Description: QUINOLINE AND QUINOXALINE COMPOUNDS WHICH INHIBIT PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR AND/OR p56 /c * TYROSINE KINASES BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention is directed to the inhibition of cell proliferation and/or cell matrix production and/or cell movement (chemotaxis) and/or T cell activation and proliferation using of quinoline/quinoxaline compounds which are useful protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Cellular signaling is mediated through a system of interactions which include cell-cell contact or cell-matrix contact or extracellular receptor-substrate contact. The extracellular signal is often communicated to other parts of the cell via a tyrosine kinase mediated phosphorylation event which affects substrate proteins downstream of the cell membrane bound signaling complex. A specific set of receptor-enzymes such as the insulin receptor, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) or platelet- derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) are examples of tyrosine kinase enzymes which are involved in cellular signaling. Autophosphorylation of the enzyme is required for efficient enzyme-mediated phosphorylation of substrate proteins containing tyrosine residues. These substrates are known to be responsible for a variety of cellular events including cellular proliferation, cellular matrix production, cellular migration and apoptosis to name a few. It is understood that a large number of disease states are caused by either uncontrolled reproduction of cells or overproduction of matrix or poorly regulated programmed cell death (apoptosis). These disease states involve a variety of cell types and include disorders such as leukemia, cancer, glioblastoma, psoriasis, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases, fibrotic diseases, atherosclerosis and restenosis occurring subsequent to angioplasty of the coronary, femoral or kidney arteries or, fibroproliferative disease such as in arthritis, fibrosis of the lung, kidney and liver. In addition, deregulated cellular proliferative conditions follow from coronary bypass surgery. The inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity is believed to have utility in the control of uncontrolled reproduction of cells or overproduction of matrix or poorly regulated programmed cell death (apoptosis). It is also known that certain tyrosine kinase inhibitors can interact with more than one type of tyrosine kinase enzyme. Several tyrosine kinase enzymes are critical for the normal function of the body. For instance, it would be undesirable to inhibit insulin action in most normal circumstances. Therefore, compounds which inhibit PDGF-R tyrosine kinase activity at concentrations less than the concentrations effective in inhibiting the insulin receptor kinase could provide valuable agents for the selective treatment of diseases characterized by cell proliferation and/or cell matrix production and/or cell movement (chemotaxis) such as restenosis. This invention relates to the modulation and/or inhibition of cell signaling, cell proliferation, extracellular matrix production, chemotaxis, the control of abnormal cell growth and cell inflammatory response. More specifically, this invention relates to the use of substituted quinoxaline compounds which exhibit selective inhibition of differentiation, proliferation or mediator release by effectively inhibiting platelet-derived growth factor- receptor (PDGF-R) tyrosine kinase activity and/or Lck tyrosine kinase activity. 2. Reported Developments A number of literature reports describe tyrosine kinase inhibitors which are selective for tyrosine kinase receptor enzymes such as EGF-R or PDGF-R or non-receptor cytosolic tyrosine kinase enzymes such as v-abl, p561ck or c-src. Recent reviews by Spada and Myers (Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 1995, 5(8), 805) and Bridges (Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 1995, 5( 12), 1245) summarize the literature for tyrosine kinase inhibitors and EGF-R selective inhibitors respectively. Additionally Law and Lydon have summarized the anticancer potential of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Emerging Drugs: The Prospect For Improved Medicines 1996, 241-260). Known inhibitors of PDGF-R tyrosine kinase activity includes quinoline-based inhibitors reported by Maguire et al. (J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37. 2129), and by Dolle et al. (J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37, 2627). A class of phenylamino-pyrimidine-based inhibitors was recently reported by Traxler et al. in EP 564409 and by Zimmerman, J.; and Traxler, P. et al. (Biorg. & Med. Chem. Lett. 1996. 6(11), 1221- 1226) and by Buchdunger, E. et al. (Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 1995, 92, 2558). Despite the progress in the field there are no agents from these classes of compounds that have been approved for use in humans for treating proliferative disease. The correlation between the multifactorial disease of restenosis with PDGF and PDGF-R is well- documented throughout the scientific literature. However, recent developments into the understanding of fibrotic diseases of the lung (Antoniades, H. N.; et al. J. Clin. Invest. 1990, 86, 1055). kidney and liver (Peterson, T. C. Hepatology, 1993, 17, 486) have also implicated PDGF and PDGF-R as playing a role. For instance glomerulonephritis is a major cause of renal failure and PDGF has been identified to be a potent mitogen for mesangial cells in vitro as demonstrated by Shultz et al. (Am. J. Physiol. 1988, 255. F674) and by Floege, et al. (Clin. Exp. lmmun. 1991, 86, 334). It has been reported by Thornton, S. C; et al. (Clin. Exp. lmmun. 1991, 86, 79) that TNF-alpha and PDGF (obtained from human rheumatoid arthritis patients) are the major cytokines involved in proliferation of synovial cells. Furthermore, specific tumor cell types have been identified (see Silver, B. J., BioFactors, 1992, 3, 217) such as glioblastoma and Kaposi's sarcoma which overexpress either the PDGF protein or receptor thus leading to the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells via an autocrine or paracrine mechanism. Therefore, it is anticipated that a PDGF tyrosine kinase inhibitor would be useful in treating a variety of seemingly unrelated human disease conditions that can be characterized by the involvement of PDGF and or PDGF- R in their etiology. The role of various non-receptor tyrosine kinases such as p56 /c * (hereinafter "Lck") in inflammation-related conditions involving T cell activation and proliferation has been reviewed by Hanke, et al (Inflamm. Res. 1995, 44, 357) and by Bolen and Brugge (Ann. Rev. Immunol, 1997, 15, 371). These inflammatory conditions include