Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to tricyclic heteroaromatic compounds which inhibit the epidermal growth factor receptor and related receptors and, in particular, their tyrosine kinase enzymic activity.
BACKGROUND ART
Cancer is generally a disease of the intracellular signalling system, or signal transduction mechanism. Cells receive instructions from many extracellular sources, instructing them to either proliferate or not to proliferate. The purpose of the signal transduction system is to receive these and other signals at the cell surface, get them into the cell, and then pass the signals on to the nucleus, the cytoskeleton, and transport and protein synthesis machinery. The most common cause of cancer is a series of defects, either in these proteins, when they are mutated, or in the regulation of the quantity of the protein in the cell such that it is over or under produced. Most often, there are key lesions in the cell which lead to a constitutive state whereby the cell nucleus receives a signal to proliferate, when this signal is not actually present. This can occur through a variety of mechanisms. Sometimes the cell may start to produce an authentic growth factor for its own receptors when it should not, the so-called autocrine loop mechanism. Mutations to the cell surface receptors, which usually signal into the cell by means of tyrosine kinases, can lead to activation of the kinase in the absence of ligand, and passing of a signal which is not really there. Alternatively, many surface kinases can be overexpressed on the cell surface leading to an inappropriately strong response to a weak signal. There are many levels inside the cell at which mutation or overexpression can lead to the same spurious signal arising in the cell, and there are many other kinds of signalling defect involved in cancer. This invention touches upon cancers which are driven by the three mechanisms just described, and which involve cell surface receptors of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase family (EGFR). This family consists of the EGF receptor (also known as Erb-B1), the Erb-B2 receptor, and its constituitively active oncoprotein mutant Neu, the Erb-B3 receptor and the Erb-B4 receptor. Additionally, other biological processes driven through members of the EGF family of receptors can also be treated by compounds of the invention described below.
The EGFR has as its two most important ligands Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Transforming Growth Factor alpha (TGFalpha). The receptors appear to have only minor functions in adult humans, but are apparently implicated in the disease process of a large portion of all cancers, especially colon and breast cancer. The closely related Erb-B2 Erb-B3 and Erb-B4 receptors have a family of Heregulins as their major ligands, and receptor overexpression and mutation have been unequivocally demonstrated as the major risk factor in poor prognosis breast cancer. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that all four of the members of this family of receptors can form heterodimeric signalling complexes with other members of the family, and that this can lead to synergistic transforming capacity if more than one member of the family is overexpressed in a malignancy. Overexpression of more than one family member has been shown to be relatively common in human malignancies.
The proliferative skin disease psoriasis has no good cure at present. It is often treated by anti-cancer agents such as methotrexate, which have very serious side effects, and which are not very effective at the toxicity-limited doses which have to be used. It is believed that TGFalpha is the major growth factor overproduced in psoriasis, since 50% of transgenic mice which overexpress TGF alpha develop psoriasis. This suggests that a good inhibitor of EGFR signalling could be used as an antipsoriatic agent, preferably, but not necessarily, by topical dosing.
EGF is a potent mitogen for renal tubule cells. Fourfold increases in both EGF urinary secretion and EGF mRNA have been noted in mice with early stage streptozoicin-induced diabetes. In addition increased expression of the EGFR has been noted in patients with proliferative glomerulonephritis (Roychaudhury et al. Pathology 1993, 25, 327). The compounds of the current invention should be useful in treating both proliferative glomerulonephritis and diabetes-induced renal disease.
Chronic pancreatitis in patients has been reported to correlate with large increases in expression for both EGFR and TGF alpha. (Korc et al. Gut 1994, 35, 1468). In patients showing a more severe form of the disease, typified by an enlargement of the head of the pancreas, there was also shown to be overexpression of the erb-B2 receptor (Friess et al. Ann. Surg. 1994, 220, 183). The compounds of the current invention should prove useful in the treatment of pancreatitis.
In the processes of blastocyte maturation, blastocyte implantation into the uterine endometrium, and other periimplantation events, uterine tissues produce EGF and TGF alpha (Taga Nippon Sanka Fujinka Gakkai Zasshi 1992, 44, 939), have elevated levels of EGFR (Brown et al. Endocrinology, 1989, 124, 2882), and may well be induced to produce heparin-binding EGF by the proximity of the developing, but not arrested, blastocyte (Das et al. Development 1994, 120, 1071). In turn the blastocyte has quite a high level of TGF alpha and EGFR expression (Adamson Mol. Reprod. Dev. 1990, 27, 16). Surgical removal of the submandibular glands, the major site of EGF secretion in the body, and treatment with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies both greatly reduce fertility in mice (Tsutsumi et al. J. Endocrinology 1993, 138, 437), by reducing successful blastocyte implantation. Therefore, compounds of the current invention should prove to have useful contraceptive properties.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Nomenclature and Numbering as used Herein ##STR2##
Nomenclature. All tricycles containing a benzene ring fused directly to the pyrimidine ring have been named as quinazoline derivatives. All other tricycles are named as pyrimidine derivatives, either fused to a bicyclic nucleus such as indole or benzothiophene, or to two separate monocyclic heterocycles such as pyridothiophene. In such cases the first ring given is always the one distal to the pyrimidine ring.
Ring fusion numbers. For quinazoline derivatives the quinazoline nucleus is lettered counterclockwise with the N1--C2 bond being a, and the three possible ring fusion positions being f, g and h. The C-ring is numbered 15/6 from its highest atomic weight heteroatom, with the ring fusion numbering being decided by the numbered bridgehead atom which first meets the counterclockwise flow of the quinazoline lettering.
For systems with three fused heteroaromatic rings, the pyrimidine ring (A) is always chosen as the root system and is d-fused to the B-ring lettering in a clockwise direction. The central B-ring is numbered 1-5/6, starting at the heteroatom, and going first via the B/C ring junction and then the B/A ring junction. It can be numbered either clockwise, when the heteroatom is at the bottom, or counterclockwise, when the heteroatom is at the top, (as is illustrated above), and the ring fusion numbering is decided by the numbered bridgehead atom which first meets the clockwise flow of the pyrimidine lettering. The C-ring is numbered 1'-5'/6' from the highest priority heteroatom, towards lower priority heteroatoms if present, and if there are no other heteroatoms, in the direction which gives the lowest numbering to the ring junction. The first C-ring fusion number is that of the bridgehead atom which has the lowest numbering in the B-ring numbering system. In the first set of parentheses the C-ring numbers of the B/C bridgehead atoms are given, followed after the colon by the B-ring numbers for the same atoms. The second set of parentheses contain the B-ring numbers for the A/B-bridgehead atoms, followed after the dash by the shared bond in the A-ring lettering system. Thus, the example above illustrates a 5',4':2,3! 5,6-d! tricyclic system.
Substituent Numbering. In all of the examples, the numbering is taken from the bottom nitrogen of the pyrimidine A ring as 1, and then all nonbridgehead atoms are counted consecutively in a counterclockwise direction from that point, as illustrated above for a 6,6,6-system by the bolded numbers.

