FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention generally relates to the field of pharmaceutical agents and, specifically to compounds, intermediates and pharmaceutical compositions useful for treating raf protein kinase-mediated diseases, and methods for treating raf-mediated diseases.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cancer is one of the most widespread diseases of mankind and a major cause of death worldwide. In an effort to find an effective treatment or a cure for one or more of the many different types of cancers and cancer disease, over the last couple of decades, numerous groups have invested a tremendous amount of time, effort and financial resources. However, to date, of the available cancer treatments and therapies, only a few offer any considerable degree of success.
Cancer is caused in many cases by the effects of oncoproteins. These are proteins having different structures as compared to their counterpart proteins in normal, healthy organisms. These oncoproteins are capable of transforming a normal cell into an uncontrollable, proliferating cell i.e., a cancerous cell, leading to the formation and growth of cancerous tumors. Oncoproteins are formed and expressed in an organism as a product of onco-genes, whose nucleotides sequence encodes the oncoprotein. Oncogenes occur as a result of a mutation of a “normal”, healthy gene, typically referred to as the “proto-oncogene.” Such mutations in proto-oncogenes produce protein products, which alter the normal programs of cell proliferation, differentiation and death. In a human cancer cell, one cell-signaling pathway in in which a proto-oncogene is mutated is the RAS-RAF-MEK-ER MAP kinase-signaling pathway. This pathway has been found to mediate cellular responses to growth signals. (Peyssonnaux et al., Biol. Cell, 93:53-62 (2001)).
The cell-signaling pathway involves the binding of a RAS substrate to activate a Raf kinase enzyme, which in turn activates the MEK kinase and so forth. There are three cytoplasmic serine/threonine RAF kinase proteins, which are polypeptides encoded by the nucleotide sequence of three Raf genes. The three Raf proteins found in mammals are A-Raf, B-Raf and C-Raf (C-raf is also known as Raf-1). (Biol. Cell, 93:53-62 (2001)). One feature in common among the three proteins is that they all share highly conserved regions, called CR1, CR2 and CR3. The CR1 domain is rich in cysteine residues, while the CR2 region contains many serines and threonine residues. The CR3 domain contains the kinase activity. The three naturally occurring Raf proteins also feature size differences. On average, B-raf proteins are larger than the other two, having a molecular weight of about 90 kDa, while the A-raf and C-raf have an average molecular weight of about 70 kDa. All three RAF proteins function by phosphorylating MEK-1/2, which in turn phosphorylates Erk-1/2, thereby activating the MEK-ERK MAP kinase portion of the signaling pathway described above. Structure, activity and function of the members of the Raf kinase family are further described in detail in Morrison and Cutler, Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 9:174-179 (1997) and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,618,670, 5,156,841, and 6,566,581.
The B-raf protein has been found to be much more capable, than the A-raf and C-raf proteins, of phosphorylating the MEK-1 and MEK-2 proteins. More specifically, the B-raf phosphorylating activity is about 500× stronger than that of A-raf and about 10x stronger than that of C-raf. (Mol. Cell Biol.,15 (1997)). Accordingly, B-raf has become a potential target for regulating the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK-MAP signaling pathway and, in turn, regulating programmed cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell death.
B-raf kinase is commonly activated by somatic point mutations in cancerous cells. For example, B-raf somatic missense mutations occur in about 66% of malignant melanomas and at lower frequency in a wide range of human cancers. B-raf mutations have been found in 28 primary cancers/STC's, including 6 of 9 primary melanomas, 12 of 15 melanoma STC's, 4 of 33 colorectal carcinomas, 5 or 35 ovarian neoplasms, and 1 of 182 sarcomas. Although B-raf mutations occur in a wide range of cancers, there is a trend towards the occurance of mutations in cancer types in which a substantial portion of cases are known to harbor RAS mutations (for example, malignant melanomas, colorectal cancer, and borderline ovarian cancers). Mutated B-raf proteins have elevated kinase activity and are transforming in NIH3T3 cells. All mutations of B-raf have been found to be within the kinase domain, with a single substitution (V600E) accounting for about 80% of the mutated B-raf proteins discovered to date. It is worth noting that Ras function is not required for the growth of cancer cell lines with the V599E mutation. The high frequency of B-raf mutations in melanomas and the relative lack of effective therapies for advanced stages of this disease suggest that inhibition of wild-type B-raf and/or mutated B-raf activity may provide new therapeutic opportunities for metastatic and/or malignant melanomas.
Various groups have proposed different classes of compounds to generally modulate, or specifically inhibit, Raf kinase activity, for use to treat Raf-mediated disorders. For example, the PCT publication, WO 99/32106, describes substituted heterocyclic ureas for the inhibition of Raf kinase, WO 03/047523, describes methods for treating cancers resulting from the up-regulation of the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway using Gleevec® and “Gleevec®-like” compounds, WO 00/42012, describes delta-carboxyaryl substituted diphenyl ureas as Raf kinase inhibitors, WO 01/38324, describes substituted heteroaryl compounds for the inhibition of B-Raf kinase, U.S. Publication No. 2001/006975, describes methods of treating tumors mediated by raf kinase using substituted urea compounds, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,187,799, describes methods of treating tumors mediated by raf kinase using aryl urea compounds.

Definitions
The following definitions should assist in understanding the invention described herein.
The terms “agonist” and “agonistic” when used herein refer to or describe a molecule which is capable of, directly or indirectly, substantially inducing, promoting or enhancing biological activity of a biological molecule, such as an enzyme or receptor, including B-raf kinase.
The term “comprising” is meant to be open ended, including the indicated component(s), but not excluding other elements.
The term “H” denotes a single hydrogen atom. This radical may be attached, for example, to an oxygen atom to form a hydroxyl radical.
