Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention provides bicyclic compounds, such as 7-oxo-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-4(7H)-yl) compounds and analogs and derivatives thereof, their use to inhibit Werner syndrome RecQ DNA helicase (WRN), and methods of using such compounds to treat disease, particularly in the treatment of cancer, particularly cancers characterized by microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR), including colorectal, gastric, and endometrial cancers. The invention also provides uses of such compounds as research chemicals, intermediate compounds, combinations, processes, and formulations. [Background technology]

[0002] Loss of DNA mismatch repair function is a common initiating event in cancer development, occurring in 10-30% of colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, and gastric cancers (Aaltonen, LA et al. Clues to the pathogenesis of familial colorectal cancer, Science 260, 812-816 (1993); Bonneville R et al., Landscape of Microsatellite Instability Across 39 Cancer Types. JCO Precis Oncol. 1:PO.17.00073 (2017). Cancers that have lost their mismatch repair (MMR) capacity have a high mutational burden and frequent deletion and insertion events in repetitive DNA tracts, a phenotype known as microsatellite instability (MSI). Advances in the treatment of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) cancers have been made, with pembrolizumab (anti-PD1) recently approved as a first-line treatment for MSI-H-dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer after demonstrating significantly longer progression-free survival compared with chemotherapy. However, significant unmet medical needs remain in CRC and other MSI-H indications (Andre T., et al. Pembrolizumab in Microsatellite-Instability-High Advanced Colorectal Cancer. N Engl J Med;383(23):2207-2218(2020)).Several large-scale functional genomics screens across a large panel of cell lines, including Novartis, using 398 cell lines from the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) (McDonald ER et al., Project DRIVE: A Compendium of Cancer Dependencies and Synthetic Lethal Relationships Uncovered by Large-Scale, Deep RNAi Screening. Cell 170(3):577-592 (2017)), identified the Werner syndrome RecQ helicase (WRN) as being selectively required for the survival of cell lines with defective mismatch repair function that became MSI-H (Behan, FM et al., Prioritization of cancer therapeutic targets using CRISPR-Cas9 screens. Nature 568, 511-516 (2019); Chan, EM et al., WRN helicase is a synthetic lethal target in microsatellite unstable cancers. Nature 568, 551-556 (2019), Kategaya, L., Perumal, SK, Hager, JH & Belmont, LD. Werner syndrome helicase is required for the survival of cancer cells with microsatellite instability. iScience 13, 488-497 (2019), Lieb, S. et al. Werner syndrome helicase is a selective vulnerability of microsatellite instability-high tumor cells. eLife8, e43333 (2019). WRN is synthetically lethal in MSI cancers. Depletion of WRN has antiproliferative effects, resulting in activation of multiple DNA damage signaling markers, induction of cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis in MMR cancer models but not in cancer cells with an intact MMR pathway.These findings indicate that WRN provides DNA repair and maintenance functions essential for cell survival in MSI cancers. Recently, the mechanism of WRN dependence has been elucidated. Dinucleotide TA repeats have been shown to be selectively unstable and undergo large-scale expansions in MSI cells. These expanded TA repeats form secondary DNA structures that require WRN helicase for unwinding (van Wietmarschen, N. et al. Repeat expansions confer WRN dependence in microsatellite-unstable cancers. Nature 586, 292-298, 2020). In the absence of WRN (or when WRN helicase is inhibited), expanded TA repeats in MSI cells undergo nuclease cleavage and chromosome breakage. Therefore, inhibiting WRN helicase is an attractive strategy for treating mismatch repair-deficient cancers. Summary of the Invention

[0309] Mannitol, croscarmellose sodium, colloidal silicon dioxide, and sodium stearyl fumarate were added to the Example 42 compound powder obtained in Part A above, and the mixture was blended and then compressed into tablets. The coating agent was dispersed in water to obtain a uniform suspension, which was used to coat the tablets.

[0310] Biological Assays and Data The activity of the compounds according to the invention can be assessed by the following in vitro and in vivo methods.

[0311] Materials and Methods Molecular biology and virus production. DNA encoding human Werner helicase (UniProt Q14191, WRN, amino acids S2-S1432) was engineered as four codon-optimized DNA strings for expression in E. coli. Strings were ordered from GeneArt (LifeTechnologies, Regensburg, Germany) or prepared by subcloning overlapping oligonucleotides.

