Definitions
- the present invention relates to a compound of Formula I or a stereoisomer, tautomer, racemic, metabolite, prodrug, salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof.
- the present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition and use thereof.
- BACKGROUND Fibroblast activation protein is a type II integral membrane serine protease that belongs to the prolyl oligopeptidase family S9, which also includes DPPIV, DPP8, DPP9, and PREP enzymes.
- the dipeptidyl peptidases have an exopeptidase activity, releasing dipeptides from peptides having a proline on the second place.
- PREP prolyl oligopeptidase
- FAP has both endo- and exopeptidase activity.
- FAP is mainly found as a cell surface homodimer but it has also been reported to form heterodimers with DPPIV in vivo.
- Purported physiological substrates of FAP endopeptidase activity include a2-antiplasmin, type I collagen, gelatin, and Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21).
- substrates include Neuropeptide Y, B-type natriuretic peptide, substance P and peptide YY.
- FAP has been implicated in pathological processes involving proliferation, tissue remodeling, chronic inflammation and/or fibrosis, including but not limited to fibrotic disease, wound healing, keloid formation, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and related disorders involving cartilage degradation, atherosclerotic disease, and Crohn's disease.
- WO2013107820 discloses inhibitors having selectivity and specificity for FAP.
- Some of the described compounds comprise a quinoline ring substituted with a halo or methoxy.
- WO2021197519 relates to derivatives of UAMC1110 comprising an alternative electrophilic warhead, specifically an alpha-ketoamide group. It was shown that these molecules can have a significantly higher affinity for FAP, when compared to UAMC1110. However, these optimized FAP inhibitors inhibit PREP as efficiently as demonstrated by IC50 values in the same range as for inhibition of FAP.
- the present invention relates in a first aspect to a compound of Formula I or a stereoisomer, tautomer, racemic, metabolite, prodrug, salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, according to claim 1.
- the compound comprises an alpha-ketoamide group and one or more substitutions at the position 6, 7 and/or 8 of the quinoline structure.
- One of said substitutions comprises one or more amine or ammonium ion groups.
- Compounds comprising a quaternary ammonium cation showed extraordinar selectivity with respect to PREP, a protease that is very closely related to FAP. These compounds are also less susceptible to metabolization, which has several advantages, for example, increased in vivo half-life, or reduced dosage requirements, or in the framework of molecular imaging tracers higher image quality.
- the polarity imparted by the quaternary ammonium group promotes higher water solubility and urinary excretion, as opposed to more lipophilic linker systems that typically cause lower water solubility and can promote hepatobiliary secretion, followed by excretion via the gut.
- Hepatobiliary secretion can be an undesirable feature, for example in the framework of radionuclide imaging and radionuclide therapy. More specifically, gut excretion causes a strong abdominal background signal in diagnostic imaging applications. Likewise, it can impose a higher radio-toxicological burden on the patient in radiotherapeutic applications.
- the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition
- a pharmaceutical composition comprising any of the compounds of the invention herein disclosed and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, excipient, or adjuvant.
- the present invention relates to the medical use of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions herein described.
- the compounds according to the invention are suited for diagnostics and/or therapeutics (including theragnostic), preferably of FAP related disorders.
- said compounds can be used for treatment and for imaging applications such as PET and other radiological diagnosis techniques, preferably in situations wherein cells express fibroblast activation protein (FAP).

- Y3 comprises a ketoamide group
- Z comprises one or more amine or ammonium ion groups.
- the inventors also unexpectedly found that additional substitutions at the position 6, 7 and/or 8 of the quinoline structure further increased the specificity of the compounds to FAP.

- Another successful substitution is the introduction of an amine, more particularly a tertiary amine.
- the findings herein disclosed can be exploited to obtain new FAP inhibitors with optimized or tailored in vivo behavior. Comparably, it can be exploited to obtain new, functionally labeled (e.g., radiolabeled or drug-labeled) FAP binding compounds with a more desirable pharmacokinetic profile and/or target selectivity.

