Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] Field of the present invention This invention relates to tricyclic heterocyclic compounds. These heterocyclic compounds are useful as TEAD binders and / or inhibitors of YAP-TEAD protein-protein interaction or binding, as well as for the prevention and / or treatment of several medical conditions, including hyperproliferative disorders and diseases, particularly cancer. [Background technology]

[0002] Background of the present invention In recent years, the Hippo pathway has become an interesting target for the treatment of hyperproliferative disorders and diseases, particularly cancer (SASmith et al., J.Med.Chem.2019, 62, 1291-1305; KCLin et al., Annu.Rev.Cancer Biol.2018, 2:59-79; C.-L.Kim et al., Cells(2019), 8, 468; KFHarvey et al., Nature Reviews Cancer, Vol.13, 246-257(2013)). The Hippo pathway regulates cell growth, proliferation, and migration. In mammals, the Hippo pathway is thought to act as a tumor suppressor, and dysfunction of Hippo signaling is frequently observed in human cancers.

[0003] Furthermore, while the Hippo pathway plays a role in several biological processes—including the self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells and progenitor cells, wound healing and tissue regeneration, and interactions with other signaling pathways such as Wnt—its dysfunction can also play a role in human diseases other than cancer (C.-L. Kim et al., Cells (2019), 8, 468; Y. Xiao et al., Genes & Development (2019) 33:1491-1505; KF Harvey et al., Nature Reviews Cancer, Vol. 13, 246-257 (2013)).

[0004] While several aspects of the pathway's activity and regulation still require further investigation, it is already established that in its "switched-on" state, the Hippo pathway involves a cascade of kinases (including Mst 1 / 2 and Lats 1 / 2) in the cytoplasm, leading to the phosphorylation of two transcriptional coactivators: YAP (Yes-related protein) and TAZ (a transcriptional coactivator with a PDZ-binding motif). Phosphorylation of YAP / TAZ sequesters them in the cytoplasm, ultimately leading to their degradation. In contrast, when the Hippo pathway is "switched-off" or dysfunctional, the unphosphorylated activated YAP / TAZ coactivators are translocated into the cell nucleus. The main target transcription factors are four proteins from the Transcriptional Enhanced Associate Domain (TEAD) transcription factor family (TEAD1-4). The binding of YAP or TAZ to TEAD (or other transcription factors) and the activation of TEAD (or other transcription factors) have been shown to induce the expression of several genes (many of which mediate cell survival and proliferation). Therefore, activated non-phosphorylated YAP and TAZ can act as oncogenes, while the activated, switch-on Hippo pathway can act as a tumor suppressor by inactivating (i.e., phosphorylating) YAP and TAZ.

[0005] Furthermore, the Hippo pathway may also play a role in the resistance mechanisms of cancer cells to oncology and immuno-oncology therapy (R. Reggiani et al., BBA - Reviews on Cancer 1873(2020)188341,1-11).

[0006] As a result, dysfunction or abnormal regulation of the Hippo pathway as a tumor suppressor is thought to be an important event in the development of a variety of cancer types and diseases.

[0007] Therefore, inhibition of the protein-protein interactions of YAP, TAZ, TEAD, and YAP-TEAD or TAZ-TEAD by pharmacological intervention appears to be a rational and valuable strategy for preventing and / or treating cancers and other hyperproliferative disorders and diseases associated with Hippo pathway dysfunction.

[0099] The term "alkylene" refers to a divalent aliphatic group, particularly a divalent alkyl group. An "alkylene chain" is a polymethylene group, i.e., -(CH2) x -where x is a positive integer, preferably 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. In the context of this invention, "C 1~3 -Alkylene refers to alkylene moieties having one, two, and three -CH2- groups, respectively; however, the term "alkylene" includes not only linear alkylene groups, i.e., "alkylene chains," but also branched alkylene groups. 1~6-Alkylene refers to an alkylene portion that is either linear, i.e., an alkylene chain, or branched, and has one, two, three, four, five, or six carbon atoms. 2~6 -Alkylene refers to an alkylene moiety that has 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 carbon atoms, while "C 3~4 -Alkylene refers to an alkylene portion that has 3 or 4 carbon atoms, and "C 2~3 "-Alkylene" refers to an alkylene moiety having two or three carbon atoms. A substituted alkylene chain is a polymethylene group in which one or more methylene hydrogen atoms are replaced by substituents (or by substituents). Preferred substituents include those described herein for substituted alkyl groups. In some cases, one or two methylene groups of the alkylene chain are, for example, O, S, and / or NH, or NC. 1~4 -The alkylene groups may be replaced by alkyl groups. Examples of alkylene groups are -CH2-, -CH2-CH2-, -CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-, -O-CH2-CH2-CH2-, -CH2-O-CH2-CH2-, -O-CH2-O-, -O-CH2-CH2-O-, -O-CH2-CH2-CH2-O-, -CH2-NH-CH2-CH2-, and -CH2-N(CH3)-CH2-CH2-.

[0100] The term "alkenylene" refers to a divalent alkenyl group. A substituted alkenylene chain is a polymethylene group containing at least one double bond in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by substituents. Preferred substituents include those described herein for substituted aliphatic groups. The term "alkenylene" refers not only to linear divalent alkenylene radicals, i.e., alkenylene chains, but also to branched alkenylene groups. 2~6 -Alkenylene refers to an alkenylene radical having 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 carbon atoms.

[0101] The term "alkynylene" refers to a divalent alkynyl group. A substituted alkynylene chain is a polymethylene group containing at least one triple bond in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by substituents. Preferred substituents include those described herein for substituted aliphatic groups.

[0102] The term "halogen" refers to F, Cl, Br, or I.

[0103] The term "heteroatom" means one or more oxygen (O), sulfur (S), or nitrogen (N) atoms, including any oxidized form of nitrogen or sulfur, e.g., N-oxides, sulfoxides, and sulfones; and also includes quaternized forms of basic or substituteable nitrogen atoms in heterocyclic or heteroaromatic rings, e.g., N (as seen in 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrolyl), NH (as seen in pyrrolidinyl), or N-SUB (as seen in N-substituted pyrrolidinyl), where SUB is a preferred substituent.

[0104] The term “aryl,” used alone or as part of a larger term such as “aralkyl,” “aralkoxy,” or “aryloxyalkyl,” refers to monocyclic, dicyclic, and tricyclic ring systems having a total of 5 to 14 ring members (the ring members being carbon atoms), where at least one ring in the system is aromatic, i.e., it has (4n+2) π (pi) electrons (where n is an integer selected from 0, 1, 2, and 3), and those electrons are delocalized across the system, and where each ring in the system contains 3 to 7 ring members. Preferably, all rings or the entire ring system in the aryl system are aromatic. The term “aryl” is used interchangeably with the term “aryl ring.” In some embodiments of the present invention, “aryl” refers to an “aromatic ring system.” More specifically, these aromatic ring systems may be monocyclic, dicyclic, or tricyclic, having 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 ring carbon atoms. Even more specifically, these aromatic ring systems may be monocyclic or bicyclic, having 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 ring carbon atoms. Exemplary aryl groups include phenyl, biphenyl, naphthyl, anthrasyl, etc., which may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more identical or different substituents. Also included within the scope of the terms “aryl” or “aromatic ring system” are aromatic ring groups condensed with one or more non-aromatic rings, such as indanyl, phthalimidyl, naphthimidyl, phenantridinyl, or tetrahydronaphthyl, as used herein. In the latter case, the "aryl" group or substituent is attached to its pendant group via the aromatic moiety of the ring system.

