Definitions

  • TITLE Substituted lH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine and lH-Pyrazolo [3, 4-b] pyridine Derivatives as Salt Inducible Kinase 2 (SIK2) Inhibitors
  • the present invention is directed to compounds, their synthesis, and their use as modulators or inhibitors of the Salt Inducible Kinase 2 ("SIK2" kinase).
  • SIK2 Salt Inducible Kinase 2
  • the compounds of the present invention are useful for modulating (e.g. inhibiting) SIK2 activity and for treating diseases or conditions mediated by SIK2 such as for example, disease states associated with abnormal cell growth such as cancer, stroke, obesity and type 2 diabetes.
  • SIK2 Salt Inducible Kinase 2
  • SIK1 SNF 1LK
  • SIK2 SNF1LK
  • QSK SIK3
  • the SIK2 is amplified in large B- cell lymphoma, ovarian, melanoma and beast cancer patients. Recent findings suggest that SIK2 over expression enhanced cell death after ischemia and metabolic diseases as well.
  • SIK2 Inhibition of SIK2 was reported to cause SIK2-dependent centrosome splitting in interphase while SIK2 depletion blocked centrosome separation in mitosis, sensitizing ovarian cancers to paclitaxel in culture and in xenografts. Depletion of SIK2 also delayed Gl/S transition and reduced AKT phosphorylation. Higher expression of SIK2 significantly correlated with poor survival in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancers (Bast, Jr., et al, Cancer Cell, 18, 109-121, 2010) and is a plausible therapeutic target for therapy in ovarian cancers.
  • SIK2 Salt Inducible Kinase 2
  • Ovarian Cancer accounts 3% of cancers in women and is the fifth leading cause of cancer related death among women. Nearly 22,240 women were diagnosed in 2013 with OC in US alone with about 14,030 women estimated to die from this deadly gynecologic malignancy of American women. Ovarian cancer is one of the cancers difficult to detect prior to its advanced stage. The currently available treatments, other than surgery and radiation, are chemotheurapeutics and the few approved targeted agents.
  • SIK2 inhibitors that block SIK2 activity is to recruite melanogenesis. This leads to recovery of brown hair in 6 to 8 weeks.
  • SIK2 controlled the TORC1 (Transducer of regulated CREB activity- 1) from entering the nucleus and activating CREB, and this enhanced cell death after ischemia.
  • the SIK2 inhibitor could enhance CREB (cAMP Responsive Element-Binding) protein activity and prevent neuron death in response to ischemia.
  • the SIK2 deficient mice were protected from stroke suggests that SIK2 degradation after ischemia is required for neurons.
  • the present invention is directed to composition and method of use for novel H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine and lH-pyrazolo[3,4-Z?]pyridine inhibitors of SIK2 and SIK3 useful for treating multiple disease indications, including cancer (ovarian, breast, prostate, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, lung, NSCL and melanoma), autophagy function, stroke, obesity, and type II diabetes.

Description

TITLE: Substituted lH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine and lH-Pyrazolo [3, 4-b] pyridine Derivatives as Salt Inducible Kinase 2 (SIK2) Inhibitors
FIELD OF INVENTION
[001] The present invention is directed to compounds, their synthesis, and their use as modulators or inhibitors of the Salt Inducible Kinase 2 ("SIK2" kinase). The compounds of the present invention are useful for modulating (e.g. inhibiting) SIK2 activity and for treating diseases or conditions mediated by SIK2 such as for example, disease states associated with abnormal cell growth such as cancer, stroke, obesity and type 2 diabetes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Substituted 5-(pyrazin-2-yl)-lh-pyrazolo [3, 4-b] pyridine and pyrazolo [3, 4-b] pyridine derivatives as protein kinase inhibitors are described in US patent publication No. 2013/0102586 and International Publication No. WO2012/135631.
