Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to compounds capable of inhibiting one or more kinases, more particularly LRRK2, which have application in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. [Background technology]

[0002] background A variety of medical conditions that affect millions of people are caused or aggravated by the unregulated activity of protein kinase.For example, abnormality in kinase activity is related to autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease, bone disease, metabolic disease, neurological disease and neurodegenerative disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, allergy, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, skin disorder, eye disease, infectious disease and hormone-related disease.However, for many of these disorders, there is no effective inhibitor or activator for the specific kinase that causes the disorder or its symptoms.Therefore, patients continue to suffer from many disorders because there is no suitable drug for these conditions. Parkinson's disease affects approximately 1-2% of the population over the age of 60 (Lees AJ, Hardy J, Revesz T. Parkinson's disease. Lancet. 2009;373(9680):2055-66. hereafter referred to as Lees 2009). It is a progressively disabling and ultimately fatal disease characterized by motor symptoms of tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability, and non-motor features including agnosia, depression, constipation, pain, olfactory deficits, and sleep disturbances (Macleod AD, Taylor KS, Counsell CE. Mortality in Parkinson's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Mov Disord. 2014;29(13):1615-22.) (Lees 2009; Chaudhuri KR, Healy DG, Schapira AH; National Institute for Clinical Excellence. Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease: diagnosis and management. Lancet Neurol. 2006;5(3):235-45.) Hallmark neuropathological signs of Parkinson's disease include loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, decreased dopamine neurotransmission, and the presence of Lewy body inclusions in neuronal cells (Lees 2009).

[0033] Detailed Description LRRK2 gene and Parkinson's disease: Although the majority of Parkinson's disease cases are of unknown cause (termed sporadic or idiopathic), approximately 5-10% are due to genetic mutations. Mutations in the LRRK2 gene are the most common cause of both autosomal dominant and sporadic Parkinson's disease (Singleton AB, Farrer MJ, Bonifati V. The genetics of Parkinson's disease: progress and therapeutic implications. Mov Disord. 2013;28(1):14-23.), accounting for approximately 5-13% of familial and 1-5% of sporadic Parkinson's cases (Kumari U, Tan EK. LRRK2 in Parkinson's disease: genetic and clinical studies from patients. FEBS J. 2009;276(22):6455-63.). On an individual basis, the clinical manifestations of LRRK2 Parkinson's disease are considered indistinguishable from those of idiopathic Parkinson's disease in terms of signs, symptoms, and response to levodopa, although some data suggest that patients with LRRK2 Parkinson's disease may have fewer non-motor symptoms and a somewhat slower rate of progression than patients with sporadic Parkinson's disease (Kestenbaum M, Alcalay RN. Clinical features of LRRK2 carriers with Parkinson's disease. Adv Neurobiol., 2017, 14, 31-48; Hernandez D, Paisan Ruiz C, Crawley A, Malkani R, Werner J, Gwinn-Hardy K, et al. The dardarin G 2019 S mutation is a common cause of Parkinson's disease but not other neurodegenerative diseases. Neurosci Lett., 2005, 389(3), 137-139).Neuropathological findings in LRRK2 Parkinson's disease patients typically include α-synuclein-containing Lewy bodies within degenerating neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, but may also include tau pathology (neurofibrillary tangles) or nigral neuron loss in the absence of detectable neuronal inclusions (Loeffler DA, Aasly JO, LeWitt PA, Coffey MP. What have we learned from cerebrospinal fluid studies about biomarkers for detecting LRRK2 Parkinson's disease patients and healthy subjects with Parkinson's-associated LRRK2 mutations? J Parkinsons Dis. 2019;9(3):467-88.).

