Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present application is concerned with pharmaceutically
active compounds. The disclosure provides compounds as well as
their compositions and methods of use. The compounds modulate
PD-1/PD-L1 protein/protein interaction and are useful in the
treatment of various diseases including infectious diseases and
cancer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The immune system plays an important role in controlling and
eradicating diseases such as cancer. However, cancer cells often
develop strategies to evade or to suppress the immune system in
order to favor their growth. One such mechanism is altering the
expression of co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules expressed
on immune cells (Postow et al, J. Clinical Oncology 2015, 1-9).
Blocking the signaling of an inhibitory immune checkpoint, such as
PD-1, has proven to be a promising and effective treatment
modality.
[0003] Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), also known as CD279, is a
cell surface receptor expressed on activated T cells, natural
killer T cells, B cells, and macrophages (Greenwald et al, Annu.
Rev. Immunol 2005, 23:515-548; Okazaki and Honjo, Trends Immunol
2006, (4): 195-201). It functions as an intrinsic negative feedback
system to prevent the activation of T-cells, which in turn reduces
autoimmunity and promotes self-tolerance. In addition, PD-1 is also
known to play a critical role in the suppression of
antigen-specific T cell response in diseases like cancer and viral
infection (Sharpe et al, Nat Immunol 2007 8, 239-245; Postow et al,
J. Clinical Oncol 2015, 1-9).
[0004] The structure of PD-1 consists of an extracellular
immunoglobulin variable-like domain followed by a transmembrane
region and an intracellular domain (Parry et al, Mol Cell Biol
2005, 9543-9553). The intracellular domain contains two
phosphorylation sites located in an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based
inhibitory motif and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif,
which suggests that PD-1 negatively regulates T cell
receptor-mediated signals. PD-1 has two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2
(Parry et al, Mol Cell Biol 2005, 9543-9553; Latchman et al, Nat
Immunol 2001, 2, 261-268), and they differ in their expression
patterns. PD-L1 protein is upregulated on macrophages and dendritic
cells in response to lipopolysaccharide and GM-CSF treatment, and
on T cells and B cells upon T cell receptor and B cell receptor
signaling. PD-L1 is also highly expressed on almost all tumor
cells, and the expression is further increased after IFN-.gamma.
treatment (Iwai et al, PNAS2002, 99(19):12293-7; Blank et al,
Cancer Res 2004, 64(3):1140-5). In fact, tumor PD-L1 expression
status has been shown to be prognostic in multiple tumor types
(Wang et al, Eur J Surg Oncol 2015; Huang et al, Oncol Rep 2015;
Sabatier et al, Oncotarget 2015, 6(7): 5449-5464). PD-L2
expression, in contrast, is more restricted and is expressed mainly
by dendritic cells (Nakae et al, J Immunol 2006, 177:566-73).
Ligation of PD-1 with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 on T cells
delivers a signal that inhibits IL-2 and IFN-.gamma. production, as
well as cell proliferation induced upon T cell receptor activation
(Carter et al, Eur J Immunol 2002, 32(3):634-43; Freeman et al, J
Exp Med 2000, 192(7): 1027-34). The mechanism involves recruitment
of SHP-2 or SHP-1 phosphatases to inhibit T cell receptor signaling
such as Syk and Lck phosphorylation (Sharpe et al, Nat Immunol
2007, 8, 239-245). Activation of the PD-1 signaling axis also
attenuates PKC-.theta. activation loop phosphorylation, which is
necessary for the activation of NF-.kappa.B and API pathways, and
for cytokine production such as IL-2, IFN-.gamma. and TNF (Sharpe
et al, Nat Immunol 2007, 8, 239-245; Carter et al, Eur J Immunol
2002, 32(3):634-43; Freeman et al, J Exp Med 2000,
192(7):1027-34).
[0005] Several lines of evidence from preclinical animal studies
indicate that PD-1 and its ligands negatively regulate immune
responses. PD-1-deficient mice have been shown to develop
lupus-like glomerulonephritis and dilated cardiomyopathy (Nishimura
et al, Immunity 1999, 11:141-151; Nishimura et al, Science 2001,
291:319-322). Using an LCMV model of chronic infection, it has been
shown that PD-1/PD-L1 interaction inhibits activation, expansion
and acquisition of effector functions of virus-specific CD8 T cells
(Barber et al, Nature 2006, 439, 682-7). Together, these data
support the development of a therapeutic approach to block the
PD-1-mediated inhibitory signaling cascade in order to augment or
"rescue" T cell response. Accordingly, there is a need for new
compounds that block PD-1/PD-L1 protein/protein interaction.

