Definitions

  • the present invention relates to morpholino pyrimidine derivatives, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, for example in the treatment of proliferative disease such as cancer and particularly in disease mediated by an mTOR kinase and/or one or more PD K enzyme.
  • tumour-suppressor genes contributes to the formation of malignant tumours, for example by way of increased cell proliferation or increased cell survival. It is also known that signalling pathways mediated by the PI3K/mT0R families have a central role in a number of cell processes including proliferation and survival, and deregulation of these pathways is a causative factor in a wide spectrum of human cancers and other diseases.
  • the mammalian target of the macrolide antibiotic Rapamycin is the enzyme mTOR.
  • This enzymes belongs to the phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase-related kinase (PIKK) family of protein kinases, which also includes ATM, ATR, DNA-PK and hSMG-1.
  • PIKK phosphatidylinositol
  • mTOR like other PIKK family members, does not possess detectable lipid kinase activity, but instead functions as a serine/threonine kinase. Much of the knowledge of mTOR signalling is based upon the use of Rapamycin.
  • Rapamycin first binds to the 12 kDa immunophilin FK506-binding protein (FKBP 12) and this complex inhibits mTOR signalling (Tee and Blenis, Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2005, 16, 29-37).
  • the mTOR protein consists of a catalytic kinase domain, an FKBP12-Rapamycin binding (FRB) domain, a putative repressor domain near the C-terminus and up to 20 tandemly-repeated HEAT motifs at the iV-terminus, as well as FRAP- ATM-TRRAP (F AT) and FAT C-terminus domain (Huang and Houghton, Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2003, 3, 371-377).
  • mTOR kinase is a key regulator of cell growth and has been shown to regulate a wide range of cellular functions including translation, transcription, mRNA turnover, protein stability, actin cytoskeleton reorganisation and autophagy (Jacinto and Hall, Nature Reviews Molecular and Cell Biology, 2005, 4, 117-126).
  • mTOR kinase integrates signals from growth factors (such as insulin or insulin-like growth factor) and nutrients (such as amino acids and glucose) to regulate cell growth.
  • growth factors such as insulin or insulin-like growth factor
  • nutrients such as amino acids and glucose
  • mTOR kinase The most well characterised function of mTOR kinase in mammalian cells is regulation of translation through two pathways, namely activation of ribosomal S6K1 to enhance translation of mRNAs that bear a 5 '-terminal oligopyrimidine tract (TOP) and suppression of 4E-BP1 to allow CAP-dependeht mRNA translation.
  • TOP 5 '-terminal oligopyrimidine tract
  • Rapamycin displays variable inhibitory actions on mTOR signalling functions and suggest that direct inhibition of the mTOR kinase domain may display substantially broader anticancer activities than that achieved by Rapamycin (Edinger et al., Cancer Research, 2003, 63, 8451-8460). For this reason, potent and selective inhibitors of mTOR kinase activity would be useful to allow a more complete understanding of mTOR kinase function and to provide useful therapeutic agents.
  • PI3K pathway the pathways upstream of mTOR, such as the PI3K pathway, are frequently activated in cancer.
  • components of the PI3 K pathway that are mutated in different human tumours include activating mutations of growth factor receptors and the amplification and/or overexpression of PI3K and Akt.
  • endothelial cell proliferation may also be dependent upon mTOR signalling.
  • Endothelial cell proliferation is stimulated by vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) activation of the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signalling pathway (Dancey, Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2005, 14, 313-328).
  • VEGF vascular endothelial cell growth factor
  • mTOR kinase signalling is believed to partially control VEGF synthesis through effects on the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor- l ⁇ (HIF- l ⁇ ) (Hudson et al, Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2002, 22, 7004-7014).
  • tumour angiogenesis may depend on mTOR kinase signalling in two ways, through hypoxia-induced synthesis of VEGF by tumour and stromal cells, and through VEGF stimulation of endothelial proliferation and survival through PI3K-Akt-mTOR signalling.
  • pharmacological inhibitors of mTOR kinase should be of therapeutic value for treatment of the various forms of cancer comprising solid tumours such as carcinomas and sarcomas and the leukaemias and lymphoid malignancies.
  • inhibitors of mTOR kinase should be of therapeutic value for treatment of, for example, cancer of the breast, colorectum, lung (including small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and bronchioalveolar cancer) and prostate, and of cancer of the bile duct, bone, bladder, head and neck, kidney, liver, gastrointestinal tissue, oesophagus, ovary, pancreas, skin, testes, thyroid, uterus, cervix and vulva, and of leukaemias (including ALL and CML), multiple myeloma and lymphomas.
  • cancer of the breast, colorectum, lung (including small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and bronchioalveolar cancer) and prostate and of cancer of the bile duct, bone, bladder, head and neck, kidney, liver, gastrointestinal tissue, oesophagus, ovary, pancreas, skin, testes, thyroid, uterus, cervix and vulva,
  • tumour suppressor proteins such as TSCl, TSC2, PTEN and LKBl tightly control mTOR kinase signalling. Loss of these tumour suppressor proteins leads to a range of hamartoma conditions as a result of elevated mTOR kinase signalling (Tee and Blenis, Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2005, 16, 29-37).
  • mTOR kinase Syndromes with an established molecular link to dysregulation of mTOR kinase include Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), Cowden disease, Bannayan-Riley- Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS), Proteus syndrome, Lhermitte-Duclos disease and Tuberous Sclerosis (TSC) (Inoki et ah, Nature Genetics, 2005, 37, 19-24). Patients with these syndromes characteristically develop benign hamartomatous tumours in multiple organs. Recent studies have revealed a role for mTOR kinase in other diseases (Easton &
  • Rapamycin has been demonstrated to be a potent immunosuppressant by inhibiting antigen-induced proliferation of T cells, B cells and antibody production (Sehgal, Transplantation Proceedings, 2003, 35, 7S- 14S) and thus mTOR kinase inhibitors may also be useful immunosuppressives. Inhibition of the kinase activity of mTOR may also be useful in the prevention of restenosis, that is the control of undesired proliferation of normal cells in the vasculature in response to the introduction of stents in the treatment of vasculature disease (Morice et ah, New England Journal of Medicine, 2002, 346, 1773-1780).
  • mTOR kinase inhibitors are expected to be of value in the prevention and treatment of a wide variety of diseases in addition to cancer.

  • PI(3)P phosphatidylinositol 3 -monophosphate
  • PI(3)P is constitutively present in all cells and its levels do not change dramatically following agonist stimulation.
  • PI(3,4)P 2 and PI(3,4,5)P 3 are nominally absent in most cells but they rapidly accumulate on agonist stimulation.
  • PBK-produced 3-phosphoinositide second messengers are mediated by target molecules containing 3-phosphoinositide binding domains such as the is pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and the recently identified FYVE and phox domains.
  • target molecules containing 3-phosphoinositide binding domains such as the is pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and the recently identified FYVE and phox domains.
  • Well-characterised protein targets for PBK include PDKl and protein kinase B (PKB).
  • PKA protein kinase B
  • tyrosine kinases like Btk and Itk are dependent on PBK activity.
  • the PBK family of lipid kinases can be classified into three groups according to their physiological substrate specificity (Vanhaesebroeck et al, Trends in Biol. ScL, 1997, 22,
  • Class III PBK enzymes phosphorylate PI alone.
  • Class II PBK enzymes phosphorylate both PI and PI 4-phosphate [PI(4)P].
