Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to methods of treating diseases mediated by the VEGF induced signal transduction pathway characterized by abnormal angiogenesis or hyperpermeability processes.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Vasculogenesis involves the de novo formation of blood vessels from endothelial cell precursors or angioblasts. The first vascular structures in the embryo are formed by vasculogenesis. Angiogenesis involves the development of capillaries from existing blood vessels, and is the principle mechanism by which organs, such as the brain and the kidney are vascularized. While vasculogenesis is restricted to embryonic development, angiogenesis can occur in the adult, for example during pregnancy, the female cycle, or wound healing.


One major regulator of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in both embryonic development and some angiogenic-dependent diseases is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF; also called vascular permeability factor, VPF). VEGF represents a family of isoforms of mitogens existing in homodimeric forms due to alternative RNA splicing. The VEGF isoforms are highly specific for vascular endothelial cells (for reviews, see: Farrara et al. Endocr. Rev. 1992, 13, 18; Neufield et al. FASEB J. 1999, 13, 9).


VEGF expression is induced by hypoxia (Shweiki et al. Nature 1992, 359, 843), as well as by a variety of cytokines and growth factors, such as interleukin-1, interleukin-6, epidermal growth factor and transforming growth factor-α and -β.


To date VEGF and the VEGF family members have been reported to bind to one or more of three transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases (Mustonen et al. J. Cell Biol., 1995, 129, 895), VEGF receptor-1 (also known as flt-1 (fms-like tyrosine kinase-1)), VEGFR-2 (also known as kinase insert domain containing receptor (KDR); the murine analogue of KDR is known as fetal liver kinase-1 (flk-1)), and VEGFR-3 (also known as flt-4). KDR and flt-1 have been shown to have different signal transduction properties (Waltenberger et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1994, 269, 26988); Park et al. Oncogene 1995, 10, 135). Thus, KDR undergoes strong ligand-dependant tyrosine phosphorylation in intact cells, whereas flt-1 displays a weak response. Thus, binding to KDR is a critical requirement for induction of the full spectrum of VEGF-mediated biological responses.


In vivo, VEGF plays a central role in vasculogenesis, and induces angiogenesis and permeabilization of blood vessels. Deregulated VEGF expression contributes to the development of a number of diseases that are characterized by abnormal angiogenesis and/or hyperpermeability processes. Regulation of the VEGF-mediated signal transduction cascade will therefore provide a useful mode for control of abnormal angiogenesis and/or hyperpermeability processes.


Angiogenesis is regarded as an absolute prerequisite for growth of tumors beyond about 1-2 mm. Oxygen and nutrients may be supplied to cells in tumor smaller than this limit through diffusion. However, every tumor is dependent on angiogenesis for continued growth after it has reached a certain size. Tumorigenic cells within hypoxic regions of tumors respond by stimulation of VEGF production, which triggers activation of quiescent endothelial cells to stimulate new blood vessel formation. (Shweiki et al. Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Set., 1995, 92, 768). In addition, VEGF production in tumor regions where there is no angiogenesis may proceed through the ras signal transduction pathway (Grugel et al. J. Biol. Chem., 1995, 270, 25915; Rak et al. Cancer Res. 1995, 55, 4575). In situ hybridization studies have demonstrated VEGF mRNA is strongly upregulated in a wide variety of human tumors, including lung (Mattern et al. Br. J. Cancer 1996, 73, 931), thyroid (Viglietto et al. Oncogene 1995, 11, 1569), breast (Brown et al. Human Pathol. 1995, 26, 86), gastrointestinal tract (Brown et al. Cancer Res. 1993, 53, 4727; Suzuki et al. Cancer Res. 1996, 56, 3004), kidney and bladder (Brown et al. Am. J. Pathol. 1993, 1431, 1255), ovary (Olson et al. Cancer Res. 1994, 54, 1255), and cervical (Guidi et al. J. Nat'l Cancer Inst. 1995, 87, 12137) carcinomas, as well as angiosarcoma (Hashimoto et al. Lab. Invest. 1995, 73, 859) and several intracranial tumors (Plate et al. Nature 1992, 359, 845; Phillips et al. Int. J. Oncol. 1993, 2, 913; Berkman et al. J. Clin. Invest., 1993, 91, 153). Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to KDR have been shown to be efficacious in blocking tumor angiogenesis (Kim et al. Nature 1993, 362, 841; Rockwell et al. Mol. Cell. Differ. 1995, 3, 315).


