[Background technology]

[0002] MET is a member of the class IV receptor tyrosine kinase family and is expressed on the surface of many different cell types, including epithelial cells in many organs, including the liver, pancreas, prostate, kidney, muscle, and bone marrow, during both embryonic development and adulthood. Hepatocyte growth factor binding induces receptor dimerization and activation. MET regulates many essential cellular processes during development and wound healing, including cell proliferation, survival, motility, and morphogenesis. Aberrant MET activity is observed in many different human cancers. Therefore, therapeutics targeting MET kinase activity are desirable for the treatment of cancer and other diseases characterized by aberrant MET pathway signaling. Summary of the Invention

[0071] MET tyrosine kinase The MET protein is a member of the class IV receptor tyrosine kinase family and is expressed on the surface of many different cell types, including epithelial cells of many organs, such as the liver, pancreas, prostate, kidney, muscle, and bone marrow, during both embryonic development and adulthood. MET regulates many essential cellular processes during development and wound healing, including cell proliferation, survival, motility, and morphogenesis. Abnormal MET activity is observed in many different human cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer, medulloblastoma, lymphoma, melanoma, glioma, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer, as well as osteosarcoma and some soft tissue sarcomas.

[0072] The c-MET proto-oncogene is located on chromosome 7q21-31, and its transcription is regulated by Ets (E-twenty six), Pax3 (paired box 3), AP2 (activator protein-2), and Tcf-4 (transcription factor 4). It is expressed as multiple mRNA transcripts of 8, 7, 4.5, 3, and 1.5 kilobases. The protein product of this gene is the MET receptor tyrosine kinase.

[0073] Structurally, MET is a single-pass transmembrane protein with an extracellular domain, a transmembrane hydrophobic sequence, and an intracellular portion containing a tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular domain of MET is composed of three domain types: a semaphorin (Sema) domain, a PSI domain, and four immunoglobulin-plexin-transcription (IPT) domains. The N-terminal 500 residues fold to form a large Sema domain, which shares sequence homology with domains found in the semaphorin and plexin families. The PSI domain (found in plexins, semaphorins, and integrins) follows the Sema domain and spans approximately 50 residues, connecting it to the IPT domain. The four IPT domains are related to immunoglobulin-like domains and are found in integrins, plexins, and transcription factors. The C-terminal IPT domain is then connected to a single transmembrane helix that connects the extracellular domain to the intracellular domain. The intracellular domain of the MET receptor contains a juxtamembrane domain containing residue Y1003, which is involved in receptor downregulation, a tyrosine kinase catalytic domain containing residues Y1234 and Y1235, which is involved in signal transduction, and a docking site for adaptor proteins containing residues Y1349 and Y1356.

[0074] The extracellular portion of MET binds to its cognate ligand, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and its native isoform, NK1, resulting in the dimerization of the two MET proteins. Dimerization leads to trans-autophosphorylation of two tyrosine residues (Y1234 and Y1235) located within the catalytic loop of the tyrosine kinase domain of the intracellular portion. Subsequently, tyrosine residues 1349 and 1356 in the carboxy-terminal tail are phosphorylated, thereby forming a unique tandem SH2 recognition motif, leading to the recruitment of signal effector proteins (e.g., GAB1, GRB2, SHC, CRK, PI3K, PLCγ1, SHP2, and STAT3) involved in downstream signal transduction.

[0075] HGF, the primary ligand for MET, is a secreted, single-chain 83 kDa precursor protein. Full-length HGF contains an N-terminal (N) domain, four consecutive kringle (K1-K4) domains, and a serine protease homology (SPH) domain. Proteolytic cleavage between Arg494 and Val495 of HGF generates a 57 kDa α subunit and a 26 kDa β subunit, which are covalently linked by a disulfide bond between Cys487 of the α subunit and Cys604 of the β subunit. Although both pro-HGF and cleaved HGF can bind to MET with high affinity, only cleaved mature HGF can activate MET signaling. NK1, a natural isoform of HGF, can also bind to and activate MET.

