STATEMENT AS TO RIGHTS TO INVENTIONS MADE UNDER FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
This invention was made with Government support under grant AI44009 awarded by the National Science Foundation. The Government has certain rights in this invention.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3-Ks) catalyze the synthesis of the phosphatidylinositol (PI) second messengers PI(3)P, PI(3,4)P2, and PI(3,4,5)P3 (PIP3) (Fruman et al., 1998). In the appropriate cellular context, these three lipids control diverse physiological processes including cell growth, survival, differentiation and chemotaxis (Katso et al., 2001). The PI3-K family comprises 15 kinases with distinct substrate specificities, expression patterns, and modes of regulation (Katso et al., 2001). The class I PI3-Ks (p110α, p110β, p110δ, and p110γ) are activated by tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors to generate PIP3, which engages downstream effectors such as the Akt/PDK1 pathway, the Tec family kinases, and the Rho family GTPases. The class II and III PI3-Ks play a key role in intracellular trafficking through the synthesis of PI(3)P and PI(3,4)P2. The PIKKs are protein kinases that control cell growth (mTORC1) or monitor genomic integrity (ATM, ATR, DNA-PK, and hSmg-1).
The importance of these enzymes in diverse pathophysiology has made the PI3-K family the focus of intense interest as a new class of drug targets (Ward et al., 2003). This interest has been fueled by the recent discovery that p110α is frequently mutated in primary tumors (Samuels et al., 2004) and evidence that the lipid phosphatase PTEN, an inhibitor of PI3-K signaling, is a commonly inactivated tumor suppressor (Cantley and Neel, 1999). Efforts are underway to develop small molecule PI3-K inhibitors for the treatment of inflammation and autoimmune disease (p110δ, p110γ, and mTOR), thrombosis (p110β, viral infection (the PIKKs) and cancer (p110α, mTOR, and others). Recently, the first selective inhibitors of these enzymes have been reported (Camps et al., 2005; Condliffe et al., 2005; Jackson et al., 2005; Knight et al., 2004; Lau et al., 2005; Sadhu et al., 2003).
The present invention meets these and other needs in the art by providing a new class of PI3-Kinase antagonists.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides certain novel compounds found to be effective as antagonists of PI3-Kinases.
In one aspect, the present invention provides a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding antagonist (e.g. a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket quinazolinone antagonist) or a PI3-kinase antagonist as set forth in Formula (I), defined below.
In another aspect, the present invention provides methods of decreasing the catalytic activity of a PI3-Kinase. The method includes the step of contacting the PI3-Kinase with an activity decreasing amount of a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding antagonist (e.g. a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket quinazolinone antagonist) or a PI3-Kinase antagonist of Formula (I).
In another aspect, the present invention provides methods of treating disease mediated by treating a condition mediated by PI3-Kinase activity in a subject in need of such treatment. The method includes administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding antagonist (e.g. a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket quinazolinone antagonist) or a PI3-Kinase antagonist of Formula (I).
In another aspect, the present invention provides methods of disrupting the function of a leukocyte or disrupting a function of an osteoclast. The method includes contacting the leukocyte or the osteoclast with a function disrupting amount of a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding antagonist (e.g. a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket quinazolinone antagonist) or a PI3-Kinase antagonist of Formula (I).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
I. Definitions
Abbreviations used herein have their conventional meaning within the chemical and biological arts.
Where substituent groups are specified by their conventional chemical formulae, written from left to right, they equally encompass the chemically identical substituents that would result from writing the structure from right to left, e.g., —CH2O— is equivalent to —OCH2—.
The term “alkyl,” by itself or as part of another substituent, means, unless otherwise stated, a straight (i.e. unbranched) or branched chain, or cyclic hydrocarbon radical, or combination thereof, which may be fully saturated, mono- or polyunsaturated and can include di- and multivalent radicals, having the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e. C1-C10 means one to ten carbons). Examples of saturated hydrocarbon radicals include, but are not limited to, groups such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, cyclohexyl, (cyclohexyl)methyl, cyclopropylmethyl, homologs and isomers of, for example, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, and the like. An unsaturated alkyl group is one having one or more double bonds or triple bonds. Examples of unsaturated alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, vinyl, 2-propenyl, crotyl, 2-isopentenyl, 2-(butadienyl), 2,4-pentadienyl, 3-(1,4-pentadienyl), ethynyl, 1- and 3-propynyl, 3-butynyl, and the higher homologs and isomers.
