Description

HDAC inhibitors, compositions and uses thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and specifically relates to an HDAC inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a composition and use. Background Art

[0002] HDACs (Histone Deacetylase), also known as histone deacetylases, are a key enzyme in the histone modification process. HDACs remove acetyl groups from histone lysine residues, altering their charge and making chromosomes more compact, thereby inhibiting gene transcription. The 18 HDAC subtypes currently identified in humans can be divided into four classes based on their homology to yeast proteins. Among all HDACs, class I HDACs (HDACs 1-3 and 8) play a crucial role in activating potential tumorigenesis, disease-causing oncogenes, and therapeutic resistance. Recent studies have demonstrated that HDACs 1-3 are crucial for the expression of oncogenes regulated by super-enhancers in breast cancer and other cancers.

[0003] Currently, there are five HDAC inhibitors approved for marketing worldwide. Vorinostat, romidepsin, belinostat, and panobinostat are approved by the US FDA for the clinical treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma; Chidamide (trade name: Epsom) is approved by my country's National Medical Products Administration for the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma and breast cancer. However, existing HDAC inhibitors have limited clinical application due to toxicity that limits adequate exposure in solid tumors. Existing data and information indicate that HDAC3, as an essential gene, is the primary driver of myelotoxicity caused by HDAC inhibitors, and these inhibitors target multiple isoforms.

[0004] Among them, except for chidamide, which is a selective inhibitor of HDAC class I and HDAC10 subtype, the other four are pan-HDAC inhibitors. However, the current approved HDAC therapies are still unclear and are only specific for a few HDAC subtypes. Due to their broad inhibitory properties, they have shortcomings such as poor efficacy against solid tumors, limited efficacy, drug resistance, and toxicity, which increase the possibility of adverse reactions. Therefore, the market urgently needs HDAC inhibitors with higher selectivity to treat diseases or conditions.

[0005] CoREST (also known as RCOR1) belongs to the corepressor family of proteins. It plays an important role in gene regulation. CoREST can interact with transcription factors and histone modification enzyme complexes to regulate gene transcription. CoREST was originally discovered to form a complex with HDAC1 and HDAC2 (histone deacetylases 1 and 2). This complex can deacetylate histones, leading to the formation of a compact chromatin structure and gene silencing. This means that CoREST is involved in chromatin remodeling and gene transcriptional repression. Cancer cells often express high levels of REST, resulting in the repression of genes related to cell growth and proliferation. CoREST inhibitors can block the interaction between REST and CoREST, thereby activating these genes and causing cancer cell death. Therefore, CoREST is a potential target for selective cancer treatment.

[0006] The uniqueness of the CoREST complex is that it has the dual role of a deacetylase subunit (HDAC1 or 2) and a demethylase subunit (LSD1 / KDAM1A). One of the three other RCOR proteins (RCOR 1, 2 and 3, also known as CoREST1, 2 and 3) serves as a scaffold that directly binds to HDAC1 / 2 and LSD1. These three types of proteins are the core subunits of the CoREST complex. They can work synergistically through deacetylase and demethylase activities to achieve efficient histone deacetylation and demethylation in chromatin, thereby inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, impairing tumor growth, and further improving drug selectivity.

[0007] The sulfur functional group in sulfenyl imine compounds possesses remarkable pharmacological properties, including excellent metabolic stability and the ability to act as both a hydrogen bond donor and acceptor. The substituents on the two carbon atoms in these compounds are not necessarily identical, and the introduction of a nitrogen atom within the tetrahedron creates a chiral asymmetric structure, which broadens the structural diversity of sulfenyl imine compounds. Generally, sulfenyl imine compounds are relatively stable in structure and configuration, requiring no special treatment. Sulfenyl imine compounds with unsubstituted nitrogen atoms can undergo in situ phosphorylation. The nitrogen atom's inherent basicity can also coordinate with metal ions and form salts with inorganic acids. The hydrogen bond acceptor of sulfenyl imines is the heteroatom bound to the sulfur atom. The free sulfenyl imine can act as both a hydrogen acceptor and a hydrogen bond donor. NMR analysis shows that sulfone compounds are less electron-withdrawing than sulfenyl imines, and lower molecular weight sulfenyl imides are readily soluble in water and alcoholic solvents. The unique chemical properties of sulfenyl imine have aroused great research interest among researchers.