[0251] It is further appreciated that certain features of the
invention, which are, for clarity, described in the context of
separate embodiments, can also be provided in combination in a
single embodiment (while the embodiments are intended to be
combined as if written in multiply dependent form). Conversely,
various features of the invention which are, for brevity, described
in the context of a single embodiment, can also be provided
separately or in any suitable subcombination. Thus, it is
contemplated as features described as embodiments of the compounds
of Formula (I') or formula (I) can be combined in any suitable
combination.
[0252] At various places in the present specification, certain
features of the compounds are disclosed in groups or in ranges. It
is specifically intended that such a disclosure include each and
every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and
ranges. For example, the term "C.sub.1-6 alkyl" is specifically
intended to individually disclose (without limitation) methyl,
ethyl, C.sub.3 alkyl, C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.5 alkyl and C.sub.6
alkyl.
[0253] The term "n-membered," where n is an integer, typically
describes the number of ring-forming atoms in a moiety where the
number of ring-forming atoms is n. For example, piperidinyl is an
example of a 6-membered heterocycloalkyl ring, pyrazolyl is an
example of a 5-membered heteroaryl ring, pyridyl is an example of a
6-membered heteroaryl ring and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene is an
example of a 10-membered cycloalkyl group.
[0254] At various places in the present specification, variables
defining divalent linking groups may be described. It is
specifically intended that each linking substituent include both
the forward and backward forms of the linking substituent. For
example, --NR(CR'R'').sub.n-- includes both --NR(CR'R'').sub.n--
and --(CR'R'').sub.nNR-- and is intended to disclose each of the
forms individually. Where the structure requires a linking group,
the Markush variables listed for that group are understood to be
linking groups. For example, if the structure requires a linking
group and the Markush group definition for that variable lists
"alkyl" or "aryl" then it is understood that the "alkyl" or "aryl"
represents a linking alkylene group or arylene group,
respectively.
[0255] The term "substituted" means that an atom or group of atoms
formally replaces hydrogen as a "substituent" attached to another
group. The term "substituted", unless otherwise indicated, refers
to any level of substitution, e.g., mono-, di-, tri-, tetra- or
penta-substitution, where such substitution is permitted. The
substituents are independently selected, and substitution may be at
any chemically accessible position. It is to be understood that
substitution at a given atom is limited by valency. It is to be
understood that substitution at a given atom results in a
chemically stable molecule. The phrase "optionally substituted"
means unsubstituted or substituted. The term "substituted" means
that a hydrogen atom is removed and replaced by a substituent. A
single divalent substituent, e.g., oxo, can replace two hydrogen
atoms.

having one or more stereocenters). All stereoisomers, such as
enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended unless otherwise
indicated. Compounds of the present invention that contain
asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be isolated in
optically active or racemic forms. Methods on how to prepare
optically active forms from optically inactive starting materials
are known in the art, such as by resolution of racemic mixtures or
by stereoselective synthesis. Many geometric isomers of olefins,
C.dbd.N double bonds and the like can also be present in the
compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are
contemplated in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric
isomers of the compounds of the present invention are described and
may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric
forms.
[0280] Resolution of racemic mixtures of compounds can be carried
out by any of numerous methods known in the art. One method
includes fractional recrystallization using a chiral resolving acid
which is an optically active, salt-forming organic acid. Suitable
resolving agents for fractional recrystallization methods are,
e.g., optically active acids, such as the D and L forms of tartaric
acid, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid,
malic acid, lactic acid or the various optically active
camphorsulfonic acids such as .beta.-camphorsulfonic acid. Other
resolving agents suitable for fractional crystallization methods
include stereoisomerically pure forms of .alpha.-methylbenzylamine
(e.g., S and R forms, or diastereomerically pure forms),
2-phenylglycinol, norephedrine, ephedrine, N-methylephedrine,
cyclohexylethylamine, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane and the like.
[0281] Resolution of racemic mixtures can also be carried out by
elution on a column packed with an optically active resolving agent
(e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine). Suitable elution solvent
composition can be determined by one skilled in the art.
[0282] In some embodiments, the compounds of the invention have the
(R)-configuration. In other embodiments, the compounds have the
(S)-configuration. In compounds with more than one chiral centers,
each of the chiral centers in the compound may be independently (R)
or (S), unless otherwise indicated.
[0283] Compounds of the invention also include tautomeric forms.
