Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to compounds which are selective allosteric inhibitors of EGFR mutants comprising T790M / L858R, T790M / L858R / C797S, L858R, and / or L858R / C797S, to their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and to their use as therapeutic active substances.

[0002] The present invention particularly relates to novel compounds of formula (I) TIFF0007840324000001.tif44170[wherein, R , , , , 3 , 4 , , , ,

[0003] and R 2 are independently selected from halogen and hydrogen; R 3 is alkyl or haloalkyl; R 4 is heterocycloalkyl, dialkylaminoalkyl, (alkyl)(halo)heterocycloalkyl, hydroxyalkylheterocycloalkylalkoxy, alkylheterocycloalkyl, hydroxyalkylheterocycloalkylalkylcycloalkyl or alkoxyalkylheterocycloalkyl] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Background Art

[0003] The HER family of receptor tyrosine kinases are mediators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. This receptor family includes four distinct members, namely, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, ErbB1, or HER1), HER2 (ErbB2), HER3 (ErbB3), and HER4 (ErbB4). Upon ligand binding, the receptors form homo- and heterodimers, and subsequent activation of the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity results in receptor autophosphorylation and activation of downstream signaling molecules (Yarden, Y., Sliwkowski, MX. Untangling the ErbB signalling network. Nature Review Mol Cell BiolBiol. Feb;2(2): 127-37). Dysregulation of EGFR by overexpression or mutation is associated with many human cancer types, including colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioma, head and neck cancer, and lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and several EGFR targeting agents have been developed over the years (Ciardiello, F., and Tortora, G. (2008).EGFR antagonists in cancer treatment.The New England journal of medicine 358, 1160-1174). Erlotinib (Tarceva®), a reversible inhibitor of EGFR tyrosine kinase, is approved in many countries as a treatment for recurrent NSCLC.

[0004] In some NSCLC patients whose tumors have somatic kinase domain mutations, significant monotherapy activity of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors is observed, but the clinical benefit is significantly reduced in patients with wild-type EGFR (Paez, J. et al. (2004). EGFR mutations in lung cancer: correspondence with clinical response to gefitinib therapy. Science (New York, NY 304, 1497-1500). The most common somatic mutations in EGFR are exon 19 deletions, with delta 746-750 being the most common mutation, and exon 21 amino acid substitutions, with L858R being the most frequent mutation (Sharma SV, Bell DW, Settleman J, Haber DA. Epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in lung cancer. Nat Rev Cancer. 2007 Mar;7(3):169-81).

[0005] Treatment resistance occurs frequently and is often due to secondary T790M mutations in the receptor's ATP site. While several developed mutant-selective irreversible inhibitors are highly active against T790M mutants, their efficacy may be impaired by acquired mutations in the C797S cysteine ​​residue, which forms the key covalent bond (Thress, K. Set al. Acquired EGFR C797S mutation mediates resistance to AZD9291 in non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR T790M. Nat. Med. 21, 560-562 (2015)). Wang further reported that the C797S mutation is a major mechanism of resistance to T790M-targeted EGFR inhibitors (Wang et al. EGFR C797S mutation mediates resistance to third-generation inhibitors in T790M-positive non-small cell lung cancer. J Hematol Oncol. 2016;9:59). An additional mutation causing resistance to osimertinib has been described by Yang (e.g., L718Q) (Yang et al, Investigating Novel Resistance Mechanisms to Third-Generation EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Osimertinib in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients, Clinical Cancer Research, DOI:10.1158 / 1078-0432.CCR-17-2310). Lu et al (Targeting EGFR L858R / T790M and EGFR L858R / T790M / C797S Resistance mutations in NSCLC: Current developments in medicinal chemistry, Med Res Rev 2018; 1-32) discusses EGFR in the treatment of NSCLC. L858R / T790M and EGFR L858R / T790M / C797SThis report presents a review article on targeting resistance mutations.

[0006] Since the most readily available EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors target the ATP site of the kinase, there is a need for new therapeutic agents that work in different ways, such as targeting drug-resistant EGFR variants.

