The terms “treat” or “treatment” of a disease include inhibiting the disease, that is, stopping the development of the disease or its clinical symptoms, or alleviating the disease, that is, causing a temporary or permanent regression of the disease or its symptoms. clinical symptoms. Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of the bonds of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are called “isomers.” Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are called “stereoisomers.” Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other are called “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are called “enantiomers.” When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, if a carbon atom is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S- priority rules of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog, or according to the way in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and is designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-) isomer, respectively). A chiral compound can exist as an individual enantiomer or as their mixtures. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture.” Compounds of Formula I may have one or more asymmetric centers or axes. Unless otherwise indicated, the description or name of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers, atropisomers and their mixtures, racemic or otherwise, as well as individual epimers, atropisomers and their mixtures. The method for determination of stoichiometry and separation of stereoisomers are well known in the art (see discussion in Chapter 4 of Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4th edition J. March, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1992). Certain compounds can exhibit tautomerism. Tautomeric compounds can exist as two or more interconvertible species. Prototrophic tautomers form from the migration between two atoms of a covalently bonded hydrogen atom. Tautomers generally exist in equilibrium and usually when attempting to isolate an individual tautomer there is a CCfrQ Ln / Zznz / E / YIAI mixture whose chemical and physical properties are consistent with those of a mixture of compounds. The equilibrium position depends on intrinsic chemical characteristics of the molecule. For example, in many aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, such as acetaldehyde, the keto form predominates, while in phenols, the enol form predominates. Common prototrophic tautomers include keto / enol (-C(=O)-CH- θ -C(-OH)=CH-), amide / imidic acid tautomers (-C(=O)-NH- θ -C(- OH)=N-) and amidine (-C(=NR)-NH«-> -C(-NHR)=N-). The latter two are particularly common in heteroaryl and heterocyclic rings and the present invention encompasses all tautomeric forms of the compounds. The present compounds of Formula I were recently found to be inhibitors of Mat2A and as such may be of therapeutic use for the treatment of cancer-related disorders including lung adenocarcinoma, melanoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, lung squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal carcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme and mesothelioma. These compounds are potent inhibitors of human methionine adenosyltransferase II alpha (MAT2A). MAT2A and MAT1A (methionine adenosyltransferase I alpha) are two genes that encode methionine adenosyltransferase activity that thus produce S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the main donor of the methyl group in cells. MAT1A is a liver-specific SAM-producing enzyme, while MAT2A is ubiquitously expressed except in the liver. MAT2A is found in complex with MAT2B (methionine adenosyltransferase II beta), an allosteric regulator of MAT2A, and MAT2B acts as a rheostat for the enzymatic activity of MAT2A. When MAT2B binds to MAT2A, MAT2A undergoes a conformational change that increases its affinity for methionine and SAM. The net effect is that MAT2A, when bound to MAT2B, is more active under conditions of low methionine concentrations, but is inhibited under conditions of high methionine concentrations. Loss-of-function mutations in tumor suppressor genes are critical in the pathogenesis of cancer, however, targeting tumor suppressor genes successfully has been difficult to achieve mainly because the mutated proteins cannot be directly inhibited. to achieve therapeutic benefit, and restoration of mutated function (such as restoration of function of p53 mutation) has not been possible so far. The recent clinical success of inhibiting PARP in BRCA1 / 2-deficient patients showed that targeting conditional synthetic lethality (CSL) arising from loss-of-function mutations in tumor suppressors is a valid clinical approach for the treatment of cancers. The CSL relationship is not only valid for tumor suppressors but can also be extended to genes that reside in the same genetic region as tumor suppressor genes and are lost when that region is deleted. Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) is one such gene that is located in the vicinity of the tumor suppressor CDKN2A, and is deleted in ~15% of all cancers. MTAP is deleted in, but not limited to, ~53% glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), ~25% pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), ~25% melanoma, ~23% lung squamous cell carcinoma, ~20% of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and ~15% of lung adenocarcinoma. In fact, this deletion occurs for multiple conditions, many of which are areas in great need for medical solutions with CCfrQ Ln / Zznz / E / YIAI limited effective therapies. In glioblastoma, where the median survival is 14 months, the approval of newer therapies has not significantly increased overall survival (OS) time and the standard of care (SoC) has remained for more than one of each. The same is true for most PDAC patients where OS is less than 1 year. MTAP deletion is a stem event that occurs in early stages of tumor development and could be carried during all tumor evolution processes including metastasis. Therefore, its loss represents an alteration that is not affected due to tumor heterogeneity, genetic background, or resistance to any agent approved in clinical science. A CSL relationship that is identified for MTAP deficiency could represent a true Achilles' heel for multiple tumor-related conditions. MTAP is located very close to the tumor suppressor CDKN2A on chromosome 9. When CDKN2A is deleted, it is frequently deleted along with MTAP. Its loss is thought to be a neighborhood effect and phenotypically neutral. MTAP is the cornerstone of the adenine and methionine salvage pathways in cells. The methionine salvage pathway feeds the SAM production pathway and SAM levels are essential regulators of cancer cell growth that need to be strictly regulated since large changes in SAM concentrations, whether increases or decreases, lead to to cell cycle arrest. The importance of SAM levels in cancer growth lies in its central role in the methylation of proteins, DNA, and RNA, as it acts as a checkpoint for the health of the cell, and can be interpreted as hypomethylation when SAM decreases. or hypermethylation when SAM increases. Cells lacking MTAP accumulate methylthioadenosine (MTA) and decarboxylated SAM (dcSAM) without negatively affecting the levels of any metabolites / salvage products including SAM. This accumulation creates a new stress in the cell where MTA acts as a competitive inhibitor of SAM-dependent reactions, due to their structural similarity. Loss of MTAP forces the cell to adapt to a new MTA / SAM paradigm without loss of viability, which an MTAP-competent cell would not have to face, and this adaptation creates a robust dependence on methionine adenosyltransferase II alpha 2 (MAT2A). ), one of the enzymes that produces SAM, in MTAP-deficient cells. This synthetic conditional lethal (CSL) relationship of MTAP loss and MAT2A dependence was identified in three large-scale shRNA screens (Marjon Cell Reports 2016, Kryukov Science 2016, and Mavrakis Science 2016). Targeting MAT2A with inhibition by a small molecule could provide benefits to a genetically defined patient population, representing many areas in great need for medical solutions.

Dihalide A is deprotonated with strong bases (e.g. n-BuLI, LDA, LÍHDMS, TMPMgCI.LiCI) at low temperature (-78 °C) in THF and subsequently reacts with either aldaldehydes to obtain alcohol II (as shown). described in Synthesis, 1988, p. 803 - 805), or with the appropriate esters to directly obtain ketone III (as described in Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2007 p. 2501 - 2507). Alternatively, alcohol II can be oxidized to ketone III using common oxidizing agents (e.g. MnO2, Dess-Martin periodinane, TEMPO / Phl(OAc)2) in dichloromethane. Ketone III can subsequently react with hydrazine (aqueous or monohydrate) at room temperature or low temperature in THF, dioxane or ethanol to obtain pyrazoles IV (as described in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2019 p. 531 - 551). Alternatively, ketone III can be coupled with ester or boronic acids )) in the presence of carbonate bases (e.g., K2CO3, CS2CO3) to obtain ketone Vil which, in turn, is cyclized to pyrazole VIII with hydrazine. Alternatively, pyrazole IV can be protected at the N atom (e.g. SEM, THP or Triphyllum) under standard conditions, reacted similarly with boronic acid or esters or TFA) to obtain pyrazole VIII. Scheme 2 CCfrQ Ln / Zznz / E / YIAI o=s=o PG= protective group ix where X is halo, Rbes H o is cyclized to form the pinacol ester. Alternatively, the pyrazole III core can be formed from A1 anilines as described in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1954, 1176. Subsequent halogenation with halo-succinimides in polar solvents (e.g. DMF) produces halo-pyrazole IV. Protection at the N atom of pyrazole IV (e.g. SEM, THP or Trityl) under standard conditions then allows subsequent reaction of the halogen (e.g. Suzuki reaction) to obtain pyrazole VI. Halogenation of VI can be carried out using halo-succinimides, as above, to obtain pyrazole VI which is then coupled with boronic acids and esters and deprotonated as described in Scheme 1. A subgroup of compounds of Formula I or la, wherein X is halo, X1 is N, X2 is C-O, , can be prepared as set out in scheme 3 below. Scheme 3 CCfrQ ίη / ΖΖΠΖ / Ε / ΥΙΛΙ PG= protective group Pyridone structures are prepared by first protecting the pyrazole or pyrrole nitrogens of A2 with suitable protecting groups, for example (THP, SEM, Trityl) under standard conditions to obtain II. Derivatization of the halogen what its reinstatement is needed to obtain IV. Chan-Lam coupling of boronic acids V with copper(II) acetate-dependent catalysis with a mixture of pyridine and triethylamine produces derivative VI which, after standard removal of the protecting group (e.g., 4N HCl in dioxane, TFA ) produces the final compounds Vil.