Description
NOVEL FIBROBLAST ACTIVATION PROTEIN INHIBITORS AND MEDICAL USES THEREOF FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a compound of Formula I or a stereoisomer, tautomer, racemic, metabolite, prodrug, salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof. The present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition and use thereof. BACKGROUND Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a type II integral membrane serine protease that belongs to the prolyl oligopeptidase family S9, which also includes DPPIV, DPP8, DPP9, and PREP enzymes. The dipeptidyl peptidases (DPPs) have an exopeptidase activity, releasing dipeptides from peptides having a proline on the second place. PREP (prolyl oligopeptidase) has strict endopeptidase activity, while FAP has both endo- and exopeptidase activity. FAP is mainly found as a cell surface homodimer but it has also been reported to form heterodimers with DPPIV in vivo. Purported physiological substrates of FAP endopeptidase activity include a2-antiplasmin, type I collagen, gelatin, and Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). For its exopeptidase activity, substrates include Neuropeptide Y, B-type natriuretic peptide, substance P and peptide YY. FAP has been implicated in pathological processes involving proliferation, tissue remodeling, chronic inflammation and/or fibrosis, including but not limited to fibrotic disease, wound healing, keloid formation, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and related disorders involving cartilage degradation, atherosclerotic disease, and Crohn's disease. Based on FAP's role in (patho-)physiology, documented extensively in literature, it is reasonable to foresee further and/or potential applications of inhibitors in disease domains characterized by: (a) invasion, metastasis and proliferation (including but not limited to cancer); (b) tissue remodeling and/or chronic inflammation (including but not limited to fibrotic disease, wound healing, keloid formation, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and related disorders involving cartilage degradation) and (c) endocrinological disorders (including but not limited to disorders of glucose metabolism). One of the most potent and selective FAP inhibitors in the public domain, is UAMC1110 (also referred to as ‘cmpd. 60’ in the scientific literature). This is an
orally bioavailable molecule with a promising biopharmaceutical profile that was developed by inventors of this application (see, e.g., Jansen et al. J. Med. Chem. 2014, 3053-3074 and WO2013107820). During the past years, chemical derivatives of UAMC1110 have been published with specific functionalities (e.g. radionuclides, drugs, fluorophores). All these derivatives rely on UAMC1110 for efficient and selective delivery of the functionality to FAP-expressing cells or tissues (e.g. tumors). WO2020132661 discloses compounds for modulating FAP. Some of the described compounds comprise a UAMC1110 derivative in which the quinoline moiety is substituted with a phenyl or pyridine linker. Comparably, WO2013107820 discloses inhibitors having selectivity and specificity for FAP. Some of the described compounds comprise a quinoline ring substituted with a halo or methoxy. WO2021197519 relates to derivatives of UAMC1110 comprising an alternative electrophilic warhead, specifically an alpha-ketoamide group. It was shown that these molecules can have a significantly higher affinity for FAP, when compared to UAMC1110. However, these optimized FAP inhibitors inhibit PREP as efficiently as demonstrated by IC50 values in the same range as for inhibition of FAP. There is a need to tailor the properties of FAP inhibitors to improve selectivity and efficacy in vivo for different application types (e.g. therapeutic applications, PET- diagnostics, etc.). Selectivity of FAP inhibitors with respect to PREP is particularly important, as PREP is nearly ubiquitously expressed in the human body. Furthermore, good stability and an ability to penetrate different kinds of tissues is desired. The current invention aims to provide a solution thereto. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates in a first aspect to a compound of Formula I or a stereoisomer, tautomer, racemic, metabolite, prodrug, salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, according to claim 1. The compound comprises an alpha-ketoamide group and one or more substitutions at the position 6, 7 and/or 8 of the quinoline structure. One of said substitutions comprises one or more amine or ammonium ion groups. Compounds comprising a quaternary ammonium cation showed exquisite selectivity with respect to PREP, a protease that is very closely related to FAP. These
