Field of the Invention

Present invention provides bifunctional compounds that comprise an E3 Ubiquitin Ligase moiety that is linked to a moiety that inhibit EGFR, where the target protein can be proximate to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation of said protein. Present compounds are useful for the treatment of various cancers.

Background of the Invention

The field of targeted protein degradation promoted by small molecules has been intensively studied over the last years ¹ .

Protein degradation plays a role in various cellular functions, i.e. the concentrations of regulatory proteins are adjusted through degradation into small peptides to maintain health and productivity of the cells.

Cereblon is a protein that forms an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, which ubiquinates various other proteins. Cereblon is known as primary target for anticancer thalidomide analogs. A higher expression of cereblon has been linked to the efficiency of thalidomide analogs in cancer therapy.

In the recent years, a few bifunctional compounds have been described as useful modulators of targeted ubiquitination, e.g. W02013020557 ² , W02013063560 ³ , WO 2013106643 ⁴ , WO2015160845 ⁵ , W02016011906 ⁶ , W02016105518 ⁷ , W02017007612 ⁸ , WO2017024318 ⁹ and WO2017117473 ¹⁰ .

EGFR inhibitors, in particular selective inhibitors of T790M containing EGFR mutants have been described for instance in W02014081718 ¹¹ , WO2014210354 ¹² and Zhou el alP

Bifunctional molecules for degradation of EGFR are described for instance in WO2017185036 ¹⁴ .

However, there is still an ongoing need for effective treatment of cancers.

Summary of the Invention

Present invention provides bifunctional compounds that comprise an E3 Ubiquitin Ligase moiety that is linked to a moiety that inhibit EGFR, where the target protein can be proximate to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation of said protein.

E18: A certain embodiment of the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of formula I as described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substance.

El 9: A certain embodiment of the invention relates to a method for the therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment of cancer, by administering the compound of formula I as described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to a patient.

Furthermore, the invention includes all optical isomers, i.e. diastereoisomers, diastereomeric mixtures, racemic mixtures, all their corresponding enantiomers and/or tautomers as well as their solvates of the compounds of formula I.

The compounds of formula I may contain one or more asymmetric centers and can therefore occur as racemates, racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomeric mixtures and individual diastereomers. Additional asymmetric centers may be present depending upon the nature of the various substituents on the molecule. Each such asymmetric center will independently produce two optical isomers and it is intended that all of the possible optical isomers and diastereomers in mixtures and as pure or partially purified compounds are included within this invention. The present invention is meant to encompass all such isomeric forms of these compounds. The independent syntheses of these diastereomers or their chromatographic separations may be achieved as known in the art by appropriate modification of the methodology disclosed herein. Their absolute stereochemistry may be determined by the x-ray crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline intermediates which are derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute configuration. If desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds may be separated so that the individual enantiomers are isolated. The separation can be carried out by methods well known in the art, such as the coupling of a racemic mixture of compounds to an enantiomerically pure compound to form a diastereo meric mixture, followed by separation of the individual diastereomers by standard methods, such as fractional crystallization or chromatography.

In the embodiments, where optically pure enantiomers are provided, optically pure enantiomer means that the compound contains > 90 % of the desired isomer by weight, particularly > 95 % of the desired isomer by weight, or more particularly > 99 % of the desired isomer by weight, said weight percent based upon the total weight of the isomer(s) of the compound. Chirally pure or chirally enriched compounds may be prepared by chirally selective synthesis or by separation of enantiomers. The separation of enantiomers may be carried out on the final product or alternatively on a suitable intermediate.

The compounds of formula I may be prepared in accordance with the schemes described in the examples. The starting material is commercially available or may be prepared in accordance with known methods.

The preparation of compounds of formula I is further described in more detail in the scheme below.

Scheme 1

A compound of general formula I can be obtained for example by Buchwald-Hartwig cross coupling of an appropriately substituted amine 1 with a corresponding chloropyridine 2 yielding the ester derivatives of formula 3. Ester hydrolysis followed by amide coupling with a boc-protected amino derivative 4 and subsequent deprotection yields the desired piperidine 5. Amide coupling or alkylation of 5 with an appropiate pomalidomide substituted derivative of formula 6 forms the desired final compound of general formula I (scheme 1).

Generally speaking, the sequence of steps used to synthesize the compounds of formula I can also be modified in certain cases. Isolation and purification of the compounds

Isolation and purification of the compounds and intermediates described herein can be effected, if desired, by any suitable separation or purification procedure such as, for example, filtration, extraction, crystallization, column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, thick-layer chromatography, preparative low or high-pressure liquid chromatography or a combination of these procedures. Specific illustrations of suitable separation and isolation procedures can be had by reference to the preparations and examples herein below. However, other equivalent separation or isolation procedures could, of course, also be used. Racemic mixtures of chiral compounds of formula I can be separated using chiral HPLC. Racemic mixtures of chiral synthetic intermediates may also be separated using chiral HPLC. Salts of compounds of formula

In cases where the compounds of formula I are basic they may be converted to a corresponding acid addition salt. The conversion is accomplished by treatment with at least a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, and organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methane sulfonic acid, ethane sulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid and the like. Typically, the free base is dissolved in an inert organic solvent such as diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, ethanol or methanol and the like, and the acid added in a similar solvent. The temperature is maintained between 0 °C and 50 °C. The resulting salt precipitates spontaneously or may be brought out of solution with a less polar solvent.

