TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present invention relates to bicyclic heteroaromatic
compounds which inhibit the epidermal growth factor receptor and
related receptors and, in particular, their tyrosine kinase enzymic
activity.
BACKGROUND ART
[0003] Cancer is generally a disease of the intracellular
signalling system, or signal transduction mechanism. Cells receive
instructions from many extracellular sources, instructing them to
either proliferate or not to proliferate. The purpose of the signal
transduction system is to receive these and other signals at the
cell surface, get them into the cell, and then pass the signals on
to the nucleus, the cytoskeleton, and transport and protein
synthesis machinery. The most common cause of cancer is a series of
defects, either in these proteins, when they are mutated, or in the
regulation of the quantity of the protein in the cell such that it
is over or under produced. Most often, there are key lesions in the
cell which lead to a constitutive state whereby the cell nucleus
receives a signal to proliferate, when this signal is not actually
present. This can occur through a variety of mechanisms. Sometimes
the cell may start to produce an authentic growth factor for its
own receptors when it should not, the so-called autocrine loop
mechanism. Mutations to the cell surface receptors, which usually
signal into the cell by means of tyrosine kinases, can lead to
activation of the kinase in the absence of ligand, and passing of a
signal which is not really there. Alternatively, many surface
kinases can be overexpressed on the cell surface leading to an
inappropriately strong response to a weak signal. There are many
levels inside the cell at which mutation or overexpression can lead
to the same spurious signal arising in the cell, and there are many
other kinds of signalling defect involved in cancer. This invention
touches upon cancers which are driven by the three mechanisms just
described, and which involve cell surface receptors of the
epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase family (EGFR).
This family consists of the EGF receptor (also known as Erb-B1),
the Erb-B2 receptor, and its constituitively active oncoprotein
mutant Neu, the Erb-B3 receptor and the Erb-B4 receptor.
Additionally, other biological processes driven through members of
the EGF family of receptors can also be treated by compounds of the
invention described below.
[0004] The EGFR has as its two most important ligands Epidermal
Growth Factor (EGF) and Transforming Growth Factor alpha
(TGFalpha). The receptors appear to have only minor functions in
adult humans, but are apparently implicated in the disease process
of a large portion of all cancers, especially colon and breast
cancer. The closely related Erb-B2 Erb-B3 and Erb-B4 receptors have
a family of Heregulins as their major ligands, and receptor
overexpression and mutation have been unequivocally demonstrated as
the major risk factor in poor prognosis breast cancer.
Additionally, it has been demonstrated that all four of the members
of this family of receptors can form heterodimeric signalling
complexes with other members of the family, and that this can lead
to synergistic transforming capacity if more than one member of the
family is overexpressed in a malignancy. Overexpression of more
than one family member has been shown to be relatively common in
human malignancies.
[0005] The proliferative skin disease psoriasis has no good cure at
present. It is often treated by anticancer agents such as
methotrexate, which have very serious side effects, and which are
not very effective at the toxicity-limited doses which have to be
used. It is believed that TGFalpha is the major growth factor
overproduced in psoriasis, since 50% of transgenic mice which
overexpress TGF alpha develop psoriasis. This suggests that a good
inhibitor of EGFR signalling could be used as an antipsoriatic
agent, preferably, but not necessarily, by topical dosing.
[0006] EGF is a potent mitogen for renal tubule cells. Fourfold
increases in both EGF urinary secretion and EGF mRNA have been
noted in mice with early stage streptozoicin-induced diabetes. In
addition increased expression of the EGFR has been noted in
patients with proliferative glomerulonephritis (Roychaudhury et al.
Pathology 1993, 25, 327). The compounds of the current invention
should be useful in treating both proliferative glomerulonephritis
and diabetes-induced renal disease.
[0007] Chronic pancreatitis in patients has been reported to
correlate with large increases in expression for both EGFR and TGF
alpha. (Korc et al. Gut 1994, 35, 1468). In patients showing a more
severe form of the disease, typified by an enlargement of the head
of the pancreas, there was also shown to be overexpression of the
erb-B2 receptor (Friess et al. Ann. Surg. 1994, 220, 183). The
compounds of the current invention should prove useful in the
treatment of pancreatitis.
[0008] In the processes of blastocyte maturation, blastocyte
implantation into the uterine endometrium, and other
periimplantation events, uterine tissues produce EGF and TGF alpha
(Taga Nippon Sanka Fujinka Gakkai Zasshi 1992, 44, 939), have
elevated levels of EGFR (Brown et al. Endocrinology, 1989, 124,
2882), and may well be induced to produce heparin-binding EGF by
the proximity of the developing, but not arrested, blastocyte (Das
et al. Development 1994, 120, 1071). In turn the blastocyte has
quite a high level of TGF alpha and EGFR expression (Adamson Mol.
Reprod. Dev. 1990, 27, 16). Surgical removal of the submandibular
glands, the major site of EGF secretion in the body, and treatment
with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies both greatly reduce fertility
in mice (Tsutsumi et al. J. Endocrinology 1993, 138, 437), by
reducing successful blastocyte implantation. Therefore, compounds
of the current invention should prove to have useful contraceptive
properties.