[0008] However, to date, there are few reports on HDAC inhibitors discovered based on the sulfonyliminobenzamide core, which have strong application prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0145] Table 1: Structure and characterization of some compounds

[0146] Experimental Example 1: Activity test of the compounds of the present invention on HDAC1 / 3 protease

[0147] Experimental purpose: The purpose of this test case is to test the effect of the compound on the HDAC1 / 3 enzyme function

[0148] Background and Principle: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a class of epigenetic proteins associated with a variety of diseases, including cancer. Inhibition of specific HDACs may treat or otherwise ameliorate such diseases in some patients. Currently, four families of HDACs have been found in humans, including 18 HDAC subtypes. Among them, HDAC1 was identified as a novel target gene through an in vivo CRISPR screening platform, and its inhibition reversed the a-PD1 resistance caused by STK11 deficiency. HDAC3 is an essential gene and the main driver of bone marrow toxicity caused by HDAC inhibitors targeting multiple subtypes.

[0149] Experimental Procedure: This test example uses the Fluorogenic HDAC1 Assay Kit and Fluorogenic HDAC3 Assay Kit (BPS bioscience) to detect HDAC1 and HDCA3 enzyme activities. Step 1: The following reaction mixtures were added in duplicate to a microtiter black plate as follows: 1) Prepare a master mix: N wells × (5 μl HDAC substrate (200 μM) + 5 μl BSA (1 mg / ml) + 30 μl HDAC Assay Buffer). Add 40 μl of the master mix to all wells. 2) At a maximum concentration of 20 μM, dilute the test compound 5-fold over a 9-well gradient, adding 5 μl of the inhibitor solution to each well. For the blank and positive controls, add 5 μl of the same solution without inhibitor. Maintain the final DMSO concentration at or below 1%. 3) Add 5 μl of HDAC Assay Buffer to the blank control wells. 4) Initiate the reaction by adding 5 μl of the diluted HDAC1 enzyme to the positive control and test inhibitor wells. Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes. Step 2: Add 50 μl of undiluted HDAC developer (2x) to each well. Incubate the plate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Step 3: Read the sample in a microplate reader with an excitation wavelength of 350-380 nm and an emission detection wavelength of 440-460 nm. Calculate the IC50 using GraphPad software, and screen the compound by comparing it to the positive drug TNG260. IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) refers to the half-inhibitory concentration of the measured antagonist. It indicates the half-dose of a drug or substance (inhibitor) in inhibiting a certain biological process (or certain substances contained in this process, such as enzymes, cell receptors, or microorganisms). The synthesis method of TNG260 is referred to WO2023102162. The structure of TNG260 is as follows:

[0150] The HDAC1 and HDAC3 IC50 results for each compound determined using the assay are shown in Table 2 below. The compound numbers correspond to the compound numbers shown in Table 1, with "A" indicating an IC50 less than 10 nM, "B" indicating an IC50 range of 10 nM to 50 nM, "C" indicating an IC50 range of 50 nM to 200 nM, "D" indicating an IC50 range of 200 nM to 2 μM, and "E" indicating an IC50 greater than 2 μM.

[0151] Table 2: IC values ​​of exemplary compounds of the present invention for HDAC1 / 3 protease activity 50 value

[0152] Conclusion: A smaller IC50 value for HDAC1 protease inhibition indicates stronger HDAC1 inhibition; a larger IC50 value for HDAC3 protease inhibition indicates weaker HDAC3 inhibition. Therefore, most of the novel sulfonyliminobenzamide compounds prepared in this invention exhibit surprisingly superior HDAC1 inhibitory activity and excellent HDAC1 / 3 selectivity compared to the positive control compound TNG260. This strong inhibitory activity and selectivity have important therapeutic implications for the treatment of conditions or diseases associated with HDAC1 inhibition.

