INHIBITORY COMPOUNDS FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to certain compounds that function as inhibitors of METTL1 activity. The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of these compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and to their use in the treatment of proliferative disorders, such as cancer, as well as other diseases or conditions in which METTL1 activity is implicated. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The Methyltransferase 1 (METTL1) protein forms an RNA methyltransferase complex with WD repeat domain containing protein 4 (WDR4). The main substrates of the complex are transfer RNAs (tRNA), where METTL1 / WDR4 modify Guanosine to N7-Methylguanosine at position 46 (m7G46) in the variable loop, a site that is known to contribute to tertiary structure formation and stability in tRNAs (Kim et al., 1974; Robertus et al., 1974). METTL1 and WDR4 were first identified in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (named Trm8 and Trm82, respectively). They are highly conserved in eukaryotes and form a stable complex. Both proteins are required for the m7G46 modification of tRNAs, but the catalytic activity resides in METTL1, which harbors a SAM-binding and methyltransferase (MTase) domain (Alexandrov, Martzen and Phizicky, 2002).
[0003] Transfer RNAs are essential core components of the translation machinery of a cell. They provide the building blocks for protein synthesis within the ribosome as carriers of amino acids. tRNAs belong to so-called isoacceptor families, in which all members carry a specific amino acid. The specificity for the amino acid is determined through the recognition of a tRNA molecule by a cognate aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS), an enzyme which attaches an amino acid to the 3’ end of the tRNA molecule, a process called “charging” of tRNAs (Gomez and Ibba, 2020). Charged tRNAs are then engaging with the ribosome and actively translated messenger RNA (mRNA) to deliver the next amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain. The specificity of the amino acid incorporation into the newly synthesized protein is determined by the recognition of a so-called codon in the mRNA by the anticodon loop of the tRNA. A codon is a three-nucleotide sequence (triplet), which is complementary to a three-nucleotide anticodon sequence in a specific tRNA, which carries the corresponding amino acid. Hence, the abundance of specific anticodon-containing tRNAs (isodecoder families) can contribute to the efficiency and speed of translation of specific codon-containing mRNAs (Novoa and Ribas de Pouplana, 2012). Rapidly dividing cells such as cancer cells require elevated levels ofprotein synthesis. Often, an increase in mRNA translation rates can be attributed to the codon composition of these genes, whereby proliferation-promoting mRNAs harbor highly distinctive codon signatures compared to differentiation-promoting transcripts. In highly proliferative cells and tissues, the expression levels of specific tRNAs are often found to match the elevated expression of proliferation-associated genes, enabling optimal elongation rates and supporting cell growth (Gillen, Waldron and Bushell, 2021).
[0004] Post-transcriptional modifications of transfer RNAs have been known to exist for a long time. Hypomodification of tRNAs caused by mutations in tRNA modifying enzymes or in tRNAs themselves has been linked to human disease and developmental disorders (Suzuki, 2021). Mutations in WDR4 have been reported to cause various forms of microcephaly often combined with anomalies of the central nervous system and growth retardations (Shaheen et al., 2015; Braun et al., 2018). Patients with mutation in WDR4 had reduced levels of m7G46 on a subset of tRNAs, indicating that this modification is essential for full functionality of tRNAs, and that those tRNAs are required to support normal cell growth and development (Shaheen et al., 2015).
[0005] More recent studies have started to shed light onto the molecular mechanism of individual modifications in specific tRNA molecules. The m7G46 modification is required for stability of tRNAs. Downregulation of METTL1 / WDR4 protein levels by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or by CRISPR / Cas9-mediated genomic cleavage leads to the reduction of a subset of tRNAs, which have been shown to be substrates for METTL1 in human or mouse cell lines (Lin et al., 2018; Orellana et al., 2021). The reduced level of tRNAs subsequently leads to a decrease in translation rates of mRNAs, which are enriched in codons recognized by m7G- modified tRNAs. Conversely, increased METTL1 expression in tumor tissue or cancer cells leads to increased tRNA abundance and concomitantly higher expression of proteins, which are enriched in amino acids decoded by m7G-modified tRNAs (Dai et al., 2021; Orellana et al., 2021). Those highly expressed proteins are often associated with proliferation-related processes such as cell cycle regulation, translation, or DNA repair. Therefore, maintenance of tRNA expression levels to support optimal mRNA translation is crucial for cancer cell proliferation. Additionally, a second mechanism related to tRNA stability has been postulated whereby the m7G46 modification protects tRNA molecules from endonuclease-mediated cleavage and reduces the formation of tRNA fragments. CRISPR / Cas9-mediated downregulation of METTL1 increases the abundance of tRNA fragments, which in turn can repress translation initiation via inhibiting the mRNA cap-binding ability of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4F (García-Vílchez et al., 2023). In summary, stabilizing tRNA modifications such as m7G46 may significantly contribute to tumor growth by supporting optimal tRNA levels and preventing the inhibition of translation initiation or elongation.
