Description

Substituted bicyclic heterocyclic YAP-TEAD and / or TAZ-TEAD inhibitors Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to bicyclic compounds. These bicyclic compounds are suitable as TEAD binding agents and / or inhibitors of YAP-TEAD and TAZ-TEAD protein-protein interactions or binding, and are suitable for the prevention and / or treatment of cancer and other serious disorders and diseases. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the Hippo pathway has become a target of interest in the treatment of hyperproliferative disorders and diseases, particularly cancer (SA Smith et al., J. Med. Chem. 2019, 62, 1291-1305; KC Lin et al., Annu. Rev. Cancer Biol. 2018, 2: 59-79; C.-L. Kim et al., Cells (2019), 8, 468; KF Harvey et al., Nature Reviews Cancer, Vol. 13, 246-257 (2013)). The Hippo pathway regulates cell growth, proliferation, and migration. It is speculated that the Hippo pathway acts as a tumor suppressor in mammals, and dysfunction of Hippo signaling is frequently observed in human cancers.

[0003] Furthermore, since the Hippo pathway plays a role in several biological processes, such as in the self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells and precursor cells, wound healing and tissue regeneration, and in its interactions with other signaling pathways such as Wnt, its dysfunction may also play a role in human diseases other than cancer (C.-L. Kim et al., Cells (2019), 8, 468; Y. Xiao et al., Genes & Development (2019) 33: 1491-1505; KF Harvey et al., Nature Reviews Cancer, Vol. 13, 246-257 (2013)).

[0004] While several aspects of pathway activity and regulation remain to be further investigated, it has been established that, in the "on" state, the Hippo pathway involves a cytoplasmic kinase cascade (including Mst 1 / 2 and Lats 1 / 2), leading to phosphorylation of two transcriptional coactivators, YAP (a Yes-associated protein) and TAZ (a transcriptional coactivator with a PDZ-binding motif). Phosphorylation of YAP / TAZ isolates them in the cytoplasm, ultimately leading to their degradation. In contrast, when the Hippo pathway is "off" or dysregulated, the unphosphorylated activated YAP / TAZ coactivators translocate to the nucleus. Their primary target transcription factors are four proteins (TEAD1-4) from the transcription enhancement-associated domain (TEAD) family of transcription factors. The binding and activation of TEAD (or other transcription factors) with YAP or TAZ has been shown to induce the expression of several genes, many of which mediate cell survival and proliferation. Therefore, activated, unphosphorylated YAP and TAZ can act as oncogenes, while activated, turned-on Hippo pathways can act as tumor suppressors by deactivating YAP and TAZ, i.e., phosphorylating them.

[0005] Furthermore, the Hippo pathway may also play a role in the mechanisms of cancer cell resistance to oncology and immuno-oncology therapies (R. Reggiani et al., BBA - Reviews on Cancer 1873 (2020) 188341, 1-11).

[0006] Recently, small molecule inhibitors have been described as pan-TEAD inhibitors, namely compounds that bind not only to one member of the TEAD family, but also to more than one, and in particular to all four human TEAD paralogs, thereby blocking YAP / TAZ binding (TJ Hagenbeek, et al., Nature Cancer, 4, 812-828 (2023); WO2021 / 108483 A1).

[0007] Therefore, the Hippo pathway, as a tumor suppressor, is generally considered to be an important event in the development of various types of cancer and diseases due to its dysfunction or abnormal regulation.

[0008] Therefore, pharmacological intervention to inhibit YAP, TAZ, TEAD, and YAP-TEAD or TAZ-TEAD protein-protein interactions appears to be a rational and valuable strategy for the prevention and / or treatment of cancer and other hyperproliferative disorders and diseases associated with Hippo pathway dysfunction. This also applies to inhibiting not only binding to a single member of the TEAD family, but also binding to two, three, and / or all four TEAD paralogs. Summary of the Invention

Some of the compounds of this invention are applicable to the preparation of other compounds of this invention.

Non-limiting examples include indolyl, isoindolyl, benzothienyl / benzothiophenyl, benzofuranyl, dibenzofuranyl, indazoleyl, benzimidazolyl, benzothiazolyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, quinazolinyl, furanyl, quinoxalinyl, phthalazinyl, 4H-quinazinyl, carbazolyl, acridineyl, phenazinyl, phenthiazolyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, 9H-carbazolyl, dibenzofuranyl, and pyrido[2,3-b]-1,4-oxazin-3(4H)-one, etc. For example, the indolyl ring may be linked via a ring atom of a six-membered aryl ring or via a ring atom of a five-membered heteroaryl ring. The heteroaryl group is optionally monocyclic, bicyclic, or tricyclic. The term “heteroaryl” is used interchangeably with the terms “heteroaryl ring,” “heteroaryl group,” or “heteroaryl family,” any of which includes a ring that is unsubstituted or substituted with one or more identical or different substituents. The term “heteroarylalkyl” refers to a heteroaryl-substituted alkyl group, wherein the alkyl and heteroaryl portions are optionally substituted independently.

[0067] A heteroaryl ring can be attached to its side group at either a heterocyclic atom or a carbon ring atom, and this attachment produces a stable structure or molecule: either of the ring atoms may be unsubstituted or substituted.

