Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a class of thiazolyllactamide and spiroheterocyclic compounds and their use in preparing drugs for treating related diseases, particularly compounds represented by formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Prior Art

[0002] CN202110722003.6, application date: June 28, 2021; CN202111673614.2, application date: December 31, 2021; CN202210693548.3, application date: June 17, 2022.

[0003] The Ras / Raf / MEK / ERK pathway is a classic mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade pathway that is involved in signal transduction after activation of various growth factors, cytokines, mitogens, and hormone receptors. It is one of the most important signal transduction pathways for controlling cell growth, differentiation, and survival.

[0004] Research has shown that abnormal activation of the Ras / Raf / MEK / ERK pathway, caused by mutation or amplification, is a key determinant of the development of various cancers. In human tumors, RAS mutations occur in approximately 22%, BRAF mutations in approximately 7%, and MEK mutations in approximately 1%. Therefore, key node proteins in this pathway have become important targets for cancer treatment (Cancer Discov. 2019, 9, 329-341). Currently, several BRAF and MEK1 / 2 inhibitors, as well as their combination regimens, have been approved by the US FDA for the treatment of cancers such as melanoma and BRAFV600E-mutant non-small cell lung cancer. However, the use of BRAF and MEK inhibitors targeting these upstream nodes can rapidly lead to drug resistance due to mutations or pathway reactivation, significantly limiting their clinical application.

[0005] Extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERKs), particularly ERK1 and ERK2, are key players and downstream nodes in the Ras / Raf / MEK / ERK pathway, and their overactivation is found in many human cancers. As the terminal signaling kinase in this pathway, ERK has yet to harbor drug-resistant mutations. Therefore, drugs targeting ERK kinases have the potential to overcome drug resistance that can arise after treatment with upstream inhibitors, making them a promising therapeutic strategy. However, research on ERK inhibitors remains in the clinical stage, and no ERK inhibitors have been approved for marketing.

[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need to develop safe and effective ERK inhibitors to meet the needs of tumor treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Definition and Description

[0041] Unless otherwise indicated, the following terms and phrases used herein are intended to have the following meanings. A specific term or phrase should not be construed as ambiguous or unclear unless specifically defined, but rather should be understood in accordance with its ordinary meaning. When a trade name appears in this document, it is intended to refer to the corresponding commercial product or its active ingredient.

[0042] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" as used herein refers to those compounds, materials, compositions and / or dosage forms which, within the scope of sound medical judgment, are suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response or other problems or complications, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0043] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to salts of the compounds of the present invention, prepared by reacting the compounds of the present invention with relatively nontoxic acids or bases. When the compounds of the present invention contain relatively acidic functional groups, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the compounds with a sufficient amount of base in neat solution or a suitable inert solvent. When the compounds of the present invention contain relatively basic functional groups, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the compounds with a sufficient amount of acid in neat solution or a suitable inert solvent. Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functional groups and can be converted into either base or acid addition salts.

[0044] The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from parent compounds containing acid or basic groups by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts are prepared by reacting the free acid or base form of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate base or acid in water or an organic solvent or a mixture of the two.

[0045] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "isomer" is intended to include geometric isomers, cis-trans isomers, stereoisomers, enantiomers, optical isomers, diastereomers and tautomers.

[0046] The compounds of the present invention may exist in specific geometric or stereoisomeric forms. The present invention contemplates all such compounds, including cis- and trans-isomers, (-)- and (+)-enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, and racemic mixtures and other mixtures thereof, such as enantiomerically or diastereomerically enriched mixtures, all of which are within the scope of the present invention. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in substituents such as alkyl groups. All such isomers and their mixtures are within the scope of the present invention.

[0047] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "enantiomer" or "optical isomer" refers to stereoisomers that are mirror images of one another.

[0048] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "cis-trans isomers" or "geometric isomers" refers to the inability of a compound to rotate freely about double bonds or single bonds of ring carbon atoms.

[0049] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "diastereomer" refers to stereoisomers that have two or more chiral centers and are not mirror images of each other.

[0050] Unless otherwise specified, "(+)" indicates dextrorotatory, "(-)" indicates levorotatory, and "(±)" indicates racemic.

[0051] Unless otherwise specified, the key is a solid wedge ( ) and dotted wedge bonds ( ) represents the absolute configuration of a stereocenter, with a straight solid bond ( ) and straight dashed bond ( ) indicates the relative configuration of the stereocenter, and a wavy line ( ) represents a wedge-shaped solid bond ( ) or a dotted wedge key ( ), or use a wavy line ( ) represents a straight solid bond ( ) or a straight dashed key ( ).

