TECHNICAL FIELD
[0008] The present invention relates to bicyclic heteroaromatic compounds which inhibit the epidermal growth factor receptor and related receptors and, in particular, their tyrosine kinase enzymic activity.
BACKGROUND ART
[0009] 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.
[0010] 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.
[0011] The proliferative skin disease psoriasis has no good cure at present. It is often treated by anticancer 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.
[0012] 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. Pathology1993, 25, 327). The compounds of the current invention should be useful in treating both proliferative glomerulonephritis and diabetes-induced renal disease.
[0013] Chronic pancreatitis in patients has been reported to correlate with large increases in expression for both EGFR and TGF alpha. (Korc et al. Gut1994, 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.
[0014] 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 Zasshi1992, 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. Development1994, 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. Endocrinology1993, 138, a37), by reducing successful blastocyte implantation. Therefore, compounds of the current invention should prove to have useful contraceptive properties.
[0015] PCT patent application Nos. WO92/07844 published May 14, 1992 and WO92/14716 published Sep. 3, 1992 describe 2,4-diaminoquinazoline as potentiators of chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer.
[0016] PCT published application No. WO92/20642 published Nov. 26, 1992 discloses bismono- and bicyclic aryl and heteroaryl compounds which inhibit EGF and/or PDGF receptor tyrosine kinase.
[0017] It is an object of the present invention to inhibit the mitogenic effects of epidermal growth factor utilizing an effective amount of bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused heterocyclic pyrimidine derivatives.
[0018] It is another object of the present invention to describe bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused heterocyclic pyrimidine derivatives, as inhibitors of the EGF, Erb-B2 and Erb-B4 receptor tyrosine kinases.
[0019] It is yet another object of the present invention to describe bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused heterocyclic pyrimidine derivatives, that are useful at low dosages as inhibitors of EGF-induced mitogenesis. This therefore leads to a further object of compounds having extremely low cytotoxicity.
[0020] It is a further object of the present invention to describe bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused heterocyclic pyrimidine derivatives, that are useful in suppressing tumors, especially breast cancers, where mitogenesis is heavily driven by EGFR family members.
[0021] It is another object of the present invention to describe bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused heterocyclic pyrimidine derivatives, that have utility as chronic therapy as inhibitors of EGF-induced responses.
[0022] It is another object of the current invention to describe bicyclic pyrimidine derivatives, in particular fused heterocyclic pyrimidine derivatives, that have utility as therapeutic agents against proliferative overgrowth diseases, including but not limited to, synovial pannus invasion in arthritis, vascular restenosis, psoriasis and angiogenesis. The compounds disclosed herein also are useful to treat pancreatitis and kidney disease and as a contraceptive agent.

Preparative Routes to Compounds of the Invention
[0121] Scheme 1—Route for Preferred Groups 1-5, R4=H
[0122] Displacement of the 2-chloro of 2,6-dichloro-3-nitropyridine is carried out by cuprous cyanide in NMP. Displacement of the second chlorine of this nitrile by fluoride at this step can be advantageous. This is followed by a mild reduction of the nitro group, under conditions where the halogen is not hydrogenolysed. Hydrolysis of the nitrile followed by orthoformate cyclization, and Vilsmeier-type chlorination will give the dihalo-pyridopyrimidine. Displacement of the more reactive 4-chlorine with an appropriate amine is followed by displacement of the 6-halogen with the appropriate nucleophile, ammonia, lower alkylamine, hydrazine, methoxide, to form the final products. (NMP is a solvent, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone).
[0123] 1. A preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R3or R4H, with the other one lower alkoxy or halogen.
[0124] 2. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R3or R4H, with the other one amino.
[0125] 3. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E is carbon, with A nitrogen and R3or R4H, with the other one lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0126] 4. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R3or R4H, with the other one hydrazino.
[0127] 5. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R3or R4H, with the other one lower alkyl.
