COMPOUNDS AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS THEREOF FOR THE TREATMENT OF PROLIFERATIVE DISEASESFIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to compounds, methods to produce the compounds of the invention, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the invention, uses and methods for the prophylaxis and / or treatment of proliferative diseases by administering the compounds of the invention. In particular, the compounds of the invention may target p53 mutant proteins. More particularly, the compounds of the invention may target the Y220C p53 mutant proteins.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The tumour suppressor protein p53, also known as Tumour protein P53, cellular tumour antigen p53, or transformation-related protein 53 (TRP53) is a 393 amino acid transcription factor that can regulate cell growth in response to cellular stresses including, for example, UV radiation, hypoxia, oncogene activation, and DNA damage. p53 has various mechanisms for inhibiting the progression of cancer including, for example, initiation of apoptosis, maintenance of genomic stability, cell cycle arrest, induction of senescence, and inhibition of angiogenesis (Wei et al. 2006).

[0003] In the absence of stress signals, p53 levels are maintained at low levels via the interaction of p53 with Mdm2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase. In an unstressed cell, Mdm2 can target p53 for degradation by the proteasome. Under stress conditions, the interaction between Mdm2 and p53 is disrupted, and p53 accumulates. The critical event leading to the activation of p53 is phosphorylation of the N- terminal domain of p53 by protein kinases, thereby transducing upstream stress signals. The phosphorylation of p53 leads to a conformational change, which can promote DNA binding by p53 and allow transcription of downstream effectors. The activation of p53 can induce, for example, the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, the extrinsic apoptotic pathway, cell cycle arrest, senescence, and DNA repair (Chen et al. 1996; Haupt et al. 1996).

[0004] Somatic mutation in TP 53 gene is one of the most frequent alterations in human cancer (about 35% of all cancer, TCGA database 2024) and is reported in almost all types of cancer, including carcinomas of the breast, colon, and lung. The presence of certain p53 mutations in several types of human cancer can correlate with less favourable patient prognosis (Robles & Harris 2010).

[0005] P53 y220c mutation is located in the DNA-binding domain of the p53 protein, which is responsible for binding to specific DNA sequences and regulating gene expression. While occurring away from the DNA-binding interface, the Y220C mutation disrupts the structure of the p53 protein, leading to a loss of DNA-binding capacity and therefore a loss in the transcriptional activity of the protein (Joerger et al. 2006).

[0006] The TP53 Y220C mutation has been identified in over 30 different solid tumour types, including breast, colon, lung, liver, prostate, bladder, ovarian, pancreatic, and oesophageal cancer . According tothe AACR GENIE database p53 Y220C is present in about 1% of cases, with the highest prevalence in ovarian, pancreatic, breast and colon cancer.

[0007] Recent studies have shown that small molecules can reactivate the transcriptional activity of mutant p53 proteins (defined as mutant reactivator molecule), including Y220C, by stabilizing the protein and restoring its DNA-binding capacity (Bauer et al. 2020). These molecules have shown promising results in preclinical studies and the most advanced molecule is currently being tested in a clinical trial in monotherapy and in combination with Pembrolizumab (NCT04585750 2020).

[0008] Although several clinical trials are on -going to identify drug targeting p53 mutations, the exact mechanisms of action and efficient strategies to induce cell death specifically in p53 -deleted or - mutated cells by these drugs need to be elucidated (Nishikawa & Iwakuma 2023).

[0009] Thus, there is a need for further small molecules stabilizing mutant p53 proteins, including Y220C, with improved pharmacological profile, for the prophylaxis and / or treatment of cancer and other above- mentioned diseases.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, such as hydrates, and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non -stoichiometric solvates. In certain instances the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the crystalline solid. ‘Solvate’ encompasses bothsolution-phase and isolable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates and methanolates.

[0063] In some embodiments the compound of the invention is in the form of a solvate. In some embodiments the compound of the invention is a solvate of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound according to any of formulae (I) to (Vlllf).

