## Background
This application is a US national phase of International Application No. PCT/GB2012/051992 filed on Aug. 15, 2012, which claims priority to Great Britain Patent Application No. 1114212.2 filed on Aug. 18, 2011, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates to a class of fused pyrimidine derivatives, and to their use in therapy. More particularly, the present invention provides monocyclic or bicyclic diamine-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and isothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives. These compounds are of benefit as pharmaceutical agents, especially in the treatment of adverse inflammatory, autoimmune and oncological disorders, in the treatment of viral diseases, and in the management of organ and cell transplant rejection.
In addition, the compounds in accordance with the present invention may be beneficial as pharmacological standards for use in the development of new biological tests and in the search for new pharmacological agents. Thus, the compounds of this invention may be useful as radioligands in assays for detecting pharmacologically active compounds.
WO 2010/103130 describes a family of oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine, thiazolo[5,4-d]-pyrimidine, thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and purine derivatives that are active in a range of assays, including the Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR) test, and are stated to be effective for the treatment of immune and auto-immune disorders, and organ and cell transplant rejection. Copending international patent application PCT/EP2011/058276, published on 1 Dec. 2011 as WO 2011/147753, discloses the same family of compounds as having significant antiviral activity. Furthermore, copending international patent application PCT/IB2011/002248, published on 22 Mar. 2012 as WO 2012/035423 (claiming priority from GB patent application 1015411.0), discloses the same family of compounds as having significant anticancer activity.
None of the prior art available to date, however, discloses or suggests the precise structural class of fused pyrimidine derivatives as provided by the present invention.
The compounds in accordance with the present invention are active as inhibitors when subjected to the Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR) test. The MLR test is predictive of immunosuppression or immunomodulation. Thus, when subjected to the MLR test, the compounds of the present invention display an IC50 value of 10 μM or less, generally of 5 μM or less, usually of 2 μM or less, typically of 1 μM or less, suitably of 500 nM or less, ideally of 100 nM or less, and preferably of 20 nM or less (the skilled person will appreciate that a lower IC50 figure denotes a more active compound).

Oncological disorders, which may be acute or chronic, include proliferative disorders, especially cancer, in animals, including mammals, especially humans. Particular categories of cancer include haematological malignancy (including leukaemia and lymphoma) and non-haematological malignancy (including solid tumour cancer, sarcoma, meningioma, glioblastoma multiforme, neuroblastoma, melanoma, gastric carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma). Chronic leukaemia may be myeloid or lymphoid. Varieties of leukaemia include lymphoblastic T cell leukaemia, chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML), chronic lymphocytic/lymphoid leukaemia (CLL), hairy-cell leukaemia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic neutrophilic leukaemia, acute lymphoblastic T cell leukaemia, plasmacytoma, immunoblastic large cell leukaemia, mantle cell leukaemia, multiple myeloma, acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia, acute megakaryocytic leukaemia, promyelocytic leukaemia and erythroleukaemia. Varieties of lymphoma include malignant lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, lymphoblastic T cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, MALT1 lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma. Varieties of non-haematological malignancy include cancer of the prostate, lung, breast, rectum, colon, lymph node, bladder, kidney, pancreas, liver, ovary, uterus, cervix, brain, skin, bone, stomach and muscle.

Various genera within the Retroviridae family include Alpharetrovirus, Betaretrovirus, Gammaretrovirus, Deltaretrovirus, Epsilonretrovirus, Lentivirus and Spumavirus. Members of the Lentivirus genus include human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) and human immunodeficiency virus 2 (HIV-2). Various genera within the Flaviviridae family include Flavivirus, Pestivirus, Hepacivirus and Hepatitis G Virus. Members of the Flavivirus genus include Dengue fever virus, yellow fever virus, West Nile encephalitis virus and Japanese encephalitis virus. Members of the Pestivirus genus include bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), classical swine fever virus and border disease virus 2 (BDV-2). Members of the Hepacivirus genus include hepatitis C virus (HCV). Members of the Hepatitis G Virus genus include hepatitis G virus.

