Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to novel compounds which inhibit BTK and their use as medicaments.


2. Background Information

Members of the protein kinase family of human enzymes play important regulatory roles in a multitude of distinct signal transduction processes due to their post-translational modification of specific proteins via the addition of a phosphate group (Hunter, Cell, 1987 50, 823-829). Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a member of the Tec family of tyrosine kinases and plays a critical role in B cell development, activation and antibody production.


The contribution of BTK to B cell biology is exemplified in the X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) immunodeficiency in humans (reviewed in Lindvall, Immunol Rev 2005, 203, 200-215 that display attenuated calcium signaling upon BCR engagement, lack mature B cells in periphery due to block between pro- and pre-B cells stage and have lower levels of circulating antibodies than normal healthy subjects. The outcome of recent clinical trials with B cell depleting anti-CD20 molecules in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple sclerosis (MS) support the hypothesis that B cells offer an important intervention node for controlling autoimmune disorders (Townsend et al. 2010). As such, attenuation of B cell activation and proliferation via inhibition of BTK may offer similar therapeutic benefit and is consistent with the demonstrated resistance of BTK-deficient mice to collagen induced arthritis (Jansson, 1993, Clin Exp Immunol 94, 459-xxx) and experimental autoimmune encephalitis (Svensson et al. 2002 and Mangla et al 2004). Similarly, the clinical efficacy observed with a neutralizing antibody to the B cell stimulating factor BlyS supports a role for B cells in the pathophysiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (La Cava 2010). Given the necessity for BTK for the production of autoantibodies, including anti-DNA antibodies, in murine models of SLE (Steinberg et al., 1982; Golding et al., 1983; Scribner et al., 1987; Seldin et al., 1987; Satterthwaite et al., 1998; Takeshita et al., 1998; Whyburn et. al., 2003), BTK inhibitors may offer therapeutic benefit to SLE patients.


Within myeloid cells, BTK signal transduction is necessary for the stimulated release of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF from stimulated monocytes (Horwood, J Exp Med, 2003, 1603-xxx) and for optimal actin cytoskeletal organization and lacunar bone resorption in isolated osteoclasts (Danks, 2011, J Bone and Mineral Research, 26, 182-192). Bone marrow derived mast cells lacking BTK exhibit impaired activation-induced degranulation and cytokine release (ref). Given the role of BTK in signal transduction processes across multiple cell types implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and allergic disorders, inhibition of BTK activity may provide clinical benefit in diseases such as RA, MS, SLE, asthma and allergic disorders.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention comprises a novel class of heteroaromatic compounds and methods for making and using the same. These compounds are useful for the treatment of autoimmune and allergic disorders in that they exhibit good inhibitory effect upon BTK.

By the terms propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl etc. without any further definition are meant saturated hydrocarbon groups with the corresponding number of carbon atoms, wherein all isomeric forms are included.


The above definition for alkyl also applies if alkyl is a part of another (combined) group such as for example Cx-yalkylamino or Cx-yalkoxy.


Unlike alkyl, alkenyl consists of at least two carbon atoms, wherein at least two adjacent carbon atoms are joined together by a C—C double bond and a carbon atom can only be part of one C—C double bond. If in an alkyl as hereinbefore defined having at least two carbon atoms, two hydrogen atoms on adjacent carbon atoms are formally removed and the free valencies are saturated to form a second bond, the corresponding alkenyl is formed.


Alkenyl may optionally be present in the cis or trans or E or Z orientation with regard to the double bond(s).


Unlike alkyl, alkynyl consists of at least two carbon atoms, wherein at least two adjacent carbon atoms are joined together by a C—C triple bond. If in an alkyl as hereinbefore defined having at least two carbon atoms, two hydrogen atoms in each case at adjacent carbon atoms are formally removed and the free valencies are saturated to form two further bonds, the corresponding alkynyl is formed.


Haloalkyl (haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl) is derived from the previously defined alkyl (alkenyl, alkynyl) by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms of the hydrocarbon chain independently of one another by halogen atoms, which may be identical or different. If a haloalkyl (haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl) is to be further substituted, the substitutions may take place independently of one another, in the form of mono- or polysubstitutions in each case, on all the hydrogen-carrying carbon atoms.


