NEW PYRIDO-THIOPYRANOINDAZOLES WITH ANTI-TUMOR ACTIVITY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the invention This invention is directed to 2H-pyrido[3',2':5,6]thiopyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazoles,2H-pyrido[4',3':5,6]thiopyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazoles, 2H-pyrido[3'4':5,6]thiopyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazoles and 2H-pyrido[2',3':5,6]thiopyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazoles substituted in the positions 2 and 5.
These compounds have been shown to have antitumor activity.
Backqround Certain 1,4-bis[(aminoalkyl)amino]anthracene-9,10-diones have been re~o,led lS which show antitumor activity in clinical trials. Of particular interest has been ameta"l,ù"e, 1,4-bis[(2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethyl)amino]anthracene-9,10-dione and mitoxar,l,o,1e, 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-bis[(2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethyl)amino]anthracene-9,10-dione [Zee-Cheng et al., J
Med. Chem., 21, 291-4 (1978); Cheng et al., UProgress in Medicinal ChemistryD, Ellis, G.P. and West, G.B., eds.; Elsevier: Amsterdam, 1983, vol. 20, pp. 83 andreferences cited therein]. Miloxa"L,o"e is a broad spectrum oncolytic agent, whose activity is similar to that of the anthracycline antibiotic doxorubicin.
Clinical trials have demonstrated that mitoxantrone has particularly promising activity in the treatment of advanced breast cancer, acute leukemia and Iy",pho",a [Legha, Druqs of Todav, 20, 629 (1984)]. Although animal studies have demonstrated a diminished cardiotoxicity in comparison to doxorubicin, some clinical cardiotoxicity has been observed also with mitoxantrone, mostly inpatients previously treated with doxorubicin [R. Stuart Harris et al., Lancet, 219, (1984) and references cited therein].
Ametanlru, ,e has been reported to be, in animals, about 1 0-fold less potent and cardiotoxic than mitoxantrone. Because a delayed toxicity is observed only with mitoxantrone after administration of the two drugs by the i.p. route to non-tumor bearing rats at equieffective antitumor dosages, it is suggested that the presence of the 5,8-dihydroxy substitution in miloxa,1Lrc,"e might be implicated in the delayed deaths [Corbett et al. Cancer Chemother. F: I ,a""acol. 6 161 (1981)].
In ~d~lition, both mitoka,ll,une and ar"ela"l,o~,e have a remarkable myelodepressive toxicity and both co",pounds show cross-resislar,ce to cell 5 histotypes developing resistance against doxorubicin mediated by overe,~,.ession of glycoprolein P. Such a resi~lance which is named multidrug resistance (MDR) involves a number of antitumor anliL ic,lics among which ar"s~. ine and podophyllotoxinic In addition both mitox~nl.ui ,e and a,,,eta,,l,ùne have a remarkable myelodepressive toxicity and both derivatives, 10 and it is one of the main reasons for therapeutic failures in the treatment of solid tumors with said antibiotics.
In an alle,n~t to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks some cl"ur.,opl)ore modified anll .racenediones have been prepared. For example E. P. Patent Application 103.381 discloses 2-aminoalkyl-5-aminoalkylamino sl ~hstitut~d lS anthra[1 9-cd]pyrazol-6(2H)-ones (a"ll ,rapyrazoles) which are claimed to have antitumor activity. The antitumor activity of said compounds in a number of preclinical models has been reported by H.D. Hollis Showalter et al. [J. Med.
Chem. 30 121 -131 (1987)]. However a"LI " ~pyrazoles are not devoid of toxic side effects with severe leukopenia (W.H.O. grade 3 and 4) and neutropenia 20 (W.H.O. grade 4) being dose limiting in phase I and phase ll clinical trials with the ar,ll)ra~yrazole Cl-941 [I.E. Smith et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 9 2141-2147 (1991)]. Moreover a marked nephrotoxicity is associated with Cl-941 treatment in the rat [D. Campling and M.E.C. Robbins NePhrotoxicitY Peter H. Dekker Bach editor pp. 345-352 (1991) New York; see Chemical Abstract 116: 294n 25 (1992)] and these authors suggest that renal injury may be a clinical problemwith a,lllua,oyrazole therapy. In addition recent reports rDruqs of the Future 17 725 (1992); Judson l.R. et al. Proc. Amer. Assoc. Cancer Res. 32 abstr. 1059 (1991)] indicate that the anthrapyrazole Cl-941 induces irreversible cardiotoxicity in humans although no symptoms of cardiac failure or acute 30 cardiac events have been reported.
Furthermore W094/06795 (31.03.94) describes aza-a, ltl ,rapyrazole derivatives which are endowed with antitumor activity.

