Description: 2 , 4 -DI (HETER0- ) ARYLAMINO ( -OXY) - 5-SUBSTITUTED PYRIMIDINES AS ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS The invention relates to pyrimidine derivatives, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or in vivo hydrolysable esters thereof, which possess cell-cycle inhibitory activity and are accordingly useful for their anti-cancer (such as anti-cell-proliferative, anti-cell migration and/or apoptotic) activity and are therefore useful in methods of treatment of a warm-blooded animal, such as man. The invention also relates to processes for the manufacture of said pyrimidine derivatives, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use in the manufacture of medicaments or use in the production of an anti-cancer (anti-cell-proliferation/migration and/or apoptotic) effect in a warm-blooded animal such as man. A family of intracellular proteins called cyclins play a central role in the cell cycle. The synthesis and degradation of cyclins is tightly controlled such that their level of expression fluctuates during the cell cycle. Cyclins bind to cyclin-dependent serine/threonine kinases (CDKs) and this association is essential for CDK (such as CDK1, CDK2, CDK4 and/or CDK6) activity within the cell. Although the precise details of how each of these factors combine to regulate CDK activity is poorly understood, the balance between the two dictates whether or not the cell will progress through the cell cycle. The recent convergence of oncogene and tumour suppresser gene research has identified regulation of entry into the cell cycle as a key control point of mitogenesis in tumours. Moreover, CDKs appear to be downstream of a number of oncogene signalling pathways. Disregulation of CDK activity by upregulation of cyclins and/or deletion of endogenous inhibitors appears to be an important axis between mitogenic signalling pathways and proliferation of tumour cells. Accordingly it has been recognised that an inhibitor of cell cycle kinases, particularly inhibitors of CDK2, CDK4 and/or CDK6 (which operate at the S-phase, Gl-S and Gl-S phase respectively) should be of value as a selective inhibitor of cell proliferation, such as growth of mammalian cancer cells. Furthermore, it is believed that inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), which is involved in signal transduction pathways, induces apoptosis (cell-death) and/or inhibits cell migration and an inhibitor of FAK may therefore have value as an anti-cancer agent. The present invention is based on the discovery that certain 2,4-pyrimidine compounds surprisingly inhibit the effects of cell cycle kinases showing selectivity for CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6, and also inhibit FAK and thus possess anti-cancer (anti-cell-migration/proliferation and/or apoptotic) properties. Such properties are expected to be of value in the treatment of disease states associated with aberrant cell cycles and cell proliferation such as cancers (solid tumours and leukemias), fibroproliferative and differentiative disorders, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Kaposi's sarcoma, haemangioma, acute and chronic nephropathies, atheroma, atherosclerosis, arterial restenosis, autoimmune diseases, acute and chronic inflammation, bone diseases and ocular diseases with retinal vessel proliferation.

The skilled reader will appreciate that the formation of the side chain (la) or (la') described in Processes c), d) and e) above and of the sidechain R 2 in i) and ii) above may also be performed on intermediates. For example: (IIAA) (IIAB) H 2 , Pd/C (10%), EtOH. T A preferred process of the invention is Process b). It will be appreciated that certain of the various ring substituents in the compounds of the present invention may be introduced by standard aromatic substitution reactions or generated by conventional functional group modifications either prior to or immediately following the processes mentioned above, and as such are included in the process aspect of the invention. Such reactions and modifications include, for example, introduction of a substituent by means of an aromatic substitution reaction, reduction of substituents, alkylation of substituents and oxidation of substituents. The reagents and reaction conditions for such procedures are well known in the chemical art. Particular examples of aromatic substitution reactions include the introduction of a nitro group using concentrated nitric acid, the introduction of an acyl group using, for example, an acyl halide and Lewis acid (such as aluminium trichloride) under Friedel Crafts conditions; the introduction