Definitions

  • the present invention relates to substituted pyrrolidinone derivatives that are inhibitors of the activity of the protein kinase R (PKR)-like ER kinase, PERK.
  • PLR protein kinase R
  • the present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and methods of using such compounds in the treatment of cancer, pre-cancerous syndromes and diseases associated with activated unfolded protein response pathways, such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, diabetes, Parkinson disease, Huntington's disease, Creutzfeldt- Jakob Disease, and related prion diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, atherosclerosis, ocular diseases, and arrhythmias.
  • the unfolded protein response is a signal transduction pathway that allows cells to survive stress caused by the presence of misfolded or unfolded proteins or protein aggregates (Walter and Ron, 2011), (Hetz, 2012).
  • UPR activating stress stimuli include hypoxia, disruption of protein glycosylation (glucose deprivation), depletion of luminal ER calcium, or changes in ER redox status (Ma and Hendershot, 2004), (Feldman et al., 2005).
  • Cellualr responses include transcriptional reprogramming to increase the level of chaperone proteins to enhance protein re-folding, degradation of the mis-folded proteins, and translational arrest to decrease the burden of client proteins entering the ER (Ron, D. 2002), (Harding et al., 2002). These pathways also regulate cell survival by modulating apoptosis (Ma and Hendershot, 2004), (Feldman et al., 2005), and autophagy (Rouschop et al. 2010), and can trigger cell death under conditions of prolonged ER stress (Woehlbier and Hetz, 2011).
  • PPR protein kinase R
  • PERK protein kinase R
  • EIF2AK3 eukaryotic initiation factor 2A kinase 3
  • PKI pancreatic ER kinase
  • ATF6 activating transcription factor 6
  • PERK is a type I ER membrane protein containing a stress-sensing domain facing the ER lumen, a transmembrane segment, and a cytosolic kinase domain (Shi et al., 1998), (Harding et al., 1999), (Sood et al., 2000). Release of GRP78 from the stress- sensing domain of PERK results in oligomerization and autophosphorylation at multiple serine, threonine and tyrosine residues (Ma et al., 2001), (Su et al., 2008).
  • Phenotypes of PERK knockout mice include diabetes, due to loss of pancreatic islet cells, skeletal abnormalities, and growth retardation (Harding et al., 2001), (Zhang et al., 2006), (lida et al., 2007). These features are similar to those seen in patients with Wolcott-Rallison syndrome, who carry germline mutations in the PERK gene (Julier and Nicolino, 2010).
  • the major substrate for PERK is the eukaryotic initiation factor 2a (elF2a), which PERK phosphorylates at serine-51 (Marciniak et al., 2006).
  • This site is also phosphorylated by other EIF2AK family members [(general control non-derepressed 2 (GCN2), PKR, and heme-regulated kinase (HRI)] in response to different stimuli, and by pharmacological inducers of ER stress such as thapsigargin and tunicamycin.
  • GCN2 general control non-derepressed 2
  • PKR PKR
  • HRI heme-regulated kinase
  • Phosphorylation of elF2a converts it to an inhibitor of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) elF2B which is required for efficient turnover of GDP for GTP in the elF2 protein synthesis complex.
  • GEF guanine nucleotide exchange factor
  • the inhibition of elF2B by P-elF2a causes a decrease in translation initiation and global protein synthesis (Harding et al. 2002).
  • Paradoxically, translation of specific mRNAs is enhanced when the UPR is activated and elF2a is phosphorylated.
  • the transcription factor ATF4 which is regulated by PERK, has 5'-upstream open reading frames (uORFs) that normally represses ATF4 synthesis.
  • PERK is activated under stress and P-elF2a inhibits elF2B
  • low levels of ternary complex allows for selective enhanced translation of ATF4 (Jackson et al. 2010). Therefore, when ER stress ensues due to the presence of misfolded proteins, PERK activation causes an increase in ATF4 translation, which transcriptionally upregulates downstream target genes such as CHOP (transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein), which modulates cellular survival pathways and induces apoptotic genes.