[0076] In malignant solid tumors, HGF is primarily expressed and released by surrounding stromal cells, allowing tumor and stromal cells to communicate with each other through HGF, creating a microenvironment that contributes to cancer progression. For example, HGF derived from the tumor stroma acts on tumor cells, stimulating not only proliferation and metastasis but also the production of HGF inducers. These HGF inducers, including bFGF, IL-1β, TGF-α, PDGF, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), act on stromal fibroblasts, inducing further HGF expression. This creates a feedback loop that promotes increased MET activation in tumors. Thus, interactions between tumor and stromal cells continuously promote tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Furthermore, HGF can also be produced by the tumor itself; this phenomenon has been detected in renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, glioma, multiple myeloma, as well as synovial sarcoma, osteosarcoma, and fibrosarcoma.

[0077] Dysregulation of the MET pathway in cancer occurs through various mechanisms, including gene mutation, amplification, rearrangement, and protein overexpression. Several MET fusions have been identified, including the fusion between c-MET and TPR (translocated promoter region nuclear basket protein gene) found in mutagenized osteosarcoma cell lines and the fusion between c-MET and KIF5B (kinesin family member 5B gene) detected in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, mutations at the MET splice site leading to exon 14 skipping are important molecular drivers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Such exon skipping mutations have recently been shown to occur in 3%–4% of NSCLC adenocarcinomas, 2% of squamous cell carcinomas, and 1%–8% of other lung cancer subtypes. These exon skipping mutations often result in persistent MET activation, driving tumorigenesis through downstream signaling pathways.

[0078] MET activation and intracellular signaling pathways MET activation initiates a series of intracellular signaling pathways, including PI3K / AKT, Ras / MAPK, JAK / STAT, SRC, Wnt / β-catenin, and other signaling pathways, thereby regulating proliferation, motility, migration, and invasion. Under normal physiological conditions, MET is important in controlling tissue homeostasis and wound healing, but in cancer, aberrant MET activation promotes tumor growth, enhanced metastasis, and drug resistance through these pathways.

[0079] The Ras / MAPK / ERK signaling pathway transmits signals from cell surface receptors, including MET, to DNA in the cell's nucleus, where regulation of gene expression occurs. Although the signaling cascade involves many different proteins that propagate signals through protein phosphorylation, the pathway can generally be divided into three steps: (i) Ras activation, (ii) the kinase signaling cascade, and (iii) regulation of translation and transcription. Briefly, MET activation leads to Ras activation, which phosphorylates and activates the protein kinase activity of RAF kinase. RAF kinase then phosphorylates and activates MEK (MEK1 and MEK2), which phosphorylates and activates MAPK (also known as ERK) proteins. MAPK activation regulates the activity of several transcription factors, regulating protein expression. MAPK alters the levels and activity of transcription factors, thereby altering the transcription of genes important for the cell cycle. Depending on the stimulus and cell type, this pathway can transmit signals that result in the prevention or induction of apoptosis or cell cycle progression. In cancer, aberrant Ras activation can lead to tumor growth, evasion of apoptosis, local tissue invasion, and metastasis.

[0080] The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) / protein kinase B (PKB / AKT) signaling pathway is involved in regulating multiple cellular physiological processes, including metabolism, proliferation, cell survival, growth, and angiogenesis. PI3K is a member of the lipid kinase family and is activated by phosphorylation of the 3-hydroxyl group of phosphatidylinositol lipids in the plasma membrane, forming phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 binds to PKB / Akt at the plasma membrane, allowing pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) to access and phosphorylate T308 in the "activation loop" of Akt, resulting in partial PKB / Akt activation. Subsequent phosphorylation of Akt at S473 in the carboxy-terminal hydrophobic motif by either mTOR or DNA-PK stimulates full Akt activity. Activation of Akt leads to additional substrate-specific phosphorylation events in both the cytoplasm and nucleus, including activation of CREB, inhibition of p27, cytoplasmic localization of FOXO, activation of PtdIns-3ps, and activation of mTOR. Through these downstream effectors, the PI3K / Akt pathway mediates many cellular functions that promote cancer progression, including angiogenesis, metabolism, growth, proliferation, survival, protein synthesis, transcription, and apoptosis.

