Definitions

  • Protein phosphorylation is important for the regulation of many cellular processes including cell cycle progression and division, signal transduction, and apoptosis.
  • the phosphorylation is usually a transfer reaction of the terminal phosphate group from ATP to the protein substrate.
  • the specific structure in the target substrate to which the phosphate is transferred is a tyrosine, serine or threonine residue. Since these amino acid residues are the target structures for the phosphoryl transfer, and since most kinases target either tyrosine or both serine and threonine, these protein kinase enzymes are commonly referred to as tyrosine kinases or serine/threonine (S/T) kinases.
  • the phosphorylation reactions, and counteracting phosphatase reactions, on the tyrosine, serine and threonine residues are involved in many cellular processes that underlie responses to diverse intracellular signals, regulation of cellular functions, and activation or deactivation of cellular processes.
  • a cascade of protein kinases often function in intracellular signal transduction. Protein kinases can be found integrated into the plasma membrane, as cytoplasmic enzymes or localized in the nucleus, often as components of enzyme complexes. In many instances, these protein kinases are an essential element of enzyme and structural protein complexes that determine where and when a cellular process occurs within a cell. Given the importance and diversity of protein kinase function, it is not surprising that phosphorylation events are required in cellular processes associated with many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, inflammation, and hypertension.
  • the identification of effective small molecules that specifically inhibit protein kinases involved in abnormal or inappropriate cell proliferation, signaling, differentiation, protein production, or metabolism is therefore desirable.
  • the identification of methods and compounds that specifically inhibit the function of kinases that are involved in immune modulation or proliferative disorders is particularly desirable.
  • the present invention provides novel compounds that inhibit one or more receptor, or non-receptor, tyrosine or S/T kinase.
  • the present invention provides a compound of Formula (I)

  • Protein kinases are a broad and diverse class, of over 500 enzymes, that include growth factors receptors, signal transduction intermediates, apoptosis related kinases and cyclin dependent kinases. Many can function as oncogenes. They are responsible for the transfer of a phosphate group to specific tyrosine, serine or threonine amino acid residues, and are broadly classified as tyrosine and S/T kinases as a result of their substrate specificity.
  • S/T kinases are a large sub-family of protein kinases that specifically transfer a phosphate group to a terminal hydroxyl moiety of specific serine or threonine residues (Hanks et al., (1988) Science, 241: 42-52).
  • a number of S/T kinase family members are involved in inflammatory signaling, tumor growth or cellular transformation.
  • the mitogen-activated protein kinases are S/T kinases that act as intermediates within the signaling cascades of Toll like receptors (TLRs), such as TLR4, growth/survival factors, such as EGF, and death receptors, such as the TNF receptor.
  • MAPKs such as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1-2), p38a, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (INK) or MAPKAP-K2 (MK2) have been shown to transduce signaling in cells, such as macrophages, resulting in the production and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF.
  • ERK1-2 extracellular signal-regulated kinases
  • p38a p38a
  • INK c-Jun N-terminal kinase
  • MK2 MAPKAP-K2
  • TPL-2 is a S/T kinase which is homologous to a subfamily of kinases called MAP kinase kinase kinases (MAP3K) in its catalytic domain (Salmeron, et al., (1996) EMBO J., 15, 817-826) and is >90% identical to the proto-oncogene product of human COT (Aoki et al., (1993) J. Biol. Chem., 268, 22723-22732).
  • MAP3K MAP kinase kinase kinases
  • TPL-2 was originally identified, in a C-terminally deleted form, as the product of an oncogene associated with Moloney murine leukemia virus-induced T cell lymphomas in rats (Patriotis, et al., (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90, 2251-2255). TPL-2 is also highly homologous to the kinase NIK, which has been shown to regulate the inducible degradation of I ⁇ B- ⁇ (Malinin et al., (1997) Nature, 385, 540-544; WO 97/37016; May and Ghosh, (1998) Immunol. Today, 19, 80-88).
  • TPL-2 is essential for the activation of a MAP2K (MEK1-2), which in turn activate a MAPK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase, ERK1-2) in macrophages stimulated by TLR agonists, such as lipopolysachharide (LPS).
  • MAPK extracellular signal-regulated kinase
  • ERK1-2 extracellular signal-regulated kinase
  • TLR agonists such as lipopolysachharide (LPS).
  • LPS lipopolysachharide
  • TPL-2 plays a crucial role in the regulation of LPS-induced TNF, IL-1 ⁇ and COX-2 induced prostaglandin-E2 production in macrophages (Tsichlis et al, (2000), Cell, 103, 1071; Tsichlis et al, (2002), EMBO J, 21, 4831-4840).
  • COT/TPL-2 in various tumors (Tsanisi et al., (2000), Int J Mol Med, 5, 583) and the defect in TNF production observed in COT knockout mice (Tsichlis et al, (2000), Cell, 103, 1071) suggests that inhibition of COT may be a useful approach in the treatment of cancer, inflammation or other diseases mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines.
  • MK2 (MAPKAP-K2) is an S/T kinase critically involved in inflammatory processes. MK2 is a substrate for the MAPK p38 (Stokoe et al., (1992), EMBO J., 11, 3985-3994; Ben-Levy et al., (1995), EMBO J., 14, 5920-5930). Activation of MK2 in immune cells results in an array of cellular responses including cytokine production, proliferation and activation. Knockout mice defective in MK2 production are healthy and fertile but fail to produce cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in response to inflammatory stimuli (Kotlyarov et al., (1999), Nat.
  • TNF tumor necrosis factor
  • MK2 may alter gene expression by phosphorylation of mRNA-binding proteins (Winzen et al., (1999), EMBO J., 18, 4969-4980; Lasa et al., (2000), Mol. Cell. Biol., 20, 4265-4274; Rousseau et al., (2002), EMBO J., 21, 6505-6514; Bollig et al., (2003), Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun, 301, 665-670; Tran et al., (2003), Mol. Cell. Biol., 23, 7177-7188.), Chrestensen, C. A. et al. J. Biol. Chem.
  • MK2 knockouts The defect in TNF production in MK2 knockouts suggests that the antiinflammatory effect of p38 MAPK inhibitors may be largely due to blockade of activation of MK2 Inhibitors of MK2 may be effective treatments of inflammation or other diseases mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines.
  • PTKs Protein tyrosine kinases
  • endothelial-cell specific receptor PTKs such as KDR and Tie-2 mediate the angiogenic process, and are thus involved in supporting the progression of cancers and other diseases involving inappropriate vascularization (e.g., diabetic retinopathy, choroidal neovascularization due to age-related macular degeneration, psoriasis, arthritis, retinopathy of prematurity, and infantile hemangiomas).
  • inappropriate vascularization e.g., diabetic retinopathy, choroidal neovascularization due to age-related macular degeneration, psoriasis, arthritis, retinopathy of prematurity, and infantile hemangiomas.
  • Tyrosine kinases can be of the receptor-type (having extracellular, transmembrane and intracellular domains) or the non-receptor type (being wholly intracellular).
  • RTKs Receptor Tyrosine Kinases
  • the RTKs comprise a large family of transmembrane receptors with diverse biological activities. At present, at least nineteen (19) distinct RTK subfamilies have been identified.
  • the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family includes receptors that are crucial for the growth and differentiation of a variety of cell types (Yarden and Ullrich, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 57:433-478, 1988; Ullrich and Schlessinger, Cell 61:243-254, 1990).
  • RTKs The intrinsic function of RTKs is activated upon ligand binding, which results in phosphorylation of the receptor and multiple cellular substrates, and subsequently in a variety of cellular responses (Ullrich & Schlessinger, 1990, Cell 61:203-212).
  • receptor tyrosine kinase mediated signal transduction is initiated by extracellular interaction with a specific growth factor (ligand), typically followed by receptor dimerization, stimulation of the intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase activity and receptor trans-phosphorylation.
  • Binding sites are thereby created for intracellular signal transduction molecules and lead to the formation of complexes with a spectrum of cytoplasmic signaling molecules that facilitate the appropriate cellular response (e.g., cell division, differentiation, metabolic effects, and changes in the extracellular microenvironment; see Schlessinger and Ullrich, 1992, Neuron 9:1-20).
  • Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinases represent a collection of cellular enzymes that lack extracellular and transmembrane sequences. Over twenty-four individual non-receptor tyrosine kinases, comprising eleven (11) subfamilies (Src, Frk, Btk, Csk, Abl, Zap70, Fes/Fps, Fak, Jak, Ack and LIMK) have been identified. The Src subfamily of non-receptor tyrosine kinases is comprised of the largest number of PTKs and include Src, Yes, Fyn, Lyn, Lck, Blk, Hck, Fgr and Yrk.

Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application claims priority to U.S. NonProvisional application Ser. No. 11/731,950 filed Apr. 2, 2007, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/788,553 filed Mar. 31, 2006, all of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Protein phosphorylation, at specific amino acid residues, is important for the regulation of many cellular processes including cell cycle progression and division, signal transduction, and apoptosis. The phosphorylation is usually a transfer reaction of the terminal phosphate group from ATP to the protein substrate. The specific structure in the target substrate to which the phosphate is transferred is a tyrosine, serine or threonine residue. Since these amino acid residues are the target structures for the phosphoryl transfer, and since most kinases target either tyrosine or both serine and threonine, these protein kinase enzymes are commonly referred to as tyrosine kinases or serine/threonine (S/T) kinases. The phosphorylation reactions, and counteracting phosphatase reactions, on the tyrosine, serine and threonine residues are involved in many cellular processes that underlie responses to diverse intracellular signals, regulation of cellular functions, and activation or deactivation of cellular processes. A cascade of protein kinases often function in intracellular signal transduction. Protein kinases can be found integrated into the plasma membrane, as cytoplasmic enzymes or localized in the nucleus, often as components of enzyme complexes. In many instances, these protein kinases are an essential element of enzyme and structural protein complexes that determine where and when a cellular process occurs within a cell. Given the importance and diversity of protein kinase function, it is not surprising that phosphorylation events are required in cellular processes associated with many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, inflammation, and hypertension.
  • The identification of effective small molecules that specifically inhibit protein kinases involved in abnormal or inappropriate cell proliferation, signaling, differentiation, protein production, or metabolism is therefore desirable. The identification of methods and compounds that specifically inhibit the function of kinases that are involved in immune modulation or proliferative disorders is particularly desirable.
  • The present invention provides novel compounds that inhibit one or more receptor, or non-receptor, tyrosine or S/T kinase.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Protein Kinases
  • Protein kinases are a broad and diverse class, of over 500 enzymes, that include growth factors receptors, signal transduction intermediates, apoptosis related kinases and cyclin dependent kinases. Many can function as oncogenes. They are responsible for the transfer of a phosphate group to specific tyrosine, serine or threonine amino acid residues, and are broadly classified as tyrosine and S/T kinases as a result of their substrate specificity.
    • Serine/Threonine Kinases
  • S/T kinases are a large sub-family of protein kinases that specifically transfer a phosphate group to a terminal hydroxyl moiety of specific serine or threonine residues (Hanks et al., (1988) Science, 241: 42-52). A number of S/T kinase family members are involved in inflammatory signaling, tumor growth or cellular transformation. For example, the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are S/T kinases that act as intermediates within the signaling cascades of Toll like receptors (TLRs), such as TLR4, growth/survival factors, such as EGF, and death receptors, such as the TNF receptor. Activation of MAPKs, such as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1-2), p38a, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (INK) or MAPKAP-K2 (MK2) have been shown to transduce signaling in cells, such as macrophages, resulting in the production and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF.
  • TPL-2 is a S/T kinase which is homologous to a subfamily of kinases called MAP kinase kinase kinases (MAP3K) in its catalytic domain (Salmeron, et al., (1996) EMBO J., 15, 817-826) and is >90% identical to the proto-oncogene product of human COT (Aoki et al., (1993) J. Biol. Chem., 268, 22723-22732). TPL-2 was originally identified, in a C-terminally deleted form, as the product of an oncogene associated with Moloney murine leukemia virus-induced T cell lymphomas in rats (Patriotis, et al., (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90, 2251-2255). TPL-2 is also highly homologous to the kinase NIK, which has been shown to regulate the inducible degradation of IκB-α (Malinin et al., (1997) Nature, 385, 540-544; WO 97/37016; May and Ghosh, (1998) Immunol. Today, 19, 80-88). TPL-2 is essential for the activation of a MAP2K (MEK1-2), which in turn activate a MAPK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase, ERK1-2) in macrophages stimulated by TLR agonists, such as lipopolysachharide (LPS). TPL-2 plays a crucial role in the regulation of LPS-induced TNF, IL-1β and COX-2 induced prostaglandin-E2 production in macrophages (Tsichlis et al, (2000), Cell, 103, 1071; Tsichlis et al, (2002), EMBO J, 21, 4831-4840). The expression of COT/TPL-2 in various tumors (Tsanisi et al., (2000), Int J Mol Med, 5, 583) and the defect in TNF production observed in COT knockout mice (Tsichlis et al, (2000), Cell, 103, 1071) suggests that inhibition of COT may be a useful approach in the treatment of cancer, inflammation or other diseases mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines.
  • MK2 (MAPKAP-K2) is an S/T kinase critically involved in inflammatory processes. MK2 is a substrate for the MAPK p38 (Stokoe et al., (1992), EMBO J., 11, 3985-3994; Ben-Levy et al., (1995), EMBO J., 14, 5920-5930). Activation of MK2 in immune cells results in an array of cellular responses including cytokine production, proliferation and activation. Knockout mice defective in MK2 production are healthy and fertile but fail to produce cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in response to inflammatory stimuli (Kotlyarov et al., (1999), Nat. Cell Biol, 1, 94-97.). MK2 may alter gene expression by phosphorylation of mRNA-binding proteins (Winzen et al., (1999), EMBO J., 18, 4969-4980; Lasa et al., (2000), Mol. Cell. Biol., 20, 4265-4274; Rousseau et al., (2002), EMBO J., 21, 6505-6514; Bollig et al., (2003), Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun, 301, 665-670; Tran et al., (2003), Mol. Cell. Biol., 23, 7177-7188.), Chrestensen, C. A. et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2004, 279, 10176-10184 and Stoecklin, G. et al. EMBO J. 2004, 23, 1313-1324) transcription factors (Heidenreich et al., (1999), J. Biol. Chem., 274, 14434-14443) or other proteins (Stokoe et al., (1992), FEBS Lett., 313, 307-313; Sutherland et al., (1993), Eur. J. Biochem., 217, 715-722; Werz et al, (2000), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 97, 5261-5266). The defect in TNF production in MK2 knockouts suggests that the antiinflammatory effect of p38 MAPK inhibitors may be largely due to blockade of activation of MK2 Inhibitors of MK2 may be effective treatments of inflammation or other diseases mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines.
  • Protein Tyrosine Kinases.
  • Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) are enzymes that catalyse the phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues in cellular proteins. This post-translational modification of these substrate proteins, often enzymes themselves, acts as a molecular switch regulating cell proliferation, activation or differentiation (for review, see Schlessinger and Ulrich, 1992, Neuron 9:383-391). Aberrant or excessive PTK activity has been observed in many disease states including benign and malignant proliferative disorders as well as diseases resulting from inappropriate activation of the immune system (e.g. autoimmune disorders), allograft rejection, and graft vs. host disease. In addition, endothelial-cell specific receptor PTKs such as KDR and Tie-2 mediate the angiogenic process, and are thus involved in supporting the progression of cancers and other diseases involving inappropriate vascularization (e.g., diabetic retinopathy, choroidal neovascularization due to age-related macular degeneration, psoriasis, arthritis, retinopathy of prematurity, and infantile hemangiomas).
  • Tyrosine kinases can be of the receptor-type (having extracellular, transmembrane and intracellular domains) or the non-receptor type (being wholly intracellular).
  • Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs). The RTKs comprise a large family of transmembrane receptors with diverse biological activities. At present, at least nineteen (19) distinct RTK subfamilies have been identified. The receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family includes receptors that are crucial for the growth and differentiation of a variety of cell types (Yarden and Ullrich, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 57:433-478, 1988; Ullrich and Schlessinger, Cell 61:243-254, 1990). The intrinsic function of RTKs is activated upon ligand binding, which results in phosphorylation of the receptor and multiple cellular substrates, and subsequently in a variety of cellular responses (Ullrich & Schlessinger, 1990, Cell 61:203-212). Thus, receptor tyrosine kinase mediated signal transduction is initiated by extracellular interaction with a specific growth factor (ligand), typically followed by receptor dimerization, stimulation of the intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase activity and receptor trans-phosphorylation. Binding sites are thereby created for intracellular signal transduction molecules and lead to the formation of complexes with a spectrum of cytoplasmic signaling molecules that facilitate the appropriate cellular response (e.g., cell division, differentiation, metabolic effects, and changes in the extracellular microenvironment; see Schlessinger and Ullrich, 1992, Neuron 9:1-20).
  • Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinases. Non-receptor tyrosine kinases represent a collection of cellular enzymes that lack extracellular and transmembrane sequences. Over twenty-four individual non-receptor tyrosine kinases, comprising eleven (11) subfamilies (Src, Frk, Btk, Csk, Abl, Zap70, Fes/Fps, Fak, Jak, Ack and LIMK) have been identified. The Src subfamily of non-receptor tyrosine kinases is comprised of the largest number of PTKs and include Src, Yes, Fyn, Lyn, Lck, Blk, Hck, Fgr and Yrk. The Src subfamily of enzymes has been linked to oncogenesis and immune responses. A more detailed discussion of non-receptor tyrosine kinases is provided in Bohlen, 1993, Oncogene 8:2025-2031, which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • Many of the kinases, whether a receptor or non-receptor tyrosine kinase or a S/T kinase have been found to be involved in cellular signaling pathways involved in numerous pathogenic conditions, including immunomodulation, inflammation, or proliferative disorders such as cancer.

