TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to compounds useful as inhibitors of protein kinases. The invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising the compounds of the invention and methods of using the compositions in the treatment of various disorders. The invention also provides processes for preparing the compounds of the invention and intermediate compounds useful in these processes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The search for new therapeutic agents has been greatly aided in recent years by a better understanding of the structure of enzymes and other biomolecules associated with diseases. One important class of enzymes that has been the subject of extensive study is protein kinases.
Protein kinases constitute a large family of structurally related enzymes that are responsible for the control of a variety of signal transduction processes within the cell. (See, Hardie, G. and Hanks, S. The Protein Kinase Facts Book, I and II, Academic Press, San Diego, Calif.: 1995). Protein kinases are thought to have evolved from a common ancestral gene due to the conservation of their structure and catalytic function. Almost all kinases contain a similar 250-300 amino acid catalytic domain. The kinases may be categorized into families by the substrates they phosphorylate (e.g., protein-tyrosine, protein-serine/threonine, lipids, etc.). Sequence motifs have been identified that generally correspond to each of these kinase families (See, for example, Hanks, S. K., Hunter, T., FASEB J. 1995, 9, 576-596; Knighton et al., Science 1991, 253, 407-414; Hiles et al., Cell 1992, 70, 419-429; Kunz et al., Cell 1993, 73, 585-596; Garcia-Bustos et al., EMBO J. 1994, 13, 2352-2361).
In general, protein kinases mediate intracellular signaling by effecting a phosphoryl transfer from a nucleoside triphosphate to a protein acceptor that is involved in a signaling pathway. These phosphorylation events act as molecular on/off switches that can modulate or regulate the target protein biological function. These phosphorylation events are ultimately triggered in response to a variety of extracellular and other stimuli. Examples of such stimuli include environmental and chemical stress signals (e.g., osmotic shock, heat shock, ultraviolet radiation, bacterial endotoxin, and H2O2), cytokines (e.g., interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)), and growth factors (e.g., granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)). An extracellular stimulus may affect one or more cellular responses related to cell growth, migration, differentiation, secretion of hormones, activation of transcription factors, muscle contraction, glucose metabolism, control of protein synthesis, and regulation of the cell cycle.
Many diseases are associated with abnormal cellular responses triggered by protein kinase-mediated events as described above. These diseases include, but are not limited to, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases, metabolic diseases, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, allergies and asthma, Alzheimer's disease, and hormone-related diseases. Accordingly, there has been a substantial effort in medicinal chemistry to find protein kinase inhibitors that are effective as therapeutic agents.
