Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] Related Applications This application claims the benefit of the filing date under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 928,062, filed October 30, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] Technical Field Provided are certain agents that inhibit Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), as well as methods for making and using such agents. [Background technology]

[0003] Protein kinases are a large, multigene family of over 500 proteins that play important roles in the development and treatment of numerous human diseases in oncology, neurology, and immunology. Tec kinases are non-receptor tyrosine kinases consisting of five members: Tec (a tyrosine kinase expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma), Btk (Bruton's tyrosine kinase), Itk (interleukin-2 (IL-2)-inducible T cell kinase; also known as Emt or Tsk), Rlk (resting lymphocyte kinase; also known as Txk), and Bmx (myeloid tyrosine kinase gene on chromosome X; also known as Etk). These kinases are primarily expressed in hematopoietic cells, although Bmx and Tec expression has been detected in endothelial cells and hepatocytes. Tec kinases (Itk, Rlk, and Tec) are expressed in T cells and are all activated downstream of the T cell receptor (TCR). Btk is a downstream mediator of B cell receptor (BCR) signaling, involved in regulating B cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation. More specifically, Btk contains a PH domain that binds phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 binding induces Btk to phosphorylate phospholipase C (PLCy), which then hydrolyzes PIP2 to generate two second messengers, inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), that activate the protein kinase PKC, thereby inducing further B cell signaling. Mutations that abolish Btk enzymatic activity cause XLA syndrome (X-linked agammaglobulinemia), a primary immunodeficiency syndrome. Given the important role Tec kinase plays in both B cell and T cell signaling, Tec kinase is an attractive target for autoimmune disorders.

[0004] Therefore, there is a great need in the art for effective inhibitors of Btk. Summary of the Invention

[0107] In vitro BTK kinase assay: Btk-PolyGAT-LS assay The purpose of the BTK in vitro assay is to detect IC 50The aim of this assay is to determine the potency of compounds against BTK through measurement of ATP. Compound inhibition is measured by monitoring the amount of phosphorylation of a fluorescein-labeled polyGAT peptide (Invitrogen PV3611) in the presence of active BTK enzyme (Upstate 14-552), ATP, and inhibitors. BTK kinase reactions were performed in black 96-well plates (Costar 3694). For a typical assay, a 24 pL aliquot of an ATP / peptide master mix (final concentrations: ATP 10 μM, polyGAT 100 nM) in kinase buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl, 200 μM NaPO, 5 mM DTT, 0.01% Triton X-100, and 0.2 mg / ml casein) is added to each well. Next, 1 pL of a 4x, 40x compound titration in 100% DMSO solvent is added, followed by 15 μL of BTK enzyme mixture in 1x kinase buffer (final concentration 0.25 nM). The assay is incubated for 30 minutes and then stopped with 28 pL of 50 mM EDTA solution. An aliquot (5 μL) of the kinase reaction is transferred to a low-volume white 384-well plate (Invitrogen 3674) and 5 pL of 2x detection buffer (Invitrogen PV3574, Invitrogen PV3552 with 4 nM Tb-PY20 antibody) is added. The plate is covered and incubated for 45 minutes at room temperature. Time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) (332 nm excitation, 488 nm emission, 518 nm fluorescein emission) is measured on a Molecular Devices M5 instrument. IC 50 Values ​​are calculated using a four parameter fit of 100% enzyme activity determined from the DMSO control and 0% activity from the EDTA control.

[0108] Table 2 shows the activity of selected exemplary compounds of the present invention in the in vitro Btk kinase assay, where each compound number corresponds to the compound numbering shown in Examples 1-4 herein. "†" indicates an IC greater than 1 μM and less than or equal to 10 μM. 50 "††" indicates an IC of greater than 10 nM and less than 1 μM. 50 (10nM <IC 50≤ 1 μM). "†††" indicates IC > 1 nM and ≤ 10 nM. 50 (1nM <IC 50 ≦10 nM). [Table 2]

[0109] In vitro whole blood CD69 assay Human heparinized venous blood from healthy donors was "spiked" into 96-well plates with serial dilutions of Formula I compounds in DMSO or drug-free DMSO. The final concentration of DMSO in all wells was 0.1%. Plates were incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. Drug-containing samples were stimulated with 0.1 μg / mL mouse anti-human IgD-dextran (1A62) or 20 μg / mL polyclonal rabbit F(ab')2 anti-human IgD. Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was added to negative control unstimulated samples, and plates were incubated overnight (18-22 hours) at 37°C. Cells were stained with fluorescent dye-conjugated anti-CD19 and anti-CD69 antibodies. Red blood cells were removed by hypotonic lysis using lysis / fixation solution, and the remaining cells were fixed and then analyzed by flow cytometry. CD19+ B cells were gated and analyzed for CD69 expression. The percentage of B cells expressing CD69 was plotted against the log10 of drug concentration and a best-fit curve (variable Hill slope) was generated to obtain IC50 values.
