Acid addition salts of basic compounds are, in some embodiments, prepared by contacting the free base forms with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt according to methods and techniques with which a skilled artisan is familiar.
[0068] "Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt" refers to those salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. These salts are prepared from addition of an inorganic b ase or an organic base to the free acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are, in some embodiments, formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum salts and the like. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins, for example, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, 2-diethylaminoethanol, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, caffeine, procaine, A,A-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, hy drab amine, choline, betaine, ethylenediamine, ethylenedianiline, A-methylglucamine, glucosamine, methylglucamine, theobromine, purines, piperazine, piperidine, N-ethylpiperidine, poly amine resins and the like.

In some embodiments, solvates contain either stoichiometric or non- stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and are formed during the process of making with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Solvates of compounds described herein are conveniently prepared or formed during the processes described herein. The compounds provided herein exist in either unsolvated or solvated forms.WSGR Ref: 69354-705.601
[0070] The term “subject” or “patient” encompasses mammals. Examples of mammals include, but are not limited to, any member of the Mammalian class: humans, non -human primates such as chimpanzees, and other apes and monkey species; farm animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine; domestic animals such as rabbits, dogs, and cats; laboratory animals including rodents, such as rats, mice and guinea pigs, and the like. In one aspect, the mammal is a human.
[0071] As used herein, “treatment” or “treating,” or “palliating” or “ameliorating” are used interchangeably. These terms refer to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including but not limited to therapeutic benefit and / or a prophylactic benefit. By “therapeutic benefit” is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient is still afflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, the compositions are, in some embodiments, administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease has not been made.PI3Ka Protein and Function
[0072] Phosphoinositide kinases (PIKs) are lipid kinases that phosphorylate the inositol ring of phosphoinositides. Depending on the phosphorylation site, PIKs are categorized into three families: phosphoinositide 3 -kinases (PI3Ks), phosphoinositide 4-kinases (PIP4Ks) and phosphoinositide 5 -kinases (PIP5Ks). PI3Ks are further grouped into classes I, II or III, depending on their structure, regulation, and substrate selectivity. Class I PI3Ks are composed of two subgroups, IA and IB. The class IAPI3K subgroup consists of three catalytic subunits: pl 10a, pl 10P, and pl 105 that form heterodimers with one of five regulatory domains: p85y, p85p, p85a, p55a, and p50a.
[0073] Phosphoinositide 3 -kinase alpha (PI3Ka) is a heterodimer composed of a p85 regulatory subunit and a pl 10a catalytic subunit. In response to growth factor stimulation and the subsequent activation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), PI3Ka is recruited to the membrane via interaction of the p85 subunit with phosphotyrosine -containing motifs on the activated receptor. The pl 10a catalytic subunit of PI3Ka then catalyzes the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 recruits multiple effectors, including kinases and regulators of G protein signaling which play critical roles in regulating growth, survival, proliferation, and metabolism.WSGR Ref: 69354-705.601
[0074] PI3K pathway hyperactivation is one of the most frequent events in human cancers, commonly resulting from PIK3CA mutations, RTK mutation or amplification, or loss of the PI3K antagonist PTEN. The PIK3CA and PIK3R1 genes encoding the pl 10a and p85a subunits of PI3Ka are both often mutated in human cancers. Oncogenic transformation by p85a mutations is driven by the activation of pl 10a (encoded by PIK3CA). The initial discovery of PIK3CA mutations in colon cancers (found in about 32% of 234 studied colon tumors) led to the examination of PIK3CA mutations in additional cancer types (Samuels et al. High frequency of mutations of the PIK3CA gene in human cancers. Science. 2004; 304:554). Subsequent studies showed that large numbers of mutations in PIK3CA were present in breast cancer, and it is now appreciated that mutations of PIK3CA are found in about 25-40% of all human breast cancers. The discovery of PIK3CA mutations in breast cancer provided a molecular explanation for the frequent PI3K pathway activation observed in breast cancer (see Page et al. Elevated phosphorylation of AKT and Stat3 in prostate, breast, and cervical cancer cells. Int J Oncol. 2000; 17:23-28). A high frequency of mutations of PIK3CA have also been reported in certain types of endometrial cancer (about 36%), brain tumors (about 27%), skin cancer (about 27%), ovarian cancer (about 12%), gastric cancer (about 25%), and head and neck cancer (about 21%), among others (Samuels et al. Oncogenic mutations of PIK3CA in human cancers. Current topics in microbiology and immunology 2010; 347:21 -41). The prevalence of these mutations in tumorigenesis suggests that PIK3CA is one of the most commonly mutated oncogenes in human cancers.