[0009] PCT patent application Nos. W092/07844 published May 14,
1992 and WO92/14716 published September 3, 1992 describe
2,4-diaminoquinazoline as potentiators of chemotherapeutic agents
in the treatment of cancer.
[0010] PCT published application No. WO92/20642 published Nov. 26,
1992 discloses bismono- and bicyclic aryl and heteroaryl compounds
which inhibit EGF and/or PDGF receptor tyrosine kinase.
[0011] It is an object of the present invention to inhibit the
mitogenic effects of epidermal growth factor utilizing an effective
amount of bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused
heterocyclic pyrimidine derivatives.
[0012] It is another object of the present invention to describe
bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused heterocyclic
pyrimidine derivatives, as inhibitors of the EGF, Erb-B2 and Erb-B4
receptor tyrosine kinases.
[0013] It is yet another object of the present invention to
describe bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused
heterocyclic pyrimidine derivatives, that are useful at low dosages
as inhibitors of EGF-induced mitogenesis. This therefore leads to a
further object of compounds having extremely low cytotoxicity.
[0014] It is a further object of the present invention to describe
bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused heterocyclic
pyrimidine derivatives, that are useful in suppressing tumors,
especially breast cancers, where mitogenesis is heavily driven by
EGFR family members.
[0015] It is another object of the present invention to describe
bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused heterocyclic
pyrimidine derivatives, that have utility as chronic therapy as
inhibitors of EGF-induced responses.
[0016] It is another object of the current invention to describe
bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused heterocyclic
pyrimidine derivatives, that have utility as therapeutic agents
against proliferative overgrowth diseases, including but not
limited to, synovial pannus invasion in arthritis, vascular
restenosis, psoriasis and angiogenesis. The compounds disclosed
herein also are useful to treat pancreatitis and kidney disease and
as a contraceptive agent.

Preparative Routes to Compounds of the Invention
[0111] Scheme 1
[0112] Route for Preferred Groups 1-5, R.sup.4=H
[0113] Displacement of the 2-chloro of 2,6-dichloro-3-nitropyridine
is carried out by cuprous cyanide in NMP. Displacement of the
second chlorine of this nitrile by fluoride at this step can be
advantageous. This is followed by a mild reduction of the nitro
group, under conditions where the halogen is not hydrogenolysed.
Hydrolysis of the nitrile followed by orthoformate cyclization, and
Vilsmeier-type chlorination will give the dihalopyridopyrimidine.
Displacement of the more reactive 4-chlorine with an appropriate
amine is followed by displacement of the 6-halogen with the
appropriate nucleophile, ammonia, lower alkylamine, hydrazine,
methoxide, to form the final products. (NMP is a solvent,
N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone).
[0114] 1. A preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in
which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 H, with the other one lower alkoxy or halogen.
[0115] 2. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 H, with the other one amino.
[0116] 3. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 H, with the other one lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0117] 4. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 H, with the other one hydrazino.
[0118] 5. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 H, with the other one lower alkyl.
[0119] Scheme 2
[0120] Route to Preferred Groups 1-5, R.sup.3=H
[0121] Displacement of chlorine from 2-chloro-3,5-dinitropyridine
is accomplished with CUCN in NMP. Reduction of the nitro groups to
amines is followed by hydrolysis of the nitrile to an amide. This
is cyclized to the pyrimidone with orthoformate, which is converted
to the chloride by POCl.sub.3 or possibly turned into the
thiomethyl derivative by treatment with phosphorus pentasulfide
followed by MeI and a mild base. Displacement with the appropriate
amine gives the desired 7-amino compound. The amine functionality
can be reductively alkylated or activated by diazotisation of the
amino group under acidic or basic conditions, followed by a
reduction to the hydrazide, or conversion into a lower alkyl ether,
or to a halogen followed by a cuprate or Stille coupling by methods
familiar to those skilled in the art. Alternatively, the amine can
be reductively aminated, or acylated and reduced to form the
alkylamino side chain.
[0122] Scheme 3
[0123] Route to Preferred Groups 6 and 8-10 where R.sup.4=RO
[0124] The known metalation of 2,6-difluoropyridine is exploited
twice. LDA treatment followed by a borate/hydrogen peroxide
introduces the 3-hydroxy substituent. If the pyridine undergoes the
2nd metalation at the 4 position, the alcohol can be protected as a
TIPS (triisopropyl silyl) ether, which will force the second
metalation to the 5-position. Alternative nitrations may be used,
such as converting the lithium intermediate to a stannane and
treatment with tetranitromethane, or the use of NO.sub.2BF.sub.4
(nitronium tetrafluoroborate). The C.sub.1 displacement may be
effected by cuprous cyanide or other sources of cyanide ion. After
nitrile hydrolysis and nitro group reduction, ethyl orthoformate
may be used instead of formamide for the cyclization, and it may be
that some cyclizations will require displacement of F by MeS prior
to the reaction. The 4-position is activated by chlorination, and
the sidechain amine is then introduced. The final displacement can
be by alkoxide or amine nucleophiles to generate the various
dialkoxy and amino-alkoxy species, and the appropriate use of R can
allow the 7-hydroxyl group to be unmasked at the end of the
synthesis. (LDA means lithium diisopropyl amide).