[0064] ‘Subject’ includes humans. The terms ‘human’, ‘patient’ and ‘subject’ are used interchangeably herein.

[0065] ‘ Effective amount’ means the amount of a compound of the invention that, when administered to a subject for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease. The “effective amount” can vary depending on the compound, the disease and its severity, and the age, weight, etc., of the subject to be treated.

[0066] ‘Preventing’ or ‘prevention’ refers to a reduction in risk of acquiring or developing a disease or disorder (z. e. causing at least one of the clinical symptoms of the disease not to develop in a subject that may be exposed to a disease-causing agent, or predisposed to the disease in advance of disease onset.

[0067] The term ‘prophylaxis’ is related to ‘prevention’, and refers to a measure or procedure the purpose of which is to prevent, rather than to treat or cure a disease. Non-limiting examples of prophylactic measures may include the administration of vaccines; the administration of low molecular weight heparin to hospital patients at risk for thrombosis due, for example, to immobilization; and the administration of an anti-malarial agent such as chloroquine, in advance of a visit to a geographical region where malaria is endemic or the risk of contracting malaria is high.

[0068] ‘Treating’ or ‘treatment’ of any disease or disorder refers, in one embodiment, to ameliorating the disease or disorder (z. e. arresting the disease or reducing the manifestation, extent or severity of at least one of the clinical symptoms thereof). In another embodiment ‘treating’ or ‘treatment’ refers to ameliorating at least one physical parameter, which may not be discernible by the subject. In yet another embodiment, ‘treating’ or ‘treatment’ refers to modulating the disease or disorder, either physically, (e.g. stabilization of a discernible symptom), physiologically, (e.g. stabilization of a physical parameter), or both. In a further embodiment, “treating” or “treatment” relates to slowing the progression of the disease.

[0069] As used herein the term ‘proliferative disease(s)’ refers to diseases associated with excessive proliferation of cells and turnover of cellular matrix. In particular, the term refers to conditions such as cancer (e.g. uterine leiomyosarcoma or prostate cancer), myeloproliferative disorders (e.g. polycythaemia vera, essential thrombocytosis and myelofibrosis), leukaemia (e.g. acute myeloid leukaemia, acute and chronic lymphoblastic leukaemia), multiple myeloma, psoriasis, restenosis, scleroderma or fibrosis. In particular, the term refers to cancer, leukaemia, and multiple myeloma.

[0070] As used herein, the term ‘cancer’ refers to a malignant or benign growth of cells in skin or in body organs, for example but without limitation, breast, prostate, lung, kidney, pancreas, stomach or bowel. A cancer tends to infiltrate into adjacent tissue and spread (metastasize) to distant organs, for example to bone, liver, lung or the brain. As used herein the term cancer includes both metastatic tumour celltypes (such as but not limited to, melanoma, lymphoma, leukaemia, fibrosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and mastocytoma) and types of tissue carcinoma (such as but not limited to, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, renal cancer, gastric cancer, glioblastoma, primary liver cancer, ovarian cancer, and uterine leiomyosarcoma).

In particular the term leukaemia refers to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and chronic lymphoblastic leukaemia (CLL).

[0072] ‘Compound(s) of the invention’, and equivalent expressions, are meant to embrace compounds of the Formula(e) as herein described, which expression includes the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and the solvates, e.g. hydrates, and the solvates of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts where the context so permits. Similarly, reference to intermediates, whether or not they themselves are claimed, is meant to embrace their salts, and solvates, where the context so permits.

[0073] When ranges are referred to herein, for example but without limitation, Ci-s alkyl, the citation of a range should be considered a representation of each member of said range.

