Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to novel bicyclic compounds. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel bicyclic compounds having Notch inhibitory activity. [Background technology]

[0002] Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that plays an essential role in mammalian development and tissue homeostasis. Notch receptors and ligands have a single transmembrane domain and are expressed on the cell surface. Therefore, Notch signaling is particularly important in mediating communication between neighboring cells expressing the receptor and ligand. Four Notch receptors, designated Notch1 through Notch4, are known in rodents and humans. Notch receptors are heterodimeric proteins consisting of an extracellular domain and an intracellular domain and are initially synthesized as a single polypeptide. Receptor-ligand interaction triggers a series of proteolytic cleavages of the Notch receptor polypeptide, involving γ-secretase activity. γ-secretase activity cleaves the intracellular domain of Notch from the inner plasma membrane, translocates it to the nucleus, and forms a transcription factor complex. The Notch intracellular domain (NICD) is the active form of the protein. Notch signaling functions include proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, migration, and self-renewal (Non-Patent Documents 1-3).

[0003] NICD also translocates into the nucleus and forms stable complexes with the DNA-binding proteins RBP-J and MAML, thereby activating the transcription of target genes Hes1 and Hes5.

[0004] Therefore, compounds that can inhibit various Notch signaling functions may be useful pharmaceuticals for various diseases associated with those functions. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

"Monocyclic heterocycle" refers to a monocyclic aromatic or non-aromatic ring in which at least one ring atom is a heteroatom (preferably S, N, or O), and the remaining ring atoms are carbon. Nitrogen atoms may optionally be quaternized, and sulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized.

[0059] "Isomers" means any compounds that have identical molecular formulae but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or in the arrangement of their atoms in space. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are called "stereoisomers." Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are called "diastereomers," and stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images are called "enantiomers," or sometimes "optical isomers." A carbon atom bonded to four different substituents is called a "chiral center." A compound with one chiral center has two enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality. A mixture of two enantiomeric forms is called a "racemic mixture." A compound with more than one chiral center has two n-1The compound has enantiomeric pairs (where n is the number of chiral centers). Compounds with more than one chiral center can exist as individual diastereomers or as a mixture of diastereomers (called a "diastereomeric mixture"). When one chiral center is present, a stereoisomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of that chiral center. Absolute configuration refers to the spatial arrangement of the substituents attached to the chiral center. Enantiomers are characterized by the absolute configuration of their chiral centers and are described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn, Ingold, and Prelog. Conventions regarding stereochemical nomenclature, methods for determining stereochemistry, and methods for separating stereoisomers are well known in the art (see, for example, "Advanced Organic Chemistry," 4th edition, March, Jerry, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1992). The compounds of the present invention can include these isomers.

[0191] In another embodiment, there is a method for treating various diseases by administering the compounds of the present invention. The compounds of the present invention can be used to prevent or treat diseases regulated by the Notch signaling pathway.

[0192] In one embodiment, screening for inhibitory effects on the Notch signaling pathway is carried out using a doxycycline-inducible lentiviral vector (see Examples for specific procedures).

[0193] Here, the test compound is a compound described herein, i.e., a compound of the present invention. Typically, the test compound can be tested at several different concentrations, which are selected in part depending on the assay conditions.

[0194] The compounds of the present invention can inhibit Notch signaling by interacting with the Notch intracellular domain.

[0195] The present invention also relates to prodrugs using libraries containing one or more compounds of the present invention. Prodrugs are typically designed to release the active drug in the body during or after absorption by enzymatic and / or chemical hydrolysis. The prodrug approach is an effective means of improving the oral bioavailability or intravenous administration of poorly water-soluble drugs by chemical derivatization to more water-soluble compounds. The most commonly used prodrug approach to increase the water solubility of drugs containing hydroxyl groups is to prepare esters containing ionizable groups, such as phosphate groups, carboxylic acid groups, and alkylamino groups (Fleisher et al., Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 115-130, 1996; Davis et al., Cancer Res., 7247-7253).

[0196] In another aspect, the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the present invention. These compositions can be used in various methods of the present invention, as described in detail below.

[0197] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be formulated to suit the intended route of administration. Examples of administration routes include parenteral (e.g., intravenous), intradermal, subcutaneous, oral (e.g., inhalation), transdermal (topical), transmucosal, and rectal administration. Solutions or suspensions (e.g., injectable solutions) used for parenteral (particularly intravenous), intradermal, or subcutaneous administration may contain the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline, fixed oil, polyethylene glycols, glycerin, propylene glycol, or other synthetic solvents; an antibacterial agent such as benzyl alcohol or methylparaben; an antioxidant such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; a chelating agent such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; a buffer such as acetate, citrate, or phosphate; and an isotonic agent such as sodium chloride or dextrose. Furthermore, the pH can be adjusted with acids or bases (e.g., hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide). Parenteral preparations can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes, or multiple-dose vials made of glass or plastic.

