[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of International Patent Application No. PCT / CN2022 / 082072, filed March 21, 2022, and International Patent Application No. PCT / CN2021 / 125409, filed October 21, 2021, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0002] FIELD OF THEINVENTION The present disclosure provides LPA antagonists and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds disclosed herein. Methods for treating LPA-related diseases, disorders and conditions are also provided. [Background technology]
[0003] A variety of lipid mediators, including eicosanoids and platelet activating factors (PAFs), are generated from cell membranes by the activity of phospholipases. Lysophospholipids are a class of bioactive lipid mediators derived from these membranes and include lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). LPA is not a single molecular entity but a collection of endogenous structural variants with fatty acids of various lengths and saturations. LPA influences cellular functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, migration, adhesion, invasion and morphogenesis. These functions affect many biological processes including neurogenesis, angiogenesis, wound healing, immunity and oncogenesis. LPA has a role as a biological effector molecule and has a diverse range of physiological actions including, but not limited to, effects on blood pressure, platelet activation and smooth muscle contraction, as well as versatile cellular effects including cell growth, cell rounding, neurite retraction, as well as actin stress fiber formation and cell migration. The effects of LPA are predominantly receptor-mediated. Activation of LPA receptors (LPA1, LPA2, LPA3, LPA4, LPA5, LPA6) by LPA mediates a range of downstream signaling cascades. Summary of the Invention

[0012] definition The following description sets forth exemplary embodiments of the present technology, but it should be understood that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure, but is presented as a description of exemplary embodiments.
[0013] As used herein, the following words, phrases and symbols are generally intended to have the meanings set forth below, unless the context of their use dictates otherwise.
[0014] As used herein, the term "compound" is meant to include all stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers, and isotopes of the structures depicted. Compounds herein identified by name or structure as a particular tautomeric form are intended to include other tautomeric forms unless otherwise specified.
[0015] Some compounds exist as tautomers. Tautomers are in equilibrium with each other. For example, an amide-containing compound may exist in equilibrium with an imidic acid tautomer. It is understood by those skilled in the art that a compound includes both amide and imidic acid tautomers, regardless of whether the tautomer is shown and regardless of the nature of the equilibrium among the tautomers. Thus, an amide-containing compound is understood to include its imidic acid tautomer. Similarly, an imidic acid-containing compound is understood to include its amide tautomer.
[0016] Any compound or structure depicted herein is also intended to represent unlabeled forms of the compound as well as isotopically labeled forms. These forms of the compound are also referred to as "isotopically enriched analogs." Isotopically labeled compounds have the structures depicted herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by atoms having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that may be incorporated into the disclosed compounds include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 2 H, 3 H, 11 C. 13 C. 14 C. 13 N, 15 N, 15 O. 17 O. 18 O. 31 P,32 P, 35 S, 18 F, 36 Cl, 123 I, and 125 I. Various isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure include, for example, radioactive isotopes, e.g. 3 H and 14 Such isotopically labeled compounds may be useful for metabolic studies, including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, reaction kinetic studies, detection or imaging techniques, such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) or Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), or for radioactive treatment of patients.
[0017] The term "isotopically enriched analog" includes "deuterated analogs" of compounds described herein in which one or more hydrogens, e.g., hydrogens on carbon atoms, are replaced by deuterium. Such compounds exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and are therefore 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 using starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium.
[0018] Therapeutic compounds of the present disclosure that are labeled or substituted with deuterium may have improved DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics) properties with respect to distribution, metabolism and transport (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes, such as deuterium, may provide certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, such as increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosing requirements, and / or improved therapeutic index. 18 F, 3 H, 11C-labeled compounds may be useful for PET or SPECT or other imaging studies.The isotopically labeled compounds and prodrugs of the present disclosure can generally be prepared by replacing non-isotopically labeled reagents with readily available isotopically labeled reagents and carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or examples and preparations described below.It is understood that deuterium in this context is intended as a substituent in the compounds described herein.
