Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compounds capable of binding to the active site of protein kinase enzymes.
  • a family of libraries of compounds is provided for use in screening programmes against protein kinases as well as the individual compounds for use in hit to lead and lead optimisation projects, and similar stages in the drug discovery process.
  • the invention also provides methods for making compounds and libraries.
  • Screening libraries are commonly collections of compounds from several sources. As a result they typically contain compounds synthesised as part of previous projects in the history of a company. With regard to drug discovery, these collections will be drug-like but are likely to be limited in scope and will be directed to certain areas of a project. It has been the common practice of many pharmaceutical companies in recent times to augment the collections by purchasing either single compounds from vendors, or by contracting the synthesis of combinatorial libraries of compounds. The singly purchased compounds may have been selected to fill in areas of compound space poorly represented in the compound collections. Combinatorial libraries are typically synthesised around well- performing chemistries with some design based on producing 'diversity' in compound space.
  • a complementary approach, and one that is increasingly preferred, is to screen focused libraries against the target of choice.
  • Focused libraries are becoming of increasing importance in their ability to generate hits capable of rapid expansion in many areas including kinases.
  • Such libraries are slightly more expensive to prepare but have attributes of reliability, reproducibility and provide a considerably higher hit rate: typically 10-100 fold and above compared with random screening. They are, however, very difficult to design and their efficiency relates directly to the amount of effort that has gone into the design.
  • Using these focused libraries it is usually possible to get a number of hits in the low micromolar and below range.
  • Protein kinases constitute approximately 2% of the human genome and are fundamental to many intracellular signalling processes. They form the largest known family of enzymes and act on specific proteins within cells. Through the phosphorylation of specific sites, protein kinases are responsible for the activation or deactivation of various signaling transduction pathways. Abnormalities in the phosphorylation mechanism are a major factor in many disease states including cancer, diabetes and inflammation.
  • the family of focused libraries provided herein is designed to interact with a range of kinase targets.
  • Each library is a defined set of compounds which will enhance the probability of finding a small molecule which will interact with one or more types of protein kinases.
  • Protein crystallography has allowed for the preparation of three-dimensional structures detailing the individual protein sequence alignments of the catalytic domains of many different protein kinases. These can be used to not only identify commonalities in the general structure of protein kinases, but also to ascertain sequences which are unique to the individual kinases.
  • the invention provides a family of 'focused' libraries of compounds which will provide clear leads for ligands which bind to the active site of protein kinase enzymes.
  • focused libraries according to this invention can provide hit rates of typically 1-13% for the requisite predicted protein kinases.
  • the libraries are defined in detail below and are referred to herein as SFK09, SFK10, SFK11, SFK14 and SFK20 wherein SFK represents "soft focus kinase library" and the suffixed numbers identify individual libraries.
  • library' means a group of compounds which are structurally related by virtue of a core chemical structure (or 'scaffold'), but which differ from each other by virtue of permutation of specific substituent groups attached to the scaffold.
  • the core chemical structures are referred to as, for example, PS40, PS81 and PS172 (the scaffolds of SFK09 having general formulae I, II and III respectively) wherein PS represents "pjiarmascape" and the suffixed numbers identify individual scaffolds.
  • PS40, PS81 and PS172 the scaffolds of SFK09 having general formulae I, II and III respectively
  • PS represents "pjiarmascape" and the suffixed numbers identify individual scaffolds.
  • such a library will consist of or comprise a number of compounds, e.g. as many as about 100, about 1000, about 2000, about 3000 or indeed about 10000 compounds.
  • the word 'about' is interpreted to mean plus or minus 20%, more preferably plus or minus 10%, most preferably plus or minus 5%
  • the number of compounds should be sufficient to provide an adequate diversity of related compounds without being so large to be unduly complex or expensive to produce.
  • the substituent may appear in the compounds as shown (i.e. simply covalently bonded to the scaffold) or may be a derivative of the shown chemical formula of the substituent by virtue of the use of a reactive group to couple the substituent to the scaffold.
  • Polymerisation of permitted substituents e.g. diamerisation is intended to be within the scope of the invention.
  • the total number of permutations created by the permitted substituents may be a very large number, far greater in magnitude than the actual number of compounds in the library.
  • the number of possible compounds for any 'virtual' library may well greatly exceed the number of synthesised compounds making up an embodiment of the 'real' library.

