Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel macrocyclic aminopyridine compounds containing -O-alkylene-NH- as a linking moiety or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which exhibit inhibition activity against certain mutated forms of EGFR.
  • EGFR epidermal growth factor receptor
  • NSCLC non-small cell lung cancer
  • the human EGFR is a membrane-bound receptor tyrosine kinase of the ErbB family.
  • the activation causes downstream effects via several signaling pathways including the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK/MAPK and PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR (Chen et al., 2020).
  • the EGFR signaling pathway regulate a series of important events including proliferation, migration, differentiation, apoptosis, as well as those that regulate intercellular communication during development (Wee et al., 2017; Huang et al., 2015; Yewale et al., 2013).

Description

    MACROCYCLIC AMINOPYRIDINE COMPOUNDS AS EGFR INHIBITORS
  • The present invention relates to novel macrocyclic aminopyridine compounds containing -O-alkylene-NH- as a linking moiety or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which exhibit inhibition activity against certain mutated forms of EGFR.
  • A distinct subtype of lung cancer is epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The human EGFR is a membrane-bound receptor tyrosine kinase of the ErbB family. The activation causes downstream effects via several signaling pathways including the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK/MAPK and PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR (Chen et al., 2020). The EGFR signaling pathway regulate a series of important events including proliferation, migration, differentiation, apoptosis, as well as those that regulate intercellular communication during development (Wee et al., 2017; Huang et al., 2015; Yewale et al., 2013).
  • Approximately 10% to 50% of NSCLC patients have EGFR activating mutations, such as in-frame deletions in exon 19 deletion (Del19) or a missense mutation in exon 21 (L858R). (Yang et al., 2018; Shigematsu et al., 2005; Shu et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2010). These patients respond well to first and second-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), including gefitinib (IRESSATM), erlotinib (TARCEVATM), and afatinib (GIOTRIFTM) allowing them as the initial therapy for in patients with advanced NSCLC harboring common EGFR mutations (Kashima et al., 2020; Mok et al., 2009; Zhou et al., 2011; Sequist et al., 2013). But ultimately acquired resistance to therapy with gefitinib or erlotinib arises predominantly by mutation of the gatekeeper residue T790M, which is detected in approximately half of clinically resistant patients, resulting in double mutants, L858R/T790M and Del19/T790M.
  • Several third-generation EGFR TKIs were being explored to overcome this resistance. Currently, osimertinib is the third-generation EGFR-TKI approved by major regulatory agencies for treatment of T790M-positive patients who have progressed on first- or second generation EGFR-TKIs (Leonetti et al., 2019; Soria et al., 2018).
  • Osimertinib is a powerful inhibitor that inhibits EGFR mutations and T790M resistant mutations, but it causes ineffective binding and C797S subsequent resistance in NSCLC patients (Arulananda et al., 2017). Unfortunately, it has been reported that acquired resistance mutations occur in lung cancer patients after the treatment with third-generation EGFR-TKIs. The C797S mutation is the frequently arise after the use of third generation EGFR TKIs in 10% to 30% of these patients. (Ramalingam et al., 2018; Thress et al., 2015; Oxnard et al., 2018; Starrett et al., 2020; Mehlman et al., 2019; Rangachari et al., 2019; Zhou et al., 2019). Osimertinib resistance resulting from EGFR triple mutations (Del19/T790M/C797S and L858R/T790M/C797S) has been reported, requiring the next generation EGFR-TKI to overcome the osimertinib resistant EGFR triple mutations (Kashima et al., 2020).
  • In front-line therapy with third generation TKI, C797S develops in the absence of T790M (Chen et al., 2020). Osimertinib was also approved in 2018 as first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC, regardless of T790M mutation status (Leonetti et al., 2019). When osimertinib was administered as a front-line therapy, the frequency of the C797S mutation was 7%, making it the second most frequent mechanism, behind MET amplification, of drug resistance in this setting (Leonetti et al., 2019; Ramalingam et al., 2018).
  • When osimertinib was administered as a front-line therapy, the most common resistance mechanisms resulted to be the C797S mutation (7%) and MET amplification (15%). Other mechanisms included HER2 amplification, PIK3CA and RAS mutations (Ramalingam et al., 2018). Also, selectivity to wild-type (WT) EGFR is important for EGFR-TKIs, because WT EGFR inhibition causes adverse effects such as rashes and/or diarrhea, and these WT EGFR-derived toxicities cause dose-limiting effects (Kashima et al., 2020; Fakih et al., 2010; Takeda et al., 2015).
  • The next generation EGFR compounds would need to inhibit Del19/T790M/C797S, L858R/T790M/C797S, Del19/C797S and L858R/C797S and be highly selective versus WT EGFR to avoid adverse effects. Recently, mutant selective inhibitors, BI-4020 and BLU-945 were reported as potential therapeutic strategies to overcome the EGFR Del19/T790M/C797S mutations (Engelhardt et al., 2019; Schalm et al., 2020).
  • However, there have been no reports of these compounds inhibiting Del19/C797S and L858R/C797S. Therefore, novel EGFR-TKIs potently effective against EGFR triple/double mutations are urgently needed.
  • To address this unmet need, we are developing a next generation TKI targeting both C797S triple and double mutants. It is necessary to develop a novel selective (next generation) inhibitor for NSCLC patients with advanced or metastatic diseases carrying Del19/T790M/C797S, L858R/T790M/C797S, Del19/C797S and L858R/C797S mutation following second-line or upfront use of third-generation EGFR TKIs.

The specific Europium-labeled-anti-phosphopeptide antibody (PerkinElmer, AD0069) diluted in LANCE detection buffer was then added to a final concentration of 2 nM. After 60 minutes incubation at room temperature the LANCE signal was measured on an EnVision Multilabel Reader (Perkin-Elmer). Excitation wavelength was set at 320 nm and emission monitored at 615 nm (donor) and 665 nm (acceptor). The IC50 values were determined using GraphPad prism software (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA).
  • Table 5
  • As shown in the above results, the compounds of the present invention exhibit excellent kinase selectivity.
  • 3. Pharmacokinetic Study
  • Pharmacokinetics and oral bioavailability of test compound were evaluated after single oral intravenous and oral administration in mice. Test compound was dissolved in 5% DMSO : 5% solutol-ethanol (1:1) and 90% normal saline and then intravenously administered at a dose of 1 mg/5 mL/kg. Test compounds were suspended or dissolved in 0.5% methyl cellulose containing 0.2% Tween 80 or 50% polyethylene glycol 400 and then orally administered at a dose of 3 mg/10 mL/kg. Blood samples were collected from the mice in predetermined times through composite sampling design (2 times/head; n=3/time point) and plasma was separated from blood samples after centrifugation. The concentration of test compound in each sample was analyzed to obtain the plasma concentration profiles. Oral bioavailability was calculated as following equation;
  • The compounds of the present invention show excellent bioavailability according to the oral administration, along with improved pharmacokinetic characteristics.
