Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with the application date of January 20, 2020, application number 202080011241.X, and invention name “Immunomodulators, compositions and methods thereof”. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to compounds that are inhibitors of the PD-1 / PD-L1 protein / protein interaction. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and to the use of the compounds in treating cancer, precancerous syndromes, and other diseases associated with inhibition of the PD-1 / PD-L1 protein / protein interaction. Background Art

[0003] Cancer immunotherapy has been increasingly used to treat advanced malignancies. The immune checkpoint signaling network has garnered widespread attention. Some cancers are extremely refractory to conventional chemotherapy. In certain cases, tumor survival can be assisted by checkpoint immunomodulation, maintaining the imbalance between immune surveillance and cancer cell proliferation. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment options and expectations for cancer patients.

[0004] Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), also known as CD279, is a cell surface receptor expressed on activated T cells, natural killer T cells, B cells, and macrophages. It functions as an intrinsic negative feedback system that prevents T cell activation, thereby reducing autoimmunity and enhancing self-tolerance. PD-1 is also known to play a crucial role in suppressing antigen-specific T cell responses in diseases such as cancer and viral infections. The interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 leads to a decrease in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, a reduction in T-cell receptor-mediated proliferation, and immune evasion by cancer cells. The immunosuppressive effects can be reversed by inhibiting the local interaction of the immunosuppressive PD-1 and PD-L1, and this effect is additive when the interaction of PD-1 with PD-L2 is also blocked.

[0005] The development of therapeutic approaches aims to block the inhibitory signaling cascade mediated by PD-1 to enhance or "rescue" T cell responses. Currently, most drugs approved in the field of immunotherapy are monoclonal antibodies. These monoclonal antibodies have shown impressive clinical results in the treatment of some types of tumors. However, therapeutic antibodies have several disadvantages, such as limited tissue and tumor penetration, very long half-life, lack of oral bioavailability, immunogenicity, and difficulty and high cost in production.

[0006] Recently, small molecules that bind to PD-L1 have been described in WO2015033299, WO2015033301, WO2015034820, WO2018183171, WO2018119224, and WO2018119266. In addition, small molecule inhibitors that directly target PD-1 or PD-L1 have not yet been approved.

[0007] Therefore, there remains a need for more effective and more easily administered therapeutic agents to counteract the PD-1 / PD-L1 protein / protein interaction. In the present invention, applicants have discovered potent small molecules that are active as inhibitors of the PD-1 and PD-L1 interaction and can therefore be used for therapeutic administration to enhance immunity against cancer and / or infectious diseases. These small molecules are expected to be effective drugs with the desired stability, solubility, bioavailability, therapeutic index, and toxicity profiles, which are crucial for their potential application in promoting human health. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present invention relates to a compound that is an inhibitor of the functional interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1. The inhibitor of the interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1 can be used to treat cancer and infectious diseases.

[0009] The compound of the present invention has a structure as shown in formula (I).

In addition to the common dosage forms mentioned above, the compound represented by formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt can also be administered via controlled release and / or delivery devices. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be prepared by any pharmaceutical method. Generally, such methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient into association with a carrier that constitutes one or more necessary components. Generally, the pharmaceutical composition is prepared by uniformly and intimately mixing the active ingredient with a liquid carrier or a finely divided solid carrier, or a mixture of the two. In addition, the product can be easily prepared into a desired appearance.

[0429] Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a compound represented by formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The combination of the compound represented by formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with one or more other therapeutically active drugs is also included in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention.

When preparing oral pharmaceutical formulations, any convenient pharmaceutical medium can be used. For example, water, ethylene glycol, oils, alcohols, flavor enhancers, preservatives, colorants, etc. can be used in the preparation of oral liquid formulations such as suspensions, elixirs, and solutions; while carriers such as starches, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrants, etc. can be used in the preparation of oral solid formulations such as powders, capsules, and tablets. Tablets and capsules are preferred for oral formulations due to ease of administration. Alternatively, tablet coating can be performed using standard aqueous or non-aqueous formulation techniques.