Description

COMPOUND LIBRARIES
The present invention relates to compounds capable of binding to the active site of protein kinase enzymes. In particular, a family of libraries of compounds is provided for use in screening programmes against protein kinases as well as the individual compounds for use in hit to lead and lead optimisation projects, and similar stages in the drug discovery process. The invention also provides methods for making compounds and libraries.
As part of the process of discovering drugs or agrochemicals it is customary to screen libraries of compounds against biological targets to discover 'hits' which are then further developed into leads' and subsequently drugs or agrochemicals, by using the techniques of medicinal chemistry. Accordingly the success or not of the drug or agrochemical discovery project is critically dependant on the quality of the hit and this in turn is dictated by the quality of the screening library.
Technological advances have enabled screening on a very large scale, and the screening of hundreds and thousands of compounds at the start of a discovery program is routine. This does, however, entail a significant cost. The hits obtained from such screening efforts are not all of the best quality, and often take a large amount of subsequent time and effort in order to get a good lead. It has been estimated that only about 25% of projects actually get to the lead optimisation stage, and part of the reason for this is the intractability of hits from high throughput screening.
Screening libraries are commonly collections of compounds from several sources. As a result they typically contain compounds synthesised as part of previous projects in the history of a company. With regard to drug discovery, these collections will be drug-like but are likely to be limited in scope and will be directed to certain areas of a project. It has been the common practice of many pharmaceutical companies in recent times to augment the collections by purchasing either single compounds from vendors, or by contracting the synthesis of combinatorial libraries of compounds. The singly purchased compounds may have been selected to fill in areas of compound space poorly represented in the compound collections. Combinatorial libraries are typically synthesised around well- performing chemistries with some design based on producing 'diversity' in compound space.
A complementary approach, and one that is increasingly preferred, is to screen focused libraries against the target of choice. Focused libraries are becoming of increasing importance in their ability to generate hits capable of rapid expansion in many areas including kinases. Such libraries are slightly more expensive to prepare but have attributes of reliability, reproducibility and provide a considerably higher hit rate: typically 10-100 fold and above compared with random screening. They are, however, very difficult to design and their efficiency relates directly to the amount of effort that has gone into the design. Using these focused libraries it is usually possible to get a number of hits in the low micromolar and below range. As there is a defined set of compounds, the potential exists to observe indications of SAR in a chemical series, and to progress the chemistry efficiently.
Protein kinases constitute approximately 2% of the human genome and are fundamental to many intracellular signalling processes. They form the largest known family of enzymes and act on specific proteins within cells. Through the phosphorylation of specific sites, protein kinases are responsible for the activation or deactivation of various signaling transduction pathways. Abnormalities in the phosphorylation mechanism are a major factor in many disease states including cancer, diabetes and inflammation.
In a bid to control these disease states, protein kinases have been the focus of attention and the subject of much research for many years. However, since the development of the first inhibitors back in the early 1980's, there remains a shortage of clinically approved protein kinase inhibitors, with only a limited number of therapeutic agents currently in use. The discovery of safe and selective kinase inhibitors therefore remains highly desirable and is still widely sought after.
The family of focused libraries provided herein is designed to interact with a range of kinase targets. Each library is a defined set of compounds which will enhance the probability of finding a small molecule which will interact with one or more types of protein kinases. Protein crystallography has allowed for the preparation of three-dimensional structures detailing the individual protein sequence alignments of the catalytic domains of many different protein kinases. These can be used to not only identify commonalities in the general structure of protein kinases, but also to ascertain sequences which are unique to the individual kinases.
Advantagously, the invention provides a family of 'focused' libraries of compounds which will provide clear leads for ligands which bind to the active site of protein kinase enzymes. Remarkably, focused libraries according to this invention can provide hit rates of typically 1-13% for the requisite predicted protein kinases. The libraries are defined in detail below and are referred to herein as SFK09, SFK10, SFK11, SFK14 and SFK20 wherein SFK represents "soft focus kinase library" and the suffixed numbers identify individual libraries.
In the context of the present invention, library' means a group of compounds which are structurally related by virtue of a core chemical structure (or 'scaffold'), but which differ from each other by virtue of permutation of specific substituent groups attached to the scaffold. The core chemical structures are referred to as, for example, PS40, PS81 and PS172 (the scaffolds of SFK09 having general formulae I, II and III respectively) wherein PS represents "pjiarmascape" and the suffixed numbers identify individual scaffolds. Generally speaking such a library will consist of or comprise a number of compounds, e.g. as many as about 100, about 1000, about 2000, about 3000 or indeed about 10000 compounds. The word 'about' is interpreted to mean plus or minus 20%, more preferably plus or minus 10%, most preferably plus or minus 5% The number of compounds should be sufficient to provide an adequate diversity of related compounds without being so large to be unduly complex or expensive to produce.
The word 'comprises' is interpreted to mean 'includes among other things' and is not interpreted to mean 'consists of only'.
In the context of the present invention the term 'a set of is interpreted to mean 'a plurality of.
In the context of the present invention the terms 'permitted substituents' and analogous terms are used to refer to defined chemical groups that may be attached to a 'scaffold' to provide permutations of the chemical structure of related compounds.
Where the chemical formulae of permitted substituents are shown in this description and claims, the substituent may appear in the compounds as shown (i.e. simply covalently bonded to the scaffold) or may be a derivative of the shown chemical formula of the substituent by virtue of the use of a reactive group to couple the substituent to the scaffold. Polymerisation of permitted substituents (e.g. diamerisation) is intended to be within the scope of the invention.
It will be appreciated that the total number of permutations created by the permitted substituents may be a very large number, far greater in magnitude than the actual number of compounds in the library. In other words, the number of possible compounds for any 'virtual' library may well greatly exceed the number of synthesised compounds making up an embodiment of the 'real' library. The invention is intended to encompass libraries having all, and a number which is less than all, of the permitted substitutions represented by compounds therein.
It will be appreciated that some specific combinations of permitted substituents may be more or less difficult to synthesise and/or use in a focused library of the invention. This does not detract from the generality of applicability of the invention as described herein. Real libraries have been synthesised from a selected group of permutations/combinations of permitted substituents, taking into consideration factors affecting the intended purpose of the library and its cost and complexity of synthesis.