Preparative Routes to Compounds of the Invention
Scheme 1 for Preferred Group 1
Condensation of commercially available 3-amino-2-naphthoic acid with formamide gives the benzoquinazoline nucleus. (DMF is dimethyl formamide). Conversion of the carbonyl to halide is followed by displacement with the appropriate amine side chain.
Representative examples of compounds that can be made by this route are given in the table below.
Scheme 2 for Preferred Group 4 3,2-g!Isomer
Nitration of methyl 5-methyl-2-nitrobenzoate, and isomer separation gives the 2,4-dinitrobenzoate ester. This is converted to the corresponding benzamide with methanolic ammonia, and both the amide nitrogen and the benzylic methyl are condensed with DMF di-t-butoxy acetal. On Raney Nickel reduction of both nitro groups to amines both the pyrrole and pyrimidone rings spontaneously cyclize to give the desired pyrrolo3,2-g!quinazolone. Conversion on to the chloride with POCl.sub.3 is followed by displacement of the chlorine with the desired amine.
Scheme 3--Route for Preferred Group 5 4,5-g!Isomer
For the 4,5-g!isomer 7-chloroquinazol-4-one is nitrated at the 6-position by methods familiar to one skilled in the art. The activated 7-halide is then displaced by methoxide, the methyl ether is cleaved, the nitro group is reduced to amino, and the oxazole ring is cyclized on with formic acid. Phosphorus pentasulfide followed by methyl iodide activates the 4-position, and the synthesis is completed by displacement of the 4-methylthio group by an appropriate amine.
Scheme 4--Route for Preferred Group 5 5,4-g!Isomer
For the 5,4-g!isomer the chlorine atom of the known 5-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzamide is displaced with KOH, and the two nitro groups are then catalytically reduced to the diaminohydroxybenzamide. Treatment of this with excess orthoformate cyclizes both the oxazole and pyrimidone rings simultaneously, to give the desired tricyclic nucleus. Activation of the 4-oxo group with POCl.sub.3 or other suitable chlorinating agent followed by displacement with the appropriate amine gives the desired compounds.
Scheme 5--Route for Preferred Group 6 4,5-g!Isomer
For the 4,5-g!isomer 7-chloroquinazol-4-one is nitrated at the 6-position by methods familiar to one skilled in the art. The activated 7-halide is then displaced by methiolate ion, and the resultant thiomethyl ether is cleaved under the reaction conditions to give the corresponding thiol. The nitro group is reduced by a noncatalytic method, such as treatment with hydrosulfide ion or Zn/AcOH, and the thiazole ring is cyclized on with orthoformate. Phosphorus pentasulfide followed by methyl iodide activates the 4-position, and the synthesis is completed by displacement of the 4-methylthio group by an appropriate amine.
Scheme 6--Route for Preferred Group 6 5,4-g!Isomer
For the 5,4-g!isomer the chlorine atom of the known 5-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzamide is displaced with NaSH, and the 4-nitro group is concomitantly reduced to give an aminonitrobenzamide disulfide.