[0052] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" refers to functional group isomers that are in dynamic equilibrium at room temperature and readily interconvert into each other. If tautomerism is possible (e.g., in solution), chemical equilibrium of the tautomers can be achieved. For example, proton tautomers (also called prototropic tautomers) include interconversions via proton migration, such as keto-enol isomerization and imine-enamine isomerization. Valence tautomers include interconversions via reorganization of some of the bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerism is the interconversion between pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one.

[0053] Unless otherwise indicated, the terms "enriched in one isomer", "isomerically enriched", "enriched in one enantiomer" or "enantiomerically enriched" mean that the content of one isomer or enantiomer is less than 100%, and the content of that isomer or enantiomer is greater than or equal to 60%, or greater than or equal to 70%, or greater than or equal to 80%, or greater than or equal to 90%, or greater than or equal to 95%, or greater than or equal to 96%, or greater than or equal to 97%, or greater than or equal to 98%, or greater than or equal to 99%, or greater than or equal to 99.5%, or greater than or equal to 99.6%, or greater than or equal to 99.7%, or greater than or equal to 99.8%, or greater than or equal to 99.9%.

[0054] Unless otherwise indicated, the term "isomer excess" or "enantiomeric excess" refers to the difference between the relative percentages of two isomers or two enantiomers. For example, if the content of one isomer or enantiomer is 90% and the content of the other isomer or enantiomer is 10%, the isomer or enantiomeric excess (ee value) is 80%.

[0055] Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers, as well as D and L isomers, can be prepared by chiral synthesis or chiral reagents or other conventional techniques. If a single enantiomer of a compound of the present invention is desired, it can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or derivatization with a chiral auxiliary, wherein the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group is cleaved to provide the pure desired enantiomer. Alternatively, when the molecule contains a basic functional group (e.g., amino) or an acidic functional group (e.g., carboxyl), diastereomeric salts are formed with an appropriate optically active acid or base, followed by diastereomeric resolution by conventional methods known in the art, and the pure enantiomers are recovered. Furthermore, separation of enantiomers and diastereomers is typically accomplished by using chromatography using a chiral stationary phase, optionally combined with chemical derivatization (e.g., formation of carbamates from amines).

[0056] The compounds of the present invention may contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes on one or more atoms comprising the compound. For example, the compounds may be labeled with radioactive isotopes, such as tritium ( 3H), iodine-125 ( 125I), or carbon-14 ( 14C). Another example is that deuterated drugs may be formed by replacing hydrogen with heavy hydrogen. The bond formed by deuterium and carbon is stronger than the bond formed by ordinary hydrogen and carbon. Compared to non-deuterated drugs, deuterated drugs have advantages such as reduced toxic side effects, increased drug stability, enhanced therapeutic efficacy, and prolonged drug biological half-life. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are included within the scope of the present invention.

[0057] The terms "optional" or "optionally" mean that the subsequently described event or circumstance may but need not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not.

[0058] The term "substituted" means that any one or more hydrogen atoms on a particular atom are replaced by a substituent. Substituents may include deuterium and hydrogen variants, as long as the valence state of the particular atom is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is oxygen (i.e., =O), it means that two hydrogen atoms are replaced. Oxygen substitution does not occur on aromatic groups. The term "optionally substituted" means that the group may or may not be substituted. Unless otherwise specified, the type and number of substituents may be any chemically feasible.

[0059] When any variable (e.g., R) occurs more than once in a compound's composition or structure, its definition at each occurrence is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted with 0-2 Rs, the group may be optionally substituted with up to two Rs, with each occurrence of R being an independent choice. Furthermore, combinations of substituents and / or their variants are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

[0060] When the number of a linking group is 0, such as -(CRR) 0-, it means that the linking group is a single bond.

[0061] When the number of a substituent is 0, it means that the substituent does not exist. For example, -A-(R) 0 means that the structure is actually -A.

[0062] When a substituent is vacant, it means that the substituent is not present. For example, when X in AX is vacant, it means that the structure is actually A.

[0063] When one of the variables is a single bond, it means that the two groups it connects are directly connected. For example, when L in ALZ represents a single bond, it means that the structure is actually AZ.

[0064] When a substituent's bond can cross-link to two or more atoms in a ring, the substituent can be bonded to any atom in the ring, e.g. or Indicates that the substituent R can be substituted at any position on the cyclohexyl group or cyclohexadiene. When the listed substituent does not specify the atom through which it is bonded to the substituted group, the substituent can be bonded through any atom. For example, a pyridyl substituent can be bonded to the substituted group through any carbon atom on the pyridine ring.

