Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed on January 18, 2022, bearing application number 202210052435.5 and entitled "Cyclopropanamide-containing compounds and their uses," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Technical Field]

[0002] This application relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and specifically to cyclopropanamide-containing compounds and their uses. [Background technology]

[0003] Protein kinases are a family of enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of specific residues in proteins and are broadly classified as tyrosine and serine / threonine kinases. Inappropriate kinase activity due to mutation, overexpression or improper regulation, dysregulation or disregulation, and overproduction or underproduction of growth factors and cytokines is associated with numerous diseases, including, but not limited to, cancer, cardiovascular disease, hypersensitivity reactions, asthma and other respiratory diseases, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases, metabolic disorders, and neurological and neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease). Thus, protein kinases have become an important class of enzymes as target spots for therapeutic intervention.

[0004] The Janus kinase (JAK) family is a type of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase that plays an important role in cytokine receptor signaling pathways through interactions with signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs). STATs are a group of cytoplasmic proteins that can bind to target gene regulatory DNA. As downstream substrates of JAKs, STATs are activated by tyrosine phosphorylation under stimulation of external signals, and then enter the cell nucleus to regulate gene transcription.

[0005] The regulation of many aberrant immune responses, including autoimmune diseases such as allergy, asthma, (xeno)transplant rejection, rheumatoid arthritis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis, as well as hematological malignancies such as myeloproliferative disorders, leukemias and lymphomas, are all associated with the JAK / STAT signaling pathway.

[0006] The Janus kinase (JAK) family includes four members: JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2. JAK1, JAK2, and TYK2 are widely distributed in various tissues and cells, while JAK3 is mainly distributed in lymphocytes.

[0007] JAK1 can bind to IL-10, IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-26, IL-28, IFN-α, IFN-γ, IL-6 of the gp130 family, and other γc-containing receptors (Rodig S.J., et al., Cell, 1998, 93:373-383). JAK1 is a novel target spot in the field of immune-related diseases, inflammatory diseases, and cancer. JAK1 inhibitors can be used to treat / prevent autoimmune inflammatory diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, arthritis, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (Hou S., et al., HμM. Genet., 2013, 132:1049-1058) (Hornakova T., et al., Blood, 2010, 115:3287-3295).

[0008] JAK2 plays an important role in the regulation of multiple receptor signals, including those of IL-3, IFN-γ, EPO, GH, etc. (Levy D.E., et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol., 2002, 3:651-662). JAK2 inhibitors have great medical value and market potential for the treatment of diseases such as myelofibrosis, solid tumors, and hematological tumors.

[0009] JAK3 regulates cell signaling by binding to the common gamma chain (γc) in the receptor complexes for cytokines such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21. JAK3 inhibitors can block T cell activation and prevent transplant rejection after transplant surgery. Furthermore, JAK3 inhibitors can also regulate the functions of lymphocytes, macrophages, and mast cells. JAK3 inhibitors are expected to be used for the treatment or prevention of several diseases associated with the function of lymphocytes, macrophages, or mast cells.

[0010] Torfatinib is the first FDA-approved novel oral JAK inhibitor, acting on JAK1 and JAK3, and is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, while torfatinib alleviates RA symptoms, it also causes some side effects, including the development of certain infections, malignancies, and lymphomas. Studies have shown that the overall risk of infection and mortality associated with torfatinib is similar to that of treating RA with biologics. Given the pleiotropic effects of JAKs on many regulatory pathways and immune processes, non-selective JAK inhibitors pose a risk of adverse reactions, and selective JAK inhibitors have become an important area of ​​current research.

[0011] Filgotinib, a new-generation JAK1 selective inhibitor developed by Galapagos, Belgium, reduces the risk of anemia or infection associated with tolfatinib. However, filgotinib has relatively weak activity, with an IC50 of greater than 10 nM for JAK1, and its clinical dose is relatively high (Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs. 2016, 25, 1355).

[0012] Although a series of JAK inhibitors have been disclosed on the market, there is still a need to develop new compounds with better efficacy and JAK selectivity. Through continuous efforts, the present application has developed a compound having a structure represented by general formula (I), and found that the compound having such a structure exhibits excellent efficacy.

[0065] Example 1: Synthesis of Compounds 1 to 11 TIFF0007784561000016.tif142170Synthetic route of general formula compound (IX) to which compounds 1-11 belong Step 1: Diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate (177 mg, 1 mmol) was dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). Sodium hydride (60 mg, 1.5 mmol) was added in an ice bath. After stirring for 1 hour, the corresponding aldehyde (1 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was quenched by adding saturated ammonium chloride solution (20 mL). The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL × 3). The organic phases were combined, washed with saturated brine (20 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was used directly in the next step. Step 2: N-(5-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)imidazole[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (134 mg, 0.5 mmol), the residue from the previous step (0.6 mmol), and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undecene-7 (2 drops) were dissolved in acetonitrile and heated to 80 °C for 8 hours. After returning to room temperature, water (20 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, which was then concentrated to remove most of the acetonitrile. The mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL × 3). The combined organic phases were washed with saturated brine (20 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (dichloromethane:methanol = 100:0-100:5) to give the compound.
