Description

SUBSTITUTED SULTAM COMPOUND DERIVATIVES AND THEIR PHARMACEUTICAL USE

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to a technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to sultam derivates with inhibitory effects on polymerase theta, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, and preparation methods and uses thereof.

[0002] DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are detrimental to cells as they contribute to genome instability, which can induce cell death. To repair DSBs, three pathways are performed in cells: non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), homologous recombination (HR), and theta-mediated end-joining (TMEJ). The NHEJ pathway joins the broken ends of DNA strands together without using a homologous template. The HR and TMEJ pathways have commonality in that they both use a homologous sequence. However, HR is a high-fidelity DNA repair pathway, and TMEJ is an error-prone DNA repair pathway that uses microhomologies.

[0003] The TMEJ pathway involves poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase PARP1, DNA ligase III, and Polymerase theta. Polymerase theta (Polθ, encoded byPOLQ) is a 290kDa polymerase A family enzyme, and is known to mediate the TMEJ pathway (Feng et al., 2019, Nature Communication, 10:4286). Polθ possesses a N-terminal helicase-like domain and a C-terminal DNA polymerase domain separated by a non-structured central amino acid sequence. In the TMEJ pathway, the helicase domain of Polθ acts to displace Replication Protein A (RPA) bound to a single strand DNA overhang and facilitate annealing of micro-homologous sequences that flank a DSB. Then, the polymerase domain of Polθ acts to initiate DNA synthesis to fill in gaps (Zatreanu et al., 2021, Nature Communication, 12:3636).

[0004] The TMEJ pathway is also known as alternative NHEJ (alt-NHEJ) pathway or microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ) pathway (Zatreanu et al., 2021, Nature Communication, 12:3636). The TMEJ pathway serves as an essential backup pathway in the event that the NHEJ or HR pathway is compromised (Higgins, G. S. et al., 2018. Science, 359(6381), 1217-1218). Accordingly, DNA-repair deficient cancers are dependent on other compensatory repair pathway, and HR- or NHEJ-deficient cancers are dependent on the TMEJ backup pathway. Based on the above mechanism, PARP inhibitors (PARPi) were developed, and HR-deficient tumors have been successfully treated by way of applying PARPi. However, PARPi often face the issue of developing resistance (Drzewiecka et al., 2022, Genes, 13:1101; and Higgins, G. S. et al., 2018. Science, 359(6381), 1217-1218).

[0005] Currently, polθ has been identified as another promising therapeutic target for cancers. While polθ is overexpressed in various cancers, it is little expressed (largely absent) in normal cells (Higgins, G. S. et al., 2018. Science, 359(6381), 1217-1218; and Ceccaldi et al., 2015, Nature, 518:258). Indeed, human neoplasms including those of the lung, stomach, small intestine, rectum, and colon overexpress polθ, and the expression level of polθ is particularly high in lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer and gastric cancer, etc. (Drzewiecka et al., 2022, Genes, 13:1101; and Higgins, G. S. et al., 2018. Science, 359(6381), 1217-1218). Furthermore,in vivotests demonstrated HR-deficient tumors are hypersensitive to inhibition of Polθ-mediated DNA repair, leading to synthetic lethality (Ceccaldi et al., 2015, Nature, 518:258; and Drzewiecka et al., 2022, Genes, 13:1101). Polθ depletion causes both HR-proficient and HR-deficient tumor cells to become more sensitive to other treatments such as radiation or chemotherapy (Drzewiecka et al., 2022, Genes, 13:1101, and Goullet de Rugy T et al., 2016, Biology open, 5(10), 1485-1492).

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to develop new polθ inhibitors that effectively inhibit the TMEJ pathway and can be used for treating cancer.

[0007] The present disclosure provides novel sultam (cyclic sulfonamides) derivatives, compositions comprising the same, and preparation methods and uses thereof. The sultam derivatives have an inhibitory activity for polymerase theta, and can be effectively used for treating various types of cancers.

[0727]

[0728]

[0729] As used herein, the term "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" refers to structural isomers of different energies which are interconvertible via a low energy barrier. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions via migration of a proton, such as keto-enol and imine-enamine isomerizations. Valence tautomers include interconversions by reorganization of some of the bonding electrons.

