Description


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Field of the Invention


[0003] This invention relates to the modulation and/or inhibition of cell signaling, cell proliferation, the control of abnormal cell growth and cell inflammatory response. More specifically, this invention relates to the use of mono- and/or bicyclic aryl or heteroaryl quinazoline compounds which exhibit selective inhibition of differentiation, proliferation or mediator release by effectively inhibiting CSF-1R tyrosine kinase activity.


[0004] Normal cell growth is believed to be triggered by the exposure of the cellular substrate to one or more growth factors, examples of which are insulin, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Receptors for such growth factor are imbedded in and penetrate through the cellular membrane. The initiation of cellular reproduction is believed to occur when a growth factor binds to the corresponding receptor on the external surface of the cellular membrane. This growth factor-receptor binding alters the chemical characteristics of that portion of the receptor which exists within the cell and which functions as an enzyme to catalyze phosphorylation of either an intracellular substrate or the receptor itself, the latter being referred to as autophosphorylation. Examples of such phosphorylating enzymes include tyrosine kinases, which catalyze phosphorylation of tyrosine amino acid residues of substrate proteins.


[0005] Many disease states are characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells. These disease states involve a variety of cell types and include disorders such as cancer, leukemia, psoriasis, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases atherosclerosis and restenosis occuring subsequent to angioplastic procedures. The inhibition of tyrosine kinases is believed to have utility in the control of deregulated cellular proliferation, i.e., cellular proliferative disorders.


[0006] Initiation of autophosphorylation, i.e., phosphorylation of the growth factor receptor itself, and of the phosphorylation of a host of intracellular substrates are some of the biochemical events which are involved in mediator release and cell proliferation.



Reported Developments

[0007] Inhibitors of p56lck tyrosine kinase have been reported in the literature by Bolen, J. B. et al. FASEB J. 1992, 3403., Mustelin, T. et al. TIBS 1993, 215.; Eichmann, K. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Eng. 1993, 54.; and Klausner, R. D. Samelson, L. E. Cell 1991, 875. These include compounds that are potent but nonselective inhibitors, such as staurosporine, which is competitive with ATP or compounds that are very weak tyrosine kinase inhibitors, but are somewhat selective, such as the flavonoid quercetin.


[0008] A series of dihydroxy-isoquinolines have been been reported by Burke, T. R. et al. (Biorg. & Med. Chem. Lett. 1992, 1771; J. Med. Chem. 1993 3010 and J. Med. Chem. 1993, 3015) that have potent p56lck inhibiting activity. Potential therapeutic uses for selective inhibitors of p56lck-include the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or transplant rejection.


[0009] p56lck, which is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, has been shown to be important in intracellular signaling in T-cells. It is assumed that inhibitors of p56lck kinase activity perturb the activation of T-cells and therefore a selective inhibitor could prove useful in the treatment of T-cell mediated conditions such as organ rejection, rheumatoid arthritis or other auto-immune diseases.



SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The present invention describes compounds which are inhibitors of the colony stimulating factor-1 receptor tyrosine kinase, CSF-1R, activity and have activity in a p56lck cell-free assay. These compounds do not appear to have any significant serine/threonine kinase inhibitory activity and in addition, compounds within the scope of this invention do not demonstrate significant PDGF-R activity in a cell-free assay. Compounds of this invention are also weak inhibitors of PDGF-induced mitogenesis which may suggest that these compounds inhibit other sic-like tyrosine kinases involved in the signal transduction pathway.


[0011] Compounds within the scope of this invention are inhibitors of the colony stimulating factor-1 receptor tyrosine kinase, CSF-1R, activity. A selective inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of this receptor, which is closely related to the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R), has never been reported. Compounds of this invention are selective inhibitors of CSF-1R tyrosine kinase activity and are useful for elucidating the importance of CSF-1 and CSF-1 receptor signaling in bone remodeling and hematopoeisis. In addition compounds inhibiting growth factor-induced CSF and/or lck signalling are described herein.


[0012] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting abnormal cell proliferation and/or differentiation or mediator release in a patient suffering from a disorder characterized by such proliferation activity, comprising the administration to a patient a tyrosine kinase composition which effectively inhibits CSF-1R tyrosine kinase activity in a CSF-1R inhibiting effective amount of a mono-aryl or heteroaryl quinazoline compound exhibiting inhibition of differentiation, proliferation or mediator release activity wherein each aryl group is a ring system containing 0-4 hetero atoms, said compound being optionally substituted or polysubstituted.


[0013] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of inhibiting abnormal cell proliferation and/or differentiation or mediator release comprising, in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of the aforementioned type. Another aspect of this invention comprises compounds useful in the practice of the present method.