compounds are also less susceptible to metabolization, which has several advantages, for example, increased in vivo half-life, or reduced dosage requirements, or in the framework of molecular imaging tracers higher image quality. In addition, the polarity imparted by the quaternary ammonium group promotes higher water solubility and urinary excretion, as opposed to more lipophilic linker systems that typically cause lower water solubility and can promote hepatobiliary secretion, followed by excretion via the gut. Hepatobiliary secretion can be an undesirable feature, for example in the framework of radionuclide imaging and radionuclide therapy. More specifically, gut excretion causes a strong abdominal background signal in diagnostic imaging applications. Likewise, it can impose a higher radio-toxicological burden on the patient in radiotherapeutic applications. Interestingly, the above mentioned highly desired characteristics also apply for the compounds of Formula I comprising an alpha-ketoamide group and an amine group at the position 6, 7 and/or 8 of the quinoline structure, because these compounds become protonated at physiological pH. In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising any of the compounds of the invention herein disclosed and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, excipient, or adjuvant. In a third aspect, the present invention relates to the medical use of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions herein described. The compounds according to the invention are suited for diagnostics and/or therapeutics (including theragnostic), preferably of FAP related disorders. More in particular, said compounds can be used for treatment and for imaging applications such as PET and other radiological diagnosis techniques, preferably in situations wherein cells express fibroblast activation protein (FAP). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Described herein are compounds according to Formula I:
(I) or a stereoisomer, tautomer, racemic, metabolite, prodrug, salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, wherein Y3 comprises a ketoamide group and wherein Z comprises one or more amine or ammonium ion groups. During research on UAMC1110 derivatives, the inventors have found that the presence of a keto-amide electrophilic warhead improves the efficacy of UAMC1110 derivatives in inhibiting FAP. The inventors also unexpectedly found that additional substitutions at the position 6, 7 and/or 8 of the quinoline structure further increased the specificity of the compounds to FAP. One of the very successful substitutions is the introduction of an ammonium cation, more particularly a quaternary ammonium cation. Another successful substitution is the introduction of an amine, more particularly a tertiary amine. The findings herein disclosed can be exploited to obtain new FAP inhibitors with optimized or tailored in vivo behavior. Comparably, it can be exploited to obtain new, functionally labeled (e.g., radiolabeled or drug-labeled) FAP binding compounds with a more desirable pharmacokinetic profile and/or target selectivity. The compounds can be used for inhibiting FAP activity and thus to treat disorders mediated by increased FAP activity. In certain embodiments, the compound is used to treat a disease or a disorder mediated by FAP in an individual. Such diseases or disorders can include or be characterized by proliferation, tissue remodeling, chronic inflammation, obesity, glucose intolerance, and/or insulin insensitivity. In some embodiments, the compound is used to diagnose and/or treat diseases
characterized by proliferation, tissue remodeling, chronic inflammation, obesity, glucose intolerance, and/or insulin insensitivity. A non-limiting list of such diseases includes cancer, fibrosis or diseases characterized by fibrotic lesions, atherosclerosis, arthritis and diabetes. Definitions Unless otherwise defined, all terms used in disclosing the invention, including technical and scientific terms, have the meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. By means of further guidance, term definitions are included to better appreciate the teaching of the present invention. As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings: “A”, “an”, and “the” as used herein refers to both singular and plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. By way of example, “a compartment” refers to one or more than one compartment. The recitation of numerical ranges by endpoints includes all numbers and fractions subsumed within that range, as well as the recited endpoints. “FAP” or “fibroblast activation protein” refers to the serine protease with EC code EC 3.4.2.1.B28. Alternative names for FAP are FAPa, FAP alpha subunit, seprase or a2- antiplasmin converting enzyme. “Alkyl” as used herein refers to and includes, unless otherwise stated, a saturated linear (i.e., unbranched) or branched univalent hydrocarbon chain or combination thereof, having the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e., C1-C10 means one to ten carbon atoms). Particular alkyl groups are those having 1 to 20 carbon atoms (a C1-C20 alkyl”), having 1 to 10 carbon atoms (a C1-C10 alkyl), having 6 to 10 carbon atoms (a C6-C10 alkyl), or having 1 to 4 carbon atoms (a C1-C4 alkyl). Examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, groups such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n- octyl, n-nonyl, n-decyl, and the like. “Halo” or “halogen” refers to elements of the Group 17 series having atomic number 9 to 85. Preferred halo groups include the radicals of fluorine, chlorine, astatine, bromine and iodine. Where a residue is substituted with more than one halogen, it
