2. Summary of the Related Art
Angiogenesis is an important component of certain normal physiological processes such as embryogenesis and wound healing, but aberrant angiogenesis contributes to some pathological disorders and in particular to tumor growth.1,2 VEGF-A (vascular endothelial growth factor A) is a key factor promoting neovascularization (angiogenesis) of tumors.3-7 VEGF induces endothelial cell proliferation and migration by signaling through two high affinity receptors, the fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor, Flt-1, and the kinase insert domain-containing receptor, KDR.8,9,10. These signaling responses are critically dependent upon receptor dimerization and activation of intrinsic receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activity. The binding of VEGF as a disulfide-linked homodimer stimulates receptor dimerization and activation of the RTK domain11. The kinase activity autophosphorylates cytoplasmic receptor tyrosine residues, which then serve as binding sites for molecules involved in the propagation of a signaling cascade. Although multiple pathways are likely to be elucidated for both receptors, KDR signaling is most extensively studied, with a mitogenic response suggested to involve ERK-1 and ERK-2 mitogen-activated protein kinases12.
Disruption of VEGF receptor signaling is a highly attractive therapeutic target in cancer, as angiogenesis is a prerequisite for all solid tumor growth, and that the mature endothelium remains relatively quiescent (with the exception of the female reproductive system and wound healing). A number of experimental approaches to inhibiting VEGF signaling have been examined, including use of neutralizing antibodies13,14,15, receptor antagonists16, soluble receptors17, antisense constructs18 and dominant-negative strategies19.
Despite the attractiveness of anti-angiogenic therapy by VEGF inhibition alone, several issues may limit this approach. VEGF expression levels can themselves be elevated by numerous diverse stimuli and perhaps most importantly, the hypoxic state of tumors resulting from VEGFr inhibition, can lead to the induction of factors that themselves promote tumor invasion and metastasis thus, potentially undermining the impact of VEGF inhibitors as cancer therapeutics20.
The HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) and the HGF receptor, c-met, are implicated in the ability of tumor cells to undermine the activity of VEGF inhibition20. HGF derived from either stromal fibroblasts surrounding tumor cells or expressed from the tumor itself has been suggested to play a critical role in tumor angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis21,22. For example, invasive growth of certain cancer cells is drastically enhanced by tumor-stromal interactions involving the HGF/c-Met (HGF receptor) pathway23,24,25. HGF, which was originally identified as a potent mitogen for hepatocytes26,27 is primarily secreted from stromal cells, and the secreted HGF can promote motility and invasion of various cancer cells that express c-Met in a paracrine manner28,29,30. Binding of HGF to c-Met leads to receptor phosphorylation and activation of Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, thereby enhancing malignant behaviors of cancer cells30,31. Moreover, stimulation of the HGF/c-met pathway itself can lead to the induction of VEGF expression, itself contributing directly to angiogenic activity32.
Thus, anti-tumor anti-angiogenic strategies or approaches that target both VEGFNEGFr signaling and HGF/c-met signaling may circumvent the ability of tumor cells to overcome VEGF inhibition alone and may represent improved cancer therapeutics.
Here we describe small molecules that are potent inhibitors of both the VEGF receptor KDR and the HGF receptor c-met.
The present invention provides new compounds and methods for treating cell proliferative diseases. The compounds of the invention are dual function inhibitors, capable of inhibiting both VEGF and HGF. Accordingly, the invention provides new inhibitors of VEGF receptor signaling and HGF receptor signaling, including the VEGF receptor KDR and the HGF receptor c-met.
In a first aspect, the invention provides compounds of formula A that are useful as inhibitors of VEGF receptor signaling and HGF receptor signaling.
In a second aspect, the invention provides compounds of formula B that are useful as inhibitors of VEGF receptor signaling and HGF receptor signaling.
In a third aspect, the invention provides compositions comprising a compound of the present invention that is an inhibitor of VEGF receptor signaling and HGF receptor signaling, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient, or diluent.
In a fourth aspect, the invention provides a method of simultaneously inhibiting VEGF receptor signaling and HGF receptor signaling in a cell, comprising contacting a cell in which inhibition of VEGF receptor signaling and HGF receptor signaling is desired with a compound of the invention.
The foregoing merely summarizes certain aspects of the invention and is not intended to be limiting in nature. These aspects and other aspects and embodiments are described more fully below.
The invention provides compounds and methods for inhibiting the VEGF receptor KDR and the HGF receptor c-met. The invention also provides compositions and methods for treating cell proliferative diseases and conditions. The patent and scientific literature referred to herein establishes knowledge that is available to those with skill in the art. The issued patents, applications, and references that are cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference. In the case of inconsistencies, the present disclosure will prevail.
For purposes of the present invention, the following definitions will be used (unless expressly stated otherwise):
The terms “inhibitor of VEGF receptor signaling” and “inhibitor of HGF receptor signaling” are used to identify a compound having a structure as defined herein, which is capable of interacting with a HGF receptor and a VEGF receptor and inhibiting the activity of HGF and VEGF. In some preferred embodiments, such reduction of activity is at least about 50%, more preferably at least about 75%, and still more preferably at least about 90%.
For simplicity, chemical moieties are defined and referred to throughout primarily as univalent chemical moieties (e.g., alkyl, aryl, etc.). Nevertheless, such terms are also used to convey corresponding multivalent moieties under the appropriate structural circumstances clear to those skilled in the art. For example, while an “alkyl” moiety generally refers to a monovalent radical (e.g. CH3—CH2—), in certain circumstances a bivalent linking moiety can be “alkyl,” in which case those skilled in the art will understand the alkyl to be a divalent radical (e.g., —CH2—CH2—), which is equivalent to the term “alkylene.” (Similarly, in circumstances in which a divalent moiety is required and is stated as being “aryl,” those skilled in the art will understand that the term “aryl” refers to the corresponding divalent moiety, arylene.) All atoms are understood to have their normal number of valences for bond formation (i.e., 4 for carbon, 3 for N, 2 for O, and 2, 4, or 6 for S, depending on the oxidation state of the S). On occasion a moiety may be defined, for example, as (A)a-B—, wherein a is 0 or 1. In such instances, when a is 0 the moiety is B— and when a is 1 the moiety is A-B—. Also, a number of moieties disclosed herein exist in multiple tautomeric forms, all of which are intended to be encompassed by any given tautomeric structure.
The term “hydrocarbyl” refers to a straight, branched, or cyclic alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl, each as defined herein. A “C0” hydrocarbyl is used to refer to a covalent bond.

