Description

[0001] Novel Compounds Field of the Invention The present invention relates to active esters of Factor B inhibitors, and to associated salts, solvates, prodrugs and pharmaceutical compositions. The present invention further relates to methods of synthesising such compounds, and to the use of such compounds in the treatment and prevention of medical disorders and diseases, most especially by Factor B inhibition. Background of the Invention The complement system is a critical part of the innate immune system and serves to help the body fight against infection from pathogens, ultimately leading to inflammation and phagocytic removal of pathogens or foreign particles. The complement system is comprised of multiple proteins, including zymogens which undergo proteolytic cleavage to become activated and facilitate the activation of further zymogens in the cascade. The proteins may be zymogens or proteins without potential for enzymatic activity that change conformation revealing binding sites for other components of the system. These successive enzymatic cleavages lead to a large, amplified response and many regulatory components exist in this system to prevent uncontrolled activation. The complement system can be activated via three pathways: classical, lectin, and alternative. The classical pathway is triggered by antigen:antibody complexes and connects the innate to the adaptive immune system. The lectin pathway is triggered directly by the pathogen when serum protein mannan-binding lectin, collectins or ficolins bind to bacterial or viral mannose-containing carbohydrates. The alternative pathway (also known as the alternate pathway) is initiated by activation of the central complement component, C3, either through spontaneous hydrolysis or enzymatic cleavage. The alternative pathway also serves as a critical amplification loop of all three pathways of complement activation. Ultimately, all of these pathways lead to the generation of C3 convertase which cleaves and activates further C3 molecules to promote: 1) opsonization of pathogens so they can be engulfed by phagocytes that recognise key receptors, 2) the recruitment of inflammatory cells by generating chemoattractants at the site of activation, and 3) formation of the C5 convertase resulting in production of C5a and C5b, the latter of which induces direct killing of pathogens by assembling terminal complement components to create membrane attack complex (MAC) pores in the membrane of bacteria or other target cells (Janeway, C. A. Jr. et al, (2001) The complement system and innate immunity, in Immunobiology: The Immune System in Health and Disease, Garland Science, New York). Factor B, a trypsin-like serine protease, is an element of the alternative pathway of the complement cascade. It exists in circulation in its zymogen form until the pathway becomes activated (Schubart, A. et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.2019, 116, 7926- 7931). Spontaneous steady-state hydrolysis of C3 leads to the formation of C3(H2O). Factor B can bind to the active forms of C3: C3(H2O) and C3b, generating the proenzyme C3bB (or C3(H2O)B), a target for activation by Factor D. Upon cleavage by Factor D, two fragments are generated: Ba and Bb (Schwaeble, W. J., Ali, Y. M., and Sim, R. B., (2020) Chapter 14 - The Roles and Contributions of the Complement System in the Pathophysiology of Autoimmune Diseases, in The Autoimmune Diseases (Sixth Edition) (Rose, N. R., and Mackay, I. R. eds.), Academic Press). Ba is released and Bb, containing a serine protease domain, remains bound to C3(H2O) and C3b, forming the alternative pathway C3 convertases [C3(H2O)Bb and C3bBb]. These trigger the amplification loop by converting C3 to C3a and more C3b. With the addition of yet another C3b to the C3 convertase, the C5 convertase is generated (C3bBbC3b) (Laskowski, J., Thurman, J. M. (2018) Chapter 14 - Factor B, in The Complement FactsBook (Second Edition) (Barnum, S., and Schein, T. eds.), Academic Press). C5 convertase cleaves C5 to generate the anaphylatoxin C5a, and C5b which serves as a platform for the formation of the membrane attack complex. Dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway due to genetics or the presence of autoantibodies can lead to many different diseases. Inhibition of Factor B is therefore a key therapeutic target for modulation of the alternative pathway and hence the treatment of numerous diseases, disorders and conditions. Iptacopan (LNP023), disclosed in Mainolfi et al., J. Med. Chem., 2020, vol.63, pp. 5697-5722, is a known Factor B inhibitor having the following structure:

[0002] Iptacopan is highly selective for Factor B, showing no inhibition of Factor D or the classical or lectin complement pathways. Also, no significant effects have been observed in a broad assay panel of receptors, ion channels, kinases, and proteases (Schubart, A. et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.2019, 116, 7926-7931). The drug has recently undergone successful phase III clinical studies in patients suffering from paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) (Novartis Press Release, “Novartis Phase III APPOINT-PNH trial shows investigational oral monotherapy iptacopan improves hemoglobin to near-normal levels, leading to transfusion independence in all treatment-naïve PNH patients”, 26 April 2023). Further indole derivatives stated to have Factor B inhibitory activity are disclosed in WO 2013 / 164802 A1, US 2013 / 0296377 A1, WO 2014 / 143638 A1, WO 2015 / 009616 A1, WO 2022 / 028507 A1, WO 2022 / 028527 A1, WO 2022 / 143940 A1, WO 2022 / 143845 A1, WO 2022 / 155294 A1, WO 2022 / 218429 A1, WO 2022 / 256586 A2, WO 2023 / 278698 A1, WO 2023 / 020566 A1, WO 2023 / 072197 A1, WO 2023 / 139534 A1, WO 2023 / 187715 A1 and WO 2024 / 049977 A1. However, there is a need to provide further Factor B inhibitors, especially selective Factor B inhibitors (e.g. versus inhibition of Factor D, classical complement, and / or lectin complement activation). In particular, there is a need to provide compounds with improved pharmacological and / or physiological and / or physicochemical properties and / or those that provide a useful alternative to known compounds.

In the context of the present specification, a “hydrocarbyl” substituent group or a hydrocarbyl moiety in a substituent group only includes carbon and hydrogen atoms but, unless stated otherwise, does not include any heteroatoms, such as N, O or S, in its carbon skeleton. A hydrocarbyl group / moiety may be saturated or unsaturated (including aromatic), and may be straight-chained or branched, or be or include cyclic groups wherein, unless stated otherwise, the cyclic group does not include any heteroatoms, such as N, O or S, in its carbon skeleton. Examples of hydrocarbyl groups include alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl and aryl groups / moieties and combinations of all of these groups / moieties. Typically a hydrocarbyl group is a C1-C20 hydrocarbyl group. More typically a hydrocarbyl group is a C1-C15 hydrocarbyl group. More typically a hydrocarbyl group is a C1-C10hydrocarbyl group. A “hydrocarbylene” group is similarly defined as a divalent hydrocarbyl group. An “alkyl” substituent group or an alkyl moiety in a substituent group may be linear (i.e. straight-chained) or branched. Examples of alkyl groups / moieties include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, t-butyl and n-pentyl groups / moieties. Unless stated otherwise, the term “alkyl” does not include “cycloalkyl”. Typically an alkyl group is a C1-C12 alkyl group. More typically an alkyl group is a C1-C6 alkyl group. An “alkylene” group is similarly defined as a divalent alkyl group. An “alkenyl” substituent group or an alkenyl moiety in a substituent group refers to an unsaturated alkyl group or moiety having one or more carbon-carbon double bonds.

A “cyclic” substituent group or a cyclic moiety in a substituent group refers to any hydrocarbyl ring, wherein the hydrocarbyl ring may be saturated or unsaturated (including aromatic) and may include one or more heteroatoms, e.g. N, O or S, in its carbon skeleton. Examples of cyclic groups include cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocyclic, aryl and heteroaryl groups as discussed below. A cyclic group may be monocyclic, bicyclic (e.g. bridged, fused or spiro), or polycyclic. Typically, a cyclic group is a 3- to 12-membered cyclic group, which means it contains from 3 to 12 ring atoms. More typically, a cyclic group is a 3- to 7-membered monocyclic group, which means it contains from 3 to 7 ring atoms. For the avoidance of doubt, where it is stated that a bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety is “saturated” it is to be understood that all of the ring systems within the bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are saturated. A “heterocyclic” substituent group or a heterocyclic moiety in a substituent group refers to a cyclic group or moiety including one or more carbon atoms and one or more (such as one, two, three or four) heteroatoms, e.g. N, O or S, in the ring structure.

Unless stated otherwise, a cycloalkenyl substituent group or moiety may include monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbyl rings. An “aryl” substituent group or an aryl moiety in a substituent group refers to an aromatic hydrocarbyl ring. The term “aryl” refers to monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic fused ring aromatic hydrocarbons wherein all of the fused ring systems (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are aromatic. Examples of aryl groups / moieties include phenyl, naphthyl, anthracenyl and phenanthrenyl. Unless stated otherwise, the term “aryl” does not include “heteroaryl”. A “heteroaryl” substituent group or a heteroaryl moiety in a substituent group refers to an aromatic heterocyclic group or moiety. The term “heteroaryl” refers to monocyclic aromatic heterocycles and polycyclic fused ring aromatic heterocycles wherein all of the fused ring systems (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are aromatic.