The term “Cα-βalkyl”, when used either alone or within other terms such as “haloalkyl” and “alkylamino”, embraces linear or branched radicals having α to β number of carbon atoms (such as C1-C10). The term “alkyl” radicals include “lower alkyl” radicals having one to about six carbon atoms.

A method for making intermediates 8, which are useful for making various of the compounds of Formulas I-IV (where Z is a pyridine ring and Z′ is phenyl), is described in scheme 1. As shown, a ketone-protected amine 1 can be condensed with a benzaldehyde 2 to form the corresponding imine 3. Imine 3 can be reduced with known reducing reagents, such as NaBH4, under suitable comditions to provide the corresponding amine adduct 4. The amino functionality of compound 4 may be protected with a suitable protecting group, such as a tosylate as shown, under suitable conditions to provide the protected amine compound 5. Compound 5 can be cyclized by treatment with a suitable acid, such as conc. H2SO4, which deprotects the amine and carbonyl groups in situ to yield an isoquinoline compound 6. The isoquinoline compound 6 may be nitrated using KNO3 under known acidic conditions to form the nitro-compound 7. As shown, a nitro-substituted isoquinoline 7 can be halogenated with a chlorine atom by known methods, such as with an oxidant (mCPBA) in the presence of a known chlorinating reagent such as POC13, to form the chloro-adduct compound 8a. The chloring of compound 8a can subsequently be converte to the corresponding ketone using conventional methods, such as with aqueous acidic conditions, as shown above in Scheme 1, to yield the corresponding, useful nitro-lactam intermediate 8.




A method for making a compound 12 of Formulas I-IV (where Z is a pyridine ring, Z′ is phenyl, R1 is an amino-linked pyrimidyl-pyridine wherein X is —NH—, A1a is N and A2 and A3 are both CH, and R3 is —NR10R11 wherein R10 is H and R11 is an aryl group) is described in scheme 2. For the purposes of the exemplary compounds described hereinbelow, this method or general synthetic strategy is designated as Method A. As shown, the chlorine of compound 8a can be displaced by an aryl amine under suitable conditions to generate an aryl amine-linked isoquinoline 9. The nitro group of compound 9 can be reduced to compound 10 using traditional methods, such as by hydrogenation in the presence of a suitable palladium catalyst as shown in scheme 2 above. The amino functionality of compound 10 may be reacted with a desirably substituted chloro-pyridine 11 to provide the final compound 12, of Formula I, II, III or IV.




A method for making a compound 16 of Formulas I-IV (where Z is a pyridine ring, Z′ is phenyl, R1 is 2-amino-methyl quinazoline wherein A1 is N and A2 and A3 are both CH, and R3 is —NR10R11 wherein R10 is H and R11 is an aryl group) is described in Scheme 3. For the purposes of the exemplary compounds described hereinbelow, this method or general synthetic strategy is designated as Method B. As shown, the nitro group of compound 8 can be reduced by known methods, such as by iron metal in the presence of a suitable acid, such as acetic acid, or simply by hydrogenation in the presence of an acid, such as acetic acid as shown to form the corresponding amino compound 8b. The amino group of compound 8b can be converted to the corresponding iodine compound 8c by first quaternizing the amine and displacing it with an iodine from a suitable source such as KI, as shown in Scheme 3. The amino group of compound 8b can be converted to the corresponding iodine compound 8c by first converting the amine to a quaternary amine and displacing it with an iodine atom from a suitable source such as KI, as shown in Scheme 3. The iodinated compound 8c can be reacted with desired boronic acids, under suitable Suzuki conditions or under Suzuki-like conditions to form the coupled intermediate 14. The carbonyl of compound 14 can be converted to the corresponding chloride compound 15, using POCl3, which chlorine can then be displaced by an aryl amine under suitable conditions to generate an aryl amine-linked isoquinoline final compound 16.
The Suzuki method is a reaction using a borane reagent, such as a dioxaborolane intermediate 13 and a suitable leaving group containing reagent, such as the 6-LG-Z-Z′ ring compound 8c (LG=X═I, Br, Cl). As appreciated to one of ordinary skill in the art, Suzuki reactions also use palladium as a catalyst, in the presence of a suitable base, such as a carbonate base, bicarbonate or an acetate base, in a suitable solvent, such as toluene, acetonitrile, DMF or an aqueous-organic solvent combination (such as dioxanes/water) or a biphasic system of solvents (such as toluene/aq. NaCO3). Suitable palladium reagents include Pd(PPh3)4, Pd(OAc)2 or Pd(dppf)Cl2. Where LG is a halide, the halide may be an iodide, a bromide or even a chloride (chloro-pyridyl or chloro-picolinyl B rings undergo suzuki reactions in the presence of Pd(OAc)2). In addition, a corresponding halo intermediate, the C-D ring piece or the B-A ring piece, may be converted to the borane, such as the dioxaborolane as described in Scheme 6. Other LGs are also suitable. For example, Suzuki couplings are known to occur with a sulfonate, such as trifluoromethanesulfonate, as the leaving group.
In this fashion, final compounds 16 of Formuals I-IV, wherein Z is an unsubstituted pyridine ring, R1 is an optionally substituted isoquinoline (A1, A2 and A3 are all CH), optionally substituted quinazoline (as shown above), or optionally substituted aza-isoquinoline or aza-quinazoline (wherein A1 is either N or CH and one of A2 and A3 is N while the other of A2 and A3 is CH), can be made.

