Definitions
- TGF]S Transforming Growth Factor ⁇
- BMPs bone morphogenetic proteins
- GDFs growth and differentiation factors
- MIS mullerian inhibiting substance
- TGFjS exists in three isoforms (TGF/31, TGF /32, and TGF
- Each TGF/3 isoform is synthesized as a precursor protein that is cleaved intracellularly into a C-terminal region (latency associated peptide (LAP)) and an N-terminal region known as mature or active TGF/3.
- LAP latency associated peptide
- LAP-TGFjS complex cannot bind to the TGFjS receptors and is not biologically active.
- TGFjS is generally released (and activated) from the complex by a variety of mechanisms including, for example, interaction with thrombospondin-1 or plasmin.
- TGF/3 binds at high affinity to the type II receptor (TGF/3RII), a constitutively active serine/threonine kinase.
- TGF/3RII type II receptor
- the ligand-bound type II receptor phosphorylates the TGFjS type I receptor (AIk 5) in a glycine/serine rich domain, which allows the type I receptor to recruit and phosphorylate downstream signaling molecules, Smad2 or Smad3.
- TGFjS type I receptor AIk 5
- Phosphorylated Smad2 or Smad3 can then complex with Smad4, and the entire hetero-Smad complex translocates to the nucleus and regulates transcription of various TGF/3-responsive genes. See, e.g., Massague, J. Ann. Rev .Biochem. Med. 67: 773 (1998).
- Activins are also members of the TGF/3 superfamily which are distinct from TGF/3 in that they are homo- or heterodimers of activin /3a or ⁇ b. Activins signal in a similar manner to TGF/3 , that is, by binding to a constitutive serine-threonine receptor kinase, activin type II receptor (ActRIIB), and activating a type I serine-threonine receptor, AIk 4, to phosphorylate Smad2 or Smad3. The consequent formation of a hetero-Smad complex with Smad4 also results in the activin-induced regulation of gene transcription.
- TGF/3 and related factors such as activin regulate a large array of cellular processes, e.g., cell cycle arrest in epithelial and hematopoietic cells, control of mesenchymal cell proliferation and differentiation, inflammatory cell recruitment, immunosuppression, wound healing, and extracellular matrix production.
- cellular processes e.g., cell cycle arrest in epithelial and hematopoietic cells, control of mesenchymal cell proliferation and differentiation, inflammatory cell recruitment, immunosuppression, wound healing, and extracellular matrix production.
- TGF/3 signaling pathway underlies many human disorders (e.g., excess deposition of extracellular matrix, an abnormally high level of inflammatory responses, fibrotic disorders, and progressive cancers).
- activin signaling and overexpression of activin is linked to pathological disorders that involve extracellular matrix accumulation and fibrosis (see, e.g., Matsuse, T. et al., Am. J. Respir. Cell MoI. Biol. 13: 17-24 (1995); Inoue, S. et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 205: 441-448 (1994); Matsuse, T. et al, Am. J. Pathol.
- TGF/3 and activin can act synergistically to induce extracellular matrix (see, e.g., Sugiyama, M. et al., Gastroenterology 114: 550-558, (1998)). It is therefore desirable to develop modulators (e.g., antagonists) to signaling pathway components of the TGF/3 family to prevent/treat disorders related to the malfunctioning of this signaling pathway.
- modulators e.g., antagonists
- the invention is based on the discovery that compounds of formula (I) are unexpectedly potent antagonists of the TGF/3 family type I receptors, Alk5 and/or AIk 4.
- compounds of formula (I) can be employed in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases such as fibrosis (e.g., renal fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and hepatic fibrosis), progressive cancers, or other diseases for which reduction of TGF/3 family signaling activity is desirable.
- diseases such as fibrosis (e.g., renal fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and hepatic fibrosis), progressive cancers, or other diseases for which reduction of TGF/3 family signaling activity is desirable.

- the premixed solution of tritiated 4-(3-pyridin-2-yl-lH-pyrazol-4-yl)- quinoline and test compound of formula (I) was then added to the wells.
- Biological activity of compounds of formula (I) were determined by measuring their ability to inhibit TGF/3-induced PAI-Luciferase reporter activity in HepG2 cells.
- HepG2 cells were stably transfected with the PAI-luciferase reporter grown in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS, penicillin (100 U/mL), streptomycin (100 ⁇ g/mL), L-glutamine (2 mM), sodium pyruvate (1 mM), and non essential amino acids (Ix). The transfected cells were then plated at a concentration of 2.5 x 10 4 cells/well in 96 well plates and starved for 3-6 hours in media with 0.5% FBS at 37 0 C in a 5% CO 2 incubator.
- the cells were then stimulated with ligand either 2.5 ng/mL TGF/3 in the starvation media containing 1% DMSO and the presence or absence of test compounds of of formula (I) and incubated as described above for 24 hours.
- the media was washed out in the following day and the luciferase reporter activity was detected using the LucLite Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay kit (Packard, cat. no. 6016911) as recommended.
- the plates were read on a Wallac Microbeta plate reader, the reading of which was used to determine the IC5 0 values of compounds of formula (I) for inhibiting TGF
- Compounds of formula (I) typically exhibited IC50 values of less 10 ⁇ M.
- Cytotoxicity was determined using the same cell culture conditions as described above. Specifically, cell viability was determined after overnight incubation with the CytoLite cell viability kit (Packard, cat. no. 6016901). Compounds of formula (I) typically exhibited LD 25 values greater than 10 ⁇ M.
- test compounds of formula (I) are determined in a similar manner as described above in Example 13 except that 100 ng/mL of activin can be added to serum starved cells in place of the 2.5 ng/mL TGFjS.
- Fibroblasts are derived from the skin of adult transgenic mice expressing Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) under the control of the collagen IAl promoter (see Krempen, K. et al., Gene Exp. 8: 151-163 (1999)). Cells are immortalised with a temperature sensitive large T antigen that is active at 33 0 C. Cells are expanded at 33 0 C then transferred to 37 0 C so that the large T becomes inactive (see Xu, S. et al., Exp. Cell Res. 220: 407-414 (1995)). Over the course of about 4 days and one split, the cells cease proliferating. Cells are then frozen in aliquots sufficient for a single 96 well plate. Assay ofTGF ⁇ -induced Collagen-GFP Expression
- Cells are thawed, plated in complete DMEM (contains nonessential amino acids, ImM sodium pyruvate and 2mM L-glutamine) with 10 % fetal calf serum and incubated overnight at 37 0 C, 5% CO 2 . The following day, the cells are trypsinized and transferred into 96 well format with 30,000 cells per well in 50 ⁇ L complete DMEM containing 2 % fetal calf serum, but without phenol red.
- complete DMEM contains nonessential amino acids, ImM sodium pyruvate and 2mM L-glutamine
- test compounds of formula (I) are then added to triplicate wells with no TGFft as well as triplicate wells with 1 ng/mL TGF/3.
- DMSO was also added to all of the wells at a final concentration of 0.1%.
- GFP fluorescence emission at 530 nm following excitation at 485 nm was measured at 48 hours after the addition of solution containing test compounds on a CytoFluor microplate reader (PerSeptive Biosystems). The data are then expressed as the ratio of TGF/3-induced to non-induced for each test sample.
