This invention relates to compounds that inhibit the protein tyrosine kinase activity of growth factor receptors such as c-Met, thereby making them useful as anti-cancer agents. The pharmaceutical compositions that comprise these compounds are also useful in the treatment of diseases, other than cancer, which are associated with signal transduction pathways operating through growth factor and anti-angiogenesis receptors such as c-Met.
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), also known as scatter factor (SF), because of its ability to disrupt colony formation in vitro, is a mesenchymally derived cytokine known to induce multiple pleiotropic responses in normal and neoplastic cells (Sonnenberg et al., J. Cell Biol. 123:223-235, 1993; Matsumato et al., Crit. Rev. Oncog. 3:27-54, 1992; and Stoker et al., Nature 327:239-242, 1987). These responses are known to include proliferation in both epithelial and endothelial cells, dissociation of epithelial colonies into individual cells, stimulation of motility (motogenesis) of epithelial cells, cell survival, induction of cellular morphogenesis (Montesano et al., Cell 67:901-908, 1991), and promotion of invasion (Stella et al., Int. J. Biochem. Cell Biol. 12:1357-62, 1999 and Stuart et al., Int. J. Exp. Path. 81:17-30, 2000), all critical processes underlying metastasis. HGF has also been reported to promote angiogenesis (Bussolino et al., J. Cell Biol. 119:629-641, 1992). In addition, HGF plays a critical role in tissue regeneration, wound healing, and normal embryonic processes, all of which are dependent on both cell motility and proliferation.
HGF initiates these physiological processes through high affinity binding to its cognate receptor, the Met protein tyrosine kinase receptor, an identified protooncogene (Park et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:6379-83, 1987 and Bottaro et al., Science 251:802-4, 1991). The mature form of Met consists of a highly glycosylated external α-subunit as well as a β-subunit with a large extracellular domain, a transmembrane segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. Ligand engagement induces Met dimerization that results in an autophosphorylated activated receptor. Activation of Met promotes signal transduction cascades as defined by transphosphorylation of key cytoplasmic tyrosine residues responsible for recruiting multiple effector proteins (Furge et al., Oncogene 19:5582-9, 2000). These include the p85 subunit of the PI3-kinase, phospholipase Cγ (Gaul et al., Oncogene 19:1509-18, 2000), Grb2 and Shc adaptor proteins, the protein phosphatase SHP2 and Gab1. The latter adapter has emerged as the major downstream docking molecule that becomes tyrosine phosphorylated in response to ligand occupancy (Schaeper et al., J. Cell Biol. 149:1419-32, 2000; Bardelli, et al., Oncogene 18:1139-46, 1999 and Sachs et al., J. Cell Biol. 150:1375-84, 2000). Activation of other signaling molecules has been reported in HGF stimulated cells, most notably Ras, MAP kinases, STATs, ERK-1, -2 and FAK (Tanimura et al., Oncogene 17:57-65, 1998; Lai et al., J. Biol. Chem. 275:7474-80 2000 and Furge et al., Oncogene 19:5582-9, 2000). The role of many of these signaling molecules has been well established in cell proliferation.
Met, also referred to as hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR), is expressed predominantly in epithelial cells but has also been identified in endothelial cells, myoblasts, hematopoietic cells and motor neurons. Overexpression of HGF and activation of Met has been associated with the onset and progression in a number of different tumor types as well as in the promotion of metastatic disease. Initial evidence linking Met to cancer has been supported by the identification of kinase domain missense mutations, which predisposes individuals to papillary renal carcinomas (PRC) and hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) (Lubensky et al., Amer. J. Pathology, 155:517-26, 1999). Mutated forms of Met have also been identified in ovarian cancer, childhood HCC, gastric carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, colorectal metastasis (Christensen et al., Cancer Res., 63:7345-55, 2003; Lee et al., Oncogene, 19:4947-53, 2000 and Direnzo et al., Clin. Cancer Res., 1:147-54, 1995). In addition, further evidence supporting the role of the Met in cancer is based on the overexpression of HGF and Met receptor in various tumors including thyroid, ovarian and pancreatic carcinomas. It has also been demonstrated to be amplified in liver metastases of colorectal carcinomas (Rong et al. Cancer Res. 55:1963-1970, 1995; Rong et al., Cancer Res. 53:5355-5360, 1993; Kenworthy et al., Br. J. Cancer 66:243-247, 1992 and Scarpino et al. J. Pathology 189:570-575, 1999). TPR-Met (an activated form similar to BCR/Abl in CML) has been described and identified in human gastric carcinoma (PNAS 88:4892-6, 1991). In patients with invasive breast carcinoma and in a recent study in non small cell lung cancer patients, expression of either the receptor or ligand is a predictor of decreased survival, further linking Met to tumor progression (Camp et al., Cancer 86:2259-65 1999 and Masuya et al., Br. J. Cancer, 90:1555-62, 2004). In general, most human tumors and tumor cell lines of mesenchymal origin inappropriately express HGFR and/or HGF.
