The present invention relates to novel pyrimidine derivatives, processes for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy.
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis consists of ligands, receptors, binding proteins and proteases. The two ligands, IGF-I and IGF-II, are mitogenic peptides that signal through interaction with the type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R), a hetero-tetrameric cell surface receptor. Binding of either ligand stimulates activation of a tyrosine kinase domain in the intracellular region of the β-chain and results in phosphorylation of several tyrosine residues resulting in the recruitment and activation of various signalling molecules. The intracellular domain has been shown to transmit signals for mitogenesis, survival, transformation, and differentiation in cells. The structure and function of the IGF-1R has been reviewed by Adams et al (Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 57, 1050-1093, 2000). The IGF-IIR (also known as mannose 6-phosphate receptor) has no such kinase domain and does not signal mitogenesis but may act to regulate ligand availability at the cell surface, counteracting the effect of the IGF-1R. The IGF binding proteins (IGFBP) control availability of circulating IGF and release of IGF from these can be mediated by proteolytic cleavage. These other components of the IGF axis have been reviewed by Collett-Solberg and Cohen (Endocrine, 12, 121-136, 2000).
There is considerable evidence linking IGF signalling with cellular transformation and the onset and progression of tumours. IGF has been identified as the major survival factor that protects from oncogene induced cell death (Harrington et al, EMBO J, 13, 3286-3295, 1994). Cells lacking IGF-1R have been shown to be refractory to transformation by several different oncogenes (including SV40T antigen and ras) that efficiently transform corresponding wild-type cells (Sell et al., Mol. Cell Biol., 14, 3604-12, 1994). Upregulation of components of the IGF axis has been described in various tumour cell lines and tissues, particularly tumours of the breast (Surmacz, Journal of Mammary Gland Biology & Neoplasia, 5, 95-105, 2000), prostate (Djavan et al, World J. Urol., 19, 225-233, 2001, and O'Brien et al, Urology, 58, 1-7, 2001) and colon (Guo et al, Gastroenterology, 102, 1101-1108, 1992). Conversely, IGF-IIR has been implicated as a tumour suppressor and is deleted in some cancers (DaCosta et al, Journal of Mammary Gland Biology & Neoplasia, 5, 85-94, 2000). There is a growing number of epidemiological studies linking increased circulating IGF (or increased ratio of IGF-1 to IGFBP3) with cancer risk (Yu and Rohan, J. Natl. Cancer Inst., 92, 1472-1489, 2000). Transgenic mouse models also implicate IGF signalling in the onset of tumour cell proliferation (Lamm and Christofori, Cancer Res. 58, 801-807, 1998, Foster et al, Cancer Metas. Rev., 17, 317-324, 1998, and DiGiovanni et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 97, 3455-3460, 2000).
Several in vitro and in vivo strategies have provided the proof of principal that inhibition of IGF-1R signalling reverses the transformed phenotype and inhibits tumour cell growth. These include neutralizing antibodies (Kalebic et al Cancer Res., 54, 5531-5534, 1994), antisense oligonucleotides (Resnicoff et al, Cancer Res., 54, 2218-2222, 1994), triple-helix forming oligonucleotides (Rinninsland et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 94, 5854-5859, 1997), antisense mRNA (Nakamura et al, Cancer Res., 60, 760-765, 2000) and dominant negative receptors (D'Ambrosio et al., Cancer Res., 56, 4013-4020, 1996). Antisense oligonucleotides have shown that inhibition of IGF-1R expression results in induction of apoptosis in cells in vivo (Resnicoff et al, Cancer Res., 55, 2463-2469, 1995) and have been taken into man (Resnicoff et al, Proc. Amer. Assoc. Cancer Res., 40 Abs 4816, 1999). However, none of these approaches is particularly attractive for the treatment of major solid tumour disease.
Since increased IGF signalling is implicated in the growth and survival of tumour cells, and blocking IGF-1R function can reverse this, inhibition of the IGF-1R tyrosine kinase domain is an appropriate therapy by which to treat cancer. In vitro and in vivo studies with the use of dominant-negative IGF-1R variants support this. In particular, a point mutation in the ATP binding site which blocks receptor tyrosine kinase activity has proved effective in preventing tumour cell growth (Kulik et al, Mol. Cell. Biol., 17, 1595-1606, 1997). Several pieces of evidence imply that normal cells are less susceptible to apoptosis caused by inhibition of IGF signalling, indicating that a therapeutic margin is possible with such treatment (Baserga, Trends Biotechnol., 14, 150-2, 1996).
