Description
[0001] This invention relates to compounds of the general formula
(I)
##STR00002##
wherein the groups R.sup.1 to R.sup.3 and X.sub.1 through X.sub.6
have the meanings given below in this specification. The compounds
of the invention are suitable for the treatment of diseases
characterized by excessive or abnormal cell proliferation,
pharmaceutical preparations containing such compounds and their
uses as a medicament. The compounds of the invention are BRD4
inhibitors.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Histone acetylation is most usually associated with the
activation of gene transcription, as the modification loosens the
interaction of the DNA and the histone octomer by changing the
electrostatics. In addition to this physical change, specific
proteins bind to acetylated lysine residues within histones to read
the epigenetic code. Bromodomains are small (about 110 amino acid)
distinct domains within proteins that bind to acetylated lysine
resides commonly but not exclusively in the context of histones.
There is a family of around 50 proteins known to contain
bromodomains, and they have a range of functions within the
cell.
[0003] The BET family of bromodomain containing proteins comprises
4 proteins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRD-T) which contain tandem
bromodomains capable of binding to two acetylated lysine residues
in close proximity, increasing the specificity of the interaction.
Recent research has established a compelling rationale for
targeting BRD4 in cancer. BRD4 remains bound to transcriptional
start sites of genes expressed during the entry into the G1 phase
of the cell cycle, and is functioning to recruit the positive
transcription elongation factor complex (P-TEFb), resulting in
increased expression of growth promoting genes (Yang and Zhou, Mol.
Cell. Biol. 28, 967, 2008) Importantly, BRD4 has been identified as
a component of a recurrent t (15; 19) chromosomal translocation in
an aggressive form of human squamous carcinoma (French et al.,
Cancer Res. 63, 304, 2003). Such translocations express the tandem
N-terminal bromodomains of BRD4 as an in-frame chimera with the NUT
(nuclear protein in testis) protein, genetically defining the
so-called NUT midline carcinoma (NMC). Functional studies in
patient-derived NMC cell lines have validated the essential role of
the BRD4-NUT oncoprotein in maintaining the proliferation and the
differentiation block of these malignant cells. In addition, BRD4
has been identified as a critical sensitivity determinant in a
genetically defined A ML mouse model (Zuber et al., Nature 2011
478(7370):524-8). Suppression of BRD4 led to robust anti-leukemic
effects in vitro and in vivo, accompanied by terminal myeloid
differentiation. Interestingly, BRD4 inhibition triggered MYC
down-regulation in a broad array of mouse and human leukemia cell
lines examined, indicating that small molecule BRD4 inhibitors may
provide a means to suppress the MYC pathway in a range of A ML
subtypes.
[0004] Finally, the other family members of the BET family have
also been reported to have some function in controlling or
executing aspects of the cell cycle, and have been shown to remain
in complex with chromosomes during cell division--suggesting a role
in the maintenance of epigenetic memory (Leroy et ai, Mol. Cell.
2008 30(1):51-60).
[0005] Examples of bromodomain inhibitors are benzodiazepine
derivatives, disclosed in WO2011/054553, and imidazo[4,5]quinoline
derivatives, disclosed in WO2011/054846.
[0006] Thus, there is the need to provide BRD4 inhibitors useful
for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases characterized by
excessive or abnormal cell proliferation, such as cancer.

DEFINITIONS
[0075] Terms that are not specifically defined here have the
meanings that are apparent to the skilled man in the light of the
overall disclosure and the context as a whole.
[0076] As used herein, the following definitions apply, unless
stated otherwise.
[0077] In the groups, radicals, or moieties defined below, the
number of carbon atoms is often specified preceding the group, for
example, --C.sub.1-5alkyl means an alkyl group or radical having 1
to 5 carbon atoms. In general, for groups comprising two or more
subgroups, the first named sub-group is the radical attachment
point, for example the substitutent --C.sub.1-5
alkyl-C.sub.3-10cycloalkyl, means a C.sub.3-10cycloalkyl group
which is bound to a C.sub.1-5alkyl, the latter of which is bound to
the core structure or to the group to which the substitutent is
attached.
[0078] The indication of the number of members in groups that
contain one or more heteroatom(s) (heteroalkyl, heteroaryl,
heteroarylalkyl, heterocyclyl, heterocycylalkyl) relates to the
total atomic number of all the ring members or chain members or the
total of all the ring and chain members.
[0079] The person skilled in the art will appreciate that
substituent groups containing a nitrogen atom can also be indicated
as amine or amino. Similarly, groups containing oxygen atom can
also be indicated with -oxy, like for example alkoxy. Groups
containing --C(O)-- can also be indicated as carboxy; groups
containing --NC(O)--can also be indicated as amide; groups
containing --NC(O)N--can also be indicated as urea; groups
containing --NS(O).sub.2--can also be indicated as sulfonamide.
[0080] Alkyl denotes monovalent, saturated hydrocarbon chains,
which may be present in both linear and branched form. If an alkyl
is substituted, the substitution may take place independently of
one another, by mono- or polysubstitution in each case, on all the
hydrogen-carrying carbon atoms.
[0081] The term "C.sub.1-5-alkyl" includes for example methyl (Me;
--CH.sub.3), ethyl (Et; --CH.sub.2CH.sub.3), 1-propyl (n-propyl;
n-Pr; --CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.3), 2-propyl (i-Pr; iso-propyl;
--CH(CH.sub.3).sub.2), 1-butyl (n-butyl; n-Bu;
--CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.3), 2-methyl-1-propyl (iso-butyl;
i-Bu; --CH.sub.2CH(CH.sub.3).sub.2), 2-butyl (sec-butyl; sec-Bu;
--CH(CH.sub.3)CH.sub.2CH.sub.3), 2-methyl-2-propyl (tert-butyl;
t-Bu; --C(CH.sub.3).sub.3), 1-pentyl (n-pentyl;
--CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.3), 2-pentyl
(--CH(CH.sub.3)CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.3), 3-pentyl

(neo-pentyl; --CH.sub.2C(CH.sub.3).sub.3), 2-methyl-1-butyl
(--CH.sub.2CH(CH.sub.3)CH.sub.2CH.sub.3).