  • Class I PBK enzymes phosphorylate PI, PI(4)P and PI 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P 2 ], although only PI(4,5)P 2 is believed to be the physiological cellular substrate. Phosphorylation of PI(4,5)P 2 produces the lipid second messenger PI(3,4,5)P 3 . More distantly related members of the lipid kinase superfamily are
  • Class IV kinases such as mTOR (discussed above) and DNA-dependent kinase that phosphorylate serine/threonine residues within protein substrates.
  • mTOR DNA-dependent kinase that phosphorylate serine/threonine residues within protein substrates.
  • PBK lipid kinases The most studied and understood of the PBK lipid kinases are the Class I PBK enzymes.
  • Class I PBKs are heterodimers consisting of a pi 10 catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit.
  • the family is further divided into Class Ia and Class Ib enzymes on the basis of
  • Class Ia enzymes consist of three distinct catalytic subunits (pi 10a, pi lO ⁇ and pi 105) that dimerise with five distinct regulatory subunits (p85 ⁇ , p55 ⁇ , p50 ⁇ , p85 ⁇ and p55 ⁇ ), with all catalytic subunits being able to interact with all regulatory subunits to form a variety of heterodimers.
  • Class Ia PBKs are generally activated in response to growth factor-stimulation of receptor tyrosine kinases via interaction of their regulatory subunit SH2 domains with specific phospho-tyrosine residues of activated receptor or adaptor proteins such as IRS-I.
  • the pi 10a subunit is amplified in some tumours such as those of the ovary (Shayesteh et al, Nature Genetics, 1999, 21, 99-102) and cervix (Ma et al, Oncogene, 2000, 19, 2739-2744). More recently, activating mutations within the catalytic site of the pi 10a catalytic subunit have been associated with various other tumours such as those of the colorectal region and of the breast and lung (Samuels et al, Science, 2004, 304, 554).
  • Tumour-related mutations in the p85 ⁇ regulatory subunit have also been identified in cancers such as those of the ovary and colon (Philp et al., Cancer Research, 2001, 61, 7426-7429).
  • activation of Class Ia PBKs contributes to tumourigenic events that occur upstream in signalling pathways, for example by way of ligand-dependent or ligand- independent activation of receptor tyrosine kinases, GPCR systems or integrins (Vara et al., Cancer Treatment Reviews, 2004, 30, 193-204).
  • upstream signalling pathways examples include over-expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase erbB2 in a variety of tumours leading to activation of PBK-mediated pathways (Harari et al, Oncogene, 2000, 19, 6102-6114) and over-expression of the ras oncogene (Kauffmann-Zeh et al, Nature, 1997, 385, 544-548).
  • Class Ia PBKs may contribute indirectly to tumourigenesis caused by various downstream signalling events.
  • loss of the effect of the PTEN tumour-suppressor phosphatase that catalyses conversion of PI(3,4,5)P 3 back to PI(4,5)P 2 is associated with a very broad range of tumours via deregulation of PBK-mediated production of PI(3,4,5)P 3 (Simpson and Parsons, Exp. Cell Res., 2001, 264, 29-41).
  • augmentation of the effects of other PI3K-mediated signalling events is believed to contribute to a variety of cancers, for example by activation of Akt (Nicholson and Anderson, Cellular Signalling, 2002, 14, 381-395).
  • Class Ia PI3K enzymes contribute to tumourigenesis in tumour- associated stromal cells.
  • PI3K signalling is known to play an important role in mediating angiogenic events in endothelial cells in response to pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGF (Abid et al, Arterioscler. Thromb. Vase. Biol., 2004, 24, 294-300).

Description

MORPHOLINO PYRIMIDINE DERIVATIVES USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF PROLIFERATIVE
DISORDERS
The present invention relates to morpholino pyrimidine derivatives, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy, for example in the treatment of proliferative disease such as cancer and particularly in disease mediated by an mTOR kinase and/or one or more PD K enzyme.
It is now well understood that deregulation of oncogenes and tumour-suppressor genes contributes to the formation of malignant tumours, for example by way of increased cell proliferation or increased cell survival. It is also known that signalling pathways mediated by the PI3K/mT0R families have a central role in a number of cell processes including proliferation and survival, and deregulation of these pathways is a causative factor in a wide spectrum of human cancers and other diseases.
The mammalian target of the macrolide antibiotic Rapamycin (sirolimus) is the enzyme mTOR. This enzymes belongs to the phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase-related kinase (PIKK) family of protein kinases, which also includes ATM, ATR, DNA-PK and hSMG-1. mTOR, like other PIKK family members, does not possess detectable lipid kinase activity, but instead functions as a serine/threonine kinase. Much of the knowledge of mTOR signalling is based upon the use of Rapamycin. Rapamycin first binds to the 12 kDa immunophilin FK506-binding protein (FKBP 12) and this complex inhibits mTOR signalling (Tee and Blenis, Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2005, 16, 29-37). The mTOR protein consists of a catalytic kinase domain, an FKBP12-Rapamycin binding (FRB) domain, a putative repressor domain near the C-terminus and up to 20 tandemly-repeated HEAT motifs at the iV-terminus, as well as FRAP- ATM-TRRAP (F AT) and FAT C-terminus domain (Huang and Houghton, Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2003, 3, 371-377). mTOR kinase is a key regulator of cell growth and has been shown to regulate a wide range of cellular functions including translation, transcription, mRNA turnover, protein stability, actin cytoskeleton reorganisation and autophagy (Jacinto and Hall, Nature Reviews Molecular and Cell Biology, 2005, 4, 117-126). mTOR kinase integrates signals from growth factors (such as insulin or insulin-like growth factor) and nutrients (such as amino acids and glucose) to regulate cell growth. mTOR kinase is activated by growth factors through the PI3K-Akt pathway. The most well characterised function of mTOR kinase in mammalian cells is regulation of translation through two pathways, namely activation of ribosomal S6K1 to enhance translation of mRNAs that bear a 5 '-terminal oligopyrimidine tract (TOP) and suppression of 4E-BP1 to allow CAP-dependeht mRNA translation.
Generally, investigators have explored the physiological and pathological roles of mTOR using inhibition with Rapamycin and related Rapamycin analogues based on their specificity for mTOR as an intracellular target. However, recent data suggests that
Rapamycin displays variable inhibitory actions on mTOR signalling functions and suggest that direct inhibition of the mTOR kinase domain may display substantially broader anticancer activities than that achieved by Rapamycin (Edinger et al., Cancer Research, 2003, 63, 8451-8460). For this reason, potent and selective inhibitors of mTOR kinase activity would be useful to allow a more complete understanding of mTOR kinase function and to provide useful therapeutic agents.
There is now considerable evidence indicating that the pathways upstream of mTOR, such as the PI3K pathway, are frequently activated in cancer (Vivanco and Sawyers, Nature Reviews Cancer, 2002, 2, 489-501; Bjornsti and Houghton, Nature Reviews Cancer, 2004, 4, 335-348; Inoki et al, Nature Genetics, 2005, 37, 19-24). For example, components of the PI3 K pathway that are mutated in different human tumours include activating mutations of growth factor receptors and the amplification and/or overexpression of PI3K and Akt.
In addition there is evidence that endothelial cell proliferation may also be dependent upon mTOR signalling. Endothelial cell proliferation is stimulated by vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) activation of the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signalling pathway (Dancey, Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2005, 14, 313-328). Moreover, mTOR kinase signalling is believed to partially control VEGF synthesis through effects on the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor- lα (HIF- lα) (Hudson et al, Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2002, 22, 7004-7014). Therefore, tumour angiogenesis may depend on mTOR kinase signalling in two ways, through hypoxia-induced synthesis of VEGF by tumour and stromal cells, and through VEGF stimulation of endothelial proliferation and survival through PI3K-Akt-mTOR signalling.
These findings suggest that pharmacological inhibitors of mTOR kinase should be of therapeutic value for treatment of the various forms of cancer comprising solid tumours such as carcinomas and sarcomas and the leukaemias and lymphoid malignancies. In particular, inhibitors of mTOR kinase should be of therapeutic value for treatment of, for example, cancer of the breast, colorectum, lung (including small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and bronchioalveolar cancer) and prostate, and of cancer of the bile duct, bone, bladder, head and neck, kidney, liver, gastrointestinal tissue, oesophagus, ovary, pancreas, skin, testes, thyroid, uterus, cervix and vulva, and of leukaemias (including ALL and CML), multiple myeloma and lymphomas. In addition to tumourigenesis, there is evidence that mTOR kinase plays a role in an array of hamartoma syndromes. Recent studies have shown that the tumour suppressor proteins such as TSCl, TSC2, PTEN and LKBl tightly control mTOR kinase signalling. Loss of these tumour suppressor proteins leads to a range of hamartoma conditions as a result of elevated mTOR kinase signalling (Tee and Blenis, Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2005, 16, 29-37). Syndromes with an established molecular link to dysregulation of mTOR kinase include Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), Cowden disease, Bannayan-Riley- Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS), Proteus syndrome, Lhermitte-Duclos disease and Tuberous Sclerosis (TSC) (Inoki et ah, Nature Genetics, 2005, 37, 19-24). Patients with these syndromes characteristically develop benign hamartomatous tumours in multiple organs. Recent studies have revealed a role for mTOR kinase in other diseases (Easton &
Houghton, Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets, 2004, 8, 551-564). Rapamycin has been demonstrated to be a potent immunosuppressant by inhibiting antigen-induced proliferation of T cells, B cells and antibody production (Sehgal, Transplantation Proceedings, 2003, 35, 7S- 14S) and thus mTOR kinase inhibitors may also be useful immunosuppressives. Inhibition of the kinase activity of mTOR may also be useful in the prevention of restenosis, that is the control of undesired proliferation of normal cells in the vasculature in response to the introduction of stents in the treatment of vasculature disease (Morice et ah, New England Journal of Medicine, 2002, 346, 1773-1780). Furthermore, the Rapamycin analogue, everolimus, can reduce the severity and incidence of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (Eisen et al, New England Journal of Medicine, 2003, 349, 847-858). Elevated mTOR kinase activity has been associated with cardiac hypertrophy, which is of clinical importance as a major risk factor for heart failure and is a consequence of increased cellular size of cardiomyocytes (Tee & Blenis, Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2005, 16, 29-37). Thus mTOR kinase inhibitors are expected to be of value in the prevention and treatment of a wide variety of diseases in addition to cancer.
It is also believed that a number of these morpholino pyrimidine derivatives may have inhibitory activity against the phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3 -kinases family of kinases. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3 -kinases (PBKs) are ubiquitous lipid kinases that function both as signal transducers downstream of cell-surface receptors and in constitutive intracellular membrane and protein trafficking pathways. AU PBKs are dual-specificity enzymes with a lipid kinase activity that phosphorylates phosphoinositides at the 3 -hydroxy
5 position, and a less well characterised protein kinase activity. The lipid products of PBK- catalysed reactions comprising phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3], phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2] and phosphatidylinositol 3 -monophosphate [PI(3)P] constitute second messengers in a variety of signal transduction pathways, including those essential to cell proliferation, adhesion, survival, cytoskeletal rearrangement and vesicle io trafficking. PI(3)P is constitutively present in all cells and its levels do not change dramatically following agonist stimulation. Conversely, PI(3,4)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3 are nominally absent in most cells but they rapidly accumulate on agonist stimulation.
The downstream effects of PBK-produced 3-phosphoinositide second messengers are mediated by target molecules containing 3-phosphoinositide binding domains such as the is pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and the recently identified FYVE and phox domains. Well-characterised protein targets for PBK include PDKl and protein kinase B (PKB). In addition, tyrosine kinases like Btk and Itk are dependent on PBK activity.
The PBK family of lipid kinases can be classified into three groups according to their physiological substrate specificity (Vanhaesebroeck et al, Trends in Biol. ScL, 1997, 22,
20 267). Class III PBK enzymes phosphorylate PI alone. In contrast, Class II PBK enzymes phosphorylate both PI and PI 4-phosphate [PI(4)P]. Class I PBK enzymes phosphorylate PI, PI(4)P and PI 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], although only PI(4,5)P2 is believed to be the physiological cellular substrate. Phosphorylation of PI(4,5)P2 produces the lipid second messenger PI(3,4,5)P3. More distantly related members of the lipid kinase superfamily are
25 Class IV kinases such as mTOR (discussed above) and DNA-dependent kinase that phosphorylate serine/threonine residues within protein substrates. The most studied and understood of the PBK lipid kinases are the Class I PBK enzymes.
Class I PBKs are heterodimers consisting of a pi 10 catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit. The family is further divided into Class Ia and Class Ib enzymes on the basis of
30 regulatory partners and the mechanism of regulation. Class Ia enzymes consist of three distinct catalytic subunits (pi 10a, pi lOβ and pi 105) that dimerise with five distinct regulatory subunits (p85α, p55α, p50α, p85β and p55γ), with all catalytic subunits being able to interact with all regulatory subunits to form a variety of heterodimers. Class Ia PBKs are generally activated in response to growth factor-stimulation of receptor tyrosine kinases via interaction of their regulatory subunit SH2 domains with specific phospho-tyrosine residues of activated receptor or adaptor proteins such as IRS-I. Both pi 10α and pi lOβ are constitutively expressed in all cell types, whereas pi lOδ expression is more restricted to leukocyte populations and some epithelial cells. In contrast, the single Class Ib enzyme consists of a pi lOγ catalytic subunit that interacts with a pi 01 regulatory subunit. Furthermore, the Class Ib enzyme is activated in response to G-protein coupled receptor systems (GPCRs) and its expression appears to be limited to leukocytes and cardiomyocytes. There is now considerable evidence indicating that Class Ia PI3K enzymes contribute to tumourigenesis in a wide variety of human cancers, either directly or indirectly (Vivanco and Sawyers, Nature Reviews Cancer, 2002, 2, 489-501). For example, the pi 10a subunit is amplified in some tumours such as those of the ovary (Shayesteh et al, Nature Genetics, 1999, 21, 99-102) and cervix (Ma et al, Oncogene, 2000, 19, 2739-2744). More recently, activating mutations within the catalytic site of the pi 10a catalytic subunit have been associated with various other tumours such as those of the colorectal region and of the breast and lung (Samuels et al, Science, 2004, 304, 554). Tumour-related mutations in the p85α regulatory subunit have also been identified in cancers such as those of the ovary and colon (Philp et al., Cancer Research, 2001, 61, 7426-7429). In addition to direct effects, it is believed that activation of Class Ia PBKs contributes to tumourigenic events that occur upstream in signalling pathways, for example by way of ligand-dependent or ligand- independent activation of receptor tyrosine kinases, GPCR systems or integrins (Vara et al., Cancer Treatment Reviews, 2004, 30, 193-204). Examples of such upstream signalling pathways include over-expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase erbB2 in a variety of tumours leading to activation of PBK-mediated pathways (Harari et al, Oncogene, 2000, 19, 6102-6114) and over-expression of the ras oncogene (Kauffmann-Zeh et al, Nature, 1997, 385, 544-548). In addition, Class Ia PBKs may contribute indirectly to tumourigenesis caused by various downstream signalling events. For example, loss of the effect of the PTEN tumour-suppressor phosphatase that catalyses conversion of PI(3,4,5)P3 back to PI(4,5)P2 is associated with a very broad range of tumours via deregulation of PBK-mediated production of PI(3,4,5)P3 (Simpson and Parsons, Exp. Cell Res., 2001, 264, 29-41). Furthermore, augmentation of the effects of other PI3K-mediated signalling events is believed to contribute to a variety of cancers, for example by activation of Akt (Nicholson and Anderson, Cellular Signalling, 2002, 14, 381-395).
