Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] Related applications This application claims the benefit of priority under U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 523,993, filed on 29 June 2023, under Section 119(e) of the U.S. Patent Act, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [Background technology]

[0002] Deoxyribonucleic acid methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is an epigenetic writer protein that regulates DNA methylation during cell proliferation. DNA methylation is a well-studied epigenetic regulatory mechanism that affects the transcription of important genes, and excessive or hypomethylation of DNA has been found to be associated with many human diseases, including cancer. Therefore, abnormal DNMT1 activity plays a crucial role in the development of cancer. Existing drugs targeting DNMT1 dysregulation, such as decitabine and 5-azacitidine, are highly toxic, and cancer cells often develop drug resistance. [Overview of the Initiative]

It has, The linker represents the portion that covalently connects the degron and the targeted ligand. Degron is given by formula D1, D2, or D3

[0010] [ka] [In the formula, Q is either CH2 or C(O), X1 is O, NH, CH2, or C≡C. R7 is a C1-C3 alkyl group that is substituted with H or optionally substituted, or R7 and R8, together with the carbon atoms to which they are bonded, form a cyclopropyl group. R8 is H, methyl, or

[0013] [ka] And,

[0014] [ka] This is a bond between a degron and a linker, provided that there is exactly one bond between the degron and the linker. [has].

[0015] Another aspect of this disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

[0016] Another embodiment of this disclosure provides a method for producing a compound.

[0017] Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for treating a disease or disorder involving (characterized by or mediated by) abnormal DNMT1 activity, comprising the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof to a subject in need.

[0018] While not intended to be constrained by any particular theory of action, the compounds of Formula I (also referred to herein as PROTAC or degradation agents) are thought to promote the degradation of DNMT1 via the cellular ubiquitin / proteasome system, which normally functions to identify and remove damaged proteins. Following the disruption of the DNMT1 protein molecule, the degradation agents are released and remain active. Thus, by utilizing and leveraging the body's own innate protein efflux system, the compounds of this disclosure may demonstrate potential improvements over existing small molecule inhibitors of DNMT1. Consequently, effective intracellular concentrations of the degradation agents can be significantly lower than those for small molecule DNMT1 inhibitors. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0204] [ka] They are represented by either a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.

[0205] The compounds of this disclosure may take the form of free acids, free bases, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of this disclosure may be formed, for example, by reacting a suitable free base of the compound with a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid in a suitable solvent under standard conditions well known in the art. See, for example, Gould, PL, "Salt selection for basic drugs," International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 33:201-217 (1986); Bastin, RJ, et al., "Salt Selection and Optimization Procedures for Pharmaceutical New Chemical Entities," Organic Process Research and Development, 4:427-435 (2000); and Berge, SM, et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 66:1-19, (1977).

[0206] The compounds of this disclosure may have at least one chiral center, and therefore, as used herein, they may take the form of stereoisomers encompassing all isomers that differ only in the spatial orientation of their atoms. The term stereoisomer includes enantiomers (enantiomers containing the (R-) or (S-) configuration of a compound), mixtures of enantiomers of a compound (physical mixtures of enantiomers, and racemates or racemic mixtures), geometric (cis / trans or E / Z, R / S) isomers of a compound, and diastereomers of a compound having more than one chiral center that is not mirror image of each other. The chiral centers of a compound may undergo epimerization in vivo. Therefore, for these compounds, a dose of its (R-) form is considered equivalent to a dose of its (S-) form. Accordingly, the compounds of this disclosure may be prepared and used in the form of individual isomers substantially free of other isomers, or in the form of mixtures of various isomers, such as racemic mixtures of stereoisomers.

[0207] In some embodiments, the compound of formula (I) is an isotopic derivative in that it has, i.e., is enriched, at least one desired isotopic substitution of an atom in an amount exceeding the natural abundance of the isotope. In one embodiment, the compound contains deuterium or a plurality of deuterium atoms. Hereinafter, the term “compound” encompasses isotopic derivatives.

[0208] Compounds of formula (I) can also exist in the form of N-oxides, crystalline forms (which are also known as polymorphs), cocrystals, active metabolites of compounds having the same type of activity, prodrugs, tautomers, and non-solvated and solvated (e.g., hydrated) forms of the compound with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water and ethanol. In this specification, the term “compound” encompasses all of these forms.

