WEE1 INHIBITORS AND METHODS FOR TREATING CANCERINCORPORATION BY REFERENCE TO ANY PRIORITY APPLICATIONS

[0001] Any and all applications for which a foreign or domestic priority claim is identified, for example, in the Application Data Sheet or Request as filed with the present application, are hereby incorporated by reference under 37 CFR 1.57, and Rules 4.18 and 20.6, including U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 63 / 556,362, filed February 21, 2024, 63 / 653,067, filed May 29, 2024 and 63 / 660,402, filed June 14, 2024, each of which is incorporated by reference in their entireties.BACKGROUNDField

[0002] The present application relates generally to compounds that are WEE1 inhibitors and / or degraders thereof, and methods of using them to treat conditions characterized by excessive cellular proliferation, such as cancer.Description

[0003] DNA is constantly damaged from the environment. Light, chemicals, stress, and cellular replication lead to single- or double-stranded breakage along DNA’s backbone. Typically, organisms defend against DNA damage by repair proteins that either re- connect, or re-synthesize damaged DNA. The correct functioning of these proteins are essential for life. The incorrect replacement of nucleotides into DNA can cause mutations (and other genetic alterations including but not limited to insertions, deletions, and frameshifts), genetic disease, and loss of protein function. The altogether loss of DNA repair can cause cell death, tumor progression, and cancer.

[0004] Cell cycle checkpoints are important for proper DNA repair, ensuring that cells do not progress with cellular replication until their genomic integrity is restored. WEE1 is a nuclear kinase involved in the G2-M cell-cycle checkpoint arrest for DNA repair before mitotic entry. Normal cells repair damaged DNA during G1 arrest. Cancer cells often have a deficient Gl-S checkpoint and depend on a functional G2-M checkpoint for DNA repair. WEE1 is overexpressed in various cancer types.

[0005] Various inhibitors and / or degraders of WEE1 are known to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., International Patent Application Publication Nos. WO2019 / 173082 and W02020 / 069105. However, there remains an urgent need for inhibitors and / or degraders of WEE1 that are useful for the treatment of conditions characterized by excessive cellular proliferation, such as cancer.SUMMARY

[0012] WEE1 is a tyrosine kinase that is a critical component of the ATR- mediated G2 cell cycle checkpoint control that prevents entry into mitosis in response to cellular DNA damage. ATR phosphorylates and activates CHK1, which in turn activates WEE1, leading to the selective phosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) at Tyrl5, thereby stabilizing the CDKl-cyclin B complex and halting cell-cycle progression. This process confers a survival advantage by allowing tumor cells time to repair damaged DNA prior to entering mitosis. Inhibition of WEE1 abrogates the G2 checkpoint, promoting cancer cells with DNA damage to enter into unscheduled mitosis and undergo cell death via mitotic catastrophe. Therefore, WEE1 inhibition and / or degradation has the potential to sensitize tumors to DNA-damaging agents, such as cisplatin, and to induce tumor cell death.Definitions

[0013] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. All patents, applications, published applications and other publications referenced herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety unless stated otherwise.

Pharmaceutical salts can also be obtained by reacting a compound with a base to form a salt such as an ammonium salt, an alkali metal salt, such as a sodium, a potassium or a lithium salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, such as a calcium or a magnesium salt, a salt of a carbonate, a salt of a bicarbonate, a salt of organic bases such as dicyclohexylamine, N-methyl-D-glucamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine, C1-C7 alkylamine, cyclohexylamine, triethanolamine, ethylenediamine and salts with amino acids such as arginine and lysine. For compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (I’), those skilled in the art understand that when a salt is formed by protonation of a nitrogen-based group (for example, NH2), the nitrogen-based group can be associated with a positive charge (for example, NH2 can become NH3 ) and the positive charge can be balanced by a negatively charged counterion (such as Cl ).

[0056] The terms “WEE1 inhibition”, “WEE1 inhibitor” and similar terms as used herein refer to inhibiting the activity or function of a WEE1 tyrosine kinase, e.g., by degrading WEE1 tyrosine kinase and / or by reducing the activity of WEE1 tyrosine kinase with regard to mediating phosphorylation of CDK1. A WEE1 inhibitor that functions by degrading WEE1 tyrosine kinase may be referred to herein as a WEE1 degrader.