Unless stated otherwise, where a bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety is stated to be aromatic, such as an aryl or a heteroaryl group, it is to be understood that all of the ring systems within the bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are aromatic. Similarly, where a bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety is stated to be non-aromatic, such as a cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl or non-aromatic heterocyclic group, it is to be understood that all of the ring systems within the bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are non-aromatic. For the purposes of the present specification, where a combination of moieties is referred to as one group, for example, arylalkyl, arylalkenyl, arylalkynyl, alkylaryl, alkenylaryl or alkynylaryl, the last mentioned moiety contains the atom by which the group is attached to the rest of the molecule. An example of an arylalkyl group is benzyl. As will be appreciated, in an optionally substituted moiety: - each hydrogen atom may optionally be replaced by any specified monovalent substituent; - any two hydrogen atoms attached to the same carbon or nitrogen atom may optionally be replaced by any specified π-bonded substituent; - any sulphur atom may optionally be substituted with one or two of any specified π-bonded substituents; and - any two hydrogen atoms attached to the same or different atoms, within the same optionally substituted group or moiety, may optionally be replaced by any specified divalent bridging substituent. Typically a substituted group comprises 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents, more typically 1, 2 or 3 substituents, more typically 1 or 2 substituents, and more typically 1 substituent. Unless stated otherwise, any divalent bridging substituent (e.g. -O-, -S-, -NH-, -CH2-, -CH2-CH2-, etc.) of an optionally substituted group or moiety (e.g. R1) must only be attached to the specified group or moiety and may not be attached to a second group or moiety (e.g. R2), even if the second group or moiety can itself be optionally substituted. The term “halo” includes fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. Unless stated otherwise, where a group is prefixed by the term “halo”, such as a haloalkyl or halomethyl group, it is to be understood that the group in question is substituted with one or more halo groups independently selected from fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. Typically, the maximum number of halo substituents is limited only by the number of hydrogen atoms available for substitution on the corresponding group without the halo prefix. For example, a halomethyl group may contain one, two or three halo substituents. A haloethyl or halophenyl group may contain one, two, three, four or five halo substituents. Similarly, unless stated otherwise, where a group is prefixed by a specific halo group, it is to be understood that the group in question is substituted with one or more of the specific halo groups. For example, the term “fluoromethyl” refers to a methyl group substituted with one, two or three fluoro groups. Similarly, unless stated otherwise, where a group is said to be “halo-substituted”, it is to be understood that the group in question is substituted with one or more halo groups independently selected from fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. Typically, the maximum number of halo substituents is limited only by the number of hydrogen atoms available for substitution on the group said to be halo-substituted. For example, a halo- substituted methyl group may contain one, two or three halo substituents. A halo- substituted ethyl or halo-substituted phenyl group may contain one, two, three, four or five halo substituents. Unless stated otherwise, any reference to an element is to be considered a reference to all isotopes of that element. Thus, for example, unless stated otherwise any reference to hydrogen is considered to encompass all isotopes of hydrogen including deuterium and tritium. Unless stated otherwise, any reference to a compound or group is to be considered a reference to all tautomers of that compound or group. Where reference is made to a hydrocarbyl or other group including one or more heteroatoms N, O or S in its carbon skeleton, or where reference is made to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbyl or other group being replaced by an N, O or S atom, what is intended is that: is replaced by ; . .is replaced by –CH2– is replaced by –NH–, –O– or –S–; –CH3is replaced by –NH2, –OH or –SH; –CH= is replaced by –N=; CH2= is replaced by NH=, O= or S=; or CH≡ is replaced by N≡; provided that the resultant group comprises at least one carbon atom. For example, methoxy, dimethylamino and aminoethyl groups are considered to be hydrocarbyl groups including one or more heteroatoms N, O or S in their carbon skeleton. Typically, the compounds of the invention contain no more than one quaternary ammonium group. More typically, the compounds of the invention contain no quaternary ammonium groups. In the context of the present specification, unless otherwise stated, a Cx-Cygroup is defined as a group containing from x to y carbon atoms. For example, a C1-C4alkyl group is defined as an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. For the purposes of allocating x and y in a Cx-Cy group, optional substituents are not taken into account when calculating the total number of carbon atoms in the parent group substituted with the optional substituents. For the avoidance of doubt, replacement heteroatoms, e.g. N, O or S, are not to be counted as carbon atoms when calculating the number of carbon atoms in a Cx-Cy group. For example, a morpholinyl group is to be considered a C4 heterocyclic group, not a C6 heterocyclic group. For the purposes of the present specification, where it is stated that a first atom or group is “directly attached” to a second atom or group it is to be understood that the first atom or group is covalently bonded to the second atom or group with no intervening atom(s) or group(s) being present. So, for example, for the group -(C=O)N(CH3)2, the carbon atom of each methyl group is directly attached to the nitrogen atom and the carbon atom of the carbonyl group is directly attached to the nitrogen atom, but the carbon atom of the carbonyl group is not directly attached to the carbon atom of either methyl group.