[0068] As used herein, the terms “heterocyclic,” “heterocyclic group,” “heterocyclic radical,” and “heterocyclic” are used interchangeably and refer to a stable monocyclic, bicyclic, or tricyclic heterocyclic moiety having 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 ring atoms, wherein 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of these ring atoms are heteroatoms and the heterocyclic moiety is saturated or partially unsaturated; the heterocyclic moiety as an aromatic ring or ring system is generally referred to as the “heteroaryl” moiety described above. Preferably, the heterocycle is a stable saturated or partially unsaturated 3-membered, 4-membered, 5-membered, 6-membered, or 7-membered monocyclic, or 6-membered, 7-membered, 8-membered, 9-membered, 10-membered, or 11-membered bicyclic, or 11-membered, 12-membered, 13-membered, or 14-membered tricyclic heterocyclic moiety.

[0069] When used with respect to the ring atom of a heterocycle, the term "nitrogen" includes substituted nitrogen. For example, in a saturated or partially unsaturated ring having one to three heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, nitrogen is N (as in 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole), NH (as in pyrrolidinyl), or N-SUB, where SUB is a suitable substituent (as in N-substituted pyrrolidinyl).

[0070] In the context of the term "heterocycle," the term "saturated" refers to a fully saturated heterocyclic system, such as pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, morpholinyl, piperidinoneyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, thiohexacyclohexyl, and dioxothiohexacyclohexyl. Regarding the term "heterocycle," the term "partially unsaturated" refers to (i) a heterocyclic system containing one or more unsaturated units (e.g., C=C or C=heteroatomic bonds) but not aromatic, such as tetrahydropyridinyl; or (ii) a heterocyclic system fused with an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system (either saturated or unsaturated, but non-aromatic), where the "partially unsaturated heterocycle" is connected to the remainder of the molecule (its side groups) via a ring atom of the "heterocyclic" portion of the system and not via the aromatic or heteroaromatic portion. This first type of "partially unsaturated" heterocycle may also be referred to as a "non-aromatic partially unsaturated" heterocycle. This type of second (ii) "partially unsaturated" heterocycle can also be called a (bicyclic or tricyclic) "partially aromatic" heterocycle, indicating that at least one ring of the heterocycle is a saturated or unsaturated, but non-aromatic, heterocycle fused with at least one aromatic ring system or heteroaromatic ring system. Typical examples of these "partially aromatic" heterocycles are 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolinyl and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolinyl.

[0071] Heterocycles can be attached to their side groups at any heteroatom or carbon atom to produce a stable structure, and any ring atom may be unsubstituted or substituted. Examples of such saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic groups include, but are not limited to, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, thiohexaneyl, dioxothiohexaneyl, tetrahydrothiophenyl, pyrroliyl, piperidinyl, pyrrolinyl, morpholinyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, decahydroquinolinyl, thiazolyl, piperazine, dioxaneyl, dioxopentaneyl, diazaheptanyl, thiazoheptanyl, thiazohexaneyl, morpholinyl, and piperazine. The terms “heterocyclic,” “heterocyclic group,” “heterocyclic ring,” “heterocyclic group,” “heterocyclic moiety,” and “heterocyclic radical” are used interchangeably herein and also include groups fused to one or more aryl, heteroaryl, or cycloaliphatic rings, such as indololinyl, 3H-indolyl, dihydroindolyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, or tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, wherein the linking group or linking point is on the heterocyclic ring. The heterocyclic group is optionally monocyclic, bicyclic, or tricyclic. The term “heterocyclic alkyl” refers to an alkyl group substituted with a heterocyclic group, wherein the alkyl group and the heterocyclic moiety are independently unsubstituted or substituted.

[0072] As used herein, the term "unsaturated" means that a part or group or substituent has one or more unsaturated units.

[0073] As used herein with respect to any ring, ring system, ring moiety, etc., the term "partially unsaturated" means that the ring moiety includes at least one double or triple bond. The term "partially unsaturated" is intended to encompass rings having multiple unsaturated sites. Specifically, it encompasses (i) unsaturated (monocyclic, bicyclic, or tricyclic) ring systems without any aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety; and (ii) bicyclic or tricyclic ring systems in which one ring is an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring fused with another ring that is neither aromatic nor heteroaromatic, such as tetrahydronaphthyl or tetrahydroquinolinyl. Type I (i) "partially unsaturated" rings, ring systems, and ring moiety may also be referred to as "non-aromatic partially unsaturated" rings, ring systems, and ring moiety, while Type II (ii) may be referred to as "partially aromatic" rings, ring systems, and ring moiety.

[0074] As used herein, the terms “bicyclic,” “bicyclic,” or “bicyclic system” refer to any bicyclic system, i.e., a carbocyclic or heterocyclic system, saturated or having one or more unsaturated units, i.e., partially unsaturated or aromatic, having one or more common atoms between the two rings of the system. Thus, the term includes any permitted ring fusion, such as ortho-rings or spirocyclics. As used herein, the term “heterobicyclic” is a subset of “bicyclic” requiring the presence of one or more heteroatoms in one or both rings of the bicyclic system. Such heteroatoms may be present at ring junctions and optionally be substituted, and may be selected from nitrogen (including nitrogen oxides), oxygen, sulfur (including oxidized forms such as sulfoxides and sulfones), phosphorus (including oxidized forms such as phosphates), boron, etc. In some embodiments, the bicyclic group has 7 to 12 ring members and 0 to 4 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur. Similarly, the terms "tricyclic," "tricyclic," or "tricyclic system" refer to any tricyclic system, i.e., a carbon ring or heterocyclic ring, saturated or having one or more unsaturated units, i.e., partially unsaturated or aromatic, wherein a bicyclic system (as defined above) is fused with another third ring. Thus, the term includes any permissible ring fusion. As used herein, the term "heterotricyclic" is a subset of "tricyclic" rings requiring the presence of one or more heteroatoms in one or two of the rings. Such heteroatoms may be present at ring junctions and optionally substituted, and may be selected from nitrogen (including nitrogen oxides), oxygen, sulfur (including oxidized forms such as sulfoxides and sulfones), phosphorus (including oxidized forms such as phosphates), boron, etc. In some embodiments, the tricyclic group has 10-14 ring members and 0 to 5 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur.

