These compounds are kinase inhibitors, in particular inhibitors of the kinase CDK2 (cyclin-dependent kinase 2).


It is known from literature that in the case of neoplastic diseases such as cancer, there is a connection between the therapy of said diseases and the inhibition of CDK2. There are many compounds available, which can be employed as inhibitors of CDK2 and/or other cyclin—dependent kinases such as CDK4 or CDK6 (M. H. Lee et al., Cancer and Metastasis Review, 22, pp. 435-449 (2003); A. Huwe et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 42, pp. 2122-2138 (2003); WO 03/028721).


Pyridazinone derivatives are well known pharmaceuticals, but it has not been reported so far that pyridazinone derivatives can be employed for the inhibition of CDK2. Pyridazinone derivatives described in literature differ from those of the present invention due to a different substitution pattern and different indications.


WO 03/059891 discloses pyridazinone derivatives that are useful for treating diseases and conditions caused or exacerbated by unregulated p38 MAP Kinase activity and/or TNF activity. The compounds described therein can be used, for example, for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease or cancer. They differ from the compounds of the present invention in the substitution of the pyridazinone cycle, since the nitrogen at position 2 of the cycle is mostly substituted with alky, aryl or heteroaryl and at position 4 of the cycle there is no amido group defined as substituent (equals substituent A of the compounds of the present invention).


The documents EP-A 075 436, U.S. Pat. No. 4,734,415 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,353,905 describe pyridazinone derivatives as antihypertensive agents and as agents which increase cardiac contractibility. These pyridazinone derivatives have a phenyl residue at position 6 of the pyridazinone cycle, said phenyl residue is additionally substituted with a heterocycle containing at least one nitrogen atom. Whereas the pyridazinone derivatives described in the documents EP-A 075 436 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,353,905 do not have a substituent at position 4 of the pyridazinone cycle, those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,734,415 may have an amido group substituted with lower alkyl at this position. Compounds as such, explicitly disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 4,743,415, are not a subject of the present invention.


Since neoplastic diseases such as cancer are a very serious risk for the health of humans and other mammals, there is a significant demand for new pharmaceuticals having a beneficial therapeutic profile for the treatment of such diseases. Thus, there exists a strong need for providing further compounds having an inhibitory effect for CDK2. The object of the present invention is to provide compounds showing this ability.


This object is attained by pyridazinone derivatives according to the following formula (I)

If in the compounds of formula (1), groups, fragments, residues or substituents such as aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl etc., may be present several times, they all independently from each other have the meanings indicated and may hence, in each individual case, be identical with or different from each other. The following comments apply to (for example) aryl as well as to any other residue independently from its classification as aryl group, -substituent, -fragment or -residue. One example is the di(C1-C10-alkyl)amino group in which the alkyl substitutents may be identical or different (for instance 2×ethyl or 1×propyl and 1×heptyl).


If in the above-mentioned definitions of compounds according to formula (I) a substituent, for example, aryl, may be unsubstituted or at least mono-substituted with a group of further substituents, for example, C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy, halogen etc., it applies in such cases, where there is a poly-substitution of aryl, that the selection from the group of further substituents is independently from each other. Thus, all combinations of further substituents are comprised in the case of, for example, a double-substitution of aryl. Therefore, aryl may be substituted twice with ethyl, aryl may be mono-substituted with methyl or ethoxy, respectively, aryl may be mono-substituted with ethyl or fluoro, respectively, aryl may be substituted twice with methoxy, etc.


Alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl residues may be linear or branched. This also applies when they are part of other groups, for example, in alkoxy groups (C1-C10-alkyl-O—), alkoxycarbonyl groups or amino groups, or when they are substituted.


Examples of alkyl groups are: methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, and decyl. This comprises both the n-isomers of these residues and isopropyl, isobutyl, isopentyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, neopentyl, 3,3-dimethylbutyl etc. Furthermore, unless stated otherwise, the term alkyl here also includes unsubstituted alkyl residues as well as alkyl residues which are substituted by one or more, for example, one, two, three or four, identical or different residues, for example, aryl, heteroaryl, alkoxy or halogen. The substituents may be present in any desired position of the alkyl group.