Activation of the 4-oxo group with POCl.sub.3 or other suitable chlorinating agent followed by displacement with the appropriate amine gives the desired compounds.
Scheme 7--Route for Group 7
Nitration of 7-chloroquinazol-4-one at the 6-position by methods familiar to one skilled in the art is followed by displacement of the 7-chloro compound with ammonia.

2,4-Dimethylaniline is diazotized, and cyclized to a benzopyrazole.

Scheme 9--Route to Preferred Group 10 3,4-g!Isomers
2,5-Dimethylacetanilide is nitrated, and the acetate group is saponified off. Diazotization leads to the desired benzopyrazole, which in turn is oxidized to the corresponding benzoic acid derivative. Catalytic reduction of the nitro group with Pd/C is followed by formamidine acetate ring cyclization. The pyrimidone is activated to displacement in one of the usual fashions, and a suitable amine is then introduced at the 4-position to give the desired compound.

Scheme 12--Route to Preferred Group 13 B & E Nitrogen
Reaction of 1,3-diaminobenzene with chloral and hydroxylamine, followed by cyclization with conc. sulfuric acid gives the bis-isatin type tricycle.

Scheme 14--Route to Preferred Group 33 4,5-h! Isomer
Nitration of 7-chloroquinazol-4-one by means obvious to one skilled in the art gives the 8-nitro derivative as a minor product.

Fusion of the imidazole ring by a formic acid derivative gives the parent ring skeleton, and then the carbonyl is activated via phosphorus pentasulfide and methyl iodide, as described previously and displaced with an appropriate amine to give the desired product.

2-Fluorobenzonitrile or a suitably substituted derivative of it is treated with ethyl thioglycollate and a base in a dipolar aprotic solvent to give an ethyl 3-aminobenzothiophene-2-carboxylate derivative.

Scheme 16--Route to Preferred Group 39 3,2-d! Isomer
In a variant of the route described in Scheme 15, lithiation of a suitably substituted fluorobenzene ortho to the fluorine atom is followed by carbonylation. The aldehyde is converted onto a suitable 2-fluorobenzonitrile derivative by oxime formation and dehydration. Alternatively the initial anion can be carboxylated and the resulting acid can be converted via the amide to the desired nitrile. This is then put through the sequence described in Scheme 15, to prepare derivatives which could not be obtained by substitution on 2-fluorobenzonitrile.
Scheme 17--Route to Preferred Group 39 2,3-d! Isomer
Commercially available 4,6-dichloropyrimidine can be monodisplaced with 2-bromobenzenethiolate to give a diarylsulfide.

Scheme 18--Route to Preferred Group 41 3',2':2,3! 4,5-d! Isomer
Halogen-metal exchange on 3-bromothiophene in ether at low temperature, followed by treatment with sulfur and then methyl bromoacetate gives methyl (thien-3-ylthio)acetate. Vilsmeier formylation using N-methylformanilide introduces a 2-formyl group on the thienyl ring, without inducing aldol cyclization. Reaction of the aldehyde to the oxime, followed by mesyl chloride/NEt.sub.3 dehydration gives the corresponding nitrile, which cyclizes to methyl 3-aminothieno3,2-b!thiophene-2-carboxylate on heating to 100.degree.

Protection of the aldehyde as an acetal is followed by selective removal of the 2-chlorine by halogen-metal exchange and hydrolysis. The aldehyde is oxidized up to the corresponding nitrile by oxime formation and dehydration, and 4-chloro-5-cyanothiazole on treatment with fresh 2-mercaptoacetamide in basic conditions gives 6-aminothieno2,3-d!thiazole-5-carboxamide. This can be cyclized to the tricycle with ethyl orthoformate, and the carbonyl replaced by POCl.sub.3 in the usual manner, and the chloride is then displaced by a suitable amine to give the desired product.
Scheme 21--Route to Preferred Group 45 4',5':2,3! 4,5-d! Isomer
1,N-Benzyl-4,5-dibromoimidazole is lithiated with butyl lithium and formylated with DMF.

Biology
These compounds are potent and selective inhibitors of the human EGF receptor tyrosine kinase, and other members of the EGF receptor family, including the ERB-B2, ERB-B3 and ERB-B4 receptor kinases, and are useful for the treatment of proliferative diseases in mammals. These inhibitors prevent mitogenesis in cells where mitogenesis is driven by one or more of this family of receptor kinases. This can include normal cells, where it is desired to prevent mitogenesis, as exemplified by the cells transformed by overexpression or mutation of this kinase family as exemplified by poor prognosis breast cancer where overexpression of EGFR, ERB-B2 and ERB-B3 or mutation of ERB-B2 to the oncoprotein NEU is a major factor in cellular transformation. As the preferred compounds are not highly cytotoxic and do not show potent growth inhibitory properties, because of their high specificity toward inhibition of the EGFR kinase family, they should have a much cleaner toxicity profile than most anti-cancer and anti-proliferative drugs. Their very different mode of action to current anti-cancer drugs should allow for their use in multiple drug therapies, where synergism with available agents is anticipated.
Compounds of the invention have been shown to be very potent, reversible inhibitors of the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase, by binding with high affinity at the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding site of the kinase. These compounds exhibit potent IC.sub.50 s, varying from 10 micromolar to 50 picomolar, for the tyrosine kinase activity of the enzyme, based on an assay examining phosphorylation of a peptide derived from the phosphorylation site of the protein PLCgamma1, a known EGFR phosphorylation substrate. This data is shown in Table 1.

The reaction was terminated by the addition of 2 mL of 75 mM phosphoric acid and passed through a 2.5 cm phosphocellulose filter disc to bind the peptide. The filter was washed five times with 75 mM phosphoric acid and placed in a vial along with 5 mL of scintillation fluid (Ready gel Beckman).
Cells
Swiss 3T3 mouse fibroblasts, A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells, and MCF-7 (Michigan Cancer Foundation human mammary carcinoma cells), SK-BR-3 (human mammary carcinoma cells), MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 (human mammary carcinoma cells) breast carcinomas were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md. and maintained as monolayers in dMEM (Dulbecco's modified eagle medium)/F12, 50:50 (Gibco/BRL) containing 10% fetal bovine serum. To obtain conditioned medium, MDA-MB-231 cells were grown to confluency in an 850 cm.sup.2 roller bottle and the medium replaced with 50 ml of serum-free medium. After 3 days the conditioned medium was removed, frozen down in aliquots and used as a heregulin source to stimulate erbB-2, 3, 4.
Antibodies
Monoclonal antibodies raised to phosphotyrosine were obtained from Upstate Biotechnology, Inc., Lake Placid, N.Y. Anti-EGF receptor antibodies were obtained from Oncogene Science, Uniondale, N.Y.
Immunoprecipitation and Western Blot
Cells were grown to 100% confluency in 100 mm Petrie dishes (Corning). After the cells were treated for 5 minutes with either EGF (epidermal growth factor), PDGF, or bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor) (20 ng/ml) or 1 ml of conditioned media from MDA-MB-231 cells, the media was removed and the monolayer scraped into 1 ml of ice cold lysis buffer (50 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 1% triton X-100, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 10 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 30 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate, 1 mM orthovanadate, 50 mM sodium fluoride, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride, 10 .mu.g/ml of aprotinin, and 10 .mu.g/ml of leupeptin). The lysate was transferred to a microfuge tube (small centrifuge that holds 1-2 ml plastic centrifuge tubes), allowed to sit on ice 15 minutes and centrifuged 5 minutes at 10,000.times. g. The supernatant was transferred to a clean microfuge tube and 5 .mu.g of antibody was added to designated samples. The tubes were rotated for 2 hours at 4.degree. C. after which 25 .mu.l of protein A sepharose was added and then rotation continued for at least 2 more hours. The protein A separose was washed 5 times with 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide. The precipitates were resuspended with 30 .mu.l of Laemlli buffer (Laemmli, NATURE, Vol. 727, pp. 680-685, 1970), heated to 100.degree. C. for 5 minutes and centrifuged to obtain the supernatant. Whole cell extracts were made by scraping cells grown in the wells of 6 well plates into 0.2 ml of boiling Laemmli buffer. The extract were transferred to a microfuge tube and heated to 100.degree. C. for 5 minutes. The entire supernatant from the immunoprecipitation or 35 .mu.l of the whole cell extract was loaded onto a polyacrylamide gel (4-20%) and electrophoresis carried out by the method of Laemlli (Laemmli, 1970). Proteins in the gel were electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose and the membrane was washed once in 10 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl, 0.01% Azide (TNA) and blocked overnight in TNA containing 5% bovine serum albumin and 1% ovalbumin (blocking buffer). The membrane was blotted for 2 hours with the primary antibody (1 .mu.g/ml in blocking buffer) and then washed 2 times sequentially in TNA, TNA containing 0.05% Tween-20 and 0.05% Nonidet P-40 (commercially available detergent) and TNA. The membranes were then incubated for 2 hours in blocking buffer containing 0.1 .mu.Ci/ml of .sup.125 I! protein A and then washed again as above. After the blots were dry they were loaded into a film cassette and exposed to X-AR X-ray film for 1-7 days. Protein A is a bacterial protein that specifically bonds certain IgG subtypes and is useful in binding to and isolating antibody-antigen complexes.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can take any of a wide variety of oral and parenteral dosage forms. The dosage forms comprise as the active components an inhibitor as defined previously.
For preparing pharmaceutical compositions, one uses inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as dilutents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, or tablet disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active compounds. In the tablet, the active compounds are mixed with carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5% or 10% to about 70% of active ingredients. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active compounds with encapsulating materials as carrier, providing a capsule in which the active components (with or without other carriers) are surrounded by carrier, which are thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets, powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration.
Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution. Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing, and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active components in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and other well-known suspending agents.
Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation may be subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of inhibitor and other anti-cancer materials individually or as a combination, i.e., in a mixture. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form. Additionally, the unit dosage form may be a dividable form having an inhibitor in one part and other anti-cancer materials in the other part, such as, a dividable capsule, a dividable package, or a two-part ampoule, vial or the like.
The quantity of an inhibitor in unit dosages of preparation may be varied or adjusted from about 0.01 mg/kg to 100.0 mg/kg, preferably 0.03 mg/kg to less than 1.0 mg/kg of inhibitor.
The pharmaceutical compositions preferably are constituted so that they can be administered parenterally or orally. Solutions of the active compounds as free bases and free acids or pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be prepared in water suitable mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of the microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion, and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paragens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferred to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, gelatin.
Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compounds in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredients, into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of the sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and the freeze-drying technique which yields a powder of active ingredients plus an additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.
As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active ingredients can also be incorporated into the compositions.
It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for the mammalian subjects to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active materials calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the novel dosage unit forms of the invention are dictated by and directly dependent on (a) the unique characteristics of the active materials and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitation inherent in the art of compounding such active materials for the treatment of disease in living subjects having a diseased condition in which bodily health is impaired as herein disclosed in detail.
The principal active ingredients are compounded for convenient and effective administration in effective amounts with a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in dosage unit form as hereinbefore disclosed. A unit parenteral dosage form can, for example, contain the principal active compound, i.e. an inhibitor, in amounts ranging from about 0.5 to about 100 mg, with from about 0.1 to 50 mg being preferred. The daily parenteral doses for mammalian subjects to be treated ranges from 0.01 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg of the inhibitor. The preferred daily dosage range is 0.1 mg/kg to 1.0 mg/kg.
For oral dosages, the daily amount may range from 0.01 mg of active compound/kg of mammalian subject to 100 mg/kg, preferably 0.1 to 10 mg/kg of subject.
The inhibitor described above may form commonly known, pharmaceutically acceptable salts such as alkali metal and other common basic salts or acid addition salts, etc. References to the base substances are therefore intended to include those common salts known to be substantially equivalent to the parent compound and hydrates thereof.
The active compounds described herein are capable of further forming both pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition and/or base salts. All of these forms are within the scope of the present invention.
Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the active compounds include salts derived from nontoxic inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric, hydrobromic, hydriodic, hydrofluoric, phosphorous, and the like, as well as the salts derived from nontoxic organic acids, such as aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxy alkanoic acids, alkanedioic acids, aromatic acids, aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids, etc. Such salts thus include sulfate, pyrosulfate, bisulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, nitrate, phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, chloride, bromide, iodide, acetate, trifluoroacetate, propionate, caprylate, isobutyrate, oxalate, malonate, succinate, suberate, sebacate, fumarate, maleate, mandelate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, methylbenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, phthalate, benzenesulfonate, toluenesulfonate, phenylacetate, citrate, lactate, maleate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, and the like. Also contemplated are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like and gluconate, galacturonate (see, for example, Berge, S. M. et al, "Pharmaceutical Salts", JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE, 66, pp. 1-19 (1977)).
The acid addition salts of said basic compounds are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt in the conventional manner. Preferably, an active compound can be converted to an acidic salt by treating with an aqueous solution of the desired acid, such that the resulting pH is less than 4. The solution can be passed through a C18 cartridge to absorb the compound, washed with copious amounts of water, the compound eluted with a polar organic solvent such as, for example, methanol, acetonitrile, and the like, and isolated by concentrating under reduced pressure followed by lyophilization. The free base form may be regenerated by contacting the salt form with a base and isolating the free base in the conventional manner. The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to their respective free base for purposes of the present invention.
Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like. Examples of suitable amines are N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, dicyclohexylamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine, and procaine (see, for example, Berge, S. M. et al, "Pharmaceutical Salts", JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE, 66, pp. 1-19 (1977)).
The base addition salts of said acidic compounds are prepared by contacting the free acid form with a sufficient amount of the desired base to produce the salt in the conventional manner. Preferably, an active compound can be converted to a base salt by treating with an aqueous solution of the desired base, such that the resulting pH is greater than 9. The solution can be passed through a C18 cartridge to absorb the compound, washed with copious amounts of water, the compound eluted with a polar organic solvent such as, for example, methanol, acetonitrile and the like, and isolated by concentrating under reduced pressure followed by lyophilization. The free acid form may be regenerated by contacting the salt form with an acid and isolating the free acid in the conventional manner. The free acid forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to their respective free acids for purposes of the present invention.
Certain of the compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms, including hydrated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
Certain of the compounds of the present invention possess one or more chiral centers and such center may exist in the R(D) or S(L) configuration. The present invention includes all enantiomeric and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof.
While the forms of the invention herein constitute presently preferred embodiments, many others are possible. It is not intended herein to mention all of the possible equivalent forms or ramifications of the invention. It is understood that the terms used herein are merely descriptive rather than limiting and that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. ##STR31##
