FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel heterocyclic amino ester derivatives, and salts thereof, which are useful in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases, such as cancers, in mammals. In particular, the invention relates to compounds, and metabilites thereof, which inhibit the protein tyrosine kinase activity, resulting in the inhibition of inter- and/or intra-cellular signaling. This invention also relates to a method of using such compounds in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases in mammals, especially humans, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Protein kinases are a large family of proteins that play a pivotal role in the regulation of a wide variety of cellular processes, maintaining control over cellular function. Protein tyrosine kinases may be classified as growth factor receptor (e.g. VEGFR, EGFR, PDGFR, FGFR and erbB2) or non-receptor (e.g. c-src and bcr-abl) kinases. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play a key role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, migration, and survival. Upon ligand binding, they undergo tyrosine phosphorylation at specific residues in the cytoplasmic tail. This leads to the binding of protein substrates and/or the establishment docking sites for adaptor proteins involved in RTK-mediated signal transduction. When unregulated, receptor tyrosine kinases can contribute to the rise of disease states associated with such aberrant kinase activity.
A partial list of such kinases include abl, AATK, ALK, Akt, axl, bmx, bcr-abl, Blk, Brk, Btk, csk, c-kit, c-Met, c-src, c-fins, CDK1, CDK2, CDK3, CDK4, CDK5, CDK6, CDK7, CDK8, CDK9, CDK10, cRaf1, CSF1R, CSK, DDR1, DDR2, EPHA, EPHB, EGFR, ErbB2, ErbB3, ErbB4, Erk, Fak, fes, FER, FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, FGFR5, Fgr, flt-1, Fps, Frk, Fyn, GSG2, GSK, Hck, ILK, INSRR, IRAK4, ITK, IGF-1R, INS-R, Jak, KSR1, KDR, LMTK2, LMTK3, LTK, Lck, Lyn, MATK, MERTK, MLTK, MST1R, MUSK, NPR1, NTRK, MEK, PLK4, PTK, p38, PDGFR, PIK, PKC, PYK2, RET, ROR1, ROR2, RYK, ros, Ron, SGK493, SRC, SRMS, STYK1, SYK, TEC, TEK, TEX14, TNK1, TNK2, TNNI3K, TXK, TYK2, TYRO3, tie, tie2, TRK, Yes, and Zap70.
Aberrant angiogenesis contributes to some pathological disorders and in particular to tumor growth. VEGF-A (vascular endothelial growth factor A) is a key factor promoting neovascularization (angiogenesis) of tumors. VEGF induces endothelial cell proliferation and migration by signaling through two high affinity receptors, the fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor, flt-1 or VEGFR-1, and the kinase insert domain-containing receptor, KDR or VEGFR-2. The binding of VEGF to VEGFRs stimulates receptor dimerization and activation of the RTK domain. The kinase activity autophosphorylates cytoplasmic receptor tyrosine residues, which then serve as binding sites for molecules involved in the propagation of a signaling cascade.
Disruption of VEGFR signaling is a highly attractive therapeutic target in cancer, as angiogenesis is a prerequisite for all solid tumor growth. A number of drugs inhibiting VEGF signaling, including use of neutralizing antibodies receptor antagonists, small molecule antagonists, have been approved by US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) (“Molecular basis for sunitinib efficacy and future clinical development.” Nature Review Drug Discovery, 2007, 6, 734; Angiogenesis: “an organizing principle for drug discovery?” Nature Review Drug Discovery, 2007, 6, 273).
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), also known as scatter factor, is a multifunctional growth factor that promotes cell proliferation, scattering, invasion, survival, and angiogenesis. In order to produce cellular effects, HGF must bind to its receptor, c-Met, a receptor tyrosine kinase. c-Met is overexpressed in a significant percentage of various types of human cancers and is often amplified during the transition between primary tumors and metastasis (“Molecular cancer therapy: can our expectation be MET.” Euro. J. Cancer, 2008, 44, 641-651). c-Met is also implicated in atherosclerosis and lung fibrosis.
Binding of HGF to c-Met leads to receptor phosphorylation and activation of Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, thereby enhancing malignant behaviors of cancer cells. Moreover, stimulation of the HGF/c-Met pathway itself can lead to the induction of VEGF expression, itself contributing directly to angiogenic activity. Because of the dual role of c-Met as an adjuvant, pro-metastatic gene for some tumor types and as a necessary oncogene for others, c-Met is a versatile candidate for targeted cancer therapeutic intervention. (“From Tpr-Met to Met, tumorigenesis and tubes.” Oncogene. 2007, 26, 1276; “Drug development of MET inhibitors: targeting oncogene addiction and expedience.” Nature Review Drug Discovery, 2008, 7, 504).
Anti-tumor approaches that target VEGF/VEGFR and HGF/c-Met signaling may circumvent the ability of tumor cells to overcome VEGFR or HGFR inhibition alone and may represent improved cancer therapeutics. Here we describe small molecules that are potent inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinase activity, such as that of, for example, the VEGF receptor KDR and the HGF receptor c-Met, among others.

