Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Chinese patent application CN201911256773.5, filed on December 3, 2019, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to a series of compounds having inhibitory effects on Aurora kinases, as well as methods for their preparation and use. [Background technology]

[0003] Background of the Invention Aurora kinases are threonine / serine protein kinases that play important roles in key mitotic events, such as centrosome duplication, bipolar spindle formation, chromosome rearrangement, and chromosome checkpoint monitoring (Cancer Metastasis Rev., 2003, 22, 451). Currently, three structurally and functionally related Aurora kinase subtypes, Aurora A, Aurora B, and Aurora C, are known to exist in human cells. Aurora A resides around the centrosome during prophase, on microtubules near the spindle during metaphase, and on polar microtubules during anaphase and telophase. It is primarily involved in centrosome duplication and separation, bipolar spindle assembly, mitotic initiation and termination, centrosome maturation, and spindle assembly (Nat. Rev. Cancer, 2005, 5, 42). Aurora B resides at the centromeric regions of chromosomes during early mitosis and translocates from the centromere to microtubules during metaphase. Aurora B regulates centromere function, chromosome alignment and segregation, the spindle checkpoint, and cytokinesis (Mol. Cancer Ther., 2009, 8, 2046-2056). Aurora C is highly expressed in the testis and is thought to play a special role in males (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2002, 99(24):15440-15445).

[0004] The gene encoding Aurora A is located at 20q13.2, a region commonly amplified in many tumors, including breast, colon, ovarian, and thyroid cancers. Overexpression of Aurora A in cells leads to the development of various cancer cell characteristics, including centrosome amplification, aneuploidy, chromosomal instability, and telomere elongation (J. Cell Sci., 2007, 120, 2987). Overexpression of Aurora A or its coexpression with TPX-2 induces chromosomal instability. Furthermore, Aurora A interferes with the function of important tumor suppressor and proapoptotic proteins, such as p53. Aurora A phosphorylation of p53 at Ser215 and Ser315 interferes with the normal function of p53 and leads to its degradation, respectively.

[0005] Aurora B is located at 17p13.1, and unlike Aurora A, this region is not significantly amplified in most cancers other than brain gliomas (J. Clin. Pathol., 2007, 60(2):218-221). However, Aurora B mRNA and protein are overexpressed in many tumors, including rapidly proliferating cells in colon cancer, oral cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. Thus, tumor cells upregulate the expression of Aurora family proteins in various ways. The chromosomal passenger protein complex (CPC) is a key complex that regulates mitosis, and Aurora B is a central member of this complex. Aurora B phosphorylates substrates, primarily INCENP, CENP-A, and survivin. Aurora B regulates mitosis by phosphorylating its substrates. Furthermore, overexpression of Aurora B enhances mitosis as well as the ras signaling pathway.

[0006] Aurora kinases have become important targets in antitumor drug research due to their unique pharmacological mechanism of action and their relationship to malignant tumors. Aurora kinase inhibitors are also promising candidates for development as novel antitumor drugs. LY-3295668 is an Aurora A kinase inhibitor with a pyridine ring (WO2016077161) and is currently undergoing phase 1 clinical trials. LY-3295668 has the following structural formula: [ka] [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0009] However, Aurora A kinase inhibitors such as LY-3295668 have drawbacks such as insufficient Aurora kinase activity, poor oral absorption, and limited in vivo antitumor activity.

[0031] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a form of a compound that does not cause significant stimulation to a living body due to drug administration and does not lose the biological activity and properties of the compound. The salt of the compound of the present invention refers to a salt conventionally used in the field of organic chemistry, and for example, when the compound has a carboxyl group, it can be a base addition salt of the carboxyl group, and when the compound has an amino group or a basic heterocyclic group, it can be an acid addition salt of the amino group or a basic heterocyclic group.

[0032] Examples of base addition salts include alkali metal salts such as sodium salts and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium salts and magnesium salts, ammonium salts, and organic amine salts such as trimethylamine salts, triethylamine salts, dicyclohexylamine salts, ethanolamine salts, diethanolamine salts, triethanolamine salts, procaine salts, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine salts, meglumine salts, arginine salts, and lysine salts.

Furthermore, the compound of Formula (1) may be in a crystalline form and may also be a polymorph. Polymorphs include different lattice arrangements of the same elements of a compound. Polymorphs typically have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, densities, hardnesses, crystalline shapes, optical properties, electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Various factors, such as recrystallization solvents, crystallization rates, and storage temperatures, may result in the predominance of a single crystalline form.

[0036] In another embodiment, the compounds of formula (1) have one or more stereocenters and therefore occur in the form of racemates, racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomeric compounds, and single diastereomers. The possible asymmetric centers depend on the nature of the various substituents on the molecule. Each of these asymmetric centers independently generates two optical isomers, and all possible optical isomers, diastereomeric mixtures, and pure or partially pure compounds are within the scope of the present invention. The present invention is intended to include all such isomeric forms of these compounds.

Assay of inhibitory activity against Aurora kinase In vitro assays of the inhibitory activity of the compounds disclosed herein against Aurora kinase activity were performed using the caliper mobility shift method. Each compound was subjected to a gradient dilution starting from 10 μM, resulting in a total of 10 concentrations. The enzyme and kinase reaction solution (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.01% Triton X-100) were mixed, and then the gradient-diluted compound was added. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the compound and enzyme to bind well. Subsequently, FAM-labeled polypeptide was added as a substrate, and the kinase reaction was carried out at 25°C. After a certain period of time, a stop solution was added. The conversion rate was read using a caliper and converted to an inhibition rate, and the IC 50The values ​​were calculated. A blank solvent containing no drug was used as a negative control, and LY-3295668 was used as a positive control. The results for the above compounds are shown in Table 4.

A blank group was used as a negative control, and the resulting mixture was cultured in an incubator for 72 hours. Then, 50μL of CTL plus was added to each well, and the cell number was evaluated by measuring the amount of ATP in the cells. The IC was approximated using GRAPHPAD. 50 The values ​​were calculated and the results are shown in Table 4.

Evaluation of antitumor activity in mice Human lung cancer H69 cells were conventionally cultured in 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum in a 37°C / 5% CO2 incubator, and passaged and harvested when the cells reached the desired number. 7 H69 cells were injected into the right dorsal region of each nude mouse, and tumors were grown to 150 mm 3 After reaching maturity, the animals were randomly assigned to groups and administered the treatment. The groups were as follows: 1) Vehicle control group: 8 animals; 2) LY-3295668 group, Compound 1 group, Compound 5 group, and Compound 6 group: 8 animals each. Mice in the vehicle control group received intragastric administration of 0.5% CMC-Na twice daily. Mice in the LY-3295668 group, Compound 1 group, Compound 5 group, and Compound 6 group received intragastric administration of the compounds suspended in 0.5% CMC-Na twice daily. Tumor volume and body weight of the mice were measured every Tuesday and Thursday, and the nude mice were sacrificed on the 21st day of administration. The test results are shown in Table 5 below.