of an alkyl group using an alkyl halide and Lewis acid (such as aluminium trichloride) under Friedel Crafts conditions; and the introduction of a halo group. Particular examples of modifications include the reduction of a nitro group to an amino group by for example, catalytic hydrogenation with a nickel catalyst or treatment with iron in the presence of hydrochloric acid with heating; oxidation of alkylthio to alkylsulphinyl or alkylsulphonyl. It will also be appreciated that in some of the reactions mentioned herein it may be necessary/desirable to protect any sensitive groups in the compounds. The instances where protection is necessary or desirable and suitable methods for protection are known to those skilled in the art. Conventional protecting groups may be used in accordance with standard practice (for illustration see T. W. Green, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons, 1991). Thus, if reactants include groups such as amino, carboxy or hydroxy it may be desirable to protect the group in some of the reactions mentioned herein. A suitable protecting group for an amino or alkylamino group is, for example, an acyl group, for example an alkanoyl group such as acetyl, an alkoxycarbonyl group, for example a methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl or t-butoxycarbonyl group, an arylmethoxycarbonyl group, for example benzyloxycarbonyl, or an aroyl group, for example benzoyl. The deprotection conditions for the above protecting groups necessarily vary with the choice of protecting group. Thus, for example, an acyl group such as an alkanoyl or alkoxycarbonyl group or an aroyl group may be removed for example, by hydrolysis with a suitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example lithium or sodium hydroxide. Alternatively an acyl group such as a t-butoxycarbonyl group may be removed, for example, by treatment with a suitable acid as hydrochloric, sulphuric or phosphoric acid or trifluoroacetic acid and an arylmethoxycarbonyl group such as a benzyloxycarbonyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon, or by treatment with a Lewis acid for example boron tris(trifluoroacetate). A suitable alternative protecting group for a primary amino group is, for example, a phthaloyl group which may be removed by treatment with an alkylamine, for example dimethylaminopropylamine, or with hydrazine. A suitable protecting group for a hydroxy group is, for example, an acyl group, for example an alkanoyl group such as acetyl, an aroyl group, for example benzoyl, or an arylmethyl group, for example benzyl. The deprotection conditions for the above protecting groups will necessarily vary with the choice of protecting group. Thus, for example, an acyl group such as an alkanoyl or an aroyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrolysis with a suitable base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, for example lithium or sodium hydroxide. Alternatively an arylmethyl group such as a benzyl group may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon. A suitable protecting group for a carboxy group is, for example, an esterifying group, for example a methyl or an ethyl group which may be removed, for example, by hydrolysis with a base such as sodium hydroxide, or for example a t-butyl group which may be removed, for example, by treatment with an acid, for example an organic acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, or for example a benzyl group which may be removed, for example, by hydrogenation over a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon. The protecting groups may be removed at any convenient stage in the synthesis using conventional techniques well known in the chemical art. Many of the intermediates defined herein are novel, for example, those of the formula II and IV and these are provided as a further feature of the invention. ASSAYS As stated hereinbefore the pyrimidine derivative defined in the present invention possesses anti-cell-proliferation activity such as anti-cancer activity which is believed to arise from the CDK and/or FAK inhibitory activity of the compound. These properties may be assessed, for example, using the procedure set out below:- CDK4 Inhibition Assay The following abbreviations have been used :- HEPES is N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) DTT is Dithiothretiol PMSF is Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride The compounds were tested in an in vitro kinase assay in 96 well format using Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA - obtained from Amersham) for measuring incoφoration of [γ-33-P]-Adenosine Triphosphate