_ CA 02226310 1998-01-0~

In the alle"~ to reduce the radical formation "in vivo" by elimi.I~ling the "quinonoid" structure, benzothiopyranoindazoles have been prepared [H.D.
Hollis Showalter et al., J. Med. Chem.. 31, 1527-1539 (1988)]. In these compounds a carbonyl group at C~ position has been replaced by a sulphur 5 atom. A compound of this series, Cl-958, has been chosen for development toward ciinical trials.
However, the search for newer active analogues is still highly desirable.
We have now discovered that the introduction of one nitrogen atom in the positions 7, 8, 9 or 10 of the above mentioned benzothiopyranoinrl~ol~
provides 2H-pyrido[3',2':~,6]thiopyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazoles, 2H-pyrido[4',3':5,6~thiopyrano~4,3,2-cd]indazoles, 2H-pyrido[3'4':5,6]thiopyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazoles and 2H-pyrido[2',3':5,6]thiopyrano[4,3,2-cd]indazoles substituted in the positions 2 and 5, which have showed a marked antitumor activity.

The removal of protecting groups optionally present gives the compounds of formula (I) in which D is a nitro group.
Alternatively, said intermediate (Il) is subjected to reduction of the nitro group to give the intermediate of formula (lla):

Z~T~l (lla) N N~

which is then converted into the compounds of formula (I) in which D is an amino group by removal of the protecting groups optionally present.

CA 02226310 1998-01-0~

Allerl ,aLively, the intermediate (lla) is converted into the compounds of formula (I) in which D is a -NH-A group and A has the meanings above defined, with the e,c~,c lion of hyd(c,yen and -CO-CH2-NR2R3, by co"-le, Isdlio n of the amino group with a reactant of formula (V):
t L-A' (V) in which A' has the same meanings as A is defined in formula (I) or A' is a group that can be converted into A by removal of protective groups for the primary or 10 secondary amines or hydroxy groups optionally present in A' and L is an atom selected in the group of chlorine, bromine and iodine or is a -O-Tosyl group, and sl ~hsequent removal of protective groups optionally present on the side chains A' and B'.
Aller. ,dli~ely, A' is a group of formula -CO-A", in which on its turn A" is selecte~l in the group consisting of C1-Cg alkyl; C,-Cg alkyl having one or two s~ 'hstitl ~ents selected from the group consisting of OR1 and -NR2R3; C1-Cg alkyl interrupted by one or two oxygen atoms or by one -NR4- group, and said C1-Cg alkyl is oplio. .ally substituted by one or two hydroxy (OH) or -NR2R3 groups, and in which the hydroxy or the amine group can optionally be protected with 20 conventional protective groups. In this case, L is a OH group, a halogen atom(chlorine, bromine or iodine) or a suitable leaving group well known to the skilled artisan. Such a reaction, followed by the removal of the protecting groups optionally present, gives the compounds of formula (I) in which A is a -CO-CH2-NR2R3group. They on their turn give the other compounds of formula (I) by 2s red~ ~ction of the amidic moiety to amine.
~, olecti~/e groups for the primary and/or secondary amines optionally present in A' and/or B' which can advantageously be used for the preparation of co",pounds of formula (I) are represented by (C1-C3)acyl derivatives (~,rerer~bly acetyl derivatives), (C1-C4)alkoxycarbonyl derivatives (preferably tert-30 butoxycarbonyl derivatives) and by (C7-C10)aralkyloxycarbonyl derivatives (prerer~bly benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives).
The rea~;Lioi. of compounds (111) with the hydrazines (IV) can be performed by reacting compounds (111) with a stoichiometric amount of hydrazines (IV) or an CA 022263l0 l998-Ol-0~

excess of hydrazines (IV). The reaction is usually performed in an inert solventsuch as methylene chloride, chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, dimethoxyelht~"e,tetrahydrofuran, di,nethylsulfoxide, dimeth~,lrur,,,ta,,,ide, pyridine, picoline and mixtures thereof, or if it is desired, using compound (IV) itself as the solvent, 5 optionally in the presence of an inorganic base such as an alkaline or alkaline-earth carbonate or hydrogen carbonate or an organic base such as a trialkylamine, at a temperature from -20~C to the reflux temperature of the solvent. P, ererably, the reaction is carried out in a solvent such as di",~:ll"~lformamide, pyridine, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylsulfoxide or N,N,N',N'-o tetramethylethylenediamine, using 1 to 10 equivalents of compound (IV) for 1equivalent of compound (Ill) and working at a temperature ranging from 5~C to 50~C.
If necess~ry, the removal of the protective group for the primary and/or secondary amino functions is carried out following the procedures well known to 15 those skilled in the art. Useful teachings can be found in Green, T.W., Wuts,P.G.M., "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", second Edition, John Wiley &
Sons, 1991.
For example, the removal of the N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl) protective group can be performed by treatment of the compound with an excess of anhydrous or 20 aqueous hydrochloric acid in a solvent such as a (C,-C4)alkanol, dichloromethane, chloroform or mixtures thereof, at a temperature of 0~C to the reflux temperature of the solvent and for a time ranging from several minutes toa few hours. Preferably the reaction is performed in ethanol or in chloroform using from 10 to 20 molar equivalents of anhydrous hydrochloric acid at a 25 temperature of from 20~C to 50~C, and is generally complete in four hours.
The reaction of reduction of the nitro group of compounds (Il) to give compounds (lla) is performed by catalytic hydrogenation, treating in hydrogen t-~LIIIospl ,ere a compound (Il), in a suitable solvent such as glacial acetic acid, an alkanol such as methanol or ethanol, an ether such as 1,4-dioxane, 30 tetrahydrofuran or a solvent such as methylene chloride or chloroform, in thepresence of catalytic amounts (from 0.1 to 0.3 equivalents) of a catalyst such as 10% palladium on carbon, Nickel Raney or 10% platinum on carbon and at a pressure of from atmospheric pressure to 100 psi.

