The present invention is directed to compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, their synthesis, and their use as modulators or inhibitors of HSP-90. The compounds of the present invention are useful for modulating (e.g. inhibiting) HSP-90 activity and for treating diseases or conditions mediated by HSP-90, such as for example, disease states associated with abnormal cell growth such as cancer.
Molecular chaperones play important roles in cellular function by ensuring proper folding of proteins upon synthesis as well as their refolding under conditions of denaturing stress. By regulating the balance between protein synthesis and degradation, molecular chaperones are a significant part of the cellular response to stress. In addition, by regulating the proper folding of various cellular proteins, chaperones play an important role in regulating cellular functions such as cell proliferation and apoptosis. (See, e.g. Jolly, et al., J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 92: 1564-1572 (2000)). Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a class of chaperones that accumulate in the cell in response to various environmental stresses, such as heat shock, oxidative stress, or the presence of alcohols or heavy metals. In addition to their role in protecting the cell from such environmental stresses, HSPs may also play a significant role as chaperones for a variety of cellular proteins under stress-free conditions. Members of the HSP family are classified according to their molecular weight (e.g. HSP-27, HSP-70, and HSP-90). Evidence of differential expression of HSPs in various stages of tumor progression suggests HSPs play a role in cancer. (See, e.g. Martin, et al., Cancer Res. 60:2232-2238 (2000)).
HSP-90 is a homodimer with ATPase activity and functions in a series of complex interactions with a variety of substrate proteins (Young, et al., J. Cell Biol. 154: 267-273 (2001)). HSP-90 is unique with regard to other chaperones, however, since most of its known substrate proteins are signal transduction proteins. Thus, HSP-90 plays an essential role in regulating cellular signal transduction networks. (See, e.g. Xu, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci 90:7074-7078 (1993)). In particular, substrate proteins of HSP-90 include many mutated or over-expressed proteins implicated in cancer such as p53, Bcr-Ab1 kinase, Raf-1 kinase, Akt kinase, Npm-Alk kinase p185ErbB2 transmembrane kinase, Cdk4, Cdk6, Wee1 (a cell cycle-dependent kinase), HER2/Neu (ErbB2), and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Thus inhibition of HSP-90 results in selective degradation of these important signaling proteins involved in apoptosis, cell proliferation, and cell cycle regulation (Holstein, et al., Cancer Res. 61:4003-4009 (2001)). Accordingly, HSP-90 is an attractive therapeutic target because of the important roles played by these signaling proteins in disease states involving abnormal cell growth, such as cancer. It is thus desirable to discover and develop new inhibitors of HSP-90 activity that can provide a therapeutic benefit to, patients suffering from disease states related to abnormal cell growth such as cancer.

As used herein, the symbol [- - - - - -] when incorporated into the chemical structure of a substituent means that the atom to which [- - - - - -] is attached is the point of attachment of that substitutent to some position on another molecule. For example, X in the hypothetical molecule CH3CH2—X might be defined as X is
In which case, the placement of [- - - - - -] attached to the arbitrarily numbered position C-1, means that C-1 of the phenyl ring is attached to the methylene carbon.
The symbols “” and “”, when used together in a single molecule without further indication otherwise, for example, chemical name or accompanying description, merely indicate relative stereochemistry of trans or cis where applicable. The symbol “” and the symbol “”, used together or separately, in combination with an indication of them representing the absolute stereochemistry, for example, an indication of “S” or “R” in the corresponding chemical structure or the accompanying chemical name, indicate the absolute stereochemistry of the corresponding chiral center.

A “diradical” refers to a group that has two open valences and is further connected to two other groups, or forms a double bond with the same atom of one group, or forms two single bonds with the same atom of one group. Examples of diradicals are, but are not limited to —CH2—, —O—, —O—CH2—, —(C1-C3 alkylene)-NH— and —CH2—CH2—. When a diradical is referred to as, for example, —O—CH2— or —(C1-C3 alkylene)-NH—, it is understood that each end of the diradical can equally connect to another moiety. For example, if K is defined as A-L-B, and L is a diradical selected from —O—CH2— and —(C1-C3 alkylene)-, it is understood that K is therefore selected from A-O—CH2—B, A-CH2—O—B, and A-(C1-C3 alkylene)-B. A and B herein are referred to as different organic moieties.
When “ene” is added after the “yl” at the end of any of the previously defined terms to form a new term, the new term refers to a diradical formed by removing one hydrogen atom from the original term of which the new term derived from. For example, an alkylene refers to a diradical group formed by removing one hydrogen atom from an alkyl group and that a “methylene” refers to a divalent radical —CH2— derived from removing one hydrogen atom from methyl. More examples of such diradicals include, but are not limited to: alkenylene, alkynylene, cycloalkylene, phenylene, heterocyclylene, heteroarylene and (nonaromatic unsaturated carbocyclylene), which are derived from alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl and (nonaromatic unsaturated carbocyclyl), respectively. For example, “cyclopropylene” refers to both
For example, “C1-C2 alkylene” refers to all of the following: —CH2—, —CH(CH3)— and —CH2—CH2—.
“oxo” or “-oxo-” refers to an oxygen double bond “═O” substitution.
“Hydroxy” or “hydroxyl” both refer to —OH.
“Perfluoroalkyl” refers to an alkyl group in which all of its hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine atoms.
“Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may but need not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “heterocyclyl group optionally substituted with an alkyl group” means that the alkyl may but need not be present, and the description includes situations where the heterocyclyl group is substituted with an alkyl group and situations where the heterocyclyl group is not substituted with the alkyl group.
