Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure generally relates to the compounds that exhibits protein kinase inhibitory activity. Specifically, the present disclosure provides compounds of Formula (IA) that exhibits dual inhibitory activity against ALK5 and P38α MAP kinase. The present disclosure also provides process(es) for preparation of such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing one or a combination of these compounds, and methods of treatment of conditions associated with excessive activity of any or a combination of transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) utilizing these compounds.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.


TGFβ belongs to a superfamily of multifunctional proteins that include, for example, TGFβ1, TGFβ2, and TGFβ3, which are pleiotropic modulators of cell growth and differentiation, embryonic and bone development, extracellular matrix formation, hematopoiesis, and immune and inflammatory responses. For instance, TGFβ1 inhibits the growth of many cell types, including epithelial cells, but stimulates the proliferation of various types of mesenchymal cells. Other members of this superfamily include activin, inhibin, bone morphogenic protein, and Mullerian inhibiting substance. The members of the TGFβ family initiate intracellular signaling pathways leading ultimately to the expression of genes that regulate the cell cycle, control proliferative responses, or relate to extracellular matrix proteins that mediate outside-in cell signaling, cell adhesion, migration and intercellular communication.


Therefore, inhibitors of the TGFβ intracellular signaling pathway are recognized as being useful primarily for the treatment of fibroproliferative diseases. Fibroproliferative diseases include kidney disorders associated with unregulated TGFβ activity and excessive fibrosis including glomerulonephritis (GN), such as mesangial proliferative GN, immune GN, and crescentic GN. Other renal conditions include diabetic nephropathy, renal interstitial fibrosis, renal fibrosis in transplant patients receiving cyclosporine, and HIV-associated nephropathy. Collagen vascular disorders include progressive systemic sclerosis, polymyositis, scleroderma, dermatomyositis, eosinophilic fasciitis, morphea, or those associated with the occurrence of Raynaud's syndrome. Lung fibroses resulting from excessive TGFβ activity include adult respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and interstitial pulmonary fibrosis often associated with autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and scleroderma, chemical contact, or allergies. Another autoimmune disorder associated with fibroproliferative characteristics is rheumatoid arthritis. Fibroproliferative conditions can be associated with surgical eye procedures. Such procedures include retinal reattachment surgery accompanying proliferative vitreoretinopathy, cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation, and post glaucoma drainage surgery.


Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), a family of cytokines regulates a plethora of cellular processes, including growth control, differentiation, extracellular matrix production, migration, survival, apoptosis and immune suppression. This in part due to their ability to exert direct control over multiple signaling networks in addition to the control of the canonical SMAD-dependent signaling pathway. Some of the SMAD-independent pathways which are influenced by TGF-β ligands include the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways and the RhoA-dependent signaling pathways. Among the MAPK pathway, the activation of P38 MAPK by TGF-β ligands has been well characterized. p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) pathway has been shown to contribute in TGF-β-mediated EMT and tumor cell migration. It has also been shown that co-administration of a P38α inhibitor and an ALK5 inhibitor modulated the development of fibrosis in Adriyamicin induced renal fibrosis model via the reduction in active TGF-1 production, reduced myofibroblast accumulation, and decreased expression of collagen type IV and fibronectin. Even though 4 isoforms of P38 MAPK are known, most stimuli result in the activation of P38α by the MAP kinase kinases (MKKs).


The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and transforming growth factor TGFβ1/Smad signaling pathway are thus important intracellular signaling pathways involved in many human diseases such as inflammation and cancer. The synergistic value of inhibiting these two pathways has been explored using combination of ALK5 and p38 inhibitors.


In view of above, efficacious dual inhibitors of ALK5 and P38α kinases are needed as potentially valuable therapeutic agents. It is thus desirable to develop new chemical entities which can act as dual ALK5/P38α kinases inhibitors so that more appropriate pharmaceuticals can be selected with fewer side effects.

