CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present application claims priority to U.S. provisional application No. 61/793,113, filed Mar. 15, 2013, and European application number EP14305361, filed Mar. 13, 2014, the entirety of each of which is hereby incorporated by reference.


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 compounds of the present invention and methods of using said compositions in the treatment of various disorders.
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. 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.).
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 remains a need to find protein kinase inhibitors useful as therapeutic agents.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like.
Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and N+(C1-4alkyl)4 salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, loweralkyl sulfonate and aryl sulfonate.
Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all isomeric (e.g., enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational)) forms of the structure; for example, the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center, Z and E double bond isomers, and Z and E conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational) mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention. Additionally, unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures including the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by a 13C- or 14C-enriched carbon are within the scope of this invention. Such compounds are useful, for example, as analytical tools, as probes in biological assays, or as therapeutic agents in accordance with the present invention. In some embodiments, the R1 group comprises one or more deuterium atoms.
As used herein, the term “irreversible” or “irreversible inhibitor” refers to an inhibitor (i.e. a compound) that is able to be covalently bonded to a target protein kinase in a substantially non-reversible manner. That is, whereas a reversible inhibitor is able to bind to (but is generally unable to form a covalent bond) the target protein kinase, and therefore can become dissociated from the target protein kinase, an irreversible inhibitor will remain substantially bound to the target protein kinase once covalent bond formation has occurred. Irreversible inhibitors usually display time dependency, whereby the degree of inhibition increases with the time with which the inhibitor is in contact with the enzyme. In certain embodiments, an irreversible inhibitor will remain substantially bound to a kinase once covalent bond formation has occurred and will remain bound for a time period that is longer than the life of the protein.
Methods for identifying if a compound is acting as an irreversible inhibitor are known to one of ordinary skill in the art. Such methods include, but are not limited to, enzyme kinetic analysis of the inhibition profile of the compound with the protein kinase target, the use of mass spectrometry of the protein drug target modified in the presence of the inhibitor compound, discontinuous exposure, also known as “washout,” experiments, and the use of labeling, such as radiolabelled inhibitor, to show covalent modification of the enzyme, as well as other methods known to one of skill in the art.
One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that certain reactive functional groups can act as “warheads.” As used herein, the term “warhead” or “warhead group” refers to a functional group present on a compound of the present invention wherein that functional group is capable of covalently binding to an amino acid residue (such as cysteine, lysine, histidine, or other residues capable of being covalently modified) present in the binding pocket of the target protein, thereby irreversibly inhibiting the protein. It will be appreciated that the -L-Y group, as defined and described herein, provides such warhead groups for covalently, and irreversibly, inhibiting the protein. In certain instances, a “pro-warhead group” is used in place of a warhead groups. Such pro-warhead groups convert to a warhead group in vivo or in vitro.
As used herein, the term “inhibitor” is defined as a compound that binds to and/or inhibits the target protein kinase with measurable affinity. In certain embodiments, an inhibitor has an IC50 and/or binding constant of less about 50 μM, less than about 1 μM, less than about 500 nM, less than about 100 nM, or less than about 10 nM.
The terms “measurable affinity” and “measurably inhibit,” as used herein, means a measurable change in FGFR4 activity between a sample comprising a compound of the present invention, or composition thereof, and FGFR4, and an equivalent sample comprising FGFR4, in the absence of said compound, or composition thereof.
Combinations of substituents and variables envisioned by this invention are only those that result in the formation of stable compounds. The term “stable”, as used herein, refers to compounds which possess stability sufficient to allow manufacture and which maintains the integrity of the compound for a sufficient period of time to be useful for the purposes detailed herein (e.g., therapeutic or prophylactic administration to a subject).
The recitation of a listing of chemical groups in any definition of a variable herein includes definitions of that variable as any single group or combination of listed groups. The recitation of an embodiment for a variable herein includes that embodiment as any single embodiment or in combination with any other embodiments or portions thereof.

The amount of a compound of the present invention in the composition will also depend upon the particular compound in the composition.