[0057] It is understood that, in any compound described herein having one or more chiral centers, if an absolute stereochemistry is not expressly indicated, then each center may independently be of R-configuration or S-configuration or a mixture thereof. Thus, the compounds provided herein may be enantiomerically pure, enantiomerically enriched, racemic mixture, diastereomerically pure, diastereomerically enriched or a stereoisomeric mixture. In addition, it is understood that, in any compound described herein having one or more double bond(s) generating geometrical isomers that can be defined as E or Z, each double bond may independently be E or Z a mixture thereof. Likewise, it is understood that, in any compound described, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.

[0058] It is to be understood that where compounds disclosed herein have unfilled valencies, then the valencies are to be filled with hydrogens or isotopes thereof, e.g., hydrogen-1 (protium) and hydrogen-2 (deuterium).

[0059] It is understood that the compounds described herein can be labeled isotopically. Substitution with isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, such as, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Each chemical element as represented in a compound structure may include any isotope of said element. For example, in a compound structure a hydrogen atom may be explicitly disclosed or understood to be present in the compound. At any position of the compound that a hydrogen atom may be present, the hydrogen atom can be any isotope of hydrogen, including but not limited to hydrogen- 1 (protium) and hydrogen-2 (deuterium). Thus, reference herein to a compound encompasses all potential isotopic forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0060] It is understood that the methods and combinations described herein include crystalline forms (also known as polymorphs, which include the different crystal packing arrangements of the same elemental composition of a compound), amorphous phases, salts, solvates and hydrates. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein exist insolvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol or the like. In other embodiments, the compounds described herein exist in unsolvated form. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and may be formed during the process of crystallization with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol or the like. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. In addition, the compounds provided herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the compounds and methods provided herein.

[0061] Where a range of values is provided, it is understood that the upper and lower limit, and each intervening value between the upper and lower limit of the range is encompassed within the embodiments.

[0062] Terms and phrases used in this application, and variations thereof, especially in the appended claims, unless otherwise expressly stated, should be construed as open ended as opposed to limiting. As examples of the foregoing, the term ‘including’ should be read to mean ‘including, without limitation,’ ‘including but not limited to,’ or the like; the term ‘comprising’ as used herein is synonymous with ‘including,’ ‘containing,’ or ‘characterized by,’ and is inclusive or open-ended and does not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps; the term ‘having’ should be interpreted as ‘having at least;’ the term ‘includes’ should be interpreted as ‘includes but is not limited to;’ the term ‘example’ is used to provide exemplary instances of the item in discussion, not an exhaustive or limiting list thereof; and use of terms like ‘preferably,’ ‘preferred,’ ‘desired,’ or ‘desirable,’ and words of similar meaning should not be understood as implying that certain features are critical, essential, or even important to the structure or function, but instead as merely intended to highlight alternative or additional features that may or may not be utilized in a particular embodiment. In addition, the term “comprising” is to be interpreted synonymously with the phrases "having at least" or "including at least". When used in the context of a compound, composition or device, the term "comprising" means that the compound, composition or device includes at least the recited features or components, but may also include additional features or components.

[0063] With respect to the use of substantially any plural and / or singular terms herein, those having skill in the art can translate from the plural to the singular and / or fromthe singular to the plural as is appropriate to the context and / or application. The various singular / plural permutations may be expressly set forth herein for sake of clarity. The indefinite article “a” or “an” does not exclude a plurality. The mere fact that certain measures are recited in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate that a combination of these measures cannot be used to advantage. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the scope.Compounds

Exemplary Compound Nos. 1 to 36.Synthesis

[0076] Compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (I'), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can be made in various ways by those skilled using known techniques as guided by the detailed teachings provided herein, including the Examples provided below. For example, in an embodiment, compounds of the Formula (I) are prepared in accordance with the procedures illustrated in General Scheme A provided herein. Any preliminary reaction steps required to form starting compounds or other precursors, can be carried out by those skilled in the art, for example by appropriate adjustment of the reagents and conditionsdescribed in the Examples. In General Scheme A, the variables including Cy1, Cy2, V, W, R1, R2and L can be as described elsewhere herein, taking into consideration the synthetic conversions involved as understood by those of skill in the art.Pharmaceutical Compositions

[0077] Some embodiments described herein relate to a pharmaceutical composition, that can include an effective amount of one or more compounds described herein (for example, a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (F), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, excipient or combination thereof.