When a group is “optionally substituted” or “optionally further substituted” by some substituents, it means a carbon or a nitrogen atom of this group wherein one or more hydrogen atoms are attached to the carbon or nitrogen atom, such carbon or nitrogen atom is optionally substituted by some other substituents. For example, “R is H, C1-C3 alkyl or phenyl, and R is optionally further substituted by 1-3 groups selected from —F, oxo and C1-C3 perfluoroalkyl”, means that R is 1) H (when R is H, R cannot be further substituted); 2) C1-C3 alkyl optionally further substituted by 1-3 groups selected from —F, oxo and C1-C3 perfluoroalkyl; and 3) phenyl optionally further substituted by 1-3 groups selected from —F and C1-C3 perfluoroalkyl. Optional substitution of oxo does not apply when R is phenyl because no single atom of the phenyl group possess two hydrogen atoms to be substituted by oxo, i.e. ═O bond. When a group is further substituted by a “—(C1-C4 alkylene)-”, it means the “—(C1-C4 alkylene)-”, together with the nitrogen atom or the carbon atom of the group to which “C1-C4 alkylene” is attached to, form a carbo or hetero spiro cycle.
A “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a mixture of one or more of the compounds described herein, or physiologically/pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates or prodrugs thereof, with other chemical components, such as physiologically/pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration of a compound to an organism.

“PK” refers to receptor protein tyrosine kinase (RTKs), non-receptor or “cellular” tyrosine kinase (CTKs) and serine-threonine kinases (STKs).
“Modulation” or “modulating” refers to the alteration of the catalytic activity of RTKs, CTKs and STKs. In particular, modulating refers to the activation of the catalytic activity of RTKs, CTKs and STKs, preferably the activation or inhibition of the catalytic activity of RTKs, CTKs and STKs, depending on the concentration of the compound or salt to which the RTK, CTK or STK is exposed or, more preferably, the inhibition of the catalytic activity of RTKs, CTKs and STKs.
“Catalytic activity” refers to the rate of phosphorylation of tyrosine under the influence, direct or indirect, of RTKs and/or CTKs or the phosphorylation of serine and threonine under the influence, direct or indirect, of STKs.
“Contacting” refers to bringing a compound of the present teachings and a target PK together in such a manner that the compound can affect the catalytic activity of the PK, either directly, i.e., by interacting with the kinase itself, or indirectly, i.e., by interacting with another molecule on which the catalytic activity of the kinase is dependent. Such “contacting” can be accomplished “in vitro,” i.e., in a test tube, a petri dish or the like. In a test tube, contacting may involve only a compound and a PK of interest or it may involve whole cells. Cells may also be maintained or grown in cell culture dishes and contacted with a compound in that environment. In this context, the ability of a particular compound to affect a PK related disorder, i.e., the IC50 of the compound, can be determined before use of compounds in vivo with more complex living organisms is attempted. For cells outside the organism, multiple methods exist, and are well-known to those skilled in the art, to get the PKs in contact with the compounds including, but not limited to, direct cell microinjection and numerous transmembrane carrier techniques.
“In vitro” refers to procedures performed in an artificial environment such as, e.g., without limitation, in a test tube or culture medium.
“In vivo” refers to procedures performed within a living organism such as, without limitation, a mouse, rat or rabbit.
“PK related disorder,” “PK driven disorder,” and “abnormal PK activity” all refer to a condition characterized by inappropriate, i.e., under or, more commonly, over, PK catalytic activity, where the particular PK can be an RTK, a CTK or an STK.
Inappropriate catalytic activity can arise as the result of either: (1) PK expression in cells which normally do not express PKs, (2) increased PK expression leading to unwanted cell proliferation, differentiation and/or growth, or, (3) decreased PK expression leading to unwanted reductions in cell proliferation, differentiation and/or growth. Over-activity of a PK refers to either amplification of the gene encoding a particular PK or production of a level of PK activity which can correlate with a cell proliferation, differentiation and/or growth disorder (that is, as the level of the PK increases, the severity of one or more of the symptoms of the cellular disorder increases). Under-activity is, of course, the converse, wherein the severity of one or more symptoms of a cellular disorder increase as the level of the PK activity decreases.
“Treat”, “treating” and “treatment” refer to a method of alleviating or abrogating a PK mediated cellular disorder and/or its attendant symptoms. With regard particularly to cancer, these terms simply mean that the life expectancy of an individual affected with a cancer will be increased or that one or more of the symptoms of the disease will be reduced.
“Organism” refers to any living entity comprised of at least one cell. A living organism can be as simple as, for example, a single eukariotic cell or as complex as a mammal, including a human being.
“Therapeutically effective amount” refers to that amount of the compound being administered which will relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disorder being treated. In reference to the treatment of cancer, a therapeutically effective amount refers to that amount which has at least one of the following effects:
(1) reducing the size of the tumor;
(2) inhibiting (that is, slowing to some extent, preferably stopping) tumor metastasis;
(3) inhibiting to some extent (that is, slowing to some extent, preferably stopping) tumor growth, and
(4) relieving to some extent (or, preferably, eliminating) one or more symptoms associated with the cancer.
“Monitoring” means observing or detecting the effect of contacting a compound with a cell expressing a particular PK. The observed or detected effect can be a change in cell phenotype, in the catalytic activity of a PK or a change in the interaction of a PK with a natural binding partner. Techniques for observing or detecting such effects are well-known in the art. The effect is selected from a change or an absence of change in a cell phenotype, a change or absence of change in the catalytic activity of said protein kinase or a change or absence of change in the interaction of said protein kinase with a natural binding partner in a final aspect of this invention.
“Cell phenotype” refers to the outward appearance of a cell or tissue or the biological function of the cell or tissue. Examples, without limitation, of a cell phenotype are cell size, cell growth, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell survival, apoptosis, and nutrient uptake and use. Such phenotypic characteristics are measurable by techniques well-known in the art.
“Natural binding partner” refers to a polypeptide that binds to a particular PK in a cell. Natural binding partners can play a role in propagating a signal in a PK-mediated signal transduction process. A change in the interaction of the natural binding partner with the PK can manifest itself as an increased or decreased concentration of the PK/natural binding partner complex and, as a result, in an observable change in the ability of the PK to mediate signal transduction.
The term “stereoisomers” refers to compounds that have identical chemical constitution, but differ with regard to the arrangement of their atoms or groups in space. In particular, the term “enantiomers” refers to two stereoisomers of a compound that are non-superimposable mirror images of one another. The terms “racemic” or “racemic mixture,” as used herein, refer to a 1:1 mixture of enantiomers of a particular compound. The term “diastereomers”, on the other hand, refers to the relationship between a pair of stereoisomers that comprise two or more asymmetric centers and are not mirror images of one another.
