[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This disclosure claims priority and the benefits of Chinese patent application No. CN202410175801.5 filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on February 7, 2024, Chinese patent application No. CN202410635952.4 filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on May 21, 2024, and Chinese patent application No. CN202510121786.0 filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on January 24, 2025, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Technical Field
[0003] The present disclosure belongs to the field of medicine, and particularly relates to a pharmaceutical combination containing a PKMYT1 inhibitor compound, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and pharmaceutical uses thereof. Background Art
[0004] Cyclin E is a cyclin of the cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) family. It binds to CDK2 in the G1 phase to form an activated CDK2-Cyclin E complex, promoting the transition from the G1 phase to the S phase of the cell cycle, where DNA replication initiates. The Cyclin E1 (CCNE1) gene encodes the primary protein of Cyclin E and thus plays a crucial role in regulating the G1-S phase transition of the cell cycle. Studies have suggested that overexpression of CCNE1 protein can lead to increased expression of the encoded Cyclin E protein, thereby enhancing the activity of the CDK2-Cyclin E complex, triggering premature cell cycle transitions, increasing DNA replication stress, and genomic instability. Amplification of CCNE1 is prevalent in various tumor types, particularly in highly malignant gynecological and gastrointestinal cancers, such as ovarian cancer (HGSOC), uterine cancer, and gastroesophageal cancer, and is associated with resistance to cytotoxic and targeted therapies.
[0005] CCNE1 itself is not considered a druggable target. Current research focuses on multi-targeted CDK inhibitors that act on its downstream cyclin, CDK2. Therefore, the lack of treatment options for CCNE1-amplified tumors makes the development of new therapies for this type of tumor a critical unmet need. To identify therapeutic targets for CCNE1-amplified tumors, a collaboration between Mount Sinai Hospital, the University of Toronto, and Repare Therapeutics in the United States discovered that CCNE1 amplification and PKMYT1 inhibition constitute a synthetic lethal pair. This finding was published in Nature on April 20, 2022. They conducted a genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9-based synthetic lethality screen in a cell model of CCNE1 amplification. Their results revealed that PKMYT1 is essential in CCNE1-amplified cells but not in otherwise healthy cells with normal CCNE1 levels. Therefore, PKMYT1 is a synthetic lethal gene for CCNE1, and PKMYT1 inhibitors could be used to treat CCNE1-amplified tumors. Furthermore, PP2A is a phosphatase associated with replication fork stress. Inactivating mutations in PPP2R1A increase replication fork stress in cells, thereby increasing reliance on PKMYT1 for G2 / M phase regulation. The protein encoded by the FBXW7 gene is the target protein recognition component of the cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase. The FBXW7 protein targets CCNE1 through the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway. Therefore, inactivating FBXW7 mutations lead to elevated CCNE1 levels. PKMYT1 inhibitors may also be used to treat neoplastic diseases in which FBXW7 mutations are inactivating.
[0006] PKMYT1 kinase, also known as MYT1, whose full name is "Membrane-associated tyrosine and threonine-specific cdc2 inhibitory kinase", is a member of the WEE family of kinases. During cell cycle transitions, it phosphorylates the threonine 14 site of CDK1 kinase, rendering the CDK1-Cyclin B complex inactive, negatively regulating the cell cycle checkpoints from G2 to M, and has an important impact on tumor cell proliferation, migration, and xenograft tumor formation.
[0007] Based on the discovery of a synthetic lethal relationship between CCNE1 and PKMYT1, a research team at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto developed the selective PKMYT1 inhibitor RP-6306. When used in combination with gemcitabine in a CCNE1 amplification model, RP-6306 demonstrated single-agent activity and durable tumor regression. RP-6306 treatment resulted in selective, unplanned activation of CDK1 in CCNE1-overexpressing cells, promoting premature mitosis in cells undergoing DNA synthesis. CCNE1 overexpression disrupts CDK1 homeostasis, at least in part, through premature activation of the MMB–FOXM1 mitotic transcriptional program. They concluded that PKMYT1 inhibition is a promising strategy for treating CCNE1-amplified cancers.

