DESCRIPTION
[Title of the Invention]
HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUND
[Technical Field]
[0001]
The present invention relates to a novel heterocyclic compound having the
effect of inducing
degradation of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-M (IRAK-M) protein and
expected to be
useful for the prevention/treatment of cancer, fibrosis, infectious diseases,
etc., and a drug
containing the same.
[Background Art]
[0002]
Development of compounds that induce ubiquitination of target proteins and
proteasome
degradation by E3 ligase (referred to as Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras
(PROTAC or Specific
and Nongenetic IAP-dependent Protein Eraser (SNIPER) and the like in some
cases) has been
attempted for the purpose of treatment by reducing disease-related proteins
(Non-Patent
Documents 1 to 9). IRAK-M is a member of the IRAK family of protein kinases
and is a
pseudokinase having no kinase activity (Non-Patent Document 10). IRAK-M is
located
downstream of all Toll-like receptors (TLRs) except TLR3 and a protein which
acts as a negative
feedback regulator of the TLR/interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor signaling pathway
in vivo (Non-
Patent Document 11). It is located and expressed in some epithelial cells,
including bile duct
epithelial cells, lung epithelial cells and intestinal epithelial cells, and
in immune cells, especially
myeloid cells. IRAK-M plays an important role in maintaining immune
homeostasis such as
induction of endotoxin tolerance by negatively controlling TLR-mediated
induction signals of
inflammatory cytokines in innate immunocompetent cells such as macrophages and
dendritic
cells. (Non-Patent Document 12). IRAK-M has been reported to contribute to
cancer growth by
contributing to immunosuppression by tumor-related macrophages in the tumor
microenvironment, bone marrow-derived immunosuppressive cells, dendritic cells
and so on
(Non-Patent Documents 13 to 15). Furthermore, IRAK-M has been reported to act
on alveolar
macrophages phagocytosis, defense against bacteria and collagen production
promoting ability,
and is involved in fibrosis, asthma, secondary infection after sepsis, and
infectious complications
of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Non-Patent Documents 16-18).
Therefore,
compounds that induce the degradation of IRAK-M by linking the X-Linked
Inhibitor of
Apoptosis Protein (XIAP) binder, which is a type of E3 ligase, and the IRAK-M
binder via a
linker can be promising therapeutic agents for cancer, fibrosis, infectious
diseases, and IRAK-M
protein-related diseases.

Experimental Example 1: Measurement of XIAP Binding Inhibitory Activity
Human XIAP binding inhibitory activity was measured by the Homogeneous Time
Resolved
Fluorescence (HTRF) method with using commercially available human XIAP_BIR3
domain
purified protein (R & D) and as a ligand a Smac N-terminal peptide (AVPIAQK
(SEQ ID NO: 1))
(hereinafter referred to as "b-Smac"; Peptide Research Laboratories, Inc.)
biotinylated at the C-
terminus according to a conventional method.
The HTRF method will be described in detail below.
The test compound diluted with a reaction buffer (25 mM HEPES Buffer
containing 100 mM
NaCl, 0.1% BSA, and0.1% triton X-100, pH 7.5) was added to a 384-well white
shallow bottom
plate (Greiner 784076) at 1 )(1_, / well and flash centrifuged for 30 seconds.
Subsequently, human
XIAP_BIR3 domain purified protein was diluted with the reaction buffer to
obtain a 90nM
sample diluent, and the resultant sample diluent was added to the above-
mentioned white
superficial plate at 4.5 )(1_, / well and flash centrifuged for 30 seconds.
Subsequently, b-Smac
diluted to 90 nM with the reaction buffer was added to the above-mentioned
white superficial plat
at 4.5 )(1_, / well and flash centrifuged for 30 seconds. A mixed solution of
Anti-6 HIS-Cryptate
(Eu3+ Cryptate-conjugated mouse monoclonal antibody anti-6 Histidine ; cisbio)
and
Streptavidin-XL' (Highgrade XL665-conjugated streptavidin; cisbio) both
diluted 100-fold with
HTRF detection buffer (cisbio) at a volume ratio of 1: 1 was added to the
above white superficial
plate at 10 )(1_, / well. After flash centrifuging the white shallow bottom
plate for 30 seconds, the
white shallow bottom plate was left at room temperature for 4 hours or more in
the dark. The
white superficial plate after being left was subjected to fluorescence
intensity measurement
(excitation wavelength: 320 nm, fluorescence wavelength: 665 nm and 615 nm) by
EnVision
(Perkin Elmer).
The binding inhibition rate (%) was calculated based on the HTRF ratio in the
presence of the
test compound to the HTRF ratio in the absence of the test compound
(fluorescence intensity at
665 nm / fluorescence intensity at 615 nm).
The XIAP binding inhibition rate (%) of test compounds was evaluated. The XIAP
binding
inhibition ratio described as A 75%, 75%> B 50%, 50%> C 25%, D >25% when the
concentration of the test compound is 3 ,M, or 50% inhibitory concentration
(IC50 value)
described as A<0.3 04, 0.3 04 B< 3 04, 3 1\4 C< 30 ,M, is shown in the table
below.

