Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to compounds for targeting fibroblast activation proteins (FAPs) in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), in particular FAP targeting agents based on a (4-quinoinolyl)glycinyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffold. [Background technology]

[0002] Various FAP targeting agents based on the (4-quinolinolyl)glycinyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffold have been developed and studied in the prior art for tumor imaging and treatment (see Lindner et al., Cancers 2021, 13, 5744). Early FAP targeting agents were disclosed by Jansen et al., ACS Med. Chem. Lett. 2013, 4, 491-496 and Jansen et al., J. Med. Chem. 2014, 57, 3053-3074, which describes UAMC-1110, a FAP inhibitor with a fluorinated (4-quinolinol)-glycyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffold and nanomolar affinity for FAP.

[0003] For a FAP-targeting agent to be clinically meaningful, it must be functionalized with a payload, such as a radioisotope, fluorescent dye, or cytotoxic drug. For this purpose, the quinolinol moiety of the scaffold is commonly used. The current reference compound in clinical use is FAPI-46 (Loktev et al., Journal of Nuclear Medicine 2019 October, 60(10)1421-1429). FAPI-46 was developed after the development of FAPI-04 (Lindner et al., J. Nucl. Med. 2018;59:1415-1422) and showed an improved tumor-to-organ ratio compared to FAPI-04.

[0004] Other functionalized FAP-targeting compounds are described in WO 2021 / 160825 and Millul et al., PNAS 2021, Vol. 118, No. 16, e2101852118, and are referred to as OncoFAPs. These compounds are functionalized on the quinoinolyl using a bridging nitrogen extending to a carboxylic acid group that allows for connection to a payload. The drawback of this carboxylic acid group is that most metal chelating groups, prosthetic groups, optical dyes, etc. are not readily available as carboxylic acid-reactive substances. They are typically commercially available as amine-reactive substances. Therefore, in OncoFAP compounds, an additional linker (-NHCH2-CH2-NH-) is used to expose an amine that can react with a payload.

[0005] Other FAP targeting compounds are also described in WO2019 / 083990.

[0006] Despite recent advances, there remains a need to provide improved platforms and improved FAP targeting agents based on the (4-quinoinolyl)glycinyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffold. However, previous research and development has shown that FAPs impose strict structural requirements on their inhibitors, and steric or electronic parameters are not sufficient to rationalize assay data (Jansen et al., J. Med. Chem. 2014, 57, 3053-3074). Therefore, developing new FAP targeting agents is difficult, because it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict which substituents and positions on the (4-quinoinolyl)glycinyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffold will yield good inhibitors.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a platform that allows access to such compounds. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The present inventors have surprisingly found that substituting a carbon or oxygen atom at position 8 of the (4-quinoinolyl)glycinyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffold provides a variety of FAP targeting agents that exhibit good FAP binding affinity and / or tumor uptake, including good tumor-to-organ distribution.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] scaffold Thus, the present invention is directed to scaffolds and compounds, particularly pharmaceutical compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, comprising a (4-quinoinolyl)glycinyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffold (also referred to herein as a scaffold) in which the 8-position of the quinoinolyl moiety is substituted with a bridging carbon or oxygen atom. The bridging carbon or oxygen atom is attached to or allows attachment to a payload such as a therapeutic agent, a diagnostic agent, or a combination thereof, preferably a radioisotope, a fluorescent dye, a drug, or a combination thereof. The scaffold is depicted in the structure below, which also shows the numbering of the quinoinolyl moiety:

[0013] [ka]

[0014] It will be appreciated that this scaffold may contain additional substituents such as fluoride and others known for FAP inhibitors based on the (4-quinoinolyl)glycinyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffold.