[0105] The term "benzo" refers to a six-membered aromatic ring (containing a carbocyclic atom) fused to another ring via two adjacent carbon atoms, which may be a cycloaliphatic, aromatic, heteroaromatic, or heterocyclic (heteroaliphatic) ring; as a result, a ring system is formed with at least two rings, in which the benzo ring shares two common carbon atoms with the other ring to which it is fused. For example, when a benzo ring is fused with a phenyl ring, a naphthalene ring system is formed, while when a benzo ring is fused with pyridine, either quinoline or isoquinoline is provided; and when a benzo ring is fused with a cyclopentene ring, an indene ring is provided.

[0106] The terms "heteroaryl" and "heteroar-", used alone or as part of a larger phrase, for example, "heteroaralkyl" or "heteroaralkoxy", refer to groups having 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 ring atoms (the atoms being carbon atoms and heteroatoms), preferably 5, 6, 9, or 10 ring atoms; having 6, 10, or 14 π (pi) electrons shared in a cyclic array; and having 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 heteroatoms in addition to carbon atoms. The term "heteroatom" refers to nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, encompassing any oxidized form of nitrogen or sulfur, and any quaternized form of basic nitrogen. In other words, a "heteroaryl" ring or ring system may also be described as an aromatic heteroring. Heteroaryl groups include, without limitation, thienyl, furanyl, pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, flazanyl, pyridyl (pyridinyl), pyridadinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, indolidinyl, prinyl, naphthyridinyl, pteridinyl, and pyrrolopyridinyl, particularly pyrrolopyridinyl. The terms “heteroaryl” and “heteroar-” also, as used herein, include groups in which a heteroaromatic ring is condensed with one or more aryl rings, cycloaliphatic rings, or heterocyclyl rings, where the radical or attachment site is preferably on the heteroaromatic ring, or on the aryl ring, if present. Non-limiting examples include indolyl, isoindolyl, benzothienyl (benzothiophenyl), benzofuranil, dibenzofuranil, indazolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzothiazolyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, sinnolinyl, phthalazinyl, quinazolinil, quinoxalinyl, 4H-quinolidinyl, carbazolyl, acridinyl, phenazinyl, phenothiazinyl, phenoxazinyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, 9H-carbazolyl, dibenzofuranil, and pyrido[2,3-b]-1,4-oxazine-3(4H)-one.For example, the indolyl ring may be attached via one ring atom of a six-membered aryl ring or via one ring atom of a five-membered heteroaryl ring. The heteroaryl group is optionally mono-, di-, or tricyclic. The term “heteroaryl” is used interchangeably with the terms “heteroaryl ring,” “heteroaryl group,” or “heteroaromatic,” all of which include an unsubstituted ring or a ring substituted with one or more identical or different substituents. The term “heteroaralkyl” refers to an alkyl group substituted with a heteroaryl, where the alkyl and heteroaryl moieties may be optionally substituted independently.

[0107] A heteroaryl ring can be attached to its pendant group by either its heterocyclic or carbocyclic atoms, and this attachment results in a stable structure or molecule: either the ring atoms are unsubstituted or substituted.

[0108] A typical example structure of a "heteroaryl" substituent, when used in the present invention, is shown below: [ka]

[0109] [ka]

[0110] [ka]

[0111] [ka]

[0112] These heteroaryl substituents can attach to any of the pendant groups, but via one of the ring atoms that is suitable for such attachment.

[0113] As used herein, the terms “heterocyclic,” “heterocyclyl,” “heterocyclic radical,” and “heterocyclic ring” are used interchangeably and refer to a stable mono-, di-, or tricyclic heterocyclic portion having 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 ring atoms, where 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the ring atoms are heteroatoms, and where the heterocyclic portion is either saturated or partially unsaturated; heterocyclic portions that are aromatic rings or cyclic systems are usually referred to as “heteroaryl” portions as described herein. Preferably, the heterocyclic portion is a stable saturated or partially unsaturated 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-membered monocyclic, or a 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, or 11-membered bicyclic, or an 11-, 12-, 13-, or 14-membered tricyclic.

[0114] When used in reference to ring atoms of heterocycles, the term "nitrogen" includes substituted nitrogen. For example, in saturated or partially unsaturated rings having 1 to 3 heteroatoms selected from oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen, nitrogen can be N (as seen in 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrolyl), NH (as seen in pyrrolidinyl), or N-SUB (as seen in N-substituted pyrrolidinyl), where SUB is a preferred substituent.

[0115] In the context of the term "heterocyclic," the term "saturated" refers to fully saturated heterocyclic systems such as pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, morpholinyl, piperidinonyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, thianyl, and dioxothianyl. With respect to the term "heterocyclic," the term "partially unsaturated" refers to (i) heterocyclic systems that contain one or more unsaturated units (e.g., C=C or C=heteroatomic bonds) but are not aromatic (e.g., tetrahydropyridinyl); or (ii) heterocyclic systems in which a heterocyclic ring (either saturated or unsaturated but not aromatic) is fused with an aromatic ring system or a heteroaromatic ring system, where, however, the "partially unsaturated heterocyclic" is attached to the remaining molecule (its pendant group) via one of the ring atoms of the "heterocyclic" part of the system, but without the presence of either an aromatic or heteroaromatic part. This first class (i) of “partially unsaturated” heterocycles is also sometimes referred to as “non-aromatic partially unsaturated” heterocycles. This second class (ii) of “partially unsaturated” heterocycles is also sometimes referred to as “partially aromatic” heterocycles (bicyclic or tricyclic), meaning that at least one of the rings in the heterocycle is a saturated or unsaturated but non-aromatic heterocycle fused with at least one aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system. Typical examples of these “partially aromatic” heterocycles are 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolinyl and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolinyl.

[0116] The heterocyclic ring may be attached to its pendant group by any heteroatom or carbon atom that provides a stable structure, and any of the ring atoms may be unsubstituted or substituted. Examples of such heterocyclic radicals, saturated or partially unsaturated, include, but are not limited to, tetrahydrofuranil, tetrahydropyranil, thianil, dioxothianil, tetrahydrothiophenyl, pyrrolidinil, piperidinil, pyrrolinil, morpholinil, tetrahydroquinolinil, tetrahydroisoquinolinil, decahydroquinolinil, oxazolidinil, piperazinil, dioxanil, dioxolanil, diazepinyl, oxazepinyl, thiazepinyl, morpholinil, and quinuclidinyl. The terms “heterocyclic,” “heterocyclyl,” “heterocyclyl ring,” “heterocyclic group,” “heterocyclic moiety,” and “heterocyclic radical” are used interchangeably herein and also include groups in which a heterocyclyl ring is fused with one or more aryl, heteroaryl, or cycloaliphatic rings (such as indolinyl, 3H-indolyl, chromanyl, phenantridinyl, or tetrahydroquinolinyl, where the radical or attachment site is on the heterocyclyl ring). The heterocyclyl group is optionally monocyclic, dicyclic, or tricyclic. The term “heterocyclylalkyl” refers to an alkyl group substituted with a heterocyclyl, where the alkyl moiety and the heterocyclyl moiety are independently unsubstituted or substituted.