Examples of cycloalkyl residues are: cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl and cyclooctyl. All cycloalkyl groups may be unsubstituted or optionally substituted by one or more further residues, as exemplified above in the case of the alkyl groups.


Examples of alkenyl and alkynyl groups are the vinyl residue, the 1-propenyl residue, the 2-propenyl residue (allyl residue), the 2-butenyl residue, the 2-methyl-2-propenyl residue, the 3-methyl-2-butenyl residue, the ethynyl residue, the 2-propynyl residue (propargyl residue), the 2-butynyl residue or the 3-butynyl residue. The term alkenyl here also expressly includes cycloalkenyl residues and cycloalkenylalkyl-residues (alkyl substituted by cycloalkenyl) containing at least three carbon atoms. Examples of cycloalkenyl residues are cyclopentenyl, cyclohexenyl, cycloheptenyl and cyclooctenyl.


The alkenyl residues may have 1 to 3 conjugated or unconjugated double bonds in a straight or branched chain; the same applies to alkynyl residues in respect of triple bonds. The alkenyl and alkinyl residues may be unsubstituted or optionally substituted by one or more further residues, as exemplified above in the case of the alkyl groups.


Examples of polycycloalkyl residues are: adamantyl, quinuclidinyl, bornanyl, norbornanyl, bornenyl and norbornenyl.


If not stated otherwise, the above-mentioned aryl, heteroaryl and heterocyclic residues may be unsubstituted or may carry one or more, for example, one, two, three or four of the substituents indicated in the above definition, which substituents may be in any desired position. In monosubstituted phenyl residues, for example, the substituent may be in the 2-position, the 3-position or the 4-position, in disubstituted phenyl residues the substituents may be in 2,3-position, 2,4-position, 2,5-position, 2,6-position, 3,4-position or 3,5-position. In trisubstituted phenyl residues the substituents may be in 2,3,4-position, 2,3,5-position, 2,3,6-position, 2,4,5-position, 2,4,6-position or 3,4,5-position. In fourfold substituted phenyl residues, the substituents may be in the 2,3,4,5-position, the 2,3,4,6-position, or the 2,3,5,6-position.


The above definitions as well as the following definitions relating to monovalent residues equally apply to the divalent residues phenylene, naphthylene and heteroarylene. Those divalent residues (fragments) may be attached to the adjacent groups by any ring carbon atom. In the case of a phenylene residue, these may be in 1,2-position (ortho-phenylene), 1,3-position (meta-phenylene) or 1,4-position (para-phenylene). In the case of 5-membered ring aromatics containing one heteroatom such as, for example, thiophene or furan, the two free bonds may be in 2,3-position, 2,4-position, 2,5-position or 3,4-position. A divalent residue derived from pyridine may be a 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- or 3,5-pyridinediyl residue. In the case of unsymmetrical divalent residues the present invention includes all positional isomers, i.e., in the case of a 2,3-pyridinediyl residue, for example, it includes the compound in which the one adjacent group is present in the 2-position and the other adjacent group is present in the 3-position as well as the compound in which the one adjacent group is present in the 3-position and the other adjacent group is present in the 2-position.


