Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] Compounds capable of inhibiting ERK5 are provided. Pharmaceutical compositions and their medical uses are also provided, including for use in treating or preventing conditions such as cancer. [Background technology]

[0002] The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade is a highly conserved cellular pathway that transmits signals from the cell surface to the nucleus. This pathway plays a crucial role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration, and is well known to be involved in cancer development. The proteins in this pathway include extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) proteins, among which ERK5 (expressed from the MAPK7 gene) plays a vital role in cell proliferation, as well as in epithelial development and neural differentiation (see, e.g., Nishimoto et al., EMBO Reports (2006) 7(8):782-786). ERK5 is unique among ERK proteins in that it has a transcriptional activation domain (TAD), a nuclear localization signal, and a large C-terminal domain containing two proline-rich regions (see, e.g., Guo et al., Exp Ther Med. (2020) 19:1997-2007). Autophosphorylation of TAD is required for transcriptional activation (e.g., Morimoto et al., J Biol Chem. (2007) 282(49):35449-35456).

[0003] ERK5 plays a crucial role in regulating cell proliferation and cell cycle progression, for example, through the direct or indirect phosphorylation of MEF2C, cMYC, SGK1, RSK, FOS, and FRA1 (see, e.g., Paudel et al., Int J Mol Sci. (2021) 22:7594-7614; Terasawa et al., Genes to Cells (2003) 8(3):263-273). The involvement of ERK5 in numerous biological pathways suggests that its activity is associated with many aspects of cancer progression, including tumor angiogenesis, metastasis, inflammation, persistent proliferation, and evasion of growth inhibition. Therefore, it presents an attractive target for modulating disease pathology and treatment under a wide range of conditions. Previous studies have shown that ERK5 inhibition or downregulation is necessary, in particular, to block tumorigenesis in mouse leukemia cells, reduce the proliferation of chronic myeloid leukemia cells, inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer and multiple myeloma cells, suppress colon cancer cell proliferation, and affect the proliferation or survival of renal cell carcinoma, mesothelioma, adenocarcinoma, neuroblastoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma cells (e.g., Stecca et al., Int J Mol Sci. (2019) 20:1426-1446).

[0004] Therefore, ERK5 inhibition represents a promising approach to address a wide range of cancers. Several ERK5 inhibitors have been developed, and some are currently undergoing clinical review. For example, International Publication No. 2019 / 170543 (Bayer AG and Bayer Pharma AG) discloses compounds that are said to be active as ERK5 inhibitors in the μM to nM concentration range. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] Despite recent advances in cancer treatment through the development of targeted chemotherapy and immunotherapy, it is not possible to provide an efficient treatment solution for all cancer patients. Therefore, there is a need to identify and develop new drugs. The present disclosure aims to address this need by providing novel compounds for use as ERK5 inhibitors and novel compounds for the treatment of ERK5-related diseases and conditions.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0020] Herein, specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the description and examples, but it should be understood that such embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are merely a few examples of many possible specific embodiments that can represent the application of the principles of the present disclosure. Various changes and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art in consideration of the interests of the present disclosure and will be deemed to be within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as further defined in the appended claims.

[0021] definition Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Any methods and materials similar to or equivalent to those described herein may be used in the practice or testing of this disclosure, but exemplary methods, apparatus and materials are described herein. All technical and patent publications referenced herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0022] The implementation of this disclosure will utilize conventional techniques, such as chemical synthesis, tissue culture, immunology, molecular biology, microbiology, cell biology, and recombinant DNA, which are within the scope of the art of those skilled in the art, unless otherwise specified.

[0023] All numerical specifications (e.g., pH, temperature, time, concentration, molecular weight, including ranges) are approximations that, where appropriate, vary by (+) or (-) in increments of, for example, 0.1 or 1.0. It should be understood that, although not necessarily explicitly stated, the term “approximately” is used before every numerical specification to indicate a conventional level of variability. For example, a numerical specification that is “approximately” given a value may vary by ±10% of the above value, or conversely, this variation may be ±5%, ±2%, or ±1% of this value. It should also be understood that, although not necessarily explicitly stated, the reagents described herein are merely illustrative, and their equivalents are known in the art.

