Definitions

• the present invention relates to new macrocyclic compounds, to a process for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
• the compounds of the present invention are new and have very valuable pharmacological characteristics.
• Nrf2 Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2
• bZIP basic leucine zipper
• Nrf2 represents a crucial regulator of the cellular defense mechanisms against xenobiotic and oxidative stress (Vomund S, Schafer, A, Parnham MJ, Briine B, and von Knethen A Int J Mol Sci. 2017 Dec; 18(12): 2772; Bischof LJM, Isoude A.
• Nrf2 is involved and modulating crucial cellular processes such as inflammation, autophagy, glucose and lipid metabolism, stem cell quiescence, and the unfolded protein response (reviewed in Yamamoto M, Kensler TW, Motohashi H (2016).
• Nrf2 activity turned out to be an attractive drug target for a number of important medical indications such as metabolic, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases (reviewed in Cuadrado A, Rojo AI, Wells G, Hayes JD, Cousin SP, Rumsey WL, ttucks OC, Franklin S, Levonen A-L, Kensler TW and Dinkova-Kostova AT Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 2019 volume 18, pages 295-317; Robledinos-Anton N, Fernandez-Gines R, Manda G, Cuadrado A. Oxid Med Cell Longev.
• Nrf2 is a crucial part of an evolutionarily conserved defense mechanism in mammals, and zebrafish, fruit fly and Caenorhabditis elegans have been shown to have similar anti-stress systems (reviewed by Fuse Y and Kobayashi M. Molecules. 2017 Mar; 22(3): 436). Nrf2 is ubiquitously and constitutively expressed in cells, thus ensuring their prompt protective response to oxidative, inflammatory, and metabolic stresses. The expression of Nrf2 is tightly regulated and under healthy/non-stressed conditions, low Nrf2 levels provide basal expression of its target genes.
• Nrf2 has a rapid turnover due to its constant degradation by the ubiquitin proteasome system (McMahon M, Thomas N, Itoh K, Yamamoto M, and Hayes JD, Journal of Biological Chemistry 2004 vol. 279, no. 30, pp. 31556-31567; Katoh Y, Iida K, Kang MI, Kobayashi A, Mizukami M, Tong KI, McMahon M, Hayes JD, Itoh K, Yamamoto M. Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, vol. 433, no. 2, pp. 342-350, 2005).
• Nrf2 Degradation of Nrf2 is regulated through binding to KEAPl (Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1), an adapter protein of E3 ubiquitin ligase.
• KEAPl Kerch-like ECH-associated protein 1
• Nrf2 degradation is blocked through liberation of Keapl, allowing Nrf2 accumulation and its translocation into the nucleus where it forms heterodimers with bZip proteins like small muscle aponeurosis fibromatosis (MAF) K, G, and F via the Nehl containing CNC-bZIP domain (Ma Q. Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, vol. 53, no. 1, pp.
• ARE Antioxidant Response Element
• KEAPl harbors two discrete structural domains, the BTB (broad complex, tramtrack and bric- a-brac) domain in the N-terminal region and the double glycine repeat (DGR; also called the Kelch domain) in the C-terminal region (Itoh K, Wakabayashi N, Katoh Y, Ishii T, Igarashi K, Engel JD and Yamamoto M Genes Dev. 1999 Jan 1; 13(1): 76-86). While the BTB domain contributes to the homodimerization of KEAPl and its interaction with CUL3, the Kelch domain mediates KEAPl binding to Nrf2 by interacting with the Neh2 domain.
• BTB broad complex, tramtrack and bric- a-brac domain
• DGR double glycine repeat
• the intervening region (IVR) of KEAPl resides between the BTB and the DGR/Kelch domains and is rich in reactive cysteine (Cys) residues that function as stress sensors. Twenty-seven and twenty- five Cys residues were identified in the human and mouse KEAPl proteins, respectively. Among these, Cysl51 in BTB domain and Cys273/288 in IVR are major sensor cysteine residues (Dinkova-Kostova, A.T., Holtzclaw, W.D., Cole, R.N., Itoh, K., Wakabayashi, N., Katoh, Y., Yamamoto, M., and Talalay, P. (2002). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
• Nrf2 inducers into four classes, namely class I (Cys 151 preferring), class P (Cys288 preferring), class PI (Cysl51/Cys273/Cys288 collaboration preferring) and class IV (Cysl51/Cys273/Cys288 independent) (Saito, R., Suzuki, T., Hiramoto, K., Asami, S., Naganuma, E., Suda, H., Iso, T., Yamamoto, H., Morita, M., Baird, L., et al. (2016). Mol. Cell. Biol. 36,271-284).
