Definitions

  • RON recepteur d'origine nantais
  • MSP natural ligand protein
  • MAPK kinase
  • RON can be deregulated in cancer by mechanisms such as over- expression of the receptor and/or the presence of constitutively active splice variants. Inhibition of RON has been shown to lead to a decrease in proliferation, induction of apoptosis and affects cell metastasis. RON overexpression is observed in a variety of human cancers and exhibits increased expression with progression of the disease.
  • MET also known as c-Met
  • c-Met is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is a heterodimeric protein comprising of a 50 kDa ⁇ -subunit and a 145kDa ⁇ -subunit (Maggiora et al., J. Cell Physiol., 173:183-186, 1997). It is activated by binding to its natural ligand HGF (hepatocyte growth factor, also known as scatter factor) and signals via the PI3K and MAPK pathways.
  • HGF hepatocyte growth factor, also known as scatter factor
  • MET can be deregulated in cancer by mechanisms such as autocrine / paracrine HGF activation, over- expression of the receptor, and/or the presence of activating mutations.
  • MET is also implicated in atherosclerosis and lung fibrosis. Inhibition of MET can cause a decrease in cell motility, proliferation and metastasis, as reviewed in, e.g., Chemical & Engineering News 2007, 85 (34), 15-23.
  • Elevated expression of cMET has been detected in numerous cancers including lung, breast, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, head and neck, gastric, hepatocellular, ovarian, renal, glioma, melanoma, and some sarcomas (see reviews Christensen, J., 2005; Comoglio, P., 2008).
  • cMET gene amplification and resulting overexpression has been reported in gastric and colorectal cancer (Smolen, G., 2005; Zeng Z., 2008).
  • the cMET proto- oncogene has a role in human cancer and its over-expression correlates with poor prognosis.
  • EMT epithelial- mesenchymal transition
  • MET mesenchymal-epithelial transition
  • MET and RON kinases have been shown to play a role in the EMT process (Camp et al., 2007; Grotegut et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2004). It has been documented in vitro that RON and MET can form heterodimers and signal via such RON-MET dimers.
  • cMET and RON are known to interact and influence the activation of one another. Furthermore, co-expression of the two receptors, when compared to each receptor alone, is associated with the poorest clinical prognosis in bladder, CRC, and breast cancer patients. Since co-expression of RON and MET in cancer has been observed, such "cross-talk" may contribute to tumor growth.
  • therapies for use in proliferative disease including treatments for primary cancers, prevention of metastatic disease, and targeted therapies, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as MET and/or RON inhibitors, dual inhibitors, including selective inhibitors, and for potent, orally bioavailable, and efficacious inhibitors, and inhibitors that maintain sensitivity of E cells to epithelial cell directed therapies.

Abstract

Compounds of Formula I, as shown below and defined herein:(I) pharmaceutically acceptable salts, synthesis, intermediates, formulations, and methods of disease treatment therewith, including cancers mediated at least in part by Ron and/or Met.

