Technical Field

The invention relates to novel thiacycloheptyne derivatives, in particular to thiacycloalkyne sulfimide derivatives and synthesis thereof. The present invention also relates to the use of the novel thiocycloheptyne derivatives in various coupling reactions, e.g., coupling reactions involving linkers, drug and drug delivery systems, proteins, imaging agents, dyes, chromophores, ligands, and the like. The invention also relates to the use of the novel thiocycloheptynes in copper-free click reactions. The present invention also relates to the use of novel thiocycloheptyne derivatives in the production of various systems, e.g., targeted and/or labeled delivery systems, such as nanoparticles, proteins, hydrogels, liposomes, antibody-drug conjugates, drug polymer conjugates, and the like.

Background

Bio-orthogonal chemistry is used in the study of biomolecules and physiological processes. Bio-orthogonal chemistry may be used when other more conventional research tools or medical treatments are unavailable or inadequate. Generally, the protocol begins by labeling a target biomolecule in a cell or living organism with bio-orthogonal functional groups. Probe molecules with complementary functions are provided to the system, and bio-orthogonal chemical reactions deliver the probes specifically to the target of interest. Kinetic optimization and yield optimization (e.g. by making purification easier) are considered as key factors for the further development of this useful process. In the past, it has been found that the strain-promoted cycloaddition reaction of azide and cyclooctyne is a well-tolerated bio-orthogonal reaction. The tension-promoted cycloaddition reaction of azides and cyclooctynes, also known as Cu-free (or copper-free) click chemistry, was inspired by the classical work of Krebs and Kimling in the 70's of the 20 th century. They observed that cyclooctyne reacts readily with the same substrate at room temperature compared to the unactivated linear alkyne which undergoes 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition with azide only at elevated temperature. The increased reactivity of cyclooctyne is due to the ring tension resulting from bond angle deformation of the alkyne.

Almeida et al have described a group of cyclooctynes which have been developed for years and used in bioorthogonal coupling reactions. Almeida investigated the effect of the endocyclic sulfur on cyclooctyne activity and synthesized a number of thiocyclines. The 3,3,6, 6-tetramethylthiepin (TMTH) was found to be more reactive in cycloaddition reactions than previous cyclooctyne compounds. King et al (Chem Commun 2102, 48, 9308) describe the reasonable stability of TMTH only when derivatized at the sulfur atom with benzyl bromide. It was also found that other derivatives of TMTH are difficult to synthesize and sulfur is difficult to further derivatize. Dommerthot et al (NATURE COMMUNICATIONS 2014, 5, 5378, Top Curr Chem (Z)2016, 374:16) show that TMTH is poorly stable and cannot be isolated in pure form. Li et al (Molecules, 2016, 21, 1393) show that TMTH is the fastest SPAAC reported to date, but cannot be equipped with markers that hinder the application to bioorthogonal reactions.

Taking advantage of the advantages of TMTH in copper-free click reactions, there is a need for more compounds for copper-free click reactions that are novel, readily available and reactive, and have at least the same reactivity in 1,3 dipolar cycloadditions to azides, nitrones and other 1,3 dipoles.

Detailed Description

Definition of

The verb "to comprise" and its conjugations as used in this specification and claims is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded.

In addition, the modification of an element by the indefinite article "a" or "an" does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that one and only one of the elements be present. Thus, the indefinite article "a" or "an" usually means "at least one".

The compounds disclosed in the present specification and claims may be described as thiocycloheptyne compounds, i.e. cycloheptyne compounds in which a combination of sulfur and triple bonds are present in the ring structure. The triple bond of the cycloheptyne moiety may be located in any of three possible positions relative to sulfur (numbering according to the IUPAC organic chemistry nomenclature "rule a 31.2). The description of any cycloheptyne compound in this specification and claims is meant to include all three separate regioisomers of the cycloheptyne moiety.

