Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel class of aldo-keto reductase inhibitors, aldo-keto reductase subfamily 1C3 (AKR1C3) inhibitors and to compositions containing AKR1C3 inhibitors, to methods for preparation of AKR1C3 inhibitors, and to methods of use thereof.
  • aldo-keto reductase inhibitors aldo-keto reductase subfamily 1C3 (AKR1C3) inhibitors
  • compositions containing AKR1C3 inhibitors to methods for preparation of AKR1C3 inhibitors, and to methods of use thereof.
  • AKR1C3 inhibitors are useful in the treatment of, for example, prostate cancer, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), acne, seborrhea, hirsuitism, baldness, alopecia, precocious puberty, adrenal hypertrophy, polycystic ovary syndrome, breast cancer, endometriosis, myeloma and leiomyoma.
  • AKR1C3 inhibitors may also provide a function as inhibitors of AKRlC3-mediated androgen-dependent androgen receptor-transactivation, i.e., inhibitors of an AKR1C3 co-activation function, as described herein.
  • Androgens and estrogens through their intracellular receptors, promote physiological and pathological developments. Both these classes of steroid hormones are critical for the growth of secondary sexual characteristics, bone, muscle and for the function of neurological and other tissues. These hormones, their receptors and associated proteins have also been implicated in the transformation of normal reproductive tissues into cancerous tissues. A large proportion of androgens in men (40%), and the majority of estrogens in women (75% before menopause and close to 100% after menopause), are synthesized in peripheral target tissues from precursor steroids of adrenal origin. The genes encoding the enzymes responsible for the formation and metabolism of androgens and estrogens are expressed in a large series of peripheral tissues, thus providing the basis for a promising new area in hormone action, namely intracrinology.
  • Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the active circulating androgens, and estradiol, the potent circulating estrogen, are synthesized from the weak adrenally synthesized precursors androstenedione and estrone, respectively, by steroidogenic enzymes belonging to the class of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSDs).
  • HSDs hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
  • Potent endogenous androgens (testosterone and DHT) are synthesized by type 3 (testicular) and type 5 (peripheral tissues such as adrenal, prostate, etc,) 17 -HSDs.
  • the human AKRIC isozymes are hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases, and are involved in the pre-receptor regulation of steroid hormone action.
  • AKRIC isozymes regulate the concentration of active and inactive androgens, estrogens and progestins in target tissues by catalyzing the reduction of ketosteroids at positions C3, C17 or C20.
  • AKRIC isozymes regulate the ligand occupancy and transactivation of steroid hormone receptors such as the androgen receptor, estrogen receptor, and progesterone receptor by altering the intracellular steroid hormone formation rates and thus the steroid hormone concentration in target tissues.
  • Hormone dependent cancers such as breast and prostate cancer
  • the AKRIC enzymes support the synthesis of these hormones locally.
  • Microarray analysis of prostate cancer tissues has shown that the AKR1C3 isoform is over-expressed in advanced or metastatic prostate cancers compared to organ-confined prostate cancer.
  • androgen biosynthesis continues in peripheral tissues (i.e., not in testes) and supports the post-castration proliferation of prostate cancer (e.g. castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)) and that the AKR1C3 is the key enzyme that mediates this peripheral androgen synthesis.

  • AKR1C2 type 3 3a-HSD
  • AKR1C3 type 5 ⁇ -HSD
  • AKR1C4 type 1 3a-HSD
  • the four isozymes display different substrate preferences, inhibition profiles and tissue specific expression patterns.
  • AKRIC isoforms In addition to prostate cancer, alterations in the expression and function of AKRIC isoforms have been reported in other cancers, such as breast cancer, small cell lung cancer and myeloma, suggesting a role for these isozymes in the development of other cancers. Drugs that increase the function of AKR1C1 and AKR1C2 or drugs that decrease the function of AKR1C3 may be useful in treating various malignancies related to steroid hormones.
  • AKR1C3 is a 37 kDa cytosolic enzyme of the NAD dependent aldo-keto reductase family. AKR1C3 is also known as 17 -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 5 (17 HSD5), 3otHSD2, and prostaglandin F synthase. Isoforms AKRIC 1-4 have overlapping function depending on substrate concentration and tissue distribution.
