Activation of FGFRs (fibroblast growth factor receptors) has an essential role in regulating cell survival, proliferation, migration and differentiation.¹ Dysregulation of the FGFR signaling pathway has been associated with human cancer.¹ FGFRs represent an important target for cancer therapeutics because a growing body of evidence indicates that they can act in an oncogenic fashion to promote multiple steps of cancer progression, including induction of mitogenic and survival signals

FGF-401 is a FGFR4 inhibitor in phase I/II clinical studies at Novartis for the treatment of positive FGFR4 and KLB expresion solid tumors and hepatocellular carcinoma

Normal growth, as well as tissue repair and remodeling, require specific and delicate control of activating growth factors and their receptors. Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) constitute a family of over twenty structurally related polypeptides that are developmental^ regulated and expressed in a wide variety of tissues. FGFs stimulate proliferation, cell migration and differentiation and play a major role in skeletal and limb development, wound healing, tissue repair, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis (reviewed in Ornitz, Novartis Found Symp 232: 63-76; discussion 76-80, 272-82 (2001)).

The biological action of FGFs is mediated by specific cell surface receptors belonging to the Receptor Protein Tyrosine Kinase (RPTK) family of protein kinases. These proteins consist of an extracellular ligand binding domain, a single transmembrane domain and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain which undergoes phosphorylation upon binding of FGF. Four FGFRs have been identified to date: FGFR1 (also called Fig, fms-like gene, fit- 2, bFGFR, N-bFGFR or Cek1 ), FGFR2 (also called Bek-Bacterial Expressed Kinase-, KGFR, Ksam, Ksaml and Cek3), FGFR3 (also called Cek2) and FGFR4. All mature FGFRs share a common structure consisting of an amino terminal signal peptide, three extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains (Ig domain I, Ig domain II, Ig domain III), with an acidic region between Ig domains (the “acidic box” domain), a transmembrane domain, and intracellular kinase domains (Ullrich and Schlessinger, Cell 61 : 203,1990 ; Johnson and Williams (1992) Adv. Cancer Res. 60: 1 -41). The distinct FGFR isoforms have different binding affinities for the different FGF ligands.

Alterations in FGFRs have been associated with a number of human cancers including myeloma, breast, stomach, colon, bladder, pancreatic and hepatocellular carcinomas. Recently, it was reported that FGFR4 may play an important role in liver cancer in particular (PLoS One, 2012, volume 7, 36713). Other studies have also implicated FGFR4 or its ligand FGF19 in other cancer types including breast, glioblastoma, prostate, rhabdomyosarcoma, gastric, ovarian, lung, colon (Int. J. Cancer 1993; 54:378-382; Oncogene 2010; 29:1543-1552; Cancer Res 2010; 70:802-812; Cancer Res 201 1 ; 71 :4550-4561 ; Clin Cancer Res 2004; 10:6169-6178; Cancer Res 2013;

73:2551 -2562; Clin Cancer Res 2012; 18:3780-3790; J. Clin. Invest. 2009; 1 19:3395-3407; Ann Surg Oncol 2010; 17:3354-61 ; Cancer 201 1 ; 1 17:5304-13; Clin Cancer Res 2013; 19:809-820; PNAS 2013; 1 10:12426-12431 ; Oncogene 2008; 27:85-97).

Therapies involving FGFR4 blocking antibodies have been described for instance in

WO2009/009173, WO2007/136893, WO2012/138975, WO2010/026291 , WO2008/052798 and WO2010/004204. WO2014/144737 and WO2014/01 1900 also describe low molecular weight FGFR4 inhibitors.

in spite of numerous treatment options for patients with cancer, there remains a need for effective and safe therapeutic agents and a need for new combination therapies that can be administered for the effective long-term treatment of cancer.

Liver cancer or hepatic cancer is classified as primary liver cancer (i.e. cancer that forms in the tissues of the liver) and secondary liver cancer (i.e. cancer that spreads to the liver from another part of the body). According to the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health, the number of estimated new cases and deaths from liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer in the United States in 2014 was 33,190 and 23,000, respectively. Importantly, the percent surviving five years or more after being diagnosed with liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer is only about 16%.

It has now been found that a combination of /V-(5-cyano-4-((2-methoxyethyl)amino)pyridin-2-yl)-7-formyl-6-((4-methyl-2-oxopiperazin-1 -yl)methyl)-3,4-dihydro-1 ,8-naphthyridine-1 (2H)-carboxamide in free form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form and at least one further active ingredient, as defined herein, shows synergistic combination activity in an in vitro cell proliferation assay as shown in the experimental section and may therefore be effective for the delay of progression or treatment of a proliferative disease, such as cancer, in particular liver cancer.

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) play important roles in physiological processes relating to tissue repair, hematopoiesis, bone growth, angiogenesis and other aspects of embryonic development. Alterations in the FGF signaling pathway have also emerged as important drivers in human disease. FGF signaling can be deregulated through multiple mechanisms, including gene amplification, activating mutations and translocations, overexpression, altered FGFR gene splicing, and autocrine or paracrine overproduction of the ligands of FGFR. Deregulated FGF signaling has been documented in human tumors, including breast (see Ray, M. E., et. al., 2004. Genomic and expression analysis of the 8pl 1-12 amplicon in human breast cancer cell lines. Cancer Res 64:40-47), multiple myeloma (see Keats, J.J., et. al., 2006. Ten years and counting: so what do we know about t(4;14)(pl6;q32) multiple myeloma. Leuk Lymphoma 47:2289-2300), non-invasive bladder (see Billerey, C, et al. 2001. Frequent