In addition to a role in mediating proliferative and survival signalling in tumour cells, there is evidence that Class Ia PI3K enzymes contribute to tumourigenesis in tumour- associated stromal cells. For example, PI3K signalling is known to play an important role in mediating angiogenic events in endothelial cells in response to pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGF (Abid et al, Arterioscler. Thromb. Vase. Biol., 2004, 24, 294-300). As Class I PI3K enzymes are also involved in motility and migration (Sawyer, Expert Opinion Investig. Drugs, 2004, 13, 1-19), PI3K enzyme inhibitors should provide therapeutic benefit via inhibition of tumour cell invasion and metastasis. In addition, Class I PI3K enzymes play an important role in the regulation of immune cells contributing to pro-tumourigenic effects of inflammatory cells (Coussens and Werb, Nature, 2002, 420, 860-867).
These findings suggest that pharmacological inhibitors of Class I PI3K enzymes will be of therapeutic value for the treatment of various diseases including different forms of the disease of cancer comprising solid tumours such as carcinomas and sarcomas and the leukaemias and lymphoid malignancies. In particular, inhibitors of Class I PI3K enzymes should be of therapeutic value for treatment of, for example, cancer of the breast, colorectum, lung (including small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and bronchioalveolar cancer) and prostate, and of cancer of the bile duct, bone, bladder, head and neck, kidney, liver, gastrointestinal tissue, oesophagus, ovary, pancreas, skin, testes, thyroid, uterus, cervix and vulva, and of leukaemias (including ALL and CML), multiple myeloma and lymphomas. PI3Kγ, the Class Ib PI3K, is activated by GPCRs, as was finally demonstrated in mice lacking the enzyme. Thus, neutrophils and macrophages derived from PI3Kγ-deflcient animals failed to produce PI(3,4,5)P3 in response to stimulation with various chemotactic substances (such as IL-8, C5a, fMLP and MIP-Ia)5 whereas signalling through protein tyrosine kinase-coupled receptors to Class Ia PDKs was intact (Hirsch et ah, Science, 2000, 287(5455), 1049-1053; Li et al, Science, 2002, 287(5455), 1046-1049; Sasaki et al, Science 2002, 287(5455), 1040-1046). Furthermore, PI(3,4,5)P3-mediated phosphorylation of PKB was not initiated by these GPCR ligands in PI3Kγ-null cells. Taken together, the results demonstrated that, at least in resting haematopoietic cells, PI3Kγ is the sole PI3K isoform that is activated by GPCRs in vivo. When murine bone marrow-derived neutrophils and peritoneal macrophages from wild-type and PBKγ" " mice were tested in vitro, a reduced, but not completely abrogated, performance in chemotaxis and adherence assays was observed. However, this translated into a drastic impairment of IL- 8 driven neutrophil infiltration into tissues (Hirsch et ah, Science, 2000, 287(5455), 1049-1053.). Recent data suggest that PBKγ is involved in the path finding process rather than in the generation of mechanical force for motility, as random migration was not impaired in cells that lacked PBKγ (Hannigan et ah, Proc. Nat. Acad, of Sciences of U.S.A., 2002, 99(6), 3603-8). Data linking PBKγ to respiratory disease pathology came with the demonstration that PBKγ has a central role in regulating endotoxin-induced lung infiltration and activation of neutrophils leading to acute lung injury (Yum et ah, J. Immunology, 2001, 167(11), 6601-8). The fact that although PBKγ is highly expressed in leucocytes, its loss seems not to interfere with haematopoiesis, and the fact that PBKγ-null mice are viable and fertile further implicates this PBK isoform as a potential drug target. Work with knockout mice also established that PBKγ is an essential amplifier of mast cell activation (Laffargue et ah, Immunity, 2002, 16(3), 441-451). Thus, in addition to tumourigenesis, there is evidence that Class I PBK enzymes play a role in other diseases (Wymann et ah, Trends in Pharmacological Science, 2003, 24, 366- 376). Both Class Ia PBK enzymes and the single Class Ib enzyme have important roles in cells of the immune system (Koyasu, Nature Immunology, 2003, 4, 313-319) and thus they are therapeutic targets for inflammatory and allergic indications. Recent reports demonstrate that mice deficient in PBKγ and PBKδ are viable, but have attenuated inflammatory and allergic responses (AIi et ah, Nature, 2004, 431(7011), 1007-11). Inhibition of PBK is also useful to treat cardiovascular disease via anti-inflammatory effects or directly by affecting cardiac myocytes (Prasad et ah, Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2003, 13, 206-212). Thus, inhibitors of Class I PBK enzymes are expected to be of value in the prevention and treatment of a wide variety of diseases in addition to cancer.
Several compounds that inhibit PBKs and phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinase-related kinase (PBKKs) have been identified, including wortmannin and the quercetin derivative LY294002. These compounds are reasonably specific inhibitors of PBKs and PBKKs over other kinases but they lack potency and display little selectivity within the PBK families. Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide further effective mTOR and/or PD K inhibitors for use in the treatment of cancer, inflammatory or obstructive airways diseases, immune or cardiovascular diseases.
Morpholino pyrimidine derivatives and PI3K inhibitors are known in the art.
5 International Patent Application WO 2004/048365 discloses compounds that possess
PI3K enzyme inhibitory activity and are useful in the treatment of cancer. These compounds are arylamino- and heteroarylamino-substituted pyrimidines which differ from the compounds of the present invention with respect to their arylamino- and heteroarylamino substituents. These substituents are not equivalent to the -XR1 substituents of the present invention. io Inhibitors of PI3K activity useful in the treatment of cancer are also disclosed in European Patent Application 1 277 738 which mentions 4-morpholino-substituted bicyclic heteroaryl compounds such as quinazoline and pyrido[3,2-cf]pyrimidme derivatives and 4-morpholino- substituted tricyclic heteroaryl compounds but not monocyclic pyrimidine derivatives. A number of compounds such as 4-morpholin-4-yl-6-(phenylsulfonylmethyl)-2-
I5 pyridin-4-yl-pyrimidine and 4-{6-[(phenylsulfonyl)methyl]-2-pyridin-2-ylpyrimidin-4- yl}morpholine have been registered in the Chemical Abstracts database but no utility has been indicated and there is no suggestion that these compounds have mTOR and/or PI3K inhibitory activity or useful therapeutic properties.
