BACKGROUND

The present invention covers heteroarylbenzimidazole compounds of general formula (I) which inhibit Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and/or IκB kinase epsilon (IKKε).


Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and IκB kinase epsilon (IKKε) are two non-canonical IκB kinases (IKKs). They play crucial roles in interferon regulatory factor (IRF) and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) signaling cascades. TBK1 and IKKε share 49% identity and 65% similarity with each other and the kinase domains are 27% identical to IKKα and IKKβ (Shen R R & Hahn W C (2011) Emerging roles for the non-canonical IKKs in cancer. Oncogene 30(6):631-641). Both IKKε and TBK1 are comprised of an N-terminal kinase domain, an ubiquitin-like domain, a C-terminal LZ and a HLH motif (Larabi A, et al. (2013) Crystal structure and mechanism of activation of TANK-binding kinase 1. Cell reports 3(3):734-746). Despite their similarity in structure, TBK1 and IKKε exhibit differential expression patterns. TBK1, like IKKα and IKKβ, is ubiquitously expressed. In contrast, IKKε expression is restricted to particular tissue compartments, with highest levels detected in lymphoid tissues, peripheral blood lymphocytes and the pancreas. Various epithelial-derived cell lines also exhibit IKKε expression (reviewed in Shen R R & Hahn W C (2011) Emerging roles for the non-canonical IKKs in cancer. Oncogene 30(6):631-641).


TBK1 was originally identified as an IKK-related Serine/Threonine kinase which, in complex with IKKε, induces the transcription of IFN-I genes as part of the anti-viral innate immune response. Within this pathway, TBK1 resides downstream of Toll-like receptors and has as natural substrates the transcription factors IRF3 and IRF7 which, upon phosphorylation by TBK1, translocate to the nucleus and trigger IFN-I gene transcription (Han K J, et al. (2004) Mechanisms of the TRIF-induced interferon-stimulated response element and NF-kappaB activation and apoptosis pathways. The Journal of biological chemistry 279(15): 15652-15661).


Although TBK1 and IKKε are not a part of the classical IKKα/β/γ signaling complex, these kinases were originally characterized as activators of NF-κB and target multiple NF-κB members and effectors. Both IKK-related kinases phosphorylate IκBα at one of the two-serine residues typically targeted on IκBα (Shen R R & Hahn W C (2011) Emerging roles for the non-canonical IKKs in cancer. Oncogene 30(6):631-641).


TBK1 and IKKε have been linked to the pathophysiology of several diseases and represent promising potential targets for drug development as is demonstrated by several drug finding projects, both from academia and from the pharmaceutical industry as reviewed recently by Yu and colleagues (Yu T, et al. (2015) TBK1 inhibitors: a review of patent literature (2011-2014). Expert opinion on therapeutic patents: 1-12).


Recent literature data have provided clear and robust evidence for a role of TBK1 and IKKε in cancer biology.


IKKε was found to be amplified in breast cancer lines and breast carcinomas. Subsequent experiments identified IKKε as a breast cancer oncogene (Boehm J S, et al. (2007) Integrative genomic approaches identify IKBKE as a breast cancer oncogene. Cell 129(6):1065-1079). Work by other groups further confirmed the role of IKKε (and TBK1) in breast cancer (e.g. Barbie T U, et al. (2014) Targeting an IKBKE cytokine network impairs triple-negative breast cancer growth. The Journal of clinical investigation 124(12):5411-5423, Jiang Z, Liu J C, Chung P E, Egan S E, & Zacksenhaus E (2014) Targeting HER2(+) breast cancer: the TBK1/IKKepsilon axis. Oncoscience 1(2):180-182) and demonstrated a role in glioma (Guan H, et al. (2011) IKBKE is over-expressed in glioma and contributes to resistance of glioma cells to apoptosis via activating NF-kappaB. The Journal of pathology 223(3):436-445).


TBK1 is up-regulated under hypoxic conditions and was shown to behave as a pro-angiogenic factor (Korherr C, et al. (2006) Identification of proangiogenic genes and pathways by high-throughput functional genomics: TBK1 and the IRF3 pathway. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 103(11):4240-4245). Moreover, TBK1 over-expression in HUVEC cells induces the secretion of pro-angiogenic factors via the activation of IRF3 (Korherr C, et al. (2006) Identification of proangiogenic genes and pathways by high-throughput functional genomics: TBK1 and the IRF3 pathway. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 103(11):4240-4245). In addition, TBK1 has been identified as a key factor linking innate immune signaling to tumor cell survival via the small GTPase and Ras effector RalB (Chien Y, et al. (2006) RalB GTPase-mediated activation of the IkappaB family kinase TBK1 couples innate immune signaling to tumor cell survival. Cell 127(1):157-170).


Apparently, Ras-transformed cancer cells are addicted to TBK1-induced survival signals, and TBK1 kinase inhibition may therefore constitute a tumor cell-specific approach to cancer treatment. In line with this, TBK1 was shown to be essential for cell lines with activated KRas. This links RalB mediated activation of TBK1 to the generation of specific NF-κB-regulated survival signals downstream of oncogenic KRas (Barbie D A, et al. (2009) Systematic RNA interference reveals that oncogenic KRAS-driven cancers require TBK1. Nature 462(7269):108-112). Moreover, it was shown that an autocrine circuit between KRAs via TBK1/IKKε to CCL5 and IL-6 secretion could be responsible for an autostimulatory growth stimulus of tumor cells. This was shown for lung adenocarcinomas, especially for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) (Zhu Z, et al. (2014) Inhibition of KRAS-driven tumorigenicity by interruption of an autocrine cytokine circuit. Cancer discovery 4(4):452-465).


Besides its role in cancer, TBK1 has been proposed as a target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, inflammation and other diseases. TBK1 is involved in regulating rheumatoid synovitis and also acts as a key regulator in neuroinflammation, microvascular inflammation and gastritis. Additional potential indications include obesity and type 2 diabetes. TBK1 signaling has also been shown to be involved in mediating normal tension glaucoma, familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia diseases. In the field of cancer, there are an increasing number of reports demonstrating that TBK1 mediates cell apoptosis and proliferation in cancer cell lines, especially those that depend on oncogenic KRAS expression. Additionally, it was shown that TBK1 plays a key role in maintaining drug resistance in prostate cancer (PCa) cells by interaction with mammalian target of rapamycin and inhibiting its function, which can induce cell-cycle arrest in PCa cells. Also, several reports have suggested that TBK1 is involved in breast cancer regulation, especially in human HER2-positive breast cancer cells. TBK1 silencing decreased the expression of epithelial markers and increased the expression of mesenchymal markers in ERα (estrogen receptor)-positive breast cancer cells. Furthermore, TBK1 plays a significant role in radiation-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Additionally, TBK1-dependent mechanism for NF-κB signaling pathway contributes to autophagy addiction in K-Ras-driven non-small-cell lung cancer cells (reviewed in Yu T, et al. (2015) TBK1 inhibitors: a review of patent literature (2011-2014). Expert opinion on therapeutic patents: 1-12).

The term “Isotopic variant of the compound of general formula (I)” is defined as a compound of general formula (I) exhibiting an unnatural proportion of one or more of the isotopes that constitute such a compound.


The expression “unnatural proportion” means a proportion of such isotope which is higher than its natural abundance. The natural abundances of isotopes to be applied in this context are described in “Isotopic Compositions of the Elements 1997”, Pure Appl. Chem., 70(1), 217-235, 1998.


Examples of such isotopes include stable and radioactive isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, 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, 125I, 129I and 131I, respectively.


With respect to the treatment and/or prophylaxis of the disorders specified herein the isotopic variant(s) of the compounds of general formula (I) preferably contain deuterium (“deuterium-containing compounds of general formula (I)”). Isotopic variants of the compounds of general formula (I) in which one or more radioactive isotopes, such as 3H or 14C, are incorporated are useful e.g. in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. These isotopes are particularly preferred for the ease of their incorporation and detectability. Positron emitting isotopes such as 18F or 11C may be incorporated into a compound of general formula (I). These isotopic variants of the compounds of general formula (I) are useful for in vivo imaging applications. Deuterium-containing and 13C-containing compounds of general formula (I) can be used in mass spectrometry analyses in the context of preclinical or clinical studies.


Isotopic variants of the compounds of general formula (I) can generally be prepared by methods known to a person skilled in the art, such as those described in the schemes and/or examples herein, by substituting a reagent for an isotopic variant of said reagent, preferably for a deuterium-containing reagent. Depending on the desired sites of deuteration, in some cases deuterium from D2O can be incorporated either directly into the compounds or into reagents that are useful for synthesizing such compounds. Deuterium gas is also a useful reagent for incorporating deuterium into molecules. Catalytic deuteration of olefinic bonds and acetylenic bonds is a rapid route for incorporation of deuterium. Metal catalysts (i.e. Pd, Pt, and Rh) in the presence of deuterium gas can be used to directly exchange deuterium for hydrogen in functional groups containing hydrocarbons. A variety of deuterated reagents and synthetic building blocks are commercially available from companies such as for example C/D/N Isotopes, Quebec, Canada; Cambridge Isotope Laboratories Inc., Andover, Mass., USA; and CombiPhos Catalysts, Inc., Princeton, N.J., USA.


The term “deuterium-containing compound of general formula (I)” is defined as a compound of general formula (I), in which one or more hydrogen atom(s) is/are replaced by one or more deuterium atom(s) and in which the abundance of deuterium at each deuterated position of the compound of general formula (I) is higher than the natural abundance of deuterium, which is about 0.015%. Particularly, in a deuterium-containing compound of general formula (I) the abundance of deuterium at each deuterated position of the compound of general formula (I) is higher than 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% or 80%, preferably higher than 90%, 95%, 96% or 97%, even more preferably higher than 98% or 99% at said position(s). It is understood that the abundance of deuterium at each deuterated position is independent of the abundance of deuterium at other deuterated position(s).