[0078] The term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a mixture of one or more compounds and / or salts disclosed herein with other chemical components, such as diluents or carriers. The pharmaceutical composition facilitates administration of the compound to an organism. Pharmaceutical compositions can also be obtained by reacting compounds with inorganic or organic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and salicylic acid. Pharmaceutical compositions will generally be tailored to the specific intended route of administration.

[0079] The term “physiologically acceptable” defines a carrier, diluent or excipient that does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the compound nor cause appreciable damage or injury to an animal to which delivery of the composition is intended.

[0080] As used herein, a “carrier” refers to a compound that facilitates the incorporation of a compound into cells or tissues. For example, without limitation, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a commonly utilized carrier that facilitates the uptake of many organic compounds into cells or tissues of a subject.

[0081] As used herein, a “diluent” refers to an ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition that lacks appreciable pharmacological activity but may be pharmaceutically necessary or desirable. For example, a diluent may be used to increase the bulk of a potent drug whose mass is too small for manufacture and / or administration. It may also be a liquid for the dissolution of a drug to be administered by injection, ingestion or inhalation. Acommon form of diluent in the art is a buffered aqueous solution such as, without limitation, phosphate buffered saline that mimics the pH and isotonicity of human blood.

[0082] As used herein, an “excipient” refers to an essentially inert substance that is added to a pharmaceutical composition to provide, without limitation, bulk, consistency, stability, binding ability, lubrication, disintegrating ability etc., to the composition. For example, stabilizers such as anti-oxidants and metal-chelating agents are excipients. In an embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprises an anti-oxidant and / or a metal- chelating agent. A “diluent” is a type of excipient.

[0083] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be administered to a human patient per se, or in pharmaceutical compositions where they are mixed with other active ingredients, as in combination therapy, or carriers, diluents, excipients or combinations thereof. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. Techniques for formulation and administration of the compounds described herein are known to those skilled in the art.

[0084] The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein may be manufactured in a manner that is itself known, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or tableting processes. Additionally, the active ingredients are contained in an amount effective to achieve its intended purpose. Many of the compounds used in the pharmaceutical combinations disclosed herein may be provided as salts with pharmaceutically compatible counterions.

[0085] Multiple techniques of administering a compound, salt and / or composition exist in the art including, but not limited to, oral, rectal, pulmonary, topical, aerosol, injection, infusion and parenteral delivery, including intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramedullary injections, intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intraperitoneal, intranasal and intraocular injections. In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (F), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be administered orally.

[0086] One may also administer the compound, salt and / or composition in a local rather than systemic manner, for example, via injection or implantation of the compound directly into the affected area, often in a depot or sustained release formulation. Furthermore, one may administer the compound in a targeted drug delivery system, for example, in a liposome coated with a tissue-specific antibody. The liposomes will be targeted to and takenup selectively by the organ. For example, intranasal or pulmonary delivery to target a respiratory disease or condition may be desirable.

[0087] The compositions may, if desired, be presented in a pack or dispenser device which may contain one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. The pack may for example comprise metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack. The pack or dispenser device may be accompanied by instructions for administration. The pack or dispenser may also be accompanied with a notice associated with the container in form prescribed by a governmental agency regulating the manufacture, use, or sale of pharmaceuticals, which notice is reflective of approval by the agency of the form of the drug for human or veterinary administration. Such notice, for example, may be the labeling approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for prescription drugs, or the approved product insert. Compositions that can include a compound and / or salt described herein formulated in a compatible pharmaceutical carrier may also be prepared, placed in an appropriate container, and labeled for treatment of an indicated condition.Uses and Methods of Treatment

