AI Technical Summary
Current treatments for brain metastases, particularly those involving metastatic brain tumors, are limited by the inability of most therapeutic molecules to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB), leading to insufficient efficacy in brain tumors despite effectiveness in peripheral cancers, and existing RET inhibitors often cause side effects due to non-selective kinase inhibition.
Development of a brain-penetrating antitumor agent containing a condensed pyrimidine compound with specific structural features that selectively inhibits RET, enhancing brain penetration and reducing toxicity by minimizing inhibition of other kinases.
The brain-penetrating antitumor agent effectively targets RET in brain tumors, providing therapeutic benefits with reduced side effects by selectively inhibiting RET while minimizing impact on other kinases, thus improving treatment outcomes for brain metastases.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] [Cross-reference of related applications] This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-193073, filed on November 20, 2020 (the entire disclosure thereof is incorporated herein by reference). The present invention relates to an antitumor agent. [Background technology]
[0002] Brain tumors are a type of brain disease, specifically tumors that develop in the intracranial tissues. Brain tumors are divided into primary brain tumors, which originate from brain cells, and metastatic brain tumors, which develop when cancers such as lung cancer or breast cancer metastasize to the brain. Symptomatic metastatic brain tumors are reported to occur in 8-10% of cancer patients, and some reports indicate that brain metastases occur in 40-50% of lung cancer cases at autopsy (Non-Patent Literature 1-3). Primary sites of metastatic brain tumors include lung cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancers (stomach cancer), malignant melanoma, and renal / urinary tract cancers, with lung cancer accounting for approximately half of all cases (Non-Patent Literature 2). Treatment for metastatic brain tumors varies depending on the patient's overall condition, tumor size, and number of metastases. Treatment options include radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, or a combination of these. Generally, surgery is chosen when the primary tumor is controlled, is solitary, and a reasonable survival period is expected. However, tumors that have metastasized into the brain are often intricately intertwined with brain parenchyma and / or nerve tissue, making it difficult to completely remove the tumor surgically. Two types of radiation therapy are known: quantitative radiosurgery (such as gamma knife therapy) and whole-brain irradiation, which irradiates the entire brain. Currently, most treatments for metastatic brain tumors involve a combination of surgery and radiation therapy, but it is difficult to say that these treatments are sufficiently effective (Non-Patent Literature 4, 5). Generally, the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain, is protected from harmful substances by a highly specialized layer of tight junctions called the blood-brain barrier (BBB). One reason why effective drugs have not been developed for many CNS-related diseases is that almost all therapeutic molecules, including antibodies, cannot pass through the BBB. Small molecule compounds are no exception, and some reports indicate that more than 98% of small molecule compounds cannot pass through the BBB (Non-Patent Literature 6). Currently, many compounds have shown efficacy in peripheral cancers (primary tumors), but their efficacy in brain metastases of these cancers is limited. One reason for this is thought to be that these compounds cannot reach the brain in sufficient quantities to exert their effects, and therefore cannot produce the same effect as in the primary tumor (Non-Patent Documents 7, 8).Therefore, in CNS-related diseases and brain tumors, there is a need for the development of small molecule compounds with high brain penetration and methods for their brain penetration. In particular, in the treatment of metastatic brain tumors, there is a demand for drugs that show effective efficacy against primary tumors such as lung cancer, and also show high CNS penetration and efficacy against brain metastases. For example, there are many compounds that have shown efficacy in primary tumors, including compounds with RET inhibitory activity. Here, RET is a receptor tyrosine kinase identified as one of the proto-oncogenes, and it exerts physiological functions via intracellular phosphorylation signaling by binding to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and the GDNF receptor and forming a complex (Non-Patent Literature 9). In normal tissues, it has been reported to contribute to kidney and neurogenesis during the embryonic stage (Non-Patent Literature 10). Furthermore, in lung cancer, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, etc., it has been reported that RET is translocated, mutated, and overexpressed, leading to increased activation and contributing to cell proliferation, tumor formation, or tissue invasion (Non-Patent Literature 11-16). In addition, it has been reported that RET translocation and increased activation levels in these cancers are inversely correlated with prognosis (Non-Patent Literature 17-19), and RET is also known as a poor prognostic factor for cancer.
[0003] Therefore, inhibitors that can control RET activity are considered useful as therapeutic agents for diseases associated with abnormal hyperactivity of the RET signaling pathway.
[0004] For example, in cancers where RET is translocated, mutated, or overexpressed and activated, it is expected that administering a drug that specifically inhibits RET will selectively and intensively suppress the proliferation of cancer cells, which is expected to contribute to the treatment, survival, and improvement of quality of life of cancer patients.