The compounds of the current invention, i.e., the compounds of formula I, as well as compounds of formula II, III and IV, can be made following reaction Scheme 1, 2 and 3.
Scheme 1 illustrates the synthesis of intermediate I(C) used to make compounds of formula I. The beta keto ester I(A) can be prepared based on a known procedures (see, e.g. Viscontini and Buhler Helvetica Chimica Acta, 50(5): 1289-93; (1967), Rosowsky et. al. J. Heterocyclic Chem., 26: 509-16 (1989)). PG1, the nitrogen protecting group, can be selected for compatibility with subsequent chemistry. Protecting groups and general considerations for their use are described in T. Greene and P. Wuts, “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis”, 3rd Edition 1999, John Wiley & Sons and are well known to those skilled in the art. Compound I(A) is condensed with guanidine to give compound I(B). This can typically be done by heating compound I(A) with guanidine or guanidine equivalent a protic solvent. A typical reaction condition would be to reflux compound I(A) with guanidine carbonate in tent-butanol as a solvent. Conversion of the hydroxyl group of compound I(B) to chloro gives I(C). This can typically be done by heating compound I(B) with POCl3 in an aprotic solvent. A typical reaction condition would be to reflux compound I(B) together with excess POCl3 either neat or in dry acetonitrile as solvent.
Scheme 2 illustrates the route through which compounds of formula I can be made from intermediate I(C). In Scheme 2, the chloro leaving group of compound I(C) is replaced by a R1—X— group to give compound II(A). This reaction can typically be carried out by displacement of the chloro leaving group using a variety of nucleophiles such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, or other nucleophiles. A typical nucleophilic displacement reaction for the transformation of compound I(C) to compound II(A) would be to treat compound I(C) with a nucleophile in the presence of base such as cesium carbonate using DMF or DMSO as solvent to give compound II(A). Alternatively, the displacement of the chloro leaving group of compound I(C) by R1—X— to give compound II(A) can also be carried out using cross coupling methodology utilizing Suzuki, Stille, Negishi or similar conditions. A typical cross coupling reaction for the transformation of compound I(C) to compound II(A) would be to treat compound I(C) with a boronic acid or ester in the presence of a base such as sodium carbonate and Pd(0) catalyst in a solvent mixture such as water and 1,4-dioxane to give compound II(A). The nitrogen protecting group, PG1, of compound II(A) is then removed to give compound II(B). This can typically be done, when PG1 forms an ethyl carbamate protecting group, by refluxing compound II(A) with trimethylsilyliodide in a solvent such as CH3CN. Alternatively HBr in acetic acid or KOH in isopropanol can also be used. A typical condition for the transformation of compound II(A) to compound II(B) would be to treat compound II(A) with TMSI (5 equivalents) in refluxing CH3CN to give compound II(B). The dihydropyrrolo amino moiety of compound II(B) then acts as a nucleophile in reactions with an electrophilic R2 moiety to give compound I. This nucleophilic reaction can be alkylation, acylation, sulfonylation, and other reactions applicable to secondary alkyl amines. An alkylation reaction of compound II(B) can be carried out by reacting compound II(B) with an alkylating R2 moiety. A typical alkylation reaction condition is to react compound II(B) with an R2 alkyl bromide moiety in the presence of TEA at room temperature to give compound I as an N-alkyl. An acylation reaction of compound II(B) can be carried out by reacting compound II(B) with an acylating R2 moiety. A typical acylation reaction condition is to react compound II(B) with an R2 activated ester moiety or R2 acyl halide in the presence of TEA to give compound I as an amide. Another typical acylation reaction condition is to react compound II(B) with an R2 isocyanate or isocyanate equivalent moiety in the presence of TEA to give compound I as a urea. A sulfonylation reaction of compound II(B) can be carried out by reacting compound II(B) with an sulfonylating R2 moiety. A typical sulfonylation reaction condition is to react compound II(B) with an R2 sulfonyl chloride moiety in the presence of TEA to give compound I as a sulfonamide.
Another method for the preparation of compound I as a urea takes compound II(A), when PG1 forms an ethyl carbamate protecting group, and directly converts compound II(A) into compound I. This reaction can typically be carried out using a nucleophilic amine in the presence of trimethylaluminum in a solvent such as toluene. A typical condition is to treat a nucleophilic amine in toluene at 0° C. with a solution of trimethylaluminum in hexanes. After warming to room temperature, compound II(A) is added and the mixture is heated under microwave radiation to prepare compound I.
Scheme 3 illustrates another route through which compounds of formula I can be made from intermediate I(C). In Scheme 3 when PG1 forms an ethyl carbamate protecting group, the protecting group, PG1, of compound I(C) is removed with concurrent conversion of chloro to iodo in one step. This can typically be carried out by heating compound I(C) with TMSI in an aprotic solvent. A typical reaction condition is to reflux compound I(C) in CH3CN with five equivalents of TMSI. Following a methanol quench, compound III(A) is obtained as an HI salt. The dihydropyrrolo amino moiety of compound III(A) then acts as a nucleophile in reactions with an electrophilic R2 moiety to give compound III(B). This nucleophilic reaction can be alkylation, acylation, sulfonylation, and other reactions applicable to secondary alkyl amines. An alkylation reaction of compound III(A) can be carried out by reacting compound III(A) with an alkylating R2 moiety. A typical alkylation reaction condition is to react compound III(A) with an R2 alkyl bromide moiety in the presence of TEA at room temperature to give compound III(B) as an N-alkyl. An acylation reaction of compound III(A) can be carried out by reacting compound III(A) with an acylating R2 moiety. A typical acylation reaction condition is to react compound III(A) with an R2 activated ester moiety or R2 acyl halide in the presence of TEA to give compound III(B) as an amide. Another typical acylation reaction condition is to react compound III(A) with an R2 isocyanate or isocyanate equivalent moiety in the presence of TEA to give compound III(B) as a urea. A sulfonylation reaction of compound III(A) can be carried out by reacting compound III(A) with an sulfonylating R2 moiety. A typical sulfonylation reaction condition is to react III(A) with an R2 sulfonyl chloride moiety in the presence of TEA at 0° C. to give compound III(B) as a sulfonamide. The iodo group of compound III(B) is then displaced by R1—X— using cross coupling methodology to give compound I. This reaction can typically be carried out using Suzuki, Stille, Negishi or similar conditions. A typical cross coupling reaction for the transformation of compound III(B) to compound I would be to treat compound III(B) with a boronic acid or ester in the presence of a base such as sodium carbonate and Pd(0) catalyst in a solvent mixture such as water and 1,4-dioxane to give compound I.

Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Alternatively, the racemate (or a racemic precursor) may be reacted with a suitable optically active compound, for example, an alcohol, or, in the case where the compound contains an acidic or basic moiety, an acid or base such as tartaric acid or 1-phenylethylamine. The resulting diastereomeric mixture may be separated by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization and one or both of the diastereoisomers converted to the corresponding pure enantiomer(s) by means well known to one skilled in the art. Chiral compounds of the invention (and chiral precursors thereof) may be obtained in enantiomerically-enriched form using chromatography, typically HPLC, on an asymmetric resin with a mobile phase consisting of a hydrocarbon, typically heptane or hexane, containing from 0 to 50% isopropanol, typically from 2 to 20%, and from 0 to 5% of an alkylamine, typically 0.1% diethylamine. Concentration of the eluate affords the enriched mixture. Stereoisomeric conglomerates may be separated by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art. See, e.g. “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds” by E. L. Eliel (Wiley, New York, 1994), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Where a compound of the invention contains an alkenyl or alkenylene group, geometric cis/trans (or Z/E) isomers are possible. Cis/trans isomers may be separated by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallization. Where structural isomers are interconvertible via a low energy barrier, tautomeric isomerism (‘tautomerism’) can occur. This can take the form of proton tautomerism in compounds of the present invention containing, for example, an imino, keto, or oxime group, or so-called valence tautomerism in compounds which contain an aromatic moiety. It follows that a single compound may exhibit more than one type of isomerism. Included within the scope of the invention are all stereoisomers, geometric isomers and tautomeric forms of the inventive compounds, including compounds exhibiting more than one type of isomerism, and mixtures of one or more thereof.
Salts of the present invention can be prepared according to methods known to those of skill in the art. Examples of salts include, but are not limited to, acetate, acrylate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate (such as chlorobenzoate, methylbenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, hydroxybenzoate, and methoxybenzoate), bicarbonate, bisulfate, bisulfite, bitartrate, borate, bromide, butyne-1,4-dioate, calcium edetate, camsylate, carbonate, chloride, caproate, caprylate, clavulanate, citrate, decanoate, dihydrochloride, dihydrogenphosphate, edetate, edislyate, estolate, esylate, ethylsuccinate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glutamate, glycollate, glycollylarsanilate, heptanoate, hexyne-1,6-dioate, hexylresorcinate, hydrabamine, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, γ-hydroxybutyrate, iodide, isobutyrate, isothionate, lactate, lactobionate, laurate, malate, maleate, malonate, mandelate, mesylate, metaphosphate, methane-sulfonate, methylsulfate, monohydrogenphosphate, mucate, napsylate, naphthalene-1-sulfonate, naphthalene-2-sulfonate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, pamoate (embonate), palmitate, pantothenate, phenylacetates, phenylbutyrate, phenylpropionate, phthalate, phosphate/diphosphate, polygalacturonate, propanesulfonate, propionate, propiolate, pyrophosphate, pyrosulfate, salicylate, stearate, subacetate, suberate, succinate, sulfate, sulfonate, sulfite, tannate, tartrate, teoclate, tosylate, triethiodode, and valerate salts.
The compounds of the present invention that are basic in nature are capable of forming a wide variety of salts with various inorganic and organic acids. Although such salts must be pharmaceutically acceptable for administration to animals, it is often desirable in practice to initially isolate the compound of the present invention from the reaction mixture as a pharmaceutically unacceptable salt and then simply convert the latter back to the free base compound by treatment with an alkaline reagent and subsequently convert the latter free base to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt. The acid addition salts of the base compounds of this invention can be prepared by treating the base compound with a substantially equivalent amount of the selected mineral or organic acid in an aqueous solvent medium or in a suitable organic solvent, such as methanol or ethanol. Upon evaporation of the solvent, the desired solid salt is obtained. The desired acid salt can also be precipitated from a solution of the free base in an organic solvent by adding an appropriate mineral or organic acid to the solution.
Those compounds of the present invention that are acidic in nature are capable of forming base salts with various pharmacologically acceptable cations. Examples of such salts include the alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal salts and particularly, the sodium and potassium salts. These salts are all prepared by conventional techniques. The chemical bases which are used as reagents to prepare the pharmaceutically acceptable base salts of this invention are those which form non-toxic base salts with the acidic compounds of the present invention. Such non-toxic base salts include those derived from such pharmacologically acceptable cations as sodium, potassium calcium and magnesium, etc. These salts may be prepared by any suitable method, for example, treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base, such as an amine (primary, secondary or tertiary), an alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, or the like. Illustrative examples of suitable salts include organic salts derived from amino acids, such as glycine and arginine, ammonia, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, and cyclic amines, such as piperidine, morpholine and piperazine, and inorganic salts derived from sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, aluminum and lithium. These salts can also be prepared by treating the corresponding acidic compounds with an aqueous solution containing the desired pharmacologically acceptable cations, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness; preferably under reduced pressure. Alternatively, they may also be prepared by mixing lower alkanolic solutions of the acidic compounds and the desired alkali metal alkoxide together, and then evaporating the resulting solution to dryness in the same manner as before. In either case, stoichiometric quantities of reagents are preferably employed in order to ensure completeness of reaction and maximum yields of the desired final product.
