Attorney Docket No.57547-723.601 CHECKPOINT KINASE 1 (CHK1) INHIBITORS AND USES THEREOF CROSS-REFERENCE [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No.63/385,344 filed November 29, 2022 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] Described herein are compounds, methods of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and medicaments comprising such compounds, and methods of using such compounds for inhibiting checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1). BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Checkpoint kinases (Chks) are protein kinases that are involved in cell cycle control. Two checkpoint kinase subtypes have been identified, Chk1 and Chk2. Chk1 is a central component of genome surveillance pathways and is a key regulator of the cell cycle and cell survival. Chk1 is required for the initiation of DNA damage checkpoints and has recently been shown to play a role in the normal (unperturbed) cell cycle. Chk1 impacts various stages of the cell cycle including the S phase, G2/M transition, and M phase. In addition to mediating cell cycle checkpoints, Chk1 also contributes to DNA repair processes, gene transcription, embryo development, cellular responses to HIV infection and somatic cell viability. [0004] Chk1 is essential for the maintenance of genomic integrity. Chk1 monitors DNA replication in unperturbed cell cycles and responds to genotoxic stress if present. Chk1 recognizes DNA strand instability during replication and can stall DNA replication to allow time for DNA repair mechanisms to restore the genome. Recently, Chk1 has been shown to mediate DNA repair mechanisms and does so by activating various repair factors. Furthermore, Chk1 has been associated with three particular aspects of the S-phase, which includes the regulation of late origin firing, controlling the elongation process and maintenance of DNA replication fork stability. [0005] In response to DNA damage, Chk1 is an important signal transducer for G2/M checkpoint activation. Activation of Chk1 holds the cell in the G2 phase until ready to enter the mitotic phase. This delay allows time for DNA to repair or for cell death to occur if DNA damage is irreversible. Chk1 must inactivate for the cell to transition from the G2 phase into mitosis, Chk1 expression levels are mediated by regulatory proteins. [0006] Chk1 has a regulatory role in the spindle checkpoint; however, the relationship is less clear as compared to checkpoints in other cell cycle stages. During this phase, the Chk1 activating element of single strand DNA (ssDNA) cannot be generated suggesting an alternate form of activation. Studies on Chk1 deficient chicken lymphoma cells have shown increased levels of genomic instability and failure to arrest
Attorney Docket No.57547-723.601 during the spindle checkpoint phase in mitosis. Furthermore, haploinsufficient mammary epithelial cells illustrated misaligned chromosomes and abnormal segregation. These studies suggest Chk1 depletion can lead to defects in the spindle checkpoint resulting in mitotic abnormalities. [0007] DNA damage induces the activation of Chk1, which facilitates the initiation of the DNA damage response (DDR) and cell cycle checkpoints. The DNA damage response is a network of signaling pathways that leads to activation of checkpoints, DNA repair and apoptosis to inhibit damaged cells from progressing through the cell cycle. [0008] Chk1 is regulated by ATR through phosphorylation, forming the ATR-Chk1 pathway. This pathway recognizes ssDNA, which can be a result of UV-induced damage, replication stress and inter-strand cross linking. Often ssDNA can be a result of abnormal replication during S phase through the uncoupling of replication enzymes helicase and DNA polymerase. These ssDNA structures attract ATR and eventually activate the checkpoint pathway. [0009] However, activation of Chk1 is not solely dependent on ATR; intermediate proteins involved in DNA replication are often necessary. Regulatory proteins such as replication protein A, Claspin, Tim/Tipin, Rad 17, TopBP1 may be involved to facilitate Chk1 activation. Additional protein interactions are involved to induce maximal phosphorylation of Chk1. Chk1 activation can also be ATR-independent through interactions with other protein kinases such as PKB/AKT, MAPKAPK and p90/RSK. [0010] Chk1 interacts with many downstream effectors to induce cell cycle arrest. In response to DNA damage, Chk1 primarily phosphorylates Cdc25 which results in its proteasomal degradation. The degradation has an inhibitory effect on the formation of cyclin-dependent kinase complexes, which are key drivers of the cell cycle. Through targeting Cdc25, cell cycle arrest can occur at multiple time points including the G1/S transition, S phase and G2/M transition. Furthermore, Chk1 can target Cdc25 indirectly through phosphorylating Nek11. [0011] Chk1 has shown to mediate DNA repair mechanisms and does so by activating repair factors such as proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), FANCE, Rad51 and TLK. Chk1 facilitates replication fork stabilization during DNA replication and repair however more research is necessary to define the underlying interactions. [0012] There is a need for Chk1 inhibitors that are potent inhibitors of the cell cycle checkpoints that can act effectively as potentiators of DNA damaging agents to address the need for safe and effective treatments of cancer.