allergy, autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis and transplant rejection. Another recent review summarizes various classes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors including compounds having Lck inhibitory activity (Groundwater, et. al Progress in Medicinal Chemistry, 1996, 33, 233). Inhibitors of Lck tyrosine kinase activity include several natural products which are generally non-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as staurosporine, genistein, certain flavones and erbstatin. Damnacanthol was recently reported to be a low nM inhibitor of Lck (Faltynek. et. al, Biochemistry, 1995, 34, 12404). Examples of synthetic Lck inhibitors include: a series of dihydroxy-isoquinoline inhibitors reported as having low micromolar to submicromolar activity (Burke, et. al J. Med. Chem. 1993, 36, 425); and a quinoline derivative found to be much less active having an Lck IC5 0 of 610 micromolar. Researchers have also disclosed a series of 4- substituted quinazolines that inhibit Lck in the low micromolar to submicromolar range (Myers et al, W095/ 15758 and Myers, et. al Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 1997, 7, 417). Researchers at Pfizer (Hanke, et. al J. Biol. Chem. 1996, 271, 695) have disclosed two specific pyrazolopyrimidine inhibitors known as PP1 and PP2 which have low nanomolar potency against Lck and Fyn. (another Src-family kinase). No Lck inhibitory has been reported regarding quinoline or quinoxaline based compounds. Therefore, it is anticipated that a quinoline or quinoxaline based inhibitor of Lck tyrosine kinase activity could be useful in treating a variety of seemingly unrelated human disease conditions that can be characterized by the involvement of Lck tyrosine kinase signaling in their etiology.

General Procedures: 1. Coupling of 2-chloro substituted quinoxaline and amines or anilines A mixture of 2-chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinoxaline ( 1 eq.) and an amine (about 1 to about 5 eq.) is heated at about 160 to about 180 °C from about three hours to overnight. The dark-brown residue is dissolved in methanol/ methylene chloride (0%-10%) and chromatographed on silica gel eluted with hexane/ethyl acetate or methanol/methylene chloride (0%- 100%) to yield the desired product. The desired product may be purified further through recrystallization in methanol, methylene chloride or methanol/water. 2. Coupling of 2-chloro substituted quinoxaline and alcohols or phenols A suspension of an alcohol or mercaptan ( 1 eq.) and sodium hydride (about 1 to about 3 eq.) in anhydrous DMF/THF (0%-50%) is refluxed for 1 hour before addition of 2-chloro-6,7- dimethoxyquinoxaline (1 eq.). The resulting mixture is refluxed for about one to about four hours. The suspension is neutralized to about pH 5-8 and partitioned between methylene chloride and brine. The residue after concentration of methylene chloride is chromatographed on silica gel eluted with hexane/ethyl acetate or methanol/methylene chloride (0%-100%) to give the desired product. 3. Reductive amination reaction with amino-quinolines and aldehydes or ketones. An appropriately substituted 3-amino quinoline ( 1 eq.) is stirred with 1 eq. of the appropriate aldehyde or ketone in methanol (or another suitable solvent mixture) until TLC indicates imine formation is complete. Excess NaCNBH 4 or NaBH 4 , or another suitable reducing agent is added and the mixture is stirred until TLC shows consumption of the intermediate imine. The mixture is concentrated and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (0-100 %) or chloroform/methanol (0-20%) to give the desired product. 4. coupling reaction of 3-amino substituted quinolines and bromophenyl compounds. An appropriately substituted 3-amino quinoline (1 eq.) is stirred with -1.4 eq. of a strong base such as sodium .-butoxide. 1 eq. of the appropriate bromophenyl compound, and catalytic amounts of 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)- l -r-binaphthyl (S-BINAP) and bis(dibenzylideneacetone)-Palladium (Pd(dba) 2 ) are mixed in an inert organic solvent such as toluene under an inert atmosphere such as argon and heated to about 80°C overnight. The mixture is cooled, diluted with a solvent such as ether, filtered, concentrated and chromatographed with 50% EtOAc/hexane to give the desired product. 5. Ether formation from 3-hydroxy substituted quinolines via Mitsunobu conditions. A THF solution of an appropriately substituted hydroxyquinoxaline (at about 0 to about 25 °C) is treated with 1 eq. each of the desired alcohol, triphenylphosphine and finally diethylazodicarboxylate (DEAD) or a suitable equivalent. The reaction progress is monitored via TLC and upon completion of the reaction (about 1 to about 24 hours) the mixture is concentrated and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel to yield the desired product. 6. Dealkylation of a lower alkoxy substituted quinoline or quinoxaline. and subsequent alkylation. An appropriate lower alkoxy substituted quinoline or quinoxaline (1 eq.) in DMF is treated with excess sodium ethanthiolate (usually about 2 or more eq.) and the reaction mixture is stirred with heating from about 1 to about 24 hours. The mixture is partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. Extractive workup followed by chromatography, if necessary, provides the corresponding desired hydroxy substituted quinoline or quinoxaline product. The hydroxy substituted quinoline or quinoxaline product can be alkylated using the conditions for the Mitsunobu reaction as detailed above. Alternatively, simple alkylation using methods well- known in the art with a reactive alkyl- or benzyl- halide using NaH or another appropriate base in a suitable solvent provides the desired alkylated product. 7. Oxidation of a nitrogen in a quinoline or quinoxaline to the corresponding N-oxide. An imine (=N-) moiety in a quinoline or quinoxaline compound of formula (I), may be converted to the corresponding compound wherein the imine moiety is oxidized to an N-oxide, preferably by reacting with a peracid, for example peracetic acid in acetic acid or m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane, at a temperature from about room temperature to reflux, preferably at elevated temperature. The compounds of the present invention are useful in the form of the free base or acid or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. All forms are within the scope of the invention. Where the compound of the present invention is substituted with a basic moiety, acid addition salts are formed and are simply a more convenient form for use; and in practice, use of the salt form inherently amounts to use of the free base form. The acids which can be used to prepare the acid addition salts include preferably those which produce, when combined with the free base, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, that is, salts whose anions are non-toxic to the patient in pharmaceutical doses of the salts, so that the beneficial inhibitory effects on PDGF inherent in the free base are not vitiated by side effects ascribable to the anions. Although pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said basic compounds are preferred, all acid addition salts are useful as sources of the free base form even if the particular salt, per se. is desired only as an intermediate product as, for example, when the salt is formed only for purposes of purification, and identification, or when it is used as intermediate in preparing a pharmaceutically acceptable salt by ion exchange procedures. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts within the scope of the invention are those derived from the following acids: mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and sulfamic acid; and organic acids such as acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malonic acid, methanesufonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid. benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, cyclohexylsulfamic acid, quinic acid, and the like. The corresponding acid addition salts comprise the following: hydrohalides, e.g. hydrochioride and hydrobromide. sulfate. phosphate, nitrate, sulfamate. acetate, citrate, lactate, tartarate. malonate, oxalate, salicylate, propionate, succinate, fumarate. maleate. methylene-bis-β-hydroxynaphthoates, gentisates, mesylates, isethionates and di-p-toluoyltartratesmethanesulfonate. ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p- toluenesulfonate, cyclohexylsulfa ate and quinate. respectively. According to a further feature of the invention, acid addition salts of the compounds of this invention are prepared by reaction of the free base with the appropriate acid, by the application or adaptation of known methods. For example, the acid addition salts of the compounds of this invention are prepared either by dissolving the free base in aqueous or aqueous-alcohol solution or other suitable solvents containing the appropriate acid and isolating the salt by evaporating the solution, or by reacting the free base and acid in an organic solvent, in which case the salt separates directly or can be obtained by concentration of the solution. The compounds of this invention can be regenerated from the acid addition salts by the application or adaptation of known methods. For example, parent compounds of the invention can be regenerated from their acid addition salts by treatment with an alkali, e.g. aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution or aqueous ammonia solution. Where the compound of the invention is substituted with an acidic moiety, base addition salts may be formed and are simply a more convenient form for use; and in practice, use of the salt form inherently amounts to use of the free acid form. The bases which can be used to prepare the base addition salts include preferably those which produce, when combined with the free acid, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, that is, salts whose cations are non-toxic to the animal organism in pharmaceutical doses of the salts, so that the beneficial inhibitory effects on PDGF inherent in the free acid are not vitiated by side effects ascribable to the cations. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts. including for example alkali and alkaline earth metal salts, within the scope of the invention are those derived from the following bases: sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, ammonia, trimethylammonia, triethylammonia, ethylenediamine, n-methyl-glucamine, lysine, arginine. ornithine, choline. N.N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, diethanolamine, procaine, n- benzylphenethylamine, diethylamine, piperazine, tris(hydroxymethyI)-aminomethane, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, and the like. Metal salts of compounds of the present invention may be obtained by contacting a hydride, hydroxide, carbonate or similar reactive compound of the chosen metal in an aqueous or organic solvent with the free acid form of the compound. The aqueous solvent employed may be water or it may be a mixture of water with an organic solvent, preferably an alcohol such as methanol or ethanol, a ketone such as acetone, an aliphatic ether such as tetrahydrofuran, or an ester such as ethyl acetate. Such reactions are normally conducted at ambient temperature but they may, if desired, be conducted with heating. Amine salts of compounds of the present invention may be obtained by contacting an amine in an aqueous or organic solvent with the free acid form of the compound. Suitable aqueous solvents include water and mixtures of water with alcohols such as methanol or ethanol, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, nitriles such as acetonitrile, or ketones such as acetone. Amino acid salts may be similarly prepared. The compounds of this invention can be regenerated from the base addition salts by the application or adaptation of known methods. For example, parent compounds of the invention can be regenerated from their base addition salts by treatment with an acid, e.g., hydrochloric acid. As well as being useful in themselves as active compounds, salts of compounds of the invention are useful for the purposes of purification of the compounds, for example by exploitation of the solubility differences between the salts and the parent compounds, side products and/or starting materials by techniques well known to those skilled in the art. Compounds of the present invention may contain asymmetric centers. These asymmetric centers may independently be in either the R or S configuration. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that certain compounds of formula I may exhibit geometrical isomerism. Geometrical isomers include the cis and trans forms of compounds of the invention, i.e., compounds having alkenyl moieties or substituents on the ring systems. In addition, bicyclo ring systems include endo and exo isomers. The present invention comprises the individual geometrical isomers, stereoisomers, enantiomers and mixtures thereof. Such isomers can be separated from their mixtures, by the application or adaptation of known methods, for example chromatographic techniques and recrystallization techniques, or they are separately prepared from the appropriate isomers of their intermediates, for example by the application or adaptation of methods described herein. The starting materials and intermediates are prepared by the application or adaptation of known methods, for example methods as described in the Reference Examples or their obvious chemical equivalents, or by methods described according to the invention herein.

