Therefore, inhibition of BTK activity can be used to treat allergic and / or autoimmune and / or inflammatory diseases, such as: rheumatoid arthritis, polyangiitis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), myasthenia gravis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma (Di Paolo et al. (2011) Nature Chem. Biol. 7(1):41-50; Liu et al. (2011) Jour. of Pharm. and Exper. Ther. 338(1):154-163).

[0005] In addition, the abnormal activation of BTK plays an important role in the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphoma, which means that inhibiting BTK is useful in the treatment of hematological malignancies (Davis et al., Nature 463:88-92, 2010). Since BTK plays a central role as a mediator in multiple signal transduction pathways, inhibiting BTK activity can be anti-inflammatory and / or anti-cancer, and is used for cancer and the treatment of B-cell lymphoma, leukemia, and other hematological malignancies (Mohamed et al., Immunol. Rev. 228:58-73, 2009; Pan, Drug News perspect 21: 357-362, 2008; Rokosz et al., Expert Opin. Ther. Targets 12:883-903, 2008; Uckun et al., Anti-cancer Agents Med. Chem. 7:624-632, 2007; Lou et al., J. Med. Chem. 55(10):4539-4550, 2012).

[0006] Moreover, considering the role of BTK in osteoclast function, inhibiting BTK activity can be used for the treatment of bone diseases, such as osteoporosis. Therefore, compounds with BTK inhibitory activity are useful for the treatment of diseases related to B cells and / or mast cells, such as allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, thromboembolic diseases, cancer, etc. (Uckun et al. (2007) Anticancer Agents in Medicinal Chemistry. 7(6):624-632).

[0007] Tolebrutinib (SAR442168, PRN2246) is an effective, selective, orally active, and blood-brain barrier-permeable Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, a investigational brain-penetrant Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, and the first drug to complete a proof-of-concept study of BTK inhibitor for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), which can produce the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration required to target microglia and B lymphocytes, and is undergoing clinical phase III trials for multiple sclerosis (MS) and myasthenia gravis (MG). However, drug-induced liver injury cases have occurred in patients with Tolebrutinib, and the US FDA has suspended some of its clinical trials. Improving the pharmacokinetic behavior of Tolebrutinib, such as the absorption and / or distribution and / or metabolism and / or excretion of Tolebrutinib, may be an effective way to reduce the toxicity of Tolebrutinib.

[0008] The human elimination half-life T1 / 2 of tolebrutinib is between 1.39 and 2.18 hours, and the elimination is rapid (Owens TD et al. Clin Transl Sci. 2022;15:442–450). This indicates that a relatively large dose is required to maintain a good therapeutic effect, but this inevitably brings a greater risk of toxicity. In addition, the short half-life and rapid elimination of tolebrutinib also to a certain extent suggest that the metabolism of tolebrutinib may be relatively fast, and these metabolites may also increase the risk of toxicity.

[0009] The suboptimal absorption, distribution, metabolism, and / or excretion (ADME) properties of some current drugs hinder their wider use or limit their application in specific indications. For example, due to the short elimination half-life and rapid clearance of drugs in the body, the commonly adopted solution is to administer the drug frequently or at a high dose to achieve a sufficiently high plasma drug level. However, this introduces a number of potential therapeutic problems, such as patient compliance with the dosing interval, and with higher-dose administration, side effects will be more severe, and the treatment cost is increased. Drugs with rapid metabolism may also expose patients to unwanted toxic or reactive metabolites.

[0010] Another ADME limitation affecting drugs is the formation of toxic or biologically reactive metabolites. Thus, some patients receiving the drug may experience toxicity, or the safe dose of such a drug may be limited such that the patient receives a suboptimal amount of treatment. In some cases, changing the dosing interval or formulation method may help reduce clinical adverse reactions, but the frequent formation of such unwanted metabolites is inherent in the metabolism of the compound.