[0730] As used herein, the term "stereoisomers" refers to compounds that have identical chemical constitution, but differ with regard to the arrangement of the atoms or groups in space. Stereoisomers include diastereomers, enantiomers, conformers and the like.

[0731] As used herein, the term "diastereomer" refers to a stereoisomer with two or more centers of chirality and whose molecules are not mirror images of one another. Diastereomers have different physical properties, e.g., melting points, boiling points, spectral properties or biological activities. Mixtures of diastereomers may be separated into each stereoisomer under high resolution analytical procedures such as electrophoresis and chromatography such as HPLC.

[0732] As used herein, the term "enantiomers" refers to two stereoisomers of a compound which are non-superimposable mirror images of one another.

[0733] Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow S. P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., "Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds", John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994. Many organic compounds may exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of polarization of plane-polarized light. For describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L, or R and S, are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and 1 or (+) and (-) denote the direction in which plane of the polarized light is rotated. A compound prefixed by (-) or 1 is levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer may also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or a racemate, which may occur where there has been no stereoselection or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process. The terms "racemic mixture" and "racemate" refer to an equimolar mixture of two enantiomeric species, devoid of optical activity.

[0734] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the organic compounds can form complexes with solvents in which they are reacted or from which they are precipitated or crystallized. These complexes are known as "solvates." Where the solvent is water, the complex is known as "hydrate." The present disclosure encompasses all solvates of the compounds disclosed herein. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether, etc. The compounds described herein can be prepared, for example, in crystalline form, and can be solvated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. In some cases, the solvates will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. "Solvate" means both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates and methanolates.

[0735] The term "hydrate" refers to a compound that is associated with water. Generally, the number of water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is in a definite ratio to the number of the compound molecules in the hydrate. Therefore, hydrates of a compound can be represented, for example, by a general formula R·x H2O, wherein R denotes the compound, and x is a number greater than 0. Given compounds can form more than one type of hydrate, including, for example, monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than 0 and smaller than 1, for example, hemihydrates (R·0.5 H2O)) and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than 1, for example, dihydrates (R·2 H2O) and hexahydrates (R·6 H2O)).

[0736] Compounds disclosed herein may be in an amorphous or crystalline form (crystal form or polymorph). Furthermore, the compounds disclosed herein may exist in one or more crystalline forms. Therefore, the scope of the present disclosure includes all amorphous or crystalline forms of the compounds disclosed herein. The term "polymorph" refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof) in a particular crystal packing arrangement. All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms generally have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shapes, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Recrystallization solvents, rate of crystallization, storage temperatures, and other factors may cause one crystalline form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.

[0737] As used herein, the term "isotope variant" refers to a compound that contains proportions of isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compound that are greater in abundance than is natural. For example, an "isotopic variant" of a compound can be radiolabeled, that is, contain one or more radioactive isotopes, or can be labeled with non-radioactive isotopes such as for example, deuterium (2H or D), carbon-13 (13C), nitrogen-15 (15N), or the like. It will be understood that, in a compound where such isotopic substitution is made, the following atoms, where present, may vary, so that for example, any hydrogen may be 2H / D, any carbon may be 13C, or any nitrogen may be 15N, and that the presence and placement of such atoms may be determined by those skilled in the art.

[0738] As used herein, the term "prodrug" refers to substances that can be converted, under physiological conditions or through solvolysis, into the compound of the present disclosure having biological activity. The prodrug of the present disclosure is prepared by modifying the functional groups in the compound, and the modification can be removed by conventional operations or removed in vivo, to obtain the compound of the present disclosure. The prodrug includes a compound which is formed by connecting a hydroxyl group or amino group in the compound of the present disclosure to any group. When the prodrug of the compound of the present disclosure is administered to a mammalian individual, the prodrug is dissociated to form a free hydroxyl or amino group.

[0739] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt which is, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and is commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0740] Certain compounds disclosed herein can exist in the form of salts, for example acid addition salts, or salts with organic or inorganic bases such as carboxylate, sulfonate and phosphate salts. All such salts are within the scope of this invention, and references to compounds disclosed herein include the salt forms of the compounds.

