TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD

The present invention provides pyrazole derivatives and uses thereof in methods of treating malignant disease and disorders and methods for treating inflammatory diseases and disorders.

BACKGROUND

The casein kinase 1 family (CKl or CKl) are serine/threonine kinases with six members (isoforms) in humans: α, γΐ, γ2, γ3, δ and ε. They differ in length and sequence of the N-terminal (9-76 amino acids) and especially the C-terminal (24-200 amino acids) non- catalytic domain (Schittek and Sinnberg, Mol. Cancer 2014, 13 :231).

CK15 and CKls are 98% identical in their kinase domain and 53% identical in their C-terminal regulatory domain (Fish et al, J. Biol. Chem. 1995, 270: 14875-14883). Whereas, there is some redundancy with respect to CKl substrate phosphorylation, most CKl isoforms have distinct biological roles. The wide range of CKl substrates shows that the CKl family members are involved in multiple cellular processes, from regulation of membrane trafficking, cytokinesis, vesicular transport, ribosome biogenesis, DNA repair, signal transduction pathways, apoptosis and in the circadian rhythm (Knippschild et al, Cell. Signal. 2005, 17:675-689; Cheong and Virshup, Int. J. Biochem. Cell Biol. 2011, 43:465- 469; Zemp, et al, J. Cell Sci. 2014, 127: 1242-1253).

CKl a plays a role in the mitotic spindle formation during cell division and in DNA repair mechanisms and participates in RNA metabolism (Knippschild et al, Cell Signal 2005, 17:675-689). It contributes to the activation of mTOR via sustained degradation of the endogenous mTOR inhibitor DEPTOR (Duan et al., Mol. Cell 2011, 44:317-324). CKla has a major role in regulation of the Wnt/p-catenin signaling pathway. The inventors of this application have shown that CKla is a key component of the β-catenin destruction complex. When the Wnt receptors are not engaged, CKla phosphorylates β- catenin at serine residue S45, which is necessary for the priming phosphorylation of another kinase, GSK3 (Amit et al., Genes Dev. 2002, 16: 1066-1076). β-catenin phosphorylation by GSK3 at residues T41, S37 and S33, generates an ubiquitination degron, recruiting the E3 SCF- -TrCP, leading to the ubiquitination and degradation of β-catenin (Clevers and Nusse, Cell 2012, 149: 1192-1205). The inventors have further shown that inducible ablation of CKla in the mouse gut epithelium triggers a massive epithelial Wnt response, which surprisingly did not alter intestinal homeostasis, with only little enhanced proliferation and no tumorigenesis (Elyada et al., Nature 2011, 470:409-413). This is dissimilar to the consequences of acute ablation of other components of the β-catenin destruction complex, such as APC, which results in loss of homeostasis and tumorigenesis (Sansom et a/. , Genes Dev. 2004, 18: 1385-1390).

The inventors of the present application have found that the reason for homeostasis maintenance following CKla ablation is that parallel to Wnt activation, CKla ablation induces several tumor-suppressor pathways, among which are DNA damage response (DDR), cellular senescence and p53 pathway activation (Elyada et al., Nature 2011, 470:409-413; Pribluda et al, Cancer Cell 2013, 24: 1-5).

Whereas the molecular mechanisms underlying the activation of these anti-neoplastic pathways are still elusive, the inventors have found that that CKla ablation induces disproportionally minor DNA damage, with no signs of ATM activation, indicating that CKla-induced DDR and p53 activation likely entail uncommon molecular mechanisms (Burstain et al, unpublished). In addition, the inventors have found that CKla ablation results in the induction of a new type of an inflammatory response, denoted parainflammation, which is confined to the epithelium, with no common signs of inflammatory response (inflammatory cell infiltration, calor, rubor, tumor, and dolor) (Pribluda et al., Cancer Cell 2013, 24: 1-5; Lasry and Ben-Neriah, Trends Immunol. 2015, 36:217-228). Parainflammation cooperates with WT p53 activation in suppressing tumorigenesis, yet switches to a tumor promoting mechanism in the absence of functional p53 (Pribluda et al, Cancer Cell 2013, 24: 1-5; Aran et al, Genome Biol. 2016, 17: 145). Whereas it is already established that CKla is a major regulator of p53, the inventors have also found that the combined ablation of CK15 and CKls in the gut epithelium also results in p53 activation, which may synergize with CKla-induced p53 activation.