[003] Salt Inducible Kinase 2 (SIK2) is a centrosome kinase required for bipolar mitotic spindle formation and is a Ser/Thr kinase. Three isoforms of SIK family have been reported; SIK1 (SNF 1LK), SIK2 (SNF1LK, QIK) and SIK3 (QSK). The SIK2 is amplified in large B- cell lymphoma, ovarian, melanoma and beast cancer patients. Recent findings suggest that SIK2 over expression enhanced cell death after ischemia and metabolic diseases as well. Inhibition of SIK2 was reported to cause SIK2-dependent centrosome splitting in interphase while SIK2 depletion blocked centrosome separation in mitosis, sensitizing ovarian cancers to paclitaxel in culture and in xenografts. Depletion of SIK2 also delayed Gl/S transition and reduced AKT phosphorylation. Higher expression of SIK2 significantly correlated with poor survival in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancers (Bast, Jr., et al, Cancer Cell, 18, 109-121, 2010) and is a plausible therapeutic target for therapy in ovarian cancers.
[004] The Salt Inducible Kinase 2 (SIK2) depletion in cancer cells had a significant decrease in cancer cell growth, delayed mitotic progression and Gl/S transition and decreased AKT phosphorylation. Deficiency of SIK2 significantly sensitized cancer cells to taxnae and paclitaxel in vivo xenograft models in interfering with mitotic progression. In this work we established the basis of utilizing SIK2 as a target for therapy in cancer by evaluating its effect on taxane, paclitaxel sensitization in a panel of cell lines, confirming activity in xenografts that the SIK2 is over-expressed in 30% of ovarian cancers and to further develop an assay to measure SIK2 activity. Ovarian Cancer (OC) accounts 3% of cancers in women and is the fifth leading cause of cancer related death among women. Nearly 22,240 women were diagnosed in 2013 with OC in US alone with about 14,030 women estimated to die from this deadly gynecologic malignancy of American women. Ovarian cancer is one of the cancers difficult to detect prior to its advanced stage. The currently available treatments, other than surgery and radiation, are chemotheurapeutics and the few approved targeted agents.
[005] Additionally, an advantage of SIK2 inhibitors that block SIK2 activity is to recruite melanogenesis. This leads to recovery of brown hair in 6 to 8 weeks.
[006] Recent reports suggests that the over expression of SIK2 controlled the TORC1 (Transducer of regulated CREB activity- 1) from entering the nucleus and activating CREB, and this enhanced cell death after ischemia. The SIK2 inhibitor could enhance CREB (cAMP Responsive Element-Binding) protein activity and prevent neuron death in response to ischemia. The SIK2 deficient mice were protected from stroke suggests that SIK2 degradation after ischemia is required for neurons.
[007] There continues to be a need for new drugs to treat multiple cancer indications, melanogenesis, stroke, cardiovascular, obesity and type II diabetes diseases where SIK2 and its isoforms play a pivotal role in these multiple disease indications. Using the homology structure of the SIK2 and our FFDD (Fragment Field Drug Design) or FIELDS guided lead
identification, screening and SAR efforts; we have discovered the first-in-class novel H- pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine and lH-pyrazolo[3,4-Z?]pyridine inhibitors of SIK2 that would be useful for treating multiple disease indications, including cancer (ovarian, breast, prostate, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and melanoma), stroke, obesity, type II diabetes. We disclose here the composition and method of use for inhibitors of SIK2.
[008] Accordingly, the present invention is directed to composition and method of use for novel H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine and lH-pyrazolo[3,4-Z?]pyridine inhibitors of SIK2 and SIK3 useful for treating multiple disease indications, including cancer (ovarian, breast, prostate, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, lung, NSCL and melanoma), autophagy function, stroke, obesity, and type II diabetes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[009] The present invention concerns compounds active on protein kinases, specifically SIK1, SIK2 and SIK3, and in general, including but not limited to CLK1, CLK2, DYRK1, DYRK1A, ITK, Janus family of kinases (JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2), LRRK2, LRRK2 G2019, MELK, MAP4K1, MAP4K5, NIK, PKCd, RSK4, STK2, STK3, STK4, STK10 and TNIK1, including any mutations of these kinases and the use thereof in treating disease and conditions associated with egulations of the activity of these kianses. More specifically the invention concerns compounds of Formula I, IA, and IB as described below. Thus the invention provides novel use of compounds for therapeutic methods involving inhibition and or modulation of protein kinases specifically SIK family of kinases; SIK1 (SNF1LK), SIK2 (SNF1LK, QIK) and SIK3 (QSK), as well as novel compounds that can be used for the theurapeutic methods involving modulation of these protein kinases.