[0019] The concentration of such heavier isotopes, specifically deuterium, can be defined by the isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of the present disclosure, any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwise specified, when a position is specifically designated as "H" or "hydrogen", it is understood that the position has hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition. Thus, in the compounds of the present disclosure, any atom specifically designated as deuterium (D) is meant to represent deuterium.
[0020] In many cases, the compounds of the disclosure are capable of forming acid and / or base salts by virtue of the presence of amino and / or carboxyl groups or groups similar thereto.
[0021] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates, tautomeric forms, polymorphs and prodrugs of the compounds described herein are also provided. "Pharmaceutically acceptable" or "physiologically acceptable" refers to compounds, salts, compositions, dosage forms and other materials useful in preparing pharmaceutical compositions suitable for veterinary or human pharmaceutical use.
[0022] The term "pharmaceutical acceptable salt" of a given compound refers to a salt that retains the biological effectiveness and properties of the given compound and is not biologically or otherwise undesirable. "Pharmaceutical acceptable salt" or "physiologically acceptable salt" includes, for example, salts with inorganic acids and salts with organic acids. Furthermore, when the compounds described herein are obtained as acid addition salts, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid salt. Conversely, when the product is a free base, an addition salt, particularly a pharmaceutical acceptable addition salt, can be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid according to conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from basic compounds. Those skilled in the art will be aware of various synthetic methodologies that can be used to prepare non-toxic pharmaceutical acceptable addition salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be prepared from inorganic and organic acids. Salts derived from inorganic acids include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid. Salts derived from organic acids include, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, gluconic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluene-sulfonic acid, salicylic acid. Similarly, pharma- ceutically acceptable base addition salts can be prepared from inorganic and organic bases. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, by way of example only, sodium, potassium, lithium, aluminum, ammonium, calcium, and magnesium salts. Salts derived from organic bases include salts of NH3, or primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, such as salts derived from N-containing heterocycles, N-containing heteroaryls, or salts of the formula N(R N )3 [For example, HN + (R N )3 or (alkyl)N + (R N )3] amines, each R Nare independently hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, each optionally substituted, for example, with one or more (e.g., 1-5 or 1-3) substituents (e.g., halo, cyano, hydroxy, amino, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, or haloalkoxy). Specific examples of suitable amines include, by way of example only, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, tri(isopropyl)amine, tri(n-propyl)amine, ethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, piperazine, piperidine, morpholine, N-ethylpiperidine.
[0023] The term "substituted" means that any one or more hydrogen atoms on the specified atom or group are replaced with one or more substituents other than hydrogen, provided that the normal valence of the specified atom is not exceeded. The one or more substituents include, but are not limited to, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, acyl, amino, amido, amidino, aryl, azido, carbamoyl, carboxyl, carboxylester, cyano, guanidino, halo, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, heteroalkyl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, hydroxy, hydrazino, imino, oxo, nitro, alkylsulfinyl, sulfonic acid, alkylsulfonyl, thiocyanate, thiol, thione, or combinations thereof.
[0024] Polymers or similar undefined structures achieved by defining a substituent with infinitely more additional substituents (e.g., substituted aryl with substituted alkyl, which is itself substituted with substituted aryl group, which is further substituted with substituted heteroalkyl group, etc.) are not intended for inclusion herein. Unless otherwise noted, the maximum number of consecutive substitutions in the compounds described herein is three. For example, consecutive substitution of a substituted aryl group with two other substituted aryl groups is limited to [(substituted aryl)substituted aryl]substituted aryl. Similarly, the above definition is not intended to include impermissible substitution patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with five fluorines, or a heteroaryl group with two adjacent oxygen ring atoms). Such impermissible substitution patterns are well known to those skilled in the art. When used to modify a chemical group, the term "substituted" may describe other chemical groups as defined herein. Unless otherwise specified, when a group is described as being optionally substituted, any substituent of the group is itself unsubstituted. For example, in some embodiments, the term "substituted alkyl" refers to an alkyl group having one or more substituents, including hydroxyl, halo, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, and heteroaryl. In other embodiments, one or more of the substituents can be further substituted with halo, alkyl, haloalkyl, hydroxyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, each of which is substituted. In other embodiments, the substituents can be further substituted with halo, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, hydroxyl, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, each of which is unsubstituted.
