  • This invention is further directed to N-(6-(tert-butylsulfonyl)-7-methoxyquinazolin-4-yl)benzo[d]thiazol-5-amine or a salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof.
  • Specifically, this invention is directed to 2-((4-(benzo[d]thiazol-5-ylamino)-6-(tert-butylsulfonyl)quinazolin-7-yl)oxy)ethanol or a salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof.
  • Accordingly, a compound of the invention includes a compound of Formula (I), or a salt thereof, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
  • Accordingly, a compound of the invention includes a compound of Formula (I), particularly the specific compounds described herein, or a salt thereof, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In one embodiment, the invention is directed to a method of inhibiting RIP2 kinase comprising contacting a cell with a compound of the invention. In another embodiment, the invention is directed to a method of treating a RIP2 kinase-mediated disease or disorder comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention to a human in need thereof. The invention is still further directed to the use of a compound of the invention or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention to inhibit RIP2 kinase and/or treat a RIP2 kinase-mediated disease or disorder.
  • The compounds according to Formula (I) may contain one or more asymmetric center (also referred to as a chiral center) and may, therefore, exist as individual enantiomers, diastereomers, or other stereoisomeric forms, or as mixtures thereof. Chiral centers, such as a chiral carbon, or particularly, a chiral —SO— moiety, may also be present in the compounds of this invention. Where the stereochemistry of a chiral center present in a compound of this invention (e.g., compound name) or in any chemical structure illustrated herein is not specified, the compound, compound name, or structure is intended to encompass all individual stereoisomers and all mixtures thereof. Thus, compounds according to Formula (I) containing one or more chiral center may be present as racemic mixtures, enantiomerically enriched mixtures, or as enantiomerically pure individual stereoisomers. For example, each of (R)—N-(6-(tert-butylsulfinyl)-7-methoxyquinazolin-4-yl)benzo[d]thiazol-5-amine and (S)—N-(6-(tert-butylsulfinyl)-7-methoxyquinazolin-4-yl)benzo[d]thiazol-5-amine are encompassed by the chemical name N-(6-(tert-butylsulfinyl)-7-methoxyquinazolin-4-yl)benzo[d]thiazol-5-amine.
  • Individual stereoisomers of a compound according to Formula (I) which contain one or more asymmetric center may be resolved by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, such resolution may be carried out (1) by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, complexes or other derivatives; (2) by selective reaction with a stereoisomer-specific reagent, for example by enzymatic oxidation or reduction; or (3) by gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example, on a chiral support such as silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. The skilled artisan will appreciate that where the desired stereoisomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired form. Alternatively, specific stereoisomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer to the other by asymmetric transformation.
  • It is to be understood that a solid form of a compound of the invention may exist in crystalline forms, non-crystalline forms or a mixture thereof. Such crystalline forms may also exhibit polymorphism (i.e. the capacity to occur in different crystalline forms). These different crystalline forms are typically known as “polymorphs.” Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometrical arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, may have different physical properties such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns, which may be used for identification. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that different polymorphs may be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the conditions used in crystallizing/recrystallizing the compound.
  • Because of their potential use in medicine, the salts of the compounds of Formula (I) are preferably pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those described by Berge, Bighley and Monkhouse J.Pharm.Sci (1977) 66, pp 1-19. Salts encompassed within the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to non-toxic salts of the compounds of this invention.
  • When a compound of the invention is a base (contains a basic moiety), a desired salt form may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art, including treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and the like, or with a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, or with an alpha-hydroxy acid, such as citric acid or tartaric acid, or with an amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, or with an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid or cinnamic acid, or with a sulfonic acid, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid or the like.
  • Suitable addition salts include acetate, p-aminobenzoate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bicarbonate, bismethylenesalicylate, bisulfate, bitartrate, borate, calcium edetate, camsylate, carbonate, clavulanate, citrate, cyclohexylsulfamate, edetate, edisylate, estolate, esylate, ethanedisulfonate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glutamate, glycollate, glycollylarsanilate, hexylresorcinate, hydrabamine, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, dihydrochloride, hydrofumarate, hydrogen phosphate, hydroiodide, hydromaleate, hydrosuccinate, hydroxynaphthoate, isethionate, itaconate, lactate, lactobionate, laurate, malate, maleate, mandelate, mesylate, methylsulfate, monopotassium maleate, mucate, napsylate, nitrate, N-methylglucamine, oxalate, oxaloacetate, pamoate (embonate), palmate, palmitate, pantothenate, phosphate/diphosphate, pyruvate, polygalacturonate, propionate, saccharate, salicylate, stearate, subacetate, succinate, sulfate, tannate, tartrate, teoclate, tosylate, triethiodide, trifluoroacetate and valerate.