The compounds of formula I as described herein inhibit inhibition of cell proliferation and/or cell matrix production and/or cell movement (chemotaxis) via inhibition of PDGF-R tyrosine kinase activity. A large number of disease states are caused by either uncontrolled reproduction of cells or oveφroduction of matrix or poorly regulated programmed cell death (apoptosis). These disease states involve a variety of cell types and include disorders such as leukemia, cancer, glioblastoma, psoriasis, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases, fibrotic diseases, atherosclerosis and occurring subsequent to angioplasty of the coronary, femoral or kidney arteries or. fibroproliferative disease such as in arthritis. fibrosis of the lung, kidney and liver. In particular, PDGF and PDGF-R have been reported to be implicated in specific types of cancers and tumors such as brain cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer lung cancer. Kaposi's sarcoma and malignant melanoma. In addition, deregulated cellular proliferative conditions follow from coronary bypass surgery. The inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity is believed to have utility in the control of uncontrolled reproduction of cells or overproduction of matrix or poorly regulated programmed cell death (apoptosis). This invention relates to the modulation and/or inhibition of cell signaling, cell proliferation and/or cell matrix production and/or cell movement (chemotaxis), the control of abnormal cell growth and cell inflammatory response. More specifically, this invention relates to the use of substituted quinoline and quinoxaline compounds which exhibit selective inhibition of differentiation, proliferation, matrix production, chemotaxis or mediator release by effectively inhibiting platelet-derived growth factor-receptor (PDGF-R) tyrosine kinase activity. Initiation of autophosphorylation, i.e., phosphorylation of the growth factor receptor itself, and of the phosphorylation of a host of intracellular substrates are some of the biochemical events which are involved in cell signaling, cell proliferation, matrix production, chemotaxis and mediator release. By effectively inhibiting Lck tyrosine kinase activity, the compounds of this invention are also useful in the treatment of resistance to transplantation and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus, in transplant rejection, in graft vs. host disease, in hypeφroliferative disorders such as tumours and psoriasis, and in diseases in which cells receive pro-inflammatory signals such as asthma, inflammatory bowel disease and pancreatitis. In the treatment of resistance to transplantation, a compound of this invention may be used either prophy tactically or in response to an adverse reaction by the human subject to a transplanted organ or tissue. When used prophylactically, a compound of this invention is administered to the patient or to the tissue or organ to be transplanted in advance of the transplantation operation. Prophylactic treatment may also include administration of the medication after the transplantation operation but before any signs of adverse reaction to transplantation are observed. When administered in response to an adverse reaction, a compound of this invention is administered directly to the patient in order to treat resistance to transplantation after outward signs of the resistance have been manifested. According to a further feature of the invention there is provided a method for the treatment of a patient suffering from, or subject to, conditions which may be ameliorated or prevented by the administration of an inhibitor of PDGF-R tyrosine kinase activity and/or Lck tyrosine kinase activity, for example conditions as hereinbefore described, which comprises the administration to the patient of an effective amount of compound of formula I or a composition containing a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Reference herein to treatment should be understood to include prophylactic therapy as well as treatment of established conditions. The present invention also includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions which comprise pharmaceutically acceptable amount of at least one of the compounds of formula I in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for example, an adjuvant, diluent, coating and excipient. In practice compounds or compositions for treating according to the present invention may administered in any variety of suitable forms, for example, by inhalation, topically, parenterally, rectally or orally; more preferably orally. More specific routes of administration include intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraocular, intrasynovial, colonical, peritoneal, transepithelial including transdermal, ophthalmic, sublingual, buccal. dermal, ocular, nasal inhalation via insufflation, and aerosol. The compounds of formula I may be presented in forms permitting administration by the most suitable route and the invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one compound according to the invention which are suitable for use as a medicament in a patient. These compositions may be prepared according to the customary methods, using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants or excipients. The adjuvants comprise, inter alia, diluents, sterile aqueous media and the various non-toxic organic solvents. The compositions may be presented in the form of tablets, pills, granules, powders, aqueous solutions or suspensions, injectable solutions, elixirs or syrups, and may contain one or more agents chosen from the group comprising sweeteners such as sucrose, lactose, fructose, saccharin or Nutrasweet*, flavorings such as peppermint oil, oil of intergreen, or cherry or orange flavorings, colorings, or stabilizers such as methyl- or propyl-paraben in order to obtain pharmaceutically acceptable preparations. The choice of vehicle and the content of active substance in the vehicle are generally determined in accordance with the solubility and chemical properties of the product, the particular mode of administration and the provisions to be observed in pharmaceutical practice. For example, excipients such as lactose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate and disintegrating agents such as starch, alginic acids and certain complex silica gels combined with lubricants such as magnesium stearate. sodium lauryl sulfate and talc may be used for preparing tablets, troches, pills, capsules and the like. To prepare a capsule, it is advantageous to use lactose and liquid carrier, such as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. When aqueous suspensions are used they may contain emulsifying agents or agents which facilitate suspension. Diluents such as sucrose, ethanol, polyols