BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0027] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

[0028] In an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer with a KRAS mutation and activated RON, the pharmaceutical composition comprising, as an active ingredient, a compound represented by Formula 1 or 2 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the KRAS mutation is substitution of glycine, an amino acid residue, at position 13 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 with another amino acid, or substitution of glycine, an amino acid residue, at position 12 with another amino acid.

[0029] As used herein, the term “KRAS” is also called K-Ras and refers to a factor that constitutes part of RAS/MAPK, a cell signaling pathway that regulates cell growth, cell maturation, and cell death. Mutated versions of the KRAS are found in various types of solid cancers such as non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer. In this case, the KRAS may have the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0030] As used herein, the term “KRAS mutation” means that substitution, deletion, or insertion has occurred in some amino acids of KRAS. For example, the KRAS mutation may mean that the 12.sup.th or 13.sup.th amino acid in SEQ ID NO: 1 is substituted with another amino acid. Specifically, the KRAS mutation may be substitution of the glycine at position 12 with any one selected from the group consisting of aspartic acid, valine, cysteine, and histidine. Alternatively, the KRAS mutation may be substitution of the glycine at position 13 with any one selected from the group consisting of aspartic acid, valine, and arginine. More specifically, the KRAS mutation may feature that glycine, an amino acid residue, at position 13 is substituted with aspartic acid, or glycine, an amino acid residue, at position 12 is substituted with valine or histidine.

[0031] As used herein, the term “activated RON” may be understood as a concept including all RON's that can be identified as active at any expression level such as DNA level, mRNA level, and protein level. Specifically, the activated RON may be caused by phosphorylation in the RON protein, for example, phosphorylation in the kinase domain of the RON protein, and may be induced in the presence of a ligand such as MSP. In addition, the activated RON may include splicing variants or mutants of RON gene which are always in an activated form even without any ligand.

[0032] The activated RON may be a splicing variant of RON gene or may be tyrosine-phosphorylated RON protein. The splicing variant of RON gene may be caused by deletion, due to splicing, of at least one selected from the group consisting of exons 5, 6, and 11. Specifically, such a splicing variant may be mRONΔ155 in which exons 5, 6, and 11 are deleted, mRONΔ160 in which exons 5 and 6 are deleted, or RONΔ165 in which exon 11 is deleted. In addition, cDNA of mRONΔ155 may have the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; cDNA of mRONΔ160 may have the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3; and cDNA of RONΔ165 may have the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4.

[0033] In the present invention, the cancer may be selected from, but is not limited to, the group consisting of breast cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, prostate cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, skin cancer, head and neck cancer, and thyroid cancer.

Based on the above methods, various derivatives may be synthesized using an appropriate synthesis method according to the type of substituent.

[0351] As used herein, the term “halogen” refers to F, Cl, Br, or I unless otherwise stated.

[0352] The term “alkyl”, unless otherwise specified, refers to a linear or branched saturated hydrocarbon moiety. For example, “C.sub.1-10 alkyl” refers to an alkyl group having a skeleton of 1 to 10 carbon atoms. Specifically, the C.sub.1-10 alkyl may include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, i-pentyl, t-pentyl, sec-pentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, and the like.

[0353] The term “haloalkyl” refers to an alkyl group substituted with one or more halogen atoms. Specifically, the haloalkyl may be an alkyl group substituted with two or more halogen atoms, the halogen atoms being the same or different.

[0354] The term “alkoxy”, unless otherwise specified, refers to a group having the formula —O-alkyl, in which the alkyl is an alkyl group as defined above and is attached to a parent compound through an oxygen atom. The alkyl portion of the alkoxy group may have 1 to 20 carbon atoms (that is, C.sub.1-C.sub.20 alkoxy), 1 to 12 carbon atoms (that is, C.sub.1-C.sub.12 alkoxy), or 1 to 6 carbon atoms (that is, C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkoxy). Examples of suitable alkoxy groups include methoxy (—O—CH.sub.3 or —OMe), ethoxy (—OCH.sub.2CH.sub.3 or —OEt), t-butoxy (—OC(CH.sub.3).sub.3 or —O-tBu), and the like.