[0015] More particularly, the present invention provides a compound of formula (I):

[0016] [ka]

[0017] (In the formula, X represents CH2 or O, preferably O, R 1 is H, Me, CH(CH3)C2H5, CH2CH(CH3)2, CH(CH3)2, CH2OH, CH2SH, CH(OH)CH3, CH2C(O)NH2, CH2CH2C(O)NH2, (CH2) q CO2H, (CH2) q NH2, where q is 1 to 4; R 2 and R 3 each independently represents H or F. The present invention relates to a compound or a salt thereof comprising a scaffold of the formula:

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the moiety of formula (I) is of formula (II)

[0019] [ka]

[0020] (In the formula, R 4 represents a spacer, preferably an optionally substituted hydrocarbon, preferably aliphatic, spacer, Q contains the payload) As exemplified by 4 The antibody is conjugated to a payload such as a therapeutic agent, a diagnostic agent, or a combination thereof via

[0021] Among the (4-quinoinolyl)glycinyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffolds of the present invention, preferred are those in which R 2 and R 3 At least one of is F, more preferably at least R 2 is F (R 2 and R 3 is achiral), most preferably R 2 and R 3 are both F.

[0022] R 1 The substituent is preferably H.

[0023] Spacers and Linkers R 4 The spacer represented by the formula (IIIa) (wherein R 4' represents an optionally substituted hydrocarbylene or an optionally substituted alkylene ether, preferably alkylene, more preferably C1-C8 alkylene), contains a nitrogen atom, which can be used to connect Q to the (4-quinoinolyl)glycinyl-2-cyanopyrrolidine scaffold.

[0024] [ka]

[0025] Spacer (R 4 and R 4' ) can be substituted or interrupted with one or more heteroatoms such as one or more of OH, NH, SO, and halogens such as F, Cl, Br, and I. 4 and R 4'is preferably based on an aliphatic C1-C8 amino terminal spacer. Such spacers have been found to provide particularly good FAP binding affinity and tumor uptake. Thus, a particularly preferred embodiment of the compounds of the present invention is a compound of formula (IIIb):

[0026] [ka]

[0027] (wherein n is 1 to 6, preferably 1). It has a structure as follows.

[0028] Compounds of structure according to formula (IIIa) and (IIIb) containing a Q functional group can be represented by formula (VIIa) and (VIIb)

[0029] [ka]

[0030] (In the formula, X, R 1 ~R 4 , R 4' and n is as defined for formulas (IIIa) and (IIIb). Advantageously, this amine-terminated compound can be directly reacted and / or conjugated with most commercially available metal chelating groups, prosthetic groups, optical dyes, etc. Thus, this intermediate compound is highly versatile and is an aspect of the present invention.

[0031] The group represented by Q (also referred to herein simply as Q) comprises at least one payload, such as a therapeutic agent and / or a diagnostic agent. It will be understood that in addition to this payload, Q may also comprise a linking functional group (also referred to herein as a linker), one or more additional scaffolds, and / or a combination of at least two of a radioisotope, a fluorescent dye, and a drug.

[0032] In certain embodiments, Q is R4 or NHR 4' The linker may serve to link one or more payloads and one or more scaffolds. The linker may aid in the solubility of the compound. For example, 4-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid (GABOB) can be used to aid in water solubility and lower lipophilicity (as observed by logP values). The linker may be cleavable or non-cleavable (see, e.g., Kovtun et al., Cancer Letters 255 (2007) 232-240; Beck et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 16 (2017) 315-337; and WO2021 / 160825), or a combination of both (i.e., one or more cleavable moieties linking one or more payloads and one or more other non-cleavable moieties linking one or more other payloads or scaffolds).

[0033] The compound containing the linker L has the formula (IV)

[0034] [ka]

[0035] (wherein L represents a linker, Q 1 comprises a payload, Z comprises an additional scaffold, r is 1 or greater, and s is 0 or greater). The additional scaffold can preferably be represented by the formula (Z)

[0036] [ka]

[0037] (Wherein, X and R 1 ~R 4 represents a group as defined for formula (II) It can be seen that the structure is as follows:

[0038] The linker may comprise a cleavable section, a non-cleavable section, and a combination thereof. As used herein, a section refers to a structural feature that connects a scaffold to one or more payloads and optional additional scaffolds. Because a linker can connect a scaffold to multiple payloads and additional scaffolds, the linker can contain multiple sections, each of which can be cleavable or non-cleavable. Whether a cleavable or non-cleavable section of the linker is preferred depends, inter alia, on the payload. It can be understood that when a compound comprises a single payload (i.e., r=1) and no additional scaffold (i.e., s=0), the linker may comprise a single linker section.

