Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to certain substituted 3-cyano quinoline compounds as well as the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds of the present invention inhibit the action of certain growth factor receptor protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) thereby inhibiting the abnormal growth of certain cell types. The compounds of this invention are therefore useful for the treatment of certain diseases that are the result of deregulation of these PTKs. The compounds of this invention are anti-cancer agents and are useful for the treatment of cancer in mammals. In addition, the compounds of this invention are useful for the treatment of polycystic kidney disease in mammals. This invention also relates to the manufacture of said 3-cyano quinolines, their use for the treatment of cancer and polycystic kidney disease, and the pharmaceutical preparations containing them.
Protein tyrosine kinases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to a tyrosine residue located on a protein substrate. Protein tyrosine kinases clearly play a role in normal cell growth. Many of the growth factor receptor proteins function as tyrosine kinases and it is by this process that they effect signaling. The interaction of growth factors with these receptors is a necessary event in normal regulation of cell growth. However, under certain conditions, as a result of either mutation or overexpression, these receptors can become deregulated; the result of which is uncontrolled cell proliferation which can lead to tumor growth and ultimately to the disease known as cancer [Wilks A. F., Adv. Cancer Res., 60, 43 (1993) and Parsons, J. T.; Parsons, S. J., Important Advances in Oncology, DeVita V. T. Ed., J. B. Lippincott Co., Phila., 3 (1993) ]. Among the growth factor receptor kinases and their proto-oncogenes that have been identified and which are targets of the compounds of this invention are the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase (EGF-R kinase, the protein product of the erbB oncogene), and the product produced by the erbB-2 (also referred to as the neu or HER2) oncogene. Since the phosphorylation event is a necessary signal for cell division to occur and since overexpressed or mutated kinases have been associated with cancer, an inhibitor of this event, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, will have therapeutic value for the treatment of cancer and other diseases characterized by uncontrolled or abnormal cell growth. For example, overexpression of the receptor kinase product of the erbB-2 oncogene has been associated with human breast and ovarian cancers [Slamon, D. J., et. al., Science, 244, 707 (1989) and Science, 235, 1146 (1987)]. Deregulation of EGF-R kinase has been associated with epidermoid tumors [Reiss, M., et. al., Cancer Res., 51, 6254 (1991)], breast tumors [Macias, A., et. al., Anticancer Res., 7, 459 (1987)], and tumors involving other major organs [Gullick, W. J., Brit. Med Bull., 47, 87 (1991)]. Because of the importance of the role played by deregulated receptor kinases in the pathogenesis of cancer, many recent studies have dealt with the development of specific PTK inhibitors as potential anti-cancer therapeutic agents [some recent reviews: Burke. T. R., Drugs Future, 17, 119 (1992) and Chang, C. J.; Geahlen, R. L., J. Nat. Prod., 55, 1529 (1992)].
It is also known that deregulation of EGF receptors is a factor in the growth of epithelial cysts in the disease described as polycystic kidney disease [Du J., Wilson P. D., Amer. J. Physiol., 269(2 Pt 1), 487 (1995); Nauta J., et al., Pediatric Research, 37(6), 755 (1995); Gattone V. H., et al., Developmental. Biology, 169(2), 504 (1995); Wilson P. D., et al., Eur. J. Cell Biol., 61(1), 131, (1993)]. The compounds of this invention, which inhibit the catalytic function of the EGF receptors, are consequently useful for the treatment of this disease.
