Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention provides novel compounds and conjugates comprising said compounds. The compounds may be binding agents to TEA domain transcription factors (TEADs). The conjugates may contain a ligase-binding moiety. This invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and / or conjugates, and methods for using such pharmaceutical compositions to treat diseases such as cancer and fibrosis.

[0002] Bifunctional Degrading Agent

[0003] Many diseases, including cancer, are caused by the overactivation of proteins within signal transduction networks [1]. This overactivation can lead to abnormal growth, metabolism, or other pathological consequences. Traditional small molecule drugs can inhibit, antagonize, or block these overactivated proteins by binding to ortho- or allosteric sites on proteins. In this way, they can restore normal cellular homeostasis and alleviate the pathological consequences caused by these dysregulated proteins [2].

[0004] As alternatives to small molecule drugs that block protein function, bifunctional molecules that bind to both dysregulated proteins and E3 ligases can promote ubiquitination of proteins by ligases and thereby target the proteins for proteasomal degradation[3]. Bifunctional molecules do not inhibit proteins but reduce intracellular protein levels[4]. Degradative agents can have good biochemical efficiency[5] and long duration of action that persists even after the drug is eliminated from the body[6].

[0005] Hippo signal transduction pathway

[0006] The growth, repair, and remodeling of normal tissues require careful control of transcriptional activity. This is achieved through the coordinated activity of several signaling pathways, including the Hippo pathway. The Hippo signaling network consists of Mst1 / 2 and Lats1 / 2 kinases, which, when activated, phosphorylate Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcription coactivator (TAZ) with a PDZ-binding motif, leading to their retention in the cytosol and degradation by the proteasome. When the Hippo pathway is inactivated, YAP and TAZ remain unphosphorylated. This allows them to move to the nucleus, where they can coactivate TEAD-mediated transcription [7].

[0007] The Hippo pathway plays a key role in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis by controlling TEAD-mediated transcription. The Hippo pathway also controls stem cell self-renewal and differentiation[8]. Finally, the Hippo pathway modulates several components of the immune system, including cytokine expression[9] and M1 / M2 macrophage polarization. Overexpression of TEAD-responsive genes has been shown to drive cancer cell proliferation, promote cancer stem cell self-renewal, and enhance the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by recruiting tumor-associated M2 macrophages

[10] and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) to the tumor

[11] . Therefore, blocking TEAD-regulated gene expression in tumors has a triple action pattern. The blocker has a direct antiproliferative effect on cancer cells, promotes terminal differentiation of cancer stem cells, and reduces the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, giving the immune system a better chance to recognize and eliminate the tumor.

[0008] The Hippo signaling pathway plays a role in regulating wound healing. When this pathway is disrupted, it can lead to fibrosis.

[0009] TEAD transcription factor

[0010] TEA domain transcription factors (TEADs) are a family of transcription factors that regulate gene transcription by binding to upstream response elements of genes regulated by TEADs

[14] . In humans, there are four TEAD orthologs, named TEAD1, TEAD2, TEAD3, and TEAD4. Co-regulatory factors of TEAD transcription factors include Yes-associated protein (YAP), transcription coactivator with PDZ binding motif (TAZ), and remnant-like family members (VGLL1-4)

[15] . TEAD-regulated gene expression is the penultimate step in the Hippo signaling pathway. Therefore, inhibition or degradation of TEADs may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of diseases with abnormal activation of the Hippo pathway, such as cancer and fibrosis

[13] .

[0011] YAP and TAZ interact with the C-terminal trans-activation domain of TEAD through three surface interfaces. Interface 1 is an intermolecular β-sheet formed between the YAP and TEAD β chains. At interface 2, YAP forms an α-helix that fits into the groove of the TEAD helix-turn-helix motif. At interface 3, YAP / TAZ adopts a cyclic structure that interacts with TEAD. In addition, TEAD contains an internal hydrophobic cavity that is occupied by palmitate due to autopalmitoylation. Only palmitoylated TEAD can bind to YAP with high affinity.

[16]

[0012] Several small molecules have been reported in the literature that can prevent YAP from binding to TEAD and thereby block the transcription of TEAD-regulated genes. To date, the most common target of these small molecules is the internal lipophilic binding pocket.

[16] A few inhibitors that bind to the outer interface 2 or 3 have also been reported.

[16]

[0013] WO 2023 / 031801 describes a bifunctional degrader synthesized in 13 steps, which includes a TEAD binder. Summary of the Invention

[0014] One object of the present invention is to provide novel compounds that can be used to treat diseases such as cancer and / or fibrosis. Another object of the present invention is to provide novel compounds that bind to TEAD1, TEAD2, TEAD3, and / or TEAD4 and can be used to treat diseases such as cancer and / or fibrosis. The novel compounds can bind to TEAD1, TEAD2, TEAD3, and / or TEAD4 (TEADx) with high affinity. Another object of the present invention is to provide novel compounds that bind to both TEADx and an E3 ligase to form a stable ternary complex consisting of TEADx, the E3 ligase, and the novel compound. Yet another object is to provide conjugates comprising novel compounds that bind to TEAD1, TEAD2, TEAD3, and / or TEAD4, the conjugates being capable of at least partially degrading TEAD1, TEAD2, TEAD3, and / or TEAD4.

[0246] This invention discloses a compound of formula I according to a first aspect of the invention, which targets TEAD. A conjugate comprising a compound of formula I and a ligase binding agent can recruit TEAD to an E3 ubiquitin ligase for degradation. Therefore, according to a second aspect of the invention, a conjugate is provided, comprising, or substantially composed of: Formula II:

[0247] ABC (Form II)

[0248] Where A is a compound of formula I according to any one of the embodiments of the first aspect, provided that R in formula I is... 1 R 3 Or R 4 One of them is a bond with B or contains that bond. In other words, the condition includes R in equation I. 1 R 3 Or R 4 One of them is a connection point with B or contains such a connection point. Alternatively, AB is a condensation product formed from a compound of formula I according to the first aspect and a connector B. As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the condensation product requires the removal of water in the reaction that forms the product. Thus, the condensation product AB can be formed from a carboxylic acid (-COOH) and an amine (-NHR or -NH2) (forming an amide bond (-CONR- or -CONH-) and water (H2O)). Thus, when formula I is connected to connector B via -COOH, the resulting conjugate lacks the OH previously present in the carboxylic acid of formula I, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0249] B is a connector. B can be a connector that covalently connects A and C.

[0250] C is a ligase binding agent. Conjugates according to Formula II can serve as TEAD binding agents.

[0251] Unbound by any particular theory, the conjugate of Formula II can induce the formation of: a ternary complex containing the Formula II conjugate, TEAD and E3 ligase; or a ternary complex containing the Formula II conjugate, TEAD and Cerebrolysin.

[0252] The conjugates according to Formula II can be used as TEAD degrading agents. This is illustrated by some of the conjugates according to the second aspect; see Example 204. Figure 1 and / or Figure 2 This can be seen in the figure, which shows the amount of TEAD after incubation with the conjugate according to the second aspect of the invention.

For example, a linker may have between 1 and 13, preferably less than 10, rotatable bonds. Furthermore, a linker may have between 5 and 30, preferably less than 26, non-hydrogen atoms. Additionally, a linker may have a certain number of hydrogen bond donors, preferably up to 2.