Description

SUBSTITUTED PYRROLO [2 , 3 -B] PYRIDINES AND -PYRAZINES
FIELD AND BACKGROUND
[1] This application claims priority of US Appl. No. 61/116375, the contents of which are fully incorporated herein by reference.
[2] The present invention pertains at least in part to cancer treatment, certain chemical compounds, and methods of treating tumors and cancers with the compounds. [3] RON (recepteur d'origine nantais) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is part of the MET proto-oncogene family. It is activated by binding to its natural ligand MSP and signals via the PI3K and MAPK pathways. RON can be deregulated in cancer by mechanisms such as over- expression of the receptor and/or the presence of constitutively active splice variants. Inhibition of RON has been shown to lead to a decrease in proliferation, induction of apoptosis and affects cell metastasis. RON overexpression is observed in a variety of human cancers and exhibits increased expression with progression of the disease.
[4] MET (also known as c-Met) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is a heterodimeric protein comprising of a 50 kDa α-subunit and a 145kDa β-subunit (Maggiora et al., J. Cell Physiol., 173:183-186, 1997). It is activated by binding to its natural ligand HGF (hepatocyte growth factor, also known as scatter factor) and signals via the PI3K and MAPK pathways. MET can be deregulated in cancer by mechanisms such as autocrine / paracrine HGF activation, over- expression of the receptor, and/or the presence of activating mutations. Significant expression of MET has been observed in a variety of human tumors, such as colon, lung, prostate (including bone metastases), gastric, renal, HCC, ovarian, breast, ESCC, and melanoma (Maulik et al., Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews 13:41-59, 2002). MET is also implicated in atherosclerosis and lung fibrosis. Inhibition of MET can cause a decrease in cell motility, proliferation and metastasis, as reviewed in, e.g., Chemical & Engineering News 2007, 85 (34), 15-23.
[5] Elevated expression of cMET has been detected in numerous cancers including lung, breast, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, head and neck, gastric, hepatocellular, ovarian, renal, glioma, melanoma, and some sarcomas (see reviews Christensen, J., 2005; Comoglio, P., 2008). cMET gene amplification and resulting overexpression has been reported in gastric and colorectal cancer (Smolen, G., 2005; Zeng Z., 2008). Taken together, the cMET proto- oncogene has a role in human cancer and its over-expression correlates with poor prognosis. Abrogation of cMET function with small molecule inhibitors, anti-cMET antibodies or anti-HGF antibodies in preclinical xenograft model systems has shown impact when cMET signaling serves as the main driver for proliferation and cell survival (Comoglio, P., 2008). [b] As human cancers progress to a more invasive, metastatic state, multiple signaling programs regulating cell survival and migration programs are observed depending on cell and tissue contexts (Gupta and Massague, 2006). Recent data highlight the transdifferentiation of epithelial cancer cells to a more mesenchymal-like state, a process resembling epithelial- mesenchymal transition (EMT); (Oft et al., 1996; Perl et al., 1998), to facilitate cell invasion and metastasis (Brabletz et al., 2005; Christofori, 2006). Through EMT-like transitions mesenchymal-like tumor cells are thought to gain migratory capacity at the expense of proliferative potential. A mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) has been postulated to regenerate a more proliferative state and allow macrometastases resembling the primary tumor to form at distant sites (Thiery, 2002). MET and RON kinases have been shown to play a role in the EMT process (Camp et al., 2007; Grotegut et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2004). It has been documented in vitro that RON and MET can form heterodimers and signal via such RON-MET dimers.
[7] cMET and RON are known to interact and influence the activation of one another. Furthermore, co-expression of the two receptors, when compared to each receptor alone, is associated with the poorest clinical prognosis in bladder, CRC, and breast cancer patients. Since co-expression of RON and MET in cancer has been observed, such "cross-talk" may contribute to tumor growth.

Suitable Lewis acids for use in the above process include, but are not limited to BF3 «OEt2, AICI3, TiCI4, and the like. A preferred Lewis acid is BF3 «OEt2. Suitable solvents for use in the above process include, are not limited to, ethers such as THF, glyme, and the like; DMF; DMSO; MeCN; toluene; cyclohexane, and chlorinated solvents such as DCM or chloroform (CHCl3). If desired, mixtures of these solvents can be used; however, a preferred solvent is THF. The above process can be carried out at temperatures between about -78°C and about 120°C. Preferably, the reaction can be carried out between 40°C and about 70°C. An excess amount of the methyl source and Lewis acid are preferably used.
[168] Compounds similar to those of Formula Nl-A wherein the hydroxy group is replaced with an alkoxy group may also be used for the above process using the same Lewis acids and methyl source.
[169] Compounds similar to those of Formula N-A wherein the methyl group is replaced by an alkyl group can be prepared by replacing the methyl source with an alkyl source under otherwise similar reaction conditions.

