Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention claims priority to: CN2022111197111, filing date: September 14, 2022; CN2023111054610, filing date: August 29, 2023.

[0002] The present invention relates to a naphthofuran-substituted glutarimide-based compound crystal, a preparation method thereof, and its use. Specifically, the present invention relates to a crystal of Compound 1 and its preparation. [Background technology]

[0003] Because androgen receptor signaling plays an important role in the pathogenic mechanism of prostate cancer and is known to be involved in the development of other androgen receptor-positive cancers, inhibition of androgen receptor signaling by antiandrogens that antagonize the androgen receptor has been used or proposed for the treatment of prostate cancer.

[0004] The AR gene encodes the androgen receptor protein, whose ligands are primarily testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. This receptor is widely distributed in most organs and tissues of the human body and mediates the biological effects of androgens. The androgen receptor can bind to heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the cytoplasm. When androgens bind to the androgen receptor, the receptor is activated, dissociating the HSPs. The androgen receptor then dimerizes and enters the nucleus, where it binds to androgen response elements (AREs) on DNA, initiating the transcription and expression of a series of genes downstream of the elements, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), and the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p21WAF1 / CIPI. This ultimately leads to cell differentiation and promotes tissue and organ development. Androgens function to maintain prostate growth and development. In an androgen-free environment, prostate cells spontaneously undergo apoptosis, whereas in an environment with normal androgen levels, prostate cells can continue to grow and differentiate. Therefore, some studies suggest that both excessive secretion of androgens and excessive response of androgen receptors cause uninhibited proliferation of prostate cells and are risk factors for the development and progression of prostate cancer.

[0005] Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancers among men in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death, with more than 200,000 new cases and more than 30,000 deaths annually in the United States. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment for advanced PCa. Patients with advanced PCa receive ADT with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, LHRH antagonists, or bilateral orchiectomy. Despite an initial response to ADT, disease progression is inevitable, and the cancer manifests as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Up to 30% of prostate cancer patients treated with primary radiation or surgery develop metastatic disease within 10 years of primary treatment. Approximately 50,000 patients develop metastatic disease each year, referred to as metastatic CRPC (mCRPC).

[0006] Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) is a technology that utilizes the ubiquitin-proteasome system to target specific proteins and induce their intracellular degradation. The ubiquitin-proteasome system is the primary pathway for intracellular protein degradation and is primarily responsible for removing denatured, mutated, or harmful proteins from cells as a normal physiological function. More than 80% of intracellular protein degradation relies on the ubiquitin-proteasome system. PROTAC utilizes the cell's own protein destruction mechanism to remove specific target proteins in cells.

[0007] The present invention describes compounds, including compositions of matter, that function to recruit endogenous proteins to E3 ubiquitin ligases, such as cereblon (CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligase, for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation, as well as methods of using the same. In particular, the present invention provides bifunctional or proteolysis-directed chimeric molecules (PROTAC) compounds that have been found to act as modulators of targeted ubiquitination and androgen receptor (AR) degradation.

[0048] [Definitions and Explanations] Unless otherwise stated, the following terms and phrases used herein have the following meanings. A particular phrase or term, unless specifically defined, should be understood to have its ordinary definition, not to be indefinite or unclear. When a trade name appears in this specification, it refers to the corresponding product or its active ingredient.

[0049] It is well known in the field of crystallography that for any given crystalline form, the relative intensities of diffraction peaks can vary due to factors such as preferred orientation due to crystal morphology. While the influence of preferred orientation can alter peak intensities, the positions of the diffraction peaks of a crystal cannot. Furthermore, it is well known in the field of crystallography that slight errors in peak positions can exist for any given crystal. For example, peak positions can shift due to temperature changes during sample analysis, sample movement, or instrument calibration, resulting in a measurement error of approximately ±0.2 degrees for the 2θ values. Therefore, it is well known to those skilled in the art that this error must be taken into account when determining the structure of each crystal.

