Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] In the figures, identical reference numbers identify similar elements. The sizes and relative positions of elements in the figures are not necessarily drawn to scale and some of these elements are enlarged and positioned to improve figure legibility. Further, the particular shapes of the elements as drawn are not intended to convey any information regarding the actual shape of the particular elements, and have been solely selected for ease of recognition in the figures.

[0010] FIG. 1 shows a small molecule compound that exhibits a type 1.5 binding mode illustrating interactions with (i) hinge residues (ALA116 and ALA114) via a pair of hydrogen bonds with the aminopyrimidine core (dashed lines); (ii) ASP179 of the activation loop (part of the conserved DFG motif which is occasionally replaced with DLG as is the case with NEK7) via a hydrogen bond with the indoline amide carbonyl (dashed lines), stabilizing the loop in the “in” position and restricting access to the allosteric back pocket. FIG. 1 shows that no interactions are observed between the small molecule compound and the αC helix that is positioned outward in a catalytically inactive conformation (not shown).

[0011] FIG. 2 shows a NEK7 small molecule inhibitor compound that exhibits a type 2 binding mode illustrating interactions with (i) a hinge residue (ALA114) via a pair of hydrogen bonds with the azaindole core (dashed lines); (ii) ASP179 of the DLG motif of the activation loop via a hydrogen bond with the urea carbonyl (dashed lines), stabilizing the loop in the “out” position and allowing access to the allosteric back pocket which is occupied by a bulky hydrophobic group; (iii) GLU82 of the αC helix via a pair of hydrogen bonds with the two NH groups of the urea linker (dashed lines), stabilizing the helix in an inward position.

[0012] FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B shows a side-by-side comparison of type 1.5 (FIG. 3A) versus type 2 (FIG. 3B) binding mode, illustration the similarities and differences between the binding mode, namely (i) similar donor-acceptor pairs in the hinge binding region; (ii) different conformations of the activation loop caused by interactions of the ASP179 residue of the DLG motif with the compounds, resulting in an inaccessible allosteric pocket for the type 1.5 binding mode (as indicated by the angular pose adopted by the compound to avoid steric clashes with residue of the activation loop past the DLG motif) and a fully occupied allosteric pocket for the type 2 binding mode (in which the residues of the activation loop past the DLG motif are not creating any steric hindrance); and (iii) different orientations of the αC helix which is positioned outward for the Type 1.5 binding mode and inward in the Type 2 binding mode.

[0058] The term “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to that amount of a compound described herein that is sufficient to effect the intended application including but not limited to disease treatment, as defined below. The therapeutically effective amount may vary depending upon the intended treatment application (in vivo), or the subject and disease condition being treated, e.g., the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration and the like, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. The term also applies to a dose that will induce a particular response in target cells, e.g., reduction of platelet adhesion and/or cell migration. The specific dose will vary depending on the particular compounds chosen, the dosing regimen to be followed, whether it is administered in combination with other compounds, timing of administration, the tissue to which it is administered, and the physical delivery system in which it is carried.

[0059] As used herein, “treatment” or “treating” refer to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results with respect to a disease, disorder or medical condition including but not limited to a therapeutic effect and/or a prophylactic effect. By therapeutic benefit is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the subject, notwithstanding that the subject may still be afflicted with the underlying disorder. A prophylactic effect includes delaying or eliminating the appearance of a disease or condition, delaying or eliminating the onset of symptoms of a disease or condition, slowing, halting, or reversing the progression of a disease or condition, or any combination thereof. In certain embodiments, for prophylactic benefit, the compositions are administered to a subject at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a subject reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease may not have been made.

[0060] The term “co-administration,” “administered in combination with,” and their grammatical equivalents, as used herein, encompass administration of two or more agents to an animal, including humans, so that both agents and/or their metabolites are present in the subject at the same time. Co-administration includes simultaneous administration in separate compositions, administration at different times in separate compositions, or administration in a composition in which both agents are present.