Scheme 5
Figure imgf000022_0001
[174] Compounds of Formula N-B can be prepared as in Scheme 5, wherein R1 is as defined previously, A11 is halogen such as Cl, Br, or I, and B(OR)2 is a suitable boronic acid/ester. In a typical preparation a compound of Formula N-A can be reacted with a suitable coupling partner (Bis(pinacolato)diboron or Pinacolborane)) in a suitable solvent under Palladium catalysis. Suitable solvents for use in the above process include, but are not limited to, ethers such as THF, glyme, dioxane, dimethoxyethane, and the like; DMF; DMSO; MeCN; alcohols such as MeOH, EtOH, isopropanol, trifluoroethanol, and the like; and chlorinated solvents such as DCM or chloroform (CHCl3). If desired, mixtures of these solvents can be used; however, a preferred solvent is THF or dioxane. The above process can be carried out at temperatures between about -78°C and about 120°C. Preferably, the reaction is carried out between 60°C and about 100°C. The above process is preferably carried out at about atmospheric pressure although higher or lower pressures can be used. Substantially equimolar amounts of reactants used although higher or lower amounts can be used if desired.
[175] One skilled in the art will appreciate that alternative methods may be applicable for preparing compounds of Formula N-B. For example, via halogen-metal exchange (for example, halogen-Lithium exchange) and quench with borylation reagents such as tri- isopropyl borate. Scheme 6
Figure imgf000023_0001
[176] Chiral resolution: Compounds of Formula I have the carbon chiral center shown in Scheme 6. The enantiomerically pure isomers l-ena-A and l-ena-B can be prepared by a chiral resolution through a chemical reaction which leads to two diastereomers ll-A-dia-A and ll-A-dia-B. After separation of these two diastereomers by flash chromatography or crystallization, each diastereomer can be subjected to a Suzuki coupling as shown in Scheme 6 to produce l-ena-A and l-ena-B individually.
[177] In a typical preparation of ll-A-dia-A and ll-A-dia-B, a compound of Formula N-A is reacted with a chiral auxiliary in the presence of a coupling reagent to provide both ll-A-dia-A and ll-A-dia-B, which are separated by chromatography. Suitable chiral auxiliaries for use in the above process include, but are not limited to amino acids and their derivatives, (1 S)-(+)- camphor-10-sulfonic acid, (1 /?)-(-)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid and the like. However, a preferred chiral auxiliary is Fmoc-L-Leucine. Suitable solvents for use in the above process included, but are not limited to, ethers such as THF, glyme, dioxane, dimethoxyethane, and the like; DMF; DMSO; MeCN; alcohols such as MeOH, EtOH, isopropanol, trifluoroethanol, and the like; and chlorinated solvents such as DCM or chloroform (CHCl3). If desired, mixtures of these solvents can be used, however, a preferred solvent is DMF. The suitable coupling reagents for use in the above process include, but are not limited to DCC, EDC, TBTU, HBTU and the like. A preferred coupling reagent is TBTU. The above process can be carried out at temperatures between about -78°C and about 120°C. Preferably, the reaction is carried out between 0°C and about 60°C. The above process is preferably carried out at about atmospheric pressure although higher or lower pressures can be used if desired. Substantially equimolar amounts of reactants are preferably used although higher or lower amounts can be used if desired.
[178] After purification and separation, both ll-A-dia-A and ll-A-dia-B are reacted separately with a suitable boronic acid/ester (R2-B(OR)2), to provide both l-ena-A and l-ena-B, via typical
Suzuki coupling procedures as in Scheme 1.
[179] One skilled in the art will appreciate that instead of covalently attaching a chiral auxiliary to compound N-A one may form diastereomeric salts that may be separated by crystallization. Neutralization of the separated diastereomeric salts provides the separated enantiomers of N-A. Suitable chiral auxiliaries include, but are not limited to amino acids and their derivatives, (1 S)-(+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid, (1 /?)-(-)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid and the like.
Figure imgf000024_0001
[180] Alternatively, the enantiomerically pure isomers l-ena-A and l-ena-B can be prepared as in Scheme 7 individually from corresponding enantiomerically pure ll-A-ena-A and ll-A-ena- B through Suzuki coupling reactions. Enantiomerically pure ll-A-ena-A and ll-A-ena-B can be prepared from separation of racemic mixture N-A by a chiral chromatography as in Scheme 7. [181] The suitable system for separation of ll-A-ena-A and ll-A-ena-B by chromatography can be, but is not limited to, chiral HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) systems, chiral SFC (supercritical fluid chromatography) systems and the like. After separation, both ll- A-ena-A and ll-A-ena-B can be reacted individually with a suitable boronic acid/ester (R2- B(OR)2), to provide both l-ena-A and l-ena-B, via typical Suzuki coupling procedures as in Scheme 1. [182] As will be apparent to the skilled artisan, the synthetic route/sequence can be modified as desired for the preparation of a given compound. For example, Group R2 can be installed on compound IV-A under conditions similar to Schemes 1 , 5, and 4. The resulting compound can be treated with an appropriate benzaldehyde under conditions similar to Scheme 3, followed by introduction of a methyl group similar to Scheme 2. Moreover, in the foregoing syntheses, pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine cores can be substituted for the depicted pyrrolopyridines. [183] A skilled artisan will realize that the reactions shown in Schemes 1 , 4-7 can be conducted under similar conditions with compounds in which the methyl group shown is replaced by other alkyl or alkoxy groups within the scope defined for the variable X.
PREPARATIONS
[184] Unless otherwise noted, all materials/reagents were obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz or 300 MHz) and 13C NMR (100.6 MHz) spectra were recorded on Bruker or Varian instruments at ambient temperature with tetramethylsilane or the residual solvent peak as the internal standard. The line positions or multiples are given in ppm (δ) and the coupling constants (J) are given as absolute values in Hertz (Hz). The multiplicities in 1H NMR spectra are abbreviated as follows: s (singlet), d (doublet), t (triplet), q (quartet), quint (quintet), m (multiplet), mc (centered multiplet), br or broad (broadened), AA'BB'. The signal multiplicities in 13C NMR spectra were determined using the DEPT135 pulse sequence and are abbreviated as follows: + (CH or CH3), - (CH2), Cquart (C). Reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel 60 F254 (0.2 mm) precoated aluminum foil and visualized using UV light. Flash chromatography was performed with silica gel (400-230 mesh). Preparatory TLC was performed on Whatman LK6F Silica Gel 60 A size 20 x 20 cm plates with a thickness of 500 or 1000 μm.