[0075] Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers". Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed
"stereoisomers". Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed
"diastereomers" and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed "enantiomers". When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups; a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog (Cahn, R., Ingold, C, and Prelog, V. Angew. Chem. 78:413-47, 1966; Angew. Chem. Internal Ed. Eng. 5:385-415, 511, 1966), or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture".
[0076] The compounds of this invention may possess one or more asymmetric centers; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R)- or (S)-stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof. Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and mixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art (see discussion in Ch. 4 of ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, 4th edition, March, J., John Wiley and Sons, New York City, 1992).
[0077] The compounds of the present invention may exhibit the phenomena of tautomerism and structural isomerism. This invention encompasses any tautomeric or structural isomeric form and mixtures thereof which possess the ability to modulate SIK2 activity and is not limited to, any one tautomeric or structural isomeric form.
[0078] It is contemplated that a compound of the present invention would be metabolized by enzymes in the body of the organism such as human being to generate a metabolite that can modulate the activity of the protein kinases. Such metabolites are within the scope of the present invention.
[0079] A compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be administered as such to a human patient or can be administered in pharmaceutical compositions in which the foregoing materials are mixed with suitable carriers or excipient(s). Techniques for formulation and administration of drugs may be found, for example, in REMINGTON'S PHARMACOLOGICAL SCIENCES, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA, latest edition.
[0080] A "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a mixture of one or more of the compounds described herein or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, with other chemical components, such as pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration of a compound to an organism.
[0081] "Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" refers to an inert substance added to a pharmaceutical composition to further facilitate administration of a compound. Examples, without limitation, of excipients include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars and types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, vegetable oils and polyethylene glycols. [0082] "Pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the parent compound. Such salts may include: (1) acid addition salt which is obtained by reaction of the free base of the parent compound with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid and the like, or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, (D)- or (L)- malic acid, maleic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid and the like, preferably hydrochloric acid or (L)-malic acid; or (2) salts formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound either is replaced by a metal ion, e.g., an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth ion, or an aluminum ion; or coordinates with an organic base such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, N-methylglucamine, and the like.
[0083] The compound of the present invention may also act, or be designed to act, as a prodrug. A "prodrug" refers to an agent, which is converted into the parent drug in vivo.
Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent drug is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a compound of the present invention, which is, administered as an ester (the "prodrug"), phosphate, amide, carbamate, or urea.
[0084] "Therapeutically effective amount" refers to that amount of the compound being administered which will relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disorder being treated. In reference to the treatment of cancer, a therapeutically effective amount refers to that amount which has the effect of: (1) reducing the size of the tumor; (2) inhibiting tumor metastasis; (3) inhibiting tumor growth; and/or (4) relieving one or more symptoms associated with the cancer.
[0085] The term "disease", as used herein, means any disease or other deleterious condition in which a SIK2 is known to play a role. The term "disease" also means those diseases or conditions that are alleviated by treatment with SIK2 modulators. Such conditions include, without limitation, cancer and other hyperproliferative disorders as well as inflammation. In certain embodiments, the cancer is a cancer of colon, breast, stomach, prostate, pancreas, or ovarian tissue.
[0086] The term "SIK2 activity-mediated condition" or "disease", as used herein, means any disease or other deleterious condition in which SIK2 activity is known to play a role. The term "SIK2 activity-mediated condition" also means those diseases or conditions that are alleviated by treatment with a SIK2 inhibitor.