[0034] The LRRK2 gene encodes a 286-kDa multidomain peptide whose functions include neurite outgrowth, cytoskeletal maintenance, vesicle trafficking, regulation of autophagy, and immune function (Cookson MR. LRRK2 pathways leading to neurodegeneration. Curr Neurol Neurosci Rep. 2015;15(7):42.; Wallings R, Manzoni C, Bandopadhyay R. Cellular processes associated with LRRK2 function and dysfunction. FEBS J. 2015;282(15):2806-26.). Over 100 LRRK2 gene variants have been described, but the significance of most is unknown. Mutations in the LRRK2 kinase, Ras complex protein (ROC), and Ras C-terminal (COR) domains, including the G2019S, G2385R, A419V, R1441C / G / H, and R1628P LRRK2 mutations, are associated with increased risk of Parkinson's disease (Shu L, Zhang Y, Sun Q, Pan H, Tang B. A comprehensive analysis of population differences in LRRK2 variant distribution in Parkinson's disease. Front Aging Neurosci., 2019, 11, 13.).G2019S is the most common Parkinson's disease-associated mutation (found in 4% of familial and 1% of idiopathic Parkinson's disease cases worldwide), with the highest frequencies found in North African Arabs (36% hereditary, 39% sporadic) and Ashkenazi Jews (28% hereditary, 10% sporadic) (Healy DG, Falchi M, O'Sullivan SS, Bonifati V, Durr A, Bressman S, et al; International LRRK2 Consortium. Phenotype, genotype, and worldwide genetic penetrance of LRRK2-associated Parkinson's disease: a case-control study. Lancet Neurol., 2008, 7(7), 583-590).

[0035] Extensive independent studies have demonstrated that Parkinson's disease-associated mutations in LRRK2 confer a toxic gain of function in its kinase activity (West AB. Achieving neuroprotection with LRRK2 kinase inhibitors in Parkinson's disease. Exp Neurol. 2017;298(Pt B):236-45. West 2017), leading to increased LRRK2 autophosphorylation (Sheng Z, Zhang S, Bustos D, Kleinheinz T, Le Pichon CE, Dominguez SL, et al. Ser1292 autophosphorylation is an indicator of LRRK2 kinase activity and contributes to the cellular effects of PD mutations. Sci Transl Med. 2012;4(164):164ra161.) and phosphorylation of downstream substrates such as Ras-family Rab GTPases (Steger M, Tonelli F, Ito G, Davies P, Trost M, Vetter M, et al. Phosphoproteomics reveals that Parkinson's disease kinase LRRK2 regulates a subset of Rab GTPases. Elife. 2016;5:e12813. Furthermore, pathways downstream of overactive LRRK2 mutants are associated with a host of pathological pathways that have been shown to lead to neurodegeneration, including autophagy, mitochondrial function, protein clearance, and neuritogenesis. Taken together, these findings suggest that LRRK2 inhibitors may be useful for treating LRRK2-associated Parkinson's disease. chemistry definition

[0084] In another embodiment, the compounds of the present invention are particularly advantageous because they are useful for treating disorders related to the central nervous system (CNS). A common problem in treating disorders related to the CNS is that therapeutic agents treating the CNS cannot cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB limits the transport of drugs from the blood to the brain. This barrier consists of a continuous layer of unique endothelial cells joined by tight junctions. Advantageously, in some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention cross the blood-brain barrier, as evidenced by the data disclosed in Table 2. Because the compounds of the present invention can cross the BBB, these compounds are particularly effective in treating disorders related to the CNS, including Alzheimer's disease. Pharmaceutical Composition

[0085] The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more of the compounds described above, or pharmaceutically acceptable esters, prodrugs, hydrates, solvates or salts of such compounds, optionally in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.The present invention further provides such compounds for the preparation of medicaments for treating one or more of the diseases specified herein.

[0086] Pharmaceutical compositions may contain one or more therapeutically effective amounts of the compounds of the present invention.The therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to the present invention means the amount of compound that is effective for preventing disease, alleviating or alleviating its symptoms, or prolonging the life of the subject being treated.Determining a therapeutically effective amount is within the skill of the art.

[0087] The therapeutically effective amount or dosage of the compounds according to the invention can vary within wide limits and can be determined by methods known in the art. Such dosage can be adjusted to the individual requirements in each particular case, including the specific compound administered, the route of administration, the condition being treated, and the patient being treated.

