Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202010557580.X, filed on June 17, 2020, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to novel compounds having inhibitory activity against Wee-1 kinase, a process for their preparation, and the use of the compounds in the preparation of antitumor drugs. [Background technology]

[0003] Wee-1 protein kinase is an important negative regulatory protein in cell cycle checkpoints. These checkpoints include the G1 checkpoint, which marks the transition from G1 (resting phase) to S (DNA synthesis phase), the G2 checkpoint, which marks the transition from G2 (preparatory phase for cell division) to M (mitotic phase), and the spindle checkpoint, which marks the transition from metaphase (metaphase) to anaphase (anaphase). Wee-1 protein kinase plays an important role in the G2 checkpoint. Transition to M phase depends on CDK1 kinase activity, and Wee-1 phosphorylates Tyr15 of the CDK1 protein, inhibiting CDK1 activity and preventing cells from entering M phase (mitotic phase). Meanwhile, polo kinase phosphorylates Wee-1, activating its degradation and promoting cell transition to M phase. Thus, the kinase activity of Wee-1 determines the activity of the G2 checkpoint, which regulates the transition of cells from G2 to M phase.

[0004] Cell cycle checkpoints are activated primarily after DNA damage and play a critical role in intracellular DNA repair. When cell cycle checkpoints are activated normally, the cell cycle is inhibited and DNA repair is promoted. When checkpoint function is inhibited, DNA damage cannot be repaired and cells undergo apoptosis. Compared to normal cells, several tumor cells rely primarily on activation of the G2 checkpoint to repair DNA damage and avoid apoptosis due to impaired function of p53, a key protein in the G1 checkpoint. Therefore, inhibiting the G2 checkpoint can selectively kill tumor cells. The crucial role of Wee-1 kinase activity in the G2 checkpoint suggests that Wee-1 kinase determines whether tumor cells repair or die after DNA damage, and that inhibiting Wee-1 activity induces tumor cells that fail to repair DNA damage to transition to the M phase and undergo apoptosis.

[0005] In addition to its role in the G2 checkpoint, studies have shown that Wee-1 is involved in functions closely related to tumor initiation and progression, such as DNA synthesis, DNA homologous repair, and post-translational modification of chromosomal histones. Wee-1 expression is highly elevated in many tumors, including liver cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, melanoma, and lung cancer. High Wee-1 expression is positively correlated with tumor development or poor prognosis, suggesting that Wee-1 kinase may be involved in tumor initiation and progression. Studies using in vitro cell models and in vivo animal models have shown that inhibiting Wee-1 activity while inducing DNA damage significantly inhibits the growth of various tumors.

[0006] Therefore, the development of specific and highly active small molecule inhibitors of Wee-1 kinase would have significant clinical value for tumor therapy, particularly targeting tumors with compromised G1 checkpoints, such as those with p53 deletion.

[0007] AstraZeneca's Wee-1 inhibitor AZD-1775 has entered Phase II clinical trials, with over 30 clinical trials underway and demonstrating favorable therapeutic effects. Patents related to AZD-1775 include U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20070254892, International Publication No. 2007126122, European Patent Application Publication No. 2213673, International Publication No. 2008133866, and International Publication No. 2011034743.

[0021] Definitions and Explanations As used herein, the following terms and phrases are intended to have the following meanings unless otherwise specified: A particular term or phrase should not be considered uncertain or unclear and should be construed according to its common definition unless specifically defined otherwise.

[0022] Reference herein to a trade name is intended to refer to the corresponding product name or its active ingredient. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to those compounds, compositions and / or formulations that are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0023] The term " pharmaceutically acceptable salt " refers to the form of a compound that does not cause significant stimulation to the living body due to drug administration or does not eliminate the biological activity and properties of the compound.In certain embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be obtained by reacting the compound of general formula (1) with an acid, for example, inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, etc., organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, picric acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid, acidic amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid.

[0024] It should be understood that pharmaceutically acceptable salts include solvent addition forms or crystalline forms, particularly solvates or polymorphs. Solvates contain stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent and are selectively formed upon crystallization with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water and ethanol. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, and alcoholates are formed when the solvent is ethanol. Solvates of compounds of general formula (1) are conveniently prepared or formed according to the methods described herein. For example, hydrates of compounds of general formula (1) are conveniently prepared by recrystallization from a water / organic solvent mixture, where the organic solvent used includes, but is not limited to, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, ethanol, or methanol. Furthermore, the compounds referred to herein can exist in both unsolvated and solvated forms. In general, solvated forms are considered equivalent to unsolvated forms for the purposes of the compounds and methods provided herein.

[0025] In other specific examples, compounds of general formula (1) are prepared in various forms, including, but not limited to, amorphous, crushed, and nanoparticle forms. Furthermore, compounds of general formula (1) may include crystalline forms and may also be polymorphs. Polymorphs contain 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 forms, optical properties, electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Various factors, such as recrystallization solvents, crystallization rates, and storage temperatures, may result in the predominance of single crystals.

[0026] In another embodiment, the compounds of general 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 are determined by the nature of the various substituents on the molecule. These asymmetric centers independently give rise to 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 meant to include all such isomers of these compounds.

[0027] Unless otherwise indicated, the absolute configuration of the stereocenter is determined by the wedge bond. [ka] and broken linear combinations [ka] and is expressed as a wedge or broken linear combination. [ka] is a wavy line [ka] It is expressed as:
