Definitions

  • the invention concerns certain novel quinoline derivatives, or pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, which possess anti-tumour activity and are accordingly useful in methods of treatment of the human or animal body.
  • the invention also concerns processes for the manufacture of said quinoline derivatives, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use in therapeutic methods, for example in the manufacture of medicaments for use in the prevention or treatment of solid tumour disease in a warm-blooded animal such as man.
  • Many of the current treatment regimes for cell proliferation diseases such as psoriasis and cancer utilise compounds which inhibit DNA synthesis. Such compounds are toxic to cells generally but their toxic effect on rapidly dividing cells such as tumour cells can be beneficial.
  • Receptor tyrosine kinases are important in the transmission of biochemical signals which initiate cell replication. They are large enzymes which span the cell membrane and possess an extracellular binding domain for growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) and an intracellular portion which functions as a kinase to phosphorylate tyrosine amino acids in proteins and hence to influence cell proliferation.
  • EGF epidermal growth factor
  • Various classes of receptor tyrosine kinases are known (Wilks, Advances in Cancer Research, 1993, 60, 43-73) based on families of growth factors which bind to different receptor tyrosine kinases.
  • the classification includes Class I receptor tyrosine kinases comprising the EGF family of receptor tyrosine kinases such as the EGF, TGF ⁇ , Neu and erbB receptors, Class ⁇ receptor tyrosine kinases comprising the insulin family of receptor tyrosine kinases such as the insulin and IGFI receptors and insulin-related receptor (IRR) and Class HI receptor tyrosine kinases comprising 5 the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) family of receptor tyrosine kinases such as the PDGF , PDGF ⁇ and colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) receptors.

  • c-Src non-receptor tyrosine kinase is to regulate the assembly of focal adhesion complexes through interaction with a number of cytoplasmic proteins including, for example, focal adhesion kinase and paxillin.
  • cytoplasmic proteins including, for example, focal adhesion kinase and paxillin.
  • c-Src is coupled to signalling pathways that regulate the actin cytoskeleton which facilitates cell motility.
  • colon tumour progression from localised to disseminated, invasive metastatic disease has been correlated with c-Src non-receptor tyrosine kinase activity (Brunton et al, Oncogene, 1997, 14, 283-293, Fincham et al, EMBO J, 1998, 17, 81-92 and Verbeek et al, Exp. Cell Research, 1999, 248, 531-537).
  • an inhibitor of such non-receptor tyrosine kinases should be of value as a selective inhibitor of the motility of tumour cells and as a selective inliibitor of the dissemination and invasiveness of mammalian cancer cells leading to inhibition of metastatic tumour growth.
  • an inhibitor of such non-receptor tyrosine kinases should be of value as an anti-invasive agent for use in the containment and/or treatment of solid tumour disease.

  • c-Src non-receptor tyrosine kinase enzyme is involved in the control of osteoclast-driven bone resorption (Soriano et al, Cell, 1991, 64, 693-702; Boyce et al, J. Clin. Invest., 1992, 90, 1622-1627; Yoneda et al, J. Clin. Invest.. 1993, 91, 2791-2795 and Missbach et al, Bone, 1999, 24 , 437-49).
