Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to compounds and pharmaceutical compositions, their preparation and use in the treatment of diseases or conditions, such as cancer, in particular ataxia telangiectasia and diseases or conditions (e.g., cancer) that depend on the activity of RAD3-related protein (ATR) kinase. [Background technology]

[0002] DNA damage occurs continuously within cells as a result of environmental insults, including ultraviolet light, X-rays, and endogenous stressors such as reactive oxygen species and base hydrolysis. Cancer cells frequently suffer from DNA damage, which is inherently induced by the high rate of DNA replication within the cell. Several DNA damage response (DDR) pathways have evolved in a highly systematic manner to aid in DNA damage repair and function as cellular checkpoints that halt replication of cells with damaged DNA, thereby allowing repair functions to occur before the damaged DNA is inherited by daughter cells. Each identified DNA repair pathway senses and repairs different but overlapping types of DNA damage.

[0003] One of the key DDR proteins that functions as a critical cell cycle checkpoint is the ataxia telangiectasia mutated and rad3-related (ATR) kinase, which is related to the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-related protein kinase (PIKK) family. ATR is activated by single-stranded (ss) DNA damage that occurs during stalled replication forks or nucleotide excision repair, but also by double-strand breaks following DNA end resection during homologous recombination. ATR, along with a cofactor called ATR-interacting protein (ATRIP), is recruited to DNA damage sites by binding to RPA proteins that coat ssDNA. The ATR / ATRIP complex is then activated by the recruitment of additional factors, the 9-1-1 complex (RAD9, RAD1, and HUS1). The 9-1-1 complex subsequently recruits the TOPBP1 protein, representing a critical step for the activation of downstream phosphorylation cascades that result in cell cycle arrest. The primary target of ATR kinase is CHK1, which, upon phosphorylation, targets both cdc25 protein and Wee1, leading to inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase activity and cell cycle arrest at S phase or G2 / M.

[0004] ATR is essential for cell division and has therefore been identified as an important cancer target. While ATR-deficient mice are embryonic lethal, adult mice with a conditional ATR knockout are viable due to its effects on rapidly proliferating tissues and stem cell populations. ATR-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells divide only once or twice before dying, suggesting that ATR is required for the maintenance of dividing cells. Interestingly, mice carrying a hypomorphic ATR mutation that reduces ATR expression to 10% of normal levels showed reduced H-rasG12D-induced tumor growth with minimal impact on proliferating normal cells, such as bone marrow or intestinal epithelial cells. Therefore, cancer cells with high levels of replication stress due to oncogenic mutations, dysfunctional G1 / S checkpoint control (e.g., loss of p53 function), defects in other DNA repair pathways (e.g., ATM), or defects affected by DNA-damaging agents (e.g., radiation therapy or chemotherapy) are more dependent on ATR for DNA repair and survival. Collectively, these results strengthen the rationale for the selective sensitivity of proliferating tumor cells to ATR inhibition and the possibility of a therapeutic window spanning healthy proliferating cells.

[0421] The method of the present invention may include a step of identifying a subject as a candidate for ATR inhibitor therapy. For example, a subject can be identified as a candidate for ATR inhibitor therapy by determining whether or not the subject has (i) a cancer associated with a defect in the ATM signaling cascade; (ii) a cancer, cancer cells, or cells with a genetically abnormal expression of a cancer-promoting gene or an oncogene; (iii) a cancer, cancer cells, or cells with one or more defects in a protein or gene involved in base excision repair; (iv) a cancer associated with a defect in a protein or gene involved in homologous recombination; (v) a cancer associated with a defect in a protein or gene involved in sensitivity to an ATR inhibitor or genetic perturbation of ATR; or (vi) a cancer associated with a gene or protein characteristic involved in sensitivity to an ATR inhibitor.

