Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This continuation application claims the priority benefit of
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/921,347 filed Oct. 23, 2015,
which claims the benefit of U.S. Application Ser. No. 62/068,225,
filed Oct. 24, 2014, which is incorporated herein it its
entirety.
DESCRIPTION
[0002] The present invention generally relates to indole
carboxamide compounds useful as kinase inhibitors, including the
modulation of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) and other Tec family
kinases such as Itk. Provided herein are indole carboxamide
compounds, compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of
their use. The invention further pertains to pharmaceutical
compositions containing at least one compound according to the
invention that are useful for the treatment of conditions related
to kinase modulation and methods of inhibiting the activity of
kinases, including Btk and other Tec family kinases such as Itk, in
a mammal.
[0003] Protein kinases, the largest family of human enzymes,
encompass well over 500 proteins. Btk is a member of the Tec family
of tyrosine kinases, and is a regulator of early B-cell
development, as well as mature B-cell activation, signaling, and
survival.
[0004] B-cell signaling through the B-cell receptor (BCR) leads to
a wide range of biological outputs, which in turn depend on the
developmental stage of the B-cell. The magnitude and duration of
BCR signals must be precisely regulated. Aberrant BCR-mediated
signaling can cause disregulated B-cell activation and/or the
formation of pathogenic auto-antibodies leading to multiple
autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases. Mutation of Btk in humans
results in X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA). This disease is
associated with the impaired maturation of B-cells, diminished
immunoglobulin production, compromised T-cell-independent immune
responses and marked attenuation of the sustained calcium signal
upon BCR stimulation.
[0005] Evidence for the role of Btk in allergic disorders and/or
autoimmune disease and/or inflammatory disease has been established
in Btk-deficient mouse models. For example, in standard murine
preclinical models of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Btk
deficiency has been shown to result in a marked amelioration of
disease progression. Moreover, Btk deficient mice are also
resistant to developing collagen-induced arthritis and are less
susceptible to Staphylococcus-induced arthritis.
[0006] A large body of evidence supports the role of B-cells and
the humoral immune system in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and/or
inflammatory diseases. Protein-based therapeutics such as
rituximab, developed to deplete B-cells, represent an important
approach to the treatment of a number of autoimmune and/or
inflammatory diseases. Because of Btk's role in B-cell activation,
inhibitors of Btk can be useful as inhibitors of B-cell mediated
pathogenic activity (such as autoantibody production).
[0007] Btk is also expressed in mast cells and monocytes and has
been shown to be important for the function of these cells. For
example, Btk deficiency in mice is associated with impaired
IgE-mediated mast cell activation (marked diminution of TNF-alpha
and other inflammatory cytokine release), and Btk deficiency in
humans is associated with greatly reduced TNF-alpha production by
activated monocytes.
[0008] Thus, inhibition of Btk activity can be useful for the
treatment of allergic disorders and/or autoimmune and/or
inflammatory diseases including, but not limited to: SLE,
rheumatoid arthritis, multiple vasculitides, idiopathic
thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), myasthenia gravis, allergic
rhinitis, multiple sclerosis (MS), transplant rejection, type I
diabetes, membranous nephritis, inflammatory bowel disease,
autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thyroiditis, cold and warm
agglutinin diseases, Evans syndrome, hemolytic uremic
syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (HUS/TTP),
sarcoidosis, Sjogren's syndrome, peripheral neuropathies (e.g.,
Guillain-Barre syndrome), pemphigus vulgaris, and asthma.
[0009] In addition, Btk has been reported to play a role in
controlling B-cell survival in certain B-cell cancers. For example,
Btk has been shown to be important for the survival of
BCR-Abl-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. Thus
inhibition of Btk activity can be useful for the treatment of
B-cell lymphoma and leukemia.
[0010] In view of the numerous conditions that are contemplated to
benefit by treatment involving modulation of protein kinases, it is
immediately apparent that new compounds capable of modulating
protein kinases such as Btk and methods of using these compounds
should provide substantial therapeutic benefits to a wide variety
of patients.
[0011] U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,084,620 and 8,685,969 disclose tricyclic
carboxamide compounds useful as kinase inhibitors, including the
modulation of Btk and other Tec family kinases.
[0012] There still remains a need for compounds useful as Btk
inhibitors. Applicants have found potent compounds that have
activity as Btk inhibitors. These compounds are provided to be
useful as pharmaceuticals with desirable stability,
bioavailability, therapeutic index, and toxicity values that are
important to this utility.

[0105] A compound that inhibits an enzyme by reacting with the
enzyme to form a covalent bond can offer advantages over a compound
that does not form such a covalent bond. (See, for example, Liu, Q.
et al., Chem. Biol., 20:146 (2013); Barf, T. et al., J. Med. Chem.,
55:6243 (2012); Kalgutkar, A. et al., Expert Opin. Drug Discov.,
7:561 (2012); and Garuti, L. et al., Curr. Med. Chem., 18:2981
(2011); and references cited therein). A compound that does not
form a covalent bond can dissociate from the enzyme, releasing the
enzyme from the inhibition resulting from its binding. Such
reversible inhibition may require a relatively high and continuous
concentration of the inhibitory compound to drive the binding
equilibrium toward sufficient enzyme occupancy by the inhibitor to
achieve useful enzyme inhibition. A higher concentration of the
compound could require administration of a higher dose of the
compound to a mammal in need of such inhibition, and at a higher
concentration the inhibitor could have undesired effects due to
inhibition of other, non-targeted enzymes. Such off-target
inhibition could include toxicity. Additionally, more frequent
dosing may be required since the inhibitory compound, after
dissociation from the target enzyme, can be removed from the body
by metabolism and/or elimination, lowering the concentration
available to achieve inhibition of the target enzyme.
[0106] In contrast, an inhibitor that forms a covalent bond with
its target enzyme irreversibly inhibits the enzyme. The
irreversible inhibition would result from either slow or negligible
dissociation of the inhibitor, since such dissociation would
require breaking a covalent bond. If the affinity of such a
covalent inhibitor for its target enzyme is sufficiently great
relative to affinities for other, off-target enzymes, a
significantly lower concentration of the inhibitor can result in
useful inhibition relative to a concentration required for
reversible inhibition. The lower concentration could reduce the
likelihood of undesired off-target inhibition and potential
toxicity. Also, since the covalent inhibitor can bind essentially
irreversibly to the target enzyme, the free (non-bound)
concentration of the inhibitor can become extremely low as
non-bound inhibitor is removed from the body by metabolism and/or
elimination, even while useful enzyme inhibition is maintained.
This can reduce the likelihood of undesired effects. Additionally,
since the enzyme can be irreversibly inhibited, less frequent
dosing may be required to achieve useful inhibition.
[0107] Certain reactive functional groups can be attached to a
compound with good affinity for the target enzyme, which will allow
formation of covalent bond with a functional group in the target
enzyme. For example, an electrophilic group such as a vinylic or
acetylenic group attached to an electron-withdrawing group such as
a ketone, amide, sulfone, sulfonamide, or an electron-withdrawing
heterocyclic ring such as a pyridyl ring can react with a
nucleophilic group present in the target enzyme, such as the thiol
or thiolate group of a cysteine residue, to form a covalent bond.
Such a reaction can be essentially irreversible under normal
physiological conditions. In order for such a reaction to be
achieved, the inhibitor compound must bind to the target enzyme and
present the attached electrophilic group in a correct spatial
orientation to allow favorable interaction with the attacking
nucleophile. If the orientation is not correct, the covalent bond
may not easily form, and the desired irreversible inhibition may
not be achieved. In this case, the compound would behave like a
reversible inhibitor and the benefits of irreversible inhibition
may not be realized. Also, if the orientation of the electrophile
on the bound inhibitor is not suitable for reaction with the
nucleophilic group of the target enzyme, the inhibitor will be
capable of dissociation from the target enzyme, resulting in a
higher concentration of the inhibitor and a greater likelihood that
the reactive electrophilic group can react with other, non-target
nucleophiles and cause undesired effects such as toxicity.

[0116] The present invention may be embodied in other specific
forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes
thereof. This invention encompasses all combinations of the aspects
and/or embodiments of the invention noted herein. It is understood
that any and all embodiments of the present invention may be taken
in conjunction with any other embodiment or embodiments to describe
additional embodiments. It is also to be understood that each
individual element of the embodiments is meant to be combined with
any and all other elements from any embodiment to describe an
additional embodiment.
Definitions
[0117] The features and advantages of the invention may be more
readily understood by those of ordinary skill in the art upon
reading the following detailed description. It is to be appreciated
that certain features of the invention that are, for clarity
reasons, described above and below in the context of separate
embodiments, may also be combined to form a single embodiment.
Conversely, various features of the invention that are, for brevity
reasons, described in the context of a single embodiment, may also
be combined so as to form sub-combinations thereof. Embodiments
identified herein as exemplary or preferred are intended to be
illustrative and not limiting.
[0118] Unless specifically stated otherwise herein, references made
in the singular may also include the plural. For example, "a" and
"an" may refer to either one, or one or more.
[0119] As used herein, the phase "compounds" refers to at least one
compound. For example, a compound of Formula (I) includes a
compound of Formula (I) and two or more compounds of Formula
(I).
[0120] Unless otherwise indicated, any heteroatom with unsatisfied
valences is assumed to have hydrogen atoms sufficient to satisfy
the valences.
[0121] The definitions set forth herein take precedence over
definitions set forth in any patent, patent application, and/or
patent application publication incorporated herein by
reference.
[0122] Listed below are definitions of various terms used to
describe the present invention. These definitions apply to the
terms as they are used throughout the specification (unless they
are otherwise limited in specific instances) either individually or
as part of a larger group.
[0123] Throughout the specification, groups and substituents
thereof may be chosen by one skilled in the field to provide stable
moieties and compounds.