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is a major pathway in the cellular signal transduction cascade from growth factors to the cell nucleus. The pathway involves kinases at two levels: MAP kinase kinases (MAPKK), and their substrates MAP kinases (MAPK). There are different isoforms in the MAP kinase family. (For review, see Rony Seger and Edwin G. Krebs, FASEB, Vol. 9, 726, June 1995). The compounds of this invention can inhibit the action of two of these kinases: MEK, a MAP kinase kinase, and its substrate ERK, a MAP kinase. MEK is activated by phosphorylation on two serine residues by upstream kinases such as members of the raf family. When activated, MEK catalyzes phosphorylation on a threonine and a tyrosine residue of ERK. The activated ERK then phosphorylates and activates transcription factors in the nucleus, such as fos and jun, or other cellular targets with PXT/SP sequences. ERK, a p42 MAPK is found to be essential for cell proliferation and differentiation. Over-expression and/or over-activation of Mek or ERK has been found to be associated with various human cancers (For example, Vimala S. Sivaraman, Hsien-yu Wang, Gerard J. Nuovo, and Craig C. Malbon, J. Clin. Invest. Vol. 99, No. 7April 1997). It has been demonstrated that inhibition of MEK prevents activation of ERK and subsequent activation of ERK substrates in cells, resulting in inhibition of cell growth stimulation and reversal of the phenotype of ras-transformed cells (David T. Dudley, Long Pang, Stuart J. Decker, Alexander J. Bridges, and Alan R. Saltiel, PNAS, Vol. 92, 7686, August 1995). Since, as demonstrated below, the compounds of this invention can inhibit the coupled action of MEK and ERK, they are useful for the treatment of diseases such as cancer which are characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation and which, at least in part, depend on the MAPK pathway.
Epithelial Cell Kinase (ECK) is a receptor protein tyrosine kinase (RPTK) belonging to the EPH (Erythropoietin Producing Hepatoma) family. Although originally identified as an epithelial lineage-specific tyrosine kinase, ECK has subsequently been shown to be expressed on vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts. ECK is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein with the extracellular ligand-binding domain consisting of a cysteine-rich region followed by three fibronectin type III repeats. The intracellular domain of ECK possesses a tyrosine kinase catalytic domain that initiates a signal transduction cascade reflecting the ECK function. ECK binds and is subsequently activated by its counter-receptor, Ligand for Eph-Related Kinase (LERK)-1, which is an immediate early response gene product readily inducible in a lineage-unrestricted manner with proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 or TNF. Soluble LERK-1 has been shown to stimulate angiogenesis in part by stimulating ECK in a murine model of corneal angiogenesis. Unlike their normal counterparts, tumor cells of various lineages constitutively express LERK-1 and this expression can further be upregulated by hypoxia and proinflammatory cytokines. Many of these tumor cells also express ECK at higher levels than their normal counterparts, thereby creating an opportunity for autocrine stimulation via ECK LERK-1 interaction. The increased expression of both ECK and LERK-1 has been correlated with the transformation of melanomas from the noninvasive horizontal phase of growth into very invasive vertically growing metastatic melanomas. Together, the ECK:LERK-1 interaction is believed to promote tumor growth via its tumor growth promoting and angiogenic effects. Thus, the inhibition of the ECK tyrosine kinase activity mediating signaling cascade induced by its binding and cross-linking to LERK-1 may be therapeutically beneficial in cancer, inflammatory diseases, and hyperproliferative disorders. As is shown below, the compounds of this invention inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of ECK and are therefore useful for the treatment of the aforementioned disorders.
