Description

A method for preparing a phthalazinone PRMT5 inhibitor and its intermediates Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a pharmaceutical compound, specifically a method for preparing a phthalazinone PRMT5 inhibitor and its intermediates, belonging to the field of medicinal chemistry technology. Background Technology

[0002] Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) catalyze protein arginine methylation, an important post-translational modification that uses S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl donor to methylate the nitrogen atom of the protein arginine side chain. Based on the arginine methylation state, the nine identified human PRMTs (PRMT1 and PRMT9) are further subdivided into types I, II, and III. Type I PRMTs catalyze the formation of monomethylarginine (MMA) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (aDMA), including PRMT1, PRMT2, PRMT3, PRMT4, PRMT6, and PRMT8; type II PRMTs catalyze the formation of MMA and symmetric dimethylarginine (sDMA), including PRMT5 and PRMT9; and type III PRMTs catalyze the formation of MMA, including PRMT7.

[0003] In MTAP-deficient cells, methylthioadenosine (MTA) accumulates excessively, forming the PRMT5-MTA complex with PRMT5. This partially inhibits PRMT5 enzyme activity, leading to increased cell proliferation sensitivity to PRMT5 deficiency or loss of activity. Therefore, MTAP deficiency reduces PRMT5 methylation activity, making cells selectively dependent on PRMT5 activity. In MTAP-deficient cancers, the synergistic inhibition of PRMT5 activity by MTA could provide therapeutic benefits for various cancers.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop new MTA-synergistic PRMT5 inhibitors that can inhibit PRMT5 activity in the presence of elevated MTA concentrations, especially in MTAP-deficient cells.

[0005] WO2024008176A1 discloses a compound (S) belonging to the PRMT5-MTA inhibitors.

[0006] The preparation method of the compound of formula (I) described in the patent has the following disadvantages: many reaction conditions are not conducive to production scale-up, the intermediates have poor stability, multiple steps require column purification, purification is difficult, the final product requires SFC resolution, and the overall yield is low; it is not only costly but also difficult to achieve large-scale production.