[0355] The term “aryl” refers to an aromatic hydrocarbon radical derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent aromatic ring system. For example, the aryl group may have 6 to 20 carbon atoms, 6 to 14 carbon atoms, or 6 to 10 carbon atoms.

[0356] The term “cycloalkyl” refers to a saturated monocycle or polycycle that contains only carbon atoms in the ring. The cycloalkyl may have 3 to 7 carbon atoms as a monocycle, 7 to 12 carbon atoms as a bicycle, and up to about 20 carbon atoms as a polycycle.

[0357] The term “heterocycle” refers to an aromatic or non-aromatic ring having one or more heteroatoms, which may be saturated or unsaturated and may be monocyclic or polycyclic. For example, “4- to 10-membered heterocycle” refers to a heterocycle having a skeleton of a total of 4 to 10 atoms including at least one heteroatom and carbon atoms. Specifically, examples of the 4- to 10-membered heterocycle may include azetidine, diazetidine, pyrrolidine, pyrrole, imidazolidine, imidazole, pyrazolidine, pyrazole, oxazolidine, oxazole, isoxazolidine, isoxazole, thiazolidine, thiazole, isothiazolidine, isothiazole, piperidine, pyridine, piperazine, diazine, morpholine, thiomorpholine, azepane, diazepane, and the like. In the present specification, when “heterocycle” is described as a substituent, it may be used as a term encompassing “heteroaryl” and “heterocycloalkyl”.

[0358] The term “heteroaryl” refers to an aromatic heterocyclyl having one or more heteroatoms in the ring. Non-limiting examples of the heteroaryl include pyridinyl, pyrrolyl, oxazolyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, furinyl, furanyl, thienyl, benzofuranyl, benzothiophenyl, carbazolyl, imidazolyl, thiazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyrazolyl, isothiazolyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, pyridazyl, pyrimidyl, pyrazyl, and the like (each of which may have one or more substituents on the ring).

[0359] The term “heterocycloalkyl” refers to a non-aromatic heterocyclyl having one or more heteroatoms in the ring. The heterocycloalkyl may have one or more carbon-carbon double bonds or carbon-heteroatom double bonds in the ring as long as the ring is not rendered aromatic by their presence. Non-limiting examples of the heterocycloalkyl include azetidinyl, aziridinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, homopiperazinyl, morpholino, thiomorpholino, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothiofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, pyranyl, and the like (each of which may have one or more substituents on the ring).

[0360] The term “heteroatom” refers to an atom other than carbon (C), and may specifically be a nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or sulfur (S) atom. The above-mentioned heteroaryl and heterocycloalkyl contain one or more heteroatoms and may, for example, contain 1, 1 to 2,1 to 3, or 1 to 4 heteroatoms.

[0361] The term “substitution” refers to replacement of a hydrogen atom in a molecular structure with a substituent such that a chemically stable compound results from the substitution while not exceeding valence on the designated atom. For example, “group A is substituted with substituent B” or “group A has substituent B” means that a hydrogen atom bonded to an atom, such as carbon, which constitutes a skeleton of group A, is replaced with substituent B so that the group A and the substituent B form a covalent bond. Thus, it is substantially difficult or impossible for a group having no removable hydrogen atom to have a substituent. From this viewpoint, in a case where a range of combinations of various groups, which include groups that hardly have a substituent, with substituents are exemplified in the present specification, it should be interpreted that combinations of the groups, for which it is obvious that no substitution is possible, with the substituents are excluded from the range.

[0362] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may comprise, as an active ingredient, the compound represented by Formula 1 or Formula 2 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in an amount of about 0.1% to about 90% by weight, specifically about 0.5% to about 75% by weight, and more specifically about 1% to about 50% by weight, with respect to a total weight of the composition.

[0363] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may comprise conventional and non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable additives which are blended into a preparation according to a conventional method. For example, the pharmaceutical composition may further comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient.

