Description
[0001] The present invention relates to novel compounds which are protein kinase C inhibitors, methods for their preparation, intermediates therefor and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them.
[0002] Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of phospholipid-dependent serine/threonine-specific protein kinases which play an important role in cellular growth control, regulation and differentiation.
[0003] Since the activation of PKC has been implicated in several human disease processes, including various forms of cancer, different forms of inflammatory and/or immunological disorders as well as some neurological disorders, inhibition of PKC could be of therapeutic value in treating these conditions.
[0004] Several classes of compounds have been identified as PKC inhibitors, e.g. isoquinoline sulphonamides, sphingosine and related sphingolipids, indolocarbazoles and bisindolylmaleimides.
[0005] Although PKC inhibitors are described in the prior art, there is a need for specific anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive compounds which are suitable for oral administration, and for inhalation.
[0006] The present invention provides PKC inhibitors, methods for their preparation and intermediates used for their preparation.
[0007] The present invention also provides the use of the compounds of the present invention for the treatment of inflammatory, immunological, bronchopulmonary, cardiovascular, oncological or CNS-degenerative disorders.
[0008] Also provided by the present invention are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound according to the present invention, as active ingredient, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier.
[0009] The present invention provides optionally substituted and/or annulated compounds of formula (I)
2
[0010] wherein X, Y, Z and A is each independently carbon or nitrogen, and at least two of X, Y, Z and A are carbon;
[0011] and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof with the proviso that the following compounds are not included in formula (I):
[0012] 3-(1H-Indol-3-yl)-1H-quinoxalin-2-one,
[0013] 3-(2-Methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-1H-quinoxalin-2-one, and
[0014] 3-(1,2-Diphenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-1H-quinoxalin-2-one.
[0015] Preferred compounds of formula (I) are those of formula (IA):
3
[0016] wherein
[0017] X, Y, Z and A are as defined above,
[0018] R1, R2, R3, and R4 is each independently H, hydroxy, amino, nitro, halo, C1-6 alkyl, phenylC1-6 alkyl, C1-6 alkoxy, haloC1-6 alkyl, carboxyC1-6 alkyl ester or R1 and R2 or R2 and R3 or R3 and R4 form an annulated aromatic ring, or when the atom to which it would be attached is nitrogen, is absent;
[0019] R5 and R6 is each independently H, C1-6 alkyl, hydroxyC1-6 alkyl, aminoC1-6 alkyl, phenylC1-6 alkyl, carboxyC1-6 alkyl, C1-6 alkenyl, (phenylC1-3 alkoxy)C1-3 alkyl, (C1-6 acyloxy)C1-6 alkyl, (C1-6 alkoxycarbonyl)C1-6 alkyl, (mono- or di-C1-6 alkyl)aminoC1-6 alkyl (C1-6 alkyl)aminocarbonylC1-6 alkyl, (C1-6 acylamino)C1-6 alkyl, (aminoC1-3 alkylphenyl)C1-3 alkyl, or aminodeoxysugar;
[0020] R7 and R8 is each independently H, amino, nitro, hydroxy, halogen, C1-6 alkoxy, phenylC1-6 alkoxy or carboxyC1-6 alkyl ester;
[0021] R9 is H, C1-6 alkyl, phenyl, halophenyl or phenylC1-6 alkyl and wherein when R5 and R9 together comprise 3-5 carbons they may be linked to generate a cyclic moiety which may be aminoC1-6 alkyl substituted;
[0022] and wherein at least one of R1 to R9 is not H and wherein when the only one of R1 to R9 which is not H is R9, R9 is not methyl;
[0023] and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
[0024] The compounds of formula (IA), in which at least one of R5 and R6 carries an amino, carboxy or hydroxy group; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may be prepared by,
[0025] a) deprotecting a compound of formula (II) corresponding to formula (IA) but in which at least one of R5 and R6 carries a protected amino, carboxy or hydroxy group, or
[0026] b) converting a compound of formula (IA), in which at least one of R5 and R6 carries an amino or carboxy group
[0027] i) to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or vice versa; or
[0028] ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula (IA) into a different pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
[0029] The compounds of formula (IA), in which R6 is hydrogen, may be prepared by reacting a compound of formula (III):
4
[0030] wherein R5, R7, R8, and R9 are as defined in formula (IA) and LG is a leaving group, e.g:
5
[0031] with a compound of formula (IV):
6
[0032] wherein A, X, Y, and Z are as defined in formula (I), and R1-R4 are as defined in formula (IA), in a suitable solvent, e.g. THF, at about 10-30° C., e.g. for about 16 hours.