[0117] The term "biological equivalent," when used alone or in combination with other terms (e.g., "biological equivalent radical"), refers to a compound or group, radical, moiety, substituent, etc., that produces similar biological effects to another compound, group, radical, moiety, or substituent, but is structurally different from one another. More broadly, a "biological equivalent" can be understood as a compound or group that has nearly identical molecular shape and volume, approximately the same electron distribution, and exhibits similar physical properties. A typical example of a biological equivalent is a biological equivalent of a carboxylic acid that exhibits similar physicochemical properties to a carboxylic acid group ("biological equivalent of a carboxylic acid"). When the group or radical of such a carboxylic acid biological equivalent is used in place of the group or radical of the carboxylic acid, it provides similar properties to a carboxyl group, but may also exhibit some potentially different properties compared to the carboxylic acid group (e.g., reduced polarity, increased lipophilicity, or enhanced pharmacokinetic properties). Typical examples of biological equivalents of carboxylic acids, though not limited to these, include -CN, fluoro, amide, sulfonamide, sulfonimide, and several aromatic and non-aromatic heterocycles, such as hydroxylated isoxazoles, sulfonamide-substituted oxadiazoles and oxo-oxadiazoles, for example, 5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole, and especially tetrazoles, for example, 1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazole and 2-methyl-2H-1,2,3,4-tetrazole.

[0118] The term "unsaturated" as used herein means that a part, group, or substituent has one or more unsaturated units.

[0119] When used herein in reference to any ring, ring system, ring portion, etc., the term “partially unsaturated” refers to a ring portion containing at least one double or triple bond. The term “partially unsaturated” is intended to encompass rings having multiple unsaturated moieties. In particular, it encompasses (i) unsaturated (mono-, di-, or tricyclic) ring systems that have no aromatic or heteroaromatic moieties or portions; and (ii) di- or tricyclic ring systems (e.g., tetrahydronaphthyl or tetrahydroquinolinyl) in which one of the rings in the system is an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring fused with another ring that is neither an aromatic nor a heteroaromatic ring. The first class (i) is sometimes referred to as “partially unsaturated” rings, ring systems, or ring parts, while the second class (ii) is sometimes referred to as “partially aromatic” rings, ring systems, or ring parts.

[0120] As used herein, the terms “bicyclic,” “bicyclic ring,” or “bicyclic ring system” refer to any bicyclic ring system, i.e., carbocyclic or heterocyclic, saturated or having one or more unsaturated units (i.e., partially unsaturated or aromatic), and having one or more atoms common to the two rings of the ring system. Thus, the terms encompass any acceptable ring condensation, such as ortho condensation or spirocyclic. As used herein, the term “heterobicyclic” is a subset of “bicyclic,” requiring that one or more heteroatoms be present in one or both rings of the bicyclic structure. Such heteroatoms may be present in ring junctions, may be optionally substituted, and may be selected from nitrogen (including N-oxide), oxygen, sulfur (including oxidized forms such as sulfones and sulfonates), phosphorus (including oxidized forms such as phosphates), boron, and so on. In some embodiments, a bicyclic group has 7 to 12 ring members and, independently, 0 to 4 heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur. Similarly, the terms “tricyclic,” “tricyclic ring,” or “tricyclic ring system” refer to any tricyclic ring system, i.e., carbocyclic or heterocyclic, saturated or having one or more unsaturated units (i.e., partially unsaturated or aromatic), in which a bicyclic ring system (as defined above) is fused with another, third ring. Thus, the terms encompass any acceptable ring fusion. As used herein, the term “heterotricyclic” is a subset of “tricyclic,” requiring that one or more heteroatoms be present in one or both of the three rings. Such heteroatoms may be present at ring junctions, may be optionally substituted, and may be selected from nitrogen (including N-oxide), oxygen, sulfur (including oxidized forms such as sulfones and sulfonates), phosphorus (including oxidized forms such as phosphates), boron, and so on. In some embodiments, the tricyclic group has 10 to 14 ring members and, independently, 0 to 5 heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur.

[0121] As described herein, some compounds of the present invention contain a “substituted” moiety or an “optionally substituted” moiety. Generally, the term “substituted” means that one or more hydrogens of a given moiety are replaced by a preferred substituent, whether preceded by the term “optionally.” “Substituted” applies to one or more hydrogens from a structure, whether explicit or implicit. Unless otherwise indicated, a “substituted” group or an “optionally substituted” group has preferred substituents at each of its substituted positions, and when more than one position in any given structure is substituted by more than one substituent selected from a particular group, the substituents are either the same or different at each position. If a group, substituent, moiety, or radical is “single substituted,” it has one (1) substituent. If it is “disubstituted / is disubstituted,” it has two (2) substituents that are either the same or different; if it is “trisubstituted / is trisubstituted,” it has three (3) substituents, where all three are the same, two are the same and the third is different, or all three are different from each other. The substituent combinations envisioned by the present invention are preferably combinations of substituents that result in the formation of a stable or chemically feasible compound. The term “stable,” as used herein, means a compound that is substantially unchanged when subjected to conditions that enable their production, detection, and, in some embodiments, their recovery, purification, and use for one or more purposes of disclosure herein.

[0127] The term "solvate" refers to the addition form of the compound of the present invention with a solvent, preferably a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent containing either a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of the solvent. Some compounds tend to trap solvent molecules in a fixed molar ratio in a crystalline solid state, thereby forming solvates. When the solvent is water, the solvate formed is a hydrate, e.g., a semi-, mono-, or dihydrate. When the solvent is an alcohol, the solvate formed is an alcoholate, e.g., a methanolate or ethanolate. When the solvent is an ether, the solvate formed is an etherate, e.g., a diethyl etherate.

[0128] The term "N-oxide" refers to such compounds of the present invention that contain an amine oxide moiety, i.e., an oxide of a tertiary amine group.

[0129] Compounds represented by formulas IA and I may have one or more chirality centers, depending on the properties of the substituents they may support. These may consequently result in various enantiomers and diastereomers, and in some cases (as the case may be, and be) racemic or optically active forms. Therefore, the present invention also relates to optically active forms, enantiomers, racemic compounds, diastereomers, and mixtures thereof in any ratio, collectively referred to for the purposes of the present invention as "stereoisomers" of these compounds. Since the pharmaceutically active properties of racemic compounds or stereoisomers of compounds according to the present invention may differ, it may be desirable to use a specific stereoisomer, for example, one specific enantiomer or diastereomer. In these cases, the compounds according to the present invention obtained as racemic compounds—or even intermediates thereof—may be separated into stereoisomeric (enantiomeric, diastereomeric) compounds by chemical or physical means known to those skilled in the art. Another approach that may be applied to obtain one or more specific stereoisomers of the compounds of the present invention in concentrated or pure forms is to use a stereoselective synthetic procedure, for example, by applying a starting material in a stereoisomerically concentrated or pure form (for example, by using a pure or concentrated (R)- or (S)-enantiomer of a specific starting material having a chiral center), or by utilizing a chiral reagent or catalyst, in particular an enzyme. In the context of the present invention, the term “pure enantiomer” usually refers to the relative purity of one enantiomer to the other enantiomer (its counterpart), which is equal to or greater than 95%, preferably ≥98%, more preferably ≥98.5%, and even more preferably ≥99%.

