The subject of the present invention is also a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound represented by the formula (I) and the use of the compound represented by the formula (I) for the treatment of hyperproliferative disorders. [Background technology]
[0002] background Protein kinases constitute a large family of structurally related enzymes that are responsible for regulating a wide variety of signaling processes within the cell (G Hardie & S Hanks 1995, The Protein Kinase Facts Book. I and II, Academic Press, San Diego, CA). Kinases may be divided into family categories according to the substrates they phosphorylate (e.g., protein-tyrosine, protein-serine / threonine, lipids, etc.). Sequence motifs have been identified that generally correspond to each of these kinase families (see, e.g., Hanks & Hunter, FASEB J 1995, 9: 576-596; Knighton et al., Science 1991, 253: 407-414; Hiles et al., Cell 1992, 70: 419-429; Kunz et al., Cell 1993, 73: 585-596; Garcia-Bustos et al., EMBO J 1994, 13: 2352-2361).
[0003] Protein kinases may be characterized by their mechanisms of regulation, including, for example, autophosphorylation, transphosphorylation by other kinases, protein-protein interactions, protein-lipid interactions, and protein-polynucleotide interactions. Individual protein kinases may be regulated by more than one mechanism.
[0004] Kinases regulate many different cellular processes, including, but not limited to, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, motility, transcription, translation, and other signaling processes; by adding phosphate groups to target proteins, these phosphorylation events act as molecular on / off switches that can modulate or regulate the biological function of the target protein. Phosphorylation of target proteins occurs in response to a variety of extracellular signals (hormones, neurotransmitters, growth and differentiation factors, etc.), cell cycle events, environmental or nutritional stress, etc. Suitable protein kinases are involved in activating or deactivating (either directly or indirectly) signaling pathways, e.g., metabolic enzymes, regulatory proteins, receptors, cytoskeletal proteins, ion channels or pumps, or transcription factors. Unregulated signaling due to defective regulation of protein phosphorylation is associated with numerous diseases, including, e.g., inflammation, cancer, allergy / asthma, and diseases of the immune system, central nervous system, and angiogenesis diseases and disorders.
[0005] Serine-arginine protein kinases (SRPKs) are a subfamily of serine-threonine kinases that phosphorylate serine at the serine-arginine dipeptide motif. SRPKs have been described to alter constitutive and alternative mRNA splicing and maturation as well as chromatin reorganization, cell cycle and p53 regulation in somatic and sperm cells (T Giannakouros, E Nikolakaki, I Mylonis, E Georgatsou, FEBS Journal 2011, 278: 570-586). SRPKs are associated with promoting cancer growth, so SRPK inhibition could be an effective treatment (IP Nikas, SC Themistocleous, SA Paschou, KI Tsamis, HS Ryu, Cells 2020, 9(1): 19; G Wang, W Sheng, X Shi, X Li, J Zhou, M Dong, The FEBS Journal 2019, 286: 1668-1682; T Arends, JM Taliaferro, E Petermann, JR Knapp, BO' Connor, RM Torres, JR Hagman, bioRxiv 759829). The best-characterized family members are SRPK1, SRPK2 and SRPK3.
[0006] A number of different small molecules with SRPK inhibitory activity have been described in the art. However, current SRPK inhibitors lack potency and / or selectivity (T Fukuhara, T Hosoya, S Shimizu, K Sumi, T Oshiro, Y Yoshinaka, M Suzuki, N Yamamoto, LA Herzenberg, LA Herzenberg, M Hagiwara, PNAS 2006, 103(30): 11329-11333; RP Siqueira et al., Eur J Med Chem 2017, 134: 97-109; J Batson et al., ACS Chem. Biol. 2017, 12(3): 825-832; JM Hatcher, Cell Chem Bio 2018, 25(4): 460-470). Specifically, SRPK inhibitors typically exhibit cross-reactivity to the structurally related CLK or DYRK proteins.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0008] Detailed Description of the Invention Compounds in the sense of the present invention are defined to include the pharma- ceutical usable derivatives, as well as solvates, prodrugs, tautomers, enantiomers, racemates and stereoisomers thereof, and mixtures thereof in any ratio.