In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (I’), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can result in a severity of a side effect (such as one of those described herein) that is 25% less than compared to the severity of the same side effect experienced by a subject receiving a known WEE1 inhibitor (such as AZD1775, formally known as MK1775 (CAS No.: 955365-80-7, 2-allyl-l-(6-(2-hydroxypropan-2- yl)pyridin-2-yl)-6-(4-(4-methylpiperazin-l-yl)phenylamino)-l,2-dihydropyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidin-3-one)). In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (F), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, results in a number of side effects that is 25% less than compared to the number of side effects experienced by a subject receiving a known WEE1 inhibitor (for example, AZD1775). In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (I’), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, results in a severity of a side effect (such as one of those described herein) that is less in the range of about 10% to about 30% compared to the severity of the same side effect experienced by a subject receiving a known WEE1 inhibitor (such as AZD1775). In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (F), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, results in a number of side effects that is in the range of about 10% to about 30% less than compared to the number of side effects experienced by a subject receiving a known WEE1 inhibitor (for example, AZD1775).

[0097] The one or more compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (F), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, that can be used to treat, ameliorate and / or inhibit the growth of a cancer wherein inhibiting the activity of WEE1 is beneficial is provided in any of the embodiments described under the heading titled “Compounds” above.

[0098] As used herein, a “subject” refers to an animal that is the object of treatment, observation or experiment. “Animal” includes cold- and warm-blooded vertebrates and invertebrates such as fish, shellfish, reptiles and, in particular, mammals. “Mammal” includes, without limitation, mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, cows, horses, primates, such as monkeys, chimpanzees, and apes, and, in particular, humans. In some embodiments, the subject can be human. In some embodiments, the subject can be a child and / or an infant, for example, a child or infant with a fever. In other embodiments, the subject can be an adult.

[0099] As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treating,” “treatment,” “therapeutic,” and “therapy” do not necessarily mean total cure or abolition of the disease or condition. Any alleviation of any undesired signs or symptoms of the disease or condition, to any extent can be considered treatment and / or therapy. Furthermore, treatment may include acts that may worsen the subject’s overall feeling of well-being or appearance.

[0100] The terms “therapeutically effective amount” and “effective amount” are used to indicate an amount of an active compound, or pharmaceutical agent, that elicits the biological or medicinal response indicated. For example, a therapeutically effective amount of compound, salt or composition can be the amount needed to prevent, alleviate or ameliorate symptoms of the disease or condition, or prolong the survival of the subject being treated. This response may occur in a tissue, system, animal or human and includes alleviation of the signs or symptoms of the disease or condition being treated. Determination of an effective amount is well within the capability of those skilled in the art, in view of the disclosure provided herein. The therapeutically effective amount of the compounds disclosed herein required as a dose will depend on the route of administration, the type of animal, including human, being treated and the physical characteristics of the specific animal under consideration. The dose can be tailored to achieve a desired effect, but will depend on such factors as weight, diet, concurrent medication and other factors which those skilled in the medical arts will recognize.

[0101] For example, an effective amount of a compound, or radiation, is the amount that results in: (a) the reduction, alleviation or disappearance of one or more symptoms caused by the cancer, (b) the reduction of tumor size, (c) the elimination of the tumor, and / or (d) long-term disease stabilization (growth arrest) of the tumor. In the treatmentof lung cancer (such as non-small cell lung cancer) a therapeutically effective amount is that amount that alleviates or eliminates cough, shortness of breath and / or pain. As another example, an effective amount, or a therapeutically effective amount of an WEE1 inhibitor and / or degrader is the amount which results in the reduction in WEE1 activity and / or phosphorylation (such as phosphorylation of CDC2). The reduction in WEE1 activity is known to those skilled in the art and can be determined by the analysis of WEE1 intrinsic kinase activity and downstream substrate phosphorylation.

[0102] The amount of the compound of Formula (I) or Formula (I’), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, required for use in treatment will vary not only with the particular compound or salt selected but also with the route of administration, the nature and / or symptoms of the disease or condition being treated and the age and condition of the patient and will be ultimately at the discretion of the attendant physician or clinician. In cases of administration of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, dosages may be calculated as the free base. As will be understood by those of skill in the art, in certain situations it may be necessary to administer the compounds disclosed herein in amounts that exceed, or even far exceed, the dosage ranges described herein in order to effectively and aggressively treat particularly aggressive diseases or conditions.

