Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to compounds and methods for their preparation and use as therapeutic or prophylactic agents (e.g., for the treatment of inflammation). [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of Related Art Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes whose activation plays a central role in innate immunity and inflammation. To date, four inflammasomes have been described (NLRP1, NLRC4, NLRP3, and AIM2). The NLRP3 inflammasome is composed of NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-I. Its activation leads to the activation of caspase-I, which promotes the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18, cytokines that mediate inflammation in animal disease models of several autoimmune diseases, myocardial infarction, metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and macrophage activation syndrome.

[0003] NEK7 is a member of the NIMA-related kinase (NEK) family that acts as a binding protein for NLRP3 and regulates its oligomerization and activation. NEK7 is a serine / threonine kinase essential for mitotic entry, cell cycle progression, cell division, and mitotic progression. It is expressed in various tissues, including the brain, heart, lung, liver, and spleen. Overexpression of NEK7 induces the production of abnormal cells and is closely associated with tumors such as retinoblastoma, gallbladder cancer, and head and neck cancer.

[0004] Many inhibitors have been widely used to inhibit effector signaling pathways, such as IL-1β or IL-18, without abolishing the inflammatory response. Inhibitors of NLRP3 inflammasome activation that block the NLRP3-NEK7 interaction may exhibit therapeutic or preventive activity in several human diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), atherosclerosis, gout, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the exact mechanism of NLRP3-NEK7 interaction remains unclear.

[0005] Thus, there is a need to develop inhibitors that directly target NEK7 and affect inflammatory responses regulated by the NLRP3 inflammasome in several pathological diseases, such as gout, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, macular degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Embodiments of the present disclosure fulfill this need and provide further related advantages. Summary of the Invention

[0054] The terms "antagonist" and "inhibitor" are used interchangeably and refer to compounds that inhibit the biological function of a target protein by inhibiting the activity or expression of the protein (e.g., NLRP3 inflammasome or NEK7 or NLRP3 inflammasome-NEK7 association). Thus, the terms "antagonist" and "inhibitor" are defined in the context of the biological role of the target protein. Preferred antagonists herein specifically interact (e.g., bind) with the target, but compounds that inhibit the biological activity of a target protein by interacting with other members of the signaling pathway in which the target protein is a member are also clearly included within this definition. Preferred biological activities inhibited by antagonists are associated with tumor development, growth, or spread.

[0055] The term "agonist" as used herein refers to a compound that has the ability to induce or enhance the biological function of a target protein by inhibiting the activity or expression of the target protein. Thus, the term "agonist" is defined in the context of the biological role of the target polypeptide. Preferred agonists herein specifically interact (e.g., bind) with the target, but compounds that induce or enhance the biological activity of a target polypeptide by interacting with other members of the signal transduction pathway in which the target polypeptide is a member are also clearly included within this definition.

[0056] "Signal transduction" is the process by which stimulatory or inhibitory signals are transmitted into and within cells, resulting in an intracellular response.

[0057] The terms "selective inhibition" or "selectively inhibit" refer to the ability of a biologically active agent to preferentially reduce target signaling activity relative to off-target signaling activity, through direct or indirect interaction with the target.

[0058] "Subject" refers to an animal, such as a mammal, e.g., a human. The methods described herein can be useful in both human therapy and veterinary applications. In some embodiments, the subject is a mammal, and in some embodiments, the subject is a human.

[0059] "Mammals" includes humans and both domestic animals (such as laboratory animals and pets (e.g., cats, dogs, pigs, cows, sheep, goats, horses, rabbits)) and non-domestic animals (such as wild animals and the like).

