MODULATORS OF BCL6 AS LIGAND DIRECTED DEGRADERS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 63 / 595,081, filed on November 1, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for any purpose. FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure relates generally to compounds, compositions, and methods for their preparation and use of the compounds and compositions for treating cancer or an autoimmune disease. BACKGROUND
[0003] BCL6 (B cell lymphoma 6) is a member of the BTB / POZ-zinc finger family that contains an N-terminal BTB / POZ domain and a zinc finger at the C-terminus. As a transcription factor for T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, BCL6 is required for germinal center (GC) formation of naïve B cells and hence antibody affinity maturation. BCL6 was initially discovered as an oncogene in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) and its role has been implicated in many types of diseases including B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, breast cancer, and non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) (Cardenas et al., Clin Cancer Res 2017, 23, 885- 893). The N-terminal BTB / POZ domain binds to and recruits of co-repressor molecules such as SMRT, NCOR1, and BCOR, to form class I and II histone deacetylase complexes, and the C- terminal zinc fingers bind to specific DNA recognition sequences (Yang et al., Cell Dev. Biol. 2019, 7, 272). Upon binding to its target genes and forming complexes, BCL6 reduces RNA expression of its targets, including several key tumor supressors. Over-expression of BCL6, common in malignanies such as Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), leads to ectopic repression of cell cycle and DNA repair checkpoint proteins, causing unrestricted cell proliferation and tumorgenesis.
[0004] GC reponses are known to result in increased production of pathogenic autoantibodies which are responsible for several diseases, suggesting that methods to suppress or degrade BCL6 hold potential therapeutic applicability. Structural characterization of the cocrystal structures of the BCL6 BTB / POZ domain and co-repressors has shown that binding occurs at the lateral grooves formed by the interface between BCL6 BTB / POZ homodimers (Melnick et al., Mol. Cell Biol.2002, 22, 1804-1818; Ghetu et al., Mol. Cell.2008, 29, 384-391). Since then, specific ligands that bind to this site have been investigated, purposed to exploit the binding affinity towards the lateral grooves to render BCL6 as a druggable target.
[0005] Protein degradation is a highly regulated and essential process that maintains cellularhomeostasis. Selective identification and removal of damaged, misfolded, or excess proteins is achieved through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP). The UPP is central to the regulation of almost all cellular processes. Ubiquitination of the protein is accomplished by an E3 ubiquitin ligase that binds to a protein and adds ubiquitin molecules to the protein, thus marking the protein for proteasome degradation.
[0006] Harnessing the UPP for therapeutic use has received significant interest (Zhou et al., Mol. Cell 2000, 6, 751-756). One promising therapy uses proteolysis targeting chimeras, commonly referred to as PROTACs, to effect removal of unwanted proteins by protein degradation (Scheepstra et al., Comp. Struct. Biotech. J.2019, 17, 160-176). PROTACS are ligand directed degraders that bring together an E3 ligase and a target protein that is to be degraded. These bivalent molecules usually consist of an E3 ligase ligand connected through a linker moiety to small molecule that binds to the target protein. A PROTAC positions the E3 ligase at the appropriate distance and orientation to the target protein, allowing the latter to be ubiquitinated. The ubiquitinated target protein is subsequently recognized by the proteasome, where it is degraded.
[0007] Accordingly, in one aspect, provided herein are compounds that target BCL6 for degradation. SUMMARY

All suchisomeric forms are included within the embodiments disclosed herein, including mixtures thereof.
[0073] The use of stereoisomerically pure forms of the compounds disclosed herein, as well as the use of mixtures of those forms, are encompassed by the embodiments disclosed herein. For example, mixtures comprising equal or unequal amounts of the enantiomers of a particular compound may be used in methods and compositions disclosed herein. These isomers may be asymmetrically synthesized or resolved using standard techniques such as chiral columns or chiral resolving agents.

[0074] “Tautomers” refers to isomeric forms of a compound that are in equilibrium with each other. The concentrations of the isomeric forms will depend on the environment the compound is found in and may be different depending upon, for example, whether the compound is a solid or is in an organic or aqueous solution. For example, in aqueous solution, pyrazoles may exhibit the following isomeric forms, which are referred to as tautomers of each other:.
[0075] As readily understood by one skilled in the art, a wide variety of functional groups and other stuctures may exhibit tautomerism and all tautomers of compounds of Formula (I) are within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0076] Polymers or similar indefinite structures arrived at by defining substituents with further substituents appended ad infinitum (e.g., a substituted aryl having a substituted alkyl which is itself substituted with a substituted aryl group, which is further substituted by a substituted heteroalkyl group, etc.) are not intended for inclusion herein. Similarly, the above definitions are not intended to include impermissible substitution patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with 5 fluorines or heteroaryl groups having two adjacent oxygen ring atoms). Such impermissible substitution patterns are well known to the skilled artisan.
[0077] It should also be noted the compounds disclosed herein can contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I), sulfur-35 (35S), or carbon-14 (14C), or may be isotopically enriched, such as with deuterium (2H), carbon-13 (13C), or nitrogen-15 (15N). As used herein, an “isotopologue” is an isotopically enriched compound. The term “isotopically enriched” refers to an atom having an isotopic composition other than the natural isotopic composition of that atom. “Isotopically enriched” may also refer to a compound containing at least one atom having an isotopic composition other than the natural isotopic composition of that atom. The term “isotopic composition” refers to the amount of each isotope present for a given atom. Radiolabeled and isotopically encriched compounds are useful as therapeutic agents, e.g., cancer therapeutic agents, research reagents, e.g., binding assay reagents, and diagnostic agents, e.g., in vivo imaging agents. All isotopic variations of the compounds as described herein, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the embodiments provided herein. In some embodiments, there are provided isotopologues of the compounds disclosed herein, for example, the isotopologues are deuterium, carbon-13, and / or nitrogen-15 enriched compounds. As used herein, “deuterated”, means a compound wherein at least one hydrogen (H) has been replaced by deuterium (indicated by D or2H), that is, the compound is enriched in deuterium in at least one position.
[0078] The disclosure also includes “deuterated analogs” of compounds described herein in which from 1 to n hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is / are replaced by deuterium, in which n is the number of hydrogens in the molecule. When multiple deuterium atoms are present in a compound, the deuterium atoms may be on the same portion of the molecule (for example, on a single alkyl group or on a single ring) or on different portions of the molecule (for example, on separate alkyl groups or separate rings). Such compounds may exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and thus may be useful for increasing the half-life of any compound when administered to a mammal, particularly a human. See, for example, Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism,” Trends Pharmacol. Sci.5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium.