If the inventive compound is a base, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, such as citric acid or tartaric acid, an amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid or ethanesulfonic acid, or the like.
In the case of compounds that are solids, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the inventive compounds and salts may exist in different crystalline or polymorphic forms, or in an amorphous form, all of which are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
The invention also includes isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention, wherein one or more atoms is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, such as 2H and 3H, carbon, such as 11C, 13C and 14C, chlorine, such as 36Cl, fluorine, such as 18F, iodine, such as 123I and 125I, nitrogen, such as 13N and 15N, oxygen, such as 15O, 17O and 18O, phosphorus, such as 32P, and sulfur, such as 35S. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention, for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, 3H, and carbon-14, 14C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, 2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as 11C, 18F, 15O and 13N, can be useful in Positron Emission. Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy.
Isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed.
The compounds of the invention may exist in both unsolvated and solvated forms. The term ‘solvate’ is used herein to describe a molecular complex comprising a compound of the invention and an amount of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvent molecules. The term ‘hydrate’ is employed when said solvent is water. Examples of solvate forms include, but are not limited to, compounds of the invention in association with water, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), ethyl acetate, acetic acid, ethanolamine, or mixtures thereof. It is specifically contemplated that in the present invention one solvent molecule can be associated with one molecule of the compounds of the present invention, such as a hydrate.
Furthermore, it is specifically contemplated that in the present invention, more than one solvent molecule may be associated with one molecule of the compounds of the present invention, such as a dihydrate. Additionally, it is specifically contemplated that in the present invention less than one solvent molecule may be associated with one molecule of the compounds of the present invention, such as a hemihydrate. Furthermore, solvates of the present invention are contemplated as solvates of compounds of the present invention that retain the biological effectiveness of the non-hydrate form of the compounds.
Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are also within the scope of the invention. Thus certain derivatives of the compounds of the present invention, which derivatives may have little or no pharmacological activity themselves, when administered into or onto the body may be converted into compounds of the present invention having the desired activity, for example, by hydrolytic cleavage. Such derivatives are referred to as ‘prodrugs’. Further information on the use of prodrugs may be found in Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14, ACS Symposium Series (T. Higuchi and W. Stella) and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, Pergamon Press, 1987 (ed. E. B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association).
Prodrugs in accordance with the invention can, for example, be produced by replacing appropriate functionalities present in the compounds of the present invention with certain moieties known to those skilled in the art as ‘pro-moieties’ as described, for example, in Design of Prodrugs by H. Bundgaard (Elsevier, 1985).
Some examples of prodrugs in accordance with the invention include:
(i) where the compounds of the present invention contain a carboxylic acid functionality (—COOH), a prodrug compound wherein the hydrogen of the carboxylic acid functionality of the compound is replaced by (C1-C8)alkyl to form the corresponding ester;
(ii) where the compounds of the present invention contain an alcohol functionality (—OH), a prodrug compound wherein the hydrogen of the alcohol functionality of the compound is replaced by (C1-C6) alkanoyloxymethyl to form the corresponding ether; and
(iii) where the compounds of the present invention contain a primary or secondary amino functionality (—NH2 or —NHR where R≠H), a prodrug compound wherein, as the case may be, one or both hydrogens of the amino functionality of the compound I is/are replaced by (C1-C10) alkanoyl to form the corresponding amide.
Further examples of replacement groups in accordance with the foregoing examples and examples of other prodrug types may be found in the aforementioned references. Moreover, certain compounds of the present invention may themselves act as prodrugs of other compounds of the present invention.
Also included within the scope of the invention are metabolites of compounds of the present invention, that is, compounds formed in vivo upon administration of the drug.
Some examples of metabolites in accordance with the invention include:

They may be obtained, for example, as solid plugs, powders, or films by methods such as precipitation, crystallization, freeze drying, spray drying, or evaporative drying. Microwave or radio frequency drying may be used for this purpose.
The compounds can be administered alone or in combination with one or more other compounds of the invention, or in combination with one or more other drugs (or as any combination thereof). Generally, they will be administered as a formulation in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The term “excipient” is used herein to describe any ingredient other than the compound(s) of the invention. The choice of excipient will to a large extent depend on factors such as the particular mode of administration, the effect of the excipient on solubility and stability, and the nature of the dosage form.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the delivery of compounds of the invention and methods for their preparation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Such compositions and methods for their preparation can be found, for example, in. ‘Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences’, 19th Edition (Mack Publishing Company, 1995), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The final formulation may include one or more layers and may be coated or uncoated; or encapsulated.
The formulation of tablets is discussed in detail in “Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets, Vol. 1”, by H. Lieberman and L. Lachman, Marcel Dekker, N.Y., N.Y., 1980 (ISBN 0-8247-6918-X), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Solid formulations for oral administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted and programmed release.
Suitable modified release formulations are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,106,864. Details of other suitable release technologies such as high energy dispersions and osmotic and coated particles can be found in Verma et al., Pharmaceutical Technology On-line, 25(2), 1-14 (2001). The use of chewing gum to achieve controlled release is described in WO 00/35298. The disclosures of these references are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The compounds of the invention may also be administered directly into the blood stream, into muscle, or into an internal organ. Suitable means for parenteral administration include intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intraventricular, intraurethral, intrasternal, intracranial, intramuscular and subcutaneous. Suitable devices for parenteral administration include needle (including microneedle) injectors, needle-free injectors and infusion techniques.
Parenteral formulations are typically aqueous solutions which may contain excipients such as salts, carbohydrates and buffering agents (preferably to a pH of from 3 to 9), but, for some applications, they may be more suitably formulated as a sterile non-aqueous solution or as a dried form to be used in conjunction with a suitable vehicle such as sterile, pyrogen-free water.
The preparation of parenteral formulations under sterile conditions, for example, by lyophilization, may readily be accomplished using standard pharmaceutical techniques well known to those skilled in the art.
The solubility of compounds of the invention used in the preparation of parenteral solutions may be increased by the use of appropriate formulation techniques, such as the incorporation of solubility-enhancing agents.