Thieno[3,2-b]pyridine based compounds of formula A-0 may be prepared according to the procedures illustrated in the scheme A. Thus, thieno[3,2-b]pyridine-7-ol (I) upon treatment with POCl3 is converted to the chloride II. Treatment of this material with a strong base such as n-BuLi followed by an addition of carbon dioxide affords the carboxylate III which is used without purification in the next step, providing the acyl chloride IV (presumably as a hydrochloride salt) upon its reaction with oxalyl chloride. The acyl chloride IV is used for the next step without further purification as well: upon its reaction with different primary and secondary amines the compound IV is converted to a variety of primary and secondary amides V which can further be derivatized via a substitution of the chlorine atom in the pyridine ring.
Thus, V reacting with substituted 4-nitrophenols in a high boiling point solvent, such as diphenyl ether in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, produced the nitro derivatives VI which then are reduced to the amines VII upon treatment with a mixture NiCl2/NaBH4 (or other conventional reagents). The amines VII also may be used for the next step without further purification, and upon treatment with 2-phenylacetyl isothiocyanates afford phenylacetylthioureas VIII bearing the amido-substituents such as the ones shown in the scheme A.

Thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine based compounds of formula A-0 may be prepared according to the procedures illustrated in the scheme B. Thus, thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-7-ol (IX) upon treatment with POCl3 is converted to the chloride X. Treatment of this material with a strong base such as lithium tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP) generated in situ followed by an addition of carbon dioxide affords the carboxylate XI which is used without purification in the next step, providing the acyl chloride XII (presumably as a hydrochloride salt) upon its reaction with oxalyl chloride. The acyl chloride XII reacting with different primary and secondary amines is converted to a variety of primary and secondary amides XIII which can further be derivatized via a substitution of the chlorine atom in the pyrimidine ring.
Thus, XIII reacting with substituted 4-nitrophenols in a high boiling point solvent, such as diphenyl ether in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, produce the nitro derivatives XIV which are then reduced to the amines XV upon treatment with a mixture NiCl2/NaBH4 (or other conventional reagents).