The term “alkylene” by itself or as part of another substituent means a divalent radical derived from an alkyl, as exemplified, but not limited, by —CH2CH2CH2CH2—, —CH2CH═CHCH2—, —CH2C≡CCH2—, —CH2CH2CH(CH2CH2CH3)CH2—. Typically, an alkyl (or alkylene) group will have from 1 to 24 carbon atoms, with those groups having 10 or fewer carbon atoms being preferred in the present invention. A “lower alkyl” or “lower alkylene” is a shorter chain alkyl or alkylene group, generally having eight or fewer carbon atoms. An “alkynylene” is a subset of an alkylene in which the alkylene includes at least on triple bond between adjacent carbon atoms.
The term “heteroalkyl,” by itself or in combination with another term, means, unless otherwise stated, a stable straight or branched chain, or cyclic hydrocarbon radical, or combinations thereof, consisting of at least one carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of O, N, P, Si and S, and wherein the nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized and the nitrogen heteroatom may optionally be quaternized. The heteroatom(s) O, N, P and S and Si may be placed at any interior position of the heteroalkyl group or at the position at which alkyl group is attached to the remainder of the molecule. Examples include, but are not limited to, —CH2—CH2—O—CH3, —CH2—CH2—NH—CH3, —CH2—CH2—N(CH3)—CH3, —CH2—S—CH2—CH3, —CH2—CH2, —S(O)—CH3, —CH2—CH2—S(O)2—CH3, —CH═CH—O—CH3, —Si(CH3)3, —CH2—CH═N—OCH3, —CH═CH—N(CH3)—CH3, O—CH3, —O—CH2—CH3, and —CN. Up to two or three heteroatoms may be consecutive, such as, for example, —CH2—NH—OCH3 and —CH2—O—Si(CH3)3. Similarly, the term “heteroalkylene” by itself or as part of another substituent means a divalent radical derived from heteroalkyl, as exemplified, but not limited by, —CH2—CH2—S—CH2—CH2— and —CH2—S—CH2—CH2—NH—CH2—. For heteroalkylene groups, heteroatoms can also occupy either or both of the chain termini (e.g., alkyleneoxo, alkylenedioxo, alkyleneamino, alkylenediamino, and the like). Still further, for alkylene and heteroalkylene linking groups, no orientation of the linking group is implied by the direction in which the formula of the linking group is written. For example, the formula —C(O)OR′— represents both —C(O)OR′— and —R′OC(O)—. As described above, heteroalkyl groups, as used herein, include those groups that are attached to the remainder of the molecule through a heteroatom, such as —C(O)R′, —C(O)NR′, —NR′R′′, —OR′, —SR′, and/or —SO2R′. Where “heteroalkyl” is recited, followed by recitations of specific heteroalkyl groups, such as —NR′R′ or the like, it will be understood that the terms heteroalkyl and —NR′R′′ are not redundant or mutually exclusive. Rather, the specific heteroalkyl groups are recited to add clarity. Thus, the term “heteroalkyl” should not be interpreted herein as excluding specific heteroalkyl groups, such as —NR′R′′ or the like.
The terms “cycloalkyl” and “heterocycloalkyl”, by themselves or in combination with other terms, represent, unless otherwise stated, cyclic versions of “alkyl” and “heteroalkyl”, respectively. Additionally, for heterocycloalkyl, a heteroatom can occupy the position at which the heterocycle is attached to the remainder of the molecule. Examples of cycloalkyl include, but are not limited to, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, 1-cyclohexenyl, 3-cyclohexenyl, cycloheptyl, and the like. Examples of heterocycloalkyl include, but are not limited to, 1-(1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridyl), 1-piperidinyl, 2-piperidinyl, 3-piperidinyl, 4-morpholinyl, 3-morpholinyl, tetrahydrofuran-2-yl, tetrahydrofuran-3-yl, tetrahydrothien-2-yl, tetrahydrothien-3-yl, 1-piperazinyl, 2-piperazinyl, and the like. The terms “cycloalkylene” and “heterocycloalkylene” refer to the divalent derivatives of cycloalkyl and heterocycloalkyl, respectively.
The terms “halo” or “halogen,” by themselves or as part of another substituent, mean, unless otherwise stated, a fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom. Additionally, terms such as “haloalkyl,” are meant to include monohaloalkyl and polyhaloalkyl. For example, the term “halo(C1-C4)alkyl” is mean to include, but not be limited to, trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 4-chlorobutyl, 3-bromopropyl, and the like.