[0082] By the terms propyl, butyl, pentyl, etc. without any further
definition are meant saturated hydrocarbon groups with the
corresponding number of carbon atoms, wherein all isomeric forms
are included.
[0083] The above definition for alkyl also applies if alkyl is a
part of another group such as for example C.sub.x-y-alkylamino or
C.sub.x-y-alkyloxy or C.sub.x-y-alkoxy, wherein C.sub.x-y-alkyloxy
and C.sub.x-y-alkoxy indicate the same group.
[0084] The term alkylene can also be derived from alkyl. Alkylene
is bivalent, unlike alkyl, and requires two binding partners.
Formally, the second valency is produced by removing a hydrogen
atom in an alkyl. Corresponding groups are for example --CH.sub.3
and --CH.sub.2, --CH.sub.2CH.sub.3 and --CH.sub.2CH.sub.2 or
>CHCH.sub.3 etc.
[0085] The term "C.sub.1-4-alkylene" includes for
example--(CH.sub.2)--, --(CH.sub.2--CH.sub.2)--,
--(CH(CH.sub.3))--, --(CH.sub.2--CH.sub.2--CH.sub.2)--,
--(C(CH.sub.3).sub.2)--, --(CH(CH.sub.2CH.sub.3))--,
--(CH(CH.sub.3)--CH.sub.2)--, --(CH.sub.2--CH(CH.sub.3))--,
--(CH.sub.2--CH.sub.2--CH.sub.2--CH.sub.2)--,
--(CH.sub.2--CH.sub.2--CH(CH.sub.3))--,
--(CH(CH.sub.3)--CH.sub.2--CH.sub.2)--,
--(CH.sub.2--CH(CH.sub.3)--CH.sub.2)--,
--(CH.sub.2--C(CH.sub.3).sub.2)--,
--(C(CH.sub.3).sub.2--CH.sub.2)--,
--(CH(CH.sub.3)--CH(CH.sub.3))--,
--(CH.sub.2--CH(CH.sub.2CH.sub.3))--,
--(CH(CH.sub.2CH.sub.3)--CH.sub.2)--,
--(CH(CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.3))--, --(CHCH(CH.sub.3).sub.2)-- and

1,2-dimethylpropylene, 1,3-dimethylpropylene, etc.
[0087] By the generic terms propylene, butylene, pentylene,

conceivable isomeric forms with the corresponding number of carbon
atoms, i.e. propylene includes 1-methylethylene and butylene
includes 1-methylpropylene, 2-methylpropylene, 1,1-dimethylethylene
and 1,2-dimethylethylene.
[0088] The above definition for alkylene also applies if alkylene
is part of another group such as for example in
HO--C.sub.x-y-alkylenamino or H.sub.2N--C.sub.x-y-alkylenoxy.
[0089] Unlike alkyl, alkenyl consists of at least two carbon atoms,
wherein at least two adjacent carbon atoms are joined together by a
C--C double bond. If in an alkyl as hereinbefore defined having at
least two carbon atoms, two hydrogen atoms on adjacent carbon atoms
are formally removed and the free valencies are saturated to form a
second bond, the corresponding alkenyl is formed.
[0090] Examples of alkenyl are vinyl (ethenyl), prop-1-enyl, allyl
(prop-2-enyl), isopropenyl, but-1-enyl, but-2-enyl, but-3-enyl,
2-methyl-prop-2-enyl, 2-methyl-prop-1-enyl, 1-methyl-prop-2-enyl,

[0091] By the generic terms propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl, hexenyl,
butadienyl, pentadienyl, hexadienyl, heptadienyl, octadienyl,
nonadienyl, decadienyl etc. without any further definition are
meant all the conceivable isomeric forms with the corresponding
number of carbon atoms, i.e. propenyl includes prop-1-enyl and
prop-2-enyl, butenyl includes but-1-enyl, but-2-enyl, but-3-enyl,
1-methyl-prop-1-enyl, 1-methyl-prop-2-enyl etc.
[0092] Alkenyl may optionally be present in the cis or trans or E
or Z orientation with regard to the double bond(s).
[0093] The above definition for alkenyl also applies when alkenyl
is part of another group such as for example in
C.sub.x-y-alkenylamino or C.sub.x-y-alkenyloxy.
[0094] Unlike alkylene, alkenylene consists of at least two carbon
atoms, wherein at least two adjacent carbon atoms are joined
together by a C--C double bond. If in an alkylene as hereinbefore
defined having at least two carbon atoms, two hydrogen atoms at
adjacent carbon atoms are formally removed and the free valencies
are saturated to form a second bond, the corresponding alkenylene
is formed.
[0095] Examples of alkenylene are ethenylene, propenylene,
1-methylethenylene, butenylene, 1-methylpropenylene,
1,1-dimethylethenylene, 1,2-dimethylethenylene, pentenylene,
1,1-dimethylpropenylene, 2,2-dimethylpropenylene,
1,2-dimethylpropenylene, 1,3-dimethylpropenylene, hexenylene
etc.
[0096] By the generic terms propenylene, butenylene, pentenylene,
hexenylene etc. without any further definition are meant all the
conceivable isomeric forms with the corresponding number of carbon
atoms, i.e. propenylene includes 1-methylethenylene and butenylene
includes 1-methylpropenylene, 2-methylpropenylene,
1,1-dimethylethenylene and 1,2-dimethylethenylene.
[0097] Alkenylene may optionally be present in the cis or trans or
E or Z orientation with regard to the double bond(s).
[0098] The above definition for alkenylene also applies when
alkenylene is a part of another group as in for example
HO--C.sub.x-y-alkenylenamino or
H.sub.2N--C.sub.x-y-alkenylenoxy.
[0099] Unlike alkyl, alkynyl consists of at least two carbon atoms,
wherein at least two adjacent carbon atoms are joined together by a
C--C triple bond. If in an alkyl as hereinbefore defined having at
least two carbon atoms, two hydrogen atoms in each case at adjacent
carbon atoms are formally removed and the free valencies are
saturated to form two further bonds, the corresponding alkynyl is
formed.