Examples of haloalkyl (haloalkenyl, haloalkynyl) are —CF3, —CHF2, —CH2F, —CF2CF3, —CHFCF3, —CH2CF3, —CF2CH3, —CHFCH3, —CF2CF2CF3, —CF2CH2CH3, —CF═CF2, —CCl═CH2, —CBr═CH2, —CHFCH2CH3, —CHFCH2CF3 etc.


Halogen relates to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and/or iodine atoms.


Cycloalkyl is made up of the subgroups monocyclic hydrocarbon rings, bicyclic hydrocarbon rings and spiro-hydrocarbon rings. The systems are saturated. In bicyclic hydrocarbon rings two rings are joined together so that they have at least two carbon atoms together.


If a cycloalkyl is to be substituted, the substitutions may take place independently of one another, in the form of mono- or polysubstitutions in each case, on all the hydrogen-carrying carbon atoms. Cycloalkyl itself may be linked as a substituent to the molecule via every suitable position of the ring system.


Examples of cycloalkyl are cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl.


Corresponding groups are an example:




embedded image


Spirocycle is a spiro-hydrocarbon ring one carbon atom (spiroatom) belongs to two rings together.


Aryl denotes mono-, bi- or tricyclic carbocycles with at least one aromatic carbocycle. Preferably, it denotes a monocyclic group with six carbon atoms (phenyl) or a bicyclic group with nine or ten carbon atoms (two six-membered rings or one six-membered ring with a five-membered ring), wherein the second ring may also be aromatic or, however, may also be saturated or partially saturated.


If an aryl is to be substituted, the substitutions may take place independently of one another, in the form of mono- or polysubstitutions in each case, on all the hydrogen-carrying carbon atoms. Aryl itself may be linked as a substituent to the molecule via every suitable position of the ring system.


Examples of aryl are phenyl and naphthyl.


The above definition of aryl also applies if aryl is part of another (combined) group as for example in arylamino, aryloxy or arylalkyl.


Heterocyclyl denotes ring systems, which are derived from the previously defined cycloalkyl or spirocycle by replacing one or more of the groups —CH2— independently of one another in the hydrocarbon rings by the groups —O—, —S— or —NH—, wherein a total of not more than five heteroatoms may be present, at least one carbon atom may be present between two oxygen atoms and between two sulphur atoms or between one oxygen and one sulphur atom and the ring as a whole must have chemical stability. Heteroatoms may optionally be present in all the possible oxidation stages (sulphur→sulphoxide —SO—, sulphone —SO2—; nitrogen→N-oxide).


If a heterocyclyl is substituted, the substitutions may take place independently of one another, in the form of mono- or polysubstitutions in each case, on all the hydrogen-carrying carbon and/or nitrogen atoms. Heterocyclyl itself may be linked as a substituent to the molecule via every suitable position of the ring system.


Examples of heterocyclyl are tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, pyrrolidinyl, morpholinyl, or the following heterocyclic spirocycles




embedded image


Heteroaryl denotes monocyclic heteroaromatic rings or polycyclic rings with at least one heteroaromatic ring, which compared with the corresponding aryl or cycloalkyl, instead of one or more carbon atoms, one or more identical or different heteroatoms, selected independently of one another from among nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen, wherein the resulting group must be chemically stable. The prerequisite for the presence of heteroaryl is a heteroatom and a heteroaromatic system.


If a heteroaryl is to be substituted, the substitutions may take place independently of one another, in the form of mono- or polysubstitutions in each case, on all the hydrogen-carrying carbon and/or nitrogen atoms. Heteroaryl itself may be linked as a substituent to the molecule via every suitable position of the ring system, both carbon and nitrogen.


Examples of heteroaryl are, pyridinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, benzoxazolyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, benzofuranyl, benzimidazolyl, benzothiazolyl, and the like.


Heteroatoms may optionally be present in all the possible oxidation stages (sulphur→sulphoxide —SO—, sulphone —SO2—; nitrogen→N-oxide).


