Description

Detailed description of the invention

[0001] This disclosure relates to a method for treating a patient with cancer in which one or more cells express a KRas G12C mutant protein, comprising administering to a patient in need an effective amount of a KRAS G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof together with an Aurora A kinase inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to treat cancers such as lung cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, bile duct cancer, or esophageal cancer.

[0002] Oncogenic KRas mutations have been identified in approximately 30% of human cancers and have been shown to activate multiple downstream signaling pathways. Despite the prevalence of KRas mutations, they remain a challenging therapeutic target. (Cox, ADDrugging the Undruggable RAS: Mission Possible? Nat. Rev. Drug Disc. 2014, 13, 828-851; Pylayeva-Gupta, y et al. RAS Oncogenes: Weaving a Tumorigenic Web. Nat. Rev. Cancer 2011, 11, 761-774).

[0003] WO2015 / 054572 and WO2016 / 164675 disclose certain quinazoline derivatives that can bind to KRAS G12C. WO2016 / 044772 also discloses methods using such quinazoline derivatives. WO2020 / 0081282 and WO2021 / 118877 disclose KRAS G12C inhibitors. WO2018 / 206539 and WO2020 / 178282 disclose certain heteroaryl compounds that can bind to the KRAS G12C oncoprotein.

[0004] Aurora kinase consists of three highly conserved serine / threonine isoforms, Aurora A, B, and C, which regulate mitosis and meiosis and play a clear role in cell cycle progression. Inhibition of Aurora A kinase activity severely impairs mitotic progression through activation of the mitotic checkpoint, resulting in defects in mitotic spindle formation and prometaphase arrest, followed by cell death via apoptotic pathways. Amplification or overexpression of the oncogenic Aurora A gene, AURKA, has been observed in a wide range of cancers.

[0005] Aurora A inhibitors are also known in the art. WO2008 / 026768, EP2062887, and WO2009 / 104802 disclose certain aminopyridine compounds having selective inhibitory activity against Aurora A. WO2013 / 129443 discloses certain piperidine compounds having selective inhibitory activity against Aurora A. WO2016 / 077161 and WO2020 / 112514 disclose certain aminopyridine compounds that inhibit Aurora A.

[0006] The (2R,4R)-1-[(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)methyl]-4-[[3-fluoro-6-[(5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-yl)amino]-2-pyridyl]methyl]-2-methyl-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid:2-methylpropan-2-amine (1:1) salt is as follows: [ka]

[0007] Aurora A inhibitors are potent selective inhibitors of Aurora A.

[0008] As described in WO2016 / 077161 and WO2020 / 112514, after administration of (2R,4R)-1-[(3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)methyl]-4-[[3-fluoro-6-[(5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-yl)amino]-2-pyridyl]methyl]-2-methyl-piperidine-4-carboxylic acid:2-methylpropan-2-amine (1:1) salt to mice transplanted with xenografts and to PDX models, tumor growth arrest or regression was observed in several tumor types.

[0009] In vitro studies of combined inhibition of KRAS G12C with Aurora A using commercially available inhibitors have demonstrated synergistic antiproliferative and antitumor effects. See Lito et al., Rapid non-uniform adaptation to conformation-specific KRAS G12C inhibition, Nature. 2020 January;577(7790):421-425.

[0010] There remains a need to provide small molecule combinations of KRAS G12C inhibitors and Aurora A inhibitors. Specifically, there is a need to provide more potent, orally deliverable KRAS G12C inhibitors and Aurora A inhibitors useful for cancer treatment. More specifically, there is a need to provide small molecule inhibitor combinations that specifically inhibit KRas GTP activity and Aurora A activity. There is also a need to provide small molecule KRAS G12C inhibitor and Aurora A inhibitor combinations that exhibit synergistic antiproliferative and antitumor effects. Furthermore, there is a desire to provide KRAS G12C inhibitor and Aurora A inhibitor combinations that overcome avoidance of KRAS inhibitor therapy. There is also a need to provide KRAS G12C inhibitor and Aurora A inhibitor combinations that exhibit increased efficacy with reduced or minimized adverse or undesirable effects. This disclosure addresses one or more of these needs by providing KRAS G12C inhibitor and Aurora A inhibitor combinations, as well as methods and uses of such combinations.

All substituents are as previously defined unless otherwise indicated, and all reagents are well known and understood in the art.

[0112] The compounds or salts of this disclosure can be prepared by combining specific synthesis steps of each described pathway in different ways, or by combining them with steps of different pathways. The products of each step in the following preparations can be recovered by conventional methods, including extraction, evaporation, precipitation, chromatography, filtration, grinding, and crystallization.