The Tec family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases plays a central role in signaling through antigen-receptors such as the TCR, BCR and Fcε receptors (reviewed in Miller A, et al., Current Opinion in Immunology 14; 331-340 (2002). Tec family kinases are essential for T cell activation. Three members of the Tec family, Itk, Rlk and Tec, are activated downstream of antigen receptor engagement in T cells and transmit signals to downstream effectors, including PLC-γ. Deletion of Itk in mice results in reduced T cell receptor (TCR)-induced proliferation and secretion of the cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IFN-γ (Schaeffer et al, Science 284; 638-641 (1999)), Fowell et al, Immunity 11; 399-409 (1999), Schaeffer et al Nature Immunology 2, 12; 1183-1188 (2001))). The immunological symptoms of allergic asthma are attenuated in Itk−/− mice. Lung inflammation, eosinophil infiltration and mucous production are drastically reduced in Itk−/− mice in response to challenge with the allergen OVA (Mueller et al, Journal of Immunology 170: 5056-5063 (2003)). Itk has also been implicated in atopic dermatitis. This gene has been reported to be more highly expressed in peripheral blood T cells from patients with moderate and/or severe atopic dermatitis than in controls or patients with mild atopic dermatitis (Matsumoto et al, International archives of Allergy and Immunology 129; 327-340 (2002)).
Splenocytes from Rlk−/− mice secrete half the IL-2 produced by wild type animals in response to TCR engagement (Schaeffer et al, Science 284; 638-641 (1999)), while combined deletion of Itk and Rlk in mice leads to a profound inhibition of TCR-induced responses including proliferation and production of the cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 and IFN-γ (Schaeffer et al Nature Immunology 2, 12; 1183-1188 (2001)), Schaeffer et al, Science 284; 638-641 (1999)). Intracellular signaling following TCR engagement is effected in Itk/Rlk deficient T cells; inositol triphosphate production, calcium mobilization, MAP kinase activation, and activation of the transcription factors NFAT and AP-1 are all reduced (Schaeffer et al, Science 284; 638-641 (1999), Schaeffer et al Nature Immunology 2, 12; 1183-1188 (2001)).
Tec family kinases are also essential for B cell development and activation. Patients with mutations in Btk have a profound block in B cell development, resulting in the almost complete absence of B lymphocytes and plasma cells, severely reduced Ig levels and a profound inhibition of humoral response to recall antigens (reviewed in Vihinen et al Frontiers in Bioscience 5:d917-928). Mice deficient in Btk also have a reduced number of peripheral B cells and greatly decreased levels of IgM and IgG3. Btk deletion in mice has a profound effect on B cell proliferation induced by anti-IgM, and inhibits immune responses to thymus-independent type II antigens (Ellmeier et al, J Exp Med 192:1611-1623 (2000)).
Tec kinases also play a role in mast cell activation through the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI). Itk and Btk are expressed in mast cells and are activated by FcεRI cross-linking (Kawakami et al, Journal of Immunology; 3556-3562 (1995)). Btk deficient murine mast cells have reduced degranulation and decreased production of proinflammatory cytokines following FcεRI cross-linking (Kawakami et al. Journal of leukocyte biology 65:286-290). Btk deficiency also results in a decrease of macrophage effector functions (Mukhopadhyay et al, Journal of Immunology; 168, 2914-2921 (2002)).
Accordingly, there is a great need to develop compounds useful as inhibitors of protein kinases. In particular, it would be desirable to develop compounds that are useful as inhibitors of Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) protein kinases, particularly given the inadequate treatments currently available for the majority of the disorders implicated in their activation.

