Description

The present invention relates to chemical compounds that selectively inhibit glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), to methods of preparing said compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions and combinations comprising said compounds, to the use of said compounds for manufacturing a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment or prophylaxis of a disease, as well as to intermediate compounds useful in the preparation of said compounds.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Glucose is an essential substrate for metabolism in most cells. Because glucose is a polar molecule, transport through biological membranes requires specific transport proteins. Transport of glucose through the apical membrane of intestinal and kidney epithelial cells depends on the presence of secondary active Na+/glucose symporters, SGLT-1 and SGLT-2, which concentrate glucose inside the cells, using the energy provided by co-transport of Na+ ions down their electrochemical gradient. Facilitated diffusion of glucose through the cellular membrane is otherwise catalyzed by glucose carriers (protein symbol GLUT, gene symbol SLC2 for Solute Carrier Family 2) that belong to a superfamily of transport facilitators (major facilitator superfamily) including organic anion and cation transporters, yeast hexose transporter, plant hexose/proton symporters, and bacterial sugar/proton symporters.


Basal glucose transporters (GLUTs) function as glucose channels and are required for maintaining the basic glucose needs of cells. These GLUTs are constitutively expressed and functional in cells and are not regulated by (or sensitive to) insulin. ALL cells use both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria but rely overwhelmingly on oxidative phosphorylation when oxygen is abundant, switching to glycolysis at times of oxygen deprivation (hypoxia), as it occurs in cancer. In glycolysis, glucose is converted to pyruvate and two ATP molecules are generated in the process. Cancer cells, because of their faster proliferation rates, are predominantly in a hypoxic (Low oxygen) state. Therefore, cancer cells use glycolysis (lactate formation) as their predominant glucose metabolism pathway. Such a glycolytic switch not only gives cancer higher potentials for metastasis and invasiveness, but also increases cancer's vulnerability to external interference in glycolysis. The reduction of basal glucose transport is likely to restrict glucose supply to cancer cells, leading to glucose deprivation that forces cancer cells to slow down growth or to starve.


All known GLUT proteins contain 12 transmembrane domains and transport glucose by facilitating diffusion, an energy-independent process. GLUT1 transports glucose into cells probably by alternating its conformation. According to this model, GLUT1 exposes a single substrate-binding site toward either the outside or the inside of the cell. Binding of glucose to one site triggers a conformational change, releasing glucose to the other side of the membrane. Results of transgenic and knockout animal studies support an important role for these transporters in the control of glucose utilization, glucose storage and glucose sensing. The GLUT proteins differ in their kinetics and are tailored to the needs of the cell types they serve. Although more than one GLUT protein may be expressed by a particular cell type, cancers frequently overexpress GLUT1, which is a high affinity glucose transporter, and its expression Level is correlated with invasiveness and metastasis potentials of cancers, indicating the importance of upregulation of glucose transport in cancer cell growth and in the severity of cancer malignancy. GLUT1 expression was also found to be significantly higher than that of any other glucose transporters.


Evidence indicates that cancer cells are more sensitive to glucose deprivation than normal cells. Numerous studies strongly suggest that basal glucose transport inhibition induces apoptosis and blocks cancer cell growth. Anti-angiogenesis has been shown to be a very effective way to restrict cancer growth and cause cancer ablation.


Reduced GLUT1 expression following transfection of GLUT1 antisense cDNA into cancer cell lines has been shown to suppress cell growth in vitro and tumor growth in vivo, and to reduce in vitro invasiveness of cells (Noguchi Y. et al. Cancer Lett 154(2), 2000, 175-182; Ito S. et al. J Natl Cancer Inst 94(14), 2002, 1080-1091).


It has been demonstrated that GLUT1 is the most highly expressed hexose transporter in ErbB2- and PyVMT-induced mouse mammary carcinoma models, and that reducing the Level of GLUT1 using shRNA or Cre/lox results in reduced glucose usage, reduced growth on plastic and in soft agar, and impaired tumor growth in nude mice (Christian D. Young et al., PLoS ONE, August 2011, Volume 6, Issue 8, e23205, 1-12).


