AMINOPYRIDINE-BASED MTA-COOPERATIVE PRMT5 INHIBITORS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/218,090, filed July 2, 2021, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to compounds that are MTA-cooperative inhibitors of Protein Arginine N-Methyl Transferase 5 (PRMT5). In particular, the present invention relates to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and methods for use therefor. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Protein Arginine N-Methyl Transferase (PRMT5) is a type II arginine methyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to an omega- nitrogen of the guanidino function of protein L-arginine residues (omega-monomethylation) and the transfer of a second methyl group to the other omega-nitrogen, yielding symmetric dimethylarginine (sDMA). PRMT5 forms a complex with MEP50 (methylosome protein 50), which is required for substrate recoginition and orientation and is also required for PRMT5- catalyzed histone 2A and histone 4 methyltransferase activity (e.g., see Ho et al., (2013) PLOS ONE 8(8): 10.1371/annotation/e6b5348e-9052-44ab-8f06-90d01dc88fc2). [0004] Homozygous deletions of p16/CDKN2a are prevalent in cancer and these mutations commonly involve the co-deletion of adjacent genes, including the gene encoding methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP). It is estimated that approximately 15% of all human cancers have a homozygous deletion of the MTAP gene (e.g., see Firestone & Schramm (2017) J. Am. Chem Soc.139(39):13754-13760. doi: 10.1021/jacs.7b05803. Epub 2017 Sep 20). [0005] Cells lacking MTAP activity have elevated levels of the MTAP substrate, methylthioadenosine (MTA), which is a potent inhibitor of PRMT5. Inhibition of PRMT5 activity results in reduced methylation activity and increased sensitivity of cellular proliferation to PRMT5 depletion or loss of activity. Hence, the loss of MTAP activity reduces methylation activity of PRMT5 making the cells selectively dependent on PRMT5 activity. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] Thus, we realized that MTA-cooperative inhibition of PRMT5 activity in MTAP deleted cancers will provide therapeutic benefit for a wide range of cancers. The compounds of the present invention provide this therapeutic benefit as MTA-cooperative inhibitors of PRMT5 that negatively modulate the activity of MTA-bound PRMT5 in a cell, particularly an MTAP- deficient cell, or for treating various forms of MTAP-associated cancer. [0007] There is a need to develop new MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitors that are capable of inhibiting PRMT5 activity in the presence of elevated MTA concentrations, particularly in MTAP-deficient cells.

