Abstract
Description
Drugs for treating cancers that are resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a CHK1 inhibitor, a liposome encapsulating a CHK1 inhibitor, or a combination of these with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, as a therapeutic agent for cancer that exhibits resistance to treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
[0002] CHK1 is a serine / threonine protein kinase downstream of ATR in the DNA damage checkpoint signaling pathway during the cell cycle. In mammalian cells, CHK1 is phosphorylated in an ATR-dependent manner in response to DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation or DNA replication stress resulting from excessive cell proliferation or genomic instability in cancer cells (Non-Patent Documents 1-5). This phosphorylation activates CHK1, causing CHK1 to phosphorylate CDC25A, inhibiting CDC25A-mediated dephosphorylation of cyclin E / CDK2 and halting progression from the S phase. CHK1 also phosphorylates CDC25C, inhibiting CDC25C-mediated dephosphorylation of cyclin B / CDK1, halting progression from the G2M phase. In both cases, regulation of CDK activity induces cell cycle arrest, preventing cell division in the presence of DNA damage and promoting DNA damage repair. CHK1 inhibition suppresses the checkpoint function of DNA damage in the cell cycle in cancer cells, causing DNA repair failure and uncontrollable DNA synthesis in the presence of DNA damage, resulting in DNA fragmentation, replication catastrophe, and cell death (Patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0003] Since their launch, immune checkpoint inhibitors have established themselves as the fourth line of cancer treatment, following surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These immune checkpoint inhibitors are currently approved for a wide range of cancer types, including melanoma. While their efficacy has been reported to be characterized by long-term survival (durable clinical response), this effect is only observed in a small proportion of patients. Therefore, improvements in response rates are needed, such as the 13.3% overall response rate of nivolumab in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (Non-Patent Document 7).
[0004] Various inhibitors of CHK1 have been reported (Patent Documents 1 to 3).

[0007] The present disclosure provides agents for treating cancers that are resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors or for preventing recurrence of cancers that have gone into remission.
[0008] As a result of extensive research, the present inventors have found that a CHK1 inhibitor or a liposome encapsulating a CHK1 inhibitor enhances cytocidal effects and antigen presentation by continuously exposing the drug to cancer tissue, and that M2 macrophages are reduced, creating an intratumor environment (inflammatory microenvironment) that attracts CD8-positive T cells. They have also found that the agent exhibits excellent antitumor effects against cancers that are resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Furthermore, they have found that combining the inhibitor or liposome with an immune checkpoint inhibitor exhibits even more excellent antitumor effects. Furthermore, they have found that combining the inhibitor or liposome with an immune checkpoint inhibitor increases CD8-positive T cells with memory function, resulting in tumor rejection or tumor growth suppression upon secondary transplantation, thereby demonstrating a preventive effect against the recurrence of cancers in remission. This discovery has led to the completion of the present disclosure.

[0010] The present disclosure provides a therapeutic and / or prophylactic agent for cancer patients exhibiting resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors, which contains a CHK1 inhibitor or a liposome encapsulating a CHK1 inhibitor as an active ingredient. Furthermore, when the inhibitor or liposome is used in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, a superior antitumor effect is exhibited compared to when the inhibitor or liposome is used alone. Furthermore, the inhibitor, the liposome, or a combination of these with an immune checkpoint inhibitor also exhibits an effect of preventing the recurrence of cancer in remission.
[0011] The present disclosure provides a CHK1 inhibitor comprising a 5-heteroaryl-1H-pyrazol-3-amine derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound of the present disclosure combines excellent CHK1 inhibitory activity with high safety. When encapsulated in liposomes and released sustainedly from the liposomes, the compound acts on cancer sustainably and exhibits potent antitumor effects. The compound of the present disclosure is useful as a therapeutic agent for diseases involving CHK1, and specifically, is applicable to patients with pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, and the like.
[0012] The present disclosure has demonstrated pharmacological activity in Phase 2 studies in ovarian cancer patients. Compared to prexasertib, a 5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-amine derivative, the present disclosure failed to maximize efficacy with 72 hours of continuous exposure, as predicted from non-clinical studies. It was revealed, however, that the compound or salt thereof of the present disclosure can further improve this. Furthermore, while prexasertib causes side effects due to high maximum blood concentrations after a single administration, the compound or salt thereof of the present disclosure did not exhibit such side effects. While side effects due to prolonged drug exposure were observed after three consecutive days of administration, the compound or salt thereof of the present disclosure did not exhibit such side effects (Non-Patent Documents 3 and 6). Additionally, the present inventors have newly discovered that prexasertib poses a risk of hepatotoxicity, and the compound of the present invention exhibits a reduced risk of hepatotoxicity. From the above, the compound of the present disclosure possesses both excellent CHK1 inhibitory activity and a high level of safety.
[0013] In particular, compounds having a pyridine ring with a nitrogen atom at a specific position, as represented by formula (3), are characterized by having both high antitumor activity and safety, as well as excellent pharmacokinetics.
[0014] In particular, the compound of Example 1, which is included in formula (3), exhibits higher CHK1 inhibitory activity and has a strong cell proliferation inhibitory effect compared to prexasertib, and is characterized by being highly safe. Furthermore, the compound of Example 1 exhibits good pharmacokinetics and is characterized by being efficiently encapsulated in liposomes. A liposome formulation of the compound of Example 1 has excellent antitumor effect and is highly safe, and when used in combination with an existing anticancer drug, it exhibits even more exceptional antitumor effect.