Centrifuge at 100×g for 5 minutes at room temperature, remove the supernatant, resuspend the hepatocytes in an appropriate volume of incubation medium, and calculate the cell viability using trypan blue staining. 198 μL of hepatocyte suspension (0.51×106 cells / mL) was added to the preheated incubation plate. For the culture medium control group, 198 μL of incubation medium without hepatocytes was added to the T0-MC and T120-MC incubation plates. All incubation plates were preincubated in a 37°C incubator for 10 minutes.
[0177] Add 2 μL of the test and control compound working solutions, mix thoroughly, and immediately place the plate on a plate shaker in the incubator. Start the timer to initiate the reaction. Prepare two replicates for each compound at each time point. Incubate at 37°C, saturated humidity, and 5% CO2.
[0178] In the assay system, the final concentration of the test article was 1 μM, the final concentration of the control article was 3 μM, the final concentration of hepatocytes was 0.5 × 10⁶ cells / mL, and the final concentration of total organic solvent was 0.96%, including 0.1% DMSO. At the end of the incubation period, the incubation plates were removed, and 25 μL of the mixture of compound and control compound with cells was added to a sample plate containing 125 μL of stop solution (200 ng / mL tolbutamide and labenolol in acetonitrile). For the blank sample plate, 25 μL of the incubation medium without hepatocytes was added directly. All sample plates were sealed and shaken on a plate shaker at 600 rpm for 10 minutes, followed by centrifugation at 3220 × g for 20 minutes. The supernatants of the test article and control articles were diluted 1:3 with ultrapure water. All samples were mixed and analyzed by LC / MS / MS.

[0189] Common enzyme activity test methods such as radioactive element methods and HTRF
[0190] 4. Experimental steps
[0191] First, the enzyme solution is diluted to a working concentration according to the dilution buffer recipe for each kinase. Next, the compounds are prepared, all prepared in 100% DMSO at 50x the final assay concentration. The compound is added to the assay wells as the first component in the reaction, followed by the remaining components, as detailed in the general assay protocol below. In the standard KinaseProfiler service, there is no pre-incubation step between the compound and the kinase before the reaction begins. Our positive control wells contain all reaction components except for the reference compound, which contains DMSO (final concentration of 2%), indicating 0% inhibition. Our blanks contain all reaction components with the reference inhibitor substituted for the compound of interest, indicating 100% inhibition. The experimental procedure is described using AAK1(h) as an example among 435 kinases. AAK1(h) is incubated with 8 mM MOPS pH 7.0, 0.2 mM EDTA, 250 μM substrate, 10 mM magnesium acetate, and [γ-33P-ATP] (specific activity and concentration determined as needed). The reaction is initiated by adding the Mg / ATP mixture. After incubation at room temperature for 120 minutes, the reaction was stopped by adding phosphoric acid to a final concentration of 0.5%. Aliquots of the stopped reaction were spotted onto filters and washed four times with 0.425% phosphoric acid for 4 minutes each and once in methanol before drying and scintillation counting.
[0192] 5. Experimental Results
[0193] The experimental results are shown in Table 6. The results show that at high concentrations, the compound of formula (I) inhibits less than 20% of the kinases with an inhibition rate greater than 50%, indicating that the compound of formula (I) has good kinase selectivity and good safety.

[0221] The tumor inhibition efficacy of a compound was evaluated using the tumor inhibition rate (TGI) (%) or the tumor inhibition rate (T / C) (%). TGI (%) was calculated as follows: TGI (%) = [1 - (average tumor volume of a treatment group at the end of dosing - average tumor volume of the treatment group at the start of dosing) / (average tumor volume of the solvent control group at the end of treatment - average tumor volume of the solvent control group at the start of treatment)] × 100%. Tumor proliferation rate (T / C) (%) was calculated as follows: T / C% = TVT (average tumor volume of the treatment group) / TVC (average tumor volume of the negative control group) × 100%.
[0222] 3.6 Statistical analysis
[0223] Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 8.3.0 software, based on the mean and standard error (SEM) of tumor volume at the end of the study. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA or T-test when variance was equal (p>0.05); Kruskal-Wallis or Mann-Whitney nonparametric tests were used when variance was unequal (p<0.05). A p<0.05 was considered significant.

The p-value was analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test with the Vehicle group as the control based on the D28 tumor volume of different groups: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; 2. The p-value was analyzed by Mann-Whitney non-parametric test with the Gemcitabine hydrochloride group as the control based on the D28 tumor volume of different groups: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; 3. Tumor proliferation rate T / C (%) = T (Average tumor volume of the treatment group) / TV C (Average tumor volume of the negative control group) × 100%. 4. The CI value was calculated based on the D28 tumor proliferation rate (T / C%) of the combination group and the corresponding single drug group. The calculation formula is as follows: Combination Index (CI) = AB(T / C%) / A(T / C%)*B(T / C%); when 0.3 < CI < 0.7, it is considered that there is an obvious synergistic effect between the two drugs; when 0.7 ≤ CI < 0.85, it is considered that there is a weak synergistic effect between the two drugs; when 0.85 ≤ CI < 1, it is considered that there is an additive effect between the two drugs;