Insofar as their preparation is not described in the examples, the compounds of formula I as well as all intermediate products can be prepared according to analogous methods or according to the methods set forth herein. Starting materials are commercially available, known in the art or can be prepared by methods known in the art or in analogy thereto.

It will be appreciated that the compounds of general formula I in this invention may be derivatised at functional groups to provide derivatives which are capable of conversion back to the parent compound in vivo.

Pharmacological Tests

The compounds of formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts possess valuable pharmacological properties. The compounds were investigated in accordance with the test given hereinafter.

EGFR degradation assay (cellular)

Generation of BaF3 EGFR mutant cell lines

The BaF3 parental line was purchased from DSMZ and grown in RPMI media

supplemented with 10% FBS and 10 ng/mL interleukin 3 (IL-3) (Thermo Fisher Scientific). EGFR mutants (T790M/L853R, T790M/L853R/C797S) were cloned into the pCDH lentiviral vector (SystemBio) under the control of a PGK promoter and confirmed by DNA sequencing. The resulting gene expression vector for each mutant was mixed with packaging vectors and cotransfected into 2xlOE6 HEK293T cells (ATCC) in 10 mL of DMEM media to generate lentiviral particles according to the manufacturers protocol (Origene).

Three days post- transfection, the viral supernatant was harvested and filtered. In one well of a 12- well plate, 0.5 mL of viral supernatant was added to 2E6 Ba/F3 cells contained in 1.5 mL of RPMI media including 10% FBS, 10 ng/mL IL-3, and 5 pg/mL polybrene (Invitrogen). The plate was centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 1 hour at room temperature and infected cells were kept in a tissue culture incubator overnight at 37°C. The cells were washed once in fresh BaF3 media and reseeded at 0.5E6 cells/well of a l2-well plate in media supplemented with 0.5 pg/mL puromycin. The cells were maintained in this media for 3 weeks. IL-3 -independent, EGFR mutant transformed cells were routinely maintained in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% FBS.

Materials

RPMI 1640 no-phenol red medium and fetal bovine serum (FBS) were purchased from Gibco (Grand Island, NY, USA). EGFR total kit and EGFR phospho-Yl068 kit were purchased from Cisbio (Bedford, MA, USA). BaF3 EGFR mutant cell lines (EGFR T790M/L858R/C797S) cell line was generated in house, according to the protocol reported above. Cell culture flasks and 384- well microplates were acquired from VWR (Radnor, PA , USA).

EGFR degradation analysis

EGFR degradation was determined based on quantification of FRET signal using EGFR total kit. The FRET signal detected correlates with total EGFR protein level in cells. Briefly, test compounds were added to the 384- well plate from a top concentration of 1 mM with 11 points, half log titration in quadruplicates. Then, BaF3 EGFR mutant cell lines (EGFR T790M/L858R/C797S) were added into 384-well plates at a cell density of 10000 cells per well. The plates were kept at 37 °C with 5% C02 for 4 hours. After 4-hour incubation, 4X lysis buffer was added to the cells, and then then microplate was agitated on plate shaker at 500 rpm for 30 minutes at room temperature. Next, total EGFR antibody solution was added to the cells and the cells were incubated for another 4 hours at room temperature. Finally, FRET signal was acquired on EnVision™ Multilabel Reader (PerkinElmer, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The cells treated in the absence of the test compound were the negative control and lysis buffer with antibody solution only were the positive control.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The compounds of formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used as therapeutically active substances, e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical preparations. The pharmaceutical preparations can be administered orally, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatin capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions. The administration can, however, also be effected rectally, e.g. in the form of suppositories, or parenterally, e.g. in the form of injection solutions.

The compounds of formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be processed with pharmaceutically inert, inorganic or organic carriers for the production of pharmaceutical preparations. Lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acids or its salts and the like can be used, for example, as such carriers for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatin capsules. Suitable carriers for soft gelatin capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, semi-solid and liquid polyols and the like. Depending on the nature of the active substance no carriers are however usually required in the case of soft gelatin capsules. Suitable carriers for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, glycerol, vegetable oil and the like. Suitable carriers for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats, semi- liquid or liquid polyols and the like.

The pharmaceutical preparations can, moreover, contain pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances such as preservatives, solubilizers, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorants, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, masking agents or antioxidants. They can also contain still other therapeutically valuable substances.

Medicaments containing a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a therapeutically inert carrier are also provided by the present invention, as is a process for their production, which comprises bringing one or more compounds of formula I and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and, if desired, one or more other therapeutically valuable substances into a galenical administration form together with one or more therapeutically inert carriers.

The dosage can vary within wide limits and will, of course, have to be adjusted to the individual requirements in each particular case. In the case of oral administration the dosage for adults can vary from about 0.01 mg to about 1000 mg per day of a compound of general formula I or of the corresponding amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The daily dosage may be administered as single dose or in divided doses and, in addition, the upper limit can also be exceeded when this is found to be indicated.