[0244] In the above-described production methods, starting materials or intermediates for which production methods are not described are either commercially available or can be synthesized from commercially available compounds by methods known to those skilled in the art or methods similar thereto.
[0245] In each reaction of the production method described above, even when the use of a protecting group is not specifically specified, a protecting group can be used as needed. For example, when any functional group other than the reactive site changes under the reaction conditions described, or when the method described is inappropriate to carry out without a protecting group, the target compound can be obtained by protecting the functional group other than the reactive site as needed and deprotecting it after the reaction or after a series of reactions.
[0246] Examples of the protecting group that can be used include those described in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (Theodora W. Greene, Peter G. M.

[0248] In this specification, protecting groups, condensing agents, etc. may be represented by abbreviations according to IUPAC-IUB (International Board of Biochemical Nomenclature) commonly used in this technical field. Note that the names of compounds used in this specification do not necessarily conform to the IUPAC nomenclature.
[0249] The intermediates or target compounds in the above-described production methods can be converted into other compounds included in the present disclosure by appropriately converting their functional groups (for example, by protecting or deprotecting the functional groups as necessary, and then performing various conversions using amino, hydroxyl, carbonyl, halogen, etc. as a stepping stone). The conversion of functional groups can be performed by a commonly used method (see, for example, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, R. C. Larock, John Wiley & Sons Inc. (1999)).
[0250] The intermediates and target compounds in the above-described production methods can be isolated and purified by purification methods commonly used in organic synthetic chemistry (e.g., neutralization, filtration, extraction, washing, drying, concentration, recrystallization, various types of chromatography, etc.). In addition, the intermediates can also be used in the next reaction without any particular purification.
[0251] "Pharmaceutically acceptable salts" include acid addition salts and base addition salts. For example, acid addition salts include inorganic acid salts such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate, hydroiodide, nitrate, and phosphate, and organic acid salts such as citrate, oxalate, phthalate, fumarate, maleate, succinate, malate, acetate, formate, propionate, benzoate, trifluoroacetate, methanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, para-toluenesulfonate, and camphorsulfonate. Furthermore, base addition salts include inorganic base salts such as sodium salt, potassium salt, calcium salt, magnesium salt, barium salt, and aluminum salt, and organic base salts such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, pyridine, picoline, 2,6-lutidine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine [tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine], tert-butylamine, cyclohexylamine, dicyclohexylamine, and N,N-dibenzylethylamine. Furthermore, "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" also include amino acid salts with basic or acidic amino acids such as arginine, lysine, ornithine, aspartic acid, or glutamic acid.
[0252] Suitable salts of starting materials and intermediates, as well as salts acceptable as pharmaceutical raw materials, are conventional non-toxic salts, including, for example, acid addition salts such as organic acid salts (e.g., acetate, trifluoroacetate, maleate, fumarate, citrate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, formate, toluenesulfonate, etc.) and inorganic acid salts (e.g., hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, etc.), salts with amino acids (e.g., arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, etc.), metal salts such as alkali metal salts (e.g., sodium salt, potassium salt), alkaline earth metal salts (e.g., calcium salt, magnesium salt), ammonium salts, organic base salts (e.g., trimethylamine salt, triethylamine salt, pyridine salt, picoline salt, dicyclohexylamine salt, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine salt, etc.), and others that can be appropriately selected by those skilled in the art.
[0253] In the present disclosure, any one or more of the compounds represented by formulas (1) to (5) 1 H 2 Deuterium-converted products converted to H(D) are also included in the compounds represented by formulas (1) to (5).
[0254] The present disclosure includes compounds represented by formulas (1) to (5) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In addition, the compounds of the present disclosure may exist in the form of hydrates and / or solvates with various solvents (such as ethanol solvates), and these hydrates and / or solvates are also included in the compounds of the present disclosure.

Furthermore, if necessary, at an appropriate stage of the production method, the racemate of the corresponding starting material, intermediate, or final product can be physically or chemically resolved into its optical antipodes by known separation methods such as a method using an optically active column or fractional crystallization. Examples of such resolution methods include a diastereomeric method in which a racemate is reacted with an optically active resolving agent to synthesize two diastereomers, which are then separated by a method such as fractional crystallization, taking advantage of their different physical properties.
[0257] When it is desired to obtain a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of the present disclosure, if the compound represented by formulas (1) to (5) is obtained in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, it may be purified as is, or if it is obtained in the free form, it may be dissolved or suspended in an appropriate organic solvent, and an acid or a base may be added to form a salt by a conventional method.
[0258] Liposomes encapsulating the compounds of the present disclosure can be produced, for example, by the following method.
[0259] [Step 1] Membrane components such as phospholipids and cholesterol are dissolved in an organic solvent such as chloroform, and the organic solvent is evaporated in a flask to form a thin film of the lipid mixture on the inner wall of the flask. Alternatively, the lipid mixture may be obtained as a lyophilized product by dissolving the components in t-butyl alcohol or the like and then lyophilizing the solution. Alternatively, membrane components such as phospholipids and cholesterol may be dissolved in an organic solvent and then powdered using a CRUX instant vacuum dryer (manufactured by Hosokawa Micron Corporation) to obtain a lipid mixture, which is available from Nippon Fine Chemical Co., Ltd. under the name Presome (registered trademark).
[0260] [Step 2] An internal aqueous phase solution such as an aqueous ammonium sulfate solution is added to the lipid mixture obtained in step 1 and dispersed to obtain a crude liposome dispersion.