[0087] As used herein, "administer" or "administration" refers to the delivery of an inventive compound or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or of a pharmaceutical composition containing an inventive compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof of this invention to an organism for the purpose of prevention or treatment of a protein kinase- related disorder.
[0088] Suitable routes of administration may include, without limitation, oral, rectal, transmucosal or intestinal administration or intramuscular, subcutaneous, intramedullary, intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intravenous, intravitreal, intraperitoneal, intranasal, or intraocular injections. In certain embodiments, the preferred routes of administration are oral and intravenous. Alternatively, one may administer the compound in a local rather than systemic manner, for example, via injection of the compound directly into a solid tumor, often in a depot or sustained release formulation. Furthermore, one may administer the drug in a targeted drug delivery system, for example, in a liposome coated with tumor-specific antibody. In this way, the liposomes may be targeted to and taken up selectively by the tumor.
[0089] Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be manufactured by processes well known in the art, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or lyophilizing processes.
[0090] Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present invention may be formulated in any conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries which facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen.
[0091] For injection, the compounds of the invention may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks' solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art.
[0092] For oral administration, the compounds can be formulated by combining the active compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art. Such carriers enable the compounds of the invention to be formulated as tablets, pills, lozenges, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient. Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be made using a solid excipient, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding other suitable auxiliaries if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Useful excipients are, in particular, fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol, cellulose preparations such as, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch and potato starch and other materials such as gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl- cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents may be added, such as cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid. A salt such as sodium alginate may also be used.
[0093] Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.
[0094] Pharmaceutical compositions which can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push- fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, a binder such as starch, and/or a lubricant such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. Stabilizers may be added in these formulations, also. Pharmaceutical compositions which may also be used include hard gelatin capsules. The capsules or pills may be packaged into brown glass or plastic bottles to protect the active compound from light. The containers containing the active compound capsule formulation are preferably stored at controlled room temperature (15- 30°C).
[0095] For administration by inhalation, the compounds for use according to the present invention may be conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray using a pressurized pack or a nebulizer and a suitable propellant, e.g., without limitation, dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetra-fluoroethane or carbon dioxide. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be controlled by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of, for example, gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch. [0096] The compounds may also be formulated for parenteral administration, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulating materials such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents.
[0097] Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of a water soluble form, such as, without limitation, a salt, of the active compound.
Additionally, suspensions of the active compounds may be prepared in a lipophilic vehicle. Suitable lipophilic vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, synthetic fatty acid esters such as ethyl oleate and triglycerides, or materials such as liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers and/or agents that increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.
[0098] Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile, pyrogen- free water, before use.
[0099] The compounds may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, using, e.g., conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
[00100] In addition to the formulations described previously, the compounds may also be formulated as depot preparations. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example, subcutaneous ly or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. A compound of this invention may be formulated for this route of administration with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for instance, in an emulsion with a pharmacologically acceptable oil), with ion exchange resins, or as a sparingly soluble derivative such as, without limitation, a sparingly soluble salt.
[00101] A non-limiting example of a pharmaceutical carrier for the hydrophobic compounds of the invention is a cosolvent system comprising benzyl alcohol, a nonpolar surfactant, a water-miscible organic polymer and an aqueous phase such as the VPD cosolvent system. VPD is a solution of 3% w/v benzyl alcohol, 8% w/v of the nonpolar surfactant polysorbate 80, and 65% w/v polyethylene glycol 300, made up to volume in absolute ethanol. The VPD cosolvent system (VPD: D5W) consists of VPD diluted 1 : 1 with a 5% dextrose in water solution. This cosolvent system dissolves hydrophobic compounds well, and itself produces low toxicity upon systemic administration. Naturally, the proportions of such a cosolvent system may be varied considerably without destroying its solubility and toxicity characteristics. Furthermore, the identity of the cosolvent components may be varied: for example, other low-toxicity nonpolar surfactants may be used instead of polysorbate 80, the fraction size of polyethylene glycol may be varied, other biocompatible polymers may replace polyethylene glycol, e.g., polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and other sugars or polysaccharides may substitute for dextrose.