Surprisingly, we have found that certain morpholino pyrimidine derivatives possess
20 useful therapeutic properties. Without wishing to be bound by theoretical constraints, it is believed that the therapeutic usefulness of the derivatives is derived from their inhibitory activity against mTOR kinase and/or one or more PI3K enzyme (such as the Class Ia enzyme and/or the Class Ib enzyme). Because signalling pathways mediated by the PI3K/mT0R families have a central role in a number of cell processes including proliferation and survival,
2s and because deregulation of these pathways is a causative factor in a wide spectrum of human cancers and other diseases, it is expected that the derivatives will be therapeutically useful. In particular, it is expected that the derivatives will have antiproliferative and/or apoptotic properties which means that they will be useful in the treatement of proliferative disease such as cancer. The compounds of the present invention may also be useful in inhibiting the
30 uncontrolled cellular proliferation which arises from various non-malignant diseases such as inflammatory diseases, obstructive airways diseases, immune diseases or cardiovascular diseases. Generally, the compounds of the present invention possess potent inhibitory activity against mTOR kinase but the compound may also possess potent inhibitory activity against one or more PI3K enzyme (such as the Class Ia enzyme and/or the Class Ib enzyme).

An in vivo hydrolysable ester of a compound of formula (I) containing carboxy or hydroxy group is, for example a pharmaceutically acceptable ester which is cleaved in the human or animal body to produce the parent acid or alcohol. Such esters can be identified by administering, for example, intravenously to a test animal, the compound under test and subsequently examining the test animal's body fluid.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable esters for carboxy include C1-6alkoxymethyl esters for example methoxymethyl, C1-6alkanoyloxymethyl esters for example pivaloyloxymethyl, phthalidyl esters, C3-8cycloalkoxycarbonyloxyC1-6alkyl esters for example 1-cyclohexylcarbonyloxy ethyl, l,3-dioxolen-2-onylmethyl esters for example 5-methyl-l,3-dioxolen-2-onylmethyl, and Ci-ealkoxycarbonyloxyethyl esters for example 1-methoxycarbonyloxy ethyl; and may be formed at any carboxy group in the compounds of this invention.
Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable esters for hydroxy include inorganic esters such as phosphate esters (including phosphoramidic cyclic esters) and α-acyloxyalkyl ethers and related compounds which as a result of the in vivo hydrolysis of the ester breakdown to give the parent hydroxy group/s. Examples of α-acyloxyalkyl ethers include acetoxymethoxy and 2,2-dimethylpropionyloxymethoxy . A selection of in vivo hydrolysable ester forming groups for hydroxy include Cmoalkanoyl, for example formyl, acetyl, benzoyl, phenylacetyl, substituted benzoyl and phenylacetyl; Cπoalkoxycarbonyl (to give alkyl carbonate esters), for example ethoxycarbonyl; di-C1-4alkylcarbamoyl and N-(di-C1-4alkylaminoethyl)-iV- C^alkylcarbamoyl (to give carbamates); di-C1-4alkylaminoacetyl and carboxyacetyl. Examples of ring substituents on phenylacetyl and benzoyl include aminomethyl, C1-
4alkylaminomethyl and di-(C1-4alkyl)aminomethyl, and morpholino or piperazino linked from a ring nitrogen atom via a methylene linking group to the 3- or 4- position of the benzoyl ring. Other interesting in vivo hydrolysable esters include, for example, RAC(O)OC1-6alkyl-CO-5 wherein RA is for example, benzyloxy-C1-4alkyl, or phenyl. Suitable substituents on a phenyl group in such esters include, for example, 4-C1-4piperazino-C1-4alkyl, piperazino-C^alkyl and morpholino-C1-4alkyl. The compounds of the formula (I) may be also be administered in the form of a prodrug which is broken down in the human or animal body to give a compound of the formula (I). Various forms of prodrugs are known in the art. For examples of such prodrug derivatives, see: a) Design of Prodrugs, edited by H. Bundgaard, (Elsevier, 1985) and Methods in
Enzymology, Vol. 42, p. 309-396, edited by K. Widder, et al. (Academic Press, 1985); b) A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, edited by Krogsgaard-Larsen and H.

It will be appreciated that the R group may be introduced at any stage initially as a carbocyclic or heterocyclic amine (optionally with the nitrogen protected, such protecting groups include but are not limited to nitro, tø^-butoxy carbamate etc.) which can be transformed at a subsequent stage in the synthesis (after appropriate deprotection) to a urea by either direct reaction with an isocyanate (or otherwise activated group such as a phenoxy carbamate, etc.) or by activation of the amine (such as with phosgene or the formation of a phenoxy carbamate, etc.) and subsequent reaction with an appropriate amine, or other methods of forming a urea known in the literature. It will be appreciated that certain of the various ring substituents in the compounds of the present invention may be introduced by standard aromatic substitution reactions or generated by conventional functional group modifications either prior to or immediately following the processes mentioned above, and as such are included in the process aspect of the invention. For example compounds of formula (I) my be converted into further compounds of formula (I) by standard aromatic substitution reactions or by conventional functional group modifications. Such reactions and modifications include, for example, introduction of a substituent by means of an aromatic substitution reaction, reduction of substituents, alkylation of substituents and oxidation of substituents. The reagents and reaction conditions for such procedures are well known in the chemical art. Particular examples of aromatic substitution reactions include the introduction of a nitro group using concentrated nitric acid, the introduction of an acyl group using, for example, an acyl halide and Lewis acid (such as aluminium trichloride) under Friedel Crafts conditions; the introduction of an alkyl group using an alkyl halide and Lewis acid (such as aluminium trichloride) under Friedel Crafts conditions; and the introduction of a halogen group. Particular examples of modifications include the reduction of a nitro group to an amino group by for example, catalytic hydrogenation with a nickel catalyst or treatment with iron in the presence of hydrochloric acid with heating; oxidation of alkylthio to alkylsulfinyl or alkylsulfonyl. It will also be appreciated that in some of the reactions mentioned herein it may be necessary/desirable to protect any sensitive groups in the compounds. The instances where protection is necessary or desirable and suitable methods for protection are known to those skilled in the art. Conventional protecting groups may be used in accordance with standard practice (for illustration see T.W. Green, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons, 1991). Thus, if reactants include groups such as amino, carboxy or hydroxy it may be desirable to protect the group in some of the reactions mentioned herein.
A suitable protecting group for an amino or alkylamino group is, for example, an acyl group, for example an alkanoyl group such as acetyl, an alkoxycarbonyl group, for example a methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl or fert-butoxycarbonyl group, an arylmethoxycarbonyl group, for example benzyloxycarbonyl, or an aroyl group, for example benzoyl. The deprotection conditions for the above protecting groups necessarily vary with the choice of protecting group. Thus, for example, an acyl group such as an alkanoyl or alkoxycarbonyl group or an aroyl group may be removed for example, by hydrolysis with a suitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example lithium or sodium hydroxide. Alternatively an acyl group such as a fert-butoxycarbonyl group may be removed, for example, by treatment with a suitable acid as hydrochloric, sulfuric or phosphoric acid or trifluoroacetic acid and an arylmethoxycarbonyl group such as a benzyloxycarbonyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon, or by treatment with a Lewis acid for example boron tris(trifluoroacetate). A suitable alternative protecting group for a primary amino group is, for example, a phthaloyl group which may be removed by treatment with an alkylamine, for example dimethylaminopropylamine, or with hydrazine. A suitable protecting group for a hydroxy group is, for example, an acyl group, for example an alkanoyl group such as acetyl, an aroyl group, for example benzoyl, or an arylmethyl group, for example benzyl. The deprotection conditions for the above protecting groups will necessarily vary with the choice of protecting group. Thus, for example, an acyl group such as an alkanoyl or an aroyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrolysis with a suitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example lithium or sodium hydroxide. Alternatively an arylmethyl group such as a benzyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon.