[0124] In accordance with a convention used in the art
##STR00031##
is used in structural formulas herein to depict the bond that is
the point of attachment of the moiety or substituent to the core or
backbone structure.
[0125] The term "alkyl" as used herein, refers to both branched and
straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups containing,
for example, from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, from 1 to 6 carbon atoms,
and from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Examples of alkyl groups include, but
are not limited to, methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (e.g., n-propyl
and i-propyl), butyl (e.g., n-butyl, i-butyl, sec-butyl, and
t-butyl), and pentyl (e.g., n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl),
n-hexyl, 2-methylpentyl, 2-ethylbutyl, 3-methylpentyl, and
4-methylpentyl. When numbers appear in a subscript after the symbol
"C", the subscript defines with more specificity the number of
carbon atoms that a particular group may contain. For example,
"C.sub.1-4alkyl" denotes straight and branched chain alkyl groups
with one to four carbon atoms.
[0126] The term "hydroxyalkyl" refers to both branched and
straight-chain saturated alkyl groups substituted with one or more
hydroxyl groups. For example, "hydroxyalkyl" includes --CH.sub.2OH,
--CH.sub.2CH.sub.2OH, and C.sub.1-4 hydroxyalkyl. "C.sub.1-4
hydroxyalkyl" is intended to include C.sub.1, C.sub.2, C.sub.3, and
C.sub.4 alkyl groups substituted with one or more hydroxyl
groups.
[0127] As used herein, "alkylene" refers to a bivalent alkyl
radical having the general formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.n--, where n is
1 to 10. Non-limiting examples include methylene, dimethylene,
trimethylene, tetramethylene, pentamethylene, and hexamethylene.
For example, "C.sub.1-6 alkylene" denotes straight and branched
chain alkylene groups with one to six carbon atoms. Further, for
example, "C.sub.0-4 alkylene" denotes a bond and straight and
branched chain alkylene groups with one to four carbon atoms.
[0128] The term "cyano" refers to the group --CN.
[0129] The term "cycloalkyl", as used herein, refers to a group
derived from a non-aromatic monocyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbon
molecule by removal of one hydrogen atom from a saturated ring
carbon atom. Representative examples of cycloalkyl groups include,
but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl.
When numbers appear in a subscript after the symbol "C", the
subscript defines with more specificity the number of carbon atoms
that a particular cycloalkyl group may contain. For example,
"C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl" denotes cycloalkyl groups with three to six
carbon atoms.
[0130] The term "cycloalkenyl", as used herein, refers to a cyclic
hydrocarbons ring having 1 double bond. For example, "C.sub.5-6
cycloalkenyl" denotes cyclopentenyl and cyclohexenyl.
[0131] The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" is employed herein
to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage
forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment,
suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and
animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response,
or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable
benefit/risk ratio.
[0132] The compounds of Formula (I) can be provided as amorphous
solids or crystalline solids. Lyophilization can be employed to
provide the compounds of Formula (I) as amorphous solids.
[0133] Certain compounds of Formula (I) may exist in a free form
(with no ionization) or can form salts which are also within the
scope of this invention. Unless otherwise indicated, reference to
an inventive compound is understood to include reference to the
free form and to salts thereof. The term "salt(s)" denotes acidic
salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids. Pharmaceutically
acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salts are
preferred, such as, for example, salts in which the anion does not
contribute significantly to the toxicity or biological activity of
the salt. However, other salts may be useful, e.g., in isolation or
purification steps which may be employed during preparation, and
thus, are contemplated within the scope of the invention. Salts of
the compounds of the Formula (I) may be formed, for example, by
reacting a compound of the Formula (I) with an amount of acid such
as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt
precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by
lyophilization.
[0134] Exemplary acid addition salts include acetates (such as
those formed with acetic acid or trihaloacetic acid, for example,
trifluoroacetic acid), adipates, alginates, ascorbates, aspartates,
benzoates, benzenesulfonates, bisulfates, borates, butyrates,
citrates, camphorates, camphorsulfonates, cyclopentanepropionates,
digluconates, dodecylsulfates, ethanesulfonates, fumarates,
glucoheptanoates, glycerophosphates, hemisulfates, heptanoates,
hexanoates, hydrochlorides (formed with hydrochloric acid),
hydrobromides (formed with hydrogen bromide), hydroiodides,
2-hydroxyethanesulfonates, lactates, maleates (formed with maleic
acid), methanesulfonates (formed with methanesulfonic acid),
2-naphthalenesulfonates, nicotinates, nitrates, oxalates,
pectinates, persulfates, 3-phenylpropionates, phosphates, picrates,
pivalates, propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates (such as
those formed with sulfuric acid), sulfonates (such as those
mentioned herein), tartrates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates such
as tosylates, undecanoates, and the like.
[0135] It should further be understood that solvates (e.g.,
hydrates) of the compounds of Formula (I) are also within the scope
of the present invention. The term "solvate" means a physical
association of a compound of Formula (I) with one or more solvent
molecules, whether organic or inorganic. This physical association
includes hydrogen bonding. In certain instances the solvate will be
capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent
molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the
crystalline solid. "Solvate" encompasses both solution-phase and
insoluble solvates. Exemplary solvates include hydrates,
ethanolates, methanolates, isopropanolates, acetonitrile solvates,
and ethyl acetate solvates. Methods of solvation are known in the
art.
[0136] Various forms of prodrugs are well known in the art and are
described in:
[0137] a) Wermuth, C. G. et al., The Practice of Medicinal
Chemistry, Chapter 31, Academic Press (1996);
[0138] b) Bundgaard, H. ed., Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier
(1985);
[0139] c) Bundgaard, H., Chapter 5, "Design and Application of
Prodrugs", A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, pp. 113-191,

(1991); and
[0140] d) Testa, B. et al., Hydrolysis in Drug and Prodrug
Metabolism, Wiley-VCH (2003).
[0141] In addition, compounds of Formula (I), subsequent to their
preparation, can be isolated and purified to obtain a composition
containing an amount by weight equal to or greater than 99% of a
compound of Formula (I) ("substantially pure"), which is then used
or formulated as described herein. Such "substantially pure"
compounds of Formula (I) are also contemplated herein as part of
the present invention.
[0142] "Stable compound" and "stable structure" are meant to
indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive
isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and
formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent. The present
invention is intended to embody stable compounds.
[0143] "Therapeutically effective amount" is intended to include an
amount of a compound of the present invention alone or an amount of
the combination of compounds claimed or an amount of a compound of
the present invention in combination with other active ingredients
effective to act as an inhibitor to Btk, or effective to treat or
prevent autoimmune and/or inflammatory and/or proliferative disease
states, such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
[0144] As used herein, "treating" or "treatment" cover the
treatment of a disease-state in a mammal, particularly in a human,
and include: (a) preventing the disease-state from occurring in a
mammal, in particular, when such mammal is predisposed to the
disease-state but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (b)
inhibiting the disease-state, i.e., arresting its development;
and/or (c) relieving the disease-state, i.e., causing regression of
the disease state.
[0145] The compounds of the present invention are intended to
include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the present compounds.
Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but
different mass numbers. By way of general example and without
limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include deuterium (D) and tritium
(T). Isotopes of carbon include .sup.13C and .sup.14C.
Isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention can generally be
prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the
art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an
appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the
non-labeled reagent otherwise employed. For example, methyl
(--CH.sub.3) also includes deuterated methyl groups such as
--CD.sub.3.
[0146] Compounds in accordance with Formula (I) can be administered
by any means suitable for the condition to be treated, which can
depend on the need for site-specific treatment or quantity of
Formula (I) compound to be delivered.
[0147] Also embraced within this invention is a class of
pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula (I)
and one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers
and/or diluents and/or adjuvants (collectively referred to herein
as "carrier" materials) and, if desired, other active ingredients.
The compounds of Formula (I) may be administered by any suitable
route, preferably in the form of a pharmaceutical composition
adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment
intended. The compounds and compositions of the present invention
may, for example, be administered orally, mucosally, or parentally
including intravascularly, intravenously, intraperitoneally,
subcutaneously, intramuscularly, and intrasternally in dosage unit
formulations containing conventional pharmaceutically acceptable
carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles. For example, the pharmaceutical
carrier may contain a mixture of mannitol or lactose and
microcrystalline cellulose. The mixture may contain additional
components such as a lubricating agent, e.g., magnesium stearate
and a disintegrating agent such as crospovidone. The carrier
mixture may be filled into a gelatin capsule or compressed as a
tablet. The pharmaceutical composition may be administered as an
oral dosage form or an infusion, for example.
[0148] For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may
be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, liquid capsule,
suspension, or liquid. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably
made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of
the active ingredient. For example, the pharmaceutical composition
may be provided as a tablet or capsule comprising an amount of
active ingredient in the range of from about 0.1 to 1000 mg,
preferably from about 0.25 to 250 mg, and more preferably from
about 0.5 to 100 mg. A suitable daily dose for a human or other
mammal may vary widely depending on the condition of the patient
and other factors, but, can be determined using routine
methods.
[0149] Any pharmaceutical composition contemplated herein can, for
example, be delivered orally via any acceptable and suitable oral
preparations. Exemplary oral preparations, include, but are not
limited to, for example, tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous and
oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard
and soft capsules, liquid capsules, syrups, and elixirs.
Pharmaceutical compositions intended for oral administration can be
prepared according to any methods known in the art for
manufacturing pharmaceutical compositions intended for oral
administration. In order to provide pharmaceutically palatable
preparations, a pharmaceutical composition in accordance with the
invention can contain at least one agent selected from sweetening
agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents, demulcents,
antioxidants, and preserving agents.