[0024] As used herein and in the claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include multiple referents unless otherwise clearly indicated by the context. For example, the term “cell” includes multiple cells (including mixtures thereof). Unless otherwise specified or made clear by the context, the term “or” as used herein is understood to be inclusive. The term “including” is used herein to mean “including, but not limited to,” and is used interchangeably with this phrase.

[0025] Where used herein, the terms “comprising” or “comprises” are intended to mean that a composition and method includes the elements listed without excluding other elements. “Essentially consisting of” when used to define a composition and method means excluding any other elements that are essentially important to the purposes described. Thus, a composition essentially consisting of the elements defined herein would not exclude trace impurities from isolation and purification methods and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as phosphate-buffered saline, preservatives, etc. “Consists of” means excluding other components beyond trace amounts, and substantial method steps for administering the compositions of this disclosure, or process steps for producing the compositions or achieving the intended results. Embodiments defined by each of these transitional terms are within the scope of this disclosure. The use of the term “comprising” herein is intended to encompass and disclose corresponding statements in which the term “comprising” is replaced by “consisting essentially of” or “consisting of.”

[0026] The terms "subject," "individual," or "patient" are used interchangeably herein and refer to vertebrates such as mammals. Mammals include, but are not limited to, rodents, livestock, sports animals, pets, and primates, such as mice, rats, rabbits, monkeys, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats, horses, and humans. In certain embodiments, the mammal is a human.

[0027] "Administering" is defined herein as a means of providing a drug or a composition containing a drug to a target in a manner that brings the drug into contact with (e.g., internally) the body of the target. Such administration may be by any route, including but not limited to oral, transdermal (e.g., by vagina, rectal, or oral mucosa), injection (e.g., subcutaneous, intravenous, parenteral, intraperitoneal, or intracentral nervous system), or inhalation (e.g., oral or nasal). Administration may also include providing a substance or composition to a portion of the surface of the body of the target, for example, by topical administration to the skin. Pharmaceutical formulations are, of course, administered in a form appropriate to each route of administration.

[0028] Treating or treating a disease includes: (1) preventing the disease, i.e., preventing the development of clinical symptoms of the disease in patients who are susceptible to the disease but have not yet experienced or manifested symptoms of the disease; (2) inhibiting the disease, i.e., stopping or reducing the onset of the disease or its clinical symptoms; and / or (3) alleviating the disease, i.e., causing regression of the disease or its clinical symptoms.

[0029] The term "affected" refers, when used in conjunction with the term "treatment," to a patient or individual who has been diagnosed with or is susceptible to the disease. A patient may also be referred to as "at risk of developing" the disease due to a family history of the disease or the presence of disease-related genetic mutations. A patient at risk of developing the disease has not yet developed all or some of the characteristic pathological features of the disease.

[0030] An effective dose or therapeutically effective dose is the amount sufficient to produce a beneficial or desired result. An effective dose may be administered in one or more doses, applications, or dosages. Such delivery depends on many variables, including the duration of use of individual dose units, the bioavailability of the therapeutic agent, and the route of administration. However, the specific dose level of the therapeutic agent of this disclosure for any particular subject depends on various factors, including, for example, the activity of the specific compound used, the subject's age, weight, overall health, sex, and diet, administration time, excretion rate, drug combination, severity of the specific disorder being treated, and the form of administration. Therapeutic doses can generally be titrated to optimize safety and efficacy. Typically, dose-response relationships from in vitro and / or in vivo studies can first provide useful guidance on an appropriate dose for patient administration. Generally, it would be desirable to administer an amount of the compound effective in achieving a serum level corresponding to the concentration found to be effective in vitro. Determining these parameters is well within the scope of the art of the art. These considerations, as well as effective formulations and administration procedures, are well known in the art and described in standard texts. As used herein in accordance with this definition, the term “therapeutic dose” is a quantity sufficient to treat (e.g., improve) one or more symptoms associated with a condition. The total daily dose may be administered as a single dose or in divided doses and may, at the physician’s discretion, deviate from the typical range shown herein.

[0031] As used herein, the terms “increase” and “rise” are interchangeable and encompass any measurable increase in biological function and / or biological activity and / or concentration. For example, an increase could be at least about 10%, for example at least about 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%, for example at least about 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%. Thus, an increase could be at least about 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 times the amount or function, or activity or concentration of the control or baseline, for example at least about 20, 25, 50, 100, or more.