  • In this invention, the following definitions are applicable:
  • A “therapeutically effective amount” is an amount of a compound of Formula I or a combination of two or more such compounds, which inhibits, totally or partially, the progression of the condition or alleviates, at least partially, one or more symptoms of the condition. A therapeutically effective amount can also be an amount which is prophylactically effective. The amount which is therapeutically effective will depend upon the patient's size and gender, the condition to be treated, the severity of the condition and the result sought. For a given patient, a therapeutically effective amount can be determined by methods known to those of skill in the art.
  • “Physiologically acceptable salts” refers to those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free bases and which are obtained by reaction with inorganic acids, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid or organic acids such as sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, organic phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid (e.g. (+) or (−)-tartaric acid or mixtures thereof), amino acids (e.g. (+) or (−)-amino acids or mixtures thereof), and the like. These salts can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art.
  • Certain compounds of formula I which have acidic substituents may exist as salts with pharmaceutically acceptable bases. The present invention includes such salts. Examples of such salts include sodium salts, potassium salts, lysine salts and arginine salts. These salts may be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art.
  • Certain compounds of formula I and their salts may exist in more than one crystal form and the present invention includes each crystal form and mixtures thereof.
  • Certain compounds of formula I and their salts may also exist in the form of solvates, for example hydrates, and the present invention includes each solvate and mixtures thereof.
  • Certain compounds of formula I may contain one or more chiral centers, and exist in different optically active forms. When compounds of formula I contain one chiral center, the compounds exist in two enantiomeric forms and the present invention includes both enantiomers and mixtures of enantiomers, such as racemic mixtures. The enantiomers may be resolved by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by formation of diastereoisomeric salts which may be separated, for example, by crystallization; formation of diastereoisomeric derivatives or complexes which may be separated, for example, by crystallization, gas-liquid or liquid chromatography; selective reaction of one enantiomer with an enantiomer-specific reagent, for example enzymatic esterification; or gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example on a chiral support for example silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. It will be appreciated that where the desired enantiomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired enantiomeric form. Alternatively, specific enantiomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer into the other by asymmetric transformation.
  • When a compound of formula I contains more than one chiral center it may exist in diastereoisomeric forms. The diastereoisomeric pairs may be separated by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example chromatography or crystallization and the individual enantiomers within each pair may be separated as described above. The present invention includes each diastereoisomer of compounds of formula I and mixtures thereof.
  • Certain compounds of formula I may exist in different tautomeric forms or as different geometric isomers, and the present invention includes each tautomer and/or geometric isomer of compounds of formula I and mixtures thereof.
  • Certain compounds of formula I may exist in different stable conformational forms which may be separable. Torsional asymmetry due to restricted rotation about an asymmetric single bond, for example because of steric hindrance or ring strain, may permit separation of different conformers. The present invention includes each conformational isomer of compounds of formula I and mixtures thereof.
  • Certain compounds of formula I may exist in zwitterionic form and the present invention includes each zwitterionic form of compounds of formula I and mixtures thereof.
  • As used herein the term “pro-drug” refers to an agent which is converted into the parent drug in vivo by some physiological chemical process (e.g., a prodrug on being brought to the physiological pH is converted to the desired drug form). Pro-drugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent drug is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmacological compositions over the parent drug. An example, without limitation, of a pro-drug would be a compound of the present invention wherein it is administered as an ester (the “pro-drug”) to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is not beneficial, but then it is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid once inside the cell where water solubility is beneficial
  • Pro-drugs have many useful properties. For example, a pro-drug may be more water soluble than the ultimate drug, thereby facilitating intravenous administration of the drug. A pro-drug may also have a higher level of oral bioavailability than the ultimate drug. After administration, the prodrug is enzymatically or chemically cleaved to deliver the ultimate drug in the blood or tissue.
  • Exemplary pro-drugs upon cleavage release the corresponding free acid, and such hydrolyzable ester-forming residues of the compounds of this invention include but are not limited to carboxylic acid substituents (e.g., —(CH2)C(O)H or a moiety that contains a carboxylic acid) wherein the free hydrogen is replaced by (C1-C4)alkyl, (C2-C12)alkanoyloxymethyl, (C4-C9)1-(alkanoyloxy)ethyl, 1-methyl-1-(alkanoyloxy)-ethyl having from 5 to 10 carbon atoms, alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, 1-(alkoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl having from 4 to 7 carbon atoms, 1-methyl-1-(alkoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl having from 5 to 8 carbon atoms, N-(alkoxycarbonyl)aminomethyl having from 3 to 9 carbon atoms, 1-(N-(alkoxycarbonyl)amino)ethyl having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, 3-phthalidyl, 4-crotonolactonyl, gamma-butyrolacton-4-yl, di-N,N—(C1-C2)alkylamino(C2-C3)alkyl (such as β-dimethylaminoethyl), carbamoyl-(C1-C2)alkyl, N,N-di(C1-C2)-alkylcarbamoyl-(C1-C2)alkyl and piperidino-, pyrrolidino- or morpholino(C2-C3)alkyl.
  • Other exemplary pro-drugs release an alcohol of Formula I wherein the free hydrogen of the hydroxyl substituent (e.g., R1 contains hydroxyl) is replaced by (C1-C6)alkanoyloxymethyl, 1-((C1-C6)alkanoyloxy)ethyl, 1-methyl-1-((C1-C6)alkanoyloxy)ethyl, (C1-C6)alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl, N—(C1-C6)alkoxycarbonylamino-methyl, succinoyl, (C1-C6)alkanoyl, α-amino(C1-C4)alkanoyl, arylactyl and α-aminoacyl, or α-aminoacyl-α-aminoacyl wherein said α-aminoacyl moieties are independently any of the naturally occurring L-amino acids found in proteins, P(O)(OH)2, —P(O)(O(C1-C6)alkyl)2 or glycosyl (the radical resulting from detachment of the hydroxyl of the hemiacetal of a carbohydrate).