[0741] The salts of the present invention can be synthesized from the parent compound that contains a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods such as methods described in Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use, P. Heinrich Stahl (Editor), Camille G. Wermuth (Editor), ISBN: 3-90639-026-8, Hardcover, 388 pages, August 2002. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base form of the parent compound with the appropriate base or acid in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two; generally, non-aqueous media such as ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile are used. Acid addition salts (e.g., mono - or di- salts) may be formed with a wide variety of acids, both inorganic and organic. Examples of acid addition salts include mono- or di- salts formed with an acid selected from the group consisting of acetic, 2,2-dichloroacetic, adipic, alginic, ascorbic (e.g. L-ascorbic), L-aspartic, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, 4-acetamidobenzoic, butanoic, (+) camphoric, camphor-sulfonic, (+)-(1S)-camphor-10-sulfonic, capric, caproic, caprylic, cinnamic, citric, cyclamic, dodecylsulfuric, ethane-1 ,2-disulfonic, ethanesulfonic, 2- hydroxyethanesulfonic, formic, fumaric, galactaric, gentisic, glucoheptonic, D-gluconic, glucuronic (e.g. D-glucuronic), glutamic (e.g. L-glutamic), a-oxoglutaric, glycolic, hippuric, hydrohalic acids (e.g. hydrobromic, hydrochloric, hydriodic), isethionic, lactic (e.g. (+)-L- lactic, (±)-DL-lactic), lactobionic, maleic, malic, (-)-L-malic, malonic, (±)-DL-mandelic, methanesulfonic, naphthalene-2-sulfonic, naphthalene-1, 5-disulfonic, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic, nicotinic, nitric, oleic, orotic, oxalic, palmitic, pamoic, phosphoric, propionic, pyruvic, L- pyroglutamic, salicylic, 4-amino-salicylic, sebacic, stearic, succinic, sulfuric, tannic, (+)-L- tartaric, thiocyanic, p-toluenesulfonic, undecylenic, valeric acids, and acylated amino acids.

[0742] One particular group of salts consists of salts formed from acetic, hydrochloric, hydriodic, phosphoric, nitric, sulfuric, citric, lactic, succinic, maleic, malic, isethionic, fumaric, benzenesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic (mesylate), ethanesulfonic, naphthalenesulfonic, valeric, acetic, propanoic, butanoic, malonic, glucuronic and lactobionic acids. One particular salt is a hydrochloride salt.

[0743] Where the compounds disclosed herein contain an amine function, the compound may form quaternary ammonium salts, for example by reaction with an alkylating agent according to methods well known to those skilled in the art. Such quaternary ammonium compounds are within the scope of the compounds disclosed herein.

[0744] The compounds of the invention may exist as mono- or di- salts depending upon the pKa of the acid from which the salt is formed.

[0745] It will be appreciated that for use in medicine the salts of the compounds disclosed herein should be pharmaceutically acceptable. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those described by Berge, Bighley and Monkhouse, J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, pp. 1-19. Such pharmaceutically acceptable salts include acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids e.g., hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric acid, phosphoric acid sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid and organic acids e.g., succinic, maleic, acetic, oxalic, malonic, fumaric, citric, tartaric, benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic or naphthalenesulfonic acid.

[0999] Therapeutic utilities

[1000] The terms "treat", "treating", "treatment" and the like refer to a course of action (such as administering an inhibitor of Polθ or a pharmaceutical composition comprising same) initiated after a disease, disorder or condition, or a symptom thereof, has been diagnosed, observed, and the like so as to eliminate, reduce, suppress, mitigate, or ameliorate, either temporarily or permanently, at least one of the underlying causes of a disease, disorder, or condition afflicting a subject, or at least one of the symptoms associated with a disease, disorder, condition afflicting a subject. Thus, "treatment" may also refer to inhibiting (e.g., arresting the development or further development of the disease, disorder or condition or clinical symptoms association therewith) an active disease.