[00102] Alternatively, other delivery systems for hydrophobic pharmaceutical compounds may be employed. Liposomes and emulsions are well known examples of delivery vehicles or carriers for hydrophobic drugs. In addition, certain organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide also may be employed, although often at the cost of greater toxicity.
[00103] Additionally, the compounds may be delivered using a sustained-release system, such as semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the therapeutic agent. Various sustained-release materials have been established and are well known by those skilled in the art. Sustained-release capsules may, depending on their chemical nature, release the compounds for a few weeks up to over 100 days. Depending on the chemical nature and the biological stability of the therapeutic reagent, additional strategies for protein stabilization may be employed.
[00104] The pharmaceutical compositions herein also may comprise suitable solid or gel phase carriers or excipients. Examples of such carriers or excipients include, but are not limited to, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars, starches, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, and polymers such as polyethylene glycols.
[00105] Many of the SIK2-modulating compounds of the invention may be provided as physiologically acceptable salts wherein the claimed compound may form the negatively or the positively charged species. Examples of salts in which the compound forms the positively charged moiety include, without limitation, quaternary ammonium (defined elsewhere herein), salts such as the hydrochloride, sulfate, carbonate, lactate, tartrate, malate, maleate, succinate wherein the nitrogen atom of the quaternary ammonium group is a nitrogen of the selected compound of this invention which has reacted with the appropriate acid. Salts in which a compound of this invention forms the negatively charged species include, without limitation, the sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salts formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid group in the compound with an appropriate base (e.g. sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), etc.).
[00106] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for use in the present invention include compositions wherein the active ingredients are contained in an amount sufficient to achieve the intended purpose, e.g., the modulation of protein kinase activity and/or the treatment or prevention of a protein kinase-related disorder.
[00107] More specifically, a therapeutically effective amount means an amount of compound effective to prevent, alleviate or ameliorate symptoms of disease or prolong the survival of the subject being treated.
[00108] Determination of a therapeutically effective amount is well within the capability of those skilled in the art, especially in light of the detailed disclosure provided herein.
[00109] For any compound used in the methods of the invention, the therapeutically effective amount or dose can be estimated initially from cell culture assays. Then, the dosage can be formulated for use in animal models so as to achieve a circulating concentration range that includes the IC50 as determined in cell culture (i.e., the concentration of the test compound which achieves a half-maximal inhibition of the SIK2, or surrogate marker activity). Such information can then be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans.
[001 10] Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the compounds described herein can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., by determining the IC50 and the LD50 (both of which are discussed elsewhere herein) for a subject compound. The data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in humans. The dosage may vary depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition. (See, e.g., GOODMAN & GILMAN'S THE PHARMACOLOGICAL BASIS OF THERAPEUTICS, Ch. 3, 9th ed., Ed. by Hardman, J., and Limbard, L., McGraw-Hill, New York City, 1996, p.46.)
[001 11] Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active species which are sufficient to maintain the kinase modulating effects. These plasma levels are referred to as minimal effective concentrations (MECs). The MEC will vary for each compound but can be estimated from in vitro data, e.g., the concentration necessary to achieve 50-90% inhibition of SIK2, or surrogate marker may be ascertained using the assays described herein. Dosages necessary to achieve the MEC will depend on individual characteristics and route of administration. HPLC assays or bioassays can be used to determine plasma concentrations.
[001 12] Dosage intervals can also be determined using MEC value. Compounds should be administered using a regimen that maintains plasma levels above the MEC for 10-90% of the time, preferably between 30-90% and most preferably between 50-90%. [001 13] At present, the therapeutically effective amounts of compounds of the present invention may range from approximately 2.5mg/m2 to 1500mg/m2 per day. Additional illustrative amounts range from 0.2-1000mg/qid, 2-500mg/qid, and 20-250mg/qid.
