Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and particularly relates to a kind of small molecule compounds with Werner syndrome RecQ DNA helicase inhibitory activity, and the purposes of such compounds. BACKGROUND
[0002] Werner syndrome RecQ DNA helicase (WRN) is a RecQ DNA helicase involved in maintaining genome integrity, WRN is composed of 1432 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 160KD. In undamaged human cells, WRN is mainly located in the nucleolus, but after DNA damage, it quickly moves to other nuclear regions. WRN enzyme has helicase and exonuclease activity. Cancer caused by the loss of mismatch repair (MMR) ability has a high mutation load, and deletions and insertions in repetitive DNA sequences are frequent, a phenotype called microsatellite instability (MSI). WRN plays a role in maintaining genome stability in MSI cells, and the loss of its activity causes the accumulation of DNA double-strand breaks in MSI cells, leading to apoptosis, and is a synthetic lethal target in MSI cells.
[0003] In colon cancer, endometrial cancer and gastric cancer, MSI-type tumors have a high incidence, and colorectal cancer is highly prevalent in China. Taking colon cancer as an example, MSI-type tumors account for a relatively high proportion of colon cancer, about 12-15%. Although most patients have sustained response to PD-L1, some patients still do not respond to immunotherapy or eventually develop drug resistance, which is an opportunity for WRN inhibitors. Or can become the preferred drug for the treatment of drug-resistant MSI-H tumors.
[0004] Currently, most WRN inhibitors are in the preclinical research stage, but several companies have disclosed WRN inhibitor patents, such as WO2023062575, WO2022249060, CN118459466, WO2024120378, WO2024010782, WO2024028169, CN118271323. SUMMARY

[0060] Unless otherwise stated, conventional methods within the scope of the art, such as mass spectrometry, NMR, and pharmacological methods, are employed. Unless specifically defined, the terminology used herein in the relevant descriptions of analytical chemistry, organic synthetic chemistry, and pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry is known in the art. Standard techniques can be used in chemical synthesis, chemical analysis, drug preparation, formulation and delivery, and in the treatment of patients. For example, reactions and purifications can be carried out using the manufacturer's instructions for use of reagent kits, or in accordance with methods known in the art or the descriptions of this invention. The techniques and methods described herein are generally carried out according to conventional methods well known in the art, based on the descriptions in the various summary and more specific literatures cited and discussed herein.
[0061] Unless otherwise stated, the terms used in the specification and claims have the following meanings.
[0062] The term "optionally" includes both "optional" and "not optional". For example, "optionally substituted methyl" means "unsubstituted methyl" or "substituted methyl".
[0063] The term "substitution" refers to the selective replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms on a specified atom or group by a specified group, provided that the replacement does not exceed the normal valence state of the specified atom. When the substituent is an oxo or ketone group (i.e., =O), then two hydrogen atoms on the atom are replaced.
[0064] The term "hydrocarbon group" refers to a group containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms, including saturated or unsaturated aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon groups.
[0065] The term "cyclic hydrocarbon group" refers to a cyclic hydrocarbon group, which can be monocyclic or polycyclic. The term "aromatic ring" refers to a cyclic hydrocarbon group that is aromatic.

For example, C 1-3 Alkyl refers to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and isopropyl.
[0067] The term "alkenyl" refers to a compound containing at least one unsaturated site, i.e., a carbon-carbon sp group. 2 The double-bonded hydrocarbon group can represent a straight-chain and / or branched alkenyl group, where branching refers to one or more alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, or propyl attached to the straight-chain alkenyl group. It can be monovalent, divalent, or polyvalent. Unless otherwise specified in the specification, the alkenyl group may optionally be substituted.
[0068] An alkoxy group is an alkyl group that is attached to the rest of the molecule via an oxygen linker (-O-).
[0069] The term "cycloalkyl" refers to a saturated monocyclic or polycyclic cyclic hydrocarbon substituent containing 3 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 3 to 12 carbon atoms, more preferably 3 to 8 (e.g., 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) carbon atoms, and even more preferably 3 to 6 carbon atoms.

