Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application relates to derivatives of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors (e.g., hydroxyl, keto, glucuronide, sulfonic acid, and deuterated derivatives), including methods for their preparation and intermediates in their preparation, which are useful in the treatment of FGFR-mediated diseases such as cancer. [Background technology]

[0002] Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) are receptor tyrosine kinases that bind to fibroblast growth factor (FGF) ligands. There are four FGFR proteins (FGFR1-4) that can bind to ligands and are involved in regulating many physiological processes, including tissue development, angiogenesis, wound healing, and metabolic regulation. Upon ligand binding, the receptor undergoes dimerization and phosphorylation, leading to stimulation of protein kinase activity and recruitment of numerous intracellular docking proteins. These interactions promote the activation of a range of intracellular signaling pathways crucial for cell growth, proliferation, and survival, including Ras-MAPK, AKT-PI3K, and phospholipase C (reviewed in Eswarakumar et al., Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2005).

[0003] Abnormal activation of this pathway, resulting from overexpression of FGF ligands or FGFR, or activation of FGFR mutations, can lead to tumor development, progression, and resistance to conventional cancer treatments. In human cancers, genetic changes, including somatic mutations leading to gene amplification, chromosomal translocations, and ligand-independent receptor activation, have been described. Genetic changes can include mutations, fusions, rearrangements (e.g., translocations, deletions, inversions), and gene amplification. Large-scale DNA sequencing of thousands of tumor samples has revealed that components of the FGFR pathway are among the most frequently mutated in human cancers. Many of these activating mutations are identical to germline mutations that cause skeletal dysplasia. Mechanisms leading to abnormal ligand-dependent signaling in human diseases include FGF overexpression and alterations in FGFR splicing that lead to receptors with more indiscriminate ligand-binding ability (reviewed in Knights and Cook Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2010; Turner and Grose, Nature Reviews Cancer, 2010). Therefore, the development of FGFR-targeting inhibitors may be useful for the clinical treatment of diseases in which FGF or FGFR activity is elevated.

[0004] Cancers involving FGF / FGFR include, but are not limited to, carcinomas (e.g., bladder, breast, cervix, colorectal, endometrium, stomach, head and neck, kidney, liver, lung, ovary, prostate); hematopoietic malignancies (e.g., multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic lymphoma, adult T-cell leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and Waldenström macroglobulinemia); and other neoplasms (e.g., glioblastoma, melanoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma). In addition to its role in oncogenic neoplasms, FGFR activation is also involved in skeletal and chondrocyte disorders, including, but not limited to, chondrodysplasia and craniosynostosis syndrome. Specifically, the FGFR4-FGF19 signaling axis is involved in the pathogenesis of many cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (Heinzle et al., Cur. Pharm. Des. 2014, 20:2881). Ectopic expression of FGF19 in transgenic mice has been shown to lead to tumorigenesis in the liver, and neutralizing antibodies against FGF19 have been found to inhibit tumor growth in mice. Furthermore, overexpression of FGFR4 has been observed in multiple tumor types, including hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and thyroid cancer. In addition, activating mutations in FGFR4 have been reported in rhabdomyosarcoma (Taylor et al. JCI 2009, 119:3395).

[0005] FGFR inhibitors are currently being developed for the treatment of cancer. For example, the molecule 3-(2,6-difluoro-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-ethyl-8-(morpholine-4-ylmethyl)-1,3,4,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrrolo[3',2':5,6]pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine-2-one and other small molecule inhibitors of FGFR are reported in, for example, U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 2012 / 0165305;2014-0045814;2013-0338134;2014 / 0171405;2014 / 0315902;2016 / 0115164;2016 / 0244448;2016 / 0244449;and 2016-0244450.

[0006] Therefore, novel or improved agents that inhibit FGFR remain needed to develop new and more effective medicines for treating cancer and other diseases. The compounds, including derivatives, compositions, and methods of these compounds described herein, are directed toward these needs and other purposes. [Overview of the project]

The pharmaceutical composition of this disclosure may contain 95% by weight of the compound or a salt thereof. The pharmaceutical composition of this disclosure may contain 99% by weight of the compound or a salt thereof.

[0154] These compositions may be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical field and may be administered by various routes depending on whether a topical or systemic treatment is desired and the area to be treated. Administration may be topical (including transmucosal, intranasal, intravaginal, and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or blowing of powder or aerosol, including by a sprayer; intratracheal, intranasal, epithelial, and transdermal), ocular, oral, or parenteral. Methods of ocular delivery may include topical administration (ophthalmic instillation), subconjunctival, periorbital, or intravitreal injection, or introduction by a balloon catheter or ocular implant surgically placed in the conjunctival sac. Parenteral administration may include intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intramuscular injection or infusion, or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular administration. Parenteral administration may be in the form of a single bolus dose or, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids, and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous bases, powder bases, or oily bases, thickeners, etc., may be essential or desirable.

[0155] This disclosure also includes pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of this disclosure as active ingredients in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. When preparing the compositions described herein, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by the excipient, or encapsulated in such a carrier, for example, in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. Where the excipient functions as a diluent, it may be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material acting as a vehicle, carrier, or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions may be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as solid or liquid media), for example, ointments, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injection solutions, and sterile packaging powders containing up to 10% by weight of the active compound.

[0156] When preparing a formulation, the active compound may be ground to provide an appropriate particle size before being combined with other components. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it may be ground to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water-soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by grinding to result in a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, for example, about 40 mesh.

[0157] Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starch, acacia gum, calcium phosphate, alginate, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methylcellulose. The formulation may further contain lubricants, wetting agents, emulsifiers and suspending agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil, preservatives such as methyl benzoate and propyl hydroxybenzoate, sweeteners, and flavorings. The compositions described herein may be formulated to provide rapid, sustained, or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to a patient using procedures known in the art.

[0158] The composition may be formulated in unit dosage forms, each dose containing approximately 5 to approximately 100 mg, more typically approximately 10 to approximately 30 mg, of the active ingredient. The term "unit dosage form" refers to a physically distinct unit suitable as a unit dose for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined amount of the active substance calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in relation to a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

[0159] Since active compounds can be effective across a wide range of doses, they are generally administered in pharmacologically effective amounts. However, it should be understood that the actual amount of compound administered is usually determined by the physician, taking into account relevant circumstances including the symptoms being treated, the chosen route of administration, the compound actually administered, the individual patient's age, weight, and response, and the severity of the patient's symptoms.

[0160] To prepare solid compositions such as tablets, the main active ingredient is mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients to form a solid pre-formulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of the compounds of the present disclosure. When these pre-formulation compositions are referred to as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically uniformly dispersed throughout the composition, thereby allowing the composition to be easily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, and capsules. This solid pre-formulation is then subdivided into, for example, the aforementioned unit dosage forms containing about 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present disclosure.

[0161] The tablets or pills of this disclosure may be coated or otherwise formulated to provide a dosage form that offers the benefit of long-term action. For example, the tablets or pills may contain internal and external dose components, the latter in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components may be separated by an enteric coating that resists disintegration in the stomach and allows the internal component to pass intact into the duodenum or delays its release. A variety of substances, including numerous polymer acids, as well as mixtures of polymer acids with substances such as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate, can be used as such enteric coatings or coatings.

[0162] Liquid forms in which the compounds of this disclosure, or compositions described herein, may be incorporated for oral or injectable administration include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oily suspensions, and emulsions flavored with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

[0163] Compositions for inhalation or inhalation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous solvents or organic solvents or mixtures thereof, as well as powders. Liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described above. In some embodiments, compositions are administered by oral or nasal respiratory pathways for topical or systemic effects. Compositions may be sprayed using an inert gas. The sprayed solution may be inhaled directly from a spraying device, or the spraying device may be attached to a facial mask tent or intermittent positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. Compositions in solution, suspension, or powder form may be administered orally or nasally from a device that delivers the formulation in an appropriate manner.

