Abstract
Description
Title of Invention: STING AGONISTS AND ANTIBODY DRUG CONJUGATESTHEREOFFIEED OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a series of compounds which are agonist of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING), or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer, prodrug, solvate, tautomer or deuterated analog thereof and a process for the preparation of the same. The present disclosure also relates to antibody -drug conjugate (ADCs) comprising the STING modulators as payload, covalently linked to an antibody through a linker. The present disclosure further relates to the use of said STING modulators and their corresponding ADCs in the treatment of various diseases mediated by STING.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The innate immune system is the first line of defence in mammal against infection from foreign microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, parasites and other infectious threats, but it also responds to certain danger signals associated with cellular or tissue damage. The response is initiated by activation of Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) that can detect different forms of foreign antigens, i.e. nucleic acids, peptides, carbohydrates, and ligands from the pathogens as well as damage associated molecular patterns (Takeuchi O. et al, Cell, 2010: 140, 805-820). Activation of PRRs leads to up-regulation of genes involved in the inflammatory response including type 1 interferons, pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and anti-microbial peptides which suppress pathogen replication and facilitate adaptive immunity (Palm and Medzhitov, Immunol Rev (2009) 227:221-233; Takeuchi and Akira, Immunol Rev (2009) 227:75-86; Beutler, Blood (2009) 113: 1399-1407). A growing number of these receptors have been identified including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), C-type lectin receptors, retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors and NOD-like receptors (NLRs) and also double stranded DNA sensors.
[0003] STING (also known as MIT A, MPYS, ERIS, and TMEM173), is one of such PRRs in the innate immune response, associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and that could detect cytosolic nucleic acids (Ishikawa and Barber, Nature (2008) 455:674-678). STING may form symmetrical dimers combined with its ligands in V- shaped conformation, while not completely covering the bound ligands. Direct bindingof STING to its ligands induces a conformational change of the complex resulting in a downstream signalling cascade involving TBK1 activation, IRF-3 phosphorylation, and production of type I IFNs and other proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF, IL-6 and IFNs (Ishikawa and Barber, Nature (2008) 455:674-678).
[0004] Compounds that bind to STING and act as agonist have been shown to induce type 1 interferons and other cytokines on incubation with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Compounds which induce human interferons may be useful in the treatment of various disorders, for example the treatment of allergic diseases and other inflammatory conditions for example allergic rhinitis and asthma, the treatment of infectious diseases, neurodegenerative disease, pre-cancerous syndromes and cancer, and may also be useful as immunogenic composition or vaccine adjuvants. Compounds that bind to STING may act as antagonists and could be useful in the treatment, for example of autoimmune diseases. It is envisaged that targeting STING with activation or inhibiting agents may be a promising approach for treating diseases and conditions in which modulation for the type 1 IFN pathway is beneficial, including inflammatory, allergic and autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, cancer, pre-cancerous syndromes and as immunogenic composition or vaccine adjuvants.
[0005] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are comprised of a drug like small molecule, covalently linked to an antibody. The antibody represents a targeting mechanism tuned to a specific site of action. Upon reaching the site, the ADC is designed to release a small molecule, the drug, allowing it to perform its designed function in a targeted manner, as opposed to diffusing systemically through the entire body of the subject. This targeted approach allows for treatment with drugs that would otherwise require doses so high as to be toxic when administered systemically and minimizes potential for on-target, off-tumor toxicity.
[0006] The ADCs of this disclosure modulate the activity of STING, and accordingly, may provide a beneficial therapeutic impact in treatment of diseases, disorders and / or conditions wherein modulation of STING is beneficial. Such examples of disease, disorder and / or conditions includes, but not limited to, inflammation, allergic and autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, cancer, pre-cancerous syndromes, and as vaccine adjuvants.

[0027] DEFINITIONS
[0028] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” as used herein includes acid addition salts formed with either organic or inorganic acids. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but not limited to, acid addition salts which may be salts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, or of organic acids such as, for example, acetic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, methane sulfonic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, and amino acids such as glutamic acid or aspartic acid. The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts also include salts formed with the addition of one or more equivalents of acids, for example, monohydrochloride, dihydrochloride salts.
[0029] Compounds and salts described in this specification may exist in solvated forms and unsolvated forms. For example, a solvated form may be a hydrated form, such as a hemi-hydrate, a mono-hydrate, a di-hydrate, a tri-hydrate or an alternative quantity thereof.
[0030] A "Tautomer" refers to a compound that undergoes rapid proton shifts from one atom of the compound to another atom of the compound. Some of the compounds described herein may exist as tautomers with different points of attachment of hydrogen. The individual tautomers as well as mixture thereof are encompassed with compounds of Formula I. Compounds and salts described in this specification may exist as a mixture of tautomers.

Various concentrations of ADCs of STINGag (0 -500 nM of equivalent payload on ADCs) were then added to each well and the plate was incubated for 20 to 60 min at 37 °C. PBMCs isolated from healthy donors were then added to each well in PBMC: cancer cell line ratio of 8 : 1 and incubated for 4-7 days. Each well was washed thrice with PBS (IX) to remove the non-adherent PBMCs and the viability of cancer cell line was measured using viability reagents (Prestoblue from Thermo Fisher Scientific or CellTiter-Glo from Promega as per manufacturer’s instruction). ECso values were derived from dose-response curves generated by plotting the concentration of equivalent payload in ADCs against thepercent viability of cancer cell lines, relative to untreated controls (Table 5).