[0312] Baculovirus from expression plasmid pLAF1202 (SEQ ID NO: 1) encoding His-ZZ-3C-WRN (aa N517-P1238, encoded by nucleotides 578-2743 in the sequence) was generated for transfection using the FlashBac Ultra system (Oxford Expression Technologies 100302) with 540 ng of plasmid DNA, 5.4 μg of FlashBac Ultra DNA, and 5.4 microliters of Lipofectin (Life Technologies 18292-011) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After 5 hours of incubation, the solution was diluted with 500 microliters of TC100 medium (Life Technologies 13055-025) and incubated at 27°C for 7 days.

[0313] Cells were harvested by centrifugation at 800 × g for 10 minutes, and the virus-containing supernatant was transferred to a new sterile tube. For initial viral amplification, 500 microliters of virus was added to 25 mL of SF9 cells at 1 million cells / mL and incubated at 27°C (200 rpm) for 5 days. Cell viability, density, and diameter were measured, and virus showing signs of infection was harvested by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes.

[0314] Baculovirus-infected insect cells (BIIC) were generated as described in Wasilko et al, 2009, DOI:10.1016 / j.pep.2009.01.002. Briefly, 100 million SF9 cells (1 million cells / mL) in 100 mL of ESF921 medium (Expression System-96-001-01, supplemented with 0.5x streptomycin / penicillin) were infected with 300 million baculovirus particles of each construct (estimated MOI = 3) in an Erlenmeyer flask and incubated at 27°C and 130 rpm for 24 h. Infected cells were transferred to a 50 mL tube and harvested by centrifugation at 100 x g for 10 min at RT.

[0315] Cells were resuspended at 10 million / mL in ESF921 (0.5x streptomycin / penicillin) medium containing BSA (final 10 mg / mL) and 10% DMSO. 500 μL aliquots of cells were transferred to 1.8 mL cryotubes and frozen overnight at -80°C in a Nunc Cryo 1°C freezing container.

[0316] SEQ ID NO: 1 [ka] [ka] [ka]

[0317] Protein expression and purification A BIIC aliquot for the Werner helicase protein His-ZZ-3C-WRN (aa N517-P1238, pLAF1202) was diluted 1 / 100 in ESF921 medium and further diluted 1 / 100 into an expression / production flask containing Sf21 cells (1 million cells / mL) in 1 L of ESF921 medium and incubated for 96 hours (27°C, 130 rpm) for protein expression.

[0318] WRN protein was purified using the following protocol. Cell pellets were thawed and resuspended in 80 mL of buffer A (50 mM Tris, 300 mM NaCl, 20 mM imidazole, 1 mM TCEP, 10% glycerol, pH 7.8) supplemented with Turbonuclease (final concentration 40 units / mL, Merck) and cOmplete protease inhibitor tablets (1 tablet / 50 mL, Roche). Cells were lysed by passing three times through a homogenizer (Avestin, Emulsiflex C3) at 800-1000 bar. The lysed sample was centrifuged at 48,000 × g for 40 min (Sorvall RC5B, SS-34 rotor), and the supernatant was passed through a 0.45 μm filter.

[0319] The lysate was loaded onto a 5 mL HisTrap crude FF column (GE Healthcare) attached to an AeKTA Pure 25 chromatography system (GE Healthcare). Contaminating proteins were washed off with buffer A, and bound proteins were eluted with a linear gradient over 10 column volumes to 100% buffer B (50 mM Tris, 300 mM NaCl, 300 mM imidazole, 1 mM TCEP, 10% glycerol, pH 7.8). 1% (w / w) HRV 3C protease (His-MBP tagged, produced in-house) was added to the eluted protein. The N-terminal purification tag was cleaved by the protease during overnight dialysis against 2 L of buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, 10% glycerol, 0.02% CHAPS) at 5 °C. The protein solution was then carefully diluted by adding two volumes of 20 mM Tris pH 7.0, 10% glycerol, and 0.02% CHAPS. The slightly turbid protein solution was passed through a 0.45 μm filter. The cleaved protein was loaded onto a Resource S 6 mL column (GE Healthcare) pre-equilibrated with 20 mM Tris, 20 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, and 10% glycerol, pH 7.0. The cleaved tag and contaminating proteins were washed away with equilibration buffer. The bound target protein was eluted with a linear gradient of the same buffer containing 1 M sodium chloride over 20 column volumes and then injected onto a HiLoad 16 / 600 Superdex 75 pg column (GE Healthcare) pre-equilibrated with 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 300 mM NaCl, and 10% glycerol. Fractions containing pure protein were identified by SDS-PAGE and pooled. The purified protein was finally divided into aliquots and frozen on dry ice. Protein purity, quantity, and identity were determined by RP-HPLC and LC-MS.

