BACKGROUND

[0002] MET is a member of the class IV receptor tyrosine kinase family and is expressed on the surfaces of many different cell types, including epithelial cells of many organs, including the liver, pancreas, prostate, kidney, muscle, and bone marrow, during both embryogenesis and adulthood. Binding of the hepatocyte growth factor induces dimerization and activation of the receptor. MET modulates many essential cellular processes during development and wound healing, including cell proliferation, survival, motility, and morphogenesis. Aberrant MET activity is found in many different human cancers. Accordingly, therapies that target MET kinase activity are desired for use in the treatment of cancer and other disorders characterized by aberrant MET pathway signaling.

These terms refer to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including but not limited to therapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit. By “therapeutic benefit” is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient is still afflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, the compositions are, in some embodiments, administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease has not been made. MET Tyrosine Kinase

[0065] The MET protein is a member of the class IV receptor tyrosine kinase family and is expressed on the surfaces of many different cell types, including epithelial cells of many organs, such as liver, pancreas, prostate, kidney, muscle, and bone marrow, during both embryogenesis and adulthood. MET modulates many essential cellular processes during development and wound healing, including cell proliferation, survival, motility, and morphogenesis. Aberrant MET activity is found in many different human cancers, such as non-small cell lung cancer, medulloblastoma , lymphoma, melanoma, glioma, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer, as well as osteo- and some soft-tissue sarcomas. [0066] The c-MET proto-oncogene is located on chromosome 7q21-31 and its transcription is regulated by Ets (E-twenty six), Pax3 (paired box 3), AP2 (activator protein-2) and Tcf-4 (transcription factor 4). It is expressed as multiple mRNA transcripts of 8, 7, 4.5, 3 and 1.5 kilobases. The protein product of this gene is the MET receptor tyrosine kinase.

[0067] Structurally, MET is a single pass transmembrane protein with an extracellular domain, a transmembrane hydrophobic sequence and an intracellular portion that comprises the tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular domain of MET is composed of three domain types: a Semaphorin (Serna) domain, a PSI domain, and four immunoglobulin-plexin-transcription (IPT) domains. The N-terminal 500 residues fold to form the large Serna domain, which shares sequence homology with domains found in the semaphorin and plexin families. The PSI domain (found in plexins, semaphorins and integrins) follows the Serna domain, spans approximately 50 residues and connected the Serna domain to the IPT domains. The four IPT domains are related to immunoglobulin-like domains and are found in integrins, plexins and transcription factors. The IPT domain on the c-terminal side is, in turn, connected to the single transmembrane helix, which connects the extracellular domain to the intracellular domain. The intracellular domain of the MET receptor contains a juxtamembrane domain containing the Y1003 residue, which is involved in the receptor’s down-regulation; a tyrosine kinase catalytic domain containing the Y1234 and Y1235 residues, which is involved in signal transduction; and a docking site for adaptor proteins containing Y1349 and Y1356 residues.

[0068] The extracellular portion of MET binds to its cognate ligands, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its natural isoform, NK1, leading to the dimerization of two MET proteins. Dimerization leads to trans-autophosphorylation of two tyrosine residues (Y1234 and Y1235) located within the catalytic loop of the tyrosine kinase domain of the intracellular portion. Subsequently, tyrosine residues 1349 and 1356 in the carboxy -terminal tail are phosphorylated, thereby forming a unique tandem SH2 recognition motif and leading to recruitment of signal effector proteins (e g., GABI, GRB2, SHC, CRK, PI3K, PLCyl, SHP2 and STAT3) responsible for downstream signaling.

[0069] HGF, the primary ligand of MET, is a secreted single chain 83 kDa precursor protein. Full length HGF contains an N-terminal (N) domain, four consecutive kringle (K1-K4) domains, and a serine protease homology (SPH) domain. Proteolytic cleavage between Arg494 and Val495 of HGF generates the 57 kDa a subunit and the 26 kDa P subunit, which are covalently linked by a disulfide bond between Cys487 of the a-subunit and Cys604 of the P- subunit. While both of pro-HGF and cleaved HGF can bind to MET with high affinity, only cleaved mature HGF can activate MET signaling. NK1, a natural isoform of HGF can also bind to and activate MET.

