Description:
[0001]     This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/715,260, filed Sep. 8, 2005, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/626,288, filed Nov. 9, 2004. The entire contents of the above-identified applications are hereby incorporated by reference. 
     
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0002]     Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) are key enzymes in processes that regulate cell growth and differentiation. The inhibition of these enzymes can play a role in the modulation of multiple signaling pathways in which tyrosine phosphorylation dephosphorylation plays a role. PTP1B is a particular protein tyrosine phosphatase that is often used as a prototypical member of that class of enzymes. Kennedy et al., 1999, Science 283: 1544-1548 showed that protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-1B is a negative regulator of the insulin signaling pathway, suggesting that inhibitors of this enzyme may be beneficial in the treatment of diabetes.  
         [0003]     PTPase inhibitors are recognized as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of diabetes. See, e.g. Moeller et al., 3(5):527-40, Current Opinion in Drug Discovery and Development, 2000; or Zhang, Zhong-Yin, 5:416-23, Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2001. The utility of PTPase inhibitors as therapeutic agents has been a topic of discussion in several review articles, including, for example, Expert Opin Investig Drugs 12(2):223-33, February 2003.  
         [0004]     Inhibitors of PTP-1B have utility in controlling or treating Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, in improving glucose tolerance, and in improving insulin sensitivity in patients in need thereof.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

 wherein X is an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, or is an unsubstituted or substituted 5 or 6 membered heteroaromatic ring. The compounds of the present invention are potent inhibitors of PTP1B.

The daily dosage may be administered as single dose or in divided doses, and in addition, the upper limit can also be exceeded when this is found to be indicated.  
         [0038]     The methods for preparing the compounds of this invention are described in the following schemes. In all schemes and examples herein it is understood that all carbon and heteroatoms, whether structurally depicted by letter or bond line drawing, are accompanied by the appropriate number of hydrogen atoms to complete the valence as appropriate.

         [0040]     Compound II: A mixture of 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzonitrile I (5.24 g, 26.2 mmol) and guanidine carbonate (9.45 g, 52.5 mmol) in N,N-Dimethylacetamide (150 mL) were heated under nitrogen at 150-160° C. for 24 hours. The resultant reaction mixture was cooled, concentrated in vacuo, to get yellow solid. Water (150 mL) was added to the yellow solid followed by aqueous ammonium hydroxide (5 mL) till pH was 8-9. This resulted into very fine yellow solid which was washed with water followed by ether and then n-pentane to give 7-bromo-quinazoline-2,4-diamine II (6.18 g, 98.7%) as a pale yellow solid.  1 H NMR (DMSO-d 6,  400 MHz) δ 7.89 (d, J=8.79 Hz, 1H), 7.38 (broad s, 2H), 7.33 (d, J=1.95 Hz, 1H), 7.13(dd, J 1 =1.95 Hz, J 2 =8.79 Hz, 1H), 6.18 (broad s, 2H).  
         [0041]     Scheme 2 below provides a general synthesis step, and the examples provide a detailed description of the schematic methods:  
                         
 
         [0042]     Compound III: The coupling reaction can be carried out by a conventional aryl coupling method, e.g., Suzuki coupling method: (a) Suzuki et al.,  synth.commun.  1981, 11, 513, (b) Suzuki  pure and Appl.

Alternatively, coupling reaction can be carried out by a conventional aryl or heteroaromatic coupling partner utilizing Stille coupling. e.g. Stille et al.,  Angew. Chem. Int Ed. Engl.,  1986, 25, 508.  
         [0044]     Typical conditions used to carry out the Stille reaction include the use of an organostannane as the coupling partner, palladium catalyst (2-20 mole %) such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (0) or [1,1′bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene]dichloro-palladium (II), a salt such as potassium fluoride or lithium chloride, in a suitable anhydrous solvent such as THF or DMF or ethylene glycol for at temperatures ranging from 25° C. to 125° C. for 2-18 hr yields compound III.  
         [0045]     Compound IV: The compound III is then further alkylated at to −50° C. to room temperature with suitable base such as sodium hydride and variety of halides (e.g., R 1 Br ,  R 2 Br ,  R 3 Br or R 1 I ,  R 2 I ,  R 3 I, where R 1,  R 2,  R 3  are defined above) yields mono-, di- or tri substituted compounds IV. The control of alkylation can be controlled by selecting the appropriate equivalence of the halide used.

