Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese patent application with application number 202180079749.8 (application date: November 1, 2021, invention name: Bicyclic compounds for treating diseases and their uses).

[0002] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0003] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 108,660, filed on November 2, 2020, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0004] The present disclosure generally relates to compounds, compositions, and methods of making and using the same for treating diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases. Background Art

[0005] Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic protein factor involved in multiple biological processes including embryonic and organ development, regeneration and inflammation. HGF is a key contributing factor to the development and maturation of cortical, motor, sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. HGF is translated and secreted as an inactive pro-HGF, but after cleavage, the α and β-subunits produced are joined by disulfide bonds to form active heterodimers. The expression of HGF mainly occurs in interstitial cells, such as fibroblasts, chondroblasts, adipocytes and endothelium. Expression has also been confirmed in the central nervous system (CNS) including neurons, astrocytes and ependymal cells (Nakamura and Mizuno, 2010). All biological activities of HGF are mediated by MET, which is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that serves as the only known receptor of HGF. It is known that MET is involved in various biological processes and has a proven role in development, regeneration and response to injury. After HGF binds to the extracellular domain of MET, the homodimerization of MET protein causes autophosphorylation of the intracellular domain. Phosphorylation of the intracellular domain of MET leads to the recruitment and phosphorylation of various effector proteins including Gab1, GRB2, phospholipase C and Stat3 (Gherardi et al., 2012; Organ and Tsao, 2011). These effector proteins then interact with downstream signal transduction pathways including PI3K / Akt, Ras / Raf / MAPK, RAC1 / CDC42, RAP / FAK, etc. to affect a series of cellular components, including gene regulation, cytoskeletal rearrangement, cell cycle progression, cell adhesion, survival and proliferation (Organ and Tsao, 2011).

[0006] Because HGF has a demonstrated role in development (Nakamura et al., 2011), homeostasis (Funakoshi and Nakamura, 2003), inhibition of cell death and regeneration (Matsumoto et al., 2014), stimulation of the HGF / MET signaling system is an ideal target for therapies for a range of disease states. Therapies involving modulation of HGF activity have been proposed for diseases and injuries in many different tissue types including liver, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular components, lung, skin, nervous system and muscle tissue (Matsumoto et al., 2014). However, highly effective compounds suitable for modulating HGF / MET signaling activity remain to be explored and discovered.

[0007] Despite the advances that have been made in the art, there remains a need for improved compounds and methods for treating diseases modulated by HGF. Accordingly, in one aspect, provided herein are HGF-modulating compounds for use in treating a neurodegenerative disease. Summary of the invention

Certain isotopically labeled compounds of formula (I) (e.g., those incorporating a radioisotope) are useful in drug and / or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioisotope tritium (i.e. 3 H) and carbon-14 (i.e. 14 C) is particularly suitable for this purpose due to its ease of incorporation and ready means of detection.

[0133] Deuterium (i.e. 2 Substitution of heavier isotopes may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances.

[0134] Through such 11 C. 18 F. 15 O and 13 Positron emitting isotope substitution of N may be useful in positron emission tomography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically labeled compounds of formula (I) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by methods analogous to the methods described in the Examples set forth below, using an appropriate isotopically labeled reagent in place of the unlabeled reagent previously employed.

[0135] Certain embodiments are also intended to encompass in vivo metabolites of the disclosed compounds. Such products may be produced, for example, by oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, esterification, etc. of the administered compound, which is primarily due to enzymatic processes. Therefore, embodiments include compounds produced by methods including administering a compound of the present disclosure to a mammal for a period of time sufficient to produce its metabolites. Such products are typically administered to an animal (such as a rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey) or to a human of a detectable dose of a radiolabeled compound of the present disclosure, allowing metabolism to proceed for a sufficient time and separating its conversion products from urine, blood, or other biological samples for identification.

[0136] "Stable compound" and "stable structure" are intended to indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.

