Background Art

[0002] Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) or poly(ADP-ribose) synthase (PARS) plays an important role in promoting DNA repair, regulating RNA transcription, mediating cell death, and modulating the immune response. Due to these actions, PARP inhibitors are targets for a wide range of diseases. PARP inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in numerous models of disease, particularly in models of ischemia-reperfusion injury, inflammatory diseases, degenerative diseases, protection from the harmful effects of cytotoxic compounds, and enhancement of cytotoxic cancer therapy. PARP has also been implicated in retroviral infection, and thus inhibitors may be useful for anti-retroviral therapy. PARP inhibitors are effective in preventing ischemia-reperfusion injury in models of myocardial infarction, stroke, other neurological injuries, organ transplantation, and reperfusion of the eye, kidney, intestine, and skeletal muscle. The inhibitors are effective in inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, gout, inflammatory bowel disease, CNS inflammation such as MS and allergic encephalitis, sepsis, septic shock, hemorrhagic shock, pulmonary fibrosis, and uveitis. PARP inhibitors have also shown utility in some models of degenerative diseases including diabetes (and its complications) and Parkinson's disease. PARP inhibitors can alleviate liver toxicity after acetaminophen overdose, cardiac and renal toxicity from doxorubicin and platinum-based anti-cancer drugs, and skin damage following sulfur mustard. In various cancer models, PARP inhibitors have been shown to enhance radiation and chemotherapy by increasing cancer cell death, limiting tumor growth, reducing metastasis, and prolonging the survival of animals with tumors.

[0003] PARP1 and PARP2 are the most widely studied PARPs with respect to their roles in DNA damage repair. PARP1 is activated by DNA damage breaks and functions to catalyze the addition of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) chains to target proteins. This post-translational modification, known as PARylation, mediates the recruitment of additional DNA repair factors to DNA damage.

[0004] Following completion of the role of this mobilization, PARP auto-PARylation releases the bound PARP from DNA, allowing access to other DNA repair proteins to complete the repair. Therefore, the binding of PARP to the damage site, its catalytic activity, and its final release from DNA are all important steps for cancer cells to respond to DNA damage caused by chemotherapeutic agents and radiotherapy.

[0005] Inhibition of PARP family enzymes has been utilized as a strategy to selectively kill cancer cells by inactivating complementary DNA repair pathways. Many preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that tumor cells with deleterious alterations in BRCA1 or BRCA2, important tumor suppressor proteins involved in double-strand DNA break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR), are selectively sensitive to small molecule inhibitors of the PARP family of DNA repair enzymes. Such tumors lack the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway and rely on the function of PARP enzymes for survival. PARP inhibitor therapy mainly targets SRCA mutant cancers, but PARP inhibitors are being clinically tested in non-SRCA mutant tumors, i.e., tumors showing homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). Subjects are being clinically tested.

[0006] PARP inhibitors with improved selectivity for PARP1 are thought to have improved efficacy and reduced toxicity compared to other clinical PARP1 / 2 inhibitors. Also, when PARP1 is strongly and selectively inhibited, it is thought that PARP1 is trapped on DNA and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur due to the collapse of replication forks in the S phase. Moreover, PARP1-DNA trapping is thought to be an effective mechanism for selectively killing tumor cells with HRD. Therefore, there is an unmet medical need for effective and safe PARP inhibitors. In particular, PARP inhibitors having selectivity for PARP1. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM

[0033] The term "optionally" or "optionally substituted" means that the event or situation described thereafter may or may not occur, and that the description includes both the case where the event or situation occurs and the case where the event or situation does not occur. For example, "optionally substituted alkyl" means either "alkyl" as defined above or "substituted alkyl". Further, a group that is optionally substituted may be unsubstituted (e.g., -CH2CH3), fully substituted (e.g., -CF2CF3), mono-substituted (e.g., -CH2CH2F), or substituted at any level between full substitution and mono-substitution (e.g., -CH2CHF2, -CH2CF3, -CF2CH3, -CFHCHF2, etc.). One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that for any group containing one or more substituents, such a group is not intended to introduce any substitution or substitution pattern that is sterically unrealistic and / or synthetically infeasible (e.g., a substituted alkyl that contains an optionally substituted cycloalkyl group, which in turn contains an optionally substituted alkyl group, and so on ad infinitum). Thus, any substituent described is generally understood to have a maximum molecular weight of about 1,000 Daltons, more typically about 500 Daltons.