[0320] In vitro enzyme activity assay for WRN helicase An ATPase assay was set up to measure the DNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis activity of WRN helicase, and this assay was also used to evaluate the inhibitory properties of the compounds of the present invention against DNA-dependent WRN ATPase activity.

[0321] The core helicase motif of the WRN protein (aa N517-P1238) was generated for this assay (protein was generated as described above). The 45-nucleotide oligonucleotide sequence (TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTCCAAGTAAAACGACGGCCAGTGC; SEQ ID NO: 2) designated "FLAP26," described in Brosh et al., 2009, DOI: 10.1074 / jbc.M111446200, was purchased from IDT (Integrated DNA Technologies, Leuven, Belgium) and used as the signal-strand DNA substrate. The ADP-Glo ​​assay kit (Promega, Madison, WI), which allows for quantification of ADP generated in the ATP hydrolysis reaction, was used to set up this assay.

[0322] A time course experiment was first performed to determine the best enzyme assay conditions (including buffer conditions, reaction time, and concentrations of protein, ATP, and DNA substrate). A typical reaction consisted of 10 nM WRN protein, 0.2 nM FLAP26, and 300 micromolar ATP in the following assay buffer: 30 mM Tris pH 7.5, 2 mM MgCl, 0.02% BSA, 50 mM NaCl, 0.1% pluronic F127 (prepared in DNAse-free water).

[0323] To evaluate the inhibitory properties of compounds of the present invention, serial dilutions were prepared in DMSO (10 half-log dilutions from a 10 mM DMSO solution). Fifty nanoliters of each concentration was preincubated for 3 hours in assay buffer containing 600 micromolar ATP in a 384-well small-volume assay plate (Greiner #784075) containing 2.5 microliters of 20 nM WRN helicase protein. Control wells included a "high control" (no inhibition) containing DMSO without test compound and a "low control" (maximum inhibition) containing buffer without protein. The reaction was initiated by the addition of 2.5 microliters of FLAP26 at 0.4 nM and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 5 microliters of the first ADP-Glo ​​reagent and incubated for 1 hour to remove excess ATP. Subsequently, 10 microliters of ATP detection reagent was added and incubated for an additional hour before reading. Luminescence output was recorded using a Tecan 1000 reader with a 5-minute delay before reading. Each concentration of compound was tested in duplicate on the assay plate.

[0324] Data analysis was performed using in-house developed software (Novartis Helios software application, Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, unpublished) using the method described by Formenko et al., 2006, DOI: 10.1016 / j.cmpb.2006.01.008. After normalizing well activity values ​​to % inhibition (% inhibition = [(high control - sample) / (high control - low control)] x 100), IC values ​​were calculated from duplicate measurements on each plate according to [4]. 50 Data analysis was also performed using a four-parameter fit (e.g., GraphPad Prism, XLfit) to determine the IC 50 This can be done using commercially available software designed to derive the reported IC values. 50 Values ​​are the geometric means of at least two independent replicates.

[0325] Methods for detecting effects on cell proliferation The colon cancer cell lines SW48 (RRID: CVCL_1724), HCT116 (RRID: CVCL_0291), and SNU-407 (RRID: CVCL_5058) were obtained from ATCC. The WRN knockdown-insensitive colon cancer cell line DLD-1 (RRID: CVCL_0248) was obtained from the Korean Cell Line Bank (KCLB) and used to generate derivatives in which the endogenous WRN gene copy was knocked out by CRISPR-mediated editing using standard CRISPR methods. The resulting cell line, DLD1-WRN-KO, was used to evaluate potential off-target compound effects.