Formulations for parenteral administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted and programmed release. Thus compounds of the invention may be formulated as a solid, semi-solid, or thixotropic liquid for administration as an implanted depot providing modified release of the active compound. Examples of such formulations include drug-coated stents and PGLA microspheres.
The compounds of the invention may also be administered topically to the skin or mucosa, that is, dermally or transdermally.

Liposomes may also be used. Typical carriers include alcohol, water, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, glycerin, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol. Penetration enhancers may be incorporated; see, for example, J Pharm Sci, 88 (10), 955-958 by Finnin and Morgan (October 1999). Other means of topical administration include delivery by electroporation, iontophoresis, phonophoresis, sonophoresis and microneedle or needle-free (e.g. Powderject™, Bioject™, etc.) injection. The disclosures of these references are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
Formulations for topical administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted and programmed release.
The compounds of the invention can also be administered intranasally or by inhalation, typically in the form of a dry powder (either alone, as a mixture, for example, in a dry blend with lactose, or as a mixed component particle, for example, mixed with phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine) from a dry powder inhaler or as an aerosol spray from a pressurized container, pump, spray, atomizer (preferably an atomizer using electrohydrodynamics to produce a fine mist), or nebulizer, with or without the use of a suitable propellant, such as 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane or 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane. For intranasal use, the powder may include a bioadhesive agent, for example, chitosan or cyclodextrin.
The pressurized container, pump, spray, atomizer, or nebulizer contains a solution or suspension of the compound(s) of the invention comprising, for example, ethanol, aqueous ethanol, or a suitable alternative agent for dispersing, solubilizing, or extending release of the active, a propellant(s) as solvent and an optional surfactant, such as sorbitan trioleate, oleic acid, or an oligolactic acid.
Prior to use in a dry powder or suspension formulation, the drug product is micronized to a size suitable for delivery by inhalation (typically less than 5 microns). This may be achieved by any appropriate comminuting method, such as spiral jet milling, fluid bed jet milling, supercritical fluid processing to form nanoparticles, high pressure homogenisation, or spray drying.
Capsules (made, for example, from gelatin or HPMC), blisters and cartridges for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated to contain a powder mix of the compound of the invention, a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch and a performance modifier such as l-leucine, mannitol, or magnesium stearate. The lactose may be anhydrous or in the form of the monohydrate, preferably the latter. Other suitable excipients include dextran, glucose, maltose, sorbitol, xylitol, fructose, sucrose and trehalose.
A suitable solution formulation for use in an atomizer using electrohydrodynamics to produce a fine mist may contain from tug to 20 mg of the compound of the invention per actuation and the actuation volume may vary from 1 μL to 100 μL. A typical formulation includes a compound of the invention, propylene glycol, sterile water, ethanol and sodium chloride. Alternative solvents which may be used instead of propylene glycol include glycerol and polyethylene glycol.
Suitable flavors, such as menthol and levomenthol, or sweeteners, such as saccharin or saccharin sodium, may be added to those formulations of the invention intended for inhaled/intranasal administration.
Formulations for inhaled/intranasal administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release using, for example, poly(DL-lactic-coglycolic acid (PGLA). Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted and programmed release.
In the case of dry powder inhalers and aerosols, the dosage unit is determined by means of a valve which delivers a metered amount. Units in accordance with the invention are typically arranged to administer a metered dose or “puff” containing a desired mount of the compound of the invention. The overall daily dose may be administered in a single dose or, more usually, as divided doses throughout the day.
Compounds of the invention may be administered rectally or vaginally, for example, in the form of a suppository, pessary, or enema. Cocoa butter is a traditional suppository base, but various alternatives may be used as appropriate.
Formulations for rectal/vaginal administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted and programmed release.
Compounds of the invention may also be administered directly to the eye or ear, typically in the form of drops of a micronized suspension or solution in isotonic, pH-adjusted, sterile saline. Other formulations suitable for ocular and aural administration include ointments, biodegradable (e.g. absorbable gel sponges, collagen) and non-biodegradable (e.g. silicone) implants, wafers, lenses and particulate or vesicular systems, such as niosomes or liposomes. A polymer such as crossed-linked polyacrylic acid, polyvinylalcohol, hyaluronic acid, a cellulosic polymer, for example, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, or methyl cellulose, or a heteropolysaccharide polymer, for example, gelan gum, may be incorporated together with a preservative, such as benzalkonium chloride. Such formulations may also be delivered by iontophoresis.
Formulations for ocular/aural administration may be formulated to be immediate and/or modified release. Modified release formulations include delayed-, sustained-, pulsed-, controlled-, targeted, or programmed release.
Compounds of the invention may be combined with soluble macromolecular entities, such as cyclodextrin and suitable derivatives thereof or polyethylene glycol-containing polymers, in order to improve their solubility, dissolution rate, taste-masking, bioavailability and/or stability for use in any of the aforementioned modes of administration.
Drug-cyclodextrin complexes, for example, are found to be generally useful for most dosage forms and administration routes. Both inclusion and non-inclusion complexes may be used. As an alternative to direct complexation with the drug, the cyclodextrin may be used as an auxiliary additive, i.e. as a carrier, diluent, or solubilizer. Most commonly used for these purposes are alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins, examples of which may be found in PCT Publication Nos. WO 91/11172, WO 94/02518 and WO 98/55148, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The amount of the active compound administered will be dependent on the subject being treated, the severity of the disorder or condition, the rate of administration, the disposition of the compound and the discretion of the prescribing physician. However, an effective dosage is typically in the range of about 0.001 to about 100 mg per kg body weight per day, preferably about 0.01 to about 35 mg/kg/day, in single or divided doses. For a 70 kg human, this would amount to about 0.07 to about 7000 mg/day, preferably about 0.7 to about 2500 mg/day. In some instances, dosage levels below the lower limit of the aforesaid range may be more than adequate, while in other cases still larger doses may be used without causing any harmful side effect, with such larger doses typically divided into several smaller doses for administration throughout the day.