[0113] The compounds of this disclosure can be prepared by several methods well known to those skilled in the art of organic synthesis. For example, the compounds of this disclosure can be synthesized using the following methods, along with synthetic methods known in the field of organic synthesis chemistry as understood by those skilled in the art, or variations thereof. Preferred methods include, but are not limited to, the methods described below.

[0114] The compounds of this disclosure can be synthesized according to the steps outlined in the following schemes 1 to 1a, which include partially intermediates or different construction sequences of the compounds.

[0115] In step 1 of scheme 1, protected piperazine-2-ethanol, compound (1), is coupled with 4-bromo-2,5-difluorobenzoic acid, compound (2), in amide bond formation using a coupling reagent such as CDMT together with an organic base such as NMM and an inorganic base such as K2CO3 in a solvent system such as acetonitrile and water. R is a protecting group developed for amino groups such as carbamates and amides. Protecting groups such as carbamate protecting groups including allyloxycarbonyl, fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl, or benzyloxycarbonyl are well known and recognized in the art. A generally preferred protecting group can be Boc. Those skilled in the art will recognize that there are several methods and reagents for amide formation resulting from the reaction of carboxylic acids and amines.

Other coupling reagents include carbodiimides, such as DCC, DIC, EDCI, or carbonyldiimidazoles, such as CDI. The reaction can also be enhanced using amide coupling additives such as HOBt and HOAt. In addition, uronium or phosphonium salts of non-nucleophilic anions such as HBTU, HATU, PyBOP, and PyBrOP can be used instead of more traditional coupling reagents. The reaction can be enhanced using additives such as DMAP. Alternatively, compound (3) can be obtained by using an acid chloride of compound (2) in the presence of a base such as TEA or pyridine.

[0116] In step 2, the intramolecular cyclization of compound (3) is completed using a suitable base such as potassium tert-butoxide, sodium tert-amilate, sodium tert-butoxide, sodium tert-pentoxide, DIPEA, TEA, DBU, or sodium hydride in a solvent such as DMF to obtain compound 4. Other possible solvents may be NMP, DMAc, DMSO, and THF. This intramolecular cyclization from compound (3) to compound (4) can be carried out by slowly adding a solution of compound (3) to an excess of both bases to minimize impurities from intermolecular reactions.

[0117] In step 3, compound (4) is chlorinated under acidic conditions using an acid such as TFA together with a chlorinating agent such as trichloroisocyanuric acid or NCS in a solvent such as acetonitrile or DMF to obtain compound (5). [ka]

[0156] Biological assays The following assays demonstrate that the compound combination described herein is a KRas G12C inhibitor and inhibits the growth of certain tumors in vitro and / or in vivo.

[0157] Example 1: Protocol for KRAS G12C inhibitor combined with Aurora A inhibitor The objective of these studies was to evaluate the antitumor growth activity of KRAS G12C inhibitors in combination with Aurora A inhibitors in human NSCLC tumor xenograft or PDX models carrying KRAS G12C mutations. In cell proliferation assays, synergistic or additive effects were observed with KRAS G12C inhibitors in combination with Aurora A inhibitors. In animal models, KRAS G12C inhibitors showed dose-dependent and time-dependent inhibition of KRAS activity and downstream signaling, resulting in significant tumor growth inhibition / regression in a panel of KRAS G12C mutant NSCLC, CRC, and PDAC xenograft and PDX models. In addition, KRAS G12C inhibitors showed an additive effect in KRAS G12C mutants in in vivo models when combined with Aurora A inhibitors.

[0158] KRAS G12C inhibitors also showed varying degrees of antitumor activity in KRAS G12C mutant animal models. Combining KRAS G12C inhibitors with other therapies yielded superior clinical activity, achieving more sustained responses in a wider range of tumors. KRAS G12C inhibitor combinations were evaluated in multiple KRAS G12C mutant in vivo models, including two lung cancer xenograft models (H358 and H1373), one lung cancer PDX model (EL3187), and one CRC xenograft model (SW837). Suboptimal doses of KRAS G12C inhibitors alone and Aurora A inhibitor monotherapy showed varying levels of antitumor activity in these models. The combination of KRAS G12C inhibitors and Aurora A inhibitors resulted in improved antitumor activity based on tumor growth inhibition and tumor regression. This combination demonstrated higher efficacy than monotherapy and did not adversely impact body weight.