[0261] [Step 3] The crude liposome dispersion obtained in step 2 is passed through a filter using an extruder to obtain a desired particle size. Alternatively, the crude liposome dispersion obtained in step 2 is extruded from a nozzle at high pressure using a high-pressure homogenizer to obtain a desired particle size. The liposome particle size is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 10 nm to 200 nm, preferably 30 nm to 150 nm, more preferably 40 nm to 140 nm, even more preferably 50 to 120 nm, and most preferably 60 to 100 nm. The liposome particle size is an average value measured by dynamic light scattering, and can be measured, for example, using a Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern Instruments).
[0262] [Step 4] The external aqueous phase of the liposome solution obtained in step 3 is replaced by gel filtration, dialysis, tangential flow filtration, ultracentrifugation, or the like.
[0263] [Step 5] The liposome solution obtained in step 4, in which the external aqueous phase has been replaced, is incubated with the compound to be encapsulated, thereby encapsulating the compound in the liposomes.
[0264] [Step 6] The resulting liposomes encapsulating the compound are subjected to gel filtration, dialysis, tangential flow filtration, ultracentrifugation, etc. to remove any unencapsulated compound. Note that if a desired encapsulation rate is obtained in step 5, step 6 can be omitted.

"Exhibiting resistance to anti-PD-L1 antibodies" means a state in which an increase in the number of cancer cells in the blood cannot be suppressed even when the above-mentioned anti-PD-L1 antibodies are administered.
[0280] Anti-PD-1 antibodies are proteins that recognize the PD-1 molecule, have a Y-shaped four-chain structure (two light and two heavy polypeptide chains), and are molecules that selectively recognize one molecule via the Fab region. Anti-PD-1 antibodies are produced by fusing antibody-producing B cells with myeloma to produce hybridomas, and then purifying the antibodies secreted into the culture supernatant.
[0281] The M1-M2 ratio of macrophages refers to the ratio of a cell population defined by M1 macrophage markers (e.g., CD86, STAT1, IL-1beta, iNOS, CXCL9, CXCL10, etc.) to a cell population defined by M2 macrophage markers (e.g., Mrc1, Arg1, CD163, etc.). A higher value indicates a more inflammatory environment within the tumor, making it easier for anti-PD-1 / PD-L1 antibodies to be effective.
[0282] A solid cancer with a high tumor mutation burden (Tumor Mutation Burden-High; TMB-High) refers to a cancer with a TMB score of 10 mut / Mb or more as measured in FoundationOne CDx Cancer Genomic Profile.
[0283] "Anti-PD-1 antibody responsive patients" refers to a state in which tumor growth is suppressed by administering anti-PD-1 antibodies. A state in which tumor growth is suppressed refers to stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) according to the RECIST criteria. In particular, a state in which the effect of tumor growth suppression continues for 6 months (24 weeks) or more is called durable clinical benefit (DCB).
[0284] The CHK1 inhibitor and the immune checkpoint inhibitor may be administered simultaneously, and then the anti-PD-1 antibody may be administered 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, or 6 weeks later.

[0364] Test Example 4: Evaluation of CYP3A4 MBI and Enzyme Inactivation Clearance Cytochrome P450 (hereinafter referred to as CYP) is the most important enzyme group involved in drug metabolism, and many pharmacokinetic interactions are based on the inhibition of these CYP activities. There are multiple molecular species of CYP, and CYP3A4 in particular is most involved in the metabolism of drugs in CYP-mediated oxidation reactions, and accounts for the majority of CYP present in the liver.
[0365] There are two main types of CYP inhibition: "reversible inhibition" and "irreversible inhibition (mechanism-based inhibition: MBI)." In particular, MBI-based CYP inhibition is known to have the potential to cause not only drug interactions but also serious side effects (such as hepatotoxicity) (Curr Opin Drug Discover Devel. 2010 January, 13(1), 66-77, Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management, 2005, 1(1), 3-13).

After a metabolic reaction at 37°C for 30 minutes, the substrate-derived metabolic products in the test compound-added group (4 concentrations) and the substrate-derived metabolic products in the non-added group were measured by LC-MS / MS, and the inhibition rate was calculated from the ratio. In addition, the IC 50 If the test compound exhibits MBI activity, the IC value was calculated by pre-incubating the compound in the presence of NADPH (cofactor) and then adding a substrate to initiate the reaction. 50 Since it is known that pre-incubation reduces the IC 50 If the value changed by 2-fold or more, it was judged that there was an MBI effect.
[0368] If MBI action is observed, k inact(maximum enzyme inactivation rate constant) and K I The enzyme inactivation clearance (CL) (the concentration of the inhibitor that results in 50% of the maximum enzyme inactivation rate) was calculated by the nonlinear least squares method. Furthermore, the enzyme inactivation clearance (CL) was calculated according to the method described in Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 2011, 39(7), 1247-1254. int = k inact / K I (ml / min / mmol)×CYP contents (pmol / mg protein)).
[0369] Pre-incubation IC as an index of MBI action on CYP3A4 of each example compound and prexasertib 50 The fold change in values and enzyme inactivation clearance are shown in the table below.
[0370] The present inventors have newly discovered that prexasertib inhibits CYP3A4 based on MBI, and therefore there is a risk of causing serious side effects such as hepatotoxicity.
