Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel amide compounds, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, methods for preparing thereof, and uses thereof.
  • the amino acid L-tryptophan (L-Trp) is mainly catabolized via the so-called “kynurenine pathway” , i.e., the metabolic cascade that converts it into L-kynurenine.
  • the first step, from L-tryptophan to N-formyl-L-kynurenine is the rate-limiting step of the kynurenine metabolic pathway.
  • IDO1 indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase 1
  • IDO2 indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase 2
  • TDO tryptophan 2, 3-dioxygenase
  • IDO1 as a 45Kd monomer, is a cytosolic haem enzyme encoded by the INDO gene on human chromosome 8p22. It is expressed ubiquitously in various tissues and cells throughout the body, including immune cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts.
  • the expression of IDO1 is mainly regulated by inflammatory cues, such as IFN ⁇ , CpG-DNA, and LPS.
  • IDO2 is encoded by the INDOL1 gene, and is structurally very similar to IDO1 with about 42%similarity at the amino acid level, but is of very low enzymatic activity based on in vitro studies. In addition, the high incidence of genetic polymorphisms exist for human IDO2, abolishing the enzyme’s function.
  • TDO is encoded by the TDO2 gene, and expressed in high levels in the liver, and is functionally related to IDO1 and IDO2, but structural similarities at the amino acid level are only 10%.
  • TDO was thought to be mainly responsible for L-tryptophan homoeostasis in the body. More recently, studies have found that certain tumors mediate the tolerance of tumor cells to the host's immune system by highly expressing TDO. No TDO expression in host immune cells has been documented so far.
  • IDO1 expression is closely related to the occurrence and development of cancers.
  • some pro-inflammatory mediators such as IFN ⁇ can induce the expression of IDO1 in tumor cells or host immune cells (mainly antigen presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, macrophages, etc. ) .
  • IDO1 catalyze the metabolic reaction of L-tryptophan, through simultaneously reducing the concentration of L-tryptophan and increasing the production of L-kynurenine and its further metabolites (such as 3-hydroxykynurenine and 3-hydroxy-2-aminobenzoic acid, etc. ) to inhibit the proliferation of effector lymphocytes, such as T cells and NK cells, and induce their entry into cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
  • effector lymphocytes such as T cells and NK cells
  • the immunosuppressive regulatory T cells are up-regulated, thereby helping the tumor cells to escape the host's immune surveillance and obtain a chance of malignant growth.
  • IDO1 small molecule inhibitors such as INCB024360 (Epacadostat) and NLG919 to inhibit IDO1 protein activity
  • IDO1 small molecule inhibitors such as INCB024360 (Epacadostat) and NLG919 to inhibit IDO1 protein activity
  • some IDO1 inhibitors such as INCB024360, BMS-986205, and Pf-06840003
  • IDO1/TDO small molecule inhibitors such as NLG919
  • IDO1 is a potential target for the treatment of malignancies (ESMO, 2016, Abstract 1110PD; ASCO, 2017, Abstract 4503; JCO. 2017.35 (15 suppl) : Abstract 1103; JCO. 2017.35 (15 suppl) : Abstract 3003; Cancer Res., 2017, 77 (13 Suppl) : Abstract CT116; Analyst and Investor Day Meeting, NewLink Genetics Corporation, October 25, 2016) .
  • IDO1 inhibitors may also be used to develop treatments for these diseases (Trends Immunol., 2013, 34 (3) : 137-143) .

  • substituted or “substituted with...” , as used herein, means that one or more hydrogens on the designated atom or group are replaced with one or more selections from the indicated group of substituents, provided that the designated atom's normal valence is not exceeded.
  • 2 hydrogens on a single atom are replaced by the oxo.
  • substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in a chemically correct and stable compound.
  • a chemically correct and stable compound is meant to imply a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive sufficient isolation from a reaction mixture to be able to identify the chemical structure of the compound, and also sufficiently robust to allow subsequent formulation as an agent having at least one practical utility.
  • substituents are named into the core structure. For example, it is to be understood that when (cycloalkyl) alkyl is listed as a possible substituent, the point of attachment of this substituent to the core structure is in the alkyl portion.
  • substituted with one or more substituents means that one or more hydrogens on the designated atom or group are independently replaced with one or more selections from the indicated group of substituents. In some embodiments, “substituted with one or more substituents” means that the designated atom or group is substituted with 1, 2, 3, or 4 substituents independently chosen from the indicated group of substituents.

  • Methods for separation of isomers are well known (cf. Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in "Topics in Stereochemistry” , Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) and include physical methods such as chromatography using a chiral adsorbent.
  • Individual isomers can be prepared in chiral form from chiral precursors.
  • individual isomers can be separated chemically from a mixture by forming diastereomeric salts with a chiral acid, such as the individual enantiomers of 10-camphorsulfonic acid, camphoric acid, alpha-bromocamphoric acid, tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, malic acid, pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid, and the like, fractionally crystallizing the salts, and then freeing one or both of the resolved bases, optionally repeating the process, so as obtain either or both substantially free of the other; i.e., in a form having an optical purity of >95%.

  • solvates means solvent addition forms that contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent. Some compounds have a tendency to trap a fixed molar ratio of solvent molecules in the solid state, thus forming a solvate. If the solvent is water, the solvate formed is a hydrate, when the solvent is alcohol, the solvate formed is an alcoholate. Hydrates are formed by the combination of one or more molecules of water with one molecule of the substances in which the water retains its molecular state as H 2 O, such combination being able to form one or more hydrates, for example, hemihydrate, monohydrate, and dihydrate.

  • effective amount refers to an amount or dose of an IDO inhibiting agent sufficient to generally bring about a therapeutic benefit in patients in need of treatment for a disease or disorder mediated by IDO or at least in part by IDO.
  • Effective amounts or doses of the active ingredient of the present disclosure may be ascertained by methods such as modeling, dose escalation studies or clinical trials, and by taking into consideration factors, e.g., the mode or route of administration or drug delivery, the pharmacokinetics of the agent, the severity and course of the disease or disorder, the subject's previous or ongoing therapy, the subject's health status and response to drugs, and the judgment of the attending physician. In the United States, the determination of effective doses is generally difficult to predict from preclinical trials. In fact, the dose is completely unpredictable and the dose will develop a new unpredictable dosing regimen after initial use in a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial.
  • An exemplary dose is in the range of from about 0.0001 to about 200 mg of active agent per kg of subject's body weight per day, such as from about 0.001 to 100 mg/kg/day, or about 0.01 to 35 mg/kg/day, or about 0.1 to 10 mg/kg daily in single or divided dosage units (e.g., BID, TID, QID) .
