This application claims priority to European Patent Application No. 15202348.7 filed on Dec. 23, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to compounds and compositions that are p38 MAPK inhibitors and are useful as anti-inflammatory agents in the treatment of, inter alia, diseases of the respiratory tract.
Mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) constitute a family of proline-directed serine/threonine kinases that activate their substrates by dual phosphorylation. There are four known human isoforms of p38 MAP kinase, p38α, p38β, p38γ, and p38δ. The p38 kinases, which are also known as cytokine suppressive anti-inflammatory drug binding proteins (CSBP), stress activated protein kinases (SAPK) and RK, are responsible for phosphorylating (see Stein et al., Ann. Rep. Med Chem., 1996, 31, 289-298, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) and activating transcription factors (such as ATF-2, MAX, CHOP and C/ERPb) as well as other kinases (such as MAPKAP-K2/3 or MK2/3), and are themselves activated by physical and chemical stress (e.g. UV, osmotic stress), pro-inflammatory cytokines and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (see Herlaar E. & Brown Z., Molecular Medicine Today, 1999, 5, 439-447, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). The products of p38 phosphorylation have been shown to mediate the production of inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin-(IL)-1, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). IL-1 and TNFα are also known to stimulate the production of other proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-8.
IL-1 and TNFα are biological substances produced by a variety of cells, such as monocytes or macrophages. IL-1 has been demonstrated to mediate a variety of biological activities thought to be important in immunoregulation and other physiological conditions such as inflammation (see, e.g. Dinarello et al., Rev. Infect. Disease, 1984, 6, 51, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Excessive or unregulated TNF production (particularly TNFα) has been implicated in mediating or exacerbating a number of diseases, and it is believed that TNF can cause or contribute to the effects of inflammation in general. IL-8 is a chemotactic factor produced by several cell types including mononuclear cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes. Its production from endothelial cells is induced by IL-1, TNF, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). IL-8 stimulates a number of functions in vitro. It has been shown to have chemoattractant properties for neutrophils, T-lymphocytes and basophils. Increase in IL-8 production is also responsible for chemotaxis of neutrophils into the inflammatory site in vivo. Inhibition of signal transduction via p38, which in addition to IL-1, TNF and IL-8 described above is also required for the synthesis and/or action of several additional pro-inflammatory proteins (e.g., IL-6, GM-CSF, COX-2, collagenase and stromelysin), is expected to be a highly effective mechanism for regulating the excessive and destructive activation of the immune system. This expectation is supported by the potent and diverse anti-inflammatory activities described for p38 kinase inhibitors (see Badger et al., J. Pharm. Exp. Thera., 1996, 279, 1453-1461; Griswold et al, Pharmacol. Comm.,1996, 7, 323-229, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties). In particular, p38 kinase inhibitors have been described as potential agents for treating rheumatoid arthritis. In addition to the links between p38 activation and chronic inflammation and arthritis, there is also data implicating a role for p38 in the pathogenesis of airway diseases in particular COPD and asthma. Stress stimuli (including tobacco smoke, infections or oxidative products) can cause inflammation within the lung environment. Inhibitors of p38 have been shown to inhibit LPS and ovalbumin induced airway TNF-α, IL-β, IL-6, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 (see Haddad et al, Br. J. Pharmacol., 2001, 132 (8), 1715-1724; Underwood et al, Am. J. Physiol. Lung Cell. Mol. 2000, 279, 895-902; Duan et al., 2005 Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med., 171, 571-578; Escott et al Br. J. Pharmacol., 2000, 131, 173-176; Underwood et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2000, 293, 281-288, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties). Furthermore, they significantly inhibit neutrophilia and the release of MMP-9 in LPS, ozone or cigarette smoke animal models. There is also a significant body of preclinical data highlighting the potential benefits of inhibition of the p38 kinase that could be relevant in the lung (see Lee et al., Immunopharmacology, 2000, 47, 185-200, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Thus, therapeutic inhibition of p38 activation may be important in the regulation of airway inflammation.