[0150] A tablet can, for example, be prepared by admixing at least
one compound of Formula (I) with at least one non-toxic
pharmaceutically acceptable excipient suitable for the manufacture
of tablets. Exemplary excipients include, but are not limited to,
for example, inert diluents, such as, for example, calcium
carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate, and sodium
phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, such as, for
example, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium croscarmellose, corn
starch, and alginic acid; binding agents, such as, for example,
starch, gelatin, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, and acacia; and lubricating
agents, such as, for example, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and
talc. Additionally, a tablet can either be uncoated, or coated by
known techniques to either mask the bad taste of an unpleasant
tasting drug, or delay disintegration and absorption of the active
ingredient in the gastrointestinal tract thereby sustaining the
effects of the active ingredient for a longer period. Exemplary
water soluble taste masking materials, include, but are not limited
to, hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl-cellulose.
Exemplary time delay materials, include, but are not limited to,
ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate butyrate.
[0151] Hard gelatin capsules can, for example, be prepared by
mixing at least one compound of Formula (I) with at least one inert
solid diluent, such as, for example, calcium carbonate; calcium
phosphate; and kaolin.
[0152] Soft gelatin capsules can, for example, be prepared by
mixing at least one compound of Formula (I) with at least one water
soluble carrier, such as, for example, polyethylene glycol; and at
least one oil medium, such as, for example, peanut oil, liquid
paraffin, and olive oil.
[0153] An aqueous suspension can be prepared, for example, by
admixing at least one compound of Formula (I) with at least one
excipient suitable for the manufacture of an aqueous suspension.
Exemplary excipients suitable for the manufacture of an aqueous
suspension, include, but are not limited to, for example,
suspending agents, such as, for example, sodium
carboxymethylcellulose, methyl cellulose,
hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium alginate, alginic acid,
polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth, and gum acacia; dispersing
or wetting agents, such as, for example, a naturally-occurring
phosphatide, e.g., lecithin; condensation products of alkylene
oxide with fatty acids, such as, for example, polyoxyethylene
stearate; condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain
aliphatic alcohols, such as, for example,
heptadecaethylene-oxycetanol; condensation products of ethylene
oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol,
such as, for example, polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate; and
condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived
from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, such as, for example,
polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. An aqueous suspension can also
contain at least one preservative, such as, for example, ethyl and
n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate; at least one coloring agent; at least
one flavoring agent; and/or at least one sweetening agent,
including but not limited to, for example, sucrose, saccharin, and
aspartame.
[0154] Oily suspensions can, for example, be prepared by suspending
at least one compound of Formula (I) in either a vegetable oil such
as, for example, arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil and coconut
oil; or in mineral oil such as, for example, liquid paraffin. An
oily suspension can also contain at least one thickening agent such
as, for example, beeswax, hard paraffin and cetyl alcohol. In order
to provide a palatable oily suspension, at least one of the
sweetening agents already described hereinabove, and/or at least
one flavoring agent can be added to the oily suspension. An oily
suspension can further contain at least one preservative,
including, but not limited to, for example, an antioxidant, such
as, for example, butylated hydroxyanisol and alpha-tocopherol.
[0155] Dispersible powders and granules can, for example, be
prepared by admixing at least one compound of Formula (I) with at
least one dispersing and/or wetting agent; at least one suspending
agent; and/or at least one preservative. Suitable dispersing
agents, wetting agents, and suspending agents are as already
described above. Exemplary preservatives include, but are not
limited to, for example, anti-oxidants, e.g., ascorbic acid. In
addition, dispersible powders and granules can also contain at
least one excipient, including, but not limited to, for example,
sweetening agents; flavoring agents; and coloring agents.
[0156] An emulsion of at least one compound of Formula (I) can, for
example, be prepared as an oil-in-water emulsion. The oily phase of
the emulsions comprising compounds of Formula (I) may be
constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. The oil phase
can be provided by, but is not limited to, for example, a vegetable
oil, such as, for example, olive oil and arachis oil; a mineral
oil, such as, for example, liquid paraffin; and mixtures thereof.
While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may comprise
a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with
both a fat and an oil. Suitable emulsifying agents include, but are
not limited to, for example, naturally-occurring phosphatides,
e.g., soy bean lecithin; esters or partial esters derived from
fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, such as, for example, sorbitan
monooleate; and condensation products of partial esters with
ethylene oxide, such as, for example, polyoxyethylene sorbitan
monooleate. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included
together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer.
It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together,
the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make-up the
so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and
fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base which forms the
oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations. An emulsion can
also contain a sweetening agent, a flavoring agent, a preservative,
and/or an antioxidant. Emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers
suitable for use in the formulation of the present invention
include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol,
glyceryl monostearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, glyceryl distearate
alone or with a wax, or other materials well known in the art.
[0157] The compounds of Formula (I) can, for example, also be
delivered intravenously, subcutaneously, and/or intramuscularly via
any pharmaceutically acceptable and suitable injectable form.
Exemplary injectable forms include, but are not limited to, for
example, sterile aqueous solutions comprising acceptable vehicles
and solvents, such as, for example, water, Ringer's solution, and
isotonic sodium chloride solution; sterile oil-in-water
microemulsions; and aqueous or oleaginous suspensions.
[0158] Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the
form of aqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions
or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared
from sterile powders or granules using one or more of the carriers
or diluents mentioned for use in the formulations for oral
administration or by using other suitable dispersing or wetting
agents and suspending agents. The compounds may be dissolved in
water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil,
cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium
chloride, tragacanth gum, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants
and modes of administration are well and widely known in the
pharmaceutical art. The active ingredient may also be administered
by injection as a composition with suitable carriers including
saline, dextrose, or water, or with cyclodextrin (i.e.,
CAPTISOL.RTM.), co-solvent solubilization (i.e., propylene glycol)
or micellar solubilization (i.e., Tween 80).
[0159] The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile
injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally
acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in
1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may
be employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium
chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are
conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this
purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed, including synthetic
mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid
find use in the preparation of injectables.
[0160] A sterile injectable oil-in-water microemulsion can, for
example, be prepared by 1) dissolving at least one compound of
Formula (I) in an oily phase, such as, for example, a mixture of
soybean oil and lecithin; 2) combining the Formula (I) containing
oil phase with a water and glycerol mixture; and 3) processing the
combination to form a microemulsion.
[0161] A sterile aqueous or oleaginous suspension can be prepared
in accordance with methods already known in the art. For example, a
sterile aqueous solution or suspension can be prepared with a
non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, such as, for
example, 1,3-butane diol; and a sterile oleaginous suspension can
be prepared with a sterile non-toxic acceptable solvent or
suspending medium, such as, for example, sterile fixed oils, e.g.,
synthetic mono- or diglycerides; and fatty acids, such as, for
example, oleic acid.
[0162] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and
vehicles that may be used in the pharmaceutical compositions of
this invention include, but are not limited to, ion exchangers,
alumina, aluminum stearate, lecithin, self-emulsifying drug
delivery systems (SEDDS) such as d-alpha-tocopherol
polyethyleneglycol 1000 succinate, surfactants used in
pharmaceutical dosage forms such as Tweens, polyethoxylated castor
oil such as CREMOPHOR.RTM. surfactant (BASF), or other similar
polymeric delivery matrices, serum proteins, such as human serum
albumin, buffer substances such as phosphates, glycine, sorbic
acid, potassium sorbate, partial glyceride mixtures of saturated
vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes, such as
protamine sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen
phosphate, sodium chloride, zinc salts, colloidal silica, magnesium
trisilicate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, cellulose-based substances,
polyethylene glycol, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylates,
waxes, polyethylene-polyoxypropylene-block polymers, polyethylene
glycol and wool fat. Cyclodextrins such as alpha-, beta-, and
gamma-cyclodextrin, or chemically modified derivatives such as
hydroxyalkylcyclodextrins, including 2- and
3-hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrins, or other solubilized derivatives may
also be advantageously used to enhance delivery of compounds of the
formulae described herein.
[0163] The pharmaceutically active compounds of this invention can
be processed in accordance with conventional methods of pharmacy to
produce medicinal agents for administration to patients, including
humans and other mammals. The pharmaceutical compositions may be
subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as
sterilization and/or may contain conventional adjuvants, such as
preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, buffers
etc. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric
coatings. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as
wetting, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
[0164] The amounts of compounds that are administered and the
dosage regimen for treating a disease condition with the compounds
and/or compositions of this invention depends on a variety of
factors, including the age, weight, sex, the medical condition of
the subject, the type of disease, the severity of the disease, the
route and frequency of administration, and the particular compound
employed. Thus, the dosage regimen may vary widely, but can be
determined routinely using standard methods. A daily dose of about
0.001 to 100 mg/kg body weight, preferably between about 0.0025 and
about 50 mg/kg body weight and most preferably between about 0.005
to 10 mg/kg body weight, may be appropriate. The daily dose can be
administered in one to four doses per day. Other dosing schedules
include one dose per week and one dose per two day cycle.
[0165] For therapeutic purposes, the active compounds of this
invention are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants
appropriate to the indicated route of administration. If
administered orally, the compounds may be admixed with lactose,
sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids,
cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate,
magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and
sulfuric acids, gelatin, acacia gum, sodium alginate,
polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and then tableted
or encapsulated for convenient administration. Such capsules or
tablets may contain a controlled-release formulation as may be
provided in a dispersion of active compound in hydroxypropylmethyl
cellulose.
[0166] Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention comprise at
least one compound of Formula (I) and optionally an additional
agent selected from any pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,
adjuvant, and vehicle. Alternate compositions of this invention
comprise a compound of the Formula (I) described herein, or a
prodrug thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,
adjuvant, or vehicle.
Utility
[0167] The compounds of the invention modulate kinase activity,
including the modulation of Btk. Other types of kinase activity
that may be modulated by the compounds of the instant invention
include, but are not limited to, the Tec family of kinases, such as
BMX, Btk, ITK, TXK and Tec, and mutants thereof.
