Description

WO 2010/048314 PCT/US2009/061519 1 SUBSTITUTED PYRAZOLO[1,5-a]PYRIMIDINE COMPOUNDS AS TRK KINASE INHIBITORS [0001] The present invention relates to novel compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, to a process for making the compounds and to the use of the compounds in therapy. More particularly, it relates to certain substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine compounds which exhibit Trk family protein tyrosine kinase inhibition, and which are useful in the treatment of pain, inflammation, cancer, and certain infectious diseases. [0002] The current treatment regimes for pain conditions utilize several classes of compounds. The opioids (such as morphine) have several drawbacks including emetic, constipatory and negative respiratory effects, as well as the potential for addictions. Non steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics (NSAIDs, such as COX-1 or COX-2 types) also have drawbacks including insufficient efficacy in treating severe pain. In addition, COX-1 inhibitors can cause ulcers of the mucosa. Accordingly, there is a continuing need for new and more effective treatments for the relief of pain, especially chronic pain. [0003] Trk's are the high affinity receptor tyrosine kinases activated by a group of soluble growth factors called neurotrophins (NT). The Trk receptor family has three members --TrkA, TrkB and TrkC. Among the neurotrophins are (i) nerve growth factor (NGF) which activates TrkA, (ii) brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and NT-4/5 which activate TrkB and (iii) NT3 which activates TrkC. Trk's are widely expressed in neuronal tissue and are implicated in the maintenance, signaling and survival of neuronal cells (Patapoutian, A. et al., Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2001, 11, 272-280). [0004] Inhibitors of the Trk/neurotrophin pathway have been demonstrated to be effective in numerous pre-clinical animal models of pain. For example, antagonistic NGF and TrkA antibodies (for example, RN-624) have been shown to be efficacious in inflammatory and neuropathic pain animal models and in human clinical trials (Woolf, C.J. et al. (1994) Neuroscience 62,327-331; Zahn, P.K. et al. (2004) J. Pain 5, 157-163; McMahon, S. B. et al., (1995) Nat. Med. 1, 774-780; Ma, Q. P. and Woolf, C. J. (1997) Neuroreport 8, 807 810; Shelton, D. L. et al. (2005) Pain 116, 8-16; Delafoy, L. et al. (2003) Pain 105, 489 497; Lamb, K. et al. (2003) Neurogastroenterol. Motil. 15, 355-361; Jaggar, S. I. et al. (1999) Br. J. Anaesth. 83, 442-448). Additionally, recent literature indicates after inflammation, BDNF levels and TrkB signaling is increased in the dorsal root ganglion (Cho, L. et al. Brain Research 1997, 749, 358) and several studies have show antibodies that WO 2010/048314 PCT/US2009/061519 2 decrease signaling through the BDNF/TrkB pathway inhibit neuronal hypersensitization and the associated pain (Chang-Qi, L et al. Molecular Pain 2008, 4:27). [00051 In addition, it has been shown that tumor cell sand tumor invading macrophages directly stimulates TrkA located on peripheral pain fibers. Using various tumor models in both mice and rats it was demonstrated that neutralizing NGF with a monoclonal antibody inhibits cancer related pain to a degree similar or superior to the highest tolerated dose of morphine. In addition, activation of the BDNF/TrkB pathway has been implicated in numerous studies as a modulator of various types of pain including inflammatory pain (Matayoshi, S., J. Physiol. 2005, 569:685-95), neuropathic pain (Thompson, S.W., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1999, 96:7714-18) and surgical pain (Li, C.