EXAMPLE A [0209] This Example illustrates that exemplary compounds of Formula (I) in the present invention are capable of binding to PRMT5 in presence of MTA. [0210] The PRMT5 binding activity of compounds of the present invention was determined using an HTRF binding assay or SPR assay. HTRF binding assay [0211] A recombinant human dual expressed Avi PRMT5/His-MEP50) protein (corresponding to amino acids for PRMT52-637, and 2-342 for MEP50 expressed in baculovirus) was incubated with target fragments in final buffer (25 mM ADA pH 7.2, 30 μM MTA, 1 mM TCEP, 50 mM NaCl, 0.002% Tween, 5 nM proprietary Tracer binding compound prepared in-house), overnight at 2-8^ C. After overnight incubation the binding is monitored after the addition of 0.5 nM Anti- His-Tb (Cisbio) after 1 hr incubation at RT (~20-24 hrs total binding time). The HTRF signal was measured using a Clariostar reader (BMG) excitation filter (Ex Tr), dichroic filter (LP TP) and emission filters (F 665-10 and F 620-10) manufacturer’s instructions. The HTRF ratio was calculated using the formula: [emission 665/emission 620] * 10000. IC50’s were fit using Xlfit software (IDBS) with the Hill equation fixed to 1 (fit Background + Bmax/(1 + ((x/IC50)^Hill))) and the results for exemplary compounds of Formula (I) is shown in Table A1 Table A1 IC ₅₀ Values for PRMT5 Binding Activity by Exemplary Compounds of Formula (I) in the Presence of MTA in the HTRF Assay 1 SPR binding assay In vivo biotinylated PRMT5-MEP50 was diluted to 4.5 μM in 25 mM Bicine pH 7.6, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, and 0.05% Tween-20 and injected at 5 μl/min flow rate into flow cell 2 (FC2) of a Series S Sensor Chip SA (Cytiva) in a Biacore T200 or in a Biacore 8K plus (Cytiva). SPR screening was performed in MTA running buffer (25 mM Bicine pH 7.6, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, 20 μM MTA, 0.05% Tween-20 and 2 % DMSO). The biotinylated PRMT5-MEP50 surface was equilibrated with MTA running buffer for 12 hours prior to the start. The test compound affinity was determined using multi-cycle injection of each fragment from 0.001 to 500 μM over the PRMT5•MTA at a flow rate of 30 μl/min and with association and dissociation times of 20 and 60 seconds respectively. PRMT5•MTA surface activity was confirmed at the initiation, and the end of the run by titration of EPZ015666 (KD = 11 and 13 PM respectively). Subsequently, compound titration was repeated in SAM-running buffer (25 mM Bicine pH 7.6, 100 mM NaC1, 1 mM TCEP, 20 μM SAM, 0.05% Tween-20, and 2 % DMSO). The PRMT5•SAM surface was equilibrated for at least 5 hours prior to compound titration and the PRMT5•SAM surface activity was confirmed at the end of the fragment titration run by titration of EPZ015666 (K _D < 1 nM). After double referencing, the steady-state response was extracted for each fragment concentration and was fit to the Langmuir isotherm equation to determine the equilibrium dissociation constant (K _D ). [0049] The data in Table A2 was generated using a surface plasmon resonance (“SPR”) binding assay. Table A2 IC ₅₀ Values for PRMT5 Binding Activity by Exemplary Compounds of Formula (I) in the Presence of MTA and SAM in the SPR Assay EXAMPLE B [0212] This Example illustrates that exemplary compounds of Formula(I) of the present invention cooperatively inhibit PRMT5 enzymatic activity in the presence of MTA. [0213] The PRMT5 inhibitory activity of compounds of the present invention was determined using a PRMT5:MEP50 FlashPlate Assay (Reaction Biology Corporation). PRMT5:MEP50 FlashPlate Assay [0214] The assay uses purified human, PRMT5 enzyme to convert S-adenosyl-L-[methyl- ³ H]methionine plus histone H4 L-arginine to S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine plus histone H4 [methyl- ³ H]-L-arginine. The assay was carried out using Streptavidin-coated FlashPlates (Perkin Elmer), which contained a scintillant embedded in the plastic of the plate. The histone H4 peptide substrate was conjugated with biotin, which binds to the streptavidin-coated well of the plate, placing the H4 peptide in close proximity to the side well and the scintillant. The transfer of the tritiated methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-[methyl- ³ H]methionine to the bound histone H4 peptide generated a radiolabeled histone H4, which was quantitated by measuring in a scintillation counter to determine the activity of PRMT5 enzyme in the presence and absence of compound. The assay reactions also were conducted in the presence and absence of MTA to determine whether the compounds exhibit MTA-cooperative activity. Briefly, compounds of the present invention were solubilized in 100% DMSO at a highest concentration of 10 mM. For IC50 determinations, the initial starting concentration for the serial dilutions of each compound was 50 μM. Control samples lacking compound, PRMT5/MEP50 complex or various reaction components also were prepared and processed in parallel with compound test samples. SAH was used as a positive control for assay validation. To measure PRMT5 inhibitory activity, 3 nM PRMT5/MEP50 complex (Reaction Biology Corporation) was preincubated with test compound in assay buffer containing 40 nM histone H4 peptide (amino acids 1-15)-Biotin conjugate for 20 min at room temperature. The enzymatic reaction was initiated by adding 1 μM tritiated S- adenosyl methionine (final concentration) and the reaction is allowed to proceed for 20 min. The reaction was stopped and the amount of bound, tritiated H4 peptide in each sample was determined using a scintillation counter. The IC ₅₀ value for each compound was calculated from each 10-point dose-response curve for samples plus and minus MTA using GraphPad Prism software and the results for exemplary compounds of Formula (I) is shown in Table 9a.

Enzymatic transfer of the tritiated methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-3H]methionine to the histone H2A protein generated a radiolabeled histone H2A4 by measuring in a scintillation counter to determine the activity of PRMT5 enzyme in the presence and absence of compound. The assay reactions also were conducted in the presence of MTA to determine whether the compounds exhibit MTA-cooperative activity. Briefly, compounds of the present invention were solubilized in 100% DMSO at a highest concentration of 10 mM.

To measure PRMT5 inhibitory activity, 1 nM PRMT5/MEP50 complex (Reaction Biology Corporation) was preincubated with test compound in assay buffer containing 5 μM full-length histone H2A for 20 min at room temperature. The enzymatic reaction was initiated by adding 1 μM tritiated S-adenosyl methionine (final concentration) and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 60 min. The reaction was stopped and transferred to filter paper for detection. The amount of tritiated H2A in each sample was determined using a scintillation counter. The IC ₅₀ value for each compound was calculated from each 10-point dose-response curve using GraphPad Prism software and the results for exemplary compounds of Formula (I) is shown in Table B2.