For the purposes of the exemplary compounds described hereinbelow, this method or general synthetic strategy is designated as Method C. As shown, an acetamido-substituted benzoic acid 8 can be nitrated by known methods, such as with nitric acid, to form the corresponding nitro compound 18. The acetamido group of compound 8b can be converted to the corresponding iodine compound 18 can be converted to the corresponding amine 19 by treatment with a suitable acid, such as HCl, as shown in Scheme 4. Amine 19 can be converted to the corresponding iodo compound 20, by conventional methods, such as that described above in Scheme 3. The nitro group of compound 20 can be reduced by known methods, such as by iron metal in the presence of a suitable acid, such as acetic acid, to form the corresponding amino compound 21 (see Scheme 3). Amine compound 21 can be treated with an amine-aldehyde reagent 22 under suitable conditions, such as in a microwave, to form carbox-quinazoline 23. As described in Scheme 3 (compounds 14-26), the carbonyl of compound 23 can be converted to the chloride 24, which can be displaced to afford the aryl amine substituted iodo intermediate 25. The iodinated compound 25 can be reacted with desired boronic acids 13, under suitable Suzuki conditions or under Suzuki-like conditions as described in Scheme 3, to form the final compound 26.
The general method of scheme 3 (Method C), as shown, is not limited to preparing compounds of Formulas II and IIa alone, but may also be used to make other compounds within the scope of the present invention. For example, Method C may be used to prepare compounds of Formula I having the following R1 groups respectively: free 2-amino-quinazoline (A), 2-amido-aminoquinazolines (B), 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine connected at the 5-position (C), 3-NHMe-1H-indazoles connected at the 6-position (D), 3-amino-1-methyl-1H-indazoles connected at the 6-position (E), 3-NHMe-1-methyl-1H-indazoles connected at the 6-position (F), 3-methyl-1H-indazole connected via the 5-position (G) and 8-methyl-2-(methylamino)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one connected via the 8-position (H). The synthesis of the above-mentioned compounds is similar to that of compound 26 but using with a different boronic ester 13 in the final step. The exemplary R1 groups of Formula I are illustrated below.











A method for making a compound 32 of Formulas I-IV (where Z is a pyrazole ring, Z′ is phenyl, R1 is 2-amino-methyl quinazoline wherein A1 is N and A2 and A3 are both CH, and R3 is —NR10R11 wherein R10 is H and R11 is an aryl group) is described in scheme 5. For the purposes of the exemplary compounds described hereinbelow, this method or general synthetic strategy is designated as Method D. As shown, the bromide group of a methyl, fluoro, bromo-compound 27 can be converted to the corresponding cyano group by known methods, such as displacement by CuCn, NaCN or KCN, to form the corresponding cyano compound 28. Compound 28 can be iodinated under suitable conditions, such as with suitable strong bases and iodinating reagents, like LiTMP and iodine as described in Scheme 5 above. Compound 29 can be converted to the corresponding amino-benzopyrazole compound 30 by treatment with methylhydrazine. The amino compound 30 can be reacted with a desired boronic acid 13, as described in schemes 3 and 4 above, to form the coupled intermediate 31. The amine of compound 31 can then be functionalized, such as converted to an aryl amine 32 by treating with a desired aryl-halide (X is a suitable leaving group, such as a halogen).
In this fashion, final compounds 32 of Formulas I-IV, wherein Z is an substituted pyrazole ring, R1 is an optionally substituted isoquinoline (A1, A2 and A3 are all CH), optionally substituted quinazoline (as shown above), or optionally substituted aza-isoquinoline or aza-quinazoline (wherein A1 is either N or CH and one of A2 and A3 is N while the other of A2 and A3 is CH), can be made.

A method (alternative to the method of scheme 5) for making a compound 40 of Formulas I-IV (where Z is a pyrazole ring, Z′ is phenyl, R1 is 2-amino-methyl quinazoline wherein A1 is N and A2 and A3 are both CH, and R3 is —NR10R11 wherein R10 is H and R11 is an aryl group) is described in scheme 7. For the purposes of the exemplary compounds described hereinbelow, this method or general synthetic strategy is designated as Method F. As shown, the amino group of a amino, iodo-benzoic acid 36 can be converted to the corresponding fluoro group by known methods, such as displacement by a suitable fluoride source, to form the corresponding fluoro compound 37. The acid of compound 37 can be converted to the corresponding amide 38 under suitable conditions. For example, compound 38 may be made by coupling the acid 37 to an amine, such as an aryl amine as shown, under suitable amide bond forming conditions. Reagents commonly used to form amide bonds include, without limitation, BOP, HATU, TBTU, HOBT and the like, and such reactions may be run in the presence of a suitable base. Alternatively, the peptide bond may be formed via an acid chloride, or other suitable leaving group of the acid functionality. Such activating reagents are described below. Compounds 40 may be made from corresponding amides (as shown above), amidines, and thioamides (not shown), as appreciated by the skilled artisan.
Z-Z′ ring systems, generally designated and referred to throughout the specification as the “B” ring may be substituted with various substitutions including R11 ring systems, generally designated and referred to throughout the specification as the “A” ring system, by various amide bond forming methods mentioned in Scheme 7. To form an amide bond, an ester, a carbamate, a urea, and the like, each of the two starting materials must possess one or the other of an electrophilic (E+) and a nucleophile (Nu). The acid may be the E+ by activating it with a component “X”. X refers generally to a “leaving group” such as a halide (bromine, chlorine, iodine or fluorine), alkylsulfonate and other known groups (also see definitions herein). Nu− refers generally to a nucleophilic species such as a primary or secondary amine, an oxygen, a sulfur or a anionic carbon species—examples of nucleophiles include, without limitation, amines, hydroxides, alkoxides and the like. E+ refers generally to an electrophilic species, such as the carbon atom of a carbonyl, which is susceptible to nucleophilic attack or readily eliminates—examples of suitable electrophilic carbonyl species include, without limitation, acid halides, mixed anhydrides, aldehydes, carbamoyl-chlorides, sulfonyl chlorides, acids activated with activating reagents such as TBTU, HBTU, HATU, HOBT, BOP, PyBOP and carbodiimides (DCC, EDC and the like), and other electrophilic species including halides, isocyanates, daizonium ions and the like.