This material reacting with different heteroaryl bromides in the presence of a Pd-catalyst (Stille coupling reaction or similar type reactions) produces heteroaryl-substituted thienopyridines XVIII which can further be derivatized via a substitution of the chlorine atom in the pyridine ring.

The amines XX could be used for the next step without further purification, and upon treatment with 2-phenylacetyl isothiocyanates afford the phenylacetylthioureas XXI bearing the heteroaryl substituents such as the ones shown in the scheme C. Heteroaryls shown in the scheme B, in turn may bear additional substituents exemplified (but not limited to) alkyls, amines, alkylamino, aminoalkyls, alkoxyalkyls, hydroxyalkyls, alkylsulfonylalkyls, etc.—known in the art as solubilizing functionalities.

Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine based compounds of formula B-0 may be prepared according to the procedures illustrated in the scheme D.

The amines XXV reacting with 2-phenylacetyl isothiocyanates afford the phenylacetylthioureas XXVI bearing the alkyl substituents such as the ones shown in the scheme D.

This material can be used for Suzuki type (and like) reactions with a variety of aryl boronic acids (or boronates), in particular with the ones functionalized with basic groups, thus providing compounds XXIX. Reduction of XXIX with a mixture NiCl2/NaBH4 (or other conventional reagents) affords amines XXX.

In Vitro Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Assays (c-Met/HGF Receptor and VEGF Receptor KDR)
These tests measure the ability of compounds to inhibit the enzymatic activity of recombinant human c-Met/HGF receptor and VEGF receptor enzymatic activity.
A 1.3-kb cDNA corresponding to the intracellular domain of c-Met or c-Met IC (Genbank accession number NP000236-1 amino acid 1078 to 1337) was cloned into the BamHI/XhoI sites of the pBlueBacHis2A vector (Invitrogen) for the production of a histidine-tagged version of that enzyme. This construct was used to generate recombinant baculovirus using the Bac-N-Blue™ system according to the manucfacturer's instructions (Invitrogen)
The c-Met IC protein was expressed in Hi-5 cells (Trichoplusia Ni) upon infection with recombinant baculovirus construct. Briefly, Hi-5 cells grown in suspension and maintained in serum-free medium (Sf900 II supplemented with gentamycin) at a cell density of about 2×106 cells/ml were infected with the abovementioned viruses at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.2 during 72 hours at 27° C. with agitation at 120 rpm on a rotary shaker. Infected cells were harvested by centrifugation at 398 g for 15 min. Cell pellets were frozen at −80° C. until purification was performed.
All steps described in cell extraction and purification were performed at 4° C. Frozen Hi-5 cell pellets infected with the C-Met IC recombinant baculovirus were thawed and gently resuspended in Buffer A (20 mM Tris pH 8.0, 10% glycerol, 1 μg/ml pepstatin, 2 μg/ml Aprotinin and leupeptin, 50 μg/ml PMSF, 50 μg/ml TLCK and 10 μM E64, 0.5 mM DTT and 1 mM Levamisole) using 3 mL of buffer per gram of cells. The suspension was Dounce homogenized after which it was centrifuged at 22500 g, 30 min., 4° C. The supernatant (cell extract) was used as starting material for purification of c-Met IC.
The supernatant was loaded onto a QsepharoseFF column (Amersham Biosciences) equilibrated with Buffer B (20 mM Tris pH 8.0, 10% glycerol) supplemented with 0.05M NaCl. Following a ten column volume (CV) wash with equilibration buffer, bound proteins were eluted with a 5 CV salt linear gradient spanning from 0.05 to 1M NaCl in Buffer B. Typically, the conductivity of selected fractions ranked between 6.5 and 37 mS/cm. This Qsepharose eluate had an estimated NaCl concentration of 0.33M and was supplemented with a 5M NaCl solution in order to increase NaCl concentration at 0.5M and also with a 5M Imidazole (pH 8.0) solution to achieve a final imidazole concentration of 15 mM. This material was loaded onto a HisTrap affinity column (GE Healthcare) equilibrated with Buffer C (50 mM NaPO4 pH 8.0, 0.5M NaCl, 10% glycerol) supplemented with 15 mM imidazole. After a 10 CV wash with equilibration buffer and an 8 CV wash with buffer C+40 mM imidazole, bound proteins were eluted with an 8 CV linear gradient (15 to 500 mM) of imidazole in buffer C. C-Met IC enriched fractions from this chromatography step were pooled based on SDS-PAGE analysis. This pool of enzyme underwent buffer exchange using PD-10 column (GE Healthcare) against buffer D (25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.1M NaCl, 10% glycerol and 2 mM □-mercaptoethanol) Final C-Met IC protein preparations concentrations were about 0.5 mg/ml with purity approximating 80%. Purified c-Met IC protein stocks were supplemented with BSA at 1 mg/ml, aliquoted and frozen at −80° C. prior to use in enzymatic assay.