[0371] As shown in the table above, it was revealed that although prexasertib exhibits MBI-based inhibition of CYP3A4, the compounds of Examples 1, 2, 4, 6 to 8, 14, 29 to 31, 34, 37, and 38 do not exhibit MBI-based inhibition of CYP3A4. These results indicate that the compounds of Examples 1, 2, 4, 6 to 8, 14, 29 to 31, 34, 37, and 38 have heterogeneous effects, such as high safety with reduced risk of not only drug interactions but also serious side effects such as hepatotoxicity. Among these, the compound represented by formula (3) exhibits particularly high safety and heterogeneous effects.
[0372] Test Example 5. Human bone marrow cell colony formation test (blood toxicity evaluation test) Human bone marrow CD34-positive hematopoietic stem cells were obtained from Lonza Co., Ltd. The frozen cells were thawed in a 9:1 mixture of Methocult Express medium and RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin / streptomycin, and 5,000 cells were seeded per well in a 6-well plate. The cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO 2 The cells were cultured overnight in the presence of DMSO. The compound to be evaluated was added to a final concentration of 0.1% and 100 nM DMSO, and the cells were cultured for 48 hours. The cells were harvested and washed with PBS. One-sixth of the amount of cells was seeded into a 12-well plate and incubated at 37°C, 5% CO 2 After completion of the culture, the number of colonies formed was counted using thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT).
[0373] The representative compounds obtained in the Examples and Prexasertib were subjected to the test shown in Test Example 5. The results are shown in the table below.
[0374] As shown in the above table, it was revealed that 100 nM of prexasertib exhibited an inhibitory effect on human bone marrow cell colony formation, whereas 100 nM of Example 1 did not exhibit an inhibitory effect on human bone marrow cell colony formation. From these results, the compound of Example 1 has a heterogeneous effect with high safety in terms of hematotoxicity.
[0375] Test Example 6 Liposome Encapsulation Test A liposome encapsulation test was carried out for representative Example compounds and Prexasertib.
[0376] 6.48 g of hydrogenated soybean phosphatidylcholine (COATSOME NC-21E, NOF Corporation), 2.32 g of cholesterol (Sigma), and 2.06 g of distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine-methoxypolyethylene glycol 2000 (SUNBRIGHT DSPE-020CN, NOF Corporation) were dissolved in 560 mL of t-butyl alcohol heated to 65°C. This solution was frozen in a dry ice-acetone bath, and then the t-butyl alcohol was removed by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain a lipid mixture.
[0377] To the lipid mixture, 200 mL of 250 mM ammonium sulfate solution was added, heated to 65°C, and dispersed using a homogenizer (ULTRA-TURRAX, manufactured by IKA Corporation) to obtain a crude liposome dispersion. The crude liposome dispersion was then dispersed using a high-pressure homogenizer (Nano-Mizer NM2, manufactured by Yoshida Kikai Kogyo Co., Ltd.) at 100 MPa to obtain liposomes with an average particle size (Z-average) of approximately 80 nm. Using a dialysis cassette (Slide-A-Lyzer G2 Dialysis Cassettes 20K MWCO, manufactured by Thermo Scientific), the outer aqueous phase of the liposomes was replaced with 10 mM L-histidine buffer / 10% sucrose solution (pH 6.5) to obtain a blank liposome solution. The mixture was filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane filter, and a 10 mM L-histidine buffer / 10% sucrose solution (pH 6.5) was added to adjust the total lipid concentration to 75 mM (75 μmol / mL) or 50 mM (50 μmol / mL). The amount of the mixture was adjusted as needed.
[0378] 2-3 mg of the test compound was weighed out, 1 mL of empty liposome solution with a total lipid concentration of 50 mM was added, and the pH was adjusted to 5.5-7 with 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid or 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, and the mixture was heated in a water bath at 65°C for 10-30 minutes and then cooled on ice. Any insoluble matter was removed by centrifugation at 15,000 x g for 5 minutes.
[0379] The liposome encapsulation rate was calculated as follows. 100 μL of the liposome solution was placed in an ultrafiltration filter (Amicon Ultra, 100K, 0.5 mL, manufactured by Merck) and centrifuged at 4°C and 15,000 × g for 10 minutes. The compound concentration in the filtrate after ultrafiltration was measured by HPLC and used as the unencapsulated compound concentration. The liposome solution was diluted with a trifluoroacetic acid / water / methanol mixture (0.1 / 25 / 75) and allowed to stand at 5°C for 10 minutes or more. Insoluble matter was removed by centrifugation at 15,000 × g for 5 minutes, and the compound concentration in the supernatant was measured by HPLC and used as the compound concentration in the liposome solution. The encapsulation rate and encapsulation efficiency were calculated using the following formulas. Encapsulation rate (%) = (compound concentration in liposome solution - concentration of unencapsulated compound) x 100 / compound concentration in liposome solution Encapsulation efficiency (%) = (compound concentration in liposome solution - concentration of unencapsulated compound) x 100 / compound concentration at time of introduction
[0380] The HPLC measurement conditions are as follows: HPLC conditions Column: Acquity UPLC BEH C18, 1.7 μm, 50 × 2.1 mm Column temperature: 40°C Mobile phase: A: Water containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid B: Acetonitrile A / B (min): 95 / 5 (0) → 0 / 100 (3.5) → 0 / 100 (4) → 95 / 5 (4.01) → 95 / 5 (5) Flow rate: 0.8 mL / min Detection: UV-visible detector Measurement wavelength: 254 nm Injection volume: 3 μL or 5 μL
[0381]
[0382] It was confirmed that prexasertib and Examples 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 achieved high encapsulation efficiencies of 80% or more. Furthermore, during the liposome encapsulation procedure in Example 4, a significant increase in liquid viscosity was observed when 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH. This increase in viscosity may pose a problem when producing liposomes on a large scale. On the other hand, no increase in viscosity was observed during the liposome encapsulation procedure in Examples 1, 3, 5, and 6. Therefore, the compounds represented by formulas (3) and (4) demonstrated particularly favorable liposome encapsulation operability.
