BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/579,711, filed on December 23, 201 1, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/672,030, filed on July 16, 2012, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/716, 172, filed on October 19, 2012.
[0002] Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is a family of lipid kinases that phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol at the 3' position of the inositol ring. PI3K is comprised of several classes of genes, including Class IA, IB, II and III and some of these classes contain several isoforms (reviewed in Engelman et al., Nature Review Genetics 7:606-619 (2006)). Adding to the complexity of this family is the fact that PI3Ks function as heterodimers, comprising a catalytic domain and a regulatory domain. The PI3K family is structurally related to a larger group of lipid and serine/threonine protein kinases known as the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase like kinases (PIKKs), which also includes DNA-PK, ATM, ATR, mTOR, TRRAP and SMG1.
[0003] PI3K is activated downstream of various mitogenic signals mediated through receptor tyrosine kinases, and subsequently stimulates a variety of biological outcomes; including increased cell survival, cell cycle progression, cell growth, cell metabolism, cell migration and angiogenesis (reviewed in Cantley, Science 296: 1655-57 (2002); Hennessy et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 4:988-1004 (2005); Engelman et al., Nature Review Genetics 7:606-619 (2006)). Thus, PI3K hyper-activation is associated with a number of hyper-proliferative, inflammatory, or cardiovascular disorders; including cancer, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease.
[0004] There are a number of genetic aberrations that lead to constitutive PI3K signaling; including activating mutations in PI3K itself (Hennessy et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 4:988-1004 (2005); reviewed in Bader et al., Nature Reviews Cancer 5:921-9 (2005)); RAS (reviewed in Downward Nature Reviews Cancer 3: 1 1-22 (2003)) and upstream receptor tyrosine kinases (reviewed in Zwick et al., Trends in Molecular Medicine 8: 17-23 (2002)) as well as inactivating mutations in the tumor suppressor PTEN (reviewed in Cully et al., Nature Reviews Cancer 6: 184-92 (2006)). Mutations in each of these gene classes have proven to be oncogenic and are commonly found in a variety of cancers.
[0005] The molecules defined within this invention inhibit the activity of PI3K, and therefore may be useful for the treatment of proliferative, inflammatory, or cardiovascular disorders.

[0006] Other classes of disorders with aberrant PI3K pathway signaling where the molecules defined within this invention may have a therapeutic benefit include inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases, including but not limited to allergies/anaphylaxis (reviewed in Rommel et al., Nature Reviews Immunology 7: 191 -201 (2007)), acute and chronic inflammation (reviewed in Ruckle et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 5:903- 12 (2006); reviewed in Rommel et al., Nature Reviews Immunology 7: 191-201 (2007)), rheumatoid arthritis (reviewed in Rommel et al., Nature Reviews Immunology 7: 191 - 201 (2007)); autoimmunity disorders (reviewed in Ruckle et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 5:903- 12 (2006)), thrombosis (Jackson et al., Nature Medicine 1 1 :507- 14 (2005); reviewed in Ruckle et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 5:903- 12 (2006)), hypertension (reviewed in Ruckle et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 5:903- 12 (2006)), cardiac hypertrophy (reviewed in Proud et al., Cardiovascular
Research 63:403-13 (2004)), and heart failure (reviewed in Mocanu et al., British Journal of Pharmacology 150:833-8 (2007)).