[0103] In general, however, a suitable dose will often be in the range of from about 0.05 mg / kg to about 10 mg / kg. For example, a suitable dose may be in the range from about 0.10 mg / kg to about 7.5 mg / kg ofbody weight per day, such as about 0.15 mg / kg to about 5.0 mg / kg ofbody weight of the recipient per day, about 0.2 mg / kg to 4.0 mg / kg of body weight of the recipient per day, or any amount in between. The compound may be administered in unit dosage form; for example, containing 1 to 500 mg, 10 to 100 mg, 5 to 50 mg or any amount in between, of active ingredient per unit dosage form.

[0104] The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose or as divided doses administered at appropriate intervals, for example, as two, three, four or more sub-doses per day. The sub-dose itself may be further divided, e.g., into a number of discrete loosely spaced administrations.

[0105] As will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, the useful in vivo dosage to be administered and the particular mode of administration will vary depending upon the age, weight, the severity of the affliction, the mammalian species treated, the particularcompounds employed and the specific use for which these compounds are employed. The determination of effective dosage levels, that is the dosage levels necessary to achieve the desired result, can be accomplished by one skilled in the art using routine methods, for example, human clinical trials, in vivo studies and in vitro studies. For example, useful dosages of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (F), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can be determined by comparing their in vitro activity, and in vivo activity in animal models. Such comparison can be done by comparison against an established drug, such as cisplatin and / or gemcitabine)

[0106] Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active moiety which are sufficient to maintain the modulating effects, or minimal effective concentration (MEC). The MEC will vary for each compound but can be estimated from in vivo and / or in vitro data. Dosages necessary to achieve the MEC will depend on individual characteristics and route of administration. However, HPLC assays or bioassays can be used to determine plasma concentrations. Dosage intervals can also be determined using MEC value. Compositions should be administered using a regimen which maintains plasma levels above the MEC for 10-90% of the time, preferably between 30-90% and most preferably between 50-90%. In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of the drug may not be related to plasma concentration.

[0107] It should be noted that the attending physician would know how to and when to terminate, interrupt or adjust administration due to toxicity or organ dysfunctions. Conversely, the attending physician would also know to adjust treatment to higher levels if the clinical response were not adequate (precluding toxicity). The magnitude of an administrated dose in the management of the disorder of interest will vary with the severity of the disease or condition to be treated and to the route of administration. The severity of the disease or condition may, for example, be evaluated, in part, by standard prognostic evaluation methods. Further, the dose and perhaps dose frequency, will also vary according to the age, body weight and response of the individual patient. A program comparable to that discussed above may be used in veterinary medicine.

[0108] Compounds, salts and compositions disclosed herein can be evaluated for efficacy and toxicity using known methods. For example, the toxicology of a particular compound, or of a subset of the compounds, sharing certain chemical moieties, may beestablished by determining in vitro toxicity towards a cell line, such as a mammalian, and preferably human, cell line. The results of such studies are often predictive of toxicity in animals, such as mammals, or more specifically, humans. Alternatively, the toxicity of particular compounds in an animal model, such as mice, rats, rabbits, dogs or monkeys, may be determined using known methods. The efficacy of a particular compound may be established using several recognized methods, such as in vitro methods, animal models, or human clinical trials. When selecting a model to determine efficacy, the skilled artisan can be guided by the state of the art to choose an appropriate model, dose, route of administration and / or regime.EXAMPLES

Plates were then incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 for 72 h for A427 or 6 day for OVCAR3 and MDA-MB-231, and then were equilibrated at rt for approximately 30 mins. An equi -volume amount of CellTiter-Glo® Reagent (100 pL) was added to each well. Plates were mixed for 2 mins on an orbital shaker to induce cell lysis and then incubated at rt for 10 mins to stabilize the luminescent signal. Luminescence was recorded using a Spectramax i3x (Molecular Devices) plate reader according to CellTiter-Glo protocol. IC50 determination was performed using a non-linear regression, variable slope (four parameter), inhibitor v. response equation (Prism 9.0). IC50 values are provided in Table 2. For comparison, Table 2 also includes IC50 values for reference compound ZN-c3.Table 2. IC50 values.For A427, 0VCAR3 and MDA-MB-231 CTG IC50: A = a single IC50 < 100 nM; B = a single IC50 >100 nM and < 500 nM; C = a single IC50 >500 nM, ND: Not DeterminedExample 22Protein degradation assay in MOLT-4 cells