[0364] Examples of the additives used in the composition of the present invention may include sweeteners, binders, solvents, dissolution aids, wetting agents, emulsifiers, isotonic agents, absorbents, disintegrants, antioxidants, preservatives, lubricants, fillers, flavoring agents, and the like. For example, the additives may include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose, glycine, silica, talc, stearic acid, stearin, magnesium stearate, magnesium aluminosilicate, starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, alginic acid, sodium alginate, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, agar, water, ethanol, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, orange essence, strawberry essence, vanilla flavor, and the like.

[0365] The composition of the present invention may be made into various preparation forms for oral administration (for example, tablets, pills, powders, capsules, syrups, or emulsions) or parenteral administration (for example, intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous injection).

[0366] Preferably, the composition of the present invention may be made into a preparation for oral administration, in which additives used may include cellulose, calcium silicate, corn starch, lactose, sucrose, dextrose, calcium phosphate, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, gelatin, talc, surfactants, suspending agents, emulsifying agents, diluents, and the like.

[0367] Specifically, solid preparations for oral administration include tablets, pills, powders, granules, capsules, and the like, and such solid preparations can be formulated by mixing the composition with at least one excipient, such as starch, calcium carbonate, sucrose, lactose, and gelatin. In addition, in addition to simple excipients, a lubricant such as magnesium stearate and talc may be used.

[0368] In addition, as liquid preparations for oral administration, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, and the like may be exemplified, in which in addition to water and liquid paraffin which are commonly used simple diluents, various excipients, such as wetting agents, sweeteners, fragrances, and preservatives, may be included therein.

[0369] In addition, preparations for parenteral administration include sterilized aqueous solutions, non-aqueous solutions, suspensions, emulsions, lyophilized preparations, and suppositories. As the non-aqueous solution or the suspension, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oil such as olive oil, injectable ester such as ethyl oleate, or the like may be used. As a base for the suppository, Witepsol, Macrogol, and Tween 61, cocoa butter, laurin fat, glycerogelatin, or the like may be used. On the other hand, the injection may comprise conventional additives such as solubilizing agents, isotonic agents, suspending agents, emulsifying agents, stabilizing agents, and preservatives.

[0370] The compound or composition of the present invention may be administered to a patient in a therapeutically effective amount or a pharmaceutically effective amount.

[0371] Here, the “therapeutically effective amount” or “pharmaceutically effective amount” refers to an amount of a compound or composition effective to prevent or treat a target disease, the amount being sufficient to treat the disease at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, which is applicable to medical treatment, without causing adverse effects. A level of the effective amount may be determined depending on factors, including the patient's health status, disease type, disease severity, drug activity, drug sensitivity, method of administration, time of administration, route of administration and rate of excretion, duration of treatment, and drugs used simultaneously or in combination, and other factors well known in the medical field.

[0372] The compound or composition of the present invention may be administered as an individual therapeutic agent or administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, may be administered sequentially or simultaneously with a conventional therapeutic agent, and may be administered once or multiple times. It is important to administer an amount such that a maximum effect can be obtained with a minimum amount without adverse effects by taking all of the above-described factors into consideration, and such an amount can be readily determined by those skilled in the art.

[0373] Specifically, an effective amount of the compound contained in the composition of the present invention may vary depending on the patient's age, sex, and body weight. Generally, the compound may be administered in an amount of about 0.1 mg to about 1,000 mg, or about 5 mg to about 200 mg, per kg body weight, on a daily or every-other-day basis, or once or three times a day. However, the effective amount may increase or decrease depending on route of administration, disease severity, the patient's sex, body weight, and age, and the like. Thus, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0374] Preferably, the compound or composition of the present invention may be administered for tumor therapy, in combination with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, bone marrow transplantation, stem cell replacement therapy, other biological therapies, surgical intervention, or a combination thereof. For example, the compound or composition of the present invention may be used as adjuvant therapy in combination with other long-term treatment strategies, or may be used to maintain the patient's condition after tumor regression is induced or chemoprophylactic therapy is applied in severely ill patients.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 1

Analysis of Efficacy of Compound on Colorectal Cancer Cell Line with KRAS Mutation Depending on RON Mutation

[0404] MTS assay was performed to compare cytotoxicity of the compounds of Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, Example 5, Example 6, and positive control 1 on a colorectal cancer cell line, and a cell death rate of the colorectal cancer cell line was analyzed to compare anticancer activity of the compounds.

