Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to 6-aminoisoquinoline compounds that affect the function of kinases in a cell and that are useful as therapeutic agents or with therapeutic agents. In particular, these compounds are useful in the treatment of eye diseases such as glaucoma and for diseases characterized by abnormal growth, such as cancers.


BACKGROUND

A variety of hormones, neurotransmitters and biologically active substances control, regulate or adjust the functions of living bodies via specific receptors located in cell membranes. Many of these receptors mediate the transmission of intracellular signals by activating guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) to which the receptor is coupled. Such receptors are generically referred to as G-protein coupled receptors (OPCRs) and include, among others, α-adrenergic receptors, β-adrenergic receptors, opioid receptors, cannabinoid receptors and prostaglandin receptors. The effect of these receptors is not direct but mediated by a host of intracellular proteins. The importance of these secondary, or “downstream” proteins is only now being recognized and investigated as potential intervention points in disease states. One of the most important classes of these downstream proteins is the “kinase” class.


The various kinases play an important role in the regulation of various physiological functions. By way of example, kinases have been implicated in a number of disease states, including, but not limited to: cardiac indications such as angina pectoris, essential hypertension, myocardial infarction, supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, renal failure, diabetes, respiratory indications such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, bronchospasm, emphysema, airway obstruction, upper respiratory indications such as rhinitis, seasonal allergies, inflammatory disease, inflammation in response to injury, rheumatoid arthritis. The importance of p38 MAPK inhibitors as new drugs for rheumatoid arthritis is reflected by the large number of compounds that has been developed over the last years (J. Westra and P. C. Limburg Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry Volume 6, Number 8, August 2006) Other conditions include chronic inflammatory bowel disease, glaucoma, hypergastrinemia, gastrointestinal indications such as acid/peptic disorder, erosive esophagitis, gastrointestinal hypersecretion, mastocytosis, gastrointestinal reflux, peptic ulcer, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, pain, obesity, bulimia nervosa, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, organ malformations (for example, cardiac malformations), neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease, multiple sclerosis, Epstein-Barr infection and cancer (Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 1, 493-502 2002). In other disease states, the role of kinases is only now becoming clear. The retina is a complex tissue composed of multiple interconnected cell layers, highly specialized for transforming light and color into electrical signals perceived by the brain. Damage or death of the primary light-sensing cells, the photoreceptors, results in devastating effects on vision. Despite the identification of numerous mutations that cause inherited retinal degenerations, the cellular and molecular mechanisms leading from the primary mutations to photoreceptor apoptosis are not well understood, but may involve the wnt pathway (AS Hackam The Wnt Signaling Pathway in Retinal Degeneration IUBMB Life Volume 57, Number 6/June 2005).


The success of the tyrosine-kinase inhibitor ST1571 (Gleevec) in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukaemia (Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 2, 296-313 2003) has spurred considerable efforts to develop other kinase inhibitors for the treatment of a wide range of other cancers (Nature Reviews Cancer 3, 650-665 2003). The balance between the initiation and the inactivation of the intracellular signals regulates the intensity and duration of the response of the receptors to stimuli such as agonists. When desensitization occurs, the mediation or regulation of the physiological function mediated or regulated by the G proteins to which the receptors are coupled is reduced or prevented. For example, when agonists are administered to treat a disease or condition by activation of certain receptors, the receptors become desensitized from the action of the GRKs such that agonist administration may no longer result in therapeutic activation of the appropriate receptors. At that point, administration of the agonist no longer enables sufficient or effective control of or influence on the disease or condition intended to be treated.


In view of the role of kinases in many disease states, there is an urgent and continuing need for ligands which inhibit or modulate the activity of kinases. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is thought that modulation of the activity of kinases by the compounds of the present invention is responsible for their beneficial effects.

The dosage range of the compound for systemic administration is from about 0.01 to about 1000 μg/kg body weight, preferably from about 0.1 to about 100 μg/kg per body weight, most preferably form about 1 to about 50 μg/kg body weight per day. The transdermal dosages will be designed to attain similar serum or plasma levels, based upon techniques known to those skilled in the art of pharmacokinetics and transdermal formulations. Plasma levels for systemic administration are expected to be in the range of 0.01 to 100 nanograms/mL, (ng/mL) more preferably from 0.05 to 50 ng/mL and most preferably from 0.1 to 10 ng/mL. While these dosages are based upon a daily administration rate, weekly or monthly accumulated dosages may also be used to calculate the clinical requirements.


Dosages may be varied based on the patient being treated, the condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the route of administration, etc. to achieve the desired effect.


The compounds of the present invention are useful in decreasing intraocular pressure. Thus, these compounds are useful in the treatment of glaucoma. The preferred route of administration for treating glaucoma is topically.


The exact amounts of each component in the topical composition depend on various factors. The amount of component A added to the topical composition is dependent on the IC50 of component A, typically expressed in nanomolar (nM) units. For example, if the IC50 of the medicament is 1 nM, the amount of component A will be from about 0.0001 to about 0.1%. If the IC50 of the medicament is 10 nM, the amount of component A) will be from about 0.01 to about 1%. If the IC50 of the medicament is 100 nM, the amount of component A will be from about 0.1 to about 10%. If the IC50 of the medicament is 1000 nM, the amount of component A will be 1 to 100%, preferably 5% to 50%. If the amount of component A is outside the ranges specified above (i.e., lower), efficacy of the treatment may be reduced. One skilled in the art would know how to calculate an IC50. The remainder of the composition, up to 100%, is component B.


The amount of the carrier employed in conjunction with component A is sufficient to provide a practical quantity of composition for administration per unit dose of the medicament.

Procedures for preparation of the 6-aminoisoquinolines are described in the following examples.


All temperatures are given in degrees Centigrade. Reagents and starting materials were purchased from commercial sources or prepared following published literature procedures.


Unless otherwise noted. HPLC purification, when appropriate, was performed by redissolving the compound in a small volume of DMSO and filtering through a 0.45 micron (nylon disc) syringe filter. The solution was then purified using, for example, a 50 mm Varian Dynamax HPLC 21.4 mm Microsorb Guard-8 C8 column. A typical initial eluting mixture of 40-80% MeOH:H2O was selected as appropriate for the target compound. This initial gradient was maintained for 0.5 minutes then increased to 100% MeOH:0% H2O over 5 minutes. 100% MeOH was maintained for 2 more minutes before re-equilibration back to the initial starting gradient. A typical total run time was 8 minutes. The resulting fractions were analyzed, combined as appropriate, and then evaporated to provide purified material.


Proton magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra were recorded on either a Varian INOVA 400 MHz (1H) NMR spectrometer, Varian INOVA 500 MHz (1H) NMR spectrometer, Bruker ARX 300 MHz (1H) NMR spectrometer, Bruker DPX 400 MHz (1H) NMR spectrometer, or a Bruker DRX 500 MHz (1H) NMR spectrometer. All spectra were determined in the solvents indicated. Although chemical shifts are reported in ppm downfield of tetramethylsilane, they are referenced to the residual proton peak of the respective solvent peak for 1H NMR. Interproton coupling constants are reported in Hertz (Hz). Analytical HPLC was performed using a Phenomenex Aqua 5 micron C18 125 Å 50×4.60 mm column coupled with an Agilent 1100 series VWD UV detector. A neutral 0.1% BES (w/v) pH 7.1 buffer with LiOH and 1% CH3CN in H2O is used as the aqueous phase. The initial gradient was 55% MeOH aqueous buffer which was increased to 100% MeOH over 3 minutes. 100% MeOH was maintained for 2 minutes before it was re-equilibrated to the initial starting gradient. Spectra were analyzed at 254 nm. LCMS spectra were obtained using a Thermofinnigan AQA MS ESI instrument. The samples were passed through a Phenomenex Aqua 5 micron C18 125 Å 50×4.60 mm column. The initial gradient was 55% MeOH: 1% CH3CN in H2O which was increased to 100% MeOH over 3 minutes. 100% MeOH was maintained for 2 minutes before it was re-equilibrated to the initial starting gradient. The spray setting for the MS probe was at 350 μL/min with a cone voltage at 25 mV and a probe temperature at 450° C.

Example 117. Synthesis of 4-(2-(isoquinolin-6-ylcarbamoyl)cyclopropyl)-N-(4-phenoxyphenyl)benzamide: (E117d)



embedded image


A stirred suspension of 4-formylcinnamic acid (58.3 mmol) in 130 mL methanol was protected from the atmosphere with a CaCl2 guard tube attached to the end of a condenser. The reaction mixture was maintained between −50 and −45° C. [dry ice/acetone] while thionyl chloride (3 equiv.) was added over 1 h using syringe pump (addition rate: 0.25 ml/min). During addition the reaction thickened but stirring continued. Following addition, the reaction was allowed to stir and come to room temperature overnight. Volatiles were removed under reduced pressure (Rotovap). Dichloromethane was added. The reaction was stirred and water was carefully added. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel. The aqueous layer was removed and discarded. The organic phase was washed consecutively with brine, sat. NaHCO3 and brine. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The solid was recrystallized from CH2Cl2/hexanes to provide the intermediate methyl ester.