[0007] Vacuolar Protein Sorting 34 (VPS34) is the sole Class III PI3K family member. VPS34 functions in the formation and trafficking of multiple intracellular vesicles, including vacuoles, endosomes, multivessicular bodies, lysosomes and autophagosomes (reviewed in Backer Biochem J 2008; Yan and Backer Biochem J 2007). VPS34 carries out these activities by phosphorylating Ptdlns forming PtdIns3P, resulting in the recruitment and localization of a variety of FYVE and PX domain containing effector proteins that facilitate vesicular formation, elongation and movement. At a cellular level, inhibition of VPS34 results in defects in protein sorting and autophagy. Broadly defined, autophagy is a regulated process whereby cells catabolize subcellular components targeted for degradation by enclosing them in double -membrane vesicles which then fuse with lysosomes. Autophagy has been best characterized as occurring during times of nutrient deprivation, but also plays a role in normal cellular and tissue homeostasis and functions, including the development of multiple tissue types, the immune response, clearance of neuronal aggregates and tumor suppression. In addition to functioning in vesicle formation and movement, VPS34 may also participate in several signal transduction pathways (reviewed in Backer Biochem J 2008). Given that VPS34 plays an important role in many critical cellular processes including autophagy, inhibitors of VPS34 may have therapeutic application in a number of diseases, including but not limited to cancer, muscular disorders, neurodegeneration, inflammatory disease, infectious disease and other age related illnesses (reviewed in Shintani and Klionsky Science 2004; Kondo et al Nat Rev Cancer 2005; Delgato et al Immunol Rev 2009).
[0008] Clearly, it would be beneficial to provide novel VPS34 and/or PI3K inhibitors that possess good therapeutic properties, especially for the treatment of proliferative, inflammatory, or cardiovascular disorders.

Suitable substituents include those described below for a substituted aliphatic group and also include those described in the specification herein. It will be appreciated that two substituents of the alkylene group may be taken together to form a ring system. In certain embodiments, two substituents can be taken together to form a 3-7-membered ring. The substituents can be on the same or different atoms.
[0043] An alkylene chain also can be optionally interrupted by a functional group. An alkylene chain is "interrupted" by a functional group when an internal methylene unit is interrupted by the functional group. Examples of suitable "interrupting functional groups" are described in the specification and claims herein.

In addition to the substituents defined above and herein, suitable substituents on the unsaturated carbon atom of an aryl or heteroaryl group also include and are generally selected from -halo, -N02, -CN, -R+, -C(R+)=C(R+)2, -C≡C-R+, -OR+, -SR°, -S(0)R°, -S02R°, -S03R+, -S02N(R+)2, -N(R+)2, -NR+C(0)R+, -NR+C(S)R+, -NR+C(0)N(R+)2, -NR+C(S)N(R+)2, -N(R+)C(=NR+)-N(R+)2, -N(R+)C(=NR+)-R°, -NR+C02R+, -NR+S02R°, -NR+S02N(R+)2, -0-C(0)R+, -0-C02R+, -OC(0)N(R+)2, -C(0)R+, -C(S)R°, -C02R+, -C(0)-C(0)R+, -C(0)N(R+)2, -C(S)N(R+)2, -C(0)N(R+)-OR+, -C(0)N(R+)C(=NR+)-N(R+)2, -N(R+)C(=NR+)-N(R+)-C(0)R+, -C(=NR+)-N(R+)2, -C(=NR+)-OR+, -N(R+)-N(R+)2, -C(=NR+)-N(R+)-OR+, -C(R°)=N-OR+, -P(0)(R+)2, -P(0)(OR+)2, -0-P(0)-OR+, and -P(0)(NR+)-N(R+)2, wherein R+, independently, is hydrogen or an optionally substituted aliphatic, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloaliphatic, or heterocyclyl group, or two independent occurrences of R+ are taken together with their intervening atom(s) to form an optionally substituted 5-7-membered aryl, heteroaryl, cycloaliphatic, or heterocyclyl ring. Each R° is an optionally substituted aliphatic, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloaliphatic, or heterocyclyl group.
[0046] An aliphatic or heteroaliphatic group, or a non-aromatic carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring may contain one or more substituents and thus may be "optionally substituted". Unless otherwise defined above and herein, suitable substituents on the saturated carbon of an aliphatic or heteroaliphatic group, or of a non-aromatic carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring are selected from those listed above for the unsaturated carbon of an aryl or heteroaryl group and additionally include the following: =0, =S, =C(R*)2, =N- N(R*)2, =N-OR*, =N-NHC(0)R*, =N-NHC02R° =N-NHS02R° or =N-R* where R° is defined above, and each R* is independently selected from hydrogen or an optionally substituted Ci_6 aliphatic group.