[0128] Scheme 2—Route to Preferred Groups 1-5, R3=H
[0129] Displacement of chlorine from 2-chloro-3,5-dinitropyridine is accomplished with CuCN in NMP. Reduction of the nitro groups to amines is followed by hydrolysis of the nitrile to an amide. This is cyclized to the pyrimidone with orthoformate, which is converted to the chloride by POCl3or possibly turned into the thiomethyl derivative by treatment with phosphorus pentasulfide followed by MeI and a mild base. Displacement with the appropriate amine gives the desired 7-amino compound. The amine functionality can be reductively alkylated or activated by diazotisation of the amino group under acidic or basic conditions, followed by a reduction to the hydrazide, or conversion into a lower alkyl ether, or to a halogen followed by a cuprate or Stille coupling by methods familiar to those skilled in the art. Alternatively, the amine can be reductively aminated, or acylated and reduced to form the alkylamino side chain.
[0130] Scheme 3—Route to Preferred Groups 6 and 8-10 where R4=RO
[0131] The known metalation of 2,6-difluoropyridine is exploited twice. LDA treatment followed by a borate/hydrogen peroxide introduces the 3-hydroxy substituent. If the pyridine undergoes the 2nd metalation at the 4 position, the alcohol can be protected as a TIPS (triisopropyl silyl)-ether, which will force the second metalation to the 5-position. Alternative nitrations may be used, such as converting the lithium intermediate to a stannane and treatment with tetranitromethane, or the use of NO2BF4(nitronium tetrafluoroborate). The C1displacement may be effected by cuprous cyanide or other sources of cyanide ion. After nitrile hydrolysis and nitro group reduction, ethyl orthoformate may be used instead of formamide for the cyclization, and it may be that some cyclizations will require displacement of F by MeS prior to the reaction. The 4-position is activated by chlorination, and the sidechain amine is then introduced. The final displacement can be by alkoxide or amine nucleophiles to generate the various dialkoxy and amino-alkoxy species, and the appropriate use of R can allow the 7-hydroxyl group to be unmasked at the end of the synthesis. (LDA means lithium diisopropyl amide).
[0132] 6. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R3and R4lower alkoxy.
[0133] 8. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen, and R3or R4amino, with the other one lower alkoxy.
[0134] 9. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen, and R3or R4lower mono or dialkylamino, with the other one lower alkoxy.
[0135] 10. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R3lower mono or dialkylamino, with R4hydroxy.
[0136] Scheme 4—Route to Preferred Group 7
[0137] Use of the 6-alkylquinaldic acid followed by ionic bromination under forcing conditions gives an anhydride, which is opened with ammonia, recyclized to the imide, and then the Hoffman degradation occurs at the less active carbonyl. Cyclization and ring side chain addition in the normal manner is followed by a Stille coupling to introduce the R4alkyl group. At this step alkenyl or aryl substituents could also be introduced using this coupling technology.
[0138] 7. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen and R3and R4lower alkyl.
[0139] Scheme 5—Route to Preferred Groups 8, 9, R3=OR
[0140] Dinitration of 2,6-dihydroxypyridine is followed by conversion to the very reactive dichlorocompound. The dinitrodichloropyridine is singly displaced by cuprous cyanide in NMP, and then the compound is reduced under mild conditions to the diamine. The nitrile is hydrolysed to the amide, which can then be cyclized to the pyridopyrimidone, which is 4-chlorinated in the usual fashion. Displacement of the more reactive chlorine with the 4-sidechain is followed by displacement of the 6-chlorine with alkoxid. For group 9, the amine should be alkylated appropriately by methods familiar to one skilled in the art.
[0141] Scheme 6—Route to Preferred Group 11
[0142] Compounds of preferred group 11 are specialized cases of preferred groups 6, 8, 9 and 10, where R3and R4are cyclized together. They can be made using the same routes as those described for the preferred groups, with minor modifications, which will be obvious to one skilled in the art. For example vicinally substituted alkoxy amino compounds can be dealkylated, and the corresponding vicinal aminoalcohols can be bisalkylated with an appropriate dihaloalkane.
[0143] 11. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B, D & E carbon, with A nitrogen, and R3and R4taken together are dioxymethylene, dioxyethylene, 2,3-fused piperazine, 2,3-fused morpholine or 2,3-fused thiomorpholine.