[0057] The compounds of this invention may be useful in the form of the free base, in the form of salts and as a hydrate. All forms are within the scope of the invention. Acid addition salts may be formed and are simply a more convenient form for use; and in practice, use of the salt form inherently amounts to use of the base form. The acids which can be used to prepare the acid addition salts include preferably those which produce, when combined with the free base, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, that is, salts whose anions are non-toxic to the animal organism in pharmaceutical doses of the salts, so that the beneficial properties inherent in the free base are not vitiated by side effects ascribable to the anions. Although pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said basic compound are preferred, all acid addition salts are useful as sources of the free base form even if the particular salt per se is desired only as an intermediate product as, for example, when the salt is formed only for purposes of purification and identification, or when it is used as an intermediate in preparing a pharmaceutically acceptable salt by ion exchange procedures.


[0058] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts within the scope of the invention include those derived from the following acids: mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and sulfamic acid; and organic acids such as acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, cyclohexylsulfamic acid, quinic acid, and the like.


[0059] The corresponding acid addition salts comprise the following: hydrochloride, sulfate, phosphate, sulfamate, acetate, citrate, lactate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, cyclohexylsulfamate and quinate, respectively.


[0060] The acid addition salts of the compounds of this invention are prepared either by dissolving the free base in aqueous or aqueous-alcohol solution or other suitable solvents containing the appropriate acid and isolating the salt by evaporating the solution, or by reacting the free base and acid in an organic solvent, in which case the salt separates directly or can be obtained by concentration of the solution.


[0061] The compounds of this invention may be prepared by employing procedures known in the literature starting from known compounds or readily prepared intermediates. Exemplary general procedures follow.


[0062] In general the compounds useful for the method of inhibiting cell proliferation and/or differentiation or mediator release may be prepared by the coupling reaction of a palladium catalyzed aryl or heteroarylstannane with an aryl or heteroarylhalide or triflate.
2


[0063] where A is halogen or triflate and B is trialkylstannane and R is as previously described.


[0064] The 4-haloquinazoline starting materials are prepared in the classical way using anthranilic acid derivatives and formamide at reflux to provide the intermediate quinazolinones. Subsequent treatment with POCl3 at about 110° C. for about two hours provides the chloroquinazolines. The final products are prepared via a condensation with the appropriate aniline derivative in a polar solvent such as ethanol. In the case of the phenoxy or thiophenoxy derivatives, the metal salt (preferably Na) is prepared and refluxed for several hours with the appropriate haloquinazoline in a solvent such as THF.
3


[0065] The aryl and heteroarylstannanes may be prepared from the corresponding halide (preferably bromide or iodide) by conversion to the aryllithium by reaction with t-butyllithium at decreased temperatures, preferably about −78° C. followed by reaction with a halotrialkylstannane.
4


[0066] Of course these products may also be prepared in the reverse manner using the aryl or heteroarylhalides with the the corresponding stannane.
5


[0067] The quinazoline stannanes intermediates may be prepared by the action of trimethyltin sodium on aryl halides as described in Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1982, 30, 1731-1737:


[0068] The preparation of the compounds useful in this invention are described in Applicants' copending applications U.S. Ser. No. 08/166,199, filed Dec. 10, 1993 and U.S. Ser. No. 08/229,886, filed Apr. 19, 1994 of which this application claims priority. U.S. Ser. No. 08/166,199 and U.S. Ser. No. 08/229,886 are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

The reaction mixture is diluted with methylene chloride washed with 10% ammonium hydroxide and stirred vigorously and then washed with water and the combined organics are washed with brine (75 mL), dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to dryness. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate yields 4-(1-methylsulphonylindol-3-yl)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline

[0148] EGF-Receptor Purification


[0149] EGF-receptor purification is based on the procedure of Yarden and Schiessinger. A431 cells are grown in 80 cm2 bottles to confluency (2×107 cells per bottle). The cells are washed twice with PBS and harvested with PBS containing 11.0 mmol EDTA (1 hour at 37° C., and centrifuged at 600 g for 10 minutes. The cells are solubilized in 1 ml per 2×107 cells of cold solubilization buffer (50 mmol Hepes buffer, pH 7.6, 1% Triton X-100, 150 mmol NaCl, 5 mmol EGTA, 1 mmol PMSF, 50 μg/ml aprotinin, 25 mmol benzamidine, 5 μg/ml leupeptic, and 10 μg/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor) for 20 minutes at 4° C. After centrifugation at 100,000 g for 30 minutes, the supernatant is loaded onto a WGA-agarose column (100 μl of packed resin per 2×107 cells) and shaken for 2 hours at 4° C. The unabsorbed material is removed and the resin washed twice with HTN buffer (50 mmol Hepes, pH 7.6, 0.1% Triton X-100, 150 mmol NaCl), twice with HTN buffer containing 1 M NaCl, and twice with HTNG buffer (50 mmol Hepes, pH 7.6, 0.1% Triton X-100, 150 mmol NaCl, and 10% glycerol). The EGF receptor is eluted batchwise with HTNG buffer containing 0.5 M N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (200 μl per 2×107 cells.). The eluted material is stored in aliquots at −70° C. and diluted before use with TMTNG buffer (50 mmol Tris-Mes buffer, pH 7.6, 0.1% Triton X-100, 150 mmol NaCl, 10% glycerol).