FGFR3 mutations in papillary non-invasive bladder (pTa) tumors. Am J Pathol 158: 1955-1959), endometrial (see Pollock, P.M., et al. 2007. Frequent activating FGFR2 mutations in endometrial carcinomas parallel germline mutations associated with craniosynostosis and skeletal dysplasia syndromes. Oncogene 26:7158-7162), gastric (see Jang, J.H., et. al, 2001. Mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 and fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 genes associated with human gastric and colorectal cancers. Cancer Res 61 :3541-3543), prostate cancers (see Sahadevan, K., D et. al., 2007. Selective over-expression of fibroblast growth factor receptors 1 and 4 in clinical prostate cancer. J Pathol 213:82-90), lung (see Hammerman P, et al. Genomic characterization and targeted therapeutics in squamous cell lung cancer [abstract]; Proceedings of the 14th World Conference on Lung Cancer; 2011 3-7 July; Aurora (CO); and International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer; 2011), esophageal (see Hanada K, et al, Identification of fibroblast growth factor-5 as an overexpressed anti-gen in multiple human adenocarcinomas. Cancer Res 2001; 61 : 5511-6), cholangiocarcinoma (see Arai, Y., et al. 2014. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 tyrosine kinase fusions define a unique molecular subtype of cholangiocarcinoma. Hepatology 59, 1427-1434 and Borad, M. J., et al. 2014). Integrated genomic characterization reveals novel, therapeutically relevant drug targets in FGFR and EGFR pathways in sporadic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. PLoS genetics 10, el004135), glioblastoma (see Rand V., et. al. Sequence survey of receptor tyrosine kinases reveals mutations in glioblastomas.

The Journal of pathology 232, 4-15). FGFR1 translocations and FGFR1 fusions are frequently observed in 8pl 1 myeloproliferative syndromes (Jackson, C. C, Medeiros, L. J., and Miranda, R. N. (2010). 8pl 1 myeloproliferative syndrome: a review. Human pathology 41, 461-476). Activating mutations in FGFR3 have been shown to cause a number of dwarf syndromes (see Harada, D., et. al, 2009. FGFR3-related dwarfism and cell signaling. J Bone Miner Metab 27:9-15) including achondroplasia (see Bellus, G.A., et. al., 1995. Achondroplasia is defined by recurrent G380R mutations of FGFR3.

Activating mutations in FGFR4 have been identified in rhabdomyosarcoma (see Shukla, N., et. al, Oncogene mutation profiling of pediatric solid tumors reveals significant subsets of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and neuroblastoma with mutated genes in growth signaling pathways. Clin Cancer Res 18:748-757 and Marshall, A.D., et. al, PAX3-FOX01 and FGFR4 in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Mol Carcinog 51 :807-815). For these reasons, FGFRs are attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of diseases.

FDA approves first drug to treat tardive dyskinesia

04/11/2017

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Ingrezza (valbenazine) capsules to treat adults with tardive dyskinesia. This is the first drug approved by the FDA for this condition.

April 11, 2017

Release

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Ingrezza (valbenazine) capsules to treat adults with tardive dyskinesia. This is the first drug approved by the FDA for this condition.

Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive involuntary movements, usually of the jaw, lips and tongue, such as grimacing, sticking out the tongue and smacking the lips. Some affected people also experience involuntary movement of the extremities or difficulty breathing.

“Tardive dyskinesia can be disabling and can further stigmatize patients with mental illness,” said Mitchell Mathis, M.D., director of the Division of Psychiatry Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Approving the first drug for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia is an important advance for patients suffering with this condition.”

Tardive dyskinesia is a serious side effect sometimes seen in patients who have been treated with antipsychotic medications, especially the older medications, for long periods to treat chronic conditions, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Tardive dyskinesia can also occur in patients taking antipsychotic medications for depression and certain medications for gastrointestinal disorders and other conditions. It is unclear why some people who take these medications develop tardive dyskinesia yet others do not.

The efficacy of Ingrezza was shown in a clinical trial of 234 participants that compared Ingrezza to placebo. After six weeks, participants who received Ingrezza had improvement in the severity of abnormal involuntary movements compared to those who received placebo.

Ingrezza may cause serious side effects including sleepiness and heart rhythm problems (QT prolongation). Its use should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome or with abnormal heartbeats associated with a prolonged QT interval. Those taking Ingrezza should not drive or operate heavy machinery or do other dangerous activities until it is known how the drug affects them.

The FDA granted this application Fast Track, Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy designations.

The FDA granted approval of Ingrezza to Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc.

Valbenazine (INN,^[1]^:114 proposed trade name Ingrezza) is the first drug approved by the FDA^[2] for use in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia.^[3]^[4] Clinical trials are underway to evaluate its efficacy in the treatment of Tourette’s syndrome.^[5]^[6] It acts as a vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitor.^[7]

Pharmacology

Mechanism of action

Valbenazine is known to cause reversible reduction of dopamine release by selectively inhibiting pre-synaptic human vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2). In vitro, valbenazine shows great selectivity for VMAT2 and little to no affinity for VMAT1 or other monoamine receptors.^[8] Although the exact cause of tardive dyskinsia is unknown, it is hypothesized that it may result from neuroleptic-induced dopamine hypersensitivity.^[9] By selectively reducing the ability of VMAT2 to load dopamine into synaptic vesicles,^[10] the drug reduces overall levels of available dopamine in the synaptic cleft, ideally alleviating the symptoms associated with dopamine hypersensitivity. The importance of valbenazine selectivity inhibiting VMAT2 over other monoamine transporters is that VMAT2 is mainly involved with the transport of dopamine, and to a much lesser extent other monoamines such as norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine. This selectivity is likely to reduce the likelihood of “off-target” adverse effects which may result from the upstream inhibition of these other monoamines.^[11]

