Abstract
Description
CYCLOPROPYL AND 1 ,3,4-OXODIAZOLE COMPOUNDS THAT MEDIATE PROTEIN DEGRADATION AND METHODS OF USE THEREOFBACKGROUND
[0001] The ubiquitin proteasome system can be manipulated with different small molecules to trigger targeted degradation of specific proteins of interest. Promoting the targeted degradation of pathogenic proteins using small molecule degraders is emerging as a new modality in the treatment of diseases. One such modality relies on redirecting the activity of E3 ligases such as cereblon (a phenomenon known as E3 reprogramming) using low molecular weight compounds, which have been termed molecular glues to promote the poly-ubiquitination and ultimately proteasomal degradation of new protein substrates involved in the development of diseases. The molecular glues bind to both the E3 ligase and the target protein, thereby mediating an alteration of the ligase surface and enabling an interaction with the target protein.
[0002] WO 2023 / 069700 and WO 2023 / 069720 provide compounds that mediate the degradation of the protein cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and are therefore useful in the treatment of various disorders, such as cancer.

The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improvesoverall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of disease or condition, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.
[0133] It is also to be understood that 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 a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.
[0134] Isomers, e.g., stereoisomers, can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E.L. Eliel, Ed., Univ, of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). The present disclosure additionally encompasses compounds described herein as individual isomers substantially free of other isomers, and alternatively, as mixtures of various isomers.
[0135] The compounds provided herein can be administered as the sole active agent, or they can be administered in combination with other active agents. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a combination of a compound of the present invention and another pharmacologically active agent.Administration in combination can proceed by any technique apparent to those of skill in the art including, for example, separate, sequential, concurrent, and alternating administration.
[0136] The present disclosure, in an alternative embodiment, also embraces isotopically labeled compounds which are identical to those recited herein, except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds described herein include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine and chlorine, such as2H,3H,13C,14C,15N,18O,170,31P,32P,35S,18F, and36C1, respectively. For example, a compound of the disclosure may have one or more H atom replaced with deuterium.Preparation of compounds
[0137] The compounds of the present invention, including salts, stereoisomers and isotopomers, can be prepared in a number of ways well known to those skilled in the art of synthetic organic chemistry. The compounds of formula I may for example be prepared using the reactions and techniques outlined below together with methods known in the art of synthetic organic chemistry, or variations thereof, as appreciated by those skilled in the art. Preferred methods include, but are not limited to, those described below.
[0138] The reactions are carried out in solvents appropriate to the reagents and materials employed and suitable for the transformations being effected. Also, in the synthetic methods described below, it is to be understood that all proposed reaction conditions, including choice of solvent, reaction atmosphere, reaction temperature, reaction time and work-up procedures, are chosen to be conditions of standard for that reaction, which should be readily recognized by one skilled in the art of synthetic organic chemistry.
[0139] The schemes below provide general guidance in connection with preparing the compounds of the invention. One skilled in the art would understand that the preparations shown in the schemes can be modified or optimized using general knowledge of organic chemistry to prepare various compounds of the invention. Not all compounds falling into a given class may be compatible with some reaction conditions required in some of the methods described. Such restrictions to the substituents which are compatible with the reaction conditions will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art and alternative methods can then be used.
[0140] All starting materials are either commercially available or can be prepared by routine synthetic methods well known to a person skilled in the art.General Scheme 1

[0142] Compounds of formula Intermediate A can be synthesized using the processes shown in General Scheme 1. Iodination of benzoic acids 1-1 under appropriate conditions, e.g., treatment of a suspension or solution of 1-1 in sulfuric acid with A-iodosuccinimide at 0-25 °C for 12 h, affords iodides 1-2. Esterification of acids 1-2 under appropriate conditions, e.g., treatment of a suspension or solution of 1-2 in methanol with thionyl chloride at 80 °C for 12 h, yields methyl esters 1-3. Bromination of esters 1-3 with an appropriate reagent, e.g., A-bromo succinimide together with azobisisobutyronitrile or benzoyl peroxide, in an appropriate solvent, e.g., chloroform, under appropriate conditions, e.g., at 80 °C for 12 h, affords bromides1-4. Treatment of bromides 1-4 with amine hydrochloride 1-5 and a suitable base, e.g., N.N- diisopropylethylamine, in a suitable solvent, e.g., acetonitrile, under appropriate conditions, e.g., at 80 °C for 12 h, yields isoindolinones 1-6. Reacting isoindolinones 1-6 with cyclopropane 1-7 under appropriate conditions, e.g., [(bipy)2Ni2(p-Cl)2C12(H2O)2], zinc, and trimethylchorosilane in dimethylacetamide at 0-25 °C for 12 h, affords cyclopropanes 1-8.
