COMPOUNDS, COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS

[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 62/292,202, filed February 5, 2016, 62/341,019, filed May 24, 2016, 62/363,775, filed July 18, 2016, 62/385,217, filed September 8, 2016, and 62/417,219, filed November 3, 2016. The entire contents of these applications are incorporated by reference into this application.

FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates generally to inhibitors of kinase, therapeutic methods of use, and manufacture thereof.

BACKGROUND

[0003] Although inflammation can be a protective mechanism in response to harmful stimuli such as invasion of pathogens and tissue damages, chronic inflammation is an important underlying factor in many human diseases such as neurodegeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and cancer. Similarly, the activation of cell death pathways, such as necrosis and apoptosis which are useful in eliminating infected or damaged cells, is also an important underlying mechanism for human diseases, including acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases.

[0004] Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 is a key regulator of inflammation, apoptosis and necroptosis. Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 has an important role in modulating inflammatory responses mediated by nuclear-factor kappa-light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κΒ). More recent research has shown that its kinase activity controls necroptosis, a form of necrotic cell death, which was traditionally thought to be passive and unregulated, and is characterized by a unique morphology. Further, receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 is part of a pro-apoptotic complex indicating its activity in regulating apoptosis.

[0005] The receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 is subject to complex and intricate regulatory mechanisms, including ubiquitylation, deubiquitylation and phosphorylation. These regulatory events collectively determine whether a cell will survive and activate an inflammatory response or die through apoptosis or necroptosis. Dysregulation of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 signaling can lead to excessive inflammation or cell death, and conversely, research has shown that inhibition of receptorinteracting protein kinase 1 can be effective therapies for diseases involving inflammation or cell death.

1. Definitions

[0012] The following description sets forth exemplary embodiments of the present technology. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is instead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.

[0013] As used in the present specification, the following words, phrases and symbols are generally intended to have the meanings as set forth below, except to the extent that the context in which they are used indicates otherwise.

[0014] A dash (“-”) that is not between two letters or symbols is used to indicate a point of attachment for a substituent. For example, -C(0)NH2 is attached through the carbon atom. A dash at the front or end of a chemical group is a matter of convenience; chemical groups may be depicted with or without one or more dashes without losing their ordinary meaning. A wavy line drawn through a line in a structure indicates a point of attachment of a group. Unless chemically or structurally required, no directionality or stereochemistry is indicated or implied by the order in which a chemical group is written or named.

[0015] The prefix “Cu-v” indicates that the following group has from u to v carbon atoms. For example, “C1-6 alkyl” indicates that the alkyl group has from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.

[0016] Reference to “about” a value or parameter herein includes (and describes) embodiments that are directed to that value or parameter per se. In certain embodiments, the term “about” includes the indicated amount ± 10%. In certain embodiments, the term “about” includes the indicated amount ± 5%. In certain embodiments, the term “about” includes the indicated amount ±1%. Also, to the term “about X” includes description of “X”.

[0068] Polymers or similar indefinite structures arrived at by defining substituents with further substituents appended ad infinitum (e.g., a substituted aryl having a substituted alkyl which is itself substituted with a substituted aryl group, which is further substituted by a substituted heteroalkyl group, etc.) are not intended for inclusion herein. Unless otherwise noted, the maximum number of serial substitutions in compounds described herein is three. For example, serial substitutions of substituted aryl groups with two other substituted aryl groups are limited to ((substituted aryl)substituted aryl) substituted aryl. Similarly, the above definitions are not intended to include impermissible substitution patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with 5 fluorines or heteroaryl groups having two adjacent oxygen ring atoms). Such impermissible substitution patterns are well known to the skilled artisan. When used to modify a chemical group, the term “substituted” may describe other chemical groups defined herein. Unless specified otherwise, where a group is described as optionally substituted, any substituents of the group are themselves unsubstituted. For example, in certain embodiments, the term “substituted alkyl” refers to an alkyl group having one or more substituents including hydroxy, halo, alkoxy, acyl, oxo, amino, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, and heteroaryl. In other embodiments, the one or more substituents may be further substituted with halo, alkyl, haloalkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, each of which is substituted. In other embodiments, the substituents may be further substituted with halo, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, each of which is unsubstituted.