into a test substrate (GST-Retinoblastoma). In each well was placed the compound to be tested (diluted in DMSO and water to correct concentrations) and in control wells either pi 6 as an inhibitor control or DMSO as a positive control. Approximately 0.5μl of CDK4/Cyclin Dl partially-purified enzyme (amount dependent on enzyme activity) diluted in 25μl incubation buffer was added to each well then 20μl of GST-Rb/ATP/ATP33 mixture (containing 0.5μg GST-Rb and 0.2μM ATP and 0.14μCi [γ-33-P]-Adenosine Triphosphate), and the resulting mixture shaken gently, then incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. To each well was then added 150μL stop solution containing (0.8mg/well of Protein A-PNT SPA bead (Amersham)), 20pM/well of Anti-Glutathione Transferase, Rabbit IgG (obtained from Molecular Probes), 61mM EDTA and 50mM HEPES pH 7.5 containing 0.05% sodium azide. The plates were sealed with Topseal-S plate sealers, left for two hours then spun at 2500φm, 1124xg., for 5 minutes. The plates were read on a Topcount for 30 seconds per well. The incubation buffer used to dilute the enzyme and substrate mixes contained 50mM HEPES pH7.5, lOmM MnCl 2 , lmM DTT, lOOμM Sodium vanadate, lOOμM NaF, lOmM Sodium Glycerophosphate, BSA (lmg/ml final). As a control, another known inhibitor of CDK4 may be used in place of pi 6. Test substrate In this assay only part of the retinoblastoma (Science 1987 Marl3;235(4794):1394-1399; Lee W.H., Bookstein R, Hong F., Young L.J., Shew J.Y., Lee EN.) was used, fused to a GST tag. PCR of retinoblastoma amino acids 379-928 (obtained from retinoblastoma plasmid ATCC pLRbRΝL) was performed, and the sequence cloned into pGEX 2T fusion vector (Smith D.B. and Johnson, K.S. Gene 67, 31 (1988); which contained a tac promoter for inducible expression, internal lac I q gene for use in any E.Coli host, and a coding region for thrombin cleavage - obtained from Pharmacia Biotech) which was used to amplify amino acids 792-928. This sequence was again cloned into pGEX 2T. The retinoblastoma 792-928 sequence so obtained was expressed in E.Coli (BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells ) using standard inducible expression techniques, and purified as follows. E.coli paste was resuspended in lOml/g of ΝETΝ buffer (50mM Tris pH 7.5, 120mM ΝaCl, lmM EDTA, 0.5%v/v ΝP-40, lmM PMSF, lug/ml leupeptin, lug/ml aprotinin and lug/ml pepstatin) and sonicated for 2 x 45 seconds per 100ml homogenate. After centrifugation, the supernatant was loaded onto a 10ml glutathione Sepharose column (Pharmacia Biotech, Herts, UK), and washed with NETN buffer. After washing with kinase buffer (50mM HEPES pH 7.5, lOmM MgC12, lmM DTT, imM PMSF, lug/ml leupeptin, lug/ml aprotinin and lug/ml pepstatin) the protein was eluted with 50mM reduced glutathione in kinase buffer. Fractions containing GST-Rb(792-927) were pooled and dialysed overnight against kinase buffer. The final product was analysed by Sodium Dodeca Sulfate (SDS) PAGE (Polyacrylamide gel) using 8-16% Tris-Glycine gels (Novex, San Diego, USA). CDK4 and Cyclin Dl CDK4 and Cyclin Dl were cloned from RNA from MCF-7 cell line (obtained from ATCC number:HTB22, breast adenocarcinoma line) as follows. The RNA was prepared from MCF-7 cells, then reverse transcribed using oligo dT primers. PCR was used to amplify the complete coding sequence of each gene [CDK4 amino acids 1-303; Ref. Cell 1992 Oct 16; 71(2): 323-334; Matsushime H., Ewen M.E., Stron D.K., Kato J.Y., Hanks S.K., Roussel M.F., Sherr C.J. and Cyclin Dl amino acids 1-296; Ref. Cold Spring Harb. Symp. Quant. Biol., 1991; 56:93-97; Arnold A., Motokura T., Bloom T., Kronenburg, Ruderman J., Juppner H., Kim H.G.]. After sequencing the PCR products were cloned using standard techniques into the insect expression vector pVL1393 (obtained from Invitrogen 1995 catalogue number : Nl 392-20). The PCR products were then dually expressed [using a standard virus Baculogold co-infection technique] into the insect SF21 cell system (Spodoptera Frugiperda cells derived from ovarian tissue of the Fall Army Worm -Commercially available). The following Example provides details of the production of Cyclin D1/CDK4 in SF21 cells (in TCI 00 + 10% FBS(TCS) + 0.2% Pluronic) having dual infection MOI 3 for each virus of Cyclin D 1 & CDK4. Example production of Cyclin D1/CDK4 SF21 cells grown in a roller bottle culture to 2.33 x 10 6 cells/ml were used to inoculate 10 x 500 ml roller bottles at 0.2 x 10E6 cells/ml. The roller bottles were incubated on a roller After 3 days (72 hrs.) the cells were counted, and the average from 2 bottles found to be 1.86 x 10E6 cells/ml. (99% viable). The cultures were then infected with the dual viruses at an MOI 3 for each virus. 