The term “aryl” means, unless otherwise stated, a polyunsaturated, aromatic, hydrocarbon substituent which can be a single ring or multiple rings (preferably from 1 to 3 rings) which are fused together or linked covalently. The term “heteroaryl” refers to aryl groups (or rings) that contain from one to four heteroatoms (in each separate ring in the case of multiple rings) selected from N, O, and S, wherein the nitrogen and sulfur atoms are optionally oxidized, and the nitrogen atom(s) are optionally quaternized. A heteroaryl group can be attached to the remainder of the molecule through a carbon or heteroatom. Non-limiting examples of aryl and heteroaryl groups include phenyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, 4-biphenyl, 1-pyrrolyl, 2-pyrrolyl, 3-pyrrolyl, 3-pyrazolyl, 2-imidazolyl, 4-imidazolyl, pyrazinyl, 2-oxazolyl, 4-oxazolyl, 2-phenyl-4-oxazolyl, 5-oxazolyl, 3-isoxazolyl, 4-isoxazolyl, 5-isoxazolyl, 2-thiazolyl, 4-thiazolyl, 5-thiazolyl, 2-furyl, 3-furyl, 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2-pyrimidyl, 4-pyrimidyl, 5-benzothiazolyl, purinyl, 2-benzimidazolyl, 5-indolyl, 1-isoquinolyl, 5-isoquinolyl, 2-quinoxalinyl, 5-quinoxalinyl, 3-quinolyl, and 6-quinolyl. Substituents for each of above noted aryl and heteroaryl ring systems are selected from the group of acceptable substituents described below. The terms “arylene” and “heteroarylene” refer to the divalent radicals of aryl and heteroaryl, respectively.
For brevity, the term “aryl” when used in combination with other terms (e.g., aryloxo, arylthioxo, arylalkyl) includes both aryl and heteroaryl rings as defined above. Thus, the term “arylalkyl” is meant to include those radicals in which an aryl group is attached to an alkyl group (e.g., benzyl, phenethyl, pyridylmethyl and the like) including those alkyl groups in which a carbon atom (e.g., a methylene group) has been replaced by, for example, an oxygen atom (e.g., phenoxymethyl, 2-pyridyloxymethyl, 3-(1-naphthyloxy)propyl, and the like). However, the term “haloaryl,” as used herein is meant to cover only aryls substituted with one or more halogens.
Where a heteroalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, or heteroaryl includes a specific number of members (e.g. “3 to 7 membered”), the term “member” referrers to a carbon or heteroatom.
The term “oxo” as used herein means an oxygen that is double bonded to a carbon atom.
Each of above terms (e.g., “alkyl,” “heteroalkyl,” “cycloalkyl, and “heterocycloalkyl”, “aryl,” “heteroaryl” as well as their divalent radical derivatives) are meant to include both substituted and unsubstituted forms of the indicated radical. Preferred substituents for each type of radical are provided below.
Substituents for alkyl, heteroalkyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl monovalent and divalent derivative radicals (including those groups often referred to as alkylene, alkenyl, heteroalkylene, heteroalkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, and heterocycloalkenyl) can be one or more of a variety of groups selected from, but not limited to: —OR′, ═O, ═NR′, ═N—OR′, —NR′R′′, —SR′, -halogen, —SiR′R′′R′′′, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO2R′, —C(O)NR′R′′, —OC(O)NR′R′′, —NR′′C(O)R′, —NR′—C(O)NR′′R′′′, —NR′′C(O)OR′, —NR—C(NR′R′′)═NR′′′, —S(O)R′, —S(O)2R′, —S(O)2NR′R′′, —NRSO2R′, —CN and —NO2 in a number ranging from zero to (2 m′+1), where m′ is the total number of carbon atoms in such radical. R′, R′′, R′′′ and R′′′′ each preferably independently refer to hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl (e.g., aryl substituted with 1-3 halogens), substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkoxy or thioalkoxy groups, or arylalkyl groups. As used herein, an “alkoxy” group is an alkyl attached to the remainder of the molecule through a divalent oxygen radical. When a compound of the invention includes more than one R group, for example, each of the R groups is independently selected as are each R′, R′′, R′′′′ and R′′′′ groups when more than one of these groups is present. When R′ and R′′ are attached to the same nitrogen atom, they can be combined with the nitrogen atom to form a 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-membered ring. For example, —NR′R′′ is meant to include, but not be limited to, 1-pyrrolidinyl and 4-morpholinyl. From the above discussion of substituents, one of skill in the art will understand that the term “alkyl” is meant to include groups including carbon atoms bound to groups other than hydrogen groups, such as haloalkyl (e.g., —CF3 and —CH2CF3) and acyl (e.g., —C(O)CH3, —C(O)CF3, —C(O)CH2OCH3, and the like).