[0199] 1.5 million MOLT-4 cells (ATCC, CRL-1582) were incubated with vehicle (DMSO) or 10 gM, 1 gM, 0.1 gM, or 0.01 gM concentrations of the indicated compounds for 5 hours. After treatment, the cells were harvested in RIPA lysis buffer supplemented with 1% Phosphatase Inhibitor and Protease Inhibitor Cocktail and protein concentration was determined by BCA assay. An equal amount of protein (3.5 gg / lane) from each cell extract was loaded onto 12-230 KDa Separation 25 Capillary Cartridges fromProteinSimple and probed with WEE1 (1 :200 dilution, final concentration of 1 pg / mL) and P-Actin (1 :100 dilution, final concentration of 5 pg / mL) antibodies on a ProteinSimple Jess system according to ProteinSimple / SimpleWestern protocols. The area under the curve (AUC) from the resulting el etr opherograms for each protein peak at the concentrations tested was used to calculate percent degradation for WEE1 using the equation percent degradation = 100 - [100*(WEEl / p-Actin) / (WEElDMso / P-ActinDMso)]. For illustrative purposes, electopherograms were exported as virtual blots using Compass for SW v 6.0 (ProteinSimple). The WEE-1 antibody (sc-5285) was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology and P-actin (MAB8929) was purchased from R&D Systems. Percent remaining of WEE1 after 5 hour treatment in MOLT-4 cells at the tested concentrations are provided in Table 3. A “hook effect” is observed at higher concentrations, however these results indicate that many of the exemplified compounds are potent degraders of WEE1.Table 3. Percent of remaining WEE1.

[0200] Compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (I’) provided herein exhibit highly desirable properties for a DNA damage response (DDR) kinase inhibitor / degrader, including cancer cell proliferation and WEE1 kinase degradation as demonstrated in the data presented in Tables 2 and 3. In addition, compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (I’) exhibit superior solubility as well as in vivo safety and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic properties as characterized using assay methods readily known by a person having ordinary skill in the art, such as the methods described in the following Examples 23-26.Example 23Metabolic stability of WEE1 inhibitor / degrader compounds in mouse, rat, dog, monkey, and human microsomes

[0201] 222.5 pL of the master solution (100 mM phosphate buffer; 1 mg / mL liver microsomes) and 25 pL of 20 mM NADPH solution were added to the incubation plates and pre-warmed for 10 min. Each reaction was started with the addition of 2.5 pL of 100 pM control compound or test compound solutions. Verapamil was used as positive control in this study. The final concentration of control compound and test compounds were 1 pM. Aliquots of 25 pL were taken from the reaction solution at 0.5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min. Each reaction was stopped by the addition of 5 volumes of cold acetonitrile with IS (100 nM Alprazolam, 200 nM Caffeine, 200 nM Labetalol and 100 nM tolbutamide). Samples were centrifuged at 3, 220 g for 30 min. Aliquots of 100 pL of the supernatant were mixed with 100 pL of ultra- pure H2O and then used for LC-MS / MS analysis.

[0202] All calculations were carried out using Microsoft Excel. Peak area ratios were determined from extracted ion chromatograms. Percent compounds remaining at each time point were calculated by the following equation:Remaining Percentage t min (%) = [Peak Area Ratio t min / Peak Area Ratio 0 min] x 100% Where:Peak Area Ratio t min is peak area ratio of control and test compounds at t min;Peak Area Ratio 0 min is peak area ratio of control and test compounds at zero time point.

[0203] Peak areas were determined from extracted ion chromatograms. The slope value, k, was determined by linear regression of the natural logarithm of the remaining percentage of the parent drug vs. incubation time curve.

