Description



CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] Pursuant to 35 USC .sctn. 119(e), this application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/690,267, filed Jun. 14, 2005, and U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/798,596, filed May 8, 2006, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Chemokines are a family of cytokines that regulate the adhesion and transendothelial migration of leukocytes during an immune or inflammatory reaction (Mackay C. R., Nat. Immunol., (2001) 2:95; Olson et al., Am. J. Physiol. Regul. Integr. Comp. Physiol., (2002) 283:R7). Chemokines also regulate T cells and B cells trafficking and homing, and contribute to the development of lymphopoietic and hematopoietic systems (Ajuebor et al., Biochem. Pharmacol., (2002) 63:1191). Approximately 50 chemokines have been identified in humans. They can be classified into 4 subfamilies, i.e., CXC, CX3C, CC, and C chemokines, based on the positions of the conserved cysteine residues at the N-terminal (Onuffer et al., Trends Pharmacol Sci., (2002) 23:459). The biological functions of chemokines are mediated by their binding and activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) on the cell surface. Take CXCR4 receptor for example, it can be activated by Stromal-derived factor-1 or SDF-1, a member of CXC chemokines.

[0003] SDF-1 was originally cloned from bone marrow stromal cell lines and found to act as a growth factor for progenitor B cells (Nishikawa et al., Eur. J. Immunol., (1988) 18:1767). SDF-1 also induces bone marrow colonization of hematopoietic precursor cells during embryogenesis (Bleul et al., J. Exp. Med., (1996) 184:1101). The physiological function of SDF-1 is mediated by CXCR4 receptor. Mice lacking SDF-1 or CXCR4 receptor show lethal abnormality in bone marrow myelopoiesis, B cell lymphopoiesis, and cerebellar development (Nagasawa et al., Nature, (1996) 382:635; Ma et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., (1998) 95:9448; Zou et al., Nature (1998) 393:595; Lu et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (2002) 99:7090). CXCR4 receptor is expressed broadly in a variety of tissues, particularly in immune and central nervous systems, and has been described as the major co-receptor for HIV-1/2 on T lymphocytes. Although initial interest in CXCR4 antagonism focused on its potential application to AIDS treatment (Bleul et al., Nature (1996) 382:829), it is now becoming clear that CXCR4 receptor and SDF-1 are also involved in other pathological conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and tumor metastases (Buckley et al., J. Immunol., (2000) 165:3423). CXCR4 receptor and SDF-1 are also found widely expressed in many tissues during embryonic development. Further, the CXCR4/SDF-1 pathway has been shown to be critically involved in the regeneration of several tissue injury models. Specifically, it has been found that the SDF-1 level is elevated at an injured site and CXCR4-positive cells actively participate in the tissue regenerating process.

SUMMARY

[0004] This invention is based on the discovery that certain pyrimidine compounds are effective in treating inflammatory and immune diseases (e.g., retinopathy), developmental or degenerative diseases, or tissue injuries through their binding to chemokine receptors (e.g., CXCR3 or CXCR4 receptors).

[0028] The details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the description below. Other features, objects, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and from the claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] Shown below are exemplary compounds, compounds 1-268, of this invention: ##STR49## ##STR50## ##STR51## ##STR52## ##STR53## ##STR54## ##STR55## ##STR56## ##STR57## ##STR58## ##STR59## ##STR60## ##STR61## ##STR62## ##STR63## ##STR64## ##STR65## ##STR66## ##STR67## ##STR68## ##STR69## ##STR70## ##STR71## ##STR72## ##STR73## ##STR74## ##STR75## ##STR76## ##STR77## ##STR78## ##STR79## ##STR80## ##STR81## ##STR82## ##STR83## ##STR84## ##STR85## ##STR86## ##STR87## ##STR88## ##STR89## ##STR90## ##STR91## ##STR92## ##STR93## ##STR94## ##STR95## ##STR96## ##STR97##

[0030] The pyrimidine compounds described above can be prepared by methods well known in the art. Examples 1-268 below provide detailed descriptions of the preparation of compounds 1-268 of this invention.