The implication of the p38MAPK pathway in various diseases has been reviewed by P. Chopra et al. (Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2008, 17(10), 1411-1425, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). It is believed that the compounds of the present invention can be used to treat p38 mediated diseases such as: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, chronic or acute bronchoconstriction, bronchitis, acute lung injury and bronchiectasis, pulmonary artery hypertension, tuberculosis, lung cancer, inflammation generally (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease), arthritis, neuroinflammation, pain, fever, fibrotic diseases, pulmonary disorders and diseases (e.g., hyperoxic alveolar injury), cardiovascular diseases, post -ischemic reperfusion injury and congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, stroke, ischemia, reperfusion injury, renal reperfusion injury, brain edema, neurotrauma and brain trauma, neurodegenerative disorders, central nervous system disorders, liver disease and nephritis, gastrointestinal conditions, ulcerative diseases, Crohn's disease, ophthalmic diseases, ophthalmological conditions, glaucoma, acute injury to the eye tissue and ocular traumas, diabetes, diabetic nephropathy, skin-related conditions, myalgias due to infection, influenza, endotoxic shock, toxic shock syndrome, autoimmune disease, graft rejection, bone resorption diseases, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, eczema, disorders of the female reproductive system, pathological (but non-malignant) conditions, such as hemangiomas, angiofibroma of the nasopharynx, and avascular necrosis of bone, benign and malignant tumors/neoplasia including cancer, leukaemia, lymphoma, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), angiogenesis including neoplasia, haemorrhage, coagulation, radiation damage, and/or metastasis. Chronic release of active TNF can cause cachexia and anorexia, and TNF can be lethal. TNF has also been implicated in infectious diseases. These include, for example, malaria, mycobacterial infection and meningitis. These also include viral infections, such as HIV, influenza virus, and herpes virus, including herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1), herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2), cytomegalovirus (CMV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), Epstein-Barr virus, human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6), human herpesvirus-7 (HHV7), human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8), pseudorabies and rhinotracheitis, among others.
Known P38 kinase inhibitors have been reviewed by G. J. Hanson (Expert Opinions on Therapeutic Patents, 1997, 7, 729-733, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) J Hynes et al. (Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2005, 5, 967-985, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), C. Dominguez et al (Expert Opinions on Therapeutics Patents, 2005, 15, 801-816, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) and L. H. Pettus & R. P. Wurtz (Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2008, 8, 1452-1467, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). P38 kinase inhibitors are known in the art, for example WO 2014/195400 and WO 2013/083604, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
However, there remains a need for improved compounds that are p38 MAPK inhibitors and are useful as anti-inflammatory agents in the treatment of, inter alia, diseases of the respiratory tract.
Accordingly, it is one object of the present invention to provide novel compounds which are kinase inhibitors.
It is another object of the present invention to provide novel compounds and compositions that are p38 MAPK inhibitors.
It is another object of the present invention to provide novel methods of treating diseases of the respiratory tract by administering such a compound.
These and other objects, which will become apparent during the following detailed description, have been achieved by the inventors' discovery of the compounds of formula (I) described below.
The compounds of the present invention are inhibitors of p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (“p38 MAPK,” “p38 kinase,” or “p38”), including p38a kinase, and are inhibitors of cytokine and chemokine production including TNFα and IL-8 production. They have a number of therapeutic applications, in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, particularly allergic and non-allergic airways diseases, more particularly obstructive or inflammatory airways diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”) and asthma. They are therefore particularly suited for pulmonary delivery, by inhalation by nose or mouth.
Thus one object of the present invention is to identify more potent anti-inflammatory agents to be used in the treatment of diseases of the respiratory tract.
The BEAS-2B cells are Bronchial Epithelial cells and it is known in the literature that this cell line releases IL-8 upon stimulation with TNFα (see King E M, Holden N S, Gong W, Rider C F, Newton R. J Biol Chem. 2009; 284(39):26803-15, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) and p38 inhibitors inhibit the release of IL-8 in TNFα stimulated BEAS-2B cells (see Chmura K, Bai X, Nakamura M, Kandasamy P, McGibney M, Kuronuma K, Mitsuzawa H, Voelker D R, Chan E D. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol. 2008; 295(1):L220-30, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).
