More specifically, it relates to the method of inhibiting abnormal cell proliferation in a patient suffering from a disorder characterized by such proliferation comprising the administration thereto of an EGF and/or PDGF receptor inhibiting effective amount of said bis mono- and/or bicyclic aryl and/or heteroaryl compound and to the preparation of said compounds and their use in pharmaceutical compositions used in this method.
Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the modulation and/or inhibition of cell signaling, cell proliferation, cell inflammatory response, the control of abnormal cell growth and cell reproduction. More specifically, this invention relates to the use of bis mono- and/or bicyclic aryl and/or heteroaryl compounds in inhibiting cell proliferation, including compounds which are useful protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors.
Normal cellular reproduction 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). Such growth factor receptors are imbedded in and penetrate through the cellular membrane. The inhibition 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 phosphorylation enzymes include tyrosine kinases, which catalyze phosphorylation of tyrosine amino acid residues of substrate proteins.
Many disease states that characterized by the uncontrolled reproduction of cells. These disease states involve a variety of cell types and include disorders such as leukemia, cancer, psoriasis, inflammatory disease, bone diseases, atherosclerosis and restenosis occuring subsequent to angioplastic procedures. This inhibition of tyrosine kinase is believed to have utility in the control of uncontrolled cellular reproduction, i.e., cellular proliferative disorders.
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 mitogenesis and cell proliferation. Autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor and phosphorylation of substrate proteins by other receptors are the earliest identifiable biochemical hormonal responses.
Elimination of the protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity of the insulin receptor and of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor by site-directed mutagenesis of the cellular genetic material which is responsible for generation of insulin and EGF results in the complete elimination of the receptor's biological activity. This is not particularly desirable because insulin is needed by the body to perform other biological functions which are not related to cell proliferation. Accordingly, compounds which inhibit the PTK portion of the EGF and/or PDGF receptor at concentrations less than the concentrations needed to inhibit the PTK portion of the insulin receptor could provide valuable agents for selective treatment of cell proliferation disorders.
REPORTED DEVELOPMENTS
It has been reported that the most potent inhibitors of EGF receptors Inhibit EGF-induced proliferation of A431/clone 15 cells with little or no effect on the proliferation of such cells when induced by other growth factors. It has been reported also that erbstatin inhibits the autophosphorylation of the EGF receptor in membranes of A431 cells. Higher concentrations of erbstatin are required to inhibit cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase.

Compounds within the scope of this invention inhibit the growth factor induced autophosphorylation of PDGF and/or EGF receptors. It is believed that therapeutically useful PTK inhibiting compounds should not have appreciable activity as inhibitors of serine or threonine kinase systems. In addition these compounds should inhibit growth factor-induced cell proliferation. Compounds meeting these criteria are of considerable value and are particularly useful in the practice of the present invention. Compounds exhibiting selectivity for either of the above receptors are described herein.
The most preferred compounds are described where R is hydroxy, methoxy, ethoxy, chloro, bromo, fluoro or trifluoromethyl.
It is intended that the N-oxides of the above-described N-heteroaryl rings are encompassed within the scope of this invention.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The compounds of this invention may be prepared by employing procedures known in the literature starting from known compounds or readily preparable intermediates. Exemplary general procedures follow.
In general the compounds useful for the method of inhibiting cell proliferation may be prepared by the coupling reaction of a palladium catalyzed aryl or heteroaryistannane with an aryl or heteroarylhalide or triflate. ##STR5## where X is halogen or triflate and Y is trialkylstannane and R and n are as previously described.
Preparation of aryl or heteroaryl substituted quinolines may be prepared as follows. ##STR6##
The triflate may be prepared from the corresponding alcohol with triflic anhydride (trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride) in pyridine ##STR7##
Other triflates suitable for coupling with the aryl and heteroarylstannanes may be prepared in a similar manner. ##STR8##
Triflates may also be prepared from 2(1 H) or 4(1 H) quinolones as shown by the following. ##STR9##
The triflimide such as used in the above reaction may also be used to prepare compounds having a particular substitution such as the following compound. ##STR10##
The aryl and heteroarylstannanes may be prepared from the corresponding halide (preferably bromide or iodide) by conversion to the aryllithium (by reaction with t-butyl-lithium at decreased temperatures, preferably about -78.degree. C. followed by reaction with a halotrialkylstannane. The following reaction schemes give a representative list of stannanes prepared and the reaction conditions involved. ##STR11##
Further methods which may be employed in the preparation of stannanes of this invention include the following.
