Description

[0001]- 1 - Novel Compounds Field of the Invention The present invention relates to fused tetracyclic heteroaromatic compounds and 5 antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising the compounds. The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of the compounds and ADCs, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, particularly for use in treating cancers. 10 Background of the Invention Small molecules that interact with genomic DNA have a long history of use in cancer chemotherapy (e.g. cisplatin family and anthracyclines).1Such molecules target DNA indiscriminately and display broad toxicity in patients owing to their lack of molecular and biological specificity. Despite adverse toxicity, these drugs are still widely 15 deployed in the clinic.2G-quadruplexes (G4s) are four-stranded, non-canonical nucleic acid secondary structures which can form in guanine-rich DNA and RNA sequences. In the human genome, there are over 700,000 G4 forming sequences.3–5These G4 motifs are 20 particularly enriched at repetitive elements of the genome, e.g. telomeres, and at gene regulatory regions of protein-coding genes including many oncogenes. Folded DNA and RNA G4s have been visualized in human cells and tissues,6–8mapped in human chromatin and the human transcripome,9–12and overall been found to be 25 more abundant in cancer-like cells and tissues7,9. G4s have been implicated in several key genome functions such as transcription, replication, translation, telomere maintenance and epigenetic regulation.13Many G4s are likely transient and readily resolved by helicases14. Unresolved DNA G4s can 30 impede DNA polymerases causing DNA damage and requiring homologous recombination (HR) repair15,16. Some compounds, named G4 ligands (G4L), have been shown to interact with and stabilise G4s in vitro and in human chromatin17–19. Given the involvement of G4s in 35 various pivotal cellular functions and the connection to cancer biology, G4Ls have been explored as therapeutic agents and shown antiproliferative and chemosensitizing effects against cancer cell lines and tumour models18,20–22. In cancer cells, DNA G4 stabilization may interfere with replication and transcription, affect epigenetic - 2 - modifications, promote DNA damage, affect the biogenesis and interactions of coding and non-coding RNA or impair telomerase and thereby inhibit tumour growth.18,23Different G4L chemotypes have been described to mediate genome-wide perturbations, target a subset of G4 topologies and particular G4s in certain 5 oncogenes.18Cancer cells often display higher sensitivity to G4L treatment than non-cancerous cells in accordance with the higher occurrence of folded G4s in the chromatin of cancer cell lines and tissues9,22. In addition, some G4Ls are synthetic lethal with loss of various10 cellular functions24, in particular DNA damage repair25–28, suggesting a biomarker- driven therapeutic approach as well as combination treatment with other agents. Some G4Ls have shown activity in HR-deficient cells and tumour models that were resistant to PARP inhibitor treatment as well as gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cells, indicating that some G4Ls may be used to target difficult to treat certain 15 tumours with acquired resistances.25,29,30The G4L CX-5461 entered clinical trials for solid tumours with HR-deficiency mutations (NCT02719977)26. An observed reversion of BRCA2 and PALB2 confirmed the mechanism of action. The molecule was overall well tolerated, but displayed dose- 20 limiting phototoxicity.26Similarly, photosensitivity had been observed in a previous clinical trial of CX-5461 in patients with hematologic malignancies.31There is a need to provide compounds with improved pharmacological and / or physiological and / or physicochemical properties and / or those that provide a useful 25 alternative to CX-5461.

In other words, X1, X2, X3, X4, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6and Q1are selected such that each ring of the fused tetracyclic ring system of Formula (I) is aromatic. 15 In the context of the present specification, a “hydrocarbyl” substituent group or a hydrocarbyl moiety in a substituent group only includes carbon and hydrogen atoms but, unless stated otherwise, does not include any heteroatoms, such as N, O or S, in its carbon skeleton. A hydrocarbyl group / moiety may be saturated or unsaturated (including aromatic), and may be straight-chained or branched, or be or include cyclic 20 groups wherein, unless stated otherwise, the cyclic group does not include any heteroatoms, such as N, O or S, in its carbon skeleton.

Examples of cyclic groups include cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocyclic, aryl and heteroaryl groups as discussed below. A cyclic group may be monocyclic, bicyclic (e.g. bridged, fused or spiro), or polycyclic. Typically, a cyclic group is a 3- to 12-membered cyclic group, which means it contains from 3 to 12 ring 20 atoms. More typically, a cyclic group is a 3- to 7-membered monocyclic group, which means it contains from 3 to 7 ring atoms. A “heterocyclic” substituent group or a heterocyclic moiety in a substituent group refers to a cyclic group or moiety including one or more carbon atoms and one or 25 more (such as one, two, three or four) heteroatoms, e.g. N, O or S, in the ring structure.