There are few reports of selective IGF-1R tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Parrizas et al. described tyrphostins that had some efficacy in vitro and in vivo (Parrizas et al., Endocrinology, 138:1427-33 (1997)). These compounds were of modest potency and selectivity over the insulin receptor. Telik Inc. have described heteroaryl-aryl ureas which have selectivity over insulin receptors but potency against tumour cells in vitro is still modest (Published PCT Patent Application No. WO 00/35455).
Pyrimidine derivatives substituted at the 2- and 4-positions by a substituted amino group having IGF-IR tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity are described in WO 03/048133. Compounds in which the nitrogen atom of the amino substituent forms part of a heterocyclic ring are not disclosed.
WO 02/50065 discloses that certain pyrazolyl-amino substituted pyrimidine derivatives have protein kinase inhibitory activity, especially as inhibitors of Aurora-2 and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), and are useful for treating diseases such as cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. The compounds disclosed have a substituted amino substituent at the 2-position of the pyrimidine ring but again there is no disclosure of compounds in which the nitrogen atom of the amino substituent forms part of a heterocyclic ring.
Pyrazolyl-amino substituted pyrimidine derivatives having Aurora-2 and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitory activity in which the 2-position of the pyrimidine ring is substituted by an N-linked heterocyclic ring are disclosed generically in WO 02/22601, WO 02/22602, WO 02/22603, WO 02/22604, WO 02/22605, WO 02/22606, WO 02/22607 and WO 02/22608. In the large majority of the over four hundred compounds exemplified, the pyrimidine ring is present as part of a fused ring system, however, and in none of the exemplified compounds is the heterocyclic substituent at this position itself substituted by another ring substituent.
WO 01/60816 discloses that certain substituted pyrimidine derivatives have protein kinase inhibitory activity. There is no disclosure in WO 01/60816 of pyrimidine derivatives having a pyrazolyl-amino substituent at the 4-position on the pyrimidine ring and a substituted N-linked saturated monocyclic ring at the 2-position on the pyrimidine ring.

A ‘heteroatom’ is a nitrogen, sulphur or oxygen atom. Where rings include nitrogen atoms, these may be substituted as necessary to fulfil the bonding requirements of nitrogen or they may be linked to the rest of the structure by way of the nitrogen atom. Nitrogen atoms may also be in the form of N-oxides. Sulphur atoms may be in the form of S, S(O) or SO2.
A ‘saturated monocyclic 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered ring, which ring may optionally comprise one or more heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur’ may be a carbocyclic ring (that is an alicyclic ring having ring carbon atoms only) or is a heterocyclic ring containing three to seven atoms of which at least one is a heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur and which ring may, unless otherwise specified, be carbon or nitrogen linked. When the ‘saturated monocyclic 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered ring, which ring may optionally comprise one or more heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur’ is a heterocyclic ring, the heterocyclic ring preferably contains from one to four, more preferably from one to three, even more preferably from one to two, heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur. Unless specified otherwise, the heterocyclic ring may be carbon or nitrogen linked. Examples of suitable carbocyclic rings include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl. A saturated monocyclic 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered heterocyclic ring may suitably be selected from oxiranyl, azetidinyl, dioxanyl, trioxanyl, oxepanyl, dithianyl, trithianyl, oxathianyl, thiomorpholinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, imidazolidinyl, morpholinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl and piperazinyl (particularly azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, morpholinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl and piperazinyl).

Where reference is made to a ‘saturated monocyclic 5- to 6-membered ring’ or to a ‘saturated monocyclic 5- to 6-membered heterocyclic ring’, it will be understood that this refers to rings containing five or six ring atoms, representative examples of which are listed above. Where reference is made to a ‘saturated monocyclic 4-, 5- or 6-membered ring’ or to a ‘saturated monocyclic 4-, 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring’, it will be understood that this refers to rings containing four, five or six ring atoms, representative examples of which are listed above.