[0209] The compound of formula (I) can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions and may exist as one or a combination of polymorphs of the compound. For example, different polymorphs can be fractionated and / or prepared by carrying out crystallization at different temperatures using different solvents or mixtures of different solvents for recrystallization, or by using various modes of cooling during crystallization, ranging from fairly fast to fairly slow cooling. Polymorphs can also be obtained by heating or melting the compound and then cooling it slowly or rapidly. The presence of polymorphs can be determined by solid-state probe NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, and / or other known techniques.

[0210] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a cocrystal of the compound of formula (I). The term "cocrystal" as used herein refers to a stoichiometric multicomponent system comprising the compound of formula (I) and a cocrystal-forming agent, wherein the compound of formula (I) and the cocrystal-forming agent are linked by non-covalent interactions. The term "cocrystal-forming agent" as used herein refers to a compound that can form intermolecular interactions with the compound of formula (I) and cocrystallize with it. Typical examples of cocrystal-forming agents include benzoic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, glutaric acid, trans-cinnamic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, glycolic acid, trans-2-hexanoic acid, 2-hydroxycaproic acid, lactic acid, sorbic acid, tartaric acid, ferulic acid, suberic acid, picolinic acid, salicylic acid, maleic acid, saccharin, 4,4'-bipyridine p-aminosalicylic acid, nicotinamide, urea, isonicotinamide, methyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid, adipic acid, terephthalic acid, resorcinol, pyrogallol, phloroglucinol, hydroxyquinol, isoniazid, theophylline, adenine, theobromine, phenacetin, phenazone, etophylline, and phenobarbital.

[0211] Synthesis method In some embodiments, this disclosure relates to methods for preparing compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or stereoisomers thereof. Generally, the compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or stereoisomers thereof can be prepared by any process known to be applicable to the preparation of chemically related compounds. The compounds of this disclosure are described in various examples and are best understood in relation to synthetic schemes illustrating non-limiting methods by which the compounds of this disclosure can be prepared.

[0212] Pharmaceutical composition Another aspect of this disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” means, as is known in the art, a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition, or vehicle suitable for administering the compound of this disclosure to a mammal. Suitable carriers include, for example, liquids (both aqueous and non-aqueous, and combinations thereof), solids, encapsulating materials, gases, and combinations thereof (e.g., semi-solids), and gases that serve to transport or deliver the compound from one organ or body part to another. The carrier is “acceptable” in the sense that it is physiologically inert and compatible with the other components of the formulation and is not harmful to the subject or patient. Depending on the type of formulation, the composition may also include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

[0213] In general, compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers can be formulated into a given type of composition according to conventional pharmaceutical practices such as conventional mixing, dissolution, granulation, sugar-coating, polishing, emulsification, encapsulation, encapsulation, and compression processes, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in whole (see, for example, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (20th ed.), ed. AR Gennaro, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000 and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J. Swarbrick and JC Boylan, 1988-1999, Marcel Dekker, New York). The type of formulation depends on the method of administration, which may include enteral (e.g., oral, oral, sublingual, and rectal), parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous (sc), intravenous (iv), intramuscular (im), and intrasternal injection or infusion techniques, intraocular, intra-arterial, intramedullary, intrasacral, intraventricular, percutaneous, intradermal, intravaginal, intraperitoneal, mucosal, nasal, intratracheal, bronchial, and inhalation), and topical (e.g., percutaneous).

[0214] Generally, the most appropriate route of administration depends on various factors, including, for example, the properties of the drug (e.g., its stability in the gastrointestinal environment) and / or the conditions of the subject (e.g., whether the subject can tolerate oral administration). For example, parenteral administration (e.g., intravenous) can be advantageous in that the compound can be administered relatively quickly, such as in single-dose treatments and / or acute conditions.

[0215] In some embodiments, the compound is formulated for oral or intravenous administration (e.g., systemic intravenous injection).