  • AKRIC enzymes catalyze multiple enzymatic reactions to include: conversion of the potent progestin progesterone to the weak progestin 20ot-hydroxyprogesterone (AKR1C1, AKR1C3); conversion of the most potent endogenous androgen 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to the weak androgen 5ot-androstane-3a,17P-diol (3a- diol) (AKR1C2); conversion of the weak adrenal androgen androstene-3,17-dione (also known as androstenedione, A'dione, or 4'dione) to the potent androgen testosterone (AKR1C3; also done by 17 HSD3 in Leydig cells); conversion of the weak androgen 5a-androstanedione (5a-dione) to the most active androgen DHT (AKR1C3) ( Figure 1); conversion of the weak estrogen estrone to 17 ⁇ - estradio
  • inhibition of AKR1C3 activity may reduce the level of end products as described above.
  • inhibition of AKR1C3 activity may reduce the level of the potent androgens testosterone and 5ot-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and/or the potent estrogen 17 -estradiol and/or the proliferative prostaglandin PGF2ot.
  • inhibition of AKR1C3 activity may increase the level of starting product as described above.
  • inihibition of AKR1C3 activity may increase the level of the potent progestin progesterone.
  • AKR1C3 is expressed in numerous tissues including liver, prostate, testes, adrenals, uterus, breast, lung, kidney, bladder, ovary, adipose, and brain.
  • AKR1C3 is considered an activating enzyme for the androgen receptor (AR) through biosynthesis of testosterone, the estrogen receptor (ER) through biosynthesis of 17 -estradiol, and a deactivating enzyme of the peroxiosome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARy) through the synthesis of PGF2ot.

  • AKR1C3 inhibitors may be advantageous in the treatment of prostate cancer.
  • gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist e.g., leuprolide acetate
  • CYP17A1 (17,20-lyase; 17ot-hydroxylase) inhibitors such as ketoconazole and abiraterone inhibit conversion of pregnenolone and progesterone to DHEA and androstenedione, respectively, and exhibit moderate efficacy in CRPC.
  • AKR1C3 is upregulated in CRPC and represents a more specific target for preventing localized androgen biosynthesis (i.e. lyase inhibitors also prevent Cortisol synthesis leading to mineralocorticoid excess, especially abiraterone).
  • lyase inhibitors also prevent Cortisol synthesis leading to mineralocorticoid excess, especially abiraterone.
  • other enzymatic roles of AKR1C3 promote prostate tumor growth. These include the effects on prostaglandin metabolism which increase prostate growth and tumor vascularity by decreasing PGJ2 resulting in reduction in PPARy activity and up-regulation of COX-2. Conversion of DHT to 3ot-diol is thought to increase prostate cell proliferation through an AR-independent pathway involving epidermal growth factor-like pathway.
  • inhibition of AKR1C3 may have direct anti-proliferative effects via decreases in estrogen and androgen synthesis intratumorally (as well as in adjacent tissues), which would limit the occupation of AR and ER.
  • indirect anti-proliferative effects of AKR1C3 inhibition may arise from increased levels of pro-differentiative ligands, e.g., PPARy ligands and decreased levels of 3ot-diol (EGF-like pathway).
  • AKR1C3 inhibitors may be advantageous for the treatment of breast cancer.
  • Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and aromatase inhibitors are widely used in treatment of ER positive breast cancer, which includes about 75% of the cases.
  • AKR1C3 is consistently over expressed in breast cancer ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive breast cancer ductal carcinoma, as well as being an indicator of poor prognosis for breast cancer.
  • AKR1C3 promotion of breast tumor growth exist such as: a) conversion of androstenedione to testosterone provides a substrate for CYP19 aromatase to create 17 -estradiol; b) conversion of estrone (weak estrogen) to 17 -estradiol; c) reduction of the anti-proliferative effect of PGD2; and d) decrease in progesterone by inactivation to 20ot-progesterone which further increases ER:PR ratio.