This invention also relates to a method for the treatment of abnormal cell growth in a mammal which comprises administering to said mammal an amount of a compound of the present invention, or a salt or solvate thereof, that is effective in treating abnormal cell growth in combination with an anti-tumor agent selected from the group consisting of mitotic inhibitors, alkylating agents, anti-metabolites, intercalating antibiotics, growth factor inhibitors, cell cycle inhibitors, enzymes, topoisomerase inhibitors, biological response modifiers, antibodies, cytotoxics, anti-hormones, and anti-androgens.

Intermediate (f) was prepared in three steps using known procedures (see, e.g. Viscontini and Buhler Helvetica Chimica Acta, 50(5): 1289-93; (1967)) and then converted to compound (I) in two additional steps.
Ethyl acrylate (a) (50 mL, 460 mmol, 1.1 eq), glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride (b) (58.4 g, 418 mmol, 1 eq), and triethylamine (58.3 mL, 418 mmol, 1 eq) in absolute EtOH (960 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature for approximately 72 h. After reaction was complete, volatile components were removed under vacuum and the crude intermediate (c) was carried on directly.
Crude intermediate (c) (418 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (275 mL) and triethylamine (58.3 mL, 418 mmol) was added followed by ethyl chloroformate (d) (39.8 mL, 418 mmol). The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for about 24 h. After the reaction was complete, the volatile components were removed under vacuum. The crude product was then distilled under vacuum (about 5 mmHg) and dissolved in EtOAc which was washed with aqueous saturated KHSO4 ×3, with brine ×1 and dried over Na2SO4. Following filtration, the volatile components were removed under vacuum to afford intermediate (e) as a clear oil (74.8 g, 272 mmol) in 65% yield over two steps.
Intermediate (e) (18.0 g, 65.2 mmol) was added to an ice bath cooled solution of NaOEt (32.6 mL) (21% by weight in EtOH) in absolute EtOH (41.7 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The ice bath was removed and the mixture was heated at 80° C. for about 12 h until the condensation was complete as observed by TLC. The mixture was poured onto ice/water and extracted into EtOAc. The solvent was dried with Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated to afford crude intermediate (f) as an off white solid (14.05 g) which was carried on without purification.
A suspension of intermediate (f) (14.05 g) and guanidine carbonate (g) (16.6 g, 91.9 mmol) was refluxed in t-butanol (147 mL) for about 6 h. The mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature for about 2 h. The volatile components were removed under vacuum and water was added. The pH was adjusted to about 6-7 using KHSO4. The resulting slurry was filtered to collect the solids which were washed with water followed by EtOAc. The solids were dried under vacuum to afford intermediate (h) as cream solids (11.9 g, 53.1 mmol) in 87% yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-D6) δppm 11.01 (s, 1H), 6.97 (s, 0.5H, possible tautomer), 6.70 (s, 2H), 4.25 (s, 4H), 4.13-4.03 (m, 2H), 1.22 (t, 3H).

Intermediate (h) (11 g, 49 mmol) was azeotroped ×2 with toluene on the rotovap to assure dryness. Anhydrous acetonitrile (250 mL) and POCl3 (25 mL, 270 mmol) were added and the mixture was refluxed for about 2.5 h. Additional POCl3 (50 mL) was added and the mixture was refluxed for an additional 2 h. The volatile components were concentrated under vacuum at 40° C. to give a red solution. A minimum amount of dry acetonitrile was added until the solution was readily transferable whereupon it was poured onto ice in a large beaker. The flask was further rinsed with a small amount of acetonitrile which was added to the ice. Water (about 50 mL) was added to the ice mixture to help it with stirring. Concentrated NH4OH (25 mL) was added slowly with stirring until the ice slurry mixture was strongly basic, then 50% aqueous NaOH (25 mL) was also added to the still stirring slurry of ice. Additional ice was added. After about 5 minutes stirring as ice slurry, EtOAc was added. After stirring in the beaker for several more minutes, water was added to help melt the ice. The mixture was poured into a separatory funnel and the layers were allowed to partition. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc ×3. The combined EtOAc extracts were washed ×2 with saturated aqueous KHSO4, ×2 with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, ×1 with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to afford a pale pink powder which was triturated with ethyl acetate to give compound (i) as pale pink solids (6.8 g, 28 mmol) in 57% yield.

Compounds of the present invention were evaluated for potency against HSP-90 using a SPA (scintillation proximity assay) competition binding assay. Briefly, either full length or N-terminal HSP-90 that contains a 6-His tag on its C-terminus binds to copper on Yttrium-silicate scintillant beads via the His-tag. Tritiated propyl-Geldanamycin (pGA), whose structure is shown below, is an analog of a natural inhibitor of HSP-90 called Geldanamycin. Tritiated pGA, which contains a tritiated propyl-amine group added at the #17 position, binds HSP-90 and brings the isotope into proximity with the beads. 17-n-propylamino-Geldanamycin can be prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,261,989, which is incorporated herein by reference. A second tritiated compound that can also be used in this assay is shown below and is designated as Compound A.
The “T” in the structure of Compound A above indicates the position of the labeled tritiated hydrogen atoms. This compound has a Kd of 40 nM and can be prepared as follows. Compound A can be prepare from the parent compound of Compound A, (N-allyl-2-(5-chloro-2,4-dihydroxybenzoyl)isoindoline-1-carboxamide) as described in the following. Allylamine (2.5 mL, 5 mmol, 2M in THF) was added to a solution of Boc(R,S)-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindole carboxylic acid (263 mg, 1 mmole), diisopropylethyl amine (0.9 mL, 5 mmol), and O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium phosphorus pentafloride (HATU) (420 mg, 1.1 mmol) in 5 mL of DMF under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 12 hours. Saturated NaHCO3 (30 mL) was added to the reaction mixture to quench the reaction. EtOAc (2×50 mL) was then added to extract the aqueous solution. Dry EtOAc layer over Na2SO4. The Na2SO4 was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated to give a brown oil residue. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (gradient elution 40→50% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the desired intermediate product (321 mg, quantitative yield) tert-butyl 1-[(allylamino)carbonyl]-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindole-2-carboxylate.