Uses of Compounds and Pharmaceutically Acceptable Compositions
Compounds and compositions described herein are generally useful for the inhibition of protein kinase activity of one or more enzymes.
Drug resistance is emerging as a significant challenge for targeted therapies. For example, drug resistance has been reported for Gleevec® and Iressa®, as well as several other kinase inhibitors in development. In addition, drug resistance has been reported for the cKit and PDGFR receptors. It has been reported that irreversible inhibitors may be effective against drug resistant forms of protein kinases (Kwak, E. L., R. Sordella, et al. (2005). “Irreversible inhibitors of the EGF receptor may circumvent acquired resistance to gefitinib.” PNAS 102(21): 7665-7670.) Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the compounds of the present invention are effective inhibitors of drug resistant forms of protein kinases.
Examples of kinases that are inhibited by the compounds and compositions described herein and against which the methods described herein are useful include FGFR4, or a mutant thereof. In some embodiments, a provided compound inhibits FGFR4 selectively as compared to other FGFR kinases.
The activity of a compound utilized in this invention as a test compound of FGFR4, or a mutant thereof, 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 and/or the subsequent functional consequences, or ATPase activity of activated FGFR4, or a mutant thereof. Alternate in vitro assays quantitate the ability of the test compound to bind to FGFR4 Inhibitor binding may be measured by radiolabeling the inhibitor prior to binding, isolating the test compound/FGFR4 complex and determining the amount of radiolabel bound. Alternatively, test compound binding may be determined by running a competition experiment where new test compounds are incubated with FGFR4 bound to known radioligands. Detailed conditions for assaying a compound utilized in this invention as a test compound of FGFR4, or a mutant thereof, are set forth in the Examples below.
Protein tyrosine kinases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP or GTP to a tyrosine residue located on a protein substrate. Receptor tyrosine kinases act to transmit signals from the outside of a cell to the inside by activating secondary messaging effectors via a phosphorylation event. A variety of cellular processes are promoted by these signals, including proliferation, carbohydrate utilization, protein synthesis, angiogenesis, cell growth, and cell survival.
(a) FGFR Family
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) receptors regulates a diverse array of physiologic functions including mitogenesis, wound healing, cell differentiation and angiogenesis, and development. Both normal and malignant cell growth as well as proliferation are affected by changes in local concentration of FGFs, extracellular signalling molecules which act as autocrine as well as paracrine factors. Autocrine FGF signalling may be particularly important in the progression of steroid hormone-dependent cancers to a hormone independent state (Powers, et al. (2000) Endocr. Relat. Cancer, 7, 165-197).
FGFs and their receptors are expressed at increased levels in several tissues and cell lines and overexpression is believed to contribute to the malignant phenotype.
The two prototypic members are acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF or FGF1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF or FGF2), and to date, at least twenty distinct FGF family members have been identified. The cellular response to FGFs is transmitted via four types of high affinity transmembrane protein tyrosine-kinase fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) numbered 1 to 4 (FGFR1 to FGFR4). Upon ligand binding, the receptors dimerize and auto- or trans-phosphorylate specific cytoplasmic tyrosine residues to transmit an intracellular signal that ultimately regulates nuclear transcription factor effectors.
Compounds which inhibit FGFR will be useful in providing a means of preventing the growth or inducing apoptosis in tumors, particularly by inhibiting angiogenesis. It is therefore anticipated that the compounds will prove useful in treating or preventing proliferative disorders such as cancers. In particular tumours with activating mutants of receptor tyrosine kinases or upregulation of receptor tyrosine kinases may be particularly sensitive to the inhibitors.
Various studies described targeting of either FGFR4 kinase activity or its ligand FGF 19 with an antibody antagonist inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis in cell line models. Ho et al (2009) Journal of Hepatology, 50 showed that one third of patients with a common polymorphism in the FGFR4 gene expressed high levels of mRNA and these tumours were associated with high secreted levels of the hepatocellular carcinoma marker alpha-fetoprotein.
In certain embodiments, the invention provides a method for inhibiting FGFR4, or a mutant thereof, activity in a patient or in a biological sample comprising the step of administering to said patient or contacting said biological sample with a compound according to the invention.