Society and culture

Commercial aspects

Valbenazine is produced by Neurocrine Biosciences, a company based in San Diego. In addition to the late-stage clinical trials studying valbenazine, Neurocrine Biosciences (partnered with AbbVie Inc.) also has another product, elagolix (a hormone antagonist), undergoing clinical trials.^[12] Following the initiation of these trials, on 5 May 2016 Neurocrine reported revenues of $15 million for the first quarter of 2016.^[13] The company now focuses on filing the valbenazine new drug application as they prepare for the commercial launch of the drug for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia.Neurocrine’s expenses have risen steadily since May 2015, primarily due to the pre-commercialization activities for valbenazine. ^[14]

Intellectual property

While Neurocrine Biosciences does not currently hold a final patent for valbenazine or elagolix, they do hold a patent for the VMAT2 inhibitor [9,10-dimethoxy-3-(2-methylpropyl)-1H,2H,3H,4H,6H,7H,11bH-pyrido-[2,1-a]isoquinolin-2-yl]methanol and related compounds, which includes valbenazine.^[15]

Epigenetic alterations play an important role in the regulation of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell survival. The epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes and activation of oncogenes may occur through alteration of CpG island methylation patterns, histone modification, and dysregulation of DNA binding protein. Polycomb genes are a set of epigenetic effectors. EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homolog 2) is the catalytic component of the Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2), a conserved multi-subunit complex that represses gene transcription by methylating lysine 27 on Histone H3 (H3K27). EZH2 plans a key role in regulating gene expression patterns that regulate cell fate decisions, such as differentiation and self-renewal. EZH2 is overexpressed in certain cancer cells, where it has been linked to cell proliferation, cell invasion, chemoresistance and metastasis.
High EZH2 expression has been correlated with poor prognosis, high grade, and high stage in several cancer types, including breast, colorectal, endometrial, gastric, liver, kidney, lung, melanoma, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, and bladder cancers. See Crea et al., Crit. Rev. Oncol. Hematol. 2012, 83:184-193, and references cited therein; see also Kleer et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2003, 100:11606-11; Mimori et al., Eur. J. Surg.

Recurring somatic mutations in EZH2 have been identified in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphomas (FL). Mutations altering EZH2 tyrosine 641 (e.g., Y641C, Y641F, Y641N, Y641S, and Y641H) were reportedly observed in up to 22% of germinal center B-cell DLBCL and 7% of FL. Morin et al. Nat. Genetics 2010 February; 42(2):181-185. Mutations of alanine 677 (A677) and alanine 687 (A687) have also been reported. McCabe et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2012, 109:2989-2994; Majer et al. FEBS Letters 2012, 586:3448-3451. EZH2 activating mutations have been suggested to alter substrate specificity resulting in elevated levels of trimethylated H3K27 (H3K27me3).

Accordingly, compounds that inhibit the activity of wild type and/or mutant forms of EZH2 may be of interest for the treatment of cancer.

Ectopic mineralization, characterized by inappropriate calcium-phosphorus deposition in soft tissue, has been observed in rats treated with an FGFR-1 inhibitor (Brown, AP et al. (2005), Toxicol. Pathol., p. 449-455). This suggests that selective inhibition of FGFR-4 without inhibition of other isoforms of FGFR, including FGFR-1, may be desirable in order to avoid certain toxicities. FGFR-4 preferentially binds fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) and has recently been associated with the progression of certain sarcomas, renal cell cancer, breast cancer, and liver cancer.

Synthetic Protocol 3

2-chloro-6-(2,6-dichloro-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)quinazoline (described in WO 2014011900) can be substituted with an 1,2-mono-protected cycloalkyldiamine under various nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction conditions using a base (such as diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA), DBU or NaHC0₃) in a polar solvent (such as dioxane, CH CN or NMP) or via a palladium-mediated Buchwald coupling reaction to provide the diamine- substituted quinazoline. The protecting group on the amine is removed to reveal the amine on the cycloalkane. The amine can be reacted with propiolic acid using amide coupling reaction conditions or reacted with acryloyl chloride to prepare the acrylamide. As shown below, Compounds 27, 32, 34, 36, and 40 were prepared using Synthetic Protocol 3.

Blueprint Medicines is developing a new generation of highly selective and potent kinase therapies to dramatically improve the lives of patients with genomically defined diseases. Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the genetic blueprint of cancer and other diseases driven by the abnormal activation of kinases. Our ability to identify novel drivers of disease, coupled with our proprietary library of novel and diverse chemical compounds, uniquely enables us to craft kinase therapies against new and difficult-to-drug targets. We are boldly advancing a deep pipeline of highly targeted therapies against previously unaddressed drivers of disease. By focusing on genomically defined subsets of patients, we believe we can identify the people most likely to respond to our therapies, resulting in a more efficient clinical development path with a greater likelihood of success and better outcomes for patients. We see a substantial opportunity in kinase drug discovery and development to deliver breakthrough medicines that allow patients to live longer with better quality of life and prevent recurrences of disease. Kinases are involved in many hallmarks of tumor biology and are proven cancer drug targets. Currently approved drugs focus on less than 5 percent of known kinases, and the function of most kinases is unknown. Led by a team of industry innovators with a track record of bringing life-changing drugs to market, we believe Blueprint Medicines has the experience and expertise to deliver on the tremendous untapped potential of kinase therapies to improve patients’ lives. We don’t think in small steps. We think in giant leaps. We are driven by the pursuit of new ideas, new innovations, and new ways of thinking.