[0006] METTL1 and WDR4 are often found over-expressed in tumor tissue when compared to normal tissue (Campeanu et al., 2021; Gao et al., 2022; He et al., 2022). Increased METTL1 / WDR4 expression in most cancer types but more specifically in bladder cancer, breast invasive carcinoma, colorectal cancer, glioblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatic cholangiocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, head and neck as well as esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, prostate cancer and hematopoietic cancers including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) seem to correlate with reduced overall survival rates and worse outcomes in those patients (Tian et al., 2019; Campeanu et al., 2021; Dai et al., 2021; Orellana et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2021; Ying et al., 2021; J. Chen et al., 2022; Han et al., 2022; Y. Huang et al., 2022; Z. Wang et al., 2023; García-Vílchez et al., 2023; Jiang et al., 2024). In addition, high expression levels of METTL1 / WDR4 also correlated with increased recurrence of cancerous and non-cancerous tumors such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and ameloblastoma (Chen et al., 2024; Wang et al., 2024). Analysis of gene expression data from cancer samples such as liver hepatocellular carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma with elevated METTL1 expression indicates a positive correlation between METTL1 expression and genes involved in cell cycle control, replication and translation (Campeanu et al., 2021; Gao et al., 2022). This further corroborates the importance of a concerted gene expression program to maintain the high proliferation rates in cancer cells. Interestingly, gene set enrichment analysis in hepatocellular and prostate cancer revealed a potential inverse correlation of METTL1 expression with the Phosphatase and Tensin homolog (PTEN) pathway (Tian et al., 2019; García-Vílchez et al., 2023). PTEN is commonly found to be mutated in cancers and its status in tumor samples could serve as a selection marker for tumors with high METTL1 expression and dependency.
[0007] Additionally, the METTL1 gene is located in a region on Chromosome 12 (12q13-14), which is frequently amplified in cancer. More than 15% of Sarcoma tissue samples and approximately 13% of Glioblastoma samples analyzed in The Cancer Genome Atlas project (TCGA, PanCancer Atlas) harbor amplifications in the METTL1 locus, which are also commonly seen in other cancer types such as adrenocortical carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and non-small cell lung cancer (see figure 1). The METTL1 gene amplification status could therefore also serve as a stratification marker for tumors, which could be more dependent on its function.
[0008] The phenotypic consequences of METTL1 / WDR4 knock-down or knock-out are a reduction of cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion capacity in several solid and leukemic cancer cell lines as well as a reduction of tumor formation in vivo.
[0009] Reduced protein expression of METTL1 and WDR4 significantly inhibited cell proliferation in hematologic cell lines of various blood cancer types including acute myeloidleukemia (AML), acute monoblastic / monocytic leukemia, acute promyelocytic leukemia, acute erythroid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), chronic lymphoblastic leukaemia (CLL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (Barbieri et al., 2017; Orellana et al., 2021; Zhao et al., 2024). At the molecular level, METTL1 / WDR4 plays a role in progression of AML by promoting protein biogenesis and cell cycle. Importantly, targeting METTL1 in primary murine AML cells induced strong inhibition of cell growth and colony formation capacity but had no effect in non-leukemic hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) (Orellana et al., 2021) indicating that inhibition of METTL1 could selectively target cancer cells while not affecting non-transformed cell types.
[0010] Downregulation of METTL1 expression levels in cell lines of solid cancer types such as bladder cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma resulted in reduced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein expression levels and concomitant changes in downstream signaling cascades such as Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), AKT Serine / Threonine Kinase 1 (AKT) and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathways leading to the reduced activation of effector kinases including extracellular signal‑regulated kinase (ERK). The compromised EGFR signaling pathways affected cell cycle progression, reduced cell proliferation and increased cell death in cancer cells (Chen et al., 2021; Dai et al., 2021; Ying et al., 2021; M. Huang et al., 2022). Those findings were further corroborated in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), where the knock-down of METTL1 reduced activation of AKT and Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Kinase (MTOR), both critical signaling proteins involved in the regulation of protein biogenesis, metabolism and cell cycle (J. Chen et al., 2022). In addition to affecting MTOR-mediated signaling in HNSCC, reducing METTL1 levels also increased autophagy pathways in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma via MTOR target proteins, a process which can induce tumor suppression and cell death (Wang et al., 2021; Han et al., 2022). Additionally, METTL1 function seems to be required for WNT / β-catenin signaling in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, where the m7G modification in tRNAs is promoting the translation of key proteins in the pathway such as WNT family members WNT2 and WNT3A. In the absence of METTL1 and m7G modifications on tRNAs, the transcriptional coactivator of WNT-mediated signaling β- catenin is reduced, which in turn seems to negatively affect the process of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), a critical step in tumor progression and metastasis (B. Chen et al., 2022). Two further studies also establish a link between the reduction of METTL1 / WDR4 activity and a reduced ability of cancer cells to undergo EMT, which is characterized by a switch between two members of the cadherin cell surface protein family. Upon knock-down of METTL1 or WDR4, N-cadherin protein expression is reduced while the tumor suppressor protein E-cadherin gets stabilized highlighting the potential that METTL1 / WDR4 inhibition orloss could reduce metastasis (Xia et al., 2021; Xie et al., 2022). In neuroblastoma, a common malignant childhood tumor characterized by N-MYC amplification, down-regulating METTL1 affected the translation of N-MYC target genes, corroborating the importance of METTL1 activity in driving oncogenic pathways (Y. Huang et al., 2022). In addition, METTL1 / WDR4 activity is required for cancer cell proliferation and tumor progression in glioblastoma, liposarcoma and melanoma, where the main mechanistic consequences of METTL1 knock- down is a reduction in tRNA levels (specifically of tRNA-Arg-TCT-4-1) and global translation, which leads to a block in cell cycle progression (Orellana et al., 2021).
