CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 09/257,266 filed
Feb. 25, 1999 and a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 60/115,877
filed Jan. 13, 1999.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This invention relates to the use of a group of aryl ureas
in treating raf mediated diseases, and pharmaceutical compositions
for use in such therapy.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The p21.sup.ras oncogene is a major contributor to the
development and progression of human solid cancers and is mutated
in 30% of all human cancers (Bolton et al. Ann. Rep. Med. Chem.
1994, 29, 165-74; Bos. Cancer Res. 1989, 49, 4682-9). In its
normal, unmutated form, the ras protein is a key element of the
signal transduction cascade directed by growth factor receptors in
almost all tissues (Avruch et al. Trends Biochem. Sci. 1994, 19,
279-83). Biochemically, ras is a guanine nucleotide binding
protein, and cycling between a GTP-bound activated and a GDP-bound
resting form is strictly controlled by ras' endogenous GTPase
activity and other regulatory proteins. In the ras mutants in
cancer cells, the endogenous GTPase activity is alleviated and,
therefore, the protein delivers constitutive growth signals to
downstream effectors such as the enzyme raf kinase. This leads to
the cancerous growth of the cells which carry these mutants
(Magnuson et al. Semin. Cancer Biol. 1994, 5, 247-53). It has been
shown that inhibiting the effect of active ras by inhibiting the
raf kinase signaling pathway by administration of deactivating
antibodies to raf kinase or by co-expression of dominant negative
raf kinase or dominant negative MEK, the substrate of raf kinase,
leads to the reversion of transformed cells to the normal growth
phenotype (see: Daum et al. Trends Biochem. Sci. 1994, 19, 474-80;
Fridman et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1994, 269, 30105-8. Kolch et al.
(Nature 1991, 349, 426-28) have further indicated that inhibition
of raf expression by antisense RNA blocks cell proliferation in
membrane-associated oncogenes. Similarly, inhibition of raf kinase
(by antisense oligodeoxynucleotides) has been correlated in vitro
and in vivo with inhibition of the growth of a variety of human
tumor types (Monia et al., Nat. Med. 1996, 2, 668-75).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The present invention provides compounds which are
inhibitors of the enzyme raf kinase. Since the enzyme is a
downstream effector of p21.sup.ras, the inhibitors are useful in
pharmaceutical compositions for human or veterinary use where
inhibition of the raf kinase pathway is indicated, e.g., in the
treatment of tumors and/or cancerous cell growth mediated by raf
kinase. In particular, the compounds are useful in the treatment of
human or animal solid cancers, e.g., murine cancer, since the
progression of these cancers is dependent upon the ras protein
signal transduction cascade and therefore susceptible to treatment
by interruption of the cascade, i.e., by inhibiting raf kinase.
Accordingly, the compounds of the invention are useful in treating
cancers, including solid cancers, such as, for example, carcinomas
(e.g., of the lungs, pancreas, thyroid, bladder or colon), myeloid
disorders (e.g., myeloid leukemia) or adenomas (e.g., villous colon
adenoma).
[0005] The present invention therefore provides compounds generally
described as aryl ureas, including both aryl and heteroaryl
analogues, which inhibit the raf kinase pathway. The invention also
provides a method for treating a raf mediated disease state in
humans or mammals. Thus, the invention is directed to compounds
which inhibit the enzyme raf kinase and also compounds,
compositions and methods for the treatment of cancerous cell growth
mediated by raf kinase wherein a compound of Formula I is
administered or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

containing 1-3 rings, at least one of which is aromatic, in which
one or more, e.g., 1-4 carbon atoms in one or more of the rings can

[0023] Suitable alkyl groups and alkyl portions of groups, e.g.,
alkoxy, etc. throughout include methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, etc.,
including all straight-chain and branched isomers such as
isopropyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, etc.
[0024] Suitable aryl groups which do not contain heteroatoms
include, for example, phenyl and 1- and 2-naphthyl.
[0025] The term "cycloalkyl", as used herein, refers to cyclic
structures with or without alkyl substituents such that, for
example, "C.sub.4 cycloalkyl" includes methyl substituted
cyclopropyl groups as well as cyclobutyl groups. The term
"cycloalkyl", as used herein also includes saturated heterocyclic
groups.
[0026] Suitable halogen groups include F, Cl, Br, and/or I, from
one to per-substitution (i.e. all H atoms on a group replaced by a
halogen atom) being possible where an alkyl group is substituted by
halogen, mixed substitution of halogen atom types also being
possible on a given moiety.
[0027] The invention also relates to compounds per se, of formula
I.