[0130] Therefore, for example, compounds of the present invention having one or more chiral centers and existing as racemic compounds or as mixtures of enantiomers or diastereoisomers can be fractionated or separated into their optically pure or concentrated isomers, i.e., enantiomers or diastereomers, by methods known to the present. Separation of the compounds of the present invention can be performed by chromatography, for example, by column separation on a chiral or non-chiral phase, by recrystallization from any optically active solvent, by the use of an optically active acid or base, or by derivatization with an optically active reagent (e.g., an optically active alcohol) followed by radical elimination.

[0131] In the context of the present invention, the term "tautomer" refers to a compound of the present invention that may exist in tautomer form and may exhibit tautomerism; for example, carbonyl compounds may exist in their keto form and / or their enol form and may exhibit keto-enol tautomerism. These tautomers may exist in their individual forms, e.g., in keto or enol form, or as mixtures thereof, and are claimed individually and together as mixtures of any proportion. The same applies to cis / trans isomers, E / Z isomers, conformer isomers, etc.

[0132] In one embodiment, the compounds of the present invention are in the form of a free base or acid—in some cases—that is, in their non-salted (or salt-free) form. In another embodiment, the compounds of the present invention are in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

[0133] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt prepared from a pharmaceutically acceptable base or acid, including inorganic bases or acids and organic bases or acids. Where a compound of the present invention contains one or more acidic or basic groups, the present invention also includes the corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Thus, compounds of the present invention containing acidic groups such as carboxyl groups may exist in the form of salts, which, according to the present invention, can be used, for example, as alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, aluminum salts, or ammonium salts. More precise examples of such salts include lithium salts, sodium salts, potassium salts, calcium salts, magnesium salts, barium salts, or salts with ammonia, or salts with organic amines such as ethylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, piperidine, N-methylglutamine, or amino acids. These salts are readily available, for example, by reacting compounds having acidic groups with suitable bases, such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium propoxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium ethoxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, or barium hydroxide. Other basic salts of the compounds of the present invention include, but are not limited to, salts of copper(I), copper(II), iron(II), iron(III), manganese(II), and zinc. Compounds of the present invention containing one or more basic groups, such as protonable groups, may exist in the form of salts and, according to the present invention, may be used in the form of inorganic or organic acids of their addition salts. Examples of suitable acids include hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen iodide, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, sulfoacetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, oxalic acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, carbonic acid, formic acid, propionic acid, pivalic acid, diethylacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, pimelic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, embonic acid, mandelic acid, sulfamic acid, phenylpropionic acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, isonicotinic acid, citric acid, adipic acid, taurocholic acid, glutaric acid, stearic acid, glutamic acid or aspartic acid, and other acids known to those skilled in the art.The salts formed include, among others, hydrochloride, chloride, hydrobromide, bromide, iodide, sulfate, phosphate, methanesulfonate (mesylate), tosylate, carbonate, bicarbonate, formate, acetate, sulfoacetate, trifluate, oxalate, malonate, maleate, succinate, tartrate, malate, embonate, mandelate, fumarate, lactate, citrate, glutaric acid, stearate, aspartate, and glutamate. Furthermore, the stoichiometry of the salts formed from the compounds of the present invention may be an integer multiple of 1 or a non-integer multiple.

[0134] The compounds of the present invention containing a basic nitrogen-containing group include (C1-C4) alkyl halides, such as methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and tert-butyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides; di(C1-C4) alkyl sulfates, such as dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, and diamyl sulfate; (C 10 ~C 18 Alkyl halides, such as decyl, dodecyl, lauryl, myristyl, and stearyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides; as well as aryl (C1-C4) alkyl halides, such as benzyl chloride and phenethyl bromide, can be used to quaternize the compounds. Both water- and oil-soluble compounds according to the present invention can be prepared using such salts.

[0135] If the compounds of the present invention simultaneously contain acidic and basic groups in their molecules, the present invention also encompasses intramolecular salts or betaines (amphoteric ions) in addition to the salt forms mentioned. Each salt can be obtained by conventional methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by contacting them with organic or inorganic acids or bases in a solvent or dispersant, or by anion exchange or cation exchange with other salts. The present invention also encompasses all salts of the compounds of the present invention that, due to their low physiological compatibility, are not directly suitable for pharmaceutical use but can be used, for example, as intermediates for chemical reactions or for the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

[0136] Therefore, the following items also conform to the present invention: (a) all stereoisomers or tautomers of the compound (including mixtures thereof in any proportion); (b) pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the items mentioned under (a); (c) pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of compounds, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of items mentioned under (a) and (b); (d) N-oxides of compounds, as well as N-oxides of items mentioned under (a), (b), and (c).

[0137] It should be understood that all references to compounds above and below are intended to encompass these items, in particular, pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

[0138] Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention are intended to encompass their isotopically labeled forms. The isotopically labeled forms of the compounds represented by formula I or IA are identical to the compounds, apart from the fact that one or more atoms of the compound are replaced by one or more atoms having atomic masses or mass numbers different from those of most naturally occurring atoms. Examples of isotopes that are commercially readily available and can be incorporated into the compounds of the present invention by well known methods include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, for example, 2 H(D), 3 H, 13 C, 14 C, 15 N, 18 O, 17 O, 31 P, 32 P, 33 S, 34 S, 35 S, 36 S, 18 F, and 36Each of CI is included. Compounds represented by formula I or IA, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, containing one or more other isotopes of the aforementioned isotopes and / or other atoms, are intended to be part of the present invention. Isotopically labeled compounds represented by formula I or IA can be used in a number of useful ways. For example, 3 H or 14 The isotope-labeled compounds of the present invention, which incorporate radioactive isotopes such as 13C, are suitable for pharmaceutical and / or substrate tissue distribution assays. These radioactive isotopes, namely tritium ( 3 H) and carbon-14 ( 14 C) is particularly preferred due to its simple preparation and excellent detectability. Heavier isotopes (e.g., deuterium) 2 The incorporation of H)) into compounds represented by formula IA or I has therapeutic benefits due to the higher metabolic stability of the isotope-labeled compound. Higher metabolic stability directly translates to an increased in vivo half-life or lower dosage, which would represent a preferred embodiment of the present invention in most circumstances. Isotope-labeled compounds represented by formula I or IA can usually be prepared by performing the procedures disclosed in the synthesis scheme and related descriptions in the main text, in the examples section, and in the preparation section, replacing unlabeled reactants with readily available isotope-labeled reactants.

[0139] deuterium( 2H;D) can also be incorporated into compounds represented by formula I or IA for the purpose of manipulating the oxidative metabolism of the compound by the primary kinetic isotope effect. The primary kinetic isotope effect is a change in the rate of a chemical reaction resulting from the exchange of isotopic nuclei, which follows the change in ground state energy required for covalent bond formation after this isotope exchange. The exchange of heavier isotopes usually results in a decrease in ground state energy for chemical bonding, and consequently a reduction in the rate of rate-determining bond breakdown. If bond breakdown occurs in or near the saddle point region along the coordinates of a multi-product reaction, the product distribution ratio can be substantially altered. For illustrative purposes: If deuterium is bonded to a carbon atom in an inexchangeable position, k M / k D A typical rate difference is between 2 and 7. If this rate difference is successfully applied to compounds represented by formula I or IA that are prone to oxidation, the in vivo profile of these compounds can be dramatically altered, resulting in improved pharmacokinetic properties.

