FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The invention relates to diaminopyrroloquinazolines compounds useful for inhibiting protein tyrosine phosphatases, particularly PTP1B, and are useful for lowering blood glucose concentrations in mammals.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) are key enzymes in processes that regulate cell growth and differentiation. The inhibition of these enzymes can play a role in the modulation of multiple signaling pathways in which tyrosine phosphorylation dephosphorylation plays a role. PTP1B is a particular protein tyrosine phosphatases that is often used as a prototypical member of that class of enzymes.

[0004] PTPase inhibitors are recognized as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of diabetes. See, e.g. Moeller et al., 3(5):527-40, Current Opinion in Drug Discovery and Development, 2000; or Zhang, Zhong-Yin, 5:416-23, Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2001. The utility of PTPase inhibitors as therapeutic agents has been a topic of discussion in several review articles including, for example, Expert Opin Investig Drugs, 12(2):223-33, Feb. 2003.

[0112] Compound II: A mixture of silver sulfate (100 g, 0.32 mol) and iodine (82 g, 0.32 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (700 mL) and ethanol (1400 mL) was treated with 5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole I (48 g, 0.29 mol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 1.5 h, filtered and the filter pad washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to a volume of approximately 500 mL. This solution was treated with a 1.0N aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution (100 mL) and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (400 mL). The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and petroleum ether, and dried in vacuo to afford 7-iodo-5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole II (83.9 g, 98.9%) as a white solid: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 8.18 (d, J=2.20 Hz, 1H), 7.80 (d, J=1.46 Hz, 1H), 7.03 (broad s, 1H), 3.65 (t, J=8.97 Hz, 2H), 3.17 (t, J=8.60 Hz, 2H).

[0113] Compound III: A solution of 7-iodo-5-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole II (15 g, 51.7 mmol) in ethanol (1200 mL) and isopropanol (20 mL) at 25° C. was treated with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (13.6 g, 59.9 mmol). The resulting solution was warmed to 65° C. and air was bubbled through for 1 h. An additional 0.57 equivalents of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (6.8 g, 29.9 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 65° C. for another 2 h before being concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 90/10 toluene/ethyl acetate) afforded 7-iodo-5-nitro-1H-indole III (13.07 g, 79%) as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 11.82 (broad s, 1H), 8.59 (d, J=1.83 Hz, 1H), 8.30 (d, J=1.83 Hz, 1H), 7.61 (t, J=2.93 Hz, 1H), 6.90 (dd, J1=1.83 Hz, J2=3.30 Hz, 1H).

[0114] Compound IV: A solution of 7-iodo-5-nitro-1H-indole III (20 g, 69.4 mmol) in methanol (650 mL) at 25° C. was treated with a solution of ammonium chloride (26.1 g, 485.8 mmol) in water (550 mL) and iron powder (13.6 g, 242.9 mmol). The mixture was heated to 100° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for 5 h. The resulting mixture was filtered through a pad of celite and the celite pad washed with hot methanol. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between methylene chloride and water and separated. The pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to pH=10 with ammonium hydroxide and extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to a volume of 250 mL. This solution was treated with a 4.0M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution in dioxane and stirred at 25° C. for 2 h. The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with methylene chloride and petroleum ether to afford 7-iodo-1H-indol-5-ylamine hydrochloride IV (24.7 g, quant.) as a gray solid: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 11.34 (broad s, 1H), 9.93 (broad s, 2H), 7.56 (d, J=1.46 Hz, 1H), 7.48 (t, J=2.74 Hz, 1H), 7.44 (d, J=1.83 Hz, 1H), 6.68 (dd, J1=1.83 Hz, J2=2.93 Hz, 1H).

The reaction mixture was warmed to 50° C. for 2 h, concentrated in vacuo, and the residue treated with water (500 mL). The resulting mixture was allowed to stand at 25° C. for 2.5 h during which time a yellow precipitate formed. The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water to afford N″-cyano-N-(7-iodo-1H-indol-5-yl)guanidine V (22.59 g, 83%) as a light yellow solid: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 11.02 (broad s, 1H), 8.89 (broad s, 1H), 7.46 (d, J=1.83 Hz, 1H), 7.37 (d, J=1.83 Hz, 1H), 7.35 (t, J=2.56 Hz, 1H), 6.85 (broad S, 2H), 6.56 (dd, J1=1.83 Hz, J2=3.10 Hz, 1H).

[0116] Compound VI: A solution of N″-cyano—N-(7-iodo-1H-indol-5-yl)guanidine V (6.0 g, 18.7 mmol) in 2-methoxyethyl ether (50 mL) was heated to 175° C. for 32.5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 25° C., the resulting solids removed by filtration and washed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give a brown oil. The residue was dissolved in methanol and then absorbed onto Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh (25 g). Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 230-400 mesh, 90/10/1 methylene chloride/methanol/ammonium hydroxide) afforded 6-iodo-7H-pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinazoline-1,3-diamine VI (3.61 g, 59%) as a brown solid: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 11.36 (broad s, 1H), 7.45 (broad s, 1H), 7.43 (t, J=2.93 Hz, 1H), 7.20 (s, 1H), 6.74 (broad s, 2H), 5.78 (broad s, 2H).

[0117] Compound VII: The coupling reaction can be carried out by a conventional aryl coupling method, e.g., Suzuki coupling method: (a) Suzuki et al., synth.commun. 1981, 11, 513, (b) Suzuki pure and Appl. Chem. 1985, 57, 1749-1758, (c) Suzuki et al., Chem. Rev. 1995, 95,2457-2483, (d) Shieh et al., J. Org. Chem. 1992,57,379-381, (e) Martin et al., Acta Chemica Scandinavica. 1993, 47, 513.

[0118] Typical conditions used to carry out the Suzuki coupling of 6-iodo-7H-pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinazoline-1,3-diamine VI includes the use of either aryl or heteroaromatic boronic acid or esters (e.g., where Ar is defined as aryl) as coupling partner, in aqueous base such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate or barium hydroxide or triethylamine solution, a palladium catalyst (2-20 mole %) such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (o) or [1,1′bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene]dichloro-palladium(II), in a suitable solvent such as aqueous ethanol or THF or DMF or ethylene glycol for at temperatures ranging from 25° C. to 125° C. for 2-18 hr yields compound VII.

[0120] Typical conditions used to carry out the Stille reaction include the use of an organostannane as the coupling partner, palladium catalyst (2-20 mole %) such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (o) or [1,1′bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene]dichloro-palladium(II), a salt such as potassium fluoride or lithium chloride, in a suitable anhydrous solvent such as THF or DMF or ethylene glycol for at temperatures ranging from 25° C. to 125° C. for 2-18 hr yields compound VII.

The product was taken on into the next reaction without further purification 6-iodo-7-methyl-7H-pyrrolo[3,2-f]quinazoline-1,3-diamine VIII.

The mixture was heated to 100° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for 6 h. The reaction mixture was filtered hot through a pad of celite and washed with hot methanol. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue partitioned between methylene chloride and water. The layers were separated and the pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to pH=10 with ammonium hydroxide. The aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride and the combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to a volume of 50 mL. The resulting solution was treated with a 4.0M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution in dioxane and then stirred at 25° C. for 1 h.

[0371] In vitro Inhibition of PTP1B

[0372] Enzymes

[0373] Human PTP1B (1-321) was cloned from a human cDNA library using conventional molecular biology techniques. The cDNA sequence was identical to the published human PTP1B sequence (Accession number M33689). The protein was expressed and purified from E. coli as described by Barford D. et.al, J. Mol Biol (1994) 239,726-730).

Example 116

[0374] PTPase Assays

[0375] The measurement of PTPase activity was carried out using one of two methods:

[0376] The first method for the measurement of PTP1B inhibitory activity a tyrosine phosphorylated peptide based on the amino acid sequence of insulin receptor tyrosine autophosphorylation site 1146 (TRDI(pY)E) was used as substrate. The reaction conditions were as follows:

[0377] PTP1B (O.5-2nM ) was incubated with compound for 15 min in buffer containing 37.5 mM Bis-Tris buffer pH 6.2, 140 mMNaCl, 0.05% BSA and 2 mM DTT. The reaction was started by the addition of 50 μM substrate. After 20 min at room temperature (22-25° C.) the reaction was stopped with KOH and the amount of free phosphate measured using Malachite Green as previously described. (Harder et al. 1994 Biochem J. 298; 395).