[0168] Accordingly, compounds of Formula (I) have utility in
treating conditions associated with the modulation of kinase
activity, and particularly the selective inhibition of Btk
activity. Such conditions include B-cell mediated diseases in which
cytokine levels are modulated as a consequence of intracellular
signaling.
[0169] As used herein, the terms "treating" or "treatment"
encompass either or both responsive and prophylaxis measures, e.g.,
measures designed to inhibit or delay the onset of the disease or
disorder, achieve a full or partial reduction of the symptoms or

injury, thrombosis, cardiac hypertrophy, thrombin-induced platelet
aggregation, endotoxemia and/or toxic shock syndrome, conditions

[0172] Preferred methods of treatment are those wherein the
condition is selected from Crohn's and ulcerative colitis,
allograft rejection, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, ankylosing
spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, pemphigus vulgaris and multiple
sclerosis. Alternatively preferred methods of treatment are those
wherein the condition is selected from ischemia reperfusion injury,
including cerebral ischemia reperfusions injury arising from stroke
and cardiac ischemia reperfusion injury arising from myocardial
infarction. Another preferred method of treatment is one in which
the condition is multiple myeloma.
[0173] In addition, the Btk inhibitors of the present invention
inhibit the expression of inducible pro-inflammatory proteins such
as prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase-2 (PGHS-2), also referred to
as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Accordingly, additional Btk-associated
conditions include edema, analgesia, fever and pain, such as
neuromuscular pain, headache, pain caused by cancer, dental pain
and arthritis pain. The inventive compounds also may be used to
treat veterinary viral infections, such as lentivirus infections,
including, but not limited to equine infectious anemia virus; or
retro virus infections, including feline immunodeficiency virus,
bovine immunodeficiency virus, and canine immunodeficiency
virus.
[0174] When the terms "Btk-associated condition" or "Btk-associated
disease or disorder" are used herein, each is intended to encompass
all of the conditions identified above as if repeated at length, as
well as any other condition that is affected by Btk kinase
activity.
[0175] "Therapeutically effective amount" is intended to include an
amount of a compound of the present invention that is effective
when administered alone or in combination to inhibit Btk.
[0176] One embodiment provides methods for treating such Btk
kinase-associated conditions, comprising administering to a subject
in need thereof at least one compound of Formula (I). A
therapeutically-effective amount for treating such conditions may
be administered. The methods of the present embodiment may be
employed to treat Btk kinase-associated conditions such as
treatment of allergic disorders and/or autoimmune and/or
inflammatory diseases including, but not limited to, SLE,
rheumatoid arthritis, multiple vasculitides, idiopathic
thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), myasthenia gravis, allergic
rhinitis, multiple sclerosis (MS), transplant rejection, Type I
diabetes, membranous nephritis, inflammatory bowel disease,
autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thyroiditis, cold and warm
agglutinin diseases, Evans syndrome, hemolytic uremic
syndrome/thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (HUS/TTP),
sarcoidosis, Sjogren's syndrome, peripheral neuropathies (e.g.,
Guillain-Barre syndrome), pemphigus vulgaris, and asthma.
[0177] The methods of treating Btk kinase-associated conditions may
comprise administering at least one compound of Formula (I) alone
or in combination with each other and/or other suitable therapeutic
agents useful in treating such conditions.
[0178] Therapeutically-effective amounts of at least one compound
of Formula (I) and other suitable therapeutic agents for treating
such conditions may be administered.
[0179] Accordingly, "therapeutically effective amount" is also
intended to include an amount of the combination of compounds
claimed that is effective to treat Btk kinase-associated
conditions. The combination of compounds is preferably a
synergistic combination. Synergy, as described, for example, by
Chou et al., Adv. Enzyme Regul., 22:27-55 (1984), occurs when the
effect (in this case, inhibition of Btk) of the compounds when
administered in combination is greater than the additive effect of
the compounds when administered alone as a single agent. In
general, a synergistic effect is most clearly demonstrated at
sub-optimal concentrations of the compounds. Synergy can be in
terms of lower cytotoxicity, increased anti-Btk effect, or some
other beneficial effect of the combination compared with the
individual components.
[0180] Exemplary of such other therapeutic agents include
corticosteroids, rolipram, calphostin, cytokine-suppressive
anti-inflammatory drugs (CSAIDs), 4-substituted
imidazo[1,2-a]quinoxalines as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,200,750;
Interleukin-10, glucocorticoids, salicylates, nitric oxide, and
other immunosuppressants; nuclear translocation inhibitors, such as
deoxyspergualin (DSG); non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, celecoxib and rofecoxib; steroids such
as prednisone or dexamethasone; antiviral agents such as abacavir;
antiproliferative agents such as methotrexate, leflunomide, FK506
(tacrolimus, PROGRAF.RTM.); cytotoxic drugs such as azathiprine and
cyclophosphamide; TNF-.alpha. inhibitors such as tenidap, anti-TNF
antibodies or soluble TNF receptor, and rapamycin (sirolimus or
RAPAMUNE.RTM.) or derivatives thereof.
[0181] The above other therapeutic agents, when employed in
combination with the compounds of the present invention, may be
used, for example, in those amounts indicated in the Physicians'
Desk Reference (PDR) or as otherwise determined by one of ordinary
skill in the art. In the methods of the present invention, such
other therapeutic agent(s) may be administered prior to,
simultaneously with, or following the administration of the
inventive compounds. The present invention also provides
pharmaceutical compositions capable of treating Btk
kinase-associated conditions, including IL-1, IL-6, IL-8,
IFN.gamma. and TNF-.alpha.-mediated conditions, as described
above.
[0182] The inventive compositions may contain other therapeutic
agents as described above and may be formulated, for example, by
employing conventional solid or liquid vehicles or diluents, as
well as pharmaceutical additives of a type appropriate to the mode
of desired administration (e.g., excipients, binders,
preservatives, stabilizers, flavors, etc.) according to techniques
such as those well known in the art of pharmaceutical
formulation.
[0183] Another embodiment provides the compounds of Formula (I) for
use in therapy. In the present embodiment, the use in therapy may
include the administration of a therapeutically-effective amount of
a compound of Formula (I).
[0184] The present invention also provides the use of the compounds
of Formula (I) for the manufacture of a medicament for the
treatment or prophylaxis of an allergic disorder and/or autoimmune
and/or inflammatory disease. In the present embodiment, the use for
the manufacture of a medicament may include the administration of a
therapeutically-effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) for
the treatment of prophylaxis of an allergic disorder and/or
autoimmune and/or inflammatory disease.
[0185] The present invention also provides the use of the compounds
of Formula (I) for the manufacture of a medicament for treatment of
cancer. The present embodiment may include the use for the
manufacture of a medicament includes the administration of a
therapeutically-effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) for
the treatment of prophylaxis of an allergic disorder and/or
autoimmune and/or inflammatory disease.
[0186] Accordingly, the present invention further includes
compositions comprising one or more compounds of Formula (I) and a
pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[0187] A "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to media
generally accepted in the art for the delivery of biologically
active agents to animals, in particular, mammals. Pharmaceutically
acceptable carriers are formulated according to a number of factors
well within the purview of those of ordinary skill in the art.
These include without limitation the type and nature of the active
agent being formulated; the subject to which the agent-containing
composition is to be administered; the intended route of
administration of the composition; and, the therapeutic indication
being targeted. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include both
aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media, as well as a variety of solid
and semi-solid dosage forms. Such carriers can include a number of
different ingredients and additives in addition to the active
agent, such additional ingredients being included in the
formulation for a variety of reasons, e.g., stabilization of the
active agent, binders, etc., well known to those of ordinary skill
in the art. Descriptions of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable
carriers, and factors involved in their selection, are found in a
variety of readily available sources such as, for example,
Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th Edition (1985), which is
incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0188] The compounds of Formula (I) may be administered by any
means suitable for the condition to be treated, which may depend on
the need for site-specific treatment or quantity of drug to be
delivered. Topical administration is generally preferred for
skin-related diseases, and systematic treatment preferred for
cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions, although other modes of
delivery are contemplated. For example, the compounds may be
delivered orally, such as in the form of tablets, capsules,
granules, powders, or liquid formulations including syrups;
topically, such as in the form of solutions, suspensions, gels or
ointments; sublingually; buccally; parenterally, such as by
subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular or intrasternal injection
or infusion techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aqueous or
non-aqueous solutions or suspensions); nasally such as by
inhalation spray; topically, such as in the form of a cream or
ointment; rectally such as in the form of suppositories; or
liposomally. Dosage unit formulations containing non-toxic,
pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles or diluents may be
administered. The compounds may be administered in a form suitable
for immediate release or extended release. Immediate release or
extended release may be achieved with suitable pharmaceutical
compositions or, particularly in the case of extended release, with
devices such as subcutaneous implants or osmotic pumps.
[0189] Exemplary compositions for topical administration include a
topical carrier such as Plastibase (mineral oil gelled with
polyethylene).
[0190] Exemplary compositions for oral administration include
suspensions which may contain, for example, microcrystalline
cellulose for imparting bulk, alginic acid or sodium alginate as a
suspending agent, methylcellulose as a viscosity enhancer, and
sweeteners or flavoring agents such as those known in the art; and
immediate release tablets which may contain, for example,
microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, starch, magnesium
stearate and/or lactose and/or other excipients, binders,
extenders, disintegrants, diluents and lubricants such as those
known in the art. The inventive compounds may also be orally
delivered by sublingual and/or buccal administration, e.g., with
molded, compressed, or freeze-dried tablets. Exemplary compositions
may include fast-dissolving diluents such as mannitol, lactose,
sucrose, and/or cyclodextrins. Also included in such formulations
may be high molecular weight excipients such as celluloses
(AVICEL.RTM.) or polyethylene glycols (PEG); an excipient to aid
mucosal adhesion such as hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC),
hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), sodium carboxymethyl
cellulose (SCMC), and/or maleic anhydride copolymer (e.g.,
Gantrez); and agents to control release such as polyacrylic
copolymer (e.g., Carbopol 934). Lubricants, glidants, flavors,
coloring agents and stabilizers may also be added for ease of
fabrication and use.