[0065] When the linking group is listed without specifying its linking direction, its linking direction is arbitrary, for example, The connecting group L is -MW-, in which case -MW- can connect ring A and ring B in the same direction as the reading order from left to right to form , you can also connect ring A and ring B in the opposite direction of the reading order from left to right to form Combinations of linkers, substituents, and / or variations thereof are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

Purpose: The anti-tumor effect of WX001 was evaluated using a nude mouse model with subcutaneous xenografts of human melanoma A375 cells. 2. Experimental Animals: Species: Mouse Strain: BALB / c nude mice Age: 6-8 weeks Gender: Female Weight: 18-22 grams Supplier: Weitong Lihua Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. 3. Rearing environment: The animals were housed in an SPF animal room in IVC (independent ventilation system, constant temperature and humidity) cages (3 per cage), with a temperature of 20-26°C and a humidity of 40-70%. Cages: Made of polycarbonate, 375 mm x 215 mm x 180 mm, littered with corn cobs, changed weekly. Food: Experimental animals were allowed to eat freely during the entire experimental period (irradiation sterilized, dry pelleted food); Drinking water: Experimental animals can drink sterile water freely; Cage identification: The animal information card for each cage should indicate the number of animals in the cage, sex, strain, receipt date, dosing regimen experiment number, group and experiment start date; Animal identification: Experimental animals were identified with ear tags. 4. Experimental Content: 1) Experimental Cell Culture: Human melanoma A375 cells were cultured as monolayers in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum in a 37°C, 5% CO₂ incubator. Twice weekly, cells were routinely digested and passaged using trypsin-EDTA. When cell saturation reached 80%-90% and the desired number of cells was reached, cells were harvested, counted, and plated. 2) Tumor Tissue Inoculation and Grouping: 0.1 mL (5 × 10 5 cells) of A375 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the right axilla of each mouse. When the average tumor volume reached 170 mm 3 , the animals were randomly divided into four groups and drug administration began. The experimental groups and dosing schedule are shown in Table 22: Table 22 Experimental animal groups and dosing regimen Group Number of animals drug Dosage (mg / kg) Dosing cycle Route and frequency of administration 1 6 Solvent control (Vehicle) -- 21 days Oral administration (PO), twice daily (BID) 2 6 WX001 12.5 21 days Oral administration (PO), twice daily (BID) 3 6 WX001 25 21 days Oral administration (PO), twice daily (BID) 4 6 WX001 50 21 days Oral administration (PO), twice daily (BID) 3) Daily Observation of Laboratory Animals: This experimental protocol and any modifications were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). The use and welfare of experimental animals were carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC). The health and mortality of the animals were monitored daily. Routine examinations included observation of tumor growth and the effects of drug treatment on the animals' daily behaviors, such as activity, food and water intake (visual assessment only), weight changes (measured twice weekly), and any other abnormalities. Within-group mortality and adverse reactions were recorded based on the number of animals in each group. 4) Preparation of test substance a) Vehicle group: 5% DMSO+95% (20% HP-β-CD). b) Test compound group: Weigh a fixed amount of the test compound into a dispensing bottle, add the corresponding volume of DMSO and vortex to obtain a clear solution, then add the corresponding volume of 20% HP-β-CD and vortex to obtain a homogeneous suspension. 5) Tumor Measurement and Experimental Indicators: a) Measure tumor diameter twice weekly with a vernier caliper. Tumor volume is calculated using the formula: TV = 1 / 2 × a × b², where a and b represent the major and minor diameters of the tumor, respectively. b) The tumor inhibition efficacy of the compound was evaluated using the TGI (%). TGI (%) reflects the rate of tumor growth inhibition. TGI (%) is calculated as follows: TGI (%) = {[1 - (mean tumor volume of a treatment group at the end of dosing - mean tumor volume of that treatment group at the start of dosing)] / (mean tumor volume of the solvent control group at the end of treatment - mean tumor volume of the solvent control group at the start of treatment)} × 100%. 5.