[0383] Test Example 6A. Liposome Encapsulation Test of Example 1 A liposome encapsulation test was carried out on the compound of Example 1.
[0384] 11.08 g of Presome ACD-1 (a pre-prepared mixture of hydrogenated soybean phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine-methoxypolyethylene glycol 2000 in a mass ratio of 3:1:1, manufactured by Nippon Fine Chemical Co., Ltd.) was weighed out, 200 mL of 250 mM ammonium sulfate solution was added, and the mixture was heated to 65°C and dispersed using a homogenizer (ULTRA-TURRAX, manufactured by IKA Corporation) to obtain a crude liposome dispersion. The crude liposome dispersion was further dispersed using a high-pressure homogenizer (Nano-Mizer NM2, manufactured by Yoshida Kikai Kogyo Co., Ltd.) at a pressure of 100 MPa to obtain liposomes with an average particle size (Z-average) of 80 nm. Using a dialysis cassette (Slide-A-Lyzer G2 Dialysis Cassettes 20K MWCO, manufactured by Thermo Scientific), the outer aqueous phase of the liposomes was replaced with a 10 mM L-histidine buffer / 10% sucrose solution (pH 6.5), and the resulting solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane filter to obtain a blank liposome solution with a total lipid concentration of 75 mM (75 μmol / mL).
[0385] The compound of Example 1 was weighed out, and about 0.4 mL of 10 mM L-histidine buffer / 10% sucrose solution (pH 6.5), about 0.1 mL of 0.1 mol / L hydrochloric acid, and 1 mL of the above empty liposome solution were added, and the pH was adjusted to 6 to 6.5 by adding 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid. The mixture was heated in a water bath at 65°C for 30 minutes and then cooled on ice. Thereafter, the mixture was filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane filter.
[0386] The liposome encapsulation rate was calculated as follows. Unencapsulated compound concentration: 100 μL of 4% phosphoric acid aqueous solution was added to 100 μL of liposome solution, and the compound concentration was measured by HPLC. The HPLC measurement conditions are as follows. HPLC conditions Column: MonoSelect nPEC (GL Sciences Inc.)

The mixture was centrifuged at 15,000 x g for 5 minutes to remove insoluble matter, and the compound concentration of the supernatant was measured by HPLC. The HPLC measurement conditions were as follows. HPLC conditions: Column: Acquity UPLC BEH C18, 1.7 μm, 50 x 2.1 mm; Column temperature: 40°C; Mobile phase: A: Water containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid; B: Acetonitrile; A / B (min): 95 / 5 (0) → 0 / 100 (3.5) → 0 / 100 (4) → 95 / 5 (4.01) → 95 / 5 (5); Flow rate: 0.8 mL / min; Detection: UV-visible detector; Measurement wavelength: 254 nm; Injection volume: 5 μL
[0388] The encapsulation rate and encapsulation efficiency were calculated using the following formulas: encapsulation rate (%) = (compound concentration in liposome solution - concentration of unencapsulated compound) x 100 / compound concentration in liposome solution encapsulation efficiency (%) = (compound concentration in liposome solution - concentration of unencapsulated compound) x 100 / compound concentration at introduction
[0389]
[0390] It was confirmed that Example 1 was able to achieve a high liposome encapsulation efficiency of 90% or more.
[0391] Test Example 6B. Liposome Encapsulation Test of Example 1 A liposome encapsulation test was carried out on the compound of Example 1.
[0392] 11.08 g of Presome ACD-1 (a pre-prepared mixture of hydrogenated soybean phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine-methoxypolyethylene glycol 2000 in a mass ratio of 3:1:1, manufactured by Nippon Fine Chemical Co., Ltd.) was weighed out, 200 mL of 250 mM ammonium sulfate solution was added, and the mixture was heated to 65°C and dispersed using a homogenizer (ULTRA-TURRAX, manufactured by IKA Corporation) to obtain a crude liposome dispersion. The crude liposome dispersion was further dispersed using a high-pressure homogenizer (Nano-Mizer NM2, manufactured by Yoshida Kikai Kogyo Co., Ltd.) at a pressure of 100 MPa to obtain liposomes with an average particle size (Z-average) of 81 nm. Using a dialysis cassette (Slide-A-Lyzer G2 Dialysis Cassettes 20K MWCO, manufactured by Thermo Scientific), the outer aqueous phase of the liposomes was replaced with a 10 mM L-histidine buffer / 9.4% sucrose solution (pH 6.5), and the resulting solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane filter to obtain a blank liposome solution with a total lipid concentration of 53.1 mg / mL.
[0393] 120 mg of the compound of Example 1 was weighed out, and 18.3 mL of 10 mM L-histidine buffer / 9.4% sucrose solution (pH 6.5), 0.3 mL of 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid, and 41.7 mL of the above empty liposome solution were added, and the pH was adjusted to 6.5 with 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid or 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide. This solution was heated in a 50°C water bath for 30 minutes, then ice-cooled and filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane filter. The compound concentration in the liposome solution of Example 1 was 2.00 mg / mL, the encapsulation rate was 98.0%, and the average particle size (Z-average) was 84 nm.