[0125] 6. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R.sup.3 and
R.sup.4 lower alkoxy.
[0126] 8. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen, and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 amino, with the other one lower alkoxy.
[0127] 9. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen, and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 lower mono or dialkylamino, with the other one lower
alkoxy.
[0128] 10. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R.sup.3 lower
mono or dialkylamino, with R.sup.4 hydroxy.
[0129] Scheme 4--Route to Preferred Group 7
[0130] Use of the 6-alkylquinaldic acid followed by ionic
bromination under forcing conditions gives an anhydride, which is
opened with ammonia, recyclized to the imide, and then the Hoffman
degradation occurs at the less active carbonyl. Cyclization and
ring side chain addition in the normal manner is followed by a
Stille coupling to introduce the R.sup.4 alkyl group. At this step
alkenyl or aryl substituents could also be introduced using this
coupling technology.
[0131] 7. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R.sup.3 and
R.sup.4 lower alkyl.
[0132] Scheme 5--Route to Preferred Groups 8, 9, R.sup.3=OR
[0133] Dinitration of 2,6-dihydroxypyridine is followed by
conversion to the very reactive dichlorocompound. The
dinitrodichloropyridine is singly displaced by cuprous cyanide in
NMP, and then the compound is reduced under mild conditions to the
diamine. The nitrile is hydrolysed to the amide, which can then be
cyclized to the pyridopyrimidone, which is 4-chlorinated in the
usual fashion. Displacement of the more reactive chlorine with the
4-sidechain is followed by displacement of the 6-chlorine with
alkoxid. For group 9, the amine should be alkylated appropriately
by methods familiar to one skilled in the art.
[0134] Scheme 6--Route to Preferred Group 11
[0135] Compounds of preferred group 11 are specialized cases of
preferred groups 6, 8, 9 and 10, where R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are
cyclized together. They can be made using the same routes as those
described for the preferred groups, with minor modifications, which
will be obvious to one skilled in the art. For example vicinally
substituted alkoxy amino compounds can be dealkylated, and the
corresponding vicinal aminoalcohols can be bisalkylated with an
appropriate dihaloalkane.
[0136] 11. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen, and R.sup.3 and
R.sup.4 taken together are dioxymethylene, dioxyethylene, 2,3-fused
piperazine, 2,3-fused morpholine or 2,3-fused thiomorpholine.
[0137] Scheme 7--Route for Preferred Groups 12-16
[0138] 2,4-Diamino-5-cyanopyridine can be cyclized directly to many
4-benzylaminopyridopyrimidine derivatives by treatment with the
benzylamine and formic acid at high temperature. For less
nucleophilic amines 2,4-diamino-5-cyanopyridine is converted via
ethyl orthoformate/acetic anhydride treatment, followed by
cyclization with hydrosulfide ion in anhydrous conditions, to give
7-amino-4-thiono-3H-pyr- ido[4,3-d]pyrimidine. S-Alkylation and
displacement with an appropriate amine gives the desired product.
If R.sup.4 is not amino, the amine can be acylated, or reductively
alkylated. Alternatively 2,4-diamino-5-cyanopyridine can be
hydrolysed to the corresponding amide, and this species can be
cyclized to 7-amino-4-oxo-3H-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimid- ine with
orthoformate. Diazotization of the 7-amine and replacement with
fluorine allows for introduction of other amine and alkoxide
nucleophiles at the end of the synthesis after the C4 substituent
has been introduced in the usual manner. Diazotization and
replacement of the amine with bromide allows for Stille couplings
at the 7-position.
[0139] 12. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, D & E carbon, with B nitrogen and R.sup.4 lower
alkoxy or halogen.
[0140] 13. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, D & E carbon, with B nitrogen and R.sup.4
amino.
[0141] 14. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, D & E carbon, with B nitrogen and R.sup.4 lower
mono or dialkylamino.
[0142] 15. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, D & E carbon, with B nitrogen and R.sup.4
hydrazino.
[0143] 16. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, C & E carbon, with B nitrogen and R.sup.4 lower
alkyl.
[0144] Scheme 8--Route for Preferred Groups 17-21
[0145] 2-Chloro-5-nitropyridine is converted to the corresponding
2-fluorocompound by KF in DMSO. Reduction of the nitro group
followed by treatment with Boc anhydride gives the Bocamino
derivative, which can be metalated and carboxylated at the
4-position. Removal of the Boc with TFA and cyclization of the
pyrimidone ring with formamide gives
6-fluoro-4-oxo-3H-pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine. This is 4-chlorinated in
the usual manner and the 4-sidechain is introduced via displacement
with an appropriate amine. Displacement of the 6-fluorine with
appropriate nucleophiles leads to various different final products.
If the fluorine is displaced by thiomethoxide, that in turn can be
displaced by alkyl groups in Ni-catalyzed Grignard
displacements.
[0146] 17. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, B & E carbon, with D nitrogen and R.sup.3 lower
alkoxy or halogen.
[0147] 18. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, B & E carbon, with D nitrogen and R.sup.3
amino.