(1.) by the action of trimethyltin sodium on aryl halides as described in Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1982, 30, 1731-1737: ##STR12## (2.) by heteroatom directed aromatic lithiation process: ##STR13## (3.) by halogen-lithium exchange: ##STR14##
The following are representative coupling reactions which show the preparation of compounds used for the inhibition of cell proliferation ##STR15##
Of course various methods may be employed depending on the reactants involved. Thus, for example, in order to prepare ##STR16## the following methods may be used: ##STR17##
When it is desired that the final product include a 2-(1H) pyridone or 4-(1H) pyridone ring then it is convenient to carry out the condensation on the 2- or 4-alkoxy pyridine followed by selective dealkylation. This can be seen by the following representative scheme. ##STR18##
More specifically preparation of aryl or heteroaryl substituted 2(1H)-pyridones may be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,715,358; 3,718,743; 4,465,686 and 4,599,423. Substituted phenyl pyridine preparation may be found in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 111, 877-891 (1989).
Thus it will be a matter of condensing two rings as shown above under the methods described and/or in the art in order to obtain the compounds useful in the practice of inhibition of cell proliferation of this invention. The following representative compounds are prepared as shown below:
5-(2,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)-2(1H)-pyridone,
5-(1,4-dihydroxynaphth-2-yl)-2(1H)-pyridone,
5-(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-2(1H)-pyridone,
5-(2,5-dihydroxy-4-t-butylphenyl)-2(1H)-pyridone,
3-(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-4(1H)-pyridone,

To this is added the tetrafluoroborate salt of chlorobenzene manganese tricarbonyl complex (prepared by J.O.C. 24: 1991;7092) (183 mg) and stirred for 3 hours. To this is added 20 ml of acetonitrile and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture is dissolved in EtOAc: brine and extracted 2.times. with EtOAc, washed with water 2.times., washed with brine, dried (MgSO.sub.4) and concentrated in vacuo to obtain a material which is purified by FPLC using 1% methanol: chloroform to obtain a solid which NMR indicates to be 3-phenoxy-6.7-dimethoxyquinoline. The hydrochloride salt is then prepared in the usual manner m.p. 224-226).
EXAMPLE 36
(6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-4-yl)-alpha-naphthalenylamine
To a 25 mL flask with 10 ml of abs. EtOH is added 0.137 g of 4-chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline and 0.087 g of 1-aminonaphthalene. The solution is heated to reflux whereupon the insoluble materials dissolve. After 5 minutes at reflux a precipatate forms. The solution is allowed to stir an additional 10 min before cooling and isolation of the product as the hydrochloride salt by simple filtration. High-vacuum drying of the solid provided analytically pure (6,7-dimethoxy-quinazolin-4-yl)-alpha-naphthalenylamine (0.142 g, white powder, m.p. 271.degree.-273.degree. C.
EXAMPLE 37
4-(m-chlorophenoxy)-6.7-dimethoxyquinazoline
THF (5 ml) and Nail (60% disp in oil, approx. 28 mg) is added to a dry flask maintained under inert atmosphere at room temperature. m-Chlorophenol (0.09 g) is added as a soln. in THP (1 mL) and stirring is continued until the solution became clear. 4-Chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline is added all at once (as the solid) and stirring was maintained overnight at RT. The solution is partitioned between CH.sub.2 CL.sub.2 and 5% NaOH. The organic layer is washed with, brine, dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and concentrated. Flash column chromatography (40% EtOAc/Hex) provided the pure compound. An analytical sample is obtained by recrystallization from EtOAc/Hex to provide 4-m-chlorophenoxy)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (0.05 g, white needles, m.p. 152.degree.-153.degree. C.

EGF-Receptor Purification
EGF-receptor purification is based on the procedure of Yarden and Schlessinger. A431 cells are grown in 80 cm.sup.2 bottles to confluency (2.times.10.sup.7 cells per bottle). The cells are washed twice with PBS and harvested with PBS containing 11.0 mmol EDTA (1 hour at 37.degree. C., and centrifuged at 600g for 10 minutes. The cells arc solubilized in 1 ml per 2.times.10.sup.7 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 .mu.g/ml aprotinin, 25 mmol benzamidine, 5 .mu.g/ml leupeptic, and 10 .mu.g/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor) for 20 minutes at 4.degree. C. After centrifugation at 100,000 g for 30 minutes, the supernatant is loaded onto a WGA-agarose column (100 .mu.l of packed resin per 2.times.10.sup.7 cells) and shaken for 2 hours at 4.degree. 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 1M 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 0.5M N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (200 .mu.l per 2.times.10.sup.7 cells.). The eluted material is stored in aliquots at -70.degree. 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).