-Q. et al., Molecular Pain, 2008, 4(28), 1-11). Because TrkA and TrkB kinases may serve as a mediator of NGF driven biological responses, inhibitors of TrkA and/or other Trk kinases may provide an effective treatment for chronic pain states. [0006] Recent literature has also shown that overexpression, activation, amplification and/or mutation of Trk's are associated with many cancers including neuroblastoma (Brodeur, G. M., Nat. Rev. Cancer 2003, 3, 203-216), ovarian cancer (Davidson. B., et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2003, 9, 2248-2259), breast cancer (Kruettgen et al, Brain Pathology 2006, 16: 304 310), prostate cancer (Dionne et al, Clin. Cancer Res. 1998, 4(8): 1887-1898), pancreatic cancer (Dang et al, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2006, 21(5): 850-858), multiple myeloma (Hu et al, Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics 2007, 178: 1-10), astrocytoma amd medulloblastoma (Kruettgen et al, Brain Pathology 2006, 16: 304-310) glioma (Hansen et al, Journal of Neurochemistry 2007, 103: 259-275), melanoma (Truzzi et al, Journal of Investigative Dermatology 2008, 128(8): 2031-2040, thyroid carcinoma (Brzezianska et al, Neuroendocrinology Letters 2007, 28(3), 221-229.), lung adenocarcinoma (Perez-Pinera et al, Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry 2007, 295(1&2), 19-26), large cell neuroendocrine tumors (Marchetti et al, Human Mutation 2008, 29(5), 609-616), and colorectal cancer (Bardelli, A., Science 2003, 300, 949). In preclinical models of cancer, Trk inhibitors are efficacious in both inhibiting tumor growth and stopping tumor metastasis. In particular, non-selective small molecule inhibitors of Trk A, B and C and Trk/Fc chimeras were efficacious in both inhibiting tumor growth and stopping tumor metastasis (Nakagawara, A. (2001) Cancer Letters 169:107-114; Meyer, J. et al. (2007) Leukemia, 1 10; Pierottia, M.A. and Greco A., (2006) Cancer Letters 232:90-98; Eric Adriaenssens, E. et al. Cancer Res (2008) 68:(2) 346-351) (Truzzi et al, Journal of Investigative Dermatology WO 2010/048314 PCT/US2009/061519 3 2008, 128(8): 2031-2040. Therefore, an inhibitor of the Trk family of kinases is expected to have utility in the treatment of cancer. [00071 In addition, inhibition of the neurotrophin/Trk pathway has been shown to be effective in treatment of pre-clinical models of inflammatory diseases. For example, inhibition of the neurotrophin/Trk pathway has been implicated in preclinical models of inflammatory lung diseases including asthma (Freund-Michel, V; Frossard, N.; Pharmacology & Therapeutics (2008), 117(1), 52-76), interstitial cystitis (Hu Vivian Y; et. al. The Journal of Urology (2005), 173(3), 1016-21), inflammatory bowel diseases including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (Di Mola, F. F, et. al., Gut (2000), 46(5), 670-678) and inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (Dou, Y.-C.; et. al. Archives of Dermatological Research (2006), 298(1), 31-37), eczema and psoriasis (Raychaudhuri, S. P.; et. al. Journal of Investigative Dermatology (2004), 122(3), 812-819). [0008] The neurotrophin/Trk pathway, particularly BDNF/TrkB, has also been implicated in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease (Sohrabji, Farida; Lewis, Danielle K. Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology (2006), 27(4), 404-414). Modulation of the neutrophin/Trk pathway may have utility in treatment of these and related diseases. [0009] The TrkA receptor is also thought to be critical to the disease process in the infection of the parasitic infection of Typanosoma cruzi (Chagas disease) in human hosts (de Melo-Jorge, M. et al. Cell Host & Microbe (2007), 1(4), 251-261). Thus, TrkA inhibition my have utility in treating Chagas disease and related protozoan infections. [0010] Trk inhibitors may also find use in treating disease related to an imbalance of the regulation of bone remodeling, such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and bone metastases. Bone metastases are a frequent complication of cancer, occurring in up to 70 percent of patients with advanced breast or prostate cancer(1) and in approximately 15 to 30 percent of patients with carcinoma of the lung, colon, stomach, bladder, uterus, rectum, thyroid, or kidney. Osteolytic metastases can cause severe pain, pathologic fractures, life threatening hypercalcemia, spinal cord compression, and other nerve-compression syndromes. For these reasons, bone metastasis is a serious and costly complication of cancer. Therefore, agents that can induce apoptosis of proliferating osteoblasts would be highly advantageous. Expression of TrkA and TrkC receptors has been observed in the bone forming area in mouse models of bone fracture (K. Asaumi, et al., Bone (2000) 26(6) 625 633). In addition, localization of NGF was observed in almost all bone forming cells (K.

