No. 61/211,988, filed Apr. 6, 2009. The entire contents of each of the aforementioned applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Protein kinases have been the subject of extensive study in the search for new therapeutic agents in various diseases, for example, cancer. Protein kinases are known to mediate intracellular signal transduction by effecting a phosphoryl transfer from a nucleoside triphosphate to a protein acceptor that is involved in a signaling pathway. There are a number of kinases and pathways through which extracellular and other stimuli cause a variety of cellular responses to occur inside the cell.
The polo-like kinase (PLK) family of serine/threonine kinases comprises at least four known members: PLK1, PLK2 (also known as Snk), PLK3 (also known as Fnk or Prk) and PLK4 (also known as Sak). PLK4 is the least understood and most divergent member of the PLK family. The N-terminal catalytic domain of PLK4 has a different substrate specificity from that of PLK1-3. PLK4 also has a divergent C-terminus comprising only a single polo-box sequence, not the tandem PB sequences in PLK1-3, that appears to act as a homodimerization domain rather than a localization domain (Lowery et al., (2005) Oncogene 24: 248-259).
PLK4 is known to be involved in the control of mitotic entry and exit, and a regulator of centrosome duplication (Habedanck et al. Nature Cell Biology 7: 1140-1146, 2005). PLK4 transcripts increase from S through M phase, and the protein is ubiquitylated and destroyed by the anaphase promoting complex (APC) (Hudson et al. Curr. Biol. 11: 441-446, 2001; Fode et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 16: 4665-4672, 1996). PLK4 is required for late mitotic progression (Fode et al. PNAS. 91: 6388-6392, 1994; Hudson et al. Curr. Biol. 11: 441-446, 2001), cell survival and postgastrulation embryonic development (Hudson et al. Curr. Biol. 11: 441-446, 2001). PLK4 knockout mice are embryonic lethal (E7.5), with a marked increase in mitotic and apoptotic cells (Hudson et al. Curr. Biol. 11: 441-446, 2001). PLK4 is transcriptionally repressed by p53 (Li et al. Neoplasia 7: 312-323, 2005). This repression is likely mediated through the recruitment of histone deacetylase (HDAC) repressors and repression appears to contribute to p53-induced apoptosis (Li et al. Neoplasia 7: 312-323, 2005).
PLK4 has been reported to be overexpressed in colorectal tumors with expression reported as low in adjacent normal intestinal mucosa (Macmillian et al. Ann. Surg. Oncol. 8: 729-740, 2001). In addition, PLK4 mRNA has been reported to be overexpressed in some tumor cell lines (Hitoshi, et al., U.S. Patent Application No. US 2003/0027756). In addition, Applicants described overexpression of PLK4 in basal-like tumors in a co-pending U.S. Provisional Application No. 61,003,825, filed on Nov. 20, 2007 (the entire teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference). PLK4 has been reported to be overexpressed in colorectal tumors with expression reported as low in adjacent normal intestinal mucosa (Macmillian et al. Ann. Surg. Oncol. 8: 729-740, 2001). In addition, PLK4 mRNA has been reported to be overexpressed in some tumor cell lines (Hitoshi, et al., U.S. Patent Application No. US 2003/0027756). In addition, Applicants described overexpression of PLK4 in basal-like tumors in a co-pending U.S. Provisional Application No. 61,003,825, filed on Nov. 20, 2007 (the entire teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference).
The human papillomavirus (HPV-16) E7 oncoproteins are overexpressed in HPV-associated anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers. The E7 oncoprotein triggers centrosome overduplication through a pathway that involves the concurrent formation of multiple daughters at single maternal centrioles. The HPV-16 E7 oncoprotein has been used as a tool to dissect abnormal centriole biogenesis and several lines of evidence identify PLK4 as a crucial player in this process (Duensing et al Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 50: 741-747, 2009). In addition, an increased level of PLK4 transcription is found in keratinocytes stably expressing HPV-16 E7. The ability of HPV-16 E7 to upregulate PLK4 mRNA was found to depend on its ability to degrade the retinoblastoma (pRb) protein, suggesting a role of E2F-mediated gene transcription in deregulation of PLK4 (Korzeniewski et al, AACR Meeting, Washington, 2010, Abstr. 5354). These results identify PLK4 as a target for small molecule inhibition to prevent centriole abnormalities, mitotic infidelity and malignant progression in HPV-associated cancers.
Therefore, agents which inhibit a protein kinase, in particular PLK4, have the potential to treat cancer. There is a need for additional agents which can act as protein kinase inhibitors, in particular PLK4 inhibitors.

Tautomeric forms exist when a compound is a mixture of two or more structurally distinct compounds that are in rapid equilibrium. Certain compounds of the invention exist as tautomeric forms. For example, the following compound represented by Structural Formula (I′) or (I) include at least the following tautomeric forms:




It is to be understood that when one tautormeric form of a compound is depicted by name or structure, all tautomeric forms of the compound are included.

The compounds of the invention contain at least two chiral centers and a cyclopropane and, therefore, exist as stereoisomers, such as isomers about the cyclopropane (i.e., cis/trans isomers), enantiomers, and/or diastereomers. When compounds of the invention are depicted or named without indicating the stereochemistry, it is to be understood that both stereomerically pure forms (e.g., pure cis or pure trans, enantiomerically pure, or diastereomerically pure) and stereoisomeric mixtures are encompassed. For example, compounds represented by Structural Formula (I′) or (I) have “cis” and “trans” isomers shown below:




Ring A and Ring B are cis and





Ring A and Ring B are trans.

The language “Ring A and Ring B are cis” means Ring A and Ring B are both on the same side of the cyclopropane whereas the language “Ring A and Ring B are trans” means Ring A and Ring B are on different sides of the cyclopropane. Stereoisomers of the cis/trans variety are also referred to as geometric isomers. Accordingly, the compounds of the invention depicted by Structural Formula (I)-(XIII) include the pure cis isomer, the pure trans isomer, and mixtures thereof, including cis/trans mixtures enriched in the cis geometric isomer and cis/trans mixtures enriched in the trans geometric isomer. For example, Structural Formulas (Ia)-(XIIIa) and (Ib)-(XIIIb), depict a cis relationship between Ring A and B, whereas in, for example, Structural Formulas (Ic)-(XIIIc) and (Id)-(XIIId) the relationship between Ring A and B is trans. It is to be understood that both cis and trans forms of Structural Formulas (I)-(XIII) with respect to Rings A and B are encompassed within the invention.
When a geometric isomer is depicted by name or structure, it is to be understood that the geometric isomeric purity of the named or depicted geometric isomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% pure by weight. Geometric isomeric purity is determined by dividing the weight of the named or depicted geometric isomer in the mixture by the total weight of both geomeric isomers in the mixture.
Racemic mixture means 50% of one enantiomer and 50% of is corresponding enantiomer. The invention encompasses all enantiomerically-pure, enantiomerically-enriched, diastereomerically pure, diastereomerically enriched, and racemic mixtures, and diastereomeric mixtures of the compounds of the invention.
Enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures can be resolved into their component enantiomers or stereoisomers by well known methods, such as chiral-phase gas chromatography, chiral-phase high performance liquid chromatography, crystallizing the compound as a chiral salt complex, or crystallizing the compound in a chiral solvent. Enantiomers and diastereomers can also be obtained from diastereomerically- or enantiomerically-pure intermediates, reagents, and catalysts by well known asymmetric synthetic methods.
When a compound is designated by a name or structure that indicates a single enantiomer, unless indicated otherwise, the compound is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% optically pure (also referred to as “enantiomerically pure”). Optical purity is the weight in the mixture of the named or depicted enantiomer divided by the total weight in the mixture of both enantiomers.
When the stereochemistry of a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure, and the named or depicted structure encompasses more than one stereoisomer (e.g., as in a diastereomeric pair), it is to be understood that one of the encompassed stereoisomers or any mixture of the encompassed stereoisomers are included. It is to be further understood that the stereoisomeric purity of the named or depicted stereoisomers at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight. The stereoisomeric purity in this case is determined by dividing the total weight in the mixture of the stereoisomers encompassed by the name or structure by the total weight in the mixture of all of the stereoisomers.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of treating a subject with cancer comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound of the invention. In one embodiment, the compounds of the invention inhibit the growth of a tumor. Specifically, the compounds of the invention inhibit the growth of a tumor that overexpresses at least one of PLK, Aurora A, Aurora B, and FLT-3. More specifically, the compounds of the invention inhibit the growth of a tumor that overexpresses PLK, for example, PLK1, PLK2 and/or PLK4. Even more specifically, the compounds of the invention inhibit the growth of a tumor that overexpresses PLK4.