[0394] The liposome encapsulation rate was calculated as follows. Unencapsulated compound concentration: 100 μL of liposome solution, 100 μL of 4% phosphoric acid aqueous solution, and 300 μL of physiological saline were mixed and centrifuged at 100,000 × g for 60 minutes to remove insoluble matter, and the compound concentration in the supernatant was measured by HPLC. Compound concentration in liposome solution: The liposome solution was diluted with a trifluoroacetic acid / water / methanol mixture (0.1 / 25 / 75) and allowed to stand at 5°C for 10 minutes or more. Insoluble matter was removed by centrifugation at 15,000 × g for 5 minutes, and the compound concentration in the supernatant was measured by HPLC. The HPLC measurement conditions are as follows. HPLC conditions Column: Acquity UPLC BEH C18, 1.7 μm, 50 × 2.1 mm Column temperature: 40 ° C. Mobile phase: A: Water containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid B: Acetonitrile A / B (min): 95 / 5 (0) → 0 / 100 (3.5) → 0 / 100 (4) → 95 / 5 (4.01) → 95 / 5 (5) Flow rate: 0.8 mL / min Detection: UV-visible detector Measurement wavelength: 254 nm Injection volume: 5 μL
[0395] The encapsulation rate was calculated using the following formula: encapsulation rate (%) = (compound concentration in liposome solution - unencapsulated compound concentration) x 100 / compound concentration in liposome solution
[0396] Liposomes encapsulating the compound of Example 1 were stored at 5° C., and changes in compound concentration, encapsulation rate, and average particle size were confirmed. As shown in Table 11, no significant changes were observed in the compound concentration, encapsulation rate, and average particle size of liposomes encapsulating Example 1, demonstrating excellent storage stability.
[0397]
[0398] Test Example 7 Pharmacokinetics Test The solution formulation of prexasertib, Examples 1, 3, and 6, and the liposome formulation of prexasertib were intravenously administered to mice, and the concentrations of the test substances in the blood were measured.
[0399] The solution preparations were prepared by dissolving the compound in a 10 mM glycine / 5% mannitol solution (pH 2) or a 10 mM glycine / 5% mannitol solution (pH 2) containing 20% sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin, and then filtering the solution through a 0.22 μm membrane filter.
[0400] The liposome preparations used were prepared by preparing liposomes encapsulating a test compound in the same manner as in Test Example 6, replacing the outer aqueous phase of the liposomes with 10 mM L-histidine buffer / 10% sucrose solution (pH 6.5) using a gel filtration column PD-10 (GE Healthcare), filtering the liposomes with a 0.22 μm membrane filter, and adjusting the concentration by adding 10 mM L-histidine buffer / 10% sucrose solution (pH 6.5).
[0401] <Administration test> The solution formulation or liposome formulation was intravenously administered to 7-week-old female BALB / c mice, and blood was collected from the jugular vein without anesthesia over time up to 72 hours after administration. Immediately after collection, four volumes of methanol were added to the blood, which was then centrifuged, and the concentration of the test compound in the resulting supernatant was quantified by LC-MS / MS.
[0402] The LC-MS / MS measurement conditions were as follows: HPLC: Prominence system (Shimadzu Corporation) MS / MS: 4000 QTRAP (SCIEX) Column: Cadenza CD-C18, 3 μm, 50 × 2 mm (Intact Corporation) Column temperature: 40°C Mobile phase: A: water containing 0.1% formic acid B: acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid A / B (min): 90 / 10 (0) → 10 / 90 (2.5) → 10 / 90 (3.5) → 90 / 10 (3.6) → 90 / 10 (5.0) Flow rate: 0.4 mL / min Detection: ESI (positive mode) Injection volume: 0.1 to 5 μL
[0403] The test results are shown in the tables below. In the tables, "mean" means the average and "S.D." means the standard deviation. The plasma concentrations of the test compound from 0 hours after administration to 72 hours after administration are shown in Tables 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16.
[0404]
[0405]
[0406]
[0407]
[0408]
[0409] The AUC for Examples 1, 3, and 6 and the liposome formulation of prexasertib was calculated by the trapezoidal method from 0 hour after administration to the time point (t) at which the plasma test compound concentration could be quantified, and is shown in Table 17.
[0410] The above results confirmed that the liposome-encapsulated liposomes of Examples 1 and 3, when administered intravenously, exhibited high blood retention. These results demonstrated the achievement of a sustained exposure of 72 hours, which is important for maximizing the efficacy of prexasertib, as reported in non-clinical studies. Therefore, Examples 1 and 3 have excellent pharmacokinetic profiles and are highly useful as anticancer agents. It was demonstrated that the specific position of the nitrogen atom on the pyridine ring, a characteristic of the compound represented by formula (3), is important.
[0411] Test Example 8. Drug efficacy evaluation test using tumor-bearing mice transplanted with ES-2 cells. The antitumor effects of prexasertib, a liposome preparation encapsulating prexasertib, and a liposome preparation encapsulating Example 1 were evaluated.
[0412] The solution formulation of prexasertib was prepared by dissolving prexasertib in a 10 mM glycine / 5% mannitol solution (pH 2) containing 20% sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin, and then filtering the solution through a 0.22 μm membrane filter.