DESCRIPTION

Cystic fibrosis (CF), one of the most common autosomal recessive genetic diseases in the Caucasian population, is caused by loss of function mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene, which is located on chromosome 7 (http://www.cff.org/AboutCF/; Rowe S. M et al. (2005); N Eng J Med. (352), 1992-2001). Approximately 1:3500 and 1:3000 infants born in the United States and in Europe, respectively, are affected by CF, resulting in ˜75,000 cases worldwide, ˜30,000 of which are in the United State. Approximately 1,000 new cases of CF are diagnosed each year, with more than 75% of patients being diagnosed by 2 years of age. Nearly half the CF population is currently 18 years of age and older. The CFTR protein (Gregory, R. J. et al. (1990) Nature 347:382-386; Rich, D. P. et al. (1990) Nature 347:358-362; Riordan, J. R. et al. (1989) Science 245:1066-1073) is a cAMP/ATP-mediated ion channel expressed in a variety of cell types, including secretory and absorptive epithelial cells. CFTR regulates chloride and bicarbonate anion flux across the cell membrane, maintaining electro neutrality and osmolarity across the epithelial membrane (Quinton, P. M. (1990), FASEB J. 4: 2709-2727). CFTR is also responsible for regulating the activity of other ion channels and proteins (Guggino, W. B. et al. (2006), Nat Revs Molecular Cell Biology 7, 426-436).

Aberrations in CFTR function result in imbalance of the airway surface liquid, leading to mucus dehydration, inflammation, recurrent bacterial infection and irreversible lung damage, which lead to premature death in affected patients. Besides respiratory disease, CF patients suffer from gastrointestinal problems and pancreatic insufficiency. The majority of males (95%) with cystic fibrosis are infertile as a result of azoospermia caused by altered vas deferens; which may be absent, atrophic, or fibrotic. Fertility is also decreased among females with cystic fibrosis due to abnormal cervical mucus.

The F508del mutation, the most common of the approximately 1900 identified polymorphisms in CFTR, results in defective processing of CFTR in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (http://www.cftr2.org/index.php). Approximately 90% of the CF patients carry at least one copy of the F508del mutation (deletion of a phenylalanine on position 508), and 50%-60% of the patients are homozygous for this mutation. The defective processing of CFTR results in early CFTR degradation, which leads to reduced trafficking or absence of the protein on the membrane. As there have been over 100 CF disease-causing mutations identified, they have been classified according to their phenotypic consequences and belong to synthesis, maturation, regulation, conductance, reduced number due to quantity and reduced number due to stability classifications.

Current CF drug discovery efforts focus upon developing two classes of compounds to modulate CFTR. One class, called Correctors, helps to overcome the folding defects of the mutated CFTR protein to promote its maturation resulting in higher cell surface expression. The other classes of compounds, called Potentiators, help overcome the defective regulation and/or conductance of the protein by increasing the probability of channel opening on the membrane surface.

In addition, as the modulation of CFTR protein mutations to promote proper protein folding is beneficial for CF, there are other diseases mediated by CFTR. For example, Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS), an autoimmune disorder that results in symptoms of xerostomia (dry mouth) and keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS, dry eyes) may result from dysregulation of moisture producing glands throughout the body. Chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD), or chronic obstructive airway disease (COAD), which is a progressive and irreversible airflow limitation in the airways is result of several physiologic abnormalities, including mucus hyper secretion and impaired mucociliary secretion. Increasing the anion secretion by CFTR potentiators have been suggested to overcome these phenotypic complexities with Sjögren’s Syndrome by increasing the corneal hydration and by overcoming the impaired mucociliary secretion in COAD (Bhowmik A, et al. (2009) Vol. 103(4), 496-502; Sloane P, et al. PLOS One (2012) Vol 7(6), 239809 (1-13)).

The genomes of eukaryotic organisms are highly organized within the nucleus of the cell. The long strands of duplex DNA are wrapped around an octomer of histone proteins to form a nucleosome. This basic unit is then further compressed by the aggregation and folding of nucleosomes to form a highly condensed chromatin structure. A range of different states of condensation are possible, and the tightness of this structure varies during the cell cycle, being most compact during the process of cell division. There has been appreciation recently that chromatin templates form a fundamentally important set of gene control mechanisms referred to as epigenetic regulation. By conferring a wide range of specific chemical modifications to histones and DNA (such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitinylation and SUMOylation) epigenetic regulators modulate the structure, function and accessibility of our genome, thereby exerting a huge impact in gene expression.

Histone acetylation is most usually associated with the activation of gene transcription, as the modification loosens the interaction of the DNA and the histone octomer by changing the electrostatics. In addition to this physical change, specific proteins bind to acetylated lysine residues within histones to read the epigenetic code. Bromodomains are small (-110 amino acid) distinct domains within proteins that bind to acetylated lysine residues commonly but not exclusively in the context of histones. There is a family of around 50 proteins known to contain bromodomains, and they have a range of functions within the cell. The BET family of bromodomain containing proteins

comprises 4 proteins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRD-T) which contain tandem bromodomains capable of binding to two acetylated lysine residues in close proximity, increasing the specificity of the interaction.

BRD2 and BRD3 are reported to associate with histones along actively

transcribed genes and may be involved in facilitating transcriptional elongation (Leroy et al, Mol. Cell. 2008 30(1):51-60), while BRD4 appears to be involved in the recruitment of the pTEF-I3 complex to inducible genes, resulting in phosphorylation of RNA polymerase and increased transcriptional output (Hargreaves et al, Cell, 2009 138(1): 1294145). All family members have been reported to have some function in controlling or executing aspects of the cell cycle, and have been shown to remain in complex with chromosomes during cell division – suggesting a role in the maintenance of epigenetic memory. In addition some viruses make use of these proteins to tether their genomes to the host cell chromatin, as part of the process of viral replication (You et al., Cell, 2004 117(3):349-60).