Over expression of VEGF, for example under conditions of extreme hypoxia, can lead to intraocular angiogenesis, resulting in hyperproliferation of blood vessels, leading eventually to blindness. Such a cascade of events has been observed for a number of retinopathies, including diabetic retinopathy, ischemic retinal-vein occlusion, retinopathy of prematurity (Aiello et al. New Engl. J. Med. 1994, 331, 1480; Peer et al. Lab. Invest. 1995, 72, 638), and age-related macular degeneration (AMD; see, Lopez et al. Invest. Opththalmol. Vis. Sci. 1996, 37, 855).


In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the in-growth of vascular pannus may be mediated by production of angiogenic factors. Levels of immunoreactive VEGF are high in the synovial fluid of RA patients, while VEGF levels were low in the synovial fluid of patients with other forms of arthritis of with degenerative joint disease (Koch et al. J. Immunol. 1994; 152, 4149). The angiogenesis inhibitor AGM-170 has been shown to prevent neovascularization of the joint in the rat collagen arthritis model (Peacock et al. J. Exper. Med. 1992, 175, 1135).


Increased VEGF expression has also been shown in psoriatic skin, as well as bullous disorders associated with subepidermal blister formation, such as bullous pemphigoid, erythema multiforme, and dermatitis herpetiformis (Brown et al. J. Invest. Dermatol. 1995, 104, 744).


Because inhibition of KDR leads to inhibition of VEGF-mediated angiogenesis and permeabilization, KDR inhibitors will be useful in treatment of diseases characterized by abnormal angiogenesis and/or hyperpermeability processes, including the above listed diseases

The structure L of formula I is preferably —O—, a single bond, —S—, —N(CH3)—, —NHCH2—, NC2H4—, —CH2—, —C(O)—, —CH(OH)—, —NHC(O)N(CH3)CH2—, —N(CH3)C(O)N(CH3)CH2—, —CH2C(O)N(CH3)—, —C(O)N(CH3)CH2—, —NHC(O)—, —N(CH3)C(O)—, —C(O)N(CH3)—, —C(O)NH—, —CH2O—, —CH2S—, —CH2N(CH3)—, —OCH2—, —CHF—, —CF2—, —CCl2—, —S—CH2—, and —N(CH3)CH2—.


One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that some of the compounds of Formula (I) can exist in different geometrical isomeric forms. A number of the compounds of Formula I possess asymmetric carbons and can therefore exist in racemic and optically active forms as well as in the form of racemic or non-racemic mixtures thereof, and in the form of diastereomers and diastereomeric mixtures. All of these compounds, including cis isomers, trans isomers, diastereomic mixtures, racemates, non-racemic mixtures of enantiomers, substantially pure, and pure enantiomers, are considered to be within the scope of the present invention and are collectively referred to when reference is made to compounds of this invention.


Methods of separation of enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures are well known to one skilled in the art. The optical isomers can be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixtures according to conventional processes, for example, by the formation of diastereoisomeric salts using an optically active acid or base. Examples of appropriate acids are tartaric, diacetyltartaric, dibenzoyltartaric, ditoluoyltartaric and camphorsulfonic acid. Mixtures of diastereoisomers can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by chromatography or fractional crystallization. The optically active bases or acids are liberated from the separated diastereomeric salts.


Another process for separation of optical isomers involves the use of a chiral chromatography column (e.g., chiral HPLC columns) optimally chosen to maximize the separation of the enantiomers. Suitable chiral HPLC columns are manufactured by Diacel, e.g., Chiracel OD and Chiracel OJ. The optically active compounds of Formula (I) can likewise be obtained by utilizing optically active starting materials.


The present invention encompasses any isolated racemic or optically active form of compounds described in Formula I which possess angiogenesis inhibitory activity. The term stereoisomer is understood to encompass diastereoisomers, enantiomers, geometric isomers, etc. Herein, substantially pure enantiomers is intended to mean that no more than 5% w/w of the corresponding opposite enantiomer is present.


Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of these compounds as well as commonly used prodrugs of these compounds are also within the scope of the invention.

The compounds of this invention can be made according to conventional chemical methods, and/or as disclosed below, from starting materials which are either commercially available or producible according to routine, conventional chemical methods. General methods for the preparation of the compounds are given below, and the preparation of a suitable compound is specifically illustrated in the Examples.