ATP and EGF Dependence of Autophosphorylation
WGA-purified EGF receptor from A431 cells (0.5 .mu.g/assay is activated with EGF (0.85 .mu.M) for 20 minutes at 4.degree. C.. The assay is performed at 15.degree. C. and initiated by addition of Mg(Ac).sub.2 (60 mmol), Tris-Mes buffer, pH 7.6 (50 mmol), �.sup.32 P!ATP (carrier free, 5 .mu.Ci/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 .mu.(M. With use of the 10-sec assay protocol, the EGF concentration dependence of EGF-RK autophosphorylation is determined.
Inhibition of EGF-R Autophosphorylation
A431 cells were grown to confluence on human fibronectin coated tissue culture dishes. After washing 2 times with ice-cold PBS, cells were lysed by the addition of 500 .mu.l/dish of lysis buffer (50 mmol Hepes, pH 7.5,150 mmol NaCl, 1.5 mmol MgCl.sub.2, 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.degree. C. After EGF stimulation (500 .mu.g/ml 10 minutes at 37.degree. C.) immunoprecipitation was performed with anti EGF-R (Ab 108) and the autophosphorylation reaction (50 .mu.l aliquots, 3 .mu.Ci �.gamma.-.sup.32 P!ATP) sample was carried out in the presence of 2 or 10 .mu.M of compound of the present invention, for 2 minutes at 4.degree. C. The reaction was stopped by adding hot electrophoresis sample buffer. SDA-PAGE analysis (7.5% els) was followed by autoradiography and the reaction was quantitated by densitometry scanning of the x-ray films.
In order to test the present compounds for selective inhibition, the procedure is repeated using PDGF stimulation in place of EGF stimulation. "IC.sub.50," as used below refers to the concentration of inhibitor mM) at which the rate of autophosphorylation is halved, compared with media containing no inhibitor.
Inhibition of PDGF-R Autophosphorylation
Lysate from NIH 3T3 cells was diluted one-third in Triton-free buffer and stimulated with 10 ng/ml PDGF for 30 minutes at 4.degree. C. The equivalent of 1/15 of a 175-cm.sup.2 plate of lysate was used per sample. The stimulated lysate was then immunoprecipitated with rabbit polyclonal anti-PDGF-receptor antibodies raised against a synthetic peptide from the COOH-terminal region (amino acids 1094-1106) or the human PDGF-receptor B-subunit and added to increasing concentrations of test compound of the present invention. After 10 minutes at 4.degree. C., 10 .mu.Ci of �.gamma.-.sup.32 P!ATP were added and further incubated for 10 minutes at 4.degree. C. Samples were separated by SDS-PAGE on 6% gels.
Inhibition of Cell Proliferation as Measured by Inhibition Of DNA Synthesis
EGF receptor overexpressing (HER14) cells were seeded at 1.times.10.sup.5 cells per well in 24-well Costar dishes pre-coated with human fibronectin (by incubating for 30 minutes at room temperature with 10 .mu.g/0.5 ml/well). The cells were grown to confluence for 2 days. The medium was changed to DMEM containing 0.5 calf serum for 36-48 hours and the cells were then incubated with EGF (Toyobo, New York, N.Y.) (20 ng/ml), PDGF (Amgen) (20 ng/m 1) or serum (10% calf serum, FCS) and different concentrations of the compound of the present invention. �3H! thymidine, (NEN, Boston, Mass.) was added 16-24 hours later at 0.51 .mu.Ci/ml for 2 hours. TCA precipitable material was quantitated by scintillation counting (C Results of this assay are determined. "IC.sub.50 " of the concentration of inhibitor (nM) at which �.sup.3 H! thymidine incorporation is halved, compared with media containing no buffer is calculated As FCS contains a broad range of growth factors, the IC.sub.50 values for PDGF should be lower than for FCS, indicating that the compounds of the present invention do not act as general inhibitors.
These results indicate that compounds within the scope of the invention inhibit the EGF and/or PDGF growth factor receptors selectively.
Cell Culture
Cells termed HER 14 and K721A (=DK) were 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 was replace by an Ala residue, respectively). All cells were grown in DMEM with 10% calf serum (Hyclone, Logan, Utah).
Further tests which show the effectiveness and selectivity of compounds of this invention to inhibit cell proliferation are as follows.

The results obtained by the above experimental methods evidence the useful 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.
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.
The active compound may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carder, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