In yet another specific embodiment, the cancer is a breast cancer. In yet another specific embodiment, the cancer is a basal sub-type breast cancer or a luminal B sub-type breast cancer. In one embodiment, the basal sub-type breast cancer is ER (estrogen receptor), HER2 and PR (progesterone receptor) negative breast cancer. In yet another specific embodiment, the cancer is a soft tissue cancer. A “soft tissue cancer” is an art-recognized term that encompasses tumors derived from any soft tissue of the body. Such soft tissue connects, supports, or surrounds various structures and organs of the body, including, but not limited to, smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, tendons, fibrous tissues, fatty tissue, blood and lymph vessels, perivascular tissue, nerves, mesenchymal cells and synovial tissues. Thus, soft tissue cancers can be of fat tissue, muscle tissue, nerve tissue, joint tissue, blood vessels, lymph vessels, and fibrous tissues. Soft tissue cancers can be benign or malignant. Generally, malignant soft tissue cancers are referred to as sarcomas, or soft tissue sarcomas. There are many types of soft tissue tumors, including lipoma, lipoblastoma, hibernoma, liposarcoma, leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, neurofibroma, schwannoma (neurilemoma), neuroma, malignant schwannoma, neurofibrosarcoma, neurogenic sarcoma, nodular tenosynovitis, synovial sarcoma, hemangioma, glomus tumor, hemangiopericytoma, hemangioendothelioma, angiosarcoma, Kaposi sarcoma, lymphangioma, fibroma, elastofibroma, superficial fibromatosis, fibrous histiocytoma, fibrosarcoma, fibromatosis, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), myxoma, granular cell tumor, malignant mesenchymomas, alveolar soft-part sarcoma, epithelioid sarcoma, clear cell sarcoma, and desmoplastic small cell tumor. In a particular embodiment, the soft tissue cancer is a sarcoma selected from the group consisting of a fibrosarcoma, a gastrointestinal sarcoma, a leiomyosarcoma, a dedifferentiated liposarcoma, a pleomorphic liposarcoma, a malignant fibrous histiocytoma, a round cell sarcoma, and a synovial sarcoma.
The invention further relates to a method of treating a subject with tumor cells, comprising administering to the subject, an amount of a compound disclosed herein that is effective to reduce effectively PLK activity, such as PLK 2 or PLK4 activity, in the subject. In a specific embodiment, the PLK is PLK4.
The term a “effective amount” means an amount when administered to the subject which results in beneficial or desired results, including clinical results, e.g., reduces the likelihood of developing the cancer or inhibits, suppresses or reduces the cancer (e.g., as determined by clinical symptoms or the amount of cancer cells) in a subject as compared to a control. Specifically, “treating a subject with a cancer” includes achieving, partially or substantially, one or more of the following: arresting the growth or spread of a cancer, reducing the extent of a cancer (e.g., reducing size of a tumor or reducing the number of affected sites), inhibiting the growth rate of a cancer, and ameliorating or improving a clinical symptom or indicator associated with a cancer (such as tissue or serum components). It also reduces the likelihood of reoccurrence of the cancer.
Generally, an effective amount of a compound of the invention varies depending upon various factors, such as the given drug or compound, the pharmaceutical formulation, the route of administration, the type of disease or disorder, the identity of the subject or host being treated, and the like, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art. An effective amount of a compound of the present invention may be readily determined by one of ordinary skill by routine methods known in the art.
In an embodiment, an effective amount of a compound of the invention ranges from about 0.01 to about 1000 mg/kg body weight, alternatively about 0.05 to about 500 mg/kg body weight, alternatively about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg body weight, alternatively about 0.1 to about 15 mg/kg body weight, alternatively about 1 to about 5 mg/kg body weight, and in another alternative, from about 2 to about 3 mg/kg body weight. The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain factors may influence the dosage required to effectively treat a subject suffering from cancer and these factors include, but are not limited to, the severity of the disease or disorder, previous treatments, the general health and/or age of the subject and other diseases present.
Moreover, a “treatment” regime of a subject with an effective amount of the compound of the present invention may consist of a single administration, or alternatively comprise a series of applications. For example, the compound of the present invention may be administered at least once a week. However, in another embodiment, the compound may be administered to the subject from about one time per week to once daily for a given treatment. The length of the treatment period depends on a variety of factors, such as the severity of the disease, the age of the patient, the concentration and the activity of the compounds of the present invention, or a combination thereof. It will also be appreciated that the effective dosage of the compound used for the treatment or prophylaxis may increase or decrease over the course of a particular treatment or prophylaxis regime. Changes in dosage may result and become apparent by standard diagnostic assays known in the art. In some instances, chronic administration may be required.
As used herein, “treatment” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results, including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results can include, but are not limited to, alleviation or amelioration of one or more symptoms or conditions, diminishment of extent of disease, stabilized (i.e. not worsening) state of disease, reducing the likelihood of the spread of the disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable. “Treatment” can also mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. “Treatment” also includes reducing the likelihood of developing the disease or reducing the likelihood of reoccurrence of the disease.
A “subject” is a mammal, preferably a human, but can also be an animal in need of veterinary treatment, e.g., companion animals (e.g., dogs, cats, and the like), farm animals (e.g., cows, sheep, pigs, horses, and the like) and laboratory animals (e.g., rats, mice, guinea pigs, and the like).
In one embodiment, the method of the present invention is a mono-therapy where the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are administered alone. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the compound of the invention is the only pharmaceutically active ingredient in the pharmaceutical compositions or the only pharmaceutically active ingredient administered to the subject.
In another embodiment, the method of the invention is a co-therapy with one or more of other therapeutically active drugs or therapies known in the art for treating the desired diseases or indications. In one example, one or more other anti-proliferative or anticancer therapies are combined with the compounds of the invention. In another example, the compounds disclosed herein are co-administered with one or more of other anticancer drugs known in the art. Anticancer therapies that may be used in combination with the compound of the invention include surgery, radiotherapy (including, but not limited to, gamma-radiation, neutron beam radiotherapy, electron beam radiotherapy, proton therapy, brachytherapy, and systemic radioactive isotopes) and endocrine therapy. Anticancer agents that may be used in combination with the compounds of the invention include biologic response modifiers (including, but not limited to, interferons, interleukins, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)), hyperthermia and cryotherapy, agents to attenuate any adverse effects (e.g., antiemetics), and other approved chemotherapeutic drugs (e.g. taxol and analogs thereof).
When the compounds of the invention are combined with other anticancer drugs, they can be administered contemperaneously. As used herein, “administered contemporaneously” means that two substances are administered to a subject such that they are both biologically active in the subject at the same time. The exact details of the administration will depend on the pharmacokinetics of the two substances in the presence of each other, and can include administering one substance within a period of time of one another, e.g., 24 hours of administration of the other, if the pharmacokinetics are suitable. Designs of suitable dosing regimens are routine for one skilled in the art. In particular embodiments, two substances will be administered substantially simultaneously, i.e. within minutes of each other, or in a single composition that comprises both substances. Alternatively, the two agents can be administered separately, such that only one is biologically active in the subject at the same time.
The compounds of the invention can be administered to a patient in a variety of forms depending on the selected route of administration, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The compounds of the invention may be administered, for example, by oral, parenteral, buccal, sublingual, nasal, rectal, patch, pump or transdermal administration and the pharmaceutical compositions formulated accordingly. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, transepithelial, nasal, intrapulmonary, intrathecal, rectal and topical modes of administration. Parenteral administration can be by continuous infusion over a selected period of time.
The compounds of the invention can be suitably formulated into pharmaceutical compositions for administration to a subject. The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention optionally include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents therefor, such as lactose, starch, cellulose and dextrose. Other excipients, such as flavoring agents; sweeteners; and preservatives, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl parabens, can also be included. More complete listings of suitable excipients can be found in the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (5th Ed., Pharmaceutical Press (2005)). A person skilled in the art would know how to prepare formulations suitable for various types of administration routes. Conventional procedures and ingredients for the selection and preparation of suitable formulations are described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (2003-20th edition) and in The United States Pharmacopeia: The National Formulary (USP 24 NF19) published in 1999. The carriers, diluents and/or excipients are “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
Typically, for oral therapeutic administration, a compound of the invention may be incorporated with excipient and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like.
Typically for parenteral administration, solutions of a compound of the invention can generally be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, DMSO and mixtures thereof with or without alcohol, and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
Typically, for injectable use, sterile aqueous solutions or dispersion of, and sterile powders of, a compound of the invention for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions.
For nasal administration, the compounds of the invention can be formulated as aerosols, drops, gels and powders. Aerosol formulations typically comprise a solution or fine suspension of the active substance in a physiologically acceptable aqueous or non-aqueous solvent and are usually 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 atomizing device. 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 which is intended for disposal after use. Where the dosage form comprises an aerosol dispenser, it will contain a propellant which can be a compressed gas such as compressed air or an organic propellant such as fluorochlorohydrocarbon. The aerosol dosage forms can also take the form of a pump-atomizer.
For buccal or sublingual administration, the compounds of the invention can be formulated with a carrier such as sugar, acacia, tragacanth, or gelatin and glycerine, as tablets, lozenges or pastilles.
For rectal administration, the compounds of the invention can be formulated in the form of suppositories containing a conventional suppository base such as cocoa butter.
The compounds of the invention, can be formulated alone or for contemporaneous administration with other agents for treating cancer. Therefore, in another aspect, a pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent, a compound disclosed herein or a pharmacuetically acceptable salt thereof and another anti-cancer agent, for example, but not limited to a glucose metabolism inhibitor or taxol.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the compounds of the invention can be prepared by processes analogous to those established in the art. By way of illustration, compounds of Formula (I), wherein Rings A and B are as defined herein may be prepared by the methods outlined in Scheme 1. Reaction of an appropriately substituted Indazolylmethyleneindolinone 1 (wherein ring A is as defined herein and ring B and C together are an indazole) is reacted with a suitable methylene source, such as trimethylsulfonium iodide, or trimethylsulfoxonium iodide in the presence of a base (such as sodium hydride, LDA or NaHMDS), in a polar solvent (such as DMF, THF or DMSO). The reaction is conveniently effected at the appropriate temperature (generally in the range of 20° to 60° C.). The vinyl linkage, wherein Ar is a phenyl and heteroaryl group as defined herein, and P1 represents suitable indazole protecting group (such as Boc, acetyl or SEM) and X is a halide can be installed under typical Heck reaction conditions. Alternatively, wherein Ar is a phenyl and heteroaryl group as defined herein, and P1 represents suitable indazole protecting group (such as Boc, acetyl or SEM) and X is a halide can be installed under typical Suzuki reaction conditions, using either a boronic acid or boronate ester. The reaction is preferably effected under microwave irradiation conditions, advantageously in the range, for example of 100 to 150° C., or generally at about 120° C. Removal of the protecting group may be effected by any of the procedures known to effect such a transformation. For example, when the protecting group P1 is SEM, the transformation can be effected by treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in a polar solvent, such as THF, at reflux, or by stepwise treatment with boron trifluoride etherate and 2N HCl in ethanol.