Tautomeric forms result from the swapping of a single bond with an
adjacent double bond together with the concomitant migration of a
proton. Tautomeric forms include prototropic tautomers which are
isomeric protonation states having the same empirical formula and
total charge. Example prototropic tautomers include ketone-enol
pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, lactam-lactim pairs, enamine-imine
pairs, and annular forms where a proton can occupy two or more
positions of a heterocyclic system, e.g., 1H- and 3H-imidazole,
1H-, 2H- and 4H-1,2,4-triazole, 1H- and 2H-isoindole and 1H- and
2H-pyrazole. Tautomeric forms can be in equilibrium or sterically
locked into one form by appropriate substitution.
[0284] Compounds of the invention can also include all isotopes of
atoms occurring in the intermediates or final compounds. Isotopes
include those atoms having the same atomic number but different
mass numbers. For example, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and
deuterium. One or more constituent atoms of the compounds of the
invention can be replaced or substituted with isotopes of the atoms
in natural or non-natural abundance. In some embodiments, the
compound includes at least one deuterium atom. For example, one or
more hydrogen atoms in a compound of the present disclosure can be
replaced or substituted by deuterium. In some embodiments, the
compound includes two or more deuterium atoms. In some embodiments,
the compound includes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12
deuterium atoms. Synthetic methods for including isotopes into
organic compounds are known in the art.
[0285] The term, "compound," as used herein is meant to include all
stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers and isotopes of the
structures depicted. The term is also meant to refer to compounds
of the inventions, regardless of how they are prepared, e.g.,
synthetically, through biological process (e.g., metabolism or
enzyme conversion), or a combination thereof.
[0286] All compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts
thereof, can be found together with other substances such as water
and solvents (e.g., hydrates and solvates) or can be isolated. When
in the solid state, the compounds described herein and salts
thereof may occur in various forms and may, e.g., take the form of
solvates, including hydrates. The compounds may be in any solid
state form, such as a polymorph or solvate, so unless clearly
indicated otherwise, reference in the specification to compounds
and salts thereof should be understood as encompassing any solid
state form of the compound.
[0287] In some embodiments, the compounds of the invention, or
salts thereof, are substantially isolated. By "substantially
isolated" is meant that the compound is at least partially or
substantially separated from the environment in which it was formed
or detected. Partial separation can include, e.g., a composition
enriched in the compounds of the invention. Substantial separation
can include compositions containing at least about 50%, at least
about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about
90%, at least about 95%, at least about 97%, or at least about 99%
by weight of the compounds of the invention, or salt thereof.
[0288] The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" is employed herein
to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions and/or dosage
forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment,
suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and
animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response,
or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable
benefit/risk ratio.
[0289] The expressions, "ambient temperature" and "room
temperature," as used herein, are understood in the art, and refer
generally to a temperature, e.g., a reaction temperature, that is
about the temperature of the room in which the reaction is carried
out, e.g., a temperature from about 20.degree. C. to about
30.degree. C.
[0290] The present invention also includes pharmaceutically
acceptable salts of the compounds described herein. The term
"pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to derivatives of the
disclosed compounds wherein the parent compound is modified by
converting an existing acid or base moiety to its salt form.
Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not
limited to, mineral or organic acid salts of basic residues such as
amines; alkali or organic salts of acidic residues such as
carboxylic acids; and the like. The pharmaceutically acceptable
salts of the present invention include the non-toxic salts of the
parent compound formed, e.g., from non-toxic inorganic or organic
acids. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present
invention can be synthesized from the parent compound which
contains a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods.
Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting the free acid or
base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the
appropriate base or acid in water or in an organic solvent, or in a
mixture of the two; generally, non-aqueous media like ether, ethyl
acetate, alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, iso-propanol or
butanol) or acetonitrile (MeCN) are preferred. Lists of suitable
salts are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17.sup.th
Ed., (Mack Publishing Company, Easton, 1985), p. 1418, Berge et
al., J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66(1), 1-19 and in Stahl et al.,
Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use,
(Wiley, 2002). In some embodiments, the compounds described herein
include the N-oxide forms.
II. Synthesis
[0291] Compounds of the invention, including salts thereof, can be
prepared using known organic synthesis techniques and can be
synthesized according to any of numerous possible synthetic routes,
such as those in the Schemes below.
[0292] The reactions for preparing compounds of the invention can
be carried out in suitable solvents which can be readily selected
by one of skill in the art of organic synthesis. Suitable solvents
can be substantially non-reactive with the starting materials
(reactants), the intermediates or products at the temperatures at
which the reactions are carried out, e.g., temperatures which can
range from the solvent's freezing temperature to the solvent's
boiling temperature. A given reaction can be carried out in one
solvent or a mixture of more than one solvent. Depending on the
particular reaction step, suitable solvents for a particular
reaction step can be selected by the skilled artisan.