Ureas of formula (I) can be prepared by a variety of simple methods known in the art. General approaches for the formation of those compounds can be found in “Advanced Organic Chemistry”, by J. March, John Wiley and Sons, 1985 and in “Comprehensive Organic Transformations”, by R. C. Larock, VCH Publishers, 1989), which are hereby incorporated by reference. Nevertheless, the following general preparative methods are presented to aid one of skill in the art in synthesizing these compounds, with more detailed examples being presented in the experimental section describing the working examples.


General Preparative Methods


Heterocyclic amines may be synthesized utilizing known methodology (Katritzky, et al. Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry; Permagon Press: Oxford, UK (1984). March. Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd Ed.; John Wiley: New York (1985)). For example, as shown in Scheme 1,5-aminopyrazoles substituted at the N-1 position with either aryl or heteroaryl moieties may be synthesized by the reaction of an α-cyanoketone (2) with the appropriate aryl-or heteroaryl hydrazine (3, R2=aryl or heteroaryl). Cyanoketone 2, in turn, is available from the reaction, of acetamidate ion with an appropriate acyl derivative, such as an ester, an acid halide, or an acid anhydride. In cases where the R2 moiety offers suitable anion stabilization, 2-aryl-and 2-heteroarylfurans may be synthesized from a Mitsunobu reaction of cyanoketone 2 with alcohol 5, followed by base catalyzed cyclization of enol ether 6 to give furylamine 7.

Substituted anilines may be generated using standard methods (March. Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd Ed.; John Wiley: New York (1985). Larock. Comprehensive Organic Transformations; VCH Publishers: New York (1989)). As shown in Scheme II, aryl amines are commonly synthesized by reduction of nitroaryls using a metal catalyst, such as Ni, Pd, or Pt, and H2 or a hydride transfer agent, such as formate, cyclohexadiene, or a borohydride (Rylander. Hydrogenation Methods; Academic Press: London, UK (1985)). Nitroaryls may also be directly reduced using a strong hydride source, such as LiAlH4 (Seyden-Penne. Reductions by the Alumino-and Borohydrides in Organic Synthesis; VCH Publishers: New York (1991)), or using a zero valent metal, such as Fe, Sn or Ca, often in acidic media. Many methods exist for the synthesis of nitroaryls (March. Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd Ed.; John Wiley: New York (1985). Larock. Comprehensive Organic Transformations; VCH Publishers: New York (1989)).

Nitroaryls are commonly fowled by electrophilic aromatic nitration using HNO3, or an alternative NO2+ source. Nitro aryls may be further elaborated prior to reduction. Thus, nitroaryls substituted with

potential leaving groups (eg. F, Cl, Br, etc.) may undergo substitution reactions on treatment with nucleophiles, such as thiolate (exemplified in Scheme DJ) or phenoxide. Nitroaryls may also undergo Ullman-type coupling reactions (Scheme III).

As shown in Scheme IV, urea formation may involve reaction of a heteroaryl isocyanate (12) with an aryl amine (11). The heteroaryl isocyanate may be synthesized from a heteroaryl amine by treatment with phosgene or a phosgene equivalent, such as trichloromethyl chloroformate (diphosgene), bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate (triphosgene), or N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI). The isocyanate may also be derived from a heterocyclic carboxylic acid derivative, such as an ester, an acid halide or an anhydride by a Curtius-type rearrangement. Thus, reaction of acid derivative 16 with an azide source, followed by rearrangement affords the isocyanate. The corresponding carboxylic acid (17) may also be subjected to Curtius-type rearrangements using diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) or a similar reagent. A urea may also be generated, from the reaction of an aryl isocyanate (15) with a heterocyclic amine.

Finally, ureas may be further manipulated using methods familiar to those skilled in the art. For example, 2-aryl and 2-heteroarylthienyl ureas are available from the corresponding 2-halothienyl urea through transition metal mediated cross coupling reactions (exemplified with 2-bromothiophene 25, Scheme V). Thus, reaction of nitrile 20 with an α-thioacetate ester gives 5-substituted-3-amino-2-thiophenecarboxylate 21 (Ishizaki et al. JP 6025221). Decarboxylation of ester 21 may be achieved by protection of the amine, for example as the tert-butoxy (BOC) carbamate (22), followed by saponification and treatment with acid. When BOC protection is used, decarboxylation may be accompanied by deprotection giving the substituted 3-thiopheneammonium salt 23. Alternatively, ammonium salt 23 may be directly generated through saponification of ester 21 followed by treatment with acid. Following urea formation as described above, bromination affords penultimate halothiophene 25. Palladium mediated cross coupling of thiophene 25 with an appropriate tributyl-or trimethyltin (R2=aryl or heteroaryl) then affords the desired 2-aryl-or 2-heteroarylthienyl urea.