Therefore, inhibition of GLUT1 represents a promising approach for the treatment of proliferative disorders including solid tumours such as carcinomas and sarcomas and Leukaemias and lymphoid malignancies or other disorders associated with uncontrolled cellular proliferation.

As used herein, the term “one or more times”, e.g. in the definition of the substituents of the compounds of the general formulae of the present invention, is understood as meaning “one, two, three, four or five times, particularly one, two, three or four times, more particularly one, two or three times, even more particularly one or two times”.


Where the plural form of the word compounds, salts, polymorphs, hydrates, solvates and the like, is used herein, this is taken to mean also a single compound, salt, polymorph, isomer, hydrate, solvate or the like.


The compounds of this invention contain one or more asymmetric centres, depending upon the location and nature of the various substituents desired. Asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in the (R) or (S) configuration. In certain instances, asymmetry may also be present due to restricted rotation about a given bond, for example, the central bond adjoining two substituted aromatic rings of the specified compounds.


Substituents on a ring may also be present in either cis or trans form. It is intended that all such configurations are included within the scope of the present invention.


Preferred compounds are those which produce the more desirable biological activity. Separated, pure or partially purified isomers and stereoisomers or racemic or diastereomeric mixtures of the compounds of this invention are also included within the scope of the present invention. The purification and the separation of such materials can be accomplished by standard techniques known in the art.


The optical isomers can be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixtures according to conventional processes, for example, by the formation of diastereoisomeric salts using an optically active acid or base or formation of covalent diastereomers. Examples of appropriate acids are tartaric, diacetyltartaric, ditoluoyltartaric and camphorsulfonic acid. Mixtures of diastereoisomers can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical and/or chemical differences by methods known in the art, for example, by chromatography or fractional crystallisation. The optically active bases or acids are then iberated from the separated diastereomeric salts. A different process for separation of optical isomers involves the use of chiral chromatography (e.g., chiral HPLC columns), with or without conventional derivatisation, optimally chosen to maximise the separation of the enantiomers. Suitable chiral HPLC columns are manufactured by Diacel, e.g., Chiracel OD and Chiracel OJ among many others, all routinely selectable. Enzymatic separations, with or without derivatisation, are also useful. The optically active compounds of this invention can likewise be obtained by chiral syntheses utilizing optically active starting materials.


In order to limit different types of isomers from each other reference is made to IUPAC Rules Section E (Pure Appt Chem 45, 11-30, 1976).


The invention also includes all suitable isotopic variations of a compound of the invention. An isotopic variation of a compound of the invention is defined as one in which at least one atom is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually or predominantly found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into a compound of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulphur, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, such as 2H (deuterium), 3H (tritium), 11C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 17O, 18O, 32P, 33P, 33S, 34S, 35S, 36S, 18F, 36Cl, 82Br, 123I, 124I, 129I and 131I, respectively. Certain isotopic variations of a compound of the invention, for example, those in which one or more radioactive isotopes such as 3H or 14C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. Tritiated and carbon-14, i.e., 14C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopic variations of a compound of the invention can generally be prepared by conventional procedures known by a person skilled in the art such as by the illustrative methods or by the preparations described in the examples hereafter using appropriate isotopic variations of suitable reagents.


The present invention includes all possible stereoisomers of the compounds of the present invention as single stereoisomers, or as any mixture of said stereoisomers, in any ratio. Isolation of a single stereoisomer, e.g. a single enantiomer or a single diastereomer, of a compound of the present invention may be achieved by any suitable state of the art method, such as chromatography, especially chiral chromatography, for example.


Further, the compounds of the present invention may exist as tautomers. For example, any compound of the present invention which contains a pyrazole moiety as a heteroaryl group for example can exist as a 1H tautomer, or a 2H tautomer, or even a mixture in any amount of the two tautomers, or a triazole moiety for example can exist as a 1H tautomer, a 2H tautomer, or a 4H tautomer, or even a mixture in any amount of said 1H, 2H and 4H tautomers, viz.:

In the case of stoichiometric solvates, e.g. a hydrate, hemi-, (semi-), mono-, sesqui-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta- etc. solvates or hydrates, respectively, are possible. The present invention includes all such hydrates or solvates.