         [0049]     A solution of either 6N Hydrochloric acid or 1.5  M  KH 2 PO 4  that had been adjusted to pH 6 with 85% phosphoric acid is added to N′-(7-Bromo-4-chloro-quinazolin-2-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-formamidine VI, till the pH of the solution was ˜3, and the resultant reaction mixture is stirred for 24 h to 48 h at room temperature till hydrolysis of N′-(7-Bromo-4-chloro-quinazolin-2-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-formamidine VI to the N-(7-Bromo-4-chloro-quinazolin-2-yl)-formamide VII.

         [0141]     A 2-L 3-neck round bottom flask equipped as above was charged with 2-Amino-7-bromo-quinazolin-4-ol V (72 g, 300 mmol), prepared as described in scheme 3, chloromethylene-dimethyliminium chloride (117.6 g, 900 mmol) and, dry CHCl 3  (900 mL), and refluxed for 25 h. The dark orange mixture was concentrated in vacuo to dryness, then added 1.5  M  KH 2 PO 4  (600 mL) that had been adjusted to pH 6 with 85% phosphoric acid. After addition, the pH of the solution was ˜3, and it was stirred for 2 h at RT. TLC analysis of the mixture still showed considerable intermediate, so the mixture was warmed to 60° C. for 2 h, and then allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The mixture was brought to pH 6 with a saturated aqueous NaHCO 3  solution and the solids were collected by filtration, and then rinsed with water. The damp solid was combined with THF (400 mL) and 40% methylamine (200 mL) in water, and stirred at Room temperature for 1 h. Initially, the solids mostly went into solution, and then the reaction rapidly thickened. The resultant reaction was warmed the mixture to 60° C. for 2 h. The reaction was then concentrated in vacuo to a dry slurry, and collected the solids by filtration. The solids were boiled with 600 mL of acetone/methanol mixture and the solids were collected by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to dryness. The residue (˜70 g) was dissolved in THF and added 87 g of Silica Gel 60 (230-400 mesh), then concentrated in vacuo to dryness. The residue was slurried with CH 2 Cl 2  and applied to the top of a column of 517 g of Silica Gel 60 (230-400 mesh) packed in CH 2 Cl 2 . The column was eluted with methylene chloride followed by 10%, 20%, 25%, 40% methylene chloride in THF containing 1% triethylamine affording 7-bromo-N4-methyl-quinazoline-2,4-diamine XIII (35.44 g, 46.7%) as an white solid.  1 H NMR (DMSO-d 6,  400 MHz) δ 7.99 (broad q, J=3.91 Hz, 1 H), 7.84 (d, J=8.79 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (d, J=1.96 Hz, 1H), 7.15(dd, J 1 =1.96 Hz, J 2 =8.79 Hz, 1H), 6.30 (broad s, 2H), 2.92 (d, J=4.88 Hz, 3H).  
         [0142]     A mixture of 7-bromo-N4-methyl-quinazoline-2,4-diamine XIII (0.300 g, 1.186 mmol), ethanol (20 mL), ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (20 mL), tetrakis(triphenylphoshpine)palladium(0) (0.293 g, 0.254 mmol), aq. sat. sodium carbonate solution (3 mL) and 2-Ethoxy-phenyl boronic acid (0.3937 g, 2.372 mmol) was heated at reflux for 2 hours. The resultant reaction mixture was then cooled, diluted with water, extracted 90:10:1 methylene chloride:methanol:ammonium hydroxide (3×200 mL). The combined Organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, added silica gel (5 gm), and concentrated. Flash column chromatography on silica gel packed with 95:5:0.5 methylene chloride:methanol:ammonium hydroxide and eluted with same to yield N4-methyl-7-o-tolyl-quinazoline-2,4-diamine (0.100 g, 28.7%) as an off white foam.

         [0431]     PTP1B (0.5-2nM ) was incubated with compound for 15 min in buffer containing 37.5 mM Bis-Tris buffer pH 6.2, 140mMNaCl,0.05% BSA and 2mM DTT. The reaction was started by the addition of 50 μM substrate. After 20 min at room temperature (22-25° C.), the reaction was stopped with KOH and the amount of free phosphate measured using Malachite Green as previously described (Harder et al. 1994 Biochem J. 298; 395).  
         [0432]     The second method was used for the measurement of general PTPase inhibitory activity across a panel of PTPases the substrate (6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (DiFMUP; from Molecular Probes) was used at the Km for each enzyme. The buffer conditions were identical as in the Malachite Green assay. The reaction was stopped with KOH. In this case the dephosphoryated product becomes fluorescent and the fluorescense read (Excitiation:360 mM/Emmission: 460 nM).  
         [0433]     For kinetic experiments, the same buffer conditions were used except that the reaction was started using enzyme and the reaction stopped after 10 minutes.  
         [0434]     The IC50 values (in μM) for the PTP1B inhibitory activity of the compounds in the present application are in the range of 1.09 μM to 91.79 μM. The most preferred compounds show an IC50 of &lt;30.0 μM.