In certain embodiments, the FGFR4, or a mutant thereof, activity is inhibited irreversibly. In certain embodiments, FGFR4, or a mutant thereof, activity is inhibited irreversibly by covalently modifying Cys 552 of FGFR4.
In certain embodiments, the invention provides a method for treating a FGFR4-mediated disorder in a patient in need thereof, comprising the step of administering to said patient a compound according to the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable composition thereof.
In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method for treating hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient in need thereof, comprising the step of administering to said patient a compound according to the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable composition thereof.
In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method for treating Rhabdomyosarcoma, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, or cancer of a head or neck, in a patient in need thereof, comprising the step of administering to said patient a compound according to the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable composition thereof.
As used herein, the term “clinical drug resistance” refers to the loss of susceptibility of a drug target to drug treatment as a consequence of mutations in the drug target.
As used herein, the term “resistance” refers to changes in the wild-type nucleic acid sequence coding a target protein, and/or the protein sequence of the target, which changes decrease or abolish the inhibitory effect of the inhibitor on the target protein.
As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “treat,” and “treating” refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease or disorder, or one or more symptoms thereof, as described herein. In some embodiments, treatment is administered after one or more symptoms have developed. In other embodiments, treatment is administered in the absence of symptoms. For example, treatment is administered to a susceptible individual prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms and/or in light of genetic or other susceptibility factors). Treatment is also continued after symptoms have resolved, for example to prevent or delay their recurrence.
The compounds and compositions, according to the method of the present invention, are administered using any amount and any route of administration effective for treating or lessening the severity of a disorder provided above. 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. 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.
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 are 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 optionally 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 are formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation are also 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.
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 is 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 also optionally comprise buffering agents.
Solid compositions of a similar type are also 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 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 are also employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like.
The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated 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 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 optionally also comprise buffering agents. They 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 required. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, 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.

5. Probe Compounds
In certain aspects, a compound of the present invention is tethered to a detectable moiety to form a probe compound. In one aspect, a probe compound of the invention comprises an irreversible protein kinase inhibitor of any formulae as described herein, a detectable moiety, and a tethering moiety that attaches the inhibitor to the detectable moiety.
In some embodiments, such probe compounds of the present invention comprise a provided compound of any formulae as described herein, tethered to a detectable moiety, Rt, by a bivalent tethering moiety, -T1-. The tethering moiety is attached to a compound of the invention via Ring A, Ring B, or R1. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that when a tethering moiety is attached to R1, R1 is a bivalent warhead group denoted as R1′. In certain embodiments, a provided probe compound is selected from any of formula I-t:




wherein each of Ring A, R1, R2, R3, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, G, Y, T, and q, is as defined above, and described in classes and subclasses herein, R2′ is a bivalent R2; T1 is a bivalent tethering moiety; and Rt is a detectable moiety.

In some embodiments, Rt is a detectable moiety selected from a primary label or a secondary label. In certain embodiments, Rt is a detectable moiety selected from a fluorescent label (e.g., a fluorescent dye or a fluorophore), a mass-tag, a chemiluminescent group, a chromophore, an electron dense group, or an energy transfer agent. In some embodiments, Rt is biotin, biotin sulfoxide, a radioisotope, or a fluorescent label.
As used herein, the term “detectable moiety” is used interchangeably with the term “label” and “reporter” and relates to any moiety capable of being detected, e.g., primary labels and secondary labels. A presence of a detectable moiety can be measured using methods for quantifying (in absolute, approximate or relative terms) the detectable moiety in a system under study. In some embodiments, such methods are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art and include any methods that quantify a reporter moiety (e.g., a label, a dye, a photocrosslinker, a cytotoxic compound, a drug, an affinity label, a photoaffinity label, a reactive compound, an antibody or antibody fragment, a biomaterial, a nanoparticle, a spin label, a fluorophore, a metal-containing moiety, a radioactive moiety, quantum dot(s), a novel functional group, a group that covalently or noncovalently interacts with other molecules, a photocaged moiety, an actinic radiation excitable moiety, a ligand, a photoisomerizable moiety, biotin, a biotin analog (e.g., biotin sulfoxide), a moiety incorporating a heavy atom, a chemically cleavable group, a photocleavable group, a redox-active agent, an isotopically labeled moiety, a biophysical probe, a phosphorescent group, a chemiluminescent group, an electron dense group, a magnetic group, an intercalating group, a chromophore, an energy transfer agent, a biologically active agent, a detectable label, and any combination of the above).
