Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for the selective inhibition of neoplastic cells, for example, for the treatment or prevention of precancerous lesions or other neoplasias in mammals, in particular by using 2,9-disubstituted purin-6-ones as therapeutic agents.
- colon cancer For example, approximately 60,000 people die from colon cancer, and over 150,000 new cases of colon cancer are diagnosed each year. For the American population as a whole, individuals have a six percent lifetime risk of developing colon cancer, making it the second most prevalent form of cancer in the country. Colon cancer is also prevalent in Western Europe. It is believed that increased dietary fat consumption is increasing the risk of colon cancer in Japan.
- Colon cancer usually arises from pre-existing benign neoplastic growths known as polyps.
- Prevention efforts have emphasized the identification and removal of colonic polyps.
- Polyps are identified by x-ray and/or colonoscopy, and usually removed by devices associated with the colonoscope.
- the increased use of colon x-rays and colonoscopies in recent years has detected clinically significant precancerous polyps in four to six times the number of individuals per year that acquire colon cancer.
- breast cancer is often treated surgically, often by radical mastectomy with its painful and emotional aftermath. Such surgery is costly, too.
- chemopreventative and chemotherapeutic drugs are believed to kill cancer cells by inducing apoptosis, or as sometimes referred to as “programmed cell death.”
- Apoptosis naturally occurs in virtually all tissues of the body, and especially in self-renewing tissues such as bone marrow, gut, liver and skin.
- Apoptosis plays a critical role in tissue homeostasis, that is, it ensures that the number of new cells produced are correspondingly offset by an equal number of cells that die. For example, the cells in the intestinal lining divide so rapidly that the body must eliminate cells after only three days in order to prevent the overgrowth of the intestinal lining.
- chemotherapeutic drugs may exhibit such desirable apoptosis effects, most chemotherapeutic drugs have serious side effects that prohibit their long-term use, or use in otherwise healthy individuals with precancerous lesions. These side effects, which are a result of nonspecific cytotoxicity of the drugs, include hair loss, weight loss, vomiting, immune suppression and other toxicities. For this reason, there is a need to identify new drug candidates for therapy of patients with precancerous lesions that do not have such serious side effects in humans.
- NSAIDs nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- polyps virtually disappear when the patients take such drugs, particularly when the NSAID sulindac is administered.
- prophylactic use of currently available NSAIDs is marked by severe side reactions that include gastrointestinal irritations and ulcerations. Once NSAID treatment is terminated due to such complications, the polyps return, particularly in polyposis syndrome patients.
- Sulindac has been particularly well received among the NSAIDs for the polyp treatment.
- Sulindac is a sulfoxide compound that itself is believed to be inactive as an anti-arthritic agent.
- the sulfoxide is reportedly converted by liver enzymes to the corresponding sulfide, which is acknowledged to be the active moiety as a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor.
- the sulfide is associated with the side effects of conventional NSAIDs.
- the sulfoxide is also known to be metabolized to sulfone compound that has been found to be inactive as an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis but active as an inhibitor of precancerous lesions.
- This invention includes a method of inhibiting neoplastic cells by exposing those cells to a pharmacologically effective amount of those compounds described below. Such compounds are effective in modulating apoptosis and eliminating and inhibiting the growth of neoplasias such as precancerous lesions.

- R 1 is selected from the group consisting of straight-chain or branched alkyl with 2 to 8 carbon atoms, which is optionally substituted by phenyl, which in turn may be substituted by fluorine; chlorine, bromine, nitro, cyano, or by straight-chain or branched alkyl with up to 4 carbon atoms,
- R 2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxy, azido, or for straight-chain or branched alkyl with up to 4 carbon atoms, or a group with the formula —O—SO 2 R 5 ;
- R 5 is selected from the group consisting of straight-chain or branched alkyl with up to 3 carbon atoms, or phenyl;
- R 3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, or R 2 and R 3 jointly form the group of the formula ⁇ O;
- R 4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen or for straight-chain or branched alkyl with up to 3 carbon atoms;
- A is selected from the group consisting of a group with the formula

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a method for the selective inhibition of neoplastic cells, for example, for the treatment or prevention of precancerous lesions or other neoplasias in mammals, in particular by using 2,9-disubstituted purin-6-ones as therapeutic agents.