[0072] Unless otherwise specified, the term “halogenated” or “halogen”, either by itself or as part of another substituent, refers to a fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom.
[0073] The term "isotope derivative" refers to a derivative of a compound in which one or more atoms are replaced by their isotopes (atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic masses or mass numbers from the dominant atomic mass or mass number found in nature). Examples of isotopes include, but are not limited to, isotopes of hydrogen (e.g., 2 H, 3 H), carbon isotopes (e.g.) 11 C 13 C and 14 C) Isotopes of fluorine (e.g.) 18 F), nitrogen isotopes (e.g.) 13 N and 15 N), isotopes of oxygen (e.g. 15 O、 17 O and 18 O).
[0074] In this invention, unless specifically specified, the term "compound" encompasses its free base, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer, tautomer, isotopic derivative, etc. The compounds of this invention may also exist as hydrates or solvates.
[0075] The terms "pharmaceutical-grade salt" and "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" have the same meaning, referring to salts of active compounds prepared with relatively non-toxic acids or bases, depending on the specific substituents found on the compounds described herein. When the compounds of the present invention contain relatively acidic functional groups, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting such compounds in their neutral form with a sufficient amount of the desired base (pure or in a suitable inert solvent). Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salts or similar salts. When the compounds of the present invention contain relatively basic functional groups, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting such compounds in their neutral form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid (pure or in a suitable inert solvent). Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be found, for example, Berge et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts", Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19. Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functional groups, which allows the compounds to be converted into base or acid addition salts.
[0076] "Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and / or additives" refer to substances that facilitate the administration and absorption of compounds to an individual and can be included in the compositions of the present invention without causing significant adverse toxicity to the patient. Such formulations are sterilizable and, if desired, can be mixed with adjuvants that do not react harmfully with the compounds of the present invention, such as lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts for influencing osmotic pressure, buffers, coloring and / or aromatic substances, etc. Those skilled in the art will recognize the usefulness of pharmaceutical carriers and / or diluents in the present invention.
[0077] The term "treatment" refers to any indication of successfully treating or improving an injury, disease, pathology, or symptom, including any objective or subjective parameter such as symptom relief; remission; reduction or making the injury, pathology, or symptom more tolerable for the patient; slowing the rate of degeneration or decline; reducing the degree of weakness at the degenerative endpoint; or improving the patient's physical or mental health. Treatment or improvement of symptoms may be based on objective or subjective parameters, including the results of physical examination, neuropsychiatric examination, and / or psychiatric evaluation. The term "treatment" and its variations may include prevention of injury, pathology, symptom, or disease. In this implementation plan, treatment is prevention. In this implementation plan, treatment does not include prevention.
[0078] As used herein, “treatment” (and as is known in the art) also broadly includes any method that can achieve a favorable or desired outcome (including clinical outcomes) in an individual’s condition. Favorable or desired clinical outcomes may include, but are not limited to, the reduction or improvement of one or more symptoms or conditions, a reduction in the severity of the disease, stabilization of the disease state (i.e., no worsening), prevention of the spread or diffusion of the disease, delay or slowing the progression of the disease, improvement or mitigation of the disease state, reduction of disease recurrence, and remission, whether partial or complete, and whether detectable or undetectable. In other words, as used herein, “treatment” includes any cure, improvement, or prevention of a disease. Treatment can prevent the occurrence of the disease; inhibit the spread of the disease; alleviate the symptoms of the disease; completely or partially eliminate the root cause of the disease; shorten the duration of the disease; or a combination of these events.
[0079] As used herein, “treatment” includes prophylactic treatment. Treatment methods include administering a therapeutically effective amount of the compound described herein to an individual. Administration may include a single dose or a series of doses. The duration of treatment depends on various factors, such as the severity of symptoms, the patient's age, the concentration of the compound, the activity of the composition used for treatment, and their combination. It should also be understood that the effective amount of the agent used for treatment or prevention may increase or decrease as a particular treatment or prevention regimen progresses. Dosage changes can be obtained and become apparent through standard diagnostic analyses known in the art. In some instances, prolonged administration may be required. For example, administering the composition to an individual in a dose and for a duration sufficient to treat the patient.