may be referred to by using a prefix corresponding to the number of halogen moieties attached, e.g., dihaloaryl, dihaloalkyl, trihaloaryl etc. refer to aryl and alkyl substituted with two (“di”) or three (“tri”) halo groups, which may be but are not necessarily the same halogen; thus 4-chloro-3-fluorophenyl is within the scope of dihaloaryl. A “heterocycle” or “heterocyclic” as used herein refers to a saturated or an unsaturated non-aromatic cyclic group having a single ring or multiple condensed rings and having from 1 to 14 annular carbon atoms and from 1 to 6 annular heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur or oxygen, and the like. A heterocycle comprising more than one ring may be fused, bridged or spiro, or any combination thereof, but excludes heteroaryl groups. The heterocyclic group may be optionally substituted independently with one or more substituents described herein. Particular heterocyclic groups are 3 to 14-membered rings having 1 to 13 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 6 annular heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, phosphorous, oxygen and sulfur, 3 to 12-membered rings having 1 to 11 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 6 annular heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, phosphorous, oxygen and sulfur, 3 to 10-membered rings having 1 to 9 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 4 annular heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, phosphorous, oxygen and sulfur, 3 to 8-membered rings having 1 to 7 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 4 annular heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, phosphorous, oxygen and sulfur, or 3 to 6-nienibered rings having 1 to 5 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 4 annular heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, phosphorous, oxygen and sulfur. Particular heterocyclic groups are monocyclic 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered rings having from 1 to 2, 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, or 1 to 6 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 2, 1 to 3, or 1 to 4 annular heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, phosphorous, oxygen and sulfur. Particular heterocyclic groups are polycyclic non-aromatic rings having from 1 to 12 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 6 annular heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, phosphorous, oxygen and sulfur. The term “keto-amide” refers to a chemical compound that contains both a carbonyl group (a carbon-oxygen double bond, C=O) and an amide group (-CONH2) within its structure. The term "alpha-ketoamide" or “a-ketoamide” refers to a specific type of keto-amide where the carbonyl group is attached to the alpha carbon atom of the amide moiety.
An “amine” or “amine group” as used herein refers to a chemical structure or chemical group comprising a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more carbon atoms. It is a derivative of ammonia (NH3) in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic substituents, typically alkyl or aryl groups. Amines can be classified into primary, secondary and tertiary amines based on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the nitrogen atom. In a primary amine, one hydrogen atom from ammonia is replaced by an organic group (alkyl or aryl). The general structure of a primary amine can be represented as R-NH2, where R represents an alkyl or aryl group. In a secondary amine, two hydrogen atoms from ammonia are replaced by organic groups. The general structure of a secondary amine is R2-NH, where both R groups can be the same or different. In a tertiary amine, all three hydrogen atoms from ammonia are replaced by organic groups. The general structure of a tertiary amine is R3-N, where all three R groups can be the same or different. Amines comprise a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. This lone pair of electrons can readily accept a proton (H+) from an acid, forming a positively charged ion known as an ammonium ion (e.g. NH + 4 ). The resulting ammonium ion retains the lone pair of electrons, making it capable of participating in hydrogen bonding and other interactions with negatively charged species. A “protonated amine” as used herein thus refers to an “ammonium cation” and vice