[0422] The compounds, compositions, and methods described can be used to treat subjects with cancers associated with abnormalities in the ATM signaling cascade. For example, abnormalities in the ATM signaling cascade can be, for example, alterations in the expression or activity of one or more of the following proteins / genes, including, but not limited to, ATM, p53, CHK2, MRE11, RAD50, NBS1, 53BP1, MDC1, H2AX, MCPH1 / BRIT1, CTIP, and SMC1. Abnormalities in ATM signaling can be identified as follows: A 20% or greater change in CHK2 phosphorylation can be indicative of abnormalities in the ATM signaling cascade. Alternatively, abrogation of cell arrest in the G1 and S phases of the cell cycle in response to double-stranded DNA breaks can be indicative of abnormalities in the ATM signaling cascade.

[0423] The compounds, compositions, and methods described can be used to treat subjects with cancer, cancer cells, or cells with aberrant expression of cancer-promoting proteins or oncogenes. For example, cancer cells may have genetic abnormalities that cause altered expression or activity of one or more of the following proteins / genes: KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, MYC, MOS, E2F, CDC25A, CDC4, CDK2, CCNE1, CCNA1, DNAPK, APOBEC3, CDC6, and RB1.

[0424] The compounds, compositions, and methods described can be used to treat subjects with cancer, cancer cells, or cells with one or more abnormalities in proteins or genes involved in base excision repair. For example, abnormalities in base excision repair proteins can be altered expression or activity of one or more of the following proteins / genes, including but not limited to: UNG, SMUG1, MBD4, TDG, OGG1, MYH, NTH1, MPG, NEIL1, NEIL2, NEIL3 (DNA glycosylase); APE1, APEX2 (AP endonuclease); LIG1, LIG3 (DNA ligase I and III); XRCC1 (LIG3 cofactor); PNK, PNKP (polynucleotide kinase and phosphatase); PARP1, PARP2 (poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase); PolB, PolG (polymerase); FEN1 (endonuclease) or aprataxin.

[0425] The described compounds, compositions, and methods can be used to treat subjects having cancer, cancer cells, or cells with one or more abnormalities in proteins or genes involved in homologous recombination. For example, the abnormality in homologous recombination can be an alteration in the expression or activity of one or more of the following proteins / genes, including, but not limited to, BRCA1, BRCA2, MRE11, RAD50, RAD51, RAD52, RAD54L, NBN, ATM, H2AX, PALB2, RPA, BRIP1, BARD1, ATR, ATRX, CHK1, CHK2, MDM2, MDM4, FANCA, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, and FANCL.

[0426] The described compounds, compositions, and methods can be used to treat subjects with cancer, cancer cells, or cells with one or more abnormalities in proteins or genes involved in sensitivity to ATR inhibitors or genetic perturbation of the ATR signaling pathway. For example, the abnormality in a gene involved in sensitivity to ATR inhibitors or genetic perturbation of ATR can be altered expression or activity of one or more of the following proteins / genes: ATR, CHK1, ERCC1, ERCC2, RAD17, RAD1, RAD9A, ERCC4, ATM, FANCE, GCP3, IDH1, PALB2, PMS2, ARID1A, SLX4, MSH4, RRM2, POLA, POLD1, RRM1, WEE1, CLSPN, PGBD5, XRCC1, XRCC3, XRCC5, KDM5D, CDC6, SLFN11, TLK1, and TLK2.

[0427] There are many methods known in the art for determining whether tumors have abnormalities in proteins or genes.For example, tumor samples can be subjected to sequencing of each designated gene (such as UNG, PARP1, or LIG1) either in genomic DNA or mRNA product to determine whether there are mutations that are predicted to regulate the function or expression of gene products.In addition to mutational inactivation, tumor cells can regulate genes by hypermethylating their promoter regions, thereby reducing gene expression.This is most commonly assessed using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which quantifies the methylation level of the promoter of the target base excision repair gene.Analysis of DNA repair gene promoter methylation is commercially available.

[0428] Gene expression levels can be assessed by directly quantifying the levels of each gene's mRNA and protein products using standard techniques, such as quantitative reverse transcriptase-linked polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), RNA-Seq gene expression analysis, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for protein expression. Gene amplification leading to aberrant protein overexpression or gene deletion leading to underexpression (respectively) can also be measured by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) analysis using probes specific for the gene of interest.

