Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is an intracellular monomeric, heme-containing enzyme that catalyzes the first and rate limiting step of L-tryptophan (Trp) catabolism along the kynurenine pathway, leading to the production of N-formylkynurenine. 95% of 15 Trp is metabolized through this kynurenine pathway. The kynurenine pathway (KYN) initiâtes the production of neuroactive and immunoregulatory métabolites, collectively known as kynurenines and provides precursors that supplément dietary niacin for the biosynthesis of NAD+ and NADP+.
By locally depleting tryptophan and increasing kynurenines, IDO1 expressed by antigen 20 presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells (plasmacystoid DCs in tumor draining lymph nodes) can greatly affect T-cell prolifération and survival and activate regulatory T cells thereby reducing proinflammatory responses. IDO1 can thus provide “immune privilège” to tissues subject to chronic inflammations such as infectious and allergie diseases, transplantation and cancer. Because such tolerogenic responses can be expected to operate in a variety of physiopathological conditions, tryptophan metabolism and kynurenine production through IDO1 might represent a crucial interface between the immune and nervous System. Expression of IDO1 is upregulated by proinflammatory cytokines and can be detected in a variety of tissues, including placenta, spleen,
thymus, lung, digestive tract, and central nervous System (reviewed in Munn et al. Trends Immunol, 2013, 34, 137-43).
IDO1 has emerged as a promising molecular target of new therapeutic agents for treating cancer as well as other diseases characterized by the réduction of local Trp levels and/or to imbalances in the level of cytotoxic métabolites produced by the kynurenine pathway (reviewed in Munn étal. Trends Immunol, 2013, 34, 137-43). Indeed inhibition of IDO1 activity as a therapeutic strategy has been tested in preclinical models of many diseases, with the most widely used IDO1 inhibitor, the tryptophan analogue L-1-methyltryptophan (L-1MT). Treatment with L-1MT, alone or in combination with other agents, attenuated disease severity in animal models of arthritis, ischemiareperfusion injury, endotoxin shock, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection, airway inflammation, and cancer (Uyttenhove et al., Nat Med, 2003, 9, 10, 1269-1274; Holmgaard et al., J Exp Med, 2013, 210, 7, 13891402), among others. For cancer, IDO1 induction has been observed in v/Voduring rejection of allogeneic tumors, indicating a possible rôle for this enzyme in the tumor rejection process (Uyttenhove et al., Nat Med, 2003, 9, 10, 1269-1274; Holmgaard et al., J Exp Med, 2013, 210, 7, 1389-1402). Cervical carcinoma cells (or HeLa cells) cocultured with peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) acquire an immuno-inhibitory phenotype through up-regulation of IDO1 activity. A réduction in PBL prolifération upon treatment with interleukin-2 (IL2) was believed to resuit from IDO1 released by the tumor cells in response to gamma interferon (IFN)-g (γ) sécrétion by the PBLs. IDO1 activity in tumor cells may thus serve to impair anti-tumor responses, a process in which IFNg plays a central rôle. Further evidence for a tumoral immune résistance mechanism based on tryptophan dégradation by IDO1 cornes from the observation that most human tumors constitutively express IDO1, and that expression of IDO1 by immunogenic mouse tumor cells prevents their rejection (reviewed in Munn et al., Front Biosci, 2012, 4, 734-45; Godin-Ethier et al. Clin Cancer Res 2011,17, 6985-6991 ; Johnson et al. Immunol lnvest2012, 41, 6-7, 765-797). This effect is accompanied by a lack of accumulation of spécifie T cells at the tumor site and can be partly reverted by systemic treatment of mice with an inhibitor of IDO1, in the absence of noticeable toxicity (Holmgaard étal., J Exp Med, 2013, 210, 7, 1389-1402).
ID01 expression has been demonstrated by immunohistochemistry in a wide spectrum of cancer patients. IDO1 mRNA, protein or modification of the ratio of tryptophan and kynurenine in the blood hâve been detected in patients with malignant melanoma, acute myelogenous leukemia, pancreatic, colorectal, prostate, cervical, brain, endométrial and 5 ovarian cancers amongst others. In several malignancies, the presence of IDO1 is an independent predictor of a worse clinical outcome (reviewed in Munn et al., Front Biosci,
2012, 4, 734-45)
Although the potential of the IDO1 inhibitors as pharmaceutical agents has generated a significant interest, the initial inhibitors were identified by modification of Trp but not the 10 discovery of molécules bearing novel structural skeleton. In the early 2000’s, the best
IDO1 inhibitors were mainly comprised of compétitive Trp dérivatives (like L-1-MT) and noncompetitive carbolines, which displayed affinities in the micromolar range. Since 2006, some potent nanomolar IDO1 inhibitors with novel structural skeleton hâve been discovered by high throughput screening, computational screening or natural product isolation and optimization of the core pharmacophores in the structures. Many of these
IDO1 inhibitors possess low micromolar activities or limited pharmacokinetics. Two
IDO1 inhibitors are currently being tested in phase l/ll clinical trials for the treatment of relapsed or refractory solid tumors (reviewed in Dolusic et al., Expert Opin Ther Pat.