[001 14] In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of the drug may not be related to plasma concentration, and other procedures known in the art may be employed to determine the correct dosage amount and interval.
[001 15] The amount of a composition administered will, of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner of administration, the judgment of the prescribing physician, etc.
[001 16] The compositions may, if desired, be presented in a pack or dispenser device, such as an FDA approved kit, which may contain one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. The pack may for example comprise metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack. The pack or dispenser device may be accompanied by instructions for administration. The pack or dispenser may also be accompanied by a notice associated with the container in a form prescribed by a governmental agency regulating the manufacture, use or sale of
pharmaceuticals, which notice is reflective of approval by the agency of the form of the compositions or of human or veterinary administration. Such notice, for example, may be of the labeling approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for prescription drugs or of an approved product insert. Compositions comprising a compound of the invention formulated in a compatible pharmaceutical carrier may also be prepared, placed in an appropriate container, and labeled for treatment of an indicated condition. Suitable conditions indicated on the label may include treatment of a tumor, inhibition of angiogenesis, treatment of fibrosis, diabetes, and the like.
[001 17] As mentioned above, the compounds and compositions of the invention will find utility in a broad range of diseases and conditions mediated by protein kinases, including diseases and conditions mediated by SIK2 activity. Such diseases may include by way of example and not limitation, cancers such as lung cancer, NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer), oat-cell cancer, bone cancer, pancreatic cancer, skin cancer, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, cancer of the head and neck, cutaneous or intraocular melanoma, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, colo-rectal cancer, cancer of the anal region, stomach cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, gynecologic tumors (e.g., uterine sarcomas, carcinoma of the fallopian tubes, carcinoma of the endometrium, carcinoma of the cervix, carcinoma of the vagina or carcinoma of the vulva), Hodgkin's Disease, hepatocellular cancer, cancer of the esophagus, cancer of the small intestine, cancer of the endocrine system (e.g., cancer of the thyroid, pancreas, parathyroid or adrenal glands), sarcomas of soft tissues, cancer of the urethra, cancer of the penis, prostate cancer (particularly hormone-refractory), chronic or acute leukemia, solid tumors of childhood, hypereosinophilia, lymphocytic lymphomas, cancer of the bladder, cancer of the kidney or ureter (e.g., renal cell carcinoma, carcinoma of the renal pelvis), pediatric malignancy, neoplasms of the central nervous system (e.g., primary CNS lymphoma, spinal axis tumors, medulloblastoma, brain stem gliomas or pituitary adenomas), Barrett's esophagus (pre-malignant syndrome), neoplastic cutaneous disease, psoriasis, mycoses fungoides, and benign prostatic hypertrophy, diabetes related diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal ischemia, and retinal neovascularization, hepatic cirrhosis, angiogenesis, cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis, immunological disease such as autoimmune disease and renal disease.

Step 1 :
[00266] To a solution of 115 (0.150g, 0.314mmol.) and 121 (0.049g, 0.314mmol) in a sealed tube was dissolved acetonitrile (7mL) and then CS2CO3 (0.204g, 0.628mmol) was charged. The resuling RM was degassed for 15min. To this RM was added Pd(dppf)Cl2 DCM (0.012g, 0.0157mmol) and degassed again for 15min. The resulting RM was stirred for 2hr at 90°C. After 4hr, TLC monitoring confirmed the consumption of SMs and the RM was cooled to rt and diluted with DCM (lOOmL) and filtered through celite. The resulting crude material was purified via silica gel chromatography using a gradient of 5% ethyl acetate in hexane to afford compound 122.
Step 2:
[00267] A solution of 122 (O. lOOg, 0.210mmol) and 22 (0.027g, 0.210mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (5mL) in a sealed tube. To this RM, CS2CO3 (0.137 g, 0.421mmol) was added and degassed for 15min. The catalyst Pd(PPh3)4 (0.012g, O.OlOmmol) was added and degassed again for 15min. The resulting RM was stirred overnight at 90°C. After TLC showed completion of changes from the SM, the RM was allowed to cool to rt. DCM (lOOmL) was added and filtered through celite. The resulting oil was purified via silica gel chromatography at a gradient of 10% ethyl acetate: hexane to afford compound 123.