versa. An “ammonium ion group” as used herein refers to a chemical structure or chemical group comprising a positively charged nitrogen atom bonded to one or more carbon atoms. Ammonium ions or more particularly ammonium cations can be categorized in primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary ammonium ions similar to how amines are classified. A “primary ammonium cation” is formed when one alkyl or aryl group is attached to the nitrogen atom of the ammonium ion. Its general formula is R-NH3+, where R represents the alkyl or aryl group. A “secondary ammonium cation” is formed when two alkyl or aryl groups are attached to the nitrogen atom of the ammonium ion. Its general formula is R2-NH2+, where both R groups can be the same or different. A “tertiary ammonium cation” is formed when three alkyl or aryl groups are attached to the nitrogen atom of the ammonium ion. Its general formula is R + 3-NH , where all three R groups can be the same or different. A “quaternary ammonium cation” is formed when four alkyl or aryl groups are attached to the nitrogen atom of the ammonium ion. It is a positively charged ion with no hydrogen atoms directly attached to the nitrogen. Its general formula is R4N+, where all four R groups can be the same or different. Quaternary ammonium ions are often encountered in the
form of salts and a positive electrostatic charge is present, independently of the pH. The nitrogen atom may be saturated, being bonded to four carbon atoms by single bonds, or may be unsaturated, being bonded to two carbon atoms by single bonds and to a third carbon atom by a double bond. Where the nitrogen atom is unsaturated, it may be part of a heteroaromatic ring, such as an imidazolium cation. Where the nitrogen atom is saturated, it may be part of an alicyclic ring, such as a pyrrolidinium or a piperidinium cation. “Optionally substituted” unless otherwise specified means that a group may be unsubstituted or substituted by one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) of the substituents listed for that group in which the substituents may be the same of different. In one embodiment, an optionally substituted group has one substituent. In another embodiment, an optionally substituted group has two substituents. In another embodiment, an optionally substituted group has three substituents. In another embodiment, an optionally substituted group has four substituents. In some embodiments, an optionally substituted group has 1 to 2, 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, or 2 to 5 substituents. In one embodiment, an optionally substituted group is unsubstituted. As used herein, “treatment” or “treating” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including clinical results. Beneficial or desired results include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: decreasing one more symptoms resulting from the disease, diminishing the extent of the disease, stabilizing the disease (e.g., preventing or delaying the worsening of the disease), preventing or delaying the spread of the disease, delaying the occurrence or recurrence of the disease, delay or slowing the progression of the disease, ameliorating the disease state, providing a remission (whether partial or total) of the disease, decreasing the dose of one or more oilier medications required to treat the disease, enhancing effect of another medication, delaying the progression of the disease, increasing the quality of life, and/or prolonging survival. The methods described herein contemplate any one or more of these aspects of treatment. The term “diagnostic” as used herein means having the ability to detect, monitor, follow, and/or identify a disease or condition in an animal (including humans) or from a biological sample.
The term “theragnostic” as used herein means having the combined effects of a therapeutic and a diagnostic composition. The composition is suitable to identify (diagnose) and to deliver therapy (therapeutics). As used herein, the term “radionuclide” includes metallic and non-metallic radionuclides. The radionuclide is chosen based on the medical application of the radiolabeled pharmaceutical composition. When the radionuclide is a metallic radionuclide, a chelator is typically employed to bind the metallic radionuclide to the rest of the molecule. When the radionuclide is a non-metallic radionuclide, the non- metallic radionuclide is typically linked directly to the rest of the molecule. Radionuclides are routinely used in nuclear medicine for the diagnosis and/or therapy of various diseases. The radiolabeled pharmaceutical agent, for example, a radiolabeled medicament, contains a radionuclide which serves as the radiation source. Radionuclide therapy is a therapy using said radionuclides. As used herein, by “pharmaceutically acceptable” or “pharmacologically acceptable” is meant a material that is not biologically or otherwise undesirable, e.g., the material may be incorporated into a pharmaceutical composition administered to a patient without causing any significant undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the other components of the composition in which it is contained. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients have preferably met the required standards of toxicological and manufacturing testing and/or are included on the Inactive Ingredient Guide prepared by the U.S. Food and Drug administration and/or have been approved by the administrations such as EMA and/or United States Food and Drug Administration as being acceptable for use in humans or domestic animals. The term “excipient” as used herein means an inert or inactive substance that may be used in the production of a drug or pharmaceutical, such as a tablet containing a compound of the invention as an active ingredient. Various substances may be embraced by the term excipient, including without limitation any substance used as a binder, disintegrant, coating, compression/encapsulation aid, cream or lotion, lubricant, solutions for parenteral administration, materials for chewable tablets, sweetener or flavoring, suspending/gelling agent, or wet granulation agent. Binders include, e.g., carbomers, povidone, xanthan gum, etc; coatings include, e.g, cellulose acetate phthalate, ethylcellulose, gellan gum, maltodextrin, enteric coatings, etc.; compression/encapsulation aids include, e.g., calcium carbonate, dextrose, fructose dc (dc = “directly compressible”), honey dc, lactose (anhydrate
or monohydrate; optionally in combination with aspartame, cellulose, or microcrystalline cellulose), starch dc, sucrose, etc.; disintegrants include, e.g., croscarmellose sodium, gellan gum, sodium starch glycolate, etc.; creams or lotions include, e.g., maltodextrin, carrageenans, etc.; lubricants include, e.g., magnesium stearate, stearic acid, sodium stearyl fumarate, etc.; materials for tablets include, e.g., dextrose, fructose de, lactose (monohydrate, optionally in combination with aspartame or cellulose), etc.; suspending/gelling agents include, e.g., carrageenan, sodium starch glycolate, xanthan gum, etc.; sweeteners include, e.g., aspartame, dextrose, fructose dc, sorbitol, sucrose dc, etc.: and wet granulation agents include, e.g., calcium carbonate, maltodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, etc. Compounds In a first aspect, the invention relates to a compound of Formula I.

In an embodiment, the compound of Formula I is present as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer or tautomer thereof. The inventors have found that compounds according to Formula I are very effective in inhibiting fibroblast activation protein (FAP), more particularly in selectively inhibiting FAP. Hence, in one embodiment, the compound of the application is a FAP inhibitor, more particularly a specific or selective FAP inhibitor. A selective FAP inhibitor as used herein refers to a compound that specifically inhibits FAP and not or to a lesser
extent closely related proteins such as PREP. In one embodiment, the selective FAP inhibitor has a FAP-to-PREP selectivity index of at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10.

Example 2. Synthetic approach, procedures and compound characterization for non-fluorinated compounds, such as 14a and 15a The overall synthetic approach to the described non-fluorinated compounds is shown in Scheme 5 and 6. As a starting material for the preparation of non-fluorinated analogs, tert-butyl (S)- 2-formylpyrrolidine-1-carboxylate was chosen. The aldehyde was subjected to the PADAM (Passerini reaction – Amine Deprotection – Acyl Migration reaction) sequence reaction to form a diastereomeric mixture of alcohols. A primary amine was deprotected by catalytic hydrogenation, and the resultant product was coupled with 6-(3-(dimethylamino)propoxy)quinoline-4-carboxylic acid in the presence of PPAA, followed by oxidation with Dess-Martin periodinane. The resulting compound was methylated with methyl iodide to form the desired quaternary ammonium salt.

Biochemical evaluation of compounds In order evaluate the specificity and selectivity of the compounds of the invention, the compounds are evaluated as inhibitors of FAP, PREP, DPP4, DPP8, DPP9 and DPP2. a) Used enzymes in these assays: • A gateway-entry clone for human FAP was purchased from Dharmacon (Accession number DQ891423) and the human secretion signal was replaced with the HoneyBee mellitin secretion signal. For transfection and expression of FAP in Sf9 insect cells the C-terminal BaculoDirect kit from LifeTechnologies was used. The enzyme was purified from the supernatant of the insect cells using immobilized Ni-chelating chromatography (GE healthcare, Diegem, Belgium), followed by anion-exchange chromatography using a 1 mL HiTrap Q and size exclusion chromatography using the Superdex 200 column (GE healthcare, Diegem, Belgium).