  • CHOP transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein
  • PERK and the UPR is associated with human neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and prion diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), (Doyle et al. 2011), (Paschen 2004), (Salminen et al. 2009).
  • human neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and prion diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), (Doyle et al. 2011), (Paschen 2004), (Salminen et al. 2009).
  • malformed/misfolded or aggregated protein deposits e.g tau tangles, Lewy bodies, a-synuclein, ⁇ plaques, mutant prion proteins
  • malformed/misfolded or aggregated protein deposits e.g tau tangles, Lewy bodies, a-synuclein, ⁇ plaques, mutant prion proteins
  • the fate of a cell (e.g a neuron) enduring unfolded or malfolded protein stress is under control of PERK.
  • a cell enduring ER stress may restore proteostasis and return to normal, or if the stress is insurmountable, sustained PERK activation may lead to cell death through ATF4/CHOP signaling coupled with the inability to synthesize vital proteins because of the persistent translational repression.
  • Activated PERK and associated biological markers of PERK activation are detected in post-mortem brain tissue of Alzheimer's disease patients and in human prion disease (Ho et al. 2012), (Hoozemans et al, 2009) (Schberger et al. 2006).
  • P-elF2a the product of PERK activation correlates with levels of BACE1 in post-mortem brain tissue of Alzheimer's disease patients (O'Connor et al. 2008).
  • the small molecule PERK inhibitor GSK2606414 was shown to provide a neuroprotective effect and prevent clinical signs of disease in prion infected mice (Moreno et al. 2013), consistent with previous results derived from genetic manipulation of the UPR/PERK/elF2a pathway (Moreno et al. 2012). Involvement of the pathway in ALS (Kanekura et. al., 2009 and Nassif et. al. 2010) , spinal cord injury (Ohri et al. 201 1) and traumatic brain injury (Tajiri et al. 2004) is also reported.
  • mouse fibroblasts derived from PERK-/-, XBP1-/- , and ATF4-/- mice, and fibroblasts expressing mutant elF2a show reduced clonogenic growth and increased apoptosis under hypoxic conditions in vitro and grow at substantially reduced rates when implanted as tumors in nude mice (Koumenis et al., 2002), (Romero-Ramirez et al., 2004), (Bi et al., 2005).
  • Human tumor cell lines carrying a dominant negative PERK that lacks kinase activity also showed increased apoptosis in vitro under hypoxia and impaired tumor growth in vivo (Bi et al., 2005).
  • Human tumors including those derived from cervical carcinomas, glioblastomas (Bi et al., 2005), lung cancers (Jorgensen et al., 2008) and breast cancers (Ameri et al., 2004), (Davies et al., 2008) show elevated levels of proteins involved in UPR, compared to normal tissues. Therefore, inhibiting the unfolded protein response with compounds that block the activity of PERK and other components of the UPR is expected to have utility as anticancer agents. Recently, this hypothesis was supported by two small molecule inhibitors of PERK that were shown to inhibit the growth of human tumor xenografts in mice (Axten et al. 2012 and Atkins et al. 2013).
  • Inhibitors of PERK may be therapeutically useful for the treatment of a variety of human diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementias, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke , Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) and related prion diseases, such as fatal familial insomnia (FFI), Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker Syndrome, and vanishing white matter (VWM) disease.
  • ALS amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
  • CJD Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
  • CJD Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
  • related prion diseases such as fatal familial insomnia (FFI), Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker Syndrome, and vanishing white matter (VWM) disease.
  • Inhibitors of PERK may also be useful for effective treatment of cancers, particularly those derived from secretory cell types, such as pancreatic and neuroendocrine cancers, multiple myeloma, or for use in combination as a chemosensitizer to enhance tumor cell killing.
  • a PERK inhibitor may also be useful for myocardial infarction, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis (McAlpine et. al, 2010), and arrhythmias.
  • a PERK inhibitor is expected to have diverse utility in the treatment of numerous diseases in which the underlying pathology and symptoms are associated with dysregulaton of the unfolded protein response.