[0034] The term "one or more" when referring to an optionally substituted group means that the subject group is optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3, or 4 substituents. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with 1, 2, or 3 substituents. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with 1 or 2 substituents. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with 1 substituent. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with 2 substituents.

[0035] "Effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to the amount of a compound administered to a mammalian subject, either as a single dose or as part of a series of doses, that is effective to produce the desired therapeutic effect.

[0036] As used herein, the terms "treating", "treated", "treatment", or "to treat" refer to a therapeutic treatment, the purpose of which is to delay (reduce) an undesirable physiological condition, disorder, or disease, or to obtain a beneficial or desired clinical outcome. For the purposes described herein, beneficial or desired clinical outcomes include alleviation of symptoms; reduction in the degree of a condition, disorder, or disease; stabilization of the state, disorder, or disease (i.e., not getting worse); delay in the onset or slowing of the progression of a condition, disorder, or disease; improvement in a condition, disorder, or disease state; and remission (whether partial or complete, detectable or undetectable) of a condition, disorder, or disease, or enhancement or improvement, whether or not detectable, including but not limited to these. Treatment includes inducing a clinically significant response without undue levels of side effects. Treatment also includes extended survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. The terms "treating", "treated", "treatment", or "to treat", and words derived therefrom, as used herein, do not necessarily mean 100% or complete treatment. Rather, there are varying degrees of treatment that one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize as having potential benefit or a therapeutic effect. In this regard, the disclosed methods can provide any level of treatment of any amount of a disorder in a mammal. For example, the disorder can be reduced, including its symptoms or state, by, for example, about 100%, about 90%, about 80%, about 70%, about 60%, about 50%, about 40%, about 30%, about 20%, or about 10%. "Synergistic" or "showing synergy" refers to an effect of a combination that is greater than the additive effect of the effects of each component alone at the same dosage.

[0037] As used herein, "PARP-related disease or disorder" or "PARP-mediated disease or disorder" means any disease or other adverse condition in which PARP or a variant thereof is known or suspected to play a role.

[0038] As used herein, "disease or disorder associated with PARP1" or "PARP1-mediated disease or disorder" means any disease or other adverse condition in which PARP1 or its variant is known or suspected to play a role.

In this use, the exact amount also depends on the patient's health status, weight, etc. When used in a patient, the effective amount for this use depends on the severity and course of the disease, disorder, or condition, the patient's medical history, health status and response to the drug, as well as the judgment of the treating physician. In one aspect, prophylactic treatment involves administering to a mammal that has previously experienced at least one symptom or risk factor of the disease being treated and is currently in remission, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or stereoisomer thereof, to prevent recurrence of the symptoms of the disease or condition.

[0117] In certain embodiments where the patient's condition does not improve, at the discretion of the physician, the administration of the compound is continued long-term, i.e., over a long period including the entire lifespan of the patient, to improve or otherwise control or limit the symptoms of the patient's disease or condition.

[0118] In certain embodiments where the patient's condition improves, the dosage of the administered drug is temporarily reduced or temporarily discontinued for a specified period (i.e., a "drug holiday"). In a specific embodiment, the length of the drug holiday is from 2 days to 1 year, for example, by way of mere illustration, including 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20 days, 28 days, or more than 28 days. The dosage reduction during the drug holiday is, by way of mere illustration, from 10% to 100%, for example, by way of mere illustration, including 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, and 100%.

[0119] Once the patient's condition has improved, a maintenance dosage is administered as needed. Thereafter, in a specific embodiment, the dosage or dosing frequency, or both, are reduced, depending on the symptoms, to a level at which the improved disease, disorder or condition is maintained. However, in certain embodiments, the patient will require intermittent or daily treatment over the long term upon any recurrence of symptoms.

[0120] The amount of a given agent corresponding to such amounts will vary depending on factors such as the particular compound, disease state and its severity, the identity of the subject or host in need of treatment (e.g., weight, gender), etc., but nevertheless is determined according to the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, for example, the particular agent being administered, the route of administration, the condition being treated, and the subject or host being treated.

[0121] However, generally, the dosages used for the treatment of adults typically range from 0.01 mg to 5000 mg per day. In one aspect, the dosages used for the treatment of adults are from about 1 mg to about 1000 mg per day. In one embodiment, the desired dosage is conveniently presented as a single dose or as divided doses administered simultaneously or at appropriate intervals, for example, as 2, 3, 4 or more divided doses per day.

