Description
Thiazole-substituted pyrimidine amine compounds, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and uses thereof
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application 202410597688X with a filing date of 2024 / 5 / 14. This application incorporates the entirety of the aforementioned Chinese patent application. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application belongs to the field of medicine, and specifically relates to thiazole-substituted pyrimidine amine compounds, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and uses thereof. BACKGROUND
[0003] Cell cycle-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of serine / threonine kinases whose catalytic activity is regulated by interactions with cyclins and endogenous CDK inhibitors (CKIs). The close cooperation between these three ensures the orderly progression of the cell cycle. In addition to cell cycle regulation, CDKs are also involved in the regulation of gene transcription, epigenetic regulation, metabolism, stem cell self-renewal, neuronal function, and spermatogenesis (Lim & Kaldis, 2013).
[0004] There are currently 20 members of the CDK family, designated CDK1-CDK20. With the evolutionary expansion of the CDK family, they are mainly divided into two subfamilies, the cell cycle-related subfamily (CDK1, CDK4 and CDK5) and the transcription subfamily (CDK7, CDK8, CDK9, CDK11 and CDK20) (Malumbres, 2014).
[0005] Dysregulation of the cell cycle is associated with dysregulation of CDKs, which is a defining feature of cancer, ultimately promoting abnormal proliferation, thereby promoting tumorigenesis and disease progression. In this regard, over the past few decades, several CDK inhibitors (CDKIs) have been developed (first-, second- and third-generation CDKIs) to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. First- and second-generation CDKIs have not benefited much in the treatment of cancer patients due to their limited specificity and high toxicity. Third-generation CDKIs have achieved the most promising results at the preclinical and clinical levels, propelling them into the late stages of clinical trials for the treatment of various malignancies (particularly breast cancer) and completely changing the traditional treatment strategy (Mughal et al., 2023).
[0006] Third-generation CDKIs specifically target CDK4 / 6 with better selectivity and low toxicity, have been clinically proven safe and effective in the treatment of ER-positive HER2-negative breast cancer patients, which form CDK4 / 6-cyclin D complex by binding with cyclin D, phosphorylate retinoblastoma protein (Rb), release and activate the previously bound transcription factor E2F, and make the cell transition from Gl phase to S phase. CDK4 / 6 inhibitors induce cell arrest in Gl phase, showing a senescent phenotype. Selective CDK4 / 6 inhibitors such as Palbociclib, Ribociclib and Abemaciclib have been approved for the treatment of ER-positive HER2-negative breast cancer patients.
[0007] CDK2 is another CDK subtype that mainly functions in the G1 to S phase of the cell cycle. In the late Gl phase, CDK2 binds with cyclin E to form a proteasome complex CDK2-cyclin E and is activated, which promotes further phosphorylation of a series of substrates including Rb, and induces the sustained expression of transcription factor E2F, thereby regulating the smooth passage of cells through Gl phase. After entering the S phase, CDK2 binds with cyclin A to form a complex CDK2-cyclin A involved in the progression of the cell cycle S phase, and completes the replication of DNA. High expression of cyclin E and activation of complex CDK2-cyclin E are a mechanism for clinical breast cancer patients to be resistant to selective CDK4 / 6 inhibitors.
[0008] Evidence suggests that CDK2 inhibitors also have application prospects as cancer targets. First, a variety of genetic changes can up-regulate cyclin E1 levels and activate CDK2. CCNE1 gene amplification is found in a significant proportion of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), gastroesophageal cancer and uterine serous carcinoma, and CCNE1 amplification is associated with cyclin E1 overexpression, CDK2-dependent proliferation, chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis. Second, in some lung cancer, colorectal cancer and hematological tumors, F-box family protein FBXW7 is inactivated, thereby inhibiting the degradation of cyclin E1. In addition, the possible acquired resistance of Luminal breast cancer to CDK4 / 6 inhibitors may be due to Cyclin E amplification or overexpression. This provides a theoretical basis for studying the inhibition of CDK2 in these tumors.
[0009] First, selective CDK2 inhibitors can target CDK2 alone in cancers where CDK2 is the main driver, avoiding the toxicity and dose-limiting of CDK4 / 6 inhibition. Second, in cancers where combined inhibition of CDK4 / 6 and CDK2 is needed, more flexible dosing can improve drug efficacy and patient tolerability. Third, selective CDK2 inhibitors can provide insights into the roles of CDK2 and CDK4 / 6 in different tumors. More research has found that CDK2 inhibitors have a wider development potential, and single-agent can be used for CCNE1 amplified ovarian cancer, MYCN amplified neuroblastoma, KRAS mutant lung cancer treatment, hormone-dependent breast cancer and prostate cancer, etc. (Tadesse et al., 2020). In combination: CDK2 combined with anti-mitotic therapy can produce a synergistic effect in TNBC, combined with PI3K inhibitors to synergistically inhibit CCNE1 amplification in serous uterine cancer, combined with CDK4 / 6 inhibitors or BRAF / HSP90 inhibitors to eliminate early adaptive rebound and solve drug resistance problems (Tadesse et al., 2020).