Similar to the substituents described for alkyl radicals above, exemplary substituents for aryl and heteroaryl groups (as well as their divalent derivatives) are varied and are selected from, for example: halogen, —OR′, —NR′R′′, —SR′, -halogen, —SiR′R′′R′′′, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO2R′, —C(O)NR′R′′, —OC(O)NR′R′′, —NR′′C(O)R′, —NR′—C(O)NR′′R′′′, —NR′′C(O)OR′, —NR—C(NR′R′′R′′′)═NR′′′′, —NR—C(NR′R′′)═NR′′′, —S(O)R′, —S(O)2R′, —S(O)2NR′R′′, —NRSO2R′, —CN and —NO2, —R′, —N3, —CH(Ph)2, fluoro(C1-C4)alkoxo, and fluoro(C1-C4)alkyl, in a number ranging from zero to the total number of open valences on aromatic ring system; and where R′, R′′, R′′′ and R′′′′ are preferably independently selected from hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl. When a compound of the invention includes more than one R group, for example, each of the R groups is independently selected as are each R′, R′′, R′ and R′′′′ groups when more than one of these groups is present.
Two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally form a ring of the formula -T-C(O)—(CRR′)q—U—, wherein T and U are independently —NR—, —O—, —CRR′— or a single bond, and q is an integer of from 0 to 3. Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula -A-(CH2)r—B—, wherein A and B are independently —CRR′—, —O—, —NR—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, —S(O)2NR′— or a single bond, and r is an integer of from 1 to 4. One of the single bonds of the new ring so formed may optionally be replaced with a double bond. Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula —(CRR′)s—X′—(C′′R′′′)d—, where s and d are independently integers of from 0 to 3, and X′ is —O—, —NR′—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, or —S(O)2NR′—. The substituents R, R′, R′′ and R′′′ are preferably independently selected from hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl.
As used herein, the term “heteroatom” or “ring heteroatom” is meant to include oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), and silicon (Si).
An “aminoalkyl” as used herein refers to an amino group covalently bound to an alkylene linker. The amino group is —NR′R′′, wherein R′ and R′′ are typically selected from hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl.
A “substituent group,” as used herein, means a group selected from the following moieties:
(A) —OH, —NH2, —SH, —CN, —CF3, —NO2, oxo, halogen, unsubstituted alkyl, unsubstituted heteroalkyl, unsubstituted cycloalkyl, unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, unsubstituted aryl, unsubstituted heteroaryl, and
(B) alkyl, heteroalkyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl, substituted with at least one substituent selected from:

A “size-limited substituent” or “size-limited substituent group,” as used herein means a group selected from all of the substituents described above for a “substituent group,” wherein each substituted or unsubstituted alkyl is a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl, each substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl is a substituted or unsubstituted 2 to 20 membered heteroalkyl, each substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl is a substituted or unsubstituted C4-C8 cycloalkyl, and each substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl is a substituted or unsubstituted 4 to 8 membered heterocycloalkyl.
A “lower substituent” or “lower substituent group,” as used herein means a group selected from all of the substituents described above for a “substituent group,” wherein each substituted or unsubstituted alkyl is a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C8 alkyl, each substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl is a substituted or unsubstituted 2 to 8 membered heteroalkyl, each substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl is a substituted or unsubstituted C5-C7 cycloalkyl, and each substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl is a substituted or unsubstituted 5 to 7 membered heterocycloalkyl.
The compounds of the present invention may exist as salts. The present invention includes such salts. Examples of applicable salt forms include hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulfates, methanesulfonates, nitrates, maleates, acetates, citrates, fumarates, tartrates (e.g. (+)-tartrates, (−)-tartrates or mixtures thereof including racemic mixtures, succinates, benzoates and salts with amino acids such as glutamic acid. These salts may be prepared by methods known to those skilled in art. Also included are base addition salts such as sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salt, or a similar salt. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived organic acids like acetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, lactic, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like. Also included are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galactunoric acids and the like. Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts.
The neutral forms of the compounds are preferably regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents.
Certain compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Certain compounds of the present invention may exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. In general, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplated by the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
Certain compounds of the present invention possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical or chiral centers) or double bonds; the enantiomers, racemates, diastereomers, tautomers, geometric isomers, stereoisometric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)- or, as (D)- or (L)- for amino acids, and individual isomers are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. The compounds of the present invention do not include those which are known in art to be too unstable to synthesize and/or isolate. The present invention is meant to include compounds in racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers.
The term “tautomer,” as used herein, refers to one of two or more structural isomers which exist in equilibrium and which are readily converted from one isomeric form to another.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that certain compounds of this invention may exist in tautomeric forms, all such tautomeric forms of the compounds being within the scope of the invention.
Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all stereochemical forms of the structure; i.e., the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention.
Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds which differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures except for the replacement of a hydrogen by a deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by 13C- or 14C-enriched carbon are within the scope of this invention.
The compounds of the present invention may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or carbon-14 (14C). All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” is meant to include salts of active compounds which are prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases, depending on the particular substituent moieties found on the compounds described herein. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salt, or a similar salt. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived from relatively nontoxic organic acids like acetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, lactic, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like. Also included are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galactunoric acids and the like (see, for example, Berge et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts”, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19). Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts.
In addition to salt forms, the present invention provides compounds, which are in a prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present invention. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent.
The terms “a,” “an,” or “a(n)”, when used in reference to a group of substituents herein, mean at least one. For example, where a compound is substituted with “an” alkyl or aryl, the compound is optionally substituted with at least one alkyl and/or at least one aryl. Moreover, where a moiety is substituted with an R substituent, the group may be referred to as “R-substituted.” Where a moiety is R-substituted, the moiety is substituted with at least one R substituent and each R substituent is optionally different.
Description of compounds of the present invention are limited by principles of chemical bonding known to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, where a group may be substituted by one or more of a number of substituents, such substitutions are selected so as to comply with principles of chemical bonding and to give compounds which are not inherently unstable and/or would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art as likely to be unstable under ambient conditions, such as aqueous, neutral, and several known physiological conditions. For example, a heterocycloalkyl or heteroaryl is attached to the remainder of the molecule via a ring heteroatom in compliance with principles of chemical bonding known to those skilled in the art thereby avoiding inherently unstable compounds.
The terms “treating” or “treatment” refers to any indicia of success in the treatment or amelioration of an injury, pathology or condition, including any objective or subjective parameter such as abatement; remission; diminishing of symptoms or making the injury, pathology or condition more tolerable to the patient; slowing in the rate of degeneration or decline; making the final point of degeneration less debilitating; improving a patient's physical or mental well-being. The treatment or amelioration of symptoms can be based on objective or subjective parameters; including the results of a physical examination, neuropsychiatric exams, and/or a psychiatric evaluation. For example, the certain methods presented herein successfully treat cancer by decreasing the incidence of cancer and or causing remission of cancer.
An “effective amount” is an amount sufficient to contribute to the treatment, prevention, or reduction of a symptom or symptoms of a disease. An “effective amount may also be referred to as a “therapeutically effective amount.” A “reduction” of a symptom or symptoms (and grammatical equivalents of this phrase) means decreasing of the severity or frequency of the symptom(s), or elimination of the symptom(s). A “prophylactically effective amount” of a drug is an amount of a drug that, when administered to a subject, will have the intended prophylactic effect, e.g., preventing or delaying the onset (or reoccurrence) a disease, or reducing the likelihood of the onset (or reoccurrence) of a disease or its symptoms. The full prophylactic effect does not necessarily occur by administration of one dose, and may occur only after administration of a series of doses. Thus, a prophylactically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations. An “activity decreasing amount,” as used herein, refers to an amount of antagonist required to decrease the activity of an enzyme relative to the absence of the antagonist. A “function disrupting amount,” as used herein, refers to the amount of antagonist required to disrupt the function of an osteoclast or leukocyte relative to the absence of the antagonist.
As used herein, the “antagonist” or “the compound of the present invention” refers to a compound of Formula (I), or a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding antagonist (e.g. a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket quinazolinone antagonist). A “compound of Formula (I)” includes all embodiments of Formula (I) as described below.

III. The PI3-Kinase Affinity Pocket
The term “PI3-Kinase affinity pocket,” as used herein, refers to a cavity within p110α, p110β, p110γ, and p110δ corresponding to the lightly shaded region shown in FIGS. 2A, 2C, and 2D labeled “Affinity Pocket.” FIGS. 2A, 2C, and 2D illustrate a computer model of the p110γ crystal structure. In p110γ, the surface of the PI3-Kinase affinity pocket is bound, at least in part, by the side chain of K833, D964, I879, and D841 (p110γ numbering, see FIG. 8). The surface of the corresponding cavity in p110δ is bound, at least in part, by the side chain of K779, D911, I825, and D787 (p110δ numbering, see FIG. 7). The corresponding cavity within p110α is bound, at least in part, by the side chains of K802, D933, I848, and D810 (p110α numbering, see FIG. 9). The corresponding cavity within p110β is bound, at least in part, by the side chains of K805, D937, I851, and D813 (p110β numbering, see FIG. 10). The PI3-Kinase affinity pocket is not accessed by ATP.