[0007] Recent studies suggest that intentionally targeting allosteric sites may lead to mutant-selective inhibitors (Jia et al., Overcoming EGFR(T790M) and EGFR(C797S) resistance with mutant-selective allosteric inhibitors, June 2016, Nature 534, 129-132). [Overview of the Initiative]

[0008] Therefore, there is an unmet need for the creation of selective molecules that specifically inhibit EGFR variants, including T790M / L858R, T790M / L858R / C797S, L858R, and / or L858R / C797S, particularly those containing T790M and C797S, which are useful for the treatment and / or prophylactic measures of cancer.

[0009] The compounds of formula (I) described herein have improved EGFR potency and selectivity, as well as improved physicochemical properties, for EGFR variants including T790M / L858R, T790M / L858R / C779S, L858R and / or L858R / C797S, particularly for EGFR variants including T790M and C797S.

In one example, the compound of formula (I) may be formulated by mixing it with a physiologically acceptable carrier, i.e., a carrier that is not toxic to the recipient at doses and concentrations used in the dosage form of herbal medicine, at an appropriate pH and desired purity, at ambient temperature. The pH of the formulation depends mainly on the specific use and the concentration of the compound, but is preferably in the range of about 3 to about 8. In one example, the compound of formula (I) is formulated in an acetate buffer at pH 5. In another embodiment, the compound of formula (I) is sterile. The compound may be stored, for example, as a solid or amorphous composition, as a lyophilized formulation, or as an aqueous solution.

[0051] The composition is formulated, taken, and administered in a manner consistent with appropriate medical practice. Factors to be considered in this regard include the specific disorder being treated, the specific mammal being treated, the individual patient's clinical condition, the cause of the disorder, the site of drug delivery, the method of administration, the schedule of administration, and other factors known to the healthcare professional.

[0052] The compounds of the present invention may be administered by any suitable means, including orally, topically (including buccal and sublingual), rectally, vaginally, percutaneously, parenterally, subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, intrapulmonaryly, intradermally, intrathecally, and epidurally, as well as intranasally, and, if desired for local treatment, intra-focal administration. Parenteral administration includes intramuscular, intravenous, intra-arterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration.

[0053] The compounds of the present invention can be administered in any convenient dosage form, such as tablets, powders, capsules, solutions, dispersions, suspensions, syrups, sprays, suppositories, gels, emulsions, and patches. Such compositions may contain elements common in pharmaceutical preparations, such as diluents, carriers, pH adjusters, sweeteners, fillers, and further activators.

[0054] Typical formulations are prepared by mixing the compound of the present invention with a carrier or excipient. Suitable carriers and excipients are well known to those skilled in the art and are described in detail, for example, Ansel, Howard C., et al., Ansel's Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2004; Gennaro, Alfonso R., et al. Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2000; and Rowe, Raymond C. Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients. Chicago, Pharmaceutical Press, 2005. The formulation may also include one or more buffers, stabilizers, surfactants, wetting agents, lubricants, emulsifiers, suspending agents, preservatives, antioxidants, opaquing agents, flow enhancers, processing aids, colorants, sweeteners, fragrances, flavorings, diluents, and other known additives to provide accurate presentation of a drug (i.e., the compound or its pharmaceutical composition) or to assist in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical product (i.e., a medicine).

[0055] Therefore, the present invention also relates in particular to the following: Compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for use as therapeutic active substances; A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a therapeutically inactive carrier; Compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for use in the treatment or prevention of cancer; Compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for use in the treatment or prevention of non-small cell lung cancer; Compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for use in the treatment or prevention of cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer; The use of compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for the treatment or prevention of cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer; The use of compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for the preparation of medicines for the treatment or prevention of cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer; and A method for the treatment or prevention of cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer, comprising administering an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a patient in need.

[0056] Specific embodiments of the present invention relate to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (I) described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substance.

[0057] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a compound of formula (I) described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for use in the treatment or prevention of cancer characterized by at least one EGFR mutation selected from T790M / L858R, T790M / L858R / C797S, L858R, and L858R / C797S, particularly non-small cell lung cancer.

[0058] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for the treatment or prevention of cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer, in which at least one EGFR mutation selected from T790M / L858R, T790M / L858R / C797S, L858R, and L858R / C797S is present in the cancer, comprising administering an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a patient in need.

[0059] Furthermore, the present invention includes, where applicable, all substituents of the corresponding deuterated form of the compound of formula (I).