[0010] Several selective CDK2 inhibitors have entered early clinical trials, including INX315 (Incyclix Bio), PF-07104091 (Pfizer), BLU-222 (Blueprint Medicine), INCB123667 (Incyte), and ARTS-021 (Allorion Therapeutics). However, the selectivity of these selective CDK2 inhibitors is not perfect. So far, their effectiveness and safety in clinical trials have yet to be verified. Therefore, there is still a great clinical need to develop new CDK2 inhibitors with higher selectivity. CDK2 inhibitors with higher selectivity can safely address the unmet clinical need of patients who have developed resistance to CDK4 / 6 inhibitors, as well as provide a better treatment option for new precision medicine.
[0011] Incyte discloses an imidazole-substituted pyrimidine amine compound as a CDK2 inhibitor in patent US11427567B2, the present application provides a novel chemical structure of thiazole-substituted pyrimidine amine compound, which is unexpectedly found that such novel compounds further improve the inhibitory activity of CDK2 and the selectivity of CDK1 subtype. CDK1 is the only necessary CDK in the cell cycle (Santamaría et al., 2007), and knockout of CDK1 can cause mouse embryonic death, conditional knockout of CDK1 has a greater impact on liver and brain cells, especially causing devastating damage to both male and female germ cells (Campbell et al., 2020). Most of the first and second generation CDK inhibitors in clinical trials inevitably target CDK1, which is an important factor for the lack of clinical benefits (Mughal et al., 2023). Therefore, the higher the selectivity of CDK1, the higher the expected clinical safety. High-efficiency inhibition of CDK2 activity and weak or no inhibition of CDK1 are the properties that selective CDK2 inhibitors dream of. SUMMARY

The present application aims to provide a thiazole-substituted pyrimidine amine compound, its pharmaceutical composition and application. Such compounds have strong inhibitory effect on CDK2 and no obvious inhibitory effect on CDK1, so they have higher selectivity. High selectivity brings higher safety, and has good application prospect in the prevention and / or treatment of various diseases related to CDK2.

[0135] Experimental Example 1: Testing of the affinity of the compounds to CDK2, CDK1 at the cellular level
[0136] The NanoLuc fusion protein CDK1 (NV2701, 1 pg / pL) or CDK2 (NV2781, 1 pg / pL) and CCNB1 expression vector (NV2601, 1 pg / pL) or CCNE1 expression vector (NV2641, 1 pg / pL) were transiently transfected into HEK 293 cells (ATCC, CRL-1573): 1 pg of NanoLuc fusion protein and 9 pg of expression vector were added to 1 mL of culture medium (opti-MEM) and mixed with 20 mL of cell culture medium. Plated in 384-well, incubated overnight, and different dilutions of compounds or tracers (Promega, N2640) were added. The compounds were diluted with DMSO, 4-fold dilution, 10 concentration gradients, 2.5 pL of intermediate concentration of compounds were added to each well, the final compound concentration of CDK1 ranged from 10 pM to 0.0381 nM, the final compound concentration of CDK2 ranged from 100 nM to 0.0004 nM, and the final DMSO concentration was 0.1%. The tracer DMSO stock solution was diluted with tracer dilution buffer (Promega, N2640), and 2.5 pL of tracer dilution was added to each well to make the final concentration of the tracer 0.5 pM and the final concentration of DMSO 1%. Incubated in a 37°C 5% CO2 incubator for 2 hours, and then 60 pM of 3X NanoBRET Nano-Glo substrate (Promega, N2160) was added to each well, 25 pL per well. The donor signal at 450 nm and the acceptor signal at 610 nm were measured using the Envision instrument (2105). The acceptor emission value (650 nm) of each sample was divided by the donor emission value (460 nm) to generate the original BRET ratio value. After background correction, the mBU value was calculated = [(acceptor sample / donor sample) - (acceptor no tracer control / donor no tracer control)] x 1000. The inhibition rate = (mBU_AVE of negative controls - mBU_sample) / (mBU_negative control - mBU_AVE of positive control) * 100 was calculated. IC 50 Values were obtained by fitting using PRISM software and in the model of log(inhibitor) vs response-Variable slope.