[0069] Any compound or formula given herein, is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as, but not limited to 2H (deuterium, D), 3H (tritium), 11C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18F, 31P, 32P, 35S, 36Cl and 125I. Various isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H, 13C and 14C are incorporated. Such isotopically labelled compounds may be useful in metabolic studies, reaction kinetic studies, detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays or in radioactive treatment of patients.

[0070] The disclosure also includes “deuterated analogs” of compounds of Formula I in which from 1 to n hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is/are replaced by deuterium, in which n is the number of hydrogens in the molecule. Such compounds exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and are thus useful for increasing the half-life of any compound of Formula I when administered to a mammal, particularly a human. See, for example, Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism,” Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium.

[0071] Deuterium labelled or substituted therapeutic compounds of the disclosure may have improved DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics) properties, relating to distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements and/or an improvement in therapeutic index. An 18F, 3H, 11C labeled compound may be useful for PET or SPECT or other imaging studies. Isotopically labeled compounds of this disclosure and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent in the compound of Formula I.

[0072] The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, may be defined by an isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of this disclosure any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwise stated, when a position is designated specifically as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition. Accordingly, in the compounds of this disclosure any atom specifically designated as a deuterium (D) is meant to represent deuterium.

[0073] In many cases, the compounds of this disclosure are capable of forming acid and/or base salts by virtue of the presence of amino and/or carboxyl groups or groups similar thereto.

[0074] Provided are also pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates, tautomeric forms, stereoisomers, and prodrugs of the compounds described herein. “Pharmaceutically acceptable” or “physiologically acceptable” refer to compounds, salts, compositions, dosage forms and other materials which are useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is suitable for veterinary or human pharmaceutical use.

[0075] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” of a given compound refers to salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the given compound, and which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. “Pharmaceutically acceptable salts” or “physiologically acceptable salts” include, for example, salts with inorganic acids and salts with an organic acid. In addition, if the compounds described herein are obtained as an acid addition salt, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid salt. Conversely, if the product is a free base, an addition salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt, may be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, in accordance with conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds. Those skilled in the art will recognize various synthetic methodologies that may be used to prepare nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts may be prepared from inorganic and organic acids. Salts derived from inorganic acids include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. Salts derived from organic acids include acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluene-sulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like. Likewise, pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be prepared from inorganic and organic bases. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, by way of example only, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium and magnesium salts. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, such as alkyl amines (i.e., NH2(alkyl)), dialkyl amines (i.e., HN(alkyl)2), trialkyl amines (i.e., N(alkyl)3), substituted alkyl amines (i.e., NH2(substituted alkyl)), di(substituted alkyl) amines (i.e., HN(substituted alkyl)2), tri(substituted alkyl) amines (i.e., N(substituted alkyl)3), alkenyl amines (i.e., NH2(alkenyl)), dialkenyl amines (i.e., HN(alkenyl)2), trialkenyl amines (i.e., N(alkenyl)3), substituted alkenyl amines (i.e., NH2(substituted alkenyl)), di(substituted alkenyl) amines (i.e., HN(substituted alkenyl)2), !!!(substituted alkenyl) amines (i.e., N(substituted alkenyl)3, mono-, di- or tri- cycloalkyl amines (i.e., NH2(cycloalkyl), HN(cycloalkyl)2, N(cycloalkyl)3), mono-, di- or tri- arylamines (i.e., NH2(aryl), HN(aryl)2, N(aryl)3), or mixed amines, etc. Specific examples of suitable amines include, by way of example only, isopropylamine, trimethyl amine, diethyl amine, tri(iso-propyl) amine, tri(n-propyl) amine, ethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, piperazine, piperidine, morpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, and the like.

[0076] The term “hydrate” refers to the complex formed by the combining of a compound of Formula I and water.

[0077] A “solvate” refers to an association or complex of one or more solvent molecules and a compound of the invention. Examples of solvents that form solvates include, but are not limited to, water, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, dimethylsulfoxide, ethylacetate, acetic acid, and ethanolamine.

[0078] Some of the compounds exist as tautomers. Tautomers are in equilibrium with one another. For example, amide containing compounds may exist in equilibrium with imidic acid tautomers.

Regardless of which tautomer is shown, and regardless of the nature of the equilibrium among tautomers, the compounds are understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to comprise both amide and imidic acid tautomers. Thus, the amide containing compounds are understood to include their imidic acid tautomers. Likewise, the imidic acid containing compounds are understood to include their amide tautomers.