The PI3-Kinase affinity pocket of p110δ may be referred to herein as the p110δ affinity pocket. Likewise, the PI3-Kinase affinity pocket of p110γ may be referred to herein as the p110γ affinity pocket. The PI3-Kinase affinity pocket includes lysine 779, which, according to computer models, forms a hydrogen bond with the pyridine nitrogen of PIK-90 and the phenol oxygen of PI 103 (FIG. 2D), both of which are inhibitors of p110δ. Based on these computer modeling results, a novel antagonist was designed based on the chemical structure of PIK-39 and IC87114, as detailed below.
As shown in FIG. 2C, PIK-39 does not contain a PI3-Kinase binding pocket moiety. And as shown in FIG. 3A, IC87114 maintains contacts to E880 and V882 in the ATP binding region of p110δ, but is also missing a PI3-Kinase binding pocket moiety. By inserting m-phenol (a PI3-Kinase binding pocket moiety) at the C3 of the pyrazolopyrimidine of IC87114, the PI3-Kinase affinity pocket is accessed (FIG. 3A) resulting in a 60-fold increase in p110δ inhibition potency.
As described above, a PI3-Kinase binding pocket moiety is a substituent which, upon contacting upon contacting p110α, p110β, p110γ, or p110δ, fills space within the corresponding PI3-Kinase binding pocket. For example, a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding moiety is a substituent which, upon contacting upon contacting p110δ, fills space within the p110δ affinity pocket. Likewise, a p110α affinity pocket binding moiety is a substituent which, upon contacting upon contacting p110α, fills space within the p110α affinity pocket. In some embodiments, the antagonist interact with or displaces the side chain of methionine 804 of p110γ, or the equivalent methionine present in p110α, p110β, or p110δ (See FIGS. 7-10).
In some embodiments, the PI3-Kinase binding pocket moiety additionally interacts (e.g. bonds) with an amino acid that forms part of the PI3-Kinase binding pocket. In some related embodiments, the interaction is a hydrogen bond, van der Waals interaction, ionic bond, covalent bond (e.g. disulfide bond) or hydrophobic interaction.
IV. Determining Space Filling within the PI3-Kinase Affinity Pocket
To determine whether the PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding moiety fills space within the PI3-Kinase affinity pocket, computer modeling techniques are employed. A query PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding antagonist (i.e. a test compound) is fit into a computer image of p110γ. The p110γ computer image is derived from the solved co-crystal structure of human p110γ bound to PIK-39. The PyMOL Molecular Graphics System may be employed to generate the image. An example is presented in FIG. 3A, wherein IC87114 and PIK-294 are built into the computer image of p110γ kinase, derived from the p110γ-PIK-39 co-crystal. See Knight, et al., Cell 125: 733-745 (2006).
The computer models are typically analyzed to prevent any gross steric clashes and to satisfy key hydrogen bonds between the query PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding antagonist and the p110γ protein (e.g. V882 and M804). In some embodiments, energy minimization calculations are performed to optimize binding energy. Using these techniques, one skilled in the art can easily determine whether a query PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding antagonist includes a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding moiety that fills space within the PI3-Kinase affinity pocket.
In some embodiments, the query PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding antagonist is analyzed to determine whether at least one bond (e.g. a hydrogen bond) is formed between the query PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding antagonist and an amino acid that form part of the PI3-Kinase affinity pocket. Using a computer modeling technique as described above, the distance between one or more amino acids that form part of the PI3-Kinase affinity pocket and a potential contact point on the PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding moiety is determined. Based on this distance, one skilled in the art may determine whether at least one bond is formed between one or more amino acids that form part of the PI3-Kinase affinity pocket and a PI3-Kinase affinity pocket binding moiety.
V. General Syntheses
The compounds of the invention are synthesized by an appropriate combination of generally well known synthetic methods. Techniques useful in synthesizing the compounds of the invention are both readily apparent and accessible to those of skill in the relevant art. The discussion below is offered to illustrate certain of the diverse methods available for use in assembling the compounds of the invention. However, the discussion is not intended to define the scope of reactions or reaction sequences that are useful in preparing the compounds of the present invention.




In Scheme 1, R1, R2, R3, X, and q are as defined above. The anthranilic acid E1 may be converted to the acid chloride using, for example, SOCl2 and then directly reacted with the amino functionality of an aniline to yield the corresponding amide E2. Subsequent cyclization of E2 may be accomplished using chloroacetylchloride. Substitution of the E3 chlorine with the iodo-pyrazolopyrimidine or iodo-pyrrolopyrimidine is performed in the presence of base to form E4. Finally, the iodine of E4 is substituted with R1 by a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with the appropriate boronic acid.