10 x 500ml were infected with JS303 Cyclin Dl virus titre - 9 x 10E7 pfu/ml. JS304 CDK4 virus titre - 1 x 10E8 pfu/ml. Cyclin Dl 1.86 x 10E6 x 500 x 3 = 31 ml of virus for each 500 ml. bottle. 0.9 x 10 s CDK4 1.86 10E6 x 500 x 3 = 28 ml of virus for each 500 ml. bottle. 1 x 10 s The viruses were mixed together before addition to the cultures, and the cultures returned to the roller rig 28°C. After 3 days (72 hrs.) post infection the 5 Litres of culture was harvested. The total cell count at harvest was 1.58 x 10E6 cells/ml.(99% viable). The cells were spun out at 2500φm, 30 mins., 4°C in Heraeus Omnifuge 2.0 RS in 250 ml lots. The supernatant was discarded. 20 pellets of ~ 4 x 10E8 cells/pellet were snap frozen in LΝ 2 and stored at -80°C in CCRF cold room. The SF21 cells were then hypotonically lysed by resuspending in lysis buffer (50mM HEPES pH 7.5, lOmM magnesium chloride, lmM DTT, lOmM glycerophosphate, O.lmM PMSF, O.lmM sodium fluoride, O.lmM sodium orthovanadate, 5ug/ml aprotinin, 5ug/ml leupeptin and 20% w/v sucrose), and adding ice cold deionised water. After centrifugation, the supernatant was loaded onto a Poros HQ/M 1.4/100 anion exchange column (PE Biosystems, Hertford, UK). CDK4 and Cyclin Dl were coeluted with 375mM NaCl in lysis buffer, and their presence checked by western blot, using suitable 5 anti-CDK4 and anti-Cyclin Dl antibodies (obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, California, US). pi 6 control CNature 366.:704-707: 1993: Serrano M. Harmon GJ. Beach D) pl6 (the natural inhibitor of CDK4/Cyclin Dl) was amplified from HeLa cDNA (Hela cells obtained from ATCC CCL2, human epitheloid carcinoma from cervix; Cancer Res. 12: 10 264, 1952), cloned into pTB 375 NBSE which had a 5' His tag, and transformed using standard techniques into BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells (obtained from Promega; Ref. Studier F.W. and Moffat B.A., J. Mol. Biol., 189, 113, 1986). A 1 litre culture was grown to the appropriate OD then induced with IPTG to express pl6 overnight. The cells were then lysed by sonication in 50mM sodium phosphate, 0.5M sodium chloride, PMSF, 0.5μg/ml leupeptin and 0.5μg/ml 15 aprotinin. The mixture was spun down, the supernatant added to nickel chelate beads and mixed for 1 Vi hours. The beads were washed in sodium phosphate, NaCl pH 6.0 and pl6 product eluted in sodium phosphate, NaCl pH 7.4 with 200mM imidazole. The pTB NBSE was constructed from pTB 375 NBPE as follows :- p TB375 0 The background vector used for generation of pTB 375 was pZEN0042 (see UK patent 2253852) and contained the tetA/tetR inducble tetracycline resistance sequence from plasmid RP4 and the cer stability sequence from plasmid pKS492 in a pAT153 derived background. pTB375 was generated by the addition of an expression cassette consisting of the T7 gene 10 promoter, multiple cloning site and T7 gene 10 termination sequence. In addition, a terminator 5 sequence designed to reduce transcriptional readthrough from the background vector was included upstream of the expression cassette. pTB 375 NBPE The unique EcoRI restriction site present in pTB 375 was removed. A new multiple cloning site containing the recognition sequences for the restriction enzymes Ndel, BamHI, 0 Pstl and EcoRI was introduced into pTB 375 between the Ndel and BamHI sites destroying the original BamHI site present in pTB 375. pTB 375 NBSE A new multiple cloning site containing the recognition sequences for the restriction enzymes Ndel, BamHI, Smal and EcoRI was introduced into pTB 375 NBPE between the Ndel and EcoRI sites. The oligonucleotide containing these restriction sites also contained 6 histidine codons located between the Ndel and BamHI sites in the same reading frame as the inititiator codon (ATG) present within the Ndel site. By analogy to the above, assays designed to assess inhibition of CDK2 and CDK6 may be constructed. CDK2 (EMBL Accession No. X62071) may be used together with Cyclin A or Cyclin E (see EMBL Accession No. M73812), and further details for such assays are contained in PCT International Publication No. WO99/21845, the relevant Biochemical & Biological Evaluation sections of which are hereby incoφorated by reference. If using CDK2 with Cyclin E partial co-purification may be achieved as follows :- SJ21 cells are resuspended in lysis buffer (50mM Tris pH 8.2, lOmM MgCl 2 , lmM DTT, lOmM glycerophosphate, O.lmM sodium orthovanadate, O.lmM NaF, lmM PMSF, lug/ml leupeptin and lug/ml aprotinin) and homogenised for 2 minutes in a 10ml Dounce homgeniser. After centrifugation, the supernatant