Description
REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of
U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/555,645, filed on Sep. 8, 2017,
and 62/616,642, filed on Jan. 12, 2018, the entire contents of each
of which are incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] ATR (also known as FRAP-Related Protein 1; FRP1; MEC1; SCKL;
SECKL1) protein kinase is a member of the PI3-Kinase like kinase
(PIKK) family of proteins that are involved in repair and
maintenance of the genome and its stability (reviewed in Cimprich
K. A. and Cortez D. 2008, Nature Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 9:616-627).
These proteins co-ordinate response to DNA damage, stress and
cell-cycle perturbation. Indeed ATM and ATR, two members of the
family of proteins, share a number of downstream substrates that
are themselves recognised components of the cell cycle and
DNA-repair machinery e.g. Chk1, BRCA1, p53 (Lakin N D et al, 1999,
Oncogene; Tibbets R S et al, 2000, Genes & Dev.). Whilst the
substrates of ATM and ATR are to an extent shared, the trigger to
activate the signalling cascade is not shared and ATR primarily
responds to stalled replication forks (Nyberg K. A. et al., 2002,
Ann. Rev. Genet. 36:617-656; Shechter D. et al. 2004, DNA Repair
3:901-908) and bulky DNA damage lesions such as those formed by
ultraviolet (UV) radiation (Wright J. A. et al, 1998, Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA, 23:7445-7450) or the UV mimetic agent,
4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide, 4NQO (Ikenaga M. et al. 1975, Basic Life
Sci. 5b, 763-771). However, double strand breaks (DSB) detected by
ATM can be processed into single strand breaks (SSB) recruiting
ATR; similarly SSB, detected by ATR can generate DSB, activating
ATM. There is therefore a significant interplay between ATM and
ATR.
[0003] Mutations of the ATR gene that result in complete loss of
expression of the ATR protein are rare and in general are not
viable. Viability may only result under heterozygous or hypomorphic
conditions. The only clear link between ATR gene mutations and
disease exists in a few patients with Seckel syndrome which is
characterized by growth retardation and microcephaly (O'Driscoll M
et al, 2003 Nature Genet. Vol 3, 497-501). Cells from patients with
hypomorphic germline mutations of ATR (seckel syndrome) present a
greater susceptibility to chromosome breakage at fragile sites in
presence of replication stress compared to wild type cells (Casper
2004). Disruption of the ATR pathway leads to genomic instability.
Patients with Seckel syndrome also present an increased incidence
of cancer, suggestive of the role of ATR in this disease in the
maintenance of genome stability.
[0004] Moreover, duplication of the ATR gene has been described as
a risk factor in rhabdomyosarcomas (Smith L et al, 1998, Nature
Genetics 19, 39-46). Oncogene-driven tumorigenesis may be
associated with ATM loss-of-function and therefore increased
reliance on ATR signalling (Gilad 2010). Evidence of replication
stress has also been reported in several tumor types such as colon
and ovarian cancer, and more recently in glioblastoma, bladder,
prostate and breast (Gorgoulis et al, 2005; Bartkova et al. 2005a;
Fan et al., 2006; Tort et al, 2006; Nuciforo et al, 2007; Bartkova
et al., 2007a). Loss of G1 checkpoint is also frequently observed
during tumorigenesis. Tumor cells that are deficient in G1
checkpoint controls, in particular p53 deficiency, are susceptible
to inhibition of ATR activity and present with premature chromatin
condensation (PCC) and cell death (Ngheim et al, PNAS, 98,
9092-9097).
[0005] ATR is essential to the viability of replicating cells and
is activated during S-phase to regulate firing of replication
origins and to repair damaged replication forks (Shechter D et al,
2004, Nature cell Biology Vol 6 (7) 648-655). Damage to replication
forks may arise due to exposure of cells to clinically relevant
cytotoxic agents such as hydroxyurea (HU) and platinums (O'Connell
and Cimprich 2005; 118, 1-6). ATR is activated by most cancer
chemotherapies (Wilsker D et al, 2007, Mol. Cancer Ther. 6(4)
1406-1413). Biological assessment of the ability of ATR inhibitors
to sensitise to a wide range of chemotherapies have been
evaluated.