       [0000]     Glucose Uptake Assay  
         [0435]     The day before the assay the SKMC media was changed to high glucose DMEM, 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.0 and 2% Charcoal/dextran treated FBS for 19 hours.  
         [0436]     On the morning of the assay, cells were starved for max. 2 hours in low glucose (5.5 mM glucose) DMEM, 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.0 and 0.5% BSA. The starvation medium was removed and replaced with test medium (150 mMNaCl, 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.0) containing either 1% DMSO, or test compound diluted in DMSO or Porcine Insulin to a final concentrations of 1, 0.1, 0.05, 0.01 and 0.01 μM. Each assay point was performed in triplicate. The cells were incubated for 45 min at 37° C. 10 μM Cytochalasin B (CB) was added to appropriate wells to stop the active glucose transport (i.e., GLUT 1 &amp; 4 ). At this point 2-Deoxy-D(U- 14 C)glucose (Amersham, Code CFB195, 200 uCi/ml) was added to all wells to a final concentration of 0.8 μCi/ml. The cells were incubated for an additional 45 minutes at 37° C. in an incubator. Cells were then very gently washed for three times in PBS (RT). The cells were then lysed with the addition of 0.05% NaOH solution for 20 min at RT. The lysate was transferred to a scintillation vial containing 5 ml of scintillation fluid and counted in a Beckman LS6500 Scintillation counter. Analysis of results: The counts obtained with CB (passive glucose transport values) were subtracted from every value obtained with PI (or compounds) in order to evaluate only active glucose transport. Fold increase was calculated by dividing values in the presence of PI (or compounds) by the value obtained in the presence of DMSO (control). Compounds were considered to be active when they increase glucose uptake at least 25% of the Porcine Insulin response at 0.05 μM.  
         [0437]     In vivo inhibition of PTP1B: Effects of compounds on blood glucose levels in mouse model  
         [0438]     To measure the anti-diabetic effect compounds were tested in well established rodent in vivo models of type 2 diabetes and obesity.  
       Example 152  
       [0000]     Mouse Models:  
         [0439]     Diet Induced Obese (DIO) Mouse Model: A majority of male C57BL/6J mice fed a diet consisting of 35.5% fat for 3 months develop obesity, hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. DIO mice are probably a better model for human type-2 diabetes than are genetic mutations with multiple neuroendocrine abnormalities. Furthermore, the DIO mice probably develop type-2 diabetes in a manner similar to most cases of type-2 diabetes in humans, e.g. only those predisposed individuals who become obese after access to a diabetogenic diet.  
         [0440]     B6.C-m Lep db /++/J: Mice homozygous for the diabetes spontaneous mutation (Lepr db ) become identifiably obese around 3 to 4 weeks of age. Elevations of plasma insulin begin at 10 to 14 days and of blood sugar at 4 to 8 weeks. Homozygous mutant mice are polyphagic, polydipsic, and polyuric. The course of the disease is markedly influenced by genetic background. A number of features are observed on the C57BLKS background, including an uncontrolled rise in blood sugar, severe depletion of the insulin-producing beta-cells of the pancreatic islets, and death by 10 months of age. Exogenous insulin fails to control blood glucose levels and gluconeogenic enzyme activity increases. Peripheral neuropathy and myocardial disease are seen in C57BLKS Lepr db  homozygotes.  
         [0441]     B6.V-Lep ob /J: Mice homozygous for the obese spontaneous mutation, (Lep ob  commonly referred to as ob or ob/ob), are first recognizable at about 4 weeks of age. Homozygous mutant mice increase in weight rapidly and may reach three times the normal weight of wildtype controls. In addition to obesity, mutant mice exhibit hyperphagia, a diabetes-like syndrome of hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, elevated plasma insulin, subfertility, impaired wound healing, and an increase in hormone production from both pituitary and adrenal glands. They are also hypometabolic and hypothermic. The obesity is characterized by an increase in both number and size of adipocytes. Although hyperphagia contributes to the obesity, homozygotes gain excess weight and deposit excess fat even when restricted to a diet sufficient for normal weight maintenance in lean mice. Hyperinsulinemia does not develop until after the increase body weight and is probably the result of it. Homozygotes do have an abnormally low threshold for stimulation of pancreatic islet insulin secretion even in very young preobese animals. Female homozygotes exhibit decreased uterine and ovarian weights, decreased ovarian hormone production and hypercytolipidemia in follicular granulosa and endometrial epithelial tissue layers (Garris et al., 2004).  
