AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current KRAS G12C inhibitors are limited in their ability to effectively target both the inactive GDP-bound and activated GTP-bound forms of KRAS, leading to resistance and inadequate treatment of CNS metastases, particularly in cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which often present with central nervous system (CNS) metastases and result in poor patient outcomes.

Method used

A pyridopyrimidine derivative is developed to bind to and inhibit both the GDP- and GTP-bound forms of KRAS G12C, offering a therapeutic approach for treating and preventing CNS metastases, including brain and spinal metastases, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of the compound, potentially combined with additional anticancer agents.

Benefits of technology

The pyridopyrimidine derivative achieves significant reduction, often exceeding 90%, in CNS metastases, including brain metastases, and alleviates symptoms like headache, seizures, and numbness, while increasing cerebrospinal fluid exposure to enhance treatment efficacy.

Description

PYRIDOPYRIMIDINE DERIVATIVE AS KRAS G12C INHIBITOR FOR THE TREATMENT OF BRAIN METASTASISCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority to and benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 556,346, filed February 21, 2024, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates generally to methods for treating or preventing central nervous system (CNS) metastases with a KRAS inhibitor, and more specifically to treating CNS metastases with a pyridopyrimidine derivative.BACKGROUND

[0003] KRAS is a molecular switch. Under normal physiological conditions, the protein is bound to guanosine diphosphate (GDP) in the “off state.” In response to signaling through receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) such as EGFR, the GDP is exchanged to guanosine triphosphate (GTP) in a process facilitated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) such as SOS. The GTP-bound form of KRAS is in the “on state,” and interacts with proteins such as RAF and PI3K to promote downstream signaling that leads to cell proliferation and survival. KRAS can slowly hydrolyze GTP back to GDP, thus returning to the off-state, in a process facilitated by GAPs (GTPase-activating Proteins).

[0004] KRAS mutations are found in approximately 30% of all human cancers, and are highly prevalent among three of the deadliest forms of cancer: pancreatic (95%), colorectal (45%), and lung (35%). Together, these cancers occur in more than 200,000 patients annually in the US alone. One particular mutation, a glycine to cysteine substitution at position 12 (G12C), occurs in more than 40,000 patients per year. The KRAS G12C mutation impairs hydrolysis of GTP to GDP, thus trapping KRAS in the on-state and promoting cancer cell proliferation.

[0005] The cysteine residue of G12C provides an opportunity to develop targeted covalent drugs for this mutant KRAS. Early clinical trial results for KRAS G12C inhibitors AMG 510 and MRTX849 have shown encouraging results for non- small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the data are less compelling for colorectal cancer (CRC). Moreover, even incases where patients respond to initial treatment, there are signs that the response may be limited in duration and that resistance could arise rapidly.

[0006] Most inhibitors of KRAS mutants bind preferentially to the GDP-bound form of the protein. For example, Amgen KRAS inhibitor AMG 510 and Mirati KRAS inhibitor MRTX849 react with the GDP-bound form of KRAS G12C at least 1000-fold more rapidly than with the GTP-bound form of the protein. One form of resistance that has been observed is for cancer cells to increase signaling through RTKs, thus increasing the amount of GTP- bound KRAS, which is less affected by current inhibitors. Thus, creating a molecule that could bind to and inhibit both the GDP- and GTP-bound forms of KRAS could have substantial utility.

[0007] What is needed is a compound useful in the treatment of cancer, such as cancers characterized by KRAS G12C. What is further needed is a compound useful in the treatment of cancers characterized by KRAS G12C, wherein the compounds bind to and inhibit both the inactive GDP- and activated GTP-bound forms of KRAS. What is further needed is a compound useful in the treatment of cancers characterized by KRAS G12C, wherein the compound has improved inhibition of the GTP-bound form of KRAS G12C.

[0008] At diagnosis, a significant portion of patients with cancers such as KRAS G12C non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will present with central nervous system (CNS) metastases. Patients with KRAS-mutated cancer such as KRAS-mutated NSCLC with CNS metastases have worse outcomes, showing low overall survival period. What is needed is a compound useful in the treatment of CNS metastases. What is further needed is a compound useful for the treatment of CNS metastases from cancers characterized by KRAS G12C. What is further needed is a compound useful in the treatment of CNS metastases from cancers characterized by KRAS G12C, wherein the compound binds to and inhibits both the inactive GDP- and activated GTP-bound forms of KRAS. What is further needed is a compound useful in the treatment of CNS metastases from cancers characterized by KRAS G12C, wherein the compound has improved inhibition of the GTP-bound form of KRAS G12C.BRIEF SUMMARY

[0043] The presently disclosed subject matter will be better understood by reference to the following Examples, which are provided as exemplary of the invention, and not by way of limitation.Example 1: Intracranial NCI-H1373-Luc NSCLC CDX (KRAS G12C; TP53)

[0044] NCI-H1373-Luc tumor cells which carry the firefly luciferase gene were inoculated intracranially with 0.3 x 106tumor cells in 3 pL PBS mixed with Matrigel (80:20) at the right frontal lobe of the mice using stereotaxic intracranial injection technique.

[0045] Animal health was monitored daily after intracranial inoculation. Bioluminescence intensity from the intracranially implanted NCI-H1373-luc cells measured by Xenogen machine (PerkinElmer IVIS Lumina III) is an indicator of the BM tumor burden. When bioluminescence signals reached approximately 4.513E+08 photons / second on Day 13 after inoculation, tumor-bearing mice were randomized into vehicle or treatment group (n = 5 mice per group). The randomization date was denoted as treatment Day 0. Treatment started on the day after randomization. The treatment start day was denoted as treatment Day 1.

[0046] At each imaging time point of Days 3, 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21, the surgically inoculated mice were weighed and intraperitoneally administered luciferin at a dose of 150 mg / kg. Ten minutes after the luciferin injection, the animals were pre-anesthetized with a mixture of oxygen and isoflurane. When the animals were in a complete anesthetic state, the mice were moved into the imaging chamber for bioluminescence measurements with an IVIS (Lumina III) imaging system, as provided in FIG. 1. Tumor growth curve was plotted with bioluminescence intensity (photons / sec). The bioluminescence was measured and recorded twice per week.

[0047] Summary statistics, including mean and the SEM, are provided for the bioluminescence and relative tumor growth of each group at each time point, as summarized in Table 1 below and in FIG. 2. The treatment with Compound 1 at 100 mg / kg resulted in a significant reduction in bioluminescence signal compared to baseline suggesting robust tumor regression. FIG. 3 compares the bioluminescence on treatment day 21.Table 1.
