Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compounds that are inhibitors of PD-1/PD-L1 protein/protein interaction.
  • 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 other diseases associated with inhibition of PD-1/PD-L1 protein/protein interaction.
  • Cancer immunotherapy has been increasingly utilized to treat advanced malignancies.
  • the signaling network of immune checkpoints has attracted considerable attention.
  • Several cancers are highly refractory to conventional chemotherapy.
  • the survival of tumors in several cases is assisted by checkpoint immunomodulation to maintain the imbalance between immune surveillance and cancer cell proliferation.
  • Immune checkpoint inhibitors are revolutionizing the treatment options and expectations for patients with cancer.
  • Programmed cell death-1 also known as CD279, is a cell surface receptor expressed on activated T cells, natural killer T cells, B cells, and macrophages. It functions as an intrinsic negative feedback system to prevent the activation of T-cells, which in turn reduces autoimmunity and promotes self-tolerance.
  • PD-1 is also known to play a critical role in the suppression of antigen-specific T cell response in diseases like cancer and viral infection.
  • the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 results in a decrease in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, a decrease in T-cell receptor mediated proliferation, and immune evasion by the cancerous cells. Immune suppression can be reversed by inhibiting the local interaction of PD-1 with PD-L1, and the effect is additive when the interaction of PD-1 with PD-L2 is blocked as well.
  • potent small molecules that can have activity as inhibitors of the interaction of PD-L1 with PD-1, and thus may be useful for therapeutic administration to enhance immunity against cancer and/or infectious diseases.
  • These small molecules are expected to be useful as pharmaceuticals with desirable stability, solubility, bioavailability, therapeutic index and toxicity values that are crucial to become efficient medicines to promote human health.
  • the present invention relates to compounds that are used as inhibitors of the functional interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1.
  • Inhibitors of the interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1 are useful in the treatment of cancers and infectious diseases.

  • Time of blood collection 30 min, 2 h, 4 h. approximately 0.1 mL of whole blood was collected from retro-orbital venous plexus, and placed into tubes that contained K 2 -EDTA as an anticoagulant.
  • the whole blood was centrifuged at 4°C and 4000 rpm for 10 min.
  • the plasma was transferred into centrifuge tubes, and stored at -20°C untill being analyzed. Concentrations of test compounds in the plasma samples were analyzed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) . Plasma concentration-time data of individual animals was analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2010. The data is shown in Table 4.