[0011] A potentially attractive strategy for improving drug metabolic properties is deuterium modification. In this approach, one attempts to slow down the metabolism of the drug or reduce the formation of unwanted metabolites by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with deuterium atoms. Deuterium is a safe, stable, non-radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Compared with hydrogen, deuterium forms stronger chemical bonds with carbon. In selected cases, the increased bond strength conferred by deuterium can positively affect the ADME properties of the drug, with the potential to improve efficacy, safety, and / or tolerability. At the same time, since the size and shape of deuterium are essentially equivalent to those of hydrogen, replacing hydrogen with deuterium is expected not to affect the biochemical potency and selectivity of the drug compared to the original chemical entity containing only hydrogen.

[0012] However, due to the complex metabolic processes of biological systems, the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs in vivo are affected by various factors and exhibit corresponding complexity. Compared with the corresponding non-deuterated drugs, the changes in the pharmacokinetic properties of deuterated drugs show great contingency and unpredictability. For some compounds, deuteration slows down their metabolic clearance in vivo and increases the half-life; for other compounds, deuteration does not cause metabolic changes; for still other compounds, deuteration accelerates metabolic clearance and shortens the half-life (Blake, MI et al, J Pharm Sci, 1975, 64: 367-91; Foster, AB, Adv Drug Res 1985, 14:1-40("Foster"); Kushner, DJ et al, Can J Physiol Pharmacol 1999, 79-88; Fisher, MB et al, Curr Opin Drug Discov Devel, 2006, 9:101-09("Fisher")).

[0013] Therefore, deuteration at certain sites of a compound may not only fail to increase the half-life but may even shorten it (Scott L. Harbeson, Roger D. Tung. Deuterium in Drug Discovery and Development, P405-406), deteriorating its pharmacokinetic properties; on the other hand, hydrogen at certain positions on the drug molecule is not easily deuterated due to reasons such as steric hindrance.

[0014] Even when deuterium atoms are incorporated into known metabolic sites, the effect of deuterium modification (deuterium modification) on drug metabolism is not predictable. Only by actually preparing and testing deuterated drugs can it be determined whether and how the metabolic rate will differ from that of the corresponding non-deuterated chemical entity. Many drugs have multiple sites where metabolism may occur. The positions (sites) that need to be deuterium-substituted and the degree of deuteration required to find an impact on metabolism, if any, will be different for each drug (Fukuto et al. J. Med. Chem. 1991, 34, 2871-76).

[0015] In addition, deuteration can lead to metabolic switching. The concept of metabolic switching suggests that when a drug is surrounded by phase I metabolic enzymes, it can transiently bind and rebind to the phase I metabolic enzymes in various conformations prior to a chemical reaction (such as an oxidation reaction). Therefore, metabolic switching can potentially result in different proportions of known metabolites as well as new metabolites. This new metabolic property can cause more or less toxicity and lead to a faster or slower drug clearance rate, thereby reducing or increasing the in vivo exposure of the drug. The changes caused by metabolic switching are unpredictable, and no sufficient a priori prediction has been achieved for any drug to date.

[0016] As mentioned above, the effect of deuterium modification (deuterium modification) on the metabolism of drugs is unpredictable. Tolebrutinib and its in vivo metabolites have the defect of hepatotoxicity risk, and the clinical trials of tolebrutinib have also shown hepatotoxicity, causing great clinical concern. Hepatotoxicity is not only related to the chemical structure but also closely related to the clinical administration dose.

[0017] Therefore, aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, we design new compounds to increase the in vivo exposure of the new compounds, reduce the dosage and / or frequency of medication, and reduce hepatotoxicity; and / or through structural modification, reduce the hepatotoxicity of its prototype or metabolites, or reduce the generation of toxic metabolites, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing toxicity and enhancing efficacy.