[0148] 19. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, B & E carbon, with D nitrogen and R.sup.3 lower
mono or dialkylamino.
[0149] 20. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, B & E carbon, with D nitrogen and R.sup.3
hydrazino.
[0150] 21. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, B & E carbon, with D nitrogen and R.sup.3 lower
alkyl.
[0151] Scheme 9--Route to Preferred Groups 22-26, R.sup.4=H
[0152] Nitration of 2-methoxynicotinic acid is followed by
displacement of the activated methoxy group and cyclization of the
pyrimidone ring, possibly all in one step with formamidine, or
alternatively in two steps with ammonia followed by cyclization
with a formamide equivalent. The carbonyl is converted to the
chloride and displaced with the sidechain in the usual fashion, and
the nitro group is then selectively reduced to amino. This can be
alkylated, acylated or diazotized. The diazo compound can be
converted to hydroxy or to the bromide or iodide, and these latter
can undergo a Stille coupling to introduce lower alkyl, alkenyl,
aryl, etc. at R.sup.3.
[0153] 22. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 H, with the other one lower alkoxy.
[0154] 23. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 H, with the other one amino.
[0155] 24. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or

[0156] 25. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 H, with the other one hydrazino.
[0157] 26. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R.sup.3 or
R.sup.4 H, with the other one lower alkyl.
[0158] Scheme 10--Route to Preferred Groups 22-26, R.sup.3=H
[0159] This route uses the known metalation and carboxylation of
2,6-difluoropyridine, followed by displacement of the 2-fluoro
substituent. Cyclization of the pyrimidone ring with formamide,
followed by conversion of the carbonyl into chloride in a normal
manner gives a chlorofluoropyridopyrimidine. The ar(alk)ylamino
sidechain is introduced by displacement of the more reactive
pyrimidine chlorine, and the R.sup.4 substituent is then introduced
by fluoride displacement. The introduction of alkyl utilizes
displacement of by alkoxide, later ether cleavage to the pyridone,
O-triflation and Stille coupling.
[0160] Scheme 11
[0161] Route to Preferred Groups 27 and 29-31, R.sup.3=RO
[0162] This scheme relies on the metalation of 2,6-difluoropyridine
similarly to scheme 10. The first metalation is used to introduce
oxygen, and the second to introduce the carboxylic acid. If
required to is force the second metalation to the 5-position the
oxygen may be protected as the very bulky TIPS ether, and stronger
basis than LDA may be required. Ammonia is introduced at the
2-position under high temperature and pressure, and the pyridone
ring is cyclized, and activated at the 4-position in the usual
manner and then displaced with the 4-position sidechain.
[0163] Displacement of the 7-fluoro substituent with an appropriate
nucleophile, followed by conversions as described in previous
schemes finishes the synthesis.

[0168] Scheme 12--Route to Preferred Group 28
[0169] 5-Bromo-2,6-difluoronicotinic acid is prepared from
2,6-difluoropyridine by successive lithiations using LDA. The
5-position is alkylated via a Stille coupling, and the pyrimidone
ring is cyclized on in two steps. The 4-substituent is introduced
in the usual fashion and the 7-fluoro group is displaced with
thiomethoxide. This thioether in turn is displaced by a Grignard
agent in the presence of a nickel salt catalyst. Again use of
appropriate organometallic reagents in the Stille and Grignard
couplings could lead to alkenyl, alkynyl and aryl substituents at
R.sup.3 and R.sup.4.
[0170] 28. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally

[0171] Scheme 13--Route to Preferred Groups 29 and 30,
R.sup.4=RO
[0172] Nitration of the commercially available dichloronicotinic
acid is followed by a selective displacement of the more reactive
Cl under mild conditions, followed by a more forcing displacement
of the other Cl, in the appropriate order. The resulting
6-alkoxy-2-amino-5-nitronicotinic acid is cyclized to the
pyrimidone, and the 4-carbonyl is converted to a chloride and
displaced in the usual fashion with an appropriate amine to give
the 4-amino-7-alkoxy-6-nitropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine. Reduction of
the nitro group, followed by any desired alkylation or acylation
gives the desired compounds.
[0173] Scheme 14--Route to Preferred Group 32
[0174] Compounds of group 32 are specialized cases of preferred
groups 27, 29, 30 and 31, where R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are cyclized
together. They can be made using the same routes as those described
for these preferred groups with minor modifications. For example,
vicinally substituted alkoxy amino compounds can be dealkylated,
and the corresponding vicinal amino alcohols can be bisalkylated
with an appropriate dihaloalkane. Piperazines can be made by the
route shown in Scheme 13, provided that a suitable amine
nucleophile is used to displace the 6-chloro substituent instead of
an alkoxide.
[0175] 32. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or
1, in which case R.sup.1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally
substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen, and R.sup.3 and
R.sup.4 taken together are dioxymethylene, dioxyethylene, 2,3-fused
piperazine, 2,3-fused morpholine or 2,3-fused thiomorpholine.