    • Effective Dosage
  • Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for use in the present invention include compositions wherein the active ingredients are contained in an effective amount to achieve its intended purpose. More specifically, a therapeutically effective amount means an amount effective to prevent development of or to alleviate the existing symptoms of the subject being treated. Determination of the effective amounts is well within the capability of those skilled in the art.
  • For any compound used in a method of the present invention, the therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from cellular assays. For example, a dose can be formulated in cellular and animal models to achieve a circulating concentration range that includes the IC50 as determined in cellular assays (i.e., the concentration of the test compound which achieves a half-maximal inhibition of a given protein kinase activity). In some cases it is appropriate to determine the IC50 in the presence of 3 to 5% serum albumin since such a determination approximates the binding effects of plasma protein on the compound. Such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans. Further, the most preferred compounds for systemic administration effectively inhibit protein kinase signaling in intact cells at levels that are safely achievable in plasma.
  • A therapeutically effective dose refers to that amount of a compound of Formula I or a combination of two or more such compounds, which inhibits, totally or partially, the progression of a condition or alleviates, at least partially, one or more symptoms of the condition. A therapeutically effective amount can also be an amount which is prophylactically effective. Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such compounds can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the ED50 (effective dose for % maximal response). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it can be expressed as the ratio between MTD and ED50. Compounds which exhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred. The data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in humans. The dosage of such compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. A therapeutically effective amount can also be an amount which is prophylactically effective. The amount which is therapeutically effective will depend upon the patient's size and gender, the condition to be treated, the severity of the condition and the result sought. For a given patient, a therapeutically effective amount can be determined by methods known to those of skill in the art. The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition. (See e.g. Fingl et al., 1975, in “The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics”, Ch. 1 p 1). In the treatment of crises, the administration of an acute bolus or an infusion approaching the MTD may be required to obtain a rapid response.
  • Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active moiety which are sufficient to maintain the kinase modulating effects, or minimal effective concentration (MEC). The MEC will vary for each compound but can be estimated from in vitro data; e.g. the concentration necessary to achieve 50-90% inhibition of protein kinase using the assays described herein. Dosages necessary to achieve the MEC will depend on individual characteristics and route of administration. However, HPLC assays or bioassays can be used to determine plasma concentrations.
  • Dosage intervals can also be determined using the MEC value. Compounds should be administered using a regimen which maintains plasma levels above the MEC for 10-90% of the time, preferably between 30-90% and most preferably between 50-90% until the desired amelioration of symptoms is achieved. In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of the drug may not be related to plasma concentration.
  • The amount of composition administered will, of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, on the subject's weight, the severity of the affliction, the manner of administration and the judgment of the prescribing physician.
    • Packaging
  • The compositions may, if desired, be presented in a pack or dispenser device which may contain one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. The pack may for example comprise metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack. The pack or dispenser device may be accompanied by instructions for administration. Compositions comprising a compound of the invention formulated in a compatible pharmaceutical carrier may also be prepared, placed in an appropriate container, and labeled for treatment of an indicated condition.
  • In some formulations it may be beneficial to use the compounds of the present invention in the form of particles of very small size, for example as obtained by fluid energy milling.
  • The use of compounds of the present invention in the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions is illustrated by the following description. In this description the term “active compound” denotes any compound of the invention but particularly any compound which is the final product of one of the preceding Examples.
    • a) Capsules
  • In the preparation of capsules, 10 parts by weight of active compound and 240 parts by weight of lactose can be de-aggregated and blended. The mixture can be filled into hard gelatin capsules, each capsule containing a unit dose or part of a unit dose of active compound.
    • b) Tablets
  • Tablets can be prepared, for example, from the following ingredients.
  • Parts by weight
    Active compound 10
    Lactose 190
    Maize starch 22
    Polyvinylpyrrolidone 10
    Magnesium stearate 3
  • The active compound, the lactose and some of the starch can be de-aggregated, blended and the resulting mixture can be granulated with a solution of the polyvinyl-pyrrolidone in ethanol. The dry granulate can be blended with the magnesium stearate and the rest of the starch. The mixture is then compressed in a tabletting machine to give tablets each containing a unit dose or a part of a unit dose of active compound.
    • c) Enteric Coated Tablets
  • Tablets can be prepared by the method described in (b) above. The tablets can be enteric coated in a conventional manner using a solution of 20% cellulose acetate phthalate and 3% diethyl phthalate in ethanol:dichloromethane (1:1).
    • d) Suppositories
  • In the preparation of suppositories, for example, 100 parts by weight of active compound can be incorporated in 1300 parts by weight of triglyceride suppository base and the mixture formed into suppositories each containing a therapeutically effective amount of active ingredient.
  • In the compositions of the present invention the active compound may, if desired, be associated with other compatible pharmacologically active ingredients. For example, the compounds of this invention can be administered in combination with another therapeutic agent that is known to treat a disease or condition described herein. For example, with one or more additional pharmaceutical agents that inhibit or prevent the production of VEGF or angiopoietins, attenuate intracellular responses to VEGF or angiopoietins, block intracellular signal transduction, inhibit vascular hyperpermeability, reduce inflammation, or inhibit or prevent the formation of edema or neovascularization. The compounds of the invention can be administered prior to, subsequent to or simultaneously with the additional pharmaceutical agent, whichever course of administration is appropriate. The additional pharmaceutical agents include, but are not limited to any of the agents, for examples, described in pages 20-28. The compounds of the invention and the additional pharmaceutical agents act either additively or synergistically. Thus, the administration of such a combination of substances that inhibit angiogenesis, vascular hyperpermeability and/or inhibit the formation of edema can provide greater relief from the deletrious effects of a hyperproliferative disorder, angiogenesis, vascular hyperpermeability or edema than the administration of either substance alone. In the treatment of malignant disorders combinations with antiproliferative or cytotoxic chemotherapies or radiation are included in the scope of the present invention.
  • The present invention also comprises the use of a compound of formula I as a medicament.
  • A further aspect of the present invention provides the use of a compound of formula I or a salt thereof in the manufacture of a medicament for treating vascular hyperpermeability, angiogenesis-dependent disorders, proliferative diseases and/or disorders of the immune system in mammals, particularly human beings.
  • The present invention also provides a method of treating vascular hyperpermeability, inappropriate neovascularization, proliferative diseases and/or disorders of the immune system which comprises the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula Ito a mammal, particularly a human being, in need thereof.