[1001] The terms "prevent", "preventing", "prevention" and the like refer to a course of action (such as administering a Polθ inhibitor or a pharmaceutical composition comprising same) initiated in a manner (e.g., prior to the onset of a disease, disorder, condition or symptom thereof) so as to prevent, suppress, inhibit or reduce, either temporarily or permanently, a subject's risk of developing a disease, disorder, condition or the like (as determined by, for example, the absence of clinical symptoms) or delaying the onset thereof, generally in the context of a subject predisposed to having a particular disease, disorder or condition. In certain instances, the terms also refer to slowing the progression of the disease, disorder or condition or inhibiting the progression of the disease, disorder or condition such that it does not reach a harmful or otherwise undesired state.

[1002] The terms "inhibiting" and "reducing," or any variation of these terms in relation of Polθ, may refer to any measurable decrease or complete inhibition to achieve a desired result. For example, there may be a decrease in Polθ activity of about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or more, compared to a control group. The term "about" as used herein means variations within ± 20%, preferably, within ± 10%, more preferably within ± 5% of a given value.

[1003] "Disease", "disorder" and "condition" are used interchangeably herein.

[1004] The present disclosure provides a compound that prevents or treats a disease or disorder mediated by Polθ or a disease or disorder in which Polθ activity is implicated.

[1005] For some embodiments, the disease or disorder mediated by Polθ is any of proliferative disorders. The term "proliferative disorders" is used interchangeably herein and pertains to an unwanted or uncontrolled cellular proliferation of excessive or abnormal cells which is undesired, such as, neoplastic or hyperplastic growth, whether in vitro or in vivo. Examples of proliferative conditions include, but are not limited to, pre-malignant and malignant cellular proliferation, including but not limited to, malignant neoplasms and tumors, cancers, leukemias, psoriasis, bone diseases, fibroproliferative disorders (e.g., of connective tissues), and atherosclerosis.

[1006] For some embodiments, the disease or disorder mediated by Polθ is any of HR-deficient cancers, including BRCA1- and BRCA2-deficient cancer, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer (J. Med. Chem. 2022, 65, 19, 13198-13215), prostate cancer (Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2020 Dec 1;1866(12):165954.), pancreas cancer (Cancers (Basel) 2022 Aug 23;14(17):4077), and lung cancer (Cancers 2019, 11(5), 722). The present compound, composition and method may further enhance the efficacy of cancer therapies with at least one of the following modes of action (MOAs): (1) therapeutic mode that induces DNA damage, (2) therapeutic mode that modulates cell cycles, and (3) therapeutic mode that inhibits components involved in DNA damage responses (DDRs).

[1007] In a cancer treatment, the therapeutically effective amount of the compound of Formula (I) provided herein is an amount sufficient to provide therapeutic benefits during the course of the treatment, or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with cancer. In a cancer treatment, the therapeutically effective amount of a compound is the amount of the therapeutic agent that, when used alone or in combination with other therapies, provides such therapeutic benefits during the course of the treatment.

[1008] Effective amounts of the compound of the present disclosure vary depending upon many different factors, including means of administration, target site, physiological state of the patient, whether the patient is human or an animal, other medications administered, whether treatment is prophylactic or therapeutic, as well as the specific activity of the composition itself and its ability to elicit the desired response in the individual. In the context of this disclosure, the patient can be a human or non-human mammal. Typically, dosage regimens are adjusted to provide an optimum therapeutic response, i.e., to optimize safety and efficacy. Accordingly, a therapeutically effective amount is also one of which any undesired collateral effects are outweighed by the beneficial effects of administering the compound as described herein.

[1009]

