Description:
ALLOSTERIC CHROMENONE INHIBITORS OF PHOSPHOINOSITIDE 3-KINASE (PI3K) FOR THE TREATMENT OF DISEASE

Field

[1] The present invention is directed to allosteric chromenone inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3- kinase (PI3K) useful in the treatment of diseases, or disorders associated with PI3K modulation. The invention is directed toward compounds, and compositions which inhibit PI3K, methods of (or uses for) treating a disease, or disorder associated with PI3K (e.g., CLOVES syndrome (congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, epidermal naevi, scoliosis/skeletal and spinal syndrome), PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndrome (PROS), breast cancer, brain cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer, gastric cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, sarcoma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, skin cancer, or head and neck cancer), and using, or methods of using, PI3K inhibitors in combination with one or more additional cancer therapies.

Background

[2] The activity of cells can be regulated by external signals that stimulate, or inhibit intracellular events. The process by which stimulatory, or inhibitory signals are transmitted into, and within a cell to elicit an intracellular response is referred to as signal transduction. Over the past decades, cascades of signal transduction events have been elucidated, and found to play a central role in a variety of biological responses. Defects in various components of signal transduction pathways have been found to account for a vast number of diseases, including numerous forms of cancer, inflammatory disorders, metabolic disorders, vascular, and neuronal diseases (Gaestel et al. Current Medicinal Chemistry (2007) 14:2214-2234).

[3] Kinases represent a class of important signaling molecules. Kinases can generally be classified into protein kinases, lipid kinases, and certain kinases exhibiting dual specificities. Protein kinases are enzymes that phosphorylate other proteins and/or themselves (i.e., autophosphorylation). Protein kinases can be generally classified into three major groups based upon their substrate utilization: tyrosine kinases which predominantly phosphorylate substrates on tyrosine residues (e.g., erb2, PDGF receptor, EGF receptor, VEGF receptor, src, abl), serine/threonine kinases which predominantly phosphorylate substrates on serine and/or threonine residues (e.g., mTorCl, mTorC2, ATM, ATR, DNA-PK, Akt), and dual-specificity kinases which phosphorylate substrates on tyrosine, serine and/or threonine residues.

[4] Lipid kinases are enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of lipids within cells. These enzymes, and the resulting phosphorylated lipids, and lipid-derived biologically active organic molecules, play a role in many different physiological processes, including cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and differentiation. A particular group of lipid kinases comprises membrane lipid kinases, i.e., kinases that catalyze the phosphorylation of lipids contained in, or associated with cell membranes. Examples of such enzymes include phosphoinositide(s) kinases (such as PI3 -kinases, PI4-Kinases), diacylglycerol kinases, and sphingosine kinases.

[5] The phosphoinositide 3 -kinases (PI3Ks) signaling pathway is one of the most highly mutated systems in human cancers. PI3K signaling is involved in many other disease states including allergic contact dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, disorders related to diabetic complications, and inflammatory complications of the cardiovascular system such as acute coronary syndrome.

[6] PI3Ks are members of a unique, and conserved family of intracellular lipid kinases that phosphorylate the 3 ’-OH group on phosphatidylinositols, or phosphoinositides. The PI3K family comprises 15 kinases with distinct substrate specificities, expression patterns, and modes of regulation (Katso et al., Annu Rev Cell Dev Biol. 2001;17:615-75). The class I PI3Ks (pl 10a, pl 1 OP, pl 106, and pl 10y) are typically activated by tyrosine kinases, or G-protein coupled receptors to generate PIP3, which engages downstream effectors such as those in the pathways of Akt/PDKl, mTOR, the Tec family kinases, and the Rho family GTPases. The class II, and III PI3Ks play a key role in intracellular trafficking through the synthesis of PI(3)P, and PI(3,4)P2.

[7] The PI3K isoforms have been implicated, for example, in a variety of human cancers, and disorders. Mutations in the gene coding for PI3K isoforms, or mutations which lead to upregulation of a PI3K isoform are believed to occur in many human cancers. Mutations in the gene coding for a PI3K isoform are point mutations clustered within several hotspots in helical, and kinase domains. Because of the high rate of PI3K mutations, targeting of this pathway may provide valuable therapeutic opportunities.