  • Other exemplary acid addition salts include pyrosulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, decanoate, caprylate, acrylate, isobutyrate, caproate, heptanoate, propiolate, oxalate, malonate, suberate, sebacate, butyne-1,4-dioate, hexyne-1,6-dioate, chlorobenzoate, methylbenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, hydroxybenzoate, methoxybenzoate, phthalate, phenylacetate, phenylpropionate, phenylbutrate, lactate, γ-hydroxybutyrate, mandelate, and sulfonates, such as xylenesulfonate, propanesulfonate, naphthalene-1-sulfonate and naphthalene-2-sulfonate.
  • If an inventive basic compound is isolated as a salt, the corresponding free base form of that compound may be prepared by any suitable method known to the art, including treatment of the salt with an inorganic or organic base, suitably an inorganic or organic base having a higher pKa than the free base form of the compound.
  • When a compound of the invention is an acid (contains an acidic moiety), a desired salt may be prepared by any suitable method known to the art, including treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base, such as an amine (primary, secondary, or tertiary), an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, or the like. Illustrative examples of suitable salts include organic salts derived from amino acids such as glycine and arginine, ammonia, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, and cyclic amines, such as N-methyl-D-glucamine, diethylamine, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, ethylene diamine, dicyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, piperidine, morpholine, and piperazine, as well as inorganic salts derived from sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, and lithium.
  • Certain of the compounds of the invention may form salts with one or more equivalents of an acid (if the compound contains a basic moiety) or a base (if the compound contains an acidic moiety). The present invention includes within its scope all possible stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric salt forms.
  • Compounds of the invention having both a basic and acidic moiety may be in the form of zwitterions, acid-addition salt of the basic moiety or base salts of the acidic moiety.
  • This invention also provides for the conversion of one pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of this invention into another pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of this invention.
  • For solvates of the compounds of Formula (I), including solvates of salts of the compounds of Formula (I), that are in crystalline form, the skilled artisan will appreciate that pharmaceutically acceptable solvates may be formed wherein solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystalline lattice during crystallization. Solvates may involve nonaqueous solvents such as ethanol, isopropanol, DMSO, acetic acid, ethanolamine, and EtOAc, or they may involve water as the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice. Solvates wherein water is the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice are typically referred to as “hydrates.” Hydrates include stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containing variable amounts of water. The invention includes all such solvates, particularly hydrates. It is to be understood that the term “a salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof, or hydrate thereof” encompasses a salt of a compound of Formula (I), a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I), a hydrate of a compound of Formula (I), a hydrate of a salt of a compound of Formula (I), and a hydrate of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I).
  • Because the compounds of Formula (I) are intended for use in pharmaceutical compositions it will readily be understood that they are each preferably provided in substantially pure form, for example at least 60% pure, more suitably at least 75% pure and preferably at least 85%, especially at least 98% pure (% are on a weight for weight basis). Impure preparations of the compounds may be used for preparing the more pure forms used in the pharmaceutical compositions.
    • General Synthetic Methods
  • The compounds of Formula (I) may be obtained by using synthetic procedures illustrated in the Schemes below or by drawing on the knowledge of a skilled organic chemist. The syntheses provided in these Schemes are applicable for producing compounds of the invention having a variety of different substituent groups employing appropriate precursors, which are suitably protected if needed, to achieve compatibility with the reactions outlined herein. Subsequent deprotection, where needed, affords compounds of the nature generally disclosed. While the Schemes are shown with compounds only of Formula (I), they are illustrative of processes that may be used to make the compounds of the invention.
  • Intermediates (compounds used in the preparation of the compounds of the invention) may also be present as salts. Thus, in reference to intermediates, the phrase “compound(s) of formula (number)” means a compound having that structural formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
  • 4-Chloroquinazoline intermediates may be from the appropriately functionalized nitrobenzoic acid via reduction of the nitro group to an aniline followed by condensation with formamide or formimamide and cyclization to the 4-quinazolinone.