Unless stated otherwise, heteroaryl residues, heteroarylene residues, heterocyclyl residues, heterocyclylen residues and rings which are formed by two groups bonded to a nitrogen are preferably derived from completely saturated, partially saturated or completely unsaturated heterocycles (i.e., heteroalkanes, heteroalkanes, heteroaromatics), which contain one, two, three or four heteroatoms, which may be identical or different; more preferably they are derived from heterocycles which contain one, two, or three, in particular one or two, heteroatoms, which may be identical or different. Unless stated otherwise, the heterocycles may be monocyclic or polycyclic, for example monocyclic, bicyclic or tricyclic. Preferably they are monocyclic or bicyclic. The rings may be 5-membered rings, 6-membered rings or 7-membered rings. Examples of monocyclic and bicyclic heterocyclic systems from which residues occuring in the compounds of the formula (I) may be derived, are pyrrole, furan, thiophene, imidazole, pyrazole, 1,2,3-triazole, 1,2,4-triazole, 1,3-dioxole, 1,3-oxazole (=Oxazole), 1,2-oxazole (=isoxazole), 1,3-thiazole (=thiazole), 1,2-thiazole (=isothiazole), tetrazole, pyridine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, pyran, thiopyran, 1,4-dioxine, 1,2-oxazine, 1,3-oxazine, 1,4-oxazine, 1,2-thiazine, 1,3-thiazine, 1,4-thiazine, 1,2,3-triazine, 1,2,4-triazine, 1,3,5-triazine, 1,2,4,5-tetrazine, azepine, 1,2-diazepine, 1,3-diazepine, 1,4-diazepine, 1,3-oxazepine, 1,3-thiazepine, indole, benzothiophene, benzofuran, benzothiazole, benzimidazole, benzodioxol, quinoline, isoquinoline, quinazoline, quinoxaline, phthalazine, thienothiophenes, 1,8-naphthyridine and other naphthyridines, pteridin, or phenothiazine, each of them in saturated form (perhydro form) or in partially unsaturated form (for example in the dihydro form or the tetrahydro form) or in maximally unsaturated form, in case the respective forms are known and stable. The term “aryl” and the term “heteroaryl” as used herein comprise bicyclic residues in which both cycles are aromatic as well as bicyclic residues in which only one cycle is aromatic. Suitable aliphatic heterocycles include, for example, the saturated heterocycles pyrrolidine, piperidine, piperazine, imidazolidine, pyrazolidine, isothiazolidine, thiazolidine, isoxazolidine, oxazolidine, tetrahydrofuran, dioxolane, 2-oxo-azepane, morpholine and thiomorpholine as well as the partially unsaturated heterocycles isochromamyl, chromamyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisochinolyl and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrochinolyl. The degree of saturation of heterocyclic groups is indicated in their individual definitions.


Substituents which may be derived from these heterocycles may be attached via any suitable carbon atom. Residues derived from nitrogen heterocycles may carry a hydrogen atom or a substituent on a ring nitrogen atom, and examples include pyrrole, imidazole, pyrrolidine, morpholine, piperazine residues, etc. Those nitrogen heterocyclic residues may also be attached via a ring nitrogen atom, in particular if the respective heterocyclic residue is bonded to a carbon atom. For example, a thienyl residue may be present as 2-thienyl or 3-thienyl, a piperidinyl residue as 1-piperidinyl (=piperidino), 2-piperidinyl, 3-piperidinyl or 4-piperidinyl. Suitable nitrogen heterocycles may also be present as N-oxides or as quarternary salts containing a counterion which is derived from a physiologically acceptable acid. Pyridyl residues, for example, may be present as pyridine-N-oxides.


Arylalkyl means an alkyl residue, which in turn is substituted by an aryl residue. Heteroarylalkyl means an alkyl residue, which in turn is substituted by a heteroaryl residue. Heterocyclylalkyl means an alkyl residue, which in turn is substituted by a heterocyclyl residue. For the definitions and possible substitutions of alkyl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl and aryl it is referred to the above-mentioned definitions.


Halogen is fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, preferably fluorine, chlorine or bromine, more preferably fluorine or chlorine.


The present invention includes all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the formula (I). Centers of asymmetry that are present in the compounds of formula (I) all independently of one another have S configuration or R configuration. The invention includes all possible enantiomers and diastereomers and mixtures of two or more stereoisomers, for example mixtures of enantiomers and/or diastereomers, in all ratios. Thus, compounds according to the present invention which may exist as enantiomers may be present in enantiomerically pure form, both as levorotatory and as dextrorotatory antipodes, in the form of racemates and in the form of mixtures of the two enantiomers in all ratios. In the case of a cis/trans isomerism the invention includes both the cis form and the trans form as well as mixtures of these forms in all ratios. All these forms are an object of the present invention. The preparation of individual stereoisomers may be carried out, if desired, by separation of a mixture by customary methods, for example by chromatography or crystallization, by the use of stereochemically uniform starting materials for the synthesis or by stereoselective synthesis. Optionally, a derivatization may be carried out before a separation of stereoisomers. The separation of a mixture of stereoisomers may be carried out at the stage of the compounds of the formula (I) or at the stage of an intermediate during the synthesis. The present invention also includes all tautomeric forms of the compounds of formula (I), in particular ketoenol tautomerism, i.e. the respective compounds may be present either in their keto form or in their enol form or in mixtures thereof in all ratios.


