STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT

This invention was made with government support under Grant No. 5R44A1084284 awarded by the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease. The government has certain rights in the invention.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to compounds useful for inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase (“CDK”).

BACKGROUND

Cancer continues to be a challenge for modern medicine. At a basic level, cancer occurs when there is uncontrollable cell division. The uncontrollable cell division is an effect of a break down in the natural life cycle of cells. CDK is a family of kinases involved in the cell life cycle. Abnormally high CDK activity is one characteristic of several cancers. There are naturally occurring CDK-inhibiting proteins and the abnormally high CDK activity maybe due to a malfunction of the naturally occurring CDK inhibitors or due to an overabundance of CDK. CDK inhibitors are known in the art but there remains a need for additional CDK inhibitors.

SUMMARY

The invention is directed to compounds of formula I, II or III:
wherein R, R¹, R², R⁶, R⁸, X, X′, X″, Z and y are as defined herein and to pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
The disclosed compounds are useful as CDK inhibitors and could be useful in the treatment of diseases and disorders mediated by CDK such as cancer. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds are also disclosed.

Biological Activity

Kinase enzymatic reactions were performed in 384-well microplates using a 12-channel Caliper LabChip instrument as a detection device. The enzymatic phosphorylation of a peptide results in a change in net charge, enabling electrophoretic separation of product from substrate. As substrate and product are separated, two peaks of fluorescence are observed. Change in the relative fluorescence intensity of the substrate and product peaks is the parameter measured, reflecting enzyme activity. In the presence of an inhibitor, the ratio between product and substrate is altered. The signal of the product decreases, while the signal of the substrate increases.
For the measurement of CDK2/cyclinE activity, enzyme (0.22 nM) was incubated with 100 mM ATP and the phosphoacceptor substrate peptide (1 mM) for one hour. For the measurement of CDK4/CyclinD activity, enzyme (0.85 nM) was incubated with 200 mM ATP and the phosphoacceptor substrate peptide (1 mM) for three hours. Potential inhibitor compounds (as HCl salts) were tested using 12-point dose response curves in single point at the K_mfor ATP. The IC₅₀of each compound was determined using GraphPad Prism. Results from the IC₅₀values demonstrate 200 and 100 fold selectivity for compounds Compound 1 and Compound 3 for Cdk4/CycD1 over Cdk2/CycE respectively. Results are provided in Table 1.

Pharmaceutical Compositions
In one embodiment a pharmaceutical composition comprising compounds of the invention is provided. In a first aspect, the pharmaceutical composition further comprises one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or vehicles, and optionally other therapeutic and/or prophylactic ingredients. Such excipients are known to those of skill in the art. The compounds of the present invention include, without limitation, basic compounds such as free bases. A thorough discussion of pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and salts is available in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition (Easton, Pa.: Mack Publishing Company, 1990).
Depending on the intended mode of administration, the pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of solid, semi-solid or liquid dosage forms, such as, for example, tablets, suppositories, pills, capsules, powders, liquids, suspensions, creams, ointments, lotions or the like, preferably in unit dosage form suitable for single administration of a precise dosage. The compositions will include an effective amount of the selected drug in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and, in addition, may include other pharmaceutical agents, adjuvants, diluents, buffers, etc.
The invention includes a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the present invention including isomers, racemic or non-racemic mixtures of isomers, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and optionally other therapeutic and/or prophylactic ingredients.
For solid compositions, conventional nontoxic solid carriers include, for example, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, talc, cellulose, glucose, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, and the like.
For oral administration, the composition will generally take the form of a tablet, capsule, a softgel capsule nonaqueous solution, suspension or syrup. Tablets and capsules are preferred oral administration forms. Tablets and capsules for oral use will generally include one or more commonly used carriers such as lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are also typically added. When liquid suspensions are used, the active agent may be combined with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, flavoring, coloring and/or sweetening agents may be added as well. Other optional components for incorporation into an oral formulation herein include, but are not limited to, preservatives, suspending agents, thickening agents, and the like.
The pharmaceutical composition or combination of the present invention can be in unit dosage of about 1-1000 mg of active ingredient(s) for a subject of about 50-70 kg, or about 1-500 mg or about 1-250 mg or about 1-150 mg or about 0.5-100 mg, or about 1-50 mg of active ingredients. The therapeutically effective dosage of a compound, the pharmaceutical composition, or the combinations thereof, is dependent on the species of the subject, the body weight, age and individual condition, the disorder or disease or the severity thereof being treated. A physician, clinician or veterinarian of ordinary skill can readily determine the effective amount of each of the active ingredients necessary to prevent, treat or inhibit the progress of the disorder or disease.
All publications and patent applications cited in this specification are herein incorporated by reference as if each individual publication or patent application were specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, it will be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art in light of the teachings of this invention that certain changes and modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
