Definitions
- the invention relates to bicyclic heterocycles of formulae I and II with anticancer activity and more specifically with MEK kinase inhibitory activity.
- the invention provides compositions and methods useful for inhibiting abnormal cell growth, treating hyperproliferative disorders, or treating inflammatory diseases in a mammal.
- the invention also relates to methods of using the compounds for in vitro, in situ, and in vivo diagnosis or treatment of mammalian cells, or associated pathological conditions.
- MAP (mitogen-activated protein) kinase (MAPK) pathway has emerged as the crucial route between membrane-bound Ras and the nucleus.
- the MAPK pathway encompasses a cascade of phosphorylation events involving three key kinases, namely Raf, MEK (MAP kinase kinase) and ERK (MAP kinase).
- Active GTP-bound Ras results in the activation and indirect phosphorylation of Raf kinase.
- Raf then phosphorylates MEKl and 2 on two serine residues (S218 and S222 for MEKl and S222 and S226 for MEK2) (Ahn et al., Methods in Enzymology 2001, 332, 417-431).
- ERK phosphorylation by MEK occurs on Y204 and T202 for ERKl and Y185 and T183 for ERK2 (Ahn et al., Methods in Enzymology 2001, 332, 417-431). Phosphorylated ERK dimerizes and then translocates to the nucleus where it accumulates (Khokhlatchev et al., Cell 1998, 93, 605-615).
- ERK is involved in several important cellular functions, including but not limited to nuclear transport, signal transduction, DNA repair, nucleosome assembly and translocation, and mRNA processing and translation (Ahn et al., Molecular Cell 2000, 6, 1343-1354). Overall, treatment of cells with growth factors leads to the activation of ERKl and 2 which results in proliferation and, in some cases, differentiation (Lewis et al., Adv. Cancer Res. 1998, 74, 49-139). [0004] There has been strong evidence that genetic mutations and/or overexpression of protein kinases involved in the MAP kinase pathway lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and, eventually, tumor formation, in proliferative diseases.
- some cancers contain mutations which result in the continuous activation of this pathway due to continuous production of growth factors. Other mutations can lead to defects in the deactivation of the activated GTP-bound Ras complex, again resulting in activation of the MAP kinase pathway. Mutated, oncogenic forms of Ras are found in 50% of colon and >90% pancreatic cancers as well as many others types of cancers (Kohl et al., Science 1993, 260, 1834-1837). Recently, bRaf mutations have been identified in more than 60% of malignant melanoma (Davies, H. et al., Nature 2002, 417, 949-954).
- MEK inhibitors have been shown to inhibit human tumor growth in nude mouse xenografts, (Sebolt-Leopold et al., Nature-Medicine 1999, 5 (7), 810-816); Trachet et al., AACR Apr. 6-10, 2002, Poster #5426; Tecle, H. IBC 2.sup.nd International Conference of Protein Kinases, Sep. 9-10, 2002), block static allodynia in animals (WO 01/05390 published Jan. 25, 2001) and inhibit growth of acute myeloid leukemia cells (Milella et al., J Clin Invest 2001, 108 (6), 851-859).
- MEK inhibitors have also been discussed in, for example, WO02/06213, WO 03/077855 and WO03/077914. There still exists a need for new MEK inhibitors as effective and safe therapeutics for treating a variety of proliferative disease states, such as conditions related to the hyperactivity of MEK, as well as diseases modulated by the MEK cascade.
- the invention relates generally to bicyclic heterocycles of formulae I and II
- Certain hyperproliferative and inflammatory disorders are characterized by the modulation of MEK kinase function, for example by mutations or overexpression of the proteins. Accordingly, the compounds of the invention and compositions thereof are useful in the treatment of hyperproliferative disorders such as cancer and/or inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

- Constitutively activated human mutant MEKl expressed in insect cells is used as source of enzymatic activity at a final concentration in the kinase assay of 15nM.
- the assay is carried out for 30 minutes in the presence of 50 ⁇ M ATP using recombinant GST-ERKl produced in E. CoIi as substrate. Phosphorylation of the substrate is detected and quantified using HTRF reagents supplied by Cisbio. These consist of an anti- GST antibody conjugated to allophycocyanin (XL665) and an anti-phospho (Thr202/Tyr204) ERK antibody conjugated to europium-cryptate. These are used at a final concentration of 4 ⁇ g/ml and 0.84 ⁇ g/ml respectively.
- the anti-phospho antibody recognises ERKl dually phosphorylated on Thr202 and Tyr204.
- energy transfer from the cryptate to the allophycocyanin occurs following excitation at 340nm, resulting in fluorescence being emitted that is proportional to the amount of phosphorylated substrate produced. Fluorescence is detected using a multiwell fluorimeter.
- Compounds are diluted in DMSO prior to addition to assay buffer and the final DMSO concentration in the assay is 1%.
- the IC50 is defined as the concentration at which a given compound achieves

- Both cell lines are maintained in DMEM/F12 (1: 1) media (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FCS at 37 0 C in a 5% CO 2 humidified incubator.
- Cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 2,000 cells/well and after 24 hours they are exposed to different concentrations of compounds in 0.83% DMSO. Cells are grown for a further 72h, and an equal volume of CellTiter-Glo reagent (Promega) is added to each well. This lyses the cells and generates a luminescent signal proportional to the amount of ATP released (and therefore proportional to the number of cells in the well) that can be detected using a multi-well luminometer.

- Cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 2,000 cells/well and after 24h they are exposed to different concentrations of compounds in 0.83% DMSO. Cells are grown for a further 2h or 24h, fixed with formaldehyde (2% final) and permeabilised with methanol. Following blocking with TBST-3% BSA, fixed cells are incubated with primary antibody (anti-phospho ERK from rabbit) over-night at 4 0 C.
- primary antibody anti-phospho ERK from rabbit
- Cells are incubated with Propidium Iodide (DNA fluorescent dye) and detection of cellular p-ERK is performed using an anti- rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to the fluorescent Alexa Fluor 488 dye (Molecular probes).
- the fluorescence is analysed using the Acumen Explorer (TTP Labtech), a laser- scanning microplate cytometer, and the Alexa Fluor 488 signal is normalised to the PI signal (proportional to cell number).
- the EC50 is defined as the concentration at which a given compound achieves a signal half way between the baseline and the maximum response. EC50 values are calculated using the XLfit software package (version 2.0.5).
- Step 1 (S)-2-(tert-Butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-propionic acid ethyl ester
- Step 1 2-((5 f )-2-hydroxy-propoxy)-isoindole-1.3-dione
- the ether solution was concentrated in vacuo to yield a pale yellow solid.
- the solid was dissolved in ethyl acetate (150 mL) at 75°C and cyclohexane (300 mL) added. The solution was allowed to cool down to room temperature with stirring, causing a white solid to crystallise from the solution. The crystals were collected by filtration, washing with ethyl acetate/hexane (1:2). The solid was recrystallised using the conditions described previously to yield the product as a white crystalline solid (233 g, 69%).
