Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel compounds, their pharmaceutical compositions, and their methods of use.
  • the present invention relates to therapeutic methods for the treatment and prevention of cancers and to use of such compounds in the manufacture of medicaments for use in the treatment and prevention of cancers.
  • Apoptosis is the process by which a cell undergoes programmed cell death in response to nutrient deprivation, stress signals, death receptor signaling, DNA damage, treatment with novel targeted or cytotoxic agents or other insults from the external environment.
  • Two forms of apoptosis have been identified: the intrinsic or mitochondrial pathway involving members of the BCL2 family of proteins and BH3 only proteins, and the extrinsic pathway where signals from death domain containing receptors trigger the activation of the caspase cascade via regulation of members of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family of proteins.
  • IAP inhibitor of apoptosis
  • the BCL2 family of BH-3 containing proteins comprising Bcl-2, Bcl-X L , Mcl-1, Bcl-w and Bcl-A1 (also known as Bfl-1), is a family of adaptor molecules involved in regulating the control of mitochondrial apoptosis in a variety of different cell types (reviewed in (1)).
  • BCL2 family members are generally considered to be anti-apoptotic because they bind to and counteract the activity of pro-apoptotic members of the BH3-only family, including Bim, tBid, and Puma, and the multidomain effector proteins Bak and Bax.
  • Bim and tBid in turn facilitate the oligomerization and activation of Bak and Bax to form a pore in the outer mitochondrial membrane through which Smac and cytochrome c are released into the cytosol.
  • the release of cytochrome c triggers activation of the caspase cascade via formation of a complex with Apaf-1, termed the apoptosome, ultimately leading to apoptotic cell death.
  • Another group of BH3-only proteins, the “sentinels” are upregulated by a variety of transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms in response to the pro-apoptotic triggers mentioned above.
  • the anti-apoptotic BCL2 family members are often found to be up-regulated in cancers and have been associated both with stage of disease and prognosis.
  • Over-expression of Bcl-2, Bcl-X L and Mcl-1 has been linked to resistance to common therapeutic agents and strategies that target BCL2 family members can restore sensitivity to cytotoxic agents by reinstating the ability of the tumor cell to undergo apoptosis.
  • a translocation, t(14;18)(q32;q31) involving Bcl2 and IGH leads to over-expression of the Bcl-2 protein and is commonly found in tumors of hematological origin including non Hodgkin's Lymphomas (2-4).
  • BCL2 family expression is often de-regulated (2,3,5-8).
  • Amplifications of Bcl-X L and Mcl-1 are also commonly seen in many tumor types (9-11) for example by activation of NFkB or by suppression of certain microRNAs (12).
  • Bcl-2 expression is an independent indicator of poor prognosis.
  • CLL chronic lymphocytic leukemia
  • SCLC small cell lung cancer
  • prostate cancer 17
  • Bcl-2 expression is an independent indicator of poor prognosis.
  • Bcl-X L expression is linked to grade and stage (18) and in hepatocellular cancer Bcl-X L expression is an independent marker of poorer overall and disease-free survival (19).
  • Mcl-1 expression has also been linked to stage in CLL and to prognosis, for example in myeloma, melanoma, ovarian and gastric tumors (20-22).
  • Redundancy has been seen among members of the BCL2 family and is believed to account at least in part for resistance to the BH3-mimetic compounds that target Bcl-2, Bcl-X L , Bcl-w, and Bcl-A1, but not Mcl-1 (23-26).
  • a combination of a selective BH-3 mimetic with another agent that targets the Bim/Noxa/Mcl-1 axis may be desirable to ensure apoptosis induction and tumor regression.
  • agents include but are not limited to cytotoxic chemotherapeutics, proteasome inhibitors, EGFR inhibitors, and MEk/ERK pathway inhibitors.

  • Step 3 To a solution of (S)-tert-butyl 3-((N-ethylacetamido)methyl)morpholine-4-carboxylate (INTERMEDIATE 86A, Step 2, 0.04 g, 0.14 mmol) and diphenylsilane (0.052 ml, 0.28 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.345 ml) at rt was added carbonyltris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I)hydride (6.42 mg, 6.98 ⁇ mol). After a brief surge of gas evolution, the now yellow reaction was stirred for 30 min and then quenched with 1N aqueous hydrogen chloride.
  • Step 4 To (S)-tert-butyl 3-((diethylamino)methyl)morpholine-4-carboxylate (0.348 g, 1.28 mmol INTERMEDIATE 86A, Step 3) was added 32 wt % hydrochloric acid in water (1.5 ml, 15.80 mmol). After gas evolution ceased, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting yellow residue was treated with 5% methanol in dichloromethane and reconcentrated ( ⁇ 3) to afford (S)—N-ethyl-N-(morpholin-3-ylmethyl)ethanamine hydrochloride salt (INTERMEDIATE 86, yield: almost quantitative).
  • the reaction mixture was diluted with DCM (50 ml) and washed successively with water (2 ⁇ 50 ml) and brine (50 ml). The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrate was purified by column chromatography (ISCO, eluting with 0 ⁇ 20 MeOH/DCM over 19 minutes) to give the title product (100 mg, yield: 42.5%).
