Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure is in the field of medicine, and specifically relates to STING agonist compounds and uses thereof. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a national stage application of International Application No. PCT / CN2024 / 078291 filed on February 23, 2024, and is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202310196685.0 filed on February 24, 2023, Chinese Patent Application No. 202311536799.1 filed on November 17, 2023, Chinese Patent Application No. 202311016692.4 filed on August 11, 2023, and Chinese Patent Application No. 202410178185.9 filed on February 8, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is the latest and most exciting immunotherapy target in drug development in the field of tumor immunotherapy. STING is a transmembrane protein that typically forms a dimer via binding at positions 152–173, maintaining an autoinhibitory state. Upon stimulation by specific ligands, it undergoes a molecular reconfiguration and becomes activated, recruiting TANK-binding kinase 1 in the cytoplasm and mediating the phosphorylation of IRF3 by TBK1, resulting in the production of interferon-β and various other cytokines. IFN-β production is a sign of STING activation. Innate immune signaling in the tumor microenvironment is a key step in the activation of tumor-specific T cells and the infiltration of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Type I IFN plays a key role in the activation of tumor-activated T cells. STING induces the expression of type I interferon genes, playing a key role in the innate immune signaling pathway. STING agonists can activate immune stimulatory cells, including dendritic cells, to alter the tumor microenvironment and induce the generation of tumor-specific T cells. In murine experiments, the flavonoid vascular-disrupting agent DMXAA activated the mouse STING protein, inducing the production of IFN-β and other natural cytokines and effectively suppressing the growth of various solid tumors. However, when this drug was combined with standard chemotherapy in human non-small cell lung cancer clinical trials, no clear efficacy was observed. Although the human and mouse STING proteins share 81% similarity, the former gene encodes 379 amino acids, while the latter gene encodes 378 amino acids. Experiments subsequently demonstrated that DMXAA was unable to activate human STING. Other than cyclic dinucleotides, no other STING agonists have been discovered to directly activate mouse STING and human STING. Direct injection of CDN into B16 melanoma, CT26 rectal carcinoma, and 4T1 breast cancer tumors not only resulted in significant tumor suppression or tumor elimination, but also induced systemic, sustained antigen-specific T cell immunity and suppressed tumor growth at other sites in the animals without drug injection.ML RR-S2 CDA induces changes in the microenvironment of various solid tumors, effectively activating tumor-induced CD8+ T cells and resulting in sustained efficacy. In recent years, numerous studies and reports have demonstrated that the STING pathway is one of the leading signaling pathways that has been validated by numerous researchers for its ability to effectively initiate the body's innate immune system and induce the production of cytokines called interferons, making it crucial for innate immunity. The effective infiltration of lymphocytes into tumor tissue determines the success of immunotherapy. Because activation of this target pathway also promotes the infiltration and response of effector T cells in the tumor microenvironment, this target is becoming an important target in antitumor therapy, particularly in immunotherapy research. In multiple mouse inoculation models, it has been effective against a variety of intractable and metastatic solid tumors, not only eliminating directly injected tumors but also significantly suppressing tumor growth in other sites and preventing tumor development. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Compounds that bind to and act as agonists of STING have been shown to induce type 1 interferon and other cytokines when incubated with human PBMCs. Compounds that induce human interferon can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including allergic diseases and other inflammatory diseases, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma, infectious diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, precancerous syndromes, and cancer, and can also be used as immunological compositions or vaccine adjuvants. Activating STING may be a potential method for treating diseases associated with the type 1 IFN pathway, including inflammatory, allergic, and autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, cancer, and precancerous syndromes, or used as immunological compositions or vaccine adjuvants.

[0044] (Definition of terms) It should be particularly noted that when a "compound" having a specific structural formula is mentioned herein, it generally includes its stereoisomers, diastereomers, enantiomers, racemic mixtures, isotopic derivatives, and its alternative forms such as pharmaceutical salts, solvates, hydrates, etc. As is well known to those skilled in the art, salts, solvates, and hydrates of a compound are alternative forms of a compound, which can be converted into the compound under certain conditions. Therefore, it should be particularly noted that when a compound is mentioned herein, it generally includes its pharmaceutical salts, and further includes its solvates and hydrates.

[0045] Similarly, when a compound is referred to herein, its prodrugs, metabolites, and nitroxides are generally also included.

[0046] The medicinal salts or pharmaceutically acceptable salts described in the present disclosure can be prepared using inorganic or organic acids, and the term "medicinal salts" or "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts that, within the scope of reasonable medical judgment, are suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals, are free of undue toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, etc., and have a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. The salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of the present disclosure, or can be prepared by reacting the free base or free acid with a suitable reagent, as described below. For example, a free base can be reacted with a suitable acid. Furthermore, when the compounds of the present disclosure contain an acidic moiety, suitable medicinal salts include metal salts, such as alkali metal salts (e.g., sodium salts or potassium salts) and alkaline earth metal salts (e.g., calcium salts or magnesium salts). Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acid addition salts include salts formed by amino groups with inorganic acids (e.g., hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, sulfuric, and perchloric acids) or organic acids (e.g., acetic, oxalic, maleic, tartaric, citric, succinic, or malonic acids), or salts formed by other methods known in the art, e.g., by ion exchange.