Numerous experimental data support the role of HGF and Met in tumor invasion, growth, survival and progression ultimately leading to metastases. Preclinically, transgenic expression of HGF results in a metastatic phenotype (Takayama et al., PNAS, 94:701-6, 1997) and an amplified/overexpressed Met spontaneously transforms NIH-3T3 cells (Cooper et al., EMBO J., 5:2623-8, 1986).
Biological agents, such as ribozymes, antibodies and antisense RNA targeting either HGF or Met have been shown to inhibit tumorogenesis (Stabile et al., Gene Therapy, 11:325-35, 2004, Jiang et al., Clin. Cancer Res, 9:4274-81, 2003 and Genentech U.S. Pat. No. 6,214,344, 2001). Thus, selective, small molecule kinase modulators targeting Met are expected to have therapeutic potential for the treatment of cancers in which Met receptor activation plays a critical role in the development and progression of primary tumors and secondary metastases.

Accordingly, the compounds of the instant invention may be in the free or hydrate form, and may be obtained by methods exemplified by the following schemes below.
General routes to the pyridine and pyrimidine analogues described in the invention are illustrated in Scheme 1. An appropriately substituted pyridine or pyrimidine 1 can be treated with functionalized phenols 2, 4, and 8 in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, or potassium carbonate, to furnish the desired ethers 3, 5, and 9, respectively. Removal of the acetamide protecting group of compound 3 with aqueous HCl in methanol provides the key intermediate 5. Alternatively, aniline 5 can be obtained from compound 9 via reduction of the nitro group with either zinc dust and ammonium chloride or Adams' catalyst (platinum (IV) oxide) under hydrogenation conditions. Analogues 6 and 7 can then be prepared by acylation of aniline 5 with, for example isocyanates, acid chlorides or by treatment with a carboxylic acid and a coupling reagent, such as: benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(trimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP reagent), bromotripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBroP), O-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU). Formation of the acylthiourea of 6 (Y=S, Z=NH) can be accomplished by treating aniline 5 with an appropriately substituted isothiocyanate.
The two different regioisomeric aminopyrimidine analogues 14 and 19 can be prepared using the synthetic routes outlined in Schemes 2 and 3. PMB-protected aminopyrimidine 11, derived from commercially available 2,4-dichloropyrimidine (10, Aldrich), can be converted to ether 13 via aniline 12 using the same chemistry outlined in Scheme 1. Removal of the PMB group of 13 can be accomplished with trifluoroacetic acid and anisole to generate compound 14.
Similarly, PMB-protected aminopyrimidine 16, derived from commercially available 4,6-dichloropyrimidine (15, TCI America), can be converted to ether 17 following the PMB deprotection step (Scheme 3). Bis-Boc (t-butyloxycarbonyl) protection of the amine of 17 with excess di-tert-butyl dicarbonate followed by hydrogenation with Adams' catalyst provides aniline 18. Amine 19 can be obtained from compound 18 following an acylation or thiourea formation step and removal of the Boc protecting groups under acidic conditions.