is loaded onto a Poros HQ/M 1.4/100 anion exchange column (PE Biosystems, Hertford, UK). CDK2 and Cyclin E are coeluted at the beginning of a 0-1 M NaCl gradient (run in lysis buffer minus protease inhibitors) over 20 column volumes. Co-elution is checked by western blot using both anti-CDK2 and anti-Cyclin E antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, California, US). FAK3 Kinase Inhibition Assay This assay determines the ability of a test compound to inhibit tyrosine kinase activity of human Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK). DNA encoding FAK is obtained by total gene synthesis (Edwards M, International Biotechnology Lab 5(3), 19-25, 1987) or by clomng. These are then expressed in a suitable expression system to obtain polypeptide with tyrosine kinase activity. For example, FAK, obtained by expression of recombinant protein in insect cells, was found to display intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. FAK (full length human cDNA described by Andre et al (Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1993, 190 (1): 140-147; EMBL/GenBank Accession Number L05186)) was modified such that the resulting protein when translated had a 6-histidine tag at the N-terminus immediately preceding the start methionine. Active FAK protein has been previously expressed in a baculovirus system using a similar N-terminal 6-histidine tag (Protein Expression And Purification, 1996, 7: 12-18). The human FAK cDNA was cloned into the baculovirus transplacement vector, pFastbac 1 (Life Technologies), and the recombinant construct was co-transfected into insect cells (for example Spodoptera frugiperda 21(Sf21)) 5 with viral DNA to prepare recombinant baculovirus (details of the methods for the assembly of recombinant DNA molecules and the preparation and use of recombinant baculovirus can be found in standard texts for example Sambrook et al, 1989, Molecular cloning - A Laboratory Manual, 2nd edition, Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory Press and O'Reilly et al, 1992, Baculovirus Expression Vectors - A Laboratory Manual, W. H. Freeman and Co, New York. 10 Details specific to the use of the pFastbac ('Bac to Bac') system are provided in Anderson et al., 1995, FOCUS (Life Technologies Bulletin Magazine), 17, p53.) For expression of biologically active human FAK protein, Sf21 cells were infected with plaque-pure FAK recombinant virus at a multiplicity of infection of 3 and harvested 48 hours later. Harvested cells were washed with ice cold phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS) 15 (lOmM sodium phosphate pH7.4, 138mM sodium chloride, 2.7mM potassium chloride) then resuspended in ice cold lysis buffer (50mM HEPES pH7.5, lmM Dithiothreitol, lOOuM Sodium Fluoride, lOOuM Sodium Orthovanadate, lOmM Glycerophosphate, lOOuM Phenylmethylsulphonylfluoride (PMSF), 5ug/ml Aprotinin, 5ug/ml Leupeptin, 1% Tween; the PMSF being added just before use from a freshly-prepared lOOmM solution in methanol) using 20 250μl lysis buffer per 10 million cells. The suspension was then incubated on ice for 15 minutes and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 13,000 φm at 4°C. The supernatant (enzyme stock) was removed and aliquots made which were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and then stored at -70°C. For a typical batch, stock enzyme was diluted 1 in 250 with enzyme diluent ((lOOmM HEPES pH 7.4, 0.2mM Dithiothreitol, 200uM Sodium Orthovanadate, 0.1% Triton X-100) and 25 50ml of freshly diluted enzyme was used for each assay well (see FAK3 protocol, below). FAK3: In vitro Enzyme assay Protocol A stock of substrate solution was prepared from a random copolymer containing tyrosine, for example Poly (Glu, Ala, Tyr) 6:3:1 (Sigma P3899), stored as 1 mg/ml stock in PBS at -20°C and diluted 1 in 500 with PBS for plate coating. 30 On the day before the assay lOOμl of diluted substrate solution was dispensed into all wells of assay plates (Maxisoφ 96 well immunoplates Life technologies, Cat. No. 439454A) which were sealed with plate sealers and left overnight at 4°C. On the day of the assay the substrate solution was discarded and the assay plate wells were washed once with 200μl PBST (PBS containing 0.05% v/v Tween 20) and once with 200μl 50mM Hepes pH7.4. Test compounds were made up as lOmM or 30mM stocks in DMSO and then further diluted in glass distilled water diluted to a concentration 10 fold higher than the final assay concentration. lOμl of diluted compound was transferred to wells in the washed assay plates. "No compound" control wells contained lOμl glass distilled water instead of compound. Forty