Fused polycyclic 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives

Description

This invention relates to a series of fused polycyclic 2-aminopyrimidines, to processes for their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and to their use in medicine.
Protein kinases participate in the signalling events which control the activation, growth and differentiation of cells in response to extracellular mediators and to changes in the environment. In general, these kinases fall into two groups; those which preferentially phosphorylate serine and/or threonine residues and those which preferentially phosphorylate tyrosine residues [Hanks, S K, Hunter T, FASEB. J. 9, 576-596 (1995)]. The serine/threonine kinases include for example, protein kinase C isoforms [Newton A C, J. Biol. Chem. 270, 28495-28498 (1995)] and a group of cyclin-dependent kinases such as cdc2 [Pines J, Trends in Biochemical Sciences 18, 195-197 (1995)]. The tyrosine kinases include membrane-spanning growth factor receptors such as the epidermal growth factor receptor [Iwashita S and Kobayashi M. Cellular Signalling 4, 123-132 (1992)], and cytosolic non-receptor kinases such as ZAP-70 and csk kinases [Chan C et al Ann. Rev. Immunol. 12, 555-592 (1994)]. A particular group of non-receptor tyrosine kinases are a group known as the src family which includes p56.sup.lck and p59.sup.fyn [Kefelas P et al International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology 27, 551-563 (1995)].
Inappropriately high protein kinase activity has been implicated in many diseases resulting from abnormal cellular function. This might arise either directly or indirectly, for example by failure of the proper control mechanisms for the kinase, related for example to mutation, overexpression or inappropriate activation of the enzyme; or by over- or underproduction of cytokines or growth factors also participating in the transduction of signal upstream or downstream of the kinase. In all of these instances, selective inhibition of the action of the kinase might be expected to have a beneficial effect.
We have now found a series of fused polycyclic 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives which are potent and selective inhibitors of protein kinases, especially src-family protein kinases. The compounds are thus of use in the prophylaxis and treatment of immune diseases, hyperproliferative disorders and other diseases in which inappropriate protein kinase action is believed to have a role.
Thus according to one aspect of the invention, we provide a compound of formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a group --L.sup.1 R.sup.2 where L.sup.1 is a covalent bond or a linker atom or group and R.sup.2 is a group -(Alk).sub.m L.sup.2 R.sup.3 where Alk is an optionally substituted aliphatic or heteroaliphatic chain, m is zero or the integer 1, L.sup.2 is a covalent bond or a linker atom or group and R.sup.3 is an optionally substituted cycloaliphatic or heterocycloaliphatic group provided that when m is zero L.sup.2 is a covalent bond;

Particularly important groups of these types include C.sub.4 heterocycloalkyl groups, particularly optionally substituted pyrrolidinyl, morpholinyl or piperazinyl groups, especially where these are attached to the remainder of the molecule through their nitrogen atoms. Optionally substituted pyrrolidinyl or piperazinyl groups are especially useful.

The tablets may be coated by methods well known in the art. Liquid preparations for oral administration may take the form of, for example, solutions, syrups or suspensions, or they may be presented as a dry product for constitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may be prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents, emulsifying agents, non-aqueous vehicles and preservatives.

The compositions may, if desired, be presented in a pack or dispenser device which may contain one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. The pack or dispensing device may be accompanied by instructions for administration.
The quantity of a compound of the invention required for the prophylaxis or treatment of a particular condition will vary depending on the compound chosen, and the condition of the patient to be treated. In general, however, daily dosages may range from around 100 ng/kg to 100 mg/kg e.g. around 0.01 mg/kg to 40 mg/kg body weight for oral or buccal administration, from around long/kg to 50 mg/kg body weight for parenteral administration and around 0.05 mg to around 1000 mg e.g. around 0.5 mg to around 1000 mg for nasal administration or administration by inhalation or insufflation.
The compounds of the invention may be prepared by a number of processes as generally described below and more specifically in the examples hereinafter. In the following process description, the symbols R.sup.1, Ar, X, Y, Z and A when used in the formulae depicted are to be understood to represent those groups described above in relation to formula (1) unless otherwise indicated. In the reactions described below, it may be necessary to protect reactive functional groups, for example hydroxy, amino, thio or carboxy groups, where these are desired in the final product, to avoid their unwanted participation in the reactions. Conventional protecting groups may be used in accordance with standard practice [see, for example, Green, T. W. in "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", John Wiley and Sons, 1991]. In some instances, deprotection may be the final step in the synthesis of a compound of formula (1) and the processes according to the invention described hereinafter are to be understood to extend to such removal of protecting groups.
Thus according to a further aspect of the invention, a compound of formula (1) may be prepared by reaction of a guanidine of formula (2): ##STR2## or a salt thereof with an enaminone of formula (3): ##STR3## where R.sup.11 and R.sup.12, which may be the same or different is each a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group.
The reaction may be performed in a solvent, for example a protic solvent such as an alcohol, e.g. ethanol, methoxyethanol or propanol, optionally in the presence of a base e.g. an alkali metal base, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium carbonate, at an elevated temperature, e.g. the reflux temperature.
Salts of the compounds of formula (2) include acid salts such as inorganic acid salts e.g. hydrochlorides or nitrates.
Intermediate guanidines of formula (2) may be prepared by reaction of the corresponding amine R.sup.1 ArNH.sub.2 with cyanamide at an elevated temperature. The reaction may be performed in a solvent such as ethanol at an elevated temperature, e.g. up to the reflux temperature. Where it is desired to obtain a salt of a guanidine of formula (2), the reaction may be performed in the presence of a concentrated acid, e.g. hydrochloric or nitric acid.
The amines R.sup.1 ArNH.sub.2 are either known compounds or may be obtained by conventional procedures, for example by hydrogenation of the corresponding nitro derivatives using for example hydrogen in the presence of a metal catalyst in a suitable solvent, for example as more particularly described in the interconversion reactions discussed below. The derivatives R.sup.1 ArNO.sub.2 for this particular reaction are either known compounds or may be prepared from known nitro derivatives using for example alkylation and other standard substitution reactions as described in the interconversion reactions hereinafter.
Intermediate enaminones of formula (3) are either known compounds or may be prepared by reaction of a ketone of formula (4): ##STR4## with an acetal (R.sup.11)(R.sup.12)NCH(OCH.sub.3).sub.2 at an elevated temperature. The starting materials for this reaction are either known compounds of may be prepared by methods analogous to those used for the preparation of the known compounds.
In another process according to the invention, a compound of formula (1) wherein R.sup.1 is a group --L.sup.1 AlkR.sup.3 where L.sup.1 is a linker atom or group may be prepared by alkylation of an intermediate of formula (5): ##STR5## with a compound R.sup.3 AlkL where L is a leaving atom or group.
Particular leaving atoms or groups represented by L include for example halogen atoms, e.g. bromine, iodine or chlorine atoms, and sulphonyloxy groups, e.g. alkylsulphonyloxy groups, such as trifluoromethylsulphonyloxy, and arylsulphonyloxy groups, such as p-toluenesulphonyloxy.
The alkylation reaction may be carried out in the presence of a base, e.g. an inorganic base such as a carbonate, e.g. caesium or potassium carbonate, an alkoxide, e.g. potassium t-butoxide, or a hydride, e.g. sodium hydride, in a dipolar aprotic solvent such as an amide, e.g. a substituted amide such as a dimethylformamide or an ether, e.g. a cyclic ether such as tetrahydrofuran, at around 0.degree. C. to around 100.degree. C.
Intermediates of formula (5) may be prepared by reaction of an amine L.sup.1 ArNH.sub.2 with a compound of formula (6): ##STR6## where Hal is a halogen atom such as a chlorine atom.
The reaction may be performed at an elevated temperature, for example the reflux temperature, where necessary in the presence of a solvent, for example a ketone such as acetone, an alcohol such as ethanol or 2-ethoxyethanol or an aromatic hydrocarbon such as toluene, optionally in the presence of a base, for example an organic amine such as triethylamine or pyridine, or an acid, for example an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid.
The intermediates of formula (6) may be prepared by heating the corresponding ketones of formula (7): ##STR7## with a phosphorous oxyhalide in a solvent such as dimethylformamide at an elevated temperature such as the reflux temperature.
Ketones of formula (7) may be obtained from the corresponding amines of formula (8): ##STR8##
by reaction with a nitrite, e.g. sodium nitrite in an aqueous acidic solution followed by treatment with a base, for example an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide.
Amines of formula (8) may be prepared by reaction of an enaminone of formula (3) with guanidine or a salt thereof using the reaction conditions described above for the preparation of compounds of formula (1) from compounds of formula (3).