In another aspect of the invention (SCHEME 2), the aryl linkage wherein R6 is as defined herein, P1 is either H or a suitable indazole protecting group (such as Boc, acetyl or SEM) and X is a halide, can be installed under typical Suzuki reaction conditions, using either a boronic acid or boronate ester. The reaction is preferably effected under microwave irradiation conditions, advantageously in the range, for example of 100 to 150° C., or generally at about 120° C. Removal of the protecting group may be effected by any of the procedures known to effect such a transformation. For example, when the protecting group P1 is SEM, the transformation can be effected by treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in a polar solvent, such as THF, at reflux, or by stepwise treatment with boron trifluoride etherate and 2N HCl in ethanol.





In another aspect of the invention (SCHEME 3), the alkyne linkage, wherein Ar is a phenyl and heteroaryl group, P1 is either H, or a suitable indazole protecting group (such as Boc, acetyl or SEM) and X is a halide, can be installed under typical Sonagashira reaction conditions. The reaction is preferably effected under microwave irradiation conditions, advantageously in the range, for example of 100 to 150° C., or generally at 120° C. Removal of the protecting group may be effected by any of the procedures known to effect such a transformation. For example, when the protecting group P1 is SEM, the transformation can be effected by treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in a polar solvent, such as THF, at reflux, or by stepwise treatment with boron trifluoride etherate and 2N HCl in ethanol.





In another aspect of the invention (SCHEME 4), the cyclopropanation can be effected on compounds such as (I), wherein R5 is as defined herein and R6 is as defined herein, is reacted with a suitable methylene source, such as trimethylsulfonium iodide, or trimethylsulfoxonium iodide in the presence of a base (such as sodium hydride, LDA or NaHMDS), in a polar solvent (such as DMF, THF or DMSO). The reaction is conveniently effected at the appropriate temperature (generally in the range of 20° to 60° C.).





In another aspect of the invention, indazolyl-spiro-cyclopropane-indolinones 3 may be obtained from reaction of the dianions generated by treating substituted oxindoles 1 with a strong base such as sodium hydride in a suitable solvent such as THF, with bis-electrophiles 2 (Scheme 5). When the (S) dimesylate is employed, the desired (1R,2S) enantiomer form almost exclusively, with little to none of the undesired (1S,2S) diastereomer detectable.