[0164] The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient will vary depending on what is being administered, the purpose of administration (such as prevention or treatment), the patient's condition, and the method of administration. For therapeutic use, the composition may be administered to a patient already suffering from the disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially prevent the symptoms and complications of the disease. The effective dose depends on the patient's medical condition and the severity of the disease, as well as the physician's judgment based on factors such as the patient's age, weight, and overall health.

[0165] The compositions administered to the patient may be in the form of the pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions may be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques or aseptically filtered. Aqueous solutions may be packaged for immediate use or lyophilized, and the lyophilized preparations may be combined with a sterile aqueous carrier before administration. The pH of the compound preparations will typically be 3 to 11, more preferably 5 to 9, and most preferably 7 to 8. It will be understood that formulations of pharmaceutical salts can be obtained by using certain aforementioned excipients, carriers, or stabilizers.

[0166] The therapeutic doses of the compounds described herein may vary depending, for example, the specific use of the treatment, the method of administration of the compound, the patient's health and condition, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The ratio or concentration of the compounds described herein in a pharmaceutical composition may vary depending on many factors, including the dose, chemical properties (e.g., hydrophobicity), and route of administration. For example, the compounds described herein can be provided for parenteral administration in aqueous physiological buffer solutions containing about 0.1 to about 10% w / v of the compound. Some typical dose ranges are about 1 μg / kg body weight to about 1 g / kg body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dose range is about 0.01 mg / kg body weight to about 100 mg / kg body weight per day. The dose may depend on variables such as the type and progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative bioefficacy of the selected compound, the formulation of the excipients, and the route of administration. The effective dose may be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.

[0167] The compounds of this disclosure may also be formulated in combination with one or more further active ingredients, which may include any pharmaceutical product such as antiviral agents, vaccines, antibodies, immunostimulants, immunosuppressants, and anti-inflammatory agents. [Examples]

Chemical Structure

[0172] Step 1: Synthesis of 4-((4-chloro-5-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-2-yl)methyl)morpholine In a 1 L flask, 4-chloro-5-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (50.0 g, 137 mmol) (see, e.g., Example 2) and tetrahydrofuran (THF, 266 g, 300 mL) were added under N2 conditions. To this mixture at -70°C, 2.0 M lithium diisopropylamide (77.4 g, 95 mL, 190 mmol, 1.4 equivalents) in THF / heptane / ethylbenzene was added. The mixture was stirred at -70°C for 1 hour. To this mixture, N-formylmorpholine (29.7 g, 258 mmol, 1.9 equivalents) in THF (22.2 g, 25 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction was carried out 30 minutes after addition.

[0230] Example A FGFR enzyme assay To detect product formation, the inhibitory efficacy of the exemplary compounds was determined using a discontinuous enzyme assay to measure peptide phosphorylation, employing FRET measurement. Inhibitors were serially diluted with DMSO, and 0.2 μL volumes were transferred to the wells of a 384-well plate. For FGFR isoforms containing phosphorylated and unphosphorylated proteins (FGFR-1, FGFR-2, FGFR-3 wild-type, and mutant isoforms, FGFR-4), 5 μL / well of enzyme diluted with assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.01% Tween-20, 5 mM DTT, pH 7.5) was added to the plate and pre-incubated with the inhibitor at ambient temperature for 5–15 minutes. Appropriate controls (enzyme blank and enzyme without inhibitor) were placed in the plate. The reaction was initiated by adding a 5 μL / well volume of assay buffer containing both the biotinylated EQEDEPEGDYFEWLE (SEQ ID NO: 1) peptide substrate and ATP. The reaction concentration of the peptide substrate was 500 nM at 10 μL / well, while the ATP concentration was maintained near or below the Km of ATP for each FGFR isoform. The ATP Km values ​​for each FGFR isoform were determined in advance in a series of separate experiments. The reaction plates were incubated at 25°C for 1 hour, and the reaction was terminated by adding a 5 μL / well quench solution (50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mg / mL BSA, pH 7.8; 45 mM EDTA, 600 nM staurosporine, 3.75 nM Eu antibody PY20, and 180 nM APC-streptavidin Perkin-Elmer-Lance reagent). Before scanning with the PheraStar plate reader (BMG Labtech), the plates were allowed to equilibrate at ambient temperature for approximately 10 minutes.