Primary labels, such as radioisotopes (e.g., tritium, 32P, 33P, 35S, 14C, 123I, 124I, 125I, or 131I) mass-tags are stable isotopes (e.g., 13C, 2H, 17O, 18O, 15N, 19F, and 127I), positron emitting isotopes (e.g., 11C, 18F, 13N, 124I, and 15O), and fluorescent labels, which are signal generating reporter groups which can be detected without further modifications. Detectable moities are analyzed by methods. Exemplary methods are fluorescence, positron emission tomography, SPECT medical imaging, chemiluminescence, electron-spin resonance, ultraviolet/visible absorbance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic resonance, flow cytometry, autoradiography, scintillation counting, phosphoimaging, and electrochemical methods.
The term “secondary label” as used herein refers to moieties such as biotin and various protein antigens that require the presence of a second intermediate for production of a detectable signal. For biotin, the secondary intermediate includes streptavidin-enzyme conjugates. For antigen labels, secondary intermediates include antibody-enzyme conjugates. Some fluorescent groups act as secondary labels because they transfer energy to another group in the process of nonradiative fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET), and the second group produces the detected signal.

Example 257: Protein Mass Modification Assays
An FGFR4 intact protein (from either SignalChem (method a in Table 9) or Invitrogen (method b in Table 9), and a compound of the invention (10-fold excess of Compound to protein) were incubated for 60 min. After incubation, 5 μL aliquots of the samples were diluted with 15 μL of 0.2% TFA prior to desalting using a micro C4 ZipTip protocol, which was added directly onto the MALDI target using sinapinic acid as the desorption matrix (10 mg/mL in 0.1% TFA:Acetonitrile 50:50, v/v). The centroid mass of FGFR4 in the control sample was compared with the centroid mass of FGFR4 incubated with the compound of the invention. A shift in the centroid mass of the treated FGFR4 compared to the untreated FGFR4 was divided by the molecular weight of the compound of the invention. This calculation provided the percentage of modified protein after one hour incubation. This assay confirms whether or not the FGFR4 target is covalently bound to a test compound (i.e., whether the protein's mass is modified).
For example, to assess mass modification of FGFR4 with I-1, intact FGFR4 (Invitrogen, Cat. No.: P3054) was incubated alone and with I-1 (10-fold excess of I-1 to protein). After 60 minutes, the protein samples were diluted and prepared as described above. The centroid mass of the protein (m/z: 42761.7; shown in FIG. 1, panel A) was compared with the centroid mass of the treated protein (m/z: 43350.2; shown FIG. 1, panel B). The centroid mass shift of 589 Da (87%), indicated complete modification of FGFR4 by I-1. Other compounds also were tested in this fashion. The results of these experiments are depicted in Table 9.
Tables 9, 10, and 11 show the activities of selected compounds of this invention in various FGFR assays. Compound numbers in Tables 9, 10 and 11 correspond to the Compound numbers above.
Compounds having an activity designated as “A” provided an EC50/IC50/GI50≦100 nM; compounds having an activity designated as “B” provided an EC50/IC50/GI50 of 101-500 nM; compounds having an activity designated as “C” provided an EC50/IC50/GI50 of 501-999 nM; compounds having an activity designated as “D” provided an EC50/IC50/GI50 of ≧1000 nM.
Compounds having an activity designated as “E” provided a mass modification of ≧70%; compounds having an activity designated as “F” provided a mass modification of 31-69%; compounds having an activity designated as “G” proived a mass modification ≦30%.