The coupling of rings B and A (not shown) can be brought about using various conventional methods. For example, an amide or a sulfonamide linkage where the Nu− is an amine can be made utilizing an amine on either the B or A rings and an acid chloride or sulfonyl chloride on the other of either the B or A rings. The reaction proceeds generally in the presence of a suitable solvent and/or base. Suitable solvents include, without limitation, generally non-nucleophilic, anhydrous solvents such as toluene, CH2Cl2, THF, DMF, DMSO, N,N-dimethylacetamide and the like, including solvent combinations thereof. The solvent may range in polarity, as appreciated by those skilled in the art. Suitable bases include, for example, tertiary amine bases such as DIEA, TEA, carbonate bases such as Na2CO3, K2CO3, Cs2CO3, hydrides such as NaH, KH, borohydrides, cyanoborohydrides and the like, alkoxides such as NaOCH3, and the like. The base itself may also serve as a solvent. The reaction may optionally be run neat, i.e., without any base and/or solvent. These coupling reactions are generally fast and conversion occurs typically in ambient conditions. However, depending upon the particular substrate, such reactions may require heat, as appreciated by those skilled in the art.
Similarly, carbamates where Nu− is an amine, anhydrides where Nu− is an oxygen, reverse amides where Nu− is an amine and E+ is an acid chloride, ureas, thioamides and thioureas where the respective carbonyl oxygen is a sulfur, thiocarbamates where the respective carbonyl oxygen and/or carbamate oxygen is a sulfur, and the like, can be made utilizing similar methods as described for the amide or sulfonamide bond above. While the above methods are so described, they are not exhaustive, and other methods for linking rings A and B together may be utilized as appreciated by those skilled in the art.
The iodo-benzamide compound 38 can be coupled to the desired R1 bicyclic ring via a Suzuki-type reaction conditions, as described here schemes 3 and 4. The coupled adduct 39 can be cyclized to form the final indazole compound 40 by conventional methods, such as conversion of the amide to the corresponding thioamide with a suitable reagent such as Lawesson's Reagent, and then treating the thioamide with hydrazine to form the desired indazole.
In this fashion, final compounds 40 of Formulas I-IV, wherein Z is an unsubstituted pyrazole ring, R1 is an optionally substituted isoquinoline (A1, A2 and A3 are all CH), optionally substituted quinazoline (as shown above), or optionally substituted aza-isoquinoline or aza-quinazoline (wherein A1 is either N or CH and one of A2 and A3 is N while the other of A2 and A3 is CH), can be made.

EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of 6-methyl-5-nitroisoquinoline
Step 1
4-Methyl benzaldehyde (1641 ml, 13878 mmol) and 2,2-dimethoxyethanamine (1497 ml, 13878 mmol) were added to a 12 L round bottomed flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, heating mantle, and Dean-Stark trap with condenser. (Note: The reaction exothermed with this addition immediately to 70° C.). The mixture was then gradually heated to 190° C. Water started to distill off vigorously around 105° C. The reaction was then azeotroped with toluene (400 mL). The Dean-Stark trap was replaced by a short path distillation apparatus to remove toluene more quickly. The crude product (2870 g, 100%) was used in the next step as is.
Step 2
The product from step 1 in a 12 L round bottomed flask equipped with a overhead stirrer and cooling condenser containing was treated with methanol (3.8 L). Sodium borohydride (511 g, 13.5 mol) was added in small portions (15 g at a time) whilst maintaining an internal reaction temperature between about 25-40° C. with an ice bath. After all of the sodium borohydride had been added, the reaction was stirred over night at RT. The reaction was quenched using saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (12 L) and washed with water (15 L), brine (11 L) and concentrated to give a yellow oil (2872 g, 100%).
Step 3
A portion of the product (yellow oil) from Step 2 (1001 g, 4783 mmol) was added to a 22 L round bottomed flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer and a nitrogen inlet. Triethylamine (798 mL, 5740 mmol) in dichloromethane (200 mL) was added and the mixture placed in an ice bath. p-Toluenesulfonyl chloride (912 g, 4783 mmol) was added in portions maintaining a temperature below 7° C. The reaction was then stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered through a flitted funnel to remove the bulk of the ammonium salts. The filtrate was transferred to a 50 L reactor and washed with water (2×10 L), 1 N NaOH solution (1×10 L), and brine (2×8 L), and concentrated. The residue was then treated with ether (12 L), stirred vigorously, and filtered through a flitted funnel to remove more salts. The filtrate was then concentrated to give the tosylate product (1738 g, 100%).
Step 4
Sulfuric acid (7699 mL, 144441 mmol) was added to a 10 L jacketed reactor at room temperature and stirred. Product from Step 3 (1500 g, 4127 mmol) was added portionwise maintaining the temperature between 20-32° C. When addition was complete, a small aliquot was removed every 15 min, diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate, extracted with EtOAc and analyzed by HPLC. When reaction completion was confirmed, the reaction flask was cooled to −5° C. and potassium nitrate (1252 g, 12381 mmol) was added using a motorized solid addition funnel (10 rpm) adding at 100 g/h. After 850 g had been added, the remaining 400 g was added at a much higher rate (over 30 mins). The reaction was maintained below 5° C. The temperature was then raised to about 11° C. and progress monitored by HPLC. Completion was confirmed after 4 h. The reaction was then quenched by pumping over to a larger reactor (30 L) at 0° C. containing ice/water (15 L). The reaction was stirred over night at room temperature—a significant quantity of foam formed. The mixture was transferred to another vessel (20 L bottle) to be pumped over a large fine flitted funnel to remove the foamy material. The acidic solution was basified using 10 N NaOH (23 L) in 3 batches maintaining a temperature below 25° C. Each batch was extracted with DCM (7 L) and washed with brine (2 L) and water (7 L).