[0061] “Pharmaceutically acceptable salt” includes both acid and base addition salts.

[0062] “Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt” refers to those salts which retain the biological effectiveness of the free bases, which are biologically tolerable, or otherwise biologically suitable for administration to the subject. See, generally, S M. Berge, et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts”, J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66:1-19, and Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts., Properties, Selection, and Use, Stahl and.

See, generally, S. M. Berge, et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts”, J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66.1-19, and Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts, Properties, Selection, and Use, Stahl and Wermuth, Eds., Wiley-VCH and VHCA, Zurich, 2002 Preferred pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are those that are pharmacologically effective and suitable for contact with the tissues of patients without undue toxicity, irritation, or allergic response. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are prepared from addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to the free acid. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, but are not limited to, the sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum salts and the like. Preferred inorganic salts are the ammonium, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium salts.

[0064] In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts include quaternary ammonium salts such as quaternary amine alkyl halide salts (e.g., methyl bromide).

[0065] The terms “antagonist” and “inhibitor” are used interchangeably, and they refer to a compound having the ability to inhibit a biological function of a target protein, whether by inhibiting the activity or expression of the protein, such as NLRP3 inflammasome or NEK7 or the association of NLRP3 inflammasome—NEK7. Accordingly, the terms “antagonist” and “inhibitors” are defined in the context of the biological role of the target protein. While preferred antagonists herein specifically interact with (e.g., bind to) the target, compounds that inhibit a biological activity of the target protein by interacting with other members of the signal transduction pathway of which the target protein is a member are also specifically included within this definition. A preferred biological activity inhibited by an antagonist is associated with the development, growth, or spread of a tumor.

[0066] The term “agonist” as used herein refers to a compound having the ability to initiate or enhance a biological function of a target protein, whether by inhibiting the activity or expression of the target protein. Accordingly, the term “agonist” is defined in the context of the biological role of the target polypeptide. While preferred agonists herein specifically interact with (e.g., bind to) the target, compounds that initiate or enhance a biological activity of the target polypeptide by interacting with other members of the signal transduction pathway of which the target polypeptide is a member are also specifically included within this definitio.

[0067] “Signal transduction” is a process during which stimulatory or inhibitory signals are transmitted into and within a cell to elicit an intracellular response.

[0068] The term “selective inhibition” or “selectively inhibit” refers to a biologically active agent refers to the agent's ability to preferentially reduce the target signaling activity as compared to off-target signaling activity, via direct or indirect interaction with the target.

[0069] “Subject” refers to an animal, such as a mammal, for example a human. The methods described herein can be useful in both human therapeutics and veterinary applications. In some embodiments, the subject is a mammal, and in some embodiments, the subject is human.

[0070] “Mammal” includes humans and both domestic animals such as laboratory animals and household pets (e.g., cats, dogs, swine, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, rabbits), and non-domestic animals such as wildlife and the like.

[0071] “Prodrug” is meant to indicate a compound that may be converted under physiological conditions or by solvolysis to a biologically active compound described herein (e.g., compounds of Structure (I)). Thus, the term “prodrug” refers to a precursor of a biologically active compound that is pharmaceutically acceptable. In some aspects, a prodrug is inactive when administered to a subject, but is converted in vivo to an active compound, for example, by hydrolysis. The prodrug compound often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility or delayed release in a mammalian organism (see, e.g., Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs (1985), pp. 7-9, 21-24 (Elsevier, Amsterdam). A discussion of prodrugs is provided in Higuchi. T., et al., “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” A.C.S. Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated in full by reference herein. The term “prodrug” is also meant to include any covalently bonded carriers, which release the active compound in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of an active compound, as described herein, are typically prepared by modifying functional groups present in the active compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent active compound. Prodrugs include compounds wherein a hydroxy, amino or thiol group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug of the active compound is administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, free amino or free mercapto group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of a hydroxy functional group, or acetamide, formamide and benzamide derivatives of an amine functional group in the active compound and the like.