[0033] When R5 in formula (III) carries an amino, carboxy or hydroxy group, these groups should be suitably protected. The protecting groups may be removed in a subsequent deprotecting step.
[0034] The compounds of formula (IA), when R6 is other than H, may be prepared by reacting a compound of formula (II) which corresponds to formula (IA), but in which R6 is H, with a suitable alkylating agent, e.g methyl iodide in the presence of a base, e.g. sodium hydride. The alkylating step may be carried out in a suitable solvent e.g dimethyl formamide at about 10-30° C. for e.g 2 hours.
[0035] When R5 in formula (II) and/or the alkylating agent carries an amino, carboxy or hydroxy group, such groups should be suitably protected. The protecting groups may be removed in a subsequent deprotecting step.
[0036] The compounds of formula (II) may be prepared by
[0037] (i) reacting a compound of formula (III), as defined above, with a compound of formula (IV), as defined above, in a suitable solvent e.g. THF, at about 10-30° C., e.g. for 16 h , or
[0038] (ii) by alkylating the product of (i) with a suitable alkylating agent
[0039] when R5 in formula (III) and/or the alkylating agent carries an amino, carboxy or hydroxy group, these should be in a protected form.
[0040] In all processes above, the protecting groups and conditions for deprotection are well known to those skilled in the art. Suitable protecting groups for amino groups are e.g phthaloyl groups and the deprotecting agent may be methylamine in e.g. water. The deprotecting step may be carried out in a suitable solvent, e.g tetrahydrofuran at about 10-30° C., e.g for about 5 hours. Suitable protecting groups for carboxy groups are e.g t-butyl groups and the deprotection step may be carried out in trifluoro acetic acid at about 10-30° C., e.g for about 4 hours. The hydroxy groups are protected as their corresponding acetoxy groups and the deprotecting agent may be methylamine in e.g. water. The deprotecting step may be carried out in a suitable solvent, e.g tetrahydrofuran at about 10-30° C., e.g for about 16 hours.
[0041] In process b) the conversion may be carried out by conventional processes, e.g.
[0042] i) reaction of the free base with an acid containing the desired anion, or by careful basification of the salt, or
[0043] ii) reaction of the free acid with a base containing the desired cation, or by careful acidification of the salt.
[0044] The reaction may be carried out in a suitable solvent, e.g. methanol or methylene chloride.
[0045] Compounds of formula (I) which are not of formula (IA) may be made by analogous processes to those described above for compounds of formula (IA).
[0046] The starting materials for the above processes may be made by the methods set out in the Examples or by methods analogous thereto. Other conventional methods for making the starting materials will be evident to those skilled in the art.
[0047] The compounds of formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are useful because they demonstrate pharmacological activity. In particular they demonstrate activity as kinase inhibitors, especially PKC inhibitors, e.g. as is shown by their activity in the in vitro assays described in Granet, R. A. et al, Analyt. Biochem. 1987; 163, 458-463; Olsson, H. et al, Cell Signal 1989, 1, 405-410; Chakravarthy, B. R. et al, Analyt. Biochem. 1991, 196, 144-150 and Bergstrand, H et al, J. Pharm. Exp. Ther. 1992; 263(3), 1334-1346.
[0048] In appropriate cellular systems, the compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof, can also reduce the generation of inflammatory mediators. For example, the compounds can inhibit oxygen radical generation and generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in monocytes. The compounds are especially useful as inhibitors of one or more cytokines selected from IL-1β, TNF-α, GM-CSF or IL-8.
[0049] The compounds of the invention are indicated for use in the treatment of inflammatory, immunological, bronchopulmonary, cardiovascular, oncological or CNS-degenerative disorders. Preferably for oral or topical treatment of inflammatory and/or immunological disorders, such as the oral or topical treatment of airway diseases involving inflammatory conditions, e.g. asthma, bronchitis or atopic diseases, e.g. rhinitis or atopic dermatitis; inflammatory bowel diseases, e.g. Crohn's disease or colitis; autoimmune diseases e.g. multiple sclerosis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis; malignant diseases, e.g. skin or lung cancer; HIV infections or AIDS; or for inhibiting rejection of organs/transplants.