[0079] The compounds disclosed herein, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts include an asymmetric center and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (5)- or, as (D)- or (L)- for amino acids. The disclosure is meant to include all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (+) and (-), (R)- and (5)-, or (D)- and (L)- isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallization. Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate (or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centres of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.

[0080] ‘‘Stereoisomers are isomers that differ only in the way the atoms are arranged in space and include enantiomers and diastereomers. In certain embodiments, a “stereoisomer” refers to a compound made up of the same atoms bonded by the same bonds but having different three-dimensional structures, which are not interchangeable. The present disclosure contemplates various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof and includes “enantiomers,” which refers to two stereoisomers whose molecules are nonsuperimposeable mirror images of one another.

[0081] ‘‘Enantiomers” are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a racemic mixture.

[0082] ‘‘Diastereoisomers” are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other.

[0083] The absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn Ingold Prelog R S system. When the compound is a pure enantiomer the stereochemistry at each chiral carbon may be specified by either R or S. Resolved compounds whose absolute configuration is unknown are designated (+) or (-) depending on the direction (dextro- or laevorotary) that they rotate the plane of polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line.

[0084] “Prodrugs” means any compound which releases an active parent drug according to Formula I or any other formula described herein in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of a compound of Formula I or any other formula described herein are prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compound of Formula I or any other formula described herein in such a way that the modifications may be cleaved in vivo to release the parent compound. Prodrugs may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent compounds. Prodrugs include compounds of Formula I or any other formula described herein wherein a hydroxy, amino, carboxyl or sulfhydryl group in a compound of Formula I or any other formula described herein is bonded to any group that may be cleaved in vivo to regenerate the free hydroxy, amino, or sulfhydryl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to esters (e.g., acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives), amides, guanidines, carbamates (e.g., Ν,Ν-dimethylaminocarbonyl) of hydroxy functional groups in compounds of Formula I or any other formula described herein and the like. Preparation, selection and use of prodrugs is discussed in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series; Design of Prodrugs, ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985; and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0085] As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” or “excipient” includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active ingredients can also be incorporated into the compositions.

[0402] 1H Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was carried out using a Bruker Avance III equipped with a BBFO 300 MHz probe operating at 300 MHz or one of the following instruments: a Bruker Avance 400 instrument equipped with probe DUAL 400MHz S1, a Bruker Avance 400 instrument equipped with probe 6 SI 400 MHz 5mm 'H-13C ID, a Bruker Avance III 400 instrument with nanobay equipped with probe Broadband BBFO 5 mm direct, a Bruker Mercury Plus 400 NMR Spectrometer equipped with a Bruker 400 BBO probe all operating at 400 MHz. The spectra were acquired in the stated solvent at around room temperature unless otherwise stated. In all cases, NMR data were consistent with the proposed structures. Flash chromatography was performed using 40-63 pm (230-400 mesh) silica gel from Silicycle following analogous techniques to those disclosed in Still, W.C.; Kahn, M.; and Mitra, M. Journal of Organic Chemistry, 1978, 43, 2923.

Compound preparation

[0403] Where the preparation of starting materials is not described, these are commercially available, known in the literature, or readily obtainable by those skilled in the art using standard procedures. Where it is stated that compounds were prepared analogously to earlier examples or intermediates, it will be appreciated by the skilled person that the reaction time, number of equivalents of reagents and temperature can be modified for each specific reaction and that it may be necessary or desirable to employ different work-up or purification techniques. Where reactions are carried out using microwave irradiation, the microwave used is a Biotage Initiator. The actual power supplied varies during the course of the reaction in order to maintain a constant temperature.

Biological Assays

[1102] Compounds were tested for binding and cellular kinase activity according to the following protocols. proGST-hRIPKl (8-327) enzyme was generated by Proteros GmbH by Baculovirus expression system.

[1103] The cellular necroptosis assay (Cell IC50 in Tables 5-7) evaluates the ability of compounds to reverse the necrosis induced by human TNFa. Ten concentrations of the test compounds were assessed in duplicate in two different test occasions. FADD-deficient Jurkat cells were purchased from ATCC (ATCC-CRL-2572) and cultured in suspension in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% heat inactivated of FBS and 1% Pen-Strep. The day of the experiment cells were diluted to a density of

0.12xl05 cells/mL (5,000 cells/well) with culture medium and added (40 pL) into the 384-well plate containing 0.2 pL/well of test compounds and reference compounds (CRCs) (200x). Cell plates were then incubated at 37°C -5% CO2. After 30 min, necroptotic cell death was induced with human TNFa (10 ng/mL) and cell viability was evaluated 48h later by measuring cellular ATP levels using CellTiter-Glo® kit (Promega). Luminescence was read by using Victor V (Perkin Elmer) multilabel plate reader. Data were expressed as % of max viability calculated comparing the values to TNFa untreated control cells which represents 100% of cell viability. CRCs were analysed by Dotmatics and IC50 values were calculated by non-linear regression using 4 parameter-logistic equation.