Recent articles relating to this target include Prinjha et al., Trends in

Pharmacological Sciences, March 2012, Vol. 33, No. 3, pp. 146-153; Conway, ACS Med. Chem. Lett., 2012, 3, 691-694 and Hewings et al, J. Med. Chem., 2012, 55, 9393-9413.

Small molecule BET inhibitors that are reported to be in development include GSK-525762A, OTX-015, TEN-010 as well as others from the University of Oxford and Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Hundreds of epigenetic effectors have been identified, many of which are chromatin-binding proteins or chromatin-modifying enzymes. These proteins have been associated with a variety of disorders such as neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic diseases, inflammation and cancer. Thus, these compounds which inhibit the binding of a bromodomain with its cognate acetylated proteins, promise new approaches in the treatment of a range of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases or conditions and in the treatment of various types of cancer.

SYNTHESIS

GLGP 1837

ABC transporters are a family of homologous membrane transporter proteins regulating the transport of a wide variety of pharmacological agents (for example drugs, xenobiotics, anions, etc…) that bind and use cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for their specific activities. Some of these transporters were found to defend malignant cancer cells against chemotherapeutic agents, acting as multidrug resistance proteins (like the MDRl-P glycoprotein, or the multidrug resistance protein, MRP 1). So far, 48 ABC transporters, grouped into 7 families based on their sequence identity and function, have been identified.

ABC transporters provide protection against harmful environmental compounds by regulating a variety of important physiological roles within the body, and therefore represent important potential drug targets for the treatment of diseases associated with transporter defects, outwards cell drug transport, and other diseases in which modulation of ABC transporter activity may be beneficial.

The cAMP/ATP -mediated anion channel, CFTR, is one member of the ABC transporter family commonly associated with diseases, which is expressed in a variety of cells types, including absorptive and secretory epithelia cells, where it regulates anion flux across the membrane, as well as the activity of other ion channels and proteins. The activity of CFTR in epithelial cells is essential for the maintenance of electrolyte transport throughout the body, including respiratory and digestive tissue. (Quinton, 1990)

The gene encoding CFTR has been identified and sequenced (Kerem et al., 1989). CFTR comprises about 1480 amino acids that encode a protein made up of a tandem repeat of transmembrane domains, each containing six transmembrane helices and a nucleotide binding domain. The pair of

transmembrane domains is linked by a large, polar, regulatory (R)-domain with multiple phosphorylation sites that regulate channel activity and cellular trafficking.

Cystic fibrosis is caused by a defect in this gene which induces mutations in CFTR. Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease in humans, and affects -0.04% of white individuals(Bobadilla et al., 2002), for example, in the United States, about one in every 2,500 infants is affected, and up to 10 million people carry a single copy of the defective gene without apparent ill effects; moreover subjects bearing a single copy of the gene exhibit increased resistance to cholera and to dehydration resulting from diarrhea. This effect might explain the relatively high frequency of the CF gene within the population.

In contrast, individuals with two copies of the CF associated gene suffer from the debilitating and fatal effects of CF, including chronic lung infections.

In cystic fibrosis patients, mutations in endogenous respiratory epithelial CFTR fails to confer chloride and bicarbonate permeability to epithelial cells in lung and other tissues, thus leading to reduced apical anion secretion and disruptions of the ion and fluid transport. This decrease in anion transport causes an enhanced mucus and pathogenic agent accumulation in the lung triggering microbial infections that ultimately cause death in CF patients.

Beyond respiratory disease, CF patients also suffer from gastrointestinal problems and pancreatic insufficiency that result in death if left untreated. Furthermore, female subjects with cystic fibrosis suffer from decreased fertility, whilst males with are infertile.

A variety of disease causing mutations has been identified through sequence analysis of the CFTR gene of CF chromosomes (Kerem et al., 1989). AF508-CFTR, the most common CF mutation (present in at least 1 allele in~90 % of CF patients) and occurring in approximately 70% of the cases of cystic fibrosis, contains a single amino acid deletion of phenylalanine 508. This deletion prevents the nascent protein from folding correctly, which protein in turn cannot exit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and traffic to the plasma membrane, and then is rapidly degraded. As a result, the number of channels present in the membrane is far less than in cells expressing wild-type CFTR. In addition to impaired trafficking, the mutation results in defective channel gating. Indeed, even if AF508-CFTR is allowed to reach the cell plasma membrane by low-temperature (27°C) rescue where it can function as a cAMP-activated chloride channel, its activity is decreased significantly compared with WT-CFTR (Pasyk and Foskett, 1995).

Other mutations with lower incidence have also been identified that alter the channel regulation or the channel conductance. In case of the channel regulation mutants, the mutated protein is properly trafficked and localized to the plasma membrane but either cannot be activated or cannot function as a chloride channel (e.g. missense mutations located within the nucleotide binding domains), examples of these mutations are G551D, G178R, G1349D. Mutations affecting chloride conductance have a CFTR protein that is correctly trafficked to the cell membrane but that generates reduced chloride- flow (e.g. missense mutations located within the membrane-spanning domain), examples of these mutations are Rl 17H, R334W.

In addition to cystic fibrosis, CFTR activity modulation may be beneficial for other diseases not directly caused by mutations in CFTR, such as, for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dry eye disease, and Sjogren’s Syndrome.

[0014] COPD is characterized by a progressive and non-reversible airflow limitation, which is due to mucus hypersecretion, bronchiolitis, and emphysema. A potential treatment of mucus hypersecretion and impaired mucociliary clearance that is common in COPD could consist in using activators of mutant or wild-type CFTR. In particular, the anion secretion increase across CFTR may facilitate fluid transport into the airway surface liquid to hydrate the mucus and optimize periciliary fluid viscosity. The resulting enhanced mucociliary clearance would help in reducing the symptoms associated with COPD.