Organ transplant rejection includes the rejection of transplanted or grafted organs or cells (both allografts and xenografts), including graft-versus-host reaction disease. The term “organ” as used herein means all organs or parts of organs in mammals, particularly humans, including kidney, lung, bone marrow, hair, cornea, eye (vitreous), heart, heart valve, liver, pancreas, blood vessel, skin, muscle, bone, intestine and stomach. The term “rejection” as used herein means all reactions of the recipient body or the transplanted organ which ultimately lead to cell or tissue death in the transplanted organ, or adversely affect the functional ability and viability of the transplanted organ or the recipient. In particular, this means acute and chronic rejection reactions.
Cell transplant rejection includes the rejection of cell transplants and xenotransplantation. The major hurdle for xenotransplantation is that even before the T lymphocytes (responsible for the rejection of allografts) are activated, the innate immune system (especially T-independent B lymphocytes and macrophages) is activated. This provokes two types of severe and early acute rejection, referred to as hyperacute rejection and vascular rejection respectively. Conventional immunosuppressant drugs, including cyclosporine A, are ineffective in xenotransplantation. The compounds in accordance with the present invention are not liable to this drawback. The ability of the compounds of this invention to suppress T-independent xeno-antibody production as well as macrophage activation may be demonstrated by their ability to prevent xenograft rejection in athymic, T-deficient mice receiving xenogenic hamster-heart grafts.
The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a compound in accordance with the invention as described above, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
Pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention may take a form suitable for oral, buccal, parenteral, nasal, topical, ophthalmic or rectal administration, or a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation.
For oral administration, the pharmaceutical compositions may take the form of, for example, tablets, lozenges or capsules prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binding agents (e.g. pregelatinised maize starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose); fillers (e.g. lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium hydrogenphosphate); lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc or silica); disintegrants (e.g. potato starch or sodium glycollate); or wetting agents (e.g. sodium lauryl sulphate). The tablets may be coated by methods well known in the art. Liquid preparations for oral administration may take the form of, for example, solutions, syrups or suspensions, or they may be presented as a dry product for constitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may be prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents, emulsifying agents, non-aqueous vehicles or preservatives. The preparations may also contain buffer salts, flavouring agents, colouring agents or sweetening agents, as appropriate.
Preparations for oral administration may be suitably formulated to give controlled release of the active compound.
For buccal administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in conventional manner.
The compounds of formula (I) may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, e.g. by bolus injection or infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g. in glass ampoules or multi-dose containers, e.g. glass vials. The compositions for injection may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilising, preserving and/or dispersing agents.

Where a mixture of products is obtained from any of the processes described above for the preparation of compounds according to the invention, the desired product can be separated therefrom at an appropriate stage by conventional methods such as preparative HPLC; or column chromatography utilising, for example, silica and/or alumina in conjunction with an appropriate solvent system.
Where the above-described processes for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention give rise to mixtures of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques. In particular, where it is desired to obtain a particular enantiomer of a compound of formula (I) this may be produced from a corresponding mixture of enantiomers using any suitable conventional procedure for resolving enantiomers. Thus, for example, diastereomeric derivatives, e.g. salts, may be produced by reaction of a mixture of enantiomers of formula (I), e.g. a racemate, and an appropriate chiral compound, e.g. a chiral base. The diastereomers may then be separated by any convenient means, for example by crystallisation, and the desired enantiomer recovered, e.g. by treatment with an acid in the instance where the diastereomer is a salt. In another resolution process a racemate of formula (I) may be separated using chiral HPLC. Moreover, if desired, a particular enantiomer may be obtained by using an appropriate chiral intermediate in one of the processes described above. Alternatively, a particular enantiomer may be obtained by performing an enantiomer-specific enzymatic biotransformation, e.g. an ester hydrolysis using an esterase, and then purifying only the enantiomerically pure hydrolysed acid from the unreacted ester antipode. Chromatography, recrystallisation and other conventional separation procedures may also be used with intermediates or final products where it is desired to obtain a particular geometric isomer of the invention.
During any of the above synthetic sequences it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J. F. W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973; and T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 3rd edition, 1999. The protecting groups may be removed at any convenient subsequent stage utilising methods known from the art.

The Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR) Test
Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from buffy coats, obtained from healthy blood donors by Ficoll (Lymphoprep, Axis-Shield PoC AS, Oslo, Norway) density-gradient centrifugation. The cells at the Ficoll-plasma interface were washed three times and used as “Responder” cells. RPMI 1788 (ATCC, N° CCL-156) cells were treated with mitomycin C (Kyowa, Nycomed, Brussels, Belgium) and used as “Stimulator” cells. Responder cells (0.12×106), Stimulator cells (0.045×106) and compounds (in different concentrations) were cocultured for 6 days in RPMI 1640 medium (BioWhittaker, Lonza, Belgium) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 100 U/ml Geneticin (Gibco, LifeTechnologies, UK). Cells were cultured in triplicate in flat-bottomed 96-well microtiter tissue culture plates (TTP, Switzerland). After 5 days, cells were pulsed with 1 μCi of methyl-3H thymidine (MP Biomedicals, USA), harvested 18 h later on glass filter paper and counted. Proliferation values were expressed as counts per minute (cpm), and converted to % inhibition with respect to a blank MLR test (identical but without added compound). The IC50 was determined from a graph with at least four points, each derived from the mean of 2 experiments. The IC50 value represents the lowest concentration of test compound (expressed in μM) that resulted in a 50% inhibition of the MLR.
The compounds of the accompanying Examples were all found to generate IC50 values in the MLR test of 10 μM or better.