Indazolyl-spiro-cyclopropane-indolinones 3 which contain a Bn or PMB moiety may be deprotected by employment of suitable reaction conditions. Compounds 3 which contain more than one such protecting group may be deprotected at both sites in a one-pot reaction to provide compounds 4 (Scheme 6). Compounds 3 containing a PMB or Bn group may be deprotected by treatment with a strong base, such as KOtBu or tBuLi, and oxygen donor such as O2, MoOPH or MoOPD, in a suitable solvent such as THF, with DMSO or DMS to reduce the hydroperoxide intermediate formed in situ (A. A. Haddach, A. Kelleman, and M. V. Deaton-Rewolinski, Tetrahedron Lett., 2002, 43, 399-402; R. M. Williams and E. Kwast, Tetrahedron Lett., 1989, 30, 451-454). Compounds 3 containing a PMB group may alternatively be deprotected by treatment with an acid such as TFA, TfOH or a mixture of such acids, at temperatures between 50° C.-130° C. to provide indazolyl-spiro-cyclopropane-indolinones 4.





Indazolyl-spiro-cyclopropane-indolinones 4 may be iodinated to provide compounds of 5 (Scheme 7) by treatment with an iodinating agent such as iodine or N-iodosuccinimide, in the presence of a base such as Na2CO3, K2CO3, NaOH or KOtBu, in a suitable solvent such as acetone, ACN, DMF, DMSO, dioxane, NMP, THF, with or in the absence of water.





The relative stereochemistry of the cyclopropane ring may be assigned as (1R*,2S*) by comparison to the minor diastereomer produced in the synthesis of the racemic reference standards by use of HCOSY NMR experiment to assign the signals for each proton in the 1H NMR followed by NOESY experiment to determine the through space interaction between the cyclopropane protons and the proton at position 4 of the indolinone following (I. Moldvai, E. Gacs-Baitz, M. Balazs, M. Incze and C. Szantay; Arch. Pharm. Pharm. Med. Chem. 1996, 329, 541-549). The absolute stereochemistry of the product may be assigned as (1R,2S), based upon application of the Sharpless mnemonic to predict diol configuration as (S) and assuming an SN2 coupling process to form the cyclopropane resulting in inversion of the (S) stereocenter of the diol with preservation of e.e.

The invention is illustrated by the following examples which are not intended to be limiting in any way.
EXEMPLIFICATION
Exemplification
A. Syntheses of Compounds of the Invention
General Experimental Methods:
Commercially available starting materials, reagents, and solvents were used as received, with the exception of N,N-dimethyl-1-(4-vinylphenyl)methanamine which was purified by chromatography on silica gel prior to use in Heck reactions. In general, anhydrous reactions were performed under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon. Microwave reactions were performed with a Biotage Initiator microwave reactor. Reaction progress was generally monitored by TLC using Merck silica gel plates with visualization by UV at 254 nm, by analytical HPLC or by LCMS (Bruker Exquire 4000). Flash column chromatographic purification of intermediates or final products was performed using 230-400 mesh silica gel 60 from EMD chemicals. Final products were sometimes purified by preparative reverse-phase HPLC. Purification was performed on a Varian PrepStar model SD-1 HPLC system with a Varian Monochrom 10u C-18 reverse-phase column using a gradient of about 5-30% acetonitrile/0.05% TFA water to 70-100% acetonitrile/0.05% TFA water over a 20-40-min period at a flow rate of 30-50 mL/min. Fractions containing the desired material were concentrated and lyophilized to obtain the final products. Proton NMRs were recorded on a Bruker 400 MHz spectrometer, and mass spectra were obtained using a Bruker Esquire 4000 spectrometer. Optical Rotations were measured at the sodium D-line (589.44 nM) using an AA-55 Polarimeter from Optical Activity Ltd with a 2.5×100 mm unjacketed stainless steel tube at given sample concentrations (c, units of g/100 mL).
Compound names were generated using the software built into ChemBioDraw Ultra version 11.0 with the following exception. Racemic compounds with known relative stereochemistry were named using the R*/S* system as described by North (Principles and Applications of Stereochemistry, CRC Press, 1998), wherein the lower numbered atom is arbitrarily defined as R*, and the higher numbered atoms are defined relative to that center. Thus a racemic mixture of enantiomers of a compound with two chiral centers is designated as (1R*,2S*) or (1R*, 2R*) depending on the known relative stereochemistry. The standard R and S nomenclature is used to describe single enantiomers or enantiomerically enriched compounds of greater than 95% e.e.

A stirred solution of 5-methoxyisatin (5.0 g, 28 mmol) in dry DMF (40 mL) was cooled in an ice bath before addition of sodium hydride (60 wt % in mineral oil, 1.7 g, 42 mmol) slowly, the dark red solution turning quickly black. After stirring for 20 min, BnBr (3.7 mL, 31 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture by syringe and the resulting mixture was stirred for 1 h. Water (150 mL) was added with stirring, and the resulting dark red precipitate collected by filtration and washed with water to give 1-benzyl-5-methoxyindoline-2,3-dione as a dark red solid (6.1 g, 81%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.39-7.31 (m, 5H), 7.17 (s, 1H), 7.03 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 6.68 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 4.92 (s, 2H), 3.79 (s, 3H).

Synthesis of N1-Benzyl-6-vinyl-1H-indazole




Method 1:

A mixture of N1-Benzyl-6-bromo-1H-indazole (10.2 g, 35.5 mmol) and NaOH (4.3 g, 107 mmol) in THF/water (9:1, 350 mL) was purged with nitrogen. In a separate flask, Pd(OAc)2 (0.16 g, 0.7 mmol, 2 mol %) and PPh3 (0.37 g, 1.4 mmol, 4 mol %) were stirred together in nitrogen-purged dry THF (35 mL) for 10 min, forming a red solution with some suspended solids. Vinylboronic acid pinacol ester (7.5 mL, 44.4 mmol) and the catalyst solution were added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting solution purged once more with nitrogen. The mixture was warmed in an oil bath set to 65° C.; TLC indicated consumption of starting material within 7 h. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove most of the THF, then diluted with water (50 mL), brine (50 mL) and EtOAc (250 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous phase extracted with further EtOAc (4×50 mL). The combined organic portions were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated (at 70° C./20 mbar) to afford the crude product. This was chromatographed on silica using 10-20% EtOAc in cyclohexane to afford the title compound (7.5 g, 90%) as a yellow oil that solidified on standing. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.98 (s, 1H), 7.63 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.29-7.19 (m, 5H), 7.18-7.13 (m, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 6.75 (dd, J=17.6, 10.9 Hz, 1H), 5.76 (d, J=17.5 Hz, 1H), 5.53 (s, 2H), 5.26 (d, J=10.9 Hz, 1H). MS (ES+): 235 ([M+H]+); calcd for [C16H14N2+H]+ 235.1.
Method 2:
using 4,4,6-Trimethyl-2-vinyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane: A mixture of N1-Benzyl-6-bromo-1H-indazole (1.44 g, 5.0 mmol) and NaOH (0.4 g, 10.0 mmol) in THF/water (5:1, 15 mL) was purged with nitrogen. In a separate flask, Pd(OAc)2 (11 mg, 0.05 mmol, 1 mol %) and PPh3 (26 mg, 0.1 mmol, 2 mol %) were stirred together in nitrogen-purged THF (2.5 mL) for 10 min, forming a red solution with some suspended solids. The THF used was of HPLC grade and inhibitor free; the effect of lower grade or stabilized THF is not known. 4,4,6-Trimethyl-2-vinyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane (1.12 mL, 6.5 mmol) and the catalyst solution were added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting solution purged once more with nitrogen. The mixture was warmed in an oil bath set to 65° C.; heating was continued for 24 h but the reaction is probably complete in fewer than 8 h. The crude mixture was then combined with a second, parallel reaction of the same scale where higher dilution had been used. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove most of the THF, then diluted with water, brine and cyclohexane. The layers were separated and the aqueous phase extracted with further cyclohexane until TLC indicated all the desired product had been extracted (3-4 extracts). The combined organic portions were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and then passed through a 1 cm pad of silica to remove baseline material. Any product remaining on the silica was eluted using 10% EtOAc in cyclohexane (Rf. 0.15 in this eluent). The combined eluate was concentrated to afford the title compound (2.05 g, 88%) as a yellow oil that solidified on standing and was of sufficient purity to use in subsequent reactions.
Method 3:
N1-Benzyl-6-bromo-1H-indazole (half of the crude material obtained in method 3 above) was processed in two batches as follows: a mixture of crude N1-Benzyl-6-bromo-1H-indazole (153 g, containing a maximum of 0.5 mol assuming 100% yield in benzylation/equilibration) and NaOH (40 g, 1.0 mol) in THF/water (5:1, 1.5 L; HPLC grade inhibitor-free THF) was purged with nitrogen. In a separate flask, Pd(OAc)2 (1.13 g, 5.0 mmol, 1 mol %) and PPh3 (2.6 g, 10.0 mmol, 2 mol %) were stirred together in nitrogen-purged THF (250 mL) for 10 min, forming a red solution with some suspended solids. 4,4,6-Trimethyl-2-vinyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane (112 mL, 0.65 mol) and the catalyst solution were added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting solution purged once more with nitrogen. The mixture was heated overnight in an oil bath set to 60° C. 1H NMR of a sample indicated that some starting material remained, and so additional vinyl donor (30 mL) was added to push to completion. Both batches of mixture were combined and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove most of the THF, then diluted with water, brine and cyclohexane. The layers were separated and the aqueous phase extracted with further cyclohexane until TLC indicated all of the desired product had been extracted (total 3.5 L cyclohexane). The combined organic portions were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and then passed through a 2 cm pad of silica to remove baseline material. Any product remaining on the silica was eluted using 10% EtOAc in cyclohexane (Rf. 0.15 in this eluent). The combined eluate was concentrated to afford 309 g of a crude oil comprising the title compound, a little of the diol derived from the vinyl donor, and a number of benzyl-containing impurities.
Method 4:
A further reaction carried out using distilled N1-Benzyl-6-bromo-1H-indazole (64.3 g, 0.144 moles) afforded full conversion without the need for additional portion of vinyl donor, and gave semi-crude N1-Benzyl-6-vinyl-1H-indazole (55.5 g, quantitative) which was used without further purification below.
Synthesis of (S)-1-(N-1-Benzyl-1H-indazol-6-yl)-ethane-1,2-diol




Method 1:

K3Fe(CN)6 (16.7 g, 51.0 mmol), K2CO3 (7.05 g, 51.0 mmol), (DHQ)2PHAL (0.13 g, 0.17 mmol, 1 mol %) and K2OsO4.2H2O (12.8 mg, 0.034 mmol, 0.2 mol %) were placed in a roundbottomed flask. A mixture of tBuOH and water (1:1, 160 mL) was added, forming a clear, biphasic mixture on stirring. The mixture was cooled in an ice bath, resulting in partial precipitation, before addition of powdered N1-benzyl-6-vinyl-1H-indazole (4.0 g, 17.1 mmol). The resulting mixture was vigorously stirred in the ice bath for 5 h, at which point no further solid was visible and TLC indicated consumption of starting material. The reaction was quenched by addition of sodium metabisulfite (40 g), with the resulting effervescence causing the reaction mixture to overspill into the ice bath. The remaining material was added to the ice bath and the resulting mixture (containing approximately 1 L of water and ice) was stirred overnight, warming slowly. Celite and CH2Cl2 (200 mL) were added, the mixture thoroughly stirred and then filtered. The solids were washed thoroughly with further CH2Cl2 (2×50 mL). The biphasic filtrate was separated, and the aqueous layer extracted with CHCl3 (4×50 mL). The combined organic portions were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was taken up in EtOAc and filtered through a pad of silica (1 cm depth×8 cm diameter), eluting with further EtOAc, to remove baseline material. The eluate was concentrated and stripped with toluene to remove traces of tBuOH. Finally, the residue was recrystallized from hot toluene (10 mL/g) to afford the title compound as white needles (3.87 g, 84%, 98.8% ee) with the major (S) enantiomer eluting at 16.8 min (Daicel Chiralpak IB (250×4.6 mm); isocratic 10% EtOH in n-heptane; 1 mL/min; ambient temperature (ca. 22° C.); Detection: 254, 230, 210 nm); From the racemic reference standard, the retention time of the (R) enantiomer was 14.8 min using this method and N1-benzyl-6-vinyl-1H-indazole eluted at 5.4 min. 1H NMR and mass spectral data were identical to racemic 1-(1-Benzyl-1H-indazol-6-yl)-ethane-1,2-diol obtained above. Optical Rotation: [α]22D=13° (c 1.018, MeOH).
Method 2:
Semi-crude N1-Benzyl-6-vinyl-1H-indazole (Method 4 above, 55.5 g) was dihydroxylated in a similar manner to afford, after recrystallization to obtain 2 crops of solid, pure (S)-1-(N1-Benzyl-1H-indazol-6-yl)-ethane-1,2-diol (38 g, quantitative).
Method 3:
K3Fe(CN)6 (0.98 kg, 3 mol), K2CO3 (0.55 kg, 3 mol), (DHQ)2PHAL (3.9 g, 5.0 mmol) and K2OsO4.2H2O (0.37 g, 1 mmol) were placed in a 10 L clamp-top reaction vessel equipped with overhead stirrer. A mixture of tBuOH and water (1:1, 7.5 L) was added, forming a clear, biphasic mixture on stirring. The mixture was cooled using a Haake EK90 chiller, resulting in partial precipitation, before addition of crude NI-benzyl-6-vinyl-1H-indazole (ca. 0.7-0.8 mol). The resulting mixture was vigorously stirred, but set solid as insufficient space was available for proper circulation in the cooling bath and the actual temperature dropped to around −20° C. when left over the weekend. Little conversion was evident. To speed up the reaction, further (DHQ)2PHAL (2.5 mmol) and K2OsO4.2H2O (0.5 mmol) were added, and the mixture let warm to approx. 10° C.; the reaction then proceeded satisfactorily. The reaction was quenched by portion-wise addition of sodium metabisulfite (1.5 kg). The mixture was stirred for 1 h at rt, becoming almost clear, then filtered through a pad of celite to remove precipitated OsO2. The filtrate was extracted with CH2Cl2 (4 extracts, final volume 7 L), and the combined organic portions dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was recrystallized from hot toluene (10 mL/g); two crops of the title compound were collected, of 98.7% and 98.0% e.e., totalling 163.7 g (55% from 6-bromo-1H-indazole).
Synthesis of (S)-Methanesulfonic acid 2-(N1-benzyl-1H-indazol-6-yl)-2-methanesulfonyloxy-ethyl ester




Method 1:

A solution of (S)-1-(N1-Benzyl-1H-indazol-6-yl)-ethane-1,2-diol (3.75 g, 14.0 mmol, 98.8% ee) and Et3N (4.9 mL, 35.0 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (350 mL) was cooled in an ice bath before dropwise addition of MsCl (2.17 mL, 28.0 mmol) over 10 min. The resulting mixture was left to stir for 30 min. After dilution with further CH2Cl2 (250 mL), the solution was washed with cold 1.0 M aq. HCl (2×50 mL), sat. aq. NaHCO3 (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), then dried over Na2SO4. The solution was poured onto a short silica pad (1 cm depth×8 cm diameter) under suction. The initial filtrate did not contain any of the product; this was subsequently eluted with 1:1 Et2O/CH2Cl2. The eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (5.98 g,  ̃quant.) as a white solid. 1H NMR and mass spectral data were identical to racemic methanesulfonic acid 2-(1-benzyl-1H-indazol-6-yl)-2-methanesulfonyloxy-ethyl ester obtained above. The e.e. of this batch of material was not determined at this stage but was carried forward to the next step. Optical Rotation: [α]22D=58° (c 0.73, CHCl3).
Method 2:
A solution of (S)-1-(N1-benzyl-1H-indazol-6-yl)-ethane-1,2-diol (134 g, 0.5 mol,  ̃98% e.e.) and Et3N (174 mL, 1.25 mol) in CH2Cl2 (2.5 L) was cooled in an ice bath before slow addition of MsCl (81.3 mL, 1.05 mol) over approx. 1 h. The internal temperature increased to a maximum of 11° C. The resulting mixture was left to stir for min. The reaction was quenched with cold 1.0 M aq. HCl (400 mL), the phases separated, and the organic phase washes with further cold 1.0 M aq. HCl, aq. NaHCO3 and brine, then dried over MgSO4. The solution was poured onto a short silica pad under suction. Some of the product eluted from the silica during this filtration, and the remainder was eluted using 1:1 Et2O/CH2Cl2 (2 L). The eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a hard white solid. This was triturated with Et2O (800 mL) overnight. The fine white powder was collected by filtration and washed with further Et2O (2×100 mL) to yield the title compound (184.2 g, 87%, 99% e.e.) with the major (S) enantiomer eluting at 13.4 min (Daicel Chiralpak IB (250×4.6 mm); isocratic 30% EtOH in n-heptane; 1 mL/min; ambient temperature (ca. 22° C.); Detection: 254, 230, 210 nm); From the racemic reference standard, the retention time of the (R) enantiomer was 14.4 min using this method. The filtrate contained only a small quantity of product of low e.e. and was discarded.

Method 1:

A solution of N-benzyl-oxindole (3.57 g) in dry THF (120 mL) was cooled in an ice bath before addition of NaH (60 wt % in mineral oil, 1.92 g, 48.0 mmol) in four portions; the solution quickly became a deep purple. After 30 min, a solution of (S)-methanesulfonic acid 2-(N1-benzyl-1H-indazol-6-yl)-2-methanesulfonyloxy-ethyl ester (6.79 g, 16.0 mmol,  ̃98.5% ee, previously stripped twice with dry THF) in dry THF (80 mL) was added by syringe pump over a period of 1 h. TLC indicated rapid conversion to a single compound with Rf 0.45 (25% EtOAc in cyclohexane, eluted twice; starting materials Rf 0.5 & Rf 0.2). After stirring for 2 h, the mixture was poured into sat. aq. NH4Cl (50 mL), diluted with water (50 mL), and EtOAc (100 mL). The phases were separated and the aqueous layer extracted with further portions of EtOAc (4×50 mL). The combined organic portions were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to afford a crude product that, by 1H NMR, appeared to consist almost exclusively of the title compound. The crude product was passed through a short silica pad (1 cm depth×5 cm diameter), eluting with 1:1 EtOAc in cyclohexane. The residue was triturated with n-heptane (3×50 mL) to remove mineral oil, and stripped with toluene to afford the title compound (7.0 g, up to 90% yield) as a glassy solid that contained some solvent. HPLC indicated an optical purity of 98% e.e. with the major (1R,2S) enantiomer eluting at 13.3 min (Daicel Chiralpak 1A, 250×4.6 mm; isocratic 10% EtOH in n-heptane; 1 mL/min; ambient temperature (ca. 22° C.); Detection: 254, 230, 210 nm); From the racemic reference standard, the retention time of the (1S,2R) enantiomer was 12.1 min using this method. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.99 (s, 1H), 7.60 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.36-7.20 (m, 8H), 7.19 (s, 1H), 7.15-7.10 (m, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 6.99 (td, J=7.8, 0.9 Hz, 1H), 6.92 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.74 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 6.50 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 1H), 5.76 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 5.61 (d, J=15.8 Hz, 1H), 5.53 (d, J=15.8 Hz, 1H), 5.08 (d, J=15.6 Hz, 1H), 4.97 (d, J=15.7 Hz, 1H), 3.48 (t, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 2.28 (dd, J=9.0, 4.5 Hz, 1H), 2.02 (dd, J=8.0, 4.6 Hz, 1H). MS (ES+): 456 ([M+H]+), calcd for [C31H25N3O+H]+ 456.2.
Method 2:
In a separate set of individual experiments carried out in a similar manner as Method 1 but not performing any column chromatography, using between on 20-45 g of (S)-methanesulfonic acid 2-(N1-benzyl-1H-indazol-6-yl)-2-methanesulfonyloxy-ethyl ester per batch, a total of 133.8 g, 315 mmol was carried forward. Some batches were combined and passed through a silica plug to remove traces of baseline material before use, but this didn't seem to make any difference in subsequent reactions. The crude product was isolated as a foamy solid (174.1 g, containing mineral oil from the sodium hydride accounting for approximately 10% of each crude product, as well as varying amounts of EtOAc, estimated average yield>80% based on estimated individual batch purities). The material was carried forward without further purification.

HPLC Resolution:

Racemic (1R*,2S*)-2-(1H-indazol-6-yl)spiro[cyclopropane-1,3′-indolin]-2′-one (25 mg, prepared in example A2) was separated using chiral HPLC: Chiralpak 1A (3×15 cm), (30% methanol (0.1% DEA)/CO2, 70 mL/min) to give a white solid (11.5 mg)
Analytical HPLC: Chiralpak 1A (15×0.46 cm), (40% methanol (0.1% DEA)/CO2, 3 mL/min) 97% e.e., Rt=5.2 min).
Chiral Synthesis:
A solution of (1R,2S)-2-(N-1-benzyl-1H-indazol-6-yl)spiro-[N-benzyl-cyclopropane-1,3-indolin]-2′-one (6.5 g, up to 14 mmol; contains some solvent) in a mixture of DMSO (20 mL, 286 mmol) and THF (200 mL) was cooled in ice before addition of KOtBu (10.0 g, 89 mmol). The mixture darkened immediately. The mixture was purged gently with oxygen from balloons, warming slowly to rt. NMR of a sample after 5 h showed approx. 30% conversion, and so the mixture was let stir overnight under a balloon of oxygen (no purge). No further conversion had occurred, and so further KOtBu (20.0 g, 178 mmol) was added. Uptake of oxygen was immediately evident, suggesting that this large excess of base is required for effective deprotection. After a further 5 h, the mixture was poured into sat. aq. NH4Cl (100 mL). Most of the THF was removed under reduced pressure, and the resulting mixture was extracted with portions of EtOAc (4×50 mL). The combined organic portions were washed with sat. aq. sodium thiosulfate (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was slurried in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) and poured onto a short silica pad (2 cm depth×5 cm diameter) under suction. The major byproduct (Rf 0.6 in 1:1 EtOAc/cyclohexane, Rf 0.15 in CH2Cl2) was eluted using CH2Cl2 (ca. 1 L). The product (Rf 0.25 in 1:1 EtOAc/cyclohexane) was eluted using 2% then 5% MeOH/EtOAc. An impurity co-eluted with the product, as the latter ‘streaked’ badly. Concentrating the product containing fractions afforded the title compound (2.5 g, 64%) as a pale brown solid, contaminated with a second cyclopropane-containing compound (<10%; possibly a monobenzylated compound). HPLC indicated an optical purity of 94% e.e. (although the presence of a co-eluting impurity is suspected), with the major (1R,2S) enantiomer eluting at 14.3 min (Daicel Chiralpak AS-H (250×4.6 mm); isocratic 40% EtOH in n-heptane; 1 mL/min; 35° C.; Detection: 254, 230, 210 nm). From the racemic reference standard, the retention time of the (1S,2R) enantiomer was 9.9 min using this method. Analytical data was identical for that obtained in Example A2.

To a solution of NaH (380 mg, 9.5 mmol) in DMF (8 mL) at 0° C. was added trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (694 mg, 3.15 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 30 min followed by the addition of (E/Z)-3-((3-iodo-1H-indazol-6-yl)methylene)-5-methoxyindolin-2-one (658 mg, 1.6 mmol, E/Z ratio 84:16) in DMF (2 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 18 h. The reaction was cooled to 0° C. and quenched with saturated NH4Cl. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give a yellow viscous oil. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (95:5 CH2Cl2/MeOH) to yield a yellow solid, which was then triturated with a 1:1 mixture of hexanes and EtOAc to give the title compound as a white powder (471 mg, 69%). A mixture of diastereomers (7:1 by NMR) was obtained. In repeated runs, the ratio of diastereomers varried from 6:1 to 10:1 in favor of the 1R*,2S* diastereomer. The material was used without further purification as an intermediate for subsequent reactions. Alternatively the material was recrystallized from methanol to yield the title compound as a 12:1 mixture in favour of the 1R*,2S* diastereomer.

HPLC Resolution:

Racemic (1R*,2S*)-2-(3-iodo-1H-indazol-6-yl)spiro[cyclopropane-1,3′-indolin]-2′-one (35 mg, prepared in example A9) was separated using chiral HPLC: Lux Cellulose AXIA (150×21.2 mm), (Gradient 10% isopropanol/Hexane to 90% isopropanol/hexane mL/min) to give a white solid (8.8 mg).
Analytical HPLC: Lux Cellulose AXIA (150×4.6 mm), (Gradient 10% isopropanol/Hexane to 90% isopropanol/hexane 1 mL/min) 98% e.e., Rt=7.8 min).
Chiral Synthesis:
A mixture of (1R,2S)-2-(1H-indazol-6-yl)spiro-[cyclopropane-1,3-indolin]-2′-one (2.20 g, 8.0 mmol, ca. 94% ee) and K2CO3 (2.21 g, 16.0 mmol) in dry DMF (20 mL) was treated with a solution of I2 (3.45 g, 13.6 mmol) in dry DMF (15 mL), adding the latter by syringe pump over 45 min. The mixture was stirred for 1.5 h and then poured into a mixture of water (400 mL) and sat. aq. Na2S2O3. The resulting mixture was triturated in an ultrasound bath for 30 min to break up the sticky clumps of solid, then filtered. The solids were washed with water (2×50 mL), partially dried under suction, then stripped twice with acetone to remove residual water. HPLC of the crude mixture indicated an optical purity of 95% e.e. with the major (1R,2S) enantiomer eluting at 14.1 min (Daicel Chiralpak AS-H (250×4.6 mm); isocratic 40% EtOH in n-heptane; 1 mL/min; 35° C.; Detection: 254, 230, 210 nm). From the racemic reference standard, the retention time of the (1S,2R) enantiomer was 8.4 min using this method, and both enantiomers of the minor diasteremer product were also detected at 6.0 min and 6.9 min. Baseline material was removed by passing an EtOAc solution of the product through a short silica pad (2 cm depth×4 cm diameter), eluting with further EtOAc. Further purification was then attempted by trituration. Et2O and toluene removed some of the impurities, but no enhancement of optical purity was observed. Recrystallization from THF/cyclohexane and EtOAc/cyclohexane were also unsuccessful, and so the material was purified by column chromatography on silica (20 cm depth×4 cm diameter) using 1:1 EtOAc/cyclohexane to afford the title compound (1.47 g, 46%) as an off-white powder.

Example B
PLK4 Inhibition Assay
Active PLK4 was purified from an E. coli expression system as an amino terminal GST fusion of residues 1-391 of human PLK4. The protein was purified from clarified cell extracts after induction at 15° C. overnight using glutathione sepharose, gel permeation chromatography, and ion exchange (Resource Q). The resulting protein was dephosphorylated with lambda phosphatase (NEB cat# P0753), and resolved from the phosphatase using gluthione sepharose. The dephosphorylated GST-PLK4 was stored in aliquots at −80° C. until use.
PLK4 activity was measured using an indirect ELISA detection system. Dephosphorylated GST-PLK4 (4 nM) was incubated in the presence of 15 μM ATP (Sigma cat# A7699), 50 mM HEPES-Na2+ pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Brij 35 (Sigma cat#03-3170), in a 96 well microtitre plate pre-coated with MBP (Millipore cat#30-011). The reaction was allowed to proceed for 30 minutes, followed by 5 washes of the plate with Wash Buffer (50 mM TRIS-Cl pH 7.4 and 0.2% Tween 20), and incubation for 30 minutes with a 1:3000 dilution of primary antibody (Cell Signaling cat#9381). The plate was washed 5 times with Wash Buffer, incubated for 30 minutes in the presence of secondary antibody coupled to horse radish peroxidase (BioRad cat#1721019, 1:3000 concentration), washed an additional 5 times with Wash Buffer, and incubated in the presence of TMB substrate (Sigma cat# T0440). The colourimetric reaction was allowed to continue for 5 minutes, followed by addition of stop solution (0.5 N sulphuric acid), and quantified by detection at 450 nm with either a monochromatic or filter based plate reader (Molecular Devices M5 or Beckman DTX880, respectively).
Compound inhibition was determined at either a fixed concentration (10 μM) or at a variable inhibitor concentration (typically 50 μM to 0.1 μM in a 10 point dose response titration). Compounds were pre-incubated in the presence of enzyme for 15 minutes prior to addition of ATP and the activity remaining quantified using the above described activity assay. The % Inhibition of a compound was determined using the following formula; % Inhibition=100×(1−(experimental value−background value)/(high activity control−background value)). The IC50 value was determined using a non-linear 4 point logistic curve fit (XLfit4, IDBS) with the formula; (A+(B/(1+((x/C){grave over ( )}D)))), where A=background value, B=range, C=inflection point, D=curve fit parameter.
Example C