[0293] Preparation of compounds of the invention can involve the
protection and deprotection of various chemical groups. The need
for protection and deprotection, and the selection of appropriate
protecting groups, can be readily determined by one skilled in the
art. The chemistry of protecting groups is described, e.g., in
Kocienski, Protecting Groups, (Thieme, 2007); Robertson, Protecting
Group Chemistry, (Oxford University Press, 2000); Smith et al.,
March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and
Structure, 6.sup.th Ed. (Wiley, 2007); Peturssion et al.,
"Protecting Groups in Carbohydrate Chemistry," J Chem. Educ., 1997,
74(11), 1297; and Wuts et al., Protective Groups in Organic
Synthesis, 4th Ed., (Wiley, 2006).
[0294] Reactions can be monitored according to any suitable method
known in the art. For example, product formation can be monitored
by spectroscopic means, such as nuclear magnetic resonance
spectroscopy (e.g., .sup.1H or .sup.13C), infrared spectroscopy,
spectrophotometry (e.g., UV-visible), mass spectrometry or by
chromatographic methods such as high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) or thin layer chromatography (TLC).
[0295] The Schemes below provide general guidance in connection
with preparing the compounds of the invention. One skilled in the
art would understand that the preparations shown in the Schemes can
be modified or optimized using general knowledge of organic
chemistry to prepare various compounds of the invention.
[0296] Compounds of Formula (I') and Formula (I) can be synthesized
using a process shown in Scheme 1. In Scheme 1, a suitable halo
(W.sub.1)-substituted aromatic amine 1 is reacted with a suitable
coupling reagent 2 (where M is, e.g., --B(OH).sub.2) to produce
compound 3 under standard metal catalyzed cross-coupling reaction
conditions (such as Suzuki coupling reaction, e.g., in the presence
of a palladium catalyst (e.g.,
1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]-dichloropalladium(II)) and a
base (e.g., a bicarbonate or a carbonate base)). Then the aromatic
amine 3 is reacted with an acid of formula 4 under suitable
conditions forming an amide bond to provide the product of formula
(I) using coupling reagents such as, but not limited to, HATU and
DIPEA.
##STR00030##
[0297] Compounds of the invention (8a) can be synthesized using a
process shown in Scheme 2. The aromatic amine 3 is reacted with an
acid of formula 5 under suitable conditions forming an amide bond
to provide the product 6, using coupling reagents such as, but not
limited to, HATU and DIPEA. The compound of formula 7 can be
synthesized by coupling the halo group (W.sub.2) of 6 with a vinyl
reagent (e.g., vinyl boronic acid pinacol ester) under standard
coupling reaction conditions (such as Suzuki coupling reaction,
e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst (e.g.,
1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II)) and a
base (e.g., a bicarbonate or a carbonate base)). The vinyl group in
compound 7 is oxidatively cleaved to afford an aldehyde of formula
8 in the presence of suitable reagents such as, but not limited to,
OsO.sub.4 and NaIO.sub.4. Then compounds of formula 8a are obtained
by a reductive amination between the compound of formula 8 and a
suitable amine in a proper solvent such as THF or DCM using a
reducing agent such as, but not limited to, sodium
triacetoxyborohydride, optionally in the presence of an acid such
as acetic acid.
##STR00031##
[0298] Compounds of formula 8a can be alternatively synthesized
using a process shown in Scheme 3. The aromatic amine 3 is reacted
with an acid of formula 9 under suitable conditions to form an
amide bond providing the product of formula 10, using coupling
reagents such as, but not limited to, HATU and DIPEA. Subsequent
reduction of the ester group in compound 10 can give an alcohol of
formula 11 using a suitable reducing agent such as, but not limited
to, lithium aluminum hydride. The alcohol unit in compound 11 was
oxidized to aldehyde in compound 8 with a suitable oxidant such as,
but not limited to, Dess-Martin periodinane. Then the compound of
formula 8a was obtained by a reductive amination between formula 8
and a suitable amine in a proper solvent such as THF or DCM using a
reducing agent such as, but not limited to, sodium
triacetoxyborohydride, optionally in the presence of an acid such
as acetic acid.