[0191] Exemplary compositions for nasal aerosol or inhalation
administration include solutions which may contain, for example,
benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption
promoters to enhance absorption and/or bioavailability, and/or
other solubilizing or dispersing agents such as those known in the
art.
[0192] Exemplary compositions for parenteral administration include
injectable solutions or suspensions which may contain, for example,
suitable non-toxic, parenterally acceptable diluents or solvents,
such as mannitol, 1,3-butanediol, water, Ringer's solution, an
isotonic sodium chloride solution, or other suitable dispersing or
wetting and suspending agents, including synthetic mono- or
diglycerides, and fatty acids, including oleic acid.
[0193] Exemplary compositions for rectal administration include
suppositories which may contain, for example, suitable
non-irritating excipients, such as cocoa butter, synthetic
glyceride esters or polyethylene glycols, which are solid at
ordinary temperatures but liquefy and/or dissolve in the rectal
cavity to release the drug.
[0194] The therapeutically-effective amount of a compound of the
present invention may be determined by one of ordinary skill in the
art, and includes exemplary dosage amounts for a mammal of from
about 0.05 to 1000 mg/kg; 1-1000 mg/kg; 1-50 mg/kg; 5-250 mg/kg;
250-1000 mg/kg of body weight of active compound per day, which may
be administered in a single dose or in the form of individual
divided doses, such as from 1 to 4 times per day. It will be
understood that the specific dose level and frequency of dosage for
any particular subject may be varied and will depend upon a variety
of factors, including the activity of the specific compound
employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of that
compound, the species, age, body weight, general health, sex and
diet of the subject, the mode and time of administration, rate of
excretion, drug combination, and severity of the particular
condition. Preferred subjects for treatment include animals, most
preferably mammalian species such as humans, and domestic animals
such as dogs, cats, horses, and the like. Thus, when the term
"patient" is used herein, this term is intended to include all
subjects, most preferably mammalian species, that are affected by
mediation of Btk enzyme levels.
[0195] Examples of compounds of Formula (I) as specified in the
"Examples" section below, have been tested in one or more of the

Methods of Preparation
[0207] The compounds of the present invention can be prepared in a
number of ways known to one skilled in the art of organic
synthesis. The compounds of the present invention can be
synthesized using the methods described below, together with
synthetic methods known in the art of synthetic organic chemistry,
or by variations thereon as appreciated by those skilled in the
art. Preferred methods include, but are not limited to, those
described below. The reactions are performed in a solvent or
solvent mixture appropriate to the reagents and materials employed
and suitable for the transformations being effected. It will be
understood by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that
the functionality present on the molecule should be consistent with
the transformations proposed. This will sometimes require a
judgment to modify the order of the synthetic steps or to select
one particular process scheme over another in order to obtain a
desired compound of the invention.
[0208] It will be recognized by one skilled in the art of organic
synthesis that some functional groups present in intermediate
compounds, or in compounds of Formula (I), may be unstable to, or
otherwise unsuited for, some of the reaction conditions used to
prepare them or to convert them to other intermediates or to
compounds of Formula (I).
[0209] In these cases, the functional groups may be protected by
conversion to alternative functional groups which are more stable
to or suitable for the reaction conditions to be employed. These
protected functional group can then be converted back to the
original functional group at a later stage of the synthesis.
Examples are the protection of a carboxylic acid as a carboxylate
ester, the protection of a primary or secondary amine as a
tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) derivative or benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz)
derivative, or the protection of an indole nitrogen as a
2-trimethylsilylethoxymethyl (SEM) derivative. The use of
protecting groups is well known in the literature; an authoritative
account describing the many alternatives to the trained
practitioner is Wuts, P. et al., Greene's Protective Groups in
Organic Synthesis, Fourth Edition, Wiley-Interscience (2006).
[0210] Compound 3, representing certain compounds of Formula (I),
can be prepared using methods shown in Scheme 1.
##STR00032##
[0211] A substituted indolecarboxamide compound 1, where Y is an
appropriate group such as Br, Cl, or trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy,
can be reacted with a boronic acid or boronic acid ester compound
2, where Ar represents one of the groups A of Formula (I) in which
the point of attachment to the indole moiety is located on a
benzene or pyridine ring of A, to provide a compound 3. This
reaction may be performed by using a suitable base such as
potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate or tripotassium phosphate,
and a suitable catalyst such as
tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium,
1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene palladium(II) chloride, or
1,1'-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene palladium(II) chloride,
in a suitable solvent such as 1,4-dioxane, N,N-dimethylformamide or
tetrahydrofuran, optionally with one or more suitable co-solvents
such as water or ethanol. Such coupling reactions are commonly
known as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions, and are well known in
the chemical literature (see, for example, Heravi, M. et al.,
Tetrahedron, 68:9145 (2012), and references cited therein).
[0212] Alternatively, a substituted indolecarboxamide compound 1
can be converted to the corresponding boronic acid or boronic acid
ester compound 4 using methods well known in the chemical
literature (see, for example, Ishiyama, T. et al., Tetrahedron,
57:9813 (2001), and references cited therein). Examples of such
methods are the reaction of a compound 1 with a reagent such as
4,4,4',4',5,5,5',5'-octamethyl-2,2'-bi(1,3,2-dioxaborolane) or
5,5,5',5'-tetramethyl-2,2'-bi(1,3,2-dioxaborinane) in the presence
of a base such as potassium acetate and a suitable catalyst such as
1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene palladium(II) chloride in a
suitable solvent to provide a boronic acid ester compound 4.
Alternatively, reaction of compound 1 where Y is Br with an
organometallic reagent such as butyllithium or isopropylmagnesium
chloride, followed by treatment with a boric acid ester such as
trimethyl borate or tri-isopropyl borate, then followed by
hydrolysis of the resulting boronic acid ester, can provide a
boronic acid compound 4 (R=H). Reaction of a compound 4 with a
suitable compound 5, wherein Ar represents one of the groups A of
Formula (I) in which the point of attachment to the indole moiety
is located on a benzene or pyridine ring of A, and Y is an
appropriate group such as Br, Cl, or trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy,
using the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction as described above, can
also provide a compound 3.
[0213] A compound 2 can be prepared from a compound 5 using the
same method described for the preparation of a compound 4 from a
compound 1.
[0214] Certain compounds of Formula (I), represented by 7, can be
prepared using methods illustrated in Scheme 2.
##STR00033##
[0215] These methods involve reacting a compound 6 bearing a
primary or secondary amine (that is, where XH represents a group A
of Formula (I) where Q.sub.1 is replaced by NHR.sub.7 or
C(R.sub.10).sub.2NHR.sub.7, or where Q.sub.2 is replaced by H) with
an appropriate reagent Q-Z, where Q represents Q.sub.2, an
optionally substituted quinazoline-4-yl, or
4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl, or a precursor to such a group,
and Z represents a leaving group such as Cl or OH, to provide a
compound 7, where XQ represents one of the groups A of Formula (I)
resulting from such a reaction. Such reactions of amines are well
known in the literature. One example of such a reaction is
acylation of the amine with a carboxylic acid chloride or a
carboxylic acid anhydride, usually performed in a suitable solvent
such as tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, or
dichloromethane, usually in the presence of a base such as
triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, pyridine, or an aqueous
solution of an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium
carbonate. Alternatively, a solvent such as pyridine can be used,
in which case the solvent can also serve as a base.
[0216] Another example of a reaction shown in Scheme 2 is acylation
of the amine of a compound 6 with a carboxylic acid using any of a
number of amide coupling reagents well known in the literature, for
example, (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino) phosphonium
hexafluorophosphate (also known as BOP or Castro's reagent),
O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethyluronium
hexafluorophosphate (also known as HATU), or a reagent such as
N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (also known as DCC) or
1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (also
known as EDC) in the presence of a co-reagent such as
1-hydroxybenzotriazole (also known as HOBT) or
1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (also known as HOAT). Such reactions
are usually performed in a suitable solvent such as ethyl acetate,
dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide or
N-methylpyrrolidine-2-one, in the presence of a suitable base such
as triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine.
[0217] Another example of a reaction shown in Scheme 2, which can
be used to prepare a compound 7 where Q is
SO.sub.2CH.dbd.CHR.sub.10, is treatment of the amine of a compound
6 with an appropriate 2-chloroethanesulfonyl chloride, in a
suitable solvent such as dichloromethane or tetrahydrofuran, in the
presence of a base such as triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine.
In this case, an intermediate 2-chloroethanesulfonamide can be
formed, which in the presence of base can undergo loss of HCl to
provide the desired ethenesulfonamide.
[0218] Another example of a reaction shown in Scheme 2, which can
be used to prepare a compound 7 where Q is
4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl or an optionally substituted
quinazolin-4-yl, is the reaction of the amine of a compound 6 with
cyanuric chloride or an optionally substituted 4-chloroquinazoline,
respectively, in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, in the
presence of a suitable base such as potassium carbonate.
[0219] Another example of a reaction shown in Scheme 2, which can
be used to prepare a compound 7 where Q is CN, is the reaction of
the amine of a compound 6 with cyanogen bromide in a suitable
solvent, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, in the presence of a
suitable base, such as cesium carbonate.
[0220] Certain compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared from
certain other compounds of Formula (I) using methods shown in
Scheme 3.
##STR00034##
[0221] A compound 8 where R represents an optionally substituted
benzyl group (which is an example of a compound of Formula (I)) can
be converted to the corresponding hydroxy compound 9 (also an
example of a compound of Formula (I)) using methods well-known in
the literature, for example, by treatment with hydrogen in the
presence of an appropriate catalyst such as palladium on charcoal
in a suitable solvent such as ethanol, or (when R is
p-methoxybenzyl) by treatment with a strong acid such as
trifluoroacetic acid in an appropriate solvent. A compound 9 can be
further converted into another compound of Formula (I), represented
by 10, by treatment with an alkylating agent such as an optionally
substituted alkyl bromide, alkyl chloride, alkyl iodide or alkyl
sulfonate ester, in a suitable solvent and in the presence of a
suitable base such as potassium carbonate.