[0137] The results show that the compounds of the present application have better binding activity to CDK2 (NanoBRET_affinity test IC 50≤ 10 nM), weaker binding to CDK1 (NanoBRET_ Affinity Test IC 50 ≥ 3247 nM), thus selectively binding to CDK2, avoiding binding to CDK1. Specifically, compared with the reference PF07104091, Example 5 and 6 have stronger affinity to CDK2 / Cyclin E1 and better selectivity to CDK1 / Cyclin B1. Meanwhile, INC176 is a compound of claim 1 disclosed in patent US11427567B2, and Example 5 and 6 have similar or better CDK2 binding activity compared with INC176, but Example 5 and 6 have no detectable binding activity to CDK1, thus having higher selectivity to CDK2 / Cyclin E1 in cells.

[0139] Experimental Example 2: Testing of compounds on CDK2 / 1 enzyme activity at the molecular level

[0142] Preparation of compounds in the test of CDK2: the compound is diluted 2000 times with DMSO (the compound is stored at a concentration of 10 mM, and at this time the concentration is 5 μM, which is the highest concentration point), and the highest concentration point is the first point, and 4-fold gradient dilution is carried out in DMSO, a total of 10 gradients.
[0143] The 6 μL of the prepared 10 gradient samples were added into 44 μL of ddH2O, 2 μL was transferred to a 384-well assay plate (the final test concentration, the test concentration of CDK1 ranged from 20 μM to 0.076 nM, the test concentration of CDK2 ranged from 100 nM to 0.0004 nM, 5 μL of 0.015 nM CDK2 / Cyclin E1 (Biortus) working solution or 5 μL of 0.01 nM CDK1 / Cyclin B1 (Biortus) working solution was added to each well, pre-incubated for 30 min, 5 μL of substrate mixture (2 μM CDK7tide and 2 mM ATP) (scilight-peptide and VWR) was added to each well, incubated at 27°C for 70 min, quenched the reaction with 4 μL of 150 mM EDTA, and the values were read on a Caliper EZ Reader II. IC 50 The values were obtained by fitting using PRISM software and in a log (inhibitor) vs response-Variable slope model.
[0144] The results show that the compounds of the present application have better catalytic inhibition activity on CDK2 (MSA_Enzyme Activity Test IC 50 ≤ 2 nM) and weaker catalytic inhibition activity on CDK1 (MSA_Enzyme Activity Test IC 50 ≥ 130 nM), thereby selectively inhibiting CDK2. Specifically, compared with the reference PF07104091 and INC176, Examples 5 and 6 have stronger catalytic inhibition ability on CDK2 / Cyclin E1. Meanwhile, the selectivity data of Examples 3, 5, 6 and 7 on CDK1 / Cyclin B1 show higher selectivity than PF07104091 and INC176.
[0145] Experimental Example 3: Anti-proliferation activity test of the compounds on tumor cells
[0146] The anti-proliferation test of the compound on human ovarian cancer cells was detected by CyQUANT method. OVCAR-3 cells were obtained from ATCC, and after the cells were recovered and stable, the cells were collected, and the viable cell count was greater than 90%. 500 cells were seeded into a 384-well plate, and the next day, an equal proportion of dilution series of the compound was added, 3-fold gradient dilution, a total of 10 gradient concentrations. 400 nL of the diluted compound was transferred to a 384-well plate containing 39.6 μL of medium and mixed well, and the final concentration range was 10000 nM to 0.51 nM. The blank control well only added medium without cells, and the solvent control well added 0.1% DMSO (total volume was 40 μL per well). After incubation for 6 days, on the 7th day, 400 rpm centrifugation for 30 seconds, remove the supernatant, add 25 μL per well of NF dye reagent (Invitrogen, C35006) diluted 501 times with HBSS buffer, incubate at 37°C for 60 minutes in the dark, and Envision reading: excitation wavelength is 485 nm, and emission detection wavelength is 530 nm. Calculate the inhibition rate (IR): IR (%) = (1-(RLU compound-RLU blank control) / (RLU solvent control-RLU blank control))*100%. IC The value was obtained by fitting using PRISM software and in the log(inhibitor)vs response-Variable slope model. 50
[0147] The results show that the compound of the present application has a dose-dependent anti-proliferation effect on the CCNE1 high-expression cell line OVCAR3. Specifically, compared with the reference PF07104091, the anti-proliferation activity of Examples 3 and 5 is slightly stronger.
[0148] In summary, the present application discloses a novel thiazole-substituted pyrimidine amine compound, which is different from the chemical structure of the reported or disclosed CDK2 inhibitors. It is unexpectedly found that the CDK2 selectivity of the present application is higher, and the excellent selectivity is expected to bring higher clinical safety and patient compliance, and has high clinical anti-tumor drug value and use.