    • Assays for Screening Compounds of Formula (I) Enzyme Assays
  • The in vitro potency of compounds in inhibiting one or more of the protein kinases discussed herein or described in the art may be determined by the procedures detailed below.
  • The potency of compounds can be determined by the amount of inhibition of the phosphorylation of an exogenous substrate (e.g., a synthetic peptide (Z. Songyang et al., Nature. 373:536-539) by a test compound relative to control.
  • Homogenous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) in vitro kinase assay (see Mathis, G., HTRF(R) Technology. J Biomol Screen, 1999. 4(6): p. 309-314, the contents of which are incorporated in its entirety herein by reference):
  • Purified enzymes (available from commercial sources) were mixed with different amounts of N-biotinylated substrates or GST-tagged substrates (see table) at varying concentrations of inhibitor in different reaction buffers (40 μL final volume, see table). The kinase reaction was initiated by addition of ATP (0.01-0.1 mM final conc.) in a black 96-half-well plate (Perkin Elmer). After 50-60 minutes incubation at room temperature, the reaction was quenched by addition of EDTA (final conc. 100 mM) and developed by addition of revelation reagents (final approximate concentrations: 30 mM HEPES, pH7.0, 0.06% BSA, 0.006% Tween-20, 0.24 M KF, varying amounts of donor europium labeled antibodies and acceptor streptavidin labeled allophycocyanin (SAXL) or anti-GST-XL which are specific to the enzyme reactions. (see table). The developed reaction was incubated in the dark either at room temperature for 10 min, or at 4° C. overnight (see table), then read in a time-resolved fluorescence detector (Discovery, Perkin Elmer or Rubystar, BMG) at 620 nm and 665 nm simultaneously. A 337 nm nitrogen laser was used for excitation. The ratio between the signal of 620 nm and 665 nm was used to calculate the IC50.