- Each year in the United States alone, untold numbers of people develop precancerous lesions, which is a form of neoplasia, as discussed below. Such lesions exhibit a strong tendency to develop into malignant tumors, or cancer. Such lesions include lesions of the breast (that can develop into breast cancer), lesions of the skin (that can develop into malignant melanoma or basal cell carcinoma), colonic adenomatous polyps (that can develop into colon cancer), and other such neoplasms. Compounds that prevent or induce the remission of existing precancerous or cancerous lesions or carcinomas would greatly reduce illness and death from cancer.
- For example, approximately 60,000 people die from colon cancer, and over 150,000 new cases of colon cancer are diagnosed each year. For the American population as a whole, individuals have a six percent lifetime risk of developing colon cancer, making it the second most prevalent form of cancer in the country. Colon cancer is also prevalent in Western Europe. It is believed that increased dietary fat consumption is increasing the risk of colon cancer in Japan.
- In addition, the incidence of colon cancer reportedly increases with age, particularly after the age of 40. Since the mean ages of populations in America and Western Europe are increasing, the prevalence of colorectal cancer should increase in the future.
- To date, little progress has been made in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer, as reflected by the lack of change in the five-year survival rate over the last few decades. The only cure for this cancer is surgery at an extremely early stage. Unfortunately, most of these cancers are discovered too late for surgical cure. In many cases, the patient does not experience symptoms until the cancer has progressed to a malignant stage.
- In view of these grim statistics, efforts in recent years have concentrated on colon cancer prevention. Colon cancer usually arises from pre-existing benign neoplastic growths known as polyps. Prevention efforts have emphasized the identification and removal of colonic polyps. Polyps are identified by x-ray and/or colonoscopy, and usually removed by devices associated with the colonoscope. The increased use of colon x-rays and colonoscopies in recent years has detected clinically significant precancerous polyps in four to six times the number of individuals per year that acquire colon cancer. During the past five years alone, an estimated 3.5 to 5.5 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with adenomatous colonic polyps, and it is estimated that many more people have or are susceptible to developing this condition, but are as yet undiagnosed. In fact, there are estimates that 10-12 percent of people over the age of 40 will form clinically significant adenomatous polyps.
- Removal of polyps has been accomplished either with surgery or fiber-optic endoscopic polypectomy—procedures that are uncomfortable, costly (the cost of a single polypectomy ranges between $1,000 and $1,500 for endoscopic treatment and more for surgery), and involve a small but significant risk of colon perforation which can be fatal. Overall, about $2.5 billion is spent annually in the United States in colon cancer treatment and prevention.
- In the breast, breast cancer is often treated surgically, often by radical mastectomy with its painful and emotional aftermath. Such surgery is costly, too.
- As indicated above, each lesion carries with it a chance that it will develop into a cancer. The likelihood of cancer is diminished if a precancerous lesion is removed. However, many of these patients demonstrate a propensity for developing additional lesions in the future. They must, therefore, be monitored periodically for the rest of their lives for reoccurrence.
- In most cases (i.e. the cases of sporadic lesion formation, e.g. so-called common sporadic polyps), lesion removal will be effective to reduce the risk of cancer. In a small percentage of cases (i.e. cases where numerous lesions form, e.g. the so-called polyposis syndromes), removal of all or part of the effected area (e.g. the colon) is indicated. For example, the difference between common sporadic polyps and polyposis syndromes is dramatic. Common sporadic polyp cases are characterized by relatively few polyps that can usually be removed leaving the colon intact. By contrast, polyposis syndrome cases can be characterized by many (e.g. hundreds or more) of polyps—literally covering the colon in some cases—making safe removal of the polyps impossible short of surgical removal of the colon.
- Because each lesion carries with it a palpable risk of cancerous development, patients who form many lesions (e.g. polyposis syndrome patients) invariably develop cancer if left untreated. Surgical removal of the colon is the conventional treatment in polyposis patients. Many polyposis patients have undergone a severe change in lifestyle as a result of the disfiguring surgery. Patients have strict dietary restrictions, and many must wear ostomy appliances to collect their intestinal wastes.