Example 257: Omnia Assay Protocol for Potency Assessment Against FGFR 4 Enzyme
A 10× stock solution of FGFR4-WT (PR4380C or P3054), (from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) corresponding to method a in Table 10, was prepared as described below. Alternatively, a 10× stock solution of FGFR4-WT (F01-11G), (SignalChem, Richmond, BC) corresponding to method b in Table 10, was prepared as described below. A solution of 1.4×ATP (AS001A) and 5×Tyr-Sox conjugated peptide substrate (KNZ3101) were prepared in 1× kinase reaction buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 5 mM β-glycerophosphate, 5% glycerol (10× stock, KB002A) and 0.2 mM DTT (DS001A). 5 μL of FGFR4 was pipetted into a Corning (#3574) 384-well, white, non-binding surface microtiter plate (Corning, N.Y.), containing a 0.5 μL volume of 100% DMSO. The serially diluted compounds were prepared on a Tecan EVO100. A second addition of 10 μl of Tyr-Sox FGFR4 substrate was added to each well and the kinase reactions were started with the addition of 35 μL of 1.4×ATP. The reactions were monitored every 71 seconds for 240 minutes at λex360/λem485 in a Synergy plate reader from BioTek (Winooski, Vt.). At the conclusion of each assay, progress curves from each well were examined for linear reaction kinetics and fit statistics (R2, 95% confidence interval, absolute sum of squares). Initial velocity (0 minutes to  ̃60 minutes) from each reaction was determined from the slope of a plot of relative fluorescence units vs time (seconds) and then plotted against inhibitor concentration to estimate IC50 from log [Inhibitor] vs Response (Variable Slope model in GraphPad Prism from GraphPad Software (San Diego, Calif.)). Methods:

[FGFR4-WT]=10 nM, [ATP]=300 uM, [Y10-Sox]=10 uM (ATP KMapp ̃300 uM),  a)

[FGFR4-WT]=2.5 nM, [ATP]=250 uM, [Y10-Sox]=10 uM (ATP KMapp ̃250 uM),  b)

Example 258: FGFR4 Signaling
Preparation of Cells: MDA-MB-453 (breast carcinoma) and Huh7 (hepatocellular carcinoma) cells were used. Huh7 cells were grown in DMEM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) supplemented with 10% FBS (Invitrogen) and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin (P/S, Lonza, Walkersville, Md.). MDA-MB-453 cells were grown in complete RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen), supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% P/S. All cells were maintained and propagated as monolayer cultures at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator.
For the MSD and ELISA assays, total FGFR4 antibodies were obtained from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, Minn.) and used at 1:500. For the immunoblotting (Western blotting) assay, total FGFR4 antibody was obtained from Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz, Calif.) and used at 1:1000. Phospho-FGFR antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling (Danvers, Mass.) or R&D Systems and used at 1:1000. The phopho-FGFR antibody from Cell Signaling was used for immunoblotting, whereas the phopho-FGFR antibody from R&D was used for MSD and ELISA assays. Secondary antibodies were used at 1:10,000. The goat anti-mouse IgG IRDye 800CW antibody was obtained from LiCor Biosciences (Lincoln, Nebr.) and the goat anti-rabbit IgG Alexa Fluor 680 was obtained from Invitrogen. The anti-rabbit Sulfo-tag and anti-streptavidin Sulfo-tag antibodies was obtained from Meso Scale Discovery (Gaithersburg, Md.), and were used at 1:1000 and 1:5000, respectively.
Immunoblotting (Western Blotting, WB)—Method A (Only for MDA-MB-453)
For MDA-MB-453 cells signaling, cells were grown in 96-well poly-D-lysine plates (BD Bioscience, San Jose, Calif.) to 90% confluence, and were then incubated in low-serum (0.1% FBS) media for 16-18 hr. The cells were then treated with 5, 1.25, 0.31, 0.078, 0.020 or 0.005 μM of test compound in low-serum (0.1% FBS) media for 1 hr. After treatment, the cells were washed with cold PBS (Invitrogen) and were immediately lysed by freeze/thawing 3× in 32 μL of cold Cell Extraction Buffer (Invitrogen) which was supplemented with Complete Protease inhibitors (Roche, Indianapolis, Ind.) and PhosphoSTOP (Roche) phosphatase inhibitors.