[0100] Examples of alkynyl are ethynyl, prop-1-ynyl, prop-2-ynyl,
but-1-ynyl, but-2-ynyl, but-3-ynyl, 1-methyl-prop-2-ynyl,

but-1-ynyl, but-2-ynyl, but-3-ynyl, 1-methyl-prop-1-ynyl,
1-methyl-prop-2-ynyl.
[0102] If a hydrocarbon chain carries both at least one double bond
and also at least one triple bond, by definition it belongs to the
alkynyl subgroup.
[0103] The above definition for alkynyl also applies if alkynyl is
part of another group, as in C.sub.x-y-alkynylamino or
C.sub.x-y-alkynyloxy, for example.
[0104] Unlike alkylene, alkynylene consists of at least two carbon
atoms, wherein at least two adjacent carbon atoms are joined
together by a C--C triple bond. If in an alkylene as hereinbefore
defined having at least two carbon atoms, two hydrogen atoms in
each case at adjacent carbon atoms are formally removed and the
free valencies are saturated to form two further bonds, the
corresponding alkynylene is formed.
[0105] Examples of alkynylene are ethynylene, propynylene,
1-methylethynylene, butynylene, 1-methylpropynylene,
1,1-dimethylethynylene, 1,2-dimethylethynylene, pentynylene,
1,1-dimethylpropynylene, 2,2-dimethylpropynylene,
1,2-dimethylpropynylene, 1,3-dimethylpropynylene, hexynylene
etc.
[0106] By the generic terms propynylene, butynylene, pentynylene,
etc. without any further definition are meant all the conceivable
isomeric forms with the corresponding number of carbon atoms, i.e.
propynylene includes 1-methylethynylene and butynylene includes
1-methylpropynylene, 2-methylpropynylene, 1,1-dimethylethynylene
and 1,2-dimethylethynylene.
[0107] The above definition for alkynylene also applies if
alkynylene is part of another group, as in
HO--C.sub.x-y-alkynyleneamino or H.sub.2N--C.sub.x-y-alkynyleneoxy,
for example.
[0108] By heteroatoms are meant oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur
atoms.
[0109] Haloalkyl (haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl) is derived from the
previously defined alkyl (alkenyl, alkynyl) by replacing one or
more hydrogen atoms of the hydrocarbon chain independently of one
another by halogen atoms, which may be identical or different. If a
haloalkyl (haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl) is to be further substituted,
the substitutions may take place independently of one another, in
the form of mono- or polysubstitutions in each case, on all the
hydrogen-carrying carbon atoms.
[0110] Examples of haloalkyl (haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl) are
--CF.sub.3, --CHF.sub.2, --CH.sub.2F, --CF.sub.2CF.sub.3,
--CHFCF.sub.3, --CH.sub.2CF.sub.3, --CF.sub.2CH.sub.3,
--CHFCH.sub.3, --CF.sub.2CF.sub.2CF.sub.3,
--CF.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.3, --CF.dbd.CF.sub.2, --CCl.dbd.CH.sub.2,
--CBr.dbd.CH.sub.2, --CI.dbd.CH.sub.2, --C.ident.C--CF.sub.3,
--CHFCH.sub.2CH.sub.3, --CHFCH.sub.2CF.sub.3 etc.
[0111] From the previously defined haloalkyl (haloalkenyl,
haloalkynyl) are also derived the terms haloalkylene
(haloalkenylene, haloalkynylene). Haloalkylene (haloalkenyl,
haloalkynyl), unlike haloalkyl, is bivalent and requires two
binding partners. Formally, the second valency is formed by
removing a hydrogen atom from a haloalkyl.
[0112] Corresponding groups are for example --CH.sub.2F and
--CHF--, --CHFCH.sub.2F and --CHFCHF-- or >CFCH.sub.2F etc.
[0113] The above definitions also apply if the corresponding
halogen groups are part of another group.
[0114] Halogen relates to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and/or iodine
atoms.
[0115] Cycloalkyl is made up of the subgroups monocyclic
hydrocarbon rings, bicyclic hydrocarbon rings and spiro-hydrocarbon
rings. The systems are saturated. In bicyclic hydrocarbon rings two
rings are joined together so that they have at least two carbon
atoms together. In spiro-hydrocarbon rings a carbon atom
(spiroatom) belongs to two rings together. If a cycloalkyl is to be
substituted, the substitutions may take place independently of one
another, in the form of mono- or polysubstitutions in each case, on
all the hydrogen-carrying carbon atoms.
[0116] Cycloalkyl itself may be linked as a substituent to the
molecule via every suitable position of the ring system.
[0117] Examples of cycloalkyl are cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl,
cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, bicyclo[2.2.0]hexyl,
bicyclo[3.2.0]heptyl, bicyclo[3.2.1]octyl, bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl,
bicyclo[4.3.0]nonyl (octahydroindenyl), bicyclo[4.4.0]decyl
(decahydronaphthalene), bicyclo[2.2.1]heptyl (norbornyl),
bicyclo[4.1.0]heptyl (norcaranyl), bicyclo-[3.1.1]heptyl (pinanyl),
spiro[2.5]octyl, spiro[3.3]heptyl etc. The above definition for
cycloalkyl also applies if cycloalkyl is part of another group as
in C.sub.x-y-cycloalkylamino or C.sub.x-y-cycloalkyloxy, for
example.
[0118] If the free valency of a cycloalkyl is saturated, then an
alicyclic group is obtained.
[0119] The term cycloalkylene can thus be derived from the
previously defined cycloalkyl. Cycloalkylene, unlike cycloalkyl, is
bivalent and requires two binding partners. Formally, the second
valency is obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from a cycloalkyl.
Corresponding groups are for example cyclohexyl and
##STR00014##
(cyclohexylene).
[0120] The above definition for cycloalkylene also applies if
cycloalkylene is part of another group as in
HO--C.sub.x-y-cycloalkyleneamino or
H.sub.2N--C.sub.x-y-cycloalkyleneoxy, for example.