[0378] The second method was used for the measurement of general PTPase inhibitory activity across a panel of PTPases the substrate (6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (DiFMUP; from Molecular Probes) was used at the Km for each enzyme. The buffer conditions were identical as in the Malachite Green assay. The reaction was stopped with KOH. In this case the dephosphoryated product becomes fluorescent and the fluorescence read. (Excitiation:360 mM/Emmission: 460 nM).

[0379] For kinetic experiments the same buffer conditions were used except that the reaction was started using enzyme and the reaction stopped after 10 minutes.

[0380] The IC50 values (in μM) for the PTP1B inhibitory activity of the compounds in range of 5.20 μM to 96.3 μM. The most preferred compounds show an IC50 of <30.0 μM.

[0382] Glucose Uptake Assay

[0383] the day before the assay the SKMC media was changed to high glucose DMEM, 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.0 and 2% Charcoal/dextran treated FBS for 19 hours.

[0384] On the morning of the assay, cells were starved for max. 2 hours in low glucose (5.5 mM glucose) DMEM 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.0 and 0.5% BSA. The starvation medium was removed and replaced with test medium (150 mMNaCl, 25mM Hepes, pH 7.0) containing either 1% DMSO, or test compound diluted in DMSO or Porcine Insulin to a final concentrations of 1, 0.1, 0.05, 0.01 and 0.01 μM. Each assay point was performed in triplicate. The cells were incubated for 45 min at 37° C. 10 μM Cytochalasin B (CB) was added to appropriate wells to stop the active glucose transport (i.e. GLUT 1 & 4). At this point 2-Deoxy-D(U-14C) glucose (Amersham, Code CFB195, 200 uCi/ml) was added to all wells to a final concentration of 0.8 μCi/ml. The cells were incubated for an additional 45 minutes at 37° C. in an incubator. Cells were then very gently washed for three times in PBS (RT). The cells were then lysed with the addition of 0.05% NaOH solution for 20 min at RT. The lysate was transferred to a scintillation vial containing 5 ml of scintillation fluid and counted in a Beckman LS6500 Scintillation counter. Analysis of results: The counts obtained with CB (passive glucose transport values) were subtracted from every value obtained with PI (or compounds) in order to evaluate only active glucose transport. Fold increase was calculated by dividing values in the presence of PI (or compounds) by the value obtained in the presence of DMSO (control). Compounds were considered to be active when they increase glucose uptake at least 25% of the Porcine Insulin response at 0.05 μM.

[0385] In vivo Inhibition of PTP1B: Effects of Compounds on Blood Glucose Levels in Mouse Model

[0386] To measure the anti-diabetic effect compounds were tested in well established rodent in vivo models of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

[0387] Diet Induced Obese C57BL6/J Mice (DIO Mice)

[0388] Mice that have type 2 diabetes were be generated by maintaining them on a high fat diet for a 4-6 months (Diabetes vol. 37 Sept 1988). Male C57B16/J mice (age 3-4 weeks) were placed on high fat diet for 4-6 months. At this time, they were hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic and weighed 40-50 g. DIO mice (n=10) were weighed and fasted for a two hour period prior to oral treatment. Immediately prior to dosing a pre-dose blood glucose reading was taken by snipping off a portion of the tail and collecting blood from the tail vein. Mice were treated either with a single dose of compound (acute) or once a day for 5 days (sub-chronic). For the acute studies glucose was generally measured at 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h post treatment. Compounds were considered active if they showed a statistically significant (p≦0,05) glucose lowering (>15%) compared to the vehicle treated animals.

[0389] For sub-chronic (5 day) studies mice were dosed once a day by gavage as described above. On day five, glucose was measured prior to dosing (o time) and 2 hours after dosing. Insulin and triglycerides were measured at 2 hour post dose. Compounds were considered active if they showed a statistically significant (p≦0,05) glucose, insulin and triglyceride lowering compared to the vehicle treated animals.