Step 3: [00268] To Compound 123 (0.050g, 0.104mmol) in MeOH (lOmL) and H20 (5mL) was added K2C03 (0.035g, 0.260mmol) and the RM stirred overnight at 70°C. After completion of the reaction from TLC, the resulting contents were evaporated of methanol completely and diluted with DCM (50mL) followed by water wash for two times and the organic layer was dried with Na2S04 and evaporated. The resulting crude was purified via silica gel
chromatography using a gradient of 25% ethyl acetate: hexane to afford compound 124.

IN VITRO INHIBITION ASSAY SIK2 Kinase assay
[00359] Procedure: Enzyme was incubated with substrate peptide in reaction buffer in the presence and absence of test compounds or Staurosporine. All additions were done on ice, followed by the addition of ATP mix. Wells were uniformly mixed using an Eppendorff plate shaker and incubated at 30°C for 20min, and stopped by the addition of 5μί of 3% phosphoric acid. Volume was increased to ΙΟΟμΙ, by adding 0.8% phosphoric acid which was then transferred to PC filter mats (Millipore), pre-equilibrated with 70% ethanol and water. Plates were washed thrice with ΙΟΟμΙ, 0.8% phosphoric acid and dried for an hour at 60°C. ΙΟΟμΙ, scintillation fluid was added into each well and reading taken in Perkin Elmer TOPCOU T beta counter. The data analysis was performed by averaging the duplicate top count readings for each standard, negative, positive control (enzyme control) and samples and subtracting the average negative control from each reading which results in corrected values. A validation EC50 curve was generated by plotting CPM for each Staurosporine concentration on y-axis against the Log concentration of Staurosporine (nM) on the x-axis followed by a best fit curve through the points.

Briefly, specific kinase/substrate pairs along with required cofactors were prepared in reaction buffer; 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 10 mMmgC12, 1 mM EGTA, 0.02% Brij35, 0.02mg/ml BSA, 0.1 mM a3V04, 2 mM DTT, 1% DMSO. Compounds were delivered into the reaction, followed ~20min later by addition of a mixture of ATP (Sigma) and 33P ATP (PerkinElmer) to a final concentration of 10 μΜ. Reactions were carried out at 25 °C for 120 min, followed by spotting of the reactions onto P81 ion exchange filter paper (Whatman). Unbound phosphate was removed by extensive washing of filters in 0.75% phosphoric acid. After subtraction of background derived from control reactions containing inactive enzyme, kinase activity data were expressed as the percent remaining kinase activity in test samples compared to vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide) reactions. IC50 values and curve fits were obtained using Prism (GraphPad Software). Kinome tree representations were prepared using Kinome Mapper

In the SKOv3 model, the proliferation index for animals treated with vehicle, IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine and IH-Pyrazolo [3, 4-b] pyridine derivatives alone and in combination with paclitaxel and monitor the proliferative indices. Further to gain additional insight into downstream effects of IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine and IH-Pyrazolo [3, 4-b] pyridine derivatives, we will conduct the expression profile studies on SKOv3, OVCAR-3, ΗΕΥ tumors harvested from either vehicle- or IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine and lH-Pyrazolo [3, 4-b] pyridine derivatives treated animals.
IN VIVO MODELS OF SIK2
[00371] SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells injected sub-cutaneous into 32 female nu/nu mice of approximately and four groups of 8 mice observed with twice weekly measurements and weekly weights. Treatment with SIK2 inhibitors when progressive growth is observed at 7-14 days. In separate experiments, each of two SIK2 inhibitors IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine derivatives delivered daily by gavage in 3 different concentrations (20, 40 and 80mg/kg) in a volume of 2 mL. Vehicle will be administered for 4th group by gavage. When the control xenografts have grown to 1.5 cm in diameter, all mice will be sacrificed, tumors weighed and tumor tissue cryopreserved and fixed for routine and EM studies and the duration of time required ~ 4 to 6 weeks. The IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine compounds had significant antitumor effects as a single agent over combination with taxol.