Finally, ureas may be further manipulated using methods familiar to those skilled in the art.


The compounds may be administered orally, topically, parenterally, by inhalation or spray or vaginally, sublingually, or rectally in dosage unit formulations.


The term ‘administration by injection’ includes intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and parenteral injections, as well as use of infusion techniques. Dermal administration may include topical application or transdermal administration. One or more compounds may be present in association with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and if desired other active ingredients.


Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any suitable method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions. Such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of diluents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, microcrystalline cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose or alginic acid; and binding agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc and lubricants/surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and adsorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. These compounds may also be prepared in solid, rapidly released form.


Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.


Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally occurring phosphatide, for example, lecithin, or condensation products or an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethylene oxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.


Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example, sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.


The compounds may also be in the form of non-aqueous liquid formulations, e.g., oily suspensions which may be formulated by suspending the active ingredients in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or peanut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide palatable oral preparations. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.


Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.


Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and flavoring and coloring agents.


The compounds may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal or vaginal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum or vagina to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.


Compounds of the invention may also be administrated transdermally using methods known to those skilled in the art (see, for example: Chien; “Transdermal Controlled Systemic Medications”; Marcel Dekker, Inc.; 1987. Lipp et al. WO94/04157 3 Mar. 1994). For example, a solution or suspension of a compound of Formula I in a suitable volatile solvent optionally containing penetration enhancing agents can be combined with additional additives known to those skilled in the art, such as matrix materials and bacteriocides. After sterilization, the resulting mixture can be formulated following known procedures into dosage forms. In addition, on treatment with emulsifying agents and water, a solution or suspension of a compound of Formula I may be formulated into a lotion or salve.

These dosages regimes can be achieved with multiple dosages within a single day or extended dosages, such as those given on a weekly or monthly basis.


It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the particular method of administration will depend on a variety of factors, all of which are considered routinely when administering therapeutics. It will also be appreciated by one skilled in the art that the specific dose level for any given patient will depend upon, a variety of factors, including, the activity of the specific compound employed, the age of the patient, the body weight of the patient, the general health of the patient, the gender of the patient, the diet of the patient, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combinations, and the severity of the condition undergoing therapy.

Proton (1H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were measured with a General Electric GN-Omega 300 (300 MHz) spectrometer with either Me4Si (δ 0.00) or residual protonated solvent (CHCl3 δ 7.26; MeOH δ 3.30; DMSO δ 2.49) as standard. Carbon (13C) NMR spectra were measured with a General Electric GN-Omega 300 (75 MHz) spectrometer with solvent (CDCl3 δ 77.0; MeOD-d3; δ 49.0; DMSO-d6 δ 39.5) as standard. Low resolution mass spectra (MS) and high resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were either obtained as electron impact (EI) mass spectra or as fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra. Electron impact mass spectra (EI-MS) were obtained with a Hewlett Packard 5989A mass spectrometer equipped with a Vacumetrics Desorption Chemical Ionization Probe for sample introduction. The ion source was maintained at 250° C. Electron impact ionization was performed with electron energy of 70 eV and a trap current of 300 μA. Liquid-cesium secondary ion mass spectra (FAB-MS), an updated version of fast atom bombardment were obtained using a Kratos Concept 1-H spectrometer.


Chemical ionization mass spectra (CI-MS) were obtained using a Hewlett Packard MS-Engine (5989A) with methane as the reagent gas (1×10−4 torr to 2.5×10−4 torr). The direct insertion desorption chemical ionization (DCI) probe (Vacuumetrics, Inc.) was ramped from 0-1.5 amps in 10 sec and held at 10 amps until all traces of the sample disappeared (˜1-2 min). Spectra were scanned from 50-800 amu at 2 sec per scan. HPLC electrospray mass spectra (HPLC ES-MS) were obtained using a Hewlett-Packard 1100 HPLC equipped with a quaternary pump, a variable wavelength detector, a C-18 column, and a Finnigan LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization. Spectra were scanned from 120-800 amu using a variable ion time according to the number of ions in the source.


Gas chromatography-ion selective mass spectra (GC-MS) were obtained with a Hewlett Packard 5890 gas chromatograph equipped with an HP-1 methyl silicone column (0.33 mM coating; 25 m×0.2 mm) and a Hewlett Packard 5971 Mass Selective Detector (ionization energy 70 eV).


Elemental analyses were conducted by Robertson Microlit Labs, Madison N.J. All compounds displayed NMR spectra, LRMS and either elemental analysis or HRMS consistent with assigned structures.