The selective incorporation of one or more deuterium atom(s) into a compound of general formula (I) may alter the physicochemical properties (such as for example acidity [C. L. Perrin, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2007, 129, 4490], basicity [C. L. Perrin et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2005, 127, 9641], lipophilicity [B. Testa et al., Int. J. Pharm., 1984, 19(3), 271]) and/or the metabolic profile of the molecule and may result in changes in the ratio of parent compound to metabolites or in the amounts of metabolites formed. Such changes may result in certain therapeutic advantages and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Reduced rates of metabolism and metabolic switching, where the ratio of metabolites is changed, have been reported (A. E. Mutlib et al., Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol., 2000, 169, 102). These changes in the exposure to parent drug and metabolites can have important consequences with respect to the pharmacodynamics, tolerability and efficacy of a deuterium-containing compound of general formula (I). In some cases deuterium substitution reduces or eliminates the formation of an undesired or toxic metabolite and enhances the formation of a desired metabolite (e.g. Nevirapine: A. M. Sharma et al., Chem. Res. Toxicol., 2013, 26, 410; Efavirenz: A. E. Mutlib et al., Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol., 2000, 169, 102). In other cases the major effect of deuteration is to reduce the rate of systemic clearance. As a result, the biological half-life of the compound is increased. The potential clinical benefits would include the ability to maintain similar systemic exposure with decreased peak levels and increased trough levels. This could result in lower side effects and enhanced efficacy, depending on the particular compound's pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship. ML-337 (C. J. Wenthur et al., J. Med. Chem., 2013, 56, 5208) and Odanacatib (K. Kassahun et al., WO2012/112363) are examples for this deuterium effect. Still other cases have been reported in which reduced rates of metabolism result in an increase in exposure of the drug without changing the rate of systemic clearance (e.g. Rofecoxib: F. Schneider et al., Arzneim. Forsch./Drug. Res., 2006, 56, 295; Telaprevir: F. Maltais et al., J. Med. Chem., 2009, 52, 7993). Deuterated drugs showing this effect may have reduced dosing requirements (e.g. lower number of doses or lower dosage to achieve the desired effect) and/or may produce lower metabolite loads.


A compound of general formula (I) may have multiple potential sites of attack for metabolism. To optimize the above-described effects on physicochemical properties and metabolic profile, deuterium-containing compounds of general formula (I) having a certain pattern of one or more deuterium-hydrogen exchange(s) can be selected. Particularly, the deuterium atom(s) of deuterium-containing compound(s) of general formula (I) is/are attached to a carbon atom and/or is/are located at those positions of the compound of general formula (I), which are sites of attack for metabolizing enzymes such as e.g. cytochrome P450.


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.


By “stable compound” or “stable structure” is meant a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.


The compounds of the present invention optionally contain one or more asymmetric centres, depending upon the location and nature of the various substituents desired. It is possible that one or more asymmetric carbon atoms are present in the (R) or (S) configuration, which can result in racemic mixtures in the case of a single asymmetric centre, and in diastereomeric mixtures in the case of multiple asymmetric centres. In certain instances, it is possible that asymmetry 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.


Separated, pure or partially purified isomers and stereoisomers or racemic or diastereomeric mixtures of the compounds of the present 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 liberated from the separated diastereomeric salts. A different process for separation of optical isomers involves the use of chiral chromatography (e.g., HPLC columns using a chiral phase), with or without conventional derivatisation, optimally chosen to maximise the separation of the enantiomers. Suitable HPLC columns using a chiral phase are commercially available, such as those manufactured by Daicel, e.g., Chiracel OD and Chiracel OJ, for example, among many others, which are all routinely selectable. Enzymatic separations, with or without derivatisation, are also useful. The optically active compounds of the present invention can likewise be obtained by chiral syntheses utilizing optically active starting materials.


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


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


Further, it is possible for the compounds of the present invention to exist as tautomers. For example, any compound of the present invention can exist, as shown below, as a tautomer 1, or tautomer 2 or tautomer 3, or even a mixture in any amount of the three tautomers, namely:

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, it is possible for the compounds of the present invention to exist in free form, e.g. as a free base, or as a free acid, or as a zwitterion, or to 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, which is customarily used in pharmacy, or which is used, for example, for isolating or purifying the compounds of the present invention.

In addition to the routes described below, also other routes may be used to synthesise the compounds of the general formula (I), 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, modification of any of the substituents, such as R1, R2, R3, R4 or R5, or of substituents contained therein, such as R10 in R2, 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, alkylation, acylation, sulfonylation, metallation, metal catalysed coupling reactions, exemplified by but not limited to Suzuki, Sonogashira, Negishi and Ullmann couplings, ester saponifications, amide coupling reactions, formation and cleavage of ethers, reductive aminations, hydrogenolyses e.g. of halogen atoms bonded to aromatic rings, Mitsunobu type reactions of an alcohol with a nucleophile in the presence of an dialkyl azodicarboxylate, such as DIAD (diisopropyl azodicarboxylate) and a tertiary phosphine, such as triphenylphosphine, 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 modification 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, 4th edition, Wiley 2006).


Compounds of formula (I), and the intermediates used in their synthesis, may be chiral, e.g. in case of R9 being different from hydrogen, and may then be formed as mixtures of stereoisomers. Said mixtures of stereoisomers can be separated by methods well known the person skilled in the art, such as preparative chromatography, such as high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) or superfluid chromatography (SFC) using chiral stationary phases, which are commercially available in considerable variety. If compounds of formula (I), or intermediates used in their synthesis, are sufficiently basic or acidic, stereoisomeric mixtures, in particular mixtures of enantiomers, can be resolved using chiral, enantiomerically pure acids, such as tartaric acid and 2,3-bis(benzoyloxy)succinic acid, or chiral, enantiomerically pure amines, such as 1-phenylethylamine or strychnine, respectively, via the formation of diastereomeric salts which can be separated.


The general synthesis strategy to compounds of the general formula (I) is outlined in Scheme 1. As starting materials, diaminobenzene derivatives of formula (II), in which R3 is as defined for the compounds of general formula (I) and X represents a group selected from a boronic acid, a boronic acid ester, a —CN group, a —C(═O)—O—RE group, in which RE represents a C1-C3-alkyl group, and a R1 group which is as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and aminopyridine derivatives of formula (III), in which R4 and R5 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which Y represents a group selected from —CH2—O-PG1, in which PG1 represents a protective group suitable for hydroxy groups, as present e.g. in alcohols, as defined supra, such as tert-butyl dimethylsilyl, a R2 group, which is as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and a G1 group, in which R9 is as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which “#” indicates that the piperazine ring may be either unsubstituted or bridged, or substituted with one or two methyl groups, according to the definition of R2 in general formula (I), can be employed.


In a first key step, said aminopyridines of formula (III) can be reacted with di-1H-imidazol-1-ylmethanethione or thiophosgene, in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1H-imidazole, in a solvent such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide or dioxane, followed by the addition of diaminobenzene derivatives of formula (II), to give thioureas of formulae (IV) and (IVa) as regioisomeric mixtures. Said thioureas of formulae (IV) and (IVa) can be, in a second key step, further converted into benzimidazole derivatives of formula (V) by reaction with a carbodiimide, such as N,N′-dipropan-2-ylcarbodiimide or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, or a salt thereof, in an aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbon, such as dichloromethane and chloroform, as a solvent. Noteworthily, regioisomeric mixtures of thioureas of formulae (IV) and (IVa) give rise to a homogeneous benzimidazole isomer as a result of imidazole tautomery.

Dependent of the nature of the X and Y groups, compounds of formula (V) can either already constitute compounds of the general formula (I), or various synthetic intermediates thereof. More detailed synthesis routes to compounds of general formula (I) are given below, as outlined in the Schemes 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f, 3a, 3b, 3c, 4 and 5.


Schemes 2a and 2d outline an approach to compounds of general formula (I), in which R1 can be introduced in a late step by means of the well-known Suzuki coupling, from nitroaniline derivatives of formula (VI), diaminobenzene derivatives of formula (VII), aminopyridine derivatives of formula (VIII), and piperazine derivatives of formula (IX).

Nitroanilines of formula (VI), in which R3 is as defined for compounds of general formula (I), and in which LG1 represents a leaving group, preferably chloride, bromide or iodide, can be converted, using methods well known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. by reacting with a suitable boron reagent, such as 4,4,4′,4′,5,5,5′,5′-octamethyl-2,2′-bi-1,3,2-dioxaborolane, in the presence of a palladium catalyst, such as bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-palladium(II)dichloride dichloromethane adduct, to give boronic acid derivatives of formula (X).


Said boronic acid derivatives of formula (X) may be a boronic acid (RB═—H) or an ester of the boronic acid, e.g. its isopropyl ester (RB═C1-C4-alkyl, e.g. —CH(CH3)2), or an ester derived from a diol such as pinacol in which the boronic acid intermediate forms a cyclic boronic ester, such as a 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (RB—RB═C2-C6-alkylene, e.g. —C(CH3)2—C(CH3)2—). Many boronic acids and their esters are commercially available and well-known to the person skilled in the art; see e.g. D. G. Hall, Boronic Acids, 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, ISBN 3-527-30991-8 and references cited therein. Subsequently, boronic acid derivatives of formula (X) can be reduced to the corresponding diamines of formula (XI) by methods well known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. by palladium catalysed hydrogenolysis.


In an analogous fashion as described supra for the conversion of compounds of formula (VI) into boronic acid derivatives of formula (X), diaminobenzene derivatives of formula (VII), in which R3 is as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which LG1 represents a leaving group, preferably chloride, bromide or iodide, can be converted into compounds of formula (XI) in one step. Preferably, dichloropalladium-tricyclohexylphosphane (1:2) is used as a catalyst in this Suzuki coupling reaction.


