Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to compounds, compositions and methods for inhibiting Enhancer of Zeste Homolog (EZH2), Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), or a combination thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] Site-specific lysine methylation of histones is a key epigenetic mechanism in regulating and mediating many fundamental biological processes. Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) methylates histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) at genomic regions of target genes, thereby repressing gene transcription. PRC2 requires a minimum of three core subunits, including SUZ12 (suppressor of zeste12), EED (embryonic ectoderm development), and the catalytic subunits EZH1 or EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homolog 1 / 2). EZH1 and EZH2 are homologous proteins, and both can be integrated into PRC2, but they have different tissue and temporal distributions. In PRC2, EZH2 can directly bind the cofactor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and transfer methyl groups to histone H3K27 sites to form mono-, di-, and trimethylated lysines (H3K27me1, H3K27me2, and H3K27me3), thereby repressing gene transcription. PRC2-EZH2 has higher activity than PRC2-EZH1, which primarily catalyzes the formation of H3K27me1 and some H3K27me2. EED binds to H3K27me2 / 3 and allosterically activates the enzymatic activity of PRC2, which can promote the spreading of repressive marks.

[0003] EZH2 plays a crucial role in developmental and adult tissue homeostasis and is closely associated with many diseases. EZH2, SUZ12, and EED are overexpressed in many cancers, including but not limited to breast cancer, prostate cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. EZH2-activating mutations leading to increased H3K27me3 have been identified in patients with DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), FL (follicular lymphoma), melanoma, and parathyroid adenocarcinoma. Inhibition of PRC2 methyltransferase activity by compounds that compete with the cofactor SAM or directly bind EED in DLBCL reverses the elevated H3K27me3 state, reactivates target gene expression, and inhibits tumor growth / proliferation. Furthermore, EZH2 inhibitors can release the suppression of Th1 chemokines in tumor cells and enhance T cell infiltration in ovarian and colorectal cancer. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, EZH2 provides a pharmacological target for DLBCL and other cancers. In addition, EZH2 also plays an important role in autoimmune diseases and other disorders. In summary, there is a great need for small molecules that inhibit the activity of EZH2.

"Compounds of the invention" further includes N-oxide derivatives of such compounds.

[0099] Depending on the selection of starting materials and procedures, the compounds may exist in one of the possible stereoisomers or as a mixture thereof, e.g., as pure optical isomers or as stereoisomeric mixtures, such as racemic and diastereomeric mixtures, depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms. The present invention is intended to encompass all such possible stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures, diastereomeric mixtures, and optically pure forms. Optically active (R)- and (S)-stereoisomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents or resolved using conventional techniques. Substituents at atoms bearing unsaturated double bonds may, where possible, exist in cis- (Z)- or trans- (E)-form. If the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl, the cycloalkyl substituent may have a cis- or trans-configuration.

[0100] Any asymmetric atom (e.g., carbon, etc.) of the compounds of the present invention can be present in racemic or enantiomerically enriched, e.g., (R)-, (S)-, or (R,S)-configuration. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom is in the (R)- or (S)-configuration with at least 50% enantiomeric excess, at least 60% enantiomeric excess, at least 70% enantiomeric excess, at least 80% enantiomeric excess, at least 90% enantiomeric excess, at least 95% enantiomeric excess, or at least 99% enantiomeric excess.

[0102] Any resulting mixture of stereoisomers can be separated on the basis of the physical chemical differences of the components into pure or substantially pure geometric or optical isomers, diastereomers, racemates, for example, by chromatography and / or fractional crystallization.

[0103] Any resulting racemic forms of the compounds or intermediates of the present invention can be resolved into their optical antipodes by known methods, for example, by separation of their diastereomeric salts, which are obtained by liberating optically active acidic or basic compounds using optically active acids or bases. In particular, basic moieties can be used in this manner to resolve the compounds of the present invention into their optical antipodes by fractional crystallization of salts formed with optically active acids, such as tartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, di-O,O'-p-toluoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, or camphor-10-sulfonic acid.

[0148] [ka]

[0149] As depicted in Scheme 1, compounds of formula (I) can be prepared from a substitution reaction of the corresponding amine (INT-1) with an appropriately substituted 2-halo substituted pyrimidine or pyridine.

[0150] [ka]

[0151] As depicted in Scheme 2, reaction of amine INT-1 with an appropriate pyridine or pyrimidine halide provides the corresponding halo intermediate INT-2. Subsequent coupling of halo intermediate INT-2 with an appropriate bromide provides ester intermediate INT-3, which can be hydrolyzed to acid intermediate INT-4 under acidic or basic conditions. Compounds of formula (I) can be prepared by coupling acid intermediate INT-4 with an appropriately substituted amine.

