Description

SUBSTITUTED SPIROCYCLIC INHIBITORS OF AUTOTAXIN CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application daims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) of LES. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/975,123, filed on April 4,2014 and entitled ‘Substituted Spirocydic Inhibitors Of Autotaxin And Their Préparation And Use In The Treatment Of LPA-Dependent Or LPA-Mediated Diseases. The entire contents of the above-referenced application is incorporated herein by référencé.

FIELD AND BACKGROUND

Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted enzyme of the edonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family, and is also known as Edonucleotide Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase 2 (ENPP-2 or NPP2). ATX plays a rôle in driving pathological conditions, induding fibrosis, arthritic inflammation, neurodegeneration, neuropathie pain, and cancer. ATX is the fundamental regulator of the conversion of Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) to Lysophosphatidic Add (LPA). LPA is a bioadive lipid that affeds migration, prolifération, and survival of various cell types.

Inhibition of ATX has been shown to reduce LPA levels in pathological settings. Redudion of LPA may provide therapeutic benefits in diseases with unmet medical need, induding cancer, lymphocyte homing, chronic inflammation, neuropathie pain, fibrotic diseases such as Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), thrombosis, and cholestatic pruritus which are caused, mediated and/or propagated by increased LPA levels and/or adivation of ATX.

Fibrotic diseases are chronic, débilitât)ng and often léthal pathologies driven by a dysregulated response to tissue or organ injury. Fibrosis can develop in the liver, kidney, lung, denmis, vasculature, gut and other sites. Fibrosis develops due to action of pathways induding growth fadors, cytokines, integrin and lipids.

ATX, LPA, and LPA Receptor (LPAR) pathways hâve been implicated in fibrotic disease. For example, profiling studies show increased levels of ATX, LPA and LPARs in various rodent models of fibrosis and in human patient fluids and biopsy tissue. LPA can induce proliférative, survival, and chemotadic responses in transformed ceti fines, indicating that LPA may exert pro-inflammatory and profibrotic responses in cells known to be critical in fibrotic disease, induding: fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, macrophages, épithélial and endothélial cells, and leukocytes. Gene-targeted mouse models hâve implicated LPARs in fibrosis pathogenesis. Inhibitors of LPARs indicate that antagonism of receptors within this pathway blocked or reversed fibrosis in the lung, liver, kidney and skin in rodents. Cell typespecific gene targeting studies hâve showed that ATX plays a role in the development of lung fibrosis and inflammatory arthritis.

ATX and LPA hâve also been implicated in tumor progression and metastasis. ATX may be responsible for increased LPA levels in ascites and plasma of ovarian cancer patients since ATX couverts LPC to LPA. Increased levels of LPA, attered receptor expression and altered responses to LPA may contribute to initiation, progression or outcome of ovarian cancer. LPA has also been linked to prostate, breast, melanoma, head and neck, bowel, brain and thyroid cancers.

LPA has been shown to promote tumor cell survival, prolifération, invasion and migration into neighboring tissues, which can resuit in the formation of métastasés. Additionally, LPA promûtes cytoskeletal remodeling that may enhance migratory and invasive properties of cells, which may contribute to cancer metastasis, These biological and pathobiological processes of LPA are initiated through the activation of G-protein coupled receptors.

Transcriptome analyses of more than 350 normal tissues and more than 1700 malignant tissues demonstrate that ATX is expressed in a variety of carcinomas and sarcomas, underscoring the potential contribution of LPA to metastatic disease.

Accordingly, when treating patients with diseases, such as cancer, lymphocyte homing, chronic inflammation, neuropathie pain, fibrotic diseases, thrombosis, and cholestatic pruritus it is désirable to lower LPA levels. This can be accomplished through inhibition of enzymes involved in LPA biosynthesis, such as ATX.

Since ATX is expressed in tumors and affects tumor cell prolifération and invasion into neighboring tissues both of which can lead to the formation of métastasés, ATX is a target for anti-tumor therapy. Moreover, in angiogenesis, ATX, taken with other anti-angiogenetic factors, brings about blood vessel formation. Angiogenesis supplies tumors with nutrients during tumor growth. Therefore, inhibition of angiogenesis is a target for anti-tumor therapy, leading to starvation of a tumor.

ATX has also been implicated in nerve injury-induced neuropathie pain. LPA biosynthesis, through ATX, is the source of LPA for LPA1 receptor-mediated neuropathie pain. Therefore, targeted inhibition of ATX-mediated LPA biosynthesis may represent a novel treatment to prevent nerve injuryinduced neuropathie pain.

Various publications refer to compounds that are capable of inhibiting ATX, including: WO2013061297, WO2012166415, US20120100592, W02012024620. WQ2011116867, WO2011017350, WO2011006569, WO2010115491, WO2010115491, W02010112124, W02010112116, WO2010063352, US20100016258, and WO2009151644.

Accordingly, there remains a need for ATX inhibitors having the potential to reach the clinic and obtain regulatory approval for use in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of physiological and/or pathophysiological conditions, such as cancer, lymphocyte homing, chronic inflammation, neuropathie pain, fibrotic diseases, thrombosis, and cholestatic pruritus which are caused, mediated and/or propagated by increased LPA levels and/or the activation of ATX.