[0009] The term "pharmaceutical usable derivatives" is taken to mean, for example, the salts of the compounds according to the invention and so-called prodrug compounds.
[0010] The term "solvates" of a compound is taken to mean adductions of inert solvent molecules onto the compound, which are formed due to their mutual attractive force. Solvates are, for example, mono- or dihydrates or alkoxides. The invention also includes solvates of the salts of the compounds according to the invention.
[0011] The term "prodrug" is taken to mean a compound according to the invention that is modified, for example with alkyl or acyl groups, sugars or oligopeptides, and is rapidly cleaved in the organism to form an active compound according to the invention. They also include biodegradable polymer derivatives of the compounds according to the invention. In cases where the actual biologically active form is only released through metabolism, it is equally possible for the compounds of the invention to be in any desired prodrug form, for example, esters, carbonates, carbamates, ureas, amides or phosphates. Any compound (i.e., a compound of the invention) that can be converted in-vivo to provide biological activity is a prodrug within the scope and spirit of the invention. Various forms of prodrugs are well known and described in the art. Furthermore, it is known that chemicals can be converted in the body into metabolites that, where appropriate, can also elicit the desired biological effect - even in a more pronounced form in some circumstances. Any biologically active compound that is converted in-vivo by a form of metabolism from any of the compounds of the invention is a metabolite within the scope and spirit of the invention.
[0012] The compounds of the present invention may be present in the form of their double bond isomers as pure E or Z isomers, in the form of mixtures of their double bond isomers. If possible, the compounds of the present invention may be in the form of tautomers, such as keto-enol tautomers. All stereoisomers of the compounds of the present invention, either in mixtures or in pure or substantially pure form, are contemplated. The compounds of the present invention may have asymmetric centers at any of the carbon atoms. As a result, they may be present in the form of their racemates, in the form of pure enantiomers and / or diastereomers, or in the form of mixtures of their enantiomers and / or diastereomers. The mixtures may have any desired mixture ratio of stereoisomers. Thus, for example, the compounds of the present invention that have one or more centers of chirality and occur as racemates or as diastereomeric mixtures can be fractionated into their optically pure isomers, i.e., enantiomers or diastereomers, by known methods. Resolution of the compounds of the invention can occur by column separation on chiral or non-chiral phases, or by recrystallization, optionally from optically active solvents or with the use of optically active acids or bases, or by derivatization with an optically active reagent, such as, for example, an optically active alcohol, followed by elimination of a radical.
[0013] The present invention also relates to the use of mixtures of compounds according to the invention, such as mixtures of the two diastereomers, for example in ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:10, 1:100 or 1:1000. These are particularly preferably mixtures of stereoisomeric compounds.
[0014] The nomenclature for defining the compounds, in particular the compounds according to the invention, as used herein, is based on the rules of the IUPAC organization for chemical compounds in general and organic compounds in particular.

The compound is characterized by a clear affinity for SRPK, which ensures reliable binding and blocking of SRPK activity. Preferably, the compound is specific for SRPK to ensure exclusive and directed recognition of the SRPK target. In an embodiment of the present invention, the compound of formula (I) is bispecific to ensure exclusive and directed recognition of two targets selected from the group of SRPK1, SRPK2 and SRPK3. In another embodiment of the present invention, the compound of formula (I) is trispecific to ensure exclusive and directed recognition of the targets SRPK1, SRPK2 and SRPK3. In another embodiment of the present invention, the compound of formula (I) and / or its physiologically acceptable salt is a SRPK inhibitor that does not show cross-reactivity with CLK proteins and / or DYRK proteins.