[0204] The in vitro half-life (in vitrotif) was determined from the slope value:

[0205] in vitro ti / 2 = -(0.693 / k)

[0206] Conversion of the in vitroti / 2 (min) into the in vitro intrinsic clearance (in vitro CLmt, in pL / min / mg protein) was done using the following equation (mean of duplicate determinations):

[0207] The calculations of Clint (mL / min / kg), Pred Cl (mL / min / kg) and ER (endoplasmic reticulum) were done using the following equations:Clint = (0.693 / T1 / 2)x(l / (microsomal protein concentration (0.5 mg / mL))) x Scaling Factors(see Table for scaling factors)Clhep = (QH X Clint X fub) / (QH + Clintxfob)ER = Chep / QH, where QH is the hepatic blood flow (mL / min / kg) (Table 4), fub is the fraction of unbound drug in plasma which is assumed to be 1.Table 4. Scaling factors for intrinsic clearance prediction in mouse, rat, dog, monkey, and human microsomes.aScaling Factor = (microsomal protein per gram of liver) x (liver weight per kilogram of body weight)Example 24LogD determination of WEE1 inhibitors / degraders in 1 -octanol / PB S pH 7.4

[0208] LogD is a distribution coefficient widely used to measure the lipophilicity of ionizable compounds, where the partition is a function of the pH.

[0209] The stock solutions of test compounds and the control compound were prepared in DMSO at the concentration of 10 mM. To prepare sodium phosphate buffer / octanol, equal amounts of freshly prepared 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.4 and octanol were mixed and the two layers were vortexed thoroughly. The two layers were allowed to separate for several days in one glass separatory funnel. The first 5 mL of buffer from the separation funnel was discarded before filling the dispenser. The octanol -saturated of phosphate buffer was in the lower layer; the upper layer was octanol saturated with buffer.

[0210] 5 pL of stock solutions (10 mM) of each sample was placed in order into a 96-well plate. DMSO was added to make a total volume of 50 pL, with the final concentration of each test compound being 1 mM. 10 pL of 1 mM working solution of each compound was placed in order into their respective vials on the 96-well plate. 500 pL of saturated octanol was added into each vial of the plate, followed by the addition of 500 pL of saturated phosphate buffer. The plate was then sealed and transferred to the Eppendorf Thermomixer Comfort plate shaker and shaken at 25°C, 2,000 rpm for 2 hours. The samples were centrifuged at 4,000 rpm at 25°C for 30 min to separate the phases. 5 pL of the octanol samples was transferred to a new 96-well plate, followed by addition of 495 pL of a mixture of H2O and acetonitrile containing internal standard (1 : 1) as 100-fold octanol samples. The mixtures were vortexed for 5 min at 1,000 rpm. 50 pL of 100-fold samples were transferredto new 96-well plate, followed by addition of 450 pL of a mixture of H2O and acetonitrile containing internal standard (1 :1) as 1,000-fold octanol samples. The samples were vortexed for 5 minutes at 1,000 rpm. 50 pL of the buffer samples were transferred to new 96-well plate, followed by addition of 450 pL of a mixture of H2O and acetonitrile containing internal standard (1 : 1) as 10-fold buffer samples. The mixtures were vortexed for 5 min at 1,000 rpm.

[0211] The samples were evaluated by LC-MS / MS analysis. All calculations were carried out using Microsoft Excel. The LogD value of each compound was calculated as follows, with DF = dilution factor:Example 25CYP inhibition studies with midazolam

[0212] The CYP inhibition was determined by incubation of human liver microsome (HLM) with CYP substrates (for example, midazolam for CYP3A4 isoform) in presence of test compounds or control compounds. The incubations were carried out in 96- deep well plates. The following volumes were dispensed into each well of an incubation plate: 179 pL of the substrate solution (containing 1 pM substrate) and HLM mixture in phosphate buffer (100 mM, pH 7.4) and 1 pL of each test compound (at the concentrations 0, 20, 60, 200, 600, 2000 and 6000 pM in DMSO) and positive control working solution (ketoconazole at the concentrations 0, 0.0015, 0.005, 0.015, 0.05, 0.15 and 0.5 pM), or the vehicle. The incubation plate was placed into the water bath and pre-warmed at 37°C for 15 minutes before the reactions were started by the addition of 20 pL of 10 mM NADPH solution in phosphate buffer. After the addition of NADPH, the incubation plate was incubated at 37°C for 5 min. The assays were performed in duplicates.