[0216] Therefore, compounds of formula (I) can be formulated into solid compositions (e.g., powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories), liquid compositions (e.g., solutions for dissolving the compound, suspensions for dispersing solid particles of the compound, emulsions, and solutions containing liposomes, micelles, or nanoparticles, syrups, and elixirs), semi-solid compositions (e.g., gels, suspensions, and creams), and gases (e.g., propellants for aerosol compositions). The compounds can also be formulated for immediate, medium-duration, or sustained release.

[0217] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is a carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and a) fillers or bulking agents such as starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, and d) crosslinked polymers (e.g., crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone (crospovidone), crosslinked sodium carboxymethylcellulose). The solid is mixed with additional carriers or excipients such as (croscarmellose sodium), sodium starch glycolate, agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and disintegrants such as sodium carbonate; e) dissolution retarders such as paraffin; f) absorption enhancers such as quaternary ammonium compounds; g) wetting agents such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay; and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage form may also include a buffer. Similar types of solid compositions can also be used as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using excipients such as lactose and high molecular weight polyethylene glycol. Solid dosage forms of tablets, sugar-coated tablets, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared using coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings. They may further contain opacifying agents.

[0218] In some embodiments, the compound of formula (I) can be formulated in hard or soft gelatin capsules. Typical excipients that can be used include pregelatinized starch, magnesium stearate, mannitol, sodium stearyl fumarate, lactose anhydride, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium croscarmellose. The gelatin shell may contain gelatin, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, and colorants.

[0219] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include solutions, suspensions, emulsions, microemulsifies, syrups, and elixirs. Liquid dosage forms may contain, in addition to the compound, water or other solvents, solubilizers, and emulsifiers, which are commonly used in the art and may be aqueous or non-aqueous carriers (depending on the solubility of the compound), such as water or other solvents, solubilizers, and emulsifiers, etc., such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (especially cottonseed, peanut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol and sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Oral compositions may also contain excipients such as wetting agents, suspending agents, colorants, sweeteners, flavoring agents, and fragrances.

[0220] Parenterally administered injectable formulations may include sterile aqueous solutions or oily suspensions. Injectable formulations can be formulated using suitable dispersing or wetting and suspending agents according to standard techniques. Sterile injectable formulations may also be sterile injectable solutions, suspensions, or emulsions as solutions of non-toxic, parenterally acceptable diluents or solvents, such as 1,3-butanediol. Acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed include water, Ringer's solution (USP), and isotonic salines. In addition, sterile fixatives have conventionally been employed as solvents or suspension media. For this reason, any non-irritating fixative, including synthetic mono or diglycerides, can be employed. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectable formulations. Injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating a sterilizer in the form of a sterile solid composition that can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable media before use. The effect of a compound can be prolonged by delaying its absorption, which can be achieved by using a liquid suspension with insufficient water solubility or by using crystalline or amorphous materials. Prolongation of absorption of a compound from parenteral formulations can also be achieved by suspending the compound in an oily vehicle.

[0221] In certain embodiments, the compound of formula (I) can be administered topically rather than systemically, for example, by direct injection of a conjugate into an organ, often as a depot or sustained-release formulation. In certain embodiments, long-acting formulations are administered by implantation (e.g., subcutaneous or intramuscular) or intramuscular injection. Injectable depot formulations are prepared by forming a microcapsule matrix of the compound in biodegradable polymers, such as polylactide-polyglycolide, poly(orthoester), and poly(anhydride). The release rate of the compound can be controlled by changing the ratio of the compound to the polymer and the properties of the particular polymer employed. Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by encapsulating the compound in liposomes or microemulsifications that are compatible with body tissues. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the compound is encapsulated in a targeted drug delivery system, for example, in liposomes coated with organ-specific antibodies. In such embodiments, the liposomes are targeted to an organ and selectively taken up by the organ.

[0222] The compositions can be formulated for oral or sublingual administration, and examples of compositions include tablets, lozenges, and gels.

[0223] The compound of formula (I) can be formulated for administration by inhalation. Various forms suitable for administration by inhalation include aerosols, mists, or powders. The pharmaceutical composition can be delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from a pressurized pack or nebulizer using a suitable propellant (e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide, or other suitable gas). In some embodiments, the dosage unit of the pressurized aerosol can be determined by providing a valve for delivering a measured amount. In some embodiments, capsules and cartridges containing gelatin, for example, capsules and cartridges for use in inhalers or injectors, can be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.