[0153] Experimental Example 2: Testing of the Functional Effects of the Compounds of the Invention on the CoREST Complex

[0154] Purpose of the experiment: The purpose of this test case is to test the effect of the compound on the function of the CoREST complex.

[0155] Background: CoREST was identified as a sensitizer to anti-PD-1 in an in vivo screen for STK11-deficient cancers. Class I HDAC enzymes function through four major complexes: HDAC1 / 2 reside in the CoREST, NuRD, and Sin3 complexes, while HDAC3 resides in the NCoR complex.

[0156] Experimental process:

[0157] Cell culture: A549 cells were grown in Ham's F-12K + 10% FBS + 1% P / S medium. Cells in logarithmic growth phase were plated in culture dishes and allowed to reach approximately 90% confluence before subsequent experiments. Immunoprecipitation: CoREST, NuRD, Sin3, and NCoR complexes were isolated using an immunoprecipitation kit (Protein A + G magnetic beads). Cell samples were lysed, the culture medium was aspirated, and the cells were washed once with PBS, followed by aspiration of any remaining liquid. 100-200 μl of lysis buffer containing inhibitors was added per 500,000-1,000,000 cells, with adequate pipetting to ensure adequate contact between the lysate and the cells. After complete lysis, centrifuge at 10,000-14,000 × g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and remove the supernatant. Bind the antibody to Protein A+G magnetic beads and incubate with the supernatant overnight at 4°C. Using the acid elution method, add 100 μl of Acid Elution Buffer per 20 μl of the original volume of magnetic beads, mix thoroughly, and incubate on a side-by-side shaker or rotary mixer at room temperature for 5 minutes. After incubation, separate on a magnetic stand for 10 seconds. Transfer the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube and immediately add 10 μl of Neutralization Buffer and mix thoroughly. Deacetylase assay: Determine the enzyme activity of each complex based on fluorescence. Calculate the IC50 using GraphPad software and screen compounds by comparing them to the positive drug TNG260.

[0158] The results of the assay for CoREST complex function for each compound using the assay are shown in Table 3 below. The compound numbers correspond to the compound numbers shown in Table 1, with "A" indicating an IC50 of less than 50 nM, "B" indicating an IC50 range of 50 nM to 200 nM, "C" indicating an IC50 range of 200 nM to 500 nM, and "D" indicating an IC50 range of 500 nM to 2 μM.

[0159] Table 3 IC values ​​of exemplary compounds of the present invention for the functional effects on the CoREST complex 50 value

[0160] Conclusion: The novel compounds synthesized have good enzyme inhibitory activity against the CoREST complex. The inhibitory activity of most compounds is better than that of the positive drug TNG260, and they have potential potential for development as anti-tumor drugs.

[0161] Experimental Example 3: Pharmacokinetics of the compounds of the present invention in mice

[0162] Experimental purpose: To administer the compound of the present invention to mice by oral gavage (PO) to investigate its pharmacokinetic characteristics

[0163] Specific experimental process:

[0164] The compound of the present invention and the control compound TNG260 were administered by oral gavage (30 mg / kg), PO solvent: 50% PEG300 + 15% Tween 80 + 35% water, prepared on the day of administration. Blood was collected from the jugular vein 0 h before administration and 0.25 h, 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 24 h after administration (oral gavage), and about 0.02 mL of blood was collected for each sample. K2-EDTA anticoagulation was used and the samples were placed on ice after collection. Plasma sample processing: After blood collection, the blood samples were placed on ice and centrifuged within 1 hour to separate the plasma (centrifugation conditions: 6800 g, 6 minutes, 2-8 ° C). Plasma samples were stored in a -80 ° C freezer before analysis. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using Phoenix WinNonlin7.0 based on the blood drug concentration data at different time points. The experimental results are shown in Table 4 below:

[0165] Table 4: In vivo pharmacokinetic test results in mice

[0166] The pharmacokinetic data of the compound of the present invention in mice show that, compared with the control compound TNG260, the oral pharmacokinetic exposure of the compound in mice is better than that of the control compound TNG260.