[0072] The term “in vivo” refers to an event that takes place in a subject's body.

[0073] Embodiments disclosed herein are also meant to encompass all pharmaceutically acceptable compounds of the disclosed compounds Structure (I) (e.g., compound of Structure (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), and (If))

[0074] Certain embodiments are also meant to encompass the in vivo metabolic products of the disclosed compounds. Such products may result from, for example, the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, esterification, and the like of the administered compound, primarily due to enzymatic processes. Accordingly, embodiments include compounds produced by a process comprising administering a compound of this disclosure to a mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product thereof. Such products are typically identified by administering a radiolabeled compound of the disclosure in a detectable dose to an animal, such as rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey, or to human, allowing sufficient time for metabolism to occur, and isolating its conversion products from the urine, blood or other biological samples.

[0075] “Stable compound” and “stable structure” are meant to indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.

[0076] Often crystallizations produce a solvate of the compounds disclosed herein. As used herein, the term “solvate” refers to an aggregate that comprises one or more compounds of the disclosure with one or more molecules of solvent. In some embodiments, the solvent is water, in which case the solvate is a hydrate. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the solvent is an organic solvent. Thus, the compounds of the present disclosure may exist as a hydrate, including a monohydrate, dihydrate, hemihydrate, sesquihydrate, trihydrate, tetrahydrate and the like, as well as the corresponding solvated forms. In some aspects, the compounds of the disclosure are a true solvate, while in other cases, the compounds of the disclosure merely retain adventitious water or is a mixture of water plus some adventitious solvent.

[0077] “Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event of circumstances may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “optionally substituted aryl” means that the aryl radical may or may not be substituted and that the description includes both substituted aryl radicals and aryl radicals having no substitution.

[0078] A “pharmaceutical composition” refers to formulations of compounds of the disclosure and a medium generally accepted in the art for the delivery of compounds of the disclosure to mammals, e.g., humans. Such a medium includes all pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients therefor.

[0079] “Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient” includes without limitation any adjuvant, carrier, excipient, glidant, sweetening agent, diluent, preservative, dye/colorant, flavor enhancer, surfactant, wetting agent, dispersing agent, suspending agent, stabilizer, isotonic agent, solvent, or emulsifier.

[0080] A “stereoisomer” refers to a compound made up of the same atoms bonded by the same bonds but having different three-dimensional structures, which are not interchangeable. The present disclosure contemplates various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof and includes “enantiomers”, which refers to two stereoisomers whose molecules are non-superimposable mirror images of one another.

[0081] The compounds of the disclosure (e.g., compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), and (If)) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts may contain one or more centers of geometric asymmetry and may thus give rise to stereoisomers such as enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that are defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)- or, as (D)- or (L)-for amino acids. Embodiments thus include all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (+) and (−), (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallization. Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate (or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.

[0082] Embodiments of the present disclosure include all manner of rotamers and conformationally restricted states of a compound of the disclosure. Atropisomers, which are stereoisomers arising because of hindered rotation about a single bond, where energy differences due to steric strain or other contributors create a barrier to rotation that is high enough to allow for isolation of individual conformers, are also included. As an example, certain compounds of the disclosure may exist as mixtures of atropisomers or purified or enriched for the presence of one atropisomer.

[0083] In some embodiments, the compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) are a mixture of enantiomers or diastereomers. In other embodiments, the compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) are substantially one enantiomer or diastereomer.

[0084] A “tautomer” refers to a proton shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule. Embodiments thus include tautomers of the disclosed compounds.