[0224] The compounds of formula (I) can be formulated for topical administration, which, as used herein, refers to intradermal administration by injection of the formulation into the epidermis. These types of compositions are typically in the form of ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, and sprays.

[0225] Typical examples of carriers useful when formulating compounds for topical application include solvents (e.g., alcohols, polyalcohols, water), creams, lotions, ointments, oils, bandages, liposomes, powders, emulsions, microemulsifications, and buffer solutions (e.g., hypotonic or buffered saline). Creams can be formulated using saturated or unsaturated fatty acids such as stearic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, palmitooleic acid, cetyl, or oleyl alcohol. Creams may also contain nonionic surfactants such as polyoxy-40-stearate.

[0226] In some embodiments, topical formulations may also include excipients, examples of which are penetration enhancers. These agents can deliver pharmacologically active compounds to the epidermis or dermis via the stratum corneum, preferably with little to no systemic absorption. A wide variety of compounds have been evaluated for their effectiveness in enhancing the skin penetration of drugs. See, for example, Percutaneous Penetration Enhancers, Maibach HI and Smith HE (eds.), CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, Fla. (1995), which investigates the use and testing of various skin penetration enhancers, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in whole, and Buyuktimkin et al., Chemical Means of Transdermal Drug Permeation Enhancement in Transdermal and Topical Drug Delivery Systems, Gosh TK, Pfister WR, Yum SI (Eds.), Interpharm Press Inc., Buffalo Grove, Ill. (1997). Typical examples of penetration enhancers include triglycerides (e.g., soybean oil), aloe compositions (e.g., aloe vera gel), ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, octrilphenyl polyethylene glycol, oleic acid, polyethylene glycol 400, propylene glycol, N-decylmethyl sulfoxide, fatty acid esters (e.g., isopropyl myristate, methyl laurate, glycerol monooleate, and propylene glycol monooleate), and N-methylpyrrolidone.

[0227] Representative examples of further excipients that may be included (to the extent possible) in topical and other types of formulations include preservatives, antioxidants, humectants, emollients, buffers, solubilizers, skin protectants, and surfactants. Suitable preservatives include alcohols, quaternary amines, organic acids, parabens, and phenols. Suitable antioxidants include ascorbic acid and its esters, sodium bisulfite, butylated hydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole, tocopherol, and chelating agents such as EDTA and citrate. Suitable humectants include glycerin, sorbitol, polyethylene glycol, urea, and propylene glycol. Suitable buffers include citrate, hydrochloric acid, and lactic acid buffers. Suitable solubilizers include quaternary ammonium chloride, cyclodextrin, benzyl benzoate, lecithin, and polysorbate. Suitable skin protectants include vitamin E oil, allantoin, dimethicone, glycerin, petrolatum, and zinc oxide.

[0228] Transdermal formulations typically require transdermal delivery devices and transdermal delivery patches, in which case the compound is dissolved and / or dispersed in a polymer or adhesive and formulated as a lipophilic emulsion or aqueous buffer solution. Patches can be constructed for continuous, pulsed, or on-demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents. Transdermal delivery of compounds may also be achieved by ionophoresis patches. Transdermal patches can result in controlled release of compounds, and the rate of absorption is reduced by using a rate-controlled membrane or by trapping the compound within a polymer matrix or gel. Absorption enhancers can be used to increase absorption, examples of which include pharmaceutically acceptable absorbable solvents that facilitate passage through the skin.

[0229] Ophthalmic preparations include eye drops.

[0230] Formulations for rectal administration include enemas, rectal gels, rectal foams, rectal aerosols, and retained enemas, which may contain conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides, and synthetic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone and PEG. Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration may also be formulated as suppositories, which can be prepared by mixing the compound with suitable non-irritating carriers and excipients such as cocoa butter, mixtures of fatty acid glycerides, polyethylene glycol, suppository wax, and combinations thereof, all of which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature, and therefore melt in the rectal or vaginal lumen, releasing the compound.

