Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This specification discloses compounds of formula (I) for inhibiting both wild-type and mutant Bcl-2, as well as methods for using the compounds disclosed herein for the treatment of dysregulated apoptotic diseases. [Background technology]
[0002] The B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) gene family is a group of proteins homologous to the Bcl-2 protein, encoding more than 20 proteins that regulate the endogenous apoptotic pathway. The Bcl-2 family proteins consist of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic molecules and can be classified into the following three subfamilies according to sequence homology within the four BH domains (BH1, BH2, BH3, and BH4): (1) a subfamily that shares sequence homology within all four BH domains, e.g., the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, and Bcl-w; (2) a subfamily that shares sequence homology within BH1, BH2, and BH4, e.g., the pro-apoptotic Bax and Bak; (3) a subfamily that shares sequence homology only within BH3, e.g., the pro-apoptotic Bik, Bid, and HRK. The BH1, BH2, and BH4 domains are required for the anti-apoptotic effect. In contrast, the BH3 domain is essential and is sufficient on its own to promote apoptosis.
[0003] Similar to oncogene toxicity, where tumor cells depend on a single dominant gene for survival, tumor cells may also depend on Bcl-2 for survival. Bcl-2 overexpression is common in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), relapsed / refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), follicular lymphoma (FL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), as well as solid tumors, such as pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and small cell and non-small cell lung cancer (Cancer 2001,92,1122-1129, Cancer Biol.2003;13:115-23, Curr. Cancer Drug Targets 2008,8,207-222, Cancers 2011,3,1527-1549). Dysregulated apoptotic pathways have been linked to the pathology of other important diseases, such as neurodegenerative conditions (upward-regulated apoptosis), e.g., Alzheimer's disease, and proliferative disorders (downward-regulated apoptosis), e.g., cancer, autoimmune diseases, and prothrombotic conditions. Several small molecule BH3 mimetics targeting either Bcl-2 or Bcl-xl have been reported. Some Bcl-2 small molecule inhibitors have been studied at various stages of drug discovery: the Bcl-2 / Bcl-xl inhibitor ABT-263 (Navitocrax, WO2009155386) showed promising clinical activity in lymphoid malignancies, e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia. However, their effectiveness in these settings is limited by platelet death and associated thrombocytopenia caused by Bcl-xl inhibition (Lancet Oncol. 2010, 11, 1149; J. Clin. Oncol. 2011, 29, 909; J. Clin. Oncol. 2012, 30, 488). A new generation of Bcl-2 selective inhibitors, venetoclax (ABT-199 / GDC-0199), has advanced, demonstrating robust activity in these cancers while preserving platelets (Journal of Hematology & Oncology 2015, 8, 129; Clinical Advances in Hematology & Oncology 2017, 15, 210). S55746 (also known as BCL201), APG-101, and APG-1252 are currently being tested in clinical trials.Currently, venetoclax (formerly ABT-199) is the only Bcl-2 selective inhibitor approved by the FDA for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with 17p deletion.
[0004] Despite high clinical activity and a favorable safety profile, patients may gradually develop acquired resistance to venetoclax with continued treatment. Recently, a novel Gly101Val (G101V) mutation in Bcl2 was identified after 19–42 months of treatment with the Bcl-2 inhibitor venetoclax (ABT-199) (Cancer Discov. 2019, 9, 342-353; Haematologica 104, e434-e437, 2019). Blombery et al demonstrated that the Gly101Val mutation in Bcl-2 confers acquired refractory by reducing the binding affinity of venetoclax without interfering with the binding of pro-apoptotic proteins to Bcl-2. The novel Gly101Val mutation in Bcl-2 was not identified at trial enrollment but was identified in 7 out of 15 patients at disease progression. The Bcl-2 Asp103Tyr(D103Y) mutation observed in CLL patients was predicted to interfere with Bcl-2 binding to venetoclax, leading to reduced patient suitability (Haematologica 104,e434-e437,2019). The Bcl-2 Phe104Ile(F104I) mutation in FL (follicular lymphoma) patients treated with venetoclax has also been described as being associated with a significant decrease in venetoclax binding, which is sufficient to confer cellular resistance (Br J Haematol,186(6):e188-e191,2019).
[0005] In addition, wild-type Bcl-2 is important for the survival of neutrophil precursors, and neutropenia was the most common side effect of Bcl-2 inhibitor therapy. In CLL patients treated with venetoclax, the development of neutropenia was commonly observed during dose escalation, but its incidence decreased with longer treatment duration (Clin Cancer Res;24(18),2018). In other words, excessive inhibition of wild-type Bcl-2 protein may lead to on-target toxicity and neutropenic side effects.
[0006] WO2019210828 disclosed a novel class of Bcl-2 inhibitors. There is a strong need for new small molecules that inhibit both wild-type Bcl-2 protein and Bcl-2 mutations, such as G101V and D103Y mutations, seen in patients with disease progression after long-term venetoclax treatment. [Overview of the Initiative] [Means for solving the problem]

This disclosure also offers the potential for novel therapies at effective and safe doses for clinically relapsed patients with mutations after treatment with venetoclax.

[0106] A "diastereomer" refers to a stereoisomer of a compound that has two or more chiral centers but is not a mirror image of each other. A mixture of diastereomers can be separated into their individual diastereomers by methods well known to those skilled in the art based on their physical and chemical differences, for example by chromatography and / or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomer mixture into a diastereomer mixture by reaction with a suitable optically active compound (e.g., a chiral auxiliary, e.g., a chiral alcohol or moscheric acid chloride), separating the diastereomers, and converting the individual diastereoisomers into their corresponding pure enantiomers (e.g., by hydrolysis). Enantiomers can also be separated by the use of a chiral HPLC column.
[0107] A single stereoisomer, for example, a substantially pure enantiomer, can be obtained by the resolution of a racemic mixture using methods such as the formation of a diastereomer with an optically active resolving agent (Eliel, E. and Wilen, S. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1994; Lochmuller, CH, et al. “Chromatographic resolution of enantiomers: Selective review.” J. Chromatogr., 113(3)(1975): pp.283-302). The racemic mixture of the chiral compound of the present invention can be separated and isolated by any preferred method, including (1) the formation of an ionic diastereomer salt with the chiral compound and separation by fractional crystallization or other methods; (2) the formation of a diastereomer compound with a chiral derivatizing reagent, separation of the diastereomer and conversion to a pure stereoisomer; and (3) the direct separation of substantially pure or concentrated stereoisomers under chiral conditions.