[0050] The dose of the compound to be administered will depend upon the relevant indication, the age, weight and sex of the patient and may be determined by a physician. The dosage will preferably be in the range of from 0.1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg.
[0051] The compounds may be administered topically, e.g. to the lung and/or the airways, in the form of solutions, suspensions, HFA areosols or dry powder formulations, e.g. formulations in the inhaler denice known as the Turbuhaler®; or systemically, e.g. by oral administration in the form of tablets, pills, capsules, syrups, powders or granules, or by parenteral administration, e.g. in the form of sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, or by rectal administration, e.g. in the form of suppositories.
[0052] The compounds of the invention may be administered on their own or as a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of the invention in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, adjuvant or carrier. Particularly preferred are compositions not containing material capable of causing an adverse, e.g. an allergic, reaction.
[0053] Dry powder formulations and pressurized HFA aerosols of the compounds of the invention may be administred by oral or nasal inhalation. For inhalation the compound is desireably finely divided. The finely divided compound preferably has a mass median diameter of less than 10 μm, and may be suspended in a propellant mixture with the assistance of a dispersant, such as a C8-C20 fatty acid or salt thereof, (e.g. oleic acid), a bile salt, a phospholipid, an alkyl saccharide, a perfluorinated or polyethoxylated surfactant, or other pharmaceutically acceptable dispersant.
[0054] The compounds of the invention may also be administered by means of a dry powder inhaler. The inhaler may be a single or a multi dose inhaler, and may be a breath actuated dry powder inhaler.
[0055] One possibility is to mix the finely divided compound with a carrier substance, e.g. a mono-, di- or polysaccharide, a sugar alcohol, or an other polyol. Suitable carriers are sugars, e.g. lactose, glucose, raffinose, melezitose, lactitol, maltitol, trehalose, sucrose, mannitol; and starch. Alternatively the finely divided compound may be coated by another substance. The powder mixture may also be dispensed into hard gelatine capsules, each containing the desired dose of the active compound.
[0056] Another possibility is to process the finely divided powder into spheres which break up during the inhalation procedure. This spheronized powder may be filled into the drug reservoir of a multidose inhaler, e.g. that known as the Turbuhaler® in which a dosing unit meters the desired dose which is then inhaled by the patient. With this system the active compound, with or without a carrier substance, is delivered to the patient.
[0057] For oral administration the active compound may be admixed with an adjuvant or a carrier, e.g. lactose, saccharose, sorbitol, mannitol; a starch, e.g. potato starch, corn starch or amylopectin; a cellulose derivative; a binder, e.g. gelatine orpolyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or a lubricant, e.g. magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, polyethylene glycol, a wax, paraffin, and the like, and then compressed into tablets. If coated tablets are required, the cores, prepared as described above, may be coated with a concentrated sugar solution which may contain e.g. gum arabic, gelatine, talcum, titanium dioxide, and the like. Alternatively, the tablet may be coated with a suitable polymer dissolved in a readily volatile organic solvent.
[0058] For the preparation of soft gelatine capsules, the compound may be admixed with e.g. a vegetable oil or polyethylene glycol. Hard gelatine capsules may contain granules of the compound using either the above mentioned excipients for tablets. Also liquid or semisolid formulations of the drug may be filled into hard gelatine capsules.
[0059] Liquid preparations for oral application may be in the form of syrups or suspensions, for example solutions containing the compound, the balance being sugar and a mixture of ethanol, water, glycerol and propylene glycol. Optionally such liquid preparations may contain colouring agents, flavouring agents, saccharine and/or carboxymethylcellulose as a thickening agent or other excipients known to those skilled in art.
[0060] The compounds of the invention may also be administered in conjunction with other compounds used for the treatment of the above conditions.
[0061] The term ‘medical therapy’ as used herein is intended to include prophylactic, diagnostic and therapeutic regimens carried out in vivo or ex vivo on humans or other mammals.
[0062] Compounds of the present invention include all stereoisomers, pure and mixed racemates, and mixtures thereof.