An ‘N-linked saturated monocyclic 5- to 6-membered ring containing one nitrogen heteroatom, and optionally comprising one or more additional ring heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur’ is a saturated monocyclic heterocyclic ring containing five or six ring atoms which, in addition to the nitrogen atom through which it is linked to the rest of the structure, optionally comprises at least one heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur. The saturated monocyclic heterocyclic ring containing five or six ring atoms preferably comprises from one to three, more preferably from one to two, heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur in addition to the nitrogen atom through which it is linked to the rest of the structure. Particular examples of such ring systems include pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, morpholinyl and piperazinyl.
A ‘5- to 6-membered heteroaromatic ring comprising at least one ring heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur’ is a fully unsaturated, aromatic monocyclic ring containing five or six atoms of which at least one is a heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur, which ring may, unless otherwise specified, be carbon or nitrogen linked. Preferably, the 5- to 6-membered heteroaromatic ring contains from one to four heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur. Particular examples of such ring systems include pyridyl, imidazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyrazolyl, furyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrrolyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, oxadiazolyl, isothiazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl or thienyl.
A ‘saturated or unsaturated 5- to 6-membered monocyclic ring which may comprise at least one ring heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur’ is a saturated or fully or partially unsaturated monocyclic ring containing five or six atoms of which optionally at least one is a heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur, which ring may, unless otherwise specified, be carbon or nitrogen linked. The ring may have alicyclic or aromatic properties. An aromatic monocyclic ring may be aryl (such as phenyl) or heteroaromatic, representative examples of which are listed above.
As used herein, the term ‘heterocyclic ring’ refers to a saturated monocyclic ring system having from 3 to 8 ring atoms in which one or more ring carbons is replaced by a heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur. Preferably, the heterocyclic ring contains from one to four, more preferably from one to three, even more preferably from one to two, heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur. Examples include pyrrolidinyl and piperidinyl.
When R3 is a 2,7-diazaspiro[3.5]nonane group, it is preferably linked to the pyrimidine ring via. a nitrogen atom, particularly via. the nitrogen atom at the 7-position. When the 2,7-diazaspiro[3.5]nonane group carries a substituent, this may be at any available carbon or nitrogen atom, for example at any nitrogen atom that is not attached to the pyrimidine ring. A particular substituted 2,7-diazaspiro[3.5]nonane group may, for example, be 2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2,7-diazaspiro[3.5]nonane.
Where R4 and R5, or R6 and R7, or R8 and R9, or R10 and R11, or R12 and R13, or R14 and R15 form a saturated heterocyclic ring, the only heteroatom present is the nitrogen atom to which R4 and R5, or R6 and R7, or R8 and R9, or R10 and R11, or R12 and R13, or R14 and R15 are attached. The saturated heterocyclic ring is preferably a 4- to 7-membered ring, including the nitrogen atom to which R4 and R5, or R6 and R7, or R8 and R9, or R10 and R11, or R12 and R13, or R14 and R15 are attached.

Compounds of formulae (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VI), (VII), (VI), HXa, (Xb), (Xc), (Xc′) and M-R3 are either commercially available, are known in the literature or may be prepared using known techniques, for example by analogy with the processes described in WO 03/048133. Compounds of the formula (IX), (X), (XI) and (XII) may be prepared using processes (i) and (ii) above. Examples of preparation methods for certain of these compounds are given hereinafter in the examples.
Compounds of formula (I) can be converted into further compounds of formula (I) using standard procedures conventional in the art.
Examples of the types of conversion reactions that may be used include introduction of a substituent by means of an aromatic substitution reaction or of a nucleophilic substitution reaction, reduction of substituents, alkylation of substituents and oxidation of substituents. The reagents and reaction conditions for such procedures are well known in the chemical art.