Another object of the present invention is to identify novel potent p38 mitogen activated protein kinase inhibitors which show an appropriate developability profile on inhalatory administration to effectively treat respiratory obstructive or inflammatory diseases. It is to be understood that such profile may be achieved in a number of different ways by modulation of specific properties; by way of example, it could be achieved by administration of a low effective dose of the drug thus limiting side effects or via along duration of action in the lungs which may reduce the frequency of administration.

As mentioned above the compounds of the invention are p38MAPK inhibitors, and thus may have utility for the treatment of diseases or conditions which benefit from inhibition of the p38 enzyme. Such diseases and conditions are known from the literature and several have been mentioned above. However, the compounds are generally of use as anti-inflammatory agents, particularly for use in the treatment of respiratory disease. In particular, the compounds may be used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, lung fibrosis, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pulmonary emphysema, or smoking-induced emphysema, intrinsic (non-allergic asthma and extrinsic (allergic) asthma, mild asthma, moderate asthma, severe asthma, steroid resistant asthma, neutrophilic asthma, bronchitic asthma, exercise induced asthma, occupational asthma and asthma induced following bacterial infection, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis and bronchiectasis.
The present invention provides the use of the compounds of the invention for the prevention and/or treatment of any disease or condition which benefit from inhibition of the p38 enzyme.
In a further aspect the present invention provides the use of compounds of the invention for the preparation of a medicament for the prevention and/or treatment of any disease or condition which benefit from inhibition of the p38 enzyme.
Moreover the present invention provides a method for prevention and/or treatment of any disease which benefit from inhibition of the p38 enzyme, said method comprises administering to a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention.
As mentioned above, the compounds with which the invention is concerned are p38 kinase inhibitors, and are useful in the treatment of several diseases for example inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract. Examples of such diseases are referred to above, and include asthma, rhinitis, allergic airway syndrome, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
It will be understood that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination and the severity of the particular disease undergoing treatment. Optimum dose levels and frequency of dosing will be determined by clinical trial, as is required in the pharmaceutical art. In general, the daily dose range for oral administration will lie within the range of from about 0.001 mg to about 100 mg per kg body weight of a human, often 0.01 mg to about 50 mg per kg, for example 0.1 to 10 mg per kg, in single or divided doses. In general, the daily dose range for inhaled administration will lie within the range of from about 0.1 μg to about 1 mg per kg body weight of a human, preferably 0.1 μg to 50 μg per kg, in single or divided doses. On the other hand, it may be necessary to use dosages outside these limits in some cases. For the purpose of the invention, inhaled administration is preferred.
The compounds with which the invention is concerned may be prepared for administration by any route consistent with their pharmacokinetic properties. Orally administrable compositions may be in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, granules, lozenges, liquid or gel preparations, such as oral, topical, or sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions. Tablets and capsules for oral administration may be in unit dose presentation form, and may contain conventional excipients such as binding agents, for example syrup, acacia, gelatin, sorbitol, tragacanth, or polyvinyl-pyrrolidone; fillers for example lactose, sugar, maize-starch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol or glycine; tabletting lubricant, for example magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol or silica; disintegrants for example potato starch, or acceptable wetting agents such as sodium lauryl sulfate. The tablets may be coated according to methods well known in normal pharmaceutical practice. Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of, for example, aqueous or oily suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, or may be presented as a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents, for example sorbitol, syrup, methyl cellulose, glucose syrup, gelatin hydrogenated edible fats; emulsifying agents, for example lecithin, sorbitan monooleate, or acacia; non-aqueous vehicles (which may include edible oils), for example almond oil, fractionated coconut oil, oily esters such as glycerine, propylene glycol, or ethyl alcohol; preservatives, for example methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid, and if desired conventional flavoring or coloring agents.
For topical application to the skin, the drug may be made up into a cream, lotion or ointment. Cream or ointment formulations which may be used for the drug are conventional formulations well known in the art, for example as described in standard textbooks of pharmaceutics such as the British Pharmacopoeia, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The active ingredient may also be administered parenterally in a sterile medium. Depending on the vehicle and concentration used, the drug can either be suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. Advantageously, adjuvants such as a local anaesthetic, preservative and buffering agents can be dissolved in the vehicle.