- The search for drugs useful for treating and preventing cancer is intensive. Indeed, much of the focus of cancer research today is on the prevention of cancer because chemotherapy for cancer itself is often not effective and has severe side effects. Cancer chemoprevention is important for recovered cancer patients who retain a risk of cancer reoccurrence. Also, cancer prevention is important for people who have not yet had cancer, but have hereditary factors that place them at risk of developing cancer. With the development of new genetic screening technologies, it is easier to identify those patients with high-risk genetic factors, such as the potential for polyposis syndrome, who would greatly benefit from chemopreventative drugs. Therefore, finding such anti-cancer drugs that can be used for prolonged preventive use is of vital interest.
- Known chemopreventative and chemotherapeutic drugs are believed to kill cancer cells by inducing apoptosis, or as sometimes referred to as “programmed cell death.” Apoptosis naturally occurs in virtually all tissues of the body, and especially in self-renewing tissues such as bone marrow, gut, liver and skin. Apoptosis plays a critical role in tissue homeostasis, that is, it ensures that the number of new cells produced are correspondingly offset by an equal number of cells that die. For example, the cells in the intestinal lining divide so rapidly that the body must eliminate cells after only three days in order to prevent the overgrowth of the intestinal lining.
- Recently, scientists have realized that abnormalities of apoptosis can lead to the formation of precancerous lesions and carcinomas. Also, recent research indicates that defects in apoptosis play a major role in other diseases in addition to cancer. Consequently, compounds that modulate apoptosis could be used to prevent or control cancer, as well as used in the treatment of other diseases.
- Unfortunately, even though known chemotherapeutic drugs may exhibit such desirable apoptosis effects, most chemotherapeutic drugs have serious side effects that prohibit their long-term use, or use in otherwise healthy individuals with precancerous lesions. These side effects, which are a result of nonspecific cytotoxicity of the drugs, include hair loss, weight loss, vomiting, immune suppression and other toxicities. For this reason, there is a need to identify new drug candidates for therapy of patients with precancerous lesions that do not have such serious side effects in humans.
- In recent years, several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (“NSAIDs”), originally developed to treat arthritis, have shown effectiveness in inhibiting and eliminating colonic polyps. Polyps virtually disappear when the patients take such drugs, particularly when the NSAID sulindac is administered. However, the prophylactic use of currently available NSAIDs, even in polyposis syndrome patients, is marked by severe side reactions that include gastrointestinal irritations and ulcerations. Once NSAID treatment is terminated due to such complications, the polyps return, particularly in polyposis syndrome patients.
- Sulindac has been particularly well received among the NSAIDs for the polyp treatment. Sulindac is a sulfoxide compound that itself is believed to be inactive as an anti-arthritic agent. The sulfoxide is reportedly converted by liver enzymes to the corresponding sulfide, which is acknowledged to be the active moiety as a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor. The sulfide, however, is associated with the side effects of conventional NSAIDs. The sulfoxide is also known to be metabolized to sulfone compound that has been found to be inactive as an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis but active as an inhibitor of precancerous lesions.
- This invention includes a method of inhibiting neoplastic cells by exposing those cells to a pharmacologically effective amount of those compounds described below. Such compounds are effective in modulating apoptosis and eliminating and inhibiting the growth of neoplasias such as precancerous lesions.

- Also, the present invention is a method of inhibiting the growth of neoplastic cells by exposing the cells to an effective amount of compounds of Formula I, wherein R1 etc. are defined as above.
- In still another form, the invention is a method of inducing apoptosis in human cells by exposing those cells to an effective amount of compounds of Formula I, wherein R1 etc. are defined as above where such cells are sensitive to these compounds.
- Additionally, in yet another form, the invention is a method of treating a patient having a disease which would benefit from regulation of apoptosis by treating the patient with an effective amount of compounds of Formula I, wherein R1 etc. are defined as above. The regulation of apoptosis is believed to play an important role in diseases associated with abnormalities of cellular growth patterns such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, infectious diseases such as AIDS, and other diseases, as well.
- As used herein, the term “precancerous lesion” includes syndromes represented by abnormal neoplastic, including dysplastic, changes of tissue. Examples include dysplasic growths in colonic, breast, bladder or lung tissues, or conditions such as dysplastic nevus syndrome, a precursor to malignant melanoma of the skin. Examples also include, in addition to dysplastic nevus syndromes, polyposis syndromes, colonic polyps, precancerous lesions of the cervix (i.e., cervical dysplasia), esophagus, prostatic dysplasia, bronchial dysplasia, breast, bladder and/or skin and related conditions (e.g., actinic keratosis), whether the lesions are clinically identifiable or not.