Unless stated otherwise specifically in the specification, a heteroaryl may be optionally substituted, for example, with halogen, amino, nitrile, nitro, hydroxyl, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, carboxyl, carboxylate, aryl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, heteroaryl, and the like. In some embodiments, the heteroaryl is optionally substituted with halogen, methyl, ethyl, -CN, -COOH, COOMe, -CF3, -OH, -OMe, -NH2, or -NO2. In some embodiments, the heteroaryl is optionally substituted with halogen, methyl, ethyl, -CN, -CF3, -OH, or -OMe. In some embodiments, the heteroaryl is optionally substituted with halogen. [0053] The term “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance 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 alkyl” means either “alkyl” or “substituted alkyl” as defined above. Further, an optionally substituted group may be un-substituted (e.g., - CH
2CH
3), fully substituted (e.g., -CF
2CF
3), mono-substituted (e.g., -CH
2CH
2F) or substituted at a level anywhere in-between fully substituted and mono-substituted (e.g., -CH
2CHF
2, -CH
2CF
3, -CF
2CH
3, - CFHCHF
2, etc.). It will be understood by those skilled in the art with respect to any group containing one or more substituents that such groups are not intended to introduce any substitution or substitution patterns
Attorney Docket No.57547-723.601 (e.g., substituted alkyl includes optionally substituted cycloalkyl groups, which in turn are defined as including optionally substituted alkyl groups, potentially ad infinitum) that are sterically impractical and/or synthetically non-feasible. Thus, any substituents described should generally be understood as having a maximum molecular weight of about 1,000 daltons, and more typically, up to about 500 daltons. [0054] The term “one or more” when referring to an optional substituent means that the subject group is optionally substituted with one, two, three, four, or more substituents. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with one, two, three, or four substituents. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with one, two, or three substituents. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with one or two substituents. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with one substituent. In some embodiments, the subject group is optionally substituted with two substituents. [0055] The terms “treat,” “treated,” “treatment,” or “treating” as used herein refers to therapeutic treatment, wherein the object is to prevent or slow (lessen) an undesired physiological condition, disorder, or disease, or to obtain beneficial or desired clinical results. For the purposes described herein, beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms; diminishment of the extent of the condition, disorder or disease; stabilization (i.e., not worsening) of the state of the condition, disorder or disease; delay in onset or slowing of the progression of the condition, disorder or disease; amelioration of the condition, disorder or disease state; and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable, or enhancement or improvement of the condition, disorder or disease. Treatment includes eliciting a clinically significant response without excessive levels of side effects. Treatment also includes prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. The terms “treat,” “treated,” “treatment,” or “treating” as well as words stemming therefrom, as used herein, do not necessarily imply 100% or complete treatment. Rather, there are varying degrees of treatment of which one of ordinary skill in the art recognizes as having a potential benefit or therapeutic effect. In this respect, the disclosed methods can provide any amount of any level of treatment of the disorder in a mammal. For example, a disorder, including symptoms or conditions thereof, may be reduced by, for example, about 100%, about 90%, about 80%, about 70%, about 60%, about 50%, about 40%, about 30%, about 20%, or about 10%. [0056] The terms “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refer to a sufficient amount of a compound disclosed herein being administered which will relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disease or condition being treated, e.g., cancer or an inflammatory disease. In some embodiments, the result is a reduction and/or alleviation of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. For example, an “effective amount” for therapeutic uses is the amount of the composition comprising a compound disclosed herein required to provide a clinically significant decrease in disease symptoms. In some embodiments, an appropriate “effective” amount in any individual case is determined using techniques, such as a dose escalation study. [0057] The term “ecDNA signature” as used herein, generally refers to one or more characteristics common to tumors or tumor cells that are ecDNA+. In some cases, the ecDNA signature is selected from
Attorney Docket No.57547-723.601 the group consisting of a gene amplification; a p53 loss of function mutation; absence of microsatellite instability (MSI-H); a low level of PD-L1 expression; a low level of tumor inflammation signature (TIS); a low level of tumor mutational burden (TMB); an increased frequency of allele substitutions, insertions, or deletions (indels); and any combination thereof. In some cases, ecDNA signature includes a detection or identification of ecDNA using an imaging technology. In some cases, ecDNA signature does not include any imaging or direct detection of ecDNA. Compounds [0058] Described herein are Chk1 inhibitor that are useful for the treatment of cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a brain tumor or is a cancer that has metastasized in the brain.