[1010] Pharmaceutical compositions

[1011] The terms "combination", "combined", and related terms refer to the simultaneous, separate or sequential administration of two or more therapeutic agents or therapies. For example, the compound disclosed herein may be administered with another therapeutic agent or therapy simultaneously or sequentially in separate unit dosage forms, or together in a single unit dosage form. The another therapy may be radiotherapy. The another therapeutic agent may be an anti-cancer agent. The anti-cancer agent may include DNA damage response (DDR) targeting anti-cancer agents. The DNA damage response (DDR) is a collective term for the plethora of different intra- and inter-cellular signaling events and enzyme activities that result from the induction and detection of DNA damage. There are at least three key aspects of DDR that are different in cancers compared with normal cells, which in turn make DDR an attractive source for drug targets that can (and indeed currently are) being exploited to generate new cancer therapies. Loss of one or more DDR pathways, increased replication stress, and higher levels of endogenous DNA damage are all differentiating aspects of cancer DDR that can be targeted therapeutically. A number of anti-cancer agents targeting DDR have been known and developed, e.g., PARP inhibitors (e.g., niraparib, olaparib, rucaparib, talazoparib, veliparib, E7016), ATR inhibitors (e.g., VE-821, VE-822, VX-970 (also known as M6620 or berzosertib), AZD6738 (e.g., ceralasertib), BAY 1895344, M4344), ATM inhibitors (e.g., AZD0156, AZD0156, AZD1390, M3541), DNA-PK Inhibitors (e.g., CC-115, M3814 (nedisertib or peposertib), AZD7648), CHK1 / 2 Inhibitors (e.g., UCN-01, AZD7762, LY2603618, MK-8776, GDC-0575, LY2606368 (e.g., prexasertib)), WEE1 Inhibitors (e.g., Adavosertib (e.g., MK-1775, or AZD1775), PLK1 Inhibitors (e.g., Volasertib (BI 6727), Onvansertib (e.g., PCM-075, NMS-1286937), APE1 inhibitors (e.g., methoxyamine), Topoisomerase inhibitors (e.g., belotecan, CRLX101, irinotecan, LMP 400, LMP 776, NKTR-102, doxorubicin, epirubicin, etoposide, idarubicin, mitoxantrone, teniposide), etc. (see Mark J.

The Polθ product was prepared by mixing Oligo3 (5' - CGC GGC TGT CAT AAG ACG CAA TCT GAG ATT TGA TGC CAT TGT CAA TGT AGC - 3') and Oligo2 (5' - GCT ACA TTG ACA ATG GCA TCA AAT CTC AGA TTG CGT CTT ATG ACA GCC GCG - 3') to achieve the final concentration of 20uM. The polθ product was used for the top signal control in the Picogreen assay. Both substrate and product were heated to 95℃ for 5 minutes and cooled slowly to room temperature.

[1433]

[1434] 2) Picogreen assay

[1435] To evaluate the ability of test compounds to inhibit the activity of polθ in vitro, a Picogreen assay was performed to measure polθ IC50(nM).

Thirty microliters of 2Xpolymerase mixture (8 nM Pol θ enzyme in an assay buffer) were distributed to 96 well plates, test compounds were prepared by dilution in 100% DMSO to obtain the correct dose range for a 12-point concentration response and 1μl was dispensed into each well, and then 30 microliters of 2Xsubstrate mix (100nM DNA and 40uM dNTPs in an assay buffer) was added. After 90 minutes of incubation, the reaction was stopped and DNA was stained by adding 40 microliters of Picogreen solution (1:80 dilution of Picogreen, Invitrogen, Cat# P7581, 25mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 10mM EDTA, pH 7.5).

[1437] The fluorescence intensity was measured at excitation / emission=485nm / 520nm using an Ensight plate reader (Perkin Elmer). The data was analyzed by GraphPad Prism software (Version 8.4.3) to calculate IC50.

[1438] The compounds of Examples 1 to 43 were tested in the above-mentioned assay, and the results are shown in the following table:

[1441] As the above Table demonstrates, it is demonstrated that the tested compounds exhibit good activity in inhibiting the Polθ polymerase.

[1442]

[1443] 3) Cell viability assay

[1444] DLD1-BRCA2 KO (Horizon Discovery, Cat# HD 105-007) cells and DLD1-parental cells were maintained in culture media (RPMI-1640 including 2mM L-glutamin and 25mM sodium bicarbonate, supplemented with 10% FBS), at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. Cells were seeded at the final concentration of 1,500 cells / well (DLD1-BRCA2 KO) and 600 cells / well (DLD1-parental) in a 96-well plate. Four hours later, test compounds were added (the final concentration of DMSO was 1%) to the cells. Media were replaced every 3-4 days for 14 days. To measure viability, cells were incubated in culture media supplemented with 0.1mg / ml of Resazurin (Merck, Cat# R7017) for 4 hours. The fluorescence was measured at Ex / Em=560nm / 590nm using an EnSight multimode plate reader (Perkin Elmer). Data analysis and IC50calculation were done using GraphPad Prism (Version 10.0.2). Results: IC50values determined for select compounds of the invention are presented in the Table below.
