Description

INHIBITORS OF ECTONUCLEOTIDE PYROPHOSPHATASE / PHOSPHODIESTERASE 1 (ENPP-1) RELATED APPLICATIONS This invention claims the benefit of priority to the Indian provisional patent application No. 202241072781 filed on the 16th of December 2022, titled “INHIBITORS OF ECTONUCLEOTIDE PYROPHOSPHATASE / PHOSPHODIESTERASE 1 (ENPP-1)” and it is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure relates to novel compounds of formula 1, which inhibit ENPP-1 protein and hence have the potential for use in immunotherapy for disease treatment. The invention also discloses synthetic methods for making the compounds, their pharmaceutical compositions, and potential uses in the treatment of many diseases, particularly cancer. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION One of the reported strategies in the treatment of cancer, particularly cancer immunotherapy is to potentiate anti-tumour immune responses of the human body. A recent journal publication, viz., Nature Cancer, 1(2), 184–196- doi:10.1038/s43018-020-0028-4, also reports that by inhibiting a protein known as Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase / Phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP- 1), which is known to negatively regulate innate immune signalling, thus enhancing the immune responses as part of a treatment of cancer disease. In journal publications, viz., a) J Hematol Oncol 2020, 13, 81 -https://doi.org/10.1186/s13045- 020-00916-z; b) Molecules 2019, 24, 4192 - doi:10.3390/molecules24224192 and c) Cell Chemical Biology 2020, 27, 1347–1358, the role of cGAS-STING (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes) pathway has been disclosed. The cGAS-STING pathway has a promising role in cancer immunotherapy as it has been recognized that it is important in interferon (IFN) production and T cell priming and it acts a link between the cGAS-STING pathway and ENPP-1. It now emerges that hydrolysis of cGAMP (cyclic GMP- AMP) by ENPP-1 attenuates cGAS-STING signaling. Therefore, inhibition of ENPP-1 would decrease hydrolysis of cGAMP resulting in enhancement of cGAS-STING signaling, with concomitant increase in the immune responses of the body. In a review article in Trends in Biochemical Science, Volume 46, Issue 6, June 2021, Pages 446-460, it is pointed out that in addition to the crucial IFN signaling, cGAS-STING is much involved in autophagy. ENPP-1 plays a regulatory function in immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, natural killer cells, and B lymphocytes. ENPP-1 expression is heightened in M2 macrophages in the presence of cancer and promotes tumor growth and spread. The role of ENPP-1 in cancer is exemplified by the observations of enhanced tumor metastasis to the bone from breast cancer, for example, by over-expression of ENPP-1. ENPP-1 belongs to the family of Phosphodiesterase. A patent publication, WO2018119328A1 reviews the roles and types of different phosphodiesterases. Phosphodiesterases comprise a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of a phosphodiester bond. In some instances, phosphodiesterase has been linked with viral infection and its inhibition has been correlated with a reduction in viral replication. In some instances, the class of phosphodieserases further comprises cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, phospholipases C and D, autotaxin, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, DNases, RNases, restriction endonucleases, and small- molecule phosphodiesterases. In another instance, phosphodiesterase is linked with a bacterial infection, e.g., an infection from a Gram-negative bacterium or a Gram-positive bacterium. In some cases, the bacterium is Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Francisella novicida, Legionella pneumophila, Chlamydia trachomatis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Hence inhibitors of phosphodiesterases would potentially impact treatment of many diseases. Inhibitors which have high specificity in inhibiting a particular phosphodiesterase, for example ENPP-1, are much needed in the industry. There are several prior art reports which disclose ENPP-1 inhibitors with different structures of varied potency. The key features of the recently reported references of prior art are a) ENPP- 1 inhibitors predominantly target cancer diseases b) structures of the inhibitors possess at least three basic components comprising a tail, a core and zinc binding domain, as exemplified in formulae X-XI and c) some of these structures have linking groups (linkers) between the core and zinc binding portions and/or some structures have linkers between the core and tail parts. Structures of compounds of certain prior art inventions relevant to ENPP-1 inhibition are highlighted in Scheme 1. Though the scaffolds represented in Figures III-VI are not exactly similar, they contain tail, core, and zinc binding portions. Some of the scaffolds have only one linker and others two linkers. ENPP-1 inhibitory activity of the compounds of structures of Formulas III-VI is disclosed in the respective literature references for cancer treatment. Scheme 1