However, for treatment of an inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract, compounds of the invention may also be formulated for inhalation, for example as a nasal spray, or dry powder or aerosol inhalers. For delivery by inhalation, the active compound is preferably in the form of microparticles. They may be prepared by a variety of techniques, including spray-drying, freeze-drying and micronization. Aerosol generation can be carried out using, for example, pressure-driven jet atomizers or ultrasonic atomizers, preferably using propellant-driven metered aerosols or propellant-free administration of micronized active compounds from, for example, inhalation capsules or other “dry powder” delivery systems.
By way of example, a composition of the invention may be prepared as a suspension for delivery from a nebulizer or as an aerosol in a liquid propellant, for example for use in a pressurised metered dose inhaler (PMDI). Propellants suitable for use in a PMDI are known to the skilled person, and include CFC-12, HFA-134a, HFA-227, HCFC-22 and HFA-152.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a composition of the invention is in dry powder form, for delivery using a dry powder inhaler (DPI).
Microparticles for delivery by administration may be formulated with excipients that aid delivery and release. For example, in a dry powder formulation, microparticles may be formulated with large carrier particles that aid flow from the DPI into the lung. Suitable carrier particles are known, and include lactose particles; they may have a mass median aerodynamic diameter of greater than 90 μm.
In the case of an aerosol-based formulation, an example is:

In one aspect of the present invention, a process for the preparation of compounds of the invention is provided, according to general synthetic routes described in this section. In the following reaction schemes, unless otherwise indicated, the groups mentioned assume the same meaning as those reported for compounds of formula (I), (II) and (III).
The skilled person may introduce, where appropriate, suitable variations to the conditions specifically described in the examples in order to adapt the synthetic routes to the provision of further compounds of the invention. Such variations may include, but are not limited to, use of appropriate starting materials to generate different compounds, changes in the solvent and temperature of reactions, replacements of reactants with analogous chemical role, introduction or removal of protection/deprotection stages of functional groups sensitive to reaction conditions and reagents, as well as introduction or removal of specific synthetic steps oriented to further functionalization of the chemical scaffold.
Processes which can be used and are described and reported in Examples and Schemes, should not be viewed as limiting the scope of the synthetic methods available for the preparation of the compounds of the invention.
The process described is particularly advantageous as it is susceptible of being properly modulated, through any proper variant known to the skilled person, so as to obtained any of the desired compounds of the invention. Such variants are comprised within the scope of the present invention.
From all of the above, it should be clear to the skilled person that any of the described groups may be present as such or in any properly protected form.
In particular, functional groups present in the intermediate and compounds and which could generate unwanted side reaction and by-products, need to be properly protected before the alkylation, acylation, coupling or sulfonylation takes place. Likewise, subsequent deprotection of those same protected groups may follow upon completion of the said reactions.
In the present invention, unless otherwise indicated, the term “protecting group” designates a protective group adapted to preserve the function of the group it is bound to. Typically, protective groups are used to preserve amino, hydroxyl, or carboxyl functions. Appropriate protecting groups may thus include, for example, benzyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, alkyl or benzyl esters or the like, which are well known to those skilled in the art (see, for a general reference, T.W. Green; Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (Wiley, N.Y. 1981), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).
Likewise, selective protection and deprotection of any of the said groups, for instance including carbonyl, hydroxyl or amino groups, may be accomplished according to very well-known methods commonly employed in organic synthetic chemistry.
Optional salification of the compounds of formula (I) may be carried out by properly converting any of the free acidic or amino groups into the corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salts. In this case too, the operative conditions being employed for the optional salification of the compounds of the invention are all within the ordinary knowledge of the skilled person.
From all of the above, it should be clear that the above process, comprehensive of any variant thereof for the preparation of suitable compounds of the invention, may be conveniently modified so that to adapt the reaction conditions to the specific needs, for instance by choosing appropriate condensing agents, solvents and protective groups, as the case may be.