[0121] Cycloalkenyl is also made up of the subgroups monocyclic
hydrocarbon rings, bicyclic hydrocarbon rings and spiro-hydrocarbon
rings. However, the systems are unsaturated, i.e. there is at least
one C.dbd.C double bond but no aromatic system. If in a cycloalkyl
as hereinbefore defined two hydrogen atoms at adjacent cyclic
carbon atoms are formally removed and the free valencies are
saturated to form a second bond, the corresponding cycloalkenyl is
obtained. If a cycloalkenyl is to be substituted, the substitutions
may take place independently of one another, in the form of mono-
or polysubstitutions in each case, on all the hydrogen-carrying
carbon atoms. Cycloalkenyl itself may be linked as a substituent to
the molecule via every suitable position of the ring system.
[0122] Examples of cycloalkenyl are cycloprop-1-enyl,
cycloprop-2-enyl, cyclobut-1-enyl, cyclobut-2-enyl,
cyclopent-1-enyl, cyclopent-2-enyl, cyclopent-3-enyl,
cyclohex-1-enyl, cyclohex-2-enyl, cyclohex-3-enyl,
cyclohept-1-enyl, cyclohept-2-enyl, cyclohept-3-enyl,
cyclohept-4-enyl, cyclobuta-1,3-dienyl, cyclopenta-1,4-dienyl,
cyclopenta-1,3-dienyl, cyclopenta-2,4-dienyl, cyclohexa-1,3-dienyl,
cyclohexa-1,5-dienyl, cyclohexa-2,4-dienyl, cyclohexa-1,4-dienyl,
cyclohexa-2,5-dienyl, bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dienyl
(norborna-2,5-dienyl), bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enyl (norbornenyl),
spiro[4.5]dec-2-ene etc.
[0123] The above definition for cycloalkenyl also applies when
cycloalkenyl is part of another group as in
C.sub.x-y-cycloalkenylamino or C.sub.x-y-cycloalkenyloxy, for
example.
[0124] If the free valency of a cycloalkenyl is saturated, then an
unsaturated alicyclic group is obtained.
[0125] The term cycloalkenylene can thus be derived from the
previously defined cycloalkenyl. Cycloalkenylene, unlike
cycloalkenyl, is bivalent and requires two binding partners.
Formally the second valency is obtained by removing a hydrogen atom
from a cycloalkenyl. Corresponding groups are for example
cyclopentenyl and
##STR00015##
(cyclopentenylene) etc.
[0126] The above definition for cycloalkenylene also applies when
cycloalkenylene is part of another group as in
HO--C.sub.x-y-cycloalkenyleneamino or
H.sub.2N--C.sub.x-y-cycloalkenyleneoxy, for example.
[0127] Aryl denotes a mono-, bi- or tricyclic group with at least
one aromatic carbocycle. Preferably it denotes a monocyclic group
with six carbon atoms (phenyl) or a bicyclic group with nine or ten
carbon atoms (two six-membered rings or one six-membered ring with
a five-membered ring), wherein the second ring may also be aromatic
or, however, may also be saturated or partially saturated. If an
aryl is to be substituted, the substitutions may take place
independently of one another, in the form of mono- or
polysubstitutions in each case, on all the hydrogen-carrying carbon
atoms. Aryl itself may be linked as a substituent to the molecule
via every suitable position of the ring system.
[0128] Examples of aryl are phenyl, naphthyl, indanyl
(2,3-dihydroindenyl), indenyl, anthracenyl, phenanthrenyl,
tetrahydronaphthyl (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl, tetralinyl),
dihydronaphthyl (1,2-dihydronaphthyl), fluorenyl etc.
[0129] The above definition of aryl also applies when aryl is part
of another group as in arylamino or aryloxy, for example.
[0130] If the free valency of an aryl is saturated, then an
aromatic group is obtained.
[0131] The term arylene can also be derived from the previously
defined aryl. Arylene, unlike aryl, is bivalent and requires two
binding partners. Formally, the second valency is formed by
removing a hydrogen atom from an aryl. Corresponding groups are
e.g. phenyl and
##STR00016##
(o, m, p-phenylene), naphthyl and
##STR00017##
etc.
[0132] The above definition for arylene also applies when arylene
is part of another group as in HO-aryleneamino or
H.sub.2N-aryleneoxy for example.
[0133] Heterocyclyl denotes ring systems, which are derived from
the previously defined cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl and aryl by
replacing one or more of the groups --CH.sub.2-independently of one
another in the hydrocarbon rings by the groups --O--, --S-- or
--NH-- or by replacing one or more of the groups .dbd.CH-- by the
group .dbd.N--, wherein a total of not more than five heteroatoms
may be present, at least one carbon atom may be present between two
oxygen atoms and between two sulphur atoms or between one oxygen
and one sulphur atom and the ring as a whole must have chemical
stability. Heteroatoms may optionally be present in all the
possible oxidation stages (sulphur.fwdarw.sulphoxide --SO, sulphone
--SO.sub.2--; nitrogen.fwdarw.N-oxide).
[0134] A direct result of the derivation from cycloalkyl,
cycloalkenyl and aryl is that heterocyclyl is made up of the
subgroups monocyclic heterorings, bicyclic heterorings, tricyclic
heterorings and spiro-heterorings, which may be present in
saturated or unsaturated form. Saturated and unsaturated, non
aromatic, heterocyclyl are also defined as heterocycloalkyl. By
unsaturated is meant that there is at least one double bond in the
ring system in question, but no heteroaromatic system is formed. In
bicyclic heterorings two rings are linked together so that they
have at least two (hetero)atoms in common. In spiro-heterorings a
carbon atom (spiroatom) belongs to two rings together. If a
heterocyclyl is substituted, the substitutions may take place
independently of one another, in the form of mono- or
polysubstitutions in each case, on all the hydrogen-carrying carbon
and/or nitrogen atoms. Heterocyclyl itself may be linked as a
substituent to the molecule via every suitable position of the ring
system. When the heterocyclyl has a nitrogen atom, the preferred
position to bind the heterocyclyl substituent to the molecule is
the nitrogen atom.