[8] Genetic alterations in genes in PI3K signaling are believed to be involved in a range of cancers such as endometrial cancer, breast cancer, esophageal squamous-cell cancer, cervical squamous-cell carcinoma, cervical adenocarcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer, esophagogastric cancer, nerve-sheath tumor, head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma, melanoma, esophagogastric adenocarcinoma, soft-tissue sarcoma, prostate cancer, fibrolamellar carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, diffuse glioma, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, B-cell lymphoma, mesothelioma, adrenocortical carcinoma, renal non- clear-cell carcinoma, renal clear-cell carcinoma, germ-cell carcinoma, thymic tumor, pheochromocytoma, miscellaneous neuroepithelial tumor, thyroid cancer, leukemia, and encapsulated glioma (Goncalves MD, Hopkins BD, Cantley LC. Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase, Growth Disorders, and Cancer. N Engl J Med. 2018 Nov 22;379(21):2052-2062).

[9] The alpha (a) isoform of PI3K has been implicated, for example, in a variety of human cancers. Angiogenesis has been shown to selectively require the a isoform of PI3K in the control of endothelial cell migration. (Graupera et al, Nature 2008; 453; 662-6). Mutations in the gene coding for PI3Ka, or mutations which lead to upregulation of PI3Ka are believed to occur in many human cancers such as lung, stomach, endometrial, ovarian, bladder, breast, colon, brain, prostate, and skin cancers. Mutations in the gene coding for PI3Ka are point mutations clustered within several hotspots in helical, and kinase domains, such as E542K, E545K, and H1047R. Many of these mutations have been shown to be oncogenic gain-of-function mutations. Because of the high rate of PI3Ka mutations, targeting of this pathway may provide valuable therapeutic opportunities. While other PI3K isoforms such as PI3K6, or PI3Ky are expressed primarily in hematopoietic cells, PI3Ka, along with PI3KP, is expressed constitutively.

[10] Mutated PI3Ka has been implicated in brain metastases in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancers. Development of brain-penetrant PI3Ka inhibitors may provide improved therapeutic benefit over current PI3Ka inhibitors. (Fitzgerald et al., Association between PIK3CA mutation status and development of brain metastases in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. Ann Oncol 30:vl l0, 2019 (suppl 5)).

[11] Due to the central role of PI3Ka in regulating organismal glucose homeostasis, PI3K inhibition in patients often gives rise to hyperglycemia and/or hyperinsulinemia (Busaidy NL, et al, Management of metabolic effects associated with anticancer agents targeting the PI3K-Akt- mTOR pathway. J Clin Oncol 2012;30:2919-28). High levels of circulating insulin could potentially be mitogenic and/or antiapoptotic for cancer cells, and thus negate the antiproliferative effects of PI3K inhibitors (Blouin M-J, et al, Abstract 4615: The hyperinsulinemia caused by PI3K inhibitors attenuates their antineoplastic efficacy, but can be minimized by co-administration of metformin. Cancer Res 2013;73:4615).

[12] In the setting of cancer with mutated PI3Ka, one way to overcome the problem of compensatory production of insulin and/or glucose upon systemic PI3Ka inhibition would be to develop inhibitors with enhanced selectivity for mutant PI3Ka over wild-type PI3Ka. This would create an increased window for drug dosing to selectively inhibit the pathologic signaling of mutant PI3Ka in the cancer cells without affecting the wild-type PI3Ka in the host tissues that control systemic metabolism (Okkenhaug K, Graupera M, Vanhaesebroeck B. Targeting PI3K in Cancer: Impact on Tumor Cells, Their Protective Stroma, Angiogenesis, and Immunotherapy. Cancer Discov. 2016 Oct;6(10): 1090-1105), thus limiting toxicities, and permitting higher doses, and more complete inhibition of the drug target (Ariella B. Hanker, et al, Challenges for the clinical development of PI3K inhibitors: Strategies to improve their impact in solid tumors. Cancer Discov. 2019 Apr; 9(4): 482-491).

[13] Currently PI3Ka inhibitors are nearly equipotent to wild-type, and mutant PI3Ka. Mutant selective inhibitors have been elusive due to the PI3Ka mutations location far from the active site. As such, inhibitors which target a second, peripheral binding pocket near a known mutation (e.g., H1047R) may provide a route to selective PI3Ka inhibition. Thus, targeting a mutated, peripheral binding pocket of PI3Ka, provides a valuable therapeutic target for drug development.

[14] As such, kinases, for example lipid kinases such as PI3Ks, are prime targets for drug development. The present invention provides a new class of kinase inhibitors.

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterised by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-)-i somers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomers or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.

[58] The term “patient”, or “subject” is a mammal, e.g., a human, mouse, rat, guinea pig, dog, cat, horse, cow, pig, or non-human primate, such as a monkey, chimpanzee, baboon, or rhesus. Preferably, the mammal is human.

