Definitions
- This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry.
- the invention relates to /V-aryl-isoxazolopyrimidin-4-amines and related compounds, and the discovery that these compounds are activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis.
- the invention also relates to the use of these compounds as therapeutically effective anti-cancer agents.
- Organisms eliminate unwanted cells by a process variously known as regulated cell death, programmed cell death or apoptosis. Such cell death occurs as a normal aspect of animal development, as well as in tissue homeostasis and aging (Glucksmann, A., Biol. Rev. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 26:59-86 (1951); Glucksmann, A., Archives de Biologie 7(5:419-437 (1965); Ellis, el al, Dev. 772:591-603 (1991); Vaux, el ai, Cell 76:111-119 (1994)).
- Apoptosis regulates cell number, facilitates morphogenesis, removes harmful or otherwise abnormal cells and eliminates cells that have already performed their function. Additionally, apoptosis occurs in response to various physiological stresses, such as hypoxia or ischemia (PCT published application WO96/20721).
- a cell activates its internally encoded suicide program as a result of either internal or external signals.
- the suicide program is executed through the activation of a carefully regulated genetic program (Wyllie, et ai, Int. Rev. Cyt. (55/251 (1980); Ellis, et al, Ann. Rev. Cell Bio. 7:663 (1991)).
- Apoptotic cells and bodies are usually recognized and cleared by neighboring cells or macrophages before lysis. Because of this clearance mechanism, inflammation is not induced despite the clearance of great numbers of cells (Orrenius, S., J. Internal Medicine 237:529-536 (1995)).
- caspase family of cysteine proteases comprises 14 different members, and more may be discovered in the future. All known caspases are synthesized as zymogens that require cleavage at an aspartyl residue prior to forming the active enzyme. Thus, caspases are capable of activating other caspases, in the manner of an amplifying cascade.
- Apoptosis and caspases are thought to be crucial in the development of cancer ⁇ Apoptosis and Cancer Chemotherapy, Hickman and Dive, eds., Humana Press (1999)).
- cancer cells while containing caspases, lack parts of the molecular machinery that activates the caspase cascade. This makes the cancer cells lose their capacity to undergo cellular suicide and the cells become cancerous.
- control points are known to exist that represent points for intervention leading to activation.
- CED-9-BCL-like and CED-3-ICE-like gene family products are intrinsic proteins regulating the decision of a cell to survive or die and executing part of the cell death process itself, respectively (see, Schmitt, et al, Biochem. Cell. Biol. 75:301- 314 (1997)).
- BCL-like proteins include BCL-xL and BAX-alpha, which appear to function upstream of caspase activation.
- BCL-xL appears to prevent activation of the apoptotic protease cascade, whereas BAX-alpha accelerates activation of the apoptotic protease cascade.
- chemotherapeutic drugs can trigger cancer cells to undergo suicide by activating the dormant caspase cascade. This may be a crucial aspect of the mode of action of most, if not all, known anticancer drugs (Los, et ai, Blood 90:3118-3129 (1997); Friesen, et ai., Nat. Med. 2:51 '4 (1996)).
- the mechanism of action of current antineoplastic drugs frequently involves an attack at specific phases of the cell cycle.
- the cell cycle refers to the stages through which cells normally progress during their lifetime. Normally, cells exist in a resting phase te ⁇ ned G 0 .
- S DNA synthesis occurs
- M cell division, or mitosis occurs, in a phase called M.
- Antineoplastic drugs such as cytosine arabinoside, hydroxyurea, 6-mercaptopurine, and methotrexate are S phase specific, whereas antineoplastic drugs, such as vincristine, vinblastine, and paclitaxel are M phase specific.
- Many slow growing tumors, e.g. colon cancers exist primarily in the G 0 phase, whereas rapidly proliferating normal tissues, for example bone marrow, exist primarily in the S or M phase.
- a drug like 6-mercaptopurine can cause bone marrow toxicity while remaining ineffective for a slow growing tumor.
- Further aspects of the chemotherapy of neoplastic diseases are known to those skilled in the art (see, e.g., Hardman, et al., eds., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Ninth Edition, McGraw-Hill, New York (1996), pp. 1225-1287).
- the possibility exists for the activation of the caspase cascade although the exact mechanisms for doing so are not clear at this point. It is equally - A -
- caspase cascade activators and inducers of apoptosis are implicated in various types of cancer.
- the development of caspase cascade activators and inducers of apoptosis is a highly desirable goal in the development of therapeutically effective antineoplastic agents.
- therapeutic treatment for these diseases could also involve the enhancement of the apoptotic process through the administration of appropriate caspase cascade activators and inducers of apoptosis.

