Definitions
- the present invention relates to pharmaceutical agents useful for therapy and/or prophylaxis in a mammal, and in particular to azepane compounds, pharmaceutical composition comprising such compounds, and their use as menin/MLL protein/protein interaction inhibitors, useful for treating diseases such as cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and diabetes.
- MDS myelodysplastic syndrome
- MLL mixed lineage leukemia gene
- KMT2A mixed lineage leukemia gene
- MLL is a histone methyltransferase that methylates histone H3 on lysine 4 (H3K4) and functions in multiprotein complexes.
- HSCs hematopoietic stem cells
- B cells histone methyltransferase activity is dispensable for hematopoiesis
- Menin which is encoded by the Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene is expressed ubiquitously and is predominantly localized in the nucleus. It has been shown to interact with numerous proteins and is, therefore, involved in a variety of cellular processes. The best understood function of menin is its role as an oncogenic cofactor of MLL fusion proteins. Menin interacts with two motifs within the N-terminal fragment of MLL that is retained in all fusion proteins, MBM1 (menin-binding motif 1) and MBM2 (Thiel et al., Bioessays 2012.34, 771-80). Menin/MLL interaction leads to the formation of a new interaction surface for lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF).
- LEDGF lens epithelium-derived growth factor
- menin is obligatory for the stable interaction between MLL and LEDGF and the gene specific chromatin recruitment of the MLL complex via the PWWP domain of LEDGF (Cermakova et al., Cancer Res 2014. 15, 5139-51; Yokoyama & Cleary, Cancer Cell 2008. 8, 36-46). Furthermore, numerous genetic studies have shown that menin is strictly required for oncogenic transformation by MLL fusion proteins suggesting the menin/MLL interaction as an attractive therapeutic target. For example, conditional deletion of Men1 prevents leukomogenesis in bone marrow progenitor cells ectopically expressing MLL fusions (Chen et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci 2006.103, 1018-23).
- menin/MLL fusion interaction by loss-of-function mutations abrogates the oncogenic properties of the MLL fusion proteins, blocks the development of leukemia in vivo and releases the differentiation block of MLL-transformed leukemic blasts.
- menin is required for the maintenance of HOX gene expression by MLL fusion proteins (Yokoyama et al., Cell 2005. 123, 207-18).
- small molecule inhibitors of menin/MLL interaction have been developed suggesting druggability of this protein/protein interaction and have also demonstrated efficacy in preclinical models of AML (Borkin et al., Cancer Cell 2015.

- the present invention also embraces isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature (or the most abundant one found in nature).
- isotopes and isotopic mixtures of any particular atom or element as specified herein are contemplated within the scope of the compounds of the invention, either naturally occurring or synthetically produced, either with natural abundance or in an isotopically enriched form.
- Exemplary isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine and iodine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C , 13N, 15O, 17O, 18O, 32P, 33P, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, 122I, 123I, 125I, 131I, 75Br, 76Br, 77Br and 82Br.
- the radioactive isotope is selected from the group of 2H, 3H, 11C and 18F. More preferably, the radioactive isotope is 2H.
- deuterated compounds are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
- Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention may be useful for example in substrate tissue distribution assays.
- Tritiated (3H) and carbon-l4 (14C) isotopes are useful for their ease of preparation and detectability.
- substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium i.e., 2H may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in some circumstances.
- R2 is selected from hydrogen or deuterium, in particular deuterium.
- Positron emitting isotopes such as 15O, 13N, 11C and 18F are useful for positron emission tomography (PET) studies.
- PET imaging in cancer finds utility in helping locate and identify tumours, stage the disease and determine suitable treatment.
- Human cancer cells overexpress many receptors or proteins that are potential disease-specific molecular targets.
- Radiolabelled tracers that bind with high affinity and specificity to such receptors or proteins on tumour cells have great potential for diagnostic imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy (Charron, Carlie L. et al. Tetrahedron Lett.2016, 57(37), 4119-4127).
- target-specific PET radiotracers may be used as biomarkers to examine and evaluate pathology, by for example, measuring target expression and treatment response (Austin R. et al. Cancer Letters (2016), doi:
