Description

Cell cycle regulators Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular relates to a cell cycle protein regulator. Background Art

[0002] Unlike most traditional drugs that directly inhibit the action of molecular targets, molecular glue degraders kill cancer cells by destroying target proteins through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. For example, the multiple myeloma drug lenalidomide is a molecular glue degrader that recruits E3 ubiquitin ligase to mark the target protein in the cell and then degrade it. Unlike traditional small molecule inhibitors, molecular glues drive target ubiquitination and induce degradation in a catalytic manner, which is a new strategy that can inactivate targets that are difficult to treat with traditional pharmacological methods. Molecular glues also cleverly circumvent the limitations of traditional inhibitors, turning some targets from "non-drugable" to "drugable."

[0003] The cell cycle is a fundamental process in cellular life, controlling the transition of cells from a quiescent phase to a proliferative phase. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and cyclins are core molecules in the entire cell cycle regulatory mechanism. In normal cells, the activity of cyclins is strictly controlled by their cell cycle-specific transcription and protein degradation, as well as the influence of certain CDK inhibitory proteins. In addition to promoting cell division, cyclins are also responsible for regulating various cellular functions. This mechanism is jointly operated by cyclins and their catalytic partners, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). However, these influencing factors often become uncontrolled in human cancers, leading to abnormal activation of cyclins. Abnormal activity of the cell cycle mechanism is present in virtually all types of tumors and is a driving force in tumorigenesis. Targeting specific cyclins may become an effective anti-cancer strategy.

[0004] To date, only a few CDK inhibitors have been marketed, all of which are CDK4 / 6 inhibitors. Inhibitors that selectively target other CDK families struggle to achieve the required specificity and are almost all multi-target inhibitors, exhibiting unacceptable toxicity in clinical practice, thus hindering their clinical application. Furthermore, while kinase inhibitors can lead to the removal of kinase subunits, they simultaneously maintain the integrity of cell cycle proteins, potentially triggering compensatory mechanisms. Kinase degradation can lead to effects that outlast the inhibitory effect.

[0005] While molecular glue degraders are highly desirable, clinically effective, and highly sought-after, few have been discovered to date, and most have been discovered by chance. CR8, a newly discovered cyclin K (Cyclin K) degrader, is primarily a multikinase inhibitor that inhibits the activity of multiple cyclins in the CDK family, resulting in toxicity that limits its clinical application. In addition to its poor selectivity, its activity in degrading Cyclin K is also modest, limiting its use in catalytic amounts.

[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need in the art to develop a class of cell cycle protein regulators such as cell cycle protein degraders with higher activity and / or lower toxicity. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cell cycle protein degrader with higher activity, or a novel cell cycle protein regulator.

[0179] As used herein, the term "heteroatom" is intended to include oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), and silicon (Si).

[0180] For the compounds provided herein, a bond from a substituent (typically an R group) to the center of an aromatic ring (e.g., benzene, pyridine, etc.) will be understood to mean a bond providing attachment at any available vertex of the aromatic ring. In some embodiments, this description also includes attachment to a ring fused to an aromatic ring. For example, a bond drawn to the center of an indole benzene moiety will represent a bond attached to any available vertex of a six-membered or five-membered ring moiety of indole.

[0181] As used herein, "a portion derived from..." refers to the portion or fragment of an active substance (e.g., a polypeptide element such as an antibody or a targeting ligand) that remains after the active substance is linked to another portion by certain means (e.g., reacting an active group thereon, or introducing an active group therein for reaction), and the portion or fragment retains the function of the active substance (e.g., the ability to target a desired receptor). Specific linking groups formed by "derivation" include, but are not limited to, -NH-, -CONH-, -CO-, -SS-, and the like.

[0182] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is intended to include salts of the active compounds prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases, depending on the particular substituents on the compounds described herein. When the compounds of the present invention contain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of salts derived from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic bases include aluminum, ammonium, calcium, copper, ferric, ferrous, lithium, magnesium, manganic, manganous, potassium, sodium, zinc, and the like.

When compounds of the present invention contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid, monohydrogencarbonic acid, phosphoric acid, monohydrogenphosphoric acid, dihydrogenphosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, monohydrogensulfuric acid, hydroiodic acid, or phosphorous acid, and the like; and salts derived from relatively non-toxic organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, malonic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid, suberic acid, fumaric acid, mandelic acid, phthalic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, methanesulfonic acid, and the like.

Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functional groups, which can allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts.

[0183] The neutral forms of the compounds can be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in a conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties (e.g., solubility in polar solvents), but other than that, for the purposes of the present invention, those salts are equivalent to the parent form of the compound.