Hydrogen chloride (3 mL, 12 mmol; 4 M in dioxane) was added to a solution of tert-butyl 1-[(allylamino)carbonyl]-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindole-2-carboxylate (1 mmol) in DCM (5 mL) at room temperature. The reaction was heated and stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated to give an oil residue. The residue (N-allylisoindoline-1-carboxamide) was used for the next step reaction without further purification.
N-allylisoindoline-1-carboxamide (1 mmol) was then added to a solution of 5-chloro-2,4-bis(methoxymethoxy)benzoic acid (which can be prepared as shown in WO 2006/117669) (340 mg, 1.2 mmol), 4-methylmorpholine (2.2 mL, 20 mmol), N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (460 mg, 2.4 mmol), and 1-hydroxy benzotriazole (330 mg, 2.4 mmol) in 12 mL of DMF under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature for 12 hours. H2O (50 mL) was added to the reaction mixture to quench the reaction. EtOAc (2×100 mL) was then added to extract the aqueous solution. Dry EtOAc layer over Na2SO4. The Na2SO4 was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated to give a brown oil residue. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (gradient elution 50→60% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the desired intermediate product (423 mg, 91.8% yield) N-allyl-2-[5-chloro-2,4-bis(methoxymethoxy)benzoyl]isoindoline-1-carboxamide.
Hydrogen chloride (4 mL, 16 mmol; 4 M in dioxane) was added to a solution of N-allyl-2-[5-chloro-2,4-bis(methoxymethoxy)benzoyl]isoindoline-1-carboxamide (392 mg, 0.85 mmol) in DCM (5 mL). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was neutralized with saturated NaHCO3 (aq) and then extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried, filtered, and evaporated to give the desired final product as the parent compound (N-allyl-2-(5-chloro-2,4-dihydroxybenzoyl)isoindoline-1-carboxamide) as a white solid (221 mg, 69.7% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-D6) δ ppm 3.57 (d, J=79.33 Hz, 2H) 4.65-4.93 (m, 1H) 4.97-5.19 (m, 1H) 5.42-5.70 (m, 1H) 5.68-5.95 (m, 1H) 6.40-6.71 (m, 1H) 6.92 (s, 1H) 7.15-7.67 (m, 4H) 8.28 (s, 1H) 10.06 (s, 1H) 10.40 (s, 1H). Anal. Calcd for C19H17ClN2O4: C, 61.21; H, 4.60; N, 7.51. Found: C, 61.02; H, 4.63; N, 7.36.
Once the parent compound was made, Compound A was prepared using standard hydrogenation methods using tritium gas.
The beta signal emitted from the isotope excites the scintillant, which creates a measurable signal. As competitive compounds are added to the assay mixture, they compete with bound tritiated pGA or Compound A at the ATP-binding site on the N-terminal of HSP-90. When a compound displaces the labeled pGA or Compound A, the signal is reduced (the beta-particles are no longer in proximity with the bead). This reduction in signal is used to quantify the extent to which the inhibitor/compound is competitive with pGA or Compound A.
The SPA assay for 3H-pGA (designated G1) and Compound A (designated G2) binding to HSP-90 was performed in 96-well flat bottom white plates (Corning #3604). For G1, typical reaction solutions contained 30 nM HSP-90 and 200 nM 3H-pGA in binding buffer (100 mM Hepes, pH 7.5 and 150 mM KCl). For G2, typical reaction solutions contained 5 nM HSP-90 and 50 nM of Compound A. For G1, the 3H-pGA was first diluted to 33% label with unlabeled pGA that was synthesized and purified to give a final concentration of 200 nM. For G2, labeled Compound A was diluted with unlabeled Compound A to provide a ratio of labeled:unlabeled of 1:2 for a final concentration of 50 nM. Inhibitors were added to the HSP-90/3H-pGA (or HSP-90/Compound A) solutions at eleven different concentrations for Ki determinations. The range of inhibitor concentrations were 100 μM, or an appropriate range, for solid samples and 10 μM for targeted library compounds and 4 mM liquid stocks. To determine percent inhibition, the compound was tested at 1 and 10 μM. The final DMSO in the samples was 4%. Copper-Ysi beads (Amersham, #RPNQ0096) that have been diluted in binding buffer were added to each well to give a final concentration of 100 μg/well. The plates were sealed, covered with a foil-covered lid and shaken for 30 minutes at room temperature. The beads were allowed to settle for 30 minutes after which the plates were counted using a Packard TopCount NXT instrument. This procedure has also been adapted for medium throughput using a Beckman Biomek FX. Samples were run in duplicate and on two separate days to assure an accurate value of Ki.
For Ki determinations, the corrected cpm's (actual cpm's minus background) were plotted vs. inhibitor concentration using GraphPad. Prism software. The data were fit to a generic IC50 equation, Y=YI/(1+[X]/IC50), where YI=Y-intercept and [X] is the competing ligand/inhibitor. The IC50 was then used to calculate the Ki by using the Cheng-Prusoff equation:
Where cl=cold ligand concentration (varies), [hl]=concentration of hot ligand (200 nM or 50 nM) and Kd{hl}=240 nM (for 3H-pGA) or 40 nM (for Compound A). Error was calculated as follows: IC50 error/IC50 value=fractional error and fractional error*Ki value=Ki error.
In the cases in which inhibitor binds to HSP-90 so tightly that the population of free inhibitor molecules is significantly depleted by formation of the enzyme-inhibitor complex, the above equation is no longer valid. This is normally true when the observed IC50 is about the same as the HSP-90 concentration. For a tight binding inhibitor, the following equation can be applied:
EL and ELo are the radioligand-HSP-90 complexes in the presence and absence of inhibitor, respectively. EL/ELo represents the fractional signal in the presence of inhibitor. Io, Eo, and Lo are the inhibitor, HSP-90, and radioligand concentrations, respectively. KI is the inhibition constant for the ligand, while KL is the binding affinity constant between the enzyme (HSP-90) and the ligand.
The Ki assay data of the compound of Examples 1-292 are listed in the following Table 3.
