Definitions
- This invention relates to imidazopyridine compounds which inhibit members of the aurora kinase family of enzymes and to their use in the treatment of cell proliferative diseases, including cancer, and inflammation.
- DNA is packaged with histones, to form chromatin.
- chromatin Approximately 150 base pairs of DNA are wrapped twice around an octamer of histones (two each of histones 2A, 2B, 3 and 4) to form a nucleosome, the basic unit of chromatin.
- the ordered structure of chromatin needs to be modified in order to allow transcription of the associated genes. Transcriptional regulation is key to differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, and is, therefore, tightly controlled. Control of the changes in chromatin structure (and hence of transcription) is mediated by covalent modifications to histones, most notably of the N-terminal tails.
- Covalent modifications for example methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination
- Covalent modifications for example methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination
- Covalent modifications of the side chains of amino acids are enzymatically mediated
- a review of the covalent modifications of histones and their role in transcriptional regulation can be found in Berger SL 2001 Oncogene 20, 3007-3013; See Grunstein, M 1997 Nature 389, 349-352; Wolffe AP 1996 Science 272, 371-372; and Wade PA et al 1997 Trends Biochem Sci 22, 128-132 for reviews of histone acetylation and transcription).
- the aurora kinases are a family of serine/threonine kinases which have been identified as key regulators of the mitotic cell division process (Bischoff and Plowman, 1999 Trends Cell Biol 9, 454-459) which may become deregulated in cancer and other hyperproliferative diseases (Warner et al, 2003, MoI Can Ther 2, 589-595).
- the three members of this family identified so far are referred to as Aurora- A, Aurora-B and Aurora-C.
- Higher eukaryotic cells typically express two or more Aurora kinases. It has been shown that inhibition of Aurora B affects several facets of mitosis including histone H3 phosphorylation, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis.
- Aurora A and C localise to spindle poles with Aurora A being required for bipolar spindle formation in a number of systems (Giet and Prigent, 1999, J. Cell. Sci 11 , 3591-3601).
- Aurora A and B have been shown to be overexpressed in a number of human cancers and their overexpression in cells in vitro leads to transformation, centrosome abnormalities and aneuploidy (Bischoff et al, 1998, EMBO J. 17, 3052).
- Cells which overexpress Aurora A have been shown to form tumours in aythymic mice.
- the observations contained in these manuscripts suggest that increase in Aurora kinase activity may serve to promote tumour development by providing growth advantage or by inducing genetic instability and that Aurora Kinase inhibition should have therapeutic benefit in cancer.
- aurora kinase inhibitors see for example WO 02/00649, WO 2004/000833, WO 03/055491, WO 2004/058752, WO 2004/058781 , WO 04105765, WO 05004872, WO 04113324, US 6143764 and US 2004/0049032, but the foregoing is by no means an exhaustive list.

- Method A (10 mins) - nominal mass, LC injection with a 10 minute gradient (MeOH and 0.1% formic acid), positive ionisation and an injection volume of 3 ⁇ L.
- Method B (6 mins) - nominal mass, LC injection with a 6 minute gradient (MeOH and 0.1% formic acid), positive ionisation and an injection volume of 2 ⁇ L.
- GC-MS Instrument: Thermo Finnigan TraceGC with Polaris Q Mass spec Ionisation method: Cl (Methane); Carrier Gas: Helium; Column: Phenomenex Zebron (length: 15m, i.d.: 0.25mm, thickness: 0.25 uM); Operating temperatures: 80-300 0 C
- the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 30 ml), and the combined organics were washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO 3 (40 ml), brine (50 ml), dried (Na 2 SO 4 ), and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was absorbed on silica gel and the free running powder was placed on a 50 g isolute silica column.
- reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, absorbed on silica gel, and the free running powder was placed on a 10 g isolute silica column which was eluted with ethyl acetate/dichloromethane (v/v; 1 :1) and then 5% methanol in ethyl acetate/dichloromethane (v/v; 1 :1).
- the crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/ethyl acetate 7:3 + 0.5% methanol to 2% methanol in ethyl acetate).
- the isolated product was further triturated in ether / methanol 9:1 , filtered, and dried in vacuo to give the title compound as a pale yellow solid (0.049 g, 34%);
- the crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel (100% chloroform to chloroform / methanol 10:1 ). The isolated fraction was run through a 2g SCX cartridge and the compound eluted with 0.1 M NH 3 in methanol to give the title compound as a white solid (0.30 g, 68%);
- the crude product was purified by chromatography on silica gel (100% ethyl acetate to ethyl acetate/methanol 9:1 to chloroform/methanol 9:1). The isolated fraction was run through a 2g SCX cartridge and the compound was eluted with 0.1 M NH 3 in methanol to give the title compound as a glass solid (0.02Og, 20%);