Further, the compounds of the present invention can exist in free form, e.g. as a free base, or as a free acid, or as a zwitterion, or can exist in the form of a salt. Said salt may be any salt, either an organic or inorganic addition salt, particularly any pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic addition salt, customarily used in pharmacy.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a relatively non-toxic, inorganic or organic acid addition salt of a compound of the present invention. For example, see S. M. Berge, et al. “Pharmaceutical Salts,” J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, 1-19.

Leukemias include, but are not limited to acute myeloid leukemia, acute Lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and hairy cell leukemia.


These disorders have been well characterized in humans, but also exist with a similar etiology in other mammals, and can be treated by administering pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention.


The term “treating” or “treatment” as stated throughout this document is used conventionally, e.g., the management or care of a subject for the purpose of combating, alleviating, reducing, relieving, improving the condition of, etc., of a disease or disorder, such as a carcinoma.


Based upon standard laboratory techniques known to evaluate compounds useful for the treatment of hyper-proliferative disorders and angiogenic disorders, by standard toxicity tests and by standard pharmacological assays for the determination of treatment of the conditions identified above in mammals, and by comparison of these results with the results of known medicaments that are used to treat these conditions, the effective dosage of the compounds of this invention can readily be determined for treatment of each desired indication. The amount of the active ingredient to be administered in the treatment of one of these conditions can vary widely according to such considerations as the particular compound and dosage unit employed, the mode of administration, the period of treatment, the age and sex of the patient treated, and the nature and extent of the condition treated.


The total amount of the active ingredient to be administered will generally range from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 200 mg/kg body weight per day, and preferably from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg body weight per day. Clinically useful dosing schedules will range from one to three times a day dosing to once every four weeks dosing. In addition, “drug holidays” in which a patient is not dosed with a drug for a certain period of time, may be beneficial to the overall balance between pharmacological effect and tolerability. A unit dosage may contain from about 0.5 mg to about 1500 mg of active ingredient, and can be administered one or more times per day or less than once a day. The average daily dosage for administration by injection, including intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and parenteral injections, and use of infusion techniques will preferably be from 0.01 to 200 mg/kg of total body weight. The average daily rectal dosage regimen will preferably be from 0.01 to 200 mg/kg of total body weight. The average daily vaginal dosage regimen will preferably be from 0.01 to 200 mg/kg of total body weight. The average daily topical dosage regimen will preferably be from 0.1 to 200 mg administered between one to four times daily. The transdermal concentration will preferably be that required to maintain a daily dose of from 0.01 to 200 mg/kg. The average daily inhalation dosage regimen will preferably be from 0.01 to 100 mg/kg of total body weight.


Of course the specific initial and continuing dosage regimen for each patient will vary according to the nature and severity of the condition as determined by the attending diagnostician, the activity of the specific compound employed, the age and general condition of the patient, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion of the drug, drug combinations, and the like. The desired mode of treatment and number of doses of a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester or composition thereof can be ascertained by those skilled in the art using conventional treatment tests.


General Synthesis of Compounds of General Formula (I) of the Present Invention

The following paragraphs outline a variety of synthetic approaches suitable to prepare compounds of the general formula (I), and intermediates useful for their synthesis.


In addition to the routes described below, also other routes may be used to synthesise the target compounds, in accordance with common general knowledge of a person skilled in the art of organic synthesis. The order of transformations exemplified in the following schemes is therefore not intended to be limiting, and suitable synthesis steps from various schemes can be combined to form additional synthesis sequences. In addition, interconversion of any of the substituents, in particular R1, R2, R4a, R4b, R5a, R5b, R5c, R5d or R6, as well as of the R7 group attached to R3 via -(L2)p-, can be achieved before and/or after the exemplified transformations. These modifications can be such as the introduction of protective groups, cleavage of protective groups, reduction or oxidation of functional groups, halogenation, metallation, metal catalysed coupling reactions, exemplified by but not limited to Suzuki, Sonogashira and Ullmann coupling, ester saponifications, amide coupling reactions, and/or substitution or other reactions known to a person skilled in the art. These transformations include those which introduce a functionality allowing for further interconversion of substituents. Appropriate protective groups and their introduction and cleavage are well-known to a person skilled in the art (see for example T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd edition, Wiley 1999).