[0049] In the context of the present invention, the term "recognition" refers to any type of interaction between a specific compound and a target, particularly, but not limited to, covalent or non-covalent binding or association, such as covalent bonds, hydrophobic / hydrophilic interactions, van der Waals forces, ion pairs, hydrogen bonds, ligand-receptor interactions, etc. Such associations may also encompass the presence of other molecules, such as peptides, proteins, or nucleotide sequences. The interaction is characterized by high affinity, high selectivity, and minimal or no cross-reactivity to other target molecules, to eliminate unhealthy and harmful effects on the treated subject.
[0050] A preferred subject of the present invention relates to a method for inhibiting SRPK, in which a system capable of expressing, preferably expressing, SRPK is contacted with at least one compound of formula (I) according to the present invention and / or its physiologically acceptable salt under conditions such that said SRPK is inhibited. In the scope of the present invention, a cell system is preferred. A cell system is defined as any object, provided that the object consists of cells. Thus, a cell system may be selected from the group of a single cell, a cell culture, a tissue, an organ, and an animal. The method for inhibiting SRPK is preferably carried out in-vitro. The preceding teachings of the present specification on the compound of formula (I), including all its preferred embodiments, are valid and applicable without limitation to the compound according to formula (I) and its salts when used in a method for inhibiting SRPK.
[0051] The compounds according to the invention preferably exhibit advantageous biological activity, which is easily demonstrated in cell culture-based assays, such as those described herein or in the prior art. In such assays, the compounds according to the invention preferably exhibit and cause an inhibitory effect. The compounds of the invention have IC values in the range of 1 nM to 25 μM. 50 The compounds of the present invention have IC 50It is preferred that the activity expressed on a scale is below 2.5 μM, preferably below 1 μM, more preferably below 0.5 μM, most preferably below 0.05 μM.
[0052] The method of the present invention can be carried out in-vitro or in-vivo. The sensitivity of a particular cell to treatment with a compound according to the present invention can be determined in particular by in-vitro testing, whether during research or during clinical application. Typically, a culture of cells is combined with a compound according to the present invention at various concentrations for a period sufficient for the active agent to modulate SRPK activity, usually between about 1 hour and 1 week. In-vitro treatment is accomplished using cultured cells from a biopsy sample or a cell line. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, follicular cells are stimulated for maturation. Viable cells remaining after treatment are counted and further processed.
[0053] The host or patient may belong to any mammalian species, such as primates, particularly humans; rodents, including mice, rats, hamsters; rabbits; horses, cows, dogs, cats, etc. Animal models are of interest for experimental investigations and provide models for the treatment of human diseases.
[0054] To identify signal transduction pathways and detect interactions between various signal transduction pathways, various scientists have developed suitable models and model systems, such as cell culture models and transgenic animal models. To determine a stage in the signal transduction cascade, interacting compounds can be used to modulate the signal. The compounds according to the present invention can also be used as reagents to study SRPK-dependent signal transduction pathways in animal and / or cell culture models or in clinical diseases described in this application.
[0055] The use according to the previous paragraph of this specification can be carried out either in-vitro or in-vivo models. The modulation can be monitored by the techniques described herein. The in-vitro use is preferably applied to human samples suffering from hyperproliferative disorders. The testing of several specific compounds and / or their derivatives allows the selection of the best suitable active ingredient for the treatment of human subjects. The in-vivo dosage rate of the selected derivative is advantageously pre-adjusted to the SRPK sensitivity and / or disease severity of each subject with respect to the in-vitro data. Thus, the therapeutic efficacy is unexpectedly enhanced. Moreover, the subsequent teachings of this specification on the use of the compounds according to formula (I) and their pharmacopoeiaacceptable salts for the production of medicaments for preventive or therapeutic treatment and / or monitoring are considered to be valid and applicable without limitation to the use of the compounds for the modulation of SRPK activity, if appropriate.