[0405] The MTS assay was performed by seeding each colorectal cell line in a 96-well plate at 1,000 cells per well, and after 24 hours, performing treatment with the compounds of Examples 1 to 6 and positive control 1 at various concentrations (0.000001 μM to 10 μM) in 100 μL of 10% FBS-RPMI medium (WELGENE Inc.) per well. The cells were incubated for 72 hours. Then, 20 μL of MTS solution (Promega) was added thereto, and the cells were incubated for 2 hours. Then, the absorbance was measured at 490 nm. The IC.sub.50 values for the compounds of Examples 1 to 6 and positive control 1 were calculated using GraphPad Prism™ 5 to investigate cytotoxicity. The compounds of Examples 1 to 6 exhibited high efficiency in most cell lines except for SNUC2A with inactive RON. It was confirmed that the compound of Example 4 among them exhibited high efficiency in the cell lines (HCT8 and DLD-1) which express most mRON or activated RON (pTyr-wtRON) except for SW620. In contrast, the compound of positive control 1 exhibited high IC.sub.50 values in most cell lines, and thus it was confirmed that the compound had low response to drugs.

[0406] The results of the MTS assay are as shown in Table 1 below:

[0407] Based on the results above, to identify the cell death-inducing ability of the compounds of Example 1 and positive control 1, which are representative materials, preparation was performed by seeding respective colorectal cancer cell lines SNU-C2A, HCT8, T84, and SW620 onto 60-mm plates at 3×10.sup.5 cells, and then incubation was performed for 24 hours. Thereafter, treatment with each of Example 1 and positive control 1 was performed at 1μM and incubation was performed for 48 hours.

[0408] In addition, preparation was performed by seeding the cell line SW620 onto a 60-mm plate at 3×10.sup.5 cells, and then incubation was performed for 24 hours. Thereafter, treatment with each of Example 1, positive control 1, positive control 2, and positive control 3 was performed at 1 μM.

[0409] After 48 hours, the cells and cell suspensions were collected by treatment with trypsin, resuspended in 1× PBS and stained using a trypan blue solution (Sigma, cat# T8154). The stained cells were counted using a hemocytometer. Cell counting was repeated, and the mean and the standard deviation were calculated.

[0410] Regarding the KRAS mutant colorectal cancer cell lines, cell death induction efficacy of the compounds of Example 1 and positive control 1 depending on the presence or absence of a RON mutation was checked. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, it was confirmed that cell-killing efficacy was exhibited by treatment with the compound of Example 1 in cell line HCT8 that expresses RON (pTyr-wtRON) which is wild-type and tyrosine-phosphorylated. In addition, it was confirmed that cell death induction efficacy was exhibited regardless of mutation type when cell lines with a RON mutation were treated with the compound of Example 1. Meanwhile, it was confirmed that the cell line SNUC2A with inactive RON showed no response to the compound of Example 1, and that even the cell lines T84 and SW620 with a RON mutation showed little response to the compound of positive control 1. In addition, it was confirmed that a high cell death rate was observed in the case where the cell line SW620 was treated with the compound of Example 1. On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 2, it was confirmed that cell death was not induced in the cell line SW620 treated with the compound of positive control 1, positive control 2, or positive control 3.

[0412] RNA was extracted using a Trizol reagent from each colorectal cancer patient-derived cell line, and then subjected to reverse transcription through reverse transcriptase. PCR was performed using primers capable of identifying a RON mutation in the reverse-transcribed sample, and sequencing was performed on each band to identify the mutation. The nucleotide sequences of the primers used are as follows.