[0028] The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutically
acceptable salts of formula I. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable
salts are well known to those skilled in the art and include basic
salts of inorganic and organic acids, such as hydrochloric acid,
hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulphonic
acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid,
.rho.-toluenesulfonic acid, 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid,
2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid,
malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid,
succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic
acid, phenylacetic acid, and mandelic acid. In addition,
pharmaceutically acceptable salts include acid salts of inorganic
bases, such as salts containing alkaline cations (e.g., Li.sup.+
Na.sup.+ or K.sup.+), alkaline earth cations (e.g., Mg.sup.+2,
Ca.sup.+2 or Ba.sup.+2), the ammonium cation, as well as acid salts
of organic bases, including aliphatic and aromatic substituted
ammonium, and quaternary ammonium cations, such as those arising
from protonation or peralkylation of triethylamine,
N,N-diethylamine, N,N-dicyclohexylamine, lysine, pyridine,
N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), 1,4-diazabiclo[2.2.2]octane
(DABCO), 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) and
1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7- -ene (DBU).
[0029] A number of the compounds of Formula I possess asymmetric
carbons and can therefor exist in racemic and optically active
forms. Methods of separation of enantiomeric and diastereomeric
mixtures are well known to one skilled in the art. The present
invention encompasses any isolated racemic or optically active form
of compounds described in Formula I which possess raf inhibitory
activity.
General Preparative Methods
[0030] The compounds of Formula I may be prepared by the use of
known chemical reactions and procedures, some from starting
materials which are commercially available. Nevertheless, general
preparative methods are provided below to aid one skilled in the
art in synthesizing these compounds, with more detailed examples
being provided in the Experimental section which follows.
[0031] Substituted anilines may be generated using standard methods
(March. Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3.sup.rd Ed.; John Wiley: New
York (1985). Larock. Comprehensive Organic Transformations; VCH
Publishers: New York (1989)). As shown in Scheme I, aryl amines are
commonly synthesized by reduction of nitroaryls using a metal
catalyst, such as Ni, Pd, or Pt, and H.sub.2 or a hydride transfer
agent, such as formate, cyclohexadiene, or a borohydride (Rylander.
Hydrogenation Methods; Academic Press: London, UK (1985)).
Nitroaryls may also be directly reduced using a strong hydride
source, such as LiAlH.sub.4 (Seyden-Penne. Reductions by the
Alumino- and Borohydrides in Organic Synthesis; VCH Publishers: New
York (1991)), or using a zero valent metal, such as Fe, Sn or Ca,
often in acidic media. Many methods exist for the synthesis of
nitroaryls (March. Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd Ed.; John Wiley:
New York (1985). Larock. Comprehensive Organic Transformations; VCH
Publishers: New York (1989)). 1
[0032] Nitroaryls are commonly formed by electrophilic aromatic
nitration using HNO.sub.3, or an alternative NO.sub.2.sup.+ source.
Nitroaryls may be further elaborated prior to reduction. Thus,
nitroaryls substituted with 2
[0033] potential leaving groups (e.g. F, Cl, Br, etc.) may undergo
substitution reactions on treatment with nucleophiles, such as
thiolate (exemplified in Scheme II) or phenoxide. Nitroaryls may
also undergo Ullman-type coupling reactions (Scheme II). 3
[0034] Nitroaryls may also undergo transition metal mediated cross
coupling reactions. For example, nitroaryl electrophiles, such as
nitroaryl bromides, iodides or triflates, undergo palladium
mediated cross coupling reactions with aryl nucleophiles, such as
arylboronic acids (Suzuki reactions, exemplified below), aryltins
(Stille reactions) or arylzincs (Negishi reaction) to afford the
biaryl (5). 4
[0035] Either nitroaryls or anilines may be converted into the
corresponding arenesulfonyl chloride (7) on treatment with
chlorosulfonic acid. Reaction of the sulfonyl chloride with a
fluoride source, such as KF then affords sulfonyl fluoride (8).
Reaction of sulfonyl fluoride 8 with trimethylsilyl
trifluoromethane in the presence of a fluoride source, such as
tris(dimethylamino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsiliconate (TASF)
leads to the corresponding trifluoromethylsulfone (9).