[0088] The compositions of the present invention may include a vehicle for delivery of one or more compounds of the present invention. For example, the compositions may contain particles such as nanoparticles, microparticles, liposomes, micelles, and viral particles.

[0089] Examples of pharmacologically acceptable salts of sufficiently basic compounds of the present invention include salts of physiologically acceptable inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid, or salts of organic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, and salicylic acid. Furthermore, sufficiently acidic compounds of the present invention can form alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts, such as sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, or magnesium salts; ammonium salts; or organic base salts, such as methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, choline hydroxide, meglumine, piperidine, morpholine, tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, lysine, or arginine salts, all of which are further examples of salts of the present invention. The compounds of the present invention may be solvated, particularly hydrated. Hydration / wetting may occur during the process of producing a compound of the present invention that does not initially contain water, or as a result of its hygroscopic nature. The solvates and / or hydrates may, for example, exist in solid or liquid form.

[0090] It should be recognized that certain compounds of the present invention may have tautomeric forms (only one of which may be specifically specified or illustrated in the following description), different geometric isomers (usually designated as cis / trans isomers or, more commonly, as (E) and (Z) isomers), or different optical isomers (usually designated in the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog or R / S system) as a result of one or more chiral carbon atoms. All of these tautomeric forms, geometric or optical isomers (as well as racemates and diastereomers) and polymorphs are included in the present invention. Because the compounds of the present invention may contain asymmetric C atoms, they may exist as achiral compounds, mixtures of diastereomers, mixtures of enantiomers, or optically pure compounds. The present invention includes both all pure enantiomers and all pure diastereomers, as well as mixtures thereof in any ratio.

[0091] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, one or more hydrogen atoms of the compounds of the present invention may be replaced by deuterium. Deuterium modification improves the metabolic properties of drugs with little or no change in their inherent pharmacology. Deuterium substitution at specific molecular positions improves metabolic stability, reduces the formation of toxic metabolites, and / or increases the formation of desired active metabolites. Therefore, the present invention also encompasses partially and fully deuterated compounds of the present invention. The term hydrogen also encompasses deuterium.

[0092] The therapeutic use of the compounds according to the invention, their pharmacologically acceptable salts, solvates and hydrates, respectively, as well as formulations and pharmaceutical compositions also fall within the scope of the present invention. Pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention may comprise at least one compound of the present invention as an active ingredient, and, if necessary, carrier materials and / or adjuvants.

[0093] The present invention also relates to prodrugs composed of a compound of the present invention and at least one pharmacologically acceptable protecting group, which is cleaved under physiological conditions to yield a prodrug, such as an alkoxy, arylalkyloxy, acyl, acyloxymethyl group (e.g., pivaloyloxymethyl), a 2-alkyl, 2-aryl, or 2-arylalkyloxycarbonyl-2-alkylideneethyl group, or an acyloxy group, as defined herein, such as ethoxy, benzyloxy, acetyl, or acetyloxy, or, in the case of a compound of the present invention possessing a hydroxy group (-OH), a sulfate, phosphate (-OPO or -OCHOPO) or an ester of an amino acid, among others. For example, the composition may contain a prodrug of a hydroxy group of a compound of the present invention.

[0094] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable ester" particularly refers to esters that undergo hydrolysis in vivo, including those that are easily decomposed in the human body, leaving behind the parent compound or its salt.Suitable ester groups include, for example, those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable aliphatic carboxylic acids, particularly alkanoic acid, alkenoic acid, cycloalkanoic acid and alkanedioic acid, where the alkyl or alkenyl moiety advantageously has 6 or less carbon atoms.Specific examples of esters include, but are not limited to, formate, acetate, propionate, butyrate, acrylate and ethylsuccinate.