[0075] As described herein, certain compounds of the present invention contain a “substituted” or “optionally substituted” portion. Generally, the term “substituted” refers, whether or not preceded by the term “optionally,” to one or more hydrogens in the portion being replaced by a suitable substituent. “Substituted” applies to one or more hydrogens, whether structurally defined or implicit. Unless otherwise specified, a “substituted” or “optionally substituted” group has suitable substituents at each substituted position of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure is replaced by more than one substituent selected from a defined group, the substituents at each position are the same or different. If a group, substituent, portion, or group is “monosubstituted,” it carries (1) substituents. If it is “disubstituted,” it carries (2) the same or different substituents; if it is “trisubstituted,” it carries (3) substituents, wherein all three are the same, or two are the same and the third is different, or all three are different from each other. The combinations of substituents contemplated in the present invention are preferably combinations that form stable or chemically viable compounds. As used herein, the term "stable" means a compound that is not substantially altered when subjected to conditions that allow it to be produced, detected, and in some embodiments, recovered, purified, and used for one or more of the purposes disclosed herein.

It should be understood that "Ph" refers to phenyl, and "halogen" refers to a halogen.

[0081] The term "solvent" refers to the addition form of the compound of the present invention with a solvent (preferably a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent), containing a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of solvent. Some compounds have a tendency to retain solvent molecules in a fixed molar ratio in a crystalline solid state, thereby forming a solvate. If the solvent is water, the formed solvate is a hydrate, such as a hemihydrate, monohydrate, or dihydrate. If the solvent is an alcohol, the formed solvate is an alcohol, such as a methanol or ethanol. If the solvent is an ether, the formed solvate is an ether compound, such as a diethyl ether compound.

[0082] The term "N-oxide" refers to such compounds of the present invention containing an amine oxide moiety (i.e., an oxide of a tertiary amine group).

[0083] Compounds of Formula I may also have one or more chiral centers, depending on the nature of the substituents they can carry. They can therefore exist in various enantiomeric and diastereomeric forms, and, depending on the specific circumstances, in racemic or optically active forms. Therefore, this invention also refers to the optically active forms, enantiomers, racemates, diastereomerics, and mixtures thereof in all proportions of these compounds, collectively referred to for the purposes of this invention as “stereoisomers.” Since the medicinal activities of the racemates or stereoisomers of the compounds of this invention may differ, it may be necessary to use a specific stereoisomer, such as a specific enantiomer or diastereomeric isomer. In these cases, the compounds of this invention obtained in racemic or even intermediate form can be isolated into stereoisomeric (enantiomeric, diastereomeric) compounds by chemical or physical methods known to those skilled in the art. Another approach to obtaining one or more specific stereoisomers of the compounds of the present invention in concentrated or pure form utilizes stereoselective synthetic procedures, such as using starting materials in concentrated or pure stereoisomeric form (e.g., using pure or concentrated (R)- or (S)-enantiomers of a specific starting material carrying a chiral center) or utilizing chiral reagents or catalysts, specifically enzymes. In the context of the present invention, the term "pure enantiomer" generally refers to an enantiomer with a relative purity of 95% or greater than that of another (its enantiomer), preferably ≥98%, more preferably ≥98.5%, and even more preferably ≥99%.

[0084] Therefore, compounds of the present invention, for example having one or more chiral centers and existing in racemic form or as a mixture of enantiomers or diastereomers, can be fractionated or resolved by methods known to themselves to their optically pure or concentrated isomers, i.e., enantiomers or diastereomers. The separation of compounds of the present invention can be carried out by chromatographic methods, such as column separation on a chiral or achiral phase, or by recrystallization with an optionally selected optically active solvent, or by using an optically active acid or base, or by derivatization with an optically active reagent such as an optically active alcohol followed by elimination of groups.

[0085] In the context of this invention, the term "tautomer" refers to the compounds of this invention that can exist in tautomeric forms and exhibit tautomerism; for example, carbonyl compounds can exist in their ketone and / or enol forms and exhibit keto-enol tautomerism. Those tautomers can exist in their individual forms (e.g., ketone or enol forms) or in mixtures thereof, and are claimed individually and together in any ratio of mixtures. The same applies to cis / trans isomers, E / Z isomers, conformational isomers, etc.