A suitable protecting group for a carboxy group is, for example, an esterifying group, for example a methyl or an ethyl group which may be removed, for example, by hydrolysis with a base such as sodium hydroxide, or for example a tert-butyl group which may be removed, for example, by treatment with an acid, for example an organic acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, or for example a benzyl group which may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon. The protecting groups may be removed at any convenient stage in the synthesis using conventional techniques well known in the chemical art.
Many of the intermediates defined herein are novel and these are provided as a further feature of the invention.
Biological Assays
The following assays can be used to measure the effects of the compounds of the present invention as mTOR kinase inhibitors, as PD kinase inhibitors, as inhibitors in vitro of the activation of PI3 kinase signalling pathways and as inhibitors in vitro of the proliferation of MDA-MB-468 human breast adenocarcinoma cells. (a) In Vitro mTOR Kinase Assay
The assay used AlphaScreen technology (Gray et al, Analytical Biochemistry, 2003, 313: 234-245) to determine the ability of test compounds to inhibit phosphorylation by recombinant mTOR.
A C-terminal truncation of mTOR encompassing amino acid residues 1362 to 2549 of mTOR (EMBL Accession No. L34075) was stably expressed as a FLAG-tagged fusion in HEK293 cells as described by Vilella-Bach et al., Journal of Biochemistry, 1999, 274, 4266- 4272. The HEK293 FLAG-tagged mTOR (1362-2549) stable cell line was routinely maintained at 370C with 5% CO2 up to a confluency of 70-90% in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's growth medium (DMEM; Invitrogen Limited, Paisley, UK Catalogue No. 41966-029) containing 10% heat-inactivated foetal calf serum (FCS; Sigma, Poole, Dorset, UK, Catalogue No. F0392), 1% L-glutamine (Gibco, Catalogue No. 25030-024) and 2 mg/ml Geneticin (G418 sulfate; Invitrogen Limited, UK Catalogue No. 10131-027). Following expression in the mammalian HEK293 cell line, expressed protein was purified using the FLAG epitope tag using standard purification techniques. Test compounds were prepared as 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO and diluted into water as required to give a range of final assay concentrations. Aliquots (2 μl) of each compound dilution were placed into a well of a Greiner 384-well low volume (LV) white polystyrene plate (Greiner Bio-one). A 30 μl mixture of recombinant purified mTOR enzyme, 1 μM biotinylated peptide substrate (Biotin-Ahx-Lys-Lys-Ala-Asn-Gln-Val-Phe- Leu-Gly-Phe-Thr-Tyr-Val-Ala-Pro-Ser-Val-Leu-Glu-Ser-Val-Lys-Glu-N^^achem UK Ltd), ATP (20 μM) and a buffer solution [comprising Tris-HCl pH7.4 buffer (50 mM), EGTA
5 (0.1 mM), bovine serum albumin (0.5 mg/mL), DTT (1.25 mM) and manganese chloride (10 mM)] was agitated at room temperature for 90 minutes.
Control wells that produced a maximum signal corresponding to maximum enzyme activity were created by using 5% DMSO instead of test compound. Control wells that produced a minimum signal corresponding to fully inhibited enzyme were created by adding io EDTA (83 mM) instead of test compound. These assay solutions were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature.
Each reaction was stopped by the addition of 10 μl of a mixture of EDTA (50 mM), bovine serum albumin (BSA; 0.5 mg/mL) and Tris-HCl pH7.4 buffer (50 mM) containing p70 S6 Kinase (T389) 1 A5 Monoclonal Antibody (Cell Signalling Technology, Catalogue is No. 9206B) and AlphaScreen Streptavidin donor and Protein A acceptor beads (200 ng; Perkin Elmer, Catalogue No. 6760002B and 6760137R respectively) were added and the assay plates were left for about 20 hours at room temperature in the dark. The resultant signals arising from laser light excitation at 680 nm were read using a Packard Envision instrument.
20 Phosphorylated biotinylated peptide is formed in situ as a result of mTOR mediated phosphorylation. The phosphorylated biotinylated peptide that is associated with AlphaScreen Streptavidin donor beads forms a complex with the p70 S6 Kinase (T389) 1 A5 Monoclonal Antibody that is associated with Alphascreen Protein A acceptor beads. Upon laser light excitation at 680 nm, the donor bead : acceptor bead complex produces a signal that
25 can be measured. Accordingly, the presence of mTOR kinase activity results in an assay signal. In the presence of an mTOR kinase inhibitor, signal strength is reduced. mTOR enzyme inhibition for a given test compound was expressed as an IC50 value, (b) In Vitro PI3K Enzyme Assay
The assay used AlphaScreen technology (Gray et al, Analytical Biochemistry, 2003,
30 313: 234-245) to determine the ability of test compounds to inhibit phosphorylation by recombinant Type I PI3K enzymes of the lipid PI(4,5)P2. DNA fragments encoding human PI3K catalytic and regulatory subunits were isolated from cDNA libraries using standard molecular biology and PCR cloning techniques. The selected DNA fragments were used to generate baculovirus expression vectors. In particular, full length DNA of each of the pi 10a, pi lOβ and pi lOδ Type Ia human PI3K pi 10 isoforms s (EMBL Accession Nos. HSU79143, S67334, Y10055 for pi 10a, pi lOβ and pi lOδ respectively) were sub-cloned into a pDESTIO vector (Invitrogen Limited, Fountain Drive, Paisley, UK). The vector is a Gateway-adapted version of Fastbacl containing a 6-His epitope tag. A truncated form of Type Ib human PI3K pi lOγ isoform corresponding to amino acid residues 144-1102 (EMBL Accession No. X8336A) and the full length human p85αo regulatory subunit (EMBL Accession No. HSP13KIN) were also sub-cloned into pFastBacl vector containing a 6-His epitope tag. The Type Ia pi 10 constructs were co-expressed with the p85α regulatory subunit. Following expression in the baculovirus system using standard baculovirus expression techniques, expressed proteins were purified using the His epitope tag using standard purification techniques. 5 DNA corresponding to amino acids 263 to 380 of human general receptor for phosphoinositides (Grpl) PH domain was isolated from a cDNA library using standard molecular biology and PCR cloning techniques. The resultant DNA fragment was sub-cloned into a pGEX 4Tl E. coli expression vector containing a GST epitope tag (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Rainham, Essex, UK) as described by Gray et al, Analytical 0 Biochemistry. 2003, 313: 234-245). The GST-tagged Grpl PH domain was expressed and purified using standard techniques.