[0213] At the end of the incubation, the reactions were quenched by the addition of 1 volume (200 pL) of cold acetonitrile containing 3% formic acid and internal standards (IS, 250 nM labetalol, 80 nM alprazolam and 300 nM tolbutamide). The plate was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 30 min. The plate was then placed for 20 min on ice, then centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 30 min again to precipitate protein. 100 pL of the supernatant was transferred to a new plate. Samples were using UPLC / MS / MS. The automatic peak integration areas werechecked for all of the samples, including the Analyte Peak Area and Internal Standard Peak Area. The inhibition of each P450 enzyme in human liver microsomes was measured as the percentage decrease in the activity of marker metabolite formation compared to non-inhibited controls (= 100% activity):Area Ratio = Peak Area Analyte Peak Area Internal StandardRemaining Activity (%) = Area Ratio test compound / Area Ratio vehicle * 100%

[0214] IC50 values (compound concentration which produces 50% inhibition) were determined using Excel XLfit 5.3.1.3.Example 26Pharmacokinetic studies of WEE1 inhibitors / degraders in mice, rats, and dogs

[0215] Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies of test compounds and a control compound via oral gavage (PO) and intravenous (IV) administrations in male CD1 mice (6-8 weeks, -20-30 g), male SD rats (6-8 weeks, -200-300 g), and male beagle dogs (1-2.5 years, -8-12 kg) were carried in accordance with the study designs described in Tables 5-7 below:Table 5. PK mice study design for each test and control compound.Table 6. PK rat study design for each test and control compound.Table 7. PK dog study design for each test and control compound.

[0216] With mice, all animals for IV and PO administration were not fasted prior to dosing. With rats, animals were food fasted overnight prior to dosing and were fed 4 hours after dosing. With dogs, the animals for PO administration were food fasted overnight prior to dosing and will be fed approximately 2 hours after dosing. The animals for IV groups had free access to food and water.

[0217] With all animals, the dose formulations were always freshly prepared on the day of dosing, with the vehicle composition being: DMSO / PEG400 / 30% HP-0-CD in water (5 / 20 / 75) for IV; 25% HP-0-CD in 25 mM citrate buffer (pH 3.0) for PO.

[0218] All animals were subject to the following PK schedule. The blood collection sites for the animals were the dorsal metatarsal vein (for mice), jugular vein (for rats), and peripheral veins (for dogs).Table 8. PK schedule for mice, rats, and dogs.

[0219] Verapamil and dexamethasone are normally used as internal standards. The standard curves were run in duplicates with a minimum of six standards, and a minimum of five standards and the LLOQ should fall within ±20% of the nominal value. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) had a minimum signal to noise ratio of 3. A minimum of duplicate quality controls (QC’s) at three concentrations (low, mid, and high QC) were incorporated into each run with the low QC no more than 3 x LLOQ, the mid QC around the middle of the curve, and the high QC were 80% of the ULOQ for the run. The results of the QC’s provided the basis for accepting or rejecting the run. At least 67% of all QC’s, or fourof six should be within 20% of their respective nominal values; 33% of the QC’s fell outside 20% of nominal value. At least 50% of the of the QC’s at the same concentration were within 20% of their respective nominal values. The simplest model that adequately describes the concentration-response relationship was used. Linear or quadratic regressions were also used.

[0220] Concentrations of each test or control compound in the plasma samples were analyzed using an LC-MS / MS method.

[0221] WinNonlin (Phoenix™, version 8.3) or other similar software will be used for pharmacokinetic calculations. The following pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated, whenever possible, from the plasma concentration versus time data:IV administration: T1 / 2, Co, AUCiast, AUCo-24h, AUCinf, MRTinf, Cl, Vss, Number of Points for Regression.PO administration: T1 / 2, C max, Tmax, AUCiast, AUCo-24h, AUCinf, Bioavailability (F).

[0222] The pharmacokinetic data was described using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation.