[0140] When discovering and developing therapeutic agents, those skilled in the art attempt to optimize pharmacokinetic parameters while maintaining desired in vitro properties. It is reasonable to assume that many compounds with poor pharmacokinetic profiles are prone to oxidative metabolism. Currently available in vitro liver microsome assays provide valuable information about the course of this type of oxidative metabolism, which in turn allows for the rational design of deuterated compounds represented by formula I or IA with improved stability through resistance to such oxidative metabolism. Significant improvements in the pharmacokinetic profile of compounds represented by formula I or IA can be obtained thereby, including in vivo half-life (t1 / 2) and concentration at maximum therapeutic effect (C). max It can be expressed quantitatively in terms of the increase in area under the dose-response curve (AUC) and F, as well as in terms of reduced clearance, dose, and material costs.

[0141] The following is intended to illustrate what is described above: Compounds represented by formula I or IA, which have multiple potential attack sites against oxidative metabolism (e.g., benzyl hydrogen atoms and hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen atoms), are prepared as a series of analogues in which various combinations of hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium atoms (so that some, almost, or all of these hydrogen atoms can be replaced by deuterium atoms). Determining the half-life allows for a preferred and accurate determination of the extent to which the resistance to oxidative metabolism has been improved. Thus, it is determined that the half-life of the parent compound can be extended by up to 100% as a result of this type of deuterium-hydrogen exchange.

[0142] Deuterium-hydrogen exchange in the compounds of the present invention can also be used to achieve a preferred modification of the metabolite range of the starting compound in order to reduce or eliminate undesirable toxic metabolites. For example, if toxic metabolites arise through oxidative carbon-hydrogen (CH) bond cleavage, it can be reasonably inferred that a deuterated analog would significantly reduce or eliminate the generation of unwanted metabolites, even if specific oxidation is not the rate-limiting step. Further information on the state of technology regarding deuterium-hydrogen exchange can be found, for example, in Hanzlik et al., J.Org.Chem. 55, 3992-3997, 1990; Reider et al., J.Org.Chem. 52, 3326-3334, 1987; Foster, Adv.Drug Res. 14, 1-40, 1985; Gillette et al, Biochemistry 33(10) 2927-2937, 1994; and Jarman et al. Carcinogenesis 16(4), 683-688, 1995.

[0143] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising, as an active ingredient, at least one compound represented by formula I or IA, or its N-oxide, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer, and each of the above pharmaceutically acceptable salts (including mixtures thereof in any ratio), together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

[0144] For the purposes of the present invention, the term “pharmaceutical composition” (or “pharmaceutical preparation”) means a composition or product comprising one or more active ingredients, one or more inactive ingredients constituting a carrier, and any products that result directly or indirectly from any combination of two or more of the ingredients, complex formation, or aggregation, or from the dissociation of one or more of the ingredients, or from one or more other types of reactions or interactions of the ingredients. Consequently, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention encompass any composition prepared by mixing at least one compound of the present invention with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. This may further include pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, auxiliaries, adjuvants, diluents, and / or additional pharmaceutically active substances other than the compounds of the present invention.

[0145] Pharmaceutical compositions include compositions and pharmaceutical preparations suitable for oral, rectal, topical, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous), ophthalmic (eye drops), pulmonary (nasal inhalation or oral inhalation), or nasal administration, but in any of the specified cases, the most suitable route will depend on the nature and severity of the disease being treated and the nature of the active ingredient. These may be presented in unit dosage forms for convenience and may be prepared by any method well known in the pharmaceutical art.

[0146] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may further contain one or more other compounds as active ingredients (drugs), such as one or more additional compounds of the present invention. In specific embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions further contain a second active ingredient, or its derivatives, prodrugs, solvates, tautomers, or stereoisomers thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of each of the above (including mixtures thereof in any ratio), wherein the second active ingredient is a compound other than the compound represented by formula I or IA; preferably, the second active ingredient is a compound that is also useful for the treatment, prevention, suppression, and / or recovery from a disease or pathological condition listed anywhere above or below. Such combinations of two or more active ingredients or drugs may be safer or more effective than any drug or active ingredient alone, or the combination may be safer or more effective than what would be predicted based on the additivity of the individual drugs. Other such drugs (one or more) may be administered contemporaneously or sequentially to the compounds of the present invention by a commonly used route and in the same amount. When the compound of the present invention is used contemporaneously with one or more other drugs or active ingredients, a combination product containing such other drugs (one or more) and the compound of the present invention—also referred to as a “fixed-dose combination”—is preferred. However, combination therapy also includes therapies in which the compound of the present invention and one or more other drugs are administered on different, overlapping schedules. When used in combination with other active ingredients, it is intended that the compound of the present invention, or the other active ingredients, or both, may be effective at lower doses than when each is used alone. Consequently, pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention also include those containing one or more other active ingredients in addition to the compound of the present invention.

[0147] The compounds of the present invention—or their N-oxides, solvates, tautomers, or stereoisomers, and / or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as well as mixtures thereof in any ratio—may be used as pharmaceuticals. They have been found to exhibit pharmacological activity by binding to TEAD and / or interfering with and / or inhibiting YAP-TEAD and / or TAZ-TEAD protein-protein interactions. This activity suggests that the compounds of the present invention may prevent or restore dysfunction of the Hippo pathway. By preventing this dysfunction, the Hippo pathway may be able to fulfill its role as a tumor suppressor. Apart from the prevention or restoration of Hippo pathway dysfunction, and independently of upstream Hippo regulation, the pharmacological activity of the compounds of the present invention may also be useful in other pathophysiological scenarios where TEAD binding and / or inhibition or disruption of abnormal YAP-TEAD and / or abnormal TAZ-TEAD signaling would be beneficial.

[0148] Therefore, the compounds of the present invention, which are TEAD binders and / or inhibitors of the interaction between YAP-TEAD and / or TAZ-TEAD, are particularly useful for the treatment, prevention, suppression, and / or recovery of hyperproliferative disorders and cancers, including solid tumors such as breast cancer, lung cancer, mesothelioma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, uveal melanoma, liver cancer, ovarian cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, kidney cancer, gastric cancer, medulloblastoma, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, schwannoma, meningioma, glioma, and basal cell carcinoma. While we do not wish to agree with any particular theory or explanation, it can be assumed that the compounds can achieve this by having a direct effect on cancer cells and / or indirectly by modulating the immune system's response to the tumor. Furthermore, the compounds of the present invention may also be useful for the treatment, prevention, suppression, and / or recovery of non-cancerous disorders and diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and fibrosis (such as hepatic fibrosis).

[0149] In specific embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are for use in the prevention and / or treatment of any of the disorders or diseases listed above, preferably cancers, particularly tumors including solid tumors, of certain types of cancers disclosed in the preceding paragraph; or in the treatment of any of the non-cancerous disorders or diseases disclosed in the preceding paragraph.

[0150] Another specific aspect of the present invention is a method for preventing and / or treating, preferably treating, any disorder or disease selected from the group consisting of hyperproliferative disorders and cancers, particularly solid tumors, or of any of the specific types of cancers disclosed in the preceding paragraphs; or any of the noncancerous disorders or diseases disclosed in the preceding paragraphs.

[0151] A further specific aspect of the present invention is the use of the compounds of the present invention—or their derivatives, N-oxides, prodrugs, solvates, tautomers, or stereoisomers, and / or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and mixtures thereof in any ratio—for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, in particular, selected from the group consisting of hyperproliferative disorders and cancers, including solid tumors, or specific types of cancers disclosed in the preceding paragraph; or any non-cancerous disorders or diseases disclosed in the preceding paragraph, preferably for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals for the prevention and / or treatment of such disorders or diseases.