[0011] In mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), METTL1 and WDR4 contribute to the expression of stem cell markers such as Nanog and Klf4, thereby maintaining the self-renewal and proliferation capacity of the mESCs and enabling accurate differentiation (Lin et al., 2018). Those findings have also been recapitulated in human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (hiPSCs), where a knock-down of METTL1 reduced the translation efficiency of stem cell marker genes resulting in cell cycle changes, reduced pluripotency, and aberrant differentiation to mesoderm (Deng et al., 2020). The attributes and gene expression profiles of ES cells have also been found in cells of poorly differentiated tumors and specific cancer types (Ben-Porath et al., 2008; Wong et al., 2008), which could potentially point towards a role of METTL1 / WDR4 or tRNA modifications and stability specifically in cancer stem cells.
[0012] In addition to its suggested role in primary tumor development, METTL1 and WDR4 seem to be also involved in conferring resistance to targeted cancer therapy, chemotherapy or radiation therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), osteosarcoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Xia et al., 2021; B. Chen et al., 2022; Liao et al., 2022; M. Huang et al., 2022; Z. Wang et al., 2023; Chen et al., 2024). METTL1 protein levels were found to be upregulated after application of Ionizing Radiation (IR) in hepatocellular carcinoma. Over-expression of METTL1 forced the increased resistance to IR in cell lines and in mouse HCC models while the knock-down of METTL1 resulted in increased IR sensitivity. On the molecular level, METTL1 seems to promote non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), a key pathway in the repair of double-strand DNA breaks induced by IR, by maintaining translation levels of the central NHEJ repair proteins DNA-PKcs and DNA ligase IV (Liao et al., 2022). Further to the IR resistance, increased expression of METTL1 or WDR4 also confers resistance to commonly used targeted therapy drugs in hepatocellular carcinoma, such as Lenvatinib and Sorafenib. Conversely, reduced expression of METTL1 or WDR4 in combination with these drugs resulted in a synergistic effect on cancer growth both in vitro and in vivo (Xia et al., 2021; M. Huang et al., 2022). A similar effect was observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, where increased METTL1 protein levels were associated with resistance to the multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor Anlotinib.Mechanistically, METTL1 promoted expression of proteins required for oxidative phosphorylation and energy metabolism, whose activity seemed to contribute to the resistance to Anlotinib (Chen et al., 2024). Further, in osteosarcoma and nasopharyngeal cancer models knock-down of METTL1 enhanced the sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents Cisplatin, Docetaxel or Doxorubicin (B. Chen et al., 2022; Z. Wang et al., 2023) highlighting a putative future application of METTL1 inhibitors in combination with IR, targeted therapies or chemotherapy or as second line treatment in primary therapy-resistant tumors.
[0013] A further application for novel METTL1 inhibitors could be a combination with Immunotherapy. Recent studies have analyzed the composition of the microenvironment, especially immune cell infiltration, in tumors which developed in the absence or presence of functional METTL1 / WDR4. In a mouse model of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), METTL1 knock-out reduced the infiltration of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) by polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs), a cell type that has been associated with generating an immunosuppressive TIME state in ICC. Additionally, an increased presence of CD4+ T cells was observed after METTL1 deletion. The ICC tumor growth reduction in conditional METTL1 knock-out mice could be enhanced by further treating animals with the Interleukin 8 Receptor beta (CXCR2) antagonist SB225002, which blocks a receptor in PMN-MDSCs and in combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD1 (Liu et al., 2022). In human prostate tumor tissue, METTL1 expression has been positively correlated with an increased infiltration of M2 type macrophages, which are associated with tissue growth and repair, and which support an immunosuppressive TIME state. Further studies using a prostate carcinoma mouse model showed that METTL1 knock-out induced an increased presence of M1 type macrophages, which are pro-inflammatory, and a mild increase in CD8+ cytotoxic T cells within these tumors, which was further accompanied by an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines. Treatment of those METTL1-depleted mice with the immune checkpoint inhibitors anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 reduced the growth of prostate carcinomas compared to wild-type animals, indicating that a combination of METTL1 inhibition with immune checkpoint therapy could have an improved response rate in cancer therapy.