Growth of most solid tumors is dependent on the angiogenesis involving activation, proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells and their subsequent differentiation into capillary tubes. Angiogenization of tumors allows them access to blood-derived oxygen and nutrients, and also provides them adequate perfusion. Hence inhibiting angiogenesis is an important therapeutic strategy in not only cancer but also in a number of chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and so on. Tumor cells produce a number of angiogenic molecules. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is one such angiogenic factor. VEGF, a homodimeric disulfide-linked member of the PDGF family, is an endothelial cell-specific mitogen and is known to cause profound increase in the vascular endothelial permeability in the affected tissues. VEGF is also a senescence-preventing survival factor for endothelial cells. Almost all nucleated tissues in the body possess the capability to express VEGF in response to various stimuli including hypoxia, glucose deprivation, advanced glycation products, inflammatory cytokines, etc. Growth-promoting angiogenic effects of VEGF are mediated predominantly via its signaling receptor Kinase insert Domain containing Receptor (KDR). The expression of KDR is low on most endothelial cells; however, activation with angiogenic agents results in a significant upregulation of KDR on endothelial cells. Most angiogenized blood vessels express high levels of KDR. KDR is a receptor protein tyrosine kinase with an extracellular VEGF-binding domain consisting of 7 immunoglobulin-like domains and a cytoplasmic domain containing the catalytic tyrosine kinase domain split by a kinase-insert region. Binding to VEGF causes dimerization of KDR resulting in its autophosphorylation and initiation of signaling cascade. Tyrosine kinase activity of KDR is essential for mediation of its functional effects as a receptor for VEGF. Inhibition of KDR-mediated functional effects by inhibiting KDR's catalytic activity is considered to be an important therapeutic strategy in the treatment of angiogenized disease states including cancer. As is shown below, the compounds of this invention inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of KDR and are therefore useful for the treatment of the aforementioned disease states.
In addition to the above utilities some of the compounds of this invention are useful for the preparation of other compounds of this invention.
The compounds of this invention are certain substituted 3-cyano quinolines. Throughout this patent application, the quinoline ring system will be numbered as indicated in the formula below; the numbering for the quinazoline ring system is also shown: ##STR3##
No 3-cyano quinolines have been reported that have biological activity as inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases. A 3-cyano quinoline with a 4-(2-methyl anilino) substituent having gastric (H.sup.+ /K.sup.+)-ATPase inhibitory activity at high concentrations has been described [Ife R. J., et al., J. Med. Chem., 35(18), 3413 (1992)].
There are quinolines that do not have the 3-cyano substituent and, unlike the compounds of this invention, are unsubstituted at the 4-position but are reported to be inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases [Gazit A., et al., J. Med. Chem., 39(11), 2170 (1996)]. A series of quinolines that have a 3-pyridyl substituent and no substituent at the 4-position have been described as inhibitors of platelet derived growth factor receptor kinase [Dolle R. E., et al., J. Med. Chem., 372, 2627 (1994) and Maguire M. P., et al., J. Med. Chem., 372, 129 (1994)]. The patent application WO 96/09294 describes inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases that include 4-anilino quinolines with a large variety of substituents on positions 5-8 but which must also have a hydrogen atom at position 3. The U.S. Pat. No. 5,480,883 describes quinoline derivatives that are inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases but these derivatives do not have the unique combination of substituents, including the 3-cyano group, contained in the compounds of the present invention.
In addition to quinolines, certain quinazoline derivatives that are similar, in some respects, to the compounds of this invention are known to be inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases. The application EP-92305703.8 describes 4-anilinoquinazolines that contain simple substituents such as chloro, trifluoromethyl, or nitro groups at positions 5 to 8. The application EP-93300270.1 is similar but with a much larger variety of substituents now allowed at positions 5 to 8. The application WO-9609294 describes compounds with similar substituents at positions 5 to 8 and with the substituent at to 4-position consisting of some polycyclic ring systems. Some simple substituted quinazolines are also described in the applications WO-9524190, WO-9521613, and WO-9515758. The applications EP-93309680.2 and WO9523141 cover similar quinazoline derivatives where the aryl group attached at position 4 can be a variety of heterocyclic ring structures. The application EP-94305195.3 describes certain quinazoline derivatives that have alkenoylamino and alkynoylamino groups among the substituents at position 6 and a halogen atom at position 7. The application WO 9519774 describes compounds where one or more of the carbon atoms at positions 5-8 can be replaced with heteroatoms resulting in a large variety of bicyclic systems where the left-hand ring is a 5 and 6-membered heterocyclic ring; in addition, a variety of substituents are allowed on the left-hand ring. The application EP-682027-A1 describes certain pyrrolopyrimidine inhibitors of PTKs. The application WO-9519970 describes compounds in which the left-hand aromatic ring of the basic quinazoline structure has been replaced with a wide variety of different heterocyclic rings so that the resulting inhibitors are tricyclic. The application WO-94305194.6 describes quinazolines where an additional 5 or 6-membered heterocyclic ring with optional substitution is fused at positions 5 and 6.