[0143] A person skilled in the art would understand that Intermediate A can be prepared with various R2groups by starting from 1-1 with the desired R2group already present. For example, to make Intermediate A with R2= hydrogen or halogen, the synthesis might start from 1-1 with the desired R2already in place. Alternatively, the desired R2group could be introduced at a later step of the process. For example, from 1-8 with R2= Cl, other R2groups could be introduced by e.g., coupling reactions with the R2= Cl substituent, as illustrated in optional steps g and h which can be used to prepare Intermediate A with R2= alkyl. Optional step g illustrates how 1-8 with R2= methyl can be synthesised from 1-8 with R2= Cl under appropriate conditions, e.g., using trimethylboroxine, XPhos Pd G2, XPhos, and K2CO3 in dimethylformamide at 100 °C for 12 h, or using trimethylboroxine, PEPPSI™-IPr catalyst, and K2CO3 in dioxane at 100 °C for 12 h, whereas optional step h illustrates how 1-8 with R2= difluoromethyl can be synthesised from 1-8 with R2= Cl under appropriate conditions, e.g., using CHCIF2, MgCF. MS 3 A, NiCF, 4,4’-diamino-2,2’-bipyridyl, 4-(A'.A'-dimcthylamino)pyridinc. and zinc in dimethylacetamide at 60 °C for 12 h.
[0144] Deprotection of cyclopropanes 1-8 under appropriate conditions, e.g., treatment of a suspension or solution of 1-8 in dioxane with anhydrous hydrogen chloride at 20-25 °C for 0.5-2 h, yields compounds of formula Intermediate A.
[0145] Alternatively, isoindolinones 1-6 may be SEM-protected under appropriate conditions, e.g., treatment of a suspension or solution of 1-6 in dimethylformamide or tetrahydrofuran with (2- chloromethoxyethyl)trimethylsilane (SEMC1) and l,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) at 0-25 °C for 1-6 h, to yield isoindolinones 1-9. Similar to the preparation of cyclopropane 1-8, reacting isoindolinones 1-9 with cyclopropane 1-7 under appropriate conditions, e.g., [(bipy)2Ni2(p-Cl)2C12(H2O)2], zinc, and trimethylchorosilane in dimethylacetamide at 0-25 °C for 12 h, affords cyclopropanes 1-10. Deprotection of cyclopropanes 1-10 under appropriate conditions, e.g., sequential treatment with 4 M HC1 in dioxane at 20 °C for 1 h, then trifluoro acetic acid in dichloromethane at 20 °C for 1 h, and finally aqueous ammonia in acetonitrile at 20 °C for 1 h, yields compounds of formula Intermediate A.