[0231] Dosage In this specification, the term “therapeutic dose” means the amount of the compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, or a composition comprising the compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, that is effective in producing the desired therapeutic response in a particular patient in need thereof. Accordingly, the term “therapeutic dose” includes the amount of the compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, that, when administered, is sufficient to induce a positive improvement in the disease or disorder to be treated, or to prevent the onset or progression of the disease or disorder, or to some extent to alleviate one or more symptoms of the disease or disorder to be treated in the subject, or to simply kill or inhibit the growth of diseased cells (e.g., cancer, autophagy-dependent diseases (e.g., neurodegenerative disorders)), or to reduce the amount of DNMT1 in diseased cells.

[0232] The total daily dose and use of a compound can be determined, for example, by the attending physician using appropriate medical judgment, in accordance with standard medical practice. A specific therapeutically effective dose for any particular subject may depend on a variety of factors, including the disease or disorder being treated and its severity (e.g., its current condition); the subject's age, weight, general health, sex, and diet; the time of administration, route of administration, and excretion rate of the particular compound being employed; the duration of treatment; drugs used in combination with or concurrently with the compound; and similar factors well known in the medical field, which are incorporated herein by reference in whole (see, for example, Goodman and Gilman's *The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics*, 10th Edition, A. Gilman, J. Hardman and L. Limbird, eds., McGraw-Hill Press, 155-173, 2001).

[0233] How to use In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods for treating a disease or disorder by reducing the level or activity of DNMT1. The method comprises the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, to a subject in need.

[0234] Disease or disorder is characterized by, or mediated by, abnormal DNMT1 activity (e.g., elevated DNMT1 levels or otherwise functionally abnormal DNMT1, e.g., mutant DNMT1 activity associated with non-pathological conditions). “Disease” is generally considered a health condition of an object in which the object is unable to maintain homeostasis and whose health will continue to deteriorate unless the disease is improved. In contrast, “disorder” in an object is a health condition in which the object is able to maintain homeostasis, but whose health condition is less favorable than that of an object without disorder. Leaving disorder untreated does not necessarily lead to a further deterioration of the animal’s health.

[0235] The term “subject” (or “patient” as used herein includes all members of the animal kingdom who are susceptible to or suffer from the indicated disease or disorder. In some embodiments, the subject is a mammal, e.g., human or non-human mammal. The methods may also be applied to companion animals such as dogs and cats. A subject “in need of treatment” according to this disclosure is likely to have or be suspected of having a particular disease or disorder, may have been diagnosed positive, or otherwise presents a sufficient number of risk factors or a sufficient number or combination of signs or symptoms that would allow a medical professional to diagnose or suspect the subject has the disease or disorder. Thus, subjects with a particular disease or disorder and subjects suspected of having a particular disease or disorder are not necessarily two separate groups.

[0236] In some embodiments, compounds of formula (I) may be useful in treating cell proliferation disorders and impairments. Herein, the term “cell proliferation disorder or impairment” refers to conditions characterized by dysregulation or abnormal cell proliferation, or both, including noncancerous conditions such as neoplasms, precancerous conditions, benign tumors, and cancer.

[0237] In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein include treatment of subjects having cell proliferation disorders or disorders of the blood system, liver, brain, colon, prostate, breast, and head and neck.

Examples of proliferative disorders of the liver include liver cancer (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and hepatoblastoma), precancerous or precancerous conditions of the liver, benign tumors or lesions of the liver, and malignant tumors or lesions of the liver, as well as metastatic lesions of tissues and organs in other parts of the body. Proliferative disorders of the liver may include hepatic hyperplasia, metaplasia, and dysplasia.

[0240] In this specification, “cytoproliferative disorders or disorders of the brain” includes all forms of cytoproliferative disorders affecting the brain. Examples of cytoproliferative disorders of the brain include brain cancers (e.g., gliomas, glioblastomas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, vestibular schwannomas, and primitive neuroectodermal tumors (medulloblastomas)), precancerous or precancerous conditions of the brain, benign tumors or lesions of the brain, and malignant tumors or lesions of the brain, as well as metastatic lesions of tissues and organs in other parts of the body. Cytoproliferative disorders of the brain may include brain hyperplasia, metaplasia, and dysplasia.