[0137] Example 23: Pharmacokinetic Evaluation in Rats

[0138] Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats, 7 - 8 weeks old and weighing about 210 g, were divided into 8 groups (Tolebrutinib group, compound T101 group, compound T104 group, compound T105 group, compound T106 group, compound T107 group, compound T109 group and compound T112 group), with 6 rats in each group.

[0139] The rats were fed with standard feed and fasted 12 hours before dosing. The dosing solution was prepared with 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na). Blood was collected from the orbital venous plexus at the time points of 0.25 hour, 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours and 24 hours after dosing.

[0140] After blood sampling, place it in a centrifuge tube coated with heparin sodium solution, gently invert the blood collection tube at least 5 times immediately, ensure thorough mixing, and then place it on ice. Centrifuge the blood sample at 5000 revolutions per minute for 5 minutes at 4 °C to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. Use a pipette to aspirate 100 μL of plasma into a clean plastic centrifuge tube, and label the sample number and blood collection time point.

[0143] Example 24: Determination of BTK Inhibitory Activity

[0144] The ADP-Glo™ kit was used to determine the effect of the compounds of the present invention on the activity of BTK. The experimental method is as follows:

[0145] ADP is the product of the kinase reaction, and the kinase activity can usually be detected by measuring the amount of ADP generated. The ADP-Glo™ kit developed by Promega Corporation measures the in vitro activity of BTK by detecting the level of ADP generated in the kinase reaction. In the kinase assay, the kinase consumes ATP to phosphorylate the substrate, generating ADP at the same time. Then, the ADP-Glo reagent is added to terminate the kinase reaction and completely consume the remaining ATP. Next, the kinase detection reagent is added to convert the generated ADP into new ATP. The luciferase in the detection reagent can catalyze luciferin in the presence of ATP and O2 to produce a light signal, thus converting the chemical signal into a light signal. The intensity of the light signal is positively correlated with the amount of ADP generated in the kinase reaction, enabling the quantitative detection of the activity of the kinase BTK.

[0146] All detection experiments were carried out at a constant room temperature of 23 °C. A Corning 3674 white 384-well detection plate, the kinase BTK (Invitrogen), the kinase substrate being the polypeptide (4:1 Glu, Tyr) (Signal Chem) and ATP (Sigma), and an EnVision microplate reader (Perkin Elmer) were used to read the light signal. The detection buffer included 40 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2 (Sigma), 2 mM MnCl2 (Sigma), 0.05 mM DTT (Sigma), and 0.01% BSA (Sigma); the kinase BTK was prepared as a kinase reaction solution with a concentration of 1.3 ng / μL using the detection buffer; the substrate reaction solution included 0.25 mg / mL polypeptide substrate and 60 μM ATP.

[0147] The compounds of the present invention were diluted with DMSO to a solution of 0.5 mM, and then serially diluted three-fold with DMSO to a minimum concentration of 0.025 μM. 50 nL of the compound solution with a series of concentrations and 2.5 μL of the kinase reaction solution were first added to the 384-well plate using an Echo555. After mixing evenly, the mixture was incubated at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes; then 2.5 μL of the substrate reaction solution was added, and the total reaction volume was 5.05 μL. The reaction mixture was reacted at room temperature in the dark for 60 minutes; then 5 μL of the ADP-Glo™ reagent was added to terminate the reaction. After mixing evenly, the mixture was placed at room temperature for 40 minutes; finally, 10 μL of the kinase detection reagent was added, and the mixture was placed at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes, and then the value was read on the Envision.

[0148] The inhibition percentage is calculated according to the following formula:

[0149] Inhibition % = [1 - (RLU 化合物 - RLU min ) / (RLU max - RLU min )] × 100

[0150] Where RLU 化合物 is the reading at a given concentration of the compound of the present invention, RLU min is the reading without adding the kinase BTK, and RLU max is the reading without adding the compound of the present invention. The IC 50 value of the compound is calculated by using the XLfit program in Excel.