         [0000]     Mouse Criteria:  
         [0442]     DIO Mouse Model: Mice used in these studies were at least 18 weeks of age and maintained on a high fat diet (BioServ F3282) for at least 12 weeks, The mice were weighed on the day prior to the study and sorted into treatment groups. Because of the variability in body weights, the DIO mice having the most extreme (i.e. highest or lowest) body weights were excluded.  
         [0443]     B6.C-m Lep db /++/J: Mice used in these studies were at least 9 weeks of age and maintained on Purina Lab Diet 5008 starting at 6 weeks of age. Two to three days prior to the study blood glucose levels of the mice were determined following a two hour fast. The mice were sorted into treatment groups. Because of the variability in blood glucose levels, the mice having the most extreme (i.e. highest or lowest) blood glucose levels were excluded. We tried to achieve an average blood glucose level between 160-190 mg/dl.  
         [0444]     B6.V-Lep ob /J: Mice used in these studies were at least 7 weeks of age and maintained on Purina Lab Diet 5001. Two to three days prior to the study blood glucose levels of the mice were determined following a two hour fast. The mice were sorted into treatment groups. Because of the variability in blood glucose levels, the mice having the most extreme (i.e. highest or lowest) blood glucose levels were excluded. In some instances mice were sorted based on body weights, the ob/ob mice having the most extreme (i.e. highest or lowest) body weights were excluded.  
         [0000]     Experimental Parameters:  
         [0445]     Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Mice were placed into individual cages and fasted for 15 hours. After 15 hours the mice were treated orally by gavage with vehicle or compound using a dose volume of 5 ml/kg. An oral glucose challenge (1-2 g/kg) was administered four hours following treatment. Blood was collected from the tail vein into a 20 ul heparinized microhematocrit tube immediately prior to dosing with vehicle or compound, immediately prior to the OGTT and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and sometimes up to 4 hours following the OGTT. The blood was transferred immediately to a microfuge tube. Blood glucose was measured with the YSI 2700 Select Glucose Analyzer. In some instances mice were fasted for only 2 hours prior to dosing with vehicle or compound and the OGTT was administered 4 hours post dose.  
         [0446]     Acute Efficacy Study: Mice were placed into individual cages and fasted for 2 hours. After 2 hours the mice were treated orally by gavage with vehicle or compound using a dose volume of 5 ml/kg. Blood was collected from the tail vein into a 20 ul heparinized microhematocrit tube immediately prior to dosing with vehicle or compound and 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours following treatment. The blood was transferred immediately to a microfuge tube. Blood glucose was measured with the YSI 2700 Select Glucose Analyzer  
         [0447]     Mice that have type 2 diabetes were generated by maintaining them on a high fat diet for 4-6 months (Diabetes vol. 37 September 1988). Male C57BU6J mice (age 3-4 weeks) were placed on high fat diet for 4-6 months. At this time they were hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic and weighed 40-50 g. DIO mice (n=10) were weighed and fasted for a two hour period prior to oral treatment. Immediately prior to dosing a pre-dose blood glucose reading was taken by snipping off a portion of the tail and collecting blood from the tail vein. Mice were treated either with a single dose of compound (acute) or once a day for 5 days (sub-chronic). For the acute studies, glucose was generally measured at 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h post treatment. Compounds were considered active if the compounds monstrated AUC (Area under the curve) showed a statistically significant (p≦0.05) glucose lowering (&gt;15%) compared to the vehicle treated animals.  
         [0448]     For sub-chronic (5 day) studies mice were dosed once a day by gavage as described above. On day five, glucose was measured prior to dosing (0 time) and 2 hours after dosing. Insulin and triglycerides were measured at 2 hour post dose. Compounds were considered active if the compounds demonstrated AUC (Area under the curve) showed a statistically significant (p≦0.05) glucose, insulin and triglyceride lowering compared to the vehicle treated animals.
