ERAP1 is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident zinc aminopeptidase that plays an important role in the immune system by trimming peptides for loading onto major histocompatibility complex proteins. Here, we report discovery of the first inhibitors selective for ERAP1 over its paralogues ERAP2 and IRAP. Compound 1 (N-(N-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)carbamimidoyl)-2,5-difluorobenzenesulfonamide) and compound 2 (1-(1-(4-acetylpiperazine-1-carbonyl)cyclohexyl)-3-(p-tolyl)urea) are competitive inhibitors of ERAP1 aminopeptidase activity. Compound 3 (4-methoxy-3-(N-(2-(piperidin-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)sulfamoyl)benzoic acid) allosterically activates ERAP1's hydrolysis of fluorogenic and chromogenic amino acid substrates but competitively inhibits its activity toward a nonamer peptide representative of physiological substrates. Compounds 2 and 3 inhibit antigen presentation in a cellular assay. Compound 3 displays higher potency for an ERAP1 variant associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease. These inhibitors provide mechanistic insights into the determinants of specificity for ERAP1, ERAP2, and IRAP and offer a new therapeutic approach of specifically inhibiting ERAP1 activity in vivo.

The present invention relates to a compound of formula (Ia), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, wherein: the group X-Y is -NHSO2- or -SO2NH-; R1 is H or alkyl; R2 is selected from COOH and a tetrazolyl group; R3 is selected from H, Cl and alkyl; R4 is selected from H, Cl and F; R5 is selected from H, alkyl, alkynyl, alkenyl, haloalkyl, SO2-alkyl, Cl, alkoxy, OH, CN, hydroxyalkyl, alkylthio, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl and haloalkoxy; R6 is H; R7 is selected from H, CN, haloalkyl, Cl, F, SO2-alkyl, SO2NR13R14, optionally substituted heteroaryl and alkyl; R8 is selected from H, alkyl, haloalkyl and halo; R9 is H, C1-C3-alkyl, or halo; R10 and R11, together with the nitrogen to which they are attached, form an azepanyl group, wherein (a) said azepanyl group is substituted by one or more substituents, or (b) one or two carbons in said azepanyl group are replaced by a group selected from O, NH, S and CO, and said azepanyl group is optionally further substituted; or R10 and R11, together with the nitrogen to which they are attached, form an azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl or piperidinyl group wherein (a) said azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl or piperidinyl group is substituted by one or more substituents, or (b) one or two carbons in said azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl or piperidinyl group are replaced by a group selected from NH, S and CO; or R10 and R11, together with the nitrogen to which they are attached, form an 8, 9 or 10-membered bicyclic heterocycloalkyl group, wherein one or two carbons in the bicyclic heterocycloalkyl ring are optionally replaced by a group selected from O, NH, S and CO, and said bicyclic heterocycloalkyl group is optionally substituted; or R10 and R11, together with the nitrogen to which they are attached, form a 6 to 12-membered bicyclic group containing a spirocyclic carbon atom, wherein one or two carbons in the bicyclic group are optionally replaced by a group selected from O, NH, S and CO, and said bicyclic group is optionally substituted, or said bicyclic group is optionally fused to a 5 or 6-membered aryl or heteroaryl group; R13 and R14 are each independently H or alkyl. Further aspects of the invention relate to such compounds for use in the field of immune-oncology and related applications.
