## Background
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is a U.S. National Phase application under 35 U.S.C. §371 of PCT Application No. PCT/CN2013/001132, filed Sep. 24, 2013, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/707,246, filed Sep. 28, 2012.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (Syk) is a protein tyrosine kinase which has been described as a key mediator of immunoreceptor signaling in a host of inflammatory cells including mast cells, B-cells, macrophages and neutrophils. These immunoreceptors, including Fc receptors and the B-cell receptor, are important for both allergic diseases and antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases and thus pharmacologically interfering with Syk could conceivably treat these disorders.
Allergic rhinitis and asthma are diseases associated with hypersensitivity reactions and inflammatory events involving a multitude of cell types including mast cells, eosinophils, T cells and dendritic cells. Following exposure to allergen, high affinity immunoglobulin receptors for IgE and IgG become cross-linked and activate downstream processes in mast cells and other cell types leading to the release of pro-inflammatory mediators and airway spasmogens. In the mast cell, for example, IgE receptor cross-linking by allergen leads to release of mediators including histamine from pre-formed granules, as well as the synthesis and release of newly synthesized lipid mediators including prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
Syk kinase is a non-receptor linked tyrosine kinase which is important in transducing the downstream cellular signals associated with cross-linking FcepsilonR1 and or FcepsilonR1 receptors, and is positioned early in the signaling cascade. In mast cells, for example, the early sequence of FcepsilonR1 signaling following allergen cross-linking of receptor-IgE complexes involves first Lyn (a Src family tyrosine kinase) and then Syk Inhibitors of Syk activity would therefore be expected to inhibit all downstream signaling cascades thereby alleviating the immediate allergic response and adverse events initiated by the release of pro-inflammatory mediators and spasmogens (Wong et al 2004, Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs (2004) 13 (7) 743-762).
Recently, it has been shown that the Syk kinase inhibitor R112 (Rigel), dosed intranasally in a phase I/II study for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, gave a statistically significant decrease in PGD2, a key immune mediator that is highly correlated with improvements in allergic rhinorrhea, as well as being safe across a range of indicators, thus providing the first evidence for the clinical safety and efficacy of a topical Syk kinase inhibitor. (Meltzer, Eli O.; Berkowitz, Robert B.; Grossbard, Elliott B, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (2005), 115(4), 791-796). In a more recent phase II clinical trial for allergic rhinitis (Clinical Trials.gov Identifier NCT0015089), R112 was shown as having a lack of efficacy versus placebo.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an auto-immune disease affecting approximately 1% of the population. It is characterised by inflammation of articular joints leading to debilitating destruction of bone and cartilage. Recent clinical studies with Rituximab, which causes a reversible B cell depletion, (J. C. W. Edwards et al 2004, New Eng. J. Med. 350: 2572-2581) have shown that targeting B cell function is an appropriate therapeutic strategy in auto-immune diseases such as RA. Clinical benefit correlates with a reduction in auto-reactive antibodies (or Rheumatoid Factor) and these studies suggest that B cell function and indeed auto-antibody production are central to the ongoing pathology in the disease.
Studies using cells from mice deficient in the Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (Syk) have demonstrated a non-redundant role of this kinase in B cell function. The deficiency in Syk is characterised by a block in B cell development (M. Turner et al 1995 Nature 379: 298-302 and Cheng et al 1995, Nature 378: 303-306). These studies, along with studies on mature B cells deficient in Syk (Kurasaki et al 2000, Immunol. Rev. 176:19-29), demonstrate that Syk is required for the differentiation and activation of B cells. Hence, inhibition of Syk in RA patients is likely to block B cell function and thereby reduce Rheumatoid Factor production. In addition to the role of Syk in B cell function, and of further relevance to the treatment of RA, is the requirement for Syk activity in Fc receptor (FcR) signaling. FcR activation by immune complexes in RA has been suggested to contribute to the release of multiple pro-inflammatory mediators.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,803,801 discloses Syk inhibitors having the formula:




wherein the variables are as defined therein.

The present invention relates to novel compounds, which are inhibitors of Syk kinase activity. These compounds therefore have potential therapeutic benefit in the treatment of disorders associated with inappropriate Syk activity, in particular in the treatment and prevention of disease states mediated by Syk. Such disease states may include inflammatory, allergic and autoimmune diseases, for example, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), ulcerative colitis, Crohns disease, bronchitis, dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, psoriasis, scleroderma, urticaria, rheumatoid arthritis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), multiple sclerosis, cancer, HIV and lupus.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides novel compounds that are potent inhibitors of Syk as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing them. As Syk inhibitors compounds of the present invention are useful in the treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders mediated by the Syk protein; such diseases and disorders include, but are not limited to, asthma, COPD, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