Intermediates of formulae R.sup.3 AlkL and L.sup.1 ArNH.sub.2 for use in the above reactions are either known readily available compounds or may be prepared by methods analogous to those used for the preparation of the known compounds.
In a further process according to the invention a compound of formula (1) may be prepared by displacement of the halogen atom in a compound of formula (6) with a compound of formula R.sup.1 ArNH.sub.2 using the reagents and conditions described above for the preparation of intermediates of formula (5). The compounds of formula R.sup.1 ArNH.sub.2 are either known or may be obtained by conventional procedures, for example by hydrogenation of the corresponding nitro derivatives using for example hyrogen in the presence of a metal catalyst for example as more particularly described in the interconversion reactions and Examples described below. The nitro derivatives are etiher readily available or may be obtained by manipulation of known nitro derivatives using for example alkylation and other standard substitution reactions described below and in the Examples.
In another example of a displacement reactiuon, a compound according to the invention in which R.sup.1 is a --L.sup.1 AlkR.sup.3 group and R.sup.3 is a heterocyclic amino group attached to the remainder of the molecule through its nitrogen atom may be prepared by treating a coresponding compound in which R.sup.1 is a --L.sup.1 AlkL group [where L is a leaving atom or group as described previously], with an amine R.sup.3 aNH [where R.sup.3 aN is an optionally substituted heterocycloaliphatic group R.sup.3 containing at least one nitrogen atom]. The reaction may be carried out in a solvent, for example an amide such as dimethylformamide, optionally in the presence of a base, for example an organic amine such as pyridine, at an elevated temperature such as the reflux temperature. The polycyclic starting material for use in this reaction may be obtained by utilising any of the methods described herein, for example by alkylation of an intermediate of formula (5) with a compound AlkL or a precursor thereto.
Compounds of formula (1) may also be prepared by interconversion of other compounds of formula (1) and it is to be understood that the invention extends to such interconversion processes. Thus, for example, standard substitution approaches employing for example alkylation, arylation, acylation, thioacylation, sulphonylation, formylation or coupling reactions may be used to add new substitutents to and/or extend existing substituents in compounds of formula (1). Alternatively existing substituents in compounds of formula (1) may be modified by for example oxidation, reduction or cleavage reactions to yield other compounds of formula (1).
The following describes in general terms a number of approaches which can be employed to modify existing Ar and aromatic or heteroaromatic groups represented by groups X, Y and A together in compounds of formula (1). It will be appreciated that each of these reactions will only be possible where one or more appropriate functional groups exist in the compound of formula (1).
Thus, for example alkylation or arylation of a compound of formula (1), for example to introduce a group --Alk.sup.1 (R.sup.8).sub.n or R.sup.8 where R.sup.8 is an aryl group may be achieved by reaction of the compound with a reagent (R.sup.8)nAlk.sup.1 L or R.sup.8 L, where L is a leaving group as described above. The alkylation or arylation reaction may be carried out as described previously in relation to the alkylation of intermediates of formula (5).
In another general example of an interconversion process, a compound of formula (1) may be acylated or thioacylated, for example to introduce a group --C(O)R.sup.9 or --C(S)R.sup.9. The reaction may be performed for example with an acyl or thioacyl halide or anhydride in the presence of a base, such as an organic amine e.g. triethylamine or pyridine in a solvent such as an aromatic or halogenated hydrocarbon, e.g. toluene, optionally in the presence of a catalyst, e.g. dimethylaminopyridine dichloromethane at for example ambient up to the reflux temperature, or by reaction with a thioester in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at a low temperature such as around 0.degree. C.
Compounds of formula (1) may be prepared in another general interconversion reaction by sulphonylation, for example by reaction of the compound with a reagent R.sup.9 S(O)L or R.sup.9 SO.sub.2 L where L is a leaving group as described above in the presence of a base, for example an inorganic base such as sodium hydride in a solvent such as an amide, e.g. a substituted amide such as dimethylformamide at for example ambient temperature. The reaction may in particular be performed with compounds of formula (1) in which Ar and/or X, Y and A together possesses a primary or secondary amino group.
In further examples of interconversion reactions according to the invention compounds of formula (1) may be prepared from other compounds of formula (1) by modification of existing functional groups in the latter.