[0074] Other derivatives of the compounds of this invention have activity in both their acid and acid derivative forms, but in the acid sensitive form often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism (Bundgaard 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well know to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a substituted or unsubstituted amine, or acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters, amides and anhydrides derived from acidic groups pendant on the compounds of this invention are particularly useful prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as (acyloxy)alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkylesters . Particular such prodrugs are the Ci-s alkyl, C2-8 alkenyl, Ce-io optionally substituted aryl, and (Ce-io aryl)-(Ci4 alkyl) esters of the compounds of the invention.

[0075] The present disclosure includes all isotopic forms of the compounds of the invention provided herein, whether in a form (i) wherein all atoms of a given atomic number have a mass number (or mixture of mass numbers) which predominates in nature (referred to herein as the “natural isotopic form”) or (ii) wherein one or more atoms are replaced by atoms having the same atomic number, but a mass number different from the mass number of atoms which predominates in nature (referred to herein as an “unnatural variant isotopic form”). It is understood that an atom may naturally exists as a mixture of mass numbers. The term “unnatural variant isotopic form” also includes embodiments in which the proportion of an atom of given atomic number having a mass number found less commonly in nature (referred to herein as an “uncommon isotope”) has been increased relative to that which is naturally occurring e.g. to the level of >20%, >50%, >75%, >90%, >95% or> 99% by number of the atoms of that atomic number (the latter embodiment referred to as an "isotopically enriched variant form"). The term “unnatural variant isotopic form” also includes embodiments in which the proportion of an uncommon isotope has been reduced relative to that which is naturally occurring. Isotopic forms may include radioactive forms (i.e. they incorporate radioisotopes) and non -radioactive forms. Radioactive forms will typically be isotopically enriched variant forms.

[0076] An unnatural variant isotopic form of a compound may thus contain one or more artificial or uncommon isotopes such as deuterium (2H or D), carbon-11 (nC), carbon-13 (13C), carbon-14 (14C), nitrogen-13 (13N), nitrogen-15 (15N), oxygen-15 (15O), oxygen-17 (17O), oxygen-18 (18O), phosphorus- 32 (32P), sulfur-35 (35S), chlorine-36 (36C1), chlorine-37 (37C1), fluorine-18 (18F) iodine-123 (123I),iodine-125 (125I) in one or more atoms or may contain an increased proportion of said isotopes as compared with the proportion that predominates in nature in one or more atoms.

[0077] Unnatural variant isotopic forms comprising radioisotopes may, for example, be used for drug and / or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e.3H, and carbon-14, i.e. 14C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. Unnatural variant isotopic forms which incorporate deuterium i.e.2H or D may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo halflife or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Further, unnatural variant isotopic forms may be prepared which incorporate positron emitting isotopes, such as nC,18F,15O and13N, and would be useful in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy.

[0078] It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed ‘isomers’. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed ‘stereoisomers’.

[0079] Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed ‘diastereomers’ and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed ‘enantiomers’ . When a compound has an asymmetric centre, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric centre and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e. as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a ‘racemic mixture’.

[0080] ‘ Tautomers’ refer to compounds that are interchangeable forms of a particular compound structure, and that vary in the displacement of hydrogen atoms and electrons . Thus, two structures may be in equilibrium through the movement of 7i electrons and an atom (usually H). For example, enols and ketones are tautomers because they are rapidly interconverted by treatment with either acid or base . Another example of tautomerism is the aci- and nitro- forms of phenylnitromethane that are likewise formed by treatment with acid or base.

[0081] Tautomeric forms may be relevant to the attainment of the optimal chemical reactivity and biological activity of a compound of interest.

[0082] The compounds of the invention may possess one or more asymmetric centres; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R)- or (S)- stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof.

[0083] Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and mixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art.THE INVENTION

[0218] The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be administered by a variety of routes including oral, rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intra-articular, intravenous, intramuscular, and intranasal. Depending on the intended route of delivery, a compound of the invention is preferably formulated as either injectable or oral compositions or as salves, as lotions or as patches all for transdermal administration.