A “solvate” refers to an association or complex of one or more solvent molecules and a compound disclosed herein. Examples of solvents that form solvates include, but are not limited to, water, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, DMSO, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, and ethanolamine. The term “hydrate” refers to the complex where the solvent molecule is water.
The term “protecting group” or “Pg” or “PG” refers to a substituent that is commonly employed to block or protect a particular functionality while reacting other functional groups on the compound. For example, an “amino-protecting group” is a substituent attached to an amino group that blocks or protects the amino functionality in the compound. Some non-limiting examples of suitable amino-protecting groups include acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) and 9-fluorenylmethylenoxycarbonyl (Fmoc).

In Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st edition, 2005, ed. D. B. Troy, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J. Swarbrick and J. C. Boylan, 1988-1999, Marcel Dekker, New York, the contents of each of which is incorporated by reference herein, are disclosed various carriers used in formulating pharmaceutically acceptable compositions and known techniques for the preparation thereof. Except insofar as any conventional carrier medium is incompatible with the compounds disclosed herein, such as by producing any undesirable biological effect or otherwise interacting in a deleterious manner with any other component(s) of the pharmaceutically acceptable composition, its use is contemplated to be within the scope of this invention.
Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum stearate, lecithin, serum proteins, such as human serum albumin, buffer substances such as phosphates, glycine, sorbic acid, or potassium sorbate, partial glyceride mixtures of saturated vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes, such as protamine sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, zinc salts, colloidal silica, magnesium trisilicate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylates, waxes, polyethylene-polyoxypropylene-block polymers, wool fat, sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; glycols such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants.
The compositions disclosed herein may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally or via an implanted reservoir. The term “parenteral” as used herein includes subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-articular, intra-synovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intraocular, intrahepatic, intralesional and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered orally, intraperitoneally or intravenously. Sterile injectable forms of the compositions disclosed herein include aqueous or oleaginous suspension. These suspensions may be formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that include water, Ringer's solution 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 includes synthetic mono- or diglycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically-acceptable oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions may also contain a long-chain alcohol diluent or dispersant, such as carboxymethyl cellulose or similar dispersing agents that are commonly used in the formulation of pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms including emulsions and suspensions. Other commonly used surfactants, such as Tweens, Spans and other emulsifying agents or bioavailability enhancers which are commonly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutically acceptable solid, liquid, or other dosage forms may also be used for the purposes of formulation.
The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions disclosed herein include orally administered in any orally acceptable dosage form including, but not limited to, capsules, tablets, aqueous suspensions or solutions. In the case of tablets for oral use, carriers commonly used include lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are also typically added. For oral administration in a capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dried cornstarch. When aqueous suspensions are required for oral use, the active ingredient is combined with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening, flavoring or coloring agents may also be added.
Alternatively, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions disclosed herein include administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration. These can be prepared by mixing the agent with a suitable non-irritating excipient that is solid at room temperature but liquid at rectal temperature and therefore will melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter, beeswax and polyethylene glycols. The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions disclosed herein also include administered topically, especially when the target of treatment includes areas or organs readily accessible by topical application, including diseases of the eye, the skin, or the lower intestinal tract. Suitable topical formulations are readily prepared for each of these areas or organs.
Topical application for the lower intestinal tract can be effected in a rectal suppository formulation (see above) or in a suitable enema formulation. Topically-transdermal patches may also be used. For topical applications, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions may be formulated in a suitable ointment containing the active component suspended or dissolved in one or more carriers. Carriers for topical administration of the compounds disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, propylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene compound, emulsifying wax and water. Alternatively, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions can be formulated in a suitable lotion or cream containing the active components suspended or dissolved in one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Suitable carriers include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60, cetyl esters wax, cetearyl alcohol, 2-octyldodecanol, benzyl alcohol and water.
For ophthalmic use, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions may be formulated, e.g., as micronized suspensions in isotonic, pH adjusted sterile saline or other aqueous solution, or, In other embodiments, as solutions in isotonic, pH adjusted sterile saline or other aqueous solution, either with or without a preservative such as benzylalkonium chloride. Alternatively, for ophthalmic uses, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions may be formulated in an ointment such as petrolatum. The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions disclosed herein may also be administered by nasal aerosol or inhalation. Such compositions are prepared according to techniques well-known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation and may be prepared as solutions in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance bioavailability, fluorocarbons, and/or other conventional solubilizing or dispersing agents.
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 disclosed herein, 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, dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle accomplishes delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form.