C. PI3-Kinase Structural Studies
Crystal structures of p110γ have been reported, alone and in complex with ATP or pan-specific inhibitors such as LY294002 and wortmannin (Walker et al., 2000; Walker et al., 1999). To explore how potent and selective inhibitors bind, the crystal structures of PI3-K inhibitors from three chemotypes bound to human p110γ were determined at 2.5-2.6 Å resolution: the quinazoline purine PIK-39, the imidazopyridine PIK-90 and the phenylthiazole PIK-93 (FIG. 2).
Based on these co-crystal structures and a conserved arylmorpholine pharmacophore model, structural models were generated for three additional chemotypes bound to p110γ: the pyridinylfuranopyrimidine PI-103, the morpholinochromone PIK-108, and the morpholinopyranone KU-55933 (FIG. 2). Model-building for these inhibitors was guided by the observation that each compound contains the key arylmorpholine pharmacophore found in LY294002.
PIK-39 is an isoquinoline purine that inhibits p110δ at mid-nanomolar concentrations, p110γ and p110β at concentrations  ̃100-fold higher, and shows no activity against any other PI3-K family member, including p110α, at concentrations up to 100 μM (FIG. 5). The biochemical selectivity of this compound is achieved through an unusual binding mode revealed in its co-crystal structure with p110γ (FIG. 2C). Only the mercaptopurine moiety of PIK-39 makes contacts within the interior of the ATP binding pocket, and this ring system is rotated  ̃110° and twisted  ̃35° out of the plane relative to the adenine of the ATP. In this orientation, it satisfies hydrogen bonds to the backbone amides of Val 882 and Glu 880 (thereby recapitulating the hydrogen bonds made by N1 and N6 of adenine).
In contrast to other PI3-K inhibitor structures, PIK-39 does not access the deeper pocket in the active site interior (FIG. 2C, lightly shaded area labeled as “Affinity Pocket”). Instead, the aryl-isoquinoline moiety of PIK-39 extends out to the entrance of the ATP binding pocket (FIG. 2B). In this region, the kinase accommodates the inhibitor by undergoing a conformational rearrangement in which Met 804 shifts from an “up” position, in which it forms the ceiling of the ATP binding pocket, to a “down” position which it packs against the isoquinoline moiety. The effect of this movement, which is unique to the PIK-39 structure (FIG. 2B), is to create a novel hydrophobic pocket between Met 804 and Trp 812 at the entrance to the ATP binding site. This induced-fit pocket buries  ̃180 Å2 of solvent accessible inhibitor surface area, enabling PIK-39 to achieve nanomolar affinity despite limited contacts within the active site core.
Co-crystal structures of PIK-90 and PIK-93 compounds bound to p110γ were determined. PIK-90 and PIK-93 both make a hydrogen bond to the backbone amide nitrogen of Val 882 (FIG. 2D), an interaction conserved among all known PI3-K inhibitors (Walker et al., 2000). In addition to this hydrogen bond, PIK-93 makes a second hydrogen bond to the backbone carbonyl of Val 882 and a third between its sulphonamide moiety and the side chain of Asp 964. PIK-93 is one of the most polar inhibitors in our panel (clogP=1.69) and these extended polar interactions may compensate for its limited hydrophobic surface area.
PIK-90 binds in a mode similar to PIK-93, although this larger compound makes more extensive hydrophobic interactions, burying 327 Å2 of solvent accessible surface area. To achieve this, PIK-90 projects its pyridine ring into a deeper cavity that is partially accessed by PIK-93 but not occupied by ATP (FIG. 2D, lightly shaded circle). In this region, the pyridine ring of PIK-90 is poised to make a hydrogen bond to Lys 833, and we find that replacement of this pyridine nitrogen with carbon results in a 100-fold loss in affinity (PIK-95, FIG. 4). PI-103, a third multi-targeted PI3K inhibitor, projects a phenol into the same pocket based on an arylmorpholine pharmacophore model (FIG. 2D).
Two structural features distinguish these potent, multi-targeted inhibitors from the more selective compounds in our panel. First, these compounds adopt a flat conformation in the ATP binding pocket, whereas highly selective inhibitors project out of the plane occupied by ATP (FIG. 2). Second, the most potent inhibitors project into a deeper binding pocket that is not accessed by ATP (FIG. 2A). Much of the surface of this affinity pocket is contributed by the side-chain of Ile 879.
The mercaptopurine in the PIK-39 structure was replaced with adenine to yield a model of IC87114 (FIG. 3A). This substitution provided the adenine of IC87114 in the correct orientation to make the same hydrogen bonds as the mercaptopurine of PIK-39, even though these two ring systems are rotated by 110° with respect to each other.