[0413] Regarding KRAS, analysis was performed using the same method to identify whether KRAS is a wild type or a mutant. In addition, each cell was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and then staining was performed on pTyr-RON according to an immunostaining protocol to identify whether the staining is positive or negative. Then, each cell line was treated with the compound of Example 1 at 1 μM, and staining of cleaved caspase 3 was performed to identify whether the compound exhibits cell death induction efficacy, and a cell death rate was calculated.

[0414] The colorectal cancer patient-derived cell line was analyzed for KRAS and RON mutations, and then the expression of pTyr-wtRON was analyzed through immunofluorescence staining in the case where RON is a wild type (see FIG. 3). As shown in FIG. 4, it was confirmed that the compound of Example 1 exhibited cell death induction efficacy in the cell line expressing a RON mutation or pTyr-wtRON and that the compound of Example 1 did not exhibit cell death induction efficacy in the cell line with inactive RON.

[0416] G12V/mRON Δ155) at 5×10.sup.6 cells/mouse was injected subcutaneously (100 μL) into the right dorsal side of the mice. The compound of Example 1 was orally administered when the tumor reached a size of about 100 mm.sup.3. The drug was administered once a day for 4 weeks, and tumor size and mouse body weight were measured twice a week. After completion of the drug administration, the experimental animals were euthanized, and then the tumors were extracted and weighed for comparative analysis.

[0417] A portion of the extracted tumor tissue was fixed in 10% formalin and processed into a paraffin block. Then, the block was made into sections. Staining of the slide was performed through immunochemical staining. Another portion of the extracted tumor tissue was subjected to lysis, and then Western blotting was used to identify changes in expression of respective proteins.

[0418] After the cell line SW620 (KRAS G12V/mRON Δ155)-transplanted animal model was administered the compound of Example 1, the tumor growth inhibition rate is as shown in Table 5 below:

[0419] As shown in Table 5, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6, it was confirmed that high tumor growth inhibitory efficacy was exhibited when the compound of Example 1 was administered. In addition, immunochemical staining was performed on the extracted tumor tissue. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, it was confirmed that decreased expression of pTyr-RON and induced expression of cleaved caspase 3 were exhibited in the mouse model administered the compound of Example 1, and decreased expression of cyclin D1, which is a pharmacodynamic (PD) marker, was exhibited.

[0420] The experiment was conducted in the same method as the procedure of Experimental Example 3, except that human colorectal cancer patient-derived cell line HCT8 (KRAS G13D/pTyr-wtRON(+)) was used in place of the human colorectal cancer patient-derived cell line SW620 (KRAS G12V/mRON Δ155), and the respective compounds of Example 1, positive control 1, and positive control 2 were administered. After the HCT8 (KRAS G13D/pTyr-wtRON(+))-transplanted animal model was administered the respective compounds of Example 1, positive control 1, and positive control 2, the tumor growth inhibition rate is as shown in Table 6 below:

TABLE-US-00006 TABLE 6 Positive control 1 Positive control 2 Example 1 Dosage 10 mg/kg 10 mg/kg 10 mg/kg Tumor growth −7.5 ± 36.3 23.2 ± 7.8 58.5 ± 9.1 inhibition (TGI, %)

[0421] As shown in Table 6 above and FIG. 8, it was confirmed that the animal model administered the compound of Example 1 exhibited high tumor growth inhibitory efficacy as compared with the animal models administered the respective compounds of positive control 1 and positive control 2. In addition, after completion of the drug administration, the tumor tissues were analyzed with immunohistochemical staining. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, it was confirmed that decreased expression of pTyr-mRON and cyclin D1 was exhibited and induced expression of cleaved caspase 3 was exhibited.

Subsequently, all cells were collected when 48 hours had elapsed. Cell death induction efficacy was compared and analyzed using a trypan blue exclusion assay. As described above, the cell line SW620 was caused to overexpress β-catenin. Then, treatment with the compound of Example 1 was performed, and cell death induction efficacy was observed. As a result, it was confirmed that cell death induction efficacy of the compound was decreased as shown in FIG. 10.

[0423] In addition, as described above, the cell line SW 620 was caused to overexpress β-catenin.