“Cycloalkyl” refers to a saturated ring containing the specified number of ring carbon atoms, and no heteroatom. In a like manner the term “C3-6 cycloalkyl” refers to a saturated ring having from 3 to 6 ring carbon atoms. Exemplary “cycloalkyl” groups useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl. The carbocyclyl may be optionally be substituted with one or more substituents selected from oxo, halo, hydroxyl, C1-C3-alkyl, C2-C6-alkenyl, C1-C3-alkoxyl, (CRaRb)nCO2Rc; (CRaRb)nCONRdRe; (CHRa)nNHCONRdRe.
“Halogen” or “halo” refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine.
“Haloalkyl” refers to an alkyl group as defined above in which one and up to all hydrogen atoms are replaced by a halogen; halogen is as defined herein. Examples of such branched or straight chained haloalkyl groups useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, isobutyl and n-butyl substituted independently with one or more halos, e.g., fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. Examples of “haloalkyl” include, but are not limited to, fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, 1-fluoroethyl, 2-fluoroethyl, 2,2-difluoroethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, and perfluoro-n-propyl.
“Hydroxyalkyl” refers to an alkyl group as defined above in which one hydrogen on each carbon atom may be replaced by a hydroxy group. Examples of “hydroxyalkyl” include, but are not limited to, hydroxymethyl, hydroxyethyl, propane-1,2-diol.
“Heterocyclyl” refers to a 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-membered monocyclic ring or 8-, 9-, 10-membered bicyclic ring, or 13- or 14-membered tricyclic ring, saturated, unsaturated or aromatic, containing 1, 2, 3 or 4 heteroatoms selected from O, N. or S, the heterocyclyl may optionally be substituted with one to four substituents selected from oxo, halo, hydroxyl, C1-C3-alkyl, C2-C6-alkenyl, C1-C3-alkoxyl, (CRaRb)nCO2Rc; (CRaRb)nCONRdRe; (CHRa)nNHCONRdRe; (CHRa)p—C(O)-heterocyclyl; and heterocycles having a N-atom may by the point of attachment. Representative heterocycles are: azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrrolyl, tetrahydrofuran, imidazolyl, imidazolinyl, 1,3-oxazolidinyl, 1,2-oxazolidinyl, isoxazolyl, 1,2,4-oxadiazolyl, 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl, tetrahydropyranyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrrolopyrazine, pyrrolopyridine, and indolyl.
The term “composition”, as in pharmaceutical composition, is intended to encompass a product comprising the active ingredient(s), and the inert ingredient(s) (pharmaceutically acceptable excipients) that make up the carrier, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combination, complexation or aggregation of any two or more of the ingredients, or from dissociation of one or more of the ingredients, or from other types of reactions or interactions of one or more of the ingredients. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention encompass any composition made by admixing a compound of formula I, and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
As used herein, the term “optionally” means that the subsequently described event(s) may or may not occur, and includes both event(s), which occur, and events that do not Occur.
As used herein, the term “substituted with one or more groups” refers to substitution with the named substituent or substituents, multiple degrees of substitution, up to replacing all hydrogen atoms with the same or different substituents, being allowed unless the number of substituents is explicitly stated. Where the number of substituents is not explicitly stated, one or more is intended.
Each variable is independently defined each time it occurs within the generic structural formula definitions. For example, when an alkyl is indicated as substituted (or optionally substituted) with more than one substituent, each substituent is independently selected at each occurrence, and each substituent can be the same or different from the other(s).
The term “Syk inhibitor”, is used to mean a compound which inhibits the Syk enzyme.
The term “Syk mediated disease” or a “disorder or disease or condition mediated by inappropriate Syk activity” is used to mean any disease state mediated or modulated by Syk kinase mechanisms. Such disease states may include inflammatory, allergic and autoimmune diseases, for example, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDs), ulcerative colitis, Crohns disease, bronchitis, dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, psorasis, scleroderma, urticaria, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, cancer, HIV and lupus, in particular, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDs), allergic rhinitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
As used herein, “a compound of the invention” means a compound of Formula I or a salt, solvate or physiologically functional derivative thereof.
As used herein, the term “solvate” refers to a complex of variable stoichiometry formed by a solute (in this invention, a compound of Formula I, or a salt thereof) and a solvent. Such solvents for the purpose of the invention may not interfere with the biological activity of the solute. Examples of suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, acetone, methanol, ethanol and acetic acid. Preferably the solvent used is a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent. Examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable solvents include water, ethanol and acetic acid. Most preferably the solvent is water.
As used herein, the term “physiologically functional derivative” refers to a compound (e.g., a drug precursor) that is transformed in vivo to yield a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or solvate of the compound. The transformation may occur by various mechanisms (e.g., by metabolic or chemical processes), such as, for example, through hydrolysis in blood. Prodrugs are such derivatives, and a discussion of the use of prodrugs is provided by T. Higuchi and W. Stella, “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987.
The compounds of Formula I may have the ability to crystallize in more than one form, a characteristic known as polymorphism, and it is understood that such polymorphic forms (“polymorphs”) are within the scope of Formula I. Polymorphism generally can occur as a response to changes in temperature or pressure or both and can also result from variations in the crystallization process. Polymorphs can be distinguished by various physical characteristics known in the art such as x-ray diffraction patterns, solubility and melting point.
The compounds of Formula I may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and, therefore, exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of Formula I as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention. Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Enantiomers can also be separated by chromatography employing columns with a chiral stationary phase. Also, some of the compounds of Formula I may be atropisomers (e.g., substituted biaryls) and are considered as part of this invention.
It is also noted that the compounds of Formula I may form tautomers. It is understood that all tautomers and mixtures of tautomers of the compounds of the present invention are included within the scope of the compounds of the present invention. Some of the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds, and unless specified otherwise, are meant to include both E and Z geometric isomers.
Whilst the embodiments for each variable have generally been listed above separately for each variable, this invention also includes those compounds in which several or each embodiment in Formula I is selected from each of the embodiments listed above. Therefore, this invention is intended to include all combinations of embodiments for each variable.
The compounds of the present invention may be in the form of and/or may be administered as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. For a review on suitable salts see Berge et al, J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, 1-19. Typically, the salts of the present invention are pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Salts encompassed within the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to non-toxic salts of the compounds of this invention. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts can include acid or base additions salts.
A pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt can be formed by reaction of a compound of Formula I with a suitable inorganic or organic acid (such as hydrobromic, hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, phosphoric, succinic, maleic, formic, acetic, propionic, fumaric, citric, tartaric, lactic, benzoic, salicylic, glutamic, aspartic, p-toluenesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, naphthalenesulfonic such as 2-naphthalenesulfonic, or hexanoic acid), optionally in a suitable solvent such as an organic solvent, to give the salt which is usually isolated, for example, by crystallisation and filtration. A pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt of a compound of Formula I can comprise or be, for example, a hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate, succinate, maleate, formate, acetate, propionate, fumarate, citrate, tartrate, lactate, benzoate, salicylate, glutamate, aspartate, p-toluenesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, naphthalenesulfonate (e.g., 2-naphthalenesulfonate) or hexanoate salt.
A pharmaceutically acceptable base salt can be formed by reaction of a compound of Formula I with a suitable inorganic or organic base. Salts derived from inorganic bases include aluminum, ammonium, calcium, copper, ferric, ferrous, lithium, magnesium, manganic salts, manganous, potassium, sodium, zinc, and the like. Particularly preferred are the ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium salts. Salts derived from pharmaceutically acceptable organic non-toxic bases include salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, and basic ion exchange resins, such as arginine, betaine, caffeine, choline, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, diethylamine, 2-diethylaminoethanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-ethyl-morpholine, N-ethyl-piperidine, glucamine, glucosamine, histidine, hydrabamine, isopropylamine, lysine, methylglucamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tripropylamine, tromethamine, and the like.
Other, non-pharmaceutically acceptable, salts, e.g., oxalates or trifluoroacetates, may also be used, for example, in the isolation of compounds of the invention, and are included within the scope of this invention.
The invention includes within its scope all possible stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric forms of the compounds of Formula I.
In the compounds of Formula I, the atoms may exhibit their natural isotopic abundances, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched in a particular isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number predominantly found in nature. The present invention is meant to include all suitable isotopic variations of the compounds of generic Formula I. For example, different isotopic forms of hydrogen (H) include protium (1H) and deuterium (2H). Protium is the predominant hydrogen isotope found in nature. Enriching for deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages, such as increasing in vivo half-life or reducing dosage requirements, or may provide a compound useful as a standard for characterization of biological samples. Isotopically-enriched compounds within generic Formula I can be prepared without undue experimentation by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Schemes and Examples herein using appropriate isotopically-enriched reagents and/or intermediates
The compounds of Formula I and salts, solvates and physiologically functional derivatives thereof are believed to be inhibitors of Syk activity, and thus be potentially useful in the treatment of diseases and conditions associated with inappropriate Syk activity.