[0326] SW48, SNU-407, and DLD1-WRN-KO cells were cultured in growth medium consisting of RPMI-1640 (Amimed catalog no. 1-41F22-I), 2 mM L-glutamine (Amimed catalog no. 5-10K50), 10 mM HEPES (Gibco catalog no. 15630-056), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Amimed catalog no. 5-60F00-H), 1× penicillin-streptomycin (Amimed catalog no. 4-01F00-H), and 10% fetal bovine serum (Amimed catalog no. 2-01F30-G, lot no. LB11566P). HCT 116 cells were cultured in growth medium consisting of McCoys 5A (Amimed catalog number 1-18F01-I), 2 mM L-glutamine (Amimed catalog number 5-10K50), 1x penicillin-streptomycin (Amimed catalog number 4-01F00-H), and 10% fetal bovine serum (Amimed catalog number 2-01F30-G, lot number LB11566P). All cells were maintained at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator.

[0327] After filtration through a Steriflip-NY 20 μm filter (Millipore catalog no. SCNY00020), trypsinized cells were seeded into white, clear-bottom 96-well plates (Costar catalog no. 3903) at 2,000 (SW48) or 1,500 (SNU-407, DLD1-WRN-KO, HCT 116) cells / well in 100 microliters of growth medium. Three replicate plates were prepared for each compound treatment condition. Additionally, one plate (designated "day 0") was prepared for quantitating viable cell numbers at the time of compound addition. After overnight incubation at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere, eight three-fold serial dilutions of a given compound stock (obtained at a concentration of 10 mM in DMSO and stored at 4°C) were dispensed directly into each of the triplicate assay plates using an HP 300D non-contact digital dispenser (TECAN). The final concentration of DMSO was normalized to 0.1% in all wells. Ninety-six hours after compound addition, cellular ATP levels, as a surrogate for cell viability, were assessed after the addition of 50 microliters of CellTiterGlo (Promega catalog number G7573) reagent, and luminescence was quantified on an MPLEX multimode plate reader (TECAN) after a 10-minute incubation at room temperature. The number of viable cells in the "day 0" plate was similarly quantified on the day of compound addition.

[0328] For data analysis, the assay background signal determined in wells containing medium but no cells was subtracted from all data points before further calculations. The degree of growth inhibition and potential cell death were evaluated by comparing the ATP levels (measured using CellTiterGlo, Promega) in compound-treated cells to those present at the time of compound addition. For this purpose, the following conditional concepts were programmatically applied in HELIOS. HELIOS is in-house software that applies a multi-stage decision tree to reach the optimal concentration-response curve fit (Gubler et al, SLAS DOI: 10.1177 / 2472555217752140), and calculates the growth % (G%) of each well treated with a compound: G% = ((T - V0) / V0)) * 100 (when T < V0), G% = ((T - V0) / (V - V0)))*100 (when T ≥ V0) (where V0 is the survival level at the time of compound addition, and V and T are the vehicle control survival level and compound-treated survival level, respectively, at the end of compound incubation). 100%, 0%, and -100% indicate, respectively, the absence of growth inhibition, growth arrest, and complete cell death. The compound concentration (GI50) that results in 50% growth inhibition and the residual cell survival rate (data (cmax), expressed as a percentage) at the highest concentration of the test compound were routinely calculated. Data analysis can also be performed using commercially available software designed to derive IC50 values using a 4-parameter fit (e.g., GraphPad Prism, XL Fit). The reported GI 50 values are the geometric mean of at least two independent replicates.

[0329] In Vivo Demonstration of the Efficacy of the Compounds of the Invention Experiments were performed on female Crl:NU(NCr)-Foxn1NU-homozygous nude mice (Charles River). Animals were housed in Allentown XJ cages (IVC, maximum 6 mice per cage) under optimized hygienic conditions, with food and water ad libitum and a 12-h light:dark cycle. Animals were allowed to acclimate for at least 1 week before enrollment in the experimental design. The studies described herein were conducted in accordance with License 2275 approved by the Basel Cantonal Veterinary Office.