CA 02226310 1998-01-0~

P,ererably, the reaction is carried out in glacial acetic acid, using 10% p~ m on carbon as a catalyst and at a pressure of about 70 psi.
Alle" ,dLi~ely, the reduction of the nitro group of compounds (Il) to give co""~ounds (lla) may be pe, rO",.ed following other methods known in the art, s such as the use of FeSO4 in basic conditions (allllllonia or sodium hydluxi.le) or the use of metals or salts thereof, optionally in acidic co, Idiliol ,s. Suitable examples of such reducing agents are SnCI2, SnCI2 in the presence of hydrochloric acid or Zn in the presence of hydrochloric acid.
The alkylation of intermedi~tes (lla) with intermedi~t~s of formula L-A' to givel0 the compounds of formula (I) is performed by reacting the illler",ediate (lla) with a molar excess of the reactant of formula (V) in an inert solvent such as be"~ene, toluene, chlorobenzene and the like, or an alcohol such as isopropanol or in a nitrile such as acetonitrile, and in the presence of an inorganic base such as an alkaline or alkaline-earth carbonate or 15 hydrogencarbonate or an organic base such as trialkylamine. Preferably, the reaction is carried out in an aro",aLic solvent such as toluene, in the presence of potassium carbonate and at a temperature ranging from room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent.
The acylation reaction of intermediates (lla) with compounds of formula L-CO-A"
20 iS usually pelru""ed, when L is a OH group, in the presence of a cGndensin agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and the like, at a temperature ranging from -1 0~C to room temperature and in an inert solvent such as an ether (tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether and the like).
The redl ~ction of amidic moiety into amine can be preferentially performed in an 25 inert solvent such as toluene or benzene, at a temperature ranging from room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent and in the presence of a reducing agent such as Red-AI, LiAlH4 or other suitable hydrides.
The intermediates (Ill) can be prepared by cyclization of the compounds of formula (Vl):

CA 02226310 1998-01-0~

Z T3~2H ~l (Vl) in which X, Y, Z, T and U are as above defined.
Said reaction can be performed using different methods known in the art, such 5 as for example:
i) transforming the carboxylic acid moiety into an acyl chloride by reaction with thionyl chloride, for example, and subsequently performing a Friedel-Craft reaction in the presence of a Lewis acid such as alluminum trichloride, in a suitable solvent such nitrobenzene and at a temperature ranging from -1 0~C to o 50~C;
ii) cyclizing the compounds (Vl) in the presence of fuming sulfuric acid (10-30% sulfur trioxide), at a temperature ranging from room temperature to 1 50~C;
iii) cyclizing the compounds (Vl) in the presence of polyphosphoric acid silyl ester (PPSE) and of phosphorus pentoxide, at a temperature ranging from 50~C
to 210~C.
The compounds of formula (Vl) can be obtained starting from the compounds of formula (Vlll):

z~T CO2H

CA 022263l0 l998-Ol-0~

H'S~J (Vll) in which U is as above defined.
When X or Z are nitrogen, then Q is prererentially chlorine; when Y or T are 5 nitrogen, Q is preferentially a -N2+CI- group.
When Q is chlorine, the reaction is preferentially performed in a suitable solvent such as a ketone (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and the like) and at a temperature ranging from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent.
When Q is a -N2+CI- group, the compounds (Vlll) are prepared ain situ", following lO the methods known in the art, by reaction of the amine derivatives (IX):

z~T~C02H

~X NH2 with sodium nitrite in the presence of hydrochloric acid at a temperature ran~in~
15 from -10~C to 10~C. The compounds (Vlll) so prepared are then reacted withoutisolation with the compounds (Vll) at a temperature ranging from 0~C to 70~C, oblai"in~ the compounds of formula (Vl).
Alternatively, compounds (Vlll) in which Q is a -N2+CI- can be reacted without isolation with equimolar amounts of O-ethylxanthic acid, potassium salt. The 20 resulting interme~ es give compounds (Vl) by treatment with sodium elhoxide in ethanol and subsequently with 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene.
The con,pounds of formula (Vlll) when Q is a chlorine atom or the con,pounds of formula (IX) are commercial product or can be prepared starting from commercial product following methods known in the art, such as for example 25 those described in:

BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF THE COMPOUNDS OF THE INVENTION
The evaluation of the biological activity for the compounds of this invention was s performed ~in vitro" and uin vivo" following the protocols developed by the U.S.
National Cancer Institute.
The evaluation of the uin vitro" cytotoxic activity of the co"lpounds of the invention was performed using the following cell lines: a murine sarcon~a (S-180) and its subline expressing multidrug resistance (S-180/A-10), a leukemia (L1210), a human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (LoVo) isolated from a metaslalic nodule and its subline expressing multidrug resistance. This latter subline is resistant to a number of antitumor agents, among which are doxorubicin, VP-16 and vi"c, i~line. This subline (named LoVo/DX) shows red~ ~ced accumulation of doxorubicin and overexpression of a protein (Grandi, M., Geroni, C., Giuliani, F.C., British J. Cancer, (1986), 54, 515). The compounds were tested according to the MTT assay (Mosman, T. "Rapid Colorimetric Assay for Cellular Growth and Survival: Application to Proliferation and Cytotoxicity Assay", J. Immunol. Methods, (1983), 65, 55~3; Green, L.M., "Rapid Colorimetric Assay for Cell Viability; Application to the Quantitation ofC~loloxic and Growth Inhibitory Lymphokines", J. Immunol. Methods, (1984), 70, 257-268) in cor"p~rison with mitoxd, lll u, ,e and doxorubicin.
The ~I ,a" "acological data for some representative compounds of the present invention are reported in Tables ll and lll. A co",parison with the prior art compound Cl941 and with doxorubicin and mitoxantrone is also provided in Table ll. The columns headed L1210, S180 LoVo and LoVo/Dx contain the IC50 values against said tumor cell lines, as above described.
In general, represer!lali~/e compounds of this invention exhibited a high cytotoxicity in all the cell lines tested. When mitoxantrone was tested in the LoVo/DX cell line, a resistance index Rl (defined as the ratio of the ICso for the resistance cell line to the IC50for the sensitive cell line) as high as 22.5 wasfound, showing that this subiine does have an acquired resistance to mitoxantrone. On the other hand, representative compounds of this invention, when tested in the same resistant subline, show no cross resistance with CA 022263l0 l998-Ol-0~

~iLuxd~ u~ ~e. The uin vitro" evaluation of representative compounds of this invention suggests that they are able to retain a high activity also in the resistant cell line, while the prior art compound C1-941 loses completely its activity.
Studies of the biological activity "in vivon of represe~ Li~e compounds of the invention were performed using the P388 murine leukemia model. P388 murine Ieukemia cells were intravenously (iv) i"j~cted in CD2F1 mice. Tredl",enl was initiated ap~l oxi")dlely 24 hours after tumor transpla,)L~liot) and dos~ges of the drug were administered iv (P388 iv/iv) according to preestablished prul(,cols, usually at 3-day intervals. The studies were done over a 60-day period and the o date of death for each animal was recorded. The % T/C was deler" ,ined usingthe mean survival time (MST) for each group accordil lg to the formula % T/C = [~MST treated) / (MST control)] x 100 Representative compounds of this invention were able to increase the survival time of treated animals, leading to high % T/C values at well tolerated d os~ges.
Since represenlative compounds of this invention show good results aga;. Isl this significant"in vivo" model of murine P388 leukemia, which is considered to be predictive of antitumor activity in humans, the compounds disclosed herein are expected to be operative against human leukemias and solid tumors sensitive to treatment with antitumor antibiotics.
The compounds of the invention may therefore be used as active ingredients of therapeutic co",posilions to induce regression and/or palliation of cancers in mammals when administered in amounts ranging from about 1 mg to about 0.4 9 per kilogram of body weight. A prefe, l~d dosage regimen would be from about 1 mg to about 50 mg per kilogram of body weight per day. Unit dosage may be employed so that from about 70 mg to about 3.5 9 of the active compound for a subject of about 70 kg of body weight are administered in a 24-hour period. The dosage may be adjusted to be compatible to other treatment regimens, such as radiation therapy.
The pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of tablets, capsules, gel capsules, suppositories, Iyophilized powders and solutions for intravenous adminislralion.
