Abstract
The present invention provides pharmacological compounds including an effector moiety conjugated to a binding moiety that directs the effector moiety to a biological target of interest. Likewise, the present invention provides compositions, kits, and methods (e.g., therapeutic, diagnostic, and imaging) including the compounds. The compounds can be described as a protein interacting binding moiety-drug conjugate (SDC-TRAP) compounds, which include a protein interacting binding moiety and an effector moiety. For example, in certain embodiments directed to treating cancer, the SDC-TRAP can include an Hsp90 inhibitor conjugated to a cytotoxic agent as the effector moiety.
Claims16
A binding moiety-drug conjugate (SDC-TRAP) comprising a binding moiety and an effector moiety, wherein the binding moiety is an Hsp90 binding moiety and comprises compounds of the following general formula V
- wherein:
- R1 is H, or CONR4R5;
- R5 is H, (C1-C6)-alkyl, or (C3-C10)-cycloalkyl, each being optionally substituted once or more with OH, OMe, Cl, or F;
- R4 is H, (C1-C4)-alkyl, or CH(R11)COR12;
- or
- R4 and R5, taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a three- to seven-membered heterocycle optionally containing a further heteroatom selected from the group consisting of N, O and S;
- and wherein the heterocycle is optionally substituted once or more by OH, OMe, (C1-C4)-alkyl, optionally substituted phenyl, or benzyl;
- R11 is a side chain of a natural α-amino acid;
- R12 is OH, amino, alkylamino or dialkylamino;
- R2 is a bond, —NH(CO)—, —N(R7)— or —N(R7)CH2—;
- R7 is H, (C1-C4)-alkyl or CO2R8;
- R8 is (C1-C4)-alkyl or benzyl;
- the endocyclic symbols are, for each single compound, all double bonds or all single bonds;
- m is an integer comprised between 0 and 3;
- R9 and R10 are, independently from each other, (C1-C4)-alkyl optionally substituted with OH, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, OMe, amino, (C1-C6)-alkylamino or (C1-C10)-dialkylamino;
- heterocycloalkyl optionally substituted once or more by alkyl, amino, (C1-C6)-alkylamino or (C1-C6)-dialkylamino;
- cycloalkyl;
- or
- R9 and R10, taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a heterocycle ring chosen from the group consisting of piperidyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperazinyl and morpholinyl, each of them being optionally substituted once or more by F, Cl, Br, OH, OMe, amino, (C1-C6)-alkylamino, (C1-C6)-dialkylamino, (C1-C4)-alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, optionally substituted phenyl, or benzyl;
- or an imidazole unsaturated heterocycle;
- R3 is Cl, Et or i-Pr;
- their tautomers, their geometrical isomers, their optically active forms such as enantiomers, diastereomers and their racemate forms, as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