[0429] The above methods (gene sequence, promoter methylation, and mRNA expression) can also be used to characterize the status (e.g., expression or mutation) of other genes or proteins of interest, such as DNA-damaging oncogenes expressed in tumors or due to defects in cellular DNA repair pathways.

[0430] The described compounds, compositions, and methods can be used to treat subjects suffering from cancers with genetic traits that are associated with sensitivity to ATR inhibitors. In some embodiments, the genetic traits are one or more of the following: cellular transformation in the absence of HTERT and / or ATRX mRNA or protein expression; the presence of C-circle or partial double-stranded and circular extrachromosomal telomeric repeats (ECTRs); the presence of telomeres of different lengths; and cells with selective elongation of telomeres (ALT), characterized by positive staining indicating the presence of ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia (PML) nuclear bodies (APBs).

[0431] There are several methods for determining ALT characteristics in cells. Non-limiting examples of these methods include: HTERT and ATRX expression can be measured by Western blot, immunohistochemistry (IHC), or mRNA expression (qRT-PCR) assay. The presence of C-rings can be measured by PCR assay, and the presence of telomeres of different lengths can be measured by telomere restriction fragment analysis (TRF), which uses terminal restriction fragment length distribution to measure the heterogeneity of the telomere length range in a cell population. Staining for the presence of APB can be performed using IHC by co-staining with probes for telomeric DNA and PML protein.

Other exemplary excipients are described in Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 6th Edition, Rowe et al., Eds., Pharmaceutical Press (2009).

[0437] These pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared by conventional methods, for example, by conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, pulverizing, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilizing processes. Methods for preparing formulations well known in the art are described, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Ed., Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005), and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J. Swarbrick and J.C. Boylan, 1988-1999, Marcel Dekker, New York. Suitable formulations depend on the selected route of administration. The formulation and preparation of such compositions are well known to those skilled in the art of pharmaceutical formulation. When preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to an appropriate particle size before being combined with other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water-soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to, for example, about 40 mesh, allowing for a more uniform distribution in the formulation.

[0438] Dosage The dosage of the compound used in the methods described herein, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug, or pharmaceutical composition thereof, can vary depending on many factors, such as the pharmacodynamic properties of the compound; the method of administration; the recipient's age, health, and weight; the nature and severity of symptoms; the frequency of treatment, and, if applicable, the type of concurrent treatment; and the clearance rate of the compound in the treated animal. Those skilled in the art can determine the appropriate dosage based on the above factors. The compound used in the methods described herein is initially administered at an appropriate dosage, and the dosage can be adjusted as necessary depending on the clinical response. In general, an appropriate daily dose of the compound of the present invention is considered to be the amount of the compound that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally vary depending on the above factors.

[0439] The compounds of the present invention can be administered to a patient in a single dose or multiple doses. When multiple doses are administered, the doses can be separated from each other, for example, by 1 to 24 hours, 1 to 7 days, 1 to 4 weeks, or 1 to 12 months. The compounds can be administered according to a schedule or without a set schedule. The active compounds can be administered, for example, once, twice, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, or twelve times daily; every two, three, four, five, or six days; once, two, three, four, five, six, or seven times weekly; once, two, three, four, five, or six times monthly; or once, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, or 12 times yearly. It should be understood that specific dosage regimens for a particular subject will need to be adjusted over time according to the individual's needs and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions.

[0440] Although the appropriate amount and dosing regimen will ultimately be determined by the attending physician, an effective amount of a compound of the present invention can be, for example, a total daily dose, e.g., 0.05 mg to 3000 mg, of any of the compounds described herein. Alternatively, the dose can be calculated using the patient's body weight. Such dose ranges can include, for example, 10 to 1000 mg (e.g., 50 to 800 mg). In some embodiments, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, or 1000 mg of the compound is administered.

