Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivative compound having histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitory activity, a production method thereof, and uses thereof. [Background technology]
[0002] In cells, post-translational modifications such as acetylation are very important regulatory modules at the center of biological processes and are tightly controlled by a large number of enzymes. Histones are the central proteins that make up chromatin, which act as the axis around which DNA wraps and help DNA condense. The balance between acetylation and deacetylation of histones also plays a very important role in gene expression.
[0003] Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that remove acetyl groups from lysine residues of histone proteins that constitute chromatin. They are known to be involved in gene silencing and induce cell cycle arrest, angiogenesis inhibition, immune regulation, cell death, etc. (Hassig et al., Curr. Opin. Chem. Biol. 1997, 1, 300-308). It has also been reported that inhibition of HDAC enzyme function reduces the activity of factors related to the survival of cancer cells in vivo and activates factors related to the death of cancer cells, thereby inducing the death of cancer cells themselves (Warrell et al., J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 1998, 90, 1621-1625).
[0004] In humans, 18 HDAC enzymes are known, and they are divided into four classes based on their homology with yeast HDACs. The 11 HDACs that use zinc as a cofactor are divided into three classes: Class I (HDAC1,2,3,8), Class II (IIa:HDAC4,5,7,9; IIb:HDAC6,10), and Class IV (HDAC11). In addition, seven HDACs in Class III (SIRT 1-7) use NAD instead of zinc. + as a cofactor (Bolden et al., Nat. Rev. Drug. Discov. 2006, 5(9), 769-784).
[0005] Although various HDAC inhibitors are in preclinical or clinical development, only nonselective HDAC inhibitors are known as anticancer drugs. Vorinostat (SAHA) and romidepsin (FK228) are approved as treatments for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and panobinostat (LBH-589) is approved as a treatment for multiple myeloma. However, nonselective HDACs inhibitors are known to cause side effects such as fatigue and vomiting at high doses (Piekarz et al., Pharmaceuticals 2010,3,2751-2767). These side effects have been reported to be due to inhibition of class I HDACs, and due to these side effects and other factors, non-selective HDACs inhibitors have limited the development of drugs in areas other than anticancer drugs (Witt et al., Cancer Letters 277 (2009) 8.21).
[0006] On the other hand, it has been reported that selective class II HDAC inhibition does not exhibit the toxicity seen with class I HDAC inhibition. Therefore, the development of selective HDAC inhibitors could eliminate the side effects such as toxicity caused by non-selective HDAC inhibition, and selective HDAC inhibitors may be developed as effective therapeutic agents for a variety of diseases (Matthias et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 2008, 28, 1688-1701).
[0007] HDAC6, one of the Class IIb HDACs, is mainly present in the cytoplasm and is known to be involved in the deacetylation of many non-histone substrates (HSP90, cortactin, etc.) including tubulating proteins (Yao et al., Mol. Cell 2005, 18, 601-607). HDAC6 has two catalytic domains, and the zinc finger domain at the C-terminus can bind to ubiquitinated proteins. HDAC6 has many non-histone proteins as substrates and is therefore known to play important roles in a variety of diseases, including cancer, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurological diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders (Santo et al., Blood 2012 119:2579-258; Vishwakarma et al., International Immunopharmacology 2013, 16, 72-78; Hu et al., J. Neurol. Sci. 2011, 304, 1-8).
[0008] The common structural features of various HDAC inhibitors are the cap group, linker group, and zinc binding group (ZBG), as shown in the following structure of vorinostat. Many researchers have studied the enzyme inhibitory activity and selectivity through the structural modification of the cap group and linker group. Among them, the zinc binding group is known to play a more important role in enzyme inhibitory activity and selectivity (Wiest et al., J. Org. Chem. 2013 78:5051-5065; Methot et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2008, 18, 973-978). [ka]
[0009] Most of the zinc-binding groups are hydroxamic acids or benzamides, among which hydroxamic acid derivatives show strong HDAC inhibitory effects, but have problems with low bioavailability and serious off-target activity. Benzamides contain aniline, which can generate toxic metabolites in vivo (Woster et al., Med. Chem. Commun. 2015, online publication).
[0010] Therefore, unlike non-selective inhibitors that have side effects, the development of selective HDAC6 inhibitors having a zinc-binding group that are free of side effects and have improved bioavailability is required for the treatment of cancer, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurological diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts can be obtained, for example, by dissolving the compound in a solution of excess alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, filtering the salt of the undissolved compound, and evaporating and drying the filtrate. In this case, as the metal salt, it is particularly suitable to prepare sodium, potassium, or calcium salts, but this is not limited thereto. Corresponding silver salts can also be obtained by reacting alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts with a suitable silver salt (e.g., silver nitrate).