Specific examples of said interconversions are described in the subsequent paragraphs. Exemplary reference is being made to several specific protocols in the experimental section, infra, e.g. for conversions of R5b=bromo into a secondary amine (Intermediate 55A), of R5d and R5b=bromo into cyano-(examples 102, 103), and of R5b=bromo into phenyl- (example 166), or —C(═O)—OCH3 (example 149) by means of palladium catalysed coupling reactions, the conversion of R7=—C(═O)—OCH3 into the corresponding carboxylic acid and multiple carboxamide derivatives by ester hydrolysis, followed by carboxamide coupling e.g. as described in examples 131 to 143, the conversion of R4a=bromo into R4a=ethyl by reaction with a Grignard reagent (example 69), and to the conversion of R7=cyano- into a tetrazolyl- group (example 400). Further, it is possible that two or more successive steps may be performed without work-up being performed between said steps, e.g. a “one-pot” reaction, as it is well-known to a person skilled in the art.


Compounds of general formula (I) can be assembled from 4-aminopyrazole derivatives of formula (II), in which R1, R2, R3, R6 and L1 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives of formula (III), in which R4a, R4b, R5a, R5b, R5c and R5d are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), by means of carboxamide (or peptide) coupling reaction well known to the person skilled in the art, according to Scheme 1. Said coupling reaction can be performed by reaction of compounds of the formulae (II) and (III) in the presence of a suitable coupling reagent, such as HATU (O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate), TBTU (O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate), PyBOP (benzotriazol-1-yl-oxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate), or EDC (1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride) in combination with HOBt (1-hydroxy-1H-benzotriazole hydrate), in the presence of a base such as an aliphatic or aromatic tertiary amine, preferably a tertiary aliphatic amine of the formula N(C1-C4-alkyl)3, in an appropriate solvent.


Preferred herein is the performance of said carboxamide coupling reaction using O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) as a coupling agent, in the presence of N,N-diisopropylethylamine as a base, and in tetrahydrofuran as a solvent, within a temperature range from 0° C. to 50° C.


Also preferred herein is the performance of said carboxamide coupling reaction using O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) as a coupling agent, in the presence of N,N-diisopropylethylamine as a base, and in dimethylsulfoxide as a solvent, within a temperature range from 0° C. to 50° C.


Also preferred herein is the performance of said carboxamide coupling reaction using benzotriazol-1-yl-oxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP) as a coupling agent, in the presence of N,N-diisopropylethylamine as a base, and in tetrahydrofuran as a solvent, within a temperature range from 0° C. to 50° C.


The preparation of amides from 4-aminopyrazole derivatives of formula (II), in which R1, R2, R3, R6 and L1 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives of formula (III), in which R4a, R4b, R5a, R5b, R5c and R5d are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), can furthermore be accomplished, as well known to the person skilled in the art, by converting carboxylic acids of the formula (III) into the corresponding acyl halides, e.g. by reacting with a halogenating agent such as thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride, or phosphoroxy chloride, and subsequent aminotysis using said 4-aminopyrazole derivatives of formula (II).

4-Aminopyrazole intermediates and quinazoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives of formulae (II) and (III) can be prepared using synthetic methods described in more detail as according to Schemes 3, 4 and 5 shown below. Certain quinazoline-4-carboxylic acids are also commercially available in some structural variety.


If aminopyrazole derivatives of formula (II), in which R6 represents a hydrogen atom, have been employed in the carboxamide coupling reaction described supra, R6 groups different from hydrogen can also be introduced subsequently to said carboxamide coupling reaction by means of deprotonating the resulting compounds of formula (Ia), in which R1, R2, R3, R4a, R4b, R5a, R5b, R5c, R5d and L1 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), with a base such as an alkali metal hydride, preferably sodium hydride, followed by reaction with a compound of the formula (IV), in which LG represents a leaving group, preferably chloro, bromo, or iodo, and in which R6 is as defined for the compounds of general formula (I) but different from hydrogen, to give compounds of formula (Ib), as outlined in Scheme 2.