[0151] Table 1: IC 50 values of the compounds of the present invention

[0152] Table 1: IC 50 values of the compounds of the present invention

[0153]

[0154] From these results, it can be seen that the compounds of the present invention have a significant inhibitory effect on BTK.

[0155] Example 25: Comparative Study of Mouse Hepatotoxicity

[0156] (1) Experimental animals

[0157] Thirty-two adult male ICR mice, weighing (25 ± 2 g), were selected. All mice were allowed free access to food, water and maintenance feed, and were kept under a day-night cycle at a temperature of 25 ± 2 °C and a relative humidity of 50 ± 10%.

[0158] (2) Animal grouping and drug administration

[0159] Thirty-two male ICR mice were divided into four groups of 8 mice each, namely a normal control group, a model group, a model + example compound group, and a model + Tolebrutinib group. In the model + example compound group, the example compound was administered by gavage once a day at a dose of (50 mg / kg); in the model + Tolebrutinib group, Tolebrutinib was administered by gavage once a day at a dose of (50 mg / kg), for 8 - 16 weeks respectively. The normal control group and the model group were respectively gavaged with an equal volume of pure water. After the last administration, food was withheld. One hour later, mice in the model group, the model + example compound group, and the model + Tolebrutinib group were intraperitoneally injected once with an APAP saline solution at a dose of 250 mg / kg. Twenty-four hours after modeling, blood was collected from the eyes of mice in each group in turn. The serum was separated by centrifugation at 3000 r / min for 10 min and stored at 4°C for later use; the liver and spleen were quickly dissected. After rinsing with normal saline at 4°C and blotting dry with filter paper, they were weighed. A part of the liver was fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution for sectioning, and the remaining liver was stored in a -80°C low-temperature refrigerator.

[0160] (3) Determination of biochemical indexes in the liver:

[0161] A part of the liver was weighed, and 9 times the volume of ice-cold normal saline was added. A 10% liver tissue homogenate was prepared using a tissue homogenizer, and the supernatant was obtained by centrifugation. The OD value was measured at 450 nm by spotting on a plate according to the kit method, and the content of MDA and the activity of GSH in the liver were calculated according to the formula.

[0162] (4) Data processing

[0163] Experimental data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (±s), and analyzed using SPSS 22.0 statistical software. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the differences between groups. P < 0.05 was considered a significant difference.

[0164] (5) Effect of the example compound of the present application on lipid peroxidation of liver tissue in APAP-induced liver injury mice

[0165] Compared with the normal control group, the content of MDA in the liver tissue homogenate of the model group mice increased significantly, and the level of GSH decreased significantly (P<0.05), resulting in the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products in the mice and the reduction of the antioxidant metabolism level; compared with the model group, there were no significant changes in the MDA content and GSH level in the model + example compound group (P>0.05); compared with the model group, the MDA content in the model + Tolebrutinib group increased significantly (P<0.05), and the GSH level decreased significantly (P<0.05), indicating that the example compound (50 mg / kg) of the present application had no obvious effect on the lipid peroxidation induced by APAP, while Tolebrutinib (50 mg / kg) had an effect on the lipid peroxidation induced by APAP, suggesting that the liver toxicity of the example compound of the present application in mice was less than that of Tolebrutinib. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0166] Table 2. Effects on lipid peroxidation in liver tissue of APAP-induced liver injury mice

[0167]

[0168] Annotation (grade): A+ is 2.6 - 3.7; A- is 0.9 - 2.4; A++ is 3.9 - 4.7; B+ is 29 - 38; B- is 40 - 57; B++ is 13 - 27.

[0169] Conclusion: The example compound (50 mg / kg) of the present application has no obvious effect on the lipid peroxidation induced by APAP, while Tolebrutinib (50 mg / kg) has an effect on the lipid peroxidation induced by APAP, suggesting that the liver toxicity of the example compound of the present application in mice is less than that of Tolebrutinib.