The MDA-MB-453 protein concentrations were determined by a BCA Assay (Pierce, Rockford, Ill.). A sample of 50-100 μg of each lysate was separated by a 4-12% gradient (SDS-PAGE (Invitrogen)), transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Biorad, Hercules, Calif.), and probed with specific antibodies. Phospho-protein signals were quantitated using Odyssey Infrared Imaging (Li-Cor Biosciences).
To assess phospho-FGFR signaling, the blots were probed with anti-Phospho-FGFR (Y653/Y654) and total anti-FGFR antibodies. The phospho-FGFR signal was normalized to total FGFR expression for each sample. The results are indicated as % DMSO control. The normalized data was fitted using a sigmoidal curve analysis program (Graph Pad Prism version 5) with variable Hill slope to determine the EC50 values. The results are provided in Table 11, under the column titled “Signaling EC50 (nM)”.
Meso Scale Assay (MSD)—Method B (for both MDA-MB-453 and Huh7)
MDA-MB-453 and Huh7 cells were grown in 96-well poly-D-lysine plates (BD Bioscience, San Jose, Calif.) to 90% confluence. The cells were then incubated in low-serum (0.1% FBS) media for 16-18 hr. and then treated with 5, 1.67, 0.56, 0.185, 0.068, 0.021 or 0.007 μM of test compound in low-serum (0.1% FBS) media for 1 hr. After treatment, the cells were washed with cold PBS (Invitrogen), and were immediately lysed by freeze/thawing 3× in 32 μL of cold Cell Extraction Buffer (Invitrogen), which was supplemented with Complete Protease inhibitors (Roche) and PhosphoSTOP (Roche) phosphatase inhibitors.
MSD plates (Meso Scale Discovery) were coated with total FGFR-4 antibodies overnight at 4° C. A lysate (25 μL) was added to the MSD plate overnight at 4° C. The MSD signals were obtained by incubating with a phospho-FGFR antibody (R&D Systems) and an anti-rabbit sulfo-tag antibody (Meso Scale), for 2 hr at room temperature. The results are indicated as % DMSO control. The data was fitted using a sigmoidal curve analysis program (Graph Pad Prism version 5) with variable Hill slope to determine the EC50 values. The results are provided in Table 11, under the column titled “Signaling EC50 (nM)”.
ELISA—Method C (Only for MDA-MB-453)
MDA-MB-453 cells were grown in 96-well poly-D-lysine plates (BD Bioscience, San Jose, Calif.) to 90% confluence. The cells were then incubated in low-serum (0.1% FBS) media for 16-18 hr. The MDA-MB-453 cells were then treated with 5, 1.67, 0.56, 0.185, 0.068, 0.021 or 0.007 μM of test compound in low-serum (0.1% FBS) media for 1 hr. After treatment, the MDA-MB-453 cells were washed with cold PBS (Invitrogen) and were immediately lysed by freeze/thawing 3× in 32 μL of cold Cell Extraction Buffer (Invitrogen), which was supplemented with Complete Protease inhibitors (Roche) and PhosphoSTOP (Roche) phosphatase inhibitors.
Nunc-immuno plates (96-well; Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.) were coated with total FGFR-4 antibodies overnight at 4° C. A lysate (25 μL) was added to the plate for 2 hr at room temperature. A phospho-FGFR detection antibody (100 μL) was added per well for 2 hr at room temperature, followed by a goat anti-rabbit HRP antibody (100 μL) for 45 min. The results are indicated as % DMSO control. The data was fitted using a sigmoidal curve analysis program (Graph Pad Prism version 5) with variable Hill slope to determine the EC50 values.