[0330] SW48 human colon cancer cells were obtained from ATCC. Cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (BioConcept, Amimed, #1-41F01-I) supplemented with 10% FCS (BioConcept, #2-01F30-I), 2 mM L-glutamine (BioConcept Ltd., Amimed, #5-10K50-H), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (BioConcept #5-60F00-H), and 10 mM HEPES (BioConcept #5-31F00-H) at 37°C in a 5% CO atmosphere. To establish SW48 xenografts, cells were harvested and resuspended in HBSS (Gibco, #14175). 100 μL of 5 million cells were injected subcutaneously into the right flank of isoflurane-anesthetized animals.

[0331] Tumor growth was monitored periodically after cell inoculation, and when tumor volume reached an appropriate volume, animals were randomized into treatment groups (n=7). Tumor volume was measured approximately twice a week during the treatment period. Tumor size (mm 3 ) was calculated from ((L × W × π / 6), where W = tumor width and L = tumor length.

[0332] Depending on the target concentration, 50–200 mg of amorphous sodium salt of the test compound (corrected for salinity) was dissolved in 8 mL of a 10% w / v aqueous solution of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD). The pH was adjusted to pH 7.4 with 0.1 M HCl (approximately 1 equivalent), and the resulting solution was filled to a total volume of 10 mL with 10% aqueous HPBCD. If cloudy, the solution was filtered. The resulting solution formulation was used for in vivo studies.

[0333] Tumor-bearing animals were screened until their tumors reached 186 mm 3 When tumors reached an adequate size to form groups with a mean tumor volume of 100 mg / kg, they were enrolled into treatment groups (n=7). Animals were then treated with vehicle (10% hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin) or a compound of the invention at 240 mg / kg QD by oral gavage at 20 mL / kg. Animals were weighed twice weekly and frequently examined for overt signs of adverse effects.

[0334] Tumor and body weight change data were statistically analyzed using GraphPad Prism 7.00 (GraphPad Software). If the data variance was normally distributed, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's post-hoc test was used to analyze data for comparisons between treatment and control groups. Where applicable, results are presented as mean ± SEM.

[0335] As a measure of efficacy, %T / C% values ​​are calculated at the end of the experiment according to the following: (Δtumor volume 処置 / Δtumor volume 対照 )*100 Tumor regression was calculated as follows: -(Δtumor volume 処置 / Δtumor volume 処置開始時 )*100. Here, Δtumor volume indicates (mean tumor volume on the day of evaluation)−(mean tumor volume at the start of the experiment).

[0336] Treatment was performed, for example, on tumors with a mean tumor volume of 186 mm3 In the case of 10% hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin in water, QD oral administration was initiated at 240 mg / kg. The treatment period with Example 58 was 18 days, after which overall efficacy and tolerability were assessed based on tumor volume and body weight changes observed during the treatment period (Figure 6). Orally administered Example 58 at 240 mg / kg qd induced an antitumor response against SW48 xenografts in nude mice (Figure 6). The T / C% value on day 18 was -9 (p=<0.05 compared to vehicle control, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's post-hoc test). The mean tumor volume on day 18 in 4 / 7 surviving animals showed a regression of -26%. Based on body weight, QD administration of Example 58 at 240 mg / kg was well tolerated (Figure 6). Data for compounds of Examples 42, 96 and 57 are shown in Figures 9, 10 and 11, respectively.

[0342] Data are geometric means from at least duplicate determinations.

[0343] In another aspect, the present invention provides compounds of formula (I) for use in the treatment of cancer or as research chemicals, such as chemical probes, where some of the WRN inhibitory activity is via a mechanism not assessed by the biochemical assays described above.