The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed (2×) with an aqueous saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, then with water and then brine. The organic layer was dried with sodium sulfate and then purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a gradient of 20 to 80% EtOAc in hexanes. The clean fractions were combined and concentrated under vacuum to give a yellow film. The film was triturated with a 1:1 mixture of ether and hexanes. This resulted in the formation of an off-white solid which was collected by filtration and dried in a vacuum oven to give 6-(2,7-dimethyl-4-(3-(trifluoro-methoxy)phenylamino)quinazolin-8-yl)-N-methylquinazolin-2-amine (0.212 g, 79%). MS (M+H)+ 491.

As can be appreciated by the skilled artisan, the above synthetic schemes and representative examples are not intended to comprise a comprehensive list of all means by which the compounds described and claimed in this application may be synthesized. Further methods will be evident to those of ordinary skill in the art. Additionally, the various synthetic steps described above may be performed in an alternate sequence or order to give the desired compounds.
For example, in these procedures, the steps may be preceded, or followed, by additional protection/deprotection steps as necessary. Particularly, if one or more functional groups, for example carboxy, hydroxy, amino, or mercapto groups, are or need to be protected in preparing the compounds of the invention, because they are not intended to take part in a specific reaction or chemical transformation, various known conventional protecting groups may be used. For example, protecting groups typically utilized in the synthesis of natural and synthetic compounds, including peptides, nucleic acids, derivatives thereof and sugars, having multiple reactive centers, chiral centers and other sites potentially susceptible to the reaction reagents and/or conditions, may be used.
The protecting groups may already be present in precursors and should protect the functional groups concerned against unwanted secondary reactions, such as acylations, etherifications, esterifications, oxidations, solvolysis, and similar reactions. It is a characteristic of protecting groups that they readily lend themselves, i.e. without undesired secondary reactions, to removal, typically accomplished by solvolysis, reduction, photolysis or other methods of removal such as by enzyme activity, under conditions analogous to physiological conditions. It should also be appreciated that the protecting groups should not be present in the end-products. The specialist knows, or can easily establish, which protecting groups are suitable with the reactions described herein.
Salts of a compound of the invention having a salt-forming group may be prepared in a conventional manner or manner known to persons skilled in the art. For example, acid addition salts of compounds of the invention may be obtained by treatment with an acid or with a suitable anion exchange reagent. A salt with two acid molecules (for example a dihalogenide) may also be converted into a salt with one acid molecule per compound (for example a monohalogenide); this may be done by heating to a melt, or for example by heating as a solid under a high vacuum at elevated temperature, for example from 50° C. to 170° C., one molecule of the acid being expelled per molecule of the compound.
Acid salts can usually be converted to free-base compounds, e.g. by treating the salt with suitable basic agents, for example with alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, or alkali metal hydroxides, typically potassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide. Exemplary salt forms and their preparation are described herein in the Definition section of the application.
All synthetic procedures described herein can be carried out under known reaction conditions, advantageously under those described herein, either in the absence or in the presence (usually) of solvents or diluents. As appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, the solvents should be inert with respect to, and should be able to dissolve, the starting materials and other reagents used. Solvents should be able to partially or wholly solubilize the reactants in the absence or presence of catalysts, condensing agents or neutralizing agents, for example ion exchangers, typically cation exchangers for example in the H+ form. The ability of the solvent to allow and/or influence the progress or rate of the reaction is generally dependant on the type and properties of the solvent(s), the reaction conditions including temperature, pressure, atmospheric conditions such as in an inert atmosphere under argon or nitrogen, and concentration, and of the reactants themselves.
Suitable solvents for conducting reactions to synthesize compounds of the invention include, without limitation, water; esters, including lower alkyl-lower alkanoates, e.g., EtOAc; ethers including aliphatic ethers, e.g., Et2O and ethylene glycol dimethylether or cyclic ethers, e.g., THF; liquid aromatic hydrocarbons, including benzene, toluene and xylene; alcohols, including MeOH, EtOH, 1-propanol, IPOH, n- and t-butanol; nitriles including CH3CN; halogenated hydrocarbons, including CH2Cl2, CHCl3 and CCl4; acid amides including DMF; sulfoxides, including DMSO; bases, including heterocyclic nitrogen bases, e.g. pyridine; carboxylic acids, including lower alkanecarboxylic acids, e.g., AcOH; inorganic acids including HCl, HBr, HF, H2SO4 and the like; carboxylic acid anhydrides, including lower alkane acid anhydrides, e.g., acetic anhydride; cyclic, linear, or branched hydrocarbons, including cyclohexane, hexane, pentane, isopentane and the like, and mixtures of these solvents, such as purely organic solvent combinations, or water-containing solvent combinations e.g., aqueous solutions. These solvents and solvent mixtures may also be used in “working-up” the reaction as well as in processing the reaction and/or isolating the reaction product(s), such as in chromatography.
Purification methods are known in the art and include, for example, crystallization, chromatography (liquid and gas phase, and the like), extraction, distillation, trituration, reverse phase HPLC and the like. Reactions conditions such as temperature, duration, pressure, and atmosphere (inert gas, ambient) are known in the art and may be adjusted as appropriate for the reaction.
The invention further encompasses “intermediate” compounds, including structures produced from the synthetic procedures described, whether isolated or not, prior to obtaining the finally desired compound. Structures resulting from carrying out steps from a transient starting material, structures resulting from divergence from the described method(s) at any stage, and structures forming starting materials under the reaction conditions are all “intermediates” included in the invention. Further, structures produced by using starting materials in the form of a reactive derivative or salt, or produced by a compound obtainable by means of the process according to the invention and structures resulting from processing the compounds of the invention in situ are also within the scope of the invention.
New starting materials and/or intermediates, as well as processes for the preparation thereof, are likewise the subject of this invention. In select embodiments, such starting materials are used and reaction conditions so selected as to obtain the desired compound(s).