[0014] In addition to tRNAs, METTL1 / WDR4 have been implicated to methylate other RNA species, including mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNA) (Malbec et al., 2019; Pandolfini et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2024). An m7G modification in the precursor of miRNA let- 7e-5p potentially reduces the formation of a local G-quadruplex structure thereby promoting its processing to the mature miRNA (Pandolfini et al., 2019). Internal (non-cap) m7G modification sites have been mapped in mRNAs by several orthogonal approaches. The m7G modification within coding exons seems to enhance the translation of those mRNAs independent of their codon composition (Malbec et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2019) while m7Gsites in the 3′ untranslated regions (3′UTR) may render the modified transcripts less stable through IGF2BP protein-mediated degradation (Liu et al., 2024). Under cellular stress conditions, internal m7G modification in mRNAs seems to induce the accumulation of modified mRNAs in so-called stress granules via Quaking (QKI) RNA-binding proteins. The mRNA shuttling into stress granules may lead to decreased translation rates while protecting the mRNAs from degradation as part of a cellular adaption program to stress (Zhao et al., 2023). The expanded substrate repertoire of METTL1 / WDR4 could provide an additional layer of translational gene regulation in cancer. Inhibiting METTL1 could therefore potentially affect cancer growth via several different mechanisms.
[0015] Besides cancer, reducing METTL1 function could have a therapeutic effect in other proliferative disorders, which are characterized by a global increase in protein expression. Upon myocardial infarction or during cardiac hypertrophy-inducing processes, METTL1 protein and mRNA levels seem to be increased. This is accompanied by an enhanced proliferation capacity of cardiac myofibroblasts and an elevated protein expression and secretion phenotype, which leads to increased deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components and tissue fibrosis (L. Wang et al., 2023; Yu et al., 2024). A cardiac fibroblast- specific METTL1 knock-out led to reduced expression of ECM proteins, mildly reduced the symptoms of cardiac fibrosis and increased the heart function in a myocardial infarction mouse model, potentially indicating that reducing protein translation rates through inhibition of METTL1 could alleviate fibrosis and dampen scar tissue formation (L. Wang et al., 2023).
[0016] Therefore, METTL1 inhibitors may provide a novel therapeutic approach to a range of proliferative diseases.
[0017] Thus, METTL1 inhibitors may also provide a novel therapeutic approach to enhance an anti-tumour response.

[0051] Unless otherwise stated, the following terms used in the specification and claims have the following meanings set out below.
[0052] It is to be appreciated that references to “treating” or “treatment” include prophylaxis as well as the alleviation of established symptoms of a condition. “Treating” or “treatment” of a state, disorder or condition therefore includes: (1) preventing or delaying the appearance of clinical symptoms of the state, disorder or condition developing in a human that may be afflicted with or predisposed to the state, disorder or condition but does not yet experience ordisplay clinical or subclinical symptoms of the state, disorder or condition, (2) inhibiting the state, disorder or condition, i.e., arresting, reducing or delaying the development of the disease or a relapse thereof (in case of maintenance treatment) or at least one clinical or subclinical symptom thereof, or (3) relieving or attenuating the disease, i.e., causing regression of the state, disorder or condition or at least one of its clinical or subclinical symptoms.
[0053] A “therapeutically effective amount” means the amount of a compound that, when administered to a mammal for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease. The "therapeutically effective amount" will vary depending on the compound, the disease and its severity and the age, weight, etc., of the mammal to be treated.
[0054] In this specification the term “alkyl” includes both straight and branched chain alkyl groups. References to individual alkyl groups such as “propyl” are specific for the straight chain version only and references to individual branched chain alkyl groups such as “isopropyl” are specific for the branched chain version only. For example, “C1-6alkyl” includes C1-4alkyl, C1-3alkyl, propyl, isopropyl and t-butyl. A similar convention applies to other radicals, for example “phenyl(C1-6alkyl)” includes phenyl( C1-4alkyl), benzyl, 1-phenylethyl and 2-phenylethyl.
[0055] The term "(m-nC)" or “Cm-n”, or "(m-nC) group" or “Cm-n” used alone or as a prefix, refers to any group having m to n carbon atoms.
[0056] The term "alkenyl", as used herein, refers to an aliphatic group containing at least one double bond and is intended to include both "unsubstituted alkenyls" and "substituted alkenyls", the latter of which refers to alkenyl moieties having substituents replacing a hydrogen on one or more carbons of the alkenyl group. Such substituents may occur on one or more carbons that are included or not included in one or more double bonds. Moreover, such substituents include all those contemplated for alkyl groups, as discussed below, except where stability is prohibitive. For example, substitution of alkenyl groups by one or more alkyl, carbocyclyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, or heteroaryl groups is contemplated.
[0057] The term "alkynyl", as used herein, refers to an aliphatic group containing at least one triple bond and is intended to include both "unsubstituted alkynyls" and "substituted alkynyls", the latter of which refers to alkynyl moieties having substituents replacing a hydrogen on one or more carbons of the alkynyl group. Such substituents may occur on one or more carbons that are included or not included in one or more triple bonds. Moreover, such substituents include all those contemplated for alkyl groups, as discussed above, except where stability is prohibitive. For example, substitution of alkynyl groups by one or more alkyl, carbocyclyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, or heteroaryl groups is contemplated.
[0058] An “alkylene” group is an alkyl group that is positioned between and serves to connect two other chemical groups. Thus, “C1-3alkylene” means a linear saturated divalent hydrocarbon radical of one to three carbon atoms or a branched saturated divalent hydrocarbon radical of three atoms, for example, methylene, ethylene, propylene, and the like.