Kinase inhibitor 8 disclosed herein can be prepared by the process illustrated in Scheme 1. Substituted aryl 1 is nitrated to give compound 2 by a suitable nitration reagent such as HNO3 at appropriate temperature such as 0° C. The NO2 group is then reduced by a reducing reagent such as Fe or Zn powder, or under hydrogenation condition in the presence of Pd catalyst such as Pd/C. Aniline 3 is condensed with a formate (for example, ethyl formate) under basic condition to give substituted quinoline 4. The hydroxy group in compound 4 is converted to Cl using a chlorinating agent such as POCl3 or SOCl2 under heating conditions to afford quinoline chloride 5. Coupling of 5 with appropriate aryl derivatives (with a free OH group) yields substituted diaryl ethers 6 (for references, see Kubo, K., et al, J. Med Chem., 2005, 48, 1359; Harmange, J.-C., et al, J. Med Chem., 2008, 51, 1649.). The protecting group PG is removed to provide compound 7, which is condensed with E-L (L=a suitable leaving group such as OMs, Cl, Br or I, E is a moiety as defined by R1-R4, Y1, Y2 and W or its precursor) to afford kinase inhibitor 8.




Substituted pyrazolone derivatives 11 can be synthesized through the procedure depicted in Scheme 2. 5-Methyl-2-aryl-1,2-dihydropyrazol-3-one is first acylated with alkyl chloroformate to afford 9 under basic conditions (such as Ca(OH)2 in dioxane or 2-MeTHF under heating conditions). The free nitrogen on the pyrazolone ring 9 can then be alkylated with chiral oxiranes in the presence of Lewis acid such as Mg(ClO4)2, Ca(SO3CF3)2, etc. to afford intermediate alcohol, which is coupled with appropriate protected amino acid (such as Boc- or Cbz-protected α-aminoacid) with the help of condensing agent such as EDCI/DMAP to give intermediate 10. Hydrogenation of 10 under catalyst Pd/C gives acids 11 after treating 11 with an acid (ref: Liu, L. et al, J. Med Chem. 2008, 51, 3688).




Substituted kinase inhibitor 16 disclosed herein can be prepared using a process as demonstrated in Scheme 3. Condensation of 12 under heating conditions with a nitro-aryl derivative gives compound 13. Deprotection to remove the protecting group PG leads to compound 14. Attachment of E group through a coupling process followed by the reduction of nitro group affords compound 15. Coupling of aniline 15 with an acid in the presence of coupling reagent such as EDCI or HATU furnishes desired kinase inhibitor 16 (R represents pyrazolone or 1-(arylcarbamoyl)cyclopropanyl group).