[00112] ecDNA mediates an important and clinically distinct mechanism of resistance to targeted therapies. There are immediate therapeutic opportunities for utility of the one or more Chk1 inhibitor described herein as a single agent or in combination with other therapies. In some embodiments, the one or more Chk1 inhibitor described herein may be used to treat an ecDNA+ cancer, ecDNA+ tumor or ecDNA+ tumor cells. One or more Chk1 inhibitor described herein may be used to treat tumors, such as with one or more amplified oncogenes (e.g. FGFR, EGFR, MET, KRAS, MDM2 amplifications), in some cases, the one or more amplified oncogenes comprise non-mutant forms of the oncogene and in some cases, the amplified oncogenes comprises mutant forms of the oncogenes. One or more Chk1 inhibitor described herein may be used to treat tumors for which there are no approved targeted therapies or for which highly efficacious
Attorney Docket No.57547-723.601 therapies are lacking.. One or more Chk1 inhibitor described herein may be used to treat tumors that have developed resistance to another therapy such as a resistance to a targeted agent. In some cases, a tumor (or tumor cells) treated with one or more targeted agents develops resistance to a targeted agent, such as a targeted agent directed to an oncogene or a targeted agent that directly inhibits activating mutant forms of certain oncoproteins (e.g. KRAS, BRAF, EGFR) or as a consequence of focal amplification such as ecDNA- based amplification of the target gene itself, and the one or more Chk1 inhibitor described herein may be used to treat such tumors or tumor cells. [00113] Provided herein are methods wherein inhibition of Chk1 by the one or more Chk1 inhibitors described herein exhibits synthetic lethality with a cancer-targeted agent. In some embodiments, synthetic lethality arises with one or more Chk1 inhibitors described herein in combination with a cancer targeted agent. In some cases, a tumor background is identified as hyper-sensitive to a Chk1 inhibitor and allows a sufficient therapeutic index to enable tolerated doses that are efficacious. In some embodiments, synthetic lethality arises with one or more Chk1 inhibitors described herein in combination with a cancer targeted agent where the tumor or tumor cells are ecDNA+. In some cases, Chk1 inhibition results in reduced ecDNA copy number. In some cases, Chk1 inhibition results in enhanced cytotoxicity in ecDNA+ cells. In some cases, enhanced cytotoxicity results from the combination of Chk1 inhibition and inhibition of a cancer- target, such as an oncogene. [00114] In an aspect of methods herein, a tumor or tumor cells to be treated are ecDNA+. In some cases, such tumor or tumor cells are determined to have an ecDNA signature. In some cases, a tumor or tumor cells are determined to have an ecDNA signature when the tumor or tumor cells have one or more characteristics associated with ecDNA+ tumors or tumor cells. For example, in some cases, the ecDNA signature is selected from the group consisting of a gene amplification; a p53 loss of function mutation; absence of microsatellite instability (MSI-H); a low level of PD-L1 expression; a low level of tumor inflammation signature (TIS); a low level of tumor mutational burden (TMB); an increased frequency of allele substitutions, insertions, or deletions (indels); and any combination thereof. Combination Therapy [00115] In certain instances, the compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, is administered in combination with a second therapeutic agent or a cancer-targeted agent. [00116] In an aspect of methods herein, the method further comprises administering a cancer-targeted therapeutic agent, directed to an activity of a protein product of a target gene. In some cases, the treatment with the cancer-targeted therapeutic agent and the Chk1 inhibitor disclosed herein reduces amplification or expression of the target gene in the tumor or tumor cells. In some cases, the cancer-targeted therapeutic agent is administered prior to the Chk1 inhibitor. In some cases, the cancer-targeted therapeutic agent is administered concurrently with the Chk1 inhibitor.
Attorney Docket No.57547-723.601 [00117] In an aspect of methods herein, the tumor or tumor cells have an ecDNA signature. In some cases, the tumor or tumor cells develop the ecDNA signature after administration of the cancer-targeted therapeutic agent.