Further, aminopyridines of formula (VIII), in which R4, R5 and R9 are as defined for compounds of general formula (I), and in which LG2 represents a leaving group, preferably chloride or bromide, can be reacted with piperazine derivatives of formula (IX), in which R10 is as defined for compounds of general formula (I), and in which “#” indicates that the piperazine ring may be either unsubstituted or bridged, or substituted with one or two methyl groups, according to the definition of R2 in general formula (I), to give intermediates of formula (XII). The aminopyridines of formula (VIII) may be employed as free bases or as salts; furthermore, their amino group can optionally be protected by a protective group which is removed on later stage. Suitable groups for protection of amines, e.g. the phthalimido group, and methods for their introduction and removal, are well known to the person skilled in the art, see e.g. T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 4th edition, Wiley 2006.


The reader is further referred to the fact that the definition of R10 for compounds of general formula (I) includes some protective groups, such as tert-butoxycarbonyl, which may be cleaved off and replaced by another R10 group at a later stage.


Starting materials of formulae (VI), (VII) (VIII) and (IX) are well known to the person skilled in the art and are commercially available in considerable variety, or can be prepared by well-known synthesis methods. Special reference is being made to protected aminopyridine derivatives of formula (XV), which are useful in particular for the preparation of compounds of general formula (I) and advanced intermediates thereof, in which R9 is different from a hydrogen atom. They can be prepared according to Scheme 2b from aminopyridines of formula (XIII), in which R4, R5 and R9 are as described for the compounds of general formula (I) with the proviso that R9 is different from a hydrogen atom, by reaction with benzene-1,2-dicarbonyl dichloride (also known as phthaloyl chloride) in the presence of a base, e.g. an aliphatic tertiary amine such as triethylamine, in an aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbon, such as dichloromethane, as a solvent, to give phthalimide derivatives of formula (XIV). Said phthalimide derivatives can subsequently be reacted with reagents suitable for the introduction of LG2, such as N-halo succinimides, e.g. N-bromo succinimide, and a radical starter, such as 2,2′-(E)-diazene-1,2-diylbis(2-methylpropanenitrile) (also known as AIBN), to give compounds of formula (XV), in which R4, R5 and R9 are as described for the compounds of general formula (I) with the proviso that R9 is different from hydrogen, and in which LG2 represents a leaving group, preferably chloride or bromide.

Diamines of formula (XIa), in which R3 represents a C1-C4-alkoxy group, thus constituting a sub-compartment of formula (XI), can be advantageously approached using the modified approach shown below in Scheme 2c. Commercially available 2-bromo-5-nitrophenol (XVI) can be reacted with 1,1,1-tri-(C1-C3-alkyl)methylhydrazinium salts such as 1,1,1-trimethylhydrazinium iodide in the presence of a suitable base, such as an alkali alkoxide, such as sodium 2-methylbutan-2-olate, to give 2-amino-6-bromo-3-nitrophenol (XVII), which in turn can be reacted with a compound of formula RA-LG3, in which RA represents a C1-C4-alkyl group, and LG3 represents a leaving group, preferably bromide or iodide, in the presence of a base such as sodium carbonate in a solvent such as acetonitrile or N,N-dimethylformamide, to yield a phenyl ether compound of formula (XVIII). Said aryl ether compounds of formula (XVIII) can be converted into the corresponding boronic acid derivatives of formula (XIX), which may be a boronic acid (RB═—H) or an ester of the boronic acid, e.g. its isopropyl ester (RB═C1-C4-alkyl, e.g. —CH(CH3)2), or an ester derived from a diol such as pinacol in which the boronic acid intermediate forms a cyclic boronic ester, such as a 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (RB—RB═C2-C6-alkylene, e.g. —C(CH3)2—C(CH3)2—), in an analogous fashion as described supra for the conversion of compounds of formula (VI) into boronic acid derivatives of formula (X).


Subsequently, boronic acid derivatives of formula (XIX) can be reduced to the corresponding diamines of formula (XIa), in which R3 represents —ORA, i.e. C1-C4-alkoxy, by methods well known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. by palladium catalysed hydrogenolysis.

As outlined in Scheme 2d, infra, compounds of formula (XIIa), formula (XIIa) being equivalent to formula (XII) in Scheme 2a, can be reacted with di-1H-imidazol-1-ylmethanethione or thiophosgene, in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1H-imidazole, in a solvent such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide or dioxane, preferably dichloromethane, followed by the addition of diaminobenzene derivatives of formula (XI), to give thioureas of formulae (XX) and (XXa) as regioisomeric mixtures. Said thiourea derivatives can be further converted into benzimidazole derivatives of formula (XXI) by reaction with a carbodiimide of formula RD1—N═C═N—RD2 (or a salt thereof), in which RD1 and RD2 represent, independently from each other, a C1-C4-alkyl group optionally substituted with one N,N-dimethylamino group, preferably RD1 being ethyl and RD2 being 3-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl, or both RD1 and RD2 being isopropyl, in a halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon comprising 1, 2 or 3 carbon atoms and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 halogen atoms, preferably chlorine atoms, as a solvent, particularly preferred solvents being dichloromethane and chloroform. As mentioned supra, regioisomeric mixtures of thioureas of formulae (XX) and (XXa) give rise to a homogeneous benzimidazole isomer as a result of imidazole tautomery. In a final step, the resulting benzimidazole derivatives of formula (XXI) can be reacted with compounds of formula (XXII), in which R1 is as defined for compounds of general formula (I), and in which LG4 represents a leaving group, preferably chloride, bromide or iodide, in a Suzuki coupling to give compounds of general formula (I). Specific examples are described in the Experimental Section.

Said Suzuki coupling reaction is catalysed by palladium catalysts, e.g. by Pd(O) catalysts such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) [Pd(PPh3)4], tris(dibenzylideneacetone)di-palladium(0) [Pd2(dba)3], or by Pd(II) catalysts such as dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(II) [Pd(PPh3)2Cl2], dichloropalladium—tricyclohexylphosphane (1:2) and palladium(II) acetate in combination with triphenylphosphine or by [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium dichloride, in free form [Pd(dppf)Cl2] or as dichloromethane adduct [Pd(dppf)C2×CH2Cl2]. Preferred is the use of dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(II) [Pd(PPh3)2Cl2] in combination with triphenylphosphine or the use of [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium dichloride dichloromethane adduct [Pd(dppf)Cl2×CH2Cl2] as a catalyst.


The reaction is preferably carried out in a mixture of a solvent such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, dioxane, DMF, THF, or n-propanol with water and in the presence of a base such as aqueous potassium carbonate, aqueous sodium bicarbonate or potassium phosphate.


The reaction is performed at temperatures ranging from room temperature (i.e. 20° C.) to the boiling point of the solvent. Further on, the reaction can be performed at temperatures above the boiling point using pressure tubes and a microwave oven. (review: D. G. Hall, Boronic Acids, 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, ISBN 3-527-30991-8 and references cited therein).


The reaction is preferably completed after 1 to 36 hours of reaction time.


Compounds of formula (XXII) are well known to the person skilled in the art and are commercially available in considerable variety, or can be prepared by well-known synthesis methods. For the preparation of less common compounds of formula (XXII), the reader is also referred to the methods described in the Experimental section, see e.g. the protocols describing the syntheses of Compounds 07.04. and 08.06.


In a somewhat related approach, certain R1 groups such as 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl and 1,2,4-triazol-5-yl can be formed from acyclic precursor groups.


As shown in Scheme 2e, aminopyridine derivatives of formula (XXIV), in which R4, R5 and R9 are as defined for compounds of general formula (I), and in which PG1 represents a protective group suitable for hydroxy groups, as present e.g. in alcohols, as defined supra, such as tert-butyl dimethylsilyl, are reacted with di-1H-imidazol-1-ylmethanethione or thiophosgene, in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1H-imidazole, in dichloromethane as a solvent, followed by the addition of esters of 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid of formula (XXIII), in which R3 is as defined for compounds of general formula (I), and in which RE represents a C1-C3-alkyl group, to give thiourea derivatives of formulae (XXV) and (XXVa) as regioisomeric mixtures. Said thiourea derivatives can be further converted into benzimidazole derivatives of formula (XXVI) by reaction with a carbodiimide, such as N,N′-dipropan-2-ylcarbodiimide or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, or a salt thereof, in an aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane or chloroform as a solvent. As mentioned supra, regioisomeric mixtures of thioureas of formulae (XXV) and (XXVa) give rise to a homogeneous benzimidazole isomer as a result of imidazole tautomery.

The moiety —OPG1 present in formula (XXVI) is then converted into a group LG5, which is a leaving group as defined supra, preferably chloride, giving rise to compounds of formula (XXVII), by first cleaving off said protective group PG1 by a method known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. by treatment with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in case said PG1 is tert-butyl dimethylsilyl, followed by treatment e.g. with a halogenating agent such as thionyl chloride (SOCl2), phosphoroxychloride (POCl3), or phosphorus trichloride (PCl3), or with a sulfonyl chloride such as methylsulfonyl chloride. In a similar fashion as discussed in context of Scheme 2a, supra, said compounds of formula (XXVII) can be reacted with piperazine derivatives of formula (IX), in which R10 is as defined for compounds of general formula (I), and in which “#” indicates that the piperazine ring may be either unsubstituted or bridged, or substituted with one or two methyl groups, according to the definition of R2 in general formula (I), to give intermediates of formula (XXVIII).


Starting materials of formulae (XXIII) and (XXIV) are well known to the person skilled in the art and can be purchased commercially in many cases, or can be prepared by known methods.