[0144] Scheme 7—Route for Preferred Groups 12-16
[0145] 2,4-Diamino-5-cyanopyridine can be cyclized directly to many 4-benzylaminopyridopyrimidine derivatives by treatment with the benzylamine and formic acid at high temperature. For less nucleophilic amines 2,4-diamino-5-cyanopyridine is converted via ethyl orthoformate/acetic anhydride treatment, followed by cyclization with hydrosulfide ion in anhydrous conditions, to give 7-amino-4-thiono-3H-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine. S-Alkylation and displacement with an appropriate amine gives the desired product. If R4is not amino, the amine can be acylated, or reductively alkylated. Alternatively 2,4-diamino-5-cyanopyridine can be hydrolysed to the corresponding amide, and this species can be cyclized to 7-amino-4-oxo-3H-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine with orthoformate. Diazotization of the 7-amine and replacement with fluorine allows for introduction of other amine and alkoxide nucleophiles at the end of the synthesis after the C4 substituent has been introduced in the usual manner. Diazotization and replacement of the amine with bromide allows for Stille couplings at the 7-position.
[0146] 12. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, D & E carbon, with B nitrogen and R4lower alkoxy or halogen.
[0147] 13. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, D & E carbon, with B nitrogen and R4amino.
[0148] 14. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, D & E carbon, with B nitrogen and R4lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0149] 15. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or l, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, D & E carbon, with B nitrogen and R4hydrazino.
[0150] 16. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, C & E carbon, with B nitrogen and R4lower alkyl.
[0151] Scheme 8—Route for Preferred Groups 17-21
[0152] 2-Chloro-5-nitropyridine is converted to the corresponding 2-fluorocompound by KF in DMSO. Reduction of the nitro group followed by treatment with Boc anhydride gives the Bocamino derivative, which can be metalated and carboxylated at the 4-position. Removal of the Boc with TFA and cyclization of the pyrimidone ring with formamide gives 6-fluoro-4-oxo-3H-pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine. This is 4-chlorinated in the usual manner and the 4-sidechain is introduced via displacement with an appropriate amine. Displacement of the 6-fluorine with appropriate nucleophiles leads to various different final products. If the fluorine is displaced by thiomethoxide, that in turn can be displaced by alkyl groups in Ni-catalyzed Grignard displacements.
[0153] 17. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & E carbon, with D nitrogen and R3lower alkoxy or halogen.
[0154] 18. Another preferred form of the invention has X=Hi, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & E carbon, with D nitrogen and R3amino.
[0155] 19. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & E carbon, with D nitrogen and R3lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0156] 20. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & E carbon, with D nitrogen and R3hydrazino.
[0157] 21. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & E carbon, with D nitrogen and R3lower alkyl.
[0158] Scheme 9—Route to Preferred Groups 22-26, R4=H
[0159] Nitration of 2-methoxynicotinic acid is followed by displacement of the activated methoxy group and cyclization of the pyrimidone ring, possibly all in one step with formamidine, or alternatively in two steps with ammonia followed by cyclization with a formamide equivalent. The carbonyl is converted to the chloride and displaced with the sidechain in the usual fashion, and the nitro group is then selectively reduced to amino. This can be alkylated, acylated or diazotized. The diazo compound can be converted to hydroxy or to the bromide or iodide, and these latter can undergo a Stille coupling to introduce lower alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, etc. at R3.
[0160] 22. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R3or R4H, with the other one lower alkoxy.
[0161] 23. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R3or R4H, with the other one amino.
[0162] 24. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R3or R4H, with the other one lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0163] 25. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R3or R4H, with the other one hydrazino.
[0164] 26. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R3or R4H, with the other one lower alkyl.
[0165] Scheme 10—Route to Preferred Groups 22-26, R3=H
[0166] This route uses the known metalation and carboxylation of 2,6-difluoropyridine, followed by displacement of the 2-fluoro substituent. Cyclization of the pyrimidone ring with formamide, followed by conversion of the carbonyl into chloride in a normal manner gives a chlorofluoropyridopyrimidine. The ar(alk)ylamino sidechain is introduced by displacement of the more reactive pyrimidine chlorine, and the R4substituent is then introduced by fluoride displacement. The introduction of alkyl utilizes displacement of by alkoxide, later ether cleavage to the pyridone, O-triflation and Stille coupling.
[0167] Scheme 11—Route to Preferred Groups 27 and 29-31, R3=RO
[0168] This scheme relies on the metalation of 2,6-difluoropyridine similarly to scheme 10. The first metalation is used to introduce oxygen, and the second to introduce the carboxylic acid. If required to force the second metalation to the 5-position the oxygen may be protected as the very bulky TIPS ether, and stronger bases than LDA may be required. Ammonia is introduced at the 2-position under high temperature and pressure, and the pyridone ring is cyclized, and activated at the 4-position in the usual manner and then displaced with the 4-position sidechain. Displacement of the 7-fluoro substituent with an appropriate nucleophile, followed by conversions as described in previous schemes finishes the synthesis.