Test compounds were prepared as 10 mJVI stock solutions in DMSO and diluted into water as required to give a range of final assay concentrations. Aliquots (2 μl) of each compound dilution were placed into a well of a Greiner 384-well low volume (LV) white5 polystyrene plate (Greiner Bio-one, Brunei Way, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, UK Catalogue No. 784075). A mixture of each selected recombinant purified PI3K enzyme (15 ng), DiC8- PI(4,5)P2 substrate (40 μM; Cell Signals Inc., Kinnear Road, Columbus, USA, Catalogue No. 901), adenosine triphosphate (ATP; 4 μM) and a buffer solution [comprising Tris-HCl pH7.6 buffer (40 niM, 10 μl), 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-l-propanesulfonateo (CHAPS; 0.04%), dithiothreitol (DTT; 2 niM) and magnesium chloride (10 mM)] was agitated at room temperature for 20 minutes. Control wells that produced a minimum signal corresponding to maximum enzyme activity were created by using 5% DMSO instead of test compound. Control wells that produced a maximum signal corresponding to fully inhibited enzyme were created by adding wortmannin (6 μM; Calbiochem / Merck Bioscience, Padge Road, Beeston, Nottingham, UK, Catalogue No. 681675) instead of test compound. These assay solutions were also agitated for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Each reaction was stopped by the addition of 10 μl of a mixture of EDTA (100 niM), bovine serum albumin (BSA, 0.045 %) and Tris-HCl pH7.6 buffer (40 mM).
Biotinylated-DiC8-PI(3,4,5)P3 (50 nM; Cell Signals Inc., Catalogue No. 107), recombinant purified GST-Grpl PH protein (2.5 nM) and AlphaScreen Anti-GST donor and acceptor beads (100 ng; Packard Bioscience Limited, Station Road, Pangbourne, Berkshire, UK, Catalogue No. 6760603M) were added and the assay plates were left for about 5 to 20 hours at room temperature in the dark. The resultant signals arising from laser light excitation at 680 nm were read using a Packard AlphaQuest instrument. PI(3,4,5)P3 is formed in situ as a result of PI3K mediated phosphorylation of
PI(4,5)P2. The GST-Grpl PH domain protein that is associated with AlphaScreen Anti-GST donor beads forms a complex with the biotinylated PI(3,4,5)P3 that is associated with Alphascreen Streptavidn acceptor beads. The enymatically-produced PI(3,4,5)P3 competes with biotinylated PI(3,4,5)P3 for binding to the PH domain protein. Upon laser light excitation at 680 nm, the donor bead : acceptor bead complex produces a signal that can be measured. Accordingly, PI3K enzme activity to form PI(3,4,5)P3 and subsequent competition with biotinylated PI(3,4,5)P3 results in a reduced signal. In the presence of a PI3K enzyme inhibitor, signal strength is recovered.
PI3K enzyme inhibition for a given test compound was expressed as an IC50 value. (c) In Vitro phospho-Ser473 Akt assay
This assay determines the ability of test compounds to inhibit phosphorylation of Serine 473 in Akt as assessed using Acumen Explorer technology (Acumen Bioscience Limited), a plate reader that can be used to rapidly quantitate features of images generated by laser-scanning. A MDA-MB-468 human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (LGC Promochem,
Teddington, Middlesex, UK, Catalogue No. HTB- 132) was routinely maintained at 37°C with 5% CO2 up to a confluency of 70-90% in DMEM containing 10% heat-inactivated FCS and 1% L-glutaniine.
For the assay, the cells were detached from the culture flask using 'Accutase' (Innovative Cell Technologies Inc., San Diego, CA, USA; Catalogue No. ATI 04) using standard tissue culture methods and resuspended in media to give 1.7x105 cells per mL. Aliquots (90 μl) were seeded into each of the inner 60 wells of a black Packard 96 well plate (PerldnElmer, Boston, MA, USA; Catalogue No. 6005182) to give a density of -15000 cells per well. Aliquots (90 μl) of culture media were placed in the outer wells to prevent edge effects. The cells were incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2 to allow them to adhere. On day 2, the cells were treated with test compounds and incubated for 2 hours at
37°C with 5% CO2. Test compounds were prepared as 10 niM stock solutions in DMSO and serially diluted as required with growth media to give a range of concentrations that were 10- fold the required final test concentrations. Aliquots (10 μl) of each compound dilution were placed in a well (in triplicate) to give the final required concentrations. As a minimum reponse control, each plate contained wells having a final concentration of 100 μM LY294002 (Calbiochem, Beeston, UK, Catalogue No. 440202). As a maximum response control, wells contained 1% DMSO instead of test compound. Following incubation, the contents of the plates were fixed by treatment with a 1.6% aqueous formaldehyde solution (Sigma, Poole, Dorset, UK, Catalogue No. F 1635) at room temperature for 1 hour. All subsequent aspiration and wash steps were carried out using a Tecan 96 well plate washer (aspiration speed 10 mm/sec). The fixing solution was removed and the contents of the plates were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; 50 μl; Gibco, Catalogue No. 10010015). The contents of the plates were treated for 10 minutes at room temperature with an aliquot (50 μl) of a cell permeabilisation buffer consisting of a mixture of PBS and 0.5% Tween-20. The 'permeabilisation' buffer was removed and non-specific binding sites were blocked by treatment for 1 hour at room temperature of an aliquot (50 μl) of a blocking buffer consisting of 5% dried skimmed milk ['Marvel' (registered trade mark); Premier Beverages, Stafford, GB] in a mixture of PBS and 0.05% Tween-20. The 'blocking' buffer was removed and the cells were incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with rabbit anti phospho-Akt (Ser473) antibody solution (50 μl per well; Cell Signalling, Hitchin, Herts, U.K., Catalogue No 9277) that had been diluted 1 :500 in 'blocking' buffer. Cells were washed three times in a mixture of PBS and 0.05% Tween-20. Subsequently, cells were incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with Alexafluor488 labelled goat anti-rabbit IgG (50 μl per well; Molecular Probes, Invitrogen Limited, Paisley, UK, Catalogue No. Al 1008) that had been diluted 1 :500 in 'blocking' buffer. Cells were washed 3 times with a mixture of PBS and 0.05% Tween-20.
5 An aliquot of PBS (50 μl) was added to each well and the plates were sealed with black plate sealers and the fluorescence signal was detected and analysed.
Fluorescence dose response data obtained with each compound were analysed and the degree of inhibition of Serine 473 in Akt was expressed as an IC50 value, (d) In Vitro MDA-MB-468 human breast adenocarcinoma Proliferation Assay io This assay determines the ability of test compounds to inhibit cell proliferation as assessed using Cellomics Arrayscan technology. A MDA-MB-468 human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (LGC Promochem, Catalogue No. HTB- 132) was routinely maintained as described in Biological Assay (b) herein.
For the proliferation assay, the cells were detached from the culture flask using
15 Accutase and seeded into the inner 60 wells of a black Packard 96 well plate at a density of 8000 cells per well in 100 μl of complete growth media. The outer wells contained 100 μl of sterile PBS. The cells were incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO2 to allow them to adhere.
On day 2, the cells were treated with test compounds and incubated for 48 hours at
20 37°C with 5% CO2. Test compounds were prepared as 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO and serially diluted as required with growth media to give a range of test concentrations. Aliquots (50 μl) of each compound dilution were placed in a well and the cells were incubated for 2 days at 37°C with 5% CO2. Each plate contained control wells without test compound.