[0031] Scheme I shown below depicts a typical synthetic route for synthesizing certain exemplary compounds. In this scheme, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.6, and R.sub.7 are as defined in the Summary section above. Specifically, a pyrimidine compound containing a halo group reacts with a compound containing two protected amino groups and an unprotected primary amino group to give a compound of formula (2), which is subsequently deprotected by removing the amino-protecting group to give a compound of formula (3). Exemplary amino-protecting groups include t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, acetyl, phenylcarbonyl, and trialkylsilyl. ##STR98##

[0032] Compounds of formula (2) can be modified in various manners to afford other compounds of this invention. For example, as shown in Scheme II below, when R.sub.3 is halo, a compound of formula (2) reacts with a heterocyclic compound containing a ring nitrogen atom to give a compound of formula (4), which is subsequently deprotected to give a compound of formula (5). As another example, when R.sub.3 is also halo, a compound of formula (2) reacts with an alcohol to give a compound of formula (8), which is subsequently deprotected to give a compound of formual (9). ##STR99##

[0033] As shown in Scheme III below, when R.sub.2 is CN, a compound of formula (2) can be first reduced to give a compound of formula (10), which contains an aldehyde group. The compound of formula (10) can then react with a primary amine to give a compound of formula (11), which can be subsequently deprotected to form a compound of formula (12). ##STR100##

[0034] Compounds of formula (4) obtained above can be further modified in various manners to give other compounds of this invention. For example, as shown in Scheme IV below, when Y is NH, a compound of formula (4) reacts with a compound containing a halide group, an aldehyde group, or an acyl chloride group to give a compound of formula (6), which is subsequently deprotected to give a compound of formula (7). As another example, when Y is NH, a compound of formula (4) reacts with an .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ester, followed by hydrolysis to give a compound of formula (13), which is subsequently deprotected to give a compound of formula (14). As another example, when Y is NH, a compound of formula (4) reacts with a vinyl phosphonate to give a compound of formula (15). The compound of formula (15) is then deprotected and hydrolyzed to give a compound of formula (16). ##STR101## ##STR102## ##STR103##

[0035] A pyrimidine compound thus synthesized can be purified by a method such as column chromatography, high-pressure liquid chromatography, or recrystallization.

[0036] Other pyrimidine compounds can be prepared using other suitable starting materials through the above synthetic routes and others known in the art. The methods described above may also additionally include steps, either before or after the steps described specifically herein, to add or remove suitable protecting groups in order to ultimately allow synthesis of the pyrimidine compounds. In addition, various synthetic steps may be performed in an alternate sequence or order to give the desired compounds. Synthetic chemistry transformations and protecting group methodologies (protection and deprotection) useful in synthesizing applicable pyrimidine compounds are known in the art and include, for example, those described in R. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers (1989); T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2.sup.nd Ed., John Wiley and Sons (1991); L. Fieser and M. Fieser, Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons (1994); and L. Paquette, ed., Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons (1995) and subsequent editions thereof.

[0037] The pyrimidine compounds mentioned herein may contain a non-aromatic double bond and one or more asymmetric centers. Thus, they can occur as racemates and racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, individual diastereomers, diastereomeric mixtures, and cis- or trans-isomeric forms. All such isomeric forms are contemplated.

[0038] Also within the scope of this invention is a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of at least one pyrimidine compound described above and a pharmaceutical acceptable carrier. Further, this invention covers a method of administering an effective amount of one or more of the pyrimidine compounds to a patient having a disease described in the summary section above. This invention also covers a method of administering an effective amount of one or more of the pyrimidine compounds for enhancing migration of bone marrow-derived cells to blood. "An effective amount" refers to the amount of an active pyrimidine compound that is required to confer a therapeutic effect on the treated subject. Effective doses will vary, as recognized by those skilled in the art, depending on the types of diseases treated, route of administration, excipient usage, and the possibility of co-usage with other therapeutic treatment.

[0039] To practice the method of the present invention, a composition having one or more pyrimidine compounds can be administered parenterally, orally, nasally, rectally, topically, or buccally. The term "parenteral" as used herein refers to subcutaneous, intracutaneous, intravenous, intrmuscular, intraarticular, intraarterial, intrasynovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intralesional, or intracranial injection, as well as any suitable infusion technique.

[0040] A sterile injectable composition can be a solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, such as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are mannitol, water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium (e.g., synthetic mono- or diglycerides). Fatty acid, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically acceptable oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions can also contain a long chain alcohol diluent or dispersant, carboxymethyl cellulose, or similar dispersing agents. Other commonly used surfactants such as Tweens or Spans or other similar emulsifying agents or bioavailability enhancers which are commonly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutically acceptable solid, liquid, or other dosage forms can also be used for the purpose of formulation.

[0041] A composition for oral administration can be any orally acceptable dosage form including capsules, tablets, emulsions and aqueous suspensions, dispersions, and solutions. In the case of tablets, commonly used carriers include lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are also typically added. For oral administration in a capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dried corn starch. When aqueous suspensions or emulsions are administered orally, the active ingredient can be suspended or dissolved in an oily phase combined with emulsifying or suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening, flavoring, or coloring agents can be added.

[0042] A nasal aerosol or inhalation composition can be prepared according to techniques well known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation. For example, such a composition can be prepared as a solution in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance bioavailability, fluorocarbons, and/or other solubilizing or dispersing agents known in the art.

