Description: FUSED BICYCLIC PYRIMIDINE DERIVATIVES Background of the Invention This invention relates to novel bicyclic pyπmidine derivatives that are useful in the treatment of hyperprohferative diseases, such as cancers, in mammals This invention also relates to a method of using such compounds in the treatment of hyperprohferative diseases in mammals, especially humans, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds Compounds that are useful in the treatment of hyperprohferative diseases are also disclosed in the following co-pending patent applications PCT international patent application number PCT/IB97/00675 (filed June 11 , 1997), United States provisional patent application number 60/028881 (filed October 17, 1996), PCT international patent application number PCT/IB97/00584 (filed May 22, 1997), United States patent application number 08/653,786 (filed May 28, 1996), PCT international patent application publication number WO 96/40142 (published December 19, 1996), and PCT international patent application publication number WO 95/23141 (published August 31 , 1995) Each of the foregoing United States and PCT international patent applications is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety It is known that a cell may become cancerous by virtue of the transformation of a portion of its DNA into an oncogene (i e a gene that upon activation leads to the formation of malignant tumor cells) Many oncogenes encode proteins which are aberrant tyrosine kinases capable of causing cell transformation Alternatively, the overexpression of a normal proto-oncogenic tyrosine kinase may also result in prohferative disorders, sometimes resulting in a malignant phenotype Receptor tyrosine kinases are large enzymes that span the cell membrane and possess an extracellular binding domain for growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular portion that functions as a kinase to phosphorylate specific tyrosine residue in proteins and hence to influence cell proliferation It is known that such kinases are often aberrantly expressed in common human cancers such as breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer such as colon, rectal or stomach cancer, leukemia, and ovarian, bronchial or pancreatic cancer It has also been shown that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which possesses tyrosine kinase activity, is mutated or overexpressed in many human cancers such as brain, lung, squamous cell, bladder, gastric, breast, head and neck, oesophageal, gynecological and thyroid cancers Thus, it is believed that inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases, such as the compounds of the present invention, are useful as selective inhibitors of the growth of mammalian cancer cells. It has also been shown that EGFR inhibitors may be useful in the treatment of pancreatitis and kidney disease (such as prohferative glomerulonephritis and diabetes- induced renal disease), and may reduce successful blastocyte implantation and therefore may be useful as a contraceptive. See PCT international application publication number WO 95/19970 (published July 27, 1995). It is known that polypeptide growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) having a high affinity to the human kinase insert-domain-containing receptor (KDR) or the murine fetal liver kinase 1 (FLK-1 ) receptor have been associated with the proliferation of endothelial cells and more particularly vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. See PCT international application publication number WO 95/21613 (published August 17, 1995). Agents, such as the compounds of the present invention, that are capable of binding to or modulating the KDR/FLK-1 receptor may be used to treat disorders related to vasculogenesis or angiogenesis such as diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, hemangioma, glioma, melanoma, Kaposi's sarcoma and ovarian, breast, lung, pancreatic, prostate, colon and epidermoid cancer.

(DMSO), 1 ,4- dioxane or pyndine, optionally in the presence of a base, such as pyndine or tπethylamine, and optionally in the presence of pyndine hydrochlonde as a catalyst, under an inert atmosphere, such as dry nitrogen gas, at a temperature of from ambient to reflux temperature, preferably 80-125°C, for a period of about 2 hours to 72 hours The bicychc compound of formula II is prepared according to synthetic methods known to those skilled in the art Such methods are disclosed in WO 95/19774 and WO 95/19970, referred to above Other methods of preparing the compounds of formula II are also disclosed in PCT international application publication number WO 92/12718 (published August 6, 1992), A Petnc et al , Fur Chemie 114, 615-624 (1983) and Nucleic Acids Research, v 12, no 2 (1984) Where the compound of formula III is an optionally substituted indole or indoline moiety, such compounds can be prepared according to one or more methods known to those skilled in the art Such methods are described in PCT international patent application publication number WO 95/23141 , referred to above, and in W C Sumpter and F M Miller, "Heterocyclic Compounds with Indole and Carbazole Systems," in volume 8 of "The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds", Interscience Publishers Inc , New York (1954) Optional substituents can be included as appropriate before or after the coupling step illustrated in Scheme 1 Prior to the coupling step, primary and secondary ammo moieties (other than the amine of formula III) are preferably protected using a nitrogen protecting group known to those skilled in the art Such protecting groups and their use are described in T W Greene and P G M Wuts, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis," Second Edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991 Scheme 2 illustrates the cychzation of the compound of formula IV (wherein Me means methyl) to provide the compound of formula V This illustrates the introduction of the Z moiety in the compound of formula I after the ammo (-NR 1 R 2 ) moiety has been coupled with the pyπmidine ring While Scheme 2 illustrates the formation of a pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyπmιdιne ring system, other ring systems can be made by one or more analogous methods disclosed in WO 90/19774, referred to above In Scheme 2, the compound of formula IV, in an alcoholic solvent, such as ethanol, is catalytically hydrogenated using an appropriate catalyst, such as 10% palladium on carbon, under an H 2 atmosphere at ambient temperature for a period of about three hours to provide the compound of formula V Optional substituents can be introduced into the compound of formula V, as appropriate, according to methods known to those skilled in the art, to provide the desired compound of formula I The compounds of the present invention may have asymmetric carbon atoms Such diasteromeπc mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by chromatography or fractional crystallization Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeπc mixtures into a diastereomπc mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e g , alcohol), separating the diastereomers and converting (e g , hydrolyzmg) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers All such isomers, including diastereomer mixtures and pure enantiomers are considered as part of the invention The compounds of formula I that are basic in nature are capable of forming a wide variety of different salts with various inorganic and organic acids Although such salts must be pharmaceutically acceptable for administration to animals, it is often desirable in practice to initially isolate the compound of formula I from the reaction mixture as a pharmaceutically unacceptable salt and then simply convert the latter back to the free base compound by treatment with an alkaline reagent and subsequently convert the latter free base to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt The acid addition salts of the base compounds of this invention are readily prepared by treating the base compound with a substantially equivalent amount of the chosen mineral or organic acid in an aqueous solvent medium or in a suitable organic solvent, such as methanol or ethanol. Upon careful evaporation of the solvent, the desired solid salt is readily obtained. The desired acid salt can also be precipitated from a solution of the free base in an organic solvent by adding to the solution an appropriate mineral or organic acid. Those compounds of the formula I that are acidic in nature, are capable of forming base salts with various pharmacologically acceptable cations. Examples of such salts include the alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal salts and particularly, the sodium and potassium salts. These salts are all prepared by conventional techniques. The chemical bases which are used as reagents to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable base salts of this invention are those which form non-toxic base salts with the acidic compounds of formula I. Such non-toxic base salts include those derived from such pharmacologically acceptable cations as sodium, potassium calcium and magnesium, etc. These salts can easily be prepared by treating the corresponding acidic compounds with an aqueous solution containing the desired pharmacologically acceptable cations, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness, preferably under reduced pressure. Alternatively, they may also be prepared by mixing lower alkanolic solutions of the acidic compounds and the desired alkali metal alkoxide together, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness in the same manner as before. In either case, stoichiometric quantities of reagents are preferably employed in order to ensure completeness of reaction and maximum yields of the desired final product. The active compounds of this invention are potent inhibitors of the erbB family of oncogenic and protooncogenic protein tyrosine kinases such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), erbB2, HER3, or HER4 and thus are all adapted to therapeutic use as antiproliferative agents (e.g., anticancer) in mammals, particularly in humans.