[0085] The chemical naming protocol and structure diagrams used herein are a modified form of the I.U.P.A.C. nomenclature system, using the ACD/Name Version 9.07 software program and/or ChemDraw Professional Version 17.0.0.206 software naming program (CambridgeSoft). For complex chemical names employed herein, a substituent group is typically named before the group to which it attaches. For example, cyclopropylethyl comprises an ethyl backbone with a cyclopropyl substituent. Except as described below, all bonds are identified in the chemical structure diagrams herein, except for all bonds on some carbon atoms, which are assumed to be bonded to sufficient hydrogen atoms to complete the valency

Methods

[0502] Embodiments of the present disclosure are useful as modulators of the NLRP3 inflammasome via the inhibition of NEK7 in a host species. Therefore, the compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) are also useful in the treatment of conditions mediated by effector signaling molecules like IL-1β and IL-18.

[0503] The host or patient can belong to any mammalian species, for example a primate species, particularly humans, rodents, including mice, rats and hamsters; rabbits, horses, cows, dogs, cats, etc. Animal models are of interest for experimental investigations, providing a model for treatment of human disease.

[0504] In one embodiment, the present disclosure is useful as an inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome activation mechanism. Therefore, the compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) are also useful in the treatment of conditions resulting from that activation in a host species.

[0505] In another embodiment, the compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) are useful as inhibitors of the NLRP3 (protein)-NEK7 (protein) interaction. Therefore, the compounds are also useful in the treatment of conditions resulting from the association of NLRP3-NEK7 in a host species.

[0506] In certain embodiments, the compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) are useful in treating human conditions mediated by effectors selected from the group consisting of IL-1β, IL-18, and caspase-1.

[0507] Embodiments of the disclosure also relate to the use of compounds according to Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) and/or physiologically acceptable salts thereof for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment and/or monitoring of diseases that are caused, mediated and/or modulated by the NLRP3 inflammasome activity. Furthermore, embodiments of the disclosure relate to the use of compounds according to Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) and/or physiologically acceptable salts thereof for the production of a medicament for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment and/or monitoring of diseases that are caused, mediated and/or modulated by NLRP3 inflammasome activity. In certain embodiments, the disclosure provides the use of a compound according to Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) or physiologically acceptable salts thereof, for the production of a medicament for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of a NLRP3-mediated disorder.

[0508] Without wishing to be bound by theory, inventors of the present disclosure have discovered that compounds of the present disclosure bind via a specific binding mode in which the hinge-binding element interacts with one or two hinge residues of NEK7 (ALA114 in all cases, ALA114 and ALA112 in others) via hydrogen bonding. Additionally, in some embodiments, two NH groups of the urea-type linker interact in a bidentate fashion via direct hydrogen bonds with GLU82 (see, e.g., FIG. 2). This interaction helps to stabilize the αC helix in an inward position. NEK7 small molecule inhibitors of this type assist in the formation of a network of direct or water-mediated hydrogen bonding between the compounds and ASP179 of NEK7. The hydrogen bonding stabilizes the DLG loop in the “out” position (i.e., distal from the hinge-binding element) allowing access to the allosteric back pocket which is occupied by the hydrophobic back pocket group of the NEK7 small molecule inhibitor. These features are typical of a type-2 binding mode in which the catalytically inactive conformation of NEK7 is stabilized upon binding the small molecule inhibitor. This conformation is expected to display increased rigidity as a consequence of an extensive network of hydrogen bonds connecting the small molecule inhibitor with various structural features of NEK7.

[0509] Conversely, compounds having similar structural features, such as compound of Structure (II), likely bind via a different binding mode (see, e.g., Biological Example 4 and FIG. 1). A small molecule compound that exhibits a type 1.5 binding mode interacts with (i) ALA116 and ALA114 via a pair of hydrogen bonds (dashed lines); (ii) ASP179 of the DLG loop (dashed lines) stabilizing the loop in the “in” position and restricting access to the allosteric back pocket. Accordingly, no interactions are observed between such a small molecule compound and the αC helix that is positioned outward. This type-1.5 binding also results in the stabilization of an inactive conformation of NEK7, albeit one that is expected to display lesser rigidity compared to the type-2 conformation described above, a consequence of a less extensive network of hydrogen bonds characterized by a conformation which features a weaker network of hydrogen bonds connecting the small molecule inhibitor with various structural features of NEK7.