[0086] In one embodiment, depending on the specific circumstances, the compounds of the present invention are in the form of a free acid or base, i.e., in their non-salt (or salt-free) form. In another embodiment, the compounds of the present invention are in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

[0087] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt prepared from a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base (including inorganic acids or bases and organic acids or bases). Where the compounds of this invention contain one or more acidic or basic groups, this invention also includes their corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Thus, compounds of this invention containing acidic groups (such as carboxyl groups) can exist in salt form and can be used according to this invention, for example, as alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, aluminum salts, or ammonium salts. More precise examples of such salts include lithium salts, sodium salts, potassium salts, ammonium salts, magnesium salts, barium salts, or salts formed from ammonia or organic amines such as ethylamine, ethanolamine, triethanolamine, pyridine, N-methylglutamylamine, or amino acids. These salts can be readily obtained, for example, by reacting a compound having an acidic group with a suitable base such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium propoxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium ethoxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, or barium hydroxide. Other basic salts of the compounds of this invention include, but are not limited to, copper (I), copper (II), iron (II), iron (III), manganese (II), and zinc salts. Compounds of the present invention containing one or more basic groups (e.g., protonable groups) may exist in salt form and may be used according to the invention in the form of addition salts with inorganic or organic acids. Examples of suitable acids include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, sulfoacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, oxalic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, carbonic acid, formic acid, propionic acid, pentylene acid, diethylacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, pimecrolic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, maleic acid, malic acid, embonic acid, mandelic acid, aminosulfonic acid, phenylpropionic acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, isonicotinic acid, citric acid, adipic acid, taurocholic acid, glutaric acid, stearic acid, glutamic acid or aspartic acid, and other acids known to those skilled in the art. The salts formed are, in particular, hydrochlorides, chlorides, hydrobromates, bromides, iodides, sulfates, phosphates, methanesulfonates, toluenesulfonates, carbonates, bicarbonates, formates, acetates, sulfoacetates, trifluoromethanesulfonates, oxalates, malonates, maleates, succinates, tartrates, malates, embosylates, mandelates, fumarates, lactates, citrates, glutarate esters, stearates, aspartate salts, and glutamates. The stoichiometry of the salts formed from the compounds of this invention may also be an integer or a non-integer multiple of one.

[0088] The compounds of the present invention containing basic nitrogen-containing groups can be quaternized using the following reagents: (C1-C4) alkyl halides, such as chlorides, bromides, and iodides of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and tert-butyl groups; di(C1-C4) alkyl sulfates, such as dimethyl, diethyl, and dipentyl sulfates; (C1-C4) alkyl halides. 10 -C 18 Alkyl halides, such as chlorides, bromides, and iodides of decyl, dodecyl, lauryl, myristyl, and stearyl groups; and aryl (C1-C4) alkyl halides, such as benzyl chloride and phenethyl bromide. Water-soluble and oil-soluble compounds according to the invention can be prepared using such salts.

[0089] If the compounds of the present invention contain both acid and base groups in their molecules, the present invention also includes internal salts or betaines (zwitterions) in addition to the salt forms mentioned. The corresponding salts can be obtained by conventional methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by contacting them in a solvent or dispersant with an organic or inorganic acid or base, or by anion or cation exchange with other salts. The present invention also includes all salts of the compounds of the present invention that are unsuitable for direct use in pharmaceuticals due to low physiological compatibility, but can be used, for example, as intermediates in chemical reactions or for the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

[0090] Therefore, the following items are also applicable according to the invention: (a) all stereoisomers or tautomers of the compound, including mixtures thereof in all ratios; (b) pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound and the items mentioned in (a); (c) pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of the compound and the items mentioned in (a) and (b); and (d) N-oxides of the compound and the items mentioned in (a), (b), and (c).

[0091] It should be understood that all references to the compounds above and below are intended to include, in particular, pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of the compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

[0092] Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention are intended to include their isotopic notation forms. The isotopic notation forms of the compounds of Formula I are identical to those of this compound, except that one or more atoms of the compound have been replaced by one or more atoms whose atomic mass or mass number differs from that of naturally occurring atoms. Examples of readily available isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds of the present invention by well-known methods include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine, and chlorine, respectively, for example… 2 H (D), 3 H, 13 C 14 C 15 N、 18 O、 17O、 31 P, 32 P, 33 S, 34 S, 35 S, 36 S, 18 F and 36 CI. Compounds of Formula I containing one or more of the isotopes mentioned above and / or other isotopes of other atoms, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are intended to be part of this invention. Compounds labeled with the isotopes of Formula I can be used in many advantageous ways. For example, those already incorporated as... 3 H or 14 The isotope-labeled compounds of the present invention, containing radioactive isotopes of C, are suitable for pharmaceutical and / or tissue distribution analysis. These radioactive isotopes are xenon (³H) and carbon-14 (³H). 14 C) is particularly preferred due to its simple preparation and excellent detectability. This isotope-labeled compound also exhibits high metabolic stability, for example, deuterium (…). 2 Compounds of Formula I with heavier isotopes incorporated into them (H) have therapeutic advantages. Higher metabolic stability directly translates to prolonged in vivo half-life or reduced dosage, which in most cases represents a preferred embodiment of the invention. Isotope-labeled Formula I compounds and salts can generally be prepared by replacing non-isotope-labeled reactants with readily available isotope-labeled reactants, following the synthetic diagrams and related descriptions disclosed in the Examples and Preparation sections of this invention.

[0093] deuterium( 2 H; D) can also be incorporated into compounds of Formula I to achieve the goal of controlling the oxidative metabolism of compounds by means of first-order kinetic isotope effects. First-order kinetic isotope effects are changes in the rate of chemical reactions caused by isotopic nuclear exchange, which in turn causes a change in the ground-state energy required for the formation of covalent bonds after the exchange. Exchange of heavier isotopes typically leads to a decrease in the ground-state energy of chemical bonds, thus causing a reduction in the rate of rate-limiting bond breaking. If bond breaking occurs in or near a saddle point region along the multi-product reaction coordinate system, the product distribution ratio can be substantially altered. For explanation: if deuterium binds to a carbon atom at a non-exchangeable position, a rate difference of k_M / k_D = 2-7 ​​is typical. If this rate difference is successfully applied to easily oxidized Formula I compounds, the in vivo form of the compound can be significantly altered, leading to improvements in pharmacokinetic properties.

