Definitions

  • the subject invention relates to pyrazole derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such derivatives and methods of using such derivatives to treat abnormal cell growth and certain diseases and conditions of the central nervous system.
  • the compounds of the present invention act as inhibitors of cyciin-dependent protein kinase enzymes cdk5 (cyciin-dependent protein kinase 5) and cdk2 (cyciin-dependent protein kinase 2).
  • the compounds of the present invention also are inhibitors of the enzyme GSK-3 (glygocen synthase kinase-3) enzyme.
  • cdk5 serine/threonine kinase cdk5 along with its cofactor p25 (or the longer cofactor, p35) has been linked to neurodegenerative disorders, and inhibitors of cdk5/p25 (or cdk5/p35) are therefore useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, or Huntington's disease.
  • Treatment of such neurodegenerative disorders using cdk5 inhibitors is supported by the finding that cdk5 is involved in the phosphorylation of tau protein (J. Biochem, 117, 741-749 (1995)).
  • cdk5 also phosphorylates Dopamine and Cyclic AMP-Regulated Phosphorprotein (DARPP-32) at threonine 75 and is thus indicated in having a role in dopaminergic neurotransmission (Nature, 402, 669-671 (1999)).
  • DARPP-32 Cyclic AMP-Regulated Phosphorprotein
  • the serine/threonine kinase cdk2 is essential for normal cell cycling and plays a critical role in disorders arising from abnormal cell cycling, a common characteristic of many oncological disorders. Inhibitors of cdk2 are therefore useful for the treatment of various types of cancer and other diseases or conditions related to abnormal cell growth (Meijer, et al., Properties and Potential-applications of Chemical Inhibitors of Cyciin-dependent Kinsases, Pharmacology & therapeutics, 82 (2-3), 279-284 (1999); Sausville, et al., Cyciin-dependent Kinases: Initial Approaches to Exploit a Novel Therapeutic Target, Pharmacology & therapeutics 82 (2-3) 285-292 (1999)).
  • GSK-3 is a serine/threonine protein kinase. It is one of several protein kinases which phosphorylate glycogen synthase (Embi, et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 107:519-527 (1980); Hemmings, et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 119:443-451 (1982)). GSK-3 exists in two isoforms, and ⁇ , in vertebrates, reported as having a monomeric structure of 49kD and 47kD respectively. Both isoforms phosphorylate muscle glycogen synthase (Cross, et al., Biochemical Journal 303: 21-26 (1994)).
  • GSK-3 has been implicated in numerous different disease states and conditions. For example, Chen, et al, Diabetes 43: 1234-1241 (1994) have suggested that an increase in GSK-3 activity can be important in Type 2 diabetes. Increased GSK-3 expression in diabetic muscle is also though to contribute to the impaired glycogen synthase activity and skeletal muscle insulin resistance present in Type 2 diabetes (Nikoulina, et al., Diabetes 49: 263-271 (2000)). Also, a higher activity of a type 1 protein phosphatase measured in immotile sperm was attributed to higher GSK-3 activity and was indicated as responsible for holding the sperm motility in check (Vijayaraghavan, et al. Biology of Reproduction 54: 709-718 (1996)).
  • GSK-3 activity has also been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder (WO 97/41854).
  • GSK-3 has furthermore been implicated in hair loss, schizophrenia, and neurodegeneration, including both chronic neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's, supra) and neurotrauma, for example stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord trauma.
