Abstract
Description
Heteroaryl derivative compounds and their uses
[0001] The present invention relates to heteroaryl derivative compounds and their pharmaceutical uses. Specifically, the present invention relates to heteroaryl derivative compounds having AKT inhibitory activity and their pharmaceutical uses.
[0002] The AKT enzyme is a type of serine / threonine protein kinase, also known as protein kinase B (PKB). AKT exists in three subtypes with very similar structures: AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3. AKT is part of the PI3K / AKT / mTOR signaling pathway and regulates fundamental cellular activities such as growth, division, metabolism, transcription, and apoptosis. Dysregulation of AKT signaling is known to be a cause of cancer and metabolic disorders. AKT hyperactivation has been identified in breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancers, and this is known to promote cancer cell survival and proliferation. For this reason, research is underway to develop AKT inhibitors as potential therapeutic agents that disrupt abnormal AKT signaling.
[0003] AKT inhibitors are classified into three main types: ATP-competitive, allosteric, and covalent-allosteric AKT inhibitors (CAAI). ATP-competitive inhibitors compete with ATP to bind to AKT, allosteric inhibitors interact with the Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain to maintain the AKT protein in an inactive form, and covalent-allosteric AKT inhibitors form covalent bonds to exhibit stronger inhibitory activity and can also act selectively.
[0004] The most common mutation in AKT is AKT1 E17K (E17K: mutation of glutamic acid at position 17 to lysine), and it has been reported in 6–8% of breast cancers, 2–6% of colorectal cancers, and 6% of meningiomas.
[0005] This patent proposes a compound that is a covalent-allosteric AKT inhibitor that exhibits potent and selective inhibitory activity by forming a covalent bond with lysine of AKT, specifically AKT1 E17K.
[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a heteroaryl derivative of a novel structure, a stereoisomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[0007] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above heteroaryl derivative compound.
[0008] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical use for the heteroaryl derivative compound, specifically to provide a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment or prevention of AKT-related diseases comprising the heteroaryl derivative compound as an active ingredient.
[0009] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a method for treating or preventing AKT-related diseases using the said compound, or a method for treating or preventing AKT-related diseases comprising the step of administering the said compound.
[0010] In order to achieve the above objective, the inventors completed the present invention by confirming, through their research efforts, that heteroaryl derivative compounds represented by Chemical Formula 1 mentioned below inhibit the proliferation of cells in which AKT and / or AKT1 E17K are overactivated, amplified, or overexpressed.
[0011] The following describes this in detail. All combinations of the various elements disclosed in this invention fall within the scope of this invention. Furthermore, the scope of this invention should not be considered limited by the following detailed description.

[0200] Experimental Example 1. Evaluation of Inhibition of Growth and Proliferation in AKT1-E17K Mutated Ba / F3 Cells
[0201] To evaluate the inhibition of cell proliferation by the compound of the example of the present invention, the following experiment was performed. Ba / F3-AKT1-E17K cells expressing AKT1-E17K protein were seeded into White-96-well flat-bottom plates (Corning #3903) at a concentration of 3,000 cells / well and cultured for 16 hours under conditions of 37°C and 5% CO2. The cells were cultured in RPMI1640 medium (Gibco #11875093) containing 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin / streptomycin. The compound was treated by serially diluting it threefold in 11 concentrations in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to a final concentration of 1.5 nM - 10 μM. As a control group, DMSO was applied at a concentration of 0.5% (v / v), identical to that used for compound treatment. Cells treated with the compounds were cultured at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 72 hours. To verify cell viability, 100 μL of Cell Titer-Glo (Promega #G7573) was added to the culture medium of the cells and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes; subsequently, luminescence values were measured using a microplate reader (SynergyNeo2, Biotek). The degree of cell proliferation inhibitory activity according to the treatment concentration of each compound was calculated based on the luminescence values of the control cells that were not treated with the compounds. The concentration GI at which cell proliferation inhibitory activity reached 50% was used as the reference. 50 (μM) values were calculated using GraphPad Prism 9.3.1 (GraphPad software Inc., San Diego). The results are shown in Table 2 below.