Thus in one example, ester groups --CO.sub.2 Alk.sup.2 in compounds of formula (1) may be converted to the corresponding acid [--CO.sub.2 H] by acid- or base-catalysed hydrolysis depending on the nature of the group Alk.sup.2. Acid- or base-catalysed hydrolysis may be achieved for example by treatment with an organic or inorganic acid, e.g. trifluoroacetic acid in an aqueous solvent or a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid in a solvent such as dioxan or an alkali metal hydroxide, e.g. lithium hydroxide in an aqueous alcohol, e.g. aqueous methanol.
In a second example, --OR.sup.9 [where R.sup.9 represents an alkyl group such as methyl group] groups in compounds of formula (1) may be cleaved to the corresponding alcohol --OH by reaction with boron tribromide in a solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon, e.g. dichloromethane at a low temperature, e.g. around 78.degree. C.
In another example, alcohol --OH groups in compounds of formula (1) may be converted to a corresponding --OR.sup.9 group by coupling with a reagent R.sup.9 OH in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran in the presence of a phosphine, e.g. triphenylphosphine and an activator such as diethyl-, diisopropyl-, or dimethylazodicarboxylate.
Aminosulphonylamino [--NHSO.sub.2 NH.sub.2 ] groups in compounds of formula (1) may be obtained, in another example, by reaction of a corresponding amine [--NH.sub.2 ] with sulphamide in the presence of an organic base such as pyridine at an elevated temperature, e.g. the reflux temperature.
In another example of an interconversion reaction, amine (--NH.sub.2) groups may be alkylated using a reductive alkylation process employing an aldehyde and a borohydride, for example sodium triacetoxyborohyride or sodium cyanoborohydride, in a solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon, e.g. dichloromethane, a ketone such as acetone, or an alcohol, e.g. ethanol, where necessary in the presence of an acid such as acetic acid at around ambient temperature.
In a further example, amine [--NH.sub.2 ] groups in compounds of formula (1) may be obtained by hydrolysis from a corresponding imide by reaction with hydrazine in a solvent such as an alcohol, e.g. ethanol at ambient temperature.
In another example, a nitro [--NO.sub.2 ] group may be reduced to an amine [--NH.sub.2 ], for example by catalytic hydrogenation using for example hydrogen in the presence of a metal catalyst, for example palladium on a support such as carbon in a solvent such as an ether, e.g. tetrahydrofuran or an alcohol e.g. methanol, or by chemical reduction using for example a metal, e.g. tin or iron, in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric acid.
In a further example, amide [--CONHR.sup.9 ] groups in compounds of formula (1) may be obtained by coupling a corresponding acid [--CO.sub.2 H] or an active derivative thereof, e.g. an acid anhydride, ester, imide or halide, with an amine R.sup.9 NH.sub.2. The reaction may also be used to obtain compounds of formula (1) in which R.sub.1 is a --COR.sup.3 group [where R.sup.3 is an optionally substituted heterocycloaliphatic group containing at least one nitrogen atom connected to the group --CO--] by reaction of the corresponding acid in which R.sup.1 is --CO.sub.2 H or an active derivative thereof and an amine R.sup.3a NH as described above. The coupling reaction may be performed using standard conditions for reactions of this type. Thus for example the reaction may be carried out in a solvent, for example an inert organic solvent such as an amide, e.g. a substituted amide such as dimethylformamide, at a low temperature, e.g. -30.degree. C. to ambient temperature, optionally in the presence of a base, e.g. an organic base such as a cyclic amine, e.g. N-methylmorpholine, and where necessary in the presence of a condensing agent, for example a diimide such as 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide, advantageously in the presence of a catalyst such as a N-hydroxytriazole, e.g. 1-hydroxybenzotriazole.
Aromatic halogen substituents in compounds of the invention may be subjected to halogen-metal exchange with a base, for example a lithium base such as n-butyl or t-butyl lithium, optionally at a low temperature, e.g. around -78.degree. C., in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran and then quenched with an electrophile to introduce a desired substituent. Thus, for example, a formyl group may be introduced by using dimethylformamide as the electrophile; a thiomethyl group may be introduced by using dimethyidisulphide as the electrophile.
In another example, sulphur atoms in compounds of the invention, for example when present in the linker group Z, may be oxidised to the corresponding sulphoxide using an oxidising agent such as a peroxy acid, e.g. 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, in an inert solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon, e.g. dichloromethane, at around ambient temperature.
In a still further example, compounds of the invention may be prepared by aromatisation of a corresponding hydroaromatic compound. Thus, for example, a compound of formula (1) wherein the linker group Z is a --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 -- chain may be treated with a hydrogen acceptor, for example a quinone such as 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone in a solvent such as an ether, e.g. a cyclic ether such as dioxane, at an elevated temperature, e.g. the reflux temperature, to yield a corresponding compound in which Z is a --CH.dbd.CH-- chain.