[0135] Examples of heterocyclyl are tetrahydrofuryl, pyrrolidinyl,
pyrrolinyl, imidazolidinyl, thiazolidinyl, imidazolinyl,
pyrazolidinyl, pyrazolinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, oxiranyl,
aziridinyl, azetidinyl, 1,4-dioxanyl, azepanyl, diazepanyl,
morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, homomorpholinyl, homopiperidinyl,
homopiperazinyl, homothiomorpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl-S-oxide,
thiomorpholinyl-S,S-dioxide, 1,3-dioxolanyl, tetrahydropyranyl,
tetrahydrothiopyranyl, [1.4]-oxazepanyl, tetrahydrothienyl,
homothiomorpholinyl-S,S-dioxide, oxazolidinonyl, dihydropyrazolyl,
dihydropyrrolyl, dihydropyrazinyl, dihydropyridyl,
dihydro-pyrimidinyl, dihydrofuryl, dihydropyranyl,
tetrahydrothienyl-S-oxide, tetrahydrothienyl-S, S-dioxide,
homothiomorpholinyl-S-oxide, 2,3-dihydroazet, 2H-pyrrolyl,
4H-pyranyl, 1,4-dihydropyridinyl, 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octyl,
8-azabicyclo[5.1.0]octyl, 2-oxa-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]-heptyl,
8-oxa-3-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octyl, 3,8-diaza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octyl,
2,5-diaza-bicyclo-[2.2.1]heptyl, 1-aza-bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl,
3,8-diaza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octyl, 3,9-diaza-bicyclo[4.2.1]nonyl,
2,6-diaza-bicyclo[3.2.2]nonyl, 1,4-dioxa-spiro[4.5]-decyl,
1-oxa-3.8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decyl, 2,6-diaza-spiro[3.3]heptyl,
2,7-diaza-spiro[4.4]nonyl, 2,6-diaza-spiro[3.4]octyl,
3,9-diaza-spiro[5.5]undecyl, 2.8-diaza-spiro[4.5]decyl etc.
[0136] Further examples are the structures illustrated below, which
may be attached via each hydrogen-carrying atom (exchanged for
hydrogen):
##STR00018## ##STR00019## ##STR00020##
[0137] The above definition of heterocyclyl also applies if
heterocyclyl is part of another group as in heterocyclylamino or
heterocyclyloxy for example.
[0138] If the free valency of a heteroyclyl is saturated, then a
heterocyclic group is obtained.
[0139] The term heterocyclylene is also derived from the previously
defined heterocyclyl. Heterocyclylene, unlike heterocyclyl, is
bivalent and requires two binding partners. Formally, the second
valency is obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from a
heterocyclyl. Corresponding groups are for example piperidinyl
and
##STR00021##
2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolyl and
##STR00022##
etc.
[0140] The above definition of heterocyclylene also applies if
heterocyclylene is part of another group as in
HO-heterocyclyleneamino or H.sub.2N-heterocyclyleneoxy for
example.
[0141] Heteroaryl denotes monocyclic heteroaromatic rings or
polycyclic rings with at least one heteroaromatic ring, which
compared with the corresponding aryl or cycloalkyl (cycloalkenyl)
contain, instead of one or more carbon atoms, one or more identical
or different heteroatoms, selected independently of one another
from among nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen, wherein the resulting
group must be chemically stable. The prerequisite for the presence
of heteroaryl is a heteroatom and a heteroaromatic system. If a
heteroaryl is to be substituted, the substitutions may take place
independently of one another, in the form of mono- or
polysubstitutions in each case, on all the hydrogen-carrying carbon
and/or nitrogen atoms. Heteroaryl itself may be linked as a
substituent to the molecule via every suitable position of the ring
system, both carbon and nitrogen.
[0142] Examples of heteroaryl are furyl, thienyl, pyrrolyl,
oxazolyl, thiazolyl, isoxazolyl, isothiazolyl, pyrazolyl,
imidazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl,
pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, triazinyl,
pyridyl-N-oxide, pyrrolyl-N-oxide, pyrimidinyl-N-oxide,
pyridazinyl-N-oxide, pyrazinyl-N-oxide, imidazolyl-N-oxide,
isoxazolyl-N-oxide, oxazolyl-N-oxide, thiazolyl-N-oxide,
oxadiazolyl-N-oxide, thiadiazolyl-N-oxide, triazolyl-N-oxide,
tetrazolyl-N-oxide, indolyl, isoindolyl, benzofuryl, benzothienyl,
benzoxazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzisoxazolyl, benzisothiazolyl,
benzimidazolyl, indazolyl, isoquinolinyl, quinolinyl, quinoxalinyl,
cinnolinyl, phthalazinyl, quinazolinyl, benzotriazinyl,
indolizinyl, oxazolopyridyl, imidazopyridyl, naphthyridinyl,
benzoxazolyl, pyridopyridyl, purinyl, pteridinyl, benzothiazolyl,
imidazopyridyl, imidazothiazolyl, quinolinyl-N-oxide,
indolyl-N-oxide, isoquinolyl-N-oxide, quinazolinyl-N-oxide,
quinoxalinyl-N-oxide, phthalazinyl-N-oxide, indolizinyl-N-oxide,
indazolyl-N-oxide, benzothiazolyl-N-oxide, benzimidazolyl-N-oxide
etc.
[0143] Further examples are the structures illustrated below, which
may be attached via each hydrogen-carrying atom (exchanged for
hydrogen):
##STR00023## ##STR00024##
[0144] The above definition of heteroaryl also applies when
heteroaryl is part of another group as in heteroarylamino or
heteroaryloxy, for example.
[0145] If the free valency of a heteroaryl is saturated, a
heteroaromatic group is obtained.
[0146] The term heteroarylene can therefore be derived from the
previously defined heteroaryl. Heteroarylene, unlike heteroaryl, is
bivalent and requires two binding partners. Formally, the second
valency is obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from a heteroaryl.
Corresponding groups are for example pyrrolyl and
##STR00025##
etc.
[0147] The above definition of heteroarylene also applies when
heteroarylene is part of another group as in HO-heteroaryleneamino
or H.sub.2N-heteroaryleneoxy, for example.
[0148] The bivalent groups mentioned above (alkylene, alkenylene,
alkynylene etc.) may also be part of composite groups (e.g.