[0070] In malignant solid tumors, HGF is primarily expressed and released by surrounding stromal cells, allowing the tumor and stromal cells communicate with each other through HGF, creating a microenvironment that contributes to cancer progression. For example, the HGF from the tumor stroma acts on tumor cells, stimulating not only to proliferation and metastasis, but also production of HGF -inducers. These HGF-inducers, including bFGF, IL-ip, TGF-a, PDGF and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), act on stromal fibroblasts, inducing further HGF expression. This creates a feedback loop that drives increased MET activation in the tumor. In this way, the mutual interaction between tumor and stromal cells continually drives tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Furthermore, HGF can also be produced by the tumor itself, and this phenomenon has been detected in the renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, glioma, multiple myeloma, and synovial sarcoma, osteosarcoma and fibrosarcoma.

[0071] Dysregulation of the MET pathway in cancer occurs through a variety of mechanisms, including gene mutation, amplification, rearrangement, and protein overexpression. Several MET fusions have been identified including a fusion between c-MET and TPR (translocated promoter region nuclear basket protein gene) found in a mutagenized osteosarcoma cell line, and a fusion between C-MET-KIF5B (kinesin family member 5B gene) detected in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, Mutations in the splice site of MET that result in skipping of exon 14 are important molecular drivers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Such exonskipping mutations have recently been shown to occur in 3% to 4% of NSCLC adenocarcinomas, 2% of squamous cell carcinomas, and 1% to 8% of other subtypes of lung cancer. These exon-skipping mutations often result in perpetual MET activation, driving tumorigenesis through downstream signaling pathways.

MET Activation and Intracellular Signaling Pathways

[0072] Activation of MET initiates a series of intracellular signaling pathways, including PI3K/AKT, Ras/MAPK, JAK/STAT, SRC, Wnt/p-catenin, and other signaling pathways, thereby modulating proliferation, motility, migration, and invasion. Under normal physiological conditions, MET is important in the control of tissue homeostasis and wound healing, but in cancer, abnormal MET activation drives tumor proliferation, enhanced metastasis, and drug resistance through these pathways.

[0073] The Ras/MAPKZERK signaling pathway communicates signals from cell surface receptors, including MET, to the DNA in the nucleus of the cell, where modulation of gene expression occurs. Although the signaling cascade comprises many different proteins that propagate the signal through protein phosphorylation, the pathway can generally be divided into 3 steps: (i) Ras activation, (ii) a kinase signal transduction cascade, and (iii) regulation of translation and transcription. Briefly, MET activation results in Ras activation, which phosphorylates and activates the protein kinase activity of RAF kinase. RAF kinase, in turn, phosphorylates and activates MEK (MEK1 and MEK2), which phosphorylates and activates a MAPK (also known as ERK) protein. MAPK activation regulates activities of several transcription factors and modulates protein expression. By altering the levels and activities of transcription factors, MAPK leads to altered transcription of genes that are important for the cell cycle. Depending upon the stimulus and cell type, this pathway can transmit signals that result in the prevention or induction of apoptosis or cell cycle progression. In cancer, aberrant Ras activation can lead to tumor growth, evasion of apoptosis, local tissue invasion, and metastasis. [0074] The phosphatidylinositol 3 -kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (PKB/AKT) signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of multiple cellular physiological processes, including metabolism, proliferation, cell survival, growth and angiogenesis. PI3K is a member of the lipid kinases family and is activated by phosphorylation of the 3-hydroxyl group of phosphatidylinositol lipids in the plasma membrane forming Phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)- trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 binds to PKB/Akt at the plasma membrane, allowing pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) to access and phosphorylate T308 in the “activation loop” of AKT leading to partial PKB/Akt activation. Subsequent phosphorylation of Akt at S473 in the carboxy -terminal hydrophobic motif, either by mTOR or by DNA-PK, stimulates full Akt activity. Activation of Akt leads to additional substrate-specific phosphorylation events in both the cytoplasm and nucleus, including activation of CREB, inhibition of p27, localization of FOXO in the cytoplasm, activation of Ptdlns-3ps, and activation of mTOR. Through these downstream effectors, the PI3K/Akt pathway mediates numerous cellular functions that drive cancer progression including angiogenesis, metabolism, growth, proliferation, survival, protein synthesis, transcription, and apoptosis.

[0075] The JAK-STAT pathway is essential for a wide range of cytokines and growth factors, leading to critical cellular events, such as cell differentiation, hematopoiesis, and immune system development. The JAK/STAT signaling pathway also plays a major role in the proliferation and survival of different cancer types. Activation of Janus Kinases (JAKs) by MET leads to phosphorylation of Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) proteins, which subsequently dimerize and translocate into the nucleus, where they modulate gene expression and drive tumor proliferation. For example, STAT3 is a key driver of tumorigenesis, and modulates the expression of many oncogenes, including BCL-XL, c-MYC, Mell, Survivin, BEGF, HIF-la, HGF, IL-12, and MMPs. In this way, the JAK/STAT pathway drives tumor progression by enhancing cell proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and immune escape.