Compounds of formula (IV) are well known to the person skilled in the art and are readily commercially available.


Intermediate 4-aminopyrazole derivatives of formula (II) are available e.g. by reaction of 4-nitropyrazole derivatives of the formula (V), in which R1 and R2 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), with compounds of the formula (VI), in which R3 and L1 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which LG represents a leaving group, preferably chloro, bromo, or iodo, in the presence of a suitable base such as an alkali carbonate, preferably cesium carbonate, to give N-1-substituted nitropyrazole intermediates of formula (VII). As another suitable base, 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene can be used to perform said alkylation reaction. Alternatively, the nitro group can be introduced after substitution of pyrazole N-1 with -L1-R3 described above; for said inverse synthetic route see e.g. the protocols describing the preparation of Intermediate 30B in the experimental section, infra.


In cases where R1 and R2 are different from each other, said nitropyrazole intermediates of formula (VII) are formed as mixtures of regioisomers, as a result of the tautomery featured by the pyrazole core. Said mixtures can be separated into pure regioisomers by methods known to the person skilled in the art, such as column chromatography on silica gel, or by preparative HPLC, either directly following the reaction, or on a later or final stage.


Said compounds of formula (VII) can subsequently be reduced, using reduction methods well known to the person skilled in the art, to give primary amines of formula (IIa). Said reduction methods encompass the use of palladium catalysed hydrogenation, using elemental hydrogen or alternative hydrogen sources such as ammonium formate, and the use of zinc dust or powdered iron in the presence of acetic acid, or the use of tin (II) chloride e.g. in ethanol as a solvent. The latter reagents are preferably used if the substrate contains functional groups vulnerable to catalytic hydrogenation, such as cyano-, bromo or chloro, in particular if attached to an aromatic ring.

4-Nitropyrazoles of the formula (V) are well known to the person skilled in the art (see e.g. ethyl 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate see Journal of Organic Chemistry 1956, p. 833; 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole-5-carbonitrile see Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry 1970, p. 863; 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide see Journal of Organic Chemistry 1956, p. 833 or U.S. Pat. No. 4,282,361 (1981); N,3-dimethyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide see Chinese Chemical Letters 2012, p. 669; N,N,3-trimethyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide see DE1945430 (1968)) and are also commercially available in certain cases (e.g. ethyl 3-methyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate at Fluorochem, Matrix, Oakwood; 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazole at ABCR; 5-methyl-4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole at ABCR, Fluorochem, Matrix).


In general, the nitro group can be introduced into pyrazole derivatives lacking substitution at C-4, by treating 3,4-disubstituted pyrazoles with sulfuric and nitric acid (see e.g. Intermediates 1D-5D), to give 4-nitropyrazoles of formula (V).


R6 groups different from hydrogen can be either be introduced at later stage, as outlined in Scheme 2, or they may be introduced into primary amines by means of reductive amination reactions well known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. by reaction of said primary amines of formula (IIa) with suitable aldehydes or ketones, followed by reduction e.g. with sodium cyanoborohydride.


Quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives of formula (III), if not commercially available, can be prepared readily from indole-2,3-dione precursors (see e.g. Monatshefte für Chemie 2013, p. 391; Chinese Chemical Letters 2010, p. 35; The Pfitzinger Reaction. (Review) in Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol 40 (2004), Issue 3, pp 257) of formula (VIII), in which R5a, R5b, R5c and R5d are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), by reaction with carbonyl compounds of formula (IX), in which R4a and R4b are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), in an aqueous buffered solvent e.g. comprising sodium hydroxide, sodium acetate, acetic acid and water, at an elevated temperature, to directly give compounds of formula (III), as outlined in Scheme 4.

Indole-2,3-diones of formula (VIII) are well known to the person skilled in the art and are either commercially available or can be prepared by methods described e.g. in Chinese Chemical Letters, 2013, p. 929; J. Med. Chem. 2006, p. 4638. Carbonyl compounds of formula (IX) can be purchased commercially in wide structural variety.