LIBRARY SFK09
SFK09 is designed to have a broad focus on the tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases that recognise typical mono-and bicyclic heterocyclic ligands for the ATP binding site. The central design of the library is based on novel applications of the 3-amino-5-carba-pyridine, 2- amino-5-carba-pyrazine and 2-amino-5-thia-pyrazine scaffolds.
Each scaffold was docked into the ATP-binding region of a variety of kinases including Zap-70, CDK-2, CDK-4, p38 MAP kinase and FGF-r. PS40 exhibits the characteristic double H-bonding system seen between ATP and the enzyme backbone in all the ATP sites examined and particularly favourable docking modes were observed for the tyrosine kinases. PS81 exhibits a single H-bond between Ala417 of Zap-70 and the pyridine ring-N can form an additional H-bond to the backbone distinct from the more usual "amidine" H-bond, especially in the tyrosine kinases that were examined.
The invention provides a compound library comprising or consisting of a set of structurally related compounds of the general formula (I), (II) and (III):

LIBRARY SFK10
SFKIO is designed to have primary focus on CDK-4, a key member of the cyclin-dependent kinase family (Hanks' C-M-G-C Group I kinases) with a broader secondary focus on CDK-2 and other members of the family. The central design of the library is based on a novel application of the imidazo[l,2-a]pyrazine scaffold.
A homology model of CDK-4 was developed based on the published crystal structures of CDK-6 and CDK-2 and guided by an existing homology model of CDK-4. Good docking was observed for the imidazo[l,2-a]pyrazine scaffold when this was substituted with 3-amino and 5-amino functions, with a characteristic double H-bond being formed between the backbone Val96 of the ATP site of CDK-4 and the 5, ring-6-diaza "amidine" system.
The invention provides a compound library comprising or consisting of a set of structurally related compounds of the general formula (I), (II) and (III):

SFK11 is designed to have primary focus on the FGF receptor-1 kinase, a member of a small group of kinases (Hanks' Group XV kinases) which are fairly typical of the receptor tyrosine kinase family, and a key anti- angiogenesis target. The library has a broader secondary focus on other members of the tyrosine kinase family. The central design of the library is based on a novel application of the imidazo[l,2-a]pyrazine scaffold. Good docking was observed for the imidazo[l,2a]pyrazine scaffold when this was substituted with 3-amino and 5-amino functions, with a characteristic double H-bond being formed between the backbone Ala564 of the ATP site of FGF receptor-1 and the 5, ring-6-diaza "amidine" system.
The invention provides a compound library comprising or consisting of a set of structurally related compounds of the general formula (I), (II) and (III):

LIBRARY SFK14
SFK14 is designed to have a broad focus on the tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases that recognise typical mono-and bicyclic heterocyclic ligands for the ATP binding site. The central scaffold is based on a novel application of the 3-aminopyrazine scaffold bearing substitutents at the 2 and 6 positions. Each scaffold has been docked into the ATP-binding region of a variety of kinases including Zap-70, CDK2, p38 MAP kinase, FGFrl, PKA, Hck and Erk2 and all have shown they are capable of mimicking the characteristic double H-bonding system seen between ATP and the enzyme backbone in protein kinase ATP sites.

SFK20 is designed to have a broad focus on tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases that recognise typical bicyclic heterocyclic ligands for the ATP binding site. The central design of the library is based on novel applications of the imidazopyrazine-2-one scaffold which has been docked into the ATP-binding region of a variety of kinases including CDK2, FGFrl, PKA, Hck and Erk2. The library has been designed to mimic the characteristic double H-bonding system seen between ATP and the protein kinase backbone by utilising the embedded amide motif. Two major docking modes are observed: In mode 1, the amide donor-acceptor pair provides the key backbone interactions (for example, H-bonds to Phe82 and Glu81 in CDK2) : In mode 2, a pyrazine nitrogen acts as acceptor and the amide NH as donor, with a third H-bond possible to the amide CO.
The invention provides a compound library comprising or consisting of a set of structurally related compounds of the general formula (I).