##STR00032##
[0299] Compounds of the invention (15a) can be synthesized using a
process shown in Scheme 4. The aromatic amine 3 is reacted with an
acid of formula 12 under suitable conditions forming an amide bond
to provide the product of formula 13, using coupling reagents such
as, but not limited to, HATU and DIPEA. The compound of formula 14
can be synthesized by coupling the halo group (W.sub.3) of 13 with
a vinyl reagent (e.g., vinyl boronic acid pinacol ester) under
standard coupling reaction conditions (such as Suzuki coupling
reaction, e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst (e.g.,
1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II)) and a
base (e.g., a bicarbonate or a carbonate base)). The vinyl group in
compound 14 is oxidatively cleaved to afford an aldehyde of formula
15 in the presence of suitable reagents such as, but not limited
to, OsO.sub.4 and NaIO.sub.4. Then the compound of formula 15a is
obtained by a reductive amination between the compound of formula
15 and a suitable amine in a proper solvent such as THF or DCM
using a reducing agent such as, but not limited to, sodium
triacetoxyborohydride, optionally in the presence of an acid such
as acetic acid.
##STR00033##
[0300] Compounds of Formula 19 can be prepared using procedures as
outlined in Scheme 5. Acids of formula 4 can react with aromatic
amines of formula 16 under amide coupling conditions [e.g., in the
presence of
1-[Bis(dimethylamino)methylene]-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridinium
3-oxid hexafluorophosphate (HATU) and a suitable base such as
N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA)] to give amide derivatives of
formula 17. The halide (e.g., Hal.sup.1=Cl, Br, I) in compounds 17
can be coupled to compounds of formula 18, in which M is a boronic
acid, boronic ester or an appropriately substituted metal [e.g., M
is B(OR).sub.2, Sn(Alkyl).sub.4, or Zn-Hal], under Suzuki coupling
conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a
suitable base) or Stille coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence
of a palladium catalyst), or Negishi coupling conditions (e.g., in
the presence of a palladium catalyst) to give derivatives of
formula 19. Alternatively, compound 18 can be a cyclic amine (where
M is H and attached to an amine nitrogen in ring A) and the
coupling of aryl halide 17 with the cyclic amine 18 can be
performed under Buchwald amination conditions (e.g., in the
presence of a palladium catalyst and a base such as sodium
tert-butoxide).
##STR00034##
[0301] Alternatively, compounds of formula 19 can also be prepared
using reaction sequence as outlined in Scheme 6. Coupling of
aromatic halides of formula 16 with compounds of formula 18 can be
achieved under similar conditions as described in Scheme 5 (e.g.,
conditions used for coupling of compounds 17 and compounds 18) to
give compounds of formula 20. Acids of formula 4 can react with
aromatic amines of formula 20 under amide coupling conditions to
give compounds of formula 19.

enzyme/protein/receptor inhibitors, exhibiting different
preferences in the targets which they modulate the activities of,
to treat such conditions. Targeting more than one signaling pathway
(or more than one biological molecule involved in a given signaling
pathway) may reduce the likelihood of drug-resistance arising in a

IV. Formulation, Dosage Forms and Administration
[0351] When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of the
present disclosure can be administered in the form of
pharmaceutical compositions. Thus the present disclosure provides a
composition comprising a compound of Formula (I'), Formula (I) or
any of the formulas as described herein, a compound as recited in
any of the claims and described herein, or a pharmaceutically
acceptable salt thereof, or any of the embodiments thereof, and at
least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. These
compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the
pharmaceutical art, and can be administered by a variety of routes,
depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is indicated and
upon the area to be treated. Administration may be topical
(including transdermal, epidermal, ophthalmic and to mucous
membranes including intranasal, vaginal and rectal delivery),
pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or
aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal or intranasal),
oral or parenteral. Parenteral administration includes intravenous,
intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal intramuscular or
injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or
intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be
in the form of a single bolus dose, or may be, e.g., by a
continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and
formulations for topical administration may include transdermal
patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories,
sprays, liquids and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers,
aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be
necessary or desirable.
[0352] This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions
which contain, as the active ingredient, the compound of the
present disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable
carriers or excipients. In some embodiments, the composition is
suitable for topical administration. In making the compositions of
the invention, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an
excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a
carrier in the form of, e.g., a capsule, sachet, paper, or other
container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a
solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle,
carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions
can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets,
cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups,
aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing,
e.g., up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard
gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions and
sterile packaged powders.
[0353] In preparing a formulation, the active compound can be
milled to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining
with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially
insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200
mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the
particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide a substantially
uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g., about 40 mesh.
[0354] The compounds of the invention may be milled using known
milling procedures such as wet milling to obtain a particle size
appropriate for tablet formation and for other formulation types.