[0059] The term “Cm-ncycloalkyl” means a hydrocarbon ring containing from m to n carbon atoms, for example “C3-6cycloalkyl” means a hydrocarbon ring containing from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, for example, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl. The term “Cm-ncycloalkyl” also encompasses non-aromatic saturated or partially saturated monocyclic, fused, bridged, or spiro bicyclic carbocyclic ring system(s). The term “Cm-ncycloalkyl” includes both monovalent species and divalent species. Monocyclic “Cm-ncycloalkyl” rings contain from about 3 to 12 (suitably from 3 to 8, most suitably from 5 to 6) ring carbon atoms. Bicyclic “Cm-ncycloalkyl” contain from 7 to 17 ring carbon atoms, suitably 7 to 12 ring carbon atoms. Bicyclic “Cm-ncycloalkyl” rings may be fused, spiro (e.g. spiro[3,3]heptane), or bridged ring systems (e.g. bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene and bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanyl).
[0060] The term “halo” or “halogeno” refers to fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo.
[0061] The term “heterocyclyl”, “heterocyclic” or “heterocycle” means a non-aromatic saturated or partially saturated monocyclic, fused, bridged, or spiro bicyclic heterocyclic ring system(s). The term heterocyclyl includes both monovalent species and divalent species. Monocyclic heterocyclic rings contain from about 3 to 12 (suitably from 3 to 7, most suitably from 5 to 6) ring atoms, with from 1 to 5 (suitably 1, 2 or 3) heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur in the ring. Bicyclic heterocycles contain from 7 to 17 member atoms, suitably 7 to 12 member atoms, in the ring. Bicyclic heterocycles contain from about 7 to about 17 ring atoms, suitably from 7 to 12 ring atoms. Bicyclic heterocyclic(s) rings may be fused, spiro, or bridged ring systems. Examples of heterocyclic groups include cyclic ethers such as oxiranyl, oxetanyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, dioxanyl, and substituted cyclic ethers. Heterocycles containing nitrogen include, for example, azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, tetrahydrotriazinyl, tetrahydropyrazolyl, and the like. Typical sulfur containing heterocycles include tetrahydrothienyl, dihydro-1,3-dithiol, tetrahydro-2H-thiopyran, and hexahydrothiepine. Other heterocycles include dihydro-oxathiolyl, tetrahydro-oxazolyl, tetrahydro-oxadiazolyl, tetrahydrodioxazolyl, tetrahydro-oxathiazolyl, hexahydrotriazinyl, tetrahydro-oxazinyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, tetrahydropyrimidinyl, dioxolinyl, octahydrobenzofuranyl, octahydrobenzimidazolyl, and octahydrobenzothiazolyl. For heterocycles containing sulfur, the oxidized sulfur heterocycles containing SO or SO2groups are also included. Examples include the sulfoxide and sulfone forms of tetrahydrothienyl and thiomorpholinyl such as tetrahydrothiene 1,1-dioxide and thiomorpholinyl 1,1-dioxide. A suitable value for a heterocyclyl group which bears 1 or 2 oxo (=O) or thioxo (=S) substituentsis, for example, 2-oxopyrrolidinyl, 2-thioxopyrrolidinyl, 2-oxoimidazolidinyl, 2-thioxoimidazolidinyl, 2-oxopiperidinyl, 2,5-dioxopyrrolidinyl, 2,5-dioxoimidazolidinyl or 2,6-dioxopiperidinyl. Particular heterocyclyl groups are saturated monocyclic 3 to 7 membered heterocyclyls containing 1, 2 or 3 heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, for example azetidinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, pyrrolidinyl, morpholinyl, tetrahydrothienyl, tetrahydrothienyl 1,1-dioxide, thiomorpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl 1,1-dioxide, piperidinyl, homopiperidinyl, piperazinyl or homopiperazinyl. As the skilled person would appreciate, any heterocycle may be linked to another group via any suitable atom, such as via a carbon or nitrogen atom. However, reference herein to piperidino or morpholino refers to a piperidin-1-yl or morpholin-4-yl ring that is linked via the ring nitrogen.
[0062] By “bridged ring systems” is meant ring systems in which two rings share more than two atoms, see for example Advanced Organic Chemistry, by Jerry March, 4thEdition, Wiley Interscience, pages 131-133, 1992. Examples of bridged heterocyclyl ring systems include, aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, 2-oxa-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, aza- bicyclo[3.2.1]octane, quinuclidine, 6-azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptane, 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, bicyclo[3.2.1]octane, 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene and 3-oxa-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane .
[0063] The term “heteroaryl” or “heteroaromatic” means an aromatic mono-, bi-, or polycyclic ring incorporating one or more (for example 1-4, particularly 1, 2 or 3) heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur. The term heteroaryl includes both monovalent species and divalent species. Examples of heteroaryl groups are monocyclic and bicyclic groups containing from five to twelve ring members, and more usually from five to ten ring members. The heteroaryl group can be, for example, a 5- or 6-membered monocyclic ring or a 9- or 10- membered bicyclic ring, for example a bicyclic structure formed from fused five and six membered rings or two fused six membered rings. Each ring may contain up to about four heteroatoms typically selected from nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen. Typically the heteroaryl ring will contain up to 3 heteroatoms, more usually up to 2, for example a single heteroatom. In one embodiment, the heteroaryl ring contains at least one ring nitrogen atom. The nitrogen atoms in the heteroaryl rings can be basic, as in the case of an imidazole or pyridine, or essentially non-basic as in the case of an indole or pyrrole nitrogen. In general the number of basic nitrogen atoms present in the heteroaryl group, including any amino group substituents of the ring, will be less than five.