[0413] Liposomal formulations were prepared in the same manner as in Test Example 6. A test compound was weighed out, and a blank liposome solution with a total lipid concentration of 50 mM was added to the mixture to give a compound concentration of 2 mg / mL. 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH to 6-7. Alternatively, a 10 mM L-histidine buffer / 10% sucrose solution (pH 6.5) and hydrochloric acid were added to the test compound to dissolve or disperse the compound, and a blank liposome solution with a total lipid concentration of 75 mM was added to give a compound concentration of 2 mg / mL, adjusting the pH to 6-7. This solution was heated in a 65°C water bath for 10-30 minutes and then ice-cooled. The mixture was allowed to stand overnight or longer in a 5°C refrigerator and then filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane filter. The liposome encapsulation rate calculated by the method described in Test Example 6 was 99% or higher.
[0414] 4-7 week-old BALB / c-nu / nu mice (CANN.Cg-Foxn1nu / CrlCrlj, female, Charles River Japan) were inoculated with 1 × 10 ES-2 cells (ATCC). 6 The tumors were intradermally transplanted around the ventral region to achieve a ratio of 1000 cells / mouse. After confirming the engraftment of ES-2 cells 5 to 14 days after transplantation, the solution formulation was administered intravenously once a week at a dose of 30 mg / kg or the liposome formulation was administered subcutaneously twice a day for three consecutive days at a dose of 3 mg / kg, 7.5 mg / kg, or 20 mg / kg (a total of six administrations per week). The tumor volume was measured over time from the start of administration, and the effect of compound administration on tumor volume reduction was evaluated. The tumor volume was calculated using the following formula, using the minor and major diameters of the tumor measured with an electronic caliper (Mitutoyo).
[0415] Tumor volume [mm 3 ] = 0.5×(breadth diameter [mm]) 2 × major axis [mm]
[0416] A control group administered with only the solvent was compared with a group administered with a compound of the present disclosure, and the T / C was calculated using the following formula to evaluate the antitumor effect. The percentage of complete tumor regression (CR) individuals at the end of administration of the solution formulation or liposome formulation was also recorded. For the control group, an empty liposome solution prepared in the same manner as in Test Example 6 was used.
[0417] T / C (%) = (tumor volume at the end of administration in the group administered with the compound of the present disclosure - tumor volume at the start of administration in the group administered with the compound of the present disclosure) / (tumor volume at the end of administration in the control administration group - tumor volume at the start of administration in the control administration group) × 100
[0418] Table 18 shows the T / C (%) and CR rate for tumor-bearing mice transplanted with ES-2 cells at each dose and administration period of the test compound.
[0419] In efficacy evaluation tests using tumor-bearing mice, liposomally formulated Example 1 was found to exhibit excellent antitumor effects at all doses, similar to those of liposomally formulated plexasertib. In evaluation tests using a dose of 20 mg / kg, these liposomal formulations achieved tumor regression that was not achieved with solution-formulated plexasertib. These test results demonstrate that Example 1 is a promising compound that exhibits excellent antitumor effects and has exceptional efficacy.
[0420] Test Example 9. Measurement of neutrophil count using tumor-bearing mice transplanted with ES-2 cells 1×10 ES-2 cells (ATCC) were transplanted into 4- to 7-week-old BALB / c-nu / nu mice (CANN.Cg-Foxn1nu / CrlCrlj, female, Charles River Japan). 6 The cells were intradermally transplanted around the abdominal region to form a 100% ES-2 cell / mouse ratio. After confirming the engraftment of ES-2 cells 5 to 14 days after transplantation, a liposome formulation encapsulating prexasertib and a liposome formulation encapsulating Example 1 were administered intravenously in single doses. 72 hours after administration, blood was collected and the neutrophil count was measured. For comparison in this test, an empty liposome solution prepared in the same manner as in Test Example 6 was used.
[0421] A control group administered with blank liposome solution was compared with treatment groups administered with liposome-formulated Example 1 and liposome-formulated plexasertib, and the neutrophil survival rate was calculated using the following formula to evaluate the safety of each formulation.
[0422] Neutrophil survival rate (%) = (neutrophil count in the treatment group 72 hours after administration) / (neutrophil count in the control treatment group 72 hours after administration) × 100
[0423] Table 19 shows the survival rate of neutrophils in tumor-bearing mice transplanted with ES-2 cells.
[0424]
[0425] The liposomal formulation of Example 1 exhibits the same antitumor effect as liposomal formulation of plexasertib at the same dose. At the minimum effective dose of 3 mg / kg, liposomal formulation of plexasertib exhibited a neutrophil survival rate of 15%, demonstrating simultaneous observation of antitumor efficacy and hematotoxicity. On the other hand, at the minimum effective dose of 3 mg / kg, liposomal formulation of Example 1 exhibited a neutrophil survival rate of 61%, demonstrating reduced hematotoxicity side effects. Furthermore, as shown in Test Example 8, liposomal formulation of Example 1 exhibited a higher neutrophil survival rate at a dose of 20 mg / kg, at which tumor regression was observed, than liposomal formulation of plexasertib administered at 7.5 mg / kg. Thus, Example 1 is an excellent compound possessing both higher safety and efficacy than plexasertib, and exhibits exceptional effects. Similarly, the liposomal formulation of Example 1 is an excellent compound possessing both high safety and efficacy, and exhibits exceptional effects.