Step 1: 4-Chloro-N-methyl-2-pyridinecarboxamide is first synthesized from 4-chloropyridine-2-carbonyl chloride by adding 4-chloropyridine-2-carbonyl chloride HCl salt (7.0 g, 32.95 mmol) in portions to a mixture of a 2.0 M methylamine solution in THF (100 mL) and MeOH (20 mL) at 0° C. The resulting mixture is stored at 3° C. for 4 h, then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting nearly dry solids are suspended in EtOAc (100 mL) and filtered. The filtrate is washed with a saturated NaCl solution (2×100 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 4-chloro-N-methyl-2-pyridinecarboxamide as a yellow, crystalline solid.


Step 2: A solution of 4-aminophenol (9.60 g, 88.0 mmol) in anh. DMF (150 mL) is treated with potassium tert-butoxide (10.29 g, 91.7 mmol), and the reddish-brown mixture is stirred at room temp. for 2 h. The contents are treated with 4-chloro-N-methyl-2-pyridinecarboxamide (15.0 g, 87.9 mmol) from Step 1 and K2CO3 (6.50 g, 47.0 mmol) and then heated at 80° C. for 8 h. The mixture is cooled to room temp. and separated between EtOAc (500 mL) and a saturated NaCl solution (500 mL). The aqueous phase is back-extracted with EtOAc (300 mL).

Biological Examples
KDR (VEGFR2) Assay

The cytosolic kinase domain of KDR kinase was expressed as a 6His fusion protein in 519 insect cells. The KDR kinase domain fusion protein was purified over a Ni++ chelating column. Ninety-six well ELISA plates Were coated with 5 μl HEPES buffer (20 mM poly(Glu4;Tyr1). (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.) in 100 μk HEPES buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.02% Thimerosal) at 4° overnight. Before use, the plate was washed with HEPES, NaCl buffer and the plates were blocked with 1% BSA, 0.1% Tween 20 in HEPES, NaCl buffer.


Test compounds were serially diluted in 100% DMSO form 4 mM to 0.12 μM in half-log dilutions. These dilutions were further diluted twenty fold in H2O to obtain compound solutions in 5% DMSO. Following loading of the assay plate with 85 μl of assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 3 mM MnCl2, 0.05% glycerol, 0.005% Triton X-100, 1 mM-mercaptoethanol, with or without 3.3 μM ATP), 5 μl of the diluted compounds were added to a final assay volume of 100 μl. Final concentrations were between 10 μM, and 0.3 mM in 0.25% DMSO. The assay was initiated by the addition of 10 μl (30 ng) of KDR kinase domain.


The assay was incubated with test compound or vehicle alone with gentle agitation at room temperature for 60 minutes. The wells were washed and phosphotyrosines (PY) were probed with an anti-phosphotyrosine (PY), in Ab clone 4G10 (Upstate Biotechnology, Lake Placid, N.Y.). PY/anti-PY complexes were detected with an anti-mouse IgG/HRP conjugate lamersham International plc, Buckinghamshire, England). Phosphotyrosine was quantitated by incubating with 100 μl 3,3′,5,5′ tetramethylbenzidine solution (Kirkegaard and Perry, TMB Microwell 1 Component peroxidase substrate). Color development was arrested by the addition of 100 μl 1% HCl-based stop solution (Kirkegaard and Perry, TMB 1 Component Stop Solution).


Optical densities were determined spectrophotometrically at 450 nm in a 96-well plate reader, SpectraMax 250 (Molecular Devices). Background (no ATP in assay) OD values were subtracted from all Ods and the percent inhibition was calculated according to the equation:

The IC50 values were deter wined with a least squares analysis program using compound concentration versus percent inhibition.


The following compounds were tested in the assay described above and were found to have either an IC50 of less than 10 micromolar or showed greater than 30% inhibition at 1 micromolar. Compound names were generated using Nomenclator™ v 3.0 and may differ from those in the patent applications.

Cell Mechanistic Assay-Inhibition of 3T3 KDR Phosphorylation:


NIH3T3 cells expressing the full length KDR receptor are grown in DMEM (Life Technologies, Inc., Grand Island, N.Y.) supplemented with 10% newborn calf serum, low glucose, 25 mM/L sodium pyruvate, pyridoxine hydrochloride and 0.2 mg/ml of G418 (Life Technologies Inc., Grand Island, N.Y.). The cells are maintained in collagen I-coated T75 flasks (Becton Dickinson Labware, Bedford, Mass.) in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37° C.