[0184] In addition to salt forms, the present invention provides compounds in prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present invention. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir containing an appropriate enzyme or chemical reagent, a prodrug can be slowly converted to a compound of the present invention.

[0185] Certain compounds of the present invention may exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. Solvated forms are generally equivalent to unsolvated forms and are intended to be encompassed within the scope of this invention. Certain compounds of the present invention may exist in polymorphic or amorphous forms.

For example, a compound may incorporate a radioactive isotope, such as tritium ( 3 H), iodine-125 ( 125 I) or carbon-14 ( 14 C), or non-radioactive isotopes such as deuterium ( 2 H) or carbon-13 ( 13 C) In addition to those uses described herein, such isotopic variants may provide additional uses. For example, isotopic variants of the compounds of the present invention may have additional uses, including but not limited to, as diagnostic and / or imaging agents, or as cytotoxic / radiotoxic therapeutic agents.

All isotopic variants of the compounds of the present invention, whether or not radioactive, are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.

[0188] Molecular glue degrader

[0189] Current studies have found that the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor CR8 is also a molecular glue degrader. CR8 can more effectively kill cancer cells by inducing CDK12 / cyclin K to directly form a complex with CUL4 / DDB1, causing cyclin K to be ubiquitinated and degraded through the proteasome system.

[0190] Further structural analysis of the protein-small molecule-protein complex CUL4-RBX1-DDB1-CR8-CDK12-cyclin revealed that CDK12 plays a role similar to that of a CRBN substrate receptor. The presence and correct orientation of the 2-pyridine moiety on the CDK12 surface and CR8 increase the gain of function of CR8, leading to the degradation of cyclin K. Specifically, CR8-phenylpyridine imparts molecular glue activity, inducing cyclin K degradation and increasing the toxicity of CR8.

[0191] By modifying the CR8 structure, the authors discovered that the activity of the CR8 molecular glue is largely dependent on a 2-pyridine moiety exposed on the kinase surface. They concluded that this chemical group enables CR8 to function as a molecular glue degrader. Therefore, chemically modifying the surface-exposed portion of inhibitors can transform them into molecular glue degraders for specific protein targets.

[0192] However, the inventors have found in their research that the compounds having the structures shown in the present invention, formula (I), formula (II), formula (II-1), and formula (II-2) still have excellent effects of inducing the degradation of cell cycle proteins such as cyclin K, regardless of the presence or absence of a pyridine substituent (or other nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic ring substituent) or whether they are pyridine substituents (or other nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic ring substituents). Based on this, the inventors have provided a series of novel cell cycle protein regulators (more specifically, molecular glue degraders).

[0193] In one aspect, the present invention provides a molecular glue degrader (also referred to herein as a degrader or a cell cycle protein degrader), wherein the molecular glue degrader is a compound as shown in formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,

[0205] Conjugate

[0206] The present invention also provides a conjugate, which is a compound comprising a molecular glue degrading agent portion or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the molecular glue degrading agent portion is derived from the molecular glue degrading agent as defined above.

[0207] In another preferred embodiment, the conjugate further comprises a polypeptide element or a targeting ligand portion.

[0208] In another preferred embodiment, the conjugate is a conjugate formed by linking the compound described in the first aspect with a polypeptide element or a targeting ligand.

[0209] polypeptide element

[0210] As used herein, the term "polypeptide element" includes peptide segments (e.g., short peptides of 3-20 aa) or proteins. In addition, the term also includes intact proteins or fragments thereof. Preferred polypeptide elements include antibodies (e.g., intact antibodies, single-chain antibodies, nanobodies, antibody fragments), especially antibodies against tumor cell markers (e.g., tumor markers located on the surface of tumor cells, such as cell surface receptors) or against inflammatory factors (e.g., inflammatory factors associated with autoimmune diseases).

[0211] As used herein, the terms "antibody" or "immunoglobulin" are heterotetrameric glycoproteins of approximately 150,000 daltons with identical structural features, consisting of two identical light chains (L) and two identical heavy chains (H). Each light chain is linked to a heavy chain by one covalent disulfide bond, while the number of disulfide bonds varies between heavy chains of different immunoglobulin isotypes. Each heavy and light chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain has a variable region (VH) at one end, followed by multiple constant regions. Each light chain has a variable region (VL) at one end and a constant region at the other end; the constant region of the light chain is opposite the first constant region of the heavy chain, and the variable region of the light chain is opposite the variable region of the heavy chain. Specific amino acid residues form an interface between the variable regions of the light and heavy chains.

