Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bridged bicyclic compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof suitable for modulating or inhibiting the activity of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) and its C481 mutant. The present invention also relates to a method for producing the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Furthermore, the present invention relates to applications and methods of using the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the treatment and / or prevention of cancer and autoimmune diseases. [Background technology]

[0002] BTK is a key non-receptor tyrosine kinase that mediates cell signaling and is present in plasma cells, including B cells. B cells are activated via the B cell receptor (BCR), and BTK plays a key role in the BCR-mediated signaling pathway. Activation of the BCR on B cells activates BTK, leading to increased downstream phospholipase C (PLC) levels and activation of the IP3 and DAG signaling pathways. This signaling pathway can promote cell proliferation, adhesion, and survival and plays an important role in the development of B cell lymphoma.

[0003] By inhibiting BTK activity, BTK inhibitors inhibit B lymphoma cell proliferation, disrupt tumor cell adhesion, and promote tumor cell apoptosis, making BTK a compelling target for B cell-related cancers, such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) / small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), and central nervous system leukemia (CNSL). Several BTK inhibitors are currently on the market, including Abbvie / JNJ's ibrutinib, AZ's acalabrutinib, Beigene's zanubrutinib, and Gilead / Ono's tirabrutinib, and many more are in clinical studies.

[0004] In addition to treating B cell-associated lymphomas, BTK inhibitors can also inhibit the production of B cell autoantibodies and cytokines. In autoimmune diseases, B cells present their own antigens, promote T cell activation, secrete inflammatory factors that cause tissue damage, and simultaneously produce numerous antibodies that activate B cells and induce autoimmune responses. T cells and B cells interact with each other to form a positive feedback regulatory chain that leads to uncontrolled autoimmune responses and exacerbates pathological tissue damage. Research has shown that the body contains regulatory B cells that can negatively regulate immune responses and inhibit immune-mediated inflammation through the secretion of interleukin-10 (IL-10) or transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and other mechanisms. Therefore, BTK may be a potential target for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and pemphigus. BTK inhibitors are still undergoing clinical investigation for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Among them, Sanofi's rilzabrutinib and Merck Serono's evobrutinib have achieved effective results in the treatment of pemphigus and multiple sclerosis, respectively.

[0005] Most commercially available and research-based BTK inhibitors are irreversible inhibitors that inhibit BTK activity by covalently binding to the cysteine ​​residue at position 481 of the BTK protein. After a period of ibrutinib treatment, some B-cell lymphoma patients develop mutations at C481 in BTK, such as C481S, that cause ibrutinib to lose its covalent binding site to the protein, resulting in reduced ibrutinib activity and making the patients resistant to ibrutinib treatment (Quinquenel, et. al Blood 2019, 134, 641-644).

[0006] There is a need for BTK inhibitors that effectively inhibit the activity of BTK and its C481 mutant and overcome the drug resistance caused by the C481 mutation associated with irreversible BTK inhibitors. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Detailed Description of the Invention definition Unless otherwise stated, the following terms used in this application have the following meanings:

[0008] "CSF / plasma ratio (Kp,CSF)" refers to the ratio of the compound concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to the compound concentration in plasma. The ability of a compound to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) ​​is assessed by measuring the compound's concentration in rodent CSF and plasma and determining the ratio (Kp,CSF).

[0009] "Isomers" refer to compounds that share a common molecular formula but differ in the bonding positions and spatial arrangement of their atoms. Isomers that differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms are called "stereoisomers." Stereoisomers include optical isomers, geometric isomers, and conformational isomers.

[0010] The compounds of the present invention may exist as optical isomers. Optical isomers include enantiomers and diastereomers. An enantiomer is one of two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other and are not superimposable. A racemic mixture or racemate is one that contains equal amounts of levorotatory and dextrorotatory enantiomers of a chiral molecule. Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other and are not superimposable. When a compound is a single isomer and the absolute configuration has been determined, it is referred to as the "R" or "S" isomer, depending on the arrangement of substituents around the chiral carbon atom. When the absolute configuration has not been determined, it is referred to as the (+) or (-) isomer, depending on the measured optical rotation. Methods for preparing and separating optical isomers are known to those skilled in the art.

