Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of drug chemistry and specifically relates to FAK inhibitors and their concomitant drugs. [Background technology]
[0002] Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is an intracellular non-receptor tyrosine kinase that was first discovered in transfected V-Src chicken embryo fibroblasts. FAK is highly expressed in many tissues, and its protein sequence exhibits high homology across many species (mice, toads, humans, etc.). FAK is a crossroads of multiple intracellular signaling pathways involved in several biological processes, including tumor formation, growth, metastasis and apoptosis, and cardiovascular disease, and is currently one of the most widely studied antitumor targets.
[0003] Recent research has revealed that FAK is activated by various factors, including integrins and G protein-coupled receptors, and that FAK regulates intracellular signaling pathways such as P53 and PI3K-AKT-mTOR via two kinase-dependent and kinase-independent pathways, thereby participating in biological processes such as tumor cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis. The initial attempt aimed to suppress tumors by downregulating FAK expression in tumor cells. Transfecting with carboxyl-termined FAK (FAK-CD) silences FAK, reducing cell adhesion and proliferation, and inhibiting breast cancer cell proliferation in in vivo experiments. Furthermore, transfecting plasmids containing FAK-silenced RNA (FAK-siRNA) suppresses cancer in vivo. Simultaneously, suppressing the expression of FAK and FAK downstream signaling molecules (e.g., SRC) can enhance the antitumor effect.
[0004] Due to the important function of FAK in tumor cells, the reliability of gene transfection, and the safety of viral vectors, small molecule inhibitors based on the FAK signaling pathway have emerged and have shown promising results in recent years. Currently, several FAK inhibitors are used as antitumor drugs and are in the preclinical or clinical trial stages. In the literature ("Research progress on FAK, a novel target adhesion plaque kinase for antitumor, and its inhibitors," Chen Ying et al.), it has been reported that TAE226, also known as NVP-226, can suppress FAK activity by blocking the binding site between FAK and ATP, and the phosphorylation sites of Y397 and Y861 of FAK. However, there is still a need in this field to develop FAK inhibitors with superior inhibitory activity or superior pharmacodynamic properties.
[0005] Deuterated drugs are drugs in which some of the hydrogen atoms in the drug molecule are replaced with deuterium. Deuterium (D) is a stable isotope of hydrogen, and its form and volume in drugs are essentially the same as hydrogen. Therefore, replacing some of the hydrogen atoms in a drug molecule with deuterium does not fundamentally change the activity of the drug molecule. Also, since the mass of a deuterium atom is twice that of hydrogen, the zero-point vibrational energy of the carbon-deuterium bond (CD) is lower than that of the carbon-hydrogen bond (CH), making the carbon-deuterium bond more stable. Therefore, by replacing some of the hydrogen atoms in a drug molecule with deuterium, the degradation process of the drug is slowed, allowing the deuterated drug to act longer in the body, and the objective of altering the drug metabolism rate or metabolic pathway is achieved, thereby improving pharmacokinetics and reducing the metabolic toxicity of the drug. In light of the important applications and limitations of FAK inhibitors in the field of oncology, it is possible to discover new molecular entities by combining them with deuterated drug technology, reducing the impact on liver and kidney function, and improving drug safety. Improving efficacy is a research trend that will drive further development of this type of drug, and it has great potential for application.
[0006] While drug combination therapy is an effective way to improve treatment outcomes, there are currently no reports of using deuterated FAK inhibitors in combination with other anticancer drugs or methods.

[0083] Test Example 3: Efficacy study in an animal tumor model using the deuterated compound of the present invention in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor. 1. MC38 tumor model: (1) Test method Cell culture: MC-38 cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). The cells were cultured in [specimen name]. MC-38 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected, resuspended in HBSS to the appropriate concentration, and used for subcutaneous tumor inoculation of C57BL / 6 mice.
[0084] Laboratory animals: C57BL / 6 mice, female, 6-8 weeks old, weighing approximately 18-20g, 96 individuals, purchased from Beijing Weitong Lihua Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.
