Background Art

[0003] The first RAS oncogene was named as such because it was discovered in rat sarcoma. The RAS protein is a product expressed by the RAS gene and is a closely related monomeric globulin consisting of 189 amino acids with a molecular weight of 21 kDa. This protein can bind to guanosine triphosphate (GTP) or guanosine diphosphate (GDP). The activity state of the RAS protein influences cell growth, differentiation, the cytoskeleton, protein transport, and secretion, and its activity is regulated by its binding to GTP or GDP. The RAS protein is dormant, or inactive, when bound to GDP; however, when a specific upstream cell growth factor is stimulated, the RAS protein is induced to exchange GDP and bind to GTP, at which point it is called activated. The RAS protein bound to GTP can activate downstream proteins and transmit signals. The RAS protein itself possesses weak hydrolytic activity that hydrolyzes GTP, allowing it to hydrolyze GTP to GDP. This enables the conversion from an activated state to an inactive state. In this hydrolysis process, the involvement of GAP (GTPase activating proteins) is also necessary. GAP acts with the RAS protein and can greatly enhance its ability to hydrolyze GTP to GDP. Mutations in the RAS protein affect its interaction with GAP, i.e., its ability to hydrolyze GTP to GDP, keeping the RAS protein in an activated state. The activated RAS protein continues to provide growth signals to downstream proteins, ultimately causing cells to constantly grow and differentiate, eventually leading to tumor formation. The RAS gene family has many members, and among them, the subfamilies closely associated with various cancers mainly include the Kirsten rat sarcoma virus oncogene homolog (KRAS), the Harvey rat sarcoma virus oncogene homolog (HRAS), and the neuroblastoma rat sarcoma virus oncogene homolog (NRAS).Approximately 30% of human tumors are associated with mutations in certain RAS genes, with KRAS mutations being the most prominent, accounting for 86% of all RAS mutations. Regarding KRAS mutations, the most common occurrences are at the 12th glycine (G12), 13th glycine (G13), and 61st glutamine (Q61) residues, with G12 mutations accounting for 83% of these.

[0004] The G12C mutation is one of the relatively common mutations in the KRAS gene, in which the 12th glycine molecule is replaced with cysteine. The KRAS G12C mutation is the most common in lung cancer, and based on data reported in the literature (Nat Rev Drug Discov 2014;13:828-851), it is estimated to account for approximately 10% of all lung cancer patients.

[0005] The KRAS G12C mutant protein is a cutting-edge target, and there is still not much research on it. One publication (Nature. 2013; 503: 548-551) reports a type of covalent inhibitor targeting the KRAS G12C mutation, but the enzymatic activity of this type of compound is not high, and it does not exhibit significant activity at the cellular level. Another publication (Science 2016; 351: 604-608, Cancer Discov 2016; 6: 316-29) reports that one type of compound exhibits μM-class cell antiproliferative activity at the cellular level, but its structural and metabolic stability is low, making it difficult to further enhance its activity. Aside from a few literature reports, Araxes Pharma LLC has filed several patents related to KRAS G12C inhibitors. For example, International Publication Nos. 2016164675 and 2016168540 report that a certain type of quinazoline derivative has high enzyme-binding activity, exhibits μM-class cell antiproliferative activity, is structurally stable, and has a certain degree of selectivity. All of these compounds have a single acrylamide fragment and act as a Michael addition acceptor and a G12C residue on the KRAS protein to form a covalent complex. In 2018, Liu Yi et al. disclosed ARS-1620, a covalent inhibitor targeting KRAS G12C mutations, in Cell (Matthew R. Janes, Yi Liu et al., Cell, 2018, 172, 578-589). This compound possesses excellent metabolic stability, exhibits nM-class cellular antiproliferative activity at the cellular level, and can effectively suppress tumor growth in a pancreatic cancer MIA-Paca2 cell subcutaneous xenograft tumor model. In the second half of 2018, Amgen began recruiting participants for a Phase I clinical trial of the KRAS G12C inhibitor AMG 510 (NCT03600883). This is the first organic small molecule KRAS G12C inhibitor to enter clinical research. At the 2019 AACR meeting, the structural formula of AMG 510 and some pre-clinical research data were released.At the 2019 ASCO conference, the results of an early Phase I clinical trial of AMG 510 were presented, showing that AMG 510 achieved a 90% disease control rate against disease progression after chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer patients with KRAS G12C mutations. In addition, recruitment of Phase I clinical trial participants (NCT03785249) for MRTX849, a KRAS G12C inhibitor developed by Mirati Therapeutics, began in January 2019, and representative patents include International Publication No. 2017201161 and International Publication No. 2019099524.