[0137] Typically crystallization produces a solvate of the disclosed compounds. As used herein, the term "solvate" refers to an aggregate comprising one or more molecules of the compound of formula (I) and one or more solvent molecules. In some embodiments, the solvent is water, in which case the solvate is a hydrate. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the solvent is an organic solvent. Therefore, the compound of formula (I) can exist as a hydrate, including a monohydrate, a dihydrate, a hemihydrate, a sesquihydrate, a trihydrate, a tetrahydrate, etc., and corresponding solvated forms. In some aspects, the compound of formula (I) is a true solvate, while in other cases, the disclosed compounds only retain exogenous water or are a mixture of water plus some exogenous solvents.

For example, "optionally substituted aryl" means that the aryl may be substituted or may not be substituted and the description includes both substituted aryl and aryl without substitution. Polymers or similar infinite structures obtained by defining substituents with other substituents attached infinitely (for example, substituted aryl with substituted alkyl, the substituted alkyl itself is substituted by substituted aryl, the substituted aryl is further substituted by substituted heteroalkyl, etc.) are not intended to be included in this article. Similarly, the above definition is not intended to include unallowed substitution patterns (for example, methyl substituted with 5 fluorines or heteroaryl with two adjacent oxygen ring atoms). Such unallowed substitution patterns are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0139] "Pharmaceutical composition" or "pharmaceutically acceptable composition" refers to a preparation of a compound of the present disclosure and a medium generally accepted in the art for delivering biologically active compounds to mammals (e.g., humans). Such a medium includes all pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients thereof.

[0141] The compounds of formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or isotopic forms thereof may contain one or more centers causing geometric asymmetry and may thus provide enantiomers, diastereomers and other stereoisomeric forms defined as (R)- or (S)- or as (D)- or (L)- for amino acids in terms of absolute stereochemistry. Embodiments therefore include all such possible isomers, as well as racemic and optically pure forms thereof. Optically active (+) and (-), (R)- and (S)- or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques (e.g., chromatography and fractional crystallization). Conventional techniques for preparing / separating individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from suitable optically pure precursors or resolution of racemates (or racemates of salts or derivatives) using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.

[0142] "Stereoisomers" refer to compounds made up of the same atoms bonded by the same bonds but with different three-dimensional structures that are not interchangeable. The present disclosure encompasses various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof and includes "enantiomers," which refer to two stereoisomers whose molecules are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

[0143] "Diastereoisomers" are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other.

[0144] "Tautomer" refers to a proton shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule. Embodiments therefore include tautomers of the disclosed compounds.

[0145] The chemical naming schemes and structure diagrams used herein are modified forms of the IUPAC nomenclature system, which use ACD / named version 9.07 software program and / or ChemDraw Ultra version 11.0.1 software naming program (CambridgeSoft). For the complex chemical names used herein, the substituent is usually named before the group to which it is attached. For example, cyclopropylethyl includes an ethyl backbone with a cyclopropyl substituent. Unless described below, all bonds are identified in the chemical structure diagrams herein, except for all bonds on some carbon atoms, assuming that they are bonded to enough hydrogen atoms to complete the valence.

[0146] Although various features of the invention may be described in the context of a single embodiment, the features may also be provided separately or in any suitable combination. Conversely, although for clarity the invention may be described herein in the context of separate embodiments, the invention may also be implemented in a single embodiment.

[0552] Example B1. PhosphoMET ELISA.

[0553] Compounds were screened for potency on the HGF / MET system using the phosphorylated MET (pMET) ELISA kit (Cell Signaling).pMET levels were detected in samples with low (1 ng / mL) and high (10 ng / mL) concentrations of HGF.

[0554] The cells were cultured by passage into 6-well multiplates and maintained at 37°C, 5% CO 2 HEK293 cells were prepared by growing in DMEM + 10% FBS until approximately 90% confluence. Cells were then starved in serum-free growth medium for at least 8 hours.

[0555] Exemplary compounds were prepared in DMEM + 0.1% FBS, diluted and added to treatment medium with 1 ng / mL recombinant HGF protein (R&D Systems). Cells were maintained at 37°C and 5% CO. 2 Next, incubate in triplicate for 15 minutes. Then treat the sample with 180 μL ice-cold RIPA (radioimmunoprecipitation assay) buffer and lyse the cells on ice for 15 minutes. Remove the lysate and retain the supernatant by centrifugation at 16,000-g for 15 minutes. Use the BCA assay of the lysate to normalize the sample to determine the protein concentration in the sample.