  • inhibition of AKR1C3 should be therapeutic in breast cancer as inhibition of mechanisms a) and b) above should decrease intratumoral ER occupancy, and inhibition of mechanism c) should increase intratumoral occupancy of PPARy.
  • AKR1C3 inhibitors may be advantageous for the treatment of AR-positive and ER-positive breast cancers.
  • CRPC and refractory breast cancer are common cancers with low survival rates (less than 50% at 5 yrs).
  • AKR1C3 inhibitors may be useful for androgen-dependent conditions.
  • Non limiting examples of such uses include: (a) treatment of adrenal adenomas, carcinoma, or hyperplasia; (b) treatment of Leydig cell tumors in men; (c) treatment of arrhenoblastomas in women; (d) treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in women; e) treatment, prevention, decreasing the incidence of, halting and/or causing a regression of prostate cancer; f) other clinical, therapeutic, and/or diagnostic areas; or g) treatment and/or prevention of acne, seborrhea, hirsuitism, baldness and alopecia.
  • PCOS polycystic ovarian syndrome
  • AKR1C3 inhibitors may be useful for estrogen-dependent conditions.
  • Non limiting examples of such uses include (a) treating, suppressing, inhibiting or reducing the amount of precancerous precursors of prostate adenocarcinoma, for example, those having benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) or an abnormally high level of circulating prostate specific antibody (PSA), or who have a family history of prostate cancer; (b) treating, preventing, suppressing, inhibiting, or reducing the incidence of osteoporosis, hot flashes, gynecomastia, and/or hair loss in male human subjects having prostate cancer; (c) treating, suppressing, inhibiting or reducing the risk of developing prostate cancer; or (d) treating, suppressing, inhibiting or reducing the risk of developing breast cancer in a subject.
  • AKR1C3 inhibitors may be useful for prostaglandin-dependent diseases.
  • AKR1C3 is the only known PGF2 synthase in humans.
  • Diseases related to increased PGF2 levels include: endometriosis, inflammatory tachycardia, lung cancer, asthma and airway inflammation, type 2 diabetes, obesity, multiple inflammatory diseases, diseases related to oxidative stress, dysmenorrhea, and renal cell carcinoma. These diseases could result from direct increases in PGF2 levels or from decreases in PPAR- ⁇ activity (as AKR1C3 sequesters the precursor of endogenous PPAR- ⁇ ligand, which is PGJ2, to form PGF2).
  • AKR1C3 also catalyzes the reduction of prostaglandin (PG) H(2) to PGF(2a) and PGD(2) to 9a,l i -PGF(2), which will limit the formation of anti-proliferative prostaglandins, including 15-deoxy-A(12,14)- PGJ(2), and contribute to proliferative signaling.

  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as indomethacin and flufenamic acid are known commercial inhibitors of AKR1C3.
  • NSAIDs have significant cross- reactivity with cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which leads to side effects such as gastric irritation, ulcers, cardiovascular problems and others.
  • COX-1 and COX-2 cyclooxygenase enzymes
  • there is a need in the art to develop new HSD inhibitors for example, HSD inhibitors that are specific to AKR1C3 and that lack cross-reactivity with, for example, other AKR1C isoforms and HSD isoforms, and with other enzymes, such as COX enzymes.
  • AKR1C3 inhibitors of this invention do not cross-react or have significantly reduced cross-reactivity with respect to CYP17A1, COX-1, COX-2, other AKR1C enzymes, 17 ⁇ 8 ⁇ 3, and are not agonist or antagonists for steroid hormone receptors such as AR, ER, and PR. Yet, AKR1C3 inhibitors may inhibit the down-stream activities of steroid receptors, as AKR1C3 inhibitors may regulate the formation of ligands for these receptors. For example, an AKR1C3 inhibitor may decrease or inhibit the activity of the AR receptor by decreasing the amount of available testosterone and DHT.
  • an AKR1C3 inhibitor may decrease or inhibit the activity of an ER receptor (ER-alpha or ER-beta) by decreasing the amount of available estradiol. Further, an AKR1C3 inhibitor may increase or augment the activity of the PR receptor by decreasing the amount of available progesterone.