[0222] Certain intermediate compounds 6 of Scheme 2 can be prepared
using methods analogous to those shown in Scheme 1, as shown in
Scheme 4.
##STR00035##
[0223] Reaction of a compound 1 with a boronic acid ester or
boronic acid compound 11 (where XP is analogous to XH in Scheme 2;
P can be either H or a suitable amine protecting group such as, for
example, tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) or benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz),
which are well known in the literature as protecting groups for
amines), using the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling as described above
(Scheme 1), can provide the corresponding compound 6 after removal
of the protecting group P if necessary. If P in compound 11
represents H, compound 6 can be obtained directly.
[0224] By analogy to the methods illustrated in Scheme 1, an
alternative method to prepare compound 6 of Scheme 2 is also shown
in Scheme 4. Reaction of a boronic acid ester or boronic acid
compound 4 of Scheme 1 with a compound 12, where Y is a suitable
leaving group such as Br, Cl or trifluorosulfonyloxy, using the
Suzuki-Miyaura coupling as described above, can also provide a
compound 6. As described above, P can either be H, or a suitable
protecting group in which case deprotection can provide the
compound 6.
[0225] Also, a compound 11 can be prepared from a compound 12 using
the same method described for the preparation of a compound 4 from
a compound 1 (Scheme 1).
[0226] Compounds 15, which are examples of compounds 6 of Scheme 2,
can be prepared using methods shown in Scheme 5.
##STR00036##
[0227] Reaction of a compound 1 with a vinylic boronic acid ester
or boronic acid compound 13, where P is a suitable amine protecting
group such as Boc or Cbz and m is 1 or 2, using the Suzuki-Miyaura
reaction as described above (see Scheme 1) can provide a compound
14. The double bond of the dihydropyrrole (m=1) or
tetrahydropiperidine (m=2) ring of 14 can be reduced using methods
well known in the literature, for example, by treatment with
hydrogen in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as palladium
adsorbed on charcoal, in a suitable solvent such as methanol or
ethanol, followed by removal of the protecting group using methods
well known in the literature, to provide a compound 15. (If P
represents a Cbz group, removal of the protecting group can be
achieved in the same reaction as reduction of the double bond.)
Alternatively, the order of the steps for the conversion of a
compound 14 to a compound 15 can be reversed: a protecting group P
can be removed using a suitable method, followed by hydrogenation
of the double bond as described.
[0228] Compounds 19, representing certain compounds 6 of Scheme 2,
can be prepared as shown in Scheme 6.
##STR00037##
[0229] Reaction of a compound 1 with a dehydrating agent such as
phosphorus oxychloride, using methods well-known in the literature,
can provide a compound 16. Treatment of a compound 16 with a
suitable mono-protected diamine such as an aminopyrrolidine, an
aminopiperidine, a piperazine, an octahydropyrrolopyrrole or an
octahydropyrrolopyridine (represented by HN--X'--NP, 17, where can
P represent a suitable protecting group such as Cbz or Boc) can
provide the corresponding compound 18. The conversion of a compound
16 to a compound 18 can be achieved using a suitable palladium
catalyst such as, for example, tris(dibenzylideneacetone)
dipalladium, a ligand such as, for example,
2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthalene (also known as
BINAP) or 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (also
known as Xantphos), and a base such as cesium carbonate or sodium
tert-butoxide, in a suitable solvent such as 1,4-dioxane, toluene,
N,N-dimethylacetamide or N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one. This reaction,
commonly referred to as the Buchwald coupling, is well known in the
literature (see, for example, Surry, D. et al., Angew. Chem.,
47:6338 (2008), and references cited therein). The nitrile moiety
of a compound 18 can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding amide by
treatment under suitable conditions, for example, by heating with
concentrated aqueous sulfuric acid, to provide a compound 19, which
is an example of a compound 6 of Scheme 2. A protecting group P, if
present in a compound 18, can be removed during this reaction, or
alternatively can be removed before or after the nitrile hydrolysis
step using methods well-known in the chemical literature.
[0230] It will be noted that in some cases a compound 18 or 19 can
possess a chiral center, for example, when 17 represents a
protected 3-aminopyrrolidine, 3-aminopiperidine,
octahydropyrrolopyridine, or non-symmetrical
octahydropyrrolopyrrole. In these cases, a compound 18 or 19 can be
prepared in racemic form by using a racemic compound 17 in the
Buchwald coupling step. Alternatively, a compound 18 or 19 which
possesses a chiral center can be prepared in enantiomerically pure
or enantiomerically enriched form by using an enantiomerically pure
or enantiomerically enriched compound 17 during the Buchwald
coupling step. Alternatively, in cases where a chiral center is
present, an enantiomerically pure or enantiomerically enriched
compound 18 or 19 may be prepared from a racemic compound 18 or 19,
respectively, using optical resolution methods well known in the
literature, for example, by selective crystallization of a
diastereomeric salt formed with an enantiomerically pure or
enantiomerically enriched acid, or by chromatography on a chiral
stationary phase.
[0231] Compound 19, representing certain compounds 6 of Scheme 2,
can also be prepared as shown in Scheme 7.
##STR00038##
[0232] Conversion of a carboxylic acid 20 to an ester 21, such as a
methyl ester (R=CH.sub.3) or ethyl ester (R=C.sub.2H.sub.5), can be
achieved using well-known methods, such as treatment with an acid
catalyst such as sulfuric acid in a suitable alcoholic solvent such
as methanol or ethanol. Using the Buchwald coupling procedure
described for Scheme 6, a compound 21 can be converted into a
compound 22. The carboxylic acid ester of a compound 22 can be
converted to the corresponding amide, providing a compound 19 (with
removal of the protecting group P if appropriate), using well known
methods, such as hydrolysis of the ester using a suitable base such
as aqueous lithium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, optionally in a
suitable co-solvent such as methanol, ethanol or tetrahydrofuran.
The resulting carboxylic acid 22 (R=H) can then be converted into
the amide 19 using methods well known in the literature, for
example, by conversion of the carboxylic acid to the corresponding
acid chloride by treatment with oxalyl chloride or thionyl
chloride, followed by treatment with ammonia; or by treatment of
the carboxylic acid with ammonia or ammonium chloride in the
presence of a coupling reagent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, or
N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride in the
presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole or
1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole.
[0233] Certain compounds 23 (which are examples of compounds 6 of
Scheme 2) can be prepared by a method shown in Scheme 8.
##STR00039##
[0234] A compound 24 (where Z represents CN, which is an example of
a compound 18 of Scheme 6; or where Z represents a carboxylic acid
ester, which is an example of a compound 22 of Scheme 7; and m and
n are chosen to form an appropriate piperidine or pyrrolidine ring)
can be converted into the corresponding compound 25 using methods
known in the literature, such as alkylation with an appropriate
alkyl halide, or by treatment with an appropriate aldehyde or
ketone followed by reduction of the intermediate iminium compound
using a suitable reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride or
sodium triacetoxyborohydride. The resulting compound 25 can then be
converted to the corresponding compound 23 using appropriate
methods: for example, if Z is CN, using the method described for
the conversion of a compound 18 to a compound 19 (Scheme 6); or if
Z is a carboxylic acid ester, using the method described for the
conversion of a compound 22 to a compound 19 (Scheme 7).
[0235] Compounds 26, which are examples of compounds of Formula
(I), can be prepared by a method shown in Scheme 9. A compound 27
(which can be prepared by installing a suitable protecting group
such as trimethylsilylethoxymethyl on a compound 16 of Scheme 6)
can be reacted with a suitable organozinc compound such as 28, in
the presence of a catalyst such as
tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, to provide a compound 29.
Such a palladium-catalyzed coupling of organozinc compounds,
commonly known as the Negishi coupling, is well known in the
chemical literature (see, for example, Negishi, E. et al.,
Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions, Second Edition, p. 815,
de Meijere, A. et al., eds., Wiley-VCH (2004)). Removal of the
protecting group of a compound 29 and reaction with an appropriate
organostannane such as
R.sub.9Sn(CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.3).sub.3 in the presence
of a catalyst such as tetrakis (triphenylphosphine)palladium, can
provide a compound 30. Such a palladium-catalyzed coupling of
organotin compounds, commonly known as the Stille coupling, is well
known in the chemical literature (see, for example, Stille, J.,
Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl., 25:508 (1986)). Conversion of the
nitrile of a compound 30 to the carboxamide by hydrolysis, using
methods described in Scheme 6 or related methods, can provide a
compound 26. In cases where R.sub.8 is not H, R.sub.8 can be
present in the organozinc reagent 28. Alternatively, a compound 29
where R.sub.8 is H can be converted to the corresponding compound
29 where R.sub.8 is alkyl using methods well-known in the
literature, for example, by treatment with a suitable base such as
potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, followed by treatment with a
suitable alkylating agent such as an iodoalkane.
##STR00040##
[0236] Compounds 1 (see Scheme 1) used in the preparation of
compounds of Formula (I), and compounds 20 which can be used in the
preparation of compounds 19 (see Scheme 7), can be prepared using
procedures shown in Scheme 10.
##STR00041##
[0237] A substituted 2-aminobenzoic acid 31 (known in the
literature, or prepared using procedures known in the literature)
can be converted to the corresponding 2-hydrazinylbenzoic acid 32
as the hydrochloric acid salt using methods well known in the
literature, for example, by conversion to the corresponding
diazonium salt by treatment with sodium nitrite in aqueous
hydrochloric acid, followed by reduction with tin(II) chloride.