Specifically, a compound 22 can be used as an intermediate compound in a process for preparing a compound 23. Compound 23 can then be carried on to a compound of formula I.




wherein:

    R10 is an amino protective group;
    R11 is H or C1-6 alkyl or R10 and R11 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound form an amine protective group;
    R12 is a hydroxyl protecting group; and
    R2 is as defined herein.


In one embodiment, compound 22 is reacted with an appropriate compound comprising R2 under appropriate reaction conditions to form compound 23. An example of an appropriate compound comprising R2 is R2—X, wherein X is an appropriate leaving group, such as a halo group. Appropriate reaction conditions are coupling conditions that allow bond formation between a boronic ester (or boronic acid) and R2—X. Appropriate leaving groups and appropriate coupling conditions are known to skilled practitioners (see, e.g., March, supra).
Compound 23 can be prepared by treating the boronic ester derivative 22 with a halide R2—Hal in the presence of palladium as a catalyst by using coupling methods that are well known in the art, e.g., by using Suzuki coupling.
Scheme XI depicts an example of using Suzuki coupling conditions in a method of this invention. In Scheme X1, R10 is a Cbz group, R11 is hydrogen, and R12 is a methyl group. Nevertheless, it should be understood that the reaction depicted in Scheme XI could be employed with compound 22 in the place of compound 6 and compound 23 in the place of 7.




Compound 23 can be also prepared by treating the boronic ester derivative 22 with a nitrogen containing saturated, partially unsaturated, or fully unsaturated monocyclic or bicyclic ring (as described in the R2 definition) by reacting through a nitrogen atom in the ring, in the presence of copper as a catalyst, e.g., by using coupling methods that are well known in the art (see, Chernick et al. J. Org. Chem. 2005, 1486) to provide 23 (wherein R2 is a 3-8-membered saturated, partially unsaturated, or fully unsaturated monocyclic ring having at least one nitrogen heteroatom; or an 8-12 membered saturated, partially unsaturated, or fully unsaturated bicyclic ring system having having at least one nitrogen heteroatom and R2 being optionally substituted with JR). Scheme XII depicts an example of cooper mediated coupling conditions in a method of this invention. In Scheme XII, R10 is a Cbz group, R11 is hydrogen, and R12 is a methyl group. Nevertheless, it should be understood that the reaction depicted in Scheme XII could be employed with compound 22 in the place of compound 6 and compound 23 in the place of 7.




