Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing triazolopyrimidinone derivatives that exhibit tankirase inhibitory activity. [Background technology]

[0002] Tankyrases belong to the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) protein family, which consists of 17 members that share a catalytic PARP domain. Recently, it has been reported that intracellular axinomic levels are influenced by tankyrase-1 and tankyrase-2 (also known as PARP5a and PARP5b, respectively), which are members of the PARP enzyme family (Huang et al., 2009, Nature, 461(7264):614-620).

[0003] Tankirase-1 and tankirase-2 inhibitors are known to have therapeutic potential for a variety of cancers, including solid tumors such as colorectal carcinoma, colon cancer, gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, medulloblastoma, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and prostate cancer. Furthermore, tankirase-1 and tankirase-2 inhibitors have therapeutic potential in addition to the aforementioned cancers, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, polycystic kidney disease, pulmonary fibrosis, diabetes, schizophrenia, vascular disease, cardiac disease, non-oncogenic proliferative disease, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

[0004] As mentioned above, there is a persistent need for novel therapeutic agents that can be used for cancer and hyperproliferative conditions, and attempts are being made to develop new pharmaceutical compounds that can selectively inhibit the tankyrase enzyme. In particular, triazolopyrimidinone derivatives of chemical formula I shown below are known as selective tankyrase inhibitors and are being developed as colorectal cancer treatments for patients with colorectal cancer-inducing gene (KRAS) mutations or patients who do not respond to Erbitux. [ka]

[0005] International Publication WO2016 / 006974 discloses a method for producing triazolopyrimidinone derivatives, including the compound of chemical formula I mentioned above. However, this production method involves a reaction step using microwaves and column purification, and is therefore not suitable for mass production; thus, process improvements are necessary.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the aforementioned inefficient manufacturing methods and develop new manufacturing methods that can produce triazolopyrimidinone derivative compounds of chemical formula I with high purity. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