Reaction of a compound 32 with a suitable ketone 33 such as
2-butanone or acetone, in a suitable solvent with an appropriate
catalyst, for example, ethanol with hydrochloric acid, toluene with
p-toluenesulfonic acid or trifluoroacetic acid, or acetic acid (in
which case the solvent also can serve as the catalyst), can provide
the corresponding substituted indole 20. This reaction is commonly
known as the Fischer indole synthesis, and is well known in the
chemical literature (see, for example, Hughes, D., Org. Prep. Proc.
Int., 25:607 (1993)). Alternatively, the Fischer indole synthesis
can be carried out in two consecutive steps: a hydrazine 32 can
react with the appropriate ketone or aldehyde 33 under suitable
conditions (such as in an appropriate solvent such as ethanol or
toluene, optionally with a suitable catalyst such as
p-toluenesulfonic acid) to form an intermediate hydrazone, which
can be isolated and then reacted further under suitable conditions
(for example, ethanol with hydrochloric acid, acetic acid with zinc
chloride, or toluene with trifluoroacetic acid) to provide a
compound 20. The carboxylic acid of a compound 20 can be converted
to the carboxamide of a compound 1 using methods described for the
conversion of a compound 22 (R=H) to a compound 19 in Scheme 7.
[0238] An alternative method for preparing a compound 1 is shown in
Scheme 11.
##STR00042##
[0239] A dibromonitrobenzene 34 can be treated with an appropriate
vinylic organomagnesium reagent 35 (Y'=Br or Cl) to provide a
substituted indole 36. This method, commonly called the Bartoli
indole synthesis, is well known in the chemical literature (see,
for example, Bartoli, G. et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 30:2129 (1989),
and Dobson, D. et al., Synlett, 79 (1992)). A compound 36 can be
converted into the corresponding compound 37 (P=H, a compound 20 of
Schemes 7 and 9) by treatment with a suitable organolithium reagent
such as n-butyllithium in a suitable solvent such as
tetrahydrofuran, followed by treatment with carbon dioxide, then
with an aqueous acid to neutralize the intermediate carboxylate
salt. Optionally, the indole nitrogen of a compound 36 can be
protected using methods well known in the literature, for example,
by alkylation with 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl chloride to
provide the corresponding 2-trimethylsilylethoxymethyl (SEM)
derivative, followed by conversion to the corresponding carboxylic
acid 37 (P=SEM) as described. The carboxylic acid of a compound 37
can then be converted to the carboxamide of a compound 1, using
methods described for this transformation in Scheme 7. If the
carboxamide so obtained is derived from a compound 37 where P is a
protecting group, deprotection using suitable methods known in the
literature can then provide a compound 1.
[0240] As shown in Scheme 12, a compound 38 can be converted to a
compound 39, which is an example of a compound 2 of Scheme 1.
Analogously, a compound 40 can be converted to a compound 41, which
is an example of a compound 5 of Scheme 1.
##STR00043##
[0241] In Scheme 12, Y represents a suitable group such as Br, Cl
or trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy; (RO).sub.2B represents a boronic
acid or boronic acid ester; and XH represents a group A of Formula
(I) attached to the indole moiety of Formula (I) via a bond to a
benzene or pyridine ring of A but where Q.sub.1 (if present) is
replaced by NHR.sub.7 or C(R.sub.10).sub.2NHR.sub.7 or Q.sub.2 (if
present) is replaced by H; and Q represents a group Q.sub.2,
C(O)(C.sub.1-4 alkyl substituted with R.sub.6), C(O)(C.sub.3-6
cycloalkyl substituted with R.sub.6), dichlorotriazinyl or
quinazolin-4-yl substituted with R.sub.6. Conversion of a compound
38 to a compound 39, and conversion of a compound 40 to a compound
41, can be accomplished using the same methods described for the
analogous transformations of a compound 6 to a compound 7 in Scheme
2. Also, conversion of a compound 38 to a compound 40, and
conversion of a compound 39 to a compound 41, can be accomplished
using the methods described for the transformation of a compound 1
to a compound 4 in Scheme 1.
[0242] Scheme 13 shows the preparation of compounds 42 and 43
(which are examples of compounds 5 of Scheme 1) and of compounds 44
and 45 (which are examples of compounds 2 of Scheme 1).
##STR00044##
[0243] An isatoic anhydride 46 (where R' and R'' represent optional
substituents selected from F, Cl, CH.sub.3, CN and OCH.sub.3) can
react with a substituted aniline 47 to produce an amide 48. Such
reactions can be carried out under a variety of conditions, for
example, by heating in a suitable solvent, or by heating in the
presence of a reagent such as trimethylaluminum. A compound 48 can
be converted into a substituted quinazolinedione 42, for example,
by treatment in a suitable solvent with phosgene or
bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate (triphosgene). Optionally, a
compound 42 can be converted to the corresponding compound 44 using
methods described for the conversion of a compound 1 to a compound
4 in Scheme 1. Alternatively, a compound 42 can optionally be
converted into a compound 43 using methods known well known in the
chemical literature, for example, by treatment with an alkylating
agent such as iodomethane in the presence of a suitable base such
as cesium carbonate. A compound 43 can then be converted into the
corresponding compound 45 using the same methods described above. A
compound 44 can also be optionally converted into the corresponding
compound 45 by methods similar to those described for the
conversion of a compound 42 into a compound 43.
[0244] If R.sub.5 of a compound 42, 43, 44 or 45 is other than
hydrogen, a compound 42, 43, 44 or 45 displays chirality, called
atropisomerism, due to hindered rotation about the single bond
connecting the substituted phenyl ring to the quinazolinedione
moiety, and exists as two enantiomers. These enantiomeric
atropisomers can be isolated as separate compounds which are stable
to interconversion under normal storage conditions. If desired, a
compound 42, 43, 44 or 45 can be resolved into separate
enantiomeric atropisomers, for example, by chromatography on a
chiral stationary phase. A separated enantiomeric atropisomer of a
compound 42 or a compound 43 can then optionally be converted into
a stable enantiomeric atropisomer of a compound 44 or a compound
45, respectively, as described above.
[0245] An alternative synthesis of a compound 48 of Scheme 13 is
shown in Scheme 14. A substituted 2-nitrobenzoic acid 49 can be
converted to a compound 50 using well-known amide bond forming
reactions, for example, by conversion of a compound 49 to the
corresponding carboxylic acid chloride and reaction with a
substituted aniline 47, or by direct reaction of a compound 49 and
a compound 47 in the presence of a suitable coupling reagent such
O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium
hexafluorophosphate (HATU), or a mixture of
1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethyl-carbodiimide hydrochloride
(EDC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (HOBT), using methods well
known in the literature. The nitro group of a compound 50 can then
be reduced, using one of a wide variety of methods known in the
literature, to give a compound 48.
##STR00045##
[0246] Other examples of compounds 2 and 5 of Scheme 1, and of
compounds 11 and 12 of Scheme 4, are known in the literature, or
can be prepared using methods known in the literature. For example,
U.S. Pat. No. 8,084,620 describes the preparation of a number of
such compounds useful in the preparation of compounds of Formula
(I).
[0247] Certain compounds of Formula (I) may exhibit hindered
rotation about the bond joining the group A to the indole ring. In
some cases, the hindered rotation may be such that two isomers
about this bond, known as atropisomers, can be isolated as separate
compounds which are stable to interconversion under common storage
and handling conditions. Cases where this hindered rotation may be
observed are cases where R.sub.3 is not hydrogen and where A is a
substituted benzene or pyridine ring bearing a substituent R.sub.5
which is also not hydrogen, or where R.sub.3 is not hydrogen and
where A is, for example, a substituted
1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-5-yl, a substituted
1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-8-yl, a substituted
1a,2,3,7b-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa[c]quinolin-7-yl, a substituted
isoindolin-4-yl, a substituted
3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-8-yl, a substituted
3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-8-yl, a substituted
indolin-4-yl, or a substituted
2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-9-yl group. In these cases,
the compounds of Formula (I) may be prepared in racemic or scalemic
form, and the two atropisomers may be separated using methods known
in the literature, for example, by chromatography on a chiral
stationary phase.
[0248] Likewise, a compound 6 of Schemes 2 and 4 may also exhibit
hindered rotation about the bond joining the group XH to the indole
ring, and can be isolated as separate compounds which are stable to
interconversion under common storage and handling conditions. Cases
where this hindered rotation may be observed are cases where
R.sub.3 is not hydrogen and where XH is a substituted benzene or
pyridine ring bearing a substituent R.sub.5 which is also not
hydrogen, or where R.sub.3 is not hydrogen and where XH is, for
example, an optionally substituted
1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-5-yl, an optionally substituted
1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-8-yl, an optionally substituted
1a,2,3,7b-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa[c]quinolin-7-yl, an optionally
substituted isoindolin-4-yl, an optionally substituted
3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-8-yl, an optionally substituted
3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-8-yl, an optionally substituted
indolin-4-yl, or an optionally substituted
2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-9-yl group. In these cases,
the compound 6 can be prepared in racemic or scalemic form as shown
in Scheme 4, and the two atropisomers of 6 may be separated using
methods known in the literature, for example, by chromatography on
a chiral stationary phase. A separated enantiomeric atropisomer can
then be converted into a single enantiomer of a compound 7, which
represents certain compounds of Formula (I), as shown in Scheme
2.
[0249] In some cases, when the conversion of an intermediate
compound into another intermediate compound or a compound of
Formula (I) requires more than one synthetic reaction, the order of
the individual steps can be changed. One example is shown in Scheme
12. Conversion of a compound 38 to a compound 41 can be done by (1)
conversion of the amine of the compound 38 to the substituted amine
of a compound 39, followed by (2) conversion of the group Y of the
compound 39 to the boronic acid or boronic acid ester of the
compound 41. Alternatively, the same conversion of a compound 38 to
a compound 41 can be done by (1) conversion of the group Y of the
compound 38 to the boronic acid or boronic acid ester of a compound
40, followed by (2) conversion of the amine of the compound 40 to
the substituted amine of the compound 41. Such cases will be
recognized by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis.