microlitres of 25mM manganese chloride containing 6.25μM adenosine-5 '-triphosphate (ATP) was added to all test wells. To start the reactions 50μl of freshly diluted enzyme was added to each well and the plates were incubated at 23C for 90 minutes. Then the reaction was stopped by adding lOOμl of PBS containing 20mM EDTA. The liquid was then discarded and the wells were washed twice with PBST. One hundred microlitres of mouse HRP-linked anti-phospho tyrosine antibody (Santa Cruz, Product SC 7020-HRP), diluted 1 in 1500 with PBST containing 0.5% w/v bovine serum albumin (BSA), was added to each well and the plates were incubated for 1 hour at room temperature before discarding the liquid and washing the wells twice with 200μl PBST. One hundred microlitres of2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) solution, freshly prepared using one 50mg ABTS tablet (Boehringer 1204 521) in 50ml freshly prepared 50mM phosphate-citrate buffer pH5.0 + 0.03% sodium perborate (made with 1 phosphate citrate buffer with sodium perborate (PCSB) capsule (Sigma P4922) per 100ml distilled water), was added to each well. Plates were then incubated for 20-60 minutes at room temperature until the absorbance value of the "no compound" control wells, measured at 405nm using a plate reading spectrophotometer, was approximately 1.0. Dose response curves were generated from the absorbance readings using Origin Software. Compounds were ranked for potency using the Inhibitory Concentration 50 (IC50), as defined by Origin Software analysis. Although the pharmacological properties of the compounds of the formula (I) vary with structural change, in general activity possessed by compounds of the formula (I) in the above assays may be demonstrated at IC 50 concentrations or doses in the range 250 μM to InM. When tested in the above in vitro assay the CDK4 inhibitory activity of Example 45 was measured as IC 50 = 0.235μM. When tested in the above in vitro assay the FAK inhibitory - Zo - activity of Example 47 was measured as IC 50 = 0.097μM and that of Example 52 as IC 50 = 0.814μM. The in vivo activity of the compounds of the present invention may be assessed by standard techniques, for example by measuring inhibition of cell growth and assessing cytotoxicity.

Molecular Biology of the Cell (1996) 7, pl209-1224. Inhibition of cell growth may be measured by staining cells with Sulforhodamine B (SRB), a fluorescent dye that stains proteins and therefore gives an estimation of amount of protein (i.e. cells) in a well (see Boyd, M. R. (1989) Status of the NCI preclinical antitumour drug discovery screen. Prin. Prac Oncol 10:1-12). Thus, the following details are provided of measuring inhibition of cell growth:- Cells were plated in appropriate medium in a volume of lOOμl in 96 well plates; media was Dulbecco's Modified Eagle media for MCF-7, SK-UT-1B and SK-UT-1. The cells were allowed to attach overnight, then inhibitor compounds were added at various concentrations in a maximum concentration of 1% DMSO (v/v). A control plate was assayed to give a value for cells before dosing. Cells were incubated at 37°C, (5% CO2) for three days. At the end of three days TCA was added to the plates to a final concentration of 16% (v/v). Plates were then incubated at 4°C for 1 hour, the supernatant removed and the plates washed in tap water. After drying, lOOμl SRB dye (0.4% SRB in 1% acetic acid) was added for 30 minutes at 37°C. Excess SRB was removed and the plates washed in 1% acetic acid. The SRB bound to protein was solubilised in lOmM Tris pH7.5 and shaken for 30 minutes at room temperature. The ODs were read at 540nm, and the concentration of inhibitor causing 50% inhibition of growth was determined from a semi-log plot of inhibitor concentration versus absorbance. The concentration of compound that reduced the optical density to below that obtained when the cells were plated at the start of the experiment gave the value for toxicity. Typical IC 50 values for compounds of the invention when tested in the SRB assay are in the range lmM to InM. According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a pyrimidine derivative of the formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, as defined hereinbefore in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier. The composition may be in a form suitable for oral administration, for example as a tablet or capsule, for parenteral injection (including intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravascular or infusion) as a sterile solution, suspension or emulsion, for topical administration as an ointment or cream or for rectal administration as