[0169] 27. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R3and R4lower alkoxy.
[0170] 29. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen, and R3or R4amino, with the other one lower alkoxy.
[0171] 30. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen, and R3or R4lower mono or dialkylamino, with the other one lower alkoxy.
[0172] 31. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R4lower mono or dialkylamino, with R3hydroxy.
[0173] Scheme 12—Route to Preferred Group 28
[0174] 5-Bromo-2,6-difluoronicotinic acid is prepared from 2,6-difluoropyridine by successive lithiations using LDA. The 5-position is alkylated via a Stille coupling, and the pyrimidone ring is cyclized on in two steps. The 4-substituent is introduced in the usual fashion and the 7-fluoro group is displaced with thiomethoxide. This thioether in turn is displaced by a Grignard agent in the presence of a nickel salt catalyst. Again use of appropriate organometallic reagents in the Stille and Grignard couplings could lead to alkenyl, alkynyl and aryl substituents at R3and R4.
[0175] 28. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen and R3and R4lower alkyl.
[0176] Scheme 13—Route to Preferred Groups 29 and 30, R4=RO
[0177] Nitration of the commercially available dichloronicotinic acid is followed by a selective displacement of the more reactive Cl under mild conditions, followed by a more forcing displacement of the other Cl, in the appropriate order. The resulting 6-alkoxy-2-amino-5-nitronicotinic acid is cyclized to the pyrimidone, and the 4-carbonyl is converted to a chloride and displaced in the usual fashion with an appropriate amine to give the 4-amino-7-alkoxy-6-nitropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine. Reduction of the nitro group, followed by any desired alkylation or acylation gives the desired compounds.
[0178] Scheme 14—Route to Preferred Group 32
[0179] Compounds of group 32 are specialized cases of preferred groups 27, 29, 30 and 31, where R3and R4are cyclized together. They can be made using the same routes as those described for these preferred groups with minor modifications. For example, vicinally substituted alkoxy amino compounds can be dealkylated, and the corresponding vicinal amino alcohols can be bisalkylated with an appropriate dihaloalkane. Piperazines can be made by the route shown in Scheme 13, provided that a suitable amine nucleophile is used to displace the 6-chloro substituent instead of an alkoxide.
[0180] 32. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A, B & D carbon, with E nitrogen, and R3and R4taken together are dioxymethylene, dioxyethylene, 2,3-fused piperazine, 2,3-fused morpholine or 2,3-fused thiomorpholine.
[0181] Scheme 15—Route to Preferred Groups 33-36
[0182] Reaction of a suitable S-alkylisothiouronium salt with methoxymethylidine malononitrile yields a fully functionalized pyritnide precursor. The initially formed pyrimidine can have the SEt displaced by R4either before or after the nitrile hydrolysis, if displacement or oxidation prove problematic later. Displacement of the SEt group can also be achieved without an oxidation to activate the sulfur. Cyclization of the second pyrimidine ring is followed by activation of the 4-carbonyl by thiation and alkylation. Even if the 7-thio group has not been displaced at this point, introduction of the 4-amino sidechain occurs preferentially.
[0183] 33. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A & D carbon, with B and E nitrogen and R4lower alkoxy.
[0184] 34. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A & D carbon, with B and E nitrogen and R4lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0185] 35. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A & D carbon, with B and E nitrogen and R4amino.
[0186] 36. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, A & D carbon, with B and E nitrogen and R4hydrazino.
[0187] Scheme 16—Route to Preferred Groups 37-40
[0188] The pterine nucleus is made by well-established procedure. For group 37, the pterindione intermediate can be O-alkylated, and for it, and the other groups, the pterindione can be converted to the trichloropterin, and selective displacements can be carried out on the halogens in an order appropriate to give the desired compound.
[0189] 37. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B & D carbon, with A and E nitrogen and R3and R4lower alkoxy.
