Description

An integrin ligand key intermediate and a method of making the same

[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0002] This application is based on and claims priority to CN application No. 202410814083.1, filed on June 21, 2024, and CN application No. 202411244143.7, filed on September 5, 2024, the contents of which are incorporated herein in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application relates to the field of biological medicine, and in particular to an integrin ligand key intermediate and a method of making the same. BACKGROUND

[0004] Integrin alpha-v beta-6 (avb6), which is expressed in various cell types including epithelial cells, is a receptor for the latency associated peptide (LAP) of TGF-b and the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins fibronectin, vitronectin and tenascin. Although barely detectable in normal healthy adult epithelial cells, avb6 integrin is upregulated during wound healing and in different cancers, such as colon, ovarian, endometrial and gastric cancer, and is often associated with poor cancer prognosis. It has been shown that avb6 integrin can promote cell invasion and migration in metastasis and inhibit apoptosis. avb6 integrin can also regulate the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and activate TGF-b1. Increasing evidence, mainly from in vitro studies, suggests that avb6 integrin can promote cancer progression. Therefore, integrin avb6 is attractive as a tumor marker and potential therapeutic target, especially considering its role in the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and activation of TGF-b1.

[0005] In vivo delivery of therapeutically effective compounds, such as pharmaceutical compounds, to desired cells and / or tissues has been a universal challenge for the development of pharmaceutical products. There has been a need for stable and effective targeting ligands that can selectively target cells or tissues that can be used to facilitate the targeted delivery of transported / delivered molecules (e.g., therapeutically active compounds or ingredients) to specific cells or tissues. In fact, there has been a universal need for targeting ligands that can be conjugated to one or more selected transported molecules, such as one or more pharmaceutical products or other payloads, to facilitate the in vivo delivery of the transported molecules to desired cells or tissues. Furthermore, there has been a need for compounds that target integrin ανβ6that are suitable for conjugation to transported molecules to deliver the transported molecules to cells expressing integrin ανβ6in vivo. For particular transported molecules, such as therapeutic oligonucleotide-based compounds (e.g., antisense oligonucleotides or RNAi agents), there has been a need for targeting ligands that can target integrin ανβ6that can be conjugated to the oligonucleotide-based compounds to deliver the therapeutic agents to cells and / or tissues expressing integrin ανβ6and to facilitate the entry of the therapeutic agents into the cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis, pinocytosis, or by other means. SUMMARY

[0006] Based on the above problems in the prior art, the present inventors have conducted research and obtained a new ανβ6integrin ligand (also referred to herein as an ανβ6ligand), i.e., a compound represented by Formula (I) or Formula (II). The ανβ6integrin ligand of the present application is stable in serum and has affinity for and can specifically bind to ανβ6integrin. The ανβ6integrin ligand can be conjugated to transported / delivered molecules to facilitate the delivery of the transported / delivered molecules to desired cells or tissues expressing ανβ6integrin, such as to epithelial cells.

[0007] For the αvβ6 integrin ligand, i.e. the compound shown in formula (I), (S)-3-(4-(4-((14-azido-3,6,9,12-tetraoxatetradecyl)oxy)naphthalen-1-yl)phenyl)-3-(2-(3-((S)-8-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrido[3,2-b][1,4]oxazin-3-yl)propanamido)acetamido)propanoic acid, the compound shown in formula (II), (S)-3-(2-(3-((S)-8-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrido[3,2-b][1,4]oxazin-3-yl)propanamido)acetamido)-3-(4-(4-(2-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)ethoxy)naphthalen-1-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid. A key intermediate for synthesizing the compound of formula (I) or formula (II) is compound 7. The inventors of the present application have previously provided a process for synthesizing the compound shown in formula (I), formula (II) (see the Preparations of the present application), however, the process obtains the chiral compound 7 by resolving the racemic compound 6, which is inefficient.

[0008] In order to improve the efficiency of synthesizing the key intermediate compound 7, the inventors of the present application have designed and optimized the original synthesis process, and further provided two new and different process routes. Both of the two new synthesis processes directly synthesize the target compound 7 from a chiral raw material. Compared with the original synthesis process, the two new synthesis processes can avoid resolving the racemic intermediate compound, improve the yield, and reduce the cost, thereby, can effectively support the cost reduction and large-scale production of the compound of formula (I), formula (II).