[0176] Scheme 15--Route to Preferred Groups 33-36
[0177] Reaction of a suitable S-alkylisothiouronium salt with
methoxymethylidine malononitrile yields a fully functionalized
pyrimide precursor. The initially formed pyrimidine can have the
SEt displaced by R.sup.4 either before or after the nitrile
hydrolysis, if displacement or oxidation prove problematic later.
Displacement of the SEt group can also be achieved without an
oxidation to activate the sulfur. Cyclization of the second
pyrimidine ring is followed by activation of the 4-carbonyl by
thiation and alkylation. Even if the 7-thio group has not been
displaced at this point, introduction of the 4-amino sidechain
occurs preferentially.

on the halogens in an order appropriate to give the desired
compound.

final products, can be introduced either at the stage shown or an
earlier stage, and then be converted to R.sup.4, by reduction and
amination for example or by Stille coupling, or other methods known

[0274] Biology
[0275] These compounds are potent and selective inhibitors of the
human EGF receptor tyrosine kinase and other members of the EGF
receptor family, including the ERB-B2, ERB-B3 and ERB-B4 receptor
kinases, and are useful for the treatment of proliferative diseases
in mammals. These inhibitors prevent mitogenesis in cells where
mitogenesis is driven by one or more of this family of receptor
kinases. This can include normal cells, where it is desired to
prevent mitogenesis, as exemplified by the cells transformed by
overexpression or mutation of this kinase family as exemplified by
poor prognosis breast cancer where overexpression of EGFR, ERB-B2
and ERB-B3 or mutation of ERB-B2 to the oncoprotein NEU is a major
factor in cellular transformation. As the preferred compounds are
not highly cytotoxic and do not show potent growth inhibitory
properties, because of their high specificity toward inhibition of
the EGFR kinase family, they should have a much cleaner toxicity
profile than most anti-cancer and anti-proliferative drugs. Their
very different mode of action to current anti-cancer drugs should
allow for their use in multiple drug therapies, where synergism
with available agents is anticipated.
[0276] Compounds of the invention have been shown to be very
potent, reversible inhibitors of the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase,
by binding with high affinity at the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
binding site of the kinase. These compounds exhibit potent
IC.sub.50s, varying from 10 micromolar to 5 picomolar, for the
tyrosine kinase activity of the enzyme, based on an assay examining
phosphorylation of a peptide derived from the phosphorylation site
of the protein PLCgammal, a known EGFR phosphorylation substrate.
This data is shown in Table 1.

[0278] Purification of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine
Kinase--Human EGF receptor tyrosine kinase was isolated from A431
human epidermoid carcinoma cells which overexpress EGF receptor by
the following methods. Cells were grown in roller bottles in 50%
Delbuco's Modified Eagle and 50% HAM F-12 nutrient media (Gibco)
containing 10% fetal calf serum. Approximately 10.sup.9 cells were
lysed in two volumes of buffer containing 20 mM
2-(4N-[2-hydroxyethyl]piperazin-1-yl)ethanesul- fonic acid (hepes),
pH 7.4, 5 mM ethylene glycol bis(2-aminoethyl ether)
N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, 1% Triton X-100, 10% glycerol, 0.1 mM
sodium orthovanadate, 5 mM sodium fluoride, 4 mM pyrophosphate, 4
mM benzamide, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 80 .mu.g/mL aprotinin, 40
.mu.g/mL leupeptin and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. After
centrifugation at 25,000.times.g for 10 minutes, the supernatant
was equilibrated for 2 h at 4.degree. C. with 10 mL of wheat germ
agglutinin sepharose that was previously equilibrated with 50 mM
Hepes, 10% glycerol, 0.1% Triton X-100 and 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5,
(equilibration buffer). Contaminating proteins were washed from the
resin with 1 M NaCl in equilibration buffer, and the enzyme was
eluted with 0.5 M N-acetyl-1-D-glucosamine in equilibration buffer,
followed by 1 mM urea. The enzyme was eluted with 0.1 mg/ml EGF.
The receptor appeared to be homogeneous as assessed by Coomassie
blue stained polyacrylamide electrophoretic gels.

[0280] Cells
[0281] Swiss 3T3 mouse fibroblasts, A431 human epidermoid carcinoma
cells, and MCF-7 (Michigan Cancer Foundation mammary carcinoma
cells), SK-BR-3 (human mammary carcinoma cells), MDA-MB-231 and
MDA-MB-468 (human mammary carcinoma cells) breast carcinomas were
obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md.
and maintained as monolayers in DMEM (Dulbecco's modified eagle
medium)/F12, 50:50 (Gibco/BRL) containing 10% fetal bovine serum.
To obtain conditioned medium, MDA-MB-231 cells were grown to
confluency in an 850 cm.sup.2 roller bottle and the medium-replaced
with 50 ml of serum-free medium. After 3 days the conditioned
medium was removed, frozen down in aliquots and used as a heregulin
source to stimulate erbB-2, 3, 4.
[0282] Antibodies
[0283] Monoclonal antibodies raised to the PDGF (platelet-desired
growth factor) receptor or phosphotyrosine were from Upstate
Biotechnology, Inc., Lake Placid, N.Y. Anti-pp39.sup.jun (antibody
to the transcription factor c-jun, which is a 39 kDalton
phosphoprotein) and anti-EGF receptor antibodies were from Oncogene
Science, Uniondale, N.Y.