[0178] EZH2 LC-MS assay Representative compounds of the present invention were serially and separately diluted 3-fold in DMSO to obtain 12 concentrations. Then, each concentration of test compound (120 nL each) was transferred to a 384-well Perkin Elmer ProxyPlate 384 Plus plate using a mosquito. A solution (6 μL) of 80 nM wild-type PRC2 (wtPRC2) complex and 60 μM SAM in reaction buffer (20 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 0.1% BSA, 0.01% Triton, 0.5 mM DTT) was added to the wells and then incubated with the test compound for 20 minutes. Each reaction was initiated by adding 6 μL of a solution of 3 μM substrate peptide H3K27me1 (histone H3[21-44]-K27me1-biotin) and 6 μM regulatory peptide H3K27me3 (histone H3[21-44]-K27me3) in reaction buffer. The final components of the reaction solution included 40 nM wtPRC2 complex, 30 μM SAM, 1.5 μM H3K27me1, and 3 μM H3K27me3 peptide, along with various concentrations of compounds. The positive control consisted of 40 nM enzyme, 30 μM SAM, 1.5 μM H3K27me1, and 3 μM H3K27me3 in the absence of test compound, while the negative control consisted of 30 μM SAM, 1.5 μM H3K27me1, and 3 μM H3K27me3 alone. Each reaction was incubated at room temperature for 120 minutes and then stopped by adding 3 μL of quenching solution (2.5% TFA with 320 nM d4-SAH). The reaction mixture was centrifuged (Eppendorf centrifuge 5810, rotor A-4-62) at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes and read on an API4000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with a Turbulon Spray (Applied Biosystems) coupled to a Prominence UFLC (Shimadzu Corporation). The level of SAH production was normalized based on the values ​​derived from the positive and negative controls to obtain percent enzyme activity. The data were fitted to a dose-response equation using the program Helios to obtain the IC of the test compound. 50 got the value.

[0179] ELISA (H3K27 methylation) assay Representative compounds of the present invention were serially and separately diluted 3-fold in DO to obtain a total of 8 or 12 concentrations. Compounds were then added to G401 cells cultured in 384-well plates at a 1:500 dilution to obtain a maximum concentration of 20 μM. Cells were further cultured for 48 hours before the ELISA procedure.

[0180] Histone extraction: Cells in 384-well plates were washed with PBS (10x PBS buffer (80 g NaCl (Sigma, S3014), 2 g KCl (Sigma, 60128), 14.4 g NaHPO (Sigma, S5136), 2.4 g KHPO (Sigma, P9791) in 1 L of water, to pH 7.4) and lysed by the addition of lysis buffer (0.4 N HCl; 45 μL per well). Plates were gently agitated for 30 min at 4 °C. Cell lysates were neutralized with neutralization buffer (0.5 M dibasic sodium phosphate, pH 12.5, 1 mM DTT; 36 μL per well). Prior to the ELISA protocol, plates were agitated to ensure the lysates were well mixed.

[0181] ELISA protocol: Cell lysates were transferred to wells of a 384-well plate and the final volume was adjusted to 50 μL per well with PBS. The plates were sealed, centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 2 minutes, and incubated at 4°C for approximately 16 hours. The plates were washed with TBST buffer (1x TBS (10x TBS: 24.2 g Tris (Sigma, T6066), 80 g NaCl (Sigma, S3014) in 1 L water, pH adjusted to 7.6 with HCl), plus 0.1% Tween-20). Blocking buffer (TBST, 5% BSA; 50 μL per well) was added, and the plates were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The blocking buffer was removed, and primary antibody was added (30 μL per well). The following dilutions were made in blocking buffer: anti-H3K27me3 antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, #9733) at a dilution of 1:1000, anti-H3K27me2 antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, #9288) at a dilution of 1:100, and anti-H3 antibody (Abcam, Cat. No. 24834) at a dilution of 1:1000. The primary antibodies were incubated in the plate at room temperature for 1 hour. The wells were washed with TBST and incubated with the secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 hour. The following dilutions were made in blocking buffer for the secondary antibodies: anti-rabbit antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, #111-035-003) at a dilution of 1:2000, and anti-mouse antibody (Cell signaling technology, #7076) at a dilution of 1:1000.

[0182] After 1 hour of incubation at room temperature, the wells were washed with TBST. ECL substrate (Pierce, #34080) was added at 30 μL per well, and the plate was centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 2 minutes. Signals were read using a PerkinElmer Envision reader. H3 signal was used to normalize H3K27 methylation readouts, and then percentage inhibition was calculated relative to the DO-treated sample. Data were fitted to a dose-response curve using the program Helios to determine the IC of test compounds. 50 got the value.

[0183] Analysis of cell proliferation B-cell lymphoma cells, KARPAS422, were cultured using standard cell culture conditions in RPMI-1640 (Invitrogen, Cat. No. 11875) supplemented with 15% FBS (Invitrogen, Cat. No. 10099-141) at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO. To assess the effect of PRC2 inhibition on cell proliferation, exponentially growing cells were cultured at 1 × 10 in 12-well plates (Corning, Cat. No. CLS3513). 5 Cells were seeded at a density of 1 × 10 cells / mL. After cell seeding, compounds of the present invention were added to the cell culture medium (at concentrations ranging from 0 to 100 μM, in a 3-fold dilution series). Viable cell numbers were determined using a Vi-CELL (Beckman Coulter) every 3-4 days for up to 14 days. Cell counting days were replenished with fresh growth medium and compounds, and cells were split to 1 × 10 cells / mL. 5 The cells were then returned to a density of 1000 cells / mL. Total cell numbers are expressed as aliquot-adjusted viable cells per mL. Prism was used to generate dose-response curves and IC 50 Generated a value.

[0184] The exemplified examples disclosed below were tested in the EZH2 LC and / or EZH2 ELISA assays described above and found to have EZH2 inhibitory activity.