This construct was used to generate recombinant baculovirus using the Bac-to-Bac™ system according to the manucfacturer's instructions (Invitrogen)
The GST-VEGFR2806-1356 protein was expressed in Sf9 cells (Spodoptera frugiperda) upon infection with recombinant baculovirus construct. Briefly, Sf9 cells grown in suspension and maintained in serum-free medium (Sf900 II supplemented with gentamycin) at a cell density of about 2×106 cells/ml were infected with the abovementioned viruses at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1 during 72 hours at 27° C. with agitation at 120 rpm on a rotary shaker. Infected cells were harvested by centrifugation at 398 g for 15 min. Cell pellets were frozen at −80° C. until purification was performed.
All steps described in cell extraction and purification were performed at 4° C. Frozen Sf9 cell pellets infected with the GST-VEGFR2806-1356 recombinant baculovirus were thawed and gently resuspended in Buffer A (PBS pH 7.3 supplemented with 1 μg/ml pepstatin, 2 μg/ml Aprotinin and leupeptin, 50 μg/ml PMSF, 50 μg/ml TLCK and 10 μM E64 and 0.5 mM DTT) using 3 mL of buffer per gram of cells. Suspension was Dounce homogenized and 1% Triton X-100 was added to the homogenate after which it was centrifuged at 22500 g, 30 min., 4° C. The supernatant (cell extract) was used as starting material for purification of GST-VEGFR2806-1356.
The supernatant was loaded onto a GST-agarose column (Sigma) equilibrated with PBS pH 7.3. Following a four column volume (CV) wash with PBS pH 7.3+1% Triton X-100 and 4 CV wash with buffer B (50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 20% glycerol and 100 mM NaCl), bound proteins were step eluted with 5 CV of buffer B supplemented with 5 mM DTT and 15 mM glutathion. GST-VEGFR2806-1356 enriched fractions from this chromatography step were pooled based on U.V. trace i.e. fractions with high O.D.280. Final GST-VEGFR2806-1356 protein preparations concentrations were about 0.7 mg/ml with purity approximating 70%. Purified GST-VEGFR2806-1356 protein stocks were aliquoted and frozen at −80° C. prior to use in enzymatic assay.
Inhibition of c-Met/HGF receptor and VEGFR/KDR was measured in a DELFIA™ assay (Perkin Elmer). The substrate poly(Glu4,Tyr) was immobilized onto black high-binding polystyrene 96-well plates. The coated plates were washed and stored at 4° C. During the assay, enzymes were pre-incubated with inhibitor and Mg-ATP on ice in polypropylene 96-well plates for 4 minutes, and then transferred to the coated plates. The subsequent kinase reaction took place at 30° C. for 10-30 minutes. ATP concentrations in the assay were 10 uM for C-Met (5× the Km) and 0.6 uM for VEGFR/KDR (2× the Km). Enzyme concentration was 25 nM (C-Met) or 5 nM (VEGFR/KDR). After incubation, the kinase reactions were quenched with EDTA and the plates were washed. Phosphorylated product was detected by incubation with Europium-labeled anti-phosphotyrosine MoAb. After washing the plates, bound MoAb was detected by time-resolved fluorescence in a Gemini SpectraMax reader (Molecular Devices). Compounds were evaluated over a range of concentrations and IC50's (concentration of compounds giving 50% inhibition of enzymatic activity) were determined.