[0047] In addition to the substituents defined above and herein, optional substituents on the nitrogen of a non-aromatic heterocyclic ring also include and are generally selected from -R+, -N(R+)2, -C(0)R+, -C(0)OR+, -C(0)C(0)R+, -C(0)CH2C(0)R+, -S(0)2R+, -S(0)2N(R+)2, -C(S)N(R+)2, -C(=NH)-N(R+)2, or -N(R+)S(0)2R+; wherein each R+ is defined above. A ring nitrogen atom of a heteroaryl or non-aromatic heterocyclic ring also may be oxidized to form the
corresponding N-hydroxy or N-oxide compound. A nonlimiting example of such a heteroaryl having an oxidized ring nitrogen atom is N-oxidopyridyl.
[0048] As detailed above, in some embodiments, two independent occurrences of R+ (or any other variable similarly defined in the specification and claims herein), are taken together with their intervening atom(s) to form a monocyclic or bicyclic ring selected from 3-13-membered cycloaliphatic, 3-12-membered heterocyclyl having 1-5 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, 6-10-membered aryl, or 5-10-membered heteroaryl having 1-5 heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur.
[0049] Exemplary rings that are formed when two independent occurrences of R+ (or any other variable similarly defined in the specification and claims herein), are taken together with their intervening atom(s) include, but are not limited to the following: a) two independent occurrences of R+ (or any other variable similarly defined in the specification or claims herein) that are bound to the same atom and are taken together with that atom to form a ring, for example, N(R+)2, where both occurrences of R+ are taken together with the nitrogen atom to form a piperidin- 1 -yl, piperazin- 1 -yl, or morpholin-4-yl group; and b) two independent occurrences of R+ (or any other variable similarly defined in the specification or claims herein) that are bound to different atoms and are taken together with both of those atoms to form a ring,
for example where a phenyl group is substituted with two occurrences of OR
+
, these two occurrences of R
+ are taken together with the oxygen atoms to which they are bound to form a fused 6-
membered oxygen containing ring:
It will be appreciated that a variety of other rings
(e.g., spiro and bridged rings) can be formed when two independent occurrences of R+ (or any other variable similarly defined in the specification and claims herein) are taken together with their intervening atom(s) and that the examples detailed above are not intended to be limiting.
[0050] Exemplary rings that are formed when two independent occurrences of ¾ and X5, Xe and X7, or X7 and X8; are taken together with their intervening atom(s) to form a fused group having 8 to 10 ring atoms inclu ited to the following:
[0051] Exemplary rings that are formed when two independent occurrences of Yi and -NR
9, Y
3 and -NR
9, Y
4 and Y
5, or Y
6 and Y
7 are taken together with their intervening atom(s) to form a fused group having 8 to 10 rin atoms include, but are not limited to the following:
[0052] Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all isomeric (e.g., enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational)) forms of the structure; for example, the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center, (Z) and (E) double bond isomers, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational) mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention. Additionally, unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures where there is a replacement of hydrogen by deuterium or tritium, or a replacement of a carbon by a 13C- or 14C-enriched carbon are within the scope of this invention. Such compounds are useful, as a nonlimiting example, as analytical tools or probes in biological assays.
[0053] It is to be understood that, when a disclosed compound has at least one chiral center, the present invention encompasses one enantiomer of inhibitor free from the corresponding optical isomer, racemic mixture of the inhibitor and mixtures enriched in one enantiomer relative to its corresponding optical isomer. When a mixture is enriched in one enantiomer relative to its optical isomers, the mixture contains, for example, an enantiomeric excess of at least 50%, 75%, 90%, 95% 99% or 99.5%.
[0054] The enantiomers of the present invention may be resolved by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by formation of diastereoisomenc salts which may be separated, for example, by crystallization; formation of diastereoisomeric derivatives or complexes which may be separated, for example, by crystallization, gas-liquid or liquid chromatography; selective reaction of one enantiomer with an enantiomer-specific reagent, for example enzymatic esterification; or gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example on a chiral support for example silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. Where the desired enantiomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired enantiomeric form. Alternatively, specific enantiomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer into the other by asymmetric transformation.