WO 2010/048314 PCT/US2009/061519 4 Asaumi, et al.). Recently, it was demonstrated that a pan-Trk inhibitor inhibits the tyrosine signaling activated by neurotrophins binding to all three of the Trk receptors in human hFOB osteoblasts (J. Pinski, et al., (2002) 62, 986-989). These data support the rationale for the use of Trk inhibitors for the treatment of bone remodeling diseases, such as bone metastases in cancer patients. [0011] Several classes of small molecule inhibitors of Trk kinases said to be useful for treating pain or cancer are known (Expert Opin. Ther. Patents (2009) 19(3)). [0012] International Patent Application Publications WO 2006/115452 and WO 2006/087538 describe several classes of small molecules said to be inhibitors or Trk kinases which could be useful for treating pain or cancer. [00131 Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine compounds are known. For example, International Patent Application Publication WO 2008/037477 discloses pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine compounds bearing an alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic group at the 3-position. These compounds are asserted to be P13K and/or mTOR Lipid Kinase inhibitors. [0014] International Patent Application Publication WO 2008/058126 discloses pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine compounds bearing a phenyl group at the 3-position. These compounds are asserted to be Pim-kinase inhibitors. [00151 U.S. Publication US 2006/0094699 discloses pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine compounds bearing a -C(=O)NH-phenyl, -C(=O)(4-methylpiperidinyl) or -C(=O)NMe(CH 2 -trimethylpyrazolyl) group at the 3-position for use in combination therapy with a glucocorticoid receptor agonist. [0016] It has now been found that certain pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine compounds bearing an aryl or heteroaryl-substituted heterocyclic group at the 5-position and a group having the formula NR 1

C(=O)R

2 at the 3-position, wherein R 1 and R 2 are as defined herein, are inhibitors of Trk kinases, in particular inhibitors of TrkA and/or TrkB, which are useful for treating disorders and diseases which can be treated by inhibiting TrkA and/or TrkB kinases, such as pain, including chronic and acute pain, or cancer. Certain compounds which are dual inhibitors of TrkA and TrkB may be useful in the treatment of multiple types of pain including inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, surgical pain, and pain associated with cancer, surgery and bone fracture. Selectivity for TrkA and/or TrkB is particularly desirable in compounds for use in treating pain. In addition, compounds of the invention may be useful for treating cancer, inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases and certain infectious diseases.

[00241] Compounds of Formula I are useful for treating chronic and acute pain, including pain associated with cancer, surgery, and bone fracture. Certain compounds which are inhibitors of TrkA and/or TrkB may be useful in the treatment of multiple types of pain including inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, and pain associated with cancer, surgery, and bone fracture. [00242] Compounds of Formula I are also useful for treating cancers including neuroblastoma, ovarian, pancreatic and colorectal cancer. [00243] Compounds of Formula I are also useful for treating inflammation and certain infectious diseases. [00244] In addition, compounds of Formula I may also be used to treat interstitial cystitis (IC), painful bladder syndrome (PBS), urinary incontinence, asthma, anorexia, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. [002451 Compounds of Formula I may also be used to treat demyelination and dysmyelination by promoting myelination, neuronal survival, and oligodendrocyte differentiation via blocking Sp35-TrkA interaction. [00246] Compounds of Formula I which are dual inhibitors of TrkA and TrkB may be useful in the treatment of multiple types of pain including inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, surgical pain and pain associated with cancer.