[0152] Preferably, the present invention relates to the compounds of the present invention for use in the prevention and / or treatment of diseases—or, alternatively, a method for preventing and / or treating diseases by administering an effective amount of the compounds of the present invention; or, in another alternative, the use of the compounds of the present invention for the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention and / or treatment of diseases—where the disease is cancer, in particular solid tumors of the specific types of cancer disclosed in the preceding paragraphs; more preferably, herein the administration of the compounds is concurrent, sequential, or alternating with the administration of at least one other active agent.

[0168] A further aspect of the present invention is a process for producing a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, characterized in that one or more compounds according to the present invention and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of solid, liquid, or semi-liquid excipients, auxiliary agents, adjuvants, diluents, carriers, and pharmaceutically active agents other than compounds according to the present invention are converted into a suitable dosage form.

[0169] The pharmaceutical compositions (formulations) of the present invention may be administered by any means necessary to achieve their intended purpose. For example, administration may be via oral, parenteral, topical, intestinal, intravenous, intramuscular, inhalation, nasal, intraarticular, intrathecal, transtracheal, transocular, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, transdermal, or oral routes. Alternatively or in parallel, administration may be via an oral route. The dosage administered will depend on the recipient's age, health condition, and weight, the type of current treatment (if any), the frequency of treatment, and the nature of the desired effect. Parenteral administration is preferred. Oral administration is particularly preferred.

[0170] Preferred dosage forms, though not limited to these, include capsules, tablets, pellets, sugar-coated tablets, semi-solids, powders, granules, suppositories, ointments, creams, lotions, inhalants, injections, poultices, gels, tapes, eye drops, solutions, syrups, aerosols, suspensions, and emulsions, which can be produced according to methods known in the art, such as those listed below:

[0171] Tablets: The active ingredients (one or more) and auxiliary agents are mixed, the mixture is compressed into tablets (direct compression), and optionally a portion of the mixture before compression is granulated.

[0172] Capsules: The active ingredients (one or more) and auxiliary agents are mixed to obtain a fluid powder, the powder is optionally granulated, the powder / particles are filled into open capsules, and the capsules are sealed.

[0173] Semi-solids (ointments, gels, creams): The active ingredient(s) are dissolved / dispersed in an aqueous or fatty carrier; the aqueous / fatty phase is then mixed with a complementary fatty / aqueous phase and homogenized (creams only).

[0174] Suppositories (rectal and vaginal): The active ingredient(s) is dissolved / dispersed in a carrier material (rectal: the carrier material is usually wax; vaginal: the carrier is usually a heated solution of a gelling agent) that has been liquefied by heating, the mixture is molded into a suppository form, and the suppository is annealed and withdrawn from the mold.

[0175] Aerosol: The active ingredients (one or more) are dissolved / dispersed in a spraying agent, and the mixture is packed into a sprayer.

[0176] Generally, non-chemical routes for the production of pharmaceutical compositions and / or pharmaceutical preparations include processing steps by preferred mechanical means known in the art to transform one or more compounds of the present invention into dosage forms suitable for administration to patients requiring such treatment. Typically, transforming one or more compounds of the present invention into such dosage forms involves the addition of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of carriers, excipients, auxiliaries, and pharmaceutically active ingredients other than the compounds of the present invention. Preferred processing steps, but not limited to these, include combining, milling, mixing, granulating, dissolving, dispersing, homogenizing, molding, and / or compressing the active and inactive ingredients, respectively. Mechanical means for carrying out such processing steps are known in the art, for example, from Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th Edition. In this regard, the active ingredients are preferably at least one compound of the present invention and optionally one or more additional compounds other than the compounds of the present invention that exhibit valuable pharmaceutical properties, preferably those pharmaceutically active ingredients other than the compounds of the present invention as disclosed herein.

[0177] Specifically suitable for oral use are tablets, pills, coated tablets, capsules, powders, granules, syrups, fruit juices, or intravenous infusions; suitable for rectal use are suppositories; suitable for parenteral use are solutions, preferably oil-based or aqueous solutions, and also suspensions, emulsions, or implants; and suitable for topical use are ointments, creams, or powders. The compounds of the present invention may also be lyophilized, and the resulting lyophilized product may be used, for example, in the preparation of injectable preparations. The indicated preparations may be sterilized and / or contain assistants such as lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers and / or wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts for modifying osmotic pressure, buffers, dyes, flavors, and / or a number of further active ingredients, such as one or more vitamins.

[0178] Suitable excipients are organic or inorganic substances suitable for intra-enteral administration (e.g., oral administration), parenteral administration, or topical administration, which do not react with the compounds of the present invention, and include, for example, water, vegetable oil, benzyl alcohol, alkylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol triacetate, gelatin, carbohydrates such as lactose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, or starch (corn starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch), cellulose preparations, and / or calcium phosphate, such as calcium triphosphate or calcium hydrogen phosphate, magnesium stearate, talc, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and / or vaseline.

[0179] If desired, the disintegrant may be the starch described above, as well as carboxymethyl starch, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or its salts (such as sodium alginate). Auxiliaries include, but are not limited to, flow-regulating agents and lubricants, such as silica, talc, stearic acid or its salts (such as magnesium stearate or calcium stearate), and / or polyethylene glycol. The core of the sugar-coated tablet is provided with a suitable coating, which, if desired, is resistant to gastric juice. For this purpose, a concentrated sugar solution may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, and / or titanium dioxide, lacquer solution, and a suitable organic solvent or solvent mixture. To produce a coating resistant to gastric juice, or to provide a dosage form offering the advantage of sustained action, tablets, sugar-coated tablets, or pills may contain internal and external dose components, the latter in the form of an envelope covering the former. The two components may be separated by an enteric coating that acts to resist disintegration in the stomach and allows the internal component to pass through the duodenum intact or delays its release. Various materials may be used for such enteric coatings or coatings, including numerous polymer acids, and mixtures of polymer acids with materials such as shellac, acetyl alcohol, or solutions of suitable cellulose preparations (such as acetylcellulose phthalate, cellulose acetate, or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate). Dyes or pigments may be added to the tablet or sugar-coated tablet coating, for example, for identification or to characterize combinations of active compound doses.

[0180] Suitable carrier materials are organic or inorganic substances that are suitable for intraenteral administration (e.g., oral administration), parenteral administration, or topical application, and that do not react with the novel compounds, such as water, vegetable oil, benzyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, gelatin, carbohydrates (such as lactose or starch), magnesium stearate, talc, and yellow petroleum jelly. In particular, tablets, coated tablets, capsules, syrups, suspensions, infusions, or suppositories are used for intraenteral administration; solutions, preferably oily or aqueous solutions, as well as suspensions, emulsions, or implants, are used for parenteral administration; and ointments, creams, or powders are used for topical application.

[0181] Other pharmaceutical preparations that may be used orally include push-type capsules made of gelatin, and soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer (such as glycerol or sorbitol). Push-type capsules may contain, in granular form, an active compound, which may be mixed with a filler such as lactose, a binder such as starch, and / or a lubricant such as talc or magnesium stearate, and optionally a stabilizer. In the soft capsule, the active compound is preferably dissolved or suspended in a suitable liquid such as a fatty oil, or in liquid paraffin. In addition, a stabilizer may also be added.