[0122] In one embodiment, an appropriate daily dosage for the compounds described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or stereoisomer thereof, is about 0.01 to about 50 mg / kg per body weight.

[0252] Example A: Cell Proliferation Inhibition Assay Cell proliferation was measured by a cell viability assay using DLD-1 BRCA2(- / -) and parental isogenic pairs and MDA-MB-436 (mutant BRCA1) cell lines. The CellTiter-Glo (CellTiter-Glo, CTG)-based cell viability assay is designed to determine the number of viable cells in culture due to compound effects by quantifying ATP, which indicates the presence of metabolically active cells.

[0253] DLD-1 BRCA2(- / -) and parental isogenic pairs were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and MDA-MB-436 cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. Both were cultured at 37 °C with 5% CO2. The compounds of the present invention were dispensed into 384-well plates (Corning, 3764) using an Echo acoustic liquid handler to form a final concentration serially diluted 1:3 with a maximum dose of 10 or 30 μM. Cells were seeded onto the plates at a density of 50 cells / well (DLD-1 parent), 200 cells / well (DLD-1 BRCA2- / -), or 500 cells / well (MDA-MB-436). After brief rotation, the cells were cultured without disturbance at 37 °C with 5% CO2 in a well-humidified incubator for 7 days. Cell viability was measured by the CellTiter Glo2.0 assay kit (Promega, G9243), the growth inhibition rate was calculated, plotted against the final compound concentration, and the data was fitted to Xfit to generate IC 50 values.

[0254] Example B: Biochemical (FP) Assay Assays based on fluorescent polarization (FP) are widely used in drug discovery due to their homogeneous format, robust performance, and lack of interference seen in other assays. Compounds were characterized using an assay that measures the displacement of a commercially available fluorescently labeled PARP1 / 2 inhibitor (PARPi-FL, Tocris Biosciences, No. 6461) as exemplified in the assays conducted in International Publication Nos. 2014 / 064149 and 2021 / 013735 (A1). The assay was performed using the following method. The compound was dissolved in DMSO and serially diluted in an Optiplate-384F plate at the desired concentration range using an Echo550 liquid handler. 100% DMSO was used for the high (protein present) and low (protein absent) control samples. 20 nL of the compound or DMSO alone was added to individual assay plate wells.

[0255] PARP1 and PARP2 proteins were expressed, purified, and diluted to a final concentration of 20 nM in an assay buffer containing 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 0.001% Triton® X-100, 10 mM MgCl2, and 150 mM NaCl. Then, PARPi-FL was added at a final concentration of 3 nM.

[0256] The assay plate was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute and incubated at room temperature for 4 hours.

[0262] Example C: Human Transporter Efflux in Vitro Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCKII) cells expressing MDR1 and BCRP were seeded at a density of 545,000 cells / cm2 on a Corning HTS Transwell® 96-well polycarbonate permeable (0.4 μm pore) support. Cells were incubated for 4 - 8 days prior to the assay, and monolayer integrity was evaluated by measuring trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Test compounds and reference compounds were diluted in transport buffer (HBSS HEPES pH 7.4) to concentrations of 10 and 1 μM, respectively. The final organic solvent concentration was 0.5% (v / v). Bidirectional (apical to basolateral and basolateral to apical) fluxes of test compounds and reference compounds were determined over a 2-hour incubation at 37 °C and 5% CO2 at 95% relative humidity. At the end of the incubation, samples were taken from the apical and basolateral sides and then precipitated with acetonitrile containing an internal standard. After centrifugation at 3200 × g, the supernatant was diluted 1:1 (v / v) with water and subjected to analysis by HPLC-MS / MS. Integrity

[0263] The apparent permeability (Papp, in units of ×10-6 cm / s) was calculated using the following equation. Papp = (dQ / dt) / (A × D0) where dQ / dt is the drug transport rate (pmol / s), A is the membrane surface area (0.143 cm 2 ) and D0 is the initial donor concentration (nM or pmol / cm3). Efflux ratio = Papp(B→A) / Papp(A→B) where Papp(B→A) is the apparent permeability in the basolateral to apical direction and Papp(A→B) is the apparent permeability in the apical to basolateral direction.

[0264] Example D: In vivo determination of rat Kp,uu Determination of the unbound fraction (Pu) in plasma.

