Each of these documents is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides novel bifunctional compounds for proteolyzing the target Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) and methods for treating diseases regulated by BTK. [Background technology]

[0003] background

[0003] B cell receptor (BCR) signaling regulates B cell development and the activation, signaling, and survival of mature B cells. Misregulation of the BCR signaling pathway is associated with numerous disease manifestations involving B cell function, and targeting B cells and BCR signaling has clear therapeutic potential (Woyach, et al.; Blood. 120(6); 1175-1184. 2012). For example, depletion of B cells with monoclonal antibodies targeting CD20 has significant effects in the treatment of B cell malignancies and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (Cang, et al.; J Hematolo Oncol. 5; 64, 2012).

[0004] BTK is a member of the TEC family of kinases and a crucial signaling hub in the BCR pathway. Mutations in BTK cause X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), in which B cell maturation is impaired, resulting in reduced immunoglobulin production (Hendriks, et al.; Expert Opin Ther Targets 15; 1002-1021, 2011). BTK's central role in B cell signaling and function makes it an attractive therapeutic target for B cell malignancies and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Ibrutinib, a covalent inhibitor of BTK, has been approved for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and other B cell malignancies, as well as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) (Miklos, et al.; Blood. 120(21); 2243-2250, 2017). Ibrutinib and second-generation BTK inhibitors are currently being investigated for oncology and immune-related indications, such as rheumatoid arthritis (Akinleye, et al.; J of Hematolo Oncol. 6: 59, 2013; Liu, et al.; J Pharm and Exper Ther. 338(1): 154-163. 2011; Di Paolo, et al.; Nat Chem Biol. 7(1): 41-50. 2011).

[0005] As an alternative to stoichiometric inhibition, proteolysis of BTK can have dramatic consequences on B cell function by effectively blocking BCR signaling. Ablation of the BTK protein can eliminate BTK kinase activity as well as any protein interaction or scaffolding function of BTK. Specific degradation of BTK can be achieved by using heterobifunctional small molecules to recruit BTK to ubiquitin ligase, thereby promoting BTK ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Thalidomide derivatives, such as lenalidomide or pomalidomide, can be used to recruit potential substrates to cereblon (CRBN), a component of the ubiquitin ligase complex. This unique therapeutic approach utilizes chemical This may offer a mechanism of action for disrupting BTK activity and BCR signaling that is distinct from that of stoichiometric BTK inhibition. Furthermore, this degradation approach may effectively target the BTKC481S mutation, which has been observed clinically and confers resistance to ibrutinib inhibition (Woyach, et al.; Blood. 120(6): 1175-1184. 2012).

[0374] For this purpose, any bland fixed oil may be used, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. Fatty acids such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically acceptable oils such as olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated forms. These oil solutions or suspensions may also contain long-chain alcohol diluents or dispersants, such as carboxymethylcellulose or similar dispersants, which are commonly used in the formulation of pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms, including emulsions and suspensions. Other commonly used surfactants, such as Tweens, Spans, and pharmaceuticals, may also be used. Other emulsifiers or bioavailability enhancers commonly used in the manufacture of physiologically acceptable solid, liquid, or other dosage forms may also be used for the formulation.

[0375]

[0349] The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present invention can be orally administered in any orally acceptable dosage form, including, but not limited to, capsules, tablets, aqueous suspensions, or solutions. For tablets for oral use, commonly used carriers include lactose and cornstarch. Lubricants such as magnesium stearate are also usually added. For oral administration in capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dried cornstarch. When an aqueous suspension is required for oral use, the active ingredient is mixed with an emulsifying and suspending agent. If desired, certain sweeteners, flavorings, or colorings can also be added.

[0376] Alternatively, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present invention may be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration. These can be prepared by mixing the agent with a suitable non-irritating excipient that is solid at room temperature but liquid at rectal temperature, and therefore can melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or suppository waxes that are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature, and therefore can melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity to release the active compound.

[0377] The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present invention may also be administered topically, particularly when the target of treatment includes areas or organs readily accessible by topical application, including diseases of the eye, the skin, or the lower intestinal tract. Suitable topical formulations are readily prepared for each of these areas or organs.

[0378] Topical application for the lower intestinal tract may be effected in a rectal suppository formulation (see above) or in a suitable enema formulation. Topically-transdermal patches may also be used.