[0219] The compositions for oral administration can take the form of bulk liquid solutions or suspensions, or bulk powders. More commonly, however, the compositions are presented in unit dosage forms to facilitate accurate dosing. The term ‘unit dosage forms’ refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient, vehicle or carrier. Typical unit dosage forms include prefilled, premeasured ampules or syringes of the liquid compositions or pills, tablets, capsules or the like in the case of solid compositions. In such compositions, the compound of the invention according to formula I is usually a minor component (from about 0. 1 to about 50% by weight or preferably from about 1 to about 40% by weight) with the remainder being various vehicles or carriers and processing aids helpful for forming the desired dosing form.

[0220] Liquid forms suitable for oral administration may include a suitable aqueous or non-aqueous vehicle with buffers, suspending and dispensing agents, colorants, flavours and the like. Solid forms may include, for example, any of the following ingredients, or compound of the inventions of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatine; an excipient such asstarch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or com starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavouring agent such as peppermint or orange flavouring.

[0221] Injectable compositions are typically based upon injectable sterile saline or phosphate -buffered saline or other injectable carriers known in the art. As before, the active compound of the invention according to Formula I in such compositions is typically a minor component, often being from about 0.05 to 10% by weight with the remainder being the injectable carrier and the like.

[0222] Transdermal compositions are typically formulated as a topical ointment or cream containing the active ingredient(s), generally in an amount ranging from about 0.01 to about 20% by weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 20% by weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, and more preferably from about 0.5 to about 15% by weight. When formulated as an ointment, the active ingredients will typically be combined with either a paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with, for example an oil-in-water cream base. Such transdermal formulations are well-known in the art and generally include additional ingredients to enhance the dermal penetration or stability of the active ingredients or the formulation. All such known transdermal formulations and ingredients are included within the scope of this invention.

[0223] A compound of the invention can also be administered by a transdermal device. Accordingly, transdermal administration can be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir or porous membrane type, or of a solid matrix variety.

In particular, the term refers to neoplastic diseases of the blood and blood forming organs. More particularly, the term refers to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL).

[0242] In additional method of treatment aspects, this invention provides methods of prophylaxis and / or treatment of a mammal afflicted with leukemia, which methods comprise the administration of an effective amount of a compound of the invention or one or more of the pharmaceutical compositions herein described for the treatment or prophylaxis of said condition. In particular, the term refers to neoplastic diseases of the blood and blood forming organs. More particularly, the term refers to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL).

[0243] Injection dose levels range from about 0.1 mg / kg / h to at least 10 mg / kg / h, all for from about 1 to about 120 h and especially 24 to 96 h. A preloading bolus of from about 0.1 mg / kg to about 10 mg / kg or more may also be administered to achieve adequate steady state levels. The maximum total dose is not expected to exceed about 1 g / day for a 40 to 80 kg human patient.

[0244] Lor the prophylaxis and / or treatment of long-term conditions, such as degenerative conditions, the regimen for treatment usually stretches over many months or years so oral dosing is preferred for patientconvenience and tolerance. With oral dosing, one to four (14) regular doses daily, especially one to three (1-3) regular doses daily, typically one to two (1-2) regular doses daily, and most typically one (1) regular dose daily are representative regimens. Alternatively for long lasting effect drugs, with oral dosing, once every other week, once weekly, and once a day are representative regimens. In particular, dosage regimen can be every 1-14 days, more particularly 1-10 days, even more particularly 1-7 days, and most particularly 1-3 days.

[0245] Using these dosing patterns, each dose provides from about 1 to about 1000 mg of a compound of the invention, with particular doses each providing from about 10 to about 500 mg and especially about 30 to about 250 mg.

[0246] Transdermal doses are generally selected to provide similar or lower blood levels than are achieved using injection doses.

[0247] When used to prevent the onset of a condition, a compound of the invention will be administered to a patient at risk for developing the condition, typically on the advice and under the supervision of a physician, at the dosage levels described above. Patients at risk for developing a particular condition generally include those that have a family history of the condition, or those who have been identified by genetic testing or screening to be particularly susceptible to developing the condition.