[0006] Sensitisation of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic agents in
cell growth assays has been noted and used to assess how well weak
ATR inhibitors (such as Caffeine) will sensitise tumor cell lines
to cytotoxic agents (Wilsker D. et al, 2007, Mol Cancer Ther. 6
(4)1406-1413; Sarkaria J. N. et al, 1999, Cancer Res. 59,
4375-4382). Moreover, a reduction of ATR activity by siRNA or ATR
knock-in using a dominant negative form of ATR in cancer cells has
resulted in the sensitisation of tumor cells to the effects of a
number of therapeutic or experimental agents such as
antimetabolites (5-FU, Gemcitabine, Hydroxyurea, Metotrexate,
Tomudex), alkylating agents (Cisplatin, Mitomycin C,
Cyclophosphamide, MMS) or double-strand break inducers
(Doxorubicin, Ionizing radiation) (Cortez D. et al. 2001, Science,
294:1713-1716; Collis S. J. et al, 2003, Cancer Res. 63:1550-1554;
Cliby W. A. et al, 1998, EMBO J. 2:1 9-169) suggesting that the
combination of ATR inhibitors with some cytotoxic agents might be
therapeutically beneficial. An additional phenotypic assay has been
described to define the activity of specific ATR inhibitory
compounds is the cell cycle profile (P J Hurley, D Wilsker and F
Bunz, Oncogene, 2007, 26, 2535-2542). Cells deficient in ATR have
been shown to have defective cell cycle regulation and distinct
characteristic profiles, particularly following a cytotoxic
cellular insult. Furthermore, there are proposed to be differential
responses between tumor and normal tissues in response to
modulation of the ATR axis and this provides further potential for
therapeutic intervention by ATR inhibitor molecules (Rodnguez-Bravo
V et al, Cancer Res., 2007, 67, 11648-11656).
[0007] Another compelling utility of ATR-specific phenotypes is
aligned with the concept of synthetic lethality and the observation
that tumor cells that are deficient in G1 checkpoint controls, in
particular p53 deficiency, are susceptible to inhibition of ATR
activity resulting in premature chromatin condensation (PCC) and
cell death (Ngheim et al, PNAS, 98, 9092-9097). In this situation,
S-phase replication of DNA occurs but is not completed prior to
M-phase initiation due to failure in the intervening checkpoints
resulting in cell death from a lack of ATR signalling. The G2/M
checkpoint is a key regulatory control involving ATR (Brown E. J.
and Baltimore D., 2003, Genes Dev. 17, 615-628) and it is the
compromise of this checkpoint and the prevention of ATR signalling
to its downstream partners which results in PCC.
[0008] Consequently, the genome of the daughter cells is
compromised and viability of the cells is lost (Ngheim et al, PNAS,
98, 9092-9097). It has thus been proposed that inhibition of ATR
may prove to be an efficacious approach to future cancer therapy
(Collins I. and Garret M. D., 2005, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol.,
5:366-373; Kaelin W. G. 2005, Nature Rev. Cancer, 5:689-698) in the
appropriate genetic context such as tumors with defects in ATM
function or other S-phase checkpoints.
[0009] In summary ATR inhibitors have the potential to sensitise
tumor cells to ionising radiation or DNA-damage inducing
chemotherapeutic agents, have the potential to induce selective
tumor cell killing as well as to induce synthetic lethality in
subsets of tumor cells with defects in DNA damage response.
Although ATK inhibitors such as AZD-6738, VX-970 have made a
significant contribution to the art, there is a strong need for
continuing search in this field of art for the improved
pharmaceutics.

[0118] Compounds of the invention may contain one or more
asymmetric carbon atoms. Accordingly, the compounds may exist as
diastereomers, enantiomers or mixtures thereof. The syntheses of
the compounds may employ racemates, diastereomers or enantiomers as
starting materials or as intermediates. Diastereomeric compounds
may be separated by chromatographic or crystallization methods.
Similarly, enantiomeric mixtures may be separated using the same
techniques or others known in the art. Each of the asymmetric
carbon atoms may be in the R or S configuration and both of these
configurations are within the scope of the invention.
[0119] A modified compound of any one of such compounds including a
modification having an improved (e.g., enhanced, greater)
pharmaceutical solubility, stability, bioavailability and/or
therapeutic index as compared to the unmodified compound is also
contemplated. The examples of modifications include but not limited
to the prodrug derivatives, and the deuterium-enriched compounds.