The compounds disclosed in the specification and claims may contain one or more asymmetric centers and may exist in different diastereomers and/or enantiomers of the compound. The description of any compound in this specification and claims is meant to include all diastereomers and mixtures thereof, unless otherwise indicated. Furthermore, the description of any compound in this specification and claims is meant to include individual enantiomers, as well as any mixture of enantiomers (racemic or other mixtures), unless otherwise specified. When the structure of a compound is described as a specific enantiomer, it is understood that the invention of the present application is not limited to that specific enantiomer.

The compounds may exist in different tautomeric forms. The compounds according to the invention are meant to include all tautomeric forms, unless otherwise indicated.

Compound (I)

Starting with the thiomeptyne compound of Almeida, the present inventors propose to find improved compounds that can be used in copper-free click reactions. TMTH itself was found to be unsuitable for practical use due to inherent instability (Dommerthot et al, Nature Communications5, particle number:5378 (2014)). Derivatization of the sulfur in the TMTH ring structure via direct alkylation has been described in King et al (chem.comm., 2012, 9308-9309). Other derivatizations were described as indirect, since King has observed that the ring tension should not be stretched beyond its limit to prevent reactivity of the alkyne bond. Furthermore, any derivatization should provide compounds suitable for reacting under aqueous conditions (high reactivity) and which are resistant to biological media in subsequent applications to produce suitable bio-orthogonal reagents.

The inventors have now surprisingly found that other derivatisations at sulphur are possible. The resulting compounds combine high reactivity in cycloaddition with good relative stability. Sulfonimides of the invention (>S (═ O) (═ NH) and/or sulfondiimine (S) (S) (═ O) (S) (-))) and/or sulfondiimine (S) ((>S(=NR)2) Are a novel class of compounds that can be used as bio-orthogonal labels or conjugation agents. The sulfonimides and/or sulfondiimides of the invention can be readily derivatized with other functional groups and linkers using known chemistry, and can be further functionalized, for example, for bioorthogonal labeling, imaging, or modification (e.g., surface modification of target molecules). The compounds of the present invention may be conjugated to a variety of biologically active compounds and/or drug delivery systems.

The derivatives of TMTH and TMTH disclosed in King et al (chem. Comm., 2012, 9308-one 9309) have shown poor stability and cannot be used as such for further syntheses (Li, Molecules, 2016, 21, 1393, Krebs, Tet. Lett., 1970, 761-764). However, the TMTHSI compounds and derivatives according to the invention can be synthesized and isolated and are stable to both basic and acidic purification and can therefore be used for further synthesis. The TMTHSI and TMTHSI derivatives thereof according to the present invention have demonstrated extended shelf life over a year as shown in the examples. The TMTHSI and TMTHSI derivatives can be reacted with azides in acidic/neutral/basic aqueous environments and their combinations with organic solvents.

In a first aspect, the present invention therefore relates to compounds of formula (I)

The functionalization can be independently with drugs (e.g., small molecules, genetic material, etc.), antibodies, proteins, peptides, ligands, imaging labels, targeting ligands, delivery agents, nanoparticles, vectors.

Thus, in one embodiment, the functional group Q is optionally coupled to one or more of a drug, an antibody, a protein, a peptide, a ligand, an imaging label, a targeting ligand, a delivery agent, a nanoparticle, a carrier via a linker L.

In another embodiment, the alkyne can be coupled to one or more of a drug, an antibody, a protein, a peptide, a ligand, an imaging label, a targeting ligand, a delivery agent, a nanoparticle, a carrier. The coupling of the alkyne is preferably carried out via reaction of the alkyne with a compound comprising a 1, 3-dipole or a 1,3- (hetero) diene. In certain embodiments, the compound comprising a 1, 3-dipole or 1,3- (hetero) diene is an azide-containing compound, a nitrone-containing compound, or a nitrile oxide-containing compound, more preferably an azide-containing compound.

Thus, the compounds of the present invention are suitable for generating a combination of two target molecules/functional groups via a 1, 3-dipole/1, 3 (hetero) diene/thiepin derivative/(linker)/functional group. Schematically, the general principles of this application of the present thiepine are illustrated in the following table:

the linker used may be biodegradable, i.e. initially stable, but cleavable over time or under a particular environment (e.g. physiological environment).