[0441] In the methods of the present invention, the duration over which multiple doses of a compound of the present invention are administered to a patient can vary. For example, in some embodiments, doses of a compound of the present invention are administered to a patient over a period of 1 to 7 days; 1 to 12 weeks; or 1 to 3 months. In some embodiments, the compound is administered to a patient over a period of, for example, 4 to 11 months or 1 to 30 years. In some embodiments, the compound is administered to a patient at the onset of symptoms. In any of these embodiments, the amount of compound administered can vary over the course of administration. If the compound is administered daily, it can be administered, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 times daily.

[0442] formulation Using any of the methods described herein, a compound identified as capable of treating any of the conditions described herein can be administered to a patient or animal in unit dosage form with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, carrier, or excipient. Chemical compounds for use in such therapy can be prepared and isolated by any standard techniques known to those skilled in the art of medicinal chemistry. Conventional pharmaceutical practice can be used to provide suitable formulations or compositions for administering the identified compound to a patient suffering from a disease or condition. Administration may begin before the patient exhibits symptoms.

[0443] Exemplary routes of administration of a compound (e.g., a compound of the present invention) or a pharmaceutical composition thereof used in the present invention include oral, sublingual, buccal, transdermal, intradermal, intramuscular, parenteral, intravenous, intraarterial, intracranial, subcutaneous, intraorbital, intraventricular, intraspinal, intraperitoneal, intranasal, inhalation, and topical administration. The compound is preferably administered with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutical formulations of the compounds described herein formulated for treating the disorders described herein are also part of the present invention.

[0444] Oral administration formulation Pharmaceutical compositions contemplated by the present invention include those formulated for oral administration ("oral dosage forms"), which may be in the form of, for example, tablets, capsules, liquid solutions or suspensions, powders, or liquid crystals or solid crystals, which contain the active ingredient(s) in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Such excipients may be, for example, inert diluents or fillers (e.g., sucrose, sorbitol, sugars, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, lactose, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, or sodium phosphate); granulating and disintegrating agents (e.g., cellulose derivatives including microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, croscarmellose sodium, alginates, or alginic acid); binders (e.g., sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, acacia, alginic acid, sodium alginate, gelatin, starch, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium aluminum silicate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or polyethylene glycol); and lubricants, glidants, and antiadherents (e.g., magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, stearic acid, silica, hydrogenated vegetable oil, or talc). Other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients can be colorants, flavoring agents, plasticizers, humectants, buffering agents, and the like.

[0445] Formulations for oral administration may also be present as chewable tablets, as hard gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent (e.g., potato starch, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, or kaolin), or as soft gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, such as peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil. Powders, granules, and pellets can be prepared using the ingredients described above for tablets and capsules in conventional manner, for example, using a mixer, fluidized bed apparatus, or spray-drying apparatus.

[0446] Controlled-release compositions for oral use can be constructed to release the active drug by controlling the dissolution and / or diffusion of the active drug substance. Achieving controlled release and a targeted plasma concentration versus time profile can be accomplished by any of several means. In one example, controlled release is achieved by appropriate selection of various formulation parameters and ingredients, including, for example, various types of controlled-release compositions and coatings. Examples include single- or multi-unit tablet or capsule compositions, oil solutions, suspensions, emulsions, microcapsules, microspheres, nanoparticles, patches, and liposomes. In some embodiments, the compositions include a biodegradable, pH-, and / or temperature-sensitive polymer coating.

[0447] Dissolution or diffusion controlled release can be achieved by suitable coating of tablets, capsules, pellets, or granules of the compound, or by incorporating the compound in a suitable matrix. Controlled release coatings can include one or more of the coating materials mentioned above and / or, for example, shellac, beeswax, glycowax, castor oil wax, carnauba wax, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl distearate, glycerol palmitostearate, ethyl cellulose, acrylic resin, dl-polylactic acid, cellulose acetate butyrate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, vinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene, polymethacrylate, methyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxymethacrylate, methacrylate hydrogel, 1,3 butylene glycol, ethylene glycol methacrylate, and / or polyethylene glycol. In controlled release matrix formulations, the matrix material may also include, for example, hydrated methylcellulose, carnauba wax and stearyl alcohol, carbopol 934, silicone, glyceryl tristearate, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and / or halogenated fluorocarbons.