The results of these experiments show the ability of the compounds of the invention to inhibit phosphor-signaling of FGFR4 in cells. The results are depicted in Table 11 under the column titled “Signaling EC50 (nM)”. MDA-MB-453 cell results fall under the heading “pFGFR4 (MDA)” and Huh7 results fall under the heading “pFGFR4 (Huh)”
Example 259: Cell Proliferation
MDA-MB-453 and Huh7 cells were plated in the appropriate Growth Media supplemented with 5% FBS and 1% P/S in a 96 well tissue culture plates (Corning), as indicated in Table 11. For both MDA-MB-453 and Huh7 cells the starting density was 5000 cells per well. The cells were allowed to settle down for 4 hr and were then treated with 5, 1.25, 0.31, 0.078, 0.020 or 0.005 μM of test compound for: 96 hr for MDA-MB-453 and 120 hr for Huh7 cells. Cell viability was determined by CellTiter Glo (Promega, Madison, Wis.) and the results were converted to cell numbers using a standard curve. The growth inhibition (GI50) values were determined by Graph Pad Prism.
The results of these experiments show the ability of compounds to inhibit cell growth in FGFR dependant cell lines and are depicted in Table 11, in the columns titled “Cell Proliferation GI50 (nM)”. MDA-MB-453 cell results fall under the heading “MDA” and Huh7 cell results fall under the heading “Huh.”
Example 260: Target Occupancy Assay
In order to assess free FGFR4 protein a biotinylated covalent probe was utilized. As described in Example 235, Method B, MDA-MB-453 cells were treated with test comound, washed, and lysed. Each lysate (25 μL) was added to a 96-well plate and 2 μM of a biotinylated covalent probe (I-127) was added. The reaction was incubated for 2 hr at room temperature. The samples and probe mixture were transferred to a FGFR4-coated MSD plate for 2 hr at room temperature. MSD signals were obtained with an anti-streptavidin Sulfo-tag (Meso Scale) antibody for 1 hr at room temperature. The results are indicated as % DMSO control. The data was fitted using a sigmoidal curve analysis program (Graph Pad Prism version 5) with variable Hill slope to determine the EC50 values.
The results of these experiments show the ability of the compounds of the invention to covalently modify FGFR4 in MDA-MB-453 cells by assessing the amount of free FGFR4 protein. If a compound completely (100%) covalently modies FGFR4 no free FGFR4 should be available for covalent modification by the biotinylated probe and subsequent binding to streptavidin and detection. Results are depicted in Table 11, in the column titled “FGFR4 Occupancy EC50 (nM)”.

Example 261: Washout Experiment
MDA-MB-453 cells were plated in the appropriate Growth Media supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% P/S, to 90% confluence in either 12- or -96 well tissue culture plates. The cells were allowed to settle down for 4 hrs and were then maintained in low-serum (0.1% FBS) media overnight.
The following morning, the media was removed and the cells were treated with 1000-2000 nM of test compound in low-serum media for 1 hr. The cells were washed free of test compound (3×) with PBS (Invitrogen). One set of cells was immediately lysed as indicated above as the 0 hr time point. The remaining cells were incubated with the appropriate complete growth media (10-20% FBS) for 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 (in certain circumstances) and 24 hr. DMSO (0.5%) controls were collected at all time points.
Representative data is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The data in FIG. 2 show that a representative compound, 1-69, provides prolonged inhibition of autophosphorylation of FGFR4 assessed by detection of phosphorylated FGFR4 (pFGFR4) after cells are washed. The graph in FIG. 2 shows that inhibition of pFGFR4 is consistent with the resynthesis rate of FGFR4 in the cells examined (T1⁄2 ̃4-8 h). The data in FIG. 3 compares the duration of action of a covalently modifying (irreversible) compound, I-1, and its corresponding noncovalently modifying (reversible) analog, I-234. I-1 which covalently modifies FGFR4 has prolonged duration of action consistent with the resynthesis rate of FGFR4 in the cells whereas I-234 does not show prolonged duration of action post washout.
While a number of embodiments of this invention are described herein, it is apparent that the basic examples may be altered to provide other embodiments that utilize the compounds and methods of this invention. Therefore, it will be appreciated that the scope of this invention is to be defined by the appended claims rather than by the specific embodiments that have been represented by way of example.