The chemical reactivity of groups R4a present in compounds of formula (III) can be modulated as a result of the neighbouring ring nitrogen atom, thus allowing for chemoselective manipulation of R4a. This may be exemplified by (but is not limited to) the synthesis of a subset of said quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives described by formula (IIId), in which R4a is represented by a group —C(═O)N(R10a)R10b, as outlined in Scheme 5. Diacids of the formula (IIIa), which are available e.g. by reacting pyruvic acid with an indole-2,3-dione of formula (V) according to Scheme 4, can be converted readily into the respective diesters of formula (IIIb), in which R4b, R5a, R5b, R5c and R5d are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which RE represents C1-C3-alkyl-, by conversion of the carboxy groups into acyl halides using methods well known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. by reaction with thionyl chloride, followed by solvolysis in an aliphatic alcohol of the formula C1-C3-alkyl-OH, preferably methanol. The resulting diesters of formula (IIIb) are then reacted with an amine of formula (X), in which R10a and R10b are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), to give monoamides of formula (IIIc), which are subsequently subjected to ester hydrolysis by methods known to the person skilled in the art, preferably by an alkali hydroxide in an aqueous aliphatic alcohol of the formula C1-C3-alkyl-OH, to give the quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives of formula (IIId). The sequence of protocols describing the preparation of Intermediate 2A in the experimental part below constitute an instructive example for this reaction sequence.

An alternative synthetic approach to the compounds of the general formula (I), which is particularly suitable for the preparation or multiple derivatives featuring different -L1-R3 moieties by introducing said -L1-R3 moieties on late stage, is outlined in Scheme 6. 4-Aminopyrazoles of formula (X), in which R1, R2 and R6 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and quinoline-4-carboxylic acid derivatives of formula (III), in which R4a, R4b, R5a, R5b, R5c and R5d are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), are subjected to a carboxamide (or peptide) coupling reaction well known to the person skilled in the art, as discussed supra with regard to Scheme 1, to give intermediate compounds of formula (XI). Said coupling reaction can be performed by reaction of compounds of the formulae (X) and (III) in the presence of a suitable coupling reagent, such as HATU (O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate), TBTU (O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate), PyBOP (benzotriazol-1-yl-oxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate), or EDC (1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride) in combination with HOBt (1-hydroxy-1H-benzotriazole hydrate), in the presence of a base such as an aliphatic or aromatic tertiary amine, preferably a tertiary aliphatic amine of the formula N(C1-C4-alkyl)3, in an appropriate solvent.


Participation of the pyrazole ring NH in said carboxamide coupling reaction may give rise to the formation of intermediate compounds of formula (XI) as regioisomeric mixtures with the corresponding N1 amides. These can be removed by separation techniques well known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. preparative HPLC either immediately after the coupling, or, preferably, after conversion into the compounds of general formula (I).


Said intermediate compounds of formula (XI) can be converted into the compounds of general formula (I) by reaction with compounds of the formula (VI), in which R3 and L1 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which LG represents a Leaving group, preferably chloro, bromo, or iodo, in the presence of a suitable inorganic base, such as an alkali carbonate, preferably cesium carbonate or an alkali hydride, such as sodium hydride, or an organic base, such as potassium tert.-butoxide or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene.


4-Aminopyrazoles of formula (X) are well known to the person skilled in the art and can be purchased commercially in many cases.

NMR peak forms of selected examples are stated as they appear in the spectra, possible higher order effects have not been considered. In cases were a signal is very broad or is partially or totally hidden by a solvent peak the total number of hydrogen atoms displayed in NMR spectra can differ from the number of hydrogen atoms present in the respective molecule.


The 1H-NMR data of selected examples are listed in the form of 1H-NMR peaklists. For each signal peak the 6 value in ppm is given, followed by the signal intensity, reported in round brackets. The 6 value-signal intensity pairs from different peaks are separated by semicolons. Therefore, a peaklist is described by the general form: δ1 (intensity1); δ2 (intensity2); . . . ; δi (intensity1); . . . ; δn (intensityn).