[0085] Inoculation of tumor cells: Tumor cells in the logarithmic growth phase are collected, and the cell concentration is increased to 5 × 10⁻⁶ using HBSS. 6 The solution was adjusted to 5 × 10¹ / mL, and 0.1 mL was injected subcutaneously into the right side of each mouse's back using a 1 mL syringe. 5 The number of mice was determined to be per individual. Subsequently, the tumor volume was observed and measured, and the average tumor volume of the mice was 50-100 mm². 3 After growth, tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into groups based on tumor volume and administered the treatment. Detailed information is shown in Table 3 below, with the day of group division and administration defined as day 0.
[0086] Tumor volume calculation: Mice were sacrificed on day 18, tumors were removed, and tumor volume was measured to calculate the tumor suppression rate for each group.
[0087] [Table 3]
[0088] (2) Test results Figure 1 shows the efficacy of the drug after 18 days of administration to animals, and Table 3 shows the calculated tumor suppression rate. It was found that the efficacy of compound 44 of the present invention alone was superior to that of the mPD-1 antibody alone, indicating that administration of the compound of the present invention alone has a therapeutic effect on mice with an MC38 tumor model.
[0089] Furthermore, when compound 44 was administered in combination with the mPD-1 antibody (group 5), the tumor suppression effect was significantly improved compared to when compound 44 was administered alone (group 4) or when the mPD-1 antibody was administered alone (group 2), demonstrating a synergistic effect.
[0090] Furthermore, when compound 44 of the present invention (50 mg / kg, administered once daily) was administered in combination with an mPD-1 antibody (Group 5), a higher and superior tumor suppression effect was obtained compared to when Defactinib (50 mg / kg, administered twice daily) was administered in combination with an mPD-1 antibody (Group 3). In other words, when used in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor, the compound of the present invention showed superior tumor suppression at half the dose of Defactinib. The observed effect demonstrates that the combination of the compound of the present invention with a PD-1 inhibitor exhibits significantly superior antitumor efficacy against the MC38 tumor model compared to the combination of defactinib and a PD-1 inhibitor.
[0091] 2. PAN02 Tumor Model (1) Test method PAN-02 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected, washed twice with PBS, and then resuspended in pre-cooled PBS for inoculation. The experimental animals were female C57BL / 6 mice, purchased from Beijing Weitong Lihua Laboratory Animals Co., Ltd. The C57BL / 6 mice were adapted to the laboratory environment for 3 days, and PAN-02 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the right flank. The inoculation volume was 1 × 10⁶ cells. 6 The number was calculated per animal. The tumor was approximately 100 mm. 3 After growing to maturity, the animals were screened and randomly divided into groups of 8 each. They were then administered according to the group and administration plan shown in Table 4 below. The day of administration was defined as day 1, and the administration period was 33 days.
[0092] [Table 4]
[0093] (2) Test results Figure 2 shows the efficacy of the drug after 33 days of administration to animals, and Table 4 shows the calculated tumor suppression rates. When compound 44 was administered in combination with the mPD-1 antibody (group 5), the tumor suppression effect was significantly improved compared to when compound 44 was administered alone (group 4) or the mPD-1 antibody was administered alone (group 2).
[0094] On the other hand, when compound 44 of the present invention (25 mg / kg, administered twice daily) was administered in combination with an mPD-1 antibody (Group 5), the tumor suppression effect was significantly improved compared to when Defactinib (50 mg / kg, administered twice daily) was administered in combination with an mPD-1 antibody (Group 3). In other words, when used in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor, the compound of the present invention showed a superior tumor suppression effect at a lower dose than Defactinib. This indicates that the combination of the compound of the present invention and a PD-1 inhibitor has a significantly superior antitumor effect against the PAN-02 tumor model compared to the combination of Defactinib and a PD-1 inhibitor.
[0095] As described above, the present invention provides a deuterated compound that exhibits better pharmacokinetics, higher peak blood concentrations, higher exposure levels, and longer half-lives compared to the compound before deuteration, and has superior metabolic performance. Furthermore, the deuterated compound of the present invention can effectively inhibit the activity of FAK, and is useful in the preparation of FAK inhibitors and / or drugs for treating cancer. The deuterated compounds of this invention have great potential for applications in manufacturing. At the same time, when used in combination with anticancer drugs (e.g., PD-1 inhibitors), they can exert a synergistic effect, significantly improving tumor suppression and providing a superior option in clinical cancer treatment.