[59] The term “therapeutically effective amount” when used in connection with a compound refers to the amount or dose of the compound which upon single or multiple dose administration to the patient, provides the desired effect in the patient under diagnosis or treatment. An effective amount can be determined by one skilled in the art by the use of known techniques and by observing results obtained under analogous circumstances. In determining the effective amount for a patient, a number of factors are considered by the attending diagnostician, including, but not limited to: the species of patient; its size, age, and general health; the specific disease or disorder involved; the degree of or involvement or the severity of the disease or disorder; the response of the individual patient; the particular compound administered; the mode of administration; the bioavailability characteristics of the preparation administered; the dose regimen selected; the use of concomitant medication; and other relevant circumstances.

[60] The term “treating” with regard to a subject, includes restraining, slowing, stopping, or reversing the progression or severity of an existing symptom or disorder.

[329] PI3K-Alpha kinase (PIK3CA) activity, wild-type and H1047R mutant and determining

IC50 values for inhibitors

[330] Recombinant, catalytically active human full length PIK3KA Wild-type and H1047R mutant were purchased as 1 : 1 complex of N-terminal 6X his tagged pl 10a (catalytic) and untagged p85a (regulatory subunit) from EMD Millipore Sigma (cat.no. 14-602M and 14-792M, respectively). PIP2diC8 (Avanti Polar Lipids Inc., cat.no.850185) or Soy PI (Avanti Polar Lipids Inc., cat. No. 840044P) was used as lipid substrate. PIP2diC8 or PI lyophilized powder was dissolved in milliQ water to a concentration of ImM just before use. lOmM stock compounds in DMSO were serially diluted 1 :3 to generate a 10-point curve and plated using an acoustic liquid handler system (Echo 550 series instrument, Labcyte). A 10X intermediate compound plate (200uM starting compound concentration and 10% DMSO) was prepared before starting the reaction. A typical reaction mixture (50 uL) comprised 40mM HEPES buffer, pH 7.4, 25 mM MgCh, 0.01% v/v triton-X-100, 1% v/v DMSO, 20 mM NaCl, 1-5 nM WT or H1047R PI3K protein, 20 uM ATP, and 50 uM PIP2diC8 or Soy PI. 1% DMSO buffer alone without test compound was employed as MAX control (full activity in the absence of any inhibitor), and no enzyme control was used to determine the level of background Adenosine 5'- diphosphate (ADP) (MIN control). First, Wild-type (WT) and H1047R mutant protein in kinase buffer with all components except ATP were incubated with or without compound at 27°C for Ih. After the pre-incubation, the reaction was initiated by the addition of 20uL of 50uM ATP (20uM final concentration). The reaction was allowed to proceed until about 10% conversion of ATP (2 uM ADP) at 27°C. After that time, 5 uL of reaction was mixed with 5 uL of ADP -Kinase Gio Reagent (ADP-Glo Kinase assay kit, Promega cat.no. V9102) supplemented with MgCh lOmM to stop the reaction and deplete the remaining ATP for 40 min at room temperature. Then, 10 uL of Kinase Detection Reagent (ADP-Glo Kinase assay kit, Promega cat.no. V9102) was added to simultaneously convert ADP to ATP and allow the newly synthesized ATP to be measured using a luciferase/luciferin reaction. After 30 min at room temperature the light generated was measured using a luminometer (EnVision plate reader, Perkin Elmer). Process data through Genedata- Screener tool. Relative IC50 values are determined using luminescence units by calculating percent inhibition with respect to on-plate “MIN” and “MAX” controls. Data was analyzed using a 4-parameter nonlinear logistic equation (four-parameter logistic concentration-response curve):

Y = bot + [(top-bot)/l+(x/IC50)slope] where Y = % inhibition, X = concentration yielding y% inhibition, Bottom = minimum value of y attained by curve, Top = maximum value of y attained by curve and Slope = steepness of curve at IC50.

%Inh = [(median Max- x/ median Max - median Min)] • 100

IC50: concentration of compound that reduces a given response (ligand binding, enzyme response) by 50%. IC50 relative: concentration giving half the compound’s maximum response. [331] For IC50 values shown in Table A, “A” means IC50 < 0.5 pM; “B” means IC50 ranging between 0.5 pM and 1.0 pM; “C” means IC50 ranging between 1 pM and 5 pM; “D” means IC50 ranging between 5 pM and 10 pM; “E” means IC50 > 10 pM.