[0056] As a result, the compounds according to the invention are useful for the prevention and / or treatment of diseases that depend on said signaling pathways, by interacting with one or more of said signaling pathways. The invention therefore relates to the compounds according to the invention as modulators, preferably inhibitors, of the signaling pathways described herein. In particular, the invention relates to the use of the compounds according to the invention for the preparation of medicaments for the treatment of hyperproliferative disorders associated with the enhancement of SRPK, as well as diseases modulated by the SRPK cascade in mammals, or disorders mediated by hyperproliferation, such as cancer and inflammation.

[0064] Pharmaceutical formulations can be adapted for administration via any desired suitable method, for example, oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal, sublingual, or transdermal), vaginal, or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, or intradermal). Such formulations can be prepared, for example, by combining the active ingredient with excipients or adjuvants, by any process known in the pharmaceutical art.
[0065] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is prepared in a known manner with suitable dosages using common solid or liquid carriers, diluents and / or additives, and common adjuvants for pharmaceutical design. The amount of excipients combined with active ingredients to produce a single dosage form varies depending on the host treated and the mode of administration. Suitable excipients include organic or inorganic substances that are suitable for different administration routes, such as enteral (e.g. oral), parenteral or topical application, and do not react with the compound of formula (I) or its salts. Examples of suitable excipients are water, vegetable oils, benzyl alcohol, alkylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol triacetate, gelatin, carbohydrates, such as lactose or starch, magnesium stearate, talc, and petrolatum.
[0066] Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for oral administration may be administered as discrete units, for example, capsules or tablets; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or foam foods; oil-in-water liquid emulsions or water-in-oil liquid emulsions.
[0067] Pharmaceutical preparations adapted for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions containing antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes that make the preparation isotonic with the blood of the treated recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions that may contain suspending media and thickening agents. The preparations may be administered in single-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and stored in a lyophilized (lyophilized) state, so that only the addition of a sterile carrier liquid, for example water for injection, is required immediately before use. Recipe-prepared injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets.
[0068] It goes without saying that in addition to the ingredients specifically mentioned above, the formulations may also contain other agents customary in the art with respect to the particular type of formulation; thus, for example, formulations suitable for oral administration may contain flavors.
[0069] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, pharmaceutical composition is adapted for oral administration.Preparation can be sterilized and / or can contain auxiliary agents, such as carrier proteins (for example, serum albumin), lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers, fillers, chelating agents, antioxidants, solvents, binders, suspending agents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts (to affect osmotic pressure), buffer substances, colorants, flavoring agents, and one or more additional active substances, such as one or more vitamins.Additives are well known in the art, and they are used in various formulations.
[0070] The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising, as an active pharmaceutical ingredient, at least one compound of formula (I) according to the invention and / or its physiologically acceptable salt, together with pharma- ceutically tolerable adjuvants, optionally in combination with at least another active pharmaceutical ingredient. Both active pharmaceutical ingredients are preferably provided in effective amounts. The teachings herein above on the route of administration or on the combination product are valid and applicable without restriction to the combination of both features, if appropriate.
[0071] The terms "effective amount" or "effective amount" or "dose" are used interchangeably herein and refer to an amount of a pharmaceutical compound that has a prophylactically or therapeutically relevant effect in a disease or pathological condition, i.e., that elicits a biological or medical response in a tissue, system, animal or human as is sought or desired, e.g., by a researcher or physician.
[0072] A "prophylactic effect" reduces the likelihood of disease onset or prevents disease onset. A "therapeutically relevant effect" alleviates to some extent one or more symptoms of a disease, or partially or completely restores one or more physiological or biochemical parameters associated with or causing a disease or pathological condition to normal. In addition, the expression "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount that has the following causal relationship: improved treatment, cure, prevention or elimination of a disease, syndrome, condition, complaint, disorder or side effect, or a reduction in the progression of a disease, complaint or disorder, compared to a corresponding subject that has not been administered this amount. The expression "therapeutically effective amount" also covers an amount that is effective for enhancing normal physiological function.
[0073] Each dose or dosage range for administering the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention is sufficiently high to achieve the desired preventive or therapeutic effect of reducing the symptoms of the above-identified diseases, such as cancer and inflammation.It will be understood that the specific dose level, frequency of administration and duration of administration for any particular human will depend on a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time and route of administration, excretion rate, drug combination, and the severity of the specific disease to which the specific treatment is applied.Using well-known means and methods, the exact dose can be determined by those skilled in the art as a matter of routine experimentation.The preceding teachings of this specification are valid and applicable without limitation to pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds represented by formula (I), where appropriate.
[0074] The pharmaceutical preparations may be administered in the form of dosage units containing a predetermined amount of active ingredient per dosage unit. The concentration of the prophylactic or therapeutic active ingredient in the preparation may vary in the range of about 0.1-100 wt%. Preferably, the compound of formula (I) or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt is administered in a dose of about 0.5-1000 mg per dosage unit, more preferably between 1 mg and 700 mg, most preferably between 5 mg and 100 mg. Generally, such a dosage range is appropriate for the total daily dosage. In other words, the daily dose is preferably between about 0.02 mg / kg body weight and 100 mg / kg body weight. However, the specific dose for each patient depends on a wide variety of factors, as already described herein (for example, depending on the condition to be treated, the method of administration, and the age, weight, and condition of the patient). Preferred dosage unit formulations are those containing a daily dose or partial dose of the active ingredient, or a corresponding fraction thereof, as indicated above. Furthermore, pharmaceutical formulations of this type can be prepared using processes generally known in the pharmaceutical art.
[0075] Although the therapeutically effective amount of the compound according to the invention must ultimately be determined by the treating physician or veterinarian by considering many factors (e.g. age and weight of the animal, the exact condition requiring treatment, the severity of the condition, the nature of the formulation and the method of administration), an effective amount of the compound according to the invention for the treatment of neoplastic growths, such as colon cancer or breast cancer, is generally in the range of 0.1-100 mg / kg of body weight of the recipient (mammal) per day, and more particularly typically in the range of 1-10 mg / kg of body weight per day. Thus, the actual amount per day for an adult mammal weighing 70 kg is usually between 70 mg and 700 mg, which amount can be administered as a single dose per day or as a series of partial doses (e.g. 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 times, etc.) most often per day, so that the total daily dose is the same. The effective amount of a salt or solvate or a physiologically functional derivative thereof can be determined as a fraction of the effective amount of the compound according to the invention itself. Similar doses can be presumed to be suitable for the treatment of the other conditions mentioned above.
[0076] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be employed as a medicament in human and veterinary medicine.

[0081] The compound of formula (I) according to the present invention can be administered once or several times before or after the onset of the disease to act as a treatment. The above compounds and medical products of the use of the present invention are particularly used for therapeutic treatment. The therapeutically relevant effect is to alleviate to some extent one or more symptoms of the disease, or to partially or completely return to normal one or more physiological or biochemical parameters related to or caused by the disease or pathological condition. Monitoring is considered as a kind of treatment, provided that the compound is administered at a defined interval, for example, to boost the response and completely eradicate the pathogen and / or the symptoms of the disease. Either the same compound or different compounds can be applied. The pharmaceutical of the present invention can also be used to reduce the possibility of the onset of the disease, or to prevent the onset of the disease related to SRPK activity in advance, or to treat the symptoms that occur and continue. The disorder related to the present invention is preferably a hyperproliferative disorder.
[0082] A prophylactic treatment within the meaning of the present invention is appropriate when the subject has the prerequisites for the above identified physiological or pathological conditions, such as a familial predisposition, a genetic defect, a previously suffered disease, etc.
[0083] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for treating diseases caused, mediated and / or propagated by SRPK activity, wherein at least one compound of formula (I) according to the present invention and / or its physiologically acceptable salt is administered to a mammalian subject in need of such treatment.