Aminopyridazine derivative 26 may be prepared using the synthetic route outlined in Scheme 4 which is based on similar chemistry cited in the following references: Chung, H.-A. et al. J. Heterocyclic Chem. 1999, 36, 905-910 and Bryant R. D. et al. J. Heterocyclic Chem. 1995, 32, 1473-1476, the disclosures of which are herein incorporated by reference. 4,5-Dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one (20, Aldrich) can be protected with, for example a tetrahydropyran (THP) group to give intermediate 21. Treatment of compound 21 with an appropriately substituted phenol and a base (i.e., sodium hydride) followed by reduction of the nitro containing intermediate under catalytic hydrogenation conditions can provide aniline 22. Protection of the aniline group of 22 as a bis-benzyl carbamate (Cbz) followed by removal of the THP group under acidic conditions may furnish compound 23. Treatment of compound 23 with either trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA), phosphorous oxychloride or phosphorous oxybromide in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine may introduce the necessary leaving group at the 3-position of compound 24. Displacement of the leaving group X of compound 24 with an appropriately substituted amine, followed by removal of the Cbz groups can generate intermediate 25. Aniline 25 may be converted to the desired 3-aminopyridazine analogue 26 using chemistry previously described in Schemes 1-3.
2-Aminopyridine derivatives may be prepared using the synthetic routes outlined in Schemes 5 and 6. Aniline 27, derived from chemistry described in Scheme 1 may be converted to intermediate 28 upon heating with Cu powder and potassium carbonate in benzylamine (Scheme 5). Removal of the benzyl protecting group of compound 28 under catalytic hydrogenation conditions with palladium on carbon provides aminopyridine 29. Intermediates 28 or 29 can be treated with isothiocyanates 30, isocyanates 32, and carboxylic acids 34 in the presence of a coupling reagent to afford acylthiourea 31, acylurea 33, and amide 35, respectively.
In a related approach, 2-chloropyridine intermediate 36, obtained using chemistry described in Scheme 1 can be converted to the N-oxide 37 using 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) in chloroform (see, WO2004/002410) (Scheme 6). Treatment of compound 37 with an appropriately substituted amine can afford intermediate 38. Reduction of the N-oxide of compound 38 with, for example triphenylphosphine, followed by removal of the acetamide protecting group under acidic conditions can provide aniline 39. Conversion of aniline 39 to the desired analogue 40 can be accomplished using chemistry previously described in Schemes 1-5.
In an alternative approach to compounds related to 40, the 2-aminopyridine derivatives 47 and 48 may be prepared according to the synthetic sequence illustrated in Scheme 7. To this end, 4-chloropicolinic acid (41, TCI America) can be converted to 4-chloropicolinamide (42) using a two step procedure involving thionylchloride followed by ammonia in methanol. Coupling of intermediate 42 with 4-aminophenol derivative 43, in the presence of a base, such as potassium t-butoxide can afford the picolinamide derivative 44. Acylation or acylurea formation of intermediate 44 can provide intermediates such as 45 and 46. Treatment of the picolinamide derivatives 45 and 46 with either bis-(trifluoroacetoxy)-iodobenzene, pyridine and water in DMF or bromine, potassium hydroxide in water promotes a Hofmann rearrangement to generate the desired 2-aminopyridine derivatives 47 and 48.
Thiazole containing compounds 53, 57 and 62 can be prepared using the synthetic routes described in Schemes 8-10. Displacement of the leaving groups of 49 (Scheme 8) or 54 (Scheme 9) with an aniline/phenol 50 can provide intermediates 51 and 55, respectively. Reduction of the nitro substituents of 51 and 55 with zinc dust and ammonium chloride in a THF-MeOH mixture should generate anilines 52 and 56, respectively. Conversion of anilines 52 and 56 to the desired compounds 53 and 57 can be accomplished using chemistry previously described (vide supra).
Reductive amination of aldehyde 58 can be achieved using the methods described in WO 2004/001059, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety, using an appropriately substituted aniline 59 can furnish the nitro intermediate 60 (Scheme 10). The desired aminothiazole derivative 62 can then be obtained using chemistry similar to that which was described in Schemes 8 and 9.