[0080] The term "prevention" refers to reducing the occurrence of disease symptoms in a patient. As mentioned above, prevention can be complete (no detectable symptoms) or partial prevention, resulting in fewer observed symptoms than would be possible without treatment. In implementation, prevention means slowing the progression of a disease, symptom, or illness, or inhibiting its progression to a harmful or other undesirable state.
[0081] "Patient" or "individual in need" means a living organism that suffers from or is susceptible to a disease or symptom that can be treated by administration of the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein. Non-limiting examples include humans, other mammals, cattle, rats, mice, dogs, monkeys, goats, sheep, dairy cows, deer, and other non-mammalian animals. In some embodiments, the patient is a human.
[0082] "Effective amount" is the amount of a compound sufficient to achieve its intended purpose (e.g., to achieve the effect of administration, to treat a disease, to reduce enzyme activity, to increase enzyme activity, to reduce signaling pathways, or to alleviate one or more symptoms of a disease or condition) relative to the absence of such an effective amount. An example of an "effective amount" is an amount sufficient to promote the treatment, prevention, or relief of one or more symptoms of a disease, also referred to as a "therapeutic effective amount." "Relief" (and its grammatical equivalent) of one or more symptoms means a reduction in the severity or frequency of the symptoms, or the elimination of the symptoms. A "preventive effective amount" of a drug is the amount of the drug that, when administered to an individual, would have the intended preventive effect, such as preventing or delaying the onset (or recurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology, or condition, or reducing the likelihood of the onset (or recurrence) of such an injury, disease, pathology, or condition or its symptoms. A complete preventive effect does not necessarily occur with the administration of a single dose and may only occur after a series of doses. Therefore, a preventive effective amount can be administered over a single or multiple administrations. As used herein, "activity reduction amount" refers to the amount of antagonist required to reduce enzyme activity relative to the absence of an antagonist. As used herein, “functionally disruptive dose” refers to the amount of antagonist required to disrupt the function of an enzyme or protein relative to the absence of an antagonist. The exact dose will depend on the therapeutic purpose and will be determined by someone skilled in the art using known techniques (see, for example, Lieberman, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (Vols. 1–3, 1992); Lloyd, The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding (1999); Pickar, Dosage Calculations (1999); and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition, 2003, Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins). Therapeuticly effective doses can be determined by measuring the relevant physiological effects and can be adjusted in conjunction with individual symptom-specific dosing regimens and diagnostic analyses.
[0083] The term "cancer" refers to a disease characterized by the rapid and uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Cancer cells can spread locally or to other parts of the body via the bloodstream and lymphatic system. This article describes examples of various cancers, including but not limited to colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, adrenocortical cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, and ovarian cancer.
[0084] The terms "tumor" and "cancer" are used interchangeably in this invention; for example, both terms include solid and liquid tumors, such as diffuse or circulating tumors. As used in this invention, the terms "cancer" or "tumor" include pre-existing and malignant cancers and tumors.
[0085] The terms “microsatellite unstable cancer,” “high microsatellite unstable cancer,” “high microsatellite cancer,” and “high MSI cancer” and “MSI-H” are used interchangeably in this document to describe cancers with a high number of alterations to simple repetitive genomic sequences within microsatellites.
[0086] As used herein, “WRN inhibitor” or “WRN helicase inhibitor” refers to a compound that inhibits the Werner syndrome RecQ DNA helicase (WRN). As used herein, the term “WRN” refers to the protein of the Werner syndrome RecQ DNA helicase. The term “WRN” includes mutants, fragments, variants, isotypes, and homologs of the full-length wild-type WRN.
[0087] The invention is further illustrated by the following examples, which are illustrative and do not limit the invention in any way. Any modifications or alterations to the invention that are readily achievable by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope of the invention.
[0088] Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials or reagents used in the embodiments of this invention are commercially available.
[0089] The abbreviations used in this invention have their conventional meanings in the art. For example, the meanings of the following abbreviations are as follows:
