Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel thiazole derivatives, processes for the preparation thereof, the use thereof in therapy, particularly in the treatment or prophylaxis of disorders characterised by overexpression of transforming growth factor ⁇ (TGF- ⁇ ), and pharmaceutical compositions for use in such therapy.
- TGF- ⁇ transforming growth factor ⁇
- TGF- ⁇ is a multi-functional cytokine which belongs to the TGF- ⁇ superfamily which includes activins/inhibins, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and TGF- ⁇ s.
- BMPs bone morphogenetic proteins
- TGF- ⁇ 1 , TGF- ⁇ 2, and TGF- ⁇ 3 Three isoforms of TGF- ⁇ (TGF- ⁇ 1 , TGF- ⁇ 2, and TGF- ⁇ 3) have been identified in mammals, each of which is encoded by a distinct gene on different chromosomes (D.A. Lawrence, Eur. Cytokine. Netw., 1996, 7(3), 363).
- TGF- ⁇ initiates an intracellular signalling pathway which ultimately leads to the expression of genes that regulate cell cycle, control proliferative responses, or relate to extracellular matrix proteins that mediate cell adhesion, migration and intercellular communication.
- TGF- ⁇ has pleitropic effects including modulation of cell growth and differentiation, extracellular matrix formation, hematopoiesis
- TGF- ⁇ signalling pathway results from the binding of the TGF- ⁇ ligand to the extracellularlar domain of the type II membrane receptor (Massague, Ann. Rev. Biochem., 1998, 67, 753.).
- type II receptor recruits type I (Alk5) receptor into a multimeric membrane complex, whereupon active type II receptor kinase phoshorylates and activates type I receptor kinase.
- the function of the type I receptor kinase is to phosphorylate a receptor-associated co-transcription factor, Smad-2 or Smad-3; thereby releasing it into the cytoplasm where it binds to Smad-4.
- the PAI-1 gene is activated by TGF- ⁇ as a consequence of the abovementioned cellular pathway.
- TGF- ⁇ signal transduction For example inhibition of the TGF- ⁇ type II receptor by overexpression of a dominant negative TGF- ⁇ type II receptor has previously been shown to prevent liver fibrosis and dysfunction in rat models (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci, 1999, 96(5), 2345), and also to prevent progression of established liver fibrosis (Hepatology, 2000, 32, 247).
- TGF- ⁇ pathological overexpression of TGF- ⁇ is known to be associated with a number of undesirable effects, leading ultimately to the development of serious pathogenic conditions (G.C. Blobe er a/., N. Engl. J. /Wed., 2000, 1350).
- pathological overexpression of TGF- ⁇ may cause excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), inhibition of cell proliferation and immunosupression.
- ECM extracellular matrix
- Excessive accumulation of ECM is known to lead to fibrotic diseases such as tumor fibrosis, radiation-induced fibrosis, fibrosis of the liver, kidney, lung, bowel, heart, pancreas, peritoneum or other organs. Fibrosis can lead to pathologic conditions such as cirrhosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, glomerulosclerosis and hypertrophic scars.
- TGF- ⁇ tumor necrosis factor- ⁇
- compounds capable of inhibiting the TGF- ⁇ intracellular pathway are seen as a desirable way to effect prophylaxis and/or treatment of the above- mentioned conditions.
- Compounds capable of inhibiting the TGF- ⁇ intracellular pathway and/or the expression of TGF- ⁇ may be used in the treatment of disorders the symptoms of which often lead to the development of fibrotic conditions.
- compounds of the present invention may be useful in treating the fibrosis associated with various liver-related conditions such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), alcohol-induced hepatitis, haemochromatosis and primary biliary cirrhosis.
- the compounds of the present invention are thiazole derivatives.
- Other thiazole compounds have previously been described for use in alternative medicinal applications.
- PCT Patent Application WO 96/03392 (Searle & Co) discloses a series of substituted thiazole compounds for the treatment of inflammation and inflammation-related disorders.
- WO 93/15071 (SmithKline Beecham Intercredit NN.) describes a series of thiazolyl-pyridine derivatives which may be used as gastric acid secretion inhibitors. This type of compound may be useful in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders such as gastric and duodenal ulcers, aspiration pneumonitis and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
- PCT Patent Application WO 00/12947 (Scios Inc.) describes the use of a series of quinazoline derivatives for treating various disorders associated with enhanced activity of kinase p38- ⁇ and/or TGF- ⁇ .
- the compounds described therein have been shown to inhibit the activities of both proteins and are therefore particularly useful for the treatment of conditions in which an enhanced activity towards both p38- ⁇ and TGF- ⁇ is required.

The resin was then treated for 5 min with a solution of piperidine 20% in DMF (3x100ml). After washing with DMF(3x100ml) and CH 2 CI 2 (4x100ml),the resin was treated with a solution of Fmoc NCS (0.2M) in CH 2 CI 2 (190ml ) for 1 h at r.t.

- Step2 The thiourea resin was reacted with intermediate 2 (0.18M) in dioxane (175ml) for 4h at r.t . The resin was washed with dioxane (3x100ml).
- the bromo aminothiazole resin (1g) was weighed out into a polyethylene reaction vessel.
- Pd 2 (dba) 3 100mg,0.11mmol, 0.17eq
- binap 250mg,0.4mmol, 0.62eq
- sodium tert-butoxide 1.1g,9mmol, 14eq
- the reaction vessel was purged with argon for 5 min then aryl amine (20.5mmol, 32eq) was added to the suspension, and the mixture was stirred at 80°C for 15h.
- the resin was washed with water (15ml), DMF/ CH 2 CI 2 /iPrOH/ CH 2 CI 2 /diethyl ether (2x30ml). The coupling reaction and the subsequent wash were repeated two more times. Resin was cleaved by treatment with a solution of 20% TFA in CH 2 CI 2 (8ml).

- Columns 11 and 12 are employed as controls.
- Column 11 contains 8 wells in which the cells are incubated in the presence of TGF- ⁇ , without a candidate compound.
- Column 11 is used to determine the 'reference TGF- ⁇ induced firefly luciferase value' against which values measured in the test wells (to quantify inhibitory activity) may be compared.
- wells A 2 to D12 cells are grown in medium without TGF- ⁇ . The firefly luciferase values obtained from these positions are representive of the 'basal firefly luciferase activity'.
- Wells E12 to H12 cells are incubated in the presence of TGF- ⁇ and 500 ⁇ M CPO (Cyclopentenone, Sigma), a cell toxic compound. The toxicity is revealed by decreased firefly and renilla luciferase activities (around 50 % of those obtained in column 11).
- luciferase quantification procedure 12 to 18 hours later (day 3), the luciferase quantification procedure is launched.
- the following reactions are performed using reagents obtained from a Dual. Luciferase Assay Kit (Promega). Cells are washed and lysed with the addition of 10 Dl of passive lysis buffer (Promega). Following agitation (15 to 30 mins), luciferase activities of the plates are read in a dual-injector luminometer (BMG lumistar). For this purpose, 50 ⁇ l of luciferase assay reagent and 50 ⁇ l of 'Stop & Glo' buffer are injected sequentially to quantify the activities of both luciferases. Data obtained from the measurements are processed and analysed using suitable software.
- the mean Luciferase activity value obtained in wells A11 to H11 (Column 11 , TGF- ⁇ only) is considered to represent 100% and values obtained in wells A12 to D12 (cells in medium alone) give a basal level (0%).
- a concentration response curve is constructed from which an IC 50 value can be determined graphically.

- the enzyme was preincubated with the compounds (0.1% DMSO final in the test) 10 minutes at 37°C.
- the reaction was initialised by the addition of 3 ⁇ M ATP (0.5 ⁇ Ci gamma-33P-ATP).
- SDS-PAGE sample buffer 50 mM Tris-HCI, pH 6.9, 2.5 % glycerol, 1% SDS, 5 % beta- mercaptoethanol.