[0449] Parenteral administration formulations The compounds described herein for use in the methods of the present invention can be administered in pharmaceutically acceptable parenteral (e.g., intravenous or intramuscular) formulations described herein. Pharmaceutical formulations can also be administered parenterally (intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, etc.) in dosage forms or formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and adjuvants. In particular, formulations suitable for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, and solutes that render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient, as well as aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions, which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. For example, to prepare such compositions, the compounds of the present invention can be dissolved or suspended in a parenterally acceptable liquid vehicle. Acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be used include water, water adjusted to an appropriate pH with an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, or a suitable buffer, 1,3-butanediol, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. Aqueous formulations can also contain one or more preservatives, such as methyl, ethyl, or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate.

[Example]

[0467] The following examples are intended to illustrate the present invention. They are not meant to limit the invention in any way. Example 1. Preparation of Compounds compound 1 Step 1. A suspension of 4-chloro-7-azaindole (25 g) in DMA (140 mL) was purged with vacuum / N2 gas (3 cycles). Next, zinc powder (1.07 g), zinc cyanide (11.26 g), dppf (2.72 g), and Pd2(dba)3 (2.39 g) were added. The mixture was again purged with vacuum / N2 gas (3 cycles) and heated to 120 °C for 4 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 100 °C, and water (428 mL) was added over 30 min. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature over 2 h. The crude product was filtered and washed with water (2 × 95 mL), then added to 3 N HCl (150 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Insoluble material was removed by filtration. 50% aqueous NaOH was added to the filtrate until a pH of 12 was reached. Filtration and drying gave 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carbonitrile (11.6 g) as a tan solid.

[0468] Step 2. A mixture of 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carbonitrile (10.4 g) and NaOH (29 g) in water (100 mL) and EtOH (100 mL) was heated to reflux for 18 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was treated with concentrated HCl to a pH of approximately 2. The solid was collected by filtration and dried under high vacuum to give 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (11.8 g) as a tan solid.

[0469] Step 3. To EtOH (120 mL) at 0°C was added thionyl chloride (12.4 mL) dropwise. After stirring the mixture at room temperature for 30 minutes, 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (12.0 g) was added, and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 8 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was suspended in water (150 mL), and the pH was adjusted to pH 9 with saturated aqueous K2CO3. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2 x 150 mL). The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness to give ethyl 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (10.5 g) as a tan solid.

[0470] Step 4. To a mixture of ethyl 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (9.5 g) in EtOAc (95 mL) was added mCPBA (15.5 g) portionwise at 0° C. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 3 hours. The precipitate was filtered and washed with EtOAc (3×30 mL), and the residue was dried under high vacuum to give 4-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine 7-oxide (8.8 g) as a pale yellow solid.

[0471] Step 5. To a solution of 4-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-7-oxide (25.5 g) in DMF (250 mL) was added methanesulfonyl chloride (11.5 mL) dropwise. The mixture was then heated to 80°C for 1 hour, cooled to room temperature, and additional methanesulfonyl chloride (11.5 mL) was added. The mixture was again heated at 80°C for 1 hour. After cooling to 0°C, the reaction mixture was poured into ice water (480 mL) with vigorous stirring. The mixture was then stirred at 0°C for 2 hours. The precipitate was filtered and washed with water (3 x 200 mL). The residue was dried under high vacuum to give ethyl 6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (25.0 g) as a beige solid, which was used in the subsequent step without further purification.

[0472] Step 6. To a solution of ethyl 6-chloro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (25 g) in DMF (250 mL) at 0 °C was added NaH (6.68 g) over 45 min, followed by stirring at 0 °C for 1 h. SEM-Cl (23.6 mL) was added over 20 min, and the mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 1 h. Water (300 mL) was added slowly, and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2 × 200 mL), then washed with brine, dried over MgSO, filtered, and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (15–30% EtOAc / hexanes) to give ethyl 6-chloro-1-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-4-carboxylate (32.4 g) as an orange oil.

[0473] Step 7.