In a process of this invention, compound 23 (and related compounds, such as compound 7) is converted to a compound of formula I by methods known to skilled practitioners including, but not limited to, those disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, the hydroxyl protective group in compound 23 is removed and then the amino protective group is removed. The resulting amine is reacted with an appropriate R1 containing intermediate to provide the compound of formula I. For specific examples of this embodiment, see Scheme IV and Scheme IX. In Scheme IV, R10 is a Cbz group, R11 is hydrogen, and R12 is a methyl group. Nevertheless, it should be understood that the reaction depicted in Scheme IV could be employed with compound 23 in the place of compound 7.
In another embodiment, the amino protective group in compound 23 is removed and then the resulting amine is reacted with an appropriate R1 containing intermediate to provide a compound X. A compound of formula I is provided by removing the hydroxyl protective group from compound X. For a specific example of this embodiment, see Scheme V. In Scheme V, R10 is a Cbz group, R11 is hydrogen, and R12 is a methyl group. Nevertheless, it should be understood that the reaction depicted in Scheme V could be employed with compound X in the place of compound 11 and compound XX in the place of compound 12.




In embodiments wherein X1 is —NR—, the amino protective group R11 may be a group R1—X2—. As would be recognized, in such embodiments, it would not be necessary to remove the amino protective group and replace it with an R1 containing group. Accordingly, to obtain a compound of formula I, compound 23 would be reacted under conditions suitable to remove the hydroxyl protective group (thus providing the compound of formula I). In embodiments where the R1C(═O)— group is incompatible with the boronic ester formation, the boronic ester could be formed with R10 being Cbz and then the Cbz group could be replaced with an R1 containing group after formation of the boronic ester. For a specific example of this embodiment, see Scheme VI. In Scheme V1, R10 (in compound 14) is R1C(═O)—, R11 is hydrogen, and R12 is a methyl group. Nevertheless, it should be understood that the reaction depicted in Scheme VI could be employed with compound 22 in the place of compound 6.
Alternatively, R10 in 23 may be converted to R1—X2—. That is, a functional group in R10 could be converted to the desired R1 containing group. Then, the hydroxyl protective group would be removed to provide the compound of formula I. For specific examples of this embodiment, see Scheme II and Scheme VII.
Compound 22 may be prepared by methods known to skilled practitioners including, but not limited to, methods disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an iodo compound 24 is reacted under conditions to form the boronic ester 22 (Scheme XIII). For a specific example of such conditions, see Scheme III. In Scheme III, R10 is a Cbz group, R11 is hydrogen, and R12 is a methyl group. Nevertheless, it should be understood that the reaction depicted in Scheme XII could be employed with compound 22 in the place of compound 6 and compound 23 in the place of 7.




It should be understood that instead of using a boronic ester 22 in a process of this invention, the corresponding boronic acid, could be used (Scheme XIV). The boronic acid could be used as a starting material or generated in situ. Compound 25 may be prepared by known methods including, but not limited to, conversion of boronic ester 22 to boronic acid 25.




The protective groups protect the amino and hydroxyl functional groups from reacting under conditions for converting the boronic ester or acid to the R2 group. Many amino protective groups and hydroxyl protective groups are known to skilled practitioners. Examples of such protective groups may be found in T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wutz, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, 3rd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1999) and earlier editions of this book and J. W. F. McOmie, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, Plenum Press (1973).