[0556] 50 to 100 μg of total protein lysate was loaded into the ELISA wells in the pMET sandwich ELISA kit (Cell Signaling catalog number 7227C) to ensure equal protein loading in each well. The ELISA was processed according to the manufacturer's instructions. After color development, the absorbance was read at 450 nm on an optical plate reader.

[0557] Peak efficacy was used to determine potency measurements by scaling test compound dose treatments along a scale of 1 to 10 between 1 ng / mL and 10 ng / mL HGF doses according to the following formula:

[0558] y=1+(xA)*(10-1) / (BA)

[0559] Where y is the normalized data point, x is the original data point, A is the average HGF at 1 ng / mL, and B is the average HGF at 10 ng / mL. The results of the calculated potency are shown in Table 2.

[0567] Example B2. Cell scattering behavior assay.

[0568] MDCK cells are grown under normal conditions and observed to form a tight colony spontaneously when it propagates. MDCK cells are reacted to the HGF processing by moving away from each other (dispersion), and it is quantitatively evaluated to assess the amount of HGF / MET activation in the cell colony. In this experiment, MDCK cells are plated with 96 well formats, with HGF and exemplary compound processing, through fluorescent staining, large visual field imaging, and quantitative dispersion behavior. Determine quantitative results by analyzing the number (normalized particle count) of the continuous groups of the cell compared with the total staining area imaged.

[0569] MDCK cells were plated at low density in black wall imaging plates and maintained at 37 °C and 5% CO. 2 The cells were attached overnight in DMEM + 10% FBS at 37 ° C. The cells were then starved for 2 hours in DMEM without FBS ("starvation medium"). Samples containing exemplary compounds were prepared in DMEM without FBS and included 5 ng / mL HGF protein ("treatment medium"). A control curve was also made for each plate using HGF concentrations of 0, 5, 10 and 20 ng / mL. The starvation medium was replaced by the treatment medium and the cells were incubated at 37 ° C. and 5% CO.2 Incubate for 24 hours.

[0570] After incubation, the cells were fixed by replacing the treatment medium with cold ethanol and incubating at 4°C for 20 minutes. The cells were then rehydrated by washing with PBS and then with a staining solution (fluorescent wheat germ agglutinin; PBS containing 20 μg / mL WGA488). The cells were incubated with the staining solution at room temperature for 30 minutes, after which the staining solution was replaced with fresh PBS.

[0571] Use iCyte high content imager to image the cell area in green wavelength.Image is converted into binary and analyzes the particle diameter and particle count of image.For the purpose of analysis, individual cells or independent cell colonies that do not contact other cells are identified as particles, and the particle count is normalized to consider the difference in cell number by total signal area.The increase of particle number indicates that individual cells move away from each other with dispersed behavior reaction.Compound efficacy is assessed by the statistical increase in the normalized particle count compared with independent HGF processing.The results are shown in Table 3.

[0580] Example B3. Solubility determination.

[0581] Aqueous solubility is a key drug property that helps predict bioavailability. In general, compounds with an aqueous solubility <100 μg / ml are poor drugs. To assess compound solubility, turbidimetric solubility assays were performed with exemplary compounds at concentrations ranging from 3 to 300 μM.

[0582] To assess the solubility of the compounds by turbidity, the test compound was first dissolved in an organic solvent (DMSO) at a concentration of 10 mM. This compound solution was then diluted in an aqueous solvent (PBS) in a 96-well assay plate in a dilution series from 3 to 300 μM. The solution was incubated at 37° C. for 2 hours.

[0583] In wells where the test compound exceeds its solubility limit, the compound will precipitate, effectively blocking light from passing through and thus increasing the absorbance signal of UV light at a wavelength of 620 nm. If turbidity increases the absorbance by more than 10% over the control reading, the compound is considered to be insoluble at the test concentration. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0591] Example B4. Permeability determination.

[0592] To be bioavailable, a drug must permeate the cell membranes lining the digestive tract. To estimate the permeation rate of exemplary compounds, an in vitro parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA) was utilized.

[0593] Test compounds must have a standard curve in the final read plate to determine the partitioned concentration of each drug. A 6 point standard curve was prepared for each compound from 0 to 200 μM in phosphate buffered saline (PBS).