[0055] When a disclosed compound has at least two chiral centers, the present invention encompasses a diastereomer free of other diastereomers, a pair of diastereomers free from other diasteromeric pairs, mixtures of diasteromers, mixtures of diasteromeric pairs, mixtures of diasteromers in which one diastereomer is enriched relative to the other diastereomer(s) and mixtures of diasteromeric pairs in which one diastereomeric pair is enriched relative to the other diastereomeric pair(s). When a mixture is enriched in one diastereomer or diastereomeric pair(s) relative to the other diastereomers or diastereomeric pair(s), the mixture is enriched with the depicted or referenced diastereomer or diastereomeric pair(s) relative to other diastereomers or diastereomeric pair(s) for the compound, for example, by a molar excess of at least 50%, 75%, 90%, 95%, 99% or 99.5%.
[0056] The diastereoisomeric pairs may be separated by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example chromatography or crystallization and the individual enantiomers within each pair may be separated as described above. Specific procedures for chromatographically separating diastereomeric pairs of precursors used in the preparation of compounds disclosed herein are provided the examples herein.

Metal halogen exchange with a base such as «-BuLi in a solvent, for example THF, followed by quench with water can provide compounds xxiii from imidazoles xxii. Compounds xxiv can be prepared by treatment of compounds xxiii according to Method A. Fully substituted imidazoles xxv can be obtained from compounds xxiv by removal of the protecting group under standard conditions followed by treatment with an aryl fluoride in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate in a solvent, for example DMF. Alternatively, following removal of the protecting group under standard conditions compounds xxv can be prepared according to Method B.
[00125] The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art and / or by reference to the schemes shown below and the synthetic examples that follow.

In certain embodiments, these compositions optionally further comprise one or more additional therapeutic agents.
[00131] It will also be appreciated that certain of the compounds of present invention can exist in free form for treatment, or where appropriate, as a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof. According to the present invention, a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs, salts, esters, salts of such esters, or any other adduct or derivative which upon administration to a patient in need is capable of providing, directly or indirectly, a compound as otherwise described herein, or a metabolite or residue thereof.
[00132] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. A "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" means any non-toxic salt or salt of an ester of a compound of this invention that, upon administration to a recipient, is capable of providing, either directly or indirectly, a compound of this invention or an inhibitorily active metabolite or residue thereof. As used herein, the term "inhibitorily active metabolite or residue thereof means that a metabolite or residue thereof is also an inhibitor of VPS34 and/or PI3K.
[00133] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclop entanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and N+(Ci_4alkyl)4 salts. This invention also envisions the quaternization of any basic nitrogen-containing groups of the compounds disclosed herein. Water or oil-soluble or dispersable products may be obtained by such quaternization. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically
acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, loweralkyl sulfonate and aryl sulfonate.
[00134] As described above, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present invention additionally comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle, which, as used herein, includes any and all solvents, diluents, or other liquid vehicle, dispersion or suspension aids, surface active agents, isotonic agents, thickening or emulsifying agents, preservatives, solid binders, lubricants and the like, as suited to the particular dosage form desired. Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sixteenth Edition, E. W. Martin (Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1980) discloses various carriers used in formulating pharmaceutically acceptable compositions and known techniques for the preparation thereof. Except insofar as any conventional carrier medium is incompatible with the compounds of the invention, such as by producing any undesirable biological effect or otherwise interacting in a deleterious manner with any other component(s) of the pharmaceutically acceptable composition, its use is contemplated to be within the scope of this invention. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum stearate, lecithin, serum proteins, such as human serum albumin, buffer substances such as phosphates, glycine, sorbic acid, or potassium sorbate, partial glyceride mixtures of saturated vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes, such as protamine sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, zinc salts, colloidal silica, magnesium trisilicate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylates, waxes, polyethylene-polyoxypropylene-block polymers, wool fat, sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil; safflower oil; sesame oil; olive oil; corn oil and soybean oil; glycols; such a propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgment of the formulator.