• Nrf2 activators or KEAPl inhibitors as their molecular target is KEAPl (Magesh S., Chen Y. and Hu L. Medicinal Research Reviews, 2012 vol. 32, no. 4, pp. 687-726), can be classified as electrophiles, protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibitors, and multi target drugs.
• PPI protein-protein interaction
• Nrf2 activators are electrophilic molecules that covalently modify one or more cysteine residues present in the thiol-rich KEAPl protein by oxidation or alkylation (Hur W., Gray N. S. Current Opinion in Chemical Biology. 2011 ;15(1): 162—173; Satoh T., McKercher S. R, Lipton S. A. Free Radical Biology & Medicine. 2013;65:645-657; Wilson A.
• Nrf2 activators to date are dimethyl fumarate (BG-12 or Tecfidera) and diroximel fumarate (DRF) from Biogen. Dimethyl fumarate as been approved in 2013 and DRF in 2019 for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) (Schimrigk S., Brune N., Hellwig
• dimethyl fumarate was authorized for the treatment of psoriasis (Hoxtermann S., Nuchel C, Altmeyer P. Dermatology. 1998;196 (2):223-230).
• the dimethyl fumarate-induced activation of Nrf2 in the central nervous system was described in the MS mice model of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (Linker R. A., Lee D. H., Ryan S., et al. Brain. 2011;134(3):678-692).
• dimethyl fumarate -dependent Nrf2 activation correlated with an improvement in the clinical course of MS, favored axon preservation, and increased astrocyte activation.
• Nrf2 activators interacting with the cysteine residues of Reap 1 by virtue of their electrophilic nature inherently also react with glutathione or thiol in proteins. Since such thiol-reactive chemicals have the potential to cause electrophilic damage in cells, chemicals that directly inhibit the protein-protein interaction (PPI) of Keapl and Nrf2 are emerging as attractive novel Nrf2 inducers (Bertrand, H. C., Schaap, M., Baird, L., Georgakopoulos, N. D., Fowkes, A., Thiollier, C., Kachi, H., Dinkova-Kostova, A. T., and Wells, G. (2015). J. Med. Chem.
• PPI inhibitors interfere with the docking of Nrf2 to the Kelch propeller of KEAP1 and most likely provide more selectivity over electrophilic compounds (Richardson B. G., Jain A. D., Speltz T. E., Moore T. W. Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters. 2015;25(11):2261- 2268). Based on the X-ray crystal structure of KEAP1, small PPI inhibitors have been designed to impede the binding of the DLG and ETGE motifs to KEAP1.
• the ETGE motif adopts a b- hairpin structure that docks to the Kelch propeller of KEAPl through specific hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions (Padmanabhan B., Tong K.
• Cys- 151 located at the BTB domain influences the interaction of KEAPl with CUL3.
• the crystal structure of the BTB domain bound to the pentacyclic triterpenoid 2-cyano-3,12-dioxo-oleana-l,9(ll)-dien-28-oate indicates that adduct formation with Cys-151 disrupts the interaction between KEAPl and CUL3 (Cleasby A., Yon J., Day P. J., et al.
• a new phase III clinical trial ofBardoxolone in patients with diabetic kidney disease has recently started by Kyowa Kirin to better define the safety and efficacy profiles of CDDO-Me.
• Bardoxolone is also in clinical studies for the Alport syndrome (phase 2/3 CARDINAL trial) and pulmonary hypertension (phase 3 CATALYST trial).
• Reata is developing Bardoxolone in rare forms of CKD including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), IgA nephropathy (IgAN), type 1 diabetic CKD (T1D CKD), and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
• ADPKD autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
• IgAN IgA nephropathy
• T1D CKD type 1 diabetic CKD
• FSGS focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
• RTA-408 Bardoxolone
• RTA-408 A second- generation derivative of Bardoxolone, called Omaveloxone (RTA-408), is under clinical investigation in the pivotal, registration, MOXIe trial for Friedreich’s ataxia (Lynch D. R., Farmer J., Hauser L. et al. Annals of Clinical Translational Neurology. 2019;6(1): 15-26; https://www.reatapharma.com/our-science/pipeline/).
• Nrf2 is a ubiquitin-binding protein that targets protein aggregates for degradation via the autophagic pathway.
