6-MEMBERED CORE COMPOUNDS AS MODULATORS OF WERNER SYNDROME RECQ DNA HELICASE AND USES THEREOF CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 666,083, filed June 28, 2024. FIELD
[0002] Provided herein are compounds having activity as inhibitors of Werner Syndrome RecQ DNA helicase (WRN). Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and methods of using such compounds and compositions in treating certain diseases such as cancer, including cancer characterized as microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) such as, but not limited to, colorectal, endometrial, gastric, and ovarian cancer. Also provided are methods of making such compounds and intermediates thereof. BACKGROUND
[0003] Loss of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) occurs in 10–30% of colorectal, endometrial, gastric, ovarian, and other cancer types. MMR deficient cancers (MMRd) have a high mutational burden and frequent insertion and / or deletion events in repetitive DNA tracts, which is a phenotype known as high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). Werner syndrome protein (WRN) belongs to the RecQ DNA helicase family and is a 3’ to 5’ DNA-unwinding, DNA-dependent ATPase. WRN has been identified as a synthetic lethal target for, e.g., dMMR / MSI-H cancers. WRN depletion causes DNA double-strand breaks in MSI-H cells, leading to cell cycle arrest and / or apoptosis.
[0004] Mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd) tumors with high levels of microsatellite instability (MSI-H) generally respond well to immunotherapy but are relatively less responsive to conventional chemotherapy. In some cases, the standard of care for MMRd / MSI-H cancers is therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Nevertheless, between 30-50% of patients with MMRd / MSI-H advanced or metastatic tumors do not exhibit a durable response to immune checkpoint inhibitors.SUMMARY
[0005] While there have been advances in cancer treatments, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, there is a continued unmet need for new treatments and therapies for the treatment of cancer, and in particular cancers characterized as mismatch-repair deficient (MMRd) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), including among them cancers of colorectal, endometrial, gastric and ovarian origin.

When a heterocycloalkyl is a ring system, two or more rings may be joined together in a fused-, bridged-, or spiro-connected fashion. No ring in a heterocycloalkyl ring or ring system contains a double bond or is aromatic. For example, a heterocycloalkyl group having 5 total atoms and 2 heteroatoms independently selected from N, O, and S, refers to a ring having 3 carbon atoms and 2 heteroatoms, wherein each heteroatom of the ring independently is N, O, or S. Where a range is indicated, all members of that range and all subgroups within that range are envisioned. For example, a heterocycloalkyl group having 5-7 total ring atoms and 1-3 heteroatoms independentlyselected from N, O, and S includes rings having 5, 6, or 7 total atoms, or any combination of the foregoing, as well as all subgroups in the indicated range (e.g., 5-6 or 6-7 total ring atoms, or any combination of the foregoing), wherein 1, 2, or 3 of the atoms in the ring are heteroatoms and each heteroatom independently is selected from N, O, and S. Thus, a heterocycloalkyl having 5-7 total ring atoms and 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from N, O, and S encompasses rings containing, for example, 4 carbon atoms and 1 heteroatom, 3 carbon atoms and 2 heteroatoms, 2 carbon atoms and 3 heteroatoms, 5 carbon atoms and 1 heteroatom, 4 carbon atoms and 2 heteroatoms, 3 carbon atoms and 3 heteroatoms, 6 carbon atoms and 1 heteroatom, 5 carbon atoms and 2 heteroatoms, and 4 carbon atoms and 3 heteroatoms, wherein each heteroatom of the foregoing is independently selected from N, O, and S.

In a polycyclic ring system, the one or more heteroatoms may be located in any ring within the system, including in a ring lacking a double bond. When a heterocycloalkyl is a ring system, two or more rings may be joined together in a fused-, bridged-, or spiro-connected fashion, and any ring in the ring system can contain a double bond.

[0104] The compounds of the present disclosure may contain, for example, double bonds, one or more asymmetric carbon atoms, and bonds with a hindered rotation, and therefore, may exist as stereoisomers, such as double-bond isomers (i.e., geometric isomers (E / Z)), enantiomers, diastereomers, and atropoisomers. Accordingly, the scope of the present disclosure is to be understood to encompass all possible stereoisomers of the illustrated compounds, including the stereoisomerically pure form (for example, geometrically pure, enantiomerically pure, diastereomerically pure, and atropoisomerically pure) and stereoisomeric mixtures (for example, mixtures of geometric isomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, and atropoisomers, or mixture of any of the foregoing) of any chemical structures disclosed herein (in whole or in part), unless the stereochemistry is specifically identified.