[00135] In yet another aspect, a method for treating a proliferative, inflammatory, or cardiovascular disorder is provided comprising administering an effective amount of a compound, or a pharmaceutical composition to a subject in need thereof. In certain embodiments of the present invention an "effective amount" of the compound or pharmaceutical composition is that amount effective for treating a
proliferative, inflammatory, or cardiovascular disorder, or is that amount effective for treating cancer. In other embodiments, an "effective amount" of a compound is an amount which inhibits binding of PI3K and thereby blocks the resulting signaling cascades that lead to the abnormal activity of growth factors, receptor tyrosine kinases, protein serine/threonine kinases, G protein coupled receptors and phospholipid kinases and phosphatases.
[00136] The compounds and compositions, according to the method of the present invention, may be administered using any amount and any route of administration effective for treating the disease. The exact amount required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the disorder, the particular agent, its mode of administration, and the like. The compounds of the invention are preferably formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. The expression "dosage unit form" as used herein refers to a physically discrete unit of agent appropriate for the patient to be treated. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific effective dose level for any particular patient or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the disease being treated and the severity of the disease; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed, and like factors well known in the medical arts. The term "patient", as used herein, means an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human.
[00137] The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, as an oral or nasal spray, or the like, depending on the severity of the infection being treated. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the invention may be administered orally or parenterally at dosage levels of about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg and preferably from about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.
[00138] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and
sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
[00139] Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S. P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.
[00140] The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial- retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.
[00141] In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present invention, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.
[00142] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.
[00143] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a)
fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar— agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.
[00144] Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like.
[00145] The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.
[00146] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, and eye drops are
also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. Additionally, the present invention contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
[00147] While one or more of the inventive compounds may be used in an application of monotherapy to treat a disorder, disease or symptom, they also may be used in combination therapy, in which the use of an inventive compound or composition (therapeutic agent) is combined with the use of one or more other therapeutic agents for treating the same and/or other types of disorders, symptoms and diseases. Combination therapy includes administration of the therapeutic agents concurrently or sequentially. Alternatively, the therapeutic agents can be combined into one composition which is administered to the patient.
[00148] In one embodiment, the compounds of this invention are used in combination with other therapeutic agents, such as other inhibitors of VPS34 and/or PI3K. In some embodiments, a compound of the invention is administered in conjunction with a therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of cytotoxic agents, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. It is understood that other combinations may be undertaken while remaining within the scope of the invention.
[00149] Another aspect of the invention relates to inhibiting VPS34 and /or PI3K, activity in a biological sample or a patient, which method comprises administering to the patient, or contacting said biological sample with a compound of formula IA, IIA, IIIA, or IVA, or a composition comprising said compound. The term "biological sample", as used herein, generally includes in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo materials, and also includes, without limitation, cell cultures or extracts thereof; biopsied material obtained from a mammal or extracts thereof; and blood, saliva, urine, feces, semen, tears, or other body fluids or extracts thereof.
[00150] Still another aspect of this invention is to provide a kit comprising separate containers in a single package, wherein the inventive pharmaceutical compounds, compositions and/or salts thereof are used in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers to treat disorders, symptoms and diseases where VPS34 and/or PI3K kinase plays a role.

[00158] Analytical LCMS Methods
[00159] LCMS spectra were recorded on a Hewlett-Packard HP 1 100 or Agilent 1 100 Series LC system connected to a Micromass mass spectromteter using reverse phase CI 8 columns. Various gradients and run times were selected in order to best characterize the compounds. Mobile phases were based on ACN/water gradients and contained either 0.1% formic acid (methods indicated FA) or 10 mM ammonium acetate (methods indicated AA). One example of a solvent gradient that was used was 100%
mobile phase A (mobile phase A = 99% water + 1% ACN + 0.1% formic acid) to 100% mobile phase B (mobile phase B = 95% ACN + 5% water + 0.1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min for a 16.5 min run.
[00160] One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that modifications of the gradient, column length, and flow rate are possible and that some conditions may be suitable for compound characterization than others, depending on the chemical species being analyzed.