2013, 23, 1367-81).
In parallel, the importance of awakening and solidifying tumor immune surveillance is now widely accepted as an important aspect of anti-cancer therapy (Motz et al., Immunity, 2013, 39, 1, 61-73). Immunoscoring of infiltrating T cell subsets is under development as biomarker approach and will allow to détermine the patients’ responsiveness to treatment (Galon et al., J Transi Med, 2012, 10, 1). Hence, it is still of major interest to find new potent IDO1 inhibitors.
Therefore, there is a need for new IDO1 inhibitors with improved efficacy for cancer treatment and/or prévention.

In one embodiment, preferred compounds of Formula I are those of Formula I’ or I”
and pharmaceutically acceptable, salts, solvatés and prodrugs thereof, wherein X, R1 and R2are as defined in Formula I.
As described herein , a racemic compound of Formula I may contain about 50% of a compound of Formula Γ and about 50% of Formula I” based on a molar ratio (about 48 to about 52 mol %, or about a 1:1 ratio)) of one of the isomers. In another embodiment, a composition, médicament, or method of treatment may involve combining separately produced compounds of Formula Γ and Formula I” in an approximately equal molar ratio (about 48 to 52 %). In another embodiment, a médicament or pharmaceutical composition may contain a mixture of separate compounds of Formula I’ and Formula I” in different ratios. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition contains an excess (greater than 50%) of the R-enantiomer (Formula Γ). Suitable molar ratios of R/S may befrom about 1.5 :1,2 :1, 3 :1, 4 :1, 5 :1, 10 :1, orhigher. In another embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition may contain an excess of the S-enantiomer (Formula I”), with the ratios provided for R/S reversed. Other suitable amounts of R/S may be selected. For example, the R- enantiomer may be présent in amounts of at least about 55% to 100%, or at least 65%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, about 95%, about 98%, or 100%. In other embodiments, the S-enantiomer
181
may be présent in a higher percentage, e.g., in amounts of at least about 55% to 100%, or at least 65%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, about 95%, about 98%, or 100%. Ratios between ail these exemplary embodiments as well as greater than and less than them while still within the invention, ail are included. (The term “ratio” as used herein (above and below) refers always to the molar ratio). Compositions may contain a mixture of the racemate and a separate compound of Formula I’ and/or Formula I”, in free base and/or in sait form.
Optionally, the racemate, or one or both of the enantiomers, may be deuterated. Such deuterated compounds may be in sait form. For example, the deuterated stereoisomers may be characterized by the structure:
la' wherein X(or Xa), R1, and R2 are as defined above in Formula I and la. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it has been described in the literature generally that one enantiomer (isomer or stereoisomer) can convert in plasma to the racemate and/or to the other enantiomer. It is believed that deutération at the chiral center of these compounds slows the conversion of the individual stereoisomers to the racemate and/or the other stereoisomer in plasma.

HPLC, such as but not limited to using a Chiralpak® AS-H, Chiralcel® OJ-H or φ -31Chiralpak® IC column, using as eluents mixtures of appropriate solvents such as but not limited to supercritical CO2, éthanol, methanol, hexane.
According to one embodiment, the optional séparation of the enantiomers of Formula I’ and I” starting from the corresponding compound of Formula I can be achieved by resolution using optically pure acids, such as but not limited to camphosulfonic acid or tartaric acid, or with optically pure bases, such as but not limited to brucine, depending on the nature of the compound of Formula I.
In general, the synthesis pathways for any individual compound of Formula I will dépend on the spécifie substituents of each molécule and upon the ready availability of intermediates necessary; again such factors being appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art.
According to a further general process, compounds of Formula I can be converted to alternative compounds of Formula I, employing suitable interconversion techniques well known by a person skilled in the art.
Compounds of the Formula I and related formulae can furthermore be obtained by liberating compounds of the Formula I from one of their functional dérivatives by treatment with a solvolysing or hydrogenolysing agent.
Preferred starting materials for the solvolysis or hydrogenolysis are those which conform to the Formula I and related formulae, but contain corresponding protected amino and/or 20 hydroxyl groups instead of one or more free amino and/or hydroxyl groups, preferably those which carry an amino-protecting group instead of an H atom bonded to an N atom, in particular those which carry an R*-N group, in which R* dénotés an aminoprotecting group, instead of an HN group, and/or those which carry a hydroxyl-protecting group instead of the H atom of a hydroxyl group, for example those which conform to 25 the Formula I, but carry a -COOR** group, in which R** dénotés a hydroxyl-protecting group, instead of a -COOH group.
It is also possible for a plurality of - identical or different - protected amino and/or hydroxyl groups to be présent in the molécule of the starting material. If the protecting groups présent are different from one another, they can in many cases be cleaved off 30 selectively.