[0159] For the growth of H358 and H1373 xenograft tumors, use 0.2 mL of Hanks equilibrium salt solution (HBSS): 5 × 10 in Matrigel (Corning, catalog number 354234) (1:1). 6Cells were subcutaneously transplanted into the right flank of each animal. H358 cells were transplanted into NOD SCID gamma mice (20-22g, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine), and H1373 cells were transplanted into female athymic nude mice (20-22g, Envigo RMS, Inc., Mount Comfort, Indiana). Tumor volume was measured twice a week using calipers. Tumor volume was 200-300 mm². 3 Once this point was reached, mice were randomized based on tumor measurements and body weight using a multitasking block randomization tool (n=5 or 6 / group). Treatment was initiated with 28 days of oral administration (enteral nutrition) of either 0.2 mL of vehicle (PEG 400 solution of 10% N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone "NMP" / 90% 15% w / v polyvinylpyrrolidone vinyl acetate "PVP-VA"), a KRAS G12C inhibitor (PEG 400 solution of 10% NMP / 90% 15% w / v PVP-VA) (10 mg / kg once daily), an Aurora A inhibitor (sterile aqueous solution of 20% w / v 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin "HPBCD") (57 mg / kg twice daily), or a combination of a KRAS G12C inhibitor (10 mg / kg once daily) and an Aurora A inhibitor (57 mg / kg twice daily). In the H1373 model, the dosage of the Aurora A inhibitor was changed to 57 mg / kg once daily from day 4. Statistical analysis results were compiled on day 28 of the H358 xenotransplant study and on day 24 of the H1373 xenotransplant study.

[0160] In the EL3187 PDX model, tumor fragments were subcutaneously transplanted into the right posterior flank of female athymic nude Foxn1nu feeder mice (20-22g, Envigo RMS, Inc., Mount Comfort, Indiana). The tumor volume was 800-1000 mm². 3 Upon reaching this stage, the animals were slaughtered and the tumors were harvested using a sterile method. Fresh tumors that had been passaged four times were collected at 10-15 mm intervals. 3The tumor was cut into fragments, placed in cold Gibco Hibernate Medium, and then the pooled tumor fragments were subcutaneously transplanted into animals using a 10g trocar needle. The tumor volume was 200-300 mm². 3 At this point, mice were randomized (n=5 / group). Treatment was initiated with 22 days of oral administration (enteral nutrition) of either 0.2 mL of vehicle (PEG 400 solution of 10% NMP / 90% 15% w / v PVP-VA), KRAS G12C inhibitor (PEG 400 solution of 10% NMP / 90% 15% w / v PVP-VA) (10 mg / kg once daily), Aurora A inhibitor (sterile aqueous solution of 20% w / v HPBCD) (57 mg / kg twice daily), or a combination of KRAS G12C inhibitor (3 mg / kg once daily) and Aurora A inhibitor (57 mg / kg twice daily). Statistical analysis results were compiled on day 22 of treatment. [Table 1]

[0161] Table 1 shows data from an H358 NSCLC xenograft model comparing monotherapy with a KRAS G12C inhibitor and monotherapy with an Aurora A inhibitor, compared with a combination of both. Treatment with a KRAS G12C inhibitor combined with an Aurora A inhibitor demonstrated in vivo efficacy compared to either monotherapy in the H358 NSCLC xenograft model, resulting in a 55.3% tumor regression rate. [Table 2]

[0162] Table 2 shows data from an H1373 NSCLC xenograft model comparing monotherapy with a KRAS G12C inhibitor and monotherapy with an Aurora A inhibitor, compared with a combination of both. Treatment with a KRAS G12C inhibitor combined with an Aurora A inhibitor demonstrated in vivo efficacy compared to either monotherapy in the H1373 NSCLC xenograft model, resulting in a 25.3% tumor regression rate. [Table 3]

[0163] Table 3 shows data from the EL3187 NSCLC PDX model comparing monotherapy with a KRAS G12C inhibitor and monotherapy with an Aurora A inhibitor in combination with a KRAS G12C inhibitor and an Aurora A inhibitor. Treatment with a KRAS G12C inhibitor in combination with an Aurora A inhibitor showed significant in vivo efficacy compared to either monotherapy in the EL3187 NSCLC PDX model, resulting in an 88.6% tumor regression rate.

[0164] The delta T / C% is calculated when the endpoint tumor volume in the treatment group becomes equal to or greater than the baseline tumor volume. The formula is 100 × (T - T0) / (C - C0), where T and C are the mean endpoint tumor volume in the treatment group or control group, respectively. T0 and C0 are the mean baseline tumor volumes in these groups.

[0165] The tumor regression percentage is calculated when the endpoint tumor volume in the treatment group falls below the baseline tumor volume. The formula is 100 × (T - T0) / T0, where T0 is the mean baseline tumor volume of the treatment group.