[0284] Immunorecipitation and Western Blot
[0285] Cells were grown to 100% confluency in 100 mm Petrie dishes
(Corning). After the cells were treated for 5 minutes with either
EGF (epidermal growth factor), PDGF, or bFGF (basic fibroblast
growth factor) (20 ng/ml) or 1 ml of conditioned media from
MDA-MB-231 cells, the media was removed and the monolayer scraped
into 1 ml of ice cold lysis buffer (50 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 150 mM
NaCl, 10% glycerol, 1% triton X-100, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 10 mM
sodium pyrophosphate, 30 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate, 1 mM
orthovanadate, 50 mM sodium fluoride, 1 mM
phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride, 10 .mu.g/ml of aprotinin, and 10
.mu.g/ml of leupeptin). The lysate was transferred to a microfuge
tube (small centrifuge that holds 1-2 ml plastic centrifuge tubes),
allowed to sit on ice 15 minutes and centrifuged 5 minutes at
10,000.times.g. The supernatant was transferred to a clean
microfuge tube and 5 .mu.g of antibody was added to designated
samples. The tubes were rotated for 2 hours at 40.degree. C. after
which 25 .mu.l of protein A sepharose was added and then rotation
continued for at least 2 more hours. The protein A separose was
washed 5 times with 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol
and 0.02% sodium azide. The precipitates were resuspended with 30
.mu.l of Laemlli buffer (Laemmli, NATURE, Vol. 727, pp. 680-685,
1970), heated to 100.degree. C. for 5 minutes and centrifuged to
obtain the supernatant. Whole cell extracts were made by scraping
cells grown in the wells of 6 well plates into 0.2 ml of boiling
Laemmli buffer. The extract were transferred to a microfuge tube
and heated to 100.degree. C. for 5 minutes. The entire supernatant
from the immunoprecipitation or 35 .mu.l of the whole cell extract
was loaded onto a polyacrylamide gel (4-20%) and electrophoresis
carried out by the method of Laemlli (Laemmli, 1970). Proteins in
the gel were electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose and
the membrane was washed once in 10 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.2, 150 mM
NaCl, 0.01% Azide (TNA) and blocked overnight in TNA containing 5%
bovine serum albumin and it ovalbumin (blocking buffer). The
membrane was blotted for 2 hours with the primary antibody (1
.mu.g/ml in blocking buffer) and then washed 2 times sequentially
in TNA, TNA containing 0.05% Tween-20 and 0.05% Nonidet P-40
(commercially available detergent) and TNA. The membranes were then
incubated for 2 hours in blocking buffer containing 0.1 .mu.Ci/ml
of [.sup.125I] protein A and then washed again as above. After the
blots were dry they were loaded into a film cassette and exposed to
X-AR X-ray film for 1-7 days. Protein A is a bacterial protein that
specifically bonds certain IgG subtypes and is useful in binding to
and isolating antibody-antigen complexes.
[0286] Northern Blots
[0287] Total cellular RNA was isolated from untreated control or
treated Swiss 3T3 cells using RNAzol-B (trademark of Tel Test Inc.
for a kit used to isolate RNA from tissues) and adhered to the
protocol described by the manufacturer. Forty to fifty .mu.g of RNA
was loaded onto a 1% agarose gel and electrophoresis carried out
for 3-4 hours at 65 volts. The RNA in the gel was transferred by
capillary action to a nylon membrane (Hybond-N, Amersham). The 40
mer c-jun probe was end labeled with [.sup.32p]ATP using T4
nucleotide kinase (Promega) and purified on a G25 sephadex column
according to the procedure recommended by the supplier, Oncogene
Science. Hybridization was performed overnight at 65.degree. C.
(c-jun is an immediate early transcription factor; it is one of the
components of AP-1 while FOS is the second component of AP-1.
[0288] Growth Factor-Mediated Mitogenesis
[0289] Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts were grown to 90-100% confluency in
24- well plates (1.7.times.1.6 cm, flat bottom) and growth arrested
in serum-free media for 18 hours. Drug was added to specified wells
2 hours prior to growth factors and then the cells were exposed to
either 20 ng/ml EGF, PDGF or bFGF or 10% serum for 24 hours. Two
.mu.Ci of [methyl-.sup.3H]thymidine was added to each well and
incubated for 2 hours at 37.degree. C. The cells were trypsinized
and injected into 2 ml of ice cold 15% trichloroacetic acid (TCA).
The resulting precipitate was collected on glassfiber filters,
washed five times with 2-ml aliquots of ice-cold 15% TCA, dried and
placed in scintillation vials along with 10 ml Ready gel (Beckman,
Irvine, Calif.). Radioactivity was determined in a Beckman LS 6800
scintillation counter.
[0290] Growth Inhibition Assay
[0291] Cells (2.times.10.sup.4) were seeded in 24-well plates
(1.7.times.1.6 cm, flat bottom) in two mls of medium with or
without various concentrations of drug. Plates were incubated for 3
days at 37.degree. in a humidified atmosphere containing 5%
CO.sub.2 in air. Cell growth was determined by cell count with a
Coulter Model AM electronic cell counter (Coulter Electronics,
Inc., Hialeah, Fla.).