In case the compounds according to formula (I) contain one or more acidic or basic groups, the invention also comprises their corresponding physiologically or toxicologically acceptable salts.


Physiologically acceptable salts are particularly suitable for medical applications, due to their greater solubility in water compared with the starting or base compounds. Said salts must have a physiologically acceptable anion or cation. Suitable physiologically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of the invention are salts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, nitric acid, sulfonic acid and sulfuric acid and also of organic acids such as, for example, acetic acid, theophyllinacetic acid, methylene-bis-b-oxynaphthoic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, citric acid, ethanesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, fumaric acid, gluconic acid, glycolic acid, isethionic acid, lactic acid, lactobionic acid, maleic acid, malic acid, methanesulfonic acid, succinic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, tartaric acid and trifluoroacetic acid. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable basic salts are ammonium salts, alkali metal salts (such as sodium salts and potassium salts) and alkaline earth metal salts (such as magnesium salts and calcium salts).


Salts having a pharmaceutically unacceptable anion are likewise included within the scope of the present invention as useful intermediates for preparing or purifying pharmaceutically acceptable salts and/or for use in nontherapeutic applications, for example in-vitro applications.


If the compounds of the formula (I) simultaneously contain acidic and basic groups in the molecule, the invention also includes, in addition to the salt forms mentioned, inner salts or betaines (zwitterions).


The respective salts according to the formula (I) may be obtained by customary methods which are known to the person skilled in the art, for example, by contacting these compounds of the formula (I) with an organic or inorganic acid or base in a solvent or dispersant, or by anion exchange or cation exchange with other salts.


The present invention furthermore includes all solvates of compounds of the formula (I), for example hydrates or adducts with alcohols, active metabolites of the compounds of the formula (I), and also derivatives, which contain physiologically tolerable and cleavable groups, for example, esters or amides.


The term “physiologically functional derivative” used herein relates to any physiologically acceptable derivative of an inventive compound of the formula (I), for example, an ester which on administration to a mammal, for example humans, is capable of forming (directly or indirectly) a compound of the formula (I) or an active metabolite thereof.


The physiologically functional derivatives also include prodrugs of the compounds of the invention. Such prodrugs may be metabolized in vivo to a compound of the invention. These prodrugs may or may not be active themselves and are also an object of the present invention.


The compounds of the invention may also be present in various polymorphous forms, for example as amorphous and crystalline polymorphous forms. All polymorphous forms of the compounds of the invention are included within the scope of the invention and are another aspect of the invention.

It is explicitly indicated once more that also in case of the preferred, more preferred, even more preferred, even much more preferred, particularly preferred and exceptionally preferred compounds according to formula (I) the above-mentioned explanations also apply in respect of the salts, stereoisomers, prodrugs, N-oxides etc.; in particular, the respective physiologically acceptable salts are included.


The derivatives of formula (I) for which A=A1=CONHR may be obtained from compounds according to formula (II), where X is a functional group, preferably —OH, C1-C10-alkoxy, chloro or —O—C(O)—(C1-C10-alkyl). The conversion with the amine (III) may be carried out using an inert solvent at 0 to 150° C.


In case X is OH, the compounds of formula (I) may be obtained by acylation of the amine derivatives, either using an acid chloride to be added beforehand or by reaction in the presence of an activating agent.

The reaction may be carried out by forming an acid chloride according to any methods known to persons skilled in the art or more precisely by the action of oxalyl chloride in toluene, dichloromethane (R. D. MILLER, J. Org. Chem, 56, (4) 1453, (1991)) which, thus formed, will react with the amine (III) in the presence of a base such as pyridine, triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine; the reaction can start at 0° C. and when the addition of the acid chloride is complete, the medium is kept stirred at room temperature (G. DAIDONE, Heterocycles, 43, (11), 2385-96, (1996)) or it is heated if necessary.