[0231] The data was analyzed using either GraphPad prism or XLfit. The IC was calculated by fitting the data to a four-parameter logistic equation to generate a sigmoid dose-response curve with a variable Hill coefficient. 50The value was derived. Prism's equation: Y = Bottom + (Top - Bottom) / (1 + 10^((Log IC) 50 -X)*Hill slope)); XLfit equation: Y = (A + ((BA) / (1 + ((X / C)^D)))) (where X is the logarithm of the inhibitor concentration and Y is the response).

To measure the inhibition of FGFR2α activity by the test compound, cells were divided into 5 × 10⁶ cells in Iscove, 0.2% FBS. 6The cells were resuspended at a concentration of cells / ml. Next, 50 μL of cells were spiked in 2 ml polypropylene assay blocks (Costar) with and without a range of test compounds and 300 μL of human heparinized whole blood (Biological Specialty Corp, Colmar PA) in a 96-deep well 1 / 2 ml polypropylene assay block (Costar). After incubation at 37°C for 4 hours, the erythrocytes were lysed with Qiagen EL buffer, and the cell lysates were resuspended for 30 minutes in lysis buffer (Cell Signaling) containing a standard protease inhibitor cocktail (Calbiochem / EMD) and PMSF (Sigma). The lysates were transferred to standard V-bottom propylene tissue culture plates and frozen overnight at -80°C. The samples were tested with R&D Systems DuoSet IC Human Phospho-FGF R2α ELISA, and the plates were measured using a SpectraMax M5 microplate set to 450 nm with a wavelength correction of 540. Using GraphPad Prism 5.0 software, IC is obtained by fitting the inhibitor inhibition percentage versus the logarithmic curve of the inhibitor concentration. 50 The decision was implemented.

[0235] Example C: Determination of permeability and P-gp-mediated transport in Caco-2 cells Caco-2 cells were grown in DMEM medium at a seeding density of 14,000 cells / well in 96-well transwell plates. To measure permeability in the absorption direction (AB), the HBSS test compound was added to the donor compartment (apical side), and 4% BSA of HBSS was added to the receiver compartment (basal side). To determine whether the compound was a P-gp substrate, permeability values ​​were measured in both the AB and BA directions in the absence of 4% BSA (bidirectional transport assay). Digoxin and cyclosporine A were included as positive controls for P-gp substrates and inhibitors, respectively, to ensure P-gp function in the bidirectional transport assay. Various concentrations of the test compound were added to the donor compartment (apical side for AB transport and basal side for BA transport), while the HBSS solution was added to the receiver compartment (basal side for AB transport and apical side for BA transport). In the AB-direction permeability study, the donor volume was 0.075 mL and the receiver volume was 0.25 mL. Incubation was performed at 37°C for 120 minutes. Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) was measured before and after the 120-minute incubation to confirm the integrity of the cell monolayer. At the end of the incubation period, the samples were removed from both the donor and receiver sides and mixed with acetonitrile for protein precipitation. The supernatant was collected after centrifugation for analysis using LC-MS / MS. The permeability coefficient (Papp) value from the Caco-2 study was determined using the following formula. Papp(cm / s) = (F*VD) / (SA*MD) Here, the flux (F, mass / time) is calculated from the slope of the cumulative amount of the target compound on the receiver side, SA is the surface area of ​​the cell membrane, VD is the volume of the donor, and MD is the initial volume of solution in the donor chamber.

[0236] The outflow ratio from the Caco-2 study was calculated as the ratio of Papp measured in the BA direction to Papp in the AB direction.