On day 4, BrdU labelling reagent (Sigma, Catalogue No. B9285) at a final dilution of
25 1 :1000 was added and the cells were incubated for 2 hours at 37°C. The medium was removed and the cells in each well were fixed by treatment with 100 μl of a mixture of ethanol and glacial acetic acid (90% ethanol, 5% glacial acetic acid and 5% water) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The cells in each well were washed twice with PBS (100 μl). Aqueous hydrochloric acid (2M, 100 μl) was added to each well. After 20 minutes at room
30 temperature, the cells were washed twice with PBS. Hydrogen peroxide (3%, 50 μl; Sigma, Catalogue No. H1009) was added to each well. After 10 minutes at room temperature, the wells were washed again with PBS.
BrdU incorporation was detected by incubation for 1 hour at room temperature with mouse anti-BrdU antibody (50 μl; Caltag, Burlingame, CA, US; Catalogue No. MD5200) that was diluted 1 :40 in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.05% Tween-20. Unbound antibody was removed with two washes of PBS. For visualisation of incorporated BrdU, the cells were treated for 1 hour at room temperature with PBS (50 μl) and 0.05% Tween-20 buffer containing a 1:1000 dilution of Alexa fluor 488-labelled goat anti-mouse IgG. For visualisation of the cell nucleus, a 1:1000 dilution of Hoechst stain (Molecular Probes, Catalogue No. H3570) was added. Each plate was washed in turn with PBS. Subsequently, PBS (100 μl) was added to each well and the plates were analysed using a Cellomics array scan to assess total cell number and number of BrdU positive cells.
Fluorescence dose response data obtained with each compound were analysed and the degree of inhibition of MDA-MB-468 cell growth was expressed as an IC50 value, Although the pharmacological properties of the compounds of formula (I) vary with structural change as expected, in general, it is believed that activity possessed by compounds of formula (I) may be demonstrated at the following concentrations or doses in one or more of the above tests (a) to (d) :-
Test (a):- IC5O versus mTOR kinase at less than 10 μM, in particular 0.001 - 0.5 μM for many compounds; for example 34b the IC50 was measured on two occasions, the values were 0.155 and 0.093 μM. Test (b):- IC50 versus pi lOγ Type Ib human PI3K at less than 10 μM, in particular 0.001 - 0.5 μM for many compounds; and IC5O versus pi 10a Type Ia human PI3K at less than 10 μM, in particular 0.001 - 0.5 μM for many compounds; for example 34b the IC50 was measured on two occasions, the values were 91.2 and 57.8 μM.
Test (c):- IC50 versus Serine 473 in Akt at less than 10 μM, in particular 0.1 - 20 μM for many compounds); for example 34b the IC50 was measured on two occasions, the values were 1.361 and 0.654μM.
Test (d):- IC50 at less than 20 μM; The compounds of the present invention are advantageous in that they possess pharmacological activity. In particular, the compounds of the present invention modulate (in particular, inhibit) mTOR kinase and/or phosphatidylinositol-3 -kinase (PI3K) enzymes, such as the Class Ia PDK enzymes (e.g. PBKalpha, PDKbeta and PBKdelta) and the Class Ib PBK enzyme (PBKgamma). More particularly compounds of the present invention modulate (in particular, inhibit) mTOR kinase. More particularly compounds of the present invention modulate (in particular, inhibit) one or more PBK enzyme. The inhibitory properties of compounds of formula (I) may be demonstrated using the test procedures set out herein and in the experimental section. Accordingly, the compounds of formula (I) may be used in the treatment (therapeutic or prophylactic) of conditions/diseases in human and non-human animals which are mediated by mTOR kinase and/or one or more PBK enzyme(s), and in particular by mTOR kinase.
The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as defined herein in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
The compositions of the invention may be in a form suitable for oral use (for example as tablets, lozenges, hard or soft capsules, aqueous or oily suspensions, emulsions, dispersible powders or granules, syrups or elixirs), for topical use (for example as creams, ointments, gels, or aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions), for administration by inhalation (for example as a finely divided powder or a liquid aerosol), for administration by insufflation (for example as a finely divided powder) or for parenteral administration (for example as a sterile aqueous or oily solution for intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal or intramuscular dosing or as a suppository for rectal dosing).
The compositions of the invention may be obtained by conventional procedures using conventional pharmaceutical excipients, well known in the art. Thus, compositions intended for oral use may contain, for example, one or more colouring, sweetening, flavouring and/or preservative agents.
The amount of active ingredient that is combined with one or more excipients to produce a single dosage form will necessarily vary depending upon the host treated and the particular route of administration. For example, a formulation intended for oral administration to humans will generally contain, for example, from 1 mg to 1 g of active agent (more suitably from 1 to 250 mg, for example from 1 to 100 mg) compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount of excipients which may vary from about 5 to about 98 percent by weight of the total composition.
The size of the dose for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes of a compound of formula I will naturally vary according to the nature and severity of the disease state, the age and sex of the animal or patient and the route of administration, according to well known principles of medicine.
In using a compound of formula (I) for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes it will generally be administered so that a daily dose in the range, for example, 1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg body weight is received, given if required in divided doses. In general, lower doses will be administered when a parenteral route is employed. Thus, for example, for intravenous administration, a dose in the range, for example, 1 mg/kg to 25 mg/kg body weight will generally be used. Similarly, for administration by inhalation, a dose in the range, for example, 1 mg/kg to 25 mg/kg body weight will be used. Typically, unit dosage forms will contain about 10 mg to 0.5 g of a compound of this invention. As stated herein, it is known that mTOR kinase and the PI3K enzymes have roles in tumourigenesis as well as numerous other diseases. We have found that the compounds of formula (I) possess potent anti-tumour activity which it is believed is obtained by way of inhibition of mTOR kinase and/or one or more of the PBK enzymes.
Accordingly, the compounds of the present invention are of value as anti-tumour agents. Particularly, the compounds of the present invention are of value as antiproliferative, apoptotic and/or anti-invasive agents in the containment and/or treatment of solid and/or liquid tumour disease. Particularly, the compounds of the present invention are expected to be useful in the prevention or treatment of those tumours which are sensitive to inhibition of mTOR and/or one or more of the PBK enzymes such as the Class Ia PBK enzymes and the Class Ib PBK enzyme. Further, the compounds of the present invention are expected to be useful in the prevention or treatment of those tumours which are mediated alone or in part by mTOR and/or one or more of the PBK enzymes such as the Class Ia PBK enzymes and the Class Ib PBK enzyme. The compounds may thus be used to produce an mTOR enzyme inhibitory effect in a warm-blooded animal in need of such treatment. Certain compounds may be used to produce an PBK enzyme inhibitory effect in a warm-blooded animal in need of such treatment. As stated herein, inhibitors of mTOR kinase and/or one or more PBK enzymes should be of therapeutic value for the treatment of proliferative disease such as cancer and in particular solid tumours such as carcinoma and sarcomas and the leukaemias and lymphoid malignancies and in particular for treatment of, for example, cancer of the breast, colorectum, lung (including small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and bronchioalveolar cancer) and prostate, and of cancer of the bile duct, bone, bladder, head and neck, kidney, liver, gastrointestinal tissue, oesophagus, ovary, pancreas, skin, testes, thyroid, uterus, cervix and vulva, and of leukaemias [including acute lymphoctic leukaemia (ALL) and chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML)], multiple myeloma and lymphomas.