As shown in Scheme 2f, the further elaboration of compounds of formula (XXVIIIa), which is equivalent to formula (XXVIII) in Scheme 2e, commences with the hydrolytic cleavage of the carboxylic ester moiety present in formulae (XXVIII) and (XXVIIa), using methodology well known to the person skilled in the art, such as by treatment with an aqueous alkali hydroxide, such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, in a solvent such as methanol, ethanol or tetrahydrofuran, or a mixture thereof, at elevated temperature, preferably between 40° C. and 80 t, to give carboxylic acids of formula (XXIX). Said carboxylic acids of formula (XXIX) can be subsequently reacted with compounds of formula (XXX), in which R7 is as defined for compounds of general formula (I), and in which Q represents —O— or —N(R6)—, in which, in turn, R6 is as defined for compounds of general formula (I), in the presence of a suitable coupling agent, such as benzotriazol-1-yl-oxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP), and a base, such as N,N′-diisopropyethylamine, to give intermediates of formula (XXXI). Cyclisation to compounds of formula (Ia), constituting a sub-compartment of general formula (I), can be accomplished by heating said compounds of formula (XXXI) in a mixture of an aliphatic alcohol of the formula C1-C4-alkyl-OH, such as n-propanol, and water, in the presence of an alkali acetate, such as sodium acetate or potassium acetate. Optionally, a carboxamide based solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide or N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one can be added as a co-solvent to enhance solubility of the reactants. Specific examples are described in the Experimental Section.


Compounds of formula (XXX) are well known to the person skilled in the art, and can be prepared using known methods, the reader is further referred to the protocols e.g. for the preparation of Compounds 18.01, 19.01, 20.01, and 42.02 in the Experimental Section.


In a similar fashion, R1=1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl can be elaborated from a cyano group, see Examples 22.01 and 22.02 and the corresponding precursors, e.g. Compounds 22.06 and 22.07, in the Experimental Section.


In a similar fashion, R1=1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl can be elaborated from a carboxy group, see e.g.


Compounds 126.01, 126.02 and 126.03, in the Experimental Section.

In an alternative approach, the benzimidazole core in formula (I) is constructed on late stage. This synthesis route proceeds via diamines of formula (XXXIV), the synthesis of which is outlined in Scheme 3a, and which can be prepared from nitroaniline derivatives of formula (XXXIII) by methods well known to the person skilled in the art, such as catalytic hydrogenolysis, e.g. by reacting an ethanolic solution of compounds of formula (XXXIII) with an atmosphere of hydrogen in the presence of palladium on carbon. Alternatively, diamines of formula (XXXIV) can be prepared by a Suzuki coupling, as discussed supra, from compounds of formula (VII) in which R3 is as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which LG1 represents a leaving group, preferably chloride, bromide or iodide (see Scheme 2a). Said nitroaniline derivatives of formula (XXXIII) can also be prepared by a Suzuki coupling as discussed supra, either employing boronic acid derivatives of formula (XXXII) and nitroaniline derivatives of formula (VI), cf. protocols of Compounds 39.01, 39.02 and 39.03. in the Experimental section, or employing boronic acid derivatives of formula (X) and compounds of formula (XXII). In said compounds of formulae (VI), (X), (XXII) and (XXXII), R1 and R3 are as defined for compounds of general formula (I), LG1 and LG4 represent, independently from each other, a leaving group, preferably chloride, bromide or iodide, and RB represents hydrogen, a C1-C4-alkyl group such as isopropyl, or RB—RB together form a C2-C6-alkylene group, such as a —C(CH3)2—C(CH3)2— group, giving rise e.g. to a 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane. The availability of compounds of formulae (VI), (VII), (X) and (XXII) is described supra; boronic acid derivatives of formula (XXXII) are well known to the person skilled in the art and are commercially available in considerable variety.


Diaminobenzene derivatives of formula (XXXIVa), constituting a sub-compartment of formula (XXXIV), can be prepared in one step from diaminobenzoate derivatives of formula (XXIII), in which R3 is as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which RE represents C1-C3-alkyl, by reaction with a compound of formula (XXX) (see also Scheme 2f) in a solvent such as dioxane in the presence of a base such as cesium carbonate. Diaminobenzoate derivatives of formula (XXIII) are known to the person skilled in the art, and can be prepared by known methods and can be purchased commercially in certain cases.

Within said synthesis routes to diamines of formula (XXXIV), R groups such as R6 or R7 groups, which constitute substituents of heteroaromatic R1 groups, can be modified as outlined in the initial paragraphs of this chapter. Instructive examples of such modifications can be readily found in the Experimental section, see e.g. the protocols of Compounds 36.01., 36.02., 36.03. and 36.04., for diamines of formula (XXXIV) in which R1 is a substituted pyrimidine, and e.g. the protocols of Compounds 39.01., 67.01., 68.01., 69.02., and 78.01., for diamines of formula (XXXIV) in which R1 is a pyrazole.


As shown below in Scheme 3b, diamines of formula (XXXIVb), in which R1 is as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which R3 represents a C1-C4-alkoxy group, said diamines constituting a further sub-compartment of formula (XXXIV), can be prepared advantageously in certain cases from aryl ether derivatives of formula (XVIII), in which RA represents a C1-C4-alkyl group (see Scheme 2c), by means of Suzuki coupling as discussed supra, by reacting with boronic acid derivatives of formula (XXXII) resulting in intermediates of formula (XXXV) followed by reduction of the nitro group, e.g. by palladium catalysed hydrogenolysis, to give diamines of formula (XXXIVb).

The further transformation of said diamine intermediates of formula (XXXIV) can be, as outlined in Scheme 3c, accomplished by reacting aminopyridines of formula (XIIa) (see Scheme 2d), in which R2, R4 and R5 are as defined for compounds of general formula (I), with di-1H-imidazol-1-ylmethanethione or thiophosgene, in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1H-imidazole, in a solvent such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide or dioxane, followed by the addition of diaminobenzene derivatives of formula (XXXIV), to give thioureas of formulae (XXXVI) and (XXXVIa) as regioisomeric mixture. Said thiourea derivatives can be further converted into compounds of general formula (I) by reaction with a carbodiimide of formula RD1-N═C═N—RD2 (or a salt thereof), in which RD1 and RD2 represent, independently from each other, a C1-C4-alkyl group optionally substituted with one N,N-dimethylamino group, preferably RD1 being ethyl and RD2 being 3-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl, or both RD1 and RD2 being isopropyl, in a halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon comprising 1, 2 or 3 carbon atoms and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 halogen atoms, preferably chlorine atoms, as a solvent, particularly preferred solvents being dichloromethane and chloroform. As mentioned supra, regioisomeric mixtures of thioureas of formulae (XXXVI) and (XXXVIa) give rise to a homogeneous benzimidazole isomer as a result of imidazole tautomery. Specific examples are described in the Experimental Section.

A third approach proceeds via late-stage elaboration of the R2 moiety by attaching its piperazine pharmacophore, using nucleophilic substitution. As shown in Scheme 4, aminopyridine derivatives of formula (XXIV) (see also Scheme 2e), in which R4, R5 and R9 are as defined for compounds of general formula (I), and in which PG1 represents a protective group suitable for hydroxy groups, as present e.g. in alcohols, as defined supra, such as tert-butyl dimethylsilyl, can be reacted with di-1H-imidazol-1-ylmethanethione or thiophosgene, in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1H-imidazole, a solvent such as dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide or dioxane, followed by the addition of diamine intermediates of formula (XXXIV) (see also Scheme 3a), in which R1 and R3 are as defined for compounds of general formula (I), to give thiourea derivatives of formulae (XXXVII) and (XXXVIIIa) as regioisomeric mixtures. Said thiourea derivatives can be further converted into benzimidazole derivatives of formula (XXXVIII) by reaction with a carbodiimide, such as N,N′-dipropan-2-ylcarbodiimide or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, or a salt thereof, in an aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane or chloroform as a solvent. As mentioned supra, regioisomeric mixtures of thioureas of formulae (XXXVII) and (XXXVIIa) give rise to a homogeneous benzimidazole isomer as a result of imidazole tautomery. The moiety —OPG1 present in formula (XXXVIII) is then converted into a group LG6, which is a leaving group as defined supra, preferably chloride or (methylsulfonyl)oxy, giving rise to compounds of formula (XXXIX), by first cleaving off said protective group PG1 by a method known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. by treatment with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in case said PG1 is tert-butyl dimethylsilyl, followed by treatment e.g. with a halogenating agent such as thionyl chloride (SOCl2), phosphoroxychloride (POCl3), or phosphorus trichloride (PCl3), or with a sulfonyl chloride such as methylsulfonyl chloride. In a similar fashion as discussed in context of Schemes 2a and 2e, supra, said compounds of formula (XXXIX) can be reacted with piperazine derivatives of formula (IX), in which R10 is as defined for compounds of general formula (I), and in which “#” indicates that the piperazine ring may be either unsubstituted or bridged, or substituted with one or two methyl groups, according to the definition of R2 in general formula (I), to give compounds of formula (Ib), which is equivalent to general formula (I). Specific examples are described in the Experimental Section.

The reader is referred to the fact that the definition of R10 for compounds of general formula (I) includes some protective groups, such as tert-butoxycarbonyl, which may be cleaved off and replaced by another R10 group at a later stage, thus particularly qualifying this synthesis route for late-stage diversification of R10, by e.g. acidic cleavage of said tert-butoxycarbonyl group, followed by reaction of the resulting free NH group with reagents (RG) suitable for the introduction of R10 groups, such as R12—C(═O)OH, R12—C(═O)-LG7, R13O—C(═O)-LG7, R14a(R14)N—C(═O)-LG7, R14a(R14)N—S(═O)2-LG7 and R15—S(═O)2-LG7, in which R12, R13, R14, R14a and R15 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which LG7 represents a leaving group as defined supra, preferably chloride, using methods well known to the person skilled in the art and as broadly exemplified in the Experimental Section.