[0146] Alternatively, isoindolinones 1-9 may be coupled with cyclopropane 1-11 under appropriate conditions, e.g., using a suitable catalyst such as Pd(ABu3?)2 in tetrahydrofuran at 70 °C for 12 h, to yield cyclopropanes 1-12. Deprotection of cyclopropanes 1-12 under appropriate conditions, e.g., treatment of a suspension or solution of 1-12 in dichloromethane with trifluoro acetic acid at 20 °C for 1 h followed byaqueous ammonia in acetonitrile at 20 °C for 1 h, yields methyl esters 1-13. Hydrolysis of methyl esters 1-13 under appropriate conditions, e.g., microwave heating of a suspension or solution of 1-13 and lithium chloride in dimethylformamide at 160 °C for 1 h, affords carboxylic acids 1-14. Reacting carboxylic acids 1- 14 under appropriate conditions, e.g., diphenylphosphoryl azide, triethylamine, and 4 A molecular sieves in dioxane at 20 °C for 1 h followed by 1 M hydrochloric acid at 80 °C for 4 h, yields compounds of formula Intermediate A.General Scheme 2

[0148] Compounds of Formula I can be synthesized using the processes shown in General Scheme 2. Esterification of carboxylic acids 2-1 under appropriate conditions, e.g., treatment of a suspension or solution of 2-1 in dimethylformamide with methyl iodide in the presence of potassium carbonate at 20-30 °C for 2-12 h; or treatment of a suspension or solution of 2-1 in methanol with SOCI2 (added at 0 °C) followed by stirring at 25-75 °C for 2-12 h; or treatment of a suspension or solution of 2-1 in dichloromethane withmethanol, 4-(A'.A'-dimcthylamino)pyridinc. and A'.A' -dicyclohcxylcarbodiimidc at 25 °C for 12 h, affords esters 2-2. Alternatively, esters 2-2 can be purchased from commercial suppliers. Treatment of a suspension or solution of esters 2-2 in a suitable solvent, e.g., methanol or ethanol, with hydroxylamine hydrate at 50-80 °C for 1-12 h yields hydrazides 2-3. Alternatively, hydrazides 2-3 can be prepared from carboxylic acids 2-1 under appropriate conditions, e.g., sequential treatment of 2-1 with carbonyldiimidazole in tetrahydrofuran at 60 °C for 3 h followed by hydroxylamine hydrate in tetrahydrofuran at 25 °C for 1 h. Alternatively, protected hydrazides 2-6 can be prepared from carboxylic acids 2-1 under appropriate conditions, e.g., treatment of 2-1 with H2NNHB0C and EDCI in dichloromethane at 20-25 °C for 2-12 h; or treatment of 2-1 with H2NNHB0C, EDCI, HOBt, and triethylamine in dichloromethane at 25 °C for 12 h. Deprotection of protected hydrazides 2-6 under appropriate conditions, e.g., treatment of a suspension or solution of 2-6 in dichloromethane with trifluoroacetic acid at 20-25 °C for 1-4 h; or of a suspension or solution of 2-6 in ethyl acetate with hydrogen chloride at 25 °C for 2 h, yields hydrazides 2-3.
[0149] Cyclization of hydrazides 2-3 under appropriate conditions, e.g., cyanogen bromide and sodium hydrogen carbonate in dioxane and water at 25 °C for 2-12 h; or cyanogen bromide in methanol at 60-80 °C for 1-12 h; or diimidazole imine in tetrahydrofuran at 60-80 °C for 2-12 h, yields aminooxadiazoles 2-4. Treatment of aminooxadiazoles 2-4 under appropriate conditions, e.g., with ZcrZ-butylnitritc and copper(I) bromide in acetonitrile at 60-80 °C for 1-3 h; or with ZcrZ-but lnitritc and copper(II) bromide in acetonitrile at 60-65 °C for 0.5-5 h; or with with ZcrZ-butylnitritc and potassium bromide in acetonitrile at 20 °C for 12 h, affords bromooxadiazoles 2-5. Coupling of bromooxadiazoles 2-5 with Intermediate B under appropriate conditions, e.g., treatment of a suspension or solution of these two reactants with a suitable base such as A'.A'-diisopropylcthylaminc or triethylamine in a suitable solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethyl acetamide at 80-130 °C for 1-12 h yields compounds of Formula I.
[0150] Alternatively, aldehydes 2-7 may be converted to hydroxyoxadiazoles 2-9 via intermediate hydrazones 2-8, which are not isolated. For example, condensation of 2-7 with EENNHBoc in the presence of acetic acid in an appropriate solvent, e.g., methanol, at 60 °C for 5 h affords intermediate hydrazones 2-8, which are reacted without isolation with [ ?A(acetoxy)iodo]benzene in methanol at 60 °C for 12-18 h to yield hydroxyoxadiazoles 2-9. Alternatively, hydroxyoxadiazoles 2-9 may be obtained from hydrazides 2-3 under appropriate conditions, e.g., treating a solution or suspension of 2-3 in dichloromethane with carbonyldiimidazole and A'.A'-diisopropylcthylaminc at 25 °C for 6 h. Coupling of hydroxyoxadiazoles 2-9 with Intermediate B under appropriate conditions, e.g., treatment of a suspension or solution of these two reactants in a suitable solvent, e.g., dimethylacetamide, with an appropriate coupling reagent, e.g., chlorotripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyCloP), in the presence of a suitable base, e.g., N,N- diisopropylethylamine, at 25-60 °C for 12-18 h yields compounds of Formula I.EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS1.