In addition to the aforementioned patent applications, a number of publications describe 4-anilinoquinazolines: Fry, D. W., et. al., Science, 265, 1093 (1994), Rewcastle G. W., et. al., J. Med. Chem., 38, 3482 (1995), and Bridges, A. J., et. al., J. Med. Chem., 39 , 267, (1996). There are no publications that describe 3-cyano quinolines as PTK inhibitors.

To this was added the .sup.33 P-ATP (10 mCi/ml) diluted 1:10 in assay buffer along with the substrate peptide at a concentration of 0.5 mM (control reactions get no test compound) and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 30 min at 30.degree. C. The reaction was stopped with 10% TCA and left on ice for at least 10 min after which tubes were microcentrifuged at full speed for 15 min. The a portion of the supernatants were spotted on P81 phosphocellulose discs and washed twice in 1% acetic acid then water for 5 min each followed by scintillation counting.

A recombinant baculovirus (vHcEGFR52) was constructed containing the EGFR cDNA encoding amino acids 645-1186 preceded by Met-Ala-(His).sub.6. Sf9 cells in 100 mm plates were infected at an moi of 10 pfu/cell and cells were harvested 48 h post infection. A cytoplasmic extract was prepared using 1% Triton X-100 and applied to Ni-NTA column. After washing the column with 20 mM imidazole, HcEGFR was eluted with 250 mM imidazole (in 50 mM NaHPO.sub.4, pH 8.0, 300 mM NaCl).

Inhibition of Cancer Cell Growth as Measured by the Incorporation of [.sup.3 H]-Thymidine
Representative compounds of this invention were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of the cell lines described below in vitro. The inhibition is quantitated by measuring the decrease in the incorporation of radio-labeled thymidine when the cells are grown in the presence of the inhibitor. A431 and SKBR3 cell lines are obtained from American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md. Neu-3T3 cells are obtained by transfecting NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts with an activated rat Neu oncogene. NHEK cells are obtained from Clonetics (San Diego, Calif.). Cells were routinely grown in a humidified incubator in 5% CO.sub.2 in air. These cell lines are dependent on growth factors which are ligands to the receptor tyrosine kinases that are the targets of the compounds of this invention, and have the following characteristics:
A431: human epidermoid carcinoma cells overexpressing EGFR
Neu-3T3: NIH 3T3 cells transfected with activated Neu oncogene
NHEK: EGF dependent normal human epidermal keratinocytes
SKBR3: Human breast cancer cells overexpressing ErbB2 gene
The cell lines were grown in appropriate media as described below:
A431: Dulbecco's Modified Eagles Media, high glucose, BRL/Gibco (10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), Glutamine, Penicillin-Streptomycin) Dulbecco, R., Freeman, G. Virology 8, 396 (1959).
Neu-3T3: Dulbeccos Modified Eagles Media, high glucose (10% Fetal Bovine Serum, Glutamine, Penicillin-Streptomycin)
SKBR3: Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 W/GLU (10% FBS, GLU, PS) Moore, G. E., Gemer, R. E. and Franklin, H. A. A.M.A., 199, 516 (1967).