[0510] e.g.i.e.e.g.e.g. Accordingly, one embodiment provides a method of treating or preventing a disease or disorder, the method comprising administering a NEK7 small molecule inhibitor compound to a subject in need thereof, the NEK7 small molecule inhibitor compound comprising at least one of the following features: [0511] i. a hinge-binding element comprising at least one hydrogen donor and at least one hydrogen acceptor; [0512] ii. a flexible linker; [0513] iii. a urea-type linker, or [0514] iv. a hydrophobic back pocket group.

[0732] The methods of the disclosure can be performed either in vitro or in vivo. The susceptibility of a particular cell to treatment with the compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) can be particularly determined by in-vitro tests, whether in the course of research or clinical application. Typically, a culture of the cell is combined with a compound at various concentrations for a period of time which is sufficient to allow the active agents to inhibit NEK7 activity, usually between about one hour and one week. In-vitro treatment can be carried out using cultivated cells from a biopsy sample or cell line.

[0733] In some embodiments, the IC.sub.50 of the compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) to inhibit NEK7 was determined by the concentration of the compound required to inhibit 50% of the activity of the NEK kinase. The compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), or (If) exhibited potency values of IC.sub.50 of less than about 5 mM, preferably less than about 1 mM and even more preferably less than about 0.100 mM as described in further detail in the Examples.

ExampleS

[0735] The following examples are provided for exemplary purposes.

General Procedures

[0736] All proton NMR experiments were recorded on a Bruker NEO Spectrometer equipped with a BBFO probe at 400 MHz. Deuterated solvents contained less than 0.05% v/v tetramethylsilane which was used as the reference signal (set at 0.00 ppm). When deuterated solvents did not contain tetramethylsilane, the residual nondeuterated solvent peaks were used as a reference signal, as per published guidelines (J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62(2H), 7512-7515). Chemical shifts are expressed in parts per million (ppm, 8 units). Coupling constants are in hertz (Hz). Splitting patterns describe apparent multiplicities and are designated as s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), m (multiplet), qt (quintuplet) or brs (broad singlet).

[0737] LC/MS analyses were performed on an Agilent Technologies UHPLC 1290 Infinity II with a G6125 MS detector.

[0738] Microwave reactions were conducted with a Monowave 300 by Anton Paar GmbH using standard protocols.

NEK7 Enzymatic Assay

[0739] Casein substrate (from bovine milk, hydrolyzed and partially dephosphorylated mixture of α, β and κ caseins, obtained from Sigma Aldrich, catalogue #C4765, diluted in distilled water to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL) and full-length recombinant human NEK7 (expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using a N-terminal GST tag, obtained from SignalChem, catalogue #N09-10G, 0.1 μg/μL) were mixed in assay buffer (20 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl.sub.2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.02% Brij35, 0.02 mg/ml BSA, 0.1 mM Na.sub.3 VO.sub.4, 2 mM DTT, 1% DMSO). Compounds of interest (serial 3-fold dilution in DMSO from 10 μM to 0.5 nM) or vehicle (1% DMSO) were dispensed into the kinase reaction mixture by Acoustic technology (Echo550, nanoliter range). After incubation at room temperature for 20 minutes, the kinase reaction was initiated by addition of [.sup.33P]-ATP (specific activity 10 μCi/μl) and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was then stopped by spotting the reaction mixture on strips of phosphocellulose P81 paper. Following washing, the radioactivity of the P81 paper was measured and kinase activity data were expressed as the percent remaining kinase activity in test samples compared to vehicle reactions. IC.sub.50 values and curve fits were obtained using Prism (GraphPad Software).