[0075] The majority of mutations found in PIK3CA lead to amino acid substitutions, although more complex insertions and deletions can also occur. For pl 10a (encoded by PIK3CA) the most frequent mutations are located at two hot spots located at the helical-nSH2 interface (E542K, E545K) and the C-terminus of the kinase domain (Hl 047R). For example, a study of PIK3CA mutations in breast cancer revealed that the most frequent mutations identified were H1047R (35%), E545K (17%), and E542K (11%), comprising 63% of all PIK3CA mutations detected (Martinez-Saez et al. Frequency and spectrum oiPIK3CA somatic mutations in breast cancer. Breast Cancer Res. 2020; 22:45). The high frequency of PIK3CA mutations have important clinical implications, and targeting specific PI3Ka mutants (e.g., H1047R, E545K, E542K, etc.) with novel therapeutics could have a substantial impact on eliminating the morbidity and mortality of human cancer.Prior Art Small Molecules Inhibitors of PI3Ka
[0076] The PI3K pathway is an intracellular signaling pathway that has regulatory roles in cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation, and a critical role in tumorigenesis. MultipleWSGR Ref: 69354-705.601 inhibitors targeting PI3K, and its isoforms, have been developed for the treatment of cancer, including buparlisib (BKM120), pictilisib (GDC-0941), PX-866, pilaralisib (SAR245408; XL147), copanlisib (BAY 80-6946), BEZ235, GSK2126458, Gedatolisib (PF-05212384; PKI- 587), Apitolisib (GDC-0980), and PQR309 (Janku, F. Phosphoinositide 3 -kinase (PI3K) pathway inhibitors in solid tumors: From laboratory to patients. Cancer treatment reviews 2017; 59:93-101). Selective inhibitors of specific PI3K isoforms, such as PI3Ka, have also been developed and include alpelisib (BYL719), and MLN 1117. Other compounds suitable as PI3K inhibitors are disclosed in WO2022265993; WO2024097636; W02024077036; WO2023220131; and WO2023018636.
[0077] Despite the initial enthusiasm for and significant investment in the development of PI3K inhibitors for treatment in tumorigenesis, PI3K inhibitors have thus far not yielded comparable clinical activity observed with other approved targeted therapies. One of the clinical obstacles to PI3K inhibitor efficacy include drug-related toxicity. For example, PI3Ka inhibitors are frequently associated with hyperglycemia and rash. Drug resistance is also a hurdle to PI3K inhibitors and can often be attributed to RTK-induced activation of PI3K / AKT / TOR, resulting in AKT-mediated phosphorylation of FOXO proteins which transcriptionally repress the RTKs that activate PI3Ks. Moreover, increased insulin production often occurs upon inhibition of PI3K, thus long-term use of PI3K inhibitors would be expected to induce insulin resistance and potentially type II diabetes.
[0078] In view of the considerable challenges faced by PI3K inhibitors (e.g., toxicity, drug resistance, increased insulin production), there is a serious unmet clinical need for PI3K inhibitors that can not only maintain efficacy against tumors, but also maintain normal cellular homeostasis. PI3K inhibitors that specifically target mutants of pl 10a (e.g., H1047R, E545K, E542K) could spare endogenous pl 10a and downstream effectors, thus maintaining normal homeostasis, limiting toxicity, and permitting higher doses and more complete target inhibition.Novel Compounds Inhibiting PI3Ka

BenzofuranII can be prepared from phenol I through alkylation and cyclization with methyl 2- bromacetate and a base, such as DBU. Reduction of II with a reducing agent, such as LiAlH4, can afford alcohol III, which can be oxidized to aldehyde IV with IBX. Nucleophilic addition to aldehyde IV can afford alcohol V. Alcohol V can be oxidized with IBX to afford ketone VI, that can be reacted with ammonium hydroxide to provide oxime VII. Reduction of oxime VII with a reducing agent, such as zinc / acetic acid, will provide amine VIII. The isomers of amine VIII can be separated via chiral methods to afford amine Intermediate IX.
[0094] Scheme B: Synthesis of amine compounds
[0095] Compounds listed in Table 1 can be synthesized according to Scheme B, where amine Intermediate IX can be reacted with an electrophilic compound X, such as 2 -chloropyridine, in the presence of a base, such as diisopropylethylamine, to give the amine compounds.
[0096] Scheme C: Synthesis of diamine compoundsWSGR Ref: 69354-705.601
[0097] Compounds listed in Table 1 can also be synthesized according to Scheme C, where amine Intermediate IX can be reacted with an electrophilic compound XI, such as 4,6- dichloropyrimidine, in the presence of a base, such as diisopropylethylamine, to give Intermediate XII. Intermediate XII can be further reacted with an amine XIII, such as methylamine, to give diamine compounds.Pharmaceutical Compositions
