## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a fused heterocyclic derivative having a potent kinase inhibitory activity and useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of cancer and the like, and use thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
For a solid tumor to grow to a certain size or above, angiogenesis is essential for ensuring sufficient supply of nutrition and oxygen to cancer cell (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 1). One of the important factors causing angiogenesis toward tumor, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known. VEGF is bound to a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) expressed on vascular endothelial cells and transmits signal for cell proliferation (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 2). Accordingly, inhibition of the VEGF-VEGFR signal transduction system is considered to enable suppression of angiogenesis and tumor growth (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 3). Moreover, since tumor blood vessels are involved in cancer hematogenous metastasis, inhibition of angiogenesis is considered to be effective for suppression of cancer metastasis.
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is known to promote growth of vascular endothelial cell via its receptor (c-Met), and cause angiogenesis (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 4). It has been clarified that c-Met is highly expressed in various types of cancers (colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, kidney cancer, breast cancer, ovary cancer, prostate cancer and the like), and is deeply involved in the growth and survival of cancer cells (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 5). Therefore, cancer cell growth is expected to be suppressed by inhibiting c-Met. Moreover, activation of c-Met is also involved in the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 6), and inhibition of c-Met is considered to be effective for the prevention of invasion or metastasis of cancer.
Tyrosine Kinase with Immunoglobulin and Epidermal Growth homology domain 2 (TIE2) is a receptor of angiopoietin (angiopoietin 1 and angiopoietin 2), mainly expressed in vascular endothelial cells and is known to be indispensable for the development of blood vessels in the fetal stages (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 7). It has been reported that inhibition of binding of angiopoietin with solubilized form TIE2 etc. decreases tumor blood vessel density and suppresses tumor growth in non-clinical model (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 8). The system of angiopoietin TIE2 is suggested to play a key role in the tumor angiogenesis, along with the VEGF-VEGFR system. Therefore, inhibition of TIE2 is considered to suppress angiogenesis as well as tumor growth.
Fms Like Tyrosine Kinase 3 (FLT3) is mutated most frequently in acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), and is known to be constitutively activated even in the absence of a ligand, by length mutation (FLT3-ITD mutation) of transmembrane portion, which is called Internal Tandem Duplication (ITD), or activated mutation of tyrosine kinase portion (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 9). It is considered that signals from FLT3 activate downstream AKT, extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK), signal transducer and activator of transcription (STATS), and are involved in the growth of leukemia cells and suppression of differentiation (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 10). Particularly, the FLT3-ITD mutation observed in 20-30% of AML patients has been reported to correlate with poor life prognosis (see, for example, Non Patent Literature 11). Therefore, inhibition of FLT3 is considered to suppress growth of leukemia cells.
As compounds inhibiting kinase including VEGFR and c-Met, phthalazine derivatives (see, for example, Patent Literature 1), pyrrole-substituted 2-indolinone derivatives (see, for example, Patent Literature 2), quinazoline derivatives (see, for example, Patent Literature 3), ω-carboxyaryl-substituted diphenylurea derivatives (see, for example, Patent Literature 4), quinoline derivatives and quinazoline derivatives (see, for example, Patent Literature 5), nitrogen-containing aromatic ring derivatives (see, for example, Patent Literature 6), quinoline derivatives and quinazoline derivative (see, for example, Patent Literature 7) and the like are known.

The infected cells were washed with a phosphate buffered saline (Invitrogen), centrifuged under the same conditions, and the cells were preserved at −80° C. The cryopreserved cells were thawed in ice, suspended in buffer A (50 mM Tris buffer (30 mL, pH 7.4) containing 20% glycerol, 0.15 M NaCl) supplemented with Complete Protease Inhibitor (Boehringer), and ruptured 3 times with a Polytron homogenizer (Kinematica) at 20,000 rpm for 30 sec. The ruptured medium was clarified by centrifugation at 40,000 rpm for 30 min and filtered with a 0.45 μm filter. The filtrate was passed through a column packed with Anti-FLAG M2 Affinity Gel (4 mL, Sigma) at a flow rate of about 0.5 mL/min. The column was washed with buffer A, and eluted with buffer A containing 100 μg/mL of FLAG peptide. The eluate was concentrated with Vivaspin 20 (Vivascience) having a molecular weight cut off of 30K. The buffer of this concentrate was exchanged using NAPTM 25 column (Amersham Bioscience) equilibrated with buffer A. The fractions containing intracellular domain protein of VEGFR2 were collected, glycerol was added to the final concentration of 50% and cryopreserved at −80° C.

The cells were suspended in RPMI1640 containing 0.3% bovine fetal serum, plated on a 96 well flat bottom plate at a cells density of 3000 cells/50 μL per well. After culturing overnight, various concentrations of test substance were dissolved in RPMI1640 containing 0.3% bovine fetal serum and added to each well by 50 μL. After culture for 3 days, a Cell counting kit-8 reagent (DOJINDO LABORATORIES) was added to each well by 10 μL, and reacted in an incubator at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 2-3 hr. After the reaction, the absorbance of each well at 450 nm was measured by a microtiter plate reader. The concentration of a test substance necessary for inhibiting the growth by 50% (IC50 value) was calculated using a cell proliferation rate with addition of the test substance at each concentration and according to the nonlinear regression analysis using GraphPad Prism [Sigmoidal dose response (variable slope)]. The cell proliferation rate (%) with addition of a test substance at each concentration was calculated by the following formula. As a positive control (100% growth), dimethyl sulfoxide was added instead of a test substance. As a negative control (0% growth), the compound of Reference Example 136 (WO2005/030140, Entry 104), which is a known c-Met inhibitor, was added in large excess (10 μM) instead of a test substance.

Cancer cells were cultured in a culture medium containing 10% bovine fetal serum in an incubator at 37° C., 5% CO2. MKN-45 cells were treated with trypsin/EDTA and isolated. MKN-45 and MV-4-11 cells were washed with HBSS (HANK's Balanced Saline Solution). When MKN-45 cells were transplanted, they were adjusted with HBSS to a cell density of 1.2×108 cells/mL, and transplanted by subcutaneous injection of 0.05 mL of a mixed suspension (3×106 cells) of the cell suspension and the same amount of Matrigel into the abdomen of 6 or 7-week-old female nude mouse (BALB/c nu/nu, CLEA Japan, Inc.). When MV-4-11 cells were transplanted, they were adjusted with HESS to a cell density of 1.2×108 cells/mL, and transplanted by subcutaneous injection of 0.05 mL of a mixed suspension (3×106 cells) of the cell suspension and the same amount of Matrigel into the abdomen of 7-week-old female nude mouse (BALB/c nu/nu, CLEA Japan, Inc.). When the average tumor volume reached 100-250 mm3, the mice were grouped, and various doses of test substance were orally administered for 14 consecutive days starting from the next day. The length of the major axis and the length of the minor axis of the tumor were measured over time and the tumor volume was calculated by tumor volume=major axis length×minor axis length×minor axis length×0.5. The ratio of an increase in the average tumor volume of the control group to an increase in the average tumor volume of the drug administration group was taken as the tumor growth rate (%) of the drug administration group. Table 5 showned MKN-45 tumor growth rate (%) and table 6 showned MV-4-11 tumor growth rate (%).