Formula XII In a recent review article, by J. Choi in Bull. Korean Chem. Soc. 2022, 1, progress in the discovery of small molecule ENPP1 inhibitors, has been discussed. The molecules reviewed in the article cover a wide range of molecules having groups such as sulfamides, sulfonamides, sulfamates, sulfonates, sulfonimidamides, sulfoximine end groups, boronic acids and certain phosphonates. The review points out that inhibition of ENPP1 is a promising approach that may result in optimal STING activation. Successful regulation of ENPP1 might provide a chance to expand the scope of cancer immunotherapy. The main therapeutic use or purpose behind ENPP-1 inhibitors is to provide treatment to patients or subjects suffering from cell proliferative diseases and cancers including, without limitation, glioma, glioblastoma multiforme, paraganglioma, supratentorial primordial neuroectodermal tumours, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, colon cancer, chondrosarcoma, cholangiocarcinoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, melanoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative disease (MPD), and other solid tumours. The non-availability of targeted treatments for these cancers and cell proliferative diseases is driving the current continued search of therapeutic agents, particularly new ENPP-1 Inhibitors that could show selectivity to some of these adverse conditions and diseases. The brief overview given above on structures with tail-core-zinc binding group describes scaffolds of potentially high potency for inhibition of ENPP-1 to boost immune activity. However, none of these structures seem to be clinically proven. The shortcomings of these structures are not clear from the literature reports. Newer structures are still needed to address the dire need to fight diverse types of cancer or carcinoma. Accordingly, the present invention discloses a novel structure for highly efficacious molecules for use against one or more types of maladies. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure relates to compounds of formula 1, which are potent inhibitors of ENPP- 1 protein and hence have the potential for use as for example, in immune therapy for disease treatment. The invention also discloses synthetic methods for making these compounds and invitro bioactivity results to indicate the potential use of these inhibitors in treatment of various diseases including cancer. Specifically, the invention discloses a compound of formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, tautomer, isomer thereof.

Molecular Biology of ENPP-1 Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family member 1 (ENPP-1) is a 925 amino acid length protein having a molecular mass of 104924 Da. This protein is predominantly found in the extracellular space, lysosomal membrane and in the plasma membrane. The ENPP-1 protein which belongs to the nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family is a homodimer that requires zinc ion as a cofactor for eliciting biological function. The molecular functions reported for ENPP-1 protein are nucleic acid binding, exonuclease activity, phosphodiesterase I activity, 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate binding, ATP binding, calcium ion binding, cyclic-GMP-AMP hydrolase activity, dTTP diphosphatase activity, exonuclease activity, insulin receptor binding, NADH pyrophosphatase activity, nucleic acid binding, nucleoside-triphosphate diphosphatase activity, nucleotide diphosphatase activity, phosphodiesterase I activity, polysaccharide binding, protein homodimerization activity, scavenger receptor activity, zinc ion binding and nucleotide diphosphatase activity. ENPP-1 protein is involved in the hydrolysis of ATP, GTP, CTP, TTP and UTP to their respective monophosphates with release of pyrophosphate and diadenosine polyphosphates. The involvement of ENPP-1 protein is identified in several biological processes such as generation of precursor metabolites, metabolism of phosphate containing compounds, regulation of the availability of nucleotide sugars in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi, regulation of purinergic signalling, endocytosis, immune responses, and nucleoside triphosphate catabolic process. One of the critical functions of ENPP-1 is reported to be the hydrolysis of 2',3'- cGAMP (cyclic GMP-AMP), a second messenger that activates TMEM173/STING. The hydrolysis of cyclic GMP-AMP leads to the reduced expression of STING pathway downstream components, which are crucial for the maintenance of immune functions. Hence, ENPP-1 mediated STING pathway inactivation leads to immune suppression and enhanced tumour cell metastasis. ENPP-1 belongs to the class of Phosphodiesterases. Phosphodiesterases comprise a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of a phosphodiester bond. In some instances, phosphodiesterase has been linked with viral infection and its inhibition has been correlated with a reduction in viral replication. In some instances, the class of phosphodiesterases further comprises cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, phospholipases C and D, autotaxin, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, DNases, RNases, restriction endonucleases, and small- molecule phosphodiesterases. In another instance, phosphodiesterase is linked with a bacterial infection, e.g., an infection from a Gram-negative bacterium or a Gram-positive bacterium. In some cases, the bacterium is Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Francisella novicida, Legionella pneumophila, Chlamydia trachomatis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Hence inhibitors of phosphodiesterases would potentially impact treatment of many diseases. Crystallographic Information on protein-ligand complex 6 crystal structures are reported for ENPP-1 protein. 