Description

CLAIM OF PRIORITY

This application is a reissue of U.S. Pat. No. 8,785,450, issued on Jul. 22, 2014 from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/826,630, which claims priority from U.S. Ser. No. 61/221,430, filed Jun. 29, 2009 and U.S. Ser. No. 61/292,360, filed Jan. 5, 2010, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Cancer cells rely primarily on glycolysis to generate cellular energy and biochemical intermediates for biosynthesis of lipids and nucleotides, while the majority of “normal” cells in adult tissues utilize aerobic respiration. This fundamental difference in cellular metabolism between cancer cells and normal cells, termed the Warburg Effect, has been exploited for diagnostic purposes, but has not yet been exploited for therapeutic benefit.

Pyruvate kinase (PK) is a metabolic enzyme that converts phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate during glycolysis. Four PK isoforms exist in mammals: the L and R isoforms are expressed in liver and red blood cells, the M1 isoform is expressed in most adult tissues, and the M2 isoform is a splice variant of M1 expressed during embryonic development. All tumor cells exclusively express the embryonic M2 isoform. A well-known difference between the M1 and M2 isoforms of PK is that M2 is a low-activity enzyme that relies on allosteric activation by the upstream glycolytic intermediate, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), whereas M1 is a constitutively active enzyme.

All tumor cells exclusively express the embryonic M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase, suggesting PKM2 as a potential target for cancer therapy. PKM2 is also expressed in adipose tissue and activated T-cells. Thus, the modulation (e.g. inhibition or activation) of PKM2 may be effective in the treatment of, e.g., obesity, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, and proliferation-dependent diseases, e.g., benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Current inhibitors of pyruvate kinase are not selective, making it difficult to treat disease related to pyruvate kinase function.

Furthermore, phosphotyrosine peptide binding to PKM2 leads to a dissociation of FBP from PKM2 and conformational changes of PKM2 from an active, tetrameric form to an inactive form. Compounds that bind to PKM2 and lock the enzyme in the active confirmation will lead to the loss of allosteric control of PKM2 needed for shunting biochemical intermediates from glycolysis into biosynthesis of nucleotides and lipids. Thus, the activation of PKM2 (i.e., activators of PKM2) can also inhibit the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, activated immune cells, and fat cells.

There is a continuing need for novel treatments of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune conditions, proliferation-dependent diseases (e.g., BPH), and other diseases related to the function of pyruvate kinase (e.g., PKM2).

In another aspect, a substituent may itself be substituted with any one of the above substituents.

The term “selective” is meant at least 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 6-fold, or 10-fold greater modulation (e.g., activation) of PKM2 than PKM1.

The term “activator” as used herein means an agent that (measurably) increases the activity of a pyruvate kinase (e.g., PKM2) or causes pyruvate kinase (e.g., PKM2) activity to increase to a level that is greater than PKM2's basal levels of activity. For example, the activator may mimic the effect caused by a natural ligand (e.g., FBP). The activator effect caused by a compound provided herein may be to the same, or to a greater, or to a lesser extent than the activating effect caused by a natural ligand, but the same type of effect is caused. A compound provided herein can be evaluated to determine if it is an activator by measuring either directly or indirectly the activity of the pyruvate kinase when subjected to said compound. The activity of a compound provided herein can be measured, for example, against a control substance. In some instances, the activity measured of the test compound is for activation of PKM2. The activity of PKM2 can be measured, for example, by monitoring the concentration of a substrate such as ATP or NADH.

The abbreviations Me, Et, Ph, Tf, Nf, Ts, Ms represent methyl, ethyl, phenyl, trifluoromethanesulfonyl, nonafluorobutanesulfonyl, p-toluenesulfonyl and methanesulfonyl, respectively. A more comprehensive list of the abbreviations utilized by organic chemists of ordinary skill in the art appears in the first issue of each volume of the Journal of Organic Chemistry; this list is typically presented in a table entitled Standard List of Abbreviations. The abbreviations contained in said list, and all abbreviations utilized by organic chemists of ordinary skill in the art are hereby incorporated by reference.

Methods of Evaluating Compounds

The compounds described herein can be evaluated for ability to modulate PKM2 (e.g., activate PKM2) by methods known in the art. In some embodiments, compounds described herein are evaluated for ability to modulate PKM2 (e.g. activate PKM2) in serine deficient conditions. In some embodiments, exemplary methods include contacting the compound with a cell-based assay which allows assessment of the ability to modulate (e.g., activate) PKM2. E.g., the candidate compound can be contacted with a cell and measuring the consumption of oxygen or production of lactate. A change in cellular phosphoenolpyruvate, a change in glycerol-phosphate, a change in ribose or deoxyribose, a change in lipid synthesis, or a change in glucose conversion to lipid or nucleic acids or amino acids or protein can also be used to evaluate a compound for its ability to modulate PKM2 (e.g., activate PKM2). The evaluation could also include measuring a change in pyruvate or a determination of an alteration in mitochondrial membrane potential, e.g., as measured by fluorescent potentiometric dyes.

The activity of the PKM enzyme measured in the screening/testing assay may be measured by, e.g., monitoring the concentration of a substrate (e.g., ATP or NADH) present in the reaction mixture. Pyruvate, produced by the enzymatic activity of pyruvate kinase, is converted into lactate by lactate dehydrogenase, which requires the consumption of NADH (NADH→NAD+). Thus, the activity of PKM2 can be indirectly measured by monitoring the consumption of NADH through, e.g., fluorescence assays. Additionally, the activity of the PKM2 enzyme can be directly monitored by measuring the production of ATP, as ATP is produced when phosphoenolpyruvate is converted to pyruvate. Methods for monitoring the amount of substrate in a reaction mixture include, e.g., absorbance, fluorescence, Raman scattering, phosphorescence, luminescence, luciferase assays, and radioactivity.

The screening procedure requires the presence of specific components in the reaction mixture. Components utilized in the assay include, e.g., a nucleoside diphosphate (e.g., ADP), phosphoenolpyruvate, NADH, lactate dehydrogenase, FBP, a reducing agent (e.g., dithiothreitol), a detergent (e.g., Brij 35), glycerol, and a solvent (e.g., DMSO). Exemplary reaction conditions are found in Table 1.

In some embodiments, a compound such as a compound described herein, can be evaluated in a cellular/ex vivo assay. For example, a cell is treated with a compound described herein (i.e., a PKM2 activator), and the compound is evaluated, for example for its ability to enter the cell and bind to PKM2, inducing an activated conformation of PKM2. The excess unbound compound can then be washed away with PBS, and the cells lysed, for example, by snap-freezing on dry ice, followed by addition of a detergent-containing lysis buffer. The lysate, in which activated PKM2 remains intact, can then be removed and added to a chemical cocktail including the chemicals necessary to measure pyruvate kinase activity. The assay can be coupled to another assay such as an assay that is coupled to the LDHa enzyme. The amount of pyruvate kinase activity that is measured can then be normalized to the total protein content in the lysate, and related to the concentration of PKM2 activator that was added to the cell. This can allow an AC₅₀(concentration at which PKM2 is activated 50%) value to be derived. The total fold-increase in activity over mock-treated cells can also be calculated, and the “maximum level of activation” can be used to distinguish between compounds that fully activate PKM2 and compounds that can only partially activate PKM2. In the case of measuring PKM2 activity from tissue (for example, in a cell tumor), animals harboring the tissue/tumor of interest can be dosed with a compound. After a specified period of time in which exposure has been achieved in the target tissue/tumor of interest, the tissue/tumor can then be harvested from the animal, snap-frozen, and then lysed and homogenized. The amount of pyruvate kinase activity in this lysate can then be quantitated as described above.

PKM1 and PKM2 for use in the screening/testing methods described herein may be produced by any method known in the art for expression of recombinant proteins. For example, nucleic acids that encode the desired polypeptide may be introduced into various cell types or cell-free systems for expression. Eukaryotic (e.g., COS, HEK293T, CHO, and NIH cell lines) and prokaryotic (e.g., E. coli) expression systems may be generated in which a PKM sequence is introduced into a plasmid or other vector, which is then used to transform living cells. Constructs in which the PKM cDNA contains the entire open reading frame, or biologically active fragment thereof, are inserted in the correct orientation into an expression plasmid and may be used for protein expression. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems allow for the expression and recovery of fusion proteins in which the PKM protein is covalently linked to a tag molecule on either the amino terminal or carboxy terminal side, which facilitates identification and/or purification. Examples of tags that can be used include hexahistidine, HA, FLAG, and c-myc epitope tags. An enzymatic or chemical cleavage site can be engineered between the PKM protein and the tag molecule so that the tag can be removed following purification.