In certain embodiments of the present invention an “effective amount” of the compound or pharmaceutically acceptable composition is that amount effective for a Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk)-mediated disease. The compounds and compositions, according to the method of the present invention, may be administered using any amount and any route of administration effective for treating or lessening the severity of a Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk)-mediated disease. The exact amount required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the infection, the particular agent, its mode of administration, and the like. The compounds of the invention are preferably formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. The expression “dosage unit form” as used herein refers to a physically discrete unit of agent appropriate for the patient to be treated. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific effective dose level for any particular patient or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed, and like factors well known in the medical arts. The term “patient”, as used herein, means an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human.
The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, as an oral or nasal spray, or the like, depending on the severity of the infection being treated. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the invention may be administered orally or parenterally at dosage levels of about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg and preferably from about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.
The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.
In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present invention, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.
Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and I) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.
Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight glycols and the like.
The active compounds can also be in microencapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.
Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, eardrops, and eye drops are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. Additionally, the present invention contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
As described generally above, the compounds of the invention are useful as inhibitors of protein kinases. In one embodiment, the compounds and compositions of the invention are inhibitors of one or more of Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) kinase, and thus, without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the compounds and compositions are particularly useful for treating or lessening the severity of a disease, condition, or disorder where activation of one or more of a Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) kinase is implicated in the disease, condition, or disorder. When activation of Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) is implicated in a particular disease, condition, or disorder, the disease, condition, or disorder may also be referred to as a “Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk)-mediated disease” or disease symptom. Accordingly, in another aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating or lessening the severity of a disease, condition, or disorder where activation or one or more of Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) is implicated in the disease state.
Also without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the compounds and compositions of this invention are particularly useful for treating or lessening the severity of a disease, condition, or disorder where activation of Itk kinase is implicated in the disease, condition, or disorder and are particularly useful for inhibiting Itk selectively over Btk and Rlk (see, Examples 14-16 and 18).
The activity of a compound utilized in this invention as an inhibitor of a Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) kinase may be assayed in vitro, in vivo or in a cell line. In vitro assays include assays that determine inhibition of either the phosphorylation activity or ATPase activity of activated Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) kinase. Alternate in vitro assays quantitate the ability of the inhibitor to bind to a Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) kinase. Inhibitor binding may be measured by radiolabelling the inhibitor prior to binding, isolating the inhibitor/Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk), complex and determining the amount of radiolabel bound. Alternatively, inhibitor binding may be determined by running a competition experiment where new inhibitors are incubated with a Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) kinase bound to known radioligands.
The term “measurably inhibit”, as used herein means a measurable change in a Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) kinase activity between a sample comprising said composition and a Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) kinase and an equivalent sample comprising a Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) kinase in the absence of said composition.
The term “Tec family tyrosine kinases-mediated condition”, as used herein means any disease or other deleterious condition in which Tec family kinases are known to play a role. Such conditions include, without limitation, autoimmune, inflammatory, proliferative, and hyperproliferative diseases and immunologically mediated diseases including rejection of transplanted organs or tissues and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
For example, Tec family tyrosine kinases-mediated conditions include diseases of the respiratory tract including, without limitation, reversible obstructive airways diseases including asthma, such as bronchial, allergic, intrinsic, extrinsic and dust asthma, particularly chronic or inveterate asthma (e.g., late asthma airways hyper-responsiveness) and bronchitis. Additionally, Tec family tyrosine kinases diseases include, without limitation, those conditions by inflammation of the nasal mucus membrane, including acute rhinitis, allergic, atrophic thinitis and chronic rhinitis including rhinitis caseosa, hypertrophic rhinitis, rhinitis purulenta, rhinitis sicca and rhinitis medicamentosa; membranous rhinitis including croupous, fibrinous and pseudomembranous rhinitis and scrofoulous rhinitis, seasonal rhinitis including rhinitis nervosa (hay fever) and vasomotor rhinitis, sarcoidosis, farmer's lung and related diseases, fibroid lung and idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.
Tec family tyrosine kinases-mediated conditions also include diseases of the bone and joints including, without limitation, (pannus formation in) rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative spondyloarthropathic (including ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and Reiter's disease), Behcet's disease, Sjogren's syndrome, and systemic sclerosis.
Tec family kinases-mediated conditions also include diseases and disorders of the skin, including, without limitation, psoriasis, systemic sclerosis, atopical dermatitis, contact dermatitis and other eczematous dermatitis, seborrhoetic dermatitis, Lichen planus, Pemphigus, bullous Pemphigus, epidermolysis bullosa, urticaria, angiodermas, vasculitides, erythemas, cutaneous eosinophilias, uveitis, Alopecia, greata and vernal conjunctivitis.
Tec family tyrosine kinases-mediated conditions also include diseases and disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including, without limitation, Coeliac disease, proctitis, eosinophilic gastro-enteritis, mastocytosis, pancreatitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, food-related allergies which have effects remote from the gut, e.g., migraine, rhinitis and eczema.
Tec family tyrosine kinases-mediated conditions also include those diseases and disorders of other tissues and systemic disease, including, without limitation, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), lupus erythematosus, systemic lupus, erythematosus, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, myasthenia gravis, type I diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, eosinophilia fascitis, hyper IgE syndrome, lepromatous leprosy, sezary syndrome and idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, restenosis following angioplasty, tumours (for example leukemia, lymphomas), artherosclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.