The invention thus provides compounds of Formula I and salts, solvates and physiologically functional derivatives thereof for use in therapy, and particularly in the treatment of diseases and conditions mediated by inappropriate Syk activity. The inappropriate Syk activity referred to herein is any Syk activity that deviates from the normal Syk activity expected in a particular mammalian subject. Inappropriate Syk activity may take the form of, for instance, an abnormal increase in activity, or an aberration in the timing and or control of Syk activity. Such inappropriate activity may result then, for example, from overexpression or mutation of the protein kinase leading to inappropriate or uncontrolled activation.
In a further embodiment, the present invention is directed to methods of regulating, modulating, or inhibiting Syk for the prevention and/or treatment of disorders related to unregulated Syk activity.
In a further embodiment, the present invention provides a method of treatment of a mammal suffering from a disorder mediated by Syk activity, which comprises administering to said mammal an effective amount of a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or a physiologically functional derivative thereof.
In a further embodiment, the present invention provides for the use of a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, or a physiologically functional derivative thereof, in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a disorder mediated by Syk activity.
In a further embodiment said disorder mediated by Syk activity is asthma. In a further embodiment said disorder is rheumatoid arthritis. In yet another embodiment, said disorder is cancer. In a further embodiment said disorder is ocular conjunctivitis.
Yet another aspect of the present invention provides a method for treating diseases caused by or associated with Fc receptor signaling cascades, including FceRI and/or FcgRI-mediated degranulation as a therapeutic approach towards the treatment or prevention of diseases characterized by, caused by and/or associated with the release or synthesis of chemical mediators of such Fc receptor signaling cascades or degranulation. In addition, Syk is known to play a critical role in immunotyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) signaling, B cell receptor signaling, T cell receptor signaling and is an essential component of integrin beta (1), beta (2), and beta (3) signaling in neutrophils. Thus, compounds of the present invention can be used to regulate Fc receptor, ITAM, B cell receptor and integrin signaling cascades, as well as the cellular responses elicited through these signaling cascades. Non-limiting examples of cellular responses that may be regulated or inhibited include respiratory burst, cellular adhesion, cellular degranulation, cell spreading, cell migration, phagocytosis, calcium ion flux, platelet aggregation and cell maturation.
While it is possible that, for use in therapy, a compound of Formula I, as well as salts, solvates and physiological functional derivatives thereof, may be administered as the raw chemical, it is possible to present the active ingredient as a pharmaceutical composition. Accordingly, the invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition, which comprises a compound of Formula I and salts, solvates and physiological functional derivatives thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. The compounds of the Formula I and salts, solvates and physiological functional derivatives thereof, are as described above. The carrier(s), diluent(s) or excipient(s) must be acceptable in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. In accordance with another aspect of the invention there is also provided a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition including admixing a compound of the Formula I, or salts, solvates and physiological functional derivatives thereof, with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be presented in unit dose forms containing a predetermined amount of active ingredient per unit dose. Such a unit may contain, for example, 5 μg to 3 g, preferably 1 mg to 700 mg, more preferably 5 mg to 100 mg of a compound of the Formula I, depending on the condition being treated, the route of administration and the age, weight and condition of the patient. Such unit doses may therefore be administered more than once a day. Preferred unit dosage compositions are those containing a daily dose or sub-dose (for administration more than once a day), as herein above recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of an active ingredient. Furthermore, such pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the pharmacy art.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be adapted for administration by any appropriate route, for example by the oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, topical, inhaled, nasal, ocular, or parenteral (including intravenous and intramuscular) route. Such compositions may be prepared by any method known in the art of pharmacy, for example by bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier(s) or excipient(s). Dosage forms include tablets, troches, dispersions, suspensions, solutions, capsules, creams, ointments, aerosols, and the like.
In a further embodiment, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition adapted for administration by the oral route, for treating, for example, rheumatoid arthritis.
In a further embodiment, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition adapted for administration by the nasal route, for treating, for example, allergic rhinitis.
In a further embodiment, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition adapted for administration by the inhaled route, for treating, for example, asthma, COPD or ARDS.
In a further embodiment, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition adapted for administration by the ocular route, for treating, diseases of the eye, for example, conjunctivitis.
In a further embodiment, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition adapted for administration by the parenteral (including intravenous) route, for treating, for example, cancer.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention which are adapted for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules or tablets; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or whips; or oil-in-water liquid emulsions or water-in-oil liquid emulsions.
For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral, non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water and the like. Powders are prepared by comminuting the compound to a suitable fine size and mixing with a similarly comminuted pharmaceutical carrier such as an edible carbohydrate, as, for example, starch or mannitol. Flavoring, preservative, dispersing and coloring agent can also be present.
Capsules are made by preparing a powder mixture, as described above, and filling formed gelatin sheaths. Glidants and lubricants such as colloidal silica, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate or solid polyethylene glycol can be added to the powder mixture before the filling operation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate can also be added to improve the availability of the medicament when the capsule is ingested.
Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum and the like. Tablets are formulated, for example, by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant and pressing into tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound, suitably comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above, and optionally, with a binder such as carboxymethylcellulose, an aliginate, gelatin, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a solution retardant such as paraffin, a resorption accelerator such as a quaternary salt and/or an absorption agent such as bentonite, kaolin or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by wetting with a binder such as syrup, starch paste, acacia mucilage or solutions of cellulosic or polymeric materials and forcing through a screen. As an alternative to granulating, the powder mixture can be run through the tablet machine and the result is imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules can be lubricated to prevent sticking to the tablet forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The compounds of the present invention can also be combined with a free flowing inert carrier and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear or opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar or polymeric material and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different unit dosages.