[0039] Typically, when the linker connects a fluorophore dye and / or a radioisotope and stability of the scaffold and payload is desired, the linker comprises a non-cleavable linker section, which is also preferred for attaching additional scaffolds.

[0040] Suitable non-cleavable linker sections in this regard may be based on or include straight-chain or branched amino acids, such as glycine, alanine, β-alanine, 3-aminopropionic acid, 4-aminobutyric acid, 4-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid, 5-aminovaleric acid, 6-aminohexanoic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 8-aminooctanoic acid, 9-aminononanoic acid, 10-aminodecanoic acid, 2-aminooctanoic acid, etc. In some embodiments, the linker comprises a peptide spacer (Xaa) 1~4 wherein each Xaa is independently a proteinogenic or non-proteinogenic amino acid residue, and wherein each peptide backbone amino group is independently optionally methylated. In certain embodiments, each non-proteinogenic amino acid residue is a D-amino acid, N-amino acid, or D-amino acid of a proteinogenic amino acid. ε ,N ε ,N ε-trimethyl-lysine, 2,3-diaminopropionic acid (Dap), 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (Dab), ornithine (Orn), homoarginine (hArg), 2-amino-4-guanidinobutyric acid (Agb), 2-amino-3-guanidinopropionic acid (Agp), β-alanine, 4-aminobutyric acid, 5-aminovaleric acid, 6-aminohexanoic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, 8-aminooctanoic acid, 9-aminononanoic acid, 10-aminodecanoic acid, 2-aminooctanoic acid, 2-aminoadipic acid (2-Aad), 3-aminoadipic acid (3-Aad), 4-(aminomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carbonyl (Amcha), 4-amino-1-carboxymethyl-piperidinyl (Pip), cysteic acid, diglycolic acid, and NH2(CH2)2[O(CH2)2] t C(O)OH (where t=1 to 36). The linker may contain one or more of these aforementioned groups. For example, the linker may be based on a single GABOB unit, such as in eFAP-27 (see below), but it may also be based on two (or more), such as in eFAP-24 (see below).

[0041] In a further preferred embodiment, the linker L has the formula La to Ln;

[0042] [ka]

[0043] (In the formula, further, Y 1 is selected from the group consisting of C and N, preferably N for formulae La, Lg and Lh, and C for formula Ld, Y 2 is selected from the group consisting of C, N, and O, preferably N and C, more preferably C) The compound includes a moiety having a structure shown in any one of the following:

[0044] In still further preferred embodiments, the linker L comprises a moiety having a structure according to any of formulas Laa, Lfa, Lga, Lha, and Lma, which are specific versions of formulas La, Lf, Lg, Lh, and Lm, respectively.

[0045] [ka]

[0046] Unless the stereochemistry of an atom is specifically shown herein, it is understood that the stereochemistry of said atom is undefined, and that the structure represents all possible stereoisomers of said atom. For example, the structure Lfa represents at least two diastereoisomers: trans and cis isomers. However, preferably, the linker represented by this formula has a trans configuration, as shown by the following formula Lfa':

[0047] [ka]

[0048] Linkers having structures according to Formula IIaa and Lfa are based on 4-amino-1-carboxymethyl-piperidinyl (Pip) and 4-(aminomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carbonyl (Amcha), respectively. Pip-containing linkers, like any other amine-containing linkers disclosed herein, may be cationic under physiological conditions, thereby affecting the overall charge of the conjugate. Preferably, the linker comprises Amcha or Pip.

[0049] In certain embodiments, the linker may comprise a cleavable linker section comprising a moiety that is cleavable in vivo. Such linker sections are particularly preferred when the payload comprises a drug that would benefit from delivery and release from the scaffold at a target site, such as near or within tumor cells (see, e.g., Kovtun et al., Cancer Letters 255 (2007) 232-240; Beck et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 16 (2017) 315-337; and WO2021 / 160825).