[0094] When discovering and developing therapeutic agents, those skilled in the art attempt to optimize pharmacokinetic parameters while preserving the desired in vitro properties. It is reasonable to assume that many compounds with unfavorable pharmacokinetic patterns are readily metabolized by oxidation. Currently available in vitro liver microsomal analysis provides valuable information on this type of oxidative metabolism, which in turn allows for the rational design of deuterated Formula I compounds with improved stability through resistance to these oxidative processes. This results in a significant improvement in the pharmacokinetic profile of Formula I compounds, and in terms of in vivo half-life (t... 1 / 2 ), concentration at maximum therapeutic effect (C) max The increase can be quantified in terms of the area under the dose-response curve (AUC) and F; as well as in terms of reduced clearance, dose, and material cost.

[0095] The following aims to illustrate the above: Compounds of Formula I, possessing multiple potential sites of attack for oxidative metabolism, such as benzyl hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen atoms and nitrogen atoms, are prepared as a series of analogs in which various combinations of hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium atoms, such that some, most, or all of these hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium atoms. Determination of half-life can advantageously and accurately determine the extent to which resistance to oxidative metabolism has been improved. In this way, it can be determined that the half-life of the philic compound can be extended by up to 100% due to this type of hydrogen-deuterium exchange.

[0096] The hydrogen-deuterium exchange in the compounds of the present invention can also be used to achieve a favorable alteration of the metabolite profile of the starting compound, thereby mitigating or eliminating undesirable toxic metabolites. For example, if toxic metabolites emerge via the cleavage of oxidative carbon-hydrogen (CH) bonds, it is reasonable to assume that deuteration analogs will greatly reduce or eliminate the production of unwanted metabolites, even if the specific oxidation is not a rate-determining step. Further information on current advanced technologies for hydrogen-deuterium exchange can be found in, for example, Hanzlik et al., J. Org. Chem. 55, 3992-3997, 1990; Reider et al., J. Org. Chem. 52, 3326-3334, 1987; Foster, Adv. Drug Res. 14, 1-40, 1985; Gillette et al., Biochemistry 33(10) 2927-2937, 1994; and Jarman et al., Carcinogenesis 16(4), 683-688, 1995.

[0097] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising: at least one compound of formula I as an active ingredient, or an N-oxide, solvate, tautomer or stereoisomer thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, including mixtures thereof in all proportions, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

[0098] For the purposes of this invention, the term "pharmaceutical composition" (or "pharmaceutical formulation") refers to a composition or product comprising one or more active ingredients and one or more inert ingredients constituting a carrier, as well as any product produced directly or indirectly by a combination, compounding, or aggregation of any two or more of the aforementioned ingredients, or by the dissociation of one or more ingredients, or by other types of reactions or interactions of one or more ingredients. Therefore, the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention encompass any composition prepared by mixing at least one compound of this invention with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. It may additionally contain physiologically acceptable excipients, adjuvants, auxiliaries, diluents, and / or additional pharmaceutically active substances besides the compounds of this invention.

[0099] Pharmaceutical compositions include those suitable for oral, rectal, topical, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous), ocular (for ophthalmic use), pulmonary (nasal or buccal inhalation), or nasal administration, but the most suitable route in any given case will depend on the nature and severity of the condition being treated and the nature of the active ingredient. They can be conveniently presented in unit dosage forms and prepared by any method well known in pharmaceutical technology.

[0100] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may additionally comprise one or more other compounds as active ingredients (pharmaceuticals), such as one or more additional compounds of the present invention. In a particular embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition further comprises a second active ingredient or its N-oxide, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the foregoing, including mixtures thereof in all proportions, wherein the second active ingredient is different from the compound of formula I; preferably, the second active ingredient is suitable for treating, preventing, inhibiting, and / or improving medical conditions or lesions for which the compounds of the present invention are also applicable and listed elsewhere above or below. Such combinations of two or more active ingredients or pharmaceuticals may be safer or more effective than individual pharmaceuticals or active ingredients, or the combination may be safer or more effective than would be expected based on the additive properties of the individual pharmaceuticals. Such other pharmaceuticals may be administered concurrently or sequentially with the compounds of the present invention via the usual route and at the usual amount. When the compounds of the present invention are used concurrently with one or more other pharmaceuticals or active ingredients, combination products containing such other pharmaceuticals and the compounds of the present invention (also referred to as “fixed-dose combinations”) are preferred. However, combination therapies also include therapies in which the compounds of the present invention and one or more other pharmaceuticals are administered at different weight intervals. Considering that when used in combination with other active ingredients, the compounds of the present invention or another active ingredient, or both, can be used at lower doses than when each is used alone, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention include pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more other active ingredients besides the compounds of the present invention.