H.sub.2N--C.sub.1-4alkylene- or HO--C.sub.1-4alkylene-). In this
case one of the valencies is saturated by the attached group (here:
--NH.sub.2, --OH), so that a composite group of this kind written
in this way is only a monovalent substituent over all.
[0149] By substituted is meant that a hydrogen atom which is bound
directly to the atom under consideration, is replaced by another
atom or another group of atoms (substituent). Depending on the
starting conditions (number of hydrogen atoms) mono- or
polysubstitution may take place on one atom. Substitution with a
particular substituent is only possible if the permitted valencies
of the substituent and of the atom that is to be substituted
correspond to one another and the substitution leads to a stable
compound (i.e. to a compound which is not converted spontaneously,
e.g. by rearrangement, cyclisation or elimination).
[0150] Bivalent substituents such as .dbd.S, .dbd.NR, .dbd.NOR,
.dbd.NNRR, .dbd.NN(R)C(O)NRR, .dbd.N.sub.2 or the like, may only be
substituted at carbon atoms, wherein the bivalent substituent
.dbd.O may also be a substituent at sulphur. Generally,
substitution may be carried out by a bivalent substituent only at
ring systems and requires replacement by two geminal hydrogen
atoms, i.e. hydrogen atoms that are bound to the same carbon atom
that is saturated prior to the substitution. Substitution by a
bivalent substituent is therefore only possible at the group
--CH.sub.2-- or sulphur atoms of a ring system.
[0151] "Substituted with one or more groups" means that the group
is substituted with one, two, three, four, five or more groups
depending on the valency of the group which is substituted. The
skilled person will have no difficulties to establish how many
hydrogens can be substituted in a group. Preferably, the referred
group is substituted with one, two or three further groups. More
preferably, the group is substituted with one or two groups.
Stereochemistry/Solvates/Hydrates:
[0152] Unless stated otherwise a structural formula given in the
description or in the claims or a chemical name refers to the
corresponding compound itself, but also encompasses the tautomers,
stereoisomers, optical and geometric isomers (e.g. enantiomers,
diastereomers, E/Z isomers, etc.), racemates, mixtures of separate
enantiomers in any desired combinations, mixtures of diastereomers,
mixtures of the forms mentioned hereinbefore (if such forms exist)
as well as salts, particularly pharmaceutically acceptable salts
thereof. The compounds and salts according to the invention may be
present in solvated form (e.g. with pharmaceutically acceptable
solvents such as e.g. water, ethanol etc.) or in unsolvated form.
Generally, for the purposes of the present invention the solvated
forms, e.g. hydrates, are to be regarded as of equal value to the
unsolvated forms.
Salts:
[0153] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" is used herein to
denote compounds, materials, compositions and/or formulations which
are suitable, according to generally recognised medical opinion,
for use in conjunction with human and/or animal tissue and do not
have or give rise to any excessive toxicity, irritation or immune
response or lead to other problems or complications, i.e.
correspond overall to an acceptable risk/benefit ratio.
[0154] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" relates to
derivatives of the chemical compounds disclosed in which the parent
compound is modified by the addition of acid or base. Examples of
pharmaceutically acceptable salts include (without being restricted
thereto) salts of mineral or organic acids in relation to basic
functional groups such as for example amines, alkali metal or
organic salts of acid functional groups such as for example
carboxylic acids, etc. These salts include in particular acetate,
ascorbate, benzenesulphonate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate,
bitartrate, bromide/hydrobromide, Ca-edetate/edetate, camsylate,
carbonate, chloride/hydrochloride, citrate, edisylate, ethane
disulphonate, estolate, esylate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate,
glutamate, glycolate, glycollylarsnilate, hexylresorcinate,
hydrabamine, hydroxymaleate, hydroxynaphthoate, iodide,
isothionate, lactate, lactobionate, malate, maleate, mandelate,
methanesulphonate, mesylate, methylbromide, methylnitrate,
methylsulphate, mucate, napsylate, nitrate, oxalate, pamoate,
pantothenate, phenyl acetate, phosphate/diphosphate,
polygalacturonate, propionate, salicylate, stearate, subacetate,
succinate, sulphamide, sulphate, tannate, tartrate, teoclate,
toluenesulphonate, triethiodide, ammonium, benzathine,
chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumin
and procaine. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be formed
with cations of metals such as aluminium, calcium, lithium,
magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc, etc. (cf. also Pharmaceutical
salts, Birge, S. M. et al., J. Pharm. Sci., (1977), 66, 1-19).
[0155] The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present
invention may be prepared starting from the parent compound which
carries a basic or acidic functionality, by conventional chemical
methods. Generally, such salts may be synthesised by reacting the
free acid or base form of these compounds with a sufficient amount
of the corresponding base or acid in water or an organic solvent
such as for example ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol,
acetonitrile (or mixtures thereof).
[0156] Salts of acids other than those mentioned above, which are
useful for example for purifying or isolating the compounds from
the reaction mixtures (e.g. trifluoroacetates), are also to be
regarded as part of the invention.
[0157] In a representation such as for example
##STR00026##
the letter A has the function of a ring designation in order to
make it easier, for example, to indicate the attachment of the ring
in question to other rings.
[0158] For bivalent groups in which it is crucial to determine
which adjacent groups they bind and with which valency, the
corresponding binding partners are indicated in brackets, where
necessary for clarification purposes, as in the following
representations:
##STR00027##
[0159] Groups or substituents are frequently selected from among a
number of alternative groups/substituents with a corresponding
group designation (e.g. R.sup.a, R.sup.b etc). If such a group is
used repeatedly to define a compound according to the invention in
different molecular parts, it must always be borne in mind that the
various uses are to be regarded as totally independent of one
another.
[0160] By a therapeutically effective amount for the purposes of
this invention is meant a quantity of substance that is capable of
obviating symptoms of illness or of preventing or alleviating these
symptoms, or which prolong the survival of a treated patient.

[0162] Other features and advantages of the present invention will
become apparent from the following more detailed Examples which
exemplarily illustrate the principles of the invention without
restricting its scope.