2YS0, 6WET, 6WEU, 6WEV, 6WEW and 6WFJ are the reported PDB codes for ENPP-1. Out of the available PDB structures 6WEV was considered for insilico studies. The resolution of this protein was reported to be 2.90 Å. 6WEV is the target considered for the execution of insilico studies. The ENPP-1 protein complexed with N-{[1-(6,7-dimethoxy-5,8-dihydroquinazolin-4-yl) piperidin-4- yl]methyl}sulfuric diamide (PDB ID: 6WEV) has additional cofactors such as 2-acetamido-2- deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranose, phosphate ion, calcium ion and zinc ions. Zinc ions play essential role in the catalytic activation of ENPP-1. Hence the interaction of drug candidate molecules with zinc ions is critical for eliciting enzyme inhibition. Molecular Docking – Methodology Molecular docking studies were executed by AutoDock4Zn program, which incorporates improved force field parameters for addressing the co-ordination properties of zinc ions with the small molecules. The energetic and geometric components of zinc ion interactions with small molecules are captured in this program. Traditional autodock force field accounts for van der Waals, hydrogen bond, Coulomb electrostatic, desolvation and ligand torsional entropy terms for describing the interactions between ligand and receptor. But the traditional autodock forcefield is inadequate for handling zinc ions as van der Waals equilibrium distances for the atoms involved in zinc coordination are significantly larger than the coordination distances and lack of specific terms for metal co-ordination. Hence potential energy term associated with the pairwise interactions of each atom type involved in zinc ion co-ordination is added to the current autodock forcefield. Other tools for molecular docking may also be used instead of AutoDock4Zn. Molecular Docking Results The structural features associated with ENPP-1 inhibitors are categorized as zinc binding head or group, core, and tail parts. Out of the three portions, the presence of zinc binding portion plays vital role in the ENPP-1 inhibition as this group co-ordinates with the zinc ion present in the catalytic site of enzyme. The core and tail groups anchor the compound tightly in the binding pocket. The inhibitor design was initiated by considering these three structural elements. ENPP-1 co-crystalized with the inhibitor reported to have good potency was considered for the docking studies. The active site residues of ENPP-1 protein include D218, F257, L290, K295, D326, S325, K338, W322, F321, Y371, Y340, P323, T356, D376, H380 and Zn ions. The re-docking of the inhibitor to the binding pocket of enzyme was performed to visualize the binding profile. Prior art available on ENPP-1 docking studies emphasize that the closeness of zinc binding head of inhibitor to zinc atoms present in the catalytic site results in the higher degree of enzyme inhibition. This observation was taken into consideration for the redocking studies. The zinc binding portion of the reference compound was found to have a close association with the zinc ions present in the active site. Inhibitors of ENPP-1 The inventive compounds of the present invention are potential inhibitors of ENPP-1. The structure of the molecules is represented in the formula 1. The present invention discloses a compound of formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, tautomer, or isomer thereof.

Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine or phosphatidylcholines. The compounds of formula 1 or salts, solvates, or hydrates thereof, may also be delivered using monoclonal antibodies as individual carriers to which the compound molecules are coupled. The compounds may also be coupled with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyrancopolymer, polyhydroxypropyl-methacrylamidephenol. polyhydroxyethylaspartamide-phenol, or poly- ethyleneoxidepolylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for example, polylactic acid, polepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates and cross-linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels. Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for transdermal administration may be presented as discrete patches intended to remain in intimate contact with the epidermis of the recipient for a prolonged period. For example, the compounds of formula 1 may be delivered from a patch by iontophoresis as described in Pharmaceutical Research, 3(6), 318 (1986). Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical administration may be formulated as ointments, creams, suspensions, lotions, powders, solutions, pastes, gels, sprays, aerosols, or oils. When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredient may be employed with either a paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base or a water-in-oil base. Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for rectal administration may be presented as suppositories or as enemas. Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for nasal administration wherein the carrier is a solid include a coarse powder having a particle size for example in the range 20 to 500 microns which is administered in the manner in which snuff is taken, i.e., by rapid inhalation though the nasal passage from a container of the powder held close up to the nose. Suitable formulations wherein the carrier is a liquid, for administration as a nasal spray or as nasal drops, include aqueous or oil solutions of the active ingredient. Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for administration by inhalation include fine particle dusts or mists, which may be generated by means of various types of metered, dose pressurized aerosols, nebulizers, or insufflators. Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for parenteral administration include aqueous and non- aqueous sterile injection solutions which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water for injections, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets. In addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations described herein may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavouring agents. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula 1 will depend upon a number of factors including, for example, the age and weight of the human or other animal, the precise condition requiring treatment and its severity, the nature of the formulation , and the route of administration, and will ultimately be at the discretion of the attendant physician or veterinarian. An effective amount of a salt or hydrate thereof may be determined as a proportion of the effective amount of the compound of Formula 1 or salts, solvates or hydrates thereof per se.