The intensity of a sharp signal correlates with the height (in cm) of the signal in a printed NMR spectrum. When compared with other signals, this data can be correlated to the real ratios of the signal intensities. In the case of broad signals, more than one peak, or the center of the signal along with their relative intensity, compared to the most intense signal displayed in the spectrum, are shown. A 1H-NMR peaklist is similar to a classical 1H-NMR readout, and thus usually contains all the peaks listed in a classical NMR interpretation. Moreover, similar to classical 1H-NMR printouts, peaklists can show solvent signals, signals derived from stereoisomers of target compounds (also the subject of the invention), and/or peaks of impurities. The peaks of stereoisomers, and/or peaks of impurities are typically displayed with a lower intensity compared to the peaks of the target compounds (e.g., with a purity of >90%). Such stereoisomers and/or impurities may be typical for the particular manufacturing process, and therefore their peaks may help to identify the reproduction of our manufacturing process on the basis of “by-product fingerprints”. An expert who calculates the peaks of the target compounds by known methods (MestReC, ACD simulation, or by use of empirically evaluated expectation values), can isolate the peaks of target compounds as required, optionally using additional intensity filters. Such an operation would be similar to peak-picking in classical 1H-NMR interpretation. A detailed description of the reporting of NMR data in the form of peaklists can be found in the publication “Citation of NMR Peaklist Data within Patent Applications” (cf. Research Disclosure Database Number 605005, 2014, 1 Aug. 2014, or http://www.researchdisclosure.com/searching-disclosures).

In order that this invention may be better understood, the following examples are set forth. These examples are for the purpose of illustration only, and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any manner. All publications mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Demonstration of the activity of the compounds of the present invention may be accomplished through in vitro and in vivo assays that are well known in the art. For example, to demonstrate the efficacy of a pharmaceutical agent to inhibit glucose transporter GLUT1 and/or GLUT2 the following assays may be used.


Indirect Measurement of GLUT1 and GLUT2 Activity by Quantification of Intracellular ATP Levels

It is well known that a combination of small-molecule inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transport chain and glucose catabolism synergistically suppress ATP production and impair cellular viability (Ulanovskaya et al., 2008, 2011; Liu, et al. 2001). We therefore used DLD1 or CHO-K1 cells in combination with an oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor to identify GLUT1 and GLUT2 inhibitors. Cell lines were maintained in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FCS and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin solution and 2% Glutamax. The cells were treated with trypsin and seeded into 384 plates at a density of 4000 cells/well. The cells were then cultured overnight in glucose free media containing 1% FCS to reduce intracellular ATP levels. After 24 h the cells were incubated at 37° C. containing the respective appropriate concentrations of glucose (0.1 mM, for determining GLUT1 activity) or fructose (10 mM, for determining GLUT2 activity) with or without example compounds and 1 μM Rotenone for 15 min. The CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay from Promega was then used to measure ATP Levels. Compounds able to reduce the ATP levels within 15 min of glucose/fructose application were considered to be glucose/fructose uptake inhibitors, respectively.

Biological Assay: Glucose Uptake Assay

Cells (e.g. H460 or CHO-K1) were cultured under standard conditions. 10000 cells per well were seeded in clear 96 well tissue culture isoplate plates and cultured overnight (PerkinElmer, 1450-516) under standard conditions. Culture medium was removed and cells were washed two times with 100 μL KRP buffer and then incubated for 45 minutes at 37° C. (KRP buffer: 10 mM sodium hydrogen phosphate, 130 mM sodium chloride, 5 mM potassium chloride, 1.3 mM magnesium sulfate, 1.3 mM calcium chloride (pH 7.5), 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 4.7 mM potassium chloride, 1.25 mM magnesium sulfate, 1.25 mM calcium chloride) each. KRP wash buffer was removed and compound 126 (diluted in KRP buffer) was added and incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C. 200 nM radioligand (radioligand 2[1,2] 3H-Deoxy D-Glucose in KRP buffer) were added and incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature. The supernatant was removed and cells were washed with 100 μL ice-cold KRP for two times each. 25 μL of Lysis buffer (1% Triton-X, 0.5N sodium hydroxide) were added and incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes. 75 μL scintillation solution (Microscint-20, PerkinElmer) were added and the plates were shaken for 1 minute. The plates were incubated for 3 h at room temperature and the counts were determined by using a Wallace MicroBeta counter (60 seconds per well).