[0060] The term "prodrug" is intended to refer to a compound that can be converted under physiological conditions or by solvolysis into a biologically active compound described herein (e.g., a compound of structure (I)). Thus, the term "prodrug" refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable precursor of a biologically active compound. In some embodiments, a prodrug is inactive when administered to a subject, but is converted to an active compound in vivo, for example, by hydrolysis. Prodrug compounds often offer advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in mammals (see, e.g., Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs (1985), pp. 7-9, 21-24 (Elsevier, Amsterdam)). Prodrugs are discussed in "Prodrugs as Novel Delivery Systems," ACS Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. The term "prodrug" is also intended to include any covalently bonded carrier that releases an active compound in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of the active compounds described herein are generally prepared by modifying functional groups in the active compound in such a way that the modification is cleaved to the parent active compound, either by routine manipulation or in vivo. Prodrugs include compounds in which a hydroxy, amino, or thiol group is bonded to any group that cleaves to form a free hydroxy, free amino, or free mercapto group, respectively, when the prodrug of the active compound is administered to a mammalian subject. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate, and benzoate derivatives of hydroxy functional groups, or acetamide, formamide, and benzamide derivatives of amine functional groups in the active compound.

[0061] The term "in vivo" refers to events that take place inside a subject's body.

[0062] The embodiments disclosed herein are also intended to encompass all pharmaceutically acceptable compounds of structure (I).

[0063] Certain embodiments are also intended to encompass in vivo metabolic products of the disclosed compounds. Such products may result primarily from enzymatic processes, for example, by oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, esterification, etc., of the administered compound. Accordingly, embodiments include compounds produced by a process comprising administering a compound of the present disclosure to a mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product thereof. Such products are generally identified by administering to an animal (e.g., rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey, etc.) or human a detectable dose of a radiolabeled compound of the present disclosure, allowing sufficient time for metabolism to occur, and isolating the conversion product from urine, blood, or other biological sample.

[0064] "Stable compound" and "stable structure" are intended to indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.

[0065] Crystallization often results in a solvate of the compounds disclosed herein. As used herein, the term "solvate" refers to an aggregate containing one or more compounds of the present disclosure together with one or more solvent molecules. In some embodiments, the solvent is water, in which case the solvate is a hydrate. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the solvent is an organic solvent. Thus, the compounds of the present disclosure may exist as hydrates (such as monohydrates, dihydrates, hemihydrates, sesquihydrates, trihydrates, tetrahydrates, and the like) and corresponding solvated forms. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure are true solvates, while in other cases, the compounds of the present disclosure merely retain added water or are merely a mixture of water and some added solvents.

[0066] "Optionally" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes cases where said event or circumstance occurs and cases where it does not occur. For example, "optionally substituted aryl" means that the aryl radical may or may not be substituted, and that the description includes both substituted aryl radicals and aryl radicals that have no substituents.

[0067] A "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a formulation of a compound of the present disclosure and a medium generally accepted in the art for the delivery of a compound of the present disclosure to a mammal, e.g., a human. Such a medium includes all pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients therefor.

[0068] A "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient" includes, but is not limited to, any adjuvant, carrier, additive, glidant, sweetener, diluent, preservative, dye / colorant, flavor enhancer, surfactant, wetting agent, dispersing agent, suspending agent, stabilizer, isotonic agent, solvent, or emulsifier.

[0069] "Stereoisomers" refer to compounds consisting of the same atoms joined by the same bonds but with different three-dimensional structures, and are not interchangeable. The present disclosure contemplates various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof, and includes "enantiomers," which refer to two stereoisomers whose molecules are non-superimposable mirror images of one another.

[0070] The compounds of the present disclosure (i.e., compounds of structure (I)) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may contain one or more centers of geometric asymmetry and may therefore give rise to stereoisomers (e.g., enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomers defined in terms of absolute stereochemistry as (R)- or (S)-, or for amino acids as (D)- or (L)-). Embodiments therefore include all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (+) and (−), (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents and resolved using conventional techniques, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallization. Conventional techniques for preparing / isolating individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from appropriate optically pure precursors, or resolution of the racemate (or racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). When compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, unless otherwise specified, the compounds are intended to include both E and Z geometric isomers, as well as all tautomeric forms.

[0071] Embodiments of the present disclosure include all types of rotamers and conformationally restricted states of the compounds of the present invention. Also included are atropisomers, which are stereoisomers resulting from restricted rotation about a single bond (energy differences due to steric strain or other factors create a barrier to rotation high enough to allow isolation of each conformer). For example, certain compounds of the present disclosure may exist as a mixture of atropisomers or may be purified or enriched for the presence of a single atropisomer.