[0237] Permeability data for various compounds in this disclosure in Caco-2 cells are shown in Table 3 below. [Table 3]

[0238] The P-gp-mediated transport data for various compounds of this disclosure in Caco-2 cells are shown in Tables 4 and 5 below. [Table 4] [Table 5]

[0239] The efflux ratio of compound 1 at 30 μM is 0.64. In contrast, the efflux ratio of compound 2 at 30 μM is 19. This indicates that compound 2 is a more effective substrate for Pgp transport than compound 1, and that compound 2 is not sufficiently absorbed into the bloodstream. Compound 2 may be a candidate for IV administration or hepatic artery infusion for the treatment of diseases and disorders (e.g., cholangiocarcinoma).

[0240] Furthermore, while compound 1 exhibits a permeability of 11 Pm in Caco-2 cells, compound 2 exhibits a permeability of 0.5 Pm in Caco-2 cells. Considering the slight differences in compound structure, the large difference in permeability and efflux rates between compound 1 and compound 2 is unexpected.

[0241] Example D: Study on the absorption, metabolism, and excretion of Compound 1 in humans. [14C] An open-label study was conducted to evaluate the mass balance, pharmacokinetics, and metabolite profile of a single oral administration of compound 1. [ka]

[0242] Each of the seven male subjects received a single oral dose of 11 mg of compound 1 tablet along with a solution of compound 1 (approximately 250 μCi) after fasting overnight. Blood / plasma, urine, and feces were collected from the participants for 4 to 10 days after administration.

[0243] Human release criteria include the recovery of at least 90% of the administered radioactive dose, and the recovery of less than 1% of the administered radioactive dose in excrement (combined urine and feces) from two consecutive 24-hour urine and fecal collection samples.

[0244] 12.6% of the administered dose was recovered in urine, and 82.4% was recovered in feces. Overall recovery of radioactive decay in urine and feces was 95.1% in a 240-hour study. Rapid absorption was observed, with peaks in total radioactive and plasma compound 1 concentrations occurring approximately 2.0 hours after administration.

[0245] Figure 1 shows the mean cumulative percentage of radioactive doses recovered in urine and feces at specified intervals after a single oral administration of 13 mg (250 μCi) of [14C] compound 1 to healthy male subjects.

[0246] Figure 2 shows the mean radioactivity (nM equivalent) in blood or plasma and the concentration of compound 1 (nM) in plasma after a single oral administration of approximately 13 mg of [14C] compound 1 to fasted healthy male volunteers. The total radioactive decay and half-life of compound 1 in plasma were approximately 10 hours. The ratio of plasma compound 1 concentration to total plasma radioactivity was approximately 0.7, indicating that compound 1 is the major circulating component in plasma. The radioactivity ratio of blood to plasma (approximately 0.8) indicated a low correlation between radioactivity and blood cells.

[0247] As shown below, four minor circulating metabolites (<10% of compound-related substances) were observed. [ka]

[0248] Compound 2-1 is a glucuronide derivative of Compound 2. Compound 2-2 is a sulfonic acid derivative of Compound 2. Compound 1-1 is a keto derivative of Compound 1. The circles surrounding specific parts of the chemical structure indicate options for the attachment of glucuronide, sulfonic acid, and keto groups.

[0249] The percentage doses of each compound isolated from blood / plasma samples are shown in the table below. [Table 6]

[0250] Figure 3 shows the mass spectra of the human circulating metabolites of compound 1.

[0251] 12.6% of the administered dose was recovered in the urine. Two metabolites of compound 1 were isolated from the urine, as shown below. [ka]

[0252] The circles around specific parts of the chemical structure indicate options for the bonding of glucuronide and sulfonic acid groups. The percentage doses of each compound isolated from the urine sample are shown in the table below. [Table 7]

[0253] Figure 4 shows the mass spectrum of the metabolite of compound 1 isolated from urine.

[0254] 82.4% of the administered dose was recovered in the feces. The following metabolites of compound 1 were isolated from the feces. [ka]

[0255] Compound 4-1 is a keto derivative of Compound 4. Compound 2-3 is a keto derivative of Compound 2. Compound 1-2 is a dihydroxylated derivative of Compound 1. Circles surrounding specific parts of the chemical structure indicate options for hydroxyl and keto group bonding.