[0426] Test Example 10. Human bone marrow cell myeloid differentiation induction test (hematotoxicity evaluation test) Human bone marrow CD34-positive hematopoietic stem cells were obtained from Lonza Co., Ltd. The frozen cells were thawed in IMDM medium containing 1% fetal bovine serum, suspended in Complete hemaTox (registered trademark) Myeloid Medium, and seeded at 1,000 cells per well in a 96-well plate. The compound to be evaluated was added to a final DMSO concentration of 0.1% and 3 nM, and the cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO 2 After the completion of the culture, half of the cell suspension per well was collected, and the luminescence intensity was measured using CellTiter-Glo (registered trademark) 3D Reagent (Promega, G968B). The cell survival rate was calculated using the following formula.
[0427] Cell survival rate (%)=(luminescence measurement value of the compound to be evaluated after 7 days) / (luminescence measurement value of the control group after 7 days)×100
[0428] The representative compounds obtained in the Examples and Prexasertib were subjected to the test shown in Test Example 10. The results are shown in the table below.
[0429] As shown in the above table, it was revealed that although 3 nM of Prexasertib exhibits an inhibitory effect on myeloid cells differentiated from human bone marrow cells, 3 nM of Example 1 does not exhibit an inhibitory effect on myeloid cells differentiated from human bone marrow cells. From these results, compared to Prexasertib, Example 1 is a compound that is highly safe in terms of hematotoxicity and has exceptional and unique effects.
[0430] Test Example 11. Tumor PD test using tumor-bearing mice transplanted with ES-2 cells. The pharmacodynamic (PD) response in tumors was evaluated using prexasertib, a liposome preparation encapsulating prexasertib, and a liposome preparation encapsulating Example 1.
[0431] The solution formulation of prexasertib was prepared by dissolving prexasertib in a 10 mM glycine / 5% mannitol solution (pH 2) containing 20% sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin, and then filtering the solution through a 0.22 μm membrane filter.
[0432] Liposomal formulations were prepared in the same manner as in Test Example 6. A test compound was weighed out, and a blank liposome solution with a total lipid concentration of 50 mM was added to the mixture to give a compound concentration of 2 mg / mL. 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH to 6-7. Alternatively, a 10 mM L-histidine buffer / 10% sucrose solution (pH 6.5) and hydrochloric acid were added to the test compound to dissolve or disperse the compound, and a blank liposome solution with a total lipid concentration of 75 mM was added to give a compound concentration of 2 mg / mL, adjusting the pH to 6-7. This solution was heated in a 65°C water bath for 10-30 minutes and then ice-cooled. The mixture was allowed to stand overnight or longer in a 5°C refrigerator and then filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane filter. The liposome encapsulation rate calculated by the method described in Test Example 6 was 99% or higher.
[0433] 4-7 week old BALB / c-nu / nu mice (CANN.Cg-Foxn1nu / CrlCrlj, female, Charles River Japan) were inoculated with 1 × 10 ovarian cancer ES-2 cells (ATCC). 6 The tumors were intradermally transplanted around the ventral region to achieve a concentration of 1000 cells / mouse. Five to 14 days after transplantation, ES-2 cell engraftment was confirmed, and then the cells were administered under the following conditions for each test: Test A: A single intravenous administration of the solution formulation at 30 mg / kg or the liposome formulation at 7.5 mg / kg, 3 mg / kg, 1 mg / kg, or 0.3 mg / kg was performed. Test B: A single intravenous administration of the solution formulation at 30 mg / kg or the liposome formulation at 7.5 mg / kg, 3 mg / kg, 1 mg / kg, or 0.3 mg / kg was performed. Test C: A single intravenous administration of the liposome formulation at 20 mg / kg, 7.5 mg / kg, 3 mg / kg, 1 mg / kg, or 0.3 mg / kg was performed. Tumors were harvested 1, 3, or 6 days after administration, and the PD response of the tumors to the compound administration was evaluated.
[0434] The PD response in tumors was evaluated by Western blotting. Band intensities detected with anti-γH2AX antibody (05-636, Merck) and anti-tubulin antibody (3873, Cell Signaling Technology) were calculated using ImageJ software.

For the control group, an empty liposome solution prepared in the same manner as in Test Example 6 was used.

[0073] From the above results, as shown in Test Example 11, Test A, when liposomal formulation of plexasertib was administered, a strong PD response was observed at a dose of 7.5 mg / kg three days after administration, achieving a PD response that could not be achieved with solution-formulated plexasertib. As shown in Test Example 11, Test B, when liposomal formulation of Example 1 was administered, a strong PD response was observed at a dose of 7.5 mg / kg one day after administration, achieving a PD response that could not be achieved with solution-formulated plexasertib. As shown in Test Example 11, Test C, when liposomal formulation of Example 1 was administered, a strong PD response was observed at doses of 7.5 mg / kg and 20 mg / kg three and six days after administration.

Five to 14 days after transplantation, the engraftment of ES-2 cells was confirmed using an IVIS Imaging System (PerkinElmer), and then the solution formulation was administered intravenously once a week at a dose of 30 mg / kg or the liposome formulation at 4.5 mg / kg or 20 mg / kg. Luciferase-induced luminescence was measured over time from the start of administration to evaluate the tumor shrinkage effect of compound administration. The mice were observed based on the tumor size, systemic symptoms, and weight transition estimated from luciferase-induced luminescence, and the survival time of mice that showed no serious findings and were in good health was measured.
[0444] The median survival time was calculated for the control group administered with only the solvent and the group administered with the compound of the present disclosure, and the antitumor effect was evaluated. An empty liposome solution was used for the control group.