[0072] In some embodiments, the compound of structure (I) is a mixture of enantiomers or diastereomers. In other embodiments, the compound of structure (I) is substantially one enantiomer or diastereomer.

[0073] "Tautomer" refers to a proton migration from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule. The embodiments therefore include tautomers of the disclosed compounds.

[0074] The chemical nomenclature and chemical structure diagrams used herein are a modified form of the IUPAC nomenclature, using the ACD / Name Version 9.07 software program and / or the ChemDraw Professional Version 17.0.0.206 software naming program (CambridgeSoft). For complex chemical names used herein, a substituent is generally named before the group to which it is attached. For example, cyclopropylethyl contains an ethyl skeleton with a cyclopropyl substituent. Except as noted below, all bonds are revealed in the chemical structure diagrams herein, except for all bonds on some carbon atoms (which are assumed to be attached to sufficient hydrogen atoms to satisfy valences).

[0207] The following examples are offered by way of illustration.

[0208] General Procedure All proton NMR experiments were recorded at 400 MHz on a Bruker NEO Spectrometer equipped with a BBFO probe. Deuterated solvents contained less than 0.05% v / v of tetramethylsilane, which was used as the reference signal (set at 0.00 ppm). When the deuterated solvent did not contain tetramethylsilane, the peak of the remaining non-deuterated solvent was used as the reference signal, following published guidelines (J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62(21), 7512-7515). Chemical shifts are expressed in parts per million (ppm, δ units). Coupling constants are in hertz (Hz). Splitting patterns are described by apparent multiplicity and are designated as s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), m (multiplet), qt (quintet), or brs (broad singlet). LC / MS analysis was performed on an Agilent Technologies UHPLC 1290 Infinity II with a G6125 MS detector. Microwave reactions were carried out on a Monowave 300 from Anton Paar GmbH using standard protocols.

[0209] NEK7 enzyme assay Casein substrate (a hydrolyzed and partially dephosphorylated mixture of bovine milk-derived α-, β-, and κ-caseins, obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, catalog #C4765, diluted to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL with distilled water) and full-length recombinant human NEK7 (expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells with an N-terminal GST tag, obtained from SignalChem, catalog #N09-10G, 0.1 μg / μL) were mixed in assay buffer (20 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.02% Brij35, 0.02 mg / mL BSA, 0.1 mM Na3VO4, 2 mM DTT, 1% DMSO). Compounds of interest (serialized 3-fold dilutions in DMSO from 10 μM to 0.5 nM) or vehicle (1% DMSO) were dispensed into the kinase reaction mixture using Acoustic technology (Echo550; nanoliter range). After 20 min of incubation at room temperature,33 The kinase reaction was initiated by the addition of [P]-ATP (specific activity 10 μCi / μl), and the mixture was incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. The reaction was then stopped by spotting the reaction mixture onto a strip of phosphocellulose P81 paper. After washing, the radioactivity of the P81 paper was measured, and kinase activity data were expressed as a percentage of the remaining kinase activity in the test sample compared to the vehicle reaction. IC was calculated using Prism (GraphPad Software). 50 Values ​​and curve fits were obtained. IL-1β release assay Approximately 1.5 million THP-1 cells were seeded into each well of a 6-well TC plate and incubated with 40 nM PMA in RPMI (10% FBS, 1% Penstrep) for 24 hours. The medium was then removed, and the cells were rested in RPMI (10% FBS, 1% Penstrep) for 24 hours. The medium was then removed, and the cells were pretreated with various concentrations of the compound of interest (typically serially diluted 3-fold in RPMI + 5% FBS, ranging from 1 μM to 0.5 nM) for 2 hours in RPMI (5% FBS). The medium was again removed, and the cells were incubated with 250 ng / mL LPS and the compound of interest (concentrations as specified above) in RPMI (5% FBS) for 2 hours. Finally, the medium was removed, and the cells were incubated with 20 μM nigericin and the compound of interest (concentrations as specified above) in Opti-MEM for 30 minutes. The cell culture medium was then harvested, and the amount of cleaved IL-1β was determined using a JESS instrument (Protein Simple) and standard protocols.