Particular examples of aromatic substitution reactions include the introduction of a nitro group using concentrated nitric acid; the introduction of an acyl group using, for example, an acyl halide and Lewis acid (such as aluminium trichloride) under Friedel Crafts conditions; the introduction of an alkyl group using an alkyl halide and Lewis acid (such as aluminium trichloride) under Friedel Crafts conditions; and the introduction of a halogeno group. Particular examples of nucleophilic substitution reactions include the introduction of an alkoxy group or of an alkylamino group, a dialkyamino group or a N-containing heterocycle using standard conditions. Particular examples of reduction reactions include the reduction of a carbonyl group to a hydroxyl group with sodium borohydride or of a nitro group to an amino group by catalytic hydrogenation with a nickel catalyst or by treatment with iron in the presence of hydrochloric acid with heating; and particular examples of oxidation reactions include oxidation of alkylthio to alkylsulphinyl or alkylsulphonyl. Other conversion reactions that may be used include the acid catalysed esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols.
An example of a suitable conversion reaction is the conversion of a compound of formula (I) wherein R3 is a (C1-C6)alkenyl group to a compound of formula (I) wherein R3 is a (C1-C6)alkyl group substituted by a di-[(C1-C6)alkyl]amino group or by a saturated monocyclic 4- to 7-membered ring, which ring comprises nitrogen and one or more heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur. Such a conversion may be achieved using standard procedures, for example by conversion of the alkenyl group to a dihydroxyalkyl group with osmium tetroxide, oxidation to the corresponding ketone with a suitable oxidising agent (for example sodium periodate) and conversion of the ketone group to the desired substituent as defined above by reaction with the appropriate amine in the presence of a suitable reducing agent (for example sodium cyanoborohydride).
Another example of a suitable conversion reaction is the conversion of a compound of formula (I) wherein R3 is an optionally substituted (C1-C6)alkoxycarbonyl group to a compound of formula (I) wherein R3 is an optionally substituted carbamoyl, (C1-C6)alkylcarbamoyl or di-[(C1-C6)alkyl]carbamoyl group or an optionally substituted —C(O)R3b group, wherein R3b is as defined above. Such a conversion may be achieved using standard procedures, for example by reaction of the compound of formula (I) wherein R3 is an optionally substituted (C1-C6)alkoxycarbonyl group with ammonia, with an optionally substituted primary, secondary or tertiary amine or with an optionally substituted H—R3b group. As the skilled person would appreciate, this conversion could be conducted starting from the carboxylic acid and preparing an activated ester, for example using 4-(4,6-dimethoxy[1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)-4-methyl-morpholinium chloride, which may then be reacted with the necessary amine.
Another example of a suitable conversion reaction is the conversion of a compound of formula (I) wherein R3 is a (C1-C6)alkoxycarbonyl group to a compound of formula (I) wherein R3 is a hydroxyl-(C1-C6)alkyl group. Such a conversion may be achieved using standard procedures, for example by reduction using lithium borohydride or lithium aluminium hydride.
It will be appreciated that the preparation of compounds of formula (I) may involve, at various stages, the addition and removal of one or more protecting groups. The protection and deprotection of functional groups is described in ‘Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis’, 2nd edition, T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Wiley-Interscience (1991).
When a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula (I) is required, for example an acid-addition salt, it may be obtained by, for example, reaction of said compound with a suitable acid using a conventional procedure.
As mentioned hereinbefore some of the compounds according to the present invention may contain one or more chiral centers and may therefore exist as stereoisomers. Stereoisomers may be separated using conventional techniques, e.g. chromatography or fractional crystallisation. The enantiomers may be isolated by separation of a racemate for example by fractional crystallisation, resolution or HPLC. The diastereoisomers may be isolated by separation by virtue of the different physical properties of the diastereoisomers, for example, by fractional crystallisation, HPLC or flash chromatography. Alternatively particular stereoisomers may be made by chiral synthesis from chiral starting materials under conditions which will not cause racemisation or epimerisation, or by derivatisation, with a chiral reagent. When a specific stereoisomer is isolated it is suitably isolated substantially free for other stereoisomers, for example containing less than 20%, particularly less than 10% and more particularly less than 5% by weight of other stereoisomers.
In the section above relating to the preparation of the compounds of formula (I), the expression “inert solvent” refers to a solvent which does not react with the starting materials, reagents, intermediates or products in a manner which adversely affects the yield of the desired product.
Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that, in order to obtain compounds of the invention in an alternative and in some occasions, more convenient manner, the individual process steps mentioned hereinbefore may be performed in different order, and/or the individual reactions may be performed at different stage in the overall route (i.e. chemical transformations may be performed upon different intermediates to those associated hereinbefore with a particular reaction).

Example 1
5-Chloro-2-{2-[3-(pyrid-2-yl)isoxazol-5-yl]pyrrolidin-1-yl}-4-(5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)pyrimidine
A mixture of 2,5-dichloro-4-(5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)pyrimidine (Method 10 of WO 03/048133) (158 mg, 0.648 mmol), 2-[3-(pyrid-2-yl)isoxazol-5-yl]pyrrolidine (Method 12) (212 mg, 0.972 mmol) and di-isopropylethylamine (282 μL, 1.62 mmol) was stirred and heated at 140° C. in n-hexanol (7.0 ml) under nitrogen for 9 hours. The bulk of the hexanol was then removed by evaporation and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The ethyl acetate layer was separated, washed with 1.0 molar phosphate buffer pH 4 (×2), then water and finally brine. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated and the crude product was absorbed onto a 10 g isolute SCX2 ion exchange column. The column was eluted with DCM/methanol (4:1) to remove neutrals and then with dichloromethane/2M methanolic ammonia (4:1) to elute the product. The purified product was dissolved in the minimum volume of DCM and to the stirred solution a slight excess of 1.0 M ethereal hydrogen chloride was added. Further diethyl ether was added and the solid product collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether and dried to give the hydrochloride salt of the title compound (300 mg, 100%).

Example 12
2-[2-(3-Cyclopropylisoxazol-5-yl)pyrrolidin-1-yl]-methoxymethyl-4-(5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)pyrimidine
A mixture of 4-chloro-2-[2-(3-cyclopropylisoxazol-5-yl]pyrrolidin-1-yl]-6-methoxymethylpyrimidine (Method 19) (250 mg, 0.746 mmol), 3-amino-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole (109 mg, 1.2 mmol) and hydrogen chloride (0.56 ml of a 4M solution in dioxane, 2.24 mmol) in NMP (5 ml) was heated at 120° C. for 18 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool then directly applied to an isolute SCX2 ion exchange column. The column was eluted with DCM/methanol (4:1) to remove neutrals and then with 7M methanolic ammonia to elute the product. The partially purified product was then purified by chromatography on silica gel eluting with DCM/methanol (100:0 increasing in polarity to 95:5). The product was triturated with diethyl ether/DCM and the solid product collected by filtration to give the title compound (100 mg, 34%) as a white solid.

The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with DCM. The extracts were combined, washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by reverse phase HPLC using a C18 column eluting with water/acetonitrile/TFA (70:30:0.2 decreasing in polarity to 30:70:0.2). Product containing fractions were poured onto a SCX-2 column and washed with methanol then eluted with 7N methanolic ammonia to elute the product. The solvent was removed by evaporation to give the title compound (107 mg, 31%).

Method 12
2-[3-(Pyrid-2-yl)isoxazol-5-yl]pyrrolidine
n-Butyllithium (7.5 ml of a 1.82M solution in hexane, 13.74 mmol) was added to a solution of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (2.5 ml, 14.9 mmol) in THF (99 ml) stirred at −78° C. under nitrogen such that the temperature was maintained below −65° C. The solution was then stirred at −78° C. for 15 minutes. A solution of [3-(pyridin-2-yl)isoxazol-5-yl]methyl[(1E)-phenylmethylene]amine (Method 7) (3.0 g, 11.45 mmol) in dry THF (5 ml) was then added over 5 minutes, keeping the temperature at or below −70° C., and the mixture stirred at −78° C. for 15 minutes. 1-Chloro-3-iodopropane (1.53 ml, 14.31 mmol) was then added dropwise over 1 minute, the mixture was then stirred at −78° C. for 15 minutes, then allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours. Diethyl ether, followed by water was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture stirred vigorously for 5 minutes. The layers were separated, the organic layer was washed with water and then brine, dried (Na2SO4), and evaporated to give the crude alkylated imine. This imine was directly dissolved in ethanol (24 ml) and 2 M hydrochloric acid (48 ml) added. The mixture was stirred 18 hours at ambient temperature. The ethanol was removed by evaporation and further water added and the aqueous layer washed with diethyl ether (×2). The aqueous solution was adjusted to pH 11.5 by addition of solid sodium carbonate and 40% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution near the end point. This aqueous solution was stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature during this period additional 40% sodium hydroxide was added to maintain the solution at pH 11.5.