Further, the compositions can be presented as a powder, as granules, as a solution, as a suspension in an aqueous liquid, as a non-aqueous liquid, as an oil-in-water emulsion, or as a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. In addition to the common dosage forms set out above, the compound represented by Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may also be administered by controlled release means and/or delivery devices. The compositions may be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy. In general, such methods include a step of bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier that constitutes one or more necessary ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both. The product can then be conveniently shaped into the desired presentation.
[454] Thus, a pharmaceutical composition of this invention may include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, of Formula I. The compounds of Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can also be included in pharmaceutical compositions in combination with one or more other therapeutically active compounds.
[455] The pharmaceutical carrier employed can be, for example, a solid, liquid, or gas. Examples of solid carriers include lactose, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid. Examples of liquid carriers are sugar syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, and water. Examples of gaseous carriers include carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
[456] In preparing the compositions for oral dosage form, any convenient pharmaceutical media may be employed. For example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents, and the like may be used to form oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions; while carriers such as starches, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents, and the like may be used to form oral solid preparations such as powders, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules are the preferred oral dosage units whereby solid pharmaceutical carriers are employed. Optionally, tablets may be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques.
[457] A tablet containing the composition of this invention may be prepared by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients or adjuvants. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing, in a suitable machine, the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine, a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. Each tablet preferably contains from about 0.05mg to about 5g of the active ingredient and each cachet or capsule preferably containing from about 0.05mg to about 5g of the active ingredient.
[458] For example, a formulation intended for the oral administration to humans may contain from about 0.5mg to about 5g of active agent, compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount of carrier material which may vary from about 5 to about 95 percent of the total composition. Unit dosage forms will generally contain between from about 1 mg to about 2g of the active ingredient, typically 25mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg, 300mg, 400mg, 500mg, 600mg, 800mg, or 1000mg.
[459] Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for parenteral administration may be prepared as solutions or suspensions of the active compounds in water. A suitable surfactant can be included such as, for example, hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof in oils. Further, a preservative can be included to prevent the detrimental growth of microorganisms.
[460] Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions. Furthermore, the compositions can be in the form of sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of such sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the final injectable form must be sterile and must be effectively fluid for easy syringability. The pharmaceutical compositions must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage; thus, preferably should be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), vegetable oils, and suitable mixtures thereof. [461] Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be in a form suitable for topical use such as, for example, an aerosol, cream, ointment, lotion, dusting powder, or the like. Further, the compositions can be in a form suitable for use in transdermal devices. These formulations may be prepared, utilizing a compound represented by Formula I of this invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, via conventional processing methods. As an example, a cream or ointment is prepared by admixing hydrophilic material and water, together with about 5wt% to about 10wt% of the compound, to produce a cream or ointment having a desired consistency.
[462] Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be in a form suitable for rectal administration wherein the carrier is a solid. It is preferable that the mixture forms unit dose suppositories. Suitable carriers include cocoa butter and other materials commonly used in the art. The suppositories may be conveniently formed by first admixing the composition with the softened or melted carrier(s) followed by chilling and shaping in molds. [463] In addition to the aforementioned carrier ingredients, the pharmaceutical formulations described above may include, as appropriate, one or more additional carrier ingredients such as diluents, buffers, flavoring agents, binders, surface-active agents, thickeners, lubricants, preservatives (including anti-oxidants) and the like. Furthermore, other adjuvants can be included to render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient. Compositions containing a compound described by Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may also be prepared in powder or liquid concentrate form.