Finely divided (nanoparticulate) preparations of the compounds of
the invention can be prepared by processes known in the art see,
e.g., WO 2002/000196.
[0355] Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose,
dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia,
calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium
silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone,
cellulose, water, syrup and methyl cellulose. The formulations can
additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium
stearate and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and
suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and
propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents.
The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to
provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active
ingredient after administration to the patient by employing
procedures known in the art.
[0356] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition
comprises silicified microcrystalline cellulose (SMCC) and at least
one compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable
salt thereof. In some embodiments, the silicified microcrystalline
cellulose comprises about 98% microcrystalline cellulose and about
2% silicon dioxide w/w.
[0357] In some embodiments, the composition is a sustained release
composition comprising at least one compound described herein, or a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one
pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. In some
embodiments, the composition comprises at least one compound
described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
and at least one component selected from microcrystalline
cellulose, lactose monohydrate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and
polyethylene oxide. In some embodiments, the composition comprises
at least one compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically
acceptable salt thereof, and microcrystalline cellulose, lactose
monohydrate and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. In some embodiments,
the composition comprises at least one compound described herein,
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and microcrystalline
cellulose, lactose monohydrate and polyethylene oxide. In some
embodiments, the composition further comprises magnesium stearate
or silicon dioxide. In some embodiments, the microcrystalline
cellulose is Avicel PH102.TM.. In some embodiments, the lactose
monohydrate is Fast-flo 316.TM.. In some embodiments, the
hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2208
K4M (e.g., Methocel K4 M Premier.TM.) and/or hydroxypropyl
methylcellulose 2208 K100LV (e.g., Methocel K00LV.TM.). In some
embodiments, the polyethylene oxide is polyethylene oxide WSR 1105
(e.g., Polyox WSR 1105.TM.).
[0358] In some embodiments, a wet granulation process is used to
produce the composition. In some embodiments, a dry granulation
process is used to produce the composition.
[0359] The compositions can be formulated in a unit dosage form,
each dosage containing from about 5 to about 1,000 mg (1 g), more
usually about 100 mg to about 500 mg, of the active ingredient. In
some embodiments, each dosage contains about 10 mg of the active
ingredient. In some embodiments, each dosage contains about 50 mg
of the active ingredient. In some embodiments, each dosage contains
about 25 mg of the active ingredient. The term "unit dosage forms"
refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for
human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a
predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the
desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable
pharmaceutical excipient.
[0360] The components used to formulate the pharmaceutical
compositions are of high purity and are substantially free of
potentially harmful contaminants (e.g., at least National Food
grade, generally at least analytical grade, and more typically at
least pharmaceutical grade). Particularly for human consumption,
the composition is preferably manufactured or formulated under Good
Manufacturing Practice standards as defined in the applicable
regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. For example,
suitable formulations may be sterile and/or substantially isotonic
and/or in full compliance with all Good Manufacturing Practice
regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
[0361] The active compound may be effective over a wide dosage
range and is generally administered in a therapeutically effective
amount. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the
compound actually administered will usually be determined by a
physician, according to the relevant circumstances, including the
condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the
actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the
individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms and the
like.
[0362] The therapeutic dosage of a compound of the present
invention can vary according to, e.g., the particular use for which
the treatment is made, the manner of administration of the
compound, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment
of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a
compound of the invention in a pharmaceutical composition can vary
depending upon a number of factors including dosage, chemical
characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of
administration. For example, the compounds of the invention can be
provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing
about 0.1 to about 10% w/v of the compound for parenteral
administration. Some typical dose ranges are from about 1 .mu.g/kg
to about 1 g/kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the
dose range is from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body
weight per day. The dosage is likely to depend on such variables as
the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the
overall health status of the particular patient, the relative
biological efficacy of the compound selected, formulation of the
excipient, and its route of administration. Effective doses can be
extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or
animal model test systems.
[0363] For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the
principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical
excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a
homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When
referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, the
active ingredient is typically dispersed evenly throughout the
composition so that the composition can be readily subdivided into
equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and
capsules. This solid preformulation is then subdivided into unit
dosage forms of the type described above containing from, e.g.,
about 0.1 to about 1000 mg of the active ingredient of the present
invention.
[0364] The tablets or pills of the present invention can be coated
or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the
advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can
comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter
being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two
components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to
resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component
to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A
variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or
coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and
mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl
alcohol and cellulose acetate.
[0365] The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of
the present invention can be incorporated for administration orally
or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored
syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with
edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or
peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical
vehicles.