• Nrf2 stabilization Korean M, Kurokawa H, Waguri S, Taguchi K, Kobayashi A, Ichimura Y, et al. Nat Cell Biol 2010; 12(3):213-23; Lau A, Wang XJ, Zhao F, Villeneuve NF, Wu T, Jiang T, et al.. Mol Cell Biol 2010; 30(13):3275-85).
• the p62 gene promoter contains an ARE and creates a Nrf2 driven positive feedback loop by inducing ARE-driven p62 gene transcription (Jain A, Lamark T, Sjottem E, Larsen KB, Awuh JA, Overvatn A, et al. J Biol Chem 2010; 285(29):22576-91). Since p62 is a cargo receptor for selective autophagy, Keapl- Nrf2 has an intriguing functional interaction with autophagy (Towers CG, Fitzwalter BE, Regan D, Goodspeed A, Morgan MJ, Liu CW, et al. Dev Cell 2019. 23; 50(6): 690-703. doi: 10.1016/j.devcel.2019.07.010).
• Nrf2 stability is regulated also by glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3 mediated phosphorylation.
• GSK-3 phosphorylates the DSGIS motif located in the Neh6 domain of Nrf2 and thereby creates a recognition site for b-transducin repeats containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (b-TrCP). This interaction targets Nrf2 to ubiquitin-dependent proteasome degradation (Rada PI, Rojo AI, Chowdhry S, McMahon M, Hayes JD, Cuadrado A. Mol Cell Biol. (2011) Mar;31(6): 1121-33). These data may suggest that GSK-3 inhibitors have utility as Nrf2 activators.
• Nrf2 activators Besides dimethyl fumarate for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and psoriasis, respectively, the broad therapeutic potential of Nrf2 activators are supported by a number of studies.
• Nrf2 knockout mice displayed greater hepatotoxicity, manifested in increased serum ALT values and altered hepatic histology, following acetaminophen exposure, relative to WT mice (Chan K, Han X, Kan Y. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2001 ;98:4611-4616; Enomoto A, Itoh K, Nagayoshi E, Haruta J, Kimura T, O'Connor T, Harada T, Yamamoto M. Toxicol Sci 2001;59:169-177).
• Acetaminophen was also shown to activate the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 at non-toxic doses thereby illustrating the role of Nrf2 in coordinating an adaptive response leading to attenuated acetaminophen toxicity (Goldring C, Kitteringham N, Elsby R, Randle L, Clement Y, Williams D, McMahon M, Hayes J, ItohK, Yamamoto M, Park B. Hepatology 2004;39:1267-1276). This adaptive response resulted in increased de novo synthesis of GSH and conjugation and excretion of reactive acetaminophen metabolites.
• conditional Keapl knockout mice a model in which the inhibitory component of the Nrf2 signaling pathway is absent resulting in elevated and sustained nuclear accumulation of Nrf2.
• conditional knockout mice were considerably more resistant to acetaminophen toxicity than WT mice due to higher levels of Nrf2-regulated cytoprotective enzymes (Okawa H, Motohashi H, Kobayashi A, Aburatani H, Kensler T, Yamamoto M. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2006;339:79-88).
• Nrf2 signaling by KEAP1 gene knockdown suppressed the onset of diabetes and when crossed with diabetic db/db mice, blood glucose levels became lower through improvement of both insulin secretion and insulin resistance.
• KEAPl knockdown also prevented high-calorie-diet-induced diabetes and oral administration of the Nrf2 inducer CDDO-Im also attenuated diabetes in db/db mice.
• Nrf2 induction altered antioxidant-, energy consumption-, and gluconeogenesis-related gene expression in metabolic tissues.
• KEAPl -Nrf2 system is a critical target for preventing the onset of diabetes mellitus (Uruno A, Furusawa Y, Yagishita Y,Toshiaki Fukutomi T, Muramatsu H, Negishi T, Sugawara A, Kensler TW, Yamamotoa M. Molecular and Cellular Biology 2013; 2996 -3010).
• Xue and colleagues investigated the impact of Nrf2 ablation in ob/ob mice.
• WAT white adipose tissue
• Nrf2 controls the capacity of WAT expansion and insulin sensitivity and maintains glucose and lipid homeostasis
• Nrf2 Nrf2 Reduction protein
• Nrf2 activators like Oltipraz or dimethyl fumarate protect isolated mouse beta cells against glucolipotoxicity by preserving mitochondrial function, glucose-dependent ROS turnover, and antagonizing glucolipotoxicity-induced inhibition of insulin release and apoptosis (Schultheis J, Beckmann D, Mulac D, Miiller L, Esselen M, Diifer M. Oxid Med Cell Longev. 2019 Nov 11;2019:7518510).