[0032] As used herein, the terms “increased expression” and / or “increased activity” of a substance such as ERK5 in a sample or cancer or patient typically refer to an increase in the amount of the substance (e.g., MAPK7 gene product or ERK5 protein), but may also mean an increase in the biological activity of the substance (e.g., constitutive activation of phosphorylation and / or decreased recognition of phosphorylation sites of ERK5). For example, the increase may be in amounts of about 5%, e.g., about 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%, e.g., about 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%. Therefore, the increase may be about 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 times, for example, about 20, 25, 50, 100 times or more, compared to the amount (or activity) of a substance such as ERK5 in a control sample or multiple control samples, for example, individuals or populations without disease or disorder (e.g., cancer), or in internal controls, as determined by techniques known in the art. If the expression and / or activity of ERK5 increases by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or more standard deviations compared to the mean (value) or median of ERK5 in the control group of the sample, the baseline group of the sample, or retrospective analysis of patient samples, the subject may also be determined to have "increased expression" or "increased activity" of ERK5. As practiced in the art, such control or baseline expression levels can be determined or measured in advance of measurements in the sample or cancer or subject, or can be obtained from a database of such control samples.

[0033] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable excipients” encompasses any of the standard pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, such as those listed in, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (20th ed., Mack Publishing Co., 2000). Such excipients include carriers such as phosphate-buffered saline and water, and emulsions such as oil / water or water / oil emulsions, as well as various types of wetting agents. Pharmaceutical compositions may also include stabilizers, preservatives, adjuvants, fillers, binders, lubricants, and the like.

[0034] As used herein, the term “alkyl” means a saturated linear or branched free radical essentially consisting of carbon atoms and a corresponding number of hydrogen atoms. Exemplary alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, and the like. Other alkyl groups will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, given the interests of this disclosure. Terms such as “(C1-C3) alkyl” and “(C1-C6) alkyl” have an equivalent meaning, i.e., a saturated linear or branched free radical essentially consisting of 1-3 (or 1-6) carbon atoms and a corresponding number of hydrogen atoms. The definition of “alkyl” also applies in the context of other groups containing alkyl groups, e.g., “O(C1-C3) alkyl”. The term “haloalkyl” means an alkyl group substituted with one or more halogens. Exemplary haloalkyl groups include trifluoromethyl, trifluoroethyl, difluoroethyl, pentafluoroethyl, chloromethyl, and the like. One or more carbon atoms in the alkyl group skeleton may be substituted (or bonded) by heteroatoms via multiple bonds (e.g., double bonds). For example, the carbon atoms of an alkyl group may be bonded to oxygen via double bonds (i.e., substituted with oxos to provide carbonyl functionality). The presence of such substituents does not prevent the carbon skeleton of a free radical from being considered an alkyl group.

[0035] As used herein, the term “cyclic group” means a saturated, partially or fully unsaturated, or aromatic group having at least 3 to 10 atoms (i.e., ring atoms) that form a ring. Where a cyclic group is defined as having a certain number of members, terms such as “membered,” “membered,” etc., are used to indicate the number of ring atoms in the above cyclic group. For example, a five-membered cyclic group (e.g., a five-membered heterocyclic group) contains five ring atoms. It will be understood that a cyclic group may be part of a larger cyclic system. For example, bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane contains two carboncyclic groups, namely a cyclohexane group and a cyclopentane group, fused to form a carbocyclic system that constitutes the molecule. The term “cyclic group” is intended to encompass both carboncyclic and heterocyclic groups. The term “carboncyclic” refers to a group having at least 3 to 9 carbon atoms that form a ring. The term "heterocyclic" refers to a group having at least 3 to 10 atoms forming a ring, where at least 1 to 9 of the ring atoms are carbon, and the remaining at least 1 to 9 ring atoms (i.e., heterocyclic atoms) are independently selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen.

[0036] As used herein with respect to cyclic groups, the terms “spiro” or “spirocyclic” indicate that a first cyclic group in a polycyclic system is bonded to a second cyclic group in the same polycyclic system, and the ring atoms of the first and second cyclic groups share only one common atom, i.e., the first and second cyclic groups share only one common ring atom. For example, the spiro[5.5]undecanyl group contains two cyclohexane rings sharing a single carbocyclic atom.