WO 2010/048314 PCT/US2009/061519 31 [002471 Compounds of Formula I may be of therapeutic value for the useful in the treatment of bone-related diseases (such as those involving bone resorption). Examples of bone-related diseases include metastatic bone disease, treatment-induced bone loss, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Paget's disease, and periodontal disease. The osteoporosis may be attributed to (1) menopause in women, (2) aging in men or women, (3) suboptimal bone growth during childhood and adolescence that resulted in failure to reach peak bone mass, and/or (4) bone loss secondary to other disease conditions, eating disorders, medications and/or medical treatments. [00248] Other osteolytic diseases that can be treated according to the present invention are more localized. A particular example is metastatic tumor-induced osteolysis. In this condition, bone cancers or bone metastases induce localized osteolysis that causes pain, bone weakness and fractures. Such localized osteolysis also permits tumors to grow larger by creating more space for them in the bone and releasing growth factors from the bone matrix. Cancers presently known to cause tumor-induced osteolysis include hematological malignancies (e.g., myeloma and lymphoma) and solid tumors (e.g., breast, prostate, lung, renal and thyroid), all of which the present invention contemplates treating. [00249] As used herein, the term treatment includes prophylaxis as well as treatment of an existing condition. [002501 Accordingly, another aspect of this invention provides a method of treating diseases or medical conditions in a mammal, wherein said disease or condition is treatable with an inhibitor of TrkA and/or TrkB, comprising administering to said mammal one or more compounds of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in an amount effective to treat or prevent said disorder. In a particular embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating pain, cancer, inflammation, neurodegenerative disease or Typanosoma cruzi infection in a mammal, which comprises administering to said mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. [002511 In another embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating osteolytic disease in a mammal, which comprises administering to said mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. [00252] The compounds of the present invention can be used in combination with one or more additional drugs that work by the same or a different mechanism of action. Such conjoint treatment may be achieved by way of the simultaneous, sequential or separate WO 2010/048314 PCT/US2009/061519 32 administration of the individual components of the treatment. Examples include anti inflammatory compounds, steroids (e.g., dexamethasone, cortisone and fluticasone), analgesics such as NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, indomethacin, and ketoprofen), and opioids (such as morphine), and chemotherapeutic agents. [00253] In the field of medical oncology it is normal practice to use a combination of different forms of treatment to treat each patient with cancer. In medical oncology the other component(s) of such conjoint treatment in addition to compositions of the present invention may be, for example, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, signal transduction inhibitors and/or monoclonoal antibodies. [00254] Accordingly, the compounds of Formula I may be administered in combination with one or more agents selected from mitotic inhibitors, alkylating agents, anti metabolites, antisense DNA or RNA, intercalating antibiotics, growth factor inhibitors, signal transduction inhibitors, cell cycle inhibitors, enzyme inhibitors, retinoid receptor modulators, proteasome inhibitors, topoisomerase inhibitors, biological response modifiers, anti hormones, angiogenesis inhibitors, cytostatic agents anti-androgens, targeted antibodies, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, and prenyl-protein transferase inhibitors. [002551 The phrase "effective amount" means an amount of compound that, when administered to a mammal in need of such treatment, is sufficient to (i) treat or prevent a particular disease, condition, or disorder which can be treated with an inhibitor of TrkA and/or TrkB, (ii) attenuate, ameliorate, or eliminate one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder, or (iii) prevent or delay the onset of one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder described herein. [00256] The amount of a compound of Formula I that will correspond to such an amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound, disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., weight) of the mammal in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art. [002571 As used herein, the term "mammal" refers to a warm-blooded animal that has or is at risk of developing a disease described herein and includes, but is not limited to, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, rats, mice, hamsters, and primates, including humans. [00258] Compounds of the invention may be administered by any convenient route, e.g. into the gastrointestinal tract (e.g. rectally or orally), the nose, lungs, musculature or vasculature, or transdermally or dermally. Compounds may be administered in any convenient administrative form, e.g. tablets, powders, capsules, solutions, dispersions, WO 2010/048314 PCT/US2009/061519 33 suspensions, syrups, sprays, suppositories, gels, emulsions, patches etc. Such compositions may contain components conventional in pharmaceutical preparations, e.g. diluents, carriers, pH modifiers, sweeteners, bulking agents, and further active agents. If parenteral administration is desired, the compositions will be sterile and in a solution or suspension form suitable for injection or infusion. Such compositions form a further aspect of the invention. [002591 According to another aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition, which comprises a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as defined hereinabove. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition includes the compound of Formula I together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.

