The present invention relates to new 2-amino-quinazolin-5-one compounds, their stereoisomers, tautomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and prodrugs thereof; to compositions containing 2-amino-quinazolin-5-one compounds and a pharmaceutical acceptable carrier; and to the uses of the compounds and compositions, either alone or in combination with at least one additional therapeutic agent, in the prophylaxis or treatment of cell proliferative diseases.
Heat shock or stress dramatically increases cellular production of several classes of highly conserved chaperone proteins, commonly known as heat-shock proteins (HSPs). These chaperones, including the members of the HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 families, are ATP-dependent molecules that facilitate/ensure proper client protein (e.g. protein that requires interaction with the chaperones for its activity and stability) folding, prevent non-specific aggregations, and maintain active protein conformations.
The HSP90 family, comprised of HSP90 α and β, Grp94 and TRAP-1, is one of the most abundant cellular proteins, accounting for 1-2% of total proteins in a mammalian cell under normal conditions. HSP90 is unique among cellular chaperones in that it is not required for general co-translational protein folding, but instead is dedicated to a subset of signaling molecules that are frequently mutated or over-expressed in cancer cells. Many of these client proteins, including the mutated p53, Bcr-Abl, Raf-1, Akt, ErbB2, and steroid receptors etc, are well-known and established cancer drug targets. The association with HSP90 ensures that these otherwise unstable oncoproteins function properly in multiple signaling pathways that are essential in maintaining the unregulated growth and the malignant phenotypes of tumors.
Crystallographic studies have revealed the existence of an unconventional low affinity ATP binding cleft at their N-terminal domain that is well conserved among the four HSP90 family members. ATP binding and hydrolysis play an essential role in the regulation of chaperone functions. The occupancy of the ATP binding site by the ansamycin antibiotics geldanamycin (GM) and herbimycin A (HA), as well as the structurally unrelated fungal metabolite radicicol, inhibits the intrinsic ATPase activity of HSP90, and blocks the ATP/ADP-regulated association-dissociation cycles between HSP90 and client proteins. Consequently, ATP-competitive HSP90 inhibitors induce destabilization and eventual ubiquitin-dependent degradation of multiple client proteins. Depending on cellular contexts, HSP90 inhibitors effectively cause growth arrest, differentiation, or apoptosis of tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo.
HSP90 is overexpressed (about 2-20 fold) in multiple tumor types as a result of oncogenic transformation (e.g. accumulation of mutated proteins) and cellular stress (e.g. low pH and lack of nutrients). Cancer cells are very adaptive to hostile microenvironments and are capable of acquiring drug resistance, in part due to their inherent genetic instability and plasticity. Moreover, most forms of cancer are polygenic and harbor multiple signaling aberrations. Hence, a need exists for inhibitors of HSP90 to combat a variety of hard-to-treat tumors by disrupting concurrently a wide range of oncogenic pathways.

Effective amounts of the compounds of the invention generally include any amount sufficient to detectably inhibit HSP90 activity by any of the assays described herein, by other HSP90 activity assays known to those having ordinary skill in the art, or by detecting an inhibition or alleviation of symptoms of cancer.
The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy. The therapeutically effective amount for a given situation can be readily determined by routine experimentation and is within the skill and judgment of the ordinary clinician.
For purposes of the present invention, a therapeutically effective dose will generally be a total daily dose administered to a host in single or divided doses may be in amounts, for example, of from 0.001 to 1000 mg/kg body weight daily and more preferred from 1.0 to 30 mg/kg body weight daily. Dosage unit compositions may contain such amounts of submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose.
The compounds of the present invention may be administered orally, parenterally, sublingually, by aerosolization or inhalation spray, rectally, or topically in dosage unit formulations containing conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles as desired. Topical administration may also involve the use of transdermal administration such as transdermal patches or ionophoresis devices. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques.

In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.
Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable nonirritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols, which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration may include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, cyclodextrins, and sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
The compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic. Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott (ed.), “Methods in Cell Biology,” Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, 1976, p. 33 et seq.