[0150] ATP and EGF Dependence of Autophosphorylation


[0151] WGA-purified EGF receptor from A431 cells (0.5 μg/assay is activated with EGF (0.85 μM) for 20 minutes at 4° C. The assay is performed at 15° C. and initiated by addition of Mg(Ac)2 (60 mmol), Tris-Mes buffer, pH 7.6 (50 mmol), [32P]ATP (carrier free, 5 μCi/assay), and increasing concentrations of nonradioactive ATP. The assay is terminated after 10-sec by addition of SDS sample buffer. The samples are run on a 6% SDS polyacrylamide gel. The gel is dried and autoradiographed as described above. The relevant radioactive bands are cut and counted in the Cerenkov mode. The Km for ATP determined in this fashion is found to be 7.2 μM. With use of the 10-sec assay protocol, the EGF concentration dependence of EGF-RK autophosphorylation is determined.


[0152] Inhibition of EGF-R Autophosphorylation


[0153] A431 cells are grown to confluence on human fibronectin coated tissue culture dishes. After washing 2 times with ice-cold PBS, cells are lysed by the addition of 500 μl/dish of lysis buffer (50 mmol Hepes, pH 7.5, 150 mmol NaCl, 1.5 mmol MgCl2, 1 mmol EGTA, 10% glycerol, 1% triton X-100, 1 mmol PMSF, 1 mg/ml aprotinin, 1 mg/ml leupeptin) and incubating 5 minutes at 4° C. After EGF stimulation (500 μg/ml 10 minutes at 37° C.) immunoprecipitation is performed with anti EGF-R (Ab 108) and the autophosphorylation reaction (50 μl aliquots, 3 μCi [γ-32P]ATP) sample is carried out in the presence of 2 or 10 μM of compound of the present invention, for 2 minutes at 4° C. The reaction is stopped by adding hot electrophoresis sample buffer. SDA-PAGE analysis (7.5% els) is followed by autoradiography and the reaction is quantitated by densitometry scanning of the x-ray films.


[0154] Cell Culture


[0155] Cells termed HER 14 and K721A (=DK) are prepared by transfecting NIH3T3 cells (clone 2.2) (From C. Fryling, NCl, NIH), which lack endogenous EGF-receptors, with cDNA constructs of wild-type EGF-receptor or mutant EGF-receptor lacking tyrosine kinase activity (in which Lys 721 at the ATP-binding site is replace by an Ala residue, respectively). All cells are grown in DMEM with 10% calf serum (Hyclone, Logan, Utah).

[0168] The results obtained by the above experimental methods evidence the useful CSF-1R receptor protein tyrosine kinase inhibition properties of compounds within the scope of the present invention and possess therapeutic value as cellular antiproliferative agents. The above pharmacological test results may be used to determine the dosage and mode of administration for the particular therapy sought.


[0169] The compounds of the present invention can be administered to a mammalian host in a variety of forms adapted to the chosen route of administration, i.e., orally, or parenterally. Parenteral administration in this respect includes administration by the following routes: intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraocular, intrasynovial, transepithelial including transdermal, ophthalmic, sublingual and buccal; topically including ophthalmic, dermal, ocular, rectal and nasal inhalation via insufflation and aerosol and rectal systemic.


[0170] The active compound may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or it may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, or it may be compressed into tablets, or it may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may be incorporated with excipient and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1% of active compound. The percentage of the compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2 to about 6% of the weight of the unit. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained. Preferred compositions or preparations according to the present invention are prepared so that an oral dosage unit form contains between about 1 and 1000 mg of active compound.


[0171] The tablets, troches, pills, capsules and the like may also contain the following: A binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose or saccharin may be added or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry flavoring. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with shellac, sugar or both. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing any dosage unit form should be pharmaceutically pure and substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed. In addition, the active compound may be incorporated into sustained-release preparations and formulations.


[0172] The active compound may also be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Solutions of the active compound as a free base or pharmacologically acceptable salt can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersion can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.


[0173] The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases the for must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It may be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by use of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.


[0174] Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredient into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and the freeze drying technique which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.


[0175] The therapeutic compounds of this invention may be administered to a mammal alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, as noted above, the proportion of which is determined by the solubility and chemical nature of the compound, chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.


[0176] The dosage of the present therapeutic agents which will be most suitable for prophylaxis or treatment will vary with the form of administration, the particular compound chosen and the physiological characteristics of the particular patient under treatment. Generally, small dosages will be used initially and if necessary, will be increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. The therapeutic human dosage, based on physiological studies using rats, will generally be from about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day or from about 0.4 mg to about 10 g or higher although it may be administered in several different dosage units from once to several times a day. Oral administration requires higher dosages.