It will also be appreciated that the compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present invention can be employed in combination therapies, that is, the compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions can be administered concurrently with, prior to, or subsequent to, one or more other desired therapeutics or medical procedures. The particular combination of therapies (therapeutics or procedures) to employ in a combination regimen will take into account compatibility of the desired therapeutics and/or procedures and the desired therapeutic effect to be achieved. It will also be appreciated that the therapies employed may achieve a desired effect for the same disorder (for example, an inventive compound may be administered concurrently with another agent used to treat the same disorder), or they may achieve different effects (e.g., control of any adverse effects). As used herein, additional therapeutic agents that are normally administered to treat or prevent a particular disease, or condition, are known as “appropriate for the disease, or condition, being treated”.
Additional therapeutic agents that may be used in the methods of this invention include, but are not limited to, agents for the treatment of an autoimmune, inflammatory, proliferative, hyperproliferative disease, or an immunologically-mediated disease including rejection of transplanted organs or tissues and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), wherein the additional therapeutic agent is appropriate for the disease being treated; and the additional therapeutic agent is administered together with said composition as a single dosage form or separately from said composition as part of a multiple dosage form.

Other examples of agents the inhibitors of this invention may also be combined with include, without limitation: treatments for Alzheimer's Disease such as Aricept® and Excelon®; treatments for Parkinson's Disease such as L-DOPA/carbidopa, entacapone, ropinrole, pramipexole, bromocriptine, pergolide, trihexephendyl, and amantadine; agents for treating Multiple Sclerosis (MS) such as beta interferon (e.g., Avonex® and Rebif®), Copaxone®, and mitoxantrone; treatments for asthma such as albuterol and Singulair®; agents for treating schizophrenia such as zyprexa, risperdal, seroquel, and haloperidol; anti-inflammatory agents such as corticosteroids, TNF blockers, IL-1 RA, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, and sulfasalazine; immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive agents such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus, rapamycin, mycophenolate mofetil, interferons, corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, and sulfasalazine; neurotrophic factors such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, MAO inhibitors, interferons, anti-convulsants, ion channel blockers, riluzole, and anti-Parkinsonian agents; agents for treating cardiovascular disease such as beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, nitrates, calcium channel blockers, and statins; agents for treating liver disease such as corticosteroids, cholestyramine, interferons, and anti-viral agents; agents for treating blood disorders such as corticosteroids, anti-leukemic agents, and growth factors; and agents for treating immunodeficiency disorders such as gamma globulin.
The amount of additional therapeutic agent present in the compositions of this invention will be no more than the amount that would normally be administered in a composition comprising that therapeutic agent as the only active agent. Preferably the amount of additional therapeutic agent in the presently disclosed compositions will range from about 50% to 100% of the amount normally present in a composition comprising that agent as the only therapeutically active agent.
The compounds of this invention or pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof may also be incorporated into compositions for coating implantable medical devices, such as prostheses, artificial valves, vascular grafts, stents and catheters. Accordingly, the present invention, in another aspect, includes a composition for coating an implantable device comprising a compound of the present invention as described generally above, and in classes and subclasses herein, and a carrier suitable for coating said implantable device. In still another aspect, the present invention includes an implantable device coated with a composition comprising a compound of the present invention as described generally above, and in classes and subclasses herein, and a carrier suitable for coating said implantable device.
Vascular stents, for example, have been used to overcome restenosis (re-narrowing of the vessel wall after injury). However, patients using stents or other implantable devices risk clot formation or platelet activation. These unwanted effects may be prevented or mitigated by pre-coating the device with a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising a kinase inhibitor. Suitable coatings and the general preparation of coated implantable devices are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,099,562; 5,886,026; and 5,304,121. The coatings are typically biocompatible polymeric materials such as a hydrogel polymer, polymethyldisiloxane, polycaprolactone, polyethylene glycol, polylactic acid, ethylene vinyl acetate, and mixtures thereof. The coatings may optionally be further covered by a suitable topcoat of fluorosilicone, polysaccarides, polyethylene glycol, phospholipids or combinations thereof to impart controlled release characteristics in the composition.
Another aspect of the invention relates to inhibiting Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) activity in a biological sample or a patient, which method comprises administering to the patient, or contacting said biological sample with a compound of formula I or a composition comprising said compound. The term “biological sample”, as used herein, includes, without limitation, cell cultures or extracts thereof; biopsied material obtained from a mammal or extracts thereof; and blood, saliva, urine, feces, semen, tears, or other body fluids or extracts thereof.
Inhibition of Tec family (e.g., Tec, Btk, Itk/Emt/Tsk, Bmx, Txk/Rlk) kinase activity in a biological sample is useful for a variety of purposes that are known to one of skill in the art. Examples of such purposes include, but are not limited to, blood transfusion, organ-transplantation, biological specimen storage, and biological assays.

Example 12




2-Oxo-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid phenylamide III-1
To a solution of 2-Oxo-5-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (44 g, 0.20 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) were successively added aniline (20 μL, 0.23 mmol), hydroxybenzotriazole (30 mg, 0.23 mmol), dimethylaminopyridine (27 mg, 0.23 mmol) and EDC (43 mg, 0.23 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with DCM containing 10% of MeOH to afford the title compound as a white solid (20 mg, 34% yield). MS (ES+) 291. δH (DMSO-d6) 7.2 (3H, m), 7.9 (1H, t), 8.5 (1H, d), 8.6 (2H, m), 9.3 (1H, s).