[0379] For topical application, the pharmaceutically acceptable composition can be formulated in a suitable ointment containing the active ingredient suspended or dissolved in one or more carriers. Carriers for topical administration of the compounds of the present invention include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, propylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene compounds, emulsifying wax, and water. Alternatively, the pharmaceutically acceptable composition can be formulated in a suitable lotion or cream containing the active ingredient suspended or dissolved in one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Suitable carriers include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60, cetyl esters wax, cetearyl alcohol, 2-octyldodecanol, benzyl alcohol, and water.

[0380] For ophthalmic use, pharmaceutically acceptable compositions may be prepared, for example, in an isotonic solution of 100 mg of ophthalmic solution, with or without preservatives, such as benzylalkonium chloride. The compositions may be formulated as a micronized suspension in pH-adjusted sterile saline or other aqueous solution, or preferably as a solution in isotonic, pH-adjusted sterile saline or other aqueous solution. Alternatively, for ophthalmic use, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions may be formulated in an ointment such as petrolatum. The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present invention may also be administered by nasal aerosol or inhalation. Such compositions are prepared according to techniques well known in the pharmaceutical formulation art and may be prepared as a solution in saline using benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption enhancers to enhance bioavailability, fluorocarbons, and / or other conventional solubilizers or dispersants.

[0381] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active compound, liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water or other solvents, solubilizers and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (especially cottonseed oil, peanut oil, corn oil, germ oil, olive oil, castor oil, and sesame oil), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. In addition to inert diluents, oral compositions may also contain adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweeteners, seasonings, and fragrances.

[0382]

[0356] Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions, can be formulated according to known techniques using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. Sterile injectable preparations can also be sterile injectable solutions, suspensions, or emulsions in non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluents or solvents, for example, solutions in 1,3-butanediol. Acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be used include water, Ringer's solution, USP, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. Additionally, sterile fixed oils are conventionally used as solvents or suspending media. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil can be used, including synthetic monoglycerides or diglycerides. Additionally, fatty acids such as oleic acid can be used in the preparation of injectables.

[0383]

[0357] Injectable preparations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium before use.

[0384] In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present invention, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound depends, in turn, on its rate of dissolution, which in turn depends on crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form can be accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsulated matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending on the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer used, the rate of compound release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.

[0385] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is dispersed in at least one inert pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier (e.g., sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate), and / or a) fillers or extenders (e.g., starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid), b) binders (e.g., carboxymethylcellulose, alginate, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia), c) humectants (e.g., glycerol), d) disintegrants (e.g., agar, calcium carbonate, , potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate), e) solution retarders (e.g., paraffin), f) absorption accelerators (e.g., quaternary ammonium compounds), g) wetting agents (e.g., cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents (e.g., kaolin and bentonite clay), and i) lubricants (e.g., 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 contain buffering agents.

[0386]

[0360] Solid compositions of a similar type may also be used as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using excipients such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols, etc. Solid dosage forms such as tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulation art. Solid dosage forms may optionally contain opacifying agents. These solid dosage forms can also be composed to release the active ingredient only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally with a delayed release. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be used as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using excipients such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols, etc.

[0387] The active compound may also be in microencapsulated form with one or more of the excipients described above. Solid dosage forms such as tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings, release-controlling coatings, and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulation art. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound may be mixed with at least one inert diluent, such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. These dosage forms may also contain, as is common practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, such as tableting lubricants and other tableting aids, such as magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also contain buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents, and may have compositions that release the active ingredient only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally with a delay. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

[0388] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of the present invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants, or patches. The active ingredient is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers, as required. Ophthalmic formulations, ear drops, and eye drops are also contemplated within the scope of the present invention. Additionally, the present invention contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of the compound into the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispersing the compound in a suitable medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate-controlling membrane or dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.

After 5 min, the cooling bath was removed and gas evolution was observed for 1 h. The mixture was cooled in an ice bath. Methyl iodide (11.7 mL, 26.7 g, 188 mmol) was added over 5 min. The cooling bath was allowed to expire. After stirring at room temperature for 16 h, the reaction was quenched with 75 mL of water. The layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine. The combined aqueous layer was extracted twice with DCM. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated. The resulting material was partitioned between acetonitrile and hexane. The acetonitrile layer was filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give tert-butyl (3R)-3-(3-methyl-2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (38.4 g, quantitative), which was used directly without further purification. LCMS: C 14 H 25 N3O3 theoretical value 283, measured value: m / z = 306 [M+Na] + .