Starting materials of the invention, are either known, commercially available, or can be synthesized in analogy to or according to methods that are known in the art. Many starting materials may be prepared according to known processes and, in particular, can be prepared using processes described in the examples. In synthesizing starting materials, functional groups may be protected with suitable protecting groups when necessary. Protecting groups, their introduction and removal are described above.
Compounds of the present invention can possess, in general, one or more asymmetric carbon atoms and are thus capable of existing in the form of optical isomers as well as in the form of racemic or non-racemic mixtures thereof The optical isomers can be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixtures according to conventional processes, e.g., by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, by treatment with an optically active acid or base. Examples of appropriate acids are tartaric, diacetyltartaric, dibenzoyltartaric, ditoluoyltartaric, and camphorsulfonic acid and then separation of the mixture of diastereoisomers by crystallization followed by liberation of the optically active bases from these salts. A different process for separation of optical isomers involves the use of a chiral chromatography column optimally chosen to maximize the separation of the enantiomers. Still another available method involves synthesis of covalent diastereoisomeric molecules by reacting compounds of the invention with an optically pure acid in an activated form or an optically pure isocyanate. The synthesized diastereoisomers can be separated by conventional means such as chromatography, distillation, crystallization or sublimation, and then hydrolyzed to deliver the enantiomerically pure compound. The optically active compounds of the invention can likewise be obtained by using optically active starting materials. These isomers may be in the form of a free acid, a free base, an ester or a salt. All such isomeric forms of such compounds are expressly included in the present invention.
The compounds of this invention may also be represented in multiple tautomeric forms. The compounds may also occur in cis- or trans- or E- or Z-double bond isomeric forms. The invention expressly includes all tautomeric forms of the compounds described herein.
All crystal forms of the compounds described herein are expressly included in the present invention.
Substituents on ring moieties (e.g., phenyl, thienyl, etc.) may be attached to specific atoms, whereby they are intended to be fixed to that atom, or they may be drawn unattached to a specific atom, whereby they are intended to be attached at any available atom that is not already substituted by an atom other than H (hydrogen). For example, the R2 substituent is drawn unattached to any specific atom of ring Z′, and therefore each of the n number of R2 substituents may be attached to any atom of Z′.
Synthetic chemistry transformations and protecting group methodologies (protection and deprotection) useful in synthesizing the inhibitor compounds described herein are known in the art and include, for example, those such as described in R. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers (1989); T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd edition, John Wiley and Sons (1999); L. Fieser and M. Fieser, Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons (1994); A. Katritzky and A. Pozharski, Handbook of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 2nd edition (2001); M. Bodanszky, A. Bodanszky, The Practice of Peptide Synthesis, Springer-Verlag, Berlin Heidelberg (1984); J. Seyden-Penne, Reductions by the Alumino- and Borohydrides in Organic Synthesis, 2nd edition, Wiley-VCH, (1997); and L. Paquette, editor, Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons (1995).
The compounds of the invention may be modified by appending appropriate functionalities to enhance selective biological properties. Such modifications are known in the art and include those which increase biological penetration into a given biological compartment (e.g., blood, lymphatic system, central nervous system), increase oral availability, increase solubility to allow administration by injection, alter metabolism and alter rate of excretion. By way of example, a compound of the invention may be modified to incorporate a hydrophobic group or “greasy” moiety in an attempt to enhance the passage of the compound through a hydrophobic membrane, such as a cell wall.
Although the pharmacological properties of the compounds of the invention (Formulas I, II, IIa, III and IIIa) vary with structural change, in general, activity possessed by compounds of Formulas I, II, IIa, III and IIIa may be demonstrated both in vitro as well as in vivo. Particularly, the pharmacological properties of the compounds of this invention may be confirmed by a number of pharmacological in vitro assays. The following exemplified pharmacological assays have been carried out with the compounds according to the invention. Compounds of the invention were found to inhibit kinase activity and, in particular, were found to inhibit raf kinase enzymes.
Biological Evaluation
The following assays can be employed to determine the degree of activity of a compound as a raf protein kinase inhibitor. Compounds described herein have been tested in one or more of these assays, and have shown activity. Representative compounds of the invention were tested and found to exhibit IC50 values of at least <10 μM in any one of the described assays, thereby demonstrating and confirming the utility of the compounds of the invention as Raf kinase inhibitors and in the prophylaxis and treatment of Raf kinase mediated diseases, including, without limitation, cell-proliferative disorders and cancer.
B-raf-Homogenous Time Resolved Flourescent (HTRF) Kinase Assay
A Homogeneous Time Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) kinase assay was established to assay the ability of compounds to inhibit human mutant Braf kinase activity on the substrate MEK1. The assay begins when 1 uL of a 50× compound dose curve in DMSO is added to 60 pM of recombinant HuBraf V600E in a final volume of 40 ul kinase reaction buffer. After a 60-minute incubation at room temperature, the kinase reaction is initiated with the addition of 10 ul substrate mix, resulting in a final concentration of 10 uM ATP (Km= ̃20 uM), 100 nM His-Avitag-MEK1 (Δ32-51,D190N kinase dead) (Km  ̃200 nM) in a final reaction volume of 50 ul. The final concentration of the kinase reaction buffer is 50 mM Tris-HCL pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.5% glucose, 0.5 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA.
The kinase reaction proceeds for 60 minutes at room temperature until the reaction is quenched by the addition of 10 ul Stop/Detection buffer composed of kinase reaction buffer with the addition of Tween-20 (for a final concentration 0.1%), Hexokinase (0.01 unit), Streptavidin-Allophycocyanin (final 10 nM), and Europium labeled anti-Phospho-MEK1/2 (ser217/221 from Cell Signaling Technology.) antibody (final 300 pM).