[0050] Therefore, enzyme-sensitive cleavable linker sections are preferred linker sections, most preferred are cleavable sections that are sensitive to enzymes that are overexpressed in tumors, such as glutathione.

[0051] Examples of cleavable moieties that can be included in the cleavable linker section include amides, esters, carbamates, hydrazones, thiazolidines, methylenealkoxycarbamates, and disulfides. The cleavable moiety may comprise one or more of such moieties and may, for example, comprise a peptide, oligosaccharide, or another oligomeric sequence that can be selectively cleaved in vivo.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the cleavable moiety comprises a disulfide moiety or a terminal thiol that allows for disulfide linkage to a payload that also comprises a terminal thiol (e.g., mertansine or DM1).

[0053] Thus, in certain preferred embodiments, the cleavable linker section is based on or comprises a linear or branched mercaptocarboxylic acid, such as thioglycolic acid, thiolactic acid (also known as 2-mercaptopropionic acid), 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA), etc. Thus, the linker has the formula Lo

[0054] [ka]

[0055] (In the formula, R 5 represents an optionally present second spacer, preferably an optionally substituted second aliphatic spacer, more preferably C1-C6 alkylene, most preferably ethylene) The compound may include a moiety having a structure according to

[0056] The cleavable linker section may comprise a self-immolative moiety, which can release an unfunctionalized payload after activation by a cascade of reactions (see, e.g., RV Gonzaga et al., Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences 109 (2020) 3262-3281). Examples of suitable self-immolative moieties include those in which p-aminobenzyl carbamate is coupled to either valine-citrulline (Val-Cit-PAB) or β-glucuronide, and those based on Grob cleavage (see, e.g., Ferhati et al., Org. Lett. 2021, 23, 21, 8580-8584).

[0057] The linker can be a dimeric linker linking the scaffold to one payload (i.e., r=1 and s=0 in Formula (IV)). In other embodiments, the linker is multimeric, meaning that it links the scaffold to a payload and at least one additional payload and / or scaffold (i.e., r≧1 and s+r≧2 in Formula (IV)). Thus, in certain embodiments, the linker links one or more additional scaffolds and / or at least two combinations of a radioisotope, a fluorescent dye, and a drug to the scaffold. Generally, if the linker links more than five entities, the compound is too large and renal excretion is adversely hindered. Thus, the linker typically links the scaffold to a payload and up to three additional payloads and / or scaffolds (i.e., s+r=1, 2, 3, or 4 in Formula (IV), while r≧1).

[0058] Depending on the payload, an appropriate linker can be selected. For example, when two payloads or one payload and one additional scaffold, one of which has a free carboxylic acid and the other has a free amine, are linked, the linker can be based on glutamic acid. Similarly, when two payloads, each having a free carboxylic acid, are linked, the linker can be based on or include lysine or its analog. Thus, certain embodiments can be, for example, a compound represented by formula (V):

[0059] [ka]

[0060] (wherein p is 1 to 6, preferably 3; Q 1' and Q 1'' each independently comprises a payload such as a radioisotope, a fluorescent dye, and / or a drug) It is a compound having the structure

[0061] In embodiments where a linker connects the scaffold to one additional scaffold, the linker may be represented by formula (Lp) to (Lv):

[0062] [ka]

[0063] and 1 The compound and the linker are the multimer moieties represented by formulas (Lp) to (Lv) and (Z) and Q 1 It can be understood that the scaffold (Z) may contain additional atoms and / or linking sections between X and R. Scaffold (Z) is structurally a scaffold as described hereinabove. Scaffolds are preferably structurally identical, but may also contain additional atoms and / or linking sections between X and R. 1 ~R4 The two may differ in this respect.

[0064] Diagnostic and Therapeutic Agents The present invention is not particularly limited to specific payloads, diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Advantageously, the present invention allows a wide variety of payloads to be used in combination with the scaffold without compromising the FAP affinity and / or tumor uptake of the compound. It can be understood that appropriate payloads and agents can be selected based on the desired use, such as diagnosis and treatment.

[0065] Known payloads for previously developed FAP targeting agents, for example those disclosed in WO2019 / 154859 and WO2021 / 160825, are also suitable for use with the present invention.