φ -32The term “amino-protecting group” is known in general terms and relates to groups which are suitable for protecting (blocking) an amino group against chemical reactions, but which are easy to remove after the desired chemical reaction has been carried out elsewhere in the molécule. Typical of such groups are, in particular, unsubstituted or 5 substituted acyl, aryl, aralkoxymethyl or aralkyl groups. Since the amino-protecting groups are removed after the desired reaction (or reaction sequence), their type and size are furthermore not crucial; however, preference is given to those having 1-20, in particular 1-8, carbon atoms. The term “acyl group” is to be understood in the broadest sense in connection with the présent process. It includes acyl groups derived from aliphatic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic carboxylic acids or sulfonic acids, and, in particular, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl and especially aralkoxycarbonyl groups. Examples of such acyl groups are alkanoyl, such as acetyl, propionyl and butyryl; aralkanoyl, such as phenylacetyl; aroyl, such as benzoyl and tolyl; aryloxyalkanoyl, such as POA; alkoxycarbonyl, such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, 2,2,215 trichloroethoxycarbonyl, BOC (tert-butoxycarbonyl) and 2-iodoethoxycarbonyl; aralkoxycarbonyl, such as CBZ (carbobenzoxy), 4-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl and FMOC; and arylsulfonyl, such as Mtr. Preferred amino-protecting groups are BOC and Mtr, furthermore CBZ, Fmoc, benzyl and acetyl.
The term “hydroxyl-protecting group” is likewise known in general terms and relates to 20 groups which are suitable for protecting a hydroxyl group against chemical reactions, but are easy to remove after the desired chemical reaction has been carried out elsewhere in the molécule. Typical of such groups are the above-mentioned unsubstituted or substituted aryl, aralkyl or acyl groups, furthermore also alkyl groups. The nature and size of the hydroxyl-protecting groups are not crucial since they are removed again after the desired chemical reaction or reaction sequence; preference is given to groups having 1-20, in particular 1-10, carbon atoms. Examples of hydroxylprotecting groups are, inter alia, benzyl, 4-methoxybenzyl, p-nitrobenzoyl, ptoluenesulfonyl, tert-butyl and acetyl, where benzyl and tert-butyl are particularly preferred.
The compounds of the Formula I and related formulae are liberated from their functional dérivatives - depending on the protecting group used - for example strong inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, perchloric acid orsulfuric acid, strong organic
-33carboxylic acids, such as trichloroacetic acid, TFA or sulfonic acids, such as benzeneor p-toluenesulfonic acid. The presence of an additional inert solvent is possible, but is not always necessary. Suitable inert solvents are preferably organic, for example carboxylic acids, such as acetic acid, ethers, such as THF or dioxane, amides, such as DMF, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane, furthermore also alcohols, such as methanol, éthanol or isopropanol, and water. Mixtures of the above-mentioned solvents are furthermore suitable. Trifluoracetic acid (TFA) is preferably used in excess without addition of a further solvent, and perchloric acid is preferably used in the form of a mixture of acetic acid and 70% perchloric acid in the ratio 9:1. The reaction températures for the cleavage are advantageously between about 0 and about 50°C, preferably between 15 and 30°C (room température).
The BOC, OtBu and Mtr groups can, for example, preferably be cleaved off using TFA in dichloromethane or using approximately 3 to 5N HCl in dioxane at 15-30°C, and the FMOC group can be cleaved off using an approximately 5 to 50% solution of dimethylamine, diethylamine orpiperidine in DMF at 15-30°C.
Protecting groups which can be removed hydrogenolytically (for example CBZ, benzyl or the libération of the amidino group from the oxadiazole dérivative thereof) can be cleaved off, for example, by treatment with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst (for example a noble-metal catalyst, such as palladium, advantageously on a support, such as carbon). Suitable solvents here are those indicated above, in particular, for example, alcohols, such as methanol or éthanol, or amides, such as DMF. The hydrogenolysis is generally carried out at températures between about 0 and 100°C and pressures between about 1 and 200 bar, preferably at20-30°C and 1-10 bar. Hydrogenolysis of the CBZ group succeeds well, for example, on 5 to 10% Pd/C in methanol or using ammonium formate (instead of hydrogen) on Pd/C in methanol/DMF at 20-30°C.
Examples of suitable inert solvents are hydrocarbons, such as hexane, petroleum ether, benzene, toluene or xylene; chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as trichloroethylene, 1,2dichloroethane, tetrachloromethane, trifluoromethylbenzene, chloroform or dichloromethane; alcohols, such as methanol, éthanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, nbutanol or tert-butanol; ethers, such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane; glycol ethers, such as ethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether
or ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglyme); ketones, such as acetone or butanone; amides, such as acetamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or dimethyl-formamide (DMF); nitriles, such as acetonitrile; sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); carbon disulfide; carboxylic acids, such as formic acid or acetic acid;
nitro compounds, such as nitromethane or nitrobenzene; esters, such as ethyl acetate, or mixtures of the said solvents.
Esters can be hydrolysed, for example, using HCl, H2SO4, or using LiOH, NaOH or KOH in water, water/THF, water/THF/ethanol or water/dioxane, at températures between 0 and 100°C.
Free amino groups can furthermore be acylated in a conventional manner using an acyl chloride or anhydride or alkylated using an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl halide, advantageously in an inert solvent, such as dichloromethane or THF and/or in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine or pyridine, at températures between -60°C and +30°C.
