The present invention relates to aminopyrazole derivatives and uses thereof.
Most of currently promising molecular-targeted drugs against cancer are receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as erlotinib and lapatinib. Many of them are highly effective against cancers with mutation, amplification, or overexpression of target genes. However, such molecular-targeted agents cannot exert efficacy against cancers in which genes that are not their targets are altered. Thus, there is still no established therapeutic method that is effective against such cancers. Inhibitors against novel genes altered in cancer are expected to make a great contribution to treatment of cancer patients on whom conventional drugs have no effect.
Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) are kinases belonging to the receptor tyrosine kinase family. FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, and FGFR4 constitute the FGFR family. The ligand is fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and 22 types of structurally similar proteins form a family. It is known that each FGFR is activated upon overexpression, gene amplification, mutation, or translocation, and serves as a cause of cancer. The FGFR signal follows the MAPK pathway or PI3K/AKT pathway. In cancer, the signal is known to be involved in cell growth, angiogenesis, cell migration, invasion, metastasis, and such (Non-patent Document 1).
The FGFR1 gene is known to be amplified in breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (Non-patent Documents 2 and 3); mutated in glioblastoma (Non-patent Document 4); translocated to generate a fusion protein in acute myelocytic leukemia (Non-patent Document 5); and overexpressed in pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, prostatic cancer, and esophageal cancer. Furthermore, FGFR1 is known to be expressed in neovessels and greatly contribute to angiogenesis (Non-patent Document 6). The FGFR2 gene is known to be amplified in stomach cancer and breast cancer (Non-patent Documents 7 and 8); mutated in endometrial cancer (Non-patent Document 9); and overexpressed in prostatic cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, brain tumor, and colon cancer. The FGFR3 gene is known to be translocated in multiple myeloma (Non-patent Document 10); mutated in bladder cancer (Non-patent Document 11); and overexpressed in ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Finally, FGFR4 is known to be mutated in lung cancer, ovarian cancer, prostatic cancer, etc.; and overexpressed in thyroid cancer, ovarian cancer, etc.
As described above, all FGFR family kinases have been strongly suggested to be involved in cancer. Thus, the inhibition of the FGFR family kinases in cancer tissues may be a promising therapeutic method for treating the above types of cancer.
An objective of the present invention is to provide low molecular weight compounds capable of inhibiting fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family kinases in cancer tissues.

Functional groups can be modified, for example, by methods described in “Smith and March, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry (Fifth ed., John Wiley & Sons, 2001)” or “Richard C. Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations (VCH Publishers, Inc., 1989)”. Compounds used as a material for the production may be those commercially available, or as necessary, may be produced by conventional methods.
Alternatively, the compound of formula (46) was prepared by introducing a protecting group into the benzimidazole moiety of the 5-halobenzimidazole of formula (44) in the reaction system. The protecting group used is preferably a group that can be readily and selectively removed for deprotection in subsequent steps. Methods of selection of protecting groups and deprotection are described, for example, in Greene and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (third ed., John Wiley & Sons, 1999). The methods are appropriately used depending on the reaction condition. For example, a dimethoxymethyl group, trimethylsilyl group, p-methoxybenzyl group, tetrahydropyranyl group, formyl group, benzenesulfonyl group or such can be introduced as a protecting group under acidic or basic conditions. When a protecting group is introduced, acids are preferably used in a range of about 1% to about 1 equivalent. The acids include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid; sulfuric acid or sulfonic acids such as toluenesulfonic acid; carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, and benzoic acid; salts of strong acids such as pyridinium toluenesulfonate; and substances that generate hydrochloric acid in the reaction system, such as trimethylsilyl chloride. In addition to the above Brönsted acids, Lewis acids such as metal halides including zinc chloride, magnesium chloride, and lithium chloride are also effectively used in the reaction for introducing protecting groups. When a protecting group is introduced, bases are preferably used at one equivalent or more; or in some cases, at an excess amount such as about three equivalents. The bases preferably used include metal hydrides such as sodium hydride and potassium hydride; metal carbonates such as potassium carbonate and cesium carbonate; and metal alcoholates such as potassium t-butoxide and sodium t-butoxide.