An “aryl” substituent group or an aryl moiety in a substituent group refers to an aromatic hydrocarbyl ring. The term “aryl” refers to monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 10 and polycyclic fused ring aromatic hydrocarbons wherein all of the fused ring systems (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are aromatic. Examples of aryl groups / moieties include phenyl, naphthyl, anthracenyl and phenanthrenyl. Unless stated otherwise, the term “aryl” does not include “heteroaryl”. 15 A “heteroaryl” substituent group or a heteroaryl moiety in a substituent group refers to an aromatic heterocyclic group or moiety. The term “heteroaryl” refers to monocyclic aromatic heterocycles and polycyclic fused ring aromatic heterocycles wherein all of the fused ring systems (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are aromatic.

Unless stated otherwise, where a cyclic group or moiety is stated to be aromatic, such 30 as an aryl or a heteroaryl group, it is to be understood that each ring system within the group or moiety (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) is aromatic. Similarly, where a cyclic group or moiety is stated to be non-aromatic, such as a cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl or non-aromatic heterocyclic group, it is to be understood that each ring system within the group or moiety - 8 - (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) is non-aromatic. And following the same convention, where a cyclic group or moiety is stated to be saturated, it is to be understood that each ring system within the group or moiety (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional 5 substituents) is saturated. For the purposes of the present specification, where a combination of moieties is referred to as one group, for example, arylalkyl, arylalkenyl, arylalkynyl, alkylaryl, alkenylaryl or alkynylaryl, the last mentioned moiety contains the atom by which the 10 group is attached to the rest of the molecule. An example of an arylalkyl group is benzyl. As will be appreciated, in an optionally substituted moiety: - each hydrogen atom may optionally be replaced by any specified monovalent 15 substituent; - any two hydrogen atoms attached to the same carbon or nitrogen atom may optionally be replaced by any specified π-bonded substituent; - any sulphur atom may optionally be substituted with one or two of any specified π-bonded substituents; and 20 - any two hydrogen atoms attached to the same or different atoms, within the same optionally substituted group or moiety, may optionally be replaced by any specified divalent bridging substituent. Typically a substituted group comprises 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents, more typically 1, 2 25 or 3 substituents, more typically 1 or 2 substituents, and more typically 1 substituent. Unless stated otherwise, any divalent bridging substituent (e.g. -O-, -S-, -NH-, -CH2-, -CH2-CH2-, etc.) of an optionally substituted group or moiety (e.g. R1) must only be attached to the specified group or moiety and may not be attached to a second group 30 or moiety (e.g. R2), even if the second group or moiety can itself be optionally substituted. The term “halo” includes fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. 35 Unless stated otherwise, where a group is prefixed by the term “halo”, such as a haloalkyl or halomethyl group, it is to be understood that the group in question is substituted with one or more halo groups independently selected from fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. Typically, the maximum number of halo substituents is limited only - 9 - by the number of hydrogen atoms available for substitution on the corresponding group without the halo prefix. For example, a halomethyl group may contain one, two or three halo substituents. A haloethyl or halophenyl group may contain one, two, three, four or five halo substituents. Similarly, unless stated otherwise, where a group 5 is prefixed by a specific halo group, it is to be understood that the group in question is substituted with one or more of the specific halo groups. For example, the term “fluoromethyl” refers to a methyl group substituted with one, two or three fluoro groups. 10 Similarly, unless stated otherwise, where a group is said to be “halo-substituted”, it is to be understood that the group in question is substituted with one or more halo groups independently selected from fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. Typically, the maximum number of halo substituents is limited only by the number of hydrogen atoms available for substitution on the group said to be halo-substituted. For example, 15 a halo-substituted methyl group may contain one, two or three halo substituents. A halo-substituted ethyl or halo-substituted phenyl group may contain one, two, three, four or five halo substituents. Unless stated otherwise, any reference to an element is to be considered a reference 20 to all isotopes of that element. Thus, for example, unless stated otherwise any reference to hydrogen is considered to encompass all isotopes of hydrogen including deuterium and tritium. Unless stated otherwise, any reference to a compound or group is to be considered a 25 reference to all tautomers of that compound or group. Where reference is made to a hydrocarbyl or other group including one or more heteroatoms N, O or S in its carbon skeleton, or where reference is made to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbyl or other group being replaced by an N, O or S atom, what is 30 intended is that: replaced by ; CH . N .. . is replaced by; –CH2– is replaced by –NH–, –O– or –S–; –CH3 is replaced by –NH2, –OH or –SH; 35 –CH= is replaced by –N=; - 10 - CH2= is replaced by NH=, O= or S=; or CH≡ is replaced by N≡; provided that the resultant group comprises at least one carbon atom. For example, methoxy, dimethylamino and aminoethyl groups are considered to be hydrocarbyl 5 groups including one or more heteroatoms N, O or S in their carbon skeleton. Typically, the compounds of the invention contain no more than one quaternary ammonium group. More typically, the compounds of the invention contain no quaternary ammonium groups. 10 In the context of the present specification, unless otherwise stated, a Cx-Cy group is defined as a group containing from x to y carbon atoms. For example, a C1-C4 alkyl group is defined as an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. For the purposes of allocating x and y in a Cx-Cy group, optional substituents are not taken 15 into account when calculating the total number of carbon atoms in the parent group substituted with the optional substituents. For the avoidance of doubt, replacement heteroatoms, e.g. N, O or S, are not to be counted as carbon atoms when calculating the number of carbon atoms in a Cx-Cy group. For example, a morpholinyl group is to be considered a C4 heterocyclic group, not a C6 heterocyclic group. 20 For the purposes of the present specification, where it is stated that a first atom or group is “directly attached” to a second atom or group it is to be understood that the first atom or group is covalently bonded to the second atom or group with no intervening atom(s) or group(s) being present. So, for example, for the group 25 -(C=O)N(CH3)2, the carbon atom of each methyl group is directly attached to the nitrogen atom and the carbon atom of the carbonyl group is directly attached to the nitrogen atom, but the carbon atom of the carbonyl group is not directly attached to the carbon atom of either methyl group. 30 As stated in accordance with the first aspect of the invention, R1is a bicyclic or a tricyclic group, wherein the bicyclic or the tricyclic group is non-aromatic, and wherein the bicyclic or the tricyclic group may optionally be substituted with one or more groups each independently selected from a halo, oxo (=O), -OH, -SH, -NH2, -SO2H, -SO3H, -SO2NH2, -NO2, or a C1-C12 saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group, 35 wherein the hydrocarbyl group may be straight-chained or branched, or be or include a single cyclic group, wherein the hydrocarbyl group may optionally be substituted with one or more halo and / or -NO2 groups, wherein the hydrocarbyl group may optionally include one or more heteroatoms each independently selected from N, O - 11 - and S in its carbon skeleton, and wherein any -S- moiety in the hydrocarbyl group may optionally be substituted with one or two groups each independently selected from oxo (=O) and =NH to form a -SO-, -SO2-, -S(=NH)- or -SO(=NH)- moiety. 5 The bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1may be a fused, spiro or bridged bicyclic or tricyclic group, or in the case of a tricyclic group any combination thereof. Typically, the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1is a fused or spiro bicyclic or a fused or spiro tricyclic group, or a fused and spiro tricyclic group. More typically, the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1is a fused bicyclic or a fused tricyclic group. 10 Typically, the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1is a bicyclic group. For example, the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1may be a fused, spiro or bridged bicyclic group. Typically, the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1is a fused or spiro bicyclic group. 15 Where the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1is a bicyclic group, typically the bicyclic group is a 6- to 13-membered bicyclic group. More typically, the bicyclic group is a 7- to 12-membered bicyclic group. Typically, the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1is a heterocyclic group. 20 Typically, the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1is saturated.

More typically, the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1contains at least one ring nitrogen atom that is not directly attached to the remainder of the molecule. 30 Where the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1is substituted, typically it is substituted with one or more groups each independently selected from a halo, oxo (=O), -OH, -SH, -NH2, -SO2H, -SO3H, -SO2NH2, -NO2, or a C1-C8 saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group, wherein the hydrocarbyl group may be straight-chained or branched, or be or 35 include a single cyclic group, wherein the hydrocarbyl group may optionally be substituted with one or more halo and / or -NO2 groups, wherein the hydrocarbyl group may optionally include one, two or three heteroatoms each independently selected from N, O and S in its carbon skeleton, and wherein any -S- moiety in the hydrocarbyl - 12 - group may optionally be substituted with one or two groups each independently selected from oxo (=O) and =NH to form a -SO-, -SO2-, -S(=NH)- or -SO(=NH)- moiety. More typically, where the bicyclic or tricyclic group of R1is substituted, it is substituted with one or more fluoro groups and / or one or two oxo (=O) groups, 5 and / or one or two groups R11, wherein each R11is independently selected from -OH, -NH2, or a C1-C6 saturated hydrocarbyl group, wherein the saturated hydrocarbyl group may be straight-chained or branched, or be or include a single cyclic group, wherein the saturated hydrocarbyl group may optionally be substituted with one or more fluoro groups and / or a single oxo (=O) group, and wherein the saturated 10 hydrocarbyl group may optionally include one or two heteroatoms each independently selected from N and O in its carbon skeleton.