[0212] As used herein, the terms "single-domain antibody" and "nanobody" have synonymous meanings and refer to the construction of a single-domain antibody consisting solely of a single heavy chain variable region by cloning the variable region of an antibody heavy chain. This is the smallest fully functional antigen-binding fragment. Typically, antibodies naturally lacking the light chain and heavy chain constant region 1 (CH1) are first obtained, and then the variable region of the antibody heavy chain is cloned to construct a single-domain antibody consisting solely of a single heavy chain variable region.

[0213] As used herein, the term "variable" refers to certain portions of the variable region of an antibody that differ in sequence, which contribute to the binding and specificity of each particular antibody for its specific antigen. However, variability is not evenly distributed throughout the variable region of an antibody. It is concentrated in three segments called complementarity determining regions (CDRs) or hypervariable regions in the variable regions of the light and heavy chains. The more conserved portions of the variable region are called framework regions (FRs). The variable regions of native heavy and light chains each contain four FR regions, which are generally in a β-pleated configuration and are connected by three CDRs that form a connecting loop, which in some cases can form a partially folded structure. The CDRs in each chain are closely together through the FR regions and, together with the CDRs of the other chain, form the antigen-binding site of the antibody. The constant regions are not directly involved in the binding of the antibody to the antigen, but they exhibit different effector functions, such as involvement in the antibody's antibody-dependent cellular toxicity.

[0214] The "light chains" of vertebrate antibodies (immunoglobulins) can be assigned to one of two distinct classes, called kappa and lambda, based on the amino acid sequence of their constant regions. Immunoglobulins can be divided into different classes based on the amino acid sequence of their heavy chain constant regions. There are five main classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, some of which are further divided into subclasses (isotypes), such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, and IgA2. The heavy chain constant regions corresponding to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively. The subunit structures and three-dimensional configurations of the different classes of immunoglobulins are well known in the art.

[0215] Generally, an antibody's antigen-binding properties are described by three specific regions located in the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, known as the variable regions (CDRs). These regions are divided into four framework regions (FRs). The amino acid sequences of the four FRs are relatively conserved and do not directly participate in the binding reaction. These CDRs form a ring structure, spatially close to each other through the β-sheet formed by the FRs between them. The CDRs on the heavy chain and the corresponding CDRs on the light chain constitute the antibody's antigen-binding site. The amino acid sequences of antibodies of the same type can be compared to determine which amino acids constitute the FR or CDR regions.

[0216] In the present invention, polypeptide elements may include not only intact antibodies, but also immunologically active antibody fragments (e.g., Fab or (Fab')2 fragments; antibody heavy chains; or antibody light chains) or fusion proteins formed by antibodies and other sequences. Therefore, the present invention also includes fragments, derivatives, and analogs of such antibodies.

[0275] When using a pharmaceutical composition, a safe and effective amount of the compound of the present invention is applied to a mammal (such as a human) in need of treatment, wherein the dosage during administration is a pharmaceutically effective dosage. Since the molecular glue degrader of the present invention has a more efficient tumor-killing effect than inhibitors, the degrader of the present invention only requires a low dose to achieve the effect of treating or preventing tumors compared to the use of inhibitors. Generally, for a person weighing 60 kg, the daily dosage is usually 0.01 to 10 mg (calculated as the degrader or the degrader portion of the conjugate or prodrug), preferably 0.05 to 5 mg, and more preferably 0.1-1 mg. Of course, the specific dosage should also take into account factors such as the route of administration and the patient's health status, which are all within the skill of a skilled physician.

[0276] The main advantages of the present invention include

[0277] (a) The compound of the present invention has an excellent effect of inducing the degradation of cyclin K.

[0278] (b) Further studies have revealed that the compounds of the present invention also have the function of inducing the degradation of other cell cycle proteins, thereby further increasing their cytotoxicity.

[0279] (c) Inhibitors typically require high doses to inhibit the function of pathogenic proteins and achieve the goal of suppressing tumor growth. Unlike conventional inhibitors, the degraders provided by the present invention typically require only a catalytic dose to directly degrade the pathogenic target protein and prevent the development of mutational resistance. Clinically, the dosage of inhibitors typically ranges from several milligrams to several hundred milligrams, while molecular glue degraders can be used in amounts of less than 1 milligram.

[0280] (d) Since the anti-tumor therapeutic effect can be exerted at a lower dose, the compound of the present application has a higher therapeutic window.

[0281] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are intended to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The experimental methods in the following examples, for which no specific conditions are specified, are generally based on conventional conditions or the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. Unless otherwise stated, percentages and parts are by weight.