[0248] A compound of the invention can be administered as the sole active agent or it can be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, including other compound of the inventions that demonstrate the same or a similar therapeutic activity and that are determined to be safe and efficacious for such combined administration. In a specific embodiment, co -administration of two (or more) agents allows for significantly lower doses of each to be used, thereby reducing the side effects seen.

[0249] In one embodiment, a compound of the invention or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention is administered as a medicament. In a specific embodiment, said pharmaceutical composition additionally comprises a further active ingredient.

[0250] In one embodiment, a compound of the invention is co -administered with another therapeutic agent for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of proliferative disorders, particular agents include but are not limited to: methotrexate, leucovorin, adriamycin, prednisone, bleomycin, cyclophosphamide, 5- fluorouracil, paclitaxel, docetaxel, vincristine, vinblastine, vinorelbine, doxorubicin, tamoxifen, toremifene, megestrol acetate, anastrozole, goserelin, anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (e.g. Herceptin®), capecitabine, raloxifene hydrochloride, EGFR inhibitors (e.g. Iressa®, Tarceva®, Erbitux®), VEGF inhibitors (e.g. Avastin®), proteasome inhibitors (e.g. Velcade®), Glivec® and hsp90 inhibitors (e.g. 17-AAG). Additionally, the compound of the invention according to Formula I may be administered in combination with other therapies including, but not limited to, radiotherapy or surgery. In a specific embodiment the proliferative disorder is selected from cancer, myeloproliferative disease or leukaemia.

[0251] By co-administration is included any means of delivering two or more therapeutic agents to the patient as part of the same treatment regime, as will be apparent to the skilled person. Whilst the two or more agents may be administered simultaneously in a single formulation, i.e. as a singlepharmaceutical composition, this is not essential. The agents may be administered in different formulations and at different times.CHEMICAL SYNTHETIC PROCEDURESGeneral

[0252] The compound of the invention can be prepared from readily available starting materials using the following general methods and procedures. It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred process conditions (i.e. reaction temperatures, times, mole ratios of reactants, solvents, pressures, etc.) are given, other process conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvent used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art by routine optimization procedures.

[0253] Additionally, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, conventional protecting groups may be necessary to prevent certain functional groups from undergoing undesired reactions. The choice of a suitable protecting group for a particular functional group as well as suitable conditions for protection and deprotection are well known in the art (Wuts & Greene 2006).

[0254] The following methods are presented with details as to the preparation of a compound of the invention as defined hereinabove and the comparative examples. A compound of the invention may be prepared from known or commercially available starting materials and reagents by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis.

[0255] All reagents are of commercial grade and are used as received without further purification, unless otherwise stated. Commercially available anhydrous solvents are used for reactions conducted under inert atmosphere. Reagent grade solvents are used in all other cases, unless otherwise specified. Column chromatography is performed on silica gel 60 (35-70 pm) or with Biotage® SNAP KP-NH, Biotage® SNAP Ultra, or Interchim® PuriFlash® Si HC flash chromatography cartridges. Thin layer chromatography is carried out using pre-coated silica gel F-254 plates (thickness 0.25 mm). Biotage® ISOLUTE® phase separators (e.g., Cat# 120-1907-E) are used for aqueous phase separation. ’H NMR spectra are recorded on a Bruker DPX 400 NMR spectrometer (400 MHz), a Bruker Avance 300 NMR spectrometer (300 MHz), or a Bruker Avance III HD NMR spectrometer (400 MHz). Chemical shifts (5) for ’H NMR spectra are reported in parts per million (ppm) relative to tetramethylsilane (5 0.00) or the appropriate residual solvent peak, e.g. CHCL (5 7.27), as internal reference. Multiplicities are given as singlet (s), doublet (d), triplet (t), quartet (q), quintet (quin), multiplet (m) and broad (br).Analytical methodsTable I.