Enzyme (either TrkA or TrkB from Invitrogen Corp.) and test compound (various concentrations) were incubated for 10 minutes at ambient temperature in a 384-well white polypropylene plate (Nunc catalog# 267462). Omnia Tyr Peptide #4 (for TrkA) or #5 (for TrkB), as well as ATP, were then added to the plate. Final concentrations were as follows: 20 nM enzyme, 500 gM of ATP for TrkA assay or 1 mM ATP for TrkB assay, 10 gM peptide substrate. The assay buffer consisted of 25 mM MOPS pH 7.5, 0.005% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 5 mM MgCl 2 . The production of phosphorylated peptide was monitored continuously for 70 minutes using a Molecular Devices FlexStation 11384 microplate reader (excitation = 360 nm; emission = 485 nm). Initial rates were calculated from the progress curves. IC 50 values were then calculated from these rates using either a 4 or 5-parameter logistic curve fit.

4 (2.03 g, 7.0 mmol) in one portion. After stirring overnight at ambient temperature, 10.5 mL of NH 4 0H solution was added and the reaction was stirred for another hour. The resulting slurry was filtered through WO 2010/048314 PCT/US2009/061519 45 CELITE and washed with Et 2 0 (1 L). The filtrate was washed with HCl (0.5 L, IM aq.) and brine. The organic layer was filtered and concentrated, and the crude product was purified by silica column chromatography, eluting with 5-10% EtOAc/hexanes to give product (R)-tert butyl 2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate as yellow oil (23.9 g, 72% yield). [003791 Step B: Preparation of (R)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)yrrolidine: To (R)-tert butyl 2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (23.9 g, 84.4 mmol) was added 56.2 mL 4N HCl (dioxane). After stirring at ambient temperature for 2 hours, 200 mL of ether was added and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. The resulting slurry was filtered, yielding the hydrochloride salt of the product as a white solid (17.2 g). To obtain the free base, the HCl salt product was dispersed in a mixture of EtOAc (200 mL) and NaOH solution (100 mL, 2 N aq.) The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were filtered and concentrated to give the desired product as a liquid (13.2g, 85% yield). [00380] Step C: Determination of Enantiomeric Excess (ee%) of (R)-2-(2,5 difluorophenyl)yrrolidine: To an ethanol solution of (R)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidine was added excess N-(2,4-dinitro-5-fluorophenyl)-L-alanine amide (FDAA, Marfey's reagent). The mixture was heated to reflux for approximately two minutes. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with acetonitrile and injected onto HPLC (YMC ODS-AQ 4.6 x 50 mm 3 pm 120A column; mobile phase: 5-95% solvent B in A; solvent A: H 2 0/ 1% IPA/ 10 mM ammonium acetate, and solvent B: ACN/1% IPA/10 mM ammonium acetate; flow rate: 2 mL/min) to determine the enantiomeric excess of the product by calculating the peak areas of the two diastereomeric derivatives formed. A 1:1 racemic sample was prepared according the same procedure described herein, replacing (R) 2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidine with (rac)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidine. The ee% of the product obtained as described above was determined to be > 93%. Preparation B N N