[0190] 38. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B & D carbon, with A and E nitrogen and R3and R4lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0191] 39. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B & D carbon, with A and E nitrogen and R3or R4lower alkoxy, with the other lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0192] 40. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, B & D carbon, with A and E nitrogen and R3and R4taken together are ethylenedioxy, 2,3-fused piperazine, 2,3-fused morpholine or 2,3-fused thiomorpholine.
[0193] Scheme 17—Route to Preferred Groups 41 [3,2-d] Ring Fusion
[0194] 3,H-Thieno[3,2-d]pyrimid-4-one can be made by standard chemistry from commercially available ethyl 3-aminothiophene carboxylate and formamide. Conversion of the carbonyl to chloride by standard techniques followed by displacement with an appropriate amine gives the desired thieno [3,2-d]pyrimidines. If R4is not H, an appropriate electrophile, for example nitro for amine based or diazotization derived substituents, or Br for Stille is coupled final products, can be introduced either at the stage shown or an earlier stage, and then be converted to R4, by reduction and amination for example or by Stille coupling, or other methods known to those skilled in the art. [This technique follows also for all of the following preferred categories which have the possibility of substitution on R3or R4, as they are all contain electron rich five memberedrings which can be readily manipulated by electrophilic aromatic substitution.] (DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide).
[0195] 41. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, and either A and B taken together are a sulfur atom, with D & E carbon, or A & B are carbon with D and E taken together as a sulfur atom, with R4or R3H, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, amino, or lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0196] Scheme 18—Route to Preferred Groups 41 [2,3-d] Ring Fusion
[0197] Thieno[2,3-d]pyrimid-4-one is built up by the Gewald synthesis from 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-dithiane and ethyl cyanoacetate, followed by formamide cyclization. Conversion of the carbonyl to chloride by standard techniques followed by displacement with an appropriate amine gives the desired thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines.
[0198] Scheme 19—Route to Preferred Groups 42 [3,2-d] Ring Fusion
[0199] The [3,2-d] ring fusion compounds are obtained from 3-bromofurfural as shown above in Scheme A. Displacement of the bromide by azide, followed by oxidation of the aldehyde sets up the basic aminofuroic acid needed to fuse on the pyrimidine ring. The annulation shown can be used, or by manipulating which acid derivative is actually used, one could use a variety of other ring annulations, and subsequent activations of the 4-position if required.
[0200] 42. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, and either A and B taken together are an oxygen atom, with D & E carbon, or A & B are carbon with D and E taken together as an oxygen atom, with R4or R3H, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, amino, or lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0201] Scheme 20—Route to Preferred Groups 42 [2,3-d] Rind Fusion
[0202] Reaction of 6-chloro-4-methylthiopyrimidine with LDA followed by DMF gives the corresponding 5-aldehyde, which is treated with the sodium salt of an appropriate glycollate ester, displacing chlorine, and in situ forming the furan ring by intramolecular aldol condensation. Cleavage of the ester and decarboxylation of the unwanted 7-acid functionality may be done in a single reaction with a good nucleophile in a dipolar aprotic solvent at high temperature, or in separate saponification and Cu/quinoline decarboxylation steps. Displacement of the 4-methylthio group by an appropriate amine gives the desired furano(2,3-d)pyrimidines.
[0203] Scheme 21—Route to Preferred Groups 43 [2,3-d] Ring Fusion
[0204] To make the pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine a pyrimidine ring is cyclized onto the cyano amino-pyrrole using known techniques as shown in scheme B above. Activation and displacement of the thiol by the side chain can be preceded or followed by the optional electrophilic substitution of the pyrrole ring.
[0205] 43. Another preferred form of the invention has X=NH, n=0 or 1, in which case R1=H, the aromatic ring phenyl optionally substituted, and either A and B taken together are a nitrogen atom, with D & E carbon, or A & B are carbon with D and E taken together as a nitrogen atom, with R4or R3H, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, amino, or lower mono or dialkylamino.
[0206] Scheme 22—Route to Preferred Groups 43 [3,2-d] Ring Fusion
[0207] The preparation of the pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine exploits the known condensation of orthoformate with the acidified 4-methyl group of 6-pyrimidones to form the pyrrolopyrimidine as shown above.

Biology
[0262] 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.
[0263] 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 IC50s, varying from 10 micromolar to 5 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 PLCgammal, a known EGFR phosphorylation substrate. This data is shown in Table 1.