The resulting solution of crude product is purified by one of two process:—
Purification Process A
DCM (70 ml) and di-t-butyl dicarbonate (2.74 g, 12.57 mmol) were then added to the aqueous solution of crude product and the mixture stirred vigorously at ambient temperature for 2.5 hours. The layers were separated and the organic layer washed with water and then brine dried (Na2SO4), and the volatiles removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by column chromatography on a Biotage 40M silica cartridge eluting with DCM/EtOAc (93:7) to give 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-[3-(pyrid-2-yl)isoxazol-5-yl]pyrrolidine (1.81 g, 50%) as a waxy solid.

IGF-1R Kinase Assay
a) Protein Cloning, Expression and Purification
A DNA molecule encoding a fusion protein containing glutathione-S-transferase (GST), thrombin cleavage site and IGF-1R intracellular domain (amino-acids 930-1367) and subsequently referred to as GST-IGFR, was constructed and cloned into pFastBac1 (Life Technologies Ltd, UK) using standard molecular biology techniques (Molecular Cloning—A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition 1989; Sambrook, Fritsch and Maniatis; Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory Press).
Production of recombinant virus was performed following the manufacturer's protocol.
Briefly, the pFastBac-1 vector containing GST-IGFR was transformed into E. coli DH10Bac cells containing the baculovirus genome (bacmid DNA) and via a transposition event in the cells, a region of the pFastBac vector containing gentamycin resistance gene and the GST-IGFR expression cassette including the baculovirus polyhedrin promoter was transposed directly into the bacmid DNA. By selection on gentamycin, kanamycin, tetracycline and X-gal, resultant white colonies should contain recombinant bacmid DNA encoding GST-IGFR. Bacmid DNA was extracted from a small scale culture of several BH10Bac white colonies and transfected into Spodoptera frugiperda Sf21 cells grown in TC100 medium (Life Technologies Ltd, UK) containing 10% serum using CellFECTIN reagent (Life Technologies Ltd, UK) following the manufacturer's instructions. Virus particles were harvested by collecting cell culture medium 72 hrs post transfection. 0.5 ml of medium was used to infect 100 ml suspension culture of Sf21s containing 1×107 cells/ml. Cell culture medium was harvested 48 hrs post infection and virus titre determined using a standard plaque assay procedure. Virus stocks were used to infect Sf9 and “High 5” cells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 3 to ascertain expression of recombinant GST-IGFR.
The GST-IGFR protein was purified by affinity chromatography on Glutathione-Sepharose followed by elution with glutathione. Briefly, cells were lysed in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5 (Sigma, H3375), 200 mM NaCl (Sigma, S7653), Complete Protease Inhibitor cocktail (Roche, 1 873 580) and 1 mM DTT (Sigma, D9779), hereinafter referred to as lysis buffer. Clarified lysate supernatant was loaded through a chromatography column packed with Glutathione Sepharose (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech UK Ltd.). Contaminants were washed from the matrix with lysis buffer until the UV absorbance at 280 nm returned to the baseline. Elution was carried out with lysis buffer containing 20 mM reduced glutathione (Sigma, D2804) and fractions containing the GST fusion protein were pooled and dialysed into a glycerol-containing buffer comprising 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 200 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol (v/v), 3 mM reduced glutathione and 1 mM DTT.
b) Kinase Activity Assay
The activity of the purified enzyme was measured by phosphorylation of a synthetic poly GluAlaTyr (EAY) 6:3:1 peptide (Sigma-Aldrich Company Ltd, UK, P3899) using an ELISA detection system in a 96-well format.