In certain embodiments, combinations are preferred wherein the nanoparticle is coupled via an optional linker/1, 3-dipole or 1, 3-heterodiene/thiocycloheptyne/optional linker to a functional group/target molecule selected from a drug, an antibody, a protein, a peptide, a ligand, an imaging label, a targeting ligand, a delivery agent, a nanoparticle, a carrier. The nanoparticles themselves may include drugs, antibodies, proteins, peptides. The preferred 1, 3-dipole or 1, 3-heterodiene for coupling nanoparticles to the thiocycloheptyne derivatives of the present invention is azide (N3).

Nanoparticles

Drug delivery systems are increasingly used in pharmaceutical science. Through carefully designed derivatization, drugs can be delivered, targeted, monitored, and provided to patients with increased effectiveness and efficacy. The use of these drug delivery systems (e.g., nanoparticles, proteins, hydrogels, liposomes, antibody-drug conjugates, drug polymer conjugates) is rapidly evolving in pharmaceutical science.

Pharmaceutical science uses these systems to reduce toxicity and side effects of drugs, improve delivery and add imaging ligands to aid in monitoring of effectiveness.

Nanoparticles, typically with diameters <100nm, are made from a variety of materials, and the intended applications in medicine include drug delivery (including in vitro and in vivo diagnostics), nutraceuticals, and the production of improved biocompatible materials. Nanoparticles can be tailored for specific purposes and a wide variety of materials are available. Most drug target nanoparticles are based on (bio) polymer materials, which can be in various forms. The source material may be of biological origin (e.g. phospholipids, lipids, lactic acid, dextran, chitosan), or have more "chemical" properties (e.g. various (co) polymers). These nanoparticles are usually functionalized by linking, coupling, (covalently) binding of active ingredients (drugs, ligands, imaging ligands, etc.). The functionalization of many of these nanoparticles can be achieved by various chemical methods, such as copper-free click chemistry using the inventive thiocycloheptyne derivatives.

In certain embodiments, the nanoparticles are self-assembled polymeric micelles, preferably from thermosensitive block copolymers. In particular, copolymers based on PEG-b-poly (N-hydroxyalkyl methacrylamide-oligolactate) with partially methacrylated oligolactate units are preferred, but other (meth) acrylamide esters can also be used to construct thermosensitive blocks of HPMAm (hydroxypropyl methacrylamide) and HEMAm (hydroxyethyl methacrylamide) and N- (meth) acryloyl amino acid esters, such as esters and optionally (oligo) lactate. Also preferred are thermosensitive block copolymers derived from monomers containing functional groups that can be modified with derivatized and underivatized methacrylate groups, such as HPMAm-lactate polymers; that is, such modifications include the incorporation of linker moieties.

Other types of functional thermo-sensitive (co) polymers that can be used are hydrophobically modified poly (N-hydroxyalkyl) (meth) acrylamides, copolymer compositions of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) with monomers containing reactive functional groups such as acidic acrylamides and other moieties such as N-acryloxysuccinimide, or similar copolymers of poly (alkyl) 2-oxazines, and the like. Also preferred thermosensitive groups may be based on NIPAAm and/or alkyl-2-oxazoline, which may be reacted with monomers containing reactive functional groups, such as (meth) acrylamide or (meth) acrylate containing hydroxyl, carboxyl, amine or succinimide groups.

Suitable heat-sensitive polymers are described in US-B-7,425,581 and EP-A-1776400. Furthermore, in WO2010/033022 and WO 2013/002636.

WO2012/039602 describes drug-polymer matrix particles using such polymers. Furthermore, in WO2012/039602, biodegradable linker molecules are described which can be used in these known polymer matrix particles.

Typically, nanoparticles based on thermosensitive block copolymers as outlined above can be attached to the compounds of the present invention using azide-alkyne copper-free coupling. Examples thereof are described in WO 2017086794.

Thus, in certain embodiments of the invention, nanoparticles are prepared in which the inventive thiocycloheptyne derivatives are coupled to azide-containing nanoparticles. In certain embodiments, the nanoparticles are self-assembled polymeric micelles, preferably from thermosensitive block copolymers.