The reaction may also be carried out in the presence of an activating agent of the carbodiimide type alone (DCC, EDAC) (M. C. DESAI, Tetrahedron Lett., 34, 7685, (1993)) or in the presence of hydroxybenzotriazole and dimethylaminopyridine (J. P. GAMET, Tetrahedron, 40, 1995, (1984), K. BARLOS, J. Org. Chem., 50, 696, (1985)) or according to well known methods of coupling in peptide chemistry (M. BODANSZKY, Principles of Peptide Synthesis; Springer-Verlag, New York, N.Y., pages 9-58, (1984)) or of forming the amide bond.


The derivatives of formula (II) are obtained by the method described in patent FR 2481284 and by Y. Shojiro. Chem. Pharm. Bull., 19 (11) p. 2354. It is necessary to protect the reactive functional groups. The protecting groups are introduced according to any methods known to persons skilled in the art and in particular those described by T. W. GREENE, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, J. Wiley-Interscience Publication (1991). For the phenols, there will be preferably chosen more particularly a benzyl group introduced in the presence of an inorganic base such as sodium carbonate at the reflux temperature of acetone and of acetonitrile (A. R Mac Kenzie, Tetrahedron, 42, 3259, (1986)), which may then be removed by catalytic hydrogenation, or more particularly using trifluoroacetic acid under reflux, described in patent WO 9727846.


The products of general formula (III) may be obtained commercially or by functionalization and protection of the reactive functional groups of commercially available products according to the methods described by Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH, New York, 1999. The nitrile functional groups are reduced with hydrogen in the presence of catalysts, BH3 or more precisely lithium aluminum hydride in solvents such as dioxane or THF (T. M. Koening, Tetrahedron Letters, 35, 1339, (1994)). The phenol functional groups are protected with trimethylsilylethoxymethyl by reacting the starting compound with trimethylsilylethoxymethyl chloride in the presence of sodium hydride in a solvent such as dimethylformamide at room temperature (J. P. WHITTEN, J. Org. Chem., 51, 1891, (1986); M. P. EDWARDS, Tetrahedron, 42, 3723, (1986)). The deprotection is carried out according to methods known to persons skilled in the art and described by T. W. GREENE, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, J. Wiley-Interscience Publication (1991).


The derivatives of formula (I) for which the protecting group is trimethylsilylethoxymethyl can be deprotected by reaction with tetrabutylammonium fluoride under reflux in solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane. (J. P. WHITTEN, J. Org. Chem., 51, 1891, (1986); B. H. LIPSHUTZ, Tetrahedron Lett., 4095, (1986)).


The derivatives of formula (I) for which the protecting group is an ester can be saponified according to any methods known to persons skilled in the art and in particular by the action of sodium hydroxide on the reflux (L. Anzalone, J. Org. Chem., 50, 2128, (1985)).


For the derivatives in formula (I) for which A A2 NHCOR, it is necessary to subject the derivatives of formula (II) to a rearrangement according to the methods described by Larock, Comprehensive Organic. Transformations, VCH, New York, 1999 or more particularly by B. Singh, HETEROCYCLES, 31, (12), 2163, (1990).

By the route (a) the reaction is carried out in the presence of a base such as pyridine, triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine; the reaction may start at 0° C., and when the addition of the acid chloride is complete, the medium is kept stirred at room temperature (G. DAIDONE, Heterocycles, 43, (11), 2385-96, (1996)) or it is heated if necessary.


By the route (b) the reaction is carried out at the reflux temperature of an inert solvent such as xylene or tetrahydrofuran (F. ALBERICIO, Synth. Commun., 31,

    • (2), 225-32, (2001)) or dichloromethane (G. PROCTER, Tetrahedron, 51, (47), 12837-842, (1995)) or in the anhydride itself.


By the route (c) the reaction is carried out in the presence of an activating agent of the carbodiimide type alone (DCC, EDAC) (M. C. DESAI, Tetrahedron Left., 34, 7685, (1993)) or in the presence of hydroxybenzotriazole and dimethylaminopyridine (J. P. GAMET, Tetrahedron, 40, 1995, (1984), K. BARLOS, J. Org. Chem., 50, 696, (1985)) or according to well known methods of coupling in peptide chemistry (M. BODANSZKY, Principles of Peptide Synthesis; Springer-Verlag, New York, N.Y., pages 9-58, (1984)) or of forming the amide bond.