General
[0163] Unless stated otherwise, all the reactions are carried out
in commercially obtainable apparatus using methods that are
commonly used in chemical laboratories. Starting materials that are
sensitive to air and/or moisture are stored under protective gas
and corresponding reactions and manipulations therewith are carried
out under protective gas (nitrogen or argon).
[0164] The compounds are named according to the Beilstein rules
using the Autonom software (Beilstein). If a compound is to be
represented both by a structural formula and by its nomenclature,
in the event of a conflict the structural formula is decisive.
Chromatography
[0165] Thin layer chromatography is carried out on ready-made TLC
plates of silica gel 60 on glass (with fluorescence indicator
F-254) made by Merck.
[0166] The preparative high pressure chromatography (HPLC) of the
example compounds according to the invention is carried out with
columns made by Waters (names: Sunfire C18 OBD, 10 .mu.m,
30.times.100 mm Part. No. 186003971; X-Bridge C18 OBD, 10 .mu.m,
30.times.100 mm Part. No. 186003930). The compounds are eluted
using different gradients of H.sub.2O/ACN wherein 0.2% HCOOH is
added to the water (acid conditions). For chromatography under
basic conditions the water is made basic according to the following
recipe: 5 ml of ammonium hydrogen carbonate solution (158 g to 1 L
H.sub.2O) and 2 ml 32% ammonia.sub.(aq) are made up to 1 L with
H.sub.2O.
[0167] The analytical HPLC (reaction monitoring) of intermediate
compounds is carried out with columns made by Waters and
Phenomenex. The analytical equipment is also provided with a mass
detector in each case.
HPLC Mass Spectroscopy/UV Spectrometry
[0168] The retention times/MS-ESI.sup.+ for characterising the
example compounds according to the invention are produced using an
HPLC-MS apparatus (high performance liquid chromatography with mass
detector) made by Agilent. Compounds that elute at the injection
peak are given the retention time t.sub.Ret.=0.

[0171] The compounds according to the invention are prepared by the
methods of synthesis described hereinafter, in which the
substituents of the general formula have the meanings given
hereinbefore. These methods are intended as an illustration of the
invention, without restricting its subject matter and the scope of
the compounds claimed to these examples. Where the preparation of
starting compounds is not described, they are commercially
obtainable or may be prepared analogously to known compounds or
methods described herein. Substances described in the literature
are prepared according to the published methods of synthesis.
[0172] Unless otherwise specified, the substituents R.sup.1 through
R.sup.3 and X.sub.1 through X.sub.6 of the following reaction
schemes are as defined in the description and claims.
##STR00028##
[0173] The synthesis of key intermediate D from starting material A
is illustrated in Scheme 1.

X.sub.1.dbd.CH, X.sub.2.dbd.N, Hal=Br; R.sup.1, R.sup.2.dbd.H,
X.sub.1.dbd.CH, X.sub.2.dbd.N, Hal=Br), B (e.g. R.sup.1,
R.sup.2=Me, X.sub.1.dbd.N, X.sub.2.dbd.CH, Hal=Cl) or D (e.g.
R.sup.1=Me, R.sup.2.dbd.H, X.sub.1, X.sub.2.dbd.CH; R.sup.1=Me,
R.sup.2.dbd.NO.sub.2, X.sub.1, X.sub.2.dbd.CH; R.sup.1=Me,
R.sup.2.dbd.H, X.sub.1.dbd.N, X.sub.2.dbd.CH) are commercially
available. Starting from A, an alkylation can be used to introduce
R.sup.1, which leads to B. Compound C can be synthesized applying a
carbonylation reaction using carbon monoxide. After cleavage of the
ester the central intermediate D can be obtained.
[0175] The synthesis of compounds of formula I-IV from key
intermediate D and E-1-E-4 is illustrated in Scheme 2 and Scheme
3.
##STR00030##
[0176] The acid D is activated using the typical reagents (e.g.
TBTU or HATU) or by in situ reaction to the acid chloride. The
activated acid is than coupled with the corresponding aromatic
diamine E-1-E-4 followed by a ring closing reaction using acetic
acid or poly phosphoric acid.
##STR00031##
[0177] The acid D is activated using the typical reagents (e.g.
TBTU or HATU) or by in situ reaction to the acid chloride. The
activated acid is than coupled with the corresponding aromatic
diamine E-4 followed by a ring closing reaction using acetic acid
or poly phosphoric acid. Reduction of the nitro group leads to the
final compounds of the type (V). Reductive amination, alkylation or
formamide generation/reduction generates compounds of the type
(VI).

Biological Methods
BRD4-H4 Tetraacetylated Peptide Inhibition AlphaScreen
[0378] This assay is used to determine whether the compounds
inhibit the interaction between the first (BRD4-BD1) or the second
(BRD4-BD2) bromodomain of BRD4 and the tetraacetylated histone H4
peptide.
[0379] Compounds are diluted in serial dilution 1:5 in assay buffer
from 10 mM stock in DMSO (100 .mu.M start concentration) in white
OptiPlate-384 (PerkinElmer). A mix consisting of 15 nM GST-BRD4-BD1
protein (aa 44-168) or 150 nM GST-BRD4-BD2 (aa 333-460) and 15 nM
biotinylated Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys5, 8, 12, 16) peptide is
prepared in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES pH=7.4; 25 mM NaCl; 0.05%
Tween 20; 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA); 10 mM dithiothreitol
(DTT)). 6 .mu.l of the mix is added to the compound dilutions.
Subsequently, 6 .mu.l of premixed AlphaLISA Glutathione Acceptor
Beads and AlphaScreen Streptavidin Donor Beads from PerkinElmer (in
assay buffer at a concentration of 10 .mu.g/ml each) are added and
the samples are incubated for 30 min at RT in the dark (shaking 300
rpm). Afterwards, the signal is measured in a PerkinElmer Envision
HTS Multilabel Reader using the AlphaScreen protocol from
PerkinElmer.
[0380] Each plate contains negative controls where biotinylated
Acetyl-Histone H4 peptide and GST-BRD4-BD1 or GST-BRD4-BD2 are left
out and replaced by assay buffer. Negative control values are
entered as low basis value when using the software GraphPad Prism
for calculations. Furthermore, a positive control (probe molecule
JQ1+ with protein/peptide mix) is pipetted. Determination of
IC.sub.50 values are carried out using GraphPad Prism 3.03 software
(or updates thereof).

