Description

This is a National Stage of International Application No. PCT/GB2007/002390, filed Jun. 26, 2007.

The present invention relates to a class of fused thiazole derivatives, and to their use in therapy. More particularly, the invention provides a family of 6,7-dihydro-[1,3]thiazolo[5,4-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one derivatives, and analogues thereof, which are substituted in the 2-position by an optionally substituted morpholin-4-yl moiety. These compounds are selective inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) enzymes, and are accordingly of benefit as pharmaceutical agents, especially in the treatment of adverse inflammatory, autoimmune, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, metabolic, oncological, nociceptive and ophthalmic conditions.

The PI3K pathway is implicated in a variety of physiological and pathological functions that are believed to be operative in a range of human diseases. Thus, PI3Ks provide a critical signal for cell proliferation, cell survival, membrane trafficking, glucose transport, neurite outgrowth, membrane ruffling, superoxide production, actin reorganization and chemotaxis (cf. S. Ward et al., Chemistry & Biology, 2003, 10, 207-213; and S. G. Ward & P. Finan, Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2003, 3, 426-434); and are known to be involved in the pathology of cancer, and metabolic, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases (cf. M. P. Wymann et al., Trends in Pharmacol. Sci., 2003, 24, 366-376). Aberrant upregulation of the PI3K pathway is implicated in a wide variety of human cancers (cf. S. Brader & S. A. Eccles, Tumori, 2004, 90, 2-8).

The compounds in accordance with the present invention, being potent and selective PI3K inhibitors, are therefore beneficial in the treatment and/or prevention of various human ailments. These include autoimmune and inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis and transplant rejection; cardiovascular disorders including thrombosis, cardiac hypertrophy, hypertension, and irregular contractility of the heart (e.g. during heart failure); neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal cord injury, head trauma and seizures; metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes; oncological conditions including leukaemia, glioblastoma, lymphoma, melanoma, and human cancers of the liver, bone, skin, brain, pancreas, lung, breast, stomach, colon, rectum, prostate, ovary and cervix; pain and nociceptive disorders; and ophthalmic disorders including age-related macular degeneration (ARMD).

In addition, the compounds in accordance with the present invention may be beneficial as pharmacological standards for use in the development of new biological tests and in the search for new pharmacological agents. Thus, the compounds of this invention may be useful as radioligands in assays for detecting compounds capable of binding to human PI3K enzymes.

Various fused thiazole derivatives are disclosed in Liebigs Annalen der Chemie, 1986, 780-784; and in Russian Journal of General Chemistry (translation of Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii), 2000, 70[5], 784-787. However, none of the compounds disclosed in either of those publications corresponds to a compound of the present invention; and no therapeutic utility is ascribed to any of the compounds disclosed therein.

The compounds in accordance with the present invention are potent and selective PI3K inhibitors having a binding affinity (IC₅₀) for the human PI3Kα and/or PI3Kβ and/or PI3Kγ and/or PI3Kδ isoform of 50 μM or less, generally of 20 μM or less, usually of 5 μM or less, typically of 1 μM or less, suitably of 500 nM or less, ideally of 100 nM or less, and preferably of 20 nM or less (the skilled person will appreciate that a lower IC₅₀ figure denotes a more active compound). The compounds of the invention may possess at least a 10-fold selective affinity, typically at least a 20-fold selective affinity, suitably at least a 50-fold selective affinity, and ideally at least a 100-fold selective affinity, for the human PI3Kα and/or PI3Krβ and/or PI3Kγ and/or PI3Kδ isoform relative to other human kinases.

Alternatively, R³ and R⁴, when both are attached to the same carbon atom, may together form an optionally substituted spiro linkage. Thus, R³ and R⁴, when both are attached to the same carbon atom, may represent, when taken together with the carbon atom to which they are both attached, C_3-7 cycloalkyl or C_3-7 heterocycloalkyl, either of which groups may be unsubstituted, or substituted by one or more, typically by one or two, substituents. In this context, R³ and R⁴, when taken together with the carbon atom to which they are both attached, may suitably represent an optionally substituted cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, pyrrolidine or piperidine ring.

Alternatively, R³ and R⁴, when attached to adjacent carbon atoms, may together form an optionally benzo-fused and/or substituted cycloalkyl, phenyl or heteroaryl (e.g. pyridinyl) ring fused to the morpholine ring. Thus, R³ and R⁴, when attached to adjacent carbon atoms, may represent, when taken together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached, C_5-7 cycloalkyl, phenyl or heteroaryl (e.g. pyridinyl), any of which groups may be benzo-fused and/or unsubstituted, or substituted by one or more, typically by one or two, substituents. In this context, in one embodiment, R³ and R⁴, when taken together with the adjacent carbon atoms to which they are attached, suitably represent a phenyl ring fused to the morpholine ring, which phenyl ring may be unsubstituted, or substituted by one or more, typically by one or two, substituents. Also in this context, in another embodiment, R³ and R⁴, when taken together with the adjacent carbon atoms to which they are attached, suitably represent a benzo-fused cyclopentyl ring, i.e. an indanyl moiety fused to the morpholine ring, which indanyl moiety may be unsubstituted, or substituted by one or more, typically by one or two, substituents.

In one embodiment, R⁵ represents hydrogen. In another embodiment, R⁵ represents C_1-6 alkyl, especially methyl.

Suitably, R⁶ represents hydrogen or C_1-6 alkyl. In one embodiment, R⁶ represents hydrogen. In another embodiment, R⁶ represents C_1-6 alkyl, especially methyl.