• Nrf2 An important role of Nrf2 in preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes in humans is supported by the identification of the Nrf2 rs6721961 polymorphism, a variant of the Nrf2 gene in the upstream promoter region. In a Chinese cohort this polymorphism is significantly associated with oxidative stress, anti-oxidative status, and risk of newly-diagnosed T2DM (Wang X, Chen H, Liu J, Ouyang Y, Wang D, Bao W and Liu L. Int JMol Sci. 2015; 16(7): 16483-16496).
• the SNP rs6721961 was initially identified to be associated with the risk of acute lung injury, an oxidative stress-mediated condition (Marzec J.M., Christie J.D., Reddy S.P., Jedlicka A.E., Vuong H., Lanken P.N., Aplenc R, Yamamoto T., Yamamoto M., Cho H.-Y. FASEB J. 2007;21:2237-2246).
• Nrf2 activation in the type 1 diabetes NOD mouse model by knocking down the expression of Keapl, inhibited T-cell infiltration within the islets, ameliorated impairment of insulin secretion and prevented the development of diabetes mellitus.
• Nrf2 activation decreased both the plasma interferon-g (IFN-g) levels and the IFN-y-positive cell numbers in the pancreatic islets, demonstrating that activation of Nrf2 signaling prevented the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus in NOD mice.
• IFN-g plasma interferon-g
• Nrf2 signaling prevented the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus in NOD mice.
• Nrf2 appears to be a potential target for the prevention and treatment of type 1 diabetes (Yagishita Y. et al. J Endocrinol. : JOE-18-0355. R2. Published online 2019 Jan 1. doi: 10.1530/JOE-18-0355).
• Nrf2 Oxidative stress and inflammation are the most important pathogenic events in the development and progression of liver diseases and multiple studies have shown that activation or suppression of Nrf2 significantly affects the progression of liver diseases (Xu D, Xu M, Jeong S, Qian Y, Wu H, Xia Q and Kong X. Front Pharmacol. 2018; 9: 1428). Nrf2 has been found to be a key regulator to protect against the development of NASH (Gupte A. A., Lyon C. J., Hsueh W. A. (2013).. Curr. Diabetes Rep. 13 362-371.
• Nrf2 has been found to cause benign steatosis that progresses to NASH and contributes to the exacerbation of disease status
• DKO mice showed massive hepatomegaly and steatohepatitis, hyperphagia-induced obesity coupled with insulin resistance and adipokine imbalance (Akiyama K, Warabi E, Okada K, Yanagawa T, Ishii T, Rose K, Tokushige K, Ishige K, Mizokami Y, Yamagata K, Onizawa K, Ariizumi SI, Yamamoto M, Shoda J. Exp Amm. 2018 May 10;67(2):201-218).
• Nrf2 Nrf2 activating small molecule
• Treatment with TBE31 reversed insulin resistance in high fat high fructose fed wild-type mice, but not in Nrf2-null mice.
• TBE-31 treatment mice substantially decreased liver steatosis and expression of lipid synthesis genes, while increasing hepatic expression of fatty acid oxidation and lipoprotein assembly genes.
• TBE-31 treatment decreased ER stress, expression of inflammation genes, and markers of apoptosis, fibrosis, and oxidative stress in the livers of high fat high fructose fed wild-type mice.
• TBE-31 did not decrease steatosis, ER stress, lipogenesis, inflammation, fibrosis, or oxidative stress in livers of HFFr-fed Nrf2-null mice.
• the authors concluded that pharmacologic activation of Nrf2 in mice that had already been rendered obese and insulin resistant reversed insulin resistance, suppressed hepatic steatosis, and mitigated against NASH and liver fibrosis.
• Nrf2 Nrf2-resistant liver and pancreatic injuries as well as pancreatic b-cell injury in these animals.
• Alcohol treatment resulted in substantially worsened liver and pancreatic injuries as well as pancreatic b-cell injury in these animals (Sun J, Fu J, Zhong Y, Li L, Chen C, Wang X, Wang L, Hou Y, Wang H, Zhao R, Zhang X, Yamamoto M, Xu Y, Pi J. Food Chem Toxicol. 2018 Nov;121:495-503).
• Nrf2 activators have potential utility for diseases/indications that are linked to increased oxidative stress and inflammation, impaired redox potential, impaired detoxification and deregulated metabolism.