[0011] The compounds of the present invention may have geometric isomers resulting from the distribution of substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond, a carbon-nitrogen double bond, a cycloalkyl group, or a heterocyclyl group. Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond or a carbon-nitrogen bond are said to be in the Z or E configuration, and substituents around a cycloalkyl or heterocycle are said to be in the cis or trans configuration.

[0012] Compounds of the invention may also exhibit tautomerism, such as keto-enol tautomerism.

[0013] The present invention includes any tautomeric or stereoisomeric form and mixtures thereof and is not limited to the tautomeric or stereoisomeric forms specified in the compound nomenclature or chemical structure.

[0014] "Isotopes" include all stable isotopes of atoms in the compounds of the present invention. Isotopes include atoms with the same atomic number but different masses. Examples of isotopes suitable for incorporation into compounds of the present invention are isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine, and chlorine. 2 H(D), 3 H, 13 C. 14 C. 15 N, 18 O. 17 O. 31 P, 32 P, 35 S, 18 F and 36 Examples include, but are not limited to, Cl. Isotopically labeled compounds of the present invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, or by methods similar to those described in the embodiments, using an appropriate isotopically labeled reagent instead of a non-isotopically labeled reagent. Such compounds have a variety of potential uses, such as standards and reagents in determining biological activity. With stable isotopes, such compounds may advantageously alter biological, pharmacological, or pharmacokinetic properties. Deuterium 2 H(D) is a preferred isotope of the present invention. For example, the hydrogen of a methyl, methylene, or methine can be replaced with deuterium.

[0015] The compounds of the present invention can be administered in the form of prodrugs. A "prodrug" refers to a derivative that is converted into a biologically active compound under in vivo physiological conditions, for example, by oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis (each occurring with or without the involvement of enzymes). Examples of prodrugs include compounds of the present invention in which the amino group is acylated, alkylated, or phosphorylated, such as eicosanoylamino, alanylamino, and pivaloyloxymethylamino; compounds of the present invention in which the hydroxyl group is acylated, alkylated, or phosphorylated or converted to a borate group, such as acetoxy, palmitoyloxy, pivaloyloxy, succinyloxy, fumaroyloxy, and alanyloxy; compounds of the present invention in which the carbonyl group is esterified or amidated; and compounds of the present invention in which the thiol group forms a disulfide bridge with a carrier molecule, such as a peptide, that selectively delivers drugs to a target and / or the cytosol of a cell. Prodrugs can be prepared from the compounds of the present invention by known methods.

[0016] "Pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt made from a compound of the present invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable base or acid, including inorganic alkali or inorganic acids and organic bases or acids, provided that the compound of the present invention contains one or more acidic or basic groups. Compounds of the present invention containing an acidic group can exist in the form of a salt, such as an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth metal salt, or ammonium salt. For example, such salts include sodium salt, potassium salt, calcium salt, magnesium salt, or ammonia, or organic amine salts, such as salts of ethylamine, ethanolamine, triethanolamine, or amino acids. Compounds of the present invention containing a basic group can exist in the form of a salt, such as an inorganic acid salt or an organic acid salt. Examples of suitable acids include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, oxalic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, formic acid, propanoic acid, pivalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, pimelic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, sulfamic acid, phenylpropionic acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, isonicotinic acid, citric acid, adipic acid, and other acids known to those skilled in the art. When the compounds of the present invention contain acidic and basic groups in the molecule, the present invention also includes internal salts in addition to the salt form. Each salt can be obtained by conventional methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by mixing the compounds of the present invention with an organic or inorganic acid or base in a solvent or dispersant, or by anion or cation exchange with another salt.

[0017] A "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a composition comprising one or more compounds of the present invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, stable isotopic derivatives, isomers, prodrugs, and mixtures thereof, and other components such as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipients.

[0057] Example 3 BTK Activity Inhibition Assay The effects of the compounds of the present invention on BTK activity were evaluated by an in vitro kinase assay (Table 1).

[0058] The experimental method is summarized below: The enzyme activity of BTK was determined by detecting the level of substrate phosphorylation in the kinase reaction using a homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) kinase detection kit (Cisbio, catalog number 62TK0PEC). The reaction buffer contained the enzyme reaction buffer (1x) in the kit, 5 mM MgCl, 1 mM DTT, 10 nM SEB, and 0.01% Tween® 20. The kinase reaction solution contained human recombinant BTK protein (Carna Biosciences, catalog number 08-180) diluted to 0.2 ng / μL in the reaction buffer. The substrate reaction solution contained biotin-labeled tyrosine kinase substrate diluted to 0.5 μM in the reaction buffer and 40 μM ATP. The detection buffer contained Eu diluted to 0.05 ng / μL in the reaction buffer. 3+ The compounds were diluted to 100 μM in DMSO, followed by four serial dilutions in DMSO down to a minimum concentration of 6.1 nM, and a final 40-fold dilution in reaction buffer. 50 If the value is too low, reduce the initial concentration of the compound.

[0059] Add 4 μL of test compound solution and 2 μL of kinase reaction solution to a 384-well detection plate (Corning, catalog number 3674), mix thoroughly, and incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes; add 4 μL of substrate reaction solution and incubate for 50 minutes; add 10 μL of detection buffer, mix thoroughly, and leave for 60 minutes; and detect signals at 620 nm and 665 nm using an Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer). The signal value (absorbance at 665 nm / absorbance at 620 nm) positively correlates with the degree of substrate phosphorylation, thereby detecting the kinase activity of BTK. In this experiment, the group without BTK served as a negative control (100% inhibition), and the group containing BTK but no compound served as a positive control (0% inhibition). The inhibition curve was plotted, and the corresponding IC of the test compound was determined. 50Values ​​are calculated with XLfit software (ID Business Solutions Ltd., UK).

[0060] Example 4 BTK C481S Activity Inhibition Assay The effects of compounds of the present invention on BTK C481S activity were evaluated using an in vitro kinase assay (Table 1).

[0061] The experimental method is summarized below: The enzyme activity of BTK C481S was determined by detecting the level of substrate phosphorylation in the kinase reaction using a homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) kinase detection kit (Cisbio, catalog number 62TK0PEC). The reaction buffer contained the enzyme reaction buffer (1x) in the kit, 5 mM MgCl, 1 mM DTT, 10 nM SEB, and 0.01% Tween® 20; the kinase reaction solution contained human recombinant BTK C481S protein (purified in-house) diluted to 1.5 ng / μL in the reaction buffer; the substrate reaction solution contained biotin-labeled tyrosine kinase substrate diluted to 0.5 μM in the reaction buffer and 35 μM ATP; and the detection buffer contained Eu diluted to 0.05 ng / μL in the reaction buffer. 3+ The compounds were dissolved in DMSO and diluted to 100 μM, followed by four serial dilutions in DMSO down to a minimum concentration of 6.1 nM, and a final 40-fold dilution in reaction buffer. 50 If the value is too low, reduce the initial concentration of the compound.

[0062] Add 4 μL of test compound solution and 2 μL of kinase reaction solution to a 384-well detection plate (Corning, catalog number 3674), mix thoroughly, and incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes; add 4 μL of substrate reaction solution and incubate for 50 minutes; add 10 μL of detection buffer, mix thoroughly, and leave for 60 minutes; and detect signals at 620 nm and 665 nm using an Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer).

[0065] Example 5 Brain penetration activity test Compound A or B was orally administered at a dose of 5 mg / kg to 12 male Sprague Dawley rats in a 0.5 mg / mL solution of 5% N,N-dimethylacetamide, 10% solutol, and 85% saline. Plasma, brain tissue homogenate (to measure Kp, brain), and cerebrospinal fluid (to measure Kp, CSF) samples were collected (from three animals per time point) at 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours after administration.

[0066] Compound concentrations in plasma, brain tissue homogenate, and CSF were quantified by LC-MS / MS on an API-4500 mass spectrometer. The analytical limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 1 ng / mL. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated using WinNonlin with a non-compartmental approach. Kp, brain and Kp, CSF were calculated as AUC brain / AUC plasma and AUC CSF / AUC plasma, respectively. The results are shown in Table 2 and indicate that both Compounds A and B are non-brain-penetrating agents.