  • Palladium catalyzed coupling of the iodoquinazolines with thiols may provide 6-alkylthioquinazolines which could be final products, or further subjected to oxidation with Oxone to afford the corresponding sulfone final products. Sulfoxides may also be obtained by this route through carefully monitoring the reaction. Additionally, any sulfides at R3 may be oxidized to sulfones in this manner.
  • Figure US20180258056A1-20180913-C00011
  • Substitution at C6 could also be installed prior to installation of the “A” moiety. A palladium catalyzed coupling of a thiol with the 6-iodoquinazolinone can provide a sulfide which can subsequently be oxidized to the sulfone. Chlorination with POCl3 or SOCl2 may provide the 4-chloroquinazoline.
  • Figure US20180258056A1-20180913-C00012
  • Anilines/amines could be reacted with 4-chloro-quinazolines under basic or acidic conditions to afford 4-aminoquinazolines which could be final compounds or used as intermediates for further synthesis.

  • Additional alkoxy substitution at C7 can be installed by alkylation of the 7-hydroxyquinazoline. In some cases, alkylation of the secondary amine may be observed. When Boc-protected haloalkylamines are used, a subsequent step with treatment of HCl is necessary to remove the Boc protecting group.
  • Figure US20180258056A1-20180913-C00015
  • In select cases, the sulfide at C6 could be installed while dealkylating C7 methoxyquinazoline with the appropriate sodium alkylthiolate. Final product may be obtained following alkylation of the resultant C7 hydroxyl and oxidation to the sulfone.

  • 5-Fluoro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-amine may be synthesized from 2-chloro-5-fluoro-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid. Formation of the acylchloride followed by the addition of ammonia can provide the amide which may be subsequently converted to the nitrile. Treatment with hydrazine may provide the azaindazole.

  • “A” groups may be installed via a C4 sulfide intermediate. Treatment of the 4-chloro-7-methoxyquinazolines with sodium ethanethiolate provides the 4-ethylsulfide-7-hydroxyquinoazolines. These 4-alkythio-quinazoline intermediates may be directly treated with an excess of amine (A-NH2) under acidic microwave conditions to provide final products.
  • Alternatively, the intermediates could be alkylated at R3 to afford the hydroxyethyl ethers before undergoing reaction with amine (A-NH2).
  • Figure US20180258056A1-20180913-C00023

  • The compounds of this invention may be particularly useful for treatment of RIP2 kinase-mediated diseases or disorders, particularly, uveitis, interleukin-1 converting enzyme (ICE, also known as Caspase-1) associated fever syndrome, dermatitis, acute lung injury, type 2 diabetes mellitus, arthritis (specifically rheumatoid arthritis), inflammatory bowel disorders (such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), early-onset and extra-intestinal inflammatory bowel disease, prevention of ischemia reperfusion injury in solid organs (specifically kidney) in response ischemia induced by cardiac surgery, organ transplant, sepsis and other insults, liver diseases (non-alcohol steatohepatitis, alcohol steatohepatitis, and autoimmune hepatitis), allergic diseases (such as asthma), transplant reactions (such as graft versus host disease), autoimmune diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis), and granulomateous disorders (such as sarcoidosis, Blau syndrome, early-onset sarcoidosis, Wegner's granulomatosis, and interstitial pulmonary disease).
  • The compounds of this invention may be particularly useful in the treatment of uveitis, ICE fever, Blau Syndrome, early-onset sarcoidosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, Wegener's granulamatosis and sarcoidosis.
  • Treatment of RIP2 kinase-mediated diseases or disorders, or more broadly, treatment of immune mediated diseases including, but not limited to, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases, prevention of transplant rejection and the like, may be achieved using a compound of this invention as a monotherapy, or in dual or multiple combination therapy, particularly for the treatment of refractory cases, such as in combination with other anti-inflammatory and/or anti-TNF agents, which may be administered in therapeutically effective amounts as is known in the art.