[0265] The in vitro binding of the test article and reference compound to plasma proteins was examined using the equilibrium dialysis method. Plasma samples containing 5 μM of the test article or blank dialysis buffer (PBS, pH 7.4) were added to separate chambers of the dialysis wells of a high-throughput equilibrium dialysis (HTD) apparatus. The dialysis plate was sealed and placed in an incubator with 5% CO2 at 37 °C and shaken at approximately 100 rpm for 6 hours. All experiments were performed in duplicate. Ketoconazole (5 μM) was used as the reference compound. After incubation, the seals were removed and 50 μL of the post-dialysis samples were pipetted from both the buffer and plasma chambers into fresh 96-well plates. The samples were equimatrilyzed by addition either to the buffer sample of the blank sample or to the plasma sample of the blank buffer. . Subsequently, 400 μL (4 volumes) of acetonitrile containing internal standard was added to all samples to precipitate the protein, and then the relative concentration of the test article was determined by analysis by UPLC-MS / MS. The unbound fraction in plasma was calculated using the concentrations of the test article in the buffer and plasma samples according to the following formula.

[0266] Determination of the unbound fraction (Bu) in brain homogenate

[0267] The in vitro binding of the test article and reference compound to rodent brain homogenates was examined using the equilibrium dialysis method. Brains collected from naive animals were weighed and homogenized in 4 volumes of PBS, pH 7.4. Brain homogenate samples containing 1 μM of the test article or blank dialysis buffer (PBS, pH 7.4) were added to separate chambers of the dialysis wells of a high-throughput equilibrium dialysis (HTD) apparatus. The dialysis plate was sealed and placed in an incubator with 5% CO2 at 37 °C and shaken at approximately 100 rpm for 6 hours. All experiments were performed in duplicate. Telmisartan (5 μM) was used as the reference compound. After incubation, the seals were removed and 50 μL of the post-dialysis samples were pipetted into a new 96-well plate from both the buffer and brain homogenate chambers. The samples were equilibrated by either addition of the buffer sample to the blank homogenate or addition of the blank buffer to the homogenate sample. Subsequently, 400 μL (4 volumes) of acetonitrile containing internal standard was added to all samples to precipitate the proteins, which were then analyzed by UPLC-MS / MS to determine the relative concentration of the test article. The unbound fraction in the diluted brain homogenate was calculated using the concentrations of the test article in the buffer and homogenate samples according to the following equation.

[0269] Determination of the drug brain-to-plasma partition coefficient (Kp) and drug unbound Kp (Kp,uu) in rats

[0270] The compounds were formulated individually or in a cassette (as a mixture) in sterile water containing 0.5% (w / v) methylcellulose 400 cP at a concentration of 0.1 mg / mL / compound and administered to male Sprague-Dawley rats by forced oral gavage at a dose volume of 10 mL / kg. One animal was sacrificed at each time point of 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after dosing, and brain samples and blood samples were collected. Plasma was prepared from the blood via cold centrifugation, and the plasma samples were stored frozen at -80 °C until bioanalysis. The brain samples were rinsed with saline to remove residual blood, blotted dry with a paper wipe, and then weighed. The brain samples were then homogenized with 3 volumes (v / w) of water and stored frozen at -80 °C until bioanalysis.

[0271] Prior to bioanalysis, the plasma samples and brain samples were extracted with 4 volumes of acetonitrile containing an internal standard and centrifuged for 15 minutes. The supernatant was diluted with 2 volumes of water and injected for analysis by HPLC-MS / MS. Plasma and brain homogenate drug concentrations were determined against a calibration curve generated by spiking blank rat plasma or brain homogenate with the drug over an appropriate concentration range. Brain homogenate concentrations were corrected for the homogenization buffer dilution factor to obtain total brain drug concentrations.

[0272] The brain-to-plasma partition coefficient (Kp) for each compound was determined by calculating AUCbrain: AUCplasma, provided that tlast was the same for each matrix. If the drug concentration vs. time profile for one matrix dropped below the lower limit of quantification at an earlier time point than the other, the brain Kp was calculated as the mean of the ratios of the total brain drug concentration to the total plasma drug concentration measured at each time point where the drug concentrations in both matrices were quantifiable.

[0273] Next, Kp,uu was calculated from Kp using the following equation: Kp,uu = Kp × (unbound fraction in brain homogenate / unbound fraction in plasma).
