Description

BRIDGED BICYCLIC ARYL AND BRIDGED BICYCLIC HETEROARYL SUBSTITUTED TRIAZOLES USEFUL AS AXL INHIBITORS
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit under 35 U S C § 119(e) of U S Provisional Patent Application No 60/981 ,053, filed October 18, 2007, and U S Provisional Patent Application No 60/882,783, filed December 29, 2006, where these two provisional applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to bridged bicyclic aryl substituted tπazoles and bridged bicyclic heteroaryl substituted triazoles and pharmaceutical compositions thereof which are useful as inhibitors of the receptor protein tyrosine kinase known as AxI This invention is also directed to methods of using the compounds and compositions in treating diseases and conditions associated with AxI activity, particularly in treating diseases and conditions associated with angiogenesis and/or cell proliferation BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
All of the protein kinases that have been identified to date in the human genome share a highly conserved catalytic domain of around 300 aa This domain folds into a bι- lobed structure in which reside ATP-binding and catalytic sites The complexity of protein kinase regulation allows many potential mechanisms of inhibition including competition with activating ligands, modulation of positive and negative regulators, interference with protein dimeπzation, and allosteπc or competitive inhibition at the substrate or ATP binding sites
AxI (also known as UFO, ARK, and Tyro7, nucleotide accession numbers NM_021913 and NM_001699, protein accession numbers NP_068713 and NP_001690) is a receptor protein tyrosine kinase (RTK) that comprises a C-terminal extracellular ligand-binding domain and N-terminal cytoplasmic region containing the catalytic domain The extracellular domain of AxI has a unique structure that juxtaposes immunoglobulin and fibronectin Type III repeats and is reminiscent of the structure of neural cell adhesion molecules AxI and its two close relatives, Mer /Nyk and Sky (Tyro3 / Rse / Dtk), collectively known as the Tyro3 family of RTKs, all bind and are stimulated to varying degrees by the same hgand, Gas6 (growth arrest specιfιc-6), a -76kDa secreted protein with significant homology to the coagulation cascade regulator, Protein S In addition to binding to hgands, the AxI extracellular domain has been shown to undergo homophilic interactions that mediate cell aggregation, suggesting that one important function of AxI may be to mediate cell-cell adhesion AxI is predominantly expressed in the vasculature in both endothelial cells (EC's) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and in cells of the myeloid lineage and is also detected in breast epithelial cells, chondrocytes, Sertoli cells and neurons Several functions including protection from apoptosis induced by serum starvation, TNF-α or the viral protein E1A, as well as migration and cell differentiation have been ascribed to AxI signaling in cell culture However, AxI-/- mice exhibit no overt developmental phenotype and the physiological function of AxI in vivo is not clearly established in the literature
Angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) is limited to functions such as wound healing and the female reproductive cycle in healthy adults This physiological process has been co-opted by tumors, thus securing an adequate blood supply that feeds tumor growth and facilitates metastasis Deregulated angiogenesis also a feature of many other diseases (for example, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, endometriosis and blindness due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinopathy of prematurity and diabetes) and often contributes to the progression or pathology of the condition The overexpression of AxI and/or its hgand has also been reported in a wide variety of solid tumor types including, but not limited to, breast, renal, endometrial, ovarian, thyroid, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and uveal melanoma as well as in myeloid leukemias Furthermore, it possesses transforming activity in NIH3T3 and 32D cells It has been demonstrated that loss of AxI expression in tumor cells blocks the growth of solid human neoplasms in an in vivo MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma xenograft model Taken together, these data suggest AxI signaling can independently regulate EC angiogenesis and tumor growth and thus represents a novel target class for tumor therapeutic development
The expression of AxI and Gasδ proteins is upregulated in a variety of other disease states including endometriosis, vascular injury and kidney disease and AxI signaling is functionally implicated in the latter two indications AxI - Gasδ signaling amplifies platelet responses and is implicated in thrombus formation AxI may thus potentially represent a therapeutic target for a number of diverse pathological conditions including solid tumors, including, but not limited to, breast, renal, endometrial, ovarian, thyroid, non-small cell lung carcinoma and uveal melanoma, liquid tumors, including but not limited to, leukemias (particularly myeloid leukemias) and lymphomas, endometriosis, vascular disease / injury (including but not limited to restenosis, atherosclerosis and thrombosis), psoriasis, visual impairment due to macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity, kidney disease (including but not limited to glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy and renal transplant rejection), rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and cataracts