[0198] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injection include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EL TM(BASF, Parsippany, NJ) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents (e.g., parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like). In many cases, it is preferable to include isotonic agents (e.g., sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol or sorbitol, sodium chloride) in the composition. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.

[0199] Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating the active compound, for example, a compound having general formula (I), in the required amount in a suitable solvent with one or a combination of the above-mentioned ingredients, as needed, followed by sterilization by filtration. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle containing the required other ingredients from those mentioned above and a dispersion medium. In the case of sterile powders for preparing sterile injectable solutions, the preferred preparation method is vacuum drying and freeze-drying to prepare a powder of the active ingredient and any additional desired ingredients from a previously sterile-filtered solution.

[0200] Oral compositions generally contain an inert diluent or an edible carrier. These may be sealed in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. For oral therapeutic purposes, the active compound may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches, or capsules.

[0201] Oral compositions can also be prepared using a liquid carrier for use as a mouthwash, where the compound in the liquid carrier is applied orally and slurped, expectorated, or swallowed. Pharmaceutically compatible binders and / or adjuvants can be included as part of the composition. Tablets, pills, capsules, troches, etc. can contain any of the following ingredients or compounds of a similar nature: binders such as microcrystalline cellulose, tragacanth, or gelatin; excipients such as starch, lactose, or disintegrating agents such as alginic acid, Primogel, or cornstarch; lubricants such as magnesium stearate or Sterotes; glidants such as colloidal silicon dioxide; sweeteners such as sucrose or saccharin; or flavoring agents such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring.

[0202] For administration by inhalation, the compounds are delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from pressured container or dispenser which contains a suitable propellant (e.g., a gas such as carbon dioxide) or nebulizer.

[0203] Systemic administration can also be via transmucosal or transdermal means.For transmucosal or transdermal administration, a penetrant appropriate to the barrier to be permeated is used in the formulation.Such penetrants are generally known in the art, and include, for example, for transmucosal administration, surfactants, bile salts, and fusidic acid derivatives.Transmucosal administration can be achieved by using nasal sprays or suppositories.For transdermal administration, the active compound is generally formulated into ointments, salves, gels, or creams known in the art.

[0204] The compounds of the invention can also be prepared in the form of suppositories (e.g., with conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter and other glycerides) or retention enemas for rectal delivery.

[0205] In one embodiment, the active compound can be prepared with a carrier that protects the compound against rapid elimination from the body, such as a controlled-release dosage form, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid, can be used. Methods for preparing such dosage forms are readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Materials are also commercially available from Alza Corporation and Nova Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Liposomal suspensions (including liposomes targeted to infected cells with monoclonal antibodies against viral antigens) can also be used as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,522,811.

[0206] For ease of administration and uniformity of dosage, it may be more advantageous to formulate oral or parenteral compositions in the form of dosage units. As used herein, dosage unit form refers to a physically discrete unit suitable for a single dose for the subject to be treated; each unit contains a predetermined amount of active compound calculated in association with the necessary pharmaceutical carrier to produce the desired therapeutic effect. The specifications for the dosage unit form of the present invention are determined by and directly depend on the unique characteristics of the active compound, the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and the limitations inherent in the technology of compounding such active compounds for individual treatment.

[0207] For example, in some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are suitable for oral administration in a unit dose, e.g., a tablet or capsule containing about 1 mg to about 1 g of a compound of the present invention. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are suitable for intravenous, subcutaneous, or intramuscular injection. A patient may receive, for example, an intravenous, subcutaneous, or intramuscular dose of a compound of the present invention of about 1 μg / kg to about 1 g / kg. Intravenous, subcutaneous, and intramuscular doses may be given by means of bolus injection. Alternatively, the intravenous dose may be given by continuous infusion over a period of time. Alternatively, a patient may receive a daily oral dose approximately equivalent to the daily parenteral dose, with the composition being administered 1 to 4 times per day.

[0208] Preferably, the compound of formula (I) of the present invention can be administered to mammals, including humans, by intravenous administration (particularly preferably by continuous infusion or rapid intravenous administration).

[0209] In this case, the dosage is appropriately selected depending on various factors such as the patient's body weight and / or age, and / or the severity of symptoms and the administration route. For example, the dosage of the compound of formula (I) for parenteral administration is generally 1 to 10,000 mg / day / m per human body surface area by continuous infusion. 2 The range is preferably 1 to 5000 mg / day / m per human body surface area. 2 and more preferably 10 to 5000 mg / day / m per human body surface area. 2 is.