- As used herein, the term “carcinomas” refers to lesions that are cancerous. Examples include malignant melanomas, breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer.
- As used herein, the term “neoplasm” refers to both precancerous and cancerous lesions and hyperplasia.
- Compounds useful in the practice of this invention may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions together with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for oral administration in solid or liquid form, or for rectal or topical administration, although carriers for oral and parenteral administration are most preferred.
- Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, troches and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the carrier can comprise at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such carriers can also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets, troches and pills, the carriers may also comprise buffering agents. Carriers such as tablets, pills and granules can be prepared with enteric coatings on the surfaces of the tablets, pills or granules. Alternatively, the enterically coated compound can be pressed into a tablet, pill, or granule, and the tablet, pill or granules for administration to the patient. Preferred enteric coatings include those that dissolve or disintegrate at colonic pH such as shellac or Eudraget S.
- Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include liquid dosage forms for oral administration, e.g., pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Besides such inert diluents, compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, and sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents.
- Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for topical administration include DMSO, alcohol or propylene glycol and the like that can be employed with patches or other liquid-retaining material to hold the medicament in place on the skin so that the medicament will not dry out.
- Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for rectal administration are preferably suppositories that may contain, in addition to the compounds of this invention excipients such as cocoa butter or a suppository wax, or gel.
- When the present invention is used as a medicine for such diseases, it is administered by oral, intravenous or parenteral administration. The dose thereof varies depending upon the extent of symptom; the age, sex, weight and drug sensitivity of a patient; the method, timing and interval of administration; the type of pharmaceutical preparation; the type of a medicine to be administered together therewith; the type of an active ingredient and so forth.
- With intravenous administration, it is recommended to administer amounts of about 0.01 to 10 mg/kg of body weight, preferably about 0.1 to 10 mg/kg. Nevertheless, it may be necessary to deviate from the amounts mentioned, specifically depending on the body weight or the method of administration, on individual behavior toward the medication, on the type of formulation, and the time or intervals at which administration occurs. Thus, in some cases, it may be sufficient to get by with less than the aforementioned minimum amounts, while in other cases the mentioned upper limits have to be exceeded. It may be advisable when administering larger amounts to divide them into several individual doses throughout the day.

- The amines of Formula VI can then be prepared by known methods [see. L. R. Krepski et al., Synthesis, 1986, 301-303].
- There are several methods to produce the 1-substituted 5-acylaminoimidazole-4-carboxamides of Formula IV, that are generally described below as Methods A and B.
- Method A
- 10 mmoles of the 1-substituted 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide and 15 mmoles (or 30 mmoles if R2 is hydroxy) of NaH (60% dispersion in mineral oil) in 50 ml of absolute THF are stirred for 3 hours at 20° C. (sparingly soluble imidazoles are refluxed for up to 3 hours). 10 mmoles of acid chloride (or 20 mmoles if a hydroxy group is present) in 2.5 ml of absolute THF is added dropwise at 20° C. and the mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent is evaporated under vacuum in a rotary evaporator, and the residue is taken up in 50 ml of ethyl acetate and extracted with 50 ml of water. The organic phase is separated, dried over Na2SO4, and the solvent is evaporated under vacuum. The residue is purified by recrystallization or flash chromatography.
- Method B
- 10 mmoles of the 1-substituted-5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide is dissolved in 20 ml of dry pyridine. After adding 50 mg of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), 11 mmoles of acid chloride (or 22 mmoles if R2 is selected from the group consisting of a hydroxy group) is added dropwise at 20° C. (solid acid chlorides are dissolved in a little absolute toluene). The mixture is stirred for 1 h at 20° C.; in some cases 1-2 hours of heating at 50° C. is also necessary (TLC control). The batch is poured into 100 ml of ice water and extracted 3 times with 50-ml portions of ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate phases are washed twice with 1N HCl, once with saturated NaCl solution, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated under vacuum. The residue is purified by flash chromatography or recrystallization.