The inhibitory activity of compounds was determined using an Alphascreen® (Perkin Elmer) based kinase activity assay. Kinase reactions consisted of 25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 100μM Na3VO4, 2 mM DTT, 0.05 mg/ml Tween 20, 100 μM p38alpha (Invitrogen, PV3304), 1% DMSO and 0.3 μg/ml ATF-2 fusion protein (New England Biolabs, 9224). Compounds were incubated under these conditions for 2 hours, at 25° C., prior to the initiation of the kinase activity by the addition of the 250 μM ATP. Reaction volumes were 20 uL. After 1 hr at 25° C. reactions were stopped by the adding 10 uL of 25 mM HEPES pH 7.5 containing 62.5 mM EDTA, 0.05% Triton X-100, 10% BSA and 0.83 ng/uL anti-phospho-ATF2 antibody (Abcam, ab28812). Detection was performed by measuring luminescence following the addition of Alphascreen Donor beads (Perkin Elmer 6765300) and Protein A Alphascreen Acceptor beads (Perkin Elmer 6760137), both at a final concentration of 20 ug/ml. IC50 values were determined from concentration-response curves.
Results are shown in the following Table.
In the table above, p38a potencies (IC50 values) are indicated as follows:
1-10 nM ‘+’;

Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy human volunteer blood using a standard density gradient centrifugation technique. Citrated blood was placed onto Histopaque™ and centrifuged. The PBMCs were removed from the density gradient interface and washed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The PBMCs were suspended in RPMI 1640 medium (without serum), dispensed into a 96-well plate and incubated at 37° C. for 3 h in a humidified incubator. After incubation, the medium was replaced (with medium containing 1% foetal bovine serum) and the plate incubated at 37° C., for 1 h, in the presence of test compound or the appropriate vehicle. LPS (10 ng/ml), or an appropriate vehicle control, was then added to the cells and the plate returned to the incubator for 18 h. Cell-free supernatants were removed and assayed for TNFα levels using MSD plates on the Sector Imager 6000 (MesoScale).
A dose response curve to each test compound was performed and the effect of compound in each experiment was expressed as a percentage inhibition of the control TNFα release. Dose response curves were plotted and compound potency (IC50) was determined. Compounds were tested in at least three separate experiments.
Results are shown in the following Table.
In the table above, human PBMC potencies (IC50 values) are indicated as follows:
>5 nM ‘+’;
1-5 nM ‘++’;
<1 nM ‘+++’
The compounds of the invention show human PBMC potencies (IC50 values)<20 nM.
Human bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B was purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, Mo.). BEAS-2B cells were cultured in Bronchial Epithelial cell Growth Medium (BEGM), prepared by supplementing Bronchial Epithelial Basal Medium with SingleQuotes™ (Lonza, Switzerland), which contains retinoic acid, epidermal growth factor, epinephrine, transferrin, triiodothyronin, insulin, hydrocortisone, antimicrobial agents, and bovine pituitary extract. In addition, BEGM medium was supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 100 U penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Life Technologies), in an atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2 at 37° C.
BEAS-2B were seeded in 48-well plates at the density of 3×104 cells per well, grown to approximately 80-90% confluence. Cells were pre-incubated with p38 inhibitors for 1 hour and then stimulated with TNF-a (10 ng/ml) for 18 h at 37° C. with 5% CO2. Subsequently, supernatants were collected and used for measuring IL-8 levels using a paired antibody quantitative ELISA kit purchased from Life Technologies (detection limit: 5 μg/ml). All the treatments were performed at least in quadruplicate.
A concentration-response curve to each test compound was performed and the effect of compound in each experiment was expressed as a percentage inhibition of the control IL-8 release. Compound potency (IC50) was calculated by the analysis of the sigmoidal dose-response curve (variable slope) elaborated by Graph Pad PRISM4 program.
Results are shown in the following Table.
In the table above, BEAS-2B potencies (IC50 values) are indicated as follows:
>1 nM ‘+’;
0.3-1 nM ‘++’;
<0.3 nM ‘+++’
Anti-inflammatory activity of P38alpha inhibitors in a LPS-challenge model in rat
Twelve hours after compound/vehicle administration, rats are challenged intratracheally with LPS. Four hours later, rats are sacrificed, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) collected and the total cell number and neutrophil numbers determined. Anti-inflammatory activity is represented by a reduction in the number of neutrophils as compared to a vehicle-treated control group.