[00161] Example 1: Synthesis of A'-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-l,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridin-2- yl]acetamid
[00162] Step 1: N-(4-bromopyridin-2-yl)acetamide
[00163] To a solution of 4-bromopyridin-2-amine (12.0 g, 69.4 mmol) in acetic anhydride (240 mL) was added DMAP (0.0847 g, 0.694 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 140 °C for 3 h and then allowed to cool to rt. Ice water was added and the pH of the mixture was adjusted to 8.5 by the addition of concentrated NH4OH. The solid which precipitated was filtered, washed with cold water and hexanes, and dried to give N-(4-bromopyridin-2-yl)acetamide (13.3 g) as a white solid.
[00164] Step 2: Af-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-l,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl]acetamide
[00165] To a mixture of N-(4-bromopyridin-2-yl)acetamide (17.2 g, 80 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), 4,4,4',4',5,5,5',5'-octamethyl-2,2'-bi-l,3,2-dioxaborolane (26.4 g, 104 mmol), Pd(dppf)Cl2 (1 1.7 g, 16 mmol) and KOAc (23.6 g, 240 mmol) under an atmosphere of nitrogen was added anhydrous DMF (1500 mL). The mixture was allowed to stir at 80 °C for 3.5 h. The solvent was removed and the residue was diluted with EtOAc (1000 mL). Activated carbon (100 g) was added. The slurry was heated at reflux for 5 min and then filtered. The organic solution was concentrated and the residue was re-crystallized from EtOAc to give N-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-l,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl]acetamide (6.1 g, 29%) as a white solid. lH NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-i/6): δ 1.29 (s, 12H), 2.09 (s, 3H), 7.24 (dd, J = 6.0, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 8.30-8.33 (m, 2H), 10.47 (br s, 1H).
[00166] Compounds in the following table were prepared from the appropriate starting materials using the procedures described above:
[00167] Example 2: Synthesis of 2-[2-(acetylamino)pyridine-4-yl]-4-(2,4-dichlorophj
[00168] Step 1: methyl 2,4-dibromo-lH-imidazole-5-carboxylate
[00169] Methyl lH-imidazole-5-carboxylate (1.00 g, 7.93 mmol) was dissolved in ACN (50 mL) and NBS (3.53 g, 19.8 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture turned orange and was allowed to stir at rt for 5 h. The reaction mixture was then concentrated and the residue was dissolved in EtOAc. The organic solution was washed with Na2S203 and brine, dried over Na2S04 and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give methyl 2,4-dibromo-lH-imidazole-5-carboxylate (0.798 g, 35%). LCMS (AA ): m/z = 285 (Μ+Η).
[00170] Step 2: methyl 2,4-dibromo-l-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-lH-imidazole-5- carboxylate
[00171] To a suspension of NaH (0.220 g, 60% in mineral oil) in THF (5 mL) at 0 °C was added methyl 2,4-dibromo-lH-imidazole-5-carboxylate (1.50 g, 5.28 mmol) in THF (13 mL) slowly. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt and to stir for 1.5 h. [2-(chloromethoxy)ethyl]- (trimethyl)silane (0.982 mL, 5.55 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at rt for 3.5 h. The reaction was quenched by the addition of aqueous sodium bicarbonate and the solution was extracted several times with DCM. The organic solutions were combined, dried over Na2S04, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give two compounds, each with the
mass of the desired product. These were assigned to be methyl 2,4-dibromo-l- {[2-(trimethylsilyl)- ethoxy]methyl}- lH-imidazole-5-carboxylate (first peak, less polar, 0.86 g, 39%) and the regioisomer, methyl 2,5-dibromo- 1 -((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)- lH-imidazole-4-carboxylate (second peak, more polar, 1.19 g, 54%). LCMS (FA, less polar product): m/z = 357 (Μ+Η). LCMS (FA, more polar product): m/z = 357 (Μ+Η).
[00172] Step 3: Methyl 2-(2-acetamidopyridin-4-yl)-4-bromo-l-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)- ethoxy]methyl}-lH-imidazole-5-carboxylate
[00173] Methyl 2,4-dibromo- 1 - { [2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl} - lH-imidazole-5-carboxylate

The reaction mixtue was allowed to stir at reflux for 3 h, then was allowed to cool to rt and diluted with EtOAc. The mixture was washed with aqueous sodium carbonate and the organic solution was dried over Na2S04, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give methyl 2-(2-acetamidopyridin-4-yl)-4-bromo- 1 - { [2-(trimethylsilyl)-ethoxy]methyl} - lH-imidazole-5- carboxylate (0.42 g, 43%).