  • For example, the compounds of this invention may be administered in combination with corticosteroids and/or anti-TNF agents to treat Blau syndrome, early-onset sarcoidosis; or in combination with anti-TNF biologics or other anti-inflammatory biologics to treat Crohn's Disease; or in combination with 5-ASA (mesalamine) or sulfasalazine to treat ulcerative colitis; or in combination with low-dose corticosteroids and/or methotrexate to treat Wegener's granulamatosis or sarcoidosis or interstitial pulmonary disease; or in combination with a biologic (e.g. anti-TNF, anti-IL-6, etc.) to treat rheumatoid arthritis; or in combination with anti-IL6 and/or methotrexate to treat ICE fever.
  • Examples of suitable anti-inflammatory agents include corticosteroids, particularly low-dose corticosteroids (such as Deltasone® (prednisone)) and anti-inflammatory biologics (such as Acterma® (anti-IL6R mAb) and Rituximab® (anti-CD20 mAb)). Examples of suitable anti-TNF agents include anti-TNF biologics (such as Enbrel® (etanecerpt)), Humira® (adalimumab), Remicade® (infliximab) and Simponi® (golimumab)).
  • This invention also provides a compound of Formula (I), or a salt thereof, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in therapy. This invention specifically provides for the use of a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as an active therapeutic substance in the treatment of a RIP2 kinase-mediated disease or disorder, for example the diseases and disorders recited herein; more specifically, for use in the treatment of a disease mediated by inhibition of RIP2 kinase.
  • The invention also provides for the use of a compound of Formula (I), or a salt thereof, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the treatment of a RIP2 kinase-mediated disease or disorder, for example the diseases and disorders recited herein.
  • A therapeutically “effective amount” is intended to mean that amount of a compound that, when administered to a patient in need of such treatment, is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined herein. Thus, e.g., a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is a quantity of an inventive agent that, when administered to a human in need thereof, is sufficient to modulate or inhibit the activity of RIP2 kinase such that a disease condition which is mediated by that activity is reduced, alleviated or prevented. The amount of a given compound that will correspond to such an amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound (e.g., the potency (pIC50), efficacy (EC50), and the biological half-life of the particular compound), disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., age, size and weight) of the patient in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art. Likewise, the duration of treatment and the time period of administration (time period between dosages and the timing of the dosages, e.g., before/with/after meals) of the compound will vary according to the identity of the mammal in need of treatment (e.g., weight), the particular compound and its properties (e.g., pharmaceutical characteristics), disease or disorder and its severity and the specific composition and method being used, but can nevertheless be determined by one of skill in the art.
  • “Treating” or “treatment” is intended to mean at least the mitigation of a disease or disorder in a patient. The methods of treatment for mitigation of a disease or disorder include the use of the compounds in this invention in any conventionally acceptable manner, for example for prevention, retardation, prophylaxis, therapy or cure of a mediated disease or disorder. Specific diseases and disorders that may be particularly susceptible to treatment using a compound of this invention are described herein.
  • The compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable route of administration, including both systemic administration and topical administration. Systemic administration includes oral administration, parenteral administration, transdermal administration, rectal administration, and administration by inhalation. Parenteral administration refers to routes of administration other than enteral, transdermal, or by inhalation, and is typically by injection or infusion. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injection or infusion. Inhalation refers to administration into the patient's lungs whether inhaled through the mouth or through the nasal passages. Topical administration includes application to the skin.
  • The compounds of the invention may be administered once or according to a dosing regimen wherein a number of doses are administered at varying intervals of time for a given period of time. For example, doses may be administered one, two, three, or four times per day. Doses may be administered until the desired therapeutic effect is achieved or indefinitely to maintain the desired therapeutic effect. Suitable dosing regimens for a compound of the invention depend on the pharmacokinetic properties of that compound, such as absorption, distribution, and half-life, which can be determined by the skilled artisan. In addition, suitable dosing regimens, including the duration such regimens are administered, for a compound of the invention depend on the disease or disorder being treated, the severity of the disease or disorder being treated, the age and physical condition of the patient being treated, the medical history of the patient to be treated, the nature of concurrent therapy, the desired therapeutic effect, and like factors within the knowledge and expertise of the skilled artisan. It will be further understood by such skilled artisans that suitable dosing regimens may require adjustment given an individual patient's response to the dosing regimen or over time as individual patient needs change.
  • For use in therapy, the compounds of the invention will be normally, but not necessarily, formulated into a pharmaceutical composition prior to administration to a patient. Accordingly, the invention also is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
  • The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in bulk form wherein an effective amount of a compound of the invention can be extracted and then given to the patient such as with powders, syrups, and solutions for injection. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in unit dosage form. For oral application, for example, one or more tablets or capsules may be administered. A dose of the pharmaceutical composition contains at least a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of this invention (i.e., a compound of Formula (I), or a salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof). When prepared in unit dosage form, the pharmaceutical compositions may contain from 1 mg to 1000 mg of a compound of this invention.
  • The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention typically contain one compound of the invention. However, in certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention contain more than one compound of the invention. In addition, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may optionally further comprise one or more additional pharmaceutically active compounds.
  • As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” means a material, composition or vehicle involved in giving form or consistency to the composition. Each excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition when commingled such that interactions which would substantially reduce the efficacy of the compound of the invention when administered to a patient and interactions which would result in pharmaceutical compositions that are not pharmaceutically acceptable are avoided. In addition, each excipient must of course be of sufficiently high purity to render it pharmaceutically acceptable.
  • The compounds of the invention and the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or excipients will typically be formulated into a dosage form adapted for administration to the patient by the desired route of administration. Conventional dosage forms include those adapted for (1) oral administration such as tablets, capsules, caplets, pills, troches, powders, syrups, elixirs, suspensions, solutions, emulsions, sachets, and cachets; (2) parenteral administration such as sterile solutions, suspensions, and powders for reconstitution; (3) transdermal administration such as transdermal patches; (4) rectal administration such as suppositories; (5) inhalation such as aerosols and solutions; and (6) topical administration such as creams, ointments, lotions, solutions, pastes, sprays, foams, and gels.
  • Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients will vary depending upon the particular dosage form chosen. In addition, suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for a particular function that they may serve in the composition. For example, certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of uniform dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of stable dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the carrying or transporting the compound or compounds of the invention once administered to the patient from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to enhance patient compliance.
  • Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients include the following types of excipients: diluents, fillers, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, glidants, granulating agents, coating agents, wetting agents, solvents, co-solvents, suspending agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, flavoring agents, flavor masking agents, coloring agents, anti-caking agents, humectants, chelating agents, plasticizers, viscosity increasing agents, antioxidants, preservatives, stabilizers, surfactants, and buffering agents. The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may serve more than one function and may serve alternative functions depending on how much of the excipient is present in the formulation and what other ingredients are present in the formulation.
  • Skilled artisans possess the knowledge and skill in the art to enable them to select suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients in appropriate amounts for use in the invention. In addition, there are a number of resources that are available to the skilled artisan which describe pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and may be useful in selecting suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Examples include Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company), The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives (Gower Publishing Limited), and The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (the American Pharmaceutical Association and the Pharmaceutical Press).
  • The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are prepared using techniques and methods known to those skilled in the art. Some of the methods commonly used in the art are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company).
  • In one aspect, the invention is directed to a solid oral dosage form such as a tablet or capsule comprising an effective amount of a compound of the invention and a diluent or filler. Suitable diluents and fillers include lactose, sucrose, dextrose, mannitol, sorbitol, starch (e.g. corn starch, potato starch, and pre-gelatinized starch), cellulose and its derivatives (e.g. microcrystalline cellulose), calcium sulfate, and dibasic calcium phosphate. The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a binder. Suitable binders include starch (e.g. corn starch, potato starch, and pre-gelatinized starch), gelatin, acacia, sodium alginate, alginic acid, tragacanth, guar gum, povidone, and cellulose and its derivatives (e.g. microcrystalline cellulose). The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a disintegrant. Suitable disintegrants include crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, croscarmelose, alginic acid, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a lubricant.
  • Suitable lubricants include stearic acid, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, and talc.
    • EXAMPLES
  • The following examples illustrate the invention. These examples are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but rather to provide guidance to the skilled artisan to prepare and use the compounds, compositions, and methods of the present invention. While particular embodiments of the present invention are described, the skilled artisan will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
  • The invention also includes various deuterated forms of the compounds of Formula (I). Each available hydrogen atom attached to a carbon atom may be independently replaced with a deuterium atom. A person of ordinary skill in the art will know how to synthesize deuterated forms of the compounds of Formula (I). For example, deuterated pyrazole alkyl groups or deuterated alkyl-thioquinazolines or alkyl-sulfonylquinazolines may be prepared by conventional techniques (see for example: according to the method of Preparation 7 using iodomethane-d3, available from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis., Cat. No. 176036, or the method of Scheme 13 using methane-d3-thiol, Cat. No. 614904, respectively). Employing such compounds will allow for the preparation of compounds of Formula (I) in which various hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium atoms. Halogen substitution on the quinazoline core may also be converted the deuterated form via a lithium halogen exchange followed by a quench with MeOH-d4.