[0296] MDA-468--Human breast carcinoma overexpressing the EGF
receptor
[0297] The above gels, developed as detailed in the experimental
section, demonstrate the efficacy of compounds of the current
invention at blocking certain EGF-stimulated mitogenic signalling
events in whole cells. The numbers to the left of the gels
indicated the positions of molecular weight standards in
kiloDaltons. The lane labelled control shows the degree of
expression of the growth-related signal in the absence of EGF
stimulation, whereas the lane labelled EGF (or PDGF or b-FGF) shows
the magnitude of the growth factor-stimulated signal. The other
lanes show the effect of the stated quantities of the named drug on
the growth factor-stimulated activity being measured, demonstrating
that the compounds of the present invention have potent effects in
whole cells, consistent with their ability to inhibit the tyrosine
kinase activity of the EGF receptor.
[0298] Gel of Example 40 (FIG. 7) detects mRNA for c-jun by
hybridization with a specific radiolabelled RNA probe for c-jun.
The gel demonstrates that the growth factors EFG, PDGF and b-FGF
stimulate c-jun production in Swiss 3T3 cells, and that compound 40
blocks this production for EGF-stimulated cells, but not for PDGF
or b-FGF stimulated cells.
[0299] Effect of Example 40 on Growth Factor Mediated Expression of
p39.sup.c-jun
[0300] This gel shows the amount of c-jun induced in Swiss 3T3
cells by the growth factor EGF, PDGF and b-FGF, quantitating with
an anti-c-jun-specific monoclonal antibody. It demonstrates the
ability of Example 40 to block c-jun expression in Swiss 3T3 when
stimulated by EGF, but not when stimulated by PDGF or b-FGF.
[0301] It is to be appreciated that the compounds described herein
can be used in combination with other components to enhance their
activity. Such additional components are anti-neoplastic materials
as, doxorubicin, taxol, cis platin, and the like.
[0302] It has been found that the compounds described herein may
inhibit both the erb-B2 and erb-B4 receptors and therefore have
significantly increased clinical activity advantageously in
combination with the aforementioned anti-neoplastic agents.

[0443] The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can take
any of a wide variety of oral and parenteral dosage forms. The
dosage forms comprise as the active components an inhibitor as
defined previously.
[0444] For preparing pharmaceutical compositions, one uses inert,
pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that can be either solid or
liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets,
dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories. A solid
carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as
dilutents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending
agents, binders, or tablet disintegrating agents; it can also be an
encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided
solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active
compounds. In the tablet, the active compounds are mixed with
carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable
proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The
powders and tablets preferably contain from 5% or 10% to about 70%
of active ingredients. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium
carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin,
dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium
carboxymethyl cellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the
like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation
of the active compounds with encapsulating materials as carrier,
providing a capsule in which the active components (with or without
other carriers) are surrounded by carrier, which are thus in
association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets,
powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms
suitable for oral administration.
[0445] Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and
emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water-propylene
glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Liquid preparations can
also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol
solution. Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared
by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable
colorants, flavors, stabilizing, and thickening agents as desired.
Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing
the finely divided active components in water with viscous
material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methyl
cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and other well-known
suspending agents.
[0446] Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage
form. In such form, the preparation may be subdivided into unit
doses containing appropriate quantities of inhibitor and other
anti-cancer materials individually or as a combination, i.e., in a
mixture. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the
package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example,
packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. The
unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself or
it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form.
Additionally, the unit dosage form may be a dividable form having
an inhibitor in one part and other anti-cancer materials in the
other part, such as, a dividable capsule, a dividable package, or a
two-part ampoule, vial or the like.
[0447] The quantity of an inhibitor in unit dosages of preparation
may be varied or adjusted from about 0.01 mg/kg to 100.0 mg/kg,
preferably 0.03 mg/kg to less than 1.0 mg/kg of inhibitor.
[0448] The pharmaceutical compositions preferably are constituted
so that they can be administered parenterally or orally. Solutions
of the active compounds as free bases and free acids or
pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be prepared in water suitable
mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulosa. Dispersions
can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and
mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage
and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the
growth of microorganisms.
[0449] The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include
sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for
the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or
dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be
fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be
stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be
preserved against the contaminating action of the microorganisms
such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or
dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol
(for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene
glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable
oils. The 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. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be
brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for
example, paragens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal,
and the like. In many cases, it will be preferred to include
isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged
absorption of the injectable compositions of agents delaying
absorption, for example, gelatin.
[0450] Sterile-injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating
the active compounds in the required amount in the appropriate
solvent with various other ingredients enumerated above, as
required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally,
dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized
active ingredients, into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic
dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those
enumerated above. In the case of the sterile powders for the
preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods
of preparation are vacuum drying and the freeze-drying technique
which yields a powder of active ingredients plus an additional
desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution
thereof.
[0451] As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier"
includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings,
antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption
delaying agents and the like. The use of such media and agents for
pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except
insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the
active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions is
contemplated. Supplementary active ingredients can also be
incorporated into the compositions.