Alternatively, kinase inhibitors disclosed herein can be obtained through the process as described in Scheme 4. Thus, compound 20 is prepared through Pd catalyzed amination of 2-chloropyridine derivative 19. Coupling of aniline 20 with an acid followed by the removal of protecting group PG gives compound 22 (ref: Liu, L. et al, J. Med Chem. 2008, 51, 3688.). An appropriate group containing free hydroxy (OH) moiety is appended to the quinoline portion to yield compound 23. In a special case, PG can be a methyl group in compound 7, providing compound 21 as the desired kinase inhibitor.




Alternatively, kinase inhibitors 26 disclosed herein can be obtained through the process as described in Scheme 5. Amine derivatives 24 first coupled with acids 11 to afford protected α-amino acid derivatives 25. The protecting group PG (such as Boc or Cbz) can then be removed under standard conditions to furnish kinase inhibitors 26 disclosed herein, preferably in a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.




Alternatively, kinase inhibitors 32 disclosed herein can be obtained through the process as described in Scheme 6. Free hydroxy group in 7 is coupled with compound 27 under basic conditions to afford compound 28. The protecting group PG (such as acetate, benzoate or protected aminoacid) can then be removed under standard conditions to furnish alcohol 29. Coupling of 29 with protected α-aminoacid 30 with the aid of condensing agents such as EDCI/DAMP afforded compound 31. The protecting group PG (such as Boc or Cbz) can then be removed under standard conditions to furnish kinase inhibitors 32 disclosed herein, preferably in a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form.

Biological Activity
The following representative assays were performed in assessing the biological activities of compounds disclosed herein. They are given to illustrate the invention in a non-limiting fashion.
Example G
c-Met Inhibition Assays
In a pilot study, the compounds disclosed herein were screened for their c-Met inhibitory activity. The CycLex Research Product CycLex Met Kinase Assay/Inhibitor Screening Kit, is a single-site, semi-quantitative immunoassay for kinase activity of recombinant catalytic domain of Met and is used for screening the compounds disclosed herein. Plates are pre-coated with a “Tyrosine kinase-substrate-1”, which can be easily phosphorylated by recombinant catalytic domain of Met. The detector antibody is PY-39, an antibody that specifically detects the phosphotyrosine residue on “Tyrosine kinase-substrate-1”.
To perform the test, the recombinant catalytic domain of Met was diluted in Kinase Buffer, pipetted into the wells and allowed to phosphorylate “Tyrosine kinase-substrate-1” on the wells in the presence of Mg2+, Mn2+ and ATP. The amount of phosphorylated “Tyrosine kinase-substrate-1” was measured by binding it with a horseradish peroxidase conjugate of PY-39, a anti-phosphotyrosine monoclonal antibody, which then catalyzed the conversion of the chromogenic substrate tetra-methylbenzidine (TMB) from a colorless solution to a blue solution (or yellow after the addition of stopping reagent). The color was quantified by spectrophotometry and reflected the relative amount of Met kinase activity in the sample.
Summary of Procedure




All samples and standards were assayed in triplicate. The compounds studied in kinase inhibition assays were alcohols (the metabolites) from the parent amino ester compounds, in addition to the amino esters disclosed herein. The metabolite alcohols generally showed IC50 values of 1 μM or below for inhibition of c-Met, with some compounds inhibiting c-Met with an IC50 below 100 nM.

Human Xenograft Tumor Models
Human U87MG Glioblastoma Xenograft Tumor Model
In a pilot study, the efficacy of compounds disclosed herein was evaluated in a standard murine model of tumorigenesis. Human tumor cells were generated with human glioblastoma cells (U87MG cells, ATCC) and were grown as subcutaneous tumors in 6-7 week old female nude mice (BALB/cA nu/nu, Shanghai SLAC Laboratory Animal, Co.) (n=10 for vehicle group, n=8 for each dosing group). When tumors reached a volume of 100-200 mm3, animals were randomly divided into vehicle control (2% HPMC+1% Tween-80 in water) and compound groups. Subsequent administration of compound by oral gavage (10-100 mpk/dose, dissolved in purified water or 2% HPMC+1% Tween-80 in water) begins anywhere from day 0 to day 15 post tumor cell challenge and generally continues with once a day for the duration of the experiment.