In one embodiment, R⁷ represents hydrogen. In another embodiment, R⁷ represents C_1-6 alkyl, especially methyl.

Alternatively, R⁶ and R⁷ may together form an optionally substituted spiro linkage. Thus, R⁶ and R⁷, when taken together with the carbon atom to which they are both attached, may represent C_3-7 cycloalkyl or C_3-7 heterocycloalkyl, either of which groups may be unsubstituted, or substituted by one or more, typically by one or two, substituents. In this context, R⁶ and R⁷, when taken together with the carbon atom to which they are both attached, may suitably represent an optionally substituted cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, pyrrolidine or piperidine ring.

Alternatively, R² and R⁶ may form an optionally benzo-fused and/or substituted cycloalkyl, phenyl or heteroaryl (e.g. pyridinyl) ring fused to the ring containing the NR⁵ moiety. Thus, R² and R⁶, when taken together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached, may represent C_5-7 cycloalkyl, phenyl or heteroaryl (e.g. pyridinyl), any of which groups may be benzo-fused and/or unsubstituted, or substituted by one or more, typically by one or two, substituents.

Also in this context, in another embodiment, R² and R⁶, when taken together with the adjacent carbon atoms to which they are attached, suitably represent a phenyl ring fused to the ring containing the NR⁵ moiety. Also in this context, in a further embodiment, R² and R⁶, when taken together with the adjacent carbon atoms to which they are attached, suitably represent a benzo-fused cyclopentyl ring, i.e. an indanyl moiety fused to the ring containing the NR⁵ moiety.

Suitable values of R⁸ include hydrogen and C_1-6 alkyl. In one embodiment, R⁸ represents hydrogen. In another embodiment, R⁸ represents C_1-6 alkyl, especially methyl.

Alternatively, R² and R⁸ may together form an optionally benzo-fused and/or substituted heterocycloalkyl (e.g. pyrrolidinyl) or heteroaryl (e.g. pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl or tetrazolyl) ring fused to the ring containing the NR⁵ moiety. Thus, R² and R⁸, when taken together with the carbon and nitrogen atoms to which they are respectively attached, may represent C_5-7 heterocycloalkyl (e.g. pyrrolidinyl) or heteroaryl (e.g. pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl or tetrazolyl), either of which groups may be benzo-fused and/or unsubstituted, or substituted by one or more, typically by one or two, substituents. In this context, in one embodiment, R² and R⁸, when taken together with the carbon and nitrogen atoms to which they are respectively attached, suitably represent a pyrrolidinyl ring fused to the ring containing the NR⁵ moiety (i.e. R²/R⁸ represents —CH₂CH₂CH₂—).

Where a mixture of products is obtained from any of the processes described above for the preparation of compounds according to the invention, the desired product can be separated therefrom at an appropriate stage by conventional methods such as preparative HPLC; or column chromatography utilising, for example, silica and/or alumina in conjunction with an appropriate solvent system.

Where the above-described processes for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention give rise to mixtures of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques. In particular, where it is desired to obtain a particular enantiomer of a compound of formula (I) this may be produced from a corresponding mixture of enantiomers using any suitable conventional procedure for resolving enantiomers. Thus, for example, diastereomeric derivatives, e.g. salts, may be produced by reaction of a mixture of enantiomers of formula (I), e.g. a racemate, and an appropriate chiral compound, e.g. a chiral base. The diastereomers may then be separated by any convenient means, for example by crystallisation, and the desired enantiomer recovered, e.g. by treatment with an acid in the instance where the diastereomer is a salt. In another resolution process a racemate of formula (I) may be separated using chiral HPLC. Moreover, if desired, a particular enantiomer may be obtained by using an appropriate chiral intermediate in one of the processes described above. Alternatively, a particular enantiomer may be obtained by performing an enantiomer-specific enzymatic biotransformation, e.g. an ester hydrolysis using an esterase, and then purifying only the enantiomerically pure hydrolysed acid from the unreacted ester antipode. Chromatography, recrystallisation and other conventional separation procedures may also be used with intermediates or final products where it is desired to obtain a particular geometric isomer of the invention.

During any of the above synthetic sequences it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, ed. J. F. W. McOmie, Plenum Press, 1973; and T. W. Greene & P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 3^rd edition, 1999. The protecting groups may be removed at any convenient subsequent stage utilising methods known from the art.

The following Examples illustrate the preparation of compounds according to the invention.

The compounds in accordance with this invention potently inhibit the activity of human PI3Kα and/or PI3Kβ and/or PI3Kγ and/or PI3Kδ.

Enzyme Inhibition Assays

Measurement of the ability of compounds to inhibit the lipid kinase activity of the four class 1 PI3 kinase isoforms (α, β, γ and δ) was performed using a commercially available homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence assay as described by Gray et al., Anal. Biochem., 2003, 313, 234-245, according to the manufacturer's instructions (Upstate). All assays were performed at 2 μM ATP and a concentration of purified class 1 PI3 kinase known to generate product within the linear range of the assay. Dilutions of inhibitor in DMSO were added to the assay and compared with assays run in the presence of 2% (v/v) DMSO alone (100% activity). The concentration of inhibitor required to inhibit the enzyme activity by 50% is quoted as the IC₅₀.

When tested in the above assay, the compounds of the accompanying Examples were all found to possess IC₅₀ values for inhibition of activity of human PI3Kα and/or PI3Kβ and/or PI3Kγ and/or PI3Kδ of 50 μM or better.