Carbocycles include hydrocarbon rings containing from three to twelve carbon atoms. These carbocycles may be either aromatic either aromatic or non-aromatic ring systems. The non-aromatic ring systems may be mono- or polyunsaturated. Preferred carbocycles include but are not limited to cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexyl, cyclohexenyl, cycloheptanyl, cycloheptenyl, phenyl, indanyl, indenyl, benzocyclobutanyl, dihydronaphthyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, naphthyl, decahydronaphthyl, benzocycloheptanyl and benzocycloheptenyl.

Description of Biological Properties


BTK Assay


An HTRF assay (Cisbio KinEASE-TK cat #62TK0PEC) was performed to quantitate the ability of test compounds to inhibit BTK mediated phosphorylation of substrate. Assays were assembled in 384 well plates where 6 nM of full-length human His-tagged BTK (Life Technologies cat # PV3587) and test compound at varying concentrations were preincubated for 15 minutes at 28° C. Then, 1 uM of TK substrate-biotin and 30 uM ATP were added and incubated for an additional 30 minutes at 28° C. Phospohrylation was detected by adding 62.5 nM Streptavidin-XL665 and TK-Antibody Cryptate diluted 1:100 in HTRF detection buffer (Cisbio cat #62SDBRDF) and incubated for 60 minutes at RT. The plate was read on an Envision plate reader and the fluorescence is measured at 620 nm (cryptate) and 665 nm (XL665). A ratio is calculated (665/620) and converted to POC relative to control and blank wells.


Assay Buffer:


50 mM HEPES (Invitrogen #15630), 0.01% Brij-35 (sigma # B4184), 10 mM MgCl2 (Sigma M1028), 1 mM EGTA (Ambion AM9262) and 100 uM sodium orthovanedate (Sigma S6508), 1 mM DTT (Sigma D5545) and 10 nM supplement enzyme buffer (Cisbio cat #61SEBALB).


Preferred compounds for the treatment of autoimmune disorders exhibit selective inhibition of BTK over other kinases such as EGFR. The compounds described herein show a range of selectivities against EGFR as measured in cellular assays (BTK activity measured by CD69 expression in primary CD19+ cells; EGFR activity measured by EGFR phosphorylation in A431 cells). See Table II.

Inhibition of B-Cell Activation Measured by CD69 Expression


Primary CD19+ cells were purified from healthy frozen peripheral blood mononuclear cells (AllCells, Emeryville, Calif.) and negatively selected by magnetic separation, >97% purity (Stemcell Technologies, Vancouver, Calif.). Cells were collected and plated in a 96 flat bottom plate at a concentration of 2×105/well in RPMI media containing 10% FBS, rested for 1 hour at 37° c. Cells were treated with inhibitor in duplicates or vehicle control in 1% DMSO final concentration for 1 hour at 37° C., 5% CO2. Cells were then stimulated with 12.5 ug/ml Goat F(ab′)2 anti-human IgD (SouthernBiotech, Birmingham, Ala.) for 18-24 hours at 37° C., 5% CO2. Cells were collected and stained for APC-CD19, clone HIB19 and PE-CD69, clone FN50 (antibodies purchased from BD Bioscience, San Jose, Calif.). B cells were analyzed by flow cytometry using a BD LSRII or BD FACsCanto Flow Cytometer. Viable cells were gated, and CD69 percentage was determined using FlowJo software.


Inhibition of EGFR Autophosphorylation in A431 Human Epithelial Cells Stimulated with Epithelial Growth Factor


A431 cells (ATCC # CRL-1555 FZ) are thawed and plated in DMEM containing 10% FBS in a 384-well tissue culture treated plate at 15,000 cells/well. After incubating for 24 hours at 37° C., 5% CO2, the cells are treated with test compound (1% DMSO final concentration) and incubated for 16 hours at 37° C., 5% CO2. EGF (Millipore, 01-107) is added at a final concentration of 60 ng/mL and incubated for 10 minutes. The medium is removed, the cells are lysed, and phospho EGFR is measured (Meso Scale Diagnostics, N31CB-1).


Therapeutic Use

On the basis of their biological properties the compounds of formula (I) according to the invention, or their tautomers, racemates, enantiomers, diastereomers, mixtures thereof and the salts of all the above-mentioned forms are suitable for treating autoimmune and allergic disorders in that they exhibit good inhibitory effect upon BTK.