[0047] The pharmaceutical salts of the present disclosure can be prepared by conventional methods, for example, by dissolving the compound of the present disclosure in a water-miscible organic solvent (e.g., acetone, methanol, ethanol, and acetonitrile) and adding an excess amount of an aqueous solution of an organic or inorganic acid to precipitate the salt from the mixture, removing the solvent and any remaining free acid therefrom, and then separating the precipitated salt.

[0048] The precursors or metabolites referred to in the present disclosure may be precursors or metabolites known in the art, as long as they are converted into compounds by metabolism in the body. For example, a "prodrug" refers to a prodrug of a compound of the present disclosure that, within the scope of reasonable medical judgment, is suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals, does not produce undue toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, etc., has a reasonable benefit / risk ratio, and is effective for the desired use. The term "prodrug" refers to a compound that is rapidly converted in the body to produce the parent compound of the above formula, for example, by metabolism in the body or N-demethylation of a compound of the present disclosure.

[0049] As used herein, the term "solvate" refers to a compound of the present disclosure physically associated with one or more solvent molecules (which may be organic or inorganic). Such physical associations include hydrogen bonding. In some cases, a solvate may be isolated, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. The solvent molecules in a solvate may be present in an ordered and / or disordered arrangement. A solvate may contain stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent molecules. The term "solvate" covers solution-phase and isolable solvates. Exemplary solvates include, but are not limited to, hydrates, ethanolates, methanolates, and isopropanolates. Methods of solvation are well known in the art.

[0050] In this disclosure, "stereoisomerism" is divided into conformational isomerism and configurational isomerism, and configurational isomerism is further divided into cis-trans isomerism and optical isomerism. Conformational isomerism refers to the phenomenon of stereoisomerism in which the spatial arrangement of each atom or group of atoms in an organic molecule with a specific configuration differs due to rotation or twisting of a carbon-carbon single bond. This is commonly seen in the structures of alkane and cycloalkane compounds, and examples of this include the chair and boat conformations in the cyclohexane structure. "Stereoisomer" refers to compounds of the present disclosure that contain one or more asymmetric centers and therefore may be racemates and racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomeric mixtures, and single diastereomers. Compounds of the present disclosure may also contain asymmetric centers, resulting in two optical isomers for each asymmetric center. All possible optical isomers, diastereomeric mixtures, and pure or partially pure compounds are within the scope of this disclosure. Compounds described in this disclosure may exist as tautomers with different hydrogen connection sites due to displacement of one or more double bonds. For example, a ketone and its enol form are ketone-enol tautomers. Each tautomer and mixtures thereof are included in the compounds of the present disclosure. All enantiomers, diastereomers, racemates, mesomers, cis-trans isomers, tautomers, geometric isomers, epiisomers, and mixtures thereof of the compounds of formula (I) are included in the present disclosure.

[0051] In the present disclosure, the term "isotopic derivative" refers to a molecule of the compound of the present invention that is labeled with an isotope. Generally, the isotope used for isotopic labeling is a hydrogen isotope ( 2 H and 3 H), carbon isotopes ( 11 C. 13 C and 14 C), chlorine isotopes ( 35 Cl and 37 Cl), fluorine isotopes ( 18 F), iodine isotopes ( 123 I and 125 I), nitrogen isotopes ( 13 N and 15 N), oxygen isotopes ( 15 O. 17 O and 18 O), sulfur isotopes ( 35These isotope-labeled compounds can be used to study the distribution of drug molecules in tissues. 2 H and carbon 13 C is widely used because it is easy to label and detect. Certain heavy isotopes (e.g., deuterium ( 2 H)) improves metabolic stability and extends half-life, thereby enabling both a reduction in dosage and ensuring efficacy. Isotopically labeled compounds are generally synthesized from labeled starting materials using known synthetic techniques, similar to the synthesis of non-isotopically labeled compounds.

[0052] The compounds or pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure can be formulated in any conventional manner into dosage forms for oral or parenteral administration (including intramuscular, intravenous and subcutaneous routes, intratumoral injection), such as tablets, granules, powders, capsules, syrups, emulsions, microemulsions, solutions or suspensions.

The compounds may also exist in various geometric isomers, such as C=C double bonds, C=N double bonds, and ring systems, and all such stable isomers are included within the present disclosure. The present disclosure describes cis- and trans- (or E- and Z-) geometric isomers of the disclosed compounds, which may be isolated as mixtures of isomers or as individual isomers. The disclosed compounds may be isolated by optical activity or as racemates. Methods for preparing the disclosed compounds and intermediates thereto are all considered part of this disclosure. When enantiomeric or diastereomeric products are prepared, they can be separated by conventional methods (e.g., chromatography or fractional crystallization). Depending on the process conditions, the final products of the present disclosure may be obtained in free (neutral) form or as salts. Both these final products, in free form and as salts, are within the scope of the present disclosure. If necessary, compounds can be converted from one form to another. A free base or acid can be converted to a salt, a salt can be converted to the free compound or another salt, or a mixture of isomeric compounds of the present disclosure can be separated as a single isomer. The compounds of the present disclosure, in their free form and salts, can exist as various tautomers in which hydrogen atoms are transferred to other parts of the molecule, thereby rearranging the chemical bonds between the atoms of the molecule. It should be understood that all possible tautomeric forms are included in the present disclosure.