Biological Data
[0264] Materials and Methods
[0265] Purification of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase—Human EGF receptor tyrosine kinase was isolated from A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells which overexpress EGF receptor by the following methods. Cells were grown in roller bottles in 50% Delbuco's Modified Eagle and 50% HAM F-12 nutrient media (Gibco) containing 10% fetal calf serum. Approximately 109cells were lysed in two volumes of buffer containing 20 mM 2-(4N-(2-hydroxyethyl]piperazin-1-yl)ethanesulfonic acid (hepes), pH 7.4, 5 mM ethylene glycol bis(2-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid, 1% Triton X-100, 10% glycerol, 0.1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 5 mM sodium fluoride, 4 mM pyrophosphate, 4 mM benzamide, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 80 μg/mL aprotinin, 40 μg/mL leupeptin and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. After centrifugation at 25,000×g for 10 minutes, the supernatant was equilibrated for 2 h at 4° C. with 10 mL of wheat germ agglutinin sepharose that was previously equilibrated with 50 mM Hepes, 10% glycerol, 0.1% Triton X-100 and 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5, (equilibration buffer). Contaminating proteins were washed from the resin with 1 M NaCl in equilibration buffer, and the enzyme was eluted with 0.5 M N-acetyl-1-D-glucosamine in equilibration buffer, followed by 1 mM urea. The enzyme was eluted with 0.1 mg/ml EGF. The receptor appeared to be homogeneous as assessed by Coomassie blue stained polyacrylamide electrophoretic gels.
[0266] Determination of IC50values—enzyme assays for IC50determinations were performed in a total volume of 0.1 mL, containing 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 2 mM MnCl2, 50 μM sodium vanadate, 5-10 ng of EGF receptor tyrosine kinase, 200 μM of a substrate peptide, (Ac-Lys-His-Lys-Lys-Leu-Ala-Glu-Gly-Ser-Ala-Tyr472-Glu-Glu-Val-NH2-derived from the amino acid (Tyr472has been shown to be one of four tyrosines in PLC (phospholipaseC)-gamma 1 that are phosphorylated by the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase [Wahl, M. I.; Nishibe, S.; Kim, J. W.; Kim, H.; Rhee, S. G.; Carpenter, G., J. Biol. Chem., (1990), 265, 3944-3948.], and peptides derived from the enzyme sequence surrounding this site are excellent substrates for the enzyme.), 10 μM ATP containing 1 μCi of [32P]ATP and incubated for ten minutes at room temperature. 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).

[0267] Cells
[0268] Swiss 3T3 mouse fibroblasts, A431 human epidermoid carcinma 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, Maryland 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 cm2roller bottle and the mediunm-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.
[0269] Antibodies
[0270] Monoclonal antibodies raised to the PDGF (platelet-desired growth factor) receptor or phosphotyrosine were from Upstate Biotechnology, Inc., Lake Placid, N.Y. Anti-pp39jun(antibody to the transcription factor c-jun, which is a 39 kDalton phosphoprotein) and anti-EGF receptor antibodies were from Oncogene Science, Uniondale, N.Y.
[0271] Immunoprecipitation and Western Blot
[0272] 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-ME-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 μg/ml of aprotinin, and 10 μg/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×g. The supernatant was transferred to a clean microfuge tube and 5 μg of antibody was added to designated samples. The tubes were rotated for 2 hours at 4° C. after which 25 μl 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 μl of Laemlli buffer (Laemmli, NATURE, Vol. 727, pp. 680-685, 1970), heated to 100° 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° C. for 5 minutes. The entire supernatant from the immunoprecipitation or 35 μl 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 μg/ml in blocking buffer) and then washed 2 times seauentially in TNA, TNA containing 0.05% Tween-20 and 0.050 Nonidet P-40 (commercially available detergent) and TNA. The membranes were then incubated for 2 hours in blocking buffer containing 0.1 μCi/ml of [125I] 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.