[0452] It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral
compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and
uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to
physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for the
mammalian subjects to be treated,; each unit containing a
predetermined quantity of active materials calculated to produce
the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required
pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the novel dosage unit
forms of the invention are dictated by and directly dependent on
(a) the unique characteristics of the active materials and the
particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the
limitation inherent in the art of compounding such active materials
for the treatment of disease in living subjects having a diseased
condition in which bodily health is impaired as herein disclosed in
detail.
[0453] The principal active ingredients are compounded for
convenient and effective administration in effective amounts with a
suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in dosage unit form as
hereinbefore disclosed. A unit parenteral dosage form can, for
example, contain the principal active compound, i.e. an inhibitor,
in amounts ranging from about 0.5 to about 100 mg, with from about
0.1 to 50 mg being preferred. The daily parenteral doses for
mammalian subjects to be treated ranges from 0.01 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg
of the inhibitor. The preferred daily dosage range is 0.1 mg/kg to
1.0 mg/kg.
[0454] For oral dosages, the daily amount may range from 0.01 mg of
active compound/kg of mammalian subject to 100 mg/kg, preferably
0.1 to 10 mg/kg of subject.
[0455] The inhibitor described above may form commonly known,
pharmaceutically acceptable salts such as alkali metal and other
common basic salts or acid addition salts, etc. References to the
base substances are therefore intended to include those common
salts known to be substantially equivalent to the parent compound
and hydrates thereof.
[0456] The active compounds described herein are capable of further
forming both pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition and/or base
salts. All of these forms are within the scope of the present
invention.
[0457] Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the
active compounds include salts derived from nontoxic inorganic
acids such as hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric,
hydrobromic, hydriodic, hydrofluoric, phosphorous, and the like, as
well as the salts derived from nontoxic organic acids, such as
aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic
acids, hydroxy alkanoic acids, alkanedioic acids, aromatic acids,
aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids, etc. Such salts thus include
sulfate, pyrosulfate, bisulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, nitrate,
phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate,
metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, chloride, bromide, iodide, acetate,
trifluoroacetate. propionate, caprylate, isobutyrate, oxalate,
malonate succinate, suberate, sebacate, fumarate, maleate,
mandelate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, methylbenzoate,
dinitrobenzoate, phthalate, benzenesulfonate, toluenesulfonate,
phenylacetate, citrate, lactate, maleate, tartrate,
methanesulfonate, and the like. Also contemplated are salts of
amino acids such as arginate and the like and gluconate,
galacturonate (see, for example, Berge, S. M. et al,
"Pharmaceutical Salts", JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE, 66, pp.
1-19 (1977)).
[0458] The acid addition salts of said basic compounds are prepared
by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the
desired acid to produce the salt in the conventional manner.
Preferably, an active compound can be converted to an acidic salt
by treating with an aqueous solution of the desired acid, such that
the resulting pH is less than 4. The solution can be passed through
a C18 cartridge to absorb the compound, washed with copious amounts
of water, the compound eluted with a polar organic solvent such as,
for example, methanol, acetonitrile, and the like, and isolated by
concentrating under reduced pressure followed by lyophilization.
The free base form may be regenerated by contacting the salt form
with a base and isolating the free base in the conventional manner.
The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms
somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar
solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to their
respective free base for purposes of the present invention.
[0459] Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are formed
with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or
organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations are sodium,
potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like. Examples of suitable
amines are N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline,
diethanolamine, dicyclohexylamine, ethylenediamine,
N-methylglucamine, and procaine (see, for example, Berge, S. M. et
al, "Pharmaceutical Salts", JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE, 66,
pp. 1-19 (1977)).
[0460] The base addition salts of said acidic compounds are
prepared by contacting the free acid form with a sufficient amount
of the desired base to produce the salt in the conventional manner.
Preferably, an active compound can be converted to a base salt by
treating with an aqueous solution of the desired base, such that
the resulting pH is greater than 9. The solution can be passed
through a C18 cartridge to absorb the compound, washed with copious
amounts of water, the compound eluted with a polar organic solvent
such as, for example, methanol, acetonitrile and the like, and
isolated by concentrating under reduced pressure followed by
lyophilization. The free acid form may be regenerated by contacting
the salt form with an acid and isolating the free acid in the
conventional manner. The free acid forms differ from their
respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such
as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are
equivalent to their respective free acids for purposes of the
present invention.
[0461] Certain of the compounds of the present invention can exist
in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated
forms. In general, the solvated forms, including hydrated forms are
equivalent to unsolvated forms and are intended to be encompassed
within the scope of the present invention.
[0462] Certain of the compounds of the present invention possess
one or more chiral centers and such center may exist in the R(D) or
S(L) configuration. The present invention includes all enantiomeric
and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof.
[0463] While the forms of the invention herein constitute presently
preferred embodiments, many others are possible. It is not intended
herein to mention all of the possible equivalent forms or
ramifications of the invention. It is understood that the terms
used herein are merely descriptive rather than limiting and that
various changes may be made without departing from the spirit or
scope of the invention. 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