For example: [0120] Prodrug derivatives: prodrugs, upon
administration to a subject, will converted in vivo into active
compounds of the present invention [Nature Reviews of Drug
Discovery, 2008, Volume 7, p255]. It is noted that in many
instances, the prodrugs themselves also fall within the scope of
the range of compounds according to the present invention. The
prodrugs of the compounds of the present invention can be prepared
by standard organic reaction, for example, by reacting with a
carbamoylating agent (e.g., 1,1-acyloxyalkylcarbonochloridate,
para-nitrophenyl carbonate, or the like) or an acylating agent.
Further examples of methods and strategies of making prodrugs are
described in Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 1994, Vol.
4, p. 1985. [0121] Deuterium-enriched compounds: deuterium (D or
.sup.2H) is a stable, non-radioactive isotope of hydrogen and has
an atomic weight of 2.0144. Hydrogen naturally occurs as a mixture
of the isotopes .sup.XH (hydrogen or protium), D (.sup.2H or
deuterium), and T (.sup.3H or tritium). The natural abundance of
deuterium is 0.015%. One of ordinary skill in the art recognizes
that in all chemical compounds with a H atom, the H atom actually
represents a mixture of H and D, with about 0.015% being D. Thus,
compounds with a level of deuterium that has been enriched to be
greater than its natural abundance of 0.015%, should be considered
unnatural and, as a result, novel over their nonenriched
counterparts.
[0122] It should be recognized that the compounds of the present
invention may be present and optionally administered in the form of
salts, and solvates. For example, it is within the scope of the
present invention to convert the compounds of the present invention
into and use them in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable
salts derived from various organic and inorganic acids and bases in
accordance with procedures well known in the art.
[0123] When the compounds of the present invention possess a free
base form, the compounds can be prepared as a pharmaceutically
acceptable acid addition salt by reacting the free base form of the
compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic
acid, e.g., hydrohalides such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide,
hydroiodide; other mineral acids such as sulfate, nitrate,
phosphate, etc.; and alkyl and monoarylsulfonates such as
ethanesulfonate, toluenesulfonate and benzenesulfonate; and other
organic acids and their corresponding salts such as acetate,
tartrate, maleate, succinate, citrate, benzoate, salicylate and
ascorbate. Further acid addition salts of the present invention
include, but are not limited to: adipate, alginate, arginate,
aspartate, bisulfate, bisulfite, bromide, butyrate, camphorate,
camphorsulfonate, caprylate, chloride, chlorobenzoate,
cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dihydrogenphosphate,
dinitrobenzoate, dodecylsulfate, fumarate, galacterate (from mucic
acid), galacturonate, glucoheptaoate, gluconate, glutamate,
glycerophosphate, hemisuccinate, hemisulfate, heptanoate,
hexanoate, hippurate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, iodide,
isethionate, iso-butyrate, lactate, lactobionate, malonate,
mandelate, metaphosphate, methanesulfonate, methylbenzoate,
monohydrogenphosphate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, oxalate,
oleate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, phenylacetate,
3-phenylpropionate, phosphonate and phthalate. It should be
recognized that the free base forms will typically differ from
their respective salt forms somewhat in physical properties such as
solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are
equivalent to their respective free base forms for the purposes of
the present invention.
[0124] When the compounds of the present invention possess a free
acid form, a pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt can be
prepared by reacting the free acid form of the compound with a
pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic base. Examples of
such bases are alkali metal hydroxides including potassium, sodium
and lithium hydroxides; alkaline earth metal hydroxides such as
barium and calcium hydroxides; alkali metal alkoxides, e.g.,
potassium ethanolate and sodium propanolate; and various organic
bases such as ammonium hydroxide, piperidine, diethanolamine and
N-methylglutamine. Also included are the aluminum salts of the
compounds of the present invention. Further base salts of the
present invention include, but are not limited to: copper, ferric,
ferrous, lithium, magnesium, manganic, manganous, potassium, sodium
and zinc salts. Organic base salts include, but are not limited to,
salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, substituted amines
including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and
basic ion exchange resins, e.g., arginine, betaine, caffeine,
chloroprocaine, choline, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine (benzathine),
dicyclohexylamine, diethanolamine, 2-diethylaminoethanol,
2-dimethylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine,
N-ethylmorpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, glucamine, glucosamine,
histidine, hydrabamine, iso-propylamine, lidocaine, lysine,
meglumine, N-methyl-D-glucamine, morpholine, piperazine,
piperidine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine,
triethanolamine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tripropylamine and
tris-(hydroxymethyl)-methylamine (tromethamine). It should be
recognized that the free acid forms will typically differ from
their respective salt forms somewhat in physical properties such as
solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are
equivalent to their respective free acid forms for the purposes of
the present invention.