[0015] Dry eye disease is characterized by a decrease in tear production and abnormal tear film lipid, protein and mucin profiles. Many factors may cause dry eye disease, some of which include age, arthritis, Lasik eye surgery, chemical/thermal burns, medications, allergies, and diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and Sjogrens’s syndrome. Increasing anion secretion via CFTR could enhance fluid transport from the corneal endothelial cells and secretory glands surrounding the eye, and eventually improve corneal hydration, thus helping to alleviate dry eye disease associated symptoms. Sjogrens’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease where the immune system harms moisture-producing glands throughout the body, including the eye, mouth, skin, respiratory tissue, liver, vagina, and gut. The ensuing symptoms, include, dry eye, mouth, and vagina, as well as lung disease. Sjogrens’s syndrome is also associated with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, systemic sclerosis, and polymypositis/dermatomyositis. The cause of the disease is believed to lie in defective protein trafficking, for which treatment options are limited. As a consequence, modulation of CFTR activity may help hydrating the various organs and help to elevate the associated symptoms.

In addition to CF, the defective protein trafficking induced by the AF508-CFTR has been shown to be the underlying basis for a wide range of other diseases, in particular diseases where the defective functioning of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) may either prevent the CFTR protein to exit the cell, and/or the misfolded protein is degraded (Morello et al., 2000; Shastry, 2003; Zhang et al., 2012).

[0017] A number of genetic diseases are associated with a defective ER processing equivalent to the defect observed with CFTR in CF such as glycanosis CDG type 1, hereditary emphysema (α-1-antitrypsin (PiZ variant)), congenital hyperthyroidism, osteogenesis imperfecta (Type I, II, or IV procollagen), hereditary hypofibrinogenemia (fibrinogen), ACT deficiency (α-1-antichymotrypsin), diabetes insipidus (DI), neurophyseal DI (vasopvessin hormoneN2 -receptor), neprogenic DI (aquaporin II), Charcot-Marie Tooth syndrome (peripheral myelin protein 22), Perlizaeus-Merzbacher disease, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (APP and presenilins), Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, progressive supranuclear plasy, Pick’s disease, several polyglutamine neurological disorders such as Huntington’s disease, spinocerebullar ataxia type I, spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy,

dentatorubal pallidoluysian, and myotonic dystrophy, as well as spongiform encephalopathies, such as hereditary Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (prion protein processing defect), Fabry disease (lysosomal a-galactosidase A), Straussler-Scheinker syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dry eye disease, and Sjogren’s Syndrome.

In addition to up-regulation of the activity of CFTR, anion secretion reduction by CFTR modulators may be beneficial for the treatment of secretory diarrheas, in which epithelial water transport is dramatically increased as a result of secretagogue activated chloride transport. The mechanism involves elevation of cAMP and stimulation of CFTR.

[0019] Regardless of the cause, excessive chloride transport is seen in all diarrheas, and results in dehydration, acidosis, impaired growth and death. Acute and chronic diarrheas remain a major medical problem worldwide, and are a significant factor in malnutrition, leading to death in children of less than five years old (5,000,000 deaths/year). Furthermore, in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and/or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), diarrhea is a dangerous condition

amide coupling

HO Λ R-i

Example 2. Synthesis of intermediates

Intermediate 2: 2,2, 6,6-tetramethyltetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one

Phorone or 2,6-dimethyl-2,5-heptadien-4-one (1 eq) is mixed with an aqueous 1 M HCI solution and the obtained emulsion is stirred at 40°C for 6 days. The water phase is extracted with DCM, and the organic phase is concentrated and purified by distillation to afford the desired product.

Alternative synthesis of Intermediate 2

[00208] A 20 L reactor is charged with aqueous 6M HCI and is warmed up to 30 °C. Molten Phorone is added while stirring vigorously at 40°C for up to 3 h until completion. The resulting solution is then cooled to 30°C and extracted with 4 x 1 L DCM. The combined organic phases are washed with saturated NaHC0₃ solution (400 niL) and are dried over Na₂S0₄. The resulting crude misture is then concentrated under vacuo, and finally purified by distillation.

Intermediate 3: 2-Amino-5,5, 7, 7-tetramethyl-4, 7-dihydro-5H-thieno[2, 3-c]pyran-3-carboxylic acid amide

Route 1 :

To a flask containing 2,2,6,6-tetramethyltetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one (Int 2, 1 eq), cyanoacetamide (1 eq), sulfur (0.9 eq) and diethylamine (1.1 eq) are added. EtOH is then added and the resulting mixture is stirred at 40°C overnight. The reaction is diluted with water and partially concentrated by evaporation causing the precipitation of a solid that is separated by filtration. The cake is then washed with water and hexane to afford the desired product.

Alternative synthesis 1 of intermediate 3

Starting from 2,2,6,6-tetramethyltetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one (Int 2, 1 eq), cyanoacetamide (1.1 eq) and morpholine (1.5 eq) are heated in EtOH at 80°C under inert atmosphere. After 6 h of heating, the mixture is cooled down, and sulfur (1.1 eq) is added. Next, the mixture is heated at 80°C overnight, then concentrated in vacuo and extracted with saturated NH₄C1 and NaHCOs. The organic phase is subsequently dried over MgSO i, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue obtained can finally be purified by column chromatography.