[0064] Examples of heteroaryl include furyl, pyrrolyl, thienyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, pyridyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, 1,3,5-triazenyl, benzofuranyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, benzothienyl, benzoxazolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzothiazolyl, indazolyl, purinyl, benzofurazanyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, quinazolinyl, quinoxalinyl, cinnolinyl, pteridinyl,naphthyridinyl, carbazolyl, phenazinyl, benzisoquinolinyl, pyridopyrazinyl, thieno[2,3-b]furanyl, 2H-furo[3,2-b]-pyranyl, 5H-pyrido[2,3-d]-o-oxazinyl, 1H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]-oxazolyl, 4H-imidazo[4,5-d]thiazolyl, pyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazinyl, imidazo[2,1-b]thiazolyl, imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazinyl. “Heteroaryl” also covers partially aromatic bi- or polycyclic ring systems wherein at least one ring is an aromatic ring and one or more of the other ring(s) is a non-aromatic, saturated or partially saturated ring, provided at least one ring contains one or more heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur. Examples of partially aromatic heteroaryl groups include for example, tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, tetrahydroquinolinyl, 2-oxo- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolinyl, dihydrobenzthienyl, dihydrobenzfuranyl, 2,3-dihydro- benzo[1,4]dioxinyl, benzo[1,3]dioxolyl, 2,2-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2-benzothienyl, 4,5,6,7- tetrahydrobenzofuranyl, indolinyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,8-naphthyridinyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-b]pyrazinyl and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrido[3,2-b][1,4]oxazinyl.

[0181] In another aspect, the present invention provides novel intermediates as defined herein, in particular: (S)-6,8-dichloro-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (referred to herein as (INT-A)); (S)-8-chloro-1-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (referred to herein as INT-B)); or 8-chloro-1-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline (referred to herein as (X-B)); or a salt or solvate thereof.
[0182] The various functional groups and substituents making up the compounds of the Formula (I) are typically chosen such that the molecular weight of the compound of the Formula (I) does not exceed 1000. More usually, the molecular weight of the compound will be less than 900, for example less than 800, or less than 750, or less than 700, or less than 650. More preferably, the molecular weight is less than 600 and, for example, is 550 or less.
[0183] A suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of the invention is, for example, an acid-addition salt of a compound of the invention which is sufficiently basic, for example, an acid-addition salt with, for example, an inorganic or organic acid, for example hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, trifluoroacetic, formic, citric methane sulfonate or maleic acid. In addition, a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of the invention which is sufficiently acidic is an alkali metal salt, for example a sodium or potassium salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, for example a calcium or magnesium salt, an ammonium salt or a salt with an organic base which affords a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, for example a salt with methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, piperidine, morpholine or tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine.
[0184] Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers”. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”. Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it 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-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as amixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.
[0185] The compounds of this invention may possess one or more asymmetric centers; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R)- or (S)-stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof. Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and mixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the 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, 2001), for example by synthesis from optically active starting materials or by resolution of a racemic form. Some of the compounds of the invention may have geometric isomeric centres (E- and Z- isomers). It is to be understood that the present invention encompasses all optical, diastereoisomers and geometric isomers and mixtures thereof that possess activity against METTL1.
[0186] The present invention also encompasses compounds of the invention as defined herein which comprise one or more isotopic substitutions. For example, H may be in any isotopic form, including1H,2H(D), and3H (T); C may be in any isotopic form, including12C,13C, and14C; and O may be in any isotopic form, including16O and18O; and the like.
[0187] It is also to be understood that certain compounds of the Formula (I) (and compounds of subformulas thereof) may exist in solvated as well as unsolvated forms such as, for example, hydrated forms. It is to be understood that the invention encompasses all such solvated forms that possess activity against METTL1.
[0188] It is also to be understood that certain compounds of the Formula (I) (and compounds of subformulas thereof) may exhibit polymorphism, and that the invention encompasses all such forms that possess activity against METTL1.