This sequence is also outlined in Scheme 5, according to which tert-butoxycarbonyl derivatives of formula (Ic), in which R1, R3, R4, R5 and R9 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which “#” indicates that the piperazine ring may be either unsubstituted or bridged, or substituted with one or two methyl groups, according to the definition of R2 in general formula (I), rendering formula (Ic) yet another sub-set of general formula (I), can be converted into the corresponding monosubstituted piperazines of formula (XL), by treatment with a strong acid, preferably hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid. Said monosubstituted piperazines of formula (XL) can be formed as free bases or as salts, and can be reacted with one reagent selected from the group (RG) consisting of R12—C(═O)OH, R12—C(═O)-LG7, R13O—C(═O)-LG7, R14a(R14)N—C(═O)-LG7, R14a(R14)N—S(═O)2-LG7 and R15—S(═O)2-LG7, in which R12, R13, R14, R14a and R15 are as defined for the compounds of general formula (I), and in which LG7 represents a leaving group as defined supra, preferably chloride, as described in the preceding paragraph.

The present invention covers the intermediate compounds which are disclosed in the Example Section of this text, infra.


The present invention covers any sub-combination within any embodiment or aspect of the present invention of intermediate compounds of general formula (XL), supra.


The compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention can be converted to any salt, preferably pharmaceutically acceptable salts, as described herein, by any method which is known to the person skilled in the art. Similarly, any salt of a compound of general formula (I) of the present invention can be converted into the free compound, by any method which is known to the person skilled in the art.


Compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention demonstrate a valuable pharmacological spectrum of action which could not have been predicted. Compounds of the present invention have surprisingly been found to effectively inhibit TBK1 kinase and/or IKKε kinase and it is possible therefore that said compounds be used for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases, preferably hyperproliferative and/or inflammatory disorders in humans and animals.


Compounds of the present invention can be utilized to inhibit the activity of TBK1 and/or IKKε kinases. This method comprises administering to a mammal in need thereof, including a human, an amount of a compound of general formula (I) of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, isomer, polymorph, metabolite, hydrate, solvate or ester thereof, which is effective to treat hyperproliferative and/or inflammatory disorders.


Hyperproliferative disorders include, but are not limited to, for example: psoriasis, keloids, and other hyperplasias affecting the skin, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), solid tumours, such as cancers of the breast, respiratory tract, brain, reproductive organs, digestive tract, urinary tract, eye, liver, skin, head and neck, thyroid, parathyroid and their distant metastases. Those disorders also include lymphomas, sarcomas, and leukaemias.


Examples of breast cancers include, but are not limited to, invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, ductal carcinoma in situ, and lobular carcinoma in situ.


Examples of cancers of the respiratory tract include, but are not limited to, small-cell and non-small-cell lung carcinoma, as well as bronchial adenoma and pleuropulmonary blastoma.


Examples of brain cancers include, but are not limited to, brain stem and hypophtalmic glioma, cerebellar and cerebral astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, ependymoma, as well as neuroectodermal and pineal tumour.


Tumours of the male reproductive organs include, but are not limited to, prostate and testicular cancer.


Tumours of the female reproductive organs include, but are not limited to, endometrial, cervical, ovarian, vaginal, and vulvar cancer, as well as sarcoma of the uterus.


Tumours of the digestive tract include, but are not limited to, anal, colon, colorectal, oesophageal, gallbladder, gastric, pancreatic, rectal, small-intestine, and salivary gland cancers.


Tumours of the urinary tract include, but are not limited to, bladder, penile, kidney, renal pelvis, ureter, urethral and human papillary renal cancers.


Eye cancers include, but are not limited to, intraocular melanoma and retinoblastoma.


Examples of liver cancers include, but are not limited to, hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cell carcinomas with or without fibrolamellar variant), cholangiocarcinoma (intrahepatic bile duct carcinoma), and mixed hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma.


Skin cancers include, but are not limited to, squamous cell carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, malignant melanoma, Merkel cell skin cancer, and non-melanoma skin cancer.


Head-and-neck cancers include, but are not limited to, laryngeal, hypopharyngeal, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal cancer, lip and oral cavity cancer and squamous cell.


Lymphomas include, but are not limited to, AIDS-related lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and lymphoma of the central nervous system.


Sarcomas include, but are not limited to, sarcoma of the soft tissue, osteosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, lymphosarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma.


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


The present invention also provides methods of treating angiogenic disorders including diseases associated with excessive and/or abnormal angiogenesis.


Inappropriate and ectopic expression of angiogenesis can be deleterious to an organism. A number of pathological conditions are associated with the growth of extraneous blood vessels. These include, for example, diabetic retinopathy, ischemic retinal-vein occlusion, and retinopathy of prematurity [Aiello et al., New Engl. J. Med., 1994, 331, 1480; Peer et al., Lab. Invest., 1995, 72, 638], age-related macular degeneration (AMD) [Lopez et al., Invest. Opththalmol. Vis. Sci., 1996, 37, 855], neovascular glaucoma, psoriasis, retrolental fibroplasias, angiofibroma, inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), restenosis, in-stent restenosis, vascular graft restenosis, etc. In addition, the increased blood supply associated with cancerous and neoplastic tissue, encourages growth, leading to rapid tumour enlargement and metastasis. Moreover, the growth of new blood and lymph vessels in a tumour provides an escape route for renegade cells, encouraging metastasis and the consequence spread of the cancer. Thus, compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention can be utilized to treat and/or prevent any of the aforementioned angiogenesis disorders, for example by inhibiting and/or reducing blood vessel formation; by inhibiting, blocking, reducing, decreasing, etc. endothelial cell proliferation, or other types involved in angiogenesis, as well as causing cell death or apoptosis of such cell types.


In yet another aspect, the present invention provides methods of treating or preventing a disease or condition associated with inflammation, a metabolic disorder, infection or an immune disease or condition by administering to a subject having such a condition or disease, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound or composition of the invention. In one group of embodiments, diseases or conditions, including chronic diseases, of humans or other species can be treated or prevented by inhibition of IRF-3 phosphorylation through inhibition of TBK1 kinase and/or IKKε kinase. These diseases or conditions include (1) inflammatory or allergic diseases such as systemic anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity responses, drug allergies, insect sting allergies and food allergies, (2) inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, ileitis and enteritis, (3) vaginitis, (4) psoriasis and inflammatory dermatoses such as dermatitis, eczema, atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis and urticaria, (5) vasculitis, (6) spondyloarthropathies, (7) scleroderma, (8) asthma and respiratory allergic diseases such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, hypersensitivity lung diseases and the like, and (9) autoimmune diseases, such as arthritis (including rheumatoid and psoriatic), systemic lupus erythematosus, type I diabetes, glomerulonephritis and the like, (10) graft rejection (including allograft rejection and graft-v-host disease), (11) other diseases in which undesired inflammatory responses are to be inhibited, e.g., atherosclerosis, myositis, neurological disorders such as stroke, ischemic reperfusion injury, traumatic brain injury and closed-head injuries, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson's disease), multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, encephalitis, meningitis, osteoporosis, gout, hepatitis, nephritis, gall bladder disease, sepsis, sarcoidosis, conjunctivitis, otitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sinusitis and Behcet's syndrome; (12) metabolic disorders that are sensitive to inhibition of TNF or IL-1 signaling, such as obesity, type II diabetes, Syndrome X, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, hyperinsulinemia, cachexia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperhpidemia, dyslipidemia, mixed dyslipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia, eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia, (13) infectious diseases, e.g., bacteremia and septic shock; (14) cardiovascular disorders, such as acute heart failure, hypotension, hypertension, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, restenosis and vascular stenosis; and (15) immune diseases or conditions.


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, for example the management or care of a subject for the purpose of combating, alleviating, reducing, relieving, improving the condition of a disease or disorder, such as a carcinoma.


The compounds of the present invention can be used in particular in therapy and prevention, i.e. prophylaxis, of tumour growth and metastases, especially in solid tumours of all indications and stages with or without pre-treatment of the tumour growth.


Generally, the use of chemotherapeutic agents and/or anti-cancer agents in combination with a compound or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention will serve to:


yield better efficacy in reducing the growth of a tumour or even eliminate the tumour as compared to administration of either agent alone,


provide for the administration of lesser amounts of the administered chemotherapeutic agents,


provide for a chemotherapeutic treatment that is well tolerated in the patient with fewer deleterious pharmacological complications than observed with single agent chemotherapies and certain other combined therapies,


provide for treating a broader spectrum of different cancer types in mammals, especially humans,


provide for a higher response rate among treated patients,


provide for a longer survival time among treated patients compared to standard chemotherapy treatments,


provide a longer time for tumour progression, and/or


yield efficacy and tolerability results at least as good as those of the agents used alone, compared to known instances where other cancer agent combinations produce antagonistic effects.


In addition, the compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention can also be used in combination with radiotherapy and/or surgical intervention.


In a further embodiment of the present invention, the compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention may be used to sensitize a cell to radiation, i.e. treatment of a cell with a compound of the present invention prior to radiation treatment of the cell renders the cell more susceptible to DNA damage and cell death than the cell would be in the absence of any treatment with a compound of the present invention. In one aspect, the cell is treated with at least one compound of general formula (I) of the present invention.


Thus, the present invention also provides a method of killing a cell, wherein a cell is administered one or more compounds of the present invention in combination with conventional radiation therapy.


The present invention also provides a method of rendering a cell more susceptible to cell death, wherein the cell is treated with one or more compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention prior to the treatment of the cell to cause or induce cell death. In one aspect, after the cell is treated with one or more compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention, the cell is treated with at least one compound, or at least one method, or a combination thereof, in order to cause DNA damage for the purpose of inhibiting the function of the normal cell or killing the cell.


In other embodiments of the present invention, a cell is killed by treating the cell with at least one DNA damaging agent, i.e. after treating a cell with one or more compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention to sensitize the cell to cell death, the cell is treated with at least one DNA damaging agent to kill the cell. DNA damaging agents useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to, chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. cis platin), ionizing radiation (X-rays, ultraviolet radiation), carcinogenic agents, and mutagenic agents.