ITK Inhibition Assay
Compounds were screened for their ability to inhibit Itk using a radioactive-phosphate incorporation assay. Assays were carried out in a mixture of 100 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 25 mM NaCl, 0.01% BSA and 1 mM DTT. Final substrate concentrations were 15 μM [γ-33P]ATP (400mCi 33P ATP/mmol ATP, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech/Sigma Chemicals) and 2 μM peptide (SAM68 protein D332-443). Assays were carried out at 25° C. in the presence of 30 nM Itk. An assay stock buffer solution was prepared containing all of the reagents listed above, with the exception of ATP and the test compound of interest. 50 μL of the stock solution was placed in a 96 well plate followed by addition of 1.5 μL of DMSO stock containing serial dilutions of the test compound (typically starting from a final concentration of 15 μM with 2-fold serial dilutions) in duplicate (final DMSO concentration 1.5%). The plate was pre-incubated for 10 minutes at 25° C. and the reaction initiated by addition of 50 μL [γ-33P]ATP (final concentration 15 μM).
The reaction was stopped after 10 minutes by the addition of 50 μL of a TCA/ATP mixture (20% TCA, 0.4 mM ATP). A Unifilter GF/C 96 well plate (Perkin Elmer Life Sciences, Cat no. 6005174) was pretreated with 50 μL Milli Q water prior to the addition of the entire reaction mixture (150 μL). The plate was washed with 2004, Milli Q water followed by 200 mL of a TCA/ATP mixture (5% TCA, 1 mM ATP). This wash cycle was repeated a further 2 times. After drying, 30 μL Optiphase ‘SuperMix’ liquid scintillation cocktail (Perkin Elmer) was added to the well prior to scintillation counting (1450 Microbeta Liquid Scintillation Counter, Wallac).
IC50 data were calculated from non-linear regression analysis of the initial rate data using the Prism software package (GraphPad Prism version 3.0cx for Macintosh, GraphPad Software, San Diego Calif., USA).
Assays were carried out in a mixture of 20 mM MOPS (pH 7.0), 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA and 1 mM DTT. Final substrate concentrations in the assay were 7.5 μM [γ-33P]ATP (400mCi 33P ATP/mmol ATP, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech/Sigma Chemicals) and 3 μM peptide (SAM68 protein D332-443). Assays were carried out at 25° C. in the presence of 50 nM Itk. An assay stock buffer solution was prepared containing all of the reagents listed above, with the exception of ATP and the test compound of interest. 50 μL of the stock solution was placed in a 96 well plate followed by addition of 2 μL of DMSO stock containing serial dilutions of the test compound (typically starting from a final concentration of 50 μM with 2-fold serial dilutions) in duplicate (final DMSO concentration 2%). The plate was pre-incubated for 10 minutes at 25° C. and the reaction initiated by addition of 50 μL [γ-33P]ATP (final concentration 7.5 μM).
The reaction was stopped after 10 minutes by the addition of 100 mL 0.2M phosphoric acid+0.01% TWEEN 20. A multiscreen phosphocellulose filter 96-well plate (Millipore, Cat no. MAPHN0B50) was pretreated with 100 μL 0.2M phosphoric acid+0.01% TWEEN 20 prior to the addition of 170 mL of the stopped assay mixture. The plate was washed with 4×200 μL 0.2M phosphoric acid+0.01% TWEEN 20. After drying, 30 μL Optiphase ‘SuperMix’ liquid scintillation cocktail (Perkin Elmer) was added to the well prior to scintillation counting (1450 Microbeta Liquid Scintillation Counter, Wallac).
Ki(app) data were calculated from non-linear regression analysis of the initial rate data using the Prism software package (GraphPad Prism version 3.0cx for Macintosh, GraphPad Software, San Diego Calif., USA).

Assays were carried out at 25° C. and in the presence of 25 nM Btk. An assay stock buffer solution was prepared containing all of the reagents listed above, with the exception of the peptide and the test compound of interest. 75 μL of the stock solution was placed in a 96 well plate followed by addition of 2 μL of DMSO stock containing serial dilutions of the test compound (typically starting from a final concentration of 15 μM) in duplicate (final DMSO concentration 2%). The plate was preincubated for 15 minutes at 25° C. and the reaction initiated by addition of 25 μL peptide (final concentration 2 μM). Background counts were determined by the addition of 100 mL 0.2M phosphoric acid+0.01% TWEEN to control wells containing assay stock buffer and DMSO prior to initiation with peptide.
The reaction was stopped after 10 minutes by the addition of 100 mL 0.2M phosphoric acid+0.01% TWEEN. A multiscreen phosphocellulose filter 96-well plate (Millipore, Cat no. MAPHN0B50) was pretreated with 100 μL 0.2M phosphoric acid+0.01% TWEEN 20 prior to the addition of 170 mL of the stopped assay mixture. The plate was washed with 4×200 μL 0.2M phosphoric acid+0.01% TWEEN 20. After drying, 30 μL Optiphase ‘SuperMix’ liquid scintillation cocktail (Perkin Elmer) was added to the well prior to scintillation counting (1450 Microbeta Liquid Scintillation Counter, Wallac).
After removing mean background values for all of the data points, Ki(app) data were calculated from non-linear regression analysis using the Prism software package (GraphPad Prism version 3.0cx for Macintosh, GraphPad Software, San Diego Calif., USA).
In general, compounds of the invention, including compounds in Table 1, are effective for the inhibition of Btk. Preferred compounds showed Ki above 0.5 μM in the radioactive incorporation assay (II-43, II-61, II-114, II-149).