[0366] Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include
solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous
or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid
or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically
acceptable excipients as described supra. In some embodiments, the
compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory
route for local or systemic effect. Compositions can be nebulized
by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be breathed directly
from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device can be attached
to a face mask, tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing
machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions can be
administered orally or nasally from devices which deliver the
formulation in an appropriate manner.
[0367] Topical formulations can contain one or more conventional
carriers. In some embodiments, ointments can contain water and one
or more hydrophobic carriers selected from, e.g., liquid paraffin,
polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, propylene glycol, white Vaseline, and
the like. Carrier compositions of creams can be based on water in
combination with glycerol and one or more other components, e.g.,
glycerinemonostearate, PEG-glycerinemonostearate and cetylstearyl
alcohol. Gels can be formulated using isopropyl alcohol and water,
suitably in combination with other components such as, e.g.,
glycerol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and the like. In some
embodiments, topical formulations contain at least about 0.1, at
least about 0.25, at least about 0.5, at least about 1, at least
about 2 or at least about 5 wt % of the compound of the invention.
The topical formulations can be suitably packaged in tubes of,
e.g., 100 g which are optionally associated with instructions for
the treatment of the select indication, e.g., psoriasis or other
skin condition.
[0368] The amount of compound or composition administered to a
patient will vary depending upon what is being administered, the
purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the
state of the patient, the manner of administration and the like. In
therapeutic applications, compositions can be administered to a
patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to
cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and
its complications. Effective doses will depend on the disease
condition being treated as well as by the judgment of the attending
clinician depending upon factors such as the severity of the
disease, the age, weight and general condition of the patient and
the like.
[0369] The compositions administered to a patient can be in the
form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. These
compositions can be sterilized by conventional sterilization
techniques, or may be sterile filtered. Aqueous solutions can be
packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation
being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to
administration. The pH of the compound preparations typically will
be between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5 to 9 and most
preferably from 7 to 8. It will be understood that use of certain
of the foregoing excipients, carriers or stabilizers will result in
the formation of pharmaceutical salts.
[0370] The therapeutic dosage of a compound of the present
invention can vary according to, e.g., the particular use for which
the treatment is made, the manner of administration of the
compound, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment
of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a
compound of the invention in a pharmaceutical composition can vary
depending upon a number of factors including dosage, chemical
characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of
administration. For example, the compounds of the invention can be
provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing
about 0.1 to about 10% w/v of the compound for parenteral
administration. Some typical dose ranges are from about 1 .mu.g/kg
to about 1 g/kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the
dose range is from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body
weight per day. The dosage is likely to depend on such variables as
the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the
overall health status of the particular patient, the relative
biological efficacy of the compound selected, formulation of the
excipient, and its route of administration. Effective doses can be
extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or
animal model test systems.
V. Labeled Compounds and Assay Methods
[0371] The compounds of the present disclosure can further be
useful in investigations of biological processes in normal and
abnormal tissues. Thus, another aspect of the present invention
relates to labeled compounds of the invention (radio-labeled,
fluorescent-labeled, etc.) that would be useful not only in imaging
techniques but also in assays, both in vitro and in vivo, for
localizing and quantitating PD-1 or PD-L1 protein in tissue
samples, including human, and for identifying PD-L1 ligands by
inhibition binding of a labeled compound. Accordingly, the present
invention includes PD-1/PD-L1 binding assays that contain such
labeled compounds.
[0372] The present invention further includes
isotopically-substituted compounds of the disclosure. An
"isotopically-substituted" compound is a compound of the invention
where one or more atoms are replaced or substituted by an atom
having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass
or mass number typically found in nature (i.e., naturally
occurring). It is to be understood that a "radio-labeled" compound
is a compound that has incorporated at least one isotope that is
radioactive (e.g., radionuclide). Suitable radionuclides that may
be incorporated in compounds of the present invention include but
are not limited to .sup.3H (also written as T for tritium),
.sup.11C, .sup.13C, .sup.14C, .sup.13N, .sup.15N, .sup.15O,
.sup.17O, .sup.18O, .sup.18F, .sup.35S, .sup.36Cl, .sup.82Br,
.sup.75Br, .sup.76Br, .sup.77Br, .sup.123I, .sup.124I, .sup.125I
and .sup.131I. The radionuclide that is incorporated in the instant
radio-labeled compounds will depend on the specific application of
that radio-labeled compound. For example, for in vitro PD-L1
protein labeling and competition assays, compounds that incorporate
.sup.3H, .sup.14C, .sup.82Br, .sup.125I, .sup.131I, .sup.35S or
will generally be most useful. For radio-imaging applications
.sup.11C, .sup.18F, .sup.125I, .sup.123I, .sup.124I, .sup.131I,
.sup.75Br, .sup.76Br or .sup.77Br will generally be most useful. In
some embodiments the radionuclide is selected from the group
consisting of .sup.3H, .sup.14C, .sup.125I, .sup.35S and .sup.82Br.
