Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to novel PLK1 degradation-inducing compounds, their production methods, and uses. The present invention can specifically act on abnormal cells through the effective degradation of PLK1, and can be useful in the treatment of various diseases. [Background technology]
[0002] Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a serine / threonine kinase known to be involved in the G2 / M transition during cell growth and division. PLK1 is expressed and activated in a pulsatile manner from the S phase to the G2 / M phase, and is rapidly degraded upon completion of mitosis.
[0003] PLK1 is overexpressed in various cancers, including colorectal cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, and melanoma, and cancer cells that overexpress PLK1 tend to be resistant to various anticancer drugs. As PLK1 dependence has become apparent in various cancers, attempts have been made to develop PLK1 inhibitor compounds, such as volasertib (also known as BI6727).
[0004] However, existing PLK1 inhibitors have not been able to sufficiently inhibit PLK1 activity at clinically safe concentrations. Even if they temporarily delay the cell cycle of cancer cells, some cancer cells ultimately resume cell cycle resumption, resulting in insufficient clinical efficacy (see, for example, Gheghiani et al., Cell Reports, 2017, 19: 2060). Indeed, while numerous pharmaceutical companies, including Boehringer Ingelheim and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), have attempted to develop small molecule-based PLK1 inhibitors, most have failed or been discontinued during clinical trials, and to date, no commercially available PLK1 inhibitors have been developed. This indicates that the pharmacological mechanism of small molecule inhibitors, which bind to the active site of PLK1 and inhibit its enzymatic activity, is not sufficiently effective in the development of new drugs aimed at inhibiting PLK1 activity in cancer cells to achieve anti-cancer effects.
[0005] Recently, proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have been proposed as a small molecule-based platform technology capable of inducing proteolysis of target proteins in vivo. PROTACs are bifunctional compounds consisting of a ligand molecule that binds to a disease-related target protein and an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety attached via a chemical linker. In theory, PROTAC compounds can induce target protein degradation by placing disease-related target proteins in proximity to E3 ubiquitin ligases. Based on this novel mechanism distinct from conventional inhibitors, many PROTAC compounds have been developed as therapeutic agents for cancer, inflammatory diseases, and other conditions, and are being investigated for various applications (e.g., as payloads for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)). However, not all types of linkers or conjugates are active in PROTACs. Numerous studies have demonstrated that for a PROTAC to exhibit the desired level of efficacy, the appropriate combination of each linker and conjugate is required (see reference [US2020-0325130A]). In particular, when targeting CRBN (cereblon) E3 ligase, depending on the type of binding moiety or the structure of the compound bound to it, there is a risk of degrading CRBN neo-substrates (e.g., GSPT1, IKZF1 / 3) or exhibiting associated off-target toxicity. Therefore, when developing PROTAC drugs, it is important to select an appropriate binding moiety and optimize the structure of all compounds to avoid unexpected toxicity.
[0006] In the case of PROTAC compounds targeting PLK1, Chinese Patent Application Publication No. 106543185A discloses a bifunctional compound in which a volasertib derivative compound and an E3 ubiquitin ligase CRBN binding moiety are linked via a chemical linker. However, while the prior art document describes limited examples of the synthesis of PROTAC compounds, the target degradation activity and selectivity of PROTACs can generally be significantly altered by selecting the target protein moiety, E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety, etc. (see, for example, Burslem and Crews, Chemical Reviews, 2017, 117(17): 11269).
[0007] Furthermore, the PROTAC compounds described in the literature are characterized by their ability to simultaneously degrade PLK1 and BRD4, but they also induce the degradation of various proteins, including other PLK family proteins and BRD4, in addition to PLK1, posing a problem of causing side effects due to off-target toxicity during drug development. In particular, given that it is already known that strong inhibition of BRD4 activity inevitably leads to on-target toxicity, such as hematotoxicity and gastrointestinal toxicity, along with pharmacological effects, the more effectively the PROTAC compounds described in the literature degrade BRD4, the greater the clinical side effects are expected to be (see, for example, Bolden et al. CULM Reports, 2014, 8(6): 1919).
[0008] Furthermore, according to a paper published by the inventor of the aforementioned paper [Mu et al. BBRC, 2020, 521(4):833], the PROTAC compound that simultaneously degrades PLK1 and BRD4 is far more potent at degrading BRD4 than PLK1 at the cellular level, arresting the cell cycle almost in G1 phase, and thus confirming that it actually acts solely as a BRD4 inhibitor, regardless of the way in which conventional PLK1 inhibitors exert their pharmacological effects.
[0009] Thus, there is an unmet need for effective PLK1 degradation-inducing compounds that are free of or have minimal side effects (eg, off-target toxicity). Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