The detection reaction proceeds for one hour and is read on a RubyStar (BMG Labtech) counter. IC50s for the test compounds are generated using Excel-XLfit software.

B-Raf Cell-Based Assay
A cell-based assay was optimized to assay the ability of compounds to inhibit Braf activity in a whole cell context. A375 cells, a human melanoma cell line having the V600E mutant Braf is used in this assay. These cells exhibit constitutive Braf kinase activity which signals through phospho-MEK1/2 resulting in high levels of phospho-ERK1/2(MAPK). The cell-based assay quantifies the ratio of phospho-ERK1/2 to total ERK1/2 and can thereby assay the cellular inhibition of Braf kinase activity.
A375 cells are plated into 96 well plates and grown to confluence. The cells are then changed into starve media (DMEM/0.1% BSA) for 60 minutes. Compounds in DMSO dose curves are then diluted in starve media and added to cells. DMSO with no compound is used in one column to determine a ‘High’ (no inhibition) reading, and 10 uM of a potent Braf inhibitor (a control compound) is used in another column to determine a ‘Low’ (complete inhibition) reading. After a 60 minute incubation the cells are fixed for 20 minutes at room temperature in 4% formaldehyde with 0.1%Triton X-100, protease and phosphatase inhibitors in PBS. The cells are washed four times in PBS then blocked for 60 minutes using a one to one mix of Odyssey blocking buffer (Li-Cor Biosciences, Inc) and PBS. Primary antibodies (rabbit anti-phospho p42/p44 MAPK (P-ERK1/2) from Cell Signaling Technology and mouse anti-ERK2 from Santa Cruz Biotechnology) are diluted in blocking buffer, added to the cells and incubated overnight at 4° C. The cells are then washed four times in PBS/0.1% Tween-20. Secondary antibodies (anti-mouse IRDye 800CW from Rockland, Inc and anti-rabbit AlexaFlour680 from Molecular Probes) are diluted in blocking buffer/0.5% Tween and incubated on cells for 60 minutes. After 4 washes in PBS/0.1% Tween-20 the microplate is scanned on an Odyssey Infrared Imager (Li-Cor Bioscience) which can read the signal given by the two secondary antibodies on their respective channels. The ratio of P-ERK/total ERK is determined and IC50s generated using Excel-XLfit software.
The following exemplary compounds were found to have IC50's for the inhibition of B-raf as measured by the above-described cell-based assay of less than or equal to 5 uM: Examples 7-19, 24-41, 50-56, 63-65, 68-73, 78-81, 86, 87-105, 107-161, 163-185, 187-331, 337-343, 346, 349, 352, 354, 357-378, 381-383, 392-393, 395, 398, 399, 410-413, 415-424 and 433-438.
The following exemplary compounds were found to have IC50's for the inhibition of B-raf as measured by the above-described cell-based assay of less than or equal to 1 uM: Examples 7-19, 24-41, 50-58, 63-65, 68, 70-73, 78-81, 87-99, 103, 107-113, 115-127, 129-140, 142-148, 150-161, 163, 165-166, 168-185, 187-193, 195-196, 198-204, 206-207, 209-216, 218-239, 241-250, 253-321, 323-331, 337-340, 343, 345, 347-348, 354-355, 357-358, 360-367, 369-378, 381-383, 392, 395, 398, 399, 410, 412-413, 416-424 and 438.

Formulations and Method of Use
Treatment of diseases and disorders herein is intended to also include therapeutic administration of a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutical salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition or medicament comprising the compound, to a subject (i.e., an animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human) which may be in need of preventative treatment, such as, for example, for pain, inflammation, cancer and the like. Treatment also encompasses prophylactic administration of a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutical salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition or medicament of either to a subject (i.e., an animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human). Generally, the subject is initially diagnosed by a licensed physician and/or authorized medical practitioner, and a regimen for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatment via administration of the compound(s) or compositions of the invention is suggested, recommended or prescribed.
While it may be possible to administer a compound of the invention alone, in the methods described, the compound administered normally will be present as an active ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition. Thus, in another embodiment of the invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of this invention in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which includes diluents, excipients, adjuvants and the like (collectively referred to herein as “carrier” materials) as described herein, and, if desired, other active ingredients. In yet another embodiment, there I provided a method of manufacturing a medicament having therein a compound of Formulas I, II, IIa, III and IIIa, comprising combining the compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The pharmaceutical composition, or medicament (used herein synonymously with composition) of the invention may comprise an effective amount of a compound of the invention or an effective dosage amount of a compound of the invention. An effective dosage amount of a compound of the invention includes an amount less than, equal to or greater than an effective amount of the compound; for example, a pharmaceutical composition in which two or more unit dosages, such as in tablets, capsules and the like, are required to administer an effective amount of the compound, or alternatively, a multi-dose pharmaceutical composition, such as powders, liquids and the like, in which an effective amount of the compound is administered by administering a portion of the composition.
The compound(s) of the present invention may be administered by any suitable route, preferably in the form of a pharmaceutical composition adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment intended. The compounds and compositions of the present invention may, for example, be administered orally, mucosally, topically, rectally, pulmonarily such as by inhalation spray, or parentally including intravascularly, intravenously, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly intrasternally and infusion techniques, in dosage unit formulations containing conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles.
For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension or liquid. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. Examples of such dosage units are tablets or capsules. For example, these may contain an amount of active ingredient from about 1 to 2000 mg, and typically from about 1 to 500 mg. A suitable daily dose for a human or other mammal may vary widely depending on the condition of the patient and other factors, but, once again, can be determined using routine methods and practices.
