Description

DESCRIPTION

1-cyano-pyrrolidine compounds as USP30 inhibitors

The present invention relates to new compounds and methods for the manufacture of desubiquitinating enzyme inhibitors (DUB). In particular, the invention relates to the inhibition of C-terminal ubiquitin hydrolase 30 (USP30). The invention further relates to the use of DUB inhibitors in the treatment of conditions involving mitochondrial dysfunction and in the treatment of cancer.

Background of the invention

The listing or discussion of an apparently previously published document in this specification should not necessarily be taken as an acknowledgment that the document is part of the state of the art or is common general knowledge.

Ubiquitin is a small protein consisting of 76 amino acids that is important for the regulation of protein function in the cell. Ubiquitination and deubiquitination are enzymatically mediated procedures by which ubiquitin is covalently bound to or cleaved from a target protein by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUB), of which there are approximately 95 DUB in human cells, divided into subfamilies based on sequence homology . The USP family is characterized by its common Cys and His boxes that contain Cys and His residues critical for its DUB activities. The processes of ubiquitination and desubiquitination have been implicated in the regulation of many cellular functions, including cell cycle progression, apoptosis, modification of cell surface receptors, regulation of DNA transcription, and DNA repair. Therefore, the ubiquitin system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous disease states including inflammation, viral infection, metabolic dysfunction, CNS disorders, and oncogenesis (Clague et al., Physiol Rev 93: 1289-1315, 2013).

Ubiquitin is a master regulator of mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondria are dynamic organelles whose biogenesis, fusion, and fission events are regulated by post-translational regulation through the ubiquitination of many key factors such as mitofusins. While ubiquitin ligases such as parkin are known to ubiquitinate a number of mitochondrial proteins, until recently, deubiquitinating enzymes remained elusive. USP30 is a 517 amino acid protein found in the mitochondrial outer membrane (Nakamura et al., Mol Biol 19: 1903-11, 2008). It is the only desubiquitinating enzyme that carries a mitochondrial targeting signal and has been shown to desubiquitin several mitochondrial proteins. USP30 has been shown to oppose parkin-mediated mitophagy and that reduction of USP30 activity can rescue parkin-mediated defects in mitophagy (Bingol et al., Nature 510: 370-5, 2014).

Mitochondrial dysfunction can be defined as a decrease in mitochondrial content (mitophagy or mitochondrial biogenesis), as a decrease in mitochondrial activity and oxidative phosphorylation, but also as a modulation of the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Hence a role for mitochondrial dysfunctions in a host of aging procedures and pathologies including, but not limited to, neurodegenerative diseases (eg, Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), muscular sclerosis), cancer, diabetes, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, psychiatric diseases (eg, schizophrenia), and osteoarthritis.

For example, Parkinson's disease affects around 10 million people worldwide (Parkinson's Disease Foundation) and is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. The exact mechanisms underlying PD are unclear; however, mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly being appreciated as a key determinant of neuronal dopaminergic susceptibility in PD and is a feature of familial and sporadic disease, as well as toxin-induced parkinsonism. Parkin is one of several proteins that have been linked to early-onset PD. While most PD cases are related to defects in alpha-synuclein, 10% of Parkinson's cases are related to specific genetic defects, one of which is in ubiquitin E3 ligase parkin. Parkin and putative kinase 1 induced by the PTEN protein kinase (PINK1) collaborate to ubiquitinate the mitochondrial membrane proteins of damaged mitochondria, resulting in mitophagy. Dysregulation of mitophagy results in increased oxidative stress, which has been described as a feature of PD. Therefore, inhibition of USP30 could be a potential strategy for the treatment of PD. For example, PD patients with parkin mutations leading to reduced activity could be compensated therapeutically by inhibiting USP30.

Depletion of USP30 has been reported to enhance mitophagic clearance from mitochondria and also enhance parkin-induced cell death (Liang et al., EMBO Reports 2015 DOI: 10,15252 / embr.201439820). USP30 has also been shown to regulate BAX / BAK-dependent apoptosis independently of parkin overexpression. Depletion of USP30 sensitizes cancer cells to BH-3 mimetics such as ABT-737, without the need for overexpression of parkin. Thus, an antiapoptotic role for USP30 has been demonstrated, and thus USP30 is a potential target for anticancer therapy.

To date, there have been no reports of DUB inhibitors successfully entering the clinic. Therefore, There is a need for compounds and pharmaceutical compositions to inhibit DUBs such as USP30 for the treatment of indications in which DUB activity is observed, including, but not limited to, conditions involving mitochondrial dysfunction and cancer.

Isotopes

The compounds described herein may contain one or more isotopic substitutions, and a reference to a particular element includes within its scope all isotopes of the element. For example, a reference to hydrogen includes within its scope 1H, 2H (D), and 3H (T). Similarly, references to carbon and oxygen include within their scope respectively 12C, 13C and 14C and 16O and 18O. Examples of isotopes include 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 36Cl, 18F, 123I, 125I, 13N, 15N, 15O, 17O, 18O, 32P, and 35S. Similarly, a reference to a particular functional group also includes isotopic variations within its scope, unless the context indicates otherwise. For example, a reference to an alkyl group such as an ethyl group also covers variations in which one or more of the group's hydrogen atoms are in the form of a deuterium or tritium isotope, e.g. ex. as in an ethyl group where the five hydrogen atoms are in the isotopic form of deuterium (a perdeuteroethyl group).

Isotopes can be radioactive or non-radioactive. In one embodiment, the compounds do not contain radioactive isotopes. These compounds are preferred for therapeutic use. In another embodiment, however, the compounds may contain one or more radioisotopes. Compounds containing such radioisotopes can be useful in a diagnostic context.

Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of formula (I) or formula (II), for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug studies and / or substrate tissue distribution. Radioactive isotopes, ie, 3H and 14C are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and easy means of detection. Substitution by heavier isotopes, i.e. 2H, may provide certain therapeutic benefits resulting from increased metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and may therefore be preferable in some circumstances. Substitution with positron-emitting isotopes, such as 11C, 18F, 15O, and 13N, may be useful in positron emission topography (PET) studies to examine receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds of formula (I) or formula (II) can generally be prepared by conventional means known to those skilled in the art or by procedures analogous to those described in the accompanying examples and preparations using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the previously used unlabeled reagent.