[0105] If the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is not indicated with, for example, bold or dashed lines, the structure or portion of the structure is to be interpreted as encompassing all stereoisomers of the structure. If the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is indicated with, for example, bold or dashed lines, the structure or portion of the structure is to be interpreted as encompassing only the stereoisomer indicated, unless otherwise noted. For example,represents. Similarly, for example, the chemical name (4R)-4-methoxy-5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H- isoindole represents (4R,5R)-4-methoxy-5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindole and (4R,5S)-4-methoxy-5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindole. A bond drawn with a wavy line may be used to indicate that both stereoisomers are encompassed. This is not to be confused with a wavy line drawn perpendicular to a bond which indicates the point of attachment of a group to the rest of the molecule.
[0106] The term “stereoisomer” or “stereoisomerically pure” compound refers to one stereoisomer (for example, geometric isomer, enantiomer, diastereomer and atropoisomer) of a compound that is substantially free of other stereoisomers of that compound. For example, a stereoisomerically pure compound having one chiral center will be substantially free of the mirror image enantiomer of the compound and a stereoisomerically pure compound having two chiral centers will be substantially free of the other enantiomer and diastereomers of the compound. A typical stereoisomerically pure compound comprises greater than about 80% byweight of one stereoisomer of the compound and equal or less than about 20% by weight of other stereoisomers of the compound, greater than about 90% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and equal or less than about 10% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, greater than about 95% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and equal or less than about 5% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, or greater than about 97% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and equal or less than about 3% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound.
[0107] This disclosure also encompasses the pharmaceutical compositions comprising stereoisomerically pure forms and the use of stereoisomerically pure forms of any compounds disclosed herein. Further, this disclosure also encompasses pharmaceutical compositions comprising mixtures of stereoisomers of any compounds disclosed herein and the use of said pharmaceutical compositions or mixtures of stereoisomers. These stereoisomers or mixtures thereof may be synthesized in accordance with methods well known in the art and methods disclosed herein. Mixtures of stereoisomers may be resolved using standard techniques, such as chiral columns or chiral resolving agents. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (WileyInterscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725; Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGrawHill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions, page 268 (Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN, 1972). TAUTOMERS
[0108] As known by those skilled in the art, certain compounds disclosed herein may exist in one or more tautomeric forms. Because one chemical structure may only be used to represent one tautomeric form, it will be understood that for convenience, referral to a compound of a given structural formula includes other tautomers of said structural formula. For example, represents Similarly, for example, thechemical name (4R,5R)-4-methoxy-5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indazole represents (4R,5R)-4-methoxy-5-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indazole and (4R,5R)-4-methoxy-5- methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-indazole. Accordingly, the scope of the present disclosure is to be understood to encompass all tautomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein.ISOTOPICALLY-LABELED COMPOUNDS
[0109] In some cases, the scope of the present disclosure includes pharmaceutically acceptable isotopically-labelled compounds of the compounds disclosed herein, wherein one or more atoms are replaced by atoms having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds disclosed herein include isotopes of hydrogen, such as2H and3H, carbon, such as11C,13C and14C, chlorine, such as36Cl, fluorine, such as18F, iodine, such as123I and125I, nitrogen, such as13N and15N, oxygen, such as15O,17O and18O, phosphorus, such as32P, and sulfur, such as35S. Certain isotopically-labelled compounds of the compounds disclosed herein, such as those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and / or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium (3H) and carbon-14 (14C) are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. Substitution with isotopes such as deuterium (2H or D) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be advantageous in some circumstances. As such, the term “deuterated” refers to the substitution of one or more hydrogen atoms with one or more deuterium atoms on a particular structure or functional group. Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as11C,18F,15O and13N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies, for example, for examining target occupancy. Isotopically- labelled compounds of the compounds disclosed herein can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the accompanying GENERAL SYNTHETIC PROCEDURES and EXAMPLES sections using an appropriate isotopically-labelled reagent in place of the non-labelled reagent previously employed.

SECTION 3: Biochemical and Cellular Assays
[0655] Provided in this section is the biological evaluation of the specific examples provided herein. Example A. Helicase Assay for WRN Inhibition
[0656] Effects of compounds on WRN helicase activity were assessed with the helicase assay for WRN unwinding assay. The helicase DNA unwinding assay was adapted from a published protocol (see Sommers, J. A. et al. A high-throughput screen to identify novel small molecule inhibitors of the Werner Syndrome Helicase-Nuclease (WRN). PLoS One 14, e0210525 (2019)).