The plate was then washed again (1×50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4; 250 μl per well) and blotted dry (this is important in order to remove background phosphate levels). 10 μl test compound solution was added with 40 μl of kinase solution to each well. Then 50 μl of co-factor solution were added to each well and the plate was incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature.
The plate was emptied (i.e. the contents were discarded) and was washed twice with PBS/T (250 μl per well), blotting dry between each wash. 100 μl of diluted anti-phosphotyrosine antibody were added per well and the plate was incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature.

Growth medium was carefully removed from each well using a multi-channel pipette. Wells were carefully rinsed three times with 200 μl with HBSS. 100 μl of starvation medium was added to each well and the plate was re-incubated for 24 hours.
Day 3
50 μl of a 4× concentrate of test compound was added to appropriate wells. Cells were incubated for 30 minutes with compound alone before the addition of IGF. For cells treated with IGF, an appropriate volume (i.e. 25 μl) of starvation medium was added to make a final volume per well up to 200 μl followed by 25 μl of IGF-1 at 160 ng/ml (to give a final concentration of 20 ng/ml). Control cells unstimulated with IGF also had an appropriate volume (i.e. 50 μl) of starvation medium added to make final volume per well up to 200 μl. The plate was re-incubated for 20 hours.
Day 4
The incorporation of BrdU in the cells (after a 4 h incorporation period) was assessed using the BrdU Cell Proliferation Elisa according to the manufacturer's protocol.
The compounds of the Examples were found to have an IC50 in the above test of less than 50 μM.

MCF-7 cells were plated out in a 24 well plate at 1×105 cells/well in 1 ml complete growth medium. The plate was incubated for 24 hours to allow the cells to settle. The medium was removed and the plate was washed gently 3 times with PBS 2 ml/well. 1 ml of starvation medium was added to each well and the plate was incubated for 24 hours to serum starve the cells.
Then 25 μl of each compound dilution was added and the cells and compound were incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. After 30 minutes incubation of the compound, 25 μl of IGF (for 20 ng/ml final concentration) or EGF (for 0.1 ng/ml final concentration) was added to each well as appropriate and the cells incubated with the IGF or EGF for 5 minutes at 37° C. The medium was removed (by pipetting) and then 100 μl of 2× Laemmli buffer was added. The plates were stored at 4° C. until the cells were harvested. (Harvesting should occur within 2 hours following addition of Laemmli buffer to the cells.)
To harvest the cells, a pipette was used to repeatedly draw up and expel the Laemmli buffer/cell mix and transfer into a 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube. The harvested cell lysates were kept at −20° C. until required. The protein concentration of each lysate could be determined using the DC protein assay kit (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA, according to manufacturer's instructions).
Western Blot Technique
Cell samples were made up with 4× sample buffer, syringed with a 21 gauge needle and boiled for 5 minutes. Samples were loaded at equal volumes and a molecular weight ladder on 4-12% Bis-Tris gels (Invitrogen BV, The Netherlands) and the gels were run in an Xcell SureLockTM Mini-Cell apparatus (Invitrogen) with the solutions provided and according to the manufacturer's instructions. The gels were blotted onto Hybond C ExtraTM membrane (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech UK Ltd.) for 1 hour at 30 volts in the Xcell SureLockTM Mini-Cell apparatus, using Western transfer buffer. The blotted membranes were stained with 0.1% Ponceau S to visualise transferred proteins and then cut into strips horizontally for multiple antibody incubations according to the molecular weight standards. Separate strips were used for detection of IGF-1R, Akt, MAPK and actin control.
The membranes were blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in PBST+5% milk solution. The membranes were then placed into 3 ml primary antibody solution in 4 well plates and the plates were incubated overnight at 4° C. The membranes were washed in 5 ml PBST, 3 times for 5 minutes each wash. The HRP-conjugated secondary antibody solution was prepared and 5 ml was added per membrane. The membranes were incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with agitation. The membranes were washed in 5 ml PBST, 3 times for 5 minutes each wash. The ECL solution (SuperSignal ECL, Pierce, Perbio Science UK Ltd) was prepared and incubated with the membranes for 1 minute (according to manufacturer's instructions), followed by exposure to light sensitive film and development.