a suppository. In general the above compositions may be prepared in a conventional manner using conventional excipients. The pyrimidine will normally be administered to a warm-blooded animal at a unit dose within the range 5-5000 mg per square meter body area of the animal, i.e. approximately 0.1-100 mg/kg, and this normally provides a therapeutically-effective dose. A unit dose form such as a tablet or capsule will usually contain, for example 1-250 mg of active ingredient. Preferably a daily dose in the range of 1-50 mg/kg is employed. However the daily dose will necessarily be varied depending upon the host treated, the particular route of administration, and the severity of the illness being treated. Accordingly the optimum dosage may be determined by the practitioner who is treating any particular patient. According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a pyrimidine derivative of the formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, as defined hereinbefore for use in a method of prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of a warm-blooded animal, such as man. We have found that the pyrimidine derivatives defined in the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, are effective cell cycle inhibitors (anti-cell proliferation agents), which property (without being bound by theory) is believed to arise from their CDK inhibitory properties. The compounds are also effective inhibitors of FAK. Accordingly the compounds of the present invention are expected to be „ Λ - 30 - useful in the treatment of diseases or medical conditions mediated alone or in part by CDK and/or FAK enzymes, i.e. the compounds may be used to produce a CDK and/or FAK inhibitory effect in a warm-blooded animal in need of such treatment. Thus the compounds of the present invention provide a method for treating the proliferation and/or migration of malignant cells characterised by inhibition of CDK and/or FAK enzymes, i.e. the compounds may be used to produce an anti-proliferative/migration effect mediated alone or in part by the inhibition of CDKs and/or FAK. The compounds may also be useful as FAK inhibitors by inducing cell-death (apoptosis). Such a pyrimidine derivative of the invention is expected to possess a wide range of anti-cancer properties as CDKs and/or FAK have been implicated in many common human cancers such as leukaemia and breast, lung, colon, rectal, stomach, prostate, bladder, pancreas and ovarian cancer. Thus it is expected that a pyrimidine derivative of the invention will possess anti-cancer activity against these cancers. It is in addition expected that a pyrimidine derivative of the present invention will possess activity against a range of leukaemias, lymphoid malignancies and solid tumours such as carcinomas and sarcomas in tissues such as the liver, kidney, prostate and pancreas. In particular such compounds of the invention are expected to slow advantageously the growth of primary and recurrent solid tumours of, for example, the colon, breast, prostate, lungs and skin. More particularly such compounds of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, are expected to inhibit the growth of those primary and recurrent solid tumours which are associated with CDK and/or FAK, especially those tumours which are significantly dependent on CDK and/or FAK for their growth and spread, including for example, certain tumours of the colon, breast, prostate, lung, vulva and skin. It is further expected that a pyrimidine derivative of the present invention will possess activity against other cell-proliferation/migration diseases in a wide range of other disease states including leukemias, fibroproliferative and differentiative disorders, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Kaposi's sarcoma, haemangioma, acute and chronic nephropathies, atheroma, atherosclerosis, arterial restenosis, autoimmune diseases, acute and chronic inflammation, bone diseases and ocular diseases with retinal vessel proliferation. Thus according to this aspect of the invention there is provided a pyrimidine derivative of the formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, as defined hereinbefore for use as a medicament; and the use of a pyrimidine derivative of the formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, as ... defined hereinbefore in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the production of an anti-cancer, cell cycle inhibitory (anti-cell-proliferation) effect and/or a FAK inhibitory (anti-cell migration and/or apoptosis inducing) effect in a warm-blooded animal such as man. Particularly, a cell cycle inhibitory effect