Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 383,005, filed November 9, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION This application discloses compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and combinations thereof, and methods of their use as protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors. [Background technology]

[0003] Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is an innovative approach in immunotherapy that targets immune evasion mechanisms to improve clinical responses in cancer patients. For example, checkpoint inhibitor antibodies targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), and their ligands (e.g., programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1)) have been used in the treatment of multiple cancer types, significantly improving treatment and survival outcomes for patients with these malignancies.

[0004] However, the majority of patients undergoing ICB develop a treatment-refractory state or ultimately acquire resistance. In particular, alterations or defects in the interferon-γ (IFNγ) signaling pathway represent an important mechanism for clinical ICB resistance (Zaretsky, N. Engl. J. Med. 375, 819-829). IFNγ is a T cell-derived cytokine that directly restricts tumor growth by signaling through the Janus kinase / signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK / STAT) pathway. Furthermore, IFNγ indirectly restricts tumor growth by promoting the upregulation of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I), thereby presenting antigen (Ag) to T cells. In vivo CRISPR screening using a syngeneic mouse model revealed improvements in the IFNγ pathway in anti-PD-1–resistant tumors. These studies have confirmed that the aforementioned members of the IFNγ pathway (JAK1 / 2 and STAT1) and interferon-γ receptors (IFNGR1 / IFNGR2) are effective in resistance, in addition to newly identified negative regulators (e.g., PTPN2 and apelin receptor (APLNR)), and these represent new therapeutic targets (Charles Sinclair et al. Emerg Top Life Sci. (2021) 5 (5): 675-680).

[0005] Data compiled from an in vivo genetic screen using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to identify genes that cause resistance to checkpoint inhibitors confirmed that deletion of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPN2) gene in tumor cells enhances the efficacy of immunotherapy. The PTPN2 gene encodes a protein tyrosine phosphatase that regulates various intracellular processes. Loss of PTPN2 in tumor cells enhances IFNγ signaling and antigen presentation to T cells, leading to proliferation arrest in response to cytokines. These data suggest that therapeutic inhibition of PTPN2 may enhance the efficacy of immunotherapies that trigger IFNγ responses (Manguso, Robert T et al. Nature vol. 547, 7664 (2017): 413-418).

[0006] Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2), also known as T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP), is a cellular member of the class 1 subfamily of phosphotyrosine-specific phosphatases that mediates multiple cellular regulatory processes by removing phosphate groups from tyrosine substrates. PTPN2 is ubiquitously expressed, but is most highly expressed in hematopoietic and placental cells (Mosinger, B. Jr. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (1992) 89:499-503). In humans, PTPN2 expression is posttranscriptionally regulated by the existence of two splice variants: a 45-kDa form containing a nuclear localization signal C-terminally upstream of the splice site, and a 48-kDa canonical form containing an ER retention motif C-terminally (Tillmann U. et al., Mol Cell Biol (1994) 14:3030-3040). The 45 kDa isoform can spontaneously translocate to the cytoplasm under certain cellular stress conditions. Both isoforms share an N-terminal phosphotyrosine phosphatase catalytic domain, and PTPN2 is a key negative regulator of the JAK-STAT pathway, directly controlling signal transduction through cytokine receptors. The PTPN2 catalytic domain shares 74% sequence identity with PTPN1 (also known as PTP1B) and has a similar enzymatic rate (Romsicki Y. et al., Arch Biochem Biophys (2003) 414:40-50).

[0007] Furthermore, T cell protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (PTPN2) has been identified as an important negative regulator of T cell receptor (TCR) signaling, with a clear association between PTPN2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and autoimmune diseases (Wiede F et al., J Clin Invest. (2011);121(12):4758-4774). PTPN2 dephosphorylates and inactivates Src family kinases, regulating T cell responses. Deficiency of PTPN2 leads to TCR-dependent CD8 +PTPN2 has been shown to lower the in vivo threshold for T cell proliferation. Consistent with these findings, T cell-specific PTPN2-deficient mice have been shown to develop a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune diseases are associated with increased serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines and antinuclear antibodies, T cell infiltration into extralymphoid tissues, and liver disease. Furthermore, these data indicate that PTPN2 is a critical negative regulator of TCR signaling that sets the threshold for TCR-triggered naive T cell responses to prevent autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

[0008] In addition to PTPN2, encoding the T cell PTP (TCPTP), as a susceptibility locus for autoimmune diseases, SNPs in PTPN2 have been linked to the development of type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn's disease. Furthermore, the PTPN2 variant rs1893217(C), associated with type 1 diabetes, is also associated with decreased PTPN2 expression in T cells (Florian Wiede J Clin Invest. 2011;121(12):4758-4774).

[0009] These findings suggest that PTPN2 inhibition is a promising therapeutic strategy to enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment regimens with ICB resistance. Summary of the Invention