[0101] The compounds of the present invention, or their N-oxides, solvates, tautomers, or stereoisomers, and / or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, including mixtures thereof in all proportions, can be used as pharmaceutical agents. They have been found to exhibit pharmacological activity by binding to TEAD and / or disrupting and / or inhibiting YAP-TEAD and / or TAZ-TEAD protein-protein interactions. Notably, some compounds of the present invention bind not only to one member of the TEAD family (TEAD 1, 2, 3, or 4) but also to more than one TEAD paralog, i.e., to two, three, or even all four TEAD paralogs, thereby exhibiting activity as pan-TEAD inhibitors. It is hypothesized that through this activity, the compounds of the present invention can prevent or reverse dysfunction of the Hippo pathway. By preventing its dysfunction, the Hippo pathway may be able to exert its role as a tumor suppressor. In addition to preventing or reversing dysfunction of the Hippo pathway without relying on upstream Hippo regulation, the pharmacological activity of the compounds of the present invention can also be applied to other pathophysiological conditions in which inhibiting or disrupting TEAD binding and / or abnormal YAP-TEAD and / or abnormal TAZ-TEAD communication would be beneficial.

[0102] Therefore, the compounds of the present invention, as TEAD binding agents and / or YAP-TEAD and / or TAZ-TEAD interaction inhibitors, are particularly suitable for treating, preventing, inhibiting, and / or alleviating hyperproliferative disorders and cancers, especially including solid tumors, breast cancer, lung cancer, mesothelioma, epithelioid angioendothelioma, uveal melanoma, liver cancer, ovarian cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, renal cancer, gastric cancer, neuroblastoma, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, schwannoma, meningioma, glioma, and basal cell carcinoma. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory or interpretation, it may be assumed that the compounds may achieve this purpose through direct effects on cancer cells and / or indirectly by modulating the immune system's response to tumors. Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention are also suitable for treating, preventing, inhibiting, and / or improving non-cancerous disorders and diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and fibrosis (e.g., liver fibrosis).

[0103] In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are suitable for prevention and / or treatment, particularly for treating any of the disorders or diseases listed above, preferably cancer, especially tumors, including solid tumors, the specific types of cancer disclosed in the preceding paragraphs; or any of the non-cancerous disorders or diseases disclosed in the preceding paragraphs.

[0104] Another specific embodiment of the invention is a method for preventing and / or treating, preferably treating, a disorder or disease selected from the group consisting of: hyperproliferative disorders and cancer, particularly tumors, including solid tumors, the specific types of cancer disclosed in the preceding paragraph; or any of the non-cancerous disorders or diseases disclosed in the preceding paragraph.

[0105] Another specific embodiment of the invention is the use of the compound of the invention or its N-oxide, prodrug, solvate, tautomer or stereoisomer, and / or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, including mixtures thereof in all ratios, for the preparation, particularly for the prevention and / or treatment, preferably for the treatment of disorders or diseases selected from the group consisting of: hyperproliferative disorders and cancer, especially tumors, including solid tumors, the specific types of cancer disclosed in the preceding paragraph; or any of the non-cancerous disorders or diseases disclosed in the preceding paragraph.

[0106] Preferably, the invention relates to a compound of the invention suitable for the prevention and / or treatment of a disease; or alternatively, to a method for preventing and / or treating a disease by administering an effective amount of the compound of the invention; or in another alternative, to the use of a compound of the invention in the preparation of an agent for the prevention and / or treatment of a disease, wherein the disease is cancer, particularly a tumor, including solid tumors, the specific types of cancer disclosed in the preceding paragraphs; and more preferably, wherein the administration of the compound is performed simultaneously, sequentially, or alternately with the administration of at least one other active pharmaceutical agent.

[0110] Another embodiment of the present invention is a method for manufacturing the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, characterized in that one or more of the compounds of the present invention and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of solid, liquid or semi-liquid excipients, auxiliaries, adjuvants, diluents, carriers and pharmaceutically active agents other than the compounds of the present invention are converted into a suitable dosage form.

[0111] The pharmaceutical compositions (formulations) of the present invention can be administered by any means to achieve their intended purpose. For example, they can be administered orally, parenterally, topically, intravenously, intramuscularly, by inhalation, nasally, intra-articularly, intraspinally, via the trachea, via the eye, subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, percutaneously, or buccally. Alternatively, they can be administered orally simultaneously. The dosage administered will depend on the recipient's age, health condition, and weight, the type of concurrent treatment (if present), the frequency of treatment, and the nature of the desired effect. Parenterally administration is preferred. Oral administration is particularly preferred.

[0112] Suitable dosage forms include, but are not limited to, capsules, tablets, pills, sugar-coated pills, semi-solids, powders, granules, suppositories, ointments, creams, lotions, inhalants, injections, gel patches, gels, patches, eye drops, solutions, syrups, aerosols, suspensions, and emulsions, which can be produced according to methods known in the art.

[0113] Generally, non-chemical pathways for producing pharmaceutical compositions and / or pharmaceutical formulations involve processing steps, known in the art, on suitable mechanical tools to transfer one or more of the compounds of the invention into a dosage form suitable for administration to a patient requiring such treatment. Typically, converting one or more of the compounds of the invention into such dosage forms involves adding one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of: carriers, excipients, adjuvants, and pharmaceutically active ingredients other than the compounds of the invention. Suitable processing steps include, but are not limited to, combining, grinding, mixing, granulating, dissolving, dispensing, homogenizing, casting, and / or pressing the corresponding active and inactive ingredients. Mechanical tools for performing these processing steps are known in the art. In this regard, the active ingredient is preferably at least one compound of the invention and optionally one or more additional compounds other than the compounds of the invention, which exhibit valuable pharmaceutical properties and are preferably pharmaceutically active agents other than the compounds of the invention, as disclosed herein.