Synthetic methods for incorporating radio-isotopes into organic
compounds are known in the art.
[0373] Specifically, a labeled compound of the invention can be
used in a screening assay to identify and/or evaluate compounds.
For example, a newly synthesized or identified compound (i.e., test
compound) which is labeled can be evaluated for its ability to bind
a PD-L1 protein by monitoring its concentration variation when
contacting with the PD-L1 protein, through tracking of the
labeling. For example, a test compound (labeled) can be evaluated
for its ability to reduce binding of another compound which is
known to bind to a PD-L1 protein (i.e., standard compound).
Accordingly, the ability of a test compound to compete with the
standard compound for binding to the PD-L1 protein directly
correlates to its binding affinity. Conversely, in some other
screening assays, the standard compound is labeled and test
compounds are unlabeled. Accordingly, the concentration of the
labeled standard compound is monitored in order to evaluate the
competition between the standard compound and the test compound,
and the relative binding affinity of the test compound is thus
ascertained.
VI. Kits
[0374] The present disclosure also includes pharmaceutical kits
useful, e.g., in the treatment or prevention of diseases or
disorders associated with the activity of PD-L1 including its
interaction with other proteins such as PD-1 and B7-1 (CD80), such
as cancer or infections, which include one or more containers
containing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a
therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I'),
Formula (I), or any of the embodiments thereof. Such kits can
further include one or more of various conventional pharmaceutical
kit components, such as, e.g., containers with one or more
pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, additional containers, etc.,
as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
Instructions, either as inserts or as labels, indicating quantities
of the components to be administered, guidelines for
administration, and/or guidelines for mixing the components, can
also be included in the kit.
[0375] The invention will be described in greater detail by way of
specific examples. The following examples are offered for
illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the invention
in any manner. Those of skill in the art will readily recognize a
variety of non-critical parameters which can be changed or modified
to yield essentially the same results. The compounds of the
Examples have been found to inhibit the activity of PD-1/PD-L1
protein/protein interaction according to at least one assay
described herein.

Example A. PD-1/PD-L1 Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF)
Binding Assay
[0664] The assays were conducted in a standard black 384-well
polystyrene plate with a final volume of 20 .mu.L. Inhibitors were
first serially diluted in DMSO and then added to the plate wells
before the addition of other reaction components. The final
concentration of DMSO in the assay was 1%. The assays were carried
out at 25.degree. C. in the PBS buffer (pH 7.4) with 0.05% Tween-20
and 0.1% BSA. Recombinant human PD-L1 protein (19-238) with a
His-tag at the C-terminus was purchased from AcroBiosystems
(PD1-H5229). Recombinant human PD-1 protein (25-167) with Fc tag at
the C-terminus was also purchased from AcroBiosystems (PD1-H5257).
PD-L1 and PD-1 proteins were diluted in the assay buffer and 10
.mu.L was added to the plate well. Plates were centrifuged and
proteins were preincubated with inhibitors for 40 minutes. The
incubation was followed by the addition of 10 .mu.L of HTRF
detection buffer supplemented with Europium cryptate-labeled
anti-human IgG (PerkinElmer-AD0212) specific for Fc and anti-His
antibody conjugated to SureLight.RTM.-Allophycocyanin (APC,
PerkinElmer-AD0059H). After centrifugation, the plate was incubated
at 25.degree. C. for 60 min. before reading on a PHERAstar FS plate
reader (665 nm/620 nm ratio). Final concentrations in the assay
were -3 nM PD1, 10 nM PD-L1, 1 nM europium anti-human IgG and 20 nM
anti-His-Allophycocyanin. IC.sub.50 determination was performed by
fitting the curve of percent control activity versus the log of the
inhibitor concentration using the GraphPad Prism 5.0 software.
[0665] Compounds of the present disclosure, as exemplified in the
Examples, showed IC.sub.50 values in the following ranges:
+=IC.sub.50.ltoreq.10 nM; ++=10 nM<IC.sub.50.ltoreq.100 nM;
+++=100 nM<IC.sub.50.ltoreq.1000 nM; ++++=IC.sub.50>1000
nM