[0130] Experimental Example 9: hERG Test 1. Purpose of the study: The effects of compounds on hERG potassium channel (human Ether-a-go-go Related Gene potassium channel) currents were tested using an automated patch clamp method. 2. Experimental Methods: 2.1 Cell Preparation CHO-hERG cells were cultured in a 175 cm² flask. When the cell density reached 60-80%, the culture medium was removed and the cells were washed once with 7 mL of PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline). The cells were then digested with 3 mL of Detachin. After complete digestion, 7 mL of culture medium was added for neutralization. The cells were then centrifuged, the supernatant aspirated, and the cells were resuspended in 5 mL of culture medium to maintain a cell density of 2-5 × 10⁶ / mL. 2.2 Solution preparation Extracellular solution formula (mM): 140 NaCl, 5 KCl, 1 CaCl2, 1.25 MgCl2, 10 HEPES and 10 Glucose, adjusted to pH 7.4 with NaOH. Intracellular solution formula (mM): 140 KCl, 1 MgCl2, 1 CaCl2, 10 EGTA and 10 HEPES, adjusted to pH 7.2 with KOH. 2.3 Electrophysiological Recording Process The Qpatch instrument automatically performs the single-cell high-impedance sealing and whole-cell recording process. After acquiring whole-cell recording mode, the cell was clamped at -80 mV. A 50-millisecond pre-voltage of -50 mV was applied before a 5-second depolarizing stimulus of +40 mV was applied. The cell then repolarized to -50 mV for 5 seconds before returning to -80 mV. This voltage stimulus was applied every 15 seconds. After recording for 2 minutes, extracellular solution was added for 5 minutes. Drug administration then began, starting with the lowest tested concentration and administering each test concentration for 2.5 minutes. After all concentrations were administered, the positive control compound, 3 μM Cisapride, was administered. At least three cells were tested for each concentration (n ≥ 3). 2.4 Compound preparation A 20.00 mM stock solution of the compound was diluted with DMSO. 10 μL of the stock solution was added to 20 μL of DMSO solution, and serial dilutions were performed three-fold to six DMSO concentrations. 4 μL of each of the six DMSO concentrations was added to 396 μL of extracellular fluid and diluted 100-fold to six intermediate concentrations. 80 μL of each of the six intermediate concentrations was then added to 320 μL of extracellular fluid and diluted five-fold to the desired final concentration. The highest concentration tested was 40 μM, followed by six concentrations of 40, 13.3, 4.4, 1.48, 0.494, and 0.165 μM. The DMSO content in the final test concentration did not exceed 0.2%, as this concentration has no effect on hERG potassium channels. Compound preparation was performed using the Bravo instrument throughout the entire dilution process. 2.5 Data Analysis The experimental data were analyzed by GraphPad Prism 5.0 software. 2.6 Quality Control Environment: Humidity 20~50%, temperature 22~25℃ Reagents: All experimental reagents were purchased from Sigma, with a purity of >98%. The experimental data in the report must meet the following standards: Whole-cell seal impedance > 100 MΩ Tail current amplitude > 300 pA Pharmacological parameters: The inhibitory effects of various concentrations of Cisapride on hERG channels were set as positive controls. 3. The experimental results are shown in Table 27: Table 27 hERG test results of compounds Compound IC50 (μM) WX001 > 40 Conclusion: The compounds of the present invention have weak inhibitory effect on hERG potassium channel current, lower cardiotoxicity risk and higher safety.

Prepare the loading matrix by mixing the compound working solution (5 μL) with the blank matrix (995 μL) at a ratio of 1:200. 3) Analysis steps: a) Prepare time 0 (T0) samples for residue determination by transferring an equal amount of 30 μL of loading matrix (n=2) to a sample collection plate. Immediately match the samples with the corresponding blank buffer to a final volume of 60 μL, with a 1:1 plasma to buffer ratio in each well. Next, add 60 μL of 4% H₃PO₄ in H₂O and 480 μL of stop solution containing an internal standard to the T0 sample of the test compound. Store these samples with the other samples at 2-8°C until further processing. b) Preincubate the remaining plasma sample in a CO2 incubator at 37 ± 1°C for 30 min. Prepare the protein-free sample (F sample). Transfer both the protein-free sample and the matrix-loaded sample (230 μL) to a polycarbonate tube (n = 2) and ultracentrifuge at 37°C and 155,000 × g (35,000 rpm) for 4 h. c) To prepare the T sample (test sample), an additional aliquot of the matrix-containing sample was transferred to a separate 96-well plate (sample incubation plate) and incubated at 37°C for 4 h. d) After centrifugation, transfer 30 μL of the protein-free sample and 30 μL of the T sample from the second layer of the supernatant (below the upper layer) to a new sample collection plate. Mix each sample with the corresponding blank buffer or matrix to a final volume of 60 μL, with a 1:1 matrix:buffer ratio. Add 60 μL of a 4% aqueous H₃PO₄ solution and 480 μL of stop solution (containing an internal standard) to all samples. Centrifuge the mixture at 4000 rpm for 20 min. Remove 100 μL of the supernatant from each sample for LC-MS / MS analysis. 3.