Oral fluids such as solution, syrups and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of the compound. Syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound in a suitably flavored aqueous solution, while elixirs are prepared through the use of a non-toxic alcoholic vehicle. Suspensions can be formulated by dispersing the compound in a non-toxic vehicle. Solubilizers and emulsifiers such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxy ethylene sorbitol ethers, preservatives, flavor additive such as peppermint oil or natural sweeteners or saccharin or other artificial sweeteners, and the like can also be added.
Where appropriate, dosage unit compositions for oral administration can be microencapsulated. The formulation can also be prepared to prolong or sustain the release, for example, by coating or embedding particulate material in polymers, wax or the like.
The compounds of Formula I, and salts, solvates and physiological functional derivatives thereof, can also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine or phosphatidylcholines.
The compounds of Formula I and salts, solvates and physiological functional derivatives thereof may also be delivered by the use of monoclonal antibodies as individual carriers to which the compound molecules are coupled. The compounds may also be coupled with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer, polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamide-phenol, polyhydroxyethylaspartamidephenol, or polyethyleneoxidepolylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for example, polylactic acid, polyepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates and cross-linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.
Dosage forms for inhaled administration may conveniently be formulated as aerosols or dry powders.
For compositions suitable and/or adapted for inhaled administration, it is preferred that the compound or salt of Formula I is in a particle-size-reduced form, and more preferably the size-reduced form is obtained or obtainable by micronisation. The preferable particle size of the size-reduced (e.g., micronised) compound or salt or solvate is defined by a D50 value of about 0.5 to about 10 microns (for example as measured using laser diffraction).
Aerosol formulations, e.g., for inhaled administration, can comprise a solution or fine suspension of the active substance in a pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous or non-aqueous solvent. Aerosol formulations can be presented in single or multidose quantities in sterile form in a sealed container, which can take the form of a cartridge or refill for use with an atomising device or inhaler. Alternatively the sealed container may be a unitary dispensing device such as a single dose nasal inhaler or an aerosol dispenser fitted with a metering valve (metered dose inhaler) which is intended for disposal once the contents of the container have been exhausted.
Where the dosage form comprises an aerosol dispenser, it preferably contains a suitable propellant under pressure such as compressed air, carbon dioxide or an organic propellant such as a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC). Suitable HFC propellants include 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane. The aerosol dosage forms can also take the form of a pump-atomiser. The pressurised aerosol may contain a solution or a suspension of the active compound. This may require the incorporation of additional excipients e.g., co-solvents and/or surfactants to improve the dispersion characteristics and homogeneity of suspension formulations. Solution formulations may also require the addition of co-solvents such as ethanol. Other excipient modifiers may also be incorporated to improve, for example, the stability and/or taste and/or fine particle mass characteristics (amount and/or profile) of the formulation.
For pharmaceutical compositions suitable and/or adapted for inhaled administration, it is preferred that the pharmaceutical composition is a dry powder inhalable composition. Such a composition can comprise a powder base such as lactose, glucose, trehalose, mannitol or starch, the compound of Formula I or salt or solvate thereof (preferably in particle-size-reduced form, e.g., in micronised form), and optionally a performance modifier such as L-leucine or another amino acid, and/or metals salts of stearic acid such as magnesium or calcium stearate. Preferably, the dry powder inhalable composition comprises a dry powder blend of lactose and the compound of Formula I or salt thereof. The lactose is preferably lactose hydrate e.g., lactose monohydrate and/or is preferably inhalation-grade and/or fine-grade lactose. Preferably, the particle size of the lactose is defined by 90% or more (by weight or by volume) of the lactose particles being less than 1000 microns (micrometers) (e.g., 10-1000 microns e.g., 30-1000 microns) in diameter, and/or 50% or more of the lactose particles being less than 500 microns (e.g., 10-500 microns) in diameter. More preferably, the particle size of the lactose is defined by 90% or more of the lactose particles being less than 300 microns (e.g., 10-300 microns e.g., 50-300 microns) in diameter, and/or 50% or more of the lactose particles being less than 100 microns in diameter. Optionally, the particle size of the lactose is defined by 90% or more of the lactose particles being less than 100-200 microns in diameter, and/or 50% or more of the lactose particles being less than 40-70 microns in diameter. It is preferable that about 3 to about 30% (e.g., about 10%) (by weight or by volume) of the particles are less than 50 microns or less than 20 microns in diameter. For example, without limitation, a suitable inhalation-grade lactose is E9334 lactose (10% fines) (Borculo Domo Ingredients, Hanzeplein 25, 8017 J D Zwolle, Netherlands).
Optionally, in particular for dry powder inhalable compositions, a pharmaceutical composition for inhaled administration can be incorporated into a plurality of sealed dose containers (e.g., containing the dry powder composition) mounted longitudinally in a strip or ribbon inside a suitable inhalation device. The container is rupturable or peel-openable on demand and the dose of e.g., the dry powder composition can be administered by inhalation via the device such as the DISKUS® device (GlaxoSmithKline). Other dry powder inhalers are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, and many such devices are commercially available, with representative devices including Aerolizer® (Novartis), AirmaxTM (IVAX), ClickHaler® (Innovata Biomed), Diskhaler® (GlaxoSmithKline), Accuhaler (GlaxoSmithKline), Easyhaler® (Orion Pharma), EclipseTM (Aventis), FlowCaps® (Hovione), Handihaler® (Boehringer Ingelheim), Pulvinal® (Chiesi), Rotahaler® (GlaxoSmithKline), SkyeHalerTM or CertihalerTM (SkyePharma), Twisthaler® (Schering-Plough), Turbuhaler® (AstraZeneca), Ultrahaler® (Aventis), and the like.
Dosage forms for ocular administration may be formulated as solutions or suspensions with excipients suitable for ophthalmic use.
Dosage forms for nasal administration may conveniently be formulated as aerosols, solutions, drops, gels or dry powders.
Pharmaceutical compositions adapted for administration by inhalation include fine particle dusts or mists, which may be generated by means of various types of metered, dose pressurised aerosols, nebulizers or insufflators.
For pharmaceutical compositions suitable and/or adapted for intranasal administration, the compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof may be formulated as a fluid formulation for delivery from a fluid dispenser. Such fluid dispensers may have, for example, a dispensing nozzle or dispensing orifice through which a metered dose of the fluid formulation is dispensed upon the application of a user-applied force to a pump mechanism of the fluid dispenser. Such fluid dispensers are generally provided with a reservoir of multiple metered doses of the fluid formulation, the doses being dispensable upon sequential pump actuations. The dispensing nozzle or orifice may be configured for insertion into the nostrils of the user for spray dispensing of the fluid formulation into the nasal cavity. A fluid dispenser of the aforementioned type is described and illustrated in WO-A-2005/044354, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. The dispenser has a housing which houses a fluid discharge device having a compression pump mounted on a container for containing a fluid formulation. The housing has at least one finger-operable side lever which is movable inwardly with respect to the housing to cam the container upwardly in the housing to cause the pump to compress and pump a metered dose of the formulation out of a pump stem through a nasal nozzle of the housing. A particularly preferred fluid dispenser is of the general type illustrated in FIGS. 30-40 of WO-A-2005/044354.