[00223] Human VPS34 enzyme assay method
[00224] lOOnL compounds in DMSO are added to wells of a 384 well mzcrotitre plate (Greiner 780076). At room temperature: 5ul VPS34 reaction buffer (Invitrogen Assay Buffer Q (diluted 1 in 5 with nanopure water) plus 2mM DTT and 2mM MnCl2) containing ATP (20uM, Promega) and 200uM PI-PS substrate (Invitrogen PV5122) is added followed immediately by 5ul VPS34 reaction buffer (as above) containing VPS34 (5nM, Millennium Protein Sciences Group) and the mixture is incubated with shaking at room temperature for 1 hour. Then 5ul VPS34 stop-detect mix (as per Invitrogen Adapta Assay kit (PV5009) instructions (contains kinase quench buffer, TR-FRET buffer, Adapta Eu anti-ADP antibody and Alexa Fluor 647 ADP tracer)) is added to quench the reaction. The plates are then incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature with shaking and then read on a BMG PheraStar Plus reader.
[00225] For the assay methods described above, test compound percent inhibition, at various concentrations, is calculated relative to control (DMSO and EDTA) treated samples. Compound concentration versus percent inhibition curves are fitted to generate IC5o values. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the values generated either as percentage inhibition at a single concentration or IC5o values are subject to experimental variation.

The cells are incubated for 30 minutes in a humidified chamber at 37°C with 5% C02. Immediately following compound incubation, all liquid is removed from the wells and cells are fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS (75 μΐ per well) for 15 minutes at room temperature. The paraformaldehyde solution is removed from wells and washed once with PBS (100 μΐ per well). The PBS is removed and cells are incubated with DRAQ5 Nuclear Dye (Alexis/Biostatus) (85 μΐ per well). The plates are covered with Flash Plate plastic adhesive foil and imaged on the Evotec Technologies OPERA Confocal Imager Opera after at least a 30 minute incubation. Concentration curves are generated by calculating the Integrated Spot Intensity Per Cellular Signal decrease in test-compound treated samples relative to DMSO-treated controls and a 100% control inhibitor, and percentage inhibition values at a single concentration or growth inhibition (IC5o) values are determined from the curves. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the values generated either as percentage inhibition at a single concentration or IC5o values are subject to experimental variation.

[00237] PI3K Assay Conditions
[00238] 1) Human PI3Ka enzyme assay method
[00239] 0.5uL compounds in DMSO are added to wells of a 384 well microtitre plate (Corning 3575). At room temperature: lOul PI3K reaction buffer (50 mM Hepes, 5mM DTT, 150mM NaCl, lOmM beta- glycerophosphate, lOmM MgCl2, 0.25mM sodium cholate and 0.001% CHAPS, pH 7.00) containing ATP (25uM, Promega) is added followed immediately by lOul PI3K reaction buffer containing di-C8 PI(4,5)P2 (3.5uM, CellSignals) and PBKalpha (0.4875nM, Millennium Protein Sciences Group) and the mixture is incubated with shaking at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then 5ul PI3K stop mix (50mM Hepes, 5mM DTT, 150 mM NaCl, 0.01% Tween-20, 15 mM EDTA and 25nM biotin-PI(3,4,5)P3 (Echelon) is added to quench the reaction followed immediately by addition of 5ul HTRF detection mix (50mM Hepes, 5mM DTT, 150 mM NaCl, 0.01% Tween-20, 40mM KF, ΙΟηΜ GST:GRP-1 PH domain (Millennium Protein Sciences Group), 15nM Streptavidin-XL (CisBio) and 0.375nM anti-GST Eu++ antibody (CisBio) at pH 7.00). The plates are then incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with shaking and then read on a BMG PheraStar Plus reader.
[00240] 2) Human PI3K beta, delta and gamma isoforms are tested using the procedure described for PI3K alpha above but with the following changes: PI3K beta (5.25nM), PI3K delta (0.75nM) and PI3K gamma (5nM). All isoforms supplied by Millennium Protein Science Group.