such as polyethylene glycol. propylene glycol and glycerol, and chloroform or mixtures thereof may also be used. In addition, the active compound may be incoφorated into sustained-release preparations and formulations. For oral administration, the active compound may be administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or it may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, or it may be compressed into tablets, or it may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet, or may be incorporated with excipient and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. For parenteral administration, emulsions, suspensions or solutions of the compounds according to the invention in vegetable oil, for example sesame oil, groundnut oil or olive oil, or aqueous-organic solutions such as water and propylene glycol, injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. as well as sterile aqueous solutions of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are used. The injectable forms must be fluid to the extent that it can be easily syringed, and proper fluidity can be maintained, for example. by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by use of agents delaying absoφtion, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin. The solutions of the salts of the products according to the invention are especially useful for administration by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Solutions of the active compound as a free base or pharmacologically acceptable salt can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropyl-cellulose. Dispersion can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof and in oils. The aqueous solutions, also comprising solutions of the salts in pure distilled water, may be used for intravenous administration with the proviso that their pH is suitably adjusted, that they are judiciously buffered and rendered isotonic with a sufficient quantity of glucose or sodium chloride and that they are sterilized by heating, irradiation, microfiltration, and/or by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal. and the like. Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incoφorating the active compound in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredient into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and the freeze drying technique which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. Topical administration, gels (water or alcohol based), creams or ointments containing compounds of the invention may be used. Compounds of the invention may be also incoφorated in a gel or matrix base for application in a patch, which would allow a controlled release of compound through trαwΛ'dermal barrier. For administration by inhalation, compounds of the invention may be dissolved or suspended in a suitable carrier for use in a nebulizer or a suspension or solution aerosol, or may be absorbed or adsorbed onto a suitable solid carrier for use in a dry powder inhaler. Solid compositions for rectal administration include suppositories formulated in accordance with known methods and containing at least one compound of formula I. Compositions according to the invention may also be formulated in a manner which resists rapid clearance from the vascular (arterial or venous) wall by convection and/or diffusion, thereby increasing the residence time of the viral particles at the desired site of action. A periadventitial depot comprising a compound according to the invention may be used for sustained release. One such useful depot for administering a compound according to the invention may be a copolymer matrix, such as ethylene-vinyl acetate, or a polyvinyl alcohol gel surrounded by a Silastic shell. Alternatively, a compound according to the invention may be delivered locally from a silicone polymer implanted in the adventitia. An alternative approach for minimizing washout of a compound according to the invention during percutaneous, transvascular delivery comprises the use of nondiffusible, drug-eluting microparticles. The microparticles may be comprised of a variety of synthetic polymers, such as polylactide for example, or natural substances, including proteins or polysaccharides. Such microparticles enable strategic manipulation of variables including total dose of drug and kinetics of its release. Microparticles can be injected efficiently into the arterial or venous wall through a porous balloon catheter or a balloon over stent, and are retained in the vascular wall and the periadventitial tissue for at least about two weeks. Formulations and methodologies for local, intravascular site-specific delivery of therapeutic agents are discussed in Reissen et al. (J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 1994; 23: 1234-1244), the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. A composition according to the invention may also comprise a hydrogel which is prepared from any biocompatible or non-cytotoxic (homo or hetero) polymer, such as a hydrophilic polyacrylic acid polymer that can act as a drug absorbing sponge. Such polymers have been described, for example, in application WO93/08845, the entire contents of which are hereby incoφorated by reference. Certain of them, such as, in particular, those obtained from ethylene and/or propylene oxide are commercially available. In the use of compounds according to the invention for treating pathologies which are linked to hyperproliferative disorders, the compounds according to the invention can be administered in different ways. For the treatment of restenosis. the compounds of the invention are administered directly to the blood vessel wall by means of an angioplasty balloon which is coated with a hydrophilic film (for example a hydrogel) which is saturated with the compound, or by means of any other catheter containing an infusion chamber for the compound, which can thus be applied in a precise manner to the site to be treated and allow the compound to be liberated locally and efficiently at the location of the cells to be treated. This method of administration advantageously makes it possible for the compound to contact quickly the cells in need of treatment. The treatment method of the invention preferably consists in introducing a compound according to the invention at the site to be treated. For example, a hydrogel containing composition can be deposited directly onto the surface of the tissue to be treated, for example during a surgical intervention. Advantageously, the hydrogel is introduced at the desired intravascular site by coating a catheter, for example a balloon catheter, and delivery to the vascular wall, preferably at the time of angioplasty. In a particularly advantageous manner, the saturated hydrogel is introduced at the site to be treated by means of a balloon