It will be appreciated that when the compound of the present invention is administered in combination with other therapeutic agents normally administered by the inhaled, intravenous, oral or intranasal route, that the resultant pharmaceutical composition may be administered by the same routes.
It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the compositions may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavouring agents.
A therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention will depend upon a number of factors including, for example, the age and weight of the animal, the precise condition requiring treatment and its severity, the nature of the formulation, and the route of administration, and will ultimately be at the discretion of the attendant physician or veterinarian. However, an effective amount of a compound of Formula I for the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with inappropriate Syk activity, will generally be in the range of 5 μg to 100 mg/kg body weight of recipient (mammal) per day and more usually in the range of 5 μg to 10 mg/kg body weight per day. This amount may be given in a single dose per day or more usually in a number (such as two, three, four, five or six) of sub-doses per day such that the total daily dose is the same. An effective amount of a salt or solvate, thereof, may be determined as a proportion of the effective amount of the compound of Formula I per se.

Syk inhibition may be determined using the following assay protocol:
Biological Assay
Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) assay for the recombinant human Syk enzyme: A recombinant GST-hSyk fusion protein was used to measure potency of compounds to inhibit human Syk activity. The recombinant human GST-Syk (Carna Biosciences #08-176) (5 pM final concentration) was incubated with various concentrations of the inhibitor diluted in DMSO (0.1% final concentration) for 10 minutes at room temperature in 15 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.01% tween 20, 2 mM DTT in 384 well plate format. To initiate the reaction the biotinylated substrate peptide (250 nM final concentration) that contains the phosphorylation site for Syk was added with magnesium (5 mM final concentration) and ATP (25 μM final concentration). Final volume of the reaction was 10 μL. Phosphorylation of the peptide was allowed to proceed for 45 minutes at room temperature. To quench the reaction and detect the phosphorylated product, 2 nM of a Europium-anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (Perkin Elmer #AD0161) and 70 nM SA-APC (Perkin-Elmer #CR130-100) were added together in 15 mM Tris pH 7.5, 40 mM EDTA, 0.01% tween 20. Final volume of the quenching solution was 10 μL. The resulting HTRF signal was measured after 30 minutes on an EnVision (Perkin-Elmer) reader using a time-resolved fluorescence protocol. IC50 was determined following 10-dose titration (10 μM to 0.508 nM) and four parameter logistic curve fitting using the Merck Assay Data Analyzer. IC50 values (in nM) are provided for the following compounds:

The compounds of this invention may be made by a variety of methods, including standard chemistry. Any previously defined variable will continue to have the previously defined meaning unless otherwise indicated. Illustrative general synthetic methods are set out below and then specific compounds of the invention are prepared in the Examples.
Compounds of general Formula I may be prepared by methods known in the art of organic synthesis as set forth in part by the following synthesis schemes. In all of the schemes described below, it is well understood that protecting groups for sensitive or reactive groups are employed where necessary in accordance with general principles of chemistry. Protecting groups are manipulated according to standard methods of organic synthesis (T. W. Green and P. G. M. Wuts (1991) Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons). These groups are removed at a convenient stage of the compound synthesis using methods that are readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The selection of protecting groups as well as the reaction conditions and order of reaction steps shall be consistent with the preparation of compounds of Formula I. Those skilled in the art will recognize if a stereocenter exists in compounds of Formula I. Accordingly, the present invention includes all possible stereoisomers and includes not only mixtures of stereoisomers (such as racemic compounds) but the individual stereoisomers as well. When a compound is desired as a single enantiomer, it may be obtained by stereospecific or stereoselective synthesis or by resolution of the final product or any convenient intermediate. Resolution of the final product, an intermediate, or a starting material may be affected by any suitable method known in the art. See, for example, Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds by E. L. Eliel, S. H. Wilen, and L. N. Mander (Wiley-Interscience, 1994).