  • Wash cells with D-PBS and plate 2.5×105/0.25 ml/well in 96 well plates in 10% FBS RPMI media supplemented with Penicillin-Streptomycin and 2 mM L-Glutamine. Grow cells overnight in 37° C. CO2 incubator. Pre-incubate cells and inhibitors in 1% DMSO/media 0.5% FBS for about 30 minutes. Apply Lipopolysaccharide Escherichia coli (1 μg/ml, Calbiochem, La Jolla, Calif., Catalog Number 437625) and stimulate cells 2 hours in 37° C. CO2 incubator.
  • Harvest Supernates for Cytokine Analysis:
      • Spin plate(s) in a centrifuge at 180 g for about 10 minutes with no brake to pellet cells.
      • Remove 50 uL/well supernate for cytokine analysis.
  • To measure mTNF cytokine levels, use R & D Systems Catalog Number MTA00 ELISA kits. Calculate TNF IC50.
    • LPS Induced TNF and IL-1β in Differentiated Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC)
  • PBMCs are prepared from leukopaks and stored frozen in vials in liquid nitrogen freezer.
  • Thaw PBMCs and plate in 48 well plates at 2×106 cells per well in 400 μl media (RPMI+2% Hu ab serum+Penicillin/Streptomycin+L-glutamine+non-essential amino acids+Hepes+SOng/ml Recombinant Human MCSF). Incubate 24 h at 37° C. 5% CO2. Wash cells 3× with media (no MCSF). In separate 48 well plate, dilute compounds in Media+2% Hu ab serum. For compounds at 10 mM add 10 ul of the compound to 990 μl media then do 1:5 serial dilutions in Media+1% DMSO 200 μl+800 μl media.
  • Remove media from cells and add 250 μl of compound dilutions in duplicate wells of 48 well plates of cells. To negative and positive control wells, add 250 μl media+1% DMSO. Incubate for about 30 minutes 37° C. 5% CO2. Stimulate cells with 10 ng/ml LPS for 3 h 30′ at 37° C. 5% CO2. LPS stock 500 μg/ml: dilute stock 1:5000 in media then add 25 μl to each well except negative controls which get media alone. Incubate for about 3 hours 30 minutes at 37° C. 5% CO2.
  • Add Nigericin (Sigma Cat. # N-7143 FW=747):