[0037] As used herein with respect to cyclic groups, the term “fusion” means that a first cyclic group in a polycyclic system is bonded to a second cyclic group in the same polycyclic system, and the ring atoms of the first cyclic group and the ring atoms of the second cyclic group have two adjacent atoms in common, i.e., the first and second cyclic groups share two common ring atoms. For example, the bicyclo[4.4.0]decanyl group contains two cyclohexane rings that have two adjacent carbocyclic atoms in common.

[0038] As used herein with respect to cyclic groups, the term “bridged” means that a first cyclic group in a polycyclic system is bonded to a second cyclic group in the same polycyclic system, and the ring atoms of the first cyclic group and the ring atoms of the second cyclic group have more than two adjacent atoms in common, i.e., the first and second cyclic groups share three or more common ring atoms. For example, the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanyl group contains two cyclohexane rings that have three adjacent carbocyclic atoms in common.

[0039] Within the structural formulas described herein, any ring system (including any spiro, fusion, or bridging ring systems) may be connected to other parts of the molecule via any atom having the appropriate valency. For example, a bicyclic ring may be connected to another part of the molecule via a ring atom (e.g., a second carbon atom or a heteroatom such as N) or a bridgehead (e.g., a third carbon atom). Spiro, fusion, and bridging rings may be fully unsaturated, partially unsaturated, or fully saturated, and one or more of the rings constituting them may have aromatic properties.

[0040] As used herein, the term “cycloalkyl” means a saturated free radical having at least 3 to 9 carbon atoms (i.e., ring atoms) forming a ring. Exemplary cycloalkyl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl. It should be understood that cycloalkyl groups can be monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., fused, cross-linked, or spirocyclic). In the case of polycyclic cycloalkyl groups, there may be further rings, e.g., one or more additional rings, all containing 3 to 7 carbon atoms (i.e., ring atoms). An example of a cycloalkyl group having such additional rings is bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanyl. The term “(C3-C7) cycloalkyl” indicates that the cycloalkyl group contains 3 to 7 carbon atoms in the ring portion of the group, which may be monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., fused, cross-linked, or spirocyclic), e.g., cyclopropanyl (having 3 ring carbon atoms) or bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanyl (having 5 ring carbon atoms). One or more ring atoms of a cycloalkyl group can be substituted (i.e., bonded) by a heteroatom via a double bond (e.g., an oxo-substituted cycloalkyl group). The presence of such substituents does not prevent the carbon skeleton of the free radical from being considered a cycloalkyl group.

[0041] As used herein, the term “aryl” means an aromatic free radical having at least six carbon atoms (i.e., ring atoms) forming a ring. It will be understood that aryl groups can be monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., fusion). In the case of polycyclic aryl groups, there are further rings, e.g., one or more further rings, all containing at least three carbon atoms (i.e., ring atoms). The further rings may also contain one or more heteroatoms, which may be saturated, unsaturated, or aromatic. Polycyclic aryl groups are typically bonded to the rest of the molecule via an aromatic ring and not typically via a ring containing heteroatoms. In embodiments, polycyclic aryl groups do not contain ring heteroatoms. Examples of aryl groups include the phenyl and naphthalenyl groups, as well as the indenyl and indanyl groups. Other aryl groups include, for example, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, which is bonded to the rest of the molecule via its phenyl ring. (C6~C 10 The term "aryl" indicates that the aryl group contains 6 to 10 carbon atoms in the ring portion of the group, which can be monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., fusion), and can be, for example, phenyl (having 6 ring carbon atoms) or indanyl (having 9 ring carbon atoms). In embodiments, (C6~C 10 ) Aryl is phenyl.

[0042] As used herein, the term “heterocycloalkyl” means a saturated free radical having at least 3 to 10 atoms (i.e., ring atoms) forming a ring, where at least 1 to 9 of the ring atoms are carbon, and the remaining at least 1 to 9 ring atoms (i.e., heterocyclic atoms) are independently selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen. In embodiments, the heterocyclic atoms are independently selected from the group consisting of nitrogen and oxygen. For example, the term “4-10 membered heterocycloalkyl” means a saturated free radical containing 4 to 10 ring atoms, one or more of which are heterocyclic atoms. Heterocycloalkyl rings typically have oxo substituents adjacent to the heteroatoms (e.g., 2-oxopyrrolidinyl), but oxygen atoms do not form part of the ring and are excluded from the number of ring atoms. The presence of such substituents does not prevent the ring (or more rings) of the free radical from being considered a heterocycloalkyl group. Exemplary heterocycloalkyl groups include tetrahydrofuranil, piperidinyl, morpholinil, and piperazinyl. Any ring sulfur atom can optionally support one or more pendant (i.e., non-ring) oxygen atoms, as seen, for example, in sulforanyl groups. In the case of polycyclic heterocyclic groups, there are further rings, e.g., one or more rings, all containing 3 to 7 ring atoms selected from carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen. The further rings may be saturated or partially or completely unsaturated (e.g., having aromatic properties). Examples of polycyclic heterocyclic groups include fusion, bridging, and spirocyclic ring systems. When a polycyclic heterocycloalkyl group contains an unsaturated fusion ring, the group typically does not bond to the rest of the molecule via its fusion ring. Exemplary polycyclic heterocyclic groups include 2-oxa-6-azaspiro[3.3]heptane, 3,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane, 2,6-diazabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane, and octahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine. When a heterocycloalkyl group is described as having "X~Y members" (where X and Y are integers), this means that the heterocycloalkyl group contains a total number of ring atoms from X to Y.Therefore, for example, a "4- to 7-membered heterocycloalkyl group" contains a total of 4, 5, 6, or 7 ring atoms, such as tetrahydropyranyl (6 ring atoms).

[0043] As used herein, the term “heteroaryl” typically refers to an aromatic (i.e., aromatic) free radical containing 5 to 10 ring atoms, where 1 to 9 of the ring atoms are carbon, and the remaining 1 to 9 ring atoms (i.e., heterocyclic atoms) are independently selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen. In embodiments, the heterocyclic atoms are selected from nitrogen and sulfur. It should be understood that heteroaryl groups can be monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., fusion). In the case of polycyclic heteroaryl groups, there may be further rings, e.g., one or more further rings, all of which contain at least three atoms (i.e., ring atoms), and the further rings may optionally be aromatic. Examples of heteroaryl groups include monocyclic groups such as pyridyl, and polycyclic groups such as 2-oxopyridinyl and indolyl. When a heteroaryl group is described as “X-Y member,” this means that the heteroaryl group contains a total of X to Y ring atoms. Therefore, for example, a "5- to 10-membered heteroaryl group" contains a total of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 ring atoms, such as indolyl (9 ring atoms). In embodiments, the 5- to 10-membered heteroaryl is 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine.

[0044] As used herein, the terms “halo” and “halogen” mean fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. These terms are used interchangeably and may refer to a halogen-free radical group or such halogen atom. Those skilled in the art will be able to readily confirm their distinction by considering the context in which these terms are used in this disclosure. In embodiments, halogens are selected from fluorine and bromine, for example, fluorine.

[0045] As used herein, the term "oxo" refers to a free radical in which an oxygen atom is connected to the atom having this radical via a double bond. For example, when a carbon atom supports an oxo radical, it forms a carbon-oxygen double bond. It will be understood that not all atoms in a given structure can be substituted with an oxo, and this depends on the free valence of the atom being substituted.

[0046] The compounds of this disclosure are described in particular by their structural formulas. These formulas typically represent only one form of the compound (e.g., a resonance form, a tautomer form, etc.), but it will be understood that certain compounds may exist in multiple such forms. This will be readily apparent to an experienced reader. This disclosure includes all possible tautomers of the compounds characterized by the preceding and following structural formulas, either as a single tautomer or as any mixture of tautomers in any ratio. For example, the pyridoimidazolon moiety (which may be called 3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-2-one or 3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-2-ol, as shown in formula (I)) may be represented by any of the following tautomer forms, which are used interchangeably throughout this specification: [ka]

[0047] It should be understood that certain compounds may exist in one or more isomeric (e.g., stereoisomeric) forms. This disclosure includes all possible stereoisomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, etc., of the compounds described above and below, as well as their cis and trans forms and conformations. Purification and separation of isomers can be achieved by the methods described below and by techniques known in the art. For example, optical isomers of a compound can be obtained by degrading a racemic mixture of its diastereoisomer salts (e.g., by using optically active acids or bases, or by forming covalent diastereomers). Different processes for the separation of optical isomers include the use of chiral chromatography (e.g., HPLC columns using a chiral phase), with or without conventional derivatization. Enzymatic separation may also be useful, with or without derivatization, and the optically active compounds of this disclosure can similarly be obtained by chiral synthesis utilizing optically active starting materials. This disclosure includes all possible stereoisomers of the compounds described herein, either as single stereoisomers or in any mixture of the stereoisomers, for example, as (R)- or (S)-isomers, in any proportion.