[0594] The test compound solution (300 μL in PBS) was added to the donor (bottom) wells of the PAMPA plate in 5 replicates, and PBS vehicle (200 μL) was added to the acceptor (top) wells of the appropriate wells to match the loading of the donor plate. The bottom and top of the PAMPA plate were then clamped together. The PAMPA plate was then incubated for 5 hours at room temperature. After incubation, 150 μL of the donor solution was added to the UV compatible plate containing the corresponding standard curve. 150 μL of the acceptor well solution was added near the corresponding standard curve of the compound and the donor well sample. The plate was then read using a UV plate reader.

[0595] The permeability and membrane retention were then calculated based on the following formula:

[0596] Permeability (cm / s): (Pe)(cm / s) = {-ln[1-CA(t) / Ceq]} / [A*(1 / VD+

[0597] 1 / VA)*t]

[0598] (Equation 1)

[0599] in:

[0600] A = filtration area (0.3 cm 2 );

[0601] VD = donor pore volume (0.3 mL);

[0602] VA = acceptor pore volume (0.2 mL);

[0603] t = incubation time (seconds);

[0604] CA(t) = concentration of compound in the receptor well at time t;

[0605] CD(t) = compound concentration in the donor well at time t; and Ceq = [CD(t)*VD+CA(t)*VA] / (VD+VA).

[0606] Membrane retention rate (R) = 1-[CD(t)*VD+CA(t)*VA] / (C0*VD)

Treatments were performed in complete medium (EMEM + 10% FBS) and included a dilution series of test compounds ranging from 0.1 to 100 μM. The known cytotoxin cerivastatin was used as a positive assay control and was prepared at a final concentration of 0.5 μM.

[0621] The growth medium is replaced by treatment medium (EMEM + 10% FBS containing the test compound dissolved in DMSO) and the cells are incubated with the test compound for 48 hours. At the end of the incubation period, the supernatant medium from each well is transferred to a new plate and the LDH assay working solution is added. The LDH assay solution undergoes a colorimetric reaction proportional to the amount of lactate dehydrogenase (an intracellular protein found in the culture medium only in the presence of lysed cells) in the culture medium. The color reaction is quantified by measuring the absorbance at a wavelength of 490nm.

[0622] The signal range of the assay was determined by complete lysis of all cells in the negative control treatment without manipulation and lysis control samples. In this assay, compounds that increased the level of cytotoxicity by more than 20% over the negative control sample were considered cytotoxic. The results are shown in Table 6.

[0631] Example B6. In vitro stability analysis.

[0632] Bioavailability can be estimated by compound stability when exposed to in vivo pathologies. As an initial assessment of stability properties for various pathologies present in animals, the stability of exemplary compounds was tested in a panel of simulated body compartments. The stability of the compounds was tested in the following solutions: simulated gastric fluid (SGF: 34.2 mM NaCl, pH 1.2), simulated gastric fluid with the digestive enzyme pepsin (SGF + enzyme: SGF with 3.2 mg / ml pepsin), simulated intestinal fluid with an enzyme mixture from porcine pancreatic enzymes (SIF + enzyme: 28.7 mM NaH 2 PO 4 , 105.7 mM NaCl, pH 6.8, 10 mg / ml pancreatin), rat plasma and human plasma.

[0633] The test compounds were incubated at 37°C in the above solutions at a final concentration of 5 μM, with samples removed at the following time points: 0, 1, 2, and 4 hours. The reaction was stopped and prepared for quantification by adding an excess quenching solution containing an internal standard (acetonitrile, 200 ng / mL bucetin). The test compound and internal standard in each sample were quantified by LC-MS / MS, and after internal normalization to bucetin, the test compound concentration was expressed as a percentage of the concentration at the 0 hour time point. The stability in the relevant test solution was then determined by the remaining percentage at the 4 hour time point. The results are shown in Table 7.

[0641] Example B7. In vivo pharmacokinetics.