[0344] Methods for detecting clonogenic effects on cell proliferation (CFA = colony formation assay) Cell lines were obtained from ATCC, and media and culture conditions were used as recommended by ATCC. All cells were maintained at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator. Cells were seeded in 12-well plates at 250–2,000 cells per well in 1 ml of media. The WRN inhibitor compound from Example 42 was added at a starting concentration of 10 μM. After overnight incubation at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere, 10 three-fold serial dilutions of a given compound stock (obtained at a concentration of 10 mM in DMSO and stored at 4°C) were dispensed directly into each assay plate using an HP 300D non-contact digital dispenser (TECAN). The final DMSO concentration was normalized to 0.1% in all wells. Cells were left in the incubator for 8–20 days, with media changes every 3–4 days. After this, 100 μl of 37% formaldehyde was added directly to each test well and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. After rinsing twice with 5 ml of water, 0.5 ml of 0.05% methylene blue was added for 20 minutes at room temperature. The wells were rinsed three times with water, and 1 ml of 3% HCl was added to the plate and shaken until the color was completely dissolved. 200 μl of this solution was transferred to a 96-well plate, and absorbance was measured at 650 nM using a microtiter plate reader (Synergy HT). The compound concentration resulting in 50% growth inhibition (GI50) was calculated using XLfit with Dose Response One Site Model 201: fit = (A + ((BA) / (1 + ((x / C)^D)))). For non-adherent cell lines, cellular ATP levels, as a surrogate for cell viability, were assessed after removing 600 μl and adding 200 μl of CellTiterGlo (Promega Cat. No. G7573) reagent to the cultures. Luminescence quantification was performed on a Synergy HT plate reader after a 15-minute incubation at room temperature. Data were analyzed similarly to methylene blue staining. Results are shown in Figure 8.

[0411] Preparation of compounds The following examples are intended to illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting it. Temperatures are given in degrees Celsius. Unless otherwise indicated, all evaporations are carried out under reduced pressure, typically between about 15 mmHg and 100 mmHg (= 20 to 133 mbar). Abbreviations used are those commonly used in the art.

[0412] All starting materials, building blocks, reagents, acids, bases, dehydrating agents, solvents, and catalysts utilized to synthesize the compounds of the present invention are either commercially available or can be prepared by organic synthesis methods known to those skilled in the art. Additionally, the compounds of the present invention can be prepared by organic synthesis methods known to those skilled in the art, as shown in the examples below.

[0413] The structures of final products, intermediates, and starting materials are confirmed by standard analytical spectroscopic characteristics, such as MS, IR, or NMR. The absolute stereochemistry of specific isomers has been determined by analysis of the X-ray crystal structure of a complex of the respective compound bound to WRN or by the small molecule X-ray crystal structure of a precursor to the final compound. Amines synthesized by acidic deprotection of the Boc precursor were often obtained as HCl or TFA salts. The corresponding free bases can be isolated by partitioning between DCM and saturated aqueous NaHCO3, as described for intermediate Y.

[0414] General conditions: Mass spectra were acquired on LC-MS systems using electrospray, chemical, or electron impact ionization from various instruments configured as follows: a Waters Acquity UPLC equipped with a Waters SQ detector, a Shimadzu NEXERA UPLC PDA equipped with a Shimadzu LCMS 2020 as the MSD, an Agilent 1200 HPLC PDA equipped with an AB Sciex API 2000 TQ as the MSD, and an Agilent 1200 HPLC PDA equipped with an AB Sciex API 3200 QTRAP as the MSD. [M+H] + refers to the protonated molecular ion of a chemical species. NMR spectra were performed using Bruker Ultrashield™ 400 (400 MHz), Bruker Ultrashield™ 400 Plus (400 MHz), Bruker Ultrashield™ 600 (600 MHz), and Bruker Ascend™ 400 (400 MHz) spectrometers, all with and without tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. Chemical shifts (d values) are reported in ppm downfield from tetramethylsilane, and spectral splitting patterns are designated as singlets (s), doublets (d), triplets (t), multiplets, unresolved or further overlapping signals (m), or broad signals (br). Solvents are indicated in parentheses.

[0418] [Table 8]

[0419] Sodium salt formation: The compound was suspended in tert-butanol. 0.1M NaOH (1 equivalent) was added. The mixture was stirred / sonicated overnight at room temperature. If the suspension turned into a clear solution, it was freeze-dried. If the suspension was still cloudy, water was added and the resulting solution was freeze-dried. If no change occurred, 0.1M NaOH was added up to a total of 2 equivalents until a clear solution was observed, which was then freeze-dried. If the NMR of the resulting solid still contained tert-butanol, the solid was dissolved in a small amount of water and freeze-dried again. The final sodium salt was obtained as a colorless powder. Its amorphous state was confirmed by XRPD.