[0025] The term "optionally" or "may" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes examples where said event or circumstance occurs and examples where said event or circumstance does not occur. Also, the term "optionally substituted" refers to the fact that any one or more hydrogen atoms on a specified atom or group may or may not be replaced with a non-hydrogen moiety.
[0026] A dash ("-") that is not between two letters or symbols is not used to indicate the point of attachment of a substituent. For example, -C(O)NH2 is attached through a carbon atom. Dashes before or after a chemical group are a matter of convenience, and a chemical group may be drawn with or without one or more dashes without losing its ordinary meaning. A wavy line drawn through a line in a structure indicates the point of attachment of the group. No directionality is indicated or implied by the order in which chemical groups are written or named, unless chemically or structurally required.
[0027] Prefix “C” u~v " indicates that the following group has u to v carbon atoms. For example, "C 1~6 "Alkyl" indicates that the alkyl group has from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
[0028] Reference herein to "about" a value or parameter includes (and describes) embodiments directed to the value or parameter itself. In certain embodiments, the term "about" includes ±10% of the amount referred to. In other embodiments, the term "about" includes ±5% of the amount referred to. In certain other embodiments, the term "about" includes ±1% of the amount referred to. Also, "about X" includes a reference to "X." Also, the singular forms "a" and "the" include plural references unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0110] For example, Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing human LPA1 can be seeded overnight in DMEM / F12 medium in microplates (15,000 cells / well). After overnight incubation, cells are loaded with calcium indicator dye for 30 minutes at 37°C. Cells are then equilibrated to room temperature for 30 minutes before assay. Test compounds solubilized in DMSO are transferred to multi-well non-binding surface plates and diluted in assay buffer (e.g., IX HBSS with calcium / magnesium, 20 mM HEPES, and 0.1% fatty acid free BSA) to a final concentration of 0.5% DMSO. Diluted compounds are added to cells at final concentrations ranging from 0.08 nM to 5 mM, followed by 20 min incubation at room temperature, at which time LPA is added to a final concentration of 10 nM to stimulate the cells. Compound IC 50 The IC value is defined as the concentration of test compound that inhibited 50% of the calcium influx induced by LPA alone. 50 Values can be determined by fitting the data to a four-parameter logistic equation.
[0111] In another example, a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Table 1 or Table 2, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof) provided herein is orally administered to CD-1 female mice po 2 hours prior to LPA challenge. The mice are then administered LPA in 0.15 mL of 0.1% BSA / PBS (2 pg / pL) via the tail vein (IV). Exactly 2 minutes after LPA challenge, the mice are euthanized by decapitation and trunk blood is collected. These samples are collectively centrifuged and individual 75 pL samples are frozen at -20°C until the histamine assay is performed. Plasma histamine analysis can be performed by standard EIA (enzyme immunoassay) methods. Plasma samples were thawed and diluted 1:30 with 0.1% BSA in PBS. The EIA protocol for histamine analysis previously described can be used in this assay.
[0112] LPA has a role as a biological effector molecule and has a diverse range of physiological actions including effects on blood pressure, platelet activation and smooth muscle contraction, as well as a variety of cellular effects including cell growth, cell rounding, neurite retraction, and actin stress fiber formation and cell migration.These effects are predominantly receptor mediated.