In Vitro ALK-5 and P38α Inhibitory Activity


ALK5 Kinase Assay for IC50 Determination:


IC50 values of compounds against TGFβ kinase was determined by LanthaScreen™ Terbium Labeled TR-FRET assay. Kinase assays were performed in IX kinase buffer (# PV6135, Invitrogen, Life Technologies Grand Island, N.Y.) where total reaction volume was 10 μL in low-volume 384-well plates (#4511,Corning). Serially diluted compounds (3-fold) were incubated with TGFβ kinase (6 nM) for 10 min, following which a mixture of ATP (10 μM) (# A1852, Sigma, St-Louis, Mo.) and fluorescent-PolyGT substrate (200 nM) (# PV3610, Invitrogen, Life Technologies Grand Island, N.Y.) was added and incubated in dark at room temperature for 1 h. After 1 h, 10 μL stop solution containing Terbium labeled antibody (4 nM) (# PV3529, Invitrogen, Life Technologies Grand Island, N.Y.) and EDTA (# E5134, Sigma, St-Louis, Mo.) (20 mM) in TR-FRET dilution buffer (# PV3574, Invitrogen, Life Technologies Grand Island, N.Y.) was added. Readings were taken in a Synergy Neo Plate reader (BioTek, Winooski) at single excitation of 340 nm and Dual emission at 495 nm and 520 nm respectively.


The % activity of test samples was calculated as (Sample−Min)×100/(Max−Min). [Max: DMSO control, complete reaction with enzyme with DMSO and Min: No enzyme with DMSO]. Percent inhibition (100-% activity) was fitted to the “four-parameter logistic model” in XLfit for determination of IC50 values.


MAPK14/p38α Kinase Assay for IC50 Determination:


IC50 values of compounds against MAPK14/P38α kinase were determined by Lanthascreen based TR-FRET assay. Kinase reactions were performed in a 10 μL volume in low-volume 384-well plates. The concentration of substrate was maintained at 400 nM in the assay, and the kinase reaction buffer (1×; Cat # PV3189, ThermoFisher) consisted of 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRIJ-35, 10 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM EGTA. Serially diluted compounds (3-fold) in DMSO (0.5% in final reaction) were incubated with cocktail of MAPK14/p38α kinase (20 ng/ml; Cat # PV3304, ThermoFisher), Substrate GFP-ATF2 (19-96), (0.4 μM; Cat # PV4445, ThermoFisher), ATP (90 μM; Cat # PV3227, ThermoFisher) and buffer. Kinase reactions were allowed to proceed for 1 hour at room temperature before EDTA (10 mM; Cat # P2825, ThermoFisher) and LanthaScreen™ Tb-antipATF2 (pThr71) Antibody (2 nM; Cat # PV4451, ThermoFisher) in TR-FRET dilution buffer (IX; Cat # PV3574, ThermoFisher) were added. The plate was allowed to incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes before being read on a BMG Pherastar plate reader using the LanthaScreen™ filter block for LanthaScreen™ TR-FRET.


The resulting TR-FRET emission ratio was plotted against the concentration of inhibitor, and the data was fit to a sigmoidal dose-response curve with a variable slope. The IC50 for the inhibitor was calculated from the curve.

Cell Viability Assay in MIA PaCa-2 and Panc-1


MIA PaCa-2 (ATCC® CRL-1420™) and Panc-1 (CRL-1469™), both pancreatic cell lines were seeded in their respective medium (DMEM, Cat #10569044 with 10% FBS, Cat #16000044; Gibco for Panc-1 and an additional 2.5% Horse Serum, Cat #16050122; Gibco for MIA PaCa-2) at a cell count of 3000 cells per 100 μl per well in a 96 well edge plate (167425; ThermoFisher). Cells were allowed to grow at 37° C. for 24 hr in 5% CO2 (culture conditions) in a Nuaire incubator (humidified). Serially diluted compounds (100 μl) were added to the culture plate 24 hr later and the cultures (MIA PaCa-2 and Panc-1) were further incubated in culture conditions for 96 hr. Experiment was terminated at the completion of 96 hr exposure to the drug by replacing the medium with 100 μl of 1 mM of resazurin (R7017; Sigma) prepared in culture medium and the plates were further incubated in culture conditions for 4 hr. Fluorescence was then measured using a multimodal plate reader (Biotek Synergy Neo) at an excitation wavelength of 535 nm and emission wavelength of 590 nm to obtain relative fluorescence units. Data analysis was done by subtracting the background fluorescence (only medium blank) value from each reading and then normalizing with the vehicle control (DMSO treated cells) to obtain percent survival/proliferation. Percent survival at different doses was used to calculate IC50 by fitting the curve to the “four-parameter variable slope logistic model” using Prism Graph Pad.