[0182] Liquid forms into which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for oral administration include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oily suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar medicinal vehicles. Suitable dispersants or suspending agents for aqueous suspensions include synthetic and natural rubbers, such as tragacanth, acacia, alginic acid, dextran, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or gelatin.

In addition, suspensions of the active compound as suitable oily injectable suspensions may also be administered. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils (e.g., sesame oil) or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides or polyethylene glycol-400 (this compound is soluble in PEG-400).

[0184] The aqueous injection suspension may contain a substance that increases the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sorbitol, and / or dextran, and optionally the suspension may also contain a stabilizer.

[0185] For administration as an inhalation spray, a spray can be used in which the active ingredient is either dissolved or suspended in a spray gas or a mixture of spray gases (e.g., CO2 or carbon chlorofluoride). The active ingredient is used here in a favorably pulverized form, in which case one or more additional physiologically acceptable solvents, such as ethanol, may be present. The inhalation solution can be administered using a conventional inhaler.

[0186] Feasible pharmaceutical preparations that can be used transrectally include, for example, suppositories consisting of a combination of one or more active compounds with a suppository base. Suitable suppository bases are, for example, natural or synthetic triglycerides or paraffinic hydrocarbons. In addition, it is also feasible to use gelatin transrectal capsules consisting of a combination of an active compound with a base. Feasible bases include, for example, liquid triglycerides, polyethylene glycol, or paraffinic hydrocarbons.

[0187] Pharmaceutical preparations may be employed as pharmaceutical and veterinary drugs in humans. As used herein, the term “effective dose” means the amount of a drug or pharmaceutical product that would elicit a biological or medical response in a tissue, system, animal, or human (as sought, for example, by researchers or clinicians). Furthermore, the term also encompasses, within its scope, “therapeutably effective dose,” meaning any amount that results in an improved treatment, cure, prevention, or recovery of a disease, disorder, or side effect, or a reduction in the rate of progression of a disease or disorder or symptoms associated with such disease or disorder, compared to a corresponding subject that has not received such dose; this may also mean preventing or providing a preventive measure for a disease or disorder in a subject that has or is at risk of developing the disease disclosed herein. The term also encompasses, within its scope, an amount that is effective in enhancing normal physiological function. One or more of the compounds of the present invention in such therapeutically effective doses are known to those skilled in the art or can be readily determined by standard methods known in the art.

[0188] When used herein, “to treat” or “treatment” means the alleviation of all or part of the symptoms associated with a disorder or disease, or the delay or cessation of the further progression or worsening of those symptoms, or the prevention or preventive measure of a disease or disorder in a person at risk of developing the disease or disorder.

[0189] The compounds of the present invention and any additional active substances are generally administered in a manner similar to commercial preparations. Typically, therapeutically effective doses are in the range of 0.0005 mg to 1000 mg per dose unit, preferably between 0.005 mg and 500 mg, and particularly between 0.5 mg and 100 mg. Daily doses are preferably between approximately 0.001 mg / kg body weight and approximately 10 mg / kg body weight.

[0190] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that dose levels may vary depending on the specific compound, the severity of the symptoms, and the subject's sensitivity to side effects. Some compounds are more potent than others. The preferred dosage for a given compound can be easily determined by those skilled in the art by various means. A preferred means is to measure the physiological efficacy of the given compound.

[0191] However, the specific dose for an individual patient, and especially for an individual human patient, depends on numerous factors, such as the efficacy of the particular compound employed, age, weight, general state of health, sex, diet, time and route of administration, elimination rate, type and dosage form of administration, combination of drugs, and the severity of the specific disorder related to the treatment. The specific therapeutically effective dose for an individual patient can be readily determined by standard experimental methods, for example, by a physician or doctor advising or participating in the therapeutic procedure.

[0192] The compounds of the present invention may be prepared using appropriate materials according to the following scheme and example procedures, as further illustrated by the following specific examples. These may also be prepared by methods known on their own, or more precisely, by known and suitable reaction conditions, as described in the literature (e.g., in standard works such as Houben-Weyl, Methods of Organic Chemistry, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart; Organic Reactions, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York). Modifications known on their own but not described in more detail here may also be used.

[0193] Similarly, the starting materials for the preparation of the compounds of the present invention can be prepared as described in the examples or by methods known in themselves, as described in the literature of synthetic organic chemistry and known to those skilled in the art, or they can be commercially obtained. The starting materials for the claimed process and / or utilized process may also be formed in situ, if desired, not by isolating them from the reaction mixture, but instead by immediately converting them to further compounds or intermediate compounds of the present invention. On the other hand, the reaction can generally also be carried out stepwise.

[0194] Preferably, the reaction of the compound is carried out in the presence of a suitable solvent (which is preferably inert under the respective reaction conditions). Examples of suitable solvents, but not limited to these, include hydrocarbons such as hexane, petroleum ether, benzene, toluene, or xylene; chlorinated hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, tetrachloromethane, chloroform, or dichloromethane; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, or tert-butanol; ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF), or dioxane; glycol ethers such as ethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether, or ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglym); ketones such as acetone or butanone; amides such as acetamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide (DMF), or N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP); nitriles such as acetonitrile; sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); nitro compounds such as nitromethane or nitrobenzene; esters such as ethyl acetate, or mixtures of such solvents or mixtures with water.

[0195] The reaction temperature is between approximately -100°C and 300°C, depending on the steps and conditions of the reaction used.

[0196] Reaction times generally range from a few minutes to several days, depending on the reactivity of each compound and the respective reaction conditions. A suitable reaction time can be easily determined by methods known in the art, such as reaction monitoring. Based on the reaction temperature given above, a suitable reaction time generally ranges from 10 minutes to 48 hours.

[0197] Furthermore, by using the procedures described herein in conjunction with the ordinary skills of the relevant technical literature, additional compounds of the present invention claimed herein can be readily prepared. However, the compounds described in the examples should not be construed as forming only the genus considered to be the present invention. The examples further illustrate the preparation of the compounds of the present invention in detail. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that known variations of the conditions and processes of the following preparation procedures can also be used to prepare these compounds.

It is characterized by one of the following:

[0199] As will be understood by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis, the compounds of the present invention, in particular those represented by formula I or IA, are readily accessible through various synthetic routes, some of which are illustrated in the accompanying experimental section. Those skilled in the art will readily recognize what kinds of reagents and reaction conditions to use and how to apply and adapt them in any specific case to obtain the compounds of the present invention, wherever necessary or useful. Furthermore, some compounds of the present invention can be readily synthesized by reacting other compounds of the present invention under suitable conditions, for example, by converting certain specific functional groups present in the compounds of the present invention, or suitable precursor molecules thereof, into others by applying standard synthetic methods (known to those skilled in the art), such as reduction, oxidation, addition, or substitution reactions. Similarly, those skilled in the art will know—wherever necessary or useful—how to apply synthetic protecting (or protective) groups; suitable protecting groups, and methods for introducing and removing them, which are described in more detail, for example, in PGMWuts, TW Greene, “Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, 4th edition (2006) (John Wiley & Sons).

[0200] The following general synthetic routes, which may be used to prepare the compounds of the present invention, are described in more detail in schemes A, AA, B, and BA below: [ka] Scheme A (Z 1 , Z 2 , R 1 , R 2 , W 1 , W 2 , W3 , and W 4 (This is defined for formula I above and in the claims.)