  • Compounds of formula I may have therapeutic utility in the treatment of diseases involving both identified, including those not mentioned herein, and as yet unidentified protein tyrosine kinases which are inhibited by compounds of formula I. All compounds exemplified herein significantly inhibit either COT or MK2 at concentrations of 50 micromolar or below.
    • In Vivo Models In Vivo Inhibition of LPS-Induced Cytokines
  • Mice are injected i.v. with LPS (from Escherichia coli Serotype 0111:B4, Sigma #L-4130), dissolved in saline. In order to monitor TNF-α production, 0.1 mpk LPS is given and to measure IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6, and IL-12, 5mpk LPS is given. The mice are then cardiac bled for serum at the appropriate time points listed below. The animals are bled at 90 minutes for TNF-α or at 4 hours for IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6, IL-12, then the serum cytokine levels are measured by ELISA. In compound efficacy studies, the compound is dosed either p.o. or i.p. one hour prior to the LPS injection and the levels of target cytokines are measured and compared with those obtained for the control group in order to calculate ED50 levels.
  • Compounds can also be tested in animal models of human disease. These are exemplified by experimental auto-immune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). EAE models which mimic aspects of human multiple sclerosis have been described in both rats and mice (reviewed FASEB J. 5:2560-2566, 1991; murine model: Lab. Invest. 4(3):278, 1981; rodent model: J. Immunol. 146(4):1163-8, 1991). Briefly, mice or rats are immunized with an emulsion of myelin basic protein (MBP), or neurogenic peptide derivatives thereof, and CFA. Acute disease can be induced with the addition of bacterial toxins such as bordetella pertussis. Relapsing/remitting disease is induced by adoptive transfer of T-cells from MBP/peptide immunized animals.
  • CIA may be induced in DBA/1 mice by immunization with type II collagen (J. Immunol:142(7):2237-2243). Mice will develop signs of arthritis as early as ten days following antigen challenge and may be scored for as long as ninety days after immunization. In both the EAE and CIA models, a compound may be administered either prophylactically or at the time of disease onset. Efficacious drugs should reduce severity and/or incidence.
  • Certain compounds of this invention which inhibit one or more angiogenic receptor PTK, and/or a protein kinase such as lck involved in mediating inflammatory responses can reduce the severity and incidence of arthritis in these models.

    General Procedure B: Formation of an Amide from Carboxylic Acid and Amine
  • Figure US20120053345A1-20120301-C00107
  • To a mixture of a carboxylic acid (1-2.5 equivalents, preferably 1-1.5 equivalents) and an amine (1-2.5 equivalents, preferably 1-1.5 equivalents) in an organic solvent (for example, THF, EtOAc, Et2O, or DMF, preferably DMF) is added the coupling reagent (for example, DCC, DIC, EDC, HBTU, HATU or TFFH, preferably HBTU) (1-5 equivalents, preferably 1.2 equivalents), with or without a coupling additive (for example, HOBT or HOAT, preferably HOBT) (0.1-5 equivalents, preferably 0.2 equivalents) and, optionally, DIEA (0.1-25 equivalents, preferably 3 equivalents). The reaction mixture is stirred at about 20-70° C. (preferably about 50° C.) for about 5-40 hours (preferably about 35 hours) and then cooled to ambient temperature. The reaction mixture can be purified in three different ways: 1). The reaction mixture is treated with MP-carbonate (3-10 equivalents, preferably 5 equivalents) with or without methanol. After about 4-48 hours (preferably about 14 hours), the reaction solution is separated from the resin by filtration and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude product that can be further purified by crystallization or chromatography. If the product precipitates prior to filtration of the resin, the suspension containing the product is separated from the resin via pipette and filtered to afford the crude product that can be further purified by crystallization or chromatography. 2). The reaction mixture is partitioned between water and an organic solvent (for example, CH2Cl2, EtOAc or Et2O, preferably CH2Cl2). The organic layer is separated and the aqueous layer is further extracted with organic solvent. The combined organic extracts are dried over a desiccant and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the product that can be further purified by crystallization or chromatography. 3). The reaction mixture is directly concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by crystallization or chromatography.

The reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by preparative HPLC (Waters Symmetry C8 column (25×100 mm, 7 μm particle size) using a gradient of 10%-100% CH3CN/0.1% aqueous TFA over 8 min (10 min run time) at a flow rate of 40 mL/min). Product fractions were combined and concentrated to remove organic solvents and then lyophilized to yield N-benzyl 5-(5-amino-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-3-yl)-1H-indazole-7-carboxamide acetate (10 mg, 23%) as an off-white powder; RP-HPLC (Table 1, Method e) Rt 1.94 min; m/z: (M−H)− 381.