Incorporation of various substituents at the 3-position of the pyridine nucleus can be accomplished using the chemistry outlined in Scheme 11. To this end, 4-chloro-3-iodopyridine (63, Tabanella, S. et al. Org. Biomol. Chem. 2003, 1, 4254-4261.) can be coupled with the 4-nitrophenol derivative 8 in the presence of a base, such as diisopropylethylamine (Hunig's base) to afford the desired iodide intermediate 64. A variety of organometallic mediated coupling reactions can then be carried out with the iodide derivative 64, examples of which are illustrated in Scheme 11. The iodide 64 can be treated with amines (R″R′NH), substituted alkynes 66, arylboronates 67, vinylstannanes, and α,β-unsaturated esters in the presence of a palladium or copper catalyst to afford the intermediates 65, 68-71, respectively. The nitro moiety of compounds 65 and 68-71 can be reduced with, for example zinc dust and ammonium chloride in a THF-MeOH mixture, and the resulting aniline intermediates can be acylated using chemistry previously described in Schemes 1-5. Intermediate 71 can then be converted to the α,β-unsaturated amides 73 (Scheme 12). Compound 72, derived from acid promoted hydrolysis of ester 71, can be coupled with various amines (R″R′NH) in the presence of a coupling reagent such as, but not limited to EDCI, TBTU, DCC, to furnish the desired amide intermediate 73. Reduction of the nitro moiety of 73 and subsequent acylation of the requisite aniline intermediate can be accomplished using chemistry previously described in Schemes 1-5.
Intermediate 74 can also be further modified to prepare propargylic amines 76 (Scheme 13). Mesylation of the propargylic alcohol 74, can be accomplished with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a base, such as diisopropylethylamine (Hunig's base) to provide the mesylate 75. Displacement of the mesylate group of compound 75 with various amines (R″R′NH) can provide the propargylic amines 76. Reduction of the nitro moiety of 76 and subsequent acylation of the requisite aniline intermediate can be accomplished using chemistry previously described in Schemes 1-5.
The 3-aminopyridine derivatives 79 and 80 can be prepared according to the synthetic route described in Scheme 14. To this end, 4-chloro-3-nitropyridine (77, Lancaster Synthesis Ltd.) can be coupled with 4-aminophenol in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydride in DMF to afford the nitro intermediate 78. Chemistry previously described above can be used to convert intermediate 78 to the desired compounds 79 and 80. The amino substituent of 79 and 80 can also be further modified, for example via alkylation, acylation, arylation or sulfonylation.
Incorporation of substituents on either the 5- or 3-position of the 2-aminopyridine ring can be accomplished using the iodide intermediates 83 and 86, respectively (Schemes 15 and 16). The 2-carboxamide derivative 81 can be converted to the 2-aminopyridine derivative 82 using the Hofmann rearrangement protocol previously described in Scheme 7. Iodination of the 5-position of compound 82 can be achieved with N-iodosuccinimide in an acetonitrile-isopropanol mixture to afford the desired iodide intermediate 83. Alternatively, t-butyl 4-chloropyridin-2-ylcarbamate (84, CB Research and Development Inc.) can be converted to t-butyl 4-chloro-3-iodopyridin-2-ylcarbamate (85) via a two step process involving n-butyllithium in THF at low temperature followed by the addition of iodine. Removal of the N-Boc (t-butylcarbamate) protecting group of 85 with refluxing aqueous hydrogen bromide followed by coupling of the chloride intermediate with the 4-nitrophenol derivative 8 in the presence diisopropylamine (Hunig's base) in N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) at elevated temperature can provide the iodide intermediate 86. The iodide intermediates 83 and 86 can be further processed using chemistry similar to that previously described in Scheme 11.
The methylene linked (B=CH2) analogues 93 and 94 can be prepared according to the synthetic sequence outlined in Scheme 17. Compound 88, derived from N-Boc protection of the 4-bromoaniline derivative 87, can be treated with methylmagnesium bromide followed by tert-butyllithium and 2-chloroisonicotinaldehyde (Frey, L. F. et al. Tetrahedron Lett. 2001, 42, 6815-6818) at low temperature to provide intermediate 90. Oxidation of the pyridine ring of 90 with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA), followed by displacement of the chloro substituent with an amine (R′NH2) and subsequent reduction of the N-oxide intermediate with zinc and ammonium formate in methanol can provide intermediate 91. When allylamine is used as the nucleophilic amine (R′NH2), the allyl group can be removed from the amine of 91 using a rhodium catalyst in an ethanol-water mixture. Removal of the hydroxyl group of 91 can be accomplished by two different methods. For example, hydrogenolysis of compound 91 in the presence of a palladium catalyst, followed by deprotection of the N-Boc group on the aniline under acidic conditions (HCl in methanol) can afford compound 92. Alternatively, compound 92 can be obtained by acylation of the alcohol of 91 and subsequent hydrogenolysis of the intermediate in the presence of a palladium catalyst and removal of the N-Boc protecting group under acidic conditions (trifluoroacetic acid in methylene chloride). Intermediate 92 can then be acylated to furnish the desired compounds 93 and 94 using chemistry previously described in Schemes 1-5.