Alternatively, sulfonyl chloride 7 may be reduced to the arenethiol
(10), for example with zinc amalgum. Reaction of thiol 10 with
CHClF.sub.2 in the presence of base gives the difluoromethyl
mercaptam (11), which may be oxidized to the sulfone (12) with any
of a variety of oxidants, including CrO.sub.3-acetic anhydride
(Sedova et al. Zh. Org. Khim. 1970, 6, (568). 5
[0036] As shown in Scheme IV, non-symmetrical urea formation may
involve reaction of an aryl isocyanate (14) with an aryl amine
(13). The heteroaryl isocyanate may be synthesized from a
heteroaryl amine by treatment with phosgene or a phosgene
equivalent, such as trichloromethyl chloroformate (diphosgene),
bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate (triphosgene), or
N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI). The isocyanate may also be derived
from a heterocyclic carboxylic acid derivative, such as an ester,
an acid halide or an anhydride by a Curtius-type rearrangement.
Thus, reaction of acid derivative 16 with an azide source, followed
by rearrangement affords the isocyanate. The corresponding
carboxylic acid (17) may also be subjected to Curtius-type
rearrangements using diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) or a similar
reagent. 6
[0037] Finally, ureas may be further manipulated using methods
familiar to those skilled in the art.
[0038] The invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions
including a compound of Formula I, and a physiologically acceptable
carrier.
[0039] The compounds may be administered orally, topically,
parenterally, by inhalation or spray or rectally in dosage unit
formulations. The term `administration by injection` includes
intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and parenteral injections,
as well as use of infusion techniques. One or more compounds may be
present in association with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically
acceptable carriers and if desired other active ingredients.
[0040] Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according
to any suitable method known to the art for the manufacture of
pharmaceutical compositions. Such compositions may contain one or
more agents selected from the group consisting of diluents,
sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving
agents in order to provide palatable preparations. Tablets contain
the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically
acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of
tablets. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents, such
as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate
or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for
example, corn starch, or alginic acid; and binding agents, for
example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may
be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay
disintegration and adsorption in the gastrointestinal tract and
thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For
example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or
glyceryl distearate may be employed. These compounds may also be
prepared in solid, rapidly released form.
[0041] Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard
gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an
inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium
phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active
ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut
oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.
[0042] Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in
admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous
suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example
sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl
methylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum
tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a
naturally occurring phosphatide, for example, lecithin, or
condensation products or an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for
example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of
ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example
heptadecaethylene oxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene
oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol such
as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of
ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and
hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate.
The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives,
for example ethyl, or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more
coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more
sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.
[0043] Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of
an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active
ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent,
suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing
or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those
already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example,
sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.
[0044] The compounds may also be in the form of non-aqueous liquid
formulations, e.g., oily suspensions which may be formulated by
suspending the active ingredients in a vegetable oil, for example
arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or peanut oil, or in a mineral
oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a
thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl
alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and
flavoring agents may be added to provide palatable oral
preparations. These compositions may be preserved by the addition
of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.
[0045] Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in
the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a
vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral
oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable
emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum
acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides, for
example soy bean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived
from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan
monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters
with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan
monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring
agents.
[0046] Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents,
for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such
formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and
flavoring and coloring agents.
[0047] The compounds may also be administered in the form of
suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These
compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable
non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures
but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the
rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter and
polyethylene glycols.
[0048] For all regimens of use disclosed herein for compounds of
Formula I, the daily oral dosage regimen will preferably be from
0.01 to 200 mg/Kg of total body weight. The daily dosage for
administration by injection, including intravenous, intramuscular,
subcutaneous and parenteral injections, and use of infusion
techniques will preferably be from 0.01 to 200 mg/Kg of total body
weight. The daily rectal dosage regime will preferably be from 0.01
to 200 mg/Kg of total body weight. The daily topical dosage regime
will preferably be from 0.1 to 200 mg administered between one to
four times daily. The daily inhalation dosage regime will
preferably be from 0.01 to 10 mg/Kg of total body weight.
[0049] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the
particular method of administration will depend on a variety of
factors, all of which are considered routinely when administering
therapeutics. It will also be appreciated by one skilled in the art
that the specific dose level for a given patient depends on a
variety of factors, including specific activity of the compound
administered, age, body weight, health, sex, diet, time and route
of administration, rate of excretion, etc. It will be farther
appreciated by one skilled in the art that the optimal course of
treatment, ie., the mode of treatment and the daily number of doses
of a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt
thereof given for a defined number of days, can be ascertained by
those skilled in the art using conventional treatment tests.
[0050] It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level
for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors,
including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age,
body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration,
route of administration, and rate of excretion, drug combination
and the severity of the condition undergoing therapy.

starting materials which, in turn, can be produced from known
compounds), e.g., through the general preparative methods shown
below. The activity of a given compound to inhibit raf kinase can
be routinely assayed, e.g., according to procedures disclosed