In other embodiments, a cell is killed by treating the cell with at least one method to cause or induce DNA damage. Such methods include, but are not limited to, activation of a cell signalling pathway that results in DNA damage when the pathway is activated, inhibiting of a cell signalling pathway that results in DNA damage when the pathway is inhibited, and inducing a biochemical change in a cell, wherein the change results in DNA damage. By way of a non-limiting example, a DNA repair pathway in a cell can be inhibited, thereby preventing the repair of DNA damage and resulting in an abnormal accumulation of DNA damage in a cell.


In one aspect of the invention, a compound of general formula (I) of the present invention is administered to a cell prior to the radiation or other induction of DNA damage in the cell. In another aspect of the invention, a compound of general formula (I) of the present invention is administered to a cell concomitantly with the radiation or other induction of DNA damage in the cell. In yet another aspect of the invention, a compound of general formula (I) of the present invention is administered to a cell immediately after radiation or other induction of DNA damage in the cell has begun.


In another aspect, the cell is in vitro. In another embodiment, the cell is in vivo.


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 present invention furthermore relates to a pharmaceutical composition which comprise at least one compound according to the invention, conventionally together with one or more pharmaceutically suitable excipient(s), and to their use according to the present invention.


In accordance with another aspect, the present invention covers pharmaceutical combinations, in particular medicaments, comprising at least one compound of general formula (I) of the present invention and at least one or more further active ingredients, in particular for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a hyperproliferative disorder, particularly cancer.


Particularly, the present invention covers a pharmaceutical combination, which comprises:

    • one or more first active ingredients, in particular compounds of general formula (I) as defined supra, and
    • one or more further active ingredients, in particular for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of a hyperproliferative disorder, more particularly cancer.


The term “combination” in the present invention is used as known to persons skilled in the art, it being possible for said combination to be a fixed combination, a non-fixed combination or a kit-of-parts.


A “fixed combination” in the present invention is used as known to persons skilled in the art and is defined as a combination wherein, for example, a first active ingredient, such as one or more compounds of general formula (I) of the present invention, and a further active ingredient are present together in one unit dosage or in one single entity. One example of a “fixed combination” is a pharmaceutical composition wherein a first active ingredient and a further active ingredient are present in admixture for simultaneous administration, such as in a formulation. Another example of a “fixed combination” is a pharmaceutical combination wherein a first active ingredient and a further active ingredient are present in one unit without being in admixture.


A non-fixed combination or “kit-of-parts” in the present invention is used as known to persons skilled in the art and is defined as a combination wherein a first active ingredient and a further active ingredient are present in more than one unit. One example of a non-fixed combination or kit-of-parts is a combination wherein the first active ingredient and the further active ingredient are present separately. It is possible for the components of the non-fixed combination or kit-of-parts to be administered separately, sequentially, simultaneously, concurrently or chronologically staggered.


The compounds of the present invention can be administered as the sole pharmaceutical agent or in combination with one or more other pharmaceutically active ingredients where the combination causes no unacceptable adverse effects. The present invention also covers such pharmaceutical combinations. For example, the compounds of the present invention can be combined with known agents for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of cancer.

Based upon standard laboratory techniques known to evaluate compounds useful for the treatment of hyperproliferative and/or inflammatory 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 active ingredients or medicaments that are used to treat these conditions, the effective dosage of the compounds of the present 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, it is possible for “drug holidays”, in which a patient is not dosed with a drug for a certain period of time, to be beneficial to the overall balance between pharmacological effect and tolerability. It is possible for a unit dosage to 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.

All reagents, for which the synthesis is not described in the experimental part, are either commercially available, or are known compounds or may be formed from known compounds by known methods by a person skilled in the art.


Wherever specified, NMR peak multiplicities and peak forms are stated as they appear in the spectra. Possible higher order effects have not been considered.


The 1H-NMR data of selected compounds and examples are listed in the form of 1H-NMR peaklists. For each signal peak the δ value in ppm is given, followed by the signal intensity, reported in round brackets. The δ value-signal intensity pairs from different peaks are separated by commas. Therefore, a peaklist is described by the general form: δ1 (intensity1), δ2 (intensity2), . . . δi (intensityi), . . . , 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 the peak picking routine, as described in the Research. Disclosure Database Number 605005, the parameter “MinimumHeight” can be adjusted between 1% and 4%. Depending on the chemical structure and/or depending on the concentration of the measured compound it may be reasonable to set the parameter “MinimumHeight”<1%.


The examples and compounds produced according to the methods of the invention may require purification. Purification of organic compounds is well known to the person skilled in the art and there may be several ways of purifying the same compound. In some cases, no purification may be necessary. In some cases, the examples and compounds may be purified by crystallisation. In some cases, impurities may be removed by trituration using a suitable solvent or solvent mixture. In some cases, the examples and compounds may be purified by chromatography, particularly flash chromatography, using for example pre-packed silica gel cartridges, e.g. Isolute® Flash silica gel (Separtis) or SNAP cartridges KP-Sil® (Biotage) for purifications referred to herein as “silicagel chromatography”; or using e.g. Isolute® Flash NH2 silica gel (Separtis) or SNAP cartridges KP-NH® (Biotage), for purifications referred to herein as “aminophase silicagel chromatography”, said cartridges being used in combination with a suitable chromatographic system such as a Flashmaster II (Separtis) or an Isolera® system (Biotage) and eluents such as, for example, gradients of hexane/ethyl acetate or DCM/methanol. In some cases, the examples and compounds may be purified by preparative HPLC using standard commercial HPLC equipment, such as a Waters autopurifier equipped with a diode array detector and/or on-line electrospray ionisation mass spectrometer in combination with a suitable pre-packed reverse phase column, and eluants such as, for example, gradients of water and acetonitrile which may contain additives such as trifluoroacetic acid, formic acid or aqueous ammonia.


In some cases, purification methods as described above can provide those compounds of the present invention which possess a sufficiently basic or acidic functionality in the form of a salt, such as, in the case of a compound of the present invention which is sufficiently basic, a trifluoroacetate or formate salt for example, or, in the case of a compound of the present invention which is sufficiently acidic, an ammonium salt for example. A salt of this type can either be transformed into its free base or free acid form, respectively, by various methods known to the person skilled in the art, or be used as salts in subsequent biological assays. It is to be understood that the specific form (e.g. salt, free base etc.) of a compound of the present invention as isolated and as described herein is not necessarily the only form in which said compound can be applied to a biological assay in order to quantify the specific biological activity.


Chemical names were generated using the ACD/Name software from ACD/Labs. In some cases generally accepted names of commercially available reagents were used in place of ACD/Name generated names.


Optical rotations were measured using a JASCO P2000 Polarimeter. Typical, a solution of the compound with a concentration of 1 mg/mL to 15 mg/mL was used for the measurement. The specific rotation [α]D was calculated according to the following formula:

To a stirred solution of (3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)methanol (3.41 g) in THF (60 ml) was added triphenylphosphine (8.79 g) and imidazole (2.85 g). The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and iodine (8.50 g) was added. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 16 h. An aqueous solution of disodium sulfurothioate (c=1M; 50 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic phases were washed with aqueous ammonium chloride solution, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and the solvent was carefully removed in vacuum (750 mBar, 45° C.) to give 6.48 g of the title compound as a crude product that was used for the next step without purification.


The Compounds in the following table 4 were synthesised according to the preparations, and from starting materials (SM), as specified for the respective Compounds in their table entries below.

Examples were tested in selected biological assays one or more times. When tested more than once, data are reported as either average values or as median values, wherein

    • the average value, also referred to as the arithmetic mean value, represents the sum of the values obtained divided by the number of times tested, and
    • the median value represents the middle number of the group of values when ranked in ascending or descending order. If the number of values in the data set is odd, the median is the middle value. If the number of values in the data set is even, the median is the arithmetic mean of the two middle values.


Examples were synthesized one or more times. When synthesized more than once, data from biological assays represent average values or median values calculated utilizing data sets obtained from testing of one or more synthetic batch.


The in vitro activity of the compounds of the present invention can be demonstrated in the following assays:


In Vitro Assay 1: TBK1 Low ATP Kinase Assay


TBK1-inhibitory activity of compounds of the present invention at a low ATP concentration after pre-incubation of enzyme and test compounds was quantified employing the TR-FRET-based TBK1 assay as described in the following paragraphs.


Recombinant full-length N-terminally His-tagged human TBK1, expressed in insect cells and purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, was purchased from Life Technologies (Cat. No PR5618B) and used as enzyme. As substrate for the kinase reaction biotinylated peptide biotin-Ahx-GDEDFSSFAEPG (C-terminus in amide form) was used which can be purchased e.g. from the company Biosyntan (Berlin-Buch, Germany).


For the assay 50 nl of a 100-fold concentrated solution of the test compound in DMSO was pipetted into either a black low volume 384well microtiter plate or a black 1536well microtiter plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany), 2 μl of a solution of TBK1 in aqueous assay buffer [50 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 10 mM MgCl2, 1.0 mM dithiothreitol, 0.05% (w/v) bovine serum albumine, 0.01% (v/v) Nonidet-P40 (Sigma), protease inhibitor mixture (“Complete w/o EDTA” from Roche, 1 tablet per 5 ml)] were added and the mixture was incubated for 15 min at 22° C. to allow pre-binding of the test compounds to the enzyme before the start of the kinase reaction. Then the kinase reaction was started by the addition of 3 μl of a solution of adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP, 16.7 μM=>final conc. in the 5 μl assay volume is 10 μM) and substrate (1.67 μM=>final conc. in the 5 μl assay volume is 1 μM) in assay buffer and the resulting mixture was incubated for a reaction time of 30 min at 22° C. The concentration of TBK1 was adjusted depending of the activity of the enzyme lot and was chosen appropriate to have the assay in the linear range, a typical concentration is 0.03 μg/ml. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 3 μl of a solution of TR-FRET detection reagents (0.33 μM streptavidine-XL665 [Cisbio Bioassays, Codolet, France], 2.5 nM anti-phosho-Serine anti-body [Merck Millipore, “STK antibody”, cat. #35-C2] and 1.25 nM LANCE EU-W1024 labeled anti-mouse IgG anti-body [Perkin-Elmer, product no. AD0077]) in an aqueous EDTA-solution (167 mM EDTA, 0.13% (w/v) bovine serum albumin in 100 mM HEPES/NaOH pH 7.5).


The resulting mixture was incubated 1 h at 22° C. to allow the formation of complex between the phosphorylated biotinylated peptide and the detection reagents. Subsequently the amount of phosphorylated substrate was evaluated by measurement of the resonance energy transfer from the Eu-chelate to the streptavidine-XL. Therefore, the fluorescence emissions at 620 nm and 665 nm after excitation at 350 nm was measured in a TR-FRET reader, e.g. a Pherastar (BMG Labtechnologies, Offenburg, Germany) or a Viewlux (Perkin-Elmer). The ratio of the emissions at 665 nm and at 622 nm was taken as the measure for the amount of phosphorylated substrate. The data were normalised (enzyme reaction without inhibitor=0% inhibition, all other assay components but no enzyme=100% inhibition). Usually the test compounds were tested on the same microtiterplate in 11 different concentrations in the range of 20 μM to 0.07 nM (20 μM, 5.7 μM, 1.6 μM, 0.47 μM, 0.13 μM, 38 nM, 11 nM, 3.1 nM, 0.9 nM, 0.25 nM and 0.07 nM, the dilution series prepared separately before the assay on the level of the 100 fold concentrated solutions in DMSO by serial dilutions, exact concentrations may vary depending pipettors used)) in duplicate values for each concentration and IC50 values were calculated using Genedata Screener™ software.

Then the kinase reaction was started by the addition of 3 μl of a solution of adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP, 1.67 mM=>final conc. in the 5 μl assay volume is 1 mM) and substrate (1.67 μM=>final conc. in the 5 μl assay volume is 1 μM) in assay buffer and the resulting mixture was incubated for a reaction time of 30 min at 22° C. The concentration of TBK1 was adjusted depending of the activity of the enzyme lot and was chosen appropriate to have the assay in the linear range, typical concentrations were in the range of 0.002-0.004 μg/ml. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 3 μl of a solution of TR-FRET detection reagents (0.33 μM streptavidine-XL665 [Cisbio Bioassays, Codolet, France], 2.5 nM anti-phosho-Serine anti-body [Merck Millipore, “STK antibody”, cat. #35-C2] and 1.25 nM LANCE EU-W1024 labeled anti-mouse IgG anti-body [Perkin-Elmer, product no.

Usually the test compounds were tested on the same microtiterplate in 11 different concentrations in the range of 20 μM to 0.07 nM (20 μM, 5.7 μM, 1.6 μM, 0.47 μM, 0.13 μM, 38 nM, 11 nM, 3.1 nM, 0.9 nM, 0.25 nM and 0.07 nM, the dilution series prepared separately before the assay on the level of the 100 fold concentrated solutions in DMSO by serial dilutions, exact concentrations may vary depending pipettors used) in duplicate values for each concentration and IC50 values were calculated using Genedata Screener™ software.


In Vitro Assay 3: CDK9/CycT1 High ATP Kinase Assay


CDK9/CycT1-inhibitory activity of compounds of the present invention at a high ATP concentration after preincubation of enzyme and test compounds was quantified employing the CDK9/CycT1 TR-FRET assay as described in the following paragraphs.


Recombinant full-length His-tagged human CDK9 and CycT1, expressed in insect cells and purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, were purchased from Life Technologies (Cat. No PV4131). As substrate for the kinase reaction biotinylated peptide biotin-Ttds-YISPLKSPYKISEG (C-terminus in amide form) was used which can be purchased e.g. form the company JERINI peptide technologies (Berlin, Germany).


For the assay 50 nl of a 100 fold concentrated solution of the test compound in DMSO was pipetted into either a black low volume 384well microtiter plate or a black 1536well microtiter plate (both Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany), 2 μl of a solution of CDK9/CycT1 in aqueous assay buffer [50 mM Tris/HCl pH 8.0, 10 mM MgCl2, 1.0 mM dithiothreitol, 0.1 mM sodium ortho-vanadate, 0.01% (v/v) Nonidet-P40 (Sigma)] were added and the mixture was incubated for 15 min at 22° C. to allow pre-binding of the test compounds to the enzyme before the start of the kinase reaction. Then the kinase reaction was started by the addition of 3 μl of a solution of adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP, 3.3 mM=>final conc. in the 5 μl assay volume is 2 mM) and substrate (1.67 μM=>final conc. in the 5 μl assay volume is 1 μM) in assay buffer and the resulting mixture was incubated for a reaction time of 25 min at 22° C. The concentration of CDK9/CycT1 was adjusted depending of the activity of the enzyme lot and was chosen appropriate to have the assay in the linear range, typical concentrations were in the range of 0.5 μg/ml. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 3 μl of a solution of TR-FRET detection reagents (0.33 μM streptavidine-XL665 [Cisbio Bioassays, Codolet, France] and 1.67 nM anti-RB(pSer807/pSer811)-anti-body from BD Pharmingen [#558389] and 2 nM LANCE EU-W1024 labeled anti-mouse IgG anti-body [Perkin-Elmer, product no. AD0077]) in an aqueous EDTA-solution (167 mM EDTA, 0.2% (w/v) bovine serum albumin in 100 mM HEPES pH 7.5).


The resulting mixture was incubated 1 h at 22° C. to allow the formation of complex between the phosphorylated biotinylated peptide and the detection reagents. Subsequently the amount of phosphorylated substrate was evaluated by measurement of the resonance energy transfer from the Eu-chelate to the streptavidine-XL. Therefore, the fluorescence emissions at 620 nm and 665 nm after excitation at 350 nm was measured in a TR-FRET reader, e.g. a Pherastar (BMG Labtechnologies, Offenburg, Germany) or a Viewlux (Perkin-Elmer). The ratio of the emissions at 665 nm and at 622 nm was taken as the measure for the amount of phosphorylated substrate. The data were normalised (enzyme reaction without inhibitor=0% inhibition, all other assay components but no enzyme=100% inhibition). Usually the test compounds were tested on the same microtiterplate in 11 different concentrations in the range of 20 μM to 0.07 nM (20 μM, 5.7 μM, 1.6 μM, 0.47 μM, 0.13 μM, 38 nM, 11 nM, 3.1 nM, 0.9 nM, 0.25 nM and 0.07 nM, the dilution series prepared separately before the assay on the level of the 100 fold concentrated solutions in DMSO by serial dilutions, exact concentrations may vary depending pipettors used) in duplicate values for each concentration and IC50 values were calculated using Genedata Screener™ software.


In Vitro Assay 4: IKKε Low ATP Kinase Assay


IKKε-inhibitory activity of compounds of the present invention at a low ATP concentration after preincubation of enzyme and test compounds was quantified employing the TR-FRET-based IKKε assay as described in the following paragraphs.


A recombinant fusion protein of GST (N-terminally) and full-length human IKKε, expressed in insect cells and purified by glutathione affinity chromatography, was purchased from Life Technologies (Cat. No PV4876) and used as enzyme. As substrate for the kinase reaction biotinylated peptide biotin-Ahx-GDEDFSSFAEPG (C-terminus in amide form) was used which can be purchased e.g. from the company Biosyntan (Berlin-Buch, Germany).


For the assay 50 nl of a 100 fold concentrated solution of the test compound in DMSO was pipetted into either a black low volume 384well microtiter plate or a black 1536well microtiter plate (both Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany), 2 μl of a solution of IKKε in aqueous assay buffer [50 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 10 mM MgCl2, 1.0 mM dithiothreitol, 0.05% (w/v) bovine serum albumin, 0.01% (v/v) Nonidet-P40 (Sigma), protease inhibitor mixture (“Complete w/o EDTA” from Roche, 1 tablet per 5 ml)] were added and the mixture was incubated for 15 min at 22° C. to allow pre-binding of the test compounds to the enzyme before the start of the kinase reaction. Then the kinase reaction was started by the addition of 3 μl of a solution of adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP, 16.7 μM=>final conc. in the 5 μl assay volume is 10 μM) and substrate (1.67 μM=>final conc. in the 5 μl assay volume is 1 μM) in assay buffer and the resulting mixture was incubated for a reaction time of 30 min at 22° C. The concentration of IKKε was adjusted depending of the activity of the enzyme lot and was chosen appropriate to have the assay in the linear range, a typical concentration is 0.01 μg/ml. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 3 μl of a solution of TR-FRET detection reagents (0.33 μM streptavidine-XL665 [Cisbio Bioassays, Codolet, France], 2.5 nM anti-phosho-Serine antibody [Merck Millipore, “STK antibody”, cat. #35-C2] and 1.25 nM LANCE EU-W1024 labeled anti-mouse IgG antibody [Perkin-Elmer, product no. AD0077]) in an aqueous EDTA-solution (167 mM EDTA, 0.13% (w/v) bovine serum albumin in 100 mM HEPES/NaOH pH 7.5).


The resulting mixture was incubated 1 h at 22° C. to allow the formation of complex between the phosphorylated biotinylated peptide and the detection reagents. Subsequently the amount of phosphorylated substrate was evaluated by measurement of the resonance energy transfer from the Eu-chelate to the streptavidine-XL. Therefore, the fluorescence emissions at 620 nm and 665 nm after excitation at 350 nm was measured in a TR-FRET reader, e.g. a Pherastar (BMG Labtechnologies, Offenburg, Germany) or a Viewlux (Perkin-Elmer).