The heterocyclic amide derivatives 100 and 105 can be prepared according to the synthetic routes described in Schemes 18 and 19. To this end, methyl 2-oxo-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate (97) can be obtained in a two step process beginning with commercially available (E)-dimethyl 2-(3-methoxyallylidene)malonate (95) (Scheme 18). Thus, treatment of compound 95 with aniline at room temperature can provide intermediate 96, which can then cyclized in the presence of a base, such as sodium hydride in dimethylsulfoxide to generate 97. Hydrolysis of intermediate 97 under basic conditions can provide 2-oxo-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (98). The carboxylic acid 98 can then be coupled with the aniline derivative 99 in the presence of a coupling reagent, such as 1-(dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) and hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) in DMF to furnish the desired compound 100.
The pyridyl N-oxide intermediate 104 (Scheme 19) can be obtained by a two step process in which the commercially available 6-bromopicolinic acid (101) is coupled with the phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane 102 (Aldrich) in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst and sodium carbonate, followed by oxidation of the requisite intermediate 103 at elevated temperature. Coupling of intermediate 104 with the aniline derivative 99 can furnish the desired compound 105.

These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium crosscarmellose, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example, magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to mask the unpleasant taste of the drug or delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a water soluble taste masking material such as hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose or hydroxypropyl-cellulose, or a time delay material such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate may be employed.
Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water soluble carrier such as polyethyleneglycol or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.

For example, the active ingredient may be first dissolved in a mixture of soybean oil and lecithin. The oil solution then introduced into a water and glycerol mixture and processed to form a microemulation.
The injectable solutions or microemulsions may be introduced into a patient's blood-stream by local bolus injection. Alternatively, it may be advantageous to administer the solution or microemulsion in such a way as to maintain a constant circulating concentration of the instant compound.

To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen. Compounds of the present invention may also be delivered as a suppository employing bases such as cocoa butter, glycerinated gelatin, hydrogenated vegetable oils, mixtures of polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights and fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol.
When a compound according to this invention is administered into a human subject, the daily dosage will normally be determined by the prescribing physician with the dosage generally varying according to the age, weight, sex and response of the individual patient, as well as the severity of the patient's symptoms.
If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the dosage range described above and the other pharmaceutically active agent or treatment within its approved dosage range. Compounds of Formulas I and II may also be administered sequentially with known anticancer or cytotoxic agents when a combination formulation is inappropriate.

Incubation mixtures employed for the Met kinase assay contain the synthetic substrate polyGlu:Tyr, (4:1), ATP, ATP-γ-33P and buffer containing Mn++ and/or Mg++, DTT, BSA, and Tris buffer. Reactions were incubated for 60 minutes at 27° C. and stopped by the addition of cold trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to a final concentration 4%. TCA precipitates were collected onto GF/C unifilter plates (Packard Instrument Co., Meriden, Conn.) using a Filtermate universal harvester (Packard Instrument Co., Meriden, Conn.) and the filters are quantitated using a TopCount 96-well liquid scintillation counter (Packard Instrument Co., Meriden, Conn.). Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration required to inhibit 50% of kinase activity (IC50). Compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and evaluated at six concentrations, each in quadruplicate. The final concentration of DMSO in the assay is 1%. IC50 values were derived by non-linear regression analysis and had a coefficient of variance (SD/mean, n=6)=16%.
Preferred compounds of the invention inhibit Met kinase with IC50 values between 0.01 to 100 μM. The most preferred compounds have IC50 values of less than 0.5 μM.
