Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to therapeutically active compounds useful for inhibiting transcription-promoting domains (TEADs), and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds. These compounds are useful in the treatment of diseases or disorders associated with increased TEAD activity or expression, such as various cancers and chronic pain. [Background technology]
[0002] TEAD domain transcription factors (TEAD1-4) are a family of DNA-binding transcription factors that regulate the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, cell fate, cell differentiation, organ abnormal growth, and organ regeneration. YAP and TAZ are coactivators of TEAD transcription that can travel back and forth between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Alterations in actin dynamics and the Hippo signaling pathway promote phosphorylation, cytoplasmic retention, and proteasomal degradation of YAP and TAZ, resulting in decreased nuclear levels of YAP and TAZ and reduced TEAD transcriptional activity.
[0003] The evolutionarily conserved Hippo signaling pathway consists of large tumor suppressor 1 / 2 (LATS1 / 2), serine / threonine kinase, Sterile20-like kinase 1 / 2 (MST1 / 2), and the adapter proteins Salvador homolog 1 (SAV1) and MOB kinase activator 1A / B (MOB1A / B). The tumor suppressor neurofibromin 2 (NF2) (also known as merlin) is involved upstream of these kinases and inhibits YAP and TAZ activity by promoting the activation of the pathway. The Hippo pathway is associated with many aspects of tumorigenesis, including cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cancer metastasis, and cancer treatment resistance. Therefore, dysregulation of Hippo pathway signaling has been shown to lead to carcinogenesis across various cancer types. Furthermore, YAP and TAZ have been reported to be core mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of chronic pain, such as chronic neuropathic pain and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
[0004] Compounds having TEAD inhibitory activity are disclosed, for example, in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3. The antitumor effect of the TEAD inhibitor K-975 on malignant pleural mesothelioma in vivo is reported in Non-Patent Document 1.
[0005] Compounds targeting diseases associated with dysregulation of Hippo pathway components, such as those targeting the YAP-TEAD interaction, are needed. Such compounds would be useful in treating diseases or conditions where TEAD inhibition is desired, including chronic pain such as neuropathic pain, and various cancers, including cancers that are resistant to other treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.

[0008] It has been found that the compound of formula (I) is a potent inhibitor of the YAP-TEAD interaction.

Such conditions or diseases include, but are not particularly limited to, chronic pain, particularly chronic neuropathic pain and chronic musculoskeletal pain, and cancer, particularly cancers associated with deregulation in components of the Hippo pathway including YAP-TEAD. Specific cancers include, but are not particularly limited to, mesothelioma, squamous cell carcinoma, gynecological cancer, bladder cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer and colon cancer.

[0337] experiment Experiment 1. TEAD Inhibition TEAD inhibition was analyzed using the MCF-7 cell line (BPS Bioscience, catalog number: 60618), which contains the firefly luciferase gene under the control of the Hippo pathway TEAD reporter-TEAD response element. In this cell line, YAP1 remains in the nucleus and induces constitutive expression of the luciferase reporter. The amount of expressed luciferase was detected by measuring a plate equipped with an Enspire Multimode Plate Reader (PerkinElmer) using the ONE-Glo luciferase assay system (Promega).
[0338] Hippo pathway TEAD reporter-MCF-7 cells were seeded at a density of 8500 cells / well in 384 plates (Corning, No. 356660) coated with white / clear poly-D-lysine. The following day, the test compound (11 concentrations of 4 reproductions) and DMSO control (0.1%) were added to the plates. After 24 hours, the cells were lysed and luciferase activity was measured. The maximum half-inhibitory inhibitory concentration (IC) of the test compound against YAP-TEAD inhibition was measured. 50 ) was decided.