[0125] In one aspect, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt is a
hydrochloride salt, hydrobromide salt, methanesulfonate,
toluenesulfonate, acetate, fumarate, sulfate, bisulfate, succinate,
citrate, phosphate, maleate, nitrate, tartrate, benzoate,
biocarbonate, carbonate, sodium hydroxide salt, calcium hydroxide
salt, potassium hydroxide salt, tromethamine salt, or mixtures
thereof.
[0126] Compounds of the present invention that comprise tertiary
nitrogen-containing groups may be quaternized with such agents as
(C.sub.1-4) alkyl halides, e.g., methyl, ethyl, iso-propyl and
tert-butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides; di-(C.sub.1-4) alkyl
sulfates, e.g., dimethyl, diethyl and diamyl sulfates; alkyl
halides, e.g., decyl, dodecyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl
chlorides, bromides and iodides; and aryl (C.sub.1-4) alkyl
halides, e.g., benzyl chloride and phenethyl bromide. Such salts
permit the preparation of both water- and oil-soluble compounds of
the invention.
[0127] Amine oxides, also known as amine-N-oxide and N-oxide, of
anti-cancer agents with tertiary nitrogen atoms have been developed
as prodrugs [Mol Cancer Therapy. 2004 March; 3(3):233-44].
Compounds of the present invention that comprise tertiary nitrogen
atoms may be oxidized by such agents as hydrogen peroxide
(H.sub.2O.sub.2), Caro's acid or peracids like
meta-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA) to from amine oxide.
[0128] The invention encompasses pharmaceutical compositions
comprising the compound of the present invention and pharmaceutical
excipients, as well as other conventional pharmaceutically inactive
agents. Any inert excipient that is commonly used as a carrier or
diluent may be used in compositions of the present invention, such
as sugars, polyalcohols, soluble polymers, salts and lipids. Sugars
and polyalcohols which may be employed include, without limitation,
lactose, sucrose, mannitol, and sorbitol. Illustrative of the
soluble polymers which may be employed are polyoxyethylene,
poloxamers, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and dextran. Useful salts
include, without limitation, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride,
and calcium chloride. Lipids which may be employed include, without
limitation, fatty acids, glycerol fatty acid esters, glycolipids,
and phospholipids.
[0129] In addition, the pharmaceutical compositions may further
comprise binders (e.g., acacia, cornstarch, gelatin, carbomer,
ethyl cellulose, guar gum, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl
methyl cellulose, povidone), disintegrating agents (e.g.,
cornstarch, potato starch, alginic acid, silicon dioxide,
croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, guar gum, sodium starch
glycolate, Primogel), buffers (e.g., tris-HCL, acetate, phosphate)
of various pH and ionic strength, additives such as albumin or
gelatin to prevent absorption to surfaces, detergents (e.g., Tween
20, Tween 80, Pluronic F68, bile acid salts), protease inhibitors,
surfactants (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate), permeation enhancers,
solubilizing agents (e.g., glycerol, polyethylene glycerol,
cyclodextrins), a glidant (e.g., colloidal silicon dioxide),
anti-oxidants (e.g., ascorbic acid, sodium metabisulfite, butylated
hydroxyanisole), stabilizers (e.g., hydroxypropyl cellulose,
hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), viscosity increasing agents (e.g.,
carbomer, colloidal silicon dioxide, ethyl cellulose, guar gum),
sweeteners (e.g., sucrose, aspartame, citric acid), flavoring
agents (e.g., peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring),
preservatives (e.g., Thimerosal, benzyl alcohol, parabens),
lubricants (e.g., stearic acid, magnesium stearate, polyethylene
glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate), flow-aids (e.g., colloidal silicon
dioxide), plasticizers (e.g., diethyl phthalate, triethyl citrate),
emulsifiers (e.g., carbomer, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium lauryl
sulfate, methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose,
carboxymethylcellulose sodium), polymer coatings (e.g., poloxamers
or poloxamines), coating and film forming agents (e.g., ethyl

[0130] In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions are
prepared with carriers that will protect the compound against rapid
elimination from the body, such as a controlled release
formulation, including implants and microencapsulated delivery
systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as
ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid,
collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Methods for
preparation of such formulations will be apparent to those skilled
in the art. The materials can also be obtained commercially from

metal (e.g., magnesium) salts, and ammonium salts. A
pharmaceutically acceptable salt may involve the inclusion of
another molecule such as an acetate ion, a succinate ion or other
counter ion. The counter ion may be any organic or inorganic moiety
that stabilizes the charge on the parent compound. Furthermore, a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt may have more than one charged
atom in its structure. Instances where multiple charged atoms are
part of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have multiple
counter ions. Hence, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have
one or more charged atoms and/or one or more counter ion.

pharmacophore of the well known drug topotecan and irinotecan.
Mechlorethamine is the pharmacophore of a list of widely used
nitrogen mustard drugs like Melphalan, Cyclophosphamide,
Bendamustine, and so on.
[0176] "Prodrug" means a compound that is convertible in vivo
metabolically into an active pharmaceutical according to the
present invention. For example, an inhibitor comprising a hydroxyl
group may be administered as an ester that is converted by
hydrolysis in vivo to the hydroxyl compound.
[0177] "Stability" in general refers to the length of time a drug
retains its properties without loss of potency. Sometimes this is
referred to as shelf life. Factors affecting drug stability
include, among other things, the chemical structure of the drug,
impurity in the formulation, pH, moisture content, as well as
environmental factors such as temperature, oxidization, light, and
relative humidity. Stability can be improved by providing suitable
chemical and/or crystal modifications (e.g., surface modifications
that can change hydration kinetics; different crystals that can
have different properties), excipients (e.g., anything other than
the active substance in the dosage form), packaging conditions,
storage conditions, etc.
[0178] "Therapeutically effective amount" of a composition
described herein is meant an amount of the composition which
confers a therapeutic effect on the treated subject, at a
reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment.
The therapeutic effect may be objective (i.e., measurable by some
test or marker) or subjective (i.e., subject gives an indication of
or feels an effect). An effective amount of the composition
described above may range from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 500 mg/kg,
preferably from about 0.2 to about 50 mg/kg. Effective doses will
also vary depending on route of administration, as well as the
possibility of co-usage with other agents. It will be understood,
however, that the total daily usage of the compositions of the
present invention will be decided by the attending physician within
the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific therapeutically
effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a
variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the
severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound
employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight,
general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of
administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of
the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment;
drugs used in combination or contemporaneously with the specific
compound employed; and like factors well known in the medical
arts.
[0179] As used herein, the term "treating" refers to administering
a compound to a subject that has a neoplastic or immune disorder,
or has a symptom of or a predisposition toward it, with the purpose
to cure, heal, alleviate, relieve, alter, remedy, ameliorate,
improve, or affect the disorder, the symptoms of or the
predisposition toward the disorder. The term "an effective amount"
refers to the amount of the active agent that is required to confer
the intended therapeutic effect in the subject. Effective amounts
may vary, as recognized by those skilled in the art, depending on
route of administration, excipient usage, and the possibility of
co-usage with other agents.
[0180] A "subject" refers to a human and a non-human animal.

subject compounds of the present invention in further combination
with other biologically active ingredients (such as, but not
limited to, a second and different antineoplastic agent) and
non-drug therapies (such as, but not limited to, surgery or
radiation treatment). For instance, the compounds of the invention
can be used in combination with other pharmaceutically active
compounds, or non-drug therapies, preferably compounds that are
able to enhance the effect of the compounds of the invention. The
compounds of the invention can be administered simultaneously (as a
single preparation or separate preparation) or sequentially to the
other therapies. In general, a combination therapy envisions
administration of two or more drugs/treatments during a single
cycle or course of therapy.
[0182] In one embodiment, the compounds of the invention are
administered in combination with one or more of traditional
chemotherapeutic agents. The traditional chemotherapeutic agents
encompass a wide range of therapeutic treatments in the field of
oncology. These agents are administered at various stages of the
disease for the purposes of shrinking tumors, destroying remaining
cancer cells left over after surgery, inducing remission,
maintaining remission and/or alleviating symptoms relating to the
cancer or its treatment. Examples of such agents include, but are
not limited to, alkylating agents such as Nitrogen Mustards (e.g.,

with intermediate B, in the presence of a suitable Pd catalyst and
phosphine ligand in a suitable solvent such as a mixture of
N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethoxyethane, water and ethanol, under

oxidized to from intermediate 7, which can react with
2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide to form the intermediate 8. Finally, 8 can
react with 1,2-dibromoethane followed by a de-protecting process to

section above.
##STR00014##
[0213] In Scheme F, the staring material material
4,6-dichloro-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine can react with substituted
morpholine to form the intermediate F-2, which can react with
appropriate alcohol to obtain F-3. Finally, the coupling of F-3

[0214] The compounds and processes of the present invention will be
better understood in connection with the following examples, which
are intended as an illustration only and not limiting of the scope

Biological Example 1: Enzyme ATR
[0355] ATR for use in the in vitro enzyme assay was obtained from
HeLa nuclear extract (CIL Biotech, Mons, Belgium) by
immunoprecipitation with rabbit polyclonal antiserum raised to
amino acids 400-480 of ATR (Tibbetts R S et al, 1999, Genes Dev.
13:152-157) contained in the following buffer (25 mM HEPES (pH7.4),
2 mM MgCl.sub.2, 250 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM Na.sub.3V0.sub.4,
10% v/v glycerol, and 0.01% v/v Tween 20). ATR-antibody complexes
were isolated from nuclear extract by incubating with protein
A-Sepharose beads (Sigma, #P3476) for 1 hour and then through
centrifugation to recover the beads. In the well of a 96-well
plate, 10 ATR-containing Sepharose beads were incubated with 1
.mu.g of substrate glutathione S-transferase-p53N66
(NH.sub.2-terminal 66 amino acids of p53 fused to glutathione
{circumflex over ( )}-transferase was expressed in E. coli) in ATR
assay buffer (50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 6 mM MgCl.sub.2, 4
mM MnCl.sub.2, 0.1 mM Na.sub.3V0.sub.4, 0.1 mM DTT, and 10% (v/v)
glycerol) at 37.degree. C. in the presence or absence of inhibitor.
After 10 minutes with gentle shaking, ATP was added to a final
concentration of 3 .mu.M and the reaction continued at 37.degree.
C. for an additional 1 hour. The reaction was stopped by addition
of IOO .mu.i PBS and the reaction was transferred to a white opaque
glutathione coated 96-well plate (NUNC #436033) and incubated
overnight at 4.degree. C. This plate was then washed with
PBS/0.05%>(v/v) Tween 20, blotted dry, and analyzed by a
standard ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) technique with a
phospho-serine 15 p53 (16G78) antibody (Cell Signaling Technology,
#9286). The detection of phosphorylated glutathione
S-transferase-pSSNee substrate was performed in combination with a
goat anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary
antibody (Pierce, #31430). Enhanced chemiluminescence solution
(NEN, Boston, Mass.) was used to produce a signal and
chemiluminescent detection was carried out via a TopCount (Packard,
Meriden, Conn.) plate reader. The resulting calculated %>enzyme
activity (Activity Base, IDBS) was then used to determine the
IC.sub.50 values for the compounds (IC.sub.50 taken as the
concentration at which 50% of the enzyme activity is
inhibited).
[0356] The following table lists the IC.sub.50 values of for
certain compounds of the invention.

Biological Example 2: Cellular Assays--ATR
[0357] ATM and ATR have distinct and overlapping responses to DNA
damage. They must participate together and responses must be
co-ordinated. Both pathways may be activated by ionising radiation,
however only ATR is activated by UV. Since UV treatment is not
practical for use in a high throughput cell assay, the UV mimetic
4NQ0 (Sigma) was chosen to activate the ATR DNA damage response
pathway. Chk1, a downstream protein kinase of ATR, plays a key role
in DNA damage checkpoint control. Activation of Chk1 involves
phosphorylation of Ser317 and Ser345 (regarded as the preferential
target for phosphorylation/activation by ATR). This assay measures
a decrease in phosphorylation of Chk1 (Ser 345) in HT29 colon
adenocarcinoma cells following treatment with compound and the UV
mimetic 4NQ0. Compounds dose ranges were created by diluting in
100% DMSO and then further into assay media (EMEM, 10% FCS, 1%
glutamine) using a Labcyte Echo Acoustic dispensing instrument.
Cells were plated in 384 well Costar plates at 9.times.10.sup.4
cells per ml in 40 .mu.I.sub.{circumflex over ( )} EMEM, 10% FCS,
1% glutamine and grown for 24 hrs. Following addition of compound
the cells were incubated for 60 minutes. A final concentration of 3
M 4NQ0 (prepared in 100% DMSO) was then added using the Labcyte
Echo and the cells incubated for a further 60 mins. The cells are
then fixed by adding 40 .mu.I.sub.{circumflex over ( )} 3.7% v/v
formaldehyde solution for 20 minutes. After removal of fix, cells
were washed with PBS and permeabilised in 40 E of PBS containing
0.1% Triton.TM. X-100. Cells are then washed and 15 .mu.l primary
antibody solution (pChk1 Ser345) added and the plates incubated at
4.degree. C. overnight. The primary antibody is then washed off,
and 20 .mu.l secondary antibody solution (goat anti-rabbit Alexa
Fluor 488, Invitrogen) and I .mu.M Hoechst 33258 (Invitrogen) is
added for 90 mins at room temperature. The plates are washed and
left in 40 .mu.l PBS. Plates were then read on an ArrayScan Vti
instrument to determine staining intensities, and dose responses
were obtained and used to determine the IC.sub.50 values for the
compounds.
Biological Example 3: In Vitro Anti-Proliferation Assay in
ATM-Deficient Colorectal Cancer LoVo Cell Lines
[0358] Cell antiproliferation was assayed by PerkinElmer
ATPlite.TM. Luminescence Assay System. Briefly, the various test
cancer cell lines were plated at a density of about
1.times.10.sup.4 cells per well in Costar 96-well plates, and were
incubated with different concentrations of compounds for about 72
hours in medium supplemented with 5% FBS. One lyophilized substrate
solution vial was then reconstituted by adding 5 mL of substrate
buffer solution, and was agitated gently until the solution was
homogeneous. About 50 .mu.L of mammalian cell lysis solution was
added to 100 .mu.L of cell suspension per well of a microplate, and
the plate was shaken for about five minutes in an orbital shaker at
.about.700 rpm. This procedure was used to lyse the cells and to
stabilize the ATP. Next, 50 .mu.L substrate solution was added to
the wells and microplate was shaken for five minutes in an orbital
shaker at .about.700 rpm. Finally, the luminescence was measured by
a PerkinElmer TopCount.RTM. Microplate Scintillation Counter. Such
assays, carried out with a range of doses of test compounds,
allowed the determination of the cellular anti-antiproliferative
IC.sub.50 of the compounds of the present invention. The following
table lists the IC.sub.50 values of several cancer cell lines (5%
FBS) for certain compounds of the invention.

Biological Example 4: Mice PK Study
[0359] The pharmacokinetics of compounds were evaluated in CD-1
mouse via Intravenous and Oral Administration. The IV dose was
administered as a slow bolus in the Jugular vein, and oral doses
were administered by gavage. The formulation for IV dosing was 5%
DMSO in 20% HPBCD in water, and the PO formulation was 2.5% DMSO,
10% EtOH, 20% Cremphor EL, 67.5% D5W. The PK time point for the IV
arm was 5, 15, 30 min, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours post dose, and
for PO arm was 15, 30 min, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours post dose.
Approximately 0.03 mL blood was collected at each time point. Blood
of each sample was transferred into plastic micro centrifuge tubes
containing EDTA-K2 and collect plasma within 15 min by
centrifugation at 4000 g for 5 minutes in a 4.degree. C.
centrifuge. Plasma samples were stored in polypropylene tubes. The
samples were stored in a freezer at -75.+-.15.degree. C. prior to
analysis. Concentrations of compounds in the plasma samples were
analyzed using a LC-MS/MS method. WinNonlin (Phoenix.TM., version
6.1) or other similar software was used for pharmacokinetic
calculations. The following pharmacokinetic parameters were
calculated, whenever possible from the plasma concentration versus
time data: IV administration: C.sub.0, CL, V.sub.d, T.sub.1/2,
AUC.sub.inf, AUC.sub.last, MRT, Number of Points for Regression; PO
administration: C.sub.max, T.sub.max, T.sub.1/2, AUC.sub.inf,
AUC.sub.last, F %, Number of Points for Regression. The
pharmacokinetic data was described using descriptive statistics
such as mean, standard deviation. Additional pharmacokinetic or
statistical analysis was performed at the discretion of the
contributing scientist, and was documented in the data summary. The
AUC.sub.last of oral dosing of po, 10 mg/kg is shown in the Table
below.