IL-1β Release Assay

[0740] Approximately 1.5 million THP-1 cells were plated in each well of a 6-well TC plate and incubated with 40 nM PMA in RPMI (10% FBS, 1% Penstrep) for 24 hours. The media was then removed and cells were rested in RPMI (10% FBS, 1% Penstrep) for 24 hours after which time the media was removed and cells were pre-treated for 2 hours with various concentrations of compounds of interest (typically serial 3-fold dilution in RPMI +5% FBS, concentrations ranging from 1 μM to 0.5 nM) in RPMI (5% FBS). The media was again removed and cells were incubated with 250 ng/mL LPS and compounds of interest (concentrations as above) in RMPI (5% FBS) for 2 hours. The media was removed for a last time and cells were incubated with 20 μM nigericin and compounds of interest (concentrations as above) in Opti-MEM for 30 minutes. Cell media was then collected and the amount of cleaved IL-1β was determined using a JESS instrument (Protein Simple) and standard protocols. Cleaved 1-PD antibody was obtained from Cell Signaling (catalogue #83186S) and was used at 1:20 dilution in antibody diluent 2. Protein Simple 1× anti-Rabbit HRP secondary antibody was used along with Protein Simple luminol and peroxide for chemiluminescent detection. Primary antibody incubation time was increased from 30 minutes to 60 minutes.

Compounds of interest (serial 3-fold dilution in DMSO from 10 μM to 0.5 nM) or vehicle (1% DMSO) were dispensed into the kinase reaction mixture by Acoustic technology (Echo550; nanoliter range). After incubation at room temperature for 20 minutes, the kinase reaction was initiated by addition of [.sup.33P]-ATP (specific activity 10 μCi/μl) and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was then stopped by spotting the reaction mixture on strips of phosphocellulose P81 paper. Following washing, the radioactivity of the P81 paper was measured and kinase activity data were expressed as the percent remaining kinase activity in test samples compared to vehicle reactions. IC.sub.50 values and curve fits were obtained using Prism (GraphPad Software).

[1589] The above data illustrate NEK7 small molecule inhibitor compounds binding via a type 2 binding mode. It should be noted that each of the above compounds have at least one of the following features: (i) a hinge-binding element, (ii) a flexible linker, (iii) a urea-type linker, and (iv) a hydrophobic back pocket group.

Comparative Data for Type 1.5 Binding Compounds

[1590] The following comparative compounds were tested and showed potent NEK7 inhibitory activity but lack desirable IL-1β release IC.sub.50 activity. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is thought that compounds of the present disclosure (i.e., Compounds of Structure (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), and (If)) bind via a Type 2 binding mode and the following comparative compounds bind via a Type 1.5 binding mode. This result is surprising due to the fact that representative compounds of Structure (II) have similar structural features to compounds of the present disclosure. It is possible that compounds of Structure (1H) bind via a Type 1.5 binding mode because they lack a desirable urea-type linker. That is, at the position corresponding to the urea-type linker of compounds of the present disclosure, compounds of Structure (II) have a —C(═O)CH.sub.2— linker. This replacement linker lacks the ability to form a bidentate interaction with GLU82 of NEK7 which requires hydrogen bond donors only found in the urea-type linkers. Additionally, when combined with a bicyclic indoline linker the resulting indoline-amide structure features a shorter length and increased rigidity when compared to the more flexible monocyclic linker and urea-type linker found in compounds of Structure (I). This could further disrupt the ability of compounds of Structure (II) to accommodate the Type 2 DLG-out conformation of NEK7 and instead induce a Type 1.5 conformation, forcing the DLG motif of the activation loop closer to the hinge-binding region and bringing it in the DLG-in position, preventing access to the allosteric back pocket.

[1591] Representative compounds of Structure (II) (i.e., comparative compounds) were tested for inhibitory activity against NEK7 and IL-1β release according to the procedures described above. Results are given in the table below.