[00149] In some embodiments, the benefit experienced by a patient is increased by administering one of the compounds described herein with a second therapeutic agent (which also includes a therapeutic regimen) that also has therapeutic benefit. [00150] In one specific embodiment, a compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, is co-administered with a second therapeutic agent, wherein the compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, and the second therapeutic agent modulate different aspects of the disease, disorder or condition
Attorney Docket No.57547-723.601 being treated, thereby providing a greater overall benefit than administration of either therapeutic agent alone. [00151] In any case, regardless of the disease, disorder or condition being treated, the overall benefit experienced by the patient is additive of the two therapeutic agents or the patient experiences a synergistic benefit. [00152] In certain embodiments, different therapeutically effective dosages of the compounds disclosed herein will be utilized in formulating a pharmaceutical composition and/or in treatment regimens when the compounds disclosed herein are administered in combination with a second therapeutic agent. Therapeutically effective dosages of drugs and other agents for use in combination treatment regimens are optionally determined by means similar to those set forth hereinabove for the actives themselves. Furthermore, the methods of prevention/treatment described herein encompasses the use of metronomic dosing, i.e., providing more frequent, lower doses in order to minimize toxic side effects. In some embodiments, a combination treatment regimen encompasses treatment regimens in which administration of a compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, is initiated prior to, during, or after treatment with a second agent described herein, and continues until any time during treatment with the second agent or after termination of treatment with the second agent. It also includes treatments in which a compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, and the second agent being used in combination are administered simultaneously or at different times and/or at decreasing or increasing intervals during the treatment period. Combination treatment further includes periodic treatments that start and stop at various times to assist with the clinical management of the patient. [00153] It is understood that the dosage regimen to treat, prevent, or ameliorate the condition(s) for which relief is sought, is modified in accordance with a variety of factors (e.g., the disease, disorder, or condition from which the subject suffers; the age, weight, sex, diet, and medical condition of the subject). Thus, in some instances, the dosage regimen employed varies and, in some embodiments, deviates from the dosage regimens set forth herein. [00154] For combination therapies described herein, dosages of the co-administered compounds vary depending on the type of co-drug employed, on the specific drug employed, on the disease or condition being treated, and so forth. In additional embodiments, when co-administered with a second therapeutic agent, the compound provided herein is administered either simultaneously with the second therapeutic agent, or sequentially. [00155] In combination therapies, the multiple therapeutic agents (one of which is one of the compounds described herein) are administered in any order or even simultaneously. If administration is simultaneous, the multiple therapeutic agents are, by way of example only, provided in a single, unified form, or in multiple forms (e.g., as a single pill or as two separate pills, as a single infusion, or as two separate infusions).
Attorney Docket No.57547-723.601 [00156] The compounds described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, as well as combination therapies, are administered before, during, or after the occurrence of a disease or condition, and the timing of administering the composition containing a compound varies. Thus, in one embodiment, the compounds described herein are used as a prophylactic and are administered continuously to subjects with a propensity to develop conditions or diseases in order to prevent the occurrence of the disease or condition. In another embodiment, the compounds and compositions are administered to a subject during or as soon as possible after the onset of the symptoms. In specific embodiments, a compound described herein is administered as soon as is practicable after the onset of a disease or condition is detected or suspected, and for a length of time necessary for the treatment of the disease. In some embodiments, the length required for treatment varies, and the treatment length is adjusted to suit the specific needs of each subject. For example, in specific embodiments, a compound described herein or a formulation containing the compound is administered for at least 2 weeks, about 1 month to about 5 years. [00157] In some embodiments, the compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, is administered in combination with an adjuvant. In one embodiment, the therapeutic effectiveness of one of the compounds described herein is enhanced by administration of an adjuvant (i.e., by itself the adjuvant has minimal therapeutic benefit, but in combination with another therapeutic agent, the overall therapeutic benefit to the patient is enhanced). EXAMPLES [00158] All final compounds were purified by either high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and were characterized by proton (
