Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention relate to novel pyridinyl and pyrazinyl carboxamide compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, to methods of using the compounds to treat physiological disorders, and to intermediates and processes useful in the 10 synthesis of the compounds.
  • the present invention is in the field of treatment of cancer and viruses (e.g., coronaviruses), and other diseases and disorders involving protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK).
  • PTR protein kinase R
  • PERK protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase
  • PERK an eIF2 kinase involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR) regulates protein synthesis, aids cells to alleviate the impact of endoplasmic reticulum stress and has been implicated 15 in tumor genesis and cancer cell survival.
  • Tumor cells thrive in a hostile microenvironment caused mainly by nutrient and oxygen limitation, high metabolic demand, and oxidative stress. These stresses are known to disrupt the protein folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) eliciting a cellular remediation response known as the UPR.
  • the UPR serves as a mechanism for cellular survival whereby cells are able to 20 adapt to cope with ER stress, but under extreme stress the UPR switches the cellular machinery toward apoptosis, contributing to greater tumorigenic potential of cancer cells, tumor metastasis, tumor drug resistance, and the ability of cancer cells to avoid effective immune responses.
  • Tumors are believed to utilize the UPR for survival under stressed conditions such as nutrient deprivation or treatment with chemotherapy.
  • Other stress stimuli that activate UPR include hypoxia, disruption of
  • ER transmembrane sensors of the UPR There are three major ER transmembrane sensors of the UPR: 1) inositol requiring enzyme (IREla/IREip, encoded by ERNl and ERN2, respectively); 2) PKR-like ER kinase (PERK, also known as PEK, encoded by EIF2AK3); and 3) the activating transcription factor 6a (encoded by ATF6).
  • IREla/IREip encoded by ERNl and ERN2, respectively
  • PKR-like ER kinase PKR-like ER kinase
  • PEK also known as PEK, encoded by EIF2AK3
  • ATF6 activating transcription factor 6a
  • PERK is a type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinase and a member of a family of kinases that phosphoiylate the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2a (eIF2-a) and regulate translation initiation.
  • Other family members include HRI (EIF2AK1), PKR (EIF2AK2), and GCN2 (EIF2AK4).
  • EIF2AK1 eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2a
  • PKR EIF2AK2AK2
  • GCN2 GCN2
  • PERK is an ER transmembrane protein with a stress-sensing domain inside the ER lumen and a cytosolic kinase domain.
  • PERK Upon sensing misfolded proteins, PERK is activated by autophosphorylation and oligomerization through release of BiP/Grp78 from the stress-sensing domain.
  • Activated PERK phosphoiylates and activates its downstream substrate, eukaryotic initiation factor 2a (eIF2a), which inhibits the ribosome translation initiation complex in order to 15 attenuate protein synthesis. This serves to prevent exacerbation of ER stress by preventing the accumulation of additional misfolded proteins.
  • eIF2a eukaryotic initiation factor 2a
  • activated eIF2a causes the translation of specific mRNAs involved in restoring ER homeostasis including activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4).
  • ATF4 mediates the transcription of certain UPR target genes including those for the endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD)
  • ATF4 also causes the expression of the transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHoP), which sensitizes cells to ER stress-mediated apoptosis, providing a pathway for regulated removal of severely stressed cells by the organism.
  • C/EBP homologous protein CHoP
  • Phosphorylation of eIF2 results in reduced initiation of general translation due to a reduction 25 in eIF2B exchange factor activity decreasing the amount of protein entering the ER (and thus the protein folding burden) and translational demand for ATP.
  • ATF4 transcriptional targets include numerous genes involved in cell adaptation and survival including several involved in protein folding, nutrient
  • Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that are common worldwide and cause a range of illnesses in humans from the common cold to severe acute respiratory syndrome 5 (SARS). Coronaviruses can also cause a number of diseases in animals. Human coronaviruses 229E, OC43, NL63, HKU1, SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV are contagious in the human population.
  • PERK has been found to be activated during SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection. Studies have found that PERK may be activated in SARS-CoV through S and 3a proteins.
  • PERK kinase inhibiting dominant-negative PERK mutant 10 suppressed transcriptional activation of Grp 78 and Grp94 promoters mediated by S proteins of SARS-CoV. Accordingly, compounds that inhibit PERK are believed to be useful in treating viral infections, such as those associated with coronaviruses.

  • ER Endoplasmic Reticulum
  • ER homeostasis The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is the protein quality control system that plays a fundamental role in cell growth, homeostasis and protection. External perturbation of ER homeostasis may originate from hypoxia, glucose deficiency and the presence of mutant or viral proteins, which directly or indirectly impair the protein folding capacity within the ER lumen resulting in ER stress 5 conditions [Rozpedek et al., Current Molecular Medicine, 2017], The expression of coronavirus (CoV) spike proteins induces ER stress. In addition to CoV, Murine hepatitis virus (MHV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) are two of the better studied representatives of the family Coronaviridae.
  • MHV Murine hepatitis virus
  • SARS severe acute respiratory syndrome
  • virus infection triggers a massive production of viral proteins that disrupt ER homeostasis and overload the folding capacities of the ER leading to a stress-induced activation of 20 several eIF2a kinases including, Protein kinase RNA (PKR)-like ER kinase (PERK).
  • PLR Protein kinase RNA
  • PERK Protein kinase RNA
  • the PERK branch of the UPR is believed to be activated first in response to ER stress [Szegezdi et al., 2006], While several laboratories have worked to define the mechanism of PERK activation it is triggered by the dissociation from ER chaperon GRP78/BiP, followed by oligomerization and auto- phosphoiylation [Lee, Methods, 2005], Activated PERK then phosphorylates the a-subunit of 25 eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2a).
  • eIF2a eukaryotic initiation factor 2
  • Phosphorylated eIF2a forms a stable complex with and inhibits protein turnover of eIF2B, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that recycles inactive eIF2-GDP to active eIF2-GTP [Teske et al., Mol. Biol. Cell, 2011], This results in a general shutdown of cellular protein synthesis and reduces the protein flux into the ER [Ron and Walter, 2007],
  • the PERK/PKR- eIF2a-ATF4-GADD 153 pathway plays a central role during productive coronavirus infections and thus approaches to abrogate this pathway may provide a productive mechanism of blocking viral replication and disease propagation. Therefore, the compounds of the present invention are useful in 20 treating viral infection.