catheter. The balloon may be chaperoned by a protective sheath as the catheter is advanced toward the target vessel, in order to minimize drug washoff after the catheter is introduced into the bloodstream. Another embodiment of the invention provides for a compound according to the invention to be administered by means of perfusion balloons. These perfusion balloons, which make it possible to maintain a blood flow and thus to decrease the risks of ischaemia of the myocardium, on inflation of the balloon, also enable the compound to be delivered locally at normal pressure for a relatively long time, more than twenty minutes, which may be necessary for its optimal action. Alternatively, a channelled balloon catheter ("channelled balloon angioplasty catheter", Mansfield Medical. Boston Scientific Coφ., Watertown, MA) may be used. The latter consists of a conventional balloon covered with a layer of 24 perforated channels which are perfused via an independent lumen through an additional infusion orifice. Various types of balloon catheters, such as double balloon, porous balloon, microporous balloon, channel balloon, balloon over stent and hydrogel catheter, all of which may be used to practice the invention, are disclosed in Reissen et al. (1994) , the entire contents of which are hereby incoφorated by reference. The use of a perfusion balloon catheter is especially advantageous, as it has the advantages of both keeping the balloon inflated for a longer period of time by retaining the properties of facilitated sliding and of site-specificity of the hydrogel, are gained simultaneously. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound according to the invention and poloxamer, such as Poloxamer 407 is a non-toxic, biocompatible polyol, commercially available (BASF, Parsippany, NJ). A poloxamer impregnated with a compound according to the invention may be deposited directly on the surface of the tissue to be treated, for example during a surgical intervention. Poloxamer possesses essentially the same advantages as hydrogel while having a lower viscosity. The use of a channel balloon catheter with a poloxamer impregnated with a compound according to the invention is especially advantageous. In this case, the advantages of both keeping the balloon inflated for a longer period of time, while retaining the properties of facilitated sliding, and of site- specificity of the poloxamer, are gained simultaneously. The percentage of active ingredient in the compositions of the invention may be varied, it being necessary that it should constitute a proportion such that a suitable dosage shall be obtained. Obviously, several unit dosage forms may be administered at about the same time. A dose employed may be determined by a physician or qualified medical professional, and depends upon the desired therapeutic effect, the route of administration and the duration of the treatment, and the condition of the patient. In the adult, the doses are generally from about 0.001 to about 50, preferably about 0.001 to about 5, mg/kg body weight per day by inhalation, from about 0.01 to about 100, preferably 0.1 to 70, more especially 0.5 to 10, mg/kg body weight per day by oral administration, and from about 0.001 to about 10, preferably 0.01 to 10, mg/kg body weight per day by intravenous administration. In each particular case, the doses are determined in accordance with the factors distinctive to the patient to be treated, such as age, weight, general state of health and other characteristics which can influence the efficacy of the compound according to the invention. The compounds/compositions according to the invention may be administered as frequently as necessary in order to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Some patients may respond rapidly to a higher or lower dose and may find much weaker maintenance doses adequate. For other patients, it may be necessary to have long-term treatments at the rate of 1 to 4 doses per day. in accordance with the physiological requirements of each particular patient. Generally, the active product may be administered orally 1 to 4 times per day. Of course, for other patients, it will be necessary to prescribe not more than one or two doses per day. The compounds of the present invention may also be formulated for use in conjunction with other therapeutic agents such as agents or in connection with the application of therapeutic techniques to address pharmacological conditions which may be ameliorated through the application of a compound of formula I. such as in the following: The compounds of the present invention may be used in the treatment of restenosis post angioplasty using any device such as balloon, ablation or laser techniques. The compounds of the present invention may be used in the treatment of restenosis following stent placement in the vasculature either as 1) primary treatment for vascular blockage, or 2) in the instance where angioplasty using any device fails to give a patent artery. The compounds of the present invention may be used either orally, by parenteral administration or the compound could be applied topically through the intervention of a specific device or as a properly formulated coating on a stent device. The compounds of the present invention may be used in the treatment of restenosis in combination with any anticoagulant, antiplatelet, antithrombotic or profibrinolytic agent. Often patients are concurrently treated prior, during and after interventional procedures with agents of these classes either in order to safely perform the interventional procedure or to prevent deleterious effects of thrombus formation. Some examples of classes of agents known to be anticoagulant, antiplatelet, antithrombotic or profibrinolytic agents include any formulation of heparin, low molecular weight heparins. pentasaccharides. fibrinogen receptor antagonists, thrombin inhibitors, Factor Xa inhibitors, or Factor Vila inhibitors. The compounds of the present invention may be used in combination with any antihypertensive agent or cholesterol or lipid regulating agent in the treatment of restenosis or atherosclerosis concurrently with the treatment of high blood pressure or atherosclerosis. Some examples of agents that are useful in the treatment of high blood pressure include compounds of the following classes; beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel antagonists and alpha-receptor antagonists. Some examples of agents that are useful in the treatment of elevated cholesterol levels or disregulated lipid levels include compounds known to be HMGCoA reductase inhibitors, compounds of the fibrate class, The compounds of the present invention may be used in the treatment of various forms of cancer either alone or in combination with compounds known to be useful in the treatment of cancer.