1H) NMR. All chemicals were purchased from commercial suppliers and used as received unless otherwise indicated. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (

Example A: Kinase HTRF biochemical assay [00170] CHK1 enzyme activity was measured using an HTRF KinEASE assay (Cisbio, catalog no. 62ST1PEC). Full-length human CHK1 protein (GenBank accession number NP_001265.1) was obtained from Carna Biosciences, Inc. (Kobe, Japan, catalog no.02-117). The enzyme reaction was carried out in assay buffer containing (final concentrations): CHK1 enzyme (0.012 ng/µL), MgCl
2 (5 mM) and DTT (1 mM). To determine compound dose response, DMSO stock solutions were serially diluted in a 10-point concentration series in duplicate. Compound solution (50 nL) was added to 384-well assay plates (Greiner, catalog no.784075). To each well containing compound solution was added assay buffer solution (5 µL). Plates were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute, then incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. The reaction was started by addition of substrate buffer (5 µL/well) containing (final concentrations): STK substrate 1-biotin (120 nM) and ATP (1 mM). Assay plates were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute, then incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. The reaction was stopped by addition of detection buffer (Cisbio, 10 µL) containing (final concentrations): STK antibody-cryptate (0.25 nM) and streptavidin-XL665 (7.5 nM). Plates were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 1 minute, then incubated at 25 °C for 2 hours. HTRF signal was read on an EnVision multimode plate reader (CisBio) in HTRF mode. Data were fit to dose- response curves using XLfit (IDBS, Surrey, UK) or Prism (GraphPad Software, La Jolla, CA, US) to calculate IC50 values for each compound tested. Example B: AlphaLisa cellular assay [00171] Compound activity in cells was measured using an AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ p-CHK1 (Ser345) assay (Perkin Elmer, catalog no. ALSU-PCHK1-A10K). HT29 cells were cultured in McCoy 5A medium with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin and seeded to 96-well plates (Corning, catalog no. 3599). Compounds were serially diluted in DMSO over a 10-point dose range with 3-fold dilution and to each well containing cells was added compound solution. Plates were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 30 seconds. Plates were incubated at 37 °C for 16 h. Supernatant was removed by flicking the plate against a paper towel. Wells were washed once with PBS solution. To each well was added freshly prepared lysis buffer and plates were agitated on a plate shaker at 400 rpm for 30 min. The 96-well cell plates were centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 1 minute. From each well was transferred 10 µL of the lysates to a 384-well Optiplate™ (Perkin Elmer, catalog no.6007290). To each well was added Acceptor Mix (5 µL) and the plates were sealed and wrapped in foil. Plates were agitated on a plate shaker for 2 minutes, then incubated
Attorney Docket No.57547-723.601 at room temperature for 1 h. To each well was added Donor Mix (5 µL) and the plates were sealed and wrapped in foil. Plates were agitated on a plate shaker for 2 minutes, then incubated at room temperature for 1 h. AlphaLisa signal was read on an EnVision multimode plate reader (Perkin Elmer). Data were fit to dose-response curves using XLfit (IDBS, Surrey, UK) or Prism (GraphPad Software, La Jolla, CA, US) to calculate IC50 values for each compound tested.

Example C: Mouse brain:plasma ratio determination [00173] Compound blood-brain barrier penetration in vivo was determined in CD-1 mice. A total of 3 male CD-1 mice were dosed with compound orally at a selected dose. Blood, CSF, and brains were collected at a single point (2 h) after each occasion of dosing, or at multiple time points (0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h and 24 h) after each occasion of dosing. Blood samples (approximately 0.080 mL) were collected via saphenous vein puncture and placed in K2EDTA-containing tubes. Immediately following blood collection, the samples were inverted several times and held on wet ice pending centrifugation. All samples were centrifuged within 30 min of collection under refrigeration (set to maintain 4°C for 5 min at 4600 rpm) to obtain plasma (approximately 20 to 40 µL). Animals were then euthanized by inhalation of excess CO2 and exsanguinated via cardiac puncture. CSF samples (5 µL; Tween 80 was used as a desorbent if the compound was specifically adsorbed) were collected into tubes via puncture of the cisterna magna. Brain samples were collected, rinsed with saline, drained with filter paper and blood vessels removed. Brains were then weighed and weights recorded. A 5-fold of the homogenate solvent (water) was used for brain homogenization. Sample (plasma, brain, and CSF) concentrations of each compound were determined by pharmacokinetic analysis with a non-compartmental method using WinNonlin (Phoenix Build 8.0.0.3176). AUC values were determined from t=0 to the last time point for brain, CSF, and plasma. TABLE 3