In a further example of an interconversion reaction, a compound of the invention containing a substituent R.sup.7 in which R.sup.7 is an aryl or heteroaryl group may be prepared by coupling a corresponding compound in which the R.sup.7 substituent is a halogen atom such as a bromine atom, with a boronic acid Ar.sup.1 B(OH).sub.2 [in which Ar.sup.1 is an aryl or heteroaryl group as defined above for Ar] in the presence of a complex metal catalyst. Suitable catalysts include heavy metal catalysts, for example palladium catalysts such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium. The reaction may be performed in an inert organic solvent, for example an ether such as dimethoxyethane, in the presence of a base, e.g. an alkali carbonate such as sodium carbonate, at an elevated temperature, e.g. the reflux temperature.
N-oxides of compounds of formula (1) may be prepared for example by oxidation of the corresponding nitrogen base using an oxidising agent such as hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an acid such as acetic acid, at an elevated temperature, for example around 70.degree. C. to 80.degree. C., or alternatively by reaction with a peracid such as peracetic acid in a solvent, e.g. dichloromethane, at ambient temperature.

The following Examples illustrate the invention.
All temperatures are in .degree. C. The following abbreviations are used:
THF--tetrahydrofuran; DMF--dimethylformamide; DMSO--dimethylsulphoxide; HOBt--1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole; EDC--1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride;

Biological Activity
The following assays were used to demonstrate the activity and selectivity of compounds according to the invention. Enzymes for the assays were either obtained commercially or purified from known natural or recombinant sources using conventional methods.
p56.sup.lck kinase assay
The tyrosine kinase activity of p56.sup.lck was determined using a RR-src peptide (RRLIEDNEYTARG) and [.gamma.-.sup.33 P]ATP as substrates. Quantitation of the .sup.33 P-phosphorylated peptide formed by the action of p56.sup.lck was achieved using an adaption of the method of Geissler et al (J. Biol. Chem. (1990) 265, 22255-22261).
All assays were performed in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5 containing 10 mM MgCl.sub.2, 10 mM MnCl.sub.2, 0.05% Brij, 1 .mu.M ATP (0.5.mu.Ci[.gamma.-.sup.33 P]ATP) and 0.8 mg/ml RR-src. Inhibitors in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) were added such that the final concentration of DMSO did not exceed 1%, and enzyme such that the consumption of ATP was less than 10%. After incubation at 30.degree. C. for 15min, the reaction was terminated by the addition of one-third volume of stop reagent (0.25 mM EDTA and 33 mM ATP in dH.sub.2 O). A 15 .mu.l aliquot was removed, spotted onto a P-30 filtermat (Wallac, Milton Keynes, UK), and washed sequentially with 1% acetic acid and dH.sub.2 O to remove ATP. The bound .sup.33 P-RR-src was quantitated by scintillation counting of the filtermat in a Betaplate scintillation counter (Wallac, Milton Keynes, UK) after addition of Meltilex scintillant (Wallac, Milton Keynes, UK). The dpm obtained, being directly proportional to the amount of .sup.33 P-RR-src produced by p56.sup.lck, were used to determine the IC.sub.50 for each compound. The IC.sub.50 was defined as the concentration of compound required to reduce the production of .sup.33 P-RR-src by 50%.
In this assay, compounds according to the invention have IC.sub.50 values of around 100 nM or less.
p59.sup.fyn kinase assay
Compounds of the invention were assayed for p59.sup.fyn inhibitory activity in a similar manner to the p56.sup.lck assay using human p59.sup.fyn.
The selectivity of compounds according to the invention can be determined in an assay utilising a serine/threonine kinase:
Protein kinase C assay
Inhibitor activity against protein kinase C (PKC) was determined using PKC obtained from Sigma Chemical Company (Poole, UK) and a commercially available assay system (Amersham International plc, Amersham, UK). Briefly, PKC catalyses the transfer of the .gamma.-phosphate (.sup.32 p) of ATP to the threonine group on a peptide specific for PKC. Phosphonylated peptide is bound to phosphocellulose paper, subsequently quantified by scintillation counting, and IC.sub.50 values determined as described above. In this assay compounds according to the invention have IC.sub.50 values of 1 .mu.M and above.