PLK1 inhibition was determined using the Z-Lyte assay kit from Invitrogen (cat#PV3802). The assay was performed using the recommended manufacturer's instructions with 25 μM ATP and 8 nM PLK1 (Invitrogen cat # PV3501). The % inhibition values were determined according to the manufacturer's directions and IC50 values were obtained using a non-linear 4 point logistic curve fit (XLfit4, IDBS)
Example D
PLK2 Inhibition Assay
PLK2 inhibition was determined using the Z-Lyte assay kit from Invitrogen (cat#PV3802). The assay was performed using the recommended manufacturer's instructions with 60 μM ATP and 133 nM PLK2 (Invitrogen cat # PV4204). The % inhibition values were determined according to the manufacturer's directions and IC50 values were obtained using a non-linear 4 point logistic curve fit (XLfit4, IDBS)
Example E
PLK3 Inhibition Assay
PLK3 inhibition was determined using the Z-Lyte assay kit from Invitrogen (cat#PV3802). The assay was performed using the recommended manufacturer's instructions with 100 μM ATP and 21 nM PLK3 (Invitrogen cat # PV3812). The % inhibition values were determined according to the manufacturer's directions and IC50 values were obtained using a non-linear 4 point logistic curve fit (XLfit4, IDBS).
Example F
Aurora A Inhibition Assay
Aurora A inhibition was determined using the Z-Lyte assay kit from Invitrogen. The assay was performed using the recommended manufacturer's instructions with 20 μM ATP and 12 nM Aurora A (Invitrogen cat # PV3612). The % inhibition values were determined according to the manufacturer's directions and IC50 values were obtained using a non-linear 4 point logistic curve fit (XLfit4, IDBS)
Example G
Aurora B Inhibition Assay
Aurora B inhibition was determined using the Z-Lyte assay kit from Invitrogen. The assay was performed using the recommended manufacturer's instructions with 128 μM ATP and 28 nM Aurora B (Invitrogen cat # PV3970). The % inhibition values were determined according to the manufacturer's directions and IC50 values were obtained using a non-linear 4 point logistic curve fit (XLfit4, IDBS)
In Table 1, IC50 values for PLK4, Aurora A and Aurora B Kinases are indicated as “A,” “B,” and “C,” for those less than or equal to 0.1 μM; those greater than 0.1 μM and less than or equal to 1 μM; and those greater than 1 μM, respectively. The relative inhibition percentages at a dose of 1 μM are indicated as “X” and “Y” for those equal to or greater than 50% inhibition and those less than 50% inhibition, respectively. As shown in Table 1, numerous compounds of the invention are effective PLK4 inhibitors. With respect to PLK1, PLK2 and PLK3, Examples A22 and A23 did not show greater than 50% inhibition at 10 M. In addition, a number of compounds of the invention also inhibit Aurora kinases, in particular Aurora B kinase.

Table 4 above shows the percent inhibition values obtained for Examples A33, A39, and A42 at 0.1 μM concentration. From the panel of 284 kinases, only examples which showed greater than 50% inhibition at 0.1 μM are reported in Table 4. From this inhibition data it is apparent that certain kinases, e.g. Abl, Arg, AurA, AurB, FGFR3, TrkA and TRKB kinase are inhibited by compounds of the invention. These activities may impart additional therapeutic benefit to these compounds.

Cancer Cell Line Data of Compounds of the Invention
Breast cancer cells (MCF-7, MDA-MB-468, HCC1954), colon cancer cells (SW620) and lung cancer cells (A549), together with human mammary epithelial primary cells (HMEC), were seeded (1000 to 4000 per 80 μl per well depending on the cell growth rate) into 96 well plates, 24 hours before compound overlay. Compounds were prepared as 10 mM stock solutions in 100% DMSO which were diluted with DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium) cell growth Medium (Invitrogen, Burlington, ON, Canada) containing 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) to concentrations ranging from 50 nM to 250 μM. Aliquots (201) from each concentration were overlaid to 80 μl of the pre-seeded cells in the 96 well plates to make final concentrations of 10 nM to 50 μM. The cells were cultured for 5 days before the Sulforhodamine B assay (SRB) was performed to determine the compound's cell growth inhibition activity.
Sulforhodamine B (purchased from Sigma, Oakville, ON, Canada) is a water-soluble dye that binds to the basic amino acids of the cellular proteins. Thus, colorimetric measurement of the bound dye provides an estimate of the total protein mass that is related to the cell number. the cells are fixed in situ by gently aspirating off the culture media and adding 50 μl ice cold 10% Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) per well and incubate at 4° C. for 30-60 min, The plates are washed with water five times and allowed to air dry for 5 min. Addition of 50 μl 10.4% (w/v) SRB solution in 1% (v/v) acetic acid to each well and incubatation for 30 min at RT completes the staining reaction. Following staining, plates are washed four times with 1% acetic acid to remove unbound dye and then allowed to air dry for 5 min. The stain is solubilized with 100 μl of 10 mM Tris pH 10.5 per well. Absorbance is read at 570 nm.
The percentage (%) of relative growth inhibition was calculated by comparing to DMSO treated only cells (100%). GI50's were determined for compounds with cytotoxic activity. The GI50 was calculated using GraphPad PRISM software (GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, Calif., USA). GI50 (growth inhibition) is the compound concentration that causes 50% inhibition of cell growth.
In Table 5 below, GI50 value ranges for several compound examples against a luminal breast cancer cell line (MCF-7), two basal breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-468, HCC1954), a lung cancer cell line (A549), a colon cancer cell line (SW-620) and primary breast cells (HMEC) are given. The example compounds demonstrated varying growth inhibition/cell killing activity against cancer cells of luminal breast cancer and basal breast cancer cell, lung cancer and colon cancer. In general, these compounds showed less or little activity against normal cells as exemplified by HMEC. The GI50 ranges are indicated as “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D,” for values less than or equal to 0.1 μM; those greater than 0.1 μM and less than or equal to 1 μM; those greater than 1 μM and less than or equal to 10 μM; and those greater than 10 μM, respectively.

Example K
In Vitro Angiogenesis Assay
Certain compounds of the invention exhibited micromolar and submicromolar activity against Receptor Tyrosine Kinaseas (RTKs) such as FGFR2, VEGFR1, VEGFR2 and PDGFDbeta. Activity against these RTKs can result in antiangiogenic activity which is associated with slowed tumor growth and/or tumor regression. To measure the antiangiogenic effects of compounds of the invention, selected examples were tested in an angiogenesis assay as described below. Note that compound Examples A13, A22 and A23 showed anti-agiogenic effects at submicromolar concentrations (FIGS. 1 and 2).
HUV-EC-C cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, CRL-1730), and were used at early passage for the assay. The in vitro Angiogenesis Assay Kit (Chemicon) was used according to the manufacturer's recommendation. An ice-cold mixture of ECMatrix was transferred into a precooled 96-well plate. After the matrix solution had solidified (>1 hr incubation at 37° C.), 8,000 cells were mixed with the appropriate inhibitor concentration (in 100 microliters EGM-2) and plated into each well. The clinical antiangiogenic, Sutent was used as a positive control in comparison to a compound of the invention, A13. After incubation at 37° C. for 4 hr, tube formation was inspected. Two methods, pattern recognition and branch point counting, were used to quantify the progression of angiogenesis and expressed as a percentage of the control tube count (FIGS. 1 and 2).
While this invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to example embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention encompassed by the appended claims.