Biological assay: Proliferation Assay


Cultivated tumor cells (MCF7, hormone dependent human mammary carcinoma cells, ATCC HTB22; NCI-H460, human non-small cell lung carcinoma cells, ATCC HTB-177; DU 145, hormone-independent human prostate carcinoma cells, ATCC HTB-81; HeLa-MaTu, human cervical carcinoma cells, EPO-GmbH, Berlin; HeLa-MaTu-ADR, multidrug-resistant human cervical carcinoma cells, EPO-GmbH, Berlin; HeLa human cervical tumor cells, ATCC CCL-2; B16F10 mouse melanoma cells, ATCC CRL-6475) were plated at a density of 5000 cells/well (MCF7, DU145, HeLa-MaTu-ADR), 3000 cells/well (NCI-H460, HeLa-MaTu, HeLa), or 1000 cells/well (B16F10) in a 96-well multititer plate in 200 μL of their respective growth medium supplemented 10% fetal calf serum. After 24 hours, the cells of one plate (zero-point plate) were stained with crystal violet (see below), while the medium of the other plates was replaced by fresh culture medium (200 μL), to which the test substances were added in various concentrations (0 μM, as well as in the range of 0.01-30 μM; the final concentration of the solvent dimethyl sulfoxide was 0.5%). The cells were incubated for 4 days in the presence of test substances. Cell proliferation was determined by staining the cells with crystal violet: the cells were fixed by adding 20 μL/measuring point of an 11% glutaric aldehyde solution for 15 minutes at room temperature. After three washing cycles of the fixed cells with water, the plates were dried at room temperature. The cells were stained by adding 100 μL/measuring point of a 0.1% crystal violet solution (pH 3.0). After three washing cycles of the stained cells with water, the plates were dried at room temperature. The dye was dissolved by adding 100 μL/measuring point of a 10% acetic acid solution. The extinction was determined by photometry at a wavelength of 595 nm. The change of cell number, in percent, was calculated by normalization of the measured values to the extinction values of the zero-point plate (=0%) and the extinction of the untreated (0 μm) cells (=100%). The IC50 values were determined by means of a 4 parameter fit.


Determination of Metabolic Stability In Vitro

(including calculation of hepatic in vivo blood clearance (CL) and of maximal oral bioavailability (Fmax))


The metabolic stability of test compounds in vitro was determined by incubating them at 1 μM with a suspension Liver microsomes in 100 mM phosphate buffer, pH7.4 (NaH2PO4×H2O+Na2HPO4×2H2O) at a protein concentration of 0.5 mg/mL and at 37° C. The reaction was activated by adding a co-factor mix containing 1.2 mg NADP, 3 IU glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 14.6 mg glucose-6-phosphate and 4.9 mg MgCl2 in phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Organic solvent in the incubations was limited to <0.2% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and <1% methanol. During incubation, the microsomal suspensions were continuously shaken and aliquots were taken at 2, 8, 16, 30, 45 and 60 min, to which equal volumes of cold methanol were immediately added. Samples were frozen at −20° C. over night, subsequently centrifuged for 15 minutes at 3000 rpm and the supernatant was analyzed with an Agilent 1200 HPLC-system with LCMS/MS detection.


The half-life of a test compound was determined from the concentration-time plot. From the half-life the intrinsic clearances were calculated. Together with the additional parameters liver blood flow, specific Liver weight and microsomal protein content the hepatic in vivo blood clearance (CL) and the maximal oral bioavailability (Fmax) were calculated for the different species. The following parameter values were used: Liver blood flow—1.3 L/h/kg (human), 2.1 L/h/kg (dog), 4.2 L/h/kg (rat); specific liver weight—21 g/kg (human), 39 g/kg (dog), 32 g/kg (rat); microsomal protein content—40 mg/g.


With the described assay only phase-I metabolism of microsomes is reflected, e.g. typically oxidoreductive reactions by cytochrome P450 enzymes and flavin mono-oxygenases (FMO) and hydrolytic reactions by esterases (esters and amides).