[0095] The present invention also relates to prodrugs, biohydrolyzable esters, biohydrolyzable amides, polymorphs, tautomers, stereoisomers, metabolites, N-oxides, biohydrolyzable carbamates, biohydrolyzable ethers, physiologically functional group derivatives, atropisomers or in vivo hydrolyzable precursors, diastereomers or mixtures of diastereomers, chemically protected forms, affinity reagents, complexes, chelates and stereoisomers of the compounds of the present invention.

[0096] As mentioned above, therapeutically useful agents containing the compounds of the present invention, their solvates, salts or formulations are also included within the scope of the present invention. Generally, the compounds of the present invention are administered by using accepted modes known in the art, either alone or in combination with any other therapeutic agent.

[0097] For oral administration, such therapeutically useful agents may be administered by one of the following routes: orally, for example, as tablets, dragees, coated tablets, pills, semisolids, soft or hard capsules, e.g., soft and hard gelatin capsules, aqueous or oily solutions, emulsions, suspensions or syrups; parenterally, including intravenous, intramuscular and subcutaneous injection, for example, as injectable solutions or suspensions; rectally as a suppository; by inhalation or insufflation, for example, as a powder formulation, as microcrystals or as a spray (e.g., liquid aerosol); transdermally, for example, by a transdermal delivery system (TDS), such as a plaster containing the active ingredient, or intranasally. For the preparation of such tablets, pills, semisolids, coated tablets, dragees, and hard, e.g., gelatin capsules, the therapeutically useful product may be mixed with pharmaceutically inert inorganic or organic excipients such as lactose, sucrose, glucose, gelatin, malt, silica gel, starch or its derivatives, talc, stearic acid or its salts, dried skim milk powder, etc. For the preparation of soft capsules, excipients such as vegetable oils, petroleum, animal oils, or synthetic oils, waxes, fats, and polyols may be used. For the preparation of liquid solutions, emulsions, suspensions, or syrups, excipients such as water, alcohol, aqueous saline, aqueous dextrose, polyols, glycerin, lipids, phospholipids, cyclodextrins, vegetable oils, petroleum, animal oils, or synthetic oils may be used. In particular, lipids such as phospholipids (e.g., of natural origin and / or with a particle size between 300 and 350 nm) in phosphate-buffered saline (pH = 7-8, e.g., 7.4) are useful. For suppositories, excipients such as vegetable oils, petroleum, animal oils, or synthetic oils, waxes, fats, and polyols may be used. For aerosol formulations, compressed gases suitable for this purpose, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, may be used. Pharmaceutically useful agents may also contain additives for preservation and stabilization, such as UV stabilizers, emulsifiers, sweeteners, flavoring agents, salts for changing osmotic pressure, buffers, coating additives, and antioxidants.

[0098] Generally, for oral or parenteral administration to an adult human weighing approximately 80 kg, a daily dosage of about 10 mg to about 10,000 mg or about 20 mg to about 1,000 mg should be appropriate, although the upper limit may be exceeded if indicated. The daily dosage may be administered as a single dose or in divided doses, or, for parenteral administration, may be given as continuous infusion or subcutaneous injection.

[0120] The brain is protected from potentially toxic substances by the presence of two barrier systems: the blood-brain barrier (BBB) ​​and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB). The BBB restricts drug transport from the blood to the brain. This barrier consists of a continuous layer of unique endothelial cells joined by tight junctions. Brain capillaries, which constitute more than 95% of the total surface area of ​​the BBB, are the primary route for entry of most solutes and drugs into the central nervous system. Therefore, the BBB is a major obstacle to the treatment of CNS diseases, as many drugs cannot reach this organ at therapeutic concentrations. The BBB is considered the primary route for the uptake of serum ligands because its surface area is approximately 5,000 times greater than that of the BCSFB. The brain endothelium, which constitutes the BBB, is a major obstacle to the use of potential drugs for many CNS disorders. The compounds of the present invention are particularly advantageous because they are useful for the treatment of disorders related to the central nervous system (CNS) by crossing the BBB. The compounds of the present invention cross the BBB, thus making them effective in treating disorders related to the CNS, including Alzheimer's disease.
