    Description


    [0001] The present invention relates to protein kinase inhibitors, in particular receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and their use for the treatment of diseases involving a protein kinase such as hyperproliferative disorders e.g. cancer.

    Background Art



    [0002] US2003 / 0199525 discloses certain pyrazolo-pyrimidines and their use as kinase inhibitors; US 2003 / 0018032 discloses certain imidazo-3yl-amines and their use as analgetics.

    [0003] Protein kinases, in particular receptor protein tyrosine kinases (RTK), are key regulators of intercellular communication that controls cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, survival and metabolism. About 20 different RTK families have been identified that share a similar structure, namely an extracellular binding site for ligands, a transmembrane region and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Extracellular ligand binding induces or stabilizes receptor dimerization leading to increased RTK kinase activity. The intracellular catalytic domain displays the highest level of conservation among RTKs and includes the ATP-binding site that catalyzes protein phosphorylation of e.g. cytoplasmic tyrosine residues, which serve as docking sites for Src homology 2 (SH2)-and phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain-containing proteins such as Grb2, Shc, Src, Cbl or phospholipase C γ. These proteins subsequently recruit additional effectors containing SH2, SH3, PTB and pleckstrin-homology (PH) domains to the activated receptor, which results in the assembly of signaling complexes at the membrane and the activation of a cascade of intracellular biochemical signals. The most important downstream signaling cascades activated by RTKs include the Ras-extracellular regulated kinase (ERK)-mitogen activated (MAP) kinase pathway, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)-Akt and the JAK/STAT pathway. The complex signaling network triggered by RTKs eventually leads either to activation or repression of various subsets of genes and thus defines the biological response to a given signal.

    [0004] The activity of RTKs and their mediated cellular signaling is precisely coordinated and tightly controlled in normal cells. Deregulation of the RTK signaling system, either by stimulation through growth factor and/or through genetic alteration, result in deregulated tyrosine kinase activity. These aberrations generally result in RTKs with constitutive or strongly enhanced kinase activity and subsequent signaling capacity, which leads to malignant transformation. Therefore, they are frequently linked to human cancer and also to other hyperproliferative diseases such as psoriasis. The most important mechanisms leading to constitutive RTK signaling include overexpression and/or gene amplification of RTKs, genetic alterations such as deletions and mutations within the extracellular domain as well as alterations of the catalytic site, or autocrine-paracrine stimulation through aberrant growth factor loops.

    [0005] For example, in many human cancers, gene amplification and/or overexpression of RTKs occurs, which might increase the response of cancer cells to normal growth factor levels. Additionally, overexpression of a specific RTK on the cell surface increases the incidence of receptor dimerization even in the absence of an activating ligand. In many cases this results in constitutive activation of the RTK leading to aberrant and uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor formation. An important example for such a scenario is HER2, also known as ErbB2, that belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family of RTKs. Overexpression of HER2 was found in various types of human cancers, especially in human breast and ovarian carcinomas. Most importantly, aberrantly elevated levels of HER2 correlate with more aggressive progression of disease and reduced patient survival time. EGFR, which was the first receptor tyrosine kinase to be molecularly cloned, also plays a fundamental role in tumorigenesis. EGFR is frequently overexpressed in non-small-cell lung, bladder, cervical, ovarian, kidney and pancreatic cancer and in squamous-cell carcinomas of the head and neck. The predominant mechanism leading to EGFR overexpression is gene amplification with up to 60 copies per cell reported in certain tumors. In general, elevated levels of EGFR expression are associated with high metastatic rate and increased tumor proliferation.

    [0006] Since protein kinases, in particular tyrosine kinases, have been implicated in a variety of cancer indications, RTKs and the activated signaling cascades represent promising areas for the development of target-selective anticancer drugs. One approach to inhibit aberrant RTK signaling is the development of small-molecule drugs that selectively interfere with their intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity and thereby block receptor autophosphorylation and activation of downstream signal transducers.

A prodrug may be used to alter or improve the physical and/or pharmacokinetic profile of the parent compound and can be formed when the parent compound contains a suitable group or substituent which can be derivatised to form a prodrug. Examples of prodrugs include in-vivo hydrolysable esters of a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof.

    [0063] 7 (50 mg, 0.14 mmol) were refluxed in a mixture of glacial acetic acid (0.5 mL) and aqueous hydrobromic acid (5 mL) for 20 hours. After cooling to rt, it was extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 100 mL). The combined organic layers were was washed with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and water, then dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. 32 was obtained as a slight yellow solid.

    EXAMPLE 7: Assay for EPHB4 kinase activity


    Kinase assay protocol



    [0066] The kinase inhibition activity of the compounds was measured in an in vitro kinase assay.

    [0067] Briefly, in a final reaction volume of 25 µL, human EphB4 (N-terminal His6-tagged, recombinant, amino acids 561-end, expressed by baculovirus in Sf21 insect cells; 5-10 mU) was incubated with 8 mM MOPS pH 7.0, 0.2 mM EDTA, 10 mM MnCl2, 0.1 mg/mL poly(Glu, Tyr) 4:1, 10 mM MgAcetate and [γ-33P-ATP] (specific activity approx. 500 cpm/pmol, concentration as required). The reaction was initiated by the addition of the MgATP mix. After incubation for 40 min at rt, the reaction was stopped by the addition of 5 µL of a 3% phosphoric acid solution. 10 µL of the reaction was then spotted onto a Filtermat A and washed three times for 5 min in 75 mM phosphoric acid and once in methanol prior to drying and scintillation counting.

    EXAMPLE 8: Test results



    [0068] All compounds described in Example 1 to 6 were tested in the assay for EPHB4 activity described in Example 7 and found to exhibit an IC50 of 6 µM or less. Certain compounds disclosed in Example 1 to 6 exhibited an IC50 of 500 nM or less in this assay. A subset of those compounds even exhibited an IC50 of 150 nM or less.

    [0069] While certain embodiments have been shown and described, numerous modifications and substitutions may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, present invention has been described by way of examples and they have to be understood in an illustrative sense only and are not to be interpreted as limiting this invention in any manner.
