Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel heterocyclic compounds that inhibit the enzymatic activities of tyrosine kinase Abelson protein (ABL1) , Abelson-related protein (ABL2) and related chimeric proteins, in particular BCR-ABL1.
  • ABL1 tyrosine kinase Abelson protein
  • ABL2 Abelson-related protein
  • the invention further provides a process for the preparation of compounds of the invention, their pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same as an active ingredient, methods using said compositions in the treatment of various disorders, and use of the compounds in the manufacture of a medicament in inhibition of the enzymatic activities of ABL1, ABL2 and related chimeric proteins.
  • Protein kinase are enzymes that modify other proteins by chemically adding phosphate groups to a specific residue thereof via phosphorylation. So far, about 500 protein kinase genes in the human genome are discovered and they constitute about 2%of all human genes. Based on their substrates of action, protein kinases can be grouped into three classes, which are: 1) . serine/threonine-specific protein kinases which perform phosphorylation on serine and/or threonine residues; 2) tyrosine-specific protein kinases which perform phosphorylation on tyrosine residues; and 3) . protein kinases which perform phosphorylation on both tyrosine and serine/threonine residues.
  • a major role played by protein kinases is to mediate the signal transduction from the cell surface to the nucleus in response to a variety of extracellular stimuli. Through this, they play a key role in regulating normal cellular phenomena, including cell division, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cell mobility, mitogenesis, etc. ; However, their regulating mechanism directly or indirectly interrupted by some factors such as mutation, overexpression or abnormal activation of kinase enzyme, and overproduction or underproduction of growth factors or cytokines which affect up-stream or down-stream signaling. In case these happen, disease conditions can develop; and hence they are closely related with various diseases.
  • kinase-related diseases examples include: autoimmune disorders such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, Crouzon syndrome, achondroplasia, and thanatophoric dysplasia; cancer such as prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, brain and throat cancer, leukemia and lymphoma; diabetes; restenosis; atherosclerosis; renal and hepatic fibrosis; myeloproliferative disorder and lymphoproliferative disorder; and eye disease. Therefore, it is expected that those diseases caused by kinase up-regulation or mutation may be mediated by selectively inhibiting the mechanism of kinase. This leads to tremendous efforts to discover various protein kinase inhibitors in the fields of medicine and chemistry.
  • Cancer is a disease resulting from an abnormal growth of tissue. Certain cancers have the potential to invade into local tissues and also metastasize to distant organs. This disease can develop in a wide variety of different organs, tissues and cell types. Therefore, the term “cancer” refers to a collection of over a thousand different diseases.
  • Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 also known as ABL1 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the ABL1 gene (previous symbol ABL) located on chromosome 9 [Szczylik et al., Science, 1991, 253, P562-5] .
  • the ABL1 proto-oncogene encodes a cytoplasmic and nuclear protein tyrosine kinase that has been implicated in processes of cell differentiation, cell division, cell adhesion, and stress response.
  • Activity of ABL1 protein is negatively regulated by its SH3 domain, and deletion of the SH3 domain turns ABL1 into an oncogene.
  • the t (9; 22) translocation results in the head-to-tail fusion of the BCR and ABL1 genes, leading to a fusion gene present in all cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
  • the DNA-binding activity of the ubiquitously expressed ABL1 tyrosine kinase is regulated by CDC2-mediated phosphorylation, suggesting a cell cycle function for ABL1.
  • ABL1 Mutations in the ABL1 gene are a characteristic abnormality in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and rarely in some other leukemia forms.
  • CML chronic myelogenous leukemia
  • the gene is activated by being translocated within the BCR (breakpoint cluster region) gene on chromosome 22.
  • BCR-ABL This new fusion gene, BCR-ABL, encodes an unregulated, cytoplasm-targeted tyrosine kinase, which activates mediators of the cell cycle regulation system, that allows the cells to proliferate without being regulated by cytokines. This, in turn, allows the cell to become cancerous.
  • the BCR-ABL protein inevitably becomes a drug target of CML treatment. It can be inhibited by various small molecules.
  • drugs that inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of BCR-ABL1 via an ATP-competitive mechanism such as (imatinib) , (nilotinib) and (dasatinib) , are effective in the treatment of CML.
  • drug resistance happens to some patients and cause disease relapse due to the emergence of drug-resistant clones, in which mutations in the SH1domain compromise inhibitor binding.
  • BCR-ABL1 fusion proteins are causative in a percentage of acute lymphocytic leukemias, and drugs targeting ABL kinase activity also have utility in this indication.
  • drugs targeting ABL kinase activity also have utility in this indication.
  • compounds that can inhibit the BCR-ABL protein activities via a different binding mode might have the potential to overcome the resistance and expanding the treatment choice for AML patients.
  • allosteric inhibitors agents targeting the myristoyl binding site have potential for the treatment of BCR-ABL1 disorders [Zhang et al., Nature, 2010, 463, P501-6] .
  • an allosteric inhibitor that binds to the myristoyl binding site might be useful to prevent the emergence of drug resistance from ATP inhibitor.
  • a combination treatment using both types of inhibitor can be developed for the treatment of BCR-ABL1 related disorders. This might leads to more effective treatment for the AML patients and minimizes the rate of disease relapse.
  • inhibitors of ABL1 kinase activity have the potential to be used as therapies for the treatment of metastatic invasive carcinomas and viral infections such as pox and Ebola viruses.
  • the compounds from the present invention also have the potential to treat or prevent diseases or disorders associated with abnormally activated kinase activity of wild-type ABL1, including non-malignant diseases or disorders, such as CNS diseases in particular neurodegenerative diseases (for example Alzheimer's, Parkinson's diseases) , motoneuroneuron diseases (amyotophic lateral sclerosis) , muscular dystrophies, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis) , viral infections, prion diseases.
  • CNS diseases in particular neurodegenerative diseases (for example Alzheimer's, Parkinson's diseases) , motoneuroneuron diseases (amyotophic lateral sclerosis) , muscular dystrophies, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis) , viral infections, prion diseases.