[00372] Efficacy of IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine derivatives in nu/nu SKOv3 xenograft mice: We examined the growth-inhibitory effect of IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine derivatives in- vivo employing an i.p. xenograft model in which nu/nu mice were inoculated i.p. with sensitive cell line SKOv3 cells. One week after inoculation, mice were randomized into six treatment groups receiving vehicle, IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine derivatives 30, 60mg/kg, taxol 10 mg/kg and IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine plus taxol. Drug treatment was well tolerated except i.p. treatment second group, with no apparent toxicity throughout the study. At the end of an experiment, all mice were sacrificed for tumor volume, weight and each mice examined and recorded at autopsy. The two IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine compounds and taxol groups all inhibited the abdominal tumor growth and tumor cell dissemination (reduced tumor numbers) (Figure 5a-c). Taken together, these findings indicates that two IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine compounds, taxol had significant antitumor effects and compound as a single agent with the ability not only to inhibit ovarian tumor growth, but also inhibits dissemination of tumor cells in vivo.
[00373] The effect of IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine compounds on SKOv3 induced orthotopic murine model: Dose-finding experiments initiated by injecting SKOV3ipl (SKOV3ipl cells were collected from cultures using either 0.25% trypsin-EDTA (Life
Technologies) on the cell line) tumor cells i.p. (2.5 x 105) into athymic female mice. 19 days after tumor cell orthotopic inoculation and when i.p. tumors were palpable, then the mice randomized into 6 dosage groups: 0 mg (vehicle alone, group 1), 20 and 40 mg/kg (groups 2, 3) received IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine compound i.p QD for 3 days (M/W/F), 60 and 80 mg/kg (groups 4, 5) received IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine compound p.o BID for 3 days (M/W/F) and 100 mg/kg group received IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine compound +Taxol p.o BID for 3 days (M/W/F). BID (twice daily doses) of inhibitor or vehicle were administered by p.o 12 h apart and the treatment continued until the vehicle-treated animals showed significant tumor burden (for a total of 4 to 6 weeks) and terminate the study at the end of 4 or 6th week and sacrifice animals (mice were sacrificed at 24, 48, and 72 h after the final i.p/p.o) and tumors were harvested for tumor growth inhibition percent and immunohistochemistry to see the effect of each animal in the group and all tumor nodules were collected, counted, and weighed at necropsy. In order to establish the optimal dose and frequency of dosing to effectively inhibit SIK2 in-vivo, these dose-finding experimental samples from orthotopic murine models and using functional assay we at first investigated the SIK2 expression profiling in control group mice and inhibition of phosphorylation of SIK2 by IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3- b] pyridine compound and Taxol. Additionally, we performed quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunocytology experiments to identify overexpression of SIK2 in control groups against treatment groups along with SIK2 inhibition of transcription factor CREB via phosphorylation of its cofactor TORC2/CRTC2 as a biological indicator of SIK2 kinase activity. Further characterized the effects of SIK2 kinase inhibition on tumor growth inhibition, examined the tumor nodule formation. IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine compound, taxol had significant antitumor effects and compound as a single agent, with the ability not only to inhibit ovarian tumor growth, but also inhibits dissemination of tumor cells in vivo.
[00374] The Effect of IH-Pyrrolo [2, 3-b] pyridine compound on OVCAR-3 induced orthotopic murine model: Dose-finding experiments initiated by injecting OVCAR-3 (OVCAR-3 cells were collected from cultures using either 0.1% EDTA (Life Technologies) on the cell line) tumor cells i.p. (2.5 x 105) into athymic female mice. Similar study design protocols and analysis performed as described under SKOv3 orthotopic murine experiments.