NHEK: Keratinocyte Growth Media, Clonetics Boyce, S. T. and Ham, R. G. In Vitro 17, 239 (Abstract No. 159) (1981)
Cells were seeded at 10,000 cells/well in 96 well plates in complete media and allowed to grow to log phase. At this stage the complete media was replaced with media containing 0.5% FBS (for cells growing in 10% FBS) or media lacking epidermal growth factor (EGF) (for cells growing in serum free media). After overnight incubation in low serum (or EGF lacking) media, the compounds to be evaluated were added and cells remained in the presence of compounds for 48 to 72 hours. Media with test compound was then removed and complete media was added back The cells were allowed to grow for 18 hours. This is followed by incubation in [.sup.3 H]thymidine (1 mCi/ml in serum/EGF media) for 4 hours. Cells were lysed in 0.5 M NaOH for at least 30 min at 37.degree. C. and radioactivity analyzed.
The cell growth inhibition data is provided below in TABLE 3. The IC.sub.50 is the concentration of test compound needed to reduce the amount of [.sup.3 H]thymidine incorporation by 50%. The % inhibition of the compound evaluated was determined for at least three different concentrations and the IC.sub.50 value evaluated from the dose response curve. The % inhibition is evaluated with the following formula:
where CPM(drug) is in units of counts per minute and is a number expressing the amount of [.sup.3 H]thymidine incorporated into the DNA when cells are grown in the presence of test compound as measured by liquid scintillation counting. CPM(control) is in units of counts per minute and is a number expressing the amount of [.sup.3 H]thymidine incorporated onto the DNA when cells are grown in the absence of test compound as measured by liquid scintillation counting.
As illustrated by the data presented in TABLE 3, the compounds of this invention are effective inhibitors of cancer cell growth and are therefore useful as antineoplastic agents.
Inhibition of Cancer Cell Growth as Measured by Cell Number
Human tumor cell lines were plated in 96-well plates (250 ml/well, 1-6.times.10.sup.4 cells/ml) in RPMI 1640 medium, containing 5% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum). Twenty four hours after plating, test compounds were added at five log concentrations (0.01-100 mg/ml) or at lower concentrations for the more potent compounds. After 48 hours exposure to test compounds, cells were fixed with trichloroacetic acid, and stained with Sulforhodamine B according to the methods of Skehan et al (J. Natl. Canc. Inst. 1990,, 82, 1107-1112. After washing with trichloroacetic acid, bound dye was solubilized in 10 mM Tris base and optical density was determined using plate reader. Under conditions of the assay the optical density is proportional to the number of cells in the well. IC.sub.50 s (concentrations causing 50% inhibition of cell growth) were determined from the growth inhibition plots. These data are shown below in Tables 4-8 . The cell lines were chosen since they overexpressed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (i.e. A431) or HER2/neu (SKBR3), or had little to no expression of the these receptors (SW620, LOX, MCF7). Expression levels of these receptors were determined by antibody staining methods using EGFR or HER/neu directed antibodies and was similar to previously published data (Lewis et al., Cancer Immunol. Immunother., 1993, 37: 255-262). Other information about some of the cell lines used in these test procedures is available from the American Type Tissue Collection: Cell Lines and Hybridomas, 1994 Reference Guide, 8th Edition. In the Tables below, there may be separate entries for the same compound; this is an indication that the compound was tested more than one time. In the tables below, if a compound is missing a data value for a particular cell line, this is an indication that that compound was not tested against that cell line.

ATP is then added to initiate phosphorylation. After incubation, the assay plates are washed with a suitable buffer leaving behind phosphorylated peptide which is exposed to horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-phosphotyrosine monoclonal antibody. The antibody-treated plates are washed again and the HRP activity in individual wells is quantified as a reflection of degree of substrate phosphorylation. This nonradioactive format was used to identify inhibitors of ECK tyrosine kinase activity where the IC.sub.50 is the concentration of drug that inhibits substrate phosphorylation by 50%.