[0657] Human WRN construct (Helicase Core w / HRDC (hWRN517–1239)) was preincubated with compound in DMSO stock to final concentrations ranging from 0-200 uM (twofold serial dilutions, final DMSO at 2%) in 2 µL of assay buffer containing 30 mM Tris- HCl pH 7.5, 2 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NaCl, 0.1% Pluronic F-127, 0.02% bovine serum albumin (BSA). After 2 hours incubation at room temperature, unwinding reaction was initiated by adding 2 µL assay buffer containing ATP and pre-annealed dsDNA substrate. OLIGO A: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTCGTACCCGATGTGTTCGTTC- BHQ2 OLIGO B: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTGCATGGGCTACACAAGCAAG- Cy5
[0658] In a total of 4 µL reaction, WRN was at a final concentration of 0.5 nM, ATP at 2 mM, and dsDNA at 75 nM. Reaction proceeded for 30 minutes at room temperature and stopped by 2 µL of 30 mM EDTA in assay buffer prior to fluorescence measurement at ex. / em.620 / 680 nm on EnVision (Revvity)). Activity was normalized to no-enzyme negative controls (0%) and to no-compound (DMSO only) positive controls and further analyzed for IC50 determination. Example B. Cell Viability Assay
[0659] The effects of compound on cellular viability were determined using the CellTiter-Glo® 2.0 Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega, Madison, WI). The CellTiter-Glo® 2.0 Luminescent Cell Viability Assay is a homogenous method ofdetermining the number of viable cells in culture based on quanitation of the ATP present, an indicator of metabollically active cells. The assay system contains a propriatary thermostable luciferase and a beetle luciferin substrate, in a cell lysis buffer that also contains inhibitors of endogenous enzymes that are released during cell lysis (e.g, ATPases). Upon cell lysis, the luciferin substrate is mono-oxygenated by the lucioferase in the process of Mg2+, ATP and molecular oxygen, generating a stable “glow-type” luminescent signal that is proprtional to the amount of ATP present.
[0660] The cell line HCT116 (a microsatellite instable-high (MSI-H) cell line isolated from the colon of a male colorectal cancer patient) and SW480 cell line (a microsatellite stable (MSS) cell line isolated from the large intestine of a male Dukes C colorectal cancer patient) were used to determine cell viability after treatment with test compounds.
[0661] Assay ready plates were prepared the day before cell seeding with 200 nL of test compounds at 10 mM concentration diluted 2-fold for 18 points in 384-well black walled clear bottom tissue culture plate (Greiner, Kremsmunster, Austria). HCT116 cells were seeded in columns 3-12 and 14-22 with test compounds at 200 cells per well in RPMI 1640 Medium with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS HI) and 1X Penicillin- Streptomycin- Glutamine (PSG). SW480 cells were seeded in columns 3-12 and 14-22 at 2000 cells per well in RPMI 1640 Medium with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS HI) and 1X Penicillin-Streptomycin-Glutamine (PSG). Both cell lines were seeded in a volume of 40 µL medium per well. Columns 1-2, 13, and 23-24 were filled with 40 µL cell culture medium only. After 72 hours at 37°C in 5% CO2 baseline cell viability was measured by adding 20 µL of CellTiter-Glo® 2.0 reagent to all wells. Cell plates were then gently mixed on a plate shaker for 2 minutes at 500 rpm to lyse cells following a 15 minute room temperature incubation period and then reading the plate on a EnVision (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA) plate reader in luminescence mode. The baseline cell viability was substracted from the luminescence value of each well, and cell viability (% of DMSO) was plotted as a function of log compound concentration. The IC50 was then calculated for each compound with a Rout Fit Model in Genedata Screener (Basel, Switzerland).
[0662] The following data (Table Z) categorizes the IC50of each compound for helicase DNA unwinding activity and for inhibiting enzymatic activity of WRN in the indicated cells (HCT116, SW480) Table Z.
[0663] The results presented in Table Z have been generated with the in vitro assays described above. These assays may be used to test any of the compounds described herein to assess and characterize a compound’s biological activity. In view of the disclosure provided herein, compounds not specifically tested would be expected to have similar results.