Compounds useful as PKM2 activators are those demonstrate specificity and activation of PKM2 enzyme in the absence of FBP to a level greater than that of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 99, or 100% in the presence of FBP. Furthermore, compounds can be evaluated in the presence or absence of a phosphotyrosine peptide. Phosphotyrosine peptide binding to PKM2 leads to a dissociation of FBP from PKM2 and conformational changes of PKM2 from an active, tetrameric form to an inactive form. Compounds that bind to PKM2 and lock the enzyme in the active confirmation even in the presence of a phosphotyrosine peptide will lead to the loss of allosteric control of PKM2 needed for shunting the biochemical intermediates from glycolysis into biosynthesis of other intermediates. This, in turn, will lead to inhibition of growth of cancer cells, activated immune cells and fat cells.

Cancer Combination Therapies

In some embodiments, a compound described herein is administered together with one or more additional cancer treatments. Exemplary cancer treatments include, for example: chemotherapy, targeted therapies such as antibody therapies, immunotherapy, and hormonal therapy. Examples of each of these treatments are provided below.

Chemotherapy

In some embodiments, a compound described herein is administered with one or more chemotherapies. Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer with drugs that can destroy cancer cells. “Chemotherapy” usually refers to cytotoxic drugs which affect rapidly dividing cells in general, in contrast with targeted therapy. Chemotherapy drugs interfere with cell division in various possible ways, e.g., with the duplication of DNA or the separation of newly formed chromosomes. Most forms of chemotherapy target all rapidly dividing cells and are not specific for cancer cells, although some degree of specificity may come from the inability of many cancer cells to repair DNA damage, while normal cells generally can.

Examples of chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer therapy include, for example, antimetabolites (e.g., folic acid, purine, and pyrimidine derivatives) and alkylating agents (e.g., nitrogen mustards, nitrosoureas, platinum, alkyl sulfonates, hydrazines, triazenes, aziridines, spindle poison, cytotoxic agents, toposimerase inhibitors and others). Exemplary agents include Aclarubicin, Actinomycin, Alitretinon, Altretamine, Aminopterin, Aminolevulinic acid, Amrubicin, Amsacrine, Anagrelide, Arsenic trioxide, Asparaginase, Atrasentan, Belotecan, Bexarotene, endamustine, Bleomycin, Bortezomib, Busulfan, Camptothecin, Capecitabine, Carboplatin, Carboquone, Carmofur, Carmustine, Celecoxib, Chlorambucil, Chlormethine, Cisplatin, Cladribine, Clofarabine, Crisantaspase, Cyclophosphamide, Cytarabine, Dacarbazine, Dactinomycin, Daunorubicin, Decitabine, Demecolcine, Docetaxel, Doxorubicin, Efaproxiral, Elesclomol, Elsamitrucin, Enocitabine, Epirubicin, Estramustine, Etoglucid, Etoposide, Floxuridine, Fludarabine, Fluorouracil (5FU), Fotemustine, Gemcitabine, Gliadel implants, Hydroxycarbamide, Hydroxyurea, Idarubicin, Ifosfamide, Irinotecan, Irofulven, Ixabepilone, Larotaxel, Leucovorin, Liposomal doxorubicin, Liposomal daunorubicin, Lonidamine, Lomustine, Lucanthone, Mannosulfan, Masoprocol, Melphalan, Mercaptopurine, Mesna, Methotrexate, Methyl aminolevulinate, Mitobronitol, Mitoguazone, Mitotane, Mitomycin, Mitoxantrone, Nedaplatin, Nimustine, Oblimersen, Omacetaxine, Ortataxel, Oxaliplatin, Paclitaxel, Pegaspargase, Pemetrexed, Pentostatin, Pirarubicin, Pixantrone, Plicamycin, Porfimer sodium, Prednimustine, Procarbazine, Raltitrexed, Ranimustine, Rubitecan, Sapacitabine, Semustine, Sitimagene ceradenovec, Satraplatin, Streptozocin, Talaporfin, Tegafur-uracil, Temoporfin, Temozolomide, Teniposide, Tesetaxel, Testolactone, Tetranitrate, Thiotepa, Tiazofurin, Tioguanine, Tipifarnib, Topotecan, Trabectedin, Triaziquone, Triethylenemelamine, Triplatin, Tretinoin, Treosulfan, Trofosfamide, Uramustine, Valrubicin, Verteporfin, Vinblastine, Vincristine, Vindesine, Vinflunine, Vinorelbine, Vorinostat, Zorubicin, and other cytostatic or cytotoxic agents described herein.

Because some drugs work better together than alone, two or more drugs are often given at the same time. Often, two or more chemotherapy agents are used as combination chemotherapy. In some embodiments, the chemotherapy agents (including combination chemotherapy) can be used in combination with a compound described herein.

Targeted Therapy

In some embodiments, a compound described herein is administered with one or more targeted therapies. Targeted therapy constitutes the use of agents specific for the deregulated proteins of cancer cells. Small molecule targeted therapy drugs are generally inhibitors of enzymatic domains on mutated, overexpressed, or otherwise critical proteins within the cancer cell. Prominent examples are the tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as Axitinib, Bosutinib, Cediranib, dasatinib, erlotinib, imatinib, gefitinib, lapatinib, Lestaurtinib, Nilotinib, Semaxanib, Sorafenib, Sunitinib, and Vandetanib, and also cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors such as Alvocidib and Seliciclib. Monoclonal antibody therapy is another strategy in which the therapeutic agent is an antibody which specifically binds to a protein on the surface of the cancer cells. Examples include the anti-HER2/neu antibody trastuzumab (HERCEPTIN®) typically used in breast cancer, and the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab and Tositumomab typically used in a variety of B-cell malignancies. Other exemplary antibodies include Cetuximab, Panitumumab, Trastuzumab, Alemtuzumab, Bevacizumab, Edrecolomab, and Gemtuzumab. Exemplary fusion proteins include Aflibercept and Denileukin diftitox. In some embodiments, the targeted therapy can be used in combination with a compound described herein.

Targeted therapy can also involve small peptides as “homing devices” which can bind to cell surface receptors or affected extracellular matrix surrounding the tumor. Radionuclides which are attached to these peptides (e.g., RGDs) eventually kill the cancer cell if the nuclide decays in the vicinity of the cell. An example of such therapy includes BEXXAR®.

Immunotherapy

In some embodiments, a compound described herein is administered with one or more immunotherapies. Cancer immunotherapy refers to a diverse set of therapeutic strategies designed to induce the patient's own immune system to fight the tumor. Contemporary methods for generating an immune response against tumors include intravesicular BCG immunotherapy for superficial bladder cancer, and use of interferons and other cytokines to induce an immune response in renal cell carcinoma and melanoma patients.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be considered a form of immunotherapy, since the donor's immune cells will often attack the tumor in a graft-versustumor effect. In some embodiments, the immunotherapy agents can be used in combination with a compound described herein.

Hormonal Therapy

In some embodiments, a compound described herein is administered with one or more hormonal therapies. The growth of some cancers can be inhibited by providing or blocking certain hormones. Common examples of hormone-sensitive tumors include certain types of breast and prostate cancers. Removing or blocking estrogen or testosterone is often an important additional treatment. In certain cancers, administration of hormone agonists, such as progestogens may be therapeutically beneficial. In some embodiments, the hormonal therapy agents can be used in combination with a compound described herein.