  • 5-(Methylthio)-2-nitrobenzoic acid (1.0 g, 4.7 mmol), zinc (1.8 g, 28 mmol), and MeOH (38 mL) were purged with nitrogen for 10 min and cooled to 0° C. Ammonium formate (2.96 g, 46.9 mmol) was added in several portions and the reaction was left to stir at rt overnight. After 18 h, the milky-white reaction was diluted with acetone and filtered. The solid was collected and placed in a round bottom flask with formamide (9.35 mL, 235 mmol). The reaction was heated to 150° C. for 30 min. After cooling to rt, the mixture was partitioned between satd. NaHCO3 and Et2O. The aqueous layer was extracted with Et2O (5×).

Full length FLAG His tagged RIPK2 was purified from a Baculovirus expression system and was used at a final assay concentration of twice the KDapparent. A fluorescent labeled ligand (5-({[2-({[3-({4-[(5-hydroxy-2-methylphenyl)amino]-2-pyrimidinyl)}amino)phenyl]carbonyl}amino)ethyl]amino}carbonyl)-2-(6-hydroxy-3-oxo-3H-xanthen-9-yl)benzoic acid, prepared as described in WO2011/120025) was used at a final assay concentration of 5 nM. Both the enzyme and ligand were prepared in solutions in 50 mM HEPES pH7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, and 1 mM CHAPS. Test compounds were prepared in 100% DMSO and 100 nL was dispensed to individual wells of a multiwell plate. Next, 5 ul RIPK2 was added to the test compounds at twice the final assay concentration, and incubated at rt for 10 min. Following the incubation, 5 ul of the fluorescent labeled ligand solution, was added to each reaction, at twice the final assay concentration, and incubated at rt for at least 10 min. Finally, samples were read on an instrument capable of measuring fluorescent polarization. Test compound inhibition was expressed as percent (%) inhibition of internal assay controls.
  • For concentration/dose response experiments, normalized data were fit and pIC50s determined using conventional techniques. The pIC50s are averaged to determine a mean value, for a minimum of 2 experiments.
  • As determined using the above method, the compounds of Examples 1-80 exhibited a pIC50 between approximately 5.0 and 9.0. For instance, the compounds of Examples 4 and 16 inhibited RIP2 kinase in the above method with a mean pIC50 of approximately 7.5 and 8.5, respectively. The compounds of Examples 4, 6, 16, 21, and 23 inhibited RIP2 kinase in the above method with a mean pIC50 in the range of approximately 7.0-9.0.
  • FLAG His tagged RIPK2 Preparation:
  • Full-length human RIPK2 (receptor-interacting serine-threonine kinase 2) cDNA was purchased from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, Calif., USA, Clone ID:IOH6368, RIPK2-pENTR 221). Gateway® LR cloning was used to site-specifically recombine RIPK2 downstream to an N-terminal FLAG-6His contained within the destination vector pDEST8-FLAG-His6 according to the protocol described by Invitrogen. Transfection into Spodoptera frugiperda(Sf9) insect cells was performed using Cellfectin® (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer's protocol.
  • Sf9 cells were grown in Excell 420 (SAFC Biosciences, Lenexa, Kans., US; Andover, Hampshire UK) growth media at 27° C., 80 rpm in shake flask until of a sufficient volume to inoculate a bioreactor. The cells were grown in a 50 litre working volume bioreactor (Applikon, Foster City, Calif., US; Schiedam, Netherlands) at 27° C., 30% dissolved oxygen and an agitation rate of 60-140 rpm until the required volume was achieved with a cell concentration of approximately 3.7×e6 cells/mL. The insect cells were infected with Baculovirus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 12.7. The cultivation was continued for a 43 hour expression phase. The infected cells were removed from the growth media by centrifugation at 2500 g using a Viafuge (Carr) continuous centrifuge at a flow rate of 80 litres/hour. The cell pellet was immediately frozen and subsequently supplied for purification.