[0431] Tablets containing the compounds or pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be prepared by compression or molding, optionally with one or more auxiliary ingredients or adjuvants. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing the active ingredient in a free-flowing form, such as a powder or granules, mixed with a lubricant, an inert diluent, a surface active agent, or a dispersant, in a suitable machine. Molded tablets can be prepared by moistening the powdered compound or pharmaceutical composition with an inert liquid diluent and then molding it in a suitable machine. Preferably, each tablet contains about 0.05 mg to 5 g of the active ingredient, and each cachet or capsule contains about 0.05 mg to 5 g of the active ingredient. For example, dosage forms intended for oral administration to humans contain about 0.5 mg to about 5 g of the active ingredient, compounded with suitable and conveniently metered auxiliary materials, which may comprise from 5% to 95% of the total pharmaceutical composition. Unit dosage forms generally contain from about 1 mg to about 2 g of the active ingredient, typically 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg, 600 mg, 800 mg or 1000 mg.

[0432] The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein for parenteral administration can be prepared by adding the active ingredient to water to form an aqueous solution or suspension. Suitable surfactants such as hydroxypropylcellulose may be included. Dispersions can also be prepared using glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycol, or mixtures thereof in oils. Furthermore, preservatives may be included in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms.

[0433] The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injection use, including sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions. Further, the above-mentioned pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared into the form of sterile powders that can be used for immediate preparation of sterile injections. In any case, the final injection form must be sterile and, in order to be easy to inject, must be easy to flow. In addition, the pharmaceutical composition must be stable during preparation and storage. Therefore, it is preferred to preserve the contamination of antimicrobial agents such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium, for example, water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol), vegetable oils, and suitable mixtures thereof.

[0434] The pharmaceutical composition provided by the present invention can be in a form suitable for topical administration, for example, an aerosol, emulsion, ointment, lotion, dusting powder, or other similar dosage forms. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical composition provided by the present invention can be in a form suitable for use with a transdermal drug delivery device. These preparations can be prepared using the compound represented by formula (I) of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, by conventional processing methods. As an example, the preparation of an emulsion or ointment is by adding a hydrophilic material and water (the total amount of the two is about 5wt% to 10wt% of the compound) to the above-mentioned compound to obtain an emulsion or ointment with the desired consistency.

[0435] The pharmaceutical composition provided by the present invention can be prepared in a form suitable for rectal administration using a solid as a carrier. A unit dose suppository of the mixture is the most preferred dosage form. Suitable adjuvants include cocoa butter and other materials commonly used in the art. Suppositories can be easily prepared by first mixing the pharmaceutical composition with softened or melted adjuvants, then cooling and molding the mixture into a mold.

[0436] In addition to the aforementioned carrier components, the pharmaceutical preparations may also include, where appropriate, one or more additional excipient components, such as diluents, buffers, flavoring agents, binders, surfactants, thickeners, lubricants, preservatives (including antioxidants), and the like. Furthermore, other excipients may include penetration enhancers to adjust the osmotic pressure between the drug and blood. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may also be prepared in the form of a powder or concentrate.

[0437] Generally, for the treatment of the conditions indicated above, the dosage level may be about 0.01 mg / kg to 150 mg / kg of body weight per day, or about 0.5 mg to 7 g per patient per day. For example, for colon cancer, rectal cancer, mantle cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, breast cancer, prostate cancer, glioblastoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, liposarcoma, T-cell lymphoma, melanoma, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, or lung cancer, the effective dosage level may be about 0.01 mg / kg to 50 mg / kg of body weight per day, or about 0.5 mg to 3.5 g per patient per day.

[0438] However, it is understood that doses lower or higher than those recited above may be acceptable. The specific dosage level and dosage regimen for any particular patient will depend on a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound used, age, weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, excretion rate, combination use of drugs, severity and course of the specific disease being treated, the subject's predisposition to the disease, and the judgment of the treating physician.