PDGF-R Tyrosine Kinase Autophosphorylation ELISA assay The titled assay is performed as described by Dolle et al. (J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37, 2627), which is incorporated herein by reference, with the exception of using the cell lysates derived from Human aortic smooth muscle cells (HAMSC) as described below. 2. Mitogenesis Assay General Procedure a. Cell Culture Human aortic smooth muscle cells (passage 4-9) are plated in 96 well plates in a growth supporting medium at 6000 cells/well and allowed to grow 2-3 days. At approximately 85% confluence, cells are growth arrested with serum free media (SFM). b. Mitogenesis Assay After 24 hour serum deprivation, medium is removed and replaced with test compound/vehicle in SFM (200 μl/well). Compounds are solubilized in cell culture DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM and further dilutions are made in SFM. After 30 min preincubation with compound, cells are stimulated with PDGF at 10 ng/mL. Determinations are performed in duplicate with stimulated and unstimulated wells at each compound concentration. Four hours later, 1 μCi 3 H thymidine/well is added. Cultures are terminated 24 hours after addition of growth factor. Cells are lifted with trypsin and harvested onto a filter mat using an automated cell harvester (Wallac MachII96). The filter mat is counted in a scintillation counter (Wallac Betaplate) to determine DNA-incoφorated label. 3. Chemotaxis Assay Human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC) at earlier passages are obtained from ATCC. Cells are grown in Clonetics SmGM 2 SingleQuots (media and cells at passages 4- 10 are used. When cells are 80% confluent, a fluorescent probe, calcein AM (5 mM, Molecular Probe), is added to the media and cells are incubated for 30 minutes. After washing with HEPES buffered saline, cells are lifted with trypsin and neutralized with MCDB 131 buffer (Gibco) with 0.1% BSA, 10 mM glutamine and 10%) fetal bovine serum. After centrifugation, cells are washed one more time and resuspended in the same buffer without fetal bovine serum at 30000 cells/50 mL. Cells are incubated with different concentrations of a compound of formula I (final DMSO concentration = 1 %) for 30 min at 37°C. For chemotaxis studies, 96 well modified Boyden chambers (Neuroprobe, Inc.) and a polycarbonate membrane with 8 mm pore size (Poretics, CA) are used. The membrane is coated with collagen (Sigma C3657, 0.1 mg/mL). PDGF-ββ (3 ng/mL) in buffer with and without a compound of formula I are placed in the lower chamber. Cells (30,000), with and without inhibitor, are placed in the upper chamber. Cells are incubated for 4 hours. The filter membrane is removed and cells on the upper membrane side are removed. After drying, fluoresce on the membrane is determined using Cytofluor II (Millipore) at excitation/emission wavelengths of 485/530 nm. In each experiment, an average cell migration is obtained from six replicates. Percent inhibition is determined from DMSO treated control values. From five points concentration-dependent inhibitions, IC 50 value is calculated. Results are presented as a mean±SEM from five such experiments. 4. EGF-Receptor Purification EGF-receptor purification is based on the procedure of Yarden and Schlessinger. A431 cells are grown in 80 cm^ bottles to confluency (2 x 10^ cells per bottle). The cells are washed twice with PBS and harvested with PBS containing 1 1.0 mmol EDTA ( 1 hour at 37°C, and centrifuged at 600g for 10 minutes. The cells are solubilized in 1 mL per 2 x 10^ cells of cold solubilization buffer (50 mmol Hepes buffer, pH 7.6, 1% Triton X-100, 150 mmol NaCl, 5 mmol EGTA, 1 mmol PMSF. 50 mg/mL aprotinin, 25 mmol benzamidine, 5 mg/mL leupeptic, and 10 mg/mL soybean trypsin inhibitor) for 20 minutes at 4°C. After centrifugation at 100,000g for 30 minutes, the supernatant is loaded onto a WGA- agarose column ( 100 mL of packed resin per 2 x 10^ cells) and shaken for 2 hours at 4°C. The unabsorbed material is removed and the resin washed twice with HTN buffer (50 mmol Hepes, pH 7.6, 0.1% Triton X-100, 150 mmol NaCl), twice with HTN buffer containing 1 M NaCl. and twice with HTNG buffer (50 mmol Hepes, pH 7.6, 0.1% Triton X-100, 150 mmol NaCl, and 10% glycerol). The EGF receptor is eluted batchwise with HTNG buffer containing 0.5 M N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (200 mL per 2 x 10^ cells.). The eluted material is stored in aliquots at -70°C and diluted before use with TMTNG buffer (50 mmol Tris-Mes buffer, pH 7.6, 0.1% Triton X-100. 