EXAMPLES
[0250] Compounds of the current invention, and intermediates used
in the preparation of compounds of the current invention, can be
prepared using procedures shown in the following Examples and
related procedures. The methods and conditions used in these
Examples, and the actual compounds prepared in these Examples, are
not meant to be limiting, but are meant to demonstrate how the
compounds of the current invention can be prepared. Starting
materials and reagents used in these Examples, when not prepared by
a procedure described herein, are generally either commercially
available, or are reported in the chemical literature, or may be
prepared by using procedures described in the chemical literature.
The invention is further defined in the following Examples. It
should be understood that the Examples are given by way of
illustration only. From the above discussion and the Examples, one
skilled in the art can ascertain the essential characteristics of
the invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope
thereof, can make various changes and modifications to adapt the
invention to various uses and conditions. As a result, the
invention is not limited by the illustrative examples set forth
herein below, but rather defined by the claims appended hereto.
[0251] In the examples given, the phrase "dried and concentrated"
generally refers to removal of most residual water from a solution
in an organic solvent using either anhydrous sodium sulfate or
magnesium sulfate, followed by filtration and removal of the
solvent from the filtrate (generally under reduced pressure and at
a temperature suitable to the stability of the material being
prepared). Column chromatography was generally performed using the
flash chromatography technique (Still, W. et al., J. Org. Chem.,
43:2923 (1978)), or with pre-packed silica gel cartridges using an
Isco medium pressure chromatography apparatus (Teledyne
Corporation), eluting with the solvent or solvent mixture
indicated. Preparative high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)
was performed using a reverse-phase column (Waters SunFire
C.sub.18, Waters XBridge C.sub.18, PHENOMENEX.RTM. Axia C.sub.18,
YMC S5 ODS or the like) of a size appropriate to the quantity of
material being separated, generally eluting with a gradient of
increasing concentration of methanol or acetonitrile in water, also
containing 0.05% or 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid or 10 mM ammonium
acetate, at a rate of elution suitable to the column size and
separation to be achieved. Supercritical fluid chromatography
(SFC), a form of normal phase HPLC using a mobile phase containing
super- or subcritical fluid CO.sub.2 and polar organic modifiers
such as alcohols, was used to separate chiral compounds (White, C.
et al., J. Chromatography A, 1074:175 (2005)). Chiral SFC
separation of enantiomers or diastereomers was performed using
conditions described for the individual cases. Mass spectral data
were obtained by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry using
electrospray ionization. Chemical names were determined using
CHEMDRAW.RTM. Ultra, version 9.0.5 (CambridgeSoft). The following

Biological Assays
[0843] The pharmacological properties of the compounds of this
invention may be confirmed by a number of biological assays. The
exemplified biological assays, which follow, have been carried out
with compounds of the invention.
Human Recombinant Btk Enzyme Assay
[0844] To V-bottom 384-well plates were added test compounds, human
recombinant Btk (1 nM, Invitrogen Corporation), fluoresceinated
peptide (1.5 .mu.M), ATP (20 .mu.M), and assay buffer (20 mM HEPES
pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl.sub.2, 0.015% Brij 35 surfactant and 4 mM DTT in
1.6% DMSO), with a final volume of 30 .mu.L. After incubating at
room temperature for 60 min., the reaction was terminated by adding
45 .mu.L of 35 mM EDTA to each sample. The reaction mixture was
analyzed on the Caliper LABCHIP.RTM. 3000 (Caliper, Hopkinton,
Mass.) by electrophoretic separation of the fluorescent substrate
and phosphorylated product. Inhibition data were calculated by
comparison to control reactions with no enzyme (for 100%
inhibition) and controls with no inhibitor (for 0% inhibition).
Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration
required for inhibiting 50% of Btk activity (IC.sub.50). Compounds
were dissolved at 10 mM in DMSO and evaluated at eleven
concentrations.
Ramos FLIPR Assay
[0845] Ramos RA1 B cells (ATCC CRL-1596) at a density of
2.times.10.sup.6 cells/mL in RPMI minus phenol red (Invitrogen
11835-030) and 50 mM HEPES (Invitrogen 15630-130) containing 0.1%
BSA (Sigma A8577) were added to one half volume of calcium loading
buffer (BD bulk kit for probenecid sensitive assays, #640177) and
incubated at room temperature in the dark for 1 hr. Dye-loaded
cells were pelleted (Beckmann GS-CKR, 1200 rpm, room temperature, 5
min) and resuspended at room temperature in RPMI minus phenol red
with 50 mM HEPES and 10% FBS to a density of 1.times.10.sup.6
cells/mL. 150 .mu.L aliquots (150,000 cells/well) were plated into
96 well poly-D-lysine coated assay plates (BD 35 4640) and briefly
centrifuged (Beckmann GS-CKR 800 rpm, 5 min., without brake). Next,
50 .mu.L compound dilutions in 0.4% DMSO/RPMI minus phenol red+50
mM HEPES+10% FBS were added to the wells and the plate was
incubated at room temperature in the dark for 1 hr. The assay plate
was briefly centrifuged as above prior to measuring calcium levels.
Using the FLIPR1 (Molecular Devices), cells were stimulated by
adding goat anti-human IgM (Invitrogen AHI0601) to 2.5 .mu.g/mL.
Changes in intracellular calcium concentrations were measured for
180 seconds and percent inhibition was determined relative to peak
calcium levels seen in the presence of stimulation only.

[0847] The compounds of the present invention possess activity as
inhibitors of Btk, and therefore, may be used in the treatment of
diseases associated with Btk activity.
Collagen-Induced Arthritis in Mice:
[0848] DBA/1 male mice (8-10 wk of age; Harlan) were immunized
subcutaneously at the base of the tail on Day 0 and again on Day 21
with 200 .mu.g bovine type II collagen mixed with reconstituted
Sigma Adjuvant System (SAS; Sigma-Aldrich). Daily oral (PO) dosing
was immediately initiated with Example 223 or methotrexate (1
mg/kg) in PEG400:water (80:20) and continued to the end of the
study (38 days).
[0849] Following the booster immunization, mice were monitored
three times per week for the development and severity of paw
inflammation. Each paw was visually scored by the following scheme:
+0=normal; +1=one (or more) joints inflamed on digits;
+2=mild-moderate inflammation of plantar surface of paw and paw
thickness modestly increased; +3=moderate-severe inflammation of
plantar surface of paw and paw thickness significantly increased;
+4=ankylosis of ankle joint (significantly reduced joint motion on
flexion/extension). Clinical paw scores for all four paws were
summed for each mouse, and the mean was calculated for each
treatment group.
Results:
[0850] Treatment with Example 223 provided dose-responsive
inhibition of clinically evident disease, with 21%, 83%, and 93%
inhibition of mean clinical scores at the end of the study at doses
of 0.1, 0.5, and 2.5 mg/kg orally QD, respectively. In contrast,
treatment with methotrexate at 1 mg/kg, the standard of care in
rheumatoid arthritis, showed only 58% inhibition of clinical
scores.
NZB/W Lupus-Prone Mice:
[0851] Female NZB/WF1 mice, age 24 weeks were dosed by oral gavage,
once daily, for 16 weeks and included the following treatment
groups: Example 223 at 0.2, 0.5 and 1.5 mg/kg in vehicle (80:20
PEG400:water), vehicle alone, or prednisolone at 10 mg/kg.
Proteinuria was measured using a colorimetric assay for albumin
(Siemens Albustix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis).
[0852] At the end of the study, kidneys were collected in 10%
Neutral Buffered Formalin for histological evaluation. Fixed kidney
tissues were routinely processed and paraffin embedded. Kidney
sections were stained with periodic acid Schiff and hematoxylin
(PASH) and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for the evaluation of
nephritis severity. Blinded to treatment group, severity of
nephritis was evaluated using the following criteria. For
glomerular damage: 1--Mesangial matrix thickening and/or mesangial
cell proliferation; 2--Crescent formation--Cellular deposits/casts
in Bowman's space; 3--Cellular infiltration--composed of
mononuclear cells in glomerular tufts; 4--Fibrosis of Bowman's
capsule. For tubular damage: 1--Infiltration of mononuclear cells;
2--Severity of tubular epithelial cell damage; 3--Protein casts.
For tubulo-interstitial damage: 1--Fibrosis; 2--Infiltration of
mononuclear cells. Each subcategory was assigned a score from 0 to
4. The total score for each mouse was the sum of the above 9
subcategories.
Results:
[0853] Treatment with Example 223 showed dose dependent inhibition
of severe proteinuria, a measure of the underlying nephritis, at
the end of the study, with 42%, 17%, and 8% of the mice showing
severe proteinuria (.gtoreq.300 mg/dL) at doses of 0.2, 0.5 and 1.5
mg/kg, respectively. In comparison, 75% of the vehicle control
animals showed severe proteinuria. Histological evaluation of the
kidneys from vehicle control mice showed advanced nephritis, with
mesangial hypertrophy of the glomeruli, prominent cellular
casts/crescents and capsular fibrosis. Tubular epithelial cells
were frequently damaged and protein casts were numerous. In
addition, there was a prominent mononuclear cell infiltrate present
in the interstitium of many of the kidneys examined. The results of
the present study show that the Total Nephritis Histology Severigy
Scores for the three groups of mice treated with 0.2, 0.5 and 1.5
mg/kg of Example 223 were 6.4, 7.5, and 5.0, respectively. In
comparison, the groups of mice treated with either prednisolone or
vehicle only had Total Nephritis Histology Severigy Scores of 7.8
and 21.0, respectively. In summary, the results of the present
study indicates that treatment with Example 223 at all doses
provided protection against tubulo-interstitial and glomerular
nephritis as well as inflammatory infiltration.
