Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to compounds (DDR inhibitors) that inhibit discoidin domain receptors (DDR inhibitors), methods for preparing such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and their therapeutic use.
[0002] The compounds of the present invention are useful, for example, in the treatment of a number of disorders associated with DDR mechanisms.
Prior technology
[0003] Discoid domain receptors (DDRs) are type I transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The DDR family consists of two distinct members, DDR1 and DDR2.
[0004] DDR is a unique receptor among other members of the RTK superfamily, wherein DDR is activated by collagen, while other members of the RTK superfamily are usually activated by soluble peptide-like growth factors (see Vogel, W. (1997 ) Mol. Cell 1, 13-23; Shrivastava A. Mol Cell. 1997; 1:25-34.). Furthermore, DDR is also an unusual RTK because it forms a ligand-independent stable dimer that is not covalently linked (see Noordeen, N. A. (2006) J. Biol. Chem. 281, 22744-22751; Mihai C. J Mol Biol. 2009; 385:432-445).
[0005] The DDR1 subfamily is composed of five membrane-anchored isoforms, and the DDR2 subfamily is represented by a single protein. The five DDR1 isoforms all share common extracellular and transmembrane domains, but differ in the cytoplasmic region (see Valiathan, R. R. (2012) Cancer Metastasis Rev. 31, 295-321; Alves, F. (2001) FASEB J. 15, 1321-1323).
[0006] The DDR receptor family has been found to be involved in a range of fibrotic diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis, and especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Dr. Vogel's research group first presented evidence that DDR1 deletion has a protective role in pulmonary fibrosis in 2006 (see Avivi-Green C, Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2006;174:420-427). The authors demonstrate that DDR1 knockout mice are largely protected from bleomycin (BLM)-induced injury. Furthermore, myofibroblast expansion and apoptosis were much lower in these animals compared to their wild-type counterparts. Absence of inflammation in knockout mice was confirmed by lavage cell count and interleukin ELISA. These results indicate that DDR1 expression is a prerequisite for the development of lung inflammation and fibrosis.
[0007] DDR2 deficiency or downregulation reduces bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis (see Zhao H, Bian H, Bu X, Zhang S, Zhang P, Yu J, et al Mol Ther 2016; 24:1734-1744). demonstrated that DDR2 plays a key role in inducing fibrosis and angiogenesis in the lung, specifically DDR2 cooperates with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β to induce myofibroblastic differentiation. Furthermore, it was shown that treatment of injured mice with specific siRNA against DDR2 exhibited therapeutic efficacy on pulmonary fibrosis. In a second publication, Jia et al. showed that mice lacking DDR2 were protected from bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis (see Jia S, Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 2018;59:295-305) . In addition, DDR2-knockout fibroblasts were significantly more prone to apoptosis than wild-type fibroblasts, supporting the paradigm that resistance of fibroblasts to apoptosis is critical for fibrosis progression.
[0008] Several compounds have been described in the literature as DDR1 or DD2 antagonists.
[0009] WO2016064970 (Guangzhou) discloses tetrahydroisoquinoline-7-formamide as a selective DDR1 inhibitor, suitable for preventing and treating inflammation, liver fibrosis, renal fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, skin scars, arteries Therapeutic agent for atherosclerosis and cancer.
[0010] It is worth noting that antagonism of DDR receptors may be useful in the treatment of fibrosis and diseases, disorders and conditions caused by fibrosis, and that even more antagonism of both receptors DDR1 and DDR2 may be useful in the treatment of such diseases, disorders and diseases are particularly effective.
[0011] Several efforts have been made over the past few years to develop novel DDR1 and DDR2 receptor antagonists useful in the treatment of certain diseases, and some of these compounds have also demonstrated efficacy in humans.
[0012] Regardless of the prior art cited above, it remains possible to develop selective inhibitors of both receptors DDR1 and DDR2, which are useful in the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with dysregulation of DDR receptors in the respiratory field, specifically In other words, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), administered by the inhalation route, and characterized by a good inhalation profile, which corresponds to good lung activity, good lung storage and low metabolic stability, so that systemic exposure and related safety issues are minimized.
[0013] In this direction, we have surprisingly discovered a new series of compounds of general formula (I), as reported below, which solve the problem of providing inhibitors of the receptors DDR1 and DDR2 for administration by inhalation, which etc. inhibitors have activity as selective inhibitors of DDR1 and DDR2 receptors relative to other human protein kinases. Such compounds exhibit high potency, good inhalation profile, low metabolic stability, low systemic exposure, improved safety and tolerability.

[0320] Example 84: Preparation of 6-(imidazo[1,2-a]pyr-3-ylmethyl)-N-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4,5,6 ,7-Tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine-3-carboxamide Step 1: 3-((3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)carbamoyl)-4,7-di Hydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridine-6(5H)-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (Intermediate 63) Intermediate 58 (4 g, 13.10 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (32.8 ml) and DCM (98 ml), followed by the addition of DIPEA (4.58 ml, 26.2 mmol) and HATU (9.96 g, 26.2 mmol). The RM was stirred at RT for 15 min, and 3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (1.964 ml, 15.72 mmol) was added. The RM was stirred at room temperature until LC-MS showed complete consumption of SM. Raising the reaction temperature to 40°C and further addition of HATU and 3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline were necessary to achieve complete conversion. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and water was added. The mixture was stirred for 15 min and the phases were separated, the organic phase was washed with water, 5% wt citric acid solution, twice with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by FC (DCM to 10% MeOH / DCM) to afford the title compound (4.36 g, 10.22 mmol, 78% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.38 (s, 1H), 8.19 (d, J = 2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.16 (s, 1H), 8.00 - 7.92 (m, 1H), 7.58 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.47 - 7.38 (m, 1H), 4.59 (s, 2H), 3.58 (t, J = 5.8 Hz, 2H), 2.85 (t, J = 5.8 Hz, 2H), 1.43 ( s, 9H).

Et2O was added to the RM until no more precipitation was observed, then the solid was filtered off and the residual solvent was evaporated in vacuo to afford the title compound (2.3353 g, 6.44 mmol, 97% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.51 (s, 1H), 8.27 (s, 1H), 8.16 (d, J = 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.95 - 7.86 (m, 1H), 7.58 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.48 - 7.40 (m, 1H), 4.36 (s, 2H), 3.36 (td, J = 6.5, 5.1 Hz, 2H), 3.09 (t, J = 6.1 Hz, 2H).

The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and STAB (0.117 g, 0.551 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and washed with a 1:1 mixture of K2CO3 (sat) and water. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with DCM, the organic phases were combined, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified via FCC using DCM / MeOH (DCM to 5% MeOH / DCM) to afford the title compound (32 mg, 0.070 mmol, 25.4% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.34 (s, 1H), 9.07 (d, J = 1.5 Hz, 1H), 8.56 (dd, J = 4.7, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 8.17 (s, 1H) , 8.10 (s, 1H), 7.96 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.92 (d, J = 4.6 Hz, 1H), 7.82 (s, 1H), 7.57 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H) , 7.42 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 1H), 4.12 (s, 2H), 3.68 (s, 2H), 2.85 (d, J = 5.5 Hz, 2H), 2.78 (d, J = 5.2 Hz, 2H) .
