Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compounds that inhibit phosphatases, compositions thereof, and methods of using those compounds and compositions for treating diseases .
  • phosphate group transfer Many biologically important functions are regulated by the transfer of a phosphate group. Often, the active or inactive form of a compound is determined by the presence or absence of a phosphate group bound to that compound. Accordingly, many biological enzymes are involved in regulating this phosphate group transfer. For example, kinase enzymes catalyze transfer of a phosphate group from a nucleoside triphosphate to a protein receptor. In contrast, phosphatase enzymes remove a phosphate group from a substrate by hydrolysis.
  • SHP-2 src homology 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase
  • SHPTP2 68 kDa phosphatase protein and is also known as SHPTP2 , Syp, PTPlD and PTP2C. Lu et al., Molecular Cell (2001) 8, 759. The enzyme is expressed in the cytoplasm of every tissue. SHP-2 is an important signaling enzyme, and the biological functions of SHP-2 have been extensively reviewed. Feng, Exp . Cell Res . (1999) 253, 45; Neel and Tonks, Curr. Opin . Cell Biol . (1997) 9, 193; Tonks, Adv. Pharmacol . (1996) 36, 91.
  • the enzyme is activated through interactions with a variety of ligands including growth factors, cytokine receptor tyrosine kinases, and adhesion molecules and is most notably recognized as a positive regulator of cell proliferation.
  • SHP-2 also plays an important function in immune signaling. Huyer and Alexander, Curr. Biol . (1999) 9, R129; Cohen et al . , Cell (1995) 80, 237.
  • the SHP-2 enzyme is required for activation of the Ras-MAP kinase cascade, although its precise role in the pathway is unclear. Van Vactor et al . , Curr. Opin . Genet . Dev. (1998) 8, 112.
  • SHP-2 has recently been identified as an intracellular target of Helicobacter pylori . Higashi et al . , Science (2002) 295, 683. Due to the critical role SHP-2 plays in various biological pathways, development of inhibitors against the enzyme would provide useful treatments for cancer and other autoimmune diseases.

Description

INHIBITORS OF PHOSPHATASES
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to compounds that inhibit phosphatases, compositions thereof, and methods of using those compounds and compositions for treating diseases .
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Many biologically important functions are regulated by the transfer of a phosphate group. Often, the active or inactive form of a compound is determined by the presence or absence of a phosphate group bound to that compound. Accordingly, many biological enzymes are involved in regulating this phosphate group transfer. For example, kinase enzymes catalyze transfer of a phosphate group from a nucleoside triphosphate to a protein receptor. In contrast, phosphatase enzymes remove a phosphate group from a substrate by hydrolysis.
[0003] SHP-2 (src homology 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase) is a 68 kDa phosphatase protein and is also known as SHPTP2 , Syp, PTPlD and PTP2C. Lu et al., Molecular Cell (2001) 8, 759. The enzyme is expressed in the cytoplasm of every tissue. SHP-2 is an important signaling enzyme, and the biological functions of SHP-2 have been extensively reviewed. Feng, Exp . Cell Res . (1999) 253, 45; Neel and Tonks, Curr. Opin . Cell Biol . (1997) 9, 193; Tonks, Adv. Pharmacol . (1996) 36, 91. The enzyme is activated through interactions with a variety of ligands including growth factors, cytokine receptor tyrosine kinases, and adhesion molecules and is most notably recognized as a positive regulator of cell proliferation. SHP-2 also plays an important function in immune signaling. Huyer and Alexander, Curr. Biol . (1999) 9, R129; Cohen et al . , Cell (1995) 80, 237. The SHP-2 enzyme is required for activation of the Ras-MAP kinase cascade, although its precise role in the pathway is unclear. Van Vactor et al . , Curr. Opin . Genet . Dev. (1998) 8, 112. SHP-2 has recently been identified as an intracellular target of Helicobacter pylori . Higashi et al . , Science (2002) 295, 683. Due to the critical role SHP-2 plays in various biological pathways, development of inhibitors against the enzyme would provide useful treatments for cancer and other autoimmune diseases.
[0004] Development of new chemical entities that modulate phosphatase enzymes such as SHP-2 would be an important advance and could lead to the development of novel treatments for diseases in which phosphatase enzymes play a critical role. The development of phosphatase modulators is an active area of research and has been extensively reviewed. Ripka, Annual Rev. Med. Chem. 2000, 35, Chapter 21 and references cited therein.
[0005] More recent work has focused on the development of new heterocyclic groups that can mimic a phosphate moiety, i.e. the development of phosphate isosteres. A successful phosphate isostere will ideally be both nonhydrolyzable and bioavailable. Successful phosphate mimicry will also depend on the shape and ionization state of the mimic. Examples of new heterocyclic groups designed to mimic a phosphate moiety include tetronic acid derivatives investigated against Cdc25b, Sodeoka et al., J. Med. Chem. (2001) 44(20), 3216, and the azoledinedione class of inhibitors that have been investigated against protein tyrosine phosphatase IB (PTB1B) . Malamas et al . , J. Med. Chem. (2000) 43, 995. However, the efficacy of these mimics is still being investigated.
[0006] There is still a great need to develop potent modulators of phosphatase enzymes and other enzymes that are involved in regulating the transfer of a phosphate group .

[0035] The compounds of the present invention may be readily prepared using methods known in the art. One such synthetic route is illustrated below in Scheme 1. One of skill in the art will recognize that this synthetic route can be readily exploited for other embodiments of formula (I) .
[0036] Scheme 1
Figure imgf000018_0001
Figure imgf000018_0002
[0037] Preparation of compounds of formula (I) is carried out following the generalized procedures outlined in Scheme 1. The preparation of quinazolinediones involves 4 basic steps-i) reductive alkylation, ii) loading to resin, iii) peptide coupling and iv) cyclization and release from the resin.
[0038] Step 1. Reductive alkylation of Anthranilic Acids
An anthranilic acid and aldehyde (4 eq) was dissolved in DCE at room temperature in the presence of acetic acid. After 15 minutes, sodium triacetoxyborohydride (4 eq) was added, and the solution stirred at room temperature (4-12 hrs . depending on the aldehyde used) . The reaction was quenched with excess IN NaOH and stirred for 20 minutes. The reaction was extracted several times with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification was carried out via silica gel column chromatography using ethyl acetate/hexanes . [0039] Saponification of the anthranilate esters was carried out by dissolving the ester in THF/MeOH and treated with 1 N lithium hydroxide at room temperature for 12 hrs . The reaction was concentrated to 1/3 the original volume, and poured into 10% NaOH. The solution was extracted with ether to remove unreacted material . The aqueous layer was collected and carefully acidified with IN HC1. In most cases the anthranilic acids precipitated from solution and were collected by filtration. In the event that precipitation did not occur, the aqueous solution was diluted with brine solution and extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to provide the desired anthranilic acids.
[0040] Step 2. Loading of Substituted Anthranilic acids to Resin
CAUTION: The following procedure involves the use of phosgene and should only be carried out by an experienced technician in a well-vented chemical hood.
Figure imgf000019_0001
Preparation of chloroformate resin 10 grams of hydroxymethyl polystyrene (1.2mmol/g loading) was weighed into a tared 250 ml peptide flask. The resin was washed with 100 ml dry THF and finally suspended in an additional 100 ml dry THF. To the resin suspension was added 25 ml (5.0 eq. , 2.54 M) of a phosgene solution in toluene. The flask was sealed tightly and swirled on an orbital shaker for 2-3 hours. The peptide flasks were drained under positive pressure, collecting the mother liquor into a flask containing concentrated (20%) aqueous sodium hydroxide/methanol solution.
Figure imgf000020_0001
The chloroformate resin was subsequently washed 2x 100 ml dry THF, 2x 100 ml dry DCM using positive pressure to drain the vessel. A 100 ml DCM solution containing the anthranilic acid (3eq) and DIEA (10 eq) was added quickly to the freshly prepared chloroformate resin and the flasks resealed and swirled on the orbital shaker for an additional 3 x hours. The resins were drained, washed and washed extensively. The resins were dried under high vacuum overnight . The approximate loading was determined by weight gain. Typical loadings of 0.7-0.9 mmol/g were routinely obtainable using this method.
[0041]
Step 3. Coupling of Amino Acids to anthranilic acid functionalized resin l-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) solutions of HOBT (1M) , HBTU (0.5 M) , amino acid ester (1M) and Hunigs base (2M) were made freshly prior to carrying out the coupling reactions . The resin was suspended in NMP and a solution of HOBT (5 eq) was added followed by the addition of HBTU (5.0 eq) . The reaction was sealed and shaken for 15 minutes . The vessel was unsealed and the reaction block placed on the Packard for addition of the remaining reagents. After 15 minutes, the solution of amino ester (4 eq) was added followed by the addition of diisopropyl ethylamine (5 eq) . The reaction vessel was resealed and shaken for 18 hours at room temperature, after which the resin was subsequently washed extensively.
[0042]
Step 4. Product formation and Isolation
Figure imgf000021_0001
Cleavage of the products from the resins and isolation of the quinazoline-2 , 4-diones was carried out as follows. A solution of 10% triethylamine in methanol was added to the resin and the reaction vessel heated for 20 hours at 60-65°C. After the desired time, the reaction was cooled slightly and the mother liquor collected. The resin was washed 2x with methanol and the washings combined with the mother liquor. Concentration of the solution using a rotovaporator provided the desired quinazolinediones .
[0043] Subsequent removal of the butyl protecting groups was carried out by adding 1.5 mL of 95:3:2 TFA:water: triisopropyl silane to the crude quinazolinediones for 3 hrs at room temperature. The TFA solution was removed under vacuum and the compounds purified by C18 chromatography. [0044] Preparation of compounds of formula (II) is carried out following the generalized procedures outlined in Scheme 2 below:

6-Hydroxy-lH-indole-2-carboxylic acid (5.40 g, 30.48 mmol) is dissolved in THF (100 ml) and imidazole (10.38, 152.4 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred for 5 minutes, TBDMS-C1 (13.78 g, 91.44 mmol) is added. The reaction is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture is filtered into water (200 ml) . The solid is washed with THF (50 ml) . The filtrate is concentrated to remove THF. The product is extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml) three times. The organic is dried (MgS04) , filtered, and concentrated to provide 6- (tert-Butyl- dimethyl-silanyloxy) -lH-indole-2-carboxylic acid (8.0 g, 90% yield).

1M LAH in THF (103 ml) is cooled to 0°C . A solution of 6- (tert-Butyl-di ethyl-silanyloxy) -lH-indole-2-carboxylic acid (6.0 g, 20.60 mmol) in THF (30 ml) is added slowly. The reaction is stirred at room temperature for two days, quenched with water (10 ml) , IN NaOH (10 ml) and water (20 ml) . To the mixture MgS04 is added. The mixture is filtered, washed with 10% methanol in ethyl acetate (200 ml) . The filtrate is concentrated to oil. The crude is purified by column chromatography (20% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to provide [6- ( ert-Butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy) -lH-indol-2-yl] -methanol (2.30 g, 40% yield). ^Η NMR (400 MHz, DMS0-d6) : δ 10.72 (s, IH) , 7.28 (d, IH) , 6.76 (s, IH) , 6.50 (m, IH) , 6.16 (s, IH) , 5.13 (t, IH) , 4.52 (d, 2H) , 0.96 (s, 9H) , 0.17 (s, 6H) .