[0114] Particularly suitable for oral use are tablets, pills, coated tablets, capsules, powders, granules, syrups, juices, or drops; suitable for rectal use are suppositories; suitable for parenteral use are solutions, preferably oil-based solutions or aqueous solutions, as well as suspensions, emulsions, or implants; and suitable for topical use are ointments, creams, or powders. The compounds of the present invention can also be lyophilized, and the resulting lyophilized products are used, for example, in the preparation of injectable formulations. The indicated formulations may be sterilized and / or contain adjuvants such as lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers and / or wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts for adjusting osmotic pressure, buffering substances, dyes, flavoring agents, and / or several other active ingredients (e.g., one or more vitamins).

[0115] Suitable excipients are organic or inorganic substances suitable for enteral (e.g., oral), parenteral, or topical application and that do not react with the compounds of the present invention, such as water, vegetable oil, benzyl alcohol, alkyl glycol, polyethylene glycol, triacetin, gelatin, carbohydrates such as lactose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, or starch (corn starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch), cellulose preparations, and / or calcium phosphate, such as tricalcium phosphate or calcium hydrogen phosphate, magnesium stearate, talc, gelatin, tragacanth gum, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and / or petrolatum.

[0116] If necessary, disintegrants may be added, such as starch as mentioned above, as well as carboxymethyl starch, croscarmellose, agar, or alginate or its salts, such as sodium alginate. Adjuvants include, but are not limited to, flow regulators and lubricants, such as silica, talc, stearic acid or its salts, such as magnesium stearate or calcium stearate, and / or polyethylene glycol. The core of the sugar-coated pill has a suitable coating, which may be gastric acid resistant. For this purpose, a concentrated sugar solution may be used, optionally containing gum arabic, talc, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol and / or titanium dioxide, varnish, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. To produce a gastric acid resistant coating or to provide a dosage form that imparts a prolonged effect, tablets, sugar-coated pills, or pellets may contain an internal dose component and an external dose component, the latter being an encapsulation above the former. The two components may be separated by an enteric coating to prevent disintegration in the stomach and allow the internal component to enter the duodenum intact or delay release. Various materials can be used for such enteric coatings or coatings, including solutions of various polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with materials such as shellac, cetyl alcohol, or cellulose acetate phthalate, cellulose acetate, or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate suitable for cellulose formulations. Dyes or pigments can be added to the coating of tablets or sugar-coated pills, for example, to use for identification or to characterize the dosage of the active compound.

[0117] Suitable carrier materials are organic or inorganic substances suitable for enteral (e.g., oral) or parenteral or topical application and that do not react with the novel compound, such as water, vegetable oil, benzyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, gelatin, carbohydrates such as lactose or starch, magnesium stearate, talc, and petroleum jelly. Specifically, tablets, coated tablets, capsules, syrups, suspensions, drops, or suppositories are used for enteral application; solutions (preferably oil solutions or aqueous solutions), suspensions, emulsions, or implants are used for parenteral application; and ointments, creams, or powders are used for topical application. The compounds of the present invention can also be lyophilized, and the resulting lyophilized products can, for example, be used to produce injectable formulations.

[0118] Other orally administered pharmaceutical formulations include incorporation capsules made of gelatin and sealed soft capsules made of gelatin and plasticizers (such as glycerin or sorbitol). Incorporation capsules may contain an active compound in particulate form, which can be mixed with fillers such as lactose, binders such as starch, and / or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate, and optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compound is preferably dissolved or suspended in a suitable liquid (such as fatty oil or liquid paraffin). Additionally, stabilizers may be added.

[0119] Novel compositions that can be incorporated into this invention in liquid form for oral administration include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oily suspensions, and flavored emulsions containing edible oils (e.g., cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil), as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical carriers. Dispersants or suspending agents suitable for aqueous suspensions include synthetic and natural gums such as gum arabic, gum arabic, alginate, dextran, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or gelatin.

[0120] Suitable formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active compound in water-soluble form (e.g., water-soluble salts and alkaline solutions). Alternatively, suspensions of the active compound, optionally oil-based injectable suspensions, may be used. Suitable lipophilic solvents or mediators include fatty oils, such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or polyethylene glycol-400 (the compound is soluble in PEG-400).

[0121] Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances that increase the viscosity of the suspension, including, for example, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol and / or dextran; optionally, the suspension may also contain stabilizers.

[0122] Possible pharmaceutical formulations that can be used rectally include, for example, suppositories, in which one or more active compounds are combined with a suppository base. Suitable suppository bases are, for example, natural or synthetic triglycerides or paraffin hydrocarbons. Alternatively, gelatin rectal capsules may also be used, which consist of a combination of active compounds and a base. Possible base materials include, for example, liquid triglycerides, polyethylene glycol, or paraffin hydrocarbons.

[0123] Pharmaceutical formulations may be used as human and veterinary medicines. As used herein, the term "effective amount" means an amount of drug or pharmaceutical agent that will elicit a biological or medical response in a tissue, system, animal, or human, as sought by, for example, an investigator or clinician. Furthermore, the term also includes, within its scope, "therapeutic effective amount," which means any amount that causes improved treatment, cure, prevention, or improvement of a disease, disorder, or side effect, or a reduced rate of progression of a disease or disorder or symptoms associated with such disease or disorder, compared to a corresponding subject who did not receive this amount; it may also refer to prevention or provision of prevention of a disease or disorder in a subject who has or is at risk of developing a disease or disorder disclosed herein. The term also includes, within its scope, amounts that effectively enhance normal physiological function. Such therapeutically effective amounts of one or more compounds of the invention are known to those skilled in the art or can be readily determined by standard methods known in the art.