[0050] DSC measures the transition temperatures that occur when heat is absorbed or released due to changes in crystalline structure or crystalline melting. For the same crystal of the same compound, the error between the thermal transition temperature and melting point in consecutive analyses is usually within approximately 5°C or 3°C. If a compound has a specific DSC peak or melting point, this means that the DSC peak or melting point is within ±5°C or ±3°C. DSC provides an auxiliary method for distinguishing different crystals. Different crystals can be identified based on their different transition temperature characteristics. It should be noted that for mixtures, the DSC peak or melting point may vary over a wider range. Furthermore, because the melting process of a substance involves decomposition, the melting temperature is related to the heating rate.

[0051] For the same crystal, the weight loss temperature in TGA may vary depending on factors such as the measuring instrument, measurement method / conditions, etc. For any particular crystal, there may be an error in the weight loss temperature, which may be about ±5°C or about ±3°C.

[0052] It should be noted that in the preparation of drug crystals, when drug molecules and solvent molecules come into contact with each other, external and internal conditions can cause the solvent molecules and compound molecules to form a eutectic, which is difficult to avoid remaining in the solid material, resulting in the formation of solvates, specifically including stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. Both of these solvates are included within the scope of the present invention.

[0053] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" refers to an inert substance that is co-administered with an active ingredient and facilitates the administration of the active ingredient, and includes, but is not limited to, any flow aid, sweetener, diluent, preservative, dye / colorant, flavor enhancer, surfactant, wetting agent, dispersant, disintegrant, suspending agent, stabilizer, isotonic agent, solvent, or emulsifier that is approved by the State Food and Drug Administration of China for use in humans or animals (e.g., livestock).

[0054] The term "crystalline composition" refers to a mixture of a crystal of Compound 1 of the present invention with other crystalline or amorphous substances of the compound, or other impurities. For example, a crystalline composition of Form A crystal of Compound 1 contains, in addition to Form A crystal of Compound 1, other crystalline or amorphous substances of Compound 1, or other impurities.

[0055] The term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a mixture of one or more compounds of the present invention or salts thereof with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration of the compounds of the present invention to an organism.

[0056] The therapeutic dosage of a compound of the invention may be determined based on, for example, the particular therapeutic application, the manner in which the compound is administered, the patient's health condition, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a compound of the invention in a pharmaceutical composition is not fixed and will depend upon various factors, including dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and route of administration.

[0057] The term "treatment" means administering a compound or formulation according to the present invention to ameliorate or eliminate a disease or one or more symptoms associated with said disease; (i) inhibiting a disease or disease state, i.e., arresting its development; (ii) alleviating a disease or disease state, i.e., eliminating the disease or disease state This includes:

[0058] The term "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount of a compound of the present invention that (i) treats a particular disease, condition, or disorder, (ii) reduces, ameliorates, or eliminates one or more symptoms of a particular disease, condition, or disorder, or (iii) prevents or delays the onset of one or more symptoms of a particular disease, condition, or disorder described herein. The amount of a compound of the present invention that constitutes a "therapeutically effective amount" varies depending on the compound, the disease state and its severity, the method of administration, and the age of the mammal being treated, but can be determined routinely by one of ordinary skill in the art in light of their own knowledge and the present invention.

[0059] Unless otherwise required by the present invention, throughout this specification and the claims that follow, the word "comprise" and its English variants such as "comprises" and "comprising" are to be interpreted in an open-ended and inclusive sense, i.e., "including but not limited to."

[0060] Throughout this specification, a reference to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" or "another embodiment" or "in some embodiments" means that at least one embodiment includes the particular referenced element, structure, or feature described in that embodiment. Thus, the appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" or "in another embodiment" or "in some embodiments" in various places throughout this specification do not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, particular elements, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0061] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular form "a" (corresponding to the English words "a," "an," and "the") should be understood to include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to a reaction including a "catalyst" includes one catalyst, or two or more catalysts. It should further be understood that the term "or" is generally used in its sense to include "and / or" unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