[0273] Northern Blots
[0274] Total cellular RNA was isolated from untreated control or treated Swiss 3T3 cells using RNAzol-B (trademark of Tel Test Inc. for a kit used to isolate RNA from tissues) and adhered to the protocol described by the manufacturer. Forty to fifty μg of RNA was loaded onto a 1% agarose gel and electrophoresis carried out for 3-4 hours at 65 volts. The RNA in the gel was transferred by capillary action to a nylon membrane (Hybond-N, Amersham). The 40 mer c-jun probe was end labeled with [32p]ATP using T4 nucleotide kinase (Promega) and purified on a G25 sephadex column according to the procedure recommended by the supplier, Oncogene Science. Hybridization was performed overnight at 65° C. (c-jun is an immediate early transcription factor; it is one of the components of AP-1 while FOS is the second component of AP-1.
[0275] Growth Factor-Mediated Mitogenesis
[0276] Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts were grown to 90-100 confluency in 24-well plates (1.7×1.6 cm, flat bottom) and growth arrested in serum-free media for 18 hours. Drug was added to specified wells 2 hours prior to growth factors and then the cells were exposed to either 20 ng/ml EGF, PDGF or bFGF or 10% serum for 24 hours. Two μCi of [methyl-3H]thymidine was added to each well and incubated for 2 hours at 37° C. The cells were trypsinized and injected into 2 ml of ice cold 15% trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The resulting precipitate was collected on glassfiber filters, washed five times with 2-ml aliquots of ice-cold 15% TCA, dried and placed in scintillation vials along with 10 ml Ready gel (Beckman, Irvine, Calif.). Radioactivity was determined in a Beckman LS 6800 scintillation counter.
[0277] Growth Inhibition Assay
[0278] Cells (2×104) were seeded in 24-well plates (1.7×1.6 cm, flat bottom) in two mls of medium with or without various concentrations of drug. Plates were incubated for 3 days at 37° in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2in air. Cell growth was determined by cell count with a Coulter Model AM electronic cell counter (Coulter Electronics, Inc., Hialeah, Fla.).

[0282] The above gels, developed as detailed in the experimental section, demonstrate the efficacy of compounds of the current invention at blocking certain EGF-stimulated mitogenic signalling events in whole cells. The numbers to the left of the gels indicated the positions of molecular weight standards in kiloDaltons. The lane labelled control shows the degree of expression of the growth-related signal in the absence of EGF stimulation, whereas the lane labelled EGF (or PDGF or b-FGF) shows the magnitude of the growth factor-stimulated signal. The other lanes show the effect of the stated quantities of the named drug on the growth factor-stimulated activity being measured, demonstrating that the compounds of the present invention have potent effects in whole cells, consistent with their ability to inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of the EGF receptor.
[0283] Gel of Example 40 (FIG. 7) detects mRNA for c-jun by hybridization with a specific radio labelled RNA probe for c-jun. The gel demonstrates that the growth factors EFG, PDGF and b-FGF stimulate c-jun production in Swiss 3T3 cells, and that compound 40 blocks this production for EGF-stimulated cells, but not for PDGF or b-FGF stimulated cells.
Effect of Example 40 on Growth Factor Mediated Expression of p39
[0284] This gel shows the amount of c-jun induced in Swiss 3T3 cells by the growth factor EGF, PDGF and b-FGF, quantitating with an anti-c-jun-specific monoclonal antibody. It demonstrates the ability of Example 40 to block c-jun expression in Swiss 3T3 when stimulated by EGF, but not when stimulated by PDGF or b-FGF.
[0285] It is to be appreciated that the compounds described herein can be used in combination with other components to enhance their activity. Such additional components are anti-neoplastic materials as, doxorubicin, taxol, cis platin, and the like.
[0286] It has been found that the compounds described herein may inhibit both the erb-B2 and erb-B4 receptors and therefore have significantly increased clinical activity advantageously in combination with the aforementioned anti-neoplastic agents.

[0427] The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can take any of a wide variety of oral and Darenteral dosage forms. The dosage forms comprise as the active components an inhibitor as defined previously.
[0428] 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 “oredaration” 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.
[0429] 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.
[0430] 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.
[0431] 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.
[0432] 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 hydroxypropylcellulosa. 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.
[0433] The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or is 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.
[0434] 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, dispersionsare 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.
[0435] 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.
[0436] 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.
[0437] 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.
[0438] 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.
[0439] 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.
[0440] 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.
[0441] 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)).
[0442] 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.
[0443] 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, forexample, Berge, S. M. et al, “Pharmaceutical Salts”, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 66, pp. 1-19 (1977)).
[0444] 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.
[0445] 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.
[0446] 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 edimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof.
[0447] 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.