Such diseases include for example: rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythromatosis, scleroderma, asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic eczema, B cell lymphoma, multiple sclerosis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, graft versus host disease, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and uveitis.


The compounds of formula (I) may be used on their own or in combination with other active substances according to the invention, optionally also in combination with other pharmacologically active substances.


Suitable preparations include for example tablets, capsules, suppositories, solutions—particularly solutions for injection (s.c., i.v., i.m.) and infusion—elixirs, emulsions or dispersible powders. The content of the pharmaceutically active compound(s) should be in the range from 0.1 to 90 wt.-%, preferably 0.5 to 50 wt.-% of the composition as a whole, i.e. in amounts which are sufficient to achieve the dosage range specified below. The doses specified may, if necessary, be given several times a day.


Suitable tablets may be obtained, for example, by mixing the active substance(s) with known excipients, for example inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or lactose, disintegrants such as corn starch or alginic acid, binders such as starch or gelatine, lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc and/or agents for delaying release, such as carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate, or polyvinyl acetate. The tablets may also comprise several layers.


Coated tablets may be prepared accordingly by coating cores produced analogously to the tablets with substances normally used for tablet coatings, for example collidone or shellac, gum arabic, talc, titanium dioxide or sugar. To achieve delayed release or prevent incompatibilities the core may also consist of a number of layers. Similarly the tablet coating may consist of a number of layers to achieve delayed release, possibly using the excipients mentioned above for the tablets.


Syrups or elixirs containing the active substances or combinations thereof according to the invention may additionally contain a sweetener such as saccharine, cyclamate, glycerol or sugar and a flavour enhancer, e.g. a flavouring such as vanillin or orange extract. They may also contain suspension adjuvants or thickeners such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, wetting agents such as, for example, condensation products of fatty alcohols with ethylene oxide, or preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates.


Solutions for injection and infusion are prepared in the usual way, e.g. with the addition of isotonic agents, preservatives such as p-hydroxybenzoates, or stabilisers such as alkali metal salts of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, optionally using emulsifiers and/or dispersants, whilst if water is used as the diluent, for example, organic solvents may optionally be used as solvating agents or dissolving aids, and transferred into injection vials or ampoules or infusion bottles.


Capsules containing one or more active substances or combinations of active substances may for example be prepared by mixing the active substances with inert carriers such as lactose or sorbitol and packing them into gelatine capsules.


Suitable suppositories may be made for example by mixing with carriers provided for this purpose such as neutral fats or polyethyleneglycol or the derivatives thereof.


Excipients which may be used include, for example, water, pharmaceutically acceptable organic solvents such as paraffins (e.g. petroleum fractions), vegetable oils (e.g. groundnut or sesame oil), mono- or polyfunctional alcohols (e.g. ethanol or glycerol), carriers such as e.g. natural mineral powders (e.g. kaolins, clays, talc, chalk), synthetic mineral powders (e.g. highly dispersed silicic acid and silicates), sugars (e.g. cane sugar, lactose and glucose), emulsifiers (e.g. lignin, spent sulphite liquors, methylcellulose, starch and polyvinylpyrrolidone) and lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc, stearic acid and sodium lauryl sulphate).


The preparations are administered by the usual methods, preferably by oral or transdermal route, most preferably by oral route. For oral administration the tablets may of course contain, apart from the above-mentioned carriers, additives such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate together with various additives such as starch, preferably potato starch, gelatine and the like. Moreover, lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulphate and talc may be used at the same time for the tabletting process. In the case of aqueous suspensions the active substances may be combined with various flavour enhancers or colourings in addition to the excipients mentioned above.


For parenteral use, solutions of the active substances with suitable liquid carriers may be used.


The dosage for intravenous use is from 1-1000 mg per hour, preferably between 5 and 500 mg per hour.


However, it may sometimes be necessary to depart from the amounts specified, depending on the body weight, the route of administration, the individual response to the drug, the nature of its formulation and the time or interval over which the drug is administered. Thus, in some cases it may be sufficient to use less than the minimum dose given above, whereas in other cases the upper limit may have to be exceeded. When administering large amounts it may be advisable to divide them up into a number of smaller doses spread over the day.


All patent and non-patent documents or literature cited in this application are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