The methyl ester (9.31 mmol) was dissolved in 300 ml acetone then diluted with 75 ml water. To this suspension, the sulfamic acid (1.45 eq.) and sodium chlorite (1.40 eq.) were added. The reaction stirred at room temperature for three hours. The reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc and the combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The material was recrystallized from EtOAc to give the intermediate acid, E117b.


2.2 eq NaH (60% dispersion in oil) and 2.5 eq trimethylsulfoxonium iodide were weighed into a dry flask under nitrogen. 20 ml anhydrous DMSO was added and the reaction stirred one hour at room temperature. The intermediate acid E117b (6.8 mmol), dissolved in 6 ml anhydrous DMSO was added dropwise. After 2.5 hours at room temperature, the reaction was poured into IN HCl and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with a minimal amount of aqueous sodium thiosulfate then brine. The combined organic layers were then dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to provide the intermediate cyclopropane E117c. The material E117c was used without further purification.


The intermediate cyclopropane (0.95 mmol) was dissolved in 5 ml anhydrous CH2Cl2 under nitrogen. Two drops of anhydrous DMF were added followed by 1.1 eq. of oxalyl chloride. After 1.5 hours, this solution was added drop wise to a solution of 1.0 eq. of 4-phenoxyaniline and 1.2 eq. Et3N dissolved in 5 ml CH2Cl2. The reaction was left at room temperature overnight then poured into water. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The intermediate amide was purified by flash chromatography.


The intermediate amide (0.125 mmol) was dissolved in 1.2 ml of 3:1 THF/MeOH. 3 Eq. of LiOH.H2O dissolved in 300 μL water was added to this solution at 0° C. The reaction was warmed to room temperature. After one hour the reaction was quenched with sat. NH4Cl then the pH lowered to 3 with IN HCl. The precipitate was either collected by filtration or the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give the intermediate acid. The material was used without further purification.


The intermediate acid was dissolved in 1 mL anhydrous DMF under nitrogen. 1.6 eq. EDC was added followed by 0.08 eq. DMAP and 1.3 eq. 6-aminoisoquinoline and the reaction left at room temperature over night. Reaction was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed once with water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The final compound E117d was purified by flash chromatography.


Example 118. Synthesis of 4-(2-(isoquinolin-6-ylcarbamoyl)cyclopropyl)-N-(pyridin-4-yl)benzamide (E118)



embedded image


Using the procedures in Example 117, Intermediate 118a was prepared. 1.2 Eq. of 6-aminoisoquinoline was suspended in 0.5 ml toluene in a dry flask under nitrogen. 1.2 eq of 2.0M trimethylaluminum in heptane was added dropwise. After one hour all the suspended material has dissolved. This solution was added to 0.1 mmol of intermediate 118a suspended in 0.5 ml toluene under nitrogen. The reaction is heated at 80° C. overnight. Sat. aq. Rochelle's salt was added to the reaction and this was stirred vigorously for 30 minutes. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc and the combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The compound E118b was purified by flash chromatography.


Reference Example One: The Cell-Based Porcine Trabecular Meshwork (PTM) Assay

The anterior section of porcine eyes was harvested within 4 hours post-mortem. The iris and ciliary body were removed and trabecular meshwork cells were harvested by blunt dissection. Finely minced trabecular meshwork tissue was plated into collagen-coated 6-well plates in Medium-199 containing 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS). After two passages at confluence, cells were transferred to low-glucose DMEM containing 10% FBS. Cells were used between passage 3 and passage 8.


Cells were plated into fibronectin-coated, glass multiwell plates the day before compound testing under standard culture conditions. Compounds were added to cells in the presence of 1% FBS-containing DMEM and 1% DMSO. When compounds were incubated with the cells for the duration determined to be optimal, the media and compound is removed and cells fixed for 20 minutes in 3% methanol-free paraformaldehyde. Cells were rinsed twice with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and cells are permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 for two minutes. Following an additional two washes with PBS, F-actin was stained with Alexa-fluor 488-labelled phalloidin and nuclei are stained with DAPI.


Data was reduced to the mean straight actin-fiber length and normalized to DMSO-treated control cells (100%) and 50M Y-27632 (0%). Y-27632 is a rho-kinase inhibitor known to result in the depolymerization of F-actin in these cells