Experimental Example 3: Measurement of in vitro Degradation Activity of Target
Protein
In vitro degradation activities of target protein of the example compounds
were evaluated using
Enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) by the following assay steps. THP1
cells (ATCC,
TIB-202) were cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS, lx sodium
pyruvate, lx
HEPES, D-(+)- glucose and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. THP1 cells were seeded
at a density of
1x106 cells/well in 24-well plate and treated with DMSO control or test
compound, and then
incubated for 24 hours. The cells were collected and lysed on ice for 30
minutes in lysis buffer
(PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100) containing a protease inhibitor cocktail
(Roche, Cat#
11836170001). The lysates were sonicated for 30sec ON/ 30sec OFF for ten
cycles and
centrifuged for 10 minutes at 13k rpm at 4 C. Protein concentrations were
determined by the
BCA assay (Sigma, Cat # QPBCA-1KT). The ELISA assay was performed using the
Human
IRAK3 / IRAKM /IRAK-M ELISA Kit (LifeSpan BioSciences, Cat # LS-F35271) , and
the
protein levels of IRAK-M were evaluated according to the kit protocol. As to
the IRAK-M
degradation rate of test compounds, protein degradation rate (%) when the
concentration of the
test compound is 1 M described as A75%, 50% B<75%, 25% C<50%, D<25%, or
50% degradation concentration (DC50 value) described as A< 0.03 M, 0.03 M B<
0.1 M
, 0.1 M C< 0.3 M, 0.3 M D< 1 M, is shown in the table below.

Experimental example 4: Antitumor Effect in a Mouse Lewis Lung Cancer Cell
Inoculation
Model
C57BL/6 mice (Charles River Laboratories Japan, male, 7-8W) were
subcutaneously inoculated
with 2x104 cells/mouse of mouse Lewis lung carcinoma LL/2 (Lewis lung
carcinoma, LLC)
(ATCC, CRL-1642) along with Matrigel on the flank of the mouse. Tumor size was
measured by
electronic calipers 7 days after inoculation, and the groups were divided so
that each group had
an equivalent size, and administration of the compound was started 8 days
later. Tumor size was
calculated by the formula, major diameter of the tumor x minor diameter x
minor diameter 2.
The test compound was suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose or dissolved in saline
and
administered subcutaneously every 3 days for 3 times. Tumor size was measured
periodically
until 16-18 days after the start of the study, and a two-tailed test was
performed for tumor size in
the test compound-treated group and the solvent-treated group on the last day
of the study.
Daily changes of tumor size in each group of example compounds 1, 6, 7, 8, and
9, are shown in
Figure 1. Each compound was used with the salt shown in the figure. Figure
shows the mean
standard error.
From the above results, it was shown that these compounds have suppressive
effects on tumor
growth.