[1104] Fluorescent Polarization Binding (FP Binding) assay (Berger S.B. et al. (2015) Cell Death Discovery, 1: 15009; Maki J.L. et al. (2012) Anal Biochem., 427(2): 164-174) was performed in polystyrene low volume 384-well black plate, at Room Temperature (RT) in a final volume of 10.1 pl/well using 10 nM of GST-hRIPKl (8-327) enzyme and 5 nM of fluorescent-labeled ligand (14-(2-{[3({2-{[4-(cyanomethyl)phenyl]amino} [(5-cyclopropyl-lH-pyrazol yl)amino] pyrimidinyl}amino) propyl]amino} oxoethyl)-l 6,16,18,18-tetramethyl-6,7,7a,8a,9,10,16,18-octahydrobenzo [2”,3”]indolizino[8”,7”:5',6']pyrano [3',2':3,4]pyrido[l,2-a]indol ium sulfonate.

[1105] Test Compounds were serially diluted in DMSO at 100 fold final concentrations in the assay (1% DMSO final). In each well of a 384-well Plate were dispensed 0.1 pL of compound solution (or DMSO for controls) followed by 5 pL of GST-hRIPKl (8-327) at twice the final concentrations in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM NaCl, 50 mM MgCl2, 0.02% CHAPS, 0.5 mM DTT and 0.01% Pluronic F127). For negative control the enzyme addition was replaced by assay buffer only.

[1106] After addition of 5 pL of fluorescent-labeled ligand at twice the final concentrations in assay buffer, the plate was incubated at RT for 30 min. At the end, the binding was measured as FP value with the Envision (PerkinElmer) plate reader using filter for an excitation λ = 531 nm FP and an emission λ = 595 nm FP (S & P-pol).

[1107] GST-hRIPKl (8-327) enzyme was generated by Proteros GmbH by Baculovirus expression system.

[1108] Test compounds were diluted in DMSO and 0.1 pL of solution was dispensed to each well of a 384-well white solid microplate. The assay buffer was 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 30 mM MgCl2. The buffer was supplemented with 0.02% CHAPS, 0.01% of Pluronic F127, 0.1 mg/mL BSA and 1 mM DTT. MnCl2, 5 mM, was included in the assay buffer on the day of the experiment. The enzymatic reaction comprised 1.5 pg/mL GST-hRIPKl (8-327) and 50 pM ATP for receptor interacting protein kinase 1 and 15 pM ATP. 5 pL of enzyme and 5 pL of ATP were added to the plate at twice the final assay concentration and incubated at room temperature for 3 hours. Following this reaction, 10 pL of ADP-G10 reagent (Promega) was added to each well and incubated for 40 min at room temperature. This stops the kinase reaction and depletes any remaining ATP. 20 pL of ADP-G10 detection reagent was then added to each well and incubated at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. The detection reagent converts ADP to ATP and introduces luciferase and luciferin to detect ATP. The luminescence is then measured with the Envision (PerkinElmer) plate reader. Test compound inhibition was expressed as percent inhibition of internal assay controls. For concentration response curves, normalized data is fit and IC50 determined using XL-fit (!DBS) for Excel. The IC50 were averaged to determine a mean value, for a minimum of two independent experiments.

[1109] Test compound inhibition was expressed as percent inhibition of internal assay controls. For concentration response curves, normalized data is fit and IC50 determined using XL-fit (!DBS) for Excel. The IC50 were averaged to determine a mean value, for a minimum of two independent experiments.

[1110] receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 cellular activity and binding of exemplary compounds was determined according to the above general procedure. Results are summarized in Table 5. In the table below, activity is provided as follows: +++ = 0.0001 μΜ < IC50 < 1 μΜ; ++=1 μΜ < IC50 < 10 μΜ; + = 10 μΜ < IC50; ++* = 3 μΜ < IC50.