Alternative synthesis 2 of intermediate 3

A 20L glass reactor with a mechanical stirrer (400 rpm) and a reflux condenser is charged with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyltetrahydro-4H-pyran-4-one (Int 2) (1.466 kg, 9.01 mol, l eq) and 2-cyanoacetamide (1.363 kg, 1.8 eq.) followed by absolute EtOH (4.5 L) and morpholine (0.706 kg, 0.9 eq.). The resulting suspension is heated for 23 h at 75°C (internal temperature). After 23 h, sulfur (0.26 kg, 0.9 eq.) is added in one portion at 75°C and the resulting suspension is stirred further for 90 min after which the resulting solution is cooled to 20°C. Then, the entire solution is concentrated in vacuo (50 mbar / 45°C) to yield a solid residue. Water (13.5 L) is added in one portion at 75°C and the mixture is cooled to 22°C. Stirring (700 rpm at 22°C) is continued for 2.5h. The solids are separated by filtration, dried under vacuum suction, and subsequently in the vacuum oven at 40°C over 3d to obtain yield the desired product.

Intermediate 11: Dipyrazolo l,5-a;l ‘,5’-dJpyrazine-4,9-dione

[00213] 10 g (89 mmol) of pyrrazole carboxylic acid is suspended in toluene 100 mL at room temperature. Then, 2 equivalents of thionyl chloride are added, followed by a catalytic amount of DMF (0.5 ml). The mixture was stirred for lh at 75°C. After lh at 70 °C, the reaction was cooled to room temperature, the solid material was collected by filtration, washed with toluene and resuspended in DCM. Triethylamine (2 equivalents) was added and the suspension was stirred for 2h at room temperature. The product was collected by filtration, washed with DCM and dried at 40°C under vacuum to afford the desired product.

Example 4. Illustrative examples for the Preparation of the Compounds of Invention

Compound 2: N-(3-carbamoyl-5, 5, 7, 7 -tetramet yl-5 , 7-dihydro-4H-thieno[2, 3-c]pyran-2-yl)-lH-pyr zole-5-carboxamide

[00274] Intermediate 3 (15 g, 59 mmol) and 2H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (9.9 g, 88 mmol) are suspended in DCM (250 mL). Mukaiyama reagent (2-chloro-l-methylpyridinium iodide) (18.1 g, 71 mmol), TEA (24.7 mL, 177 mmol) and DMAP (3.6 g, 29 mmol) are added. The reaction mixture is stirred at 40°C overnight and then cooled. The mixture is evaporated and the obtained crude is suspended in a 1 M HC1 solution. After stirring for 10 min, the suspension is filtered and obtained precipitate is isolated. This precipitate is re-suspended in a 0.1 M citric acid solution. Again, filtration gives a precipitate. A third trituration is done using ether as a solvent to give a precipitate after filtration. Finally, the precipitate (13.6 g) is suspended in EtOH (816 mL) and heated at reflux. To this suspension, 65 mL of DMF is added and a clear solution is obtained. The solution is concentrated to 275 mL and cooled at 0°C. A suspension is obtained, the solid is separated by filtration, and the cake is dried affording the desired product.

Alternative route

[00275] To a stirred (400 rpm) solution of 600 g (2.36 mol) of Intermediate 3 in DMAc (6 L), is added at ambient temperature 1.3 equivalents of Intermediate 11. To this resulting suspension, at room temperature, DIPEA (618 mL, 1.5 eq.) is added in small portions over a period of 5 min. The resulting suspension is heated to 80 °C and stirred for 18h at this temperature. The resulting mixture is cooled to 15°C and an aqueous saturated NH₄C1 solution (7.5 L) is added over 30 minutes thus maintening the internal temperature between 15-24 °C. The resulting solid product is collected by filtration, and triturated with water (7.5 L) under mechanical stirring (600 rpm) for 30 min. The resulting suspension is filtered and the resulting solid is triturated in MTBE (8 L) under mechanical stirring for 45 minutes. The resulting solid is separated by filtration, and dried in a vacuum stove.

[00276] Finally, the solid is purified by hot trituration in ethanol. Therefore, the crude solid is suspended in absolute EtOH (16 L) for 1.5 h at 78 °C. The suspension is cooled to 20 °C and subsequently stirred for another hour. The solid product was collected by filtration, washed with 500 mL and again with 200 ml absolute EtOH, then dried to yield the desired product.

QNZ(EVP4593) is a derivative of 6-aminoquinazoline class that has been previously isolated as an inhibitor of PMA/PHA-induced NF-κB pathway activation in Jurkat cells (IC50= 9 nM).
IC50 Value: 9 nM [1]
Target: NF-kB signaling
in vitro: The efficacy of EVP4593 was dose-dependent in the range between 100 uM and 400 uM in the fly food. The EVP4593 had no significant effect on climbing performance of HD flies at 50 ?M. The EVP4593 had no toxic effects on Drosophila in the range of concentrations tested in our assays (50 – 400 ?M) [1]. Addition of 300 nM of EVP4593 resulted in strong attenuation of SOC Ca2+ influx in YAC128 MSN neurons. On average the amplitude of SOC Ca2+ entry in YAC128 MSN was reduced from 0.30 ± 0.02 (n = 29) in the presence of DMSO control to 0.11 ± 0.02 (n = 54) in the presence of 300 nM of EVP4593 (p < 0.001).

Abstract

By probing the quinone substrate binding site of mitochondrial complex I with a focused set of quinazoline-based compounds, we identified substitution patterns as being critical for the observed inhibition. The structure activity relationship study also resulted in the discovery of the quinazoline 4-N-[2-(4-phenoxyphenyl)ethyl]quinazoline-4,6-diamine (EVP4593) as a highly potent inhibitor of the multisubunit membrane protein. EVP4593 specifically and effectively reduces the mitochondrial complex I-dependent respiration with no effect on the respiratory chain complexes II–IV. Similar to established Q-site inhibitors, EVP4593 elicits the release of reactive oxygen species at the flavin site of mitochondrial complex I. Recently, EVP4593 was nominated as a lead compound for the treatment of Huntingtons disease. Our results challenge the postulated primary mode-of-action of EVP4593 as an inhibitor of NF-κB pathway activation and/or store-operated calcium influx.