is produced at the S or Gl-S phase by inhibition of CDK2, CDK4 and/or CDK6, especially CDK4 and CDK6. According to a further feature of this aspect of the invention there is provided a method for producing an anti-cancer, cell cycle inhibitory (anti-cell-proliferation) effect and/or a FAK inhibitory (anti-cell migration and/or apoptosis inducing) effect in a warm-blooded animal, such as man, in need of such treatment which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of a pyrimidine derivative as defined immediately above. Particularly, an inhibitory effect is produced at the S or Gl-S phase by inhibition of CDK2, CDK4 and/or CDK6, especially CDK4 and CDK6. As stated above the size of the dose required for the therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of a particular cell-proliferation disease will necessarily be varied depending on the host treated, the route of administration and the severity of the illness being treated. A unit dose in the range, for example, 1-100 mg/kg, preferably 1-50 mg/kg is envisaged. The CDK and/or FAK inhibitory activity defined hereinbefore may be applied as a sole therapy or may involve, in addition to a compound of the invention, one or more other substances and/or treatments. Such conjoint treatment may be achieved by way of the simultaneous, sequential or separate administration of the individual components of the treatment. In the field of medical oncology it is normal practice to use a combination of different forms of treatment to treat each patient with cancer. In medical oncology the other component(s) of such conjoint treatment in addition to the cell cycle inhibitory treatment defined hereinbefore may be: surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Such chemotherapy may cover three main categories of therapeutic agent: (i) other cell cycle inhibitory agents that work by the same or different mechanisms from those defined hereinbefore; (ii) cytostatic agents such as antioestrogens (for example tamoxifen, toremifene, raloxifene, droloxifene, iodoxyfene), progestogens (for example megestrol acetate), aromatase inhibitors (for example anastrozole, letrazole, vorazole, exemestane), antiprogestogens, antiandrogens (for example flutamide, nilutamide, bicalutamide, cyproterone acetate), LHRH agonists and antagonists (for example goserelin acetate, luprolide), inhibitors of testosterone 5α-dihydroreductase (for example fmasteride), anti-invasion agents (for example metalloproteinase inhibitors like marimastat and inhibitors of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor function) and inhibitors of growth factor function, (such growth factors include for example platelet derived growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor such inhibitors include growth factor antibodies, growth factor receptor antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and serine/threonine kinase inhibitors); and (iii) antiproliferative/antineoplastic drugs and combinations thereof, as used in medical oncology, such as antimetabolites (for example antifolates like methotrexate, fluoropyrimidines like 5-fluorouracil, purine and adenosine analogues, cytosine arabinoside); antitumour antibiotics (for example anthracyclines like doxorubicin, daunomycin, epirubicin and idarubicin, mitomycin-C, dactinomycin, mithramycin); platinum derivatives (for example cisplatin, carboplatin); alkylating agents (for example nitrogen mustard, melphalan, chlorambucil, busulphan, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, nitrosoureas, thiotepa); antimitotic agents (for example vinca alkaloids like vincrisitine and taxoids like taxol, taxotere); topoisomerase inhibitors (for example epipodophyllotoxins like etoposide and teniposide, amsacrine, topotecan). According to this aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical product comprising a pyrimidine derivative of the formula (I) as defined hereinbefore, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, and an additional anti -tumour substance as defined hereinbefore for the conjoint treatment of cancer. An anti-emetic may also be usefully administered, for example when using such conjoint treatment as described above. In addition to their use in therapeutic medicine, the compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are also useful as pharmacological tools in the development and standardisation of in vitro and in vivo test systems for the evaluation of the effects of inhibitors of cell cycle activity in laboratory ammals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, monkeys, rats and mice, as part of the search for new therapeutic agents.