Unlike other inhibitor chemotypes, PIK-39 does not exploit the PI3-kinase affinity pocket (FIG. 2C). The pyrazolopyrimidine analog of IC87114 (PIK-293) as well as a novel analog containing an m-phenol (PIK-294, FIG. 3A) were then tested for inhibition of the class I PI3-Ks. PIK-294 was up to 60-fold more potent than PIK-293 (FIG. 3A).
The structure of PIK-39 bound to p110γ reveals a conformational rearrangement of Met 804 that creates an induced pocket, and we have hypothesized that this conformational rearrangement underlies the selectivity of PIK-39 for p110δ. A prediction of this model is that mutation of Met 804 should perturb the binding of p110δ-selective inhibitors (which access the induced pocket), but not affect other classes of inhibitors (which do not access this pocket). Modeling suggests that mutation of Met 804 to a β-branched amino acid (such as valine or isoleucine) should restrict the pocket formed by rearrangement of that residue (FIG. 3B, right). Therefore, we mutated the corresponding residue in p110δ (Met 752) to valine or isoleucine, expressed and purified these kinases, and tested them for sensitivity to PI3-K inhibitors (FIG. 3B). We find that M752I and M752V p110δ are resistant to the p110δ-selective inhibitors PIK-39 and IC87114, but retain sensitivity to the p110α/multi-targeted inhibitors PIK-90, PIK-93, and PI-103. This chemotype-specific resistance supports the unique role of Met 752 in gating an inducible selectivity pocket.
Antagonist modeling was performed using the PyMOL Molecular Graphics System. All p110γ crystal structures (PDB codes in parentheses), including the Apo (1E8Y), ATP (1E8X), Wortmannin (1E7U), LY294002 (1E7V), Quercetin (1E8W), Myricetin (1E90), and Staurosporine (1E8Z), PIK-90, PIK-93, and PIK-39 bound forms were structurally aligned using PyMOL's align function. Models for the inhibitors PIK-108, KU-55933, and PI-103 were built on top of the LY294002 arylmorpholine scaffold (1E7V) using PyMOL's fragment building function. A model for the inhibitor IC87114 was similarly built on top of the PIK-39 aryl-isoquinoline scaffold.
The model for PI-103 was built into the protein structure of p110γ bound to PIK-90, because the PIK-90 structure contains the enlarged affinity pocket that is necessary to accommodate PIK-103's phenolic moiety (the PIK-90 p110γ structure otherwise does not exhibit any conformational differences in the arymorpholine-binding region in comparison to the LY294002-bound p110γ structure). The models for PIK-108, KU-55933, and IC87114 were built into the protein structure of p110γ bound to PIK-39 because these inhibitors possess bulky groups that project out of the adenine plane and are likely to exploit the unique “Met 804 down” induced-fit pocket. In all inhibitor models, the choice of protein structure and inhibitor binding mode is based on extensive biochemical SAR as well as inhibitor geometry. The protein structures and inhibitor models have not been minimized to optimize binding energy, but care was taken to prevent any gross steric clashes and to satisfy key hydrogen bonds.
D. Expression and Assays of p110α/p85α, p110β/p85α, p110δ/p85α, and p110γ
The class I PI3-Ks were either purchased (p110α/p85α, p110β/p85α, p110δ/p85α from Upstate, and p110γ from Sigma) or expressed as previously described (Knight et al., 2004). IC50 values were measured using either a standard TLC assay for lipid kinase activity (described below) or a high-throughput membrane capture assay. Kinase reactions were performed by preparing a reaction mixture containing kinase, inhibitor (2% DMSO final concentration), buffer (25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2), and freshly sonicated phosphatidylinositol (100 μg/ml). Reactions were initiated by the addition of ATP containing 10 μCi of γ-32P-ATP to a final concentration 10 or 100 μM, as indicated in FIG. 5, and allowed to proceed for 5 minutes at room temperature. For TLC analysis, reactions were then terminated by the addition of 105 μl 1N HCl followed by 160 μl CHCl3:MeOH (1:1). The biphasic mixture was vortexed, briefly centrifuged, and the organic phase transferred to a new tube using a gel loading pipette tip precoated with CHCl3. This extract was spotted on TLC plates and developed for 3-4 hours in a 65:35 solution of n-propanol:1 M acetic acid. The TLC plates were then dried, exposed to a phosphorimager screen (Storm, Amersham), and quantitated. For each compound, kinase activity was measured at 10-12 inhibitor concentrations representing two-fold dilutions from the highest concentration tested (typically, 200 μM). For compounds showing significant activity, IC50 determinations were repeated two to four times, and the reported value is the average of these independent measurements.
Results are set forth in Table 1 below.