[0048] The compounds of this disclosure may exist in the form of free acids or bases, or as addition salts having a suitable acid or base. For example, the basic compound of formula (I) may be provided as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt having an acid such as HCl, TFA, or formic acid (e.g., TFA). Methods for forming the salts are described below and are known in the art (e.g., Berge et al., J Pharm Sci. (1977) 66:1-19).

[0049] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” in relation to salts means salts of the compounds of this disclosure that can be administered without causing any substantially undesirable biological effects or consequently harmful interactions with any other components of a pharmaceutical composition in which they may be included.

[0050] A group defined as "optionally substituted" may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents, e.g., one, two, three, four, five, six or more substituents. In embodiments, the substituent has one to four substituents, e.g., one, two, or three substituents. In embodiments, the substituent has one or two substituents. In embodiments, the substituent has three substituents.

[0337] Example 68 - ERK5 inhibitory activity of the compound Two assays were performed to evaluate the ERK5 inhibitory activity of the compound in the example, using cell-based assays and cell-free biochemical assays. The assay results are shown in Table 2 below. When repeated measurements were performed, the reported values ​​are mean values.

[0338] Inhibition of cellular ERK5 activity Renal cancer cell line SN12C was transduced by lentivirus pGreenFire1 MEF2 EF1 Neo (see TR030VA-N) from SBI using a standard infection protocol. pGreenFire1 MEF2 EF1 Neo enables the expression of the luciferase gene under the control of a minimal promoter with an MEF2 transcriptional response element. Cells containing the reporter construct were selected by genethecin treatment. The selected cells were then transposed with the piggyback-based plasmid pCM4007, enabling the expression of constitutively activated MEK5DD under the control of the doxycycline-regulating promoter, TREG3. Metastatic cells were selected by puromycin treatment. MEK5DD was expressed after doxycycline treatment (1 μg / ml). MEK5DD activates ERK5, which phosphorylates the MEF2C protein. The activated MEF2C protein can then bind to its transcriptional response element. Luciferase is then expressed. 50,000 cells were inoculated into 142.5 μl of RPMI medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% glutamine, and 1 μg / ml doxycycline in a 96-well plate (96F nuncleon ref137101 thermofisher). After 24 hours, 0.1% of the compound was added to 7.5 μl of culture medium (containing 2% DMSO) to obtain the desired concentration (0.3–10000 nM). Luciferase activity was measured using Kit Bright Glo Luminescent Cell Assay Cat E2610 (Promega) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Luminescence was determined using Tecan SPARK with a reading of 0.2 seconds / well. IC was extracted using XLFIT5 in Microsoft Excel using Method 205. 50 The value was calculated. IC 50 The value represents the concentration of the compound that inhibits measurable luminescence signals by 50% compared to DMSO-treated control cells.

[0339] Cell-free assay for ERK5 inhibition Assays were performed to measure the ability of each compound to inhibit ERK5 enzyme activity. The potency of the compounds was evaluated by time-resolved Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET system). The activation catalytic domain of the protein ERK5 (CarnaBiosciences#04-146) was mixed with various concentrations of the compounds at 4 nM and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. A mixture of 1 mM ATP and 1 μM biotinylated synthetic peptide was added (Biosyntan GmbH). This synthetic peptide represents amino acids 30-52 of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (see, for example, the sequence of accession number NP_004086.1) biotinylated at the N-terminus. After 30 minutes at 37°C, peptide phosphorylation by ERK5 was measured by adding a FRET reagent consisting of 12.5 μg / ml streptavidin-XL665, 1 nM anti-P-4EBP1 antibody, and 300 ng / ml anti-rabbit K antibody. After 90 minutes at room temperature, the fluorescence signal was read using a BMG Labtech (Exc° 340nm, Em1 620nm, Em2 665nm) Pherastar FSX multimod detector. 50 The value represents the concentration of the compound that inhibits the measurable fluorescence signal by 50% compared to a control with DMSO alone.