[0642] Exemplary compounds are administered via selected routes, and then the compound in blood collection and plasma is quantitatively used to measure the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of the compound. By dissolving the test compound in DMSO and then diluting the compound to an appropriate vehicle (saline or saline and polyethylene glycol), the compound is administered to at least 250 grams of mixed sex Sprague-Dawley rats. Administration is completed by tail vein puncture (IV) or oral gavage (PO), and the compound is administered to the animal according to its body weight with 1mL / kg. At the selected interval (10, 20, 40, 60, 120 and 360 minutes) after administration, blood is collected by bleeding from the tail vein. Whole blood is then centrifuged to produce plasma. The compound content in the quantitative plasma sample of LC-MS / MS is compared with internal standards and standard curves to accurately determine concentration.

[0643] Then the plasma concentration at each time point was averaged and plotted as a function of time. The area under the curve was calculated by integration of the curve, Cmax was the highest concentration reached in plasma, and Tmax was determined by the timing of Cmax. The results are shown in Table 8.

[0650] Example B8. Oral availability calculation.

[0651] Oral bioavailability is crucial for developing small molecule therapies for oral administration. The calculation of oral bioavailability (%F) was completed by comparing the in vivo pharmacokinetic data (Example B7), using IV administration as the maximum possible exposure, and determining the exposure rate after PO administration. In these studies, the AUC from the dose correction of PO administration was divided by the AUC from the dose correction of IV administration and multiplied by 100 to produce %F. The results are shown in Table 9.

Test compounds were delivered via tail vein injection (IV) and tissues were collected at Tmax (10 minutes after administration). Animals were deeply anesthetized with isoflurane and whole blood was collected from the right atrium and centrifuged to produce plasma. The animals were then fully perfused with PBS administered to the left ventricle to prevent blood contamination of the tissue.

[0678] Tissues were collected and homogenized, and the compound content in the target tissue was quantified by LC-MS / MS. The tissue distribution rate was determined by dividing the tissue concentration of the compound by the plasma concentration and multiplying by 100. The results are shown in Table 11.

[0686] Example B11. In vivo efficacy: Scopolamine-induced spatial memory deficits in the Morris Water Maze.

[0687] Exemplary compounds 2a and 6a were evaluated for their ability to reverse chemically induced spatial memory deficits in rats in the Morris water maze. The water maze consists of a large circular pool (2.1 m in diameter) filled with 26 to 28 ° C water at a depth of about 30 cm, and the water is made turbid with white paint. A circular platform (13 cm in diameter) is fixed so that it is located 2 to 3 cm below the water surface. High contrast visual cues are placed around the pool to help test the spatial orientation of the animal. The test consists of placing the animal in the water facing the pool wall at one of three arbitrarily specified starting positions and allowing the animal to swim and find a hidden platform for up to 120 seconds. The time consumed by locating the animal to the platform is recorded as escape latency. Animals are tested 5 times a day, with a 30-second rest period between trials. A total of 8 consecutive days complete the test.

[0688] Animals were divided into groups (N=8 / group) depending on the treatment. Control animals received only empty vehicle. The scopolamine group received 3 mg / kg scopolamine dissolved in sterile saline by intraperitoneal (IP) injection 30 minutes before the test. The test compound group received various concentrations of test compounds dissolved in 48% sterile saline, 50% polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) and 2% DMSO by oral gavage (PO) 40 minutes before the test. The escape latency of each animal tested 5 times a day was recorded for 8 consecutive days. The changes in the escape latency curve were statistically analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Bonferoni post-test. The results are shown in Table 12.

[0689] Exemplary compound 1a was evaluated for its ability to reverse chemically induced spatial memory deficits in rats in the Morris water maze. The water maze consists of a large circular pool (1.5 m in diameter) filled with 23 to 26 ° C water at a depth of about 30 cm, and the water is made turbid with white paint. The circular platform is fixed so that it is located 2 to 3 cm below the water surface. High contrast visual cues are placed around the pool to help test the spatial orientation of the animal. The test consists of placing the animal in the water facing the pool wall at one of three arbitrarily specified starting positions and allowing the animal to swim and find a hidden platform for up to 90 seconds. The time consumed by locating the animal to the platform is recorded as the escape latency. The animal is tested 5 times a day, with a 30-second rest period between trials. A total of 5 consecutive days to complete the test.

[0690] Animals were divided into groups (N=12 / group) depending on the treatment. Control animals received only empty vehicle.