150 mmol NaCl. 10% glycerol). 5. Inhibition of EGF-R Autophosphorylation A431 cells are grown to confluence on human fibronectin coated tissue culture dishes. After washing 2 times with ice-cold PBS, cells are lysed by the addition of 500 mL/ dish of lysis buffer (50 mmol Hepes, pH 7.5, 150 mmol NaCl. 1.5 mmol MgCl2, 1 mmol EGTA, 10% glycerol, l% triton X- 100, 1 mmol PMSF, 1 mg mL aprotinin, 1 mg/mL leupeptin) and incubating 5 minutes at 4°C. After EGF stimulation (500 mg mL 10 minutes at 37°C) immunoprecipitation is performed with anti EGF-R (Ab 108) and the autophosphorylation reaction (50 mL aliquots, 3 mCi [g-->~P]ATP) sample is carried out in the presence of 2 or 10 mM of compound of the present invention, for 2 minutes at 4°C. The reaction is stopped by adding hot electrophoresis sample buffer. SDA-PAGE analysis (7.5% els) is followed by autoradiography and the reaction is quantitated by densitometry scanning of the x-ray films, a. Cell Culture Cells termed HER 14 and K721 A are prepared by transfecύng NIH3T3 cells (clone 2.2) (From C. Fryling. NCI, NIH), which lack endogenous EGF-receptors, with cDNA constructs of wild-type EGF- receptor or mutant EGF-receptor lacking tyrosine kinase activity (in which Lys 721 at the ATP-binding site is replace by an Ala residue, respectively). All cells are grown in DMEM with 10% calf serum (Hyclone, Logan, Utah). 6. Selectivity vs. PKA and PKC is determined using commercial kits: a.

In the alternative, the tyrosine kinase inhibition activity is determined according to the following method. A substrate (tyrosine-containing substrate, Biot-(β Ala) 3 -Lys-Val-Glu-Lys-Ile-Gly-Glu-Gly- Thr-Tyr-Glu-Val-Val-Tyr-Lys-(NH 2 ) recognized by P56 lc , 1 μM) is first phosphorylated in presence or absence of a given concentration of the test compound, by a given amount of enzyme (enzyme is produced by expression of P56 lc gene in a yeast construct) purified from a cloned yeast (purification of the enzyme is done by following classical methods) in the presence of ATP (l OμM) MgC12( 2.5mM), MnC12 (2.5mM), NaCl (25mM), DTT (0.4mM) in Hepes 50mM. pH 7.5. over 10 min at ambient temperature. The total reaction volume is 50μl, and the reactions are performed in a black 96-well fluoroplate. The reaction is stopped by addition of 150μl of stopping buffer (lOOmM Hepes pH7.5, KF 400mM, EDTA 133 mM. BSA lg/1.) containing a selected anti tyrosine antibody labelled with the Europium cryptate (PY20-K) at 0.8μg/ml and allophycocyanine-labelled streptavidin (XL665) at 4μg/ml. The labelling of Streptavidin and anti-tyrosine antibodies were performed by Cis-Bio International (France). The mixture is counted using a Packard Discovery counter which is able to measure time- resolved homogeneous fluorescence transfer (excitation at 337 nm. readout at 620 nm and 665 nm). The ratio of the 665 nm signal / 620nm signal is a measure of the phosphorylated tyrosine concentration. The blank is obtained by replacing enzyme by buffer. The specific signal is the difference between the ratio obtained without inhibitor and the ratio with the blank. The percentage of specific signal is calculated. The IC50 is calculated with 10 concentrations of inhibitor in duplicate using Xlfit soft. The reference compound is staurosporine (Sigma) and it exhibits an IC 50 of 30± 6 nM (n=20). The results obtained by the above experimental methods evidence that the compounds within the scope of the present invention possess useful PDGF receptor protein tyrosine kinase inhibition properties or p56 /c * tyrosine kinase inhibition properties, and thus possess therapeutic value. The above pharmacological test results may be used to determine the dosage and mode of administration for the particular therapy sought. The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof.