Furthermore, compounds according to general formula (I) can be prepared by palladium catalyzed coupling according to a reaction of Suzuki (I. Parrot et al., Synthesis; 7; 1163-1168, (1999)). A compound of formula (IV), where Y1 is halogen, B(OH)2 or Sn(C1-C10-alkyl) and Y2 is H or a protecting group, is hereby converted with a compound of formula (V).

Z may be, for example, B(OH)2, B(C1-C10-alkyl)2, Sn(C1-C10-alkyl)3, Zn(C1-C10-alkyl) or halogen. In case Y2 is a protecting group, said group is removed after the reaction of (IV) and (V) using methods known by a person skilled in the art. All protecting groups known by a person skilled in the art can be used as protecting groups, preferably trimethylsilylethoxymethyl-. For performing the palladium catalyzed coupling all palladium complexes known by a person skilled in the art can be employed, preferably Pd(triphenylphosphin)4 (Pd-tetrakis-catalyst) is employed, which is preferably obtained in situ from palladium acetate.


The compounds of formula (I) are isolated and may be purified by known methods, for example by crystallization, chromatography or extraction.


A subject of the present invention is also the use of compounds according to the general formula (I) as pharmaceuticals or medicaments, respectively. With respect to the definition of the substituents A and Ar (as well as all further substituents defined by the before-mentioned substituents), the same explanations apply as laid out above in the context with the compounds as such.


The use of compounds according to the general formula (I) as a pharmaceutical, where the compounds have the above-mentioned preferred, more preferred, even more preferred, even much more preferred, in particular preferred or exceptionally preferred meaning, are also subject of the present invention.


The compounds of general formula (I) are kinase inhibitors and can therefore be employed for the treatment of diseases, which may result from an abnormal activity of kinases. As abnormal kinase activity, there may be mentioned, for example, that of CDK2 and the like.


In particular, compounds according to the present invention can be used for the inhibition of the kinase CDK2. Since CDK2 is usually part of a complex, such as CDK2/cyclin A or CDK2/cyclin E complexes, the compounds of the present invention can also used as inhibitors of CDK2/cyclin A or CDK2/cyclin E. This effect is particularly relevant for the treatment of neoplastic diseases such cancer.


Examples of diseases, which can be treated with the compounds according to the present invention, include: neoplastic diseases, preferably cancer, in particular a solid tumor.


In the above-mentioned explanation, the treatment also includes prophylaxis, therapy or curing of the above-mentioned diseases.


All references to “compound(s) according to formula (I)” refer hereinbelow to a compound/compounds of the formula (I) as described above and also to their salts, solvates and physiologically functional derivatives as described herein.


The compounds of the formula (I) can be administered to animals, preferably to mammals, and in particular to humans the compounds of the formula (1) can be administered as pharmaceuticals by themselves, in mixtures with one another or in mixtures with other pharmaceuticals or in the form of pharmaceutical preparations. Further subjects of the present invention therefore also are the use of the compounds of the formula (I) for preparing one or more medicaments for prophylaxis and/or treatment of the before-mentioned diseases, pharmaceutical preparations (or pharmaceutical compositions) comprising an effective dose of at least one compound of the formula (I) as well as pharmaceutical preparations comprising an effective dose of at least one compound of the formula (I) for prophylaxis and/or treatment of the before-mentioned diseases.


The amount of a compound according to formula (I) which is required in order to attain the desired biological effect depends on a number of factors, for example the specific compound selected, the intended use, the type of administration and the clinical state of the patient. In general, the daily dose is in the range from 0.3 mg to 100 mg (typically from 3 mg to 50 mg) per day per kilogram of body weight, for example 3-10 mg/kg/day. An intravenous dose can be, for example, in the range from 0.3 mg to 1.0 mg/kg and can be administered in a suitable manner as an infusion of 10 ng to 100 ng per kilogram per minute. Suitable infusion solutions for these purposes may contain, for example, from 0.1 ng to 10 mg, typically from 1 ng to 10 mg per milliliter. Individual doses may contain, for example, from 1 mg to 10 g of the active compound. Thus, ampoules for injections can contain, for example, from 1 mg to 100 mg, and orally administerable individual dose formulations such as, for example, tablets or capsules can contain, for example, from 1.0 to 1000 mg, typically from 10 to 600 mg. In the case of pharmaceutically acceptable salts, the abovementioned masses relate to the mass of the free compound on which the salt is based. The compound used for the prophylaxis or therapy of the abovementioned conditions may be the compounds according to formula (I) themselves, but they are preferably present in the form of a pharmaceutical composition together with an acceptable carrier. The carrier must be naturally acceptable, in the sense that it is compatible with the other ingredients of said composition and is not harmful to the patient's health. The carrier may be a solid or a liquid or both and is preferably formulated with the compound as an individual dose, for example as a tablet which may contain from 0.05% to 95% by weight of the active compound. Further pharmaceutically active substances may also be present, including further compounds according to formula (I). The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared according to any of the known pharmaceutical methods which essentially comprise mixing the ingredients with pharmacologically acceptable carriers and/or excipients.


Besides at least one compound according to formula (I) as well as one or more carriers, the pharmaceutical preparations can also contain additives. As additives can be employed, for example: fillers, binders, lubricants, wetting agents, stabilizers, emulsifiers, dispersants, preservatives, sweeteners, colorants, flavorings, aromatizers, thickeners, diluents, buffer substances, solvents, solubilizers, agents for achieving a depot effect, salts for altering the osmotic pressure, coating agents or antioxidants.


The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be in form of a pill, tablet, lozenge, coated tablet, granule, capsule, hard or soft gelatin capsule, aqueous solution, alcoholic solution, oily solution, syrup, emulsion suspension pastille suppository, solution for injection or infusion, ointment, tincture, cream, lotion, powder, spray, transdermal therapeutic systems, nasal spray, aerosol mixture, microcapsule, implant, rod or plaster.


Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are those which are suitable for oral, rectal, topical, peroral (e.g. sublingual) and parenteral (e.g. subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal or intravenous) administration, although the most suitable manner of administration depends in each individual case on the nature and severity of the condition to be treated and on the nature of the compound according to formula (I) used in each case. Sugar-coated formulations and sugar-coated delayed-release formulations, too, are included within the scope of the invention. Preference is given to acid-resistant and enteric formulations. Suitable enteric coatings include cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose phthalate and anionic polymers of methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate.


Suitable pharmaceutical compounds for oral administration may be present in separate units as, for example, capsules, cachets, lozenges or tablets, which in each case contain a particular amount of the compound according to formula (I); as powders (gelatin capsules or cachets) or granules; as solution or suspension in an aqueous or nonaqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion. As already mentioned, said compositions can be prepared according to any suitable pharmaceutical method which includes a step in which the active compound and the carrier (which may comprise one or more additional components) are contacted. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniform and homogeneous mixing of the active compound with a liquid and/or finely dispersed solid carrier, after which the product is shaped, if necessary. Thus a tablet, for example, may be prepared by pressing or shaping a powder or granules of the compound, where appropriate with one or more additional components. Pressed tablets can be prepared by tableting the compound in free-flowing form, for example a powder or granules, mixed, where appropriate, with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent and/or one or more surface active/dispersing agents in a suitable machine. Shaped tablets can be prepared by shaping the pulverulent compound, moistened with an inert liquid diluent, in a suitable machine. As diluents can be used, for example, starch, cellulose, saccharose, lactose or silica. The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also comprise substances other than diluents, for example one or more lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc, a coloring, a coating (sugar-coated tablets) or a varnish.


Pharmaceutical compositions which are suitable for peroral (sublingual) administration include lozenges which contain a compound according to formula (I) with a flavoring, usually sucrose and gum arabic or tragacanth, and pastilles which comprise the compound in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerol or sucrose and gum arabic.


Suitable pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration preferably comprise sterile aqueous preparations of a compound according to formula (I) which are preferably isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient. These preparations are preferably administered intravenously, although they may also be administered subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intradermally as an injection. Said preparations may preferably be prepared by mixing the compound with water and rendering the obtained solution sterile and isotonic with the blood. Injectable compositions of the invention generally contain from 0.1 to 5% by weight of the active compound.