The above compounds to be employed in combination with the compounds of the invention will be used in therapeutic amounts as indicated in the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) 47th Edition (1993), which is incorporated herein by reference, or such therapeutically useful amounts as would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
The compounds of the invention and the other anticancer agents can be administered at the recommended maximum clinical dosage or at lower doses. Dosage levels of the active compounds in the compositions of the invention may be varied so as to obtain a desired therapeutic response depending on the route of administration, severity of the disease and the response of the patient. The combination can be administered as separate compositions or as a single dosage form containing both agents. When administered as a combination, the therapeutic agents can be formulated as separate compositions, which are given at the same time or different times, or the therapeutic agents, can be given as a single composition.
Antiestrogens, such as tamoxifen, inhibit breast cancer growth through induction of cell cycle arrest, that requires the action of the cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip. Recently, it has been shown that activation of the Ras-Raf-MAP Kinase pathway alters the phosphorylation status of p27Kip such that its inhibitory activity in arresting the cell cycle is attenuated, thereby contributing to antiestrogen resistance (Donovan, et al, J. Biol. Chem. 276:40888, 2001). As reported by Donovan et al., inhibition of MAPK signaling through treatment with MEK inhibitor changed the phosphorylation status of p27 in hormone refactory breast cancer cell lines and in so doing restored hormone sensitivity. Accordingly, in one aspect, the compounds of formula (I), (Ia), (II), (IIa), (III), (IV), (IVa), or a composition of formula (V), may be used in the treatment of hormone dependent cancers, such as breast and prostate cancers, to reverse hormone resistance commonly seen in these cancers with conventional anticancer agents.
In hematological cancers, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), chromosomal translocation is responsible for the constitutively activated BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. The afflicted patients are responsive to gleevec, a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, as a result of inhibition of Abl kinase activity. However, many patients with advanced stage disease respond to gleevec initially, but then relapse later due to resistance-conferring mutations in the Abl kinase domain. In vitro studies have demonstrated that BCR-Av1 employs the Raf kinase pathway to elicit its effects. In addition, inhibiting more than one kinase in the same pathway provides additional protection against resistance-conferring mutations. Accordingly, in another aspect of the invention, the compounds of formula (I), (Ia), (II), (IIa), (III), (IV), (IVa), or a composition of formula (V) are used in combination with at least one additional agent, such as gleevec, in the treatment of hematological cancers, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), to reverse or prevent resistance to the at least one additional agent.
In another aspect of the invention, kits that include one or more compounds of the invention are provided. Representative kits include a 2-amino-quinazolin-5-one compound of the invention (e.g., a compound of formula (I), (Ia), (II), (Ia), (III), (IV), (IVa), or a composition of formula (V)) and a package insert or other labeling including directions for treating a cellular proliferative disease by administering an HSP90 inhibitory amount of the compound.
In another embodiment, provided is a method of synthesizing a compound of formula (I), the comprising the steps of:
Schemes 1 and 2 below illustrates a general method for the preparation of intermediates and compounds of the embodiments. These compounds are prepared from starting materials either known in the art or commercially available. For illustrative purposes only, in Scheme 1, the X-Y-Z ring is bromophenyl.
In one aspect, certain compounds of the embodiments can be prepared as shown in Scheme 1. 4-(2-Bromophenyl)but-3-en-2-one 1-B is prepared from bromobenzaldehyde 1-A with homologation with acetone. Cyclization after addition of methyl acetoacetate of 4-(2-bromophenyl)but-3-en-2-one 1-B gives 5-(2-bromophenyl)-3-hydroxycyclohex-2-enone 1-C. Reaction of 1-C with an acylating agent such as R1COX (where X is a leaving group) in the presence of base gives ester 1-D. In the presence of a nucleophile, the acyl group rearranges to give dione 1-E. Subsequent reaction with guanidine gives 2-amino-quinzolinone 1-F.
In one aspect, certain compounds of the embodiments can be prepared as shown in Scheme 2. Various compounds 2-A are prepared from 2-amino-7-(2-bromophenyl)-quinzolinone 1-F. For example in one instance, coupling of 1-F with an appropriate organotin derivative occurs in the presence of a palladium catalyst. In another instance, coupling of 1-F with an aryl derivative occurs via a Suzuki coupling using a boron ester or boronic acid derivative. In another instance, coupling of 1-F with an alcohol to form an ether occurs in the presence of cesium carbonate. In another instance, coupling of 1-F with an amine occurs in the presence of a base or other catalyst. In another instance, acylation of 1-F occurs with reaction of said compound with carbon monoxide and an alcohol. In another instance, amidation of 1-F can occur with reaction with formamide.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis was performed on some of the compounds with a Varian 300 MHz NMR (Palo Alto, Calif.). The spectral reference was either TMS or the known chemical shift of the solvent. Some compound samples were run at elevated temperatures (e.g., 75° C.) to promote increased sample solubility.
The purity of some of the invention compounds is assessed by elemental analysis (Desert Analytics, Tucson, Ariz.)
Melting points are determined on a Laboratory Devices Mel-Temp apparatus (Holliston, Mass.).