A "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a formulation of a compound of the invention and a medium generally accepted in the art for the delivery of the biologically active compound to mammals, for example, humans Such a medium includes all pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients therefor
"Therapeutically effective amount" refers to that amount of a compound of the invention which, when administered to a mammal, preferably a human, is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined below, of a disease or condition of interest in the mammal, preferably a human The amount of a compound of the invention which constitutes a "therapeutically effective amount" will vary depending on the compound, the disease or condition and its severity, and the age of the mammal to be treated, but can be determined routinely by one of ordinary skill in the art having regard to his own knowledge and to this disclosure
"Treating" or "treatment" as used herein covers the treatment of the disease or condition of interest in a mammal, preferably a human, having the disease or condition of interest, and includes
(ι) preventing the disease or condition from occurring in a mammal, in particular, when such mammal is predisposed to the condition but has not yet been diagnosed as having it, (n) inhibiting the disease or condition, i e , arresting its development,
(in) relieving the disease or condition, i e , causing regression of the disease or condition, or
(ιv) stabilizing the disease or condition
As used herein, the terms "disease" and "condition" may be used interchangeably or may be different in that the particular malady or condition may not have a known causative agent (so that etiology has not yet been worked out) and it is therefore not yet recognized as a disease but only as an undesirable condition or syndrome, wherein a more or less specific set of symptoms have been identified by clinicians.
The compounds of the invention, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts may contain one or more asymmetric centres and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)- or, as (D)- or (L)- for amino acids. The present invention is meant to include all such possible isomers, as well as their racetnic and optically pure forms. Optically active (+) and (-), (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)- isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques, such as HPLC using a chiral column. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centres of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. A "stereoisomer" refers to a compound made up of the same atoms bonded by the same bonds but having different three-dimensional structures, which are not interchangeable. The present invention contemplates various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof and includes "enantiomers", which refers to two stereoisomers whose molecules are nonsuperimposeable mirror images of one another. A "tautomer" refers to a proton shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule. The present invention includes tautomers of any said compounds.
"Atropisomers" are stereoisomers resulting from hindered rotation about single bonds where the barrier to rotation is high enough to allow for the isolation of the conformers (Eliel, E. L.; Wilen, S. H. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds; Wiley & Sons: New York, 1994; Chapter 14). Atropisomerism is significant because it introduces an element of chirality in the absence of stereogenic atoms. The invention is meant to encompass atropisomers, for example in cases of limited rotation around the single bonds emanating from the core triazole structure, atropisomers are also possible and are also specifically included in the compounds of the invention. The chemical naming protocol and structure diagrams used herein are a modified form of the I.U.P.A.C. nomenclature system wherein the compounds of the invention are named herein as derivatives of the central core structure, i.e., the triazole structure. For complex chemical names employed herein, a substituent group is named before the group to which it attaches. For example, cyclopropylethyl comprises an ethyl backbone with cyclopropyl substituent. In chemical structure diagrams, all bonds are identified, except for some carbon atoms, which are assumed to be bonded to sufficient hydrogen atoms to complete the valency

METHODS
Dav 1
A 96 well TC (tissue culture treated) plate was coated with 10μg/mL poly-L- Lysine at 370C for 30 mm washed twice with PBS, and air-dried for 5 minutes before 30 cells were added HeIa cells were seeded at 10,000 cells/well and the cells were starved in 100 μl_ starvation medium containing Axl/Fc for 24 hrs Day 2
The cells were pre-treated with test compounds by adding 100 μl_ of 2X test compound to the starvation medium on the cells The cells were incubated at 37°C for 1 hr before stimulation
The cells were stimulated by Axl-antibody cross-linking as follows A 5X ist/2nd
AxI antibody mixture was made (37 5μg/mL 1st/ 100μg/mL 2nd) in starvation medium and nutated at 40C with thorough mixing for 1-2 hours for clustering The resulting mix was warmed to 37°C 50μL of 5X Ax1 1 st /2nd of antibody cluster was added to the cells and the cells were incubated at 37°C for 5 mm
After 5 minutes stimulation, the plate was flicked to remove medium and the plate was tapped onto paper towels Formaldehyde (40% in PBS, 100 μL) was added to fix the cells and the cells were incubated at ambient temperature for 20 mm without shaking
The cells were washed with a plate washer buffer to remove the formaldehyde solution The plate was flicked to removed excess wash buffer and tapped onto paper towels Quenching buffer (100 μL) was added to each well and the cells were incubated at ambient temperature for 20 minutes without shaking The cells were washed with a plate washer buffer to remove the quenching buffer Blocking buffer (100 μL) was added and the cells were incubated at ambient temperature for at least an hour with gentle shaking
The cells were washed with a plate washer buffer and diluted primary antibody
(50 μL) was added to each well (blocking buffer was added to the negative control wells instead) The plates were incubated overnight at 4° C with gentle shaking
Day 3
The wash buffer was removed, diluted secondary antibody (100 μL) was added, and the cells were incubated at ambient temperature for 1 hour with gentle shaking
During the incubation, the chemiluminescent reagent was brought to ambient temperature
The secondary antibody was removed by washing the cells 1X with wash buffer,
1 X with PBS by plate washer The PBS was removed from the plate and the chemiluminescent reagent (80 μL 40 μL A and 40 μL B) was added to each well at ambient temperature The resulting chemiluminescence was read with a Luminomitor within 10 minutes to minimize changes in signal intensity After reading the chemiluminescence, the cells were washed 1 X with wash buffer and 1 X with PBS by plate washer The plate was tapped onto paper towels to remove excess liquid from wells and air-dried at ambient temperature for 5 minutes Crystal Violet working solution (60 μL) was added to each well and the cells were incubated at ambient temperature for 30 mm The crystal violet solution was removed, and the wells were rinsed with PBS, then washed 3X with PBS (200 μL) for 5 minutes each
5% SDS solution (70 μL) was added to each well and the cells were incubated on a shaker for 30 mm at ambient temperature
The absorbance was read at 590 nM on a Wallac photospec The 59OnM readings indicated the relative cell number in each well This relative cell number was then used to normalize each luminescence reading