Obesity and Fat Disorders

A compound or composition described herein can be used to treat or prevent obesity, e.g., in a human subject, e.g. a child or adult subject. “Obesity” refers to a condition in which a subject has a body mass index of greater than or equal to 30. Many compounds described herein can be used to treat or prevent an over-weight condition. “Over-weight” refers to a condition in which a subject has a body mass index of greater or equal to 25.0. The body mass index (BMI) and other definitions are according to the “NIH Clinical Guidelines on the Identification and Evaluation, and Treatment of Overweight and Obesity in Adults” (1998). Treatment with the compound may be in an amount effective to alter the weight of the subject, e.g., by at least 2, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 25, 40, 45, 50, or 55%. Treatment with a compound may be in an amount effective to reduce the body mass index of the subject, e.g., to less than 30, 28, 27, 25, 22, 20, or 18. The compounds can be used to treat or prevent aberrant or inappropriate weight gain, metabolic rate, or fat deposition, e.g., anorexia, bulimia, obesity, diabetes, or hyperlipidemia (e.g., elevated triglycerides and/or elevated cholesterol), as well as disorders of fat or lipid metabolism.

A compound or composition described herein can be administered to treat obesity associated with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). PWS is a genetic disorder associated with obesity (e.g., morbid obesity).

A compound or composition described herein can be used to reduce body fat, prevent increased body fat, reduce cholesterol (e.g., total cholesterol and/or ratios of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol), and/or reduce appetite in individuals having PWS associated obesity, and/or reduce comorbidities such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.

Synthesis of N4-Aryl/Heteroaryl Piperazine Analogues with Substituted Phenyl Central Ring

General Procedure for Compound 94:

Nitrogen was purged through a stirred solution of arylbromide (93, 2.15 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (20 ml) at room temperature for 30 min BINAP (0.134 g, 0.215 mmol), palladium acetate (0.0096 g, 0.043 mmol) and cesium carbonate (1.40 g, 4.3 mmol) were added to the reaction mixture and the nitrogen purging was continued for another 20 min and finally N-Boc piperazine (85, 0.4 g, 2.15 mmol) was added and stirred at 100° C. overnight under nitrogen atmosphere. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in water, extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 ml). Combined organic extracts were washed with brine (20 ml), dried over anhydrous Sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was then purified by column chromatography (60-120 silica gel) using 10% ethyl acetate-hexane to yield compound (94) (40-60%).

General Procedure for Compound (95):

N¹-Boc-N⁴-arylpiperazine (94, 1.075 mmol) was taken into a round bottomed flask and was added methanolic-HCl (20 ml, 20%) which resulted in formation of a homogeneous solution and was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the solvent was removed under vacuum. The crude product was washed with ethyl acetate repeatedly and then dried well to obtain hydrochloride salt (95) (90%) as a white solid.

General Procedure for Compound 97:

To a solution of amine (96, 30.16 mmol) in a 1:1 mixture of DCM-pyridine (50:50 ml) was added quinoline-8-sulfonyl chloride (89, 8.24 g, 36.19 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere. The resultant solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. On completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (150 ml), washed with water (3×50 ml), 1N HCl solution (3×50 ml) and brine (50 ml. The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. Crude product was co-distilled with toluene to remove the remnants of pyridine and dried to yield sulfonamide (97) (70-90%) as an off-white solid and was used as such for the next step without further purification.

General Procedure for Compounds 98a-1:

To a stirred solution of the carboxylic acid (97, 0.61 mmol) in DMF at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere, EDCI (0.129 gm, 0.671 mmol), HOBt (0.91 gm, 0.671 mmol) and DIPEA (0.31 ml, 1.83 mmol) were added and the resultant solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 min Amine hydrochloride (95, 0.61 mmol) was then added at 0° C. and stirred overnight at room temperature. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was poured into 1.0 M HCl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO₃solution, dried over NaSO₄and filtered. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and the product was isolated by chromatography on silica gel (60-120 silica gel, 2% MeOH-DCM) or preparative HPLC to yield amide (98a-1) (40-60%) as an off-white solid.

Synthesis of piperazine Derivatives with 3-methyl, 2-methyl, 3-fluoro, 3-chloro, 3-hydroxy or 3-methoxy Substituted Phenyl Rings

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Sulfonamide 118:

To a stirred solution of amine 7 (30.3 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere was added pyridine (50 ml) at 0° C. and stirred for 10 min Quinoline-8-sulfonyl chloride 89 (8.94 gm, 39.4 mmol) was then added to the reaction mixture at the same temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred for 16 hr at RT. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed under low pressure. The traces of pyridine were removed by co-distillation with toluene. Diethylether was added to the resulting residue, and the solid product was filtered out and air-dried. The resulting crude product (8.0 gm, 74%) was then to the next step without further purification.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Sulfonamide 119:

EDCI (3.8 g, 19.8 mmol) and HOBT (2.67 g, 19.8 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of the acid 118 (19.8 mmol) in anhydrous DMF. The temperature of the mixture was reduced to 0° C., at which time DIPEA (11 ml, 59.45 mmol) was added under nitrogen atmosphere and the resultant solution (or suspension) was stirred at room temperature for 30 min Boc-piperazine (3.68 g, 19.8 mmol) was then added at 0° C. The reaction mixture was then brought to room temperature and stirred overnight. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×70 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (3×50 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated over the rotary evaporator to get the crude product. Crude product was purified by column chromatography (60-120 silica gel, 2% MeOH-DCM) to get pure product, Boc-119 (81%) as an off-white solid, which was subjected to the treatment with methanolic HCl (100 ml) for 2 hr at RT. After the complete cleavage of Boc-group, the solvent was removed under low pressure, to give the crude product as an HCl salt. The aqueous solution of the salt was washed with diethylether and basified with NaHCO₃(pH 10). The desired product was then partitioned into ethyl acetate, dried with anhydrous Na₂SO₄and the solvent removed under low pressure to get the free amine 119 as off white solid (95%).

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Amides 120a-cu:

EDCI (48 mg, 0.2525 mmol) and HOBT (34 mg, 0.2525 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of the Ar—COOH (0.2525 mmol) in anhydrous DMF. The temperature of the mixture was reduced to 0° C., at which time DIPEA (139 μl, 0.7575 mmol) was added under nitrogen atmosphere and the resultant solution (or suspension) was stirred at room temperature for 30 min Amine 119 (100 mg, 0.2525 mmol) was then added at 0° C. The reaction mixture was then brought to room temperature and stirred overnight. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×15 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (3×10 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated over the rotary evaporator to get the crude product. Crude product was purified by either by silica column chromatography or preparative HPLC to obtain the pure products in 52-68% yields.

Synthesis of Piperazine Derivatives with 3-Trifluoromethyl or 3-Trifluoromethoxy Substituted Phenyl Rings

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Sulfonamide 122:

To a stirred solution of amine 121 (30.3 mmol) in DMF (20 ml per gm) under nitrogen atmosphere was added sodium hydride (90.9 mmol) portion-wise at 0° C. and stirred for 10 min at RT. Quinoline-8-sulfonyl chloride 89 (8.94 gm, 39.4 mmol) was then added to the reaction mixture at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred for further 30 min at RT. After completion of the reaction, most of the solvent was removed under low pressure. The residue was diluted with ice water-EtOAc mixture and the pH was brought to 7.0 using saturated solution of NaH₂PO₄. The product was then extracted in EtOAc, washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulphate and the solvent removed under low pressure. The

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Hydrolysis Product 12

To a stirred solution of sulfonamide 122 (22.4 mmol) in THF:H₂O (1:1) under nitrogen atmosphere was added solid LiOH (9.4 gm, 224 mmol) at RT. The solution was then refluxed for 6 hr. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was washed with ethyl acetate (2×100 ml) to remove non polar impurities. The aqueous layer was acidified (pH 4) with citric acid solution. The resultant precipitate was filtered out and air-dried. The traces of water were removed by co-distillation with toluene. The resultant off white solid (80%) was taken to the next step without further purification.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Sulfonamide 124:

EDCI (3.8 g, 19.8 mmol) and HOBT (2.67 g, 19.8 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of the acid 123 (19.8 mmol) in anhydrous DMF. The temperature of the mixture was reduced to 0° C., at which time DIPEA (11 ml, 59.45 mmol) was added under nitrogen atmosphere and the resultant solution (or suspension) was stirred at room temperature for 30 min Boc-piperazine (3.68 g, 19.8 mmol) was then added at 0° C. The reaction mixture was then brought to room temperature and stirred overnight. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×70 ml).