The invention also relates to the use of the inventive thiocycloheptyne derivatives in a method of coupling two target molecules, wherein optionally the molecules are independently selected from the group consisting of drugs, antibodies, proteins, peptides, ligands, imaging labels, targeting ligands, delivery agents, nanoparticles, and carriers. The invention also relates to the use of the inventive thiocycloheptyne derivatives in bio-orthogonal, optionally copper-free click reactions, and in methods of coupling nanoparticles to one or more of drugs, antibodies, proteins, peptides, ligands, imaging labels, targeting ligands, delivery agents, nanoparticles, and carriers using copper-free click reactions. In particular, the coupling of azide-containing thermosensitive polymers with the compounds of the present invention is advantageous because the click chemistry between the alkyne-containing compounds of the present invention and azides is faster than conventional alkynes used in click chemistry, especially in the preparation of biodegradable nanoparticles and conjugated/embedded drugs.

Example 1: synthesis of (3,3,6, 6-tetramethylthiaheptane-4, 5-diylidene) bis (hydrazine).

A glass autoclave (300ml) was charged with 3,3,6, 6-tetramethylthiaheptane-4, 5-dione (6.17g, 30.8mmol), ethanol (2.4ml) and ethylene glycol (60 ml). To the stirred mixture was added hydrazine sulfate (16.03g, 123mmol, 4 equiv.) and hydrazine monohydrate (3ml, 61.6mmol, 2 equiv.). The autoclave was closed and heated in an oil bath at 140 ℃ for 20 hours.

After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was partitioned between water (500ml) and diethyl ether (200ml) and transferred to a separatory funnel while being filtered through a piece of cotton to remove some white solid residue (probably hydrazine sulfate, as it slowly dissolved in water). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether (2X 100 ml). The combined ether layers were washed with water (2X 75ml) and brine (100ml) and dried over Na2SO4Dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 5.75g of crude product as a viscous yellow oil.

The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica 40 g; 30% EtOAc in heptane); the product fractions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was coevaporated with diethyl ether to give 0.9g (12%) of the product as an off-white solid.

The mixture was cooled in ice/water. Iodobenzene diacetate (494mg, 1.53mmol, 3.5 equiv.) in a mixture of MeOH (0.4ml) and dichloromethane (0.6ml) was added dropwise to control the exotherm and gas formation (the reaction showed gas evolution upon addition of each drop). After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour.

The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (2ml) and quenched with brine (1 ml). The organic layer was removed by pipette and passed through a phase separator. The aqueous residue was extracted with dichloromethane (2 ×), the organic phase being passed through a phase separator each time and combined with the previous extract. The organic extract was concentrated under reduced pressure and the evaporation was carefully monitored as the product may be volatile to give 427mg of the crude product as a yellow oil. The residue was passed through preparative RP-MPLC (Reveleria, XSelect; 10-50% MeCN in water, 10mM NH)4HCO3pH 9.5). The product fractions were combined and extracted with dichloromethane (3 ×), and each organic extract was passed through a phase separator and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was coevaporated with heptane and diethyl ether to give 33mg (37%) of a crystalline residue.

Example 8: coupling of linker HER 2-peptide containing TMTHSI with Azide-containing nanoparticles (CriPec)

HER2 peptide-labeled core cross-linked polymeric micelles were generated by conjugating HER2 peptide to the surface of the polymeric micelle shell and used for targeting studies. To allow HER2 peptide conjugation via click chemistry, the protocol reported was essentially followed [ Hu et al, biomaterials.2015; 53:370-8]To make an azide-functionalized polymer micelle, but adding a fraction of the azide-functionalized block copolymer (7.5kDa, with 10 mol% crosslinker L2[ 1)]Derivatized, 5 w% of total block copolymer), but not (95 w%) non-functionalized block copolymer (7.5kDa, derivatized with 10 mol% crosslinker L2[ biomaterials.2015; 53:370-8]95 w% of the total block copolymer). The two block copolymers were synthesized following the same procedure, but for the former, use was made of azide-PEG5000-OH-synthesized (azide-PEG)5000)2-ABCPA initiator substitution. The resulting azide-functionalized polymer micelles were then purified in 20mM ammonium acetate pH5 buffer containing 130mM NaCl, the buffer was exchanged for 20mM sodium phosphate pH7.4 buffer containing 130mM NaCl and concentrated to about 30mg/mL polymer equivalents using Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) equipped with a modified polyethersulfone (mPES)100kDa module (Spectrumlabs). Then, HER2 peptide was conjugated to concentrated azide-functionalized core-crosslinked polymer micelles via copper-free click chemistry using the following method:

ACN (86 μ L) was added to 200 μ L of azide-functionalized modified core-crosslinked polymer micelle (0.4 μmol azide equivalent) while stirring in an amber UPLC vial (300rpm) at room temperature. HER2 peptide (1.0 eq, 0.4 μmol, 86 μ L, Mercachem) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture as the heat dissipated. The progress of the conjugation reaction was monitored by UPLC-UV for 24 hours, after which the reaction was stopped. Conversion of the HER2 peptide was determined to be 43% based on UPLC, which converted to 2.2% HER2 peptide-labeled core-crosslinked polymer micelles. After the conjugation reaction, the HER2 peptide-labeled polymer micelles were purified by TFF against 10 v% ethanol to remove unreacted HER2 peptide.

Reaction of an alkyne (TMTSHI or BCN-OH) with 1.3 equivalents of benzylAzide reaction, and NMR (CDCl) was used3) Reaction kinetics were measured. The conversion of TMTHSI with benzyl azide reached 79% after 225 seconds and the reaction with BCN-OH took about 40 times longer (9312 seconds). The reaction conversion (%) was calculated based on the triazole signal and the level of triazole signal at the end of the reaction was taken as the 100% level when all the tmssi or BCN-OH had reacted completely with the benzyl azide. The measurement results are included in fig. 17A. TMTHSI (upper curve) is significantly faster than BCN-OH (lower curve). Fig. 17B shows an amplification of the measurement of tmshsi.

Example 32: coupling of linker folate containing TMTHSI to azide containing nanoparticles (CriPec).

By conjugating folic acid to the surface of the polymeric micelle shellFolate-labeled core-crosslinked polymer micelles were generated and used for targeting studies. To allow folate conjugation via click chemistry, the protocol reported is essentially followed [ Hu et al, biomaterials.2015; 53; 370-8]To make an azide-functionalized polymer micelle, but adding a fraction of the azide-functionalized block copolymer (22kDa, with 10 mol% crosslinker L2[ 1)]Derivatized, 5 w% of total block copolymer), but not (95 w%) non-functionalized block copolymer (22kDa, derivatized with 10 mol% crosslinker L2[ biomaterials.2015; 53:370-8]95 w% of the total block copolymer). The two block copolymers were synthesized following the same procedure, but for the former, use was made of azide-PEG5000-OH-synthesized (azide-PEG)5000)2-ABCPA initiator substitution. The resulting azide-functionalized polymer micelles were then purified in 20mM ammonium acetate pH5 buffer containing 130mM NaCl, the buffer was exchanged into 20mM sodium phosphate pH7.4 buffer containing 130mM NaCl and concentrated to about 96mg/mL polymer equivalents using Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) equipped with a modified polyethersulfone (mPES)100kDa module (Spectrumlabs). Then, folic acid was conjugated to the concentrated azide-functionalized core-crosslinked polymer micelle via copper-free click chemistry using the following method:

DMSO (93 μ L) was added to 200 μ L of the azide-functionalized modified core-crosslinked polymer micelle (0.13 μmol azide equivalent) while stirring (300rpm) in an amber UPLC vial at room temperature. Folic acid (1.0 eq, 0.13 μmol, 5 μ L, Mercachem) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture as the heat dissipated. The progress of the conjugation reaction was monitored by UPLC-UV for 4 hours, after which the reaction was stopped. The conversion of folic acid was determined to be 45% based on UPLC, which converted to 2.3% folate-labeled core-crosslinked polymer micelles.