Abstract

We disclose here a new structural class of low-molecular-weight inhibitors of NF-κB activation that were designed and synthesized by starting from quinazoline derivative 6a. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies based on 6a elucidated the structural requirements essential for the inhibitory activity toward NF-κB transcriptional activation, and led to the identification of the 6-amino-4-phenethylaminoquinazoline skeleton as the basic framework. In this series of compounds, 11q, containing the 4-phenoxyphenethyl moiety at the C(4)-position, showed strong inhibitory effects on both NF-κB transcriptional activation and TNF-α production. Furthermore, 11q exhibited an anti-inflammatory effect on carrageenin-induced paw edema in rats.

Compound 11q exhibited a highly inhibitory activity toward NF-κB activation and also showed an anti-inflammatory effect.

Abstract

A concise and economically attractive process for the synthesis of a novel tyrosinase inhibitor has been developed and implemented on a multikilogram scale under GMP. A major achievement to the success of the process is the development of a direct coupling between free resorcinol and ketone. First developed under basic conditions, this coupling has been turned to a novel titanium(IV) mediated process allowing good selectivity, easy isolation, and high atom efficiency. Other key steps feature an alkene reduction by palladium catalyzed transfer hydrogenation and a urea formation using N,N′-disuccinimidyl carbonate as the carbonyl source. This route allowed us to produce kilogram batches of the candidate to support preclinical and clinical studies.

Hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma are characterized by an increase in melanin synthesis which accumulates in the epidermis and is responsible for a darkening of the skin. Melanogenesis occurs in the basal layer of the epidermis into specific organelles of the melanocytes called melanosomes.

A detailed analysis of the biosynthetic pathway reveals that tyrosinase is a key enzyme in melanogenesis and is responsible for the oxidation of tyrosine into DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) and DOPA quinone.

It is a melanogenesis inhibitor working through the inhibition of tyrosinase (IC₅₀ = 0.1 μM on normal human epidermal melanocytes) currently under development at Nestlé Skin Health R&D for the topical treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders. REF 1-5

WO 2010063774

Novel 4- (azacycloalkyl)benzene-l ,3-diol compounds as tyrosinase inhibitors, process for the preparation thereof and use thereof in human medicine and in cosmetics

The invention relates to novel 4- (azacycloalkyl) benzene-1, 3-diol compounds as industrial and useful products. It also relates to the process for the preparation thereof and to the use thereof, as tyrosinase inhibitors, in pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions for use in the treatment or prevention of pigmentary disorders.

Skin pigmentation, in particular human skin pigmentation, is the result of melanin synthesis by dendritic cells, melanocytes. Melanocytes contain organelles called melanosomes which transfer melanin into the upper layers of keratinocytes which are then transported to the surface of the skin through differentiation of the epidermis (Gilchrest BA, Park HY, Eller MS, Yaar M, Mechanisms of ultraviolet light-induced pigmentation. Photochem Photobiol 1996; 63: 1-10; Hearing VJ, Tsukamoto K, Enzymatic control of pigmentation in mammals. FASEB J 1991; 5: 2902-2909) .

Among the enzymes of melanogenesis, tyrosinase is a key enzyme which catalyses the first two steps of melanin synthesis. Homozygous mutations of tyrosinase cause oculocutaneous albinism type I characterized by a complete lack of melanin synthesis (Toyofuku K, Wada I, Spritz RA, Hearing VJ, The molecular basis of oculocutaneous albinism type 1 (OCAl) : sorting failure and degradation of mutant tyrosinases results in a lack of pigmentation. Biochem J 2001; 355: 259-269) .

In order to treat pigmentation disorders resulting from an increase in melanin production, for which there is no treatment that meets all the expectations of patients and dermatologists, it is important to develop new therapeutic approaches.

Most of the skin-lightening compounds that are already known are phenols or hydroquinone derivatives.

These compounds inhibit tyrosinase, but the majority of them are cytotoxic to melanocytes owing to the formation of quinones. There is a risk of this toxic effect causing a permanent depigmentation of the skin. The obtaining of compounds that can inhibit melanogenesis while at the same time being very weakly cytotoxic or devoid of toxicity to melanocytes is most particularly sought.

Among the compounds already described in the literature, patent application WO 99/15148 discloses the use of 4-cycloalkyl resorcinols as depigmenting agents .

Patent FR2704428 discloses the use of 4-halo-resorcinols as depigmenting agents.

Patent applications WO 2006/097224 and WO 2006/097223 disclose the use of 4-cycloalkylmethyl resorcinols as depigmenting agents.

Patent application WO 2005/085169 discloses the use of alkyl 3- (2, 4-dihydroxyphenyl) propionate as a depigmenting agent.

Patent application WO 2004/017936 discloses the use of 3- (2, 4-dihydroxyphenyl) acrylamide as a depigmenting agent.

Patent application WO 2004/052330 discloses the use of 4- [ 1, 3] dithian-2-ylresorcinols as depigmenting agents .

More particularly, patent EP0341664 discloses the use of 4-alkyl resorcinols as depigmenting agents, among which 4-n-butyl resorcinol, also known as rucinol, is part of the composition of a depigmenting cream sold under the name Iklen^®.

The applicant has now discovered, unexpectedly and surprisingly, that novel compounds of 4- (azacycloalkyl) benzene-1, 3-diol structure have a very good tyrosinase enzyme-inhibiting activity and a very low cytotoxicity. Furthermore, these compounds have a tyrosinase enzyme-inhibiting activity that is greater than that of rucinol while at the same time being less cytotoxic with respect to melanocytes than rucinol.

These compounds find uses in human medicine, in particular in dermatology, and in the cosmetics field.