[0005] While several compounds are known to possess RET inhibitory activity, PP1 (Non-Patent Literature 20) is one example. PP1 has a structure in which a p-toluyl group is attached to a fused pyrimidine skeleton. PP1 is known to exhibit high inhibitory activity not only against RET but also against Src (Non-Patent Literature 21), c-Kit, Bcr-Abl (Non-Patent Literature 22, 23), etc. For example, inhibition of Src may cause abnormal bone formation as a side effect, and inhibition of Lck may cause T cell suppression as a side effect (Non-Patent Literature 24, 25). Thus, since multi-kinase inhibitors suppress cell proliferation by inhibiting various signaling pathways in addition to RET, various side effects are a concern. If dose reduction and / or drug-free periods are necessary due to side effects, the RET inhibitory activity may not be fully exerted. From the perspective of reducing side effects, there is a need for an RET inhibitor that has high inhibitory activity against RET while having low inhibitory activity against other kinases. However, to date, no drug has been reported that exhibits strong RET inhibitory effect and good brain penetration. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[Examples]
[0088] In the following examples, percentages (%) indicate mass percentages unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified, the reagents used in the examples were commercially available products. The meanings of the abbreviations are shown below. PBS: Phosphate-buffered saline LC-MS / MS: Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometer HPMC: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose
[0089] Test Example 1: Evaluation of plasma protein binding and brain protein binding The compounds shown in Tables 1-4 were added to mouse plasma to a final concentration of 1 μmol / L. The resulting compound-added mouse plasma was added to the donor side of an equilibrium dialysis device (HTDialysis) equipped with an equilibrium dialysis membrane. The same amount of PBS was added to the receiver side of the device, and after incubation for 6 hours in a 10% CO2 incubator, the compounds on both the donor and receiver sides were detected by LC-MS / MS. The non-binding rate of the compounds to plasma proteins was calculated from the ratio of the compound peak areas on the receiver side to those on the donor side. The non-binding rate of the compound to brain proteins was calculated in the same manner as described above, except that the compound was added to mouse brain homogenate instead of mouse plasma, and the dilution ratio was taken into consideration when calculating the non-binding rate. Here, the mouse brain homogenate was obtained by adding three times the amount of PBS to mouse brain and then homogenizing it using an ultrasonic homogenizer.
[0090] Test Example 2: Evaluation of Brain Transition The compounds shown in Tables 1-4 were dissolved or suspended in 0.5% HPMC and 0.1N hydrochloric acid solution and administered orally as a single dose to BALB / cAJcl-nu / nu mice (Claire Japan Co., Ltd.) that were untreated, subcutaneously transplanted with TT cells, or subcutaneously transplanted with the BaF3 / KIF5B-RET_RFP cell line. One hour after oral administration, blood was collected from the inferior vena cava under isoflurane anesthesia, and the whole brain was excised to obtain blood and brain samples. The obtained blood samples were centrifuged to obtain plasma samples. Three times the volume of water was added to the obtained brain samples, and homogenization was performed using an ultrasonic homogenizer to obtain brain homogenates. The compound concentrations in the obtained plasma and brain homogenates were measured by LC-MS / MS, and the brain compound concentration was calculated by multiplying by a coefficient of 4. The Kp value was calculated from the brain / plasma compound concentration ratio. The unbound compound concentrations in plasma and brain were calculated from the plasma protein unbound rate and brain protein unbound rate of each compound obtained in Test Example 1, and the Kp,uu values were calculated from the brain / plasma unbound compound concentration ratio. Brain permeability was evaluated from the calculated Kp values and Kp,uu values (Tables 1-4). Specifically, a Kp value of 0.1 or higher was judged to indicate brain permeability, and a Kp,uu value of 0.3 or higher was judged to indicate good brain permeability (Varadharajan, S., et al. (2015) J Pharm Sci 104, 1197-1206). In Table 4, "N / A" for Kp,uu values means that it was not measured.
[0091] The results shown in Tables 1-4 indicate that compound (I) exhibited high Kp and Kp,uu values, demonstrating good brain permeability.
[0092] [Table 1] [Table 2] [Table 3] [Table 4]
[0093] Test Example 3: Evaluation of drug efficacy in a brain tumor transplantation model. Antitumor evaluations were performed in a model in which tumors were transplanted into the brain. The compounds shown in Examples 2 and 4 (Table 1) and Example 13 (Table 3) were confirmed to have inhibitory effects on the growth of the transplanted tumors. To confirm the growth inhibitory effect, NIH / 3T3 cells (NIH / 3T3_CCDC6-RET cells) in which luciferase and CCDC6-RET fusion protein were forcibly expressed via gene transfer were used. Six-week-old male nude mice (BALB / cAJcl-nu / nu, CLEA Japan) were fixed to a stereotactic device, and 2.5 × 10⁶ cells were placed per mouse at a location 0.5 mm anterior to the bregma, 2–2.2 mm to the right, and 3.5 mm deep. 4 Individual cells were transplanted. Day 0 was designated as the transplantation day, and on Day 4, luciferin (150 mg / kg) was administered intraperitoneally. Luminescence (photons / sec) was measured using the IVIS Imaging System (Lumina II, PerkinElmer). Based on the measured luminescence, animals were assigned to four groups (N=10) so that the average luminescence in each group was similar (the Control group was evaluated as N=9 due to one accidental death). The compound was administered twice daily for 16 consecutive days starting the following day (Day 5). The compound was suspended in 0.5% HPMC / 0.1N hydrochloric acid and administered orally at a dose of 50 mg / kg / day. To confirm tumor growth, the amount of luminescence was measured at intervals of 3 or 4 days using the method described above. The tumor growth inhibitory effect of the compound was confirmed on the day following the final administration (Day 21). However, since a humane endpoint based on tumor growth was applied in the control group (no drug administration), statistical evaluation was performed using Dunnett's test with the measurements taken on Day 14.
[0094] Figure 1 shows the temporal changes in luminescence, and Figure 2 shows the changes in body weight. In the control group, an increase in luminescence was observed, suggesting that the transplanted tumor had grown. In addition, weight loss was observed, which is thought to be due to tumor growth. By Day 19, all animals had shown weight loss, and it was determined that it was impossible to continue the study, so the humanitarian endpoint was applied. On the other hand, in the compound administration groups, no significant increase in luminescence was observed with any of the compounds, suggesting that tumor growth was suppressed. Statistical analysis of luminescence at Day 14 showed a significant difference (*: p<0.05) in all compound administration groups compared to the control group. From this, it was considered that compound administration had a significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth. Furthermore, in the compound administration groups, all animals were able to complete administration until Day 22, suggesting that compound administration may also have a life-extending effect. These results suggest that administering compounds that exhibit brain penetration significantly suppresses the proliferation of tumor cells transplanted into the brain, and that a life-extending effect can also be expected.