[0210] The pharmaceutical composition containing the compound of the present invention can be used for diseases controlled by the Notch signaling pathway. Specifically, compounds that inhibit Notch signaling suppress the expression of Hes1 and Hes5, providing a method for promoting the differentiation of neural stem cells, and are expected to be candidates for new neuroregenerative drugs.

[0211] The present invention also provides a method for promoting neural stem cell differentiation, comprising contacting neural stem cells with a compound of formula (I) in an amount effective to promote neural stem cell differentiation. Such methods are also useful for treating neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., glaucoma, macular degeneration, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease) and nervous system injuries. "Neural stem cells" are clonogenic, undifferentiated, pluripotent cells that can differentiate into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes under appropriate conditions. A compound promotes neural stem cell differentiation if the neural stem cells exhibit a statistically significantly higher degree of differentiation in the presence of the compound than in the absence of the compound. Such compounds can be identified using assays involving in vitro cultured stem cells and animal models (Albranches et al., Biotechnol. Lett. 25: 725-30, 2003; Deng et al., Exp. Neurol. 182: 373-82, 2003; Munoz-Elias et al., Stem Cells 21: 437-48, 2003; Kudo et al., Biochem. Pharmacol. 66: 289-95, 2003; Wan et al., Chin. Med. J. 116: 428-31, 2003; Kawamorita et al., Hum. Cell 15: 178-82, 2002; Stavridis and Smith, Biochem. Soc. Trans. 31: 45-9, 2003; Pachemik et al., Reprod. Nutr. Dev. 42: 317-26, 2002; Fukunaga et al., supra). Neural stem cells may be cultured stem cells, stem cells freshly isolated from their source tissue, or stem cells within their source organism. Thus, contacting neural stem cells with the compounds of the present invention can be carried out either in vitro (in the case of cultured stem cells or freshly isolated stem cells) or in vivo (in the case of stem cells within their source organism). The resulting differentiated neural cells, when generated in vitro, can be transplanted into tissues in need thereof (Lacza et al., supra; Chu et al., supra; Fukunaga et al., supra).Such tissues include brain tissue or other neural tissues affected by trauma or neurodegenerative diseases.

[0381] Experimental example: Notch assay CellSensor T-REx was engineered by lentiviral transfection of HeLa cells with a Notch response element (CSL-bla) driving β-lactamase reporter gene expression along with a DOX (doxycycline)-inducible NICD (Notch intracellular domain) construct. TM We used NICD CSL-bla HeLa cells, and the addition of DOX to these cells downregulated the expression of the NICD transcription factor, which subsequently allowed the expression of β-lactamase. Specifically, the following protocol was used:

[0382] Notch Assay Protocol (Method 2) 1. Add 40 nL / well of 1000x working concentration of compound to 384 well assay plate using Echo. 2. Cell: HeLa / T-REx TM NICD CSL-bla cells (10 3 cells / well), 35 μl / well in complete medium, placed in a 384-well plate. 3. Add 5 μl of 8X doxycycline in assay medium to treated wells and 5 μl of assay medium to untreated or cell-free control wells. 4. Incubate the assay plate in a humidified 37°C / 5% CO2 incubator for 16-20 hours. 5.6×LiveBLAzer TM The -FRET B / G Substrate (CCF4-AM) Mixture should be prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions, and cell loading should be performed in a location away from strong direct light. 6. Remove the assay plate from the humidified 37°C / 5% CO2 incubator. Add 8 μl of the 6x Substrate Mixture prepared in step 5 to each well. Cover the plate to protect it from light and evaporation. Incubate at room temperature for 4 hours. 7. Read the assay plate using the following filter selections:

[0383] [ka]

[0384] 8. Data Analysis: Use the assay plate layout to identify the location of cell-free wells. These control wells will be used for background subtraction. Measure the average emission of cell-free wells at both 460 nm (average blue background) and 530 nm (average green background). Subtract the average blue background (data collected at 460 nm) from all blue emission data. Subtract the average green background (data collected at 530 nm) from all green emission data. Calculate the blue / green emission ratio for each well by dividing the background-subtracted blue emission value by the background-subtracted green emission value.

[0385] Instead of steps 1 to 3, the following steps a to d can also be performed. Step 4 (Method 1) The rest of the process is the same as in Method 2. a. Cell: HeLa / T-REx TM NICD CSL-bla cells (10 3cells / well), 32 μl / well in complete medium, placed in a 384-well plate. b. Prepare 10x compound in assay medium. c. Add 4 μL compound or 1% DMSO in assay medium to the cells. d. Add 4 μl of 10× doxycycline in assay medium to treated wells and 4 μl of assay medium to untreated or cell-free control wells. The results are shown in Table 13 (Table 13-1 to Table 13-2).