These sterile compositions for parenteral administration may be preferably solutions which are aqueous or non aqueous, suspensions or emulsions. As solvent or vehicle, there may be used water, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, in particular olive oil, organic esters for injection, for example, ethyl oleate or other suitable organic solvents. These compositions may also contain adjuvants, in particular wetting, isotonizing, emulsifying, dispersing and stabilizing mediums. The sterilization may be carried out in several ways, for example by an aseptic filtration, by incorporating sterilizing agents into the composition, by irradiation or by heating. They may also be prepared in the form of sterile solid compositions which may be dissolved at the time of use in sterile water or in any other sterile medium for injection.


Suitable pharmaceutical compositions for rectal administration are preferably present as individual dose suppositories. These may be prepared by mixing a compound according to formula (I) with one or more conventional solid carriers, for example cocoa butter, and shaping the resulting mixture.


Suitable pharmaceutical compositions for topical application to the skin are preferably present as ointment, cream, lotion, paste, spray, aerosol or oil. Carriers which may be used are petroleum jelly, lanolin, polyethylene glycols, alcohols and combinations of two or more of these substances. In general, the active compound is present at a concentration of from 0.1 to 15%, for example from 0.5 to 2%, by weight of the composition.


Transdermal administration is also possible. Suitable pharmaceutical compositions for transdermal administration may be present as individual patches which are suitable for long-term close contact with the epidermis of the patient. Such patches suitably contain the active compound in an optionally buffered aqueous solution, dissolved and/or dispersed in an adhesive or dispersed in a polymer. A suitable active compound concentration is from approx. 1% to 35%, preferably approx. 3% to 15%. A particular possibility is the release of the active compound by electrotransport or iontophoresis, as described, for example, in Pharmaceutical Research, 2(6): 318 (1986).

Functional Measurements for Determination of IC50-Values


CDK2/Cyclin E Flashplate Assay: 96-Well Format


A 96-well streptavidin-coated flashplate was used to assay potency of compounds according formula (I) against CDK2/Cyclin E kinase. To carry out the assay, biotinylated-Rb peptide substrate (Biotin-SACPLNLPLQNNHTAADMYLSPVRSPKKKGSTTR-OH) was solubilized at 1 mM in kinase buffer (Hepes 50 mM, NaCl 1 mM, MgCl2 5 mM pH 7.5) as a stock solution conserved at −20° C. in aliquots of 110 μl. The day of the experiment, an aliquot of this solution was thawed and diluted to 14.3 μM in kinase buffer, containing 1 mM dithiothreitoI (DTT) added in the buffer at the same time.


70 μl of this solution was added in each well of the flashplate in order to achieve a final concentration of 10 μM (100 μl reactionnal volume). Serial dilutions of inhibitors were prepared in DMSO from 10 mM stock solutions in order to achieve 1000 μM, 333.3 μM, 111.1 μM, 37.03 μM, 12.35 μM, 4.11 μM and 1.37 μM and all were rediluted in kinase buffer+DTT in order to achieve 100 μM, 33.3 μM, 11.1 μM, 3.7 μM, 1.24 μM, 0.41 μM and 0.14 μM in DMSO 10% buffer (vol/vol). 10 μl of each, of these solutions (or 10 μl of buffer+DTT for controls) were transferred to the testplate wells in order to achieve 10 μM, 3.33 μM, 1.11 μM, 0.37 μM, 0.12 μM, 0.04. μM and 0.01 μM as final concentrations, 1% DMSO (vol/vol). In each well, 10 μl of a solution of a mix of 33PyATP/ATP were added in order to achieve 1 μM final concentration and a total of 1 μCi. The kinase reaction was initiated by addition of 10 μl of a solution at 200 nM of CDK2/Cyclin E in kinase buffer+DTT (or buffer+DTT for blanks) in order to achieve 20 nM final concentration. After addition of each reagent, the test-plate was shakened. The plates were incubated 30 minutes at 30° C. with a shaking at 650 rpm. At the end of the incubation, the plates were washed 3 times with 300 μl of PBS (without calcium and magnesium) per well. The incorporation of 33P to the peptide was measured by scintillation counting.