[0189] Compounds of the Formula (I) (and compounds of subformulas thereof) may exist in a number of different tautomeric forms and references to compounds of the Formula (I) include all such forms. For the avoidance of doubt, where a compound can exist in one of several tautomeric forms, and only one is specifically described or shown, all others are nevertheless embraced by Formula (I). Examples of tautomeric forms include keto-, enol-, and enolate- forms, as in, for example, the following tautomeric pairs: keto / enol (illustrated below), imine / enamine, amide / imino alcohol, amidine / amidine, nitroso / oxime, thioketone / enethiol, and nitro / aci-nitro.keto enol enolate
[0190] Compounds of the Formula (I) containing an amine function may also form N-oxides. A reference herein to a compound of the Formula (I) that contains an amine function also includes the N-oxide. Where a compound contains several amine functions, one or more than one nitrogen atom may be oxidised to form an N-oxide. Particular examples of N-oxides are the N-oxides of a tertiary amine or a nitrogen atom of a nitrogen-containing heterocycle. N- Oxides can be formed by treatment of the corresponding amine with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or a per-acid (e.g. a peroxycarboxylic acid), see for example Advanced Organic Chemistry, by Jerry March, 4thEdition, Wiley Interscience, pages. More particularly, N-oxides can be made by the procedure of L. W. Deady (Syn. Comm.1977, 7, 509-514) in which the amine compound is reacted with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA), for example, in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane.
[0191] In a particular embodiment, the nitrogen which links Ring A to Ring B may be in the form of an N-oxide, e.g..
[0192] In a particular embodiment, one or more of the nitrogen atoms which make up Ring B may be in the form of an N-oxide. In a further embodiment, any nitrogen in the “D3” position in Ring B is optionally in the form of an N-oxide, e.g.:.
[0193] The compounds of Formula (I) may be administered in the form of a pro-drug which is broken down in the human or animal body to release a compound of the invention. A pro-drug may be used to alter the physical properties and / or the pharmacokinetic properties of a compound of the invention. A pro-drug can be formed when the compound of the invention contains a suitable group or substituent to which a property-modifying group can be attached. Examples of pro-drugs include in vivo cleavable ester derivatives that may be formed at a carboxy group or a hydroxy group in a compound of the Formula (I) and in-vivo cleavable amide derivatives that may be formed at a carboxy group or an amino group in a compound of the Formula (I).
[0194] Accordingly, the present invention includes those compounds of the Formula (I) as defined hereinbefore when made available by organic synthesis and when made available within the human or animal body by way of cleavage of a pro-drug thereof. Accordingly, the present invention includes those compounds of the Formula (I) that are produced by organic synthetic means and also such compounds that are produced in the human or animal body by way of metabolism of a precursor compound, that is a compound of the Formula (I) may be a synthetically-produced compound or a metabolically-produced compound.
[0195] A suitable pharmaceutically acceptable pro-drug of a compound of the Formula (I) is one that is based on reasonable medical judgement as being suitable for administration to the human or animal body without undesirable pharmacological activities and without undue toxicity.
[0196] Various forms of pro-drug have been described, for example in the following documents :- a) Methods in Enzymology, Vol.42, p.309-396, edited by K. Widder, et al.

[0233] In the description of the synthetic methods described herein and in any referenced synthetic methods that are used to prepare the starting materials, it is to be understood that all proposed reaction conditions, including choice of solvent, reaction atmosphere, reaction temperature, duration of the experiment and workup procedures, can be selected by a person skilled in the art.
[0234] It is understood by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the functionality present on various portions of the molecule must be compatible with the reagents and reaction conditions utilised.
[0235] It will be appreciated that during the synthesis of the compounds of the invention in the processes defined herein, or during the synthesis of certain starting materials, it may be desirable to protect certain substituent groups to prevent their undesired reaction. The skilled chemist will appreciate when such protection is required, and how such protecting groups may be put in place, and later removed.
[0236] For examples of protecting groups see one of the many general texts on the subject, for example, ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’ by Theodora Green (publisher: John Wiley & Sons). Protecting groups may be removed by any convenient method described in the literature or known to the skilled chemist as appropriate for the removal of the protecting group in question, such methods being chosen so as to effect removal of the protecting group with the minimum disturbance of groups elsewhere in the molecule.
[0237] Thus, if reactants include, for example, groups such as amino, carboxy or hydroxy it may be desirable to protect the group in some of the reactions mentioned herein.
[0238] By way of example, a suitable protecting group for an amino or alkylamino group is, for example, an acyl group, for example an alkanoyl group such as acetyl, an alkoxycarbonyl group, for example a methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl or t-butoxycarbonyl group, an arylmethoxycarbonyl group, for example benzyloxycarbonyl, or an aroyl group, for example benzoyl. The deprotection conditions for the above protecting groups necessarily vary with the choice of protecting group. Thus, for example, an acyl group such as an alkanoyl or alkoxycarbonyl group or an aroyl group may be removed by, for example, hydrolysis with asuitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example lithium or sodium hydroxide. Alternatively an acyl group such as a tert-butoxycarbonyl group may be removed, for example, by treatment with a suitable acid as hydrochloric, sulfuric or phosphoric acid or trifluoroacetic acid and an arylmethoxycarbonyl group such as a benzyloxycarbonyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon, or by treatment with a Lewis acid for example boron tris(trifluoroacetate). A suitable alternative protecting group for a primary amino group is, for example, a phthaloyl group which may be removed by treatment with an alkylamine, for example dimethylaminopropylamine, or with hydrazine.
[0239] A suitable protecting group for a hydroxy group is, for example, an acyl group, for example an alkanoyl group such as acetyl, an aroyl group, for example benzoyl, or an arylmethyl group, for example benzyl. The deprotection conditions for the above protecting groups will necessarily vary with the choice of protecting group. Thus, for example, an acyl group such as an alkanoyl or an aroyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrolysis with a suitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example lithium, sodium hydroxide or ammonia. Alternatively an arylmethyl group such as a benzyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon.