[0060] Furthermore, the present invention includes, where applicable, all optical isomers of the compound of formula (I), namely diastereoisomers, diastereoisomer mixtures, racemic mixtures, all their corresponding enantiomers, and / or tautomers, as well as solvated compounds thereof.

[0061] Compounds of formula (I) may contain one or more chiral centers and thus may result in racemates, racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomer mixtures, and individual diastereomers. Depending on the nature of various substituents on the molecule, additional chiral centers may be present. Each of these chiral centers independently produces two optical isomers, and all possible optical isomers and diastereomers as mixtures and pure or partially purified compounds are intended to be included in the present invention. The present invention means that it encompasses all such isomeric forms of these compounds. The independent synthesis of these diastereomers or their chromatographic separation can be achieved as known in the art by appropriate modifications of the methods disclosed herein. Their absolute stereochemistry can be determined, if necessary, by X-ray crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline intermediates derivatized with reagents containing chiral centers of known absolute configuration. If desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds can be separated to isolate the individual enantiomers. Separation can be carried out by methods known in the art, such as coupling a racemic mixture of compounds enantiomerically with pure compounds to form a diastereoisomer mixture, and then separating the individual diastereomers by standard methods such as fractional recrystallization or chromatography.

[0062] In embodiments where an optically pure enantiomer is provided, an optically pure enantiomer means that the compound contains more than 90% by weight of the desired isomer, more specifically more than 95% by weight of the desired isomer, or more specifically more than 99% by weight of the desired isomer, where the weight percentage is based on the total weight of the isomers of the compound. Chiralally pure or chiralally concentrated compounds can be prepared by chiral selective synthesis or by separation of enantiomers. Separation of enantiomers can be performed on the final product or on a suitable intermediate.

[0063] Furthermore, one embodiment of the present invention is a compound of formula (I) described herein, when manufactured according to any one of the processes described herein.

[0064] Compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be used pharmaceutically (for example, in the form of pharmaceutical preparations). Pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention can be administered orally (for example, in the form of tablets, coated tablets, sugar-coated tablets, hard and soft gelatin capsules, solutions, emulsions, or suspensions), intranasally (for example, in the form of nasal sprays), rectally (for example, in the form of suppositories), or topically (for example, in the form of solutions, ointments, gels, or water-soluble polymer inserts). However, administration can also be carried out parenterally, such as intramuscularly, intravenously, or intraocularly (for example, in the form of sterile injection solutions).

[0065] Compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be processed with pharmaceutically inert inorganic or organic adjuvants for the manufacture of tablets, coated tablets, sugar-coated tablets, hard gelatin capsules, injections, or topical formulations.

Generally, for oral administration, the daily dose is approximately 0.1 mg to 20 mg per kg of body weight, preferably approximately 0.5 mg to 4 mg per kg of body weight (e.g., approximately 300 mg per person), preferably administered individually in 1 to 3 divided doses, which, if appropriate, can be composed of equal amounts, for example. For topical administration, the formulation may contain 0.001% to 15% by weight of the drug, and the required amount, which may be between 0.1 mg and 25 mg, may be a single dose per day, a single dose per week, multiple doses per day (2 to 4 times), or multiple doses per week. However, where indicated, it is clear that the upper or lower limits stated herein may be exceeded.

[0073] Pharmaceutical composition Compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be used as therapeutic active substances, for example, in the form of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical preparations can be administered orally, for example, in the form of tablets, coated tablets, sugar-coated tablets, hard gelatin capsules and soft gelatin capsules, solutions, emulsions, or suspensions. However, administration may also be carried out rectally, for example, in the form of suppositories, or parenterally, for example, in the form of injections.

Suitable carriers for soft gelatin capsules include, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, semi-solids, and liquid polyols. However, depending on the properties of the active substance, a carrier is usually not required for soft gelatin capsules. Suitable carrier materials for the manufacture of solutions and syrups include, for example, water, polyols, glycerol, and vegetable oils. Suitable carriers for suppositories include, for example, natural oils or hydrogenated oils, waxes, fats and oils, semi-liquid polyols, or liquid polyols.

[0075] Furthermore, pharmaceutical preparations may contain pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances such as preservatives, solubilizers, stabilizers, humectants, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorings, salts, buffers, masking agents, or antioxidants to alter osmotic pressure. Pharmaceutical preparations may also contain other substances of further therapeutic value.