• Human recombinant PREP was expressed in BL21(DE3) cells and purified using immobilized Co-chelating chromatography (GE healthcare), followed by anion- exchange chromatography on a 1 ml Mono Q column (GE healthcare). • DPP4 was purified from human seminal plasma. • Gateway-entry clones for human DPP8 and DPP9 were purchased from Dharmacon (Accession numbers DQ891733 and DQ892325 respectively). For transfection and expression of DPP8 and DPP9 in Sf9 insect cells the N-terminal BaculoDirect kit from LifeTechnologies was used. The enzymes were purified using immobilized Ni-chelating chromatography (GE healthcare, Diegem, Belgium), followed by anion-exchange chromatography using a 1 mL Mono Q (GE healthcare, Diegem, Belgium). b) IC50 measurements: • For FAP: IC50 measurement of the probes was performed using Z-Gly-Pro-7- amino-4-methylcoumarine (AMC) (Bachem) as the substrate at a concentration of 50 µM at pH 8 (0.05 M Tris-HCl buffer, 1 mg/mL BSA and 140 mM NaCl). Eight concentrations of inhibitors/probe were tested. The final DMSO concentration was kept constant during the experiment to exclude any effects. Inhibitors were pre- incubated with the enzyme for 15 minutes at 37 °C, afterwards the substrate was added and the velocities of AMC release were measured kinetically at λex= 380 nm, λem= 465 nm for at least 10 minutes at 37 °C. Measurements were executed on the Infinite 200 (Tecan Group Ltd.) and the Magellan software was used to process the data. • For PREP: IC50 measurements of the probes were carried out using N-succinyl-Gly-Pro-AMC (Bachem) as the substrate at a concentration of 250 µM at pH 7.4 (0.1 M K- phosphate, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT and 1 mg/mL BSA). Eight concentrations of inhibitors were tested. The final DMSO concentration in kept constant during the experiment to exclude any effects. Inhibitors were pre-incubated with the enzyme for 15 minutes at 37 °C, afterwards the substrate was added and the velocities of AMC release were measured kinetically at λex= 380 nm, λem= 465 nm for at least 10 minutes at 37 °C. Measurements were done on the Infinite 200 (Tecan Group Ltd.) and the Magellan software was used to process the data. ^ For DPP4, DPP8 and DPP9 IC50-values were determined using Ala-Pro-paranitroanilide (pNA) as the substrate at the respective final concentrations of 25 µM (DPP4), 300 µM (DPP8) or 150 µM (DPP9) at pH 7.4 (0.05 M HEPES-NaOH buffer with 0.1 % Tween-20, 0.1 mg/mL BSA and 150 mM NaCl). At least eight different inhibitor concentrations were used. The final DMSO concentration is kept constant during
the experiment to exclude any effects. Inhibitors were pre-incubated with the enzyme for 15 minutes at 37 °C, afterwards the substrate was added and the velocities of pNA release were measured kinetically at 405 nm for at least 10 minutes at 37 °C. Measurements were done on the Infinite 200 (Tecan Group Ltd.) and the Magellan software was used to process the data. c) IC50 results: The specificity of reference molecule 1 (WO2021197519A1) was tested by comparing its inhibitory effect on FAP, PREP, DPP4, DPP8 and DPP9 activity to that of the reference molecule UAMC1110. While reference molecule 1 showed to be a very efficient FAP inhibitor (IC50 = 0.43 ± 0.02 nM) compared to DPP4, DPP8 and DPP9 (IC50 >1 µM, > 1µM and >10 µM respectively), reference molecule 1was shown to be an efficient PREP inhibitor as well (IC50 = 0.6 ± 0.00 µM). Interestingly, the novel FAP inhibitors as described herein showed an increased selectivity towards FAP. While the novel FAP inhibitors have an IC50 for FAP that is similar to the reference molecule 1, the IC50 for PREP was significantly higher, more particular a factor 15 to 100 times higher than that of reference molecule 1. Hence, the herein described compounds are significantly more selective for FAP (Table 3). Table 3.

The selectivity index as used herein is the ratio of two IC50-values. For example: the FAP-to-PREP selectivity index is defined as (IC50(PREP)/IC50(FAP)). In Table 3, the FAP-to-other enzyme selectivity indices are represented by the name of the other enzymes (PREP, DPP4, DPP8, DPP9). Hence, the selectivity index of PREP is IC50(PREP)/IC50(FAP).