[0240] A suitable protecting group for a carboxy group is, for example, an esterifying group, for example a methyl or an ethyl group which may be removed, for example, by hydrolysis with a base such as sodium hydroxide, or for example a t-butyl group which may be removed, for example, by treatment with an acid, for example an organic acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, or for example a benzyl group which may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon.
[0241] Resins may also be used as a protecting group.
[0242] The methodology employed to synthesise a compound of Formula (I) will vary depending on the nature of the variable groups. Suitable processes for their preparation are described further in the accompanying Examples.
[0243] Once a compound of Formula (I) has been synthesised by any one of the processes defined herein, the processes may then further comprise the additional steps of: (i) removing any protecting groups present; (ii) converting the compound Formula (I) into another compound of Formula (I); (iii) forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or solvate thereof; and / or (iv) forming a prodrug thereof.
[0244] The resultant compounds of Formula (I) can be isolated and purified using techniques well known in the art. Biological Activity
[0245] The METTL1 enzyme and cell assays described in accompanying Example section may be used to measure the pharmacological effects of the compounds of the present invention.
[0246] Although the pharmacological properties of the compounds of Formula (I) vary with structural change, as expected, the compounds of the invention were found to be active in these METTL1 assays.
[0247] In general, the compounds of the invention demonstrate an IC50of 100 µM or less in the METTL1 enzyme assay (METTL1 + WDR4 methyltransferase assay) described herein, with particularly preferred compounds of the invention demonstrating an IC50of 1 µM or less and the most preferred compounds of the invention demonstrating an IC50of 0.1 µM or less.
[0248] In the METTL1 cell assay (“METTL1 InCellPulse Assay”) described in the Example section, the compounds of Formula (I) may suitably possess an IC50of less than 45 µM, with particularly preferred compounds of the invention demonstrating an IC50of 1 µM or less and the most preferred compounds demonstrating an activity of 0.12 µM or less.
[0249] In the MSD m7G modification assay described in the Example section, the compounds of Formula (I) may suitably possess an IC50of less than 10 µM, with particularly preferred compounds of the invention demonstrating an IC50of 1 µM or less and the most preferred compounds demonstrating an activity of 0.2 µM or less.
[0250] In the CTG proliferation assay described in the Example section, the compounds of Formula (I) may suitably possess an IC50of less than 10 µM, with particularly preferred compounds of the invention demonstrating an IC50of 5 µM or less and the most preferred compounds demonstrating an activity of 2 µM or less. Pharmaceutical Compositions
[0251] According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound of the invention as defined hereinbefore, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
[0252] The compositions of the invention may be in a form suitable for oral use (for example as tablets, lozenges, hard or soft capsules, aqueous or oily suspensions, emulsions,dispersible powders or granules, syrups or elixirs), for topical use (for example as creams, ointments, gels, or aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions), for administration by inhalation (for example as a finely divided powder or a liquid aerosol), for administration by insufflation (for example as a finely divided powder) or for parenteral administration (for example as a sterile aqueous or oily solution for intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal or intramuscular dosing or as a suppository for rectal dosing).
[0253] The compositions of the invention may be obtained by conventional procedures using conventional pharmaceutical excipients, well known in the art. Thus, compositions intended for oral use may contain, for example, one or more colouring, sweetening, flavouring and / or preservative agents.
[0254] An effective amount of a compound of the present invention for use in therapy is an amount sufficient to treat or prevent a condition and / or disease (such as a proliferative condition) referred to herein, slow its progression and / or reduce the symptoms associated with the condition and / or disease. The condition or disease (e.g. a proliferative condition) may be selected from any of those described herein.
[0255] The amount of active ingredient that is combined with one or more excipients to produce a single dosage form will necessarily vary depending upon the individual treated and the particular route of administration. For example, a formulation intended for oral administration to humans will generally contain, for example, from 0.5 mg to 0.5 g of active agent (more suitably from 0.5 to 100 mg, for example from 1 to 30 mg) compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount of excipients which may vary from about 5 to about 98 percent by weight of the total composition.
[0256] The size of the dose for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes of a compound of the Formula (I) will naturally vary according to the nature and severity of the conditions, the age and sex of the animal or patient and the route of administration, according to well known principles of medicine.
[0257] In using a compound of the invention for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes it will generally be administered so that a daily dose in the range, for example, 0.1 mg / kg to 75 mg / kg body weight is received, given if required in divided doses. In general lower doses will be administered when a parenteral route is employed. Thus, for example, for intravenous or intraperitoneal administration, a dose in the range, for example, 0.1 mg / kg to 30 mg / kg body weight will generally be used. Similarly, for administration by inhalation, a dose in the range, for example, 0.05 mg / kg to 25 mg / kg body weight will be used. Oral administration may also be suitable, particularly in tablet form. Typically, unit dosage forms will contain about 0.5 mg to 0.5 g of a compound of this invention.Therapeutic Uses and Applications