Fifteen thousand cells are plated into each well of a collagen I-coated 96-well plate in the DMEM growth medium. Six hours later, the cells are washed and the medium is replaced with DMEM without serum. After overnight culture to quiesce the cells, the medium is replaced by Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (Life Technologies Inc., Grand Island, N.Y.) with 0.1% bovine albumin (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.). After adding various concentrations (0-300 nM) of test compounds to the cells in 1% final concentration of DMSO, the cells are incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. Following VEGF stimulation, the buffer is removed and the cells are lysed by addition of 150 μl of extraction buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.8, supplemented with 10% glycerol, 50 mM BGP, 2 mM EDTA, 10 mM NaF, 0.5 mM NaVO4, and 0.3% TX-100) at 4° C. for 30 minutes.


To assess receptor phosphorylation, 100 microliters of each cell lysate are added to the wells of an ELISA plate precoated with 300 ng of antibody C20 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, Calif.). Following a 60-minute incubation, the plate is washed and bound KDR is probed for phosphotyrosine using an anti-phosphotyrosine mAb clone 4G10 (Upstate Biotechnology, Lake Placid, N.Y.). The plate is washed and wells are incubated with anti-mouse IgG/HRP conjugate (Amersham International plc, Buckinghamshire, England) for 60 minutes. Wells are washed and phosphotyrosine is quantitated by addition of 100 μl per well of 3,3′5,5′ tetramethylbenzidine (Kirkegaard and Perry, TMB 1 Component Stop Solution).


Optical densities (OD) are determined spectrophotometrically at 450 mm in a 96-well plate reader (SpectraMax 250, Molecular Devices). Background (no VEGF added) OD values are subtracted from all Ods and percent inhibition is calculated according to the equation:

Matrigel® Angiogenesis Model:


Preparation of Martigel Plugs and in vivo Phase: Matrigel® (Collaborative Biomedical Products, Bedford, Mass.) is a basement membrane extract from a murine tumor composed primarily of laminin, collagen IV and heparan sulfate proteoglycan. It is provided as a sterile liquid at 4° C., but rapidly fowls a solid gel at 37° C.


Liquid Matrigel at 4° C. is mixed with SK-MEL2 human tumor cells that are transfected with a plasmid containing the murine VEGF gene with a selectable marker. Tumor cells are grown in vitro under selection and cells are mixed with cold liquid Matrigel at a ratio of 2×106 per 0.5 ml. One half milliliter is implanted subcutaneously near the abdominal midline using a 25 gauge needle. Test compounds are dosed as solutions in Ethanol/Ceremaphor EL/saline (12.5%:12.5%:75%) at 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg po once daily starting on the day of implantation. Mice are euthanized 12 days post-implantation and the Matrigel pellets are harvested for analysis of hemoglobin content.


Hemoglobin Assay: The Matrigel pellets are placed in 4 volumes (w/v) of 4° C. Lysis Buffer (20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100 [EM Science, Gibbstown, N.J.], and complete EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail [Mannheim, Germany]), and homogenized at 4° C. homogenates are incubated on ice for 30 minutes with shaking and centrifuged at 14K×g for 30 minutes at 4° C. Supernatants are transferred to chilled microfuge tubes and stored at 4° C. for hemoglobin assay.


Mouse hemoglobin (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.) is suspended in autoclaved water (BioWhittaker, Inc, Walkersville, Md.) at 5 mg/ml. A standard curve is generated from 500 micrograms/ml to 30 micrograms/ml in Lysis Buffer (see above). Standard curve and lysate samples are added at 5 microliters/well in duplicate to a polystyrene 96-well plate. Using the Sigma Plasma Hemoglobin Kit (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.), TMB substrate is reconstituted in 50 mls room temperature acetic acid solution. One hundred microliters of substrate is added to each well, followed by 100 microliters/well of Hydrogen Peroxide Solution at room temperature. The plate is incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes.


Optical densities are determined spectrophotometrically at 600 nm in a 96-well plate reader, SpectraMax 250 Microplate Spectrophotometer System (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Background Lysis Buffer readings are subtracted from all wells.


Total sample hemoglobin content is calculated according to the following equation:

Total Hemoglobin=(Sample Lysate Volume)×(Hemoglobin Concentration)


The average Total Hemoglobin of Matrigel samples without cells is subtracted from each Total Hemoglobin Matrigel sample with cells. Percent inhibition is calculated according to the following equation:
