Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR-4) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGFR-4 gene. This protein is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor family, where amino acid sequence was highly conserved between members throughout evolution. FGFR family members 1-4 differ from one another in their ligand affinities and tissue distribution. A full-length representative protein consists of an extracellular region composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular portion of the protein interacts with fibroblast growth factors, setting in motion a cascade of downstream signals, ultimately influencing mitogenesis and differentiation. The genomic organization of the FGFR-4 gene encompasses 18 exons. Although alternative splicing has been observed, there is no evidence that the C-terminal half of the IgIII domain of this protein varies between three alternate forms, as indicated for FGFR 1-3.
Ectopic mineralization, characterized by inappropriate calcium-phosphorus deposition in soft tissue, has been observed in rats treated with an FGFR-1 inhibitor (Brown, A P et al. (2005), Toxicol. Pathol., p. 449-455). This suggests that selective inhibition of FGFR-4 without inhibition of other isoforms of FGFR, including FGFR-1, may be desirable in order to avoid certain toxicities. FGFR-4 preferentially binds fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) and has recently been associated with the progression of certain sarcomas, renal cell cancer, breast cancer, and liver cancer.
The present invention describes inhibitors of FGFR-4. The present invention further describes pharmaceutical formulations that include an inhibitor of FGFR-4.

In a broad aspect, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and non-aromatic substituents of organic compounds. The permissible substituents can be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds. For purposes of this invention, the heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and/or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein which satisfy the valences of the heteroatoms. Substituents can include any substituents described herein, for example, a halogen, a hydroxyl, a carbonyl (such as a carboxyl, an alkoxycarbonyl, a formyl, or an acyl), a thiocarbonyl (such as a thioester, a thioacetate, or a thioformate), an alkoxyl, a phosphoryl, a phosphate, a phosphonate, a phosphinate, an amino, an amido, an amidine, an imine, a cyano, a nitro, an azido, a sulfhydryl, an alkylthio, a sulfate, a sulfonate, a sulfamoyl, a sulfonamido, a sulfonyl, a heterocyclyl, an aralkyl, or an aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety.

“Warhead moiety” or “warhead” refers to a moiety of an inhibitor which participates, either reversibly or irreversibly, with the reaction of a donor, e.g., a protein, with a substrate. Warheads may, for example, form covalent bonds with the protein, or may create stable transition states, or be a reversible or an irreversible alkylating agent. For example, the warhead moiety can be a functional group on an inhibitor that can participate in a bond-forming reaction, wherein a new covalent bond is formed between a portion of the warhead and a donor, for example an amino acid residue of a protein. The warhead is an electrophile and the “donor” is a nucleophile such as the side chain of a cysteine residue. Examples of suitable warheads include, without limitation, the groups shown below:
wherein X is a leaving group such as halo, or an activated hydroxyl moiety (e.g., triflate); and each of Ra, Rb, and Rc is, independently, H, substituted or unsubstituted C1-4 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C1-4 cycloalkyl, or cyano.
The compounds described herein may contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H) or carbon-14 (14C). All isotopic variations of the compounds disclosed herein, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention. For example, deuterated compounds or compounds containing 13C are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention.
Certain compounds can exist in different tautomeric forms, and all possible tautomeric forms of all of the compounds described herein are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention.
The “enantiomeric excess” or “% enantiomeric excess” of a composition can be calculated using the equation shown below. In the example shown below a composition contains 90% of one enantiomer, e.g., the S-enantiomer, and 10% of the other enantiomer, i.e., the R-enantiomer.
ee=(90−10)/100=80%.
Thus, a composition containing 90% of one enantiomer and 10% of the other enantiomer is said to have an enantiomeric excess of 80%. Some of the compositions described herein contain an enantiomeric excess of at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99% of Compound 1 (the S-enantiomer). In other words, the compositions contain an enantiomeric excess of the S-enantiomer over the R-enantiomer.
Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all isomeric (e.g., enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational)) forms of the structure; for example, the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center, Z and E double bond isomers, and Z and E conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational) mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention.

When the compounds disclosed herein are administered as pharmaceuticals, to humans and animals, they can be given per se or as a pharmaceutical composition containing, for example, 0.1 to 99.5% (more preferably, 0.5 to 90%) of active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
The formulations can be administered topically, orally, transdermally, rectally, vaginally, parentally, intranasally, intrapulmonary, intraocularly, intravenously, intramuscularly, intraarterially, intrathecally, intracapsularly, intradermally, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, subcuticularly, or by inhalation.
FGFR-4 regulates proliferation, survival, and alpha-fetoprotein secretion during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression; inhibitors of FGFR-4 are therefore promising potential therapeutic agents for this unmet medical need (Ho et al., Journal of Hepatology, 2009, 50:118-27). HCC afflicts more than 550,000 people worldwide every year and has one of the worst 1-year survival rates of any cancer type.
Further evidence of the link between FGFR-4 and HCC is shown through the involvement of FGF19, a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, which consists of hormones that regulate glucose, lipid, and energy homeostasis. Increased hepatocyte proliferation and liver tumor formation have been observed in FGF19 transgenic mice. FGF19 activates FGFR-4, its predominant receptor in the liver, and it is believed that activation of FGFR-4 is the mechanism whereby FGF19 can increase hepatocyte proliferation and induce hepatocellular carcinoma formation (Wu et al., J Biol Chem (2010) 285(8):5165-5170). FGF19 has been identified as a driver gene in HCC by others as well (Sawey et al., Cancer Cell (2011) 19: 347-358). It is therefore believed that the compounds disclosed herein, which are potent and selective inhibitors of FGFR-4, can be used to treat HCC and other liver cancers.
Oncogenome screening has identified an activating fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR-4) Y367C mutation in the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-453. This mutation was shown to elicit constitutive phosphorylation, leading to an activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. Accordingly, it has been suggested that FGFR-4 may be a driver of tumor growth in breast cancer (Roidl et al., Oncogene (2010) 29(10):1543-1552). It is therefore believed that the compounds disclosed herein, which are potent and selective inhibitors of FGFR-4, can be used to treat FGFR-4 modulated breast cancer.
Molecular changes (e.g., translocations) in genes upstream of FGFR-4 can lead to activation/overexpression of FGFR-4. For example, a PAX3-FKHR translocation/gene fusion can lead to FGFR-4 overexpression. Overexpression of FGFR-4 due to this mechanism has been associated with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) (Cao et al., Cancer Res (2010) 70(16): 6497-6508). Mutations in FGFR-4 itself (e.g., kinase domain mutations) can lead to over-activation of the protein; this mechanism has been associated with a subpopulation of RMS (Taylor et al., J Clin Invest (2009) 119: 3395-3407). It is therefore believed that the compounds disclosed herein, which are potent and selective inhibitors of FGFR-4, can be used to treat FGFR-4 modulated RMS and other sarcomas.
Other diseases have been associated with changes in genes upstream of FGFR-4 or with mutations in FGFR-4 itself. For example, mutations in the kinase domain of FGFR-4 lead to over-activation, which has been associated with lung adenocarcinoma (Ding et al., Nature (2008) 455(7216): 1069-1075). Amplification of FGFR-4 has been associated with conditions such as renal cell carcinoma (TCGA provisional data). In addition, silencing FGFR4 and inhibiting ligand-receptor binding significantly decrease ovarian tumor growth, suggesting that inhibitors of FGFR4 could be useful in treating ovarian cancer. (Zaid et al., Clin. Cancer Res. (2013) 809).
Pathogenic elevations of bile acid levels have been linked to variations in FGF19 levels (Vergnes et al., Cell Metabolism (2013) 17, 916-28). Reduction in the level of FGF19 may therefore be of benefit in promoting the synthesis of bile acid and thus in the treatment of hyperlipidemia.
Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active ingredient that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient.
The selected dosage level will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the particular compound disclosed herein employed, or the ester, salt or amide thereof, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the particular compound employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors well known in the medical arts.
A physician or veterinarian having ordinary skill in the art can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition required. For example, the physician or veterinarian could start doses of the compounds of the invention employed in the pharmaceutical composition at levels lower than that required in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved.
In general, a suitable daily dose of a compound of the invention will be that amount of the compound that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above. Generally, doses of the compounds of this invention for a patient will range from about 0.0001 to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day. For example, the dose could be between 10 and 2000 mg per day. Alternatively, the dose can be between 100 and 1000 mg per day, or between 200 and 600 mg per day. If desired, the effective daily dose of the active compound may be administered as one, two, three, four, or more sub-doses administered separately at appropriate intervals throughout the day, optionally, in unit dosage forms.
Administration of the FGFR-4 inhibitors disclosed herein can be combined with other cancer treatments. For example, the inhibitors can be administered in combination with surgical treatments, radiation, or other therapeutic agents such as antibodies, other selective kinase inhibitors, or chemotherapeutics. The inhibitors may also be administered in combination with RNAi therapy or antisense therapy. The FGFR-4 inhibitors described herein may be combined with one, two, or more other therapeutic agents. In the examples outlined below, it is understood that “second therapeutic agent” also includes more than one therapeutic agent other than the FGFR-4 inhibitor. For instance, the compounds disclosed herein may be combined with an agent such as sorafenib. A FGFR-4 inhibitor described herein may be administered with one, two, or more other therapeutic agents.
The FGFR-4 inhibitors described herein and the second therapeutic agent do not have to be administered in the same pharmaceutical composition, and may, because of different physical and chemical characteristics, be administered by different routes. For example, the FGFR-4 inhibitor can be administered orally, while the second therapeutic agent is administered intravenously. The determination of the mode of administration and the advisability of administration, where possible, in the same pharmaceutical composition, is well within the knowledge of the skilled clinician. The initial administration can be made according to established protocols known in the art, and then, based upon the observed effects, the dosage, modes of administration and times of administration can be modified by the skilled clinician.
The FGFR-4 inhibitor and the second therapeutic agent may be administered concurrently (e.g., simultaneously, essentially simultaneously or within the same treatment protocol) or sequentially (i.e., one followed by the other, with an optional time interval in between), depending upon the nature of the proliferative disease, the condition of the patient, and the actual choice of second therapeutic agent to be administered.
In addition, the FGFR-4 inhibitors disclosed herein can be administered as part of an antibody-drug conjugate, where the FGFR-4 inhibitor is the “payload” portion of the conjugate.

Biochemical Activity Assessment In order to assess the activity of chemical compounds against the relevant kinase of interest, the Caliper LifeSciences electrophoretic mobility shift technology platform is utilized. Fluorescently labeled substrate peptide is incubated in the presence dosed levels of compounds, a set concentration of kinase and of ATP, so that a reflective proportion of the peptide is phosphorylated. At the end of the reaction, the mix of phosphorylated (product) and non-phosphorylated (substrate) peptides are passed through the microfluidic system of the Caliper LabChip® EZ Reader II, under an applied potential difference. The presence of the phosphate group on the product peptide provides a difference in mass and charge between the product peptide and the substrate peptide, resulting in a separation of the substrate and product pools in the sample. As the pools pass the LEDS within the instrument, these pools are detected and resolved as separate peaks. The ratio between these peaks therefore reflects the activity of the chemical matter at that concentration in that well, under those conditions.
FGFR-4 wild type assay at Km: In each well of a 384-well plate, 0.5 ng/ul of wild type FGFR-4 (Carna Biosciences, Inc.) was incubated in a total of 12.5 ul of buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij 35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT) with 1 uM CSKtide (5-FAM-KKKKEEIYFFFG-NH2) and 400 uM ATP at 25 C for 90 minutes in the presence or absence of a dosed concentration series of compound (1% DMSO final concentration). The reaction was stopped by the addition of 70 ul of Stop buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij 35, 35 mM EDTA and 0.2% of Coating Reagent 3 (Caliper Lifesciences)). The plate was then read on a Caliper LabChip® EZ Reader II (protocol settings: −1.9 psi, upstream voltage −700, downstream voltage −3000, post sample sip 35 s).

The effects of Compound 27 on tumor growth inhibition in Hep3B liver cancer cell subcutaneous xenograft model with different dosages were studied.
Female nude mice (Mus musculus) age 6 to 8 weeks were used. Tumor cell culture and inoculation: Hep3B cells were cultured with EMEM medium (Invitrogen, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, Australia). The cells were harvested in 90% confluence, and the viability was no less than 90%. Mice were implanted subcutaneously (s.c.) with 200 μL of 10×106 Hep3B cells in 50% Matrigel in the right flank at the beginning of the study.
Animal grouping and dosing schedule: Ten days after cell implantation, when tumors reached an average volume of 284 mm3, 36 mice were selected based on tumor volume and randomly assigned to 5 treatment groups (n=9). The day of randomization was denoted as day 0 and the treatment was started from then on.
Tumor volume and body weight measurements: Tumor size was measured twice per week in two dimensions using a caliper, and the volume was expressed in mm3 using the formula: V=0.5 a× b2 where a and b were the long and short diameters of the tumor, respectively. Body weight was measured at least twice weekly.
Tumor volumes of Hep3B-bearing nude mice:
Body weight change (%) of Hep3B-bearing nude mice:
Mice treated with Compound 27 exhibited a significant reduction of tumor volume as compared with the vehicle group during the entire study. Increasing the dosage of Compound 27 from 10 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg enhanced the tumor inhibition efficiency. Tumors of mice in the Compound 27-treated (100 mg/kg PO BID) group regressed and almost disappeared. All mice except for those in the Compound 27-treated (100 mg/kg PO BID) groups lost bodyweight. The bodyweight of the mice in the vehicle group decreased by approximately 15% by Day 10 for the burden of tumor. These results indicated that Compound 27 was well tolerated at the current dosages and at the dosing schedule in nude mice, and that Compound 27 could alleviate body weight loss by inhibiting tumor growth.