[0043] A composition having one or more active pyrimidine compounds can also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration.

[0044] The carrier in the pharmaceutical composition must be "acceptable" in the sense that it is compatible with the active ingredient of the composition (and preferably, capable of stabilizing the active ingredient) and not deleterious to the subject to be treated. One or more solubilizing agents can be utilized as pharmaceutical excipients for delivery of an active pyrimidine compound. Examples of other carriers include colloidal silicon oxide, magnesium stearate, cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate, and D&C Yellow # 10.

[0045] The pyrimidine compounds described above can be preliminarily screened for their efficacy in treating above-described diseases by an in vitro assay (See Examples 269 and 270 below) and then confirmed by animal experiments and clinic trials. Other methods will also be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0046] The specific examples below are to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limitative of the remainder of the disclosure in any way whatsoever. Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can, based on the description herein, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. All publications cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

EXAMPLE 269

In Vitro Assay

[0807] 143 of the above-mentioned compounds were tested for their efficacy in binding to CXCR4 receptor using a DELFIA GTP-binding kit (Wallac Oy, Turku, Finland). The DELFIA GTP-binding assay is a time-resolved fluorometric assay based on GDP-GTP exchange on G-protein subunits followed by activation of a G protein-coupled receptor by its agonists. Eu-GTP, obtained from Wallac Oy, was used in this assay to allow monitoring of agonist-dependent activation of G-protein. Stimulation of CXCR4 receptor by SDF-1 leads to the replacement of GDP by GTP on the .alpha.-subunit of G-protein. This GTP-GA complex represents the activated form of G-protein. Eu-GTP, a non-hydrolysable analog of GTP, can be used to quantify the amount of activated G-protein. (Peltonen et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol. (1998) 355:275.)

[0808] Plasma membrane of CXCR4-expressing HEK293 cells was suspended in an assay buffer (50 mM NaCl, 100 .mu.g/mL saponin, 3 mM MgCl.sub.2, 3 .mu.M GDP, 5% BSA, 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4). An aliquot (4 .mu.g protein) was added to each well of an AcroPlate (Pall Life Sciences, Ann Arbor, Mich.). After the addition of the test compounds (10 .mu.M in 0.1% DMSO) and stromal-derived factor-1 (4 nM in the assay buffer), the assay plate was incubated in the dark at room temperature with slow shaking for 10 minutes. Eu-GTP was added to each well and the plate was incubated again for 60 minutes. The assay was terminated by washing the plate twice with a wash solution provided in the assay kit. Binding of Eu-GTP was determined based on the fluorescence signal from a Victor 2 multi-label reader.

[0809] Unexpectedly, 196 of the tested compounds showed IC.sub.50 values between 0.003 .mu.M and 0.1 .mu.M; 56 of the tested compounds showed IC.sub.50 values between 0.1 .mu.M and 1 .mu.M, and 16 of the test compounds showed IC.sub.50 values between 1 .mu.M and 5 .mu.M.

EXAMPLE 270

Radioligand Binding Assay

[0810] Competition binding assays between test compounds human stromal-derived factor-1 were carried out using glass fiber filter plates (Millipore, Billerica, Mass.). The glass fiber filter plates were pre-coated with 90 .mu.l of 0.2% polyethyleneimine for 30 minutes and rinsed with 100 .mu.l of distilled water for four times to reduce non-specific binding. Membranes of human CXCR4-transfected HEK293 cells (5-10 .mu.g protein/well) in a 70 .mu.l assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% bovine serum albumin, 90 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl.sub.2, 1 mM CaCl.sub.2) were incubated with 20 .mu.l of a test compound solution and 10 .mu.l of a [.sup.125I]-SDF-1 solution (each having a final concentration 150 .mu.M) in U-bottom assay plates (Corning, Corning, N.Y.). After the membranes were incubated at room temperature for 120 minutes, the incubation was terminated by transferring 80 .mu.l of each reaction mixture to each glass fiber plate well and filtered by vacuum filtration (MultiScreen Vacuum Maniford, Millipore). Each plate was washed 4 times with 80 .mu.l/well of a wash buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4 and 90 mM NaCl) and then air dried overnight. After 35 .mu.l/well of a Supermix cocktail to each plate, the radioactivity retained on the plate was counted with Trilux MicroBeta (PerkinElmer, Boston, Mass.).

[0811] The 196 compounds with IC.sub.50 values between 0.003 .mu.M and 0.1 .mu.M in GTP-binding assay were further screened in radioligand binding assay. The results show that they exhibited inhibitory activities in the range of 10-1200 n-M.
