Four FGF receptors, FGFR1-4, but multiple splice variants in extracellular ligand binding domain create many more receptor isoforms with different ligand binding specificities

Targeting FGFR kinase inhibition the four receptors have different, but highly homogous, kinase domains

Identification of AZ FGFR hit compounds

9

Screening of compounds prepared in an IGF1R TKI project in a kinase panel highlighted some pyrazolylaminopyrimidines that were more potent against FGFR than other kinases in the panel.

A key project aim was to identify compounds that are selective inhibitors of FGFR suitable for in vivo testing in order to identify FGFR driven effects. In particular this meant selectivity with respect to VEGFR.

Crystal structure and SAR analysis was used to guide chemistry to achieve desired selectivity goal.

Pyrazolylaminopyrimidines summary and next steps…..

14

• Pyrazolylaminopyrimidines inhibitors provided potent and selective FGFR inhibitors and understanding of SAR.

• However the physical and ADME properties of the more potent pyrazolylaminopyrimidines were far from acceptable.

• To improve on these aminopyrazole based inhibitors of FGFR1, we sought to identify alternative compounds, containing this key hinge binding motif, that could provide a less intrinsically lipophilic start point for developing FGFR inhibitors.

• As part of this effort, compound 12 was synthesized and found to be a sub-micromolar inhibitor of FGFR1

Pyrazolylbenzamide summary and next steps…..

24

Representative compounds in the pyrazolylbenzamide series fall into two groups:-

•Those with moderate/high clearance and reasonable bioavailability,

• associated with lower pKa, higher LogD and higher permeability

and

•Those with low clearance but with low oral bioavailability,

• associated with higher pKa, lower LogD and lower permeability.

Page 24: The discovery of AZD4547

Pyrazolylbenzamide summary and next steps…..

25

Hypothesis• Metabolism appears to be blocked by protonation of the terminal

nitrogen. Higher pKa compounds show lower intrinsic clearance.

• However compounds with higher pKa, lower LogD, and/or higher NH donor count appear to show poor absorption.

Proposal• Explore N-alkyl heterocycle with moderated pKa and LogD.

(increased pKa and lower LogD).

• Explore NH heterocycles with increased lipophilicity and potential to sterically “mask” the polar NH group.

Summary

• Pyrazolylaminopyrimidine hits provided key understanding of SAR and binding interactions leading to potent and selective inhibitors.

• The discovery of pyrazolylbenzamide leads provided a series with more attractive physical properties for optimisation of vivo activity.

• The design of pyrazolylbenzamide with the appropriate balance of pKa, lipophilicity and polarity lead to potent FGFR inhibition in vivo and the identification of AZD4547.

• AZD4547 is a potent, orally bioavailable inhibitor of FGFR tyrosine kinases 1, 2 and 3.

• AZD4547 is selective versus a number of off-target kinases including KDR and has favourable drug properties.

• Genetic dysregulation of FGFRs confers sensitivity to AZD4547 in tumour cell lines and primary, ex-plant tumour models

• AZD4547 is currently in Phase I/II clinical trials
