The present disclosure relates to te rt-butyl (S)-2-(4-(phenyl)-6H-thieno[3,2-f][l,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a] [l,4]diazepin-6-yl) acetate derivatives and related compounds as bromodomain BRD4 inhibitors for treating cancer. Exemplary compounds are e.g. tert-butyl (S)-2-(4-(4-(3-aminoprop-l-yn-l-yl)phenyl)-2,3,9-trimethyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][l,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][l,4]diazepin-6-yl)acetate (example 1, compound la), tert-butyl(S,E)-2-(4-(4-(3-aminoprop-l-en-l-yl)phenyl)-2,3,9-trimethyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][l,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][l,4]diazepin-6-yl)acetate (example 6, compound 6a) or tert-butyl(S)-2-(4-(4-(3-(hydroxyamino)prop-l-yn-l-yl)phenyl)-2,3,9-trimethyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][l,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a] [l,4]diazepin-6-yl)acetate (example 8, compound 8a).Results of biological assays, such as e.g. BRD4 BD1 and BD2 binding (table 2), cell proliferation assays (table 6) and inhibition of MYC expression in MV-4-11 cells (table 7) are disclosed. |