[0076] The Wnt/p-catenin signaling pathway, is a conserved signaling axis participating in diverse physiological processes such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and tissue homeostasis. Activation of the Wnt/p-catenin signaling pathway leads to an elevation of cytosolic concentration of P-catenin, which migrates to the nucleus and interacts with T cell-specific factor (TCF)/lymphoid enhancer-binding factor (LEF) and its co-activators, such as Pygopus and Bcl-9. This, in turn, enhances expression of target genes, including c-Myc, cyclin DI and CDKN1A, which drive cancer stem cell renewal, cell proliferation and differentiation, thus exerting crucial roles in tumorigenesis and therapy response. Thus, by modulating a variety of tumorigenic signaling pathways, MET is a major driver of tumor growth, survival, invasion, and metastesis.

MET Kinase Inhibitors

[0077] Several agents have been developed to target MET or HGF, including small molecule inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies currently FDA-approved or undergoing clinical evaluation includes anti-MET antibodies (e.g., onartuzumab and emibetuzumab), anti-HGF antibodies (e.g., ficlatuzumab and rilotumumab), and anti- MET/EGFR bispecific (e.g., amivantamab). These therapies prevent HGF from binding to MET, thereby shutting down MET activation. In addition, many small molecule MET inhibitors have received FDA approval for the treatment of cancer, including capmatinib, tepotinib, crizotinib, cabozantinib, MGCD265, AMG208, altiratinib, and golvatinib. Of those, two selective MET inhibitors, capmatinib (Tabrecta®) and tepotinib (Tepmetko®), are FDA- approved for the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping mutations. Cabozantinib (Cabometyx®) is FDA-approved for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer.

[0078] Small-molecule MET-specific inhibitors are divided into two functionally distinct classes: type I inhibitors (e.g., crizotinib, capmatinib, tepotinib, and savolitinib), which preferentially bind to the active conformation of MET, and type II inhibitors (e.g., cabozantinib and glesatinib), which preferentially bind to the inactive conformations of MET. Additionally, selective MET inhibitors include the adenosine triphosphate-competitive agents and the adenosine triphosphate-noncompetitive agents (e.g., tivantinib). Type I MET inhibitors are further subclassified as type la (e.g., crizotinib), which interact with the solvent front G1163 residue, and type lb (e.g., capmatinib, tepotinib, and savolitinib), which binds to the kinase domain.

[0079] Type I and type II inhibitors each have unique efficacy profiles with respect to secondary MET mutations that confer resistance to MET inhibitors. For example, mutation in residues D1228 and Y1230 of the kinase domain confers resistance to type I MET inhibitors in vitro by weakening the interaction between the drug and the MET kinase domain. Resistance to all type I MET inhibitors have been identified in the clinic, with patients having secondary mutations at these positions. In addition, the mutation at the solvent front G1163R confers resistance to crizotinib, a type la MET inhibitor, but not to type lb MET inhibitors like tepotinib, savolitinib, or capmatinib in vitro. However, type II MET inhibitors retain varying degrees of efficacy against many cancers bearing these mutations that render type I inhibitors ineffective. In view of the considerable resistance that mutations confer against MET inhibitors, there is a serious unmet clinical need for MET inhibitors that maintain efficacy against tumors bearing these mutations and other mutations.

Compounds and cells were incubated together for 72 hours at 37 °C with 5% CO2. The CellTiter-Glo® 2.0 Assay determines the number of viable cells in culture by quantifying ATP, which indicates the presence of metabolically active cells. Luminescence readout is directly proportional to the number of viable cells in culture. CellTiter-Glo reagent (Promega, G9243) and cell plates were allowed to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 15 min, then 100 pL of CellTiter-Glo was added to each well for a 1 : 1 ratio of reagent to media. Samples were placed on a shaker for 2 min prior to a 30 min incubation at room temperature protected from light. Luminescence was read on a Perkin Elmer Envision plate reader 2105 and used to calculate IC50 values within the Dotmatics Knowledge Solutions Studies curve fitting environment (Dotmatics, Bishops Stortford, UK, CM23) and are presented in Table 2.

[00745] Representative data for exemplary compounds is presented in Table 2.