Inhibition of Kinase insert Domain containing Receptor (KDR; the catalytic domain of the VEGF receptor)
In this standard pharmacological test procedure, KDR protein is mixed, in the presence or absence of a inhibitor compound, with a substrate peptide to be phosphorylated (a copolymer of glutamic acid and tyrosine, E:Y::4:1) and other cofacters such as Mg.sup.++ and sodium vanadate (a protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor) in an appropriate buffer to maintain pH (7.2). ATP and a radioactive tracer (either P.sup.32 - or P.sup.33 -labeled ATP) is then add to initiate phosphorylation. After incubation, the radioactive phosphate associated with the acid-insoluble fraction of the assay mixture is then qualified as reflection of substrate phosphorylation. This radioactive format was used to identify inhibitors of KDR tyrosine kinase activity where the IC.sub.50 is the concentration of drug that inhibits substrate phosphorylation by 50%.
Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) Assay
To evaluate inhibitors of the MAP (mitogen activated protein) kinase a two component coupled standard pharmacological test procedure, which measures phosphorylation of a serine/threonine residue in an appropriate sequence in the substrate in the presence and absence of a putative inhibitor, was used. Recombinant human MEK 1 (MAPKK) was first used to activate recombinant human ERK2 (MAPK) and the activated MAPK (ERK) was incubated with substrate (MBP peptide or MYC peptide) in the presence of ATP, Mg.sup.+2 and radiolabeled .sup.33 P ATP. The phosphorylated peptide was captured on a P 81 phosphocellulose filter (paper filter or embedded in microtiter plate) washed and counted by scintillation methods.
The peptide substrates used in the assay are MBP, peptide substrate (APRTPGGRR), or synthetic Myc substrate, (KKFELLPTPPLSPSRR.cndot.5 TFA. The recombinant enzymes used were prepared as GST fusion proteins of human ERK 2 and human MEK 1. Inhibitor samples were prepared as 10.times. stocks in 10% DMSO and an appropriate aliquot was used to deliver either 10 ug/ml for a single point screening dose or 100, 10, 1, and 0.1 uM final concentration for a dose response curve. Final DMSO concentrations were less than or equal to 1%.
The reaction was run as follows in 50 mM Tris kinase buffer, pH 7.4 in a reaction volume of 50 ul. The appropriate volume of kinase buffer and inhibitor sample was added to the tube. Appropriate dilution of enzyme was delivered to give 2-5 ug recombinant MAPK (Erk) per tube. The inhibitor was incubated with MAPK (Erk) for min at 0 deg. C. Recombinant Mek (MAPKK) (0.5-2.5 ug) or fully activated Mek (0.05-0.1 units) was added to activate the Erk and incubated for 30 min at 30.degree. C. Then substrate and gamma .sup.33 P ATP was were added to give a final concentration of 0.5-1 mM MBPP or 250-500 uM Myc; 0.2-0.5 uCi gamma P 33 ATP/tube; 50 .mu.M ATP final concentration. Samples were incubated at 30.degree. C. for 30 minutes and the reaction was stopped by adding 25 .mu.l of ice cold 10% TCA After samples were chilled on ice for 30 min, 20 .mu.l of sample was transferred onto P 81 phosphocellulose filter paper or appropriate MTP with embedded P 81 filter. Filter papers or MTP were washed 2 times with a large volume of 1% acetic acid, then 2 times with water. The filters or MTP were briefly air dried before addition of scintillant and samples were counted in the appropriate scintillation counter set up for reading .sup.33 P isotope. Samples included a positive control (activated enzyme plus substrate); a no enzyme control; a no substrate control; samples with different concentrations of putative inhibitor; and samples with reference inhibitors (other active compounds or non-specific inhibitors such as staurosporine or K252 B).
The raw data was captured as cpm. Sample replicates were averaged and corrected for background count. Mean cpm data was tabulated by group and % inhibition by a test compound was calculated as (corrected cpm control-corrected. cpm sample/control).times.100=% inhibition. If several concentrations of inhibitor were tested, IC.sub.50 values (the concentration which gives 50% inhibition) were determined graphically from the dose response curve for % inhibition or by an appropriate computer program. In the Table below, there may be separate entries for the same compound; this is an indication that the compound was evaluated more than one time.