- a wide range of immune mechanisms operates rapidly following exposure to an infectious agent. Depending on the type of infection, rapid clonal expansion of the T and B lymphocytes occurs to combat the infection.
- the elimination of the effector cells following an infection is one of the major mechanisms for maintaining immune homeostasis.
- the elimination of the effector cells is regulated by apoptosis.
- Autoimmune diseases have lately been determined to occur as a consequence of deregulated cell death.
- the immune system directs its powerful cytotoxic effector mechanisms against specialized cells, such as oligodendrocytes in multiple sclerosis, the beta cells of the pancreas in diabetes mellitus, and thyrocytes in Hashimoto's thyroiditis (Ohsako, S.
- lymphocyte apoptosis receptor Fas/APO-l/CD95 Mutations of the gene encoding the lymphocyte apoptosis receptor Fas/APO-l/CD95 are reported to be associated with defective lymphocyte apoptosis and autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS), which is characterized by chronic, histologically benign splenomegaly, generalized lymphadenopathy, hypergammaglobulinemia, and autoantibody formation.
- APS autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome
- Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) interaction is known to be required for the maintenance of immune homeostasis.
- Experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) characterized by autoreactive T and B cell responses and a marked lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid, is a good model to study the therapeutic effects of FasL. Batteux, F., et al, (J. Immunol 7(52:603-608 (1999)) reported that by direct injection of DNA expression vectors encoding FasL into the inflamed thyroid, the development of lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid was inhibited and induction of infiltrating T cells death was observed. These results show that FasL expression on thyrocytes may have a curative effect on ongoing EAT by inducing death of pathogenic autoreactive infiltrating T lymphocytes.

- Caspase cascade activators and inducers of apoptosis may also be a desirable therapy in the elimination of pathogens, such as HIV, Hepatitis C and other viral pathogens.
- pathogens such as HIV, Hepatitis C and other viral pathogens.
- the long lasting quiecence, followed by disease progression, may be explained by an anti-apoptotic mechanism of these pathogens leading to persistent cellular reservoirs of the virions. It has been reported that HIV- 1 infected T leukemia cells or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) underwent enhanced viral replication in the presence of the caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fmk.
- PBMCs peripheral blood mononuclear cells
- Z-VAD-fmk also stimulated endogenous virus production in activated PBMCs derived from HIV-I- infected asymptomatic individuals (Chinnaiyan, A., et al., Nat. Med. 3:333 (1997)). Therefore, apoptosis serves as a beneficial host mechanism to limit the spread of HIV and new therapeutics using caspase/apoptosis activators are useful to clear viral reservoirs from the infected individuals.
- HCV infection also triggers anti-apoptotic mechanisms to evade the host's immune surveillance leading to viral persistence and hepatocarcinogenesis (Tai, D. I., et al. Hepatology 3:656-64 (2000)). Therefore, apoptosis inducers are useful as therapeutics for HIV and other infectious disease.
- Stent implantation has become the new standard angioplasty procedure.
- in-stent restenosis remains the major limitation of coronary stenting.

- Numerous pharmacological agents with antiproliferative properties are currently under clinical investigation, including actinomycin D, rapamycin or paclitaxel coated stents (Regar E., et al., Br. Med. Bull. 59:227- 248 (2001)). Therefore, apoptosis inducers, which are antiproliferative, are useful as therapeutics for the prevention or reduction of in-stent restenosis.