[0113] Activation of LPA receptors (LPA1, LPA2, LPA3, LPA4, LPA5, LPA6) with LPA mediates a range of downstream signaling cascades, non-limiting examples include mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, adenylyl cyclase (AC) inhibition / activation, phospholipase C (PLC) activation / Ca2+ mobilization, arachidonic acid release, Akt / PKB activation, and activation of the small GTPases Rho, ROCK, Rae, and Ras. Additional pathways affected by LPA receptor activation include, for example, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), cell division cycle 42 / GTP-binding protein (Cdc42), proto-oncogene serine / threonine-protein kinase Raf (c-RAF), proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (c-src), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), focal adhesion kinase (FAK), guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), glycogen synthase kinase 3b (GSK3b), c-jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK), MEK, myosin light chain II (MLC II), nuclear factor kB (NF-kB), N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PBK), protein kinase A (PKA), protein kinase C (PKC), and ms-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1). Nearly all mammalian cells, tissues and organs co-express several LPA-receptor subtypes, indicating that the LPA receptors signal cooperatively. LPA1, LPA2 and LPA3 share high amino acid sequence similarity.
[0114] LPA1 (previously called VZG-1 / EDG-2 / mrec1.3) is a G protein that binds three types of G proteins, G i / o , G q and G 12 / 13 Through the activation of these G proteins, LPA mediates, for example, cell proliferation, serum-response element (SRE) activation, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, adenylyl cyclase (AC) inhibition, phospholipase C (PLC) activation, and Ca2+ It induces a range of cellular responses through LPA1, including recruitment, Akt activation and Rho activation.
[0115] Expression of LPA1 is observed in mouse testis, brain, heart, lung, small intestine, stomach, spleen, thymus, and skeletal muscle. Similarly, LPA1 is expressed in human tissues such as brain, heart, lung, placenta, colon, small intestine, prostate, testis, ovary, pancreas, spleen, kidney, skeletal muscle, and thymus.
[0116] LPA2 (EDG-4) also binds three types of G proteins, G i / o , G q and G 12 / 13 It mediates LPA-induced cellular signaling by coupling to LPA2. Expression of LPA2 has been observed in the testis, kidney, lung, thymus, spleen, and stomach of adult mice, and in leukocytes of the human testis, pancreas, prostate, thymus, spleen, and peripheral blood. Expression of LPA2 is upregulated in various cancer cell lines, and several human LPA2 transcript variants with mutations in the 3'-untranslated region have been observed.
[0117] LPA3 activates PLC, Ca 2+ It can mediate pleiotropic LPA-induced signaling, including recruitment, AC inhibition / activation, and MAPK activation. Overexpression of LPA3 in neuroblastoma cells results in neurite outgrowth. Expression of LPA3 is observed in the testis, kidney, lung, small intestine, heart, thymus, and brain of adult mice. In humans, it is found in the heart, pancreas, prostate, testis, lung, ovary, and brain (frontal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala).
[0118] LPA4 (p2y9 / GPR23) is a divergent sequence compared to LPA1, LPA2, and LPA3, and has close similarity to the platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor. LPA4 mediates LPA-induced Ca 2+It mediates recruitment and cAMP accumulation, functional coupling to the G protein Gs for AC activation, as well as coupling to other G proteins. The LPA4 gene is expressed in the ovary, pancreas, thymus, kidney and skeletal muscle.
[0119] LPA5 (GPR92) is a member of the purinoter of GPCRs and is structurally most closely related to LPA4. LPA5 is expressed in human heart, placenta, spleen, brain, lung, and intestine. LPA is also highly expressed in the CD8+ lymphocyte compartment of the gastrointestinal tract.
[0120] LPA6 (p2y5) is a member of the purino-cluster of GPCRs and is structurally most closely related to LPA4. LPA6 is an LPA receptor that couples to the G12 / 13-Rho signaling pathway and is expressed in the inner root sheath of human hair follicles.

[0189] Synthesis of compounds The compounds of the present disclosure can be prepared, for example, from readily available starting materials using the following general methods and procedures. Where certain process conditions (i.e., reaction temperature, time, molar ratio of reactants, solvent, pressure, etc.) are given, it is recognized that other process conditions can also be used unless otherwise specified. Optimum reaction conditions may vary depending on the reactants or solvents used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art through routine optimization procedures.