    General Procedure C: Formation of an Amide from Carboxylic Acid and Amine Using Si-DCT
  • Figure US20120053345A1-20120301-C00263
  • In a 20 mL vial, a solution of N-methylmorpholine (2-5 equivalents, preferably 4 equivalents) in an organic solvent (for example, THF, CH2Cl2, CH3CN, or CH3CN/CH2Cl2 1:1) is added to Si-dichlorotriazine (Si-DCT) (2-4 equivalents, preferably 3 equivalents). A solution of the carboxylic acid (1.1-2.5 equivalents, preferably 1.25 equivalents) in an organic solvent (for example, THF, CH2Cl2, CH3CN, or 1:1 CH3CN/CH2Cl2, preferably 1:1 CH3CN/CH2Cl2) is added and mixed for about 1 min. A solution of the amine (1 equivalent) in an organic solvent (for example, THF, CH2Cl2, CH3CN, or 1:1 CH3CN/CH2Cl2, preferably 1:1 CH3CN/CH2Cl2) is then added. The reaction is shaken at about 10-60° C., preferably about ambient temperature, for about 10-24 hours, preferably about 16 hours. The crude reaction solution is mixed with DMF, eluted through a Si-carbonate (1 g, 6 mL) cartridge with additional organic solvent (for example, MeOH), and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product can then be further purified by crystallization or chromatography.

  • In a 20 mL vial, a solution of N-methylmorpholine (0.060 g, 0.60 mmol) in MeCN/CH2Cl2 (1:1, 0.688 mL) was added to Si-dichlorotriazine (SiliCycle, Inc; 0.60 mmol/g, 0.74 g, 0.44 mmol). Then, a solution of 2-furoic acid (0.021 g, 0.19 mmol) in MeCN (0.925 mL) was added and mixed for about 1 min., prior to the addition of a solution of 7-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl-1H-indazol-5-ylamine (Example #F.8.1, 0.039 g, 0.15 mmol) in MeCN/CH2Cl2 (1:1, 0.688 mL). The reaction mixture was shaken at ambient temperature for about 16 hours. The crude reaction solution was mixed with DMF (5 mL) to aid in solubility, eluted through a Si-carbonate (SiliCycle, Inc; 1 g, 6 mL) cartridge using MeOH (approx 3 mL), and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was then purified by preparative HPLC (Waters Symmetry C8 column (25×100 mm, 7 μm particle size) using a gradient of 10%-100% CH3CN/0.1% aqueous TFA over 8 min (10 min run time) at a flow rate of 40 mL/min) to afford furan-2-carboxylic acid (7-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl-1H-indazol-5-yl)-amide (0.0025 g, 4.7%); RP-HPLC (Table 1, Method l) Rt 2.51 min; m/z: (M+H)+ 360.

A second crop was obtained by triturating the alumina in CH2Cl2/MeOH (8:2) and combined with the first to afford 7-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl-1H-indazol-5-yl)-(2-methanesulfonyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)-amine (1.09 g, 36% yield): LC/MS (method e) Rt 1.8 min; m/z (ESI−): (M−H)+ 419.9.

Additional acetic acid (1-10 equivalents, preferably 3 equivalents) is added to progress the reaction when necessary. The resulting mixture is allowed to stir at room temperature for 2-112 hours (preferably 24 hours). The reaction mixture is purified in one of two ways: 1). The reaction solution is treated with an aqueous solution of an appropriate base (for example NaOH, NaHCO3, or Na2CO3, preferably NaHCO3) and an organic solvent (for example, CH2Cl2 or EtOAc, preferably CH2Cl2). The two layers are stirred for about 15 minutes then separated. The organic phase is concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product can be purified by trituration with an appropriate solvent (water, EtOH, toluene, or EtOAc, preferably EtOH) or by chromatography, or 2). The reaction mixture is directly concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by chromatography, trituration, or crystallization.

    • General Procedure P. Deprotection of a Methyl-Protected Alcohol Using Boron Tribromide
  • To a suspension of a methyl-protected alcohol in an organic solvent (1,2-dichloroethane or CH2Cl2, preferably 1,2-dichloroethane) is added a solution of BBr3 (8-20 equivalents, preferably 10 equivalents) in CH2Cl2. The reaction mixture is stirred at about −10 to 5° C. (preferably about 0° C.) for about 0.5-3 hours (preferably about 2 hours), then heated at about 30-100° C. (preferably about 80° C.) for about 2-8 hours (preferably about 3 hours). The reaction mixture can be treated in two different ways: 1). The reaction mixture is allowed to cool to about −10-10° C. (preferably about 0° C.) and quenched with an aqueous solution (for example, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 or Na2CO3, preferably NaHCO3) and extracted with an organic solvent (EtOAc, Et2O, or CH2Cl2, preferably CH2Cl2). The residue is partitioned between water and an organic solvent. The organic layer is separated and the aqueous layer further extracted with the organic solvent. The combined organic extracts are dried over a desiccant and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. 2). The reaction mixture can be cooled down to room temperature and diluted with MeOH then the solvents are removed under reduced pressure. The compound can be further purified by chromatography or crystallization.

  • To a solution of an ester in an organic solvent (for example, THF, MeOH, or 1,4-dioxane, preferably 1,4-dioxane) at about 10-50° C. (preferably about 25° C.) is added an aqueous base solution (for example, Na2CO3, NaOH or KOH, preferably Na2CO3) (3-20 equivalents, preferably 5 equivalents). The mixture is stirred at about 10-80° C. (preferably about 25° C.) for about 0.5-2 hours (preferably about 1 hour). The mixture is acidified with an acid (preferably 1M HCl solution) to about pH 3. If a precipitation is formed it is filtered off and washed with water. If no precipitation is formed the solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the residue is partitioned between an aqueous acidic solution (for example HCl) and an organic solvent (for example EtOAc or CH2Cl2, preferable CH2Cl2). The organic layer is separated and the aqueous layer is further extracted with an organic solvent. The combined organic extracts are dried over a desiccant. The solvents are removed under reduced pressure to afford the product which can be further purified by crystallization or chromatography.