Reaction of substituted-aryl amines 1 with aryl chlorides 2 in the presence of Pd catalyst affords compound 3. Compounds of formula 3 may also be obtained by reacting chloropyrimidines 5 with anilines 6. reaction of 3 with trimethylsilylacetylene in the presence of Pd catalyst affords acetylene 4.




Acetylene 4 can be reacted in a variety of manners. Compounds of formula 7 can be prepared via click chemistry of 4 with an azide. Mesylate or halide displacement with sodium azide followed by click chemistry affords compounds 8 or 11, respectively. Alternatively, click chemistry with a tetrazole affords compounds 9. Reaction of acetylene 4 with azides prepared in situ, by reaction of an amine with triflic azide, yields compound 10 while reaction of 4 with epoxides in the presence of sodium azide affords compounds 12.




Hydrolysis of esters 13 affords carboxylic acid 14 which can be directly converted to the amide 15 by coupling with amines. Alternatively, esterification by reaction with diazomethane affords methyl esters 16.




Anilines 17 reacted with halo-pyridines affords compound 18.




Dihydroxylation of the olefin 19 leads to diol 20. Olefin 19 can be prepared from ketone 21 along with other methods described in Scheme 2.




Compounds 23 are prepared by azido-Schmidt reaction of 22.




Compounds 25 are be prepared by reduction of nitrile with hydrogen peroxide.




Alcohols 27 and 29 are prepared by reduction from the corresponding ketones, 26 or 28.




Click chemistry with aryl azides 30 affords substituted triazoles 31.




Compounds of formula 33 are prepared by reaction of formamides with acyl hydrazides 32.




Acid deprotection of 34 affords compounds 35.




Reaction of bromide 36 with zinc cyanide affords nitrile 37. Condensation of 37 with hydrazide, followed by further condensation with 4-methoxy-4-oxobutanoic acid affords 39.




As shown in Scheme 13, compounds of structural subtype (A) are prepared from the trans-cyclohexane carboxylic acid (A1) by a Mitsunobu reaction with various primary and secondary alcohols. Compounds of structural subtype (B) are prepared by the alkylation of the trans-cyclohexane carboxylic acid (A1) by alkyl halides of formula (B1). Compounds of structural subtype (C) are prepared by the alkylation of the trans-cyclohexane carboxylic acid (A1) by alkyl halides of formula (C1).




As shown in Scheme 14, compounds of structural subtype (D) are prepared by the reaction of (A1) with trimethylsilyldiazomethane and methanol.
The suitability of the compounds of Formula I as prodrugs of Syk inhibitors can be tested as described below.
Hydrolysis Assay
Analysis of Hydrolysis of Prodrug to Parent Species




The stability of prodrugs is investigated in human liver S9 microsomes. Incubations of prodrugs (10 μM) with liver S9 (1 mg protein/mL) are carried out at 37° C. in a phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 1 mM NADPH. Control incubations contain BSA (1.1 mg/mL) instead of liver S9 microsomes. Aliquots are removed at 0, 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min, treat with 4 volumes of acetonitrile containing 2% formic acid and an internal standard, and centrifuge. The supernatants are analyzed by LC-MS/MS for prodrug disappearance and appearance of active drug. The half-life of the prodrug is calculated from the % prodrug remaining at different time points calculated from on the peak area ratio relative to t=0. The amount of active drug generated at the different time points is determined using a standard curve.