[0066] Chelating Agents and Radioisotopes In certain embodiments, the payload comprises a radioisotope complexed with a chelator. The radioisotope can be any suitable radioisotope. See, for example, Tornesello et al., Molecules 2017, 22(8), 1282, US2021 / 0402016A1, WO2021 / 005125A1, and Price and Orvig, Chem. Soc. Rev., 2014, 43, 260-290 and references cited therein. The radioisotope can be an α- or β-particle emitter, an Auger emitter, a positron emitter, and / or a γ-emitter. Alpha particle emitters and β-particle emitters, e.g., 90 Y, 212 Pb, 177 Lu, 188 Re, 186 Re, 67 Cu, 64 Cu, 195m Pt, 212 Bi, 213 Bi, 211 At, 225 Ac, 131 I, etc. can be used in therapy. Suitable gamma emitters, e.g. 99m Tc, 67 Ga, 111In, etc. can be used for SPECT imaging, while positron emitters, e.g. 68 Ga, 64 Cu, 18 F and the like are useful for PET imaging. Therefore, the radioisotope M of the present invention is preferably 18 F, 123 I, 124 I, 125 I, 131 I, 76 Br, 77 Br, 212 Pb, 203 Pb, 64 Cu, 67 Cu, 212 Bi, 68 Ga, 213 Bi, 225 Ac, 243 Am, 211 At, 217 At, 154 Dy, 148 Gd, 146 Sm, 147 Sm, 149 Tb, 152 Tb, 155 Tb, 161 Tb, 165 Er, 72 As, 77 As, 47 Sc, 188 Re, 186 Re, 105 Rh, 109 Pd, 199 Au, 175 Yb, 142 Pr, 114m In, 94m Tc, 99m Tc, 227 Th, 229 Th, 59 Fe, 60 Cu, 61 Cu, 62 Cu, 67 Ga, 44 Sc, 89 Zr, 90 Nb, 86 Y, 90 Y, 111 In, 177 Lu, 117mSn, 153 Gd, 153 Sm, and 166 From the group consisting of Ho, preferably 18 F, 64 Cu, 67 Ga, 68 Ga, 90 Y, 111 In, 177 Lu, 212 Pb and 225 From the group consisting of Ac, most preferably 18 F, 68 Ga, 111 In, 225 Ac and 177 Lu.

[0067] Various chelating agents are known in the art to bind radioisotopes. The chelating agents of the present invention are pharmaceutically acceptable chelating agents. Because not all chelating agents are equally suitable for all radioisotopes, the chelating agent is typically selected based on the radioisotope desired for diagnosis or treatment.

[0172] Biodistribution studies in animal models Six-week-old male Balb / c nu / nu specific and opportunistic pathogen-free (SOPF) mice were housed in individually ventilated cages with four mice per cage. Upon arrival, mice were allowed to acclimate for one week with free access to food and water. U-87 or HT-1080.hFAP cells (1 × 10) were implanted into the right shoulder of the mice. 6 Xenografts were grown subcutaneously to reach an appropriate size at the start of the study. All animal experiments were approved by the Animal Welfare Committee of Erasmus MC and performed in accordance with institutional guidelines (license number: AVD101002017867).

[0173] Biodistribution studies were performed to determine tumor and organ uptake of radiolabeled eFAP compounds. Animals (n = 4 per time point and per compound) were intravenously injected with an average of 100 kBq / 0.5 nmol at t = 0. At three selected time points (1, 4, and 24 h) post-injection, blood was collected by cardiac puncture under isoflurane / O2 anesthesia, and the mice were then sacrificed. Tumors and organs of interest (prostate, pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, liver, stomach, small intestine, cecum, colon, adrenal glands, kidneys, lungs, heart, salivary glands, muscle, bone, and brain) were excised, washed in PBS, and blotted dry. Blood, tumors, and relevant organs were weighed and measured in a gamma counter. Calibration curves using indium-111 and lutetium-177 were established to determine the total injected radioactivity per animal. The percentage of injected dose per gram (%ID / g) was determined for each tissue sample and corrected for both the injected volume and the %ID present at the injection site (tail).