Dimerization of the Mr 65,000 TPR-Met oncoprotein through a leucine zipper motif encoded by the TPR portion leads to constitutive activation of the met kinase. Constitutive autophosphorylation occurs on residues Tyr361/365/366 of TPR-Met. These residues are homologous to Tyr1230/1234/1235 of MET which become phosphorylated upon dimerization of the receptor upon HGF binding.
Inhibitor of c-Met formulated as 30 mM stocks in DMSO. For MNNGHOS treatments, cells, compounds were added to tissue culture media at indicated doses for 3 hours prior to cell lysis. Cells were lysed in ice-cold lysis buffer containing 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10% glycerol, 1% Triton X-100, 1 mM 4-(2-Aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride, 200 μM sodium orthovanadate, 1 mM sodium fluoride, 10 μg/ml of leupeptin, 10 μg/ml of aprotinin/ml, 1 ug/ml of pepstatin and 50 ug/ml Na-p-Tosyl-1-lysine chloromethyl ketone hydrochloride.
Lysate were separated on 5-20% PAGE-SDS and immunoblots were performed using Immobilon P polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Amersham) according to the manufacturer's instructions for handling. The blots were washed in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween 20 detergent (TBST). Tyr361/365/366 of TPR-Met were detected with polyclonal rabbit antibodies against tyrosine phosphorylated Met (Biosource International) and secondary antibodies anti-rabbit-horseradish peroxidase (Sigma) by chemiluminescence assays (Amersham, ECL) were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions and followed by film exposure. Signal was quantitated by densitometry on Alpha-Imager. IC50 values were defined as the dose required to obtain 50% inhibition of the maximal HGF stimulated phosphorylated c-Met levels.
In Vivo Solid Tumor Disease Model
This test measures the capacity of compounds to inhibit solid tumor growth.
Tumor xenografts were established in the flank of female athymic CD1 mice (Charles River Inc.), by subcutaneous injection of 1×106U87, A431 or SKLMS cells/mouse. Once established, tumors were then serially passaged s.c. in nude mice hosts. Tumor fragments from these host animals were used in subsequent compound evaluation experiments. For compound evaluation experiments female nude mice weighing approximately 20 g were implanted s.c. by surgical implantation with tumor fragments of ˜30 mg from donor tumors. When the tumors were approximately 100 mm3 in size (˜7-10 days following implantation), the animals were randomized a separated into treatment and control groups. Each group contained 6-8 tumor-bearing mice, each of which was ear-tagged and followed individually throughout the experiment
Mice were weighed and tumor measurements are taken by calipers three times weekly, starting on Day 1. These tumor measurements were converted to tumor volume by the well-known formula (L+W/4)34/3π. The experiment was terminated when the control tumors reached a size of approximately 1500 mm3. In this model, the change in mean tumor volume for a compound treated group/the change in mean tumor volume of the control group (non-treated or vehicle treated)×100 (ΔT/ΔC) was subtracted from 100 to give the percent tumor growth inhibition (% TGI) for each test compound. In addition to tumor volumes, body weight of animals were monitored twice weekly for up to 3 weeks.
The activities of a number of compounds according to the invention measured by various assays are displayed in the following table, Table 24. In the table, “a” indicates inhibitory activity at a concentration of less than 50 nanomolar; “b” indicates inhibitory activity at a concentration ≧50 but <250 nanomolar, “c” indicates inhibitory activity at ≧250 but <500 and “d” indicates inhibitory activity at a concentration of ≧500 nanomolar; and “e” indicates no activity as measured by that assay.
In the following table, Table 25, “a” indicates % TGI in the range of 75-100; “b” indicates % TGI in the range of 50-74; “c” indicates % TGI in the range of 25-49, and “d” indicates % TGI in the range of 0-24. Regiment of administration was once daily.