[0389] Suitable preparations include for example tablets, capsules,
suppositories, solutions--particularly solutions for injection
(s.c., i.v., i.m.) and infusion--elixirs, emulsions or dispersible
powders. The content of the pharmaceutically active compound(s)
should be in the range from 0.1 to 90 wt.-%, preferably 0.5 to 50
wt.-% of the composition as a whole, i.e. in amounts which are
sufficient to achieve the dosage range specified below. The doses
specified may, if necessary, be given several times a day.
[0390] Suitable tablets may be obtained, for example, by mixing the
active substance(s) with known excipients, for example inert
diluents such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or lactose,
disintegrants such as corn starch or alginic acid, binders such as
starch or gelatine, lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc
and/or agents for delaying release, such as carboxymethyl
cellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate, or polyvinyl acetate. The
tablets may also comprise several layers.
[0391] Coated tablets may be prepared accordingly by coating cores
produced analogously to the tablets with substances normally used
for tablet coatings, for example collidone or shellac, gum arabic,
talc, titanium dioxide or sugar. To achieve delayed release or
prevent incompatibilities the core may also consist of a number of
layers. Similarly the tablet coating may consist of a number of
layers to achieve delayed release, possibly using the excipients
mentioned above for the tablets.
[0392] Syrups or elixirs containing the active substances or
combinations thereof according to the invention may additionally
contain a sweetener such as saccharine, cyclamate, glycerol or
sugar and a flavour enhancer, e.g. a flavouring such as vanillin or
orange extract. They may also contain suspension adjuvants or
thickeners such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, wetting agents
such as, for example, condensation products of fatty alcohols with
ethylene oxide, or preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates.
[0393] Solutions for injection and infusion are prepared in the
usual way, e.g. with the addition of isotonic agents, preservatives
such as p-hydroxybenzoates, or stabilisers such as alkali metal
salts of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, optionally using
emulsifiers and/or dispersants, whilst if water is used as the
diluent, for example, organic solvents may optionally be used as
solvating agents or dissolving aids, and transferred into injection
vials or ampoules or infusion bottles.
[0394] Capsules containing one or more active substances or
combinations of active substances may for example be prepared by
mixing the active substances with inert carriers such as lactose or
sorbitol and packing them into gelatine capsules.
[0395] Suitable suppositories may be made for example by mixing
with carriers provided for this purpose, such as neutral fats or
polyethyleneglycol or the derivatives thereof.
[0396] Excipients which may be used include, for example, water,
pharmaceutically acceptable organic solvents such as paraffins
(e.g. petroleum fractions), vegetable oils (e.g. groundnut or
sesame oil), mono- or polyfunctional alcohols (e.g. ethanol or
glycerol), carriers such as e.g. natural mineral powders (e.g.
kaolins, clays, talc, chalk), synthetic mineral powders (e.g.
highly dispersed silicic acid and silicates), sugars (e.g. cane
sugar, lactose and glucose) emulsifiers (e.g. lignin, spent
sulphite liquors, methylcellulose, starch and polyvinylpyrrolidone)
and lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc, stearic acid and
sodium lauryl sulphate).
[0397] The preparations are administered by the usual methods,
preferably by oral or transdermal route, most preferably by oral
route. For oral administration the tablets may, of course contain,
apart from the abovementioned carriers, additives such as sodium
citrate, calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate together with
various additives such as starch, preferably potato starch,
gelatine and the like. Moreover, lubricants such as magnesium
stearate, sodium lauryl sulphate and talc may be used at the same
time for the tabletting process. In the case of aqueous suspensions
the active substances may be combined with various flavour
enhancers or colourings in addition to the excipients mentioned
above.
[0398] For parenteral use, solutions of the active substances with
suitable liquid carriers may be used.
[0399] However, it may sometimes be necessary to depart from the
amounts specified, depending on the body weight, the route of
administration, the individual response to the drug, the nature of
its formulation and the time or interval over which the drug is
administered. Thus, in some cases it may be sufficient to use less
than the minimum dose given above, whereas in other cases the upper
limit may have to be exceeded. When administering large amounts it
may be advisable to divide them up into a number of smaller doses
spread over the day.
[0400] The formulation examples which follow illustrate the present
invention without restricting its scope:
Examples of Pharmaceutical Formulations
TABLE-US-00016 [0401] A) Tablets per tablet active substance
according to formula (I) 100 mg lactose 140 mg corn starch 240 mg
polyvinylpyrrolidone 15 mg magnesium stearate 5 mg 500 mg
[0402] The finely ground active substance, lactose and some of the
corn starch are mixed together. The mixture is screened, then
moistened with a solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone in water,
kneaded, wet-granulated and dried. The granules, the remaining corn
starch and the magnesium stearate are screened and mixed together.
The mixture is compressed to produce tablets of suitable shape and
size.
TABLE-US-00017 B) Tablets per tablet active substance according to
formula (I) 80 mg lactose 55 mg corn starch 190 mg microcrystalline
cellulose 35 mg polyvinylpyrrolidone 15 mg sodium-carboxymethyl
starch 23 mg magnesium stearate 2 mg 400 mg
[0403] The finely ground active substance, some of the corn starch,
lactose, microcrystalline cellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone are
mixed together, the mixture is screened and worked with the
remaining corn starch and water to form a granulate which is dried
and screened. The sodiumcarboxymethyl starch and the magnesium
stearate are added and mixed in and the mixture is compressed to
form tablets of a suitable size.
TABLE-US-00018 C) Ampoule solution active substance according to
formula (I) 50 mg sodium chloride 50 mg water for inj. 5 ml
[0404] The active substance is dissolved in water at its own pH or
optionally at pH 5.5 to 6.5 and sodium chloride is added to make it
isotonic. The solution obtained is filtered free from pyrogens and
the filtrate is transferred under aseptic conditions into ampoules
which are then sterilised and sealed by fusion. The ampoules
contain 5 mg, 25 mg and 50 mg of active substance.