[0201] [ka] Scheme AA (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 , R 1 , R 2 , W 1 , W 2 , W 3 , and W 4 (This is defined in the above formula IA and in the claims.)

[0202] It will also be understood that the following description of Scheme A applies similarly to Scheme AA; and that Scheme AA and its description refer to compounds BA, DA, EA, and IA instead of compounds B, D, E, and I. The synthetic procedures and methods used are the same in Scheme A and AA.

[0203] Scheme A above illustrates a general synthetic route for preparing the tetrazole compound represented by formula I. In the reaction step, compound D is produced by reacting boronic acid B—which is readily available and, for example, by first reacting a bromo-substituted aryl or heteroaryl with a suitable organometallic base such as n-butyllithium, followed by a suitable borate ester such as B(OCH3)3—with a 1-amino-2-bromo-substituted phenyl or heterocyclic C under typical CC cross-coupling conditions, for example, under conditions typical of the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction (for example, a solution of B and C in a suitable solvent such as 1,4-dioxane is reacted with cesium carbonate in the presence of a palladium catalyst such as Pd(dppf)2Cl2(1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) dichloride). Compound D may then be subjected to an intramolecular CN cross-coupling reaction (step b), for example, under typical conditions of a Hartwig-Buchwald reaction (for example, the reaction with cesium carbonate in a suitable solvent such as 1,4-dioxane and in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst such as di-tert-butyl[2',4',6'-tris(propan-2-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl]phosphan{2'-amino-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl}palladiumylium methanesulfonate), to produce a tricyclic heterocycle E. Next, in another CN coupling reaction (step c), under similar conditions, for example, cesium carbonate and bromide R in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst (e.g., chloro(2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-triisopropyl-1,1'-biphenyl)[2-(2'-amino-1,1'-biphenyl)]palladium(II), X-Phosaminobiphenylpalladium chloride, XPhosPd G2) 1 Further reaction with -Br may provide the compound represented by formula I of the present invention. Various substituents R 1 , R 2 Properties and W 1 , W2 , W 3 , and W 4 Depending on the properties of, the compound represented by formula I may be arbitrarily transformed into a further compound represented by formula I. For example, R 2 is a carboxyl ester (-C(=O)-OR 2a If so, then this ester can be subjected to a saponification reaction using a suitable acid or base, thereby yielding each carboxylic acid (R 2 =-C(=O)-OH) or its salt (for example, R 2 The formula may be one of the following: =-C(=O)-OCat, where Cat is Li, Na, K, or NH4.

[0204] In some cases, compound D (and DA in scheme AA) as shown in scheme A above may be reacted with a suitable compound R1-Br under CN coupling conditions (in the presence of a suitable base such as cesium carbonate or sodium hydride and a suitable palladium catalyst) instead of being subjected to the subsequent reaction steps b and c, i.e., two consecutive CN coupling reactions, to directly provide the compounds represented by formula I (or IA in scheme AA).

[0205] In some further cases, compound D (or compound DA in scheme AA) is converted to either compound E (or EA) or compound I (or IA) before - W 1 , W 2 , W 3 , or W 4 Compound D may be modified by introducing suitable substituents. For example, in compound D, W 3 CR W1 (R W1 If it represents Br, then this bromo-substituted compound is represented by another substituent R. W1 (For example, -CH2-Ar WCompound D (or compound DA in scheme AA) may be provided by subjecting the compound to a suitable CC coupling reaction that introduces the compound.

[0206] Furthermore, starting from compound E, the compound represented by formula I (or starting from compound EA, the compound represented by formula IA) is a bromo-substituted compound R 1 It is well understood that other suitable reaction partners besides -Br may be used under suitable reaction conditions to synthesize it. For example, R 1 Selected L 1 -Ar or L 1 -Hetar 1 (L here) 1 If (i) is -S(=O)2-, then compound E may be reacted with each thionyl chloride under suitable reaction conditions to produce each sulfonyl derivative represented by formula I (or IA). [ka] Scheme B (Z 1 , Z 2 , R 1 , R 2 , W 1 , W 2 , W 3 , and W 4 (This is defined for formula I above and in the claims.)

[0207] [ka] Scheme BA (Z 1 , Z 2 , Z 3 , R 1 , R 2 , W 1 , W 2 , W 3 , and W 4(This is defined in the above formula IA and in the claims.)

[0208] It will also be understood that the following description of Scheme B applies similarly to Scheme BA; and that Scheme BA and its description refer to compounds BA, GA, and IA instead of compounds B, G, and I. The synthetic procedures and methods used are the same in Scheme B and BA.

[0209] Scheme B above depicts an alternative synthetic route for producing the compounds of the present invention. Here, boronic acid B (or a preferred boronic acid ester) is reacted with a 1-chloro-2-iodo-substituted heterocycle F in a CC cross-coupling reaction under the same conditions as described for step a in scheme A (step d), which produces a dichloro-substituted compound G. Compound G is then converted into a primary amine R 1 In the CN coupling reaction with -NH2 (step e), the compound may be converted in the presence of a suitable base such as cesium carbonate and a suitable palladium catalyst (as described for scheme A) to a desired compound represented by formula I (or IA for scheme BA).

[0210] Unless specifically defined or the context provides a different meaning, it should be noted that, generally, the number of terms, i.e., their singular and plural forms, are interchangeable and can be read interchangeably. For example, the singular term “compound” may also include or refer to plural compounds, while the plural term “compound” may also include or refer to the singular compound.

[0274] reagent: The reagents used are listed below: [Table 3]

[0275] Cell culture: The cells were examined using an inverted microscope to check their health and cell density. To dissociate adherent cells, the monolayer of cells was washed once with pre-warmed PBS. After removing the PBS, 3 ml of pre-warmed Accutase® was added to an F75 flask and dispersed evenly, and the flask was left to stand in an incubator for 4-5 minutes.

[0276] Once a single-cell suspension was obtained, 7 ml of pre-warmed growth medium was added and the cells were resuspended. The cell suspension was transferred to a sterile 15 ml conical centrifuge tube and spun at 300 x g for 5 minutes at RT. The supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was resuspended in 10 ml of pre-warmed growth medium. The total number of cells was determined, and 20 μl of the desired number of cells was added to each well of a 384-well plate using Multidrop Combi. The plate was then incubated at 37°C, 95% rH, and 5% CO2 for 24 hours.

[0277] Compound treatment: Cells were treated with the compound 24 hours after seeding. A 1:333 dilution of the compound was prepared by diluting it in DMSO to obtain a final concentration of 0.3% DMSO per well. To transfer the compound to assay plates, 120 nl was dropped (shot) from Labcyte low-dead-volume plates into cell plates containing 20 μl of medium / well using an ECHO 555 liquid handling system. After treatment, cells were injected with 20 μl of fresh, pre-warmed assay medium using a Multidrop combi (fed). The assay plate was then incubated for another 24 hours at 37°C, 95% rH, and 5% CO2.

[0278] Luciferase reading: 24 hours after the procedure, the plate was removed from the incubator and left to stand until it reached RT (recovery time). 30 μl of NanoGlo® reagent was added to the dark plate. The plate was shaken on a dark Teleshake (~1500 rpm) for 20 minutes. Luminescence was then measured using an EnVision microplate reader. IC50 values ​​were generated using a Geneda Screener®.