[0081] The JAK-STAT pathway is essential for a wide range of cytokines and growth factors, resulting in crucial cellular events such as cell differentiation, hematopoiesis, and immune system development. The JAK / STAT signaling pathway also plays a key role in the proliferation and survival of various cancer types. Activation of Janus kinase (JAK) by MET leads to the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins, which then dimerize and translocate to the nucleus, where they regulate gene expression and promote tumor growth. For example, STAT3 is a key driver of tumorigenesis, regulating the expression of many oncogenes, including BCL-XL, c-MYC, Mcl1, survivin, BEGF, HIF-1α, HGF, IL-12, and MMPs. In this way, the JAK / STAT pathway promotes tumor progression by enhancing cell proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and immune evasion.

[0082] The Wnt / β-catenin signaling pathway is a conserved signaling axis involved in diverse physiological processes such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and tissue homeostasis. Activation of the Wnt / β-catenin signaling pathway leads to increased cytosolic concentrations of β-catenin, which translocates to the nucleus and interacts with T cell-specific factors (TCFs) / lymphoid enhancer-binding factors (LEFs) and their coactivators, such as Pygopus and Bcl-9. This then enhances the expression of target genes, including c-Myc, cyclin D1, and CDKN1A, which promote cancer stem cell renewal, cell proliferation, and differentiation, thus playing an important role in tumorigenesis and therapeutic response. Therefore, by regulating various tumorigenic signaling pathways, MET is a major driver of tumor growth, survival, invasion, and metastasis.

[0083] MET kinase inhibitors Several drugs targeting MET or HGF, including small molecule inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, have been developed. Monoclonal antibodies currently approved by the FDA or undergoing clinical evaluation include anti-MET antibodies (e.g., onartuzumab and emibetuzumab), anti-HGF antibodies (e.g., ficlatuzumab and rilotumumab), and anti-MET / EGFR bispecific antibodies (e.g., amivantamab). These therapies prevent HGF from binding to MET, thereby terminating MET activation. In addition, many small molecule MET inhibitors, including capmatinib, tepotinib, crizotinib, cabozantinib, MGCD265, AMG208, altiratinib, and golvatinib, have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of cancer. Of these, two selective MET inhibitors, capmatinib (Tabrecta®) and tepotinib (Tepmetko®), are FDA-approved for the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping mutations. Cabozantinib (Cabometyx®) is FDA-approved for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer.

[0084] Small molecule MET-specific inhibitors are divided into two functionally distinct classes: type I inhibitors (e.g., crizotinib, capmatinib, tepotinib, and savolitinib), which preferentially bind to the active conformation of MET, and type II inhibitors (e.g., cabozantinib and glesatinib), which preferentially bind to the inactive conformation of MET. Furthermore, selective MET inhibitors include adenosine triphosphate-competitive inhibitors and adenosine triphosphate-noncompetitive inhibitors (e.g., tivantinib). Type I MET inhibitors are further subdivided into type Ia inhibitors (e.g., crizotinib), which interact with the solvent-leading G1163 residue, and type Ib inhibitors (e.g., capmatinib, tepotinib, and savolitinib), which bind to the kinase domain.

[0085] Type I and type II MET inhibitors each have unique efficacy profiles with respect to secondary MET mutations that confer resistance to MET inhibitors. For example, mutations at residues D1228 and Y1230 in the kinase domain confer resistance to type I MET inhibitors in vitro by weakening the interaction between the drug and the MET kinase domain. Resistance to all type I MET inhibitors has been identified in clinical trials in patients with secondary mutations at these positions. In addition, a mutation at the solvent-edge G1163R confers resistance to the type Ia MET inhibitor crizotinib but not to type Ib MET inhibitors such as tepotinib, savolitinib, or capatinib in vitro. However, type II MET inhibitors retain varying degrees of efficacy against many cancers harboring these mutations that render type I inhibitors ineffective. Given the significant resistance these mutations confer to MET inhibitors, there is a significant unmet clinical need for MET inhibitors that maintain efficacy against tumors harboring these and other mutations.