[0124] As used in this article, “treating” or “treatment” means the complete or partial relief of symptoms associated with a disorder or disease, or the slowing or prevention of the further progression or worsening of those symptoms, or the prevention or treatment of a disease or disorder in an individual at risk of developing the disorder or disease.

[0125] The compounds of the present invention and optional additional active substances are generally administered in a manner similar to commercially available formulations. Typically, suitable therapeutically effective doses are in the range of 0.0005 mg to 1000 mg per dose unit, preferably 0.005 mg to 500 mg, and particularly 0.5 mg to 100 mg. The daily dose is preferably between about 0.001 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg body weight.

[0126] Those skilled in the art should readily understand that dosage can vary depending on the specific compound, the severity of symptoms, and individual susceptibility to side effects. Some specific compounds are more effective than others. The preferred dosage of a given compound can be readily determined by those skilled in the art through various means. A preferred means is to measure the physiological potency of the given compound.

[0127] However, the specific dosage for an individual patient (especially a specific human patient) depends on numerous factors, such as the efficacy of the particular compound used, age, weight, general health condition, sex, diet, timing and route of administration, excretion rate, type of drug and dosage form to be administered, drug combination, and the severity of the specific disorder involved in the therapy. The specific therapeutically effective dosage for an individual patient can be readily determined, for example, by the physician or doctor advising or involved in the therapeutic treatment through routine experiments.

[0128] The compounds of the present invention can be prepared using suitable materials according to the procedures described in the following figures and examples, and are further illustrated by the following specific examples. They can also be prepared by methods known per se as described in the literature, specifically under reaction conditions known and suitable for the reactions.

The starting materials of the claimed and / or methods employed may, if necessary, be formed in situ by immediately further converting them into the compounds or intermediates of the present invention without separating them from the reaction mixture. Alternatively, the reaction can generally be carried out stepwise.

[0130] Those skilled in the art will recognize that some Formula I compounds can serve as starting materials for the preparation of other Formula I compounds. For example, Formula I compounds with carboxylic acid functional groups can be readily converted into related Formula I compounds with amide functional groups using appropriate synthetic methods.

[0131] Preferably, the reaction of the compound is carried out in the presence of a suitable solvent, which is preferably inert under the corresponding reaction conditions.

[0303] The following compounds (provided as enantiomers in Table 1A) have been isolated from stereochemical mixtures containing these compounds under the following chromatographic (HPLC or SFC) separation conditions (Rt = retention time): .

[0304] Biological data SK-HEP-1 reporter assay To identify inhibitors of YAP-TEAD interaction, an 8xTEAD response element driving the NanoLuc® luciferase gene was stably integrated into SK-HEP-1 cells (ECACC #: 91091816). For the assay, cells were treated in duplicate with 10-point doses of the test compound, with the highest concentration starting at 30 µM (the final concentration in the assay). After culturing at 37°C, 95% rH, and 5% CO2 for 24 hours, the luciferase substrate / lysis reagent mixture (NanoLuc®) was used. TM Promega is added to cells, thereby allowing for the quantification of cytoluciferase activity.

[0305] Cell culture medium: Cells were cultured in the following medium: MEM, +10% FBS, +1×GlutaMAX, +1 mM sodium pyruvate, +100 µM non-essential amino acids, +0.1 mg / ml hygromycin. The medium used for analysis was: MEM (phenol red-free), +10% FBS, +1×GlutaMAX, +1 mM sodium pyruvate, +100 µM non-essential amino acids, +0.5% penicillin / streptomycin.

[0306] Reagents: The reagents used are listed below: .

[0307] Cell culture: Use an inverted microscope to examine the cells to assess their health and density. To separate the adherent cells, wash the monolayer once with preheated PBS. After removing the PBS, add 3 ml of preheated Accutase® to the F75 culture flask, disperse evenly, and allow the flask to stand in the incubator for approximately 4–5 minutes.

[0308] Once a single-cell suspension is obtained, add 7 ml of preheated growth medium and resuspend the cells together. Transfer the cell suspension to a sterile 15 ml conical centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 300 × g for 5 min at room temperature. Discard the supernatant and resuspend the pellet in 10 ml of preheated growth medium.

[0309] Determine the total cell count and add 20 µl of the desired cell count to each well of a 384-well plate using Multidrop Combi. The plate is then incubated at 37°C, 95% rH, and 5% CO2 for 24 hours.

[0310] Compound treatment: 24 hours after inoculation, the cells were treated with a compound.

[0311] Prepare a 1:333 dilution of the compound in DMSO to obtain a final concentration of 0.3% DMSO per well. To transfer the compound to the analytical plate, inject 120 nl from a Labcyte low-volume dish into a cell plate containing 20 µl of culture medium per well using an ECHO 555 liquid handling system.

[0312] After treatment, 20 µl of fresh, preheated analytical medium was fed into the cells using a Multidrop combi.

[0313] The analytical plate was then incubated at 37°C, 95% rH and 5% CO2 for another 24 hours.

[0314] Luciferase reading: 24 h after treatment, remove the plate from the incubator and allow it to equilibrate to room temperature. Add 30 µl of NanoGlo® reagent to the plate in the dark. Shake the plate on a Teleshake (approximately 1500 rpm) for 20 min in the dark. Then measure the temperature using an EnVision multi-plate reader.