The amount of compounds which are administered and the dosage regimen for treating a disease condition with the compounds and/or compositions of this invention depends on a variety of factors, including the age, weight, sex and medical condition of the subject, the type of disease, the severity of the disease, the route and frequency of administration, and the particular compound employed. Thus, the dosage regimen may vary widely, but can be determined routinely using standard methods. A daily dose of about 0.01 to 500 mg/kg, advantageously between about 0.01 and about 50 mg/kg, and more advantageously about 0.01 and about 30 mg/kg body weight may be appropriate. The daily dose can be administered in one to four doses per day.
For therapeutic purposes, the active compounds of this invention are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants or “excipients” appropriate to the indicated route of administration. If administered on a per dose basis, the compounds may be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, gelatin, acacia gum, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, to form the final formulation. For example, the active compound(s) and excipient(s) may be tableted or encapsulated by known and accepted methods for convenient administration. Examples of suitable formulations include, without limitation, pills, tablets, soft and hard-shell gel capsules, troches, orally-dissolvable forms and delayed or controlled-release formulations thereof Particularly, capsule or tablet formulations may contain one or more controlled-release agents, such as hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, as a dispersion with the active compound(s).
In the case of psoriasis and other skin conditions, it may be preferable to apply a topical preparation of compounds of this invention to the affected area two to four times a day.
Formulations suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations suitable for penetration through the skin (e.g., liniments, lotions, ointments, creams, pastes, suspensions and the like) and drops suitable for administration to the eye, ear, or nose. A suitable topical dose of active ingredient of a compound of the invention is 0.1 mg to 150 mg administered one to four, preferably one or two times daily. For topical administration, the active ingredient may comprise from 0.001% to 10% w/w, e.g., from 1% to 2% by weight of the formulation, although it may comprise as much as 10% w/w, but preferably not more than 5% w/w, and more preferably from 0.1% to 1% of the formulation.
When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredients may be employed with either paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example at least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol such as propylene glycol, butane-1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol, polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. The topical formulation may desirably include a compound, which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include DMSO and related analogs.
The compounds of this invention can also be administered by transdermal device. Preferably transdermal administration will be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir and porous membrane type or of a solid matrix variety. In either case, the active agent is delivered continuously from the reservoir or microcapsules through a membrane into the active agent permeable adhesive, which is in contact with the skin or mucosa of the recipient. If the active agent is absorbed through the skin, a controlled and predetermined flow of the active agent is administered to the recipient. In the case of microcapsules, the encapsulating agent may also function as the membrane.
The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may comprise a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make-up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base, which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations. Emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the present invention include, for example, Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax, or other materials well known in the art.
The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of the active compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations is very low. Thus, the cream should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters may be used. These may be used alone or in combination depending on the properties required. Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used.
Formulations suitable for topical administration to the eye also include eye drops wherein the active ingredients are dissolved or suspended in suitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent for the active ingredients. The active ingredients are preferably present in such formulations in a concentration of 0.5 to 20%, advantageously 0.5 to 10% and particularly about 1.5% w/w.
Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules using one or more of the carriers or diluents mentioned for use in the formulations for oral administration or by using other suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, tragacanth gum, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art. The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as a composition with suitable carriers including saline, dextrose, or water, or with cyclodextrin (ie. Captisol), cosolvent solubilization (ie. propylene glycol) or micellar solubilization (ie. Tween 80).
The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic 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, 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 may be employed, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.
The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as a composition with suitable carriers including saline, dextrose, or water. The daily parenteral dosage regimen will be from about 0.1 to about 30 mg/kg of total body weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/kg, and more preferably from about 0.25 mg to 1 mg/kg.
For pulmonary administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be administered in the form of an aerosol or with an inhaler including dry powder aerosol.
Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols that are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or may contain conventional adjuvants, such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, buffers etc. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
Combinations
While the compounds of the invention can be dosed or administered as the sole active pharmaceutical agent, they can also be used in combination with one or more compounds of the invention or in conjunction with other agents. When administered as a combination, the therapeutic agents can be formulated as separate compositions that are administered simultaneously or sequentially at different times, or the therapeutic agents can be given as a single composition.
The phrase “co-therapy” (or “combination-therapy”), in defining use of a compound of the present invention and another pharmaceutical agent, is intended to embrace administration of each agent in a sequential manner in a regimen that will provide beneficial effects of the drug combination, and is intended as well to embrace co-administration of these agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single capsule having a fixed ratio of these active agents or in multiple, separate capsules for each agent.
Specifically, the administration of compounds of the present invention may be in conjunction with additional therapies known to those skilled in the art in the prevention or treatment of cancer such as with radiation therapy or with cytostatic or cytotoxic agents.
If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the accepted dosage ranges. Compounds of Formulas I-IV may also be administered sequentially with known anticancer or cytotoxic agents when a combination formulation is inappropriate. The invention is not limited in the sequence of administration; compounds of the invention may be administered either prior to, simultaneous with or after administration of the known anticancer or cytotoxic agent.
Currently, standard treatment of primary tumors consists of surgical excision followed by either radiation or intravenous (IV) administered chemotherapy. The typical chemotherapy regime consists of either DNA alkylating agents, DNA intercalating agents, CDK inhibitors, or microtubule poisons. The chemotherapy doses used are just below the maximal tolerated dose and therefore dose limiting toxicities typically include, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, neutropenia and the like.
There are large numbers of antineoplastic agents available in commercial use, in clinical evaluation and in pre-clinical development, which would be selected for treatment of neoplasia by combination drug chemotherapy. Such antineoplastic agents fall into several major categories, namely, antibiotic-type agents, alkylating agents, antimetabolite agents, hormonal agents, immunological agents, interferon-type agents and a category of miscellaneous agents.
The foregoing description is merely illustrative of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the disclosed compounds, compositions and methods. Variations and changes, which are obvious to one skilled in the art, are intended to be within the scope and nature of the invention, as defined in the appended claims. From the foregoing description, one skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the invention to adapt it to various usages and conditions. All patents and other publications recited herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