In Vitro Assay 5: Assay for the Detection of Ikke/TBK1 Inhibition in MDA-MB231 Cells


TBK1/IKKε kinases are involved in the regulation of the Toll-like receptor 3 dependent innate immune response pathway. Stimulation of TLR3 by poly-IC activates TBK1/IKKε which in turn phosphorylate the transcription factor IRF3. IRF3 translocates into the cell nucleus and activates the transcription of interferon regulated genes (e.g., IFN-beta, RANTES). The cellular assay for the determination of inhibition of IKKε and TBK1 was performed in MDA-MB231 cells (ATCC, Manassas, USA) that stably express an ISRE-Luciferase reporter responsive for IRF3. The promoter sequence was based on the pISRE-TA-Luc vector (available from Clontech) containing five copies of the ISRE enhancer element, located upstream of the minimal TA promoter. The coding sequence of optimized firefly luciferase luc2 (Promega) was placed downstream of the ISRE-TA element. The final reporter pISRE-TA-luc2 containing a Hygromycin resistance gene was integrated into a lentiviral expression system that was used to generate the stable reporter cells. The coding sequence of the ISRE promoter and luciferase gene is as follows:

ISRE-TA 1945-2040



Luc2 2078-3730 (1652 bp)






The ISRE-luc2-MDA-MB231 cells were cultured in DMEM/Ham's F12 (Gibco #21041) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (typically but not exclusively used: FCS Gold Gibco-No. 10500-064), 2 mM L-glutamine (Gibco-No. 35050-038), 150 μg/ml Hygromycin B, cryopreserved in 90% FCS+10% dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and stored as frozen aliquots of typically 5-10 million cells/vial at −150° C. or below until further use.


For the assay, sufficient cells were rapidly thawed in a 37° C. water bath and pipetted into pre-warmed assay medium (DMEM/Ham's F12, 10% FCS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Biochrom AG; #A2213)). The cells were centrifuged for 5 min at 180×g. The supernatant was removed and the cell pellet was resuspended in fresh medium to give a suspension of 2.4 million cells/ml. Poly (I:C) HMW (InvivoGen, #tlrl-pic) was diluted in assay medium to 0.2 mg/L and subsequently mixed with the cell suspension in 1:1 ratio.


Fifty nl of a 100-fold concentrated solution of the test compound in DMSO were transferred into a white microtiter test plate (384 or 1536, Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany). For this, either a Hummingbird liquid handler (Digilab, MA, USA) or an Echo acoustic system (Labcyte, CA, USA) was used. Five μl of a freshly prepared cell suspension was added to the wells of a test plate and incubated at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. The inhibitor control cell suspension was added to empty wells at the side of the test plate. After completion of the incubation for 20-24 hours, 2.5 μl of Steady-Glo® Luciferase detection solution (Promega), prepared as recommended by the supplier, were added to all wells. The test plate was incubated at 20° C. for 30 min before measurement of the luminescence in a microplate reader (typically Pherastar by BMG, Germany, or ViewLux by Perkin-Elmer, USA). Data were normalized (cells without inhibitor=0% inhibition, cells with reference inhibitor=100% inhibition). Compounds were tested in duplicates at up to 11 concentrations (for example 20 μM, 5.7 μM, 1.6 μM, 0.47 μM, 0.13 μM, 38 nM, 11 nM, 3.1 nM, 0.89 nM, 0.25 nM and 0.073 nM). Dilution series were made prior to the assay in a 100 fold concentrated form by serial dilution. IC50 values were calculated by 4-Parameter fitting using a commercial software package (Genedata Screener, Switzerland).


To prepare the inhibitor control cell suspension, a part of prepared the cell suspension mixture was supplemented with 10 μM of a reference inhibitor, for the generation of above mentioned 100% inhibition reference for data normalization.


In Vitro Assay 6: Counterassay for the Detection of Off-Target Inhibition in MDA-MB231 Cells


The cellular assay for the determination of off-target inhibition for IKKε and TBK1 was performed in MDA-MB231 (ATCC, Manassas, USA) cells that stably express a constitutively active CMV-Luciferase reporter. Selective IKKε/TBK1 inhibitors are inactive, whereas inhibition of the firefly luciferase assay indicates off-target inhibition, e.g. transcriptional or translational inhibition, toxicity or inhibition of the luciferase activity. The coding sequence of the CMV promoter and luciferase gene is as follows:

In Vitro Assay 7: pIRF3 Cell Based Mechanistic Assay


IKKε and TBK1 are highly homologous serine/threonine kinases which are in involved in innate anti-viral immunity and which phosphorylates Interferon regulatory factor 3. pIRF3 (Ser 386) is measured in an HTRF assay (CisBio, Codolet, France). This assay is designed for the quantitative determination of phosphoSer(385/386) of human IRF3 protein. pSer(385/386) IRF3 is measured in a sandwich assay format using 2 different specific antibodies, one labelled with Cryptate (donor) and the second with d2 (acceptor). The two conjugates bind to the phosphorylated IRF3 present in the sample, thereby generating FRET. The intensity of the signal obtained is proportional to the number of antigen-antibody complexes formed and therefore the fluorescence is proportional to the concentration of the pSer(385/386) IRF3.


Protocol: The cellular assay for the determination of inhibition of IKKε and TBK1 was performed in MDA-MB231 cells (ATCC, Manassas, USA) that stably overexpress human IRF3 (human interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3; NM_001571)) under the control of the CMV promoter. The coding sequence for human IRF3 (from cDNA clone pCMV6-XL4-IRF3, Origene, Rockville, Md.; USA) was cloned into a lentiviral expression system containing a Hygromycin resistance gene. Derived lentiviral particles were used to generate the stable reporter cells. The clone MDA MB 231 mIRF3 #12 was selected for the assays.


The coding sequence of the CMV promoter and IRF3 gene is as follows:

MDA MB 231 mIRF3 #12 cells were plated in 384well plates at 10.000 cells/well in 30 μl DMEM/Ham's F12+10% FCS per well. After ON incubation at 37° C./5% CO2, the medium was exchanged for phenol red-free medium. Compounds were added by HP Dispenser with compounds diluted in DMSO, maximal compound concentration was 30 μM, then 1:3 dilution steps, i.e. 30 μM, 10 μM, 3.3, μM etc, were applied using a HP D300 digital dispenser (Tecan, Germany). Normalization was done with DMSO to a final concentration of 0.6% per well. The cells were incubated for 1 h in an incubator, then poly IC was added to stimulate the cells (100 μM poly IC were diluted in 1000 μl OptiMEM (Gibco); in parallel 300 μl Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies) were diluted in 1000 μl OptiMEM. Both solutions were mixed and incubated for 20 min at room temperature, then 3 μl per well (=0.15 μg/30 μl (5 μg/ml) PolyIC/Lipofectamine2000) were added. The cells were incubated for another hour in an incubator, then the plate was assayed according to the manufacturer (Cisbio Bioassays, Codolet, France, item #6FRF3PEH, IRF3 phospho-S385/386 kit): the medium was removed, then 18 μl of supplemented Lysis buffer #2 (1.9 ml Lysis buffer #2 (4×), +58 μl Blocking Reagent, included in Kit (100×), +3.84 ml ultrapure water) were added. 16 μl of the lysate were transferred into a 384well small volume white plate (Greiner Bio-One, Germany), the antibodies (included in the kit) were added and the plate was sealed with foil and incubated for 3 h at room temperature. Finally the measurement was done in a Pherastar (BMG, Germany) with 2 wavelengths (665 nm und 620 nm). IC50 values were calculated by 4-Parameter fitting using a commercial software package (Genedata Screener, Switzerland).


In Vitro Assay 8: ACHN Antiproliferation Assay


Tissue cultured ACHN human kidney renal cell adenocarcinoma cells (ATCC, Manassas, USA) were plated at 300 cells/well in 50 μl Earle's MEM (Biochrom; #FG 0325, with stable glutamine and 10% FCS, typically but not exclusively used: FCS Gold Gibco-No. 10500-064) in 384well microtiter plates (Corning 3707 white/clear bottom, Corning, Germany). All plates were incubated ON in an incubator at 37° C., 5% CO2. The next day one plate was measured for time zero determination (using CTG solution, see below). The rest of the plates were treated with test compounds by a HP D300 digital dispenser (Tecan, Germany) with a starting concentration of 30 μM and subsequent 1:3 dilution steps. The plates were incubated at 37° C. for 96 h. Thereafter the plates were measured by addition of 40 ul/well CTG solution (Promega Cell Titer Glo solution (catalog number G755B and G756B)), incubation for 30 min on a shaker (Heidolph Titramax 1000, Heidolph, Germany) in the dark and afterwards luminescence was measured in a VICTOR V (Perkin Elmer). IC50 values were calculated by 4-Parameter fitting using a commercial software package (Genedata Screener, Switzerland).


In Vitro Assay 9: Calu-1 Antiproliferation Assay


Tissue cultured Calu-1 human lung epidermoid carcinoma cells (CLS Cell Lines Services, Eppelheim, Germany) were plated at 870 cells/well in 50 μl McCoy's 5A (Biochrom; #F 1015 and 10% FCS, typically but not exclusively used: FCS Gold Gibco-No. 10500-064) in 384well microtiter plates (Corning 3707 white/clear bottom, Corning, Germany). All plates were incubated ON in an incubator at 37° C., 5% CO2. The next day one plate was measured for time zero determination (using CTG solution, see below). The rest of the plates were treated with test compounds by a HP D300 digital dispenser (Tecan, Germany) with a starting concentration of 30 μM and subsequent 1:3 dilution steps. The plates were incubated at 37° C. for 96 h. Thereafter the plates were measured by addition of 40 ul/well CTG solution (Promega Cell Titer Glo solution (catalog number G755B and G756B)), incubation for 30 min on a shaker (Heidolph Titramax 1000, Heidolph, Germany) in the dark and afterwards luminescence was measured in a VICTOR V (Perkin Elmer). IC50 values were calculated by 4-Parameter fitting using a commercial software package (Genedata Screener, Switzerland).