[0190] Moreover, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, conventional protecting groups may be necessary to prevent certain functional groups from undergoing undesired reactions. Suitable protecting groups for various functional groups, as well as suitable conditions for protecting and deprotecting certain functional groups, are well known in the art. For example, numerous protecting groups are described in TW Greene and GM Wuts (1999) Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, Wiley, New York, and references therein.
[0191] In addition, the compounds of the present disclosure may contain one or more chiral centers. Therefore, if desired, such compounds may be prepared or isolated as pure stereoisomers, i.e., as individual enantiomers or diastereoisomers, or as stereoisomer-enriched mixtures. All such stereoisomers (and enriched mixtures) are included within the scope of the present disclosure unless otherwise indicated. Pure stereoisomers (or enriched mixtures) may be prepared, for example, using optically active starting materials or stereoselective reagents well known in the art. Alternatively, racemic mixtures of such compounds may be separated, for example, using chiral column chromatography, chiral resolving agents.
[0192] The starting materials for the following reactions are generally known compounds or can be prepared by known procedures or obvious modifications thereof. For example, many of the starting materials are available from commercial suppliers such as Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA), Bachem (Torrance CA USA), EMKA-Chemie Gmbh & Co. KG (Eching Germany) or Millipore Sigma (Burlington MA USA). Others may be prepared by procedures described in standard reference texts, such as Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volumes 1-15 (John Wiley, and Sons, 1991), Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Volumes 1-5, and Supplementals (Elsevier Science Publishers, 1989), Organic Reactions, Volumes 1-40 (John Wiley, and Sons, 1991), March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, (John Wiley, and Sons, 5th Edition, 2001), and Larock's Comprehensive Organic Transformations (VCH Publishers Inc., 1989), or obvious modifications thereof.

[0322] Biological assays In vitro LPA1 functional antagonist assay CHO-K1 cells overexpressing human LPA1 were seeded in a total volume of 20 μL in black-walled, clear-bottom poly-D-lysine coated 384-well microplates and incubated at 37°C for the appropriate time prior to testing. Assays were performed in 1× dye loading buffer consisting of 1× dye, 1× additive A and 2.5 mM probenecid in HBSS / 20 mM Hepes. Probenecid is freshly prepared. Cells are dye loaded prior to testing. Media is aspirated from cells and replaced with 20 μL dye loading buffer. Cells are incubated at 37°C for 30-60 minutes. After dye loading, cells are removed from the incubator and 10 μL 3× test compound is added. Cells are incubated in the dark at room temperature for 30 minutes to equilibrate plate temperature, followed by oleoyl LPA loading at 0.018 μM. Antagonist activity of compounds is measured on a FLIPR Tetra (MDS). Calcium mobilization is monitored for 2 min and 10 μL oleoyl LPA in HBSS / 20 mM Hepes is added to cells 5 seconds into the assay. Compound activity is analyzed using CBIS data analysis suite (ChemInnovation, CA). Percentage of inhibition is calculated using the following formula: % Inhibition=100%×(1−(mean RFU of test samples−mean RFU of medium control) / (mean RFU of LPA control−mean RFU of medium control)).
[0323] In vitro LPA1 calcium influx antagonist assay CHO-K1 cells overexpressing human LPA1 and G15a were seeded in Matrigel pre-coated 384-well plates (corning-3764) in a total volume of 20 μL (15000 cells / well) and incubated at 37°C. After overnight incubation, cells were serum starved for 4 h. Assays were performed in dye loading buffer containing 1× Fluo-8 AM (AAT Bioquest, 21080) and 2.5 mM probenecid (Thermo Fisher, 36400) in HBSS / 20 mM Hepes. After cell starvation, medium was replaced with 20 μL dye loading buffer and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. 5 μL of titrated 5× compound in dye loading buffer was then added to the cells and incubated for 30 min, followed by LPA loading at EC80. Calcium mobilization was measured on a FLIPR Tetra (MDS). For LPA EC80 determination, starved cells were incubated with 20 μL of dye-loading buffer for 1 h, and then 5 μL of titrated 5×LPA in dye-loading buffer was added to the cells. LPA-induced calcium signals were monitored by FLIPR.