[00241] 3) VPS34 is assayed using Adapta™ Universal Kinase Assay Kit (Invitrogen).
[00242] For the assay methods described above, test compound percent inhibition, at various concentrations, is calculated relative to control (DMSO and EDTA) treated samples. Compound concentration versus percent inhibition curves are fitted to generate IC5o values. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the values generated either as percentage inhibition at a single concentration or IC5o values are subject to experimental variation.
[00243] PI3K Cell Assays
[00244] 1) In-Cell Western Assay
[00245] The pSer473 AKT LI-COR In-Cell Western Assay is a quantitative immunofluorescent assay that measures phosphorylation of serine 473 AKT (pSer473 AKT) in WM266.4 and SKOV3 tumor cell lines grown in cell culture.
[00246] WM266.4 cells are propagated in Minimum Essential Media (MEM) (Invitrogen) containing L-glutamine, 10% Fetal Bovine Serum, 1 mM MEM Sodium Pyruvate, and 0.1 mM MEM Non-Essential Amino Acids and SKOV3 cells are propagated in McCoy's 5 A Media (modified) (Invitrogen) containing L-Glutamine and 10% Fetal Bovine Serum. Both cell lines are kept in a humidified chamber at 37°C with 5% C02. For the pSer473 AKT LI-COR In-Cell Western Assay, 1.5 x 104 WM266.4 and 1.5 x 104 SKOV3 cells are cultured in 100 μΐ of media per well in tissue culture-treated black- walled, clear bottom Optilux 96-well plates (BD Biosciences) for 16-20 hours. Prior to addition of compounds, cell media is removed and replaced with 75 μΐ of fresh media. Test compounds in DMSO are diluted 1 : 100 in media. The diluted test compounds are added to the cells (25 μΐ per well) in 3 -fold dilutions with a final concentration range of 0.0015 to 10 μΜ. The cells are incubated for 2 hours in a humidified chamber at 37°C with 5% CO2. Immediately following compound incubation, all liquid is removed from the wells and cells are fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS (150 μΐ per well) for 20 minutes at room temperature. The paraformaldehyde solution is removed from wells and the cells are permeabilized with 200 μΐ 0.1% Triton X- 100 in PBS per well for 10 min x 3 at room temperature. After removal of PBS + 0.1% Triton X-100, 150 μΐ Odyssey blocking buffer (LI-COR Biosciences) is added to each well and plates are incubated at room temperature for 1.5 h. Blocking buffer is removed from the wells and primary antibodies (Phospho-AKT (Ser473) (D9E) XP™ Rabbit mAb and AKT (pan) (40D4) Mouse mAb, Cell Signaling Technology) diluted in Odyssey blocking buffer are added (50 μΐ per well). Plates are incubated at 4°C overnight. The cells are washed for 20 min x 3 with PBS + 0.1% Tween-20 (200 μΐ per well). Secondary antibodies (IRDye 680 Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) and IRDye 800CW Goat anti- Mouse IgG (H+L), LI-COR Biosciences) are diluted in Odyssey blocking buffer and added to wells (50 μΐ per well) followed by a 1 h incubation at room temperature, protected from light. Cells are washed for 20 min x 3 with PBS + 0.1% Tween-20 (200 μΐ per well). Wash buffer is completely removed from wells after last wash, plates are protected from light until scanned and analyzed with the Odyssey Infrared
Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences). Both pS473 AKT and AKT are simultaneously visualized with the 680 nm fluorophore indicated by a red color and the 800 nm fluorophore indicated by a green color. Relative fluorescence units derived from the scans allow for quantitative analyses of both labeled proteins and the ratio of pS473 AKT to AKT is calculated. Concentration response curves are generated by plotting the average ratios of PI3K inhibitor-treated samples relative to DMSO-treated controls to determine percent change in expression of pS473 AKT, and percentage inhibition values at a single concentration or growth inhibition (IC5o) values are determined from those curves. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the values generated either as percentage inhibition at a single concentration or IC5o values are subject to experimental variation.