  • Purification Procedure I: 9.83×1010 Insect cells were re-suspended in 1.4 L lysis buffer (50 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM NaF, 0.1% Triton X-100, 1 mL/litre Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Set III (available from EMD Group; CalBiochem/Merck Biosciences, Gibbstown, N.J., US; Damstadt, Germany) and processed by dounce homogenization on ice. The suspension was then clarified by centrifugation at 47,900 g for 2 h, at 4° C. The lysate was decanted from the insoluble pellet and loaded at a linear flow rate of 16 cm/h onto a 55 mL FLAG-M2 affinity column (2.6×10.4 cm) that had been pre-equilibrated with 10 column volumes buffer A (50 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM NaF, 1 mL/litre Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Set III). The column was then washed with 15 column volumes buffer A, and eluted with 6 column volumes buffer B (buffer A+150 μg/mL 3× FLAG peptide) at a linear flow rate of 57 cm/h. Fractions identified by SDS-PAGE as containing protein of interest were dialyzed to remove the 3× FLAG peptide from the preparation against 5 L of Buffer A (not containing the Protease Inhibitor Cocktail) overnight, using 10 kDa MWCO SnakeSkin Pleated Dialysis Tubing. The purification process yielded 11.3 mg of total protein, with the RIPK2 present at 40% purity by gel densitometry scanning, and identity confirmed by peptide mass fingerprinting. The main contaminating proteins in the preparation were identified as lower molecular weight degraded species of RIPK2.
  • Purification Procedure II: 100 g cells (10 liter scale fermentation) were frozen, thawed, and re-suspended in 1 L lysis buffer (50 mM Tris HCL pH7.5, 250 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM TCEP, 3 ml Protease inhibitor cocktail) and lysed by high pressure homogenization at 10,000 psi once (Avestin). The suspension was then clarified by centrifugation at 35,000 g for 45 minutes at 4° C. The supernatant was collected by centrifugation and incubated with 5 ml anti-FLAG-M2 resin which was pre-equilibrated with buffer A (50 mM Tris HCL pH7.5, 250 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM TCEP). After protein binding at 4 C degree for 1 hour, the resin was packed into two 25 ml disposable columns. Each column was washed with 25 ml buffer A and eluted with 10 ml (buffer A+200 ug/ml Flag peptide). The elution pool was concentrated to 1 ml and applied to a superdex 200 (16/60) sizing column. Fractions containing full length RIPK2 were collected according to SDS-PAGE analysis results. The purification process yielded 1.36 mg/L 80% pure RIPK2 protein and identity was confirmed by peptide mass fingerprinting.
    • Biological In Vivo Assay
  • The efficacy of RIP2 inhibitors may also be evaluated in vivo in rodents. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) or intravenous (i.v.) administration of L18-MDP in mice has been shown to induce an inflammatory response through activation of the NOD2 signaling pathway (Rosenweig, H. L., et al. 2008. Journal of Leukocyte Biology 84:529-536). The level of the inflammatory response in the L18-MDP treated mice/rats is monitored using conventional techniques by measuring increases in cytokine levels (IL8, TNFα, IL6 and IL-1β) in serum and/or peritoneal lavage fluid and by measuring neutrophil influx into the peritoneal space (when L18-MDP is dosed i.p.).
  • Inhibition of the L18-MDP induced inflammatory response in treated rodents may be shown by orally pre-dosing with selected compounds of this invention, then measuring and comparing cytokine levels (IL8, TNFα, IL6 and IL-1β) in serum and/or peritoneal lavage fluid and neutrophil influx into the peritoneal space (when L18-MDP is dosed i.p.) using conventional techniques.
  • For example, rats were orally pre-dosed with a compound of Example 4, 6, 16, or 21, at a dose of 2 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg (8 rats) and with prednisolone (8 rats, used as a positive control), followed by dosing with L18-MDP (50 μg/rat) 0.25 h/min after pre-dosing. Combined cytokine levels (IL8, TNFα, IL6 and IL-1β) in whole blood samples taken from the rats in this study were measured using an antibody based detection (Meso-Scale Discovery platform). The combined cytokine response was calculated as the averaged response for the 4 cytokines measured relative to the response observed in the vehicle-treated mice, and are depicted in the figures as the mean±standard error of the mean (n=8 rats/group).