IRAKI was identified as a therapeutic target for MDS, and certain subsets of AML and triple negative breast cancer (Rhyasen et al., Cancer Cell 2013, 24:90-104; Rhyasen et al, Exp. Hematol. 2013, 41 : 1005-7; Wee et al, Nat. Commun. 2015, 6:8746). IRAKI mRNA is over-expressed in -20-30% of MDS patients and the IRAKI protein is dramatically over-expressed and is hyperactivated in a majority of MDS marrow sample examined. IRAKI is a serine/threonine kinase that mediates signals elicited from Toll-like receptor (TLR) and Interleukin-1 Receptor (IL1R). Following receptor activation, IRAKI becomes phosphorylated which then leads to recruitment of TRAF6, resulting in TRAF6 activation of F-KB and INK pathways. The molecular source of IRAKI overexpression and/ or hyperactivation in MDS (or AML) is not conclusive. It is thought that over-expression of TLR or necessary cofactors in MDS clones may result in chronic IRAKI activation even in the absence of infection. Small molecule inhibitors targeting IRAKI (IRAKI/4 Inhibitor, Amgen Inc.) have been originally developed for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Given that IRAKI is hyperactivated (i.e., phosphorylated) in MDS but not normal marrow cells, Starczynowski and colleagues showed that IRAK-Inhibitor treatment (IRAKI/4, Amgen) and the knockdown of IRAKI resulted in dramatic impairment of MDS cell proliferation, progenitor function, and viability in vitro and in vivo. Yu and colleagues showed that IRAKI overexpression confers triple negative breast cancer cells (T BC) growth advantage through F-KB-related cytokine secretion and metastatic TNBC cells exhibit gain of IRAKI dependency, resulting in high susceptibility to genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of IRAKI . Paclitaxel treatment of TNBC cells induces strong IRAKI phosphorylation, an increase in inflammatory cytokine expression, enrichment of cancer stem cells and acquired resistance to paclitaxel treatment. Pharmacologic inhibition of IRAKI was able to reverse paclitaxel resistance by triggering massive apoptosis. IRAKI was also found to be a DEK transcriptional target and is essential for head and neck cancer cell survival (Adams et al., Oncotarget. 2015, 22; 6:43395-43407) and also as potential target in the treatment of inflammatory- and immune-related disorders (Bahia et al., Cell. Signal. 2015, 27: 1039-55).

The inventors have thus found that compounds of the invention are able to inhibit IRAKI, an important upstream regulator of the NF-kB pathway, which plays an important role in hematological malignancies.

The term "Casein kinase I" should be understood to encompass a protein kinases family that are serine/threonine-selective enzymes that function as regulators of signal transduction pathways in most eukaryotic cell types. CKI isoforms are involved in Wnt signaling, circadian rhythms, nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling of transcription factors, DNA repair, p53 activation and DNA transcription.

The term "Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase should be understood to encompass an enzyme encoded by the IRAKI gene which was found to be an important upstream regulator of the NF-kB pathway involved in disease pathways of hematological malignancies, such as multiple myeloma, MDS, leukemia and lymphoma, breast cancer, head and neck cancer, inflammatory and immune related disorders and others.

When referring to the "inhibition" of said enzyme, it should be understood to encompass any qualitative or quantitative decrease in the activity of said enzyme due to direct or indirect binding of at least one compound of the invention to said enzyme. The term "induced anti-tumor response" should be understood to encompass any qualitative or quantitative chemotherapy of cancerous tumors.

The term "cancer immunotherapy response" should be understood to encompass any qualitative or quantitative cancer immunotherapy induction of the subject's own immune system to fight the cancerous cells. Typically, immunotherapies can be categorized as active, passive or hybrid (active and passive), and are designed to exploit the fact that cancer cells often have molecules on their surface that can be detected by the immune system of a subject, known as tumour-associated antigens (TAAs); they are often proteins or other macromolecules {e.g. , carbohydrates). Active immunotherapy directs the immune system to attack tumor cells by targeting TAAs. Passive immunotherapies enhance existing anti-tumor responses.

When referring to "inflammatory and immune related disorders" it should be understood to relate to any type of disorder (including conditions, symptoms and diseases associated therewith) that are treatable with Interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase inhibitors. It has been shown for example that IRAKI is an indispensable element of IL-Rs and TLR pathways that can regulate the abnormal levels of cytokines, and therefore can be employed to manage immune- and inflammation-related disorders such as for example rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, gout, asthma and cancer (Bahia et al, Cell. Signal. 2015, 27: 1039-55).