Then, a base was added for halogen/metal exchange reaction to produce an intermediate in which the halogen group of formula (46) is replaced with a metal. Alkyl lithium or alkyl magnesium halide is preferably used as the base. More preferred bases include lower alkyl magnesium halides such as isopropyl magnesium chloride, isopropyl magnesium bromide, sec-butyl magnesium chloride, and cyclohexyl magnesium chloride. Solvents that ensure the stability of metal reagents in the reaction system are preferably used in the halogen/metal exchange reaction. The solvents include, for example, ether solvents such as diethyl ether, dimethoxy ethane, and tetrahydrofuran. A reaction temperature that ensures the stability of metal reagents in the reaction system is preferred. Considering known halogen/metal exchange reactions described in documents, the preferred temperature ranges from about −80° C. to room temperature, more preferably from about −78° C. to 15° C. The bases used herein are in solutions commercially available, or prepared using alkyl halides and metal lithium or metal magnesium. An intermediate resulting from replacement of the halogen group of formula (46) with a metal is treated with an azodicarboxylic acid derivative (for example, azodicarboxylic acid di-tert-butyl ester or azodicarboxylic acid diethyl ester) to obtain the compound of formula (47). Then, the benzimidazole-protecting group is removed for deprotection to provide the protected hydrazine of formula (45). The protected hydrazine of formula (45) can be purified and isolated from the reaction solution as a free form or a salt with an appropriate acid. The appropriate acids include not only inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, and sulfuric acid, but also any acids that are effective in the crystallization and purification. The acids include, for example, sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid and toluenesulfonic acid, and carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, benzoic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, and fumaric acid. Finally, the hydrazine-protecting group is removed for deprotection to provide the benzimidazolyl hydrazine of formula (5). The deprotection may be carried out under known acidic or basic conditions described in documents. Acids used in the deprotection include not only inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, and sulfuric acid, but also strong acids including carboxylic acids such as trifluoroacetic acid and pentafluoropropionic acid, and sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid and toluenesulfonic acid. As necessary, the reaction solution can be diluted with an appropriate solvent, and the deprotection can be carried out. The solvents preferably used herein include amide solvents such as DMF, DMA, and NMP. The benzoimidazolyl hydrazine of formula (5) of interest can be produced by treatment in such a solvent at a temperature ranging from about ice-cold temperature to the boiling point of the solvent. Meanwhile, bases suitably used in the deprotection include alkyl metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkyl metal carbonates such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate. The benzoimidazolyl hydrazine of formula (5) of interest can be produced by treatment in the presence of such a base in alcohol such as methanol or ethanol at a temperature ranging from about ice-cold temperature to the boiling point of the solvent.
Alternatively, the benzimidazole moiety of the 5-halobenzimidazole of formula (44) is protected with an above-described protecting group in the reaction system to provide the compound of formula (46). This is then heated in the presence of a hydrazine derivative (for example, di-tert-butyloxycarbonyl hydrazine), a base (for example, cesium carbonate or potassium carbonate), a transition metal catalyst (for example, palladium acetate, copper iodide, or copper bromide), a ligand (for example, triphenylphosphine, N,N-dimethyl glycine, or N,N′-dimethyl ethylene diamine), in a solvent (for example, N,N-dimethylacetamide). Thus, the compound of formula (47) is obtained. Then, the benzimidazole-protecting group is removed for deprotection to provide the protected hydrazine of formula (45). Finally, the hydrazine-protecting group is removed for deprotection by the method as described above to provide the benzimidazolyl hydrazine of formula (5).
Alternatively, the boronic acid derivative of formula (48) and a hydrazine derivative (for example, di-tert-butyloxycarbonyl hydrazine or azodicarboxylic acid di-tert-butyl ester) is stirred in the presence of a base (for example, tetramethyl ethylene diamine), a copper catalyst (for example, copper iodide, copper fluoride, or copper acetate) in a solvent (for example, methanol, tetrahydrofuran, or 1,2-dimethoxyethane) under a nitrogen atmosphere or in the air, at a temperature ranging from about room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent. Thus, the protected hydrazine of formula (45) is obtained. Finally, the hydrazine-protecting group is removed for deprotection by the method as described above to provide the benzimidazolyl hydrazine of formula (5).