Preparative Example 2.1
N-(3-Ethynyl-5-methylphenyl)-4-(trifluoromethylthyrimidin-2-amine




Step 1:

N-(3-Bromo-5-methylphenyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-amine (14.7 g, 44.2 mmol) was added to a round bottom flask along with Pd(OAc)2 (0.744 g, 3.31 mmol), and tri-o-tolylphosphine (2.02 g, 6.63 mmol) suspended in N2 sparged acetonitrile (0.3 M). Trimethylsilylacetylene (10.9 g, 110 mmol) and diisopropylamine (13.4 g, 133 mmol) were then added. The reaction flask was evacuated and backfilled with N2 (3×) and was placed into a 75° C. oil bath for 3 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature the reaction was diluted with MTBE (100 mL) and water (50 mL). The aqueous and organic layers were separated and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (2×50 mL) and brine (50 mL). The organic phase was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (0 to 15% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford N-{3-methyl-5-[trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]phenyl}-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-amine.
Step 2:
Potassium carbonate (3.0 g, 21.6 mmol) was added to a suspension of N-{3-methyl-5-[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]phenyl}-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-amine (7.55 g, 21.6 mmol) in methanol (0.27M). The reaction was allowed to stir for 3 hours and was then filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The reaction residue was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The organic layers were separated, combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (0 to 20% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford N-(3-ethynyl-5-methylphenyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-amine. MS ESI calc'd. for C14H10F3N3 [M+H]+ 278. found 278.
The intermediates in the following table were prepared according to the method described for Preparative Example 2.1. Preparative Examples 2.17-2.20 only utilized step 1 from Example 2.1.

Step 1:

Racemic syn-methyl 5,5-dimethyl-1-oxaspiro[2.5]octane-6-carboxylate (300 mg, 1.51 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (2.2 mL) and water (0.28 mL) and treated with sodium azide (492 mg, 7.57 mmol) and ammonium chloride (178 mg, 3.33 mmol). The reaction stirred at 80° C. overnight. The crude reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, silica gel was added, and the slurry was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (5 to 40% EtOAc/isohexane) to afford racemic syn-methyl 4-(azidomethyl)-4-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylcyclohexanecarboxylate (275 mg, 1.14 mmol) as a colorless liquid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.67 (s, 3H), 3.20 (s, 2H), 2.12-2.10 (m, 2H), 1.76-1.75 (m, 1H), 1.67-1.58 (m, 1H), 1.53-1.49 (m, 1H), 1.32-1.20 (m, 2H), 1.12 (s, 3H), 1.01 (s, 3H).
Step 2:

The reaction was heated to 65° C. and stirred for 1.5 hours. The crude reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated ammonium chloride. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, silica gel was added, and the slurry was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (10 to 100% EtOAc/isohexane) to afford racemic syn methyl 4-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-4-((4-(3-methyl-5-((4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl)cyclohexanecarboxylate (101.9 mg, 0.197 mmol) as a white solid. MS ESI calcd. for C25H30F3N6O3 [M+H]+ 519. found 519.

Sodium hydroxide (1M in water, 1.02 mL, 1.02 mmol) was added and heated to 110° C. for 10 min in the microwave. The reaction was diluted with HCl (1 N) until the pH was adjusted to 3. The crude reaction mixture was diluted with IPA/CHCl3 (3:1) and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate. The aqueous layer was extracted with IPA/CHCl3 (3:1, 3×) and the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford racemic syn 4-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-4-((4-(3-methyl-5-((4-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (63.9 mg, 0.127 mmol) as a tan solid. MS ESI calcd. For C24H28F3N6O2 [M+H]+ 505. found 505. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 11.90 (s, 1H), 10.2 (s, 1H), 8.80 (d, J=4.8 Hz, 1H), 8.20 (s, 1H), 8.06 (s, 1H), 7.49 (s, 1H), 7.30 (s, 1H), 7.23 (d, J=4.9 Hz, 1H), 4.56 (s, 1H), 4.31 (d, J=4.2 Hz, 1H), 4.21 (s, 2H), 3.73 (d, J=4.1 Hz, 1H), 2.31 (s, 3H), 1.98 (s, 1H), 1.83 (d, J=9.9 Hz, 2H), 1.40 (d, J=13.0 Hz, 2H), 0.98 (s, 3H), 0.92 (s, 3H).
